:00:21. > :00:27.After two weeks immersed in the cauldron of Europe, the Welsh

:00:27. > :00:37.regions have emerged bloodied and regions have emerged bloodied and

:00:37. > :00:38.

:00:38. > :00:48.Tonight, the Celtic League returns. The Dragons welcome the league

:00:48. > :00:53.

:00:53. > :01:00.leaders, unbeaten in all Ulster on fire on -- at home and on

:01:00. > :01:08.the road. They will have nothing to fear tonight. Can the Dragons p

:01:08. > :01:13.roused from their slumber? A Ulster while the form team in

:01:13. > :01:18.Europe right now. The Dragons have won just one of their last 14

:01:18. > :01:25.encounters with the Irish provinces. But Ulster have recorded just one

:01:25. > :01:32.victory at Rodney Parade in the last six attempts. The table makes

:01:32. > :01:38.stark reading. The Dragons just one off the bottom. Good evening and

:01:38. > :01:41.welcome to the programme Live From Rodney Parade. I am joined by

:01:41. > :01:47.Kingsley Jones. The Dragons are desperate for a victory tonight.

: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

:01:55. > :02:05.their players, their back row in particular. But for me, the half-

: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

:02:25. > :02:31.South Africa. He kicks with both feet. He scores tries for fun. He

:02:31. > :02:41.is such a threat. If you can get an overseas player, a top-class player,

:02:41. > :02:45.

:02:45. > :02:53.Ulster are unbeaten and they have shuttled the pack tonight. They

:02:53. > :02:58.have kept the quality. Toby Faletau against Williams. Two big men could

:02:58. > :03:02.over the ball but very similar in their attacking qualities. We are

:03:02. > :03:09.so lucky to have an explosive athletes like Toby Faletau in Wales.

:03:09. > :03:12.He mixes it with the best. Look at this. He carries it with two hands.

: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

:03:22. > :03:27.character, destructive, barnstorming. Nick Williams, he is

:03:27. > :03:37.very destructive close to the line, scoring tries. He carries the ball

: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

:03:56. > :04:00.strike runners in the Dragons line up, if they can get some ball.

:04:00. > :04:04.they can take some confidence in his last week's performance against

:04:04. > :04:14.Bayonne. They could have won that game. But tonight, it is a big

:04:14. > :04:18.

:04:18. > :04:25.challenge. Ulster have got Toulouse The Dragons have to feed on that.

:04:25. > :04:28.Ulster lost here last time they played here. Rodney Parade has been

:04:28. > :04:34.a fortress in the past. They will be relying on these are home

:04:34. > :04:38.supporters. It is massive. There are Ebbw Vale fans coming down

:04:38. > :04:42.tonight for the first time in a long time. Let's hope that it is

:04:42. > :04:47.full tonight. Ulster will be confident, hopefully a little over-

:04:47. > :04:56.confident, they have got to lose at some time and we have seen many

:04:56. > :05:01.teams falling over the years, particularly the favourites. If the

:05:01. > :05:11.Dragons play as they played last week, they have a chance. The first

:05:11. > :05:14.

:05:14. > :05:24.You can get in touch via Twitter. There is also read language

:05:24. > :05:29.

:05:29. > :05:34.commentary on the red button. -- this evening. The first scarf and

:05:34. > :05:40.gloves easing of the new season. Pienaar has been pointed out

:05:40. > :05:48.wearing the number 10 jersey this evening. Such a talented player. He

:05:48. > :05:51.is so important for Ulster. And Nick Williams, we know how

:05:52. > :06:01.destructive he is. He had a couple of tries against the Cardiff Blues

:06:02. > :06:14.

:06:14. > :06:20.encouragement for the Dragons before they come out onto the field.

:06:20. > :06:25.They know they gave a good account of themselves for the large part

:06:25. > :06:29.against Bayonne one day have a few chances at key times which could

:06:29. > :06:34.have changed the nature of that gain. They also know the stark

:06:34. > :06:44.reality that they are down near the foot of the beak table. They have

:06:44. > :06:56.

