:00:38. > :00:45.against Wales, the game of the weekend. Tries, tackles, tension
:00:45. > :00:49.and triumph. Good evening, welcome to Scrum V Six Nations Special -
:00:49. > :00:58.and what a start. Wales leave it late but clinch a thrilling win.
:00:58. > :01:04.Lisa. Good evening. All the talk on Twitter is about what a cracking
:01:04. > :01:09.game of rugby. And about that tackle. Later I will be getting the
:01:09. > :01:15.thought of Ian Gough. And straight from the Welsh camp, Matthew Rees.
:01:15. > :01:22.First, Warren Gatland. I think we can play better. The fact week came
:01:22. > :01:27.here and won, we will take that result. We are only about 70% of
:01:27. > :01:32.what we are capable of. We showed some character. It is pleasing. A
:01:32. > :01:34.very good game of rugby. Joining us tonight, Mike Hall, Lyn Jones, Tom
:01:34. > :01:44.Shanklin and a very warm welcome to former Ireland international
:01:44. > :02:11.
:02:11. > :02:17.The Six Nations is here. Tom Shackell, what again? -- Tom
:02:17. > :02:23.Shanklin. Yes. What a game. Top place to go. They thoroughly
:02:23. > :02:28.deserved it. Ireland have done that so many times to Wales. It is nice
:02:28. > :02:36.it was reversed. For Leigh Halfpenny to score, brilliant.
:02:36. > :02:40.Butcher hands together for Bernard Jackman! Burnett, welcome. It takes
:02:40. > :02:43.a very proud man to walk into the studio as an Irishman. I thought
:02:43. > :02:48.you were going to walk into the studio tonight with the big beaming
:02:48. > :02:54.smile. How are you feeling? little bit gutted. As an Irishman,
:02:54. > :02:59.I have no regrets. Wales deserved to win. Ireland will look at their
:02:59. > :03:03.own performance and find a lot of flaws. Beware Wales came back, the
:03:03. > :03:12.mist at convergent. -- the way Wales came back they missed a
:03:12. > :03:17.conversion. They showed great composure. They deserved to get a
:03:17. > :03:23.score. I think Wales would have scored with get the penalty.
:03:23. > :03:30.Ireland seemed to lack self-belief. Mike, we talk about the first game
:03:30. > :03:35.and how crucial it is. When we lost to England last year you felt the
:03:35. > :03:43.momentum disappear. This is the perfect start? He is. Wales are a
:03:43. > :03:47.momentum team. When we start well, we play well. Who knows where we
:03:47. > :03:55.can go from here? I do not want to get ahead of ourselves, but this
:03:55. > :03:59.was a massive win. A few players coming back from injury. I thought
:03:59. > :04:04.there were some wonderful performance. How George North could
:04:04. > :04:09.not get man of the match, I don't know. So much to talk about. George
:04:09. > :04:17.North, Bradley Davies. The one thing that have shone out today was
:04:17. > :04:21.the remarkable spirit in that Wales' campaign? Yes, and belief.
:04:21. > :04:28.People will perhaps have not experienced negative it before.
:04:28. > :04:38.They are young. They have taken off from the World Cup. Bernard, you

:04:38. > :05:36.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds
:05:36. > :05:42.might want to look away now. Here George North! Last-ditch tackling.
:05:42. > :05:52.Paul O'Connell was involved. Ryan Jones is over the line! Has he got
:05:52. > :05:55.
:05:55. > :06:05.it down? Sam Warburton's arm goes up. They cannot give it. That was
:06:05. > :06:05.
:06:05. > :06:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds
:06:46. > :06:56.Davies! Sublime! They are going upstairs again. Look at that. They
:06:56. > :07:12.
:07:12. > :07:22.have about five against two. That Ireland will be hoping for
:07:22. > :07:28.
:07:28. > :07:36.something better than the penalty. Must be, Rory Best! Ireland have
:07:36. > :07:46.got something better than the penalty! Tummy bulk made that. --
:07:46. > :08:01.
