Robinson has been deemed fit enough for a bench spot for Friday's match, and is likely to get around 25 minutes at the end of the game. Should he come through that unscathed, he is highly likely to start the Toulouse game, following 5 months out with a torn hip muscle.

And there's more good news as explosive winger, Tom James, returns to the starting line up for the first time since the loss to Leinster on the 16^th February. James, who's scored 7 tries in 11 appearances so far this season, resumes one wing following an operation to remove his appendix.

Elsewhere, Grand Slam stars, Gethin Jenkins, Martyn Williams and Tom Shanklin also return to the starting XV, as Dai Young names a side that is likely to only feature 1 change for the following weekend (Robinson in at fly half if fit).

Marc Stcherbina, who returned last week, is again on the bench, while fellow returnee Dai Flanagan starts at 10. Nick Macleod and Jamie Robinson are both dropped for the squad after coming under severe criticism following the 35-17 loss at Strady.

Young will be hoping not to lose any more players ahead of the Toulouse match, having seen Robin Sowden-Taylor limp off after an illegal tackle by Decon Manu, who is now being cited. RST is having an x-ray on Thursday to see whether he requires surgery.

Ben Blair; Jamie Roberts, Tom Shanklin, Gareth Thomas, Tom James; Dai Flanagan, Jason Spice; Gethin Jenkins, Gareth Williams, Taufa'ao Filise, Deiniol Jones, Paul Tito, Maama Molitika, Martyn Williams, Xavier Rush (capt).
