Cardiff and Gloucester reach Challenge Cup semis
By Christopher Devine
Cardiff Blues and Gloucester each recorded impressive wins on the road to reach the European Challenge Cup semi-finals on Saturday.
The Blues ran out 20-6 winners at Edinburgh, condemning the Scottish franchise to a second successive quarter-final defeat in the competition.
A Jaco van der Walt penalty put Edinburgh ahead after 19 minutes, but Cardiff were in control by half-time thanks to converted tries from Ellis Jenkins and Blaine Scully.
Although Van Der Walt briefly narrowed the hosts' deficit, there was to be no fightback and two Jarrod Evans penalties ensured the Blues, for whom Josh Navidi was outstanding, triumphed with a degree of comfort.
