Cardiff boss Dai Young has put his players on notice ahead of their chance to repair some of the damage from last week’s loss to Welsh rivals Scarlets.
Annoyed by the nature of his side’s performance in the 35-20 defeat to the 14-man Scarlets, Young has been in no mood to mince his words - he delivered this brutal assessment after the match - and continued that theme ahead the reverse fixture at the Arms Park this Saturday. Noise out of the Cardiff camp has been that the debrief session was uncompromising and the man at the top of the organisation has not hidden his displeasure.
In his pre-match press conference for the return game, Young explained that wholesale changes to his squad would not be coming immediately this summer after players were given an extra year on their contracts due to the pay cuts they took during the Covid-19 pandemic. But there will be real opportunity to change personnel throughout next season and as such he said the players had six months to prove their worth.
