[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 256914"] Not a great match, but great result for the Blues. There were quite a few standout players for them yesterday, including Gethin Jenkins (wo's been consistently awesome this year), Paul ***o who's a great captain and does all the gritty stuff needed to win games like this. Xavier Rush was a machine (and even Andy Powell played well when he came on!). Nugget was awesome as always. In the backs, both Halfpenny and Tom James were superb, outclassed their international counterparts and it shows that it won't be long till those two are Wales' wingers aswell. I thought Shanklin had a quiet game, he needs to get more involved against Leicester. Nicky Robinson needs to forget his passing game yesterday (which is usually his best quality) and Spice needs to just get the ball out! Overall, a great win, but the fact that they' can play alot better really makes me believe they can win this cup (though Munster are still hot favourites). Not sure what Simknab was on about, being very disrespectful to the Blues in his post. Tolouse were up against the form team in this years HC, the team that won 6 from 6 in the pool stages and were no 1 seeds. It's a team packed full of quality Welsh players and a sprinkling of top class overseas players (like Rush, ***o and Blair). And yes Mr.cylopede, it was a knock on for the fist try (was close though, but benefit had to go to the Blues for such a messy lead up i.e. feet, mabe knock ons etc.) and the pass for the second was a mile forward. Get over it! You complain about refs against French teams, how about the winning try v AB's in the WC, a blatant forward pass missed, it goes both ways! I think people need to realise that the Blues are a good side, they are easily Wales' best team, and are now rightfully challenging to be Europes best aswell. It's been a long time building, Blues fans enjoy it! [/QUOTE]
