Cardiff Blues 38 Edinburgh 13: match report As far as next week is concerned, we are ready to go and of course, everyone is looking forward to it. We are fine, in terms of injuries, but we couldn't really play any of the other guys today because there is only a six-day turnaround. Phil Godman's early penalty edged Edinburgh in front, but by half-time, the Blues were 12-3 to the good courtesy of tries from the Wales pair Lloyd Williams and Alex Cuthbert. Williams burrowed his way over from close in after concerted work by his pack, while Cuthbert was gifted his opportunity after Edinburgh had turned over line out ball deep in their own 22. Godman's measured dropped goal, two minutes into the second half, cut the deficit to six, but the Blues were soon a man to the good as referee Dudley Phillips sent John Houston to the sin bin for a high tackle on Tom James. The Welsh region made their numerical advantage count in the 50th minute when Cuthbert added his second try after brushing off a paper-thin tackle from full-back Chris Paterson. Before Houston returned, the Blues had gathered a bonus point courtesy of No 8 Luke Hamilton's 54th-minute try. Ben Blair converted and with Edinburgh ringing the changes, Cuthbert completed his hat-trick just short of the hour. An exquisite chip behind the Blues" defence from Leonard led to the young outside half touching down for a try he converted himself, but it was nothing more than a consolation score on a day when the Blues wound up matters with a try, three minutes from time, from replacement flanker Josh Navidi. For the Welsh region, who are set to lose no fewer than a dozen senior players at the end of the season, it was an opportunity for the home crowd to say farewell to the likes of Martyn Williams, Gethin Jenkins, Casey Laulala and Richie Rees.
