-International rugby hero

-Mike Phillips...

0:00:020:00:05

-..could be about to face

-his greatest-ever challenge.

0:00:060:00:09

-He may have won 99 caps

-and scored ten tries for Wales.

0:00:100:00:15

-He may have won three grand slams

-and been on two Lions' tours.

0:00:150:00:20

-But nothing compares

-to this challenge.

0:00:200:00:23

-Mike is mentoring

-a team of unique rugby players.

0:00:240:00:27

-The Senghenydd Sirens.

0:00:280:00:30

-After a resounding win

-against rivals Abergele...

0:00:300:00:34

-..the Sirens now top

-the WRU Women's Division Two.

0:00:350:00:38

-But getting to the top is one thing,

-staying there is another.

0:00:380:00:42

-The SWALEC Cup games

-are coming up.

0:00:430:00:45

-Can Mike lead this passionate team

-to the title?

0:00:470:00:53

-It's the Senghenydd Sirens'

-time to shine.

0:00:530:00:56

-After a fine win over Abergele,

-Mike has organized a team treat.

0:01:010:01:05

-A luxury spa afternoon.

0:01:050:01:08

-They've never been

-in such a pool before.

0:01:080:01:11

-It's full of icy water

-to revive tired muscles.

0:01:110:01:17

-It's clearly extremely cold.

0:01:170:01:20

-Here's something to warm them up.

0:01:200:01:23

-Cold water hastens recovery,

-so it's really important.

0:01:330:01:37

-When I played for Wales...!

0:01:370:01:40

-After every game, we had an ice bath

-and it wasn't nice at all.

0:01:410:01:45

-But your body goes through a lot,

-so places like this are important...

0:01:460:01:50

-..before the next game,

-the next training.

0:01:510:01:54

-Enough Sam Warburton,

-more Mike Phillips - sauna!

0:01:540:01:57

-We should do more on recovery.

0:02:010:02:05

-At the moment, it's a shower

-and a pint, to be honest.

0:02:050:02:08

-I'm glad we did this today,

-ending with some fun in the pool.

0:02:150:02:19

-Going through a couple of moves.

0:02:190:02:22

-But the next game is coming up,

-and we have to prepare.

0:02:220:02:26

-After the recovery today,

-we can now go into the next game...

0:02:280:02:33

-..and hopefully win,

-and do this all again next week!

0:02:330:02:37

-Maybe so, Ann-Marie,

-but there's work to do first.

0:02:390:02:42

-Last week's training sessions..

0:02:430:02:45

-..with Lloyd Williams and Cerys Hale

-were a great success.

0:02:460:02:50

-This week's guest coach is Wales

-women's coach Rowland Phillips.

0:02:500:02:55

-The team is doing well

-and beat Abergele last week.

0:02:570:03:00

-It was great that the moves

-we worked on were successful.

0:03:010:03:04

-They won

-every line-out, every scrum.

0:03:040:03:07

-Team spirit is really good.

0:03:100:03:12

-Top of the table.

0:03:120:03:14

-Top of the table.

-

-Yes!

0:03:140:03:15

-It's important to stay there now.

0:03:150:03:17

-After tonight,

-I'm sure they'll lose every game!

0:03:180:03:21

-No, I hope to help them.

0:03:210:03:23

-They've told me

-where they need to improve.

0:03:230:03:26

-I'm excited to have Rowland here.

0:03:260:03:28

-He coaches Wales.

0:03:290:03:31

-Defence-wise,

-we'll look at spacings.

0:03:320:03:35

-How many go into tackles,

-what they do afterwards.

0:03:360:03:39

-A few things to tidy up.

0:03:390:03:41

-If I can help, great.

0:03:410:03:43

-Chwith is left, so if I say chwith,

-left shoulder to the ground.

0:03:430:03:49

-Chwith!

0:03:490:03:50

-Your other chwith!

0:03:510:03:53

-Rowland will give them a kick

-to make them a bit tougher.

