This could get quite ugly for Cardiff here

errlloyd · 13-10-2013 1:15pm

18 missed tackles, 3 lost line outs. Cardiff are awful.

errlloyd · 13-10-2013 1:16pm

Fetu scores. Bonus point and easy conversion.

Leigh halfpenny and Alex cuthbert both fall for the same dummy. 29 points to 3.

TheGoldenAges · 13-10-2013 1:16pm

Wow.

P_1 · 13-10-2013 1:16pm

Bonus point after 30 minutes, oh my

Taco Corp · 13-10-2013 1:17pm

wow. bonus point try for chiefs. for all the good individuals that cardiff have, they really are terrible

Buer · 13-10-2013 1:17pm

This is an utter embarrassment. I've only watch the last 5 minutes and the Blues don't look like they care whatsoever. Pringle should leave the pitch.

B0X · 13-10-2013 1:17pm

How are Cardiff so bad, so consistently?

Their players simply don't give a damn whatsoever.

They've 13 international players starting today including 5 test Lions. They're a disgrace.

CatFromHue · 13-10-2013 1:24pm

Even Zebre (away to Toulouse), Mogliano (away to Dragons), and Cavalieri Proto (away to London Irish) lasted longer without conceding 4 tries this weekend!

29 mins is when Exeter scored their 4th try.

P_1 · 13-10-2013 1:26pm

And there's number 5, far too easy for the Chiefs

errlloyd · 13-10-2013 1:26pm

5th try for Exeter. Who is that Exeter scrum half. He's playing well.

former legend · 13-10-2013 1:26pm

This is disgraceful from Cardiff.

BBDBB · 13-10-2013 1:31pm

pathetic stuff from the Blues, Exeter playing well as a unit to do a professional job

.ak · 13-10-2013 1:36pm

Not watching but I'd imagine the welsh players are all thinking of the AIs. Terrible stuff. If the WRU valued the impact from the clubs they'd take club form into the selection process.

Larbre34 · 13-10-2013 1:36pm

Cardiff are an embarrassment to the Pro12. Thankfully Scarlets did what they did but its all grist to the PRL mill. All Wales' grand slams have done precisely nothing for bringing on the regions. One more defeat for Ospreys and theyre cooked as well

RuggieBear · 13-10-2013 1:37pm

Cardiff should be ****ing ashamed of themselves. ****ing pathetic effort being shown.

You'd feel sorry for the likes of copeland, coming on in the second half after a capitulation like that.

CatFromHue · 13-10-2013 1:44pm

It's quite amazing really. Last season Cardiff, Lanelli, and the Dragons were all out of European reckoning after their second games.

Only Ospreys put up a good fight and were in it until game 5.

kingtiger · 13-10-2013 1:45pm

is that Prince Harry playing outhalf?

Alpha Dog 1 · 13-10-2013 1:45pm

With jerseys like that they deserve to get hammered!

13-10-2013 1:56pm

Garces rides that tackle well!

errlloyd · 13-10-2013 1:56pm

Garces gets bashed. Thank the Lord for refcam.

13-10-2013 1:59pm

Steenson doing very well here.

Should be on Schmidt's radar.

P_1 · 13-10-2013 2:00pm

And another one for Exeter, Steenson hits the post for the third time with the conversion, 41-3 now

errlloyd · 13-10-2013 2:02pm

Lloyd Williams scores for the blues, jammy try from a mistake. Williams proving that only Welsh players with that second name, can scores tries in the hcup this weekend.

P_1 · 13-10-2013 2:02pm

41-10, the comeback's on...

toomevara · 13-10-2013 2:03pm

Great admirer of Exeter, a very easy team to like..no puffed up idiots or rockstars like so many premiership teams here in the UK..good team, play nice rugby and fair play to them, but the Cardiff Blues should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves on the basis of the first half. Completely unprofessional.

How many?

Himself and Scarlet's 9 and 12

13-10-2013 2:07pm

41-17

Copeland gallops over.

Another quick one would be cool

P_1 · 13-10-2013 2:08pm

Copeland goes over, still proving the hypothesis that only Welsh players with the Williams surname can score tries though. Defence seems optional in this one

13-10-2013 2:08pm

Exeter have 2 men binned!
C'mon Cardiff, another score in next 2/3 minutes and we could have a proper interesting game on our hands.

And the scarlets 11, which is 4 Williams try scorers. Ospreys didn't score a try, and Cardiff soother try is copeland, who's Irish! But James hook also scored... So it's not quite true.

errlloyd · 13-10-2013 2:10pm

Exeter have lost two centres. Harsh call

And another one!

Cardiff will be sniffing a bonus point here

P_1 · 13-10-2013 2:10pm

Chiefs down to 13 for the next ten minutes, things could get interesting now

Davei141 · 13-10-2013 2:10pm

Exeter down to 13! Is there a comeback on?

He's looking a much better article than mr 'lions captain'. Back to last seasons fecklessness.

toomevara · 13-10-2013 2:13pm

Right, this is fast becoming as bizarre a 60 minutes of Heineken rugby as I have ever seen...is it just me or was that 2 yellow completely ridiculous?

errlloyd · 13-10-2013 2:16pm

Surely a tbp for Cardiff here.

13-10-2013 2:16pm

Yeah not sure about the second yellow at all.

Cuthbert scores in the corner but they took ages to work the try.

Need to be far more ruthless with a 2 man advantage.

Swan Curry · 13-10-2013 2:16pm

Not sure about the deliberate knock-on,but the high tackle was a fair yellow.

First was harsh, second was fair enough I thought

Phoeey · 13-10-2013 2:16pm

I thought so too.

awec · 13-10-2013 2:17pm

41-22

CatFromHue · 13-10-2013 2:17pm

I dunno on the yellows.

The high tackle was around the neck and Whitten did slap the ball down so I can see why the ref gave them.

shuffol · 13-10-2013 2:20pm

A certain try denied by a poor forward pass call by Garces.

Totally agree, also thought Cuthbert was a little bit lackadaisical with the touch down...
