Figure image
Cardiff Blues have made one change from the line-up that started the EDF Energy Cup Final for Sunday's Heineken Cup semi-final against Leicester Tigers at the Millennium Stadium.

Head coach David Young brings in Richie Rees to start at scrum-half following injury to Jason Spice in the cup final win over Gloucester. Darren Allinson takes the place of Rees on the bench.

The Blues side includes British & Irish Lions squad members Leigh Halfpenny, Tom Shanklin, Jamie Roberts, Gethin Jenkins and Martyn Williams, while Andy Powell is among the replacements.
