:00:17. > :00:24.It is two wins in a row for Wales... Off the line, no stopping them now!
:00:25. > :00:31.That is a great try. Next up, it's Australia. It is going to be a
:00:32. > :00:33.brilliant try for Australia. Tonight we are the Liberty Stadium in
:00:34. > :00:40.Swansea, the last time the Aussies were here, this happened.
:00:41. > :00:47.A dramatic and a historic win for Australia. Tonight, we have a
:00:48. > :00:52.special guest, an all-black legend, a former Osprey and a man who would
:00:53. > :00:54.love to see Wales beat the Wallabies tomorrow and to see his old side
:00:55. > :00:59.triumph tonight. Brown nine of the PRO12 and the
:01:00. > :01:04.Ospreys welcome Glasgow, a bonus point win could see them go top of
:01:05. > :01:08.the league. -- round nine. Second versus fourth
:01:09. > :01:11.today, Glasgow's storming campaign has stuttered of late have the six
:01:12. > :01:16.straight victories, they have now lost two of the last three including
:01:17. > :01:20.a 23-8 reverse to the Dragons last week. The Ospreys have one five from
:01:21. > :01:24.eight. A bonus point win could see them get it monster failed to get a
:01:25. > :01:30.point at Rodney Parade. That one kicks off at 715 PM. We will get
:01:31. > :01:35.updates from -- if Munster failed to get a point. Welcome to probe a
:01:36. > :01:38.macro from a wintry Liberty Stadium a warm welcome to Justin Marshall.
:01:39. > :01:44.Good to be back on the old stomping ground. It absolutely is, very
:01:45. > :01:50.nostalgic to be back coming in here, I felt like it did as a player
:01:51. > :01:54.coming into the car park, they let buyers get a preferred parking space
:01:55. > :01:59.but anyway... It is great to see Sean back again, like the Wolf man
:02:00. > :02:07.but I have seen more bum fluff on a little baby. It is good to be here
:02:08. > :02:11.mixing with the locals, I love playing here. November is a tough
:02:12. > :02:16.and challenging time for all the PRO12 sides, because they are taken
:02:17. > :02:19.away from all their star players. The autumn campaign, Glasgow are
:02:20. > :02:26.fully loaded. The Ospreys comparatively weaker, that must make
:02:27. > :02:29.Glasgow the favourites? Absolutely, when you got the likes of the
:02:30. > :02:35.international players and talent in that side, you have got the grind of
:02:36. > :02:38.this type of competition, may have to go in as favourites and I am
:02:39. > :02:40.looking forward to see some of their talent laboured equally looking
:02:41. > :02:44.forward to the young players getting an opportunity for the Ospreys
:02:45. > :02:46.because the Welsh players being rested. I remember as a young
:02:47. > :02:52.player, when I was in that situation, particularly when you are
:02:53. > :02:56.going up against a full strength side, you will issue the chance to
:02:57. > :03:02.compete against world-class players. Thank you, Justin. You mentioned
:03:03. > :03:09.Sean Holley, he is in our analysis truck with a sporting beard. One of
:03:10. > :03:17.the players is making his PRO12 first start. Two Sams who we may not
:03:18. > :03:26.know much about. Sam Davies at ten tonight, which means the selector
:03:27. > :03:30.might want a bit more of someone in the Matthew Morgan mould. First
:03:31. > :03:35.PRO12 starts with a consummate kicker, one of the most talented
:03:36. > :03:39.kicker is that I have worked with, his control of big aim is mature and
:03:40. > :03:44.a bit of a throwback to his father, Nigel Davies but it is his vision
:03:45. > :03:47.that really impresses me, heads up, scanning the defence and dropping
:03:48. > :03:52.the ball onto his right foot into space for his wing to score. Sam
:03:53. > :03:59.Lewis is somebody on Warren Gatland's radar, I can tell you.
:04:00. > :04:02.Watch this, kids at home. Great long ball presentation. He likes to offer
:04:03. > :04:07.himself and carry the ball in open play but the nuts and bolts of his
:04:08. > :04:10.game are really tidy. It is in defence over the ball but he is
:04:11. > :04:16.really strong. Getting beyond the ball, he has a low centre of mass
:04:17. > :04:19.which allows him to get underneath the opposition and when the
:04:20. > :04:24.turnovers which is really important. They will have a big impact on
:04:25. > :04:27.tonight's game. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing both of those
:04:28. > :04:36.tonight. The team is almost ready to come out. Dennis Davis is on the
:04:37. > :04:41.Welsh language commentary. A man who knows exactly what it is like to
:04:42. > :04:45.beat the Aussies, then world champions back in 1992, Stuart
:04:46. > :04:51.Davies. COMMENTATOR: It is wintry but it is
:04:52. > :04:56.pretty much perfect conditions and we have got two teams who probably
:04:57. > :05:04.want to play a bit of rugby as well. Glasgow, back up to full strength.
:05:05. > :05:16.A couple of South Africans in the back row. Behind them, a great back
:05:17. > :05:23.three as far as finishing goes, Sean Lamont and Chris Cusiter. And after
:05:24. > :05:28.last week, especially me you would think that Glasgow would be really
:05:29. > :05:31.busting a gut to bounce back as we can see Alastair Kellock there.
:05:32. > :05:36.Absolutely, a timely fixture for them. The top six in the league
:05:37. > :05:41.table and it is starting to take shape. For them to come to the
:05:42. > :05:47.Liberty Stadium and take out the Ospreys, great rivals for a top four
:05:48. > :05:52.finish, very timely for them. I agree with Justin Marshall, it is
:05:53. > :05:55.the time of year where people can put on the jersey to see what they
:05:56. > :05:57.can do. So let's hope the young Ospreys team is up for it this
:05:58. > :06:07.evening. Duncan Jones takes over the
:06:08. > :06:13.captaincy as he has done for his country, Aaron Jarvis has been with
:06:14. > :06:19.the Welsh squad as has James King and he has been released as well.
:06:20. > :06:28.The Canadian got himself on the scoresheet last week. Tyler Ardron.
:06:29. > :06:33.Sam Davies gets a first outing at ten, it'll be interesting to see how
:06:34. > :06:37.goes. And the knock-on effect is that the Ospreys wench in
:06:38. > :06:43.particular, with a lot of unfamiliar names.
:06:44. > :06:51.Al Dirksen Olive is for Wales in the New Year. -- qualifies for Wales.
:06:52. > :06:59.After coming off the bench the week before. Dudley Phillips the man in
:07:00. > :07:00.charge of Ireland. -- Dudley Phillips of Ireland, the man in
:07:01. > :07:12.charge. Sam Davies immediately gets it away
:07:13. > :07:13.from the bulk of the forwards. And immediately, the Ospreys will be
:07:14. > :07:23.looking to get possession. As Movember draws to a close, there
:07:24. > :07:34.are some beauties on display today! That is a beast!
:07:35. > :07:47.They have failed to get possession, Ospreys.
:07:48. > :07:59.A penalty immediately coming Glasgow's way.
:08:00. > :08:13.Good quick recycling by Glasgow in the opening stages. Tommy Seymour is
:08:14. > :08:14.making a name for himself in the international scene as well, here's
:08:15. > :09:02.another one. Well, the Ospreys giving penalties
:09:03. > :09:09.away in this first attacking phase to Glasgow and it is just about
:09:10. > :09:12.knocking it out of the way quick in. All these tactics of slowing the
:09:13. > :09:18.ball down and employed these days, referees are getting sharper with
:09:19. > :09:22.it. Watch the corresponding fixtures could together last year at the back
:09:23. > :09:27.end of last season and very impressed with the rugby played by
:09:28. > :09:42.Glasgow, they are very capable side these days.
:09:43. > :09:51.That looks pretty good. And indeed it is from Ruaridh Jackson. And
:09:52. > :10:38.Glasgow get the first points of the evening.
