What a run by Healy! He is the form winger in this country for past month.

ouncer

What a take by toh, what a run by healy

Absoluvely

TRY!

Tin Foil Hat

No try

Inspector Coptoor

If ref went to TMO, there wouldn't be a try!

He has :P

total former

What the fuch? How was that allowed?

Absoluvely

Referee changed his mind after awarding the try. Oh well. Right outcome in the end.

its_phil

Good man Jake!!

Absoluvely

TRY! No TMO required this time. Great maul.

connemara man

There we go with a try

Tin Foil Hat

Now it's a try

timaru89

ah well, didn't take long to get one!

Bridge93

Ah You sweating like he's played 80 mins in Qatar not 10 in Wales

oneofakind32

Well taken. The maul looks lethal. Was an easier kick on that side for Ronaldson than the dissallowed TOH try as well.

freyners

Rodney smash

Bridge93

That's a wonderful tackle from Ronaldson

freyners

This is getting a wee bit loose and it suits cardiff more. Settle lads

connemara man

Cardiff look dangerous when ball goes wide. really sloppy game though we need to settle down play territory and phases

timaru89

Maul looking very strong

thomond2006

I thought the opportunity was gone after Ronaldson kicked the ball away in the Cardiff 22 but at least they got 3 points afterwards.

Edit: And they hand a three point opportunity right back.

Adam Jones wearing Cardiff Blues blazer with a star over crest. Anyone know what star is for? I'd be quite embarassed if it was for winning the Challenge...

its_phil

Harsh penalty on Mul. Tackler never released

wp_rathead

Tackler never released there

Tox56

Ah You with a powderpuff clear out, he really is an unbelievably error prone player

Don't Leinster have a silver star on their jersey for winning it?

connemara man

Dacey doesn't look well at all

No pretty sure they have 3 stars for their Heineken wins.

thomond2006

Costly drop from MM

Inspector Coptoor

You don't expect that from an AB centurion

wp_rathead

Mils
Really not what we needed

You're right, don't know where I got that idea. Cardiff one can't be for anything else though..

its_phil

Rodney really throwing himself about! Bad kick by Tiernan but more than recovers himself with a turnover at the ruck. Delighted to see him back

Zzippy

Seen this referee a couple of times now and he seems on top of things all the time, very calm and communicates well with the players. No complaints so far anyway!

connemara man

Dear Rodney and George stop trying the pop up passes and offloads

freyners

Cooney is playing very well. Fixing defenders constantly

Mils poor so far

connemara man

Get Mils OF

thomond2006

****ing hell Mils

He's very lucky Connacht got a penalty!

wp_rathead

It's sad to see an absolute Legend of the game playing so poorly

He looks well off the pace tonight

thomond2006

Wow Mick Kearney doing a great Iain Henderson impression!

wp_rathead

Aly and Kearney having great games

Inspector Coptoor

What a pity Cooney knocked on.

Great break from Kearney

its_phil

Keep making key mistakes in redzone but this is some of the best stuff we've played all season. Cardiff line speed and intensity in tackle needs to be a lot better. Mils needs to look outside him and stop taking so much contact.

galwaylad14

Going well so far, but god almighty take Muliaina off ASAP. He could cost us this game if we leave him on much longer. Leader is a better option anyway

thomond2006

Jesus Connacht stop messing up chances.

Bridge93

Jesus that Blues scrum is pathetic

Bodes well. Connacht have a serious platform to work off, they just have to cut out the errors.

its_phil

Mils blowing an overlap!! Would he ever look wide!!

thomond2006

Another knock on. Good lord.

Connacht are basically Scotland! They are creating so many opportunities but making a meal of it in Cardiff's 22. With the scrum dominance though they simply have to win this.
