The 28-year-old, who helped the Welsh region into second place in Pool 1 and a quarter-final tie at Bristol Bears on April 5, joins fellow Dragon Ross Moriarty in the Wales pack.

There is also a recall for Scarlets prop Wyn Jones, who like Hill will win his 26th cap on Saturday. He partners clubmate Ken Owens in the front row.

Jones and Owens are two of four players from Challenge Cup quarter-finalists Scarlets, who face a trip to RC Toulon on April 3, in the Wales XV. The others are full-back Leigh Halfpenny and wing Liam Williams.

Meanwhile, Edinburgh Rugby hooker Stuart McInally and No.8 Magnus Bradbury both return to Scotland's starting line-up at the weekend.

The duo, who have featured in Edinburgh’s progress to the last eight of the Challenge Cup and a quarter-final at Bordeaux-Begles on April 4, are two of six forwards from the capital side in the Scotland pack. The others are prop Rory Sutherland, lock Grant Gilchrist and flankers Jamie Ritchie and Hamish Watson.

In addition, Edinburgh prop Willem Nell is on the bench and Blair Kinghorn is on the left wing.

Cory Hill, second-row forward with European Rugby Challenge Cup quarter-finalists Dragons, will make his first start for Wales since February 2019 in Saturday’s Six Nations Championship game against Scotland in Cardiff.
