:00:24. > :00:36.When Judgment Day arrived, Cardiff Blues delivered. A first win over
:00:37. > :00:44.Ospreys the seven years and an 11 game losing run brought to an end.
:00:45. > :00:49.Now they need to keep on winning with a European play-off on the
:00:50. > :00:55.horizon and the Wales summer tour to look forward to. The contenders have
:00:56. > :00:58.two more editions left to stake their claims. Plenty of individuals
:00:59. > :01:03.with points to prove tonight, not least that man, Ellis Jenkins, man
:01:04. > :01:08.of the match a fortnight ago when captain tonight. One of the Williams
:01:09. > :01:15.boys might want to play itself into the South Pacific Marley Williams
:01:16. > :01:19.and Tomos Williams both starting. The Blues already guaranteed
:01:20. > :01:22.themselves a European play-off spot. Their eventual finishing place in
:01:23. > :01:27.the Pro12 will determine whether they face a French or English side
:01:28. > :01:30.in that semifinal play-off. Zebra can still qualify automatically for
:01:31. > :01:38.the Champions Cup if they finish above their Italian rivals, Treviso.
:01:39. > :01:45.Good evening and Bob McAdoo scrum five live from Cardiff Arms Park.
:01:46. > :01:49.Sean, you and I watch that Judgment Day game between Blues boss was a
:01:50. > :01:52.fortnight ago. All of the sensible money was on Ospreys leading into
:01:53. > :01:57.it, but the Blues just blew them away. Say what you like about
:01:58. > :02:00.Ospreys, the Blues were brilliant on the day. They outplayed them in
:02:01. > :02:06.every department, they were outplayed and out coached, the
:02:07. > :02:10.Ospreys. It was Judgment Day. We praise that defence for the way they
:02:11. > :02:16.shackled the Ospreys, but the attack was firing on all cylinders. Yes, it
:02:17. > :02:22.was tactically very well thought out. Holding up the ball carrier,
:02:23. > :02:25.they won the battle of the hide, they went to hit the floor as early
:02:26. > :02:32.as a good and got the ball carrier quickly. They did this in phase
:02:33. > :02:36.after days. Look at the height that Jenkins gets. Again, building those
:02:37. > :02:41.phases. I criticise the Blues for not being in the 22 this season.
:02:42. > :02:44.They were, on this occasion. And the other thing they got their best
:02:45. > :02:48.ball-carriers in the game, Alex Cuthbert were superb, they targeted
:02:49. > :02:51.Sam Davies and they got big Nick Williams over the line. They will
:02:52. > :03:03.need to do this more tonight because they will have ample opportunity
:03:04. > :03:09.against their opponents. Any number of contenders could make that summer
:03:10. > :03:19.water or not least the man who has been entrusted with the captaincy
:03:20. > :03:25.tonight. This guy, Ellis Jenkins, 28 tackles out of 28, on the ball all
:03:26. > :03:29.day. These two in the last ten minutes, and the 75th minute he gets
:03:30. > :03:37.back and stops a potent Ospreys counterattack from the turnover.
:03:38. > :03:41.This, even better. This kick, the tenacity and anticipation to see the
:03:42. > :03:45.danger to stop it going under the posts. He's quite a player, Ellis
:03:46. > :03:51.Jenkins, one of a number of great number seven is all vying for a
:03:52. > :03:55.place in that Wales summer tour, and he could be a pivotal figure this
:03:56. > :03:58.evening. Zebre come here knowing what it is like to win at Cardiff
:03:59. > :04:02.Arms Park. They have done it once before so the Blues will be wary of
:04:03. > :04:06.them if they can recover anything like the form they showed a
:04:07. > :04:12.fortnight ago, there will only be one winner here tonight. Paul Holley
:04:13. > :04:20.is on his way up to the combo box to join Gareth Giles. Zebre take to the
:04:21. > :04:29.field led by their young captain Tommaso Castello. And arguably the
:04:30. > :04:36.best player, Federico Ruzza, moves up to the second row. Edoardo
:04:37. > :04:47.Padovani continues a move from fly-half to full-back after missing
:04:48. > :04:52.the defeat last week in Glasgow. The last home game of the season for the
:04:53. > :04:59.Blues. And they will want to finish on a high. There is another game to
:05:00. > :05:04.come, at least one, and that one will be in either France or Italy,
:05:05. > :05:11.for a place in Europe's top competition next year. That will be
:05:12. > :05:17.a tough one, where it will be, so they will want to go into it with
:05:18. > :05:20.confidence I. And confidence could not be higher after Judgment Day, a
:05:21. > :05:27.superb performance, the best of the season. The big ground next door,
:05:28. > :05:36.and now we're back on their own turf, and they want to the same. No
:05:37. > :05:41.Gethin Jenkins. It is the same pack that one against the Ospreys on
:05:42. > :05:47.Judgment Day. Tomos Williams rather than Lloyd Williams at scrum-half.
:05:48. > :05:52.Rhun Williams starts at full-back, and Alex Song I'll get a second
:05:53. > :05:59.start of the season on the wing. Sean Bennett now a bone fide Blues
:06:00. > :06:05.play after coming on loan. Dries van Schalkwyk places first game for
:06:06. > :06:12.Zebre since the start of January. Former scrum-half Frank Murphy a and
:06:13. > :06:18.in charge this evening. -- Frank Murphy of Ireland. Zebre, only one
:06:19. > :06:24.point behind Benetton Treviso. Plenty in it for them. They want to
:06:25. > :06:30.be in the top competition in Europe next year, as do the Blues. This is
:06:31. > :06:44.where they bid farewell to the Pro12 at the Arms Park this season. Good
:06:45. > :06:52.yardage. He lost the ball illegally. The tackle had to be called.
:06:53. > :06:58.Oliviero Fabiani, the hooker and tomato Castello, the captain, these
:06:59. > :07:06.two involved in the tackle. A new lease of life for one of the most
:07:07. > :07:11.popular try scorers at the Arms Park when Judgment Day, Taufa'ao Filise.
:07:12. > :07:20.And making those yaz even quicker, Sean Hollins alongside me. An early
:07:21. > :07:24.penalty by Zebre. That is a factor with the Italian size, you have to
:07:25. > :07:28.punish their ill discipline and we want to see the Blues building on
:07:29. > :07:33.their Judgment Day performance. The skipper, Ellis Jenkins. Comes
:07:34. > :07:42.crashing down with the ball safely delivered to Kristian Dacey.
:07:43. > :07:46.Cuthbert, lovely off-load to Rhys Gill. Tomos Williams just brought
:07:47. > :07:53.down, and the ball didn't go to hand. Some early signs that the
:07:54. > :07:59.Blues have developed this new quick off-loading game and that is what
:08:00. > :08:02.they want to continue with. Straightaway they get the ball to
:08:03. > :08:05.Alex Cuthbert, you mentioned it at the top of the show, getting the
:08:06. > :08:09.best ball-carriers on the ball. Wasn't he tackled a little bit
:08:10. > :08:16.early? Good support play on the inside from Rhys Gill. Was he
:08:17. > :08:23.tackled a little bit early? That was lovely from Alex Cuthbert. Yes he is
:08:24. > :08:32.holding him back and Frank Murphy might have noticed that. Going
:08:33. > :08:37.further drive. Kristian Dacey got a try from that less promising
:08:38. > :08:41.situation in Judgment Day. Contained, this time. Tomos
:08:42. > :08:46.Williams, and again, Cuthbert is working. And the local ink over the
:08:47. > :08:54.top two Reynold Lee-Lo, but the colour comes across from Kayle van
:08:55. > :09:01.Zyl. They call it a kick pass. And it looks great, you want them, if
:09:02. > :09:07.you can, to go to hand, with a bounce on this page not kind enough
:09:08. > :09:18.for the Blues, but a good start. -- the bounce on this pitch.
:09:19. > :09:35.Reynold Lee-Lo has been in great form. Nick Williams. Spent a couple
:09:36. > :09:39.of seasons out in Italy. At least he is looking for work, to be fair to
:09:40. > :09:43.him. Something they have looked at in the week, Tomos Williams, already
:09:44. > :09:53.looking threatening, bringing Cuthbert, Williams and Lee-Lo
:09:54. > :09:56.interplay. -- into play. Interesting to see what kind of squad Wales
:09:57. > :10:03.announced for the games against Tonga and Samoa. But don't want to
:10:04. > :10:09.go in there with a bench of youngsters. There will be a dozen
:10:10. > :10:15.missing for the Lions. Absolutely, they have that core strength, and
:10:16. > :10:20.there have been some youngsters recently who have put their hands
:10:21. > :10:26.up. Williams at full-back tonight. He has really impressed me. He has
:10:27. > :10:34.come through very quickly. Tomos Williams, also. Unfortunately there
:10:35. > :10:39.has been an early entry to Graham Sculli which meant that he has had
:10:40. > :10:44.to go straight back on the wing. But he is fitting in well, there. And he
:10:45. > :10:50.has got a bright future ahead of him. Neil Jenkins recently were
:10:51. > :10:57.saying that they had used them in camp to run against the Welsh
:10:58. > :11:11.forwards and simulate the attack. There goes Derick Minnie. A sound
:11:12. > :11:14.tackle from Ellis Jenkins. I have been very impressed with him every
:11:15. > :11:23.time I have seen. He is a No. 8, really. Very talented. He only turns
:11:24. > :11:30.23 in August. Federico Ruzza, very impressive player. They do have a
:11:31. > :11:33.good spring thing of players. If Zebre get something from this
:11:34. > :11:38.tonight they play Treviso in that Italian battle for the Champions Cup
:11:39. > :11:45.positions. It doesn't look good for Kristian Dacey, this early in the
:11:46. > :11:52.game. He has got the tone of. He's out to the line quickly. A bit of a
:11:53. > :12:07.stinger on the shoulder. Hopefully that is something you can get over.
