:04:32. > :04:33.use that. He is the best tackle I've ever coached and he hits the line
:04:34. > :04:39.better than any full-back in Europe. He has a knack of scoring big tries.
:04:40. > :04:44.First derby of the season, cannot wait. Me neither. Great to see him
:04:45. > :04:50.back on Welsh soil. Your first chance to see him on Welsh soil. One
:04:51. > :04:57.of only two players in the Pro12 to make more than 100 metres with ball
:04:58. > :05:20.in hand. They are looking for a full house here. Where are you, Phil? I
:05:21. > :05:24.have the former Wales man with me. I have watched him several times, he
:05:25. > :05:31.has got a great pass and he is deceptively quick. I am looking
:05:32. > :05:42.forward to it. A billiards table surface. Expecting a big walk up. It
:05:43. > :05:44.is looking pretty lively already. All these fans looking forward to it
:05:45. > :06:45.as much as we are. This week it goes up a level. This
:06:46. > :06:53.is a mouthwatering fixture. A change not entirely unexpected.
:06:54. > :07:20.Returning to the club where he spent five years as a player.
:07:21. > :07:26.I know he is licking his lips in anticipation between the battle
:07:27. > :07:30.between the man who wants to position over. We just saw Dan Baker
:07:31. > :07:46.and he will be up against Taulupe Faletau. A lovely parade. The
:07:47. > :07:52.old-style wobbly ground. An old-style WorldCom. Two of the three
:07:53. > :07:59.changes. Ian Gough returns back to the ground. Taulupe Faletau has his
:08:00. > :08:10.first game of the season. Hallam Amos is back to. The home debut for
:08:11. > :08:17.Captain Lee Byrne. The presence of five Welsh internationals gives the
:08:18. > :08:31.Dragons a stronger looking bench. Sam Parry has changed allegiance
:08:32. > :08:36.over the summer. His weight is over. He is now back in the starting
:08:37. > :08:47.line-up for a big occasion. For a big occasion, we have the best
:08:48. > :08:52.official for the bunch, Nigel Owens. So we only have two weight two weeks
:08:53. > :09:10.for the first big Welsh derby of the new season. Dan Biggar gets the game
:09:11. > :09:11.underway. The catch is caught there but the Dragons are immediately back
:09:12. > :09:33.and oppression. Jonathan Evans weights. Full is the
:09:34. > :09:36.stadium, they will be happy to get some breathing space there. The
:09:37. > :09:45.fireworks have made it look a bit misty in the stadium. It is great to
:09:46. > :09:59.see him come through his first game last week unscathed. Scott Baldwin
:10:00. > :10:06.has try scorer last week. Barnardo would take and to South African
:10:07. > :10:12.second rows facing each other here. It is another interesting talking
:10:13. > :10:17.points. It is about the players from foreign parts with a view to spend
:10:18. > :10:31.three years and then trying to don the worst jersey. They test the
:10:32. > :10:35.Dragons defence early doors. Bishop here clocking up 200 games for the
:10:36. > :10:41.Ospreys last week. He is the second player to do so.
:10:42. > :10:52.Nicky Smith another try scorer last week.
:10:53. > :11:12.They are going nowhere. It is high fives and backslapping all around
:11:13. > :11:21.from the Dragons. Showing that they are up for this. The Ospreys will
:11:22. > :11:27.have two work as hard as they did last week. Good shape, good mix. A
:11:28. > :11:49.good job done against Treviso. Very hungry Dragons side. Big hit. A big
:11:50. > :11:55.one too. In first, over the ball. Boris Stankovich throwing his hands
:11:56. > :12:05.up into the air. He won the penalty. A loose pass though. Meant for
:12:06. > :12:21.Dixon. Didn't reach. Could be a bit of space on the outside. Trying to
:12:22. > :12:32.get in the outside channel. Get over the gain line. Put behind him, to
:12:33. > :12:37.Bishop. Plenty of possession. Nicky Smith eyes up the gap. Great step
:12:38. > :12:50.and good off-load. What a skill set from the loosehead. Matavesi backs
:12:51. > :13:02.himself. Enterprise from the Ospreys. Pudding with solid but also
:13:03. > :13:27.feeding the big fellas in the middle. Just got beaten to it by Dan
:13:28. > :13:37.Biggar. Enough for them to reclaim possession. Beaten in the tackle
:13:38. > :13:53.area, the ball turned over by the Dragons. Dixon dips the shoulder,
:13:54. > :14:02.takes the hit. Back to Jonathan Evans. Mr Fairbrother. Picked up by
:14:03. > :14:10.Stankovich. Playing for position. Dan Evans is going long. He will
:14:11. > :14:13.settle for that. And settle down again. Very lively at the start from
:14:14. > :14:45.both sides. That was the Ospreys last weekend.
:14:46. > :15:05.Yes, that was unusual. Bernardo gets another this week. A good kick by
:15:06. > :15:10.Rhys Webb as well. Man of the match last week but just look at this. And
:15:11. > :15:13.early break from a loosehead. In the scrummaging game with that, all the
:15:14. > :15:19.best sides have props that can give you that. You cannot put a value on
:15:20. > :15:22.a loosehead that can offer you that sort of ball play. A few scrummages
:15:23. > :15:37.as well and that is quite an offering.
:15:38. > :15:50.Goes for the break, on the inside. Coming from Hallam Amos. Didn't come
:15:51. > :15:55.from how Amos. Very aware of the possibilities on the counter -- from
:15:56. > :15:59.Hallam Amos. Certainly looking to attack, every chance they can,
:16:00. > :16:04.keeping the ball in hand again. A loose pass, picked up by James King.
:16:05. > :16:09.Plenty of white shirts outside him, inside as well, to Matavesi, Alun
:16:10. > :16:11.Wyn Jones, and here comes the attack from the Dragons. It is one way and
:16:12. > :16:27.then the other. Fowler DME. At Eli Walker. We are expecting
:16:28. > :16:32.some big collisions. Will he come over to the far weighing, to Eli
:16:33. > :16:41.Walker? He is around his ankles. To Lewis Evans. The Dragons up to the
:16:42. > :16:49.22. Stankovich back-up on his feet and carrying. Great start to a game
:16:50. > :16:56.from both teams. Coming up very quickly in midfield. Typical
:16:57. > :17:09.umbrella defence, pushing him in the middle. Back it comes to Stankovich
:17:10. > :17:13.once again. Evans trying to take it one-handed. Advantage being played
:17:14. > :17:18.and Dan Evans looking to make use of that advantage but in the end they
:17:19. > :17:23.come back for a scrum. To fantastic start to a game of rugby. Both sides
:17:24. > :17:26.are so positive. One on ones all over the pitch. You mustn't
:17:27. > :17:32.underestimate as well the ambition that still exists at ten. He is up
:17:33. > :17:47.against bigger, the incumbent for Wales. -- he is up against Dan
:17:48. > :17:52.Biggar. Not an out and out seven, in the Ospreys colours. Yes, we
:17:53. > :17:56.identified before the game that this could be a slight problem for the
:17:57. > :18:01.Ospreys. They've gone through a few phases of play and it has been
:18:02. > :18:04.relatively quick ball as well. What he does is stops you affecting the
:18:05. > :18:08.speed of ball, which affect your defensive line, which means you get
:18:09. > :18:11.shortened up pretty quick. We have seen the Dragons, they're all
:18:12. > :18:17.attention is pretty quick but we have yet to see a turnover from the
:18:18. > :18:21.Ospreys. I like the look of him, on the up, good season last year even
:18:22. > :18:26.though the Dragons struggled a bit. A genuine seven, great quality at
:18:27. > :18:31.the breakdown, all the qualities that you want in a seven. Just made
:18:32. > :18:38.one appearance that the Scarlet 's. His home-town club. He is from the
:18:39. > :18:54.village of pond Henry. -- pond he got the try for the Dragons last
:18:55. > :19:19.week out in Galway. In that losing bonus point defeat.
:19:20. > :19:26.Nigel Owens certainly knows what he wants. He is not shy of producing
:19:27. > :19:40.cards if he doesn't get it sorted out. Lads, we spoke in the changing
:19:41. > :19:43.law before the game, the law is quite specific -- the changing room
:19:44. > :19:54.before the game. You are not giving me the space. It is as simple as
:19:55. > :19:57.that, space. Watch your own feet. Interesting, he Dragons have Boris
:19:58. > :20:00.Stankovich, seven years with the Leicester Tigers, and Lloyd
:20:01. > :20:12.Fairbrother, who has joined from the Exeter Chiefs. Against Nicky Smith
:20:13. > :20:18.and Adam Jarvis and Elliot Dee. Scott Baldwin caps for Wales. It has
:20:19. > :20:28.gone against Stankovich. I think that's a fair decision. It may not
:20:29. > :20:29.have been a whistle for Stankovich but Fairbrother chewing the dirt as
:20:30. > :20:50.well. That is tactical from the front
:20:51. > :20:52.five. A very pacey start. Nothing like a few reset scrums to get your
:20:53. > :21:17.lungs back. Faletau with the throw. But it is
:21:18. > :21:49.not straight. Lets see what happens this time
:21:50. > :21:57.round. It has gone down. On the near side, it is Fairbrother against
:21:58. > :22:14.Nicky Smith. Came from the touch judge. We used to seeing this early
:22:15. > :22:33.on with the scrums. The touch finder. He doesn't slip is buying.
:22:34. > :22:36.It was interesting last week when the scrum went one way then the
:22:37. > :22:46.other initially and then Nicky Smith and company took charge. That is
:22:47. > :22:59.very good from Fairbrother. And Faletau through the gap. Stankovich
:23:00. > :23:06.lost the ball in contact. And good defensive work, led by Bernardo.
:23:07. > :23:18.Yes, the Dragons runners running hard. Well matched though.
