:00:17. > :00:22.We've all been gripped by the Six Nations over the last fortnight, but
:00:23. > :00:28.this weekend international rugby takes a break and focus turns to
:00:29. > :00:32.Pro12. Tonight we are in west Wales as the Scarlets take on Zebre and
:00:33. > :00:34.these boys got themselves back into the top four with the ultimate smash
:00:35. > :00:47.and grab victory in Glasgow. Good pick up by Parkes. Williams! Of
:00:48. > :01:00.the Scarlets are back on level terms. James Davies goes in for it.
:01:01. > :01:05.Brilliant run by Davies. James Davies has Williams on the outside
:01:06. > :01:11.but doesn't need him. He's over for the second. What a win for the
:01:12. > :01:16.Scarlets. That was a huge victory in the context of the league as it
:01:17. > :01:20.meant the Scarlets swapped places with Glasgow, from fifth into
:01:21. > :01:25.fourth, and they will be looking for a bonus point tonight. They are
:01:26. > :01:30.playing the bottom side, Zebre, with just one victory to their name all
:01:31. > :01:39.season. Welcome to Parc y Scarlets, Urreta to be barmy Parc y Scarlets
:01:40. > :01:42.after last week. It is a test. The Scarlets have two of their Wales
:01:43. > :01:49.squad players back, one on the bench and one in the starting line-up. My
:01:50. > :01:55.experience in this league is at this time of year you need a good blend
:01:56. > :02:00.of youth from the local area and good quality overseas players. The
:02:01. > :02:04.Scarlets are adding that to their squad. This is Johnny McNicholl last
:02:05. > :02:10.week, solid under the high ball and a good counter attack. Parkes has
:02:11. > :02:17.been one of the players of the season. Showing responsibility. A
:02:18. > :02:23.crossfield kick to DTH van der Merwe, not playing tonight,
:02:24. > :02:28.unfortunately. Putting young Tom Williams in for the crucial score. A
:02:29. > :02:33.blend of quality from undersea is -- overseas and the quality of youth.
:02:34. > :02:39.DTH van der Merwe not playing tonight he tweaked his and strength.
:02:40. > :02:46.Steffan Evans gets a start. He will be chomping at the bit. He's been
:02:47. > :02:50.off the chicken nuggets for the last four weeks! He's been training with
:02:51. > :02:56.a scientist. He'll be disappointed he didn't play last weekend. He
:02:57. > :03:00.thought he would get a stay -- shot on the big stage, but he didn't. Now
:03:01. > :03:06.he's live on TV to show everybody why he should be there. He'll want
:03:07. > :03:11.the ball in hand and to score a few tries as the Scarlets go after a
:03:12. > :03:17.bonus point. But you have to break them down upfront before you do the
:03:18. > :03:22.fancy stuff. I think the Ospreys had fright last week, leaking ten points
:03:23. > :03:26.in the first half. A banana skin can happen. I used to hate playing
:03:27. > :03:30.against the likes of Zebre and Treviso because they are capable of
:03:31. > :03:35.a big performance and you are always expected to win. The Scarlets need
:03:36. > :03:39.the bonus point. After winning in Glasgow last week, they need to back
:03:40. > :03:44.it up this week and cement themselves in the top four. I'm sure
:03:45. > :03:47.Wayne Pivac has drilled the message into his players.
:03:48. > :03:53.You said in the match programme you need to be on the money mentally.
:03:54. > :03:57.What do you mean? Having the same level of intensity as we have
:03:58. > :04:02.against the bigger sites. It's about playing the game with intensity over
:04:03. > :04:09.80 minutes and being disciplined. Good luck. The teams are about to
:04:10. > :04:15.emerge from the tunnels. The Scarlets have never lost to Zebre.
:04:16. > :04:20.Can they maintain their unbeaten run over tonight's opposition and
:04:21. > :04:25.further cement their place in the Pro12 top four? Lets join our
:04:26. > :04:29.commentators. Conditions excellent for the game
:04:30. > :04:37.this evening. Not too much wind, not as cold as it was in every game last
:04:38. > :04:42.weekend. Zebre, after going ahead against the Ospreys last week, will
:04:43. > :04:46.be looking to see if they're returning players can bolster them
:04:47. > :04:53.and see if they can make any impression at the front of the Pro12
:04:54. > :04:54.table. Andrea De Marchi, the loose end prop, leading them onto the
:04:55. > :05:05.field. Eight Zebre players have been
:05:06. > :05:15.released from the Italian Six Nations squad. Scrum-half Violi was
:05:16. > :05:19.released from international duty. South African winger and New Zealand
:05:20. > :05:31.full-back adding to the international flavour. The Scarlets,
:05:32. > :05:41.fresh from that excellent victory. Aaron Shingler has the pleasure and
:05:42. > :05:48.honour of leading the team out. Two changes upfront to the starting
:05:49. > :05:52.line-up. Phillips at hooker, Beirne in the second row, James Davies
:05:53. > :05:55.fresh from a man of the match performance in Scotland. Steff Evans
:05:56. > :06:00.might not have made the red of Wales, but he's back for the
:06:01. > :06:05.Scarlets instead of van der Merwe. Hughes celebrates his birthday with
:06:06. > :06:14.a start alongside the skipper. Five Daniel International is on the Zebre
:06:15. > :06:20.bench. -- internationals from Italy. Andrew Byrne -- Andrew Brace of
:06:21. > :06:32.Ireland from Ireland is in charge this evening. His 20th game at this
:06:33. > :06:37.level. Dan Jones gets the game underway. Scarlets in the top four
:06:38. > :06:47.position. Zebre rooted to the bottom.
:06:48. > :06:53.Bordoli, the new outside-half, who started against the Ospreys last
:06:54. > :06:58.week, off the bench begins Leinster previously. Johnny McNicholl has
:06:59. > :07:00.settled down into the full-back role lately after starting in the wing
:07:01. > :07:20.having come over from New Zealand. Aaron Shingler, 150th appearance
:07:21. > :07:24.this evening. 100 league games. Immediately the Scarlets are looking
:07:25. > :07:28.for which it. James Davies was outstanding in Glasgow last week.
:07:29. > :07:40.Didn't give Johnny McNicholl much room to move. Will Boyde getting
:07:41. > :07:41.well over the gain line. Loose pass from Tadgh Beirne. Picked up by
:07:42. > :07:59.Phillips. The ball spilt and a chance for a
:08:00. > :08:04.counter for Kurt Baker. From Palmerston North in New Zealand.
:08:05. > :08:15.First breakdown. James Davies winning his team a penalty. Good
:08:16. > :08:21.evening. No secret how the Scarlets want to approach this game. Plenty
:08:22. > :08:26.of width. You've got to be very careful in these games that you do
:08:27. > :08:30.the little jobs well and you do the hard work. Everybody expects the
:08:31. > :08:35.Scarlets to rack up a cricket score tonight, but you have to do the hard
:08:36. > :08:39.work. James Davies starts, 16 turnovers in the league this season.
:08:40. > :08:45.He is so dangerous once he gets into a strong position. Virtually
:08:46. > :08:51.impossible to move. De Marchi just got in to get the ball for Zebre,
:08:52. > :09:04.but it didn't last long. Lots of running off the ball.
:09:05. > :09:13.A change of tactic, meant for Aaron Shingler. The very tall right
:09:14. > :09:23.window, but even he wasn't going to reach that one. -- winger. Took the
:09:24. > :09:28.kick over, but too much weight on it. But good invention. That's what
:09:29. > :09:34.Zebre will do, they will give you opportunities. They will give away
:09:35. > :09:38.penalties. Going straight for the corner. Not sure whether he should
:09:39. > :09:45.take the points or not after last Saturday! They've got to be looking
:09:46. > :09:52.for a bonus point. The top four is so tight. Zebre at home during the
:09:53. > :09:58.Six Nations, you have to go for four tries. Tadgh Beirne takes the
:09:59. > :10:05.line-out. James Davies just collecting it from Philips.
:10:06. > :10:20.Good drive on by the whole pack. Shingler, Beirne, Price. It's gone
:10:21. > :10:28.to ground anyway. Front row forwards just peeling off, ready to carry it
:10:29. > :10:34.up again. Scarlets within seven or eight metres. McNichol was waiting.
:10:35. > :10:44.Went across the face. Just nudged forward before Bellini can take
:10:45. > :10:50.advantage. If you make a brave call, you've got to come away with
:10:51. > :10:55.something. A little bit sloppy. Zebre did really well. Got a little
:10:56. > :11:00.bit sloppy. The one thing Scarlets Dulac is a big ball-carrier to over
:11:01. > :11:05.the gain line. They have explosive men in Boyde and Davies, but nobody
:11:06. > :11:12.to really get over the gain line. Young Will Boyde has been very
:11:13. > :11:16.impressive. 22 years old. Dwayne Peel a few years back, I think he
:11:17. > :11:21.was coaching the Scarlets Academy, and he said he was one to look out
:11:22. > :11:23.for. He got his chance in the Autumn Internationals when James Davies was
:11:24. > :11:38.banned. He's been outstanding. They were running at it at pace and
:11:39. > :11:44.they were looking to use the men they've got in the centre and Steff
:11:45. > :11:49.Evans on the win, but Jones couldn't hang onto it. They are playing in
:11:50. > :11:54.the right areas. Johnny McNicholl and Jonny Evans, he made himself
:11:55. > :11:58.available but got spooked by the defence. Just missing a little bit
:11:59. > :12:02.of detail so far to finish things off, but they are playing in the
:12:03. > :12:04.right area. They need to calm down a bit and go through the phases rather
:12:05. > :12:25.than doing the hard stuff first. Postiglioni manages to get it back.
