The Pontypridd flanker is named on the openside for tomorrow's clash, and is joined by Pontypridd teammate, Hemi Barnes, and Cardiff Blues' Sion Bennett in the back row.
The outside backs are made up of full-back Dan Fish and Cardiff Blues academy's Owen Lane and Ponty's Dale Stuckey, with Will Rees-Hole, who has been in fine try-scoring form for Cardiff in the Premiership recently, linking up with Harri Millard in midfield.
Cardiff Blues academy and Wales U20's duo, Ben Jones and Dane Blacker, are reunited at half back.
Keiron Assiratti, who has featured for Cardiff Blues six times this season, is named at tighthead, with Ethan Lewis and Chris Phillips also lining up in the front row, while Sean Moore and Ben Murphy are the starting locks.
Bristol have been in fine form under new head coach, Pat Lam, maintaining a 100 per cent start to the campaign with six wins under their belts in the English Championship.
The Cardiff Blues Premiership Select side will be lead by head coach Justin Burnell, who is assisted by Llyr Lane and Matthew Rees.
Cardiff Blues Premiership Select travel to Dublin to take on Leinster 'A' next week at the Donnybrook Stadium, with Doncaster Knights also drawn in Pool 2.
