Well, that's most of the sport. Time now for international rugby union.

:00:00.:00:00.

Let's go to Inside Six Nations. Hello and welcome, live,

:00:00.:00:41.

to Broadwood Stadium where we're preparing to look ahead to the third

:00:42.:00:44.

weekend of Six Nations fixtures. We are just north of Glasgow and

:00:45.:00:55.

what will be a crucial weekend for the six Nations. We are starting

:00:56.:01:00.

with Scotland against Wales. If you are wondering why we are here

:01:01.:01:09.

tonight it is because the woman's Scotland team are playing well. --

:01:10.:01:16.

playing Wales. The under 20s are playing later on as well. Joining me

:01:17.:01:21.

to preview the lavatory championships is Scotland all time

:01:22.:01:25.

record points scorer Chris Paterson. Chris, what is from me too, what

:01:26.:01:32.

think? Outstanding. Some cracking rugby. A great fixture in Cardiff.

:01:33.:01:38.

Wales played well. England know how to win and they came through and

:01:39.:01:42.

one. Ireland had a great victory. A physical battle in Paris. Scotland

:01:43.:01:51.

picked up a couple of injuries. I suppose the big talking point coming

:01:52.:01:54.

out of the Scotland camp is the fact that Greig Laidlaw has picked up the

:01:55.:02:00.

ankle injury. How big a loss as that? He is a massive loss for his

:02:01.:02:07.

leadership and understanding. He directed him well. He gets goals in

:02:08.:02:16.

85-90% as well. Ali Price is a sharp player that is replacing. That's a

:02:17.:02:23.

brief look at Scotland and what happened with the injury with Greig

:02:24.:02:28.

Laidlaw. Let's look at what happened in week two.

:02:29.:02:40.

COMMENTATOR: Can Wales Turner pressure into points? Yes, they can!

:02:41.:02:50.

He's got! It has been an outstanding game of rugby. Eddie Jones' team

:02:51.:02:59.

remain unbeaten. Italy are just a little pressure. I hat-trick for

:03:00.:03:08.

that player and Irish cream. -- a hat-trick for that player in Irish

:03:09.:03:12.

cream. Ireland have run away because Enron. The final weekend of the six

:03:13.:03:20.

Nations. He has done it again? Brilliant clear on the pitch. Victor

:03:21.:03:27.

before France. -- victory for France. Scotland and Wales are the

:03:28.:03:38.

big match that we looking at this weekend. Tell us what it means to be

:03:39.:03:44.

part of this game? It means everything. There will be a huge

:03:45.:03:47.

amount of support coming from Wales as well. Liam Williams at five Green

:03:48.:04:00.

line breaks. He has the best attacking stats in the championship

:04:01.:04:07.

silver. So bring it a threat. -- in the championship so far. It's

:04:08.:04:14.

difficult as a Scots person to deal with the physicality but I believe

:04:15.:04:18.

that Scotland have the understanding and the ability to do that. Gloves

:04:19.:04:23.

in the last match had so much field position but they couldn't get the

:04:24.:04:27.

ball across the line. -- Wales in the last match. They are a

:04:28.:04:31.

pressurised team and they know how to win and Wales were on top for 75

:04:32.:04:41.

minutes. They didn't get the territory, Scotland in the second

:04:42.:04:45.

half. The weather will be an important factor tomorrow. It will

:04:46.:04:50.

lend itself to another cracking encounter and an exciting weekend. I

:04:51.:04:56.

tell you, we have plenty more to talk about but plenty to look at

:04:57.:04:58.

this weekend because there are reporters across the camps. Where

:04:59.:05:04.

better to start than David Curry in the Scotland camp?

:05:05.:05:11.

Scotland's head coach Vern Cotter has made five changes from the

:05:12.:05:18.

starting 15 from the defeat by France for the challenge of Wales.

:05:19.:05:22.

The because of injury. Greig Laidlaw, captain, is out. He has

:05:23.:05:29.

been replaced by Ali Price on the wing. In the forwards, Ryan Wilson

:05:30.:05:34.

comes in for Josh Strauss. With Captain Laidler out, John Barclay at

:05:35.:05:42.

six assumes captaincy duties. My family is very proud. It is a huge

:05:43.:05:56.

honour for me. Vern alluded to it. There is a group of guys that are

:05:57.:06:04.

working hard. They make my job as captain easier. He added the Wales

:06:05.:06:13.

camper, there has just been one change to the side. Alex Cuthbert

:06:14.:06:18.

has been replaced on the wing. Wales arrived in Edinburgh having a --

:06:19.:06:27.

having enjoyed a decade of wins against Scots. But it is now said

:06:28.:06:34.

that they must expect the unexpected. It's a different

:06:35.:06:37.

Scottish team than what we have seen before. We are focused on the squad

:06:38.:06:42.

that we have right now and what really to do. You are only good as

:06:43.:06:47.

your next one on your last one. We will focus on that. -- your next one

:06:48.:06:56.

or is your last one. The big talking point at the Ireland team hotel in

:06:57.:07:00.

tentacled is whether coach Joe Smith will pick Jonathan or Paddy Jackson.

:07:01.:07:10.

Schmidt has gone with the experience of the 31-year-old Sexton for the

:07:11.:07:15.

visit of France on Saturday evening. Fitness is never an issue for Johnny

:07:16.:07:20.

Sexton. It's just making sure that he is fully fit and he certainly is.

:07:21.:07:26.

