In November, storm clouds gathered over Newport. The heavens opened

:00:10.:00:14.

and flash floods engulfed Rodney Parade. This daft tried in vain to

:00:14.:00:21.

clear the deluge. The referee was left with no choice, the match was

:00:21.:00:24.

of -- the staff tried. Five months on, these guys have cleared, spring

:00:24.:00:29.

is here and Wales are on the verge of history -- the skies have

:00:29.:00:39.
:00:39.:00:40.

Jamie's team-mates at the blues are also on the charge, on the edge of

:00:40.:00:48.

the Pro 12 play-off zone. A win for the Blues propels them into the top

:00:48.:00:52.

four. For the Dragons, they would do anything to upset their

:00:52.:01:01.

neighbours. Last time it was water. Tonight, they will need fire. It is

:01:01.:01:02.

Tonight, they will need fire. It is the east Wales derby at Rodney

:01:02.:01:07.

Parade, no love lost between the sides. You know that the Rodney

:01:07.:01:11.

Parade faithful will give the boos a special welcome. A win for the

:01:11.:01:16.

Blues will put them back in contention for the title -- will

:01:16.:01:25.

Welcome to Scrum V Live from a mercifully dry Rodney Parade. Shane

:01:25.:01:29.

Williams and Nicky Robinson are with me. Your team, the Blues, a

:01:29.:01:34.

big night for them. They are still in contention. Of course. Europe is

:01:34.:01:38.

the main focus but they want to be in the play-offs. They have only

:01:38.:01:42.

lost one of five. They are on a decent run, they want to keep the

:01:42.:01:47.

momentum going with the European match in mind. A first Pro 12 start

:01:47.:01:51.

for Harry Robinson, he has been compared to you'd in terms of style

:01:51.:01:56.

and stature. He looks exciting. I watched him against Treviso. He is

:01:56.:02:00.

very powerful and quick and he likes taking players on. I think

:02:00.:02:04.

the conditions are perfect for him. A local derby, let's see what he

:02:04.:02:12.

The good interesting battle at 10. The Dragons with an eye on next

:02:12.:02:18.

season -- a good -- an interesting battle at 10. He has only made

:02:18.:02:21.

eight appearances this year, a young lad. These are the kinds of

:02:21.:02:25.

games you want to chuck him into. He will get experience against Dan

:02:26.:02:29.

Parks, it will be a tough battle for him. There is plenty of

:02:29.:02:33.

experience in the side with Wayne Evans and Ashley Smith. I think it

:02:33.:02:38.

would be great to chuck him in and see what he does. Let's get the

:02:38.:02:42.

coaches perspective. interesting selection, you have

:02:42.:02:46.

picked Lewis Robling instead of Jason Tovey at fly half, is that

:02:46.:02:50.

with an eye to the future? Louis Robling is a player for the future,

:02:50.:02:55.

but it is a reflection of his past performance against Munster. He

:02:55.:02:58.

started at 10 in that game and he played well and he deserves to be

:02:58.:03:02.

out there. You are playing for pride now but how much pride with a

:03:02.:03:05.

win over the old enemy give you? is a great occasion and it would

:03:05.:03:09.

give us a lot of confidence, particularly going into next year.

:03:09.:03:13.

It will be another tough season and we need to put down a marker.

:03:13.:03:17.

matches between the old enemies, the Dragons and Blues are a must

:03:17.:03:21.

win games. Given way you are in the table, how much of a must win is

:03:21.:03:26.

it? It is a vital match. If you look at the table, coming into the

:03:26.:03:30.

end of the season, we want to be in a position to compete for the top

:03:30.:03:36.

floor. This becomes a stepping- stone for that. Have a good one.

:03:36.:03:41.

It's -- the top four. What are you looking out for in the analysis

:03:41.:03:45.

truck? Lots of interesting battles across the field. The front five,

:03:45.:03:50.

there is a lot of inexperience and in derby matches, experience comes.

:03:50.:03:55.

A big test for Leighton Hodges, the referee. The most intriguing battle

:03:55.:03:59.

is in the number seven shirt. We have Martyn Williams, all of the

:03:59.:04:03.

top has been about the other number sevens but he will have a big say

:04:03.:04:09.

in this game. Opposite him, Darren Waters, the Dragons have given him

:04:09.:04:15.

a chance. Look out for him, a very intriguing battle.

:04:15.:04:21.

Thank you very much. At half-time tonight, you will hear from one of

:04:21.:04:25.

Wales rugby's biggest fans, David Hasselhoff. I am being serious. We

:04:25.:04:29.

spoke to him briefly before the game. The teams are on their way

:04:29.:04:34.

out. If you want to get the commentary in Welsh, it is

:04:34.:04:39.

available on the good button. Rick O'Shea is in the RedZone. Tom

:04:39.:04:49.
:04:49.:04:54.

Willis joins him. We can cross to water puns tonight, we're all set

:04:54.:05:02.

for what should be a cracking East Wales derby. Macauley Cook replaces

:05:02.:05:07.

the injured Paul Tito. A wealth of experience in the back row

:05:07.:05:14.

including the ever-present Michael Paton son. -- Paterson. Ban Hewett

takes over from Sweeney in the letting the Blues feel the cold and

:05:30.:05:37.

trying to get focused on the task in hand. It is interesting to see

:05:37.:05:44.

