:00:21. > :00:31.In September, the slate was clean. Battle lines were drawn. Now after
:00:32. > :00:38.seven months of manoeuvring, of victories, of defeats, of
:00:39. > :00:43.stalemate... The end is nigh. This weekend those who'd would be King 's
:00:44. > :00:48.face-off in battle for supremacy. It is far from a two horse race. For
:00:49. > :01:00.those whose chance of Victor Riu had faded, pride and hope remains. --
:01:01. > :01:04.whose chance of victory had faded. The six Nations may have come to an
:01:05. > :01:08.end but there is no rest for the internationals. Sam Warburton,
:01:09. > :01:16.Gethin Jenkins, Lloyd Williams and Kevin James among those in for the
:01:17. > :01:23.Cardiff Blues today. Gareth Anscombe will be starting at fly-half. This
:01:24. > :01:30.may look like an encrusted rancher battle, don't be fought. The bonus
:01:31. > :02:03.point win both take the Blues about Edinburgh in seventh place and
:02:04. > :02:06.point win both take the Blues about premature. Realistically, they will
:02:07. > :02:10.have to win all of the games this season because the teams above them
:02:11. > :03:30.are strong. They have put themselves in a great position and gone
:03:31. > :03:33.are strong. They have put themselves is playing at four so he adds to the
:03:34. > :03:41.speed of the pack come along with the likes of Gethin Jenkins.
:03:42. > :03:49.Also the red squad -- Welsh squad for the championship. You know Danny
:03:50. > :03:53.Wilson well, Sean Holley. What has impressed you from the Blues?
:03:54. > :03:58.He bought me a copy today, that impressed me. He has been talking
:03:59. > :04:02.about the style he wants to see. They are expecting to play in the
:04:03. > :04:06.wider channels with Reese natural at 15. They need to be aware they don't
:04:07. > :04:14.concede from the driving more. They did against Munster and then an easy
:04:15. > :04:19.win against Glasgow. Why is Rhys Patchell at 15? He is a strong and
:04:20. > :04:25.fast man. You can see him in the channels, beating a Munster winger.
:04:26. > :04:31.There has been detail in the attack and Wilson. Developing quick ball,
:04:32. > :04:36.good ball presentation. A good miss pass and Dan Fish on the wing, he is
:04:37. > :04:42.so flat he brings up the fullback. A lot of space in behind. A chip into
:04:43. > :04:47.the back field and they were in to score. Look out for Rhys Patchell
:04:48. > :04:55.and Dan Fish. I expect a bonus point win tonight.
:04:56. > :05:01.Here we are, approaching the run-in. The Blues are still in with a chance
:05:02. > :05:06.of reaching the top six. Three open side tonight. If it an indication
:05:07. > :05:08.you are going for it will be five points?
:05:09. > :05:12.We have picked the team with combinations we thought was the best
:05:13. > :05:15.approach to play this opposition and that is basically to play a high
:05:16. > :05:21.tempo game that we haven't played well at home. We think it is the way
:05:22. > :05:25.to beat the opposition. Our first objective will be to get the win and
:05:26. > :05:30.if we can do that, get a bonus point.
:05:31. > :05:34.Can the Blues win the ninth home games this season and take a big
:05:35. > :05:40.step towards European qualification? We can find out now in the company
:05:41. > :05:45.of Martyn Williams, in the commentary box, and Gareth Charles.
:05:46. > :05:51.It isn't quite the Cardiff half marathon from Martyn Williams that
:05:52. > :05:58.he is on his way, as are Treviso. Led by Alberto Sgarbi. Treviso, who
:05:59. > :06:07.got the first victory of the season at the expense of the Blues and they
:06:08. > :06:13.have just one since then. Alberto De Marchi is the one uncapped member of
:06:14. > :06:22.the front row. Filo Paulo is in the second row. New Zealander Dean Budd
:06:23. > :06:26.is at number eight. Behind the scrum, Tommaso Iannone is at
:06:27. > :06:28.midfield. Jayden Hayward is the third highest points scorer in the
:06:29. > :06:42.Pro12 at the moment. Tom Palmer is an experienced English
:06:43. > :06:46.man. Speaking of experience, there is none more so in Welsh colours
:06:47. > :06:56.than the man who leads the Blues onto the field this evening, Gethin
:06:57. > :07:01.Jenkins. They may be down towards the foot of the table but recent
:07:02. > :07:07.results mean that elusive sixth spot and the possible place in Europe
:07:08. > :07:08.next season is still up for grabs as we really do reach the business end
:07:09. > :07:27.of the season. Returning internationals for the
:07:28. > :07:32.Blues including Gethin Jenkins, who is back as skipper. The other prop
:07:33. > :07:39.was very impressive for the under 20. Sam Warburton only has two
:07:40. > :07:43.outings for the Blues. Gareth Anscombe is at ten, seeing Rhys
:07:44. > :07:54.Patchell at 15. Scott Andrews, only one game for
:07:55. > :08:13.him. Some impressive youngsters. Andrew Brace, Cardiff born but
:08:14. > :08:18.Irish. He is the man in charge this evening. It has been a gorgeous day
:08:19. > :08:21.in the capital city with conditions absolutely perfect for running rugby
:08:22. > :08:32.and that is exactly what the Blues want to achieve. The first receipt
:08:33. > :08:39.for them. Dan Fish is on the wing this evening.
:08:40. > :08:46.Lloyd Williams is looking for the forwards to carry initially and the
:08:47. > :08:58.very first penalty comes within half a minute.
:08:59. > :09:06.Marco Lazzaroni not rolling away. Interesting to see Gareth Anscombe
:09:07. > :09:10.starting in the number ten shirt. Rhys Patchell going to the Scarlets
:09:11. > :09:18.next year, of course. The incumbent is the one getting in time. Can be
:09:19. > :09:20.very effective joining the line for the Blues. They will be looking for
:09:21. > :09:27.that this evening. Good evening. The Blues are full of
:09:28. > :09:31.confidence. A great win against Munster. An attacking outfit put
:09:32. > :09:36.together by Wilson tonight. They didn't get the line-out. An
:09:37. > :09:40.unexpected source of possession and a chance to attack for Treviso but
:09:41. > :09:47.not too interested in attacking. Alberto Sgarbi happy to get them
:09:48. > :09:52.downfield. It was a good steal. That is
:09:53. > :09:57.something you have to do right. We saw the Scarlets starting so well
:09:58. > :10:03.against Treviso with a couple of tries in the first 20 minutes.
:10:04. > :10:09.Something the Blues have got to do well, strong in the set piece.
:10:10. > :10:14.You have got to win your first phase possession. They have cut the line
:10:15. > :10:23.after losing the first one. Sam Warburton Bailey had to get off his
:10:24. > :10:35.feet to win it. -- barely. Lloyd Williams giving Tom James and only
:10:36. > :10:40.chase. -- and only chase. It is taken by Angelo Esposito. The same
:10:41. > :10:45.offence for the Blues. The key taken by Chris Smylie. Who has come from
:10:46. > :10:58.New Zealand to play his rugby in Italy. Filo Paulo, the scrum-half.
:10:59. > :11:07.Rey Lee-Lo with the wraparound tackle. There is Filo Paulo.
:11:08. > :11:15.The crowd thought there was something and toward going on but in
:11:16. > :11:22.fact, Ferrari has just stayed down after a big hit on him. Very upright
:11:23. > :11:25.running into it. Down to Dillon Lewis. We have seen his ball
:11:26. > :11:31.carrying capabilities with the Under 20s. With Dian Dacey, the link. Rhys
:11:32. > :11:36.Patchell on the outside. A solid tackle.
:11:37. > :11:41.That is the kind of thing the Blues wanted, was to give forwards the
:11:42. > :11:48.right channels. Interesting from Treviso. You would
:11:49. > :11:54.normally expect them to kick for the corner. A quick tap penalty and they
:11:55. > :11:57.are away. Scrappy game from the Blues in the line-out. They were
:11:58. > :12:01.lucky to win it when it went over the top when Sam Warburton wasn't
:12:02. > :12:09.expecting it and then a silly penalty given away, so... Difficult
:12:10. > :12:13.against Treviso, you go in with the expectation is that you are going to
:12:14. > :12:19.run them off the park and they can be a stubborn outfit. You need to do
:12:20. > :12:25.your basics right. Do your little jobs, the jobs that nobody else
:12:26. > :12:31.sees. Is that Jiffy in the rabbit outfit?
:12:32. > :12:41.Not now. Not now, that's what he's saying! Simone Ferrari is the one
:12:42. > :12:46.you saw in the tackle earlier. He ran straight into Josh Navidi and
:12:47. > :12:58.paid the price. The replacement is Filippo Filippetto. Very upright
:12:59. > :13:06.running, running straight into him. Luca Bigi, his fifth start in a row.
:13:07. > :13:07.Just distorting the communications out. -- sorting the communications
:13:08. > :13:34.out. Tom Palmer safely delivers.
:13:35. > :13:40.Controlling the drive. Good hang time on the kick from the smiley.
:13:41. > :13:47.Superbly taken by Tom James and kept infield. Very well done. Rhys
:13:48. > :13:54.Patchell. Dogleg defence, which Rhys Patchell attacks. Just about drug
:13:55. > :14:06.down in the end. Flicked out to Gareth Anscombe. Good work over the
:14:07. > :14:09.ball but driven off it. Good ball out to Sam Warburton. Gethin Jenkins
:14:10. > :14:14.trying to keep up with him. The bounce favours Jayden Hayward. What
:14:15. > :14:18.a comeback that would have been full Sam Warburton!
:14:19. > :14:26.I think he would run back and back again and keep the ball in hand.
:14:27. > :14:34.Brilliant off-load from Josh Turnbull. A good carry from Josh
:14:35. > :14:39.Turnbull and the off-load as well. This is where Sam has to be patient.
