:01:01. > :01:06.Hello, welcome to round two of the Rugby World Cup warm-up season.
:01:06. > :01:09.Week one belonged to England, but only just. New international career
:01:09. > :01:19.has got off to the best possible start for some, but for others,
:01:19. > :01:53.
:01:53. > :02:01.Lewis Moody limping off. This first try for England in his first game!
:02:01. > :02:11.Morgan Stoddart will miss the World Cup. Shane Williams will score!
:02:11. > :02:13.
:02:13. > :02:18.Wales still have numbers to the Each side gets closer to nailing
:02:18. > :02:28.their World Cup squad. Some players will go to New Zealand, others will
:02:28. > :02:28.
:02:28. > :03:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:03:21. > :03:26.Some big names returning for the game at the Millennium Stadium.
:03:26. > :03:29.Jeremy Guscott is alongside May. All week, Warren Gatland and Martin
:03:29. > :03:34.Johnson have been defending the World Cup warm-up matches.
:03:34. > :03:40.If we did not play a game, we might as well not go, because we have to
:03:40. > :03:46.be ready. The southern hemisphere teams are coming from four seasons.
:03:46. > :03:51.Nothing prepares you more than playing again. These things happen,
:03:51. > :03:56.people can get injured in training or in the gym. We lost a guy a
:03:56. > :04:00.couple of years ago, falling down the hotel steps. You cannot wrap
:04:00. > :04:04.them in cotton wool. There have been some changes in the squad, we
:04:04. > :04:10.will deal with that. It is an opportunity for us to lay a marker,
:04:10. > :04:15.it is our first away game. Every game is now an away game. I always
:04:15. > :04:23.enjoy playing against England. You always grow up watching these
:04:23. > :04:27.matches. It is no different now. For us to be serious contenders, we
:04:27. > :04:32.need to send out a message that we are good enough to beat England at
:04:32. > :04:40.home, and to that next week as well, to build up some confidence. But
:04:40. > :04:45.also, send a message that we are capable of doing well.
:04:45. > :04:49.Wales have won just one of debt last eight Test matches here.
:04:49. > :04:54.Warren Gatland is right, if Wales are to go into the World Cup as
:04:54. > :04:59.contenders, they have to win today. Yes, I am sure they are thinking
:04:59. > :05:02.that in every single game. He has put pressure on his players, and
:05:02. > :05:07.that is their weakness, they have not been mentally up for these
:05:07. > :05:13.Games, they have not been able to score tries at crucial times. This
:05:13. > :05:17.will be interesting to see how they cope. Four changes for Wales, James
:05:17. > :05:23.Hook and Gavin Henson are back. James Hook should always be playing
:05:23. > :05:29.at No. 10 or in the centre. He is their playmaker, everything happens
:05:29. > :05:33.from him. He is the spot. At full- back, I do not know how much he
:05:33. > :05:37.will touch the ball. This is the last chance for Gavin Henson, he
:05:37. > :05:43.has got to have an impact if he feels that he will challenge for
:05:43. > :05:49.those two spots. Chris Ashton is out, Matt Barrett and comes in, it
:05:49. > :05:54.is a stronger, exciting back line. It is to a certain extent, but
:05:54. > :05:58.there are questions about the centres. Can they be creative and
:05:58. > :06:06.mate in dense into the Welsh defence? In the Six Nations, there
:06:06. > :06:11.was not much ambition. When you have got people outside, they need
:06:11. > :06:16.the ball. The pressure is on Shontayne Hape and Mike Tindall.
:06:16. > :06:21.They are old and experienced. They will be confident in their ability.
:06:21. > :06:26.It will be interesting to see how they go. One of the big things, can
:06:26. > :06:31.be Welsh pack cope with the physicality of the English pack?
:06:31. > :06:37.Courtney Lawes is an awesome athlete. He tackles, he runs with
:06:37. > :06:42.the ball, he is great in the line- out. The Welsh have the advantage,
:06:42. > :06:46.they have had the fewest changes. They will be hoping to start here
:06:46. > :06:51.where they left off at Twickenham, scoring all of the tries. Will the
:06:51. > :07:01.crowd have a role to play? They always do, they are passionate and
:07:01. > :07:09.
