Jones-Hughes gets the nod
Jones-Hughes impressed when he made his debut last Friday
Jason Jones-Hughes will make his first start for Wales when they clash with Japan at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
He replaces Gareth Thomas, who is on the bench after starting last week's Pool D victory, while Allan Bateman replaces Dafydd James on the left-wing.
The injury means he could miss out, and, if he is unavailable, Geraint Lewis will play at number eight with Martyn Williams at flanker.
If Quinnell does line up, Williams will be among the replacements, and Lewis will be a straight substitute for Colin Charvis who is suspended for 14 days for punching.
Coach Graham Henry said: "We have kept the spine of the team who played against Argentina.
"A decision on the fitness of Scott Quinnell will be made later in the week, but we are confident he will be fit to play.
"Wings Gareth Thomas and Dafydd James both played well, but we obviously need to give Allan Bateman and Jason Jones-Hughes their chances.
"Both are fine attackers, and we have to attack the Japanese.
"Mike Voyle has played well in recent internationals, and this is a chance to rest Chris Wyatt and for him to prepare himself for future matches."