:12:26. > :12:28.Marcello Violi with aid each -- distant touch finder. Do you feel
:12:29. > :12:34.most of their work will be done on the back foot this evening? Here
:12:35. > :12:41.come the Scarlets again. Lovely eft load to Jonathan Evans. Beirne in
:12:42. > :12:47.support. Steff Hughes to Hadleigh Parkes. James Davies on the wing.
:12:48. > :13:00.It's all quick tempo stuff from the Scarlets. Boyde. The ball is there
:13:01. > :13:07.again for the home team. Tadgh Beirne driving on.
:13:08. > :13:17.Untidy for Jonathan Evans. The forwards have to go in, led by
:13:18. > :13:20.Werner Kruger. Great player initially, great awareness from
:13:21. > :13:26.McNicholl. The ball went off the field of play. Zebre bit slow on the
:13:27. > :13:30.chase and give this man half an opportunity and he's away. This is
:13:31. > :13:34.what he can do in open space. Great big celebration and great footwork,
:13:35. > :13:38.and a nice off-load at the end to keep the play going. A little bit
:13:39. > :13:42.sloppy in the contact area further on, but good signs from the
:13:43. > :13:47.Scarlets. They are getting into really good areas and just missing
:13:48. > :13:52.out on the last pass. They are getting into these areas, they just
:13:53. > :13:54.have to make a few passes stick. A bit more patience and it will be
:13:55. > :14:11.points on the board. Ruzza with the feed. Violi. Wants to
:14:12. > :14:17.put it further in the stand this time. Bounces off the advertising
:14:18. > :14:22.hoardings! Very unlucky from the scrum-half. Went through greater
:14:23. > :14:26.depth, but that time hit the advertising hoardings so it allowed
:14:27. > :14:32.McNicholl to go for the quick one again. Screaming at the scrum-half,
:14:33. > :14:36.put it into Row Z, don't give them a chance to counter attack. That time
:14:37. > :14:41.it good tackle by Baker on Steff Evans to dislodge the ball. They are
:14:42. > :14:48.going to try to play like this all night. High tempo. Keep the ball in
:14:49. > :14:51.play. Taia out the Italians. Let them test their discipline because
:14:52. > :14:59.they do give away penalties. Just need to be more efficient in the
:15:00. > :15:03.contact areas. This Italian team are coming here low on confidence. By
:15:04. > :15:07.putting the ball on the touchline, keeping them on the back foot will
:15:08. > :15:11.tomorrow lies them more. They just need points on the board to get
:15:12. > :15:15.their heads down. They've only had one win this year, away in
:15:16. > :15:19.Edinburgh. They need to keep punching it forward, don't let Zebre
:15:20. > :15:29.get anywhere near their half and it could be a torrid time for them. The
:15:30. > :15:34.scrums have been really good. Andrew Brace saying they have been an even
:15:35. > :15:45.contest. We haven't had any resets yet. Tempting fate! Guess what is
:15:46. > :16:02.about to happen? No, that was steady enough for the ball to get away.
:16:03. > :16:11.Koegelenberg, the South African second row, but the ball back with
:16:12. > :16:20.the Scarlets. Still alive. Pressure on Bellini. The dry has come, has
:16:21. > :16:25.it? -- try. I think it just came off Tom Williams. A cracking kick and
:16:26. > :16:36.the bounce of the ball, he didn't know where it was coming from.
:16:37. > :16:42.Horrible bounce. The winger in No Man's Land. McNicholl and Williams
:16:43. > :16:48.getting in each other's way. But great play from Steff Hughes earlier
:16:49. > :16:50.on. A mix-up in the Zebre midfield and his off-load created space for
:16:51. > :17:35.Parkes to put in the kick. Good work by Ruzza. But even then,
:17:36. > :17:38.the kick was a little bit rushed. Rushed, but he hasn't given the
:17:39. > :17:45.Scarlets an opportunity to take a quick throw in. This is what Zebre
:17:46. > :17:47.want. They have to take the tempo out of the Scarlets. Kicks into Row
:17:48. > :18:06.Z is what they need. Tom Price. Penalty coming to the Scarlets.
:18:07. > :18:28.Zebre came in from the side. They can't work the final pass for
:18:29. > :18:37.anybody in space. Detached and back in the side, three.
:18:38. > :18:55.Dan Jones has started the last three games now for the Scarlets. Aled
:18:56. > :19:06.Thomas on the bench and Steff Evans stepping up to take the place of DTH
:19:07. > :19:09.van der Merwe. Shingler supplies and Emyr Phillips controls. Edging
:19:10. > :19:25.towards that try line. Next pod or forwards led by Will
:19:26. > :19:31.Boyde. Right up to the try line. James Davies tries to bustle his way
:19:32. > :19:36.over. Jonathan Evans. They are so close now. Parkes twists and thinks
:19:37. > :19:41.better about going for the try himself. Kept alive and flicked on,
:19:42. > :19:47.and just about enough room for Steff Evans to squeeze in the corner. He
:19:48. > :19:57.kept his feet in the air. I think he hit the post, but it's OK if he did.
:19:58. > :20:02.A possible foot in touch initially on the touchline. Any reason why I
:20:03. > :20:07.can't award the try? Any reason why we can't award the try, potential
:20:08. > :20:19.foot in touch. Have a look at Evans's left leg? Where was it when
:20:20. > :20:44.the ball was put down? That's OK. Flicking the post. It's a try.
:20:45. > :20:56.Get the ball down. On the first one, with his white boots... I thought
:20:57. > :21:01.he'd hit the touchline, but it's the try all day long. He'll be happy
:21:02. > :21:09.with that. He's been twiddling his thumbs. Full of adrenaline in the
:21:10. > :21:11.last few weeks and off he goes. I have the decision. You may award the
:21:12. > :21:25.try. Decision confirmed. A fine finish by
:21:26. > :21:29.Steff Evans and the Scarlets are on the board. You can't say it wasn't
:21:30. > :21:35.coming, the whole 12 minutes has been in the Zebre half and the Zebre
:21:36. > :21:44.22. They kept their patients. Good defence by Zebre but they ran out of
:21:45. > :21:48.numbers. Used to Evans and a quality finish because there wasn't much
:21:49. > :21:53.room to work in. Nothing less than they deserve, the Scarlets. They'd
:21:54. > :21:55.turned down an opportunity to kick three points. Eventually they got
:21:56. > :22:19.over in the left-hand corner. Beautifully struck kick by Dan Jones
:22:20. > :22:35.and five becomes seven. Good work by Hadleigh Parkes and a
:22:36. > :22:41.lovely flicked on by Steff Hughes. A great finish by Steff Evans. The
:22:42. > :22:46.Scarlets have been threatening, they've been putting the ball flat
:22:47. > :22:50.and it hasn't quite stuck, but now it's stuck. They have confidence and
:22:51. > :22:56.now they have to make sure Zebre don't get back into the game.
:22:57. > :23:10.That's just what you want from a restart. Nice take, excellent kick.
:23:11. > :23:13.He was just finding his feet, Parkes, but Dan Jones has stepped up
:23:14. > :23:20.and played really, really well since taking over the ten jersey. A little
:23:21. > :23:27.bit disappointed with the pressure Zebre didn't put on the Scarlets.
:23:28. > :23:29.Awful kick off. They are the small things, the basics, which is why it
:23:30. > :23:52.Zebre bottom of the league. Penalty. Guess who. 15 minutes gone,
:23:53. > :23:57.two turnovers already. That was down to Steff Hughes come he went down
:23:58. > :24:00.and ripped the ball. He's sniffing about the breakdown and straight
:24:01. > :24:08.over to win another penalty for the Scarlets.
:24:09. > :24:19.Overhit. That's a big disappointment for the Scarlets. Perhaps a bit
:24:20. > :24:23.overconfident. He's just nailed a conversion and nailed a clearance
:24:24. > :24:28.kick from the kick-off. Perhaps went for a little bit too much. Sometimes
:24:29. > :24:33.I don't mind people having a go at that. They want the five yard
:24:34. > :24:37.lineout. He just missed it. If he gets it just inside the post, they
:24:38. > :24:39.have a hell of a line-out. You win some and lose some. A gamble that
:24:40. > :25:10.didn't pay off. McNicholl looking for the gap
:25:11. > :25:23.created by the chase. Bordoli is back there. The kick charged down.
:25:24. > :25:29.Tom Williams. The Scarlets looking to spread it as quickly as possible.
:25:30. > :25:35.Dan Jones sees the drifting defence and steps back inside them.
:25:36. > :25:57.Looking for the past to his winger but it was cut out. The break is on.
:25:58. > :26:03.Has he overcooked it? Just the wrong side of the post for Giulio Bisegni!
:26:04. > :26:10.Did everything except get the bounce of the ball. Easy to say from up
:26:11. > :26:15.here, but I thought he had time to pick it up and run it in. The
:26:16. > :26:20.closest man to him was his own player. You could see what Hughes
:26:21. > :26:27.was going for. From here, the alarm bells are ringing. He's rushed that
:26:28. > :26:33.kick. He had time to look around him. You would think an Italian
:26:34. > :26:38.would have better football skills! The Scarlets got away with one
:26:39. > :26:47.because that was a good opportunity for Zebre. Zebre are just giving the
:26:48. > :26:52.Scarlets and Ainge whenever they kick the ball. No one chasing kicks
:26:53. > :26:57.or putting pressure on. Dan Jones will be happy if that's the case all
:26:58. > :27:04.night, if he's given an armchair ride. I think he'll chuffed. He did
:27:05. > :27:20.have far more time than he thought. Shingler... Good presence of mind
:27:21. > :27:27.just take the ball as well. James Davies arrives support. Did he throw
:27:28. > :27:32.that or not? Very, very close. Brilliant work from Aaron Shingler.
