Following Cardiff RFC all over from sunny Bournemouth in Blue and Black
I'm a little concerned about that pack.... and the Mustoe/Simpson-Daniel battle will be fun (not) - as an aside, how is he not in the England Squad??
I shall shout loud from the Stand - surrounded by cheery & whites, no doubt!

Is that a Freudian slip or is it that you've given up already ?

Why do we play in this compediation we dp not take it serious at all what is thev point od it all ....none as fae as I can see
Money ?
Plus of course it is a run out for the second stringers, unfortunately our second stringers aren't as good as most of the sides.
But ay least they're consistent - P3 W0 L3 Pts 9, That's 3 per game.
Still no tries for.
Attendance: 13,099 for that Gloucester match, I reckon they'll be lucky to get 3,000 next Sunday 1pm for the Harliquens LV Match even if kids to free,mind you it did kick off at 3pm on a Saturday which is a rarity nowadays,next Sunday would have been ideal to play at Arms Park as per Ospreys playing at the Brewery Field, I would definatly go but I won't go to the CCS to rattle around in a soulles empty cold 28,000 seater stadium, I still follow Cardiff RFC at CAP and the atmosphere there despite the smaller crowds is still much better than CCS
Yes - good crowd at Kingsholm yesterday.....a decent atmosphere for a change - something we haven't seen at home now since movng from CAP.Cardiff Boos absolutely outplayed in every department.
Ben Blair had a mare of a game too with dire kicking - nearly all straight to the opposing team.Scrums pushed around at willLineout appallingToo many unforced errors, a lot of the time from giving away possession from kicking it straight back to them
The ONLY positive was that we were leading until the 8th minute!
Wish we'd been at the CAP for what sounded like a much better game.

Proper rugby ground at Gloucester makes all the difference

Isn't this a bit harsh considering he hasn't played for (15?) months?
