We've all been gripped by the Six Nations over the last fortnight, but

:00:17.:00:22.

this weekend international rugby takes a break and focus turns to

:00:23.:00:28.

Pro12. Tonight we are in west Wales as the Scarlets take on Zebre and

:00:29.:00:32.

these boys got themselves back into the top four with the ultimate smash

:00:33.:00:34.

and grab victory in Glasgow. Good pick up by Parkes. Williams! Of

:00:35.:00:47.

the Scarlets are back on level terms. James Davies goes in for it.

:00:48.:01:00.

Brilliant run by Davies. James Davies has Williams on the outside

:01:01.:01:05.

but doesn't need him. He's over for the second. What a win for the

:01:06.:01:11.

Scarlets. That was a huge victory in the context of the league as it

:01:12.:01:16.

meant the Scarlets swapped places with Glasgow, from fifth into

:01:17.:01:20.

fourth, and they will be looking for a bonus point tonight. They are

:01:21.:01:25.

playing the bottom side, Zebre, with just one victory to their name all

:01:26.:01:30.

season. Welcome to Parc y Scarlets, Urreta to be barmy Parc y Scarlets

:01:31.:01:39.

after last week. It is a test. The Scarlets have two of their Wales

:01:40.:01:42.

squad players back, one on the bench and one in the starting line-up. My

:01:43.:01:49.

experience in this league is at this time of year you need a good blend

:01:50.:01:55.

of youth from the local area and good quality overseas players. The

:01:56.:02:00.

Scarlets are adding that to their squad. This is Johnny McNicholl last

:02:01.:02:04.

week, solid under the high ball and a good counter attack. Parkes has

:02:05.:02:10.

been one of the players of the season. Showing responsibility. A

:02:11.:02:17.

crossfield kick to DTH van der Merwe, not playing tonight,

:02:18.:02:23.

unfortunately. Putting young Tom Williams in for the crucial score. A

:02:24.:02:28.

blend of quality from undersea is -- overseas and the quality of youth.

:02:29.:02:33.

DTH van der Merwe not playing tonight he tweaked his and strength.

:02:34.:02:39.

Steffan Evans gets a start. He will be chomping at the bit. He's been

:02:40.:02:46.

off the chicken nuggets for the last four weeks! He's been training with

:02:47.:02:50.

a scientist. He'll be disappointed he didn't play last weekend. He

:02:51.:02:56.

thought he would get a stay -- shot on the big stage, but he didn't. Now

:02:57.:03:00.

he's live on TV to show everybody why he should be there. He'll want

:03:01.:03:06.

the ball in hand and to score a few tries as the Scarlets go after a

:03:07.:03:11.

bonus point. But you have to break them down upfront before you do the

:03:12.:03:17.

fancy stuff. I think the Ospreys had fright last week, leaking ten points

:03:18.:03:22.

in the first half. A banana skin can happen. I used to hate playing

:03:23.:03:26.

against the likes of Zebre and Treviso because they are capable of

:03:27.:03:30.

a big performance and you are always expected to win. The Scarlets need

:03:31.:03:35.

the bonus point. After winning in Glasgow last week, they need to back

:03:36.:03:39.

it up this week and cement themselves in the top four. I'm sure

:03:40.:03:44.

Wayne Pivac has drilled the message into his players.

:03:45.:03:47.

You said in the match programme you need to be on the money mentally.

:03:48.:03:53.

What do you mean? Having the same level of intensity as we have

:03:54.:03:57.

against the bigger sites. It's about playing the game with intensity over

:03:58.:04:02.

80 minutes and being disciplined. Good luck. The teams are about to

:04:03.:04:09.

emerge from the tunnels. The Scarlets have never lost to Zebre.

:04:10.:04:15.

Can they maintain their unbeaten run over tonight's opposition and

:04:16.:04:20.

further cement their place in the Pro12 top four? Lets join our

:04:21.:04:25.

commentators. Conditions excellent for the game

:04:26.:04:29.

this evening. Not too much wind, not as cold as it was in every game last

:04:30.:04:37.

weekend. Zebre, after going ahead against the Ospreys last week, will

:04:38.:04:42.

be looking to see if they're returning players can bolster them

:04:43.:04:46.

and see if they can make any impression at the front of the Pro12

:04:47.:04:53.

table. Andrea De Marchi, the loose end prop, leading them onto the

:04:54.:04:54.

field. Eight Zebre players have been

:04:55.:05:05.

released from the Italian Six Nations squad. Scrum-half Violi was

:05:06.:05:15.

released from international duty. South African winger and New Zealand

:05:16.:05:19.

full-back adding to the international flavour. The Scarlets,

:05:20.:05:31.

fresh from that excellent victory. Aaron Shingler has the pleasure and

:05:32.:05:41.

honour of leading the team out. Two changes upfront to the starting

:05:42.:05:48.

line-up. Phillips at hooker, Beirne in the second row, James Davies

:05:49.:05:52.

fresh from a man of the match performance in Scotland. Steff Evans

:05:53.:05:55.

might not have made the red of Wales, but he's back for the

:05:56.:06:00.

