Wales v Australia

0:00:34 > 0:00:38After a year away to steer the British and Irish Lions through the

0:00:38 > 0:00:43most dramatic of New Zealand tours, he's back. Bloodied but unbowed,

0:00:43 > 0:00:46resolute and determined to set Wales on the road to the next World Cup in

0:00:46 > 0:00:55Japan. It all starts today.If I was allude just to coach and never have

0:00:55 > 0:00:59to do an interview or media, that would be the ultimate. But, you

0:00:59 > 0:01:08know, it's part of the job.Warren Gatland was name Lions head coach

0:01:08 > 0:01:19for the tour to New Zealand. COMMENTATOR:Her we go. Try!There

0:01:19 > 0:01:26was media who drew criticism.Warren Gatland is being a little bit

0:01:26 > 0:01:33desperate said the opponent coach?I was coming out fighting.The

0:01:33 > 0:01:38visitors have the edge. We have a series.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43COMMENTATOR:It's over. All tied up. The game is over. It's 15-15 draw.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47To draw the series is an unbelievable achievement when you

0:01:47 > 0:01:54consider we were completely written off. My focus is back to Wales and

0:01:54 > 0:02:04the Autumn and looking forward to 2019.The Lions tour is put a memory

0:02:04 > 0:02:08for five of the side today. They have eyes on Japan. This autumn

0:02:08 > 0:02:13series, which includes the All Blacks and the Springbok is a real

0:02:13 > 0:02:18test. Today will be as hard as any. The Australians haven't losts to

0:02:18 > 0:02:24Wales for a decade. They beat New Zealand a monthal. Only Alun Wyn

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Jones remains. Can he captain the side to victory and make it unlucky

0:02:27 > 0:02:3413 for the Wallabies? Saturday night in Cardiff, the roof is closed. They

0:02:34 > 0:02:38have switched the Christmas lights on in the city centre. Outside the

0:02:38 > 0:02:42Principality Stadium it's a sea of 1,000 lights and inside, let's hope

0:02:42 > 0:02:48the rugby we see over the next month is equally uplifting. Four months on

0:02:48 > 0:02:52consecutive Saturdays. Australia today, Georgia and New Zealand and

0:02:52 > 0:02:58then South Africa. For all of those games from a Welsh perspective their

0:02:58 > 0:03:04captain Sam Warburton is missing because of injury. He is part of our

0:03:04 > 0:03:10commentary team alongside Paul O'Connell, James Horwell and Martin

0:03:10 > 0:03:14Williams. State of play, injury wise, when you are back?Looking at

0:03:14 > 0:03:18January. Three to four months they are look at. Hopefully some point in

0:03:18 > 0:03:22January. Don't know exactly when. I think I will know more during

0:03:22 > 0:03:27December time, but, yeah, January is working well so far.Are you a good

0:03:27 > 0:03:30watcher?We will find out. I'm quite aggressive.

0:03:30 > 0:03:35I will have to tone it down in the studio.You two together! In general

0:03:35 > 0:03:39terms before we talk about the Lions and Warren Gatland's ten years in

0:03:39 > 0:03:45Wales. Australia have gone from zero to hero and suddenly in six months

0:03:45 > 0:03:48the whole of Australian rugby feels like it has been transformed. How

0:03:48 > 0:03:55important is this for them today? It's a really important game. As you

0:03:55 > 0:04:00said, with the losing of the Super Rugby Team the Western 4s and

0:04:00 > 0:04:06players losing their jobs. A lot of these guys are getting their first

0:04:06 > 0:04:09year of international rugby. It's building on confidence. They had a

0:04:09 > 0:04:15great win against the All Blacks they beat the Barbians in Japan.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19Four games on the bounce, which people wouldn't have expected, come

0:04:19 > 0:04:26June.For all the big powers in the Northern Hem fierce. Scotland played

0:04:26 > 0:04:30and extraordinary game. We will show the England game. We won't get the

0:04:30 > 0:04:36result away. Ireland are playing South Africa. How much is everybody

0:04:36 > 0:04:42planning for the future or is it about todayWales are play planning

0:04:42 > 0:04:45for future bringing in Owen Williams and making a statement about how

0:04:45 > 0:04:49they want to play. Ireland I think probably less so. They haven't made

0:04:49 > 0:04:54as many changes. A lot of the changes Ireland make are more

0:04:54 > 0:04:58incremental, slowly but surely. Australia I think, not many changes.

0:04:58 > 0:05:05They have found their real good pack. Two of the pack that started

0:05:05 > 0:05:09against Scotland in the summer, only two started in the win against New

0:05:09 > 0:05:14Zealand two weeks ago. They have haved on a good pack that can

0:05:14 > 0:05:17provide ball for their excellent backline. Every team is in a

0:05:17 > 0:05:22different stage.What do you make of where Wales are at the moment?First

0:05:22 > 0:05:26time we have turned up at the Principality Stadium in a gu few

0:05:26 > 0:05:29years not knowing what to expect from the Welsh time. We have known

0:05:29 > 0:05:33for so long what we would get, there are so many unknown that is make it

0:05:33 > 0:05:40exciting. You are up against a strong team so there is trepidation.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44We are slow starters. There is no world ranking points at stake we can

0:05:44 > 0:05:49experiment and look at different players and grow the best of the

0:05:49 > 0:05:57squad and get strength and depth. Sam, we have pictures here of the

0:05:57 > 0:06:02Third Test and the pictures of you with Kyran holding the trophy. Not

0:06:02 > 0:06:07knowing what to do. Three months on, how do you reflect on what was an

0:06:07 > 0:06:11extraordinary few weeksInitially, it was disappointment because the

0:06:11 > 0:06:16players, you know, they had their eyes set on winning the Test series

0:06:16 > 0:06:21from day one. Since we came home, the perception from fans has been so

0:06:21 > 0:06:25positive, it's seen as a success. As players it's an opportunity missed.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30I still look back on it and look at those pictures now. I don't think

0:06:30 > 0:06:35either of us knew how to feel. It feels the same way. Everyone's

0:06:35 > 0:06:38perception has been positive so it has taken the disappointment away.

0:06:38 > 0:06:44As players you are seeking the win. Do you think you should have in

0:06:44 > 0:06:48advance been told there might be extra time or do you think a a draw

0:06:48 > 0:06:53is a draw?I spoke to one of the Lion chiefs I asked him what the

0:06:53 > 0:06:58situation was with extra time. Me and Kyran were chatting and we said,

0:06:58 > 0:07:03flip a coin, golden point. Drop goal, penalty try whatever.As long

0:07:03 > 0:07:09as you got it?Brilliant. It's never gone to that. If it's a drawn series

0:07:09 > 0:07:15it a's a drawn series. They went with tradition this time.Warren

0:07:15 > 0:07:20Gatland is like a father figure. Your career with Wales and the Lions

0:07:20 > 0:07:22he has been overseeing your career. What relationship do you feel that

0:07:22 > 0:07:33you have with him?Some of the boys do call him my dad.You have ruined

0:07:33 > 0:07:40him in the Welsh camp.We have a good working relationship, I trust

0:07:40 > 0:07:47what he will do and he trusts me in what I'm going to do. We are not

0:07:47 > 0:07:50living in each other's pockets. We are not questioning each other.

0:07:50 > 0:07:55Trust each other's role. We get on with it. It worked OK. He's a

0:07:55 > 0:08:01brilliant coach. He has done extremely well with Wales and the

0:08:01 > 0:08:06longevity in his career so far.He has been international coach twice

0:08:06 > 0:08:09as long as any other person in international rugby, it's

0:08:09 > 0:08:18remarkable. Could equate him to Arsene Wenger. How does he keep your

0:08:18 > 0:08:21interest and keep training interesting and things refreshed?He

0:08:21 > 0:08:26knows what works for him. Training might differ. We have a consistent

0:08:26 > 0:08:32training plan. This is the biggest change we are have seen. I don't

0:08:32 > 0:08:38know what will happen in this game. I'm intrigued to see what is going

0:08:38 > 0:08:42to happen.If you think the stadium is looking empty at the moment there

0:08:42 > 0:08:44have been issues here about security, extra security over the

0:08:44 > 0:08:49course of the next three or four weeks. As a consequence they asked

0:08:49 > 0:08:53the fans to get here earlier. Maybe one or two didn't do that. It's just

0:08:53 > 0:08:56about sold-out the Principality Stadium today. I hope one or two

0:08:56 > 0:09:00people will not miss the kick-off. Lots of Australians in the town. We

0:09:00 > 0:09:05saw them today. They arrive here this year as every year pretty

0:09:05 > 0:09:08optimistically, as they have done over the last decade. Certainly last

0:09:08 > 0:09:13year, well after all the pomp and the circumstance and the hymns, the

0:09:13 > 0:09:22game was done and dusted after half an hour.

0:09:27 > 0:09:28COMMENTATOR:Beautiful pass.

0:09:28 > 0:09:34COMMENTATOR:Beautiful pass. Australia over the line. Try award.

0:09:34 > 0:09:47Warded. -- awarded.Very clinical. Reece Hodge scores.I'm sorry,

0:09:47 > 0:09:53that's too easy.Great pass. Turn over. Australia. Foley is going to

0:09:53 > 0:10:01score.That ten second summed the difference up.Williams for the

0:10:01 > 0:10:10line. Will score. Something to cheer at last at the Principality Stadium.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Davies long. Another try for Australia. Australia have won

0:10:14 > 0:10:16convincingly in Cardiff.

0:10:22 > 0:10:28That was pretty emphatic. Here's the dismal tale as far as Wales are

0:10:28 > 0:10:30concerned.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33dismal tale as far as Wales are concerned. Their last victory was in

0:10:33 > 0:10:382008. When you look at the statistics people can say you treat

0:10:38 > 0:10:44each game on their merits. Australia must come brimmed full of

0:10:44 > 0:10:48confidence.We love coming to Cardiff. If you look at the results,

0:10:48 > 0:10:53last season there was a big difference between the teams. The

0:10:53 > 0:10:57rest were single digits. It has been close games prior to that and it

0:10:57 > 0:11:03comes down to the end. It's an 80 minute effort. The boys know that is

0:11:03 > 0:11:07expected. They it continue their confidence they have been building

0:11:07 > 0:11:16over the last few weeks.We hoped to speak to the Australian coach, but

0:11:16 > 0:11:20they were delayed,, so he had to coach

0:11:20 > 0:11:24they were delayed,, so he had to coach the side. Kurtley Beale is

0:11:24 > 0:11:30playing at fullback, he is not a bad substitute?Losing Israel for this

0:11:30 > 0:11:35tour is going to hurt the teams. He has been the rock at the back for

0:11:35 > 0:11:38the last three or four seasons. Kurtley gets his hands on the ball.

0:11:38 > 0:11:43You will see a lot of him coming into first receiver and taking a

0:11:43 > 0:11:47load off Bernard's shoulders. He is good at getting that second touch.

0:11:47 > 0:11:52If the two big centers can get their hands-free and off-load that is

0:11:52 > 0:11:57where he will pop-up. Snoop three first receivers in the back three.

0:11:57 > 0:12:04Reece Hodge could step in there as well. Kurtley B will step in. But he

0:12:04 > 0:12:08will be a massive loss. Australia don't take the kick of the goal.

0:12:08 > 0:12:13They go to the corner and they maul. After that maul, when they get

0:12:13 > 0:12:19penalty advantage, they have scored tries through him. I think he will

0:12:19 > 0:12:26be a really big loss.What about these giants in the centre.From a

0:12:26 > 0:12:30Welsh point of view, pick Jamie Roberts. Big man in midfield for the

0:12:30 > 0:12:39defence. They are threats. Great foot work as well as off-loads.

0:12:39 > 0:12:46Wales has a new expansive game in attack. They have to be on the ball

0:12:46 > 0:12:50defensively or you will be embarrassed today.Never mind in

0:12:50 > 0:12:55defence, going forward they will be a formidable force. Foley, against

0:12:55 > 0:13:01Wales, he was the playmaker, the match winnerHe's one of the best

0:13:01 > 0:13:06fly-half displays I've seen. Stunning. Watching Australia, he has

0:13:06 > 0:13:11taken it to the line quite a bit. Sean will be highlighting he's a

0:13:11 > 0:13:20player we need to nullified. It's extremely difficult to defend.

0:13:20 > 0:13:25Getting forward will be key.On defence line-outs they put him in

0:13:25 > 0:13:27the five meter channel.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29defence line-outs they put him in the five meter channel. He makes the

0:13:29 > 0:13:33tackle. Foley, they keep Foley fresh for when they turnover the ball.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37Foley is ready to play. He's fresh and ready to look up and take

0:13:37 > 0:13:42opportunities. We can see that. That is beautifully illustrated there. I

0:13:42 > 0:13:47think we have a graphic here about the number of tries that Wales and

0:13:47 > 0:13:52Australia have scored in their last 10 matches. You know the opposition

0:13:52 > 0:13:56is different, for a start. The playing conditions and weather is

0:13:56 > 0:14:00different. Notwithstanding that Australia score tries by the bucket

0:14:00 > 0:14:03load, don't they? It doesn't matter how many they will concede they will

0:14:03 > 0:14:08score an awful lot themselves? Something Australian rugby has

0:14:08 > 0:14:11prided itself over the years. Something the fans like to see and

0:14:11 > 0:14:17what we try to do. We play ball in hand. The assistant coach for the

0:14:17 > 0:14:20wallabies is one of the best attacking brains I've workeds with a

0:14:20 > 0:14:24a player. He can set up three, four phase plays to get the team over the

0:14:24 > 0:14:28line. It's something that they like to do. If you look at the guys in

0:14:28 > 0:14:32the team sheet, they are just try scorers all the way through.

0:14:32 > 0:14:39Coleman, in the second row. He's a late developer?He has been that

0:14:39 > 0:14:46rock. The only one that's been that solid guy there the whole time. He

0:14:46 > 0:14:54brings that physical edge out of his locks. He had have a tough test

0:14:54 > 0:14:56today. He stepped up to every opportunity

0:14:56 > 0:15:05that's presented itself so far.On match day on Cardiff no room at any

0:15:05 > 0:15:12of the inns. It's lively in town. Colourful, predominantly red. It

0:15:12 > 0:15:13will be passionate and fiery once kick-off

0:15:13 > 0:15:16will be passionate and fiery once kick-off comes. There is something

0:15:16 > 0:15:20in the air about Wales when they play at home for the first match of

0:15:20 > 0:15:24an Autumn Series. For a long time now, it hasn't produced a victory.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28As you can see, going back to a game

0:15:28 > 0:15:30As you can see, going back to a game against Romania in 2002 Wales have

0:15:30 > 0:15:34not won their opening match in an Autumn Series. Certainly, as far as

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Warren Gatland is concerned today, he is not only battling the

0:15:38 > 0:15:39Australians, he's battling

0:15:39 > 0:15:41he is not only battling the Australians, he's battling history.

0:15:41 > 0:15:48Is back to the gay job. Good to be backReally excited. Had a couple of

0:15:48 > 0:15:52good weeks together. A few fresh faces in the squad. It's been good

0:15:52 > 0:15:56for them, great for them, new caps on the bench. Hopefully they get a

0:15:56 > 0:16:00run and a few guys get their first chance to play at home.A very

0:16:00 > 0:16:04different looking Wales side. Owen Williams, a play maker at 12.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07Something you haven't gone for in recent past. What is the

0:16:07 > 0:16:11significance of that?Yeah. Looking at the size of the Australian team,

0:16:11 > 0:16:15you know they are massive. Fibbing particularly their backline. Do we

0:16:15 > 0:16:20need someone more physical in that midfield? For us, everyone is

0:16:20 > 0:16:23talking about two years countdown to the World Cup and being able to

0:16:23 > 0:16:28adapt and play different styles. We are looking to look at that

0:16:28 > 0:16:31playmaker. Perhaps in the past we didn't have the personnel to be able

0:16:31 > 0:16:36to look oot that. Perhaps going to back to gaffe run he fulfilled that

0:16:36 > 0:16:46role. An opportunity in this campaign to see how we go using goal

0:16:46 > 0:16:52player. -- Gavin. Josh, it's a great opportunity for him. He has done

0:16:52 > 0:16:56well for the Blues in the last couple of years. He can play across

0:16:56 > 0:17:02the back row. Very strong ball carer why. The message to Steff do what he

0:17:02 > 0:17:07has been could doing for the Skarths. We want hands on the ball,

0:17:07 > 0:17:10touches and great foot work and hopefully he can excite the crowd.

