NEWPORT Gwent Dragons head coach Kingsley Jones has rung the changes for Glasgow with Lewis Evans returning to captain the side against the Guinness Pro12 title hopefuls tomorrow (kick-off 7.35pm).

Evans will captain the side from number eight at Rodney Parade after missing last week’s 27-11 loss at Treviso through illness.

He is one of 10 new faces in the XV with wing Pat Howard, centres Jack Dixon and Sam Beard, fly-half Nick Macleod, scrum-half Sarel Pretorius, hooker Rhys Thomas, tighthead Brok Harris, lock Matthew Screech and blindside Nick Crosswell also coming in.

Number eight Ed Jackson sits out a first game after making a bright start to the season with Harri Keddie poised for a first Rodney Parade game at regional level.

He is joined on the bench by wing/full-back Tom Prydie, who has proved his fitness with Bedwas in the Principality Premiership after nine months out with a knee injury.

Livewire full-back Stuart Hogg sits the game out for Glasgow but his fellow Lions hopeful Tommy Seymour starts on the wing as he hunts an eighth try of the season while Olympic sevens silver medallist Mark Bennett starts in midfield.

The Warriors boast a formidable pack featuring Scotland lock Jonny Gray, powerful number eight Josh Strauss and former All Blacks hooker Corey Flynn.
