Nicky Robinson & Richie Rees join Blues coaching staff

Cardiff Blues favourites Nicky Robinson and Richie Rees have agreed deals to join the region’s backroom staff as transition coaches.

 
The duo made a combined 232 appearances for the Blues and won the EDF Energy Cup together in 2009.

 
Robinson of course, joined Wales’ Capital Region as short-term injury cover last season and then continued to assist in a part-time coaching role.

 
The former fly-half has now agreed to become a transition kicking coach, while his long-standing half-back partner Rees joins from the Dragons as transition backs coach.

During last season, Robinson made seven appearances after answering the Blues’ injury SOS and then enjoyed working with the region’s young fly-halves.