:10:39. > :10:54.A poor decision from him. It was a lazy kick. Tyler Ardron getting in
:10:55. > :11:18.there, keeping the ball in the air. A nice, cool take by Stuart Hogg. It
:11:19. > :11:26.is not often you see an up and under that deep in an opposition's R. When
:11:27. > :11:33.you think how hard it is to break opposition's defences, it could be a
:11:34. > :11:37.trite time here. A very solid take from the Lions fullback. Not enough
:11:38. > :12:54.pressure on the kick, though. They are trying to generate some
:12:55. > :13:09.atmosphere and what is a pretty soulless cauldron at the moment.
:13:10. > :13:20.Chris Cusiter, 64 caps for Scotland. But the problem lies in to
:13:21. > :13:23.international front rows. I hope it will not be one of those nights.
:13:24. > :14:48.has disappeared and they will have to build it again.
:14:49. > :15:05.It is the boot of Tebaldi that gets them towards halfway.
:15:06. > :15:32.This is a good tackle. Just getting in there.
:15:33. > :16:54.Kellock getting the ball away before the tackle comes in.
:16:55. > :17:22.Between they are from Sam Davies, but did not really time it.
:17:23. > :17:36.Ben John is really getting through a lot of defensive work early on.
:17:37. > :17:49.A kick from Fussell just about makes it, but taken, as Glasgow looks to
:17:50. > :17:55.keep the pressure on. That was very well played by Sam Lewis. Making the
:17:56. > :17:59.tackle, gets up, but he does not have to go round and come in the
:18:00. > :18:10.gate, he can come from the attacking side. And he did it very well.
:18:11. > :18:21.Let's have a chat down on the punch line -- touchline. How difficult is
:18:22. > :18:27.it for the Glasgow big guns coming off an autumn series to do this
:18:28. > :18:35.tonight? A bit of adjustment, game plan is
:18:36. > :18:41.slightly different, but in the opening exchanges here, Glasgow have
:18:42. > :18:47.started quickly, looking good, good rhythm, passing well, they have not
:18:48. > :18:56.suffered any ill effects, like they have been doing it all year. And the
:18:57. > :19:01.chants for the... -- and the chants for the youngsters in the Ospreys to
:19:02. > :19:05.do well? They meant to add the team play of the game, a couple of kicks
:19:06. > :19:12.they could have gone in quickly with. What they want to do is use
:19:13. > :19:16.their mobility, already with a couple of turnovers. If they can
:19:17. > :19:20.make the game a little less predictable for Glasgow, anything
:19:21. > :19:28.can happen, with that youth and talent, raw and untried, but
:19:29. > :19:35.exuberant. Fancy it? No way. I am glad to be retired. Coming out in a
:19:36. > :19:41.rash just this close to the touchline.
:19:42. > :19:49.You look at the physicality of the game these days, the hits going in
:19:50. > :19:53.early on. He was put on his backside with that one. And if someone shows
:19:54. > :20:03.you their rents, that is a lovely pet is that Lloyd Peers enjoying the
:20:04. > :20:20.moment. -- someone shows you their ribs, that is a lovely hit.
:20:21. > :20:30.We enjoyed it the first time at a slower pace, now in slow motion.
:20:31. > :20:38.Your eyes and of the tackle, you know it is coming, nothing you can
:20:39. > :20:43.do. He was just concentrating on the ball, making sure it took the pass,
:20:44. > :20:48.then all of a sudden. Bang! You took the words out of my
:20:49. > :21:10.mouth. That was good. It did go forward
:21:11. > :21:41.from Sam Lewis, even though Tebaldi was there to recover.
:21:42. > :21:48.It is only on a few occasions the Ospreys have been dining Glasgow
:21:49. > :21:58.territory. The set piece ball has been pretty poor, not allowing them
:21:59. > :22:05.the platform to work from. They are not going to win this game if the
:22:06. > :22:08.line-up continues, that is for sure. And the control we expect they are
:22:09. > :22:14.from Sam Davies, the cultured left foot. That was a very good gig, you
:22:15. > :22:19.can see what he was trying to achieve, decision made, excellent
:22:20. > :22:24.execution. Woman is already in this game where there have been lazy
:22:25. > :22:27.kicks, people running out of ideas, putting boot to ball just for the
:22:28. > :22:33.sake of it, something Wales should be mindful of tomorrow. If you are
:22:34. > :22:47.kicking, there has to be a reason. Aaron Jarvis just getting some
:22:48. > :22:50.treatment at the moment. It will be interesting tomorrow. Australia
:22:51. > :22:57.building slowly, after the disappointment at Twickenham. People
:22:58. > :23:07.like Wade Cooper back on form, and they have others back. They have
:23:08. > :23:28.certainly got some confidence. Glasgow just looking for one or two
:23:29. > :23:31.more carries, just to give either one of the halfbacks are little more
:23:32. > :23:41.time to get a little more time to get clearance. And a great catch by
:23:42. > :23:48.Tom Seymour. Just talking about the kicking game, that was perfect. Very
:23:49. > :23:57.well-placed kicks. Gave his winger a chance, an early jump, very well
:23:58. > :24:20.retrieved. Born in Nashville, Tennessee.
:24:21. > :24:32.Jeff Hassler motor burned and completed superb approach work by
:24:33. > :24:39.Tom Isaacs. Superbly finished! Bones lay -- bouncing ball initially. No
:24:40. > :24:45.wonder they are shaking hands. He went for a gap, drawing the
:24:46. > :24:54.fullback, putting your winger in, that is textbook stuff. Very well
:24:55. > :25:02.finished. I mean that from the point of view of Isaacs, rather than
:25:03. > :25:23.Hassler, who had the run in. Third try in the league for Jeff Hassler.
:25:24. > :25:31.An excellent conversion from wide out by Sam Davies. And the Ospreys
:25:32. > :25:36.taking the only opportunity that has come their way. Constantly sees the
:25:37. > :25:40.numbers, takes the outside lane, running hard, comes in high, put
:25:41. > :26:25.your winger in, very well played. Davis was playing the corners, are
:26:26. > :26:32.very well directed kick. -- Davies was playing the corners. And not a
:26:33. > :26:34.bad reward therefore the Ospreys. A very nice kick initially from
:26:35. > :26:49.Davies. No chance for Aaron Jarvis
:26:50. > :27:09.initially. James King was waiting there for
:27:10. > :27:21.Lloyd Peers, but taken on by Sam Davies. Isaacs again showing good
:27:22. > :27:28.strength. Great anger from Sam Lewis as well, kept alive by Fussell. It
:27:29. > :27:36.was all getting a bit cramped and crowded. Yeah, unfortunately, Isaacs
:27:37. > :27:42.tries to cut a line, makes the yardage, an opportunity for quick
:27:43. > :27:47.ball, but no sheep, no structure behind. Tebaldi looking weird old
:27:48. > :27:55.open space is, but no biplane, having to come back to the big eyes.
:27:56. > :28:03.But Isaacs giving them a target, doing well. Former scrum-half,
:28:04. > :28:26.converted to centre, Tom Isaacs. Was the referee blowing his whistle
:28:27. > :28:37.really loudly, or was it just... ? LAUGHTER. Is it maybe just the sound
:28:38. > :28:48.levels? It is the sound levels, and it will clear some wax
:28:49. > :28:54.levels? It is the sound levels, and not think of getting a little
:28:55. > :29:01.moustache, did you? Not this year, maybe next year. It
:29:02. > :29:03.would suit you. Those were the days. And a very well delivered ball there
:29:04. > :29:23.by Gray. Did the Ospreys turn it over? Not
:29:24. > :29:25.quite. It will be a penalty. A change of direction from Stuart
:29:26. > :29:45.Hogg. A long advantage being played in
:29:46. > :29:57.Glasgow's favour. Jackson wants to use the blindside again. An
:29:58. > :30:00.infringement there by Tebaldi. He has not come back to where the
:30:01. > :30:08.infringement was, I do not think. It is an easier kick there. It is a
:30:09. > :30:18.cheap one, isn't it? They should not be giving points away like that.
