Blues v Leinster: Teams

Cardiff Blues boss Dai Young has insisted every point is important ahead of his side's clash with Leinster.

The Blues has struggled for consistency in the Magners League this season and need a good run of results to make sure of their place in the Heineken Cup.

And Young, who has recalled Scott Morgan and Sam Warburton to his pack, knows his side must finding the winning formula quickly.

"With only a few games left in the league and important qualification for the Heineken Cup at stake, every point is important for us," he admitted.

"Obviously we were all pleased with our last league performance and result with our win up in Glasgow.

"We completely dominated the game and with 10 minutes left we were 30-0 up, having scored three tries.

"Our record against Glasgow has not been brilliant, having not won there since 2005, so perhaps it is greedy to have wanted a bonus point."

Leinster welcome back Ireland internationals Shane Jennings and Eoin Reddan for the match.

Jennings forms a back-row unit which includes Kevin McLaughlin and Stephen Keogh, with Malcolm O'Kelly locking down alongside Devin Toner.

CJ van der Linde starts at tighthead prop in a front-row which includes Bernard Jackman and Stan Wright.

Reddan partners Shaun Berne at half-back, with Isa Nacewa named on the left wing in a back-three alongside the experienced Girvan Dempsey and 18-year-old Andrew Conway.

Ireland U20 captain Rhys Ruddock is named amongst the replacements alongside the likes of Ireland internationals Trevor Hogan and Mike Ross.
