Ten changes to Cardiff team to face Leinster

Cardiff coach David Young has selected a team that shows 10 changes to the side that faced Ospreys on Wednesday ahead of Friday night’s game with Leinster in Dublin.

Numerous injuries in that match forced major changes - Ben Blair play his first game for the Blues and new signing from Canada Ed Fairhurst’s also set to take his place on the bench.

Fairhurst has signed from the University of Victoria in British Columbia. The 27 year old has won 32 caps for Canada and featured in Canada’s recent 56 to 7 victory over the United States in a World Cup Qualifier.
