This weekend the story of Wales starts in the north. The seniors

:00:21.:00:26.

are looking to close in on Grand Slam glory in the south on Saturday,

:00:26.:00:32.

but tonight the under-20s kick-off in Colwyn Bay. It has proved a

:00:32.:00:37.

happy hunting ground for Wales, where they shot down at the Scots'

:00:37.:00:47.
:00:47.:00:49.

On the road, they have misfired, slipping up against Ireland, before

:00:49.:00:56.

being blown away by the English. They shipped 40 points at the Stoop.

:00:56.:01:00.

They may not be going in search of the Grand Slam, but will be keen to

:01:00.:01:08.

entertain a sell-out home crowd. It has been a glorious day in Colwyn

:01:08.:01:14.

Bay. Conditions are just about perfect for running rugby. Wales

:01:14.:01:23.

starts strong favourites tonight. Good evening and welcome from a

:01:23.:01:30.

sort out her Eirias Park. Joining me tonight is Sean Holly. And we

:01:30.:01:36.

have talked a lot about the importance of the under-20s. Sam

:01:36.:01:41.

Warburton told us last week that it was about development off the pitch

:01:41.:01:46.

as well. A crucial part of these young men to come to North Wales, a

:01:46.:01:51.

full house, a great occasion. Danny Wilson are without a dozen --

:01:51.:01:56.

without about a dozen key players. A fantastic time to go white and

:01:56.:02:01.

impressed. You were never afraid to give youth a chance at the Ospreys.

:02:01.:02:09.

Who should we look out for? Davies is a precocious talent, and

:02:09.:02:13.

confident young man and one of the most natural kicking talents we

:02:13.:02:17.

have had come through. I'll be looking for him tonight to really

:02:17.:02:24.

run of the game and go forward, but also have composure. We have to

:02:24.:02:28.

take this game into the last 30 when they can run away with it.

:02:28.:02:35.

Luke Morgan is looking sharp. a young man with no shortage of

:02:35.:02:41.

talent. Me wanting to be hungry for the ball and get back and counter

:02:41.:02:51.
:02:51.:02:51.

attack. He can score some tries! Let's get the ball to him tonight.

:02:51.:02:55.

Coaching the under-20s is a challenging job. Danny Wilson has

:02:55.:03:00.

had to do without some of this top players. It is difficult to believe

:03:01.:03:05.

that George North are still eligible to play for this side! He

:03:05.:03:13.

has also lost his captain Kirby Myhill.

:03:13.:03:17.

Our first experience against Scotland up here was some

:03:17.:03:22.

experience, a passionate crowd. Hopefully that will keep going.

:03:22.:03:27.

had changed your team around a little bit. Why? There is a wider

:03:27.:03:31.

squad there with a number of boys who want to have a look at,

:03:31.:03:35.

thinking about the World Cup. It gives us an opportunity to do that

:03:35.:03:45.
:03:45.:03:52.

tonight. It is a home game that we Quick atmosphere building here. We

:03:52.:04:00.

have had the Triple Crown trophy being displayed. A tricky wind

:04:00.:04:04.

favouring the team playing from left to right. Tom Shanklin, I am

:04:04.:04:10.

looking forward to seeing Jack Dickson. You have got your eyes and

:04:10.:04:16.

Jordan Williams. He is a very promising player, can play 10 or 15.

:04:16.:04:23.

A great kicker. Speed to burn. Similar to Matthew Morgan. I think

:04:23.:04:29.

he needs to be a bit more vocal. There will be plenty of opportunity

:04:29.:04:39.
:04:39.:04:42.

for him tonight. Very impressed with that picture. �6.4 million has

:04:42.:04:48.

gone into the development of this stadium. It is a credit to North

:04:48.:04:58.
:04:58.:05:03.

Wales rugby. The only... Thanks, guys. It is a wonderful

:05:03.:05:10.

facility here in Colwyn Bay. Clearly a strong appetite for the

:05:10.:05:17.

game up here. Clearly. When you come to North Wales to get

:05:17.:05:22.

tremendous support and huge crowds. It is great that we can embrace

:05:22.:05:30.

that. If we needed a reminder dead George North is from north Wales,

:05:30.:05:35.

you can see it in that model that has been going around tonight! They

:05:35.:05:40.

are very proud of him round tonight. There is clearly a lot of talent

:05:40.:05:46.

appear. And a lot of talk about the possible restructuring of regional

:05:46.:05:55.

rugby, could you see at club appear in recent times? -- in the recent

:05:55.:05:59.

future? There is definitely untapped talent appear. Surely

:05:59.:06:09.
:06:09.:06:14.

there is something that we can do to embrace the north of Wales.

:06:14.:06:24.
:06:24.:06:37.

Welsh language and commentary is on under-20s Italians from the Long

:06:37.:06:46.

