Wales in the final hurdles. -- huddle. | :00:14. | :00:31. | |
CROWD CHEERS The umpire has blown his whistle and asked the teams to | :00:32. | :00:41. | |
move into their positions. his whistle and asked the teams to | :00:42. | :00:53. | |
Australia, a meaningful huddle. They have been there for a couple of | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
minutes now. Last-minute checks. Wales will start with the ball. And | :00:57. | :01:15. | |
we are off. A Wales will start with the ball. And | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
their campaign, defending gold medallists. The Parini or gold | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
medallists. -- perennial. Very careful with the position that they | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
have in the early stages. A chance for Wales to get a psychological | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
advantage early on. for Wales to get a psychological | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
the top right-hand corner and across it goes. Look | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
the top right-hand corner and across counterattack. Swan. Up and over. | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
Flicking on the run. Catching a foot. Play on. Leave the ball. | :02:10. | :02:27. | |
Prosser. Clever. He had no option. Deciding to pop it into the foot. It | :02:28. | :02:37. | |
goes. One of the better players for Wales, number 12, Richard Gay. Watch | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
out for him. He would have a lot of work to do, one would think. A | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
scheme in the flow. A central defender for Wales. -- a stain. -- | :02:47. | :03:00. | |
stinging. Against the free head. -- free hit. | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
Stretching it wide. Flipped over the top, into the group of players and a | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
little dangerous. An interesting opening few minutes. Interesting in | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
how Australia are looking to fashion chances early on. They are bringing | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
it to Wales. Putting a lot of pressure on defence. They will try | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
and punch it into the corners. A good take. An excellent chance. Will | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
he have a shot himself? He has slipped it through and it has fallen | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
just to the back of his team-mates. Danger time. The counterattack. What | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
a great pick-up. Into the danger area, Australia backing off and | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
giving him space. He could have gone for the shot. But it was not to be. | :03:54. | :04:06. | |
Australia will still be a little bit nervous. They were the last | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Australia will still be a little bit get off the mark. To get a game. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
They have been watching for two days. Really anticipating this | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
start. Although they are a great team they will still have nerds like | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
everybody else. And the highs of winning a world championship, you | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
have got to come down from that and get back to business. Every match | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
you have got to burn your victories. You cannot just turn up and win. | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
They know that. -- the burning. They will have a competition for places, | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
that is for sure. -- you have got to be learning. -- burning. -- earning. | :04:43. | :05:04. | |
Trying to close it down. Stopping that crossfield transfer. They will | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
do a lots to stop that getting into the corner here. And then picking it | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
up. Driving through the quarter. Waiting for all, Wales and almost | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
paying the penalty. The skipper striding forward. Here is the ball. | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
Into that circle. Again, just a little fine touch. Such a set game, | :05:29. | :05:37. | |
Australia. Trying to pick up that high intensity and accuracy early | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
on. And they win that one. 1-couple-macro pass, going forward. | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
Into the circle now. A penalty corner. Number one. We have waited | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
five minutes. Yes, good use of the ball around the top here, in the | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
corner, just looking for that lay back. But it's just unfortunately | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
bounced off his own player. Corner number one. Chris will look for him | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
at the top of the circle, number five. | :06:18. | :06:27. | |
From Melbourne. Here he is. The big man is in action once more. He has | :06:28. | :06:47. | |
still got a chance. Pinpoint accuracy, into the bottom right for | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
the goalkeeper. He has now got 86 international goals, playing his | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
141st match for his country. Initial shot charging down here. It fell | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
behind the Welsh attack-defenders and it was quite an easy finish to | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
be honest. He got behind that initial charge down and space was | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
available. A loose ball. And the circle, flicking up into the eye, | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
was it Richard Gay copping it in his right eye? A bit blood here. Let's | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
have a look. A good take. Australia taking any prisoners. Off his own | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
player's foot. Did not get out of the way and that is going to be | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
sore. Sometimes when they get a hit like that, if it does not split, | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
sometimes it is worse, because your eye is swelling up. First goal in | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
the right-hand corner. He was committed to his left foot. Just | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
putting it down the other side. It did come off his own player. It will | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
be another penalty corner. And it is a blow for Wales. Richard Gay is off | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
the field. He has been one of the better players in the opening match, | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
against India. The Australians hovering and waiting. And he will be | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
lost to the cause as well. Breaking hamster penalty corner. -- at the | :08:23. | :08:31. | |
penalty corner. Going too early. They are reduced to three field | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
players and a goalkeeper. First man out. His experience will be missed. | :08:36. | :08:47. | |
Eager to get on with the job. Alternate flick this time. In and | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
out. We have seen it go other side of the net. And he gets the second | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
Australian goal. And after five minutes of play it is 2-0. Changing | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
the angle. The first option this time. That was a big strike. And I | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
guess if you were being cruel you could say that the man on the line | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
should stand up and play that out. A fierce strike by Kieran Govers. | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
Making a statement with decision and power. Again, fighting hard for the | :09:21. | :09:21. | |
ball and he has got it this time. power. Again, fighting hard for the | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
You cannot come off it for a single time. A foot outside the circle. It | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
has upped intensity. Australia I into their work. | :09:33. | :09:43. | |
Swann. He will look to go back and around. More direct this time. That | :09:44. | :09:56. | |
was a bit clumsy. He might get a warning. Will he get a card? Peter | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
Swinson will get a reminder that cards are an option. | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
It is still loose inside the circle, for Australia. Hunting it down. | :10:15. | :10:37. | |
Anything is fair game. Another chance right in front of the goal | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
and the goalkeeper has done well for Wales. He was not able to get it | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
over the line. Wales. He was not able to get it | :10:48. | :10:58. | |
lovely soft bunt and almost a forward defence. Versatility in | :10:59. | :10:59. | |
their skill set. We have seen the And Jay Spearing run. And he comes | :11:00. | :11:38. | |
out and gives it a boot but he gets his player at the same time. A | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
little bit impetuous. The red mist. He kicked that very hard. Australia | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
fantastic at the moment. That was just kicked out by the | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
He just needed to play it out wide. This Australian side are showing | :11:55. | :11:55. | |
what they have got. They are relentless. They keep coming in | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
waves. The Welsh team at the moment are spinning a bit mentally because | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
of the goals early on. They need to try and settle down. This is an | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
important corner for them to defend. Ten minutes gone in the first half. | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
And the penalty corner brackets. As efficient as you would expect. The | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
world number one, all conquering Australia, against Wales, ranked 31. | :12:25. | :12:33. | |
And it goes wide. It is not often you see mistakes by the Australian | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
And it goes wide. It is not often you see mistakes by the team but | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
that shout went to the wrong person. Mitton, trying to get a shot on | :12:41. | :12:41. | |
target. That was not far away. Finding | :12:42. | :13:08. | |
Excellent running. It is all about where the Australian players run to. | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
They know each other so well, they have been through a | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
They know each other so well, they campaign. And they have practised | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
moves. They know exactly where they are going to be. You can see that | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
they were passed down the line often for they even look, because they | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
know that runners will be moving into those corners. Ockenden | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
off-loads through the middle. And the ball is still with Wales. A | :13:35. | :14:23. | |
couple of opportunities now. An opportunity to get in and put | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
pressure on them. Wales will go over the baseline. Pushed it too far | :14:29. | :14:43. | |
ahead. It was the first offence. The umpire allowed advantage. | :14:44. | :14:54. | |
There is no respite. It is relentless, the amount of running. | :14:55. | :15:11. | |
Good, clear, efficient by cattle. -- cattle. | :15:12. | :15:25. | |
High and wide and stretching all the time. There is no chance to breathe | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
almost. So much pace from Australia. The difference between | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
them and other teams, they stay as a unit. | :15:39. | :15:39. | |
them and other teams, they stay as The defenders are all past halfway. | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
A lot of players would lead the attack go and attack, but not | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
Australia. The team goes together. REFEREE: You cannot spend the whole | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
game doing this. It does not make any difference. You need to get it | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
sorted out, OK? He does not want the chapter. -- chatter. | :16:07. | :16:48. | |
And that just clipped the front of kettled's adds. He did well out of | :16:49. | :17:10. | |
that. This is a big game kettled's adds. He did well out of | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
that. This is a big for the Welsh goalkeeper. He wants to impress the | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
Great Britain selectors. Looking for inclusion in their squad. He has | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
travelled a long way around the world. Malaysia and Australia. He | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
has tried to improve his game. Look at that, they need to keep somebody | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
in the central area. Wheels need to watch out for that. Mark the space, | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
rather than the player. The Australians, if they marked man to | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
man, they will pull you all over the place. It is better to mark is | :17:54. | :17:54. | |
only. -- in a zonal way. Don't expect normal things to happen | :17:55. | :18:39. | |
here. Australia were difficult to play against even before. Any time | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
there was a free kick, big-ticket quickly. They are so good at | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
thinking ahead, always thinking. When the ball is dead is when they | :18:48. | :19:00. | |
are the most dangerous. He might have to do this in itself. | :19:01. | :19:15. | |
That was a strong drive. Once more, lifted, but picked up. And out of | :19:16. | :19:30. | |
the defence. Look at that, the sheer pace. And a shot at goal. And it is | :19:31. | :19:44. | |
a penalty corner. A fantastic run from Trent Mitton. Australia, | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
committed to attack with numbers. Outnumbering the Welsh defence in | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
the end. A great follow-up to win the penalty corner. Good commitment. | :19:57. | :20:06. | |
REFEREE: We are looking for a stick tackle before it hit the food. The | :20:07. | :20:14. | |
video referral... REFEREE: A stick tackle before the food. | :20:15. | :20:34. | |
The Luke McLean to -- that looked clean to me. He has a | :20:35. | :20:47. | |
hand on his back, which may be part of the offence. There is no clear | :20:48. | :21:04. | |
reason to change the decision. Wales lose their referral. Undeterred from | :21:05. | :21:14. | |
the video referral. It has been rejected. And for the remainder of | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
the match, Wales will not get an opportunity to use the video | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
system. They have used up their one card. | :21:25. | :21:44. | |
It goes right over the grandstand. The crowd duck | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
It goes right over the cover. And they are underway again. | :21:51. | :22:01. | |
A highball! Simon Orchard, he was thinking he was going to let that | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
but he did not get hold of it. -- leather that. | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
but he did not get hold of it. -- there is no respite from Australia, | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
forcing Wales, putting pressure on them every time. He was expecting | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
that to come back less quickly, I think. | :22:25. | :22:38. | |
Richard Gay has a headband on now, for Wales. Taking a blow from his | :22:39. | :22:54. | |
own player's hi all. -- highball. Doing well, Wales. 60 minutes left | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
in the first half. 2-0 to Australia. Doing well, Wales. 60 minutes left | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
They're having to work hard to get the ball out of defence. | :23:06. | :23:39. | |
This is where it is difficult for Wales. | :23:40. | :23:53. | |
Mitten is so quick. This is not helping the Welsh cause my having to | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
go back. James Korea keep this looks forward. | :24:01. | :24:20. | |
-- Kyriakidis. Excellent play from Wales. A great | :24:21. | :25:23. | |
spin. It shows that the Australians are assuming that -- are human | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
beings, they do make mistakes. He knew exactly what he was doing. | :25:31. | :25:32. | |
Taking the opportunity. Nicholas Reeves to drag out. Richard | :25:33. | :26:01. | |
Gay at the goal. He was waiting. But it does not happen. A very | :26:02. | :26:22. | |
productive period of play for Wales. The counterattack. And still the | :26:23. | :26:36. | |
ball is in play. Great strength by Australia. It was a fantastic run. | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
He was hacked about four times but still kept running. He is off for a | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
couple of minutes. They are reduced to ten players, Wales. So accurate, | :26:50. | :26:58. | |
those little passes between the players. And they keep going. We | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
heard the Welsh players talking to each other, fight, fight, fight. | :27:04. | :27:15. | |
Sensing danger for Wales. They are batting it around Australia. And | :27:16. | :27:26. | |
into the circle they go now. Advantage. Play it out here. Into | :27:27. | :27:43. | |
the circle now. Just not in the right place. It did catch a | :27:44. | :27:52. | |
deflection. Jacob Whitten, for Australia. He will get another | :27:53. | :28:03. | |
chance. Back out. This is a sustained period of play. Deep | :28:04. | :28:15. | |
defence. For Wales. The big overhead. He was screaming for this | :28:16. | :28:23. | |
to happen. Excellent tackle. Very good defending by the Welsh team. | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
Very patient and stoic. They are one man down. Australia are passing it | :28:30. | :28:36. | |
around. He is not five, is he? That will be five, OK? Efficient again in | :28:37. | :28:56. | |
exiting the ball out. I have already spoken to you twice. They are | :28:57. | :29:01. | |
getting frustrated. They have got the ball inside the attacking | :29:02. | :29:05. | |
circle, Australia. Richard Gay doing a magnificent job, the central | :29:06. | :29:15. | |
defender for Wales. Off for a couple of minutes. They have upped the | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
intensity and the desire that they want to put in this game. It has got | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
to be measured. You have got to keep the right side of the red line. The | :29:25. | :29:30. | |
red mist is rising a little bit, isn't it? It is hard to play | :29:31. | :29:39. | |
advantage out of the defence. And neck. The goal-scorer against India. | :29:40. | :29:47. | |
-- Andrew Cornick. Just a couple of minutes. They have been told a | :29:48. | :29:57. | |
couple of times, Wales. When they are close, they are dangerous on the | :29:58. | :30:01. | |
rebound. It is the team that puts it up which gets it against them, which | :30:02. | :30:08. | |
is Wales. It just requires so much skill, at the pace that we have got | :30:09. | :30:16. | |
at the moment. From both teams. Straightaway, he will get the ball | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
back. Can he keep it in the field of play? He cannot. No respite. While | :30:21. | :30:26. | |
the ball is inside the white line, Australia will continue running. It | :30:27. | :30:36. | |
has taken eight minutes to see that. Eight minutes left in the first | :30:37. | :30:43. | |
half. Intercepted. It was a big shove. Yes, that is a very good | :30:44. | :30:50. | |
decision by the umpire. He gets a big shot in the back. It was a bit | :30:51. | :30:57. | |
unnecessary. Understandable with the amount of pressure this Welsh | :30:58. | :30:59. | |
defence has been put under. Australia still pushing hard. The | :31:00. | :31:06. | |
thing is you do not want Australia not to be able to use their skill, | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
or any team in fact. When something like that happens outside the circle | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
it has to be dealt with. Agreed. Corners. Australia have got six and | :31:17. | :31:21. | |
Wales have got one. Australia have scored from two of their corners. | :31:22. | :31:26. | |
Again, he dries. And a magnificent Play. | :31:27. | :31:40. | |
Again, he dries. And a magnificent save right Kettle. It was hard to | :31:41. | :31:49. | |
pick. Just a little move to change the angle. He put it down and hit | :31:50. | :31:53. | |
the base of the post. It was a great strike but just outside the goal. | :31:54. | :32:11. | |
Brignall. Jones. A little soft pass but it was under hit that time. | :32:12. | :32:41. | |
I have a lot of admiration Wales have put on in the first 25 | :32:42. | :32:50. | |
minutes. They might be stretched but they are not overawed. Into the | :32:51. | :33:03. | |
circle it goes. Oh, what a cracker. What a cracker. What a finish. Jacob | :33:04. | :33:14. | |
Whitten. Very good strike. Look at this pick-up, where he makes this | :33:15. | :33:18. | |
shot. Fantastic pick-up. The most alert of all the players. A quick | :33:19. | :33:23. | |
free head. Transferred across and smashed into the circle. He put | :33:24. | :33:25. | |
free head. Transferred across and stick on it and smashed it into the | :33:26. | :33:27. | |
goal. Superb. A danger ball. | :33:28. | :33:31. | |
quick, isn't it? A danger ball. | :33:32. | :33:52. | |
relax for a second. Hugh Jones. He came in. Here is his brother, Zach. | :33:53. | :33:57. | |
