Blues claim Amlin Cup glory
Cardiff Blues stunned French glamour boys Toulon 28-21 to win the Amlin Challenge Cup and become the first Welsh side to lift a European title.
Toulon had edged 13-6 ahead with a try from Sonny Bill Williams and eight points from Jonny Wilkinson when the Blues mounted their second-half comeback.
But Jamie Roberts, Leigh Halfpenny and Bradley Davies scored the tries as the Blues silenced the vast majority of the record 49,996 crowd inside Marseille's Stade Velodrome.
The Blues' victory gives Cardiff sports fans something to celebrate after the disappointment of the Bluebirds' Coca-Cola Championship play-off defeat to Blackpool at Wembley on Saturday, and the result will also be hailed along the M4 in Llanelli because the Blues' victory guaranteed the Scarlets Heineken Cup qualification.
The key moment came after 49 minutes, when Wilkinson hobbled out of the action. Suddenly, the Blues roared into life and their more cohesive approach won the day.
