Dai Young names his first side of 2007 ahead of the showdown derby between Cardiff and Llanelli.

An 11.00am pitch inspection has confirmed that the game WILL go ahead, and a quick phone call has confirmed that there ARE still tickets available.

 

Tom James makes his second start for the Blues, taking Ben Blair’s place on the wing, with the Kiwi moving to full back. That means Nick Macleod is relegated to the bench, following two starts at 15 against the Ospreys and Dragons.

 

Luvaitasau has recovered from his injury to join Macleod on the bench, and is joined back in the squad with Marc Strchbina, who comes in for the injured Tom Shanklin and Mike Phillips replaces Wayne Evans.

 

Cardiff Blues:
Ben Blair; Tom James, Jamie Robinson, Marc Stcherbina, Chris Czekaj; Nick Robinson, Mike Phillips; Gethin Jenkins, T Rhys Thomas, Gary Powell, Bradley Davies, Deiniol Jones, Scott Morgan, Rhys Shellard, Xavier Rush (capt).

John Yapp, Duane Goodfield, James Goode, Ben White, Ed Fairhurst, Mosese Luveitasau, Nick Macleod.
