Cardiff second string

Cardiff's second string were predictably blown away in the second half by a strong Stade Francais. But there were a few cameos that encouraged me.
I was particularly impressed by Matty Young, who had an excellent game and showed he's one for the future. Evan Lloyd was pretty steady, too.
Grady looked a bit off the pace, but didn't get much ball to use. I suspect he'll be firing on all six before the Six Nations. I can't see any reason why he shouldn't be included as a bench option covering FB, wing, and centre. Possibly a Backrow too if needs must.