:12:08. > :12:15.There are the themselves. -- the boys enjoying themselves. In his
:12:16. > :12:27.tight T-shirt, as ever, a handsome young man.
:12:28. > :12:52.REFEREE: Crouch, bind, set. Stay there.
:12:53. > :13:07.That could have been a nasty clash for a second. Jenkins, to Lee-Lo.
:13:08. > :13:14.Looking to lead the line, but it was stolen. A little bit unfortunate
:13:15. > :13:19.that he had no hands called because just as he was ripping it out of his
:13:20. > :13:26.grasp. It has been a bright start for the Blues. Lots of play in the
:13:27. > :13:39.middle area. And they are trying to pick the tempo up again. There is
:13:40. > :13:45.Cuthbert. Half a gap, there. That time, no, the turnover is completed.
:13:46. > :13:50.Hindsight is a wonderful thing, had they gone for the corner. But what's
:13:51. > :13:54.that is borne out of playing for the last 20 minutes. If you run this
:13:55. > :14:06.Zebre team around you will read the benefits later in the game. -- reap
:14:07. > :14:10.the benefits. It is important that they do not get frustrated, and keep
:14:11. > :14:15.getting these ball-carriers on the ball, but not let them get isolated.
:14:16. > :14:38.They have got to find a way to challenge for the ball. Unopposed.
:14:39. > :14:49.Williams looking for the off-load. Cuthbert's confidence is growing by
:14:50. > :14:56.the game. A slower ball. Lovely off-load from Nick Williams. I was
:14:57. > :15:02.going to say that it needs someone with the bulk of Nick Williams, with
:15:03. > :15:06.soft hands on him. At the moment, they just need to get going forward.
:15:07. > :15:18.All of this play is in the midsection of the field.
:15:19. > :15:34.Edoardo Padovani. The danger is not over for Zebre.
:15:35. > :15:42.REFEREE: He was never on the ball, another on the ball.
:15:43. > :15:55.In the end, no real threat. The kick from Gareth and scum and then from
:15:56. > :15:58.Halaholo shows you that they need to look at that field position, maybe
:15:59. > :16:02.playing a little bit too much rugby. They need to keep the Italians down
:16:03. > :16:17.this end of the field, and the will tell. -- the pressure will tell. On
:16:18. > :16:24.his knees to the ground, so the Blues have to let them go. Listen to
:16:25. > :16:28.the rest -- listen to the Italians appealing to the referee for the
:16:29. > :16:39.high tackle. We don't want to see things like that. There is what a
:16:40. > :16:50.buzz in the crowd when Lee-Lo gets the ball. Advantage for the Cardiff
:16:51. > :17:03.Blues. A lovely take an off-load by Nick Williams. Great skill from the
:17:04. > :17:07.big man. Every time he gets the ball, he seems to attract big hits.
:17:08. > :17:13.That just shows that there is a player there, who can instigate
:17:14. > :17:17.attacks, who can off-load, who is always aware, comfortable on the
:17:18. > :17:28.ball, and the players let you run off him and pick up those scraps. --
:17:29. > :17:34.learn to run off him. We have seen him doing that, the one-handed pick
:17:35. > :17:40.up from the rock and the one-handed pass. It is quite sublime. The no
:17:41. > :17:50.look pass. Well anticipated by the Zebre defender, Mbanda. He has
:17:51. > :17:58.proved to be a huge talisman for the Blues since signing. The reaction
:17:59. > :18:08.from his try against the Ospreys on Judgment Day, or the player
:18:09. > :18:12.celebrating with him. All the early pressure from the Blues, and the
:18:13. > :18:18.first points, a Gareth Anscombe penalty. A lot of rugby played in
:18:19. > :18:22.that first ten minutes for very little return. Let's take the three
:18:23. > :18:47.and get that ball back and build again. Nobody wanted? Macauley Cook
:18:48. > :18:54.delivered it. It is picked up. My Carla Canna.
:18:55. > :19:06.They give penalties away. This referee, they think highly of him.
:19:07. > :19:11.And they give too many away, which results in a yellow card and that is
:19:12. > :19:15.where the Blues can take advantage. Such a needless penalty. They had
:19:16. > :19:18.the ball in their possession. There is the man with the beard who will
:19:19. > :19:37.be making a final decision as soon as on tour. John, alongside him.
:19:38. > :19:56.They see straight out and straight down. -- Dacey straight down.
:19:57. > :20:02.Williams holds his hand up. You see the ball just dying away. He has to
:20:03. > :20:14.bend down and the big man dropped it right in front of him.
:20:15. > :20:25.REFEREE: Crouch, bind, set. Tomos Williams defending for the Blues as
:20:26. > :20:31.an extra defender, Zebre lining up three backs against Lee-Lo and
:20:32. > :20:40.Cuthbert. Good charge down by Gareth Anscombe. That is giving out for
:20:41. > :20:49.Aled Summerhill. Good defending from the young man. He'll be happy with
:20:50. > :20:55.that. The kicking option, the Blues have got it covered. What you need
:20:56. > :20:58.is the Zebre players to stay in field here and recycle the ball.
:20:59. > :21:30.Great attacking spot by the Blues. Two line-outs place. Great attacking
:21:31. > :21:42.positions to launch the players into midfield. Hello, they have come to
:21:43. > :21:51.the wrong game, haven't they? I'm lost for words!
:21:52. > :22:18.REFEREE: Crouch, bind, set. Stay there, stay there. Stea. -- Stay. A
:22:19. > :22:24.chance for Paddy Varney. -- Padovani.
:22:25. > :22:30.REFEREE: I have spoken to you about your discipline, for your team, it
:22:31. > :22:38.will need to improve drastically. I give you one warning. The warning we
:22:39. > :22:44.anticipated, four penalties already. He is staring at a yellow card. That
:22:45. > :22:51.is what the Blues won. It is an extravagant play, this, deep in
:22:52. > :22:52.their own half. They don't clear out Ellis Jenkins. An easy three points,
:22:53. > :23:06.for me. The Blues have had three quarters of
:23:07. > :23:07.the possession and three quarters of the game has been played in the
:23:08. > :23:24.Zebre half. Taking the points, building up the
:23:25. > :23:27.lead gradually. As I said, it is important the Blues don't get
:23:28. > :23:31.frustrated, that the fans don't. They have the build into the game.
:23:32. > :23:39.They will have plenty of opportunities if they keep wearing
:23:40. > :23:42.them down and getting at the indiscipline of the Italians. It is
:23:43. > :24:06.a little bit chilly out there. Cuthbert giving chase. Padovani gets
:24:07. > :24:30.away well. He did well, didn't he? The semi. -- Bisegni. Maxime Amanda
:24:31. > :24:46.on the wing. -- Mbanda. Up in support again. The turn comes from
:24:47. > :24:54.Lovotti. Tracked by Josh Navidi. He has put in some important tackles
:24:55. > :24:58.already. The inside ball well defended by Josh Navidi. We have
:24:59. > :25:05.seen drifting Leon on the inside but that is a good six and seven, you
:25:06. > :25:09.infill your backs and protect your second row, your front five on the
:25:10. > :25:16.inside of you. Here it comes, in the line, back inside. If you're coming
:25:17. > :25:18.from that angle you're telegraphing to somebody as good as Josh Navidi,
:25:19. > :25:44.the line you have. Time for a quick team talk out there
:25:45. > :25:46.and a time-out. And the Blues with nine wins from 20 games, nine wins
:25:47. > :26:10.and a draw. Just three wins this season for
:26:11. > :26:23.Zebre. Treviso, Dragons and Edinburgh.
:26:24. > :26:31.Nice little kick from Tomos Williams. His kicks have been good.
:26:32. > :26:36.There was a bit of a breeze as we can see from the referee was flag.
:26:37. > :26:43.It bubbles up or runs along the floor or could sit up for Cuthbert.
:26:44. > :26:45.Just a second start in the last 11 games, Tomos Williams, with Lloyd
:26:46. > :26:58.Williams claiming the shirt recently.
:26:59. > :27:07.Mbanda tries to go through the middle and again, Josh Navidi stops
:27:08. > :27:16.in his tracks. Edoardo Padovani is quite comfortable at fly half.
:27:17. > :27:47.Carla Canna trying to various options from ten. Still in their own
:27:48. > :27:58.half. The loose pass, and the pressure is on. Taking, though, by
:27:59. > :28:05.Padovani. Now they've got to do it all again. Nobody outside Carla
:28:06. > :28:08.Canna this time to kick from. They have come to play. They are playing
:28:09. > :28:13.all the rugby but it is in their own half. The Blues finding it quite
:28:14. > :28:24.easy. They don't have the quality to get outside them, or through them.
:28:25. > :28:36.In the end Padovani puts boot to ball, only as far as Alex Cuthbert.
