Wales v Georgia

0:00:33 > 0:00:39November at its busiest, autumn at its most familiar.What a tackle

0:00:39 > 0:00:45that is.Comes away with it. Everybody went with the dummy ball.

0:00:45 > 0:00:54Now for the brand-new, the totally unfamiliar. They are called the tier

0:00:54 > 0:00:59two countries buzz they make wells their target. And they love playing

0:00:59 > 0:01:08in Cardiff.Another win in Cardiff. It has become a Welsh trend, a

0:01:08 > 0:01:11wobble in the autumn, hit a jarring note.

0:01:11 > 0:01:16Nervous November. It's all going horribly wrong for

0:01:16 > 0:01:23Wales. In the autumn series. Can Georgia now upset Wales? They

0:01:23 > 0:01:29have a grand plan to play in the big time, full-time. For Georgia, this

0:01:29 > 0:01:38is the chance of a rugby lifetime. And we expect a crowd of over 50,000

0:01:38 > 0:01:42fans for the first ever meet offing Wales and Georgia attest level.

0:01:42 > 0:01:48Georgia arrived confident after a big win against Canada last weekend,

0:01:48 > 0:01:51the coach has resisted making any change, what will be be a big

0:01:51 > 0:01:54opportunity to show the rugby world their ambition to play in the six

0:01:54 > 0:01:59nations is warranted. Warren Gatland has done the

0:01:59 > 0:02:05opposite. He has made 15 changes to Wales, a lot was made of Wales'

0:02:05 > 0:02:09attacking style, and the man to orchestrate that is Rhys Priestland.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13He last started for Wales in 2015. Today's match will kick off a very

0:02:13 > 0:02:18busy one for international rugby, for all the home nation, we will

0:02:18 > 0:02:21have highlighted of England Australia later but you don't want

0:02:21 > 0:02:27to miss out on our coverage of Scotland New Zealand, that is on BBC

0:02:27 > 0:02:36Two. Alongside me our three former British and Irish Lions and Wales

0:02:36 > 0:02:42legends. Jeremy Guscott is in the middle of a Williams sandwich.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47Before get stuck into this, let us have a word on the decision this

0:02:47 > 0:02:51week to award the 20023 Rugby World Cup to France. A bit of controversy

0:02:51 > 0:02:55in the journey to get there, Wales and Scotland didn't back Ireland's

0:02:55 > 0:03:03bid, what do you make of it?I had a lot of stick on what's up from my

0:03:03 > 0:03:09Irish mate, we expected it to be going of to Ireland with the

0:03:09 > 0:03:14preparation, France, they were hosting it not long ago.2007.It I

0:03:14 > 0:03:21don't feel that long ago to me. It is a shame for the Irish.Ultimately

0:03:21 > 0:03:25professionalism in sport, it has come down to money, the sort of

0:03:25 > 0:03:28lesser countries voted for France because they will get a lot more

0:03:28 > 0:03:33money out of it.We have seen with Samoa, the second tier nations, the

0:03:33 > 0:03:38funding need to be looked at, if they can generate more revenue it is

0:03:38 > 0:03:46the right decision.The Rugby World Cup has to generate the most money

0:03:46 > 0:03:50and France is the place.Let us talk about Wales and their new style

0:03:50 > 0:03:54exhibited last week.It is not before time. I think if you a player

0:03:54 > 0:03:59you will enjoy playing like this, what they have to come to terms with

0:03:59 > 0:04:04now, is to get the halfbacks to boss where and when, to get this passing

0:04:04 > 0:04:08down the linetor, get it to the speedsters, the players who are

0:04:08 > 0:04:11exciting and that is what they have to come to terms with. I thought

0:04:11 > 0:04:15they were, well they were exploring it last season, now they have gone

0:04:15 > 0:04:20full lot to well the two playmakers at 10 and 12. I wish them luck. I

0:04:20 > 0:04:24hope it is successful. Adds a former player, that is how I wanted to

0:04:24 > 0:04:27play, I am sure that is how Shane wanted to play and Martin at a

0:04:27 > 0:04:32stretch.You will make mistakes when you are transitioning.They played

0:04:32 > 0:04:37in the wrong areas last week, we have to give them applause for how

0:04:37 > 0:04:41they went out to play. You don't have to play fancy rugby, so it was

0:04:41 > 0:04:45a learning experience, it was an improvement. I was pleased with the

0:04:45 > 0:04:48forwards passing the ball. We haven't seen that for a long time.

0:04:48 > 0:04:53So going to take time, there will be mistakes but hopefully not today.

0:04:53 > 0:04:59Would you not have expected the following week to back it with up

0:04:59 > 0:05:03with a similar selection, 15 changes to this Wales starting line up, what

0:05:03 > 0:05:11do you make of his thinking behind this?I am glad he decided to make

0:05:11 > 0:05:16changes, perhaps think a gamble that should have been made 12 months ago.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20There was rankings and seedings on the cards but we seem to be 12

0:05:20 > 0:05:26Mondays be signed some team, especially England. The way that

0:05:26 > 0:05:31Wales played, we have players like Steffan Evans who looks for gaps,

0:05:31 > 0:05:38touches the ball 15 times plus. Rob Evans throwing dummy pass, we have

0:05:38 > 0:05:44the personnel, perhaps this should have come 12 months earlier.This is

0:05:44 > 0:05:47a fixture, this second tier fixture, last year it was their last minute,

0:05:47 > 0:05:53the win over Japan, they have had defeats to Samoa, a draw with Fiji.

0:05:53 > 0:05:58I believe the thinking has to be the World Cup 2019. For me the back-line

0:05:58 > 0:06:02is tremendously strong, the pack is inexperienced, but in a World Cup

0:06:02 > 0:06:07scenario they will get the gape, in the past, in the autumn, it has been

0:06:07 > 0:06:10a shambolic performance because the new players come in. I hope the

0:06:10 > 0:06:14experience of Lydiate, and the back room, if you play together you play

0:06:14 > 0:06:18well you will push the guys we think are in front of you. If they do this

0:06:18 > 0:06:23side has the capability putting ten, 15, 20 points clear of this Georgian

0:06:23 > 0:06:28side.When you make that amount of change, as an opposition coach, in

0:06:28 > 0:06:31addition worth his assault, it is motivation for the opposition, they

0:06:31 > 0:06:36will say they are disrespecting you, it is a Wales A team today. There is

0:06:36 > 0:06:41no qualms about that, but and this team, we struggle against the second

0:06:41 > 0:06:45tier nations.This is a team that really has great intent, Georgia at

0:06:45 > 0:06:49being at the top table and playing with the big boy, they have said

0:06:49 > 0:06:54they feel they have a right to be in the six nation, they are a above

0:06:54 > 0:06:58Italy in world rankings, this is a chance for them to take a big scalp.

0:06:58 > 0:07:03It is a shop window, a huge opportunity. I watched them last

0:07:03 > 0:07:07week, not only where they physical but they have a platform behind as

0:07:07 > 0:07:14well. Cracking tries and they play with intent. They mix it up. They

0:07:14 > 0:07:19hit over gain line and they took a team to be reckon with. They could

0:07:19 > 0:07:26be a slippery one for Wales.They could be slippery. Georgia have to

0:07:26 > 0:07:29play unbelievable rugby they, they have been going on about we should

0:07:29 > 0:07:33be in the six nation, they have demolished everybody in the second

0:07:33 > 0:07:37tier but if you have aspiration, you talk the talk, you walk the walk,

0:07:37 > 0:07:41they got hammered by Scotland last autumn. They have to be within ten

0:07:41 > 0:07:46points to talk about replacing Italy.No doubt it's a big occasion

0:07:46 > 0:07:52for Georgia. All the second nations love coming here. This is one of the

0:07:52 > 0:07:56back room staff coming out to great acclaim, he would have enjoyed that

0:07:56 > 0:08:01home. Will they remember today, though? Let us get more insight into

0:08:01 > 0:08:09Georgia. Yes, thank you. Anton knows what it is is like to play here. You

0:08:09 > 0:08:15know what it is like to play in front of big crowds. Your stadium

0:08:15 > 0:08:22holds this sort of crowds.It's a big chance to play, it is something

0:08:22 > 0:08:29to tell your kids after the ages we have already played. Boys they know

0:08:29 > 0:08:34that how lucky you have to play in principality, against the Welsh.Now

0:08:34 > 0:08:37we know all about Georgia, we know what they like, we have seen the

0:08:37 > 0:08:45warming up. They love a scrum, a driving line-out. Will we see the

0:08:45 > 0:08:49likes of Matiashvili, that wonderful try that has gone viral. The

0:08:49 > 0:08:56evidence of that they have players with flair as well.Yes, it is young

0:08:56 > 0:09:04talented, progress in every game, every week, so he took the place of

0:09:04 > 0:09:09a player who had more than 100 caps. He tells himself he is a rising

0:09:09 > 0:09:13star.We have heard the guys in the studio talking about the changes

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Wales have made, a new team to the one that lost to Australia here last

0:09:17 > 0:09:22week, you have been speaking to some of the Georgian player, how are they

0:09:22 > 0:09:28interpreting the changes?They were frustrated. I think they held more,

0:09:28 > 0:09:34they give them more, more power to play against us, like a second team,

0:09:34 > 0:09:38like the media say, it is a second team but it is a dangerous team, the

0:09:38 > 0:09:43Welsh.I think Anton fancies this one. Back to you. If you haven't

0:09:43 > 0:09:48seen that try it is sin credible. He buzz a down hill skier as well. You

0:09:48 > 0:09:55want to come in on him.She is a tremendous talent. He is short,

0:09:55 > 0:10:02quick, and...Remind you of anyone? He is not that good! So gifted,

0:10:02 > 0:10:07talented. One to watch out for.That was the official line on Georgian

0:10:07 > 0:10:11rugby from Anton there, let us get something more informal now, I am

0:10:11 > 0:10:16not sure if you have listened to or seen any of the podcasts which are

0:10:16 > 0:10:19available on the BBC online if you haven't. Well worth having a look

0:10:19 > 0:10:25at. What, we decided to send them out to get the low-down on Georgian

0:10:25 > 0:10:34rugby. You have been tasked to travel to

0:10:34 > 0:10:39find out more about the Georgian rugby team. We have arranged for you

0:10:39 > 0:10:43to meet with people while you are out there, be on your best

0:10:43 > 0:10:47behaviour, you flight leaves in two hours.Who do you have such a big

0:10:47 > 0:10:57bag.It is really light. Look. See? Told you.

0:11:06 > 0:11:16Look at the quads on that reserve prop. Absolutely quadzilla. You want

0:11:16 > 0:11:20to play against tier one sides, how important is the game?This is a

0:11:20 > 0:11:24great opportunity for us, this is a great opportunity to prove ourself

0:11:24 > 0:11:29that we, we deserve a chance to play Six Nations.We can't control

0:11:29 > 0:11:35whether or not we go in, we can control how we perform. We get

0:11:35 > 0:11:38limited opportunities against the tier one sides so every game against

0:11:38 > 0:11:45them is important. What surprised me they are big

0:11:45 > 0:11:47hundreds. But, quite athletic as well.

0:11:49 > 0:11:55-- lumps. I tell you what, it is not a myth,

0:11:55 > 0:12:05there is some proper big united about.Even I am feeling outof it.

0:12:05 > 0:12:14There is a secret ingredient I know about. I will show you.

0:12:14 > 0:12:20Thank you for lending me your kit.I would have done it myself but my

0:12:20 > 0:12:25asthma is back.You know what I'm like when I turn.Start slow and rip

0:12:25 > 0:12:30his arms off, do you understand me, no retreat no surrender, imagine he

0:12:30 > 0:12:38is jiffy.Jiffy, jiffy.David you might need a safe word. Get what you

0:12:38 > 0:12:45want.Grand Slam.

0:12:51 > 0:12:57You still want to walk my dog Tuesday? Tuesday? Shanks, quiet I'm

0:12:57 > 0:13:02on the phone to Nugget.Massive strength.The scrum is the strength.

0:13:02 > 0:13:08We have been round a bit. We see them in the gym, they are big

0:13:08 > 0:13:11muscular alpha males so the scrum is almost the embodiment of what they

0:13:11 > 0:13:15want to be as men on the field, so it is no surprise they have a great

0:13:15 > 0:13:20scrum. The line-out is different. You need power and aggression but

0:13:20 > 0:13:24you need timing. It's a delicate art form, the line-out. That is where we

0:13:24 > 0:13:28will see against teams like Walers, that is where will see if they have

0:13:28 > 0:13:37the detail yet. We'lls.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Georgie, they won't let us up. Can you buzz us up or something. Cheers

0:13:40 > 0:13:46mate. See you in a second.Was that really the Prime Minister?Yes.How

0:13:46 > 0:13:52do you know him?Went to school together. Used to run the tuck shop.

0:13:52 > 0:13:57How big a moment is it for you to meet David and me.That is is a

0:13:57 > 0:14:01great privilege.That is a joke. How big a moment is it for Georgian

0:14:01 > 0:14:05rugby to be playing Wales on Saturday?This is a great

0:14:05 > 0:14:10opportunity, of course we are very proud of our national team, it is in

0:14:10 > 0:14:16our blood, and we have very proud, and I believe that our rugby players

0:14:16 > 0:14:23will have a great game in Wales.I presume should Georgia beat Wales

0:14:23 > 0:14:30you will declare a national holiday for all.Yes absolutely!

0:14:30 > 0:14:37Thank you to those two for that interesting social logical look at

0:14:37 > 0:14:44Georgian rugby, and they make some good points, it has loved wrestling

0:14:44 > 0:14:48and produced strong men, ironically the pack is heavier for Wales.The

0:14:48 > 0:14:52whole Welsh 15 is a bigger side. The Georgians will have that natural

0:14:52 > 0:14:57strength f you like, the use of the wrestling, so I think all the myth

0:14:57 > 0:15:01of a huge Georgian team doesn't stand today when the Welsh side is

0:15:01 > 0:15:06bigger.Naturally they are but the way the professional game has

0:15:06 > 0:15:09progressed, South Africans used to be so much bigger but they are not.

