:12:32. > :12:39.looked at the video, I don't know. You ask them, are you going to ref
:12:39. > :12:43.this, are you going to ref that? And when you ask them certain
:12:44. > :12:50.questions, they don't referee. But they came back in the second half
:12:50. > :12:54.and dominated. All season we have heard about the Ospreys'
:12:54. > :12:59.concentration on a youth policy. And that is why I guess we saw
:12:59. > :13:04.Shane Williams on the sidelines. That result is indication that this
:13:04. > :13:10.policy is working? Yes. I guess they have had to do it to a certain
:13:10. > :13:16.extent with the Budget. But it is good. They are all good players. It
:13:16. > :13:20.seems to be working and doing the right thing. The same with Wales.
:13:20. > :13:27.They go out and play their rugby. They don't care who they are

:13:41. > :13:51.for a few years. We have seen a lot of Welsh players going overseas.
:13:51. > :13:55.What was in your decision to stay? As a young player, going out, the
:13:55. > :14:01.support network. I hadn't won much with the Ospreys and I would like
:14:01. > :14:09.to see it through. We have good players in these boys coming
:14:09. > :14:12.through so I am happy there. It is my region, my team. I might go to
:14:12. > :14:20.France in a couple of years but I would like to see it through for
:14:20. > :14:25.the season. An interesting development this week, and we have
:14:25. > :14:35.heard developments in the New Zealand press a couple of players

:15:55. > :15:59.been a massive help fund the. He has been a big influence on me. A
:15:59. > :16:03.lot has been said about the younger players in the squad but the senior
:16:03. > :16:10.players have been phenomenal and supporting them. Brian has been
:16:10. > :16:20.playing great, Gething, Mike, Adam. They have been great. There were
:16:20. > :16:23.
:16:23. > :16:29.many people at half-time who would have awarded you man-of-the-match.
:16:30. > :16:35.Than was phenomenal. He has played like that in the past it has never
:16:35. > :16:42.had recognition for it. He wasn't so much pain. He doesn't feel pain
:16:42. > :16:48.in the game and the heart the size of the lion. Afterwards, he is
:16:48. > :16:51.always in a mess. You mentioned in your usual humble way that you felt
:16:51. > :16:57.Warkworth lifting the trophy because you had not played in all
:16:57. > :17:02.the games any last Warren Gatland to lift it with you. If you look
:17:02. > :17:07.again time, I played about two four games. There were players who
:17:07. > :17:14.started every game and I felt they deserved to lift the trophy more
:17:14. > :17:20.than I did. Warren Gatland told me I should do it. I asked Ryan Jones
:17:20. > :17:27.in Gethin Jenkins and they refused. I appreciated that jester from them.
:17:27. > :17:35.Before we go, I was hoping to give this to you. A bespoke chocolate
:17:35. > :17:39.rugby ball! It is phenomenal. It is on fire. That is or San! It is
:17:39. > :17:45.almost as good as winning the Grand Slam!
:17:45. > :17:49.Job colicky maybe Betty has not eaten it all just yet. What about
:17:49. > :17:54.an outsider's perspective on the Welsh Grand Slam. We travelled to
:17:54. > :18:02.London and spoke to an Englishman, an Irishman, a Scotsman and another
:18:02. > :18:11.Welshman! It was recently a in Twickenham. --
:18:11. > :18:15.it was a sunny day. Despite an invitation to get stuck in, Scrum V
:18:15. > :18:19.stayed on the sidelines and asked the questions. Wells played to
:18:19. > :18:27.their strengths. They have some very big boys in the back line. --
:18:27. > :18:34.Wales. They got through a lot of work. They were reloading with the
:18:34. > :18:39.forwards. It they have powerful backs. It worked for them. I can't
:18:39. > :18:47.deny them their victory. We came close to beating them but they
:18:47. > :18:51.stuck to it. They took the victory. We are disappointed we lost to them
:18:51. > :18:56.that fair play is a them. I think Wales played the best
:18:56. > :19:01.attacking rugby. Some of the tries they scored and the way they guys
:19:01. > :19:09.play it was great to watch. They are very strong. They are playing
:19:09. > :19:16.some great rugby. They can get their backs to regroup in attack.
