Cardiff Blues have strengthened their relationship with Cardiff Met by signing young second row prospect Miles Normandale
Gwydion Griffiths

Born and bred in South Africa, Cardiff Blues young back row forward Andries Pretorius moved to the U.K. in 2006 to study business at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire, an establishment which has a proud rugby tradition.
The powerful back rower from Durban has made steady progress since switching from Gloucester to take up a three-year contract, and made his debut for the Blues against Connacht in December 2009.
Having skippered Hartpury and represented England Students, Andries then linked up with Gloucester’s Academy, before deciding to make the move to Cardiff. At 23, he has time on his side and is eager to go down the route of becoming eligible for Wales on the three-year residency rule.
