Tuilagi will be ready to face Glasgow

Newport Gwent Dragons’ new signing Andy Tuilagi goes straight into the squad for the RaboDirect PRO12 match against in-form Glasgow Warriors at Rodney Parade on Sunday.

The centre is one of five players who come into the squad following last week’s away defeat away to Scarlets alongside Darren Waters, Matthew Jones, Tom Riley and prop Keiron Jenkins.

Waters comes in to replace Andrew Coombs who had to be stretchered off with a pectoral injury at Parc y Scarlets. Once again, Luke Charteris, Danny Lydiate, Toby Faletau and Lloyd Burns are unavailable but Lewis Evans can play against Sean Linen’s Glasgow, who have won five league games in a row.

Dragons squad: Forwards: P Price, N Williams, Na Buck, D Way, K Jenkins, S Jones, R Buckley, R Sidoli, S Morgan, A Jones, T Brown, G Thomas, D Waters, J Groves. Backs: W Evans, J Bedford, J Tovey, S Jones, M Jones, A Brew, T Chavhanga, A Hughes, L Robling, A Smith, T Riley, A Tuilagi, M Thomas.