:14:40. > :14:45.He goes for the Hollywood chip and chase. Good cover.
:14:46. > :14:50.Gethin Jenkins will be telling him, I was the!
:14:51. > :14:54.There's no point. I just think Sam could have backed himself and
:14:55. > :15:04.stepped outside. Took the chase instead.
:15:05. > :15:11.A different Cardiff Blues. This is something they have improved so much
:15:12. > :15:16.this year. A good kick from Lloyd Williams.
:15:17. > :15:18.He tried to take it one-handed. A lovely little grubber kick from
:15:19. > :15:24.Lloyd Williams. Beautiful kick. Lloyd Williams timed
:15:25. > :15:30.it brilliantly. So often you see scrum-half take the ball and at a
:15:31. > :15:37.stop but it is difficult to attack from there. A brilliant weapon.
:15:38. > :15:41.Perfectly measured kick. Dan Fish couldn't take it but a very positive
:15:42. > :15:48.start from the Blues. Six inches up and it would have been
:15:49. > :15:53.into the basket for Dan Fish. Dillon Lewis was outstanding for Wales in
:15:54. > :15:57.the Under 20s. He was very close to getting the
:15:58. > :16:04.man-of-the-match. This will be another step up. Yes,
:16:05. > :16:13.it is up against Treviso, but... He is up against Alberto De Marchi,
:16:14. > :16:18.who has 29 caps for Italy. Interesting that Sam Warburton is
:16:19. > :16:23.packing down on the blindside. Jenkins is on the left-hand side,
:16:24. > :16:28.the open side. The suggestion they played left and right defensively
:16:29. > :16:31.tonight. He took that kick to the head at
:16:32. > :16:46.Twickenham. A great scrum from the Blues. And
:16:47. > :16:55.they have turned it. Lloyd Williams waiting. Good control from Navidi
:16:56. > :17:03.and it wins the penalty. It is a very impressive loose scrum.
:17:04. > :17:06.Lewis has passed his first test with flying colours. A superb scrum.
:17:07. > :17:17.They are going for the line. I think I would have taken the scrum
:17:18. > :17:26.there. The referee has got it in his mind they are on top. A great leg
:17:27. > :17:28.drive from Dillon Lewis, Kristian Dacey. That is an area they were
:17:29. > :17:36.concerned about with the lighter pack but a brilliant technique.
:17:37. > :17:43.Great take. By Josh Turnbull. Perfect position. Jenkins. All the
:17:44. > :17:47.way. The first try has come for the Blues. Simple as that for Ellis
:17:48. > :17:55.Jenkins. Great control all round for the Blues. It showed earlier on with
:17:56. > :18:01.the driving line-out, it is a weapon. Good patience. Good
:18:02. > :18:07.technique. I thought they might be in for obstruction. Treviso seemed
:18:08. > :18:11.to stop it initially, pulling down. Great work, great buy DVD in the
:18:12. > :18:21.front and then Ellis Jenkins sniffed the line and peeled off. -- great by
:18:22. > :18:25.DVD. They would be able to do that in the Pro12 next year. It is still
:18:26. > :18:29.legal at the moment and good work by Jenkins.
:18:30. > :18:32.So difficult to defend once you are so far back.
:18:33. > :18:36.Virtually impossible, five metres out. Quite ironic because you pick
:18:37. > :18:40.these players will be driving line-out and it gives you the first
:18:41. > :18:48.try. Gareth Anscombe is taking the place
:18:49. > :18:59.kicks. Rhys Patchell is the league leading point Storer on 169. Gareth
:19:00. > :19:01.Anscombe with two penalties. He now gets another two points to add to
:19:02. > :19:11.the season 's tally. A good start from the Blues. A bit
:19:12. > :19:13.scrappy early on with a couple of line-out but they have found their
:19:14. > :19:30.feet in the last five minutes. Before they can go for the restart,
:19:31. > :19:38.Simone Ferrari has been duly patched up and is back on.
:19:39. > :19:53.Filippo Filippetto was of use in those early scrums.
:19:54. > :20:09.Dillon Lewis with the tackle. Your own player has taken him down.
:20:10. > :20:37.Back inside. It is right there for Alberto
:20:38. > :20:43.Back inside. It is right there for over the ball tonight. The back row
:20:44. > :20:47.speaks for itself. Josh Turnbull is good at getting to the ball but also
:20:48. > :22:08.Kristian Dacey and Gethin Jenkins as well. Six out of the pack are very
:22:09. > :22:13.Kristian Dacey and Gethin Jenkins as really game for the Blues this
:22:14. > :22:19.season. -- has played a league game. The other two back in November.
:22:20. > :22:26.International duty and a couple of injuries. He played a lot last
:22:27. > :22:30.season for the Blues, more rugby then he played in all his career
:22:31. > :22:36.last year. People want to be at the forefront. Take the pressure off
:22:37. > :22:44.until the ball is in, otherwise you force me to make another decision
:22:45. > :22:49.now. In the last scrum, with Mr Ferrari
:22:50. > :22:53.back on. The scrum seemed a lot more solid for Treviso. Two good scrums
:22:54. > :23:19.from each team. I think it is the touch judge this
:23:20. > :23:32.site who called it. I think it was the arm. Three on the arm.
:23:33. > :23:38.On the blindside for the referee. We arm was held out by the other match
:23:39. > :23:47.officials. Lewis has just turned 20 and Simone Ferrari is just three
:23:48. > :23:58.days short of his birthday. Two young tight head.
:23:59. > :24:06.And old loose heads. Nice contrast. I am sure he is an Warren Gatland's
:24:07. > :24:09.radar. Amazing when you think Rob Evans and
:24:10. > :24:23.Samson Lee are both only 23 as well. A good strike by Jayden Hayward.
:24:24. > :24:31.Treviso have their first points of the evening. Jayden Hayward is a
:24:32. > :24:37.good player and every time we watch Treviso play, he is the standout
:24:38. > :24:43.player. He is a good kick at goal as well. The Blues will have to keep
:24:44. > :24:46.their discipline. They will be happy with how they started. They will
:24:47. > :24:52.open up play later on. Sam Davies and the gunman have
:24:53. > :24:59.scored more points than Jayden Hayward in the league this year.
:25:00. > :25:16.Alberto Sgarbi and then Luca Marco Barbini with the juggle.
:25:17. > :25:22.He has just kept possession. It was good work initially from Josh
:25:23. > :25:27.Turnbull, involved in the work and kicking loose. I think it is Josh
:25:28. > :25:37.Turnbull and Gethin Jenkins following up with the penalty in the
:25:38. > :25:39.contact area. A nice low tackle by Ellis Jenkins. Gethin Jenkins get
:25:40. > :25:54.over. So difficult in that position. A frustrated seven the whole of his
:25:55. > :25:58.life but he didn't quite have the body shape, and fortunately for
:25:59. > :26:32.Gethin Jenkins, so he has ended up in the front row.
:26:33. > :26:40.Gareth Anscombe wastes no time in cancelling out Jayden Hayward's
:26:41. > :26:45.penalty and the Blues 7-point advantage is restored.
:26:46. > :26:50.Always a little bit of extra pressure on you as well, if you have
:26:51. > :26:54.got to kick us in your team. Rhys Patchell will want to kick the goal
:26:55. > :26:55.kicks so it would have been an interesting conversation this week
:26:56. > :27:02.but so far it has been good. Again, Dan Fish is the one who is
:27:03. > :27:20.there to receive. Dan Fish has played all 17 games, 18
:27:21. > :27:28.today. Lovely out the back door by Alberto Sgarbi. Over the top. It
:27:29. > :27:30.didn't quite Ludovico Nitoglia. We have seen some good handling skills
:27:31. > :27:54.from both teams early on. Ludovico Nitoglia to Dean Budd.
:27:55. > :28:02.Outside him. Taking an Josh Navidi. Chris Smylie. A great off-load to
:28:03. > :28:10.Sam Christie. A long, floating past that wasn't taken.
:28:11. > :28:13.They do possess a threat. Jayden Hayward again, on the outside of
:28:14. > :28:19.Gethin Jenkins. Just that final pass, they can't get
:28:20. > :28:23.support runners there. Jayden Hayward has picked Gethin Jenkins
:28:24. > :28:30.and gone on the outside. A good support runner. Good scramble
:28:31. > :28:35.defence from the Blues but they do have some dangerous runners. You
:28:36. > :28:54.can't take your eyes off that man. Three New Zealand born players in
:28:55. > :28:59.the back. Halfbacks as well. Dean Budd upfront. Filo Paulo is born in
:29:00. > :29:12.New Zealand. They are not having it all their own
:29:13. > :29:19.way at the scrum anymore, the Blues. It passed by Rhys Patchell. Dan Fish
:29:20. > :29:25.is dragged down. An excellent cover tackle by Ludovico Nitoglia.
:29:26. > :29:31.A big advantage in the Blues. You can either choose to kick the ball.
:29:32. > :29:36.He thought he would give this to Dan Fish in the outside. And Ludovico
:29:37. > :29:43.Nitoglia is really quick and a great cover tackle.
:29:44. > :29:53.Dan Fish has had another good season. Four tries.
:29:54. > :29:57.Ball in hand he is a real threat. Probably needs to work on his game
:29:58. > :30:07.defensively. They do see him as a winger rather than a full-back.
:30:08. > :30:16.Sloppy loan out from Treviso. -- line-out. I think they have lifted
:30:17. > :30:21.the man into the line-up, which exaggerates the throne not being
:30:22. > :30:24.straight. An interesting call from Gethin Jenkins, going for the
:30:25. > :30:30.line-out rather than the scrum. It might indicate they are under
:30:31. > :30:35.pressure. Ferrari is back on. Well is executed -- well executed by
:30:36. > :30:52.Josh Turnbull. Dean Budd. Victoria waits, Chris Smylie just
:30:53. > :30:55.gives him an extra bit of shielding before Dan Fish can arrive.
