It's not often a team concedes 2 tries, scores none and ends up winning but that's what happened to Cardiff in this game. It was a strange game. The Blues seemed to have alot of possession though they couldn't quite break the excellent Biarritz defence. The French team are currently struggling in their domestic competition but they showed admirable resistance on a cold night at the Arms Park. The first try came from turnover ball and the French backs finished off a neat move down the wing. In the second half Biarritz once again breached the home defence with a slightly soft try. The Biarritz outside half ran through some weak midfield defence to score under the posts. The Blues were definitely missing the injured centre Jamie Roberts.
Cardiff despite not scoring a try were never out of the game and picked up penalties and Nicky Robinson slotted two drop kicks. The French will probably wonder how they lost. The Blues were just pleased to scrape a win.
My man of the match: Ben Blair.
