Gavin Henson is in line for his Cardiff Blues debut tonight in a local derby against Newport Gwent Dragons in the RaboDirect Pro 12.
Watch the RaboDirect Pro 12 Rugby at S4C on Friday, December 23 at 1935 GMT.
Wales international Henson comes into the side in place of the injured Chris Czekaj. Dafydd Hewitt takes over from Jamie Roberts at centre while Leigh Halfpenny and Alex Cuthbert are on the wings.
Aled Brew has recovered from a dead leg to remain on the wing for the Dragons, while the visitors include Lewis Robling at centre, with Anitelea Tuilagi dropping to the bench.
Dragons coach Darren Edwards is looking forward to this clash, he said: “[You] couldn't get a better next fixture. Really looking forward to going down there.
"It's important we play well on Friday.
"The last time we played them we had a strategy and a game plan that worked on the day and we won that game well.
"I don't see no reason why we shouldn't be confident in actually delivering that once more.
"We want to make statements in Wales amongst each other as regions. I think that's very healthy for the Welsh game."
These two have not met this season after their game at Rodney Parade was postponed in November because of a waterlogged pitch.
The Dragons beat the Blues 28-16 when the sides last met in the league last season and Edwards wants a repeat performance.