Dan Parks doing as much a talking as anybody in the middle. Departing

:05:44.:05:46.

at the end of the season for Connacht, but still wants to make

:05:46.:05:50.

his presence felt this evening. What a contrast between him and

:05:50.:05:57.

Lewis Robling. Absolutely. It is an experienced Blues front five and

:05:57.:06:02.

their back row might dominate. If they deliver good ball, canon Parks

:06:02.:06:12.

season -- missing his only game of evening at Rodney Parade, for Ken

James, the 59-year-old deputy conductor of the Dragons choir, and

:06:51.:06:56.

a very keen Dragons supporter. He unfortunately died in accident on

:06:57.:07:06.

the way home from supporting Wales against Italy last weekend. There

:07:06.:07:13.

is a moment's silence, and then, hopefully, there will be some

singing as well, because of the For Ken James. Leighton Hodges is

:08:25.:08:34.

the man in charge this evening. As the Blues looked to go back into

:08:34.:08:38.

the play-off positions and the Dragons look to continue their

:08:39.:08:48.
:08:49.:09:10.

history of the our nose, all two captain's, battling for the

:09:10.:09:20.
:09:20.:09:32.

Brown played one game for the Blues last year after joining from

:09:32.:09:37.

Doncaster, before moving on to the Dragons this year. A penalty at the

:09:37.:09:42.

first breakdown. Irony in that, speaking to the Dragons coaches

:09:42.:09:47.

before the game. They were concerned about discipline at the

:09:47.:09:57.
:09:57.:09:58.

breakdown. The first one, a penalty Paris, we saw a glut of penalties

:09:58.:10:03.

against the team who are going for it. And the first one, exactly in

:10:03.:10:13.
:10:13.:10:20.

the same vein this evening. -- who wants to play enterprising rugby

:10:20.:10:26.

thinks twice about doing so, because they are getting penalised

:10:26.:10:36.
:10:36.:10:52.

defensive kicking, but that will do. Going back to your point about the

:10:52.:10:58.

ruck, last week, he killed the game but he could probably justify every

:10:58.:11:01.

penalty he gave and he could probably have given it another 10

:11:01.:11:07.

or 20, because the ruck is a complete shambles. The IRB have to

:11:07.:11:13.

look at how they refereed that game because there is a law broken every

:11:13.:11:18.

ruck at the moment. I understand there is -- they are going to try

:11:18.:11:28.
:11:28.:12:00.

some variations next year, to see support runners of the Blues. --

:12:00.:12:10.
:12:10.:12:14.

for gold. -- goal. Not always easy for the referee to pick these

:12:14.:12:19.

angles up. He is not running towards the ball, he is looking at

:12:19.:12:29.
:12:29.:12:50.

the man. Clearly looking to block Connacht will be getting next year,

:12:50.:12:53.

but it is what the Blues want for the rest of the season to keep

:12:53.:12:59.

alive their challenge. A cheap penalty and Jevon Groves knees to

:12:59.:13:09.
:13:09.:13:21.

be more subtle in running those the forwards and it is a first

:13:21.:13:26.

touch for Harry Robinson. He came off the bench in Treviso last game

:13:26.:13:32.

out, and he scored a very impressive try. Paterson's pass,

:13:32.:13:38.

Jevon Groves, it is a try! It is a gift. After giving away a penalty,

:13:38.:13:48.
:13:48.:13:48.

he more than makes up for it by scoring the try. A very busy start

:13:48.:13:58.

for Jevon Groves. Certainly putting his name forward immediately. This

:13:58.:14:05.

is a cheap one. There was no one behind. If the penalty was a cheap

:14:05.:14:15.
:14:15.:14:24.

score, tries don't get gifted much Jevon Groves gets his first try for

:14:24.:14:34.
:14:34.:14:49.

Dragons team and crowd see them open up a 7-3 lead. It was Groves

:14:49.:14:59.
:14:59.:14:59.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

putting the pressure on, and he into action, featured in the last

:15:54.:16:01.

nine games after the captain was forced to retire. And they have

:16:01.:16:11.
:16:11.:16:18.

they do tend to play it is similar way. They built that way and it

:17:21.:17:39.

captain this evening. Quite a went up. To the fat -- in fairness

:17:39.:17:44.

to the referee, he has had a word to both hookers, he has asked both

:17:44.:17:50.

front rows to take the hit, no one is coming along to watch after

:17:50.:18:00.
:18:00.:18:00.

research. -- reset. It is about hands on the deck. On the loose

get so little time. The tackler, then two Dragons end, over the ball.

:19:07.:19:10.

Supposedly on their feet, but they were in touch with everybody else

:19:10.:19:20.
:19:20.:19:37.

the Caulker who is out of action at the moment. -- it is the cooker.

:19:37.:19:41.

Somebody else is going to have to do the job for him. Or they will

:19:41.:19:51.
:19:51.:19:51.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

:19:51.:20:45.

when wingers used to throw in! That behind the back feet. But I think

:20:45.:20:50.

that both teams will know by now that they have got to be ultra

:20:50.:21:00.
:21:00.:21:01.

careful at the breakdown. Gavin Evans, just tackling, there he is.

:21:01.:21:07.

Well, he starts behind the ball. This gait seems to be getting

:21:07.:21:17.
:21:17.:21:26.

smaller and smaller. It is more of all taking advantage of the fact

:21:26.:21:36.
:21:36.:21:54.

