Jonah Lomu will make his home debut in Cardiff Blues' Heineken Cup clash against Calvisano on Saturday.
New Zealand superstar Lomu lines up in a familiar left-wing role, having played for 60 minutes during Blues' 25-10 Pool Two away victory over the Italians last weekend.
 
The Blues expect a capacity crowd to witness Lomu's Arms Park bow and coach David Young has made three changes, handing Wales and Lions prop Gethin Jenkins a first start of the campaign after recovering from shoulder surgery, while wing Craig Morgan and centre Jamie Robinson also feature.

Cardiff Blues side: Rhys Williams (c), Craig Morgan, Jamie Robinson, Marc Stcherbina, Jonah Lomu, Nicky Robinson, Mike Phillips, Xavier Rush, Martyn Williams, Andy Powell, Robert Sidoli, Deiniol Jones, Martin Jones, Rhys Thomas, Gethin Jenkins

Ben Evans, Duane Goodfield, Craig Quinnell, Robin Sowden-Taylor, Ryan Powell, Lee Thomas, Tristan Davies
