“It a massive chance for me to learn from Rob Sidoli, as our line out doctor, so I will learn a lot from these guys and take it all into my own game. You will still learn off those players even if they are playing, they are good to have around and in the squad,” said Hill.

Dragons have made a total of 11 changes to the starting XV including fly half Steffan Jones who will get his first start of the season.

Joining him in the backs is full-back Rhys Jones who had an impressive performance last weekend. He then sits alongside winger Ashton Hewitt from the Dragons Academy and Matthew Pewtner. The centre pairing of Ashley Smith and Tyler Morgan remains the same from the team that faced Scarlets and Jonathan Evans gets his fourth start of the season as scrumhalf.

The front row takes the form of Phil Price, Hugh Gustafson and Nathan Buck, and they play alongside second rows  Hill and Sidoli who also takes on the role of skipper for this game.

International No 8 Netani Talei takes on the challenge of blindside flanker tomorrow afternoon and he is joined in the back row by academy player James Benjamin as open side flanker and number 8 Ieuan Jones.

On the bench for the Dragons are Elliot Dee, Aaron Coundley, Dan Way, Scott Matthews, Luc Jones, Dorian Jones and Will Harries.
