“We’ve got a big block of games ahead of us, including three Welsh derbies,” he said. “Our performances have to reflect that. We can’t just turn up next season and hope to be performing to a level, we need to set the standards now.”
Davies also highlighted the added edge brought by Cardiff’s strong campaign.
“Cardiff are obviously fighting hard in the play-off zone and have had a good season; they will be desperate for that victory,” he said.
With both teams fully aware of the stakes, the derby promises to test physicality, execution and composure throughout.
