:00:35. > :00:39.They are within touching distance of the top four. They face fourth-

:00:52. > :01:00.stars. The tension is mounting. There is all to play for. It is a

:01:07. > :01:12.one of the last 14 games in the RaboDirect PRO12. Good evening and

:01:17. > :01:24.It is tied at the top, seven teams are vying for the top four places.
:01:24. > :01:30.It is a big ask for the Blues. Glasgow would be the favoured side.
:01:30. > :01:38.They do play some good rugby. They beat the Osprey is quite
:01:38. > :01:41.convincingly. A matured performance. It is going to be tough for the
:01:41. > :01:47.Blues tonight. It is going to be tough to beat them on their home
:01:47. > :01:56.patch. The Blues can call on a number of star players. Who are the
:01:56. > :02:02.key men for you? The backers there are exciting. It all depends on the
:02:02. > :02:10.pack. It is a very young front five. A few changes in the back row as
:02:10. > :02:14.well. As Shane said, they are on a great run of form. The national
:02:14. > :02:19.side hasn't found that knack of winning, but they have, so if they
:02:19. > :02:23.can get on a good platform in the front, that back line could win it
:02:23. > :02:29.for the Blues. It is a game they have to win. If they don't win,
:02:29. > :02:34.they can say goodbye to the play- offs. A keen night for Bradley
:02:34. > :02:39.Williams. This is what happened against Ireland at the start of the
:02:39. > :02:44.Six Nations. A chance for redemption tonight. And possibly
:02:44. > :02:49.the captaincy with responsibilities. A rush of blood, he was lucky it
:02:50. > :02:54.wasn't a red card because it was a yellow, depending on the referee,
:02:54. > :03:02.it could have been read. He knew that, he said it all week in the

:23:58. > :24:06.the players. It could have just bounced off the grass. Does he have
:24:06. > :24:15.control? That is a try. I think he just about got there before he lost
:24:15. > :24:24.it. As bangers there is contacting him the floor and the arm then it
:24:24. > :24:34.should be a try. It all came from the Cardiff Blues scrum on the

:24:46. > :24:53.
:24:53. > :24:59.angle. I would give that. He is taking his time. The try is awarded
:25:00. > :25:03.by Jim Yuille. Glasgow take the lead. To be fair to Glasgow, they
:25:03. > :25:07.have looked the most dangerous side in this opening period. They
:25:07. > :25:12.probably deserve the try for the pressure they put on the Cardiff
:25:12. > :25:22.Blues. It is still early doors. Cardiff Blues need to settle down a
:25:22. > :25:48.
:25:48. > :25:58.little bit and play in the right tough night it is going to the for
:25:58. > :26:23.
:26:23. > :26:26.too long. We have yet to see Casey Laulala or touch the ball. It is
:26:26. > :26:34.cut to be a huge loss for the Cardiff Blues next season without
:26:34. > :26:44.him. He creates everything. Alastair Kellock delivers the line-
:26:44. > :26:44.
:26:44. > :26:54.out ball. A lovely offload. It has gone forward. Great work by Colin
:26:54. > :27:07.

:29:33. > :29:50.
:29:50. > :29:56.had. But it went over to Mamma again stop -- in Scarlets. The
:29:56. > :30:04.Dragons at half-time are training 19-9. Elsewhere, Ulster a leading
:30:04. > :30:12.Aironi. Not great news for any of the Welsh
:30:12. > :30:17.clubs. The Scarlets were in the airport at the same time as Cardiff.
:30:17. > :30:22.Their flight was delayed. It has not upset their preparations too
:30:22. > :30:32.much. But it is not the start they would have wanted because it is so
:30:32. > :30:36.
:30:36. > :30:46.tight at the top. The battle for the minor places is on. The Blues
:30:46. > :30:51.are in 7th with 45, then Scarlets on 50, Ulster on 50, Glasgow 51,
:30:51. > :30:59.Ospreys 53 and Leinster ahead on 56. And they are home and dry, pretty
:30:59. > :31:09.much guaranteed. That tackle was pretty high on