:23:19. > :23:32.A good gain line hit. CJ stander has carried on in the same way as last
:23:33. > :23:36.week. He got two tries last week out into a Visa. In Edinburgh he had a
:23:37. > :24:02.couple of kicks against Connacht. How cleared you need me to ask you
:24:03. > :24:09.to give a space. Workers, if you don't get a space, I am blaming you.
:24:10. > :24:15.Get the space. 30 minutes in, the frustration is showing. -- 13
:24:16. > :24:45.minutes in. No doubt in that. That is a great, great try from the
:24:46. > :24:54.Dragons. The feed mail may not have been straight. The crowd feeding off
:24:55. > :25:04.it. The spirits lifting. Loved the drive. The Ospreys scrum held from
:25:05. > :25:08.while. Dan Biggar... Sorry, Dan Baker needed a clean ball back. He
:25:09. > :25:16.has moved it across into the far channel. The ball is not there to
:25:17. > :25:39.him. To be fair, Dan Baker actually did pretty well.
:25:40. > :25:51.A simple kick for Jason Tovey. Let's go pitch side for the first time.
:25:52. > :25:57.When you have got a perfect tap of the ground, like it is tonight, how
:25:58. > :26:01.encouraging is that for the players? It is fantastic, to be honest. Very
:26:02. > :26:05.conducive to running rugby and you can see from the props, the front
:26:06. > :26:08.row wanting to get the balls in hands. They want to express
:26:09. > :26:12.themselves, the backs. They will probably express themselves in the
:26:13. > :26:16.latter part of the game but will the Ospreys come and play field
:26:17. > :26:27.position? A fantastic promise. Great rugby. Back to you, Gareth. Great
:26:28. > :26:37.support coming right on his elbow. Jonathan Evans probing again. That's
:26:38. > :26:42.a great hit from Alun Wyn Jones. We are certainly getting everything we
:26:43. > :27:26.hoped for. It is the old excuse. Battling, the
:27:27. > :27:37.scrum-half. There is the hit. At least he made it count. A shoulder
:27:38. > :27:53.into Jonathan Evans. Dixon, handful. Elliot Dee. They continue to try and
:27:54. > :27:56.develop the blindside. Faletau. Lewis Evans, unsung hero for the
:27:57. > :28:04.Dragons, started every league game last season. Langman. Lovely hands.
:28:05. > :28:10.Just too far for Faletau. I like it though. In fairness, both sides very
:28:11. > :28:14.positive, not just looking for ruck after ruck to go forward in the
:28:15. > :28:19.safety and comfort of the ground. Working for the off-load even in
:28:20. > :28:25.contact and it is worth it. If you can get it away to a shoulder runner
:28:26. > :28:32.it can really pay off. Going for the second row. Tries to squeeze it
:28:33. > :28:37.away. There was space there. Great skills, great vision, but the pass,
:28:38. > :28:45.as he was going to ground, not quite having the control it's needed. --
:28:46. > :28:49.control it's needed. If you are going to be looking for those
:28:50. > :28:52.off-load you have to have supporting players running shoulders time after
:28:53. > :28:59.time after time. Your fitness levels have to be there. Interesting to see
:29:00. > :29:01.that Hugh Bevan is back as fitness coach for the Dragons. Putting them
:29:02. > :29:38.through their paces pre-season. A little battle developing between
:29:39. > :29:45.him and Fairbrother. Nothing is giving. The youngster did show last
:29:46. > :29:53.week that he will have a battle and emerge from it. This is interesting.
:29:54. > :30:10.Is there foul play after the whistle, asks Nigel Evans, to Bevan.
:30:11. > :30:17.-- to TMO seven. That is Lloyd Fairbrother. He will be 23 in
:30:18. > :30:22.November. Those two props, the youngsters on the one side, lists
:30:23. > :30:30.Stankovich on the far side is 34, up against Alan Jarvis, three caps for
:30:31. > :30:36.Wales, back in 2012, before breaking a leg against the All Blacks. He has
:30:37. > :30:46.come through now. Alan Jones is gone. I think we are looking at the
:30:47. > :30:58.tight head side for the Ospreys. It has gone to ground. Carry on lads,
:30:59. > :31:09.let's go. Baldwin reacts to something. Doesn't seem to be a lot.
:31:10. > :31:28.Get the shoulder and get square. Crouch. Bind. Set. Jarvis's head
:31:29. > :31:33.popped up. Yes, I thought that was going to be a penalty to the
:31:34. > :31:46.Dragons. A long clearance from Dan Biggar. Makes good use of the boot.
:31:47. > :32:05.But that is not out of play. Dan Biggar chasing Dan Evans's kick.
:32:06. > :32:11.Phil Steele has made his way along side is and is with Kingsley Jones.
:32:12. > :32:14.Last time we spoke a pair you were going rate of knots against Connacht
:32:15. > :32:20.last season. This is a bit different this season? Yes, Lloyd Fairbrother
:32:21. > :32:26.on your right hand side deserves a lot of credit. He is five foot four
:32:27. > :32:29.and that is flattering him. It is a difficult opposition and I think
:32:30. > :32:32.Nicky Smith is finding it tough. There are just a few scrums and I
:32:33. > :32:39.have to keep working. The second row are working as well it must he said.
:32:40. > :32:47.3-0 lead at this stage? You must be pleased. Yes, but we need to keep
:32:48. > :32:52.going. Here comes Dan Baker for the Ospreys. Not through lack of trying
:32:53. > :32:59.for either team that those points haven't come. Very nicely done, got
:33:00. > :33:05.it right down to his foot. Good chasing by Matavesi. Good chasing
:33:06. > :33:09.rugby by the Ospreys. Dan Baker showing what he can do if he gets
:33:10. > :33:15.the platform. That wasn't the best of scrums but ounces one tackle,
:33:16. > :33:22.fence off another, then he is in space -- but bounces one tackle. A
:33:23. > :33:34.dinky kick, a pressure kick, very well done, forcing the scrum. He
:33:35. > :33:40.will be begging his front five to just offer the platform. Especially
:33:41. > :33:48.the tight head, Jarvis, in certain positions. You want to get a yard.
:33:49. > :33:54.Precious little play in either 22 so far.
:33:55. > :34:01.I wonder if they will go for another reset. It would be an indicator of
:34:02. > :34:06.how they are feeling about the scrum. I suspect they might. There
:34:07. > :34:09.they are, I thought they might have gone for catch and drive. They are
:34:10. > :34:14.obviously feeling comfortable, that is the mindset of the Ospreys.
:34:15. > :34:27.They've conceded a penalty but feeling OK, they are comfortable
:34:28. > :34:30.with their scrum. Crouch. We know Jeff Hassler is such a handful,
:34:31. > :34:36.coming in from Matt blindside wing as well. Dan Baker, we have seen him
:34:37. > :34:44.carry. They will sort the scrum out first. His frustration will show I'm
:34:45. > :34:49.sure. Nigel Owens. He is mindful of the occasion. They have had good
:34:50. > :35:03.rugby and they will not want to let the scrum bring it down. Inside, get
:35:04. > :35:11.that out. Get that out. Who would want to be a referee in charge of
:35:12. > :35:13.those six in particular? The referee camera takes you right into the
:35:14. > :35:31.action. That is what he is seeing. Baker has to dig for it. It was
:35:32. > :35:45.really untidy. A knock-on, a bit of relief for the Dragons.
:35:46. > :35:53.Just watch Nicky Smith here, desperately trying to keep the scrum
:35:54. > :35:57.up. Not allowing the drive and Fairbrother goes first. It is
:35:58. > :36:03.difficult to pick up the penalty sometimes but a clear example bear.
:36:04. > :36:14.Fairbrother went low and collapsed, the Dragons got a way with it.
:36:15. > :36:24.Ospreys can concentrate fully on the drive. Again, Fairbrother finds
:36:25. > :36:31.itself facedown on floor. You can sense the frustration. Lloyd
:36:32. > :36:40.Fairbrother will be wise not to do that one again. Rhys Thomas, Owen
:36:41. > :36:45.Evans, do Dan Way, Duncan Jones and Daniel Suter better start warming
:36:46. > :36:55.up. I can't see the present six staying on.
:36:56. > :37:05.Fairbrother has gone again. It has to be Dragons three. That is unfair.
:37:06. > :37:11.He said the next two to go down are off and Nicky Smith has suffered
:37:12. > :37:15.alongside Lloyd Fairbrother. You have to understand the difficulties
:37:16. > :37:27.in. He has not seen the history of the set of scrums. It is usually the
:37:28. > :37:33.case, I think when one loses his footing, Nicky Smith you can see has
:37:34. > :37:36.done nothing there. His legs are out, he can't support the weight of
:37:37. > :37:50.Fairbrother and he wants to go down. Very hard to hold on.
:37:51. > :38:10.James King has to make way. In fact no, they have changed their minds.
:38:11. > :38:17.Joe Bearman. Lads come you go down and you go. It is simple as that.
:38:18. > :38:30.The same with the boys. Lewis Evan is also the blindside. An enforced
:38:31. > :38:38.period in the sin-bin. Dragons Ali drive. -- early drive. To be fair he
:38:39. > :38:52.is just trying to get the game going. Penalty against White nine.
:38:53. > :39:08.It is going to go against Rhys Webb. If you can't keep discipline it is
:39:09. > :39:10.your issue back you go. Saying it was the swinging arm of Rhys Webb on
:39:11. > :39:31.the opposite number. He wants the ball quite a bit of a
:39:32. > :39:39.forearm across the chest and that is a fair call. If that was a punch it
:39:40. > :39:47.was a very poor one, certainly a straight arm across the chest.
:39:48. > :39:56.Taulupe Faletau struggling to keep hold of it but manages to. Forward
:39:57. > :40:07.before Nic Cudd could do the clearing work. It's amazing how much
:40:08. > :40:29.a game can change over ten minutes. It is just classic derby stuff now.
