LineFromTo

In September, the slate was clean. Battle lines were drawn. Now after

:00:21.:00:31.

seven months of manoeuvring, of victories, of defeats, of

:00:32.:00:38.

stalemate... The end is nigh. This weekend those who'd would be King 's

:00:39.:00:43.

face-off in battle for supremacy. It is far from a two horse race. For

:00:44.:00:48.

those whose chance of Victor Riu had faded, pride and hope remains. --

:00:49.:01:00.

whose chance of victory had faded. The six Nations may have come to an

:01:01.:01:04.

end but there is no rest for the internationals. Sam Warburton,

:01:05.:01:08.

Gethin Jenkins, Lloyd Williams and Kevin James among those in for the

:01:09.:01:16.

Cardiff Blues today. Gareth Anscombe will be starting at fly-half. This

:01:17.:01:23.

may look like an encrusted rancher battle, don't be fought. The bonus

:01:24.:01:30.

point win both take the Blues about Edinburgh in seventh place and

:01:31.:02:03.

point win both take the Blues about premature. Realistically, they will

:02:04.:02:06.

have to win all of the games this season because the teams above them

:02:07.:02:10.

are strong. They have put themselves in a great position and gone

:02:11.:03:30.

are strong. They have put themselves is playing at four so he adds to the

:03:31.:03:33.

speed of the pack come along with the likes of Gethin Jenkins.

:03:34.:03:41.

Also the red squad -- Welsh squad for the championship. You know Danny

:03:42.:03:49.

Wilson well, Sean Holley. What has impressed you from the Blues?

:03:50.:03:53.

He bought me a copy today, that impressed me. He has been talking

:03:54.:03:58.

about the style he wants to see. They are expecting to play in the

:03:59.:04:02.

wider channels with Reese natural at 15. They need to be aware they don't

:04:03.:04:06.

concede from the driving more. They did against Munster and then an easy

:04:07.:04:14.

win against Glasgow. Why is Rhys Patchell at 15? He is a strong and

:04:15.:04:19.

fast man. You can see him in the channels, beating a Munster winger.

:04:20.:04:25.

There has been detail in the attack and Wilson. Developing quick ball,

:04:26.:04:31.

good ball presentation. A good miss pass and Dan Fish on the wing, he is

:04:32.:04:36.

so flat he brings up the fullback. A lot of space in behind. A chip into

:04:37.:04:42.

the back field and they were in to score. Look out for Rhys Patchell

:04:43.:04:47.

and Dan Fish. I expect a bonus point win tonight.

:04:48.:04:55.

Here we are, approaching the run-in. The Blues are still in with a chance

:04:56.:05:01.

of reaching the top six. Three open side tonight. If it an indication

:05:02.:05:06.

you are going for it will be five points?

:05:07.:05:08.

We have picked the team with combinations we thought was the best

:05:09.:05:12.

approach to play this opposition and that is basically to play a high

:05:13.:05:15.

tempo game that we haven't played well at home. We think it is the way

:05:16.:05:21.

to beat the opposition. Our first objective will be to get the win and

:05:22.:05:25.

if we can do that, get a bonus point.

:05:26.:05:30.

Can the Blues win the ninth home games this season and take a big

:05:31.:05:34.

step towards European qualification? We can find out now in the company

:05:35.:05:40.

of Martyn Williams, in the commentary box, and Gareth Charles.

:05:41.:05:45.

It isn't quite the Cardiff half marathon from Martyn Williams that

:05:46.:05:51.

he is on his way, as are Treviso. Led by Alberto Sgarbi. Treviso, who

:05:52.:05:58.

got the first victory of the season at the expense of the Blues and they

:05:59.:06:07.

have just one since then. Alberto De Marchi is the one uncapped member of

:06:08.:06:13.

the front row. Filo Paulo is in the second row. New Zealander Dean Budd

:06:14.:06:22.

is at number eight. Behind the scrum, Tommaso Iannone is at

:06:23.:06:26.

midfield. Jayden Hayward is the third highest points scorer in the

:06:27.:06:28.

Pro12 at the moment. Tom Palmer is an experienced English

:06:29.:06:42.

man. Speaking of experience, there is none more so in Welsh colours

:06:43.:06:46.

than the man who leads the Blues onto the field this evening, Gethin

:06:47.:06:56.

Jenkins. They may be down towards the foot of the table but recent

:06:57.:07:01.

results mean that elusive sixth spot and the possible place in Europe

:07:02.:07:07.

next season is still up for grabs as we really do reach the business end

:07:08.:07:08.

of the season. Returning internationals for the

:07:09.:07:27.

Blues including Gethin Jenkins, who is back as skipper. The other prop

:07:28.:07:32.

was very impressive for the under 20. Sam Warburton only has two

:07:33.:07:39.

outings for the Blues. Gareth Anscombe is at ten, seeing Rhys

:07:40.:07:43.

Patchell at 15. Scott Andrews, only one game for

:07:44.:07:54.

him. Some impressive youngsters. Andrew Brace, Cardiff born but

:07:55.:08:13.

Irish. He is the man in charge this evening. It has been a gorgeous day

:08:14.:08:18.

in the capital city with conditions absolutely perfect for running rugby

:08:19.:08:21.

and that is exactly what the Blues want to achieve. The first receipt

:08:22.:08:32.

for them. Dan Fish is on the wing this evening.

:08:33.:08:39.

Lloyd Williams is looking for the forwards to carry initially and the

:08:40.:08:46.

very first penalty comes within half a minute.

:08:47.:08:58.

Marco Lazzaroni not rolling away. Interesting to see Gareth Anscombe

:08:59.:09:06.

starting in the number ten shirt. Rhys Patchell going to the Scarlets

:09:07.:09:10.

next year, of course. The incumbent is the one getting in time. Can be

:09:11.:09:18.

very effective joining the line for the Blues. They will be looking for

:09:19.:09:20.

that this evening. Good evening. The Blues are full of

:09:21.:09:27.

confidence. A great win against Munster. An attacking outfit put

:09:28.:09:31.

together by Wilson tonight. They didn't get the line-out. An

:09:32.:09:36.

unexpected source of possession and a chance to attack for Treviso but

:09:37.:09:40.

not too interested in attacking. Alberto Sgarbi happy to get them

:09:41.:09:47.

downfield. It was a good steal. That is

:09:48.:09:52.

something you have to do right. We saw the Scarlets starting so well

:09:53.:09:57.

against Treviso with a couple of tries in the first 20 minutes.

:09:58.:10:03.

Something the Blues have got to do well, strong in the set piece.

:10:04.:10:09.

You have got to win your first phase possession. They have cut the line

:10:10.:10:14.

after losing the first one. Sam Warburton Bailey had to get off his

:10:15.:10:23.

feet to win it. -- barely. Lloyd Williams giving Tom James and only

:10:24.:10:35.

chase. -- and only chase. It is taken by Angelo Esposito. The same

:10:36.:10:40.

offence for the Blues. The key taken by Chris Smylie. Who has come from

:10:41.:10:45.

New Zealand to play his rugby in Italy. Filo Paulo, the scrum-half.

:10:46.:10:58.

Rey Lee-Lo with the wraparound tackle. There is Filo Paulo.

:10:59.:11:07.

The crowd thought there was something and toward going on but in

:11:08.:11:15.

fact, Ferrari has just stayed down after a big hit on him. Very upright

:11:16.:11:22.

running into it. Down to Dillon Lewis. We have seen his ball

:11:23.:11:25.

carrying capabilities with the Under 20s. With Dian Dacey, the link. Rhys

:11:26.:11:31.

Patchell on the outside. A solid tackle.

:11:32.:11:36.

That is the kind of thing the Blues wanted, was to give forwards the

:11:37.:11:41.

right channels. Interesting from Treviso. You would

:11:42.:11:48.

normally expect them to kick for the corner. A quick tap penalty and they

:11:49.:11:54.

are away. Scrappy game from the Blues in the line-out. They were

:11:55.:11:57.

lucky to win it when it went over the top when Sam Warburton wasn't

:11:58.:12:01.

expecting it and then a silly penalty given away, so... Difficult

:12:02.:12:09.

against Treviso, you go in with the expectation is that you are going to

:12:10.:12:13.

run them off the park and they can be a stubborn outfit. You need to do

:12:14.:12:19.

your basics right. Do your little jobs, the jobs that nobody else

:12:20.:12:25.

sees. Is that Jiffy in the rabbit outfit?

:12:26.:12:31.

Not now. Not now, that's what he's saying! Simone Ferrari is the one

:12:32.:12:41.

you saw in the tackle earlier. He ran straight into Josh Navidi and

:12:42.:12:46.

paid the price. The replacement is Filippo Filippetto. Very upright

:12:47.:12:58.

running, running straight into him. Luca Bigi, his fifth start in a row.

:12:59.:13:06.

Just distorting the communications out. -- sorting the communications

:13:07.:13:07.

out. Tom Palmer safely delivers.

:13:08.:13:34.

Controlling the drive. Good hang time on the kick from the smiley.

:13:35.:13:40.

Superbly taken by Tom James and kept infield. Very well done. Rhys

:13:41.:13:47.

Patchell. Dogleg defence, which Rhys Patchell attacks. Just about drug

:13:48.:13:54.

down in the end. Flicked out to Gareth Anscombe. Good work over the

:13:55.:14:06.

ball but driven off it. Good ball out to Sam Warburton. Gethin Jenkins

:14:07.:14:09.

trying to keep up with him. The bounce favours Jayden Hayward. What

:14:10.:14:14.

a comeback that would have been full Sam Warburton!

:14:15.:14:18.

I think he would run back and back again and keep the ball in hand.

:14:19.:14:26.

Brilliant off-load from Josh Turnbull. A good carry from Josh

:14:27.:14:34.

Turnbull and the off-load as well. This is where Sam has to be patient.

