Six Nations Special Scrum V

It is round three of the Six Nations. England are the team to

beat. But the race for the championship is still on. At the

Stadio Olimpico, the heavens opened, it was a battleground made for the

big boys. But it was Wales who turned on a powerful stop and when

the damage was done, it was down to this man. -- but it was Wales who

turned on the power. A fine piece of finishing. That could well be

the clincher in Rome. Good evening and welcome to the

Scrum V Six Nations special. Three games gone, two away wins on the

bounce, and that match against Scotland will be extra tasty after

their win at Murrayfield against Ireland.

The broadsheets are talking of a potential Grand Slam win for

England, but Wales were victorious yesterday, helped by a classic try

could well be the clincher out here A great finish. Would you please

welcome our guests, Jonathan Davies, Kingsley Jones, Mr Llewellyn and

Welcome to the programme. Perhaps the noisiest crowd we have had this

season. They are a great audience. First of all, a round event --

around a pause for that performance yesterday. -- a round of applause

for that performance yesterday. For those of you watching be the

outstanding BBC sport coverage yesterday, you will know that this

man stepped into the breach when the main commentator was

inexplicably sick. Jonathan Davies came in and helped out and Shane

Williams came in as well. Talk us through what happened? He was

looking grey at the start of the show and said he had food poisoning.

10 minutes into the game he got up and walked away. I was like... Well,

what is going on? I asked the editor, what is going on? He is on

the toilet, throwing up. Great, just carry on! So they got hold of

Shane, and as he was walking on, the lady said, don't worry, there

are only 5 million listening! He hadn't done it before, neither had

died. It wasn't as seen circumstances but he sounded OK

today. -- it was unseen circumstances. What did you make of

the match? It was amazing, they destroyed the Italian set piece,

which they based their game on. Once they scored the first try the

confidence came back. I thought they would maybe score more tries

against them, but unfortunately on the back of a defeat it will take

time and the important things are just winning the games, they were

comfortable Willian -- comfortable winners yesterday. A hard-fought

win? Yes, and the weather is always worse than it looks on the

television. In games like that it is applying pressure through your

kicking game. Rob Howley identified that after Ireland. They won the

territorial battle yesterday, put pressure on the line at speed and

it paid dividends. Kingsley, given that Philippe Saint-Andre is a

personal friend of yours, what has happened to France? They played

well in the first 40 minutes and were probably the better side, but

they could not get the win. I hope that he gets a couple of wins,

because they look like they are battling for the wooden spoon,

which is not where you want to see your friend. It was difficult for

me when they were playing Yip -- playing Wales, but yesterday I

hoped that they would win. Ireland must be gutted. I have never team -

- seen a team with so much possession and territory be beaten

like that. Bad news for Wales that Scotland won, but they did what

they needed to. If you were an Irish player now you would be

devastated. They had opportunities. Keith else broke through but they

failed to capitalise. Especially after the way they started the Six

Nations. But firstly, highlights from the Stadio Olimpico. Your

commentators are Andrew Carter, Jonathan Davies, a Shane Williams,

Davies. You feel that Burton maybe penalty. I think there is a card.

Romain Poite has lost patience, and the Italian captain is off for 10

time he has come on as a replacement. A very good,

aggressive career of the ball. It is Wales' second try! That could

well be the clincher out here in Rome. Just watch, there is the

dummy run. Canale takes the wrong man. Just watch that. Canale goes

into Number 12, he takes Jonathan Davies, he should have drifted out

wide. But unfortunately it is a defensive error. When he hits the

line at speed, you will not stop footed. Masi was almost intercepted

by Cuthbert, the referee says it is points as a crowning glory on their

victory? That is the end, it is the second consecutive victory for

Wales, their 5th consecutive victory away from home in the

championship, which has not happened to whales since the late

Another win for Wales. Let's get the thoughts of Rob Howley and the

Games like that are about our muscles. We are not breaking first.

We made sure we had territory, the ball in the right areas. You come

to places like this, you build a win. Those early points in the

second half, superb, we pulled away in the end. It was a good

performance, especially up front. The boys worked really hard. We had

to make sure that we kept them down and put them in the right places.

