Our unbeaten run is about to be bookended by the Bulls.

I don't get nervous but this time of the season, I start to get a little bit shakey!

[The Seeker]

Glasgow over Munster.

We Are Warriors!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Frawley not making the B team, doesn't read well for him.

That's as strong a team as we've ever put out in SA. Won't get to watch but hopefully they give it a lash.

 

[big ginger 8]

Really like that team, plenty of strength and young guys positioned to really give a good showing of themselves.

Half backs are what they are.

 

[irisht]

Wonder where Tector is.

 

[dirty harry]

Cardiff are favourites for the lions game...

Matt Sheratt has been tactically outplayed so far, Lions have only won one away game this season, playing a wide expansive game...

Thus far in the cold wet conditions cardiff look stunned lions are playing a tight low risk game lol...

Well done Sheratt, you've been undone by wet conditions lol

 

[dirty harry]

60 mins in, Cardiff on their own 10m they go multi phase for no reason, and lose the ball... great tactical awareness hahaha

 

[dirty harry]

Unbelievably despite poor tactical plan, an intercept gives cardiff the lead

 

[General Melchett]

The Scottish play has just scored the winning try for Glasgow.

 

[dirty harry]

Cardiff about to lose this game deservedly...

The should have got away with it, but ref ditched out of the decision of off the ball tackle on Sheedy...

Lions deserve to win this, just by a tactical masterclass...

 

[dirty harry]

Cardiff have been shite tonight, especially tactically...

But Liam Belcher has been the best Hooker in Wales for 3 seasons, how TF has he not had some Welsh caps?!?!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Can't rely on Munster for nothin I tell ya

 

[Bluemoon]

Oof. Cardiff with a massive defence in the first half, looked out on their feet at the ground by 60. Cardiff have much more dog this season up front and it's making it harder to break them down.

Sheedy with another bonkers game, crazy kicking options on the attack, bombed from deep in the pocket twice to one player who was opposing 4/5. A bounce of the ball and that game is totally different. Cam Winnett looked injured worryingly for next week, he continues to make line breaks for fun though.

I disagree, agree and disagree lol

Lions havnt won an away game for months and it was against dragons, Lions played smart today, Cardiff set up tactically stupid.

We deserved to lose, Lions were better, but we were lucky we capitalised on the intercept.

 

[O’Doyle Rules]

People criticise the coaches but Jesus Frawley looks like a different player - maybe they know something.

 

[O’Doyle Rules]

Good game that - Bulls front row ruined Leinster all game. Must say - Barrett just oozes class.

Terrible coming on at 10? (I didn't get to watch).

To be honest he's never had more than a good 20mins at 10, was a media frenzy out of nothing more than Farrell wanting an option for a 6/2 bench.
