The Northampton wing has recovered from a leg injury that sidelined him for Wales' 21-16 loss to reigning champions England earlier this month, and he replaces Alex Cuthbert.

It is the only change following the England defeat, with Wales boss Rob Howley retaining a back row of Sam Warburton, Justin Tipuric and Ross Moriarty, and 63 times-capped number eight Taulupe Faletau again on the bench.
