Ulster 32 Cardiff 12
Yet another West English region beaten this year, Cardiff being the latest region from the principality to come up against the *"Ulster blip!"* It looked like we might have a game in the first 15 minutes when Cardiff moved the ball well and Ulster let them through for their now customary easy try. However that was practically the last time Cardiff threatened the Ulster line for the next 60 minutes. The Ulster back row proceeded to strangle the life out of the Cardiff ball supply and set up a platform where Ulster scored 32 unanswered points bagging five tries and the bonus point on the way. A fairly lightweight and frustrated Cardiff pack tried to resort to the now customary thuggery and were lucky that only three ended up in the bin. If the West English would concentrate on playing rugby instead of playing the man they may find their performances improve. Trimble looked sharp with a brace and Paddy got on the scoresheet with a well worked team try. Neil Best touched down after good work by the forwards and Bryn dotted down a Maxwell break out. However the match was won up front and any of the back row of Best, Ferris and Wilson could all have been MotM. However the FRU MotM goes to Roger for his tireless work making the hard yards round the pitch.			Roger - FRU MotM (again). Picture From Rooster!

BBC Bias - "It's a disgrace!"
Let's look at it this way. Ulster were unbeaten in West England last season. This season they have beaten all four West English regions scoring an average of 34 points and four tries per game. However according to the buffoons on Scrum V Ulster are a poor side who have fluked the last seven wins and one draw against the West English. It was bad enough with Eddie Butler and his love of all things English but at least he had some concept of reality, unlike his sucessor Gwyn Jones. Jones is so inept that it now appears that the tide is turning and Cardiff supremo Dai Laughing has finally spoken out. "We feel hard done by, playing in West England with West English commentators, the league should look at it," said Laughing. "I have to watch what I say, but we won't be too disappointed if we don't have Gwyn Jones commentating on us again," Laughing continued, adding "My players were ridiculed on the advice of the commentators, we were never going to get any calls." Things have got so bad that "everyones favourite West England player" Ieuan Evans has joined in calling Jones, "appalling, inept and spineless" in a heated outburst late last night.			"The commentators were appalling, inept and spineless, and they bottled the crucial decisions" Ex-West England captain Ieuan Evans on Ex-West England Captain Gwyn Jones (above).

Pervy Fan Strikes Again.
The Scoop Bar was disturbed, once again, by the unpleasant sight of an old man making a fool of himself with young girls. One disgruntled spectator, a Mr Youngman stated, "I thought paying £50 this year would have kept this kind of riff-raff out of the Scoop, but it seems to have got worse this year." Another spectator, a Mr Dergman added, "There was none of this sort of behaviour when I was speaking to Declan Kidney down in Cork the other week. I don't know why people aren't asking me more about that." When asked about his behaviour, Mr Pervyfan replied, "I do it because I can. Now where did I leave that sandwich?"

Competition Time
Pervyfan can be clearly spotted in two of the pictures below, but he is lurking somewhere in the other two. To win a fantastic signed photo of Pervyfan all you have to do is mark with an X where you thing Pervy is lurking. Nearest the Pervyfan wins.
