It is around 12 of the Pro12 and the race for the top four is heating up. | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
Leinster would were looking to gold topped with a rare victory at the | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Liberty Stadium on Friday. The Scarlets two could have returned to | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
the summit with a win over Connacht. There were a Tabasco law. -- a | :00:35. | :00:48. | |
Basker law. Can the underdogs produce a shock as a mark and the | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
war but is reveal one of the most commendable tricks. What's the worst | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
thing you have forgotten? I did genuine even get his birthday. | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
Shocking. Believing and welcome to the programme. A star-studded panel | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
is always on scrum five. Jonathan Davies, Martyn Williams and Ryan | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Jones. All year to offer their expert analysis of the weekend 's | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
action. We are good to start with a Ospreys. Hoping to stand their | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
five-game winning streak against Leinster in the stadium. Our cameras | :01:23. | :01:35. | |
were with them all week. It start of the wellness monitor. Because at | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
that is just a profile the start of the day in terms some basic | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
questions and tested and Summers objective around things like saunas. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
Sleep quality. But the thing. As well as some more objective markers | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
around a range of motion, things accident reach, hamstring lie back, | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
car Fandango movements and sister. It is the way of starting the day to | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
see where we're at. To help is with that decision making process through | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
the day. We are always tried to keep the string side of things going. It | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
is a border from a muscle mass point of view. Across the week there will | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
generally be at least one up to sometimes three left that they will | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
compete. It may well be eight bodies A whole body left in the focus will | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
vary as well. The weather is pretty challenging at this point in the | :02:28. | :02:37. | |
year. We have multi-training purposes but in terms of just | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
managing the training mode commie, always indoors. The soft pitches can | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
aggravate some of the calf and hamstrings that we have got around | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
some of the groups. It is always about managing a good service. Saint | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
Helens is one of the best in Welsh rugby uncoupled along with that, it | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
is nice to come down to one of the traditional bases in our region. It | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
just freshens as they knelt as well. I don't want people chasing. Let's | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
get some line speed. What is that mean for tackling? If we are ongoing | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
with those two? You have got to work hard. The thing every game becomes | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
huge for us in this blog. The Six Nations looming on the horizon and | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
we will miss a lot of our big hitters. Points are paramount. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Hopefully we'll get a atmosphere of the liberty. The Leinster game is | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
always a good ding-dong with top international players going | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
head-to-head. And there were rest as for teenager Sam Underhill and Owen | :03:38. | :03:38. | |
Watkin. Leinster already out of Europe | :03:39. | :03:53. | |
arrived at the liberty fully loaded, boasting 19 international cinema | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
stay 23 with a combined total of 500 through the three caps. Victory | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
would have sent them to the top the league. | :04:02. | :04:11. | |
Great speed. Good break that first tackle and that is read determined | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
running tours that try line. Paula 's elbow. No it wasn't, says David | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Wilkinson. It looked all the world but it was. It is a free play. It is | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
a penalty. They should overdrive. His honours well outside. Dan Evans | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
up in the line. Dirksen outside. Evans, tackled by O'Brien. One | :04:35. | :04:46. | |
important as well. Dan Biggar looking for the drop goal to break | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
the deadlock and he slotted. Nicely done, Daniel Biggar. McGrath get it | :04:51. | :05:02. | |
out of Sexton. The cross kick to the other side this time about as well | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
weighted as well. Dave Kearney reaches out and makes it. The kicker | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
is precise. The taken the finish is very, very good. | :05:15. | :05:26. | |
Great steel. James King. Superb work by Owen Watkin. What a break. Looked | :05:27. | :05:39. | |
on the outside. Ask was not quite there. The races are now. Isa Nacewa | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