:28:37. > :28:43.Cuthbert. Let's see what the Blues can do with ball in hand. Macauley
:28:44. > :28:50.Cook. Lovely ball to Nick Williams. Jenkins. Gareth Anscombe on the
:28:51. > :28:55.outside. That is a superb try. Some fabulous off-loads from the back row
:28:56. > :29:01.boys and Gareth Anscombe is there to round it all. Nice finish and
:29:02. > :29:05.fantastic interplay in midfield. And, lamented by the defensive
:29:06. > :29:10.skills of Josh Navidi in this early 20 minutes. They bide their time,
:29:11. > :29:16.they are patient, they get Peter Nevill and the penalties. They
:29:17. > :29:24.forced Zebre into a kick, superbly taken by Alex Cuthbert on his own
:29:25. > :29:29.touchline, then they build with Williams. Zebre defence is now in a
:29:30. > :29:33.little bit of disarray. They have some mismatches there, but there's
:29:34. > :29:38.still a lot to do. Played short, here, Gestede a line and a nice,
:29:39. > :29:41.quick ball. Look at this from Nick Williams, and fantastic off-load
:29:42. > :29:46.from him and Ellis Jenkins. And Gareth Anscombe has enough pace to
:29:47. > :29:52.see that one out. Great school. -- score.
:29:53. > :30:01.Kurt very important that you're outside-half gets a touch in it's
:30:02. > :30:05.like this. Deft hands from Nick Williams already several times this
:30:06. > :30:17.evening. Ellis Jenkins joining in as well. Gareth Anscombe has all 13 of
:30:18. > :30:24.the Cardiff Blues points. Let's go and see what the reaction is from
:30:25. > :30:27.the Blues camp. A cracking try there and that is the off-loading game you
:30:28. > :30:32.have been trying to develop in the last six weeks. How pleasing was
:30:33. > :30:36.that? Great finish and more importantly, forcing them to kick
:30:37. > :30:40.loosely to us. If they kick loosely, which is what we want to encourage,
:30:41. > :30:42.then we get those opportunities. Can expect more of the same? Hopefully,
:30:43. > :31:01.yes. The wind is blowing in. Danny loves
:31:02. > :31:09.a good kicking battle. Here comes another chance. Great pace from Aled
:31:10. > :31:16.Summerhill. What a finish! What a finish from Aled Summerhill. I
:31:17. > :31:23.really hope he meant that. By that, I mean starving at the pull-back.
:31:24. > :31:26.With support from the inside. That patience is telling. The comments
:31:27. > :31:31.about waiting for errors and receiving kicks is coming back.
:31:32. > :31:36.Coming from an exit kick from the Blues. They get a lucky bounce but
:31:37. > :31:41.this is where the Blues have come alive the second half of the season.
:31:42. > :31:45.He has some pace, look at him standing and off he goes. A
:31:46. > :31:51.fantastic finish on the young man. He has deserved his selection
:31:52. > :31:57.tonight. This is the key. Give him enough space does the bag himself?
:31:58. > :32:10.Yes he does. Well done, that is what we want to see. Youngster proves he
:32:11. > :32:13.is worthy of that shirt on the wing. Matthew Morgan has to be happy with
:32:14. > :32:15.their place on the bench tonight. That is a class finish from Aled
:32:16. > :32:54.Summerhill. No slip-ups at all. The Blues going
:32:55. > :33:02.from strength to strength. Yes, a clean pair of heels for here. He
:33:03. > :33:05.backed himself and a great conversion from Gareth Anscombe as
:33:06. > :33:25.well. He has his sights on a place in that summer tour.
:33:26. > :33:34.A change of tactics from Gareth Anscombe. He breaks clear though. He
:33:35. > :33:42.has support on the inside. The bounce is unkind. Still not on. No,
:33:43. > :33:51.this do have possession. Maxime Mbanda drives forward. A shade more
:33:52. > :33:58.luck and they could easily have had a reply there, Zebre. Looked into
:33:59. > :34:00.his own man, Edoardo Padovani. The referee has no option but to call
:34:01. > :34:19.them back. Number eight, blue. We're bringing
:34:20. > :34:30.it up now. He felt there was a bit of a knock-on. He has fallen OK, I
:34:31. > :34:36.don't see too much wrong in that. He is picking him up, he has tipped him
:34:37. > :34:40.and he has fallen on his hip. From what I can see, there is a left
:34:41. > :34:56.involved but not much force in that action. Lifting involved but not
:34:57. > :35:01.much force. He has released. Are looking at a yellow card. It is
:35:02. > :35:05.going to be yellow. I know it is the letter of the law, but that is not
:35:06. > :35:11.the yellow card, for me. It is a good strong catch tackle. Yes, he
:35:12. > :35:21.has lifted him a little. If a warning or a penalty. You have
:35:22. > :35:25.dropped. Billy? That is dangerous, a yellow card. You can see the
:35:26. > :35:33.amazement of those players. It is not a yellow card for me. I was more
:35:34. > :35:44.interested in the potential knock-on by Zebre.
:35:45. > :35:54.Well, it came from the kick again. A missed tackle from Rhun Williams.
:35:55. > :36:00.Kayle Van Zyl. That is a knock-on. Then comes the tackle which public
:36:01. > :36:08.override it from the TML. What I cannot understand now is the
:36:09. > :36:12.decision to go the three points. For a team that has come to score tries,
:36:13. > :36:30.I don't know. That gets Zebre on the board at least.
:36:31. > :36:35.If you look at the top left-hand corner of the screen, there's
:36:36. > :36:40.already an minutes gone off the yellow card from taking a penalty.
:36:41. > :36:51.Yes, they got three, but they need a lot more than that tonight, Zebre.
:36:52. > :36:59.No messing this time from Carlo Canna. It is the ball back for the
:37:00. > :37:04.Blues and the chance to attack. Yes, thank you very much, we will take
:37:05. > :37:08.another minute or two, take our time, on the line-out. The Blues
:37:09. > :37:12.will try to keep the ball out, run this clock out on the lead back to
:37:13. > :37:14.15. They have two tries in the bank, plenty of time to build with a bonus
:37:15. > :37:33.point win. Picture down by Ellis Jenkins. Alex
:37:34. > :37:44.Cuthbert is waiting. It is Willis Halaholo who get it. Rey Lee-Lo.
:37:45. > :37:54.Aled Summerhill. A hand in the wafer Rhun Williams.
:37:55. > :38:06.Macauley Cook. Advantage over, penalty advantage. They are giving
:38:07. > :38:14.away penalties at an alarming rate, Zebre. The Blues Smith it as well,
:38:15. > :38:24.don't they? A kick for nothing has been taken by Cuthbert anyway. Tomos
:38:25. > :38:30.Williams has the battle to get the ball away. The pressure and they
:38:31. > :38:36.will go back to the previous penalty although there is any number of them
:38:37. > :38:50.they could choose from. Pushing contest, no? I'm sure Ellis Jenkins
:38:51. > :39:02.is reminding the referee that he gave him a warning not to long ago.
:39:03. > :39:12.Your discipline has already been an issue. We don't have a number.
:39:13. > :39:25.Penalty here, offside. We don't have a number but we have HTML. -- TML.
:39:26. > :39:49.I'm not quite sure the point of this. TMO. I'm pretty sure this will
:39:50. > :40:01.be just to run the clock down. Take the sting out of that yellow card.
:40:02. > :40:49.. Another great kick there. Cuthbert again wins the aerial battle, as you
:40:50. > :41:02.would expect from at six FM, but the touch judge has his flag up.
:41:03. > :41:05.Another contestable kick from Tomos Williams. He has kicked well but
:41:06. > :41:46.there is a tricky window there. Josh Navidi working very hard there.
:41:47. > :41:49.Initially he was out of the line-out. But with Nick Williams
:41:50. > :42:06.out, he did a great job there. Really consistent player, Josh
:42:07. > :42:09.Navidi. Yes, he is playing in an era when there is a lot of great back
:42:10. > :42:19.row players in Wales. But he is very consistent. Anywhere across the back
:42:20. > :42:21.row. He got his one cap against Japan on the last Lions tour. Will
:42:22. > :42:44.he have another one? Alex Cuthbert is lurking behind the
:42:45. > :42:47.scrum here. You are far too far back. Let us simplify it and come
:42:48. > :43:16.closer. Willis Halaholo steps up to fill the
:43:17. > :43:25.void left by Nick Williams. Cuthbert. Again showing strength
:43:26. > :43:35.going straight at Carlo Canna. Using him almost rugby league style to get
:43:36. > :43:40.the go forward. Gareth Anscombe lying deep in the 22 but it is
:43:41. > :43:53.Williams who does the cooking. Mattia Bellini. Gideon Koegelenberg
:43:54. > :44:08.in support. Carlo Canna. Fabio Fognini. He has a third go at it
:44:09. > :44:18.experts that was a good off-load but he couldn't take it. Tomos Williams
:44:19. > :44:30.had to weave his way through. Kristian Dacey. The two centres are
:44:31. > :44:35.together are very close to the offside line. Picked up by Rey
:44:36. > :45:01.Lee-Lo. Gareth Anscombe. Kristian Dacey. The last five
:45:02. > :45:12.minutes of the first half. Two tries in the opening quarter. Two tries
:45:13. > :45:14.just after the end of the opening quarter. It has all gone a bit
:45:15. > :45:20.scrappy synth Nick Williams has gone off. He has support this time. Rhun
:45:21. > :45:26.Williams hold him down. To be fair, the support had come from Mattia
:45:27. > :45:34.Bellini. It ran away from him. A great tackle. The decision by the
:45:35. > :45:50.Italian full-back. The Blues have got themselves back. A brilliant
:45:51. > :45:58.take by the winger but he couldn't hold his feet. Just a little bit of
:45:59. > :46:10.luck going against Zebre. They are looking for their first try. Edoardo
:46:11. > :46:23.Padovani has had in some great attacks. It seems a lot of error.
