“We have had a productive week of training, the boys are looking sharp, focused, and eager to get back out there,” Lancaster said. “Mentally we reset and focused on this game once we heard the Scarlets game was postponed.
“My personal experience playing against Cardiff, home or away, it’s never easy. They are well-organized and coached and, as we all know, play a great brand of rugby, so it should make for a fantastic game on Saturday night.”