:14:35.:14:39.

He goes for the Hollywood chip and chase. Good cover.

:14:40.:14:45.

Gethin Jenkins will be telling him, I was the!

:14:46.:14:50.

There's no point. I just think Sam could have backed himself and

:14:51.:14:54.

stepped outside. Took the chase instead.

:14:55.:15:04.

A different Cardiff Blues. This is something they have improved so much

:15:05.:15:11.

this year. A good kick from Lloyd Williams.

:15:12.:15:16.

He tried to take it one-handed. A lovely little grubber kick from

:15:17.:15:18.

Lloyd Williams. Beautiful kick. Lloyd Williams timed

:15:19.:15:24.

it brilliantly. So often you see scrum-half take the ball and at a

:15:25.:15:30.

stop but it is difficult to attack from there. A brilliant weapon.

:15:31.:15:37.

Perfectly measured kick. Dan Fish couldn't take it but a very positive

:15:38.:15:41.

start from the Blues. Six inches up and it would have been

:15:42.:15:48.

into the basket for Dan Fish. Dillon Lewis was outstanding for Wales in

:15:49.:15:53.

the Under 20s. He was very close to getting the

:15:54.:15:57.

man-of-the-match. This will be another step up. Yes,

:15:58.:16:04.

it is up against Treviso, but... He is up against Alberto De Marchi,

:16:05.:16:13.

who has 29 caps for Italy. Interesting that Sam Warburton is

:16:14.:16:18.

packing down on the blindside. Jenkins is on the left-hand side,

:16:19.:16:23.

the open side. The suggestion they played left and right defensively

:16:24.:16:28.

tonight. He took that kick to the head at

:16:29.:16:31.

Twickenham. A great scrum from the Blues. And

:16:32.:16:46.

they have turned it. Lloyd Williams waiting. Good control from Navidi

:16:47.:16:55.

and it wins the penalty. It is a very impressive loose scrum.

:16:56.:17:03.

Lewis has passed his first test with flying colours. A superb scrum.

:17:04.:17:06.

They are going for the line. I think I would have taken the scrum

:17:07.:17:17.

there. The referee has got it in his mind they are on top. A great leg

:17:18.:17:26.

drive from Dillon Lewis, Kristian Dacey. That is an area they were

:17:27.:17:28.

concerned about with the lighter pack but a brilliant technique.

:17:29.:17:36.

Great take. By Josh Turnbull. Perfect position. Jenkins. All the

:17:37.:17:43.

way. The first try has come for the Blues. Simple as that for Ellis

:17:44.:17:47.

Jenkins. Great control all round for the Blues. It showed earlier on with

:17:48.:17:55.

the driving line-out, it is a weapon. Good patience. Good

:17:56.:18:01.

technique. I thought they might be in for obstruction. Treviso seemed

:18:02.:18:07.

to stop it initially, pulling down. Great work, great buy DVD in the

:18:08.:18:11.

front and then Ellis Jenkins sniffed the line and peeled off. -- great by

:18:12.:18:21.

DVD. They would be able to do that in the Pro12 next year. It is still

:18:22.:18:25.

legal at the moment and good work by Jenkins.

:18:26.:18:29.

So difficult to defend once you are so far back.

:18:30.:18:32.

Virtually impossible, five metres out. Quite ironic because you pick

:18:33.:18:36.

these players will be driving line-out and it gives you the first

:18:37.:18:40.

try. Gareth Anscombe is taking the place

:18:41.:18:48.

kicks. Rhys Patchell is the league leading point Storer on 169. Gareth

:18:49.:18:59.

Anscombe with two penalties. He now gets another two points to add to

:19:00.:19:01.

the season 's tally. A good start from the Blues. A bit

:19:02.:19:11.

scrappy early on with a couple of line-out but they have found their

:19:12.:19:13.

feet in the last five minutes. Before they can go for the restart,

:19:14.:19:30.

Simone Ferrari has been duly patched up and is back on.

:19:31.:19:38.

Filippo Filippetto was of use in those early scrums.

:19:39.:19:53.

Dillon Lewis with the tackle. Your own player has taken him down.

:19:54.:20:09.

Back inside. It is right there for Alberto

:20:10.:20:37.

Back inside. It is right there for over the ball tonight. The back row

:20:38.:20:43.

speaks for itself. Josh Turnbull is good at getting to the ball but also

:20:44.:20:47.

Kristian Dacey and Gethin Jenkins as well. Six out of the pack are very

:20:48.:22:08.

Kristian Dacey and Gethin Jenkins as really game for the Blues this

:22:09.:22:13.

season. -- has played a league game. The other two back in November.

:22:14.:22:19.

International duty and a couple of injuries. He played a lot last

:22:20.:22:26.

season for the Blues, more rugby then he played in all his career

:22:27.:22:30.

last year. People want to be at the forefront. Take the pressure off

:22:31.:22:36.

until the ball is in, otherwise you force me to make another decision

:22:37.:22:44.

now. In the last scrum, with Mr Ferrari

:22:45.:22:49.

back on. The scrum seemed a lot more solid for Treviso. Two good scrums

:22:50.:22:53.

from each team. I think it is the touch judge this

:22:54.:23:19.

site who called it. I think it was the arm. Three on the arm.

:23:20.:23:32.

On the blindside for the referee. We arm was held out by the other match

:23:33.:23:38.

officials. Lewis has just turned 20 and Simone Ferrari is just three

:23:39.:23:47.

days short of his birthday. Two young tight head.

:23:48.:23:58.

And old loose heads. Nice contrast. I am sure he is an Warren Gatland's

:23:59.:24:06.

radar. Amazing when you think Rob Evans and

:24:07.:24:09.

Samson Lee are both only 23 as well. A good strike by Jayden Hayward.

:24:10.:24:23.

Treviso have their first points of the evening. Jayden Hayward is a

:24:24.:24:31.

good player and every time we watch Treviso play, he is the standout

:24:32.:24:37.

player. He is a good kick at goal as well. The Blues will have to keep

:24:38.:24:43.

their discipline. They will be happy with how they started. They will

:24:44.:24:46.

open up play later on. Sam Davies and the gunman have

:24:47.:24:52.

scored more points than Jayden Hayward in the league this year.

:24:53.:24:59.

Alberto Sgarbi and then Luca Marco Barbini with the juggle.

:25:00.:25:16.

He has just kept possession. It was good work initially from Josh

:25:17.:25:22.

Turnbull, involved in the work and kicking loose. I think it is Josh

:25:23.:25:27.

Turnbull and Gethin Jenkins following up with the penalty in the

:25:28.:25:37.

contact area. A nice low tackle by Ellis Jenkins. Gethin Jenkins get

:25:38.:25:39.

over. So difficult in that position. A frustrated seven the whole of his

:25:40.:25:54.

life but he didn't quite have the body shape, and fortunately for

:25:55.:25:58.

Gethin Jenkins, so he has ended up in the front row.

:25:59.:26:32.

Gareth Anscombe wastes no time in cancelling out Jayden Hayward's

:26:33.:26:40.

penalty and the Blues 7-point advantage is restored.

:26:41.:26:45.

Always a little bit of extra pressure on you as well, if you have

:26:46.:26:50.

got to kick us in your team. Rhys Patchell will want to kick the goal

:26:51.:26:54.

kicks so it would have been an interesting conversation this week

:26:55.:26:55.

but so far it has been good. Again, Dan Fish is the one who is

:26:56.:27:02.

there to receive. Dan Fish has played all 17 games, 18

:27:03.:27:20.

today. Lovely out the back door by Alberto Sgarbi. Over the top. It

:27:21.:27:28.

didn't quite Ludovico Nitoglia. We have seen some good handling skills

:27:29.:27:30.

from both teams early on. Ludovico Nitoglia to Dean Budd.

:27:31.:27:54.

Outside him. Taking an Josh Navidi. Chris Smylie. A great off-load to

:27:55.:28:02.

Sam Christie. A long, floating past that wasn't taken.

:28:03.:28:10.

They do possess a threat. Jayden Hayward again, on the outside of

:28:11.:28:13.

Gethin Jenkins. Just that final pass, they can't get

:28:14.:28:19.

support runners there. Jayden Hayward has picked Gethin Jenkins

:28:20.:28:23.

and gone on the outside. A good support runner. Good scramble

:28:24.:28:30.

defence from the Blues but they do have some dangerous runners. You

:28:31.:28:35.

can't take your eyes off that man. Three New Zealand born players in

:28:36.:28:54.

the back. Halfbacks as well. Dean Budd upfront. Filo Paulo is born in

:28:55.:28:59.

New Zealand. They are not having it all their own

:29:00.:29:12.

way at the scrum anymore, the Blues. It passed by Rhys Patchell. Dan Fish

:29:13.:29:19.

is dragged down. An excellent cover tackle by Ludovico Nitoglia.

:29:20.:29:25.

A big advantage in the Blues. You can either choose to kick the ball.

:29:26.:29:31.

He thought he would give this to Dan Fish in the outside. And Ludovico

:29:32.:29:36.

Nitoglia is really quick and a great cover tackle.

:29:37.:29:43.

Dan Fish has had another good season. Four tries.

:29:44.:29:53.

Ball in hand he is a real threat. Probably needs to work on his game

:29:54.:29:57.

defensively. They do see him as a winger rather than a full-back.

:29:58.:30:07.

Sloppy loan out from Treviso. -- line-out. I think they have lifted

:30:08.:30:16.

the man into the line-up, which exaggerates the throne not being

:30:17.:30:21.

straight. An interesting call from Gethin Jenkins, going for the

:30:22.:30:24.

line-out rather than the scrum. It might indicate they are under

:30:25.:30:30.

pressure. Ferrari is back on. Well is executed -- well executed by

:30:31.:30:35.

