Discuss.

Always quite interested to know why fans don't start their own match threads.

Anyone else watching? Quite enjoying it.

6-12 Munster if anyone's interested.

Slightly frustrated with all the unnecessary penalties,

Amorisino is such a good signing, hope we can nail him to a longer contract

Looks just about flat to me,

We need this,

Amorisino's pace will be sooooo useful this season.

First of many no doubt in his first start

This guy is a magician.

Admittedly I only saw that final pass once, and I'd like to see it again, but it looked absolutely miles forward to me.

It might be the angle of the camera. I'm reserving judgment.

This is much better from Cardiff. The welsh regions really starting to perform now.

Thought it was on first view, but on the replay is was flat enough to be 'not clear and obvious'

Filo Paulo didn't quite fancy tackling Copeland here, Blues lucky not to concede a try.

Also, I'm watching this on the blurriest, most muddy stream imaginable, possibly filmed from someone's 10-inch telly with a boiled potato for a camera.

Vosawai is starting to turn this team around by himself to be honest, the powerful runs keep the team on the front foot on the pitch and mentally - it's what Xavier Rush did for years.

Vosawai and Amorisino look to be excellent signing,

Turnball, Jones and Hoeta have been average,

the rest have been disasters which is why Hammett is already starting to clear the dross,

Just need Anscombe to fit into the first category and we could have a team

This could be a costly miss.

Great intensity from the Blues but it remains to be seen if they can keep it up.

Vosawai is going to be knackered come 60 mins :/

Have PMd you mine, squire. Although it might be the one you've just described.

Good game so far. Cardiff a bit unlucky to be 4pts down.

Cheers GC, you outstanding specimen of knightly virtue.

Jaysus - Ieuan Evans used to be one of my heroes.

Now he looks like the oldfeller who used to stand outside the Greggs in Ayr with a sandwich paper shouting "look out, it's a bomb" at passers-by.

Some of our defence has been woeful...Cardiff probably should be ahead.

One thing that is pleasing is that in this game and last nights (Ospreys, Connacht) the reffing has been consistent at least...

Agree, ref has been surprisingly good

I've often wondered why the new CAP pitch has such a small in-goal area.

Surely it has to be a disadvantage at times? - like just there when the Blues were trying to kick clear. I know that the law doesn't prescribe a minimum space for this, but does anyone know why it's so teeny. Not that size is everything, as my wife keeps telling me for some reason.

Vosawai is immense.

Poor decision by Lloyd Williams again,

his form has improved and he is bringing good pace, but some errors in his distribution

Our defence is going soft again...need to increase the line speed. Cardiff already getting on top in attack....even more so than the first half.

Quality of the performance is good, but we really, really, really need the W

Dont we all...

Come on Adam Jones

Oh my god - these mistakes are killing the Blues.

So frustrating, we just need the lead then i'll be happier.

Trouble here.....we just cant get out of the half...

Vosawai!!!

MOTM already,

Legend

Need to keep up the pressure now

Gah...bad mistake...Smith should have been defending the OH channel for that.

Boom!!

One of the best ball carrying display i have seen in recent times.

Xavier Rush 2.0

Yep another stupid penalty

That is why Dan Fish is slipping down the pecking order

Fish.

All that pressure for 25 minutes, as soon as we get the score we give them back the territory and possession

Worst lineout ever in an attacking position

That's not true, at least Munster got the ball

Complete luck

Scrum penalty and three points...bet?

edit...scratch that...

Arrrgggggg

Should have been pen Blues on the 1st scrum..

Not bad try Adam Jones!

It was straight at least

That would have been one of the greatest drop goal ever!!

Zinzan Brooke gutted that one didn't go over.

Could see that happening from the camera angle....

STUPID STUPID STUPID
