Cardiff play their first United Rugby Championship match against South African opposition as the Bulls of Pretoria arrive at the Arms Park.
Dai Young’s men welcome back Wales star Josh Navidi following his post-Lions tour break, as they show five changes from last week’s 18-14 defeat to the Ospreys.
Joining blindside Navidi in coming into the side are fellow flanker Will Boyde, Moldovan prop Dmitri Arhip, centre Ben Thomas and scrum-half Lloyd Williams.
The Bulls, who have lost their opening two URC fixtures, feature the likes of Springboks Bismarck du Plessis, Marcell Coetzee, Cornal Hendricks and Johan Goosen in their line-up.
The match is being shown live on S4C and Premier Sports, but if you can’t get in front of a TV you can follow all the action via our live blog.