0:03:560:04:01

-Press-ups to warm the shoulders.

0:04:010:04:04

-Pull the arms away

-and you do it to me.

0:04:040:04:07

-Pull my arms, come on.

0:04:070:04:09

-I'm the angry Phillips.

0:04:180:04:21

-Mike likes his fun, but I'm more

-serious, and defence is serious.

0:04:210:04:25

-Proper defence at the ruck is vital.

0:04:250:04:29

-Around the ruck, bounce then this.

0:04:320:04:35

-They get to close to the ruck.

0:04:360:04:37

-No-one should go through the ruck.

0:04:380:04:40

-If you're in here,

-the problems aren't all out there.

0:04:410:04:44

-It's a bit confusing

-because we haven't done this yet.

0:04:450:04:49

-How many threats

-are there on a rugby pitch?

0:04:490:04:53

-One - just this.

0:04:530:04:55

-This is the only thing.

0:04:550:04:56

-This is the most important thing,

-so we defend the ball.

0:04:560:05:00

-But you don't need eight

-or ten players around the ruck.

0:05:040:05:07

-We need to keep the width

-in the defensive line.

0:05:080:05:11

-Keep in a line.

0:05:150:05:16

-Let's go back and we'll attack.

0:05:160:05:18

-They picked it up quickly

-then they were OK.

0:05:200:05:23

-He shows us not to have too many

-committed to the tackle.

0:05:260:05:30

-One tackling the bottom,

-one tackling the top.

0:05:310:05:34

-Get people to talk more.

0:05:350:05:37

-We don't communicate

-as well as we should.

0:05:370:05:40

-That worked well.

0:05:400:05:41

-Women's rugby at this level

-is important.

0:05:420:05:45

-One or two will come through

-to the regions, and maybe Wales.

0:05:460:05:50

-Really good. Well done, everyone.

0:05:510:05:53

-I've learnt a lot

-and I think the girls have too.

0:05:540:05:56

-It's vital to prepare

-for the game with Lampeter.

0:05:570:06:00

-Keep the standard high

-and believe in yourselves.

0:06:010:06:05

-I can see why they're top

-because they listen and have fun.

0:06:070:06:13

-They feel like a team.

0:06:130:06:15

-All the effort in training

-is for today.

0:06:210:06:25

-A trip to Lampeter

-for the next league game.

0:06:260:06:30

-After the win against Abergele...

0:06:300:06:33

-..the Sirens

-must maintain the momentum...

0:06:340:06:37

-..to stay top of Division Two.

0:06:370:06:39

-Mike isn't here because he has

-a game with the Sale Sharks...

0:06:400:06:44

-..but the Sirens

-are in good spirits.

0:06:440:06:47

-The spirit in the camp

-is really good.

0:06:470:06:49

-The bus journey up

-was longer than we thought.

0:06:500:06:53

-It took ages,

-and it was boiling on the bus.

0:06:530:06:57

-We've never played Lampeter,

-so we don't know what they're like.

0:06:580:07:03

-Girls that have played them say

-they're a forwards team...

0:07:040:07:08

-.so, more work for me.

0:07:090:07:10

-They're on home turf,

-with a full squad, and we have 18.

0:07:130:07:16

-We'll see how we step up as a team,

-and we don't have a scrum half.

0:07:170:07:21

-Jess isn't here today, so Lloyd

-has picked me at scrum half.

0:07:210:07:25

-My heart's in my mouth,

-I've never played there before.

0:07:260:07:29

-They beat Abergele 79-0 last week...

0:07:300:07:32

-..so, the pressure is on,

-the pressure is on, big time.

0:07:330:07:37

-We all know that we have to play,

-and play well.

0:07:380:07:42

-The challenge

-is to keep this run going.

0:07:430:07:47

-Keighlee Williams is powerful,

-and it's a physical game.

0:07:470:07:51

-Good play in the centre.

0:07:530:07:55

-That'll please the coaches,

-unlike the pass.