Josh Turnbull. Dean Budd. Victoria waits, Chris Smylie just

:30:36.:30:52.

gives him an extra bit of shielding before Dan Fish can arrive.

:30:53.:30:55.

Ferrarini. He wanted to chase but it is too

:30:56.:31:10.

long, straight or Gareth Anscombe. Now to Rhys Patchell. Tries to go

:31:11.:31:16.

outside his man. This could be an overlap here. Rey Lee-Lo. Garyn

:31:17.:31:23.

Smith on his outside. Looking to see if he could get the pass back in but

:31:24.:31:30.

eventually forced out of play. Again, they work the numbers. They

:31:31.:31:36.

have a few times, when they go wide, Treviso are struggling. Goodspeed by

:31:37.:31:42.

Garyn Smith but nobody on the inside and good scramble defence. If the

:31:43.:31:46.

Blues are patient and go through the phases and keep the ball, Treviso,

:31:47.:31:51.

like most Italian sides, do lose their shape in defence.

:31:52.:32:20.

The Blues will look to attack the scrum. Treviso with the put-in.

:32:21.:32:55.

Hayward has stepped in at ten. Maybe Chris Smylie will want to get rid of

:32:56.:33:09.

this one himself. He needs to get a grip of this very quickly. There

:33:10.:33:16.

have been a few taking too much time to set. I still think we should stop

:33:17.:33:19.

the clock while they are in setting and restarting when the ball comes

:33:20.:33:26.

out. You are not in a great rush to get home tonight!

:33:27.:33:39.

Dean Budd, that was forward to Barbini. That was definitely

:33:40.:33:49.

forward, wasn't it? Outside the 22, so Chris Smylie could not go direct

:33:50.:33:56.

attach. Rhys Patchell looking for space on the far side. Across comes

:33:57.:34:03.

Hayward. The return kick. It is going to go dead. Hayward would have

:34:04.:34:11.

been hoping that the artificial pitch would have just held it up. It

:34:12.:34:18.

is always interesting for visiting teams to come down here and play on

:34:19.:34:21.

this page and try and get used to the bounce of the ball. Yes, you can

:34:22.:34:25.

see when it lands, it sticks sometimes, rather than a true

:34:26.:34:29.

bounce. It went straight up in the air that time. It takes some getting

:34:30.:34:34.

used to with your new play on these pages a couple of times a year.

:34:35.:34:39.

Interesting to see that Rhys Patchell is actually doing the drop

:34:40.:34:43.

out and Gareth Anscombe is taking the kicks at goal. Another decent

:34:44.:34:56.

return from Treviso. When you have a Munster book of from Rhys Patchell,

:34:57.:34:59.

it is not really matter. But is a great kick. Munster are in action

:35:00.:35:06.

tonight, racing off to a lead of two converted tries. Munster are one of

:35:07.:35:13.

the teams that the Blues are trying to chase down for that sixth place.

:35:14.:35:18.

They are currently in fifth, just above Glasgow. Glasgow have a game

:35:19.:35:25.

in hand. It is a little bit flat here at the moment. We need sending

:35:26.:35:29.

to spark, a little bit of inspiration from somebody on the

:35:30.:35:34.

park. Treviso are doing their job and frustrating the Blues at the

:35:35.:35:37.

minute. The Blues decided not to contest that line. Barbini again

:35:38.:35:45.

taking the flat ball. Dean Budd straight through the middle. Chris

:35:46.:35:54.

Smylie, to Filo Paulo. Good work by Sam Warburton but he is told to get

:35:55.:36:01.

off it then. Christine not going for the ball, the defence up so quickly

:36:02.:36:05.

in midfield. It is patient from Treviso. They are

:36:06.:36:25.

not making any great inroads into the Blues' defence. The Blues are

:36:26.:36:35.

getting feet in and slowing it down. Dean Budd, again well met Heidi

:36:36.:36:41.

Blues defence. And that is Josh Turnbull with the tackle, it has

:36:42.:36:47.

dislodged the ball. Kristian Dacey, Smith. Rey Lee-Lo was there, ready

:36:48.:36:55.

and waiting. Lloyd Williams, Gareth Anscombe. A good pass to Josh

:36:56.:36:59.

Turnbull. He rides the challenge of Dean Budd. Gareth Anscombe.

:37:00.:37:11.

Clean breaks are very hard to come by at the moment from either side.

:37:12.:37:22.

Rhys Patchell. It is Jenkins. Did get the early try for the Blues.

:37:23.:37:28.

Great break by Lloyd Williams. Just what the Blues needed. Tries to get

:37:29.:37:33.

it to Dan Fish and manages to do so. That is the sparkly team needed.

:37:34.:37:38.

They are flooding backwards in defence now, Treviso. They know the

:37:39.:37:43.

danger. Jenkins, Sam Warburton was waiting. It has slow down. They are

:37:44.:37:52.

back in position. Josh Navidi. Now it is the Blues' turn to be patient.

:37:53.:37:56.

There is Lloyd Williams who sparked it all without great break. Rhys

:37:57.:38:06.

Patchell, Gareth Anscombe. And killing the ball. Failing to roll

:38:07.:38:10.

away. Slowing it down. The Blues will be thinking, chances have been

:38:11.:38:17.

so few are far between, that is what they could have done it. A brilliant

:38:18.:38:21.

break with Lloyd Williams with nobody on his shoulder, similar to

:38:22.:38:23.

Sam Warburton earlier. It was a great pass to Dan Fish, who had to

:38:24.:38:37.

check. He is so dangerous, Lloyd Williams in these areas. Great pace

:38:38.:38:41.

but there is nobody within ten or 15 yards. It

:38:42.:38:42.

but there is nobody within ten or 15 Jenkins got the early try. And it is

:38:43.:39:13.

Ellis Jenkins again, poaching, he has been brought down this time. He

:39:14.:39:18.

was brought down by his own man then, from behind. Kristian Dacey.

:39:19.:39:23.

Round the corner. Driven back. early to make the game a little bit

:39:24.:40:48.

more settled. We have failed to do that so far. Treviso are really

:40:49.:40:56.

struggling in the line-out. Gareth Anscombe, to Dillon Lewis. Certainly

:40:57.:41:01.

looking forward more score before half-time. They are getting close

:41:02.:41:14.

now. On a few occasions. Tom James has the return ball. Manages to fend

:41:15.:41:27.

off Esposito. Sam Warburton. Good hit on Rhys Patchell. It was Filo

:41:28.:41:35.

Paulo. Dan Fish to Smith. James stands up is Manuel. Josh Navidi,

:41:36.:41:48.

Dillon Lewis. Treviso are having to put in a lot of tackles. It will

:41:49.:41:54.

take its toll by the end of the game. It is frustrating the Blues at

:41:55.:41:57.

the moment because they cannot get the second score. Dan Fish. Lloyd

:41:58.:42:09.

Williams, a little pop-up for Rey Lee-Lo. A different angle causing

:42:10.:42:14.

problems. Now there are men white again. Surely this time, Sam

:42:15.:42:21.

Warburton to Josh Navidi. Josh Navidi has just about got there. For

:42:22.:42:25.

a moment, the Blues thought they may have given up another chance but no,

:42:26.:42:31.

it is a try for Josh Navidi. Good patience and phases by the Blues.

:42:32.:42:36.

They were going to run out of numbers eventually, Treviso. A good

:42:37.:42:44.

carry from Rey Lee-Lo. Good hands and good finish from Josh Navidi.

:42:45.:42:49.

Whenever he plays at 806, he is a far better player when he plays in

:42:50.:42:52.

that addition, rather than seven. Not the tallest of players but so

:42:53.:43:00.

difficult to bring down. Strong, great, low centre of gravity. Very

:43:01.:43:05.

difficult to stop, good finish. Tom James would not have been happy if

:43:06.:43:07.

he did not finish, but finish he did. I think it was the right

:43:08.:43:12.

decision not to give it to Tom James because the covering defenders were

:43:13.:43:16.

coming across. He has backed himself and he has got over. He knows his

:43:17.:43:21.

way to the try line. But is the fifth in the league for Josh Navidi

:43:22.:43:24.

this season. Excellent strike from Gareth

:43:25.:43:50.

Anscombe. Converging from wide out. Does not cause any problems at all

:43:51.:43:57.

for him. -- conversion. Just six and a half minutes of the first half

:43:58.:44:01.

remaining. If you are honest, this scoreline slightly flatters the

:44:02.:44:09.

Blues. Treviso made a good fist of things early on but have not managed

:44:10.:44:11.

to get the points on the board. And still the crowd are fairly

:44:12.:44:39.

quiet, even though the Blues have their second. Yes, it is a little

:44:40.:44:51.

bit flat, isn't it? But quickly on Gethin Jenkins. Gareth Anscombe,

:44:52.:44:56.

trying to dance his way through. Lloyd Williams just falling forwards

:44:57.:45:10.

around to the blindside. Giving him the protection to get the kick in.

:45:11.:45:16.

It is missed by Esposito. That is Barbini, the blindside. I

:45:17.:45:41.

think he has rolled over his ankle. He is in a bit of trouble. They have

:45:42.:45:49.

got Abraham Steyn to come on. This will be a big call for the big

:45:50.:45:55.

ball-carrier, if they go over him. It looks as though they may well go

:45:56.:46:03.

forward the other day marquee. The youngster. They have gone with a 6-

:46:04.:46:11.

to split. Filo Paulo making his return to the

:46:12.:46:23.

Arms Park, spent three years here with the Blues. Played in four of

:46:24.:46:39.

