:00:24. > :00:29.The Grand Slam is in the bag and it is beginning to sink in.
:00:29. > :00:33.magnitude of the weekend is huge. I am very fortunate and lucky to be
:00:33. > :00:41.involved in three now. Each one of them has been pretty special.
:00:41. > :00:45.time to reflect will come. We are now back into the RaboDirect Pro12.
:00:45. > :00:49.There is no better game to get back into. The challenge is huge. It
:00:49. > :00:54.should be a wonderful encounter. also be testing. Brian O'Driscoll
:00:54. > :00:59.returns in his first game since the World Cup. There will be another
:00:59. > :01:03.thorn in the Ospreys side in the shape of a World Cup winner. But be
:01:03. > :01:07.Ospreys are bolstered by a number of grand-slam winners. They are up
:01:07. > :01:14.against the team they beat to win the title in 2010. And back up the
:01:14. > :01:19.ground where they did it. And they are both in the mix for this year's
:01:19. > :01:29.title. Leinster are the runaway leaders. They are on a 20 match
:01:29. > :01:33.
:01:33. > :01:37.Good evening and welcome to the programme. I am joined by Martyn
:01:37. > :01:43.Williams and Robert Jones. Let's have a look at the Ospreys
:01:43. > :01:53.starting line up this evening. They have four grand-slam winners in the
:01:53. > :02:00.
:02:00. > :02:05.bench if required. This is a crucial period. Absolutely. The
:02:05. > :02:08.trophy is in the cupboard, it is all about the domestic game now. It
:02:08. > :02:14.is about regional rugby. The guys returning have a job of work to do.
:02:14. > :02:17.It is important that they helped the Ospreys stay in contention.
:02:17. > :02:20.None of them have played a huge amount of rugby during the Six
:02:20. > :02:22.Nations. They will be desperate to get on the field. But it is about
:02:22. > :02:29.the domestic competition and helping the region to achieve
:02:29. > :02:34.success. How difficult is it go to slip back into the domestic side
:02:35. > :02:39.and domestic matters? It can be difficult. With the Grand Slam
:02:39. > :02:43.pressure and the build-up, but there are a lot of guys that have
:02:43. > :02:48.not played much rugby. It is a great occasion for them as well. It
:02:48. > :02:55.is what you want as a player. To play in such a great atmosphere in
:02:55. > :03:00.Dublin. We had wondered who would fill your boots when you retired
:03:00. > :03:04.from that number jersey -- number 7 jersey for Wales. Justin Tipuric is
:03:04. > :03:08.playing tonight. He took his opportunity in Dublin. He was
:03:08. > :03:12.outstanding. He started out -- against Italy and his skills were
:03:12. > :03:16.pretty phenomenal for an open side. He has a big future added will be
:03:16. > :03:21.an interesting battle between him and Sam Warburton over the next few
:03:21. > :03:26.- next few years. Different players but it is good for Wales. They have
:03:26. > :03:30.different options. One man is making a return tonight, he is the
:03:30. > :03:40.heartbeat of this Leinster side and it is a man back Leinster --
:03:40. > :03:44.
:03:44. > :03:52.Leinster's title boasts. And we have a couple of stars on the
:03:52. > :03:55.touchline in Dublin as well. Thank you very much. It is an official
:03:55. > :04:01.sell-out this evening. A police Fergus McFadden in the
:04:01. > :04:05.centre is the -- the only returning player from the Six Nations for
:04:05. > :04:13.Ireland. But they also have the return of Brian O'Driscoll in the
:04:13. > :04:20.centre and also Brad Thorn, the All Blacks second row set -- legend.
:04:20. > :04:23.think the whole of Irish rugby public is waiting for Brian
:04:23. > :04:27.O'Driscoll to return. The medical staff have done a superb job. They
:04:27. > :04:33.were very busy saying it was his decision. He is happy to come back
:04:34. > :04:37.and wants to get back into the game. Brad Thorn is a serious guy and a
:04:37. > :04:42.serious signing. A lot of players - - teams around the world would have
:04:42. > :04:52.wanted him. He is in Leicester to do a job. Welsh language commentary
:04:52. > :04:56.
:04:56. > :05:06.on the red button as usual. Let's gain third, a huge game on the back
:05:06. > :05:13.
