Rhys Patchell penalty wins derby at death for Cardiff Blues

Full-back Rhys Patchell landed a dramatic last-gasp penalty to secure a 21-20 derby day victory for Cardiff Blues over Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade.

Patchell had landed two penalties and a conversion of a penalty try before, having missed a conversion of wing Tom James’ late try, he booted a touchline three-pointer to seal a 21-20 victory.

The Dragons had been 17-6 up during the second half after wing Ashton Hewitt scored a first-half try and fly-half Dorian Jones kicked three penalties and a drop goal, with Jones’ replacement Jason Tovey kicking a fourth penalty.
