:00:26. > :00:35.Three rounds gone. Two games left for Wales. 1 Triple Crown already
:00:35. > :00:43.in the bag. Wales complete the Triple Crown. It had everything -
:00:43. > :00:51.last-ditch tackles. A yellow card. A moment of magic. And the last
:00:51. > :00:57.minute, heart-stopping moment. Welcome to the Six Nations special.
:00:57. > :01:01.What a weekend, winning the Triple Crown for the first time at
:01:02. > :01:07.Twickenham and the Grand Slam dream is still on. Thank you, good
:01:07. > :01:12.evening. There are lots of very happy supporters on twitcher. I
:01:12. > :01:17.would chat to a man who knows what it is like to score at Twickenham.
:01:17. > :01:26.But first, it there was an Oscar for best newcomer, it would have to
:01:27. > :01:36.go to Scott Williams for that try... Williams leads the charge... Scott
:01:37. > :01:37.
:01:37. > :01:47.Williams! And please welcome tonight's very special guest, Shane
:01:47. > :02:11.
:02:11. > :02:17.Williams. Michael Owens. Carwyn -- Gwyn Jones. Welcome to Scrum V.
:02:17. > :02:27.Making his debut on the Six Nations special so far, on his birthday, Mr
:02:27. > :02:29.
:02:29. > :02:37.Shane Williams. Happy birthday. The boys had been pulling your leg
:02:37. > :02:44.about how old you are. 40? 38? I am not 40. Let people want what you
:02:44. > :02:48.know that. They say that 40 is the new 30 but I am not quite 40 yet.
:02:48. > :02:53.Let's look back at yesterday. Did you honestly think that Wales would
:02:53. > :02:58.win this after 70 minutes? In all three games, that has been the
:02:58. > :03:03.difference. The self belief. I did not think yesterday that Wales were
:03:03. > :03:07.going to lose. They were either going to draw or win the game and
:03:07. > :03:12.it was merely the trough. But it has got to the stage for whenever
:03:12. > :03:16.you see Welles playing, it is with confidence, self-belief and the
:03:16. > :03:22.boys are mentally tough. They do not expect to lose and this is very
:03:22. > :03:28.encouraging. After 70 minutes, I could not see them missing. It is a
:03:28. > :03:35.good side that wins tight games like that? I don't think anybody
:03:35. > :03:44.gets given anything at Twickenham. And we deserved to win in the end.
:03:44. > :03:49.Just go back, 1978, the Wales Grand Slam, beating France here. People
:03:49. > :03:55.forget that we start to their campaign with the 9 - 6 win at
:03:55. > :04:01.Twickenham. Good teams when things, championships, the Triple Crown.
:04:01. > :04:10.And they have to fight. They deserve to win. It is magnificent,
:04:10. > :04:15.to win this at Twickenham? The 20th time as well. It is another record
:04:15. > :04:20.taken by such a Young crowd. It was a big test for them going into
:04:20. > :04:25.Twickenham. To go there and win on the back of lots of expectation and
:04:25. > :04:29.they dealt with that fantastically. It was a well-motivated English
:04:29. > :04:34.team and they will be devastated but thoroughly deserved. Just so
:04:34. > :04:41.grateful of so many Young boys. won the Grand Slam. What is it
:04:42. > :04:45.like? Wales have got nothing to fear. They will beat Italy no
:04:45. > :04:51.problems, that French game and there are so confident. Amazing to
:04:51. > :04:56.see such a Young side playing with such maturity. Plenty to talk about
:04:56. > :05:06.but let's enjoy this once again. The commentators are Eddie Butler
:05:06. > :05:16.
:05:16. > :05:26.Phillips. The tackle brings down giant George. Rhys Priestland, the
:05:26. > :05:27.
:05:27. > :05:37.chase is on. And the ball goes dead. The switch by Dickson. England have
:05:37. > :05:40.
:05:40. > :05:50.the penalty advantage. Owen Farrell. He knew there was a penalty
:05:50. > :06:06.
:06:06. > :06:11.advantage. Offside against Wales. England take the lead at Twickenham.
:06:11. > :06:21.The referee should call this. They should be made to play. It cannot

:11:11. > :11:18.
:11:18. > :11:26.might take Wales to their Triple Crown at Twickenham! Good upper-

:13:25. > :13:29.
