Alex Cuthbert, Bradley Davies and Dan Lydiate have been recalled to Wales' starting XV for Friday's Six Nations clash with France in Cardiff.
The return of Cuthbert, in for Tom James, is the only change to the backline which started in their victory over Scotland.
In the pack, Davies comes in for Luke Charteris who has a knee injury, and Lydiate will play on the blindside flank, with Sam Warburton moving back to openside and Justin Tipuric dropped to the bench.
"We have made a couple of changes, one injury enforced with Luke missing out with a knee injury, but Bradley deserves a starting spot as well so it's a good opportunity for him," said Wales coach Warren Gatland.
"We have made two other personnel changes with Alex and Dan coming into the starting team. They have trained well and will suit the game France will potentially bring as well.
"We initially thought we would have to wait until later in the week to have a final update on injuries, but we know where we are earlier than expected and have told the squad, hence announcing today.
"It's set to be another huge Six Nations weekend, France come to Cardiff unbeaten in the campaign so far and impressing under Guy [Noves]. We are looking to continue our unbeaten run and will be looking for another step up after the victory over Scotland."
There are two personnel changes among the replacements with Jake Ball coming into the match day 23 alongside Tipuric.
Wales: 15 Liam Williams, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Jonathan Davies, 12 Jamie Roberts, 11 George North, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Gareth Davies, 1 Rob Evans, 2 Scott Baldwin, 3 Samson Lee, 4 Bradley Davies, 5 Alun Wyn Jones, 6 Dan Lydiate, 7 Sam Warburton, 8 Taulupe Faletau.
Replacements: 16 Ken Owens, 17 Gethin Jenkins, 18 Tomas Francis, 19 Jake Ball, 20 Justin Tipuric, 21 Lloyd Williams, 22 Rhys Priestland, 23 Gareth Anscombe.
