That’s a decent injury list after only a
Couple of games!

Cardiff 6-3 up and are having the best of the game but so many little mistakes. Plenty of chances but the more they keep churning over the ball so easily the more the Lions will fancy this.

[UKHamlet]

Jarrod is playing badly. His assets are his running game and passing, but he's utilising neither. Quite frankly he's not had a good game for a while. Perhaps it's time to look elsewhere.

[UKHamlet]

We're conceding far too many pens

[UKHamlet]

Easy try for the Lions. The yellow card is paying dividends

[Sandydragon]

We're conceding far too many pens

Yep. It will be another yellow in a moment. Starting to look a bit worrying.

[UKHamlet]

Mwamba is a cheating little cnt too

[Sandydragon]

They need to move Priestland to ten.

And Mwamba is a cheating little fucker. Wouldn’t be out of place in soccer.

[Sandydragon]

Lions starting to pull away. Looks a bit ominous

[UKHamlet]

Unfuckinbelievable. Cardiff need shooting

[Sandydragon]

Bloody hell. WTF is wrong with Cardiff.

[Sandydragon]

Unfuckinbelievable. Cardiff need shooting

Admittedly the Lions got the luck of the bounce there, but where’s the commitment. Cardiff players look knackered and unmotivated.

[Sandydragon]

Much more of that and Young is toast.

[UKHamlet]

You have to wonder where Cardiff go from here. They just don't look cohesive. The Lions stepped up a gear when they needed to and Cardiff couldn't cope. In the first half when Cardiff were dominating possession they should have made it pay, but there was no one who looked likely to make a line break in the red zone. As for Jarrod, he had an absolute mare. I don't think Priestland is the answer, he's too predictable. We need someone who can control the game effectively.