:30:56. > :31:10.Ferrarini. He wanted to chase but it is too
:31:11. > :31:16.long, straight or Gareth Anscombe. Now to Rhys Patchell. Tries to go
:31:17. > :31:23.outside his man. This could be an overlap here. Rey Lee-Lo. Garyn
:31:24. > :31:30.Smith on his outside. Looking to see if he could get the pass back in but
:31:31. > :31:36.eventually forced out of play. Again, they work the numbers. They
:31:37. > :31:42.have a few times, when they go wide, Treviso are struggling. Goodspeed by
:31:43. > :31:46.Garyn Smith but nobody on the inside and good scramble defence. If the
:31:47. > :31:51.Blues are patient and go through the phases and keep the ball, Treviso,
:31:52. > :32:20.like most Italian sides, do lose their shape in defence.
:32:21. > :32:55.The Blues will look to attack the scrum. Treviso with the put-in.
:32:56. > :33:09.Hayward has stepped in at ten. Maybe Chris Smylie will want to get rid of
:33:10. > :33:16.this one himself. He needs to get a grip of this very quickly. There
:33:17. > :33:19.have been a few taking too much time to set. I still think we should stop
:33:20. > :33:26.the clock while they are in setting and restarting when the ball comes
:33:27. > :33:39.out. You are not in a great rush to get home tonight!
:33:40. > :33:49.Dean Budd, that was forward to Barbini. That was definitely
:33:50. > :33:56.forward, wasn't it? Outside the 22, so Chris Smylie could not go direct
:33:57. > :34:03.attach. Rhys Patchell looking for space on the far side. Across comes
:34:04. > :34:11.Hayward. The return kick. It is going to go dead. Hayward would have
:34:12. > :34:18.been hoping that the artificial pitch would have just held it up. It
:34:19. > :34:21.is always interesting for visiting teams to come down here and play on
:34:22. > :34:25.this page and try and get used to the bounce of the ball. Yes, you can
:34:26. > :34:29.see when it lands, it sticks sometimes, rather than a true
:34:30. > :34:34.bounce. It went straight up in the air that time. It takes some getting
:34:35. > :34:39.used to with your new play on these pages a couple of times a year.
:34:40. > :34:43.Interesting to see that Rhys Patchell is actually doing the drop
:34:44. > :34:56.out and Gareth Anscombe is taking the kicks at goal. Another decent
:34:57. > :34:59.return from Treviso. When you have a Munster book of from Rhys Patchell,
:35:00. > :35:06.it is not really matter. But is a great kick. Munster are in action
:35:07. > :35:13.tonight, racing off to a lead of two converted tries. Munster are one of
:35:14. > :35:18.the teams that the Blues are trying to chase down for that sixth place.
:35:19. > :35:25.They are currently in fifth, just above Glasgow. Glasgow have a game
:35:26. > :35:29.in hand. It is a little bit flat here at the moment. We need sending
:35:30. > :35:34.to spark, a little bit of inspiration from somebody on the
:35:35. > :35:37.park. Treviso are doing their job and frustrating the Blues at the
:35:38. > :35:45.minute. The Blues decided not to contest that line. Barbini again
:35:46. > :35:54.taking the flat ball. Dean Budd straight through the middle. Chris
:35:55. > :36:01.Smylie, to Filo Paulo. Good work by Sam Warburton but he is told to get
:36:02. > :36:05.off it then. Christine not going for the ball, the defence up so quickly
:36:06. > :36:25.in midfield. It is patient from Treviso. They are
:36:26. > :36:35.not making any great inroads into the Blues' defence. The Blues are
:36:36. > :36:41.getting feet in and slowing it down. Dean Budd, again well met Heidi
:36:42. > :36:47.Blues defence. And that is Josh Turnbull with the tackle, it has
:36:48. > :36:55.dislodged the ball. Kristian Dacey, Smith. Rey Lee-Lo was there, ready
:36:56. > :36:59.and waiting. Lloyd Williams, Gareth Anscombe. A good pass to Josh
:37:00. > :37:11.Turnbull. He rides the challenge of Dean Budd. Gareth Anscombe.
:37:12. > :37:22.Clean breaks are very hard to come by at the moment from either side.
:37:23. > :37:28.Rhys Patchell. It is Jenkins. Did get the early try for the Blues.
:37:29. > :37:33.Great break by Lloyd Williams. Just what the Blues needed. Tries to get
:37:34. > :37:38.it to Dan Fish and manages to do so. That is the sparkly team needed.
:37:39. > :37:43.They are flooding backwards in defence now, Treviso. They know the
:37:44. > :37:52.danger. Jenkins, Sam Warburton was waiting. It has slow down. They are
:37:53. > :37:56.back in position. Josh Navidi. Now it is the Blues' turn to be patient.
:37:57. > :38:06.There is Lloyd Williams who sparked it all without great break. Rhys
:38:07. > :38:10.Patchell, Gareth Anscombe. And killing the ball. Failing to roll
:38:11. > :38:17.away. Slowing it down. The Blues will be thinking, chances have been
:38:18. > :38:21.so few are far between, that is what they could have done it. A brilliant
:38:22. > :38:23.break with Lloyd Williams with nobody on his shoulder, similar to
:38:24. > :38:37.Sam Warburton earlier. It was a great pass to Dan Fish, who had to
:38:38. > :38:41.check. He is so dangerous, Lloyd Williams in these areas. Great pace
:38:42. > :38:42.but there is nobody within ten or 15 yards. It
:38:43. > :39:13.but there is nobody within ten or 15 Jenkins got the early try. And it is
:39:14. > :39:18.Ellis Jenkins again, poaching, he has been brought down this time. He
:39:19. > :39:23.was brought down by his own man then, from behind. Kristian Dacey.
:39:24. > :40:48.Round the corner. Driven back. early to make the game a little bit
:40:49. > :40:56.more settled. We have failed to do that so far. Treviso are really
:40:57. > :41:01.struggling in the line-out. Gareth Anscombe, to Dillon Lewis. Certainly
:41:02. > :41:14.looking forward more score before half-time. They are getting close
:41:15. > :41:27.now. On a few occasions. Tom James has the return ball. Manages to fend
:41:28. > :41:35.off Esposito. Sam Warburton. Good hit on Rhys Patchell. It was Filo
:41:36. > :41:48.Paulo. Dan Fish to Smith. James stands up is Manuel. Josh Navidi,
:41:49. > :41:54.Dillon Lewis. Treviso are having to put in a lot of tackles. It will
:41:55. > :41:57.take its toll by the end of the game. It is frustrating the Blues at
:41:58. > :42:09.the moment because they cannot get the second score. Dan Fish. Lloyd
:42:10. > :42:14.Williams, a little pop-up for Rey Lee-Lo. A different angle causing
:42:15. > :42:21.problems. Now there are men white again. Surely this time, Sam
:42:22. > :42:25.Warburton to Josh Navidi. Josh Navidi has just about got there. For
:42:26. > :42:31.a moment, the Blues thought they may have given up another chance but no,
:42:32. > :42:36.it is a try for Josh Navidi. Good patience and phases by the Blues.
:42:37. > :42:44.They were going to run out of numbers eventually, Treviso. A good
:42:45. > :42:49.carry from Rey Lee-Lo. Good hands and good finish from Josh Navidi.
:42:50. > :42:52.Whenever he plays at 806, he is a far better player when he plays in
:42:53. > :43:00.that addition, rather than seven. Not the tallest of players but so
:43:01. > :43:05.difficult to bring down. Strong, great, low centre of gravity. Very
:43:06. > :43:07.difficult to stop, good finish. Tom James would not have been happy if
:43:08. > :43:12.he did not finish, but finish he did. I think it was the right
:43:13. > :43:16.decision not to give it to Tom James because the covering defenders were
:43:17. > :43:21.coming across. He has backed himself and he has got over. He knows his
:43:22. > :43:24.way to the try line. But is the fifth in the league for Josh Navidi
:43:25. > :43:50.this season. Excellent strike from Gareth
:43:51. > :43:57.Anscombe. Converging from wide out. Does not cause any problems at all
:43:58. > :44:01.for him. -- conversion. Just six and a half minutes of the first half
:44:02. > :44:09.remaining. If you are honest, this scoreline slightly flatters the
:44:10. > :44:11.Blues. Treviso made a good fist of things early on but have not managed
:44:12. > :44:39.to get the points on the board. And still the crowd are fairly
:44:40. > :44:51.quiet, even though the Blues have their second. Yes, it is a little
:44:52. > :44:56.bit flat, isn't it? But quickly on Gethin Jenkins. Gareth Anscombe,
:44:57. > :45:10.trying to dance his way through. Lloyd Williams just falling forwards
:45:11. > :45:16.around to the blindside. Giving him the protection to get the kick in.
:45:17. > :45:41.It is missed by Esposito. That is Barbini, the blindside. I
:45:42. > :45:49.think he has rolled over his ankle. He is in a bit of trouble. They have
:45:50. > :45:55.got Abraham Steyn to come on. This will be a big call for the big
:45:56. > :46:03.ball-carrier, if they go over him. It looks as though they may well go
:46:04. > :46:11.forward the other day marquee. The youngster. They have gone with a 6-
:46:12. > :46:23.to split. Filo Paulo making his return to the
:46:24. > :46:39.Arms Park, spent three years here with the Blues. Played in four of
:46:40. > :46:43.Samoa 's games in the World Cup. He is nowhere near him, he has just
:46:44. > :46:46.rolled his ankle. Nowhere near him, he has gone to put his foot down and
:46:47. > :47:04.rolled it. The first try from Ellis Jenkins
:47:05. > :47:10.after eight minutes. From the driving line-out. And the wet sand
:47:11. > :47:19.the numbers proving too much in the yen for Josh Navidi. Adding a second
:47:20. > :47:24.just a couple of minutes ago. There is no way that Barbini is going to
:47:25. > :47:33.be able to carry on after turning his ankle so badly. The strapping is
:47:34. > :47:36.not going to allow him to take any further part in this game. De Marchi
:47:37. > :48:09.takes his place. Rey Lee-Lo, back to Lloyd Williams.