0:07:550:07:59

-Senghenydd are caught napping

-and Lampeter break the defence.

0:08:000:08:06

-They must reorganize the defence,

-and they're on the back foot.

0:08:070:08:12

-Here comes the home side.

0:08:130:08:14

-More pressure, players over,

-and a try for Lampeter.

0:08:160:08:22

-More defensive work for the Sirens.

0:08:290:08:32

-They're within inches,

-but they're not over yet.

0:08:320:08:36

-This is exhausting work.

0:08:380:08:40

-Another try for Lampeter.

0:08:410:08:43

-As half-time approaches,

-the Sirens are finding it tough.

0:08:430:08:49

-It's half-time and we're playing

-absolutely rubbish.

0:08:490:08:53

-We've got to score next,

-but we're still in this.

0:08:530:08:57

-I've got faith in you.

0:08:570:08:59

-It all depends on how much

-you actually want to win.

0:08:590:09:02

-I don't want to come here

-and let them walk all over us.

0:09:030:09:06

-Surely the Sirens

-won't counterattack from here?

0:09:100:09:13

-Great from Stacey Crocker.

0:09:140:09:16

-She splits the defence.

0:09:160:09:17

-Does she have support? Yes.

0:09:170:09:19

-Skym unloads to Hollie Dempsey.

0:09:190:09:25

-She breaks two tackles.

0:09:250:09:27

-A try of the highest quality.

0:09:270:09:30

-Protheroe misses the conversion.

0:09:350:09:37

-More pressure from Senghenydd,

-transformed in the second half.

0:09:390:09:43

-They're patient as well.

0:09:440:09:45

-The forwards do the hard work,

-and the ball comes wide.

0:09:450:09:49

-Protheroe waits for the ball...

0:09:490:09:51

-..but the pass isn't needed

-as Steph Rees gets the try.

0:09:520:09:56

-Another missed conversion.

0:09:560:09:58

-That's a high tackle and a penalty.

0:10:010:10:03

-Lampeter convert once again.

0:10:050:10:09

-The big difference between the teams

-was the home side's kicking prowess.

0:10:090:10:15

-It's a defeat for Senghenydd.

0:10:160:10:18

-They wanted it

-a bit more than us.

0:10:210:10:23

-Remember this feeling.

0:10:230:10:25

-We can't turn up like that

-and expect to win a game.

0:10:250:10:29

-They deserved that,

-so shake their hands.

0:10:290:10:32

-Fair play, they played well,

-but we should have done better.

0:10:320:10:37

-I'm bitterly disappointed

-with the performance.

0:10:390:10:42

-Compared to last week,

-it was a different team out there.

0:10:420:10:46

-So proud.

0:10:460:10:47

-It was a good physical game,

-probably one of our hardest.

0:10:470:10:52

-We have to look ahead

-to the next game now.

0:10:520:10:55

-We'll work on it this week.

0:10:560:10:57

-We have to forget today,

-and we can't play like that again.

0:10:580:11:03

-Defeat is clearly a blow

-to the Sirens' confidence.

0:11:050:11:09

-Their grip on top spot

-has slipped.

0:11:090:11:12

-They had no shape, no talking

-about discipline and cool heads.

0:11:120:11:16

-Now, they must roll their sleeves up

-and focus on the SWALEC Cup games.

0:11:170:11:22

-We learnt a lesson against Lampeter.

0:11:230:11:25

-Our heads need to be screwed on.

-The Senghenydd Sirens and mentor,

-ex-Wales scrum half Mike Phillips...

0:11:340:11:40

-..are aiming for promotion

-to the league's top division.

0:11:400:11:44

-But this week,

-the focus shifts to the SWALEC Cup.

0:11:450:11:48

-The format is the same

-as for the men.

0:11:490:11:52

-A knockout competition

-featuring teams from all divisions.

0:11:520:11:57

-In the first round, they were away

-to Division One side Haverfordwest.