:30:19. > :30:27.Cusiter rules are back with his hand. -- rolls it back. I think
:30:28. > :30:35.referees tend to think, come on, give the scrum-half chants. -- a
:30:36. > :30:39.chance. The fact that the scrum-half's hands on the ball, has
:30:40. > :30:48.not mean it is out. But when it is rollback, for me, just play on. Do
:30:49. > :30:49.not hang onto it. One of those areas where there is not the clarity
:30:50. > :31:01.required, really. A comfortable strike from Ruaridh
:31:02. > :31:34.Jackson, Glasgow back within a point.
:31:35. > :31:40.A change of direction, but didn't get very far, Jackson. Ardron did
:31:41. > :32:14.very well there. There was space there, a nice
:32:15. > :32:17.turnover ball and he gains territory but Glasgow are showing a bit of
:32:18. > :32:22.ambition and paying a price, stripped. The scrum-half, Tebaldi,
:32:23. > :32:32.did the initial ripping. They want to go for a drive from
:32:33. > :33:16.here. Scott Baldwin is in charge. Drop goal, I think. Sam Davies is in
:33:17. > :33:21.position. A sensible thing to do and that is very coolly and very
:33:22. > :33:30.correctly done by Sam Davies. Not just the job goal that might drop
:33:31. > :33:37.goal but the marshalling their, they did not have shaped behind, no
:33:38. > :33:39.momentum so they send people up to act as blockers, drop back and a
:33:40. > :34:01.very sweet drop goal. Only a couple of times that Ospreys
:34:02. > :34:02.have been down in Glasgow territory and they come away with points each
:34:03. > :34:32.time. Seymour has proved to be a handful
:34:33. > :34:39.in the early stages, a former Ulster winger.
:34:40. > :34:48.The Ospreys pushing up again quickly in midfield. Stuart Hogg comes
:34:49. > :34:51.late... I think that is a poor decision, I think Sam Davies gets
:34:52. > :34:55.himself into a bit of a defensive mess there.
:34:56. > :35:06.It would be nice to have a look at that one. I have a gut feeling, the
:35:07. > :35:13.gut feeling is harsh on the Glasgow attackers.
:35:14. > :35:22.Phil, where are you? I am with the Ospreys back coach. The midfield
:35:23. > :35:27.triangle with Sam Davies of the two centres, how pleasing is that? We
:35:28. > :35:31.have asked for that physicality and we are certainly getting that and
:35:32. > :35:36.Sam Davies is putting us in the right areas after a jittery start so
:35:37. > :35:42.pleasing so far. Tom Isaacs has had three clear line breaks, but we have
:35:43. > :35:49.not seen much of him this season. He is here to do a job tonight. Is the
:35:50. > :35:55.coach, when you have been down in territory, you have made it pay.
:35:56. > :35:58.That has been one of the focus points, to get into the 22 without
:35:59. > :36:00.forcing pressure but we are taking some points at the moment. Well
:36:01. > :36:55.done. I don't think he even needed to pass
:36:56. > :37:03.there. I was thinking how crisp and accurate the Glasgow passing was and
:37:04. > :37:07.then he threw a monster. Nice pass, brings him on to pace but he does
:37:08. > :37:12.not return the compliment. That is into the second row of the stand!
:37:13. > :37:13.Canadian against Canadian and I think he had the legs on Tyler
:37:14. > :37:36.Ardron, he didn't quite realise it. A little bit overcomplicated. It was
:37:37. > :37:42.missed time, I think. There is a point at which Hassler is running up
:37:43. > :37:50.the line, things, I'm not having that, and passed him. A preplanned
:37:51. > :37:51.move but it is not happening. They had to go for something off the
:37:52. > :38:35.cuff, there. REFEREE: I want you working hard on
:38:36. > :38:38.your bind. On the far side between Ryan Grant and Aaron Jarvis. The
:38:39. > :38:57.problems that seem to be stemming. He had a great view of that,
:38:58. > :39:05.straight down the tunnel. Come on, let's get some pace going.
:39:06. > :39:51.Oh, dear. That makes such a difference.
:39:52. > :40:08.Not the greatest bout of kicking ever. No.
:40:09. > :40:19.Great adjustment by Stuart Hogg! Shame about the end result. He did
:40:20. > :40:27.well, actually. There is a sense that he mess this up a bit but he
:40:28. > :40:32.did very well. Until... Yes, a bit of a slice.
:40:33. > :41:23.Not looking like much of a Lions ten with that one.
:41:24. > :41:30.There is a penalty coming. This should be three easy points for Sam
:41:31. > :41:45.Davies. This should keep the Ospreys
:41:46. > :41:49.scoreboard ticking over. You do sometimes wonder how players are
:41:50. > :42:00.supposed to get out of that tangled mess in the bottom of a ruck. 20 in
:42:01. > :42:02.March, Jonny Gray. He joined his brother Richie Gray in Scotland
:42:03. > :42:28.colours this year. A good strike and the Ospreys will
:42:29. > :42:31.be happy to take every point they can and try to take the game away
:42:32. > :43:18.from Glasgow, as they are doing at the moment.
:43:19. > :43:35.Mr Laudrup, are you watching? Not quite sure how many Rick O'Shea's,
:43:36. > :43:40.and who off. It all happened so quickly.
:43:41. > :43:47.I think there was a bit of ten John in that as well, a glancing blow. --
:43:48. > :44:00.Ben John. I am not sure what Mr Laudrup would
:44:01. > :44:06.appreciate more, the volley or the glancing header. They are both in
:44:07. > :44:23.with a shout, the way it was played last night.
:44:24. > :44:32.That has gone against the guy who has just come on, Graham Knoop
:44:33. > :44:39.replacing Lloyd Peers. Plays rugby for Bridgend. I think he comes from
:44:40. > :45:10.Cape Town, think I am right in saying.
:45:11. > :45:24.Stolen by James King. And he had not gone back, as told.
:45:25. > :45:27.Again, great determined running from Tom Isaacs, certainly putting his
:45:28. > :45:42.hand up this evening. Sam Davies is finding some nice
:45:43. > :45:46.positions, possibly overdoing that a little bit. Especially with a return
:45:47. > :46:02.kick like that. It is a cultured left foot, no doubt
:46:03. > :46:05.about that. Just need to know when to use it and when to pass. Return
:46:06. > :46:13.kick is the better one. Just a couple of minutes of the
:46:14. > :46:38.first half remaining. Isaacs certainly the most dynamic of
:46:39. > :47:33.the Ospreys pairs. It looked like a good set, Graham
:47:34. > :47:42.Knoop penalised year. -- penalised here. Watch the body angles of
:47:43. > :47:46.people, all coming into contact with players on the floor, his knees went
:47:47. > :47:51.on the floor, shoulders on the tackle player, but every ruck could
:47:52. > :48:01.get a whistle for that if you want it. Last chance for Glasgow in the
:48:02. > :48:04.first half. And that has gone. In fairness to the Ospreys, you made
:48:05. > :48:12.the point earlier, Glasgow have looked the better side for a lot of
:48:13. > :48:16.the half with passing movements. Every time the Ospreys have gone
:48:17. > :48:18.into the Glasgow have, they have turned that scoreboard over. --
:48:19. > :48:37.Glasgow half. You would assume that the Ospreys
:48:38. > :48:43.would be happy enough just to get the ball off the park and settle
:48:44. > :48:48.down in the changing room. I could strive -- a good drive from Glasgow,
:48:49. > :48:57.but no time to capitalise, because that is the end of the first 40. And
:48:58. > :49:04.it started brightly for Glasgow, but the Ospreys got better, leading
:49:05. > :49:10.13-6. Phil? How pleasing was that, particularly
:49:11. > :49:15.from the youngsters? We are clinging in, a tough battle, could go either
:49:16. > :49:22.way. Sam is controlling well, part of the team. Have a good one.
:49:23. > :49:29.Cheers. And the story for the other half.