is leading by a country mile. Great work by one Watkin. It is what they | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
see in this youngster. Big space there. Sam Davies. Well played. | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
Nicely done to Brendon Leonard. He is isolated slightly though. He has | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
turned over. Knock-on. Unlucky for Luke McGrath. He just spilled it on | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
the second grass. The crowd having no effect on Jonny | :06:10. | :06:21. | |
Sexton. That is one way of shutting the crowd up. Have that. Where were | :06:22. | :06:31. | |
the back-seat is only there? The ball was lost, I think. A distance | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
away from Brendon Leonard. But Underhill does extremely well. But | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
has gone forward. Sam Underhill is having a standing evening. Yes | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
commie smashed him there. Again Sean O'Brien in the thick of | :06:44. | :07:04. | |
it. It is a penalty on. Not much in else on at the moment. Well, they | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
are building the pressure. They have just got to hopefully now... Dan | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Biggar will take this kick, they will get back up here, they have the | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
upper hand at the moment. This is not going to be a high-scoring game. | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
Dan Biggar successful. Ospreys back within a point. Jonny Sexton. Up | :07:26. | :07:38. | |
comes... Lovely off-load. Setser Noel Reid. So nicely. That is class | :07:39. | :07:47. | |
from Ben Te'o. What a brilliant off-load this is. The ball comes | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
out. The rerun. They have a second role against him. Goes on the | :07:51. | :08:04. | |
inside. Lovely off-load. You can see Leinster now, their tactical brain | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
is going. We will have a penalty or drop goal and robbed them of the | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
bonus point. Very well with Dan Dave Kearney slides in for a second, does | :08:17. | :08:30. | |
he? Has he got the ball down? Yes. Yes, he has. But is the one to | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
settle it. The thing we have got to make sure is that we learn and we | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
have probably been guilty of not taking the learning from games and | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
into trainings and padding to games over the past two weeks. Again, we | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
have got to make sure we regroup, just keep moving forward. | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
Leinster 's first victory at the liberty since 2009. It took them to | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
the top of the table. The Ospreys had more of their fair share than | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
possession but just lacked a cutting edge. There is, they would as | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
clinical. They had three opportunities and scored three | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
times. That was it. The well marshalled by Jonny Sexton. They had | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
just had that extra little X Factor when they needed it and that was the | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
difference really. Interims of the X factor behind, we saw Ben Te'o there | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
and we saw the winners, Dave Kearney coming into the game as well, was it | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
just those plays against what the Ospreys had quiz and marketed it was | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
a very good team effort but I think thought the Ospreys actively well | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
but they had the opportunities and they took them. If we look at the | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
first try and Leinster and Ireland always do this will stop just watch | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
this a minute. As the ball comes out, he has only just come on. He is | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
roughly the right position but look at the winger. He has to drop back. | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
As a winger, you have to drop a little bit and you see what is in | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
front. As a cc that, he could have moved up. Now we are scored in no | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
man's land. Sam Davies tries to tackle. It is brilliant executed. It | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
is a great finish. Second try, forwards, all front five, Baldwin | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
has a Rush of blood, get out of the line and that is an easy run in four | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
Ben Te'o. Again, dissenting special, offload, inside tracking and he is | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
over. That was the difference. The Ospreys pig territorial. Dan Biggar | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
kicked well. They were in the gale. They missed a couple of kicks which | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
might make the difference but when it came to the crunch, when the | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
opportunity think of it can't I was differently. They'll be frustrated. | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
They had good territory and good possession and it conceded tries | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
from two defensive tactical errors. Scott Baldwin has jumped out of the | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