:46:24. > :46:29.Zebre haven't really taken advantage of it. Still a 20 point gap. This is
:46:30. > :46:40.what I don't understand. We have gone for a corner. The chance has
:46:41. > :46:51.gone. It is the break again. She was some good footwork. Kristian Dacey
:46:52. > :46:59.on his right-hand shoulder. A great tackle. Upon his feet. He is a tall
:47:00. > :47:09.runner but the wrong option at the end. Zebre then, looking for their
:47:10. > :47:20.first try towards the end of this first half. Decent line drive. They
:47:21. > :47:28.are going to the touchline. Marcello Violi looking to get his hands on
:47:29. > :47:37.it. Derick Minnie. Concentration now and discipline needed from the Blues
:47:38. > :47:40.in these last couple of minutes. Fabio Fognini once again. Carlo
:47:41. > :48:02.Canna weights. Maxime Mbanda. Over the ball but
:48:03. > :48:06.Nick Williams dives in for it. It is therefore Zebre. Mattia Bellini on
:48:07. > :48:11.most slips through. Carlo Canna, has he got the ball to ground? Frank
:48:12. > :48:17.Murphy as close as anyone can be. Takes one in the mouth for his
:48:18. > :48:24.struggle experts why didn't he score there? Unbelievable defence. It was
:48:25. > :48:28.Alex Cuthbert, I think. There are plenty Zebre, going down the short
:48:29. > :48:34.side. Desperate tackling, how he off-loaded this. Great take and it
:48:35. > :48:41.is Cuthbert who hold them up unbelievably. Incredible defence
:48:42. > :48:46.from the winger. Great off-loaded by Carlo Canna. Cuthbert showing huge
:48:47. > :48:52.strength. Doesn't hit the floor. Frank Murphy is right there. A bit
:48:53. > :48:58.too close because as Marcello Violi comes over, Frank Murphy is still
:48:59. > :49:08.looking in there and the scrum-half comes flying over any second. As he
:49:09. > :49:20.turns round, have that one, referee! That's for not giving it. I'm sorry!
:49:21. > :49:30.Great defending by Alex Cuthbert. You should never give up on
:49:31. > :49:32.anything, youngsters. Last chance then in the first half for the
:49:33. > :49:58.Zebre. Showing his defensive qualities as
:49:59. > :50:04.well, as his attacking ones the ceiling, is Alex Cuthbert. It is
:50:05. > :50:07.amazing what the mind confidence doors in professional sport. These
:50:08. > :50:15.last 56 weeks, he has been outstanding. Derick Minnie breaks
:50:16. > :50:24.from the scrum. Ellis Jenkins drives him back yards. Carlo Canna to
:50:25. > :50:40.Eddery got reserved. Gideon Koegelenberg. One more bit of
:50:41. > :50:45.defending needed from the Cardiff Blues. Over the top to Taufa'ao
:50:46. > :50:50.Filise and out he will play. In the end, the Zebre cannot break down the
:50:51. > :50:56.Blues defence. Two tries in quick succession for the home team. A
:50:57. > :51:01.comfortable 20 point lead. The job is half done. But they will wind to
:51:02. > :51:06.press on the advantage they have had for long periods in the second half
:51:07. > :51:10.comes. Only looking for two more tries of the bonus point. They will
:51:11. > :51:15.be relatively happy out there with that half time score. At the
:51:16. > :51:21.interval, it is 23 - three to the Cardiff Blues. Do you think the
:51:22. > :51:29.league might have been more given the amount of bull market had? Yes,
:51:30. > :51:32.we played well in the first half. Obviously, the last ten minutes,
:51:33. > :51:38.down to 14 men, we had to change it up little bit to try and get Nick
:51:39. > :51:44.Williams off the bench. Might the wind hubby in the second-half? It's
:51:45. > :51:54.not too strong, to be honest. Have a good orange, so, Zebre have come
:51:55. > :51:58.into play here a little bit at Arms Park but after a couple of early
:51:59. > :52:01.penalties, it was Gareth Anscombe strumming over the line for the
:52:02. > :52:07.first of two tries in two minutes. This one, simply different
:52:08. > :52:11.complexion on the game. Aled Summerhill, what a finish from the
:52:12. > :52:14.young winger. Plenty of pace to stand up at full-back and then back
:52:15. > :52:18.himself to go on the way over the line. A classic wingers try and
:52:19. > :52:22.update the game way beyond Zebre's reach. Italians have come to play
:52:23. > :52:26.and the Blues have to spend ten minutes of that first half with one
:52:27. > :52:30.man in the bin. Nick Williams after so much positive stuff, blotted his
:52:31. > :52:33.copybook somewhat with a yellow card, although some of the boys and
:52:34. > :52:38.commentary but it was a harsh decision. Have a look at those
:52:39. > :52:45.statistics. At one point, territory was massively in the Blues favour.
:52:46. > :52:49.Zebre barely got out of their half in that opening 25 minutes but it
:52:50. > :52:56.has evened up in the last ten or 15 and is game on here. 23-3. The Blues
:52:57. > :53:04.looking comfortable but Zebre nearly getting over the line in the closing
:53:05. > :53:08.stages of that opening half. The question is a relevant one, the
:53:09. > :53:10.Blues are in a comfortable lead but given the possession and territory
:53:11. > :53:19.that had, it could have been more? Yes. I asked was as a watershed
:53:20. > :53:23.moment and regardless of Zebre today, they need to put a
:53:24. > :53:27.performance in on the pitch. Really show how far they've come the
:53:28. > :53:30.season. I was into the Blues coaches beforehand and the impression was
:53:31. > :53:33.that while Zebre picked a full strength team, they've just come
:53:34. > :53:38.with a big scrum and try and slow the game down. Conversely, even
:53:39. > :53:43.though a lot of it has been an their own half, they have chucked the ball
:53:44. > :53:46.about a bit? Shown a willingness to run the ball. Even impressive in the
:53:47. > :53:51.last few minutes. They don't quite have that quality but certainly,
:53:52. > :53:57.their intent. I watch them against the Ospreys and this match is a man
:53:58. > :54:01.ahead of where they wear them. Talking of the Blues and that attack
:54:02. > :54:05.which we praised on it have come in games is this evening but that first
:54:06. > :54:09.try, Gareth Anscombe finished it handsomely but you were praising
:54:10. > :54:15.Ellis Jenkins at the top of the show and it was the back row that
:54:16. > :54:22.creature that opportunity. It gave Ellis has not gone on to have a
:54:23. > :54:26.shopper! The ball comes out wide both times. He is getting his
:54:27. > :54:31.position. Nick Williams, a great charge, my little see with the past
:54:32. > :54:36.and Jenkins, pass round the corner. A great finish from Gareth Anscombe.
:54:37. > :54:42.Gareth Anscombe squirt all the points but it was 13-0 initial bid.
:54:43. > :54:45.We have talked about caravans can, since coming back from injury, his
:54:46. > :54:51.partnership with Lloyd Williams has really wasn't over the five or six
:54:52. > :54:58.fixtures and he is looking the real deal. He is a great player. High
:54:59. > :55:03.expectations of him becoming over. That confidence and getting used to
:55:04. > :55:09.the style of play, he is finding his feet. If that one was created by the
:55:10. > :55:13.back row but the in tandem, the one scored two minutes later was just a
:55:14. > :55:17.brilliant finish from Aled Summerhill. He backed himself and
:55:18. > :55:22.got over the line. Yes, suburb, should his confidence. Made that
:55:23. > :55:28.break, good gas up the wing but it is that element of confidence. He
:55:29. > :55:31.has a little look inside to CF Rey Lee-Lo has followed up. He realised
:55:32. > :55:37.he has the beating of the full-back, just a stutter step and he is
:55:38. > :55:45.untouched. What a finish. He has his chance in the Blues 15 today and he
:55:46. > :55:52.has taken it with both hands. Rhun Williams picking up a potent for the
:55:53. > :55:56.Brewers. Ellis Jenkins, man of the match a fortnight ago, 28 tackles
:55:57. > :55:59.out of 28, we have seen none by status from Nick Williams. We know
:56:00. > :56:03.what he can do in terms of making yards. We have seen him with a
:56:04. > :56:09.yellow card tonight but it is also the soft hands and he is not given
:56:10. > :56:12.so much credit for? He is a very big man, he gets over the gain line and
:56:13. > :56:18.he bends the line which brings people into the game but the little
:56:19. > :56:21.ball, he is known as a bulk carrier at around him is a lot of space
:56:22. > :56:25.because the defence now he has to set any otherwise he will break the
:56:26. > :56:30.line. This off-load, a little sneak, which is difficult when you are over
:56:31. > :56:33.20 stone. Every time there is a brick in the play, he is getting
:56:34. > :56:39.around the boys and them confidence. Obviously aspects of the game and
:56:40. > :56:43.are not so great. A big impact here in the tackle. I don't really think
:56:44. > :56:48.that is a dangerous tackle but the letter of the law. A bit of
:56:49. > :56:52.subtlety. He takes responsibility, apologises to the coach, get on with
:56:53. > :56:56.again. He has come with a big reputation as a hard man but he
:56:57. > :57:02.seems to be very much a talisman for this loser team. He apologised to
:57:03. > :57:06.Christian Davies and not picking up the path. Fair play to him. I would
:57:07. > :57:13.not have taken responsibility for that one! Nick Williams, he is back
:57:14. > :57:16.on the pitch now and will be on the second-half which is coming up very
:57:17. > :57:19.shortly but as the race for the play-offs and as its final furlong,
:57:20. > :57:25.we have some critical games to come this weekend. The Scarlets could
:57:26. > :57:29.secure their place in the semifinals with a week to spare if they can
:57:30. > :57:35.overcome the defending champions in Galway. That game is live from 7:15
:57:36. > :57:40.tomorrow. The Ospreys could claim their play-off place if they could
:57:41. > :57:45.win against Ulster with a bonus point and deny the Ulsterman able
:57:46. > :57:51.respond. If not, it will all come down to last again. Highlights of
:57:52. > :57:54.all the action on scrum five Sunday with myself, Jonathan Davies and
:57:55. > :58:00.Martyn Williams. We will be hearing to from a Lion who is ready to roar
:58:01. > :58:03.down under. Sam Warburton, captain for the second tour rolling.