:27:33. > :27:37.Has James Davies rounded it off? Reaction from the players is the
:27:38. > :27:42.first thing you look at. He's not convinced. You know as a player...
:27:43. > :27:50.Andrew Brace was about to give it. I think he's lost this. Let's have a
:27:51. > :27:51.look. He's lost it come he's dropped it. You could tell straightaway from
:27:52. > :28:09.his reaction. Obviously got very stumpy hands! If
:28:10. > :28:13.it backed himself to go in the corner, he would have got in with
:28:14. > :28:19.his pace and power. But stepped inside. Great work by Shingler,
:28:20. > :28:24.showed his pace and footballing ability. I thought he might have put
:28:25. > :28:32.another side foot to that to go over the line, but fantastic bit of
:28:33. > :28:38.skill. Sloppy from Zebre. Great weight to the kick as well.
:28:39. > :28:44.Composure to keep it. Great play by Emyr Phillips, back yourself a bit.
:28:45. > :28:51.I would have fancied him to get over in the corner, Davies, but he
:28:52. > :28:57.stepped inside and lost it. Took his head guard off for a second and he's
:28:58. > :29:09.sporting a very fruity haircut tonight!
:29:10. > :29:18.Looks like Federico Ruzza is going to have to do a lot of that this
:29:19. > :29:24.evening. A slowly at -- solid platform to come off the back of.
:29:25. > :29:26.Nice to watch a game 20 minutes in, a lot of scrums but they've all come
:29:27. > :29:41.away cleanly. Emyr Phillips, struggling. That is a
:29:42. > :29:48.real shame, he is a top player. He has just been dogged by injuries.
:29:49. > :29:52.His right sock is down and here's grimacing. He did very well to link
:29:53. > :29:57.up in that way. He gave the past that could have been a tribal James
:29:58. > :30:00.Davies. A shame, he has been a fantastic player. Blighted by
:30:01. > :30:20.injury. Shingler had a juggle and Jones did
:30:21. > :30:27.the cleaning up work to make sure it remains in Scarlets hands.
:30:28. > :31:14.Schindler is getting more and more in the action. -- Shingler.
:31:15. > :31:24.Zebre are keeping their shape defensively. But as the phases build
:31:25. > :31:33.up, the Scarlets will be looking for a mismatch somewhere.
:31:34. > :31:53.Lost patience abet, there. Steff Hughes has regathered.
:31:54. > :32:13.Gives Zebre credit, they had to defend for probably a dozen phases.
:32:14. > :32:20.Great feet from Steff Evans. Good angle from Tom Williams. Really got
:32:21. > :32:23.to look after the ball, there is no need for a miracle of load. They
:32:24. > :32:32.just keep hold of it, go through the phases. While there is a break in
:32:33. > :32:38.play, Phil has gone on a wonder. I am with one of the members of the
:32:39. > :32:40.coaching staff of Zebre, how does pointing was it that you didn't get
:32:41. > :32:46.something on the ball with the breakaway? Unfortunately, the soccer
:32:47. > :32:49.skills let down a bit. Just disappointing he wasn't aware there
:32:50. > :32:54.was nobody around him to pick it up and go and score. That is obviously
:32:55. > :32:58.something that has happened. We have to be a little bit more discipline.
:32:59. > :33:03.We have given away too many penalties. We need to work harder on
:33:04. > :33:07.the breakdown. When we have the ball, we need to keep it and use it.
:33:08. > :33:10.We have given them an easy ball and they are counterattacking all the
:33:11. > :33:17.time. We need to look forward and make the mistakes right. Good to be
:33:18. > :33:18.back? It was a long time ago, but it was a privilege to play for this
:33:19. > :33:32.fantastic club. There is the one solid aspect of
:33:33. > :33:36.Zebre's game. The scrum. Did come under increasing pressure there. I'm
:33:37. > :33:40.not sure if that is a sign of things to come.
:33:41. > :33:50.A bit over casual from the Scarlets. Really sloppy. Plenty of time. Just
:33:51. > :33:56.a lack of communication. It has given Zebre and easy out. I was just
:33:57. > :34:02.going to mention, it is deja vu will stop scrum to Zebre, clearance kick,
:34:03. > :34:09.should not let the ball bounce. Johnny McNicholl expecting it. I am
:34:10. > :34:13.sure there will be messages coming on saying to go back to basics, but
:34:14. > :34:19.they will know that anyway. They are trying to be too cute at times. It
:34:20. > :34:23.is just one they have tried to force it, the mistakes are happening. Get
:34:24. > :34:46.the ball into the right area. Bellini gets in the corner. Very
:34:47. > :34:52.simple, but very effective rugby from Zebre. Use a simple, but it was
:34:53. > :34:56.just great angles, great off-loads, all from sloppy play by the
:34:57. > :35:04.Scarlets. They had Zebre and all sorts of pressure. Only their second
:35:05. > :35:16.chance. But look at the angle from 13, great angle. You can say it is
:35:17. > :35:28.poor defence. But it was a great angle. He threaded that pass. Target
:35:29. > :35:31.extremely well. The try that they squandered, they could be right in
:35:32. > :35:34.the game, even though they don't deserve to be. The breakaways, that
:35:35. > :35:40.is where the Italian teams get amongst it, and they put the points
:35:41. > :35:44.on the board. Good attacking of the inside shoulder by ten and 13. Space
:35:45. > :36:05.on the outside for the winger. Very well found by Bisegni.
:36:06. > :36:14.Good strike from Violi. 25 minutes dominated by the Scarlets, all
:36:15. > :36:29.square. Very well worked try. Bordoli
:36:30. > :36:34.attacking first. By sexy doing the same. The finish from Bellini. Tom
:36:35. > :36:43.Williams, just driven out by Bordoli. He nearly made amends for
:36:44. > :36:49.himself. He has had a tough couple of minutes, Williams. But it bounces
:36:50. > :36:54.straight into his hands. Nothing else he can do, really. Just touch
:36:55. > :36:58.to keep hold of the ball. His only option was to cut inside and take
:36:59. > :37:07.the tackle. He had no angle to work with.
:37:08. > :37:20.Not straight, it was directed at Joshua Furno.
:37:21. > :37:25.That is the banana skin of these teams. You put all of the pressure
:37:26. > :37:33.on them, the Scarlets have been camping in the 22 and it is 7-7.
:37:34. > :37:36.They could have have the extra try as well. You have to be aware of
:37:37. > :37:52.that when you are playing teams like this.
:37:53. > :38:00.You are getting ahead of me. Wait for my call, please. Take the
:38:01. > :38:04.pressure off. Most of the scrums have been Zebre scrums. As Martin
:38:05. > :38:09.said, they have all been played away from, pretty neat and tidy. Every
:38:10. > :38:12.now and then they have had a show. It is what everybody wants to see,
:38:13. > :38:38.the ball being played away and clean.
:38:39. > :38:45.Now, a chance, if they go left. They were narrow initially. They have a
:38:46. > :38:51.chance to reform, Shingler pops out. The referee is playing an advantage.
:38:52. > :39:12.Well read, by Bisegni. It was a dynamic tackle, you must
:39:13. > :39:17.release and move. Sympathy for him, he thought he had gone in, but he
:39:18. > :39:25.said it was just a tackle. He has just stayed there, thinking it is a
:39:26. > :39:30.maul. They've got to come away with something, the Scarlets.
:39:31. > :40:03.Parkes is the go to man. Jonathan Evans to Alan Shingler, and it is as
:40:04. > :40:12.easy as that. They are lined up for some fancy play, and it was just a
:40:13. > :40:18.hardline from Parkes and from Shingler towards the ruck. A strong
:40:19. > :40:27.curry again from Parkes. Clean ball. -- carry. Defending the inside of
:40:28. > :40:34.the ruck, getting the inside of the scrum. Too easy at this level. One
:40:35. > :40:36.ruck, they have done nothing fancy at all. It is a simple ball back
:40:37. > :40:51.inside, no defenders. I don't know what he was doing, I
:40:52. > :40:55.would have been pretending to do my shoelaces up. Even when he saw the
:40:56. > :40:59.ball, he didn't make that big an effort. A good play, they exploited
:41:00. > :41:03.it and came back, against the run of play. He will have analysed it,
:41:04. > :41:10.seeing if there were spaces. Well taken by Shingler. He has had a very
:41:11. > :41:21.busy first half. Easy conversion. Let's go back to fill. You turn down
:41:22. > :41:26.the penalty, is that your intent? We have to back it up by executing and
:41:27. > :41:29.going through the phases, perhaps not forcing the ball. We have
:41:30. > :41:38.dropped ourselves in trouble. In the end, we conceded a try. There is
:41:39. > :41:42.plenty we need to get right. How much of a nudge is the fact that
:41:43. > :41:47.they scored the try? Might do the lads good. We put ourselves in
:41:48. > :41:51.pressure by putting the ball over the 22. I think it is probably the
:41:52. > :41:57.first time they had been in our half, and they come away with seven
:41:58. > :41:58.points. That is a big focus. Not that you were happy to concede the
:41:59. > :42:56.try, just checking! Ruzza certainly seems to be the
:42:57. > :43:04.liveliest of the forwards for Zebre this evening.
:43:05. > :43:16.That is Lloys Greeff, the South African, on the wing.
:43:17. > :43:24.Scarlets, defending on or about the 22. Zebre, making no progress.
:43:25. > :43:32.The longest they have been in possession.
:43:33. > :43:46.Ruzza again making his presence felt. The number eight is the one
:43:47. > :44:12.that is carrying Zebre at the moment.
:44:13. > :44:18.Tadhg Beirne, anybody chasing up after it? Tom Williams is.
