:00:24. > :00:29.After two weeks, the Six Nations explodes into life.
:00:29. > :00:35.Wales travel to the Stade de France, and nobody gave them a chance.
:00:36. > :00:45.It was tense, gritty, it wasn't pretty, but one moment chambray
:00:45. > :00:51.plea - the North Star. -- one moment it shone brightly.
:00:51. > :00:56.Joy as the Six Nations is back on track for Wales.
:00:56. > :00:59.Good evening and welcome to the Scrum V Six Nations special. After
:00:59. > :01:05.eight straight defeats, Wales showed character and courage to
:01:05. > :01:08.beat France in Paris. Good evening. What's a tense game
:01:08. > :01:18.that was. Leigh Halfpenny was a hero once more, but one crucial
:01:18. > :01:37.
:01:37. > :01:47.Tonight, our guests are Kingsley Jones, Shane Howarth and Tom
:01:47. > :02:09.
:02:09. > :02:16.What a reception from the great live audience in the studio.
:02:16. > :02:20.Kingsley, no matter the performance, it is all about the winner? Yes. I
:02:20. > :02:27.think that kick from Biggar and the quality finish from George North
:02:27. > :02:31.made a big difference to the Wales' Six Nations. Both sides looked more
:02:31. > :02:35.afraid of losing than trying to win. But the important thing was the
:02:35. > :02:41.winner. In the last five minutes of the game, you saw the confidence
:02:41. > :02:46.coming back. It is massive for the rest of the tournament. Tom, a
:02:46. > :02:49.strange atmosphere? Very strange. The French supporters were on the
:02:49. > :02:54.backs of the French team from the start, they were whistling and
:02:54. > :02:58.booing. But Wales were under pressure. The teams, the coaches.
:02:58. > :03:03.And what better way to on Sarita Mamat performance? It was not
:03:03. > :03:10.pretty, but it was a winner, and I feel this could kick-start their
:03:10. > :03:14.Six Nations. What a way to do it. It was brilliant. It was not great
:03:14. > :03:19.for 60 minutes, but the way they defended in the end and the
:03:19. > :03:25.attitude was under -- was unbelievable. What is it like to
:03:25. > :03:30.win at the Stade de France? It is very nice. Wales have not won there
:03:30. > :03:36.for several years. It was touch and go for a bit, but Dan Biggar's chip
:03:36. > :03:41.right at the end was brilliant. was a gritty display, they dug in
:03:41. > :03:46.and did all the dirty work? When you have played eight games and
:03:46. > :03:51.gossip, you have a scoreline like yesterday, it is a great place to
:03:51. > :03:57.be. When you are struggling for form and you are playing away from
:03:57. > :04:06.home, that really sets it up. Wales have the chance. They did it. What
:04:06. > :04:11.was interesting for me is that the first two line-ups for either side
:04:11. > :04:18.were thrown to the front, that is a standard go to move to get into the
:04:18. > :04:28.game. I found that quite amusing. Mr Shane Howarth, making his Scrum
:04:28. > :04:30.
:04:30. > :04:36.V Six Nations debut. Great to see you. You won in Paris
:04:36. > :04:41.in 1999, alongside Rob Howley? I think what is so pleasing for the
:04:41. > :04:46.nation is that everybody is pleased for him? We were probably under the
:04:46. > :04:51.pump, but not the way that they were. It was a game we had to win.
:04:51. > :04:56.The same happened yesterday, as the boys are alluded to. It was dance
:04:56. > :05:02.of the desperate, we were playing Quins last night, I got off lucky.
:05:02. > :05:07.I missed most of the second half until George North's try, so I got
:05:07. > :05:13.off lucky. But a win is a winner. I know there are things to work on.
:05:13. > :05:23.So much to talk about, boys. Let's enjoy the match once again.
:05:23. > :05:31.
:05:31. > :05:38.Jonathan Davies and Andrew Cotter a good drive on by Phillips. Wales
:05:39. > :05:46.are in a very good position, 50 metres out from the French line.