:31:09. > :32:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 63 seconds
:32:13. > :32:22.there, he is a recognised kicker. A was a decent touch. A lot of space,
:32:22. > :32:32.a decent kick. It just bounced out. It was pretty tight. A very good
:32:32. > :32:37.kick. Putting more pressure on the Blues defence. They have been
:32:37. > :32:47.winning their line-outs, but they have not been getting a clean ball,
:32:47. > :32:47.
:32:47. > :33:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 63 seconds
:33:45. > :33:52.and they cannot utilise the back Murchie. A great tackle. That was
:33:52. > :33:57.Navidi, and good defence. It was on wide. As a winger, when you step in,
:33:57. > :34:07.you have got to make a tackle otherwise it is going to be more
:34:07. > :34:07.
:34:07. > :34:13.than likely a try. Has not had many games for the Blues, Jamie Roberts,
:34:13. > :34:19.with a few injuries, but he had a great Six Nations. He has got to be
:34:19. > :34:29.on form for next weekend. This is April, this is his first league
:34:29. > :35:06.
:35:06. > :35:13.start of the season. For one game centre, Hogg, it didn't get
:35:13. > :35:18.anywhere. Scott Andrews might have had a chance for and intercept. It
:35:18. > :35:28.went over the top of his head. He doesn't find himself in that
:35:28. > :35:35.
:35:35. > :35:45.kick the ball back to the Blues now. They need to build momentum and
:35:45. > :35:55.pressure. Halfpenny, he has been in the game a lot. But a lot of his
:35:55. > :36:26.
:36:26. > :36:36.kicks are going down to a position Weir. He did well. He bounced off
:36:36. > :36:39.
:36:39. > :36:43.the knee. But he is very elusive. Dan Parks was saying that since
:36:43. > :36:50.Thom Evans came onto the scene, he has never seen another player with
:36:50. > :36:56.the raw pace and elusiveness of Alex Cuthbert. His nickname, the
:36:56. > :37:01.Blues, they have been calling him rags to riches. He has come from
:37:01. > :37:07.nowhere, driving a Renault Clio, then winning end up -- winning a
:37:07. > :37:11.Grand Slam, and upgrade into a cabriolet car. You never know, of
:37:11. > :37:16.the way he is doing, he may need their left-hand drive before long!
:37:16. > :37:25.I do not know what you are trying to save.
:37:25. > :37:29.The Glasgow coach, it is interesting before kick-off, the
:37:29. > :37:34.Sean Lineen, he is going to take charge of the Scotland Under 20s,

:40:46. > :40:59.

:41:09. > :41:20.
:41:21. > :41:28.That was Chris Cusiter, very good player. Without him at the base,
:41:28. > :41:36.directing the scrum, they would be half the team they are. Only
:41:36. > :41:46.Leinster have lost fewer games than Glasgow in the league. That is
:41:46. > :42:08.
:42:08. > :42:18.some blood. They have been told to get on without him. He joins the
:42:18. > :42:38.
:42:38. > :42:46.line-out late. The referee, referee's us know. Glasgow let off,
:42:46. > :42:56.let the Blues former drive. Did the protector get too far of the ball-

:43:32. > :43:53.
:43:53. > :44:00.like a Cheshire cat all week. It gives them a chance to stake his
:44:00. > :44:05.claim for the Heineken Cup next weekend. He would be extremely

:44:15. > :44:40.
:44:40. > :44:50.former team, you tend to play well ground like this. It is not easy to
:44:50. > :44:50.
:44:50. > :44:58.hit the hole as initially. -- holes initially. They could not control
:44:59. > :45:08.it. Lovely footwork from Casey Laulala. The offload just did not
:45:09. > :45:21.
:45:21. > :45:31.stick. Only as far as a Leigh this a chance for. Or is it a kick
:45:31. > :45:31.
:45:31. > :45:38.to the corner? It is not the easiest. With looks like the
:45:39. > :45:45.Cardiff Blues will try to take the points. He just could not get his

