Eagle Stars to Cardiff, but a Rest First

Blaine Scully, left, and Cam Dolan, right, will be an important part of the Cardiff Blues team, but get some down time first.

Cardiff Blues Head Coach Danny Wilson welcomes three Rugby World Cup veterans back to their fold and two of them are USA players.

Former Cal All American Blaine Scully and former Life University All American Cam Dolan join Samoa star Rey Lee-Lo to play for the Blues ... but not right now.

"We caught up with two American signings, Cam Dolan and Blaine Scully, on Monday and Rey-Lee Lo previous to that," Wilson told the Cardiff Blues rugby website. "All three have played a huge amount of rugby and have been on the go, like our Welsh internationals, since June. They are carrying some bumps and need to mentally freshen up. We will give them a short period of time off to do that, especially as we now go into a 16-week run of games.

"It's important they start here fresh and for the long haul, not rush them back for short term. We will get the new guys up to speed with what we are doing. Cam is having a week off then will come into us while Blaine is slightly longer as he needs to catch up with family back home and get his situation sorted to come back."