And it is him. That takes the Dragons up to double figures.

:21:54.:22:00.

Robinson is with me. A very confident start by Antrim. Exactly.

:22:00.:22:06.

He wants to get the ball in his hand and get some confidence

:22:06.:22:12.

boosting kicks. The Dragons have had a huge amount of wall. It is a

:22:12.:22:20.

scrappy first quarter of an hour. Thank you. We saw Antrim, that was

:22:20.:22:26.

a nightmare. And that is a quick run by Tom Brown. There was no

:22:26.:22:36.
:22:36.:22:36.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

:22:36.:23:24.

blind, and he takes a chance. A great breakout. In fairness, Smith

:23:24.:23:34.
:23:34.:24:04.

tackle. But there is such a fine some folding. The Dragons are

:24:04.:24:11.

mindful of penalties at the breakdown. It is showing. Sam Parry,

:24:11.:24:21.
:24:21.:24:23.

he has come off the bench, but he is on temporarily this time. There

:24:23.:24:33.
:24:33.:24:34.

we go, tackle. Yes. He is not helped by the bodies on top, but

:24:34.:24:44.
:24:44.:24:48.

Richie Rees gave them a chance. -- no chance. Young Antrim had an

:25:44.:25:54.
:25:54.:25:54.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

:25:54.:26:55.

And that is a turnover ball. And Tom James with an unexpected gift,

:26:55.:27:00.

taking the Blues back within a conversion. Richie Rees, the

:27:00.:27:05.

smallest man in the back line, rippling the ball off Andy Tuilagi.

:27:05.:27:11.

I'm not sure, but that is how it seemed. He did all the work, the

:27:11.:27:17.

tackle, the Ripper and the feet. Yes, it is Richie Rees. He offers

:27:17.:27:27.
:27:27.:27:48.

the ball. And he goes. Tuilagi was James. He can thank Richie Rees for

:27:48.:27:58.
:27:58.:28:13.

not gone through the post. The Dragons hold on to that lead.

:28:13.:28:21.

That rip back Richie Rees, is that something that is coach? It is. The

:28:21.:28:25.

defensive coaches are bringing that in. If you can knock the ball out

:28:25.:28:33.

and forced a knock-on or steal the ball, wrap the ball up, and a great

:28:33.:28:43.
:28:43.:28:43.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

:28:43.:29:48.

to grab it, he misses it, no knock- on. If he kept his hands down, he

:29:48.:29:58.
:29:58.:30:15.

could of got away with it. -- could Will Harries, that is where the

:30:15.:30:25.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

:30:26.:32:06.

on their feet and to deliver the Buck, but they went down on both

:32:06.:32:15.

sides. They really are hitting it with some force, aren't they?

:32:15.:32:20.

I am not sure Scott Andrews is blameless. But he is getting the

:32:20.:32:30.
:32:30.:32:33.

something. Yes, we talked about the battle at seven before the game.

:32:33.:32:39.

Somebody is winning the race already, Darren Waters. We see a

:32:39.:32:43.

couple of examples of him just winning the race. He gets down on

:32:43.:32:53.
:32:53.:33:14.

seven is one that will develop during the game. Certainly, the

:33:14.:33:19.

Dragons lack the breakdown in the opening stages -- at the breakdown

:33:19.:33:23.

in the opening stages, having the slight edge. Jones does come back

:33:23.:33:33.
:33:33.:33:46.

Nathans with him, used his experience. A five caps for Wales.

:33:46.:33:56.
:33:56.:33:58.

like that all game, just get the props of the field, we will have a

:33:59.:34:07.

game without them. It is the same issue. I am not sure who has called

:34:07.:34:16.

it this side, but both going down. At the moment we're hitting down.

:34:16.:34:26.
:34:26.:34:30.

conversation but he is not getting any. Leighton Hodges wants them to

:34:40.:34:40.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

:34:40.:35:21.

hit up, they are going down at the problem. I think he slipped a bit.

:35:21.:35:31.
:35:31.:35:54.

The conditions are OK, no wind to is a knock-on advantage to the

:35:54.:36:04.
:36:04.:36:12.

mess. -- the breakdown is a bit armours. It is a mess because no

:36:12.:36:22.
:36:22.:36:46.

one goes through the ruck. -- a bit Andrews on that occasion. He has

:36:46.:36:56.
:36:56.:36:56.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

:36:56.:38:13.

Andrews for the Blues, Nathan lost their structure, despite it

:38:13.:38:22.

being turnover ball. He had no option to run it. There was a

:38:22.:38:28.

player in front of him but no option, really, so got it up the

:38:29.:38:38.
:38:39.:38:43.

field. You still don't feel the happen, it is hard to build any

:38:43.:38:52.

kind of platform or pattern. It will be a Dragons throw, because...

:38:52.:38:56.

No, it was called off black, so in the tackle I think it must have

:38:56.:39:06.
:39:06.:39:35.

Michael Paterson has come to have a to alleviate the pressure, that is

:39:35.:39:44.

what the Blues want to see. Rush making ground. It comes as a bit of

:39:44.:39:50.

a surprise in those positions, when you think the scrum-half has passed

:39:50.:40:00.
:40:00.:40:08.

