:00:32. > :00:36.the summer, they lost their mojo down under. Playing three, lost

:00:58. > :01:03.all finished with a sickening dose Hello, good evening and welcome to

:01:49. > :01:57.And then to Drew Mitchell. But that won't do. It won't do priest and's
:01:57. > :02:07.confidence any good. No. Priestland's confidence. He will be
:02:07. > :02:10.cursing now because that was a very unpopular one to be put away. Two
:02:10. > :02:20.people carry into the miss and there you are. No excuse missing
:02:20. > :02:35.
:02:35. > :02:39.way! And he has the pace to go past one... Then on the outside and in
:02:39. > :02:49.touch but that will get the crowd going, that will get a player is
:02:49. > :02:54.going! You are absolutely right. A tremendously brave piece of play.
:02:54. > :03:04.But some naivety in the end. Because Australia were all over the
:03:04. > :03:21.
:03:21. > :03:31.of numbers on the far side but now we are back into the more open

:09:09. > :09:18.variations of Rhys Priestland today. Far better than we think we have
:09:18. > :09:28.seen him recently. And this is Mike Phillips. Into the midfield. Good,

:09:49. > :09:59.three out of four and we are all couldn't find touch last week and
:09:59. > :10:18.

:13:12. > :13:12.
:13:12. > :13:16.Just really hard. Disappointment with the last minute. They turned
:13:16. > :13:22.over from the line and then we had a scrum and they never should have
:13:22. > :13:28.got out of there. You have just got to take your risk and allow them to
:13:28. > :13:33.get 30, 40 metres up the touchline. We got too narrow and unfortunately
:13:33. > :13:37.they got the try. Devastated. Because that defence was
:13:37. > :13:44.outstanding through the period. Butter unfortunately, at the last
:13:44. > :13:48.scrum I thought it was too passive or stop -- but unfortunately. I
:13:48. > :13:52.thought we should have been up there blitzing, but in Australia
:13:52. > :13:56.under more pressure because the fellows have been absolutely
:13:56. > :14:00.magnificent through the 78 minutes up to that point. Credit to the
:14:00. > :14:05.lads, you know. They kept looking for a way to get through.
:14:05. > :14:08.Unfortunately, we did not find it on the day. I have got the utmost
:14:08. > :14:13.admiration for them just been in the game in the end, to be frank.
:14:13. > :14:18.And they deserve a break. They have got that coming so they're pretty
:14:18. > :14:24.excited about that. Same old story. We had a golden opportunity there...
:14:24. > :14:29.And we have blown it. Credit Australia. Certainly defensively we
:14:29. > :14:33.just switch off. Especially in the last minute, and it has cost us the
:14:33. > :14:38.Test Match century and what was a very important game. Probably the
:14:38. > :14:45.hardest to feed. Hardest I have had to take in my career. -- hardest
:14:45. > :14:48.defeat. We turned up four weeks in a row and it has been a tough time
:14:48. > :14:53.for the fans as well as the players, the families. We fell like it was
:14:53. > :15:03.the day to get a win. It would have been a great weight when the
:15:03. > :15:05.
:15:05. > :15:09.Leigh Halfpenny was Cattistock -- discharged from hospital this
:15:09. > :15:18.morning. Very relieved to say he has not suffered any serious
:15:18. > :15:22.injuries. Before we get stuck into yesterday's game, let us put that
:15:22. > :15:27.to feed into context. That loss to feed into context. That loss
:15:27. > :15:31.means Wales are ninth in the world rankings. That means they will be
:15:31. > :15:37.in the third here of seeds alongside Scotland, and the draw
:15:37. > :15:43.alongside Scotland, and the draw takes place tomorrow at 3pm. The
:15:43. > :15:52.fact is, hypothetically, Wales can now be in a poor with England and
:15:52. > :15:57.New Zealand. A nightmare scenario? You, it is. But now all, they find
:15:57. > :16:06.themselves in ninth, and the nightmare scenario. To put into
:16:06. > :16:13.perspective, it is still three years away. But it is disappointing
:16:13. > :16:18.to finish in that second tie-up. The irony is, at this did not need
:16:18. > :16:27.to be staged. Have not played a comic we would be safely in the top
:16:27. > :16:34.eight! Yes, but that is by the by. We know the ramifications. The
:16:34. > :16:39.bottom line is we get to where we get. We could get Samoa-Argentina.
