DECLAN Kidney has named a 27-strong squad from which the side will be selected for the Celtic League game against the Cardiff Blues at The Arms Park tomorrow (7.30pm).

LEINSTER will be aiming to rediscover their winning touch against Cardiff Blues at the RDS today (5.30pm), just a week before they open another Heineken Cup campaign at the same venue.

Ulster coach Mark McCall has gone for Kieran Campbell instead of Neil Doak to provide the link between his forwards and David Humphreys in the Heineken Cup Pool 6 opener at home to Cardiff Blues tomorrow night.

Munster 49 Cardiff Blues 18

APRIL 30, 2004 was a sad and ignominious day in the history of Munster rugby. That was the date when an understrength side from the province crashed 60-14 to their Cardiff hosts at the Arms Park.

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.

Former international centre Mark McCall continued his successful start as Ireland U21 coach as his side handed Grand Slam holders Wales their first defeat in the Six Nations U21 championship for over two years at the Sportsground in Galway.
