WATCH: Owen Lane's RIDICULOUS Finish Guides Cardiff to victory
- 2277
Owen Lane had one of those nights for Cardiff Blues against Connacht on Saturday.
The winger finished off a try in audacious fashion before almost gifting Connacht a try and the chance to steal the tightly fought contest.
A testing game that only saw the first points of the game come in the 12th minute through Steve Shingler's boot suddenly became more intense when Cardiff went down two 13 men with both Brad Thyer (collapsing the maul) and Nick Williams (late tackle) going to the sin bin.
⚠ Second Yellow Card for @cardiff_blues!