0:17:10 > 0:17:18Best of luck.Thank you.Steff Evans, we are talking about giants

0:17:18 > 0:17:22playing for Australia, he's got 14 stone 9 as his weight. That might be

0:17:22 > 0:17:26generous. He's electric at the moment, Martin?He is. For the last

0:17:26 > 0:17:3218 months he has been superb for the Scarlets. His foot work and genuine

0:17:32 > 0:17:39speed. He is given freedom to roam and pops up. He doesn't wait for the

0:17:39 > 0:17:41ball to come for him.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43and pops up. He doesn't wait for the ball to come for him. He looks for

0:17:43 > 0:17:48the ball. Coming off the wing when you are tired, I don't want to put a

0:17:48 > 0:18:00tag on him. He remines me of Shane Williams.You want to give Steff the

0:18:00 > 0:18:04license to go to the touches on the ball. He plays as first receiver.

0:18:04 > 0:18:09That is what he can do. Dan Biggar, Owen Williams and Steff Evans can

0:18:09 > 0:18:14play first receiver and run at the Australian four. If they are given

0:18:14 > 0:18:20that license hopefully he can play that role.When we showed that

0:18:20 > 0:18:23statistic about the tries that Australia and Wales have scored,

0:18:23 > 0:18:24Owen Williams is a

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Australia and Wales have scored, Owen Williams is a key player. If

0:18:26 > 0:18:30Wales are going to score tries they need more ball players in the back

0:18:30 > 0:18:35division?Warren Gatland mentioned it. Gavin Henson, it's gone full

0:18:35 > 0:18:41circle. When Warren came in you had one of the best ball playing 12 that

0:18:41 > 0:18:47Wales had in Gavin Henson. He went off. He has done a superb job. Lot

0:18:47 > 0:18:51of expectation onnen Owen Williams. It will be difficult for him. He

0:18:51 > 0:18:56would never have played alongside Dan Biggar in a 10, 12 combination.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59His psychology and mental strength isn't a question. He loves the big

0:18:59 > 0:19:03stage. You can say. That he has given away three-and-a-half stone on

0:19:03 > 0:19:08his opposite number. Hopefully he can have plenty of ball in hand and

0:19:08 > 0:19:22will bring players into the game.He picked Jonny Sexton. He has

0:19:22 > 0:19:27converted to this way of playing. It's the first venture into this

0:19:27 > 0:19:32now, isn't it?A lot of people will be thinking. Somebody 17 stone,

0:19:32 > 0:19:37somebody 14 stone. He is running at him. How do does he stop him?

0:19:37 > 0:19:45It's... Something like Owen Williams has been playing 10 at top level. He

0:19:45 > 0:19:48will have no problem with big guys running down his channel. He is used

0:19:48 > 0:19:53to that. He is a tough competitor. I saw him train and the way he implied

0:19:53 > 0:19:56himself impressed me. He is a good athlete.

0:19:56 > 0:20:02He will surprise people today. He has a fantastic chance. He has the

0:20:02 > 0:20:06credentials to do the job.His experience. He left Scarlets and

0:20:06 > 0:20:10went to Leicester and established himself there. Now he's gone to

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Gloucester and is establishing himself. It shows he has something

0:20:12 > 0:20:16about him. He arrives here with a lot more experience than people

0:20:16 > 0:20:22probably give him credit for.A quick word about Navidi.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25You are not playing, a big opportunity for him. The back row

0:20:25 > 0:20:30will be a key area today?I think the back row might have dominance

0:20:30 > 0:20:35today. Shingler has been fantastic. Navidi might think it's an unusual

0:20:35 > 0:20:39selection. He has been one of the Blues best players for the last few

0:21:02 > 0:21:08expect this to be?I think it will be a high scoring game. I think... I

0:21:08 > 0:21:13see the shift at the moment. A lot of teams feel they need to score

0:21:13 > 0:21:19tries. They need hard kicks at goal, they go to the corner and trying to

0:21:19 > 0:21:22score, or they are trying to score off the next play. It will be a high

0:21:22 > 0:21:27scoring game.From a Welsh point of view they have to start well. Going

0:21:27 > 0:21:32back to 12 months. Within 10 minutes they were 14 points down. Took the

0:21:32 > 0:21:35life out of the stadium. No atmosphere. They need a huge start

0:21:35 > 0:21:38to give the younger players confidence.How much is today and

0:21:38 > 0:21:44the next few weeks about results or is it about performance?It's always

0:21:44 > 0:21:48about results. Particularly with Wales. Three wins out of four. That

0:21:48 > 0:21:52will be the aim again. It's tough Autumn this year around. To progress

0:21:52 > 0:21:56as a team you need to get three out of four. It's a big ask. That is

0:21:56 > 0:21:59what Wales have to aim for.How much is today, we have ebbing secretarien

0:31:01 > 0:31:05Michael Jack, Australia's Kochi has rebuilt and transformed the fortunes

0:31:05 > 0:31:09of this Wallabies side in the last ten months. Stephen Clarke in front

0:31:09 > 0:31:15of him. What a player he was. Bernard Bowley, the latest to number

0:31:15 > 0:31:2012 shirt. Good evening, good afternoon, Jonathan.Good afternoon.

0:31:20 > 0:31:25I am looking forward to this. Australia rejuvenated unfortunately

0:31:25 > 0:31:29for us Welsh but we are all looking forward to the style Wales will

0:31:29 > 0:31:34adopt.The referee starts the game.

0:31:38 > 0:31:48And Australia drive hard away from their 22. Pushed on from Genia. Dan

0:31:48 > 0:31:56Biggar heading back, as he so often does. Gareth Davies, the scrum-half.

0:31:56 > 0:32:04Josh Navidi, his first home start for Wales. As Davies get away from

0:32:04 > 0:32:11the clutches of Symonds in the second row. Navidi again, Owain

0:32:11 > 0:32:18Williams, first touch. Did that come off volatile? The referee says it

0:32:18 > 0:32:27does. Good evening.Good evening to you. A great place to play rugby and

0:32:27 > 0:32:31an interesting start from the Wallabies. The Welsh will have

0:32:31 > 0:32:35thought they would try to pay two phases and go up and under. This

0:32:35 > 0:32:39will be a very interesting test match.The problem for the Welsh is

0:32:39 > 0:32:43that you Australians like playing here.We do.We have a great record

0:32:43 > 0:32:50here. There will be expectation of every ball but they made easy hard

0:32:50 > 0:32:55yardage up the front. Set up an early kick for Foley and then Wales

0:32:55 > 0:32:59at the best opportunity, they created the overlap but the

0:32:59 > 0:33:09execution was poor.Genia in the scrum but Foley, and that could be

0:33:09 > 0:33:24the theme of the evening. Meanwhile, Scott Sio and here is borrow city.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26An interesting first phase move there from the Wallabies. Trying to

0:33:26 > 0:33:32get over and a bit flat, so weren't able to execute. You could see what

0:33:32 > 0:33:35they tried to do as they attacked the Welsh front row on the short

0:33:35 > 0:33:46side.Kim Owens. The first line-out. Taken by Scott Sio. It won't count

0:33:46 > 0:33:51here because it has gone forward. Referee playing an advantage to

0:33:51 > 0:33:55Wales. Still advantage being played.

0:34:02 > 0:34:12Cleared. Advantage over.Yes, I think it was a good job but

0:34:12 > 0:34:19unfortunately he just loses the ball and very fortunate there was a

0:34:19 > 0:34:23knock-on for the Australians. Excellent pressure at the line-out

0:34:23 > 0:34:27from the Wallabies though. Not allowing Wales to exit easily and a

0:34:27 > 0:34:34big opportunity here for the Wallabies.Polota-Nau, who is going

0:34:34 > 0:34:39to join the Leicester Tigers after the tour.Not straight. But they are

0:34:39 > 0:34:43a tough one, those ones. The first real attacking line-out opportunity.

0:34:43 > 0:34:50I know the Wallabies love playing of the line-out and not quite straight

0:34:50 > 0:34:53therefore Polota-Nau but I'm sure he will be trying to make it up in the

0:34:53 > 0:34:55scrum.

0:34:59 > 0:35:14Thomas Francis against Scott Sio. Penalty to Wales.

0:35:19 > 0:35:23Yes, I think he has got Scott Sio there, he hasn't painted a good

0:35:23 > 0:35:27picture to the referee on that side and whether he was in the right or

0:35:27 > 0:35:31wrong, the picture doesn't look good to Glen Jackson and he has an easy

0:35:31 > 0:35:37decision to make.Wales will be very happy. First to knock-on, line-out

0:35:37 > 0:35:40and now the penalty which relieves so much pressure. Now when

0:35:40 > 0:35:45opportunity for them to attack. Aaron Shingler the target again.

0:35:45 > 0:35:53This time it finds Gareth Davies. Volatile knocks on in midfield.

0:35:53 > 0:36:01First touch. Evans who immediately give that back.

0:36:08 > 0:36:13Foley, was that... Two passes looked a little forward. Take it up to

0:36:13 > 0:36:15halfway.

0:36:18 > 0:36:27Kurtley Beale, the captain. Michael Hooper tackled by his opposite

0:36:27 > 0:36:34number, Navidi. Wales now trying to hold him up but the hooker goes

0:36:34 > 0:36:42safely to ground. Hanigan and there is a little but of juggling and he

0:36:42 > 0:36:45eventually gets himself into a good position.

0:36:49 > 0:36:55Australia still around the halfway mark. Adam Coleman on the halfway

0:36:55 > 0:36:55mark.

0:37:02 > 0:37:11Kepu getting it to Foley. Navidi just loses out to Beale who knocks

0:37:11 > 0:37:19on. It's gone loose again. Advantage being played. Biggar drills one into

0:37:19 > 0:37:26the 22. Well read, Reece Hodge. He took his time and danger for Foley.

0:37:26 > 0:37:31Steph Evans can't make the tackle and Bowley gets the ball away.

0:37:31 > 0:37:39Herons caring staff.You have to say, you have to applaud the Welsh

0:37:39 > 0:37:45line speed. A lot of position and great speed. This guy Foley, the

0:37:45 > 0:37:50pace on the path and everyone is running of him. This is the kick by

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Biggar. Brilliant chased by Liam Williams but again, it favoured

0:37:53 > 0:38:01Australia.Yes, I think the line speed from the Welsh is putting

0:38:01 > 0:38:05Australia under a lot of pressure. Probably not what they are used to

0:38:05 > 0:38:08in the southern hemisphere. Teams don't come off the line as

0:38:08 > 0:38:11aggressively as they do up here in the northern hemisphere. That is a

0:38:11 > 0:38:15ploy from the Welsh to get up the line hard and rattle the Wallabies

0:38:15 > 0:38:19and try to put them under pressure. Here is Reece Hodge with the charge

0:38:19 > 0:38:30down kick.It is a difficult bounce. No one is expecting it and Bowley is

0:38:30 > 0:38:34bad. I think there might be a shortened line-out from Wales, there

0:38:34 > 0:38:40was previously, and without your Jamie Roberts, without your George

0:38:40 > 0:38:46North, you need good carry. I expect the line-out to be shortened and a

0:38:46 > 0:38:50couple of back row was to throw it out.We are pausing whilst there is

0:38:50 > 0:39:01attention to Rob Simmonds.

0:39:02 > 0:39:16Welsh throw run by -- one by Evans. And they run into the brick wall

0:39:16 > 0:39:20that is Kerevi. Advantage being played in Wales's favour. Steph

0:39:20 > 0:39:30Evans coming off his wing, looking for work.There he was, volatile

0:39:30 > 0:39:37taking the ball off, but I hope for his sake he had a couple there.

0:39:37 > 0:39:40Having played in the northern hemisphere, James, is the breakdown

0:39:40 > 0:39:45much more competitive in the northern hemisphere?I think the use

0:39:45 > 0:39:49of the second player to try to hold the ball up and attack is the second

0:39:49 > 0:39:53man is a big focus for all the teams appear. You can see that. The Welsh

0:39:53 > 0:39:57doing it. What it is doing is making the Wallabies commit an extra couple

0:39:57 > 0:40:01of numbers which they are not used to. They gave away a cheap easy

0:40:01 > 0:40:06penalty that in front of the sticks which you would imagine will be

0:40:06 > 0:40:09three points here.Worth reminding everyone James is still plying his

0:40:09 > 0:40:13trade with the Harlequins.Yes, still plying my trade with the

0:40:13 > 0:40:16Harlequins so really enjoying my time here and playing a different

0:40:16 > 0:40:25style of rugby.Yes, he is not ready to retire yet.Leigh Halfpenny lines

0:40:25 > 0:40:28up his first kick at goal.

0:40:49 > 0:40:56CHEERING The crowd that it all.

0:40:56 > 0:41:06Wales take the lead. 3-0. -- the crowd says it all. This time last

0:41:06 > 0:41:09year, Wales wherein all real trouble. Bernard Foley had stitched

0:41:09 > 0:41:17them with his inside passes after nine minutes, nearly. Well, they

0:41:17 > 0:41:27have weathered something. Taken the lead, so much better. Foley towards

0:41:27 > 0:41:34Steph Evans and Jonathan Davies. The player of the Lions series.

0:41:34 > 0:41:41Strikingly scrappy and Polota-Nau comes away with it. Australia on the

0:41:41 > 0:41:51front of it.Well, they will be very happy for that penalty. Straight

0:41:51 > 0:41:55into the side he came, number four. You just can't afford to do that

0:41:55 > 0:42:00against the top sides. Three points, they get a good retake and then they

0:42:00 > 0:42:05just mess it up. Just get the ball away.

0:42:10 > 0:42:18So, Australia have had their good positions. Just waiting for number

0:42:18 > 0:42:27four... It's not there, is it? It is Adam Coleman wearing number five.I

0:42:27 > 0:42:33don't think you could see him.I think it was the next phase.I think

0:42:33 > 0:42:41it was, yes.Free kick Australia.An early jump. That is the killer, to

0:42:41 > 0:42:48be in good position and give away a cheap line-out.At least this is a

0:42:48 > 0:42:53free kick, so Australia opt for the scrummage.An interesting call after

0:42:53 > 0:42:58they were beaten last time with Sio.

0:43:09 > 0:43:14Will Genia wears nine Australia.

0:43:20 > 0:43:25The scrum goes down in the front row. Play on says the referee.

0:43:25 > 0:43:33Kurtley Beale chased by Liam Williams. Leigh Halfpenny makes the

0:43:33 > 0:43:38tackle. Williams back as well. Play arms, says the referee. Coleman

0:43:38 > 0:43:51thumped back. Owen Wyn Jones with the tackle. Biggar tries to hold up

0:43:51 > 0:43:53the Australian captain.

0:43:59 > 0:44:04Steffan Evans has to play it. And have to take the ball out of play.

0:44:04 > 0:44:08That's a brilliant kick. The last thing Wales wanted was the ball to

0:44:08 > 0:44:12stay in. It just keeps the defence why does well and there was nothing

0:44:12 > 0:44:17else.It was a beautiful cake. Yes, the Wallabies are really daring up

0:44:17 > 0:44:23their way of attacking. I think it is keeping the Welsh on the back of

0:44:23 > 0:44:29it and not knowing what is coming at them.They realise the line speed is

0:44:29 > 0:44:35very good from Wales so variety is great.Hanigan with the catch. Here

0:44:35 > 0:44:38comes the drive and Australia have a clear advantage. Polota-Nau has the

0:44:38 > 0:44:47ball.They are over. That was too easy from a Welsh perspective.It is

0:44:47 > 0:44:52Polota-Nau with the opening try of the game.Yes, a great setup from

0:44:52 > 0:44:56the Wallabies. I think something the Welsh probably weren't expecting.

