In Wayne Pivac's inaugural Six Nations campaign, the former Scarlets and Fiji head coach has selected five Ospreys in his 38-man squad.
Three of the five come from the pack, with Adam Beard and Alun Wyn Jones representing the second row, with the latter selected once more to lead the side. Ospreys captain Justin Tipuric is among the rich back row selection.
In the backs, Owen Watkin, who has recently re-signed for the Ospreys, makes a timely return to international duties; and winger George North, who made a start at centre against Saracens over the weekend, gives Pivac a powerful running proposition in the wide channels.