Blues, Xavier Rush. It is getting a bit embarrassing to keep giving him

:40:08.:40:18.
:40:18.:40:38.

the man-of-the-match award! There tackle by Richie Rees called?

:40:38.:40:46.

tackle, blue nine. Yes, nothing bad in it. It is around the neck,

:40:46.:40:56.
:40:56.:40:56.

The continuity or tempo or flow. -- pulled it to the left. -- he pulled

:41:52.:42:02.
:42:02.:42:07.

Dragons coach. How important is it that you hold the lead until half-

:42:07.:42:13.

time? Really important, we want them to chase the game and that is

:42:13.:42:17.

when we can start to force some errors. You're not happy with the

:42:17.:42:22.

scrummage. No, the referee is setting them up too far apart and

:42:22.:42:25.

every one of the scrums is going to go to the floor, it is ridiculous

:42:25.:42:31.

at the moment. A quick word of the -- on the try, off the training

:42:31.:42:41.
:42:41.:42:43.

paddock question but I would love troubling him. Evans, putting the

:42:43.:42:49.

blues on the front foot. We haven't seen either side going through any

:42:49.:42:59.
:42:59.:43:06.

Williams from Tuilagi. The support was there. Macauley Cook. Slips the

:43:06.:43:14.

tackle again. The second time he has done that. Parks. Check catch

:43:14.:43:24.
:43:24.:43:44.

It really is so imprecise by both teams. He has had some good runs

:43:44.:43:48.

but when you have a guy like that taking the ball you want him coming

:43:48.:43:58.
:43:58.:44:00.

again, the agency he is showing. He is winning the race again. You can

:44:00.:44:04.

see him winning the ball with the aid of Tom Brown. Darren Waters is

:44:04.:44:14.
:44:14.:44:15.

up for it, winning the ball for ahead at the moment. Great patience

:44:15.:44:25.
:44:25.:44:52.

over the ball, just waited, picks point we made earlier. They are so

:44:52.:45:02.

far apart and coming in with such Darren Waters. -- in the hands of.

:45:28.:45:33.

He is always going to be on the wrong side of the ball because you

:45:33.:45:41.

want to set the ball up. There we are, Waters, battle for the ball.

:45:41.:45:45.

That is exactly what any rugby player would do. They would do just

:45:45.:45:52.

that to try to secure position -- possession for your side. It gets

opened up a line on the inside. see, Martyn Thomas, we can see what

:51:05.:51:12.

is that we have got a try apiece. But hardly the most creative effort

:51:12.:51:17.

you have seen in your life. Still, plenty to play for in the second

:51:27.:51:32.

half. Dragons at half-time leading An error, and the try. Why is the

:51:32.:51:38.

game so bad? Of the scrums are scrappy. In the lineouts, both

:51:38.:51:44.

sides are contesting so neither side can get a good ball or get

:51:44.:51:50.

into the flow. They are trying to offload when they cannot. We have

:51:50.:52:00.
:52:00.:52:01.

seen both tries from turnovers. they get some phases going? In the

:52:01.:52:07.

second half, the Blues will look to play in the Dragons 22. A lot of

:52:07.:52:11.

play has been in the grey his own when neither side can get

:52:11.:52:16.

ascendancy. Hopefully, they can get through the phases as well and Dan

:52:26.:52:27.

Parks can get a few more points. The visitors open the scoring

:52:37.:52:41.

through Dan Parks but the Dragons hit back to touch down. Robling

:52:41.:52:47.

extended the lead with this penalty, but Tom James finished with an

:52:47.:52:57.
:52:57.:53:09.

but it is exactly the opposite in terms of territory. It has been a

:53:09.:53:19.
:53:19.:53:19.

Not the best of spectacles, but you can see both sides, it said pieces

:53:19.:53:24.

are doing well, the scrums are dominant. Watching them, they are

:53:24.:53:33.

playing with wit. And they do seem to be causing the Dragons problems.

:53:33.:53:37.

There is maybe a chance they may have put too many players into the

:53:37.:53:41.

ruck and the Blues may be able to gain something out wide. The odd

:53:41.:53:47.

passes going to ground. It is not the best game to watch, but there

:53:47.:53:52.

may be other tries in the second half. We have been taking a look at

:53:52.:53:56.

the tries. Both have come from turnovers. That

:53:56.:54:00.

is the nature of the game in the first half. The Dragons are trying

:54:00.:54:06.

to suck the Blues over to the far side. The kick is not good enough.

:54:06.:54:11.

They do get good field position and this is a pre-planned exit strategy

:54:11.:54:21.
:54:21.:54:28.

pedestrian. Then, we have Cardiff under pressure. Here, the Blues

:54:28.:54:32.

don't fall for this which play. This is coached by the defence

:54:32.:54:39.

coach is. This is a winger's try. This is an opportunist effort from

:54:39.:54:47.

We were talking about some stand-up performers. Macualey Cook has

:54:47.:54:52.

looked pretty good in the second row. He is making a name for

:54:52.:54:57.

themselves. He has had two line breaks and he has been effective.

:54:57.:55:02.

