:00:22. > :00:31.at a week on the road, all for Welsh regions were at home this weekend.
:00:31. > :00:38.-- after a week. We have all of the action from the latest trend. The
:00:38. > :00:43.European row intensifies, we assess the potential fallout in Wales. This
:00:43. > :00:48.is putting everybody under immense pressure. The Scarlets have been
:00:48. > :00:58.long renowned for their running rugby, we turned the spotlight on
:00:58. > :01:01.the grunt up front. Good evening, welcome to Scrum V, Kingsley Jones
:01:01. > :01:07.and Martyn Williams are here to give us the latest on the latest European
:01:07. > :01:27.rugby row, but we first started with the Dragons versus zebra. -- Zebre
:01:27. > :01:37.the Dragons were trying to maintain a 100% record.
:01:37. > :01:43.Jason Tovey is underneath it. That is a beautiful burst from the fly
:01:43. > :01:58.half. All going loose. A loose ball, they have to tidy this
:01:58. > :02:10.up a little bit. Richie Rees getting it away. Dan Evans try to get
:02:10. > :02:15.outside. Cannot quite get through. Over two Toby Faletau, trying to get
:02:15. > :02:22.in a few Zebre defenders. Illegally snaffled by the home forwards. 18
:02:22. > :02:33.minutes gone. Jason Tovey to double the home lead. No problems for that
:02:33. > :02:41.one with Jason Tovey. Leonard get it away and the Dragons are under
:02:41. > :02:49.pressure. A beautiful tackle by Dan Evans. Great recovery work from the
:02:49. > :02:55.full-back. Leonard put it in. That has put a Leonard in trouble. It is
:02:55. > :03:09.flipped up to Hallam Amos, and the teenager gets the first strike --
:03:09. > :03:14.try before half-time. Looking for support, he gets it from Jason Tovey
:03:14. > :03:22.on the outside, and it is a second try for the young medical student,
:03:22. > :03:26.Hallam Amos for the Dragons. Zebre moving forward. They will get a
:03:26. > :03:35.penalty of nothing else. The advantage is being played. Brendon
:03:35. > :03:43.Leonard points where he is going to put it. A Leonardo Sarto. A couple
:03:43. > :03:52.of first half chances. The first point for Zebre. Richie Rees
:03:52. > :04:05.prepares to put in. Zebre a man down. Lewis Evans has it. Can he
:04:06. > :04:13.forced his way down? -- force. A try is given. That surely seals it for
:04:13. > :04:19.the Dragons. For us to restrict them to seven points with a a few minutes
:04:20. > :04:24.on the clock was positive for us. We took our opportunities when they
:04:24. > :04:28.arose, it was efficient for us. Unfortunately we did not pick up the
:04:28. > :04:32.bonus at the end, we have got a lot of growth to do and a lot of
:04:32. > :04:39.learning and understanding. But we are moving in the right direction.
:04:39. > :04:47.Another home win, unbeaten at home, the Dragons, disappointed not to
:04:47. > :04:52.pick up the bonus point? Yes, that was a good win, but we have got a
:04:52. > :04:59.lot of learning to do, a lot of good players there. We have got to
:04:59. > :05:01.remember that Zebre improved. They got a bonus point against Glasgow
:05:01. > :05:06.the week four, Beano how good Glasgow can play. They have got
:05:06. > :05:09.Brendon Leonard in half back, they really have got a mentality that if
:05:09. > :05:13.they are going to lose, they will lose playing. But they really play,
:05:13. > :05:17.they keep playing, they try to collect bonus points. We have to
:05:17. > :05:22.remain positive, the defence was excellent. They squeezed one try.
:05:22. > :05:29.Overall, a lot of positivity to look at. Toby Faletau, phenomenal player,
:05:29. > :05:36.looks like he has got a licence to run a bit more this season, how good
:05:36. > :05:39.is the? He is in sensational form. He is one of those players that when
:05:39. > :05:45.you mention Leigh Halfpenny, Adam Jones for Wales, I think he is as
:05:46. > :05:52.important as them. I think he is head and shoulders above many of the
:05:52. > :05:55.players. I am sure that the Welsh team are hoping he will stay fit
:05:55. > :06:03.because he says the Seychelles player. -- he is a sensational
:06:03. > :06:07.player. Let's look at Scarlets and Glasgow now, and first, let's take a
:06:07. > :06:19.look behind-the-scenes. They are putting their new scrum behind
:06:19. > :06:27.timmy-macro through their paces. -- their new scrum through their paces.
