Loose head prop Fin Baxter continues to captain the side. Toby Knight remains at openside flanker with Emeka Ilione also staying in position at 8. 

Previously capped, Mikey Summerfield, Kofi Cripps, Matty Jones and Louie Johnson are on the bench, joined by newcomers Joe Vajner, Archie McArthur, Lewis Chessum and Rekeiti Ma’sai White. 

Dickens said: “We had a tough game against Italy but we have had almost two weeks to reflect, analyse and plan for our game against Wales. 

“There’s been a great energy in camp this week with some more new faces involved. 

“This week the focus has been on us and what we can control. That said, we will need to have the ability to tactically adapt within the game situation.

“Having home crowd support at Castle Park will bolster the boys as we take on a competitive Welsh side.”