:07:09. > :07:13.emotional. Here we go, can Wales last week, and the same here today.
:07:13. > :07:19.Wales will be looking for more home comfort this afternoon. The truth
:07:19. > :07:23.is should, not ideal preparation for the World Cup, but ideal as
:07:23. > :07:29.regards the conditions. As we expected, lots of changes from
:07:29. > :07:32.England, but it is the same from Wales. On paper, England looked
:07:32. > :07:40.stronger, but they finished it the poorer last Saturday, and Wales
:07:40. > :07:44.were stronger, so they will be looking for a month -- more
:07:44. > :07:49.cohesive 20 minutes. Wales could get in front and pull away. Matthew
:07:49. > :07:53.Rees is in danger of missing the World Cup, so Lloyd Burns has his
:07:53. > :07:58.first international start. Luke Charteris is the only other change
:07:58. > :08:01.up front. James Hook comes in for Morgan Stoddart, and Gavin Henson
:08:01. > :08:08.gets the chance to stake his claim to make the World Cup for the first
:08:08. > :08:11.time. Wholesale changes from Martin Johnson. Alex Corbisiero the only
:08:11. > :08:19.survivor in the pack. Courtney Lawes makes his first international
:08:19. > :08:24.appearance of the year. The late injury to Chris Ashton means both
:08:24. > :08:29.windows retain their places. Mike Tindall is back to lead the side.
:08:29. > :08:35.There is no doubt which Bennett looks the stronger. Huw Bennett is
:08:35. > :08:45.the only experienced replacement for Wales. For England, or of the
:08:45. > :08:46.
:08:47. > :08:54.replacements have over 20 caps. Alan Rowland was in charge for the
:08:54. > :09:04.World Cup final between England and South Africa. This time, the men in
:09:04. > :09:12.
:09:12. > :09:18.Black of Wales. -- men in black are Wales, --. A lot of credit must go
:09:18. > :09:25.to the young fly half. He had a younger -- like a good game last
:09:25. > :09:35.week at Twickenham. That is the advantage of having a tall window.
:09:35. > :09:58.
:09:58. > :10:07.would have wanted. A chance to get last week at Twickenham. Any nerves
:10:07. > :10:13.could well have disappeared within 90 seconds. The ideal start for
:10:13. > :10:21.Rhys Priestland and Wales. It is always important to get a good kick
:10:21. > :10:29.in for any kicker. England have got the ball. Anything that Wales can
:10:29. > :10:35.do, England can do. Wales are caught offside, and it is tit-for-
:10:35. > :10:44.tat. England wanted to take it quickly, but Richard Wigglesworth
:10:44. > :10:49.was not allowed to do so. How often do you see this? A side get points
:10:49. > :10:59.on the board, and they contrived to give the advantage away. Nick
:10:59. > :11:03.
:11:03. > :11:11.Easter doing the job there. Wales are caught on the back foot. Toby
:11:11. > :11:21.Flood, a study in concentration. A carbon copy of what Wales did. It
:11:21. > :11:38.
:11:38. > :11:44.for Jamie Roberts, but he did not hold on to it. That would have been
:11:44. > :11:51.an opportunity. It was not meant for him. A good two or three yards
:11:51. > :11:56.infield. As a converted No. 8, it is difficult to learn some of the
:11:56. > :12:03.skills. Throwing is extremely important. A slight weakness,
:12:03. > :12:13.perhaps, as to why he is not necessarily the first choice.
:12:13. > :12:14.
:12:14. > :12:22.good scrummage from Wales. They have got the penalty anyway. Wales
:12:22. > :12:32.getting the shunt one. England not having the experience arch -- scrum
:12:32. > :12:37.
:12:37. > :12:42.panicking England. There were times when the Welsh scrum crept up at
:12:42. > :12:52.Twickenham last week. It all depends on the latitude the referee
:12:52. > :12:53.
:12:53. > :12:57.gives to the front row. When he allows them to drive. Unfortunately,
:12:57. > :13:02.the disparity between the interpretations is so wide, that
:13:02. > :13:12.front rows have to take it game by game. Rhys Priestland reports his
:13:12. > :13:12.
