Dan Biggar and Liam Williams are set to play in Wales' quarter-final match against Argentina on Saturday (14th October).
Naming the team, head coach Warren Gatland said that his side is "ready for the challenge".
Jac Morgan makes his fourth start and captains the side at blindside flanker.
Biggar returns at fly-half and Gareth Davies is at scrum-half.

Gatland said: “We had a goal of making the quarter-finals which we have achieved. Now it’s about building on that momentum.
“All our preparation has been geared to getting to this spot and we’re very much relishing the opportunity.
“We’re expecting another tough encounter this weekend against a physical Argentina side. We haven’t had the perfect performance yet, but we have shown that we are a hard team to beat.
“There is a lot more growth in this squad – collectively and individually – and we can’t wait to get out there in Marseille on Saturday.”
Wales have lost just once in their last six games against Argentina, having won four and drawn once.
Most recently, Wales won 20-13 at the Principality Stadium last November under the guidance of Wayne Pivac.
The two teams will meet for the knockout game at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille on Saturday, October 14 at 4:00pm.