:06:27. > :06:34.A powerful scrum determines the success of a set piece, so this is
:06:34. > :06:40.an integral part of training. The scrum can be an important weapon
:06:40. > :06:46.during the course of a game. Hold that shaped! So far so good. We are
:06:46. > :06:57.coming up against better scrums each week. Spinning round at a rate of
:06:57. > :07:04.knots. This season shows a very experienced player, Phil John, he is
:07:04. > :07:08.sharing his experience. His technical knowledge is superb. He
:07:08. > :07:10.has been behind a few very successful property and he has
:07:10. > :07:14.learned a lot from them and I had been really impressed with his
:07:14. > :07:18.leadership. We have given him a leadership role in the scrum, and he
:07:18. > :07:27.comes back with lots of feedback from the opposition. I give the boys
:07:27. > :07:35.a few tips. He is good to have on the squad. The younger players are
:07:35. > :07:40.continuing to have an impact, but how do they switch off after
:07:40. > :07:43.training? I relax? I go on the river, down to the White Springs,
:07:44. > :07:53.catching the fish, spend some time on my own. Just relax, really. He
:07:53. > :07:56.has been great, he has got a hunger for the scrum and he definitely has
:07:56. > :08:05.the personality and that aggressive streak that you need. Next scrum,
:08:05. > :08:13.please. The next scrum includes the input of match referee Matt Davis.
:08:13. > :08:24.If you can insist they get into the gap, it will help me.
:08:24. > :08:30.We do not want to be on the edge, as long as we are in a position where
:08:30. > :08:35.afterwards the referee will settle us, and against Glasgow, where do
:08:35. > :08:38.you think that scrum will go? They will try and walk around slightly.
:08:38. > :08:44.Stay square, if they break off, the referee will deal with them and we
:08:44. > :08:50.ghostwrite through the middle. OK, good. -- and we go straight to the
:08:50. > :08:55.middle. Unbeaten Glasgow made ten changes to
:08:55. > :08:59.the team that beat Zebre last week. Duncan Weir returning after six
:08:59. > :09:03.months on the sidelines with a broken leg. Sean Lamont was on the
:09:03. > :09:09.wing for the visitors will stop former Alaska warrior John Barclay
:09:10. > :09:20.was on the flat for the hosts. -- Glasgow Warriors.
:09:20. > :09:26.The Scarlets are trying to reform, and Glasgow seem to be number is
:09:26. > :09:30.wide, but they are going through the forwards for the moment. Another
:09:30. > :09:35.thrust and drive and you're comes the try. Ryan Bland is the loose
:09:35. > :09:46.head. He claims that. -- Ryan Grant is the loose head. Good, quick ball
:09:46. > :09:53.again. Liam Williams needed to put that tackle in. The advantages with
:09:54. > :09:59.Glasgow at the moment, but they are still pressing. Swinton is right
:09:59. > :10:07.over the top. They have got number is going right, but they, left
:10:07. > :10:13.instead. -- numbers going right. The forward will overcook it, because
:10:13. > :10:17.the back is trying to get behind there. The forward looking for a
:10:17. > :10:24.pass, Tim Swinson! It's looks like it could be try number two for
:10:25. > :10:32.Glasgow for Tim Swinson. Rhys Priestland, a change of direction.
:10:33. > :10:39.He puts in a lovely little chip as well for Gareth Mauer. There is a
:10:40. > :10:45.spring in their step in the second half. Slow down illegally, says
:10:45. > :10:49.Rhodri Williams. Slow down, certainly.
:10:49. > :10:58.This was meant for Liam Williams. Confusion in the defence. It is
:10:59. > :11:06.Jordan Williams. Liam Williams! Between them, somehow, they can try
:11:06. > :11:12.and stop the scorer. It was great footwork initially by Jordan to
:11:12. > :11:21.stand up, and Duncan Weir made the gap, and he could not go for it.
:11:21. > :11:26.Jordan Williams looking for the inside ball. Coming back with a
:11:26. > :11:44.penalty. And simplicity itself. Easy as that.
