| Ben White and Ed Fairhurst will make their first start for the Cardiff Blues this season as they take on Ulster this Saturday in Belfast. |
The team shows eight changes from the starting XV that defeated Saracens in last weekend’s EDF Cup match.
Ben Blair has had an injection in his knee and should be back in full training in three days while Xavier Rush has tweaked his groin and may not be fit for next weeks match against Bourgoin. Rhys Thomas is rested.