Scarlets instead of van der Merwe. Hughes celebrates his birthday with

:06:01.:06:05.

a start alongside the skipper. Five Daniel International is on the Zebre

:06:06.:06:14.

bench. -- internationals from Italy. Andrew Byrne -- Andrew Brace of

:06:15.:06:20.

Ireland from Ireland is in charge this evening. His 20th game at this

:06:21.:06:32.

level. Dan Jones gets the game underway. Scarlets in the top four

:06:33.:06:37.

position. Zebre rooted to the bottom.

:06:38.:06:47.

Bordoli, the new outside-half, who started against the Ospreys last

:06:48.:06:53.

week, off the bench begins Leinster previously. Johnny McNicholl has

:06:54.:06:58.

settled down into the full-back role lately after starting in the wing

:06:59.:07:00.

having come over from New Zealand. Aaron Shingler, 150th appearance

:07:01.:07:20.

this evening. 100 league games. Immediately the Scarlets are looking

:07:21.:07:24.

for which it. James Davies was outstanding in Glasgow last week.

:07:25.:07:28.

Didn't give Johnny McNicholl much room to move. Will Boyde getting

:07:29.:07:40.

well over the gain line. Loose pass from Tadgh Beirne. Picked up by

:07:41.:07:41.

Phillips. The ball spilt and a chance for a

:07:42.:07:59.

counter for Kurt Baker. From Palmerston North in New Zealand.

:08:00.:08:04.

First breakdown. James Davies winning his team a penalty. Good

:08:05.:08:15.

evening. No secret how the Scarlets want to approach this game. Plenty

:08:16.:08:21.

of width. You've got to be very careful in these games that you do

:08:22.:08:26.

the little jobs well and you do the hard work. Everybody expects the

:08:27.:08:30.

Scarlets to rack up a cricket score tonight, but you have to do the hard

:08:31.:08:35.

work. James Davies starts, 16 turnovers in the league this season.

:08:36.:08:39.

He is so dangerous once he gets into a strong position. Virtually

:08:40.:08:45.

impossible to move. De Marchi just got in to get the ball for Zebre,

:08:46.:08:51.

but it didn't last long. Lots of running off the ball.

:08:52.:09:04.

A change of tactic, meant for Aaron Shingler. The very tall right

:09:05.:09:13.

window, but even he wasn't going to reach that one. -- winger. Took the

:09:14.:09:23.

kick over, but too much weight on it. But good invention. That's what

:09:24.:09:28.

Zebre will do, they will give you opportunities. They will give away

:09:29.:09:34.

penalties. Going straight for the corner. Not sure whether he should

:09:35.:09:38.

take the points or not after last Saturday! They've got to be looking

:09:39.:09:45.

for a bonus point. The top four is so tight. Zebre at home during the

:09:46.:09:52.

Six Nations, you have to go for four tries. Tadgh Beirne takes the

:09:53.:09:58.

line-out. James Davies just collecting it from Philips.

:09:59.:10:05.

Good drive on by the whole pack. Shingler, Beirne, Price. It's gone

:10:06.:10:20.

to ground anyway. Front row forwards just peeling off, ready to carry it

:10:21.:10:28.

up again. Scarlets within seven or eight metres. McNichol was waiting.

:10:29.:10:34.

Went across the face. Just nudged forward before Bellini can take

:10:35.:10:44.

advantage. If you make a brave call, you've got to come away with

:10:45.:10:50.

something. A little bit sloppy. Zebre did really well. Got a little

:10:51.:10:55.

bit sloppy. The one thing Scarlets Dulac is a big ball-carrier to over

:10:56.:11:00.

the gain line. They have explosive men in Boyde and Davies, but nobody

:11:01.:11:05.

to really get over the gain line. Young Will Boyde has been very

:11:06.:11:12.

impressive. 22 years old. Dwayne Peel a few years back, I think he

:11:13.:11:16.

was coaching the Scarlets Academy, and he said he was one to look out

:11:17.:11:21.

for. He got his chance in the Autumn Internationals when James Davies was

:11:22.:11:23.

banned. He's been outstanding. They were running at it at pace and

:11:24.:11:38.

they were looking to use the men they've got in the centre and Steff

:11:39.:11:44.

Evans on the win, but Jones couldn't hang onto it. They are playing in

:11:45.:11:49.

the right areas. Johnny McNicholl and Jonny Evans, he made himself

:11:50.:11:54.

available but got spooked by the defence. Just missing a little bit

:11:55.:11:58.

of detail so far to finish things off, but they are playing in the

:11:59.:12:02.

right area. They need to calm down a bit and go through the phases rather

:12:03.:12:04.

than doing the hard stuff first. Postiglioni manages to get it back.

:12:05.:12:25.

Marcello Violi with aid each -- distant touch finder. Do you feel

:12:26.:12:28.

most of their work will be done on the back foot this evening? Here

:12:29.:12:34.

come the Scarlets again. Lovely eft load to Jonathan Evans. Beirne in

:12:35.:12:41.

support. Steff Hughes to Hadleigh Parkes. James Davies on the wing.

:12:42.:12:47.

It's all quick tempo stuff from the Scarlets. Boyde. The ball is there

:12:48.:13:00.

again for the home team. Tadgh Beirne driving on.

