:47:57. > :48:03.They were not going to stay in that corner all night. It is five points

:53:35. > :53:40.will pick out of this first half. or it should be if the Dragons get

:53:50. > :53:59.changing room. Pressure again on Wayne Evans. Knocked on and that is
:53:59. > :54:03.of a mighty relief to the Dragons. He nearly pinched it. They were
:54:03. > :54:09.still trying until the death, the Ospreys. The Ospreys started on
:54:09. > :54:12.fire, full of pace and invention. They had to wait for Ryan Jones to
:54:12. > :54:22.get them try and then the power of the scrum gave them a second. They

:54:23. > :54:29.are well in the driving seat at The players are just coming off now.
:54:29. > :54:36.Ryan Jones will be the last man off for the Ospreys. We talked about

:54:44. > :54:48.come from the scrum. Whether it be free kicks, penalty. We know it is
:54:48. > :54:53.a leaf fall tall, us scrum, the Ospreys are well run out for it. --
:54:53. > :54:57.belief all too all. The big question, if you are the Dragons,
:54:57. > :55:03.how do you negated? First and foremost, they will be a big
:55:03. > :55:08.challenge. The speed of the introduction of the ball, they need
:55:08. > :55:14.to get the ball in quickly and get Faletau off the base very quickly.
:55:15. > :55:18.His Ross with the story of the half. -- here is Ross. It was an
:55:18. > :55:22.emotional start at the Liberty Stadium. Shane led the team out for
:55:22. > :55:27.possibly his last-ever appearance. His team-mates rose to the occasion
:55:27. > :55:32.and burst out of the plot. But the Dragons struck first room rawest --
:55:32. > :55:36.Lewis Robling. Ospreys possession eventually told when Ryan Jones
:55:36. > :55:40.went over. Pressure in the scrum led to a yellow card for Nathan
:55:40. > :55:50.Buck and after a series of collapsed scrums, Nigel Owens lost
:55:50. > :56:00.
:56:00. > :56:06.patience and awarded a penalty try. the Ospreys. They were fantastic
:56:06. > :56:10.early on. Only two tackles made by early on. Only two tackles made by
:56:10. > :56:15.the Ospreys. 49 tackles by the Dragons. That sums up the quality
:56:15. > :56:19.of the play, it was fantastic, adventurers, they played with tempo
:56:19. > :56:23.and pace. If they continue that, there will be a lot more tries in
:56:23. > :56:26.the second period. Plenty of enterprise early on from the
:56:26. > :56:33.Ospreys and that possession eventually told when Ryan Jones
:56:33. > :56:37.crashed over. The Ospreys started in electric fashion, cutting the
:56:37. > :56:41.Dragons defence to ribbons. The ball carrier had a lot of options
:56:41. > :56:46.in the first half. The Dragons defence is too worried about the
:56:46. > :56:50.runners behind Ian Evans. He runs a great angle and you can see the
:56:50. > :56:55.Dragons defenders focused on behind. They were not clinical enough to
:56:55. > :57:00.finish off these opportunities. In the next example, Ian Evans again.
:57:00. > :57:05.He uses the short Angkor, but he cuts Toby Faletau out of the
:57:06. > :57:15.creative line, creating three against two. Yet again, the Ospreys
:57:15. > :57:18.don't get over. Ryan Jones, the old head, got over the line himself.
:57:18. > :57:22.was clear from the off that the Ospreys wanted to put plenty of
:57:22. > :57:28.pace on the game. One man in charge of that, Rhys Webb at scrum-half,
:57:28. > :57:31.he wanted to raise the tempo. has had a fantastic first half.
:57:31. > :57:34.Playing with real pace and tempo. It has become a hallmark of the way
:57:34. > :57:39.It has become a hallmark of the way the Ospreys have played over the
:57:39. > :57:44.last couple of weeks. He has done it more often than not from a free-
:57:44. > :57:49.kick. He has taken it quickly and he knows whether spaces. On to read
:57:49. > :57:54.-- two or three occasions early on, he identified where the opportunity
:57:54. > :57:59.was and created space out wide. This was late on in the half. Acres
:57:59. > :58:04.of space on the right hand side. He identifies where it is because he
:58:05. > :58:09.plays with his head up. He almost gets Dirksen away. The great tackle
:58:09. > :58:13.by Aled Brew, who has been impressive. But Rhys Webb is
:58:13. > :58:17.putting his hand up to be included in the Welsh squad for Australia.
:58:17. > :58:20.First-half performance was fantastic. Another man who has
:58:21. > :58:27.spoken of his ambitions to get back in the Wales set up his Andrew
:58:27. > :58:31.Bishop and he has impressed you. has done his chances no harm. He
:58:31. > :58:35.has been very, very good with the ball in hand. Certainly in the
:58:35. > :58:39.opening 15-20 minutes. Very prominent. He looks a lot sharper
:58:39. > :58:44.on his feet these days. Always looking for on offload. He is big
:58:44. > :58:48.and strong and always solid. It is his defensive work as well. He has
:58:48. > :58:53.been known for making tackles and putting his body on the line when
:58:53. > :58:56.it matters. Again tonight, we have seen both sides of him. He seems to
:58:56. > :59:00.have gone up a level in terms of his performances in recent weeks.
:59:01. > :59:06.We saw how the Ospreys scrum was beginning to tell in terms of
:59:06. > :59:10.pressure on the Dragons. The scrum was always going to be an issue in
:59:10. > :59:16.this game, particularly after last week. On the Dragons ball, they
:59:16. > :59:19.have a strategy. They want to chase the hit and get it to Toby Faletau
:59:19. > :59:23.quickly so they can get it away. But they have no answer to the
:59:23. > :59:27.power of the Ospreys pack. Inevitably a yellow card and when
:59:27. > :59:35.the next one comes along, Nigel Owens has no option but to go under
:59:35. > :59:38.the sticks. He has been far more decisive than last week's referee.