:19:16. > :19:20.It is a very tight group. It is great for them as a team.
:19:20. > :19:24.They have been developing in getting better. They have really
:19:24. > :19:27.come on leaps and bounds and have got quality players. When we looked
:19:28. > :19:37.at the game we knew it was going to be at a gas gannet to take a
:19:38. > :19:39.
:19:39. > :19:45.massive effort to be done. -- hard game. We knew was that game was
:19:45. > :19:54.lost, they had this spring in their step. They did it in style with a
:19:54. > :20:02.grand slam. After that Ireland game, we knew we had a chance. We had two
:20:02. > :20:10.home games. To play Scotland and after that result, Twickenham. It's
:20:10. > :20:15.started building. Everybody makes an effort. You did not want to lose
:20:15. > :20:22.at this level. It is the critical moments that count. The boys were
:20:22. > :20:29.ready to put their bodies on the line for each other.
:20:29. > :20:35.We have got the Australians next. Do you think they can kick on from
:20:35. > :20:40.here and sneak a serious us when series victory? They probably feel
:20:40. > :20:43.a bit hard done by with how the World Cup ended. The group were
:20:43. > :20:48.guys they have is encouraging. I don't know why they should not go
:20:48. > :20:52.down there with high hopes. Wales have a mission going down there.
:20:52. > :20:57.They are playing gun rugby and they will try to break Australia down
:20:57. > :21:05.which will not be easy as a sliver three games. You learn so much off
:21:05. > :21:12.each other. There is nowhere to hide any more. They need to get off
:21:12. > :21:16.to a good start. Wales will know what they will want to do. They
:21:16. > :21:23.have a good chance of getting a series when. It will not be easy.
:21:23. > :21:26.It will be very, very top. northern hemisphere had definitely
:21:26. > :21:34.in there. Wales have massive confidence going in there. England
:21:34. > :21:44.went over their previous eight. I expect the Welsh boys to be looking
:21:44. > :21:44.
:21:44. > :21:49.forward to going out there. One of my wife's favourite moment was a
:21:49. > :21:52.what she knew wearing a pink Catt. I thought I would appeal to men and
:21:52. > :22:01.women worldwide wearing that! I have taken a bit of stick for
:22:01. > :22:07.wearing it but I thought it looked good! They are all very gracious,
:22:07. > :22:12.the did concede Wales was the best side of the tournament. For you, it
:22:12. > :22:21.was a milestone. You very Triple Crown Slam winner. Quite a lot had
:22:21. > :22:25.been said about it beforehand. It is an honour. There are Rowley six
:22:25. > :22:30.others who have done that. In terms of the tournament itself, there is
:22:30. > :22:38.a feeling this one was a bit more unexpected than the ones in 2005
:22:38. > :22:48.and 2008. We were on a bit of a right after the World Cup. We got
:22:48. > :22:54.to the semi-final. And Sam was sent off after 20 minutes. The first two,
:22:55. > :22:58.it was close. Everybody knows the quality of the squad now. We need
:22:58. > :23:04.to continue with the performances. Equality of us what everybody has
:23:04. > :23:08.been commenting on. People have been picking their Lions team.
:23:08. > :23:14.Warren Gatland has been heavily tipped to close the Lions team. One
:23:14. > :23:19.newspaper report claimed he had been offered the job and we believe
:23:19. > :23:22.it is true. I think one of the present he is the man to lead the
:23:22. > :23:27.team. I think the majority of the Welsh squad will be going on that
:23:27. > :23:34.tour. There is no better person, really, to know how those boys
:23:34. > :23:41.operate and get the best out of them. Rob Howley, Shaun Edwards
:23:41. > :23:50.worked together really well. They have been on a Lions tour already.
