The Blues have made six changes to the team that lost to the Ospreys as they aim to finish the home season on a high.
In the backs the Blues welcome back Ben Blair who replaces Leigh Halfpenny who is out with a shoulder injury while at Centre, Casey Laulala replaces Gavin Evans who moves to the bench. There is one other change with Tom James replacing Harry Robinson.
In the back-row Maama Molitika replaces Michael Paterson who is out with a shoulder injury. There are two changes in the front row with Scott Andrews returning from a knee injury and Gethin Jenkins from a shoulder injury. The pair replace John Yapp and Sam Hobbs, who both move to the bench.
Speaking ahead of the match Cardiff Blues Forwards Coach, Justin Burnell, said:
“The last home game of the season can sometimes be a bittersweet occasion and I feel this will certainly be the case on Sunday.”
“We will be saying goodbye to a number of fantastic players who have served Cardiff Blues with distinction and I would like to thank them all for the commitment they have shown to the team.”
“Despite a number of players moving on, they will remain professional in their approach and like any other game, they will be determined to go out and give a good performance.”
“They are well aware this is their last game at home in a Blues shirt so their total focus is to do the fans proud and get the win for them.”
