| The Magners League fixtures for the 2007–2008 season have been announced, and will see the Cardiff Blues play the champions Ospreys at home in the first match of the season on the weekend of the 1st of September.
The Blues will then take on the Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade the following weekend before the Scottish and Irish teams join the competition on September 22nd.
Speaking after the fixtures were announced Cardiff Blues Director of Rugby David Young said:
"Our opening fixture will be a tough match as we welcome the champions Ospreys to the Arms Park, but having said that, we were obviously very pleased to go through all of last season undefeated at the Arms Park in the league."
"Our home form has been very good but we need to improve in our away matches if we are to challenge as strongly in the league as we did last year."
"I think the Rugby World Cup will affect most of the teams in the Magners League but it's up to the players who aren't involved to step up and prove they can really challenge for a place when the international players return."