When the Blues play with a bit of width, he does create a few

:55:02.:55:06.

mismatches in the centre. He seems to be able to find a gap and when

:55:06.:55:10.

they do spread the Dragons de France, he is involved all the time

:55:10.:55:15.

and he has had a very good first half. The scrum battle. We have

:55:15.:55:20.

been taking a closer look. I do not profess to know too much

:55:20.:55:25.

about scrums, but look at this. They are looking for a bind and all

:55:26.:55:30.

the props to be square and high. Look where the props end up. They

:55:30.:55:36.

are not Square, they both end up pointing into the scrum. The loose

:55:36.:55:44.

head doesn't get his bind. And that is a clear penalty.

:55:44.:55:51.

This band is famous this week. Upwards of 70,000 hits on YouTube

and doing pretty well. We are two days away from the big game. The

:56:43.:56:48.

last time Wales beat France was 2008, and in case you have

:56:48.:56:58.
:56:58.:57:04.

forgotten what happened, here is a race and Shane Williams will get in.

:57:04.:57:12.

It is a try. So, let's have a look at the teams.

:57:12.:57:21.

No surprises for Wales. Sam Warburton is fit. France, though,

:57:21.:57:31.
:57:31.:57:36.

have made five changes, including Fofana, has been moved from centre

:57:36.:57:45.

So, consistency is the name of the game for Wales. Those seven players

:57:46.:57:49.

that have played the last five games in the road, they have been

:57:49.:57:54.

getting in on the action. It is about consistency. And we saw

:57:54.:58:00.

against Ireland, a great offload, and he won the game. Alex has been

:58:00.:58:08.

playing well. But Scotland have been playing well as well. Wales,

:58:08.:58:16.

they have been playing with great confidence. They're all playing

:58:16.:58:22.

well together and the good thing is even when we do lose a player with

:58:22.:58:28.

injury, they can come on and win a game against England. To be fair,

:58:28.:58:33.

they are doing very well. And, hopefully, they can do the same on

:58:33.:58:38.

Saturday. We thought we would be missing you at this point, but the

:58:38.:58:42.

boys are doing pretty well without you. I am enjoying watching them at

:58:42.:58:46.

the moment and I am very proud of the way they have conducted

:58:46.:58:51.

themselves in the Six Nations and they deserve a Grand Slam.

:58:51.:58:59.

let's go back to Sean. The defence has been pretty mean as well.

:58:59.:59:07.

This team has got a good system. Let's take a look at this club.

:59:07.:59:16.

There is a clear physical mantra. The one thing about this team is

:59:16.:59:19.

they are dying for the cause, putting bodies on the line and

:59:19.:59:24.

doing anything to prevent any score happening. They have not conceded a

:59:24.:59:30.

try in the last two games. The load tackle brings in Warbleton to steal

:59:30.:59:38.

the ball. I have to say, it is a sound Wales defence. One thing we

:59:38.:59:42.

need to look for is the very last thing this team will do before the

:59:42.:59:47.

kick-off is run to the try-line and put in some key hits with Shaun

:59:47.:59:51.

Edwards, saying to France, this is our line and you are not coming

:59:51.:59:54.

over it. We promised to this at the top of

:59:54.:59:57.

the programme, Wales have recruited a bizarre fan to their growing army.

:59:57.:00:05.

It is David hassle of and respect him earlier. I asked him if he had

:00:05.:00:10.

a favoured player. The guy that stopped the try when they play the

:00:10.:00:20.
:00:20.:00:22.

UK, it was an amazing game. When the guys stole the ball and school

:00:22.:00:32.
:00:32.:00:33.

but try it. And Halfpenny and Jamie Roberts. George North? Yes. But

:00:33.:00:43.
:00:43.:00:46.

Jamie Roberts, I like him. I They are all amazing. I just saw

the passion. You don't get that kind of passion in LA. It is the

passion that be was people have for the game, it is intoxicating.

:00:55.:00:59.

than 48 hours to go, the whole of Wales is gripped by Grand Slam

:00:59.:01:03.

fever and it seems that a tiny corner of ally as waste -- as well.

:01:03.:01:13.
:01:13.:01:18.

What is going happen on Saturday? - It is funny. Hayley said, I think

:01:18.:01:21.

an interesting bet would be to put money on Wales to wins the Grand

:01:21.:01:25.

Slam and damage, she was right. I think we are going to get revenge

:01:25.:01:31.

on France. A think something strange will happen because it

:01:31.:01:35.

always happens with the French. But the fact that England beat France,

:01:36.:01:41.

and the fact that Ireland tied with France, think it is time for Wales

:01:41.:01:49.

to showed France up. But Inga will be 19-15 to Wales. David, you are

on Wales today tomorrow night. Mick is back in the studio. He's very

:02:13.:02:18.

confident, what do you think is going to happen? He is looking

:02:18.:02:22.

forward to a lot of touchdowns, which will be new for rugby! He is

:02:22.:02:28.

getting into the passionate and well looking forward to the game.

:02:28.:02:32.

France come to Cardiff with a decent record. It will be

:02:32.:02:36.

unexpected, what the French side bring. They are on the back of a

:02:36.:02:39.

loss last week so they will be well up for the game. They haven't got a

:02:39.:02:44.

huge amount to play for. It is going to be a tough game with a

:02:44.:02:47.

huge amount of pressure on the boys but no doubt they will be looking

:02:47.:02:54.

forward to it. Let's turn our attention back to the Pro 12,

:02:54.:02:58.

finely poised, what do you think will happen? I hope it can open up

:02:58.:03:03.

a bit, I hope we get more rugby and both sides keep hold of the ball.

