RUGBY:DAN FISH will play at fullback for the Blues when they take on the Dragons today (4.05pm) in a crucial Magners League match. Fish comes in at fullback with Chris Czekaj moving to the wing in place of Leigh Halfpenny who picked up an ankle injury in the recent win over Treviso.
Halfpenny is expected to miss the remaining matches of the regular season.
The Blues travel to Rodney Parade knowing that a victory would guarantee them a top four finish; deny Scarlets a play-off spot and end Ospreys hopes of retaining their title. Any other result would see the make up of the remaining three play-off places (Munster are already through) go down to the last round of games.
The Blues require a win by a margin of more than nine points and also need a try bonus point if they are to displace Leinster in second place in the league table going into the last round of fixtures.
CARDIFF BLUES: D Fish; C Czekaj, C Lualala, J Roberts, T James; D Parks, R Rees; J Yapp, G Williams, T Filise; B Davies, P Tito (capt); M Paterson, S Warburton/B White, X Rush.
DRAGONS: S Jones; A Hughes, T Riley, A Smith, A Brew; J Tovey, W Evans; P Price, L Burns, B Castle; L Charteris (capt), A Jones; D Lydiate, G Thomas, T Faletau.