:40:30. > :40:48.The Ospreys again are looking to work off the base of that scrum. I
:40:49. > :40:54.thought maybe they could have gone earlier. Bigger goes for the snap
:40:55. > :41:02.drop goal but does not catch it clearly enough. I felt that scrum
:41:03. > :41:34.worked out nicely for him. Still at the one penalty. A bit of
:41:35. > :41:41.indecision now from Ospreys. It was perfectly judged by the kicker. You
:41:42. > :42:22.would not want to get Anthony, Bose. Evans waits and it is time to
:42:23. > :42:34.recover but for being pounded to the floor by Morgan. Eli Walker, he's
:42:35. > :42:35.away there. A despairing flail from Lee Byrne is just enough to hold
:42:36. > :42:53.them. Border into Duncan Jones. Dan Biggar back to Dan Baker. Tyler
:42:54. > :42:58.Morgan with a tackle through the back door, to Eli Walker, keeps it
:42:59. > :43:13.alive and it is Nic Cudd who picks it. The Dragons are there again. It
:43:14. > :43:19.is such an important steel. Eli Walker had the initial break and it
:43:20. > :43:26.is Walker again right to the death. The kit infield.
:43:27. > :43:42.It is a fair hits from him. Aled Brew, former Osprey Dan Biggar and
:43:43. > :43:47.the current Osprey. Dan Biggar was fair game there, brew letting had
:43:48. > :43:54.one. If the flag was up there might have put differently. It is bubbling
:43:55. > :44:10.isn't it. That is a fair tackle. It's just the
:44:11. > :44:19.case of where the whistle has gone. He goes into giving moshav and then
:44:20. > :44:32.gets a slap in the face. -- giving him a shelf. It was a better push by
:44:33. > :44:35.four. I think you did take action against one you can't take action
:44:36. > :44:48.against the other. The push by number four is right in the face
:44:49. > :44:55.there. I would penalising yes. It is round the face. That is a fair
:44:56. > :44:59.assessment. Dan Biggar was in the wrong and should have reacted and
:45:00. > :45:07.kicked it all. There is nothing at all wrong with Aled Brew 's tackle.
:45:08. > :45:11.Even Stevens in my eyes. Dan Biggar would have been wondering what day
:45:12. > :45:18.it was because it would not have been a slap from Ian Gough. Here is
:45:19. > :45:26.done bigger and his reaction. Not happy about it. The referee did not
:45:27. > :45:34.have a problem about it. He might not hear the signals for a few
:45:35. > :45:36.minutes but that's about it. Just the local bobby giving him a cuff
:45:37. > :45:48.around the ear. LAUGHING
:45:49. > :45:55.Dan Biggar can consider himself slightly fortunate to get the
:45:56. > :46:14.penalty that puts the Ospreys back on level terms.
:46:15. > :46:18.I forgot I had about who would see Walker so involved to show what he
:46:19. > :46:38.can do. There is a bit happening out there
:46:39. > :46:45.is in there. Would you expect? A great one by Taulupe Faletau.
:46:46. > :46:54.Jonathan Evans goes out why to Jack Dixon. In open play, both sides are
:46:55. > :47:00.looking very good. Through the back door God. -- through the back door
:47:01. > :47:12.to Ian Gough. He cuts back in the Eventually just going for position
:47:13. > :47:37.but not getting enough whip with it. Jones tries to get them going again
:47:38. > :48:08.but it has been knocked forward. The game is balancing on very small
:48:09. > :48:12.margins. When there is rugby and in no whistle games, both sides look
:48:13. > :48:19.very positive with the ball in hand. Their testing defences. I'm sure in
:48:20. > :48:25.the second half we will hopefully see more of that.
:48:26. > :48:48.The two new props on the side of the scrum, at least for the next couple
:48:49. > :48:55.of minutes. At least while the sin-bin is still in force.
:48:56. > :49:16.Keep the space, if you do not want to play a game then go off. Space.
:49:17. > :49:35.I thought he was going to help out on a loose end there.
:49:36. > :49:47.Did go forward? Play on for the moment. That is a free beef of the
:49:48. > :49:57.Dragons by the look of it. -- a freebie.
:49:58. > :50:18.Ospreys did not go for it last weeks I think they may do here. There will
:50:19. > :50:22.have to wait a minute because the man who needs to throw the ball is
:50:23. > :50:33.evidently not fit to do so at the moment. One of the few clean breaks
:50:34. > :50:38.you have seen, Eli Walker. And there goes the flying Lee Byrne he was the
:50:39. > :50:46.last line of defence and he knew it. I'm not even sure you can call that
:50:47. > :50:51.a tap tackle. For the second time of asking walk involved, that was quite
:50:52. > :51:00.clever, I think you chose to go to ground to get lower and avoid being
:51:01. > :51:04.hit by the covering defence. The top two in action in the Premiership
:51:05. > :51:11.tomorrow, Chelsea versus Swansea. You can hear this on radio Wales.
:51:12. > :51:17.You can also hear what is happening in the RDS as well.
:51:18. > :51:26.That is at 345 4:04pm kick-off. On Sunday, Blues against Glasgow after
:51:27. > :51:41.a fresh wind. Getting up close and personal with
:51:42. > :51:49.Andy Powell on 6:40pm Sunday evening. Important defensive line
:51:50. > :51:53.for the Dragons. Taulupe Faletau has threatened on a few occasions but
:51:54. > :52:01.now they have not challenged in this time. Again, off the ball. This time
:52:02. > :52:13.Alun Wyn Jones and Nic Cudd had a bit of a tangle. Lee Byrne.
:52:14. > :52:28.Inching his way forward. That is a clear penalty. Yes, good turnover.
:52:29. > :52:48.Hallam Amos saying it is going that way.
:52:49. > :53:00.He has to work hard for this one, Nicky Smith begin getting in low. He
:53:01. > :53:05.beat him to it. A brave solid tackle to win the turnover. I think it
:53:06. > :53:09.could have been James King. That makes sense. Very impressive. It
:53:10. > :53:22.makes more sense it was him. Just four minutes remaining of the
:53:23. > :53:34.first half. They are still locked level, Bishop paste Dan Evans. Two
:53:35. > :53:40.good attacking full-backs. Dan Evans a tricky runner.
:53:41. > :53:48.Had to be dug out by Andrew Bishop in the end which was set up by Scott
:53:49. > :53:57.Baldwin. They can't quite get enough of it though.
:53:58. > :54:04.Webb, great work by Rhys Webb. And it is Eli Walker who benefits from
:54:05. > :54:08.it. And the Dragons were caught napping on the line side but a
:54:09. > :54:14.brilliant bit of work by Rhys Webb. A simple finish in the end for Eli
:54:15. > :54:21.Walker. That was great work. They combine that well last week, Web and
:54:22. > :54:24.walk are mostly of box kicks but this is a different proposition
:54:25. > :54:33.altogether. A great score right on half-time. I was getting ready to
:54:34. > :54:39.shout wrong option, takes a hit and draws burn but then Walker against
:54:40. > :54:45.Lanman there is only one winner there. It does not look as though
:54:46. > :54:56.anything is going on and it is a very inventive kick. Walker does
:54:57. > :55:05.what's good winger Steve. -- wingers do. Last year he was pulled out with
:55:06. > :55:07.a hamstring injury just before the island game, it is great to see him
:55:08. > :55:19.back to full fitness. Alex Cuthbert go try bust week, the
:55:20. > :55:32.Welsh wingers are finding their way to the try line early season. A
:55:33. > :55:38.lovely strike and a superb conversion from Daniel Biggar. After
:55:39. > :55:39.the game being locked for such a long time, as half-time approaches,
:55:40. > :56:03.the Ospreys have a bit of daylight. Walker actually attached that rock
:56:04. > :56:13.ruck. A good take by Alun Wyn Jones. Not put off by anything around him.
:56:14. > :56:22.Taulupe Faletau looking again for the off-road if possible.
:56:23. > :56:33.You can see Bishop coming up with the umbrella defence now. Tyler
:56:34. > :57:07.Morgan. We will be catching up with the
:57:08. > :57:13.Dragons Chief Executive cover Gareth Davies later on. If you have not
:57:14. > :57:18.heard the news both he and Anthony Buchanan have been voted on as
:57:19. > :57:22.directors of the Welsh Rugby Union. And the Chairman David Pickering has
:57:23. > :57:29.lost his place. Drama off the field once again in Welsh rugby.
:57:30. > :57:39.The last player of an absorbing first half, and there is the man
:57:40. > :58:09.himself. First he'll be catching up, there's no escaping is there?
:58:10. > :58:27.Crouch. Bind. Hold it there do not go in. I asked you to not go in
:58:28. > :58:32.Dragons and you went in. Can they be bothered with one more attack? They
:58:33. > :58:37.can't go to the touchline is I think they'll surrender for the half-time.
:58:38. > :58:43.Dan Biggar looks and says no, that'll do for the first half.
:58:44. > :58:47.That's really was an absorbing first half. Plenty going on and the
:58:48. > :58:49.Ospreys with Eli Walker have the only try and lead by ten points.
:58:50. > :59:00.There's go straight over to How much was that a blow? A bit we
:59:01. > :59:06.spent a lot of time and we to get the ball in our hands and attack
:59:07. > :59:11.together. Like I said we are defending a lot at the moment and we
:59:12. > :59:12.are to defend. That was Lee Byrne the captain, here's Ross with story
:59:13. > :59:22.of the half. It is tight and close and the scrum
:59:23. > :59:26.has been something of a lottery. When the Dragons had it working
:59:27. > :59:31.there had some big shots. That leading to the game 's opening
:59:32. > :59:38.score. That put them 3-0 ahead. As you expect from any derby a bit of
:59:39. > :59:43.handbags. Dan Biggar duly slotted in a penalty, 3-0 a score. At the
:59:44. > :59:47.stroke of half-time and opportunistic from Rhys Webb and
:59:48. > :59:55.electric place of Eli Walker led to a try. Possession is more or less
:59:56. > :00:01.even Stevens although Dragons are edging a bit more ahead. This is
:00:02. > :00:08.despite them spending the last ten minutes defending. Allergen 73
:00:09. > :00:16.metres made by the Dragons to 203 for the Ospreys.
