Dragons are mounting an attack inside the Blues 22

Paulo is pinged by the ref following some handbags. Prydie takes the opportunity to cut Cardiff's lead to 2 points again. Good kick from the Dragons fullback.

Drop Goal for Cardiff! Anscombe drops back in the pocket and takes advantage of a penalty advantage to have a drop at goal. His effort goes straight through the uprights to extend Cardiff's lead to 8-3.

Tovey gets the game back underway!

Teams are back out on the pitch.

Half-Time: The Dragons trail 5-3 at the break. A scrappy opening forty from both sides. A lot of loose kicking and unforced errors have marred the half. The Blues have dominated in possession and territory with the wind behind their backs. The Dragons have remained in touching distance in a disjointed half of rugby, with the scrum and lineout a complete mess for both. The second forty is coming up in a matter of minutes!

This time around its the Dragons front-row who are penalized. Blues clear their lines just before the half.

Knoyle is penalized at the scrum for a crooked feed. Dragons opt for a scrum.

Filise is pinged for collapsing at the scrum again. He is lucky to not be sin-binned for repeated infringements at scrum time. He's certainly on his last warning.

Nick cudd should be selected for the six nations squad give him a chance
