Cardiff Blues gave their Magners League play-off hopes a boost with victory over Newport Gwent Dragons, who claimed a losing bonus point at Rodney Parade.

The game was marred by a dreadful ankle injury suffered by home full-back Martyn Thomas in the second-half.

Dragons prop Ben Castle claimed his side's try with James Arlidge kicking three penalties.

Blues' Ceri Sweeney scored a crucial try, Gavin Evans also touching down and Ben Blair's boot adding 10 points.

Victory gave the Blues their seventh successive away triumph as they became only the second team to win at the Dragons' home in the league this season.

The Dragons also remain in with a play-off chance, but their hopes are slim after this defeat.

Dragons 14-20 Cardiff Blues

Greeeeeeeeeeatttt game of rugby - one of the best this season and the banter was hilarious the crowd sang 'Where's yer buggy gone?' to Andy Powell when he came on even better was when the Dragons fans who had been making donkey noises everytime Sweeny got the ball were suddenly silenced when he scored a try right between their posts *snigger* considering this wasn't our first team it was a fabulous performance by the Blues and Dragons lose nothing but points in defeat as they played very well indeed - but the better team won The Dragons lad who did his ankle in was very unlucky and he'll be gutted as he was likely to have been selected for the Wales squad for NZ as a development player and he's going to miss out on that now.

Next up London Wasps and we have a bit of an injury crisis after last nights game so it's going to be even tougher than it would have been with a fully fit squad fingers crossed that Richie Rees, Casey Laulala and Jamie Roberts haven't done anything too serious and can be fit to play.

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Cardiff Blues will play Toulon in Marseille in the Amlin Challenge Cup final on 23 May after battling to a tense semi-final win over London Wasps.

The Welsh region out-scored their hosts two tries-to-nil, wing Leigh Halfpenny and prop Gethin Jenkins both crossing.

Dave Walder landed five penalties for the English side, three in the first half to help the hosts to a 9-8 lead.

But the Blues moved 18-12 up after Jenkins' try and Walder missed a late kick that would have meant extra-time.

While that was harsh on the fly-half who had been immaculate with the boot until that point, the Blues deserved victory if only for the outstanding individual display of captain Xavier Rush.

The number eight carried the ball on 24 occasions, taking the fight to Wasps in wet conditions after a deluge in the two hours before kick-off at Adams Park.

The hosts, unbeaten in their last 16 European matches at home, edged the opening 40 minutes largely thanks to a better kicking game and strong scrummage. **and a disallowed try for the Blues that was most definately a try and the ref didn't go to the TMO**

Ok, why?

[Reality Bytes]

Ah you hadn't heard about Andy Powell and the golf buggy? ummm well after we beat Scotland in the 6 Nations it seems Andy had a couple of drinks and then fancied some chocolate so he borrowed a golf buggy from the team hotel and thought it was a good idea to nip over to Sarn services for a mars bar .... unfortunately for Andy the only way to reach said services was along the M4 ... in a golf buggy... at 4am ... the wrong way up the hard shoulder... at about 15 mph ... he was arrested for drunk driving, got a 15 month driving ban and was kicked out of the Welsh squad. Whilst what he did was undoubtedly stupid and dangerous it has rather tickled the funny bone of a lot of rugby supporters especially those who can play with photoshop... theres even a facebook page for the Andy Powell Golf Buggy Appreciation Society. Hence the crowd singing "where's your buggy gone?" to the tune of "where's your papa gone?" (Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep)

As for Sweeny he wasn't happy at Rodney Parade when he played for The Dragons he went through a bad patch being off his game and the fans turned on him he responded by saying a few things in the press about them being chav townies or somesuch, the dragons fans called him eyeore (he oughta .. learn to pass the ball ..kick better... tackle better etc) hence the donkey calls.