line and come across and someone as has come over and blitzed. It has | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
cost them dear. The difference with that though, the forwards are going | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
well and we all are set against the Scarlets colleges pick and drive, | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
pick and drive. They do lack that cutting edge and pace out wide. If | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
you're in your own half in the 40 metre any, they have scored some | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
lovely tries in Europe but I think it is throwing the ball about | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
because they are chasing the bonus point. They have not really created | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
anything from distance which I can remember. And that holds them back | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
of the, I think. The King at the positives, much of the talk during | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
and after the game was the performance of 19 euros Sam | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
Underhill. That was made of the fact that Justin Tipuric was rested but | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
that man look to the manner born. Yeah, here's a guy that all players | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
are raving about. We saw a huge physical side of him on the weekend. | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
He is a young man who the mock Ospreys have managed to it | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
Gloucester. He is involved in everything. A lot of good in his | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
game. He has a huge physical presence. Time at him again, we saw | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
him getting stuck in. He gets Sean O'Brien relatively quiet. But there | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
was another guy, Owen Watkin. He was immature. Again the Ospreys have put | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
a lot of faith in him. He was involved in any season and he has | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
been held back on conditioning period, if you like, ready for this | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
period now over the 6-nations and finale of the league. That will | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
allow him to Caernarfon stab at this level. Again, he is a young man in | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
aim real man's body. He is a big lump. The driver selection, with | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
what is on the night, it is a public address, I suppose you rests on guys | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
with an eye on Europe, two very big fixtures in Europe coming up front. | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
Due off to look at the Pro12. The Ospreys now in seven. Should they | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
have go that fixture as Leinster did Mark is a difficult situation. They | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
have such a poor start in the World Cup, they are behind already in the | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
league. In real danger of missing out on top six was look at the | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
league table, you will see later on, they played more games than the | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
others around them. They are four points adrift of six. The latter | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
given huge gravity still be in the European tour about this stage. They | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
are only have crew but they have had to forfeit really a home game | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
against Leinster. Clermont Auvergne NetSuite is one of the biggest game | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
the region have had in a long time. The loser, they are out of Europe | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
and they are behind in the lead as well. As it is the first Sunday sure | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
the year, we thought we would remind you what happened over the festive | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
period and for those who did tune in, we had some Christmas crackers | :13:22. | :13:34. | |
to savour. Tom James outside him. Tom James, this will be a try for | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
the Blues. Huge kick the Rhys Patchell. The flags go up. The | :13:41. | :13:54. | |
fullback has done it for the Blues. What a run, gives it a Walker on the | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
outside. But is brilliant by Dmitri Arhip. Do or die for the Scarlets. | :13:59. | :14:08. | |
From the boot of Steven Shingler. Has he pulled it question mark | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
guess, he has. And the Ospreys have held on to the closest of victories. | :14:15. | :14:25. | |
They get over in the end. Eventually, something had to give. | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
What an incredible game. The Blues take the spoils. There was a welcome | :14:32. | :14:42. | |
return from injury for John Barclay on the openside, Samson Lee, Ken | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Owens Rob Evans fold and all international front row. Behind the | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
scrum, Regan King return the starting line-up, while Aled Davies | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
started at scrum-half in the absence of namesake Gareth, who was out with | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
an illness. Pat Lam 's side were looking to end a three-game losing | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
streak but would have to make history to do so, having never won | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