:08:01. > :08:11.Tommy Bowe. A little bit like the Leigh Halfpenny is already walking
:08:11. > :08:36.
:08:36. > :08:46.Davies! The line-out led to the try. George North, Jonathan Davies. It
:08:46. > :09:03.
:09:03. > :09:13.is happening for Wales all of a his run. Wales give away the
:09:13. > :09:35.
:09:35. > :09:42.it is going to be a penalty for Ireland. Exactly the same point as
:09:42. > :09:52.the last cake, exactly the same result. -- kick. Ireland regained
:09:52. > :10:25.
:10:25. > :10:35.incident of the ball. -- off the ball. Wales holding out. That is
:10:35. > :10:36.
:10:36. > :10:46.their goal line. Back to Sexton. Kearney, Tommy Bowe! Grape variety
:10:46. > :11:06.
:11:06. > :11:14.through. Week Irish tackling. George North! The power of North!
:11:14. > :11:24.Nobody is claiming the tried really. George North likes it. Look at the
:11:24. > :11:45.
:11:45. > :11:51.physicality of George North. That Bradley Davies dismissed for a
:11:51. > :12:01.tackle off the ball. Ireland giving away a penalty. Stephen Ferris is
:12:01. > :12:04.
:12:05. > :12:09.going to the bin. Wales will have the kick. Leigh Halfpenny! He
:12:09. > :12:19.kicked the penalty and the clock is still running. Adam Jones on his
:12:19. > :12:20.
:12:20. > :12:28.feet. Mike Phillips checks where Rhys priest and his. He hammers it
:12:28. > :12:35.into touch. The whistle goes. Wales have a won in Ireland in a match
:12:35. > :12:45.that has been dramatic from start to finish. Dramatic, controversial,
:12:45. > :12:47.
:12:47. > :12:57.Pulsating. That is why we love the Six Nations. Lets hear from the
:12:57. > :13:07.
:13:07. > :13:10.How pleased there you? Unbelievable. These games do not come around very
:13:10. > :13:15.often. When we missed the conversion, I thought it was going
:13:15. > :13:20.to be one of those days. Really pleased for Leigh Halfpenny. He is
:13:20. > :13:27.still hanging in self all those points he missed against Frank --
:13:27. > :13:33.France in the World Cup. The team sheet they have got on the back
:13:33. > :13:38.line is hugely exciting. Maybe Leigh Halfpenny should have been
:13:38. > :13:45.given kicking duties to start with. It is a hard decision to make some
:13:45. > :13:50.pounds. You're trying to give up their confidence. Kicking for touch
:13:50. > :13:53.and kicking for goal to give you confidence. It was great to see. We
:13:53. > :14:00.made the decision during the game. Leigh Halfpenny did a great job for
:14:00. > :14:04.us. The kick at the end was fantastic. 1 I saw we had the
:14:04. > :14:12.penalty I was obviously very nervous. So relieved to see the
:14:12. > :14:18.ball go through the posts. Thrilled did it. There was intent.
:14:18. > :14:25.It possibly should have been a red card. Maybe that would have cost us
:14:25. > :14:30.the game. You look back and reflect and think about Sam Warburton in
:14:30. > :14:36.the World Cup, I don't think there was any intent. I don't think that
:14:36. > :14:46.should have been a red card. Possibly a yellow. Maybe my view on
:14:46. > :14:51.
:14:51. > :14:55.That is the verdict. These are the statistics with Brynmor Williams.