The pack were on fire today. clinical second half, we took

opportunities. There were not always going to be opportunities,

probably the conditions suited Italy, but to be 26-nine winners, I

would have taken that at the Wales have secured four consecutive

away victories. That must be pleasing. It is a great attitude

away from home. Italy are a difficult side to play. If they had

chosen any conditions they would want, it would have been those on

Saturday. Did -- did it's surprising how dominant the Welsh

scrum was? Not at all. The boys worked really hard throughout the

week and it seemed to click on Saturday. It was nice for us backs.

You need to take away their scrum and the driving line-out. We stop

them at source which is crews -- crucial. At the moment, we are

playing winning rugby. Sometimes you have to adapt as we did against

Italy. We know how good Scotland are and they have some good

individual players. They have got players who can turn games. We feel

we have got the same but it's about making sure look play well. Are you

going to be man-of-the-match in every game? Our I just keep working

hard and do my job. He is the star of the Six Nations so far. Let's go

over to Sean Holly for the statistics. Two Quins front to a

handball -- both away from home. The defence again was magnificent.

Wales have now only conceded 15 points in the last 200 minutes of

play and no tries in that. It was a big kicking game. 75 kicks in

yesterday's game but Wales had a clear game-plan to pressurise the

Italian kickers. Take a look at the forward Sir putting pressure on

Kristopher Burton. They apply a lot of pressure and forced errors.

Gethin Jenkins chases them down and then a pressurises the scrum-half

and they get another turnover. This resulted in three points for Wales.

Justin Tipuric forcing Kristopher Burton to miss the drop goal. And

look at this determination from Gethin Jenkins. Italy are normally

tricky customers at the scrum but it was a great day at the office

for the Welsh front row. Adam Jones was world class. It forced Italy in

two Six penalties at the scrum. Usually, the Italians are

scrummager square but Andrea Lo Cicero and Martin Castrogiovanni

went individual. This split the second rows and they go down and

lose their purchase and watch where Wales finish up. Again, the

pressure told and Martin Castrogiovanni went right in on the

angle. Watch the Wales front row and how the scrum ends up. The

mantra is to go really square, leaving the referee no alternative.

The half-backs are doing their bit at the moment. Carrying and kicking

the ball very well. Dan Biggar is doing the things you don't usually

expect. He put Alex Cuthbert away in the first half. In the second

half he rescues his team with a try-saving tackle. When he puts the

ball in the air, watch him on the floor scavenging. He creates the

turnover and after the box kick Jonathan Davies gets his first try.

He then pulls Alex Cuthbert in and Alex Cuthbert seas that Kristopher

Burton is out of position and gets the final try to seal the game.

There are so many good aspects of the performance to pick through

with the guests. Jonathan Davies, what about the transformation of

Dan Biggar? I think he is settling in nicely. Yesterday suited his

game. He controlled the game and his kicking out of hand was good.

His distribution is good. When he played for Wales before, he came in

on a Friday night against Fiji with half the team missing. It was not

really fair on him. He is now getting used to the international

scene and it is a bit quicker. He got charged down against Ireland

but he had a really good game yesterday. A good kicking game in

dreadful conditions. He is slowly settling in. So much depends on the

pack. The Welsh pack were going forward yesterday and the Italian

outside half was under pressure all day. That makes a huge difference -

- defence to Dan Biggar's game. When you are kicking and putting

them under pressure, then they're going to struggle with their

lineouts and with the dominance of the scrum, it made it easier.

Tactic yesterday, Wales got it right at the scrum. They attacked

to the right, Adam Jones going out and he had the upper hand. Martin

Castrogiovanni is trying to chase in but because Wales are solid on

the engagement is allowed Gethin Jenkins or Paul James to come

straight through Martin Castrogiovanni. If Italy went

forward on the engagement it's easy for Martin Castrogiovanni.

Yesterday, Wales next that up. They attacked square, out through the

left. It was tactically the right plight and Italy did not have an

answer. They must have had a word about Martin Castrogiovanni's

technique but Adam Jones dominated. Wales seemed comfortable. A lot of

that is down to your scrum-half and 10. The game of management was good.

It was never going to be all- singing and dancing because the

weather was poor. Their tactic was to put high balls to Leigh

Halfpenny but I don't understand that because he is not a weak link.

It was nice to see Wales attacking the line. That move was a carbon

copy. There were two decoys with a Jonathan Davies and Jamie Roberts.