:03:03.:03:08.

I'm sure the Dragons' backs will want to get their hands on the ball

:03:08.:03:12.

a bit more instead of scrums. It has got to get better. Both teams

:03:12.:03:16.

have got to go for the jugular and win the game. Let's hope it gets

:03:17.:03:26.
:03:27.:03:50.

better. It is nearly time to get red button, that is where you'll

:03:50.:03:58.

find Rick O'Shea and Tom West. Let's turn back to our team. -- Tom

:03:58.:04:01.

Willis. COMMENTATORS: Not much in it in

:04:01.:04:06.

terms of score, or in terms of rugby in the first half. Let's hope

:04:06.:04:14.

there has been a real shake-up in both changing rooms in half-time.

:04:14.:04:24.
:04:24.:04:37.

And in the third changing room of opening passage of play, we don't

:04:37.:04:43.

get anything much different to what we had in the first 40. I thought

:04:44.:04:53.
:04:54.:05:15.

Paterson was lucky. You only get of the field. Tuilagi, straight

Evans. They use the number eight to drive a wedge from the line

:09:30.:09:40.

initially. It was asking a fair bit of Lewis Robling. Evans, presumably,

:09:40.:09:48.

will take on the kicking duties from there. He gets a step clear.

:09:48.:09:58.
:09:58.:10:37.

Good pressure brings good enough for either team so far.

:10:37.:10:44.

voluntary, in my book. He was over the ball, it's the line. He can --

:11:26.:11:32.

over the ball, stealing. He can feel hard done by on that occasion.

:11:32.:11:37.

Just one from three in the first half for Dan Parks. Well below his

:11:37.:11:45.

usual percentage. That will shore it up a little bit, and puts the

:11:45.:11:55.

the game away as something creative -- a mistake is just as likely to

:12:37.:12:42.

Another reason why the game isn't developing is because there is an

:12:42.:12:45.

offence at just about every breakdown. There should be two

It'll be the Australian's first job this corner. Sean, back to you.

Let's take another look at this penalty. The two support players

are not attached, therefore then do not engage the Dragons players. And

:19:33.:19:43.

so it is coming along nicely. would you feel watching the game on

:22:05.:22:10.

Saturday? You're part of the World Cup. Have you got mixed feelings?

:22:10.:22:16.

Yes. I will be excited for the boys. It would be great to win the Grand

:22:16.:22:21.

Slam, and to be involved, but I am bitter I am not involved. Mixed

:22:21.:22:27.

emotions. And this game, can do Dragons hold on? It is tight, but

:22:28.:22:32.

hopefully they can come our way with a win. See you on the field

:22:32.:22:42.
:22:42.:23:18.

Dragons will take that. A sustained period of defending to do and then

they just get this very cheap anyway, you don't need to be giving

:29:05.:29:13.

enough of it. Pressure from Tom James. Did Evans have anything?

:29:13.:29:23.
:29:23.:29:59.

think he did. I think he may have Sweeney and Ben Blair following up.

surviving. How many charge downs head coach of the Blues, how much

:32:15.:32:19.

of a worried is it? You have dominated the second half but not

:32:19.:32:24.

managed to get in front? It is concerning. We have had two or

:32:24.:32:28.

three sniffs but have not been able to pick them up, missed a couple of

:32:28.:32:33.

kicks. At this stage it is about keeping composure. It is a messy

:32:33.:32:37.

game and we have to keep the pressure on. Are you looking to

:32:37.:32:41.

change it? Yes, we have made a couple of changes and we will see

:32:41.:32:51.
:32:51.:32:53.

Blues. The Dragons are losing theirs defensively. A great steel

:32:53.:32:57.

again by the Dragons. So many turnovers in this game. We haven't

:32:57.:33:02.

seen much of Tuilagi as an attacking force. Sweeney got the

:33:02.:33:07.

tackle in, he couldn't get a tidy pass to the two men on the outside.

:33:07.:33:11.

It is worth throwing the pass if you can, there was space and

:33:12.:33:17.

presence on the left wing. He had to stretch too far for that one,

:33:17.:33:22.

Steffan Jones. That is the man you want to get into space, Tuilagi. He

:33:32.:33:41.

and look at how he is mad. It is Dan Way, up and backwards. A good

:33:41.:33:51.
:33:51.:34:11.

so he will have a good measure. yes. There she goes, taken on, or

are not the ones that started. And there is a bit more stability

:34:41.:34:49.

almost, about the scrums. Tom Brown, at trying to carry and defend.

:34:49.:34:54.

Number 8 did well. Blues, very quickly out of the tracks to put

:34:54.:35:04.
:35:04.:35:26.

the pressure on, and it has worked. platform. The line-out, right on

:35:26.:35:32.

the 22. Three front five for the Dragons. Three from four for the

:35:32.:35:39.

Blues. This is the game in hand for the Blues in particular, desperate

can't take the man without a ball. Scrum-half one scrum-half. Richie

forward to it on sport Wales tomorrow evening. As well as

:37:01.:37:09.

keeping an eye on the under 20s. And then, the three final Six

:37:09.:37:16.