:49:30. > :49:33.It was a cold night, but plenty of facial here to protect the players
:49:34. > :49:38.from the elements. The visitors arrived highly fancied after their
:49:39. > :49:45.Scottish internationals. They kicked off with a lead through Ruaridh
:49:46. > :49:47.Jackson. But great work from Tom Isaacs. Ruaridh Jackson kept the
:49:48. > :49:55.visitors in touch with another penalty to get them within one. But
:49:56. > :50:00.Sam Davies kept the Ospreys first, first drop goal, then another
:50:01. > :50:09.penalty to bring them into a 13-6/2-time lead at the Liberty
:50:10. > :50:13.Stadium. -- 13-6 half time lead. Possession is almost exactly even
:50:14. > :50:21.Stephen. Just one incursion into Glasgow's 22. The tackles missed,
:50:22. > :50:25.just four for Glasgow, Duncan Jones making the point that they were
:50:26. > :50:31.clinging on. Justin, we spoke at the start how Glasgow were overwhelming
:50:32. > :50:33.favourites, despite being visitors, because of the Scottish
:50:34. > :50:39.internationals. But the half-time lead, the Ospreys will be delighted?
:50:40. > :50:49.Absolutely delighted, particularly with Glasgow looking threatening.
:50:50. > :50:57.Ospreys, through Sam Davies, they have highlighted the kicking game.
:50:58. > :51:02.Davies was finding the field, making the ball bounce, and they won the
:51:03. > :51:05.territory better, ruthless taking their points, excellent for a young
:51:06. > :51:11.team to be down under half, limited time, but taking their chances, they
:51:12. > :51:18.will be more than delighted, because Glasgow look good with ball in hand,
:51:19. > :51:22.but their defence is problematic. Glasgow looked good with ball in
:51:23. > :51:28.hand, very fluid in early stages, but the Ospreys took that try
:51:29. > :51:33.extremely well. The dead, a lot of tries from turnover in the first
:51:34. > :51:40.second phase, which is where the Ospreys capitalised. -- they did.
:51:41. > :51:45.You see it goes over the top of Glasgow. And a lot of the Glasgow
:51:46. > :51:49.attack is congested, so that if Tebaldi gets it away quickly, they
:51:50. > :51:57.are all in that half of the field, just needing to find the edge of the
:51:58. > :52:02.defence. For youngsters at home, this is great, getting the wind,
:52:03. > :52:08.then it is easy for Hassler as the winger to run that in. Very timely.
:52:09. > :52:12.We talked about Tom Isaacs, not having much of a look in this
:52:13. > :52:17.season. Andrew Bishop was the first choice pairing, but Tom Isaacs has
:52:18. > :52:29.shown some real fire in his belly. Hour he has. -- he has. What he did
:52:30. > :52:34.there is what was highlighted. When he got an opportunity, it can be
:52:35. > :52:42.easy to be insular, take the easy option. But it was the timing of his
:52:43. > :52:48.past, with two Glasgow players around, he brought the player then,
:52:49. > :52:52.which set Hassler away. It is the old Dutch as he has had, using his
:52:53. > :53:00.footwork, getting over the advantage line. -- it is the fit touch work he
:53:01. > :53:14.has had. He can kick on the move rather than statically. And there
:53:15. > :53:18.two Sams, Sam Lewis and Sam Davies, following them closely, what have
:53:19. > :53:25.you find out? Sam Davies with some control, Sam Lewis, his older
:53:26. > :53:30.brother Ben had to finish because of injury, both doing very well. With
:53:31. > :53:35.Sam Lewis, we said at the start, his hold of the ball was good, but great
:53:36. > :53:40.chop tackles, seven in the first half. We can see him combining with
:53:41. > :53:47.red-22-macro, getting on his feet and winning the turnover. --
:53:48. > :53:51.combining with Ardron. Sam Davies has been intelligently controlling
:53:52. > :53:55.the game, a very kicking game, carrying the ball more than any
:53:56. > :54:01.other Osprey player. Right from the start of the game, this first
:54:02. > :54:10.restart, great hand time and height are loving the front that right from
:54:11. > :54:15.the start. A good kick, but not a very good chase from Ben John. That
:54:16. > :54:20.puts Ospreys on the front foot, winning the territory battle. If he
:54:21. > :54:26.takes these sorts of things, it keeps the scoreboard ticking over, a
:54:27. > :54:34.good first half from Sam Davies. Is the IRB Young Player of the Year. A
:54:35. > :54:39.very different kind of fly half. The difficult guy to pin down. Sam
:54:40. > :54:47.Lewis. Sam Davies, what have you made of? Gill macro outstanding, for
:54:48. > :54:53.a young player... -- outstanding, for a young player. The ball was
:54:54. > :54:58.static, but he got back in the pocket, decided they needed to go
:54:59. > :55:04.again. He was calm enough, accurately making the kick, so
:55:05. > :55:09.looking at what he is doing is very good. A real talent, I have been
:55:10. > :55:17.impressed. And Nigel Davies is his father, former Wales international
:55:18. > :55:21.and Gloucester head coach now. And Justin's successor in the number
:55:22. > :55:31.nine jersey, teetotal Baldi, perhaps going off the ball recently? -- Tito
:55:32. > :55:36.Tebaldi. Hour when he gets involved in new Ospreys system, he needs to
:55:37. > :55:46.have a very specific role. But some chinks in the armour. You see some
:55:47. > :55:50.splits defence. They should adopt a marker, a sweeper in the backfield,
:55:51. > :55:59.but Fussell should be sweeping behind but any chinks in that area.
:56:00. > :56:05.-- but Tebaldi should be sweeping behind. That was an easy three
:56:06. > :56:10.points. There are good beaver blindside wing tackling. -- there
:56:11. > :56:15.could be the blindside wing tackling. But he could make a
:56:16. > :56:20.tackle, bouncing off, and Glasgow get the ball forward. He then joined
:56:21. > :56:27.in a ruck when he did not need to, coming through when he had no right
:56:28. > :56:30.to. He would only commit there if you really felt he could win the
:56:31. > :56:38.ball or slow it up, though pure play. I'd
:56:39. > :56:49.he has nothing but good things to say about you? Very continental,
:56:50. > :56:57.which I do appreciate. -- very complimentary. What happens in that
:56:58. > :57:00.good position, you can direct. You can fish defenders into that
:57:01. > :57:06.position. I do not know if his English is good enough. You want to
:57:07. > :57:11.stay where you are so you can sweep and see what is happening from the
:57:12. > :57:15.old fence. But use other players and push them into the Spence. But
:57:16. > :57:20.instead he seems to want to go for the confrontation. But you then have
:57:21. > :57:27.to make the tackles, which he is not doing, compounding the problem. And
:57:28. > :57:30.the second half on its way. I'm not long before Wales against Joe you.
:57:31. > :57:41.And here is how the rest of the sporting weekend is shaping up.
:57:42. > :57:49.I have done your guff ten years, ice bats, everything I can to go out and
:57:50. > :58:01.train every day. -- I have done yoga, ice baths. Do everything I
:58:02. > :58:15.can. In another life, could you have done it? He definitely has the power
:58:16. > :58:21.in the legs. Plenty more sport coming your way,
:58:22. > :58:29.getting other value for our money from Justin, also on Sport Wales at
:58:30. > :58:38.9pm tonight. And we saw Becky Giggs there, and is a happy birthday to
:58:39. > :58:42.both Becky and Ryan Giggs today. And you cannot have failed to notice the
:58:43. > :58:46.amount of visual here on some of the players giving this international
:58:47. > :58:48.period. Some growing moustaches with more success than others. Here is
:58:49. > :59:39.the pick of the bunch. Some of those need work, let's be
:59:40. > :59:46.honest, now to cross to the touchline. It is Mr Phil Steele.