0:44:56 > 0:45:01Australia, we are talking about using wits and they have gone Route

0:45:01 > 0:45:04one, great setup and Polota-Nau gets it back there. They get bodies in

0:45:04 > 0:45:08front of the ball and it's very hard to stop when you lose men behind the

0:45:08 > 0:45:12ball like a Wales did, for guys taken out by one man, and it's very

0:45:12 > 0:45:19hard to stop their without infringing. Great setup by the

0:45:19 > 0:45:26Wallabies, they get five points and probably seven to come with Bernard

0:45:26 > 0:45:30Bowley kicking.I think they scored exactly the same trial last year. If

0:45:30 > 0:45:36I remember correctly, that is. From a Welsh perspective, they rolled to

0:45:36 > 0:45:41the left and left format players behind. A good response from the

0:45:41 > 0:45:47Australians. -- left four players behind.

0:45:51 > 0:46:02Bernard Foley from the ground level camera. We call it cart camp. The

0:46:02 > 0:46:06kick is good. Wales three, Australia seven.

0:46:16 > 0:46:21Australia's hooker, last in the maul, first to the ground. A change

0:46:21 > 0:46:28of direction from Trigger. Michael Hooper waits and catches. Tackled by

0:46:28 > 0:46:40Rob Evans.A little bit too far, that kick. An easy catch.Bowley

0:46:40 > 0:46:50goes high. Leigh Halfpenny takes it well. Tackled by Hooper.

0:46:53 > 0:46:59Rob Evans is back in the game, he had been out for a while.

0:47:08 > 0:47:19The dancing footwork of Steph Evans. Yes, he offers something different.

0:47:19 > 0:47:25Jonathan Davies makes ground. Leon Williams in support. Foley tackles

0:47:25 > 0:47:30back. Wales on the attack. Jonathan Davies and Gareth Davies and

0:47:30 > 0:47:37Jonathan Davies just get in each other's way there. They will be

0:47:37 > 0:47:41happy with that, not with the knock-on but watch this. One wide

0:47:41 > 0:47:45pass, two white passes, now a defence, the winger comes in which

0:47:45 > 0:47:50allows them to make the break. A great position to attack and there

0:47:50 > 0:48:00is the knock-on. But the value as well of Owen Williams in the team.I

0:48:00 > 0:48:06think something that is quite interesting and in stark contrast to

0:48:06 > 0:48:11what the Welsh are doing, the Wallabies at committing anyone else

0:48:11 > 0:48:16to the tackles. They are trying to keep people on their feet because

0:48:16 > 0:48:20they are probably aware the Welsh are using the ball more than they

0:48:20 > 0:48:29have previously.A rock-solid scrum for the Wallabies. Kuridrani runs at

0:48:29 > 0:48:42up hard. Just makes life a bit easier for Foley.If you have the

0:48:42 > 0:48:46big man on your outside, just take it in, please, make it easier for

0:48:46 > 0:48:57the handoff. That is a great hit. Kavita Kuridrani. Alun Wyn Jones

0:48:57 > 0:49:03feeds Davies and Davies is off. Reece Hodge covers back, Davies beat

0:49:03 > 0:49:10them. Excellent covering tackle by their hooker, Pollard town now --

0:49:10 > 0:49:18Polota-Nau. It is three on one. Lien Williams, Leigh Steph Evans is over

0:49:18 > 0:49:28and ground the ball.That is a brilliant try by Wales. Good

0:49:28 > 0:49:34execution and that's what we wanted to see. The contribution of the

0:49:34 > 0:49:41midfield in there. A very good finish. He got the ball down. A

0:49:41 > 0:49:48lovely couple of passes in there. He engaged the defenders. Watch this.

0:49:48 > 0:49:50It's a lovely break which attracts all the Australian cover towards

0:49:50 > 0:49:57that corner. Wyn Jones does a fantastic job, start the turnover

0:49:57 > 0:50:01and that is the pass. They keep their shape, they keep their depth

0:50:01 > 0:50:09and that is a good finish as well. Yes, I think you can see it all came

0:50:09 > 0:50:14from that fraction ball at the line-out. It wasn't a clean take.

0:50:14 > 0:50:17The Wallabies pushed through and then Gareth Davies was able to get

0:50:17 > 0:50:21tough on the back foot and from there you can see the Welsh, it's a

0:50:21 > 0:50:29great finish in his best home test, so a great first try for Wales.And

0:50:29 > 0:50:41a great touch from Jake Ball there.

0:50:44 > 0:50:58Halfpenny, beautifully struck. Wales retake the lead.There he is, Stef

0:50:58 > 0:51:07Evans.It was a good finish from Stef Evans. Having had an overlap,

0:51:07 > 0:51:12Wales then had two defenders on the last run-up.That is what you try to

0:51:12 > 0:51:19do really. You try to give it a bit of wit.Donna Ben Davies up to the

0:51:19 > 0:51:2522 with a little role beyond the 22. Jonathan Davies.

0:51:35 > 0:51:39Oh, and again. From the kick-off. The difference at the moment is that

0:51:39 > 0:51:44the Australian side are calm. On two occasions now they have put

0:51:44 > 0:51:51themselves under pressure after some great play.You can see here, great

0:51:51 > 0:51:59contact from Polota-Nau. Dislodges the ball, as a second man, and they

0:51:59 > 0:52:03look under pressure, the Welsh exiting their half and a couple of

0:52:03 > 0:52:07scrappy moments, though a good opportunity for Australia now.A

0:52:07 > 0:52:12good hit though, wasn't it?The Australian hooker has been

0:52:12 > 0:52:21everywhere. Gareth Davies sent back. The Welsh halfbacks make the tackle

0:52:21 > 0:52:28on Kuridrani. Switch of play.

0:52:45 > 0:52:50Wales don't commit too many players there. Genia tries to squeeze

0:52:50 > 0:53:09through. Sio takes it forward. Hanigan held up by Aaron Shingler.

0:53:20 > 0:53:26Foley not quite able to get the ball away. It is back with Foley. It was

0:53:26 > 0:53:30Kurtley Beale who couldn't quite free his hands there. Jake Ball sent

0:53:30 > 0:53:37back. It has gone forward. It has gone backwards, said the referee.

0:53:37 > 0:53:41Yes, the ball was in no man's land and the Welsh attacked it, so no

0:53:41 > 0:53:54knock-on.Beale, a good tackle on him by volatile. Halfpenny plays

0:53:54 > 0:54:03football and it is still in play. Koroibete and the wriggle for the

0:54:03 > 0:54:11line. Wales defend desperately, and it is there for Coleman to school.

0:54:11 > 0:54:18Great patients from the Wallabies. Interesting build-up, the bounce of

0:54:18 > 0:54:24the ball. It shows what it can do. That was a great piece of play from

0:54:24 > 0:54:30both sides. The variety of the attack, a little kick. It's a

0:54:30 > 0:54:36brilliant chase, anyone's ball. They react to it, Koroibete gets it, no

0:54:36 > 0:54:41panic. Watch this pass. Patients, patients and he just picks the

0:54:41 > 0:54:47run-up. They go close and there you go, second man in.Brilliant finish.

0:54:47 > 0:54:51That is what will Genia brings to your team. He has got the vision to

0:54:51 > 0:54:55see the runners coming from the outside. All the Welsh eyes towards

0:54:55 > 0:55:04the nine and can't see the guys on the outside.Unfortunately it is Rob

0:55:04 > 0:55:10Evans, idiot his blind shoulder and it is a walk-in.I was just watching

0:55:10 > 0:55:19Leigh Halfpenny because he stayed down for a moment after collision.

0:55:19 > 0:55:24He was back on his feet but he is receiving attention. He is back on

0:55:24 > 0:55:29his feet now. Bernard Foley prepares.

0:55:39 > 0:55:43It is good and we have another change of lead.Wales town,

0:55:43 > 0:55:51Australia 14. Just watch this pass. Just watch Rob Erin 's,

0:55:51 > 0:55:55unfortunately. -- Rob Evans, unfortunately he is caught by

0:55:55 > 0:56:02Kuridrani 's's run and then it is a great finish.

0:56:07 > 0:56:14Michael Hooper again, this time outside his 22.

0:56:21 > 0:56:28Long, back to Hodge. Biggar and Halfpenny together, planning their

0:56:28 > 0:56:39next move. Halfpenny chases Biggar's kick.Dangerous.Hodge, this time,

0:56:39 > 0:56:48Rob Evans successful with the tackle. Jonathan Davies rushes up.

0:56:48 > 0:56:54And Australia do have to commit forwards.There is an opportunity to

0:56:54 > 0:57:04go wide here.

0:57:13 > 0:57:21Well taken, Kurtley Beale. Hanigan signals a little dummy.Halfpenny

0:57:21 > 0:57:28watches it. And that is the difference. As the boys said in the

0:57:28 > 0:57:31studio, you have got three first receivers there. If someone is

0:57:31 > 0:57:38caught out, another boy steps in. It is all about the decision-making.

0:57:38 > 0:57:43There are 25 minutes gone, tackles made, 23 by Australia, 53 by Wales.

0:57:43 > 0:57:53That is going to tire them.Shingler to Gareth Davies and again, Wales

0:57:53 > 0:57:58make a mistake. In a good position for Australia.You can see that

0:57:58 > 0:58:02Wales are trying to play quick tempo from the line-out, not stay in the

0:58:02 > 0:58:07rain 22 to match, go quick of the line-out, pressure at the back, look

0:58:07 > 0:58:11for the blade, it is not on and knock-on. They have put themselves

0:58:11 > 0:58:17under pressure again in their own 22 with a scrum for Australia.You can

0:58:17 > 0:58:22see the past there but as a player at this level at this stage in the

0:58:22 > 0:58:28game, you just throw the pass. It is easier when you are sat up here, but

0:58:28 > 0:58:31on the few occasions when they have tried to clear their lines, they

0:58:31 > 0:58:35have made errors and put themselves under pressure. That is another

0:58:35 > 0:58:38opportunity now for Australia.

0:58:43 > 0:58:49Is that Coleman down, James?Yes, Adam Coleman. Roadblocks have

0:58:49 > 0:58:54received a bit of treatment today. Hopefully he is OK -- both locks

0:58:54 > 0:59:01have received a bit of treatment today. Hopefully he is OK. He has

0:59:01 > 0:59:05had a bit of treatment today and this season, but hopefully he is OK.

0:59:05 > 0:59:10Looks like a bang to the leg.I think you took a bang to the

0:59:10 > 0:59:20undercarriage. Taking a breather, I think he is.Australia's first try

0:59:20 > 0:59:26through their hooker.The way he is walking, he has definitely taken a

0:59:26 > 0:59:38knock there.Wales, Stef Evans. Australia, Adam Coleman. Attacking

0:59:38 > 0:59:44position, Australia. We are back live. We'll Genia to feed. -- will

0:59:44 > 0:59:46Genia to feed.

0:59:55 > 1:00:01Wales stop the direct charge and it has come loose. Dan Biggar steals it

1:00:01 > 1:00:10and Wales had the penalty.Great defence again.

1:00:17 > 1:00:20A big collision there in the midfield and you could see when the

1:00:20 > 1:00:24maul was caught by the referee, he was pushing to get his hand that and

1:00:24 > 1:00:29in the process of doing so, he lost the ball forward and a bit of a

1:00:29 > 1:00:34silly penalty to relieve the pressure, so the Welsh are able to

1:00:34 > 1:00:43exert their lands -- line quite easily here.Dan Biggar up to the 50

1:00:43 > 1:00:49metre line.Very difficult. You need to hold your own line and if there

1:00:49 > 1:00:51were any questions over Owen Williams, he certainly stood up

1:00:51 > 1:01:07there.He did. Alan Power this time. The change of tactics. Genia has

1:01:07 > 1:01:11shadowed him.That is brilliant play, absolutely brilliant play from

1:01:11 > 1:01:18a world-class player. He is sweeping behind, which is his job. Top speed

1:01:18 > 1:01:26and just the ability to kick it with his left foot.

1:01:26 > 1:01:38Wales through Aaron Shingler. Gareth Davies. Takes on Hooper. Gareth

1:01:38 > 1:01:51Davies to Reece Hodge. Infield Kurtley Beale. The tackle, and

1:01:51 > 1:01:59penalty.I think you hear Alun Wyn Jones talking to the referee about

1:01:59 > 1:02:02the Australian players arriving over the breakdown and sealing off the

1:02:02 > 1:02:11ball. Maybe he put a little bit of a thought in Glenn Jackson's head. He

1:02:11 > 1:02:20has seen the picture.Working his way into the referee's mind.

1:02:25 > 1:02:32Alun Wyn Jones takes it, under pressure from Coleman. Davies.

1:02:32 > 1:02:37Outside half position. Liam Williams into midfield. Slowish ball, but

1:02:37 > 1:02:43it's a free-kick for Wales.This will be interesting, whether it's...

1:02:43 > 1:02:50They have to go for a scrummage, I think. I have to say, great defence

1:02:50 > 1:02:55from both sides. They are both trying to create things. Even from

1:02:55 > 1:03:02set-piece, runners. Coming off the ball, giving him options.Liam

1:03:02 > 1:03:06Williams having treatment. It's a good position for a scrum. He's on

1:03:06 > 1:03:17that side of the field. They might be tempted by this gap on the near

1:03:17 > 1:03:22There has been side.Big collisions in this game, hasn't there? Both

1:03:22 > 1:03:28teams are taking it to each other. A great Test match so far. About 30

1:03:28 > 1:03:31minutes gone. Both teams are knocking some sense into each other.

1:03:31 > 1:03:37It's great to say.It's been such an open, fast game. The intensy and the

1:03:37 > 1:03:40collision has been tremendous. The last 10 minutes of the first half,

1:03:40 > 1:03:58there will be tired bodies out there. There he is Denis Gethin.

1:03:58 > 1:04:05Liam Williams has gone and stood directly behind this scrummage.

1:04:05 > 1:04:15There he is.You don't get much time to recover these days, do you? You

1:04:15 > 1:04:24might be taking this next one in, son.Liam Williams, no longer a

1:04:24 > 1:04:29Scarlet, playing for the Saracens up in London. Here's Gareth Davies, who

1:04:29 > 1:04:39is a Scarlet, and playing very well for the Saracens. Just listen to

1:04:39 > 1:04:47what he's going to say.Now it's your ball.

1:05:14 > 1:05:23Just moves a little bit. Australia get the penalty. Tomas Francis

1:05:23 > 1:05:34singled out. Oh...Hang on, hang on. Nasty faces coming up.

1:05:35 > 1:05:39Yeah, I think the last few scrums we have seen Tomas Francis looking to

1:05:39 > 1:05:45angle in towards the hooker there. Scott Sio stayed on the outside.

1:05:45 > 1:05:49Referees nowadays want them to scrummage square. If it looks like

1:05:49 > 1:05:54an angle being taken, it paints a bad picture to the referee. Great

1:05:54 > 1:05:59result for Australia. Easy exit. Releaves some pressure, now on to a

1:05:59 > 1:06:04line-out around halfway. It's a good Test match. The only difference at

1:06:04 > 1:06:08the moment is Wales have conceded penalties in the attacking area and

1:06:08 > 1:06:22mistakes in their own area.Coleman then by Will Genia. Sio.

1:06:25 > 1:06:32Foley. Up into the mist we have at the top of the stadium. Liam

1:06:32 > 1:06:35Williams has supported from Navidi. He does well to stay infield. Play

1:06:35 > 1:06:40on says the referee.Very well.But then the penalty.He's consistent,

1:06:40 > 1:06:45isn't he. That is all you want from play from the referee is

1:06:45 > 1:06:50consistency. That is what he's done. Australia, if it slow ball, nothing

1:06:50 > 1:06:55on. They clear their lines. They give possession away and put the

1:06:55 > 1:07:03opposition under pressure. Wales have made too many errors.It's a

1:07:03 > 1:07:09long shot, but Reece Hodge says it's within my range.Definitely. He put

1:07:09 > 1:07:14one over earlier in the year from about 55. Distance shouldn't be an

1:07:14 > 1:07:21issue here for him. He was even putting them on near 60 meters.Josh

1:07:21 > 1:07:26Navidi did well to keep the ball alive, but then just held on -Sean

1:07:26 > 1:07:30McMahon was all over him. No support. He was put in a difficult

1:07:30 > 1:07:36position by a loose pass, again. If they can cut their errors out they

1:07:36 > 1:07:41could be a lot better in the second-half.

