:00:23. > :00:32.Scrum V Live is back. Tonight, they welcome the Blues who haven't won on
:00:33. > :00:40.the road all season. The Pro 12 is just heating up. Last weekend, Wales
:00:41. > :00:47.remembered how to score tries and remembered how to smile. The Six
:00:48. > :00:55.Nations may be over but it has left its mark. The Blues have two stars
:00:56. > :01:02.out for the rest of the season. One Osprey was knocked flat out but got
:01:03. > :01:05.straight back up again and life in the Pro 12 continues. International
:01:06. > :01:11.team-mates who locked arms become rivals again and lock horns. Those
:01:12. > :01:17.who stood side-by-side must now go head to head.
:01:18. > :01:20.who stood side-by-side must now go fast. Some are staying, some are
:01:21. > :01:28.leaving and some have already gone. The director of rugby of Cardiff
:01:29. > :01:34.Blues has gone. A casualty of poor results and those left behind have
:01:35. > :02:16.things to prove. These are two proud regions and this is a huge local
:02:17. > :02:20.What is it about the culture here? Most of the big guns are back and
:02:21. > :02:32.hungry to play for their region. The guys want to get involved
:02:33. > :02:36.straightaway and pick up where they left off.
:02:37. > :02:42.A slightly different fortune for the Blues since Scrum V Live was last on
:02:43. > :02:49.air. What shape do they find themselves in tonight?
:02:50. > :02:55.There is no hiding from the fact it has been a disappointing season and
:02:56. > :02:59.you fill -- feel fulfilled Davies. As a Blues fan and supporter you
:03:00. > :03:06.want to see a reaction tonight and players going and proving they are
:03:07. > :03:12.not as everyone -- not as bad as everyone is making out.
:03:13. > :03:20.We spoke of the hunger in the Ospreys side and there are two who
:03:21. > :03:27.are the heartbeat of the side. Yes, you get a Welsh jersey and an Osprey
:03:28. > :03:32.jersey 100%. It is hard to come back from the Six Nations. But this is
:03:33. > :04:30.the character of the guides -- guys. They are taking this by the
:04:31. > :04:41.He is a class player and it is great that he is back in a Blues jersey.
:04:42. > :04:44.The Blues come here under the cosh and pressure but the Ospreys are
:04:45. > :04:50.more settled with home advantage. Would you say it is their victory?
:04:51. > :04:55.It is a must win game for the Ospreys. Hopefully, what has
:04:56. > :05:01.happened within the Blues hasn't affected them and they can come away
:05:02. > :05:09.with a bonus point. Martin, the Blues are playing for pride?
:05:10. > :05:15.They have got to think, we have got to get into the top six but pride
:05:16. > :05:18.comes into it and credibility. Fingers crossed they can pull
:05:19. > :05:26.something out of the bag. The teams are running out. Our red
:05:27. > :05:31.button to nightfall Welsh language commentary and you can get involved
:05:32. > :05:35.via text and Twitter as well. Jonathan Davies and Gareth Charles
:05:36. > :05:40.are commentating. Thank you, Ross. We are pitch side
:05:41. > :05:55.with coats on. No Sam Warburton. Dan Fish who fills
:05:56. > :06:01.the big boots of Leigh Halfpenny at fullback. Good to seek a L'Oreal and
:06:02. > :06:12.fit again after that shoulder injury in November. We certainly missed
:06:13. > :06:21.Gavin Evans who has signed a new contract to stay with the Blues.
:06:22. > :06:24.A new contract signed by the Ospreys captain as well. Alun Wyn Jones will
:06:25. > :06:44.be here at the liberty stadium. He is one of the big guns back for
:06:45. > :06:52.the Ospreys after the Six Nations. Scott Baldwin starts. Rhys Webb back
:06:53. > :07:06.is -- after an absence. Some big replacements to come off
:07:07. > :07:10.the bench as well for the Ospreys. They are the ones who look to be
:07:11. > :07:24.holding the aces at the start of this game. Dan Biggar making his
:07:25. > :07:34.debut. For an all Welsh plus why not an all Welsh referee Nigel Owens?
:07:35. > :07:40.The ring -- the rain has abated for the moment. Let us hope it stays
:07:41. > :07:45.away. The Ospreys are looking to consolidate their place in the top
:07:46. > :07:56.floor. The Blues looking to try and get away from the bottom two. The
:07:57. > :08:01.Italians underneath them. Nobody claiming big kick off. The first
:08:02. > :08:08.line-out of the evening and wrist Williams to throw in for the Blues.
:08:09. > :08:34.-- Rhys Williams. It has been a nervous opening minute
:08:35. > :08:40.for the Blues. It would be nice to have an exciting
:08:41. > :08:50.game as I think the Pro 12 needs a shot in the arm. This is a good
:08:51. > :09:06.take. Poor communication. It goes forwards.
:09:07. > :09:54.And the race was won by Dan Fish. A bit of weight on it. Sam Davies is
:09:55. > :09:59.a very good footballer. I am not sure in the fullback 's position.
:10:00. > :10:04.You have a bit of pace to add to the attack. It is a great attacking
:10:05. > :10:06.option. He is a great player but I would like to see him closer to the
:10:07. > :10:33.action. A bit of space was created for Dan
:10:34. > :10:37.Biggar. Hugh Bennett has just joined us. What is going on here? A
:10:38. > :11:11.dominant scrum for the Ospreys. Lloyd Williams have to start
:11:12. > :11:15.playing. He's been out injured. The summer tour and the World Cup. If
:11:16. > :11:18.you scrum-halves have jumped ahead of him. It has been a difficult
:11:19. > :11:27.season for him. Scott Baldwin looking to latch onto
:11:28. > :11:47.Justin Tipuric there. That was very well played. A bit of
:11:48. > :11:52.a respite now. Hopefully, a long, relieving kick for them which gives
:11:53. > :12:16.them first field position of the evening.
:12:17. > :12:46.Justin Tipuric and Scott Baldwin are two who are just breaking away.
:12:47. > :12:55.I don't think the Blues would be too worried. There are a few back play
:12:56. > :13:02.moves now but they seem to drift across field. Cuthbert has just got
:13:03. > :13:07.to show him the outside. You're not going to get outside of the Blues
:13:08. > :13:16.wingers. The Ospreys will have to engage that defensive line to hold
:13:17. > :13:23.to them. More worrying for the Blues is the protection they are giving
:13:24. > :13:33.away. Jones gifted that one. But that was lost by Dan Biggar.
:13:34. > :13:45.Dan Biggar will not have been happy with that. Another mistake in the
:13:46. > :13:47.line-out. Whose fault was that, because you hook is always get the
:13:48. > :14:14.blame? It looked comfortable for the Blues
:14:15. > :14:22.from the outset that time. It looks like it was a slip. Nigel showing
:14:23. > :14:32.his intent and he will not have too many funny goings-on at the scrum.