0:15:09 > 0:15:14Everybody can be big it would seem. Let us hear from their coach Milton

0:15:14 > 0:15:21Hague. Milton, Warren Gatland has made 15 change, do you see this as

0:15:21 > 0:15:25your best chance of victory against a tier won nation?It is a

0:15:25 > 0:15:31opportunity. Regardless of who it is, I am sure each Welsh player it

0:15:31 > 0:15:36will bring their energy and enthusiasm. As I said yesterday it

0:15:36 > 0:15:41is a double edge sword, I think the people that take the places will

0:15:41 > 0:15:45certainly bring their A-game, that is for sure. Will have there is a

0:15:45 > 0:15:49lot of inexperience in the tight five, Georgia, you like a driving

0:15:49 > 0:15:54line-out, is that an area you will look to target? That is part of our

0:15:54 > 0:16:01game, part of our DNA. We like the facets of the game. To win game like

0:16:01 > 0:16:05this, again a good Welsh team you will have do more that that, we have

0:16:05 > 0:16:09talked about that all week, I have reminded them in a meeting ten

0:16:09 > 0:16:15minutes ago. So we will see how we go, it is a fantastic atmosphere, it

0:16:15 > 0:16:20is a fantastic crowd. We look forward to it.OK, let us turn our

0:16:20 > 0:16:25attention to Wales and among one of the interesting selection choices

0:16:25 > 0:16:30from Warren Gatland is putting Rhys Priestland back in the starting line

0:16:30 > 0:16:36up. Let us get the thoughts of one of Wales number ten, Jonathan

0:16:36 > 0:16:42Davies, it is fair to say, isn't it, that this is, has caught the

0:16:42 > 0:16:45imagination or the headline, he hasn't had the easiest time with

0:16:45 > 0:16:53some of the Welsh press and the fans.When he plays well he is the

0:16:53 > 0:16:56most gifted attacking we have. He has great distribution, good

0:16:56 > 0:17:00communication, if you look back at the 2011 World Cup, when he was at

0:17:00 > 0:17:05his pomp. We looked very dangerous and did very well in the World Cup.

0:17:05 > 0:17:12So he is playing well now, he is playing often for Bath. It is

0:17:12 > 0:17:17playing the game in the right airias especially in the Georgian pack,

0:17:17 > 0:17:21that is their strength, we know that, for me it is making the

0:17:21 > 0:17:25decisions, but, he has got to make the right decision because if the

0:17:25 > 0:17:29pack is going to be on back foot, you kick and play in the right area,

0:17:29 > 0:17:34but I am pleased he is playing a stand-off. I am pleased that

0:17:34 > 0:17:38Williams is playing at full-back. Why does the number ten get so much

0:17:38 > 0:17:43attention in Wales do you think?It is the most important position on

0:17:43 > 0:17:48the field, really. All the gifted players play in that position.I

0:17:48 > 0:17:53have some differing opinions in the studio.All of them wanted to be

0:17:53 > 0:18:01number ten really. I bet they started at number ten in school. If

0:18:01 > 0:18:06you look back to Cliff Morgan and all those, Neil Jenkin, Steven Joan,

0:18:06 > 0:18:10it has got the nation's imagine night. They love to play number ten,

0:18:10 > 0:18:13he is the one that controls and is the link between the forwards and

0:18:13 > 0:18:17the back, I don't think that has changed. It has gone more defensive

0:18:17 > 0:18:21and players are fitter, but the number ten still calls the shot.

0:18:21 > 0:18:28When he is on form, like we have seen with Foley, you know, he is a

0:18:28 > 0:18:33pleasure to watch at his best. Fingers crossed. I hope Priestland

0:18:33 > 0:18:39will have a really big game.Thank you Jiffy, hopefully he will be on

0:18:39 > 0:18:43song, the music is ringing out here, we did have a chat with Warren

0:18:43 > 0:18:53Gatland in a quieter corner a little time ago. Warren, 15 changes if you

0:18:53 > 0:18:58include Liam Williams positional switchIt is always a risk, the way

0:18:58 > 0:19:02the guys have trained, particularly Thursday, and yesterday and they

0:19:02 > 0:19:07kept, they have been outstanding, so it's a bit nerve-wracking but

0:19:07 > 0:19:14exciting as well, it is a news mix between experience and nine and ten,

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Williams, back at full-back, and Lydiate kept in the side, not front

0:19:17 > 0:19:21and some youngsters are getting an opportunity. It is pretty exciting.

0:19:21 > 0:19:27Milton Hague has told me scrummaging is in the Georgian's DNA, do you

0:19:27 > 0:19:31expect a dog fight up front?We have worked hard on that this week, so

0:19:31 > 0:19:35the technical thing is to keep the ball on the park and keep playing

0:19:35 > 0:19:39with momentum and tempo and try and limit the number of set piece punts

0:19:39 > 0:19:44they get, so look back at last week, the first half the number of turn

0:19:44 > 0:19:48overs and mistakes we made, excellent second half, looking to

0:19:48 > 0:19:53improve on last weekend. Let us talk about one of the most

0:19:53 > 0:19:57interesting of the selections, it is no just a name that is particularly

0:19:57 > 0:20:01familiar but Seb Davis is not a number eight, and so he is playing

0:20:01 > 0:20:05out of position. I have heard him in the week saying it is just a number

0:20:05 > 0:20:12on my back. It is a big ask.Nobody thought this was coming. He is a

0:20:12 > 0:20:18huge talent. He stood out in the second row, we have seen, you know,

0:20:18 > 0:20:25Itoje goes from second to six. To go from second to eight is a big ask.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29It is a specialist position. Controlling the ball at the back.

0:20:29 > 0:20:35You stay back and take the high ball from kick, he used to play outside

0:20:35 > 0:20:40half and inside centre. It's a big ask for him today and I hope it goes

0:20:40 > 0:20:44well.Sam cross who is more well-known as Olympic medallists as

0:20:44 > 0:20:48a sevens player, so there is a lot of players that haven't got

0:20:48 > 0:20:54experience at this level or this kind of environment but with a team

0:20:54 > 0:21:01of this cape bit.It is always a cam -- gamble. Sam cross is very

0:21:01 > 0:21:05athletic, perhaps he is something different and alternative to what

0:21:05 > 0:21:12Wales have had in the past. He is very good. He is inexperienced. They

0:21:12 > 0:21:16must see something special in him. The fact that Navidi played very

0:21:16 > 0:21:20well last week, I thought. He probably would have really loved to

0:21:20 > 0:21:23have played today. Sam Cross is getting that chance. This is is a

0:21:23 > 0:21:27chance for him. He is the shop window.You would think Cross can

0:21:27 > 0:21:32read the game. He will have pace, hands and good distribution. And the

0:21:32 > 0:21:40way Wales are playing at the moment, he fits the template, more so than

0:21:40 > 0:21:43possibly Warburton. It could fit nicely.The key to this game is

0:21:43 > 0:21:51numbers one to five. The guys in front of those, they need this plait

0:21:51 > 0:21:57forment even to get parity with the Georgians. Expect Wales to have a o

0:21:57 > 0:22:03lot of quick penalties.You only have 21 caps in the front three,

0:22:03 > 0:22:08which if you look, the pack is lighter but in terms of experience

0:22:08 > 0:22:14they have 600 caps.When you are in the middle of the scrum, the only

0:22:14 > 0:22:22guy is behind you. A big game for Kristian Dacey.It sounds like the

0:22:22 > 0:22:31Welsh are nervous about this game? We are always nervous.Surely be

0:22:31 > 0:22:34have the confidence and ability of the guys who are full-time

0:22:34 > 0:22:37professional, I know a lot of the Georgians play in Europe. There so

0:22:37 > 0:22:43much talent in this Welsh side. It has to happen. It is whether they

0:22:43 > 0:22:49can gel as a team.They have come a long way we know and that first test

0:22:49 > 0:22:53against England in 2003, when they were smashed, but today they are

0:22:53 > 0:23:02hoping history. They want to send out a good team. They can also make

0:23:02 > 0:23:08a name for themselves as we approach kick off. Let us join our commentary

0:23:08 > 0:23:10team Eddie Butler and Jonathan Davies.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13Good afternoon. The tunnel bathed in

0:23:15 > 0:23:24Wales at home for the second of their autumn series but it's a very

0:23:24 > 0:23:28young Welsh team going out, to face the Georgians who have been plotting

0:23:28 > 0:23:36and planning for such an occasion for five years. And the New Zealand

0:23:36 > 0:23:40coach Milton Hague. Georgia want into the six nation, what is their

0:23:40 > 0:23:48message today?As you said they will look forward to this opportunity.

0:23:48 > 0:23:53This is the stage they want to be at. New style of Wales against the

0:23:53 > 0:24:11strong forwards of Georgia, so...

0:24:13 > 0:24:21It is a grand entrance for Sharikadze, the captain of Georgia

0:24:21 > 0:24:28and Dan Lydiate, captain of Wales for the third time.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32Warren Gatland, it is is a brave decision, you have to blood the

0:24:32 > 0:24:35youngsters or do you go for continuity in the autumn. It is

0:24:35 > 0:24:41playing in the right air yes for me and tempo, keep the tempo up, keep

0:24:41 > 0:24:47it a fast game. Keep it in play.The shot of the player alongside Rhys

0:24:47 > 0:24:53Priestland. Owen Watkins, huge talent.

0:25:03 > 0:25:14Leon Brown of the Dragons. Welsh front row.

0:25:29 > 0:25:39GEORGIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM

0:26:57 > 0:27:05# Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi

0:27:05 > 0:27:10# Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri

0:27:10 > 0:27:20# Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad

0:27:22 > 0:27:32# Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed. #

0:27:35 > 0:27:41# Gwlad, gwlad

0:27:41 > 0:27:48# Pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad

0:27:48 > 0:27:54# Tra mor yn fur i'r bur hoff bau

0:27:54 > 0:28:04# O bydded i'r heniaith barhau. #

0:28:21 > 0:28:27Over 50,000 here at principality staid you. For Wales Dan Lydiate the

0:28:27 > 0:28:31captain wearing six has twice as many caps, with 63, as the rest of

0:28:31 > 0:28:40the forwards, put together. Behind the scrum is invention with

0:28:40 > 0:28:48Priestland and Watkin. Liam Williams switches to full-back.

0:28:48 > 0:28:55Most of these forwards of Georgia play their rugby in France, two play

0:28:55 > 0:29:00in Bristol and one Bregvadze players Forbes a team in rush. -- Russia.

0:29:00 > 0:29:12The person to watch out for, the danger man Matiashvili, he is

0:29:12 > 0:29:26experienced every where. Georgia have been plotting for many a year

0:29:26 > 0:29:38for sup an occasion.If you look at the sides the forwards play for.

0:29:38 > 0:29:44That is their strength, the back-lines play for other teams.

0:29:44 > 0:29:49So it is the strength we all know that, but it is the decision make,

0:29:49 > 0:29:54cutting the mistakes out. I expect Wales to keep the style from last

0:29:54 > 0:29:59week, through the hands and move the Georgians around the field but

0:29:59 > 0:30:06trying to cut their errors out. The referee blows. Priestland starts, it

0:30:06 > 0:30:12is bang on the half way. Cory Hill goes up for Wales. Wales in grey.

0:30:12 > 0:30:23Charcoal grey today.

0:30:45 > 0:30:51Wales looking for that high tempo from the off. Happy to keep the ball

0:30:51 > 0:31:00in hand, keep the passes going. Alex Cuthbert back in the Welsh team.

0:31:00 > 0:31:08Mickey Smith the most experienced of Welsh forwards.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Leon Brown, he is mobile.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28Wales making ground George the Georgian 22.

0:31:41 > 0:31:51Smith clattered!

0:31:58 > 0:32:04By Viktor Kolelishvili.They got numbers in, but the Georgians did

0:32:04 > 0:32:18well to secure this ball. Now they need to clear it.

0:32:18 > 0:32:25Nar Nariashvili tries to find the clearing kick.He needs the kick to

0:32:25 > 0:32:30give the defenders a bit of respite. Lobzhanidze struggling to get the

0:32:30 > 0:32:38ball away from scrum-half.No one wants the ball to clear it.Nobody

0:32:38 > 0:32:46wants a line-out. That is the new game. They're still not going to

0:32:46 > 0:32:51have one unless the bounce is really wicked.You have to find touch

0:32:51 > 0:33:01there. Have a bit of respite.Wales have the penalty. Rhys Webb takes it

0:33:01 > 0:33:15quickly. Rhys Webb at full speed. The support from Watkins and Hill.

0:33:15 > 0:33:24Oh, just a little nudge forward. That is brilliant play by Rhys Webb.

0:33:24 > 0:33:31He taps it... Just didn't get the support. He takes a quick tap, he

0:33:31 > 0:33:37runs across, runs across, spots a forward there, straightens up.

0:33:37 > 0:33:42Support should have been with him. Davies with a great effort to get

0:33:42 > 0:33:49there, No 8, there he is, just had to hold the pass.We wondered about

0:33:49 > 0:33:55Davies being instinctively at No 8. That will do.There that is

0:33:55 > 0:34:03knock-on.All the talk about Rhys Webb this season was about his move

0:34:03 > 0:34:10to Toulon and will he play for Wales.It is a shame. I don't think

0:34:10 > 0:34:14anyone really knows what happened. But I know this guy wants to play

0:34:14 > 0:34:20for Wales and he is bitterly disappointed. They threw the ball

0:34:20 > 0:34:24about, slightly lateral, you have got to engage defenders, but it is

0:34:24 > 0:34:30clear from the first few minutes that Wales intend to keep the ball

0:34:30 > 0:34:35in play, play with high tempo and run the Georgians ragged. Being

0:34:35 > 0:34:40everything professional, there is a lot of semi professionals in the

0:34:40 > 0:34:43Georgian side, fitness will be key.

