United Rugby Championship

Cardiff winning a fairly evenly contested match against Edinburgh is a small improvement on last season. We've beaten the poorest teams from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and South Africa, and arguably should have got more from the Munster game. The thing that worries ne though, is they aren't improving. If anything, the cutting edge, and free flowing style of play seems to be disappearing from their game. That leads me to assume they'll fall away when the going gets hot later in the season. Zebra next I belief. We'll need to give them a good rogering and come away with max points to give us a chance of finishing in the ranks of the glorious.

At the other end of the table, things will get easier for the Ospreys and the Scarlets.

Meanwhile the lack of confidence at the dragons continues. You would have expected one of the two last kicks to have gone through.

But great resilience to fight back.

My God how did the Ospreys not win that . . . and in fact get lucky that de Beer missed 2 kicks which would have nicked the result at the end. Sutton not passing ffs.

I think we must be setting the record for scrum penalties at the moment. If we can fix that, we could be in a whole different situation.
