Blues must up their game but they must feel there is a chance of a crucial win at Stade Pierre-Antoine, according to Shaun Edwards in The Guardian.
"Tonight Cardiff Blues and the Ospreys, two of the more favoured sides before the competition got under way, play matches which could go a long way to deciding how far they go in the competition. Ospreys because defeat at home to London Irish means a struggle to get out of Pool Three, where no second team is likely to go through. Cardiff because they should be sensing the chance of a vital away win against a side that can blow hot and cold.
"That said, the Blues were a long way off their best against Edinburgh, winning by a point, and Martyn Williams is now among the ranks of the missing while, but for a disputed try, Castres might have pulled off the shock of the first round at Northampton. I'm not suggesting the trip south will be easy, hardly anything is in Europe these days, but there's the sniff of a chance."