:48:10. > :48:18.Gareth Anscombe. The Blues try and generate some pace.
:48:19. > :48:30.It is the first time we have really seen them running onto the ball from
:48:31. > :48:43.death. It was the right option from Gareth Anscombe. The numbers were
:48:44. > :48:50.there in defence. He has got that. You could see that a mile off. Great
:48:51. > :48:55.work by Ellis Jenkins over the ball. They did the line-out correctly but
:48:56. > :49:00.then not enough support for Dean Budd that is what he is saying, was
:49:01. > :49:05.on his own, Jenkins was on him in a flash. Josh Navidi flew up with the
:49:06. > :49:12.hit and Ellis Jenkins straight over the ball. And the right decision. If
:49:13. > :49:17.they can get three tries in this first, it will set them up for that
:49:18. > :49:26.bonus point in the second. Back the driving line-out. It is something
:49:27. > :49:34.that Danny Wilson has turned into a weapon for the Blues this year.
:49:35. > :49:40.James Down, plenty of line-out options, they are using the maul.
:49:41. > :49:46.Here comes the drive again. It is good defence from Treviso. Lloyd
:49:47. > :49:49.Williams trying to rip the ball from Ellis Jenkins. He is caught up now
:49:50. > :49:55.in the middle of it. It is well defended. I think it was Lazzaroni
:49:56. > :50:00.and Filo Paulo, they just came through the middle and got a hand on
:50:01. > :50:05.the ball. Lloyd Williams could not get it away from the driving maul.
:50:06. > :50:26.Good defence from Treviso. I thought the Blues would get over.
:50:27. > :50:34.Well, Treviso will be happy to hear that half-time whistle. They have
:50:35. > :50:41.been under pressure for long periods. They certainly will not
:50:42. > :50:42.want to concede a third before getting back to the safety of the
:50:43. > :50:58.changing rooms. Dean Budd has to be careful not to
:50:59. > :51:01.get isolated again. And lost it again to Ellis Jenkins. But is real
:51:02. > :51:06.quick thinking from the Blues flanker. It has put them straight
:51:07. > :51:12.back under pressure. Dan Fish looks were Tom James on the outside. It
:51:13. > :51:19.bounces back into the hands of Garyn Smith instead. Manage to force them
:51:20. > :51:25.over the sideline though. And it is an extra bit of defending that
:51:26. > :51:28.Treviso have forced upon themselves. Brilliant work again from Ellis
:51:29. > :51:38.Jenkins. Dean Budd off the back of the scrum, makes the tackle. He we
:51:39. > :51:52.go, they are. -- they are off. Why didn't he play advantage? I am not
:51:53. > :51:58.quite sure. It was knocked on by green, but...
:51:59. > :52:03.REFEREE: If he uses that language again, he
:52:04. > :52:07.leaves the field. I do not need that ran with. It does not matter. OK,
:52:08. > :52:24.let's go. -- that language. And as we have seen all too clearly
:52:25. > :52:30.over the last few weeks, microphones pick up everything on the field,
:52:31. > :52:40.don't they? No comment on that one. Let's move on to the scrum. Last
:52:41. > :52:43.chance for the Blues as the clock goes red. Quickly taken by Lloyd
:52:44. > :52:49.Williams. Lovely inside ball by Gareth Anscombe. Tom James. It is
:52:50. > :52:56.now desperate defence to keep them out before half-time. The Blues are
:52:57. > :53:00.looking to get a third. The ball has been turned over, has it? Yes, it
:53:01. > :53:06.has. It has gone forward. Treviso just managed to hold on but the
:53:07. > :53:10.Blues have half the job done. Four tries as what they want for a bonus
:53:11. > :53:15.point and with half the game played, they do have two of them in the bag
:53:16. > :53:18.already. They have been close on a couple of other occasions but I
:53:19. > :53:26.think they will be fairly satisfied with the first 40. Job half done.
:53:27. > :53:32.The Blues lead at half-time, 17-3. Gareth Anscombe, you have a lead,
:53:33. > :53:38.how confident are you that you can't open them up in the second half? We
:53:39. > :53:44.might have to grind them down. They are spoiling a sad times in the
:53:45. > :53:51.line-out. We can open up in the second half. Happy with that Eddery
:53:52. > :53:58.right boot? It is nice to be doing the goal-kicking again. Have a good
:53:59. > :54:01.orange. The Blues made no secret of the fact they are after a four try
:54:02. > :54:04.bonus point out and they are half way there. Ellis Jenkins crossing
:54:05. > :54:08.after just eight minutes on the clock. One of three opensides
:54:09. > :54:18.playing in the back row for the Blues tonight. Gareth Anscombe
:54:19. > :54:22.goal-kicking again. He has not missed with the boot to night. The
:54:23. > :54:25.second try came from a bit of patience and a strong finish from
:54:26. > :54:32.another of the opensides playing in the back row, Josh Navidi. A quick
:54:33. > :54:37.look at those stats, Treviso making twice as many tackles as the Blues
:54:38. > :54:41.just about than they have missed ten of those as well. The Blues are
:54:42. > :54:46.breaking through the defensive line with a fair amount of regularity but
:54:47. > :54:50.just the two tries to show for it. But the lion's share of possession,
:54:51. > :54:56.more carries and more meat made as well. On most of the stats,
:54:57. > :55:01.Jonathan, the Blues are head. Martyn Williams suggesting the scoreline is
:55:02. > :55:05.flattering them a little bit at the moment but they are comfortable. I
:55:06. > :55:09.think they are dominant, as the stats has shown. You have to give
:55:10. > :55:13.Treviso some credit. They were very abrasive in defence and got stuck in
:55:14. > :55:17.but I think as the half has gone on, the Blues' attacking shape has
:55:18. > :55:21.improved and they have dominated possession and started to look
:55:22. > :55:25.really strong. You would expect them to cut open in the second half. You
:55:26. > :55:28.mentioned their attacking shape. They do seem when they have the ball
:55:29. > :55:36.in hand the more likely of the two sites score. We mentioned it at the
:55:37. > :55:40.start of the show, the intent to the pack that they have picked. They
:55:41. > :55:47.want to play. Sometimes, I think they are forcing it a bit too much.
:55:48. > :55:52.Sometimes you need to engage and be direct. Keep the defence honest. But
:55:53. > :55:56.I think they are the sort of thing is that Danny Wilson will be
:55:57. > :55:59.speaking about that half-time. They are forcing things a little bit and
:56:00. > :56:03.as Jonathan mentioned, they have scored two tries but another few
:56:04. > :56:08.have gone begging. They have. They had some early opportunities.
:56:09. > :56:12.Treviso are not going away. You have to take those opportunities and join
:56:13. > :56:16.a Baz 18. The first and was a Sam Warburton break. They have this
:56:17. > :56:20.shape and they burst through. The backline switch off and wait for the
:56:21. > :56:25.next phase. That is no good. You have to anticipate that one of your
:56:26. > :56:28.forwards could make a break. That was a chance gone begging. Nice play
:56:29. > :56:33.from Lloyd Williams. They take the more infield and it creates a large
:56:34. > :56:41.blindside. Dan Fish is hanging around behind Lloyd Williams. And
:56:42. > :56:46.they go for it. Great timing. He is too flat. Great right footed kick
:56:47. > :56:51.and the fullback has a lot to do. If this gets a bit more of a bounce or
:56:52. > :56:56.Dan Fish is a yard closer, it is a try. They were to opportunities that
:56:57. > :57:00.they did not take. We heard Danny Wilson 20 minutes in expressing his
:57:01. > :57:04.frustration that the Blues have not been able to impose the game than
:57:05. > :57:11.they wanted to one Treviso, betting Sir into a tighter game. -- getting
:57:12. > :57:16.sucked. If it gets better in the second half, more tries will come.
:57:17. > :57:19.You have to learn the right to go outside. I want to show you their
:57:20. > :57:47.basic attacking It was instrumental in the build-up
:57:48. > :57:58.then to create a mismatch and an overlap. I expect to see a little
:57:59. > :59:27.door more directness before they go wide in the second half. We talked
:59:28. > :59:33.gone to do that job. Interesting stuff. Briefly I want to talk about
:59:34. > :59:38.Rhys Patchell. He is playing 15 tonight and our fans can has come in
:59:39. > :59:48.and take attentional. Rhys Patchell is looking pretty good out there.
:59:49. > :59:51.He's just a good rugby player. I think the thing with Rhys Patchell
:59:52. > :59:56.and Gareth Anscombe, they have the ability of splitting the field and
:59:57. > :00:03.playing either side of the ruck. Rhys Patchell has such a good pass
:00:04. > :00:07.and such good speed. He's a top rugby player and he will really
:00:08. > :00:12.prominently in the second half. This is just the 1st of April 12 round
:00:13. > :00:16.matches this weekend. Plenty more coming your weekend, including the
:00:17. > :00:28.first of six Welsh derbies. The Pro12 is heating up. Six derbies
:00:29. > :00:34.coming your way, starting with the Ospreys versus the Scarlets. Catch
:00:35. > :00:40.it live tomorrow on radio Wales. On Sunday the Dragons take on
:00:41. > :00:47.Edinburgh. And on our show later that evening, we will round up the
:00:48. > :00:53.weekend action and meet Pembrokeshire's most famous Pharma.
:00:54. > :01:04.Basically where I grew up as a kid and spent all my summers.
