[QUOTE="Rugby_Cymru, post: 114265"] Cardiff ended the game with 4 tries and the crucial bonus point. I was about to get ready to say that with great surprise Nigel Owens didn't make a mistake all game but of course, because he was so good throughout the whole game he had to mkae up for it with a glaring error that will potentially deicde to whom the league ***le goes. He claimed Mike Phillips had scored a try whereas in slow motion replay it was made clear (to me) that he in fact lost control of the ball whilst touching it down. That try was the 4th, they scored no more after it and effectively gave the Blues the bonus point they were itching for. I wonder if that point will be crucial come the end of the season.Because it definately will come down to the wire - down to the very last game. Leinster and Ospreys fans will not be happy with that refereeing decision. Xavier Rush got man of the match, and he was a great asset to the team, but i believe the catalyst and finisher on 2 occasions, Mike Phillips deserved to get the award. Had it not been for Phillips, no one else would have scored the first try, no one else would have caused chaos throughout and there was no bigger contribution to the game than his. Intriguing thought as well, that maybe Mike Phillips helped take the ***le away from the team he is moving to next season. [/QUOTE]