:44:19. > :44:28.He takes it on the half volley, and that is a great try. Tadhg Beirne
:44:29. > :44:31.will talk long and hard about his past downfield, but the pace and
:44:32. > :44:35.presence of Tom Williams gives Scarlets a breakaway third try. Talk
:44:36. > :44:39.about bouncing around people, it bounced perfectly for Tom Williams.
:44:40. > :44:48.It could have gone anywhere. Tadhg Beirne reads it well. This could
:44:49. > :44:54.have gone anywhere, but it is straight into Tom Williams' hands.
:44:55. > :45:01.Good place to get away. First, Shingler, showing the footwork. And
:45:02. > :45:06.then Beirne, a cultured right foot. Just put side spin on that, just to
:45:07. > :45:10.put it into his path. Fantastic finish. Against the run of play.
:45:11. > :45:14.These are the sort of scores that break the away team down. They come
:45:15. > :45:17.here, bottom of the league, that is what put their heads down, the first
:45:18. > :45:26.bit of pressure that Zebre really hard. He is lucky he didn't catch it
:45:27. > :45:31.properly, otherwise it would have gone somewhere else. That bounced
:45:32. > :45:34.perfectly. Zebre looked dangerous with the ball in hand, they were
:45:35. > :45:38.going through phases really well. That is what you need to do, keep
:45:39. > :45:44.your discipline, trust your defence. Then you will force a mistake. A try
:45:45. > :45:45.in Glasgow last week, following a try to take the Scarlets within a
:45:46. > :46:03.bonus point for Tom Williams. They can relax a little bit, five
:46:04. > :46:04.minutes to go of the first half and they have three of the four
:46:05. > :46:19.necessary tries in the bank. You say relax, we did a game last
:46:20. > :46:24.year, very similar to Treviso, they could not get it over and it cost
:46:25. > :46:30.them the top four. Just got to keep their foot to the floor.
:46:31. > :46:45.He will be pretty happy with the way things are going so far.
:46:46. > :47:04.That is a great take, a superb one-handed take by Tommaso Boni.
:47:05. > :47:23.Derick Minnie, with the drive. Boni again, a couple of caps for Italy.
:47:24. > :47:28.And the inside centre, Tommaso D'Apice.
:47:29. > :47:34.Bisect me has looked busy this evening. They do have some nice
:47:35. > :47:42.lines behind. They just struggle for the killer pass. --
:47:43. > :48:00.I am not sure what Violi was aiming for.
:48:01. > :48:26.Next time you step across, it is a free kick.
:48:27. > :48:45.He really caught the eye in the first half for Zebre. Only 22 years
:48:46. > :48:50.old. A very accomplished player, Frederick reserve. -- Frederico
:48:51. > :49:15.Rosa. Wyn Jones, the loosehead, getting
:49:16. > :49:17.some attention. The other game being played this evening, Leinster are
:49:18. > :49:38.leading Edinburgh by 8-0. Leinster, in third, one spot above
:49:39. > :49:43.the Scarlets. A couple of big games this weekend. Ospreys and Munster,
:49:44. > :49:46.the top two. Really looking forward to that one. Not only are they in
:49:47. > :49:55.first and second, they are in really good form.
:49:56. > :50:05.A lot of the Welsh boys in and around the squad.
:50:06. > :50:21.A grown of disappointment. That will be frustrating. A bit sloppy, with
:50:22. > :50:22.ball in hand. No pressure at all. A poor exit. It gives a Zebre
:50:23. > :50:33.something to bite on. He will not be happy with that,
:50:34. > :50:45.Stephen Jones. I'm not sure if they have decided about Johnny McNicholl,
:50:46. > :50:49.is he a 12, a 14? What we have seen of him, he plays a lot on the wing.
:50:50. > :50:53.It's a different sort of game in the northern hemisphere. A lot of the
:50:54. > :50:55.boys coming up take a while to find their feet. A quality player, no
:50:56. > :51:08.doubt about that. Jonathan Evans, with a clearance
:51:09. > :51:37.kick. He should have given that. It is the
:51:38. > :51:41.small decision-making from the Italians that has left them down.
:51:42. > :52:00.Bellini was screaming for it on the outside.
:52:01. > :52:05.Turned over by the Scarlets. The attack have been very good in the
:52:06. > :52:16.contact area. Only one player there, this is
:52:17. > :52:24.pressure. Josh Furno, he could have done with
:52:25. > :52:36.a big welly into the stands. You want to keep on playing until
:52:37. > :52:41.somebody gets a score or makes a mistake.
:52:42. > :52:47.Surely now the Scarlets will say we're not going to run from 80
:52:48. > :52:54.metres. That will do. Three tries will do is nicely in the first 40.
:52:55. > :52:59.That is what they've got. They have run every opportunity they have had.
:53:00. > :53:04.They have given away a try, but they are leading at half-time by 21-7. I
:53:05. > :53:15.think they should be quite happy. We will find out now. Are you
:53:16. > :53:18.reasonably happy? Yes, I think so. It probably doesn't help, giving the
:53:19. > :53:26.ball away to them. Hopefully we can just keep the pressure. The hack on
:53:27. > :53:27.from Tadhg Beirne, a planned move customer Yes, straight off the
:53:28. > :53:39.training fields! So, an early start for Steff Evans.
:53:40. > :53:46.Straight back in from the Wales squad. Straight over the line. Then
:53:47. > :53:55.some enterprising play from Zebre. Mattia Bellini over the line. Panic
:53:56. > :53:58.stations, perhaps. So many opportunities spurned until that
:53:59. > :54:03.point. A lovely hard from our Aaron Shingler.
:54:04. > :54:11.A hack from Tadhg Beirne, great pace from Tom Williams to cross the line.
:54:12. > :54:15.Fantastic finish from the winger. The Scarlets comfortable at
:54:16. > :54:20.half-time, 21-7 is the half-time score. Ian, it was looking worrying
:54:21. > :54:25.at one stage. So many handling errors. When Zebre got down, they
:54:26. > :54:28.took their chances? Scarlets were camped out in the 22, they were
:54:29. > :54:34.trying things that didn't seem to be on. There were not quite sticking
:54:35. > :54:37.the passes. I thought there were very lucky that Zebre did not pick
:54:38. > :54:42.the ball when they made that break to the try. It was a lot more time
:54:43. > :54:45.than they thought. They will be happy with the scoreline, but it
:54:46. > :54:50.didn't really tell a tale of what happened. What did you put that down
:54:51. > :54:54.to? We talked about how the Scarlets have never lost to Zebre. Maybe a
:54:55. > :54:59.touch of complacency? They have been uncharacteristically sloppy. It
:55:00. > :55:04.could be complacency, it is quite cold. It could be anything. They are
:55:05. > :55:08.possibly trying a bit hard. They are trying to go through some patterns.
:55:09. > :55:13.They could have put the game to bed by now, you know? Crucial areas in
:55:14. > :55:22.the 22, it has really cost them. They have taken three chances. I'm
:55:23. > :55:28.sure at half-time, Wayne Pivac will consolidate. We talked about how
:55:29. > :55:32.hungry Steff Evans will be. He has been after everything, hunting for
:55:33. > :55:36.that ball and got his reward? I thought he would counterattack at
:55:37. > :55:39.the end. This came from a line-out. This is preplanned, they go for the
:55:40. > :55:45.middle row now and then they go inside and outside clean. They go
:55:46. > :55:49.again. This is preplanned. Hadleigh Parkes has to be coming on the third
:55:50. > :55:54.phase. If he doesn't score then you can bet money they have an overlap
:55:55. > :55:58.on the outside. A great spot by the defender. A little bit of luck and a
:55:59. > :56:04.bounce. This was a great finish. Got his feet in the air did really well.
:56:05. > :56:08.If fares doesn't score, you have to take your chance. Take a bit of
:56:09. > :56:13.depth, and, as you say, a classy finish from the winger. We have
:56:14. > :56:19.talked about missed opportunities, let's look at some of them. They
:56:20. > :56:24.could be out of sight by now? There were two tries they left out. I was
:56:25. > :56:33.willing him over. I think I said if he had my size hands he would be OK.
:56:34. > :56:35.It was a hard one, if he had three of them, the ball was flying
:56:36. > :56:41.everywhere. They worked the ball. This is one where the footballing
:56:42. > :56:44.skills let them down. They took one attacker out and he had a fair bit
:56:45. > :56:51.more time. You have gone to a different clip and I don't know
:56:52. > :56:54.where I am. Aaron Shingler showed great athleticism. On another day he
:56:55. > :57:02.would have put that down. He was probably trying to force it down.
:57:03. > :57:09.Emyr Phillips put that down, let down by small hands, maybe. Is that
:57:10. > :57:14.a Donald Trump reference? Zebre, whenever they got into the 22 or the
:57:15. > :57:19.half, they looked threatening. On one occasion, with the Bellini
:57:20. > :57:26.tried, they pulled it off. A bit of analysis, what this scrum half
:57:27. > :57:33.needs, he just checks and Shingler isn't there. It forces Hadleigh
:57:34. > :57:38.Parkes in. It leaves Tom Williams in no man's land. He's got two choices.
:57:39. > :57:47.McNicholl needs to take the man with the ball. It is well worked, just
:57:48. > :57:52.subtle discrepancies. A good side will capitalise on that. Both second
:57:53. > :57:57.rows get too close. This is where they get lazy. You need them to fold
:57:58. > :58:01.in on the short side. This is preplanned, really well executed, on
:58:02. > :58:05.the narrow side. The Scarlets responded really quickly. Tadhg
:58:06. > :58:10.Beirne, as we have been discussing, I'm not sure Swansea City will
:58:11. > :58:13.invite him for a trial. But it ultimately lead to a cracking try
:58:14. > :58:24.because of Tom Williams' positioning awareness and pace? The mistake
:58:25. > :58:29.happened, really chancing where to put the side spin on. It bounced
:58:30. > :58:34.straight into his hands. A great finish, he had some heat on him. He
:58:35. > :58:42.will be asking him for some beers tonight. Doesn't he look the part?