:14:33. > :14:39.Sometimes as a referee you are dammed if you do and dammed if you
:14:40. > :14:44.don't. The Dane -- game can go on with too many scrums so you have to
:14:45. > :14:46.make a decision. It looked like a slip but he just wants to get on
:14:47. > :15:01.with it, doesn't he? Again, a missed line-out by the
:15:02. > :15:12.Blues and a complaint that it wasn't a fair contest.
:15:13. > :15:15.A bit of butter fingers from the Ospreys on a couple of occasions
:15:16. > :15:22.this evening. It Ospreys on a couple of occasions
:15:23. > :15:28.interesting to see that line-out again as I think there was a cheeky
:15:29. > :15:37.push. There are plenty of defenders there. Ryan was just pushing at the
:15:38. > :16:25.line-out. That could have been a penalty for the Cardiff Blues. Yes.
:16:26. > :16:34.A chance to step up a gear. He had no option but to come inside. It is
:16:35. > :16:40.there and available. No scrum half. Scott Baldwin doing the job. Slow
:16:41. > :16:49.ball for Dan Biggar. Superb angle from Jonathan Spratt. That comes the
:16:50. > :16:56.defence. Ashley Beck trying to get Justin Tipuric back on the angle.
:16:57. > :17:01.Alun Wyn Jones to Rhys Webb. It should be this time and it is for
:17:02. > :17:10.Ashley Beck. It has been nine minutes of pressure from the Ospreys
:17:11. > :17:13.and that try had become. That is one thing you cannot afford to do. You
:17:14. > :17:20.can't afford to give excision -- possession away. They had an
:17:21. > :17:27.opportunity to clear it. Justin Tipuric takes it in. He makes easy
:17:28. > :17:34.yardage. Another of load and that is the problem. The quicker the ball
:17:35. > :17:45.from the faceplate and the off-load, that is an easy finish and a two-man
:17:46. > :17:55.overlap. They were just drifting across. A great line from Jonathan
:17:56. > :17:59.Spratt and that is what happens. A bit more resin on the hands to make
:18:00. > :18:16.sure it sticks next time but Ashley Beck will be very happy with that.
:18:17. > :18:23.Dan Biggar from the touchline with a lovely convergence. The Ospreys in
:18:24. > :18:29.command in the first ten minutes. We said about running inside shoulders.
:18:30. > :18:35.Stop it there. What he will do is hold that man which creates an
:18:36. > :18:41.overlap out here. Simple. Steps inside, holds the man, three on one,
:18:42. > :18:48.thank you very much and a great finish. It is so simple. You run the
:18:49. > :19:06.inside shoulder so that the drift defence cannot move on to the 213.
:19:07. > :19:15.Rhys Webb's kick has been charged down. Rhys Williams picks up. If
:19:16. > :19:23.they can receipt -- recycle this quickly. Offside against the Ospreys
:19:24. > :19:31.and advantage to the Blues. Gareth Davies tries to slide it through.
:19:32. > :19:38.That is a free play. The Ospreys will be disappointed. They scored
:19:39. > :19:46.seven points and give three away. They had too many members in that
:19:47. > :19:52.ruck. A different balance of the ball could have led to try to the
:19:53. > :19:56.Blues. It is very slow, I find it unusual that the ad said half does
:19:57. > :20:07.not call for it because it is such a difficult kick for the scrum half.
:20:08. > :20:21.Great pressure from Filo Paulo. Rhys Williams the hooker is down. Alun
:20:22. > :20:30.Wyn Jones just having a word with the referee. When you have points on
:20:31. > :20:39.the board, don't give away easy points straight afterwards. Just
:20:40. > :20:53.about keeps it inside the post and Gareth Davies gives the Blues their
:20:54. > :20:56.first points. It is a dog lead defence which is an easy run for the
:20:57. > :21:02.man coming in that hole between the forwards. There is a natural gap
:21:03. > :21:21.that opens up. You have to keep the defensive line straight. Taken by
:21:22. > :21:26.Filo Paulo. Josh Navidi. He will have plenty of game time between now
:21:27. > :21:42.and the end of the season with Sam Warburton out. Slow ball. Dan Fish
:21:43. > :21:47.with a bit of enterprise. Sam Lewis trying to get over the ball. Enough
:21:48. > :22:07.Blues bodies are there to prevent Lloyd Williams. That is straight
:22:08. > :22:12.out. You cannot afford to do that. You have got desertion and an
:22:13. > :22:23.opportunity to clear it and you put yourself under pressure and hand
:22:24. > :22:29.possession to the Ospreys. Jonathan Spratt with the Emmy run. Jeff
:22:30. > :22:38.Hassler does well to hold on to that. Dan Biggar gets into the 22.
:22:39. > :22:47.Ryan Jones. Jeff Hassler is a good carrier. He is not the most subtle
:22:48. > :22:52.player. Dan Baker has got his hands on the ball a few times in the
:22:53. > :23:06.opening 15 minutes. Gethin Jenkins told to release it. Aisea Natoga has
:23:07. > :23:12.kept it alive and he has scored. Two in quick succession for the Ospreys.
:23:13. > :23:25.Lovely vision by Rhys Webb. Very good play. Not much on. Has a little
:23:26. > :23:40.luck. That is good play by Aisea Natoga. A great finish. The Blues
:23:41. > :23:45.will be very disappointed with that. It is giving that possession away
:23:46. > :23:53.and putting yourself straight back under pressure. The Ospreys making
:23:54. > :24:02.full use of it. It all came from the ball going out on the full. It is
:24:03. > :24:06.all about the simple little things. If you do the simple things well you
:24:07. > :24:12.are in the game. They just handed the Ospreys field position. That
:24:13. > :24:26.skill by the scrum half and the winner. Dan Biggar succeeded from
:24:27. > :24:34.the far touchline. Just pulled it slightly from the near touchline.
:24:35. > :24:44.Just watch this. He just spots that the fullback is out of the way. It
:24:45. > :24:55.is a deft little kick. Alex Cuthbert has to get back but Aisea Natoga
:24:56. > :24:59.gets there before him. Aisea Natoga took a bit of time to find his feet
:25:00. > :25:08.at the Ospreys but has looked better as the season has gone on. Dan Fish
:25:09. > :25:15.looking for a chance to counterattack. Robin Copeland in
:25:16. > :25:23.support. Tackled by Ashley Beck. The pressure continues on Lloyd
:25:24. > :25:30.Williams. Taufa'ao Filise trying to get them out of a hole. Chris
:25:31. > :25:38.Dicomidis gets them going in the right original. A good step. If the
:25:39. > :25:47.off-load had gone a second earlier, Harry Robinson would have had a
:25:48. > :26:07.chance. Robin Copeland. Gareth Davies. Gethin Jenkins. Filo Paulo.