:13:29. > :13:35.these are the thoughts of the I had been to Twickenham many times
:13:35. > :13:39.and it has not been a happy hunting ground for many Welsh teams and to
:13:39. > :13:44.win the way we did, I think we probably paid better in previous
:13:44. > :13:51.games but we will take the win and we will tough it out and show
:13:51. > :13:57.character. Even though we went down to 14 men and I thought the way we
:13:57. > :14:04.reacted was really good. We kept ball in about 19 phases. It was
:14:04. > :14:09.probably the most composed we have been. We did well on the pitch.
:14:09. > :14:13.we believe in our ability and in the team and in each other. We
:14:13. > :14:18.understand what we can achieve as a group. We have high expectations
:14:18. > :14:24.and we understand what we can do and it is great to be a part of it.
:14:24. > :14:28.It is a really good time. I looked up and saw him going through and I

:14:37. > :14:45.our way, luckily and you need a bit of luck. -- are going our way.
:14:45. > :14:49.is pretty inconclusive. It is tough, isn't it? Once again, many
:14:49. > :14:55.congratulations. I understand you do not drink a lot after a match
:14:55. > :15:04.but have some chocolate. I have got a selection for you. One that milk
:15:04. > :15:08.and one white. Thank you very much. All the best. I am not sure if he
:15:08. > :15:18.has beaten all the chocolate but have some on us. Other chocolate
:15:18. > :15:20.
:15:20. > :15:25.What an outstanding game of rugby that was. I do not subscribe to be
:15:25. > :15:30.opinion Wales did not play well yesterday it. They made up for
:15:30. > :15:34.everything with great organisation when they did not have the ball.
:15:34. > :15:38.These statistics reflect a brutal encounter with neither team given
:15:38. > :15:43.an injured. Possession in favour of Wales but it could have been
:15:43. > :15:51.cleaned and quicker. The team offloading well in the tackle often
:15:51. > :15:55.wins the match but it was defence that was the key. 92 %. Leading,
:15:55. > :16:00.B's outstanding players. Their technique and commitment were
:16:00. > :16:05.breathtaking. I have got to talk about the hero's. Getting Jenkins
:16:05. > :16:10.made 12 tackles and three carries all stop more than any of the
:16:10. > :16:15.English forwards in the game. --. More than any of the English
:16:15. > :16:21.forwards are. The work rate is second to none. He is putting be
:16:21. > :16:24.tackles him, look at these examples. He is working for his team. He did
:16:24. > :16:31.He is working for his team. He did the groundwork. This was one of the
:16:31. > :16:36.best features of the game. Gethin Jenkins is still driving. Iain
:16:36. > :16:40.Evans, not many people are talking about him, but he has been
:16:40. > :16:45.outstanding in all the matches, not just yesterday but instrumental
:16:45. > :16:50.throughout. He got the ball to Mike Phillips and got him on that front
:16:50. > :16:53.foot and got that advantage. Be counter-attacking as well is
:16:53. > :17:00.something he is always looking to something he is always looking to
:17:00. > :17:07.do. A superb player. The critical area for me was when Rhys
:17:07. > :17:11.Priestland was off the pitch. Three points each. Wales in possession
:17:11. > :17:15.for that period for eight minutes. Controlled, patient and
:17:15. > :17:22.professional. England had possession 40 minutes and 55
:17:22. > :17:25.seconds but heart of that was taken up by a penalty. -- two minutes.
:17:25. > :17:30.They will be favourites but they have learned to live with the
:17:30. > :17:36.pressure because of the self-belief they enjoy it. Wales to win the
:17:36. > :17:41.Grand Slam for me now! The management will be purring. It was
:17:41. > :17:45.a great defensive display. Not just yesterday but against Scotland as
:17:46. > :17:50.well for long periods of time and they were disciplined and fantastic.
:17:50. > :17:54.They trust each other and that is coming through. When they get that
:17:55. > :18:03.tackle above the gain-line, they will be causing havoc at the
:18:03. > :18:07.breakdown and the discipline is very good. In some of the
:18:07. > :18:12.newspapers, Moseley English newspapers, one headline said that
:18:12. > :18:19.the disallowed try handed be Triple Crown to Wales. Let's talk about
:18:19. > :18:24.that. It was clearly close. They went for it but look at it from the
:18:24. > :18:31.Welsh point of view. Leigh Halfpenny was closest to the ruck
:18:31. > :18:34.when that ball went out. He went on when that ball went out. He went on
:18:34. > :18:39.that tackle and sacrificed his body hoping to stop David Strettle. We
:18:39. > :18:43.are talking about the one %. Three Welsh players in the last seconds
:18:43. > :18:51.of the match were trying to stop that try and successfully stopped
:18:51. > :18:54.him getting that ball down. Matches can be won on tiny things all stop
:18:54. > :18:59.the dark --. That is where the the dark --. That is where the
:18:59. > :19:02.small margins are coming in this level. The training and the
:19:02. > :19:12.intensity is there all the time and the discipline on and off the pitch
:19:12. > :19:14.