Walk down from the changing rooms. Amazing facilities here. The whole

:06:46.:06:52.

set-up here is something they had done a fantastic job with.

:06:52.:07:00.

Fantastic is the appropriate word. You have got a fantastic training

:07:00.:07:09.

facility and playing surface. The North Wales crowd had come out in

:07:09.:07:18.

force. They want to see top-class rugby. It is a capacity crowd of

:07:18.:07:26.

just under 6000, it was against Scotland a few weeks ago, and it is

:07:26.:07:30.

the same again this evening. It will be the same again next week

:07:30.:07:36.

when France are the visitors. If things they appear next year, they

:07:36.:07:41.

are hoping to expand even further and open -- and utilise some of the

:07:41.:07:45.

open spaces around the ground, which is great for the area and

:07:45.:07:51.

Welsh rugby in general. No doubt about it. They are hoping the

:07:51.:07:58.

under-20s will make this their home for the next couple of years. They

:07:58.:08:03.

are hoping to extend and improve what is a great facility here.

:08:03.:08:11.

Ellis and Jenkins, the Welsh skipper this evening. He will join

:08:11.:08:17.

his squad as both teams line up on the five metre line in preparation

continue in the same mould. Sam Hanging on to the ball in the

tackle, so they give away the first penalty. We will intend from Wales,

:14:26.:14:32.

looking to get the ball wide. They had speed out wide so I'm sure they

:14:32.:14:37.

have -- am sure they feel they have the beating of the Italians off

:14:37.:14:45.

wide. Jordan Williams is looking very dangerous. I think he is

:14:45.:14:51.

better suited at fullback. A great runner. I think he was isolated

:14:51.:15:01.
:15:01.:15:01.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:15:01.:17:30.

there and had to hold on, giving Italians. Good ball retention. They

:17:30.:17:35.

have to keep it fairly tight. Wales are defensively are looking quite

:17:35.:17:45.
:17:45.:17:45.

comfortable in terms of their organisation. This is a missed

:17:45.:17:54.

tackle. The offload them. Wales look organised, but they need to

:18:04.:18:04.

The Italians. Certainly as big as Calabrese found a way, completely

:19:05.:19:15.
:19:15.:19:16.

open for them. That is a simple try for him. It was. All the space out

:19:16.:19:24.

there to the right hand side. I think it was Tom Young who was held

:19:24.:19:30.

down and could not that across quickly enough. It gave them just

:19:30.:19:38.

the time and space needed. Sam Davies are taking the dummy. Great

:19:38.:19:48.
:19:48.:20:21.

start from the Italians. Showing Seven minutes played and seven

:20:21.:20:31.
:20:31.:20:58.

points ahead. Rob Williams got the blind side, or at the narrow

leave it. Rhodri Williams, it is instinctive, pick it up. Iolo Evans

should have taken that. A penalty kick and another opportunity to

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

has been all Italy since the Italy have scored in the

:23:22.:23:28.

Championship this season. They kept the ball, they have not made

:23:28.:23:32.

mistakes, they have not conceded penalties, they have taken

:23:32.:23:42.
:23:42.:23:57.

ironic cheer goes up from the crowd. That is a poor penalty kick to give

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

away. Wales will be delighted it delighted. That is a good line-out.

:25:08.:25:15.

I think it was Dan Baker who got across. Got his just rewards.

:25:15.:25:21.

Pretty simple stuff. Poor defensive work from the Italians. But well

:25:21.:25:31.
:25:31.:25:47.

done, Robert Evans. I think Wales Simple as that. Wales are needed

:25:47.:25:54.

that actually. Even thought they are without some of their first

team, or first players, there is still enough talent in this side

Jordan Williams was slightly behind Luke Morgan was stopped just over

run it slightly. Keen to get into a little bit of space. Let's have a

:28:20.:28:28.

look. This is the initial move. Strong, powerful. Tried to stay on

:28:38.:28:38.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

Will's would love the opportunity to run into the open space. --

Apperley. Too strong in the end. Because it went dead, they have to

:30:26.:30:36.
:30:36.:30:39.

go all the way back. It is a strong Aldwyn died there. That has given

:30:39.:30:49.
:30:49.:30:49.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:30:49.:32:28.

eager last time. They got there somebody running on its speed, and

:32:28.:32:34.

it is a bit flatter, not quite as long as we have seen on a couple of

:32:34.:32:40.

occasions. The Italians are putting pressure on in midfield. The Welsh

:32:40.:32:46.

side are trying to throw it around so, get wide as quickly as possible.

:32:46.:32:51.

