Cardiff bring down the curtain on their season tonight when they go in search of a third straight win as they take on Benetton out in Treviso.
There’s a fresh-faced look to their outside backs, who have an average age of just 21, with teenage full back Cameron Winnett making his United Rugby Championship debut. He’s joined by fellow youngsters Theo Cabango, Mason Grady and Max Llewellyn behind the scrum.
With Liam Belcher having been banned for three games following his red card in last weekend’s victory over the Dragons, Kristian Dacey comes in at hooker, while Ellis Jenkins captains the side from the openside flank as Josh Navidi is rested.