He came in, made a foul, was looking at the umpire, Australia took the | :33:58. | :34:02. | |
free hit and off they went, bang, goal. You cannot relax for a second. | :34:03. | :34:06. | |
You cannot really emotionally involved. Keep playing, | :34:07. | :34:15. | |
keep playing. You feel hard done by. You cannot afford to do that. That | :34:16. | :34:19. | |
is one of the things I think Wales will | :34:20. | :34:23. | |
anything away from the top nations. They need to focus on the attention | :34:24. | :34:27. | |
that you bring to the game and play with hikers Cal to but do not | :34:28. | :34:30. | |
that you bring to the game and play that involved and upset about things | :34:31. | :34:39. | |
will stop -- with high intensity. -- upset about things. Wales up against | :34:40. | :34:50. | |
the world number one, Australia. He will get another chance here and | :34:51. | :34:51. | |
another save again by Kettle. Two will get another chance here and | :34:52. | :35:00. | |
a row. And they come away with the ball, the plucky Welshpool -- | :35:01. | :35:04. | |
Welsh. Jacob Whitten once again. Here is a chance for Wales to grab | :35:05. | :35:31. | |
the ball. On screen already. Very well struck. Getting the rebound. | :35:32. | :35:38. | |
What a save by Kettle. A great double save by this keeper from | :35:39. | :35:39. | |
Wales. Not the tallest of men, to be a | :35:40. | :35:47. | |
goalkeeper. Five foot eight. A little one too. Did not work at | :35:48. | :36:22. | |
time. Tiring after a monumental first half, chasing the Australian | :36:23. | :36:30. | |
team. All around the hockey centre. The Welsh team look a bit punch | :36:31. | :36:36. | |
drunk. Moving backwards and backwards. They have just got to try | :36:37. | :36:44. | |
and push out. They are defending the De instead of defending the 25. | :36:45. | :36:56. | |
Ruxton, the Welsh skipper. By now the Australians have got back in | :36:57. | :37:02. | |
numbers in defence. They have cut it off that time. Ten minutes left in | :37:03. | :37:03. | |
the first half. 3-0. Just got so many variations to play | :37:04. | :37:31. | |
with, the Australians. They have got the big strong power game, they have | :37:32. | :37:43. | |
got deft passing, clever. In the attack, what they try and do, if | :37:44. | :37:47. | |
they get tackled, they keep the numbers up there and keep the ball | :37:48. | :37:51. | |
in the danger area and do not let it out. | :37:52. | :37:57. | |
Ciriello. Safe. Out wide. Still in the defensive third for Wales. A big | :37:58. | :38:09. | |
stick check. And he gets two minutes. He has not | :38:10. | :38:26. | |
been on the field along for Australia but he is in the two | :38:27. | :38:30. | |
minute Jeff and he will stay there for the rest of this half and the | :38:31. | :38:36. | |
start of the second. -- share. -- seat. The Welsh have a full | :38:37. | :38:44. | |
complement. Australia are down to ten. | :38:45. | :39:01. | |
Hi, overhit. Expertly brought down. Just outside the circle. Penalty | :39:02. | :39:15. | |
corner given for that little bit of skill here. Right on half-time. | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
Which is a bit of a blow for the Welsh team. They will play counts | :39:20. | :39:24. | |
the penalty corner, until either a goal has been scored, or it goes | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
over the baseline, or outside the circle. -- play out. Yes, this is a | :39:29. | :39:45. | |
little backpass. With a reverse stick which causes trouble. The ball | :39:46. | :39:56. | |
pops out. Ockenden, I think. The foot. Straight out from the base. | :39:57. | :40:02. | |
Instructions from the Australian bench. Ciriello and sworn at the | :40:03. | :40:17. | |
top. -- Swan. Number 25 is up there as well. | :40:18. | :40:28. | |
Here we are. The last part of the first half. Can the Welsh keep it | :40:29. | :40:44. | |
out? Can Australia convert? Ciriello again. Again, it is picked off. An | :40:45. | :40:49. | |
excellent way to finish the half for Wales. There it is. They had all the | :40:50. | :40:53. | |
work deep in defence against the fast running, skilful skills of | :40:54. | :41:03. | |
Australia. Just having another look at that corner. Well done, David | :41:04. | :41:16. | |
Kettle. Preliminary action, it is 3-0 at half-time. | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
Kettle. Preliminary action, it is 3-0 And do not forget, Australia are | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
the top ranked team in the world at the moment, let alone in the | :41:25. | :41:27. | |
Commonwealth games. Wales are hanging on for the moment. The | :41:28. | :41:32. | |
four-week join the hockey we had -- before the hockey, we had some | :41:33. | :41:38. | |
stunning action had Kelvingrove. Scotland were playing against South | :41:39. | :41:46. | |
Africa. South Africa took it 14-10. A great effort from the Scottish | :41:47. | :41:56. | |
quartet. Well done to them. As we were saying earlier, there has been | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
great excitement up and down the River Clyde today because it is the | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
Clyde Flotilla. It has been a stunning sight. And alighted to say | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
that Andrew from the Royal yacht Association joins us. Tell us about | :42:11. | :42:14. | |
what we have been seeing. It is fabulous to see how busy it is. The | :42:15. | :42:22. | |
idea behind the Flotilla was, as you know, sailing is not a Commonwealth | :42:23. | :42:25. | |
Games sport, but we did not want to miss out on the action. We decided | :42:26. | :42:31. | |
to host a sailing event. We have a 250 boats coming down the river, the | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
largest assembly of boats ever on the river. We have brought just | :42:36. | :42:40. | |
under 2000 people down the Clyde as part of the journey into the centre | :42:41. | :42:46. | |
of Glasgow. That is seven times the size of Team Scotland. An amazing | :42:47. | :42:48. | |
number of people sailing through Glasgow. It does not matter that | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
ceiling is not involved in the games, you have done it yourself! | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
What about these shipping vessels? There is a big range of them. We've | :42:58. | :43:05. | |
seen a lot of gorgeous ones. The BBC got in trouble for calling them | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
boats and ships. Today, we have had 250 vessels, actually 290, | :43:10. | :43:16. | |
everything from small cruiser to large yachts. We have also had some | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
work boats, the Clyde Puffin. That kind of vessel. And we had one of | :43:22. | :43:30. | |
the ferries, a diesel hybrid. Again, it is not everyday you see ferry | :43:31. | :43:33. | |
coming down the Clyde at the head of 250 boats. The Puffin is my | :43:34. | :43:39. | |
favourite. I know it has been a great success for you. Thank you. | :43:40. | :43:43. | |
When it comes to boxing, Glasgow has got such a rich history in the sport | :43:44. | :43:48. | |
and that means that it has an incredibly knowledgeable and | :43:49. | :43:52. | |
enthusiastic fan base. They are just across the other side of the sick | :43:53. | :43:56. | |
see at the moment. And we have a great boat for them. -- | :43:57. | :44:03. | |
bbc.co.uk/sundaymorninglive. We have Michael Alexander from Trinidad and | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
Tobago, taking on Otto Josef, who took the opening | :44:08. | :44:34. | |
round in unanimous fashion. Five judges are scoring the contest. The | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
referee says no knock-down. It may have been landed incorrectly. I'm | :44:40. | :44:44. | |
sure that his trip to the canvas had something to do with Alexander's | :44:45. | :44:50. | |
right hook. A change in tactic. The Nigerian corner have is he told them | :44:51. | :44:57. | |
to close this fellow down. But at the same time, he have to move his | :44:58. | :45:02. | |
head. He has got to close the gap. That is no good. You cannot allow | :45:03. | :45:10. | |
this man the space to work. You have to crowd him or make him leave | :45:11. | :45:18. | |
first. One or the other. Alexander has a wide leg at stance. Upon his | :45:19. | :45:30. | |
toes, Alexander. A good right hand to the solar praxis. -- solar | :45:31. | :45:38. | |
plexus. As his hand touched the ropes, Josef was on him. A whipping | :45:39. | :45:54. | |
combination. It is fairly easy stuff for Alexander. You have a man in | :45:55. | :45:59. | |
front of you, and you know he's going to come. You just have to get | :46:00. | :46:05. | |
your time right and throw the correct shot. Simple stuff, for the | :46:06. | :46:17. | |
man in blue. Inside the final minute of the second round. Joe says is on | :46:18. | :46:24. | |
the front foot, picked off by some beautiful punching. Remaining | :46:25. | :46:34. | |
committed to the cause. He is not managing to close the distance | :46:35. | :46:41. | |
without paying a heavy toll. One of SECC's problems is that when he gets | :46:42. | :46:48. | |
the opportunity, he is pure on the inside. On the inside, his arms are | :46:49. | :46:57. | |
all over the place. He does not know how to work at close quarters. | :46:58. | :47:09. | |
A big left-hand fired in by Otto Joseph. He finds himself on the | :47:10. | :47:15. | |
canvas for a second time. But no knock-down. This man's speed and | :47:16. | :47:22. | |
length is creating big problems for Otto Joseph, struggling to get to | :47:23. | :47:25. | |
grips with the style and physicality of the man in front of them. Bread | :47:26. | :47:34. | |
and butter stuff for Alexander here. A lovely shots to the body. Otto | :47:35. | :47:41. | |
Joseph just cannot find room. Getting tangled up. And look at this | :47:42. | :47:50. | |
shot up inside of the glove. But it really is bread-and-butter stuff for | :47:51. | :47:53. | |
him. He has a slow moving target coming at him. You have to get the | :47:54. | :48:00. | |
timing right. Easy stuff for the man in blue. | :48:01. | :48:12. | |
Moving into the third and final round. The man in red is going to | :48:13. | :48:21. | |
have to do something drastically different. A good right hand. A | :48:22. | :48:31. | |
thunderous right cross. Alexander, looking to initiate a clinch. | :48:32. | :48:40. | |
He was in a comfortable position throughout the opening two rounds. | :48:41. | :48:47. | |
He appears to be on unsteady legs. A good shot from Joseph. The problem | :48:48. | :48:53. | |
Otto Joseph has is that Alexander keeps moving away. He took the sting | :48:54. | :49:00. | |
out. He got hot again, but because his movement is going backwards, it | :49:01. | :49:03. | |
takes a little bit of power off his right hand. Joseph could get | :49:04. | :49:09. | |
Alexander to come forward into that shot, he could have a devastating | :49:10. | :49:10. | |
punch. Both of these men have won | :49:11. | :49:19. | |
consecutive national titles. Otto Joseph took the national | :49:20. | :49:24. | |
championships at 60 kilograms in 2014 and 2013. Three consecutive | :49:25. | :49:31. | |
titles for Alexander. Starting in 2012 and coming through to earlier | :49:32. | :49:36. | |
this year. Both were eliminated in the World Championships at | :49:37. | :49:43. | |
Kazakhstan. He shared a ring with Robson at the Pan-American | :49:44. | :49:48. | |
Championships. But through with a beautiful right hand. Otto Joseph is | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
having a really difficult time trying to pin him down. The storm | :49:53. | :49:58. | |
seems to have blown out from Otto Joseph. He started well. The first | :49:59. | :50:06. | |
minute or so, but now the feet have slowed down again. He is looking a | :50:07. | :50:11. | |
little desperate. He is telegraphing his attacks, making it even easier | :50:12. | :50:12. | |
for Alexander. You must move your head, as you were | :50:13. | :50:28. | |
going forward, Joseph. But a little head movement, and you get caught | :50:29. | :50:33. | |
again. He is doing a wonderful job moving, Alexander, for the most | :50:34. | :50:37. | |
part. But caught by a right cross at the start of the round. Now that is | :50:38. | :50:42. | |
not a. Wrestling him to the ground. When his knees working contract with | :50:43. | :50:46. | |
the canvas, he whipped out a left hand. -- were in contact. I've seen | :50:47. | :50:55. | |
that cost other fighters the bout. Olympic boxing, of course, but very | :50:56. | :50:56. | |
similar to that scenario. The ten second clapper has been | :50:57. | :51:09. | |
sounded. A good left hand to the body once again. A signature shot | :51:10. | :51:16. | |
for Michael Alexander. A high uppercut. Michael Alexander, the | :51:17. | :51:22. | |
15th ranked boxer in the world, the highest ranked here, has surely done | :51:23. | :51:27. | |
enough to go through to the next round. He was shaken up by a right | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
cross by Otto Joseph early in the round. I thought it was -- that they | :51:33. | :51:40. | |
were going to get into a waltz at one point. | :51:41. | :51:40. | |
round. I thought it was -- that they were going to get into a waltz He | :51:41. | :51:42. | |
hit him on the deck, the only clean shot he landed. For Alexander, you | :51:43. | :51:46. | |
could not have asked for a better start to get yourself into the | :51:47. | :51:56. | |
tournaments. Ladies and gentlemen, we go to our judges scorecards where | :51:57. | :52:03. | |
we have a unanimous decision. In the blue corner, from Trinidad and | :52:04. | :52:11. | |
Tobago, Michael Alexander. And please, ladies and gentlemen, show | :52:12. | :52:16. | |
your appreciation, all the way from Nigeria, Otto Joseph. Michael | :52:17. | :52:21. | |
Alexander, the 15th ranked boxer in the world, goes through to the | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
second round of the Commonwealth Games lightweight boxing tournament. | :52:27. | :52:33. | |
After a really effective and impressive display against the | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
diminutive Otto Joseph. A unanimous winner on points. Alexander is | :52:38. | :52:40. | |
through to the next round. Otto Joseph exits after the first | :52:41. | :52:45. | |
preliminary bout. Back to the hockey, and Australia | :52:46. | :52:48. | |
have taken every Commonwealth gold. They will be confident of making it | :52:49. | :52:54. | |
five out of five. They are currently three nil up against Wales. Let's | :52:55. | :52:59. | |
rejoin the second half will stop -- second half. | :53:00. | :53:16. | |
A straight shot him. Just across the face. I think he was putting it in | :53:17. | :53:26. | |
front of the goalkeeper. Great technique. A lovely ball. Looking | :53:27. | :53:33. | |
for a diving forward. But he did not go down, which is unusual for the | :53:34. | :53:42. | |
Australians. I think Wales are doing the right thing. The options have | :53:43. | :53:51. | |
been cut down so quickly. That is what Australia do. They get in your | :53:52. | :53:54. | |
face quickly and let you know they are there. | :53:55. | :54:10. | |
They can keep up -- if they can keep up the tempo, and get something done | :54:11. | :54:22. | |
it will enable them to get a foothold in the game. If the keep | :54:23. | :54:26. | |
dropping back off the Australian team and not competing in midfield, | :54:27. | :54:29. | |
it will find themselves in trouble again. | :54:30. | :55:00. | |
Cornick Australia do. The | :55:01. | :55:57. | |
A good tackle. Well read. And for the first five minutes of the second | :55:58. | :56:07. | |
half, Wales have kept the Australian side scored less. Down three nil. | :56:08. | :56:19. | |
They are covering the area and side scored less. Down three nil. | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
filling the midfield up. Australia have moved their players to the edge | :56:24. | :56:25. | |
of That is simply magic. Whetton gets | :56:26. | :02:08. | |
his hat-trick. That is just being in the right place, having the skills | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
to execute. A good move all the way from Australia. It came from two | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
umpires not agreeing with each other, actually. Whetton is a really | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
good, quick footed player in that area. He is very quick. But it | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
developed from that hit out from the back. The closest umpire allowed it | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
to go, this umpire blew it. You could hear them on the intercom | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
talking. So, Australia get help. They just can't afford to relax at | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
any stage. You cannot take your eye of any of the proceedings. -- your | :02:56. | :03:11. | |
eye off. All four gold medals for Australia. 2002 in Manchester, | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
Melbourne and again in Delhi. They demolished the home side 8-1. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
They've only ever was -- ever lost one match at the Commonwealth Games. | :03:26. | :03:40. | |
Who did they lose against? I don't know. Another attack by Australia | :03:41. | :03:50. | |
bag, still looking for goals. Wales need to slow down a bit. That ball | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
was bouncing, it was pretty dangerous. Deep defence for Wales. | :03:55. | :04:05. | |
Now they come again. Wales survive but they don't get the | :04:06. | :04:45. | |
ball clear very easily. It is hard to get out of that gold ring of fire | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
Australia have put forward. If they can just get possession up the pitch | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
a little bit and retain it for a while... The answer to the question | :04:56. | :05:09. | |
you asked, who is the team to beat Australia? The only time they've | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
lost... Oh, it is a shot at goal! And they have scored. The Welsh team | :05:16. | :05:28. | |
have got one on the board. Goal number one for Wales and the crowd | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
have gone wild. A great move, the ball coming straight from the | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
middle. A bit of deflection, and that is the chink in the armour. | :05:41. | :05:51. | |
Watch the intensity now for Australia. Australia like clean | :05:52. | :06:02. | |
sheets. But the chink in the arm in 1978 was South Africa. | :06:03. | :06:29. | |
sheets. But the chink in the arm in close. Oh, gosh, tremendous hockey. | :06:30. | :06:38. | |
This is million-dollar stuff here. If you've never watched it before, | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
watching the broadcast, If you've never watched it before, | :06:41. | :06:49. | |
seeing a team looking to get their champion combinations, playing | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
some exquisite hockey. But they are being matched in spirit | :06:55. | :07:17. | |
some exquisite hockey. But they are suddenly decided to have a go. A bit | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
high, really, but look at that. I suppose the goalkeeper is fair game, | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
really, with all the gear. You would not have shied away. No, they wear | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
the pants, not have shied away. No, they wear | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
they are in the way! Great hockey, it is so intense out there. That | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
Welsh goal has heard the Australians. -- hurt. | :07:44. | :07:57. | |
Welsh goal has heard the left, they might even get a card out | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
of it. It was for the tackle out here. Is this a yellow card? There | :08:05. | :08:17. | |
was no way the ball was going to get past, so it was a deliberate foul. | :08:18. | :08:28. | |
So Kyriakidis for the tackle earlier, the yellow card. So, more | :08:29. | :08:43. | |
than five minutes for him. You wouldn't want to get | :08:44. | :08:44. | |
than five minutes for him. You bullets on the flesh. He's got | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
kneepads on. Takes bullets on the flesh. He's got | :08:51. | :09:13. | |
deflection at goal. Let's just have a look at number 19. Yes, you run is | :09:14. | :09:23. | |
straight down the line of it. -- he runs. If the teams do not have any | :09:24. | :09:39. | |
more referrals, the umpires can always have referrals as well. It | :09:40. | :09:52. | |
came off the ground, so they have said it is dangerous. It was a good | :09:53. | :10:03. | |
save, but it went into the armour. He actually battered the ball hard | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
down onto the ground. More times than not that would've gone the | :10:11. | :10:34. | |
other way, I guess. On the foot again. Australia trying their | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
routines, but it's not working. The ice bucket will be out big time for | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
the Welsh. The captain with the ball slapstick towards the goal, it hits | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
the crossbar. A superb save again. Right over to the other side of the | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
field, magnificent. I'm getting shivers would chink -- watching this | :11:08. | :11:35. | |
Welsh team played. -- play. They will get a little respite now. Have | :11:36. | :11:47. | |
a look at this save. Another double save, what a fantastic double save | :11:48. | :11:48. | |
that was. Both sides of his body. Australia calling for a referral. | :11:49. | :14:10. | |
They think it hit a foot. Can you hear me? The Australians are looking | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
for interference on the shot on goal. They want a penalty stroke. | :14:16. | :14:25. | |
That's a big call. It's only a referral. It's not a big deal is it. | :14:26. | :14:36. | |
They might as well have a go. He put his stick over the top. It's | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
the intent. He came from behind. It got caught. I'm not sure about that. | :14:45. | :14:53. | |
Don't know if I would give a strike for that -- stroke for that. But | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
then I'm a defensive Being an player. Attacker, I'd like one, | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
please. What are they going to say upstairs? The guy comes in from | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
behind. He tries to make a tackle. His the Aussie's foot, drops his | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
stick. Now is that a penalty stroke? You have to have the stick in your | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