:13:12. > :14:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:14:21. > :14:31.forwards for their effort, and break down, a little bit over eager
:14:31. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:38.on that occasion. He came through the centre of the breakdown and
:14:38. > :14:48.there -- and therefore was not coming from an offside position.
:14:48. > :14:57.
:14:57. > :15:07.His opinion is not the one that Thompson and safely brought down by
:15:07. > :15:17.
:15:17. > :15:27.Courtney Lawes. England are looking forwards, still in possession,
:15:27. > :15:41.
:15:41. > :15:47.Shane Williams just a bad brought him down, Banahan loses possession.
:15:47. > :15:57.-- just about brought him down on it. Did he get to the ground before
:15:57. > :16:07.
:16:07. > :16:17.he lost it? Shane Williams doing possession there, spilling forward
:16:17. > :16:41.
:16:41. > :16:51.desperately try to get that ball back, they put their hands in where
:16:51. > :17:13.
:17:13. > :17:19.they shouldn't. Wales under decisions by some form of score.
:17:19. > :17:29.England are looking for tries this afternoon. Front-rows are up, they
:17:29. > :17:58.
:17:58. > :18:08.hooker himself, Warren Gatland. would have thought it was three
:18:08. > :18:29.
:18:29. > :18:39.Alain Rolland has penalised Wales concede another penalty from here,
:18:39. > :18:49.
:18:49. > :18:59.they would be directing towards a transfer though, they were through
:18:59. > :19:23.
:19:23. > :19:29.90 degrees and will all go back strong. Net again they have got a
:19:29. > :19:39.penalty coming. Surely Alain Rolland's patience is running out?
:19:39. > :20:11.
:20:11. > :20:20.Martin Johnson's is. be appreciating what England are
:20:20. > :20:26.doing to try to drive home his advantage. Out quickly this time,
:20:26. > :20:35.offload happy. And Wales have won the ball and the chance to clear
:20:35. > :20:45.the decks. Suddenly England find themselves back in that only 22 and
:20:45. > :20:47.
:20:47. > :20:51.it is safety-first. That was a certain chance for England. England
:20:51. > :20:59.issued the opportunity to kick the ball three times and came back with
:20:59. > :21:09.no points at all. A good tackle by Gavin Henson there and good
:21:09. > :21:09.
:21:09. > :22:16.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:22:16. > :22:26.functioning. England getting all of scrum advantage, England referred
:22:26. > :22:33.
:22:33. > :22:40.to the boot of Toby Flood to try to back to level terms. It is bad news
:22:40. > :22:43.for Gavin Henson, being led off the field by Professor John Williams.
:22:43. > :22:53.Whether it is temporary or permanent, we will have to wait and
:22:53. > :22:57.
:22:57. > :23:01.tried to drive home their advantage here. They have got the draw is on,
:23:01. > :23:06.they have got the numbers there, they are getting towards the Welsh
:23:06. > :23:10.try-line. That ball should have been to the back and much more
:23:10. > :23:20.controlled, it would have been over the line. They have still got
:23:20. > :23:47.
:23:47. > :23:55.possession, though. Still asking England. Will England players are
:23:55. > :23:59.within a 50 metre radius of that breakdown. Wales applaud each other
:24:00. > :24:09.in defence, but Martin Johnson will be as gained, surely you would
:24:09. > :24:14.expect better in attack? That might be relief for Wales in the free
:24:14. > :24:24.kick. They have been under the cosh and will be glad the decision went
:24:24. > :24:53.
:24:53. > :25:03.Care. Out go as the ball to Toby Flood. Wales are trying to get
:25:03. > :25:11.
:25:11. > :25:20.through fury. Wales have done well there, they have got back in
:25:20. > :25:30.numbers. England now have to contend with this lowball. -- with
:25:30. > :25:58.
:25:58. > :26:08.They were getting isolated because they could not make more of the
:26:08. > :26:24.
:26:24. > :26:29.first attack. England have one more defending for all they are worth.
:26:29. > :26:39.The English forwards arrive. They have not managed to break the Welsh
:26:39. > :26:46.