:13:01.:13:07.

Untidy for Jonathan Evans. The forwards have to go in, led by

:13:08.:13:17.

Werner Kruger. Great player initially, great awareness from

:13:18.:13:20.

McNicholl. The ball went off the field of play. Zebre bit slow on the

:13:21.:13:26.

chase and give this man half an opportunity and he's away. This is

:13:27.:13:30.

what he can do in open space. Great big celebration and great footwork,

:13:31.:13:34.

and a nice off-load at the end to keep the play going. A little bit

:13:35.:13:38.

sloppy in the contact area further on, but good signs from the

:13:39.:13:42.

Scarlets. They are getting into really good areas and just missing

:13:43.:13:47.

out on the last pass. They are getting into these areas, they just

:13:48.:13:52.

have to make a few passes stick. A bit more patience and it will be

:13:53.:13:54.

points on the board. Ruzza with the feed. Violi. Wants to

:13:55.:14:11.

put it further in the stand this time. Bounces off the advertising

:14:12.:14:17.

hoardings! Very unlucky from the scrum-half. Went through greater

:14:18.:14:22.

depth, but that time hit the advertising hoardings so it allowed

:14:23.:14:26.

McNicholl to go for the quick one again. Screaming at the scrum-half,

:14:27.:14:32.

put it into Row Z, don't give them a chance to counter attack. That time

:14:33.:14:36.

it good tackle by Baker on Steff Evans to dislodge the ball. They are

:14:37.:14:41.

going to try to play like this all night. High tempo. Keep the ball in

:14:42.:14:48.

play. Taia out the Italians. Let them test their discipline because

:14:49.:14:51.

they do give away penalties. Just need to be more efficient in the

:14:52.:14:59.

contact areas. This Italian team are coming here low on confidence. By

:15:00.:15:03.

putting the ball on the touchline, keeping them on the back foot will

:15:04.:15:07.

tomorrow lies them more. They just need points on the board to get

:15:08.:15:11.

their heads down. They've only had one win this year, away in

:15:12.:15:15.

Edinburgh. They need to keep punching it forward, don't let Zebre

:15:16.:15:19.

get anywhere near their half and it could be a torrid time for them. The

:15:20.:15:29.

scrums have been really good. Andrew Brace saying they have been an even

:15:30.:15:34.

contest. We haven't had any resets yet. Tempting fate! Guess what is

:15:35.:15:45.

about to happen? No, that was steady enough for the ball to get away.

:15:46.:16:02.

Koegelenberg, the South African second row, but the ball back with

:16:03.:16:11.

the Scarlets. Still alive. Pressure on Bellini. The dry has come, has

:16:12.:16:20.

it? -- try. I think it just came off Tom Williams. A cracking kick and

:16:21.:16:25.

the bounce of the ball, he didn't know where it was coming from.

:16:26.:16:36.

Horrible bounce. The winger in No Man's Land. McNicholl and Williams

:16:37.:16:42.

getting in each other's way. But great play from Steff Hughes earlier

:16:43.:16:48.

on. A mix-up in the Zebre midfield and his off-load created space for

:16:49.:16:50.

Parkes to put in the kick. Good work by Ruzza. But even then,

:16:51.:17:35.

the kick was a little bit rushed. Rushed, but he hasn't given the

:17:36.:17:38.

Scarlets an opportunity to take a quick throw in. This is what Zebre

:17:39.:17:45.

want. They have to take the tempo out of the Scarlets. Kicks into Row

:17:46.:17:47.

Z is what they need. Tom Price. Penalty coming to the Scarlets.

:17:48.:18:06.

Zebre came in from the side. They can't work the final pass for

:18:07.:18:28.

anybody in space. Detached and back in the side, three.

:18:29.:18:37.

Dan Jones has started the last three games now for the Scarlets. Aled

:18:38.:18:55.

Thomas on the bench and Steff Evans stepping up to take the place of DTH

:18:56.:19:06.

van der Merwe. Shingler supplies and Emyr Phillips controls. Edging

:19:07.:19:09.

towards that try line. Next pod or forwards led by Will

:19:10.:19:25.

Boyde. Right up to the try line. James Davies tries to bustle his way

:19:26.:19:31.

over. Jonathan Evans. They are so close now. Parkes twists and thinks

:19:32.:19:36.

better about going for the try himself. Kept alive and flicked on,

:19:37.:19:41.

and just about enough room for Steff Evans to squeeze in the corner. He

:19:42.:19:47.

kept his feet in the air. I think he hit the post, but it's OK if he did.

:19:48.:19:57.

A possible foot in touch initially on the touchline. Any reason why I

:19:58.:20:02.

can't award the try? Any reason why we can't award the try, potential

:20:03.:20:07.

foot in touch. Have a look at Evans's left leg? Where was it when

:20:08.:20:19.

the ball was put down? That's OK. Flicking the post. It's a try.

:20:20.:20:44.

