Cardiff Blues prop Gethin Jenkins will captain a rejigged Wales team for their clash with Fiji at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on Saturday, head coach Warren Gatland announced Tuesday.

Gatland has elected to make eight changes to the team beaten 33-28 by Australia last weekend, although there is no place in the starting XV for recalled Gloucester fly-half James Hook.

Jenkins takes over from Paul James in the front row, while Scott Baldwin will make his first Wales start at hooker.

Flanker Sam Warburton, the regular captain, is being rested.
