The 34th birthday tomorrow under 100 cap today for Gethin Jenkins. Quite

:01:02.:01:07.

a weekend for me the fourth Welshman to reach a century of appearances

:01:08.:01:12.

for his country. A lot at stake for Wales as they seek a first at

:01:13.:01:16.

international win against anybody for four years. For Warren Gatland,

:01:17.:01:24.

a day for ringing the changes after a brutal defeat against South Africa

:01:25.:01:25.

last weekend. The power of the South African

:01:26.:01:56.

pack. They are an immense force. George North is beaten. The referee

:01:57.:02:07.

awards the try. Jonathan Davies is coming off. Concede the try, lose

:02:08.:02:15.

two players. It is a double blow for Wales. Wales have lost three players

:02:16.:02:39.

in the first half hour. That is a try from a master strategist. It is

:02:40.:02:46.

the same old story, Wales have only beaten South Africa once in 107

:02:47.:02:48.

years. After the Springboks, the Pumas.

:02:49.:03:01.

Argentina won on your last visit to Cardiff 12 months ago but 2013 has

:03:02.:03:06.

been a tough year for them on and off the field. Nine defeats out of

:03:07.:03:11.

ten, losing a coach and a number of star players. Just six players

:03:12.:03:16.

survive from that triumph here one year ago. The roof is closed and it

:03:17.:03:25.

is one of those outside nondescript Saturdays in November. There are

:03:26.:03:36.

lots of football fans here from Finland to see Gareth Bale in the

:03:37.:03:42.

international friendly in football tonight. We have witnessed today a

:03:43.:03:57.

very distinguished trio of guests. They are arranged in height order,

:03:58.:04:02.

starting with the Argentine captain when they got to the World Cup

:04:03.:04:11.

semifinals in 2007. Very few people could carry off pink trainers on

:04:12.:04:14.

television and you are one of those people. The man in the medal is one

:04:15.:04:24.

of the four to 100 caps for Wales. And we have a British Lions centre.

:04:25.:04:29.

You are injured currently. There are lots of games taking place across

:04:30.:04:33.

the northern hemisphere, and you can see lots of them on BBC television.

:04:34.:04:40.

Here are the details. Martyn Williams, let's start with

:04:41.:05:05.

you. Why have Wales not been able to win in November for four years. It

:05:06.:05:12.

is the million-dollar question. We have had so much success, grand

:05:13.:05:17.

slams, championship wins. The only thing I can put it down to is

:05:18.:05:22.

intensity. It is the step up from club level to international level.

:05:23.:05:27.

We have struggled over the last few years and we have lost key players

:05:28.:05:31.

to injury. We know we have the quality within the squad and the

:05:32.:05:37.

team. The carrot has been dangled and so many occasions and wheels

:05:38.:05:40.

have come within touching distance and have not managed to do it. --

:05:41.:05:52.

and Wales. Why is that? I just think we have not been good enough. You

:05:53.:05:57.

need to score tries. We have not been able to do that in the last few

:05:58.:06:02.

games. I noticed in your newspaper column this morning you said that

:06:03.:06:06.

you were looking forward to working for the BBC. You said it was great

:06:07.:06:12.

but it would also be horrific. At the bottom of that list is the match

:06:13.:06:16.

last weekend. What was your take on how the boys played last week? I

:06:17.:06:21.

thought their passion and commitment was second to none. They gave

:06:22.:06:25.

everything, but they came short on the scoreline. We did not score

:06:26.:06:31.

tries. If you're playing against the sides you need to score. Hopefully

:06:32.:06:35.

we can do that today against Argentina. We have got the quality.

:06:36.:06:45.

Unfortunately, we have had injuries. It is great to see Cory Allen making

:06:46.:06:51.

his first art. You were one of the people who fought hard to get

:06:52.:06:54.

Argentina into the Premier League of rugby nations. I do disappointed

:06:55.:06:58.

with the way that this year has gone? I am not disappointed. We did

:06:59.:07:06.

not expect the game that we had against South Africa, seven points,

:07:07.:07:09.

but we have played against the best teams in the world. It is tough.

:07:10.:07:18.

Once in Argentina, we had to beat them, and we could not beat them in

:07:19.:07:22.

the last ten minutes. It is a learning process. Last year, the

:07:23.:07:31.

rugby championship, it was good. We are adapting. The players go from

:07:32.:07:35.

Europe to the site. We still have to work it out. That is a key part

:07:36.:07:41.

debate today. But let's focus for the moment on the man of the moment,

:07:42.:07:45.

because he joins a very distinguished trio, which now

:07:46.:07:49.

becomes a quartet. Gethin Jenkins, 100 not out. I do not really

:07:50.:07:57.

remember my first cap, if I am honest. It is a bit of a blur.

:07:58.:08:01.

Hopefully Saturday will be different. You never think that far

:08:02.:08:07.

ahead in your career. My dream was to play for Wales. He's probably one

:08:08.:08:14.

of the grumpiest rugby players that I have ever met, but I mean that in

:08:15.:08:22.

a positive way. Sometimes he is grumpy because of his expectations.

:08:23.:08:26.

He wants to win. Definitely the high point for me was scoring a try and

:08:27.:08:39.

winning the grand slam in 2005. To be involved in such a big occasion,

:08:40.:08:43.

and to score a try, that was my high for Wales. It is great when you

:08:44.:08:51.

score, especially when you do not score very often. Adam James, Gethin

:08:52.:09:06.

Jenkins, and Mike Phillips are key to us. I have had some injuries.

:09:07.:09:15.

That is when I get frustrated, when I cannot be at full fitness.

:09:16.:09:18.

Hopefully I have a few more years in me. My family have supported me

:09:19.:09:24.

throughout. They have been there for most of the games. My mum would have

:09:25.:09:31.

been there cheering me on. You think about how one occasion. But after

:09:32.:09:35.

the national anthem is over, I concentrate on my job. It feels like

:09:36.:09:45.

it turns, the six Nations, and we go from a winning side to a losing

:09:46.:09:56.

side. We were winning side. We won two championships in a row. We need

:09:57.:10:03.

to pick up on that this weekend. With the best will in the world, he

:10:04.:10:09.

does not seem monumentally infused about winning 100 caps. He is so

:10:10.:10:15.

excited, you can tell from that interview! He keeps his emotions

:10:16.:10:21.

well hidden. But he is a world-class player and he has been for the last

:10:22.:10:26.

seven or eight years. He will be out there today, telling everyone how to

:10:27.:10:29.

pass, telling the hookers how to throw the ball in. He is phenomenal,

:10:30.:10:37.

truly world-class. When I first came into the setup, at Cardiff, you look

:10:38.:10:45.

to the senior players. He was always one of those players. The younger

:10:46.:10:51.

guys look up to him. The effect on any team he is playing in is

:10:52.:10:57.

massive. Justin Tipuric will have a major impact on the game, you would

:10:58.:11:04.

think. He is one of the players that traumatised England in the spring.

:11:05.:11:09.

Yes. Losing Dan Lydiate would normally be a big blow, but these

:11:10.:11:12.

three players and the screen have laid so well against England. They

:11:13.:11:23.

will provide a platform for the front five. They will cause havoc.

:11:24.:11:29.

Talk us through the Welsh line-up. There are few changes.

:11:30.:11:47.

Luke Charteris is waiting to come on, but the front five is where you

:11:48.:12:09.

win or lose the game. Dan Biggar is the big story, coming in for Rhys

:12:10.:12:13.

Priestland. It is a great day for Cory Allen, his first cap. His

:12:14.:12:16.

family have come from Norway. This is the man who has made those

:12:17.:12:39.

changes, Warren Gatland. A pretty brutal physical contest one

:12:40.:12:45.

week ago, and now, Argentina. These games are never easy. I sense from

:12:46.:12:49.

your reaction last week that he felt there were positives to take from

:12:50.:12:53.

the match with South Africa, giving the disruption with injuries? Yes,

:12:54.:12:58.

it was a brittle game, it was really physical. The way that we coped with

:12:59.:13:07.

major injuries, we got back into the game. It was 17-15. I am really

:13:08.:13:16.

proud of that. We need to work on defence and dominate in the air. We

:13:17.:13:20.

need to finish off the opportunities. We created more line

:13:21.:13:25.

breaks than the South Africans did last week. It is just about us being

:13:26.:13:32.

clinical. I cannot question the effort and the attitude of the

:13:33.:13:38.

players. These games in November are never easy. You have had a pretty

:13:39.:13:42.

poor record in recent times during the autumn internationals. Why is

:13:43.:13:48.

that? We realise it has not been great. Would I have great autumn

:13:49.:13:56.

internationals and a terrible six Nations, no, I would not. When we

:13:57.:14:05.

are at full strength, we have a very good team that can compete against

:14:06.:14:10.

anyone. Five of our British Lions players are out injured at the

:14:11.:14:15.

moment. It is about developing some depth within the squad. We have not

:14:16.:14:20.

had very great international matches recently. We have played the best

:14:21.:14:28.

teams in the world. We are well aware of that. It is important we

:14:29.:14:33.

get a result today. Hopefully we will get a result next weekend

:14:34.:14:38.

against Tonga. A mention of Cory Allen. He plays in the centre, as

:14:39.:14:45.

you do. I am sure that he will want to get the ball early. Yes. I am

:14:46.:14:53.

sure that the coaches have spoken to Dan Biggar, and told him to get the

:14:54.:14:57.

ball into this guy's hands. He is talented. He has shown what he can

:14:58.:15:07.

do in rugby sevens. How big a blow is the injury to Jonathan Davies?

:15:08.:15:13.

Very big. Especially with the man stood alongside me out as well. They

:15:14.:15:19.

work so well together. I think that the defence will be key today.

:15:20.:15:32.