1:07:49 > 1:07:55Well, it looks a long shot at goal, but just to think back to the day

1:07:55 > 1:08:01when one was put over from 20 yards further than this.

1:08:04 > 1:08:10Oh! He's certainly got the legs. That hes a a hell of a quick kick.

1:08:10 > 1:08:14That is a great kick by Reece Hodge. Amazing from Reece. Nice to have a

1:08:14 > 1:08:19person like that in your team, so you know when you are under

1:08:19 > 1:08:26pressure, he can knock one over from 50 meters plus.Beautiful strike. As

1:08:26 > 1:08:33soon as he struck it, he knew it was over. He was off.Wales immediately

1:08:33 > 1:08:42back into the action. Successful restart from them. Rob Evans, Dan

1:08:42 > 1:08:52Biggar Owen Williams.

1:08:55 > 1:09:02Being swept up. Foley says, let's just get out of our 22.The only

1:09:02 > 1:09:05difference at the moment is composure. That's all it is. You

1:09:05 > 1:09:09don't have to score on every time you have the ball. Just build the

1:09:09 > 1:09:17phases, build the pressure, keep your composure.

1:09:21 > 1:09:25Alun Wyn Jones has done a lot of lifting in the line-out. This time

1:09:25 > 1:09:30he goes up for the ball, and wins it. He hands it down to Navidi, who

1:09:30 > 1:09:36passes well to Liam Williams. Penalty advantage, Wales. Jonathan

1:09:36 > 1:09:45Davies to Aaron Shingler. The penalty gets even easier as they are

1:09:45 > 1:09:55marched back.That must have been a call.It has to be. The Wallabies

1:09:55 > 1:09:57are putting the Welsh under pressure for the deliveries. Interesting to

1:09:57 > 1:10:06see. The line-out has been hotly contested. It's been great to watch.

1:10:06 > 1:10:12Dan Biggar and the captain have words.You don't see that peat

1:10:12 > 1:10:15penalty very often, do you? They usually come up... Watch. They come

1:10:15 > 1:10:27up. He's gone against Hooper, he's so sorry.Touch on the fireside.

1:10:27 > 1:10:34Assistant referee, Eddie, come on now!I beg his pardon.

1:10:45 > 1:10:49Leigh Halfpenny is fully recovered.

1:11:00 > 1:11:06All the little routines of a master at work.

1:11:13 > 1:11:19All the little routines in training that make the kicking process easier

1:11:19 > 1:11:28on the day. Wales 13, Australia 17.

1:11:30 > 1:11:40Right, big restart here. Catch it, clear it - half time.Foley, has he

1:11:40 > 1:11:43changed the call to his forwards? He normally heads towards Jonathan

1:11:43 > 1:11:48Davies in the 22. He's having to look the o other way. No, he's going

1:11:48 > 1:11:55right. Same target. And why not? It's worked for Australiaing so far.

1:11:55 > 1:12:01Jonathan Davies, Steff Evans. -- Australia. That's strange, Foley.

1:12:01 > 1:12:08Dive past from Foley. Kerevi held up for the moment. Wales have turned it

1:12:08 > 1:12:18over. Halfpenny, Steff Evans, beats one man. The other rap, Francis. Oh,

1:12:18 > 1:12:28so nearly released Steff Evans. -- half.Once there is a turnover or

1:12:28 > 1:12:33loose play it goes to two sets to hand.The spirit of Anthony Joshua

1:12:33 > 1:12:39lives on in the stadium?The difference is it won't be a punch on

1:12:39 > 1:12:48your head.It's probably just as well, given it was Dan Biggar

1:12:48 > 1:12:54against Coleman who is a meter higher.You know he won't hit you.

1:12:54 > 1:13:02In our day you would never do that. We are under way, again. Australia,

1:13:02 > 1:13:07try to set up the maul. Wales get it to ground. Again ya arrives to take

1:13:07 > 1:13:23control. McMahon.He's on his own, isolated.Rob Simmons. Owen Williams

1:13:23 > 1:13:30with the tackle. Read the danger well. Can't find Foley.

1:13:35 > 1:13:48It's there... It's gone loose. To Hanigan. Simmons. Shingler tries to

1:13:48 > 1:14:01hold him up. Simmons gets the ground. Kurtley Beale, Kerevi. The

1:14:01 > 1:14:05try scoring second row, Adam Coleman, not this time, but danger

1:14:05 > 1:14:12lurks. Kerevi, again. That's a terrific tackle on the giant centre,

1:14:12 > 1:14:23and another one on number eight, McMahon. Australia come through with

1:14:23 > 1:14:33a collective effort. Kicked back, he says - I'm not ready. Hanigan.

1:14:40 > 1:14:46Beale, overlap here. If Hooper can find Hodge. Hooper, is he short? Is

1:14:46 > 1:14:51he over? Try awarded.Again, brilliant finish, but where does it

1:14:51 > 1:14:56come from? It comes from a kick off where Jonathan Davies passes to

1:14:56 > 1:15:00Steff Evans and they don't clear their lines. That's all they had to

1:15:00 > 1:15:04do, is just clear their lines. Again, you cannot give this quality

1:15:04 > 1:15:16side possession in your own 22. Hooper has pace. Too much pace, gets

1:15:16 > 1:15:19the ball down on the line. Great finish from great build-up work from

1:15:19 > 1:15:24the Australian forwards.They are brilliant. He controls it. I'm not

1:15:24 > 1:15:29ready for it. He gives it to a forward. Take another one inward,

1:15:29 > 1:15:36McMahon. Then, when it's on, this is what happens. So, so clinical.

1:15:36 > 1:15:40That's a killer blow, just before half time.You hate getting those.

1:15:40 > 1:15:45We call them the kill zone. Ten minutes either side of half time.

1:15:45 > 1:15:51When you concede points after the 40th minute it's a tough one going

1:15:51 > 1:16:00into the sheds. Your heads are down. You know you are in for a big

1:16:00 > 1:16:04struggle that second-half, you need to score first.The Australian

1:16:04 > 1:16:07players gather around the halfway mark. They could walk off, really.

1:16:07 > 1:16:12It's going to be half time after this conversion.

1:16:27 > 1:16:35Foley is wide. The score at half time - Wales 13, Australia 22.

1:16:44 > 1:16:46Hugely entertaining start to this Autumn Series.

1:16:46 > 1:16:50How key is that try, just on the stroke of half going to be when we

1:16:50 > 1:16:55come to the final analysis. Steff Evans has been scoring tries week in

1:16:55 > 1:17:00and week out are for his district and in his game opening debut here

1:17:00 > 1:17:05at the Principality Stadium. He scored as well. That's the try from

1:17:05 > 1:17:09Hooper. With the clock in the red zone, that gives Australia a lead by

1:17:09 > 1:17:13a score and a bit at the half time interval. As we look at the match

1:17:13 > 1:17:18facts, one of the key things there. The tackle that is have to be made.

1:17:18 > 1:17:21Exactly three times as many that Wales have had to make than

1:17:21 > 1:17:27Australia. 90-30. The game hasn't felt as though Australia have had

1:17:27 > 1:17:31all that more possession. It's just that Wales, as Jonathan said towards

1:17:31 > 1:17:35the end of that analysis, at key areas in the game, in the Australian

1:17:35 > 1:17:3922, perhaps more importantly in their own 22, they made mistakes. As

1:17:39 > 1:17:43a consequence of which Australia are leading at half time for the 26th

1:17:43 > 1:17:45time in the last 28 times that the sides have met.

1:17:45 > 1:17:48time in the last 28 times that the sides have met. Sam, thoughts?I

1:17:48 > 1:17:53think me and Paul were chatting during the game then. I think where

1:17:53 > 1:17:56the Southern Hemisphere teams are strong is their front five. They

1:17:56 > 1:18:03have a lot of ball carriers. If you look at the statistics, the

1:18:03 > 1:18:07Australian front five are getting success. The Australian half-backs

1:18:07 > 1:18:12decide to strike when the iron is hot. The front five are being

1:18:12 > 1:18:16dominant when it comes to ball carrying.Wales haven't he helped

1:18:16 > 1:18:20themselves. So many good things from Wales. At key moments, exiting has

1:18:20 > 1:18:24been atrocious. Giving the ball back to Australia. You give them half a

1:18:24 > 1:18:27sniff and will put points on the board. That last try sucked the

1:18:27 > 1:18:31energy out of the whole Possession is important stadium., territory is

1:18:31 > 1:18:36important as well. A lot of the game is played down in the Welsh half and

1:18:36 > 1:18:41the Welsh 22. That is a combination of Wales mistakes and great kicking

1:18:41 > 1:18:47from the Australian We will talk side.About the Australian kicking

1:18:47 > 1:18:52not just Foley. The first try it like a dominoe effect. One thing

1:18:52 > 1:18:56leads to another, leads to another, leads to another. It's not just the

1:18:56 > 1:19:00try, it is what happens earlier? Miscommunication from Wales. One the

1:19:00 > 1:19:01first

1:19:01 > 1:19:03Miscommunication from Wales. One the first line-ups of the game you can

1:19:03 > 1:19:06see there is confusion there. Free-kick to Australia. First couple

1:19:06 > 1:19:10of minutes. Doesn't matter where they are. They decide for a scrum.

1:19:10 > 1:19:18Reece Hodge off his winger's first receiver. Go wide. Get widthth on

1:19:18 > 1:19:22it. Great defence from Halfpenny. The mixture, they go direct, they go

1:19:22 > 1:19:27hard, they use forwards. Not afraid to put the grubber in. Fantastic

1:19:27 > 1:19:33kick.Great weight on the kick. Making Steff Evans carry it out.

1:19:33 > 1:19:38Then it's just the brilliant maul try. I'm surprised he is stopping

1:19:38 > 1:19:44them winning at the tail. Jake Ball not going up. They win it easy. You

1:19:44 > 1:19:49expect Wales to smash it. It happens too easy. They walk it over and I've

1:19:49 > 1:19:56been coached by Sean Edwards before and conceded a maul try. They are in

1:19:56 > 1:20:02big trouble on Monday those Welsh boys too easy a try to score. Big

1:20:02 > 1:20:05psychological lift for Australia. What you can't do, particularly if

1:20:05 > 1:20:10you stay down, they can't go open. They can't go infield. Wales allowed

1:20:10 > 1:20:12them to go infield and made

1:20:12 > 1:20:12They can't go infield. Wales allowed them to go infield and made it

1:20:12 > 1:20:18difficult. They had three negative incidents. An exit they didn't get

1:20:18 > 1:20:20Ouattara miscommunication at the line-out and they didn't deal with

1:20:20 > 1:20:27the line-out. Three mistakes might lead to a try -Not an excuse,

1:20:27 > 1:20:31always Australia have been playing for weeks and weeks, this is Wales'

1:20:31 > 1:20:34first game together for a while. Is it little thing like that that make

1:20:34 > 1:20:41the difference?When you see that first line-out. Josh Navidi is the

1:20:41 > 1:20:47main man there. You can do so much in training. That is where you find

1:20:47 > 1:20:54out if you are on the hymn sheet.I thought it was a smart move the

1:20:54 > 1:20:59training team was on the Monday. You put your set-piece under pressure.

1:20:59 > 1:21:03Have you to replicate that in the first weeks of training.How much

1:21:03 > 1:21:07did Steff Evans try point towards a future for Wales playing in a

1:21:07 > 1:21:13different way?Wales in the past have an overlap, like Australia

1:21:13 > 1:21:14displayed -Shingler is

1:21:14 > 1:21:18have an overlap, like Australia displayed -Shingler is cute here.

1:21:18 > 1:21:22Allows Dave yes to get through.How many line breaks can we convert into

1:21:22 > 1:21:27tries. Times in the past Wales got a line back and you look at the tape

1:21:27 > 1:21:30and it hasn't been converted to the try. This is just great. Simple

1:21:30 > 1:21:34hands. How many times have Wales not taken this opportunity in the past.

1:21:34 > 1:21:40Good to see that. Great abgs ary from the lads in the background.

1:21:40 > 1:21:44Jake Ball was calm and collected there. Lovely pass to Owen Williams.

1:21:44 > 1:21:49He is in there to play ta distributing game.He's in there to

1:21:49 > 1:21:52distribute the ball like that. He's in there because he has a tackle

1:21:52 > 1:21:56against these huge men that are coming down his channel. One final

1:21:56 > 1:22:02run. Good finish as well.Really good finish. A little bit to do.

1:22:02 > 1:22:13Great step. That will give him confidence. The concern was for Owen

1:22:13 > 1:22:19was the big men coming towards him. He stood his ground.You associate

1:22:19 > 1:22:24forwards with runners, but the Australian centres have been won out

1:22:24 > 1:22:32an awful lot as well. Williams made his tackles. Biggar is excellent at

1:22:32 > 1:22:37that reef. Excellent turnover to get a penalty off this as well.We talk

1:22:37 > 1:22:38all the

1:22:38 > 1:22:40a penalty off this as well.We talk all the time about the try Somebody

1:22:40 > 1:22:44scores a try. Coleman scores the try. Again ya's pass was fantastic.

1:22:44 > 1:22:50He is long in the tooth, you might say, not as great as he was, as a

1:22:50 > 1:22:54general he's orchestrating things magnificently?Outstanding rugby

1:22:54 > 1:22:54general he's orchestrating things magnificently?Outstanding rugby

1:22:54 > 1:23:00player. Pulls the strings. Another variation. Not araid to put the ball

1:23:00 > 1:23:03in the 22. Watch the Wales defenders, the forwards in

1:23:03 > 1:23:08particular. They get transfixed with the ruck. The danger isn't the ruck.

1:23:08 > 1:23:17The danger are the 12 odd Aussies that will come down your line.

1:23:17 > 1:23:21Gareth Davies, Owens should get on the inside. Too late. That shows the

1:23:21 > 1:23:25pace of the game the Welsh aren't used to playing and the Australians

1:23:25 > 1:23:30are.Easy in opening field to defend. When two guys come to the

1:23:30 > 1:23:33line the decision has to be made. Two guys were brought to the line

1:23:33 > 1:23:36there. It wasn't read. Great play from Australia. You have to give

1:23:36 > 1:23:48them credit for that. After a few well orchestrated phases as well.

1:23:48 > 1:23:51You have been purring hop you Australian players have been

1:23:51 > 1:24:00orchestrating the game?If you you feel you can put the opposition

1:24:00 > 1:24:07under pressure. The Australians have a whole heap of kickers. We have

1:24:07 > 1:24:12seen Foley kicking fantastically well. This is Kurtley Beale kicking

1:24:12 > 1:24:19to the corner. Hanigan is a tall man. They put them under pressure.

1:24:19 > 1:24:23Great left legged king kick into the corner. Reece Hodge put up a kick as

1:24:23 > 1:24:29well. As a second row forward, when you have kickers to put you into the

1:24:29 > 1:24:31right half of the field it's a joy to play with.

1:24:31 > 1:24:35right half of the field it's a joy to play with.If you are in the

1:24:35 > 1:24:39Welsh team and are constantly going back it takes the life out of you

1:24:39 > 1:24:46when you are in the corners. Pressure on the hookers. Fantastic

1:24:46 > 1:24:50play from the Australia.Alun Wyn Jones, they are taking pressure off

1:24:50 > 1:24:55him. You have Jake Ball in the line-out who isn't as athletic as

1:24:55 > 1:24:59him. They have struggled at small bits of times in the line-out,

1:24:59 > 1:25:06Wales.A tactic from Australia. Wales historical like to keep the

1:25:06 > 1:25:10ball on the pitch, but Australia are happy to goer territory. People ask

1:25:10 > 1:25:15players, why do you kick the ball? Statistically the All Blacks kick

1:25:15 > 1:25:19the post. It shows how important it is to winning international rugby.

1:25:19 > 1:25:23We talk about the bench and what might happen in the second-half.

