Sam Warburton will miss Cardiff Blues‘ Heineken Cup clash with Montpellier this afternoon after withdrawing from the game early today.
The Wales captain has been suffering with a chest infection and will sit out the game on medical advice. Josh Navidi will fill Warburton’s No.7 shirt, with Robin Copeland taking over the blindside role and Luke Hamilton on the bench.
Warburton’s absence is the latest blow to hit the Blues who are also without Jamie Roberts, Leigh Halfpenny, Bradley Davies, Michael Paterson, Dan Fish, Andi Kyriacou and Tom James for the Pool Six clash.