:16:39. > :16:45.The worry is if we play England. Let us move on to the game. As we
:16:45. > :16:52.have seen so many times before, a last gasp victory against the
:16:52. > :16:57.Wallabies becoming our nemesis. What the autumn international
:16:57. > :17:02.series has done, especially the first two games, it has drained us
:17:02. > :17:06.all of self-confidence, self-belief, that we gained during the World Cup.
:17:06. > :17:12.It was enhanced during the Six It was enhanced during the Six
:17:12. > :17:18.Nations. We had to two minutes to go. We got Australia exacted by we
:17:18. > :17:24.wanted them. Five metres from their own line. Our defensive line is
:17:24. > :17:29.poor, certainly the pressure we put on Australia is poor. We gave them
:17:29. > :17:39.a 30 meet her opportunity to gain momentum. We turned the ball over,
:17:39. > :17:39.
:17:39. > :17:43.46 seconds to go. It is not a bad kick, but 46 seconds is an
:17:43. > :17:50.opportunity we should be able to keep the ball. We did against
:17:50. > :17:54.Ireland last year. But ultimately, kicking the ball away has given
:17:54. > :17:56.Australia the opportunity to score the try, the winning try. There
:17:56. > :18:02.the try, the winning try. There were a number of opportunities we
:18:02. > :18:06.did not take, and you can talk about naivety and composure. It is
:18:06. > :18:11.just a lack of confidence. We were panicking in those last couple of
:18:11. > :18:15.minutes, when we should have sat back, looked at where we were and
:18:15. > :18:21.how old were needed to pen them into that 22 metre area. We have
:18:21. > :18:27.talked about some of Wales's deficiencies. Failure to take
:18:27. > :18:34.opportunities has been chief. We scored three Chas -- tries in total
:18:34. > :18:40.as opposed to 10. One was an interception try, and the other was
:18:40. > :18:44.five metres out. We have had a game-plan there has been effective.
:18:44. > :18:48.It has been effective because there has been physical and wearing down
:18:48. > :18:52.opponents, but it has taken its opponents, but it has taken its
:18:52. > :18:59.toll. I had a little look at the footage from yesterday. Our
:18:59. > :19:05.forwards do not seem to pass. The outside backs are not interested.
:19:05. > :19:15.Three or four Welsh guys. Daborn time and time again. It was nice to
:19:15. > :19:15.
:19:15. > :19:25.see, from be sidelined. A good, flat ball, all those gold shirts
:19:25. > :19:29.that out, isolating two defenders at the top. The body language of
:19:30. > :19:39.Rhys Priestland says that his one chance gone. We are pulling it back
:19:39. > :19:43.and a very deep. We go back inside. Defences are getting a key. We need
:19:43. > :19:51.to exhaust the width of the field, going down this corridor. But again,
:19:51. > :19:55.the shirts are in place and they do not commit any defenders. Too often,
:19:55. > :20:01.the forwards get smashed by the southern hemisphere. Look where
:20:01. > :20:06.this ends up. Here, pretty much of our players in this area. Lacking
:20:06. > :20:11.in confidence. We do not really have a platform. We lost six line-
:20:11. > :20:17.outs yesterday, but we are also lacking in territory stats. We
:20:18. > :20:25.don't win the ball. Credit to Rhys Priestland - chastise last week,
:20:25. > :20:28.but he makes said. Nice and director. This is what we are used
:20:28. > :20:34.director. This is what we are used to seeing. Get us into the
:20:34. > :20:39.territory and get suss the penalty. Ending on positive - plenty more
:20:39. > :20:44.positive to be drawn. We could be talking about to victory against
:20:44. > :20:47.the second best side in the world. I think so. We should have won the
:20:47. > :20:53.I think so. We should have won the game. The effort is tremendous. We
:20:53. > :20:59.have raised the game. What was pleasing to see was some heads up
:20:59. > :21:07.rugby being played. There you go. They identified the Australian
:21:07. > :21:10.defence was really tight. Halfpenny cut same, and away we go. Rhys
:21:10. > :21:15.Priestland playing heads up. They have done their homework on the
:21:15. > :21:18.Aussies, and get going forward again. Good to see Priestland,
:21:18. > :21:26.again. Good to see Priestland, passing the ball, put in the likes
:21:26. > :21:32.of Cup bird in his place. We can play well, we have good players.
