Cardiff Arms Park - 19/01/13 - 15.40​

Not sure how we'll play this - try and get some momentum going back in to the premiership, or send out the 2nds again?
Either way I don't expect a win.

 

[Draggs]

Not sure how the Blues will take this.
I hope they give Owen Williams another run in midfield. A welcome change over Evans and Hewitt.

Can understand this not being televised, if they had to pick one not to be on, as it's a dead rubber - but it's not even on the radio!

Try for Sale after 4minutes - Tommy Taylor from a rolling maul.

Think BBC Radio Wales might have it?

 

[SelimNiai]

Nope, have Cardiff City on, best you'll get from the Blues game is the odd update

 

[Thingimubob]

City aren't playing for at least another hour and a half though?

 

[SelimNiai]

Might be Swansea or Newport County, certainly wasnt rugby when I switched on. I'd check Radio Cymru but I wouldn't have a scooby whats occurin'

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Swansea, I think.

 

[Thingimubob]

Cant seem to listen to Radio Cymru, probably due to being in Deutschland I guess, but seems like they've just got a general sports show on atm
Blues 9 - 7 up anyway after 3 Halfpenny penalties

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aston Croall try,
9 - 14



Edit:
Followed by a Lloyd Williams try
16 - 14

 

[Thingimubob]

Paterson scored late on as well and it ended 26 - 14 to Cardiff! Great to finally see a win in the Heineken, sounds like Lloyd Williams had one hell of a game, scoring a cracking solo try and setting up the second one too.
