Gloucester v Cardiff Blues</div>

This alongside the Wasps/Leinster match is the hardest to call this weekend. If the teams bring their domestic form then there's only one winner, however if the Blues bring their European form to Kingsholm then they're more than capable of getting the win.

I'd still think that Gloucester are just about favourites regardless of whatever mood the Blues are in as Kingsholm is still a notoriously difficult place to get a win at, think it's only Paris and Munster who have done so in Europe and I don't think this Blues side are in that league yet, although they have the potential.

They'll still qualify but by getting a win at Kingsholm they'll be sending out a message to the other teams left in the competition.

The Blues are definitely good enough to win this game. Not sure if they will though. They showed in Leinster last week they are capable of going anywhere and win (fine they lost that game, but they shouldn't have), and with 6 first choices back, this team should be alot better than last weeks.

Looking forward to a good game.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Hope the Blues slaughter them.

 

[Bluemoon]

Im on my way down to Kingsholm tomorrow morning with a bit of belief. So should the team.

I have no doubt our backs with cause them trouble. Its just how much ball the forwards gget us and the quality of it (Jason Spice)! Big game from the forwards needed.

My god, you support Cardiff as well. How many teams is that now?

 

[Sir Speedy]

I know, cheering on my fellow Welsh regions is a bad thing. :lol:
Give it up, really. You're a wannabe cynic at best...

 

[danny]

Just get a team and stick with it,easy.
Anyway back to this game, I think it will be a narrow win for Glaws just for the fact its at home. Our injury list is huge but I feel we have probably got just enough to see us home. We neen the bonus point win but its not going to happen. ***o is a big loss for the Blues as is Blair so the injury probs are not just on our side.

 

[dullonien]

***o's a big loss, but Deiniol Jones and Scott Morgan will do just fine. Last week showed Deiniol Jones can be more important than Toto, he's the go to man in the linout. Blair isn't too much a blow, since Halfpenny easily fills in for him, don't think we loose much there atall.

Other than that, the Blues are at full strength.

Don't see your problem with Speedy, danny. I support all four Welsh regions aswell. Then Speedy has chosen a GP and Top14 team to support since he watches them on a regular basis. What's the problem with that?

 

[Sir Speedy]

It contradicts his medieval ideals.

 

[dullonien]

Well there's nothing wrong with supporting the one team, most people do. But, I don't see his problem that someone else supports more than one. We all know your main team is the Scarlets.

Most Welsh people I know support all four regions, especially in Aberystwyth where we have no local team to support (well apart from Aberystwyth in devision 3 West).

Oh no, I'm not saying that. Judging by Danny's posts though, I should be flayed for supporting more than one side - what an unthinkable act of treason, am I right?

 

[Cymro]

To be honest its not football where you have to stick to one side, its good support more than one side!

Well I'll be rooting for Glaws for the following reasons:

1) Dennis Betts
2) They play in Cherry & White
3) English

:lol: I love it well put mate.

 

[Vambo]

Great start with the boot for Barkley.

 

[Vambo]

Glaws lucky to be given that pen. 6 -3 to them now.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Both sides looking threatening. Olly Barkley to make it 6 - 3, even though the ref missed a blatant knock-on from Glaws before giving them the penalty.
C'MON CARDIFF!
EDIT: Tom James red-carded for a head butt... What a bloody moron! Oh God. Cardiff are going to really struggle now.

 

[Vambo]

Cardiff spoiling their own good work there....

Man sent off as well. James what a pillock.
