:00:10. > :00:14.In November, storm clouds gathered over Newport. The heavens opened
:00:14. > :00:21.and flash floods engulfed Rodney Parade. This daft tried in vain to
:00:21. > :00:24.clear the deluge. The referee was left with no choice, the match was
:00:24. > :00:29.of -- the staff tried. Five months on, these guys have cleared, spring
:00:29. > :00:39.is here and Wales are on the verge of history -- the skies have
:00:39. > :00:40.
:00:40. > :00:48.Jamie's team-mates at the blues are also on the charge, on the edge of
:00:48. > :00:52.the Pro 12 play-off zone. A win for the Blues propels them into the top
:00:52. > :01:01.four. For the Dragons, they would do anything to upset their
:01:01. > :01:02.neighbours. Last time it was water. Tonight, they will need fire. It is
:01:02. > :01:07.Tonight, they will need fire. It is the east Wales derby at Rodney
:01:07. > :01:11.Parade, no love lost between the sides. You know that the Rodney
:01:11. > :01:16.Parade faithful will give the boos a special welcome. A win for the
:01:16. > :01:25.Blues will put them back in contention for the title -- will
:01:25. > :01:29.Welcome to Scrum V Live from a mercifully dry Rodney Parade. Shane
:01:29. > :01:34.Williams and Nicky Robinson are with me. Your team, the Blues, a
:01:34. > :01:38.big night for them. They are still in contention. Of course. Europe is
:01:38. > :01:42.the main focus but they want to be in the play-offs. They have only
:01:42. > :01:47.lost one of five. They are on a decent run, they want to keep the
:01:47. > :01:51.momentum going with the European match in mind. A first Pro 12 start
:01:51. > :01:56.for Harry Robinson, he has been compared to you'd in terms of style
:01:56. > :02:00.and stature. He looks exciting. I watched him against Treviso. He is
:02:00. > :02:04.very powerful and quick and he likes taking players on. I think
:02:04. > :02:12.the conditions are perfect for him. A local derby, let's see what he
:02:12. > :02:18.The good interesting battle at 10. The Dragons with an eye on next
:02:18. > :02:21.season -- a good -- an interesting battle at 10. He has only made
:02:21. > :02:25.eight appearances this year, a young lad. These are the kinds of
:02:26. > :02:29.games you want to chuck him into. He will get experience against Dan
:02:29. > :02:33.Parks, it will be a tough battle for him. There is plenty of
:02:33. > :02:38.experience in the side with Wayne Evans and Ashley Smith. I think it
:02:38. > :02:42.would be great to chuck him in and see what he does. Let's get the
:02:42. > :02:46.coaches perspective. interesting selection, you have
:02:46. > :02:50.picked Lewis Robling instead of Jason Tovey at fly half, is that
:02:50. > :02:55.with an eye to the future? Louis Robling is a player for the future,
:02:55. > :02:58.but it is a reflection of his past performance against Munster. He
:02:58. > :03:02.started at 10 in that game and he played well and he deserves to be
:03:02. > :03:05.out there. You are playing for pride now but how much pride with a
:03:05. > :03:09.win over the old enemy give you? is a great occasion and it would
:03:09. > :03:13.give us a lot of confidence, particularly going into next year.
:03:13. > :03:17.It will be another tough season and we need to put down a marker.
:03:17. > :03:21.matches between the old enemies, the Dragons and Blues are a must
:03:21. > :03:26.win games. Given way you are in the table, how much of a must win is
:03:26. > :03:30.it? It is a vital match. If you look at the table, coming into the
:03:30. > :03:36.end of the season, we want to be in a position to compete for the top
:03:36. > :03:41.floor. This becomes a stepping- stone for that. Have a good one.
:03:41. > :03:45.It's -- the top four. What are you looking out for in the analysis
:03:45. > :03:50.truck? Lots of interesting battles across the field. The front five,
:03:50. > :03:55.there is a lot of inexperience and in derby matches, experience comes.
:03:55. > :03:59.A big test for Leighton Hodges, the referee. The most intriguing battle
:03:59. > :04:03.is in the number seven shirt. We have Martyn Williams, all of the
:04:03. > :04:09.top has been about the other number sevens but he will have a big say
:04:09. > :04:15.in this game. Opposite him, Darren Waters, the Dragons have given him
:04:15. > :04:21.a chance. Look out for him, a very intriguing battle.
:04:21. > :04:25.Thank you very much. At half-time tonight, you will hear from one of
:04:25. > :04:29.Wales rugby's biggest fans, David Hasselhoff. I am being serious. We
:04:29. > :04:34.spoke to him briefly before the game. The teams are on their way
:04:34. > :04:39.out. If you want to get the commentary in Welsh, it is
:04:39. > :04:49.available on the good button. Rick O'Shea is in the RedZone. Tom
:04:49. > :04:54.
:04:54. > :05:02.Willis joins him. We can cross to water puns tonight, we're all set
:05:02. > :05:07.for what should be a cracking East Wales derby. Macauley Cook replaces
:05:07. > :05:14.the injured Paul Tito. A wealth of experience in the back row
:05:14. > :05:24.including the ever-present Michael Paton son. -- Paterson. Ban Hewett
:05:24. > :05:30.
:05:30. > :05:37.takes over from Sweeney in the letting the Blues feel the cold and
:05:37. > :05:44.trying to get focused on the task in hand. It is interesting to see
:05:44. > :05:46.Dan Parks doing as much a talking as anybody in the middle. Departing
:05:46. > :05:50.at the end of the season for Connacht, but still wants to make
:05:50. > :05:57.his presence felt this evening. What a contrast between him and
:05:57. > :06:02.Lewis Robling. Absolutely. It is an experienced Blues front five and
:06:02. > :06:12.their back row might dominate. If they deliver good ball, canon Parks
:06:12. > :06:12.
:06:12. > :06:22.fire the boos? -- canned Parks via the Blues? A welcome for the home
:06:22. > :06:30.
:06:30. > :06:40.side, led out by as Lee Smith. -- after mission his only game of the
:06:40. > :06:45.
:06:45. > :06:51.season -- missing his only game of evening at Rodney Parade, for Ken
:06:51. > :06:56.James, the 59-year-old deputy conductor of the Dragons choir, and
:06:57. > :07:06.a very keen Dragons supporter. He unfortunately died in accident on
:07:06. > :07:13.the way home from supporting Wales against Italy last weekend. There
:07:13. > :07:23.is a moment's silence, and then, hopefully, there will be some

