Dragons v Cardiff Blues</div>

The Dragons finally managed to put in a performance that their form was promising when dispatching the Ospreys last week with the bonus point win, they'll be looking to do their European qualification hopes a world of good by putting a bit more distance between themselves and the Blues when they meet today at Rodney Parade.

Hard to think that a team going so well in Europe is langushing one off the bottom, say what you like about Munster concentrating on the Heineken Cup but they were never this bad in the league so something for the Blues to improve upon or else they may face an unwelcome playoff at the end of the season and possibly without their internationals who will be on Lions duty.

Add to that that it's a derby match then we should get a resaonably decent game today.

I take it back having seen James Jones is in charge of this game

Blues take the lead in the 63rd min with a Ben Blair penalty, score now 19 - 21 to the Blues

Was a good game. Dragons could and should have won it at the death there, poor drop goal attempts, but the Blues defense was quite magnificent throughout the majority of the game, great organising.

Can't understand the reason for not playing Jason Tovey at 10, he's by far the most gifted player they have, he always makes the right decisions, and always manages to create some good moves. Today also showed that he's not ready for fullback yet, he was out of position defensively quite often.

Rather think the Dragons lost it than the Blues won it!

Did anyone else notice Feeder frontman Grant Nicholas on the terrace?

 

[RC]

Haha!
No, when the camera pans over the crowd Grant Nicholas (feeder front man) is not the first person i think to look for.

You weirdo...

 

[cyRil]

Well I didn't look for him especially you doofus! He was just ******* standing there wasn't he??!!!
