Hello all, I am a new message poster to this site although I have been reading the thoughts of supporters for a couple of years. I am a Blues and Cardiff supporter of over 30 years having seen my first game during the Clubs Centenary Season.

I for one am happy to see some of the senior players return for the Quins game, not because I have any interest in the LV= cup, but these players need game time ready for some important ML Games coming up.

Why have we picked this side ? We are not going to qualify and even if we win we have to rely on other teams. We should continue sticking with the youngsters like we have from the start. I just do not understand picking Laulala, James, Sweeney, Tito etc.. for a dead wood game. Very strange.

WHATS DAI PLAYING AT.
LAST WEEK HE SHOULD HAVE PICKED LIKE THE OSPREYS YOUTH AND EXPERIENCE. ITS TO LATE NOW TO PICK HIS BEST PLAYERS, WHEN WE NO CHANCE OF QUALIFYING.
A TRIP TO COVENTRY AGAIN, WOULD HAVE BEEN BRILLIANT.

Are you Martyn Williams' number one fan or Martin Johnson's?

Agree that little if any chance of us going any further in LV but hopefully useful game time together for the team before the games that are now all we have left to play for this season, i.e. Magners.