:05:47. > :05:54.Great to drive by Phillips. Great position. A great start by Wales,
:05:54. > :06:01.no doubt. Rob Howley and Mark Jones on the
:06:01. > :06:06.right. I think they will be happy with it so far. With the possession
:06:06. > :06:16.and the territory they have had, they want a few points. They might
:06:16. > :06:23.
:06:23. > :06:33.get them now, a penalty from the confidence wise. France, despite
:06:33. > :06:55.
:06:55. > :07:04.being on the back boot in their own Wales. They will come back for that
:07:04. > :07:07.penalty. I think he has the distance for this one. 3-3 in the
:07:07. > :07:17.Stade de France with almost 20 minutes gone. Nothing between the
:07:17. > :07:17.
:07:17. > :07:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds
:07:58. > :08:08.forward, eventually taken down by Welsh Jersey's pouring to try to
:08:08. > :08:17.
:08:17. > :08:25.chance. A wonderful kick by Leigh Halfpenny. All the way they come
:08:25. > :08:35.back into the French half. This is our former winner River -- reacting
:08:35. > :08:35.
:08:35. > :09:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds
:09:31. > :09:41.noise has increased inside the they call it. Ryan Jones is doing a
:09:41. > :10:18.
:10:18. > :10:28.great job. Brilliant. That is momentum going. The referee has
:10:28. > :10:45.
:10:45. > :10:52.called. Oh, stolen! Great defensive could give the penalty, now it is
:10:52. > :11:02.Benjamin Fall once again. Very fortunate that Jonathan Davies was
:11:02. > :11:34.
:11:34. > :11:44.outside the 22, right in front of with two minutes gone in the second
:11:44. > :12:18.
:12:18. > :12:25.negative option to take. They had Wales on the back foot, they had
:12:25. > :12:30.numbers on the right-hand side. They are all in there. There is no
:12:30. > :12:40.defence on the left-hand side. And then... Wrong decision and a poor,
:12:40. > :12:50.poor kick. Then we go again, this ends in a penalty for France. --
:12:50. > :13:01.
:13:01. > :13:10.France are level at 6 points apiece, nine minutes remaining in this very
:13:10. > :13:15.tense match. If they could bring those big winners in and targets
:13:15. > :13:25.Frederick Michalak, he does not like that side of the game. --
:13:25. > :13:33.
:13:33. > :13:39.try, and it may be the one which wins this match. A long way to go.
:13:40. > :13:48.George North has certainly scored. He thinks he has scored. Great
:13:48. > :13:54.bounce for George North. You will not stop him. Oh, try! That is a
:13:54. > :14:04.drive. Keeps his left it in play. Watch the reaction! This is what it
:14:04. > :14:04.
:14:05. > :14:10.means! -- that is a try. Keeps his left foot in place. It takes the
:14:10. > :14:20.difference to seven points. Great kick from Leigh Halfpenny. Wales
:14:20. > :14:28.
:14:28. > :14:38.are seven points in front with kick this they could take it beyond
:14:38. > :14:42.
:14:42. > :14:49.They know how vital it is! Leigh Halfpenny's kit takes Wales 10
:14:49. > :14:59.points clear with five minutes to go. And the spectators are heading
:14:59. > :15:21.
:15:21. > :15:31.into the night, the French fans. What a win for Wales! Here come the
:15:31. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:49.So, what a win from Wales! Let's get the thoughts of the coaches and
:15:49. > :15:58.
:15:58. > :16:02.Words can't explain, can't describe how much this means. What a
:16:02. > :16:11.fantastic feeling. The boys played incredibly well. We knew it was
:16:11. > :16:14.going to be tough coming here, but we stuck together, dug deep.
:16:14. > :16:20.talked about coming year and playing as a team and I think we've
:16:20. > :16:30.done that. The Testament these guys are shown up on the last few months,
:16:30. > :16:35.