:26:08. > :26:13.Lloyd Williams takes the hit. A bit too clever from Josh Navidi. One
:26:14. > :26:18.more pass and the Ospreys were away. It is still on. Half a dozen
:26:19. > :26:25.turnover is the Blues have given away already. Aisea Natoga offers
:26:26. > :26:32.the inside angle. Alex Cuthbert is having a tough night with Aisea
:26:33. > :26:37.Natoga. Just nudged forward. He is quite a handful. He is coming off
:26:38. > :26:43.his wing looking for the ball and looking for work. He has been a good
:26:44. > :26:50.find for the Ospreys. You don't need to throw that pass because you have
:26:51. > :26:57.had not hardly any possession of field possession -- position and you
:26:58. > :26:59.need to build phases. Josh Navidi looking for the miracle ball and Sam
:27:00. > :27:35.Lewis only to grateful to accept. That one spun round at a rate of
:27:36. > :27:48.knots. The ball bounced back into the Ospreys pack. The Ospreys
:27:49. > :28:11.trickled back into the pack. It was not a spin. The message being
:28:12. > :28:17.relayed from skipper to front row. The conditions are pretty horrible
:28:18. > :28:23.out there. That is a good strike from Gareth Davies. That is a lovely
:28:24. > :28:28.strike. A very good kick. The Blues need all the points they can get at
:28:29. > :28:34.the moment. Let's join grip steel. I am joined by the Ospreys back coach.
:28:35. > :28:40.Two lovely tries but two penalties for the Blues. We have allowed them
:28:41. > :28:48.back into it. We have conceded soft points in our half and we have had
:28:49. > :28:52.to work for our tries. Is it when worry having too much possession?
:28:53. > :28:58.Possession is a luxury but it's about how you use it. We have been
:28:59. > :29:04.direct and that is with the tries have come from. From the kick-off,
:29:05. > :29:13.you have to take that. It is a good kick by Dan Biggar but the winger
:29:14. > :29:29.has to cover that. That is a schoolboy error really. The kick
:29:30. > :29:35.safely from within the 22. That is a far better kick from Lloyd Williams.
:29:36. > :29:41.A good clearing kick. We talked about what Alun Wyn Jones brings and
:29:42. > :29:46.he is very vocal around the wrecks and is always on to his team. You
:29:47. > :29:51.can see what he does but it is the things that he doesn't do which are
:29:52. > :30:03.so important full -- the things you don't see which are so important.
:30:04. > :30:08.They don't want to go to White to quickly in these conditions. They
:30:09. > :30:29.use Jeff Hassler instead. Alun Wyn Jones carries it. Jonathan Spratt.
:30:30. > :30:33.Dan Biggar. Keeping it alive. The forwards offering themselves. Ryan
:30:34. > :30:40.Jones going in to help Justin Tipuric. Over the top she goes from
:30:41. > :30:48.Rhys Webb. Dan Fish wanted to go dead and eventually the end smacked
:30:49. > :30:58.out of play by Aisea Natoga. That is a lovely kick. His foot was in the
:30:59. > :31:07.field of play. That should be a dropout 22. He has one foot in the
:31:08. > :31:20.field of play and that should have been a scrum five. A good solid hit
:31:21. > :31:28.by Rhys Williams. He keeps on coming, Jeff Hassler. He does not
:31:29. > :31:49.mind the hits. Somebody should teach him how to sidestep! Here he comes,
:31:50. > :31:59.on cue! Jeff Hassler is a pocket down you -- dynamo.
:32:00. > :32:07.That was a massively high kick from Dan Biggar. That is a penalty.
:32:08. > :32:09.Spratt went in there and a good decision from Nigel Owens. A clear
:32:10. > :32:31.penalty. He didn't go for the ball. Ashley Beck was in acres of space so
:32:32. > :32:38.disappointment for the crowd. Let us go back to fail. First time on Scrum
:32:39. > :32:43.V Live for the Blues assistant coach. How confident are you if you
:32:44. > :32:50.get some consistent ball you can make a dent? Every time we've had a
:32:51. > :32:55.line-out we've given it back. A very nervous start from as so hopefully
:32:56. > :32:59.we can start securing possession and maintaining it when we have it.
:33:00. > :33:07.There is no shortage of commitment though? A soft try really. But we've
:33:08. > :33:17.got to get a foot in the game, that is the big thing and maintaining
:33:18. > :33:27.possession when we get it. Thanks for your time.
:33:28. > :33:49.A close call for San Luis. But he is consistent. -- Sam Lewis. But he has
:33:50. > :33:53.been consistent. You can't argue, because when he is shouting, release
:33:54. > :34:08.release? You can't argue. It is such a close margin. Sam Lewis
:34:09. > :34:17.thought he had done everything right. I am not sure he was the
:34:18. > :34:25.tackler though. It is such a tough one to call. And that is what the
:34:26. > :34:30.Blues want. Of the post from Gareth Davies. Chipping away and keeping
:34:31. > :34:47.them in the game. It is a tough one. If he had lifted
:34:48. > :35:00.his arm first he probably would have got away with it.
:35:01. > :35:22.Brilliant to get away with the ball there.
:35:23. > :35:32.They are just winning the Game nine battle at the moment. The initial
:35:33. > :35:34.hit and then a drive for a couple of yards and it makes it difficult for
:35:35. > :35:54.the Cardiff Blues defence. That is a lovely drive for Natoga.
:35:55. > :36:01.That is not a fallback really. It is the second 58.
:36:02. > :36:18.He is a stand-off. This is a turn-off and no one there. Great
:36:19. > :36:28.skill. What a lovely pass. In and gone. Yes, great drive. Completely
:36:29. > :36:37.sold down the river with the quick hands of Sam Davies and an easy
:36:38. > :36:45.drive for Natoga. You talk about the issue of Wales and do they play with
:36:46. > :36:51.a couple of seven s. With two on the field at the same time, it works.
:36:52. > :37:01.The point Martin was making before the game, Ellis Jenkins hasn't been
:37:02. > :37:02.in the game this evening so far and that is because the Ospreys are so
:37:03. > :37:30.much on the front foot. As soon as Cuthbert comes in there,
:37:31. > :37:38.he has got to take the man and ball. It doesn't happen. Overlap,
:37:39. > :37:47.simple. If he stays out, you've got to communicate. If one goes in, you
:37:48. > :37:49.all going. If not, you all stay out. The Ospreys are building nicely with
:37:50. > :38:04.three tries in the first half-hour. An intelligent fish because --
:38:05. > :38:09.kicked because he knew Dan Fish had to come from the opposite corner and
:38:10. > :38:17.it is a good net gain for the Ospreys. Yes, and look where they I
:38:18. > :38:27.again. It would be interesting to see the possession stats. That says
:38:28. > :38:32.it all. The one thing the Blues have done is when they have come into the
:38:33. > :38:39.Ospreys half, they have actually had some points. The Ospreys, if you cut
:38:40. > :38:45.the points out, have had total domination.
:38:46. > :38:57.Scott Baldwin disappointed himself in getting the timing wrong. What
:38:58. > :39:01.the Ospreys did there, being clinical. When you have points on
:39:02. > :39:13.the board, you make sure you secure the board -- all. They haven't
:39:14. > :39:19.really kind of created. The first try was created by good skill by Dan
:39:20. > :39:25.Biggar and off-loads. The second one was a kick that maybe Cuthbert
:39:26. > :39:34.should have got. The chief is having a few words in the changing room at
:39:35. > :39:37.half-time with the Blues. They are within the gain line and it makes it
:39:38. > :39:51.easy for the guys to clear up. The more that goes on the more
:39:52. > :39:57.confident they are. They can just win the Game nine battle and recycle
:39:58. > :40:06.and have a look second time round. That was a fine kick.