:58:43. > :58:48.Tall, looks quick and strong. Whenever he has put on the Scarlets
:58:49. > :58:53.shirt, he has made an impression. He could play up, I think. He has made
:58:54. > :58:58.some mistakes, but who knows where the line is. He almost resurrected
:58:59. > :59:02.his career since he came to the Scarlets. He has looked ever alert,
:59:03. > :59:06.like you said? He does look comfortable, he came off his wing,
:59:07. > :59:10.to the other side. You have seen him and Steph Evans and hacking
:59:11. > :59:14.together. I think you might get another one. We will see in the
:59:15. > :59:21.second half. Phil Steele has found in the crowd. He has only just come
:59:22. > :59:25.out of the ice Bath after last week's game, what did you think? All
:59:26. > :59:31.right, a bit scrappy, but we look comfortable. Disappointed conceding
:59:32. > :59:34.a try off a set piece, but I am sure there will be more opportunities.
:59:35. > :59:40.What did you think of the Tom Williams try? It was good, a bit of
:59:41. > :59:45.a hack through, makes a habit of scoring at the moment. Tied up with
:59:46. > :59:49.the Welsh squad, how important is it for you whether to stay in the top
:59:50. > :59:54.four, when you come back you are ready to go again? We have a good
:59:55. > :59:57.squad, more so maybe then we had for the last couple of seasons. The boys
:59:58. > :00:01.are doing well when we go away. It is massive for us that we make the
:00:02. > :00:07.top four. I think we are definitely good enough to win some silverware
:00:08. > :00:11.this season. Well said, have a good run in Murrayfield.
:00:12. > :00:18.Great to hear from the Scott Williams. Big game for him and his
:00:19. > :00:26.Welsh colleagues at Murrayfield next weekend. Plenty to talk about.
:00:27. > :00:31.We are just two rounds into the Six Nations and it's already delivered
:00:32. > :00:35.some heart stopping encounters. With a Lion storm looming, everyone is
:00:36. > :00:39.trying to catch the eye of the main man. Stuart Hogg is playing all
:00:40. > :00:45.right. He missed a few tackles last week so he'll be looking at
:00:46. > :00:50.improving his defensive staff. Join us on Sunday as we move find out
:00:51. > :00:57.who's made Martin Williams's Lions 15 and we look ahead to the crunch
:00:58. > :01:05.match in Murrayfield. All that to come on Scrum V 's Sunday and
:01:06. > :01:10.there's another round of Pro12 fixtures to analyse. Leinster are
:01:11. > :01:17.beating Edinburgh at the moment. Some cracking fixtures tomorrow. A
:01:18. > :01:22.massive clash at the Liberty Stadium. Top of the table clash,
:01:23. > :01:28.first against second as the Ospreys welcome monster. They'll be looking
:01:29. > :01:37.for revenge after heavy defeat in November. -- Munster. Cracking game
:01:38. > :01:41.in prospect. First against second. They are going to be heavy upfront
:01:42. > :01:49.and Munster will come with a big back and try to take on the Ospreys.
:01:50. > :01:53.They carry upfront in a number of different ways. Thrusting the
:01:54. > :01:58.middleman forward. You have to watch the ninth. And then the kick and go,
:01:59. > :02:03.which is a really good variety of forward play that Munster have. The
:02:04. > :02:08.Ospreys have been working on a tactic to counter this. The double
:02:09. > :02:14.tackle. I have some Scarlets Academy boys to show you. They will pass off
:02:15. > :02:18.the deck and fit the middleman. What the Ospreys will try to do is have
:02:19. > :02:23.one tackle coming in low under the ball and a second man coming high
:02:24. > :02:29.over the top to smother the ball. Then they will try to thrust them
:02:30. > :02:35.forward. That may stop the attack Munster have. There is a problem for
:02:36. > :02:42.the defender. He has to watch this inside guy as well as push off. If
:02:43. > :02:46.this nine scoops, he has to trap him in so it frees up some Munster
:02:47. > :02:51.players. The nine is always a threat. If he watches his man too
:02:52. > :02:56.much, through will go the ninth. It's a crucial area of the game
:02:57. > :03:02.tomorrow. If the Ospreys defence can get it right, I reckon they will
:03:03. > :03:08.take it and go top. Lovely stuff. If Sean sounded out of breath, he had
:03:09. > :03:12.to sprint from the halfway line to under the posts! The Scarlets
:03:13. > :03:17.players will also be out of breath. They are in the changing room
:03:18. > :03:22.getting messages from the coaches. Some interesting stats. Scarlets
:03:23. > :03:29.well ahead, they've had the Lions share of possession, but not great
:03:30. > :03:33.on the handling errors. They are dropping balls uncharacteristically,
:03:34. > :03:38.they will want to tighten that up in the second half. Despite not firing
:03:39. > :03:42.on all cylinders, you look at the scoreboard, 21-7 and comfortable.
:03:43. > :03:48.They'll be happy with that. The Ospreys would have been happy with
:03:49. > :03:54.that last week, 10-0 at half-time. Not panic stations yet. They are
:03:55. > :03:59.lucky the one try wasn't converted. He will be saying back to basics.
:04:00. > :04:06.Get the territory, keep possession in the 22 and just have a bit of
:04:07. > :04:12.patience. More tries will come. Got your breath back, Sean? Lovely run
:04:13. > :04:17.up the touchline. Still got it. Talking about the Scarlets going
:04:18. > :04:22.back to basics. They are one try from a bonus point. They have to get
:04:23. > :04:27.that bonus point because Glasgow play Ulster tomorrow. They are fifth
:04:28. > :04:32.and sixth. The Scarlets can open up a gap between them and the teams
:04:33. > :04:37.beneath them with a bonus point. All the top boys will take a bonus point
:04:38. > :04:41.at home against Zebre. They have plenty of time, a whole half to get
:04:42. > :04:46.a tried and that's the most important thing. Don't force it, it
:04:47. > :04:54.will come. Get the territory and take your jumps. The second half is
:04:55. > :05:01.about to get underway. Let's rejoined the commentators.
:05:02. > :05:05.Thanks. We caught a glimpse of a couple of substitutes, wearing 21
:05:06. > :05:14.for the Scarlets, Aled Davies. And the experienced Valerio earn our bow
:05:15. > :05:23.replaces Josh Furno for Zebre. -- Valerio Bernabo. Bordoli to start
:05:24. > :05:29.the second half. Scarlets, three tries to one to the good. Amongst
:05:30. > :05:35.all the stats produced these days, an interesting one in the first
:05:36. > :05:39.half. Scarlets didn't concede a single penalty. We have the Zebre
:05:40. > :05:44.coaching staff just across from us and they weren't happy with that.
:05:45. > :05:49.5-0 penalty count. Not to give away a penalty in the first half, Pivac
:05:50. > :06:06.and the Scarlets coaching staff will be very, very happy with that.
:06:07. > :06:12.Sean mentioned getting the bonus point try, they will want it as
:06:13. > :06:20.early as possible and put this game to bed.
:06:21. > :06:24.Same standards, take the pressure off, wait for the ball. Clear? Thank
:06:25. > :06:48.you. All the scrums in the first half
:06:49. > :06:55.going with the put-in. Greeff coming in from his wing. Big Colma strong,
:06:56. > :07:00.tall South African. They have a couple of big wingers who aren't
:07:01. > :07:10.afraid to come in off the wings and carry, in fairness to them. It's
:07:11. > :07:15.gone forward again. A bit of a scrappy start to the second half
:07:16. > :07:25.with neither side being able to control possession. Dan Jones has
:07:26. > :07:29.taken a blow as well, I think. While it was easy for Sean Holley to have
:07:30. > :07:35.a trot down the field, Ian Gough had a couple of sets of steps to content
:07:36. > :07:39.with. He does iron man these days so he's fitter than he was when he was
:07:40. > :07:44.playing. I was hoping it wasn't heavy breathing or I might get some
:07:45. > :07:45.complaints. I'm surprised Sean didn't pull his hamstring, he almost
:07:46. > :08:01.broke into a jog! Dan Jones looking to give Scarlets
:08:02. > :08:15.positioned downfield. Nicely aimed kick. A one hander. Scarlets are
:08:16. > :08:21.doing -- what Scarlets did in the first half, Zebre are doing now,
:08:22. > :08:25.taking quick throws and looking to up the tempo. Scarlets playing
:08:26. > :08:40.terribly at the moment and Zebre are running it. Unconventional throw in.
:08:41. > :08:50.Well held, Sir! Where exactly was it taken? He wants it to go back
:08:51. > :08:57.downfield for the throw in. Not sure what Bordoli was looking at, whether
:08:58. > :09:05.he thought he was outside his 22? It will be a line-out, anyway.
:09:06. > :09:21.I think he's thought... You can't do that now, you can't step over and
:09:22. > :09:25.take it. Which is sure Dan Jones was inside his 22 anyway. Really, really
:09:26. > :09:34.scrappy first couple of minutes to this half. That's a six rather than
:09:35. > :09:39.a catch on the boundary, I'm afraid! Coaches trying to calm it down and a
:09:40. > :09:44.bit of territory for the first five minutes to ease their nerves and get
:09:45. > :09:49.into the game. Have a look at this for a throw in. One-handed, Lord it
:09:50. > :09:58.anywhere. All the best. He's got away with it! Baker. Did Gareth Rees
:09:59. > :10:07.used to do the American football throw in? All the time. I camera
:10:08. > :10:12.member the days when Gerald Davies and the wingers used to throw into
:10:13. > :10:22.the line-out. Not quite as bad as that. He's a handful. Greeff. He's
:10:23. > :10:27.broken through a couple of tackles. Bordoli trying the one-handed pass.