:08:25. > :08:34.singing as well, because of the For Ken James. Leighton Hodges is
:08:34. > :08:38.the man in charge this evening. As the Blues looked to go back into
:08:39. > :08:48.the play-off positions and the Dragons look to continue their
:08:49. > :09:10.
:09:10. > :09:20.history of the our nose, all two captain's, battling for the

:09:32. > :09:37.Brown played one game for the Blues last year after joining from
:09:37. > :09:42.Doncaster, before moving on to the Dragons this year. A penalty at the
:09:42. > :09:47.first breakdown. Irony in that, speaking to the Dragons coaches
:09:47. > :09:57.before the game. They were concerned about discipline at the
:09:57. > :09:58.
:09:58. > :10:03.breakdown. The first one, a penalty Paris, we saw a glut of penalties
:10:03. > :10:13.against the team who are going for it. And the first one, exactly in
:10:13. > :10:20.
:10:20. > :10:26.the same vein this evening. -- who wants to play enterprising rugby
:10:26. > :10:36.thinks twice about doing so, because they are getting penalised
:10:36. > :10:52.
:10:52. > :10:58.defensive kicking, but that will do. Going back to your point about the
:10:58. > :11:01.ruck, last week, he killed the game but he could probably justify every
:11:01. > :11:07.penalty he gave and he could probably have given it another 10
:11:07. > :11:13.or 20, because the ruck is a complete shambles. The IRB have to
:11:13. > :11:18.look at how they refereed that game because there is a law broken every
:11:18. > :11:28.ruck at the moment. I understand there is -- they are going to try
:11:28. > :12:00.
:12:00. > :12:10.some variations next year, to see support runners of the Blues. --
:12:10. > :12:14.
:12:14. > :12:19.for gold. -- goal. Not always easy for the referee to pick these
:12:19. > :12:29.angles up. He is not running towards the ball, he is looking at
:12:29. > :12:50.
:12:50. > :12:53.the man. Clearly looking to block Connacht will be getting next year,
:12:53. > :12:59.but it is what the Blues want for the rest of the season to keep
:12:59. > :13:09.alive their challenge. A cheap penalty and Jevon Groves knees to