:05:13. > :05:16.of the Six Nations. -- first against third. The first mistake
:05:16. > :05:26.and Leicester looking to take advantage immediately. They have at
:05:26. > :05:30.
:05:30. > :05:35.least the penalty coming as Yes, all be talking the dressing
:05:35. > :05:45.room about a strong start. Tom Smith with the initial error.
:05:45. > :05:50.
:05:50. > :06:00.Justin Tipuric giving away the exert right from the off. No time
:06:00. > :06:03.
:06:03. > :06:07.to settle down at all. Brian O'Driscoll, 117 caps for Ireland.
:06:07. > :06:17.And after missing out on the Six Nations for the first time in years,
:06:17. > :06:21.
:06:21. > :06:31.he will be wanting to fish with a start for Leinster. They are off to
:06:31. > :06:34.
:06:34. > :06:39.a three-point lead. He just kept it inside the left-hand upright. The
:06:39. > :06:49.task was difficult for the Ospreys added becomes even more so within a
:06:49. > :06:52.
:06:52. > :07:02.Biggar, that is a good hanging restart. It gives the forwards
:07:02. > :07:39.
:07:39. > :07:49.fullback. Ashley Beck would be have got. It is the hooker, in
:07:49. > :07:59.
:08:00. > :08:03.bouncing off the walls, but they have just gone three points down
:08:03. > :08:11.after a minute. This is exactly the start that Leinster would have
:08:11. > :08:18.wanted. It gives the crowd something to cheer about. The
:08:18. > :08:25.Ospreys know they have a Hill to climb. There is a breeze favouring
:08:25. > :08:28.Leinster, particularly when the ball goes high above the stand.
:08:29. > :08:34.has not quite been the heat wave we understand you have had back in
:08:34. > :08:44.Cardiff at least this afternoon. It has been a pleasant day but a good
:08:44. > :08:51.deal cloudier and a couple of degrees colder. We will see what
:08:51. > :09:01.part the wind has to play as the game continues. Leinster certainly
:09:01. > :09:18.
:09:18. > :09:26.get the first typical Brian O'Driscoll run. How many times have
:09:26. > :09:36.we seen that little angle? The little drop off. Alun Wyn Jones
:09:36. > :09:50.
:09:50. > :10:00.drops it -- knocks on. That is a second blow for Leinster. -- second
:10:00. > :10:18.
:10:18. > :10:22.Peter Fitzgibbon of Ireland is the the second row for the Ospreys. It
:10:22. > :10:32.will be a challenge for them to get up for this the current -- this
:10:32. > :10:52.
:10:52. > :10:55.game. But they are against Bradley the blind side for Dan Biggar.
:10:55. > :11:03.Fitzgerald just as enough. That was an excellent piece of turnover ball
:11:03. > :11:11.for the Ospreys. Good contribution from Dan Biggar. It looked a very
:11:11. > :11:14.dangerous break. He sees the space and an intelligent kick. Not
:11:14. > :11:21.looking for the touchline, looking to build the pressure. It has
:11:21. > :11:31.worked out very nicely. The Ospreys have the bonus of the throw-in as
:11:31. > :11:45.
:11:45. > :11:55.well. Richard Hibbard is the one in That is once, Peter -- says Peter
:11:55. > :12:22.
:12:22. > :12:25.Fitzgibbon. They will have to use -- Dan Biggar has a drop goal for
:12:26. > :12:35.nothing and even though that one has gone wide, they will come back
:12:36. > :12:50.
:12:50. > :13:00.yellow cards in the game for slow ball at the moment. He was rightly
:13:00. > :13:10.
:13:10. > :13:20.back level. And in fairness, it has been a good reply after the early
:13:20. > :13:29.
:13:29. > :13:36.as you would care it to be. Just a couple of empty seats up in the
:13:36. > :13:44.gods and that is where Dan Biggar is aiming. Thanks to Dan Biggar's
:13:44. > :13:54.boot, the Ospreys are back on level terms. Sweetly struck. That is his
:13:54. > :14:29.
:14:29. > :14:35.it and he is the one who wants to wins on the trot in all
:14:35. > :14:39.competitions. Last time they lost was here and that is surprising in
:14:39. > :14:49.itself, Glasgow the winners back in September. That is even more
:14:49. > :15:12.
:15:12. > :15:17.been lost and it is a chance for the Ospreys to keep ball in hand.
:15:17. > :15:21.Richard Fussell steaming about side Justin Tipuric. Bat is the kind of
:15:21. > :15:31.half a chance that the Ospreys need to capitalise on it in a place like

