Rees returns from 12-week ban
Wales international Richie Rees will begin his comeback after a 12-week ban tomorrow.
The Cardiff Blues scrum-half missed Wales’ entire RBS 6 Nations campaign after being found guilty of making contact with the eye area of Northampton and England hooker Dylan Hartley during a Heineken Cup game just before Christmas.
Rees, who would have been a key part of Wales coach Warren Gatland’s Six Nations plans, now returns to the Blues starting line-up for their Magners League Welsh derby clash against the Ospreys in Swansea.