:02:10. > :02:14.done the Scarlets a favour because the Scarlets could then creep above

:02:18. > :02:22.the Scarlets get every help they can. It's important they win their
:02:22. > :02:27.games and get the bonus points to give them every chance. It is down
:02:27. > :02:33.to other teams in the league. At the moment, Leinster's seen to be
:02:33. > :02:38.helping them. Let's have a look at the table as it stands. Taking into
:02:38. > :02:42.account the two games going on tonight. The Scarlets still in 6th
:02:42. > :02:46.place as things stand. The big game is against Munster tomorrow. The
:02:46. > :02:51.Ospreys still in second and will remain so if they win this game
:02:51. > :02:55.tonight. Looking ahead to that game tomorrow, scallops and Munster, it
:02:55. > :02:59.is absolutely crucial, the Scarlets struggle with injuries at the
:02:59. > :03:02.moment. At one training session only 14 players were fit to train.
:03:02. > :03:08.Jonathan Davies is out for the rest of the regular season with a hernia
:03:08. > :03:11.problem. That could hamper their chances. They could do. But they
:03:11. > :03:15.seem to be unearthed in an awful lot of good players and introducing
:03:15. > :03:20.them to the Pro 12. This seemed to be playing well. With so much at
:03:20. > :03:24.stake, I'd like to think that the Scarlets will go out and perform.
:03:24. > :03:28.Losing that game will probably make a massive dent in that opportunity.
:03:28. > :03:31.I don't think it is Ulster they need to worry about. Glasgow are
:03:31. > :03:35.the side who are performing well. They've got some consistency in the
:03:35. > :03:38.way they are playing and they are getting the results. It's important
:03:38. > :03:42.that this Galle it's just keep plugging away and get every point
:03:42. > :03:46.available to them. The other Welsh region in action on Sunday, Blues
:03:46. > :03:50.against Edinburgh. Blues are out of the play-off places and they had a
:03:50. > :03:53.turbulent weeks. They just got pride to play ball. They have. A
:03:53. > :03:57.number of players will be leaving the club and finishing their
:03:57. > :04:00.careers. Hopefully they will have an atmosphere similar to tonight,
:04:00. > :04:05.which will help spur them on. They need a good performance to finish
:04:05. > :04:08.off because ultimately, up until now, over the past month or so they
:04:08. > :04:11.haven't performed very well. They seem to have fallen away slightly.
:04:11. > :04:17.They have the look forward to next year with something good behind
:04:17. > :04:26.them. Two begins, so good luck to both the scallops and the Blues in
:04:26. > :04:31.their encounters. We can go back to This is the Shane Williams farewell
:04:31. > :04:36.game. Tell us about his contribution. You played with him.
:04:36. > :04:40.He's had a massive contribution, both to the team and to Welsh rugby
:04:40. > :04:43.in general and promoting the sport around the world. He is
:04:43. > :04:46.recognisable everywhere in rugby circles. I think it's great that
:04:46. > :04:50.everybody has turned out tonight to give him a good send-off. I am
:04:50. > :04:54.chuffed for him. He will be sorely missed but I'm sure he'll still
:04:54. > :05:04.have a lot to contribute to rugby even when he is retired. As a
:05:04. > :05:10.player, what is seen the big crowd make to the atmosphere? It makes a
:05:10. > :05:14.big difference, were you don't have to take 20 umbrellas and cults, etc.
:05:14. > :05:17.As you go and will warm up part of the years. The Dragons have it all
:05:17. > :05:21.to do in the second half. The Ospreys look as though they are
:05:21. > :05:26.peaking just at the right time. that's what the best teams do, they
:05:26. > :05:31.make sure they ramp their performances up at the business end.
:05:31. > :05:34.Ospreys are desperate to get a home draw. They did a good job in the
:05:34. > :05:38.first half. They got their rewards with some penalty kicks and those
