Blues flanker Sam Warburton, talking to Simon Thomas of Wales Online, believes now is the time for Wales' regions to shine in the Heineken Cup.
"Wales captain Sam Warburton has sounded a Heineken Cup rallying cry to the regions, insisting there’s no reason why one of them shouldn’t go all the way to this season’s final.
Warburton’s Blues side host Edinburgh tonight in a match that will kick off a vital weekend of European rugby for the capital city side, the Ospreys and the Scarlets.
The Ospreys face English champions Saracens at Wembley tomorrow, while the Scarlets entertain crack Irish province Munster in what promises to be one of the most mouthwatering fixtures of the year.
But despite all three teams coming through the first two rounds of the elite competition undefeated, Wales is still weighed down by the burden of Heineken Cup history – which tells us no side from these parts has reached a final since the old Cardiff side managed to do so back in 1996, its inaugural year."
