Love this little fake carry-pop pass move that Cardiff utilised from the base in the redzone twice on Friday night.
Great hands from Dan Thomas to take hold of this one a little higher than he might have liked.

Absolutely horrid game, but the 5 points puts us on 16/20 league points which is excellent. Need to back it up against Edinburgh next week now.

Unclear how ready or otherwise Will Rigg and Osian Roberts are to step in.
Rigg was a regular with Exeter last season but has had a foot injury over the summer and is yet to play this season.
Roberts has played twice for Caldy, once in pre-season and once in the Championship.