0:34:54 > 0:35:00Plenty of height and howers. Can they put any pressure on this

0:35:00 > 0:35:13Georgian scrum? It is starting to move in a good direction for Wales.

0:35:13 > 0:35:21That is good play by Bitsadze, the No 8. Georgia happy to keep it close

0:35:21 > 0:35:26to their own line.He has got to bang it and give the forwards a bit

0:35:26 > 0:35:31of rest.

0:35:36 > 0:35:42Wales up to the 10 metres line. Scott Williams pauses.

0:35:48 > 0:35:58There is space out there. Davies very much involved. The ex-centre it

0:35:58 > 0:36:04has to be said, Seb Davies. Then second row. Now a No 8.I think they

0:36:04 > 0:36:10have lost it. It was a good chase. They found touch, but it was a good

0:36:10 > 0:36:12defensive line.

0:36:17 > 0:36:21Scott Williams restored to the Welsh midfield.

0:36:29 > 0:36:36Advantage being played. Penalty advantage.Just take the three

0:36:36 > 0:36:45points.

0:36:54 > 0:37:00Chilachava in the front row.He had a real good scrummaging session

0:37:00 > 0:37:04behind closed doors against England. There is the penalty against the

0:37:04 > 0:37:12Georgian. Not releasing the ball. I think they will have, they're

0:37:12 > 0:37:18throwing everything and going wide all the time. I would like the

0:37:18 > 0:37:23forwards to take it up the middle. They're spreading, because they

0:37:23 > 0:37:30expect Wales to throw everything at them and put width on it.Rhys

0:37:30 > 0:37:34Preece land from in front. This would be a reward for the early

0:37:34 > 0:37:36Welsh pressure.

0:37:42 > 0:37:47Straight as a die, Wales take the lead. 3-0. You have got to take the

0:37:47 > 0:37:51points. They run the first one it was a bit further out. If it is

0:37:51 > 0:38:00there, you have got to take them, leave the scoreboard ticking over.

0:38:00 > 0:38:04The points will come in the last 15 minutes of each half. This is the

0:38:04 > 0:38:10first time the Georgians will have been in the Welsh half.And the

0:38:10 > 0:38:28Georgians split their forwards. Matiashvili restarts. Williams

0:38:28 > 0:38:30tackled by Mikautadze.

0:38:49 > 0:38:59Knocked by in by Khmaladze.I think they will put this over the

0:38:59 > 0:39:07touchline. That is what is happening. Kacharava offside. He is

0:39:07 > 0:39:13the one that will go up and decide whether - brilliant kick, great kick

0:39:13 > 0:39:20that is.Excellent kick down into the Georgian 22. Priestland looks

0:39:20 > 0:39:26calm and composed.The main thing is confident. He is playing

0:39:26 > 0:39:36exceptionally well. I hope his takes his Bath form into the game.Talking

0:39:36 > 0:39:41of availability for Wales and Webb can't reach that 60 point at which

0:39:41 > 0:39:48you can go abroad, Dan Biggar needs to play every game to hit 606789

0:39:48 > 0:39:57here comes -- to hit 60. Here comes Wales. Have they grounded it?That

0:39:57 > 0:40:12is going to be going TMO. That was a fantastic tackle by Lobzhanidze.

0:40:13 > 0:40:21REFEREE: Is it a try or not?Does he get this down? There he goes. Man

0:40:21 > 0:40:25and ball tackle. He has wrapped the ball up. It has gone under neath

0:40:25 > 0:40:34him. I think if he scored there he has done well, because that is a

0:40:34 > 0:40:42fantastic cover tackle. He has smothered the ball, wrapped his arm

0:40:42 > 0:40:50around it. Cuthbert has turned on to his left shoulder.Lobzhanidze is

0:40:50 > 0:40:55under Alex Cuthbert, but does Cuthbert slide it off the scrum

0:40:55 > 0:41:06half's leg?This might be the angle. It is a tremendous tackle. You

0:41:06 > 0:41:14cannot give that.Not according to the question asked.Great play by

0:41:14 > 0:41:21Wales though.REFEREE: No grounding, ball is held up.The TMO is not

0:41:21 > 0:41:32working and your mobile is out. Lobzhanidze has saved the try for

0:41:32 > 0:41:43Georgia. Still a good position for Wales. It might be coming Cuthbert's

0:41:43 > 0:41:48way. The Welsh formation now is interesting.They're all on the

0:41:48 > 0:41:54short side. Do you follow them or not? They haven't.They have just

0:41:54 > 0:42:04gone, they're going to drift here, which is dangerous. Dan Lydiate on

0:42:04 > 0:42:12the side of the scrum. Packing down on Nicky Smith.

0:42:39 > 0:42:44Good Georgian scrum. Davies does well. Amos has work to do. To

0:42:44 > 0:43:00Williams. It all comes back to the pressure exerted at the scrum.

0:43:03 > 0:43:10Georgia through Lobzhanidze. Does well to get it infield to Williams.

0:43:10 > 0:43:25Lobzhanidze involved again as the tackler. Whistle goes.I want you

0:43:25 > 0:43:30have to have a look at the last break down.There is a decision

0:43:30 > 0:43:41here. Foul play against Dacey, let's have a look. It is a call against

0:43:41 > 0:43:54Dacey from the TMO.Or is it Cory HIV?-- Corey Hill? I thought he

0:43:54 > 0:44:04said No 2.REFEREE: Against the black, No 4 black. It is out of the

0:44:04 > 0:44:10play. Shoulder shove on the body against you. Without violence it is

0:44:10 > 0:44:18penalty kick here.That is pathetic. It is a contact sport. Why would the

0:44:18 > 0:44:22TMO come in and just, and see that. They just don't understand it. How

0:44:22 > 0:44:28are you supposed to clear out in a ruck? Martin will know more, but

0:44:28 > 0:44:34just think, there is nothing wrong with that. The one thing on the play

0:44:34 > 0:44:38by Wales, I feel you don't have to score at every opportunity. They

0:44:38 > 0:44:42have got to build the pressure, build the phases, keep the ball in

0:44:42 > 0:44:47hand. They're rushing everything. It is not Barbarians game. Sometimes

0:44:47 > 0:44:54you have got to take the ball in, recycle it and go again.

0:45:07 > 0:45:10Interception, the referee is playing a Georgian advantage. It went

0:45:10 > 0:45:18forward. A risky pass though.Very risky, the Welsh defence was up.

0:45:18 > 0:45:22That is where they're going to struggle, the Georgians, they

0:45:22 > 0:45:28haven't got the ability behind to create anything. I just think that

0:45:28 > 0:45:35it is all about feel. If you get caught in your own 22 and the

0:45:35 > 0:45:37Georgian pack maybe they can score. I can't see them scoring from

0:45:37 > 0:45:55distance.They have a injury. It will be a Georgian line-out in the

0:45:55 > 0:46:01Welsh half. And we haven't been here a lot.No, apart from the restart.

0:46:01 > 0:46:07You can read that. We could read that from here. I think everyone in

0:46:07 > 0:46:15the crowd ran it. Cuthbert is playing well at the moment. When he

0:46:15 > 0:46:18lays often his confidence is up.

0:46:25 > 0:46:38Dacey just gets a finger tip to it. REFEREE: Ball knocked forward. That

0:46:38 > 0:46:44is my view.A little knock-on by Dacey.That is his view and that's

0:46:44 > 0:46:54the only one that counts. I would like to see the knock-on.Hmm.I

0:46:54 > 0:46:59don't think that is forward. That is back.

0:47:05 > 0:47:08First attacking opportunity for Georgia.

0:47:21 > 0:47:34The view from the referee.Good angle, good tackle.The captain

0:47:34 > 0:47:50Sharikadze. They do a lot of carrying through their front five.

0:47:50 > 0:47:53Mikautadze carries the ball a lot for them.

0:48:02 > 0:48:13Chance for Williams to counter. Matiashvili is covering. There is a

0:48:13 > 0:48:20loft space down there. The bounce is important. Matiashvili back in his

0:48:20 > 0:48:31own 22. A great follow up tackle by Priestland.They're very narrow at

0:48:31 > 0:48:37the moment, Georgia. The last man in the centre is the big second row.

0:48:43 > 0:48:56They have got numbers here.They went for the risky pass. Nemsadze to

0:48:56 > 0:49:19clear it up. Lobzhanidze is now tied up.Modebadze has quick feet.

0:49:21 > 0:49:28Lomidze is the London Irish player. That could be way back.That is a

0:49:28 > 0:49:37poor execution. Lomidze doesn't look confident kicking the ball.You

0:49:37 > 0:49:40think the pressure weals are exerting means there is not enough

0:49:40 > 0:49:48time. He likes more time than that. When you're tier 2, if you compete

0:49:48 > 0:49:53for everything, they're counter rucking, they're aggressive and

0:49:53 > 0:49:55maybe they're not accustomed to this.

0:50:01 > 0:50:08This is the off-loading game Wales like.They need to be direct. Just

0:50:08 > 0:50:13pick and drive. Suck those defenders in, because they have spread across

0:50:13 > 0:50:15the field.

0:50:19 > 0:50:23If they come left there is a big second row in the outside centre

0:50:23 > 0:50:30position. It has to be quick though. Watkin. Against his opposite number

0:50:30 > 0:50:34and the second row. And they haul him down.

0:50:50 > 0:50:52Wales still have it.

0:51:19 > 0:51:26Advantage for the high tackle being played.Great defence so far.

0:51:30 > 0:51:42No advantage. Wales will go back for the penalty. It is against

0:51:42 > 0:51:53Mikautadze.This has got to be a line-out. It is a flaw of the

0:51:53 > 0:51:58Georgian defence, they're comfortable apart from the Cuthbert

0:51:58 > 0:52:07break. They're holding the line well.The players know that if you

0:52:07 > 0:52:11go high, you're going to get penalised, but you wouldn't call

0:52:11 > 0:52:23that a dangerous tackle.No, I wouldn't. Give him a warning.Dacey

0:52:23 > 0:52:27of the Cardiff Blues, with a very busy start to the game. They want to

0:52:27 > 0:52:33make sure of the signal now.

0:52:40 > 0:52:44Dacey will want the ball at the back of this maul.

0:52:48 > 0:52:57Priestland on the leap. Amos for the line. Amos opens Wales' account! As

0:52:57 > 0:53:04a try-scorer.Yeah, a couple of run arounds in there. Holds the defence.

0:53:04 > 0:53:19They get the space out wide. Amos held his depth. Just watch here. The

0:53:19 > 0:53:26ball comes back. They do well the Georgian forwards. It is not going

0:53:26 > 0:53:31anywhere and Webb makes the call. Get it out.At least all the

0:53:31 > 0:53:37Georgian forwards have been drawn into the line-out.Watch the

0:53:37 > 0:53:51right-winger, he doesn't take his man,. An easy finish. All the

0:53:51 > 0:53:58pressure, just watch, he has no idea what he is doing the 14.Two tries

0:53:58 > 0:54:02in two games for Amos.

0:54:16 > 0:54:23Lovely kick.Lovely rhythm for the kicking. Wales into double figures.

0:54:23 > 0:54:26Wales will be relieved, for all the pressure they have had and field

0:54:26 > 0:54:31position, only three points on the scoreboard. That will just make them

0:54:31 > 0:54:37a lit more relaxed.

0:54:44 > 0:54:47Priestland is playing well and making the most of his

0:54:47 > 0:54:53opportunities.Amos still only 23. He has been the medical student,

0:54:53 > 0:55:00back from his shoulder injury. Here he is again.

0:55:06 > 0:55:12The Georgians will take that. Line-out.Do you think Amos catches

0:55:12 > 0:55:17the kick off, the restart and says, let's not mess here, after what

0:55:17 > 0:55:22happened against Australia when reception and exit strategy was all

0:55:22 > 0:55:29a bit way ward?Well you know, the restarts were a disaster for Wales.

0:55:29 > 0:55:33Even ending in Jonathan Davies getting the injury, which was sad

0:55:33 > 0:55:41and we wish him a quick recovery. Hill making contact with the jumper.

0:55:41 > 0:55:46REFEREE: Interfere in the air.I think he is going to go for goal

0:55:46 > 0:55:53here is he? No, he had a little look at it.

0:56:00 > 0:56:08Not a bad kick. He is looking for the five-metre line. Just touches

0:56:08 > 0:56:14him in the air, but you can't lay a hand on him. I don't think he was to

0:56:14 > 0:56:20blame for him falling over, but you can't put a hand on the jumper.It

0:56:20 > 0:56:26is also easy for the referee to see if you're that high in the air.

0:56:26 > 0:56:34Georgia will love a mauling opportunity. Bregvadze the hooker.

0:56:34 > 0:56:40They will give to it the scrum-half, Lobzhanidze.They went down the long

0:56:40 > 0:56:46side there. The winger wasn't there. He was very much on his own. Back to

0:56:46 > 0:56:53the heavy weights.

0:57:17 > 0:57:24The second row...Shane said last week they varied their attack and

0:57:24 > 0:57:34played the cross kick, the grubbers. Not scared to do it.Lomidze drives

0:57:34 > 0:57:47it up. Matiashvili. No ground yet for the prolific full-back.