:13:21. > :13:26.be more subtle in running those the forwards and it is a first
:13:26. > :13:32.touch for Harry Robinson. He came off the bench in Treviso last game
:13:32. > :13:38.out, and he scored a very impressive try. Paterson's pass,
:13:38. > :13:48.Jevon Groves, it is a try! It is a gift. After giving away a penalty,
:13:48. > :13:48.
:13:48. > :13:58.he more than makes up for it by scoring the try. A very busy start
:13:58. > :14:05.for Jevon Groves. Certainly putting his name forward immediately. This
:14:05. > :14:15.is a cheap one. There was no one behind. If the penalty was a cheap

:21:00. > :21:01.
:21:01. > :21:07.careful at the breakdown. Gavin Evans, just tackling, there he is.
:21:07. > :21:17.Well, he starts behind the ball. This gait seems to be getting
:21:17. > :21:26.
:21:26. > :21:36.smaller and smaller. It is more of all taking advantage of the fact
:21:36. > :21:54.
:21:54. > :22:00.And it is him. That takes the Dragons up to double figures.
:22:00. > :22:06.Robinson is with me. A very confident start by Antrim. Exactly.

:22:20. > :22:26.scrappy first quarter of an hour. Thank you. We saw Antrim, that was
:22:26. > :22:36.a nightmare. And that is a quick run by Tom Brown. There was no

:22:36. > :23:24.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds
:23:24. > :23:34.blind, and he takes a chance. A great breakout. In fairness, Smith

:24:04. > :24:11.tackle. But there is such a fine some folding. The Dragons are
:24:11. > :24:21.mindful of penalties at the breakdown. It is showing. Sam Parry,

:24:23. > :24:33.he has come off the bench, but he is on temporarily this time. There

:27:27. > :27:48.
:27:48. > :27:58.the ball. And he goes. Tuilagi was James. He can thank Richie Rees for
:27:58. > :28:13.
:28:13. > :28:21.not gone through the post. The Dragons hold on to that lead.
:28:21. > :28:25.That rip back Richie Rees, is that something that is coach? It is. The

:53:56. > :54:00.the tries. Both have come from turnovers. That
:54:00. > :54:06.is the nature of the game in the first half. The Dragons are trying
:54:06. > :54:11.to suck the Blues over to the far side. The kick is not good enough.

:55:02. > :55:06.When the Blues play with a bit of width, he does create a few

:55:15. > :55:20.and he has had a very good first half. The scrum battle. We have
:55:20. > :55:25.been taking a closer look. I do not profess to know too much
:55:26. > :55:30.about scrums, but look at this. They are looking for a bind and all

:58:00. > :58:08.against Ireland, a great offload, and he won the game. Alex has been
:58:08. > :58:16.playing well. But Scotland have been playing well as well. Wales,
:58:16. > :58:22.they have been playing with great confidence. They're all playing
:58:22. > :58:28.well together and the good thing is even when we do lose a player with
:58:28. > :58:33.injury, they can come on and win a game against England. To be fair,
:58:33. > :58:38.they are doing very well. And, hopefully, they can do the same on
:58:38. > :58:42.Saturday. We thought we would be missing you at this point, but the
:58:42. > :58:46.boys are doing pretty well without you. I am enjoying watching them at
:58:46. > :58:51.the moment and I am very proud of the way they have conducted
:58:51. > :58:59.themselves in the Six Nations and they deserve a Grand Slam.
:58:59. > :59:07.let's go back to Sean. The defence has been pretty mean as well.
:59:07. > :59:16.This team has got a good system. Let's take a look at this club.
:59:16. > :59:19.There is a clear physical mantra. The one thing about this team is
:59:19. > :59:24.they are dying for the cause, putting bodies on the line and
:59:24. > :59:30.doing anything to prevent any score happening. They have not conceded a
:59:30. > :59:38.try in the last two games. The load tackle brings in Warbleton to steal
:59:38. > :59:42.the ball. I have to say, it is a sound Wales defence. One thing we
:59:42. > :59:47.need to look for is the very last thing this team will do before the
:59:47. > :59:51.kick-off is run to the try-line and put in some key hits with Shaun
:59:51. > :59:54.Edwards, saying to France, this is our line and you are not coming
:59:54. > :59:57.over it. We promised to this at the top of
:59:57. > :00:05.the programme, Wales have recruited a bizarre fan to their growing army.
:00:05. > :00:10.It is David hassle of and respect him earlier. I asked him if he had
:00:10. > :00:20.a favoured player. The guy that stopped the try when they play the
:00:20. > :00:22.
:00:22. > :00:32.UK, it was an amazing game. When the guys stole the ball and school

