Now the dust has settled!

What are your #3WordThoughts from a dramatic Challenge Cup tie in Italy?

#BENvCAR

This on the very next phase too.

If they check it and there's nothing then fair enough, but to point blank refuse to check is incredible.

#BENvCAR

Just can't understand how it's not worth even taking a minute to have a look if Rory Thornton is over the line here.

Bearing in mind the referee could barely see his hand in front of his face for the rest of the game so his opinion in real time is largely invalid.

#BENvCAR

💥 #BENvCAR

Incredible win for our Lions! 🦁 We defeated Cardiff and move on with pride 💚🤍
Now, all eyes on Exeter 💪 #WeAreLions #RugbyTreviso

BIGLIETTI DA MARTEDI' 7 APRILE

Benetton 38-35 Cardiff FT

Had it all as a cup tie! Fast starts, big comebacks, great tries, poor mistakes and refereeing controversy.

Cardiff shit hot in some parts, miles off it in others but huge heart and resilience to come within millimetres of winning it.

#BENvCAR

The arrogance of French referee Kevin Bralley utterly breathtaking.

To not even take a minute to review something so borderline which decides the game.

Never seen anything like it.

#BENvCAR

Can someone who was watching explain what on earth happened there? Ben Thomas seemed absolutely convinced it was a try and the ref said he didn't have any pictures? #BENvCAR

How on earth is this referee not even checking anything?!

Callum Sheedy fuming and rightly so.

#BENvCAR

The gasp I gasped!

Im in the theatre and the show starts in 13 mins...

#BENvCAR

I will never stop laughing if Cardiff somehow win this #BENvCAR

This is a crazy game #benvcar

Benetton 33-21 Cardiff HT

At 14-0 and 28-7 this could have got seriously ugly, but credit to the boys for battling back and just about staying in it.

Defence needs a huge rocket but we’ve been pretty physical in the tight exchanges and clinical in the red zone.

#BENvCAR

Hmmmmm.

#BENvCAR

Lovely pedantry from the Ref.

#BENvCAR

I’ve seen better starts from Cardiff, I’ll be honest 😳 #BENvCAR

Well that's sub optimal.... #BENVCAR

#RugbyTreviso

Benetton 20-19 Cardiff FT

That’s a seriously frustrating one.

In spite of the rotation it was there to be won. Too many key moments lost from the point Evan Lloyd went over.

Would have taken a LBP no questions asked beforehand but that is three points dropped.

#BENvCAR

Cardiff not really started this half.

#BENvCAR

Benetton 17-14 Cardiff HT

Hmmmm.

Started really well, two great tries, but we just struggled to get a hold aerially and conceded too many penalties.

Not commenting on the refereeing itself, but why do we never learn? It’s like we don’t analyse referees and adjust.

#BENvCAR

No way does that meet the threshold for a Pen Try.

#BENvCAR

Treviso butchered that thankfully.

#BENvCAR

20mins in.

Lovely start. Too easily conceded

#BENvCAR

Cais. Wych.

#BENvCAR

Why was that referred?

#BENvCAR

Would snatch your arm off for a try bonus point from tonight’s game.

Could be a long old night for Cardiff in Treviso though with a lot of rest and rotation.

Chance for some guys to put their hands up for big games to come. #BENvCAR