With the dominance of the scrum, the half backs can attack either

side and it takes the Italian back row was away from way you're going

to attack. Hopefully they will build against Scotland. It's going

to be very tough in Scotland. If they get the upper hand in the

scrum, I would like to see them to more and isolate Alex Cuthbert or

George North one-on-one it is a very tough tackle for the

opposition. Wales have not conceded a try for two matches. They have

obviously work done that. -- worked on that. They have won two away

matches. It is not up to the away team's to entertain. You have to go

there and win. To get two away wins on the bounce is no mean feat. The

weather played a major factor yesterday. The ball was not in play

for very long. The Italians like to keep it tight but Wales have

changed their game plan. I think Jonathan Davies scored with his

first touch. It was the turning- point of the game. If you look at

the defensive line speed, it's very good. They also get off the ground

quickly. The quicker they get off the ground back into position, the

tougher it is for the opposition to break them down. And every player

put pressure on Kristopher Burton. You knew the Italians were going to

bleed a kicking game as soon as they picked him. -- going to play.

They knew what the Italians are going to do by their selection. The

pressurised the half backs brilliantly. Talking about that

team spirit, when Martin Castrogiovanni got yellow-carded,

they got a penalty and what struck me was that every single player

run-up to Paul James and congratulated him. They have been

stung by some of the criticism they have had in the press. They have

got a bit of a siege mentality. Paul James did very well and

learned that yellow-card but it's a psychological thing as well. I

thought Paul James was tremendous yesterday. Italy were under

pressure when Gethin Jenkins was on the field but the Italians scrum

collapsed when Paul James come on. -- came on. Robert Howley has a

dilemma because both props played well. Gethin Jenkins was fantastic

yesterday but there's an argument for saying that Paul James should

start the game and then you bring on Gethin Jenkins. Let's find out

what our guest thinks of it. He I am joined by the former Wales prop,

Ben Evans. Do you agree with the assessment of the dynamics of the

scrum yesterday? I think Martin Castrogiovanni crucified and self.

It is about staying straight. He was just going off to the left and

he opened and self up. He kept doing the same thing. It was

obvious why he was getting penalised. Was it a surprise to you

how easy Wales made it look to destroy Italy in the scrum? Robin

McBryde said in the week they were going to target it. They did that.

The Italians are a bit of a one- trick pony. They only play well

when the scrum goes fantastic. They wear upon us down. But the Welsh

boys did great. Adam Jones was criticised after the French game

but he answered his critics yesterday. He was world class. It

was a world class performers. bring you some more action now from

the and the 20s and also action unavailable, the Ospreys were too

strong for Edinburgh. Morgan Allen crossed for two half tries to set

them on the road to victory. the Ospreys make the most of it.

Rhys Webb looking hungry. A great offload. The Ospreys have got the

ball down. Rhys Webb's close-range effort gave the Ospreys A Cushing

but the bonus point try eluded them. The Blues had never lost at home to

Connaught but the visitors had a dream start scoring twice in the

first five minutes. The home side fought back and took the lead when

the number 8 cantered home. The Blues secured a consolation bonus

point. The Scarlets were maul -- looking to move back into the play-

off places but it was never going to be easy against a team that had

won its last six matches. It was 11-five at half-time but three

second half tries by Leinster in the second half gave them the bonus

point when. It had been a difficult week for the Dragons following

their record defeat by Glasgow last weekend and when Zebre scored on

the stroke of half-time, it was not looking good. The visitors trailed

13-3 after the break but the well- worked try for Jevon Groves and

three penalties from Steffan Jones gave the Dragons a much needed win.

Ulster remain on top despite their defeat to Glasgow this again. The

Ospreys move the 4th and the Blues remain in 7th. The Dragons stay

congratulations to Ireland. On Friday, conditions were more

favourable for friend -- to Trench on. Daniel Thomas has a goal. Has

he got the ball down? Yes! It has taken Wales less than a minutes and

Lisa is with the coach and captain of the under 20s.