at Parc y Scarlets. Their site featured just one change from the | :15:05. | :15:17. | |
one that lost to Leinster. Remember, Connacht are down to 14. Good vision | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
from the scrum-half spotting that gap. Jack Carty again. Ronaldson. | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
Well tackled by Steff Evans. A bit of work now for the scholars to do | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
as well. Excellent tackle on Jake Heenan. They could go upstairs. Thus | :15:34. | :15:45. | |
they're going to go upstairs. Anybody the ball will do. Adding | :15:46. | :15:54. | |
that is a try. It is now gone green, scrum five. Good luck pass. Here is | :15:55. | :16:06. | |
an opportunity. One-handed off-load. It is a straight foot race and at | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Healy is going all the way. From his own 22. Often the best way to | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
attack, the best place to attack from and after some good handling, | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
Matt Healy goes over try the game. It is great work again. He is over | :16:18. | :16:35. | |
in the corner. They will go upstairs surely but after some lovely | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
build-up play, Matt Healy is over in the corner. It is another one of | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
those. Does he have done the pressure got him out now. He has | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
dropped at. That is the right decision. It is Davies again. Lewis | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
Rawlins continues the movement. Regan King. Floats one of the parks. | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
Flat torque across the line to Evans and it is Evans over in the corner. | :17:05. | :17:14. | |
Very well worked try the Scarlets. Williams, flat ball to Regan King. | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
They have numbers outside. Flows to his fullback. Can he get there? | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
Comment and it's over. Centigrade is a try that the Scarlets aired. Jack | :17:30. | :17:41. | |
Carty, well... Iris and what used to do. They'll go back from penalty. | :17:42. | :18:06. | |
Great strike. Hamid Ansari see it where... Shingler is on the pitch | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
and he has the opportunity. And there it is. Well, it is yellow card | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
offence. And that means that will be a penalty. 93 seconds to go, the | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
Scarlets might have an opportunity to take the lead. Strike the ball, | :18:28. | :18:39. | |
the crowd will tell you that that has gone over. Once again, it is | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
Steven Shingler. A broad smile from the replace and outside-half. He has | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
kept his nerve. Playing them in three weeks' time at their place, it | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
is important to get a result. We got stuck in and we knew it would be an | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
effort and that is what it took. We had quite a few opportunities there | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
and suddenly we got our attacking game back and we did not finish a | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
few tries. Yeah, it was tough at the end there to take and I said at the | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
beginning of the game, it would be close. Two good teams and they | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
scored a lot of good tries to. Fortunately we got pipped at the end | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
there. Pat Lam not quite as angry as we thought he may have been posed | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
much. It was an intriguing one because both sides have shared the | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
lead of this table for most of this season so far but both were coming | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
into it after the back of disappointing Christmas period. A | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
big win for the Scarlets. It is a massive win. Irrespective of how it | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
came. Some of the tries. I thought Regan King was Brion. I thought that | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
they were slightly lucky we the TMO. As of three of us agreed. It was a | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
definite try by Masterson. But a Brion game. A big win. They were | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
little bit importunate to get away with it. Let's have a closer look at | :19:59. | :20:07. | |
that. I think this is a definite try. A disabled visit. The board | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
does bounce in the air. For me, that sends out the system that is as | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
downward pressure. But as a trial day long, that is. I really don't | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
understand what the TMO and the referee did not see it. How is that | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
not a try was a and this one, from the other angle, it shows an aside, | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
said Arnold, it does visited may have lost a going over over but I | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
think that again, if Apple is a Scarlets winger was going on, we | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
would be up in arms. They rode 11 deserve the credit for the Scarlets | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
because they have so many key injuries. Deserved a little bit of | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
luck. They have had some bad luck of the gritters period. Full credit to | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