:00:17. > :00:25.Even though the scoreboard is 10-3, do you feel that this game is on the
:00:26. > :00:27.verge of kicking into life. So the opportunities but just failing to
:00:28. > :00:34.convert apart from that try near the end? Both teams at the moment are
:00:35. > :00:39.failing to spend prolonged periods of time in the opposition's
:00:40. > :00:42.defensive areas. We try to go from touchline to touchline or finish on
:00:43. > :00:48.a positive and the Ospreys managed to do that, coming away with points.
:00:49. > :00:52.With the likes of Rhys Webb, Eli Walker, we have seen what prolonged
:00:53. > :00:56.pressure can get you. Hopefully more gaps will start to appear in that
:00:57. > :00:59.second art but we talked about the scrum briefly, it's often a blight
:01:00. > :01:02.on any game of rugby and Nigel Evans has been getting increasingly
:01:03. > :01:07.frustrated in the middle this evening. -- Nigel Owens. Have you
:01:08. > :01:13.made any sense? I got some inside knowledge on it. Not much success at
:01:14. > :01:16.the tenures of this. Think of where the Dragons scrum was last year,
:01:17. > :01:20.they have made some improvements on the Kingsley Jones. What they are
:01:21. > :01:26.trying to do is have long scrums. Chasing their feet, keeping it nice
:01:27. > :01:29.and steady, trying to keep all the feet static and have along the scrum
:01:30. > :01:36.and force the issue onto the Ospreys. It works to a lesser extent
:01:37. > :01:40.here and Dan Baker confuses the issue. A static scrum from the
:01:41. > :01:44.Dragons, they get a bit of purchase, Lewis Evans moves his bind from the
:01:45. > :01:48.second row up into the side of Nicky Smith, the loosehead. Add it into
:01:49. > :01:53.the front row, he finishes them further Dragons and they win the
:01:54. > :01:56.penalty. There is a real improvement but Nigel Owens is airing on the
:01:57. > :02:00.side of the Ospreys at the moment. He has given two yellow cards and I
:02:01. > :02:05.think he will get even more frustrated in the second half but he
:02:06. > :02:12.gets some parity. How did you rate job loss at Bristol's scrummaging? I
:02:13. > :02:17.think it is pretty spot-on. I think the Dragons have worked out a of
:02:18. > :02:22.managing the Ospreys scrum. We have got to talk about Dan Baker as well,
:02:23. > :02:28.superb in a round base. It's a very good skill to have in a mobile
:02:29. > :02:34.scrum. Another good touch from Dan Baker. We talked about Eli in the
:02:35. > :02:39.first half. Some great chances, including before the try when he saw
:02:40. > :02:43.the gap and went through it. When he picked up his head he picked up that
:02:44. > :02:47.Nic Cudd was in front of him. He saw the gap and went through it. This
:02:48. > :02:52.guy has blistering pace. A great off-load by Bishop. Coming inside,
:02:53. > :02:57.is aiding the touchline but there he should have just controlled it, held
:02:58. > :03:02.onto the ball. You can see Rhys Webb, a bit of a kick, this guy has
:03:03. > :03:08.wheels to burn. Great for Wales really. This guy has a great turn of
:03:09. > :03:11.pace and well finished. We watched that from the studio and you Ryan
:03:12. > :03:16.through your arms up in frustration when Rees kicked that ball away.
:03:17. > :03:20.Although it was opportunistic to did work. It was a typical what are you
:03:21. > :03:27.doing? Factorial and oh yes, it is great. Now, look, when you have guys
:03:28. > :03:32.around, magic things like that can happen. We talked about his ability
:03:33. > :03:35.to scan what is around him. Eli must have been talking to him and he
:03:36. > :03:40.spotted a gap. That's a wonderful bit of skill. He is wearing the
:03:41. > :03:46.number 11 jersey, Eli Walker, we know who used to wear that. Is he as
:03:47. > :03:54.quick as he is a elusive? Yes, Shane was a bit of a step, all things came
:03:55. > :03:58.from zero -10 metres but this guy is very quick. He looks to run a very
:03:59. > :04:02.smooth arc, very fluid across the ground which makes it very difficult
:04:03. > :04:05.to attack especially when you have long levers. For guys like they,
:04:06. > :04:10.when guys are moving at that pace they are very difficult to stop.
:04:11. > :04:13.Certainly igniting the attack this evening and you have noticed some
:04:14. > :04:17.subtle differences between the attacking styles of the two sides?
:04:18. > :04:24.Interesting hearing him call him a bit of a step! They are in normal
:04:25. > :04:27.play not very dangerous, the Ospreys. The Dragons are developing
:04:28. > :04:32.a style of play. This frustrates me when you see a pass off the deck to
:04:33. > :04:36.a forward, Alan Jarvis here. He has Alun Wyn Jones that he can tip a
:04:37. > :04:41.pass on which is harder to defend but this is too easy. A low drop
:04:42. > :04:45.tackle, in goes stank of it should together turnover. Likewise the
:04:46. > :04:48.Lions captain. He is on the move, with the opportunity to take this
:04:49. > :04:51.into space to Barnardo and again it is easy for Nic Cudd to get over the
:04:52. > :04:56.ball. Contrast that with the Dragons, this is Jones at his best.
:04:57. > :05:01.Moving the point of attack, shifting it to the defence, making it hard
:05:02. > :05:06.for them to get over to the ball. Also learning a style to play
:05:07. > :05:09.against the defence. Look how quick they are to realign. Guys on the
:05:10. > :05:17.floor working hard to get into position. They get around the
:05:18. > :05:22.corner, try to stretch the Ospreys forward. They are trying to get it
:05:23. > :05:27.into play. What interests me is how they've pulled back in this channel
:05:28. > :05:31.trying to exploit Dan Baker on his own next Aaron Jarvis. This is a
:05:32. > :05:35.coached aspect of play that has brought a sense of intelligence to
:05:36. > :05:40.the Dragons rugby this season and may help them make the top six.
:05:41. > :05:45.Buddy more sport this weekend, uninterrupted live sport all day
:05:46. > :05:49.tomorrow or on radio Wales. You can get live coverage of the football,
:05:50. > :05:53.Chelsea versus Swansea, Cardiff the knowledge and Leinster the Scarlet
:05:54. > :05:56.is in the Pro12. You can also download a podcast of the scrum
:05:57. > :06:03.radio show if you missed that. On Sunday it is the Blues. I'm also
:06:04. > :06:10.joined in the studio for a round-up of all the action from scrum five.
:06:11. > :06:18.We will be speaking to one of the colourful characters. I think until
:06:19. > :06:23.you meet me, and have a beer with me or whatever, then you find out who I
:06:24. > :06:28.am and what I am about. I'm pretty down-to-earth, easy-going. People
:06:29. > :06:31.think I am stuck up but I'm not stuck up at all. I'm just one of
:06:32. > :06:36.these down-to-earth people who I love my job and I would talk to
:06:37. > :06:39.anybody on the street. We had a good couple of hours in the company of
:06:40. > :06:44.Andy Powell, top bloke, interesting guy. Probably he will come on in the
:06:45. > :06:48.second-half quite early I think. He has been told to come on and wreak
:06:49. > :06:52.havoc so that should be something for these Dragons fans to get about.
:06:53. > :06:55.You don't think there are enough characters left in the game at the
:06:56. > :07:00.moment, it has become too sterile, is that a fair point? He is
:07:01. > :07:02.certainly a character. He is a fantastic guy dad in a changing
:07:03. > :07:06.room, he really brings guys together. When his head is in the
:07:07. > :07:09.right place he is an exceptional player. He has been known to go
:07:10. > :07:13.wandering a little bit throughout his career but a very funny guy, a
:07:14. > :07:17.great guy to have around, he will meet the guys together and do
:07:18. > :07:21.exceptionally well in the Newport Gwent Dragons. More Irish than the
:07:22. > :07:28.Irish was how the Irish described him. How I wish would you describe
:07:29. > :07:31.them? He is one of sports great characters. He is great in a team
:07:32. > :07:35.environment. We have got a point where professional rugby is going
:07:36. > :07:38.away from those characters. The environment is getting more sterile
:07:39. > :07:42.as the demands on the players to become athletes gets more and more.
:07:43. > :07:45.They come from a civil background, through various academies and
:07:46. > :07:49.obviously with the intrusion of social media you cannot get away
:07:50. > :07:53.with half as much as you used to. Absolutely. We will leave it there.
:07:54. > :07:56.Let's get out of the touchline. Some news this evening if you haven't
:07:57. > :08:02.heard the radio bulletins. David Pickering has lost his seat on the
:08:03. > :08:05.WRU board and Gareth Davies who is currently the Chief Executive of the
:08:06. > :08:10.Newport Gwent Dragons has been elected to the 18 man union board
:08:11. > :08:14.and we can speak to him now. Thanks, Ross. Gareth, congratulations first
:08:15. > :08:19.on getting on the board. What are you hoping to bring to the role? A
:08:20. > :08:23.lot of clubs vastly over the left couple of weeks, I've had numerous
:08:24. > :08:26.phone calls etc asking me where I stand on things like grassroots.
:08:27. > :08:31.Being involved with the professional game, perhaps there there is is this
:08:32. > :08:35.-- a suspicion or what have you that you are only interested in a part.
