The Dragons are targeting a first away win of the season as they face Benetton in Treviso this afternoon (5..30pm).
Filo Tiatia’s side are hunting a place in the knockout stages of the Challenge Cup and a victory over Benetton will move the Welsh club a step closer to achieving that goal.
Tiatia has decided to rest a number of key players after a bruising festive period.
There is a start for promising full-back Huw Anderson, who is joined in the back-three by Ewan Rosser and Rio Dyer, while Joe Westwood and David Richards are the centres.
Scrum-half Rhodri Williams captains the side with Tinus de Beer wearing the number 10 jersey. Rodrigo Martinez, Oli Burrows and Cebo Dlamini make up the front-row with Levi Douglas and Matthew Screech in the second-row.
Ryan Woodman, Harry Beddall and Shane Lewis-Hughes are in the back-row.
The Dragons have hit some form, having won three out of their last four matches.
With regards the Challenge Cup they started with a disappointing defeat in Perpignan but bounced back with a superb comeback victory over Lyon at Rodney Parade.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm with the game live on S4C.
