PROP Darren Crompton and three-quarter Anthony Elliott will make their first starts of the season when Bristol face Scarlets at Stradey Park tomorrow night (7.05pm).

Crompton damaged ankle ligaments in the opening pre-season match at Exeter two months ago, while Elliott, who starts at full-back and not his preferred wing role, has struggled with a knee injury.

Chris Ashwin, 19, wins his full debut after being signed from National Division One Newbury during the summer.

Bristol make 14 changes to the side that beat Toulon 39-11 last week with winger

Lee Robinson the only player retained.

Bristol: A Elliott; L Robinson, L Eves, J Fatialofa, M Turner; C Ashwin, H Thomas; M Irish, S Linklater, D Crompton, M Sambucetti, R Sidoli, M Salter (capt), R Pennycook, A Blowers. Reps: D Blaney, P Bracken, D Attwood, C Pennycook, S Alford, K Maggs, G Barden.
