The Blues challenge to remain top of the Magners league continues this Saturday when they face the Llanelli Scarlets, 5.30pm kick off, at Stradey Park in what is sure to be another hotly contested Welsh derby.
Undefeated in their last six Magners League games, and securing a bonus point win against the Newport Gwent Dragons on Tuesday night, the Cardiff Blues know they must win the match on Saturday if they are to keep their league title aspirations alive.
