Cardiff Blues Under-18s face a trip to the East Midlands in England when they face Leicester Tigers Under-18s at The Oval on Sunday (kick-off 1pm).

Blues Under-18s are currently riding high at the top of the Regional Championship and are unbeaten at the halfway stage of the competition.

The team now faces an away day to the Tigers as they look to keep that record going and make a number of changes to the side that defeated Scarlets recently at BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park.

Ellis Wyn Benham comes in on the wing while Carl Lewis is named at scrum half.

Props Rhys Carre and Joel Ringer start in the pack while Owen Jones and Joe Gaughan are given a chance to shine in the back row.

Cardiff Blues Under-18s: 15 Curtis Povey, 14 Teri Morgan Gee, 13 Owen Lane, 12 Declan Williams, 11 Ellis Wyn Benham, 10 Callum Hall, 9 Carl Lewis; 1 Rhys Carre, 2 Gerwyn Coleman, 3 Joel Ringer, 4 Callum Haggett (c), 5 Callum Bradbury, 6 Owen Jones, 7 Morgan Sieniawski, 8 Joe Gaughan