Get the ball down. On the first one, with his white boots... I thought

:20:45.:20:56.

he'd hit the touchline, but it's the try all day long. He'll be happy

:20:57.:21:01.

with that. He's been twiddling his thumbs. Full of adrenaline in the

:21:02.:21:09.

last few weeks and off he goes. I have the decision. You may award the

:21:10.:21:11.

try. Decision confirmed. A fine finish by

:21:12.:21:25.

Steff Evans and the Scarlets are on the board. You can't say it wasn't

:21:26.:21:29.

coming, the whole 12 minutes has been in the Zebre half and the Zebre

:21:30.:21:35.

22. They kept their patients. Good defence by Zebre but they ran out of

:21:36.:21:44.

numbers. Used to Evans and a quality finish because there wasn't much

:21:45.:21:48.

room to work in. Nothing less than they deserve, the Scarlets. They'd

:21:49.:21:53.

turned down an opportunity to kick three points. Eventually they got

:21:54.:21:55.

over in the left-hand corner. Beautifully struck kick by Dan Jones

:21:56.:22:19.

and five becomes seven. Good work by Hadleigh Parkes and a

:22:20.:22:35.

lovely flicked on by Steff Hughes. A great finish by Steff Evans. The

:22:36.:22:41.

Scarlets have been threatening, they've been putting the ball flat

:22:42.:22:46.

and it hasn't quite stuck, but now it's stuck. They have confidence and

:22:47.:22:50.

now they have to make sure Zebre don't get back into the game.

:22:51.:22:56.

That's just what you want from a restart. Nice take, excellent kick.

:22:57.:23:10.

He was just finding his feet, Parkes, but Dan Jones has stepped up

:23:11.:23:13.

and played really, really well since taking over the ten jersey. A little

:23:14.:23:20.

bit disappointed with the pressure Zebre didn't put on the Scarlets.

:23:21.:23:27.

Awful kick off. They are the small things, the basics, which is why it

:23:28.:23:29.

Zebre bottom of the league. Penalty. Guess who. 15 minutes gone,

:23:30.:23:52.

two turnovers already. That was down to Steff Hughes come he went down

:23:53.:23:57.

and ripped the ball. He's sniffing about the breakdown and straight

:23:58.:24:00.

over to win another penalty for the Scarlets.

:24:01.:24:08.

Overhit. That's a big disappointment for the Scarlets. Perhaps a bit

:24:09.:24:19.

overconfident. He's just nailed a conversion and nailed a clearance

:24:20.:24:23.

kick from the kick-off. Perhaps went for a little bit too much. Sometimes

:24:24.:24:28.

I don't mind people having a go at that. They want the five yard

:24:29.:24:33.

lineout. He just missed it. If he gets it just inside the post, they

:24:34.:24:37.

have a hell of a line-out. You win some and lose some. A gamble that

:24:38.:24:39.

didn't pay off. McNicholl looking for the gap

:24:40.:25:10.

created by the chase. Bordoli is back there. The kick charged down.

:25:11.:25:23.

Tom Williams. The Scarlets looking to spread it as quickly as possible.

:25:24.:25:29.

Dan Jones sees the drifting defence and steps back inside them.

:25:30.:25:35.

Looking for the past to his winger but it was cut out. The break is on.

:25:36.:25:57.

Has he overcooked it? Just the wrong side of the post for Giulio Bisegni!

:25:58.:26:03.

Did everything except get the bounce of the ball. Easy to say from up

:26:04.:26:10.

here, but I thought he had time to pick it up and run it in. The

:26:11.:26:15.

closest man to him was his own player. You could see what Hughes

:26:16.:26:20.

was going for. From here, the alarm bells are ringing. He's rushed that

:26:21.:26:27.

kick. He had time to look around him. You would think an Italian

:26:28.:26:33.

would have better football skills! The Scarlets got away with one

:26:34.:26:38.

because that was a good opportunity for Zebre. Zebre are just giving the

:26:39.:26:47.

Scarlets and Ainge whenever they kick the ball. No one chasing kicks

:26:48.:26:52.

or putting pressure on. Dan Jones will be happy if that's the case all

:26:53.:26:57.

night, if he's given an armchair ride. I think he'll chuffed. He did

:26:58.:27:04.

have far more time than he thought. Shingler... Good presence of mind

:27:05.:27:20.

just take the ball as well. James Davies arrives support. Did he throw

:27:21.:27:27.

that or not? Very, very close. Brilliant work from Aaron Shingler.

:27:28.:27:32.

Has James Davies rounded it off? Reaction from the players is the

:27:33.:27:37.

first thing you look at. He's not convinced. You know as a player...

:27:38.:27:42.

Andrew Brace was about to give it. I think he's lost this. Let's have a

:27:43.:27:50.

look. He's lost it come he's dropped it. You could tell straightaway from

:27:51.:27:51.

his reaction. Obviously got very stumpy hands! If

:27:52.:28:09.

it backed himself to go in the corner, he would have got in with

:28:10.:28:13.

his pace and power. But stepped inside. Great work by Shingler,

:28:14.:28:19.

showed his pace and footballing ability. I thought he might have put

:28:20.:28:24.

another side foot to that to go over the line, but fantastic bit of

:28:25.:28:32.

skill. Sloppy from Zebre. Great weight to the kick as well.

:28:33.:28:38.

