Standout players | Cardiff vs Connacht

It was not the most exciting match but Cardiff will be very happy to walk away with a 14-8 win over Connacht.

Tom Bowen kept up his remarkable start to the season, with his two tries proving the difference.

It was a nervy evening in the Welsh capital, with neither side making the most of their chances. But Bowen's two moments of magic - the second just minutes from time - were enough to seal the Blue and Blacks' second victory of the season.

That moves the club up to fourth in the United Rugby Championship.

This try was definitely worth the wait 🤯⏰

Tom Bowen snatches the loose ball and sprints from beyond half way to soar under the posts for @cardiffrugby - almost certainly sealing the W.