:23:50. > :23:55.Robin McBryde might be the one who misses out. I can see that being
:23:55. > :23:58.the coaching staff. Good stuff. Let's return to the PRO12 for the
:23:58. > :24:08.moment and the big Welsh derby yesterday at the Cardiff City
:24:08. > :24:42.
:24:42. > :24:52.Scarlets. Alex Cuthbert and Lloyd Casey Laulala. And he looked around
:24:52. > :25:07.
:25:07. > :25:14.for support. A good tackle by Alex Cuthbert should get there. He
:25:14. > :25:18.has made a mess of it. Gift for Andy Fenby. Just before half-time.
:25:18. > :25:22.The Cardiff Blues can't believe they conceded like that. Alex
:25:22. > :25:31.Cuthbert should have gone down on that one but instead he fumbled and
:25:31. > :25:35.a gift for Andy Fenby. Lloyd Williams gets the ball away
:25:35. > :25:42.and missed by Alex Cuthbert. It is through again for the Scarlets.
:25:42. > :25:47.Andy Fenby. Alex Cuthbert is back there, he has learned his lesson.
:25:47. > :25:55.That is what he should have done up the first time. He has saved the
:25:55. > :25:59.day for the Cardiff Blues. Does a tied up under -- just got tied up
:25:59. > :26:09.and Andy Fenby's feet. You wonder what Jamie Roberts could have done
:26:09. > :26:31.
:26:31. > :26:37.comes Dan Parks. What a mess by Dan Parks! Another simple try for Andy
:26:37. > :26:42.Fenby. The Cardiff Blues will be kicking themselves. And the hen --
:26:42. > :26:52.Andy Fenby with the heart through. Dan Parks had all the time in the
:26:52. > :27:04.
:27:04. > :27:09.world. Thank goodness he has signed by sure Lamond. -- Sean Lamont. A
:27:09. > :27:19.yellow card for him. No doubt at all about that one. 10 minutes to
:27:19. > :27:25.
:27:25. > :27:30.and he is clear and a wave. Alex Cuthbert makes amends for the
:27:30. > :27:36.earlier mistake by getting the Cardiff Blues's first points of the
:27:36. > :27:40.evening. Nigel Davies can't believe it. Aled Thomas's past tipped off
:27:40. > :27:50.by Alex Cuthbert. You can go one handed and still intercept without
:27:50. > :28:04.
:28:04. > :28:09.Michael Paterson is there to recover. The Scarlets should have
:28:09. > :28:14.had a fair try there. The break was made that the final pass was not
:28:14. > :28:24.delivered. The Cardiff Blues get a chance to clear the decks. They
:28:24. > :28:34.
:28:34. > :28:44.Scarlets have it. Back inside to Gareth Davies. He has gone over.
:28:44. > :28:52.The Scarlets do have a third try. The Blues did not clear. Number for
:28:52. > :29:01.turns it over. Lovely work by Dominic Day. The Cardiff Blues
:29:01. > :29:05.desperately pressing forward. It is going to come back on the Blues
:29:06. > :29:10.side. Macaulay Cook leaves his for Lloyd Williams. The head down
:29:10. > :29:17.charge comes from Scott Andrews. A penalty coming for the Blues unless
:29:17. > :29:21.something better comes. It is a try for Casey Laulala. If anybody is
:29:21. > :29:26.going to create, it is going to be him. The Cardiff Blues are still in
:29:26. > :29:36.this game. There is defend and Casey Laulala get a well deserved
:29:36. > :29:47.
:29:47. > :29:51.George North gets the first round. He is into the 22, a superb offload.
:29:51. > :29:57.Dominic a guest the Scarlets a bonus point. What a night for them
:29:57. > :30:02.at the Cardiff City Stadium! This is what George North does at his
:30:03. > :30:12.best. Fantastic offload out of the tackle. That is a great win for the
:30:13. > :30:13.
:30:13. > :30:17.It was a huge win for us, a great game of rugby, and it puts us in a
:30:17. > :30:23.very strong position. We have four games left in the league and we
:30:23. > :30:26.have to win this one. We have everything to play for. We know we
:30:26. > :30:29.have errors in our game that we have to get to grips with on Monday.
