Willis Halaholo, will make his debut for the Blue and Blacks as he makes a long-awaited return after sitting on the sidelines for weeks. The New Zealand-born has been at Cardiff Rugby for almost 7 years, after making his debut for the club back in 2016. Halahalo later went on to achieve 10 Caps for Wales and almost 100 club appearances for the regional side.
Along with Halaholo, Head Coach Steve Law has made five other changes to the starting XV that faced Llandovery last time out with Captain Morgan Allen making his 100th appearance for the club.
Alun Rees and Adam Williams come into the front row, and Sean Moore after playing at eight at Church Bank drops into the second row alongside Ethan Phillips.
Joining Tom Habberfield in the halfbacks is debutant Hari Wilde who replaces Harrison James at 10.
Law has made two other changes within the backline Jason Harries comes in on the wing after a spell out of the squad due to injury.
The last time Cardiff met the Welsh All Blacks was back in the 2018-19 season when Cardiff recorded 2 bonus point wins 59-17 away and 74-7 at home,that season the Blue and Blacks finished second and Neath were relegated.
The Visitors, have yet to pick up a win this season after just narrowly missing out on a win against Pontypridd and sit just above RGC 1404 on 1 point.
Head coach Patrick Horgan has yet to release his side to face the Blue and Blacks at the time of writing.
Remember Saturday’s match will kick off at 13:30 local time due to Wales playing Argentina later on in the afternoon in the World Cup Quarter Finals.