:11:45. > :11:56.Straight between the posts. Jordan Williams puts the Scarlets back
:11:56. > :11:57.within a kick. The last line-out. Phillips is back up on his feet and
:11:57. > :12:14.battling for the ball. Glasgow's visits down to the Scarlet
:12:15. > :12:23.territory had been very, very infrequent in the second half. This
:12:23. > :12:30.gives Duncan Weir a little bit of breathing space again. Sean Lamont,
:12:30. > :12:39.looking to set up the counter. Sean Maitland... Good hands. Good hands
:12:39. > :12:44.from Sean Maitland, looking for runners on his shoulder, and he
:12:45. > :12:49.finds them. Sean Lamont looking for the off-load, just ten metres short
:12:49. > :12:56.of the line. That is great tackling by the Scarlets. One more pass, I
:12:56. > :13:00.think they would been home. Disappointing, because we played
:13:00. > :13:05.some good stuff at times, just about get that final pass for we missed a
:13:05. > :13:10.couple of tackles which allowed them to get some momentum early in the
:13:10. > :13:14.game. At home defeat for the Scarlets,
:13:14. > :13:21.what went wrong for Simon Easterby's men? They feel freely in
:13:21. > :13:24.the first ten minutes to get anything going, albeit against a
:13:24. > :13:29.very well coached and very good Glasgow side, as you said. A good
:13:29. > :13:34.throw, a good line-out at the back, not quite precise enough, and great
:13:34. > :13:38.offence from the Glasgow tailgunner at the back. Seven Scarlets playing
:13:38. > :13:43.that first breakdown way in front of the gain line. It allows Glasgow to
:13:43. > :13:46.organise themselves. The same again. A few minutes later, some wider
:13:46. > :13:51.play, some good attack from Glasgow, and to look at them in the
:13:51. > :13:59.breakdown, again, five players from the Scarlets having to recycle the
:13:59. > :14:01.ball. Glasgow are allowed to reorganise, they wait for the
:14:01. > :14:03.flashback player and we see another six, seven players from the Scarlets
:14:03. > :14:07.having to recover the ball, and eventually, saying wide with Gareth
:14:07. > :14:14.and war and just Rhys Priestland recycles that ball, which he fails
:14:14. > :14:17.to do. You have got a player that was around any loose player last
:14:17. > :14:22.night. This was the difference in the first half for both teams. He
:14:22. > :14:27.got Glasgow going forward. This tap and go, nobody laid a hand on him
:14:27. > :14:30.for a few metres, and that led to the first try for Glasgow. There you
:14:30. > :14:34.can see him, giving a high five. Man of the match on the night, and a
:14:34. > :14:38.real exciting player for Glasgow as Glasgow are some sides to make ten
:14:38. > :14:51.changes and get that win, because the Scarlets did not play that
:14:51. > :14:56.badly, but excellent from Glasgow. This is the end of the Heineken Cup?
:14:56. > :15:08.A rights row has engulfed the competition and it could have a
:15:08. > :15:20.major impact on rugby in Wales. It is here that in likelihood, it will
:15:20. > :15:26.end. Last Monday's launch should've been a chance to promote the most
:15:26. > :15:33.exciting rugby tournaments of the northern hemisphere. There was one
:15:33. > :15:43.topic on everybody's lips. The end of rugby as we know it. As we speak,
:15:43. > :15:50.there is a zero possibility of the European clubs participating. They
:15:50. > :15:55.are not entering into talks. They want the autonomy to run the
:15:55. > :16:02.tournaments about what they see as the obstructive interference. So why
:16:02. > :16:07.is this competition hitting the skids? There are a number of
:16:07. > :16:11.reasons. It comes down to money and power. The English and French clubs
:16:11. > :16:17.robbery do not have enough of either. They were fed up with a
:16:17. > :16:24.system that saw some pro 12 sides qualify automatically while there's
:16:24. > :16:25.had to fight to get into the top six of their domestic leagues. They also
:16:25. > :16:45.claim they were being short-changed. They say it should be split three
:16:45. > :16:56.ways, with each league getting a third. We are not involved after
:16:56. > :17:01.this season because we have served notice, a valid notice, as have the
:17:01. > :17:14.French that nobody has been surprised about are challenged. - -
:17:14. > :17:18.or challenged. It does not mean we are done with European competition.