:08:36. > :08:40.But I've come through tumble rugby club before being lucky enough to go
:08:41. > :08:43.on and play at another level. So what I bring is somebody who has
:08:44. > :08:48.gone through the ranks, experienced it all, understands the issues that
:08:49. > :08:53.the small village clubs have faced in recent years and likewise other
:08:54. > :08:57.professional end of the game as well, the difficulty to be faced
:08:58. > :09:02.there. I don't know, I would like to think that the new board can bring a
:09:03. > :09:07.sense of unity, a sense of cohesion, which I don't care what anybody else
:09:08. > :09:10.says, I think has been lacking over the last couple of years. The first
:09:11. > :09:14.thing you have to do is elect a new chairman in the place of David
:09:15. > :09:17.Pickering. The big question for you, would you accept if you were
:09:18. > :09:20.nominated and how would it interfere with your job here? Could you
:09:21. > :09:25.married to? The first thing I would have to do is approve the new board
:09:26. > :09:28.members. Irrespective of who is going to stand or who is nominated
:09:29. > :09:32.for chairman, the important thing is to get a United board together to
:09:33. > :09:38.help the executive move the game on and create a greater sense of
:09:39. > :09:44.cohesion and unity which as I say I think has been lacking. If I had to
:09:45. > :09:47.push you, would you accept? I have a full-time job here at the moment is
:09:48. > :09:51.to be honest. It's not even crossed my mind at the moment. I'm looking
:09:52. > :09:59.forward to things in the next month so let's take it one step at a time.
:10:00. > :10:02.Good luck with that WRU role. Hopefully we will improve in the
:10:03. > :10:09.second half, 40 minutes left to go. 40 minutes left to go. Ulster taking
:10:10. > :10:14.on zebra. Ulster of course drawing against the Scarlet 's at a dramatic
:10:15. > :10:18.comeback. It is currently 19-10 at half-time. Nick Williams was first
:10:19. > :10:23.on the scoresheet for Ulster and then Craig Gilroy with the second
:10:24. > :10:32.try. 19-10 as things stand. A couple more at half-time as well. Munster
:10:33. > :10:37.have lost their last three so that will be a welcome victory for them
:10:38. > :10:42.on the road if it ends up like that. We have just seen the Ulster score.
:10:43. > :10:48.The Dragons of course are trailing 10-3 here at half-time. Hopefully we
:10:49. > :10:53.will see a bit more action in the second half. Which way do you see
:10:54. > :10:57.this one going? I think it may stay the way it is, with the Ospreys with
:10:58. > :11:02.a small lead. Comfortable coming into the second half, we could
:11:03. > :11:05.possibly see the arrival of Jones. I think Martin Roberts might come on
:11:06. > :11:08.as well as the game progresses but then we have got to see the arrival
:11:09. > :11:14.of Andy Powell who will come on, Andrew Coombs I am sure will be part
:11:15. > :11:18.of the play. It is finely poised so who knows. Strong benches were both
:11:19. > :11:20.sides, we will see what impact they have. Straight back to our
:11:21. > :11:22.commentary team now for the second half, Stuart Davies and Gareth
:11:23. > :11:40.Jarvis. The one change that the Dragons have
:11:41. > :11:46.made is the guy who kicked off, Angus O'Brien, making his debut for
:11:47. > :11:56.the Dragons. The youngster played for the Welsh under 20 team last
:11:57. > :12:02.year. Or even earlier this year. And there is O'Brien. A beautifully
:12:03. > :12:09.judged kick from the youngster as well.
:12:10. > :12:18.He came so short. Just tantalisingly short of the conversion. Wales lost
:12:19. > :12:26.19-18 in the fifth placed play-off against the French under 20s. A
:12:27. > :12:30.lovely first strike from him. Pushing the Ospreys back into their
:12:31. > :12:46.own 22 where again they go for the safety of Barnardo. Quite a line-out
:12:47. > :13:06.ball for them this evening. Lee Byrne ways of the options. O'Brien.
:13:07. > :13:11.Lewis Evans. Elliot Dee. I O'Brien was taken out by Matavesi, nowhere
:13:12. > :13:18.near. I wonder if they want to have a look at that. That was in kicking
:13:19. > :13:41.range as well. Foul play I guess. The assistant
:13:42. > :13:51.referee can come in. Eli Walker. In a bit of space. And showing a bit of
:13:52. > :13:59.pace as well. Walker. He is a danger man. But again, the Dragons are
:14:00. > :14:05.winning the turnover is far more often than the Ospreys. That's a
:14:06. > :14:07.superb turnover to win. Jonathan Evans. It's a real ding-dong affair.
:14:08. > :14:22.Lewis Evans. Bishop. Will he get that foot over
:14:23. > :14:35.the touchline? Pressure from Tyler Morgan. The steel from Faletau. The
:14:36. > :14:39.defence quickly led by Baldwin. Offside advantage being played. It
:14:40. > :14:42.was on the offside? It is Jack Dixon. Cover is there in the form of
:14:43. > :14:57.Matavesi. Landman. O'Brien. Goes for the gap. Just
:14:58. > :15:02.caught by Dan Baker. Nicky Smith between them. Didn't read it right,
:15:03. > :15:10.Jonathan Evans. The ball is given away. Knocked on though. It has been
:15:11. > :15:18.a stirring start the second half of the Dragons. And eventually they can
:15:19. > :15:22.take a breath. The second half started as the first did, very
:15:23. > :15:27.positive from both sides, let's hope as it continues for the next 37
:15:28. > :15:30.minutes or so. Here is the. Given the history of injuries this guy has
:15:31. > :15:35.suffered it is so good to see him running freely with confidence. What
:15:36. > :15:40.a dangerous site he is, a beautiful open field runner. Look how hard it
:15:41. > :15:43.is for the support and the Ospreys to get there. The dragon defenders
:15:44. > :15:45.are there in numbers and they get the turnover. Good attacking play,
:15:46. > :16:00.good defensive play. 105 metres, three carries. Always a
:16:01. > :16:05.good statistic. Including the all-important try as well. The
:16:06. > :16:16.Premiership fixtures, a full programme this weekend. Pontypridd,
:16:17. > :16:30.they are at home to Neath. The new banking, great gesture by the club
:16:31. > :16:33.named after the great Clive Burgess. They have struggled of late. They
:16:34. > :16:37.didn't put a team at last Saturday. They will put a team out tomorrow
:16:38. > :16:58.against care Philly. Good luck to them. -- against care
:16:59. > :17:10.good scrum by the Dragons and good control by Faletau. It has won them
:17:11. > :17:19.a penalty. They kept their shape, kept going forward. They had a
:17:20. > :17:25.scrum. The warnings are still in place. Maybe they will test referee
:17:26. > :17:30.Nigel Owens again. We did have a contest and it was won by the
:17:31. > :17:38.Dragons. A straight drive from the Dragons. On the far side with the
:17:39. > :17:42.Ospreys. Having a peek. Both props are up. They are creeping around.
:17:43. > :17:57.Soon enough, the decision goes against them.
:17:58. > :18:16.Angus O'Brien. Has his first chance. And delivers the three points. Well,
:18:17. > :18:20.it is a ridiculously young backline now that the Dragons have got. Angus
:18:21. > :18:26.O'Brien will be 20 next Wednesday. Hallam Amos will be 20 week
:18:27. > :18:37.Wednesday. Jack Dixon 20 a week in December, and Tyler was 20
:18:38. > :18:46.yesterday. If they go on the tort of the states they won't be able to
:18:47. > :18:50.have a drink! -- on a tour. As predicted by the boys at half-time,
:18:51. > :18:58.Andrew Coombs on to replace Ian Gough. He has had little
:18:59. > :19:08.opportunity, Jeff Hassler, this evening. Duncan Jones, back on for a
:19:09. > :19:16.second time. Matavesi. The wide ball to Bishop. The man outside the
:19:17. > :19:23.defender, couldn't get it quickly enough. We talk about passes being
:19:24. > :19:30.missed the sake of it but I do know that was the right call from
:19:31. > :19:35.Matavesi. Sauber space. This is decision time. Counting defenders.
:19:36. > :19:55.Centre partner. Combs can find. Has a real go. The
:19:56. > :20:07.Ospreys on the front foot. Committed himself to go for the tackle.
:20:08. > :20:15.Walker, men outside Alun Wyn Jones. Scramble defence from the Ospreys.
:20:16. > :20:21.Carrie from Barnardo, driven back in the tackle Lewis Evans and Fala town
:20:22. > :20:25.together. And a little dummy from Rhys Webb. As he did last week, gets
:20:26. > :20:32.behind the defence, a little show and go. Five metres to go, nobody
:20:33. > :20:42.there. Easy for Rhys Webb. A lovely play from the Ospreys number nine.
:20:43. > :20:45.If you do your work in the week, you should be telling your guys, it
:20:46. > :20:55.should be understood, don't go for the dummy. And they all buy it. It
:20:56. > :21:01.is a little show, a big step as well, which is where the damage is
:21:02. > :21:07.done. Book, line and sinker. He has gone following the ball with his
:21:08. > :21:16.eyes. All the way goes on to his left foot and then he goes through
:21:17. > :21:20.-- hook line and sinker. A simple conversion for Dan Biggar. And
:21:21. > :21:24.despite the Dragons coming out of the traps in the second half, the
:21:25. > :21:39.Ospreys showing great composure and clinical finishing.
:21:40. > :21:50.In a World Cup year, the big half-backs. Pushing Mike Phillips.
:21:51. > :21:54.Some really interesting battles ahead. Nine, ten, all over the
:21:55. > :22:04.place. Last weekend was a good weekend for the half-backs.
:22:05. > :22:10.Interesting for the Dragons. Baldwin tries to get over the ball.
:22:11. > :22:19.Advantage is over now. It is Dragons possession now. Lewis Evans, into
:22:20. > :22:32.the Ospreys 22. Jonathan Evans. Faletau. Alun Wyn Jones very
:22:33. > :22:37.groggy. Managed to find his way back into the safety of midfield. Alun
:22:38. > :22:52.Wyn Jones. There is Combs. The defence led by Baldwin again.
:22:53. > :22:59.They come flying up, too quickly possibly. Tyler Morgan in behind
:23:00. > :23:06.them. There is the man taken off the ball, on Morgan's shoulder. Crowd
:23:07. > :23:12.certainly asking for something. I don't think he has seen it. There is
:23:13. > :23:36.so much happening out there. Keep your eyes on him. Just coming
:23:37. > :23:49.in and he has taken him early. The hand on the shoulder. That is the
:23:50. > :24:01.penalty. The officials working in harmony.