:14:55. > :15:01.Wasn't that a pleasant afternoon. The spirit of the World Cup lives
:15:01. > :15:07.on with self-belief, confidence. We can look at the statistics. We
:15:07. > :15:15.would admit there is work to be done in the line-out. But territory
:15:15. > :15:20.and possession, almost 60-40 in favour. Outstanding start. It is
:15:20. > :15:25.about professionalism, focus, concentration. Wales have been
:15:25. > :15:29.accused of not being clinical. They have started very clinical. We can
:15:29. > :15:35.have started very clinical. We can look at key moments. The quality of
:15:35. > :15:40.possession for almost the entire match was top notch. It made life
:15:40. > :15:48.easy on Mike Phillips and Priestland 28 degree. They have to
:15:48. > :15:53.do their jobs. It is about not panicking under pressure. Hence the
:15:53. > :16:01.three tries I mentioned. It is important. Clearing so the backs
:16:01. > :16:08.can run on to the ball. Man of the match was George North. He was
:16:08. > :16:15.everywhere. Intelligence, Speed, everything you want to see in a
:16:15. > :16:21.winger. Respect in the ball and making life easy for his colleagues.
:16:21. > :16:25.Tackling Paul O'Connell, one of the biggest man in rugby. He keeps his
:16:25. > :16:32.head and gets the bawl to Jonathan Davies to score the try. He's
:16:32. > :16:36.caused himself against quality international players. He makes a
:16:36. > :16:40.fool macro of them. How good will fool macro of them. How good will
:16:40. > :16:45.fool macro of them. How good will he be when he grows up?
:16:45. > :16:52.They have won the game. A phenomenal performance by Jonathan
:16:52. > :16:57.Davies. He finished well. A lovely off load. International rugby is
:16:57. > :17:06.about being able to off load. Getting the ball away in the
:17:06. > :17:13.tackles is key. Did he mean to do it in that much traffic? Brilliant.
:17:13. > :17:19.I think the tries were quality. is one thing to have brute force in
:17:19. > :17:26.George North, but to have the subtle skill...? Brilliant. Such a
:17:26. > :17:33.powerful man. He seems to bowl everyone he sees over. Rhys
:17:33. > :17:39.Priestland, he will take stick for the kick he missed. But his passing
:17:39. > :17:44.game was brilliant. Every pass. Right in front of the player. As a
:17:44. > :17:50.back, you want the ball out there to run on to it. He brings the best
:17:50. > :17:56.out of players. Fascinating to listen to Warren Gatland. Intrigued
:17:56. > :18:01.by what he said. He will look at his decisions. It is difficult. You
:18:01. > :18:06.understand what he says. Will he change goal-kicking? He wants to
:18:06. > :18:15.bring Rhys Priestland on. It is cut-throats. You are right. He is
:18:15. > :18:20.very good in what he has to say. He is right in his planning and his
:18:20. > :18:26.thinking is correct in where he is going with this. We need to settle
:18:26. > :18:31.on a goal kicker. As quickly as we can. We lost the World Cup by a
:18:31. > :18:37.narrow margin. The difference in the teams was George North. He was
:18:37. > :18:47.a continual car crash. If you came down to the wire, we could have
:18:47. > :18:48.
:18:48. > :18:52.lost it. He has not been able to practise. This is where Warren
:18:52. > :18:58.Gatland probably got it wrong. If he is not match-fit. He would
:18:58. > :19:03.probably have been better with Leigh Halfpenny as the first choice.
:19:03. > :19:13.Publicly, they were not talking about revenge. What they have
:19:13. > :19:18.before kick-off? It is human nature to seek revenge. It is very hard to
:19:18. > :19:24.beat the same teams consecutively. The third time in a row losing to
:19:24. > :19:34.Wales. There would have been revenge. You have to implement your
:19:34. > :19:35.
:19:35. > :19:45.game plan properly. This is an interview for the Lions job. He
:19:45. > :19:48.
:19:48. > :19:57.talked about offence being important. -- off loads. Ireland,
:19:57. > :20:02.trying to move back in the tackle. If you run square, you can get an
:20:02. > :20:12.easier ball. The coaches in Wales had a big say in it. The players
:20:12. > :20:13.
:20:13. > :20:17.have the confidence. The talking point was the Bradley Davies tackle.
