The Cardiff Blues side to face the Border Reivers tomorrow shows one change from the starting XV that defeated the Llanelli Scarlets on New Years Day.
The backs are unchanged and in the forwards Ben White comes in at blindside flanker. There is also a positional change with Scott Morgan moving to second row in place of the injured Bradley Davies.
There are four changes in the subs with youngsters James Down, Adam Powell and Scot Roberts all featuring.
Commenting on the selection David Young said. Tom Shanklin is still struggling with a thigh strain. We hope to nurse him through but he may be a doubt for next week also but thats where we are regards to this season. Taufaao Filise has also had a scan and he may also be a doubt for next week.
