Harlequins v Cardiff Blues

[An Tarbh]

Cardiff Blues already have 3 tries on the board as they look to take the last spot in the Challenge Cup.

Ulster fans will be hoping that Quins can launch a comeback.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Well Quins look set to do that. Cardiff scored the bonus point try with Easter in the bin, but Care has scored the seventh try of the game on the stroke of half-time, making the score 20 - 26 to Cardiff.

 

[An Tarbh]

well that's Ulster gone then.

 

[Sir Speedy]

What are the challenge cup spots looking like, at the moment?

 

[An Tarbh]

depends on the Leeds Bourgoin result which is on at the moment, Bourgoin are leading 15-9 at the moment which would put them on 23 points making them 5th seeds for the quarter finals.

As it stands, this would be the draw.

Connacht v Bourgoin
Toulon v Scarlets
Wasps v Gloucester
Newcastle v Cardiff Blues

 

[Sir Speedy]

Alright, thanks.

Blues are def in the Amlin.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Excellent performance from Cardiff.

If the referee hadn't been a total **** at Edgeley Park, they'd be in the Heineken Cup quarters.

Oh well.

 

[Bluemoon]

It was always going to be a big ask with Toulouse and no Italian team. Although I did think that Quins would be the away loss, not Sale.

Never mind, a good crack in the Amlin now and the season may not look so bad after all.

Well, Gatland will certainly be a happy chappy after that game. Seeing the likes of Roberts and Powell back into top form is great news for Wales.

As for the Blues, that's gonna be a tough game in the Amlin against Wasps, but they've found some form of late and look like their old selves again. Nice to see two Welsh teams in the Amlin, should give us a good chance to win the thing and free up that 4th HC spot next season.

 

[An Tarbh]

well away to Toulon and Newcastle I wouldn't give the Welsh teams much chance. I'd say the 3 sides coming in from the Heineken Cup are well ****** with the Wasps result on Thursday as that made Connacht no 1 seeds and the side all 3 would have loved to face.

not really, Northampton were already through with 19 points, the Blues could only get to 18

He means in Round 2 when the Blues lost to Sale by a point.