hand.. Stick interfere? That could be a foul there, if he | :15:16. | :15:31. | |
put the player off. Everyone's having a very good chat | :15:32. | :15:46. | |
on that. A good look at it. Making their own decision. The players are | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
not queueing up. They've not gone to the penalty spot. That tells a | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
story. The Australians standing there, leaning on their sticks. | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
Gavin? Yeah. No clear reason to change your decision. Australia lose | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
their referral. OK. No penalty stroke, you lose your | :16:15. | :16:29. | |
referral and start from the sideline. Neither team now can | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
refer. Australia lose their referral. Love the confidence of | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
their Australians, not only to look for the penalty corner, but a | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
penalty stroke even. Fair enough, if that's the mind set. | :16:44. | :16:58. | |
Prosser got one on the forearm. speed. The skills of | :16:59. | :17:17. | |
Prosser got one on the forearm. huge amounts of interval training. | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
They do a lot of hockey-specific training | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
They do a lot of hockey-specific chuck the ball 25 to 25. | :17:26. | :17:48. | |
That was a good tackle. That was a big tackle. There was a big clash | :17:49. | :18:00. | |
there. Oh, brave. Great tackle. That's very | :18:01. | :18:15. | |
brave. for Australia, Australia beat the | :18:16. | :18:49. | |
Netherlands 6-1 in the final. It was a fantastic game of hockey actually. | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
The 12 of those guys are here now playing today. | :18:53. | :19:06. | |
While we have seen some exchanges between the umpires and the players | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
and the ability to talk to them and they'll | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
and the ability to talk to them and contributed to the game | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
and the ability to talk to them and useful for the players to understand | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
what the umpire is thinking. What isn't | :19:28. | :19:28. | |
what the umpire is thinking. What start questioning decisions | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
what the umpire is thinking. What time. Quite rightly there's been | :19:32. | :19:32. | |
what the umpire is thinking. What green card for that earlier on | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
what the umpire is thinking. What Also, they've got, | :19:35. | :19:55. | |
It's lost its preciseness, for Australia, the accurate passing. | :19:56. | :20:35. | |
It says a lot for what Wales have put on them in the second half. 3-0 | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
at halftime. What a fantastic, 31 shots from | :20:42. | :21:03. | |
Australia against two for Wales. Australia have | :21:04. | :21:04. | |
Australia against two for Wales. and lots of chances. That's the way | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
they play their hockey. But they don't always convert, five | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
out of 31 is one in six. That would have come off had he not | :21:13. | :21:35. | |
slipped. The whistle went, strong whistle, | :21:36. | :22:07. | |
Prosser turned around and said, "No." And the umpire said yes. | :22:08. | :22:26. | |
A five-minute, at least, on the bench. | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
Wales will have to work harder with their ten men now. | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
It's the second yellow card for Wales as well. That will be all up | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
ten minutes against the Australian players in the second half. They | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
will begin to get very tired now. So much hang in that circle. That's | :22:52. | :23:26. | |
superb defend thering from Wales not to give away a penalty corner. | :23:27. | :23:35. | |
Penalty stroke, there it is. This time called with the help of Umpire | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
Madden. I think it was the deliberateness of | :23:41. | :23:55. | |
the foul. Using the body. Yeah the assessment there is that he was | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
charged over. It was a deliberate foul. There's no doubt. The Welsh | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
skipper, Ruxton. He's lucky not to get a card for that, as well. | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
The Australian captain will come up to the mark. | :24:15. | :24:23. | |
David Kettle in goal for Wales will have his sternest test today. | :24:24. | :24:38. | |
Oh, he saved it! He looked like a save. I think it hit the post. | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
Yeah it was off the post. A good stroke, but just slightly too wide. | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
But Kettle put him off. I think Kettle is claiming a stick. That's | :24:51. | :25:00. | |
another one in the cued yos box for David Kettle -- kudos. | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
The captain is down for Wales, Ruxton. A head clash. Did it hit the | :25:09. | :25:27. | |
nose? No the cheek bone. That looks very painful. | :25:28. | :25:51. | |
Philpott up and about. We apologise for any heated | :25:52. | :26:04. | |
language. Ruxton is not moving. Strong words were coming from the | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
Australian captain as well Mark Knowles. | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
APPLAUSE He was remonstrating with the | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
umpire. Ruxton now is up and about, hopefully, on his knees. He's 32 | :26:20. | :26:28. | |
years of age. His 114th cap for his country. | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
APPLAUSE He looks a bit woozy. He has a bit | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
of an egg on that jaw, has he? Just by that left eye, side of the jaw. | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
That might be him done for the day. Seven minutes remain in the match. | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
Strong words exchanged from the Australian captain Knowles, who has | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
got the ball just in front of him now. | :26:54. | :27:54. | |
describe it as. Australia are putting this Welsh defence under | :27:55. | :28:04. | |
huge amounts of pressure. Can they get the hit away? Good work there by | :28:05. | :28:26. | |
Australia. That defence is pretty good. Australia is so strong around | :28:27. | :28:36. | |
that area. 12 corners, they've had. Wales | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
that area. 12 corners, they've had. the second half. But they have got | :28:43. | :28:43. | |
that goal, scored by Kyriakidis. the second half. But they have got | :28:44. | :28:52. | |
They will want a finish from this, the second half. But they have got | :28:53. | :29:07. | |
conversion. They are not the second half. But they have got | :29:08. | :29:15. | |
what lies ahead of them. Great corner defence again from Wales. | :29:16. | :29:23. | |
They've defended nine corners successfully against this | :29:24. | :29:30. | |
They've defended nine corners Australian team. That was Kyriakidis | :29:31. | :30:13. | |
out. A double team tackle. A trademark Australian goal number | :30:14. | :30:16. | |
six, four minutes remaining in the match. Finally, something from all | :30:17. | :30:26. | |
this pressure that Australia have had in the second half. Clever work | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
along the had in the second half. Clever work | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
easy tap in had in the second half. Clever work | :30:35. | :31:21. | |
number six. The Australian was within five metres, but there is no | :31:22. | :31:27. | |
defence, really. Such is the competitive nature of both these | :31:28. | :31:34. | |
teams, they are having a go. Wales is now causing trouble in the | :31:35. | :31:43. | |
Australian end. I guess the other thing is, there is the captain, a | :31:44. | :31:52. | |
big blow high on his left cheek. Head concussions these days, you | :31:53. | :32:06. | |
just have to be so careful. When teams target Australia, they just | :32:07. | :32:18. | |
pack away. You have to match them physically, otherwise you have no | :32:19. | :32:30. | |
chance. Kyriakidis keep fit in. -- keeps it in. So expert in bringing | :32:31. | :32:48. | |
down the high ball. He will be out as well, I think. A silly foul to | :32:49. | :32:58. | |
give away, if that's what it is. Easy enough to run behind someone | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
and just catch their leg when they are running forward like that. He | :33:02. | :33:08. | |
gets a yellow card for his trouble. Wales are down to ten men. Under two | :33:09. | :33:22. | |
minutes to play. And goal number seven! Perfect. Again, that ball | :33:23. | :33:44. | |
across the keeper, too far out of his reach. Gohdes's second and | :33:45. | :34:00. | |
across the keeper, too far out of Australia's seven. Just over a | :34:01. | :34:12. | |
minute left in the match. Very tired players from Wales. They had a big | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
game yesterday in the heats against India, going down 3-1. Their years. | :34:17. | :34:37. | |
He won't be getting any more action. -- there he is. | :34:38. | :35:10. | |
And the first match is finished for Australia in this Glasgow | :35:11. | :35:18. | |
Commonwealth Games 2014. It seems as though it started an age ago, so | :35:19. | :35:22. | |
much has happened. Referrals, both teams lost them. Heroes, you would | :35:23. | :35:30. | |
have to say Australia with their scoreline. But much to admire from | :35:31. | :35:36. | |
what Wales brought to the game. They shake hands, there weren't many warm | :35:37. | :35:41. | |
moments on the park, but it is Australia who have beaten Wales. The | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
world champions have started off their campaign 7-1. Yesterday, | :35:46. | :35:52. | |
Australia's ladies put nine goals past Wales. Today, 7-1 for the | :35:53. | :35:55. | |
Australian men. I leave the ashram, travel halfway | :35:56. | :36:44. | |
across the world to find my father, Oh, well. As Vashrati says, | :36:45. | :36:48. | |
gotta keep smiling! We don't tend to use the bathroom | :36:49. | :36:56. | |
together here. All right, well, | :36:57. | :36:58. | |
I'll catch you later. This ashram of yours, | :36:59. | :37:00. | |
it might be a cult. I take it back, | :37:01. | :37:04. | |
he's definitely Cuckoo's son. Back to Glasgow after this update. A | :37:05. | :37:27. | |
judge has been accused of falling asleep during a rape trial. He is | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
now being investigated. The trial had to be abandoned. People in Gaza | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
are stocking up on supplies during a pause in fighting. Bodies have been | :37:38. | :37:44. | |
recovered in London. These are not clouds, they are dust. A massive | :37:45. | :37:49. | |
storm has rolled through Phoenix, Arizona. Boxer Tyson furious has | :37:50. | :37:56. | |
pulled out of his fight tonight in Manchester. It is after his uncle | :37:57. | :38:03. | |
was taken seriously ill. And the largest flotilla ever seen on the | :38:04. | :38:07. | |
Clyde has sailed to Glasgow. It is thought around 250 small boats took | :38:08. | :38:13. | |
part. Now, back to live action from Glasgow. | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
Yeah, I am looking for a Prince Charming. | :38:18. | :38:19. | |
I don't think I'm ugly, but I don't think I'm, like, really pretty. | :38:20. | :38:23. | |
I say, "You've got something on your bum." "Really?" And I say, | :38:24. | :38:29. | |
We've been asking you to send in your photos. You have been | :38:30. | :39:40. | |
responding, this is me in my home away from home, the BBC studio. And | :39:41. | :39:53. | |
this is Andy on the flotilla. Stephen sent in a pretty good one. | :39:54. | :39:59. | |
That is fantastic. The Brownlee Brothers going for gold and silver. | :40:00. | :40:15. | |
And this is a fantastic photo. He is teaching the mascot his trademark | :40:16. | :40:17. | |
move. Please continue to get in touch with us. You can do so via | :40:18. | :40:33. | |
Facebook and Twitter. Now, plenty more still to come. We have said | :40:34. | :40:41. | |
Glasgow is famous for boxing bouts. We sent out Tony Singh to explain | :40:42. | :40:47. | |
how Glasgow has become the curry capital as well. We are a nation of | :40:48. | :40:59. | |
curry lovers. You cannot beat a Glasgow curry. Glasgow has one the | :41:00. | :41:10. | |
curry capital title in Britain several times. Probably at least | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
twice a week. That's more than me! several times. Probably at least | :41:15. | :41:20. | |
twice a week. That's more There is no question Glasgow is a city | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
infused with the spice and labour of curry, all banks to a diverse | :41:26. | :41:28. | |
community rooted in the Commonwealth. Indian immigrants | :41:29. | :41:35. | |
settled in Scotland as early as the 1920s, but it was the partition of | :41:36. | :41:38. | |
India explosion. Confronted with political | :41:39. | :41:46. | |
upheaval and rising unemployment, many | :41:47. | :41:51. | |
upheaval and rising unemployment, Commonwealth. By 1970, there were | :41:52. | :41:54. | |
around What was it like when you came over | :41:55. | :42:09. | |
in the 1960s? In 1962 there was a completely different for me, because | :42:10. | :42:13. | |
I came from village. In here, there was a tall buildings, dark | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
buildings, dark streets and the whole things. The whole thing was | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
And cold dark. . Very cold. In winter there was a lot of snow. Me | :42:22. | :42:26. | |
and my father opened a small press straunt only five tables. My mother | :42:27. | :42:32. | |
and my father, they were in the kitchen. It's more like home | :42:33. | :42:38. | |
cooking. Who were your clientele? We had most clientele from the | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
university, mostly Indian and Pakistani students. They started | :42:43. | :42:45. | |
bringing Scottish people also, Scottish students. They came and | :42:46. | :42:51. | |
they acquired the taste. Then the restaurant start picking up. Every | :42:52. | :42:57. | |
day was better than last day. Over the decades, Glasgow's Asian | :42:58. | :43:02. | |
community has helped change the palate of the city. Used to, you | :43:03. | :43:08. | |
know, there was a milder curry. And now, people have slightly hotter, | :43:09. | :43:14. | |
more spicy. They know the difference in cooking. Now the Glaswegian have | :43:15. | :43:21. | |
great taste. Today, the authentic flavours of India and Pakistan are | :43:22. | :43:26. | |
second nature to Glaswegians. There's more flavour in a Glasgow | :43:27. | :43:30. | |
curry. Curry is synonymous with the city. The two go together. Hotter, | :43:31. | :43:36. | |
it's sharper. I think it's just a taste of Glasgow. A taste of home. | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
Curry culture goes to the heart of this city. It's fused communities | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
and cuisines from across the Commonwealth and now Scotland's | :43:47. | :43:52. | |
serving it back to the world. Almost makes us hungry. Now, in preparation | :43:53. | :43:57. | |
for the Commonwealth Games, I was given the challenge of taking part | :43:58. | :44:02. | |
in skeet. It was against the Young Sports Personality of the Year, | :44:03. | :44:05. | |
Amber Hill, so I didn't fare very well. If you've ever tried sporting | :44:06. | :44:09. | |
clays, you'll know how difficult that is. If you think what skeet is, | :44:10. | :44:13. | |
it's a bit like Formula One, it's the fast relation of clays. | :44:14. | :44:22. | |
Shot gun requires competitors to fire at moving targets, disks called | :44:23. | :44:30. | |
clays, made of pitch and chalk. They are launched in different directions | :44:31. | :44:37. | |
from a trap. Targets are released on command from the shooter. A hit is | :44:38. | :44:41. | |
declared when at least one visible piece of clay is seen to fall from | :44:42. | :44:47. | |
the target. Targets are 11 centimetres and travel at 60mph. In | :44:48. | :44:52. | |
all shot gun events the shooter has to be standing with both hands | :44:53. | :44:55. | |
supporting the gun. In Glasgow, there are three separate shot gun | :44:56. | :45:00. | |
events, skeet, trap and double trap. In skeet, one or two clays are | :45:01. | :45:04. | |
launched out of different traps at different heights. One just over | :45:05. | :45:08. | |
three metres and a second just over a metre. In the trap event, shooters | :45:09. | :45:13. | |
fire at single clays, launched from a trap 15 metres in front of them. | :45:14. | :45:19. | |
They get two shots in qualification but only one in the final. In double | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
trap shooters are 15 metres from the trap pit and two clays are launched. | :45:25. | :45:29. | |
The shooters have one shot at each clay. In all events, the top six | :45:30. | :45:32. | |
shooters advance to the semifinals. Chasikos to shoot first. It's a | :45:33. | :45:55. | |
repeat of the semifinal. So another 16 targets and straight into the | :45:56. | :45:58. | |
action nowment -- now. | :45:59. | :46:15. | |
And he goes one, one again. Four from four for Chasikos. | :46:16. | :46:31. | |
They have to be shot in the order prescribed. Four from four for both | :46:32. | :46:45. | |
of them. High target first. Then the low in | :46:46. | :46:56. | |
the second double. This is the battle for the bronze | :46:57. | :47:27. | |
medal. This is the | :47:28. | :47:41. | |
Warlow drops one. And another. | :47:42. | :47:52. | |
Now a two-target gap opens up. Cyprus in both the bronze and Gold | :47:53. | :48:21. | |
Medal matches. He will feel the confidence of that | :48:22. | :48:40. | |
lead now. He drops one. | :48:41. | :48:53. | |
Warlow has to shoot clean. He collects them. | :48:54. | :49:08. | |
So Warlow now just one target hipped. | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
The final four targets. Still anyone's race. This is the | :49:13. | :49:20. | |
battle for bronze. He dropped both. So that has blown | :49:21. | :49:35. | |
it wide-open. This gives Warlow the opportunity to | :49:36. | :50:00. | |
win the bronze medal. He breaks it. So Warlow from England | :50:01. | :50:30. | |
takes the bronze medal, after falling behind early in that bronze | :50:31. | :50:36. | |
medal match. Chasikos fell apart in the last double missing both targets | :50:37. | :50:40. | |
to give Warlow the bronze medal in a remarkable finish to that bronze | :50:41. | :50:41. | |
medal match. A large English presence here | :50:42. | :50:55. | |
cheering Rory Warlow. Almost immediately, we will be moving into | :50:56. | :51:06. | |
the Gold Medal match. That's between Drew Christie and Georgios Achilleos | :51:07. | :51:08. | |
of Cyprus. While there's a little bit of cloud | :51:09. | :51:24. | |
here today, as you can see, light cloud, it's still a magnificent day | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
for watching shooting and a large turnout in the stand. A lot of local | :51:29. | :51:35. | |
Scottish people, but just generally happy to be seeing shooting. There's | :51:36. | :51:39. | |
the reception for Drew Christie from Scotland. Not only is he from | :51:40. | :51:44. | |
Scotland, but he's right from this area, near Carnoustie, Dundee, just | :51:45. | :51:47. | |
down the road. Hush from the crowd as he drops one | :51:48. | :52:29. | |
target now. The nerves are playing a big part | :52:30. | :52:49. | |
here. So Drew Christie is in the lead by | :52:50. | :53:08. | |
one target. A double miss. So nerves playing an | :53:09. | :53:33. | |
enormous part here. Settled himself and got two. So | :53:34. | :53:55. | |
Achilleos now has to shoot this station clean. | :53:56. | :54:21. | |
Anything can still happen in this battle. Achilleos now takes the lead | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
by one. This is the halfway mark of this | :54:26. | :54:27. | |
Gold Medal match. The order of the doubles changes, | :54:28. | :54:36. | |
where the first double has to be shot the low house target first. | :54:37. | :54:42. | |
The second double is the high house target first. | :54:43. | :55:10. | |
The Silver Medal is his, but he wants gold. And a double miss. | :55:11. | :55:17. | |
That's a huge blow. Six targets down. | :55:18. | :55:36. | |
He's got a sniff now of the victory that potentially awaits him. | :55:37. | :55:49. | |
Achilleos has really got some confidence going now. | :55:50. | :56:18. | |
The best Drew Christie could hope for now is a shoot-off. Now it's all | :56:19. | :56:23. | |
over. It's just the formality. it go at the end. He knew he could | :56:24. | :56:45. | |
not win the medal. A big disappointment for him,, but | :56:46. | :56:57. | |
Achilleos now to finish it. That is what the pressure of this | :56:58. | :57:01. | |
environment does. Achilleos now thriving on the confidence that he | :57:02. | :57:03. | |
has environment does. Achilleos now | :57:04. | :57:03. | |
thriving on the gained thriving on the confidence that he | :57:04. | :57:04. | |
has from Christie's misfortune. Super-confident now to finish that | :57:05. | :57:16. | |
off, dropping the two targets to win the gold medal, his second | :57:17. | :57:22. | |
individual Commonwealth gold medal. He has won the gold in Melbourne, | :57:23. | :57:27. | |
the silver in Delhi, and the gold here. A big cheer for the silver | :57:28. | :57:34. | |
medallist from Scotland, Drew Christie! And a big round of | :57:35. | :57:41. | |
applause for Drew Christie, he was no doubt extremely disappointed with | :57:42. | :57:45. | |
the way the semifinal went, but he has got a silver medal at the | :57:46. | :57:47. | |
Commonwealth Games in front of a home crowd, a huge achievement. | :57:48. | :57:54. | |
Within the next ten minutes, we will have the medal ceremony... The | :57:55. | :57:57. | |
official results shortly, but there is absolutely no doubt, Achilleos of | :57:58. | :58:04. | |
Cyprus has won the gold medal and Drew Christie has won the silver. | :58:05. | :58:27. | |
And these are the official results. George us like Ilyas -- Achilleos of | :58:28. | :58:34. | |
Cyprus is top. Scotland have got 17 medals. Back to | :58:35. | :58:53. | |
