Cardiff have been crowned Indigo Premiership champions after they crushed Merthyr at the Arms Park.
Just a month ago the prospect of Steve Law’s finishing top of the pile seemed inconceivable with Newport holding what looked like an unassailable 12-point lead at the top of the Premiership having beaten Cardiff 38-6. But an injury crisis in the Newport squad saw the Black & Ambers’ season fall apart, and Cardiff took full advantage winning their final four games.
They were far too powerful for a Merthyr side who had nothing tangible to play for with No 8 Morgan Allen catching the eye with a superb all-round performance, while their potent back-line tore the Ironmen to shreds at times. Cardiff came out of the blocks firing with Wales under 20s full-back Cameron Winnett showing tremendous pace to beat two defenders on his way to the try line.