He trained well today as well as Tuesday. As expected, he is highly

:07:27.:07:30.

motivated to get into the game on Saturday.

:07:31.:07:37.

Straight after the narrow win against Wales, Eddie Jones said that

:07:38.:07:44.

he saw the game against Italy as a chance to try out some new

:07:45.:07:48.

combinations. He has been true to his word with Ben Te'o. Elsewhere,

:07:49.:08:00.

Danny Care starts at nine to inject pace. Jonny May is on the wing.

:08:01.:08:06.

Eddie Jones says that he doesn't just want to beat Italy on Sunday,

:08:07.:08:11.

they were to dig the cleaners. We always said that he would experiment

:08:12.:08:15.

during this game. We do that every game. Every selection of the

:08:16.:08:22.

experimentation. -- every selection is experimentation. You look at the

:08:23.:08:27.

players and emotional and physical well-being, you look at the

:08:28.:08:30.

opposition and to try to improve the site every game. -- and you try to

:08:31.:08:40.

approve the site every game. Let's just look at the tables.

:08:41.:08:45.

Let's have a look at the table then as it stands with England on top

:08:46.:08:49.

without having collected a bonus point.

:08:50.:08:50.

Logjam with one point separating Ireland, Wales,

:08:51.:08:52.

Scotland and France with Italy yet to register a point.

:08:53.:08:54.

Nine tries for Ireland, a bonus point try coming before

:08:55.:08:57.

Eddie Jones has made some changes. Ben Te'o Mac. He scored a great try

:08:58.:09:02.

against France. He was hitting the ball really hard. He will bring a

:09:03.:09:07.

direct approach. It is a great balance between the other players. I

:09:08.:09:11.

think that England will look to play a bit more open and expansive. I

:09:12.:09:16.

think that they can play better. They picked up a bonus point in the

:09:17.:09:25.

last team, Ireland, which England couldn't do. Sexton is a huge

:09:26.:09:32.

player. Buddy Jackson has played well in the opening two Mac games

:09:33.:09:37.

but Sexton is a class act. We will see both players doing well. Lots of

:09:38.:09:45.

noise in the background because Scotland are trying to get

:09:46.:09:50.

themselves back into the contest. Talking about the woman, the woman's

:09:51.:09:57.

World Cup is back in September. The woman's team England has gone

:09:58.:10:00.

professional visit. Has that made a big difference? Are they happy?

:10:01.:10:05.

We have been finding out. It's been a slow start with the first-half

:10:06.:10:14.

against France. We came out of the second half really strong and there

:10:15.:10:18.

was a fantastic performance. It felt like everything clicked in the Wales

:10:19.:10:22.

game. We came so close last year to the grandstand. It was France. This

:10:23.:10:30.

year, when you were that scrolling down at Twickenham, you were

:10:31.:10:35.

thinking, here we go again. A lot of people have asked if he got a

:10:36.:10:39.

massive telling off. It was really process driving. -- it was really

:10:40.:10:46.

process driven. We just got on with it. It might be a similar situation

:10:47.:10:55.

at the end again, where it comes down to a deciding game against

:10:56.:11:00.

Ireland. Well, we have to get their first! I think that Scotland are in

:11:01.:11:03.

the form of their life. It will Btough games. We would like to look

:11:04.:11:10.

forward to the end but rewards not yet. For a lot of your career, you

:11:11.:11:16.

haven't been professional. What is the difference now? We are probably

:11:17.:11:19.

two of the older players in the squad. Yet, it's just a massive

:11:20.:11:28.

opportunity for us. I will speak on your behalf but we are both

:11:29.:11:32.

massively privileged to have this opportunity. It's been amazing stuff

:11:33.:11:39.

to juggle workers on site training. -- work alongside straining. To be

:11:40.:11:43.

able to get the rest in. We want to be derived and tell hopefully the

:11:44.:11:47.

World Cup in August. Winning the World Cup was the biggest experience

:11:48.:11:51.

of my life. It would be great to do the double and that is what I'm

:11:52.:11:56.

aiming for. It is very hard to retain the World Cup. New Zealand

:11:57.:12:00.

have done it in the past. And were massive game is to -- aromatic aim

:12:01.:12:08.

is to keep it on English soil. The woman's highlights will be on BBC

:12:09.:12:16.

Two. The men Six Nations is across platforms. We are going to have to

:12:17.:12:22.

leave it there. We are now running out of time but Wales are still

:12:23.:12:29.

leading seven points to nil in this Six Nations match. They haven't won

:12:30.:12:35.

a game in seven years. I will thank you for your time. Scotland last

:12:36.:12:44.

beat Wales in 2007. They won 29-9. This man here kicked all nine

:12:45.:12:48.

penalties in that victory. Can it happen tomorrow? Who knows. By Fred.

:12:49.:12:54.

Bike for now. COMMENTATOR: Chris Paterson

:12:55.:13:13.

continues to knock over penalties. Again, Chris Paterson is looking at

:13:14.:13:18.

the kicking tee and the points are calling the board. It has been the

:13:19.:13:25.

partition Shoal of the good so far. The perfect seven from Chris

:13:26.:13:28.

Paterson. A simply impeccable kicking it display.

:13:29.:13:36.

Well, some of us today had a nice day. There was some sunshine after a

:13:37.:13:44.

stormy day yesterday. The clouds are falling back in and this weekend is

:13:45.:13:50.

downhill. More rain is on the way and some strong

:13:51.:13:51.