:51:00. > :51:03.at half-time, the Cardiff Blues are looking at survival. They would try
:51:03. > :51:13.to get back into this but they have an awful lot of work to do. The
:51:13. > :51:22.
:51:22. > :51:32.The Cardiff Blues struggled to find any fluency early on. The pressure
:51:32. > :51:33.
:51:33. > :51:43.eventually told. Duncan Weir stretched the lead with a penalty.
:51:43. > :51:51.
:51:51. > :52:01.At half-time, 10-0. Glasgow edge on They have not been in the game to
:52:01. > :52:05.be honest. Glasgow have dominated. The Glasgow forwards have been in
:52:05. > :52:11.carrying the ball well and the offload. They should be further in
:52:11. > :52:14.front because they had opportunities which they have flown.
:52:14. > :52:20.What is your general impression of the first half? Glasgow have
:52:20. > :52:25.dominated the game. The only consolation for all the Cardiff
:52:25. > :52:29.Blues so far is that there are only 10 points down. The forwards are
:52:29. > :52:33.playing some great rugby. The Cardiff Blues defensive line is
:52:33. > :52:36.very lethargic. There is no rush at all and it is allowing the of
:52:36. > :52:44.floats and the tackle which is killing the Cardiff Blues at the
:52:44. > :52:51.moment. A couple of spurned opportunities for Glasgow. Both of
:52:51. > :53:01.you have eluded to those chances. This is the first round. You have
:53:01. > :53:06.
:53:06. > :53:15.the de Miranda. This is a miss-pass. Another missed chance. What happens
:53:15. > :53:25.next? Just the offload. He go slow on the Op -- outside. But there is
:53:25. > :53:29.
:53:29. > :53:35.a know where pass again. They are targeting a particular area?
:53:35. > :53:40.they do not scored this try I do not know. That run was a massive
:53:40. > :53:46.miss. As soon as that it happened, the defence was short so they
:53:46. > :53:49.blitzed. They might have stopped and pushed. If you are short and
:53:49. > :53:56.you blitzed and you do not get it, you are in big trouble. There was
:53:56. > :54:03.an overlap there and we both said it was a try. You are taught that
:54:03. > :54:06.in school at 11 years of age. It is to a guest when have you put the
:54:06. > :54:15.winger in the corner. As a professional player, it is
:54:15. > :54:21.unforgivable. That was a chance and they should be seven points further
:54:21. > :54:26.ahead. They should be further in front because they dominated the
:54:26. > :54:36.whole first half. Another area they demonstrate -- they dominated his
:54:36. > :54:41.
:54:41. > :54:47.the scrum. -- is the scrum. whole front row goes out. How
:54:47. > :54:53.difficult is that for Lloyd Williams and for Maama Molitika or.
:54:53. > :55:03.They go down. You can see how strong their art by the fact they
:55:03. > :55:13.took a scrum after a scrum. As Shane Williams mentioned, the speed
:55:13. > :55:14.
:55:14. > :55:21.is slow. Because of the lack of speed of the try-line, the momentum
:55:21. > :55:27.took Jamie Roberts over. If you like speed was quicker, they could
:55:27. > :55:30.have tackled short of the line. But there are lethargic. They do not
:55:31. > :55:37.know if there blitzing or drifting. They are being cut to pieces at the
:55:37. > :55:46.moment. The Cardiff Blues were expecting a tough and aggressive
:55:46. > :55:54.defence. They did very well there. Jamie Roberts is a big guy. If he
:55:55. > :56:04.will commit yourself to a tackle, you have to commit 100%. They to be
:56:05. > :56:12.
:56:12. > :56:17.more physical in the contact area. Let us cross to Firhill. Welcome to
:56:17. > :56:24.the programme. Glasgow had an excellent season and there in pole

:56:31. > :56:37.the flag for Scotland Kazakh it is hugely influential for us to finish
:56:37. > :56:46.in the top four. One of the issues we have is a player drain. You seem
:56:46. > :56:56.to have the opposite in Scotland. There has been a massive change in

:00:27. > :00:32.Burley. I am looking forward to it. It has been a long time. It is my
:00:32. > :00:37.second game of the year, but I have been training with the guys anyway,
:00:38. > :00:43.and hopefully I will be fit enough. An important game because you were
:00:43. > :00:48.currently third, but a win would take you back to second. That means
:00:48. > :00:55.a home semi-final. Yes, an important time in the RaboDirect
:00:55. > :01:00.PRO12. And home games are important. And Treviso are important, they
:01:00. > :01:07.have played a lot of rugby, they have scored the most tries. It is
:01:07. > :01:12.going to be a nice, open game for me. And hopefully my legs will cope.
:01:12. > :01:21.The referee for tomorrow, what sort of reception will he get? I am not
:01:21. > :01:26.sure. What is done is done. Get on with it. I hope he has a hostile
:01:26. > :01:33.reception. On the back of the lens to win, a fantastic win for the
:01:33. > :01:37.Ospreys. That should give a momentum for the end of the season.
:01:37. > :01:42.It would be great if the Ospreys could have a home draw in the play-