:26:46. > :26:50.defence so far. Now they are again, they have managed to keep
:26:50. > :26:54.England out time and time again in the first half. The crowd are
:26:54. > :26:58.celebrating and the Welsh players were look at this as a moral
:26:58. > :27:05.victory because England, for all the world, had a try to go on ahead,
:27:05. > :27:09.but they could not complete it. England had all were pressure, all
:27:10. > :27:19.the chances, but it is two penalties apiece. At half-time,
:27:20. > :27:20.
:27:20. > :27:23.Martin Johnson must be wondering how this is 6-6. Have English be in
:27:23. > :27:29.-- have England been guilty of poor finishing or is it a good Welsh
:27:29. > :27:36.defence? I think it is beds. The opportunity for Banahan in the
:27:36. > :27:44.first half squandered. The in six foot seven, he still should have
:27:44. > :27:50.clashed over. If Chris Ashton was here playing this afternoon, he
:27:50. > :27:55.would have been in support. We to alter that how the Welsh pack will
:27:55. > :27:59.come up against the sheer physicality of the English scrum.
:27:59. > :28:04.Wales have been guilty of some poor discipline? They have, they have
:28:04. > :28:08.given away some poor penalties. That is keeping England in
:28:08. > :28:14.possession and eventually bat Welsh defence has to crack. But at the
:28:14. > :28:17.moment they are holding strong. England are predictable, but
:28:17. > :28:24.understanding and predictability, you have to overcome it and Wales
:28:24. > :28:30.are not. It is a slow game, which falls into England's hands. Gavin
:28:30. > :28:34.Henson's big comeback has ended prematurely. I did not think he
:28:34. > :28:40.will go. I think he will, because Wales may lack a bit of quality in
:28:40. > :28:46.the back line, so I still think he will be if injury is not bad enough.
:28:46. > :28:56.6-6 at half-time. There have been 12 draws between Wales and England.
:28:56. > :28:58.
:28:58. > :29:04.How will this one end? We will find Aled Brew on four Rhys Priestland
:29:04. > :29:09.in the Welsh side. They will have to keep their width about them,
:29:09. > :29:12.Mike Tindall getting the early ball again, and a yellow card in needed
:29:12. > :29:16.it. They will be missing Jamie Roberts on the back line as well,
:29:16. > :29:23.and Wales will have big problems to contend with it from the start of
:29:23. > :29:33.the second half. Alan Rowland thought that was sufficiently
:29:33. > :29:37.
:29:37. > :29:44.the tackle. Once he gets to his feet, he is allowed to play that. I
:29:44. > :29:54.think he's quite a lucky there. Certainly unlucky for a yellow card.
:29:54. > :29:57.
:29:57. > :30:07.This should be a straightforward minute in putting England ahead for
:30:07. > :30:08.
:30:08. > :30:14.the first time. With a one-man advantage to come as well. Again,
:30:14. > :30:24.the creaking scrum. England have the opportunity to take on
:30:24. > :30:24.
:30:24. > :31:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:31:31. > :31:41.touch to give them a breather. -- teacake. That had to go well into
:31:41. > :32:07.
:32:07. > :32:14.touch. The referee made the right penalty. That is tremendous defence
:32:14. > :32:20.from Wales. Yes, but that is the third or fourth occasion when the
:32:20. > :32:28.England pack have not been successful, because they do not
:32:28. > :32:33.know how to set up steady and drive the maul properly. The ball has
:32:33. > :32:43.been spun out around the sides. They need to get the ball set a
:32:43. > :32:47.
:32:48. > :32:50.straight, keeping it to the back. Heroic defence from Wales. That is
:32:50. > :33:00.the fourth occasion when England have not been able to do a simple
:33:00. > :33:00.
:33:00. > :33:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:33:40. > :33:48.it is desperate defence from England. James Hook has got there!
:33:48. > :33:56.After one of the pressure and all of the possession, it is Wales that
:33:56. > :33:59.get the first try of the afternoon, and it is James Hook! One of the
:33:59. > :34:08.rare occasions that Wales have had the ball, they have looked more
:34:08. > :34:13.likely to make ground. But they have not had much of the ball at
:34:13. > :34:19.all, but the opportunity that has come has been put away. What a
:34:19. > :34:29.player James will kiss. It does not matter where you play him, he has
:34:29. > :34:35.an effect. That is a lesson for England, the direct ness of the
:34:35. > :34:45.Wales attacking. There is the mismatch. He takes on Dan Cole. He
:34:45. > :34:45.
