Blues remain on track for Cup quarters

CARDIFF BLUES stayed firmly on course for the Heineken Cup quarter-finals last night, after subduing Harlequins’ spirited resistance at a windswept Arms Park.

The Blues will win Pool Three if they topple Memorial Stadium hosts Bristol on Sunday week.

Defeat in the west country, though, could let French champions Stade Francais through the back door. Stade’s last game is away to already-eliminated Quins.