0:57:57 > 0:58:06A well timed run by Nemsadze of Bristol. But Wales stop him. They're

0:58:06 > 0:58:15stuck outside the 22.The ball's a bit too slow. It is easy for the

0:58:15 > 0:58:22Welsh defenders to nail them then. Very good tackle by Smith. Georgia

0:58:22 > 0:58:26knocked back another half metre. Wales have got to keep their

0:58:26 > 0:58:36discipline now. Keep their composure.Watkin couldn't get at

0:58:36 > 0:58:49Matiashvili there, but the referee says play on.18 phases now.

0:58:51 > 0:59:01Smith tries to hold up.Two passes. Long ball. Watkin. Williams. Amos a

0:59:01 > 0:59:06long gallop to line. Amos into the 22. He is going to score his second

0:59:06 > 0:59:13of the game!That is the difference in quality. They try and try and try

0:59:13 > 0:59:23and then it is that one turn over, two passes, great execution. Amos is

0:59:23 > 0:59:27all over the second. Just watch the steal. Smith gets his hand in and

0:59:27 > 0:59:35rips it out. Good turn over, good awareness by Brown. It is easy,

0:59:35 > 0:59:48easy, take and give and finish. That is what you want for a winger.The

0:59:48 > 1:00:03new age of prop. Smith with the rip and the flip by Brown.

1:00:03 > 1:00:10Have you got a clear angle. ?I am going to have a look now, I have

1:00:10 > 1:00:16asked for all the angles. They have something to resolve.

1:00:16 > 1:00:22Whether the rip by Nicky Smith went up and forward.

1:00:22 > 1:00:27It is Conservative to say from this angle, I think. From that angle it

1:00:27 > 1:00:34has gone forward. The ball bounces miles in front of him.

1:00:34 > 1:00:40Difficult to say.What do you think? Goodness me, the ref is right there.

1:00:40 > 1:00:46He has a very good view of it. Does it come off the, does it come off

1:00:46 > 1:00:51Nariashvili as it goes out?Let us look at the rip.That is all the

1:00:51 > 1:00:57angle, for me, the ball clearly goes forward.For you the ball clearly

1:00:57 > 1:01:08goes forward.Yes.OK. No try. No try. Hallam Amos denied. Denied:

1:01:08 > 1:01:22He is Man of the Match so far. Forward, with the rip.

1:01:22 > 1:01:26That is the difference, that is the difference, you know, how clinical

1:01:26 > 1:01:37Wales are when the ball comes out.

1:01:41 > 1:01:45Wale vision to put that clean out of their minds, the disappointment,

1:01:45 > 1:01:48forget about it. -- Wales have.

1:01:48 > 1:01:53A lovely finish. Hallam Amos.

1:02:07 > 1:02:12Georgia have to thank their lucky star, they have gone from facing a

1:02:12 > 1:02:16conversion to having this attacking scrummage which becomes a penalty.

1:02:16 > 1:02:19They will take the point ofs. They will definitely take the points

1:02:19 > 1:02:29here. Bring it to a one score game.

1:02:31 > 1:02:37That is a ten pointer. Yes, from minus seven to possibly

1:02:37 > 1:02:47plus three. Nicky Smith, he has had a couple of

1:02:47 > 1:03:00minutes, hasn't he. I want a clear space, thank you.

1:03:00 > 1:03:11Matiashvili lines up the penalty.

1:03:14 > 1:03:17Has had very little toll do in attack so far, but this is to put

1:03:17 > 1:03:28Georgia on the board.

1:03:30 > 1:03:31Do in attack so far, but

1:03:47 > 1:03:53Matiashvili, flags go up and Georgia, instead of being 15, 17

1:03:53 > 1:04:04points down, they are now only 10-3 down.

1:04:11 > 1:04:17Not a happy bunch.No.Cory Hill. Well taken by the big second row.

1:04:17 > 1:04:26Lovely kick off. Good take. Priestland. Sam Beard, slightly

1:04:26 > 1:04:31risky but Wales should be be able to wriggle and present. And they do.

1:04:31 > 1:04:42Smith again. Brown, the front row union working together.

1:04:42 > 1:04:51Priestland. Sam Cross stretches, stays away from the touchline.

1:04:51 > 1:04:53Adam Beard, slightly risky but Wales should be be able to wriggle and

1:04:53 > 1:04:56present. And they do. Smith again. Brown, the front row union working

1:04:56 > 1:04:57together. Priestland. Sam Cross stretches,

1:04:57 > 1:04:59stays away from the touchline. Webb tries to fend off Nariashvili.

1:04:59 > 1:05:06Hallam Amos off his wing. Not getting far.

1:05:06 > 1:05:13Lsmomidze with the tackle. Smith. They need to be more direct now,

1:05:13 > 1:05:19they are just not committing anybody. Watch that den -- defensive

1:05:19 > 1:05:23line with the Georgian, they are not committing many people to the ruck

1:05:23 > 1:05:28or maul. Omidze with the tackle. Smith.

1:05:28 > 1:05:30They need to be more direct now, they are just not committing

1:05:30 > 1:05:33anybody. Watch that den -- defensive line with the Georgian, they are not

1:05:33 > 1:05:35committing many people to the ruck or maul. Some defenders go wide.

1:05:35 > 1:05:38Here he goes, Kristian Dacey tries to do that. Lydiate.

1:05:38 > 1:05:44That is where you have to target. The third man this is a forward.

1:05:44 > 1:05:50Usually a second or back rower.Sam Cross.Lomidze on that occasion.

1:05:50 > 1:05:54Patience has brought them this far. Yes.They are up to within striking

1:05:54 > 1:05:58range of the 22 at least. Considering they started in their

1:05:58 > 1:06:03own half. Priestland. Lydiate did well to read it there. That has gone

1:06:03 > 1:06:08backwards, now it has broken up a bit. Priestland has so much time he

1:06:08 > 1:06:22can stop. Liam Williams injects a bit of pace. Georgia the penalty.

1:06:22 > 1:06:26He has to look to see who is defending where, then target the

1:06:26 > 1:06:38bigger man. Usually it is the third man. As I said, it is either the

1:06:38 > 1:06:41second row, Modebadze, he is usually out there. Lomidze. They have to

1:06:41 > 1:06:47look up and say there is a man, attack him. I think they were

1:06:47 > 1:07:01waiting for Lydiate to hit the hole on that and he didn't read him.

1:07:02 > 1:07:07Bregvadze, the hooker, who, he is the one forward that plays in

1:07:07 > 1:07:14Russia, up in Siberia.31 minutes gone and both divide have made 63

1:07:14 > 1:07:19tackle, which is hardly anything in it and you just feel that Wales are

1:07:19 > 1:07:24dominant, where they are not. Adam Beard did well to get a finger

1:07:24 > 1:07:33the into it. The attempted break by Khmaladze. Lydiate, that is is a

1:07:33 > 1:07:43good stop on Bregvadze.

1:07:46 > 1:07:55Chilachava. Nemsadze has been penalised.

1:07:55 > 1:08:02OK, at the break down. Chilachava has been left down at the

1:08:02 > 1:08:10point of the penalty. Let us have a look at this.

1:08:10 > 1:08:25He is in from the side. Was that high?I think it is earlier

1:08:25 > 1:08:31than that. I think he was earlier. He is looking

1:08:31 > 1:08:33Let us have a look at this. He is in from the side.

1:08:33 > 1:08:36Was that high?I think it is earlier than that. I think he was earlier.

1:08:36 > 1:08:41He is looking at the screen going "What? What did I do wrong? "

1:08:41 > 1:08:52Mikautadze, this is the one I think. Round the neck.Saw on right hand

1:08:52 > 1:08:57side of the shot there, it's on the neck. You know.

1:09:00 > 1:09:08That is another... Just missed. Georgia keep the ball in play and

1:09:08 > 1:09:14back to Priestland so he has a play in open sections of the field. Liam

1:09:14 > 1:09:24Williams. Realised he was facing equal numbers at least. So Webb

1:09:24 > 1:09:32waits, back to Priestland. Change of tactic. Cuthbert offside.He just

1:09:32 > 1:09:37checked a King then and Cuthbert may should have checked his run. -- kick

1:09:37 > 1:09:38then.

1:09:41 > 1:09:46Top of your screen, he is offside. You just have to hold your run

1:09:46 > 1:09:50there, that is a silly penalty. Just have to hold your run, the referee

1:09:50 > 1:09:54is right in line, so an easy call for him, just hold your line a

1:09:54 > 1:10:03little bit. That is what they have do is vary it. They have to vary the

1:10:03 > 1:10:08attack, put the er grubber through. Georgia a bit more cautious with

1:10:08 > 1:10:22their penalty-kick. But he it wasn't close, was it.

1:10:28 > 1:10:32Well won by Wales on the Georgian front. They launch themselves out of

1:10:32 > 1:10:36defence. Liam Williams stabs it through. Through. Hallam Amos, was

1:10:36 > 1:10:41he checked? Cuthbert, husband pulled pack because he said I must be

1:10:41 > 1:10:51offside. Amos went for the deception but Nemsadze. He is the other wing.

1:10:51 > 1:11:04Koshadze, Cuthbert makes amend for anything. 22 drop out.He is very

1:11:04 > 1:11:11busy, I tell you what, Modebadze, he is away. One tackle. Lovely kick,

1:11:11 > 1:11:15but too much pace, he is never going to get there, the boast both of them

1:11:15 > 1:11:24get there before him. The final scramble, Cuthbert first

1:11:24 > 1:11:29back. Back. He had come back a long way Jonathan, he was way up there

1:11:29 > 1:11:35with the kick chase. Modebadze. Cross is waiting for the physio to

1:11:35 > 1:11:46come on.

1:11:49 > 1:12:00Long from Priestland. Khmaladze.

1:12:08 > 1:12:16Kolelishvili tackled by Webb. Well picked up Dacey, the hooker.

1:12:16 > 1:12:26Georgia try and keep the hooker up. Watkin.It is not advantage over.

1:12:26 > 1:12:31Wales, keep the ball alive. Webb, just sensed props in front of him,

1:12:31 > 1:12:40it is all too inviting. It is there for Wales and that I get

1:12:40 > 1:12:47the penalty.He is not going anywhere, is he?I say it is a

1:12:47 > 1:12:57tackle, it is a tackle.Chilachava has not moved at all.

1:12:57 > 1:13:03The Toulon prop, Rhys Priestland more conservative with his kick this

1:13:03 > 1:13:08time, but a good attacking opportunity.He is still only seven

1:13:08 > 1:13:12in front, they fought their way back into the game. Three points, I would

1:13:12 > 1:13:19have taken it there. But, Wales will be hoping now, just before

1:13:19 > 1:13:22half-time, good attacking position, they can get over.

1:13:22 > 1:13:29Rather than three point, seven points.

1:13:29 > 1:13:38Adam Beard has gone to the tail of the line-out. Now comes forward. A

1:13:38 > 1:13:42drive by Wales, a very good drive. Dacey in control.

1:13:42 > 1:13:51Cory Hill in front of him. One-stop says the referee. Webb

1:13:51 > 1:14:00checks. Priestland, William, Hallam Amos.

1:14:00 > 1:14:07Had to just check his run. Cuthbert.

1:14:07 > 1:14:24Good steel.That is an excellent steel by Khmaladze.He just lost it.

1:14:24 > 1:14:28There you go, there is a dummy run again, Watkins holds the defence, he

1:14:28 > 1:14:33will be straight up as an extra man, you have to run-in side shoulder.As

1:14:33 > 1:14:44in not give the long pass?Yes.

1:14:47 > 1:14:58It might be said it was ripped from him by Sam Cross, I think it was.

1:14:58 > 1:15:09Khmaladze. Slight pause while the coach of

1:15:09 > 1:15:14Georgia, Milton Hague, has experience of coaching in Scotland

1:15:14 > 1:15:18and Warren Gatland invited him to come and see the Welsh set up some

1:15:18 > 1:15:23three years ago. Georgia of course, in Wales' group

1:15:23 > 1:15:30at the next World Cup. Think they have done it for a great

1:15:30 > 1:15:35offensive effort in the first half. They will be pleased if it stays at

1:15:35 > 1:15:4410-3. Try and go in with another try under the belt.Eight metres out.

1:15:44 > 1:15:50Wales through Webb trying to get Hallam Amos into space. It is is a

1:15:50 > 1:15:57knock-on advantage. Sam Cross feeds Williams.

1:15:57 > 1:16:01A good pass by Cuthbert to Liam Williams.

1:16:01 > 1:16:07Scrum-half. Watkin provides the service.There is an injured

1:16:07 > 1:16:13Georgian player under the post.He is up though.

1:16:13 > 1:16:25It's a penalty to Wales back where the referee is heading.

1:16:25 > 1:16:29Rhys Webb had a look.30 seconds left.

1:16:29 > 1:16:35Somebody, anybody? What are we going to do? Priestland says corner.

1:16:35 > 1:16:40Or they say to Rhys Priestland corner.

1:16:40 > 1:16:45Time for the line-out. Ten seconds the go.You have to run the whole

1:16:45 > 1:16:48that. Is a deliberate knock-on, that is where the penalty is, clear

1:16:48 > 1:16:56penalty. On the stroke of half-time, as we go

1:16:56 > 1:17:00into overtime, Kristian Dacey to throw-in to the line-out. Again it

1:17:00 > 1:17:08is Adam Beard who has gone to the tail. Brown at the front.

1:17:08 > 1:17:14Forward comes Adam Beard. In goes Kristian Dacey, to secure he has

1:17:14 > 1:17:18dropped it. Has just gone forward again. So an untidy end to the first

1:17:18 > 1:17:23half. Wales have a lead. Could have been more but Georgia held firm and

1:17:23 > 1:17:28turned the try against them, into a penalty for them, which means the

1:17:28 > 1:17:38gap at half-time is is only seven points. Wales 10, Georgia 3.