:02:32. > :02:37.RedZone. We cross back to Firhill. Thank you. No changes to either
:02:37. > :02:45.side during the interval. 40 minutes for the Blues. To try to
:02:45. > :02:51.keep their hopes alive. They want to be in the last stages of the
:02:51. > :02:56.RaboDirect PRO12 League, and they have got a huge game at Leinster at
:02:56. > :03:02.the Heineken Cup, so they need some momentum for that. But they are
:03:03. > :03:12.concentrating on the job in hand for the next 40 minutes. Was this
:03:13. > :03:13.
:03:13. > :03:23.knocked on? No, it is going to be a line-out. I thought that was a
:03:23. > :04:01.
:04:01. > :04:08.knock-on. Lucky for the Blues. It of the Blues are keeping it in hand,
:04:08. > :04:18.doing just enough. And they go as any chance of developing any

:04:21. > :04:29.further. -- they goes. Let's have a look at this. Maybe he came around
:04:29. > :04:35.the back. That has been the difference between the two sides.
:04:35. > :04:40.Glasgow do not seem to be making too many mistakes whilst the Blues,
:04:40. > :04:50.on the other hand, have been. There is plenty of quality in this Blues
:04:50. > :05:09.
:05:09. > :05:19.team. They can easily outscored about the attacks of Glasgow. They
:05:19. > :05:19.
:05:19. > :06:06.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 63 seconds

:06:39. > :06:46.
:06:46. > :06:54.are camped on the try-line. The The Blues slow it down but can they
:06:54. > :07:01.keep them out? And there comes the try. It had to come, really, such
:07:01. > :07:08.was the pressure from the Blues. And it is Ryan Wilson. His second
:07:08. > :07:17.try. A lot of pressure on the Blues. Difficult to stop someone like that
:07:17. > :07:23.in their tracks. All stemmed from a penalty. If we look, there you go,
:07:23. > :07:31.you have got the number eight look -- running at a number 15, and only
:07:31. > :07:35.one winner. It was sensible of Cusiter to pick out the mismatch.
:07:35. > :07:41.They were just so patient, going through the faces, keeping hold of
:07:41. > :07:48.the ball. There is a great sense of urgency. They wanted and they do it
:07:48. > :07:53.at a greater pace. And that is the end result. It will be interesting
:07:53. > :07:58.to see the offloads statistics. They seem to get through the tackle
:07:58. > :08:08.and offload. It stops the Blues resetting their defence because
:08:08. > :08:12.they are always on the back foot. Duncan Weir adds the extra. It is
:08:12. > :08:17.17-0, with a real mountain facing the Blues. How are the other teams
:08:17. > :08:21.getting on? The Coke shop the Blues, what is
:08:21. > :08:26.the best way of getting back? Maintaining possession and playing
:08:26. > :08:32.in the right area. Stopping them from going forward. Is their
:08:32. > :08:38.defence causing you a problem? is, but we are lacking our own
:08:38. > :08:48.going forward. That is the problem. We are not holding the ball. But do

:09:21. > :09:29.experienced players up front. Sam Warburton, Xavier Rush, Gethin
:09:29. > :09:34.Jenkins. They are struggling. and it is telling in the scrums. As
:09:34. > :09:36.Justin said, you cannot write them off because they have some quality
:09:36. > :09:46.players on the field and it is about maintaining possession more
:09:46. > :10:03.
:10:03. > :10:13.than anything and cutting out Treviso and the Ospreys looking
:10:13. > :10:18.like they will try to leapfrog over Glasgow. And then Scrum V on Sunday,
:10:18. > :10:22.5:30pm, bringing all the weekend's highlights and seeing exactly what
:10:22. > :10:32.the situation is with only three games remaining before the play-

:11:27. > :11:34.defenders. They were off the line bit? It is certainly picking up
:11:34. > :11:40.pace. A forward pass claimed, and given. That has been the story for
:11:40. > :11:48.the blows. A quick ball, six men to the right against thaw mac Glasgow
:11:48. > :11:58.defenders. A shame, that, because all the hard work they did up the

:22:47. > :22:57.not usually get a big man like him yelping out loud. I do not think

