Wales have recalled flanker Sam Warburton and full-back Leigh Halfpenny for Saturday's Test against Australia in Cardiff.
Hooker Richard Hibbard and scrum-half Rhys Webb, who also missed this year's tour of South Africa due to injury, were also included in the starting line-up.
George North and Jamie Roberts form a formidable centre partnership and prop Paul James continues in the front row alongside Samson Lee and Hibbard.
Wales have lost their last eight Tests against Australia by single-figure margins.
"We have spoke a lot about this autumn and the year ahead and we are really excited to kick off the campaign this weekend," coach Warren Gatland said.
"We have had a couple of very hard weeks at training, the squad have been put through their paces but have come through well.
"It's good to be able to bring back a number of players who missed the last two tests, and they add to what is a very experienced side."