Samoa 's games in the World Cup. He is nowhere near him, he has just

:46:40.:46:43.

rolled his ankle. Nowhere near him, he has gone to put his foot down and

:46:44.:46:46.

rolled it. The first try from Ellis Jenkins

:46:47.:47:04.

after eight minutes. From the driving line-out. And the wet sand

:47:05.:47:10.

the numbers proving too much in the yen for Josh Navidi. Adding a second

:47:11.:47:19.

just a couple of minutes ago. There is no way that Barbini is going to

:47:20.:47:24.

be able to carry on after turning his ankle so badly. The strapping is

:47:25.:47:33.

not going to allow him to take any further part in this game. De Marchi

:47:34.:47:36.

takes his place. Rey Lee-Lo, back to Lloyd Williams.

:47:37.:48:09.

Gareth Anscombe. The Blues try and generate some pace.

:48:10.:48:18.

It is the first time we have really seen them running onto the ball from

:48:19.:48:30.

death. It was the right option from Gareth Anscombe. The numbers were

:48:31.:48:43.

there in defence. He has got that. You could see that a mile off. Great

:48:44.:48:50.

work by Ellis Jenkins over the ball. They did the line-out correctly but

:48:51.:48:55.

then not enough support for Dean Budd that is what he is saying, was

:48:56.:49:00.

on his own, Jenkins was on him in a flash. Josh Navidi flew up with the

:49:01.:49:05.

hit and Ellis Jenkins straight over the ball. And the right decision. If

:49:06.:49:12.

they can get three tries in this first, it will set them up for that

:49:13.:49:17.

bonus point in the second. Back the driving line-out. It is something

:49:18.:49:26.

that Danny Wilson has turned into a weapon for the Blues this year.

:49:27.:49:34.

James Down, plenty of line-out options, they are using the maul.

:49:35.:49:40.

Here comes the drive again. It is good defence from Treviso. Lloyd

:49:41.:49:46.

Williams trying to rip the ball from Ellis Jenkins. He is caught up now

:49:47.:49:49.

in the middle of it. It is well defended. I think it was Lazzaroni

:49:50.:49:55.

and Filo Paulo, they just came through the middle and got a hand on

:49:56.:50:00.

the ball. Lloyd Williams could not get it away from the driving maul.

:50:01.:50:05.

Good defence from Treviso. I thought the Blues would get over.

:50:06.:50:26.

Well, Treviso will be happy to hear that half-time whistle. They have

:50:27.:50:34.

been under pressure for long periods. They certainly will not

:50:35.:50:41.

want to concede a third before getting back to the safety of the

:50:42.:50:42.

changing rooms. Dean Budd has to be careful not to

:50:43.:50:58.

get isolated again. And lost it again to Ellis Jenkins. But is real

:50:59.:51:01.

quick thinking from the Blues flanker. It has put them straight

:51:02.:51:06.

back under pressure. Dan Fish looks were Tom James on the outside. It

:51:07.:51:12.

bounces back into the hands of Garyn Smith instead. Manage to force them

:51:13.:51:19.

over the sideline though. And it is an extra bit of defending that

:51:20.:51:25.

Treviso have forced upon themselves. Brilliant work again from Ellis

:51:26.:51:28.

Jenkins. Dean Budd off the back of the scrum, makes the tackle. He we

:51:29.:51:38.

go, they are. -- they are off. Why didn't he play advantage? I am not

:51:39.:51:52.

quite sure. It was knocked on by green, but...

:51:53.:51:58.

REFEREE: If he uses that language again, he

:51:59.:52:03.

leaves the field. I do not need that ran with. It does not matter. OK,

:52:04.:52:07.

let's go. -- that language. And as we have seen all too clearly

:52:08.:52:24.

over the last few weeks, microphones pick up everything on the field,

:52:25.:52:30.

don't they? No comment on that one. Let's move on to the scrum. Last

:52:31.:52:40.

chance for the Blues as the clock goes red. Quickly taken by Lloyd

:52:41.:52:43.

Williams. Lovely inside ball by Gareth Anscombe. Tom James. It is

:52:44.:52:49.

now desperate defence to keep them out before half-time. The Blues are

:52:50.:52:56.

looking to get a third. The ball has been turned over, has it? Yes, it

:52:57.:53:00.

has. It has gone forward. Treviso just managed to hold on but the

:53:01.:53:06.

Blues have half the job done. Four tries as what they want for a bonus

:53:07.:53:10.

point and with half the game played, they do have two of them in the bag

:53:11.:53:15.

already. They have been close on a couple of other occasions but I

:53:16.:53:18.

think they will be fairly satisfied with the first 40. Job half done.

:53:19.:53:26.

The Blues lead at half-time, 17-3. Gareth Anscombe, you have a lead,

:53:27.:53:32.

how confident are you that you can't open them up in the second half? We

:53:33.:53:38.

might have to grind them down. They are spoiling a sad times in the

:53:39.:53:44.

line-out. We can open up in the second half. Happy with that Eddery

:53:45.:53:51.

right boot? It is nice to be doing the goal-kicking again. Have a good

:53:52.:53:58.

orange. The Blues made no secret of the fact they are after a four try

:53:59.:54:01.

bonus point out and they are half way there. Ellis Jenkins crossing

:54:02.:54:04.

after just eight minutes on the clock. One of three opensides

:54:05.:54:08.

playing in the back row for the Blues tonight. Gareth Anscombe

:54:09.:54:18.

goal-kicking again. He has not missed with the boot to night. The

:54:19.:54:22.

second try came from a bit of patience and a strong finish from

:54:23.:54:25.

another of the opensides playing in the back row, Josh Navidi. A quick

:54:26.:54:32.

look at those stats, Treviso making twice as many tackles as the Blues

:54:33.:54:37.

just about than they have missed ten of those as well. The Blues are

:54:38.:54:41.

breaking through the defensive line with a fair amount of regularity but

:54:42.:54:46.

just the two tries to show for it. But the lion's share of possession,

:54:47.:54:50.

more carries and more meat made as well. On most of the stats,

:54:51.:54:56.

Jonathan, the Blues are head. Martyn Williams suggesting the scoreline is

:54:57.:55:01.

flattering them a little bit at the moment but they are comfortable. I

:55:02.:55:05.

think they are dominant, as the stats has shown. You have to give

:55:06.:55:09.

Treviso some credit. They were very abrasive in defence and got stuck in

:55:10.:55:13.

but I think as the half has gone on, the Blues' attacking shape has

:55:14.:55:17.

improved and they have dominated possession and started to look

:55:18.:55:21.

really strong. You would expect them to cut open in the second half. You

:55:22.:55:25.

mentioned their attacking shape. They do seem when they have the ball

:55:26.:55:28.

in hand the more likely of the two sites score. We mentioned it at the

:55:29.:55:36.

start of the show, the intent to the pack that they have picked. They

:55:37.:55:40.

want to play. Sometimes, I think they are forcing it a bit too much.

:55:41.:55:47.

Sometimes you need to engage and be direct. Keep the defence honest. But

:55:48.:55:52.

I think they are the sort of thing is that Danny Wilson will be

:55:53.:55:56.

speaking about that half-time. They are forcing things a little bit and

:55:57.:55:59.

as Jonathan mentioned, they have scored two tries but another few

:56:00.:56:03.

have gone begging. They have. They had some early opportunities.

:56:04.:56:08.

Treviso are not going away. You have to take those opportunities and join

:56:09.:56:12.

a Baz 18. The first and was a Sam Warburton break. They have this

:56:13.:56:16.

shape and they burst through. The backline switch off and wait for the

:56:17.:56:20.

next phase. That is no good. You have to anticipate that one of your

:56:21.:56:25.

forwards could make a break. That was a chance gone begging. Nice play

:56:26.:56:28.

from Lloyd Williams. They take the more infield and it creates a large

:56:29.:56:33.

blindside. Dan Fish is hanging around behind Lloyd Williams. And

:56:34.:56:41.

they go for it. Great timing. He is too flat. Great right footed kick

:56:42.:56:46.

and the fullback has a lot to do. If this gets a bit more of a bounce or

:56:47.:56:51.

Dan Fish is a yard closer, it is a try. They were to opportunities that

:56:52.:56:56.

they did not take. We heard Danny Wilson 20 minutes in expressing his

:56:57.:57:00.

frustration that the Blues have not been able to impose the game than

:57:01.:57:04.

they wanted to one Treviso, betting Sir into a tighter game. -- getting

:57:05.:57:11.

sucked. If it gets better in the second half, more tries will come.

:57:12.:57:16.

You have to learn the right to go outside. I want to show you their

:57:17.:57:19.

basic attacking It was instrumental in the build-up

:57:20.:57:47.

then to create a mismatch and an overlap. I expect to see a little

:57:48.:57:58.

door more directness before they go wide in the second half. We talked

:57:59.:59:27.

gone to do that job. Interesting stuff. Briefly I want to talk about

:59:28.:59:33.

Rhys Patchell. He is playing 15 tonight and our fans can has come in

:59:34.:59:38.

and take attentional. Rhys Patchell is looking pretty good out there.

:59:39.:59:48.

He's just a good rugby player. I think the thing with Rhys Patchell

:59:49.:59:51.

and Gareth Anscombe, they have the ability of splitting the field and

:59:52.:59:56.

playing either side of the ruck. Rhys Patchell has such a good pass

:59:57.:00:03.

and such good speed. He's a top rugby player and he will really

:00:04.:00:07.

prominently in the second half. This is just the 1st of April 12 round

:00:08.:00:12.

matches this weekend. Plenty more coming your weekend, including the

:00:13.:00:16.

first of six Welsh derbies. The Pro12 is heating up. Six derbies

:00:17.:00:28.

coming your way, starting with the Ospreys versus the Scarlets. Catch

:00:29.:00:34.

it live tomorrow on radio Wales. On Sunday the Dragons take on

:00:35.:00:40.

Edinburgh. And on our show later that evening, we will round up the

:00:41.:00:47.

weekend action and meet Pembrokeshire's most famous Pharma.

:00:48.:00:53.

Basically where I grew up as a kid and spent all my summers.

:00:54.:01:04.