They could be the case for using the boot occasionally, trying to

:32:51.:33:00.

make the defence think. I think the Italians have realised that they

:33:00.:33:09.

are going to try to play this wide game against them. Guido Calabrese

:33:09.:33:19.
:33:19.:33:26.

didn't take his hands off the ball opportunity to move things back to

:33:27.:33:33.

level terms. Sam Davies seems to be made cheering as this tournament

:33:33.:33:40.

goes along. He is very confident, and naturally gifted kicker of the

:33:40.:33:45.

ball, and we will see more of his running ability again. He has the

:33:45.:33:50.

full box of tricks. He communicates well with his forwards and backs,

:33:50.:34:00.
:34:00.:34:11.

offside, running into the man in front. Wales have more of the

:34:11.:34:21.
:34:21.:34:24.

natural rugby talent. That was bad work there, crossing. The Italians

:34:24.:34:27.

have the organisation and a commitment. They will have worked

:34:27.:34:37.
:34:37.:34:37.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:34:37.:35:20.

hard and done their homework on quite comfortable for the Welsh to

:35:20.:35:30.
:35:30.:35:30.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:35:30.:36:26.

the penalty at the breakdown again. The referee has been very vocal.

:36:26.:36:32.

REFEREE: There have been higher series of penalties at the break

:36:32.:36:39.

down. They are not listening to me, so why am giving penalties.

:36:39.:36:44.

Welsh just need to do a bit more graft, go through the phases. They

:36:44.:36:54.
:36:54.:36:58.

are trying to get everything wide so quickly.

:36:58.:37:03.

Tom, you were saying that the well to try to get outside Italy. Every

:37:03.:37:11.

set piece, they are trying to get the ball wide, Ged Jordan and Luke

:37:11.:37:16.

Williams into the game. Great start but the Italians, though, 10.

:37:16.:37:26.
:37:26.:37:26.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

the Wall Street could quickly! -- sharp, very lively with the ball.

:38:51.:38:57.

He has looked sharp and defensively. He was the one who held Luke Morgan

:38:57.:39:03.

and earlier to get the turnover. David O'Dea EXE has looked good,

:39:03.:39:10.

too, always looking for the offload, getting past defenders. -- David

:39:10.:39:20.
:39:20.:39:23.

Odiete. They are always looking to make yards. David Odiete, with the

:39:23.:39:29.

ball in hand, or defence of the has looked good. Great work by the prop

:39:29.:39:37.

forward there. Italy are certainly up for this one. They have come

:39:37.:39:45.

here to win and perform. Italy have not won so far. They and Scotland

:39:45.:39:50.

have not won any of their three matches. Scotland are at the bottom

:39:50.:40:00.
:40:00.:40:11.

of the table. Italy had the better Italy will be very happy to get her

:40:11.:40:21.
:40:21.:40:21.

reset out of that. That was a great hit by Wales. Just trying to get

:40:21.:40:26.

the momentum from their hits that will put the Italians on the back

:40:26.:40:36.
:40:36.:40:42.

even without the Kirby Myhill. This is their second year with the

:40:42.:40:52.
:40:52.:40:52.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:40:52.:41:50.

to applaud both teams for their endeavour. They are trying to keep

:41:50.:41:57.

the ball alive at every opportunity. Sam Davies has made the right

:41:57.:42:01.

decision on a couple of occasions, with the Italians trying to close

:42:01.:42:09.

down the wide players. Great play by both sides, it has to be said.

:42:10.:42:15.

The Welsh are pinning in some grit low tackles. Look here, 6 and 7

:42:15.:42:21.

would normally go for the ball, but they take this base passed the ball

:42:21.:42:26.

in this case. It creates a nuisance for Italy and causes the turnover

:42:26.:42:36.

for Wales. You don't have to win the ball directly to win the ball

:42:36.:42:45.

eventually. That is great awareness by the two Welsh bankers. -- Welsh

:42:45.:42:54.

flankers. Italy will be disappointed by this, they went for

:42:54.:43:00.

their easy ball at the front of the line, so they will be very

:43:00.:43:06.

disappointed to lose hold of it. The Welsh will be very happy with

:43:06.:43:16.

this. Wales are playing against the wind, so they will be happy to keep

:43:16.:43:23.

the ball in hand. They need to go through more faces, to try to time

:43:23.:43:28.

in more of the Italian defenders, so the guys out why it will get

:43:28.:43:38.
:43:38.:43:52.

scrum, so it looks like the Welsh are relying on an early hit to get

:43:52.:43:57.

the momentum. As it slows down, you can see the pressure coming on from

:43:57.:44:07.
:44:07.:44:23.

the Italians. The Italians are now have remaining. -- first half. That

:44:23.:44:29.

was a better scrum from the Welsh, they disrupted the Italian scrum.

:44:29.:44:35.

Jack Jones, wearing five, is a late replacement for Rhodri Hughes, he

:44:35.:44:45.
:44:45.:44:45.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:44:45.:45:50.