0:11:570:12:02

-But after a three-hour trip

-and a great effort, the Sirens lost.

0:12:030:12:08

-Mike is on duty

-with Sale Sharks...

0:12:110:12:14

-..but is keen to keep up

-with the Sirens' development.

0:12:140:12:18

-Sadly, they're out of the Cup.

0:12:190:12:21

-It was a tough game for them

-against a Division One side.

0:12:210:12:25

-They played well in parts...

0:12:250:12:28

-..but they lack experience

-at that level.

0:12:280:12:31

-They had no shape in attack.

0:12:320:12:34

-They just gave one pass

-and ran into the defenders.

0:12:340:12:38

-I'd like to see them

-throw the ball out to the wings.

0:12:390:12:42

-Looking up,

-playing with their heads up.

0:12:420:12:46

-When I see them next, I'll talk

-about discipline and cool heads.

0:12:460:12:51

-Relaxing when the pressure's on,

-and a bit more concentration.

0:12:510:12:56

-They're out of the Cup,

-but they're still in for the Plate.

0:12:570:13:01

-It's time to work hard and focus

-their efforts on winning the Plate.

0:13:010:13:05

-In the weekend's quarter-finals,

-they play Barry from Division One.

0:13:090:13:14

-It's a big game for Senghenydd,

-especially some team members.

0:13:150:13:19

-We're all working hard

-and training's going well.

0:13:190:13:23

-There are some personal links

-between us and Barry.

0:13:240:13:29

-One of them

-is our captain Keighlee's cousin.

0:13:300:13:35

-A girl who works with me at school

-also plays for Barry.

0:13:350:13:40

-We're good friends

-and we spend a lot of time together.

0:13:400:13:44

-But on the field, she's an opponent.

0:13:450:13:47

-A few remarks are made.

0:13:480:13:50

-We're going to beat you.

0:13:500:13:53

-Watch out now.

0:13:530:13:54

-Our skills are better,

-we've played longer than Senghenydd.

0:13:560:14:00

-It shouldn't be a problem.

0:14:000:14:02

-With so much at stake,

-the Sirens must be at their best.

0:14:030:14:07

-But one aspect of their game

-is consistently weak.

0:14:080:14:11

-As a team,

-we're OK at scoring tries.

0:14:130:14:16

-But we do miss a lot of kicks,

-so we need to work on them.

0:14:160:14:22

-We'll need every point

-against Barry.

0:14:220:14:25

-The kicking problem

-worries the mentor too.

0:14:260:14:29

-The girls need to work on that.

0:14:290:14:32

-I've asked Elinor Snowshill

-to help improve their kicking game.

0:14:320:14:38

-Elinor Snowshill

-is the Welsh women's outside half.

0:14:390:14:44

-She has 44 international caps,

-and has kicked hundreds of points.

0:14:450:14:51

-I've seen Elinor play for Wales

-and she has fine kicking skills.

0:14:510:14:56

-A masterclass from her

-will be brilliant for the girls.

0:14:580:15:02

-Since their main kicker

-got injured...

0:15:020:15:06

-..they've struggled

-with conversions.

0:15:060:15:08

-That can often be the difference

-between winning and losing.

0:15:090:15:13

-Mike's asked me to work with scrum

-half Jess and full back Kaitlin.

0:15:130:15:17

-We'll see what we can do.

0:15:180:15:20

-The first thing

-is keeping your chest high.

0:15:210:15:24

-Nice and proud,

-so you're standing tall.

0:15:240:15:27

-You're not sitting back

-or leaning back on your power.

0:15:270:15:30

-The second one then

-is keeping your eyes on the ball.

0:15:310:15:34

-Don't keep your head down

-because then your chest goes down.

0:15:340:15:38

-Keep your chest up

-but your eyes on the ball.

0:15:380:15:41

-Make sure

-you get the right connection.

0:15:410:15:43

-Good, nice.

0:15:450:15:46

-Kaitlin is a natural kicker.