:21:32. > :21:37.But all of those attacks are from very deep. There is a lot more
:21:38. > :21:43.variety to a game than in previous games. We are easily read. In the
:21:43. > :21:49.first two tier -- games, the sides did their homework. But there was a
:21:49. > :21:53.change. As a result, we created more. We perhaps kicked a bit too
:21:53. > :21:59.much ball away, but certainly, in terms of where we were, and where
:21:59. > :22:05.we ended up, fast difference. talked about positives. One a
:22:05. > :22:10.shining beacon, man of the match, Leigh Halfpenny. He has been
:22:10. > :22:14.fantastic, hasn't he? Are probably the smallest man and the Welsh side.
:22:14. > :22:22.the smallest man and the Welsh side. His goal-kicking is exceptional.
:22:22. > :22:26.But it is his desire and commitment. His commitment to the bread at
:22:26. > :22:30.Jersey is second to none. His desire to do his best for his
:22:30. > :22:34.country, every time he puts on that red jersey, not the best of tackle
:22:34. > :22:38.red jersey, not the best of tackle techniques. They ended up going to
:22:38. > :22:43.hospital as a result, but no one has done more for Wales in terms of
:22:43. > :22:53.commitment. And there are guys twice his size who had that same
:22:53. > :22:53.
:22:53. > :22:59.desire commitment would have won. nasty injury, as we mentioned. But
:22:59. > :23:05.Wales have been ravaged by injuries. The positive is that they can step
:23:05. > :23:11.up and make an impact. Who has taken it? It has been well
:23:11. > :23:19.publicised. Two boys and - Scott Andrews and Liam Williams have been
:23:19. > :23:21.outstanding. Just a few clips. He is one of the few forwards
:23:21. > :23:28.is one of the few forwards comfortable with the ball in his
:23:28. > :23:33.hands. Just by fixing the defender there, look how quickest bowlers.
:23:33. > :23:38.He brought a different dimension yesterday. His anticipation is top
:23:38. > :23:43.drawer as well. Yesterday, his scrum was good. And Liam Williams
:23:43. > :23:46.is fast becoming a cult hero in Wales. He is playing on the left-
:23:46. > :23:56.wing, total disregard for his own wing, total disregard for his own
:23:56. > :24:06.safety, emigrate kicker. He is more old-school rugby player. He has
:24:06. > :24:10.been brilliant. He is fast becoming a favourite. As a player who has
:24:10. > :24:16.left this environment, six times we have played Australia in the last
:24:16. > :24:20.13 months. The last three have been lost by an aggregate of five points,
:24:20. > :24:26.showing there is nothing to choose between Wales and Australia. Is at
:24:26. > :24:34.a mental thing? I do not think it is a mental stumbling block. I
:24:34. > :24:42.think it is just Shaun Edwards spoke about it, decision making.
:24:42. > :24:48.Still a young side. You have got to give credit to Australia - they
:24:48. > :24:58.still believe they can win the game. We have done a in the Six Nations
:24:58. > :25:04.to other side, England and Ireland in particular. We need to be given
:25:04. > :25:10.a lesson at around the tackle area. Those players make good decisions.
