Following Saturdays victory over Connacht, it would appear that the Blues have 2 new injuries to add to their growing list.
Firstly, Rhys Williams' season looks certain to be over, the flying full back pulled a hamstring against the Irish province during a run up the wing. He was substituted for Lee Thomas instantly, and it now looks as though he will be out for 5-6 weeks meaning he will miss the remaining 3 games.
The other injury was to Craig Morgan. Fortunately, it looks less serious for Craig, who it's thought came off over a dead leg, which should be ok for the Ulster match, if not the Leinster game the following week.
These two names are added to a growing injury list, just as the season draws to a climatic end, with the Blues still in the hunt for the Celtic League title.
Jamie Robinson is still out, and might not feature again this year after an injury during the Borders match in which he scored twice. Andy Powell has a broken thumb and is out for the season. Jonah Lomu's Cardiff career is over, as is Craig Quinnell's and gareth Williams' as the trio were set to leave but are out for the remainder of the season. Also, hot prospect scrum half Wayne Evans is out for the remainder, having picked up an injury while with wales 7's squad.
However the good news for fans is that Nick Robinson didnt start on the weekend as he had a knock in training, but he will be fit and available for the Ulster trip, while Tom Shanklin is expected to feature at least once before the end of the season, with a bench spot possible for this weekend or the Leinster game a week later.