:06:56. > :07:06.just one win in their last seven Welsh team in Poland for the autumn

:07:06. > :07:06.

:07:06. > :07:14.series training camp next week. Tom Brown alongside in this evening

:07:14. > :07:18.instead of Lewis Evans. Rob Sidoli, his first appearance of the season.

:07:18. > :07:24.Jonathan Evans has played every game at scrum-half. Lewis Robling

:07:24. > :07:34.alongside him. Tonderai Chavhanga has recovered from injury and is

:07:34. > :07:47.

:07:47. > :07:53.from a knee injury. Henderson is chosen ahead of Stephen Ferris.

:07:53. > :07:59.Pienaar At Ten. Tommy Bowe at 15. Such is the wealth of talent --

:07:59. > :08:05.talent that Ulster have among their players. Peter Fitzgibbon of

:08:05. > :08:15.Ireland is the man in charge this evening. Ulster have played one

:08:15. > :08:34.

:08:34. > :08:44.game fewer than the rest of the duties himself, outside the 22. And

:08:44. > :08:46.

:08:46. > :08:56.back their covering his Toby in the second row, Adam Jones,

:08:56. > :08:59.

:08:59. > :09:09.making sure that he gets the ground illegally and the first LP comes

:09:09. > :09:13.

:09:13. > :09:17.beforehand. They have been watching the videos. Watching videos of the

:09:17. > :09:23.referee as well. Peter Fitzgibbon is one that does penalise the team

:09:23. > :09:26.going forward a lot at the breakdown. Yes, the coaching teams

:09:26. > :09:34.spend as much time watching the referee as the opposition. It is an

:09:34. > :09:41.important part of their approach. They benefited on that occasion.

:09:42. > :09:51.Toby Faletau y Tuilagi, the big carriers in the Dragon side. A hand

:09:52. > :10:00.

:10:00. > :10:03.points this season. That is a good effort from long range. That is an

:10:03. > :10:10.excellent kick and just the start the Dragons would have wanted. They

:10:10. > :10:17.take the lead within two minutes. Easily done, gorgeous kick. Perfect

:10:17. > :10:22.connection. That had some yards in it. Anything from his own ten year

:10:22. > :10:32.-- 10 yard line, he will fancy, if he can reproduce that. That was Sam

:10:32. > :10:49.

:10:49. > :10:56.the ball safely out of play. That's what the Dragons will be looking

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

:11:01. > :11:11.McWilliams the rampaging number 8 covering the touchline for anything

:11:11. > :11:16.

:11:16. > :11:26.Just back to fitness. Williams misses it. It falls into the arms

:11:26. > :11:38.

:11:38. > :11:48.nursing them downfield. Tommy Bowe has to keep it infield. He has put

:11:48. > :11:54.

:11:54. > :12:04.have had their hearts in their mouths for a second. Great take

:12:04. > :12:06.

:12:06. > :12:13.end, Tom Brown is the one that has to put it out of play. That is

:12:13. > :12:17.greater awareness by Pienaar. intelligence. So quick to react.

:12:17. > :12:25.And quick on to the ball. The pace at which he hit back pass, and the

:12:26. > :12:31.vision to see the space. Coming from deep. He looks up, the Dragons

:12:31. > :12:36.backs are turned. The back row in front of him. The pressure is on

:12:36. > :12:45.right until the moment Tom Brown gets back to kick it out. Wonderful

:12:45. > :12:55.play from Pienaar. Pienaar has given his team a great platform.

:12:55. > :12:55.

:12:55. > :13:05.Henderson supply in the line-out Edging towards the try-line. Rory

:13:05. > :13:10.

:13:10. > :13:20.Best is slightly isolated for a slips the tackle, are almost a

:13:20. > :13:23.

:13:23. > :13:30.what the Dragons are looking for. Penalties given away by Ulster at

:13:30. > :13:40.the breakdown. Every ruck, you will have someone doing that. Is he

:13:40. > :13:41.

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

:13:51. > :13:56.