He took his man. He had to make a tackle. He had made the decision to

:45:50.:45:55.

come in and he committed himself. He got the ball out of the hands of

:45:55.:46:05.
:46:05.:46:12.

the Italians. Good play by Iolo Evans. The father of Jack Jones

:46:12.:46:22.
:46:22.:46:27.

played for Swansea. A lot of the old boys are producing a players of

David Odieti has not made many mistakes in this first half will.

:47:20.:47:30.
:47:30.:47:32.

That was not them actually. That was at Michele Campagnaro. The ball

:47:32.:47:39.

to Rhodri Williams was not good enough. Guido Calabrese is looking

:47:39.:47:43.

quite sharp and lively. He is keeping things ticking over for the

:47:43.:47:53.
:47:53.:47:53.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:47:53.:48:39.

defence. That was unexpected position for Italy. I think it just

:48:39.:48:46.

caught, it came back from the second row forwards. Guido

:48:46.:48:50.

Calabrese certainly was not aware of it. He was putting pressure on

:48:50.:49:00.
:49:00.:49:13.

very strong breeze behind them in the first half. It will be

:49:14.:49:22.

interesting to see how Wales adapt their tactics in the second half.

:49:22.:49:32.
:49:32.:49:35.

Possibly because of the wind. Davies has a very good, cultured

:49:35.:49:45.
:49:45.:50:24.

he does what Guido Calabrese did at the beginning. Lovely timing. Italy

:50:24.:50:34.
:50:34.:50:35.

gets and their second try. They have used the same move. But this

:50:35.:50:40.

time, it was one of their quick men. Both the winger has looked very

:50:40.:50:49.

sharp. Great food work, fantastic foot work. Wales will be

:50:49.:50:55.

disappointed that they conceded that try. They had numbers there. -

:50:55.:51:05.
:51:05.:51:06.

- footwork. Great finishing. They probably deserve it. They have been

:51:06.:51:11.

strong up front, they controlled the game. They tried it to play

:51:11.:51:17.

with a little bit of width and they have been awarded with two a very

:51:17.:51:27.
:51:27.:51:56.

It was a lovely pass. Once he got outside Nathan Edwards, he was

:51:56.:52:06.
:52:06.:52:42.

always going to get across that has been calling very clearly, he

:52:43.:52:52.
:52:53.:52:54.

has been very vocal. It looked very much as if Sami Drissi was him or

:52:54.:53:04.
:53:04.:53:08.

not ball quickly. -- in on that ball. The communication had been

:53:08.:53:18.
:53:18.:53:42.

made. He has to be allowed to three points for Wales. He is

:53:42.:53:51.

Sollis. We have not seen much of Luke Morgan. The tackle coming from

behind. Wales are trying to keep the ball alive. That was better by

Wales. Italy have to bring on a replacement prop. That will take

:55:14.:55:24.
:55:24.:55:54.

first half performance. They started and finished very strongly

:55:54.:56:03.

indeed. Rob Evans hit back for Wales. But a bit of work for the

:56:03.:56:08.

Welsh boys to do. They knew they were going to be in a game, and

:56:08.:56:18.
:56:18.:56:31.

voice, but it was Etholle who struck first. The extended their

:56:31.:56:41.
:56:41.:56:42.

lead with this penalty. Wales were able to even the score, but Italy

:56:42.:56:52.
:56:52.:57:13.

An interesting first half, plenty of incident. Yes, a very good start.

:57:13.:57:18.

Where as did pretty well to pull it back. But the wind is playing a

:57:18.:57:26.

huge part in this game. Italy are always good for our half, but then

:57:26.:57:33.

they tend to wear down. Wales should be able to pull back,

:57:33.:57:43.
:57:43.:57:53.

especially with this went. early tries. The first dry is a

:57:53.:58:03.

classic example. It takes a chance. The scrummage compromises at the

:58:03.:58:07.

Wales at seven and then Wales and Wales at seven and then Wales and

:58:07.:58:17.
:58:17.:58:29.

It was timed to perfection. Around the corner, Wales will win the race.

:58:29.:58:37.

It gives a Wales their try. Thanks for that. Where as it looked as if

:58:37.:58:47.
:58:47.:58:54.

they were back in the game. Italy struck back. -- Wales looked. It

:58:54.:59:04.
:59:04.:59:06.

was great good work. -- footwork. That was enough to put Nathan

:59:06.:59:16.
:59:16.:59:24.

Edwards off. Italy have been very looked shirt tonight. They have. I

:59:24.:59:29.

honestly didn't expect it. Wales have beat Italy every time they

:59:29.:59:36.

have played them at this level. Sean, you have been looking at how

:59:36.:59:41.

the Welsh have played defaces tonight. They are going a little

:59:41.:59:49.

bit lateral acts the moment. Cheers you have three forwards outside San

:59:49.:59:57.