1:25:23 > 1:25:27Experience is a key element. Australia have 300 caps there abouts

1:25:27 > 1:25:34on their bench Wales have 30. How does that - how will that pan out in

1:25:34 > 1:25:37the last 20 minutes or so?The experienced Wales guy will have to

1:25:37 > 1:25:44stay on the pitch. They will be the key decision makers. Leon Brown and

1:25:44 > 1:25:47Sam Cross bring energy. They might not have the experience, they have

1:25:47 > 1:25:53to bring in the last 20 minutes is energy to get the Welsh boys over

1:25:53 > 1:26:00the finishing line.They haven't got any experience. Energy, that is what

1:26:00 > 1:26:05they need in last 20, like Sam said. Wales need to get on the scoreboard

1:26:05 > 1:26:08first in the start of the second-half.A hugely entertaining

1:26:08 > 1:26:14game here. Let us hope the second-half is just as good.

1:26:14 > 1:26:18Murrayfield this afternoon had a crazy match.

1:26:18 > 1:26:26Murrayfield this afternoon had a crazy match.

1:26:28 > 1:26:36COMMENTATOR: Little chip through. A big chase. Over the top. It's that

1:26:36 > 1:26:43man, Hogg. Devastating try by the Scots. Longer ball. Hogg skips it.

1:26:43 > 1:26:55To Jones. Jones, Jones! Oh, what a score. Is that's the off-load.

1:26:55 > 1:27:03Almost got there. In goes Fonotia. That's another try, I think. They

1:27:03 > 1:27:13all they think they've scored. Is that Fonotia, the big centre. Hogg.

1:27:13 > 1:27:23He gets involved in contact.

1:27:26 > 1:27:31A vital score for Scotland. Much relief at the end for Scotland

1:27:31 > 1:27:42beating Samoa. A thrilling match. Here are some of the matches

1:28:06 > 1:28:08tomorrow night you have to watch

1:28:08 > 1:28:13tomorrow night you have to watch this programme. It is one of the

1:28:13 > 1:28:19simple pleasures, messing around with a football. Heading it. I did

1:28:19 > 1:28:23it for a living. COMMENTATOR:Shearer.It doesn't

1:28:23 > 1:28:27hurt. There is plenty that happens on the field that does hurt, but not

1:28:27 > 1:28:31this. This seems a million miles away from this.Dementia is where

1:28:31 > 1:28:34you have a loss of normal brain function.I want more information.

1:28:34 > 1:28:40As a footballer, you don't expect to die at 59 of brain damage.It's a

1:28:40 > 1:28:45disgrace. How could they cover it up.The game I love playing actually

1:28:45 > 1:28:56kill me? Now big moment for rugby on Wednesday when world rugby meets to

1:28:56 > 1:29:01discuss where the next World Cup will be. South South Africa, France

1:29:01 > 1:29:05and Ireland. World rugby saying it was an objective, robust and

1:29:05 > 1:29:09independent body that assessed the three bids and the recommendation is

1:29:09 > 1:29:13that South Africa should host the World Cup in 2023. Are you not

1:29:13 > 1:29:18happy?The recommendation is that all three countries are well capable

1:29:18 > 1:29:22of hosting a really successful and excellent tournament. That hes a the

1:29:22 > 1:29:28main thing we take out of it. What Ireland promised or guarantee is a

1:29:28 > 1:29:32financially successful tournament with full stadium in close-proximity

1:29:32 > 1:29:38to cities and towns. Ireland do hospitality. We doo-doo welcomes

1:29:38 > 1:29:43very well. I think we can guarantee a great tournament. What we really

1:29:43 > 1:29:46need is the support of the Home Nations on Wednesday. That is

1:29:46 > 1:29:51really, really important for us.Do you feel enough weight was put on

1:29:51 > 1:29:57perhaps the Commonwealth games not going to Durban that they couldn't

1:29:57 > 1:30:00deal with a situation like that and the fluid situation. More could have

1:30:00 > 1:30:04been made of that? IsIt raises alarm bells, certainly. Our big

1:30:04 > 1:30:11focus is on our bid and what we're capable of doing. There are is big

1:30:11 > 1:30:16excitement in Ireland about the kind of tournament we can run and we can

1:30:16 > 1:30:19throw for the world.Have you given up yet or do you think a lot might

1:30:19 > 1:30:21happen over the next 72-hours? Certainly not.

1:30:21 > 1:30:24I was on the phone this morning speaking to some of the people

1:30:24 > 1:30:28involved in the bid. They are very busy and working very hard. They

1:30:28 > 1:30:32invested a lot in it and are confident they will make an amacing

1:30:32 > 1:30:36be Job on it.Dedecision day on Wednesday, as I say.

1:30:42 > 1:30:50Now, a quick word on the Hooper tribe.This was said in commentary

1:30:50 > 1:30:54to be an absolute killer. A lot of positivity from the Welsh. I thought

1:30:54 > 1:31:01Hooper had blown it and he have to give it to Hodge. A great finish.

1:31:01 > 1:31:04Wales will look back at that video on Monday and they will absolutely

1:31:04 > 1:31:09kill themselves.They are going to be pretty annoyed at that because it

1:31:09 > 1:31:15was a basic mistake for Wales to make. An easy fix is a positive for

1:31:15 > 1:31:19Wales but perhaps when they are playing off ten, it is a loose

1:31:19 > 1:31:27defensively.The next score is key, isn't it?The next score is massive,

1:31:27 > 1:31:30former mentor them.I think playing on the right half of the field is

1:31:30 > 1:31:34really important as well. If you look at Wales, they were playing in

1:31:34 > 1:31:40the wrong half of the field, making mistakes in their own half.Here we

1:31:40 > 1:31:46go with the second half of this first match of four at the

1:31:46 > 1:31:49Principality Stadium in the autumn internationals. Just to say, Wales

1:31:49 > 1:31:54have lost the last 12 matches against Australia and the Aussies

1:31:54 > 1:31:58are looking to make this their team in a row. We shall see. Let's go

1:31:58 > 1:32:05back to Eddie Butler. The whistle has gone and off we go.

1:32:05 > 1:32:15Jonathan Davies catches. The excellent management hasn't been

1:32:15 > 1:32:25great. Jake Ball to Dan Biggar. Straight behind Gareth Davies. His

1:32:25 > 1:32:37left boot to Reece Hodge. Hodge tackled by Jonathan Davies. Genia,

1:32:37 > 1:32:41and what a first off the scrum-half had.

1:32:51 > 1:32:57Polota-Nau, he had a good first half as well. Hanigan is the wing

1:32:57 > 1:32:58forward.

1:33:09 > 1:33:18Kuridrani over the ball and he leaves it for Sean McMahon.

1:33:25 > 1:33:35Patients from

1:33:36 > 1:33:41Australia -- patience from Australia and Wales turn it... Oh, they

1:33:41 > 1:33:48didn't. Important tackle, Owen Williams on Bernard Foley. Again,

1:33:48 > 1:33:50nice little pause.

1:34:09 > 1:34:18A switch of play. Rob Symonds arise and be passed to him is forward.

1:34:18 > 1:34:25Again, it's from the kick-off. You know, if Wales clear their lines, if

1:34:25 > 1:34:36Australia defended OK. Watch, the pass their forces him on his left

1:34:36 > 1:34:41vote. If the pass is on his right side, he clears with his right fit.

1:34:41 > 1:34:44It's a small thing but it makes it easier for Dan to kick the ball and

1:34:44 > 1:34:50clear his lines.A critical way of relieving pressure on yourself. He

1:34:50 > 1:34:54probably wanted the ball to out there and then they could reset from

1:34:54 > 1:35:04the line-out.Australia are putting a squeeze on the Welsh scrummage.

1:35:04 > 1:35:08Foley is down. Referee happy to let play go on. Halfpenny is tackled by

1:35:08 > 1:35:23Hooper. They will go back for a penalty. Against Scott Sio.Paul

1:35:23 > 1:35:26O'Connell at half-time, I'd love Ireland to have the World Cup as

1:35:26 > 1:35:35well.They know how to throw a great party. Steffan Evans can't get away

1:35:35 > 1:35:51from Kuridrani. Just about get up to the advantage line.

1:36:04 > 1:36:13Aluko volatile those on the outside, finds Williams. -- Faletau goes on

1:36:13 > 1:36:18the outside, finds Williams. And they read the danger. Oh, he stays

1:36:18 > 1:36:25down.I think slightly theatrical there. Great play by Wales again,

1:36:25 > 1:36:34creating the overlap, Faletau in and out. A lovely kick, turns and good

1:36:34 > 1:36:40chase.Very theatrical. You can see the intent from Wales. From that

1:36:40 > 1:36:44penalty, everyone expecting him to kick it out. They are trying to play

1:36:44 > 1:36:49up-tempo. You can see they are trying to try new things, do things

1:36:49 > 1:36:53differently and those little last passes aren't working for them but

1:36:53 > 1:36:55they are certainly creating opportunities with the way they are

1:36:55 > 1:37:00trying to play.And when you try to play this game, Faletau, I don't

1:37:00 > 1:37:05think that is late.You know, he was committed. I think that's fine. It's

1:37:05 > 1:37:12part of the game, isn't it?Going back to Faletau, he is even more

1:37:12 > 1:37:16important now because he is the ball carrier, a distributor, a

1:37:16 > 1:37:26ball-carrier, and attacking threat. Welsh line-out on the attack. Wales

1:37:26 > 1:37:33go for the ball. The ball in the hands of Kim Owens, inching forward.

1:37:33 > 1:37:36The referee gives them the first warning.

1:37:40 > 1:37:47Jonathan Davies, oh, and they've lost the ball. Koroibete, Steffan

1:37:47 > 1:37:59Evans tackled him well. The giant winger.

1:38:04 > 1:38:07Halfpenny comes forward.

1:38:17 > 1:38:25Rob Evans and Kim Owens does well to keep the ball alive infield. Jake

1:38:25 > 1:38:29Ball, a willing runner, makes a couple of yards. Good hands and

1:38:29 > 1:38:34again, Faletau gets the path the way. And again, the vital pass goes

1:38:34 > 1:38:40astray.You have got to complement Wales. They are trying. They are

1:38:40 > 1:38:44looking at numbers on the short side but there is the confidence about

1:38:44 > 1:38:50them now, to have the ball in hand. Brok number eight, the car on the

1:38:50 > 1:38:54outside, Stef Evans is there in support. They are trying to play a

1:38:54 > 1:39:07lovely blend of rugby.Hasn't Rob Evans got good hands? It's almost

1:39:07 > 1:39:12not least by Michael Hooper rather than a knock there.Nearly, but I

1:39:12 > 1:39:19think this scrummage will be interesting. All of these for Wales

1:39:19 > 1:39:24have ended in penalty. It will be interesting to see what Glen Jackson

1:39:24 > 1:39:32is looking at here, with the Aussies putting in.Again, Foley was forced

1:39:32 > 1:39:36to kick because it was good defence from Wales. I think the pleasing

1:39:36 > 1:39:40thing as James said is that Wales are creating opportunities now. It's

1:39:40 > 1:39:49just their execution that is letting them down a little bit.Scrum goes

1:39:49 > 1:40:00down and again, the referee happy for it to do so. Play on, and

1:40:00 > 1:40:06Koroibete over the top of Davies. Foley, oh, a huge amount of time to

1:40:06 > 1:40:13plan his kick.Too much time. Steffan Evans, well taken by the

1:40:13 > 1:40:16winger.

1:40:22 > 1:40:27Somebody shouted turnover. A bit of wishful thinking, really. Gareth

1:40:27 > 1:40:33Davies finds Rob Evans. Evans doesn't try the pass this time.

1:40:53 > 1:40:59Penalty to Wales.I'll tell you what, after 60 minutes this game is

1:40:59 > 1:41:04going to go a bit slower because it is so, so quick and voracious even

1:41:04 > 1:41:09now.Yes, there are some big hits going in there and I think that was

1:41:09 > 1:41:14a silly penalty to give away. You could hear the referee say they had

1:41:14 > 1:41:19lost it and he still went at it. That makes the referee's decision

1:41:19 > 1:41:24pretty easy to say, if you keep hold of it, I have no question but to

1:41:24 > 1:41:30give it.Here is the penalty and that was a great kick.Good play by

1:41:30 > 1:41:36Navidi. He has deserved his place. He played exceptionally well for the

1:41:36 > 1:41:44Blues.And here is that little pause he were talking about, Jonathan.

1:41:44 > 1:41:49Wales taking their time about this line-out. Let's nailed this one. The

1:41:49 > 1:41:54referee might give them a hurry up.

1:41:59 > 1:42:05Two, four, six forwards in the line-out. Faletau out in the three

1:42:05 > 1:42:11quarters. Jake Ball wins it. Faletau comes in to join them all. This is

1:42:11 > 1:42:18better by Wales. There is forward motion. Australia though have got

1:42:18 > 1:42:22legs off the ground. Gareth Davies, Steffan Evans infield, well read by

1:42:22 > 1:42:32Genia. Schindler gets the pass away to Owen Williams, Jonathan Davies.

1:42:37 > 1:42:45Owens, the hooker. Oh, that is a penalty advantage. It's Adam Coleman

1:42:45 > 1:42:50again. A switch of direction. Penalty advantage. Owen Williams

1:42:50 > 1:42:58tries to get round Michael Hooper, who doesn't let him.You've got to

1:42:58 > 1:43:06take the three points. Take the three.I think in that position when

1:43:06 > 1:43:10it's basically a gift three points, you have to take the three. Build

1:43:10 > 1:43:16the scoreboard that you get then you need one score to tie the game and

1:43:16 > 1:43:26get some reward for the pressure you have been putting on.Adam Coleman,

1:43:26 > 1:43:33if he known as a forward that gives away the odd penalty?He can be, he

1:43:33 > 1:43:38pushes the boundaries, likes to be a physical presence and sometimes you

1:43:38 > 1:43:45step over the line a little bit. Here's a great player, he has played

1:43:45 > 1:43:50really well for us today, but silly penalties that and he will be

1:43:50 > 1:43:55disappointed with himself come Monday, watching the review.

1:44:04 > 1:44:13Talk to yourself, Leigh Halfpenny. And smooth as you like. Wales within

1:44:13 > 1:44:21a converted try of Australia. Wales 16, Australia 22.

1:44:28 > 1:44:36Amazing to see the intention of this game when Gatland introduces the

1:44:36 > 1:44:43bench.It's an inexperienced bench. They are still in the game, so when

1:44:43 > 1:44:53will they make the call?A change for Australia.I can't believe

1:44:53 > 1:44:57Carmichael is still around. He seems to have been around for an age, he's

1:44:57 > 1:45:04been all over the world. Northern hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere.

1:45:04 > 1:45:07Aussie rules. Everywhere. Just beat that first defender there every

1:45:07 > 1:45:13time, doesn't he?Gareth Davies looks up and decides to kick

1:45:13 > 1:45:20himself. Jonathan Davies in pursuit. Reece Hodge waits and takes safely.

1:45:20 > 1:45:28Jake Ball make the tackle and turns the winger over. Rob Evans,

1:45:28 > 1:45:35beautiful one, Steffan Evans stays on his feet. No VD, Biggar,

1:45:35 > 1:45:42Halfpenny, oh, and it's the safest hands on the field, Faletau, who

1:45:42 > 1:45:55drops the ball.But again, it is lovely play, to forwards, a big hit

1:45:55 > 1:46:01from Foley and then unfortunately the safest pair of hands for Wales

1:46:01 > 1:46:04drops it.

1:46:10 > 1:46:16Well, he immediately held his hands up. Nine handling errors against and

1:46:16 > 1:46:20just two errors for Australia. They are in this group, they have played

1:46:20 > 1:46:23a lot together and been successful together.You can see the Welsh are

1:46:23 > 1:46:27trying to play ball with ball in hand. There will be those teething

1:46:27 > 1:46:41issues when you try to play any form game. -- a new form of game.When

1:46:41 > 1:46:44decisions go your way, you've got to make the most of them. Momentum is

1:46:44 > 1:46:55with Wales.Wales choose the scrum. Rob Evans have a chat with Glen

1:46:55 > 1:47:01Jackson, he tells him to shut up. Yes, I don't think he appreciated

1:47:01 > 1:47:06that. He wants to referee the game and let the other guys play.

