:28:55. > :29:03.for the hosts. There was an early try after some good build up from
:29:03. > :29:08.the team-mates. Some fine work from James King. Matthew Morgan added
:29:08. > :29:13.extra on both occasions to put the Ospreys into the lead. On the
:29:13. > :29:19.stroke of half-time, Edinburgh hit back. Hamish Watson on the end of
:29:19. > :29:24.the scoring pass, and some fine work to finish as well. Let's have
:29:24. > :29:30.a look at those match statistics. The Ospreys are unsurprisingly on
:29:31. > :29:36.top in terms of possession and territory. 54 % possession.
:29:36. > :29:41.Edinburgh made more tackles in that first half. They conceded twice as
:29:41. > :29:51.many penalties. The referee was giving Edinburgh a bit of a talking
:29:51. > :29:51.
:29:51. > :29:55.Five minutes ago I was going to say it was a comfortable half but there
:29:55. > :30:01.is a different complexion on things. They have dominated the hath,
:30:01. > :30:04.really. They have played some really good rugby. You can see that
:30:04. > :30:14.they are going out for tries to night and are trying to get that
:30:14. > :30:18.bonus point, but you can never underestimate the Edinburgh team.
:30:18. > :30:26.Edinburgh came into this on a pretty dreadful run, but they will
:30:26. > :30:31.take heart from that. You have got to win the game before you look for
:30:31. > :30:41.any extra bonus points. They will be hugely disappointed, the Ospreys.
:30:41. > :30:47.They might be weaker in the second half as a result. Morgan Allen is
:30:47. > :30:54.having a good game. Yes. They have had their hands on the ball and
:30:54. > :30:57.they are Florin. A modern-day scrum half challengers the fringes. --
:30:58. > :31:06.half challengers the fringes. -- challenges the fringes. Do not file

:31:21. > :31:26.We have seen a very clever try from the Ospreys. Jonathan Thomas passes
:31:26. > :31:30.behind James King to Matthew Morgan. What James King then does is keep
:31:30. > :31:35.the line a defence which frees up some space for Morgan Allen who
:31:35. > :31:41.puts a little pass in. Once you get close, people like Martin Allen, he
:31:41. > :31:49.senses he is close to the line. -- Morgan Allen. He has an ability to
:31:49. > :31:55.make that extra pass. There is some interesting stuff going on there.
:31:55. > :32:03.We spoke before about the game about Kahn Fotuali'i. He is putting
:32:03. > :32:07.out a position on the wing. He is everywhere. He is a class act.
:32:07. > :32:12.will find that things will happen around here. This is his brute
:32:12. > :32:16.strength and his power game. He is really explosive in the contact
:32:16. > :32:25.area. He is full of confidence, this guy, and he can make the
:32:25. > :32:30.Ospreys tic. He had a great pass there. He knows the players are on
:32:30. > :32:36.his shoulder. It is a simple two on one, which we do not see enough of
:32:36. > :32:40.a modern-day rugby. When the ball is going your way, a challenge can
:32:40. > :32:43.go a long way. He is always putting go a long way. He is always putting
:32:43. > :32:49.pressure on Edinburgh. You can make things tick for the rest of your
:32:49. > :32:57.side. The you know him well. He just runs and finds the action,
:32:57. > :33:02.doesn't he? The mantra is that you have to be a quality individual. He
:33:02. > :33:09.adds to the environment. He is a fantastic player. He is likely an
:33:09. > :33:14.event. I think he would probably finish the game... A quality player
:33:14. > :33:19.and it is sad to see him going at the end of the season. Go in back
:33:19. > :33:22.to the Ospreys as a whole, you have mentioned that they have not scored
:33:22. > :33:27.many bonus point this season. Their condition is very different from
:33:27. > :33:29.Italy and they are going for it. Then are playing some rugby. They
:33:29. > :33:39.Then are playing some rugby. They recognise that the season is

