:01:47. > :01:50.They could not be up against a tougher opponent. Yes, they are a
:01:51. > :01:55.great squad, in great form. You look at the strength in depth of

:02:05. > :02:06.
:02:06. > :02:13.back combinations they are able to field. Marshall and Pienaar, he has
:02:13. > :02:18.played every game at number 10. Ulster have a luxury at number 10.
:02:18. > :02:25.Pienaar has been away with South Africa. He has featured heavily for

:03:12. > :03:17.When he needs to, he can be physical and take the line forward.
:03:17. > :03:22.But he is also very quick in the wide channels. A different

:03:37. > :03:38.
:03:38. > :03:44.in one hand. With Bowe and Pienaar slightly out of position, it may be
:03:44. > :03:51.something that the Dragons can exploit.
:03:51. > :03:56.Yes, we have talked about the quality of Ulster. Plenty of deadly

:10:56. > :11:01.for. Nothing silly. I would agree with that. Another reason, it was

:13:41. > :13:51.going to penalise them all? I think it is a shambles. Consistency is

:01:43. > :01:51.modest guy but he was quite a player. Incredible. I was lucky to
:01:51. > :01:57.play enough -- play with him in his last international. A tremendous
:01:57. > :02:03.talent. Really good vision and pace. I do not like to admit it but he
:02:03. > :02:08.was one of the greatest players that we have had. The respect he
:02:08. > :02:13.has in the North of England is immense. Happy birthday to Jonathan

:02:51. > :02:57.Newport beat the All Blacks at this the power forward play. The game

:03:21. > :03:28.Yes, it is David Watkins. He played 21 times for Wales, six times for
:03:28. > :03:31.the British Lions and captain them twice. He also played rugby league.

:03:45. > :03:49.When they talked about him, they all talked about him being exactly
:03:49. > :03:54.what he was, he was an ideal figure as a captain of a side and he led

:04:04. > :04:06.
:04:06. > :04:12.authority. If that Paul had been passed instead of drop goal, would
:04:12. > :04:18.he have been scoring in the corner? Possibly. It was iconic to play
:04:18. > :04:22.against the All Blacks at Rodney Parade. Everyone wondered what he
:04:22. > :04:28.was doing when he dropped the goal. But everyone leapt in the air with
:04:28. > :04:34.so much excitement. Thigh to beat the All Blacks was fantastic.

:36:31. > :36:38.have always been a very good defensive team. But they have more

:36:43. > :36:52.quarter combat is good as well. Around the fringe, you have to be
:36:52. > :36:58.tight against these guys. There is an injury to Henry. They are
:36:58. > :37:01.composed in attack and defence. We can see Andrew Trimble, having
:37:01. > :37:11.timed the run exactly right on the interception, far more composed

:37:13. > :37:23.defence, they have conceded the fewest amount of tries in the

:39:38. > :39:43.gives them the space to use the width. Ferry balanced running.
:39:43. > :39:53.Looking for the offload. Great continuity. Pienaar of all people,
:39:53. > :40:03.just an interfering hand, I think. The two most impressive teams I
:40:03. > :40:04.
:40:04. > :40:14.have seen this season, Ulster and Clermont Auvergne. Could that be
:40:14. > :40:17.
:40:17. > :40:21.so effectively. It is the New Zealand philosophy, basically.
:40:21. > :40:24.think they have got great decision- makers out there as well. As much
:40:24. > :40:28.as you see that and you are absolutely right, we have seen the
:40:28. > :40:31.driving maul, the short pass to the big guys, they have a great mix.
:40:31. > :40:41.But someone out there is calling that and that is where it is coming

:40:53. > :41:00.come back for the scrum. It gives us a chance to go down pitch side
:41:00. > :41:03.once again. Rob Appleyard is with me. This is a tradition now, we

:41:09. > :41:14.losing bonus point territory? really did compete for 50 minutes.
:41:14. > :41:19.That interception try put the game on Ulster's side. They are not
:41:19. > :41:29.European champions for nothing, they are clinical in what they do.
:41:29. > :41:36.
:41:36. > :41:39.We have given away too many against Bayonne. We are up against
:41:40. > :41:44.a very strong squad that we have some young players developing
:41:44. > :41:52.constantly. We are trying to put the performances in in front of the
:41:52. > :42:02.crowd. I missed out Scott Andrew's earlier on when I was talking about
:42:02. > :42:02.
:42:02. > :43:14.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:44:46. > :44:52.every single yard the make, but Ulster are immediately 30 metres
:44:52. > :45:02.downfield. It is often the man coming from deep putting the pace

:45:02. > :45:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:46:00. > :46:02.
:46:02. > :46:12.Dragons. Just one win in the last seven games, against Edinburgh. So
:46:12. > :46:26.
:46:26. > :46:36.ball since he came on. He was looking to offload, the tackle
:46:36. > :46:38.
:46:38. > :46:48.spoiled things. The two Marshall boys have had a a good season.

