The 19-year-old returns after two months out suffering with an ankle injury, which happened against Irish outfit Leinster rugby in February. This will be his 33rd appearance for the region and the first time he has played Edinburgh Rugby at Rodney Parade.

Amos is joined in the back three alongside fullback Dan Evans and open side wing Tom Prydie. The centre pairing of Pat Leach and Ashley Smith has altered from last weekend, as Smith sustained an ankle injury against Zebre whilst scoring a try. Jones has selected young gun Jack Dixon to take his place at inside centre. Both halfbacks, Jason Tovey and Richie Rees retain their places from the previous encounter against Italian’s Zebre.

Jones has once again put his trust in the same front row utilising Phil Price, Wales under 20s star Elliot Dee and experienced prop Duncan Bell after they put in a great performance against Zebre. They are joined by a second row consisting of skipper Andrew Coombs and Matthew Screech. There are also no changes to the back row as Lewis Evans, Nic Cudd and Taulupe Faletau also retain their places from last weekend.

There has been one positional change and three changes to the bench. Owen Evans, Bruce Douglas, Ross Wardle and Will Harries all join Sam Parry, Cory Hill, Jevon Groves and Wayne Evans on the replacements bench.
