Cardiff host Ulster at the Arms Park this evening in what is a crucial clash in the context of the United Rugby Championship play-off race (7.35pm).Dai Young's side are a mere two points off the top eight, and a victory will catapult them into the play-off places, but they face a stern challenge against the Irish province who sit in fourth place.The Blue & Blacks have been boosted by the availability of Wales props Rhys Carre and Dillon Lewis, who both start, having been released from Warren Gatland's Six Nations squad in order to get some game time.Fellow Six Nations squad member Teddy Williams is named among the replacements, while centre Rey Lee-Lo will play his 150th match for the Welsh club.These are difficult times for the Arms Park club with Welsh Rugby Union interim chief executive Nigel Walker revealing the new wage cuts are far more acute at Cardiff than the other Welsh clubs.This is also Cardiff's final home game of the URC season, and is a game they can ill-afford to lose if they are to make the play-offs.Join us here at WalesOnline for all the live action from the Arms Park.