:16:35. > :16:39.Enormous congratulations. It must feel an enormous weight has been
:16:39. > :16:43.lifted off your shoulders. course there is a sense of relief,
:16:43. > :16:50.but the consistency, the message we been saying to the players for the
:16:50. > :16:56.past few months is that they don't become a bad side overnight. The
:16:56. > :17:03.character you need, the attitude, the determination, you need all of
:17:03. > :17:08.that. The players showed that in abundance yesterday.
:17:08. > :17:11.desperation was there to see for everyone. That first half, there
:17:11. > :17:16.was a moment where France were starting to get on top and we help
:17:16. > :17:22.them. That was the turning point. You were the official man-of-the-
:17:22. > :17:29.match. Two pressure kicks. You knock them in with relative ease,
:17:29. > :17:39.had you stay so calm? Believe me, my heart was pumping, beating so
:17:39. > :17:40.
:17:40. > :17:47.fast. Were you in your head rather than in it the Stade de France with
:17:47. > :17:57.18,000 people? Yes, it's quiet, you have to be able to focus on the
:17:57. > :18:00.
:18:00. > :18:08.cake. -- kick. What was last night like? Did you ever few celebratory
:18:08. > :18:15.beers? A few, but it was an early night, trying to get some sleep and
:18:15. > :18:20.spending the day with a family now. You've got a little boy? Yes.
:18:20. > :18:25.will be a proud little boy. Will he have watched it? He will have, but
:18:25. > :18:28.I don't think he'll realise how big it was. He wouldn't know the
:18:28. > :18:34.difference between playing for my local club. It will be nice to
:18:34. > :18:44.spend time with them today. Sir, Where Did It All Go Right for
:18:44. > :18:49.
:18:49. > :18:54.Well, Wales that attitude in abundance yesterday. It's in nine
:18:54. > :19:01.games since week shunned the opposition. It was a great
:19:01. > :19:11.offensive affair, typified by the two defensive roles. It was a
:19:11. > :19:14.
:19:14. > :19:24.kicking display and a tactical one that plague the evidence for Wales.
:19:24. > :19:44.
:19:44. > :19:47.Let's take a look. They identified in the crucial moment where they
:19:47. > :19:52.identify the Space Again and George North took his opportunity pull
:19:52. > :20:00.stop it was a very disjointed game. Both teams seemed afraid to lose it.
:20:00. > :20:05.The pitch and the referee didn't help either. Eight minutes so round
:20:05. > :20:14.at the scrum time. There were 16 scrums, 11 of which were from
:20:14. > :20:21.penalties or free kicks. A frustrating afternoon. Wales are
:20:21. > :20:26.built a reputation on a strong scrum, and the pitch didn't help.
:20:26. > :20:31.Time again, Adam Jones was deemed to infringe on the site by the
:20:31. > :20:37.referee. It was a frustrating afternoon. France seemed to lack
:20:37. > :20:44.ideas, rhythm and leadership. But you can't keep Rhian Jones down. He
:20:44. > :20:49.Sauveur to smile -- he's so versatile. He's a talisman for
:20:49. > :20:57.Wales when the place and a red shirt. He was grappling with the
:20:57. > :21:01.French guys off the gold. Ryan Jones to provide the Welsh affair.
:21:01. > :21:08.In the final moments, Kyi found himself as a nuisance value time
:21:08. > :21:13.and time again, turning the ball over and ripping it from the French.
:21:13. > :21:23.Were the French in different? Do they have tactical issues, or did
:21:23. > :21:28.
:21:29. > :21:36.Wales a really stop them playing Lyn Jones, what do you think?
:21:36. > :21:46.stand out thing for me with Wales was the discipline a Turk. -- they
:21:46. > :21:49.
:21:49. > :21:54.took. Brian Jones was very prevalent in that. The contact
:21:54. > :21:58.skills with Wales would right yesterday. A Munster at all, they
:21:58. > :22:08.were disciplined and understanding and accurate in their roles. It was
:22:08. > :22:09.
