The first thing noticeable about the Blues is the lack of new players. They’ve signed Ceri Sweeney from the Dragons and that's it. Hardly the most exciting player to bring in, though it does at least offer cover in the no.10 shirt for which they were lacking last season.
The Blues will look back on this game as one they should have won. They controlled most of the game and managed to play more free flowing rugby than Leinster. Jamie Roberts played at 12 for the Blues and he was effective on the crash ball. The experiment of playing him at inside centre should run for a few months at least.
Leinster never really looked like creating a try. They scored a lucky try in the second half when a high kick rebounded off a Blues wing to enable Leinster's full back an easy run in.
My man of the match: Andy Powell. Had an excellent game for the Blues at number 8. Covering for the injured Rush, he was energetic and helped the Blues establish a forward dominance.
