Anscombe finally seals Cardiff move.
Finally, after months of conjecture, Gareth Anscombe has finally completed his move to Cardiff Blues.
The utility back, son of former Ulster coach, Mark, has been linked with a move to Wales for several months now, since he met with the Welsh coach, Warren Gatland, to discuss his options last winter.
The Chiefs player, who qualifies for Wales through his Cardiff born mother, Tracey, has been earmarked as a future Welsh fly half with the incumbents, Rhys Priestland, Dan Biggar and James Hook all failing to cement their place in the Welsh ten jersey.
Anscombe confirmed his departure to his team mate’s at a Chiefs dinner in Hamilton recently and will join the Blues at the culmination of the Super Rugby season.
For those not familiar with Anscombe, he is a dangerous broken field runner, whether or fly half or full back, and has a incisive Rugby play-making brain. Anscombe is also a composed place kicker, but not to the extent that he will wrestle that responsibility away from Leigh Halfpenny in the National Team’s shirt.