:40:07. > :40:09.The forwards now have to maximise it and put the pressure back on the
:40:10. > :40:32.Ospreys. That came off Gethin Jenkins. The
:40:33. > :40:48.rain absolutely hammers down at the moment. A bit dangerous now.
:40:49. > :40:56.It is monsoon weather out there. They will do well to just hold it.
:40:57. > :41:04.He opened up straight, saw the gap and nailed it.
:41:05. > :41:18.A lovely, lovely strike. Outstanding kick. The Ospreys are very happy
:41:19. > :41:30.with that. Hoping to get something from it.
:41:31. > :41:40.There was leaning from Ryan Jones. They caught him this time. They
:41:41. > :41:52.caught him this time. Innocence personified, isn't he? !
:41:53. > :42:03.These are the days you don't really miss it. Lovely conditions. You
:42:04. > :42:10.could hear Alun Wyn Jones earlier and now you can hear the rain on the
:42:11. > :42:17.mike. It's coming from all different directions. Swirling wind and rain
:42:18. > :42:26.pouring down. A lovely night to be playing rugby.
:42:27. > :42:38.Sam Davies has the two wingers to content with. It was kept alive. And
:42:39. > :42:42.now back for the initial penalty. An ironic chair from the crowd but he
:42:43. > :42:55.had told them it was advantage anyway.
:42:56. > :43:22.I don't think Daniel things he was offside.
:43:23. > :43:41.If he was offside. Baldwin made a bit of ground.
:43:42. > :43:51.Ryan Jones got in on it and Rhys Webb has plenty of time to readjust.
:43:52. > :43:58.A sloped events. That was a poor pass. Jeff Hassler is steaming
:43:59. > :44:03.through. He needed that tackle. And a second one from Ellis Jenkin. Two
:44:04. > :44:18.great tackles. Is that a penalty? Copeland, did he
:44:19. > :44:28.try and gather it? What is going on? All kinds of things to be
:44:29. > :44:37.answered. Play on, says Nigel Owens. He is getting flustered. Calm down,
:44:38. > :44:40.Nigel! Calm down! What a passage of play that was. I still don't know
:44:41. > :44:57.what's going on. Here we go. That would have been a harsh call.
:44:58. > :45:07.He caught it on the palm of the hands rather than the fingertips,
:45:08. > :45:11.didn't he? If I had been the captain I would have called for a penalty. A
:45:12. > :45:37.good scrum, Blues. The Blues really need to marshal the
:45:38. > :45:57.lines now for the last couple of minutes.
:45:58. > :46:04.A chance for the Blues to attack from deep. Cory Allen dragged down
:46:05. > :46:28.and not managing to get the ball in before.
:46:29. > :46:41.It is good to see Cory Allen back on the field after that injury last
:46:42. > :46:46.November. He has played well for the under 20s and on the sevens circuit
:46:47. > :46:55.as well. He just needs to clear -- stay clear of injuries and get a run
:46:56. > :47:08.of games. Dan Fish to Harry Robinson. Jonathan Spratt comes over
:47:09. > :47:13.to tackle. Ellis Jenkins sets it up on the ten metre line. It is
:47:14. > :47:20.difficult to handle the ball in these conditions. It was an offside.
:47:21. > :47:42.It was a long advantage being played by Nigel Owens. This will be the
:47:43. > :47:51.last play of the half. I think the Blues will be very happy. They are
:47:52. > :47:54.17-9 down but are still in the game on the scoreboard. On the field,
:47:55. > :48:01.they are not in the game because they have not threatened at all. A
:48:02. > :48:09.lot to do in the second half. Alun Wyn Jones, are you happy with that
:48:10. > :48:11.first half? Pretty good. A few knock-on is by the backs early on
:48:12. > :48:19.but we have been clinical on the whole. Are you going for the bonus
:48:20. > :48:24.point? We went through the phases and the tries came. If we hold onto
:48:25. > :48:31.the ball, the tries will come. Enjoy your orange. Alun Wyn Jones in
:48:32. > :48:39.positive mood. This is the story of the half.
:48:40. > :48:45.The Ospreys looked confident from the off and Ashley Beck scoring the
:48:46. > :48:55.first try. A good kick through from Rhys Webb for the first try of 24
:48:56. > :49:08.Aisea Natoga. Allah Davies has scored nine points for the Blues. --
:49:09. > :49:15.Gareth Davies. The statistics gives you some idea of the dominance of
:49:16. > :49:20.the Ospreys. The Blues have stabilised things somewhat. The
:49:21. > :49:26.Blues having to make twice as many tackles than their opponents and
:49:27. > :49:32.they have missed nine of them. Alun Wyn Jones said he was relatively
:49:33. > :49:35.happy. The Blues will be happy because they have been thoroughly
:49:36. > :49:40.outplayed but are only eight points down. They have not been in the
:49:41. > :49:44.game. The Ospreys are full of confidence and the Blues were like
:49:45. > :49:49.rabbits in headlights. They did not know what to do. There was no
:49:50. > :49:51.urgency of anger and it's really disappointing. The Ospreys have
:49:52. > :50:03.blatant great rugby and deserved to be in front. The conditions are
:50:04. > :50:14.pretty bad. Yes. The Ospreys are running straight and running hard.
:50:15. > :50:17.Jeff Hassler and Jonathan Spratt started running straight and got
:50:18. > :50:24.across the gain line and it made it easier for the Ospreys. It gives Dan
:50:25. > :50:32.Biggar more options outside as well. The first try but the Ospreys by
:50:33. > :50:37.Ashley Beck was scored early and some good off-loads in the build-up.