Rob Evans is the unanimous choice for loose head of the tournament.

:01:05.:01:09.

Row with tuning that Pembrokeshire boy. He mentioned the championship.

:01:10.:01:17.

Everyone will have an edge but perhaps the ones played next door to

:01:18.:01:22.

us when all four regions arrive on the same day will have extra spice

:01:23.:01:24.

as Judgment Day is coming up. One man who will be a very

:01:25.:02:01.

interested spectator on Judgment Day is the Wales head coach, Warren

:02:02.:02:05.

Gatland. He is an interested spectator tonight.

:02:06.:02:09.

Wait to see you. Six Welsh derbies coming up to finish the running to

:02:10.:02:14.

the season. How much of an incentive will there be for the players to get

:02:15.:02:18.

on the New Zealand tour? A huge incentive, not just for the

:02:19.:02:23.

derbies but also for the Ospreys and the Blues, still with the outside

:02:24.:02:27.

chance to qualify for Europe if they can get into the top six and it will

:02:28.:02:31.

be brilliant for Welsh rugby and hopefully the Scarlets can stay in

:02:32.:02:33.

the top four. Give us some names of players who

:02:34.:02:38.

you might be looking at, hoping you can put them in.

:02:39.:02:47.

A couple of those youngsters will hopefully get a run out for the

:02:48.:02:50.

regions over the next few weeks. Having a look tonight and seeing how

:02:51.:02:56.

Josh Turnbull is doing at second row and seeing we mix of the loose

:02:57.:03:00.

forward trio, Gareth Anscombe at ten and Lloyd Williams nine. The Blues

:03:01.:03:05.

have started pretty well it has been a good first half and hopefully they

:03:06.:03:11.

can score a couple more tries. The big West Wales derby tomorrow.

:03:12.:03:15.

How do you see that? And then the Dragons game on Sunday so I am

:03:16.:03:19.

really looking forward to tomorrow. Hopefully we will get a day like

:03:20.:03:23.

today where the conditions are brilliant and a good crowd turns up.

:03:24.:03:29.

Any truth in the rumour you are only going to the Ospreys against

:03:30.:03:32.

Scarlets game because you can't get a ticket for the Pontypridd game?

:03:33.:03:39.

It should be a great occasion. A real derby. Cheers.

:03:40.:03:44.

A couple of great derbies coming up tomorrow and talking about the

:03:45.:03:51.

Ospreys against the Scarlets now because it doesn't get any bigger

:03:52.:03:54.

when it comes to West Wales fixtures. Both very strong teams

:03:55.:03:58.

facing off against one another at the Liberty Stadium. The headline

:03:59.:04:01.

for the Ospreys side is the fact that Sam Davies has retained the

:04:02.:04:05.

number ten shirt, Dan Biggar will start on the bench. Freeze by --

:04:06.:04:13.

Rhys Webb is starting. No Alun Wyn Jones. Injured. Let's look at the

:04:14.:04:19.

Scarlets as well. Gareth Davies will start for them. An intriguing

:04:20.:04:22.

head-to-head against him and Rhys Webb. Jones, the end 20s fly-half,

:04:23.:04:29.

will start as well. Rob Evans starts again. Ken Owens in the back. Let's

:04:30.:04:33.

speak to Martyn Williams in the commentary box. The Scarlets trying

:04:34.:04:39.

to stay in the top four and the Ospreys desperate to get European

:04:40.:04:42.

qualification. How do you see it going? It is

:04:43.:04:46.

always a tasty affair with lots to play for. I think Warren Gatland

:04:47.:04:51.

touched upon it. Conditions tomorrow will be really important in how the

:04:52.:04:55.

game is played. Traditionally the Scarlets like to throw the ball

:04:56.:05:00.

about but I think Sam Davies and Rhys Webb, the Ospreys kicking game

:05:01.:05:03.

will edge its tomorrow. Can't wait to watch it tomorrow. The first of a

:05:04.:05:09.

lot of good derbies towards the end of the season.

:05:10.:05:12.

I can't wait. 40 more minutes against the Blues against Treviso to

:05:13.:05:17.

look forward to. About to kick off for the second half. Back to Gareth

:05:18.:05:18.

Charles. Thanks very much. Two tries in the

:05:19.:05:28.

bank for the Blues. Two more for a bonus point win and it will

:05:29.:05:31.

temporarily get them above the Ospreys and Edinburgh. Both of those

:05:32.:05:37.

teams in action in south Wales over the coming days. The Ospreys against

:05:38.:05:39.

the Scarlets and Dragons against Edinburgh.

:05:40.:05:46.

A well protected ball. James Down. The Blues are battering at the

:05:47.:06:21.

defence early and Dillon Lewis's disappointment is obvious,

:06:22.:06:26.

especially for himself. It was a great kick off from Rhys

:06:27.:06:30.

Patchell. We gathered it well. It was on the blindside. It was a poor

:06:31.:06:39.

pass. We will let him off for that one. It is good to see a prop

:06:40.:06:47.

actually passing. He has to work at it a little bit more.

:06:48.:06:57.

Ulster are ahead of Glasgow at the moment.

:06:58.:07:05.

The Ospreys and the Blues are looking at that sixth-place spot.

:07:06.:07:14.

Josh Turnbull has got through. Support is there from Smith. It

:07:15.:07:18.

reached him anyway. Josh Turnbull is the two receive the ball back.

:07:19.:07:27.

Gareth Anscombe to Dan Fish. Rey Lee-Lo, surely. Rey Lee-Lo. He makes

:07:28.:07:32.

it to the try line. Rey Lee-Lo gets his first league try in Blues

:07:33.:07:36.

colours and a very important score. He has hurt his wrist. It doesn't

:07:37.:07:49.

look good for Rey Lee-Lo but a good start to the second half for the

:07:50.:07:53.

Blues. A great bust by Josh Turnbull. Dan Fish hits the line. I

:07:54.:07:58.

don't normally like to see a list pass but it is important in defence

:07:59.:08:04.

against Treviso. A good finish from Rey Lee-Lo but he has called his

:08:05.:08:09.

wrist or his thumb and he has gone down. Hopefully it is not too

:08:10.:08:13.

serious. It all stems from the Josh Turnbull brake on the right-hand

:08:14.:08:14.

side. Rey Lee-Lo started the last dozen

:08:15.:08:27.

games for the Blues and he played for similar in the World Cup. --

:08:28.:08:39.

Sambora. The doctor has called from the sidelines but it looks as though

:08:40.:08:44.

it could be the end of the game for Rey Lee-Lo.

:08:45.:08:49.

Cory Allen is out for the Blues also, long term. Hopefully it won't

:08:50.:08:50.

be too serious. The first myth of the evening for

:08:51.:09:04.

Gareth Anscombe of the Blues, with that score early in the second half

:09:05.:09:08.

taking pressure off themselves. The good sign is that he has strapping.

:09:09.:09:13.

He is just getting on with it. Good finish. Woodwork from Dan Fish. You

:09:14.:09:18.

were about to criticise him for the most part but it worked out well

:09:19.:09:25.

because Treviso were chasing. Josh Turnbull and the right-hand side, a

:09:26.:09:28.

great bust and a great carry. It found itself to smooth and they kept

:09:29.:09:35.

the patience. A perfect start to the second half.

:09:36.:09:39.

Dan Fish has taken every restart that has come his way. Not sure of

:09:40.:09:49.

the wisdom of backs taking those. James. The down, Angelo Esposito.

:09:50.:10:00.

Tom James is not averse to a bit of contact. The Blues looked to have

:10:01.:10:08.

got the bit between their teeth in the second half, taking the game to

:10:09.:10:13.

Treviso. Out in the wide open channels as well.

:10:14.:10:23.

This could turn into a long second half for Treviso here.

:10:24.:10:30.

A little outside break by Dan Fish. Gareth Anscombe picks out Rhys

:10:31.:10:39.

Patchell. Down. Ray Lindo. And running by Rey Lee-Lo. He is inside

:10:40.:10:47.

the 22 in the time he is brought down by Marco Lazzaroni. Advantage

:10:48.:10:56.

is being played to the Blues. Gareth Anscombe blows himself and get the

:10:57.:11:00.

ball away to Josh Turnbull. Out to Lloyd Williams, to Rhys Patchell. He

:11:01.:11:08.

slots it to and incomes recover from Jayden Hayward.

:11:09.:11:13.

The referee is playing advantage. It is too easy for the Blues.

:11:14.:11:18.

Off-loading, passing before contact and Treviso have got no answer for

:11:19.:11:22.

it at the moment. They can't slow any ball down at the breakdown. The

:11:23.:11:26.

Blues having everything their own way at the moment.

:11:27.:11:43.

No wonder the Blues are going for the corner. They have really wrapped

:11:44.:11:53.

it up in the half a dozen minutes is half-time. -- since half-time. There

:11:54.:12:00.

was pressure in the first half but this is so much thicker in the

:12:01.:12:04.

second. Josh Turnbull struggling to get the ball back.

:12:05.:12:09.

Nor corn in the line. Tom Palmer with the challenge. Jonathan Thomas

:12:10.:12:16.

said at half-time, when Tom Palmer went up in the first half, he didn't

:12:17.:12:19.

get the ball. He has read the ball well and forced the turnover from

:12:20.:12:28.

Josh Turnbull. They have a slight breather for Treviso.

:12:29.:12:39.

42 caps for England, Tom Palmer. A lot of experience there, isn't

:12:40.:12:52.

the? He will be 37 on Sunday. He joined from Gloucester.

:12:53.:12:57.

It can't be easy when you are on the back foot every week like Treviso at

:12:58.:12:59.

that age. Dean Byrd was hoping for a penalty.

:13:00.:13:17.

We reset is all he has got for it. They seemed to have been a John.

:13:18.:13:25.

Luca Bigi, the Treviso hooker, has at first.