Joining off -- going off to France, but fundamentally, a lot of Welsh

:15:33.:15:37.

fans will see one after another, that drip of good players. They say

:15:38.:15:43.

it is just money. It is professional sport. John Davies has want to

:15:44.:15:49.

improve himself and to get experience with one of the top

:15:50.:15:55.

teams. And they compete at the highest level every season. It is a

:15:56.:15:59.

fantastic way for him as a player and a person and we will see more

:16:00.:16:05.

awards players heading abroad. Is there no loyalty with the Welsh

:16:06.:16:11.

Rugby family? The fans are here watching every week and they deserve

:16:12.:16:15.

to see the best players? That is eight good question and you have to

:16:16.:16:21.

do what is best for your career, individually. This is an

:16:22.:16:38.

opportunity... They want to play in a winning side and the Welsh regions

:16:39.:16:42.

are not winning and are not successful. Go to Clermont and you

:16:43.:16:50.

will do that. This is the issue with Argentina? This is a professional

:16:51.:16:57.

sport and as long as it does not jeopardise the national team, the

:16:58.:17:02.

men are here to play. And they can get better here or there but at the

:17:03.:17:08.

end of the day, they must do what is best for their careers. Wales has

:17:09.:17:14.

got very talented players and they can play for the international team

:17:15.:17:18.

here and that is urgent but then if they go somewhere abroad, it is good

:17:19.:17:27.

they have that in the last 15 years. The Welsh team will be wearing a

:17:28.:17:33.

special symbol on their shirt and Jill Douglas can tell us about that.

:17:34.:17:38.

The team will put on their jerseys and you will be able to see this

:17:39.:17:45.

purple emblem on the sleeve. This smiling face and support of the

:17:46.:17:51.

former captain, Matthew Rees, who was undergoing treatment for

:17:52.:17:58.

testicular cancer. They decided they wanted to show support for their

:17:59.:18:01.

team-mate and former captain and for this emblem, purple shows support

:18:02.:18:06.

for the cancer charities and the smiling face because those that know

:18:07.:18:16.

that the rice -- Matthew Rees will know that he is very smiley. And we

:18:17.:18:18.

sent our best wishes. The atmosphere is building. A quick

:18:19.:18:28.

word about Argentina this year. Just one solitary victory against Georgia

:18:29.:18:33.

and some very heavy defeats in the Championship. And losing their

:18:34.:18:40.

coach. Where are you at the moment? This is professional rugby and the

:18:41.:18:44.

pressure comes in. They are under great pressure. We had a very tough

:18:45.:18:51.

Championship and a lot of teams were not performing very well. In other

:18:52.:18:57.

games we did not play so well. The first game against South Africa was

:18:58.:19:01.

not great but we were coming out of pre-season because lots of players

:19:02.:19:06.

were having four weeks of preseason training after leaving their clubs

:19:07.:19:10.

in England and France. That is a transition period and we have to

:19:11.:19:14.

adapt and even with that as best as we can and I think the guys did very

:19:15.:19:22.

well. Last year, we had to beat South Africa and we drew against

:19:23.:19:25.

them so it is a learning process. We are 15 years late to professional

:19:26.:19:31.

rugby and the clubs and the structure here in Europe but if we

:19:32.:19:34.

are not here, we will be left out. Talk about today's team. They have

:19:35.:19:42.

been in the rugby Championship for the last nine weeks and we have a

:19:43.:19:47.

very strong front row. A very good prop. Very experienced players. On

:19:48.:20:00.

the second row, their best we have. On the back row, a very young and

:20:01.:20:05.

experienced back row. Great young prospects. Very good backroom.

:20:06.:20:17.

Halfback, we have tried this combination. We are changing from

:20:18.:20:24.

last week. The centres did very well. They are experienced and they

:20:25.:20:30.

have been there for a while. Andy Buckley, they can do a very damaging

:20:31.:20:40.

game. Santiago Cordero, very young prospect. And has his 50th cap in

:20:41.:20:51.

his Argentina shirt. That is the tradition, we cut the hair off. Now,

:20:52.:21:02.

they have to suffer that! But a really good player. We saw him

:21:03.:21:09.

against England last week. His first cap, sidestep, 50 metres. How did

:21:10.:21:17.

you look with your head shaved? Not like myself! Jonathan Davies is in

:21:18.:21:27.

the commentary box. Good afternoon. We always talk about this team in

:21:28.:21:32.

terms of attack behind the scrum but other areas where there is room for

:21:33.:21:37.

improvement? I think there is. You have to earn the right to go wide by

:21:38.:21:41.

going forward first but at the international level, just take the

:21:42.:21:49.

ball to the right alley. Alun-Wyn Jones. What they need to do is just

:21:50.:21:57.

take that lake -- netball at the for Rhys Priestland. You either have

:21:58.:22:08.

three on one or four players onto. -- on two of them. Great support

:22:09.:22:17.

play. Scott Williams straightens up. That lovely run around the back of

:22:18.:22:22.

Jonathan Davies. He has to make a choice. Leigh Halfpenny or Jonathan

:22:23.:22:29.

Davies? Very well executed move. You have to ask a. To get to the ball

:22:30.:22:36.

carrier and they have to be five yards in front always.

:22:37.:22:40.

Unfortunately, they do not get their and that move guys away. That was in

:22:41.:22:46.

the first ten minutes. Again, they nicked the ball. Toby Faletau takes

:22:47.:22:55.

a ball. Very condensed. That dummy run, the tech people up, Rhys

:22:56.:23:00.

Priestland, Leigh Halfpenny needs to go around the back. And from that,

:23:01.:23:07.

you have that overlap against two of them. These little things they have

:23:08.:23:13.

to do. Those little differences. I caught up with Warren Gatland during

:23:14.:23:17.

the week and they said they were playing exceptionally well. They are

:23:18.:23:21.

really at the top of their game. They have a great bunch of players.

:23:22.:23:25.

Class players. They just need to find that 1%, chasing lost causes.

:23:26.:23:32.

Being in support of the breaker and those drivers will come. That will

:23:33.:23:37.

make the difference. You have got Leigh Halfpenny behind you and there

:23:38.:23:41.

are people who think that perhaps that channel outside the centre is

:23:42.:23:46.

the line he could be running. Is that a valid comment? He has great

:23:47.:23:52.

batteries, rate in the air and his kicking game. He has spoken publicly

:23:53.:23:58.

about how much he wants the ball in his hands and to run. Looking at

:23:59.:24:03.

last week, we can perhaps organise better this week. George is not

:24:04.:24:09.

quite get into the game as much as we would have liked last weekend. It

:24:10.:24:18.

is all about variety. A couple of years from now, we will be in the

:24:19.:24:23.

heart of the World Cup. Whatever your thoughts about Wales or England

:24:24.:24:31.

and Ireland, South Africa at Murrayfield tomorrow, you can

:24:32.:24:36.

contact us on Facebook or Twitter or e-mail. You can have your say. The

:24:37.:24:43.

one thing we have not spoken about, which is unusual, is the scrum and

:24:44.:24:48.

we spoke before the match about South Africa and 56 stone in the

:24:49.:24:54.

front row and that was a key area. What about the Argentina scrum? Is

:24:55.:25:05.

that the basis for the Pumas? It is. And that is one of the things it

:25:06.:25:08.

works really well so we expect that. We expect today to bring the scrum

:25:09.:25:15.

and to be very physical. Again, Wales are very experienced with the

:25:16.:25:20.

front five so it will be a good challenge. Martin? Oliver talk about

:25:21.:25:33.

Gethin Jenkins is correct and Rhodri Jones has been playing

:25:34.:25:36.

semiprofessional all year. This is a very big step today. He is a natural

:25:37.:25:43.

forward. And there is no tougher team to play against in the world.

:25:44.:25:49.

Hopefully the pitch will hold up. The pitch could be an issue because

:25:50.:25:58.

it looks rugby. -- rugby. A big moment for my macro. 50 caps. Played

:25:59.:26:06.

in the fantastic World Cup campaign that saw them finishing third. And

:26:07.:26:13.

in 2011. He has played for Leinster. Here come the Argentina team. One

:26:14.:26:19.

word game this year in Rome next weekend against Italy. Ashman Eoin

:26:20.:26:32.

Morgan. -- one war game. Gethin Jenkins. He will shortly run onto

:26:33.:26:38.

the field at the millennium Stadium. To win his 100th cap. For his

:26:39.:26:43.

country. And I am sure this is a mixture of pride and aviation and he

:26:44.:26:50.

will be humbled that the achievement he has. Only three people

:26:51.:26:54.

previously. What was it like for you? I came off the bench. There was

:26:55.:27:09.

a cricketer in the 90s who were suffering from injuries but that was

:27:10.:27:14.

the proudest day he had. I was talking to Trevor woodland, from the

:27:15.:27:21.

England World Cup team and he said that he was thinking about his

:27:22.:27:26.

mother and father. I suspect that is what is going to the mind of Gethin

:27:27.:27:29.

Jenkins at the moment. All of those people who have got him to this

:27:30.:27:31.

historic moment in his career. 99 caps for Gethin Jenkins. 100 very

:27:32.:28:07.

shortly. I am just happy he has got rid of his scrum cap. He would be

:28:08.:28:14.

very unhappy with me saying that. He is a winner, he is a competitor and

:28:15.:28:18.

he will be desperate for a win today. Both sides are lining up.

:28:19.:28:25.

Requires will sing the finest national anthems in the world, after

:28:26.:28:29.

which it will be Jonathan Davies and Andrew Cotter as your commentary

:28:30.:28:31.

team. # Oid, mortales, el grito sagrado.

:28:32.:30:00.

# Al gran pueblo argentino, salud! # Y los libres del mundo responden.

:30:01.:30:06.

# Al gran pueblo argentino, salud! # Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i

:30:07.:30:37.

mi. # Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri. # Ei gwrol ryfelwyr,

:30:38.:30:55.

gwladgarwyr tra mad. # Dros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed. # Gwlad, gwlad!

:30:56.:31:18.

# Pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad. # Tra mor yn fur i'r bur hoff bau. # O bydded

:31:19.:31:27.

i'r hen iaith barhau. A marvellous song and noise under

:31:28.:31:51.

the roof away from a gloomy November day outside. There have been a few

:31:52.:32:00.

of those in recent seasons. Last week's defeat to South Africa left a

:32:01.:32:04.

few bruises to deal with, but that gives others chances today. Rhodri

:32:05.:32:16.

Jones is in for Adam Jones. Justin Tipuric is in on the open side. Cory

:32:17.:32:28.

Allen is the new boy at centre. All apart from Mike Phillips are under

:32:29.:32:39.

the age of 25. Argentina have been lamenting the loss of their captain

:32:40.:32:42.

recently. Juan Manuel Leguizamon nowhere is the armband. An injury to

:32:43.:32:55.

Juan Imhoff will give Santiago Cordero his chance on the wing. A

:32:56.:33:04.

quick look at the replacements. We should see a debut for the tight

:33:05.:33:12.

head prop Samson Lee. The referee for this one is John Lacey. He is a

:33:13.:33:24.

former Munster fullback. The clearing kick under pressure

:33:25.:33:47.

does not gain too much crown. It was not the greatest. Today, Wales have

:33:48.:33:57.

got to create and score from those opportunities. The kicking game will

:33:58.:34:00.

be crucial. That is a good tackle. Bosch made

:34:01.:35:12.

the tackle on Tipuric. The kick goes into touch. It gets in the

:35:13.:35:16.

territory. Decent early defence from Argentina. I saw Leigh Halfpenny

:35:17.:35:25.

running into the hole on the outside of the centre.

:35:26.:35:41.

That is a very effective credence. It was taken by Manuel Carizza. --

:35:42.:35:53.

effective clearance. That was well taken by Tipuric. That

:35:54.:36:25.

is a great rolling maul. Here come Wales again. Richard Hibbard tries

:36:26.:36:37.

the off-load. Still with Wales. He is off his feet. That is the

:36:38.:37:08.

first penalty. Mike Phillips takes it quickly and goes. He finds Toby

:37:09.:37:10.

Faletau. There is still advantage for the

:37:11.:37:27.

penalty. Argentina are not back ten metres.

:37:28.:37:40.

That is a great tackle. It was still advantage. They come back all the

:37:41.:37:48.

way. It was a very good tackle by Sanchez. I do not think he was

:37:49.:37:54.

offside. It was from the first infringement. This will be three

:37:55.:38:02.

points. This will be a first chance at golf early have any. -- at goal

:38:03.:38:24.

for Leigh Halfpenny. He is one of the stars of world rugby, there is

:38:25.:38:28.

no doubt about that, with his efforts for the British Lions. That

:38:29.:38:38.

man did not too bad a job in his absence at the Six Nations. It has

:38:39.:38:46.

been a long season for the Argentinians. They do not have an

:38:47.:38:51.

off-season. It is just continues, it runs them ragged. -- continuous.

:38:52.:39:13.

Halfpenny and Wales are and running. Three points, richly deserved for

:39:14.:39:20.

all the pressure and play. He does not miss many. 312 points in Welsh

:39:21.:39:31.

colours now, Leigh Halfpenny. That was a great tackle. That was

:39:32.:40:19.

all from the tackle. What a fantastic tackle. I think it was

:40:20.:40:24.

Fernandes. He had help from Manuel Carizza. Watch the tackle. It is a

:40:25.:40:38.

good body angle. He has got the penalty. It is a big too far out.

:40:39.:40:53.

George North was talking about wanting a bigger game today. He was

:40:54.:40:55.

a little bit quiet last week. That was a great run by the

:40:56.:41:32.

Argentinian captain. It is an interception. Surely it is going to

:41:33.:41:41.

be a try. Mike Phillips goes the length of the field to score. The

:41:42.:41:48.

dummy was enough. That is what they needed. Just watch the supporting

:41:49.:41:53.

run of George North that takes the defenders away from Mike Phillips.

:41:54.:41:59.

He was looking for support. I did not think that he had the legs. It

:42:00.:42:07.

was very well finished. Just watch. This is the mistake. It is the rush,

:42:08.:42:15.

it was a great tackle. The ball bounces to Mike Phillips. Head down,

:42:16.:42:23.

it is a race. George North comes across, he throws the dummy, both

:42:24.:42:31.

players go to him. Great support by George North. I great opportunist

:42:32.:42:42.

try from Mike Phillips. -- a great. Mike Phillips is currently

:42:43.:42:46.

unattached. And it is a great opportunity and advertisement for

:42:47.:42:52.

his skills. Leigh Halfpenny Ticketus once again. -- to kick once again.

:42:53.:43:11.

Wales move to ten points. The tackle for Richard Hibbard one Sanchez

:43:12.:43:20.

almost made that. Yes. They get smashed. He is in and he is away. He

:43:21.:43:27.

will flash across, the two defenders will go, and he will score.

:43:28.:44:15.

This is marvellous from Santiago Cordero. That is magic from the new

:44:16.:44:22.

boy. There is still a chance for Argentina. There is an incident

:44:23.:44:34.

here. What a fantastic run. The dummy kick. Away he goes, what a

:44:35.:45:10.

great run. Penalty here? Get back in your box! He is happy. That does not

:45:11.:45:18.

meet with approval from the crowd. Let's have a look. Well, the tackle

:45:19.:45:30.

on Joaquin Tuculet? There are two ways of doing that. Was he going for

:45:31.:45:36.

the ball carrier? He did hit -- take his opponent out. It is a yellow

:45:37.:45:42.

card. Very unlucky because I think he was trying to get to the ball

:45:43.:45:48.

carrier. Wales down to 14 men for the next ten minutes and a chance

:45:49.:45:55.

for Nicolas Sanchez... Plies his trade at Bardot. -- Bordeaux. And a

:45:56.:46:07.

chance you. That was so dangerous for Wales! Still Argentina. The ball

:46:08.:46:19.

favoured them on the interception. One man short. They have to put a

:46:20.:46:26.

shift in. Plenty here for Argentina. Wonderful off-loading from Marcelo

:46:27.:46:33.

Bosch. Moving it nicely, the Pumas. Little chip from Lucas Gonzalez

:46:34.:46:40.

Amorosino. Asher and Nicolas Sanchez. He hits the bread. Take

:46:41.:46:55.

some stopping. This is the tackle. What do you think? From that angle,

:46:56.:47:11.

even less conclusive. Play goes on. An opportunity for the Argentinians

:47:12.:47:14.

to come back and do this, one man short.

:47:15.:47:22.

Santiago Fernandez, he was bearing down on them all. I am sure he is

:47:23.:47:30.

going to gather it. That line-out works nicely for Argentina.

:47:31.:47:52.

Nicolas Sanchez, little clip on that kick. Again, they have won the ball.

:47:53.:48:08.

If they can move it wide? Again for Argentina. He gets it away to Dan

:48:09.:48:16.

Biggar. He is chasing three Argentinian players. Into touch.

:48:17.:48:24.

Quickly taken by Argentina. Gethin Jenkins, though. His first run.

:48:25.:48:32.

Overlap the side. One man short. Well done, Bradley Davies. Santiago

:48:33.:48:39.

Cordero again. Just about. Scott Williams. They talk so glowingly

:48:40.:48:46.

about this talent on the wing. They have such an awareness of space.

:48:47.:48:52.

Carried in for Argentina. They are attacking with an extra man. Justin

:48:53.:48:57.

Tipuric, still serving his jail time. Not getting any points, as

:48:58.:49:08.

yet. Every time the ball has gone down, the Bynes has favoured Wales.

:49:09.:49:15.

That was well watched by Williams. And Leigh Halfpenny. And Sanchez

:49:16.:49:25.

waiting in return for that one. Just plugs a guide from just inside his

:49:26.:49:31.

own body do. Wales will be happy with this. Blind one man and

:49:32.:49:40.

containing Argentina. Again, he looks up. Secondarily from. Good

:49:41.:49:57.

cover by Scott Williams. They should always have their heads shaved.

:49:58.:50:02.

Alun-Wyn Jones. He has taken a knock. You can contact us through

:50:03.:50:17.

e-mail, that is so last season. Twitter and Facebook. And all that

:50:18.:50:24.

jazz. Also Instagram. We are aware that! -- with it. Always a struggle

:50:25.:50:35.

for hookers inside the Millennium Stadium to hear the instructions.

:50:36.:50:48.

Well taken by Sam Warburton. They did not do enough of this last week

:50:49.:50:52.

as well. They worked on it in training. He will not be happy with

:50:53.:50:59.

that. What a turnover that is. That was a bad start for Wales. But they

:51:00.:51:04.

are a little bit up against it. Still looking very handsome on the

:51:05.:51:05.

scoreboard, though. And Wales have the penalty inside

:51:06.:51:19.

the Argentinian half. This will be interesting. Will he go for the

:51:20.:51:29.

penalty? Yes, he will. Turnover. Gethin Jenkins, isn't it?

:51:30.:51:49.

Look at the position. That is mostly in the first ten minutes. Again, it

:51:50.:52:04.

is what you do with your chances when you have the ball. And Wales

:52:05.:52:09.

have a chance to stretch their lead. 17 minutes. Have we had a scrum yet?

:52:10.:52:19.

Know, which is why we are all smiling. Quite unusual. No trouble

:52:20.:52:26.

with the distance. He just needs to stroke it.

:52:27.:52:38.

Yes, he is running back. He knows it is good. Up 13 points and 91 man. --

:52:39.:52:56.

I'm one man. -- down one man. Despite the potential threat for

:52:57.:52:59.

Argentina, they have nothing and Wales have all the points. That kick

:53:00.:53:06.

was too far. Taken in by Phillips. That was a good tackle. Phillips

:53:07.:53:19.

with the kick. And the captain decides to kick. Here he goes,

:53:20.:53:32.

number eight. Another knock on? Of the food, says the referee. Still

:53:33.:53:40.