1:17:38 > 1:17:44Which is... They will be happy with that, the first 20 minutes was quite

1:17:44 > 1:17:48compelling and it was an exciting to see Wales with all the changes

1:17:48 > 1:17:51continuing that progress they made last week and their style of play,

1:17:51 > 1:17:56but then it seemed to get a bit disrupted as the half went on.I

1:17:56 > 1:18:00think we have seen a Georgian side pumped up and maybe slightly

1:18:00 > 1:18:04forgetting what they are here for, the purpose to play good rugby they

1:18:04 > 1:18:09know they are capable of. Wales have dominated the passing, running with

1:18:09 > 1:18:14the ball game and Georgia have a bit part. It is a statement, a

1:18:14 > 1:18:17difference in class and Wales just need to Spartan up a bit. Be more

1:18:17 > 1:18:22direct and the space will come outside.The difference in class not

1:18:22 > 1:18:26just within the team but within the Georgian team, there is more

1:18:26 > 1:18:29competence and experience going from the forwards, when it gets to the

1:18:29 > 1:18:34back there's is a lack of idea, inspiration.They do try to cross

1:18:34 > 1:18:38kick but there is not much creativity in midfield. They are not

1:18:38 > 1:18:42getting much success from their driving line-out. The scrum is

1:18:42 > 1:18:46pretty even. They haven't got that forward dominance, so I think the

1:18:46 > 1:18:52Welsh pack has stood up well. It is agree with Gerry, we are making soft

1:18:52 > 1:18:57mistakes and taking the pressure off Georgia.When they had a chance to

1:18:57 > 1:18:59get field position and create something the kicking wasn't great

1:18:59 > 1:19:07for Georgia.There is a lot of loose kicks and and no-one wanted to kick

1:19:07 > 1:19:12the ball early on. When the game gets broken up Wales look dangerous.

1:19:12 > 1:19:19The point is they are trying to play too much. Georgia have been very

1:19:19 > 1:19:23clover, they spread the width of the field. They allow one player to

1:19:23 > 1:19:28attack that break down. It is clever but they will need to pick their

1:19:28 > 1:19:35head up and get over the gape line. Martin you spotted more sign, more

1:19:35 > 1:19:38evidence of Wales changing their style of play.Evolution this Welsh

1:19:38 > 1:19:46team. We have seen Welsh forward, the same way but it was evidence in

1:19:46 > 1:19:52Australia they are going both sides of the ruck. Rhys Webb, we know what

1:19:52 > 1:19:57a threat he is, it is nice to see them not going the same way. That

1:19:57 > 1:20:03first 10, 15 minutes I thought Wales looked lively and sharp. Liam Brown

1:20:03 > 1:20:08has had a good stand up game. They have tried and they are evolving. It

1:20:08 > 1:20:12will take time. You see forwards in the midfield which is great to see

1:20:12 > 1:20:16as well.Obviously, Martin said there there is evidence of this

1:20:16 > 1:20:21evolution. You played like this at Wasps. This is obviously something

1:20:21 > 1:20:27that has been in his DNA.Without doubt. We know that in the past

1:20:27 > 1:20:32there is is a team that is capable of transferring out of contact,

1:20:32 > 1:20:36playing round the side. Getting over the gain line and using their strike

1:20:36 > 1:20:40runners. We have gone from that a bit but we trying to develop it

1:20:40 > 1:20:46back. We are seeing Wales trying to play too much, some time tos, you

1:20:46 > 1:20:52need to say get over that gain line and then use their striker, if they

1:20:52 > 1:20:56are patient they can walk a few of balls over the try line. They get to

1:20:56 > 1:21:00a break down and they lose it against one defender and that is

1:21:00 > 1:21:04criminal in international rugby. What havy made of Rhys Webb. There

1:21:04 > 1:21:11was a good break for him.He still is the number one Welsh scrum-half

1:21:11 > 1:21:17in my book. He is showing it. The guy is gifted and talented. He loves

1:21:17 > 1:21:22scoring tries he has scored then. This is a great solo break that just

1:21:22 > 1:21:27needed a bit of support, I think they recognise this. They are

1:21:27 > 1:21:31getting the offloads and supporting them now they need to get there and

1:21:31 > 1:21:36support break. It is great vision, great pace, unfortunately, I think

1:21:36 > 1:21:40Cuthbert comes in at the end and and gives it a nudge. The ambition the

1:21:40 > 1:21:46intent is great.You have to come away with a try. Try.England would

1:21:46 > 1:21:52have scored tries, that is the next step of once it has been made

1:21:52 > 1:21:56clinical and I haven't mastered that yet. IsRhys Priestland with his

1:21:56 > 1:22:01first start for two years, he has had an interesting time at Bath.

1:22:01 > 1:22:05That was what Jonathan said, he wanted to see him today. He seemed

1:22:05 > 1:22:11to be doing well in distribution as well.You can see the confidence of

1:22:11 > 1:22:14his performances through Bath have been reflected on today's

1:22:14 > 1:22:19performance. He is a distributor, his kicking has been superb, he has

1:22:19 > 1:22:24put George under pressure and a good chase as well. But just the simple

1:22:24 > 1:22:30passes, I doesn't have to be clever or pretty. He needs to put people

1:22:30 > 1:22:35into positions, and with the run round here, Scott Williams pumps the

1:22:35 > 1:22:43pass. I am not sure what he is doing there. Matiashvili has a lot of. He

1:22:43 > 1:22:50knows he is there. It is a great try for Wales.

1:22:50 > 1:22:54I think Amos got injured in the World Cup.Before the World Cup.

1:22:54 > 1:23:07Yes. He has pace, I understand, I I have have the opinion, I think Amos

1:23:07 > 1:23:10is a winger of full-back, that new back three player, these are the

1:23:10 > 1:23:15players who have to get the ball into. They are talented. He did, he

1:23:15 > 1:23:21was on for a second one as well were you happy with the decision?

1:23:21 > 1:23:26Hopefully we have a real close up. Nicky Smith goes in for the rip out,

1:23:26 > 1:23:26the pull

1:23:26 > 1:23:28Nicky Smith goes in for the rip out, the pull out. While it was we

1:23:28 > 1:23:35thought it was a try but when you luckily we do have the TMO. We

1:23:35 > 1:23:41talked about it, did it go forward, did it not. We believed it did. It

1:23:41 > 1:23:47is what is good for me, is Wales, if it wasn't going forward, at least

1:23:47 > 1:23:52Wales continue to play on. Here we are, Nicky Smith goes in and it

1:23:52 > 1:23:59popped up and goes ahead of him. Two passes. Amos would have been, is

1:23:59 > 1:24:04away and would have scored the try. He runs pretty quickly as well.He

1:24:04 > 1:24:12is not bad. Sam Cross found himself with the ball. His first instinct

1:24:12 > 1:24:17was to get it wide. What is encouraging that Wales intent if

1:24:17 > 1:24:23will is Saturn over, it is two quick passes. Sam Cross had a cracking

1:24:23 > 1:24:29long pass there. Getting people like Hallam Amos and

1:24:29 > 1:24:33Rhys Webb involved early. They are dangerous when they do that. When

1:24:33 > 1:24:36they get beyond the defensive line they need to keep hold of the ball

1:24:36 > 1:24:41as well. Nonu member of the playing team

1:24:41 > 1:24:45today. What have you made of that first half. Wales are trying to play

1:24:45 > 1:24:50with the same intent we saw last week against Australia.Yes, it was

1:24:50 > 1:24:55a positive half of rugby from the young boys, they have stayed to the

1:24:55 > 1:25:02pattern and structure very well. Cuthbert was held up and Hallam's

1:25:02 > 1:25:07try was pulled back, there is is a lot of positive there's. Defensively

1:25:07 > 1:25:13Georgia were on the try line, we pushed them back to the 10 metre

1:25:13 > 1:25:19line. Defensively solid from the Georgian,

1:25:19 > 1:25:24do you sense in the second half, Wales can exploit their lack of

1:25:24 > 1:25:28fitness and their tiredness from that defending?I think so. One

1:25:28 > 1:25:32thing we have seen in these sort of games you have to stay in the fight

1:25:32 > 1:25:39and wear the opposition down, we are doing that slowly and holes will

1:25:39 > 1:25:43appear in the last twenty minutes if face stay to the structure they

1:25:43 > 1:25:49trying to play, we should open up a sizeable gap.

1:25:49 > 1:25:5410-4. It could have been more. Do you there there will be a sense of

1:25:54 > 1:26:00frustration the lead isn't bigger than it is?Yes, I think so. It

1:26:00 > 1:26:05mentioned with Alexander being held, some great defence by Georgia. Hall

1:26:05 > 1:26:11than 's try pulled back which will be debatable, I think it showed the

1:26:11 > 1:26:15defensive work and how we are building that between attack and

1:26:15 > 1:26:18defence, there will be frustrationings to be only one score

1:26:18 > 1:26:21in it. There is is a big 40 minutes and plenty of positives from the

1:26:21 > 1:26:24boys. Enjoy the second half. From is Mohr

1:26:24 > 1:26:28rugby to come for you on the BBC, including what we are hoping is

1:26:28 > 1:26:36going to be a belter at Murrayfield. Simple truth, Scotland have never

1:26:36 > 1:26:41beaten New Zealand. Do they have a chance against the

1:26:41 > 1:26:49All Blacks now?

1:26:53 > 1:26:59Bowden Barrett. He is going to score.

1:26:59 > 1:27:07What a vital score for Scotland. So you can see that one on BBC Two,

1:27:07 > 1:27:13at 5.00 this evening, highlights of England Australia coming up at 7.30,

1:27:13 > 1:27:20and then we have rugby league for you, an early call time, that is at

1:27:20 > 1:27:304.30 tomorrow morning. England pap that new Guinea from the World Cup.

1:27:30 > 1:27:35Let us chat about Scotland New Zealand. The new era, looking very

1:27:35 > 1:27:39exciting in terms of attacking last week, scoring six tries but there

1:27:39 > 1:27:42was defensive frailties as well which will have concerned them in

1:27:42 > 1:27:47the week building up to it.If you don't play New Zealand with your A

1:27:47 > 1:27:52game plus, you are really going to struggle. Defensively they have to

1:27:52 > 1:27:58be less porous than they were and have their heads, they will. Sides

1:27:58 > 1:28:03all matically gear us because you are playing the best. But it raises

1:28:03 > 1:28:09your game. If they have such lapses in defence against the All Blacks

1:28:09 > 1:28:13they will lose by a lot of points. I felt like the intent was we are

1:28:13 > 1:28:18going to score one more try than you, they have some exciting backs

1:28:18 > 1:28:24and still you have the lights of hue Jones and Dunbar, a fit Stuart Hogg

1:28:24 > 1:28:30as well. So it is exciting. Yes, you can see that in the pro 14 with the

1:28:30 > 1:28:37likes of Edinburgh and Glasgow and the way they attack and Gregor

1:28:37 > 1:28:42Townsend he installed the offloading game. Getting over, and yes, they

1:28:42 > 1:28:50can score a lot of points but you have to defence.Otherwise you can

1:28:50 > 1:28:56get away with it against Samoa, New Zealand will Britain you -- rip you

1:28:56 > 1:29:03to Reds. They are missing two good player, so there is a hint of. They

1:29:03 > 1:29:09have so much strength. I agree Gerry, when you have New Zealand in

1:29:09 > 1:29:15your autumn series, one eye is from that game.They were down to their

1:29:15 > 1:29:21fourth choice loosehead. You would say as a neutral, if

1:29:21 > 1:29:25Scotland get within 107 points that is a massive step up for me.

1:29:25 > 1:29:31Anything lessen incredible. You are looking at the 20 points plus, bad

1:29:31 > 1:29:36game.OK, the second half here is almost upon us, and just seven

1:29:36 > 1:29:40point, one score between Georgia who have this real intent to be playing

1:29:40 > 1:29:44at the top table and Wales who have been experimenting with the line up

1:29:44 > 1:29:50and trying to play a new style of rugby, what do they have to do. Is

1:29:50 > 1:29:58that enough for Wales today?Not for me, I am impressed with first half

1:29:58 > 1:30:04compared to what has happened with these games in previous autumns, I

1:30:04 > 1:30:10expect Wales to come out Morocco hee receive. Gatland is saying let's be

1:30:10 > 1:30:15more direct. They have shown their distribution is good. They have to

1:30:15 > 1:30:19be more direct and be is parter.

1:30:19 > 1:30:24It is a cliche, but the first score is crucial. If Georgia get the first

1:30:24 > 1:30:32score s everyone gets nervous. If we do score first, players can relax,

1:30:32 > 1:30:44the Georgians' heads will crop. -- drop.Josh Navidi is on for Cross.

1:30:44 > 1:30:51That would be an injury I thought. Navidi had a huge game against

1:30:51 > 1:30:56Australia. Probably a more powerful player. An interesting substitution.

1:30:56 > 1:31:01Georgia obviously in the first half spent 20 minutes just entrenched

1:31:01 > 1:31:05defending their line and this is going to be a tough ask for them to

1:31:05 > 1:31:11play that way for another 40 mips. They will want want to go forward.

1:31:11 > 1:31:15Yes they defended for the majority of the half and did well. They

1:31:15 > 1:31:19spread the whole width of the field. And it has been successful. Now

1:31:19 > 1:31:26hopefully there has been a word at half time by the Welsh team whereby

1:31:26 > 1:31:32a bit more pick and go and then use the width and players like Amos and

1:31:32 > 1:31:40Priestland. But Wales need to start effectively.Let's hand you back to

1:31:40 > 1:31:42Eddie Butler and Jonathan Davies.

1:31:42 > 1:31:45effectively.Let's hand you back to Eddie Butler and Jonathan Davies.