:25:10. > :25:15.They do not commit too much. We seem to over commit. Big lessons to
:25:15. > :25:24.learn there. If you thought there was drama at the Millennium Stadium,
:25:25. > :25:29.it was nothing compared to what was England have not be to New Zealand
:25:29. > :25:37.for almost a decade, and after a disappointing autumn a victory
:25:37. > :25:44.looked unlikely. The All Blacks had enjoyed a 20 match winning streak.
:25:44. > :25:46.Owen Farrell gave the home team a 15 point cushion. But the All
:25:46. > :25:56.15 point cushion. But the All Blacks are not a team who give up
:25:56. > :26:21.
:26:21. > :26:25.Blacks side if you missed it tackles, but Cory Jane is is still
:26:26. > :26:35.going. And the second a try for the All Blacks. It is Kieran Read to

:26:36. > :27:47.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 97 seconds
:27:47. > :27:50.Similarly powerful Figo on the victory for England. This tour for
:27:50. > :27:56.New Zealand was not supposed to end this way, but what a victory for
:27:56. > :28:06.England! Perhaps, the greatest win for England in recent times because

:28:13. > :28:18.Her no one saw that coming. How did England do that? They squeezed it.
:28:18. > :28:25.They are provided Ilott of forwards, they were very physical with the
:28:25. > :28:33.All Blacks. England have a set piece. Owen Farrell kicked his
:28:33. > :28:42.goals, took his opportunities, very Jonny Wilkinson like. The chariot
:28:42. > :28:48.kept rolling! Obviously, a long, hard year for the All Blacks. But a
:28:48. > :28:56.great win. Prior to this, people were saying this All Blacks side is
:28:56. > :29:00.the best side in the world. Do they need to reassess that? England were
:29:00. > :29:06.outstanding, in fairness. It gives everybody a little bit of hope that
:29:06. > :29:10.we are not so far behind. The Welsh boys know they can beat England.
:29:10. > :29:17.does this mean that England and other favourites for the Six
:29:17. > :29:21.Nations? You need to put France up there as well. The autumn has shown
:29:21. > :29:24.how strong the northern hemisphere can be - France, very good
:29:24. > :29:31.victories against Australia. England have built up slowly to
:29:31. > :29:35.their victory. Ireland as well. They beat Argentina comfortably.
:29:35. > :29:39.Three sides there playing particularly well. France, not just
:29:39. > :29:44.about their international side, it is their club side as well. Home
:29:44. > :29:54.and Away, slightly different to the past. France will be the site to

:30:30. > :30:38.from James King. In trouble a couple of times in the first half
:30:38. > :30:45.and he has made way for the Frenchman. He looked as though he

:34:01. > :34:11.building the Millennium Stadium finally telling on the professional
:34:11. > :34:15.game in Wales? It turned into a turbulent November outside and in.
:34:15. > :34:20.Argentina arrived as the newcomers to the Rugby Championship. And
:34:20. > :34:26.suddenly the heady days of Wales at the World Cup and glory days of the
:34:26. > :34:30.Grand Slam in the Six Nations were distant memories. A second problem
:34:30. > :34:33.with the Millennium Stadium. It is not so much an impregnable fortress
:34:33. > :34:42.as a theme park. Everybody loves coming here, to play and have a
:34:42. > :34:45.good time. The Argentinians certainly did. And Samoa did. It
:34:45. > :34:51.wasn't the first time they had enjoyed themselves in Cardiff. But
:34:51. > :34:55.never before had these devils of direct action and open played found
:34:55. > :35:00.themselves so Supreme at the set- piece. They knocked Wales about in
:35:00. > :35:06.usual places and, as usual, not always in the best possible taste.
:35:06. > :35:10.But they also knocked them backwards here. Which really hurt.