:22:09. > :22:16.no frills. France just missed out a drop kick, they missed an open goal.
:22:16. > :22:25.It could go either way, but it didn't. They make less mistakes in
:22:25. > :22:29.the second half as well. It's the defence that won the game. The last
:22:29. > :22:34.10 minutes were unbelievable. I do think France struggled a bit. Their
:22:34. > :22:37.problem is most of the teams they play in their league of foreign. I
:22:37. > :22:41.don't think they picked their best team either, but you can't take
:22:41. > :22:45.anything away from Wales. It didn't matter about the performance,
:22:45. > :22:50.playing well and losing that we've done so many times against
:22:50. > :22:59.Australia, it was about grinding out a win. You seen what it means
:22:59. > :23:09.to the boys. A big factor as well as everybody put their Birt to the
:23:09. > :23:13.
:23:13. > :23:23.ball, kicked well and kicked long. -- put their foot to the ball.
:23:23. > :23:24.
:23:24. > :23:34.France or poor against Italy and again it yesterday was the same. I
:23:34. > :23:38.
:23:38. > :23:46.tested him yesterday. The selection of his team, he is experimenting
:23:46. > :23:52.with a few positions. Morgan Parra, Francois Trinh-Duc, he's
:23:52. > :23:55.experimenting. It will be interesting to see what they do.
:23:55. > :24:04.We're lucky that we game against a desperate French team in one way.
:24:04. > :24:12.It was tight and we got the all- important went. I was impressed
:24:12. > :24:18.with Adam Jones. I thought he had a good game. He got pearlised a few
:24:18. > :24:27.times -- penalised but the car but they played on yesterday was an
:24:27. > :24:33.atrocious pitch! -- the carpet. He attacked straight and then the
:24:33. > :24:41.pressure came across. In the second half he tried a more loose
:24:41. > :24:50.technique to give Wales a bit more time. They just needed cubits
:24:50. > :24:55.square. What about the attacking options for Wales! All pundits have
:24:55. > :24:59.been talking about their defence qualities. Do their attacking
:25:00. > :25:08.options were you? A poor defence dominated because neither attack
:25:08. > :25:16.from my view was any good. I think Wales have got the best back three
:25:16. > :25:24.in the Six Nations. I want to see the more open, more free. Whether
:25:24. > :25:34.you could get any scrum domination on that service, who knows? -- that
:25:34. > :25:43.surface. I would just love to see North and space, Halfpenny and
:25:43. > :25:53.space. They just had to win. I think they went away from an open
:25:53. > :25:55.
:25:55. > :26:03.game to just write them down. -- grind them. I think the space was
:26:03. > :26:08.behind. It's difficult against that type of defence to exploit the
:26:08. > :26:12.space behind. I was pitched side yesterday working for BBC Sport.
:26:13. > :26:16.There were so much emotion on that pitch as soon as the whistle went.
:26:17. > :26:26.Jamie Roberts gave an interview shortly afterwards and talked about
:26:27. > :26:40.
:26:40. > :26:46.That's just an amazing player, he's a big fan and it goes to show what
:26:46. > :26:52.it means to win. You know Jamie very well. This dip the press have
:26:52. > :27:00.given Rob Howley and the Welsh squad, has it been justified? --
:27:00. > :27:04.the stick. Well, it is part and parcel of the deal. Don't worry
:27:04. > :27:10.about what people say, everybody has a job to do in this industry,
:27:10. > :27:17.the agents, media. Had you cope there? You had a couple of run-ins
:27:17. > :27:22.with the press, didn't you? No, not really. Yes, you did! I was in the
:27:22. > :27:26.press conference! Well, you mature and grow up over the years. You
:27:26. > :27:35.just learn to deal with it because you know you are looking at the
:27:35. > :27:39.performance. I went through a 10 run defeat once upon a time and
:27:39. > :27:42.when we won the game afterwards there were tears in the Changing
:27:42. > :27:49.Room. Worst game of rugby I'd ever seen in my life, but it didn't
:27:49. > :27:53.matter. I think expectations were high. Were not going to win the
:27:53. > :27:57.Grand Slam every year, it's not going to happen. But we want a
:27:57. > :28:03.level of consistency. This game on the weekend, we found a catalyst to
:28:03. > :28:05.take us forward. There was a great moment from the match yesterday.
