The 25-year-old will start in the backfield alongside fellow Welsh international Toby Faletau.
The Dragons are currently second from bottom with just five wins and that may suggest that Munster can stand a fighting chance. However, the Dragons have troubled the Irish club on many previous occasions and may prove a challenge after all.
"We have put to bed the disappointment of losing against Leinster last week," Dennis Hurley said. "Of paramount importance is getting Munster back into the black with victory tonight over Newport Gwent Dragons.
"The atmosphere between the players on the field was so good that you kept going. Every time you were at the bottom of a ruck, someone is pulling you up off the ground to get going again, to get back in defence or back in attack. That is the way we play together."
The Dragons only win in their last eleven contest against Munster was a 14-3 win at home in November 2012.
Munster have won just one of their last six Pro12 fixtures a 22-0 home win over Connacht in Cork on 23 March.
