Wales international Elliot Dee will make his return to action as Dragons A face Scarlets Development in a friendly fixture at Rodney Parade on Friday evening (kick-off 6pm).
Hooker Dee has been named in the starting line-up as Dragons look to build momentum and also give valuable game time across the squad.
The front row under the Friday night lights in Newport will see Dee joined by experienced prop Greg Bateman and Academy product Chris Coleman.
The two Joes - Davies and Maksymiw - maintain their partnership from the Cardiff Rugby fixture and link-up in the second row while Huw Taylor, Dan Baker and Ben Fry join forces in the back row.
A half back pairing of scrum half Dan Babos and fly half Josh Lewis will also get their opportunity against the West Walians.
A new combination in the middle of the park sees Adam Warren and Jared Rosser line up at centre.
The talented back three includes speedster Rio Dyer - fresh from his try scoring appearance against Cardiff - on the wing and he is joined by Dragons Academy ace Oli Andrew and full back Ioan Davies.
Supporters are reminded that entry to the fixture is FREE for Season Members and Under-16s. Adults and concessions is £5 and gates open from 5pm. To buy tickets click HERE