the hockey now. Will Scotland put their home advantage to the same use | :58:54. | :58:55. | |
here? They will certainly give it a try. | :58:56. | :59:25. | |
Nearly ready to start in this match, India played their second | :59:26. | :59:37. | |
match yesterday, going down to South Africa, 2-0. India beat Wales 3-1, | :59:38. | :59:46. | |
and it was Scotland going down to South Africa 2-0. | :59:47. | :59:55. | |
The sun is bursting through the cloud cover. The lights are on in | :59:56. | :59:58. | |
the middle. Time to go the umpire has checked | :59:59. | :00:18. | |
that the goals are in place. Scotland now ready themselves for | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
what India will bring to this match. | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
India will have learned from their suffocating defence from Wales | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
yesterday. Scotland starts, their second match | :00:36. | :00:46. | |
in the campaign. Can they get a win after their loss? | :00:47. | :01:17. | |
The strongest are evidence for India, Sardar Singh. | :01:18. | :01:35. | |
Scotland are really stretching a play. They have | :01:36. | :02:28. | |
Scotland are really stretching a very high in the Indian circle, | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
another one not far behind, so they are trying to stretch out the Indian | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
defence as much as they can and use the pockets of space in the midfield | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
to try to get the ball further the pitch. Number 13 | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
to try to get the ball further the It will be in play a lot when | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Scotland have the ball, have possession. | :02:48. | :03:05. | |
Kenny Bain, across the face, he had the right idea. Fantastic quick play | :03:06. | :03:15. | |
by Scotland, which I think will be crucial today. | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
by Scotland, which I think will be from McIntyre, unfortunately he did | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
not read it quick enough. Gordon McIntyre is under | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
treasure. He gets it onto the foot. Enjoying quite a bit of possession | :03:31. | :03:56. | |
already in this match, Scotland, the up and over, overhead. They were | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
looking for a bit of danger there. David Forsyth try sitting to the | :04:03. | :04:15. | |
circle, and it just misses by David Forsyth try sitting to the | :04:16. | :04:28. | |
man. Brilliant build-up play by Scotland there. Great crash ball. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
This dive was fantastic, when that put Kenny Bain for not, I don't No. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
But put Kenny Bain for not, I don't No. | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
far in this game. A lot of stick in there, almost | :04:40. | :05:01. | |
ending up like kindling wood. India just backing off from that | :05:02. | :05:21. | |
freeze it, causing a mistake and putting pressure on. | :05:22. | :05:41. | |
It is in! What a goal. He wasn't backing off. Fantastic quick canvas | :05:42. | :05:56. | |
by India, which is what you tend to associate with that style of its | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
hockey. I think it was a direct shot, I do not think there was a | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
touch from Ramandeep Singh. shot, I do not think there was a | :06:05. | :06:22. | |
Singh opens the scoring. And after just five minutes of play, seemingly | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
from nothing, and this is almost chameleon-like, the way that India | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
put their game plan together. It can be a | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
put their game plan together. It can but when it counts, they are in | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
there. They are convertors. Again, the goal-scorer has the ball. | :06:41. | :06:57. | |
He shows his versatility in defence. They are trying to manipulate the | :06:58. | :07:24. | |
Scottish defence. Just short of a shot on goal, | :07:25. | :07:49. | |
fortunately for Scotland. Referral here. Team referral for | :07:50. | :08:17. | |
India, looking for a foot. This is the ball on the baseline. Yes, it | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
has come off the right foot. The Scottish defence is already putting | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
on their penalty corner. Straightaway, Nicholas Parkes new it | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
hit his foot, and he is one of those putting on the kit. We have a | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
decision. It has come off the foot and it should be a penalty corner. | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
Thank you. So a defensive penalty corner, and for India, a chance to | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
convert from the very powerful set piece play at penalty corner. | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
Rupinder Singh is there, and he indicates it this time. That will be | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
a relief for the defence. They played up wide for Scotland. It is | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
Forsyth. In the corner now, but picked off. Fast legs. | :09:17. | :10:28. | |
Slipping the ball around, a goal after five minutes. | :10:29. | :10:57. | |
pitch India are very happy for Scotland to have the ball. In the | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
corners they are trying to press the ball carrier, trying to win it as | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
high up the pitch as possible. This time through the midfield. Danish. | :11:10. | :11:23. | |
Now where is Kenny Bain, the number 13? He has the ball, there he is. | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
Grassick. Clever work again, the aerial ball. | :11:28. | :11:39. | |
The hand eye coordination. Played quite a bit of his hockey at | :11:40. | :12:24. | |
Durham, Daniel Coultas. Now, for India. Still got it in the circle, | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
Just wait. Just wait. working hard. | :12:35. | :13:15. | |
Relatively even. the first half. Saturday afternoon | :13:16. | :13:29. | |
hockey, the Commonwealth Games campaign day three pool a. | :13:30. | :13:47. | |
Through the middle. Keeping the ball off the Indian sticks. Little touch | :13:48. | :14:06. | |
through, could not get it. Interesting battle going on | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
tactically because India are dropping off, if they do pick the | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
ball up in the midfield they end up potentially with a counterattack | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
having more numbers than the Scottish defenders. That is a | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
Ragan at. massive overhit from Rupinder. | :14:22. | :15:03. | |
The crowd becoming very involved in this match. As the wood, the home | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
team. -- they Still in the defensive third. But | :15:11. | :15:44. | |
opening it up. Stretching with, say to side. | :15:45. | :16:00. | |
Coming forward onto the ball always looks safer having a bit of | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
momentum. William Marshall, for Scotland. | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
Just what India were waiting for, for that mistake to come through. | :16:19. | :16:33. | |
Sardar. The captain has played in 188 matches for his country. | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
Sardar. The captain has played in just brilliant to watch on the ball, | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
some of the things that he can do. Typifies Indian hockey really and I | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
think it is quite interesting they influence the coaches having now, | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
normally when India picked up the ball they just want to attack all | :16:51. | :16:52. | |
the time, but you can see ball they just want to attack all | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
are getting the ball and getting used to keeping possession, moving | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
the ball to the other side of the pitch, which is something we have | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
not seen in the past with Indian hockey. | :17:03. | :17:27. | |
Marshall, collected the ball on his knee, delivers. What is the net gain | :17:28. | :17:38. | |
out of this for Scotland? Up it goes. Gareth Hall gets dispossessed. | :17:39. | :17:51. | |
The Indian captain there just to camp it down. -- calm it down. And | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
begin from the base. Chandi. It is India who have the advantage. | :17:57. | :18:27. | |
1-0. Gurbaj. Able to smack it past Jamie Cachia in goal for Scotland. | :18:28. | :18:37. | |
The long, ranging form of Nicholas Parkes could not pull that end. -- | :18:38. | :18:51. | |
in. A lot of possession turnover. Interesting nonetheless. Scotland | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
having to make the play, they are behind on the scorecard. | :19:00. | :19:18. | |
Prepare to go back, not always looking forwards. Chandi. Sardar. VR | :19:19. | :19:52. | |
Raghunath. Swift staff now happening for the Indians. Inside the circle, | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
onto the spot, Luke at all the Scottish shorts in that circle. -- | :19:57. | :20:13. | |
look at all the Scottish. Strong, forceful drive. | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
You almost feel if that is the only way India feel they can get the ball | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
into the circle then you are probably getting on top of them. It | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
is a strength of the right in, the disguised drag into the circle, that | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
if I was a Scottish player or part of the coaching staff I would be | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
taking positives from the fact that that is the sort of thing they are | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
trying to do. It must be so difficult if you think | :20:44. | :21:05. | |
what the Indians are good at instinctively, having to go back and | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
change what they have been doing for ever. What they have seen the heroes | :21:11. | :21:18. | |
do. If you are born and grew up in India playing hockey that is what is | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
expected of you, fast talking, quick hands, are fast attacking style of | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
hockey and I think you can see elements of it. They are happy to | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
keep the ball around the back and keep it moving, but when they | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
decided to go the go, so I think the style of Terry Walsh is slowly | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
coming through. We can hear the umpires helping one | :21:41. | :21:58. | |
another and congratulating one another whenever they feel it is | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
necessary. Good teamwork, the third team on the pitch. | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
Chandi has the ball for India, high on the left flank. | :22:11. | :22:20. | |
The captain comes through, delivers back. Rupinder. Quick feet. Very | :22:21. | :22:48. | |
quick sticks into that circle now, delivered, can they get the shot | :22:49. | :22:59. | |
away? Penalty corner time. That is all you have to do, get into the | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
circle, then either get a shot at goal or a penalty corner. Again it | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
is the speed of the hands and the movement, which the ball onto the | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
foot of Michael Bremmer. So difficult as a defender trying to | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
close down someone that is moving really, really quickly. The Indians | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
are very clever, topping the ball onto your boots just as you move | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
towards them to try and make a tackle. | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
It is India 2-mac-0 Scotland. Smiles on the faces of the Indians, | :23:35. | :23:47. | |
efficient work. Brilliant Fleck, he on the faces of the Indians, | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
Scotland really have to be powerful, at the nominal | :23:56. | :24:28. | |
Playing at speed, the temple has increased a couple of notches -- the | :24:29. | :24:38. | |
tempo. Scotland are scrambling in the defensive circle, the goalkeeper | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
Jamie Cachia does well. Free hit defence, Scotland can breathe again. | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
Now that India have got the second goal they will feel there is perhaps | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
a bit of a cushion now so they can try to take the game to | :24:56. | :24:56. | |
a bit of a cushion now so they can the style that they know they want | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
to play. If Scotland cannot keep India at bay there could be three or | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
four goals in this game. Almost. He had the mark. Ian Moodie. Gareth | :25:10. | :25:21. | |
Hall for Scotland. Can they make had the mark. Ian Moodie. Gareth | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
something with it? It is an acute angle to try and get something from | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
it. Looking for the shot that took too much time. The defence from | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
India comes again. It goes too much time. The defence from | :25:36. | :25:52. | |
baseline, end to end hockey. Frustration from the Scottish | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
baseline, end to end hockey. that they did not get a shot on | :25:59. | :26:00. | |
goal. I felt sorry for McIntyre in the circle, he tried | :26:01. | :26:02. | |
Brave defending from David Forsyth. thing, which was win a penalty | :26:03. | :26:30. | |
Brave defending from David Forsyth. It was directly into his back. 2-0. | :26:31. | :26:41. | |
Brave defending from David Forsyth. You cannot take your eye off the | :26:42. | :26:41. | |
ball or lose concentration for Scotland have | :26:42. | :26:56. | |
lesson learned. And I think you are absolutely right, the | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
lesson learned. And I think you are India have got | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
lesson learned. And I think you are has given them the confidence just | :27:04. | :27:05. | |
to be prepared to make a few more mistakes | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
to be prepared to make a few more things. Now for Scotland, have they | :27:14. | :27:13. | |
got a chance to get in their? Still no session. | :27:14. | :27:26. | |
Can they pull it back? McIntyre. He still has it and loses it. | :27:27. | :27:35. | |
Straight all, full stretch, no chance to put it up. | :27:36. | :28:09. | |
Scotland have been urged by their coach to find the pocket. | :28:10. | :28:19. | |
Nicholas Parkes could not quite dragged in. | :28:20. | :29:00. | |
Sardar Singh is so practical with what he does. He does not do any | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
more than he has to do, but what he does is so efficient. | :29:06. | :29:16. | |
Certainly feel that changing the air in the weather, a cooler breeze. A | :29:17. | :29:26. | |
great deal if they get it. Lifted. Using the stick above the shoulder, | :29:27. | :29:29. | |
which is fine if it is not dangerous, but making it tougher to | :29:30. | :29:41. | |
bring down in that circle. Look at those quick reactions! | :29:42. | :29:50. | |
Kenny Bain is not on the field at the moment, they need and | :29:51. | :30:09. | |
energiser. Great play by Scotland, and backhand | :30:10. | :30:21. | |
cross. Not sure it was dangerous myself, but that is what it has been | :30:22. | :30:25. | |
blown up for, and Scotland need to get on with the game. Scotland very | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
quickly group back in defence. Soft hands this time. How did he get | :30:31. | :30:50. | |
that ball? That is phenomenal. Quick skills. We have got both teams. | :30:51. | :31:08. | |
Referral for India. They said the ball came off the defender's stick | :31:09. | :31:23. | |
onto his body. Brilliant skill in the first place. Yes. Correct | :31:24. | :31:31. | |
decision that it did come off a hand, but it has definitely gone up | :31:32. | :31:39. | |
onto his knee. That was amazing, it to see what he was able to see. He | :31:40. | :31:46. | |
lost control of the ball. I have a decision. It has come off the arm | :31:47. | :31:52. | |
and onto his body, and therefore it should be a penalty corner. All | :31:53. | :32:05. | |
right. Correct decision, and India again at the penalty corner time. | :32:06. | :32:07. | |
Hungry for more. India are ranked number nine in the | :32:08. | :32:22. | |
world, Scotland are 25. And the scoreline, with five minutes left in | :32:23. | :32:28. | |
the first half, 2-0 to India. Rupinder Singh. Ready to execute, | :32:29. | :32:36. | |
and poorly trapped at the top. It might let them off for a brief time. | :32:37. | :32:41. | |
Scotland bumps it out over the backline. | :32:42. | :33:16. | |
Daniel Coultas through the middle, to wide, good ball speed, but not in | :33:17. | :33:36. | |
the right direction. That is a man with a lot of hockey | :33:37. | :33:48. | |
experience behind him, Rupinder Singh. Look at those are strong | :33:49. | :33:52. | |
wrists. Scotland with a chance on the top. | :33:53. | :34:12. | |
There is the man, Kenny Bain, he delivers, can you get the shot | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
away? I think they are asking for a strike year. Happy with the penalty | :34:17. | :34:30. | |
corner. Fantastic play by Kenny Bain there. Iain Scholefield with the | :34:31. | :34:39. | |
cross. Easy decision for Gareth Greenfield to make. This is where | :34:40. | :34:45. | |
Scotland's need to be composed. They are excited and they have won the | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
penalty corner. Now they need to drop the heart rate and execute the | :34:50. | :34:55. | |
penalty corner routine. Who is your pick out of the three that are | :34:56. | :34:57. | |
lining up at the top for Scotland? pick out of the three that are | :34:58. | :35:00. | |
Kenny Bain, Daniel Coultas... Plenty | :35:01. | :35:08. | |
crowds to the Scottish team. India have defended well. They come | :35:09. | :35:43. | |
away with the ball. All he has to do is catch the foot, get the freeze | :35:44. | :35:49. | |
it, and apply more pressure -- get the free hit. | :35:50. | :36:07. | |
It is the fluidity of the wrist when they have the stick going in the one | :36:08. | :36:15. | |
hand. It is sinewy but stronger, silky. Once again, doing all they | :36:16. | :36:23. | |
have to do, India. It is just so difficult to defend against. You try | :36:24. | :36:28. | |
to move forward to make a jab tackle and they just move the ball back, | :36:29. | :36:32. | |
and then they move it forward and fitted onto your body. Unfortunately | :36:33. | :36:35. | |
for Iain Scholefield there, exactly that situation. The Indian forward | :36:36. | :36:43. | |
is always in control. A penalty corner saved Stanley the rent, and | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
now it is India who are hot on attack -- saved down the other end. | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
now it is India who are hot on The two tallest men for India | :36:54. | :36:57. | |
weight, their opportunity to enter the scoreline. Over the top, to the | :36:58. | :37:03. | |
relief of the crowd. The last 20 seconds. Rupinder Singh | :37:04. | :37:50. | |
is pushed right up, hoping to get another... Free hit. A quick shot at | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
goal. The defence was sure. The countdown on for the half-time | :37:55. | :38:08. | |
hooter. There it is. It has been a very | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
hooter. There it is. It has been a India have done enough to get two on | :38:12. | :38:20. | |
the scoreboard. An impressive Indian side. They have | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
the scoreboard. An impressive Indian tournament for a long time. Having | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
would yesterday and coming out again today they are showing a statement | :38:28. | :38:31. | |
of intent, which is something great for hockey at the moment. It is | :38:32. | :38:36. | |
half-time here at the Glasgow hockey centre. | :38:37. | :38:42. | |

World Championship bronze medal in Milan in 2009. Last time out he lost | :39:14. | :39:21. | |
his opening contest to the excellent Irishman Jason Quigley, he went on | :39:22. | :39:22. | |
to take a silver medal. Whether he goes for another Olympic | :39:23. | :39:35. | |
Games to make it former Olympic Games, we have to wait and see, that | :39:36. | :39:41. | |
if he hits a Commonwealth gold, he may just retire. This is turning out | :39:42. | :39:51. | |
to be a survival mission. He is very poor, getting caught left, right and | :39:52. | :39:57. | |
centre. Vijender Singh is working downstairs very well. He would like | :39:58. | :40:03. | |
to finish this run if he possibly can. A minute gone in the second, | :40:04. | :40:08. | |
dominated the first. Some terrific body shots which followed up from | :40:09. | :40:13. | |
good right-hands to the side of his opponent's head. He does not throw | :40:14. | :40:19. | |
single shots, or very rarely. He does, nations of two or three | :40:20. | :40:25. | |
shots. He is hurting his man downstairs, but he is looking for | :40:26. | :40:28. | |
the right hand over the top, Vijender Singh. He brings the arms | :40:29. | :40:34. | |
and elbows of his opponents down. Then he whips the right hand over | :40:35. | :40:37. | |
the top. This is the bridge is looking for to finish off his man. | :40:38. | :40:54. | |
He must be in good condition, because he has taken body shots that | :40:55. | :41:05. | |
would have stopped a rhinoceros. Still one minutes ago till the end | :41:06. | :41:08. | |
of the second. Vijender Singh is just stalking his man, back to | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
