A disappointing result on what was a very very cold night at Cardiff Arms Park.

In fairness to the ground staff they did an excellent job in preparing the pitch for the game, especially as the pitch was water logged for the last two games. Having said that there was more sand on the pitch than at Barry Island.

The result 26. 22 to Connacht is the second game I have witnessed this week with the home team losing, the other being Cardiff City last Tuesday. On both occasions the home team were just not good enough.

On a positive side, Wales U20 won out in a rain swept Italy tonight. The pitch reminded me of the Arms Park during the last two matches.

Let’s hope Wales and France do better tomorrow. Come on Wales and Allez Les Bleu.