:20:17. > :20:22.It is inexcusable. He was fortunate to get away with a yellow card. It
:20:22. > :20:26.was not professional. I am sure he will be disappointed tonight,
:20:26. > :20:30.reflecting on that. The incident has come to an end. That is a
:20:30. > :20:38.dangerous tackle. We had news from the Welsh management. He will be
:20:38. > :20:44.cited for that. It is a straight red. I am confused about the tip
:20:44. > :20:53.tackle. Sam Warburton's was not a red card. The one at the end
:20:53. > :20:58.Ireland, we are lucky, to be honest. I thought war Britain's was
:20:58. > :21:06.definitely read today. It was definitely a penalty -- Sam
:21:06. > :21:14.Warburton. He hit the ground on his side. I do not see how that is a
:21:14. > :21:24.good tackle. The other one, I do not know. It is a grey area. There
:21:24. > :21:24.
:21:24. > :21:30.is a definite intent to pick the leg up. Was he doing that?
:21:30. > :21:38.referee made a mistake? Not sending him off? There is a recommendation
:21:38. > :21:43.coming in. The biggest worry is if he is sited, another second row
:21:43. > :21:49.down. Sam Warburton, dead leg. Justin Tipuric coming in. We are
:21:49. > :21:55.getting shorter on the second rows. Jones can play second. He was
:21:55. > :21:59.outstanding today. Can I get your view? In it was a clear red. I will
:21:59. > :22:08.always be in favour of if you tackle a guy with the ball, it is
:22:08. > :22:13.how he falls. I agree in the World Cup it was a red. To make tackles
:22:13. > :22:21.like that, you drive the guy backwards. The first was limits of.
:22:21. > :22:31.It is coming from New Zealand. He said the referees will look after
:22:31. > :22:31.
:22:32. > :22:38.this. They will need to be consistent. We can go to Lisa,.
:22:38. > :22:43.How difficult is it too play with this inconsistency about tip
:22:43. > :22:50.tackles. They seem to think it was a bed. It is the consistency of how
:22:50. > :22:58.it is cited and how people do it. It was slightly different wording
:22:58. > :23:03.again. I have gone through it. I got a three-game ban. Saracens. It
:23:03. > :23:09.was similar. The inconsistency is right the way through it. The
:23:09. > :23:19.directive's of there. It is a cloudy area. -- directives are
:23:19. > :23:21.
:23:21. > :23:27.there. Tom has touched on the second row crisis. What about you?
:23:27. > :23:32.I have still got my boots! Matt you, as a spectator and found I want to
:23:32. > :23:41.know how the decision is made for the kicking to go to Leigh
:23:41. > :23:48.Halfpenny. You are shouting for him to take them. His success rate at
:23:48. > :23:56.goal has been outstanding. With him being out injured, probably not
:23:56. > :24:01.been able to practise as much as he would like to. It paid off in the
:24:01. > :24:05.end. Brilliant. We will hear more later on.
:24:06. > :24:14.Time to round up the rest of the action. We start with the Under 20
:24:14. > :24:20.Mike Ruddock's got the under 20 campaign off on Friday. Wales
:24:20. > :24:23.whether to the Irish storm. Davies got a drop goal to put them ahead.
:24:23. > :24:33.But then hosts responded with the only try of the match.
:24:33. > :24:37.
:24:37. > :24:41.COMMENTATOR:, Hanrahan. It must be try time. Ireland get the first try.
:24:41. > :24:45.They found their feet in the second half and took the lead again thanks
:24:45. > :24:49.to a Lewis Williams penalty. Jackson had been firing wide. He
:24:49. > :24:55.Jackson had been firing wide. He found range with this drop goal. It
:24:55. > :25:00.was another drop goal, this time from Luke McGrath that saw victory
:25:00. > :25:06.for the Irish. COMMENTATOR: That is an absolute
:25:06. > :25:09.beauty! Wales is women had their Six
:25:09. > :25:15.Nations opener but the freezing conditions were the only winner
:25:15. > :25:25.with the match being abandoned at half-time. Ireland scored the only
:25:25. > :25:26.