:17:18. > :17:24.What we have done is put a stake in the ground and said, we are moving
:17:24. > :17:28.forward from here. We have put some concrete proposals into place. We
:17:28. > :17:44.have announced the champions cup, we have encouraged anybody who wants to
:17:44. > :17:47.join to join with others. Roger Lewis offered his services as a
:17:47. > :17:51.go-between, acknowledging that maybe the emission French clubs had a
:17:51. > :17:55.point. It is when 16 months and is a first said they were leaving. The
:17:55. > :18:02.clock is ticking louder than ever. I remain confident that an agreement
:18:02. > :18:10.can be achieved. I was involved seven years ago, we had similar
:18:10. > :18:14.issues and we reached an agreement. It took as to the end of the season.
:18:14. > :18:27.We did not reach the agreement until the final of the Heineken Cup at
:18:27. > :18:39.Twickenham. We're absolutely united. We are prepared to accept
:18:39. > :18:44.meritocracy. We are prepared for an equitable distribution. Nigel Davies
:18:44. > :18:51.is a man with a unique perspective. Former international player, former
:18:51. > :19:01.Welsh coach, his few now comes from the other side. The fact we're
:19:01. > :19:04.trying to do with this issue now is putting everybody under immense
:19:04. > :19:10.pressure. I am really concerned about the outcome. One thing is
:19:10. > :19:24.Wishaw. Things will change. I cannot see any other way. - - one thing is
:19:24. > :19:31.for sure. It is a key moment in the professional game of rugby. So that
:19:31. > :19:35.may be eight months to run before the tournament as we know it comes
:19:35. > :19:47.to an end, but the effects of the potential demise are being felt
:19:47. > :19:53.already. It is a significant chunk of money. Last week, we learnt the
:19:53. > :20:00.Blues were not able to offer Sam Warburton a new contract because of
:20:00. > :20:04.the ongoing financial uncertainty. A number of other senior
:20:04. > :20:07.internationals are out of contract at the end of this season as well as
:20:07. > :20:14.Sam Warburton. £1 million has been set aside to help people in Wales,
:20:14. > :20:18.but that would be released until certain conditions are met. One
:20:18. > :20:25.sticking point is the signing of a new participation agreement. Scrum
:20:25. > :20:28.five understands the regions are reluctant to put pen to paper until
:20:28. > :20:34.they know what competitions they will be playing in next season.
:20:34. > :20:43.Everybody has to manage their risk accordingly. Risk has been taken.
:20:43. > :20:49.The card in Cardiff Blues have signed Gethin Jenkins. - - the
:20:49. > :20:56.Cardiff Blues have signed Gethin Jenkins. What is a delay with the
:20:56. > :21:01.money being given to the regions? We are waiting to hear back from the
:21:01. > :21:08.regions. We met with them last week. We outlined our joint views on
:21:09. > :21:15.players. They were right not between discussions. - - they were arrived
:21:15. > :21:20.at at discussions. We agreed with the regions that the new agreement
:21:20. > :21:33.will be signed between July this year and December this year. We now
:21:33. > :21:37.await that. Without that, there is no certainty for the regions or
:21:38. > :21:42.ourselves. What are the consequences if the regions don't sign this
:21:42. > :21:49.agreement? He said the deadline is Christmas. - - you said the deadline
:21:49. > :22:01.is Christmas. What are the consequences? This timescale was
:22:01. > :22:05.agreed together. If one doesn't sign the agreement, there is no region.
:22:05. > :22:18.That is a consequence of not signing. We have two thing, what is
:22:18. > :22:26.the future. What would it mean practically? It means they would not
:22:26. > :22:28.be playing in Europe, not receiving the money from the Welsh Rugby Union
:22:28. > :22:33.World Cup they would not have insurance for their players, and
:22:33. > :22:37.they would not have any referees. This is an extreme case scenario.
:22:37. > :22:42.But it shows how damaging effect can be. The regions could find
:22:42. > :22:48.themselves between a rock and a hard place. Sign up and potentially have
:22:48. > :23:00.no European rugby. Break ranks and find themselves stuck as well. The
:23:00. > :23:03.fans feel powerless in this. Political manoeuvring aside, what
:23:03. > :23:10.they want to know is quite simply, will it survive? It has to be
:23:10. > :23:32.compromise, give and take. With the right people, I feel we can get this
:23:32. > :23:36.competition up and running again. We hope teams come to some consensual
:23:36. > :23:42.position where they realise this is in their interest. We are losing
:23:42. > :23:54.times in Wales in signing some of the Welsh stars.