:01:05. > :01:09.Rob Evans is the unanimous choice for loose head of the tournament.
:01:10. > :01:17.Row with tuning that Pembrokeshire boy. He mentioned the championship.
:01:18. > :01:22.Everyone will have an edge but perhaps the ones played next door to
:01:23. > :01:24.us when all four regions arrive on the same day will have extra spice
:01:25. > :02:01.as Judgment Day is coming up. One man who will be a very
:02:02. > :02:05.interested spectator on Judgment Day is the Wales head coach, Warren
:02:06. > :02:09.Gatland. He is an interested spectator tonight.
:02:10. > :02:14.Wait to see you. Six Welsh derbies coming up to finish the running to
:02:15. > :02:18.the season. How much of an incentive will there be for the players to get
:02:19. > :02:23.on the New Zealand tour? A huge incentive, not just for the
:02:24. > :02:27.derbies but also for the Ospreys and the Blues, still with the outside
:02:28. > :02:31.chance to qualify for Europe if they can get into the top six and it will
:02:32. > :02:33.be brilliant for Welsh rugby and hopefully the Scarlets can stay in
:02:34. > :02:38.the top four. Give us some names of players who
:02:39. > :02:47.you might be looking at, hoping you can put them in.
:02:48. > :02:50.A couple of those youngsters will hopefully get a run out for the
:02:51. > :02:56.regions over the next few weeks. Having a look tonight and seeing how
:02:57. > :03:00.Josh Turnbull is doing at second row and seeing we mix of the loose
:03:01. > :03:05.forward trio, Gareth Anscombe at ten and Lloyd Williams nine. The Blues
:03:06. > :03:11.have started pretty well it has been a good first half and hopefully they
:03:12. > :03:15.can score a couple more tries. The big West Wales derby tomorrow.
:03:16. > :03:19.How do you see that? And then the Dragons game on Sunday so I am
:03:20. > :03:23.really looking forward to tomorrow. Hopefully we will get a day like
:03:24. > :03:29.today where the conditions are brilliant and a good crowd turns up.
:03:30. > :03:32.Any truth in the rumour you are only going to the Ospreys against
:03:33. > :03:39.Scarlets game because you can't get a ticket for the Pontypridd game?
:03:40. > :03:44.It should be a great occasion. A real derby. Cheers.
:03:45. > :03:51.A couple of great derbies coming up tomorrow and talking about the
:03:52. > :03:54.Ospreys against the Scarlets now because it doesn't get any bigger
:03:55. > :03:58.when it comes to West Wales fixtures. Both very strong teams
:03:59. > :04:01.facing off against one another at the Liberty Stadium. The headline
:04:02. > :04:05.for the Ospreys side is the fact that Sam Davies has retained the
:04:06. > :04:13.number ten shirt, Dan Biggar will start on the bench. Freeze by --
:04:14. > :04:19.Rhys Webb is starting. No Alun Wyn Jones. Injured. Let's look at the
:04:20. > :04:22.Scarlets as well. Gareth Davies will start for them. An intriguing
:04:23. > :04:29.head-to-head against him and Rhys Webb. Jones, the end 20s fly-half,
:04:30. > :04:33.will start as well. Rob Evans starts again. Ken Owens in the back. Let's
:04:34. > :04:39.speak to Martyn Williams in the commentary box. The Scarlets trying
:04:40. > :04:42.to stay in the top four and the Ospreys desperate to get European
:04:43. > :04:46.qualification. How do you see it going? It is
:04:47. > :04:51.always a tasty affair with lots to play for. I think Warren Gatland
:04:52. > :04:55.touched upon it. Conditions tomorrow will be really important in how the
:04:56. > :05:00.game is played. Traditionally the Scarlets like to throw the ball
:05:01. > :05:03.about but I think Sam Davies and Rhys Webb, the Ospreys kicking game
:05:04. > :05:09.will edge its tomorrow. Can't wait to watch it tomorrow. The first of a
:05:10. > :05:12.lot of good derbies towards the end of the season.
:05:13. > :05:17.I can't wait. 40 more minutes against the Blues against Treviso to
:05:18. > :05:18.look forward to. About to kick off for the second half. Back to Gareth
:05:19. > :05:28.Charles. Thanks very much. Two tries in the
:05:29. > :05:31.bank for the Blues. Two more for a bonus point win and it will
:05:32. > :05:37.temporarily get them above the Ospreys and Edinburgh. Both of those
:05:38. > :05:39.teams in action in south Wales over the coming days. The Ospreys against
:05:40. > :05:46.the Scarlets and Dragons against Edinburgh.
:05:47. > :06:21.A well protected ball. James Down. The Blues are battering at the
:06:22. > :06:26.defence early and Dillon Lewis's disappointment is obvious,
:06:27. > :06:30.especially for himself. It was a great kick off from Rhys
:06:31. > :06:39.Patchell. We gathered it well. It was on the blindside. It was a poor
:06:40. > :06:47.pass. We will let him off for that one. It is good to see a prop
:06:48. > :06:57.actually passing. He has to work at it a little bit more.
:06:58. > :07:05.Ulster are ahead of Glasgow at the moment.
:07:06. > :07:14.The Ospreys and the Blues are looking at that sixth-place spot.
:07:15. > :07:18.Josh Turnbull has got through. Support is there from Smith. It
:07:19. > :07:27.reached him anyway. Josh Turnbull is the two receive the ball back.
:07:28. > :07:32.Gareth Anscombe to Dan Fish. Rey Lee-Lo, surely. Rey Lee-Lo. He makes
:07:33. > :07:36.it to the try line. Rey Lee-Lo gets his first league try in Blues
:07:37. > :07:49.colours and a very important score. He has hurt his wrist. It doesn't
:07:50. > :07:53.look good for Rey Lee-Lo but a good start to the second half for the
:07:54. > :07:58.Blues. A great bust by Josh Turnbull. Dan Fish hits the line. I
:07:59. > :08:04.don't normally like to see a list pass but it is important in defence
:08:05. > :08:09.against Treviso. A good finish from Rey Lee-Lo but he has called his
:08:10. > :08:13.wrist or his thumb and he has gone down. Hopefully it is not too
:08:14. > :08:14.serious. It all stems from the Josh Turnbull brake on the right-hand
:08:15. > :08:27.side. Rey Lee-Lo started the last dozen
:08:28. > :08:39.games for the Blues and he played for similar in the World Cup. --
:08:40. > :08:44.Sambora. The doctor has called from the sidelines but it looks as though
:08:45. > :08:49.it could be the end of the game for Rey Lee-Lo.
:08:50. > :08:50.Cory Allen is out for the Blues also, long term. Hopefully it won't
:08:51. > :09:04.be too serious. The first myth of the evening for
:09:05. > :09:08.Gareth Anscombe of the Blues, with that score early in the second half
:09:09. > :09:13.taking pressure off themselves. The good sign is that he has strapping.
:09:14. > :09:18.He is just getting on with it. Good finish. Woodwork from Dan Fish. You
:09:19. > :09:25.were about to criticise him for the most part but it worked out well
:09:26. > :09:28.because Treviso were chasing. Josh Turnbull and the right-hand side, a
:09:29. > :09:35.great bust and a great carry. It found itself to smooth and they kept
:09:36. > :09:39.the patience. A perfect start to the second half.
:09:40. > :09:49.Dan Fish has taken every restart that has come his way. Not sure of
:09:50. > :10:00.the wisdom of backs taking those. James. The down, Angelo Esposito.
:10:01. > :10:08.Tom James is not averse to a bit of contact. The Blues looked to have
:10:09. > :10:13.got the bit between their teeth in the second half, taking the game to
:10:14. > :10:23.Treviso. Out in the wide open channels as well.
:10:24. > :10:30.This could turn into a long second half for Treviso here.
:10:31. > :10:39.A little outside break by Dan Fish. Gareth Anscombe picks out Rhys
:10:40. > :10:47.Patchell. Down. Ray Lindo. And running by Rey Lee-Lo. He is inside
:10:48. > :10:56.the 22 in the time he is brought down by Marco Lazzaroni. Advantage
:10:57. > :11:00.is being played to the Blues. Gareth Anscombe blows himself and get the
:11:01. > :11:08.ball away to Josh Turnbull. Out to Lloyd Williams, to Rhys Patchell. He
:11:09. > :11:13.slots it to and incomes recover from Jayden Hayward.
:11:14. > :11:18.The referee is playing advantage. It is too easy for the Blues.
:11:19. > :11:22.Off-loading, passing before contact and Treviso have got no answer for
:11:23. > :11:26.it at the moment. They can't slow any ball down at the breakdown. The
:11:27. > :11:43.Blues having everything their own way at the moment.
:11:44. > :11:53.No wonder the Blues are going for the corner. They have really wrapped
:11:54. > :12:00.it up in the half a dozen minutes is half-time. -- since half-time. There
:12:01. > :12:04.was pressure in the first half but this is so much thicker in the
:12:05. > :12:09.second. Josh Turnbull struggling to get the ball back.
:12:10. > :12:16.Nor corn in the line. Tom Palmer with the challenge. Jonathan Thomas
:12:17. > :12:19.said at half-time, when Tom Palmer went up in the first half, he didn't
:12:20. > :12:28.get the ball. He has read the ball well and forced the turnover from
:12:29. > :12:39.Josh Turnbull. They have a slight breather for Treviso.
:12:40. > :12:52.42 caps for England, Tom Palmer. A lot of experience there, isn't
:12:53. > :12:57.the? He will be 37 on Sunday. He joined from Gloucester.
:12:58. > :12:59.It can't be easy when you are on the back foot every week like Treviso at
:13:00. > :13:17.that age. Dean Byrd was hoping for a penalty.
:13:18. > :13:25.We reset is all he has got for it. They seemed to have been a John.