:50:38. > :50:40.It was well worked. A couple of off-loads and it is so difficult for
:50:41. > :50:46.a defence when you get these off-loads. Watch the footwork of
:50:47. > :50:52.Jason Tippett. He keeps the ball above the ground. Alun Wyn Jones
:50:53. > :50:57.with the off-load that makes the try. The Blues defence will be
:50:58. > :51:04.disappointed. Dan Biggar fixes his man and puts Ashley Beck in the
:51:05. > :51:08.corner. What is going on? Good off-loads from forwards. I don't
:51:09. > :51:14.know, especially in these conditions. You think the ball is
:51:15. > :51:19.going to ground and when those off-loads don't come off the coach
:51:20. > :51:25.talks to you but when they come off they create tries. A good kick for
:51:26. > :51:31.the second try. Alex Cuthbert exposed in defence. Alex Cuthbert
:51:32. > :51:40.has had a tough first half. It is slow ball. The scrum half looks up
:51:41. > :51:46.and it is the weight of the kick. Dan Fish is in a good position but
:51:47. > :51:51.ten wanted this more. It is a great kick. Alex Cuthbert needs to kick
:51:52. > :52:00.the ball into touch and it's great skill. It is a fantastic try. It was
:52:01. > :52:05.not too long ago we were talking about the lack of firepower out wide
:52:06. > :52:11.for the Ospreys but they seemed to have solved that now. Aisea Natoga
:52:12. > :52:15.has been a great find and so has Jeff Hassler. They are doing nothing
:52:16. > :52:22.complicated. They are running hard and keeping the ball. As long as
:52:23. > :52:27.they keep the session and territory, more tries will come. You were
:52:28. > :52:31.talking about the different styles of the two defences. The Ospreys
:52:32. > :52:37.very quick up in the line and the Blues a bit confused about whether
:52:38. > :52:44.they are blitzing or drifting. That led to the third try. One man is
:52:45. > :52:48.doing one thing and another man is doing another. Cory Allen and Ellis
:52:49. > :52:54.Jenkins are drifting. Alex Cuthbert steps in to take Sam Davies but it's
:52:55. > :52:59.too slow and it's great skill by Sam Davies. They take and give and Aisea
:53:00. > :53:02.Natoga is in. I am surprised at the Blues because when Dale McIntosh
:53:03. > :53:10.came in a few months ago they were good in defence. But it is so
:53:11. > :53:15.disjointed now. The passage of play when Jonathan Spratt came on early
:53:16. > :53:23.on and the Blues were on their heels and it is so disjointed in defence
:53:24. > :53:34.at the moment. You can hear the choir in the background. That is a
:53:35. > :53:37.local school in the area. Some fine music here this evening at the
:53:38. > :53:39.Liberty Stadium. There is plenty more sport coming your way on the
:53:40. > :54:32.weekend. Phil Steele is already doing his bit
:54:33. > :54:43.for Sport Relief down on the touchline. He looks in extreme
:54:44. > :55:43.competition. We have got for televised games this week.
:55:44. > :56:03.So a real feast of rugby for all you fans up there. -- out there. Let's
:56:04. > :56:10.have a look at the table as things stand. The Ospreys are in fourth
:56:11. > :56:23.race. Bars go just behind them and have two games on hand -- in hand.
:56:24. > :56:32.That half of the table is becoming very close. The Ospreys lost in
:56:33. > :56:39.Edinburgh a few weeks ago. They play Glasgow next week. It is very tight.
:56:40. > :56:45.I would say the Ospreys are just going to squeeze in but it is a big
:56:46. > :56:50.call for the Scarlets. They have to get into that European top six
:56:51. > :56:54.spot. An interesting revelation this week and Warren Gatland seeing he
:56:55. > :57:06.fancies a trial match ahead of the South Africa tour. Give us an idea,
:57:07. > :57:17.is that something you would want to be involved in? It will be an
:57:18. > :57:20.interesting match. It is very difficult because everybody knows
:57:21. > :57:29.exactly what they are going to be doing and they know all the calls.
:57:30. > :57:37.In terms of what you get from it, I am sure the supporters would like to
:57:38. > :57:41.watch that game. All the established boys when they saw that in the week
:57:42. > :57:45.would have dreaded it. But it's great for the younger players to
:57:46. > :57:51.prove a point. It is a long break without a game time before playing
:57:52. > :57:56.South Africa and we saw in the Six Nations some of the players went in
:57:57. > :58:06.under cooked. It is not ideal but it looks the only option. Let's go back
:58:07. > :58:12.down to Phil Steele. I am with a Swansea legend, David Rees. You used
:58:13. > :58:18.to be on the Welsh selectors. What about resting players now for South
:58:19. > :58:23.Africa? It is a bit of a conundrum. The Six Nations has not been a
:58:24. > :58:26.particularly successful campaign. Did you rest people because a lot of
:58:27. > :58:31.people like Alun Wyn Jones have paid a lot of rugby? But South Africa had
:58:32. > :58:35.a good side and you don't want to experiment too much. You need
:58:36. > :58:39.experienced players out there. You also need continuity towards the
:58:40. > :58:44.World Cup. Being successful at it would give us a lift before the
:58:45. > :58:49.World Cup. Warren Gatland has said about having a trial. You remember
:58:50. > :58:57.the days of probables against possibles. What are your thoughts on
:58:58. > :59:01.that? At least it would be on a sensible time. We used to have one
:59:02. > :59:07.on New Year's Day! Warren Gatland says he wants to freshen things up.
:59:08. > :59:10.It is a good psychological move because it puts people on their
:59:11. > :59:15.toes. Nobody can take things were granted and I think it is a good
:59:16. > :59:21.move. And what about this tonight? The Ospreys are playing well in
:59:22. > :59:24.difficult conditions. The Blues are looking like a side lacking in
:59:25. > :59:32.confidence. But they are still in the game. Thank you both. The
:59:33. > :59:37.Ospreys are back on the pitch. We are privileged here on the programme
:59:38. > :59:40.to have arguably the best referee in the world in Nigel Owens. This is
:59:41. > :59:48.how the first half unfolded through his eyes. We can head back now to
:59:49. > :59:58.our commentary team, Jonathan Davies and Gareth Charles.
:59:59. > :00:16.Nigel Owens making his way back out. No changes to either side. The Blues
:00:17. > :00:24.are still in the hunt, just about. The Ospreys are already hunting a
:00:25. > :00:36.bonus point. Gareth Davies down to Dan Biggar.
:00:37. > :00:46.No doubt the Blues will have been told not to give the way to much
:00:47. > :00:51.possession. The statistics in -- at half-time incredibly in the favour
:00:52. > :00:57.of the Ospreys. The Ospreys give it away at the start of the second
:00:58. > :01:02.half. One thing they have to do is keep the ball. They have not had any
:01:03. > :01:11.ball so they need to keep it when they have it. Ellis Jenkins with the
:01:12. > :01:23.line at possession. Lloyd Williams. Filo Paulo. Again, the ball spills
:01:24. > :01:26.out of the Blues' grasp. Justin Tipuric heavily involved. That is
:01:27. > :01:55.another fine kick. Dan Fish is trying to settle
:01:56. > :01:58.himself. Sam Davies steals the space in front of the tackler. He went
:01:59. > :02:32.down the wrong channel there really. The other games kicked off later
:02:33. > :03:03.than this one. That was not his best kick but it
:03:04. > :03:27.was good yardage. Jenkins is the target in the
:03:28. > :03:36.line-out again. Another turnover. There is a great
:03:37. > :03:54.chance to go left. He straightened up there very well,
:03:55. > :04:02.Sam Davies, but this -- but the pass went astray. It was on. The Blues
:04:03. > :04:09.just cannot string together any phases of play. They haven't got any
:04:10. > :04:17.ball-carriers whatsoever at the moment and they are not getting over
:04:18. > :04:28.the gain line. 11 times the Blues have been turned over.
:04:29. > :04:37.I've been hugely impressed by Sam Lewis tonight. Four or five
:04:38. > :04:51.turnovers. They are dominating the Blues.
:04:52. > :04:59.Dan Biggar just nursing them forward. Only four minutes gone but
:05:00. > :05:03.I can't see the Blues getting back into this game because they are not
:05:04. > :05:14.carrying the ball whatsoever and every time they are, they get it
:05:15. > :05:18.turned over. We haven't seen Copeland tonight. He hasn't had the
:05:19. > :05:28.ball in his hands at all and he is normally the GOTO ball-carrier.