:15:31. > :16:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds
:16:44. > :16:54.really aware of where hears. -- Couldn't tell who was responsible.
:16:54. > :16:57.

:17:17. > :17:48.
:17:48. > :17:58.quick take. Advantage being played. Ryan Jones bowls are about Isaac
:17:58. > :18:14.
:18:14. > :18:17.Boss -- bowls over. McFadden is going for the post. The signal the
:18:17. > :18:27.referee gave it was for not releasing a tackled player, which
:18:27. > :18:42.
:18:42. > :18:52.you have to do. Fergus McFadden, 67 points for Leinster in the league
:18:52. > :19:06.
:19:06. > :19:16.before this evening. He pulled about one! -- at about one!
:19:16. > :19:19.
:19:19. > :19:29.Fotuali'i thinks about the quick one. Fergus McFadden is back from
:19:29. > :19:36.
:19:36. > :19:41.Six Nations duty. A lot of players are not back yet. You can see why
:19:41. > :19:51.they are top at the moment, they are strong even without all their
:19:51. > :20:06.
:20:06. > :20:16.players not back. Madigan on the loop. It is therefore Isaac Boss. -

:20:51. > :20:58.getting stuck in there. A strong runner, he is showing that he is up
:20:58. > :21:08.for the close-quarter stuff. He needs to straighten and give a
:21:08. > :21:31.
:21:31. > :21:41.contention. It is on that side of the scrum. Paul James and Nathan

:22:46. > :22:54.
:22:54. > :23:04.before the night is out. It isn't a bad tactic. 20 next month, Eli

:23:16. > :23:45.
:23:45. > :23:55.impressive. McFadden was isolated. They got it back in time. A free
:23:55. > :24:13.
:24:13. > :24:18.ball. Leinster will settle for a scrum. Bishop does well there. You
:24:18. > :24:28.are right, the guys in this Leinster pack are sharing the
:24:28. > :24:50.
:24:50. > :24:58.workload. Just getting to the end of the first quarter. 3-3. Dropping,
:24:58. > :25:08.that is clearly indicated by Peter Fitzgibbon. Two penalties on the
:25:08. > :25:31.
:25:31. > :25:41.are carrying, someone like George Stowers has to be there for the
:25:41. > :26:00.
:26:00. > :26:05.through from McFadden. Let's go down to pitch-side. A couple of
:26:05. > :26:14.penalties against the Ospreys, you don't agree with that. I have to
:26:14. > :26:21.say, it looks like Nathan White is going in with a bent back. To me,
:26:21. > :26:31.it is the Leinster tight-head who is going down. You don't see that
:26:31. > :26:32.
:26:32. > :26:37.very often in scrums these days? not at all. They are on the far
:26:37. > :26:47.side from us, they can see exactly what's going on. I'll take his word
:26:47. > :27:22.
:27:22. > :27:32.has been turned over. They are looking for position downfield, but
:27:32. > :27:40.
:27:40. > :27:49.it is straight into the hands of Hanno Dirksen. A change of tactics.
:27:49. > :27:59.Tom Smith is underneath it. Well taken by Ian Madigan. A really good
:27:59. > :27:59.
:27:59. > :28:09.up and under. The chase was poor. That is a big book from that bad
:28:09. > :28:12.
:28:12. > :28:22.end. A huge kick! -- that is a big boots from a McFadden. That was not
:28:22. > :28:28.
:28:28. > :28:38.down to the wing. That was immaculate timing. Shane Williams
:28:38. > :28:41.
:28:41. > :28:51.is part of the backroom staff. They are looking to the future. Ryan
:28:51. > :28:54.
:28:54. > :29:04.Jones at the front. A good delivery to Fotuali'i. Nicely done. That
:29:04. > :29:33.
:29:33. > :29:43.very well retrieved. That is a humdinger. It did come off his hand.
:29:43. > :30:04.
:30:04. > :30:14.that kick from hand. I am not sure whether Fergus McFadden is renowned
:30:14. > :30:26.
:30:26. > :30:33.for kicking penalties from his own can cheer all right! That is some
:30:33. > :30:43.kick from Fergus McFadden. Take note, Ospreys. They should have the
:30:43. > :30:43.
:30:43. > :30:52.wind in the second half. We have had 25 minutes. What have you made
:30:52. > :31:02.of Brad Thorn? He looks as if he is here to do some work, not over here
:31:02. > :31:02.
:31:02. > :31:09.as a jolly. Is it going to happen more? I think it is. It will help
:31:09. > :31:19.plug gaps in the European Cup. have not mentioned the word -- the
:31:19. > :31:21.
:31:21. > :31:24.Grand Slam yet. You while breaking up there. -- are. I am sure he will

