Cardiff without Quinnell for Connacht tie

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.

There are four changes in all from their first day defeat. Dan McShane replaces Quinnell and tight head Ben Evans, blindside Rob Appleyard and number eight James Malpas all come into the pack.
