🏉Huge relief for Cardiff as PoM Tom Bowen’s interception try in 77th minute makes it safe after a scoreless hour following his first, Connacht get last-move score for BP at 14-8
Decent first half but game went downhill with delays & over kicking

A win’s a win..

🏉HT Cardiff 7 Connacht 3, Tom
Bowen with the try from Sheedy X-kick. Could/should have been more given the amount of pressure. Back three looking good and some key turnovers won, but Teddy Williams stretchered off with leg injury.

Compared with the Rachel Heyhoe Flint trophy and Charlotte Edwards Cup apparently. I know it’s probably not like for like since we had more double headers with men’s games which were easier logistically.

No those aren’t included to the best of my knowledge- BBC commentators are on most of the championship and some of the Blast but it depends whether counties can monetise doing their own through sponsorship and ads
