No league for Old Men - Pro 14 - R. 8

Zebre had some lovely phases of play, but were hammered by a much improved Blues. I suspect teams may be working out how to play against Zebre's wildly attacking style.

I think the big difference is having a genuine 7 back in the Cardiff team, who is playing very well. I think Olly Robinson is enjoying his time at Cardiff because our game revolves around the 7 and a fast back row. Cardiff play a fast and wide game, and with Ellis and Sam missing, it's been harder to gain the momentum that was there last season. Nick Williams just hasn't got the gas for it, although his contribution going forward has been excellent in patches.

Fair play to Edinburgh, I have been a massive critic of their style of play for a while now (and I maintain that criticism), and although it's a sad state of affairs at the Ospreys, to put that sort of score up is always impressive against them.
