Cardiff Blues v Leicester

[Sir Speedy]

That was fine defending from Cardiff.
20 phases and they win the penalty.
And another penalty in a kickable position! Martyn you legend!

Yes! 9 - 10. Awesome play from the Blues, no longer giving the Tigers the space they had earlier.
And a penalty from the kick off! Offside by miles Leicester! A kick from halfway for Halfpenny again.

What a legend this kid is! 12 - 10.

Leicester were a bit pedestrian though in their attack, just played into the Blues hands.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Oh fricking hell... What were they thinking there?!

Absolutely suicidal. Penalty Leicester in front of the posts. 12 - 13. What the hell was that all about? *sigh*

He was isolated and it was 3 on 1 so just be thankful he wasn't turned over quicker and the try wasn't scored.

 

[Sir Speedy]

It wasn't turned over quicker because he held on...
I'm more condemning of the fact they were stupid enough to do that in the first place. Clueless play.

Blair is getting turned over too much, he needs to pass it more than try to rely on stepping his way through.
Good game though, some fantastic kicking from Halfpenny, though mistakes have leaked too many points imo.

 

[Sir Speedy]

And of all the games for Geordan Murphy to play well in...

 

[An Tarbh]

sure he always plays well for Leicester hence the clueless calls for him to start for Ireland

and up he pops for Leicester's second try.

 

[Thingimubob]

am disgusted at the Blues tackling there

 

[Sir Speedy]

Looking very ominous for Cardiff. Halfpenny not playing too well in defence... 20 - 12.

 

[An Tarbh]

I can only assume from all these closeups on Murphy that Barnes is waxing lyrical.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Though they'll be pleased with their dominance in the scrum! Crucial turnover methinks. They desperately need a score now.

 

[An Tarbh]

one penalty machine for another.

 

[An Tarbh]

Williams pinged in front of the post and Leicester stretch their lead to 11.

 

[An Tarbh]

tough **** Flood, not as good as Fitzgerald's yesterday.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Another penalty... Blair has been terrible today. As has the lineout and the breakdown for Cardiff. If this is converted it'll be an insurmountable lead I feel...

 

[An Tarbh]

stupid play from Williams there, absolutely stupid.

 

[dullonien]

This game is slipping away from the Blues. They can't get their bloody hands on the ball! Wtf has happened to their linout? Arg, bloody sh*t.

 

[An Tarbh]

he's found his kicking boots now.

 

[dullonien]

Hadn't realised ***o got injured, that's having a big impact I think.