:33:54. > :33:57.channels in modern rugby. They are chasing the bonus point. They have
:33:57. > :34:02.chasing the bonus point. They have got to win the game first. They
:34:02. > :34:10.were looking comfortable until that try by Hamish Watson that came out
:34:10. > :34:19.try by Hamish Watson that came out of nowhere. There was a counter
:34:19. > :34:26.attack and some great blocking. The key is keeping the... Hamish Watson

:34:40. > :34:41.
:34:41. > :34:45.that. Thank you. We will speak more that. Thank you. We will speak more
:34:45. > :34:55.in a few moments. There is a bumper weekend of sport coming your way.
:34:55. > :34:55.

:37:04. > :37:10.The only talking point was who would make the bench. Three be that
:37:10. > :37:17.the starting 15 would be the same. No place for Sam Warburton or Alun
:37:17. > :37:25.Wyn Jones, but they have been named among the replacements. How tough
:37:25. > :37:31.it will that have been? He made an early call, it was brave,
:37:31. > :37:37.unprecedented. I would have been tempted to put Alun Wyn Jones back
:37:37. > :37:44.in, but his replacement has done nothing wrong. He deserves a chance.
:37:44. > :37:51.We are in for a tricky game. It is a sell-out, the weather might play
:37:51. > :37:57.a part. It is no foregone conclusion. I am nervous. Was that
:37:57. > :38:03.a canny PR move, announcing the team early? It stopped speculation.
:38:03. > :38:08.It might be a brave move, but it gives confidence to the players,
:38:08. > :38:12.they know where they stand, they can relax and concentrate on the
:38:13. > :38:22.preparation for 10 days. It could be a positive move. You know what
:38:23. > :38:24.
:38:24. > :38:31.it is like to play in Rome. The talisman is out, nearly 100 caps.
:38:31. > :38:39.He will be missed, he really well. Absolutely, he is their team,
:38:39. > :38:44.everybody looks for him. He is the talisman. He will be sorely missed.
:38:45. > :38:50.They will look for the powerful player. He has got to step up to
:38:50. > :38:56.the mantle, but it is more difficult for a prop forward.
:38:56. > :39:05.said you were worried, and that worries me. It is the Six Nations,
:39:05. > :39:11.Italy have to be respected. They have been clever in their selection.
:39:11. > :39:19.The No. 8 is a dangerous character. He gives penalties away, he is a
:39:19. > :39:29.ball-carrier. They have a game plan, it will not be easy. I still think
:39:29. > :39:29.
:39:29. > :39:33.Wales will win. But there will be some nails bitten. Let's talk about
:39:34. > :39:39.England against France, a different French side, it is as though the
:39:39. > :39:46.manager has listened to the critics. Seven changes. To do think it is
:39:46. > :39:53.enough? It is like he has just woken up. Wesley Fofana has been
:39:53. > :40:00.the star player, and playing him as a winger at! Put him it in the
:40:00. > :40:04.centre. The match in Paris was not great. But especially for the
:40:04. > :40:12.French, they lacked passion and intensity. The crowd of work on
:40:12. > :40:17.them straight away. Players are key in those areas, they will up their
:40:17. > :40:23.game. It is typical of the French, to get the result now, not as
:40:23. > :40:30.favourites. Can they get the victory? Of course. Clermont
:40:30. > :40:37.Auvergne are a fantastic team at the moment. The No. 1 and No. 2 are
:40:37. > :40:41.significant. Dan Cole has been destructive for England, and the
:40:41. > :40:46.number one could make the difference. The Ospreys are back on
:40:47. > :40:50.the pitch. A prediction? I think they will win. Edinburgh have got a
:40:50. > :41:00.bit of confidence, but there will be too strong, and they will get
:41:00. > :41:03.
:41:03. > :41:07.the bonus point. Let's go back to but after that try from Hamish
:41:07. > :41:11.Watson, the Ospreys have to make sure of the victory first before
:41:11. > :41:21.they can think of kicking on for only their second of five points of