:28:05. > :28:13.When George North scores in the corner, look at this fellow in a
:28:13. > :28:23.bobble hat, hugging him. Then he gets wheeled away by the security.
:28:23. > :28:31.
:28:31. > :28:35.We've identified him, if he is Now, that his fatherly love. Have
:28:35. > :28:45.any of your relatives any piled onto the pitch? Eden's core any
:28:45. > :28:46.
:28:46. > :28:52.tries! -- you didn't score any tries! It just goes to show his
:28:52. > :29:01.father is a mad fan, just like they all laugh. What a finish the George
:29:02. > :29:09.North. -- from. I came guarantee the Welsh management will be
:29:09. > :29:16.working harder in the two weeks after this when then they will have
:29:16. > :29:19.done before, working out why they want. I played a bit for Rob Howley
:29:20. > :29:29.in you fill them, because you know as a coach how bloody hard you're
:29:30. > :29:34.
:29:34. > :29:38.working behind the seeds. -- scenes. In the Sunday Times, they said that
:29:38. > :29:48.they would envious of the try, but they describe George North's
:29:48. > :29:48.
:29:48. > :29:54.finished as sublime. His power was just absolutely fantastic. Do you
:29:54. > :29:57.agree? It was a good attempt from Francois Trinh-Duc and we know how
:29:57. > :30:03.strong he is. Going back to the pressure on coaches, is ridiculous,
:30:03. > :30:08.really. They are fine lines every game. When you're coaching and
:30:08. > :30:12.winning, you might try a line over 15 and an inside ball round the
:30:12. > :30:17.back and you don't realise how much your own behaviour changes when
:30:17. > :30:20.you're in that position. You tighten everything up, and it's
:30:20. > :30:27.interesting, Lyn Jones said, you grow up to the phone, you drive it,
:30:27. > :30:37.you can't help but do it because the pressure is huge. They will be
:30:37. > :30:48.
:30:48. > :30:54.opening their minds and trying to Your comments about the blitzed
:30:54. > :30:58.defence, do you stand by them? Those comments will be borne out
:30:58. > :31:02.when we play teams like South Africa, New Zealand and Australia,
:31:02. > :31:08.we will have to beat them to achieve that. France came to bully
:31:08. > :31:13.us, they had Bastareaud in the centre, they wanted to run straight
:31:13. > :31:20.through worse. It suited us. Away, boys, fill your boots. But let's
:31:20. > :31:26.remember what we were trying to get to. Shaun Edwards knows that. There
:31:26. > :31:33.is not much he is not already aware of. It is just an observation, and
:31:33. > :31:38.Shaun Edwards will not change. touched on the criticism of Rob
:31:38. > :31:42.Howley, is that fair because he is the caretaker? He has taken over a
:31:42. > :31:48.difficult position, by definition he is taking care of the team until
:31:48. > :31:52.Warren Gatland comes back. He has been loyal to Warren, he has kept
:31:52. > :31:57.the structure the same. He could not exactly changed everything and
:31:57. > :32:02.then when one comes back say, there you go. It is a difficult position
:32:02. > :32:06.for Rob Howley. But that is the business we are in. What are your
:32:06. > :32:10.thoughts on the scrum, poor old Adam Jones and the pitch? The pitch
:32:10. > :32:16.was not great, but it was the same for both sides. We know how good
:32:17. > :32:21.the French are at scrummage. The Adam perhaps coughed up a few
:32:21. > :32:24.penalties yesterday, he would be disappointed with that. But he is
:32:24. > :32:29.still be a foundation that we have built our game on over the past
:32:29. > :32:34.three years. -- he is still the foundation. But France game with a
:32:34. > :32:39.big scrummage. Thank you. Let's round up the waste
:32:39. > :32:49.-- the rest of the action, we start with a Pro12 and a possible

:32:53. > :32:58.champions at Ravenhill. There was a penalty duel between Ruan Pienaar
:32:58. > :33:08.and Matthew Morgan. Even if the Ospreys fly half did strike the odd

:35:03. > :35:08.But Reece-Edwards' side did not give up. Taylor showed great
:35:08. > :35:16.strength and pace and was denied just short of the line in her first
:35:16. > :35:20.cap. It finished 32-0 to France. Pylons go top after their historic
:35:20. > :35:27.win against England, and Wales need a win in Italy as they would for a
:35:27. > :35:32.top-four finish to secure a place in next year's World Cup.