orthodox boxing with a straight left jab. How lovely that is to see, a | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
straight left jab. Do you remember those days? I certainly do! Boxes | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
using their lead hands to set themselves up for the harder rear | :41:23. | :41:29. | |
hand. And a lot of the Indian boxes box very well, they are well | :41:30. | :41:36. | |
coached. This is a good performance indeed up till now from Vijender | :41:37. | :41:50. | |
Singh. I don't think there is any doubt about who has won this one. | :41:51. | :42:00. | |
Struggling now, Andrew, tough. -- Andrew Kometa. | :42:01. | :42:12. | |
They are smiling in the Indian corner, and he shakes his head to | :42:13. | :42:18. | |
see I should have got him out of there, but they will say keep | :42:19. | :42:24. | |
throwing those combinations. Andrew, tough foxy | :42:25. | :42:38. | |
Kometa did well to escape the banish of punches. -- barrage. | :42:39. | :43:07. | |
Well in command as we go into the last round. The man in red, Vijender | :43:08. | :43:16. | |
Singh. Good little bit of adjustment layer | :43:17. | :43:37. | |
from Vijender Singh. -- adjustment yonder. -- adjustment there. Making | :43:38. | :43:48. | |
his opponent think that he is going to attack but he doesn't, pulls back | :43:49. | :43:55. | |
and creates that room. Clever. I don't want to be patronising but I | :43:56. | :44:03. | |
have been impressed with Kometa sticking ability, he has taken | :44:04. | :44:08. | |
everything that has been handed to him and he is still there. Kometa He | :44:09. | :44:20. | |
must have a pretty good jaw as well as a rib cage because he has not | :44:21. | :44:24. | |
reacted to some of these punches which have been good scores. He has | :44:25. | :44:35. | |
got a good chin and a lot of bottle, which you cannot train. He | :44:36. | :44:42. | |
is still there. And I did not think he would get to this stage, the | :44:43. | :44:49. | |
shots that he was taking. In the second half of the last round | :44:50. | :44:59. | |
Vijender Singh well in control. Would she be frustrated that he has | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
not been able to finish this thus far inside the distance? I think so | :45:04. | :45:08. | |
yes, he is loading up a little bit more now, he needs to use the jab | :45:09. | :45:17. | |
more to set himself up. He has awarded up a little bit too much, he | :45:18. | :45:22. | |
has been very dominant, one-way traffic. But I think he will be a | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
bit frustrated, a bit disappointed that he has not finished this | :45:27. | :45:32. | |
opponent off. That was a good right hand by Vijender Singh and Kometa is | :45:33. | :45:39. | |
covering up. Impressive performance. | :45:40. | :45:50. | |
Bronze medallist from four years ago, lost to Anthony Ogogo. | :45:51. | :46:07. | |
Little hop and a skip by Vijender Singh. This man will take a lot out | :46:08. | :46:17. | |
of this, it was a very good performance by him, but his heart | :46:18. | :46:21. | |
must have dropped when he saw his name come out of the draw against | :46:22. | :46:27. | |
Vijender Singh. Yes, luck of the draw, drawn one of the favourites. | :46:28. | :46:33. | |
The gender sign on the attack constantly, but give credit to | :46:34. | :46:39. | |
Kometa, he is as tough as they come. Still coming back with the odd | :46:40. | :46:43. | |
strike in that last round, the man in blue. Gritting his teeth, but | :46:44. | :46:48. | |
getting caught with big punches. I think Vijender Singh overall a | :46:49. | :46:53. | |
little bit frustrated but nevertheless he has got the victory. | :46:54. | :47:02. | |
The winner by unanimous decision and through to the next round, in the | :47:03. | :47:06. | |
red corner, representing India, Vijender Singh. I have a feeling | :47:07. | :47:20. | |
that two out of the three judges gave him 10:8 rounds. He will be | :47:21. | :47:28. | |
there or thereabouts when in the medals are being given out. | :47:29. | :47:33. | |
Someone who has a fabulous collection of medals is England's | :47:34. | :47:40. | |
Mick goal and I and awaited to say that earlier today GE quailed -- | :47:41. | :47:47. | |
equalled the Commonwealth Games record. I huge congratulations, | :47:48. | :47:54. | |
equalled the Commonwealth Games were lured back out | :47:55. | :48:01. | |
equalled the Commonwealth Games just for this? Yes, it | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
equalled the Commonwealth Games that was not reached after Delhi and | :48:06. | :48:08. | |
it was in the back of my mind for about a year or so and then I agreed | :48:09. | :48:10. | |
with about a year or so and then I agreed | :48:11. | :48:15. | |
go. Are fabulous celebration as well when we saw you getting the medal, | :48:16. | :48:21. | |
very flamboyant. The crowd were fantastic. Did you ever have any | :48:22. | :48:28. | |
doubts that she would be able to come back to that same level? | :48:29. | :48:35. | |
doubts that she would be able to the time. Doubt creeping and all | :48:36. | :48:37. | |
doubts that she would be able to time. My training there has not been | :48:38. | :48:40. | |
particularly good with the air pistol but it was OK on the day and | :48:41. | :48:51. | |
particularly good with the air got to the doubt. -- the closer I | :48:52. | :48:58. | |
got the bigger the doubt. Free pistol is my strongest event so I am | :48:59. | :49:03. | |
more positive about that, I am looking forward to it. We will see | :49:04. | :49:09. | |
what happens. If I perform to my best I should be in with a good | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
shout of making the final and in the final it could be | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
shout of making the final and in the and see. What happens after Monday, | :49:20. | :49:23. | |
because if Philip comes back to reclaim it, then you could be in and | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
out of retirement for a long time to come? I think Philip is a little bit | :49:28. | :49:33. | |
over the hell no, he was getting on a bit when I was just a young lad. | :49:34. | :49:44. | |
-- over the hill. I wish him well. What about you, will you stop | :49:45. | :49:48. | |
shooting, will you still get involved recreationally? I will | :49:49. | :49:55. | |
still get involved recreationally, I will still do national competitions | :49:56. | :49:58. | |
and I will hopefully get into coaching at a high level. I am | :49:59. | :50:03. | |
already a regional coach and I am hoping to improve my qualifications | :50:04. | :50:07. | |
and hopefully become national coach or England coach, we will see there | :50:08. | :50:13. | |
are any jobs available. Could you hold up your medal for us? I just | :50:14. | :50:21. | |
happen to have it there. If you ever aware of them all together you are | :50:22. | :50:26. | |
going to need a very strong neck. Thank you for joining us. Lovely to | :50:27. | :50:34. | |
speak to you. Thank you. Since we were last at Glasgow Green India | :50:35. | :50:37. | |
have scored another goal against Scotland. They have come back out | :50:38. | :50:45. | |
for the second half and gone 3-0 up. Now we can rejoin the match alive | :50:46. | :50:53. | |
and see how Scotland will fear. -- fair. | :50:54. | :51:09. | |
COMMENTATOR: Good division they are. Grassick, the captain for Scotland | :51:10. | :51:23. | |
-- good vision. That is the past Scotland need to make, and more | :51:24. | :51:28. | |
sympathetic pass, played into space, Alan Ring the strikers to look | :51:29. | :51:33. | |
around them as they track the ball rather than having to concentrate | :51:34. | :51:38. | |
solely on trapping the ball -- allowing. Pressure on the ball | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
carrier. Rupinder finds his captain Sardar. | :51:45. | :52:00. | |
Soft hand touch. Those are the subtleties that I was seeing in the | :52:01. | :52:08. | |
game. -- that I love seeing. Into the circle. That is just magic. | :52:09. | :52:17. | |
Chandi has got a little shave en masse. From nothing. -- on this. | :52:18. | :52:27. | |
Such a beautiful deflection. Using the speed of the ball coming across | :52:28. | :52:28. | |
the circle. Deflected it on the near the circle. Deflected it on the near | :52:29. | :52:38. | |
the far post and it is something he makes look very easy but it is not. | :52:39. | :52:47. | |
Fantastic goal made to look very easy by Chandi there. The angle from | :52:48. | :52:54. | |
right outweighed, where the drive came in -- right outweighed. That is | :52:55. | :53:02. | |
what we have come to admire from India. | :53:03. | :53:29. | |
They get one back, Scotland, penalty corner time. They have already had | :53:30. | :53:35. | |
one. Was called very quickly, off the | :53:36. | :53:52. | |
shins are of the Indian defender. -- of the shin pad. If Scotland can get | :53:53. | :54:00. | |
this one here and get the crowd behind them then it could help lift | :54:01. | :54:07. | |
them for the second half. Vocal support from the Scottish crowd. Our | :54:08. | :54:14. | |
wonderful save from the vice captain PR Sreejesh. | :54:15. | :54:26. | |
India trying to get out of trouble in defence, they will get a free | :54:27. | :54:34. | |
hit. They are loving having Chandi back in the side. Great effort from | :54:35. | :54:42. | |
Coultas. The free hit to Scotland. Runs off | :54:43. | :55:08. | |
the stick of an India. Kenny Bain is just a little frustrated, thought he | :55:09. | :55:10. | |
was impeded. Coultas. Soft hand pass into the | :55:11. | :55:43. | |
middle for Scotland to latch onto. The crowd willing on the home team. | :55:44. | :55:52. | |
Clever little jink into the circle, can he get the shot away? | :55:53. | :56:06. | |
Do you teach that when you are coaching? I probably shouldn't, but | :56:07. | :56:13. | |
having seen how effective it was I probably will. Forward momentum, one | :56:14. | :56:27. | |
hand on the stick. 4-0. India over Scotland. Have not allowed the Scots | :56:28. | :56:36. | |
to get into the game at all. Here is another foray again. | :56:37. | :57:08. | |
ball anywhere into the goal. Used all of his | :57:09. | :57:54. | |
ball anywhere into the goal. Used all of strength and power. | :57:55. | :57:58. | |
Fantastic. When you are in goal and you have a drag flick back can put | :57:59. | :58:04. | |
the ball into the different corners, it is so difficult to | :58:05. | :58:50. | |
India are playing almost like Australia at the moment. Iain Moody. | :58:51. | :59:04. | |
You have got to feel the Scotland a You have got to feel the Scotland a | :59:05. | :59:13. | |
moments, being in the right place. They have still got the ball. | :59:14. | :59:15. | |
moments, being in the right place. of tournaments do you have to raise | :59:16. | :59:34. | |
hard so defensively. But they are attacking in ones and two. So it | :59:35. | :59:37. | |
will be hard for them to get attacking in ones and two. So it | :59:38. | :59:49. | |
scoresheet. We have seen from the win yesterday I enjoyed over Wales, | :59:50. | :59:56. | |
there has been a lot more confidence exuding out of this Indian side. The | :59:57. | :59:57. | |
after that exuding out of this Indian side. The | :59:58. | :00:05. | |
Cup, they probably could have been on four points after | :00:06. | :00:06. | |
Cup, they probably could have been ended up on zero, just because they | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
Cup, they probably could have been conceded goals towards the end of | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
the game. If you can get an Indian side playing confidently, they are a | :00:19. | :00:28. | |
fantastic team to watch. The two umpires working together. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
fantastic team to watch. The two equipment is getting well used. It | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
is rolling off the know exactly where the space is and | :00:40. | :00:57. | |
are. Simply penalty corner. Three from five conversion rate is superb. | :00:58. | :01:12. | |
Rupinder Singh this time. It is outrageous. It is the angle and the | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
precision they are able to put it in. It wasn't cleanly stopped on top | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
of the circle so he did well. World-class. The drag is over two or | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
three yards. I don't think any of the Scotland defender 's even saw | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
that until they came back out of the goal. 6-0 and 21 minutes to play. | :01:39. | :01:59. | |
You can't have the advantage and play, then want to get it back. It | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
does not come back to you if it does not come off. | :02:04. | :02:23. | |
Daniel Coultas. Iain Moody has been very busy at the front for | :02:24. | :02:36. | |
Scotland, has done a power of running. He has, but unfortunately | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
has almost been a lone ranger. One or two strikers making it into the | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
circle and it is difficult to take on for Indian defenders by yourself. | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
Harmlessly over the baseline. Not a lot of options. Scotland working | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
hard but nothing is coming off for them. | :03:11. | :03:22. | |
The captain, Saar da Singh. Was going to drive it but opted for the | :03:23. | :03:33. | |
past. Electrifying pace. Look at that! Just spoiled by the finish. | :03:34. | :03:45. | |
Magic. Absolutely brilliant spin here by Mujtaba. He not only manages | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
to spin on the spot, but passes the ball as well. | :03:55. | :04:07. | |
I don't think I have ever seen Indian players run so hard at the | :04:08. | :04:40. | |
defenders with the ball. Chandi is back on. | :04:41. | :04:56. | |
India managed to put two past Scotland in the first half and since | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
then they have managed another four. I think we will be leaving the | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
hockey. Now it is time to join weightlifting. When I say the words | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
precious Mackenzie, I don't mean me. He is a South African born | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
weightlifter who want Commonwealth Games medals for New Zealand and | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
also England. The story is fascinating. He has done it. He did | :05:23. | :05:40. | |
not quite reach five feet in height but became a symbol of the smiling | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
strongman. Precious McKenzie, delighted with that. He was not born | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
to be as strong as this. He was born in Durban, South Africa in 1936. The | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
teenager in the apartheid years. His father was killed by a crocodile and | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
young precious McKenzie was placed into care. Sometimes abused but | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
always poor. He had a dream of being a circus acrobat. He started to lift | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
weights. He became so good, he was selected for the 1964 Olympic Games | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
in Tokyo. As long as he Access did being segregated from the white | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
members of the South African team. He refused. This is a joke. Precious | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
came with his family to England and began a new life. He made leather | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
for shoes in Northampton and then he studied physical education in | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
Bristol. What he did with absolute consistency was when at the | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Commonwealth Games. Precious McKenzie. Trying for a new | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
Commonwealth Games record in the snatch. 1966, gold medal in Kingston | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
Jamaica. 1970, gold medal in Edinburgh. Precious McKenzie. Four | :07:10. | :07:20. | |
feet 11. He is going to do it. He is going to do it! He has done it! What | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
a wonderful lift by precious McKenzie. 1974, gold medal in | :07:25. | :07:44. | |
Christchurch, New Zealand. He is Burke, makes it look so easy. New | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
records in British weightlifting in the Commonwealth Games. After he | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
emigrated to New Zealand and that the age of 42, he won the gold medal | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
for his new homeland in 1978. Commonwealth Games history. Four | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
gold medals, nobody has ever done it. Precious McKenzie, a tower of | :08:03. | :08:15. | |
strength against oppression. Weightlifting takes place in a | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
competition area of four metres square. 15 categories on body | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
weight, eight for men and seven for women. Each competitor has a minute | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
to attempt at their lift from the time their name is announced. Three | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
referees adjudicate each lift, once a competitor is motionless, a buzz | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
that will complete the lift. There are two types of competition lift. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
The snatched and the clean and jerk. The snatch isn't uninterrupted | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
movement. The clean and jerk has lived in two distinct phases. In the | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
first part, the rah is -- bar is raised to chest height. Demba Ba is | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
lifted above the head in the second part. | :09:08. | :09:22. | |
Michaela Breeze from Wales came out of retirement and is in a | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
head-to-head with Zoe Smith. She is England's first Commonwealth Games | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
medallist. Let's head over and join them. She did carry the Queen's | :09:35. | :09:58. | |
baton. This is the serious bit. She came here for the gold medal. That | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
is what she came out of retirement for. She comes into the second half | :10:05. | :10:15. | |
of the competition but only with one K advantage over her rival, Zoe | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
Smith. Zoe is planning on being two kilos heavier. That was very safe. | :10:25. | :10:48. | |
Don't use place on the podium. 201 kilos. The | :10:49. | :11:03. | |
Commonwealth Games record is 202, set in Manchester 2002. | :11:04. | :11:19. | |
Commonwealth Games record is 202, There are plenty of challenges. Zoe | :11:20. | :11:33. | |
Smith has gone to 112. I have a feeling the Nigerian might actually | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
come out on that. At the moment, Michaela is 109. The Welsh team | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
deciding where they want to go. Michaela at the heart of the | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
decision and looking hard as Michaela at the heart of the | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
clock counts down. She has about 40 seconds. They have made the | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
decision. None of them have seconds. They have made the | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
to do with the decision, but Michaela is in control of her | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
destiny here. I think the clock ran out on her. She is not happy with | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
that. She is deciding if she wants to spend time with this 109. It is | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
only one K, and I would have expected at least two. The clock ran | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
out on her and she is shaking her head. They ran out of time to make a | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
decision. It does not matter, Michaela is so strong. She will get | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
over the frustration, make this lift and make a bit more ground in the | :12:42. | :13:04. | |
clean and jerk. This will equal the Commonwealth Games record total. | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
Look at that focus. Just forgets what just happens. She is saying | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
sorry to the crowd. It doesn't matter. Sometimes that is the reason | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
athletes should not get involved because coaches are very aware of | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
the time limit and there was too much chatter. There may have been, | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
but I think they could have taken a quick change to buy themselves some | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
more time lost it was being loaded. But this is high-stakes poker and it | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
is easy to look back and say what they should have done. Now they have | :13:47. | :13:56. | |
two setback and be very sharp and be very sharp about what other | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
opponents do -- they have two remember she failed 95 kilograms | :13:59. | :14:14. | |
twice so this takes her up to 200. She weighed at 57.56 so she is | :14:15. | :14:25. | |
heavier than Michaela Breeze. But this is the first step to get her to | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
the platform to work from. Easily puts herself up to 200 but as | :14:28. | :14:52. | |
you said she is heavier than Michaela. I just wonder how much she | :14:53. | :15:03. | |
has got in the clean and jerk? This is the young women who injured | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
herself in Delhi and had to pull out of the competition. She is four | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
years old or stronger and wiser. And wants it all the more. In the | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
Nigeria team they are all about success, you are expected. That is | :15:23. | :15:35. | |
correct. 111 kilograms here. This would put her in third place. My | :15:36. | :15:46. | |