:42:31. > :42:36.from the Ospreys. Yes, it is important they try to score first.
:42:36. > :42:42.They had an opportunity at the end of the first half, but Matthew

:44:35. > :44:43.quickly, but they are getting stopped by quite a big penalty
:44:43. > :44:51.count. Was Cai Griffiths loitering with intent? He possibly could have
:44:51. > :45:01.got away quicker. He is a fairly big lump of a man. They do not mind

:02:52. > :02:57.real difference. They definitely do these days. It is tough enough when

:03:41. > :04:01.
:04:01. > :04:08.positivity in the cab and I think try for sure. The ball was
:04:08. > :04:18.available for Rhys Webb, but just keeping it. A good hit initially.

:08:39. > :08:43.The Italians love to slow the ball down, they love to compete at every
:08:43. > :08:53.single break out. But the confidence levels and self-belief
:08:53. > :08:53.
:08:53. > :09:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:09:47. > :10:02.
:10:02. > :10:07.was like the NFL, it was unbelievably forward! I would like
:10:07. > :10:17.to see that one again. Ospreys are doing everything but score at the
:10:17. > :10:27.
:10:27. > :10:34.disappointed. Was he expecting to get away with it?! The referees are
:10:34. > :10:39.sponsored by a well-known brand of optician. Ospreys are doing
:10:39. > :10:44.everything right, except for the final pass. There was a chance
:10:44. > :10:47.earlier with Kahn Fotuali'i. He held it up a bit late. He was
:10:47. > :10:54.looking for runners off his shoulder and he got turned over by
:10:54. > :11:04.Edinburgh. Perry Parker, you saw him going off, he is Welsh
:11:04. > :11:06.
:11:06. > :11:16.qualified, English-born. He moved up from Esher. He has been replaced

