🏉 Cardiff Reigns Supreme Again! 🏆💙
Cardiff Rugby continues to rule the roost in Welsh rugby as they knocked the Dragons out of the park with a thrilling 24-17 victory at Rodney Parade. This epic clash saw Cardiff soar to the top of the United Rugby Championship table, continuing their unbelievable 20-match unbeaten streak against the Dragons since 2014! 🐉
With a crowd of nearly 7,500 fans cheering on, Cardiff came out swinging. Alex Mann wasted no time, scoring 80 seconds in with a powerful driving maul. The Dragons hit back quickly with Brodie Coghlan crossing the line, but Cardiff’s pack took control. Taulupe Faletau, fresh off the injury list, bulldozed over for a try just 14 minutes in – talk about a comeback! 🤕💪
By the end of the first quarter, Dan Thomas added his name to the score sheet, finishing the first half at 17-7. The second half saw Cardiff maintain their edge, despite the Dragons’ best efforts. Ben Thomas showcased his flair with nimble handling, setting the stage for Danny Southworth to secure the bonus point try. 🏉✨
The Dragons weren’t going down without a fight though! Ben Carter made a stunning late-game try to breathe some life into their play, but it wasn’t enough to overthrow Cardiff’s derby dominance. Angus O’Brien’s efforts gave fans a glimmer of hope, but alas, the Blue and Blacks held firm till the end. 🚀
This victory not only keeps Cardiff at the top, but it also cements their status as the team to beat in the Championship. Up next? We’ll all be watching to see who can break their derby-winning streak! 🥇🔵