:31:34. > :31:44.
:31:44. > :31:54.Boss. Certainly Leinster are making good use of the breeze. It may be
:31:54. > :31:55.
:31:55. > :31:58.damage limitation to live - to a certain extent in the first half.
:31:58. > :32:08.If it is, playing into the wind, you're handling has to be secured

:34:12. > :34:13.
:34:13. > :34:20.little bit narrow. The referee was playing advantage anyway. It is
:34:20. > :34:28.Luke Fitzgerald who came in from the side. And that is a bonus for
:34:28. > :34:38.the Ospreys. I wonder if this is within distance. He will give it a
:34:38. > :34:49.
:34:49. > :34:59.shot anyway. Dan Biggar has had a goal, Richard Hibbard is being
:34:59. > :35:00.
:35:00. > :35:10.patched up. Maybe he has gone off. Scott Baldwin has come on. Scott
:35:10. > :35:25.

:35:35. > :36:11.

:38:30. > :38:36.Ian Madigan. His 7th league try of the season. That was not the way
:38:36. > :38:41.that Leinster had meant it but they would take it all night long.
:38:41. > :38:50.Madigan does very well. He takes a chance and runs hard. A bounce is
:38:50. > :38:57.friendly for him. The defence is standing still. Very hard for Hanno
:38:57. > :39:03.Dirksen to read the angle. Once he is through the gap, it is a sick --
:39:03. > :39:09.simple step that takes him on the outside. Greater awareness from Ian
:39:09. > :39:15.Madigan. But the Ospreys will be gutted to concede that try, not
:39:15. > :39:25.long before half-time. We have been saying how good their first defence
:39:25. > :39:32.
:39:32. > :39:42.the traps! Fergus McFadden had to keep his wits about him. He had to
:39:42. > :39:46.
:39:46. > :39:51.rush a little bit but he did the job. Was that great opportunism by
:39:51. > :39:55.Ian Madigan or the Ospreys lacking? Greater awareness. The ball was
:39:55. > :40:02.lost in the old best line-out. Ian Madigan trusted himself and went
:40:02. > :40:05.for the ball. It was a good opportunity. It worked out for him.
:40:05. > :40:11.The Ospreys are not doing much wrong. They are in the game. But

:42:26. > :42:36.is nice to get something back on the board. It is a ten-point gap at

:47:47. > :47:53.should capitalise on it. The line- out is working well. A Grand Slam

:48:01. > :48:11.It was a story of the bid. Ian Madigan pounced on that loose ball.