advice to her as a coach would be wait for the 32nd buzzer to ring | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
before you start lifting, it is very distracting when it goes off as it | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
did in the middle of a lift. It might be that that failure may set | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
her on course for another fourth-place finish. | :16:07. | :16:19. | |
She is coming in at 111 rather than 112. I would not read too much into | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
this but the stories we have heard, they suggest she is very good at | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
this. That was an easy clean. That was quite a light for horror, | :16:31. | :16:46. | |
as we have said in the past it is more of a challenge to come out at a | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
light weight, because as soon as you come out give everything to it. At | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
the moment she is eight kilograms down on Michaela Breeze, looking to | :17:00. | :17:12. | |
come out and overtake that deficit. That is another advantage Michaela | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
Breeze has, in a sense the kilograms she did not get by not putting it up | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
to Mac kilograms she gets it back with the lighter body weight. If I | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
was her I would be hoping that I could make these heavier weights | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
whilst watching back these girls play out the clean and jerk. | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
Power jerk. She has clearly got some back pain which may be why she chose | :17:42. | :18:04. | |
to do the power jerk. Possible that getting into the splits position | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
puts too much pressure on the lower back. That puts her three kilograms | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
bank Michaela Breeze but once again she is that bit heavier, she needs | :18:16. | :18:26. | |
four to go past the Welsh woman. Sorry Smith on 112 kilograms about | :18:27. | :18:36. | |
to come out. -- Zoe Smith. She's bringing this out add to the 92 that | :18:37. | :18:49. | |
she had from the snatch these -- snatch bays. This is first the | :18:50. | :18:50. | |
shopping. Has a little look around. By the | :18:51. | :19:00. | |
police. -- quiet please. Big relief. I would like to look at | :19:01. | :19:26. | |
that again. I don't know if it is for a walk out but it looks | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
questionable to me on the elbows. Little pat on the back for her | :19:30. | :19:49. | |
there. Maybe shoulder movement again. I think shoulder movement, | :19:50. | :20:01. | |
that was correctly called. Michaela Breeze has one attempt left, she has | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
put it to 113. I think Zoe is very strong with the jerk, I think when | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
you jerk awake to await with the most effort possible it comes out in | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
the form of instability in the shoulders -- when you jerk a lighter | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
weight with the most effort possible. | :20:31. | :20:47. | |
What they are trying to do, the English camp are trying to persuade | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
Michaela Breeze that she has got to come out. She needs to get this lift | :20:56. | :21:03. | |
so that she can sit in the back and watch it play out on television and | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
hope that the athletes are not able to surpass her. You have got to | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
think about the challenger from India. This could be the lift which | :21:16. | :21:28. | |
is the destiny of the competition. That is correct, it will decide | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
everybody is next attempt. And it is a great clean. | :21:34. | :21:48. | |
That is so frustrating because it is a weight that she has done this | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
season. She cannot get the gold medal. She is currently in silver | :21:56. | :22:04. | |
medal position. Zoe Smith is in gold and the Nigerian is currently in | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
bronze. She said to me before the competition that she has done | :22:07. | :22:18. | |
everything she can, no regrets or excuses, that is the best way | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
everything she can, no regrets or come into a competition. There is no | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
way you can save and lift, that is weightlifting, you | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
way you can save and lift, that is going wrong but you have already | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
pushed it in the wrong direction. If Michaela Breeze ends up on the | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
podium and gets a silver or bronze, firmly that is effectively for | :22:47. | :22:47. | |
horror. -- for me that is a firmly that is effectively for | :22:48. | :23:05. | |
for her. She is on 200, so this five | :23:06. | :23:22. | |
kilograms increase is to go ahead of Zoe Smith. | :23:23. | :23:49. | |
Good clean. That changes things. Michaela is looking on and hoping, | :23:50. | :24:07. | |
wondering, will the Nigerian make the next lift? I posed the question, | :24:08. | :24:17. | |
how much more has she got, and it just seemed to me that the first one | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
was good but not utterly convincing that she could go a long way into | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
the competition. The Indian has gone to 116 which would put her at 199, | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
she very possibly in this competition is going to have the | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
last launch. Zoe Smith Israeli in the driver seat, putting the | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
pressure on everyone else. -- Zoe Smith is really in. | :24:56. | :25:09. | |
This to turn the screw on horror Nigerian and Indian opponents. Needs | :25:10. | :25:20. | |
to take her time. There we go. Still very light in the jerk. Throwing the | :25:21. | :25:29. | |
bar overhead no problem. This is where she loves to be. You can see | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
Michaela Breeze back the congratulating her, again the sign | :25:38. | :25:39. | |
of a true athlete, great sportsmanship. She finds herself | :25:40. | :25:48. | |
equal to the Commonwealth Games record. She has a final attempt to | :25:49. | :25:59. | |
go after that record. She is already the Commonwealth Games record holder | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
as far as the total is concerned, and she will be so long as she holds | :26:06. | :26:07. | |
off all our opponents. This is to take her to 204 which | :26:08. | :26:28. | |
would eclipse Michaela Breeze and Bush are down to third place. -- | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
push her down. She has been waiting for a moment | :26:34. | :26:45. | |
like this. For four years. It is not going to survive. So | :26:46. | :27:11. | |
close. Holding the weight over her head for that long and not being | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
able to secure it. That is heartbreaking. I feel so sorry for | :27:17. | :27:36. | |
her. Thinking you have it in your hands, thinking you have made up for | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
that disappointment or four years ago. Zoe Smith is alive, but have a | :27:41. | :27:51. | |
look at this. She knew this was the moment. She is going for the | :27:52. | :28:04. | |
Commonwealth record. And second place. She is going the silver and | :28:05. | :28:12. | |
the Commonwealth Games record. The bar has gone up a kilo. Having a | :28:13. | :28:19. | |
look at this, six kilos up. This is the 206. David, she is strong | :28:20. | :28:26. | |
enough. My question is, does she think she can do this in this | :28:27. | :28:36. | |
moment? And, she does. So, Nigeria go into second place. She takes the | :28:37. | :28:45. | |
clean and jerk Commonwealth Games record. That record has been | :28:46. | :28:55. | |
standing since 2002. Zoe Smith has one attempt left. But Meena Kumari | :28:56. | :29:06. | |
has two. She is waiting to see what she has to do. She is sitting down | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
at 190 four and what she is looking at is the bronze medal or the | :29:13. | :29:17. | |
silver. If she is really bold, then the gold medal. She will be using | :29:18. | :29:22. | |
those two attempts to get on the podium. This is the crucial lift the | :29:23. | :29:28. | |
Zoe Smith to dishearten her Indian opponent? Yes, she basically has two | :29:29. | :29:38. | |
aces up her sleeve right now. What have they done with Zoe? She is | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
going for the record. She is not even trying to get on the podium | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
with this lift. It would put her into fourth. Meena Kumari on the | :29:49. | :29:57. | |
stage now. The policewoman from the Punjab, first Commonwealth Games. | :29:58. | :30:08. | |
This takes her to the 200 mark. It doesn't give her a medal, but it | :30:09. | :30:13. | |
takes her pretty close. What strength. Still able to stand up, no | :30:14. | :30:22. | |
problem. Taking quite a bit of time here. Maybe too much time, too much | :30:23. | :30:31. | |
thinking. Now she has a difficult decision. She has got to go for | :30:32. | :30:40. | |
broke. I think that just one Michaela Breeze the bronze medal. It | :30:41. | :30:45. | |
also make sure that Zoe Smith is going to be champion of the | :30:46. | :30:50. | |
Commonwealth. With one lift to spare. Meena Kumari, what has she | :30:51. | :31:02. | |
got to do here? X kilos takes her to 200, but the bronze medal is at 202. | :31:03. | :31:11. | |
She might as well throw caution to the wind... That is exactly what she | :31:12. | :31:26. | |
is going to do. Great coaching choice. She is going to go to 120. | :31:27. | :31:34. | |
She is going to put nine kilos on. Because she is heavier than Michaela | :31:35. | :31:38. | |
Breeze, she will try, Meena Kumari, with her last attempt to knock | :31:39. | :31:42. | |
Michaela Breeze of the podium. Zoe Smith, nothing to lose. Never say | :31:43. | :31:54. | |
never, but I am sure she has got the championship will stop here she | :31:55. | :31:57. | |
comes and this is for five out of six. She is on a total of 207. Clean | :31:58. | :32:08. | |
at 30 seconds. This audio icing on the cake... What a great way to | :32:09. | :32:20. | |
finish the day. Three kilos more. Amazing. That take her to 210 kilos | :32:21. | :32:33. | |
total. An eight K improvement. As far as the clean and jerk is | :32:34. | :32:35. | |
concerned, it is a new record by three kilos. Zoe Smith comes off the | :32:36. | :32:43. | |
platform straight into the arms of Michaela. I love seeing athletes in | :32:44. | :32:50. | |
respect of each other like that. " you each other and congratulating. | :32:51. | :32:56. | |
We're not quite over. This is the last line on the last page, in a | :32:57. | :32:59. | |
last chapter in the 58 kilos. last line on the last page, in a | :33:00. | :33:10. | |
are Welsh and if you are in anywhere in Wales, this is the time to get on | :33:11. | :33:16. | |
your air Max. Meena Kumari has put the bar up to 110. -- prayer mat. | :33:17. | :33:28. | |
She had no chance of a medal she just wanted to take that record from | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
Zoe Smith. Zoe Smith is champion of the Commonwealth. Winnifred is the | :33:34. | :33:36. | |
overall silver medallist. the Commonwealth. Winnifred is the | :33:37. | :33:44. | |
comeback girl, at the age of 35, is Michaela Breeze of Wales. Zoe Smith | :33:45. | :33:51. | |
at 16, she took a bronze medal in Delhi. At 20, she is the champion. | :33:52. | :34:06. | |
The winner of the bronze medal, representing Wales, Michaela Breeze. | :34:07. | :34:49. | |
The winner of the silver medal, representing Nigeria Dede Winnifred. | :34:50. | :35:35. | |
The moment Zoe Smith has streamed up. It is Zoe Smith, 20 years of | :35:36. | :35:51. | |
age. 92 kilos in the snatch. 118 K record in the Commonwealth. The | :35:52. | :35:58. | |
fifth V8 kilo champion of the Commonwealth, Zoe Smith for England. | :35:59. | :36:04. | |
-- 58 kilo champion. This, and moment she will never, | :36:05. | :36:27. | |
ever forget. In a moment, the auditorium will rise for the | :36:28. | :36:28. | |
national anthem of England. # Walk upon England's | :36:29. | :36:40. | |
mountains green # On England's pleasant | :36:41. | :36:44. | |
pastures seen? # Bring me my spear, | :36:45. | :36:49. | |
O clouds, unfold # Nor shall my sword sleep | :36:50. | :37:20. | |
in my hand # In England's green | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
and pleasant land. # Huge congratulations to Zoe Smith | :37:26. | :38:01. | |
and to think since Delhi she was badly injured, lost her funding and | :38:02. | :38:08. | |
almost gave up. It is a huge boost, not only to her cabinet with her | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
medals in it, but her confidence. We are going back to the boxing. The | :38:12. | :38:20. | |
60 kilograms bout has the highly rated Mauritius, John Kalina and he | :38:21. | :38:25. | |
will be taking on Nicholas Congo from Congo. | :38:26. | :38:48. | |
Mexican wave here. Has been a terrific atmosphere also Shillong. | :38:49. | :39:00. | |
But the boxers in the ring focused on the man in front of them. | :39:01. | :39:24. | |
He is struggling a little bit. Mainly because he is too far out. He | :39:25. | :39:33. | |
keeps falling short. If you watch the way he is boxing. That is | :39:34. | :39:41. | |
batter. When he launches the attack from too far out, he falls short | :39:42. | :39:51. | |
with the right. Has got to move into range. Target the right hand over | :39:52. | :39:58. | |
the top. There you go. Midway through this second round. He is | :39:59. | :40:25. | |
finding a home for the right hand now. Colleen has got things wrong, | :40:26. | :40:44. | |
just held his feet. His feet are not moving at all. He is static. Against | :40:45. | :40:48. | |
the man who just keeps coming forward. Good left hand on the | :40:49. | :41:09. | |
inside once again. Nice right hand. Inside the final 20 seconds. | :41:10. | :41:24. | |
Approaching the conclusion of this second round. | :41:25. | :41:36. | |
Was a close round to score. I think the man in blue has just done enough | :41:37. | :41:46. | |
to win that round. Both of them going for it. But the Kenyan, his | :41:47. | :41:53. | |
feet are static and his guard is not backward. It is a good left hook and | :41:54. | :42:05. | |
right-hand counter. Let's look at the scores. Just a rotten tactic | :42:06. | :42:29. | |
there by Colin. Stands to trade. It is all square in this contest | :42:30. | :42:54. | |
between John Carlin of Mauritius. Good left-hand from Okongo Okoth. | :42:55. | :43:03. | |
John Coleen falling short with his work. Leaping left hook fell short | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
from Okongo Okoth. Again John Coleen holding his feet | :43:09. | :43:23. | |
and getting caught up. That is a bit better, was not too far away there. | :43:24. | :43:29. | |
Okongo Okoth again gets through with the right hand. Just the wrong | :43:30. | :43:33. | |
tactic by John Coleen, making it very difficult for himself, not | :43:34. | :43:41. | |
maximising the Ricci has got. -- the reach he has got. | :43:42. | :43:56. | |
Our lack of movement has really brought Okongo Okoth into this | :43:57. | :44:01. | |
contest, he has taken full advantage. Continually aggressive | :44:02. | :44:06. | |
and that right hand has been a profitable shop for him. There it is | :44:07. | :44:23. | |
again -- profitable shot. He is leaning forward when he is throwing | :44:24. | :44:29. | |
his shots and Okongo Okoth keeps coming with the right hand. Shorter | :44:30. | :44:35. | |
man that he is having success. Another good one there. Shops being | :44:36. | :44:46. | |
taken flush by John Coleen. -- shots. | :44:47. | :44:59. | |
He is waiting for John Coleen to commit. John Coleen struggling to | :45:00. | :45:10. | |
close the distance effectively. He's now back punching range once again. | :45:11. | :45:16. | |
Good right uppercut from Okongo Okoth. This is close, this is close. | :45:17. | :45:27. | |
Good left hook from John Coleen. Both boxers competing right up until | :45:28. | :45:33. | |
the final bell. That is nice because they have tested one another to the | :45:34. | :45:36. | |
limit during the course of that contest. John Coleen took the | :45:37. | :45:44. | |
opening round, Okongo Okoth took the second, who has taken | :45:45. | :45:45. | |
opening round, Okongo Okoth took the will place in the next round? | :45:46. | :45:56. | |
Terrific last round by both boxers, giving their all. Bit scrappy here | :45:57. | :46:04. | |
and there. Really taking risks. Okongo Okoth himself landed some | :46:05. | :46:10. | |
good shots. Congratulating each other at the end of the contest, | :46:11. | :46:12. | |
nice to see. Ladies and gentlemen we go to the | :46:13. | :46:29. | |
judges, all in agreement, the winner by unanimous decision and through to | :46:30. | :46:36. | |
the next round, in the blue corner, representing Kenya, Nicholas Okongo | :46:37. | :46:46. | |
Okoth. Keep the applause going for John Coleen. So Nicholas Okongo | :46:47. | :46:57. | |
Okoth goes through to the second round. He joins five other Kenyans | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
who have made it through to that stage. John Coleen eliminated in the | :47:02. | :47:06. | |
first round. It is a classically trained little | :47:07. | :47:28. | |
number. Seven hills of Rome. Seven pillars of Wisdom. The seven wonders | :47:29. | :47:38. | |
of the ancient world. This seven days of the week. It is a happy | :47:39. | :47:53. | |
number. It can come with a menace or it can be magnificent. It is | :47:54. | :48:04. | |
Renaldo. It is Beckham. It is a try plus conversion. Seven minutes each | :48:05. | :48:14. | |
way. Seven players making sweet music knocking seven bells out of | :48:15. | :48:21. | |
each other in order for 17 to be in seventh heaven. In the numbers game | :48:22. | :48:28. | |
it is time to roll-out the sevens. We mentioned earlier that Skeet | :48:29. | :48:43. | |
shooting was the quick relation to clay shooting and in that case rugby | :48:44. | :48:47. | |
sevens must be the fast and furious brother of the 15 aside game. It is | :48:48. | :48:52. | |
appropriate that it is one of the sports here at the Commonwealth | :48:53. | :48:55. | |
Games, because this is the birthplace of the sport. | :48:56. | :49:03. | |
Rugby is a hard game, not for the faint-hearted. In the Commonwealth | :49:04. | :49:10. | |
Games it is made even harder with just seven players on the pitch. | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
Rugby sevens is a truly international sport played all over | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
the world. But it all began here in Melrose, a sleepy market town in the | :49:20. | :49:26. | |
Scottish Borders. Rugby players are traditionally at a fee believed. So | :49:27. | :49:29. | |
the genesis of the sevens game is particularly appropriate. -- a PC | :49:30. | :49:41. | |
parade. I believe there is a connection between this picture is a | :49:42. | :49:44. | |
connection between this pictures and sevens rugby? In 1883 two men who | :49:45. | :49:51. | |
worked in the shop and played rugby down at Melrose decided to organise | :49:52. | :49:54. | |
a rugby tournament shortened the game to seven minutes the half and | :49:55. | :50:00. | |
with seven players so they could fit it all in one day. From its humble | :50:01. | :50:06. | |
birth in the Scottish Borders the game 's popularity grew with fans | :50:07. | :50:12. | |
and players. This fascinating game of seven aside rugby is becoming | :50:13. | :50:18. | |
very popular. By the 1970s sevens was played internationally. Fans and | :50:19. | :50:22. | |
players could not get enough of this game. Teams come from all over the | :50:23. | :50:33. | |
world to play at Melrose. Coming from as far afield as the USA and | :50:34. | :50:40. | |
Trinidad and Tobago. What is it about sevens that you love so much? | :50:41. | :50:50. | |
The speed and the flair, everything. Over the 22, page two Hastings, | :50:51. | :50:58. | |
magnificent support work. Everywhere you go everyone loves the sevens, | :50:59. | :51:06. | |
the fitness of the players at the upper levels is to be admired. I | :51:07. | :51:10. | |
think it is a box office sport going forward. Rugby sevens popularity is | :51:11. | :51:20. | |
continuing to grow globally. It will be played at the 2016 Olympics by | :51:21. | :51:28. | |
men and women, not bad for the sport invented by two butchers in the | :51:29. | :51:35. | |
Borders. When it comes to rugby sevens New Zealand have never | :51:36. | :51:41. | |
dropped a gold, they have never even dropped and match. But it does not | :51:42. | :51:46. | |
deter the opposition and the England boys are hoping to steel the glory. | :51:47. | :51:59. | |
You get found out in sevens if you have not prepared physically. It is | :52:00. | :52:07. | |
a quicker game, quicker scoring. Players lighter because we cover | :52:08. | :52:11. | |
more ground. A lot of change of direction. The type of competition | :52:12. | :52:23. | |
is very different. We play back-to-back tournaments which is | :52:24. | :52:27. | |
incredibly demanding mentally. You have to be able to switch off | :52:28. | :52:30. | |
between games and then get back up for the next game. Six games over a | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
weekend is physically and mentally demanding. All the skills are put | :52:36. | :52:42. | |
under the microscope, it is a really easy game to understand with only | :52:43. | :52:45. | |
seven people on the pitch. When I first took my wife she did not know | :52:46. | :52:49. | |
much about rugby first took my wife she did not know | :52:50. | :52:53. | |
and understood what was going on so hopefully a lot of people will enjoy | :52:54. | :52:58. | |
the weekend. That is a great take but stumble from James Rodwell. I | :52:59. | :53:05. | |
look back at Delhi and we came forth which is probably the worst place to | :53:06. | :53:15. | |
finish. A lot of the guys out there it was our first experience of a | :53:16. | :53:18. | |
multisport event. We have been working hard to get to Glasgow and | :53:19. | :53:24. | |
have got a great group here. We have been training for it pretty hard. | :53:25. | :53:27. | |
There is a lot of belief within the squad, we are confident in our | :53:28. | :53:33. | |
