Cardiff Blues v Toulon preview

Cardiff Blues flanker Sam Warburton has been passed fit for Sunday's Heineken Cup clash at home to Toulon (kick-off 12.45pm).

The Wales captain was forced off just five minutes into the opening round loss to Sale Sharks after he badly dislocated a finger.

Warburton, though, will appear in an unchanged line-up, with Jamie Roberts also declared fit despite a heavy hit to the ribs in last week's game.

Toulon have made five changes to their line-up - including recalling former Cardiff prop Gethin Jenkins.

Jenkins, who moved from the Blues to Toulon in the summer, joins Mickael Ivaldi and Davit Kubriashvili in a new-look front row, with Juan Fernandez Lobbe also starting in the No 6 jersey.

The sole change in the back division sees Mathieu Bastareaud promoted to the starting XV ahead of the benched Maxime Mermoz.

Jean-Charles Orioli also comes into the squad to provide cover to hooker Ivaldi.