:23:54. > :24:02.So, a stark warning from Nigel Davies. On the regions being between
:24:02. > :24:06.a rock and a hard place, one newspaper today suggested the
:24:06. > :24:11.English clubs have given the Welsh clubs are deadline of the end of
:24:11. > :24:15.October. To break ranks would mean to lose your bread and butter
:24:15. > :24:23.competition. Can you realistically see that happen? Why would you
:24:23. > :24:30.divorce yourself from the governing body? I watch the show last week.
:24:30. > :24:36.There is big money there. We don't know how long that will be there. To
:24:36. > :24:42.break ranks for that is nonsense. The key thing is compromise on as
:24:42. > :24:53.Roger said. We need to get round the table and agree to stick together.
:24:53. > :24:59.The Premier Rugby chief executive said today he is willing to meet
:24:59. > :25:04.Roger Lewis, who has offered to be the peacemaker. This is a row
:25:04. > :25:10.between rival TV companies, neither of whom will want to budge. Can you
:25:10. > :25:18.see a compromise? I really don't know how. The clubs have signed a
:25:18. > :25:31.deal with Beattie and the unions won with sky. - - one with Sky. It is
:25:31. > :25:40.also a battle, Martin, about the soul of the game. They have accused
:25:40. > :25:50.the unions of not maximising the commercial benefit of the existing
:25:50. > :25:59.competition. Is the Gulf to wide? It seems to be at the moment. People
:25:59. > :26:04.are being stubborn and not trying to move the game forward. Everybody
:26:04. > :26:14.seems to be in agreement that you need to be in a top six. Ultimately,
:26:14. > :26:19.it is about the power. I think the Celtic nations need those more than
:26:19. > :26:29.they need us. If the Welsh regions go without rugby for a year, they
:26:29. > :26:34.would probably go bankrupt. On the back of our lives, as Nigel
:26:34. > :26:43.mentioned, it is a bad time for recruitment. People are being
:26:43. > :26:51.poached by the French clubs. You feel sorry for the regions. That is
:26:51. > :27:01.a related issue, isn't it? The uncertainty. How are we in this
:27:01. > :27:14.situation where six are out of contract? It is a business. A player
:27:14. > :27:26.is not going to turn himself - - tie himself up before a Lions tour. It
:27:26. > :27:33.is a professional game now. That is just a game. Five or six of the big
:27:33. > :27:46.players will not want to stay in Wales. Because of all that has gone
:27:46. > :27:53.on, nothing can be done at the moment. The union won the regions to
:27:53. > :28:01.sign this participation agreement before Christmas. - - want the
:28:01. > :28:05.regions. We think there are some strings attached. Do you think that
:28:05. > :28:16.million pounds that has been mentioned is a significant amount of
:28:16. > :28:22.money? Is it enough? I understand it is between the regions.
:28:22. > :28:28.Realistically, if we sign a play on 250,000, and we have four of those
:28:28. > :28:32.players, are we going to share that to supplement the wage? Will that
:28:32. > :28:49.make a difference? I don't think it will. It is a gesture. I do not
:28:49. > :28:52.think it is enough. How many games? The Blues are probably thinking they
:28:52. > :28:55.need extra money to replace a player of that quality. That is how I saw
:28:55. > :29:09.it in the English game. It goes back to the old argument, is
:29:09. > :29:13.it better to spend the money on three players that will be there all
:29:13. > :29:20.season, rather than one player that will be there half the season? ! We
:29:20. > :29:24.have said this, you pay them more money for the player you see the
:29:24. > :29:28.less, which makes no sense. People need to realise that just because
:29:28. > :29:34.you sign somebody with only half the pay, but is not the answer to all
:29:34. > :29:37.the questions. We miss out on the level that the overseas players
:29:37. > :29:41.get, the quality they get, they are the bedrock in the size, they are
:29:41. > :29:45.now going to France or to England, so the strength in the regional
:29:45. > :29:49.squads, yes, maybe they will not be going to the big French teams, but
:29:49. > :29:56.to sustain it out the year in the competition, it is still a long way
:29:56. > :30:03.off. We saw with Ulster and Munster, they signed some quality players.
:30:03. > :30:10.They play for the regional art. Now that the champ Richard have changed
:30:10. > :30:14.a bit, the players are away. -- out that the Championships have changed.
