CARDIFF'S injury problems continue to mount with Wales wing Josh Adams ruled out of tonight's United Rugby Championship clash against Connacht.

Cardiff's game with Connacht tonight

The 30-year-old, who scored a try in the 23-20 defeat at Munster last weekend, will sit out the game at the Arms Park (7.45pm).

The loss of Adams is another back-line blow to a Cardiff side already without suspended Wales centre Ben Thomas and injured trio Mason Grady, Rory Jennings and Elijah Evans.

Cardiff make four changes to the side that left Limerick with a pair of consolation bonus points.

Jacob Beetham moves to the wing to replace Adams with Cam Winnett back from injury to start at fullback, while centre Steffan Emanuel partners Harri Millard in midfield.

Tight-head prop Kieron Assiratti and blindside flanker Ben Donnell come into the pack, while lock or back-row forward George Nott could make a debut off the bench after his summer move from Dragons.