1:47:16 > 1:47:21Wales have to sort it out and they do well. Faletau slings it infield

1:47:21 > 1:47:28but it has gone out. Australia take it quickly, too quickly. There is no

1:47:28 > 1:47:36sign yet of the game slowing up.No, none at all.Gareth Davies comes

1:47:36 > 1:47:46away from a swirling scrummage and Faletau...

1:47:56 > 1:48:03Polota-Nau finds his target, goes into the maul. Wales try to ease

1:48:03 > 1:48:12Australia towards the touchline. We'll Genia to Sean McMahon who does

1:48:12 > 1:48:21well to grind out a few extra steps. Polota-Nau, he too goes a metre

1:48:21 > 1:48:31beyond the tackle. Foley high and Liam Williams weights. Good

1:48:31 > 1:48:36follow-up tackle. Williams stays on his feet.Yes, a good decision not

1:48:36 > 1:48:43to throw a pass.Long enough for the troops to arrive. Evans outside

1:48:43 > 1:48:48Jonathan Davies. Davies gets the ball to Owen Williams. Rebuild a

1:48:48 > 1:49:02little bit.Get up, play on!Gareth Davies is told to play-the-ball.

1:49:12 > 1:49:24Stef Evans tight against the touchline. Alun Wyn Jones. Wales

1:49:24 > 1:49:28stretched wide across the field. Dan Biggar has to take it above his

1:49:28 > 1:49:32head. Jake Ball gets the ball to Liam Williams. Can't quite make the

1:49:32 > 1:49:42pass. Penalty advantage to Wales. Free play... Oh, it's gone. Halfway.

1:49:42 > 1:49:48He might have a crack at this, Halfpenny.He might, still

1:49:48 > 1:49:52conditions, roof closed.

1:50:03 > 1:50:07A big warning there as well at a crucial time in the game. Any more

1:50:07 > 1:50:21infringements, a yellow card.Dan Biggar has a word and Leigh

1:50:21 > 1:50:24Halfpenny start his routine. Ofcom is the scrum cap, not that his gum

1:50:24 > 1:50:35edges. -- of comes the scrum cap. Foley is now in midfield, handing

1:50:35 > 1:50:39possession over. It will be interesting to see if Australia

1:50:39 > 1:50:44changed their tactics.Michael Hooper lays it down to the troops.I

1:50:44 > 1:50:48think he's going to be telling them to go back to what they were doing

1:50:48 > 1:50:51right at the beginning of the game which was not committing at the

1:50:51 > 1:50:56breakdown unless it's really on. It's important to paint the good

1:50:56 > 1:51:00picture to the referee because he's got it in his mind now that

1:51:00 > 1:51:03Australia are giving away penalties at the breakdown, is that he needs

1:51:03 > 1:51:06to see some good work from the Aussies to make sure that they are

1:51:06 > 1:51:16not infringing that.

1:51:22 > 1:51:27From a few inches inside his own half but it is more or less in

1:51:27 > 1:51:32front. Reece Hodge has already belted one over. Leigh Halfpenny for

1:51:32 > 1:51:39Wales. Distance is good. Direction slightly wide.He just came inside

1:51:39 > 1:51:43that because usually if you're worried about your distance, you

1:51:43 > 1:51:49purl up. But on that occasion, he came up inside it. He had plenty of

1:51:49 > 1:51:52distance on that kick.

1:52:01 > 1:52:09Stephen Moore on his last tour, his last few games, comes on.A great

1:52:09 > 1:52:13person to come on at this time of the game. Loads of experience,

1:52:13 > 1:52:19played a lot up here against the Welsh. A great person to bring on at

1:52:19 > 1:52:29this point in the game.Cap 127. 127, 128, something like that. It's

1:52:29 > 1:52:38a lot!It's a colossal number. Wales in possession. A cutting pass which

1:52:38 > 1:52:41allows Jonathan Davies to size up the kick and Wales give Australia in

1:52:41 > 1:52:48their own territory. -- keep Australia in marine territory.Just

1:52:48 > 1:53:01to keep the pressure on.Here is Stephen Moore. Cap 127, to confirm.

1:53:01 > 1:53:03Still a lot.

1:53:10 > 1:53:12Kuridrani and again, it's Owen Williams who holds up the big

1:53:12 > 1:53:21centre.Straight down the middle and that the different kick.He has run

1:53:21 > 1:53:26away from Stef Evans, slightly on its own. He ran away on his own and

1:53:26 > 1:53:32found Australians. But delivers. Gareth A Davies, Stef Evans.He

1:53:32 > 1:53:34looks dangerous, he looks comfortable in this arena, Stef

1:53:34 > 1:53:44Evans.Alun Wyn Jones, a different type of parts. Liam Williams outside

1:53:44 > 1:53:51him and the pass goes astray.It is brilliant play to get on the

1:53:51 > 1:53:56outside, a couple of quick passes, defenders are drawn in and you knew

1:53:56 > 1:54:00they had them. One pass, and other off-load, the next thing, to

1:54:00 > 1:54:06defenders coming, Carmichael Hunt, give it early and there is no need

1:54:06 > 1:54:14for the miracle ball. There it is, give it early.Or just hold the ball

1:54:14 > 1:54:19and keep it in. Recycle phases. I feel like we're repeating ourselves

1:54:19 > 1:54:23but it's the same thing over and over. They are creating

1:54:23 > 1:54:29opportunities but the finish isn't there.Michael Hooper goes up the

1:54:29 > 1:54:35outside. All still in. Ken Owens. The game really has loosened up here

1:54:35 > 1:54:40and Wales have a lot of possession. Jonathan Davies though well tackled

1:54:40 > 1:54:43by Carmichael Hunt.

1:54:51 > 1:54:58Jake Ball takes it up, injury to Stef Evans. It is the ball-handling

1:54:58 > 1:55:07props, and Francis joins in. Navidi gets 31 tackle, tries to free her

1:55:07 > 1:55:16pants, doesn't try the past this time. Oh. Owen Williams as to sort

1:55:16 > 1:55:25that out. -- Neddy Eadie gets 31 tackle tries to free his hands.

1:55:31 > 1:55:38Stef Evans back-up on his feet. Gets away from Foley and from Kuridrani.

1:55:38 > 1:55:43What a tackle that is. Kurtley Beale comes away with it. Everybody went

1:55:43 > 1:55:48with the dummy ball and Kurtley Beale scores for Australia. I saw

1:55:48 > 1:55:53that straightaway. It was thought of a rugby league steel and no one knew

1:55:53 > 1:55:59where the ball was except for two men. This man and that man.And he

1:55:59 > 1:56:08has kicked the drop ball as well but he still hasn't awarded the try. Oh,

1:56:08 > 1:56:13hang on. We are going for a review. I don't think he awarded the try to

1:56:13 > 1:56:19be able to go for the conversion.He wanted to take the conversion

1:56:19 > 1:56:33quickly to avoid the review.Well, this is a big call.Right.

1:56:36 > 1:56:47High tackle, perhaps?Does he not it on? -- knock it on.

1:56:51 > 1:57:05Good try, isn't it?I think it's going to be a try. Amazing try.Yes,

1:57:05 > 1:57:12given it. That's brilliant play from Kurtley Beale.Isn't it just.That

1:57:12 > 1:57:19hurts for the Welsh, I think. You know, on the attack, creating

1:57:19 > 1:57:23overlaps, creating opportunities and against the run of play, a try like

1:57:23 > 1:57:27that, X factor from Kurtley Beale can really sort of think your hopes,

1:57:27 > 1:57:34maybe it is a bridge too far. It will be an interesting last 17

1:57:34 > 1:57:40minutes to come.Wales 16, Australia 29 and just as the game was breaking

1:57:40 > 1:57:44down and Australia weren't getting their hands on the ball as much,

1:57:44 > 1:57:47this happens. Kurtley Beale with the ultimate steal because nobody knew

1:57:47 > 1:57:52where the ball had gone. He comes away with it and scores between the

1:57:52 > 1:57:59posts.That is the ultimate steal. Advantage Australia. Wales have got

1:57:59 > 1:58:06to be careful. There is one of the new Australian players. Matt Philip,

1:58:06 > 1:58:16is it?Yes, he is on for Rob Symonds.It has been such a high

1:58:16 > 1:58:23tempo.But at this level, just that one thing, six points in it. One

1:58:23 > 1:58:28piece of magic by Kurtley Beale and it's all gone flat here. They have

1:58:28 > 1:58:33just got to keep on playing the way they are playing. As James said,

1:58:33 > 1:58:38they have been creating opportunities.A mask comes on for

1:58:38 > 1:58:48Stef Evans. -- Amos comes on for Stef Evans.I think he will be happy

1:58:48 > 1:58:54with his game, Stef Evans. He breaks the first tackle. Yes, the steel is

1:58:54 > 1:59:02unfortunate for him.This is the first cap for Matt Philip in the

1:59:02 > 1:59:10Australian second row.Second. He played against Japan last weekend.

1:59:10 > 1:59:22Second cap. Kepu goes off. A change in the front row. Alaalatoa comes

1:59:22 > 1:59:26onto the tight head side.

1:59:35 > 1:59:42A quarter of an hour to go, Australia from a steady scrummage.

1:59:42 > 1:59:51Here is Carmichael Hunt. Owen Williams with the tackle. The new

1:59:51 > 1:59:57second row, Philip. The relatively new hooker, Stephen Moore. The try

1:59:57 > 2:00:02scorer, Kurtley Beale.

2:00:09 > 2:00:13McCalman, his first touch. Did well to scoop it up.

2:00:18 > 2:00:23Foley, a deliberate knock-on by Jonathan Davies?It is. Nothing

2:00:23 > 2:00:27else. He played for the ball. Nothing silly like a yellow card

2:00:27 > 2:00:34needed.Glen Jackson waits for Jonathan Davies, who wisely stays a

2:00:34 > 2:00:39long way away.

2:00:39 > 2:00:43He couldn't help himself there. Coming in front of his face, his eye

2:00:43 > 2:00:47vision. Wanted to stick his hand out. It's a tough one. Right call.

2:00:47 > 2:00:50Yeah, no yellow card. I think it's a penalty, penalty only.

2:00:50 > 2:00:54We will see what - I think Australia are going for the post.Reece Hodge,

2:00:54 > 2:00:58again. This is a big kick. Any language, any era, this is a massive

2:00:58 > 2:01:04kick. Wrong side of the field for him. From his own half.15 yards

2:01:04 > 2:01:11from the touchline.You have to say, the way he struck the first one,

2:01:11 > 2:01:18well, it's within his range. Distance won't be an issue. It's the

2:01:18 > 2:01:25direction, whether he can guide it between the sticks.

2:01:28 > 2:01:33Interesting one, James. Just like Foley and Kurtley Beale, they can

2:01:33 > 2:01:36play anywhere in the three quarters. Great to have that versatility in

2:01:36 > 2:01:41your backline. Not only with the bench nowadays being having to more

2:01:41 > 2:01:45specialists on your bench to have guys starting who can be so

2:01:45 > 2:01:49versatile. He's confident hef steps up to the mark and hopefully he can

2:01:49 > 2:01:54bang this one over.Oh, dear, distance is not a problem. It may

2:01:54 > 2:02:00have gone under the bar, actually. I beg his pardon. I beg the

2:02:00 > 2:02:08atmospheric conditions. Taken quickly. Wales determined to keep

2:02:08 > 2:02:12the tempo high.

2:02:16 > 2:02:19Just eases play away from the touchline.

2:02:22 > 2:02:26They are going to have to come from deep Wales, but they do have

2:02:26 > 2:02:31numbers. Jonathan Davies, again, manages play.Good decision.In the

2:02:31 > 2:02:36tram line. Earns Wales the penalty. He's off. He's He gave the off.

2:02:36 > 2:02:40Warning. It's the captain himself, Michael Hooper, who goes into the

2:02:40 > 2:02:45bin.Big ten minutes coming up now. Huge. You have to say that Glen

2:02:45 > 2:02:50Jackson has had a pretty good game and a man of his word. He has been

2:02:50 > 2:02:55consistent and he told the Australians next one to infringe at

2:02:55 > 2:02:59the breakdown, it seemed cynical, they are going to go.I'm sure

2:02:59 > 2:03:04Michael will have a moan after the game about it, won't he?That's a

2:03:04 > 2:03:09good kick down field as well. What have we left in this game? 12

2:03:09 > 2:03:15minutes to go.Plenty of time. Australia down to 14. Wales trail by

2:03:15 > 2:03:2114 points. They bring on the changes. Cory Hill comes on into the

2:03:21 > 2:03:33second row. Owen Watkin comes on into the centre. That is Cory Hill.

2:03:33 > 2:03:39ThereIt's a big test, Owen Watkin. He has been injured for a long time.

2:03:39 > 2:03:43Fingers crossed for him. Great potential.Nicky Smith comes into

2:03:43 > 2:03:48the front row. Cory Hill drives up to the Australian 22. Jonathan

2:03:48 > 2:03:55Davies. Davies. Takes the tackle by Stephen Moore to stop him. Moore is

2:03:55 > 2:04:01in the way. Francis.

2:04:04 > 2:04:15The captain, Alun Wyn Jones, still going. Hangs on to the ball. Navidi.

2:04:15 > 2:04:22Tackled by Matt Philip. Biggar to Ken Owens. Aaron Shingler arrives.

2:04:22 > 2:04:29Turned over. Knocked on, though.

2:04:31 > 2:04:40I think he's got a little bit of blood on him, Karmichael Hunt.

2:04:40 > 2:04:47Karmichael Hunt will have to go off to be mopped up.Yeah.Didn't too

2:04:47 > 2:04:51happy with himself there. You know, he's a guy that certainly puts

2:04:51 > 2:04:58himself about. Big background in Rugby League. Used to be a physical

2:04:58 > 2:05:03Rugby League fullback he has been playing for the Reds and a stop off

2:05:03 > 2:05:08with the NFL in between. Physical player. Loves the confrontational

2:05:08 > 2:05:12side of things. Great to come in off the bench. He gives you that

2:05:12 > 2:05:17physical edge at the backline.On the naughty step.It's like a

2:05:17 > 2:05:21naughty step there, do you notice. Sit right in the middle of the

2:05:21 > 2:05:27tunnel so that everyone can see you. Just go and sit with the subs!I

2:05:27 > 2:05:36don't think you can, can you? You have to go into...Quarantine.Yeah.

2:05:36 > 2:05:49There he is. He has great potential. Big step up for him.Owen Watkin in

2:05:49 > 2:06:01the centre. Centre. First cap for him.Now then, big blind-side for

2:06:01 > 2:06:07Gareth Davies and Faletau.That far side of the field, so inviting for

2:06:07 > 2:06:10Taulupe Faletau. Leigh Halfpenny is in it as well.Remember Hooper is

2:06:10 > 2:06:14off the field as well, isn't he? Australia are going a man down at

2:06:14 > 2:06:18the scrum. Seven on. Not playing with a a number eight. Interesting

2:06:18 > 2:06:24to see who comes. I imagine Will Genia will ply behind the scrum once

2:06:24 > 2:06:29this has been fed to give them the extra man.Faletau waits. Wales keep

2:06:29 > 2:06:35Australia honest, but it's gone loose. Penalty though. Now then,

2:06:35 > 2:06:42presumably time is running out for the penalty. Wales opt for it looks

2:06:42 > 2:06:51like a kicked touch. Dan Biggar aiming for the corner.Big moment

2:06:51 > 2:06:55this. Huge moment for both teams. Australia need to make sure - I

2:06:55 > 2:06:59don't think Australia will compete. They will try and drive them all and

2:06:59 > 2:07:05the Welsh need to get something set up.

2:07:10 > 2:07:17Ken Owens. Cory Hill with the catch. Owens has his hands on the ball.

2:07:17 > 2:07:24Australia defend well.Sam Warburton said you don't want to come into the

2:07:24 > 2:07:27open field. That is what Australia have done well. Still in control of

2:07:27 > 2:07:31the ball, but they've got to play it now.Gareth Davies tries to go on

2:07:31 > 2:07:45his own. It's there. Biggar, to Hill. Davies, Biggar, sells the

2:07:45 > 2:07:57dummy. Davies, happy to take his time. Micky Smith. Jonathan Davies,

2:07:57 > 2:08:03the kick option - too long, but it was a penalty advantage.Free play.

