0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Botica back inside to Tiaan Loots!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- It's the first try of the game.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Composure and patience - pays dividends in the end.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16- Jacob Botica held the ball up - superbly and straightened the line.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- He put the centre, Tiaan Loots, - in under the posts.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- Pontypridd realise that RGC - are without a left wing.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Bagshaw struggled to deal - with that ball.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- Pontypridd took the quick line-out - and are off down the wing.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Lewis Williams for the corner!
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- RGC got caught napping.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Andrew Williams is livid.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Check which ball has been used.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Did they use the same ball?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Now then, keep an eye on the ball - in the hands of the lad on the wing.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- It's the same ball - so no problem there.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- No reason to disallow the try.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- It was a question worth asking.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- Referees need eyes in the back - of their heads theses days.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18- SECOND HALF
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- Leach plucked that out of the air.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- He's probably the lightest forward - on show today.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29- Maredydd Francis.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- That's the way to - respond if he was annoyed.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- He has been pulled down - a metre short of the try line.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Can the North Wales outfit - score a second try?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Almost there - as they stretch forward.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- They haven't lost the ball.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Once again, Francis goes for it.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Pontypridd have their backs - to the wall.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Referee Rhys Thomas - is in the right spot.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05- I think Neil Hennessey - has an even tougher task this time.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Ross Davies, the tight-head prop...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- ..thinks he has crossed the line.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Two phases before that...
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- ..I'm not sure if the ball - was lost over the line...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- ..in an attempt at grounding.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- Can we check to see - if that's gone forward.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- It's a valid querry.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Evan Yardley, the hooker, - is stretching for the line.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- He then pulls the ball back.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33- Thank you.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- The try has been awarded - to Ross Davies.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- They won't kick it out just yet.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Phil John has his hands on the ball.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Now they can kick it out - as the ball comes back.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- Botica says give it now - and I'll kick it out.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55- An incredible result.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- History is made - in the Principality Stadium.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10- Men available left and right. - Which way will they go?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- It's straight down the middle.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Sam Williams, the lock, scores.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Aberavon are turning the screw - as tight as possible again.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- It's a great drive - as Davies goes blind.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Jenkins is tackled in the corner - but the ball is still there.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- It looked to have gone dead there.
0:12:07 > 0:12:13- Perseverance has paid off - and Luke Joseph has scored.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Llandovery have the advantage - on the right.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Maynard with the kick.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- It's a kind bounce - and he might go all the way.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08- The centre charges up - on the angled run...
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- ..the men are on the right - but the scrum half tries to snipe.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17- Gibson needs a couple more feet.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18- He's got there.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- Against the run of play...
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- ..Llandovery - have the lead for the first time.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32- We're into the final moments of - the game and Aberavon need a score.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46- They've got there.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- After quaking, shaking - and finally breaking...

0:14:00 > 0:14:04- We put pressure on Aberavon - and made it difficult to score.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- I thought we had it - after scoring late on.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- For the last five minutes we were - staring down the barrel of a gun.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17- Delighted with - our composure in areas...
0:14:18 > 0:14:19- ..we got wrong in the first half.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- The driving line-out - won us the game.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- That defeat means Llandovery are - more or less out of the top 4 race.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Aberavon are still in that race.

0:17:03 > 0:17:09- Everyone's working hard to move - the club up the Premier League.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- I hope we can keep it going - until we move into the new stadium.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Mauricio Pochettino arrived - in the same summer as you did.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- The results have been superb. - What's special about this manager?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- He's brought in a system - that works for him.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- Training is hard and the standards - expected of us are also tough.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37- Every day, we have to be match-fit - and ready to step onto that pitch.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Our performances have shown that.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Are his preparations - very meticulous?
0:17:46 > 0:17:51- He doesn't really have different - plans for the opposition we face.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- It's all about - what we're going to do.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- He prepares us to be spot-on - in everything that we do...
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- ..or we will find it difficult - as a team.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08- When we play to our best, - not many teams can keep up with us.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- What about Swansea; do you think - they can stay up this season?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- It's disappointing to see - their position this season.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- They have a decent side.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- They gave us a tough game last week.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- It's going to be hard for them - in the remaining games.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Three years have passed - since you left.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- I looked at some of the line-ups - just before you left.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- There have been so many changes.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Have there been too many changes - with players and managers?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Maybe.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- Their current side doesn't contain - many of the old boys.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- When we played them last week, - I only knew a couple of the squad.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- It's difficult to pinpoint - what exactly has gone wrong.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Maybe all the changes - haven't helped the team.
0:18:59 > 0:19:05- Now to Wales. It's strange but Wales - haven't lost in the group yet.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Are all the draws - coming back to haunt you?
0:19:10 > 0:19:11- Yes, they are worrying.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- We have to win - most of the remaining game...
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- ..if we want to qualify - for the World Cup.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- What about the game in Dublin - against Ireland?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Did Wales miss an opportunity - after controlling for long periods?
0:19:26 > 0:19:31- We did feel that we were on top - for most of the game.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- Neither side produced - many clear-cut chances.
0:19:36 > 0:19:42- Maybe we were happy with the result - after going down to ten men.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- When that happens in a match...
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- ..the game seems to stop for you.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50- It's hard to concentrate.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- It's difficult to get back - when you go down to ten men.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- We had to battle to get the point.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Maybe that point - will help us in the end.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Do you think Wales can get something - from the next game in Belgrade?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- We know that Serbia are a good side.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- It will be a tough game in Belgrade.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- We have to go there - believing we can win.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- If we play well, - I think we could do just that.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- Three points in Serbia - and you get a long-awaited holiday.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Enjoy the summer - and thanks for inviting us here.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53- That means the car - gets a decent service.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- But does the Welsh team need one too - after a poor Six Nations campaign?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Looking back there was quite a chasm - between our play...
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- ..on the training ground - and on the pitch.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- We did win in Italy.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47- The performance was a step up - from the Scotland game.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- The terrible news brought us - all together and spurred us on.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- We didn't really perform - against France.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- We've had a full team meeting - since that game...
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- ..and one-to-one's - with the coaching team.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- We only have four months before - the World Cup starts in Ireland.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- It's a short time - to turn things around.

