Cardiff Blues beat Aironi in Magners League

Since October,Wales wing Leigh Halfpenny marked his first start with a try to set the Blues on the way to a hard-fought success which has taken them up to third in the Magners League.

Halfpenny was having ankle injury which kept him out of autumn internationals but he is now fully recovered,struck after just seven minutes to suggest this was going to be a comfortable evening for Dai Young’s men.

But it proved to be anything but that, as Aironi belied their position at the foot of the Magners League table with a committed, combative display led by their powerful pack.

Italian new boys Aironi may have ultimately left the Cardiff City Stadium still searching for their first Magners win after suffering a 12th straight defeat in the competition.