:25:26. > :25:31.try of the match. Good counter attacking skills. They managed a
:25:31. > :25:35.penalty, the visitors. But with a dangerous, hardening pitch, the
:25:35. > :25:37.referee called the game after 40 minutes. A date will be set for a
:25:37. > :25:42.minutes. A date will be set for a minutes. A date will be set for a
:25:42. > :25:45.replay. Next weekend should be a cracker in
:25:45. > :25:48.Paris as France take on Ivan Ljubicic. They start the Philippe
:25:48. > :25:53.Saint-Andre era with a win for Saint-Andre era with a win for
:25:53. > :25:58.Italy. COMMENTATOR: Not afraid to go
:25:58. > :26:04.through the phases, Italy. They are trying to build an attack and find
:26:04. > :26:11.the mistake. WHISTLE BLOWS It is over and we are
:26:11. > :26:21.all square. Waiting, perhaps in a drop goal
:26:21. > :26:26.
:26:26. > :26:34.position. Not going for the drop goal. Aurelien Rougerie scores for
:26:34. > :26:43.France. That was a slow build up. Poor defence by Italy. Aurelien
:26:43. > :26:49.Rougerie scores the first try of the game.
:26:49. > :26:58.France get a good drive on. They lost the line-out, now they have
:26:58. > :27:08.won the scrum. Good hands. Good strength, good feet, good sidestep.

:28:03. > :28:03.could be said to Scotland. Rick could be said to Scotland. Rick
:28:03. > :28:09.could be said to Scotland. Rick O'Shea spent most of the weekend

:28:14. > :28:21.rugby match took place between Englishman, Scott's man and
:28:21. > :28:28.Irishman. -- Scotsman. The game was such a success it led to the
:28:28. > :28:32.formation of the Kolkata Rugby Cup. And their donation of three cult --
:28:32. > :28:42.Kolkata Cup to the English. And so there has been an annual fixture
:28:42. > :28:45.
:28:45. > :28:52.between England and Scotland ever The build up to the game has been
:28:52. > :28:56.spicy. Andy Robinson accused England of arrogance. And then an
:28:56. > :29:06.administrative error that led to the printing of T-shirts like this.
:29:06. > :29:09.
:29:09. > :29:17.There is no love lost here. It is fair to say we bring you close to

:29:32. > :29:42.like the sunk by a stealers wheel. The first Cup was a 3-3 draw. Who

:32:44. > :32:49.My heart goes out to Andy Robinson. A great start for the new England
:32:49. > :32:59.era. Not a great performance. You just feel that Scotland threw it
:32:59. > :32:59.
:32:59. > :33:05.away. How disappointed? Hugely. Absolutely gutted. Scotland had so
:33:05. > :33:08.many chances. Clear cut chances. Couldn't score. That has been a
:33:08. > :33:15.problem for years. England not a great side. They didn't play that
:33:15. > :33:23.well. The only try they look like scoring was the charge down. Very
:33:23. > :33:31.depressing. Positives from the England. Review? Obviously the
:33:31. > :33:37.when? I think that is pretty much it. No, I am being harsh. Farrell
:33:37. > :33:45.was good in defence. Hodgson coming back did a very good job. An a
:33:45. > :33:50.experienced team it dug deep, on the in and got the win. -- hung on
:33:50. > :33:54.in there. Scotland should have won that game today. They would be
:33:54. > :33:58.going to the Millennium Stadium full of components. Now their
:33:58. > :34:04.confidence is shot. As the England substitutes are
:34:04. > :34:12.warming down, my time in Scotland is coming to an end. The Scots may
:34:12. > :34:16.just be themselves -- beat themselves next weekend in Cardiff.
:34:16. > :34:20.It is a good job I kept this T- shirt.
