Cardiff Blues 12 - 16 Ospreys

[Cymro]

Also Powell seems to throw dodgy passes and runs sometimes when he should pass and it leads him to get into trouble at times!

Xavier Rush is a much more rounded player than Andy Powell. The problem is with Andy is that although he is a barnstorming runner, he has a lack of vision. He'll run sideways and looks for the gap. If he does offload, its often a hospital pass. You never know what hes going to do. Xavier is more of the leader, much more so than ***o. He'll make his 5/10 yards and help build phases. At the moment however, Dai has to play andy powell and bring xavier on later, maybe moving andy to 6, just because of pressure from wales.

On the ospreys game, we missed jamie robinson and jamie roberts, no one was there linking the old men shanks or alife to james, mustoe and halfpenny. Also, Spice is awful, hes lost the ability to pass, constantly putting pressure on Nick Robinson.

Fair play to the ospreys though their scrum was excellent and with Lee byrne, who in my opinion is the first name on the lions team sheet, put enough pressure on Cardiff to deserve their win. First team to beat us at home this season to =(.[/b]

Spice lost the ability to pass in his second season with us. Why'd you think we packed him off to you?!

Haha, fair cop. You did swoop Mikey Phillips off us though, and without spice we would have just had richie rees! Spice is worse than schoolboy level at the moment. Its killing a decent backline.

Has a certain Blues fan accepted that Shanklin should never be allowed to play for Wales again?
I mean, the guy has been playing well as of late and yet, he's still not better than Sonny...and would i want to see Sonny play for wales again?

Like f*** would I!