:34:45. > :36:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:36:01. > :36:08.his own try. -- James Hook. He hangs on to it. Another England
:36:08. > :36:18.attack comes to nothing. They concede another 10 metres. Mike
:36:18. > :36:19.
:36:19. > :36:23.Tindall is about to come back on. If this goes over, it will take
:36:23. > :36:29.England a converted school to get level. England have not looked like
:36:29. > :36:39.getting over the line so far. You would not put a lot of money on
:36:39. > :37:01.
:37:01. > :37:06.superbly. That is a massive kick from James Hook. My wonderful
:37:06. > :37:16.effort. Now, England need a converted try to get back on level
:37:16. > :37:16.
:37:16. > :38:00.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:38:00. > :38:07.gone against Mike Phillips. That could be costly, with less than 10
:38:07. > :38:15.minutes remaining. For the remainder of the game, down to 14
:38:15. > :38:24.men. But Wales Today points the last occasion they were down. --
:38:24. > :38:28.Wales took points. England were not particularly threatening. If there
:38:28. > :38:38.is any DUP, step back and defend. Have confidence in the defence that
:38:38. > :38:56.
:38:56. > :39:06.James Hook to Shane Williams, and he was more than happy to see that
:39:06. > :39:11.one cross the whitewash. Sam Warburton has been very quick on
:39:11. > :39:17.any loose ball. England will be sued -- so disappointed to lose
:39:17. > :39:27.that so easily. It just takes a few more seconds off the clock for
:39:27. > :39:36.
:39:36. > :39:45.They have not succeeded before, and they have not succeeded again,
:39:45. > :39:55.because Nick Easter crashed into the man in front. The fifth English
:39:55. > :40:24.
:40:24. > :40:32.Henson's day. Will it cut short his Charlie Hodgson will be so
:40:32. > :40:40.disappointed. Even if the ball had bounced into touch, bearing in mind
:40:40. > :40:45.the last two kicks like that, what is the point in doing that anyway?
:40:45. > :40:49.England have shown a lack of imagination or a lack of clinical
:40:49. > :40:58.thinking throughout the afternoon. I can understand if the ball had
:40:58. > :41:04.been put high for Armitage to take it, but England did that twice
:41:04. > :41:09.before, and the Welsh have dealt with it and cleared it. That has
:41:09. > :41:19.given Wales another minute of the clock. They do not want to rush
:41:19. > :41:58.
:41:58. > :42:08.the clock down. Wales will hang on James hawks knobs out the attack. -
:42:08. > :42:30.
:42:30. > :42:40.Mitchell has been struggling, so Paul James will come back on. The
:42:40. > :42:51.
:42:51. > :42:56.clock is stopped for this. It is knees, but they have got three of
:42:56. > :43:04.the most important minutes of their careers facing them. If they can
:43:04. > :43:09.get away with a win, it would be such a Suter boost for them. That
:43:09. > :43:19.is another added some -- that is another example of inaccuracy from
:43:19. > :43:30.
:43:30. > :43:37.English forwards. James Hook has not gone for touch, he has gone
:43:37. > :43:47.between Mark Cueto and Ben Foden. The crowd were already cheering the

:45:39. > :45:46.
:45:46. > :45:52.Wales defensively. England will be scratching their heads, but Wales
:45:52. > :45:58.will be cheering all away from the Millennium Stadium to Ellington.
:45:58. > :46:03.It's a home on in there, they did deep, they found tremendous
:46:03. > :46:13.resources. That was a remarkable defensive effort from Wales.

:46:27. > :46:27.
:46:27. > :46:31.chances. The rest of the time, Wales defended so well. They will
:46:31. > :46:34.not want to be defending right that every time in the World Cup,
:46:34. > :46:39.because they will flak occasionally, but today they should be pleased
:46:39. > :46:45.with their effort. If ever a game was won by Stirling defence, that
:46:45. > :46:50.was by Wales. No wind at they are all congratulating each other. They
:46:50. > :46:54.have given every single ounce and with the only try of the game going
:46:54. > :47:00.to James Hook, and a couple of Munster penalties as well, Wales
:47:00. > :47:10.are celebrating. In the return leg, they have finished the stronger
:47:10. > :47:12.