:34:20. > :34:25.We'll talk Scotland later, but let's just concentrate on England.

:34:36. > :34:41.Scotland were the best team yesterday. England are Six Nations
:34:41. > :34:47.champions. Don't forget that. First Stuart Lancaster, he has cleared
:34:47. > :34:52.the decks, he has taken the poison away. I think there is a little bit
:34:52. > :34:56.more to go. They have brought in new talent. Whether they have the
:34:56. > :35:05.ability to be top quality is to be seen just yet. There is a lot of
:35:06. > :35:09.work to do. First Stuart Lancaster, it is about doing the business. --
:35:09. > :35:15.for Stuart Lancaster. The performance is obviously important,
:35:15. > :35:21.put the result is what is really important. What did we learn
:35:21. > :35:25.yesterday about England? You have got to play for their coach. You
:35:25. > :35:33.learn a lot about the team's attitude when they scramble. They
:35:33. > :35:38.scrambled incredibly well. Even under pressure they didn't concede
:35:38. > :35:43.those penalties that Scotland needed. Scotland have been scored a
:35:43. > :35:51.try in four games. They will be quite happy. They go to row with
:35:51. > :35:57.confidence. A big step for them. -- row. The best pitch -- piece of
:35:57. > :36:02.Twitter advice I've heard yesterday for England was, give the ball to
:36:02. > :36:09.Scott and! Who was that from, Stuart Lancaster or?! Scotland have
:36:09. > :36:13.all the opportunities. It was an easy try. Scotland didn't look
:36:13. > :36:19.great yesterday. Neither did England. England got the win. That
:36:19. > :36:24.is the most important thing. Jeremy Guscott was right. Basically they
:36:24. > :36:31.built in, and an experienced team and came away with a win? All they
:36:31. > :36:36.got was a win. I think it was a shocking game. For both teams. I
:36:36. > :36:45.think a lot of the England players are overrated. They are Pohnpei up
:36:45. > :36:49.by the media. They went out there because. They felt sadly short.
:36:49. > :36:56.There is nothing exciting in the England back line. Then they come
:36:56. > :37:06.good. They have got a good set- piece game. That is typical

:37:09. > :37:12.throughout English rugby. What they are lacking his imagination. George
:37:12. > :37:17.North is one of several players Wales have got who can make an
:37:17. > :37:24.impact. Scotland have Sean Lamont. He is the only player who is going
:37:24. > :37:32.to make Wales swept next week. Let's Markham. Scotland travel to
:37:32. > :37:37.Cardiff next week and Brynmor's picked his team.
:37:37. > :37:41.Looking at the team for next week, I am going to advocate no change. I
:37:41. > :37:47.would not mind seeing James Hook starting. He was outstanding when
:37:47. > :37:52.he came on. I like the two big wingers against Scotland. The pack
:37:52. > :37:59.would stay the same. Bradley Davies, given that he has not been sighted,
:37:59. > :38:04.should retain his place. I would like Ryan Jones kept in the team.
:38:04. > :38:11.This team has the ability and the potential to beat Scotland and take
:38:11. > :38:15.that one step in what could be a very exciting season for Wales. It
:38:15. > :38:22.could be a very exciting Six Nations for Wales. Lynn, would you
:38:22. > :38:30.make changes? You generally keep the same. I think Bradley will not
:38:30. > :38:37.be available for the rest of the season. Such is the severity of the
:38:37. > :38:47.tackle. I would have no hesitation in going for Ian Gough. I know he
:38:47. > :38:48.
:38:48. > :38:57.is just sitting over their! -- there. Obviously a very short term
:38:57. > :39:04.plan. Or Lou Reed, who is a very promising. Rhys Priestland did not
:39:04. > :39:07.have the greatest game. But he will get better. I would like to see him
:39:07. > :39:14.engage the back line a little bit more. He is a little bit too deep
:39:14. > :39:19.passing the ball. You have got to look at James Hook again at 10. He
:39:19. > :39:29.is a quality player. Rhys Priestland is very good. We are
:39:29. > :39:36.
