Dan Biggar has been rested by Wales head coach Warren Gatland as he makes 13 changes to his side to face Portugal in their second match of the Rugby World Cup.
Louis Rees-Zammit and Taulupe Faletau are the only players to be retained in the starting line-up from Wales' opening clash against Fiji, with Leigh Halfpenny coming in as one of the more notable additions at full-back for his 101st cap.
'We've made a few changes this week given the six-day turnaround,' said Gatland.'This is an opportunity now for this matchday 23. I've said before, but there's some great competition within the squad, which is what we want to see. There's a chance now for this group to go out Saturday and to put down their own marker in the tournament. 'We've done a thorough debrief of last week's game and know the areas we need to improve.