:11:37. > :12:16.
:12:16. > :12:26.November, Ospreys will be relishing it. Ospreys have a defensive
:12:26. > :12:27.
:12:27. > :12:34.scrummager. A good scrum by the Ospreys. Another back door, another
:12:34. > :12:41.hot potato. Good cover. That was the first real attacking
:12:41. > :12:48.opportunity Edinburgh have had. Chris Leck, one of the former Sale
:12:48. > :12:58.players, coming on for Richie Rees. It has been a tough even in for him.
:12:58. > :13:13.
:13:13. > :13:19.It is never easy for a scrum-half the bonus point try. It will be
:13:19. > :13:24.criminal if they come away without a bonus point. They have had nearly
:13:24. > :13:34.all the possession in the second half. They just need to finish off
:13:34. > :13:34.
:13:34. > :14:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds
:14:29. > :14:39.their chances. Arthur Ellis having legs of Ben Cairns making the
:14:39. > :14:53.
:14:53. > :15:03.pretty sharp and then the fridge gets on your back. He did not have
:15:03. > :15:04.
:15:04. > :15:12.any other option. He strips the ball, a good hand-off. Then you
:15:12. > :15:17.think, I have got to run the length of the pitch! He is trying to look
:15:17. > :15:24.for Kahn Fotuali'i. You have got to say it was good covering from Ben
:15:24. > :15:34.Cairns. The better option would have been to boot the ball and then
:15:34. > :15:36.
:15:36. > :15:43.raced to the banner. 5500, the attendance. Ouch, Cai Griffiths has
:15:43. > :15:49.had some instant surgery. He has had a tough time. And a black tie
:15:49. > :15:58.for his troubles. Ospreys next week away to Munster, that will be live
:15:58. > :16:03.on S4C on Saturday evening. March second. If Ospreys are pushing for
:16:03. > :16:08.the top four, these are the games where they need the extra points.
:16:08. > :16:12.They had a slip-up last week, they did all of the hard work in
:16:12. > :16:19.Northern Ireland, but these are the games that move you up to the top
:16:19. > :16:25.of the table. Next week here, we will be watching their rivals and
:16:25. > :16:35.neighbours, the scallops against Edinburgh, on Friday evening. Back
:16:35. > :16:53.
:16:53. > :17:03.goes! When the whistle goes, you stop pushing in the scrum. The
:17:03. > :17:24.
:17:24. > :17:27.get the elusive fourth try. The still there. It is such a
:17:27. > :17:37.confrontational position. Always trying to get one up over your
:17:37. > :18:04.
:18:04. > :18:10.wants to see the ball played out of the back of the scrum. That is
:18:10. > :18:16.because you are a centre! But that is the ball you want, such a great
:18:16. > :18:20.attacking opportunity. It is a one on one, you can create space. On
:18:20. > :18:30.the other hand, they are looking for the penalty, looking for
:18:30. > :18:41.
:18:41. > :18:51.23 is Tom Grabham, and heat is on for Tom Habberfield, once the
:18:51. > :18:52.
:18:52. > :18:59.scrum-half for another. That looked a bit skew-whiff as he threw it in
:19:00. > :19:04.there. They think Edinburgh off the hook. The time is running out for
:19:04. > :19:10.the bonus point try. They have been all over Edinburgh in the second
:19:10. > :19:19.half. There has only been one team in it. You have got to start doing
:19:19. > :19:23.the basics right. They are keeping us in suspense. All 5500 spectators
:19:23. > :19:33.here this evening defined the late kick-off time and the freezing
:19:33. > :19:54.
:19:54. > :20:03.British Rail -- Andy Titterrell seeing his throat picked up by
:20:03. > :20:13.James King. -- his throat. He has played an influential role this
:20:13. > :20:31.
:20:31. > :20:37.more. Not the right move their. There was not much space. He tried
:20:37. > :20:42.to use Tom Isaacs as a dummy runner with Morgan coming around the back
:20:42. > :20:52.but there is not much room there. They need to keep it tight and just
:20:52. > :20:52.
:20:52. > :22:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds
:22:39. > :22:45.look after the ball. They are Sending off, Tom? I would have to
:22:45. > :22:49.see this again now. You have to have the benefit of seeing
:22:49. > :22:59.different views of that will stop it did not look good from up here.
:22:59. > :22:59.
:22:59. > :23:09.The crowd -- seeing different views of that. It did not look good from
:23:09. > :23:49.
:23:49. > :23:58.at their! If you get in that position, you just have to hold him
:23:58. > :24:08.down. A player of Nick De Luca's experience I really ought to know
:24:08. > :24:08.
:24:08. > :24:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds
:24:56. > :25:05.site. Who is the Pro 12 man up the match? John Thomas has carried very
:25:05. > :25:12.well. -- man of the match. My man of the match is No. 8, Morgan Allen.
:25:12. > :25:19.His two tries in the first half... He is down at the moment. But he
:25:19. > :25:24.has carried well. He has been hungry for the ball. The Ospreys
:25:24. > :25:32.has barely -- have really got them into shape, haven't they? He was a