Argentina. Close to the line. That was great play from Juan Manuel

:53:41.:53:52.

Leguizamon. Pushed back. Still playing with one man advantage,

:53:53.:53:58.

remember. Scott Williams was rocked as he made that tackle. They need to

:53:59.:54:08.

go right. And so they do. Still Argentina's ball. But they need

:54:09.:54:15.

points to show for this. Just slows down a little bit. A little look

:54:16.:54:19.

around from Martin Landajo. Trouble again. They are saying good football

:54:20.:54:26.

at the minute, the Argentinians. Go playing. He did not stop play but

:54:27.:54:32.

everybody halted. And now the penalty to Wales. He said play on

:54:33.:54:39.

and everyone stopped, even the ball carrier.

:54:40.:54:50.

Lovely chap. -- chip. Such a good player, 32 macro. Tremendously

:54:51.:55:11.

powerful. -- Juan Manuel Leguizamon. People will remember his celebration

:55:12.:55:18.

playing for London Irish. Well, I think there is one minute left in

:55:19.:55:29.

the sin bin. Both sides in, Captain? Over the head. Loose and taken up.

:55:30.:55:39.

That was a poor tap. And then they were shoving it on. Alun-Wyn Jones

:55:40.:55:50.

and support. Scott Williams. Where does this one go? It will go on. We

:55:51.:55:57.

have a little bit of a scrum here. Exciting. The first scrum. I do not

:55:58.:56:03.

understand that little kick. That is always dangerous. Just in time.

:56:04.:56:15.

Justin Tipuric comes back on. And Wales scored three points to ring

:56:16.:56:23.

that time. -- during. The first scrum of the match. The first test.

:56:24.:56:28.

Rhodri Jones. I want your shoulders up. Here we

:56:29.:56:47.

go. That is not acceptable. Both of you. OK? John Leslie laying down the

:56:48.:56:54.

law. And down she goes again. Penalty.

:56:55.:57:12.

Not yet perfect. Maximilano Bustos penalised. Downward pressure on the

:57:13.:57:20.

right shoulder, he said. Chance for a relieving kick. From Dan Biggar.

:57:21.:57:31.

That is a good kick as well. Argentina conceding more penalties

:57:32.:57:43.

earlier on. The line-up coming up. I think they will be happy with things

:57:44.:57:47.

so far. Just if you mistakes to iron out. Straight through! No stopping

:57:48.:57:57.

him! In for the try for Wales. Their second. That is a very well worked

:57:58.:58:09.

try. You take all of the back row forwards, up to the line, expecting

:58:10.:58:15.

to go midfield. And then he just steams up the middle. They tied him

:58:16.:58:24.

in. He takes the last man. Lovely step. They have worked and worked

:58:25.:58:38.

this one on the training field. He said he wanted to make more of an

:58:39.:58:41.

impact this week and George North, with the try. And Wales have 20

:58:42.:58:48.

points. This is a very good try. Just watch this. He goes to the

:58:49.:59:00.

back. Just watch. Mike Phillips takes the last man white. That is a

:59:01.:59:05.

lovely step. Very well worked, that is. Ominous for Argentina. Get the

:59:06.:59:19.

ball. Out into touch. It is draining for these players. They did not too

:59:20.:59:28.

badly against Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. But there

:59:29.:59:32.

were also some heavy defeats in their as well. It will take a while

:59:33.:59:38.

to adjust to the pace of that competition. Alun-Wyn Jones. Penalty

:59:39.:59:53.

to Wales. Offside. Did he have his hands on the ball? Don't take the

:59:54.:00:12.

chance. See of his hands were on the ball. See if his hands. Juan Manuel

:00:13.:00:25.

Leguizamon felt it was fair play to go through and try and get that all.

:00:26.:00:36.

Yet, just watch. He says his hands will run the ball. Was it off, I do

:00:37.:00:40.

not know? It is a tough one to call. -- was it offside. That is of side.

:00:41.:01:30.

Wade is the mark? That is an interesting col. Does he go for goal

:01:31.:01:37.

the touchline? Marcelo Bosch has plenty of distance. I think there is

:01:38.:01:42.

enough time left. You have got to take the points. There might be as

:01:43.:01:58.

-- there might be some choice language going on down there.

:01:59.:02:03.

Apologies for that. It is these rugs and types. It is the referee's

:02:04.:02:07.

microphone. It is picking up everything.

:02:08.:02:58.

Wales claim that was a knock-on, but the referee says no. Advantage to

:02:59.:03:08.

Argentina for an offside, and the penalties there is. -- is theirs.

:03:09.:03:27.

Look at this tackle. Richard Hibbard. That is a good head. There

:03:28.:03:40.

are not many hookers in the game better than him at the moment. A

:03:41.:03:51.

chance for the first points on the board. Nicolas Sanchez gathers them

:03:52.:04:10.

up. South Africa are playing Scotland at Murrayfield tomorrow.

:04:11.:04:21.

Today, Ireland take on Australia later on. England are playing New

:04:22.:04:32.

Zealand at the moment. It is on BBC radio just now and you can see

:04:33.:04:33.

highlights tomorrow. Release, number seven. It is

:04:34.:04:49.

Argentina's ball again. That was a little knock-on by

:04:50.:05:27.

Argentina. It is Wales's ball in the scrum. They are quite energetic, the

:05:28.:05:37.

Argentinians. That is a lot of variety in their play. I think

:05:38.:05:44.

they're trying to expand the game. It has been quite entertaining in

:05:45.:05:49.

that respect. This is only the third scrum we have had. I am watching

:05:50.:06:00.

that left shoulder. Make sure that he binds. It is OK, other than that.

:06:01.:06:09.

The referee is having a chat to Gethin Jenkins. 30 minutes gone at

:06:10.:06:20.

the millennium Stadium. It all looks good for Wales. Let's get some

:06:21.:06:31.

thoughts from the studio. At the moment, I think that Argentina have

:06:32.:06:34.

played most of the rugby. I think that they need to be more tactical

:06:35.:06:41.

about it. Wales are slowing the ball really well in the contact area.

:06:42.:06:47.

Argentina are trying too hard and Wales are capitalising. The thoughts

:06:48.:06:58.

of the former Argentina captain. He led them so well at the 2007

:06:59.:07:13.

Argentina -- 2007 World Cup. There was good yardage on that kick. It

:07:14.:07:23.

was a good game. The pace has just dropped a little bit in this match.

:07:24.:07:28.

But it has been very entertaining, the opening half-hour. Wales scored

:07:29.:07:32.

the vast majority of the points. Biggar sees space in the corner. It

:07:33.:08:13.

has gone the wrong side of the corner flag. We understand that

:08:14.:08:20.

there was going to be rotation at Number 10, that Biggar was always

:08:21.:08:32.

going to come in for this game. I think that Rhys Priestland and

:08:33.:08:35.

Biggar crippling exception of the well this season. They are picking

:08:36.:08:51.

from strength. -- are playing exceptionally well this season.

:08:52.:08:58.

James Hook is waiting. I am sure that he will, and later. We have not

:08:59.:09:13.

had many scrums so far. Come on, get your feet underneath. Let's have a

:09:14.:09:33.

good scrum. One that finishes. That was a good shot from Argentina. It

:09:34.:09:39.

is a solid scrum. I think the Welsh will be happy with that.

:09:40.:09:57.

I have been very impressed with the Argentinian attack. There has been

:09:58.:10:04.

lots of good running and lots of writing. -- lots of variety. That is

:10:05.:10:19.

a penalty for Argentina. Liam Williams is penalised. Number 11,

:10:20.:10:32.

released the ball first. There he is, he stayed on his feet, but he

:10:33.:10:37.

did not release it. That was a good decision from John Lacey. Joaquin

:10:38.:10:46.

Tuculet is trying to bite off a huge amount here. That is a poor, poor

:10:47.:10:57.

kick. Joaquin Tuculet quiz taking out by Richard Hibbard. -- was taken

:10:58.:11:14.

out. Martin Landajo, the Argentinian scrum-halves, is making light

:11:15.:11:15.

complaints. Wales are going to have the line-out

:11:16.:11:54.

deep inside the Argentinian 22. Yes, and what an opportunity to

:11:55.:12:04.

attack. The ball is out. The careful. -- be careful. That was

:12:05.:12:27.

never in touch. It was a great take. Wales are looking to end the second

:12:28.:12:41.

half strongly. Let me deal with that. The last scrum was good for

:12:42.:12:54.

you. The last scrum was pretty good from both sides. Yes. Young Rhodri

:12:55.:13:06.

Jones is doing a good job. You can see it beginning to go down. Rhodri

:13:07.:13:17.

Jones gets a pat on the back from Alun Wyn Jones. He has big shoes to

:13:18.:13:25.

fill, from Adam Jones. He has sliced that. Little things

:13:26.:14:02.

like that make a big difference. There are just under two minutes

:14:03.:14:06.

left. Wales will see this is a bigger but unity. -- as a big

:14:07.:14:19.

attacking opportunity. If they can get something from this, they will

:14:20.:14:22.

be pleased with their first-half performance.

:14:23.:14:35.

The knock-on came from Argentina in the end. There is a significant

:14:36.:14:43.

difference in the support lines today. Look at them running, looking

:14:44.:14:48.

for the past. That is the difference. This is a good scrum

:14:49.:14:51.

position. Held at the back. Toby Faletau picks

:14:52.:15:20.

up. Mike Phillips, looking inside. Straight in front of him. They are

:15:21.:15:28.

both wingers on that side. Penalty, but might be the last action of this

:15:29.:15:35.

far. -- that. Juan Manuel Leguizamon complains. This will go for the

:15:36.:15:50.

goal. Well, no time left. I was not sure what was happening, there. Mike

:15:51.:16:05.

Phillips looked a little bit lost. REFEREE: 15, inside one metre,

:16:06.:16:13.

please. Leigh Halfpenny, trying to sneak one extra yard, there.

