SCARLETS prop Rob Evans will make his first international start this weekend after being named in the Wales XV to play Italy in Rome.

The 23-year-old from Haverfordwest won his first cap against Ireland on Saturday after replacing Gethin Jenkins at half time - and will now start ahead of the injured Jenkins this weekend.

Evans is one of two changes to the side that beat Ireland, with Aaron Jarvis also coming into the front row in place of Samson Lee.