:30:15. > :30:24.We believe the Heineken Cup, stay with us because there is more online
:30:24. > :30:28.which follows after the programme. Get in touch with us on text and on
:30:28. > :30:36.Twitter. Now, we look at the Premiership.
:30:36. > :30:42.Queen's continued their superb started the boasting an unbeaten
:30:42. > :30:52.winner of five wins from five following their clash with
:30:52. > :30:56.Crosskeys. It is now three wins in a row for Cardiff. They won their game
:30:56. > :31:02.inside ten minutes and the blues and blacks went 14 point player. Richard
:31:02. > :31:06.Smith scored one of the three tries. It still wasn't enough for the
:31:06. > :31:11.victory. Newport got their season back on track with a bonus point
:31:11. > :31:15.victory over Swansea in an entertaining encounter at Rodney
:31:15. > :31:24.Parade that saw them scoring six tries. Their last was a super
:31:24. > :31:28.interception try. Bridgend ravens won their first game of the season
:31:28. > :31:33.cruising to victory at the Brewery Field. The home side looked more
:31:33. > :31:38.likely to win, but it took two late tries to secure a much-needed
:31:38. > :31:48.victory for the ravens. A hugely competitive battle ending in
:31:48. > :32:00.rheumatic fashion with this one. -- dramatic fashion. A draw in injury
:32:00. > :32:03.time. Today, there was this match as the bridge field for a late
:32:03. > :32:35.kick-off. -- at the Bridgefield. Back to the pro 12, we go back to
:32:35. > :32:37.Cardiff Arms Park this afternoon, but firstly, the ospreys versus
:32:37. > :32:50.Ulster. Ulster arrived at the Liberty
:32:50. > :32:55.Stadium eager to bring the host's unbeaten home run to an end. Alun
:32:55. > :32:59.Wyn Jones making his 150th appearance. One of the five from the
:32:59. > :33:23.Lions tour in a double pack. Pulls down illegally. That was the
:33:23. > :33:34.first real line-out we saw this evening. Some dirty play coming up.
:33:34. > :33:41.You cannot go up around the neck in the maul. Be very careful. This
:33:41. > :33:50.would be the final kick of the first half. It is struck. A great kick.
:33:50. > :33:57.Struck straight down the middle by Dan Biggar. That is a real bonus for
:33:57. > :34:13.the ospreys in such a great game. Very little to choose in starts
:34:13. > :34:32.between the two teams in the first half. Mike Allen was told clearly
:34:32. > :34:40.not to follow that Kate. -- kick. Three from three so far this
:34:40. > :34:46.evening. Never looks like missing. A testing time. This will be a testing
:34:47. > :34:52.time for the referee, I have to say. Because if it goes down, it is going
:34:52. > :34:55.to be a difficult decision. He has stepped over to see what is
:34:55. > :35:01.happening between Tom caught and Adam Jones. Team-mates for a short
:35:01. > :35:20.while on the Lions tour. -- between Tom caught -- Tom Court. No problem
:35:20. > :35:26.at all, the first point of the evening for Paddy Jackson and for
:35:26. > :35:37.Ulster. Three wins and a draw. What would they give now for a draw at
:35:37. > :35:45.home to Ulster? And this will suit Ulster even more. Plus the fact that
:35:45. > :35:51.there will be a yellow card. The Ospreys will finish with 14 men as
:35:51. > :35:56.Aaron Jarvis is sent to the sin bin. Not so much pressure on Jackson this
:35:56. > :36:02.time as there was last time. But the result is exactly the same. It is
:36:02. > :36:14.six from six for Paddy Jackson and it looks like he has guided Ulster
:36:14. > :36:19.home. Here comes the drive from the Ospreys! They can sense read the
:36:19. > :36:27.ball is! Offside anyway, even though Michael Heaney was there!
:36:27. > :36:33.Disappointed with the results, not the performance we wanted, but we
:36:33. > :36:41.will go back to the drawing board and try and get that sorted.
