New Zealand-born backs Johnny McNicholl and Willis Halaholo have been named in the Wales 35-man squad for their match against the Barbarians in Cardiff next Saturday.
Wales coach Wayne Pivac has an experienced squad featuring 22 players who were involved in the World Cup for his first game in charge since taking over from Warren Gatland.
Including McNicoll and Halaholo, who qualified through the residency rule, there are five players who could play for Wales for the first time. Taine Basham, Shane Lewis-Hughes and Ashton Hewitt could all make a first appearance in the red jersey.
However, none of the debutants will be awarded caps as the game does qualify as a full international.

All three of Wales’ World Cup scrumhalves – Aled Davies, Gareth Davies and Tomos Williams – feature in the squad alongside flyhalves Sam Davies and Jarrod Evans.
Halaholo is named as one of the centres alongside Hadleigh Parkes and Owen Watkin. Backline selections in addition to Hewitt and McNicholl also include Josh Adams, Hallam Amos, Steff Evans, Owen Lane and Leigh Halfpenny.
