Flanagan wins

CARDIFF Blues boss Dai Young has resisted the temptation to throw Nicky Robinson into the Toulouse cauldron on Sunday with Dai Flanagan starting the Heineken Cup quarter-finals.

Robinson, who only returned to action last weekend after four months out with a hip injury, remains on the replacements bench in an unchanged side from the team who defeated Edinburgh at Murrayfield last Friday.

The only change in the 22 is Jamie Robinson who comes onto the bench in place of Marc Stcherbina.

Cardiff Blues: B Blair; J Roberts, T Shanklin, G Thomas, T James; D Flanagan, J Spice; G Jenkins, G Williams, T Filise, D Jones, P Tito, M Molitika, M Williams, X Rush (c). Reps: J Yapp, R Thomas, S Morgan, B White, R Rees, N Robinson, J Robinson.
