Liam Williams and Dan Biggar will miss Wales' final Rugby World Cup warm-up against reigning champions South Africa on Saturday.
Both players had been selected to start the match in Cardiff, but have been withdrawn as a precautionary measure.
The Welsh Rugby Union said Thursday that full-back Williams had a tight hamstring, with fly-half Biggar suffering from back irritation. Cai Evans comes off the bench to make his Test debut as Williams's replacement, with Sam Costelow replacing Biggar at stand-off.15 Cai Evans; 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Mason Grady, 12 Johnny Williams, 11 Rio Dyer; 10 Sam Costelow, 9 Kieran Hardy; 8 Aaron Wainwright, 7 Jac Morgan , 6 Dan Lydiate; 5 Will Rowlands, 4 Ben Carter; 3 Keiron Assiratti, 2 Elliot Dee, 1 Corey Domachowski