:59:47. > :59:54.Thank you, I have Eli Walker with me. You had to withdrawal from the
:59:55. > :00:03.Six Nations, for the autumns. How is it now? Still pretty early days. I
:00:04. > :00:06.have another six or seven days. I had some injections over the last
:00:07. > :00:13.couple of days, which will hope the Laceby. Recovery. -- which will
:00:14. > :00:18.hopefully speed up recovery. It was one of the happiest moments I've my
:00:19. > :00:23.career to get chosen, then one of the lowest. But I have to crack on
:00:24. > :00:28.and try to get back on as soon as possible. But you have time on your
:00:29. > :00:46.side, what are your hopes for the future? What about tonight, some of
:00:47. > :00:52.the young guys doing very well. When the game opens up a bit, I think
:00:53. > :00:55.they will surprise a few guys. Is big for everybody on Scrum V and for
:00:56. > :01:02.all our viewers when we say we hope you up back on the Welsh side very
:01:03. > :01:07.soon. Thank you. At Rodney Parade, it is 3-3 between the Dragons and
:01:08. > :01:11.monster. The one for the Dragons. ROSS HARRIES: The players are back
:01:12. > :01:17.on the pitch, the second half is about to get under way so we can get
:01:18. > :01:20.back to our comedy team. -- commentary team.
:01:21. > :01:34.COMMENTATOR: Dragons have just gone ahead 6-3. Dragons with that
:01:35. > :01:44.tremendous win up in their game there.
:01:45. > :01:59.Tell me they haven't gone off their feet in a similar way.
:02:00. > :02:36.Chris Cusiter did well to get himself away from those big men. The
:02:37. > :02:41.supporting players are again the ones picked out a Dudley Phillips.
:02:42. > :03:12.-- picked out by Dudley Phillips. Good work from the big fella. That
:03:13. > :03:16.sort of contact, always worth a look if you can keep the ball alive. And
:03:17. > :03:34.a penalty as we saw off the feet. His first outing in the RaboDirect
:03:35. > :03:48.league, Sam Davies. And he is showing himself very well indeed.
:03:49. > :04:38.That was not a bad looking kick. A very good recovery. Not a good pass.
:04:39. > :04:46.That was an excellent kick. He looks up, sees the space and makes it very
:04:47. > :04:54.well. Ben John coming on a very good angle here. They sometimes look
:04:55. > :05:18.worse because the person passing falls off it.
:05:19. > :05:23.There are a lot of left footed players out there. We have seen
:05:24. > :05:26.plenty of good kicks from them but that was not that one. A bit of a
:05:27. > :05:45.Mulan Rouge moustache. Ospreys have started off the second
:05:46. > :06:11.half with a purpose. Good, efficient recycling, the ball nicely laid out.
:06:12. > :06:17.The crowd are frustrated with Tebaldi. He needed to get that one
:06:18. > :06:36.going. Id just slides wide. And over
:06:37. > :06:44.snatched attempt. That was poor from the Ospreys. You can understand,
:06:45. > :06:48.slow ball, a bit forced. They end up in this position with a snap drop
:06:49. > :07:09.goal because Tebaldi was laboured in the rucks beforehand.
:07:10. > :07:19.World player of the year at under 21 level.
:07:20. > :08:53.A bit of luck for Sam Davies, straight into his hands from that
:08:54. > :09:05.kick. But is a shocking kick. It might
:09:06. > :09:12.have the advantage of the knock-on. I was watching that. He had not
:09:13. > :09:17.looked up to see where anyone was and then straight down the throat of
:09:18. > :09:45.the fullback of this deciding -- after deciding to go for the kick.
:09:46. > :10:27.The crowd are getting excited. Unfortunately, just a little fumble
:10:28. > :10:37.forward. It was a lovely pass from Jeff Hassler. Time enough to really
:10:38. > :10:41.come on to it at pace. Running hard, Hanno Dirksen, we know he can do it.
:10:42. > :10:44.The knock-on does not come from him, the referee allows the first on that
:10:45. > :11:12.on the second one on the pick-up, there it is.
:11:13. > :11:22.The referee having a word with the scrums but the last couple,
:11:23. > :11:45.certainly Glasgow looking to have a squeeze on in the last one.
:11:46. > :12:46.Again, it is Glasgow going forward with the scrum.
:12:47. > :12:54.The game is just so stop -start, there is nothing really getting
:12:55. > :13:00.going. Even to the extent of even though Rob Harley got the ball back,
:13:01. > :13:07.have straight is this? It was certainly of centre but not that
:13:08. > :13:15.bad. -- off centre. The way it is going, you wouldn't think that the
:13:16. > :13:17.crowd would mind it being Glasgow possession, just as long as it was a
:13:18. > :13:26.bit of Rod B. -- a bit of rugby. REFEREE: Lets get your feet up on
:13:27. > :13:54.your body a bit more. The jargons turning just ahead --
:13:55. > :13:58.the Dragons. Munster, components of Victor 's relaxed weekend --
:13:59. > :14:45.comprehensive victors last weekend. Sometimes, something like that can
:14:46. > :14:59.spark something. It is definitely what the game needs.
:15:00. > :15:03.An offside call coming against the defence led by Ryan Grant for
:15:04. > :15:24.Glasgow. A good tackle, it needed to be. And
:15:25. > :15:33.slowed down by Glasgow, as they try to get their defence in order.
:15:34. > :15:48.Time and again, Glasgow told to release. Now then, is that going to
:15:49. > :15:58.be enough for the referee? I was thinking similarly.
:15:59. > :16:13.Nice little scissors, but Fussell knows what is waiting. Takes the
:16:14. > :16:21.tackle, but Dirksen screaming at the refs, I need to be allied to be play
:16:22. > :16:23.it. Eventually, the whistle comes. -- screening at the referee, I need
:16:24. > :16:43.to be allowed to play it. Another successful Sam Davies Tech,
:16:44. > :16:53.opening a two score gap, Phil? A big night in the Premiership
:16:54. > :16:54.tonight, and the latest cause, -- and we have some of the litre
:16:55. > :17:07.scores. Enter loosely, -- interestingly,
:17:08. > :17:19.Nigel Owens is refereeing tonight. There has been one crowd changed
:17:20. > :17:26.tonight. Row F, Seat Six, Replaced by Mr Lewis? LAUGHTER.
:17:27. > :17:29.A raft of changes by Glasgow, Alan Jarvis has departed from the Ospreys
:17:30. > :18:04.front row. James King, crashed into the Glasgow
:18:05. > :19:00.midfield. The Ospreys having a glut of ball in
:19:01. > :19:06.the second half. Running harder as well. Close to the action again, Sam
:19:07. > :19:15.Davies. Dirksen looking for even more work,
:19:16. > :19:35.and more contact. Again, fends off his man so easily,
:19:36. > :19:50.putting Ospreys in a great position. Slightly isolated! It was a good
:19:51. > :19:55.position. Strauss wanted to get the wraparound tackle, just to slow
:19:56. > :20:06.things down. Morgan Allan just about controlling things. Tebaldi had a go
:20:07. > :20:23.as well. Ever closer to that Glasgow try-line. A bit more with behind --
:20:24. > :20:36.more width behind. It is all in vain.
:20:37. > :20:44.The Ospreys have paid the ultimate price for keeping the ball to type,
:20:45. > :20:54.losing possession, as Glasgow go all the way down and Chris Cusiter gets
:20:55. > :20:58.the dry. -- gets the try. Great from Glasgow, very poor from the Ospreys,
:20:59. > :21:06.if you get isolated, you are finished, he gets the toff. -- he
:21:07. > :21:13.gets fixed off. That said and the arm, backs and self, then the
:21:14. > :21:21.one-handed like, he is fortunate it was Cusiter, a very PC run on the
:21:22. > :21:27.outside to run it in. Very well taken try, good shadowing the ball
:21:28. > :21:32.as well by Lamont, and Ben John would not get anywhere near him.
:21:33. > :21:35.Good finishing by Glasgow and the Ospreys will be kicking themselves
:21:36. > :21:50.for losing possession more or less on Glasgow's try-line.
:21:51. > :22:06.It just drifts across the face, but Glasgow back in it now. Well, it has
:22:07. > :22:11.been the Ospreys' half, but despite all that position, not only did the
:22:12. > :22:21.come away empty-handed, but they had to watch as Glasgow clinically
:22:22. > :22:31.finished. A great try from Cusiter's point of view, terrible
:22:32. > :22:42.for the Ospreys' point of view. A bad leg injury there. Have to"
:22:43. > :22:49.because they are heading back in the direction of Lamont. -- have to be
:22:50. > :22:57.careful. The medics doing their best to protect Lamont, but no option but
:22:58. > :23:12.for the referee to call a halt to play.