:19:14. > :19:18.will stop the same in 2008 --. same in 2008. You have got to hand
:19:18. > :19:23.it to Kemp. We often forget about that but that was a turning point
:19:23. > :19:30.all stop we have talked about the - -. We had talked about the
:19:30. > :19:34.composure. It was good, I think. It has been the case in Ireland and
:19:34. > :19:38.could have been the case in Scotland. Scotland had the majority
:19:38. > :19:43.of possession but they came out and threw everything at Wales again and
:19:43. > :19:49.Wales contained them. Amazing in the end and they are confident and
:19:49. > :19:54.they have got the self-belief. They can really give it to the team in
:19:54. > :19:59.the first half. They do not have to be winning by two or two three
:19:59. > :20:03.tries. They can draw all lose by a point. They can compete, where the
:20:03. > :20:07.teams down and they can win in the end. I have played in games where
:20:07. > :20:13.we have had the majority of possession and have played better
:20:13. > :20:18.rugby and lost. I cannot see them doing that. Warren Gatland said he
:20:18. > :20:22.was thinking of taking Rhys Priestland Op. Stephen Jones was
:20:22. > :20:29.ready to come on but he thought, hang on, I will give him another
:20:29. > :20:33.chance. That has been in evidence since the World Cup. Everybody was
:20:33. > :20:36.thinking they were going to the World Cup as a tight group and then
:20:36. > :20:43.in that game against England Warren Gatland said that was a must-win
:20:43. > :20:48.game. I have noticed a shift in mentality. The Welsh team has been
:20:48. > :20:54.talking themselves up. They were expecting to win and that
:20:54. > :21:01.translation has come through to the players. Wales are going to find a
:21:01. > :21:03.way to win. That is the hallmark of a great team. Some players grab the
:21:04. > :21:07.headlines but I am very glad that we have picked up the inevitable
:21:07. > :21:14.play at that you understand very well. He has got a tremendous
:21:14. > :21:20.workload. -- players. He has got that responsibility in the Welsh
:21:20. > :21:23.line-out which he has not done before. He is big and he is getting
:21:23. > :21:28.harder and he is a physical man and he is good at 10 paces as well. He
:21:28. > :21:34.is a target in the line-out. When people are coming on and contact is
:21:34. > :21:38.going on, you can take that, without a problem. You can look at
:21:38. > :21:43.the very good players and the competition and it is fantastic.
:21:43. > :21:53.have got Grand Slam winners to the right of me. How good is this team?
:21:53. > :21:57.
:21:58. > :22:01.Better than 2005? Well, time will tell. Nothing in the bag yet! What
:22:01. > :22:05.was interesting yesterday is that we did not understand how they were
:22:05. > :22:10.going to play it. They had a couple of matches in poor conditions,
:22:10. > :22:14.England and suddenly, the sunshine was shining and they played very
:22:14. > :22:20.well and they were winning the battles in the pitch is with Manu
:22:20. > :22:24.Tuilagi doing well. But they took the game a wave from asked. It was
:22:24. > :22:29.not pretty. We kicked, we chased and not as we would do normally and
:22:29. > :22:35.we were put under a lot of pressure, a very proud team and they threw
:22:35. > :22:40.everything at us. They do not lose many at Twickenham and we must give
:22:40. > :22:46.credit to Stuart Lancaster. They have got AGM with Owen Farrell.
:22:46. > :22:50.has got a great temperament. 19 years of age and he is playing very
:22:50. > :23:00.well. He has been amazing and he looks like the buyer that crowd the
:23:00. > :23:04.opportunity by the scruff of the neck. -- player. Take us inside the
:23:04. > :23:12.scamp -- camp would Scott Williams. Will he would be reminded about
:23:12. > :23:16.that? Wales and especially Warren Gatland will be very critical and
:23:16. > :23:20.he would have been mindful of the fact that we did have that overlap
:23:20. > :23:26.and they should have scored. He was glad he got that try because he
:23:26. > :23:31.made that mistake, Scott Williams. But he kept control of every bank.