0:15:460:15:49

-I thought she'd played football.

0:15:490:15:52

-She leant back a lot,

-and so lost power.

0:15:520:15:54

-On this one,

-don't look where the ball goes.

0:15:540:15:57

-You'll know if it's a good kick,

-so keep your eyes down.

0:15:580:16:01

-Exactly the same, but eyes down.

0:16:010:16:03

-Really nice.

0:16:050:16:06

-Look at the length

-you got on that.

0:16:060:16:09

-I learnt to follow the ball through.

0:16:090:16:11

-I feel really confident now

-to take it into Sunday's game.

0:16:120:16:15

-You've got a lot of natural power.

0:16:170:16:19

-Jess has a powerful kick,

-but they all pull to the left.

0:16:190:16:23

-Adjust your run-up slightly.

0:16:230:16:25

-Coming from a bit more of an angle

-should straighten your tee up.

0:16:250:16:30

-You've got a hell of a power on it,

-but your head came up straight away.

0:16:320:16:36

-You wanted to see

-where it was going.

0:16:360:16:39

-She gave me a lot of confidence

-because I knew what I was doing.

0:16:390:16:44

-When I kick, I look up instead

-of keeping my eyes on the ball.

0:16:440:16:49

-When I kept my eyes on the ball,

-it went where I wanted it to go.

0:16:490:16:54

-A lot of this is new to them.

0:16:570:16:58

-You could see a difference,

-even in such a short session.

0:16:590:17:05

-This session was really useful

-before our big game on Sunday.

0:17:060:17:10

-It can often be the difference

-between winning and losing.

0:17:120:17:16

-I hope it makes a difference

-to them on Sunday.

0:17:160:17:20

-We're playing Barry on Sunday.

0:17:200:17:22

-We've got some personal battles.

0:17:220:17:25

-Our captain's cousin plays for them.

0:17:250:17:28

-I used to play

-with one girl years ago.

0:17:280:17:30

-We went through

-the Welsh set-up together.

0:17:300:17:33

-It'll be nice

-to put some big hits in.

0:17:340:17:37

-The day of the big game,

-the SWALEC Cup plate quarter-final.

0:17:450:17:49

-Barry are here early

-and are ready for battle.

0:17:500:17:54

-They're a Division One side,

-which is a big thing, a grudge!

0:17:550:18:01

-My cousin Keighlee Williams is

-playing for the opposite team today.

0:18:010:18:06

-Not only is it teams,

-it's family war as well!

0:18:060:18:10

-She thinks she's going to smash me,

-but I will try my best!

0:18:100:18:14

-Some pupils

-have promised to come to watch...

0:18:140:18:18

-..to support

-either me or Miss Perry!

0:18:180:18:21

-I'm supporting Barry because my

-teacher Miss Perry plays for them.

0:18:220:18:26

-Since Christmas, Barry have come on

-well, winning almost every game.

0:18:270:18:33

-They're quite a big team, so we need

-to get it out to the backs...

0:18:340:18:39

-..and run the tries in

-like we did with Abergele.

0:18:390:18:43

-We came here early, we've trained,

-and we want to go out and win.

0:18:450:18:48

-We learnt a lesson against Lampeter.

0:18:500:18:53

-Heads on, and smash it.

0:18:530:18:55

-Are they up for it today?

0:18:560:18:58

-The answer

-comes from the first kick.

0:18:580:19:01

-Both teams

-want to put their stamp on the game.

0:19:020:19:06

-Barry come storming through.

0:19:070:19:09

-Excellent play,

-and a fine tackle on the far side.

0:19:100:19:13

-It's competitive and physical,

-and Senghenydd are holding on.

0:19:130:19:19

-A good tackle by Kourtney Lewis.

0:19:190:19:22

-Barry come again,

-wave after wave after wave.

0:19:230:19:27

-The try eventually comes.

0:19:290:19:31

-A simple conversion

-takes them to seven.

