Confirmed coach for at least next season, Dai Young, has announced his side for Leinster at teh Millenium Stadium on Sunday.

He names an unchanged 15 from the side that lost, albeit with a very good performance, to Ulster last weekend.

Xavier Rush is still in search of his first win as Cardiff captain, the number 8 is taking the arm band for the fourth time on Sunday, but is yet to lead the side to a victory, a fact he will be trying desperately to change.

About Sundays game, Xav said,

"I've only ever watched a game at the Millennium Stadium and that was Wales versus the All Blacks just before Christmas. The atmosphere there was probably the best I've ever experienced at a rugby match. The way the guys have been playing and the way Leinster play I think it'll be a cracking game of rugby."

In-form centre, Marc Strchebina added,

"I'm looking forward to the game as I've never played in the Millennium Stadium. The first match I saw there was the 1999 World Cup final where the unbeatable Australian team won the World Cup for the second time. It's a fantastic venue and a big game for us and hopefully all the crowd and supporters will get behind us."

Rhys Williams is still out with a hamstring injury, though he should feature in Ireland against Munster. Instead, Nick Macleod continues at full back, a position where he has excelled in the last two games, earning two Man of The Match awards from this site.

The only changes are to the bench where Konica Minolta Cup winners Matthew Nuthall and Scott Roberts are rewarded with regional spote, and Martyn Williams recovers to take Mark Lewis' spot on the bench.

Ticket sales for the match have reportedly reached 9,000, just 1,500 off the all-time Celtic League record, set by Ulster in 2002.

Blues: Nick Macleod; Chris Czekaj, Jamie Robinson, Marc Stcherbina, Craig Morgan; Nick Robinson, Mike Phillips; John Yapp, Rhys Thomas, Gethin Jenkins, Deiniol Jones, Rob Sidoli, Maama Molitika, Robin Sowden-Taylor, Xavier Rush (capt).

Scott Roberts, Duane Goodfield, Kort Schubert, Martyn Williams, Ryan Powell, Tristan Davies, Matthew Nuthall