:23:13. > :23:21.That has rejuvenated the Glasgow team. It had hardly had their hands
:23:22. > :23:27.on the ball in the second half. And we know they can play rugby. All of
:23:28. > :23:32.a sudden, they have gone up a gear. But Lamont got caught, focusing on
:23:33. > :23:41.the tackle, just getting an Osprey across the lower leg as he turns. It
:23:42. > :23:45.has gone underneath him. Ouch! James King got a tackle in, and his right
:23:46. > :23:55.ankle gets trapped underneath there. Yeah. As a rugby player,
:23:56. > :23:59.subconsciously, putting yourself in the right position when you take a
:24:00. > :24:05.tackle, you know how to fall. Sometimes, you do not have the time
:24:06. > :24:13.or opportunity to get it right. Desperately bad luck for Shaun
:24:14. > :24:22.Lunt. -- desperately bad luck for Sean Lamont. And on an international
:24:23. > :24:30.weekend, Australia to come tomorrow. Highlights over the weekend. Glasgow
:24:31. > :24:39.put to the sword early on by Jeff Hassler, after Tom Isaacs' great
:24:40. > :24:46.work in midfield, then Lamont, from inside his 22, sets up Chris Cusiter
:24:47. > :24:51.beautifully and Cusiter had the pace to take it all the way home.
:24:52. > :24:57.Unfortunately, for Glasgow, it is the try creator who will be
:24:58. > :25:02.departing on the stretcher. I just want to show the viewers
:25:03. > :25:07.something from the last try, a great nation by Cusiter, but what Sean
:25:08. > :25:15.Lamont does, the injured player, a great break from a turnover. Running
:25:16. > :25:21.with the ball, if we stop it... He has of loaded it to Chris Cusiter,
:25:22. > :25:26.but he does not give up on his part, running out the defender. He
:25:27. > :25:32.is perfectly entitled to run the line Ben John has, he cuts off, and
:25:33. > :25:38.great off the ball play by Sean Lamont.
:25:39. > :25:45.That is the experience that 82 caps for Scotland gets you. And three
:25:46. > :25:52.years with the Scarlets, of course, just down the road. Ryan Giggs,
:25:53. > :25:59.Aaron Ramsey, Justin Marshall, on how to beat the Aussies. Someone
:26:00. > :26:07.needs to tell us, we have not done so forth several years. -- for
:26:08. > :26:18.several years. That game kicking off at five o'clock, live on BBC Two
:26:19. > :26:23.Wales, and also on radio Cymru. And five past seven kick-off for the
:26:24. > :26:34.Scarlets. Highlights of all the weekend's action, yet from the Rabo,
:26:35. > :26:40.-- would ever it is from, all over BBC coverage. Sean Lamont gets a
:26:41. > :26:45.sympathetic round of applause and we will go back down to fill.
:26:46. > :26:54.-- to Phil. Bad luck to him. The Dragons now
:26:55. > :26:58.lead Munster by 11-3. That will be a cracking win back-to-back for the
:26:59. > :27:02.Dragons if they can hang on, beating Glasgow last weekend, and that would
:27:03. > :27:13.be great if they could beat Munster as well. Thank you. Let us hope it
:27:14. > :27:19.is not too bad for Shaun Lunt. -- Sean Lamont.
:27:20. > :27:24.Phil Russell is on in his place. Starting in his game against the
:27:25. > :27:31.Dragons last week. One appearance of the bench last reason. Scottish
:27:32. > :27:41.under 20 international. -- Finn Russell is on in the place of
:27:42. > :28:08.Lamont. Any more scrums and there will be cards following.
:28:09. > :28:17.Certainly, a drive coming through the from Glasgow. The Ospreys pretty
:28:18. > :28:25.much imploding. Not an easy kick this one, though. It is Stuart Hogg
:28:26. > :28:33.who is taking over the kicking duties from distance.
:28:34. > :28:43.A good strike. That is a fine kick from Stuart Hogg. Now Glasgow are
:28:44. > :28:46.back within a kick, in the final quarter of the game. What do you
:28:47. > :28:54.think the Ospreys should be doing now? Glasgow have started like the
:28:55. > :28:58.Ospreys did. With limited amount of the ball, they are striking, so the
:28:59. > :29:03.Ospreys need to play the territory game, but now not taking the
:29:04. > :29:08.opportunities. We had a chance for turnover that resulted in a try.
:29:09. > :29:13.Glasgow need to play at the end of the field where the ball is, put
:29:14. > :29:21.pressure on and get three back. And rely more on the boot of Sam
:29:22. > :29:29.Davies. Get good positions. First of all, get the ball.
:29:30. > :29:40.Glasgow players claiming Fussell was outside. His boot was on the line
:29:41. > :29:42.says the referee. Newly ran out the 22, got a good kick away in the end.
:29:43. > :29:58.Certainly inside. It is game on now. 15 minutes
:29:59. > :30:01.remaining. Any points will do for Glasgow to get them ahead. Tom Ryder
:30:02. > :30:27.wins the line-up ball. Can anybody get up in support? He
:30:28. > :30:33.has run away from the rest of the Ospreys. Now they slowly arrive and
:30:34. > :30:35.Tebaldi slips in doing so and again, what was such a promising
:30:36. > :30:48.position comes to nothing. Morgan Allen does very well because
:30:49. > :30:51.he is running away and there is nobody with him. The option he has
:30:52. > :30:55.is to stop and start running backwards but no, he looked both
:30:56. > :31:00.ways and has to ride the tackle. Presents it very well. A one-man
:31:01. > :31:09.ruck. The feet go and the chance goes with it. He ran hard. He has
:31:10. > :31:19.carried his shell tonight, has Morgan Allen.
:31:20. > :31:23.He just drops the shoulder into the tackle and bounces in well. He knows
:31:24. > :31:44.he is on his own. Considering two thirds of the game
:31:45. > :31:54.has been played in Glasgow territory, they will be relatively
:31:55. > :32:07.pleased with that scoreline. Especially since the Ospreys have a
:32:08. > :32:12.solitary penalty in the second half. Connacht have gone ahead in
:32:13. > :32:25.Edinburgh. Along with a Dan Parks penalty.
:32:26. > :32:32.That scrum is looking pretty ominous again.
:32:33. > :32:41.They can smell blood in that scrum, can't they? Scott Baldwin, the
:32:42. > :32:46.hooker is going. Dougie Hall is coming on. An experienced
:32:47. > :32:54.campaigner, 33 years old. Abe Egger hooker than Pat MacArthur -- a
:32:55. > :33:02.larger hooker. That has taken its toll on the Ospreys scrum.
:33:03. > :33:06.Glasgow get the nudge on, it is all about what happens in those front
:33:07. > :33:19.rows there. I think that is actually... A bit
:33:20. > :33:25.harsh. They are going backwards but they are forced up as well. Jon
:33:26. > :33:52.Welsh, over 19 stone on the tight head.
:33:53. > :34:15.That is James Eddie who has just come on to the field.
:34:16. > :34:40.Glasgow playing like they did at the start of the game at the moment.
:34:41. > :35:06.Now it is the Ospreys' turn to put in the tackles.
:35:07. > :35:14.This is excellent control of the ball by Glasgow.
:35:15. > :35:26.Plenty of runners there. Almost up to the try-line.
:35:27. > :35:35.And Van Der Merwe snuck in at the post. That is a cheeky one. Hardly
:35:36. > :35:39.any of the field to play with. He sees a chink of light around the
:35:40. > :35:47.narrowest of blind size. He seems confident he scored. Dudley Phillips
:35:48. > :35:53.thinks it is a tried and less pictures show otherwise. -- it is a
:35:54. > :36:07.try. Where does that all end up's --
:36:08. > :36:13.where does that ball end up? That is a try, that will do nicely. Just
:36:14. > :36:16.about the grounding. You can see that Fussell was trying to force a
:36:17. > :36:20.possible knock-on that that is very controlled in the end.