:58:04. > :58:08.Possibly he would have been your pick? Depends if he is watching! If
:58:09. > :58:14.he is watching, and he will be because he is a fan of yours. George
:58:15. > :58:17.North was absolutely right, Sam Warburton is watching and I can tell
:58:18. > :58:24.you that for a fact because he's standing alongside me. I'm not happy
:58:25. > :58:29.with that. Or was he thinking? Lions captain for the second time, one of
:58:30. > :58:33.only two men in history who have been given the job twice.
:58:34. > :58:37.Congratulations. Does it in different emotionally this time? It
:58:38. > :58:43.is slightly different because you've gone through that process once
:58:44. > :58:46.before but then it's equally as special because it's a brand-new
:58:47. > :58:51.group of players, a new country to tour from looking forward to it and
:58:52. > :58:54.it's the biggest test against New Zealand. Many people asking, I bet
:58:55. > :59:01.you disappointed with the itinerary for the team you're playing. You're
:59:02. > :59:04.thinking, what do you mean? That's what it's all about. You want to go
:59:05. > :59:07.out and face a challenge so I'm looking forward to it. That
:59:08. > :59:09.anticipates my next question because I was going to see everyone is
:59:10. > :59:17.talking about this brutal schedule, the fact is ten games and all fibre
:59:18. > :59:21.rugby teams. I suppose there are two ways of looking at is, firstly you
:59:22. > :59:24.will be a battle hardened going into the test secondly you will be battle
:59:25. > :59:27.weary because those provincial players will want to take a chunk
:59:28. > :59:31.out of the Lions. Which we do you see it? I see it as maybe those
:59:32. > :59:39.players will be looking at playing three or for Mac games but that
:59:40. > :59:42.first test. For me, as a player, knowing you have three games about
:59:43. > :59:46.intensity under your belt going into the Test series with energy in a
:59:47. > :59:53.really good place is icky. The guys I'm going to be playing seven games
:59:54. > :59:57.before the first test. That is why the bigger squad was picked. The
:59:58. > :00:01.guys will get a few games under their belt and roll into the first
:00:02. > :00:08.test physically free, they will be in a good place to face the first
:00:09. > :00:14.much. You played in the Melbourne Rebels. How hungry, how desperate
:00:15. > :00:16.will they be to make their mark on the Lions because it is once every
:00:17. > :00:27.12 years for them? Rugby is everything in New Zealand.
:00:28. > :00:32.Each and every provincial team will be looking to take the scalp of the
:00:33. > :00:37.lines. With the All Blacks playing it is going to be a great test, each
:00:38. > :00:41.and every one and it is going to be great preparation for the Test
:00:42. > :00:46.match. Some said that being relieved of the Wales captaincy allowed you
:00:47. > :00:51.to then play some of the best rugby of your career, so the captaincy of
:00:52. > :00:55.the lines could be a burden. Presumably when Warren Gatland make
:00:56. > :00:59.that phone call there was no hesitation. Of course not. You never
:01:00. > :01:03.know how I would have played if I was captain for Wales but I think in
:01:04. > :01:09.hindsight I did play better because I did not have the captaincy. But
:01:10. > :01:13.now that I feel that I got my former back, I feel fit, my shoulders and
:01:14. > :01:17.neck and all of the normal injuries I have had have been fine. That is
:01:18. > :01:21.why it is a much easier decision to accept because I am back on form and
:01:22. > :01:25.I can probably justify that role, where I did not think I could, back
:01:26. > :01:30.in January. I would not have picked myself to start for Wales in January
:01:31. > :01:34.and I felt like I needed to win my place back. Now I feel that I am
:01:35. > :01:41.playing good rugby again it was an easier decision to make. You are
:01:42. > :01:43.proudly wearing your Blues blazers this evening. You must have been
:01:44. > :01:48.gutted to miss that Judgment Day game against the Ospreys. What does
:01:49. > :01:54.it tell you about the weight that Danny Wilson's project is coming to
:01:55. > :01:59.fruition? For the Ospreys game we played Ulster, Gloucester, then
:02:00. > :02:03.Leinster going backwards. Gloucester, we just had a terrible
:02:04. > :02:06.ten minutes. The first 50 minutes we were really dominant, I thought,
:02:07. > :02:14.against Gloucester. And also, and away draw, so we look back at the
:02:15. > :02:20.performances, we played some good weeks of rugby running into the
:02:21. > :02:24.Ospreys game, although on paper results were not so good, but on
:02:25. > :02:28.that performance, we were knocking on the door with that for quite a
:02:29. > :02:37.few weeks to come. A lot of senior players are fit and raring to go.
:02:38. > :02:42.Are you going to ring George North and tell them not to be so cheeky
:02:43. > :02:50.next and? He would say that my face, I know that for a fact! We will see
:02:51. > :02:55.in New Zealand. Thank you. Sam Warburton, the Lions captain, and is
:02:56. > :02:58.team-mates are the Blues, Gareth Anscombe is about to kick off for
:02:59. > :03:06.the second half with the Blues up 23-3. We can retort now to the
:03:07. > :03:15.country box with Sean Hollins and Gareth Giles. 18 of those points
:03:16. > :03:22.coming in the first half, playing into a slight wind, not a hurricane
:03:23. > :03:27.by any means. Looking for two more tries to hack off the home leg of
:03:28. > :03:40.their season. They have a very rare Chipchiu carefully to come. That is
:03:41. > :03:48.good for -- a very rare trip to Caerphilly. They have got 40 minutes
:03:49. > :03:53.to construct three tries, get that bonus point in and consolidate
:03:54. > :03:57.seventh position in the Pro12. And why not, in front of their home
:03:58. > :04:10.crowd for their last home game of the season?
:04:11. > :04:19.He played his last game for Zebre in January. Josh Navidi does well to
:04:20. > :04:43.pick up the bouncing ball and put the Blues on the front foot.
:04:44. > :04:49.Jenkins, to Navidi. Kristian Dacey. Aled Summerhill. Back to Tomos
:04:50. > :05:28.Williams. Ellis Jenkins. Halaholo. Trying to spot the gap between Carla
:05:29. > :05:33.Canna and Mbanda. Still going, he has van Zyl outside In, the winger.
:05:34. > :05:40.We didn't find them, tackle not completed, says the referee. Yes it
:05:41. > :05:44.was, the penalty has, in the end just as Kayle van Zyl goes over and
:05:45. > :05:50.they just cannot get the score, Zebre. Not exactly sure where
:05:51. > :05:56.Federico Ruzza came from, and neither is he. They're blaming the
:05:57. > :06:00.second row and the back row. The hands of the scrum-half on the ball.
:06:01. > :06:06.He timed it to perfection and put it away from the referee Frank Murphy,
:06:07. > :06:09.but was he held, here? Yes, he has been brought to ground, he has to
:06:10. > :06:17.release or do something immediately. It is the ball and fortunately the
:06:18. > :06:26.referee had their heels on and Frank Murphy made the decision. Great
:06:27. > :06:34.toggle -- great cover tackle from Williams. He is giving that, all
:06:35. > :07:02.night long. He's doing it again and there, Tomos
:07:03. > :07:12.Williams. His hands on the ball for a long time, there. He needs to be
:07:13. > :07:21.careful. And again. If his hands on the ball they are on side. Lovely
:07:22. > :07:24.tackle from Josh Navidi. Zebre have picked their game up at the
:07:25. > :07:31.beginning of this second half. Mbanda goes through. Gaining far
:07:32. > :07:48.more yaz than he did in the first half. That time, Giulio Bisegni
:07:49. > :07:53.guilty of not tackling. Good, flat ball, out the back, difficult to
:07:54. > :08:00.defend, two targets to pick. And it is just too high for him and
:08:01. > :08:04.slightly behind. The cutout passes the need to be absolutely spot on
:08:05. > :08:16.and bring the catcher into his running stride. Just a word from Sam
:08:17. > :08:21.Morgan on half-time. He speaks well. He will be immensely proud of that
:08:22. > :08:28.young man. What a great achievement. And certainly, he will represent
:08:29. > :08:42.Wales as well as the Lions. In Edinburgh, just the one penalty
:08:43. > :08:54.for Jason Cuddy against his old club.
:08:55. > :09:03.Padovani. Ellis Jenkins, over the ball. That this great work by the
:09:04. > :09:16.Blues skipper. Just the speed in which he got into
:09:17. > :09:22.position, the timing he had got over the ball. They will practice that.
:09:23. > :09:26.They will use tackle bags. To get up quickly. Just anticipating an round
:09:27. > :09:32.his legs with his knees into the right position, fantastic. It
:09:33. > :09:38.requires a lot of skill, timing and courage. The scorer, Corey
:09:39. > :10:05.Domachowski, non-. -- coming on. It is strapped heavily, his left
:10:06. > :10:15.ankle, Rhys Gill. Castello puts the ball downfield.