:36:31. > :36:35.this week that our correspondent really needed to adopt his --
:36:35. > :36:40.embrace his adopted country. Last week we met the England
:36:40. > :36:46.players and I was pleasantly surprised, Ben Morgan was an utter

:36:50. > :36:54.be a member of One Direction. And direction is exactly what Stuart
:36:54. > :36:58.Lancaster has given his team. But it would still be good to know what
:36:58. > :37:03.goes on inside the head of an Englishman. I've been doing some
:37:03. > :37:08.research this week to better understand their philosophy. Austin
:37:08. > :37:12.Healy, every Welshman's pariah, makes an interesting point in his
:37:12. > :37:16.autobiography. He says, it helps to have a bit of arrogance of the
:37:16. > :37:20.right sort on a rugby pitch. In professional sport, there was no
:37:20. > :37:24.place for self-doubt, you can't afford to let its surface, you will
:37:24. > :37:28.end up getting hurt. Is this what we are mistaking for a perceived
:37:28. > :37:32.English superiority? Today's mission for me is to find
:37:32. > :37:37.out what it is like to be an England fan. To do that, I will
:37:37. > :37:42.need to go under cover, and to do that, I will need camouflage. For
:37:42. > :37:49.what I am about to do, I beg for forgiveness of first my family, my
:37:49. > :37:59.friends, but, more importantly, of you, the Scrum V viewer. Please,
:37:59. > :38:00.
:38:00. > :38:09.So, if you are in England than the best thing to do is come to England.

:41:53. > :42:02.then we won the World Cup. I think it is good. Could this side win a
:42:02. > :42:07.Grand Slam? I believe it could be a Grand Slam win. There are lots of
:42:07. > :42:11.young players who are gelling well. It possibly could be, yes. It could
:42:11. > :42:17.be, but you never know. Would you put your house on it? I have
:42:18. > :42:22.already paid for my house, so, yeah. A so this weekend we have learned
:42:22. > :42:25.that, just like in Wales, rugby is at the heart of the community. It
:42:25. > :42:29.is a family events and they depend on these guys for their future,
:42:29. > :42:35.just like we do. From Ms Six Nations pointed you, we have
:42:35. > :42:45.learned that England have a steely edge, and by winning away from home,
:42:45. > :42:48.like Wales did yesterday, it shows that this championship is wide open.
