Talk:Cardiff Blues vs Leicester Tigers (2008–09 Heineken Cup)

Review
" The scores were level after regular time and neither team was able to score during extra time, resulting in the first ever penalty shoot-out[a] in a professional rugby match"

- Needs a reference. Also should it be rugby union match or does this also cover professional rugby league?

"allowing Jordan Crane to hit the winner."

- doesn't read quite right/have right tone. How about "allowing Jordan Crane to score the winning kick"? Or something along those lines?

"however, Leicester selected Johne Murphy, who was not a regular kicker" - he had kicked goals for Leicester in two games before at first team level and many times for reserves and youth teams. I think this still stands as a comment but was not sure if that information might change the wording slightly.

Comment on criticisms of the format - Should it be pointed out, in the context of format being criticized for having forwards kick goals, that Leicester did not even use all their backs as Harry Ellis did not take a kick? Also that Craig Newby had also previously kicked a conversion for Leicester that season? Or that Jordan Crane had actually kicked goals for his school side? Both sides also made late changes in anticipation of the shoot out but neither replaced a forward with a back. I appreciate the press largely ignored these things too and we have to rely on reliable sources.

Anyway, food for thought on a great article.Skeene88 (talk) 12:56, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
