In a team that shows seven starting line-up changes from last week’s league game, back into the side comes the experience of Matthew Bolton (as captain) and Keith Stewart, the latter after injury. They are joined in the pack by the young talent of Wales U20 Captain Sam Warbuton, Wales U20 prop Scott Andrews and Blues Academy hooker Huw Dowden.
Nick Kelly reverts to the back row from the second row. In the backs Harry Trelawny replaces Garyn Lucas at scrum-half and top try-scorer Jamie Jones returns to the wing after missing last week’s game.
