Scott Andrews

How is his career progressing? What can we expect from him tomorrow?

To be demolished by Healy

So not a long term Wales prospect?

..and to answer the other question, his career is progressing well depending on how you look at it. He has a contract with the Blues and somehow has Wales caps to his name.

How he has either of that though I do not know. He is premiership standard at best and can't do anything on the rubgy pitch. If you aren't good enough then it's simple, you aren't good enough yet.

A hatrick of tries tomorrow and i think he'll kick the kicks too. Maybe the best player ever.

To be fair though he's pretty good around the park, but terrible in the scrum. Next year he'll be first choice and i really feel for Blues supporters. If they want to compete in anything next year they have to sign a decent tighthead.

Learning his trade in the deep end which is hard to do,
But give the lad a chance he is young,look at Adam Jones on his first few seasons!

I can't see healy giving him to much trouble as long as the ref stops healy usual tactics of binding on the arm

Adam jones struggled for fitness in his first few seasons but it was obvious from the early days that he could scrummage. So I don't think we can use the "let's give it some time" argument here.

Gametime will help him improve (as Adam Jones has said) - He will get a lot next season.

His scrummaging may well improve and he could be a future option for Wales.

He is only about 22?

i think he will be overtaken by joe rees of the ospreys, came on for adam jones against treviso and the scrum looked solid.

id even go as far as to say nathan buck is a better scrummager than andrews

Does anyone still believe that he is not totally out of his depth at this level?

Who disbelieved it?

He is totally out of his depth and he's been playing for the Blues for at least 2 years! Can't believe why people were calling for him to start over Filise for the past few seasons, now hopefully people can see why Dai Youngs never trusted him. He should go to an English or Welsh div 2 side and learn to scrummage... doubt that work though

how can he secure a contract as a prop for a professional team?
Surely the two muppets coaching this mess of a team should be expected to stand down when the final whistle goes, because this is going to get beyond embarrassing in the second half

I'd like to say give him time to develop. But he just dosnt seem to have a clue what scrummaging is about. I am confused as to how he is playing pro rugby, as his work around the field would not justify him earning a pro contract. Is is too late to resign Darren Morris?

Seriously, what do you expect the "two muppets" to do about the lack of decent props?
Let's remember, Baber and Burnell are only there because the man who controls the purse strings won't pay for a decent coach.

How did he get in Wales team. The Blues are a farce. All their good players have been foreign in recent years especially in the forwards.

There are good props in the prem and div 1. They might be a bit older or maybe carrying a bit of weight but they'd do a job for 50/60 mins which would then allow a player who needs to be developed to come on for the last 20. What has happend to Ryan Harford? He was doing very well at Ponty and was picked up by the Blues during the WC.

All of them? Whatever you say.
So what if some have been foreign. I have no problem with that and in fact I believe Welsh rugby has benefited from having players such as Rush, Blair, Laulala etc.
Ask Halfpenny, Roberts, Warburton, Brad, etc what they think. I'm sure they would agree with me.

You've missed a few out 606, but it doesn't matter as 3rdGrandslamCame is a troll I reckon.

Yep a troll. That's why the Blues lost 34-3 and have no chance in the league.

I've read your earlier post on another thread and I unreservedly refute my partial accusation of you being a troll.
That being said, Cardiff Blues are at a point of no return and today's result didn't change anything. If they had won they would still be in the same position.

Recent years?

All the tries in those games in "recent years" were scored by Welsh players, bar 2/12 by Ben Blair