:05:29. > :05:43.Look how far back they take the ball in. They are not having any luck on
:05:44. > :05:52.the gain line. They are taking it too deep. Even though it wasn't
:05:53. > :06:02.turned over as such, a scrum gives them possession. The Ospreys are so
:06:03. > :06:06.urgent, flying off the line and dominating the Blues. The Blues have
:06:07. > :06:33.been very passive in defence. Gethin Jenkins up against Alan
:06:34. > :06:35.Jarvis. Good delivery to Ashley Beck and, again, they get over the gain
:06:36. > :07:30.line immediately. He tried to twist his way over. Has
:07:31. > :07:38.he got the ball to ground and Rhys Webb says drive.
:07:39. > :07:51.REFEREE: Any reason why I can't award the try?
:07:52. > :08:11.We will have a look. Nigel Owens thinks is probably a try.
:08:12. > :08:34.Try. That is the ball down, by the look of it.
:08:35. > :08:48.Gavin Evans holds him up initially, turns him. If he's playing at the
:08:49. > :08:54.normal speed, it's a try. Obviously, it looks slow there because it is in
:08:55. > :08:59.slow motion. Play it at in all -- at normal speed. It is difficult to
:09:00. > :09:07.find a reason not to award that. Yes.
:09:08. > :09:23.Nigel definitely sees the ball going down, doesn't he?
:09:24. > :09:50.There's no screen for Nigel Owens to make a decision, is there? I think
:09:51. > :10:11.he's happy. There is no reason why you can't
:10:12. > :10:15.award a try. Road REFEREE: That means I can award
:10:16. > :10:29.a try? Yes. We got rid of all the double
:10:30. > :10:38.negatives. The determination of Rhys Webb, despite the efforts of Gavin
:10:39. > :10:40.Evans, and he manages to turn and get the ball to ground for that
:10:41. > :11:14.extra point. We saw Rhodri Williams take over the
:11:15. > :11:19.number nine shirt at the end of the Six Nations. Now Rhys Webb gets a
:11:20. > :11:47.try of his own. The conversion is an easy one for Dan Biggar.
:11:48. > :12:08.McAuley Cook has just come on for Ellis Jenkins.
:12:09. > :12:30.Robinson is off to join the Scarlet 's next year.
:12:31. > :12:38.That is such an uncomfortable position to be in. But the ball was
:12:39. > :12:42.going dead. The ball died on him but he managed to scramble some type of
:12:43. > :12:57.kick in the end. The Blues are immediately back under
:12:58. > :13:01.pressure on their own try-line. And the line-out hasn't been one of
:13:02. > :13:17.their strengths tonight. There is a lot of pressure on this.
:13:18. > :13:32.Taken safely and delivered to Copeland.
:13:33. > :13:48.That is excellent play. Good yardage from Lloyd Williams.
:13:49. > :13:51.No one is getting over the gain line and that is a huge problem for the
:13:52. > :14:23.Blues. I think he is looking for Dan Biggar
:14:24. > :14:30.again. I don't know why they go for the sticks here now. It is Dan
:14:31. > :14:44.Biggar. You can't do that. That's dangerous.
:14:45. > :14:58.There's clearing and there's clearing.
:14:59. > :15:05.At the end of the season, positions in the league are determined by
:15:06. > :15:11.matches one and then points difference. That is an extra three
:15:12. > :15:21.for the Ospreys. That will improve the points difference. Fail. He got
:15:22. > :15:24.the bonus point in the bag. It looks like it is comfortably won. How
:15:25. > :15:36.tempted a year to bring off some of your big players? We are discussing
:15:37. > :15:46.some of the permutations. How much a points difference is in your mind?
:15:47. > :15:52.We have been pretty good this year in terms of accumulating points so
:15:53. > :15:54.we want to keep it bald as well although conditions are limiting.
:15:55. > :16:19.Thanks very much. Scott Baldwin captained against
:16:20. > :16:31.Japan in the second test in the summer.
:16:32. > :18:03.Rhys Webb to Alun Wyn Jones. Ryan Jones in the gap. Good angle. It is
:18:04. > :18:15.lost though. Sam Davies is tracking back. Alex Cuthbert. Aisea Natoga
:18:16. > :18:27.looking for a bit of space behind. Gareth Davies. That is a clear
:18:28. > :18:32.penalty. Robin Copland with the first -- for the first time with
:18:33. > :18:36.ball in hand. He loses it. It has been the story of the night for the
:18:37. > :18:57.Blues. They cannot keep hold of this ball. Picked off by Scott Andrews.
:18:58. > :19:32.Is this sevens? The ball is likely pinball up there. That is a lack of
:19:33. > :19:35.communication. The Blues have been poor but I have been impressed with
:19:36. > :19:39.the Ospreys. The conditions are difficult but the Ospreys have
:19:40. > :19:54.looked sharp and have put a lot of width on the ball. Very impressive.
:19:55. > :20:19.Fresh legs for the final quarter. Adam Jones. Alun Wyn Jones goes off.
:20:20. > :20:26.Tom Habberfield is on at scrum half as well. Sorry, I thought he
:20:27. > :20:36.Tom Habberfield is on at scrum half coming on the Rhys Webb for a
:20:37. > :20:42.second. I don't understand this conversation between Nigel Owens and
:20:43. > :20:45.Lloyd Williams. He is saying if the next one is a straight it will be a
:20:46. > :21:12.penalty but every of should be straight. The drive on by Filo
:21:13. > :21:35.Paulo. The defence up quickly. Harry Robinson. No where to go for Gareth
:21:36. > :21:39.Davies. Robin Copland. He has played in all 16 league matches this
:21:40. > :21:47.season. They will miss him when he goes to Munster next season. Cory
:21:48. > :21:59.Allen. He is in. Jonathan Spratt. Dan Fish cannot gather. Good hands
:22:00. > :22:06.from Justin Tipuric. Two passes. Aisea Natoga looking for a
:22:07. > :22:28.hat-trick. Just about wrote down. Great pick up by Scott Baldwin but
:22:29. > :22:39.it went forward. That is where the ball went forward but it was a great
:22:40. > :22:48.pick-up by Scott Algren. Sam Lewis goes off. He has had a very good
:22:49. > :22:52.game. He has had a good season. I think he and Justin Tipuric have
:22:53. > :23:21.worked -- worked well in tandem tonight.
:23:22. > :23:38.That is a nice scrum for once. Straighten up. Sam Davies has ten
:23:39. > :23:49.back alongside him. Under no great pressure, he spills the ball. -- he
:23:50. > :23:55.has Aisea Natoga alongside him. In the breadbasket and down it goes.