:48:34. > :48:43.the stats. A strange first half. don't think we have seen more than
:48:43. > :48:53.a three or four phases. It has been disappointing. There are some
:48:53. > :48:54.
:48:54. > :49:02.quality players out there. There has been no flow to the game. Both
:49:02. > :49:11.sides want to play rugby. It is a case of being far more patient in
:49:11. > :49:20.the second half. McFadden has been a fairly prominent with the ball in
:49:20. > :49:29.hand and kicking. Very much so. Territory has gone his way. He had
:49:29. > :49:36.a breeze behind him. His goal- kicking has been exceptional. It is
:49:36. > :49:42.important to get every opportunity that comes your way. What has been
:49:42. > :49:48.your impression of that first half? You are seeing a classic game where
:49:48. > :49:56.players are coming back from the Six Nations. It is what you expect,
:49:56. > :50:05.it has been disappointing. It has been difficult to get any
:50:05. > :50:15.continuity. Just one try in that continuity. Just one try in that
:50:15. > :50:17.
:50:17. > :50:25.half, some opportunism. They have an option here. They had an

:50:35. > :50:46.
:50:46. > :50:54.haven't reacted. Their strength is usually their reaction to the ball.
:50:54. > :51:04.It is a poor try to give away. Martin, you have been looking at
:51:04. > :51:08.
:51:08. > :51:18.some of the unsung heroes in the pack. Ire picked up Richardt

:51:19. > :51:27.Strauss. -- I have picked up. He has put his body on the line. Good
:51:27. > :51:35.technique. Those are the kind of things that people might not see,

:51:43. > :51:47.kicking off the sporting weekend. It is a good time to be a Welsh
:51:47. > :51:53.play at this moment in time. When you have consistency of selection,
:51:53. > :52:03.it gives players conference. You can see why they go on and win
:52:03. > :52:10.
:52:10. > :52:14.games. That is absolutely phenomenal. It is an amazing
:52:14. > :52:24.feeling, I have been out on the streets of Cardiff, and I
:52:24. > :52:24.
:52:24. > :52:29.appreciate what it means to the people of Wales. They will be
:52:29. > :52:39.reflecting on the Grand Slam tonight at nine o'clock. Tomorrow,
:52:39. > :52:42.
:52:42. > :52:52.it is the Cardiff Blues against Scarlet. -- against the Scarlets.
:52:52. > :53:02.Sport Relief is under way in. On Sunday you can get involved, you
:53:02. > :53:05.
:53:05. > :53:09.cannot run six miles alongside some famous faces. There are events in
:53:09. > :53:18.Cardiff Bay and all over the country.
:53:18. > :53:24.Time to reflect on that grand-slam. How do you think it compares to
:53:24. > :53:34.2005? It is up there. It is unbelievably hard to win a Grand
:53:34. > :53:38.
:53:38. > :53:41.Slam. It is such a young side, it was a great effort. I was there
:53:41. > :53:47.with you in the stadium, the atmosphere was incredible, the
:53:47. > :53:55.level of support and Norway's, and the party afterwards. There were
:53:55. > :54:02.some sore heads when the boys turn up for training on Monday. --
:54:02. > :54:08.turned up. The boys would have felled 10 ft-tall running out of
:54:08. > :54:14.that tunnel. It was a great way to finish off the campaign. Warren
:54:14. > :54:18.Gatland is not a man to rest on his laurels, he knows he has a tough
:54:18. > :54:28.challenge in Australia. Are Wales good enough to go down and win a
:54:28. > :54:28.
:54:28. > :54:37.Test series? I think they are. The self-belief is there. They have the
:54:37. > :54:47.Barbarians game beforehand. They may have one side preparing for
:54:47. > :54:55.that game, and one fine down under. -- and one side Flying Down Under.
:54:55. > :55:05.It is a hard place to go. Warren Gatland is being spoken of for the
:55:05. > :55:06.
:55:06. > :55:16.British Lions job, is he the man to lead them down under? I think so.
:55:16. > :55:18.
:55:18. > :55:25.He has had success whether he has gone. -- where they he has gone.
:55:25. > :55:35.You can't really see any other candidates. Let's go back to the
:55:35. > :55:44.touchline, and speak to the boys. They are not quite ready! Are you
:55:44. > :55:52.there? Wales are going to Australia, you have been there three times,
:55:52. > :56:02.how difficult will that be? It is a very long tour. It is going to be
:56:02. > :56:03.
:56:03. > :56:12.long and hard. It gets the game out there, guys will want to be playing,
:56:12. > :56:17.the tests will be competitive. Wales have managed to create this
:56:17. > :56:24.team, so they will have to do it again on this tour. What about
:56:24. > :56:34.Warren Gatland as British Lions coach? He is a shoo-in. There is
:56:34. > :56:39.
:56:39. > :56:43.nobody else put in their hand up. - - putting. If the disappears from
:56:43. > :56:50.the international scene is will have an effect. It depends who will
:56:50. > :56:57.step into Bhagat. Wales have put a lot of attention in to read. -- who
:56:57. > :57:07.will step into that gap. It is very much play driven in Wales at the
:57:07. > :57:12.
:57:12. > :57:16.moment. -- player driven. What about if he picks an Englishman is
:57:16. > :57:25.survey Welshman? You can't always picked on native country. That is
:57:25. > :57:30.something that happens. There is death only some players put in
:57:30. > :57:40.their hands up. -- there are definitely players put in their
:57:40. > :57:43.
:57:43. > :57:53.hands up. Let's hope for a great second half.

