Dai Young has named his squad to play Edinbough on Saturday. The team shows 3 changes to the side that beat the Scarlets in the midweek match, with rotational and injury reasons in mind.

In the pack, hooker Rhys Thomas is replaced by Gareth Williams while man of the match Andy Powell stays at Number 8.

Ryan Powell comes in for Mike Phillips who takes a spot on the bench, while Lee THomas replaces the injured Tristan Davies.

On the bench, highly-touted youngster Jamie Roberts hopes to make his first League apperance after scoring two tries against Ponty in a pre-season friendly.

Dai's decision to make 3 changes is certainly an odd one, with Phillips especially on such good form and all off the back of a great win, but hopefully the replacements will rise to the challeneg and keep the Blues at the right end of the table with a first away win since Connact last season.

Team:
N Macleod; C Czekaj, R Williams (capt), L Thomas, C Morgan; N Robinson, R Powell; J Yapp, G Williams, B Evans, D Jones, R Sidoli, M Molitika, R Sowden-Taylor, A Powell.

N Llewellyn, T Rhys Thomas, C Quinnell, M Lewis, M Phillips, M Nutthall, J Roberts.
