BBC Sport Wales version:

Tovey's Dragons contract expires at the end of the season and the 22-year-old's agent has confirmed he has "verbally agreed" a two-year deal at the Blues. Tovey's departure will be a blow to the struggling Dragons.

Former Wales under-20 international Tovey's imminent move to the Blues is sure to cast doubts over the future of Scotland fly-half Dan Parks at the Cardiff City Stadium. Parks, who signed from Glasgow in 2010, has a contract at the Blues until the end of the season and has been linked with a move away from south Wales. Experienced former Wales fly-half Ceri Sweeney has also been linked with a return to home-town club Pontypridd.

It seems Tovey, the 2010 Young Welsh Player of the Year, is the man to the Blues hope will create chances for their Wales international back-line of Jamie Roberts, Gavin Henson, Leigh Halfpenny and Alex Cuthbert. Tovey's agent Jonathan Stuart, who works for Top Marque Sports management company, revealed to BBC Sport that his player "verbally agreed" a "two-year deal" with the Blues on Friday.

Thomson House version:

JASON TOVEY is poised to quit the Dragons and sign a long-term deal with the Blues. The outside-half, who was in the Wales training squad before last year’s World Cup, is viewed as an exciting successor to Dan Parks. Scotland international Parks is expected to leave the Blues at the end of the campaign while experienced Wales cap Ceri Sweeney is understood to be returning to his hometown club Pontypridd.

New Blues coaches Gareth Baber and Justin Burnell see the left-footed Tovey as a playmaker with the ability to bring the best out of under-used strike-runners like Wales stars Jamie Roberts and Leigh Halfpenny. Sources at the Blues believe playing a more attractive brand of rugby might help reverse an alarming slump in attendances for matches at the Cardiff City Stadium.

The team that lost 40-3 and not the team that won 34-16 obviously.

Don't take me seriously Bob. I'm only having a laugh.
