I am looking forward to watching this one.  Going to be interesting to see how the Welsh under 20 internationals are developing such as Williams, Belcher, Davies and Lewis-Hughes.  Also looking forward to seeing Owen Lane, who burst onto the scene last season as a 17 year old and looked a real hot prospect, but has suffered a few injuries recently. Also, Kieron Assiratti, can he be another young prop who can be a genuine option for the Cardiff Blues? Salesi Ma'afu seems to be out of the picture, so is an opening there potentially for someone.

Looking forward also to watching Aled Summerhill playing at outside centre, a position many thinks is his best position, can Summerhill push Cory Allen for a starting spot for the professional team with a strong performance?  Also, James Sheeky, a player I have seen a few times and has always impressed me, can he put together a string of good performances, and give Cardiff Blues an additional option in the number 8 shirt? 

Hopefully there is a decent crowd in attendance, entry is free for all spectators, but there will be a bucket collection in aid of #StayStrongForOws, please donate generously.