:42:48. > :42:55.The fans, given the fact they beat the All Blacks in the autumn, they
:42:55. > :42:59.think they can win the Grand Slam. Is it on? Of course. They looked
:42:59. > :43:05.very powerful and confident today, it was a stalemate game that
:43:05. > :43:09.England have the edge all the time. You've got to levy coming back from
:43:09. > :43:13.injury, they have strength and depth. They were right on top of
:43:13. > :43:19.the game, it will take a hell of a team, probably on March 16th, to
:43:19. > :43:25.beat them. That scares me, I am devoted to two countries which are
:43:25. > :43:29.taught to hate the English. The problem is Stuart Lancaster is
:43:29. > :43:34.making the right noises, and I have not met him get through Wasps, but
:43:34. > :43:38.he is making the right noises and the rate selection. They are going
:43:38. > :43:44.all right, unfortunately. Or fortunately, depending on where you
:43:44. > :43:52.come from. We have to take a lot of a friend's -- a lot of confidence
:43:52. > :44:01.from fans. I think we can spoil the party. We always front up against
:44:01. > :44:10.England. I am impressed with their belief. To go to Lansdowne Road and
:44:10. > :44:13.be so well organised, particularly they made a lot of errors at the
:44:13. > :44:18.start and allowed England... By his England have been gradually getting
:44:18. > :44:23.better since the autumn, they beat the All Blacks... That will give
:44:23. > :44:28.you so much belief, beating the All Blacks. It has given them a lot of
:44:28. > :44:34.belief, that showed today. Ireland did not play well, but to go to
:44:34. > :44:43.Lansdowne Rose and buzz Lansdowne rose -- Lansdowne Road in those
:44:43. > :44:49.conditions and get the wind... have to move on, boys. Wales' next

:47:50. > :47:54.So, Italy next for Wales. Wales will have some renewed
:47:54. > :48:04.confidence now. Italy looked well beaten by Scotland yesterday but

:48:25. > :48:28.stopping Bowe line speed, they will be on the front foot against the
:48:28. > :48:34.Italians. Credit to the Welsh coaches for
:48:34. > :48:41.their selection and tactics, but they have timing issues to work on.

:49:02. > :49:12.Jones is back next week. Sam Warburton needs to come back, and
:49:12. > :49:16.
:49:17. > :49:21.Lyn Jones, what do you do? You have so many selection headaches?
:49:21. > :49:26.want to be playing England on 16th March, you want to make sure all
:49:26. > :49:31.your best players are available. And how are you going to get there?
:49:31. > :49:41.Will Alun Wyn Jones be good enough to be selected for the game? Too
:49:41. > :49:51.right! Should he be? Too right! I would go for Alun Wyn Jones, yes.
:49:51. > :49:56.
:49:56. > :50:00.What about the back row? Ryan would have to play.
:50:01. > :50:09.What happens, Lynn, there is a big issue, because Ryan Jones stays as
:50:09. > :50:15.captain. We can't agree on much, I would put Alun Wyn Jones on the
:50:15. > :50:20.bench. They have to win in France. I would keep Tipuric in the team,
:50:20. > :50:25.he has done nothing wrong. Sam has missed a game, he has not been
:50:25. > :50:31.outstanding... Ryan Jones continues as captain? Where does Sam
:50:31. > :50:35.Warburton fit? Put him on the bench. No, he should start, he is the
:50:35. > :50:44.captain and he has there been best -- he has been the best for two
:50:44. > :50:50.years. Do we have any backs? I know it is difficult for you because you
:50:50. > :50:54.know some of them, but what would you do? It is difficult, they
:50:54. > :51:01.played well and they won. I am a believer that you do not change a
:51:01. > :51:08.winning team. Not even have Alun Wyn Jones is fit? He could come on
:51:08. > :51:12.the bench. Are you happy with the centre partnership? The way we play,
:51:12. > :51:17.we don't need creation at the moment. We thrive on set pieces,
:51:17. > :51:23.that is how they want to play. They are given a job to run straight.
:51:23. > :51:31.The first line-out of the game was to send Jamie Roberts up. We only
:51:31. > :51:37.need creation when things don't go right. Change, yes or no? Who are
:51:37. > :51:42.your alternatives? Hook, I played with James Hook for many years, he
:51:42. > :51:48.is creative, but I don't think you change a winning team. James Hook
:51:48. > :51:58.4? No, I think it is fine as it is. There are lots of options but there
:51:58. > :52:02.
:52:02. > :52:08.is a lot of competition. You have Ryan Bevington. What would you do?