:58:42. > :58:45.

:01:39. > :01:49.needed the support. But it was was it? Yes. Dan Biggar was outside
:01:49. > :02:04.
:02:05. > :02:14.of the 22. That has put the Ospreys under pressure. I do not know why

:05:45. > :05:53.on the blind side for Hanno Dirksen, only trouble when you are carrying

:06:00. > :06:08.defenders flopping over the top. Down he goes. They do not go for
:06:08. > :06:15.the ball these days, just crouch over the ball. They cannot be

:08:33. > :08:36.you did feel that the Ospreys had the bit between their teeth. That
:08:36. > :08:43.is the best we have seen from them, concerted number of phases and a
:08:43. > :08:50.period of pressure on Leinster. Three points may feel like a scant
:08:50. > :08:57.reward but they needed some points on the board. An easy trip over for
:08:57. > :09:07.Dan Biggar. The Ospreys's first points of the second half. Just

:11:31. > :11:37.hope so. We want to contain and keep building. We will see where we
:11:37. > :11:42.are in 10 minutes. It has been a brilliant reply from
:11:42. > :11:45.the Ospreys after the early McFadden penalty. Leinster know
:11:45. > :11:55.they have a game on their hands and they are playing into the wind as

:15:42. > :15:51.more defending to do. Just short of the try-line. From that angle it
:15:51. > :16:01.doesn't look like he's got the ball to ground. REFEREE: not grounded.
:16:01. > :16:13.
:16:13. > :16:23.Not over the line. Good defending from the Ospreys there. Peter