:13:26.:13:32.

That will be so frustrating for Treviso. They were harshly done by

:13:33.:13:56.

in the last scrum. They were going forward and he has penalised them

:13:57.:13:58.

straightaway for an early engage. You are pre-engaged on the Crouch.

:13:59.:14:24.

Josh Navidi is the recipient. They have gone through them all, I think.

:14:25.:14:30.

Kristian Dacey has got the ball in his clutches, looking to come round

:14:31.:14:36.

the blindside. Lloyd Williams. Lloyd Williams has a heart.

:14:37.:14:43.

Good tackle. It was a good tackle. It is still on. Rhys Patchell.

:14:44.:14:53.

Ludovico Nitoglia brings him down. Treviso defence being stretched all

:14:54.:15:01.

over. At the line-out, close to ruck and then wide-out. Turnbull. Jenkins

:15:02.:15:12.

was ready to run on but the ball is stuck so he feeds back inside to

:15:13.:15:15.

Dillon Lewis. Loses the ball in contact. Yet another penalty against

:15:16.:15:22.

Treviso. He has gone back to the penalty for

:15:23.:15:25.

the pulling down in the line-out five metres out. Pretty obvious what

:15:26.:15:34.

the Blues will do, going back to the corner and setting up the driving

:15:35.:15:40.

maul again. In the first ten minutes of the

:15:41.:15:47.

second half, 96% of the possession. Treviso are just hanging on and in

:15:48.:15:50.

fairness, they are making the tackles. Some good one-on-one

:15:51.:15:55.

tackles, one on Rhys Patchell and one on Lloyd Williams. A

:15:56.:16:21.

Smith. A lovely feed by Dillon Lewis. They really are varying the

:16:22.:16:25.

point of attack and the Blues trying to bring down this stubborn Treviso

:16:26.:16:30.

defence. Josh Turnbull with a good laid-back. Rhys Patchell trying to

:16:31.:16:37.

run an angle. Treviso are just not competing for

:16:38.:16:40.

the ball and it is time. Gethin Jenkins is driving his

:16:41.:18:08.

team onwards. Post to the touchline. They go back inside and go to the

:18:09.:18:16.

ground. Alberto De Marchi gets his hands on it but he is allowed this

:18:17.:18:24.

time. Knock forward. Treviso have done well, you have to

:18:25.:18:28.

give them credit. Digging in with snowball whatsoever for the first 12

:18:29.:18:33.

minutes of this half. They have defended four or five driving

:18:34.:18:38.

line-outs. Number five and number nine. Number two. Sean Holley, you

:18:39.:18:45.

have seen something. Let's go back to the try. It hasn't

:18:46.:18:54.

been a great few minutes but Filo Paulo and the others rush up and it

:18:55.:19:00.

is a zigzag, dogleg defence. Dan Fish does well. When you have a step

:19:01.:19:05.

like Ray Lindo, he is going to see the line and go for it. The Blues

:19:06.:19:09.

have to show some patience, build some pressure, get the line-out

:19:10.:19:17.

drive going and get this score. Changes for the visitors. Davide

:19:18.:19:29.

Giazzon. Alberto Lucchese with his ball in hand. Off the bench against

:19:30.:19:37.

Wales to win his second cap, the scrum-half.

:19:38.:20:06.

Again, aggressive scrimmaging by the Blues.

:20:07.:20:13.

A quick tap by Josh Navidi. He turns... No, just short. Lloyd

:20:14.:20:27.

Williams can't get his hands on the ball. Kristian Dacey gets the try

:20:28.:20:33.

that brings the Blues the bonus point. He kept hammering away. The

:20:34.:20:41.

line-out didn't work in the end. Kristian Dacey gets the bonus point

:20:42.:20:45.

try. It was bound to come with the

:20:46.:20:49.

pressure they have had in the first bit of the second half. A great

:20:50.:20:55.

scrum. One minute the other hand seems to be with Treviso but a great

:20:56.:20:59.

shove from the Blues. I thought Josh Navidi had got there in real-time

:21:00.:21:08.

but he was just short. Gethin Jenkins starts the front row battle

:21:09.:21:15.

with his friend. There is the bonus point. It has been all Blues in the

:21:16.:21:17.

first 15 minutes. The Pontypridd game is the biggest

:21:18.:21:27.

one of the weekend! This time it goes the other way and

:21:28.:21:57.

overcompensate. Conversions don't really matter in the grand scheme of

:21:58.:21:59.

things. The job is done. Four points. He has

:22:00.:22:09.

gone to Haider, Dean Budd. He has to go now. Kristian Dacey gets over.

:22:10.:22:15.

The Blues have been totally dominant. Probably a bit

:22:16.:22:20.

disappointed they haven't gone over the line earlier with the chances

:22:21.:22:21.

they have had. Cherif Traore is on the loose head.

:22:22.:22:40.

Again, Lloyd Williams with the run. Around the neck. Watch the neck

:22:41.:22:47.

area. Change for the Blues. Jarrad Hoeata

:22:48.:23:19.

is coming on. Jenkins is leaving. Josh Turnbull is back to six. A big

:23:20.:23:24.

game for Ellis Jenkins. Did well with some good carries. A couple of

:23:25.:23:29.

good turnovers in the tackle area. And he was in great form before that

:23:30.:23:32.

injury but he is back on song. Not a great first touch of the

:23:33.:24:05.

bench. Cherif Traore. It would carry but you have to take the ball with

:24:06.:24:07.

you. -- a good carry. They've got the points in the bag

:24:08.:24:35.

but now the Blues need to get tries. It could come in handy for what is a

:24:36.:24:42.

tight top of the table. You can't switch off. You are at

:24:43.:24:47.

home and you want to put Treviso to bed. You want to rack up some tries.

:24:48.:24:51.

Hopefully the game will open up. It is about how many matches you

:24:52.:25:08.

win, then points difference, then tries if teams end up on the same

:25:09.:25:13.

number of points. Eight arriving. It has worked for

:25:14.:25:41.

the Blues defensively. Josh Navidi with the turnover. Jenkins has got

:25:42.:25:50.

one, so has Josh Turnbull. Treviso don't have an answer to that tackle

:25:51.:25:57.

area. The defence has not been overly

:25:58.:26:01.

tested in the first hour. See what the thinking is now.

:26:02.:26:07.

Danny Wilson, with the bonus point in the bag, this is more like it?

:26:08.:26:11.

A frustrating first half but now we have the game going better in terms

:26:12.:26:15.

of the attacking tempo we want to play. A lot of pressure this half.

:26:16.:26:20.

It took us a long time to finish but the bonus point is there and we need

:26:21.:26:25.

to finish the game. Some changes? A couple of changes

:26:26.:26:29.

for the right reasons. To give us some impact hopefully. To tire out

:26:30.:26:33.

the opposition. Any chance you can bring Kristian

:26:34.:26:39.

Dacey off? I want to ask him about the Pontypridd game tomorrow.

:26:40.:26:40.

Cheers. Angelo Esposito making good headway.

:26:41.:27:01.

One of the best attacks from Treviso. All the way up there.

:27:02.:27:08.

Operated Archie. -- Alberto De Marchi. Ferrari. Ferrari looks a

:27:09.:27:20.

decent player. He has really scrummaged well and got around the

:27:21.:27:23.

park. The other prop holds onto it. Jayden

:27:24.:27:30.

Hayward. A dangerous path that Alberto Sgarbi is there.

:27:31.:27:37.

It has been slowed down by the Blues. The first time we have seen

:27:38.:27:45.

them Treviso's game this evening. Jayden Hayward to Dean Budd. They

:27:46.:27:52.

showed against the Scarlets that they don't give up.

:27:53.:27:56.

It has all come from a sloppy kick chase from the Blues, a

:27:57.:28:01.

counterattack. You didn't survive the clean-out.

:28:02.:28:06.

He wants to carry on with things, does Jayden Hayward. He could still

:28:07.:28:14.

get there. Right on the try line. The tackle from Kristian Dacey keeps

:28:15.:28:19.

him away. A long ball out and it is the flanker, Marco Lazzaroni, who

:28:20.:28:27.

gets the try from Treviso. Good perseverance. It comes from a

:28:28.:28:30.

sloppy kick chase which allowed them to counterattack, get into the Blues

:28:31.:28:35.

22. They kept their patience and won a penalty. Jayden Hayward kicked the

:28:36.:28:41.

penalty and the Blues run out of numbers. It is all about the top two

:28:42.:28:47.

inches, switching off thinking the job is done. A well-deserved try for

:28:48.:28:51.

that attack from Treviso. For once, he missed pass was needed.

:28:52.:29:13.

Plenty of space for Marco Lazzaroni. It all came from a sense of urgency

:29:14.:29:20.

from Jayden Hayward. Now there is a chance to convert.

:29:21.:29:28.

It didn't quite hold its line, just outside the post.

:29:29.:29:37.

The changes in the front row for the Blues. Munster making that

:29:38.:29:44.

absolutely clear. A bonus point for them as well against Zebre.

:29:45.:29:49.

Italian rugby is in a dark place at the moment. At club level, not just

:29:50.:29:56.

internationally. At the minutes, the Italians are bringing nothing to the

:29:57.:30:01.

party. A real shame. Those teams have gone backwards over two or

:30:02.:30:05.

three years. Dan Fish was taken out before he was

:30:06.:30:10.

anywhere near the ball. Munster just edging it at last go at the moment.

:30:11.:30:17.

A tough encounter. Not a good result for the Scarlets

:30:18.:30:22.

if Ulster win but a good result for the Blues and the Ospreys. They go.

:30:23.:30:27.

Just scored a try. There is just no need for it.

:30:28.:30:41.

Brainless. With Filo Paulo supporting him. Then

:30:42.:30:48.

he comes out and takes out Dan Fish, Davide Giazzon.