Composure to keep it. Great play by Emyr Phillips, back yourself a bit.

:28:39.:28:44.

I would have fancied him to get over in the corner, Davies, but he

:28:45.:28:51.

stepped inside and lost it. Took his head guard off for a second and he's

:28:52.:28:57.

sporting a very fruity haircut tonight!

:28:58.:29:09.

Looks like Federico Ruzza is going to have to do a lot of that this

:29:10.:29:18.

evening. A slowly at -- solid platform to come off the back of.

:29:19.:29:24.

Nice to watch a game 20 minutes in, a lot of scrums but they've all come

:29:25.:29:26.

away cleanly. Emyr Phillips, struggling. That is a

:29:27.:29:41.

real shame, he is a top player. He has just been dogged by injuries.

:29:42.:29:48.

His right sock is down and here's grimacing. He did very well to link

:29:49.:29:52.

up in that way. He gave the past that could have been a tribal James

:29:53.:29:57.

Davies. A shame, he has been a fantastic player. Blighted by

:29:58.:30:00.

injury. Shingler had a juggle and Jones did

:30:01.:30:20.

the cleaning up work to make sure it remains in Scarlets hands.

:30:21.:30:27.

Schindler is getting more and more in the action. -- Shingler.

:30:28.:31:14.

Zebre are keeping their shape defensively. But as the phases build

:31:15.:31:24.

up, the Scarlets will be looking for a mismatch somewhere.

:31:25.:31:33.

Lost patience abet, there. Steff Hughes has regathered.

:31:34.:31:53.

Gives Zebre credit, they had to defend for probably a dozen phases.

:31:54.:32:13.

Great feet from Steff Evans. Good angle from Tom Williams. Really got

:32:14.:32:20.

to look after the ball, there is no need for a miracle of load. They

:32:21.:32:23.

just keep hold of it, go through the phases. While there is a break in

:32:24.:32:32.

play, Phil has gone on a wonder. I am with one of the members of the

:32:33.:32:38.

coaching staff of Zebre, how does pointing was it that you didn't get

:32:39.:32:40.

something on the ball with the breakaway? Unfortunately, the soccer

:32:41.:32:46.

skills let down a bit. Just disappointing he wasn't aware there

:32:47.:32:49.

was nobody around him to pick it up and go and score. That is obviously

:32:50.:32:54.

something that has happened. We have to be a little bit more discipline.

:32:55.:32:58.

We have given away too many penalties. We need to work harder on

:32:59.:33:03.

the breakdown. When we have the ball, we need to keep it and use it.

:33:04.:33:07.

We have given them an easy ball and they are counterattacking all the

:33:08.:33:10.

time. We need to look forward and make the mistakes right. Good to be

:33:11.:33:17.

back? It was a long time ago, but it was a privilege to play for this

:33:18.:33:18.

fantastic club. There is the one solid aspect of

:33:19.:33:32.

Zebre's game. The scrum. Did come under increasing pressure there. I'm

:33:33.:33:36.

not sure if that is a sign of things to come.

:33:37.:33:40.

A bit over casual from the Scarlets. Really sloppy. Plenty of time. Just

:33:41.:33:50.

a lack of communication. It has given Zebre and easy out. I was just

:33:51.:33:56.

going to mention, it is deja vu will stop scrum to Zebre, clearance kick,

:33:57.:34:02.

should not let the ball bounce. Johnny McNicholl expecting it. I am

:34:03.:34:09.

sure there will be messages coming on saying to go back to basics, but

:34:10.:34:13.

they will know that anyway. They are trying to be too cute at times. It

:34:14.:34:19.

is just one they have tried to force it, the mistakes are happening. Get

:34:20.:34:23.

the ball into the right area. Bellini gets in the corner. Very

:34:24.:34:46.

simple, but very effective rugby from Zebre. Use a simple, but it was

:34:47.:34:52.

just great angles, great off-loads, all from sloppy play by the

:34:53.:34:56.

Scarlets. They had Zebre and all sorts of pressure. Only their second

:34:57.:35:04.

chance. But look at the angle from 13, great angle. You can say it is

:35:05.:35:16.

poor defence. But it was a great angle. He threaded that pass. Target

:35:17.:35:28.

extremely well. The try that they squandered, they could be right in

:35:29.:35:31.

the game, even though they don't deserve to be. The breakaways, that

:35:32.:35:34.

is where the Italian teams get amongst it, and they put the points

:35:35.:35:40.

on the board. Good attacking of the inside shoulder by ten and 13. Space

:35:41.:35:44.

on the outside for the winger. Very well found by Bisegni.

:35:45.:36:05.

Good strike from Violi. 25 minutes dominated by the Scarlets, all

:36:06.:36:14.

square. Very well worked try. Bordoli

:36:15.:36:29.

attacking first. By sexy doing the same. The finish from Bellini. Tom

:36:30.:36:34.

Williams, just driven out by Bordoli. He nearly made amends for

:36:35.:36:43.

himself. He has had a tough couple of minutes, Williams. But it bounces

:36:44.:36:49.

straight into his hands. Nothing else he can do, really. Just touch

:36:50.:36:54.

to keep hold of the ball. His only option was to cut inside and take

:36:55.:36:58.

the tackle. He had no angle to work with.