:23:27. > :23:32.His contribution has been pretty significant, Ryan Wilson. He has
:23:32. > :23:39.been responsible for both tries. He first run came after 50 minutes of
:23:39. > :23:46.the first half. Then four minutes into the second half, he eventually
:23:46. > :23:55.capitalised on all the pressure Glasgow had been piling on. Not a

:24:46. > :24:47.
:24:47. > :24:53.used. The Cardiff Blues need to be careful because there is a game --
:24:53. > :25:01.a big game next week. They do not want to be taking too many risks on

:25:44. > :25:59.
:25:59. > :26:03.for that it is difficult when you're out there as a player
:26:03. > :26:11.because you have to try and keep yourself up for the game. It might
:26:11. > :26:19.be worth trying to keep warm and doing some drills. If Jimmy was not
:26:19. > :26:29.available next weekend, would Dafydd Hewitt be the natural
:26:29. > :26:33.
:26:33. > :26:38.choice? The safer bet at the moment would be Dafydd Hewitt. Ever tend
:26:38. > :26:48.to go with him. It'll be interesting to see if Gavin Henson
:26:48. > :26:52.
:26:52. > :27:02.will come on. With Dafydd Hewitt, you know exactly what you will get.
:27:02. > :27:03.

:34:21. > :34:27.An easy conversion for Ruaridh Jackson. Now, Glasgow are
:34:27. > :34:37.definitely hunting a bonus point. Dunbar has not looked very good all
:34:37. > :34:39.
:34:39. > :34:48.game, to be further. But a great finish. 21 points, the Blues have
:34:48. > :34:56.to claw back. Before the injury to Wilson, they
:34:56. > :35:03.had the best passages of play throughout the game. It is a shame.
:35:03. > :35:08.It was. It has been in patches. Not for long enough periods. As you
:35:08. > :35:14.said, the quality is there. They just need to keep hold of the ball
:35:14. > :35:21.more than anything and make less mistakes. Gavin Hanson will get his
:35:21. > :35:31.chance. He is coming on for the final 15 minutes. He is replacing

:35:39. > :35:47.Alex Cuthbert. He is going on the He has not had much this season. He

:39:23. > :39:29.Blues defence came right up to stop the past. The only option was to
:39:29. > :39:34.smash. The Blues tried to play out of their own half. Just one defeat
:39:34. > :39:41.in the last 14 for Glasgow. That was against the Scarlets in January.
:39:41. > :39:47.After a shaky start to the season, just one defeat since then. It is

:39:57. > :41:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 63 seconds
:41:12. > :41:19.are staying there by the look of it. because John Barclay has been