2:08:03 > 2:08:15That's why he made the kick. He knew.Well...I think you've got to

2:08:15 > 2:08:19call a scrum here, James, what would you do? Centre the success of the

2:08:19 > 2:08:23last one you would think that is the right thing to do. Make Australia

2:08:23 > 2:08:28put an eighth man on the scrum they are one short on the backline. That

2:08:28 > 2:08:31is what they've decided to do.They don't want to get bogged down here

2:08:31 > 2:08:38for five minutes.Yeah.Interesting Interesting to see if Australia put

2:08:38 > 2:08:42an extra man on the scrum or stick with seven and play full compliments

2:08:42 > 2:08:56in the backline.Gareth Davies checks with Dan Biggar. Again, it

2:08:56 > 2:08:57that's that inviting blind-side.

2:09:00 > 2:09:08Five minutes and a bit remaining. Gareth Davies, watches the forwards

2:09:08 > 2:09:12edge forward and tell them to go forward again. Free play for Wales.

2:09:12 > 2:09:24A double free play. Will Genia offside. Long from Biggar. Amos runs

2:09:24 > 2:09:29out of space. Australia will be happy to eat up the time.You have

2:09:29 > 2:09:32to go strong again. Under pressure. Another penalty. More pressure,

2:09:32 > 2:09:38penalty try.They need to get a result here, though. They don't want

2:09:38 > 2:09:43the clock to get to 76 minutes when they haven't got any points. Then

2:09:43 > 2:09:47they are really chasing the game. They want to get a result here. As

2:09:47 > 2:09:52you can see Australia are trying to slow that clock down. Make sure they

2:09:52 > 2:09:56get set. Make sure the guys are are ping strong and see what they get

2:09:56 > 2:10:03there.The captain waits. Stephen Moore uses all those 127 caps worth

2:10:03 > 2:10:14of experience to slow it down. Then Glen Jackson orders a reset.

2:10:33 > 2:10:39Here we go, again.They've gone down.The scrum has gone down. Glen

2:10:39 > 2:10:47Jack Jackson happy. Davies, on his own. A meter short. Navidi has to

2:10:47 > 2:10:55play scrum-half. Ken Owens, sets it up again. The forwards lead through

2:10:55 > 2:11:00Faletau. Alun Wyn Jones dives for the line.I think he's lost it.He's

2:11:00 > 2:11:06lost it forward.Referee arm out in Australia's direction, playing the

2:11:06 > 2:11:12advantage. Australia in no rush. Knock-on by Wales. Danger over.

2:11:12 > 2:11:16That's what the coach thinks.I don't think it's over yesterday yet

2:11:16 > 2:11:21you have to go for the nudge here, wouldn't you James?I think so.

2:11:21 > 2:11:26Australia will keep seven on the scrum. You are going to try and back

2:11:26 > 2:11:32yourself and get a tight-head. It's difficult in this day and age but

2:11:32 > 2:11:39also try to keep the penalty. Sam Cross comes on.He comes into the

2:11:39 > 2:11:46back row. There is Sam Cross. Silver-medallist at the Rio Olympics

2:11:46 > 2:11:54in the seven aside version. Kristian Dacey into the front row.Brown made

2:11:54 > 2:11:59a big impression in the scrummaging against England.He's on too.What

2:11:59 > 2:12:02an opportunity for him now. Australia putting Kurtley Beale on

2:12:02 > 2:12:07the flank on this side. I don't think he know what is he's doing! He

2:12:07 > 2:12:17definitely doesn't know what he's doing.Oh, there he is.Kuridrani

2:12:17 > 2:12:21drives Australia further away from their own goal life. Oh, under

2:12:21 > 2:12:24pressure. Gets it away. Leigh Halfpenny will want to take this

2:12:24 > 2:12:30quickly.I think it's been touched. Australia ball. Well, you heard it,

2:12:30 > 2:12:36James. Good ears.

2:12:44 > 2:12:53Again, Australia in no hurry. Glen Jackson says - come on. John

2:12:53 > 2:13:00Robertson on for Australia to complete the new front row.

2:13:07 > 2:13:11This is chewing into the clock here, which Australian won't be too upset

2:13:11 > 2:13:17about.The crowd getting impatient. Leon Brown, welcome to the

2:13:17 > 2:13:25international stage, Lyon.Hooper is about to come back on, isn't he?Up

2:13:25 > 2:13:36on his feet. Not on the field yet. Stephen Moore just senses the

2:13:36 > 2:13:42seconds ticking by. Again ya takes over. Foley puts it towards Liam

2:13:42 > 2:13:53Williams.Oh!Liam Williams back up. Was he held? No, he wasn't. Alun Wyn

2:13:53 > 2:13:57Jones, play on. The ball comes to Leigh Halfpenny. Jonathan Davies

2:13:57 > 2:14:04outside. That's such a good tackle by Kuridrani. Sam Cross to Kristian

2:14:04 > 2:14:18Dacey. Cross, acting scrum-half, again. Halfpenny, Faletau. Aled

2:14:18 > 2:14:25Davies is on at scrum-half. Aled Davies, Biggar. Cory Hill on the

2:14:25 > 2:14:35charge. Davies, Biggar, Watkin. He gets it back to Biggar. Aled Davies.

2:14:35 > 2:14:48Alun Wyn Jones. Hallam Amos.Ah!Sam Cross looks up only to see the

2:14:48 > 2:14:52referee giving Wales the penalty. Michael Hooper will come back on.

2:14:52 > 2:14:59Two minutes to go. Wales on the attack. Biggar take it is quickly.

2:14:59 > 2:15:07Aled Davies ducks. Wrong place.He's told him twice. He's told him twice,

2:15:07 > 2:15:17Glen Jackson.Biggar aims for the corner. Oh. Good kick. That was

2:15:17 > 2:15:20straight down our line of sight there.I thought there's

2:15:20 > 2:15:26frustration. He just hooked it. Great kick.Australia are a man down

2:15:26 > 2:15:36here, Coleman seems to have taken a bang.Aled Davies, Alun Wyn Jones,

2:15:36 > 2:15:39Hallam Amos. Wales on the attack. In between all this, your Man of the

2:15:39 > 2:15:49Match?It's been a great game. Reverend Alun Wyn Jones has been

2:15:49 > 2:15:56brilliant for Wales. My Man of the Match is this man, there he is, Will

2:15:56 > 2:16:06Genia. He has been brilliant.Sam Cross wins it. Kristian Dacey joins

2:16:06 > 2:16:19them all. Urged on. Days distries to plunge for the line. Short. Again!

2:16:19 > 2:16:25Still on the Welsh side.

2:16:26 > 2:16:34Out it comes. Navidi. Advantage to Wales. All this pressure, it just,

2:16:34 > 2:16:37like the World Cup game when they were against 13 and 14. They

2:16:37 > 2:16:42couldn't score. Jonathan Davies for Amos to chase and pick up. Driven

2:16:42 > 2:16:48against the touchline. This will be reviewed. The clock will stop.I'm

2:16:48 > 2:16:57not sure by Hallam Amos' reaction if he's grounded it.

2:17:00 > 2:17:16Try or no try? That is the question from the referee to TMO Graham Hugs.

2:17:16 > 2:17:26Dropped it. He's dropped it.I don't know. Yeah, frame by frame it

2:17:26 > 2:17:30doesn't look great. I think all they are looking for is downward

2:17:30 > 2:17:39pressure. Unbelievable effort from Marika Koroibete. Unbelievable

2:17:39 > 2:17:44effort.

2:17:47 > 2:17:56Hand in contact. Left hand still in contact.No.Right hand in contact.

2:17:56 > 2:18:01I've seen these given and I've seen he these taken away. There is one

2:18:01 > 2:18:06man who knows the answer, Graham Hughes, the TMO. Only he knows. 50%

2:18:06 > 2:18:16would give it. 50% wouldn't give it. This is a TMO's call, no-one else.

2:18:21 > 2:18:24You need some downward pressure is the rule. So whether he's got

2:18:24 > 2:18:29control or not.I'm happy he keeps control of that. You can award the

2:18:29 > 2:18:38try.Try awarded. It was down to the last frame. Try awarded. Hallam

2:18:38 > 2:18:43Amos. Well it has had a little bit of everything this game. It's been a

2:18:43 > 2:18:47little cracker. Wales are up into the 20s. The clock is running off.

2:18:47 > 2:18:55Wef will have a restart.But he needs to kick it. -- we will. Take

2:18:55 > 2:19:03your time, take your time.No. No! It doesn't quite reach that rousing

2:19:03 > 2:19:08finale. But it's been a good game, James?A great game. A great Test

2:19:08 > 2:19:12match by two teams really willing to play a bit of rugby. The physicality

2:19:12 > 2:19:16that we've spoken about all game has been there right from the off. Both

2:19:16 > 2:19:20teams have really gone at it. I think it's been a real good solid

2:19:20 > 2:19:24Test match. Both teams can take positives and things they can work

2:19:24 > 2:19:27on moving forward in the autumn. Yeah, totally agree with James. I

2:19:27 > 2:19:33think it's been a brilliant Test match. I think I've really

2:19:33 > 2:19:41appreciated the way the Australians have played. Wales wanted to change

2:19:41 > 2:19:46their rugby. Rugby.they have done that. They have been successful. The

2:19:46 > 2:19:50execution hasn't been quite there. We are into overtime. Jonathan

2:19:50 > 2:19:55Davies gets away from - oh. Don't want Jonathan Davies to suddenly get

2:19:55 > 2:20:02injured with the last play.He's hurt his ankle.Australia, through

2:20:02 > 2:20:10Michael Hooper, have they got it. Tackled by Watkin.

2:20:12 > 2:20:17That doesn't look good, does it?On the ground. Foley tries to dance his

2:20:17 > 2:20:27way through. Cory Hill steals it. Alun Wyn Jones, Aled Davies. Leon

2:20:27 > 2:20:33Brown. This is Owen Watkin. Well done. He stayed up. It's gone

2:20:33 > 2:20:39forward. That's it. It's all over. It's been very dramatic. There is

2:20:39 > 2:20:43one sad note is that Jonathan Davies, so important to Welsh

2:20:43 > 2:20:48fortunes, is lying in the 22 in pain. They are calling for the

2:20:48 > 2:20:53stretcher. On a more positive note, it has been a pulsating

2:20:53 > 2:21:01international and Australia have won it. Wales 21-29 Australia.

2:21:07 > 2:21:17A fabulous match. Two tremendous games at Murrayfield as well. We

2:21:17 > 2:21:27will go to the highlights match of England v Argentina. You have seen a

2:21:27 > 2:21:34lot, you have interpreted a lot. At the end of the day your analysis is?

2:21:34 > 2:21:39Disappointing. Proud of how the boys played. The second-half Wales played

2:21:39 > 2:21:45great rugby. Played both sides of the ruck. When they went back with

2:21:45 > 2:21:49the analysis, apart from the freakish try, Wales had the majority

2:21:49 > 2:21:54of possession and territory. We didn't perhaps convert points when

2:21:54 > 2:21:58we had them in the Australian 22 for quite a while. Wales will look back

2:21:58 > 2:22:01at the tape and pleased with how they played in that second-half.I

2:22:01 > 2:22:05agree with you. Sam is being diplomatic about the field try. It

2:22:05 > 2:22:09was a definite knock-on.We will look at it in a minute. The jury is

2:22:09 > 2:22:13out on that as well.For me, definitely knock-on. He gave it away

2:22:13 > 2:22:18by taking a quick drop goal. Fantastic Test match. Take your hat

2:22:18 > 2:22:23off to both teams. Wales you worried if they could handle the pace. They

2:22:23 > 2:22:28finished strongly. The first half, the opportunities they gave

2:22:28 > 2:22:31Australia, they came back to haunt We spoke about them.The amount of

2:22:31 > 2:22:36tries Australia are scoring they have come over here and won the game

2:22:36 > 2:22:45four tries to two against a Edwards coach side. Four tries is excellent.

2:22:45 > 2:22:52That is a sad sight. It could have been worse. When he went down

2:22:52 > 2:22:57injured you knew instantly that he knew something happened. Is amateur

2:22:57 > 2:23:02doctors here. He with thought it looks like a thigh, hamstring.His

2:23:02 > 2:23:07ankle when he went over. The fact he's sat up there is a good a sign

2:23:07 > 2:23:13as you can say, really.YeahIt looked bad initially.You will never

2:23:13 > 2:23:16know until you have a scan. Sometimes sometimes they can be

2:23:16 > 2:23:20worse.I'm not sure I want to watch this.Here we go.

2:23:25 > 2:23:31Yes, you can see. His ankle. Nasty. Fingers crossed for that. Next week

2:23:31 > 2:23:35Wales play Georgia. He would love to be fit for the match against the All

2:23:35 > 2:23:40Blacks in a couple of weeks' time. It's better than it might have

2:23:40 > 2:23:45looked. It's fair to say. We can hear from the man of the match. Dawn

2:23:45 > 2:23:49to Ross on the pitch. Will Genia Man of the Match. Straight back into the

2:23:49 > 2:23:53side. That seemed like a frenetic game from the side lines, how

2:23:53 > 2:23:58exhausting was this?A great game to play. They wanted to move the ball

2:23:58 > 2:24:04with two playmakers on the side. Full house, great rugby to watch.

2:24:04 > 2:24:07New Wales, different Wales. Did it feel different you play them every

2:24:07 > 2:24:12year. How much more difficult was it to defend?A lot more ball movement.

2:24:12 > 2:24:15They were unlicky am they created space numerous times in the

2:24:15 > 2:24:18second-half and drop balls on the edge we would have been scrambling

2:24:18 > 2:24:21otherwise. It's a great game to play against them whether it's the

2:24:21 > 2:24:25upfront physical stuff or tonight where they move the ball.Not the

2:24:25 > 2:24:28most comfortable in the end on the scoreboard. Did you feel worthy

2:24:28 > 2:24:34winners out here tonight? Definitely. It's about draet

2:24:34 > 2:24:39creating the winning mind-set. We defended and it's about the mind-set

2:24:39 > 2:24:43and working hard for each other. Proud of the gutsy effort.England

2:24:43 > 2:24:47next, ready for that?Definitely. It's a big one, looking forward to

2:24:47 > 2:24:53it.Best of luck. Michael Hooper the Australian captain. Congratulations.

2:24:53 > 2:24:56Michael another cricket victory your 13 in a row against Wales. You love

2:24:56 > 2:25:01coming here, don't youI actually do, so does the team. Great place to

2:25:01 > 2:25:06play. Really loud vocal fans and another tough Test match. Never easy

2:25:06 > 2:25:10to play or win here. The Welsh really took it to us there in the

2:25:10 > 2:25:17secretary half. The boys dug deep with 14 men on the field.You in the

2:25:17 > 2:25:22bin. Were you concerned?I was concerned. Coming through the other

2:25:22 > 2:25:26side. I'm proud of the guys digging deep. Made them score that one just

2:25:26 > 2:25:30in the corner there to get points. Really shows heart from our team.

2:25:30 > 2:25:34Much has been made of this new Wales playing with the playmaker at 12,

2:25:34 > 2:25:37more creative in attack. Did it feel like a different Wales to you

2:25:37 > 2:25:41tonight?Obviously, you have new threats we haven't seen before. New

2:25:41 > 2:25:45team every time we play. I'm happy with our guyes who were able to deal

2:25:45 > 2:25:50with those threats and get the win tonight.Congratulations. Best of

2:25:50 > 2:25:56luck against England.Cheers.We can hear from Alun Wyn Jones, the Wales

2:25:56 > 2:26:02skipper. Commiserations. How are the lungs?Not too bad. We felt

2:26:02 > 2:26:07confident going out there. We showed that how we we tried to play.