:10:16. > :10:21.It is that combination of Nick Williams and Kristian Dacey, three
:10:22. > :10:24.or four attacking line-outs have gone all I now, basic errors from
:10:25. > :10:48.the Blues. -- have gone awry. You would think it was St Patrick's
:10:49. > :12:11.Day. Federico Ruzza tries to change the
:12:12. > :12:19.angle. Carla Canna has a go. Jenkins tries to get over, not successfully,
:12:20. > :12:43.this time. Castello right in there amongst the forwards. Fabiani.
:12:44. > :12:57.Good, steady progress downfield from Zebre. Great pass from Canada.
:12:58. > :13:06.Lee-Lo is waiting. It is the finishing that is letting them down.
:13:07. > :13:14.-- from Carlo Canna. It is a clinical edge, isn't it?
:13:15. > :13:23.Lost possession at the crucial moment. And the Blues are off the
:13:24. > :13:27.hook. Frustration creeping in for the scrum-half. You can see the
:13:28. > :13:35.Blues defence getting stronger as the phases getting longer. There's
:13:36. > :13:39.the difference. Zebre are down the bottom half of the table for a
:13:40. > :13:42.reason. They don't finish off scores. Nice support play but the
:13:43. > :14:05.Blues eventually contain them and the comes. -- the error comes.
:14:06. > :14:15.Zebre had hardly a sniff of the Blues' 22 for the first 35 minutes.
:14:16. > :14:26.They have looked rejuvenated side in the second half. He looks to be
:14:27. > :14:33.blowing a little bit. Frank Murphy said it was the third time he has
:14:34. > :14:34.gone down. Calling for another scrum, on the basis of the last
:14:35. > :14:59.time. Carlo Canna directly behind the
:15:00. > :15:16.scrum. REFEREE: Crouch, buying, set. --
:15:17. > :15:24.bind, set. That is a good scrum. And as they lose control they come back
:15:25. > :15:37.for the penalty. The winger cannot ground that, so back they come.
:15:38. > :15:44.REFEREE: Captain and number two, please. OK, we've had a free kick
:15:45. > :15:52.and a penalty against you now. We need to improve this. We need to see
:15:53. > :16:04.discipline there, as well. Let's talk to them, and we move on. OK?
:16:05. > :16:08.The last two scrums tell a story and that is a good decision. They need
:16:09. > :16:18.to change something or it will be a yellow card. If the same thing as
:16:19. > :16:26.last time happened... You can see that there is consternation it down
:16:27. > :16:32.at halfway with the manager. REFEREE: Crouch, bind, set. An
:16:33. > :16:40.interesting situation. Have they gone down again, the Blues? Penalty
:16:41. > :16:58.to Zebre. Marcello Violi, to Castello. They are chewing up
:16:59. > :16:58.outside him. Ready for the next one. Sarto
:16:59. > :17:15.just shifts it on. Violi. What is Frank Murphy's decision? That is
:17:16. > :17:17.going to leave the Blues livid. They wanted to make the substitution
:17:18. > :17:22.before the scrum and now they are going to have to be down to 14 men.
:17:23. > :17:26.Scott Andrews is going to come on any way someone else is going to
:17:27. > :17:30.have to come. There will be ramifications. The fourth official
:17:31. > :17:34.had clearly been given the card. Scott Andrews was ready. They wanted
:17:35. > :17:44.to make the change after that second penalty. For some reason, it wasn't
:17:45. > :17:54.made and they have to go with the next scrum, so there was some
:17:55. > :17:59.miscommunication down there, and Dan is going to be absolutely furious.
:18:00. > :18:09.It is Alex Song Myhill who's making way. -- Aled Summerhill. Scott
:18:10. > :18:24.Andrews, eventually on. In the meantime, Aled Summerhill has made
:18:25. > :18:31.way. I would love to be a fly on the wall down down near the dugout. We
:18:32. > :18:36.have seen no situations before. It is not good for the blood pressure,
:18:37. > :18:48.I can tell you. Blues down to 14, defending a scrum which has been
:18:49. > :18:54.increasingly under pressure. Well, Zebre suddenly found themselves a
:18:55. > :19:01.scrum. REFEREE: Absolutely no need, lads. A
:19:02. > :19:02.respected international about to come on and make a bit of a
:19:03. > :19:26.difference. REFEREE: Crouch, bind, set. For
:19:27. > :19:32.Zebre, Dries van Schalkwyk will want to keep the ball at his feet for as
:19:33. > :19:41.long as possible. He could go again here. We certainly would give them a
:19:42. > :19:47.warning. You have lost the bind and gone straight to ground. Let's work
:19:48. > :19:56.in some discipline now. We need to see some improvement. OK? They will
:19:57. > :20:00.be down to 13 if this continues. This is a big decision that Frank
:20:01. > :20:16.Murphy has to make, for a young referee. He has to make those calls.
:20:17. > :20:30.He has got his work cut out here. REFEREE: Crouch, bind, set. And this
:20:31. > :20:34.time no doubt from Frank Murphy, as the Blues continued to fold under
:20:35. > :20:39.pressure from the Zebre scrum, this straight beneath the posts for a
:20:40. > :20:45.penalty try. And they are lucky that he hasn't gone for his pocket, as
:20:46. > :20:52.well. Referees look at penalty tries to give the offender the yellow card
:20:53. > :20:59.and Scott Andrews hadn't been given the original penalty before. And
:21:00. > :21:03.they are chasing a bonus point, Zebre. We talked about them being
:21:04. > :21:07.one point behind and there is only next week to play. We will see
:21:08. > :21:13.exactly what happened because the team manager Gavin Cooper is now
:21:14. > :21:19.with Phil. I don't think I have ever seen before. Explain what happened.
:21:20. > :21:31.The officials were saying that we could not replace Filise with Scott
:21:32. > :21:35.Andrews. Unfortunately he copped the yellow card at the same time. We
:21:36. > :21:40.will have to dig deep for the next ten minutes. It has cost you, that
:21:41. > :21:44.penalty try. The pressure has been on us since half-time. We have a
:21:45. > :21:51.game on our hands and we need to respond in the right way. Thank you
:21:52. > :22:00.for your time. No problem. Carlo Canna in trouble. And the Blues have
:22:01. > :22:06.got a totally unexpected try! Tomos Williams. That is an absolute gift.
:22:07. > :22:15.What is good to happen next? A real opportunist try. After all that
:22:16. > :22:19.series of scrums. Filise does not look that impressed. But the Blues
:22:20. > :22:22.have gone straight up the field and done a professional job, put the
:22:23. > :22:26.pressure on and Tomos Williams, he has been lively today and has had a
:22:27. > :22:31.good game so far, capitalising on that. Sometimes the kicker doesn't
:22:32. > :22:37.pay attention. Alex Cuthbert right in his ways. Josh Navidi has been
:22:38. > :22:42.excellent for this first hour. And they do make mistakes. Great
:22:43. > :22:49.follow-up and a great try. It was such a sloppy pass from Mbanda. He
:22:50. > :22:55.just chucked it away for Zebre, there. It was an opportunist try.
:22:56. > :22:59.Sometimes you can get something out of nothing like that. Still thinking
:23:00. > :23:08.about what was happening back here, I'm wondering what had happened, if
:23:09. > :23:18.Filise had a back injury. Imagine that. 100% from Gareth and scum as
:23:19. > :23:25.far as kicking goes. And that there a smile on Danny's phase. He knows
:23:26. > :23:30.what a big boost this was. It is a bonus, isn't it? Great work.
:23:31. > :23:34.Sometimes things don't require too much talent, just effort, and that
:23:35. > :23:38.is what you got from Cuthbert, from Navidi and from Tomos Williams. They
:23:39. > :23:51.got their reward and the Blues can relax a little bit now and try and
:23:52. > :24:00.play a bit of rugby. Ceccarelli is off and the new scrum-half, Ponor
:24:01. > :24:01.Thuney will be on. That could be the shot in the arm that the Blues
:24:02. > :24:19.needed. -- Palazzani. Tomos Williams. He
:24:20. > :24:22.fends off Carlo Canna, and what an individual score from Tomos Williams
:24:23. > :24:33.to bring the Blues a bonus point! Magic! They are going to go upstairs
:24:34. > :24:41.and for no other reason than to reward amazing skill, I hope that it
:24:42. > :24:43.is a try. We will listen to Frank Murphy.
:24:44. > :24:54.REFEREE: I want to check two things. That is OK. We will check the touch.
:24:55. > :24:57.OK, Frank, we'll check the knock-on. Tomos Williams is just growing in
:24:58. > :25:00.confidence every time he manages to get on the field. Interesting
:25:01. > :25:07.selection tonight, but he has backed himself. Watching down this inside
:25:08. > :25:10.left channel, he has backed himself for the ball in hand, switched
:25:11. > :25:19.hands. Let's have a little look, here. There is a hint of a knock-on.
:25:20. > :25:36.It is. I think they will give that. Yes, I think that is possibly the
:25:37. > :25:49.angle, Frank. I'm just having a look.
:25:50. > :26:00.There is only one conclusion that he can possibly come to. Picks it up.
:26:01. > :26:05.It is on his knee, lands on his shin and it's the player on the ground on
:26:06. > :26:21.the knee. Go back to the other angle... We will bring up that first
:26:22. > :26:25.angle again. One more different angle as Dean Williams falls.
:26:26. > :26:30.Sweetly on the first attempt. He scooped it up and got it. I think he
:26:31. > :26:34.will be giving the knock-on. It looks forward from there and the
:26:35. > :26:41.circumstances. That is so unlucky for Tomos Williams because it was a
:26:42. > :26:48.brilliant bit of finishing. It is a shame. Watching that six times and
:26:49. > :26:55.not getting the end product. Watch this young man. He switches it, he
:26:56. > :27:05.is in the air. The finish was superb. He looks a bit cross. That
:27:06. > :27:22.deserved the bonus point. But it is not going to get one.
