Henson draws in biggest Blues crowd ever.

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 7:42 pm

Must be at least 2,000 there tonight. That has got to be a record.

Henson's first touch in competitive rugby for 4 months leads to the worst pass ever. Go Gav!

by Cari Fri Dec 23, 2011 7:44 pm

Nevermind that, have you seen who's in the crowd? Must be half of the original Nativity cast there....

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 7:49 pm

I saw FOUR wise men!

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 7:51 pm

Hell of a missile from Gav then shame it didn't make touch.

by gowales Fri Dec 23, 2011 7:56 pm

Already seen 4 or 5 instances of poor officiating. Its going to be a long night.

by mckay1402 Fri Dec 23, 2011 7:57 pm

two questions. why has Jenkins gone off and what was the minutes silence for?

That's because the original three couldn't count Henson draws in biggest Blues crowd ever. 3602195817

Gav is looking pale isn't he?

by Knowsit17 Fri Dec 23, 2011 7:59 pm

When's the last time Laulala failed from that range?

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:00 pm

I don't know. I don't understand the commentary gobbledygook.I hate listening to it in Welsh. Considering only the Scarlets are in a semi Welsh speaking area it's ridiculous.

The quality on some of this rugby is atrocious. Awful passing from Evans and a dire kick off from Tovey etc etc..

by Smirnoffpriest Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:01 pm

Theres some poor kicking in this match. I would think theres at least 8k there but disappointin theres not more ppl there - but I cant say anything I decided 2 watch it in the inlaws instead of goin down

by Cari Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:01 pm

Western - if you're watching on cable, Freeview or Sky press the red button for english commentary

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:02 pm

Gav is still infinitely more orange than the rest.

Laulau done well sucked in 3 men to free Cuffbutt for his try.

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:03 pm

Sorry I have been sneezing for 2 days straight and forgot I have alternate commentary on freeview. Doh!

Melon returns. Looks like Melon's melon was bleeding.

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:04 pm

Evans what a Holly Wilaboobie. Blatently trying to injure Henson.

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:05 pm

t-i-t

by Knowsit17 Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:05 pm

We seem to have unofficially dismissed kicking as an superficial part of the game in Wales! Shame considering both sides look barely above average with ball in hand.

by gowales Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:06 pm

Gosh i hate these commentators on s4c they're so negative especially Dai.

by gowales Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:07 pm

Rather listen to Stuart Barnes to be honest

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:07 pm

Can't wait to see CuffButt and North on the wings for Wales in the 6N although I like the idea of North at 13. Could really do with some pace there.

I could see JD2 at 12 and forcing Roberts onto the bench. Very impressed with JD2.

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:08 pm

Dai hates Henson. Always moaning on real radio sports phone in.

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:09 pm

Oh and I hate this ugly woman talking to the crowd. She is like a worse version of Phil Steele.

"AND SHANE WILLIAMS IS ABOUT TO BEAT 10 KIWI DEFENDERS TO SCORE THE GREATEST.... Sorry we have to go over to Phil Steele he's about to speak to...

by glamorganalun Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:12 pm

Sweeny is getting the back line moving everytime the Blues are in attack, the Dragons need to take their points just like the penalty, 3 points.

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:12 pm

Orquera scored 9 penalties for Aironi!

Is that a league record?

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:13 pm

I'm sure Xavier Rush and Shane Williams have the same brain.

Sweeney never played for Wales enough and was very under rated. He has a lot of skill and was never utilised correctly.

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:15 pm

Hell of a kick from Cuffbutt. Good to see more wings kicking well.

by glamorganalun Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:20 pm

This is going to be a stuffing with Sweeney and Williams at 9 and 10

by gowales Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:21 pm

Sweeney is having a great influence on the Blues back line. I think this game shows why they never should have signed Parks.

by westernosprey Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:22 pm

Anyone else think Bob Norster looks like Vigo from Ghostbusters 2?

by glamorganalun Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:26 pm

There is something strange!

by maestegmafia Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:37 pm

There's some smurfs...! I guess they must be Blues fans...

by glamorganalun Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:39 pm

Should have been a yellow there

by Knowsit17 Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:40 pm

Lucky for Sweeney, definite late shoulder thrust that one...

by gowales Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:42 pm

Henson's having a good game not the disaster some were predicting

by glamorganalun Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:45 pm

Another yellow

by glamorganalun Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:46 pm

"not given against the Blues players"

by gowales Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:48 pm

Great run from Faletau there and an even better tackle by Henson to stop him.

by Knowsit17 Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:49 pm

Spot of Faletau at his best.

by Knowsit17 Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:51 pm

How many more kicks do they want to not put out? Choke after choke with ball out of hand!

by glamorganalun Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:53 pm

Home touch judge, rubbish call by the touch judge what is Jones supposed to do when someone runs at him! At least the ref seems fair (apart from possible yellow cards).

by glamorganalun Fri Dec 23, 2011 8:58 pm

Game really opening up some great play by both teams, Henson is looking really good he needs to get move involved his passing is opening up the Dragons defence.

by Cari Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:00 pm

J-Ro is crocked Sad

by Knowsit17 Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:01 pm

Oh dear, Roberts can't seem to catch a break...is he off or on? I missed the last few seconds writing this.

by Cari Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:02 pm

Off, and he looks gutted.

by glamorganalun Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:03 pm

Another posssible yellow against the Blues, Rees was lucky there.

by glamorganalun Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:07 pm

Lydiate has been like a cart horse all night with the ball in hand.

by welshy824 Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:09 pm

lydiate is so underrated- i would say he is the most underrated back row player in the world tbh

by glamorganalun Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:10 pm

Parks is on kick, kick and more kicking.

by Cari Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:11 pm

Superb try!!!

28 - 9 before conversion.

by welshy824 Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:11 pm

leigh halfpenny sounds like he is having an immense game- listening to it on the radio

by Knowsit17 Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:12 pm

Excellent by Halfpenny, that's what to do in broken play!