:13:56. > :14:04.the issue. Ulster losing a good time for Lewis Robling to get in a

:14:04. > :14:09.comfortable clearance kick. Early signs of the complete aspect of the

:14:09. > :14:13.Ulster team. A couple of years ago, they had a narrow game based on a

:14:13. > :14:17.big pack of forwards that we have seen already deep skin -- skill of

:14:17. > :14:27.Pienaar, and the ability to rumble up front. They are quite some side

:14:27. > :14:41.

:14:41. > :14:51.for Cave. Quickly recycled as well. That is so important for them.

:14:51. > :15:08.

:15:08. > :15:18.about. They are giving the ball carrier options all the time. --

:15:18. > :15:51.

:15:51. > :16:01.forward. That is good work by great run by Harries. Nathan Buck

:16:01. > :16:35.

:16:35. > :16:45.continues it. Ulster had reformed feet. Penalty to the Dragons.

:16:45. > :16:48.

:16:48. > :16:58.whether he is first man there. Intelligent back-row place. -- play.

:16:58. > :17:02.

:17:02. > :17:12.It was but he did the good work -- it was Buck who did a good word.

:17:12. > :17:16.

:17:16. > :17:26.The ball is a bit slow. The penalty comes. He is the tackle I, I -- key

:17:26. > :17:33.

:17:33. > :17:39.is the one being tackled,. They are fine margins. Some breaking news.

:17:39. > :17:46.Adam Jones, the Wales Tighthead prop, aggravated his knee injury

:17:46. > :17:54.against Leicester, he is not going to Poland weather training camp. He

:17:54. > :18:04.is out of the autumn series. Who would you go to replace him?

:18:04. > :18:07.

:18:07. > :18:10.would have to go far -- t would have to go for Aran Jarvis.

:18:10. > :18:20.many points to they have to be up by half-time to make the wind

:18:20. > :18:28.

:18:28. > :18:38.advantage count? It looks like he can kick. A nine. Will lead -- they

:18:38. > :19:09.

:19:10. > :19:15.need to get a 9 lead before half- that Adam Jones is out of the

:19:15. > :19:25.training camp, if he does miss all of the autumn internationals, that

:19:25. > :19:26.

:19:26. > :19:35.is a massive blow. As much as we needed him, he also needed the

:19:35. > :19:44.Poland match as conditioning. That is terribly unfortunate. Aaron

:19:44. > :19:54.Jarvis says done well. They still don't have true competition in that

:19:54. > :19:55.

:19:55. > :20:05.position. As ever, concerning a problem position for Wales. It is

:20:05. > :20:29.

:20:29. > :20:39.target so far for Ulster. This time to Tuohy. The ball is safely tucked

:20:39. > :20:53.

:20:53. > :21:03.away. Very well organised. The Dragons are on the back thirds. --

:21:03. > :21:06.

:21:06. > :21:16.30. That was very pedantic. He has come away, actually that is fair

:21:29. > :21:38.is one heck of a driving maul. just want to show you the

:21:38. > :21:44.difference between executing and not. We see a great turnover by the

:21:44. > :21:54.Dragons, that is a great break through the gap, but have a look

:21:54. > :22:14.

:22:14. > :22:24.where they are now, that is where keeping a close eye on proceedings

:23:28. > :23:30.

:23:30. > :23:40.different kicks. -- finding himself at executing. A lot of space for

:23:40. > :24:08.

:24:08. > :24:18.Best. He slips the tackle. Get support from Tuohy. They are within

:24:18. > :24:19.

:24:19. > :24:29.five metres of the try-line. Pienaar has a go. It is a try for

:24:29. > :24:34.

:24:34. > :24:44.Tom Court. The Dragons defence has been breached. It looked like it

:24:44. > :24:45.

:24:45. > :24:55.might have gone forward, but I thought it was fed backwards. A

:24:55. > :25:03.

:25:03. > :25:13.desperate tackle, Perhaps lateral. The benefit of the doubt.

:25:13. > :25:15.

:25:15. > :25:25.conversion is simplicity itself. The Dragons find themselves behind.

:25:25. > :25:50.

:25:50. > :26:00.That attacks started with a loose are not quite at the races at the

:26:00. > :26:35.