:39:36. > :39:41.blessed at the moment. If we leave I would change the kicking duties.
:39:41. > :39:46.The big thing for Warren Gatland was he was not kicking for Les
:39:46. > :39:54.Blues. It was a simple kick but the pressure on him. Some of his
:39:54. > :40:02.kicking was off. Give him a chance. He gets the best out of his backs.
:40:02. > :40:08.He is very composed. Ireland have got Sexton and Ronan O'Gara. They
:40:08. > :40:18.use them well on and off the bench. Perhaps we should do that. His it

:40:35. > :40:40.after three weeks out and goes straight into internationals.
:40:40. > :40:43.is a brave decision to make a selection. You remember the
:40:43. > :40:53.player's last performance. When you look at the last performance by
:40:53. > :40:57.
:40:57. > :41:07.James -- James Hook. As a coach, you look back at that and
:41:07. > :41:17.sometimes... And what will Scotland win? I think Dan Parks kill their
:41:17. > :41:22.
:41:22. > :41:27.attack -- bring. They have attack, it is east-west. With speed they
:41:27. > :41:31.might get interceptions and turnovers and tear into Scotland.
:41:31. > :41:35.Scotland's try-scoring record in shocking. Robinson said he would
:41:35. > :41:45.sort that out. They have to look at how they will win and how they will

:41:50. > :41:56.beat Wales. Will they score tries? You have to be doubtful. parks --
:41:56. > :42:01.Dan Parks gets you into the right areas. They have enough threat.
:42:01. > :42:06.They have promising players coming through, like Denton. We've can go
:42:06. > :42:12.back to Lisa. The panel have you signed up for
:42:12. > :42:18.next week's game at! Did he have the right idea, if it is not broken,
:42:18. > :42:25.do not fix it? I think so. I agree with Tom about giving Leigh
:42:25. > :42:31.Halfpenny the kick. I would stay with Rhys Priestland. There have
:42:31. > :42:37.been comments, but as he got thrown in in the World Cup against England,
:42:37. > :42:41.he got stronger. Will you be able to play soon how is the injury?
:42:41. > :42:46.Good, thanks. I will not be available for selection next
:42:46. > :42:54.weekend, but hopefully back for England. What will Scotland bring
:42:54. > :43:04.to the game next week? You said they should have won the game
:43:04. > :43:06.
:43:06. > :43:10.yesterday. They should. You look back two years, they were lucky to
:43:10. > :43:15.win with scoring at the end. There is no pressure on Scotland. We know
:43:15. > :43:21.they can play an open game. The pressure is back on us. We are at
:43:21. > :43:24.home and we must make sure we build on the performance from today.
:43:24. > :43:30.sometimes worry with Wales going into the game as the favourites.
:43:30. > :43:34.Who were the stars in the Scotland team we need to contain? There are
:43:34. > :43:40.a dangerous player as throughout the team. We are being over
:43:40. > :43:46.ambitious, knocking them down. I do not think that is right. They have
:43:46. > :43:52.scored good tries. They had us on the wrack two years ago. We had a
:43:52. > :43:57.good win and a good game but it was close. We should have respect for
:43:57. > :44:03.Scotland. We should think it is a match anyone can win on the day.
:44:03. > :44:08.Thank you. Back to Jason. Earlier, I caught up
:44:08. > :44:16.with Jonathan Davies at the Aviva Stadium.
:44:16. > :44:25.An amazing game. Both sides played well. I thought if Wales gained
:44:25. > :44:29.parody -- parity in the set pieces, they would sneak it. But it was a
:44:29. > :44:35.fantastic way to come back and win the game. Leigh Halfpenny keeping
:44:35. > :44:42.his nerve after not great kicks in the World Cup. The back line was
:44:42. > :44:50.immense. George North, what can you say? I want your thoughts on
:44:50. > :44:54.Bradley Davies. There is confusion here about red or yellow? I am not
:44:54. > :44:59.as colour-blind has some as he -- some of you over there.