0:27:56 > 0:28:01- I leave work at 3pm and drive down - to Cardiff for training....

0:28:09 > 0:28:14- I spend a lot of time in this car - and the mileage is clocking up.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- The big question is why?
0:28:18 > 0:28:19- I love the game.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24- I love training, playing, - coaching and making new friends.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- There's nothing better than - putting on the red shirt of Wales.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- That's why I do it.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38- It's tiring doing all this driving - left, right and centre across Wales.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42- It'll be worth it when I look back.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48- What does she think about the - Welsh pool in the World Cup Finals?
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- In every World Cup I've played we've - been matched up with New Zealand.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58- Getting them again this time - is daunting.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- Ireland beat New Zealand - in the last women's World Cup...
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- ..and we've beaten Ireland - since then.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37- I used to play - for Waterloo, Liverpool.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- I wanted to play in Wales.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- We're second in the league - behind Swansea.
0:29:44 > 0:29:50- It's only our second season in the - Premiership so second is excellent.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55- We're battling with Pontyclun - and Whitland for second place.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56- We're still in the cup.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- I'll just keep going.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- I've been playing since I was 16.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- It's a lot of travelling - and being away from home.

0:30:27 > 0:30:28- She's a great player.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- Seeing all the preparation work - is interesting.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38- We see you on the pitch but there - are countless hours we don't see.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- You have to do some juggling.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- It takes commitment.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- There's a car full of players...
0:30:44 > 0:30:48- ..that comes down from North Wales - three times a week.
0:30:48 > 0:30:54- It's difficult - balancing it with work commitments.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- It's an honour playing for Wales.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- The World Cup will be played - in Ireland this summer.

0:31:10 > 0:31:14- Do you agree with Elen?
0:31:14 > 0:31:16- It is quite a pool.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- New Zealand - and Canada are very good.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25- In the men's game, - Canada aren't such a challenge.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- In the women's game, - they are third seeds.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- They were runner's up in 2014.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- It's a huge challenge in August.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- We are ready as a squad.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- How have Canada risen so high?
0:31:41 > 0:31:46- Do they have a different - pattern of preparation to you?
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- They have a very strong sevens side.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- The women are professional.
0:31:53 > 0:31:59- Playing the best will be quite an - experience and we are ready for it.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- It starts in August.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- We have to remember that Wales...
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- ..will compete in Sevens - in the Commonwealth Games.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- How far ahead are the countries...
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- ..that field a side - in the World series events?

0:32:47 > 0:32:51- I'm a lecturer for the Welsh - language section for Cardiff Met.
0:32:53 > 0:32:58- It takes a while to make sure I'm - getting all the training done right.
0:32:58 > 0:33:04- There's a lot of travelling for - the other girls to get to Cardiff.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- It's an honour - and we enjoy every minute.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42- Three of us decided - we were going to go out for a run.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44- It's slowly built from there.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- I started running - about seven years ago.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- I spotted the running club, Maldwyn - Harriers, in the local newspaper.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55- It was the Walk to Run course.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- I had never run before - so I decided to do it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04- By the tenth week, I could run - three miles without stopping.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- That was fantastic. - That's how I started.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- When we set up, - it was safety in numbers.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- Ladies didn't want to run on - their own, especially in the dark.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- They felt comfortable - running in a group.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22- We'd always give them a route - so they knew where they were going.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- We had a base here to run from - and to come back. It was good.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- After two years, I went on a course - to become a leader.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- I wanted to give something back - to the club.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- They had helped me to start running.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- I wanted to do the same - for other women.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- We started off with three leaders.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- We thought we could - have three groups.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49- We've been building up our numbers. - There are 16 or 17 leaders now.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- I love taking the new women...
0:34:52 > 0:34:57- ..and seeing them develop from one - week to the next, just like I did.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- And then to see them - having success...
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- ..and seeing their faces - in the tenth week...
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- ..when they realise they've done it.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11- On a good night on a Wednesday, - we can have 45 to 50 ladies.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16- The first group - run six or seven miles.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- The middle group run five miles.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22- The final group - run about four miles.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- Everyone decides what they want - to do from one week to the next.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- It's important - that they have fun doing it.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- We don't want to be a serious club. - We want to go out to have fun.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40- I enjoy that everyone makes friends - and meet all types of women.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- I've made a lot of new friends.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- I would never have met them - if it wasn't for Maldwyn Harriers.
0:35:46 > 0:35:51- I started two years ago because - I'd just had my third child.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- I started the Walk to Run - which helped build up my fitness.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56- It went from there really.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- I went through the whole ten weeks - of Walk to Run...
0:36:00 > 0:36:04- ..thinking I would never - be able to do it or keep up with it.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Now I run with the fastest group - at the top.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- There's always a bit of competition, - especially in the top group.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- More on their way back from the run.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18- Some compete with each other to get - back to the Sports Centre first.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22- It's a nice rivalry. - It's good competition really.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- Everyone supports everybody.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36- I've completed a half marathon.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38- I never thought I'd be a runner...
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- ..let alone do those type - of things as well.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- We persuade our friends - to come to the running club.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- They keep fit, - make new friends and they have fun.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- It's important these days...
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- ..that we do something together - as a group of women.

0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Running can be a lonely pursuit.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- Getting a group together like that - makes a difference.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- You can have a chat as you run.