:27:23. > :27:36.REFEREE: Crouch, bind, set. Stay there, say square, stea Square. Will
:27:37. > :27:40.you fancy going in from there, now? I'm not sure what the booing is
:27:41. > :27:57.about from the home crowd. It is a very solid scrum.
:27:58. > :28:07.That is one heck of a touch finder. Kicking at banana style, and it has
:28:08. > :28:14.gone right in the corner, five metres out. Just watch him. He holds
:28:15. > :28:33.it, comes across it, like a 4-iron, he slices it.
:28:34. > :28:42.REFEREE: Ad vantage, advantage against Blues. Palazzani playing
:28:43. > :28:51.advantage at the moment. And over they go. And the tries are reining
:28:52. > :28:58.in at the moment and Maxine Mbanda gets his second for Zebre. It has
:28:59. > :29:07.been that way for Zebre in the second half, all of this pressure
:29:08. > :29:12.and points have come from the scrum. What it means as well is that more
:29:13. > :29:17.tries have been scored this season in the Pro12 than in any other
:29:18. > :29:34.season. Do you know what season held the record? I think it was 2004,
:29:35. > :29:43.season. But records are there to be broken. It wasn't Carlo Canna, was
:29:44. > :29:47.it? Looking sprightly, tonight. They have certainly got their tails up.
:29:48. > :29:51.They had a penalty advantage, they got the rewards. And they are still
:29:52. > :30:13.chasing this bonus point. Willis Halaholo gets the applause
:30:14. > :30:24.from the crowd. Steve Shingler on in his place.
:30:25. > :30:34.Corey Domachowski. Ellis Jenkins, brilliantly timed run. Tomos
:30:35. > :30:37.Williams on his outside, waiting. Let's see if he can get a second
:30:38. > :30:53.this time. Gareth Anscombe. Steve Shingler. Ellis Jenkins set them
:30:54. > :31:04.going again. He struck straightaway last time. The Blues looking to do
:31:05. > :31:13.the same again. Rey Lee-Lo. Macauley Cook. This is everybody but picked
:31:14. > :31:26.up by Steve Shingler. Gareth Anscombe. Dario Chistolini with the
:31:27. > :31:39.tackle. Kristian Dacey straightens up. Tried to force it back but well
:31:40. > :31:46.worked by Tommaso Castello, captain of Zebre. You feel the Blues need to
:31:47. > :31:51.hang onto the ball, go through phases, settle down and get their
:31:52. > :32:08.shape again. Not get isolated. James Down in this case. Another good
:32:09. > :32:13.touch kick. Lovely timing. Gareth Anscombe has challenged the line
:32:14. > :32:26.tonight. Ellis Jenkins, a great game all round.
:32:27. > :32:36.Aled Summerhill back onto the field, the Blues back up to 50 men. Let's
:32:37. > :32:43.go down to the try line. The Premiership tomorrow, the build-up
:32:44. > :32:55.is building nicely. Here are the fixtures. I will be at our GC,
:32:56. > :33:07.looking forward to seeing the boys there. If you're stuck in traffic,
:33:08. > :33:12.congratulations to the downside, they were promoted this week with
:33:13. > :33:34.the win they had and they have gone up. Well done to them.
:33:35. > :33:41.A potential no arms tackle somewhere along the way here. The crowd is
:33:42. > :33:56.incensed. The referee was straight in.
:33:57. > :34:06.REFEREE: back you go, captain, and just having a chat. We will check
:34:07. > :34:15.the initial contact and if there is a reaction afterwards. I heard that.
:34:16. > :34:25.We're looking at the initial contact and if there was any reaction. That
:34:26. > :34:34.was a clumsy challenge. Bosna river 20 left his legs a little bit? Need
:34:35. > :34:44.to have another look at that. Oh, there is a bit from Dario
:34:45. > :34:52.Chistolini. Sion Bennett those in with a chop tackle, with no arms.
:34:53. > :34:55.Dario Chistolini take the law into his own hands and a couple of swings
:34:56. > :35:06.from that right arm. Definitely, the second one had a venom in it. Here
:35:07. > :35:15.is the first thing around his neck. There is the retaliation. I think
:35:16. > :35:25.we're going to have a street that card. He's only been on a matter of
:35:26. > :35:36.seconds. All we need now is a streaker! We've had everything else.
:35:37. > :35:42.REFEREE: blue 20. You ventured into that tackle with no arms, there was
:35:43. > :35:50.velocity in it. Not good enough, it's a yellow card. OK? We've seen
:35:51. > :35:58.the footage, it's not acceptable. That was a punch in the face, a
:35:59. > :36:02.straight red card. An early night for Dario Chistolini. If you see it
:36:03. > :36:07.again, Sion Bennett, technically, his head is below his hips. You
:36:08. > :36:12.cannot then take the law into your own hands and punch somebody in the
:36:13. > :36:16.face. It's a double whammy, really, because since Dario Chistolini has
:36:17. > :36:21.been on, the scrum has been absolutely dominant. A rush of blood
:36:22. > :36:26.from Dario Chistolini. He knew immediately what he had done. He
:36:27. > :36:35.repented it straightaway. But that is too late. He is gone. The man
:36:36. > :36:42.from South Africa will have to sit out the last quarter of an hour.
:36:43. > :36:45.That is a shame to see something like that in the game. It has been
:36:46. > :36:50.an entertaining game with the thrills and spills. Plenty of
:36:51. > :37:00.incidents to talk about, that's for sure. A lot of headshaking going on
:37:01. > :37:04.up there. Well, there's going to be a lot of wide-open space at their
:37:05. > :37:11.now. 40 men. Matthew Morgan is going to get a chance to utilise that
:37:12. > :37:19.space. Rhun Williams of again. Watch out for Matthew Morgan. Good hands
:37:20. > :37:30.from Steve Schindler. Aled Summerhill tracking well.
:37:31. > :37:42.Rey Lee-Lo. Nick Williams loses it and forward but the body spotted it.
:37:43. > :37:54.Steve Shingler the Matthew Morgan. Good tackle. Macauley Cook. You
:37:55. > :37:57.fancy the Blues to get this fourth try it now. 40 minutes is a long,
:37:58. > :38:30.long time in professional rugby. Matthew Morgan. Macauley Cook on the
:38:31. > :38:35.left wing. Scott Andrews. But, great work by Maxime Mbanda. Superb.
:38:36. > :38:42.Edoardo Padovani is more than happy just to buying it down field.
:38:43. > :38:46.They've been good over the ball, they run the gauntlet sometimes,
:38:47. > :38:49.giving penalties away, but Maxime Mbanda in particular, I've been
:38:50. > :38:54.really impressed with Federico Ruzza all over the place. Interceptions,
:38:55. > :39:05.60 yard runs, tackles. He must have had a good shift in.
:39:06. > :39:37.Joshua Furno is coming on. A lens has been dislodged. The
:39:38. > :39:47.medics have to carry everything these days. Straighteners! REFEREE:
:39:48. > :40:01.are you happy enough there? Game on. Some former players enjoying
:40:02. > :40:34.themselves. Spills out of the tackle and the
:40:35. > :40:43.second and the third. Brilliant ball. They needed to go wide. They
:40:44. > :40:48.had a four on one on the outside. Choose the wrong option and it has
:40:49. > :40:56.been their downfall all evening. They've shown real plans is, haven't
:40:57. > :41:03.they? Really good stuff there. Edoardo Padovani, great play. Spins
:41:04. > :41:11.away and misses another tackle from James Down. Dudley at the side.
:41:12. > :41:13.Edoardo Padovani. The decision-making, the object taking
:41:14. > :41:35.really let him down. Kirby Myhill will have a dozen
:41:36. > :41:39.minutes and we will see what difference the seven men in that
:41:40. > :41:45.scrum make for the Zebre because they will really take control of
:41:46. > :41:53.that passage of play before Dario Chistolini literally saw red.
:41:54. > :41:55.Guillermo Roan has come on and we presume he is stronger on the
:41:56. > :42:08.loosehead. Dario Chistolini was a tight head. Theocracy can play both
:42:09. > :42:11.sides but we will see now. Well, he's got seven caps for Argentina so
:42:12. > :42:22.he will enjoy a scrum, that's for sure.
:42:23. > :42:28.Gareth Anscombe finds that of space. And finds the ball back in his
:42:29. > :42:51.hands. So does Aled Summerhill excitedly but then loses it.
:42:52. > :43:07.REFEREE: White, number ten. Edoardo Padovani has gone to outside-half.
:43:08. > :44:15.Kurt Baker on Attenborough 15. But this Joshua Furno. Tommaso
:44:16. > :44:28.Castello is in there, the captain, amongst those forwards. There he
:44:29. > :44:41.goes. Almost unseen among the forwards. That was a hospital pass
:44:42. > :44:53.the Joshua Furno. Gideon Koegelenberg.
:44:54. > :45:16.Maxime Mbanda biding his time, waiting for this moment.