:44:59. > :45:05.Unfortunately, you have to say what it is. It was a red card. There was
:45:05. > :45:10.intent. It was off the ball. He landed on his neck and that is a
:45:10. > :45:15.red card. Even Warren Gatland and the team have said it should be
:45:15. > :45:20.read. Sometimes, you have to be honest. We were unlucky in the
:45:20. > :45:24.World Cup, but we were lucky with that decision. Inconsistency, but I
:45:24. > :45:31.think everybody agrees it was a red card. A it is a massive win for
:45:31. > :45:38.Wales, given the injuries they have had. Yes. It is a huge game. I
:45:38. > :45:44.thought the boys, the injury is coming into this game, Roberts,
:45:44. > :45:48.Priestland. Hopefully, there will be other players back. The question
:45:48. > :45:54.was over the front five and they did exceptionally well. Credit has
:45:54. > :46:02.to go to them as well. It was an immense performance defensively.
:46:02. > :46:06.One man short. The ability of the backs. After the retirement of
:46:06. > :46:13.Shane Williams. When you look at the physicality of the Welsh back
:46:13. > :46:20.line. The supporter Jonathan Davies. It is a powerful unit. -- and the
:46:20. > :46:25.support of. We can build on this. This was a great game to win. Three
:46:25. > :46:31.home games and the game in Twickenham. Managing expectations.
:46:31. > :46:39.Hoping injuries will not be too bad for next week and we look forward
:46:39. > :46:48.to Scott and coming to -- Scotland coming to the stadium. Thank you.
:46:48. > :46:52.am about to hit the spot sin Dublin and enjoyed a few beers! De smack
:46:52. > :46:59.spots in Dublin. We know what happens on the streets
:46:59. > :47:04.of Wales. Spot on. It was a great, and. Warren Gatland said they were
:47:04. > :47:08.playing to 70% of their abilities. It is a nice sentence he has thrown
:47:08. > :47:16.out for the players to be able to see. Looking for improved the next
:47:16. > :47:22.week. It will be a tough game. It is about raising your game. A big
:47:22. > :47:27.blow for Ireland, and now they go to Paris. A massive blow. We went
:47:27. > :47:36.in with expectations. A's Six Day turnaround will be testing
:47:36. > :47:41.leadership -- Six Day turnaround. Paul O'Connell, Sexton, you guys
:47:42. > :47:48.will have to take this by the scruff of the neck. You know what
:47:48. > :47:54.happens in Wales. I think Warren Gatland is too experienced to get
:47:54. > :48:01.caught up in that. Any Six Nations game is a huge event and they will
:48:01. > :48:06.prepare well this week. I expect us to be ready for Scotland. We will
:48:06. > :48:11.have the stadium crowd behind us. What have we learned this weekend?
:48:11. > :48:19.France are the team to beat? looks like it. They played well
:48:19. > :48:23.against Italy. We cannot take Scotland likely. They have not
:48:24. > :48:30.played well as a team, but they have great individuals. Warren
:48:30. > :48:36.Gatland has been in this position before in 2008, when we went on to
:48:36. > :48:41.win. We cannot mention it! They are keeping their feet on the ground.
:48:41. > :48:47.We have a great chance next week. How does Warren Gatland manage the
:48:47. > :48:52.expectation? By looking to improve and putting the pressure back on to
:48:52. > :48:59.the players. Creating competition within the squad. There is a small
:48:59. > :49:05.level of uncertainty without damaging their confidence. Ladies
:49:05. > :49:15.and gentlemen, thank Bernard Jackman, Tom Shanklin, Lyn Jones
:49:15. > :49:32.
:49:32. > :49:38.and Mike Hall. That is it. Scotland Bradley Davies in field. They are