:24:02. > :24:08.The onrushing defence waiting to put Tyler Morgan behind them. Tyler
:24:09. > :24:20.Morgan was looking for the flow. He knew that earns was on the shoulder.
:24:21. > :24:22.Next minute he is gone illegally. Andy Powell, let's see what he can
:24:23. > :24:41.do in half an hour. Second penalty for Angus O'Brien. As
:24:42. > :24:46.the Ospreys try to stay in touch. This was the hit on Alun Wyn Jones
:24:47. > :24:55.that made him a bit groggy. It is actually a boot to the head, an
:24:56. > :25:15.ASCII one. The Dragons playing, the ball was very intense. Andrew Coombs
:25:16. > :25:29.in his white boots has just come on the field. A great take by Dan
:25:30. > :25:37.Baker. Baldwin, to Walker. Good hands by the Ospreys. Crisp passing.
:25:38. > :25:49.Bishop. Jonathan Evans covers. Good corner flagging from the scrum-half.
:25:50. > :25:57.American football style, over the top. And they do go through the
:25:58. > :26:10.middle. It is Elliot Dee who is with him. Nobody quite close enough. A
:26:11. > :26:15.hot potato at the moment, picked up by Elliot Landman. Fairbrother. A
:26:16. > :26:25.good ball but illegal. Looked like a great steel for a
:26:26. > :26:56.second. These are graveyards. And the 22.
:26:57. > :27:13.Works for support, then realises he had to go.
:27:14. > :27:18.He is attacking that gain line, isn't it? Just has to commit to the
:27:19. > :27:34.line. Dan Biggar over the halfway line.
:27:35. > :27:43.Matavesi just struggling after taking a knock. That is possession.
:27:44. > :27:49.Territory for the Ospreys. Let's hear what the boys in the studio
:27:50. > :27:54.think. Still a two score game. A lot of the Dragons to do. Yes, still a
:27:55. > :27:57.lot for the Dragons to do but they are all migrating to the ball so
:27:58. > :28:01.when they are attacking they all seem to be by grating, they are not
:28:02. > :28:03.keeping that space and the Ospreys are defending really well and
:28:04. > :28:10.causing a lot of problems, an unforced errors. They need to
:28:11. > :28:14.nullify them. The Ospreys are managing just two umbrella and keep
:28:15. > :28:24.that Dragons attack. On the flip side, the Ospreys are managing to
:28:25. > :28:29.maintain some wits. That is the way that the Ospreys work, they turn
:28:30. > :28:40.quick possession and use it effectively. Trying to manufacture
:28:41. > :28:42.another kick. This will be another line-out. I don't know if he
:28:43. > :28:54.intended to do that, just keeping the pressure on.
:28:55. > :29:04.A quarter of an hour remaining. Eight points are the difference.
:29:05. > :29:25.The Dragons, forward in support of their scrum-half. Takes over in his
:29:26. > :29:36.immediate pressure. The line speed defensively for the Ospreys is
:29:37. > :29:49.tremendous. It is close. A very good clearance kick by Hallam Amos. Rhys
:29:50. > :29:50.Webb really not giving anything up. Lets get some more reaction from
:29:51. > :30:21.Phil. We will rejoin fill in a moment. --
:30:22. > :30:28.we will rejoin Phil. Baldwin, great, quick ball again. Excellent from the
:30:29. > :30:31.Ospreys. That is why they can put the pressure on the Dragons so much,
:30:32. > :30:44.because it is there on a plate for Rhys Webb.
:30:45. > :30:52.A good mix on the Ospreys at the moment. He spoke of multiple phases
:30:53. > :31:00.in the dangerous areas, a good example there. Frustrated by the
:31:01. > :31:05.fact of a knock-on at the end. Let's see if we can meet up with Phil
:31:06. > :31:20.Steele. He is not there at the moment we will in the second.
:31:21. > :31:33.Dan Baker about to be replaced, just leaving the field now. Morgan Allen
:31:34. > :31:36.is coming on. This game would always be tasty, so many have played for
:31:37. > :31:41.either side and this is the first Welsh derby. Taulupe Faletau and
:31:42. > :31:46.Baker, ten carries each at this stage. I think Bay gas doubled the
:31:47. > :32:22.yardage of his Dragon opposite number. -- Baker has doubled.
:32:23. > :32:37.This system referee on the far side is the one who called that one. --
:32:38. > :32:59.be a system referee. He plays his club rugby with Cross
:33:00. > :33:27.Keys. Since the Ospreys have gone to
:33:28. > :33:35.scores ahead, they have a bit of a stranglehold territorially. The
:33:36. > :33:43.Dragons are incredibly disappointed, coming away with a losing bonus
:33:44. > :33:46.point. The same happened in a goal way last week. They were very
:33:47. > :33:57.unhappy about some of the decisions against them as well. Every forward
:33:58. > :34:05.pass last year was being weighed on. Andrew Trimble has a third try at
:34:06. > :34:27.Ulster as they extend their lead at the game.
:34:28. > :34:35.He positions himself of a kick downfield. Walker was their first
:34:36. > :34:37.but then web came away with it. That has allowed them to exploit the
:34:38. > :34:51.space in midfield. He was busy last week. A bit of an
:34:52. > :35:22.acquisition for the Ospreys. Edinburgh still leading, they are
:35:23. > :35:35.looking for their second winter night. -- win tonight.
:35:36. > :35:55.There is time enough for the Dragons. They have been short of
:35:56. > :35:58.position so far and have been stuck in their own half. A great take by
:35:59. > :36:10.Dan Biggar. Morgan Allen trying to carry on with
:36:11. > :36:26.Dan Baker. Amos does well to avoid the presence
:36:27. > :36:28.of Jeff Hassler. The presence more than the tackle because no arms were
:36:29. > :36:57.involved. The Dragons are going more and more
:36:58. > :37:13.aerial. Not really threatening. It has come forward from Dan Evans.
:37:14. > :37:19.The two replacement props setting it up, Bernard trying to get in on the
:37:20. > :37:27.action every chance he can. A long advantage from the initial
:37:28. > :37:47.knock-on advantage. Let's hear the thoughts from Ryan
:37:48. > :37:52.Jones. Over the last 1015 minutes we have seen the Ospreys get a
:37:53. > :37:58.stranglehold. In the attack they are trying to get to the wider challenge
:37:59. > :38:03.and trying to get into the 15 yards from its stretching. They are
:38:04. > :38:08.creating the gaps in the dragon defences. They are kicking well and
:38:09. > :38:12.when they are exiting they are kicking down the challenges which
:38:13. > :38:15.allows them to pin the Dragons back. On the flip side, the Dragons are
:38:16. > :38:22.not really able to relieve the pressure and having repeated errors.
:38:23. > :38:30.They need a bit more composure. This is to really wrestle the game back
:38:31. > :38:37.from the Ospreys. There is a big? Over the young Ospreys pack coming
:38:38. > :38:41.up. They are faring very well and I think there'll running game from
:38:42. > :38:47.their forward pack is more effective than the latter part of this game.
:38:48. > :38:53.Conversely, Andy Powell has come on, he can still do it. He has not
:38:54. > :38:57.got into this game yet and Andrew Coombs has not as well. The Dragons
:38:58. > :39:05.pack need those guys to get them into the game and on the front foot.
:39:06. > :39:13.The last of the Ospreys five tries last weekend.
:39:14. > :39:19.That is disappointing for the Dragons. They had to work hard to
:39:20. > :39:22.get out of the defensive position and get downfield. They need to try
:39:23. > :39:30.and get themselves within a scoring distance. A collapse scrum cost them
:39:31. > :39:35.again. Dan Biggar will look freighted gain from the kick. The
:39:36. > :39:45.Ospreys throwing more passion. We forget to forget Dan and will be 25
:39:46. > :39:48.next month. He is very assured and very confident. He had an excellent
:39:49. > :40:14.season last year. Bearman driven on by the Ospreys
:40:15. > :40:22.pack. Morgan is in charge of the ball.
:40:23. > :40:28.That is a great surge from the Ospreys pack is Martin Roberts, the
:40:29. > :40:32.new scrum-half and Baldwin, not shy of carrying either. It is not
:40:33. > :40:38.spectacular but it's important just to get Ospreys on the front foot.
:40:39. > :40:43.Duncan Jones coming round the corner as busy as ever, you need. Alun Wyn
:40:44. > :40:48.Jones in the same vein. It is patient progress from the Ospreys.
:40:49. > :40:56.Dan Biggar now. Roberts to Baldwin once again. Power with a tackle.
:40:57. > :41:06.They are inching ever closer. They have lost about and it is a
:41:07. > :41:09.turnover. A turn for the Dragons. In the end bishop is back to lend a
:41:10. > :41:16.hand that forced them over the touchline. That was not a good pass.
:41:17. > :41:21.Lee Byrne had to try and touch and go there. The defensive line was
:41:22. > :41:26.just waiting for Aled Brew as much as he tried to it through. Just
:41:27. > :41:29.watch the numbers here. I think Lee Byrne has to try and bus there
:41:30. > :41:33.because Bishop is there and also Walker is waiting for him. Aled Brew
:41:34. > :41:46.does well but he was not going anywhere. An injury update on Rhys
:41:47. > :41:55.Webb. Almost a dead leg on a bicep. These players are so cautious and
:41:56. > :41:58.when you have a direct blow in a bicep it's very painful. This would
:41:59. > :42:00.hamper a scrum-half in the delivery of his ball but nothing too serious
:42:01. > :42:34.I hope. Banks fail. One black mark They cannot go directly touch now.