:26:35. > :26:45.moment. -- Harries. Pienaar is a Dragons have a chance to restore

:26:45. > :26:53.

:26:53. > :27:03.their lead. A side entry in the ruck. He goes to floor. Ends up

:27:03. > :27:16.

:27:16. > :27:26.around the side. It is difficult to pick the bits out one one -- out of

:27:26. > :27:26.

:27:26. > :28:28.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:28:28. > :28:38.that one. Prydie has push that one is the Jones to reps it clear. --

:28:38. > :28:41.

:28:41. > :28:51.it is Steve Jones who rips it clear. REFEREE: The first one was side

:28:51. > :28:52.

:28:53. > :29:02.entry. Even though it is slightly into the wind, Pienaar is deciding

:29:38. > :29:48.league. Came over from South Africa in 2010. One of the world's Best

:29:48. > :30:20.

:30:20. > :30:30.team when they have had ball in hand. It was a good opening by the

:30:30. > :30:34.

:30:34. > :30:40.Andrew Trimble with the Chase and he got hands to it. Henry was there

:30:40. > :30:50.to gather. The support work is really good from Ulster. So many

:31:16. > :31:23.Tom Cox, P -- Tom Court, the try- says the referee. There was no

:31:23. > :31:33.referee. Just by looking into him - - knocking into him, it is not

:31:33. > :33:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:33:07. > :33:11.automatically offside. There has to two. A very interesting article

:33:11. > :33:15.this week by Brian Moore about scrummaging at the moment. How what

:33:15. > :33:22.is not just ruining the game but it is actually dangerous as well

:33:22. > :33:32.because they are going for the hit at the moment, the big hit. You

:33:32. > :33:35.

:33:35. > :33:39.cannot grip when you are the single most concerning facet of

:33:39. > :33:43.the modern game at the moment. We saw examples of it in Europe last

:33:43. > :33:48.week. I was absolutely mystified by some of the decisions against the

:33:48. > :33:53.Ospreys. For my money, a number of those penalties could have gone

:33:53. > :34:00.either way. But major consequence, especially when yellow cards are

:34:00. > :34:03.involved. It was interesting, I was working for Radio Wales and Martin

:34:03. > :34:07.Corry was there as well, former England and Leicester captain, he

:34:07. > :34:11.said he was so disappointed to see Ryan Bevington getting a yellow

:37:15. > :37:20.Quicker ball, this is better. Tuilagi is so strong. He is

:37:20. > :37:24.impossible to stop from that far- out. And that is such a well-worked

:37:24. > :37:31.try by the Dragons. They kept possession, kept their shape and

:37:31. > :37:34.Tuilagi puts them back in front. Spot on. Technically, that is a

:37:34. > :37:42.magnificent try. They went through the phases but the decision making

:37:42. > :37:51.and execution, excellent. But the big guys, effective on the short

:37:51. > :37:56.ball. Tying in the Ulster defenders. In-and-out, bouncing off tacklers,

:37:56. > :38:00.Tuilagi. That will be hugely rewarding for the coaching staff

:38:00. > :38:05.and will do this side's confidence the power of good. They had done

:38:05. > :38:12.that against a very good Ulster side that tyres -- that is capable

:38:59. > :39:05.-- that six point gap. Again, basics. But the ball had been

:39:05. > :39:12.brought back in. Lewis Robling was not aware of that fact. The line-

:39:12. > :39:17.out 20 metres out, slightly different prospect to 40 metres out.

:39:17. > :39:24.Yes, and just scored as well, concentration. You do not want to

:39:24. > :39:34.be surrendering territory and possession like that. Back-pass was

:39:34. > :39:56.

:39:56. > :40:06.to get the ball back. Toby Faletau has done well. Great work. Superb

:40:06. > :40:12.

:40:12. > :40:17.angle to work with. The pressure will be right back on the Dragons

:40:17. > :40:27.following that great defensive work from Toby Faletau. He had a

:40:27. > :40:39.