:30:49.:30:52.

And the referee was right in front of it.

:30:53.:31:04.

I think the Blues are just bored of driving line-outs. They have decided

:31:05.:31:14.

to take the three. I know I was stressing points difference but I

:31:15.:31:16.

did not quite have this in mind. It is three points to the Blues. It

:31:17.:31:22.

will help the points difference at the end of the day that they could

:31:23.:31:27.

do with tries as well. Four fixtures in the Premiership tomorrow. The big

:31:28.:31:31.

one tomorrow is the Gwent RB, Newport against Crosskeys.

:31:32.:31:38.

Pontypridd are playing Merthyr in the fourth round of the sway let up.

:31:39.:31:47.

Your brother has recently joined Merthyr. What do you think? I think

:31:48.:31:58.

it is a massive occasion. The cup, it is one of those games where you

:31:59.:32:02.

have a lower league team against a Premiership team, it is anyone's

:32:03.:32:07.

game. It is like a cup final really. What about to showcase valleys

:32:08.:32:13.

rugby? It is massive. It is the game everybody wants. And it is

:32:14.:32:18.

happening. I suppose it will be one of the biggest crowd Sardis Road has

:32:19.:32:24.

seen all year. It is a tough one for me. I am a Merthyr boy. But I have

:32:25.:32:29.

had some good times at Ponty. I am 50-50. Very firmly on the fence. May

:32:30.:32:42.

the best team win, that is all you can say. It is great. The cup is

:32:43.:32:51.

getting so much attention. It will be a great occasion tomorrow at

:32:52.:32:56.

Sardis Road. The referee will be very important in that one. And it

:32:57.:33:03.

is not just the players as well, it is Lee Jarvis and the chief going

:33:04.:33:10.

back there as well. A lovely pass to Josh Navidi but Rey Lee-Lo knocks it

:33:11.:33:12.

on. It cannot be too serious if he is

:33:13.:33:26.

still out there. Great hands. Great touch from Rhys Patchell. Just

:33:27.:33:33.

overran it a bit, Rey Lee-Lo. But you mentioned earlier, he is finding

:33:34.:33:37.

his feet. Sam Warburton is going off. Yes, he has blown away the

:33:38.:33:46.

cobwebs with just over an hour. And now Vosawai, formerly of Treviso is

:33:47.:33:52.

coming on. A change at scrum-half. The Blues will have their third

:33:53.:33:57.

captain of the evening. It was Lloyd Williams and now it is Matthew Rees.

:33:58.:34:11.

The Dragons against Edinburgh on S4C on Sunday afternoon to round off the

:34:12.:34:15.

weekend. And then the highlights of the whole weekend and a little luck

:34:16.:34:20.

at Rob Evans down on the farm, 7pm on Sunday.

:34:21.:34:33.

Josh Turnbull was refereeing that one.

:34:34.:35:05.

REFEREE: You have all just come on. When we

:35:06.:35:08.

crouch, we hold, keep the space, keep the ball and keep the Cherop

:35:09.:35:15.

until the ball is in. That is the message. Come on.

:35:16.:36:43.

Premiership team next year, that would make sense. A wealth of

:36:44.:36:52.

experience though. Pontypridd, Warriors, Scarlets, Blues.

:36:53.:37:02.

Good hands by Dillon Lewis. He managed to pick it up off the deck

:37:03.:37:08.

before Montauriol could get there. Vosawai. Gareth Anscombe. That was

:37:09.:37:20.

meant for Dan Fish. It would not sit up for him. Now it does for Hayward.

:37:21.:37:28.

Step back in to Josh Navidi in the end. Gareth Anscombe, he has it all

:37:29.:37:33.

to do himself and he may well do it. A great catch. Vosawai, did that

:37:34.:37:45.

reach or not? If he has finished that off, that was superb. If he has

:37:46.:37:51.

finished that, brilliant try. Firstly from Gareth Anscombe and if

:37:52.:37:56.

Vosawai has taken this and grounded it... Let's have a look. I think he

:37:57.:38:12.

has lost that. I think he has lost it.

:38:13.:38:22.

I think we need to see it in real time as well. Brilliant catch. I

:38:23.:38:30.

wish they would go back for the catch. I think he has lost it. The

:38:31.:38:39.

crowd have seen it on the big screen. So, so close. Bad would have

:38:40.:38:45.

been brilliant. It is a shame. Brilliant pace from Anscombe. I

:38:46.:38:51.

thought he could made it himself. He has thrown it inside. Great pace.

:38:52.:38:57.

Bounces back up. Great decision. That is brilliant on the run. That

:38:58.:39:07.

deserved a try. Vosawai was on halfway when Anscombe started it.

:39:08.:39:12.

Great support work. He is fresh, he has just come on. The applause for

:39:13.:39:23.

Dillon Lewis and Rey Lee-Lo, as they depart. Scott Andrews, now there is

:39:24.:39:29.

someone we have not seen much of this year. He has been playing a

:39:30.:39:34.

little bit at hooker for Cardiff in the Premiership. Good to see him

:39:35.:39:41.

back. Prop, second row, Hopper. He is a fantastic rugby player. Has not

:39:42.:39:46.

quite been able to nail down a spot at tight head. He is a very good

:39:47.:39:50.

rugby player in the loose. Jones once that call. -- want this

:39:51.:40:29.

fact is ball yet, in fairness, I think he did the initial clean-up of

:40:30.:40:32.

the second guy and has gone out and sealed. And that is the pressure

:40:33.:40:36.

with the back. I mentioned at the start of the game the the threat

:40:37.:40:40.

that the Blues have got in that the is really cause Treviso are other

:40:41.:40:50.

problems tonight. Vosawai got so close to a spectacular try. Now a

:40:51.:40:56.

far more conventional drive towards the try line. Over the try line. And

:40:57.:41:03.

this time, he does get his try. Yeah, not aspect Adler but I think

:41:04.:41:09.

that is a well worked try, great patience -- spectacular. Vosawai, an

:41:10.:41:16.

old and at an Treviso player. And they have thrown the Tao Lin now,

:41:17.:41:22.

Treviso, haven't they? They did not compete that time, they did not stay

:41:23.:41:30.

down and stop the drive. -- throwing the in now.

:41:31.:41:46.

They have rounded it off with one for Vosawai.

:41:47.:42:16.

Adds two more to his ever-growing total. It is Sam Warburton in a

:42:17.:42:26.

Blues jersey. How nice is it to be back in the Blues shirt? It is nice.

:42:27.:42:31.

To pick a couple of big Blues they and I was fine. It is great to be

:42:32.:42:34.

back on the pitch and by performing again. All of a sudden, the Blues

:42:35.:42:40.

could be in the mix for the top six. Our home form has been pretty good

:42:41.:42:45.

this season. And we are chasing the top six. The last two games, we have

:42:46.:42:49.

had bonus point wins and we have three massive derby is coming up,

:42:50.:42:51.

the and the Dragons. Josh Navidi carries like a number

:42:52.:43:12.

eight. We know what Gethin Jenkins can do, he fancies himself in the

:43:13.:43:14.

back row. The Blues bench getting a run out.

:43:15.:43:36.

Tom James. Thought he was going to be clean through for a second.

:43:37.:43:42.

Jarrad Hoeata. Switch to Scott Andrews. And he fancies a run. The

:43:43.:43:54.

feeling is that there is at least one more to come from the Blues. I

:43:55.:43:58.

was about to say that. I do not think they are done yet. Good pass

:43:59.:44:04.

from Rhys Patchell to Josh Turnbull. Manages to keep it alive.

:44:05.:44:11.

Evans. Pixel Rhys Patchell. Jarrad Hoeata, good hands to Dan Fish. You

:44:12.:44:22.

we go. It is on. It is Tom James account is over. The try six. To

:44:23.:44:30.

take the Blues over 40 points. Yeah, we said you decide that says they

:44:31.:44:34.

are going to be more. They should allow the line, Treviso have lost

:44:35.:44:37.

all shape. It is a great ball again from Rhys Patchell. He threw when

:44:38.:44:42.

the other side. Good ball by Jarrad Hoeata, take and give. Good decision

:44:43.:44:46.

by Dan Fish to go to the good man on the outside in Tom James. But

:44:47.:44:52.

dangerous with ball in hand all night. And good finish. With it is

:44:53.:45:09.

nice that on James. Not have the best 6-nations. A very strong and

:45:10.:45:18.

powerful winger. He has been in outstanding form the Blues Aurea. He

:45:19.:45:30.

adds the extras and the Blues are rampant. Still with evermore. One

:45:31.:45:39.

more, I think. Still with evermore. Gets ever extract the extra width on

:45:40.:45:47.

the ball. A couple of nice touches tonight. So they are attacking wise,

:45:48.:45:53.

there is stacks of talent on show for the Blues. I think they are the

:45:54.:45:58.

highest point scorers in the league apart from Connacht. Without the

:45:59.:46:00.

ball, they have struggled defensively. They are forced to be

:46:01.:46:06.

reckoned with because of all that attacking threat. Yes, second in

:46:07.:46:11.

terms of points and tries to Connacht. Treviso look for some

:46:12.:46:21.

scant crumbs of comfort. Lucchese loses it. Tom James with

:46:22.:46:49.

the early ball. He is hanging onto anything he can. Matthew Rees. Lewis

:46:50.:47:02.

Jones to Jarrod Evans. Rhys Patchell, again, looking to be the

:47:03.:47:11.

creative influence on the outside. Lewis Jones with the quick pick and

:47:12.:47:15.

go. Dan Fish is there with him. He is looking to go all the way and Dan

:47:16.:47:23.

Fish does go all the way. A great score and he has deserved it. Yes,

:47:24.:47:29.

he has. He has been electric with ball in hand. This is what always

:47:30.:47:33.

happens when Dan Fish has the ball in hand. Too much pace for a tired,

:47:34.:47:39.

tired Treviso defence. Good work by Lewis Jones, great portrait from Dan

:47:40.:47:49.