:23:56. > :24:15.These are the nights you do not want to play on the wing, let me tell
:24:16. > :24:24.you. The Blues desperately need something. No wins away from home at
:24:25. > :24:41.all this season. Just one win in the last nine. Robin Copland. He was
:24:42. > :24:46.fortunate to get away with that. Robin Copland back from Ireland duty
:24:47. > :24:52.in the Six Nations although he did not win a cap. Again, Aisea Natoga
:24:53. > :25:20.is passed Alex Cuthbert too easily. On the hour mark and the Blues still
:25:21. > :25:26.hunting for their first try. They have a toehold now down in the
:25:27. > :25:30.Ospreys 22. Let's talk to Phil Steele. 40 years ago this week Wales
:25:31. > :25:38.played England at Twickenham and lost 16-12. This man who is now
:25:39. > :25:46.chairman of Swansea was in the move that led to a disallowed try. Was it
:25:47. > :25:49.a try? It was definitely a try. I was 30 yards away from it as was the
:25:50. > :25:54.referee and I couldn't see it so neither should he. A big game for
:25:55. > :26:00.Swansea against Newport tomorrow. How important is that one? It is the
:26:01. > :26:08.decider of the season as far as we are as concerned. As far as -- as
:26:09. > :26:13.far as we are concerned. I am confident we will remain in the
:26:14. > :26:19.premiership. Let's rejoin the commentary for a second. They were
:26:20. > :26:22.on the attack until Justin Tipuric pinched it but the Blues have a
:26:23. > :26:34.penalty and the chance to attack again. You think you are the tackle
:26:35. > :26:38.and get back on your feet and Nigel Owens always used are penalised me
:26:39. > :26:43.for those ones as well. -- the tackler. He has made the tackle on
:26:44. > :26:58.Gethin Jenkins and is back on his feet. That was a good call from
:26:59. > :27:12.Nigel Owens. Macauley Cook wins the line-out and that is a good break
:27:13. > :27:18.of. Rhys Williams. Chris Dicomidis. Not the quickest of ball for the
:27:19. > :27:31.Blues to win -- use. Gareth Davies did well but lost it in contact.
:27:32. > :27:39.Blues to win -- use. Gareth Davies That one won't count. Half the
:27:40. > :27:47.break. Struggles through. It just went forward. That was a bit unlucky
:27:48. > :27:53.because Gareth Davies did well to get himself into that position. He
:27:54. > :28:03.took them on. Just last control of the ball. The Welsh internationals
:28:04. > :28:31.by and large playing three quarters of a game.
:28:32. > :29:00.Nigel Owens running out of patience. Sam Hobbs took it upon himself. Polo
:29:01. > :29:06.field. Cory Allen tries to get the ball wide. It will be a Blues scrum
:29:07. > :29:21.because a knock-on advantage is being played. That was a chance.
:29:22. > :29:27.That has to go. Sam Davies showed quick hands in the first and they
:29:28. > :29:29.scored. Instead of the inside step, just take and give and Cuthbert was
:29:30. > :29:46.in. It has been an improvement in the
:29:47. > :29:52.second half for the Blues. They have certainly had more of the ball and
:29:53. > :30:04.more of the game. But no more on the scoreboard just yet. Robin Copland.
:30:05. > :30:12.They are going back again. Lewis Jones. Rhys Williams leads the
:30:13. > :30:21.driver. Five metres short of the line. Paolo Field. The defence up
:30:22. > :30:31.very quickly again. Being kept honest again by Gareth Davies. Did
:30:32. > :30:42.that go forward? Yes. The chance has gone again. It is the destructive
:30:43. > :30:46.element of the Ospreys defence. The line speed is good and they are
:30:47. > :30:54.stopping them getting over the gain line. The Blues are running out of
:30:55. > :31:01.options. A quick hello to Mrs Nancy Williams who is 96 years old and a
:31:02. > :31:13.big fan. Let's go back down to Phil -- Phil Steele. We were talking
:31:14. > :31:19.about Swansea against Newport tomorrow and Swansea have produced a
:31:20. > :31:23.lot of good players for the Ospreys and Wales and the Lions.
:31:24. > :31:28.Absolutely. When you look at the Ospreys team tonight, out of the 23
:31:29. > :31:34.players, nine of them have come through the Swansea club. Six of
:31:35. > :31:40.them have played the Swansea this season. So the Ospreys need Swansea
:31:41. > :31:45.as a feeder club to carry this philosophy through because we cannot
:31:46. > :31:51.afford not to develop our own. And less teams in the premiership but
:31:52. > :31:57.given the opportunity and they have the will to develop these players,
:31:58. > :32:11.then Wales would have a future. Good luck with that game tomorrow. There
:32:12. > :32:18.is a big cup quarterfinal day tomorrow. I will be in Ebbw Vale.
:32:19. > :32:34.Rumour has it that the great Denzil Williams will turn up for Ebbw
:32:35. > :32:45.Vale. There will be a new work-out video for Christmas. Has he got a
:32:46. > :32:47.penalty spot there as well? ! Plenty more years left in him, let me tell
:32:48. > :33:00.you! Ashley Beck has had another good
:33:01. > :33:26.game for the ospreys. Was he holding his groin Nay? --
:33:27. > :33:53.there? A good recovery from the Ospreys
:33:54. > :34:01.scrum as they looked under pressure for a while. Dan Fish hands back
:34:02. > :34:09.towards Robinson. I don't
:34:10. > :34:38.started on the bench. I don't
:34:39. > :34:42.and he is on the bench. Look how far behind the gain line they are. They
:34:43. > :34:46.haven't even crossed it yet and they are running from five yards. Kept
:34:47. > :35:00.alive by Macauley Cook. They are having to work really hard
:35:01. > :35:07.to get anywhere. The blind pass just found Justin Tipuric.
:35:08. > :35:15.The Ospreys have done pretty much what they have to do with the bonus
:35:16. > :35:17.point in the bag. They hope these galas will do them a favour in
:35:18. > :35:35.Glasgow tomorrow. -- the Scarlet. Joe Bearman. Jonathan Spratt. Joe
:35:36. > :38:10.Bearman again. I think he has hurt himself. As
:38:11. > :40:58.Natoga got in for a hat-trick. Two more to add to the Ospreys
:40:59. > :41:34.total. They go further ahead. That was a lovely flick up. And
:41:35. > :41:36.that's done was trying to go the wrong way around but easy for Sam
:41:37. > :42:03.Davies. Is there going to be any consolation
:42:04. > :43:32.for the Blues. This is the tackle. A stinger. I
:43:33. > :43:43.think he's caught the old temple there as well. How he got up, I
:43:44. > :43:53.don't know. And he is in the scrummage now. He is an intelligent
:43:54. > :43:54.boy, Sam. I have the utmost respect for the front row. The shift they
:43:55. > :44:19.put in. He turns into a fast bowler there.
:44:20. > :44:26.Right arm over. I have total admiration. Every prop that is ever
:44:27. > :44:35.played the game at any level, I'd take my hat off to you. That is
:44:36. > :44:40.better by the Blues. Humberstone and Dan Fish but it was slow down and
:44:41. > :44:58.static by the time it reached Cuthbert.
:44:59. > :46:04.Dan Fisher was quicker than the chasing Osprey player. The Blues
:46:05. > :46:10.have a lot of work to do. It has been a tough year, but in a derby,
:46:11. > :46:17.that is the disappointing thing, they haven't really fired tonight.