:36:59.:37:07.

Not straight, it was directed at Joshua Furno.

:37:08.:37:20.

That is the banana skin of these teams. You put all of the pressure

:37:21.:37:25.

on them, the Scarlets have been camping in the 22 and it is 7-7.

:37:26.:37:33.

They could have have the extra try as well. You have to be aware of

:37:34.:37:36.

that when you are playing teams like this.

:37:37.:37:52.

You are getting ahead of me. Wait for my call, please. Take the

:37:53.:38:00.

pressure off. Most of the scrums have been Zebre scrums. As Martin

:38:01.:38:04.

said, they have all been played away from, pretty neat and tidy. Every

:38:05.:38:09.

now and then they have had a show. It is what everybody wants to see,

:38:10.:38:12.

the ball being played away and clean.

:38:13.:38:38.

Now, a chance, if they go left. They were narrow initially. They have a

:38:39.:38:45.

chance to reform, Shingler pops out. The referee is playing an advantage.

:38:46.:38:51.

Well read, by Bisegni. It was a dynamic tackle, you must

:38:52.:39:12.

release and move. Sympathy for him, he thought he had gone in, but he

:39:13.:39:17.

said it was just a tackle. He has just stayed there, thinking it is a

:39:18.:39:25.

maul. They've got to come away with something, the Scarlets.

:39:26.:39:30.

Parkes is the go to man. Jonathan Evans to Alan Shingler, and it is as

:39:31.:40:03.

easy as that. They are lined up for some fancy play, and it was just a

:40:04.:40:12.

hardline from Parkes and from Shingler towards the ruck. A strong

:40:13.:40:18.

curry again from Parkes. Clean ball. -- carry. Defending the inside of

:40:19.:40:27.

the ruck, getting the inside of the scrum. Too easy at this level. One

:40:28.:40:34.

ruck, they have done nothing fancy at all. It is a simple ball back

:40:35.:40:36.

inside, no defenders. I don't know what he was doing, I

:40:37.:40:51.

would have been pretending to do my shoelaces up. Even when he saw the

:40:52.:40:55.

ball, he didn't make that big an effort. A good play, they exploited

:40:56.:40:59.

it and came back, against the run of play. He will have analysed it,

:41:00.:41:03.

seeing if there were spaces. Well taken by Shingler. He has had a very

:41:04.:41:10.

busy first half. Easy conversion. Let's go back to fill. You turn down

:41:11.:41:21.

the penalty, is that your intent? We have to back it up by executing and

:41:22.:41:26.

going through the phases, perhaps not forcing the ball. We have

:41:27.:41:29.

dropped ourselves in trouble. In the end, we conceded a try. There is

:41:30.:41:38.

plenty we need to get right. How much of a nudge is the fact that

:41:39.:41:42.

they scored the try? Might do the lads good. We put ourselves in

:41:43.:41:47.

pressure by putting the ball over the 22. I think it is probably the

:41:48.:41:51.

first time they had been in our half, and they come away with seven

:41:52.:41:57.

points. That is a big focus. Not that you were happy to concede the

:41:58.:41:58.

try, just checking! Ruzza certainly seems to be the

:41:59.:42:56.

liveliest of the forwards for Zebre this evening.

:42:57.:43:04.

That is Lloys Greeff, the South African, on the wing.

:43:05.:43:16.

Scarlets, defending on or about the 22. Zebre, making no progress.

:43:17.:43:24.

The longest they have been in possession.

:43:25.:43:32.

Ruzza again making his presence felt. The number eight is the one

:43:33.:43:46.

that is carrying Zebre at the moment.

:43:47.:44:12.

Tadhg Beirne, anybody chasing up after it? Tom Williams is.

:44:13.:44:18.

He takes it on the half volley, and that is a great try. Tadhg Beirne

:44:19.:44:28.

will talk long and hard about his past downfield, but the pace and

:44:29.:44:31.

presence of Tom Williams gives Scarlets a breakaway third try. Talk

:44:32.:44:35.

about bouncing around people, it bounced perfectly for Tom Williams.

:44:36.:44:39.

It could have gone anywhere. Tadhg Beirne reads it well. This could

:44:40.:44:48.

have gone anywhere, but it is straight into Tom Williams' hands.

:44:49.:44:54.

Good place to get away. First, Shingler, showing the footwork. And

:44:55.:45:01.

then Beirne, a cultured right foot. Just put side spin on that, just to

:45:02.:45:06.

put it into his path. Fantastic finish. Against the run of play.

:45:07.:45:10.

These are the sort of scores that break the away team down. They come

:45:11.:45:14.

here, bottom of the league, that is what put their heads down, the first

:45:15.:45:17.

bit of pressure that Zebre really hard. He is lucky he didn't catch it

:45:18.:45:26.

properly, otherwise it would have gone somewhere else. That bounced

:45:27.:45:31.

perfectly. Zebre looked dangerous with the ball in hand, they were

:45:32.:45:34.

going through phases really well. That is what you need to do, keep

:45:35.:45:38.

your discipline, trust your defence. Then you will force a mistake. A try

:45:39.:45:44.

in Glasgow last week, following a try to take the Scarlets within a

:45:45.:45:45.

bonus point for Tom Williams. They can relax a little bit, five

:45:46.:46:03.

minutes to go of the first half and they have three of the four

:46:04.:46:04.

necessary tries in the bank. You say relax, we did a game last

:46:05.:46:19.

year, very similar to Treviso, they could not get it over and it cost

:46:20.:46:24.

them the top four. Just got to keep their foot to the floor.