ability, the season is finished and we can look back at what has worked | :53:34. | :53:41. | |
and what hasn't. A lot of us now have got quite a lot of experience. | :53:42. | :53:50. | |
That experience can count for a lot. We have been together for two or | :53:51. | :54:01. | |
three years. Integrated pretty well. I think it is a big part of being | :54:02. | :54:05. | |
able to trust the person either side of you. The goal is to always win | :54:06. | :54:13. | |
every game, the goal is to win the Commonwealth Games. That is what we | :54:14. | :54:18. | |
are working towards and I think if we have all our players on form and | :54:19. | :54:24. | |
fit and everyone performing to their full potential then we have got | :54:25. | :54:27. | |
every chance of winning this competition. Incredibly tough with | :54:28. | :54:34. | |
New Zealand's who have won it every single time, South Africa bringing | :54:35. | :54:39. | |
some superstars and Scotland bringing someone do a full | :54:40. | :54:43. | |
internationals and playing at home. And not to mention Australia of | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
course. Incredibly tough but I am confident if we get everyone playing | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
to the full potential we have a chance of picking up gold. | :54:53. | :54:59. | |
You can see behind me the weather has changed, it has not been dry at | :55:00. | :55:08. | |
Ibrox but we have got a band of hardy men down there, John | :55:09. | :55:11. | |
Inverdale, Andy Nicol and Jonathan Davies. You have come prepared | :55:12. | :55:19. | |
Inverdale, Andy Nicol and Jonathan the change of weather which is more | :55:20. | :55:25. | |
than we can say here. We had a fantastic session this morning with | :55:26. | :55:28. | |
the sun beating down and a wonderful atmosphere. It ended with some | :55:29. | :55:34. | |
controversy, a fantastic match with Scotland being beaten by New | :55:35. | :55:36. | |
Zealand, New Zealand had Scotland being beaten by New | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
in the sin bin and everyone thought that meant that Scotland had a great | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
chance of winning and a lot of people, not least Gavin Hastings | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
felt that one of the New Zealand players who had been sent off was | :55:50. | :55:51. | |
felt that one of the New Zealand allowed back on the field 20 seconds | :55:52. | :55:59. | |
too soon. Scotland did not protest it but they have issued a statement | :56:00. | :56:03. | |
saying people make mistakes, but it might have had a bearing on the | :56:04. | :56:08. | |
game? Lahm it might have done, but I like how the coach has drawn a line | :56:09. | :56:12. | |
under it and moved on. The problem was they did not win the kick-off | :56:13. | :56:16. | |
and gave away a penalty and that is more their own doing. It is a big | :56:17. | :56:24. | |
mistake, 20 seconds is a long time, Scotland had a ball in the line-out, | :56:25. | :56:29. | |
it could have been a crucial 20 seconds. It was a fantastic | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
opportunity for Scotland to win the match and inflict a first ever | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
defeat in New Zealand. That would have taken the pressure of Scotland | :56:38. | :56:42. | |
going into the Canada game. The first match is going to be Scotland | :56:43. | :56:46. | |
against Barbados, Scotland against Canada looks like being the decisive | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
match for second place in the script. This game is about going | :56:51. | :56:58. | |
through the systems and structures. Scotland did not have the ball in | :56:59. | :57:01. | |
the first half against New Zealand and played really well in the second | :57:02. | :57:04. | |
half, they will be looking to build on that to build into the game | :57:05. | :57:12. | |
against Canada. I felt like New Zealand played as a team and | :57:13. | :57:17. | |
Scotland played as individuals. I think they have got to speed up the | :57:18. | :57:22. | |
game. They were slowing down, kicking into touch, we did not | :57:23. | :57:27. | |
understand the tactics. Scotland need to play with pace because they | :57:28. | :57:30. | |
have got a lot of very fast players in the side. A lot of you watching | :57:31. | :57:36. | |
will not be students of the sevens game, these guys are on the | :57:37. | :57:40. | |
international circuit week after week for certain periods of the year | :57:41. | :57:45. | |
but there will be unfamiliar names, except for perhaps Stewart Hogg | :57:46. | :57:50. | |
playing for Scotland, how much of a talisman is he? He has been brought | :57:51. | :57:56. | |
in without much, even though he is from height, he has not played a lot | :57:57. | :58:01. | |
of sevens but we saw in the first game he has got the spark. | :58:02. | :58:18. | |
We have got some fantastic matches tonight, England against Australia. | :58:19. | :58:27. | |
But we are starting here with Scotland against Barbados. | :58:28. | :58:51. | |
Taken by Vernon. He had a quiet game against New Zealand. Lee Jones. Two | :58:52. | :59:05. | |
tries from the man born in Selkirk and played the Selkirk. Two tries | :59:06. | :59:11. | |
against New Zealand. Richie Vernon on the far outside. Sean Ward back | :59:12. | :59:19. | |
with the tackle. Recycle possession from Scott Riddell. Has young Mark | :59:20. | :59:27. | |
Bennett, makes a lovely stab. Mark Bennett is under the post for | :59:28. | :59:33. | |
Scotland. 45 seconds on the clock and that is the kind of start he did | :59:34. | :59:36. | |
not get against New Zealand. The ideal start taken. Distribution of | :59:37. | :59:43. | |
the players is very good. We see good coverage across the field. It | :59:44. | :59:53. | |
is those individual clashes, way too much power and speed for this | :59:54. | :59:58. | |
Barbados side to live with. A well taken try by Mark Bennett. Mark | :59:59. | :00:03. | |
Bennett was on Scotland's recent tour. Test matches played across the | :00:04. | :00:14. | |
globe. He was very impressive on his performances. 21-year-old. Advantage | :00:15. | :00:34. | |
being played by the referee. Quick tap and go. Richard Vernon down the | :00:35. | :00:48. | |
middle. Disappointing penalty for the Scottish side, who were in a | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
very good attacking side entry position. Sean English released the | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
ball. Challenged by Lee Jones on the far side. Barbados recycling the | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
possession well. If that ball had been taken, recycled. Scotland are | :01:12. | :01:27. | |
pressing up in defence. Scotland, in white shirts are trying to put | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
pressure on this Barbados team. Barbados break through the middle. | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
Colin Gregor is back with the tackle. He has made it. Excellent | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
ball retention. Sean English, the 26-year-old. Played in | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
Northumberland. The advantage has been played, I think. Scott Wight | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
was offside. Excellent passage of lay-by Barbados. Excellent ball | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
retention. -- passage of play. Big tackle came in. Colin Gregor picks | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
up. Roddy Grant. Takes it up to the halfway line. Needs to off-load the | :02:25. | :02:36. | |
ball here. Contact is absolutely crucial in terms of ball retention. | :02:37. | :02:46. | |
Scott Riddell is down for Scotland. Just coming back into the action. | :02:47. | :02:57. | |
The interception was there. Canada put 68 points and it is the clock | :02:58. | :03:08. | |
going down quickly and it is only 70 macro. We have had a couple of | :03:09. | :03:22. | |
sweeping showers. Chants for Scotland to go here from the free | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
kick. Mark Bennett. Lee Jones. Lee Jones gets tackled on the far side. | :03:32. | :03:47. | |
Vernon to grant. That tackle comes in from Nicholas Jackman for | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
Barbados. Can Scotland make it? Lee Jones? Lee Jones, scores another | :03:55. | :04:06. | |
try. He goes to the top of the best performer is with ten tries in all | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
competitions in the Commonwealth Games. Width about the play again. | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
Was enough to bring the defence out of line. Lee Jones goes in for the | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
try. 12/0 up with the conversion to come. They have got to have a lot of | :04:26. | :04:35. | |
more urgency about them. I think that is what the coach is calling | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
for. Good control by Jones with the ball on the floor, great awareness. | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
Lee Jones, the 25-year-old scored seven tries in Delhi. This is three | :04:51. | :05:07. | |
in his home tournament. Referee saying Lou number three touched it. | :05:08. | :05:20. | |
In an offside position. -- blue number three. Good play. Jones with | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
another double. Young Mark Bennett created the opportunity for the | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
second try for Lee Jones. Strong, powerful play from Mark Bennett. | :05:33. | :05:41. | |
Forget the handoff, it is the work and ability to create the quick | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
ball. That makes the difference for the incoming players. Pretty good | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
comeback after a disappointing middle patch during the first half. | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
Half time score, three converted tries for Scotland. | :06:03. | :06:21. | |
They are trying to score every time they get the ball. They have to use | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
the whole width of the field otherwise the defenders will be hard | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
to break down. If you are tackled, you have got to get support in | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
quicker. But you have to play with which and use all of the space | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
available. You saw the third try from Lee Jones. Soak the defence in. | :06:44. | :06:58. | |
Recycle all. If you play with power, the wider of the gaps, you have a | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
one on one situation and enhances the ball carrier's chances of | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
beating the player. The minnows, if we can call Barbados that, with | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
every match they will get tired? Yes they will. They are trying their | :07:21. | :07:31. | |
heart out. They have had some exciting chances. But the Scotland | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
in the second half, they will want to do as much as they can without | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
exerting too much energy. Use the bench. But there will always be some | :07:38. | :07:38. | |
its matches in this competition. When we get through to the | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
qualifying stages, it will be serious. It is about getting your | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
game in good order and going through to the important matches. 21 to the | :07:48. | :07:59. | |
good, Scotland at half-time. Scotland well on their way to | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
winning and then they play Canada. That it will no doubt be for the | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
qualification. While we might be making the point about the amount of | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
points Scotland need to score in this type, we would have to get our | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
calculators out for that one. Let's just enjoy the action and what | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
Scotland can do in the second half. Can Barbados respond? Scott Wight. | :08:25. | :08:34. | |
Used to play his club be for Melrose. He captains Glasgow | :08:35. | :08:45. | |
Warriors in 2007. He has lifted the cup in Melrose. Both for his club | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
team and his professional club team, the Glasgow Warriors. Great | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
awareness by Sean Lamont. Very powerful. Took it on quickly. Simple | :08:56. | :09:09. | |
drawing pass. Nice finish and nice con version. For converted tries for | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
Scotland. The scoreline merging along. Colin Gregor is Scotland's | :09:16. | :09:29. | |
all-time points scorer. Lots of respect for the skipper. | :09:30. | :09:44. | |
Stuart Hogg knocks the ball on. He was sent off in the Six Nations in | :09:45. | :09:55. | |
the match against Wales. This is his is debuting the Commonwealth Games. | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
He has played in a few tournaments for Scotland. James Eddie is on in | :10:01. | :10:15. | |
the front row. Colin Gregor tries to spoil the possession for Barbados. | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
The ball was played on the deck. The tap and go from Sean Lamont. | :10:25. | :10:46. | |
Number one the James Eddie, the strong flanker. Poor entry from | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
Philip Lucas. If Barbados keep... Conceding penalties like that, maybe | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
the referee will think about a yellow card? Colin Gregor taps and | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
goes. Little switch plate, wraparound move for Sean Lamont. | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
Simple tried. Simple but well constructed. All about timing. These | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
are rehearsed all the time. Two players switch to | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
are rehearsed all the time. Two the left and the big man goes over | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
unopposed. Too easy for Sean Lamont. Sean Lamont is Scotland's second | :11:32. | :11:40. | |
most capped player for Scotland. Returns to the team and having | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
played in the USA and Canada fifteens. Ms on 88 caps. Dummy run | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
are running through on the front line. The ball released to the front | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
player, which is Sean Lamont. Michael Phillips penalised for | :11:55. | :12:11. | |
collapsing the rock. Colin Gregor asking that the Barbados team retire | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
to their ten metres. Again, another switch play. Well tackled on this | :12:19. | :12:29. | |
occasion by Niko Blunt. James Eddie. Scott White, to Colin Gregor. | :12:30. | :12:39. | |
James Johnstone bumps the legs. Johnson shows the ball and James | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
Johnson runs low. He skips in behind the post. A great try by James | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
Johnstone. He has a low centre of gravity and his little legs go | :12:53. | :13:02. | |
thumping away. Running in and finishing off the play, great work | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
off the ball by the Scottish team on this occasion, the ability to | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
reload, set the depth and width of the attacking line. Really was about | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
taking on the one on one again, just too strong and fast. Six tries for | :13:19. | :13:28. | |
the Scotland team. Still two minutes to go. No corn from Barbados. -- | :13:29. | :13:41. | |
knock-on. Much better second half display from the Scottish side, been | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
really impressed with the energy levels, I thought they were a bit | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
flat in the first half, really starting to look like they can | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
impose themselves on a team which is still trying new must say, but is | :13:55. | :13:55. | |
very much up against it. We had such great sunny conditions | :13:56. | :14:23. | |
here this morning and it really set the tournament alight. Stewart Hogg | :14:24. | :14:34. | |
skips and under the posts. That is the class of this player, an | :14:35. | :14:44. | |
international fifteens star. Using the sevens circuit to refind his | :14:45. | :14:45. | |
form and there it is. Very talented footballer. It has | :14:46. | :15:02. | |
been very comprehensive and from Scotland, it has been clinical. | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
Awareness, handoff, strength, speed, he has it all. Scotland with | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
one opportunity to score a final try. Love the urgency there to get | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
the scrum set so they can get one last play. This is what it is all | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
about, I think the coach will be delighted with this, they have gone | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
out and take on the second half by the scruff of the neck. You are too | :15:35. | :15:45. | |
low from the start. Crouch. Bind. Sect. Colin Gregor feeds the scrum. | :15:46. | :16:01. | |
This is James Johnson. Scott Wight hits the angle, up over the have we | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
line go Scotland. Side entry coming in from the wrong angle, Barbados | :16:10. | :16:20. | |
penalise. This is James Eddie. Has the support of Scott Wight. This is | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
Colin Shaw, one of Aust experienced members of the Scotland team, he | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
scores with his first touch of the ball. -- one of the most | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
experienced. This man was born in Glasgow, played for the Glasgow | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
Hawks. Does very well in this situation here. Good discipline here | :16:46. | :16:54. | |
from the Scottish side. That was a critical performance, well deserved | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
victory and a well taken victory, really put Barbados to the sword. A | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
lot of local support for the most experienced player, one of the most | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
experienced players in the Scotland team. A clinical performance. | :17:11. | :17:23. | |
An emphatic victory for Scotland as you can see from the scoreline as | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
the rain continues to fall, the second half markedly improved. | :17:31. | :17:31. | |
the rain continues to fall, the think they will be happy, | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
the rain continues to fall, the tries, tested at times defensively. | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
the rain continues to fall, the The squad is getting left from the | :17:46. | :17:46. | |
which is amazing. -- getting lift. The tackled player gets up quicker | :17:47. | :18:01. | |
so he has an advantage that is why The tackled player gets up quicker | :18:02. | :18:16. | |
your clear road has to be quick -- your clear out. How much are you | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
enjoying playing at Ibrox? It is brilliant, the atmosphere is | :18:27. | :18:27. | |
incredible. brilliant, the atmosphere is | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
home crowd like that is really special. What are your reflections | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
on the match against New Zealand? Frustrating, we gave them too much | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
of a lead, 17 points against the best team in the world is too hard | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
to come back from. But we ran best team in the world is too hard | :18:48. | :18:57. | |
close. The Canada game will be the decisive one, anything to tweak? I | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
think we showed we were clinical with our basic skills, carried that | :19:05. | :19:13. | |
on and we should do well. England next against Uganda. When we saw | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
Uganda play earlier you observed that of all the second-tier nations | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
they seem to have the most about them in terms of skills and | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
potential. Yes, there is no way they will beat England, but they seemed | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
that bit more drilled, they understood it, they coped with that. | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
The Gulf is often the physicality, these England boys will blow them | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
away, but Uganda were able to hold their own wee bit in the first game. | :19:48. | :19:56. | |
These are kept amps for the tier one nations to get themselves ready -- | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
these are hit outs. England are win away from booking | :20:00. | :20:38. | |
their place in the quarterfinals. They have to go again. A little bit | :20:39. | :20:47. | |
too keen. I think they were buoyed on by the crowd, got a fabulous | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
reception in the first game, but they will need a lot to help them | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
here. So impressive in their opening match | :20:57. | :21:19. | |
and here they are five hours later, one more effectively and they will | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
be into the knockout stages. Very powerful run from Charlie Hater | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
driving up towards halfway. Taken on by Dan Bibby, the fly half. Tom | :21:29. | :21:40. | |
Powell there as well. Going to have to play with six players because | :21:41. | :21:53. | |
they have a man down on halfway. The England assistant sitting alongside | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
the main man, Simon a more. Twinkling toes. He knows what his | :21:57. | :22:26. | |
ability can do, he has the speed and the power to take him through it, | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
very well taken try. That really was a flash of flawless | :22:29. | :22:43. | |