:17:20. > :17:30.hold out for? This time or they think it has come. -- this time
:17:30. > :17:42.
:17:42. > :17:52.they think it has come. The referee will go upstairs. Interesting.
:17:52. > :18:08.
:18:08. > :18:18.Interesting. It is Ashley Beck coming in. There's the ball.
:18:18. > :18:25.
:18:25. > :18:35.Leinster are already back in their own half. No evidence that it has
:18:35. > :18:38.
:18:38. > :18:48.gone down. It is inconclusive, but is it enough? I fancy he is going
:18:48. > :19:08.
:19:08. > :19:18.to do this. -- he is going to give this. REFEREE: may try. -- can no
:19:18. > :19:21.
:19:21. > :19:31.try. The fans are disappointed. Ashley Beck, stand up and be
:19:31. > :19:38.
:19:38. > :19:48.applauded. He came in, the arm was under the ball. Brian O'Driscoll's
:19:48. > :19:51.
:19:51. > :20:01.night is done. The pressure continues from Leinster. Can they
:20:01. > :20:10.
:20:10. > :20:20.hold out again? Quickly taken by Isaac Boss. A penalty is coming.
:20:20. > :20:26.
:20:26. > :20:36.There is a man down hurt. Ed looks like a bad one. -- it looks. It is
:20:36. > :20:45.
:20:45. > :20:55.Jamie Hagan. He is in a serious bit of pain. We will go back to the
:20:55. > :20:59.
:20:59. > :21:05.pitch side. Some great defence there. You have to say, fair dues.
:21:05. > :21:13.Going back to Ospreys try, they have found some weakness in
:21:13. > :21:23.Leinster. Adam Jones, our Grand Slam prop is on, what difference
:21:23. > :21:37.
:21:37. > :21:47.will be made? Will he make? He will give them some quality. Leinster
:21:47. > :21:47.
:21:47. > :21:56.have to do exactly what they did in the start of the first half.
:21:56. > :22:06.James King is coming on for George Stowers. Let's hope this is not a
:22:06. > :22:16.serious injury to Jamie Hagan. Ian Madigan with a great opportunist
:22:16. > :22:21.
:22:21. > :22:31.try. Great combination from the Ospreys backs. George Stowers goes
:22:31. > :22:32.
:22:32. > :22:42.over. I suppose the Ospreys have as good a record as anyone against
:22:42. > :22:43.
:22:43. > :22:53.Leinster, they have won three of their last four. Sport Wales is on
:22:53. > :23:04.
:23:04. > :23:13.after. We will see you at 6:10pm in Cardiff tomorrow. On Sunday we will
:23:13. > :23:23.look back at all of the weekend's action. That is 6:30pm on Sunday.
:23:23. > :23:30.
:23:30. > :23:34.Sam Walton will be one of those featured. -- Sam Warburton. Looking
:23:34. > :23:44.back at the Six Nations campaign. That is not something we will tire
:23:44. > :23:51.
:23:51. > :23:55.of doing. We have three had the three Grand Slams, some champagne
:23:55. > :24:00.rugby in 2005, it is a different thing when the expectation is on,
:24:00. > :24:10.and it was a hard-fought campaign. I thought the game in France was
:24:10. > :24:11.
:24:11. > :24:16.absolutely absorbing. That campaign has brought a nation alive. This
:24:16. > :24:20.year, in every game, they had selection difficulties, they won
:24:20. > :24:24.games in different ways, they have to put up with different
:24:24. > :24:31.combinations, different selection problems, some wonderful strength
:24:31. > :24:40.in depth, and the last game to the Fide -- and the last game, there
:24:40. > :24:50.was a lot more kicking, the ends justified the means. The one thing
:24:50. > :24:53.
:24:53. > :24:59.we have been worried about is when always someone coming through. That
:24:59. > :25:09.has happened this year. There have been some great cameos, some great
:25:09. > :25:16.strength in depth. They have had a plan B. They had the meanest
:25:16. > :25:26.defence in the championship. It was a wonderful campaign. Talking about
:25:26. > :25:31.
:25:31. > :25:40.strength in depth, you were seen Brian O'Driscoll there, -- you saw,
:25:40. > :25:50.they have some great strength in depth here. There is a lot of
:25:50. > :25:53.
:25:53. > :25:59.strength in depth, they have great ambition, a great set-up. Sean
:25:59. > :26:08.Cronin, a replacement hooker, he was a regular feature in the Irish
:26:08. > :26:18.squad. Our best wishes go out to Jamie Hagan, who is being
:26:18. > :26:19.
:26:19. > :26:29.stretchered off the field. The replacement is being replaced, Jack
:26:29. > :26:30.
:26:30. > :26:40.McGrath is coming on. Some sympathetic applause from the crowd.
:26:40. > :26:41.
:26:41. > :26:45.We wish him a speedy recovery. Always disconcerting for the
:26:45. > :26:55.players when you have a long delay, especially for the Leinster team,
:26:55. > :27:09.
:27:09. > :27:19.because it is one of their team- sensible thing to do is to go for
:27:19. > :27:25.
:27:25. > :27:35.the points. The Ospreys would be back within a kick anyway. This to
:27:35. > :27:38.
:27:39. > :27:45.put it beyond a try. Fergus McFadden, dependable as ever.
:27:45. > :27:55.Ospreys will be frustrated by that penalty. I wonder whether the

:28:05. > :28:06.
:28:07. > :28:13.Sadie gave a penalty. -- so, he gave them a penalty. That has got
:28:13. > :28:22.the crowd and the team going. It is the little things that can spur 80
:28:22. > :28:27.month. Every coach will tell you that the restart is important.

:29:16. > :29:26.WHISTLE BLOWS. The penalty is coming. A card as well. REFEREE:
:29:26. > :29:31.you have lifted him off both legs. A dangerous tackle. I'm quite
:29:31. > :29:41.mystified by that. You can see the Ospreys players are shaking their
:29:41. > :29:47.