0:19:320:19:34

-The Sirens are in possession,

-Dempsey picking up her own kick.

0:19:350:19:39

-Good work by the fly half,

-and Dempsey is inches away.

0:19:400:19:44

-The penalty is taken quickly.

0:19:450:19:47

-Good play by Kidley.

0:19:480:19:50

-More quick-thinking, this time

-by captain Keighlee Williams.

0:19:510:19:56

-The Sirens get a deserved try.

0:19:570:19:59

-Protheroe has been working hard

-on her kicking...

0:20:000:20:04

-..and it pays off.

0:20:080:20:09

-Barry's forwards are so powerful.

0:20:110:20:15

-They drive on,

-keeping the ball alive.

0:20:150:20:18

-The try was on the cards.

0:20:180:20:21

-It's untidy, but they are throwing

-the ball out wide.

0:20:250:20:28

-Yates in the middle

-to Kourtney Lewis.

0:20:280:20:32

-She's some talent.

0:20:320:20:34

-At full pace,

-she's thrilling to watch.

0:20:340:20:38

-Kourtney Lewis, only 18 years old.

0:20:380:20:42

-The conversion goes over.

0:20:420:20:44

-Kidley, to Kourtney Lewis,

-who finds Protheroe for the try...

0:20:490:20:54

-..but she can't kick them all.

0:20:540:20:58

-The Sirens use the backs,

-a lovely angle from Protheroe.

0:20:590:21:03

-Remember the name Kourtney Lewis.

0:21:030:21:07

-Kourtney Lewis,

-an exceptional player.

0:21:070:21:10

-An incredible talent.

0:21:100:21:12

-Kourtney Lewis and the Senghenydd

-Sirens are on top of the world.

0:21:120:21:17

-Jess Kidley is fine,

-and the hair is still pink.

0:21:220:21:26

-Kidley is effective,...

0:21:280:21:30

-..and the Sirens' backs

-are playing lovely rugby.

0:21:300:21:34

-Once the ball

-is in Kourtney Lewis' hands...

0:21:350:21:38

-..the Barry defence is tired,

-and she's off again.

0:21:380:21:43

-Another exceptional try.

0:21:440:21:47

-Protheroe converts,

-and she's having fun.

0:21:490:21:52

-Is there a late consolation try

-for Barry?

0:21:550:21:57

-It's been a hard and tiring day

-for them, to put it mildly.

0:21:580:22:01

-That is some consolation.

0:22:020:22:05

-Barry get the try,

-but Senghenydd secure the win.

0:22:050:22:09

-You fronted up in every aspect

-of the game. I'm proud as ****.

0:22:140:22:18

-I'm so happy. It was a tough game

-but really, really good.

0:22:260:22:31

-I kicked three out of five.

0:22:330:22:34

-It wouldn't have happened

-without Friday's training session.

0:22:350:22:40

-They were the better team

-on the day.

0:22:400:22:43

-Your 13 is an amazing player.

0:22:430:22:45

-Our heads went down

-and we couldn't come back.

0:22:460:22:49

-All the girls

-gave 100% from the whistle.

0:22:500:22:53

-They were all amazing,

-an outstanding performance.

0:22:530:22:58

-We're still friends,

-but until we next meet...

0:22:580:23:02

-..I've got bragging rights.

0:23:020:23:04

-A superb win for the Sirens...

0:23:060:23:09

-..and a step closer to the final.

0:23:090:23:12

-But who will they face next?

0:23:120:23:15

-We are a Division Two team,

-so it won't be easy in the semis.

0:23:150:23:20

-But on the verge of the semis,

-the team disappears.

0:23:200:23:25

-Only four backs have turned up.

0:23:250:23:27

-It's not good enough.

0:23:270:23:29

-Mike arranges an emergency session

-before the biggest challenge yet.

0:23:290:23:34

-Their heads weren't right,

-the skills were poor.

0:23:350:23:38

-They didn't work as a team.