1:31:45 > 1:31:51Josh Navidi wears 19 and comes on for Sam Cross.He had treatment at

1:31:51 > 1:32:07the end of the first half. It must be a niggle. I was at his dad's gym

1:32:07 > 1:32:12yesterday, photos of him on the wall. Hopefully his dad will be

1:32:12 > 1:32:16happy with that mention. Make no doubt, Georgia if you said they

1:32:16 > 1:32:19would only be seven points down, they would have been extremely

1:32:19 > 1:32:29happy.Soso Matiashvili starts the second half. Williams with the

1:32:29 > 1:32:31catch.

1:32:36 > 1:32:42I think Wales need to flaert and never to -- flatter and they need to

1:32:42 > 1:32:51engage them. There is a couple of opportunities they squandered.A

1:32:51 > 1:32:54beautiful offload by Hill.

1:32:59 > 1:33:08Advantage Ove. -- advantage over.If you keep going behind the player,

1:33:08 > 1:33:15you have to be flatter.Navidi almost up to the half way. Quick

1:33:15 > 1:33:24ball for Wales. Brown with good acceleration off the mark, the prop.

1:33:29 > 1:33:34Georgia go high, but not dangerously high. Davies did well A beautiful

1:33:34 > 1:33:49pass by the No 8. That's gone loose. Knock-on.Good pick up. Knock-on.

1:33:49 > 1:33:54There we go, lovely off-load, Davies takes the hit, looks for the

1:33:54 > 1:33:59off-load. Again it is great defence. You have got to hold on to that

1:33:59 > 1:34:04ball. The execution has got to be good, yes, they're changing the

1:34:04 > 1:34:08style and trying to be more expansive. But you can't do it with

1:34:08 > 1:34:13basic errors. Your skill level has got to be higher if you want to play

1:34:13 > 1:34:18a more open game. The ball will be thrown at you, you have to be far

1:34:18 > 1:34:24more clinical and cut the errors out. I think Gatland mentioned that

1:34:24 > 1:34:33in his pre-match interview.Changes in the Georgia side at half time.

1:34:33 > 1:34:41Just to the right of scrum-half Lobzhanidze is the halfway line.

1:34:45 > 1:34:53Just got half a turn on, but Georgia get the penalty.

1:35:05 > 1:35:09Leon Brown penalised at the set piece.

1:35:16 > 1:35:23Georgia into the Welsh 22.

1:35:34 > 1:35:40Six forwards in the line-out.

1:35:47 > 1:35:54Chilachava the prop. Oh and away comes Chilachava and he is bundled

1:35:54 > 1:36:01into touch. It took a half-back and a wing. Wales quickly away. Nonstop

1:36:01 > 1:36:13action here. Amos with a good kick down field. Spotted the gap.

1:36:13 > 1:36:18Modebadze comes back.There is the division of Webb with the quick

1:36:18 > 1:36:25three in.It is a Georgian throw in. Amos on the end of the breakout from

1:36:25 > 1:36:31behind the Welsh line.There is a lovely pass. They're away. Two

1:36:31 > 1:36:36passes - there you go. Nice to see them. Right option there. In and

1:36:36 > 1:36:50out.Amos just...I tell you what Chilachava, nearly caught him

1:36:50 > 1:36:55napping, he snuck down the blindside.

1:37:16 > 1:37:21Knock-on by Wales. Advantage Georgia.

1:37:25 > 1:37:34They will come back. Good work at ball extraction.Once you're

1:37:34 > 1:37:39committed to the next ruck, is that advantage over? You have made your

1:37:39 > 1:37:48play. Good competition in the air. Both the players going for the ball.

1:37:48 > 1:38:02We are going to have some replacements on the Georgian side.

1:38:02 > 1:38:15Jinchvelashvili comes on.I was hoping he wouldn't come on!

1:38:18 > 1:38:27Jinchvelashvili is only 22.Still in the game, as soon as you come on as

1:38:27 > 1:38:33a sub, you're still in the game. Jinchvelashvili can stamp his

1:38:33 > 1:38:43authority on it now. A bit of creativity.The order is to use it.

1:38:43 > 1:38:48Knock-on, that will be a penalty for the deliberate knock-on.He went for

1:38:48 > 1:38:55the interception. It is a penalty. Thankfully no mad rush for a yellow

1:38:55 > 1:39:15card.Very understanding by Raynal. Jinchvelashvili finds touch.Wales

1:39:15 > 1:39:20need to pick the tempo up. Get on the the front foot, get all the

1:39:20 > 1:39:27forwards, Navidi is a good ball carrier, Davies, Brown, even Smith,

1:39:27 > 1:39:33they need now just to take it, carry it and have a bit of variety in

1:39:33 > 1:39:40their play. At the moment they're just absorbing all the lateral

1:39:40 > 1:39:52passing they're doing.Almost there! Navidi, the ball won by

1:39:52 > 1:40:00Kolelishvili.Watching here, he sees him and I didn't think he was going

1:40:00 > 1:40:09to make the pass. He must be able to see him in his eyeline then.

1:40:30 > 1:40:35Georgia apply pressure and they get the penalty. They only trail by

1:40:35 > 1:40:39seven points. There is a route back into this game just by doing it the

1:40:39 > 1:40:45hard way.I wonder if Matiashvili will go for this. He will know if it

1:40:45 > 1:40:52is in his range. He is going for it. Here we are. Just get the squeeze

1:40:52 > 1:40:57on. They get the nudge and once that happens, you know you're going to

1:40:57 > 1:41:09end up having a penalty. They will take the three points. As Martyn

1:41:09 > 1:41:13Williams said, the longer they're in this game, they're going to hang on

1:41:13 > 1:41:16in there and put every effort, get the forwards into field position,

1:41:16 > 1:41:21try and get a personality. They haven't looked creative at all. So

1:41:21 > 1:41:29it is where Wales play the game now.

1:41:40 > 1:41:44Soso Matiashvili. Just remind you, this is the first ever meeting

1:41:44 > 1:41:49between Wales and Georgia. So hi has already scored the first points for

1:41:49 > 1:41:55Georgia against Wales. Can he double his personal tally?

1:42:05 > 1:42:15Wales 10, Georgia 6.

1:42:20 > 1:42:25Some serious faces. Not that they ever burst into laughter that much.

1:42:25 > 1:42:27Not many smiles there.

1:42:44 > 1:42:50Off they go again.Good clearance.

1:43:00 > 1:43:05Webb saw the half gap. It just closed enough to bring the

1:43:05 > 1:43:13scrum-half down. Wales with a new purpose here. Into the arms of

1:43:13 > 1:43:21Chilachava.Well, good tackle, boy. Chilachava, you know, I am not sure

1:43:21 > 1:43:29that went forward, but the referee's given it. They just need to cut the

1:43:29 > 1:43:35errors out now. He is held up. That's gone back in my eyes I think.

1:43:35 > 1:43:40But the Rhys Webb, the little dart, keeps the defenders honest. Let's

1:43:40 > 1:43:52have a look at this. He has done a good job there, Chilachava.

1:43:54 > 1:44:00Not much has happened in this second half. Which suits George yashgs

1:44:00 > 1:44:03Georgia, because they have nibbled away with that penalty and if they

1:44:03 > 1:44:10can keep it calm and have a few chances.It is a stop/start game,

1:44:10 > 1:44:14which suits the Georgian side. They have a big pack and they want to

1:44:14 > 1:44:19play in the 22, or in any area where you can get a penalty and kick for

1:44:19 > 1:44:25goal. It is up to Wales to pick the tempo up. Be direct with the

1:44:25 > 1:44:30forwards, take them on up front. And then release it wide.

1:44:34 > 1:44:40How much will Georgia play from here? Good scrummage again and

1:44:40 > 1:44:45another penalty and they can do this by territory from this penalty. Have

1:44:45 > 1:44:54a line-out, have a drive.And maybe a yellow card as well.REFEREE: If

1:44:54 > 1:45:03you move forward, you cannot get up. The tighthead cannot. Have a word

1:45:03 > 1:45:12with your team.As they're coming on, they're spinning it round.The

1:45:12 > 1:45:18global picture they're dominant in scrum and legally in my view.Reward

1:45:18 > 1:45:24the dominant scrum.That says it all, anything that happens in the

1:45:24 > 1:45:42scrum, he thinks the Georgian pack is the dominant one.It is not the

1:45:42 > 1:45:48longest kick by Jinchvelashvili. Wales are claiming that Georgia are

1:45:48 > 1:45:57push/pulling, which maybe a fair point, but Georgia have the initial

1:45:57 > 1:46:01nudge on to persuade Mathieu Raynal.

1:46:16 > 1:46:28Now the off-loading game by Georgia.

1:46:30 > 1:46:38Charged by Matiashvili. The wider they go. Priestland does well to

1:46:38 > 1:46:43make a tackle. Back up on his feet straightaway.

1:46:51 > 1:46:57A slowish ball for Georgia. Lobzhanidze puts it down.

1:47:01 > 1:47:14Sliced it. The back row of Georgia are coming more into this game.

1:47:14 > 1:47:30Ball-carrying.A period of possession for Georgia. This time

1:47:30 > 1:47:32they go through the hands.

1:48:13 > 1:48:20Trouble now for Georgia, Cuthbert seizes on it.

1:48:28 > 1:48:32Webb way out sort of midfield wing. He has got the pace to live out

1:48:32 > 1:48:35there.

1:48:41 > 1:48:51More conventional position for Rhys Webb. Williams chases. Lobzhanidze

1:48:51 > 1:48:55let Williams creep up on him. The referee hasn't awarded anything yet.

1:48:55 > 1:49:07He has done well there. He has given his forwards time to come back.

1:49:07 > 1:49:11Georgia are no longer patiently building up an attack, they're right

1:49:11 > 1:49:14in their own corner.

1:49:23 > 1:49:28That looks, he hasn't got the biggest kick in the world.You look

1:49:28 > 1:49:34at the Georgian back line, lacking creativity and pace. It is a

1:49:34 > 1:49:44forward-orientated game.Dan Biggar comes on for Wales and Wyn Jones.

1:49:44 > 1:49:49Tom Francis into where?I think Williams is off. I think Biggar

1:49:49 > 1:49:59might go to 15.Or 12. The two props are off. This is Liam Williams

1:49:59 > 1:50:12limping off. Would you say? Is that a limp?Tactical maybe.And Leon

1:50:12 > 1:50:18Brown leaves the field. Tom Francis of Exeter comes into the front row.

1:50:18 > 1:50:21There have been problems in the scrum in the last few minutes.

1:50:21 > 1:50:26Change at scrum-half for Georgia. Off goes Lobzhanidze. He has been

1:50:26 > 1:50:40very busy. On comes Begadze.

1:50:43 > 1:50:48Always takes a little time to make these multiple changes. Davies wins

1:50:48 > 1:50:55the line-out. Webb out of position, as in more of a midfielder.A great

1:50:55 > 1:50:57tackle again.

1:51:05 > 1:51:12Biggar couldn't quite make the pass work. Another break down in a Welsh

1:51:12 > 1:51:18move.Just the execution.Dan Biggar the full-back, do you think?That is

1:51:18 > 1:51:25interesting. If you're going to play that pass, you have to keep your

1:51:25 > 1:51:35depth. He was too flat. But it is interesting Biggar at full-back.

1:51:51 > 1:52:01Wales keep George ia in their own half. Scrum-half Begadze on. Two new

1:52:01 > 1:52:05scrum-halves against each other.

1:52:14 > 1:52:23It has been pinched by Georgia.An unusual position, a stand off in the

1:52:23 > 1:52:37line-out.Held up. A maul shouted Mathieu Raynal.

1:52:43 > 1:52:49He is held up. They have all gone up. Navidi has done a good job. He

1:52:49 > 1:52:55made the tackle. Help from his other players. Turnover. All down to this

1:52:55 > 1:53:00man's tackling.A scrummage and Wales will want to make a statement

1:53:00 > 1:53:03to the referee here that they're comfortable at the scrum.Well they

1:53:03 > 1:53:09have made two changes, so there is no pressure. It is two brand-new

1:53:09 > 1:53:17props, let's see how this scrum goes.

1:53:23 > 1:53:28REFEREE: Keep the space. That is fine. You have got a space. So just

1:53:28 > 1:53:36keep the space between the bind and the set.I think that was all

1:53:36 > 1:53:39directed at Tom Francis. He is saying to Wales, I think the

1:53:39 > 1:53:44problem's with you.He's only just come on. He hasn't had one scrum

1:53:44 > 1:53:46yet.

1:53:48 > 1:54:03That is a better scrum.Solid scrum for Wales. Priestland to Cuthbert.

1:54:08 > 1:54:12Nearly intercepted by Modebadze. Georgia will be happy that Wales are

1:54:12 > 1:54:20cross kicking from the scrum. First tackle. Now that we have settled

1:54:20 > 1:54:26into a scrummaging change, what do you think?Yes, it is not the most

1:54:26 > 1:54:30glamorous of second halves, that is for sure. Wales are panicking a bit,

1:54:30 > 1:54:37trying things and it is not quite coming off. Turning the ball over in

1:54:37 > 1:54:42crucial areas. Georgia are keeping the ball well and keeping them

1:54:42 > 1:54:45playing and frustrating the Welsh team at the moment. This game needs

1:54:45 > 1:54:46some points.

1:54:54 > 1:54:56Another good scrummage for Davies.

1:55:01 > 1:55:06Good tackle.They saw him coming. Still Priestland did well to

1:55:06 > 1:55:07deliver.

1:55:20 > 1:55:26First touch for Wyn Jones.That is it, flat ball, there is no one

1:55:26 > 1:55:32there, look. Take them on there.A high tackle on the scrum-half. Adam

1:55:32 > 1:55:34Beard.

1:55:41 > 1:55:53Back we go to the penalty. Yeah, high hit. By Chilachava. What do

1:55:53 > 1:55:59Wales do? They're going it looks for the corner.No, change of mind,

1:55:59 > 1:56:07going for goal, make ate seven-point game. The tackle of Chilachava

1:56:07 > 1:56:12around the neck. Simple penalty.