them. It is nice to see Shingler kicker kick. The previous two games | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
they have lost by a pod. They looked like they were going to lose this | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
bicycle point as well. Here or zero. You will lead in the papers... | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
Blinking to watch. And when. Both teams look to play. Wedding the | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
Scarlets because they are underpowered, they are not the | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
biggest team. They have to play they way they have but some of the tries | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
they score, brilliant game. We all to see that. Here is a guy with | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
hugely relieved from that. I think it was just reward. They have stuck | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
in there and they are becoming a difficult team to beat, the | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
Scarlets. Wayne Pivac has brought a steal, if you like, to that forward | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
play. They are starting to pride themselves on... Bunged up: the | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
Scarlets horizon is this deepening injury crisis. Jack Condy and at | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
this week as well. Will the potentially derail what could be | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
winning campaign? Hopefully Scott Williams Liam Williams, no Lia | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
Williams were back at the end of January. They are out of Europe so | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
maybe the next two weeks... The problem have with Europe is you do | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
not want to be losing by or 50 points and getting complete | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
hammerings. It does not confidence. John Barclay is bad. With European | :22:24. | :22:31. | |
games, they might rest him. 40s by the job was Bjorklund guide | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
injuries. It is very unlucky few other string of them. Visit of game. | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
There are also have their eye on the 6-nations. They have to make sure | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
their players come through that too. Plenty to think about. Moving on | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
now, one other feature the boot of this again. It was a tween Edinburgh | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
and Treviso. The rest were cancelled to allow this bold European games to | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
take place. Edinburgh welding to capitalise on about the back damages | :22:58. | :23:07. | |
over Glasgow resource. Any breaking into the game off the back of a | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
double over Glasgow and were ten lap early on some unorthodox passing, | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
the knock-down for David Holden to finish. Two penalties for James | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
Anderson before half-time cut the deficit. Two replies from | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
Hidalgo-Clyne the store the gap before the home forwards dominance | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
saw the referee lose patience and awarded penalty try on the hour. But | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
Treviso showed some resistance after the midweek exit of their coach, | :23:40. | :23:49. | |
replaced for now... Marco Barbini and a fitting from the Greenwald | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
about -- slip over. Edinburgh may have been celebrated desperately did | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
not get the bonus point but they did manage a third try on the whistle. | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
Somehow, they twisted a a second try. Edinburgh boosting their top | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
four challenge. They actually temporary went top with added on | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
Friday night before Leinster beat the Ospreys and went top. Scarlets | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
are now the third team to go top as again. Then I wake points clear of | :24:23. | :24:32. | |
Munster in fifth, giving them a bit of breathing space in the top four. | :24:33. | :24:45. | |
Ulster insects, the in seven. The Blues one of those scenes at how | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
weakened off this weekend. Their securities muster was one of those | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
buzzbomb. We took the opportunity to catch up with Sam Warburton, Wales | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
captain. Happy New Year. You we are again at the beginning of a New Year | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
on scrum five. You have done hundreds, thousands of these | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
interviews now. Hamid Ansari sat down together as a close ties. Will | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
mix it up a little bit this time. Gets an innocent who knows you | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
weather than a mouse. I will shoot off because there is someone | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
downstairs was good to come and ask you questions. I look forward to it. | :25:19. | :25:30. | |
Cheers, Ross. Higher, Sam. It is only me. I do remember first money | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
into the Blues, do you find is awkward? The first week maybe but | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
after that, because we trained together, when Willard 15, we had | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
like a multigym in the garage. And we would go running and go down the | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