:36:21. > :36:26.That is a good finish from Van Der Merwe and an important one as well
:36:27. > :36:46.because Glasgow will go back ahead. You may award the try. Ospreys
:36:47. > :36:49.guilty of not posting someone on the blindside, no matter how little
:36:50. > :36:53.space there is, they have to guard it. They were in trouble here. Good
:36:54. > :36:58.numbers with Glasgow. And a good attacking phase of play.
:36:59. > :37:07.Well finished. A terrific build up by Glasgow. They were so patient and
:37:08. > :37:11.showed such control, went through the phases, did not panic and
:37:12. > :37:20.eventually, by the smallest of margins, DTH Van Der Merwe snuck in
:37:21. > :37:22.the corner and that is a superb conversion by Ruaridh Jackson and
:37:23. > :37:33.now the Ospreys have it all to gain. -- have it all to do again.
:37:34. > :37:38.Justin mentioned the portents of that length of the field score --
:37:39. > :37:51.mentioned the importance. They have really surrendered the
:37:52. > :37:54.initiative. Fresh legs for the Ospreys, Marc Thomas and Rhys Webb,
:37:55. > :38:14.Rhys Webb wearing number 21. Turnover? No, not allowed. It has
:38:15. > :38:40.gone against Jon Welsh. It is that low trajectory from Sam
:38:41. > :38:44.Davies which does not find its mark. A big disappointment for the Ospreys
:38:45. > :38:46.after getting the penalty, they did not get themselves downfield and the
:38:47. > :39:23.gap has opened up for Seymour. Battling at the breakdown by Sam
:39:24. > :39:28.Lewis forces the knock-on that with a man off the field, they needed
:39:29. > :39:41.territory there. Under pressure again.
:39:42. > :39:52.A clear break, one man to beat. He fell over himself.
:39:53. > :39:58.Almost halfway or just over halfway through his sin-bin experience,
:39:59. > :40:12.Scott Baldwin. The Dragons get a try at Rodney
:40:13. > :40:17.Parade, scored by Matthew out on the wing. And with Keith earls in the
:40:18. > :40:27.bin, they lead by 11-9. Very tight there. Paul O'Connell
:40:28. > :40:33.running around in the background there as well. How those Irish guys
:40:34. > :40:43.get up for a game like that after what they did last week, dear me.
:40:44. > :40:47.No wonder there is pressure on that Ospreys scrum. They are one man
:40:48. > :40:57.short. The game in the second half is
:40:58. > :41:09.turned on this phase of play. Yes, it has. Van Der Merwe running off
:41:10. > :41:13.his wing. The big fellas are doing plenty of work. They have got the
:41:14. > :41:23.Ospreys on the back foot and man down as well.
:41:24. > :41:31.Two second-half tries for Glasgow, a great scrum as well.
:41:32. > :41:41.REFEREE: Both players have popped. Wondering why they were called to a
:41:42. > :41:46.halt when they were going forward at a rate of knots. The tight head
:41:47. > :41:49.there on the Glasgow side has come up as well. Just because they are
:41:50. > :41:51.going forward does not mean they cannot be called up for a penalty as
:41:52. > :42:04.well. On balance, Glasgow will not mind.
:42:05. > :42:08.They are the ones in the driving seat. Ospreys are having to do the
:42:09. > :42:14.chasing to win this for the second time. Only eight minutes remaining.
:42:15. > :42:26.And again he has popped up. That looked like Jon Welsh popping up.
:42:27. > :42:31.You can hear the crowd as well, they have seen it and they are
:42:32. > :43:17.frustrated. On that occasion, it was only one. There he is. Clear as day.
:43:18. > :43:23.A word for both captains because he is not happy with the scrums. What a
:43:24. > :43:28.chance for us to go back to the studio and have the Blues of Justin
:43:29. > :43:32.Marshall again. I just wanted to talk about the control back nine and
:43:33. > :43:36.ten for Glasgow have started to have in the second half really, pushing
:43:37. > :43:40.the forwards around in the right position for the Chris Cusiter and
:43:41. > :43:45.Jackson, started to become prominent with Cusiter getting his forwards
:43:46. > :43:49.running on and the Glasgow bench has added a real impact to this game.
:43:50. > :43:54.The players they have put on have contributed. Cusiter got the try but
:43:55. > :44:00.it is the small things he got at the breakdowns, combining with Jackson
:44:01. > :44:04.getting Glasgow in behind the Ospreys. These two have really
:44:05. > :44:20.stepped up. Just for a change, he does not pop
:44:21. > :44:24.up, John Wells goes down and the penalty goes to the Ospreys scrum
:44:25. > :44:38.with an extra ten metres added on. We get a better view of it here. He
:44:39. > :44:57.has gone down. A good kick from Sam Davies. This is
:44:58. > :45:01.the position that the Ospreys need. Scott Aldrin has busted a gut to
:45:02. > :45:13.come onto the field but it is Matthew Baldwin who will be the
:45:14. > :45:17.first change so Baldwin and Knoop, and the full complement of 15 now
:45:18. > :45:22.for the Ospreys. Looking for the try that will bring them level, or
:45:23. > :45:28.become bloated try that could sneak it. A very poorly delivered
:45:29. > :45:30.line-out. Rhys Webb has done well to stay in play but now he has lost the
:45:31. > :45:42.ball. Those are the areas you must get
:45:43. > :45:49.right. What do they need to do in the closing stages, Sean Holley? It
:45:50. > :45:51.is a little bit too Little too late, somebody needs to break the line,
:45:52. > :45:57.get the Ospreys on the front foot. You have got layers on the bench, is
:45:58. > :46:01.it too little, too late? They need to get a converted try so wherever
:46:02. > :46:10.they score in becomes an issue but I feel that Matthew Morgan could have
:46:11. > :46:16.been an ten minutes ago. At the moment, he is way back in his own
:46:17. > :46:25.half. It is a defensive role he is playing at the moment. Precious
:46:26. > :46:30.seconds taken away from the Ospreys. Repeated issues with the scrum.
:46:31. > :46:36.Whose interest is that in? Glasgow the away side, a 5-point game. Much
:46:37. > :46:51.happier to see this clock going away from them.
:46:52. > :47:03.Another penalty for Munster has edged them ahead 12-11 at Rodney
:47:04. > :47:15.Parade. The Ospreys desperate now to get their hands on the ball. Cusiter
:47:16. > :47:17.calling the shots, leaving it to Dougie Hall and the forwards to do
:47:18. > :47:32.it initially. Hogg is the one to clear the decks.
:47:33. > :47:40.And a very good kick. His kicking out of hand tonight has been
:47:41. > :47:51.excellent. Yeah, battling half of possession.
:47:52. > :48:03.Back down to fill. Bridgend 19, Swansea 13. Aberavon trailing 1116.
:48:04. > :48:12.Cross Keys running away with it, 35-3 leading Cardiff Newport are now
:48:13. > :48:17.19-15 up at Newport. And top of the table, the derby matches tomorrow at
:48:18. > :48:24.Carmarthen Park, LA kick-off. Against 43. Sean Lamont has an ankle
:48:25. > :48:36.injury, they are deciding whether to take him for an x-ray. And he was
:48:37. > :48:40.very popular for the Scarlets. It looks good for the Ospreys when
:48:41. > :48:47.Tom Isaacs put Jeff Hassler in the clear. But then, Sean Lamont, who
:48:48. > :48:51.may be on his way to hospital, and a great finish by Chris Cusiter, and
:48:52. > :48:54.the Ospreys kicking themselves all the way from their opposition
:48:55. > :49:03.try-line, then dragging themselves to injury. Speaking in for that
:49:04. > :49:13.all-important try. Ryan Grant making his way off the field. A good inside
:49:14. > :49:18.ball from Jeff Hassler. The Ospreys tried to step it up in the closing
:49:19. > :49:27.stages, going in search of this drive. The converted try to win.
