Nick Robinson takes over in the number 10 shirt in the Blues team to play Biarritz Olympique in the Heineken Cup match at Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday (2.30pm)
The 22-year-old fly-half has featured in 12 of the teams 16 matches so far this season and regains his place in the starting line-up after scoring the final try in last weeks Heineken Cup clash against the French outfit.
Iestyn Harris suffered a back injury in the opening minute at Biarritz but bravely played on for the full 80 minutes of a match where the Blues competed throughout.
The only other change in the 22-man squad on duty for this weeks return match sees Matt Allen fill the vacancy on the replacements bench. The centre earned plaudits for his captaincy of the Cardiff team in the Premier Division victory over Pontypool last weekend.
Head coach David Young said,
We have been improving week-by-week in the Heineken Cup and have come closer than most people give us credit for to reaching this stage of the pool matches with perhaps two wins under our belt.
But we learn from our experiences and now we must continue to think positively and go all out for an important win on Saturday.