Davies. You can see that there was an outbreak -- an outside break

:59:57.:00:03.

caused by Jordan Williams. A great run by Willgriff John here. This is

:00:03.:00:09.

the same in terms of shape. Three forwards running off Sam Davies.

:00:09.:00:19.
:00:19.:00:22.

This time, you can see great footwork to get through. It is a

:00:22.:00:32.
:00:32.:00:35.

bumper weekend of sport coming up. It continues after this programme.

:00:35.:00:39.

Sergio Parisse has said that it is almost impossible for Italy to win

:00:39.:00:47.

tomorrow, that could be a bit of gamesmanship. Both then the Six

:00:47.:00:54.

Nations continues with the Scotland Against Ireland's, then France

:00:54.:01:00.

first is in them on Sunday. All the action will be rounded up on the

:01:00.:01:08.

Six Nations Special on Sunday night at 10:35pm. All of which brings us

:01:08.:01:11.

on to do Six Nations. We have talked all night about the

:01:11.:01:15.

importance of the under-20s as a stepping-stone to international

:01:15.:01:23.

honours. This is our guide to becoming a Welsh rugby legend. In

:01:23.:01:27.

it is not easy to become a legend, but here is one way.

:01:27.:01:32.

Show your skills at under 20 level. This is the shop window for any

:01:33.:01:42.
:01:43.:02:03.

you need to shine for your region international plates. Off the bench

:02:03.:02:07.

against the Barbarians and did enough to get on the plane to New

:02:07.:02:13.

Zealand. It is great to make the World Cup squad, but three tries on

:02:13.:02:20.

your international debut? That is the way to stand out. Step 5, bring

:02:20.:02:30.
:02:30.:02:31.

on the old enemy. Scott Williams sprinted into the history books.

:02:31.:02:38.

From under 20 to Welsh legend and five steps, nice work Scott

:02:38.:02:43.

Williams! Scott Williams is not starting

:02:43.:02:50.

tomorrow. There is intense competition in the squad. Plenty of

:02:50.:02:55.

competition, especially in the centres. I don't think Jaime

:02:55.:02:59.

Roberts's position is in doubt at the moment because he is such a big

:02:59.:03:03.

part of the squad. It is great that Scott Williams is making such a big

:03:03.:03:07.

impact when he comes on, that is what you want from the bench

:03:07.:03:14.

players. I think we might be able to see my 50 or 60 minutes? Maybe

:03:14.:03:19.

even at half-time. He has proven that he can score tries. He has

:03:19.:03:26.

played well for his region and his country. Sam Warburton is not fit

:03:26.:03:31.

for the Italy game, but we are blessed in many positions and

:03:31.:03:41.

number seven is one of them. I am a big fan of Justin to prick. He is a

:03:41.:03:47.

great athlete and a great line-out option. He is a slightly different

:03:47.:03:56.

player, probably more of a link player. He has got a lot of talents.

:03:56.:04:00.

Wills are overwhelming favourites. How do you see it going? I don't

:04:00.:04:05.

think it will be too easy. We have momentum and confidence and

:04:05.:04:09.

strength in depth now. We have got something to look forward to next

:04:09.:04:14.

week, but let's not get ahead of her cells. And to the hard yards

:04:14.:04:19.

first, with her big ball carriers and earth macro, then get that

:04:19.:04:26.

backs into the game. Wise words, let's not get to ahead of the Celts.

:04:26.:04:36.
:04:36.:04:37.

We have had some dark days in the past against Italy. Tom Shanklin

:04:37.:04:46.

does like to run in a few tries against Italy!

:04:46.:04:56.
:04:56.:04:56.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:04:56.:05:54.

It is Tom Shanklin for the line! for a matter of seconds.

:05:54.:06:01.

A wonderful bit of nostalgia there, and progressively less hair.

:06:01.:06:07.

need to go back a few years to get some clips of me with hair. I lost

:06:07.:06:16.

twice against Italy, in 2003 and 2007, but I played well, so every

:06:16.:06:26.

cloud! I think it will be a difficult first have tomorrow,

:06:26.:06:32.

Bucks I think the way the Welsh play will suit Italy, they like to

:06:32.:06:41.

spread the ball wide. I think Italy to try to tire out the Italians.

:06:41.:06:51.

Staying with the theme of centres, we will stay with another one. Mark

:06:51.:06:55.

Taylor wanted me to say to Tom Shanklin that he never lost against

:06:55.:06:59.

the Italians! There are you surprised by Italy tonight?

