and it was freezing. Cardiff needed that 4th bonus point try to put pressure on Connaght. It must be a worrying time for the other regions wondering who will be wound up to allow Cardiff into the HC

Suffering 'flu, so a spoiler might not be forthcoming.
True a lot of errors, but the lads did well against what was admittedly an understrength Ulster. Worried about Shanks - it might be ligament. Czekaj (good Welsh name that - in the Toshack mould), is someone I believe I tipped for the top not long after the Wales U21 victory England in the other Grand Slam campaign (yes, we won two!). Despite the magnificent seven struggling to come to terms with Dai Young's conservative tactics after revelling in the national side's adventurism, it was a pretty convincing win - 3 tries to 1, 22-8 is good scoreline for Blues fans starved of success. Fewer errors and Cardiff might have had five or six tries in a game that looked what it was; a scrappy, end of season tussle between two of the worst teams in the Celtic League... almost bad enough to be a ZP match.
Man of the match Martyn Williams was superb once again. Anyone who thinks that ageing barrel of lard at Leicester deserves a place ahead of Williams is clearly demented.