:10:28. > :10:37.A chance for the Scarlets. It was all rushed. Good hands and a
:10:38. > :10:44.powerful carry from Greeff on the right-wing. Bumps Johnny McNicholl
:10:45. > :10:49.out of the way. He's got strength as well to go over Hadleigh Parkes and
:10:50. > :10:55.stay in play. They've created some really nice opportunities. Quick
:10:56. > :10:57.hands from Baker. He can take quick throw ins and he's got good hands as
:10:58. > :11:10.well. I think Price will be a bit gutted
:11:11. > :11:15.with that. He tried to rush it and didn't realise he had more time than
:11:16. > :11:28.he thought. Ended up in tears for him.
:11:29. > :11:38.Greeff again. It's their fair old boot as well.
:11:39. > :11:51.Good kick. Just stuck a bit instead of running away, but still
:11:52. > :11:55.effective. Over the head of Violi. Steph Evans, the crowd want him to
:11:56. > :12:07.run. He spotted a big gap on the other side of the field. He needed
:12:08. > :12:11.that one to stick like Dan Jones's. Definitely a change in intent in the
:12:12. > :12:16.Scarlets play. Everything first off was keep the ball in hand. Getting
:12:17. > :12:19.into the corners, playing the territory game. Trying to calm it
:12:20. > :12:23.down. They need one try for the bonus point and once they get that
:12:24. > :12:25.the floodgates will open. It's getting a run of play to allow them
:12:26. > :12:52.to do it. Good burst by Will Boyde. Now links
:12:53. > :13:00.up, but doesn't link up with Johnny McNicholl. There was one delayed to
:13:01. > :13:06.many, maybe. He's got to be careful, Tom Price. Can't grab people around
:13:07. > :13:18.the head like that. A bit of frustration from the Scarlets, I
:13:19. > :13:22.think. 15. One. Just relax. You're not going to use language like that
:13:23. > :13:27.on the field now, is that clear? Just giving you some advice. Do you
:13:28. > :13:34.want to leave the field? No. When the whistle has gone, you leave it.
:13:35. > :13:36.And relax. Just calm it down, boys. Let's not get over the top. Good
:13:37. > :13:47.handoff. Second row just being a little
:13:48. > :13:52.overprotective of his scrum-half, maybe. Just going in for a bit of a
:13:53. > :13:55.cuddle. He probably smells very nice. Full-backs always put on nice
:13:56. > :14:24.aftershave before the game! Boni. Lost possession on the floor.
:14:25. > :14:32.It's just bubbling under the surface. Over the surface on a few
:14:33. > :14:37.occasions in the second half. Dan Jones in the middle of it as well.
:14:38. > :14:44.He fancies himself as a scrapper. Last place you'd expect him. A
:14:45. > :14:48.scrum-half in there, outside-half. When the whistle goes, we don't get
:14:49. > :14:57.involved off the ball. Don't jeopardise your penalty. Is that
:14:58. > :15:07.clear? Let's go. I think James Davies again.
:15:08. > :15:15.Nothing. Aled Davies has just gone into the back of one of the Zebre
:15:16. > :15:19.players. Nobody throws a punch, everybody pushes each other and it
:15:20. > :15:27.ends up with a line-out. Shingler takes the line-out. Tadgh Beirne
:15:28. > :15:31.drives it on. Elias makes sure it doesn't get driven over the
:15:32. > :15:36.touchline. Plenty of forwards to choose from. Aaron Shingler is the
:15:37. > :15:44.first of them. Davies fires it out and it's taken over by Tom Price for
:15:45. > :15:50.the Scarlets's bonus point try! He's going to be happy with that. Beirne
:15:51. > :15:55.putting in crossfield kicks with a deft touch and now Price firing
:15:56. > :16:01.over. Good intensity from the Scarlets. They stayed on the front
:16:02. > :16:09.foot and Zebre couldn't put a decent, structured defence in. Taken
:16:10. > :16:20.very well. That will be 30 metres by tonight as well. The first try for
:16:21. > :16:28.Tom Price. It's one which will secure a bonus point which will keep
:16:29. > :16:32.the Scarlets in the top four and in the hunt. A really, really scrappy
:16:33. > :16:37.start to the second half, the first ten minutes, but the Scarlets won't
:16:38. > :16:42.mind that. Another five points in the bag. The challenge for Zebre,
:16:43. > :16:48.don't fall apart. They have played some decent rugby in the first 15
:16:49. > :16:53.minutes. Their concentration levels and their discipline keeps letting
:16:54. > :16:56.them down. The Scarlets have to be careful because there's been some
:16:57. > :17:00.frustration creeping into the Zebre play and some pushing and shoving.
:17:01. > :17:04.We didn't see that in the first half. They can't get embroiled. The
:17:05. > :17:08.Scarlets have given away a lot of yellow cards and penalties this
:17:09. > :17:17.season. They have to let Zebre get on with it and keep putting tries on
:17:18. > :17:20.the board. A change for Zebre. The debut for Davide Zanetti. He
:17:21. > :17:31.replaces makeshift flanker Olivier Aero Fabiani. Therein lies the
:17:32. > :17:36.problem. A young player on permit. They haven't got strength in depth.
:17:37. > :17:42.Great take by James Davies. Brilliant take by James Davies. You
:17:43. > :17:47.can't keep him out of the game. Hadleigh Parkes, the glue that keeps
:17:48. > :17:53.them together. Steff Hughes driving forwards. Steff Evans in off the
:17:54. > :17:56.wing. The Scarlets with a spring in their step after getting the bonus
:17:57. > :18:07.point. The weight is off their shoulders. A hot potato for Johnny
:18:08. > :18:11.McNicholl tonight. He's having one of those nights. Dan Jones to
:18:12. > :18:22.Hadleigh Parkes again. Wyn Jones driven back by the double
:18:23. > :18:39.tackle. Davies carries defenders with him
:18:40. > :18:49.into the 22. Steff Hughes to Steff Evans. A little over eager to keep
:18:50. > :18:54.it alive and the ball turned over to D'Apice. As it goes back to Tom
:18:55. > :19:00.Price, they'll come back for the scrum. A shame because the Scarlets,
:19:01. > :19:04.you can see confidence brimming. Confidence has eroded with Zebre. He
:19:05. > :19:09.didn't need to try that flight. You have to realise when it's on and not
:19:10. > :19:12.on. They were attacking with purpose. They are playing a much
:19:13. > :19:27.more confident game. You can't keep him out of the game.
:19:28. > :19:33.He's got all the skills, James Davies. He'll be frustrated he's not
:19:34. > :19:37.involved in the Six Nations with Wales, but he's got to keep plugging
:19:38. > :19:41.away and keep doing what he's doing with the Scarlets. A few of those
:19:42. > :19:44.Six Nations boys with a weekend off, coming down to support the other
:19:45. > :20:10.players. Still not one penalty given away by
:20:11. > :20:12.the Scarlets. They were the most penalised side in the league before
:20:13. > :20:55.tonight! Good defending by Steff Evans. Nice
:20:56. > :21:00.touch again from Bisegni, the Zebre 13. He looks a decent player at
:21:01. > :21:10.outside centre. Changes being made. Let's go down to fill. The big day
:21:11. > :21:18.in the Welsh Rugby union cup. A big game for Pembrokeshire. Coached by
:21:19. > :21:30.Shaun Gayle, the son of the great Norman Gale. Elsewhere... My good
:21:31. > :21:38.food guide this week, I'm going into the Welsh Rugby union bowl. -- good
:21:39. > :21:45.feud guide. Carefully coached by Brett Davey. The Brett Davey
:21:46. > :21:51.revolution is going on. That's my good feud guide. A great preview of
:21:52. > :21:57.that on the Twitter feed. If you want a laugh, go to that Twitter
:21:58. > :22:05.feed for a match preview. Cheers. Gareth Owen on in midfield for the
:22:06. > :22:12.Scarlets. Josh Macleod in the back row. Just taking off Hadleigh
:22:13. > :22:22.Parkes. The job is done, they will be important during the Six Nations.
:22:23. > :22:34.Guillermo Roan on in the front row for Zebre. In place of Pietro
:22:35. > :22:37.Ceccarelli. Ceccarelli released from the Italian squad. Here comes Greeff
:22:38. > :23:03.again. First penalty. Quarter of an hour
:23:04. > :23:09.into the second half before the Scarlets concede a penalty.
:23:10. > :23:44.Nine. Clear release, yeah? Seven caps for Argentina, Roan.
:23:45. > :23:56.Koegelenberg I'd sit down from the line. -- guides it down. Another one
:23:57. > :24:05.of the replacements, Zanetti. Bisegni. Still a long advantage
:24:06. > :24:11.being played by Andrew Brace and now we'll come back for the penalty.
:24:12. > :24:21.After not conceding at all for 55 minutes, two in the next minute.
:24:22. > :24:28.Seven, no release. 142nd penalty of the season.
:24:29. > :24:37.Joey Carbery has got a couple of tries for Leinster. Very tight, only
:24:38. > :24:41.8-3 at half-time. But now a sizeable gap. Two quick ones now. Discipline,
:24:42. > :25:11.please. Bernabo took the line-out. We saw a
:25:12. > :25:20.very good driving line-out from the Scarlets a moment or two ago. Zebre
:25:21. > :25:29.haven't really got theirs going. Violi. Bordoli.