:00:55. > :00:59.passion that be was people have for the game, it is intoxicating.
:00:59. > :01:03.than 48 hours to go, the whole of Wales is gripped by Grand Slam
:01:03. > :01:13.fever and it seems that a tiny corner of ally as waste -- as well.
:01:13. > :01:18.
:01:18. > :01:21.What is going happen on Saturday? - It is funny. Hayley said, I think
:01:21. > :01:25.an interesting bet would be to put money on Wales to wins the Grand
:01:25. > :01:31.Slam and damage, she was right. I think we are going to get revenge
:01:31. > :01:35.on France. A think something strange will happen because it
:01:36. > :01:41.always happens with the French. But the fact that England beat France,
:01:41. > :01:49.and the fact that Ireland tied with France, think it is time for Wales
:01:49. > :01:59.to showed France up. But Inga will be 19-15 to Wales. David, you are

:02:07. > :02:13.an honorary Welshman, will come There is a full interview with him
:02:13. > :02:18.on Wales today tomorrow night. Mick is back in the studio. He's very
:02:18. > :02:22.confident, what do you think is going to happen? He is looking
:02:22. > :02:28.forward to a lot of touchdowns, which will be new for rugby! He is
:02:28. > :02:32.getting into the passionate and well looking forward to the game.
:02:32. > :02:36.France come to Cardiff with a decent record. It will be
:02:36. > :02:39.unexpected, what the French side bring. They are on the back of a
:02:39. > :02:44.loss last week so they will be well up for the game. They haven't got a
:02:44. > :02:47.huge amount to play for. It is going to be a tough game with a
:02:47. > :02:54.huge amount of pressure on the boys but no doubt they will be looking
:02:54. > :02:58.forward to it. Let's turn our attention back to the Pro 12,
:02:58. > :03:03.finely poised, what do you think will happen? I hope it can open up
:03:03. > :03:08.a bit, I hope we get more rugby and both sides keep hold of the ball.
:03:08. > :03:12.I'm sure the Dragons' backs will want to get their hands on the ball
:03:12. > :03:16.a bit more instead of scrums. It has got to get better. Both teams
:03:17. > :03:26.have got to go for the jugular and win the game. Let's hope it gets
:03:27. > :03:50.
:03:50. > :03:58.better. It is nearly time to get red button, that is where you'll
:03:58. > :04:01.find Rick O'Shea and Tom West. Let's turn back to our team. -- Tom

:04:14. > :04:24.there has been a real shake-up in both changing rooms in half-time.
:04:24. > :04:37.
:04:37. > :04:43.And in the third changing room of opening passage of play, we don't

:32:53. > :32:57.Blues. The Dragons are losing theirs defensively. A great steel
:32:57. > :33:02.again by the Dragons. So many turnovers in this game. We haven't

:33:07. > :33:11.tackle in, he couldn't get a tidy pass to the two men on the outside.
:33:12. > :33:17.It is worth throwing the pass if you can, there was space and

:33:32. > :33:41.
:33:41. > :33:51.and look at how he is mad. It is Dan Way, up and backwards. A good

:39:54. > :39:57.first half. The coaching staff made five changes out of the Six in the
:39:57. > :40:01.front row and we have seen a bit more emphasis on trying to play a
:40:01. > :40:07.from scrums. I realise it is a difficult night, but from a coach's

:41:43. > :41:50.superbly done. What a try from Tonderai Chavhanga! He just about
:41:50. > :41:59.gathered it over the try-line. That could be a match-winner from --
:41:59. > :42:08.from Chavhanga. It looked good from here. He lost it, does he regather
:42:08. > :42:13.it? Yes, he does! In contact, as well. He loses it in contact, he
:42:13. > :42:23.regathers it in contact and that is great finishing. I have a decision,

:42:32. > :42:37.A great pass to put him on the outside. He backed himself to get

:42:44. > :42:54.about when they threw the miss-pass, and didn't he throw it well. It is

:48:19. > :48:23.the excitement and to the the clearance kick goes in. The
:48:23. > :48:28.referee is down. He has done his knee in. That is all we need now, a
:48:28. > :48:38.change of referee for the last three minutes. It is his calf,
:48:38. > :48:44.
:48:44. > :48:54.rather than his knee. He took a little knock. He had it coming!
:48:54. > :48:59.
:48:59. > :49:09.That was Mike Paterson. I thought it was Dan Way. But he is OK. He is

:51:38. > :51:45.kitchen sink in. Accidental offside. Huge relief for the crowd of just
:51:45. > :51:52.under 8,000 or just a portion of the crowd supporting the home side.

