Wales lock Luke Charteris will make his 100th RaboDirect PRO12 appearance when the Dragons take on Treviso on Friday.
The 29-year-old made his debut for the region against the Scarlets in 2003 - and has gone on to become a key figure in the side's pack.
Charteris will skipper the side that features four changes - with Adam Hughes, Joe Bedford, Lewis Evans, Sam Parry and Nathan Williams.
Parry will be making his first start for the Dragons, with 17-year-old Hallam Amos set to make his debut off the bench after impressing for Wales Under-18s.
Treviso have benefited from a week off from action and are at full strength for the trip to Rodney Parade.