Fish. -- support play. That is his future, I think, on the wing.

:47:50.:47:54.

Matthew Morgan is predominantly a fullback next year at the Blues. He

:47:55.:48:09.

has plenty of pace. The white flag has come out from Treviso. They have

:48:10.:48:11.

just folded in the last ten minutes. He just pulls the conversion. So

:48:12.:48:29.

they stayed just shy of 50. Lewis Jones was asking for the penalty,

:48:30.:48:32.

tap and go, gives Italy. Backs himself against Hayward.

:48:33.:48:44.

Well, as Treviso take their time, they do not want to play any more.

:48:45.:48:50.

Man of the match? Quite a few have stepped their hand up. Dandridge,

:48:51.:48:53.

Rhys Patchell has done brilliantly again at 15, Josh Navidi as ever --

:48:54.:49:00.

Dan Fish. But that man right on cue, playing out of position, Josh

:49:01.:49:02.

Turnbull for me has done all the hard graft early on, line-out balls,

:49:03.:49:08.

brilliant carries, big hits, Josh Turnbull for me is the man of the

:49:09.:49:12.

match. A lovely little show and go by Evans. Back inside to Rhys

:49:13.:49:20.

Patchell. And that is try number eight for the Blues. And that does

:49:21.:49:29.

take them over 50 points. Brilliant. Treviso not the best of opposition

:49:30.:49:34.

but they have still got to executed and the Blues have done that.

:49:35.:49:37.

Exactly. They have tried to do that all night. Great play by Jarrod

:49:38.:49:41.

Evans. The little show one goal. Some health 40 was gone to pin his

:49:42.:49:45.

years back. A great ball back inside. Rhys Patchell has looked

:49:46.:49:48.

dangerous at 15 and a really well worked try from the Blues. Brilliant

:49:49.:49:56.

play by Jarrod Evans. Too smart. Too quick and it is not dying with ball

:49:57.:49:59.

in hand, it is the floor just before contact. And we said Dan Fish

:50:00.:50:04.

deserved his try, but Rhys Patchell does as well. He has been superb at

:50:05.:50:12.

15. I wonder how slow Treviso will walk to this kick-off.

:50:13.:50:23.

Two more points for Jarrod Evans, two more points for the Blues. Two

:50:24.:50:29.

seconds means they will have to play one more. They could get to 60. They

:50:30.:50:42.

do not want to kick-off. Those two in short, either one of those could

:50:43.:50:45.

have had man of the match tonight. Big performances.

:50:46.:50:50.

There are tougher games ahead for the Blues that began going to them

:50:51.:50:55.

on the back of two really good wins against Munster and Treviso. And

:50:56.:51:00.

they are a dangerous, dangerous team at the minute.

:51:01.:51:23.

Are fingering riper Treviso. -- nothing going right the Treviso.

:51:24.:51:39.

Eight tries and 56 points will do. It is a second consecutive bonus

:51:40.:51:46.

point win for the Blues. And they still have their eyes set on that

:51:47.:51:50.

sixth place. People will say it's only Treviso. But that is the kind

:51:51.:51:58.

of scoreline you should see, and that even on the beat what is in

:51:59.:52:02.

front of you. They opened up in the Shetland have and showed some great

:52:03.:52:06.

skills with ball in hand. And they are on the hunt for that top six.

:52:07.:52:10.

Six second half tries the the Blues as they eventually run rampant and

:52:11.:52:17.

Ava drag old Treviso side had no answers in the end. Another clear

:52:18.:52:25.

win, another bonus point win Treviso put to the sword by 56-8.

:52:26.:52:35.

Congratulations. How did you enjoy the second row? It is a little bit

:52:36.:52:39.

tougher than playing in the back row. It hurts on the legs and the

:52:40.:52:44.

lungs. What did it feel like playing in front of three opensides in the

:52:45.:52:50.

back? Their work in the contact area is phenomenal. You know what to

:52:51.:52:55.

expect from them and especially in the contact area, it gives as good

:52:56.:52:56.

go forward ball. Bonus point wins, the contact area, it gives as good

:52:57.:53:05.

people will say it is just Treviso at home, with the greatest of

:53:06.:53:06.

respect but we feel the at home, with the greatest of

:53:07.:53:29.

to work towards that top six. Well done. Thank you very much. So, the

:53:30.:53:39.

Blues overwhelmed Treviso in that second half. Six tries to go with

:53:40.:53:44.

the two in the first half and it really was something of a rock.

:53:45.:53:48.

Kristian Dacey crashing over from close range. Vosawai nearly crossing

:53:49.:53:51.

for what could have close range. Vosawai nearly crossing

:53:52.:55:22.

Blues had a lot of possession. In the second half, they were dominant,

:55:23.:55:25.

they were clinical, and when you play the game at that speed and

:55:26.:55:28.

puppies, it really ties the opposition out and that you could

:55:29.:55:31.

tell from the two or three tries scored at the end, but the

:55:32.:55:35.

interesting things were thing is that the Blues scored 56 points but

:55:36.:55:39.

they left for five tries out there as well. It is worrying what the

:55:40.:55:42.

score could have been if they had been a little more clinical. We can

:55:43.:55:49.

now speak to Danny Wilson. Yes, he is smiling. A great performance.

:55:50.:55:53.

That is just about what you wanted. Yes, the second half, we definitely

:55:54.:55:58.

upped our game in terms of attacking shape and our ability to cause

:55:59.:56:01.

problems with the high tempo rugby that we play on this page. They have

:56:02.:56:10.

performed really well. No injuries. That is the important thing, like

:56:11.:56:15.

you said. Produce one day, we jump above the Ospreys in the table and

:56:16.:56:18.

get ourselves the opportunity to start loosening.

:56:19.:56:31.

Our ourselves in a position where viruses on the boughs, to get back

:56:32.:56:38.

to where we are now, knowing a number of all games come out, we

:56:39.:56:40.

have won those games, Ulster Munster, tonight, couple of bonus

:56:41.:56:46.

point wins, gives as an opportunity on this service, we have to improve

:56:47.:56:49.

our home record but we are getting there. Well done and improve the

:56:50.:56:54.

derbies. They have gone ahead of the Ospreys and listening Blues fans

:56:55.:56:56.

will be celibate into my. Let's bring in Sean Holley. We have spoken

:56:57.:57:02.

with our server to the Blues wraps were trying to start to hide in the

:57:03.:57:08.

second half. They ran Julie is a ragged. They have got a style of

:57:09.:57:11.

play. They have got a style of play. Visual to conference and the end.

:57:12.:57:14.

The batch editing about as well. It is a positive light of the Michael

:57:15.:57:25.

Blues. We felt that Josh Navidi got over that on the second effort, it

:57:26.:57:28.

was good because the chorizo winger, round on the openside. And Gethin

:57:29.:57:33.

Jenkins last on to Christian Davies to power over. It is a good try is a

:57:34.:57:38.

leading dry year. A decoy midfielder look how deeply part shall Jarrad

:57:39.:57:42.

Hoeata and Dan Fish are on the outside. It is crucial because

:57:43.:57:47.

Treviso spot up in defence on the outside. Good tracking from Tom

:57:48.:57:50.

James. But there was a very good try, controlled pulling back foot

:57:51.:57:54.

speed. Lewis Jones added the impact but Dan Fish read this all the way.

:57:55.:57:58.

And showed great gas to be the very quick Hayward on the outside. It was

:57:59.:58:04.

a great second half and Danny Wilson will enjoy his beer tonight. He

:58:05.:58:07.

certainly will. Josh Turnbull is the official man of the match that there

:58:08.:58:12.

were several candidates. We... How'd Rhys Patchell is going out of

:58:13.:58:16.

position at fullback but it was a mature performance from him. He was

:58:17.:58:20.

excellent. I see you underestimate his pace. Because he has quite a

:58:21.:58:24.

long stride and he's a bit of a rangy runner, as you can see here,

:58:25.:58:29.

he runs really good support lines as well. We mentioned at half-time, he

:58:30.:58:33.

is an all-around good rugby player. He stays in support and he fully

:58:34.:58:37.

deserves that try. He could have easily been man of the match tonight

:58:38.:58:42.

as well. We do not have a great deal of time left. The Italians are a

:58:43.:58:48.

pretty dark. A Wooden Spoon in the Six Nations. Zebre beaten heavily at

:58:49.:58:52.

Munster tonight. We have seen Treviso capitulate in the second

:58:53.:58:59.

half. As a fan, which I am now, it is re-disappointing. I think the

:59:00.:59:01.

thing that frustrates me about Italian rugby is we are still

:59:02.:59:06.

talking about a lack of fitness in the second half. For me, that is

:59:07.:59:10.

unforgivable. In the modern professional age, the two things

:59:11.:59:14.

that you can improve pretty quickly is fitness and defence. They have

:59:15.:59:18.

missed sort of 37 not tackles in the game and their fitness every game,

:59:19.:59:23.

the last 20 minutes, they always die. That is inescapable. --

:59:24.:59:35.

inexcusable. To still be lacking in fitness and to be missing 30 tackles

:59:36.:59:42.

is just almost like a pub team. It is unforgivable. Kristian Dacey sat

:59:43.:59:47.

on the fence with the Murphy Pontypridd Derby. URA Bamberg should

:59:48.:59:59.

die. It is a closer study for a long time that the key fact that Alun Wyn

:00:00.:00:00.

Jones tips are congratulations to the

:00:01.:00:13.

Blues. They got a sneaking wraps to European convocations on Sunday.

:00:14.:01:35.

This is the one opportunity that I have to show them something

:01:36.:01:43.

ALL: Oooh! Mm-hm.

:01:44.:01:47.