That was a really hard fought win in terrible conditions.

conditions were horrendous, we had a lot of rain, but we felt we had a

game-plan and we could put on some pressure. The Italians didn't seem

prepared at all, but your boys were really fired up. It was an area

where they tried to play a bit in the middle third. Then we had a

dominant scrum which gave us some advantage and a foothold in the

game. Captain, let's cut to the chase, the Grand Slam is on? We are

just focused on the next game. We play in Scotland a way, there was a

good results yesterday. A good result against England and Italy as

well, so we will focus on that game for the time being. Is there talk

amongst the boys about the possibility of a Grand Slam? No, we

are just focused on the Italy game. We are ready for the Scotland game.

Will it be tough from Scotland? They have had three good results,

they just lost to England and beat Italy quite comfortably. It will be

a tough game. Best of luck, fingers And good luck to the under 20s.

Back to the Six Nations, and you may already know that Rick O'Shea

has adopted England as his team. No need for that booing, they are a

very good side. Just accept it. We sent him to Twickenham yesterday

and he track down one of the famous English mass Gotts.

Last time, I met the folk from Avon mouth during my adopted nation's

win over the Irish. Now I have come to meet arguably the biggest

English fan. The closest Wales have to a mascot is the goat, and we

think he might have been retired. We have all seen this fellow on

television, it is him. Meet Mr England.

# Been meet -- bring me my bow of burning gold. I started off with

the Union Jack outfit, but I realised that was not quite right

for Twickenham. I was supporting England against Wales and the other

teams. So after about two years I made a saint George's cross out for

it. I got a phone call that following Sunday saying, would you

like to be the first ever official England mascot? I get two tickets,

which is brilliant. I am honoured to be doing what I am doing.

are your favourite fans in the Six Nations? I love the French, I have

a great camaraderie which Jean- Claude, we go around the stadium

together. The Welsh, to be honest, I get lots of grief. I get my hat

knocked off my head. Can you understand his desire to beat

England that we all have? -- This Desire? A game of rugby, you want

to win every game. It by as the boys up to feel that the team are

making a special effort just to beat the English -- it fires the

boys up. My England face a brand new France. Wesley Fofana in the

back. He was last seen wearing a Clermont shirt in January. Stand by

for the cliche. Which French team try! Execution by friends. -- by

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

to allow any comes away. -- manner shall we say, attritional. It was

shall we say, attritional. It was not pretty but England got better.

Their wagon is still on the road. Let's get reaction. Some incredible

substitutions by France. Incredible. Considering you change the team

because they were not performing, why bring them on? But that is the

madness of the French sometimes. Three games on the bounce now.

Three games on the bounce and we have Wales to come after its elite.

Where is John court? -- where is Jean-Claude? He is taking his kit

off! When England get to Cardiff, will they have played four and won

four? Italy are no pushover, so let's see. You know what they have

made me do in Scrum V, they have made me adopt England. Where is

your white and red? I was wearing its vast -- last week. You were

wearing blue, as in France? You really wanted the French to win?

could consider this bullying in the workplace, would you ever consider

adopting Wales? I pretty much have. Who wouldn't want to play with that

back line? There are 81,000 England fans here, I reckon you are the

most fanatical. Would you ever consider adopting the neighbours?

Would you ever take on Wales? How could I do that?! I admire you

Welsh and the Irish and all that, but when you are British and you

are proud, you have got medals on your chest comedy never take it

away. It has been an absolute pleasure to meet you, thank you for

your time. Take care, God bless. What have we learned? Peter cross

is almost certainly England's biggest fan, and a pretty good

bloke. You can get at their scrum on the field, the line-out can be a

bit shoddy, but they are winning and they keep on winning. It looks

like their bandwagon will roll all the way to Cardiff.

Rickey is a very good sport for adopting England. Really enjoying

those items, well done. What has happened to France? It is their

worst run in a Five Nations or Six Nations since 1958. I don't know

what the manager is thinking. He has made eight changes to the team.

They were in the ascendancy and then he brings on all the blokes

who lost two weeks before. It was ridiculous, they were playing

really well. Take off all the guys he has brought in to change the

game and bring in the blokes who lost. England made changes at 52

minutes and every bloke added to the game. I think he panicked and

so he took off Trinh-Duc, put Michalak on. He also took off para,

and they are the players that everybody wanted to see. -- Dickov

Morgan Parra. But England have a good pack. Given how well they

played in the autumn, if you have beaten the All Blacks and you are

taking on Wales and the rest of the teams who did not have such a good

autumn, you would expect them to being a Grand Slam position?

