Cardiff Blues vs Glasgow Warriors Sat 6th Oct 6:30pm

First topic message reminder :

Cardiff Blues vs Glasgow Warriors

When: Sat 6th October 6:30pm
Where: Cardiff Arms Park

Teams
Cardiff Blues: TBA

Glasgow Warriors: TBA

Warriors without DTH for 6 weeks, something that I'm sure will please the Blues fans on the board. Poor performances from both teams at the weekend and they'll be looking to make amends this week.

Blues playing far too deep on that attack, he was tackled miles behind the gainline.

Nice evening in the Diff tonight. If I'd the cash I would've gone down there to see Schlong

Still 0-0 after nearly ten minutes.

Can you not get the S4C stream online?

Not from these remote parts, I wouldn't think.

If you have a link to that site 606 I would be v happy to try.

Looks like this might be a good game, c'mon blues

Penalty no2 against the Blues scrum

George - as far as I know it works anywhere in the UK:

Scrap that...just seen you're in UAE.

Blues scrum still crap!

No, I just got the Wrigley's Extra commercial and no coverage.

Blues have to have a think about their scrum this is silly, three scrums three penalties against.

Tom James has been playing very well recently to be fair, really making his presence felt in games.

Oh. Can't help George. Just checked my other usual streams and none are showing this one. To be honest, not many stream live games from S4C and the Leinster/Munster match is on now too.

Well, its 0 - 0 after 15minutes, so you haven't missed much.

Glasgow win possession against the head from the Blues scrum

And also got a penalty advantage from it.

Minutes played - 15
Penalties given away from the scrum - 4

Close game in Leinster vs Munster. 10-11 try a piece, o'Mahony and Strauss

Is that really the Blues' best props??

Points directly conceded - 3

Weegees get a penalty. 0-3. Shabby, but it went over.

Blus scrum hasn't been that bad so far until that one anyway.

But the popularity of penalising Blues at scrum time and the nerves from the Blues scrum have crept in, early engagement is all about the Blues nerves, but the first 2 calls were poor from the ref!!!

Either way a big hooker and lock are needed minimum, Down is just prem quality!!!

I hope not!

Why bring in NWQ players if they can't hold their own, the Blues are not in this game gain because they can't scrum.

They are our new props, so we have been kind of praying they are. Nobody could be worse than Filise atm, but Hobbs may return to displace Campese.

See crooked feed!! how many do you see of them? Popular to penalise the weaker scrum these days!!

Blues lineout is awful
Glasgow knock on
Blues scrum
Glasgow free kick.

Of course...

Jesus ref, not straight considering the amount of crooked feeds was a tough call.

Well played halfpenny in defence.

Once again To-Jam proves he can't do two things at once namely hang onto the ball and run with it.

Halfpenny getting treatment to his knee

Penalties from scrum - 4
Possession turned over from scrum - 3
Point conceded directly from scrum - 3

Glasgow looking decent so far - vast improvement from recent weeks, particularly at the breakdown. Much more aggressive.

It is just as well Glasgow are poor as teams like Ulster last week would be out of sight.

When the blues win a scrum they kick it away!

Can someone tell the cameraman that we don't need random lingering shots of Rob Howley looking bored in the hospitality box when we'd really like to see the action going on the pitch? Thanks.

Mon Blooz!

Halfpenny is great at beating a man, unfortunately he hasn't yet learnt to run without falling over.

Im sure it will come...he is only little.

Halfapee did well to get to that, but then he's pinged and it's another penalty to Glasgae.

Penalty taken 0-6 for Horne.

0 - 6

Regarding that 1/2p holding on...;

I don't think that refs are reffing actions anymore, they seem to be reffing situation...

1/2p on his own, 3 glasgow defenders must be holding on, never mind that the tackler never lets go and wraps 1/2p up illegally and the other 2 come in and lie on top of the two players.

Another penalty to Glasgow

Good grief...another penalty to Glasgae and Horne's going for the posts again.

0-9 after 28 minutes.

Again another perfectly legal turnover pinged by the ref.

Every glasgow ruck clearence is in from the side!!!!

And now a warning for the blues for giving away 3 pens in totally different circumstances in their 22!!!

Marian just got a try for Leinster, converted by Sexton

17-11 to Leinster

Love Strauss' ball carrying - him V Denton in the 1872 is going to be epic!

Note the deep faith shown in Glasgow's fly half in keeping the scoreboard ticking over... Bring back the Meatball with all rapidity.

Blues are giving this game away.

Is this the worst Blues side in 10 years against a pretty average Glasgow side.

Yep. They're lucky that Glasgow aren't on the ball with try opportunities or they'd have a bonus point by now!

Looks like a serious injury to a Glasgae player. He's going to be stretchered off. Knocked out by the looks. Hit his head on a shoulder. He's sat up though.
