:04:32. > :04:37.cannot afford to mess up at this stage, can you? No. It is really
:04:37. > :04:41.important at this time in the season that they pick up wins while
:04:41. > :04:46.the players are a way in the national team. In this
:04:46. > :04:52.corresponding fixture last year, the Ospreys force the blood of some
:04:52. > :04:58.of the youngsters this season. This is typified the way they played.
:04:58. > :05:03.Tom Isaacs, Rhys Webb, these guys were involved in the mainstay
:05:03. > :05:07.Ospreys side. And now into the last set? Absolutely. A lot of
:05:07. > :05:13.youngsters were given an opportunity. It is good to have one
:05:14. > :05:17.and you must take it. As we saw, many have forced their way into the

:05:32. > :05:41.other players leaving. But they have uncovered a few gems this
:05:41. > :05:45.season? Are very much their. Hanno Dirksen is a South American. Very,
:05:45. > :05:49.very powerful and committed, as we saw early on in the season. But
:05:49. > :05:57.this to advise it, the fact that he has developed a real ability at the
:05:57. > :06:02.try-line and the skill level. Great pace, strong, young. And, again,
:06:02. > :06:06.developing as time goes by. He is a young player. And these two will
:06:06. > :06:09.become the future of the Ospreys region. They have had an
:06:09. > :06:16.opportunity and they have taken at. As you say, the Ospreys have done
:06:16. > :06:21.that and done it well. Let's go to the touchline.
:06:21. > :06:25.Steve, tell us about the philosophy of Steve Tandy when it comes to
:06:25. > :06:31.rugby. What can we expect in terms of style from the Ospreys? We are
:06:31. > :06:35.going to be quite correct and we have got a game plan. For me, it is
:06:35. > :06:42.about the same as in defence. We will be very physical in the
:06:42. > :06:46.breakdown. What about going forward in this tour and beyond? We are not
:06:46. > :06:50.going to change everything at this moment in time. We have sat down
:06:50. > :06:56.and had a lot of discussions and we will do so for next season. A lot

:37:25. > :37:30.That certainly shouldn't be coming through. That is a tough call. It

:38:03. > :38:10.And a tight call. I think Sam Warburton in the studio will have a
:38:10. > :38:17.look at that. It is what they do week-in, week-out. Tight call, I
:38:17. > :38:27.think, that. Now, Glasgow's sticking to the philosophy that
:38:27. > :38:29.
:38:29. > :38:39.every time they get down field, they come away with points. As you
:38:39. > :38:54.
:38:54. > :38:59.said, Gareth, the line-out was very Ross Jones is the first receiver.
:38:59. > :39:03.And that time, Lemi was aware of what was coming. Both centres were
:39:03. > :39:13.involved in the breakdown and that means you have forwards out in

:39:21. > :39:30.midfield. And now Beck has regained the momentum. They haven't had any
:39:30. > :39:40.field position in the Glasgow 22. A lovely step but just loses the ball

:43:27. > :43:33.too slowed. Look at the defending line. Glasgow are defending very

:43:43. > :44:11.
:44:11. > :44:16.execution, not quite. Yes. Unfortunately, it was Joe Rees on
:44:16. > :44:21.the wing, so he wasn't going to get there. Maybe the winger would have
:44:21. > :44:30.decided to hold on to it. Glasgow defence has been very, very
:44:30. > :44:40.effective. This is what the coach has got to work out in the second
:44:40. > :44:53.
:44:53. > :44:58.half. They are not committing good line-out. A lot of people
:44:58. > :45:08.could have been done for lazy defending but it still goes right

:45:34. > :45:40.over the top. And well protected by building in the attack. And also,
:45:40. > :45:46.they are being a lot quicker than the Ospreys. Still a quick ball for

:45:57. > :46:02.place. And it is a try! A very, very good try it! The referee
:46:02. > :46:08.couldn't see it but it certainly looked like there was nothing at

:46:18. > :46:19.
:46:19. > :46:29.recycled around Agra quickly. That was key. -- recycled the ball.
:46:29. > :46:50.
:46:50. > :47:00.is a try, no doubt about that. One for try. Thank you. It not a very
:47:00. > :47:14.
:47:14. > :47:18.difficult decision but a very well conversion was simple enough for
:47:18. > :47:26.Jackson. And the Ospreys have a bit of work to do. There is the
:47:26. > :47:29.conversion. It started well. The difference is the pace of the
:47:29. > :47:38.recycling and the two occasions where Dunbar has got behind them
:47:38. > :47:45.and cause them problems. Smith cannot come back quickly enough for
:47:45. > :47:52.the Ospreys. And Glasgow have taken advantage. They have scored 10
:47:52. > :47:58.minutes. Sport Wales are coming up next. Talk about where Wales will
:47:58. > :48:06.be playing their games after the World Cup. And rounded up the
:48:06. > :48:13.weekend's events and looking forward to next week. 5:15pm on

:48:23. > :48:36.
:48:36. > :48:42.territory from the Ospreys counted for nothing. Glasgow have been

:49:07. > :49:13.There is nothing really arm. It is a miss tackle. He goes down and
:49:13. > :49:22.just watch. Watch for the gap. Good support play. Takes the last

