Cardiff Blues have made four changes from last weekend with half-backs Dean Dewdney and Nick McLeod given the responsibility of applying some control to their back play at home to Connacht.

TALENT is a trait that has rarely been questioned in Leinster. Mental toughness, on the other hand, has. Frequently.

Cardiff Blues will be without second row giant Craig Quinnell, sent-off for stamping against Glasgow, in their match-up with Connacht at The Arms Park on Saturday.

Connacht survived a second-half onslaught and escaped with a one-point victory for the second time in this season¹s Celtic League against Cardiff in the Sportsground last night.