:06:59.:07:06.

really. We knew they would be a tough side. We are making it

:07:06.:07:10.

difficult for ourselves by giving away too many penalties and getting

:07:10.:07:16.

turned over in her own 22. We are making basic errors. We are just

:07:16.:07:22.

gifting them points. You have the wind in the second half. Hopefully,

:07:22.:07:26.

we will play in the right areas. We have got to make them work for

:07:26.:07:33.

their points. A quick word about the atmosphere here? His it is

:07:33.:07:39.

tremendous. Great atmosphere last week against Scotland, and the same

:07:39.:07:47.

again tonight. Thanks for your time. At the wind will come into play, so

:07:47.:07:51.

what are we also need to do to win this game? A Beanie territory in

:07:51.:08:01.
:08:01.:08:21.

the first half. -- we need the Luca Scarsini, the replacement prop

:08:21.:08:28.

as there because Sami Drissi will still have another half-a-dozen

:08:28.:08:34.

minutes in this sin-bin. Wales with the wind in the second half will

:08:34.:08:39.

try to make the best use of that man advantage in the early stages.

:08:39.:08:46.

As Tom Shanklin mention, you have to put the boot to ball, get

:08:46.:08:50.

territory, put themselves in a position where they can build. The

:08:50.:08:57.

need to put pressure on the Italian defence. So, but Wales are still

:08:57.:09:07.
:09:07.:09:23.

trailing in their second game of Italy Cup playing into the wind.

:09:23.:09:27.

This presents the opportunity for will still get back within one

:09:27.:09:37.
:09:37.:09:49.

point. David Odiete has looked very How many times do you see players

:09:49.:09:55.

just lean on the man on the ground to secured possession? He would

:09:55.:10:00.

argue that he was not going to ground, but he was still on his

:10:00.:10:04.

feet, but it is the referee's interpretation. They have been a

:10:04.:10:09.

couple of calls on the breakdown and he has penalised them, so both

:10:09.:10:19.
:10:19.:10:28.

teams need to learn to play the will be disappointed with that. He

:10:28.:10:38.
:10:38.:11:09.

did not connect very well. It all Could this be yellow? Guido

:11:09.:11:14.

Calabrese. A I have seen yellow cards given for that. Dan Baker has

:11:14.:11:20.

been very impressive and carried very effectively. But he did not

:11:20.:11:25.

quite have the support around him. That ball is quick, they have them

:11:25.:11:30.

on the back foot. You can cool off your feet as the scrum-half. I

:11:30.:11:36.

would not have been surprised by a yellow card. Great footwork by Dan

:11:37.:11:42.

Baker. He looks to get the pass, but support is in close enough, he

:11:42.:11:48.

pitched John Apperley on his backside and gets the offload.

:11:48.:11:54.

Davies makes no mistake with this one! Wales have taken just three

:11:54.:11:58.

minutes to get their first points of the second half and put them

:11:58.:12:08.
:12:08.:12:08.

back within one point. That will dishearten the Italians. The early

:12:08.:12:18.
:12:18.:12:55.

stages will all be about territory. just running out of space. That was

:12:55.:13:05.
:13:05.:13:28.

good work. Sam Davies playing themselves under pressure. Yeah,

:13:28.:13:35.

they're making mistakes, a lot of them unforced. Perhaps a little bit

:13:35.:13:45.

shocked to go in at half-time in front. Their previous results in

:13:45.:13:50.

the Six Nations had been and 19 points to five defeat to France, a

:13:50.:14:00.
:14:00.:14:00.

defeat Ireland's, and a 40. Hammering by England's. England are

:14:00.:14:05.

going for a grand slam. They have some depth at this level, don't

:14:05.:14:14.

they? They always do. That was quite incredible! A seven-man scrum.

:14:14.:14:20.

You can see he is pretty happy with that! Luca Scarsini will be having

:14:20.:14:25.

an extra bowl of pasta tonight! That is all about the front five,

:14:25.:14:35.
:14:35.:14:38.

huge pressure. That will have lifted them. It won't be long

:14:38.:14:48.

before their back up to 15. They may want to keep on three props!

:14:48.:14:58.
:14:58.:15:26.

John Apperley, they knew they had the penalty. They will come back

:15:26.:15:33.

for that's penalty against Matthew Screech. REFEREE: The penalty count

:15:33.:15:43.
:15:43.:15:53.

conceded much if they do get these three points. A very well organised,

:15:53.:15:59.

powerful drive up. I do nothing there is any way he can plead

:15:59.:16:09.
:16:09.:16:11.

innocence of there. -- I do not think. Matthew Screech and Ellis

:16:11.:16:21.
:16:21.:16:49.

that a yellow card has not been John Abberley. Oh well organised.

:16:49.:16:56.

The ball comes to Conforti. He could well have been a yellow-card.

:16:56.:17:05.

Lots of referees would have given that. He has just given the penalty

:17:05.:17:15.
:17:15.:17:44.

Just making sure it is saved of the park. -- safe off the park. It is

it is a blustery wind. It is to get the pass away. -- I think

:18:36.:18:41.

Rhodri Williams was trying to get the pass away. The pass goes

:18:41.:18:51.
:18:51.:18:52.

forward. But they could not take advantage of that. Putting a

:18:52.:19:02.
:19:02.:19:42.