:35:10. > :35:15.Some are, like Argentina, picked from players scattered around the
:35:15. > :35:18.world. Wales want to keep Welsh players close to home. This was a
:35:18. > :35:23.victory, a second victory, for teams who have adapted to the
:35:23. > :35:27.global spread. The global spread of their players. At least the All
:35:27. > :35:34.Blacks insist on picking players based in New Zealand. Some of her
:35:34. > :35:39.new rituals retain their charm. But it seems the last line may have
:35:39. > :35:42.wound up their warriors a bit too tight. Slit throat here and it is
:35:43. > :35:46.not surprising you are maybe clubbing out seconds later. Another
:35:46. > :35:50.side to the All Blacks and when they are playing like this, there
:35:50. > :35:54.is no other side to the game. Give them an inch and they will take the
:35:54. > :36:00.rest of the field. Give them a gap and they will crowbar your heart
:36:00. > :36:05.out. New Zealand's intentions - crystal-clear. Wales'' - blurred,
:36:05. > :36:11.imprecise. It was a pain for autumn. But in the deepest reaches of the
:36:11. > :36:16.gloom, a light flickered. A giant line-out formed, a second try was
:36:16. > :36:20.engineered, patiently, inventively. And if the Messiah had not exactly
:36:20. > :36:24.been able to perform a miracle, then at least there was hope that
:36:24. > :36:30.the dam, horrid month of November might lead to a December day to
:36:30. > :36:34.remember. -- the damp. For a glorious moment it seemed it might
:36:34. > :36:41.be. The Cuthbert breakout, like the Escape from Alcatraz! Prisoner
:36:41. > :36:47.caught! Might it be a... Might it be! Not by that kicking. But then
:36:47. > :36:51.by this. Wales was in front and defending fall they were. But here
:36:51. > :36:59.we come back to the question - under our great roof, what are we
:36:59. > :37:04.worth? We are in pain on the field. On the floor. We are in pain,
:37:04. > :37:10.relegated to the third tier of the World games. We are in financial
:37:10. > :37:14.pain. Where are you now, Grand Slam days, the great blue skies of
:37:14. > :37:23.achievements past? On the other side of the sacred roof over our
:37:23. > :37:27.Well, that was Warren Gatland's last game for Wales before he does
:37:27. > :37:31.full-time with the Lions. You know him well. After the manner of that
:37:31. > :37:35.defeat and we talked about them until he Cup at the end of the game,
:37:35. > :37:38.will he show any loyalty to his Welsh players, given that the
:37:38. > :37:41.opponents for the Lions are Australia? I do not think it is a
:37:41. > :37:48.case of loyalty. He has a job for the Lions and he was picked purely
:37:48. > :37:53.on form. You look at Six Nations, I don't know if it will be failure,
:37:53. > :37:57.relevant. On his track record he has been brilliant of his career in
:37:57. > :38:02.a short space of time, getting the good players to peak. Do that and
:38:02. > :38:05.everything will be forgotten. He will make sure he has got a squad
:38:06. > :38:10.that will become the first Test. So he will not look at nationalities,
:38:10. > :38:14.you would just pick the squad that does the job and Australia. So, the
:38:14. > :38:17.reins now passed for the Six Nations. I don't know what it is
:38:17. > :38:20.about Wales but when it is a Welshman in charge, the knives seem
:38:20. > :38:26.to come up quicker when they hit a troubled patch. It could be a
:38:26. > :38:30.turbulent tournament? He has come under pressure in the first couple
:38:30. > :38:35.of games with the finger-pointing. You have got to understand, or
:38:35. > :38:43.remember, that Rob has been number two, a totally different role to
:38:43. > :38:50.the number one, where you have all the responsibility. Taking on that
:38:50. > :38:56.extra responsibility is a tough job. And he has found it hard, you know,
:38:56. > :39:00.so far. He has to be given the Six Nations. For his own development
:39:00. > :39:03.and also for the Welsh Rugby Union, to see whether he has the right man
:39:03. > :39:10.to take the reins when Warren Gatland steps down. Only time will
:39:10. > :39:15.tell. I think from that, a decision by the union can be, yes, we are
:39:15. > :39:19.happy, we know we have the right of man. Or secondly, do we scour the
:39:19. > :39:22.world for the next right man in charge? Even you have been a world
:39:22. > :39:28.number one so you know what it is like in terms of delegating.
