The Blues went into this game on the back of an excellent away performance at Munster. I expected the home side to win, it was just a question of whether they could score four tries to get the bonus point. The first half turned out to be one of the most one-sided games I've seen for a long time. From the moment Jamie Roberts crossed for the first try the Blues never looked like losing. Connacht were awful and the homeside played well to create a number of good tries through the backs and forwards. It got even worse for Connacht with ten minutes to go before half time when they were reduced to 14 men thanks to a sin-binning. The Blues ran roit before half time and managed to score seven tries in total in the the first half. It was actually a bit boring when the Blues ran in their seventh try.
In the second half things changed abit. The domination of possession was still with the home side but they only managed to score two tries. Connacht found the resolve to defend though failed to score themselves. A comprehensive victory. Enjoyable in parts but too one-sided for me.
My man of the match: Jamie Roberts.
