URC Round 4 25/26

Dragons kicking the ball dead, while 7 points down at home and pretending not to kick it dead says all you need to know about the mindset....

Happy to lose within 7 at home against their local rivals who they havnt beat for a decade
do you think? I’m not saying you’re wrong but I think that was a genuine cross field kick. They had some luck in the 5-10 mins prior with some dinks/cross field kicks. O’Bien just messed it up in my opinion.

Anyway, top of the table. 💪

It was designed to look that way i think, id be too embarrassed to kick the ball out, but an attempt to crossfield that happens to go out is an unlucky attempt of going for it...

Except it was way too long, and shallow, more than likely on purpose lets be honest, Dragons accept LBPs like theyre gold coins, it keeps them from the foot of the table.

Dragons should be thankful for a LBP after that innept performance tbh. They weren't going anywhere there 10m from their own line, so whether it was intentional or not, kicking the ball out was probably the right thing to do rathar than inevitably concede a pen and lose their LBP.

Not a great game, but Cardiff will be happy regardless. They look to have added a big of dog and aggression to their attacking flair, which should stand them in good stead this season. Sheedy's place kicking is still a big issue though, might as well give the duties to Ben Thomas, he can't be worse!

Your not wrong, Sheedy has probably 20% kicking at goal this season...

Most games Cardiff try to spread the ball around, last night I think they tightened up knowing the Dragons didnt have the muscle to compete, which made the game a **** show as a viewer but job done.
 
Great half for us so far. Crowley has been excellent, it's all coming off for him right now. Leinsters front row is the main reason they're in touching distance but expecting them to pull back in the second half big time.

Awful for Gleeson he started very well. Lot of Leinster bodies dropping too. Did Prendergast get flagged for HIA?