:13:26. > :13:32.Luca Bigi, the Treviso hooker, has at first.
:13:33. > :13:56.That will be so frustrating for Treviso. They were harshly done by
:13:57. > :13:58.in the last scrum. They were going forward and he has penalised them
:13:59. > :14:24.straightaway for an early engage. You are pre-engaged on the Crouch.
:14:25. > :14:30.Josh Navidi is the recipient. They have gone through them all, I think.
:14:31. > :14:36.Kristian Dacey has got the ball in his clutches, looking to come round
:14:37. > :14:43.the blindside. Lloyd Williams. Lloyd Williams has a heart.
:14:44. > :14:53.Good tackle. It was a good tackle. It is still on. Rhys Patchell.
:14:54. > :15:01.Ludovico Nitoglia brings him down. Treviso defence being stretched all
:15:02. > :15:12.over. At the line-out, close to ruck and then wide-out. Turnbull. Jenkins
:15:13. > :15:15.was ready to run on but the ball is stuck so he feeds back inside to
:15:16. > :15:22.Dillon Lewis. Loses the ball in contact. Yet another penalty against
:15:23. > :15:25.Treviso. He has gone back to the penalty for
:15:26. > :15:34.the pulling down in the line-out five metres out. Pretty obvious what
:15:35. > :15:40.the Blues will do, going back to the corner and setting up the driving
:15:41. > :15:47.maul again. In the first ten minutes of the
:15:48. > :15:50.second half, 96% of the possession. Treviso are just hanging on and in
:15:51. > :15:55.fairness, they are making the tackles. Some good one-on-one
:15:56. > :16:21.tackles, one on Rhys Patchell and one on Lloyd Williams. A
:16:22. > :16:25.Smith. A lovely feed by Dillon Lewis. They really are varying the
:16:26. > :16:30.point of attack and the Blues trying to bring down this stubborn Treviso
:16:31. > :16:37.defence. Josh Turnbull with a good laid-back. Rhys Patchell trying to
:16:38. > :16:40.run an angle. Treviso are just not competing for
:16:41. > :18:08.the ball and it is time. Gethin Jenkins is driving his
:18:09. > :18:16.team onwards. Post to the touchline. They go back inside and go to the
:18:17. > :18:24.ground. Alberto De Marchi gets his hands on it but he is allowed this
:18:25. > :18:28.time. Knock forward. Treviso have done well, you have to
:18:29. > :18:33.give them credit. Digging in with snowball whatsoever for the first 12
:18:34. > :18:38.minutes of this half. They have defended four or five driving
:18:39. > :18:45.line-outs. Number five and number nine. Number two. Sean Holley, you
:18:46. > :18:54.have seen something. Let's go back to the try. It hasn't
:18:55. > :19:00.been a great few minutes but Filo Paulo and the others rush up and it
:19:01. > :19:05.is a zigzag, dogleg defence. Dan Fish does well. When you have a step
:19:06. > :19:09.like Ray Lindo, he is going to see the line and go for it. The Blues
:19:10. > :19:17.have to show some patience, build some pressure, get the line-out
:19:18. > :19:29.drive going and get this score. Changes for the visitors. Davide
:19:30. > :19:37.Giazzon. Alberto Lucchese with his ball in hand. Off the bench against
:19:38. > :20:06.Wales to win his second cap, the scrum-half.
:20:07. > :20:13.Again, aggressive scrimmaging by the Blues.
:20:14. > :20:27.A quick tap by Josh Navidi. He turns... No, just short. Lloyd
:20:28. > :20:33.Williams can't get his hands on the ball. Kristian Dacey gets the try
:20:34. > :20:41.that brings the Blues the bonus point. He kept hammering away. The
:20:42. > :20:45.line-out didn't work in the end. Kristian Dacey gets the bonus point
:20:46. > :20:49.try. It was bound to come with the
:20:50. > :20:55.pressure they have had in the first bit of the second half. A great
:20:56. > :20:59.scrum. One minute the other hand seems to be with Treviso but a great
:21:00. > :21:08.shove from the Blues. I thought Josh Navidi had got there in real-time
:21:09. > :21:15.but he was just short. Gethin Jenkins starts the front row battle
:21:16. > :21:17.with his friend. There is the bonus point. It has been all Blues in the
:21:18. > :21:27.first 15 minutes. The Pontypridd game is the biggest
:21:28. > :21:57.one of the weekend! This time it goes the other way and
:21:58. > :21:59.overcompensate. Conversions don't really matter in the grand scheme of
:22:00. > :22:09.things. The job is done. Four points. He has
:22:10. > :22:15.gone to Haider, Dean Budd. He has to go now. Kristian Dacey gets over.
:22:16. > :22:20.The Blues have been totally dominant. Probably a bit
:22:21. > :22:21.disappointed they haven't gone over the line earlier with the chances
:22:22. > :22:40.they have had. Cherif Traore is on the loose head.
:22:41. > :22:47.Again, Lloyd Williams with the run. Around the neck. Watch the neck
:22:48. > :23:19.area. Change for the Blues. Jarrad Hoeata
:23:20. > :23:24.is coming on. Jenkins is leaving. Josh Turnbull is back to six. A big
:23:25. > :23:29.game for Ellis Jenkins. Did well with some good carries. A couple of
:23:30. > :23:32.good turnovers in the tackle area. And he was in great form before that
:23:33. > :24:05.injury but he is back on song. Not a great first touch of the
:24:06. > :24:07.bench. Cherif Traore. It would carry but you have to take the ball with
:24:08. > :24:35.you. -- a good carry. They've got the points in the bag
:24:36. > :24:42.but now the Blues need to get tries. It could come in handy for what is a
:24:43. > :24:47.tight top of the table. You can't switch off. You are at
:24:48. > :24:51.home and you want to put Treviso to bed. You want to rack up some tries.
:24:52. > :25:08.Hopefully the game will open up. It is about how many matches you
:25:09. > :25:13.win, then points difference, then tries if teams end up on the same
:25:14. > :25:41.number of points. Eight arriving. It has worked for
:25:42. > :25:50.the Blues defensively. Josh Navidi with the turnover. Jenkins has got
:25:51. > :25:57.one, so has Josh Turnbull. Treviso don't have an answer to that tackle
:25:58. > :26:01.area. The defence has not been overly
:26:02. > :26:07.tested in the first hour. See what the thinking is now.
:26:08. > :26:11.Danny Wilson, with the bonus point in the bag, this is more like it?
:26:12. > :26:15.A frustrating first half but now we have the game going better in terms
:26:16. > :26:20.of the attacking tempo we want to play. A lot of pressure this half.
:26:21. > :26:25.It took us a long time to finish but the bonus point is there and we need
:26:26. > :26:29.to finish the game. Some changes? A couple of changes
:26:30. > :26:33.for the right reasons. To give us some impact hopefully. To tire out
:26:34. > :26:39.the opposition. Any chance you can bring Kristian
:26:40. > :26:40.Dacey off? I want to ask him about the Pontypridd game tomorrow.
:26:41. > :27:01.Cheers. Angelo Esposito making good headway.
:27:02. > :27:08.One of the best attacks from Treviso. All the way up there.
:27:09. > :27:20.Operated Archie. -- Alberto De Marchi. Ferrari. Ferrari looks a
:27:21. > :27:23.decent player. He has really scrummaged well and got around the
:27:24. > :27:30.park. The other prop holds onto it. Jayden
:27:31. > :27:37.Hayward. A dangerous path that Alberto Sgarbi is there.
:27:38. > :27:45.It has been slowed down by the Blues. The first time we have seen
:27:46. > :27:52.them Treviso's game this evening. Jayden Hayward to Dean Budd. They
:27:53. > :27:56.showed against the Scarlets that they don't give up.
:27:57. > :28:01.It has all come from a sloppy kick chase from the Blues, a
:28:02. > :28:06.counterattack. You didn't survive the clean-out.
:28:07. > :28:14.He wants to carry on with things, does Jayden Hayward. He could still
:28:15. > :28:19.get there. Right on the try line. The tackle from Kristian Dacey keeps
:28:20. > :28:27.him away. A long ball out and it is the flanker, Marco Lazzaroni, who
:28:28. > :28:30.gets the try from Treviso. Good perseverance. It comes from a
:28:31. > :28:35.sloppy kick chase which allowed them to counterattack, get into the Blues
:28:36. > :28:41.22. They kept their patience and won a penalty. Jayden Hayward kicked the
:28:42. > :28:47.penalty and the Blues run out of numbers. It is all about the top two
:28:48. > :28:51.inches, switching off thinking the job is done. A well-deserved try for
:28:52. > :29:13.that attack from Treviso. For once, he missed pass was needed.
:29:14. > :29:20.Plenty of space for Marco Lazzaroni. It all came from a sense of urgency
:29:21. > :29:28.from Jayden Hayward. Now there is a chance to convert.
:29:29. > :29:37.It didn't quite hold its line, just outside the post.
:29:38. > :29:44.The changes in the front row for the Blues. Munster making that
:29:45. > :29:49.absolutely clear. A bonus point for them as well against Zebre.
:29:50. > :29:56.Italian rugby is in a dark place at the moment. At club level, not just
:29:57. > :30:01.internationally. At the minutes, the Italians are bringing nothing to the
:30:02. > :30:05.party. A real shame. Those teams have gone backwards over two or
:30:06. > :30:10.three years. Dan Fish was taken out before he was
:30:11. > :30:17.anywhere near the ball. Munster just edging it at last go at the moment.
:30:18. > :30:22.A tough encounter. Not a good result for the Scarlets
:30:23. > :30:27.if Ulster win but a good result for the Blues and the Ospreys. They go.
:30:28. > :30:41.Just scored a try. There is just no need for it.
:30:42. > :30:48.Brainless. With Filo Paulo supporting him. Then
:30:49. > :30:52.he comes out and takes out Dan Fish, Davide Giazzon.