:41:29. > :41:30.
:41:30. > :41:37.shouting he was out. That was great play by the referee. But Moitika,
:41:37. > :41:43.both players were head down. It only takes a small knock on your
:41:44. > :41:51.head and you are out. Another injury in this game. It has been
:41:51. > :42:01.fairly brutal in that respect. have got to be very careful, any
:42:01. > :42:08.knock to the head, they have to be very careful indeed and it is a
:42:08. > :42:13.shame for John Barclay. Let's go down to pitch side.
:42:13. > :42:23.A real good game at Murrayfield. Edinburgh leading the Scarlets. The
:42:23. > :42:25.
:42:25. > :42:33.Scarlets did come back to 23-23, some great games there. -- so a
:42:33. > :42:38.great game. It is 26-23, the Scarlets are right
:42:38. > :42:45.back in there. They are on a good run. We wins and three bonus points
:42:45. > :42:55.in the last three games. -- three wins. Along with the delay at the
:42:55. > :43:13.
:43:13. > :43:18.lying motionless. The physio signalled for the stretch of
:43:18. > :43:22.straight away. The referee knew straight away. Even though the ball
:43:22. > :43:28.was in play, he stopped the game immediately because there is always
:43:28. > :43:38.the potential it was going to be a serious injury. Player welfare must
:43:38. > :43:50.
:43:50. > :43:55.come first. Let's hope he is all for Glasgow. He is replacing
:43:55. > :44:03.Cusiter, crew has had a great game. He has directed play very well. He
:44:03. > :44:13.will be happy with his performance tonight. I think Cusiter is still
:44:13. > :44:15.
:44:15. > :44:23.on third. He may be replacing John Barclay because they are no more
:44:23. > :44:30.forwards. Who will go in the back row? You normally put your biggest
:44:30. > :44:36.player there, so it could be Dunbar. He has been impressive tonight.
:44:36. > :44:43.has. He has broken the line a few times. He looked hungry for the
:44:43. > :44:48.ball when it was in his hand. He is running hard. And he is getting
:44:48. > :44:53.through the tackles. The Blues will be very disappointed they have not
:44:53. > :44:58.been able to kind of bring the passion and pace that the Glasgow
:44:58. > :45:06.have brought. They have not been able to up the tempo that Glasgow
:45:06. > :45:16.have. No. They have a few times, but they are just making too many
:45:16. > :45:19.
:45:19. > :45:29.clean-cut opportunities. They have gone down there and they have
:45:29. > :45:43.
:45:43. > :45:45.They're getting rid of so many players. At that of the players
:45:46. > :45:53.know they were not be there next season under that of the players
:45:53. > :45:57.are injured. They have a huge game to come next week. There is
:45:57. > :46:02.pressure on everyone. As a player leaving, they want to make sure
:46:02. > :46:11.they represent themselves well. The boys leaving have been there for a
:46:11. > :46:17.long time and they do not want to end on a low. A couple of lovely
:46:17. > :46:27.tries from Ryan Wilson before he went off. Then Alex Dunbar. Another
:46:27. > :46:34.
:46:34. > :46:38.lovely angle. Looking for support. A nice try by Chris Fusaro. The can
:46:38. > :46:42.see how long it takes to get a player of to make sure they are
:46:42. > :46:49.secure in the structure. If it is something to do with the neck, you
:46:49. > :46:56.have to be so careful. The way things stand at the moment, the all
:46:56. > :47:01.important games, Leinster far and away and looked to have secured
:47:01. > :47:08.their home fixture. Munster have not played tonight was a Ospreys
:47:08. > :47:13.play tomorrow night. At the moment, it looks like Ulster will be and 55
:47:13. > :47:17.and Glasgow will also be on 55. The Scarlets are sitting on a losing
:47:17. > :47:27.bonus point at the moment. They are just in touch with that group. The
:47:27. > :47:29.
:47:29. > :47:35.Cardiff Blues are on 45 and looked to have lost too much ground.
:47:35. > :47:44.they lose this one, it is hard to get back into the play-offs. But
:47:44. > :47:47.look behind them at the Dragons, everyone wants to play in the
:47:47. > :47:52.Heineken Cup. It is a huge competition. It is the best
:47:52. > :48:00.competition we have in the northern hemisphere. It is the close this
:48:00. > :48:07.thing a lot of players would get to international rugby. 10 minutes to
:48:07. > :48:10.go. 21 points. Three tries, it will be tough. They would definitely
:48:10. > :48:20.have to regroup and start thinking about next week which is the bigger
:48:20. > :48:20.
:48:21. > :48:29.picture. That will have to be their main focus. The final touches being
:48:29. > :48:32.put in place and everybody is ready to live together. The second player
:48:32. > :48:39.being stretchered off the field for Glasgow this evening. Sympathetic
:48:39. > :48:46.applause from the players, officials and the crowd. You'll be
:48:46. > :48:51.carried off this evening. As he said with Jamie Roberts, they let
:48:51. > :48:57.us hope it is not too bad a situation. The oxygen cylinder is
:48:57. > :49:04.out there. That is the more serious injury are we have seen this
:49:04. > :49:10.evening by the looks of it. I hope it is just a bang on the head and
:49:10. > :49:14.he recovers and be taken off as a precaution. It is always difficult
:49:14. > :49:24.to carry on when there has been a long stoppage and there have been a
:49:24. > :49:44.
:49:44. > :49:54.With also getting a bonus but against a Rowney, Glasgow needed
:49:54. > :50:03.
:50:03. > :50:13.closer to the line. A little bit more work to get to the try-line.

:55:22. > :55:30.good angle. A good finish by Colin Shaw. Good support by Glasgow. That
:55:30. > :55:39.is a bonus point. To be honest, they have looked the better team
:55:39. > :55:46.all through the game. As hard as it is for me to say, they probably
:55:46. > :55:51.deserve the bonus point. Roddy Jackson with the extra, not that
:55:51. > :55:56.they needed. They are way Clear and their dominance has been complete.

:58:27. > :58:33.positive the Cardiff Blues can take out is that they did not have too

:58:43. > :58:47.they have got. -- the only scare they have got. The Cardiff Blues
