David Young has named the following 27 man squad ahead of the Ulster v Cardiff Blues match on Saturday 3 April, 7.30pm kick off, at Ravenhill.
Following last Friday's 19 point to 9 win over Ulster, Cardiff Blues have won their last six fixtures against Ulster, since the Ulstermen gained a 32-12 victory at Ravenhill on 14 October 2006.
A Maama Molitika try separated the two teams in a match that never really came to life last weekend and the Blues know that the Ulstermen will be a different proposition at home. However, they can take heart from the fact they have been victorious in their last three away matches in all competitions whilst Ulster are winless in their last three matches since beating Bath 28-10 at The Rec in the European Cup in January.
Cardiff Blues Director of Rugby, David Young, has selected the following 27 man squad which sees the return of John Yapp, who tore his bicep while playing against Harlequins on the 10th of October.
