Warren Gatland has wielded the axe by making seven changes to his team to face England on Saturday.
Fit-again centre George North returns for his 50th Six Nations appearance.
Ioan Lloyd and Tomos Williams, who helped spark the comeback against Scotland, are rewarded with starts.
Gatland has also changed his entire starting front-row with Gareth Thomas, Elliot Dee and Keiron Assiratti all selected as well flanker Alex Mann for his first Test start.
Scrum-half Gareth Davies is dropped from the matchday squad while Owen Watkin makes way for North. Sam Costelow (neck), Leon Brown (shoulder) and James Botham (knee) are injured.
Prop Corey Domachowski and hooker Ryan Elias step down to a bench that includes uncapped Bath tight-head prop Archie Griffin.
Cai Evans could also make his Six Nations debut as a replacement and is joined by Dragons team-mate Taine Basham, Scarlets scrum-half Kieran Hardy and lock Will Rowlands, who missed last week following the birth of his child.
Wales team to face England: Winnett; Dyer, North, Tompkins, Adams; Lloyd, Williams; Thomas, Dee, Assiratti, Jenkins (capt), Beard, Mann, Reffell, Wainwright.
Replacements: Elias, Domachowski, Griffin, Rowlands, Basham, Hardy, Evans, Grady.
Dafydd Jenkins continues as captain, full-back Cam Winnett wins his second cap while Josh Adams escapes punishment after being singled-out by Gatland for a petulant but ultimately costly penalty against Scotland.
Gatland said: “We’ve been critical and tough on ourselves this week. That first half was nowhere near the standards we expect. We simply cannot start the same way this Saturday.
“We showed in the second half against Scotland what we are capable of. Now it’s about building on that performance and playing with some tempo from the off.
“We’ve made a few changes to the starting line-up this weekend which gives opportunities to the players coming in. We need to be accurate and keep our discipline.
“This is a massive game, not only because of the history and what it means to everyone in Wales. But it’s an opportunity to get things on track a bit more.
“England are in a rebuilding phase. We’ll go there with a lot of confidence we can build on that second-half and belief.”