:23:31. > :23:38.We talk about 92 % of effective tackles. Shaun Edwards will not be
:23:38. > :23:41.happy with that. People want more than that. He will. But we had a
:23:41. > :23:48.few missed tackles. Defence was very good but I thought the scrum
:23:48. > :23:53.was even better. When defence was broken, Sam Warburton's tackle, he
:23:53. > :23:58.tackled Manu Tuilagi with his shoelaces in the end. Leigh
:23:58. > :24:01.Halfpenny came across and knocked himself out with the tackle. They
:24:01. > :24:04.really did not want to let themselves down. They want to stop
:24:04. > :24:09.any team scoring against them and that is the mentality that they
:24:09. > :24:16.have got at the moment. They are a mentally tough grip and I do not
:24:16. > :24:22.want to see them losing. -- tough team. The panel are talking about
:24:22. > :24:26.mental toughness and it was quite good yesterday but it was
:24:26. > :24:32.incredibly codes and Sam Warburton said they did not play well. --
:24:32. > :24:39.incredibly close. We did not play well but England did not allowed us
:24:39. > :24:44.to play well. It was a very physical encounter. It was the
:24:44. > :24:48.actual desire that the team had when the lines were broken. At and
:24:48. > :24:55.Jens was scrambling and Sam Warburton. We mentioned Leigh
:24:55. > :25:03.Halfpenny. -- Adam Jones. The really positive attitude mentally
:25:03. > :25:08.has been great and has been there since the World Cup. One thing that
:25:08. > :25:13.they have got in common is that none of them were born when you
:25:13. > :25:19.scored your tries in 1988. They are very young! Have they got maturity
:25:19. > :25:23.beyond their years? Yes and that comes from playing together and
:25:23. > :25:26.they had been together for about one year. They have got that
:25:26. > :25:33.momentum and they are playing well and played well in the World Cup.
:25:33. > :25:39.Winning helps and the management have got to take a lot of accolades
:25:39. > :25:49.for creating that positive mental attitude. We remember that try,
:25:49. > :25:53.
:25:53. > :26:03.Adrian! It is time to round up the court report elsewhere. Starting
:26:03. > :26:11.
:26:11. > :26:18.with the Under 20 team and six Twickenham. They lost by 33 points
:26:18. > :26:24.to England. But it was a proud day for the Owens family, the second
:26:24. > :26:32.row, Becky Owens, tread on the same ground as her brother as the hooker.
:26:32. > :26:39.No joy for the students or England and Wales deaf. The death suffering
:26:39. > :26:45.their first defeat to England in 10 years. Dragons came from behind
:26:45. > :26:54.against Aironi to take it with the strife. The Six Nations again. And
:26:54. > :27:01.the round up with Scotland against France. That was a loose pass,
:27:01. > :27:11.Scotland at a standstill. Gives it wide to Lee Jones. Stuart Hogg for
:27:11. > :27:20.
:27:20. > :27:25.the try! And Scotland have that to John Baptiste. The loose head.
:27:25. > :27:35.They go to a different pace. That was a quick ball. Not there this
:27:35. > :27:45.time. Francois Trinh-Duc. And now, space, perhaps out wide. Wonderful
:27:45. > :27:51.
:27:51. > :27:59.try. And France hit back. Wesley Fofana. Vincent Clerc. And a real
:27:59. > :28:09.chance, now. Taken by Richie Vernon. And he gets it, it is a try for Lee
:28:09. > :28:11.
:28:11. > :28:16.Jones. And a second try for Scotland. Deceptively strong. He
:28:16. > :28:26.has support. And France will have that try. Maxime Medard under the
:28:26. > :28:27.
:28:27. > :28:31.posts. Once more, France reply in style. Back it goes, Sexton. He
:28:31. > :28:41.stepped inside and scrabbling onwards. And Keith Earls for the
:28:41. > :28:51.
:28:51. > :28:57.try. So near the line, tries to get it down. Held just short, says the
:28:57. > :29:07.referee. Italy have so many men. For the try for Italy, Sergio
:29:07. > :29:11.
:29:11. > :29:15.Parisse. Back it comes to Gordon D'Arcy. Surely, Stephen Ferris? He
:29:15. > :29:25.gives it wide to Tommy Bowe and he goes in for the try, which will
:29:25. > :29:26.
