- Pool B: Harlequins 43-17 Cardiff
- Cardiff, without 42 players, prove stubborn again
For nearly an hour, the youngsters and part-timers of Cardiff went toe to toe with the champions of England. They had impressed in an unflattering, practically insulting, defeat to the champions of France and Europe last Saturday, but this time they backed up the promise with enough tries to remain level until close to the hour mark.
This was not a flattering score-line either, although there was little arguing with the four tries by which a virtually full-strength Harlequins pulled away in the final quarter, two of them for Alex Dombrandt.