Michele Campagnaro under pressure there. How important is a game like

:19:42.:19:48.

this for the development of rugby? It is essential. The amount of

:19:48.:19:53.

enthusiasm it is creating, you can see from the crowd here tonight.

:19:53.:19:58.

Lots of youngsters. Everyone is out at supporting the fixture. We have

:19:58.:20:05.

got a full house. What about the future of Wales youngsters in this

:20:05.:20:15.
:20:15.:20:19.

ground? Hopefully, it will go on for another three years. Iolo Evans

:20:19.:20:27.

is from Caernarfon. It is a pleasure to be here in North Wales.

:20:27.:20:37.

with the club. Bernard a Vickery, one of the stalwarts of rugby here,

:20:53.:21:03.

in Colwyn Bay, they can be rightly proud of themselves. A double

:21:05.:21:15.
:21:15.:21:39.

Davies in this first half. -- of Sam Davies. Danny Williams did say

:21:40.:21:43.

they are looking forward to their junior world Championship. It is

:21:44.:21:49.

not just about the Six Nations. Opportunities being given to a lot

:21:49.:21:59.
:21:59.:22:00.

of youngsters this evening. He is taking over goal-kicking duties?

:22:00.:22:10.
:22:10.:22:29.

Williams and there is the third. Just at the wrong side of the flag.

:22:29.:22:39.
:22:39.:22:39.

His first touch of the ball was not a good one. The scrum has been all

:22:39.:22:49.
:22:49.:23:10.

Italians at a time when Wales need to start applying pressure. Luca

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

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:23:34.:24:24.

ridiculous. The referee has to penalise that. I know that most

:24:24.:24:32.

referees allow that, but it has to be a contest, a fair contest.

:24:32.:24:41.

at how Rhodri Williams gets that ball into the scrum now. I am not

:24:41.:24:45.

sure if it was that decision that angered the Italian coaching team

:24:45.:24:52.

or not. But they are not happy. will not argue with him, he is a

:25:02.:25:02.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:25:02.:25:45.

the 4th one goal? The Italians and all they have got the better of the

:25:45.:25:51.

Welsh scrum -- know they have got the better. If aid to pull off a

:25:51.:25:59.

win, it will be an historic one. Looking forward to the big match of

:25:59.:26:09.
:26:09.:26:15.

the weekend. Coverage starts from 2pm tomorrow afternoon. Followed

:26:15.:26:21.

later in the afternoon by Scotland against Ireland. And at the weekend

:26:21.:26:24.

finishes with France against England on this Sunday afternoon.

:26:24.:26:32.

You can have a look back at the whole weekend on BBC One with the

:26:32.:26:42.

:26:42.:27:25.

the ball. The longer this goes on, the more confident the Italians

:27:25.:27:35.
:27:35.:27:50.

in. A very quiet part of the game and the crowd looking for anything

:27:50.:28:00.

to try and cheer. Just going from set piece to set piece. Wales are

:29:56.:30:06.

looking at the inside ball from Michele Campagnaro. The scrums are

:30:06.:30:11.

taking any age at the moment! Italy won't worry, they want begin to

quieten down, they are the ones ahead. -- a big game at to quieten

:30:19.:30:29.
:30:29.:30:29.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:30:29.:31:16.

Luke Morgan and that is a tremendous score! Luke Morgan gets

:31:16.:31:23.

his name on the scoresheet again. That is as good as it gets!

:31:23.:31:30.

Italians were sucked in defensively. Once they had gone through two or

:31:30.:31:35.

three phases, they were on the front foot. You can see the

:31:35.:31:43.

Italians trying to call players across. We have seen the footwork

:31:43.:31:49.

in previous games of Luke Morgan. At last, a wheel strung some phases

:31:49.:31:59.
:31:59.:32:06.

together. Great try. -- Wales. Morgan's try converted by Williams

:32:06.:32:11.

and Wales go-ahead for the first time. The ball was delivered

:32:11.:32:21.
:32:21.:32:21.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:32:21.:33:04.

that time, so hopefully that will on. They want them to do well. Now

:33:04.:33:09.

questions are being asked of Italian defenders. The Italians are

was congested, but he managed to get the ball in. It was a decision

:34:10.:34:16.

whether to try to keep the ball in the tackle, or get the ball in.

:34:16.:34:26.
:34:26.:34:49.

That was the decision he made. This in between the two defenders, he

:34:49.:34:59.
:34:59.:34:59.

was always going to get in. Jack Nixon, he was doing great work,

:34:59.:35:09.

only 17 years old. He did extremely are trying -- mistakes are starting

:35:54.:36:02.

to creep in. They had a great start. They were relying on their scrum,

:36:02.:36:07.

but mistakes are starting to creep in. Their defensive line is

:36:07.:36:13.

impossible -- isn't what it was early on. Some bad decision-making.