park and kicking and passing. I am partly the reason why you are good | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
at defence. We had a little corner of grass. We used to run at hard as | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
we can at each other. Yes, all. Would go down there and just try and | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
Sammy Jenner. Run at each other. We were only like 11. I have often | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
attended to be you, have you ever pretended to be me quitting Mark I | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
was in a pair and a woman came over to me who was drugged and I did not | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
want to do with her so I said I was Ben the physio. She did not believe | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
me. -- drunk. Have you pretended to be me? Cause I have. Why did you | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
give up the drums and take up golf question are a bitter middle-aged, | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
isn't it quitting Mark all the boys play golf. I knew now live in a | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
semidetached house and there is only single pane of glass. Everyone can | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
hear me bashing the drums. I had to get rid of the drums. He has better | :27:00. | :27:08. | |
skills than me. He has better handling skills than me. Ever will | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
be saying, that is not hard. Golf, everything. We are both going to | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
having a short fuse. What is the angriest you have been question mark | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
when I was young, I was a lot more hot-headed. It was advice Paul Tito | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
gave me. Never take it personal what you do at openside because whoever | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
you are playing against, you will target the openside. Whenever people | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
do go for your downstairs, you're what sets in games, they might go | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
for a couch or choke you or anything, never to get personal. I | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
used to be really hot-headed. We both have aggressive streak. Mum and | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
dad have always said that. We get it from. Forgetful as as you were | :27:51. | :27:57. | |
straight. What is the worst thing you have forgotten? The worst thing | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
I have a garden, I went on the bus for the Grand Slam gaining 2012 and | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
our team manager had to come on with my boots. A birthday? And I did | :28:08. | :28:14. | |
genuinely forget Ben 's birthday. Shocking. I viewed as bad 's | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
birthday coming up, busy. Because it was my birthday. Either the guidance | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
and tomorrow, next in you wake up and he was given the card. I ran to | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
the kitchen and said that, give me to adequate. I need to give N | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
adequate. I haven't got adequate cash army. Tell me why you came last | :28:36. | :28:43. | |
in a hundred metres at school when we were ever after winning your heat | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
in the semifinal. My number a cheeseburger. You got the | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
cheeseburger because man thought I was a good way to give you energy. | :28:52. | :29:00. | |
She's clueless. Cost me a medal. Do you think you are good patient? Yes. | :29:01. | :29:07. | |
We need to get you fit to play well. One of the European games we will | :29:08. | :29:10. | |
target and then you can play a game before the 6-nations. If selected. | :29:11. | :29:16. | |
You have been quoted as saying you would like to end your career at the | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
Blues. Do you really mean it quitting Mark yes. We are both | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
Cardiff boys. We love watching them as kids. I grew up watching Martyn | :29:27. | :29:30. | |
Williams and I know where the number seven jersey, which I love. I love | :29:31. | :29:41. | |
the Cardiff Blues. We have already rinsed Sam for forgetting his | :29:42. | :29:44. | |
brother 's birthday. Very pleasing news for all Blues fans to here | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
Martin at the end of that treaty. No hesitation when he said he would | :29:48. | :29:53. | |
stay at the Blues. How pleasing is that for you to hear guys like he | :29:54. | :29:57. | |
has always said that. I do think it is just a sound bite. He loves the | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
club, the region, anti-has always looked at it as well. I think it is | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
a sign of what is happening really. A lot of players have gone to France | :30:07. | :30:08. | |
who still have international ambitions are coming back as you do | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
get flogged and it is very physical. I think in back or staying is | :30:15. | :30:19. | |
looking a lot more inviting than it was maybe two or three years ago. | :30:20. | :30:24. | |
Sand to stay at the Blues until the end of his career, somebody who will | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
be starting his Blues career, Matthew Morgan, you know him very | :30:30. | :30:33. | |
well, lift share body of yours in the Bristol days? Yes, he is not the | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
brightest. Again he is a very exciting talent and it will be great | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
to see him linking up with Danny Wilson. On that Blues pitch that | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
