[QUOTE="bgrugbyfan, post: 275459"] Should be interesting to see Nicky square up against his "old" team. [url="http://www.walesonline.co.uk/rugbynation/cardiff-blues/2009/08/13/cardiff-blues-and-gloucester-clash-in-anglo-welsh-cup-91466-24394930/"]http://www.walesonline.co.uk/rugbynation/c...91466-24394930/[/url] THE Blues and Gloucester will square up on the opening weekend of the Anglo-Welsh Cup in a repeat of last season’s final. The Blues will travel to Kingsholm on November 6 as they aim to keep up their recent stranglehold over the Cherry and Whites. The Ospreys take on Northampton at Franklin’s Gardens, while the Dragons host Sale Sharks on the same night with Worcester v Newcastle on November 7. The final fixtures of the opening weekend see the Scarlets come up against Harlequins at The Stoop, the Saracens against Bath, London Irish take on Wasps and Leeds play Leicester. After a restructuring of the tournament format, it will now have a cross-pool competition meaning teams in Pool One will play teams in Pool Four and teams in Pool Two play teams in Pool Three. As well as this, fixtures will now take place on weekends during November’s autumn internationals and the Six Nations, leaving many teams without their international players. Meanwhile, the Blues will aim to retain the trophy they won in April after crushing Gloucester 50-12 at Twickenham giving the region their first piece of silverware.