:30:29. > :30:35.The players know that themselves and we will make sure that, as we
:30:35. > :30:45.go through the week, we will put them right. So let's ground but the
:30:45. > :30:59.
:30:59. > :31:09.This is now the table. The Scarlets are now a solitary point from the
:31:09. > :31:11.
:31:11. > :31:18.That was the Scarlets' third bonus point victory in a row. They are
:31:18. > :31:23.rarely timing of their running to these play-offs well. Yeah. It is
:31:23. > :31:30.worrying, really, because they are a team that can cause anybody
:31:30. > :31:36.problems. We need to watch our backs. The coaches would be too
:31:36. > :31:39.happy because there were many errors, weren't there? Yeah.
:31:39. > :31:49.Particularly the first half. You see the start of the game, Scarlets
:31:49. > :32:00.
:32:01. > :32:06.ball to play-off. Throws it too high, lost the game. It wasn't just
:32:06. > :32:11.Llanelli. But it was for Scarlet, the Blues. Fantastic break there.
:32:11. > :32:16.The Scarlets were in all sorts of trouble there. Tom James was the
:32:16. > :32:20.first to pick up. Maybe he shouldn't have picked up. And then
:32:20. > :32:26.the knock-on. Could break and of course, Alex Cuthbert, who has had
:32:26. > :32:32.a great Sixsmith -- Six Nations... He is a big man and that is a soft
:32:33. > :32:40.try. The Scarlets capitalise more on the Blues' errors. I do not know
:32:40. > :32:47.what damn Parks was thinking here. That is such a soft try. -- Dan
:32:48. > :32:54.Parks. We don't you want to have the ball at the moment? This man,
:32:54. > :32:59.George North! Great offload, it has had to be said, from North. And
:32:59. > :33:03.then a finish from Day. But I am sure both coaches will be
:33:03. > :33:08.frustrated. The Blues more so because the Scala has capitalised
:33:08. > :33:18.on some really silly errors. then Stephen Jones pulled out with
:33:18. > :33:28.an illness and that was a hell of a cameo of? Yes. They would be a bit
:33:28. > :33:29.
:33:29. > :33:35.more worried about George coming Thank you for that. Sam Warburton
:33:35. > :33:39.doesn't require surgery on his injured shoulder so he will only be
:33:39. > :33:44.out for six weeks. He will miss the European quarter-final against
:33:44. > :33:48.Leinster but he should be fit for the Australian tour to lead Wales
:33:48. > :33:55.Down Under. You are all familiar with the Brian Moore challenge. We
:33:55. > :33:59.have a new challenge coming your way, so stay tuned. The first rule
:33:59. > :34:05.of kick club is that you do not talk about kick club. The second
:34:05. > :34:11.rule is that you do not talk about kit club. The third rule of kit
:34:11. > :34:18.club is our forwards only, no backs allowed. The 4th forties, when you
:34:18. > :34:23.are asked to kick, New kick. -- the 4th rule is. Intriguing. Stay
:34:23. > :34:33.tuned! As well as the Cup Finals this
:34:33. > :34:38.
:34:38. > :34:45.weekend, we also saw Neath at Pontypridd other favourite cup
:34:45. > :34:50.holders but it is always a tough place to come. How are you? Can I
:34:50. > :34:55.have a quick word? How are you looking forward to the game? We are
:34:55. > :35:00.all excited. Obviously a fantastic game down at Neath. We don't get
:35:00. > :35:05.too many wins here but we will take confidence and hopefully get a
:35:05. > :35:10.victory and a place in the semi- finals. I can see the chief over
:35:10. > :35:16.there. How are you? A beautiful day out there. You are the favourites.
:35:16. > :35:23.Are you looking forward to it? Absolutely gorgeous day. A winner
:35:24. > :35:32.favourites? I don't know about that! -- are we the favourites? It
:35:32. > :35:36.is a matter of taking what we know out onto the pitch. Last time we
:35:36. > :35:46.got a better result than we thought and the time before that, we could
:35:46. > :36:00.