:48:15. > :48:24.Paddy Jackson as well, he is the Ulster have taken their eye off the
:48:24. > :48:31.ball at a crucial moment. Some loose play by Jared Payne. Just a
:48:31. > :48:41.lapse in concentration, because they know their home and dry.
:48:41. > :49:11.
:49:11. > :49:19.good play by the Dragons. A great little inside ball. Try number six,
:49:19. > :49:29.scored by Jared Payne. Ulster will not give up, they continue scoring
:49:29. > :49:34.
:49:34. > :49:41.right until the last moment. It has been a bit of the -- a feature of
:49:41. > :49:46.the second half. They see the space early, he receives the pass that he
:49:46. > :49:56.once. A lovely little slip. With his pace, he's going to get there
:49:56. > :50:09.
:50:09. > :50:19.will. Ruan Pienaar slips over another conversion. Ulster are
:50:19. > :50:24.
:50:24. > :50:33.almost up to 50 points. A lot of the crowd are leaving. It has been
:50:33. > :50:39.a disappointment for the Dragons. They have given it their all. The
:50:39. > :50:49.scoreline is slightly flattering for Ulster, but they are by far and

:51:04. > :51:10.away were the winners will -- by far and away worthy winners. Man of
:51:10. > :51:19.the match, from an excellent Ulster performance. I think Pienaar has
:51:19. > :51:27.been a class apart, despite some missed kicks. A wonderful signing
:51:27. > :51:33.for off Ulster. I will make him man of the match. So many important
:51:33. > :51:43.touches when he was at number ten. A try just before half-time, which
:51:43. > :51:43.
:51:43. > :51:53.changed the complexion of the game. It has been an all round
:51:53. > :52:11.
:52:11. > :52:20.performance from Ulster, that is Dragons strive for something. Just
:52:20. > :52:26.a single penalty this half. That is it. A game which reflected the
:52:26. > :52:31.relative positions of the two teams. The Dragons are struggling at the
:52:31. > :52:41.bottom. Ulster are very classy, and consolidated their position at the
:52:41. > :52:49.
:52:49. > :52:54.It was finely balanced at half-time, but it was all Ulster in the second
:52:54. > :53:03.half. Darren Cave to go over. Andrew Trimble with the final nail
:53:04. > :53:11.in the coffin. That was not the end of it. Super sub, Jared Payne a
:53:11. > :53:21.broke their hearts with this in the dying minutes. Let's have a look at
:53:21. > :53:31.
:53:31. > :53:41.The first half was quite keenly contested, but the Dragons were
:53:41. > :53:42.
:53:42. > :53:52.second Best in that half? They fail to get any territory. Their kicking
:53:52. > :53:53.
:53:53. > :54:03.was really poor. They only made 20 metres with their kicking. Unable
:54:03. > :54:04.
:54:05. > :54:12.to relieve the pressure. Another kick, just 10-15 metres. Just
:54:12. > :54:15.summer lack of concentration. thing they need to work on his
:54:15. > :54:23.their kicking game, and getting themselves into positions to cause
:54:23. > :54:29.some problems. On those occasions, they were up against a well-drilled
:54:29. > :54:39.Ulster defence. There was far more composure in their game. They are
:54:39. > :54:39.
:54:39. > :54:47.conceding fierce points in the lead. -- feel rest. No answer to an
:54:47. > :54:55.organised defence. They are working really hard. It takes to read,
:54:55. > :55:03.sometimes four Dragons players to take one of theirs. It results in
:55:03. > :55:11.turnovers. They turned the ball over. An interception try, and
:55:11. > :55:20.another turnover, that they execute a very clinically. Too much power
:55:20. > :55:29.on the bench. How good are this Ulster side? Can they win the
:55:29. > :55:33.European Cup? They can. They came very close last year, but that
:55:33. > :55:43.experience will stand them in good stead. I think they will make the
:55:43. > :55:48.
:55:48. > :55:55.final. Ruan Pienaar. I enjoy playing at 10, but I still prefer
:55:55. > :56:02.at number nine. I felt we could have scored a couple more tries in
:56:02. > :56:09.the second half. Just how good can this Ulster side get? There is a
:56:09. > :56:19.lot of improvement. There is a lot to work on, we are happy with eight
:56:19. > :56:19.
:56:19. > :56:26.out of date. You can see the try, will cast the road. -- talk us
:56:26. > :56:33.through it. It was a good team performance. Do you practice that
:56:33. > :56:43.every week? Not really, a little bit lucky. The you are the man of
:56:43. > :56:46.
:56:46. > :56:54.the Match, congratulations. It is currently 26-25 to the Scarlets.
:56:54. > :56:59.Gareth Davies is in the sin-bin at the moment. I wanted talk to about
:56:59. > :57:06.Adam Jones, he is out of the autumn series, not going to Poland for the
:57:06. > :57:10.training camp. How big a blow is that? If you had one player you
:57:10. > :57:20.would not want to get injured, it would be Adam Jones. The tight-head
:57:20. > :57:20.
:57:20. > :57:25.prop is so valuable. We talked about Jarvis, there is a lot of