Nations games of 2012. The one in the middle is of the greatest

:37:16.:37:24.

interest. A great kick from then Blair, straight down the middle. He

:37:25.:37:34.

has put the Blues ahead, with just a dozen minutes to go. Nicely

:37:34.:37:37.

struck and you have to say that the Blues deserve something, with the

:37:37.:37:47.
:37:47.:37:50.

pressure they have had. The Dragons haven't helped themselves. Paterson,

:37:50.:38:00.
:38:00.:38:13.

back foot again. Richie Rees won in coming from behind. They have

:38:13.:38:23.
:38:23.:38:41.

game into it, just to get the Dragons pinned back, that is all

:38:41.:38:51.
:38:51.:39:11.

they need to do for the remaining still moving. Intelligent play by

:39:11.:39:21.
:39:21.:39:29.

is allowed to step out of bounds, but the ball down and you go all

:39:29.:39:34.

the way back to the place from which the ball was kicked. Sean

:39:34.:39:38.

Holley, a comment from you. Just an observation. I said it would be

:39:39.:39:43.

difficult for the referee but we have seen 26 penalties in the game.

:39:43.:39:47.

It is a very stop start, was for Happy game. We should have seen a

:39:47.:39:50.

yellow card at some point, particularly in the scrums in the

:39:50.:39:54.

first half. The coaching staff made five changes out of the Six in the

:39:54.:39:57.

front row and we have seen a bit more emphasis on trying to play a

:39:57.:40:01.

from scrums. I realise it is a difficult night, but from a coach's

:40:01.:40:07.

point of view, we want to see some continuity in the game. From a

:40:07.:40:17.
:40:17.:40:17.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

:40:17.:41:07.

as a battering ram down the middle. Sweeney, again. Sidoli. Sweeney

:41:07.:41:17.
:41:17.:41:30.

defence flying up. The Blues have to be careful not to give away the

:41:30.:41:37.

penalty. Chavhanga on the outside, speed from the South African winger,

:41:37.:41:43.

superbly done. What a try from Tonderai Chavhanga! He just about

:41:43.:41:50.

gathered it over the try-line. That could be a match-winner from --

:41:50.:41:59.

from Chavhanga. It looked good from here. He lost it, does he regather

:41:59.:42:08.

it? Yes, he does! In contact, as well. He loses it in contact, he

:42:08.:42:13.

regathers it in contact and that is great finishing. I have a decision,

:42:13.:42:23.
:42:23.:42:28.

there is no reason why you cannot on the face of Tonderai Chavhanga.

:42:28.:42:32.

A great pass to put him on the outside. He backed himself to get

:42:32.:42:37.

on the end of it, and in the end, he just about did. We often talk

:42:37.:42:44.

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

:42:44.:42:54.
:42:54.:42:55.

not always about head down, backside up, but a bit of vision.

:42:55.:43:00.

big kick for Steffan Jones. It drifts across the face and the

:43:00.:43:07.

Blues now know that a try will do it for them. But a penalty won't.

:43:07.:43:17.
:43:17.:43:24.

He has got a bit to do. He has to That one bounced kindly for

:43:24.:43:31.

Tonderai Chavhanga. And the Dragons conjure up a try from nowhere, it

:43:32.:43:39.

never seemed like coming all game. And now the Blues have to get back

:43:39.:43:47.

down field. They have got tired, over seven minutes. -- got time. A

:43:47.:43:57.
:43:57.:44:01.

clean catch claimed by Steffan back behind him. I think that would

:44:01.:44:11.
:44:11.:44:16.

have been part of the plan, to Blair, to Tom James -- Ben Blair.

:44:16.:44:26.
:44:26.:44:26.

Tuilagi was lining him up. Lose' ball. -- Blues' ball. Lewis Evans,

:44:26.:44:31.

eventually getting out of the way. Paterson calling for the one over

:44:31.:44:41.
:44:41.:44:58.

the top, but Sweeney, down the been knocked on? Turned over but

:44:58.:45:08.

knocked on, I think. Day-job we were all over again. --

:45:08.:45:12.

deja-vu. How well they close it out? We need to get territory to

:45:12.:45:17.

put pressure on the Blues. We need to put pressure so they cannot win.

:45:17.:45:22.

With a bit of luck, the referee will give us consistency and we

:45:22.:45:27.

will be able to get some possession or territory. Marred by do have the

:45:27.:45:35.

fastest man in rugby. -- not bad. It is fantastic, he can get us

:45:35.:45:42.

ahead. How quick is he? And very quick.

:45:42.:45:47.

The five minutes left and any possession the Dragons get, the

:45:47.:45:57.
:45:57.:46:11.

has got to do so selectively and effectively.

:46:11.:46:16.

The crucial part of the game, five minutes to go, so what will the

:46:16.:46:21.

coach is be telling the team has? If you of four points down, you

:46:21.:46:28.

still need to wear them down, get the penalty. If you are in front,

:46:28.:46:33.

it is about keeping the ball, taking the faces on, playing the

:46:33.:46:43.
:46:43.:46:58.

corners, running the clock down and back in the bruise hands. -- in the

:46:58.:47:08.
:47:08.:47:08.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

:47:08.:47:58.

not got the ball away. They have sudden. Almost sniffing a 70 metre

:47:58.:48:05.

opportunist effort. It is desperate defence for the Dragons. It adds to

:48:05.:48:15.
:48:15.:48:19.

the excitement and to the the clearance kick goes in. The

:48:19.:48:23.

referee is down. He has done his knee in. That is all we need now, a

:48:23.:48:28.

change of referee for the last three minutes. It is his calf,

:48:28.:48:38.
:48:38.:48:44.

rather than his knee. He took a little knock. He had it coming!