:49:28. > :49:52.Glasgow would think of the break-out. Making good headway, but
:49:53. > :49:57.lost it back. Back in Glasgow hands, and again the boot of Stuart
:49:58. > :50:06.Hogg, pushing the Ospreys back, and a superb kick, quickly taken by
:50:07. > :50:14.Matthew Morgan. Not allowed to get away with it, though. Five metres,
:50:15. > :50:21.it must be, because he took it from behind. Glasgow throw in, so what
:50:22. > :50:30.gone wrong here? He is judged to have taken it in. A brilliant kick
:50:31. > :50:40.from Hogg. That should be enough to see Glasgow home. A drop goal ten
:50:41. > :50:43.minutes from time. Dougie Hall will take as much time
:50:44. > :51:06.as he possibly can. Jonny Gray with the take. Glasgow
:51:07. > :51:18.will just want to tie it up surely as long as they can.
:51:19. > :51:26.Within five metres, the try is not important anyway, but Glasgow would
:51:27. > :51:32.welcome it. Tommy Seymour within a metre of the try-line. Cusiter has a
:51:33. > :51:39.look either way to see what the options are. All very close
:51:40. > :51:45.quarters. But Ryan Wilson power drives over, other driver Glasgow,
:51:46. > :51:49.and that is the victory safe. And takes the bonus point in defeat away
:51:50. > :51:56.from the Ospreys. That was a real power play. Credit to the big eyes
:51:57. > :52:02.of Glasgow as well. In furnace. -- fairness. Selection has been good
:52:03. > :52:08.from Cusiter, working the fellas around the fringes. The supporter
:52:09. > :52:15.player has come in, driving him over, Ryan Wilson getting the score,
:52:16. > :52:28.but early support. That allowed him to be driven through.
:52:29. > :52:35.This miles are there for all to see. Glasgow have had to battle
:52:36. > :52:41.hard, but that is exactly what they have done and it is a hammer blow
:52:42. > :52:49.for the Ospreys, who went 16-6 ahead, but then, Glasgow came into
:52:50. > :52:54.their own. It is the Ospreys who fall to another home defeat and come
:52:55. > :53:00.away empty-handed and a very accomplished performance by Glasgow
:53:01. > :53:07.to get the win and the four points. Cusiter, in picture there, he will
:53:08. > :53:11.be my man of the match, very neat and tidy, and his God was pivotal in
:53:12. > :53:23.taking this game away from the Ospreys. -- his score was pivotal.
:53:24. > :53:27.Very accomplished scrum-half. They battled hard, struggled in the first
:53:28. > :53:32.half, the beginning of the second, but despite all the possession, the
:53:33. > :53:36.Ospreys could not make it count. In return, with that breakaway try for
:53:37. > :53:44.Chris Cusiter, the man of the match, then two more followed or DTH van
:53:45. > :53:52.der Merwe and Ryan Wilson. Glasgow when by 28 points against 16. We do
:53:53. > :53:59.you think you lost that? -- we do you think you lost that?
:54:00. > :54:05.They had good territory. They got up there to score. It is a tough
:54:06. > :54:11.lesson. We put on the Ospreys shirts regardless, come out to win, but did
:54:12. > :54:18.not do that. How bad did the yellow card hit you?
:54:19. > :54:21.That is always a problem. They got on the front towards the end, but
:54:22. > :54:30.the young boys stuck in, as appointing the got another try at
:54:31. > :54:35.the end. And about the youngsters? It is for them to push on. We want
:54:36. > :54:39.to win when we put the jersey on, but learn lessons, and I am pleased
:54:40. > :54:44.for the boys who made their debut and got more experience, but
:54:45. > :54:46.hopefully more accuracy later. Thank you for your time so soon after the
:54:47. > :54:56.game. Do you think Glasgow was just vastly
:54:57. > :55:01.more experienced? They had the benefit of the depth. And lots of
:55:02. > :55:10.youngsters for the Ospreys. But you saw the quality. Tom Ryder was
:55:11. > :55:16.excellent. The line-up was not functioning before then. Then it
:55:17. > :55:22.started to function. And then Cusiter and Jackson and company got
:55:23. > :55:24.into the game. At half time, we talked about the Ospreys being
:55:25. > :55:30.delighted in that position going ahead, but devastated now giving
:55:31. > :55:36.that last try, not getting a bonus one. It is cruel sometimes. They
:55:37. > :55:43.deserve more for the effort put in. When you look at it in its
:55:44. > :55:46.entirety, they dominated 40 minutes. The second period of the second
:55:47. > :55:53.half, and the first period of the second half. Through that time, they
:55:54. > :55:56.were dominant. But for two 20 minute periods, Glasgow and Cusiter, in
:55:57. > :56:01.free now, got very experienced players into the game, and put the
:56:02. > :56:06.Ospreys to the sword, when they could have gone on to win the match.
:56:07. > :56:10.Some shining lights amongst the youngsters and some real positives
:56:11. > :56:19.from the Ospreys, not least Morgan Allan. He made about 14-15 carries.
:56:20. > :56:24.Some could have led to a try. It could, and he was looking for
:56:25. > :56:31.support. They could have got a quick ball and even scored. He was
:56:32. > :56:35.excellent. They were competing against their Glasgow back and
:56:36. > :56:38.turned the ball over. They cannot complain about bald territory or
:56:39. > :56:44.possession. Game plan wise, they in well. But it is a matter of learning
:56:45. > :56:51.and making sure, next time, when you are in that position to win, you
:56:52. > :56:58.take it. That will beef a fairly unhappy Ospreys dressing room? It
:56:59. > :57:05.will be. They have to win their home games, which they have built their
:57:06. > :57:14.legacy on. Sam Davies, Sam Lewis, they were excellent. But there was a
:57:15. > :57:17.lack of cohesion. Looking at the try by DTH van der Merwe, I have taken
:57:18. > :57:25.it a few phases back, we would expect the Ospreys to come from the
:57:26. > :57:31.outside. But you would expect to be able EEC from Dirksen, but they
:57:32. > :57:37.conceded an early gain-line. -- able to see. You expect them to Russia.
:57:38. > :57:44.But they do not. -- you expect them to rush up and stop the net this alt
:57:45. > :57:50.is Glasgow take the space, going forward, resulting in pressure on
:57:51. > :57:57.the line. And DTH van der Merwe took his opportunity. We bang on about
:57:58. > :58:02.the Pro 12 and that you beat your top four rivals at home. They will
:58:03. > :58:07.be disappointed. And we must turn attention to tomorrow, our big day
:58:08. > :58:14.for Wales, not beating Australia for the last eight occasions, but you
:58:15. > :58:18.think they can? I think they can. No doubt they have the ability, the
:58:19. > :58:21.strike power to do it, and just about taking that initiative, taking
:58:22. > :58:28.the opportunities when they are there. I have predicted they will
:58:29. > :58:32.win, so I am hopefully right. How crucial is the return of Alex
:58:33. > :58:40.Cuthbert? Very important, because it loads up north. It takes a lot of
:58:41. > :58:48.responsibility of North, because he is big. He is a battering ram, but
:58:49. > :58:57.with two holding the side, they can bring the Australian defenders in,
:58:58. > :59:03.leave them out wide. Thank you for your time. Wales hoping to end it
:59:04. > :59:06.defeats from Australia in a trot, hopefully victory tomorrow and one
:59:07. > :59:13.thing we can count on is the support of our Kiwi friends. The Aussies are
:59:14. > :59:17.coming. Here they come. It is just the
:59:18. > :59:24.start. Even with the drop goal, beautifully
:59:25. > :59:47.situated. I am so happy! Torpedo! Crocodile Dundee! Russell
:59:48. > :59:57.Crowe! He is at Kiwi! Guy Pearce! Harold and Madge from Neighbours!
:59:58. > :00:03.Your boys took a hell of a thrashing, hell of a beating, hell
:00:04. > :00:08.of a beating! Like it is his last chip with ketchup on it. Wide to the
:00:09. > :00:09.wizard, the