:16:14.:16:21.

Tremendously rich source of points, hears. -- he is. This will be the

:16:22.:16:29.

last touch of this half. Wonderful kick. Five from five four

:16:30.:17:06.

Leigh Halfpenny, and a very impressive first-half for Wales.

:17:07.:17:13.

Deservedly well in front. They are running in pairs. One opportunist

:17:14.:17:18.

interception from Mike Phillips and a very well worked training ground

:17:19.:17:26.

execution. So, yes, they will be very happy and comfortable and will

:17:27.:17:29.

want to build on that in the second half. A funny old game because

:17:30.:17:40.

Argentina have the best opportunities but the day began with

:17:41.:17:44.

Gethin Jenkins acknowledging the fact that this is his 100th cap. A

:17:45.:17:52.

dropped ball and Mike Phillips was away with great running from George

:17:53.:17:58.

North. Look out for this man in the future. Santiago Cordero. But that

:17:59.:18:05.

chance went begging. George North how that great inside pass off the

:18:06.:18:10.

back of the line-out and Wales had two tries to the good. 23-3 at

:18:11.:18:24.

half-time. More meters made for Argentina. There are no clear-cut

:18:25.:18:31.

opportunities. Argentina would leave that as well. -- lead. Martin? Yes,

:18:32.:18:42.

Jonathan said that. Strange game. Argentina played pretty well with

:18:43.:18:46.

the ball in hand, similar to Wales last week, not clinical enough.

:18:47.:18:52.

It is a long road back because Wales are defending pretty well. Strange

:18:53.:18:58.

one to analyse. Everybody remembers watching you playing when you were

:18:59.:19:07.

all this and that. You wear! Yes, I think again, Argentina played a lot

:19:08.:19:16.

of rugby and I said this before, tactically, we are not playing well,

:19:17.:19:21.

Argentina is used to being put under pressure. This is the balance we are

:19:22.:19:26.

searching for in the Championship. You need to score tries and the boys

:19:27.:19:30.

have played a lot of rugby, they are trying hard but mistakes at this

:19:31.:19:34.

level, you lose the ball and Mike Phillips was under the post. You get

:19:35.:19:40.

it wrong on the defence and that is 20 points. And Wales have been an

:19:41.:19:48.

hour have scored. Very clinical. As a neutral fan, they will be very

:19:49.:19:53.

restricted, Argentina. Fluid in attack and a couple of mistakes.

:19:54.:20:00.

From a Welsh point of view, they have not played so much rugby. Going

:20:01.:20:05.

back to Mike Phillips, we have analysed this, Argentina have just

:20:06.:20:13.

overcomplicated things. Santiago Cordero, if he just passes this,

:20:14.:20:18.

Juan Manuel Leguizamon would be through, under the post, but he has

:20:19.:20:23.

gone for the ball behind. That was a poor pass to Nicolas Sanchez and you

:20:24.:20:29.

could argue they should have done better. Mike Phillips is doing very

:20:30.:20:34.

well. That was a good speed. And George North? Martin mentioned his

:20:35.:20:43.

skill and vision, George has made that trip. Working very hard off the

:20:44.:20:51.

ball. That 14 point swing and psychologically for Argentina, they

:20:52.:20:56.

have played some good food and they are down and have not done anything

:20:57.:21:00.

wrong, really. That is such a big dent. The man with no hair and the

:21:01.:21:10.

dancing feet. I said that before. You were watching him last year,

:21:11.:21:15.

eight years young and talented. He enjoys playing rugby. He was

:21:16.:21:31.

selected to play in our under 20 and under 19 teams and I do not want to

:21:32.:21:36.

talk too much about him but I have said this before, he is going to be

:21:37.:21:42.

a fine rugby player. This was a magnificent chance? The centres are

:21:43.:21:47.

always taught to chase kicks in Wales. That was a golden opportunity

:21:48.:21:52.

for Argentina. They will look back at that. That could prove pivotal.

:21:53.:22:00.

That was pivotal and if the first try, from Phillips, was the Ford

:22:01.:22:06.

team point swing, then the try from George North, opportunism? This

:22:07.:22:17.

looks pretty clear-cut. I think that was poor defence. No communication

:22:18.:22:23.

at the back. That is a training ground move. Argentina were a little

:22:24.:22:30.

bit vulnerable at the line-out but that was a great finish and great

:22:31.:22:33.

execution, great little touch from Mike Phillips. Justin Tipuric and

:22:34.:22:40.

Toby Faletau, midfield, that counts at this level. This is what I talk

:22:41.:22:48.

about, being clinical. Mike Phillips fuzzy inside ball and he can go out.

:22:49.:22:57.

But was a well executed move. We did not see that coming on the inside.

:22:58.:23:03.

Once the first line of defence is gone, it is very dangerous to catch

:23:04.:23:08.

up. I am sure you have done this, when George North is running at you

:23:09.:23:12.

from the line, it is not much fun? It is frightening. If there is one

:23:13.:23:19.

player who could play in the NFL! He has got the size and the pace and

:23:20.:23:24.

the agility. When you have that agility and that size, it is scary.

:23:25.:23:30.

He has shown that he is one of the leading wingers in world rugby and

:23:31.:23:36.

only 21? He will be doing what Gethin Jenkins was doing. Talk about

:23:37.:23:40.

the way that Wales have slowed the ball down? They have done a very

:23:41.:23:47.

good job. We missed 12 tackles, which is not like Wales. Perhaps not

:23:48.:23:52.

creating the actual turnovers but if you look at these examples, slowing

:23:53.:24:00.

the ball down, just a spit second. Justin Tipuric slows down, does not

:24:01.:24:03.

steal the ball but he knocks the momentum and a good -- they get that

:24:04.:24:09.

full red line of defence. Pretty decent ball, quick ball. Rhodri

:24:10.:24:14.

Jones and Sam Warburton, they do not win the turnover, which makes it so

:24:15.:24:22.

easy for the line, the defence. It is those little things, and

:24:23.:24:31.

Argentina get frustrated. One final talking point, Ryan Moore is a

:24:32.:24:36.

regular part of the team here and he has been raving for many years about

:24:37.:24:44.

the scrum and we have somebody here is a key person in deciding the

:24:45.:24:47.

future direction of the game. What is happening? We all agree that it

:24:48.:24:54.

has been the most criticised part of the game and, again, it is a very

:24:55.:25:01.

technical part of the game and the referee, it is very hard for him. I

:25:02.:25:06.

am not so sure that the referee knows or understands clearly what's

:25:07.:25:10.

going on. How do you get them to understand? We are working with

:25:11.:25:14.

those new changes. And they are helping a lot. What we will see this

:25:15.:25:19.

autumn is the new rules are changing but, again, it is a very complex

:25:20.:25:25.

situation and you can ask the front row or anybody in the scrummage, it

:25:26.:25:30.

is a completely different world in the scrum half. I feel sorry for the

:25:31.:25:36.

referee. Criticise them when the ball is not being put in straight

:25:37.:25:41.

because that is clear to see. You need a front row forward there. In

:25:42.:25:48.

some shape or form, to help referee. I cannot comment too much but for an

:25:49.:25:52.

area of the game that plays such a pivotal part in the outcome, for it

:25:53.:25:56.

to be such a grey area, that is frustrating at the highest level.

:25:57.:26:01.

Argentina, they pride themselves on the scrum, down the years they have

:26:02.:26:05.

won matches from the back of the scrum. To be such a grey area is

:26:06.:26:10.

very frustrating for this game. All of us have to work, not only the

:26:11.:26:16.

referee. We have to educate players to do scrummage is well and

:26:17.:26:21.

straight. And for coaches to help that and for the IRB and the various

:26:22.:26:26.

panels to work on this and make it clear. Because it is a very

:26:27.:26:29.

important part and it is in the DNA of our game. We cannot make it

:26:30.:26:34.

weaker. We are relying on you to sort it out at! Andy Moore rugby to

:26:35.:26:42.

show you later on. Ireland against Australia from Dublin coming up

:26:43.:26:48.

after this and after that... -- we have plenty more rugby.

:26:49.:27:07.

That is later tonight. Following the Ireland, Australia game which kicks

:27:08.:27:19.

off at 4:55pm. That is on BBC Two. And England against Australia,

:27:20.:27:23.

highlights on BBC Three at 7pm and repeated tomorrow as well and a

:27:24.:27:27.

special programme this week, because this is the 10th anniversary of

:27:28.:27:31.

England winning the World Cup on November the 22nd. On the 21st of

:27:32.:27:39.

November, Clive Woodward reviews that much and where he thinks that

:27:40.:27:45.

England went right and wrong. Let us talk about this game and the second

:27:46.:27:48.

half because 20 points, what do you do? If you carry on playing the

:27:49.:27:55.

game, you could still suffer a very clinical Welsh side slowing the ball

:27:56.:27:59.

right down. And kicking very well. They have to start with the

:28:00.:28:03.

fundamentals. But the ball behind the back of the Welsh front line and

:28:04.:28:09.

tried to create opportunities and put them under pressure. One of the

:28:10.:28:14.

advantages of able getting injured is you must give others an

:28:15.:28:16.

opportunity to see what they are made of which might be the start of

:28:17.:28:20.

who knows what. What have you made of Cory Allen? He has not had too

:28:21.:28:25.

many opportunities with the ball but defensively, he has done very well.

:28:26.:28:31.

We like to come out of the line and make good decisions and he has done

:28:32.:28:35.

that. Shaun Edwards will be very pleased. But the type of game to get

:28:36.:28:39.

the ball in his hands too much but hopefully in the second half. 20

:28:40.:28:47.

points, they need to just come out with the correct mindset and take

:28:48.:28:49.

the game to Argentina. Argentina came out and they did say last week

:28:50.:28:55.

at Twickenham. They are causing the Welsh problems with the ball in

:28:56.:28:59.

hand. The Welsh will want to tighten up and make sure they have more

:29:00.:29:03.

fluid -- fluency with the ball in hand. Go through the phases a little

:29:04.:29:08.

bit more and put the Argentinians under more pressure. That is James

:29:09.:29:13.