:25:30. > :25:42.Koegelenberg. Ryan Elias, excellent work at the breakdown. Zebre have
:25:43. > :25:46.gone from the driving line-out. Because they haven't got any
:25:47. > :25:51.momentum, it's as if they haven't got a plan B and they have planned
:25:52. > :25:57.for it not working. The outside-half has come through a couple of phases.
:25:58. > :26:06.Alliances very good over the ball as well. -- Elias very good. James
:26:07. > :26:16.Davies at halfway. Return pass for Gareth Owen. Davies driven off it
:26:17. > :26:27.illegally. Game three too quickly. The Zebre players are getting very,
:26:28. > :26:39.very frustrated. Good adventure from the Scarlets. Serafin Bordoli
:26:40. > :26:45.struggling a little bit. Great play by Dan Jones. All the Zebre players
:26:46. > :26:47.had turned their backs. Good into linking from James Davies and Gareth
:26:48. > :27:07.Owen. From the side, off his feet. Wait, wait, wait. Here comes James
:27:08. > :27:19.Davies, straightens up. Taken on by Luke Garrett. Just about
:27:20. > :27:49.held onto by Josh Macleod. Bodies all over it. It's really
:27:50. > :27:58.slowed it down for the Scarlets. Dan Jones with a kick to nothing. Almost
:27:59. > :28:02.a kick to something! He's got his hand up, he's trying to claim it,
:28:03. > :28:06.but I'm not sure if there was any contact on the ground. At first I
:28:07. > :28:12.thought why kick the ball, but the way it bounced, it was all on for
:28:13. > :28:21.him. Try it, yes or no, we'll look at it now.
:28:22. > :28:33.He knew he had the advantage. They had the penalties so why not try the
:28:34. > :28:43.little chip. He's missed that. Just bounced. I have a decision. The ball
:28:44. > :28:48.was not grounded. You can go back to playing advantage. Cheers. Playing
:28:49. > :28:56.advantage over here. Captain here, please. Two quick penalties, any
:28:57. > :29:02.more and I'm considering yellow. Bernabo has assumed the captaincy.
:29:03. > :29:16.You will take the scrum all day long if you're the Scarlets. Number ten.
:29:17. > :29:26.And three, red. Serafin Bordoli, replaced by Guglielmo Palazzani.
:29:27. > :29:30.Mickey -- Nicky Thomas, who is joined the Scarlets until the end of
:29:31. > :29:32.the season. I would have waited until after the scrum to make that
:29:33. > :29:55.substitution. The referee is slightly in the way
:29:56. > :30:07.of Will Boyde. Aled Davies looks up and sees plenty
:30:08. > :30:19.of forwards alongside him. Managed to keep Tom Williams out,
:30:20. > :30:30.back for another penalty and yellow card. Andrew Brace has just warned
:30:31. > :30:36.the captain. Nicky Thomas did a fantastic job, Andrew Brace then got
:30:37. > :30:41.in the way of Will Boyde, going down the blindside.
:30:42. > :30:53.Nicky Thomas came through the Ospreys Academy. Luke Garrett, I was
:30:54. > :30:57.at the Dragons with him as well. A young pairing that did fantastically
:30:58. > :31:02.well in the scrum. For any young kids watching, that is not how to
:31:03. > :31:05.tackle, with your head. No arms or shoulders, that is how you seriously
:31:06. > :31:12.get injured. You can see why he has been yellow carded. I think he will
:31:13. > :31:21.wear a head guard from now on if he will continue tackling like that.
:31:22. > :31:24.Bruno Postiglioni has only just come on. We are going to have passive
:31:25. > :31:45.scrums. I can imagine Nicky Thomas being
:31:46. > :31:48.gutted about that. Had a good, dominant scrum, the young lads
:31:49. > :31:57.trying to make their name and they don't get a chance to make their
:31:58. > :32:10.attempt. He will put one of the props into hooker, I think. Derick
:32:11. > :32:13.Minnie has moved into hooker. He is playing in the back row. They had a
:32:14. > :32:22.look as flanker, they could bring him back on. He is an international
:32:23. > :32:24.hooker. Unless he has played hooker before. Not many flankers were
:32:25. > :32:50.holding their hands up. If it carries on like that, they
:32:51. > :33:07.might just concede it. They have swaps shirts as flanker.
:33:08. > :33:33.That is a tremendous scrum from the Scarlets. No doubt at all, they
:33:34. > :33:40.couldn't get there and their own steam. The referee, straight under
:33:41. > :33:44.the posts for a penalty try. It will be a very happy new front row that
:33:45. > :33:49.have come on. This is exactly what you want. You want that scrum. You
:33:50. > :33:52.want one thought out against the opposition. That is exactly what
:33:53. > :33:55.they have done. The last three scrums have been very good for them.
:33:56. > :34:04.Now they have their just deserts. The penalty try will go for all of
:34:05. > :34:12.them. They are decimated now, Zebre. Down to 14 men. Must be so
:34:13. > :34:19.difficult, every week, when you go away, at least 30 or 40 points. All
:34:20. > :34:24.five tries converted. The Scarlets looking good. Let's go back down to
:34:25. > :34:37.fillip. Will you be going to temperature
:34:38. > :34:46.tomorrow? One of my friends, Adam Clarke, is on the bench. Hopefully
:34:47. > :34:57.it will be a good game. I might show my face. Back in camp, you had a bit
:34:58. > :35:05.of a bee -- beasting? It was a tough day, hopefully we get the rewards
:35:06. > :35:09.next week. You are not bound to come here, what does it say about the
:35:10. > :35:13.spirit in the squad? It's brilliant, these boys, the International boys,
:35:14. > :35:17.when they are away, they have had a 100% record. It is credit to them,
:35:18. > :35:25.get behind them. It is huge for us when we are away with the
:35:26. > :35:30.internationals and they can get results, it is huge for us as a
:35:31. > :35:33.team. Going back to Pembrokeshire, I know you are a very proud
:35:34. > :35:38.Pembrokeshire man. How much do you feel you are visiting the county
:35:39. > :35:42.when you play for the Scarlets and Wales? I love the Scarlets, its
:35:43. > :35:48.Pembrokeshire region, really. I do feel proud. It's nice to represent
:35:49. > :36:05.them and do my best. Have a good run in Murrayfield. Top man.
:36:06. > :36:16.Dion Berryman, the New Zealander, replacing another. The Hamilton man
:36:17. > :36:25.replacing the one from Palmerston North.
:36:26. > :36:42.Palazzani has joined the forwards. He is certainly being tied into it
:36:43. > :36:54.now, whether he meant to or not. Overcooked, the replacement
:36:55. > :37:00.scrum-half. Tadhg Beirne has been impressive, he had a good season.
:37:01. > :37:07.They are so disjointed, Zebre, the minute. Seven forwards on the field,
:37:08. > :37:30.you are always going to be up against it.
:37:31. > :37:34.All of the replacement is being used. That is Tom Phillips, the
:37:35. > :37:48.former captain. The pass was poor. It wasn't Johnny
:37:49. > :37:58.McNicholl's fault. Bad play from Scarlets. Really good scrum. Really
:37:59. > :38:03.good platform. Poor passing and poor lines of running. That is on Steff
:38:04. > :38:04.Hughes, it is a really bad pass. So difficult to take when you are on
:38:05. > :38:13.the run. It's funny, when it doesn't go your
:38:14. > :38:17.way, sometimes it just doesn't go your way. That happens, you drop a
:38:18. > :38:30.couple early on and you start giving passes like that.
:38:31. > :38:33.Leinster have secured a bonus point at home to Edinburgh. Consolidating
:38:34. > :38:49.third spot. Ospreys and Munster were the top
:38:50. > :38:54.two. There won't be when they come to face each other tomorrow.
:38:55. > :39:05.Great work by Tadhg Beirne, but they stole it back, in fairness to Zebre.
:39:06. > :39:13.Some good boys over the ball, Scarlets. Josh Macleod, Tadhg
:39:14. > :39:19.Beirne. You know, very adept at stealing the ball.
:39:20. > :39:27.Just got a tad messy, just lost a bit of steam. The Scarlets were on
:39:28. > :39:31.the edge of their confidence, about five or ten minutes ago. They have
:39:32. > :39:36.just gone down to Zebre's level for the last couple of minutes. Coming
:39:37. > :39:40.up to the last ten minutes, they want to finish the game in style.
:39:41. > :39:43.They want to get the new boys to come on. Gel them in and get a
:39:44. > :39:56.performance to finish the game and be happy with. Connacht Dragons on
:39:57. > :40:03.S4C tomorrow night. McNicholl hence the charge to cover
:40:04. > :40:17.that. Aled Davies, making sure the cover
:40:18. > :40:20.is good enough to get away the clearance kick. That will be a
:40:21. > :40:34.line-out, inside the Scarlets 22. They just didn't have the flow. They
:40:35. > :40:38.were trying to force the move when it wasn't quite one. Sensing, could
:40:39. > :40:43.we go through with it? Just on the back foot, they didn't quite get to
:40:44. > :41:22.go forward. Only about 15 metres out, defending the line-up.
:41:23. > :41:45.Dion Berryman steps in, the scrum-half. That makes it Scarlets
:41:46. > :42:49.Paul. -- ball. The ball spins away from Aled
:42:50. > :42:57.Davies. Into the side came the Zebre players. Good turn of pace by Elias.
:42:58. > :43:01.I was looking around to whether support was and they were not within
:43:02. > :43:05.ten yards of them. He just needed someone on his shoulder to back him
:43:06. > :43:08.up. The indiscipline Zebre, it's interesting to see how many
:43:09. > :43:13.penalties they have given away so far. 13 penalties they have conceded
:43:14. > :43:18.so far. You know, that makes it even tougher. That has given the Scarlets
:43:19. > :43:29.a great position, about ten yards from their line.