everybody has spoken about. He is an electric ten who has grown in | :30:49. | :30:51. | |
confidence since his time at Bristol. He has been handed the | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
reins and has too developed from the guy they bring on, he has had to | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
learn those game management skills and the like and shown real | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
security. At signed as a 15, is that his best position? I think he is one | :31:06. | :31:11. | |
of these guys, you need him on the ball. He will not be a 15 who will | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
sit deep. Again I think it will bring another string to Wales' blow | :31:17. | :31:19. | |
as well, something they have pushed for. They think 15 is possibly his | :31:20. | :31:28. | |
best position. But it is what teams need in modern rugby, and he can be | :31:29. | :31:35. | |
either. Fans will be very excited if the bus on social media is anything | :31:36. | :31:39. | |
to go by. Weather has been atrocious in the past weeks and it did its | :31:40. | :31:43. | |
level best to wash out the sway like cup as we got just four of the | :31:44. | :31:45. | |
scheduled ten games. -- Swalec Cup. This weekend is the start of the | :31:46. | :31:56. | |
Swalec Cup and this is a competition with great tradition down the years | :31:57. | :32:02. | |
for giant-killing. Newport being beaten. A trifle Kevin Gary Moore! | :32:03. | :32:08. | |
Pontypridd being beaten, and of course Saint Peters beating Cardiff. | :32:09. | :32:17. | |
Oh, yes. The magic of the cup. Today we have come to Port Talbot. Tata | :32:18. | :32:28. | |
Steel are taken on clinically. Can the underdogs can drop some magic | :32:29. | :32:37. | |
and conjure a result? That's find out. Abracadabra. It is pouring | :32:38. | :32:50. | |
down. We have a championship side. You ready? One, two, three. | :32:51. | :32:58. | |
Cup day. Made a lot of the magic of the cup and the potential for | :32:59. | :33:05. | |
giant-killing, does that still exist? Yes, the cup is a thrashing | :33:06. | :33:11. | |
change from the league for us, chance to get away from the pressure | :33:12. | :33:17. | |
of points every week. Not many clubs like Tata Steel, are there? Works | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
team effectively. It is a taste of the background of the club. The | :33:23. | :33:28. | |
rugby section has been going along time. It was really hard in there, | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
as I'm sure you've heard. We are just going to try to get going and | :33:34. | :33:37. | |
get through this rough patch. Tata Steel have been good enough to | :33:38. | :33:40. | |
provide sporting facilities for the various sections through the years. | :33:41. | :33:44. | |
I just hope we keep going and get through it. I am here to watch my | :33:45. | :33:50. | |
other half play. He is playing for Tata Steel? Yes. Was he nervous | :33:51. | :33:55. | |
today? I think he is nervous, obviously playing a Premiership | :33:56. | :33:58. | |
team, that little step up. Nothing they can't seem to handle at the | :33:59. | :34:05. | |
moment. Who is going to win this? I'm going to go with my heart and | :34:06. | :34:11. | |
say Tata Steel. Good for you. We've seen some incredible shocks, haven't | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
we? Newport, Saint Peters against Cardiff. This is the beauty of the | :34:16. | :34:22. | |
rugby, isn't it? You look at the two teams out there today, and you'd | :34:23. | :34:25. | |
swear they were in the same division. It is a leveller, these | :34:26. | :34:30. | |
conditions. It is a good game, actually. Not too many knock-on is | :34:31. | :34:34. | |
for the conditions they are playing in, I think they have done well. | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
Would you be out there playing in this weather? I would, actually. | :34:39. | :34:44. | |
When you are out there, when you first go on it is freezing cold. I | :34:45. | :34:51. | |
had water in my shoes. When you go on, all of the water just goes in | :34:52. | :34:57. | |
your shoe and then warms up. Do you think you can pull it off today, | :34:58. | :35:02. | |
Tata Steel? Got a second-half performance in them? I can't see why | :35:03. | :35:06. | |
not, we are dominating them in the scrum, keeping our shape. You gave a | :35:07. | :35:10. | |
penalty try away because of your scrum! Check your eyes. | :35:11. | :35:23. | |
So the magic unlike the rain proves to be in short supply, no great | :35:24. | :35:32. | |
shock today. Two teams going at each other in the mud in the great | :35:33. | :35:35. | |
tradition of Welsh cup rugby. Hocus-pocus. And I'm here craving | :35:36. | :35:42. | |
the trench foot at soggy Saint Helens as Swansea take on a repeat | :35:43. | :35:51. | |
of the 95 final, could there be more magic? Ryan Thomas, good early | :35:52. | :36:03. | |
pressure from the whites. In their digging, and a penalty given. Early | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
chance for Ian Brooks to put Swansea on the board. Wells. That's the | :36:07. | :36:18. | |
halfway line. That's gone awry, and blocky is away! And sliding in for | :36:19. | :36:23. | |
the game's for the first try. Swansea mistake, and he did the | :36:24. | :36:31. | |
rest. Taken by Barnes. On comes the drive. Barnes, out of the blue. How | :36:32. | :36:38. | |
vital could that be? That's two scores ahead for Pontypridd. It the | :36:39. | :36:47. | |
Barnes Wallis clearance from Lewis Kay Williams. Got plenty of | :36:48. | :36:48. | |
distance, though. Not taken on the Pontypridd 22 and | :36:49. | :37:02. | |
Swansea have a chance. Pop in support. Well, he started it, and he | :37:03. | :37:11. | |
finishes it. Swansea with a bit of fight. This pitch now resembles the | :37:12. | :37:17. | |
innards of a dodgy meat pie but Swansea still going. Here is a foot | :37:18. | :37:24. | |
race, Jed Evans for Swansea, can he get there? Just beaten to it, but | :37:25. | :37:31. | |
you cannot fault but Swansea effort. We are disappointed that we haven't | :37:32. | :37:35. | |