:40:39. > :40:42.decision to make, when to commit. here with their lead intact, but

:40:42. > :40:48.will certainly put a spring in their step to come out for the

:40:48. > :40:58.second half. But the pressure is straight back on. Williams, the

:40:58. > :41:10.

:41:10. > :41:16.there in case Gilroy came looking. It is Williams. He has gone all the

:41:16. > :41:26.way. So effective, so easily done. Williams gets yet another try to

:41:26. > :41:32.his list. That is a 4th this year. Ulster are just a point behind with

:41:32. > :41:42.a conversion to come. We knew he would be paying -- playing a bigger

:41:42. > :41:46.

:41:46. > :41:50.role. Short a yardage this time. He slips the tackle. Someone like Nick

:41:50. > :42:00.Williams has to be met hard and fast on the gain-line. You cannot

:42:00. > :42:08.

:42:08. > :42:16.Ulster take the lead. Darren Edwards, your views on the first

:42:17. > :42:21.try? We also have that mindset, it took us 14 phases. You have to have

:42:21. > :42:31.patience to break down in very good side. Williams is having a big

:42:31. > :42:40.

:42:40. > :42:50.on that occasion but stolen back by tackle. He holds it like a little

:42:50. > :42:56.

:42:56. > :43:06.takes some stopping, but he is also capable of that. Born in Auckland

:43:06. > :43:11.

:43:11. > :43:21.and has had spells with Munster and as if he has been around a lot

:43:21. > :43:29.

:01:34. > :01:38.milestone tonight. He is celebrating his 50th birthday. We

:01:38. > :01:43.have been digging into the archives for some of his best bits. He is a

: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

:02:13. > :02:21.Davies. Taking on the All Blacks virtually single-handedly from that

:02:25. > :02:30.anniversary next week of the famous victory for Llanelli against New

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

:02:57. > :03:06.was played in cold and wet conditions. It was ultimately

:03:12. > :03:16.Famous scenes at Rodney Parade. We can now go down to the touch side

:03:16. > :03:21.and speak to a man who played a significant part in that victory.

: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.

:03:31. > :03:41.He was outside half when the Newport -- when the All Blacks lost

:03:41. > :03:45.

: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

:03:54. > :04:04.the Lions -- the All Blacks, I beg your pardon, with great astute and

: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.

:04:34. > :04:39.memories and great to see you. Glamorgan Wanderers are getting

:04:39. > :04:43.together tonight to celebrate 25 years since their win against the

:06:08. > :06:14.He took a knock at the end of the first half. It is Steve Jones that

:06:14. > :06:16.has been penalised at the start of the second half. That will give

:35:03. > :35:08.very good tackle from Andrew composure from Ulster and that is

:35:08. > :35:13.why they are ahead. If we stop, we can see Tommy Bowe and the black --

:35:14. > :35:22.back players flashing across the side. They are flashing again over

:35:22. > :35:25.the other side. Causing problems for the defence. It results in Cave

:35:25. > :35:35.crashing over for the 4th try. They have more organisation in defence

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

:36:38. > :36:43.facets to their game now back -- than just a good defence. Close-

: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

:37:11. > :37:13.

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

:37:23. > :38:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:38:26. > :38:30.spaces so quickly. A lot of sides would have looked to clear from

:38:30. > :38:40.here but no problem. And how all of this for a basic skill? It is the

:38:40. > :39:00.

:39:00. > :39:10.the end of the game now that gives Tommy Bowe were a chance to

:39:31. > :39:37.Trimble coming across on the blind side, creating extra numbers. That

: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

:40:41. > :40:53.

: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

:41:03. > :41:09.interviewee you with 10 minutes to go and you are behind. Is this

: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

:43:14. > :43:24.comfort? It has been another good -- Pat Leach. That is all the

:43:24. > :44:14.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:44:14. > :44:24.out of this Ulster defence. And eventually, the ball is back in the

:44:24. > :44:46.

: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. > :45:02.

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

:45:50. > :46:00.options. Very impressed with the It has been a tough battle for the

: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

:50:49. > :51:04.

: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

:57:25. > :57:35.experience be missed in Adam Jones. They have four big-game is coming
