Dai young has named his Cardiff Blues side to take on Ulster in the Magners League this weekend, and it includes a number of returning Welsh Internationals, straight off the back of Wales’ 6 Nations campaign.
The likes of Halfpenny and Tom James are likely to be looking to prove a point when it comes to the Welsh spot, with the tour to New Zealand coming up, and no doubt Richie Rees would like to start putting in some performances to keep his stock high with the Welsh management.
But of course it is Cardiff’s result that matters, with the competition amongst the Welsh regions for the 3 Heineken cup places hotting up. They will be desperate to put some breathing space between them and the Llanelli Scarlets and make sure they are in Europe’s top competition next season.
Blues: B Blair; L Halfpenny, C Laulala, T Shanklin, T James; C Sweeney, R Rees; G Jenkins, R Thomas, T Filise, S Morgan, P Tito (capt), A Powell, X Rush, M Williams.
Replacements: R Williams, S Andrews, A Pretorius, M Molitika, G Cooper, S Norton Knight/D Flanagan, Dafydd Hewitt.