:42:35. > :43:03.Walker. He is cut He is cut down by Jack Dixon. Dan
:43:04. > :43:19.Biggar, quite happy to played into the corners. To play tag tree and
:43:20. > :43:22.playtime. -- territorial. It is the Dragons would welcome a score from
:43:23. > :43:40.down there. I think a change in tactics, not a bad border.
:43:41. > :43:42.Passed back by Rynard Landman who is taken on the captaincy from Lee
:43:43. > :44:02.Byrne. That is going out on the phone and
:44:03. > :44:08.the pass came from outside. Still, the Dragons cannot break free. It is
:44:09. > :44:15.just tremendous pressure from the Ospreys. Such a well-controlled
:44:16. > :44:23.game. This is a good clearance. It is passed into the 22 and he has to
:44:24. > :44:33.find the pitch there. Just making sure he does not do anything wrong.
:44:34. > :44:51.The Ospreys are looking for a drive on. Scott Baldwin at the tail.
:44:52. > :45:11.Duncan Jones got the ball for the Ospreys. Powell was waiting for
:45:12. > :45:23.Bishop. Alun Wyn Jones, yet another carry from the skipper. Roberts on
:45:24. > :45:32.his knees with a feed to Dan Evans. A tantalising and perfectly placed.
:45:33. > :45:38.Quickly taken though. It is still alive. A long long drop goal effort
:45:39. > :45:45.from Dan Biggar. Hands in the air and goes wide.
:45:46. > :45:54.You cannot blame him for trying. It was a good welly as they say. It is
:45:55. > :46:02.a long way out a goal though. Of centres well. He knows, it is just a
:46:03. > :46:09.restart against their will get possession again.
:46:10. > :46:23.The scoreboard read 17-9 in the Osprey favour. A very very good take
:46:24. > :46:26.there. Out to Dixon, Aled Brew was waiting. Again they could not work
:46:27. > :46:33.the spacing could not commit the man. I do think Dixon did enough on
:46:34. > :46:42.the inside shoulder. Dragons try to pick up the pace. Approaching the
:46:43. > :46:47.final ten minutes. Powell and Bishop are not giving an inch. A good strip
:46:48. > :46:57.by Scott Baldwin. The jargons have recovered.
:46:58. > :47:11.Again safety first from Dan Biggar. Only as far as Aled Brew. The crowd
:47:12. > :47:20.wanting to run. He does so. Little change from the Osprey defence.
:47:21. > :47:34.I bribed with a cross kick. In Walker. They collided together.
:47:35. > :47:38.I bribed with a cross kick. In clever from O'Brien. I think they
:47:39. > :47:41.saw that up at the kick into the space. Walker gets up in the first
:47:42. > :47:45.thing he has to do is recover his position and challenge for the ball.
:47:46. > :47:54.Was it a midair clash or did he take the man?
:47:55. > :48:01.It is just the penalty but Tyler Morgan looks to be in a big bit of
:48:02. > :48:05.trouble. It is about intent as much as what happened. As strange as that
:48:06. > :48:06.may seem, the referee was saying, you challenge for the ball but he
:48:07. > :48:16.still took the man. He has a gravity, goes for the ball
:48:17. > :48:23.initially but then misses him. The Osprey takes the ball and then takes
:48:24. > :48:37.the hands onto the Dragon player. He tips in. He has called it on the
:48:38. > :48:44.pitch, I think you could not argue with the yellow card there. He goes
:48:45. > :48:51.for the ball initially but then he misses the ball and then he plays
:48:52. > :48:55.again. Busy plane wilfully or contact with the ball? He went for
:48:56. > :49:01.the ball, missed it and many took the man. Are you suggesting this is
:49:02. > :49:10.a yellow card? I certainly would jest. -- yes. That's how it should
:49:11. > :49:25.work. That is the correct decision. This is a hugely contentious part of
:49:26. > :49:31.the game of course but the reality is, these sorts of clashes are more
:49:32. > :49:36.dangerous than a tackle. Even though you get in fair challenges, I think
:49:37. > :49:41.you have wingers or chases being told to delay their rivals they can
:49:42. > :49:44.leap higher harder and then you can have midair clashes that are going
:49:45. > :49:49.to be similar to this throughout the season. I don't think it is long
:49:50. > :49:55.before the IRB have to revisit this aspect of play. I thought the
:49:56. > :50:01.decision was spot-on. The decision was, the working between was then
:50:02. > :50:15.that is what it is therefore. It was snappy and clear, concise. Let's
:50:16. > :50:22.heal what Sean has to say. -- here. I was going to talk about what the
:50:23. > :50:25.Dragons have to do next and many to do, they need to get within one
:50:26. > :50:29.score and apply pressure through territory which they have not been
:50:30. > :50:36.gaining. They had the opportunity to do that and there will be space on

:50:41. > :50:43.opportunity to build enough pressure but now they have. They need to
:50:44. > :50:48.score next and build a school within the last ten minutes to get the
:50:49. > :50:58.winning score. Tyler Morgan is back by this feat that is the initial
:50:59. > :51:00.thing. They are going to go on post. They are going to try get back
:51:01. > :51:03.within seven points, that is the aim anyway. Let's hear what daddy Jane
:51:04. > :51:15.says. -- Davitt James. What the jargons
:51:16. > :51:19.are not doing is using the big ball-carriers like Andrew Coombs and
:51:20. > :51:25.Andy Powell to set interiors defenders. It is easy for the
:51:26. > :51:28.Ospreys at the moment with the umbrella defence. If the Dragons
:51:29. > :51:34.want to cause more problems than they have to be more streetwise and
:51:35. > :51:43.a bit smarter. A good strike there from Angus O'Brien and it is a bird.
:51:44. > :51:49.It gives the Dragons a losing bonus point and put them back in the frame
:51:50. > :51:55.within the score. It will set up a lovely close of the game. More drama
:51:56. > :52:04.left. What I will say, instinctively you're talking milli seconds and
:52:05. > :52:08.both of the men win the air. It is just an example I suppose of a
:52:09. > :52:16.player not being to see in the moment what he can and cannot do.
:52:17. > :52:20.The correct decision though. So, 14 man Osprey versus the Dragons who
:52:21. > :52:33.are back within a tribe, grandstand finish. -- a try.
:52:34. > :52:37.A chance for Dragons to clear the line. They have a throw in and they
:52:38. > :53:25.can build some territory from there. Richie Rees, Aled Brew was getting
:53:26. > :53:32.chased but it is too long. Nic Cudd with a tackle. Martin Roberts away.
:53:33. > :53:41.He won't get his hands on. Penalised for hanging on.
:53:42. > :54:11.That penalty counts could well hurts the Ospreys as it is, all penalties
:54:12. > :54:15.so far for the Dragons. I tell you what, talk about income and he is
:54:16. > :54:38.taking hits left, right, and centre. This one is the biggest test are by
:54:39. > :54:44.far. It is low and it is over. The Dragons are now back within a kick.
:54:45. > :54:50.The Ospreys will be feeling a funeral is jangling with just over
:54:51. > :54:53.five minutes to go. Of course everything was going so smoothly for
:54:54. > :54:59.them and they were winning possession, gaining territory and
:55:00. > :55:07.controlling the game. In the space of a few minutes it has all changed.
:55:08. > :55:12.With a man down and to point out. What a debut for the young
:55:13. > :55:16.outside-half. Four from four. He has given the Dragons a chance from
:55:17. > :55:20.stealing it. They need to get back down again and the Ospreys have two
:55:21. > :55:27.control of the second half. They are now fighting for their lives. But,
:55:28. > :55:35.they have turned it over. That is a poor decision. His winger was deep.
:55:36. > :55:41.There was space there but, time is of the essence. Don't cough up
:55:42. > :56:00.possession. Morgan Allen safely underneath it. A
:56:01. > :56:13.solid tackle by Taulupe Faletau. Martin Roberts to Dan Biggar.
:56:14. > :56:31.Owen Evans, charging his way back in. I Brien, looking for a toe poke.
:56:32. > :56:35.Bishop is back in cover. It is banged out of play as far downfield
:56:36. > :56:43.as he can go. It is still a good game from O Brien, a variety of
:56:44. > :56:49.kicks in his arsenal. He really belted that went down there. And
:56:50. > :56:57.they have now got the throw in as well.
:56:58. > :57:09.They have a decent return and as you say, it is so important that they
:57:10. > :57:13.have the throw as well. Andrew Coombs, that is what the Dragons
:57:14. > :57:17.want to see him doing. Andy Powell offers itself as well and looks to
:57:18. > :57:19.get within striking range for Angus O'Brien. No penalties right now for
:57:20. > :57:30.Ospreys. He did not look to see where he was
:57:31. > :57:32.throwing it there. Composure from Dan Biggar. It was not the time for
:57:33. > :57:48.fancy. It wasn't the time at all. Just saying how well is going, he
:57:49. > :57:56.hasn't looked. He senses him coming in but he puts the wing into traffic
:57:57. > :58:02.and a lot of white jerseys. Yes get the big guys in through the phases
:58:03. > :58:11.and creep up there. One penalty will do over the Dragons. Taulupe Faletau
:58:12. > :58:19.wins the line. He excites the crowd there. Richie Rees, Alan Amos. A
:58:20. > :58:28.really good pick-up of pace there from Alan Amos. A scrappy defence on
:58:29. > :58:36.the Ospreys. Richie Rees from Angus O'Brien. Jack Nixon, Dixon cuts back
:58:37. > :58:42.inside, inside the 22 now. Discipline is the key for Ospreys
:58:43. > :58:46.here. The jargons carry and keep possession and pound away at the
:58:47. > :58:52.Osprey defence. Owen Evans next in line, Combs and Powell in support. I
:58:53. > :58:58.Brien is thinking about a drop goal, he is dropped into the pocket.
