Blues go top as Connacht lack the cutting edge

CARDIFF BLUES knocked Munster off their perch at the top of the Magners League table with a comfortable victory over Connacht.

Casey Laulala scored the game’s only try but the boot of Dan Parks and Leigh Halfpenny were enough to see Cardiff edge past Munster on points difference.

Both teams are level on match points but the Blues have a better points difference, by five, than Munster who play Leinster on Saturday night.