:30:53. > :31:04.And the referee was right in front of it.
:31:05. > :31:14.I think the Blues are just bored of driving line-outs. They have decided
:31:15. > :31:16.to take the three. I know I was stressing points difference but I
:31:17. > :31:22.did not quite have this in mind. It is three points to the Blues. It
:31:23. > :31:27.will help the points difference at the end of the day that they could
:31:28. > :31:31.do with tries as well. Four fixtures in the Premiership tomorrow. The big
:31:32. > :31:38.one tomorrow is the Gwent RB, Newport against Crosskeys.
:31:39. > :31:47.Pontypridd are playing Merthyr in the fourth round of the sway let up.
:31:48. > :31:58.Your brother has recently joined Merthyr. What do you think? I think
:31:59. > :32:02.it is a massive occasion. The cup, it is one of those games where you
:32:03. > :32:07.have a lower league team against a Premiership team, it is anyone's
:32:08. > :32:13.game. It is like a cup final really. What about to showcase valleys
:32:14. > :32:18.rugby? It is massive. It is the game everybody wants. And it is
:32:19. > :32:24.happening. I suppose it will be one of the biggest crowd Sardis Road has
:32:25. > :32:29.seen all year. It is a tough one for me. I am a Merthyr boy. But I have
:32:30. > :32:42.had some good times at Ponty. I am 50-50. Very firmly on the fence. May
:32:43. > :32:51.the best team win, that is all you can say. It is great. The cup is
:32:52. > :32:56.getting so much attention. It will be a great occasion tomorrow at
:32:57. > :33:03.Sardis Road. The referee will be very important in that one. And it
:33:04. > :33:10.is not just the players as well, it is Lee Jarvis and the chief going
:33:11. > :33:12.back there as well. A lovely pass to Josh Navidi but Rey Lee-Lo knocks it
:33:13. > :33:26.on. It cannot be too serious if he is
:33:27. > :33:33.still out there. Great hands. Great touch from Rhys Patchell. Just
:33:34. > :33:37.overran it a bit, Rey Lee-Lo. But you mentioned earlier, he is finding
:33:38. > :33:46.his feet. Sam Warburton is going off. Yes, he has blown away the
:33:47. > :33:52.cobwebs with just over an hour. And now Vosawai, formerly of Treviso is
:33:53. > :33:57.coming on. A change at scrum-half. The Blues will have their third
:33:58. > :34:11.captain of the evening. It was Lloyd Williams and now it is Matthew Rees.
:34:12. > :34:15.The Dragons against Edinburgh on S4C on Sunday afternoon to round off the
:34:16. > :34:20.weekend. And then the highlights of the whole weekend and a little luck
:34:21. > :34:33.at Rob Evans down on the farm, 7pm on Sunday.
:34:34. > :35:05.Josh Turnbull was refereeing that one.
:35:06. > :35:08.REFEREE: You have all just come on. When we
:35:09. > :35:15.crouch, we hold, keep the space, keep the ball and keep the Cherop
:35:16. > :36:43.until the ball is in. That is the message. Come on.
:36:44. > :36:52.Premiership team next year, that would make sense. A wealth of
:36:53. > :37:02.experience though. Pontypridd, Warriors, Scarlets, Blues.
:37:03. > :37:08.Good hands by Dillon Lewis. He managed to pick it up off the deck
:37:09. > :37:20.before Montauriol could get there. Vosawai. Gareth Anscombe. That was
:37:21. > :37:28.meant for Dan Fish. It would not sit up for him. Now it does for Hayward.
:37:29. > :37:33.Step back in to Josh Navidi in the end. Gareth Anscombe, he has it all
:37:34. > :37:45.to do himself and he may well do it. A great catch. Vosawai, did that
:37:46. > :37:51.reach or not? If he has finished that off, that was superb. If he has
:37:52. > :37:56.finished that, brilliant try. Firstly from Gareth Anscombe and if
:37:57. > :38:12.Vosawai has taken this and grounded it... Let's have a look. I think he
:38:13. > :38:22.has lost that. I think he has lost it.
:38:23. > :38:30.I think we need to see it in real time as well. Brilliant catch. I
:38:31. > :38:39.wish they would go back for the catch. I think he has lost it. The
:38:40. > :38:45.crowd have seen it on the big screen. So, so close. Bad would have
:38:46. > :38:51.been brilliant. It is a shame. Brilliant pace from Anscombe. I
:38:52. > :38:57.thought he could made it himself. He has thrown it inside. Great pace.
:38:58. > :39:07.Bounces back up. Great decision. That is brilliant on the run. That
:39:08. > :39:12.deserved a try. Vosawai was on halfway when Anscombe started it.
:39:13. > :39:23.Great support work. He is fresh, he has just come on. The applause for
:39:24. > :39:29.Dillon Lewis and Rey Lee-Lo, as they depart. Scott Andrews, now there is
:39:30. > :39:34.someone we have not seen much of this year. He has been playing a
:39:35. > :39:41.little bit at hooker for Cardiff in the Premiership. Good to see him
:39:42. > :39:46.back. Prop, second row, Hopper. He is a fantastic rugby player. Has not
:39:47. > :39:50.quite been able to nail down a spot at tight head. He is a very good
:39:51. > :40:29.rugby player in the loose. Jones once that call. -- want this
:40:30. > :40:32.fact is ball yet, in fairness, I think he did the initial clean-up of
:40:33. > :40:36.the second guy and has gone out and sealed. And that is the pressure
:40:37. > :40:40.with the back. I mentioned at the start of the game the the threat
:40:41. > :40:50.that the Blues have got in that the is really cause Treviso are other
:40:51. > :40:56.problems tonight. Vosawai got so close to a spectacular try. Now a
:40:57. > :41:03.far more conventional drive towards the try line. Over the try line. And
:41:04. > :41:09.this time, he does get his try. Yeah, not aspect Adler but I think
:41:10. > :41:16.that is a well worked try, great patience -- spectacular. Vosawai, an
:41:17. > :41:22.old and at an Treviso player. And they have thrown the Tao Lin now,
:41:23. > :41:30.Treviso, haven't they? They did not compete that time, they did not stay
:41:31. > :41:46.down and stop the drive. -- throwing the in now.
:41:47. > :42:16.They have rounded it off with one for Vosawai.
:42:17. > :42:26.Adds two more to his ever-growing total. It is Sam Warburton in a
:42:27. > :42:31.Blues jersey. How nice is it to be back in the Blues shirt? It is nice.
:42:32. > :42:34.To pick a couple of big Blues they and I was fine. It is great to be
:42:35. > :42:40.back on the pitch and by performing again. All of a sudden, the Blues
:42:41. > :42:45.could be in the mix for the top six. Our home form has been pretty good
:42:46. > :42:49.this season. And we are chasing the top six. The last two games, we have
:42:50. > :42:51.had bonus point wins and we have three massive derby is coming up,
:42:52. > :43:12.the and the Dragons. Josh Navidi carries like a number
:43:13. > :43:14.eight. We know what Gethin Jenkins can do, he fancies himself in the
:43:15. > :43:36.back row. The Blues bench getting a run out.
:43:37. > :43:42.Tom James. Thought he was going to be clean through for a second.
:43:43. > :43:54.Jarrad Hoeata. Switch to Scott Andrews. And he fancies a run. The
:43:55. > :43:58.feeling is that there is at least one more to come from the Blues. I
:43:59. > :44:04.was about to say that. I do not think they are done yet. Good pass
:44:05. > :44:11.from Rhys Patchell to Josh Turnbull. Manages to keep it alive.
:44:12. > :44:22.Evans. Pixel Rhys Patchell. Jarrad Hoeata, good hands to Dan Fish. You
:44:23. > :44:30.we go. It is on. It is Tom James account is over. The try six. To
:44:31. > :44:34.take the Blues over 40 points. Yeah, we said you decide that says they
:44:35. > :44:37.are going to be more. They should allow the line, Treviso have lost
:44:38. > :44:42.all shape. It is a great ball again from Rhys Patchell. He threw when
:44:43. > :44:46.the other side. Good ball by Jarrad Hoeata, take and give. Good decision
:44:47. > :44:52.by Dan Fish to go to the good man on the outside in Tom James. But
:44:53. > :45:09.dangerous with ball in hand all night. And good finish. With it is
:45:10. > :45:18.nice that on James. Not have the best 6-nations. A very strong and
:45:19. > :45:30.powerful winger. He has been in outstanding form the Blues Aurea. He
:45:31. > :45:39.adds the extras and the Blues are rampant. Still with evermore. One
:45:40. > :45:47.more, I think. Still with evermore. Gets ever extract the extra width on
:45:48. > :45:53.the ball. A couple of nice touches tonight. So they are attacking wise,
:45:54. > :45:58.there is stacks of talent on show for the Blues. I think they are the
:45:59. > :46:00.highest point scorers in the league apart from Connacht. Without the
:46:01. > :46:06.ball, they have struggled defensively. They are forced to be
:46:07. > :46:11.reckoned with because of all that attacking threat. Yes, second in
:46:12. > :46:21.terms of points and tries to Connacht. Treviso look for some
:46:22. > :46:49.scant crumbs of comfort. Lucchese loses it. Tom James with
:46:50. > :47:02.the early ball. He is hanging onto anything he can. Matthew Rees. Lewis
:47:03. > :47:11.Jones to Jarrod Evans. Rhys Patchell, again, looking to be the
:47:12. > :47:15.creative influence on the outside. Lewis Jones with the quick pick and
:47:16. > :47:23.go. Dan Fish is there with him. He is looking to go all the way and Dan
:47:24. > :47:29.Fish does go all the way. A great score and he has deserved it. Yes,
:47:30. > :47:33.he has. He has been electric with ball in hand. This is what always
:47:34. > :47:39.happens when Dan Fish has the ball in hand. Too much pace for a tired,
:47:40. > :47:49.tired Treviso defence. Good work by Lewis Jones, great portrait from Dan
:47:50. > :47:54.Fish. -- support play. That is his future, I think, on the wing.