:36:13.:36:23.
:36:23.:36:23.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

very sharp. He sees this space immediately. He does get blocked a

:37:15.:37:21.

bit, so can't get there, but he gets there, makes the tackle. He

:37:21.:37:26.

has been caught out defensively once or twice, but still has looked

:37:26.:37:36.
:37:36.:37:36.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:37:36.:38:17.

and the chance for Italy to draw level. The Italians were looking

:38:17.:38:20.

for bad driving maul again. We have seen some very good footwork in

:38:21.:38:30.
:38:31.:38:34.

midfield. We have seen the referee blow very early, not letting the

:38:35.:38:42.

tackled player moves the ball. The referee has been very vocal all

:38:42.:38:52.
:38:52.:39:06.

night, and communicated well with there was he got in between the two

:39:06.:39:11.

Italian defenders. This speed of Luke Morgan meant she was always

:39:21.:39:40.

John and police succeeds and Italy are back level. It is game on.

:39:40.:39:48.

Wales are looking to make more changes. The one to give players an

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:39:58.:41:56.

opportunity, but at the same time Deliberate say Italy, just and

:41:56.:42:05.

knock-on says the referee. How many times have we seen penalties there?

:42:05.:42:10.

It is an instinctive thing to pick your hand out. Time and time again

:42:10.:42:16.

we see penalties there. Wales have lost possession, and the Italians

:42:16.:42:26.
:42:26.:42:31.

are more than happy to keep playing. The official crowd deceiving 5847,

:42:31.:42:36.

a record we are told for an under- 20s international. They have come

:42:36.:42:42.

up with the numbers, been very supportive of the side, very good

finally have something to celebrate. It looks as if Wales are going to

Good vision. The Italian pack has been fantastic. Their back three in

:52:27.:52:31.

particular have all looked sharp. Second half, they have not had the

:52:31.:52:39.

opportunity. Dan Baker has been involved and has probably been the

at this stage of proceedings. Maybe to a little too late for them.

:55:02.:55:08.

Their last opportunity. They have to be cautiously optimistic. Wales

:55:08.:55:18.
:55:18.:55:20.

have to be composed and be sensible in terms of their defensive work.

:55:20.:55:30.
:55:30.:55:30.

It has will be the best performance, you expect more from the Welsh side.

drew level again. There is one more the 75th the moment abide man of

:56:24.:56:34.
:56:34.:56:46.

second half, but a deserved win. Yes, the Italians made it very

:56:46.:56:51.

difficult for Wales. Wales have made a few slobber errors, but they

:56:51.:57:01.
:57:01.:57:04.

stuck with that and it was a great try at the end. -- sloppy. What did

:57:04.:57:11.

you feel like when that ball popped into your hands so? Just a joy. I

:57:11.:57:18.

saw it coming and it seemed like it was going on for ever. Italy were

:57:18.:57:24.

tough nut to crack. Were you surprised how tough? We always knew

:57:24.:57:34.

they were a tough side and dominant. But the boys have done well.

:57:34.:57:39.

Especially after the English game last week. Would you please with

:57:39.:57:45.

your game generally a? There is always room for improvement, but I

:57:45.:57:51.

am pleased with what I did. what about the crowd? Thanks to the

:57:51.:58:01.
:58:01.:58:06.

crowd for their support, it has tonight. Yes, he looked very good

:58:06.:58:16.
:58:16.:58:22.

with ball in hand. I am delighted for Wales. And I am more delighted

:58:22.:58:28.

for Dan Baker. He had a great game tonight. Italy made it very

:58:28.:58:32.

difficult for Wales. But they can go into next week very confident

:58:32.:58:42.
:58:42.:58:43.

now. Let's turn our thoughts are to tomorrow's match. A tantalising

:58:43.:58:53.
:58:53.:59:03.

encounter. Yes, the two number 8s, that will be a huge battle tomorrow.

:59:03.:59:13.
:59:13.:59:20.

But which side do you think will have the edge. It all depends... I

:59:20.:59:30.
:59:30.:59:41.

think Toby Faletau is something the difference? -- earned. Yes,

:59:41.:59:45.

some mistakes cost us dearly, but it was her first chance to see some

:59:45.:59:51.

of these young players. Dan Baker was man of the match. And there are

:59:51.:59:57.

some good other players as well? Yes, they just need to learn them

:59:57.:00:06.

to understand when to play and when not to play. Yes and it looks good

:00:06.:00:16.
:00:16.:00:22.

Let me have your prediction for tomorrow. Wales by 15 points. I

:00:22.:00:29.

think it'll be tough, but I think we will win in the second half.

:00:29.:00:33.

there are still some tickets left for the game tomorrow. For next

Friday night here, and there is another came here for the under-20s,
