    Did anyone see the Ospreys vs Cardiff the other night, was well impressed with them. Tommy Bowe may have made a shrewd move there.
    I thought a few weeks ago they would push for ML honours, they are certainly good enough to rattle the HEC as well.

    I think they'll flatter to deceive. The 1st half was brutal and O's had a much stronger side starting than the Blues did, as well as being at home, I think the 14/1 at the bookies accurately reflects their Heineken Cup chances which are definately boosted by having one of the easiest groups.

    Predictions - lose an away Q/F in the HC

    Agreed about first half but Cardiff are no mugs - they outplayed Leinster for large periods- was impressed by their back line and 2nd half performance was good. Byrne Bowe Williams Hook are all quality.

    Hook and Bowe were savage. Cardiff made 9 changes from the side that started against Leinster due to match congestion (their own fault for signing up for this EDF crap!!)

    Cardiff were generally poor but Ospreys do look the real deal this year and I think they'll be looking for ML honours and have a real crack at Europe at the same time.

    Do they have the squad depth to challenge for 3 trophys though?
