Wales have made one change to their starting line-up from the team who beat Scotland 24-6 for the RBS 6 Nations Round 3 clash against Italy in Rome on Saturday.
Scarlets playmaker Stephen Jones returns at fly half and Osprey James Hook moves to outside centre as Scarlets midfielder Jonathan Davies was not considered after picking up a hamstring injury.
On the bench Blues wing Leigh Halfpenny returns from an ankle injury to fill the berth vacated by the 97-times capped Jones.
Wales assistant coach Rob Howley talks exclusively to WRU TV about team selection and looks ahead to the Italy clash.
Wales: Lee Byrne; Morgan Stoddart, James Hook, Jamie Roberts, Shane Williams; Stephen Jones, Michael Phillips; Paul James, Matthew Rees (capt), Craig Mitchell, Bradley Davies, Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Yydiate, Sam Warburton, Ryan Jones