:45:17. > :45:24.It is slow but steady from the Zebre. Oh, until that wild pass. It
:45:25. > :45:31.is going to go anywhere. If you are a Zebre supporter, they just need to
:45:32. > :45:34.bide their time and score a try. A huge moment for them, could put them
:45:35. > :46:00.back in bonus point territory. Edoardo Padovani with a thumping
:46:01. > :46:07.tackle. Andrea Lovotti. 15 phases they've kept the ball. They know
:46:08. > :46:22.they lost it momentarily but they're building it back again. Very, very
:46:23. > :46:32.slow. They know. REFEREE: advantage over. Bike goes Eduardo Bada
:46:33. > :46:47.Edoardo Padovani again. Picture by Gideon Koegelenberg. Tommaso
:46:48. > :46:52.D'Apice. Certainly a live wire, this release and hooker. Replacements
:46:53. > :46:58.have made a difference, haven't they? They've been lively,
:46:59. > :47:02.particularly in the set piece. Only one place they're going here, there
:47:03. > :47:09.are going to rely on a driving maul, they're going to try and get right
:47:10. > :47:14.in the corner and keep giving themselves a chance. They will need
:47:15. > :47:17.seven points. If one point at the moment behind Treviso. They played
:47:18. > :47:22.in next week in the final game in their battle for the Italians but
:47:23. > :47:34.Champions Cup. This is why Zebre are still up for it at the moment.
:47:35. > :47:47.Matteo Pratichetti comes into midfield. Zebre need the big
:47:48. > :47:59.advantage now before Sion Bennett comes back on.
:48:00. > :48:10.Tommaso Castello was right up to the try line. Maxime Mbanda driven back.
:48:11. > :48:21."A second. Has another go at it. So determined from the blindside. Told
:48:22. > :48:27.to get their hands off the ball. Tommaso D'Apice. So close. Right on
:48:28. > :48:44.the try line. Well, it's just a mess at the
:48:45. > :48:52.moment. Slightly overcooked it but they will get a scrum. Pick the
:48:53. > :48:54.bones over that one. I think it might have been Nick Williams who
:48:55. > :49:01.put his body right across everything. The one difference being
:49:02. > :49:18.that now, the Blues are back up to 15 players.
:49:19. > :49:25.With the Dario Chistolini of the field, the scrum was so dominant.
:49:26. > :49:48.But a crucial scrum is is for a Zebre now. And he's off the field.
:49:49. > :49:55.A big round of applause for the departing Tomos Williams, denied a
:49:56. > :50:00.second try and a bonus point which the Blues still haven't got. Lloyd
:50:01. > :50:14.Williams is on to see the job finished. Tommaso Castello packing
:50:15. > :50:19.down on the blindside. The scrum, a major part of the Zebre armoury.
:50:20. > :50:38.Throughout the second half but now they are struggling.
:50:39. > :51:00.Although Pietro Ceccarelli is warming up, he wants to get back on
:51:01. > :51:11.the pitch. Down they go. The referee wants them to play it. Nick Williams
:51:12. > :51:14.make sure he doesn't get very far. Tommaso Castello, he has tried
:51:15. > :51:21.everything as a skipper tonight. Tommaso D'Apice very close again.
:51:22. > :51:31.Guglielmo Palazzani has a go. Now, just short. Maxime Mbanda. Over from
:51:32. > :51:40.close range last time. Not this time. The hint of a knock but play
:51:41. > :51:43.goes on. Andries Van Schalkwyk get over the try line but again, superb
:51:44. > :51:48.defending by the Cardiff Blues to keep them out. Well, great defence
:51:49. > :51:56.from the Blues. So close to the line. They're putting their bodies
:51:57. > :52:01.on the line both sets of players, and they right underneath. Aled
:52:02. > :52:04.Summerhill get right underneath the ball, tries to stretch out and Nick
:52:05. > :52:12.Williams again, he's a Wrecking Ball even without the ball. It's about
:52:13. > :52:14.getting your body in the weights of the TMO cannot see it, that's what
:52:15. > :52:29.that is about export! Your choice from another match?
:52:30. > :52:35.There has not been one outstanding players. Nick Williams, Gareth
:52:36. > :52:39.Anscombe. For me, I'm going to give it to Tomos Williams at nine. Superb
:52:40. > :52:42.effort all round from him. Six servers, a live wire and he should
:52:43. > :52:48.have had a second try but for a logon. Some blends. He is one to
:52:49. > :52:52.watch for the future. He can do things like this so I would expect
:52:53. > :52:56.him to have more game time and really push Lloyd Williams. Lloyd
:52:57. > :52:59.Williams, look out, Tomos Williams is my man of the match. He did
:53:00. > :53:16.everything he could. That slight knock-on from Nick
:53:17. > :53:21.Williams denied Tomos Williams the try and the Blues the bonus point.
:53:22. > :53:30.Unless they get all the way down the field in the remaining minutes and
:53:31. > :53:38.three quarters. Guglielmo Palazzani weights. It is not coming. It is
:53:39. > :53:49.coming for the Blues. He gets there this time, does the? Yes, he does.
:53:50. > :53:57.It is the Zebre who are salivating the third try and a conversion to
:53:58. > :54:04.take them to a bonus point. Well, it's been a concerted effort by that
:54:05. > :54:16.Zebre pack and Andries Van Schalkwyk marks his return with a fifth try of
:54:17. > :54:21.the season. This time, he was just too strong, despite the best efforts
:54:22. > :54:25.of Aled Summerhill. Experience and strength from Andries Van Schalkwyk.
:54:26. > :54:29.Nick Williams and Aled Summerhill were there but this time, the South
:54:30. > :54:53.African born Italian cap number eight gets the ball to the ground.
:54:54. > :55:02.A very important kick, this one for Guglielmo Palazzani. He struck it
:55:03. > :55:06.well. That is a superb kick and the Zebre bench are the limiting because
:55:07. > :55:10.as things stand, but has won them a bonus point and has put them level
:55:11. > :55:21.on points for the season with their rivals of chorizo. -- Treviso.
:55:22. > :55:33.Superb strike. Nerves of steel. From Guglielmo Palazzani. Now they need
:55:34. > :55:38.to hang out one more phase. The Blues need to get their hands on the
:55:39. > :55:42.ball one more time to try and get an unlikely bonus point from what
:55:43. > :55:55.seemed like a nailed on bonus point at one stage. Maxime Mbanda. Well,
:55:56. > :56:00.do they hang on to the bonus point, or they try to go for the win? A
:56:01. > :56:06.converted try it would give them the most unlikely win ever. Only one win
:56:07. > :56:18.in 19 in Wales. It came here in Cardiff. Gideon Koegelenberg.
:56:19. > :56:35.Guglielmo Palazzani. A40. Matteo Pratichetti. Neither side
:56:36. > :56:41.once the ball to go dead. They both have their own reasons for playing
:56:42. > :56:49.on. Bar a mistake, it could be a long night. Eduardo part Vanni gets
:56:50. > :56:54.the return ball. But bigger with a half brick. He is still going, all
:56:55. > :57:00.the way up to the 22. Great tackle, the Morgan. What drama right at the
:57:01. > :57:08.end of the Arms Park. Zebre are in with a chance of winning this one.
:57:09. > :57:13.Maxime Mbanda now. It's all hands in defence of the Blues. James Down
:57:14. > :57:21.wraps around the tackle but Maxime Mbanda sticks it around again.
:57:22. > :57:27.Joshua Furno. The ball, was it forward? No. Play on, city
:57:28. > :57:32.officials. The Blues continue under pressure and Zebre keep on building.
:57:33. > :57:37.The penalty, though, for crossing, goes against them and mighty relief
:57:38. > :57:54.for the Blues fans and players in the end. Gareth Anscombe will put
:57:55. > :58:00.the ball out of play and the Blues finish at home on a winning note.
:58:01. > :58:04.It's just a matter now of whether they go to France or in the England
:58:05. > :58:09.a play-off with the Champions Cup next year. It is the tenth win of
:58:10. > :58:13.the season for the Blues but they had to work hard and they had to dig
:58:14. > :58:20.in against the Zebre who got away with a bonus point. Three tries
:58:21. > :58:27.apiece, it ended. The Cardiff Blues, victorious, by 30 - 20 format.
:58:28. > :58:36.They finish at home with a win. The skipper, Ellis Jenkins, is now
:58:37. > :58:40.talking to fill. Hanging on their habit, how much credit you have to
:58:41. > :58:44.give the Zebre? We knew they would ring that up front. This book is
:58:45. > :58:47.half time about how we needed to step up a level. Fortunately we
:58:48. > :58:54.managed to play into their hands and me it a tough game they wanted. Good
:58:55. > :59:01.luck on that play-off game and fingers crossed for that as well.
:59:02. > :59:05.Frustrating is broadly the words isn't it? Five minutes ago, we were
:59:06. > :59:08.stood at the bottom of the pitch saying the result was never in doubt
:59:09. > :59:14.is the performance overall. At last five minutes, the result was very
:59:15. > :59:20.much in doubt? Until Matthew Morgan dragged Kurt down. In terms of next
:59:21. > :59:23.time, it is one more game for each but for Zebre, they go ahead of
:59:24. > :59:27.Treviso in the race that Italian slot. As last week and will be
:59:28. > :59:31.fantastic. That's what it's all about and that is why the play-offs
:59:32. > :59:34.are there and the European jump and cup places so fair play to Zebre,
:59:35. > :59:38.they deserved for their second-half performance. The keys with a scrum
:59:39. > :59:42.but the Blues got the win and they can look forward to a play-off. They
:59:43. > :59:47.got that guaranteed anyway, the Blues, whether they finish seventh
:59:48. > :59:52.or eight. Eight will defend on whether they play a French side or
:59:53. > :59:55.fingers side and we will now next week and when super Saturday takes
:59:56. > :59:58.place. That is all we have time for the night, it is congratulations the
:59:59. > :00:02.Blues, they have clung on by the skin of their teeth to be the Zebre
:00:03. > :00:04.the night. We have a big area tomorrow and of course, next
