Cardiff Rugby Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Rygbi Caerdydd) is a rugby union football club based in Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. The club was founded in 1876 and played their first few matches at Sophia Gardens, but soon relocated to Cardiff Arms Park where they have been based ever since. They built a reputation as one of the great clubs in world rugby largely through a series of wins against international touring sides.

With professionalism dawned a new era at Cardiff RFC. It allowed them to sign legendary outside-half Jonathan Davies back from rugby league, and another major change was that there would be a European Cup, sponsored by Heineken, containing teams from France, Ireland, Wales, Italy and Romania (England and Scotland did not join for another year). Cardiff progressed to the knock-out stages in November by drawing with Bordeaux-Begles and beating Ulster. December saw the end of the Alex Evans era, as he departed to return home to Australia. Terry Holmes took charge of the club, and in his first full match the Blue and Blacks beat Leinster away to progress to the first Heineken Cup final. The game was played at Cardiff Arms Park in front of a crowd of 21,800, where despite 18 points from the boot of Adrian Davies, Cardiff were beaten 21-18 by Toulouse after extra time.  Cardiff, despite not losing a league game under Holmes, were runners-up on the domestic front as well, finishing level with Neath on points but coming second on try count. After the end of the 95-96 season Peter Thomas invested money into the club allowing them to sign Rob Howley, Dai Young back from rugby league, Leigh Davies, Gwyn Jones and Justin Thomas for the cost of around PS2million. Internationals Mark Ring, Steven Blackmore and the half-backs that had started the Heineken Cup final, Andy Moore and Adrian Davies all departed.  Despite all the new signings, Cardiff lost their first three games of the season, and the 1996/97 season was in many respects worse than the year before - Cardiff were knocked out in the Heineken Cup semi-finals by eventual champions Brive, and in the Welsh Premier Division they fell to third, behind champions Pontypridd and Llanelli. However, after Alex Evans returned to head up the coaching team, that season did lead to some silverware, as Cardiff beat Llanelli 36-26 in the semi-final and Swansea 33-26 in the final of the SWALEC Cup. Grzegorz Kacala and Tony Rees, both forwards part of the Brive team that knocked Cardiff out of the Heineken Cup and went on to win it, were signed for 1997/98 along with Wales internationals Steve Williams and Spencer John (Gareth Thomas also arrived in December from Bridgend).  Despite Cardiff's difficulties, compounded by those of the national team, Howley and Young were both chosen to go on 1997 Lions tour to South Africa. Howley had to return home early due to injury and neither of the two Cardiff players started a Test match.  In the 1997/98 season, Cardiff were Wales's sole representative in the quarter finals of the Heineken Cup, and were beaten away in rematch of the previous year's quarter-final, by Bath, who would go on to win the tournament. However, their domestic cup campaign ended before the quarter final stage, losing 24-9 to Ebbw Vale, and they finished runners up to Swansea in the League. Following this season, Alex Evans left Cardiff for Australia for the second time and Terry Holmes was put back in charge. CANNOTANSWERAnswer this question using a quote from the following article:

Cardiff Rugby Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Rygbi Caerdydd) är en rugby union-fotbollsklubb baserad i Cardiff, huvudstaden i Wales. Klubben grundades 1876 och spelade sina första matcher på Sophia Gardens, men flyttade snart till Cardiff Arms Park där de sedan dess varit baserade. De byggde upp ett rykte som en av de stora klubbarna i världen rugby till stor del genom en rad vinster mot internationella turnerande sidor. Med professionalismen gick en ny era upp på Cardiff RFC. Det gjorde att de kunde skriva på legendariska utanför halva Jonathan Davies tillbaka från rugby league, och en annan stor förändring var att det skulle bli en europeisk cup, sponsrad av Heineken, innehållande lag från Frankrike, Irland, Wales, Italien och Rumänien (England och Skottland gick inte med förrän om ett år). Cardiff gick vidare till knock-out skedena i november genom att rita med Bordeaux-Begles och slå Ulster. December såg slutet på Alex Evans-eran, då han avreste för att återvända hem till Australien. Terry Holmes tog befälet över klubben, och i sin första fulla match slog Blue and Blacks Leinster bort för att gå vidare till den första Heineken Cup-finalen. Matchen spelades på Cardiff Arms Park inför en folkmassa på 21 800, där Cardiff trots 18 poäng från stöveln av Adrian Davies, slogs 21-18 av Toulouse efter extra tid. Cardiff, trots att inte förlora en ligamatch under Holmes, var tvåa på den inhemska fronten också, slutade nivå med Neath på poäng men kommer tvåa på try greve. Efter slutet av säsongen 95–96 satsade Peter Thomas pengar på klubben så att de kunde skriva på Rob Howley, Dai Young tillbaka från rugby league, Leigh Davies, Gwyn Jones och Justin Thomas för kostnaden runt PS2million. Internationals Mark Ring, Steven Blackmore och halvbackarna som hade startat Heineken Cup-finalen, Andy Moore och Adrian Davies avgick alla. Trots alla nysigneringar förlorade Cardiff sina tre första matcher för säsongen, och säsongen 1996/1997 var i många avseenden sämre än året innan - Cardiff slogs ut i Heineken Cup semifinal av eventuella mästarna Brive, och i Welsh Premier Division föll man till trea, bakom mästarna Pontypridd och Llanelli. Efter att Alex Evans återvänt för att leda upp tränarlaget ledde den säsongen dock till en del silverbestick, då Cardiff slog Llanelli 36-26 i semifinalen och Swansea 33-26 i finalen av SWALEC Cup. Grzegorz Kacala och Tony Rees, båda forwards en del av det Brive-lag som slog ut Cardiff ur Heineken Cup och gick vidare till att vinna den, skrevs på för 1997/98 tillsammans med Wales-landskamperna Steve Williams och Spencer John (Gareth Thomas anlände också i december från Bridgend). Trots Cardiffs svårigheter, sammansatta av landslagets, valdes Howley och Young båda ut för att åka på 1997 års Lions turné till Sydafrika. Howley fick återvända hem tidigt på grund av skada och ingen av de två Cardiffspelarna startade en Testmatch. Säsongen 1997/98 var Cardiff Wales enda representant i kvartsfinalen i Heineken Cup, och slogs bort i returmatch av föregående års kvartsfinal, av Bath, som skulle gå vidare för att vinna turneringen. Deras inhemska cupkampanj tog dock slut innan kvartsfinalen, och förlorade 24-9 till Ebbw Vale, och de slutade löpare upp till Swansea i ligan. Efter denna säsong lämnade Alex Evans Cardiff för Australien för andra gången och Terry Holmes sattes tillbaka som ansvarig.
