Ulster hope to give Rush an early taste

XAVIER RUSH is keen to show his new employers that it will be money well spent when the Kiwi packs down for his 100th competitive game for the Blues when they take on Ulster in the Magners League at the Cardiff City Stadium tonight.

The 32-year-old former All Black number eight is due to link up with Ulster next season on a two-year deal, and he says it will feel strange running out to face them.

“It’s going to be a bit of different occasion for me playing against Ulster, that’s for sure,” said Rush, who has been with Cardiff for five seasons.