:25:33. > :25:38.more bulky figure. You ask, he has lost a bit of that puppy fat. --
:25:38. > :25:46.yes, he has lost a bit of that puppy fat. It has gone a little bit
:25:46. > :25:52.dark. Morgan Allen is off injured. Just over three minutes left. A few
:25:52. > :25:55.of the light had gone out at the end of the stadium. The Ospreys are
:25:55. > :26:00.attacking in the dark end of the Liberty Stadium, but I think they
:26:00. > :26:04.will surely carry on with just three minutes left. It does not
:26:04. > :26:14.affect you too much. Someone will just have to put 50p in the needed
:26:14. > :26:14.
:26:14. > :27:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds
:27:09. > :27:13.make sure they get the good hit and They are low on confidence. Tent on
:27:13. > :27:22.the table before tonight. The Ospreys go for the kill. The scrum
:27:22. > :27:29.is a mass. It has taken up a lot of time. It is a difficult area of
:27:29. > :27:36.scrummage. Just make sure the Ospreys are switched on. They had
:27:36. > :27:40.the upper hand the whole game in this area. Two minutes left. The
:27:40. > :27:50.Ospreys are set to move ahead of the Scarlets, at least for the time
:27:50. > :27:51.
:27:51. > :28:01.being. But will it be with four or five. This evening? -- or five
:28:01. > :28:21.
:28:21. > :28:31.chance? Can they manufacture one? Can they get a turnover from
:28:31. > :29:01.
:29:01. > :29:05.over. You start taking those aspects away from him in this game
:29:05. > :29:09.and you do not get the player that you get now. That is why he is good
:29:09. > :29:15.and why he is unique. More often than not, when he does things like
:29:15. > :29:25.that, they come off. The Ospreys have to get their hands on the ball
:29:25. > :30:03.
:30:03. > :30:13.afford for the ball to go dead. That was the last chance for the
:30:13. > :30:20.
:30:20. > :30:30.Ospreys. Time is called by the Stadium. Ospreys, 24, Edinburgh,
:30:30. > :30:39.
:30:39. > :30:44.Ashley Beck, it was back at -- great to see him back on. There was
:30:44. > :30:52.space in the wider channels. The key for me was the forwards running
:30:52. > :30:57.off 9 and 10. They picked the right option. They built close to the
:30:57. > :31:05.line. Rhys Webb grew into the game. You can see him exploiting the
:31:05. > :31:12.You can see him exploiting the space. They showed some patients
:31:12. > :31:16.after all of that consistent pressure. We did not see enough of
:31:16. > :31:23.this. They did not convert the possession and territory into the
:31:23. > :31:28.tries. That has been a problem all season. We can have a look at the
:31:28. > :31:35.table. A victory has taken them back into the top four. It could be
:31:35. > :31:45.temporary. Victory for the Scarlets allowed them to leapfrog back into
:31:45. > :31:47.
:31:47. > :31:53.4th. Glasgow closed the gap. It is a very tough dog fight. The yes, it
:31:53. > :31:59.is. That is what we want. We want to see competition. We can speak to
:31:59. > :32:07.to see competition. We can speak to the winning captain, Kahn Fotuali'i.
:32:07. > :32:13.How frustrating is it, or are you just happy to get the win? I am
:32:13. > :32:18.just relieved that we got the win. We knew it was going to be tough. I
:32:18. > :32:24.guess we were looking for that for a try, but first and foremost, we
:32:24. > :32:28.had to score some points and win the game. Thank you very much. We
:32:28. > :32:35.can come back to you now. We were just talking about how tight it is
:32:35. > :32:40.between first and 6th. It showed how vital that 4th point could have
:32:40. > :32:45.been. All of these little bonus points are vital to getting into
:32:45. > :32:49.the top four. You have been working with the Scarlets. It is a tough
:32:50. > :32:58.ask to go to Dublin and win. Leinster are not full strength at
:32:58. > :33:05.the moment? Leinster are a champion team. They seem pretty confident.
:33:05. > :33:10.But the mood has been really positive. There is some momentum
:33:10. > :33:15.and the Scarlets squad. We saw Glasgow to a demolition job on the
:33:15. > :33:19.dragons last week. Could you see them finishing top at the end of
:33:19. > :33:22.this regular-season? They definitely could do. They are the
:33:22. > :33:28.heroes of the season. They have come from nowhere and have really
:33:28. > :33:32.come through. It is great to see some Scottish teams doing well.
:33:32. > :33:38.Scottish rugby does need some points at the minute and Glasgow
:33:38. > :33:42.are leading the charge. De you agree with that? -- do you agree
:33:42. > :33:49.with that? Yes. There have been some tougher run-ins with the likes
:33:49. > :33:55.of Ospreys and the Scarlets. That is the beauty of this season. You
:33:55. > :34:04.have to get the big match Games in. By and you very much indeed for
:34:04. > :34:09.your company and -- thank you very much indeed for your company. What