Hook. This has been a very long half-time. What happens is we have a

:29:14.:29:21.

raft of replacements which might disrupt the continuity of the game.

:29:22.:29:30.

If you look at the Welsh bench, they are in a good place. They want to

:29:31.:29:35.

just kick on. This is what topsides do. The first score either get

:29:36.:29:41.

Argentina back into the match or puts Wales well and truly out of

:29:42.:29:44.

sight. It will be very important. Jonathan Davies and Andrew

:29:45.:29:46.

Cotter... If Wales need anyone in, they only

:29:47.:29:56.

need to look to last week when England had a very similar lead at

:29:57.:30:01.

half-time and Argentina came back. In the rugby Championship, the teams

:30:02.:30:06.

they play, they cannot just roll over in the second half. Because

:30:07.:30:12.

they will be put away quite heavily. They are accustomed to coming out

:30:13.:30:15.

behind and they will give it all again. The right mindset. Argentina

:30:16.:30:32.

have made one change. Amorosino is on at fullback. Joaquin Tuculet is.

:30:33.:30:42.

-- is off. That is a good drive. He was held

:30:43.:31:31.

up. That is good captaincy. Keeping the referee suite is very important.

:31:32.:31:43.

Perhaps he slipped him some money! It is a good scrum from Argentina,

:31:44.:31:45.

but Wales get it away smartly. If they get it wide, there is a

:31:46.:32:37.

chance. Scott Williams. George North, Leigh Halfpenny is there.

:32:38.:33:03.

A second chance for George North. He was taken down round the ankles. But

:33:04.:33:11.

it is coming back for a Welsh penalty. Let's see what they do

:33:12.:33:19.

here. They should take the points. George North is in trouble. I think

:33:20.:33:26.

he just tripped over. It looked very innocuous. We hope that he is just

:33:27.:33:35.

winded. We hope it is nothing more serious. Let's see what happened. He

:33:36.:33:48.

skips the tackle. I think it is just astray and former Albacete. -- a

:33:49.:34:01.

stray arm from Albacete. Perhaps he landed awkwardly on his neck. They

:34:02.:34:13.

will take every precaution. His arms were trapped so he could not stretch

:34:14.:34:18.

them out to save himself. He is a bright, thankfully. Leigh Halfpenny

:34:19.:34:32.

will put the three points over. He is back on his feet. It is a great

:34:33.:34:41.

run. George North is back on his feet. If you want to beat Southern

:34:42.:34:48.

Hemisphere sides, those are the opportunities you have to score. If

:34:49.:34:57.

you think of any of the top three sides, having a breakaway like that,

:34:58.:35:04.

they would score. The Welsh boys will be disappointed with that,

:35:05.:35:08.

because they are tight with really great force. -- because they

:35:09.:35:23.

attacked. Well, they did not score a try, but it ends with three more

:35:24.:35:26.

points on the board for Wales. Look at this. George off-loads. That was

:35:27.:35:36.

a great opportunity. That was carried back into the 22,

:35:37.:36:02.

so out on the full works even better for Argentina. Yes. Let's have a

:36:03.:36:11.

look at this take. That is nothing really wrong with that. Bradley

:36:12.:36:24.

Davies is still down. Luke Charteris is waiting on the bench. There he

:36:25.:36:47.

is. That is the lovely inside pass. This is a great tackle. This is the

:36:48.:37:02.

tackle. He is tough to bring down. He is very strong and quick. Bradley

:37:03.:37:10.

Davies is still receiving treatment. You can contact us through all

:37:11.:37:16.

manner of social media. The details are run the screen. -- are on the

:37:17.:37:31.

screen. Argentina with a good attacking position. Bradley Davies

:37:32.:37:33.

is back with us. That is good play by Tipuric. That

:37:34.:37:44.

is what he is therefore. Good play by Biggar. He saw where

:37:45.:38:15.

the touchline was and he just drilled him in the tackle. They are

:38:16.:38:24.

just picking up the pace. The Argentinians must be tired. They

:38:25.:38:31.

have the longest season of any national side. They are bound to

:38:32.:38:33.

tire. Play with intensity and pace. Santiago Fernandez was looking for

:38:34.:39:22.

that one, but Leigh Halfpenny claimed it. That was unlucky. It was

:39:23.:39:35.

a forward pass in the end. It has gone into touch, that is the

:39:36.:39:40.

decision. He just tried to play the overlap. That is what he did. Just

:39:41.:39:56.

watching. -- just watch him. I think Faletau is a fantastic footballer.

:39:57.:40:06.

There he is. His father was a great Tongan international. He claimed --

:40:07.:40:16.

he came to play rugby in the field, and Di Resta is history. -- in Ebbw

:40:17.:40:45.

Vale and the rest is history. The scrum is sad. It is a penalty for

:40:46.:41:02.

Argentina. Gus Pichot in the studio summed it up. Does anyone know what

:41:03.:41:15.

is going on in the scrum? That was a decent kick. That is the position

:41:16.:41:26.

for Argentina. They are 23 points adrift at the moment. If they got

:41:27.:41:31.

one score, they might be able to feel their way back into this game.

:41:32.:41:36.

But they are looking a little blunting the final third of the

:41:37.:41:37.

pitch. Alun Wyn Jones trying to get fit in.

:41:38.:42:35.

-- to get a foot in. Sanchez had a pop at it. He knew the penalty was

:42:36.:42:39.

coming. That is why he had a go at it. Wales 23 points in front.

:42:40.:42:53.

They're having to make a few tackles as well. Yes. Wales have missed a

:42:54.:43:02.

few as well. They will not be happy with that statistic. That is Jamie

:43:03.:43:19.

Robinson. -- Jamie Roberts. Sanchez gathers the points for Argentina

:43:20.:43:25.

with a wonderfully easy style. They are back within 20 points. It is

:43:26.:43:33.

very different to the match we saw last year between these two sides.

:43:34.:43:38.

Wales were very off-colour, and Argentina were said a better side.

:43:39.:43:42.

They have been beaten up a little bit this year. Juan Manuel

:43:43.:43:45.

Leguizamon again. That is a terrible mistake. You get

:43:46.:44:00.

points on the board, and the next thing, the client layout of the own

:44:01.:44:05.

22, and they give Wales a great attacking position. -- they try and

:44:06.:44:24.

play out of their own 22. Wales have options either side.

:44:25.:44:39.

It is a free kick. Not straight at the scrum. It is a free kick for

:44:40.:44:46.

Argentina. There she goes. Luckily, he missed

:44:47.:45:11.

that. Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino floats that wide. Maximilano Bustos

:45:12.:45:22.

off-loads. Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino switches it

:45:23.:45:38.

infield to Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino. Penalty to Wales. I think they will

:45:39.:45:57.

bring Leigh Halfpenny up? So far, six from six. From Leigh Halfpenny.

:45:58.:46:07.

That is the first dummy. Good off the ball rolling. Lovely finish.

:46:08.:46:17.

There have been mutterings about Mike Phillips becoming a centre of a

:46:18.:46:20.

contract player. Always a talking point. He is unattached at the

:46:21.:46:25.

moment and the six Nations is coming up. Might be an opportunity to see

:46:26.:46:29.

how it goes. Wales with a couple of tries and the

:46:30.:46:51.

steady, unyielding boot of Leigh Halfpenny.

:46:52.:47:12.

That was a rare mess. That was one of his easier kicks. It just drifted

:47:13.:47:21.

off? Yes, the follow-through was not quite there. Just drifts past the

:47:22.:47:32.

upright. The game has not quite been killed off just yet. The restart.

:47:33.:47:51.

Almost backwards? Yes. Fernandez. Just waiting for a change from

:47:52.:47:57.

Argentina. Bringing on Leonardo Senatore, coming on for Pablo

:47:58.:48:07.

Matera. He has a hint of Alun-Wyn Jones about him. It has not been a

:48:08.:48:16.

great game for him, one of the great players in the Argentinian side.

:48:17.:48:31.

Always works. Point the camera at him! That was a good drive from

:48:32.:48:44.

Argentina. Wales have to be sharp. Leigh Halfpenny, except well.

:48:45.:48:56.

Wonderful try for Toby Faletau. The Argentinian defence cut apart. That

:48:57.:49:01.

is what we like to see, Leigh Halfpenny, running deep. He has the

:49:02.:49:08.

pace. Lee Williams gets the pace. And brilliant support play from Toby

:49:09.:49:21.

Faletau. Get on the outside. The winner is caught inside. Lovely

:49:22.:49:29.

finish. Santiago Cordero gets caught a little bit. Leigh Halfpenny gets

:49:30.:49:34.

on the outside. The inexperience of Santiago Cordero. Lovely inside ball

:49:35.:49:38.

and great support play. Lovely drive. The second half needed

:49:39.:49:47.

something to lift the crowd and Toby Faletau delivered that. Three tries

:49:48.:49:49.

for Wales. They are past 30 points. That was low but through the posts.

:49:50.:50:08.

Two point four Leigh Halfpenny. And at the moment they are heading in

:50:09.:50:14.

the right action. Here we go. How can a free kick be

:50:15.:50:30.

given at the last scrum? That was blatantly not straight. But the

:50:31.:50:36.

referee has to be consistent. Penalise him again. You wonder why

:50:37.:50:42.

they give the occasional one, there. Little bit of frustration. Here come

:50:43.:50:54.

Wales again. Cory Allen gives the dummy. Back infield to Leigh

:50:55.:51:01.

Halfpenny, trying to sneak through. Still, Wales come. Philip 's is

:51:02.:51:03.

down. Justin Tipuric. Richard Hibbard is in there. Cory

:51:04.:51:28.

Allen, that was well placed. Taken out as he was grabbing adept by

:51:29.:51:36.