1:56:24 > 1:56:28It has gone very quiet in the stadium. It has gone flat on the

1:56:28 > 1:56:33field as well. The coaches are not saying a lot. Rob Howley on the

1:56:33 > 1:56:38right having a little review. But we need to get this scoreboard moving

1:56:38 > 1:56:45again for the good of the game.They haven't worked out how to... Beat

1:56:45 > 1:56:50the Georgian defence. So well done the Georgian defence good.

1:56:54 > 1:57:02Here is Priestland. Turns almost immediately to pick up his tee.

1:57:02 > 1:57:0913-6. The second penalty by Priestland to add to his conversion.

1:57:09 > 1:57:25More changes by Georgia. The usual changes on the hour or just half.

1:57:25 > 1:57:31Bekoshvili comes on into the front row. Your busy player is going off.

1:57:31 > 1:57:39He has had a big game. Good defence around the field.Straight down the

1:57:39 > 1:57:41middle of the field.

1:58:28 > 1:58:39Jinchvelashvili. He turns and chase. That's gone forward.He did well to

1:58:39 > 1:58:45keep it in there. Modebadze. They were narrow, the kick was on. They

1:58:45 > 1:58:52haven't got the pace to finish it. There is the knock-on.

1:59:02 > 1:59:09A couple of solid Welsh scrums and Mathieu Raynal now has a chat with

1:59:09 > 1:59:14the Georgian props.The last scrum was solid. If anything Wales were

1:59:14 > 1:59:21the dominant one. So any doubt in the referee's mind, two changes at

1:59:21 > 1:59:27the prop position, now it's, it looks a lot healthier for Wales.

1:59:43 > 1:59:51REFEREE: Control the pressure, OK? The stability of the ball.

1:59:54 > 1:59:56Keep the pressure, OK?

2:00:02 > 2:00:12There is not a lot happening to bring the crowd to life.T dreaded

2:00:12 > 2:00:25Mexican wave will be going now, can I see it!Was that deliberate? No.I

2:00:25 > 2:00:36tell you what, he gets his hands on that, he is under the sticks. A

2:00:36 > 2:00:45lovely inside ball here.He is never going to catch that.The wrong

2:00:45 > 2:00:51angle.He is lucky to only get a knock-on.I don't think it is a

2:00:51 > 2:00:57yellow card.No.We have had a splurge of yellow cards for people

2:00:57 > 2:01:06trying to intercept.Georgia are not going to get any smaller with the

2:01:06 > 2:01:21swapping of Nemsadze with this fella! They have We have got to take

2:01:21 > 2:01:28a deep breath. It is Giorgi Tkhilaishvili.

2:01:41 > 2:01:46Ieshvili. In Asieshvili. In Asieshvili. Dacey. Wyn Jones.

2:01:46 > 2:01:53Penalty. So, Kristian Dacey in the mood for keeping the party going.

2:01:53 > 2:01:58But doesn't in the end. He is going to go for goal again. At

2:01:58 > 2:02:13some point, make it ten points. No.He goes straight for the touch.

2:02:33 > 2:02:36Asieshvili comes on to the front row. Whether this is a scheduled

2:02:36 > 2:02:40change or one of the feelings that Wales have recaptured the

2:02:40 > 2:02:40change or one of the feelings that Wales have recaptured the initiative

2:02:40 > 2:02:48at the scrum. I think they have stopped that problem. That has gone

2:02:48 > 2:02:52completely wrong from the attacking line-out. It is tidied up by

2:02:52 > 2:03:06Asieshvili, the new prop. He is another one. Davis. Gets the

2:03:06 > 2:03:11tackle away. It is Georgia, suddenly on the move. Breaking tacklings.

2:03:11 > 2:03:16Getting their offloads in, fresh leg, very much involved.

2:03:16 > 2:03:21Mamukashvili. The replacement hooker advantage Georgia.

2:03:27 > 2:03:34I don't know why they don't take the penalty, a dumb of, take the kicks

2:03:34 > 2:03:37and keep the score board ticking over. The mind-set and attitude of

2:03:37 > 2:03:43the opposition changed. They have to chase the game. They have to take

2:03:43 > 2:03:56more chances, and... Game this loose, it suits Wales.Here is is a

2:03:56 > 2:04:01moment for, this is Kristian Dacey. He goes us for it, it is a

2:04:01 > 2:04:08miscommunication by Wales. Dee, a first cap for the hooker from the

2:04:08 > 2:04:13Dragon, Kristian Dacey goes off.I think he is deserved it. He has

2:04:13 > 2:04:19played very well this year for the Dragons, he is, he has been one of

2:04:19 > 2:04:24the standard -- out players for them.14 new caps in the last six

2:04:24 > 2:04:31months. Dee is the 13th. Straight in to trying to stop this Georgian

2:04:31 > 2:04:35driving maul. This is what we expected them do a

2:04:35 > 2:04:39lot of. Wales have managed to get it o

2:04:39 > 2:04:46ground. Georgia though, only eight metres

2:04:46 > 2:04:53out. The number eight, Nemsadze.

2:05:09 > 2:05:22Number 17, Asieshvili. This could go on for some time.

2:05:23 > 2:05:27This is really, they all want the take the ball in.They a bit of

2:05:27 > 2:05:42motion forward in the right direction. Mikautadze.There is a

2:05:42 > 2:05:48penalty coming in the side, I think it was.They will go for the seven

2:05:48 > 2:05:53pointer to bring the scores level. They are going the other way at the

2:05:53 > 2:06:03moment. Scrum-half. It will be the penalty. Penalty. Did Georgia take

2:06:03 > 2:06:17the three or do they say well, we can get that, better than this.

2:06:37 > 2:06:48Captain, what we do?He wants a decision.It looks like they are

2:06:48 > 2:06:53going to go for the scrum. The way they are lingering around the

2:06:53 > 2:07:00penalty spot.Mikautadze, I suppose they are checking if the big second

2:07:00 > 2:07:03row is ready for the scrummage. There we go. Scrum down.Captain,

2:07:03 > 2:07:07what we do?He wants a decision.It looks like they are going to go for

2:07:07 > 2:07:09the scrum. The way they are lingering around the penalty spot.

2:07:09 > 2:07:11Mikautadze, I suppose they are checking if the big second row is

2:07:11 > 2:07:14ready for the scrummage.There we go. Scrum down.He says "I am." This

2:07:14 > 2:07:17will take some defending. It is smack in front of the posts.

2:07:17 > 2:07:19I would bet that this ball isn't going to come out.

2:07:19 > 2:07:21It's a lovely position for three-quarters on both sides but the

2:07:21 > 2:07:26suspicion maybe that it is not going to them.Unless the Welsh back row,

2:07:26 > 2:07:36it goes down and...Right foot... The line is here.

2:07:36 > 2:07:47That is fine. Good.

2:07:51 > 2:07:55Tom Francis. He will want all the weight behind him from the back

2:07:55 > 2:07:59three. They will be thinking I have to be careful here, how Dong do I

2:07:59 > 2:08:12stay down? What happens if they pass it out?

2:08:13 > 2:08:16That eight and nine combination might work on the right-hand side,

2:08:16 > 2:08:21if they get up on the right-hand side, maybe that will happen, but,

2:08:21 > 2:08:24apart from that, you just feel this is going to be stay in there and

2:08:24 > 2:08:40they will go for the grunt. To feed the scrummage. Penalty scrum

2:08:40 > 2:08:48Georgia. Turning in. Against Tom Francis.

2:08:48 > 2:08:52Georgia. More of the same.

2:08:52 > 2:09:03They are not moving, are they.

2:09:05 > 2:09:15Pressure back on the Wales front row.

2:09:15 > 2:09:19Georgia trail by seven point, is it their first ever game against Wales,

2:09:19 > 2:09:23they really want the play in a hiring division all the time. They

2:09:23 > 2:09:29want to be in the Six Nations, if they can get something out of there,

2:09:29 > 2:09:37this inaugural game at principality stadium. It would make their case

2:09:37 > 2:09:46almost irresistible. Principality Stadium. It would make

2:09:46 > 2:09:50their case almost irresistible. Minutes tick by.It was good until

2:09:50 > 2:10:05now. I want a space between the bind and the set. Speak in English. Then

2:10:05 > 2:10:15we respect the call, each call in action and stay up.

2:10:15 > 2:10:24Kolelishvili one of the players who plays for Brive. Do you remember

2:10:24 > 2:10:29that series of games Jonathan?Yes. Meanwhile it is Wale against

2:10:29 > 2:10:34Georgia. Minutes ticking away, Georgia

2:10:34 > 2:10:41pressing. For the converted try, to tie the scores.

2:10:44 > 2:10:49Penalty Georgia. Tom Francis again.

2:10:52 > 2:11:07Another scrum isn't it. To be fair to top Francis it was...

2:11:07 > 2:11:17It has been a dreary second half. Second half? Second half? Think

2:11:17 > 2:11:30there will be a few more fireworks next Saturday to be honest.

2:11:34 > 2:11:38Georgia go up on the far side. That is is a good scrum by Wales. Yes.

2:11:38 > 2:11:43Penalty. And look what it means to the young

2:11:43 > 2:11:53Welsh forwards and the spectators. That's a turn round. Great scrum by

2:11:53 > 2:12:03Wales. They pop up, number 18, he has gone,

2:12:03 > 2:12:10Bekoshvili just comes up.Wails are out of their 22 and the forwards are

2:12:10 > 2:12:14still celebrating as they make their very slow way. Here it goes. The

2:12:14 > 2:12:23surge on the far side. Wyn Jones. With help from the new cap, Elliott

2:12:23 > 2:12:33Dee, the work of Tom Francis. And it was a slow one. However

2:12:33 > 2:12:39unattractive it appears, it plays its part, oh Faletau is on the

2:12:39 > 2:12:50field. A throw to a shortened line-out. To

2:12:50 > 2:12:55Davis, here is Faletau. Big hit on the number eight, but he

2:12:55 > 2:13:02presents well for Davis. Aled Davies with Navidi and

2:13:02 > 2:13:16Cuthbert. Thumped on half way.

2:13:22 > 2:13:27Charge there.They are giving him a go now, trying to spread it, look

2:13:27 > 2:13:39for the short runner. Sp counter attacking by Faletau.

2:13:39 > 2:13:49The two Brive props.

2:14:00 > 2:14:03The captain made it possible, they are having to attack from a long way

2:14:03 > 2:14:15out. Bodies starting to be left in the wake of each break down.

2:14:15 > 2:14:18Nemsadze is down.

2:14:25 > 2:14:32Tom Francis with the tackle. No real progress, just under four

2:14:32 > 2:14:40minutes left, for Georgia to make that truly historic day for them.

2:14:40 > 2:14:53They trail by seven points.One of the players is down. Him and another

2:14:53 > 2:14:58have had really big games. There he goes again.They are

2:14:58 > 2:15:02similar to the Italian side when they came into the Six Nations,

2:15:02 > 2:15:12keeping everyone up front, poor, not great backs.Matiashvili, their one

2:15:12 > 2:15:15real attacking threat hasn't been able to get the ball going forward.

2:15:15 > 2:15:32There is a good charge by Mikautadze. Tackle by Watkin.

2:15:32 > 2:15:36Georgia back behind their own half way line and back giving away the

2:15:36 > 2:15:40penalty. Wales could have a go for gold, to put them beyond seven

2:15:40 > 2:15:46points. Just see what they do first,

2:15:46 > 2:15:49Jonathan, before you deliver your verdict on who is the Man of the

2:15:49 > 2:15:58Match.It has been a tough one to be honest, looking at, I think that

2:15:58 > 2:16:04Kolelishvili has played very well. But for me, my Man of the Match and,

2:16:04 > 2:16:09Man of the Match is Dan Lydiate, he has done the dirty work today, he,

2:16:09 > 2:16:1424 tackle, that is twice as many as any other player on the field,

2:16:14 > 2:16:21really, so just shows the defensive ugly work that the loose blindside

2:16:21 > 2:16:25winger and forwards do. Up goes Cory Hill to win the

2:16:25 > 2:16:29line-out. Wales have a just under two minutes,

2:16:29 > 2:16:36two minute maul will do. Plus a try would be even sweeter.

2:16:36 > 2:16:42Aled Davies, in comes Hallam Amos, off his win. Is it going to be a

2:16:42 > 2:16:45finish for the first of -- burst of points.

2:16:45 > 2:16:58Oh, no.No. No! Penalty against Wales.

2:16:58 > 2:17:03The veteran Kacharava.He has put some big hits in, he is straight

2:17:03 > 2:17:17over the ball. Easy penalty. Last chance for Georgia.

2:17:17 > 2:17:24You have a feeling they might from this far out.

2:17:24 > 2:17:31Well, it will be the day of toil to review.

2:17:31 > 2:17:38This Wales Georgia fixture for the coaches.

2:17:38 > 2:17:43I suppose it is better going into a week in preparation for the All

2:17:43 > 2:17:50Blacks with, with this under your bell than a 60 point scamper.It

2:17:50 > 2:17:56would be nice if they scored a few more tries. Penalty-kick for the

2:17:56 > 2:18:04corner. Faletau gave away the penalty.

2:18:04 > 2:18:11What do they do?They have to go for the corner.Matiashvili for the

2:18:11 > 2:18:13corner.

2:18:15 > 2:18:22Five seconds. We will have the line-out. We, into

2:18:22 > 2:18:26overtime.That is a brilliant kick, that has set the for wards up for

2:18:26 > 2:18:31one last chance. They take their time. Look how slow they are walking

2:18:31 > 2:18:36to the line-out. They know this is the last chance, that is a beautiful

2:18:36 > 2:18:43kick. Beautiful pick. If he was like five, ten yards shorter, the catch

2:18:43 > 2:18:53and drive was not on, now it is definitely on for them.Mamukashvili

2:18:53 > 2:18:59of Carcassonne in France. It has been a good initial drive.

