Cardiff Blues set to sign Parks

Parks qualifies to play for Scotland through his grandmother

Cardiff Blues have reached a deal to sign Scotland fly-half Dan Parks from Glasgow, BBC Wales understands.

The region have refused to confirm or deny that Australian-born Parks, 31, will join at the start of next season.

Parks has made 101 appearances for Glasgow in six years and is five points short of becoming the first player to reach 1,000 Magners League points.

The Blues first-choice fly-half Sam Norton-Knight has struggled to make an impact since arriving in the summer.

Norton-Knight was brought in as a replacement for Nicky Robinson who left for Guinness Premiership side Gloucester.

But he has played most of his professional rugby in Australia at full-back and his performances following the switch to fly-half brought much criticism in his direction.

Parks is seen as a more solid figure in that position, but is not without controversy himself.

Despite winning 47 caps for Scotland, after qualifying through his grandmother, not all Scottish fans have been happy with his selection, claiming he has under-performed on occasions.

He was also left out by coach Andy Robinson for the autumn internationals.

Scottish Rugby, which finances Glasgow Warriors, said it would not comment on what its spokesman described as "rumour and speculation".