:46:25.:46:30.

He will be pretty happy with the way things are going so far.

:46:31.:46:45.

That is a great take, a superb one-handed take by Tommaso Boni.

:46:46.:47:04.

Derick Minnie, with the drive. Boni again, a couple of caps for Italy.

:47:05.:47:23.

And the inside centre, Tommaso D'Apice.

:47:24.:47:28.

Bisect me has looked busy this evening. They do have some nice

:47:29.:47:34.

lines behind. They just struggle for the killer pass. --

:47:35.:47:42.

I am not sure what Violi was aiming for.

:47:43.:48:00.

Next time you step across, it is a free kick.

:48:01.:48:26.

He really caught the eye in the first half for Zebre. Only 22 years

:48:27.:48:45.

old. A very accomplished player, Frederick reserve. -- Frederico

:48:46.:48:50.

Rosa. Wyn Jones, the loosehead, getting

:48:51.:49:15.

some attention. The other game being played this evening, Leinster are

:49:16.:49:17.

leading Edinburgh by 8-0. Leinster, in third, one spot above

:49:18.:49:38.

the Scarlets. A couple of big games this weekend. Ospreys and Munster,

:49:39.:49:43.

the top two. Really looking forward to that one. Not only are they in

:49:44.:49:46.

first and second, they are in really good form.

:49:47.:49:55.

A lot of the Welsh boys in and around the squad.

:49:56.:50:05.

A grown of disappointment. That will be frustrating. A bit sloppy, with

:50:06.:50:21.

ball in hand. No pressure at all. A poor exit. It gives a Zebre

:50:22.:50:22.

something to bite on. He will not be happy with that,

:50:23.:50:33.

Stephen Jones. I'm not sure if they have decided about Johnny McNicholl,

:50:34.:50:45.

is he a 12, a 14? What we have seen of him, he plays a lot on the wing.

:50:46.:50:49.

It's a different sort of game in the northern hemisphere. A lot of the

:50:50.:50:53.

boys coming up take a while to find their feet. A quality player, no

:50:54.:50:55.

doubt about that. Jonathan Evans, with a clearance

:50:56.:51:08.

kick. He should have given that. It is the

:51:09.:51:37.

small decision-making from the Italians that has left them down.

:51:38.:51:41.

Bellini was screaming for it on the outside.

:51:42.:52:00.

Turned over by the Scarlets. The attack have been very good in the

:52:01.:52:05.

contact area. Only one player there, this is

:52:06.:52:16.

pressure. Josh Furno, he could have done with

:52:17.:52:24.

a big welly into the stands. You want to keep on playing until

:52:25.:52:36.

somebody gets a score or makes a mistake.

:52:37.:52:41.

Surely now the Scarlets will say we're not going to run from 80

:52:42.:52:47.

metres. That will do. Three tries will do is nicely in the first 40.

:52:48.:52:54.

That is what they've got. They have run every opportunity they have had.

:52:55.:52:59.

They have given away a try, but they are leading at half-time by 21-7. I

:53:00.:53:04.

think they should be quite happy. We will find out now. Are you

:53:05.:53:15.

reasonably happy? Yes, I think so. It probably doesn't help, giving the

:53:16.:53:18.

ball away to them. Hopefully we can just keep the pressure. The hack on

:53:19.:53:26.

from Tadhg Beirne, a planned move customer Yes, straight off the

:53:27.:53:27.

training fields! So, an early start for Steff Evans.

:53:28.:53:39.

Straight back in from the Wales squad. Straight over the line. Then

:53:40.:53:46.

some enterprising play from Zebre. Mattia Bellini over the line. Panic

:53:47.:53:55.

stations, perhaps. So many opportunities spurned until that

:53:56.:53:58.

point. A lovely hard from our Aaron Shingler.

:53:59.:54:03.

A hack from Tadhg Beirne, great pace from Tom Williams to cross the line.

:54:04.:54:11.

Fantastic finish from the winger. The Scarlets comfortable at

:54:12.:54:15.

half-time, 21-7 is the half-time score. Ian, it was looking worrying

:54:16.:54:20.

at one stage. So many handling errors. When Zebre got down, they

:54:21.:54:25.

took their chances? Scarlets were camped out in the 22, they were

:54:26.:54:28.

trying things that didn't seem to be on. There were not quite sticking

:54:29.:54:34.

the passes. I thought there were very lucky that Zebre did not pick

:54:35.:54:37.

the ball when they made that break to the try. It was a lot more time

:54:38.:54:42.

than they thought. They will be happy with the scoreline, but it

:54:43.:54:45.

didn't really tell a tale of what happened. What did you put that down

:54:46.:54:50.

to? We talked about how the Scarlets have never lost to Zebre. Maybe a

:54:51.:54:54.

touch of complacency? They have been uncharacteristically sloppy. It

:54:55.:54:59.

could be complacency, it is quite cold. It could be anything. They are

:55:00.:55:04.

possibly trying a bit hard. They are trying to go through some patterns.