Picking up on was Gareth Owen Thomas said, international rugby is

not about 15 players, you guys know that. England are in a position

that they are bringing on players as good as or keeping the team

fresh, Courtney Lawes starting this week, keeping people hungry. You

need to be able to make those substitutions. I don't know what's

Saint-Andre was thinking. But if you guys -- has those guys on the

bench, he must be confident and putting them on the field. He has

criticised the French team for not being fit. The League would suggest

that. The guys are big, heavy and slow. He needs to be able to use

his bench. Whether those seven players on the bench are the next

seven best in France, Gareth is bang on the money, he needs to have

the confidence to bring them on. Michalak has been dreadful, but he

was brilliant in the autumn, he was magical. But he has really

struggled. Fofana played brilliantly, they have the

combination wrong at nine and 10. But for England, you can see the

influence of Farrell coming through, they are running in pairs. Thief

everybody wants to take the ball. They are hitting the ball at speed

right on the gain-line and playing with the loss of confidence. I

think Italy have blown their season to pieces. I think they will be to

Italy and then come to Cardiff. Let's look at Wales' next opponents.

This afternoon, they took on great headway. That was a little

long way as stray. Good girl, -- good goal, his first points in

international rugby. The first points in this match, richly

the first half come in the second? Scotland are defending desperately.

Gilroy got it down. Craig Gilroy has the score for Ireland. It comes

eventually and quickly in the advantage. Just checking to see if

you still have the advantage. Kelly Brown almost got there. He thinks

Scotland lead 9-8 at Murrayfield. Deep inside the in-goal area. The

kick is good. Stuart Hogg. For his 4th of the day. That is through the

middle and Scotland are four points This is how the six nations table

looks. England are on course for the Grand Slam. Wales and Scotland

behind them and they play each other next. For Wales, it is

Scotland next. How on earth Ireland didn't beat Scotland today, but

they weren't clinical enough. There seems to be an opportunity a full

Wales in the 10 and 12 area. -- opportunity for Wales. If we can

use some decoy runners, we might be able to get through with the likes

of Alex Cuthbert. A poor Mr tackle and Greg Laidlaw doesn't get there.

There are surely opportunities for Wales. Scott Johnson knows the

players and the coaches. There will be some a mind games this week.

With Alun Wyn Jones coming off the bench, Sam Warburton coming on

quite early and Ryan Jones off with 15 minutes to go, who weighs you

pick for Scotland in two weeks' time? -- who would you. I think you

pick the team you think will start its England. It looks as if Paul

James will start because Gethin Jenkins has a calf in history -- in

-- injury. We have the match Scotland physically. I think the

backs will stay the same. If we don't do it and it doesn't go right

against Scotland, we have to make changes. Waders Sam Warburton play?

I would play him instead of Justin Tipuric and Bryn Justin Tipuric

when the game breaks up. It is going to be a dogfight in the first

half against England soak get Sam Warburton on and Alun Wyn Jones on.

I disagree. I think Alun Wyn Jones is a world class player. I think

Ryan Jones brings a lot of the team. He was the top hat a yesterday.

often watched the game and he is not running 70 metres but the

amount of work Ryan Jones gets through is a lot. I am a massive

fan of Sam Warburton but Justin Tipuric is not doing anything wrong.

He is one of the fittest players we have. He steals balls and steps him.

But Sam Warburton can do the same thing. I thought Paul James was

immense yesterday. If we can get that formal -- forward dominance.

If you look at the statistics, it is ridiculous. You would out-

thought Ireland would have won by 25 points. The Scottish defence was

OK but if any of the side had that amount of ball against Scotland,

Scotland will lose. Scotland have to keep ball because if Wales have

that amount of ball and territory they will win. If they can dominate

the scrum and bring the wingers in, I think Wales will win.

Scottish back row played well today. I don't think by making changes, I

don't think it is negative. It is just giving you a chance for the

week after. We went eight games without a win and I don't see the

point in tinkering too much with a team that is winning. Possibly Alun

Wyn Jones should play. You have to make brave decisions. But you have

world class players on the bench. These are the 15 that have won the

last two games. Whichever side he picks, they have to look at the

line breaks that Luke Marshall made. There is a clear weakness in the

Scottish midfield. Sean Lamont is a winger and if you isolate him, he

does not know where to go. It is very difficult coming from a wing

and going to play in a very defensive position in the centre.