:58:59. > :59:01.Forward once again. A brave corner from the outside-half and he is
:59:02. > :59:06.ready to go for it. Here it comes from Angus O'Brien he has struck its
:59:07. > :59:13.well but he has put it to the left of the post. Didn't he strike it
:59:14. > :59:18.well. And pressure, the number of Ospreys closing in on him. Just look
:59:19. > :59:22.at white jerseys. That is a real brave call from the 19-year-old
:59:23. > :59:27.outside-half. Setting himself up and struck it well. He just pulled it. I
:59:28. > :59:33.like it and I like the confidence and belief. He backed himself and
:59:34. > :59:39.stood up. Nearly Edger Matic win and glory. -- nearly a dramatic win and
:59:40. > :59:53.glory. Alan Jarvis slowly gets back to his
:59:54. > :00:00.feet. It is a heck of a call who was the man of the match are you? There
:00:01. > :00:07.have been definite performances. But, I'm going to give man of the
:00:08. > :00:12.match to, Eli Walker. It is great to see him back on the pitch and in
:00:13. > :00:17.open space flying. Of course, his trial was instrumental in getting
:00:18. > :00:19.the Ospreys underway. He is into three figures as far as his running
:00:20. > :00:35.yards are concerned. The final minute of the game and the
:00:36. > :00:38.Dragons are still here. The kick will win the game for them, I Brien
:00:39. > :00:45.they have to keep possession but they lost it. Surely, the Ospreys
:00:46. > :00:56.can now run down 35 seconds on the clock. But I'm sure to be is very
:00:57. > :01:01.slow set. Eli Walker may have ended up amongst the substitutes after his
:01:02. > :01:29.card but his trial was vital for the Ospreys in their 2-point lead.
:01:30. > :01:36.You are not holding it steady. Because the game is running on later
:01:37. > :01:49.the game is now running an past 20 past 11. If you are looking for that
:01:50. > :02:15.it is still being on and not scrapped. The scrum goes down. The
:02:16. > :02:19.Ospreys just run the ball off the park and that is all they need to
:02:20. > :02:23.do. Dan Biggar knows it for well and he banked it into the stand. The
:02:24. > :02:31.Ospreys have hung on in there and they have worked mighty hard for it.
:02:32. > :02:37.It is a second wind for the Ospreys and the second losing bonus point
:02:38. > :02:44.for the Dragons. The first Welsh derby has drama a plenty. This is as
:02:45. > :02:49.the Ospreys scrapped their way into a margin of victory of just two
:02:50. > :03:01.points. The comeback from the Dragons is not enough. Plenty of
:03:02. > :03:06.talking points. Plenty of big talk. The rugby that broke out was verily
:03:07. > :03:10.absorbing. It was a derby that had everything you expect and they had
:03:11. > :03:16.some good individual performances as well. I Brien nearly stalled it and
:03:17. > :03:20.it was nearly glory time for him but he seemed to have a turn there. A
:03:21. > :03:27.youngster that'll serve them well in years to come. Not the best in terms
:03:28. > :03:33.of classic open rugby but absorbing throughout. The Ospreys had the game
:03:34. > :03:38.to tries but for penalties for Angus O'Brien. It was fought back to the
:03:39. > :03:41.Dragons right to the death and his drop goal could have settled it but
:03:42. > :03:46.it went just wide and the Ospreys survived. They have come here today
:03:47. > :04:04.and beaten the Dragons by a 17-15. It was an absorbing clash, it July
:04:05. > :04:11.war the putting the Ospreys ahead. -- Eli Walker. It looked as though
:04:12. > :04:16.the Ospreys were coasting to victory but a yellow card for Eli Walker was
:04:17. > :04:21.declared and the jargons then had a chance to narrow the gap. Narrow it
:04:22. > :04:37.they did and this kick took them further. The Dragons are two points
:04:38. > :04:45.short of victory. They managed to maintain a majority just in terms of
:04:46. > :04:52.possession. Ultimately a good win for oath early good Ospreys side. I
:04:53. > :05:06.can't think they will leave here disappointed after being so
:05:07. > :05:11.dominant. Whether it was tiredness or discipline or whether they were
:05:12. > :05:15.creaking a bit, the Dragons are slowly coming back in the game. They
:05:16. > :05:21.are going to be disappointed, gone are the days of the excuses. They
:05:22. > :05:27.will be disappointed with that today. With the leadership of Alun
:05:28. > :05:36.Wyn Jones it was key for them. He kept the composure. That is how you
:05:37. > :05:45.win big derby matches like this. So too was Eli Walker and his with Phil
:05:46. > :05:54.now. Kenny presented Eli Walker with the man of the match award there. So
:05:55. > :06:00.good to see you back. How much confidence that give you. I have
:06:01. > :06:04.been itching to play for nearly a year now and it is good to be back
:06:05. > :06:17.on the pitch. A definite little bonus. What about the surface it was
:06:18. > :06:25.just right for you? I review enjoyed the pitch. It was good for
:06:26. > :06:30.fast-track. Just to put our minds at rest is no problem with injuries? No
:06:31. > :06:37.it is back in my mind now so it is fine. So looking ahead to get back
:06:38. > :06:40.in the squad? Yes definitely. First things first to play consists in
:06:41. > :06:48.rugby with the Ospreys. Whatever comes from that is a bonus. What was
:06:49. > :06:55.it like in the middle? We sometimes get under by teens in a derby,
:06:56. > :07:03.anything can happen. I'm delighted with the win and disappointed to go
:07:04. > :07:07.off at the end. I enjoyed it. I'm sure I speak for all rugby fans when
:07:08. > :07:15.say it is great to see you back? Thank you for saying that. He
:07:16. > :07:24.certainly is a crowd please. Yellow side applied, a cracking game. He is
:07:25. > :07:28.a genuine talent and he would have played against Ireland but he has
:07:29. > :07:37.gone through some turmoil. A testament to his character and the
:07:38. > :07:40.person he is. He has worked incredibly hard and he's desperate
:07:41. > :07:45.to get back. He will offer Wales something different, he has a
:07:46. > :08:06.slightly different mould to him. I think you'll be a wonderful weapon.
:08:07. > :08:12.It is great to see Eli back and he was my one to watch last week.
:08:13. > :08:17.People were fighting for the number nine role, it is good to see Rhys
:08:18. > :08:20.Webb on fire for the time he was on the pitch. They did not learn their
:08:21. > :08:28.lesson from last week and he was still dangerous. He is just biding
:08:29. > :08:33.his time around the two defenders and that he now has a physicality
:08:34. > :08:40.about him. John Evans the number nine is out of position. The
:08:41. > :08:45.defender is the first defender in the line and he should go straight
:08:46. > :08:48.up, he doesn't and he pushes out and Rhys Webb goes through. Whether
:08:49. > :08:57.Knight should be covering in the marketers should he is not there.
:08:58. > :09:00.That is also good for Wales. A disappointing looking dressing room
:09:01. > :09:05.there. Discussing the defeat with histories. The Dragons very nearly
:09:06. > :09:09.nicked at the end. We saw Angus O'Brien come on and played a pivotal
:09:10. > :09:15.role and he looked really sharp for a youngster. Very exuberant and very
:09:16. > :09:18.confident, a real ballplayer, maybe overexuberant. We saw him tried a
:09:19. > :09:28.miracle ball and then the long wage drop rock -- long range drop goal.
:09:29. > :09:33.Should he have done it? He is a great prospect for the Dragons.
:09:34. > :09:38.However, they should have built two more phases, that was the panic
:09:39. > :09:43.button rabbiting head. They should have won two more phases. The
:09:44. > :09:46.Ospreys were gunning for him but what I did like about him is that
:09:47. > :09:54.when he came onto the field he did control and start the play. What the
:09:55. > :10:00.jargons were lacking is the big ball-carriers. -- Dragons. They were
:10:01. > :10:04.not streetwise enough. The Ospreys were grateful for the end of the
:10:05. > :10:07.game really. The Dragons were coming back and they should never have been
:10:08. > :10:13.in the game from the last 20 minutes. A couple of other games
:10:14. > :10:22.going on as we complete. Ulster versus zebra and the score is 33-13.
:10:23. > :10:25.There was a dry at half-time and there is another. A comfortable
:10:26. > :10:43.victory for Ulster. Let's have a look at the other two fixtures. The
:10:44. > :10:46.difference in the two team, when the Ospreys got in front, they know how
:10:47. > :10:51.to win games and they have a culture of how to close down things. Yes
:10:52. > :10:55.they will be disappointed but they showed power play in the second half
:10:56. > :11:00.to kill off the Dragons. If we look at this from a line-out, the call
:11:01. > :11:03.has gone into it at the tail and the jargons when particular good at
:11:04. > :11:07.defending this. Look at this gain line. They are edging forward edging
:11:08. > :11:20.forward and not only is this taking the sting out of the Dragons defence
:11:21. > :11:22.but it is edging the territory and it is running down the clock as
:11:23. > :11:25.well. They are keeping possession and Scott Baldwin who has been
:11:26. > :11:27.unsung in the last two weeks is a great ball-carrier. Martin Roberts
:11:28. > :11:32.carried on with the likes of Duncan Jones. I thought experienced players
:11:33. > :11:35.like Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Biggar, really got stuck in. All of this
:11:36. > :11:41.rude to the stun out of the Dragons tale. It's maybe Ospreys win. Thank
:11:42. > :11:46.you Sean we are back in the jargons dressing room and they look
:11:47. > :11:54.crestfallen. They're disappointed about their defeat. -- the Dragons
:11:55. > :11:59.dressing room. So disappointed with a few referee decision so after
:12:00. > :12:04.being winless after two rounds, that'll hurt the Dragons. They have
:12:05. > :12:06.Glasgow coming here next week. Last season 's runners-up and it does not
:12:07. > :13:23.get any easier. We will see then. It's summer term!
:13:24. > :13:28.CHEERING ALL CHANT: Judas! Judas!
:13:29. > :13:34.I quit! You thought that Hitler's first name
:13:35. > :13:40.was Heil? Heil Hitler. Your hip-hop moves are about
:13:41. > :13:43.THIS far from a race crime.