:39:28. > :39:33.will that differ from how he has been up till now? Of this year of
:39:33. > :39:38.the summer tour and the first two games as number one. It depends on
:39:38. > :39:42.the individual. He is a very hands- on coach, Rob. A young coach. I
:39:42. > :39:46.would imagine he would want to continue that way, whereas Warren
:39:46. > :39:50.is more of an elder statesman, a delegate from the back. So will be
:39:50. > :39:55.interesting to see if he brings in somebody has to help of. I think
:39:55. > :39:58.Jenkins has a good coach now. He could push forward and assume a bit
:39:58. > :40:02.more responsibility, allowing Rob to have a bit more of a head coach
:40:02. > :40:06.role. So what is difficult because he is a hands-on coach and the make
:40:06. > :40:10.of that team will now be down to his responsibility. You know him
:40:10. > :40:16.very well, Martyn. As a friend and coach. Will he find it an easy
:40:16. > :40:20.thing to do, to step back and take more of an overseeing role?
:40:20. > :40:25.might not find it easy but it will be the best thing for him. As we
:40:25. > :40:28.said earlier, you have so much to deal with, the press, all kinds of
:40:28. > :40:34.angles coming in. And it is difficult to do that and
:40:34. > :40:41.concentrate on the back row as well. Neil Jenkins has a lot of influence
:40:41. > :40:48.with the backs, so I think he can help Rob or Bob can take a backward
:40:48. > :40:51.step and give Neil more responsibility. The only way we can
:40:51. > :40:55.find out is to give him more opportunities. We have to do
:40:55. > :40:59.exactly what the boys said - give him more support underneath so we
:40:59. > :41:03.can step back and oversea and delegate, and then put in place
:41:03. > :41:07.what he wants. I think we have got to give him that opportunity.
:41:07. > :41:11.he need to change things? Because the thinking was that over the
:41:11. > :41:17.first two tests there was still there Gatland blueprint with
:41:17. > :41:23.tactics not changing much. Does he need to implement changes now?
:41:23. > :41:27.is a tough one because clearly this autumn it hasn't really work but it
:41:27. > :41:31.has worked in the past. And forget, we have some top players coming
:41:31. > :41:36.back fresh from injury and rehabilitation after the Six
:41:36. > :41:41.Nations. It is fair to say we look a bit jaded. The structure of the
:41:41. > :41:44.northern hemisphere season has taken its toll, mentally and
:41:44. > :41:48.physically, with the fatigue. They will come back fresh later and we
:41:48. > :41:52.will see a different outlook and the Six Nations, I am pretty sure
:41:52. > :41:56.of that. And you for your company and thank you to you for watching
:41:56. > :42:01.as well. The news from the World Cup draw takes place tomorrow,
:42:02. > :42:05.remember. You will be able to tune into your radio station to find out
:42:05. > :42:14.why Wales ends up. They went into the autumn series Hogan to break
:42:14. > :42:24.into the world's top four but they end up a third tier nation. --
:42:24. > :42:26.
:42:26. > :42:30.The time has come for a long trip back, but, by crikey, what a state
:42:30. > :42:38.it has been! You have been beaten black and blue this month! A real
:42:38. > :42:44.late-night horror! Was Pumas kept clear, I finally got here. I could
:42:44. > :42:50.sense a real state of panic. The following Friday, we smashed and
:42:50. > :42:55.your castle, and rather than Dodge, we stood there like 15 red statues.
:42:55. > :43:05.The old heads wondering, how could this happen? On Monday a deep
:43:05. > :43:09.public funk. So I spoke to a few of the team and realised there was a
:43:09. > :43:14.lack of self-confidence. We stood him black, gave it a crack, played
:43:14. > :43:24.the points on offer. And there lay the answer, don't stand and stare,
:43:24. > :43:26.
:43:26. > :43:30.hit back hard. Cardiff, I love you, and G, what a party. The march to
:43:30. > :43:36.2015 now begins. But he must try and not faltered. Artifice does to
:43:36. > :43:41.get dark and you can't see the grave, call me and I will return of