If they target him with a dummy runners, I think they will cut them.

They have to dominate the set piece. The Scottish scrum was good today.

They have got some steel in the pack and their line-out is

exceptional. Their line-out on your ball is exceptional as well. We

have to make sure our line out is good. They are winning games as

well. Before, they were losing them. The one area that Rob Howley needs

to address his the line-out. It was a bit shaky. It looks as if it was

a premeditated decision to go along. It was tough on Richard Hibbard.

Let's find out what Ben Evans thinks. Should we be preparing with

a view to winning points because it's going to be a showdown against

England and it's about points. won't be a showdown unless we win

in Scotland. We cannot take our eye off the Scotland game. I've played

up there and got beaten. The Scottish will not lie down. You

have to make the England game a showdown by beating Scotland.

aspect of Scotland's game should be looking out for? They never lie

down. They have assured their scrum that. -- they have strengthened

their scrum and we cannot underestimate them. If Gethin

Jenkins is not fit, then Paul James is a more destructive scrummager.

It is now time to go into the Lions den and play selective. Last time

out it was Kingsley Jones goal was our man in the den but this week it

is the man sitting next to him. is the Lions den once again. Last

week's select the Kingsley Jones gave a first chance for a couple of

Scots including at fullback Stuart Hogg. Selecting this week, the

legendary John of the look at this for a change in the back three.

Tommy Bowe comes in and no Leigh Halfpenny. Jonathan Davies never

went on a Lions tour so he picked Jonathan Davies for this one

alongside Brian O'Driscoll. At half-back, Jonathan Sexton comes

back in and is partnered by Danny Care. In the back row, Justin

Tipuric and Chris Robshaw and Toby Faletau. In the boiler house, Alun

Wyn Jones wins his place back from Richie Gray. As for the front row,

it is the same a best two mates to partner the Ulster hooker. That is

the team. Six Welsh cover five Irish, three English and one Scott

and no Leigh Halfpenny. The crowd did not like that. No Leigh

Halfpenny. That is a controversial decision. I'm glad I picked him

last week. Next week, I will pick up 15 Welsh players! I just feel

that Leigh Halfpenny has been amazing but for me Stuart Hogg

gives them an advantage attacking wise. He has got pace and he adds a

bit extra in attack. I think Tommy Bowe is class. Manu Tuilagi has

been brilliant but Brian O'Driscoll is brilliant as well. England have

got two very good scrum halves. Mike Phillips played very well

yesterday but Kenyans and Danny Care are very good. Danny Care has

scored some brilliant tries for Harlequins. Adam Jones and Alun Wyn

Jones are world class. Toby Faletau has been our main ball carrier.

Chris Robshaw has had to man of the match performances and plays like a

Blindside flanker. Is he big enough? If you pick a big front

five ins to Australia, you have the opportunity of having a fast back

row. It's going to change next week. I was talking to Rob Howley after

the game yesterday and he would not be drawn on any Lions selections. I

said Leigh Halfpenny has got to go. Is there anybody guaranteed to go

right now? I think George North is on the plane. It is still early

days though. Alun Wyn Jones is playing now. He was not playing

last week. There is a long way to go and they are very few players

that will be mailed on on the plane. I think Owen Farrell has been

outstanding for England. Owen Farrell and Jonathan Sexton are the

clear front-runners for the number 10. Who would you pick as captain?

It has to be somebody who is sure of his Test place. Chris Robshaw is

not a bad argument. Do you have the name you are captain before you go

out? -- your captain. It is a lot of pressure to put on one player.

think he will have an idea of his Test team before he goes. Brian

O'Driscoll can play 12 or 13. It is going to be very tough to pick the

captain. Let's go back to Scotland. Do you fancy Wales at their? If we

keep improving and keep building, they will offer what Italy offered.

They are always good in the set piece. I think we have to worry a

bit more about their backs because Scott Johnson is a very good coach.

He did wonders with the Welsh back line and I'm sure there will have a

few surprises. Would you please join me in thanking Kingsley Jones,

Jonathan Davies, Gareth Llewellyn and Tom Shanklin. We also have