2:18:59 > 2:19:03They have taken it down to ground well. It is just about a maul still,

2:19:03 > 2:19:07but there are so many bodies on the floor that surely they can't build a

2:19:07 > 2:19:14maul from here, or can they? Elliott Dee gets hands on it, the referee

2:19:14 > 2:19:25indicates bodies here. The break outcomes. It's now a ruck, this is

2:19:25 > 2:19:27not going anywhere.

2:19:30 > 2:19:38Seb Davies involved in the defensive operation, everybody is involved,

2:19:38 > 2:19:43it's Georgia, try to arrange their force, it is a penalty advantage.

2:19:43 > 2:19:49Why would you do that? Why would do you that?He is going to be yellow

2:19:49 > 2:19:54carded for coming in for the side. Yellow card for the prop so Georgia

2:19:54 > 2:19:59will have another chance.It has to be a scrum now. We have got to go

2:19:59 > 2:20:04scrum. One man short, five metres out.Prop goes off.Prop goes off,

2:20:04 > 2:20:09you have to change the prop, one of the back rowers gets off, you have

2:20:09 > 2:20:13to check one of the backs in now because they are going to go

2:20:13 > 2:20:23scrummage.Well there is counter rucking and driving infrom the side.

2:20:23 > 2:20:28That was a silly thing.That was not the wisest decision.You are in the

2:20:28 > 2:20:33red. The last thing you want is your prop to come in from the side,

2:20:33 > 2:20:42yellow carded, in this position, What was he thinking there? In the

2:20:42 > 2:20:52side. Well that is, that is... That is not the brightest decision Tom

2:20:52 > 2:20:58Francis will make in his rugby career.

2:20:58 > 2:21:04Wales will have to make changes. Lyon Brown.The referee will know

2:21:04 > 2:21:09that Lyon Brown is under pressure, before he went off. He won't have

2:21:09 > 2:21:22forgotten that. Number three has gone off, he comes

2:21:22 > 2:21:31back on, he is the one that gave Nicky Smith a bit of trouble.

2:21:31 > 2:21:36More rugby to come. Scotland versus New Zealand. This hasn't been

2:21:36 > 2:21:40fantastic entertainment but we could be on the verge of a bit of Georgian

2:21:40 > 2:21:48rugby history here.I would say that the odds are very favourable on the

2:21:48 > 2:21:55Georgian side of scoring now. Just looking at who is left on.I

2:21:55 > 2:22:00don't know what is going on here now.It depends how many front row

2:22:00 > 2:22:10forwards are injured.

2:22:16 > 2:22:21A The referee is heading for the touchline. It is like France-Wales

2:22:21 > 2:22:25all over again, we are going to have 13 minutes.

2:22:30 > 2:22:36Do you remember the... Win Barnes was the referee that time. Do you

2:22:36 > 2:22:41remember when he was pushed on the field during an Ospreys game? The

2:22:41 > 2:22:48player who pushed him down is the referee from Georgia, he can't do

2:22:48 > 2:22:55that.This could be uncontested. You don't have enough prop to play a

2:22:55 > 2:23:01contested scrum. So we will move to uncontested scrum. You will have to

2:23:01 > 2:23:08put one player more off, OK. You play...That suits wells. What a

2:23:08 > 2:23:13bonus to come out.Thank you very much Sir. Thank you very much

2:23:13 > 2:23:20referee. We will take the uncontested scrums.There aren't

2:23:20 > 2:23:25enough fit props for a scrum so there will be no pushing at this

2:23:25 > 2:23:31scrum. Georgia can't score from an uncontested scrum but as you were

2:23:31 > 2:23:36saying the odds were on a try, now it would appear it is a lot harder

2:23:36 > 2:23:46to score. You can just pack anyone down, why

2:23:46 > 2:24:07is it taking so long?Why are Wales bringing back on Kristian Dacey? If

2:24:07 > 2:24:11Tom Francis goes off they say they haven't got any props or is it

2:24:11 > 2:24:15Georgia who haven't got any prop, they may take some unravelling in

2:24:15 > 2:24:25the aftermath.

2:24:34 > 2:24:42Martin, as Kristian Dacey comes back on, can you help on the situation?I

2:24:42 > 2:24:46think Lyon Brown and Nicky Smith have stood on the touchline ready to

2:24:46 > 2:24:51come back on, they realised they are supposed to be injured and sat back

2:24:51 > 2:24:58down, we saw it happen against us last year in France, and it is is,

2:24:58 > 2:25:04yes, very interesting decision there, but the Welsh. If they are

2:25:04 > 2:25:18injured I do apologise, but a bit of a coincidence that one for me.

2:25:25 > 2:25:33Is a man yellow carded and uncontested scrum, that is it PSo

2:25:33 > 2:25:37after all it is going to be an uncontested scrum. Wales a man down,

2:25:37 > 2:25:43Tom Francis in the bin. Kristian Dacey is on, because obviously as

2:25:43 > 2:25:52Martin said Wales have a lot of injured props. So the hooker plays

2:25:52 > 2:25:58prop. Dee plays hooker. And still they can't get on with it.

2:25:58 > 2:26:03The other thing do is to go for the line-out. Well done Georgia, change

2:26:03 > 2:26:07the call, if it is uncontested scrum, with the extra man we will go

2:26:07 > 2:26:12to the line-out and we will try and drive you over.

2:26:12 > 2:26:24Well...You change your mind. Dan Lydiate is now being blames for

2:26:24 > 2:26:34everything.

2:26:35 > 2:26:41Mamukashvili to throw-in this line-out. Georgia set the maul.

2:26:41 > 2:26:47Better than the last one. Seven man Welsh pack unable to drive

2:26:47 > 2:26:51them towards the touchline as they did. Georgia start to swing and turn

2:26:51 > 2:26:57back the other way. Wales get the ball to ground.

2:26:57 > 2:27:01It is as important as anything. Bitsadze puts a hand on the ball.

2:27:01 > 2:27:05Looks up.

2:27:09 > 2:27:14So we are back to where we were about six minuting a. Georgia

2:27:14 > 2:27:19pressing. Six minutes, there has been a lot of talking and not much

2:27:19 > 2:27:24action but this is Georgia's chance. To score the try and take the

2:27:24 > 2:27:30conversion to level the scores. Three metres to go.We are not going

2:27:30 > 2:27:45to rush this. Still three metres.

2:27:51 > 2:27:56Slowly does it. Faletau tries to make it harder for anybody to pick

2:27:56 > 2:28:00up the ball. Wales trying to keep the ball above

2:28:00 > 2:28:04the ground.This will make the conversion easier, they have worked

2:28:04 > 2:28:09their way inside towards the post and kept on going.

2:28:09 > 2:28:14Up in the double figure of phase, Bitsadze comes away with it. Penalty

2:28:14 > 2:28:20to Wales, the game is all over. One kick and Wales are safe.

2:28:20 > 2:28:28It has been a trial of strength and they have just about held out. They

2:28:28 > 2:28:31started brightly, they ended up pinned back on their own line but

2:28:31 > 2:28:35they are going to win the game against Georgia, Rhys Priestland has

2:28:35 > 2:28:42the final kick. The whistle goes and Wales have beaten Georgia.

2:28:42 > 2:28:53Goodness, what a tussle it has been. 13 points to six.

2:28:53 > 2:29:01I am not sure what we learned about Wales in that match, any thoughts

2:29:01 > 2:29:04Shane about what Warren Gatland would have learned about the 15 that

2:29:04 > 2:29:07started the match and whether he can take anything from that performance

2:29:07 > 2:29:11to New Zealand.For me it is the same as it has been the last couple

2:29:11 > 2:29:16of autumn series in the second, in the big second game, really. It is a

2:29:16 > 2:29:20lot of changes, a lot of inexperience, playing a lot of new

2:29:20 > 2:29:25combination and not a fluency and can learn a lot from this game, how

2:29:25 > 2:29:29to keep the ball, how to be composed.Let, we haven't got long,

2:29:29 > 2:29:33we need to talk about that final play of the game and perhaps Wales

2:29:33 > 2:29:37not fully in the spirit of the game there.You can call it smart coach,

2:29:37 > 2:29:43you can call it not in the spirit of the game. It doesn't, like I say, I

2:29:43 > 2:29:48am not sure if you have the footage, the guys were ready to come back on,

2:29:48 > 2:29:52it was a stupid penalty, the call has come from the box the two props

2:29:52 > 2:29:56are injured and can't come back on, they seemed to go off the field OK,

2:29:56 > 2:30:00it seemed to be a tactical substitution, file for the Georgian,

2:30:00 > 2:30:04they were ready for that scrum and got it taken away from them.You

2:30:04 > 2:30:08said Gerry if they were within ten points of Wales that would be a

2:30:08 > 2:30:13fantastic result.I congratulate Georgia for getting it and keeping

2:30:13 > 2:30:17it within such a small performance, it was a poor performance by Wales

2:30:17 > 2:30:21because the first half was promising.

2:30:21 > 2:30:25We just perhaps in that second half, they disrupted the game, Georgia,

2:30:25 > 2:30:29they did the right thing, but Dan Lydiate, one of the most senior men

2:30:29 > 2:30:36on the pitch is with Ross. Dan, Man of the Match and captain,

2:30:36 > 2:30:40how the nerves after that nerve jangling end?Yes, it is tailored to

2:30:40 > 2:30:46us, we went outside to play in the first half, and then second half, a

2:30:46 > 2:30:52lot of stodge, we continue seem to get into this. I have to give credit

2:30:52 > 2:30:57to the younger boy, but we weren't clinical enough.So enough confusion

2:30:57 > 2:31:01at the end of the uncontested scrum, I guess at that stage were you

2:31:01 > 2:31:05regretting not taking the three points when they were on offer?

2:31:05 > 2:31:10Well, you know, it, in the heat of the moment, obviously we wanted to

2:31:10 > 2:31:13play some rugby, some running rugby but we have to grind out the win. We

2:31:13 > 2:31:18are happy with the win but the nerves were going at the end. We

2:31:18 > 2:31:22want to play a good band of rugby and that is what people come to see.

2:31:22 > 2:31:28See. So horses for course, we got the win in the end.The small matter

2:31:28 > 2:31:33of New Zealand next week, the World Champions are coming to town.

2:31:33 > 2:31:36Imagine there will be some change, do you think anyone today has done

2:31:36 > 2:31:40their cause any good in term of getting selected?Some of the young

2:31:40 > 2:31:44boys put their hand up to go up against a Georgian pack, my body

2:31:44 > 2:31:49will be aching tomorrow, the rest of boys as well. A sort of baptism of

2:31:49 > 2:31:53fire against a heavy Georgian pack but some of the young boys shone

2:31:53 > 2:31:54today.Thank you Dan.

2:31:56 > 2:32:03It is Groundhog Day for Wales, they haven't beaten a tier two team by

2:32:03 > 2:32:06more than ten points for nearly a decade. They make hard work of them.

2:32:06 > 2:32:13It was that. It was, you thought first half Gerry said they were

2:32:13 > 2:32:16lively, sharp, there was good interplay, second half it turned

2:32:16 > 2:32:21into the sort of game the Georgians want. Wales didn't help themselves,

2:32:21 > 2:32:25the basic errors and the penalties they give away. They can't blame

2:32:25 > 2:32:29anybody else.Was there anybody, do you think who has put themselves

2:32:29 > 2:32:34into Warren's mind for next week? Not to take over from what was

2:32:34 > 2:32:38starting a week ago but Priestland did well, I thought Rhys Webb was

2:32:38 > 2:32:43OK. We talk about Lydiate making the tackles but nobody put their mark on

2:32:43 > 2:32:48game. Nobody nominated. That is disappointing for me.Still Georgia

2:32:48 > 2:32:54have not beaten a tier one nation in 17 attempt, today they came closer,

2:32:54 > 2:32:57putting their name in the hat, wanting to be involved in the Six

2:32:57 > 2:33:01Nations, did they do themselves favours?I think they did. It wasn't

2:33:01 > 2:33:05pretty, it wasn't the most spectacular of day, but they

2:33:05 > 2:33:09grinded, they grinded what was a tough game. They were the better

2:33:09 > 2:33:14team, defensively I thought they were smart e they spread the width

2:33:14 > 2:33:17of the field and didn't compete in the break down until they had to and

2:33:17 > 2:33:21turned a lot of ball over, when they had the ball they went through the

2:33:21 > 2:33:25phase, they were more clinical and patient with ball in hand, and

2:33:25 > 2:33:28perhaps should have had something in the end. They will be disappointed

2:33:28 > 2:33:34they haven't won in the game in the end.Thank you Shane, Martin, Gerry,

2:33:34 > 2:33:37enjoyed your company, Warren Gatland will not go bed not with Georgia on

2:33:37 > 2:33:43his mind but New Zealand. They are the next test next week. New Zealand

2:33:43 > 2:33:48playing Scotland today. Our coverage starts rights now on the Red Button,

2:33:48 > 2:33:535.00 on BBC Two. Enjoy that, perhaps best forgetting this one from now,

2:33:53 > 2:33:55from all of us goodbye.

2:34:06 > 2:34:10Staking a claim, we Georgia are good enough to play you, Wales. No. 12 in

2:34:10 > 2:34:14the world, we want to be in Europe's top six.

2:34:14 > 2:34:22Knocking on the door. The answer... They have to wait.

2:34:22 > 2:34:34Priestland. Amos for the line. Amos! Wales 10, Georgia 6. Good tackle.

2:34:34 > 2:34:38They saw it coming. Priestland.
