Cardiff Blues notched up seven tries in a high-scoring friendly victory over Worcester at the Arms Park.

Deiniol Jones, Bradley Davies, Dafydd Hewitt and Xavier Rush crossed in the first half, as Matt Powell's converted try got the visitors on the scoreboard.

Rhys Williams, Taufaao Felise and Martyn Williams completed the Blues rout, as Nick McLeod kicked two extras.

Worcester tries from Tevita Taumoepeau, Thomas Lombard and Chris Pennell gave the final score some respectability.

Blues' Wales three-quarter Tom Shanklin and Worcester's Wales prop Chris Horsman were late withdrawals after looking set to make their long-awaited return from injury.

"And considering how much rugby we've actually played, it was far superior than what we expected.

"We've worked really hard over the summer with one target - hitting the ground at pace against Munster in our first Celtic League game."