:52:02. > :52:26.
:52:26. > :52:36.have a few rucks, to sue the last through, the Dragons, and it will
:52:36. > :52:39.
:52:39. > :52:49.see them home. Sidoli does the first one. Dragons take as long as
:52:49. > :52:53.
:52:53. > :52:57.they possibly can. Lewis Evans... Time isn't over yet. But now it
:52:57. > :53:06.will be. It is safe to put the ball might in the back now. The crowd
:53:06. > :53:09.realises it. That will do for the Dragons. Only a second win against
:53:09. > :53:18.the Blues in 11 meetings and the Blues have been denied the chance
:53:18. > :53:23.to go back into the play-off places in a tight fought contest.
:53:23. > :53:33.Chavhanga's try caused the decider. The Dragons have overcome the
:53:33. > :53:35.
:53:35. > :53:38.bruise, 18-14. -- the Blues. Ultimately, a moment of magic by
:53:38. > :53:45.Chavhanga, juggling the ball back over the line and sealing it for
:53:45. > :53:48.the Dragons. A great try. It was classic. A great player. I have
:53:48. > :53:51.played against him and number of times and he is one of the quickest
:53:52. > :53:58.players in the world and it was nice to see him stretch his legs
:53:58. > :54:01.today. I was hoping to see him start the game, but he came on and
:54:01. > :54:08.won kit for the Dragons. They should not have won it in the
:54:08. > :54:18.second half. He is lightning-fast. I think we might get a chance to
:54:18. > :54:20.
:54:20. > :54:27.see the try. Talk us the lowered. Knobs -- Robinson gets caught in it.
:54:27. > :54:34.I mean, Richie Rees is quick, too, but Chavhanga held on to the ball.
:54:35. > :54:38.A great touch down. We can go now to Tonderai Chavhanga.
:54:38. > :54:45.My congratulations on the wing and try.
:54:45. > :54:49.Talk us through it. I would like to say to my wife, happy anniversary.
:54:49. > :54:56.Anyway, there was only one man in front of me, I got a good bounce
:54:56. > :55:02.and scored. Did you know as soon as he got the ball, hang on, I have
:55:02. > :55:07.got something? There was nobody in front of me, and I had a chance. I
:55:07. > :55:15.saw a fullback come in, and I thought, let me chipped it over.
:55:15. > :55:23.great try. Week to go to Sean. -- we can go.
:55:23. > :55:28.The Man of the Match. Waters, he was all over the game. He was doing
:55:28. > :55:35.some subtle things. Pouncing on the ball, showing urgency. He showed
:55:35. > :55:43.great agility, not just on the floor but also winning the ball. It
:55:43. > :55:51.was all action performance. It is well deserved. A big dent for the
:55:51. > :55:56.Blues title ambitions. Sorry, we have Darren Waters now.
:55:56. > :56:02.Well done on the man-of-the-match performance. Was it as tight as it
:56:02. > :56:12.looked? My first a regional Dobbie, absolutely savage, but we came away
:56:12. > :56:12.
:56:12. > :56:18.with a win. -- a regional Derby. It has been the same all season. But
:56:18. > :56:26.we Paul Dickov tonight. What about confidence? A great boost and team
:56:26. > :56:30.morale will build. Well done on man-of-the-match. Congratulations.
:56:30. > :56:38.A battle-scarred Darren Waters. Let's look at the table. The Blues,
:56:38. > :56:42.in 7th. As we were saying, they will be disappointed. I think they
:56:42. > :56:51.thought this was a good chance to get into the top four. It is hard
:56:51. > :56:57.The way the game went in the first half, they thought they might get
:56:57. > :57:01.territory and get some points, and there was that one moment that
:57:01. > :57:08.turned it, but the Dragons only chance in the second half which
:57:08. > :57:13.they took. They possibly deserved the win. Their defence was docket.
:57:13. > :57:21.When a flanker gets Man of the Match, it is a very scrappy affair.
:57:21. > :57:28.The Ospreys, in a good position now? After their home last, it
:57:28. > :57:33.could have gone another way, but it is all to play for. We will have to