:46:18. > :46:31.Man of the match? Sam Lewis played well before he went off but a
:46:32. > :46:33.hat-trick in these conditions. But Aisea Natoga is my man of the match
:46:34. > :47:11.tonight. Tom Habberfield. Trying to catch the
:47:12. > :47:38.defence trusting across field. Scott Otten. Ryan Jones. Scott Otten under
:47:39. > :47:42.pressure from the Blues defence. The Ospreys have been so much better at
:47:43. > :47:48.the breakdown, whoever has been in possession of the ball. A few
:47:49. > :48:00.mistakes creeping into their game and that is because they have had so
:48:01. > :48:05.much ball. Total domination. Appreciation from a crowd of over
:48:06. > :48:08.8000 four Jonathan Davies' man of the match award to the Fijian
:48:09. > :48:46.winger. Robin Copland tenders Lewis Jones.
:48:47. > :48:53.Alex Cuthbert. What a tackle by Joe Bearman. A superb ankle tap from Joe
:48:54. > :48:59.Bearman. It looked as though Alex Cuthbert was clear. It is not Alex
:49:00. > :49:05.Cuthbert's night. He thinks he's away. That is the worst feeling in
:49:06. > :49:19.the world, when you think you are away and you get ankle tap. He
:49:20. > :49:22.thinks he's away. It has been such a frustrating night for Alex Cuthbert.
:49:23. > :49:28.He has seen his opposite number scored a hat-trick and he has one
:49:29. > :49:32.chance with the ball in hand with a bit of space and he thinks he's
:49:33. > :49:47.clear and all of a sudden his world comes tumbling down. The scrums have
:49:48. > :50:02.been very messy. They cannot get them static. It has been a really
:50:03. > :50:06.tough night for the Blues. They put themselves under pressure early on
:50:07. > :50:16.and have seen the game being taken away from them. They are lacking
:50:17. > :50:19.confidence. Quite the opposite for the Ospreys. They took their chances
:50:20. > :50:27.confidence. Quite the opposite for and got the tries and the points and
:50:28. > :50:32.the bonus point. They also got the chance to work on a lot of different
:50:33. > :50:41.things and try combinations and use the squad. They still want more.
:50:42. > :50:57.Jeff Hassler. He never looks the space. -- for space. Leinster lead
:50:58. > :51:12.separate 20-0. Two tries for Luke Fitzgerald. -- Libra.
:51:13. > :51:24.Harry Robinson in a bit of pain to finish the game.
:51:25. > :51:31.Leinster consolidating their position at the top of the table. A
:51:32. > :51:35.big game on S4C tomorrow night for the Ospreys as well because Glasgow
:51:36. > :51:44.are in fifth at the moment and the Ospreys in fourth. I think his left
:51:45. > :51:53.ankle gets caught underneath him. The Willie accidental. We are back
:51:54. > :51:54.on Sunday at Rodney Parade and the highlights to follow on Sunday
:51:55. > :52:19.evening. -- P Willie accidental. Just what the players don't need any
:52:20. > :52:28.of -- any more. Let's hope it is not serious for high Robinson. -- Harry
:52:29. > :52:34.Robinson. He has signed for the Scarlets next season. Paul John and
:52:35. > :52:42.Dale McIntosh have a lot of work to do. It is that left leg for Harry
:52:43. > :53:03.Robinson and it makes it a miserable night for him and the Blues.
:53:04. > :53:16.This was the first drive. Show and go. Lovely skill. Of the toll for
:53:17. > :53:24.this one. Poor defence for the next one. Rhys Webb is playing with a lot
:53:25. > :53:46.of confidence. Eventually gets it down. And a great finish. An
:53:47. > :53:46.unfortunate injury for Harry Robinson.
:53:47. > :53:58.unfortunate injury for Harry gets caught underneath. I am not
:53:59. > :54:06.sure if it is left or right. It is his right ankle. Sam Davies just
:54:07. > :54:24.catches him. He just catches his right ankle. It was a total
:54:25. > :54:39.accident. It is definitely his left ankle. He seems to be all right. He
:54:40. > :54:44.is chatting away. But it is not nice to see. Kristian Dacey comes on.
:54:45. > :54:53.Sympathetic applause for Harry Robinson. Kristian Dacey, a former
:54:54. > :54:57.back row player will go back in the back row and Josh Navidi will go
:54:58. > :55:13.onto the wing for the remaining minute and a quarter. A bit of gas
:55:14. > :55:29.and a truly is the pain. Our best wishes go to Harry Robinson.
:55:30. > :55:41.Floated out Cuthbert. But straight out.
:55:42. > :55:46.Floated out will add to his frustration. It is
:55:47. > :56:00.not a night that Alex Cuthbert will look back at on -- will look back at
:56:01. > :56:11.with any fondness. Everybody has been there at one time or another.
:56:12. > :56:25.This should be the final play of the game. The Ospreys back in
:56:26. > :56:30.possession. Scott Otten. Tom Habberfield looking for a way
:56:31. > :56:44.through. The penalty coming for the Ospreys. Justin Tipuric. Still full
:56:45. > :56:50.of running. Hanno Dirksen. Aisea Natoga at scrum half to Dan Biggar.
:56:51. > :56:59.Joe Bearman. A great hit by a Filo Paulo. Jeff Hassler. Josh Navidi
:57:00. > :57:15.slipped as he went for it. He got it at the second attempt. Nothing much
:57:16. > :57:17.the Blues can do except put the ball of the park. A very frustrating
:57:18. > :57:24.night for the Blues. The Ospreys of the park. A very frustrating
:57:25. > :57:27.have got the bonus point and have consolidated their position in the
:57:28. > :57:41.top four and have seen of the Blues 34-9. Down to Phil Steele. Dan
:57:42. > :57:46.Biggar, the points difference could count at the end of the season. Were
:57:47. > :57:50.you aware of that night? No. We were looking to win the game. We got a
:57:51. > :57:55.few really tries and went from there. There was a lot of inaccuracy
:57:56. > :58:02.in our game but scoring five tries is always pleasing. Can you present
:58:03. > :58:13.him with his man of the match? Congratulations.
:58:14. > :58:18.The Ospreys remain in fourth after that the pity. We will see what
:58:19. > :58:24.Glasgow do against the Scarlets tomorrow. Hugh Bennett, a fantastic
:58:25. > :58:30.win for the Ospreys and well-deserved. A clinical first-half
:58:31. > :58:38.performance. They did well to put Cardiff away early on in the game.
:58:39. > :58:43.They will be happy with that. The Blues have a fair bit to work on.
:58:44. > :58:50.That was the most disappointing game of the season for the Blues. In a
:58:51. > :59:02.derby game, to lose like that, Dale McIntosh will be very disappointed.
:59:03. > :59:06.The man of the defeat was disappointing for the Blues but the
:59:07. > :59:10.The man of the defeat was Ospreys march on. They stretch their
:59:11. > :59:15.unbeaten win -- round of the Blues the six games and they are still in
:59:16. > :59:18.fourth place. The battle for the play-offs is heating up. That is it
