Head coach Richard Whiffin has named four uncapped players in Wales' starting XV for their opening Under-20 Six Nations game against France
Dragons duo Logan Franklin and Evan Minto will both make their debuts at scrum-half and number eight respectively.
Bristol Bears second row Kenzie Jenkins and Gloucester flanker Deian Gwynne are the other newcomers who will run out in Vannes on Saturday.
"It was a tough team to pick as a lot of guys have put their hands up over the past couple of weeks," said Whiffin, who last week named a 41-man squad.
"Where we've come to is a team full of pace, speed and power and ultimately in skill and that is how we want to attack the game on Saturday.
"We've got boys with experience who know how we want to play and can help the younger boys in terms of our game model. The younger guys come in with a fresh view and new ideas and have an opportunity to push our game forward."
Leicester Tigers flanker Harry Beddall captains the team who are looking to build on last year's fifth position.
"Harry is someone who has high emotional intelligence and understands the game and is a good barometer of the group. On game day he is someone who leads by example," added Whiffin.