:47:55. > :48:09.Matthew Morgan is predominantly a fullback next year at the Blues. He
:48:10. > :48:11.has plenty of pace. The white flag has come out from Treviso. They have
:48:12. > :48:29.just folded in the last ten minutes. He just pulls the conversion. So
:48:30. > :48:32.they stayed just shy of 50. Lewis Jones was asking for the penalty,
:48:33. > :48:44.tap and go, gives Italy. Backs himself against Hayward.
:48:45. > :48:50.Well, as Treviso take their time, they do not want to play any more.
:48:51. > :48:53.Man of the match? Quite a few have stepped their hand up. Dandridge,
:48:54. > :49:00.Rhys Patchell has done brilliantly again at 15, Josh Navidi as ever --
:49:01. > :49:02.Dan Fish. But that man right on cue, playing out of position, Josh
:49:03. > :49:08.Turnbull for me has done all the hard graft early on, line-out balls,
:49:09. > :49:12.brilliant carries, big hits, Josh Turnbull for me is the man of the
:49:13. > :49:20.match. A lovely little show and go by Evans. Back inside to Rhys
:49:21. > :49:29.Patchell. And that is try number eight for the Blues. And that does
:49:30. > :49:34.take them over 50 points. Brilliant. Treviso not the best of opposition
:49:35. > :49:37.but they have still got to executed and the Blues have done that.
:49:38. > :49:41.Exactly. They have tried to do that all night. Great play by Jarrod
:49:42. > :49:45.Evans. The little show one goal. Some health 40 was gone to pin his
:49:46. > :49:48.years back. A great ball back inside. Rhys Patchell has looked
:49:49. > :49:56.dangerous at 15 and a really well worked try from the Blues. Brilliant
:49:57. > :49:59.play by Jarrod Evans. Too smart. Too quick and it is not dying with ball
:50:00. > :50:04.in hand, it is the floor just before contact. And we said Dan Fish
:50:05. > :50:12.deserved his try, but Rhys Patchell does as well. He has been superb at
:50:13. > :50:23.15. I wonder how slow Treviso will walk to this kick-off.
:50:24. > :50:29.Two more points for Jarrod Evans, two more points for the Blues. Two
:50:30. > :50:42.seconds means they will have to play one more. They could get to 60. They
:50:43. > :50:45.do not want to kick-off. Those two in short, either one of those could
:50:46. > :50:50.have had man of the match tonight. Big performances.
:50:51. > :50:55.There are tougher games ahead for the Blues that began going to them
:50:56. > :51:00.on the back of two really good wins against Munster and Treviso. And
:51:01. > :51:23.they are a dangerous, dangerous team at the minute.
:51:24. > :51:39.Are fingering riper Treviso. -- nothing going right the Treviso.
:51:40. > :51:46.Eight tries and 56 points will do. It is a second consecutive bonus
:51:47. > :51:50.point win for the Blues. And they still have their eyes set on that
:51:51. > :51:58.sixth place. People will say it's only Treviso. But that is the kind
:51:59. > :52:02.of scoreline you should see, and that even on the beat what is in
:52:03. > :52:06.front of you. They opened up in the Shetland have and showed some great
:52:07. > :52:10.skills with ball in hand. And they are on the hunt for that top six.
:52:11. > :52:17.Six second half tries the the Blues as they eventually run rampant and
:52:18. > :52:25.Ava drag old Treviso side had no answers in the end. Another clear
:52:26. > :52:35.win, another bonus point win Treviso put to the sword by 56-8.
:52:36. > :52:39.Congratulations. How did you enjoy the second row? It is a little bit
:52:40. > :52:44.tougher than playing in the back row. It hurts on the legs and the
:52:45. > :52:50.lungs. What did it feel like playing in front of three opensides in the
:52:51. > :52:55.back? Their work in the contact area is phenomenal. You know what to
:52:56. > :52:56.expect from them and especially in the contact area, it gives as good
:52:57. > :53:05.go forward ball. Bonus point wins, the contact area, it gives as good
:53:06. > :53:06.people will say it is just Treviso at home, with the greatest of
:53:07. > :53:29.respect but we feel the at home, with the greatest of
:53:30. > :53:39.to work towards that top six. Well done. Thank you very much. So, the
:53:40. > :53:44.Blues overwhelmed Treviso in that second half. Six tries to go with
:53:45. > :53:48.the two in the first half and it really was something of a rock.
:53:49. > :53:51.Kristian Dacey crashing over from close range. Vosawai nearly crossing
:53:52. > :55:22.for what could have close range. Vosawai nearly crossing
:55:23. > :55:25.Blues had a lot of possession. In the second half, they were dominant,
:55:26. > :55:28.they were clinical, and when you play the game at that speed and
:55:29. > :55:31.puppies, it really ties the opposition out and that you could
:55:32. > :55:35.tell from the two or three tries scored at the end, but the
:55:36. > :55:39.interesting things were thing is that the Blues scored 56 points but
:55:40. > :55:42.they left for five tries out there as well. It is worrying what the
:55:43. > :55:49.score could have been if they had been a little more clinical. We can
:55:50. > :55:53.now speak to Danny Wilson. Yes, he is smiling. A great performance.
:55:54. > :55:58.That is just about what you wanted. Yes, the second half, we definitely
:55:59. > :56:01.upped our game in terms of attacking shape and our ability to cause
:56:02. > :56:10.problems with the high tempo rugby that we play on this page. They have
:56:11. > :56:15.performed really well. No injuries. That is the important thing, like
:56:16. > :56:18.you said. Produce one day, we jump above the Ospreys in the table and
:56:19. > :56:31.get ourselves the opportunity to start loosening.
:56:32. > :56:38.Our ourselves in a position where viruses on the boughs, to get back
:56:39. > :56:40.to where we are now, knowing a number of all games come out, we
:56:41. > :56:46.have won those games, Ulster Munster, tonight, couple of bonus
:56:47. > :56:49.point wins, gives as an opportunity on this service, we have to improve
:56:50. > :56:54.our home record but we are getting there. Well done and improve the
:56:55. > :56:56.derbies. They have gone ahead of the Ospreys and listening Blues fans
:56:57. > :57:02.will be celibate into my. Let's bring in Sean Holley. We have spoken
:57:03. > :57:08.with our server to the Blues wraps were trying to start to hide in the
:57:09. > :57:11.second half. They ran Julie is a ragged. They have got a style of
:57:12. > :57:14.play. They have got a style of play. Visual to conference and the end.
:57:15. > :57:25.The batch editing about as well. It is a positive light of the Michael
:57:26. > :57:28.Blues. We felt that Josh Navidi got over that on the second effort, it
:57:29. > :57:33.was good because the chorizo winger, round on the openside. And Gethin
:57:34. > :57:38.Jenkins last on to Christian Davies to power over. It is a good try is a
:57:39. > :57:42.leading dry year. A decoy midfielder look how deeply part shall Jarrad
:57:43. > :57:47.Hoeata and Dan Fish are on the outside. It is crucial because
:57:48. > :57:50.Treviso spot up in defence on the outside. Good tracking from Tom
:57:51. > :57:54.James. But there was a very good try, controlled pulling back foot
:57:55. > :57:58.speed. Lewis Jones added the impact but Dan Fish read this all the way.
:57:59. > :58:04.And showed great gas to be the very quick Hayward on the outside. It was
:58:05. > :58:07.a great second half and Danny Wilson will enjoy his beer tonight. He
:58:08. > :58:12.certainly will. Josh Turnbull is the official man of the match that there
:58:13. > :58:16.were several candidates. We... How'd Rhys Patchell is going out of
:58:17. > :58:20.position at fullback but it was a mature performance from him. He was
:58:21. > :58:24.excellent. I see you underestimate his pace. Because he has quite a
:58:25. > :58:29.long stride and he's a bit of a rangy runner, as you can see here,
:58:30. > :58:33.he runs really good support lines as well. We mentioned at half-time, he
:58:34. > :58:37.is an all-around good rugby player. He stays in support and he fully
:58:38. > :58:42.deserves that try. He could have easily been man of the match tonight
:58:43. > :58:48.as well. We do not have a great deal of time left. The Italians are a
:58:49. > :58:52.pretty dark. A Wooden Spoon in the Six Nations. Zebre beaten heavily at
:58:53. > :58:59.Munster tonight. We have seen Treviso capitulate in the second
:59:00. > :59:01.half. As a fan, which I am now, it is re-disappointing. I think the
:59:02. > :59:06.thing that frustrates me about Italian rugby is we are still
:59:07. > :59:10.talking about a lack of fitness in the second half. For me, that is
:59:11. > :59:14.unforgivable. In the modern professional age, the two things
:59:15. > :59:18.that you can improve pretty quickly is fitness and defence. They have
:59:19. > :59:23.missed sort of 37 not tackles in the game and their fitness every game,
:59:24. > :59:35.the last 20 minutes, they always die. That is inescapable. --
:59:36. > :59:42.inexcusable. To still be lacking in fitness and to be missing 30 tackles
:59:43. > :59:47.is just almost like a pub team. It is unforgivable. Kristian Dacey sat
:59:48. > :59:59.on the fence with the Murphy Pontypridd Derby. URA Bamberg should
:00:00. > :00:00.die. It is a closer study for a long time that the key fact that Alun Wyn
:00:01. > :00:13.Jones tips are congratulations to the
:00:14. > :01:35.Blues. They got a sneaking wraps to European convocations on Sunday.
:01:36. > :01:43.This is the one opportunity that I have to show them something
:01:44. > :01:47.ALL: Oooh! Mm-hm.
