Xavier Rush: the Unit

Xavier Rush put in a man-of-the-match performance yesterday afternoon for the Cardiff Blues just days after an amputation.

After dislocating a finger during the 19-15 home victory over the Scarlets a few weeks ago, the Blues captain had surgery and 15 stitches to reattach the digit.

He had been expected to miss the first two rounds of the 2009/10 Heineken Cup, but he came back and helped rejuvenate his side from the lacklustre outfit which were defeated by Glasgow the previous week.

His work at the breakdown, ball carrying and direction were crucial as Cardiff were able to finish from positions which they butchered the previous week.