:47:12. > :47:20.once again and beaten the old enemy. Are you happy? I am proud, more
:47:20. > :47:28.than anything. For 73, 74,000 people to turn out to supporters
:47:28. > :47:34.today, I take our hats off to the Welsh public. I want to thank the
:47:34. > :47:38.Welsh public. It was a massive team effort and everyone is over the
:47:38. > :47:44.moon. We have not had a scalp over a big nation like England for a few
:47:44. > :47:47.years. I have never seen a game like it. To be so dominant at half-
:47:48. > :47:52.time and the only level, and then to let things stick as we did in
:47:52. > :47:56.the second half, frustrated is not the word. We got down into their 22
:47:56. > :48:00.quite easily but unfortunately we did not manage to turn it into
:48:00. > :48:04.points and get points on the board, and that is something we need to
:48:04. > :48:09.look. At the same time, credit to the Welsh boys, they defended
:48:09. > :48:13.extremely well on their try-line and turned us over a lot as well.
:48:13. > :48:19.It is a case of scratching our heads. It is frustrating,
:48:19. > :48:25.disappointing. The last five minutes I was near the bench and I
:48:25. > :48:30.could see how much is meant to Wales. Why was that? After losing
:48:30. > :48:34.so narrowly last week, I think the work that we put in in Poland,
:48:34. > :48:38.building up such team spirit in the squad, the boys deserve that for
:48:38. > :48:42.ourselves and for the fans who came down in force.
:48:43. > :48:46.Joy for Wales, frustration for England. Martin Johnson must be
:48:46. > :48:51.described in this game as the one that got away? I think there will
:48:51. > :48:56.be stronger words than that. There were a few opportunities in the
:48:56. > :49:00.first half it did not take, which would be annoying. When you make
:49:00. > :49:06.clean breaks Mike Tindall did, you expect support. They were missing
:49:06. > :49:10.in action. The forwards were good but became anonymous, and they
:49:10. > :49:14.don't expect an England side to do that, especially on the back of a
:49:14. > :49:19.Six Nations Championship. A step backwards, they have to be better
:49:19. > :49:24.against Ireland. Martin Johnson is very frustrated. Is it plan it?
:49:24. > :49:29.Some players might be nervous. They see people get injured, they will
:49:29. > :49:33.not be taking part in the World Cup, but there are places up for grabs.
:49:34. > :49:37.I would expect to see Tindall and Shontayne Hape being cohesive
:49:37. > :49:42.because they have played so much together, but they did not. Toby
:49:42. > :49:47.Flood did not have a massive impact and will be what he will lose his
:49:47. > :49:52.place to Wilkinson. How would you assess Wales' performance?
:49:52. > :50:02.second half was excellent. Christened looks comfortable in the
:50:02. > :50:06.
:50:06. > :50:11.first half. James Hook is Wales' man -- will it Rhys Priestland.
:50:11. > :50:15.Still a lot to think about, but very happy with that win. Warren
:50:15. > :50:19.Gatland extremely delighted with what he described as magnificent
:50:19. > :50:24.defence. It was, and a better side would have finished those
:50:24. > :50:30.opportunities off. I am not taking anything away from Wales' defence.
:50:30. > :50:33.If that was New Zealand, three tries, I'm afraid. Warren Gatland
:50:33. > :50:37.has to look at the Defence that allowed England to make the game
:50:38. > :50:42.line breaks. Mentally, they will be in a good place because they
:50:42. > :50:46.delivered. For the moment, thank you.
