Cardiff's unbeaten start to the United Rugby Championship season faces its sternest test tonight as the Welsh club take on defending champions Leinster in Dublin.
Team news and changes
Corniel van Zyl has made seven changes from the side that beat Zebre last week, with Wales legend Taulupe Faletau making his first start of the season at No 8 while Aled Davies starts at scrum-half.
Four of the changes come in the pack, with Danny Southworth making his first appearance of the season and Liam Belcher returning to captain the team. The second-row remains unchanged, while Dan Thomas is back on the openside flank and Faletau makes his first appearance since March.
