Full-Time: Cardiff run out 11-9 winners at Rodney Parade. A slug fest plagued with errors, loose kicking and endless scrum resets meant that it was less than an underwhelming spectacle. Cardiff were narrowly the better side this afternoon but, in truth, either team could have won this. Anscombe is awarded the man of the match award. Deserved, based on his performance today. Thanks for staying with our live coverage this afternoon. Happy New Years!