:50:46. > :50:49.Argentine up next for Wales next Saturday, and England go to Ireland
:50:49. > :50:54.in a fortnight. Some of the guys have had their
:50:54. > :51:00.final chances, are you closer to knowing your final 30? It doesn't
:51:00. > :51:04.seem like it's now! We know what is going on, you have to look at the
:51:04. > :51:10.detail and go from there, but there were boys on that field to have not
:51:10. > :51:14.played for a few months. You need a couple of games under your belt
:51:14. > :51:18.before you can fire on all cylinders. We will not cut the
:51:18. > :51:23.takes an there are things we can improve on. There will be a lot of
:51:23. > :51:29.changes next week and it will be an experienced side with players like
:51:29. > :51:34.Gethin Jenkins and Adam Jones, Martyn Williams should get a lot
:51:34. > :51:38.fragility. It is a nice position to be in that you can have an
:51:38. > :51:42.experienced side, not an experimental side, to play against
:51:42. > :51:46.Argentina and the pressure will be on them to perform. In the past we
:51:46. > :51:51.have made changes by bringing youngsters in, but this time we
:51:51. > :51:55.will bring experience into the side, give one or two players an
:51:55. > :52:02.opportunity. For those players, there is a hell of a lot to play
:52:02. > :52:08.for. We still need to keep working on our game. We will set about next
:52:08. > :52:11.week building confidence that people do not think on 11th
:52:11. > :52:18.September that it is a surprised Wales team. Argentina is a tough
:52:18. > :52:22.test? There is no easy game at international level. Argentina will
:52:22. > :52:30.be aggressive up front, but said these and they can test the
:52:30. > :52:35.breakdown area. -- good set pieces. Hopefully we can Jubber games
:52:35. > :52:40.together. You started off at full- back and ended up at 10. Where
:52:40. > :52:49.would you like to play in the World Cup? I would like to play and 10,
:52:49. > :52:53.but with be injuries, as long as I am on the pitch and involved I
:52:53. > :52:59.really don't mind. But I do like playing tend. James Hook wants to
:52:59. > :53:07.play 10, he told me. So does everyone! I understand that, and he
:53:07. > :53:11.will get a chance, hopefully next week. Rhys Priestland's pulled his
:53:11. > :53:18.eye and Stephen Jones, we are not 100% sure where he is, and probably
:53:18. > :53:26.would have looked at playing James at 10 today, but we wanted to be
:53:26. > :53:36.careful. If James picked up an injury, it was only with Rees
:53:36. > :53:39.
:53:39. > :53:44.picking up the injury that we gave There is always a battle in Wales
:53:44. > :53:50.for the number 10 jersey and Warren Gatland has the luxury of James
:53:50. > :53:58.Hook and Greece Priestland. I am particularly priest -- pleased for
:53:58. > :54:02.Rhys Priestland because he has made the Test. Stephen Jones is a banker,
:54:02. > :54:07.but happy days for Warren Gatland and the number 10. James Hook said
:54:07. > :54:14.he wants to play at 10. He may 12, but it is about thinners and where
:54:14. > :54:19.the players are available to. James Hook has gone to France to play at
:54:19. > :54:22.10 because he was not happy with Ospreys, but international is
:54:22. > :54:29.another level. He proved in the Six Nations he is capable of playing
:54:29. > :54:34.there, but we will see. Ahead of the England game, what will happen?
:54:34. > :54:42.Martin Johnson will pick his best 15. Hopefully Ben Young will be fit
:54:42. > :54:47.to play. What he does in mid- field, I think he will stick to what he
:54:47. > :54:51.has in his mind, generally not been too wild in his experiments,
:54:51. > :54:58.sticking with shone 108 and Mike Tindall. But the performance needs
:54:58. > :55:03.to sharpen up -- Shontayne Hape. I want to see such aggression, tempo,
:55:03. > :55:07.playing at speed, delivering the ball quickly. That is what -- that
:55:08. > :55:11.is when England are at their best. We have seen them play extremely
:55:11. > :55:16.well against Australia last year, and now they need to bring their
:55:16. > :55:21.performance back up. There will be so difficult conversations over the
:55:21. > :55:24.next three days. That is internationally would be, they have
:55:24. > :55:33.to say to some of the players, sorry, you will not be on a plate.
:55:33. > :55:43.That is the way the cookie crumbled. Feints. There is plenty of rugby to
:55:43. > :55:59.
:55:59. > :56:02.Plenty of rugby to watch, but it is worth remembering that it is less
:56:02. > :56:06.than a year to go until the end in big games. We have a special
:56:06. > :56:10.programme coming up devoted to some of the sport and landmarks which
:56:10. > :56:14.will form the centrepiece of the London Games, from Mark Cavendish
