The Dragons welcome back promising centre Aneurin Owen to the matchday squad to face Ulster for what would be his first appearance of the year.
The uncapped 22-year-old has been out since December after suffering a serious knee injury against the Stormer in Port Elizabeth. But he returns to take up a place on the bench for Friday's trip to Belfast (kick-off: 7.35pm).
Elsewhere, Angus O'Brien returns to the starting side after the birth of his second child, starting at fly-half despite having been preferred at full-back for much of the season.