turned them over today. Even though we put pride into the jersey and | :37:36. | :37:38. | |
showed there is not that much of a difference between the Premiership | :37:39. | :37:41. | |
and a championship, we have come away bitterly disappointed. We are | :37:42. | :37:47. | |
acclimatised to it, it is or is tough on the touch judges as well. A | :37:48. | :37:53. | |
lot of things going on out there. I thought our set piece, the scrum in | :37:54. | :37:56. | |
particular, was really good. As long as we had something to build around, | :37:57. | :38:01. | |
which was our scrum today, it kept as together in moments when it got | :38:02. | :38:05. | |
tense. You had Gareth Jenkins on the line, throwback to the old school | :38:06. | :38:10. | |
days? Fair play to him, you was keen to have a go in his old ground. Not | :38:11. | :38:17. | |
really sure what he was doing. Three Jack Main Yard and Ortiz saw them | :38:18. | :38:25. | |
home at Church bank but the best conditions were in Colwyn Bay where | :38:26. | :38:31. | |
our GC flew the flag against the cup Crusaders of the 1980s, Llanharan. | :38:32. | :38:39. | |
Bottom of the championship with no wins from 12 and our GC showed no | :38:40. | :38:44. | |
mercy racing into a 43-0 victory. They scored 15 tries in all. Tom | :38:45. | :38:48. | |
Hughes and Tom Sutton scored four each. A further 50 points followed | :38:49. | :38:56. | |
in the second half as they ran up the biggest score in their history. | :38:57. | :39:03. | |
In the only other match to survive, Newcastle Emlyn won comfortably at | :39:04. | :39:12. | |
Glyneath. STUDIO: We have to give credit to the teams who got their | :39:13. | :39:16. | |
games on, with that awful weather. Some of these photos are just an | :39:17. | :39:19. | |
illustration of quite how bad the weather was. Some classic grassroots | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
images, there. Looking at these you are probably thinking you are glad | :39:24. | :39:32. | |
you are all retired. The worst thing was the outfit he was wearing, he | :39:33. | :39:42. | |
looked like a clown. I played one weekend for Ponty in the cup. | :39:43. | :39:53. | |
Classics, they were. Whatsoever. We must congratulate RGC, but other | :39:54. | :40:00. | |
than that they were all pretty close, because when the weather is | :40:01. | :40:03. | |
like that and on pitches like that it is a level. And they don't want | :40:04. | :40:11. | |
to be there either, the top boys. It is never going to be expansive. Must | :40:12. | :40:18. | |
have played in some like that. A few. Doncaster and all those | :40:19. | :40:23. | |
far-flung places. Doncaster has a nice pitch now. We don't have a | :40:24. | :40:27. | |
great deal of time left and the next time we are on air is for the Six | :40:28. | :40:31. | |
Nations preview programme. For we go off air tonight and going to ask you | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
to gaze into the crystal ball. The squad announced on the 19th, ten | :40:36. | :40:40. | |
days away. We know the usual suspect, but anybody you have seen | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
who you think might sneak in? I can't see anybody coming in. He will | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
pick his tried and tested players. Phillips retired now. Rhys Webb is | :40:51. | :40:57. | |
not going to make it. Who will be the third scrum-half? That will be | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
the interesting one for me. You can come out of international | :41:03. | :41:05. | |
retirement, that has done before, hasn't it, Martin? Yeah, yeah. I | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
think he has been there before and done it. Tom James. I think you will | :41:10. | :41:15. | |
be in the squad but it will be interesting to see if he is phoning | :41:16. | :41:20. | |
against Ireland out in Dublin, because he deserves his shop -- if | :41:21. | :41:26. | |
he is thrown in. A winner for me, I think Harold Dixon might be in with | :41:27. | :41:30. | |
a chance of being included. Lloyd Ashley might be in with a shout. But | :41:31. | :41:36. | |
I can't see Warren Gatland going too far away from what he knows. We | :41:37. | :41:39. | |
shall wait and see. Warren Gatland will pick up the phone in a few | :41:40. | :41:42. | |
days' time to tell those who's in and who's out. We will keep you | :41:43. | :41:46. | |
posted on the website. That's all for tonight. Back on the 31st for | :41:47. | :41:51. | |
our scrum five special. Hope you can join us for that. We heard from the | :41:52. | :41:55. | |
Warburton Brothers earlier in the programme, I think they both agreed | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
that Sam was the better rugby player but what about some of their other | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
attributes? Let's find out. CU soon. Who is the hardest? Cheers. Why did | :42:05. | :42:16. | |
you say me? You are bigger. Because you are the coolest. Only because | :42:17. | :42:22. | |
he's got more money so he can buy what he wants. I agree with that. | :42:23. | :42:31. | |
Who is the best chef? Oh, yeah. Glad you said that, definitely me. He | :42:32. | :42:36. | |
comes into training every day and we have chickens and stuff, he comes in | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
with jam sandwich, cheese, white bread. Ham and cheese today? He | :42:42. | :42:49. | |
lives on ham and cheese sandwiches. Signature dish? Chilli con carne. I | :42:50. | :42:55. | |
like cooking chilli. What have I cooked for you when you came over? | :42:56. | :43:00. | |
Chilli. Yeah, Chile is my dish, lots of meat. Who is the most romantic? | :43:01. | :43:16. | |
Hang on. Was that you? You are very soft. I like to keep my women happy. | :43:17. | :43:23. | |
My woman. Who is the angriest. Definitely, hands down. Who is the | :43:24. | :43:30. | |
most musically gifted? That's only because you go for it. You always | :43:31. | :43:37. | |
ask for my playlists as well. I might know the answer. Who is the | :43:38. | :43:40. | |
biggest party animal? I'm not a big party animal, but much more than | :43:41. | :43:43. | |
sand. That's right. | :43:44. | :43:47. |
