The Blues have brought back in Halfpenny, Roberts and Bradley Davies, with Sweeney recalled at 10 and Henson covering that position on the bench. Interesting- Could this mean they won't be using Parks next week vs Leinster? It's a pretty good backline if they can make it click.

They should have been playing Henson at 10 or at least trying him off the bench there during the six nations (when he's been fit). Parks and Sweeney are so **** it's ridiculous.

Just so everyone's clear heres the list of

Players unavailable for selection:
Michael Paterson - neck/shoulder
Gethin Jenkins - shoulder.
Sam Warburton - shoulder
T Rhys Thomas - neck
Martyn Williams - ribs
Paul ***o - head
Richard Mustoe - hip
Fau Filise - shoulder
Andries Pretorius - knee
Deiniol Jones - shoulders​

plus they are both leaving at the end of the season

dissapointed not to see parks in the team from a scottish perspective. we know exactly what the game plan would be other wise kick kick kick kick kick kick kick

 

[Robert Prosser]

Glad to see PArks dropped as he was pants the last game we had, good to see Bradley Davies, Roberts and Halfers back in the team, apart form that I dont understand why they dont give Henson a centre spot alongside Roberts who stick him in at 10 it would be impossible for him to be worse than PArks or Sweeney so any improvement is welcome.

Just heard that Rush has pulled out because his partner is giving birth. So Cook goes to 6 and Molitika to 8 :lol:. With Yapp, Tyrell and Andrews as front row, this has got to be one of the worst Blues packs i've seen in a pro 12 match.

That is quite poor. There must be another 8 in the Blues region that's worth developing? Their reliance on Rush is ridiculous. Gonna be up to their impressive backs (save for Sweeney) to win them this match I feel.

Andries Pretorius is out and the Blues are possibly looking at Ellis Jenkins or Dan Crimmins for next season.

What do you mean by 'out' Cymro?

Injured.

B&B already against Hamilton and Sheppeard?

Hamilton being moulded for Second Row / Flanker and well Sheppeard is off the radar and is with Ponty. Sheppeard is the man the Blues need to blood through.

 

[dullonien]

Injured.

Do you mean he's gonna be out for an extended period of time?

I was just checking that you didn't mean he was being released or something.

Yes correct Dull.

The Blues have enough little second rows. I quite liked the look of Luke at 8 last year.
If they want to go 'abroad', Ben Thomas at Bridgend. Competed for the 8 shirt last year with Luke, big lad. Playing 4 and 6 right now.

Last I heard was Pretorius back by March, just around the beginning of the year. Must have changed, eh?

Ponty have a good standoff, Lewis Williams. Considering Sweeney and Park are off, Tovey is up and down, and Patchell still a young lad.
I'll take him with us!

 

[retardedgenius]

see you welsh people love parks as much as the people from the north then!!

 

[TRF_Cymro]

George Clancy = World Class Referee <_<

Be nice if Laulala gets the ball.

 

[welshglory]

Absolutely pitiful performance by the Blues tonight. They're screwed next year when they lose Gethin and Laulala

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Burnell and Baber out!
