The phrase all singing all dancing must have been coined for spectacles such as Soul Sister, the Tina Turner musical currently showing at the New Theatre.

Although the show is billed as the story of both Ike and Tina Turner, the other characters are backing singers for Emi Wokoma’s star performance.

Cardiff Blues welcome Ulster to Cardiff Arms park

The Blues will be looking to make it two from two this season as they return to their old stomping ground

Tonight's game against Ulster will see Martyn Williams start for Cardiff Blues for the second time since recovering from a broken arm which left him on the sidelines for almost five months.

Williams will start at openside tonight as a late replacement for Josh Navidi, who pulled out with a bruised hip. The Blues will also see international trio Lloyd Williams, Scott Andrews and Gavin Henson return from Six Nations duty.

Rees returns for Blues' crunch tie with Ospreys

Cardiff Blues scrum-half Richie Rees is set to return for the Magners League clash against the Ospreys tomorrow.

Having missed the entire Six Nations campaign, Richie Rees will make his first start since his 12-week ban started at the beginning of January.

Rees was suspended after being found guilty of foul play, having made contact with the eye area of England international Dylan Hartley during the Northampton Saints Heineken Cup match in December.

The scrum-half's return is a timely boost for the Blues, as both they and the Ospreys have labelled their Magners League clash at the Liberty Stadium as a “must win” game.

Dai Young piles on the pressure for Cardiff Blues' play-off spot

Cardiff Blues coach Dai Young has laid down the gauntlet to his players for the season finale, by challenging them to win all five of their remaining matches.

The Blues are on the hunt for a Magners League play-off spot, but they were dealt a blow when they lost at home to Munster on Friday.

The 16-15 defeat leaves the Blues in fifth place, and their next fixture is a crucial Welsh derby away to fellow title-chasers the Ospreys.

Xavier Rush emphasises the importance of a win against Edinburgh

Xavier Rush speaks ahead of Friday's fixture claiming "in terms of getting into the playoffs, the Edinburgh game is crucial."

Cardiff Blues number eight Xavier Rush has said their match against Edinburgh will be "crucial" to their hopes of winning the Magners League.

Rush was part of the Blues side who lost 32-13 in Ulster last week, and the bulldozing New Zealander is keen to make up for the defeat when they travel to Murrayfield on Friday.