:36:00. > :36:08.-- Dan Godfrey. That is the first try for Pontypridd. Beautifully
:36:08. > :36:13.worked from the scrum-half, Lewis Jones. Jones gets that little dart
:36:13. > :36:23.in again. And it must be a score for Matthew Nuttall. Beautiful work
:36:23. > :36:26.
:36:26. > :36:36.by then. -- by them. Chris Morgan, standing off the scrum-half. He is
:36:36. > :36:39.
:36:39. > :36:48.up to halfway... And running to the posts for Neath's first. Lee Evans,
:36:48. > :36:58.charging... In the shadow of the Pontypridd posts. A drop goal, and
:36:58. > :37:05.
:37:05. > :37:13.but it was there. Congratulations to Bronte Bridge.
:37:13. > :37:23.Here are the other quarter-finals played. -- congratulations to
:37:23. > :37:24.
:37:24. > :37:29.We're still celebrating the Grand Slam and earlier this week, we went
:37:29. > :37:33.to see the special schools Six Nations.
:37:33. > :37:41.It is Thursday morning. The Six Nations finished last Saturday but
:37:41. > :37:44.not for these kids. What do the kids get out of this? Social skills,
:37:44. > :37:53.confidence. You haven't you got to look at their faces to see the
:37:53. > :37:59.enjoyment. -- you have only got two. You have supported this tournament
:37:59. > :38:04.for the last four years. Why do you keep coming back? You only have to
:38:04. > :38:09.watch a few of the games to see people enjoying themselves and we
:38:09. > :38:16.get so much out of it as well. The enthusiasm they show is second to
:38:16. > :38:22.none. It is very important that as professional rugby players, we put
:38:22. > :38:27.something back into the community. We really enjoy it. We have had the
:38:27. > :38:37.skills session in the morning and the tournament has just started. It
:38:37. > :38:45.
:38:45. > :38:52.is Wales against England. Let's He is a way! Look at this!
:38:52. > :38:57.Fantastic! What a great trier! This is Daniel Pritchard, the
:38:57. > :39:06.captain of Wales. How have you enjoyed beating England? Fantastic,
:39:06. > :39:12.thank you. Who was your best player? He scored the two tries?
:39:12. > :39:16.Yes. What did you think of the Six Nations? Be it was awesome. Good
:39:17. > :39:25.luck in the next game. You better go and see your team.
:39:25. > :39:31.Great stuff. Well done to all the players and the schools. We have
:39:31. > :39:40.had our fair share of rugby dynasties and Wales over the years.
:39:40. > :39:45.Now we have got the Williamses. will long remember those incredible
:39:46. > :39:49.scenes from the weekend, as Wales celebrated their latest Grand Slam,
:39:49. > :39:56.and the joy we felt as a nation, but imagine the pride he would feel
:39:57. > :40:02.if your boy was playing for Wales last weekend. Well, Scrum V's very
:40:02. > :40:12.own Welsh international and British Lion, Williams. His boy was playing
:40:12. > :40:15.
:40:15. > :40:23.for Wales at the weekend, so let's It was a very special occasion. I
:40:23. > :40:27.had to say that. How you feeling? mixed emotions, really. I was
:40:27. > :40:31.excited and nervous but the game was over before rain you it. It has
:40:31. > :40:39.a great feeling at the end when the ball went out of touch, it was such
:40:39. > :40:44.relief. It was very fantastic, we are proud of him. There is a long
:40:44. > :40:50.way to go on the lot of things to learn. But as a special moment for
:40:50. > :41:00.our hosts or! You have got a lot to learn! I still get that! Does it
:41:00. > :41:02.