:36:41. > :36:48.Both sides arrived at the Arms park with just one win apiece this
:36:48. > :36:53.season. Edinburgh captain Greig Laidlaw returned with some
:36:53. > :36:55.experience, whilst Gethin Jenkins brought back some experience from
:36:55. > :37:15.Toulon. Harry Robinson, back inside to
:37:16. > :37:25.Williams! Robinson! Williams still going! A great tackle from Dougie
:37:25. > :37:29.Fife! Straighten up! Cory Allen! Cuthbert on the outside, and
:37:29. > :37:37.Cuthbert finishes that as we all know he can! A superb counterattack
:37:37. > :37:42.from the Cardiff Blues, and despite the best efforts defensively by
:37:42. > :37:50.Edinburgh, Alex Cuthbert gets another to his tally. David Denton
:37:50. > :37:56.driving on and laying it back again. Still, they cannot get over that try
:37:57. > :38:06.line. They have got white line fever. He has tackled. He is on the
:38:06. > :38:17.floor. If he is on the floor, he is out of the game. That cannot be a
:38:17. > :38:27.try. That is no scorer. Straighten up, straighten up. Back inside.
:38:27. > :38:34.Leigh Halfpenny. A great try. A lovely pass by Warburton, to Alex
:38:34. > :38:38.Cuthbert, a second bite cup Bert. That should be a matchwinner. What a
:38:38. > :38:57.way to win a match. A great still eight, it is cut
:38:57. > :39:04.breath again. -- cup Bert again. A great still very. -- it is Alex cut
:39:04. > :39:28.breath again, a great if we do is show second have
:39:28. > :39:33.patience more fun, then get over the try line, then we will be a handful
:39:33. > :39:54.for anybody. -- second have patience.
:39:55. > :40:01.In the few military have got left, let's have a look at Europe, the
:40:01. > :40:07.first round of the Heineken Cup. -- the few minutes we have got left.
:40:07. > :40:12.Ospreys and Leinster, harlequins and Scarlets, and Exeter and the blues,
:40:12. > :40:18.which is the best representation of victory for the Welsh side? The
:40:19. > :40:26.harlequins, they lost yesterday, London Irish have been struggling.
:40:26. > :40:31.If I could pick one or two, I would think Ospreys at home against
:40:31. > :40:36.Leinster. It gives the extra edge to Ospreys. They will be hurting over
:40:36. > :40:39.that. I would not like to be the next team at the Liberty Stadium,
:40:39. > :40:44.they want to but that record straight, so that will help them to
:40:44. > :40:50.the win. Sometimes the defeat gives you the kick up the backside that
:40:50. > :40:57.you need, I guess? Yes, they will be heard, they were 12-0 up on Saturday
:40:57. > :41:02.night, and they were against Leinster, so I think the Cardiff
:41:02. > :41:06.Blues, they got confidence from today, not an outstanding
:41:06. > :41:14.performance, but a great last 30 minutes. Going to Exeter, a
:41:14. > :41:21.difficult side, but that game can be won. Also, Tom James and Ceri
:41:21. > :41:24.Sweeney down there? Yes, they did a great job down there, Baxter has
:41:24. > :41:33.done a great job, players that other sides did not want, he has
:41:33. > :41:40.galvanised them, so they will be difficult to beat in Exeter. Exeter
:41:40. > :41:43.is a tough place to go. How important is a victory out of that
:41:43. > :41:52.first block of pro 12 fixtures to going to Europe? It is all about the
:41:52. > :41:58.mental, Ospreys had a defeat going into it. They had a blip in this
:41:58. > :42:04.season. It is important, important for the Cardiff Blues, a lot of
:42:04. > :42:07.pressure building. Today, it is good for them to have Edinburgh, it could
:42:07. > :42:11.be a better team, it could've been tougher, but good luck to them, it
:42:12. > :42:19.could have been a better win. That is it from us, log onto our website
:42:19. > :42:20.straight out of the programme for more. Now, the five tries of the
:42:20. > :42:32.month chosen by Kingsley Jones. Going for the corner! That is
:42:32. > :42:53.absolutely brilliant! Insights to the replacement. Look at
:42:53. > :43:00.this! Here is Leonard! He is over. It is a third try!
:43:00. > :43:10.Samson Lee, really getting into the pace. That is a brilliant run from
:43:10. > :43:21.Gareth Davies! All the way! What a try! Superb!
:43:21. > :43:32.Great gas by Alex Cuthbert. Still going, Alex Cuthbert! What a try by
:43:32. > :43:40.Alex Cuthbert! What a strike by the Blues!
:43:40. > :43:48.They're here is! All the way here, surely! Will he be called? Know he
:43:48. > :43:51.will not! That seals it off in style!