:29:26. > :29:36.give Ireland the lead at half-time. Stephen Frears. Marching to the
:29:36. > :29:43.
:29:43. > :29:47.line. Sexton. The long pass and Tommy Bowe is in for his second try.
:29:47. > :29:52.The RBS Six Nations Man of the Match, president Lee for his
:29:52. > :30:00.flawless kicking. Andrew Trimble for the corner. It will be another
:30:00. > :30:07.Wins for Ireland and France and this is how the table looks
:30:07. > :30:10.tonight... Wales now have two home games, Italy and France at the
:30:10. > :30:14.Millennium Stadium and the French take on Ireland next Saturday in
:30:14. > :30:18.that rearranged match in Paris. Ireland winning their first game in
:30:18. > :30:26.Dublin. Scotland and Italy await their first points of this year's
:30:26. > :30:31.championship. Jonathan Davies has been at Murrayfield today, working
:30:31. > :30:36.for BBC Sport. I spoke to him earlier and began by asking him for
:30:36. > :30:41.his assessment of Scotland against France. I think Scotland have more
:30:41. > :30:46.ideas to go up with. Disappointing in the line-out, flat, they started
:30:46. > :30:50.well and scored a couple of tries but there is just something missing,
:30:50. > :30:56.they lost momentum and too many handling errors and free-kicks and
:30:56. > :31:00.they lost their way. They just have not got that man at half back at
:31:00. > :31:04.the moment with a few injuries as well, which is sad, but France will
:31:04. > :31:08.improve. And they will get better through the tournament. Will's very
:31:08. > :31:14.much on course for the showdown against France. Is there anything
:31:14. > :31:18.to fear in the French side? I think there is. They are capable of doing
:31:18. > :31:24.fantastic things, they have a strong pack, the scrum was dominant
:31:24. > :31:32.against Scotland and they pick up the tempo and they make a break and
:31:32. > :31:35.then they have got people like Wesley Fofana and Aurelien Rougerie.
:31:36. > :31:43.And they have got two home games which will give them momentum. And
:31:43. > :31:49.that will take it into, hopefully, the Grand Slam decider in Cardiff.
:31:49. > :31:52.What pleased you most about Wales's performance at Twickenham? Winning.
:31:52. > :31:57.Everybody says how good England were and what they did but
:31:57. > :32:01.ultimately, they still lost the game. They did play well, better
:32:01. > :32:06.that everybody expected, defensively they put Wales under
:32:06. > :32:10.pressure. But Wales came out on the other end and they want and winning
:32:10. > :32:18.at Twickenham is very tough. I thought that maybe we did not take
:32:18. > :32:23.enough from deep, we put ourselves under pressure in a tight game.
:32:23. > :32:27.Leigh Halfpenny, he did not take enough from the back and we put
:32:27. > :32:32.ourselves under pressure. But the opportunity came, we could have
:32:32. > :32:36.scored a try with Scott Williams on the break. And then Scott Williams,
:32:36. > :32:41.that fantastic moment for him, from the halfway line, scoring a try,
:32:41. > :32:47.the winning try at Twickenham. For me, it is how they adapted, they
:32:47. > :32:50.will learn lots from this. Warburton has been magnificent. But
:32:51. > :32:55.they won. And sometimes, we think we did not play well and we lost.
:32:55. > :32:59.We did not play particularly well yesterday, as well as we can do,
:33:00. > :33:04.with a lot to learn, but we won and that is vitally important and it
:33:04. > :33:11.was a fantastic, fantastic game of rugby. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I
:33:11. > :33:17.was speaking in the hospitality box earlier and nothing gave me greater
:33:17. > :33:22.pleasure than walking into that room full of English men! And given
:33:22. > :33:26.Italy's performance in the Six Nations so far, there will be a
:33:26. > :33:31.temptation for Warren Gatland to tinker with his team? I think he
:33:31. > :33:36.did this a couple of years ago and it did not work out. We stumbled a
:33:36. > :33:43.little bit. Now, it is about adding to what we have done, going into
:33:43. > :33:48.Italy. And just going there, regain confidence, played very well and
:33:48. > :33:52.set the Grand Slam decider up. Just go there and play together. That is
:33:52. > :34:00.what we need to do next. And then build up and look forward to the
:34:00. > :34:05.French match. Thank you very much indeed. Jonathan Davies at
:34:05. > :34:10.Murrayfield. What were the boys do with the Italy game? What does
:34:10. > :34:18.Adrian think? Does Warren Gatland need to resist the urge to tinker
:34:18. > :34:25.with the team? I think he has learned his lesson, he tinkered a
:34:25. > :34:28.few years ago and you must keep the combinations together. I would not.
