FT The final whistle has also gone in Italy with Cardiff Blues in the end running out comfortable 56-20 winners over Cammi Calvisano
73' TRY BLUES! Thomas becomes the latest player to cross over for the Blues, and you get the impression they could continue to do this all day!
70' TRY BLUES! Halfpenny runs over the Blues sixth try of the day as they pick the pace up once again after a lull in the past 10 minutes
65' Raineri adds the conversion but it really is scant consolation for the Italians who have been comprehensively out played today
65' TRY CALVISANO! Cardiff undoubtedly took their foot off the gas there for a minute and Ghiraldini manages to get one back for the Italian side
59' Blair kicks the simple conversion from in between the posts and the Blues are now just four points away from racking up a half century of points
59' TRY BLUES! Jamie Robinson breaks before putting up a high looping pass inside to Martyn Williams. Williams almost makes it to the line but sees his is about to be caught and comes up with an unorthodox, almost basketball style pass, to get the ball out to Nicky Robinson who is free to dive over the line
51' Blair converts his own try and Cardiff have this match won now surely. Calvisano just look lost out there
50' TRY CARDIFF! There is the bonus point for the Blues as Blair adds to his personal haul with a try of his own squirming his way through the Calvisano defence
47' TRY CARDIFF! Tom Shanklin is the latest Blues player to expose the gaping holes in the Calvisano back line and Cardiff are now just the one try from a bonus point
43' Blair adds the conversion and the Blues have a little breathing room once again
42' TRY BLUES! Jason Spice gets the second half off to a great start for Cardiff dodging past a couple of tackles to find space on the left of the posts to touch down
41' We are back underway in Italy as Calvisano and the Blues make their way back out on to the pitch
40' The half-time whistle has also gone in Italy where the Blues lead Calvisano 18-13
38' Paul Griffin, he of the crazy sideburns, cancels out Blair's penalty with one of his own. But Calvisano should really be getting more points on the board having the one man advantage as they do
36' Blair kicks his second penalty of the afternoon as the Blues continue to hold Calvisano back despite being a man down
29' Fraser adds the conversion right in front of the posts and things go from bad to worse for the Blues who have Jamie Roberts sent to the bin
28' TRY CALVISANO! Ouch, that's got to hurt! Calvisano hit straight back when a missed tackle allows Purll to break and his strength carries him over the line despite three or four Blues players rallying to stop him
27' This time Blair does add the simple conversion from right between the posts to further extend the Blues lead
27' TRY CARDIFF! The Blues are awarded a penalty try when full-back Robinson is clearly tripped right in front of the referee when he is chasing a loose ball over the line
19' Blair counters Fraser's penalty with one of his own from out wide on the left wing, just pulling the ball inside the right post
16' This time Fraser does make his kick count as Calvisano are back within two points of the Blues
9' TRY CARDIFF! Maama Molitika uses his not inconsiderable bulk to force his way through a couple of Calvisano tackles and over the line for the opening score of the game
