MONPELLIER 23-22 BLUES
WILLEMSE TRY GIVES
MONPILIER LAST MINUTE WIN
Paul Willemse's last-gasp converted try for Montpellier
cruelly denied Cardiff Blues victory in the European Challenge Cup.
Alex Cuthbert crossed for the opening try and although
Julien Malzieu replied, Blues led at the break.
Blues defended heroically in the second half and were leading
with a minute remaining.
But Willemse scored from the very last move of the game and
Demetri Catrakilis converted to secure victory.
Normally the French sides don’t pay much attention to the Challenge
cup but I am glad to see that is changing and I hope that a French team goes
well in the competition this year.
GLOSTER 27-13 WOSTER
KVESIC TRY GIVES
GLOSTER BIG WIN
After
Laidlaw and Ryan Lamb exchanged early penalties, Ben Howard ran in a fine try
to give Warriors the lead.
Scotland
scrum-half Laidlaw scored a try either side of two penalties to give Gloucester
a 16-10 half-time lead.
Former
Worcester back row Matt Kvesic was bundled over after another couple of Laidlaw
penalties to seal the win.
To me this
is showing that Gloster have the chance to be Challenge cup champions because
they are doing very well against the better teams in Europe this year they have
the experience are they potential champions
