Tito: impressed by Glasgow
Following their win over the Scarlets last weekend the Cardiff Blues welcome Glasgow Warriors to the Cardiff City Stadium this Saturday, 6.30pm kick off.
The Warriors have had a mixed start to the season, beating Munster and Scarlets, but recorded losses against the Dragons and the Ospreys in the opening matches of this season’s Magners League campaign.
Speaking ahead of the match Cardiff Blues Captain Paul Tito said,
“I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen of Glasgow this season. I watched their match against the Ospreys last week and they scored a nice try and looked very dangerous.”
Gareth Delve
Gareth Delve of Gloucester Rugby has appealed against his three week ban for striking London Irish’s George Stowers during the Guinness Premiership match at the Madejski Stadium on September 13, 2009.
The appeal will be heard by the RFU Disciplinary Officer Jeff Blackett at the offices of the Judge Advocate General, Chancery Lane on Monday, September 28 (3pm).
Roberts returns for Blues
The 2009 British and Irish Lions man of the series, Jamie Roberts, returns to the Cardiff Blues side to face Connacht this Friday, 7.00pm kick off at the Sportsground, Galway.
Speaking ahead of the match Cardiff Blues Director of Rugby David Young said,
“I think our performance against Munster was far more spirited and far more together than our match against Edinburgh, where we looked totally disjointed.”
“Having said that, our primary possession especially in the line out just wasn’t good enough and also our play in the contact area needs to improve.”
“These are two massive issues that we have to address. We find it difficult to get into our game at the minute because we are not winning quality ball and when we do win it we are not holding on to it.”