:48:44.:48:54.
:48:54.:48:59.

That was Mike Paterson. I thought it was Dan Way. But he is OK. He is

:48:59.:49:09.
:49:09.:49:30.

for the Blues, as they strive for this try to win them the game, to

:49:30.:49:40.
:49:40.:49:40.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

:49:40.:50:45.

penalty. And the Blues me to give themselves a strike position on or

:50:45.:50:53.

beyond the Dragons 22. Will that be close enough?

:50:53.:51:03.
:51:03.:51:03.

Man of the Match. I was going to go with Rush, but I think Waters has

:51:03.:51:09.

been in the middle of everything. And, rightly, he is the Man of the

:51:09.:51:19.
:51:19.:51:38.

kitchen sink in. Accidental offside. Huge relief for the crowd of just

:51:38.:51:45.

under 8,000 or just a portion of the crowd supporting the home side.

:51:45.:51:52.

In this position, you have a big decision to make. Kick and clear or

:51:52.:52:02.
:52:02.:52:26.

have a few rucks, to sue the last through, the Dragons, and it will

:52:26.:52:36.
:52:36.:52:39.

see them home. Sidoli does the first one. Dragons take as long as

:52:39.:52:49.
:52:49.:52:53.

they possibly can. Lewis Evans... Time isn't over yet. But now it

:52:53.:52:57.

will be. It is safe to put the ball might in the back now. The crowd

:52:57.:53:06.

realises it. That will do for the Dragons. Only a second win against

:53:06.:53:09.

the Blues in 11 meetings and the Blues have been denied the chance

:53:09.:53:18.

to go back into the play-off places in a tight fought contest.

:53:18.:53:23.

Chavhanga's try caused the decider. The Dragons have overcome the

:53:23.:53:33.
:53:33.:53:35.

bruise, 18-14. -- the Blues. Ultimately, a moment of magic by

:53:35.:53:38.

Chavhanga, juggling the ball back over the line and sealing it for

:53:38.:53:45.

the Dragons. A great try. It was classic. A great player. I have

:53:45.:53:48.

played against him and number of times and he is one of the quickest

:53:48.:53:51.

players in the world and it was nice to see him stretch his legs

:53:52.:53:58.

today. I was hoping to see him start the game, but he came on and

:53:58.:54:01.

won kit for the Dragons. They should not have won it in the

:54:01.:54:08.

second half. He is lightning-fast. I think we might get a chance to

:54:08.:54:18.
:54:18.:54:20.

see the try. Talk us the lowered. Knobs -- Robinson gets caught in it.

:54:20.:54:27.

I mean, Richie Rees is quick, too, but Chavhanga held on to the ball.

:54:27.:54:34.

A great touch down. We can go now to Tonderai Chavhanga.

:54:35.:54:38.

My congratulations on the wing and try.

:54:38.:54:45.

Talk us through it. I would like to say to my wife, happy anniversary.

:54:45.:54:49.

Anyway, there was only one man in front of me, I got a good bounce

:54:49.:54:56.

and scored. Did you know as soon as he got the ball, hang on, I have

:54:56.:55:02.

got something? There was nobody in front of me, and I had a chance. I

:55:02.:55:07.

saw a fullback come in, and I thought, let me chipped it over.

:55:07.:55:15.

great try. Week to go to Sean. -- we can go.

:55:15.:55:23.

The Man of the Match. Waters, he was all over the game. He was doing

:55:23.:55:28.

some subtle things. Pouncing on the ball, showing urgency. He showed

:55:28.:55:35.

great agility, not just on the floor but also winning the ball. It

:55:35.:55:43.

was all action performance. It is well deserved. A big dent for the

:55:43.:55:51.

Blues title ambitions. Sorry, we have Darren Waters now.

:55:51.:55:56.

Well done on the man-of-the-match performance. Was it as tight as it

:55:56.:56:02.

looked? My first a regional Dobbie, absolutely savage, but we came away

:56:02.:56:12.
:56:12.:56:12.

with a win. -- a regional Derby. It has been the same all season. But

:56:12.:56:18.

we Paul Dickov tonight. What about confidence? A great boost and team

:56:18.:56:26.

morale will build. Well done on man-of-the-match. Congratulations.

:56:26.:56:30.

A battle-scarred Darren Waters. Let's look at the table. The Blues,

:56:30.:56:38.

in 7th. As we were saying, they will be disappointed. I think they

:56:38.:56:42.

thought this was a good chance to get into the top four. It is hard

:56:42.:56:51.

The way the game went in the first half, they thought they might get

:56:51.:56:57.

territory and get some points, and there was that one moment that

:56:57.:57:01.

turned it, but the Dragons only chance in the second half which

:57:01.:57:08.

they took. They possibly deserved the win. Their defence was docket.

:57:08.:57:13.

When a flanker gets Man of the Match, it is a very scrappy affair.

:57:13.:57:21.

The Ospreys, in a good position now? After their home last, it

:57:21.:57:28.

could have gone another way, but it is all to play for. We will have to

:57:28.:57:33.
