Cardiff clash a must-win for Munster

INJURY-HIT Cardiff still hope to spring a Celtic League surprise on Munster at the Arms Park this evening (5.30).

Blues coach David Young believes his side can take the wind out of Munster's sails on foot of the news of the consolidation of the squad for next season.

"I'm delighted to report that all of the guys I want for next season have agreed to extend their contracts. A number of our top players had already signed but a bonus is the agreement we reached earlier this week with Kort Schubert, Gareth Williams, Dean Dewdney and Robin Sowden-Taylor. That's really good news for the club at a time when we have a number of players on the injured list."