Santiago Fernandez. All fair, says the referee. So near for George

:51:37.:51:44.

North. Here we go, Mike Phillips. Great ball, as well. Cory Allen.

:51:45.:51:50.

Plenty of support, there. Inside ball. One little pass and they are

:51:51.:51:58.

in. That was fantastic scrambled defence. Just a little bit too far,

:51:59.:52:08.

I feel. You have to tackle the player. Look at that. He goes for

:52:09.:52:14.

it. If he takes it, he has to make the tackle. It is not a penalty. You

:52:15.:52:17.

have to make that penalty. Argentina about to make another

:52:18.:52:35.

change. Sam Warburton asking the referee about tackling of the ball.

:52:36.:52:46.

The assistant said, that was not a penalty. So, Argentina making the

:52:47.:52:59.

change. Gabriel Ascarate. He is on, the Glasgow centre.

:53:00.:53:11.

Good position as well. Argentina's ball. Into the final quarter.

:53:12.:53:20.

Wales have to keep their discipline. Good field position. Dancing George

:53:21.:53:48.

North keeps it in! Liam Williams. That was a poor kick. That was a

:53:49.:53:56.

shocker. Given away to Juan Manuel Leguizamon. The game has picked up

:53:57.:54:06.

in temple again. This is what Wales have to do. -- tempo. Here they go

:54:07.:54:18.

again. The chance to counterattack. Give it to George Owen. George North

:54:19.:54:21.

is the man chasing. All side. That offside. Yes, feet inside. Yes.

:54:22.:54:57.

What thoughts from the studio. In the first-half, tactically we were

:54:58.:55:02.

not laying in the right places. We were just playing on our pitch a lot

:55:03.:55:07.

of the time. I am sure that in the dressing room, they have said, go

:55:08.:55:13.

out and play. But laying against a very clinical Welsh side, when you

:55:14.:55:19.

play in your have, the ball is very difficult to just go 50 or 60

:55:20.:55:25.

metres. Argentina have put in a lot of the effort but Wales have done

:55:26.:55:31.

really well in the second half. They have had plenty of ball. Plenty of

:55:32.:55:36.

rugby to play. But not in the right areas. As is always the way in

:55:37.:55:45.

rugby. Yes, there is George North playing in the centre. This could be

:55:46.:55:54.

a channel ball out, very quickly. Toby Faletau down the right-hand

:55:55.:55:58.

side. With Leigh Halfpenny, George and Liam Williams. The pitch has

:55:59.:56:04.

held up pretty well today. At this time of year it is not bad at all.

:56:05.:56:07.

Holding up very well. We want to see this scrum. It is an

:56:08.:56:24.

attacking opportunity. I was walking past the park this morning, the

:56:25.:56:32.

artificial one. And at Liberty Stadium they have that hybrid one.

:56:33.:56:38.

Might that we the future? Maybe. The drainage is not very good here.

:56:39.:56:48.

Another massive effort by Richard Hibbard. Ken Owens is on to replace

:56:49.:57:09.

him. The Welsh ball. Again, Toby Faletau has to get rid of that

:57:10.:57:12.

sharply. Great strength by Cory Allen. Enjoying his first cap. More

:57:13.:57:23.

of the ball in the second half. Yes. Scott Williams. Rhodri Jones, and

:57:24.:57:36.

wide it comes. Luke Charteris off-loading. He is on for Bradley

:57:37.:57:49.

Davies. Well, it has been another good game for Richard Hibbard. That

:57:50.:57:56.

is a great run by Richard Hibbard, there. He tries to off-load. Nearly

:57:57.:58:17.

50,000 here today, under the roof. Well, 46,000, the official

:58:18.:58:22.

attendance. Four matches for Wales in this international series. If

:58:23.:58:31.

they were to be Tonga, and Australia after that decent performance, they

:58:32.:58:34.

detect that. They were not far away against South Africa. -- they would

:58:35.:58:42.

take that. So, just about ready to go again.

:58:43.:59:12.

Again, options either side. Leigh Halfpenny has dropped back. You

:59:13.:59:22.

expect Argentina to win this scrum. Sometimes they don't look straight

:59:23.:59:25.

but they have to go down that channel. They don't have to be

:59:26.:59:30.

exactly straight? Some part of the ball has got to be in the middle,

:59:31.:59:34.

that is what they say. Referees have got to be consistent and then the

:59:35.:59:39.

scrum half will put the ball in straight or else they will be sat on

:59:40.:59:44.

the bench, in the sin bin. From up above, that looked askew. Just get

:59:45.:59:54.

on with it. That was a very good kick. A little bit unlucky. Leigh

:59:55.:00:04.

Halfpenny was not really sure. He was blowing it. 15 minutes to go.

:00:05.:00:25.

Wales just about home and dry. They are going to play to the last minute

:00:26.:00:28.

and they want to show a little bit more. Argentina with a couple

:00:29.:00:31.

waiting to come on. Amorosino was under pressure, and

:00:32.:01:03.

Wales get deep -- get the penalty. This is a chance to try and find

:01:04.:01:10.

field position. He has gone for good distance, Biggar. That is a great

:01:11.:01:22.

kick. It is wonderful. On come the replacements for Argentina, the

:01:23.:01:30.

hooker, Santiago Iglesias Valdes. Also, Tomas Lavanini. He is the

:01:31.:01:40.

second row. He comes on for Manuel Carizza. The other player to leave

:01:41.:01:46.

his Eusebio Guinazu. The ball is at the back with Ken

:01:47.:02:16.

Owens. They are going faster now, driving towards the line. Another

:02:17.:02:26.

try for Wales. They will be absolutely delighted, Ken Owens,

:02:27.:02:33.

absolutely delighted. Very well worked, total control. It is a first

:02:34.:02:44.

try for Wales for Ken Owens. They have produced all sorts of tries

:02:45.:02:49.

today from a variety of positions. This was all the forwards. Yes,

:02:50.:03:00.

total control. They were patient. I will let Martyn Williams in the

:03:01.:03:03.

studio explain that one in finer detail. Ken Owens, happy with his

:03:04.:03:20.

work. Wales are ready to make a couple of substitutions as well. Lee

:03:21.:03:25.

have any will try and get Wales to 40 points. -- Leigh Halfpenny.

:03:26.:03:47.

That is a wonderful strike! Wales hit 40. This is turning into a very

:03:48.:04:00.

impressive win. Wales take the chance to make other changes as we

:04:01.:04:04.

look at the try again. Yes, total control. There he is, Gethin

:04:05.:04:19.

Jenkins. Well played, his 100th cap. He is world class. James Hook is on.

:04:20.:04:30.

Samson Lee is in the front row for Rhodri Jones. It is his first cap.

:04:31.:04:38.

Lloyd Williams is also one. Wales are running riot. -- is also on.

:04:39.:05:17.

Wales have got to keep it going. Argentina are man short on this

:05:18.:05:29.

side. They are always isolated. It is a penalty, quickly taking.

:05:30.:06:02.

I think there is an injury on the far side for Wales. I think it is

:06:03.:06:19.

Scott Williams. Scott Williams was trying to get his hands on it. It

:06:20.:06:22.

might be an interception. Marcelo Bosch. It is a very loose game now.

:06:23.:06:34.

The players are very tired. It comes back to Sanchez.

:06:35.:07:34.

That is a contest on the ground. It is a penalty to Argentina. There is

:07:35.:08:06.

Ashley Beck. That went the wrong side of the corner flag. Ashley Beck

:08:07.:08:17.

comes on. Argentina are making changes as well. That is Nahuel

:08:18.:08:26.

Lobo, the Newcastle prop. He is coming on for Marcos Ayerza. The

:08:27.:08:32.

Leicester man has not really had his chance to do anything in the scrum.

:08:33.:08:43.

Cory Allen was the man to give way to Ashley Beck. Eight minutes to go.

:08:44.:08:55.

I wondered if there are more scores to come in this game. Yes, the

:08:56.:09:00.

Argentinians are trying to keep it up, to keep the ball open, to create

:09:01.:09:02.

opportunities. Alun Wyn Jones, head in hands. It

:09:03.:10:00.

was on, it was on. That was wonderful stuff from Wales. Matias

:10:01.:10:14.

Diaz is coming on for Argentina, the front row, for Max Bustos. Also,

:10:15.:10:23.

Ryan Jones coming on for Wales, for Toby Faletau. He has been absolutely

:10:24.:10:28.

fantastic, Toby Faletau. Argentina are looking very weedy. --

:10:29.:11:43.

weary. What about the man of the match today? My man of the match,

:11:44.:11:49.

Toby Faletau. He has been tremendous. Great informants is from

:11:50.:11:55.

a lot of people, but it has to be him. Mike Phillips did exceptionally

:11:56.:12:01.

well, but he has been outstanding, Toby Faletau. -- great performances

:12:02.:12:13.

from a lot of people. There was just a little leg on Liam

:12:14.:12:33.

Williams there, which was caught on the big screen. Yes. As he is

:12:34.:12:54.

getting up, there was a stamp. Yes, forward pass. Yes, I know. Still to

:12:55.:13:10.

come tonight, Ireland against Australia, that is on BBC Two at 445

:13:11.:13:12.

GM. -- 4:45pm. I was about to say that the scrum

:13:13.:13:58.

seems to have sorted itself out at Mike -- sorted itself out, but look

:13:59.:14:06.

at that. Great support from the Welsh public once again.

:14:07.:15:22.

They are forcing them back. Argentina have a penalty. So, back

:15:23.:15:41.

they come. They will be very, very happy. Yellow card. Samson Lee, ten

:15:42.:15:57.

minutes in the sin bin on his debut. Into the final minutes. Argentina

:15:58.:16:01.

attacking against 14 men. Patricio Albacete, he got it away.

:16:02.:16:23.

