Darren Morris, formerly of Swansea, Leicester, Wales and Worcester, has joined up with the Cardiff Blues on a 6 month contract.



A useful signing for the Blues who need the propping cover – surprised to see that the Ospreys didn’t get him though, would have thought they needed him with Adam’s injury.


Will be very interesting to see how Darren Morris does at the Leckwith this season

Dafydd James is a Cardiff Blues, Welsh rugby and British Lions player. A Welsh rugby legend he is also the top scorer in the heineken cup.


Of course such a legend of Welsh rugby deserves his own profile on the Welsh rugby blog!

Cardiff Blues have come in and signed former Welsh international and British Lions Dafydd James and All Black international Casey Lualua.


Good signings in my opinion, and ones desperately needed after Jame Robinson leaving for France and Welsh rugby international Tom Shanklin being out injured for the first part of the season.


But I think more is needed, read the article to see why.

Peter Thomas promised Cardiff Blues fans that he would be bringing in top international stars to the capital city side. As yet they are yet to appear.


The Cardiff Blues are a Welsh Rugby region in desperate need of signings. They have all the potential of a major regional power, able to take on all comers. But if investment isn’t forthcoming this potential could well be squandered.

This season has been far from the best from the point of view of Welsh rugby. In fact some may even suggest that it has been a big pile of pants after the promise of last season.


So I run a quick rule over how the season went and give a few positives and negatives that all the teams can take away from it


And some pants of course

Both sides have announced their teams for Wednesdays game.


None of the 5 remaining Cardiff Blues players (after Tom Shanklins injury) are in the squad, whilst the Scarlets name their two British Lions, Stephen Jones and Matthew Rees, on the bench.


To be honest both teams are fielding weak looking sides so I’m not expecting too much by way of intensity. But it will be interesting to see some of the players that have been named in the Welsh squad in action
