Alun Wyn Jones, Taulupe Faletau and Justin Tipuric have been left out of Wales’ starting team for Saturday’s Six Nations visit to Scotland.
Warren Gatland has rung the changes to his pack following last week’s heavy defeat to Ireland.
It includes first Wales starts for Exeter Chiefs pair Dafydd Jenkins and Christ Tshiunza while Tommy Reffell completes a new-look back-row.
Ken Owens, Adam Beard and Jack Morgan are the only forwards kept in.
The backline is unchanged, but the omissions in the pack signal the start of a changing of the guard for Wales.
Having opted for experience in the opening game against Ireland, Gatland is using the trip to Murrayfield to blood new players, with one eye on the World Cup later this year.
Former Wales captains Jones and Tipuric have both been omitted completely from the match-day squad, while their Ospreys team-mate Rhys Davies is poised to make his Test debut off the bench.
Faletau will travel to Edinburgh having been dropped to the bench.
Wales: L Williams; Adams, North, Hawkins, Dyer; Biggar, T Williams; W Jones, Owens (capt), Lewis, Jenkins, Beard, Tshiunza, Reffell, Morgan.
Replacements: Baldwin, Carre, Brown, Davies, Faletau, Webb, Patchell, Cuthbert.