:49:42. > :49:52.recycling. -- by Bishop. Than easy try and they have really taken
:49:52. > :49:52.
:49:52. > :50:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:50:42. > :50:45.opportunities. A well-worked try aggressive in the attacking area
:50:45. > :50:52.and they are dominating the target because they are so slow with the
:50:52. > :50:56.ball. What they are doing as well, Jonathan, is they are attacking
:50:56. > :51:01.when they think they can turn it over. The reason they are attacking
:51:02. > :51:06.as well is that they are so slow, the base of the ruck... So they are
:51:06. > :51:16.thinking, we are going to just pile in and even if they do not turn it
:51:16. > :51:18.
:51:18. > :51:23.over, they are going to slow it ever seen so luckily, they fall to
:51:23. > :51:27.the ground. If they stay on their feet, they counteract again and
:51:27. > :51:30.they are definitely winning the tackle area which is the biggest
:51:30. > :51:37.influence on this game so far. And this bead of the ball which they're
:51:37. > :51:47.recycling. Ospreys have to go with the long-range penalty to try to

:51:57. > :52:07.much to do in this game but he stepped up and nailed that. Just
:52:07. > :52:07.
:52:07. > :53:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:53:20. > :53:25.what the Ospreys desperately wanted them down. The initial break by

:53:38. > :53:41.by Rhys Webb. Just got on the and that is a prop, look, number
:53:41. > :53:45.three, throws a dummy, gets on their side. That is what they have

:03:39. > :03:43.some bumps and bruises. But touch wood, we haven't lost any body.
:03:43. > :03:52.This week, we have done a bitter fitness work and some players have

:47:29. > :47:38.to look at this. Players know the difference between a spear tackle
:47:38. > :47:48.and a good tackle. I am sure Sam will be able to give us a very

:49:03. > :49:09.and they have a chance to win it in the final four-and-a-half minutes.
:49:10. > :49:15.I think they have a great opportunity to win it now. What a
:49:15. > :49:21.break Mrs. A quick feet. Acceleration. Lovely, lovely break.
:49:21. > :49:28.Now with the extra man, this could be a very, very interesting four

:51:29. > :52:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds
:52:12. > :52:17.should be looking for. Dirksen is this scrum, has the anyone stood at
:52:17. > :52:27.from the Ospreys? Dunbar has played well in midfield. Dirksen had a
:52:27. > :52:27.
:52:27. > :52:37.very good first half. But for me, the man of the match is number 12,

:52:46. > :52:50.Chris Fusaro. A couple of great really it put his stamp of things
:52:50. > :52:55.as far as the way the game was going to go. The Ospreys could not
:52:55. > :52:59.get the try. Glasgow, every time they went down, came back with some
:53:00. > :53:08.kind of points, just gradually built up their lead. The Ospreys
:53:08. > :53:18.fightback has come very, very the later on. One player is back on the
:53:18. > :53:43.
:53:44. > :53:53.field so it is 15 plays 14. Just up at least the remaining 45

:55:58. > :56:02.Put it wide and it has gone dead. And even though they have not

:56:05. > :56:12.Liberty Stadium, they have got the win and it makes it very
:56:12. > :56:16.interesting now at the top. It has finished Ospreys 20, Glasgow's 26.
:56:16. > :56:20.They thoroughly deserved their win. They were very dominance in the
:56:20. > :56:30.first half. That yellow-card was the wrong decision. It was a great
:56:30. > :56:38.
:56:38. > :56:48.tackle. They deserved to win it and smashing his way to the line.

:57:14. > :57:20.He pledged a late try but it was more possession but the autumn at

:57:28. > :57:38.The Ospreys were pretty sloppy in the second half. Glasgow looked the
:57:38. > :57:39.
:57:39. > :57:44.hungrier and leaner. The Ospreys handling was not to the standard
:57:44. > :57:49.you would expect. Biggar and others. Lots of players let themselves down.
:57:50. > :57:53.It was a very poor second half. They did not really troubled the
:57:53. > :57:57.Glasgow defence. Towards the end they created one scoring
:57:57. > :58:04.opportunity. All in all, their kicking, handling, very
:58:04. > :58:08.disappointing. Mistakes in Ryan Bevington got a yellow card
:58:08. > :58:15.early in the second half. Similar, Sam, to the one you got at the
:58:15. > :58:20.weekend. Perhaps the case that Al Kellock milk it a bit but was it
:58:20. > :58:24.deserved? Ospreys had already identified at half time they have
:58:24. > :58:28.got a good drive on. Glasgow obviously wanted to take it out at
:58:29. > :58:34.source. He was perhaps a little ego there. Talking of yellow cards,
:58:34. > :58:39.Johnnie Beattie saw yellow for the spear tackle. Jonathan Davies in
:58:39. > :58:44.the commentary box thought it was perfectly legal. He has got to be.
:58:44. > :58:47.Now, we were talking when it was have ringing -- happening, as far
:58:47. > :58:51.as referees are concerned, it is black and white. Once you are
:58:51. > :58:57.lifted above the shoulder level, they are almost obliged to give a
:58:57. > :59:02.penalty or a yellow card. Phil Steele is with the losing captain,
:59:02. > :59:06.Tom Smith. Where did it go wrong? Probably similar to last week, our
:59:06. > :59:13.own errors drilled us and we gave away points early in the first half.
:59:13. > :59:17.We just did not have enough time to come back. 13 handling errors.
:59:17. > :59:21.it was a sloppy start to the game and we could not get it going. It
:59:22. > :59:26.fell we are going from a scrum to scrum. A great comeback by the
:59:26. > :59:31.youngsters in the second half? again similar to last week. You
:59:31. > :59:38.cannot fault the effort. We just need a bit of an edge and hopefully
:59:38. > :59:45.we will finish things off. San, before tonight the Ospreys had
:59:45. > :59:51.not lost in the league for eight games running. I found it a very