and Wayne Green books, it was a lying green blah. | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
Very athletic, very strong footballer but very balanced in his | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
running as well. You can see why they made the short list to be | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
Player of the Season last season. They are very good kick chase side, | :23:01. | :23:11. | |
one the strengths. The big issue for him back home is | :23:12. | :23:42. | |
the quality of the playing surfaces, they are developing it in schools | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
but it is difficult to do when surfaces are so poor. All teams | :23:46. | :23:58. | |
giving it a real justice here today. It has been cracking stuff. So far | :23:59. | :24:09. | |
Uganda have been fooled offensive mode -- infill defensive mode -- in | :24:10. | :24:19. | |
full. This is Dan Bibby. Rodwell over the | :24:20. | :24:41. | |
top looking for it. England can go quickly. Does not score because | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
there was a penalty not going the requisite ten metres. Brings it back | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
for the advantage. Another chance for a set play, they will take it | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
back and extra couple of metres. See what they have got up their sleeve | :25:09. | :25:17. | |
this time. The chosen option was James Rodwell. It is about movement | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
off the ball again. Mitchell 's awareness, runners of the ball | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
catching the eyes of the defender and when you have got Rodwell coming | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
through, six foot five coming through he is not going to be | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
stopped from that range. What do you make of the way that Tom Mitchell | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
does that, we saw him doing it a lot against Sri Lanka, instead of being | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
sideways, it is a really unusual position. It is the ideal position | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
for attacking. You have the ability to play both ways. He takes the | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
speed out of it and tries to bring him out of the defensive line. If | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
you are not disciplined it is going to happen. Quality piece of play, | :26:12. | :26:27. | |
quality footballer. England leading with tries from Tom Mitchell and | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
James Rodwell. They will want to get at least one | :26:30. | :26:59. | |
score before half-time here England to really confirm their dominance in | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
the first half. It is all about execution from the coaching staff I | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
am sure, and the players are like. Here is a man who does not need much | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
of a gap to go through. That was pace and that was agility, how on | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
earth did she do that? Almost as if we are in the gymnastics hall. I am | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
not certain he got the ball down. They want to have a look at the | :27:31. | :27:51. | |
referee reviewing system. It was the intelligence of the player. He knew | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
he was going into touch, slowed himself down. Got back up to his | :27:57. | :28:03. | |
feet, no problem there. Great referee and because he called it | :28:04. | :28:10. | |
right. His legs were up in the air. Sliding in there. No try. Superb | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
refereeing. Benefit of the reviewing Sliding in there. No try. Superb | :28:16. | :28:28. | |
system. Can only you be used to see it a try has been scored. It is a | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
good thing because we don't need these long delays. Two pieces of | :28:34. | :28:43. | |
excellence. Very nearly from Dan Norton. Absolutely from the referee. | :28:44. | :28:51. | |
He was spot on. The man with just two tries in the bank, as we bear | :28:52. | :28:53. | |
down on half-time. Just missed two tries in the bank, as we bear | :28:54. | :29:02. | |
on a medal in Delhi, were beaten to the bronze medal by South Africa. | :29:03. | :29:09. | |
Should they win this, and see how the other results pan out, they will | :29:10. | :29:17. | |
play in the quarterfinals tomorrow, either Samoa or Wales. Last chance | :29:18. | :29:25. | |
for a try before half-time. Taken by Tom Mitchell. Well taken try. Just | :29:26. | :29:39. | |
look at the role of the referee in blocking the defender. Opened up a | :29:40. | :29:46. | |
gap and Tom Mitchell saw it. He ran into the referee's zone. It was a | :29:47. | :29:55. | |
great spots, and it would have been a big decision for the referee to | :29:56. | :30:02. | |
disallow two England tries. I agree. England will be happy with their | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
lead at half-time. But just in case you think that seven aside rub is | :30:09. | :30:15. | |
freefall and off-the-cuff and not regimented, if we look at the first | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
England tried. It is almost like a doubles match in turn is where | :30:21. | :30:26. | |
signals are being given. Everybody knows what moves. Tom Mitchell is | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
telling everybody what is happening. It is a very systemised born? What | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
ever that signalmen 's, they will have split the pitch into three | :30:37. | :30:42. | |
thirds asked to come -- as to whether it was going long or hide. | :30:43. | :30:48. | |
In this rugby, you kick off once you score, so you want to get the ball | :30:49. | :30:54. | |
back as soon as possible. Usually do kick goes to James Rodwell. He | :30:55. | :31:02. | |
usually takes the restart. But the main player is Tom Mitchell. He | :31:03. | :31:06. | |
slows the pace down, and it is a bit like Rod really because he is | :31:07. | :31:13. | |
holding and has a couple of runners coming off him. They are trying to | :31:14. | :31:19. | |
work out in their heads, to get ready for the big game against | :31:20. | :31:22. | |
Australia. This is what this is all about and get their systems up and | :31:23. | :31:31. | |
running. Uganda did score a try against Australia earlier, can they | :31:32. | :31:32. | |
break their duck against England? Rodwell was there very quickly. But | :31:33. | :32:01. | |
Uganda come away with Wokorach. They have a national 15 aside team | :32:02. | :32:07. | |
playing in the Africa cup. Suffered narrow defeats to Senegal and the | :32:08. | :32:15. | |
Ivory Coast. It is still an amateur game and they are covering their own | :32:16. | :32:21. | |
expenses here in Glasgow. The money they should have received to go into | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
their bank accounts, did not turn up. So they are having to pay their | :32:26. | :32:31. | |
own way in Glasgow this weekend. But they are more than holding their | :32:32. | :32:36. | |
own. England are having to think very hard to break them down. That | :32:37. | :32:43. | |
was taken on quickly by Charlie Hater. Good work. Bibby on the try | :32:44. | :32:52. | |
from Rodwell. Initial thrust down the middle. Then the scope and the | :32:53. | :33:03. | |
vision to see what was happening. It was a finish and the outside, like | :33:04. | :33:10. | |
the change of play. Dan Bibby did extremely well. James Rodwell did | :33:11. | :33:18. | |
not move away from his own and new word the play was moving back to. | :33:19. | :33:23. | |
England are very well disciplined. You have to be impressed. First game | :33:24. | :33:30. | |
out, I was very impressed. Beautiful conversion from the sideline from | :33:31. | :33:39. | |
Christian Lewis-Pratt. We talk all the time about seven being a game of | :33:40. | :33:47. | |
space. The key for playmakers like Christian Lewis-Pratt and Tom | :33:48. | :33:52. | |
Mitchell, you have got to pick the moment to use it and profit from it? | :33:53. | :33:58. | |
It is so right. How you run into the space, running across crossfield to | :33:59. | :34:02. | |
get into the space and if the players take up the width early, it | :34:03. | :34:09. | |
is about straight running. It allows them options across the park. Bibby. | :34:10. | :34:38. | |
He was a good player, Simon Amour. Did you play with him? No, I show my | :34:39. | :34:56. | |
age here. I had retired, moved on. What can Uganda offer vesture Mark | :34:57. | :35:10. | |
Pariyo was chasing his own kick but Debbie scoops it up. This is Debbie, | :35:11. | :35:22. | |
one man to beat. That was a very good piece of defensive work from | :35:23. | :35:30. | |
Wokorach. As a result, Uganda on the attack with Wokorach. In its own | :35:31. | :35:38. | |
little way it was almost their best moments so far. It was, and the | :35:39. | :35:45. | |
crowd are appreciating it as well. I am sure they appreciate the display | :35:46. | :35:52. | |
from the English side, but I am sure they would love to see Uganda | :35:53. | :36:00. | |
running for a five pointer at some point. You have got to work on both | :36:01. | :36:05. | |
sides of the ball in this game. England working hard to get back and | :36:06. | :36:25. | |
force the error again. Ramathan heading towards the scrum. James | :36:26. | :36:32. | |
Rodwell has done his work, as have James Norton. They will be saving | :36:33. | :36:36. | |
their lungs for the big one against Australia. Marcus Watson has come | :36:37. | :36:52. | |
on. This is Mike Ellery. Big man with big hair. Forced his way into | :36:53. | :37:01. | |
Uganda's 22. As a result, he wins the penalty. He is saying good | :37:02. | :37:07. | |
writer sevens this weekend becomes a 15 aside player on Monday and | :37:08. | :37:20. | |
joining Saracens. England setting up their set play and getting the | :37:21. | :37:24. | |
players in the right area. Release pass out of the back. Great feeds. | :37:25. | :37:33. | |
Little bit of juggling. Managed to find his way out. I want to have a | :37:34. | :37:41. | |
look at the replay. He slid in and found the try line. I am pretty sure | :37:42. | :37:54. | |
his foot was in touch. Having a lot but touch. | :37:55. | :37:58. | |
his foot was in touch. Having a lot The referee video review again. | :37:59. | :38:10. | |
Watch his left leg. He is out of the swimming pool. Pretty sure he was in | :38:11. | :38:28. | |
touch. Only half of his arm in the field of play! It was outstanding | :38:29. | :38:32. | |
play in the build-up again by England. Only four years ago England | :38:33. | :38:34. | |
were beating Uganda 55-0. So some improvement by the Africans. The | :38:35. | :38:37. | |
reason the line-out could not be taken as because they are waiting | :38:38. | :38:43. | |
for a substitute. The third Commonwealth Games for the Africans | :38:44. | :38:46. | |
and a repeat of the pool they had in Delhi four years ago. They beat Sri | :38:47. | :38:56. | |
and a repeat of the pool they had in Lanka. Spelling around dangerously | :38:57. | :39:04. | |
there. Christian Lewis-Pratt back inside his own territory, but not | :39:05. | :39:08. | |
for long. Quickly threatening inside Ugandan territory. The tackle was | :39:09. | :39:29. | |
very important from Ssebuliba. The Ugandans are scrapping for | :39:30. | :39:44. | |
everything. Ellery has scored. Final weekend and one of his final tries | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
in rub Rhys Evans. Lots of hard work. Watson did the initial work | :39:49. | :39:58. | |
and presented the ball very nicely. Ugandans defence was stretched. Slow | :39:59. | :40:07. | |
walk back to the way to prepare all the restart. Ellery showed a lot of | :40:08. | :40:11. | |
power in the earlier play. Was an easy run in for the big man. Final | :40:12. | :40:24. | |
half a minute of what has been another satisfying England | :40:25. | :40:27. | |
performance. I am sure Simon a more will find things to work on. It is | :40:28. | :40:35. | |
part of your job, Simon, part of the coach's job? You will be looking at | :40:36. | :40:39. | |
what you can do in coach's job? You will be looking at | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
Difficult to just find chewing things. There will be a couple of | :40:44. | :40:50. | |
Difficult to just find chewing issues, big things is obviously the | :40:51. | :40:51. | |
mental thing. That will be some link issues, big things is obviously the | :40:52. | :41:04. | |
his players. -- something. They have three hours between this match | :41:05. | :41:07. | |
his players. -- something. They have the start of the game with Australia | :41:08. | :41:14. | |
to put their feet up, relaxing and perhaps amass large here and there. | :41:15. | :41:15. | |
They have done all they perhaps amass large here and there. | :41:16. | :41:18. | |
the opening two matches. see later with a try from John | :41:19. | :41:24. | |
break, one of the survivors from four years ago. He was a fitness | :41:25. | :41:32. | |
doubt before the Commonwealth Games. He scores England's latest tried. | :41:33. | :41:37. | |
Very well finished. I felt the past wasn't needed. But at this point in | :41:38. | :41:43. | |
the game, he has the power to take it through the straight line. | :41:44. | :41:46. | |
Another very good victory for England. They have got their big | :41:47. | :41:53. | |
game to come against Australia, but they are into the quarterfinals | :41:54. | :42:03. | |
already. Two games played, two wins. Good point Nick Mullins made about | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
the pitch, it is in great condition. 100,000 tickets sold for the road be | :42:09. | :42:16. | |
today. It is fantastic? It is amazing. Ibrox is hosting well and | :42:17. | :42:19. | |
the crowd is getting into it. This is a different audience to the rugby | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
crowd you will get at Murrayfield. It is such a spot to pulp. | :42:25. | :42:30. | |
Conclusive victory for England and Wales are on the field, what do you | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
think about Wales against Papa New Guinea? Should be a bit tougher. | :42:35. | :42:39. | |
Their big game is some hour. Very impressed with England, the | :42:40. | :42:44. | |
defensive line speed was very good and their kick chase was good. The | :42:45. | :42:52. | |
intensity, will raise as they go into the latter stage of the | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
tournament. But this is for Wales is to get their structures and partners | :42:57. | :42:59. | |
right. Williams is there playing for Wales. Couple of youngsters. It is a | :43:00. | :43:05. | |
game Wales should win comfortably as well. With the third match of the | :43:06. | :43:11. | |
evening, it is Wales against Papa New Guinea. COMMENTATOR: Quickly | :43:12. | :43:25. | |
taken by Williams. Into Davis. There is space on the left-hand side. The | :43:26. | :43:37. | |
referee quite happy with that. Good step up through the middle. Tackle | :43:38. | :43:47. | |
by Lee Williams. Maybe diminutive in stature but certainly the heart of a | :43:48. | :43:56. | |
Lion. I am joined on commentary by Scott Hastings. I game that Wales | :43:57. | :44:11. | |
will be looking to win? Yes. But Papa New Guinea started to find | :44:12. | :44:21. | |
their feet in the last match. Williams looking down the blindside. | :44:22. | :44:28. | |
Morgan is over for the first try of the game. The blindside to reap the | :44:29. | :44:36. | |
rewards for Williams in the first game and the scrum-half carrying on | :44:37. | :44:42. | |
where he left off. He controls the ball so well, it was just good | :44:43. | :44:52. | |
footwork here by Luke Morgan. Not to be disrespectful to some of the | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
teams but we have seen a lot of tries scored down the blindside | :44:57. | :44:59. | |
because the defensive effort has not been good enough. That was like one | :45:00. | :45:07. | |
of my golf shots. That is not one of his normal kicks, but Wales are on | :45:08. | :45:14. | |
the board. Scored a try against Malaysia and has now doubled his | :45:15. | :45:17. | |
total with one against Papua New Guinea. Nothing that Peter could do | :45:18. | :45:31. | |
about that. The Keck not going the requisite ten metres so Papa New | :45:32. | :45:33. | |
Guinea have an opportunity to take the free kick on the halfway line. | :45:34. | :45:35. | |
-- they kept. Wales just happy to press up. Lovely | :45:36. | :45:59. | |
little step from Peter. Huge ball in the middle. Williams. Into midfield. | :46:00. | :46:17. | |
Just patients from Wales. Little basketball hands. It is Thomas, the | :46:18. | :46:21. | |
captain who off-loads to Davis. Morgan again. Cover tackle comes | :46:22. | :46:33. | |
across. Does well to ride it, goes over for his second try. Great hands | :46:34. | :46:40. | |
on the far side, Luke Morgan had a lot of work to do, despite the | :46:41. | :46:50. | |
attentions, I love the way Wales where patient on the ball. Working | :46:51. | :47:03. | |
the overlap. Davis then, from wide out. Just shading the outside of the | :47:04. | :47:14. | |
right-hand upright. Wales with two tries from that man Luke Morgan. | :47:15. | :47:21. | |
Good pass and you felt at that stage that the try saving tackle might be | :47:22. | :47:23. | |
made, but unable to do so. The Welsh line standing fairly | :47:24. | :48:02. | |
firm. No corn from Papa New Guinea. -- knock-on. I like to call that the | :48:03. | :48:12. | |
press defence, because it is about working with each other, every time | :48:13. | :48:19. | |
Uganda have got the ball Wales have been right up in the faeces and | :48:20. | :48:25. | |
forced the mistake. -- right up in the faces. Morgan does exceptionally | :48:26. | :48:38. | |
well to take that. Had a good pick-up from Gareth Davies off his | :48:39. | :48:46. | |
toes. Williams dancing around. Ball out through the back to Morgan and | :48:47. | :48:49. | |
it is going to be one of the quickest tricks you will see. -- | :48:50. | :49:04. | |
quickest hat tricks. The playmaker from Wales unleashed a Luke Morgan, | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
that was superb play by Lee Williams, the 27-year-old | :49:10. | :49:16. | |
scrum-half. Williams is a very experienced campaigner. One of the | :49:17. | :49:21. | |
only survivors from the 2009 World Cup victory by Wales. Wales opening | :49:22. | :49:34. | |
up a 17 point lead. This is the last game of the group for Papua New | :49:35. | :49:42. | |
Guinea. Lost to Samoa and beat Malaysia. Another high, hanging | :49:43. | :49:52. | |
Guinea. Lost to Samoa and beat kick. That man Williams in the box | :49:53. | :49:59. | |
seat. The Gareth Davies. Little step. Looks to straighten up. The | :50:00. | :50:12. | |
route to his namesake James Davis. Spell of the ball as the hooter | :50:13. | :50:15. | |
goes. This will Spell of the ball as the hooter | :50:16. | :50:22. | |
the game. Of the first half. Wales pretty pleased with that. You could | :50:23. | :50:26. | |
say the games first half? Feeds through the legs this time. | :50:27. | :50:41. | |
Little inside ball. Williams stands firm, takes the tackle. | :50:42. | :50:50. | |
Press and again from Wales. Wild ball out. Plenty of effort from Papa | :50:51. | :51:06. | |
New Guinea but ball out. Plenty of effort from Papa | :51:07. | :51:13. | |
forward. There is an opportunity here, can he go all the way? | :51:14. | :51:18. | |
Williams is chasing him and makes the tackle. The ball is still in | :51:19. | :51:24. | |
play. Over the line now, the referee calls time on the first half and | :51:25. | :51:31. | |
Wales go into the break 17 points to the good. | :51:32. | :51:39. | |
Big takes an alley to that first half, Wales 17 points up and | :51:40. | :51:43. | |
comfortable? -- ager Matic they are in front, and cruising. | :51:44. | :52:03. | |
Your favourite song is on the tannoy. | :52:04. | :52:32. | |
I am not sure if it is a hit in Papa New Guinea. Are you saying Neil | :52:33. | :52:43. | |
Diamond does not have global appeal? Wales in this game here, very front | :52:44. | :52:49. | |
conditions to the earlier game they are having to adapt. We don't know | :52:50. | :52:55. | |
what the weather is going to be light for the rest of this evening | :52:56. | :53:01. | |
so I don't think it is disappointing. They will try to | :53:02. | :53:08. | |
avoid the physicality in the Samoa Mac game. Something I meant to say | :53:09. | :53:19. | |
during the England and Uganda game is that some guys in that game came | :53:20. | :53:27. | |
to this country eight years ago with a charity which brings disadvantaged | :53:28. | :53:33. | |
children to overhear and play rugby, and here they wear eight years later | :53:34. | :53:39. | |
playing at Ibrox in front of 30,000 people for the national sevens | :53:40. | :53:45. | |
team, a fantastic moment for them. When Neil Diamond has had enough we | :53:46. | :53:50. | |
will have the second half. Here we go. COMMENTATOR: Thomas, the | :53:51. | :54:06. | |
captain. Lovely inside ball. Play on says the referee. An opportunity for | :54:07. | :54:10. | |
Peter. Off-loads. Where is your money Scott? I am | :54:11. | :54:36. | |
going to see it again. This is what the referee wants to see. Looking a | :54:37. | :54:47. | |
little short. It is tight isn't it? He can reach out and try and place | :54:48. | :54:54. | |
it, but the referee... That is it, short. No try, knock-on. The crowd | :54:55. | :55:07. | |
not happy with that but I think it is the correct decision. Yes, it is. | :55:08. | :55:19. | |
But still a great effort. Lovely attack from Papa New Guinea. | :55:20. | :55:21. | |
Splitting the Welsh defence. Williams chooses the boot this | :55:22. | :55:45. | |
time. Williams up chasing his own tech, | :55:46. | :55:56. | |
forcing the tackle. Williams up chasing his own tech, -- | :55:57. | :56:01. | |
kick. Lovely off-loads. Really proving to | :56:02. | :56:19. | |
be a pawn in the Welsh defence. I good steel from Wales. | :56:20. | :57:51. | |
packed evening session at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Tonight we are | :57:52. | :57:54. | |
in the pool and on the pitch for swimming and the rugby sevens, | :57:55. | :57:58. | |
which, if you didn't know, originated 70 miles away from here | :57:59. | :58:02. | |
in Melrose. So a strong Scottish theme again tonight. The referee | :58:03. | :58:12. | |
Colin for time. Several players making changes. Wayne Proctor in the | :58:13. | :58:17. | |
foreground. The former winger for Wales. And the try scorer takes a | :58:18. | :58:28. | |
well-deserved break. Luke Morgan, he has also gone off. He scored a | :58:29. | :58:35. | |
hat-trick in the first half. The try scorers for Wales are off the pitch. | :58:36. | :58:41. |
