WalesOnline says that Blues boss Dai Young believes Wales prop Gethin Jenkins will return to his best form this season after overcoming injury troubles that plagued him last season.
“Gethin has been excellent in pre-season and has been really looking forward to getting back playing,” said the former Wales prop. “He’s very happy that he has got over a bit of a long-term injury in his calf. It may or less came from his foot. He had a bit of a toe problem and it was a follow-on from that.
“What he and the medics have done is look at different exercises to stop that. Last season, because there were always big games coming up for us and Wales, he never perhaps had the right time to totally get over it and put a bit of groundwork and rehab to make sure it’s 100 per cent.
“He’s had a solid base which he hasn’t had for a number of seasons because he’s always been on tours. He’s had a strong pre-season and he’s thirsty for rugby again, which is what you’ve got to try and get from your senior players – that hunger for rugby.”