:43:30. > :43:33.A good counter from Tadhg Beirne. He's been really impressive tonight,
:43:34. > :43:38.he has done all of the hard graft. And put the try in the hands of Tom
:43:39. > :44:03.Williams. He did! Will Boyde is straight through and
:44:04. > :44:08.beneath the posts, more less. The referee is not sure what to do.
:44:09. > :44:15.Stood behind the ball, staring, thinking, how did he go through
:44:16. > :44:19.there? A right sneak thief of a try, he took the referee's Wallace at the
:44:20. > :44:23.same time. One of those occasions where everybody stop some things,
:44:24. > :44:29.something must have been wrong. He took it very well, underneath the
:44:30. > :44:39.post. Let's have a look. They can't see the ball. I think it is Fabiani.
:44:40. > :44:44.He has no idea where the ball is. There he is. Nothing wrong with that
:44:45. > :44:45.whatsoever. Because the Zebre players have stopped, he knows where
:44:46. > :44:49.the ball is. Ethic was a pantomime, there would
:44:50. > :45:03.be shouting, behind you! He deserves that, he has worked
:45:04. > :45:10.hard. Aled Thomas keeps up the kicking record with every one of the
:45:11. > :45:15.six tries being converted. He has had a decent game, Boyd. You can't
:45:16. > :45:45.fault their work. Scarlets on their way to their
:45:46. > :46:00.biggest win of the season. A dangerous pass. But it has worked
:46:01. > :46:05.out OK. Here comes Steff Evans, picking up the pace. A lovely run
:46:06. > :46:13.from Evans. He takes the defenders with him. Still going.
:46:14. > :46:22.Aled Davies, so close, over the try line. The ball held up, although he
:46:23. > :46:26.is not sure. Now he does give the decision, no try. What a great run
:46:27. > :46:38.by Steff Evans. He could have passed once or twice
:46:39. > :46:45.before. Great cover from the Zebre defence. Good refereeing to get into
:46:46. > :46:51.position to see he was being held up. Normally the easy thing would be
:46:52. > :47:00.to go straight to the TMO. He was on spot and made the call straightaway.
:47:01. > :47:07.Koegelenberg turned him. He has great feet, a great balanced runner.
:47:08. > :47:26.There, keep going. A great platform for the Scarlets to
:47:27. > :48:05.run things off. Zebre will have to settle for a
:48:06. > :48:11.scrum in the end. When forward one way and then the other.
:48:12. > :48:18.You are picking man of the match tonight? Big performances, James
:48:19. > :48:22.Davies did his usual stint, outstanding for 60 minutes. Dan
:48:23. > :48:29.Jones controlled it really well. But I'm going to go for Tadhg Beirne. He
:48:30. > :48:32.did a full shift, did the donkey work. A beautiful, cultured right
:48:33. > :48:48.foot. Tadhg Beirne has got himself a man
:48:49. > :48:56.of the match award this evening. Always nice to see second row is
:48:57. > :49:03.getting the man of the match. Well, you were sitting next to me.
:49:04. > :49:11.Subliminal messages were coming. I like to give it to somebody who has
:49:12. > :49:15.been on for the entire duration. He put in a huge counter about five or
:49:16. > :49:19.ten minutes ago, just when you thought he would be tired, looking
:49:20. > :49:22.for the subs bench to give him a rest, he is still smashing into
:49:23. > :49:42.rucks. Mattia Bellini got over with a
:49:43. > :49:47.conversion to draw them level at 7-7. And since then, Scarlets have
:49:48. > :50:00.dominated, as expected. If they win by this scoreline,
:50:01. > :50:03.everybody says they should. They have been scrappy and parts, but
:50:04. > :50:06.showed how dangerous they can be as well. They have sterner tests ahead
:50:07. > :50:35.of them. They have got the five points.
:50:36. > :50:50.Greg -- good hands, and across with the tackle, man of the match Tadhg
:50:51. > :50:59.Beirne. Again, some lovely little touches. Times his pass to
:51:00. > :51:04.perfection. This, in the 79th minute, from Tadhg Beirne, a great
:51:05. > :51:08.effort to get across. Against a big, strong winger. That is a fine
:51:09. > :51:10.tackle. In the first minute that would have been big, and he has won
:51:11. > :51:15.the line-up as well. You don't know the lottery numbers,
:51:16. > :51:44.do you? I think Tadhg should! It is just the organisation, the
:51:45. > :51:47.decision-making and discipline that lets them down all the time. He has
:51:48. > :52:04.been pretty impressive, as well. That is what let Zebre down. A
:52:05. > :52:07.disappointing end to the game for Zebre, but anything but
:52:08. > :52:11.disappointment for the Scarlets. Three tries in each half, they
:52:12. > :52:14.needed a bonus point to stay in the top four and make sure they were to
:52:15. > :52:21.keep the pressure on. That is exactly what they did. A bit untidy
:52:22. > :52:28.at times, but more than enough to keep them happy. 6-1 four tries, and
:52:29. > :52:33.the Scarlets winning run continues. One defeat in the last 12 for them.
:52:34. > :52:39.They are on a roll, seven wins out of seven. Zebre, with one win all
:52:40. > :52:46.season, are going to be rooted to the bottom of the table.
:52:47. > :53:10.21 points in the first half, 21 in the second as well. Tom Price
:53:11. > :53:18.getting on the scoresheet. A penalty try shortly afterwards, no
:53:19. > :53:23.hesitation from Andrew Brace. Then this, from Will Boyde. Just stolen
:53:24. > :53:28.from under their noses, strolled over the line. Great try from the
:53:29. > :53:35.back row forward. This is the table as it stands. Leinster are
:53:36. > :53:42.comfortable you had against -- comfortably ahead. Scarlets are
:53:43. > :53:51.guaranteed fourth, courtesy of the bonus point victory. Phil Steele is
:53:52. > :53:56.with Tadhg Beirne. From Guinness, the Guinness man of the match for
:53:57. > :54:00.Tadhg Beirne. Congratulations, how did you enjoy it? It was a tough
:54:01. > :54:04.game. The ball was in play for a long time. You often feel a little
:54:05. > :54:08.bit like they were turning it around a bit. When we did get into the
:54:09. > :54:14.game, we knew that there would be a lot of ball in play. I think we
:54:15. > :54:20.tired them out, got a view tries and got the bonus point. How nice does
:54:21. > :54:23.it feel to get gametime? It was a frustrating start for me, I didn't
:54:24. > :54:29.get the gametime I was looking for. I came over here and got an
:54:30. > :54:35.opportunity. Thankfully, I took it. Every game, I have to keep taking
:54:36. > :54:37.it. I have to play well every game, because there was a lot of
:54:38. > :54:49.competition behind me. Hadleigh Parkes, a regular here,
:54:50. > :54:56.congratulations on the win, a bonus try victory, job done? Probably blew
:54:57. > :55:02.a couple of tries in the end, but we have to be happy with the bonus
:55:03. > :55:07.point. Hopefully we can go forward for the next two weeks, two games
:55:08. > :55:12.against Ireland. A deserved man of the match award for Tadhg Beirne, an
:55:13. > :55:15.industrious forward effort? The forwards have been doing really
:55:16. > :55:24.well, they have been giving is really good balls. Tadhg Beirne,
:55:25. > :55:31.says he had his chance, he has been outstanding for us. Turnovers, and
:55:32. > :55:35.made a great tackle at the end. It's good. Steff Evans looked a hungry
:55:36. > :55:42.man tonight. He had four weeks on the sidelines. It's good to have him
:55:43. > :55:48.back. We are all hoping he will get an opportunity. He is looking pretty
:55:49. > :55:56.sharp and he has probably lost a bit of weight while he has been away. We
:55:57. > :56:02.also want to see him having a chance. Apparently James Davies has
:56:03. > :56:16.had a new haircut. Any comment? He rates it. I don't know about it. It
:56:17. > :56:21.is like Beavis and Butthead. We will let the audience be the judge of
:56:22. > :56:24.that. I know you want to talk about the Tom Price try, we talked a lot
:56:25. > :56:32.about teams that have a plan when they are near the line and they are
:56:33. > :56:34.in close proximity. I was talking to Hadley and he confirmed it.
:56:35. > :56:39.I was talking to Hadley and he confirmed it.
:56:40. > :56:47.It is about falling out or not. That bunches of the Italian defence, so
:56:48. > :56:52.they have no wit and there are gaps in between. It is meant to be
:56:53. > :56:59.Hadleigh Parkes coming again. I think Price fancied his chances. It
:57:00. > :57:06.shows they have a plan, close to the line. That is key against defences.
:57:07. > :57:15.Not so tonight, perhaps. Phil, who have you got with you? A bonus
:57:16. > :57:21.point, will you take that? It wasn't classic rugby, but job done. Good
:57:22. > :57:29.luck for your big games in Ireland. If we could pick up or not two, that
:57:30. > :57:31.would be fantastic. Many congratulations to Wayne Pivac. You
:57:32. > :57:37.could not hide your delight that a second row got a man of the match,
:57:38. > :57:41.thoroughly deserved? His partner scored a try, he was putting in
:57:42. > :57:46.crossfield kicks. The tackle at the end, it was the counter ruck he did
:57:47. > :57:51.five or ten minutes ago. He put a hell of a shift in comment came in
:57:52. > :57:57.and obliterated the ruck, got the turnover. I was nudging Martin as we
:57:58. > :58:04.were talking about it. It is about time a lock got man of the match.
:58:05. > :58:18.Not long left, Ospreys Munster, one word? Osprey have their head -- that
:58:19. > :58:23.between their teeth. That is all we have time for. Make sure you join us
:58:24. > :58:24.for Scrum V Sunday. For now, congratulations to the Scarlets. Job
:58:25. > :58:26.done.
