Hill will pack down alongside Adam Beard in the second-row and there is one change in the front-row with Wyn Jones coming into the side to start alongside Elliot Dee and Dillon Lewis.
Seb Davies and Ross Moriarty remain in the back-row and are joined by James Davies at openside flanker.
Scarlets half-backs Gareth Davies and Rhys Patchell are named at nine and ten with Hadleigh Parkes partnering Scott Williams in the midfield. George North, Josh Adams and Hallam Amos are named as the back-three.