But they are heading backwards. They are trying to be too lateral. The

:16:24.:16:29.

worst offence is too good, they have to go forward. But to give them

:16:30.:16:34.

credit, they are playing an expansive game because a lot of the

:16:35.:16:40.

old heads on the front row have got to play a different game. Trying to

:16:41.:16:46.

sneak through the middle. The last passage of play. And it will go to

:16:47.:16:53.

Wales. And a chance to score. Numbers this side as well. Still

:16:54.:16:57.

looking for another try. Scott Williams. He was crowded, there.

:16:58.:17:13.

He dropped it, it seemed to go backwards. And that will be the end

:17:14.:17:22.

of things, they're all. -- they are very happy with a very handsome win.

:17:23.:17:31.

1% of kick and chase is good, they put their all through the hand a

:17:32.:17:35.

little bit more. And then they were just too strong, they scored as

:17:36.:17:42.

opportunists. And they will be very happy with Cory Allen. Rhodri Jones

:17:43.:17:45.

and Rhodri Jones, their performances. And especially that

:17:46.:17:51.

man. Hopefully, no injuries going into their last games in the autumn.

:17:52.:17:56.

But a very solid performance and they will be very happy with that

:17:57.:18:03.

result. Defeat for Argentina and an encouraging win for Wales. Four

:18:04.:18:05.

tries and 40 points. It has been a long time coming,

:18:06.:18:17.

their first autumn international victory since 2009. I thought the

:18:18.:18:23.

second half, they had total dominance, physically. Much more

:18:24.:18:27.

organised. Wales have been more clinical than last week and they

:18:28.:18:31.

took their chances, a really impressive performance. I think that

:18:32.:18:38.

Argentina looked at their feet after 55 minutes. The good thing about

:18:39.:18:43.

Wales in the second half is they came out and they were pretty

:18:44.:18:47.

ruthless and clinical. They will be very happy. 12 months ago, Argentina

:18:48.:18:53.

were victorious year. How have you gone from being comprehensive

:18:54.:18:57.

winners to losing by 34 points today? Wales played very well.

:18:58.:19:07.

Credit to the Welsh team. They needed to win desperately. And

:19:08.:19:12.

Argentina, again, looking to play some good rug they and very

:19:13.:19:19.

clinical, really good, clinical performance from Wales. Here is a

:19:20.:19:26.

man who will be known by Justice Christian name, he is George and he

:19:27.:19:31.

is with Jill. George North, so many positives. How did it feel to be

:19:32.:19:39.

part of that? It was great, from last week, we had a lot of mistakes

:19:40.:19:43.

and we tightened up our game and we were more accurate than we were

:19:44.:19:46.

going forward but from last week it is a massive improvement. It has

:19:47.:19:51.

been a long time coming to get improvements in these autumn

:19:52.:19:55.

matches. Yes, it is good and we didn't start the best last week but

:19:56.:19:59.

this is a massive competition for us and Argentina played very well. But

:20:00.:20:07.

it is good for us to win. Rob said he was hoping you would get back to

:20:08.:20:12.

some other form from the summer. Great support in that Mike Phillips

:20:13.:20:17.

tried and then to steam up the field yourself to score, that was straight

:20:18.:20:23.

from the training pitch? Yes, it was just generally a better performance,

:20:24.:20:28.

myself included. The team played in the right areas and to our strengths

:20:29.:20:31.

and they were more accurate. Congratulations. George North was an

:20:32.:20:38.

obvious contender for Man of the Match but Toby Faletau got that. We

:20:39.:20:45.

will hear from him. The thing is, we can see this try. What is the ideal

:20:46.:20:50.

combination in the back row? I wanted to watch Toby Faletau.

:20:51.:20:55.

Positive support. They can easily follow the ball. I used to make a

:20:56.:21:02.

living from this! 20 metres from his run and he anticipated that Drake

:21:03.:21:06.

and he is on the inside shoulder. Fantastic run. That is one thing

:21:07.:21:12.

that Wales did not do as well last week. We have not flooded the line

:21:13.:21:21.

and run without support line. To have the vision to see him and the

:21:22.:21:25.

accuracy to find him. Toby Faletau getting Man of the Match. Wales have

:21:26.:21:30.

got three from four in the background. And Ryan Jones came on

:21:31.:21:36.

and he always makes a very big impact. Selection headache over the

:21:37.:21:43.

next couple of weeks. It is all about Australia. And Sam is where he

:21:44.:21:50.

is. It will be uninteresting selection. Sam Warburton is

:21:51.:22:03.

delighted to have woken the record. He was going to be the captain of

:22:04.:22:06.

Wales for eight consecutive defeats. We can forget that. Letters talk

:22:07.:22:14.

about the final Welsh drive. There is one area of the game that we do

:22:15.:22:17.

not go into in much detail. Tell us about this. Ken Owens will get the

:22:18.:22:23.

plaudits for this, his name will be in the paper. Number 16. The boys in

:22:24.:22:30.

front, particularly Alan win, we can see him. It is so easy for him, he

:22:31.:22:36.

keeps grabbing players, probably too high, technically. He is dragging

:22:37.:22:42.

bodies with him. Luke Charteris is also doing a great job. Those voice

:22:43.:22:47.

in front, very unusual to have a driving line like that. -- boys. His

:22:48.:22:56.

parents stay in the same hotel as us every single match. They will be the

:22:57.:23:02.

happiest people in the entire stadium after that, his first try.

:23:03.:23:08.

We have seen Argentina teams doing that to other teams around the

:23:09.:23:13.

world. In an attempt to improve the Argentinian game and tried to throw

:23:14.:23:19.

the ball around, is perhaps the traditional strength of the game, in

:23:20.:23:24.

the pack, being diminished? There are big challenges in this and we

:23:25.:23:29.

have learned playing against the southern hemisphere that you need to

:23:30.:23:33.

score tries and you have to try things, challenge yourself, play

:23:34.:23:40.

rugby that we are not used to. To be more clinical and tactical. And this

:23:41.:23:44.

team is experiencing this, this is change. We like to see this but we

:23:45.:23:50.

cannot lose the fundamentals of every scrum. But again, we want to

:23:51.:24:01.

improve and we have to construct a better team for 2015 and the future

:24:02.:24:06.

of Argentinian rugby. That is the challenge. We need to expand our

:24:07.:24:12.

game and throw the ball around. To work clinically and tactically well

:24:13.:24:19.

and to come here and beat Wales. To go into play South Africa and New

:24:20.:24:22.

Zealand every year and make a good Championship. I never understand

:24:23.:24:28.

Argentina and Italy, two countries where football is ingrained into the

:24:29.:24:33.

mentality of the people and yet these countries have struggled for

:24:34.:24:38.

years and years to have a Number ten who can run the game, who has got

:24:39.:24:44.

the technical skills rugby wise but also the feet, that would be natural

:24:45.:24:48.

as an Argentinian or Italian. Why do you not have a Number ten who

:24:49.:24:54.

candidate matches? Because we are challenging the way that Argentine

:24:55.:25:00.

rugby has been and would want to be. It has to do with number nine and

:25:01.:25:06.

number ten. For the last 20 years, we depended a lot between number

:25:07.:25:13.

nine and those big/ the game has changed, you have to attack more and

:25:14.:25:20.

we will see that choice with number ten and number 12 and about running

:25:21.:25:26.

the game. It is very important and we need to work on that. We need to

:25:27.:25:31.

work on the Number tens coming through and they have to learn how

:25:32.:25:36.

to play Alan 's rugby. Who plays Number ten for Wales in an ideal

:25:37.:25:41.

world? James Hook? James Hook will start against Tonga. That is the

:25:42.:25:48.

word. On that performance, Dan Biggar has won a shout for the

:25:49.:25:52.

Australia game. Even under his own posts, he had the vision to run for

:25:53.:26:05.

those 80 outbreaks. You feel for Rhys but Dan Biggar has one that

:26:06.:26:16.

today. Who do you want? Bisley, Dan Biggar has played very well and has

:26:17.:26:20.

made some very good decisions. He has kicked whenever the team needed

:26:21.:26:25.

territory. -- basically. As Martin said, Rhys played in the tougher

:26:26.:26:32.

matches last week and the coaches will make the right choice.

:26:33.:26:36.

Ultimately, it is a great position to be in. He is a better politician!

:26:37.:26:43.

In terms of next week, next Friday, live on BBC Two, the match against

:26:44.:26:50.

Tonga, do you keep the same team as much as you can to get that

:26:51.:26:52.

continuity and the understanding or do you change wholesale because it

:26:53.:26:58.

gives people a game? When we change wholesale become unstuck. When

:26:59.:27:06.

injuries permit, I try to keep at least ten or 11 of that starting 15.

:27:07.:27:13.

We have been caught out before. We come off the back of the Alliance.

:27:14.:27:18.

Off the back of a lot of rugby. Whether we see Warren taking the

:27:19.:27:23.

option to rest players and freshen them up and give them some

:27:24.:27:26.

conditioning and get bodies right for Australia, because that will be

:27:27.:27:31.

a massive game. You can see Australia in a few moments, playing

:27:32.:27:36.

Ireland at the Aviva Stadium in Ireland and that is live with us on

:27:37.:27:41.

BBC Two. 4:35pm. And England against UserLand, you will want to see that.

:27:42.:27:47.

Highlights on BBC Three tonight. Thank you. They are happy. Not much

:27:48.:27:59.

we can say? No! You can watch widely with your pink shoes through the

:28:00.:28:01.

streets of Cardiff! Thank you for having me. Pleasure to be in Wales,

:28:02.:28:07.

I love this country and I have played with some great players and I

:28:08.:28:11.

will probably see them tonight. And I will cheer up. But thank you for

:28:12.:28:16.

having me. Thank you. That is it from us. A lot of people will head

:28:17.:28:22.

down the road to watch Gareth Bale. We are heading to Scotland for

:28:23.:28:24.

Scotland against the Springboks tomorrow. We will see you then.

:28:25.:28:25.

Goodbye.
