Confidence may be high after their win over Ulster last time out but Cardiff Blues head coach Danny Wilson knows his side face a whole new challenge in GUINESS PRO12 champions Glasgow Warriors on Sunday.

The Blues boosted their top-six aspirations last weekend when they saw off Ulster 23-13 at BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park.

However, they will also need to improve on the road, having only managed one victory in their last 13 away games – that coming against Newport Gwent Dragons on December 27.

Glasgow, meanwhile, have lost just one ‘home game’ in the GUINNESS PRO12 since round 1: 11-14 to Edinburgh, played at BT Murrayfield on January 2.

And while the Blues have not been victorious in Scotland since April 2014, Wilson believes it will be a chance for his young team to show what they can do.

"The last league game with Ulster was a very important win for us and the manner in which we did it was pleasing," he said.

"The effort and commitment from the players at home shone through again and it is something we need to build on away from home. Hopefully we can still challenge for a higher league position now.

"The boys have trained well and there is a really good feel to us. The Ulster win has built confidence, but we are under no illusions as to how tough this away fixture is.

"We are going to one of the best attacking teams out there and the league champions.

"Playing them at their place is going to be tough, but it's a great experience for a young squad and a real test for us."

For the Blues, fly-half Jarrod Evans returns to the starting line-up in one of a handful of changes – Rhys Patchell moving to full back with Dan Fish operating on the wing.

Loosehead prop Thomas Davies is also called up, with back row Josh Turnball released from Wales duty although hooker Kristian Dacey and Brad Thyer miss out through injury.

Wales Under-20 international front row Corey Domachowski and international team-mate Harri Millard could both make their senior debuts after being named among the replacements.

Glasgow Warriors will be looking to maintain their recent good form having only lost once in their last four GUINNESS PRO12 matches.

It is set to be a milestone game for Henry Pyrgos with the captain returning from injury for his 100th appearance.
Mark Bennett and Tim Swinson will also start after playing for Scotland last weekend while Peter Murchie – who also reached a century of Warriors appearances last week – starts at full-back again with Rory Hughes and Lee Jones on the wings.

Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend said: “We are really looking forward to making our return to Scotstoun on Sunday. We’ve missed playing at our home ground, but we’ve picked up two good wins recently and the players can’t wait to get out on the pitch in front of a big crowd.

“Cardiff Blues are a well coached team who are organised in defence and innovative in attack. We will have to play very well to continue our winning run."

“It’s great to welcome back Henry Pyrgos, who has been stuck on 99 caps since playing so well in last year’s Pro12 final. To have him coming back into the selection mix with so much rugby still left to play is a real boost for the squad.”
