Scarlets hooker Harry Thomas will complete a full house of Six Nations starts in Friday’s Wales U20s clash with England at the Arms Park (KO 7.30pm, S4C).
The New Dock Stars product has enjoyed an outstanding campaign, scoring five tries in four matches.
Back Elis Price, who can slot in at centre or fly-half, is named among the replacements for the match-up with the old enemy.
Head coach Richard Whiffin has made four changes to the starting line-up, two enforced due to suspensions.
Dan Gemine returns to the second row in place of the suspended Tom Cottle as the only change in the engine room.
Osian Roberts replaces Elijah Evans at outside centre while Sion Davies earns a first start of the campaign, replacing the suspended Logan Franklin. Harri Wilde returns to start at fly-half in place of Harri Ford who suffered an ankle injury against Scotland last weekend.
England will arrive seeking a Grand Slam and tags of favourites for the match after sweeping Italy aside 33-24 at The Recreation Ground in round four.
“We’re focusing on ourselves this week,” said Whiffin. “England have performed very well during the tournament – they are current world champions as well, so it is going to be a hell of a game.
“We had such a good performance last time out against Ireland at Rodney Parade at home and we are hoping for the same intent and endeavour against what will be a really good England team.
“The boys have worked so hard for this period, it’s a tough tournament, every game is tough, lots of tight turnarounds, lots of travel but for us to finish at home in front of a home crowd I think it would be a really nice send off for the boys to finish the tournament well with a really good performance and hopefully a victory.”
