A back row of open sides and Nipper at fullback, is there an expectation of a wide open game?

Big game this for Cardiff. Fingers crossed they can continue their good form, 3 from 3 would be a huge step in the right direction and hopefully fill some empty seats.

Gutted that I can't go to this - and it's not on telly! The one bloody time it's not televised...
Should be a cracker and there's a bit of excitement growing about the boys this year - if we can win this, it will be a great great start to the season for us.
Glasgow are such a good team though - difficult to call

Looks like a strong Cardiff team. How has Morgan gone so far this season?

I've not seen much of him but tbf his first touch of the ball (after coming off the bench) last week was perfect. Fielded a kick as FB, drew and sped around the Munster defender (in turn drawing a second) before offloading to Lee-Lo. The try was finished beautifully by a few players but it ws started by Morgan.

Nobody can deny that he has the potential to cause chaos. His defence will be tested though

Wish it was on TV. Always enjoy seeing a small player do well and from the little I've seen of him he has loads of talent though maybe not an obvious position

He'll learn a thing or two as Fish's understudy

Who to be fair has been playing well himself from what I've seen.

Still a huge task to beat the best team in the league but will be a good test of how far the side has come under DW and whether the weird optimism is founded

Fantastic effort and great win for the Blues.

The Scarlets need a miracle.

Huge win and still lots to improve on. Gifted 14 points in the first half to Glasgow. Great atmosphere. Over 8k there too which is nearly double the Edinburgh game.

Great result, Danny Wilson is really starting to get Cardiff playing as a team. Could do with picking up another quality second row to add to the squad.

Yes. I've been impressed with Earle and Cook. There is Downes and Hoeata but they need to bin maafu and bring in an NPC nWq lock

That's the problem you have 4 decent quality locks, but could really do with one stand out one amongst them.

Great result, shame they only showed highlights. 3 from 3 for the Blues, this is great to see.

The Scarlets' forwards are really letting the backs down. Although the backs were hardly error free...

Great result for the Blues - sounds like Tom James is in a rich vein of form
Pleased to see that we seem to have a bit of depth to our squad as well - a real mix of experience and promising youngsters (especially in the front row). If we can keep up this form, we SHOULD comfortably win away at Zebre next week and could have 4 from 4!

As for the Scarlets, things are looking worrying. I only saw a glimpse of the game but caught one god awful moment where Jake Ball was in at scrum half and passed to Scott Williams who was looking completely the other way. Amateurish!

To given their defence credit, the amount of pressure Ulster were exerting would normally result in more tries conceded. Much of the first half was one way traffic.