:52:08. > :52:13.How good were the back row yesterday? Very good. How well do
:52:13. > :52:19.they work together? They worked very well together. But if you get
:52:19. > :52:23.two world class players available for selection...? As a coach, I
:52:23. > :52:29.would say you are probably looking at Tipuric ahead of walkers and at
:52:29. > :52:36.the moment. Will I get shot for that? I don't know! -- you are
:52:36. > :52:41.probably looking at a pyrrhic ahead of Sam Warburton. It is a massive
:52:41. > :52:45.call. But I thought that back row worked well together yesterday.
:52:45. > :52:50.you are saying no change? Warburton on the bench.
:52:50. > :52:54.Gareth, do you agree with Tom Shanklin that we need creators?
:52:54. > :53:00.unless we change our philosophy. If we will play the same way we have,
:53:00. > :53:03.we will go with the guys that we have. You do not need to put
:53:03. > :53:08.somebody else in the centre unless you will change the way you are
:53:08. > :53:12.trying to play. The panel could not agree whether Alun Wyn Jones should
:53:12. > :53:16.be on the bench or the starting line-up. One name we did that here
:53:16. > :53:21.was Andrew Coombs, what do we do with him? Why would you change it?
:53:21. > :53:26.He has played well. Ian Evans has played superbly well. Alun Wyn
:53:26. > :53:31.Jones could come on the bench, he would get some game time. Thank you
:53:31. > :53:36.very much, Gareth Llewellyn. Back to you, Jason.
:53:36. > :53:41.You got a ripple of applause! He deserves that.
:53:41. > :53:51.Great to see once again, Gareth. Time now to going to the Dionys'
:53:51. > :54:01.den. -- the Lions' den. It is the turn of Kingsley Jones.
:54:01. > :54:02.
:54:02. > :54:11.The here we go again, the lion's den. Last week, Phil Bennett. Mike
:54:11. > :54:21.Bennett at half. I remember him into 1008, totally Magners and.
:54:21. > :54:53.
:54:53. > :54:59.This selected this week, Kingsley In the boiler house: This time
:54:59. > :55:08.there is also some grey matter to consider. In the back row, this
:55:09. > :55:18.time, Justin is it so then, instead of all Brian. It is out more even
:55:18. > :55:24.spread. Ex-Irish, three Welsh and two Scots. Who is emerging as the
:55:24. > :55:32.captaincy favourite? Yes, who would be the captain? I think it would
:55:32. > :55:41.have to be Brian O'Driscoll. Right now, at this moment, I think Hogg
:55:41. > :55:50.has done fantastic for Scotland. He has scored some great tries and
:55:50. > :55:57.looked very solid. I think the team needs some youth. With sex than at
:55:57. > :56:04.10, everyone is picking him at 10. Hawaii why? Because he does not
:56:04. > :56:13.have any challenge. Every level he steps up to play, he makes it. One
:56:13. > :56:21.thing I will say they got right was the coach. I think he is a great
:56:21. > :56:26.coach, Farrell. There are no stars in the England team. They have got
:56:26. > :56:34.star quality. A think a lot of England players will go on the tour.
:56:34. > :56:41.I won to go back to the Six Nations. What do you think, Italy against
:56:41. > :56:48.Wales? Is that a potential banana skin? Of course it is. It is never
:56:48. > :56:53.an easy game. The Italians were fantastic against France in Rome
:56:53. > :57:01.and the dismal against Holland yesterday. What is your experience
:57:01. > :57:07.of Italy? They are not very good, to be honest. I think the game
:57:07. > :57:13.against France was their Cup final. I think Wales will go their full of
:57:13. > :57:18.confidence. Italy can be competitive for 45-50 minutes. But
:57:18. > :57:25.I am sure we will be all right. Clyde would words said yesterday
:57:25. > :57:35.that he won yesterday was a huge victory for Wales, one of their
:57:35. > :57:39.
:57:39. > :57:46.most important ever? Given the run that they were on I present? Going
:57:46. > :57:53.to Italy, I think Wales will go and win their quite easily. It is a
:57:53. > :57:57.tough challenge. I think the starter is always very important. I
