Wales have made four changes for Friday's final Six Nations Under-20s fixture against England at Cardiff Arms Park.
Richard Whiffin's side saw two red cards in a 27-12 loss to Scotland last week, forcing two changes.
Cardiff scrum-half Sion Davies is set to make his first start of the campaign following Logan Franklin's red card, while Dan Gemine replaces suspended lock Tom Cottle.
Dragons fly-half Harri Ford also misses out due to an ankle injury and is replaced by Harri Wilde.
"Whether it is through injury or suspension the opportunities and chances opens up for someone else and we hope those guys grab it," Whiffin said.
Wales will be looking to deny England their first Grand Slam since 2021 after sweeping Italy aside 33-24 in round four.
"We're focussing on ourselves this week. England have performed very well during the tournament – they are current world champions as well, so it is going to be a hell of a game," said Whiffin.
"It's a tough tournament, every game is tough, lots of tight turnarounds, lots of travel but for us to finish at home in front of a home crowd I think it would be a really nice send off for the boys.
"We had such a good performance last time out against Ireland at Rodney Parade and we are hoping for the same intent and endeavour against what will be a really good England team."