2:26:07 > 2:26:10Hopefully people can see what we tried to do. We probably hurt

2:26:10 > 2:26:13ourselves in the first half. Australia put pressure on. Hopefully

2:26:13 > 2:26:18people can see the positive way we are trying to play.It looked like a

2:26:18 > 2:26:21different Wales, different shape, creativity, reached the outside,

2:26:21 > 2:26:25stretching the Australian defence. Did you feel comfortable with this

2:26:25 > 2:26:30style of play?We have to keep more in our half. When we get further up

2:26:30 > 2:26:34the field open it wider. Play it earlier in our half. Very confident

2:26:34 > 2:26:39start from us.Pretty close on the scoreboard in the end. Did you feel

2:26:39 > 2:26:42on reflection it was a game perhaps Wales could have won? I think we

2:26:42 > 2:26:45probably are should have. The pressure we put ourselves under, the

2:26:45 > 2:26:48exits in the three half, they will be something we will be hyper

2:26:48 > 2:26:52critical about. We have to stay confident and keep playing this way.

2:26:52 > 2:26:59Georgia next week, best of luck with that one.Thank you.13 wins in a

2:26:59 > 2:27:00row

2:27:00 > 2:27:02that one.Thank you.13 wins in a row for Australia against wins

2:27:02 > 2:27:05Australia are on a run of form as they head to Twickenham next

2:27:05 > 2:27:09weekend. One of the interesting things. If you look at the tackles

2:27:09 > 2:27:13made at the top, if you remember at half time it was 90 Wales and only

2:27:13 > 2:27:1830 Australia. So effectively the second-half turned on its head and

2:27:18 > 2:27:24it was 90 Australia, 30 Wales. Penalties conceded 13 to 3. One was

2:27:24 > 2:27:29key when Hooper went into the bin. Wales couldn't capitalise on it.

2:27:29 > 2:27:39That was the irony of that barnstorming finale that Wales

2:27:39 > 2:27:46couldn't score at that moment. James joins us. You must be encourage with

2:27:46 > 2:27:51how Australian rugby is going at the moment?Definitely. It's been a

2:27:51 > 2:27:55tough year for the boys back home. To come over here. They build

2:27:55 > 2:27:56tough year for the boys back home. To come over here. They build into

2:27:56 > 2:28:01this game They attacked really well. They did - plenty to work on.

2:28:01 > 2:28:06Michael Hooper spoke about it at the end the desire to defend. Not allow

2:28:06 > 2:28:13Wales to score was quite evident. Hopefully that will put them in good

2:28:13 > 2:28:17stead moving toward against England next weekend.Who wants to start on

2:28:17 > 2:28:24this try. What happened hereWell, at first we thought it was a shot.

2:28:24 > 2:28:35It was fantastic from Beale. He goes in for the ball. Strips it. Watch

2:28:35 > 2:28:41him now. As he goes to floor, watch the ball. Bottom left of

2:28:41 > 2:28:42him now. As he goes to floor, watch the ball. Bottom left of the screen.

2:28:42 > 2:28:47He loses control there. It touches the ground. Out of his grasp. He is

2:28:47 > 2:28:53cute and smart. Gets up and played on. Everybody stopped. The tell-tale

2:28:53 > 2:28:58sign is when he takes the quick drop goal he knows - I dropped that.

2:28:58 > 2:29:04James James went kwie net commentary. For me, mate, great play

2:29:04 > 2:29:11by Beale. Good strip and smart to keep going. -- quiet in. ShooWas it

2:29:11 > 2:29:17a knock-on?His suspicions should have been aroused. This stage of the

2:29:17 > 2:29:23game you are not going to do that. He knows I've been caught but he got

2:29:23 > 2:29:28away with it.I will jump on the bandwagon.In the head of the moment

2:29:28 > 2:29:29to be on the

2:29:29 > 2:29:30bandwagon.In the head of the moment to be on the ball like that. A lot

2:29:30 > 2:29:35of players wouldn't have done that? Definitely. It show what is a

2:29:35 > 2:29:39special player he S he has the X Factor and ability to break the game

2:29:39 > 2:29:43open. A quieter night by his standards. He came out with that. It

2:29:43 > 2:29:49changed the game and momentum for Australia.People blame the referee.

2:29:49 > 2:29:53The assistant referee is closest at hand. It happens obviously in the

2:29:53 > 2:29:58blink of a blink of an eye. Irrespective. It's easy with the

2:29:58 > 2:30:02slowest of slow motions to see this. Is it realistic to expect the

2:30:02 > 2:30:08assistant referee to see it in the speed it happened?It's realistic to

2:30:08 > 2:30:11expect the video ref to see. It I don't think they are going to see

2:30:11 > 2:30:12that.I agree totally.

2:30:15 > 2:30:19Jonathan Davies, who wisely stays a long way away.

2:30:19 > 2:30:25I agree. It was the key point of the game as well. For the first part of

2:30:25 > 2:30:29the second half, Wales had real momentum. One school was needed at

2:30:29 > 2:30:32that moment but once they got to schools in front, it was so

2:30:32 > 2:30:38difficult for Wales.If we are as analytical and clinical as we will

2:30:38 > 2:30:42be about Wales, and they will be with video analysis on Monday, how

2:30:42 > 2:30:47much will they look at individual errors and say that ultimately that

2:30:47 > 2:30:51cost us?I think there were 16 handling errors. It's getting that

2:30:51 > 2:30:55balance of trying to play a little bit wider but not having handling

2:30:55 > 2:31:01errors. I think Alun Wyn Jones, Rob Evans showed real ambition to get it

2:31:01 > 2:31:08wide, and we saw pretty good success at side with those out wide as well,

2:31:08 > 2:31:12Faletau, but I am sure that is something that will improve over the

2:31:12 > 2:31:16coming weeks. It was their first hit out and I am sure it will only get

2:31:16 > 2:31:20better over the coming weeks.I think it was hugely encouraging that

2:31:20 > 2:31:25with ball in hand they do is create opportunities. Holding onto this

2:31:25 > 2:31:30great opportunity here, don't panic, it's a 50-50, even if he takes that.

2:31:30 > 2:31:37Be patient, recycle. One of the things Warren Gatland spoke about

2:31:37 > 2:31:45before the Lions tour was the advantage of how the southern

2:31:45 > 2:31:49hemisphere teams handle the ball but I've thought the Welsh guys looked

2:31:49 > 2:31:56fantastic with how they held the ball.Did that 10-12 to playmaker

2:31:56 > 2:32:06access -- axis work successfully enough to stick with it?I think it

2:32:06 > 2:32:10worked. A lot of teams have a couple of forwards playing of ten and there

2:32:10 > 2:32:24is the the option to have something behind that... When you are in the

2:32:24 > 2:32:27defensive line, it's a lot harder to defend teams who are trying to

2:32:27 > 2:32:31stretch the whole time and teams who go narrower and narrower. I thought

2:32:31 > 2:32:35the game plan was pretty good and the 10-12 axis help them play more

2:32:35 > 2:32:38expansively.I know you want to talk about options and making the right

2:32:38 > 2:32:41decision and you want to talk about a scrum right at the end when

2:32:41 > 2:32:45Australia were down to seven men in the scrum.They were in trouble in

2:32:45 > 2:32:49the scrum at this stage and beast arm, they'd been under pressure,

2:32:49 > 2:32:54given away a few penalties, there was plenty of time on McLaughin but

2:32:54 > 2:32:58the scrum has collapsed it. I don't think Glen Jackson has told the

2:32:58 > 2:33:03Welsh nine to use it but he picks it up and plays it and they didn't get

2:33:03 > 2:33:07over, they didn't score, Alun Wyn Jones knocked it not long after

2:33:07 > 2:33:11this. I just think the number nine should have stood back from the

2:33:11 > 2:33:16scrum and let him penalised the Australians or reset the scrum and

2:33:16 > 2:33:19go again and get your penalty try, because I do believe it was

2:33:19 > 2:33:23inevitable.That though shows a great defensive effort from the

2:33:23 > 2:33:27Australians and a team that week in, week out is playing at the top of

2:33:27 > 2:33:34their game.Definitely. They showed that a buyer to get -- their desire

2:33:34 > 2:33:38to get the tackles. Michael Hooper will be a little disappointed with

2:33:38 > 2:33:43the style of penalties, silly penalties, but they have the desire

2:33:43 > 2:33:47to get off the line, hit the worst, make it difficult for them to score.

2:33:47 > 2:33:51For all the positives we are looking for for Wales, we are also

2:33:51 > 2:33:56forgetting one thing. You weren't playing. Moriarty, George North.

2:33:56 > 2:34:00There are a lot of players to come into this side, so that is a big

2:34:00 > 2:34:04tick for the box.That was the biggest positive for me today. Owen

2:34:04 > 2:34:10Williams and Steffan Evans looked like they had had 20 or 30 caps.

2:34:10 > 2:34:13Back home, when we were questioning if they could step up to this level,

2:34:13 > 2:34:17they really did today. Another step in the right direction for the Welsh

2:34:17 > 2:34:22side.I must mention one more thing, a lot of people very unhappy around

2:34:22 > 2:34:27us about not getting into the game at the start with many thousands

2:34:27 > 2:34:31outside at the start of the match. Most of them had got in by the time

2:34:31 > 2:34:38Stef Evans scored his try in the first half but the game began with

2:34:38 > 2:34:43the Stadium about two thirds full. I must just read this data. The Welsh

2:34:43 > 2:34:46Rugby union have said, the gates were opened three hours before

2:34:46 > 2:34:50kick-off and the Welsh Rugby union told everybody who was coming today

2:34:50 > 2:34:54of the need to get to the stadium early to avoid delays. We e-mailed

2:34:54 > 2:34:59all ticket purchases and had great support from our media, police and

2:34:59 > 2:35:04purchasing partners. Safety and security is important and the new

2:35:04 > 2:35:09search policy is modern and fit for purpose. We urge fans to allow more

2:35:09 > 2:35:13time to enter the stadium in future. The messages out that the onus for

2:35:13 > 2:35:17people coming here for the coming three weeks to get here earlier.

2:35:17 > 2:35:21There were a lot of people disappointed to miss the first

2:35:21 > 2:35:25quarter of the match today. So, in the round, what do we draw from

2:35:25 > 2:35:31today? In three weeks' time, we will talk a great deal about whether

2:35:31 > 2:35:34Northern and southern hemispheres sit but did we learn anything today

2:35:34 > 2:35:39about where the two elements of the game are going, do we think?I think

2:35:39 > 2:35:44it's another big step forward for Australia. All the confidence they

2:35:44 > 2:35:47have gained in the last few weeks would have been bashed if they had

2:35:47 > 2:35:51lost today. They have come and scored four tries today. It's a big

2:35:51 > 2:35:59step forward for Wales as well. They won't be disappointed -- they will

2:35:59 > 2:36:03be disappointed with the loss.They have to be disappointed. We are

2:36:03 > 2:36:07looking for positives but ultimately you have lost the 13th game in a row

2:36:07 > 2:36:10against Australia. It was more frustrating in some ways than last

2:36:10 > 2:36:15year. Last year they were totally played off the park and this year

2:36:15 > 2:36:19they didn't take their opportunities.Moving forward, it is

2:36:19 > 2:36:23Georgia next, this time last year we played Japan and got through that

2:36:23 > 2:36:27game by the skin of it. It's making sure that if we want to play this

2:36:27 > 2:36:30expansive game plan, we need to improve on that next week. Perhaps

2:36:30 > 2:36:34play a slightly tighter game next week that the Georgians would like

2:36:34 > 2:36:38to play, stick to what we are doing, do what we did against Georgia -- do

2:36:38 > 2:36:43what we did against Australia against Georgia next week.If

2:36:43 > 2:36:47tonight sort of down time now and then tomorrow analysis from the word

2:36:47 > 2:36:52go?Tomorrow will be pretty much off. The coaches will be deep into

2:36:52 > 2:36:56their laptops, looking at what is going on. With Wales, we have the

2:36:56 > 2:37:00luxury that most of the guys live within an hour of the training base

2:37:00 > 2:37:03so most of the guys will go home, have Sunday with their families and

2:37:03 > 2:37:08then Monday they will get down to the analysis. Monday is still a

2:37:08 > 2:37:12light day. International rugby, it takes you three days to recover

2:37:12 > 2:37:16properly. The next proper training day will be Tuesday but they will

2:37:16 > 2:37:24assemble on Monday and assess things.Do you get sent the stats

2:37:24 > 2:37:31tomorrow though?Oh, you go into the team room and everything is on the

2:37:31 > 2:37:35screen. There was no hiding place. That is international rugby.

2:37:35 > 2:37:39Everything is under the microscope and there is no hiding and that's

2:37:39 > 2:37:43how it should be.Australia will go forward full of confidence?Oh,

2:37:43 > 2:37:50absolutely. England have played really well under Eddie so it's

2:37:50 > 2:37:54going to be a huge one. Everyone will have marked it on their

2:37:54 > 2:37:59calendar. We get to play England at Twickenham, fantastic stadium, great

2:37:59 > 2:38:02place to play and hopefully we can get one over an English side who are

2:38:02 > 2:38:05playing really well at the moment. We will show you all the

2:38:05 > 2:38:09international scores from around Europe in a moment but I wanted to

2:38:09 > 2:38:13ask you, Paul, you are becoming a big statesman of the game and there

2:38:13 > 2:38:16has been a big thing this week about the situation involving Samoa at the

2:38:16 > 2:38:21moment and the Rugby union are giving them £75,000 out of £10

2:38:21 > 2:38:27million gate or it is in a couple of weeks' time. Rugby union will suffer

2:38:27 > 2:38:31if the rich keep getting richer and the poor kid getting poorer, so what

2:38:31 > 2:38:36is to be done about it?The professional players Association

2:38:36 > 2:38:39called that 75,000 a kind of band aid and it's not a long-term

2:38:39 > 2:38:43solution. I think it's really important for the international game

2:38:43 > 2:38:49to have all these countries strong, so Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, really,

2:38:49 > 2:38:53really strong, but a lot of Tier two nations don't have a sustainable

2:38:53 > 2:38:59model I suppose for playing -- paying their players, so we have our

2:38:59 > 2:39:01autumn internationals as an opportunity for the home nations to

2:39:01 > 2:39:11make money, the summer tours, the Lions tour, but the Tier two level

2:39:11 > 2:39:15don't have a sustainable way of paying their players. We see how

2:39:15 > 2:39:19much it brings to the game when Fiji, Tonga and Samoa are strong.

2:39:19 > 2:39:22Like today when they played Scotland, we need to make sure they

2:39:22 > 2:39:27play more of those games.Here are the scores on a lot of matches,

2:39:27 > 2:39:30interesting games that have taken place around Europe today.

2:39:38 > 2:39:45Paul, look at that Ireland score. It was 17-3 when I last checked.

2:39:45 > 2:39:53Goodness me, that is a walloping. Yes, that is a record score for us.

2:39:53 > 2:39:57I suppose from a Welsh point of view that makes this game even more

2:39:57 > 2:40:01frustrating. Most of those players play in the same league as the

2:40:01 > 2:40:04Welsh, so how can they get that score against a much improved South

2:40:04 > 2:40:09African team?I do think that is something Ireland do, evolve slowly

2:40:09 > 2:40:13rather than making big jumps. There is all this talk about the first

2:40:13 > 2:40:14receiver with Wales and it's a

2:40:14 > 2:40:14is all this talk about the first receiver with Wales and it's a big

2:40:14 > 2:40:18jump in terms of how they change, but Ireland kind of keep evolving

2:40:18 > 2:40:23slowly and it works quite well for them. They don't always win, but

2:40:23 > 2:40:27they can keep clocking up victories while improving.I think we can hear

2:40:27 > 2:40:33from the Australian coach now. He is with Ross.

2:40:33 > 2:40:37Michael, 13 consecutive win over Wales. You like coming to Cardiff,

2:40:37 > 2:40:46I'd think it's fair to say?It is such a great place to play rugby.

2:40:46 > 2:40:49The crowd, the stadium and the history of rugby in this country, it

2:40:49 > 2:40:57makes you want to play rugby and for the Welsh players to have the

2:40:57 > 2:41:00opportunity to play here all the time, it must be a real thrill. A

2:41:00 > 2:41:05lot of our players are new to test matches in Europe, maybe not all of

2:41:05 > 2:41:09them played, but to come out to a cauldron like this and play test

2:41:09 > 2:41:13rugby, I am jealous of the lads because it must be an unbelievable

2:41:13 > 2:41:16experience. We just hung in there today. I thought Wales played really