:34:28. > :34:34.Unless you are forced to tinker with position because of injuries.
:34:34. > :34:39.I don't think the injured players will have enough game time before
:34:39. > :34:42.the Italian game. We follow all the players on Twitter and they all
:34:42. > :34:47.seem to have such a great relationship with each other. They
:34:47. > :34:51.are teasing each other, they like hanging out, how important is that
:34:51. > :34:56.to success on the pitch? Massive. You could see the desire from all
:34:56. > :35:00.of them to help each other right. And scrambling for the defence.
:35:00. > :35:04.That does not come naturally, it is because you are helping a friend
:35:04. > :35:10.out. And that shows through all the performances this year. Do you
:35:10. > :35:15.agree? Would you make any changes? In fairness, Warren Gatland said he
:35:15. > :35:19.learnt his lesson from a few years ago and made lots of changes so he
:35:19. > :35:25.said maybe one or two depending on injuries and maybe look at one or
:35:25. > :35:29.two players but generally, they will do the same. He gave
:35:29. > :35:33.themselves seven out of him after Ireland, perhaps six out of him in
:35:33. > :35:38.terms of quality on the pitch. We need it out of him and nine out of
:35:38. > :35:41.him for France. So that we can go in, knowing that the attacking
:35:41. > :35:46.lines and the support runners and all of those things come together.
:35:46. > :35:51.If we play six or seven again, we might not win. And that is the
:35:52. > :35:59.worry. I think they will keep the same team, roughly. Italy have
:35:59. > :36:02.shipped 91 points, they have been pretty poor. There is a week break
:36:02. > :36:08.coming up and the defences fantastic, it is keeping us in the
:36:08. > :36:14.game. Keeping the strategies, they need to improve, the coaches will
:36:14. > :36:17.be looking at why we are playing this low ruck a lot of the time.
:36:17. > :36:21.Just get the momentum in the attacking. We need to create
:36:21. > :36:29.overlaps rather than relying on individuals. There are bigger
:36:29. > :36:32.challenges again. A Michael, like it or not, the Welsh public and
:36:32. > :36:38.rugby fans will talk about the Grand Slam. Well players be
:36:38. > :36:44.distracted by that? I don't think so, we have a fantastic temperament
:36:44. > :36:48.and they showed great maturity and they take it one game at a time. It
:36:48. > :36:52.is fantastic. They would just be desperate to play against Italy and
:36:53. > :36:57.be really confident. I think they were just tried to smash Italy and
:36:57. > :37:02.put in a really good performance. And then onwards and upwards. They
:37:02. > :37:06.will go into this with massive confidence. And that is tremendous
:37:06. > :37:13.to see because it has not happened ever, that they have been going in
:37:13. > :37:18.with expectations on them. Scott Williams, five tries in 10
:37:19. > :37:22.appearances, barely one year under his belt. Put him in against Italy?
:37:22. > :37:28.Especially after yesterday. But because of the try but he has had a
:37:28. > :37:32.taste for it. He has had that try, he would not have slept much last
:37:32. > :37:35.night and fingers crossed, he cannot be to play again. He is
:37:35. > :37:40.playing with confidence and that will help him at No went for the
:37:40. > :37:43.next game. But I would not tinker at all, it is all about momentum.
:37:43. > :37:48.He was already talking about the French game, it is about building
:37:48. > :37:52.up for that big game and you want you guys to play together. Italy
:37:52. > :37:58.are a good side. They are a side that her very dog did in keeping
:37:58. > :38:02.the game for 40 minutes. But if you can weather that storm and have a
:38:02. > :38:07.good second half, and perform like Wales have, yes, they will blow
:38:07. > :38:11.Italy away. But Italy are very creative so let's not get ahead of
:38:11. > :38:20.ourselves, let's keep the momentum because we have to be games left.
:38:20. > :38:27.The it has been a pleasure to have on the programme. Adrian, Carwyn
:38:27. > :38:32.Jones,... So, the Grand Slam dream is on and if you thought it was
:38:32. > :38:42.tense watching, imagine being on the pitch. From one of us -
:38:42. > :38:57.