:41:02. > :41:07.get on your nerves? When I come home we don't talk about rugby. It
:41:07. > :41:14.is good to have that there to bounce ideas off. Do you think he
:41:14. > :41:22.was helpful to you in the early days? I always played a lot of
:41:22. > :41:25.football when I was younger and enjoyed that. I gradually went to
:41:25. > :41:33.high school, and their gang of boys I got on with was the rugby boys.
:41:33. > :41:39.Once Dad realised my heart was set on rugby he gave me the help I
:41:39. > :41:47.needed. He is doing well but he is starting his journey. He has got
:41:47. > :41:57.more caps than his father already! I was a Lions Test player. But you
:41:57. > :42:00.
:42:00. > :42:04.haven't got any Lions Test caps yet! But that counts for 15 caps!
:42:04. > :42:14.The party on Saturday night, Sunday was Mother's Day and no doubt you
:42:14. > :42:16.
:42:16. > :42:20.were here. There was a bit of a I listen to his stories from the
:42:20. > :42:27.World Cup. There seems to be a lot of mutual respect bellbird. They
:42:27. > :42:30.pull together and pour out in the right direction. It is not a
:42:31. > :42:36.coincidence, the Six Nations, it is due to what has happened on the
:42:36. > :42:40.training field and off the field. I don't know much about his, he does
:42:40. > :42:44.not share a lot with me! There seems to be a lot of mutual respect
:42:44. > :42:48.between the lads and that is part of the reason why the are so
:42:48. > :42:54.successful and hopefully they will confront the challenges ahead.
:42:54. > :43:00.lot of the boys in the squad have done that. The average age is about
:43:00. > :43:06.24. The boys have done a lot in a short space of time. They are hard
:43:06. > :43:14.workers. The boys are happy playing rugby, really. There is a lot a --
:43:14. > :43:22.a little cold hot that you call the Wolff Park. I see on message boards.
:43:22. > :43:26.It is something that we will keep close to our chests! It all sounds
:43:26. > :43:34.very secretive and intriguing. But you know anything about it?
:43:34. > :43:39.haven't got a clue. They don't speak to us all the fellers! We can
:43:39. > :43:43.confirm that Adam Jones is not in the wolf pack. Something we can
:43:43. > :43:52.talk about is the Australia tour. It is at the end of a gruelling
:43:52. > :43:59.season for you. Are you up for it? A yes. You get breaks throughout
:43:59. > :44:03.the season. Funny, touring Australia is fantastic. It is going
:44:03. > :44:08.to be extra-special because not many of us have done it. I am
:44:08. > :44:12.looking forward to the trip. We will go out there were a bit of
:44:12. > :44:17.confidence. You mentioned it is an old school to have. We don't often
:44:17. > :44:21.see the summer to us now. We a three-Test series and some
:44:21. > :44:28.provincial games. I was lucky enough to go one in 1996 to
:44:28. > :44:37.Australia. We played seven games. The likes of the Brumbies, won a
:44:37. > :44:42.tart, the reds all those teams. You bond together. They are tough Test
:44:42. > :44:45.matches but it will be a great trip. Everybody will be itching to go on
:44:45. > :44:55.it. A great place to tour and a number of Welsh players sticking
:44:55. > :44:59.
:45:00. > :45:05.their hands up. He has had a lot of trouble with injuries. He came on
:45:05. > :45:10.the scene and scored on his debut and things were looking up. But he
:45:10. > :45:16.has had a lot of bangs and bumps. Knowing him personally, he is such
:45:16. > :45:26.a strong character but he has been down quite a bet. He is good fun
:45:26. > :45:31.and a good man to have on tour. bit of a character? Yes, yes!
:45:31. > :45:35.stuff. This Australia tour will be very tough opponents. They're
:45:35. > :45:45.second in the world. If anybody knows how to preach that defence it
:45:45. > :45:46.
:45:46. > :45:53.is a man like yourself. Their game is based, they are not strong on
:45:53. > :45:57.the set piece. Their game is based on turnovers. The error side with
:45:57. > :46:05.one of the least possessions and the World Cup. A -- they are
:46:05. > :46:10.Raeside. Wales and can upset them. One tis your prediction? I think