:55:05.:55:08.

They could have put the game to bed by now, you know? Crucial areas in

:55:09.:55:13.

the 22, it has really cost them. They have taken three chances. I'm

:55:14.:55:22.

sure at half-time, Wayne Pivac will consolidate. We talked about how

:55:23.:55:28.

hungry Steff Evans will be. He has been after everything, hunting for

:55:29.:55:32.

that ball and got his reward? I thought he would counterattack at

:55:33.:55:36.

the end. This came from a line-out. This is preplanned, they go for the

:55:37.:55:39.

middle row now and then they go inside and outside clean. They go

:55:40.:55:45.

again. This is preplanned. Hadleigh Parkes has to be coming on the third

:55:46.:55:49.

phase. If he doesn't score then you can bet money they have an overlap

:55:50.:55:54.

on the outside. A great spot by the defender. A little bit of luck and a

:55:55.:55:58.

bounce. This was a great finish. Got his feet in the air did really well.

:55:59.:56:04.

If fares doesn't score, you have to take your chance. Take a bit of

:56:05.:56:08.

depth, and, as you say, a classy finish from the winger. We have

:56:09.:56:13.

talked about missed opportunities, let's look at some of them. They

:56:14.:56:19.

could be out of sight by now? There were two tries they left out. I was

:56:20.:56:24.

willing him over. I think I said if he had my size hands he would be OK.

:56:25.:56:33.

It was a hard one, if he had three of them, the ball was flying

:56:34.:56:35.

everywhere. They worked the ball. This is one where the footballing

:56:36.:56:41.

skills let them down. They took one attacker out and he had a fair bit

:56:42.:56:44.

more time. You have gone to a different clip and I don't know

:56:45.:56:51.

where I am. Aaron Shingler showed great athleticism. On another day he

:56:52.:56:54.

would have put that down. He was probably trying to force it down.

:56:55.:57:02.

Emyr Phillips put that down, let down by small hands, maybe. Is that

:57:03.:57:09.

a Donald Trump reference? Zebre, whenever they got into the 22 or the

:57:10.:57:14.

half, they looked threatening. On one occasion, with the Bellini

:57:15.:57:19.

tried, they pulled it off. A bit of analysis, what this scrum half

:57:20.:57:26.

needs, he just checks and Shingler isn't there. It forces Hadleigh

:57:27.:57:33.

Parkes in. It leaves Tom Williams in no man's land. He's got two choices.

:57:34.:57:38.

McNicholl needs to take the man with the ball. It is well worked, just

:57:39.:57:47.

subtle discrepancies. A good side will capitalise on that. Both second

:57:48.:57:52.

rows get too close. This is where they get lazy. You need them to fold

:57:53.:57:57.

in on the short side. This is preplanned, really well executed, on

:57:58.:58:01.

the narrow side. The Scarlets responded really quickly. Tadhg

:58:02.:58:05.

Beirne, as we have been discussing, I'm not sure Swansea City will

:58:06.:58:10.

invite him for a trial. But it ultimately lead to a cracking try

:58:11.:58:13.

because of Tom Williams' positioning awareness and pace? The mistake

:58:14.:58:24.

happened, really chancing where to put the side spin on. It bounced

:58:25.:58:29.

straight into his hands. A great finish, he had some heat on him. He

:58:30.:58:34.

will be asking him for some beers tonight. Doesn't he look the part?

:58:35.:58:42.

Tall, looks quick and strong. Whenever he has put on the Scarlets

:58:43.:58:48.

shirt, he has made an impression. He could play up, I think. He has made

:58:49.:58:53.

some mistakes, but who knows where the line is. He almost resurrected

:58:54.:58:58.

his career since he came to the Scarlets. He has looked ever alert,

:58:59.:59:02.

like you said? He does look comfortable, he came off his wing,

:59:03.:59:06.

to the other side. You have seen him and Steph Evans and hacking

:59:07.:59:10.

together. I think you might get another one. We will see in the

:59:11.:59:14.

second half. Phil Steele has found in the crowd. He has only just come

:59:15.:59:21.

out of the ice Bath after last week's game, what did you think? All

:59:22.:59:25.

right, a bit scrappy, but we look comfortable. Disappointed conceding

:59:26.:59:31.

a try off a set piece, but I am sure there will be more opportunities.

:59:32.:59:34.

What did you think of the Tom Williams try? It was good, a bit of

:59:35.:59:40.

a hack through, makes a habit of scoring at the moment. Tied up with

:59:41.:59:45.

the Welsh squad, how important is it for you whether to stay in the top

:59:46.:59:49.

four, when you come back you are ready to go again? We have a good

:59:50.:59:54.

squad, more so maybe then we had for the last couple of seasons. The boys

:59:55.:59:57.

are doing well when we go away. It is massive for us that we make the

:59:58.:00:01.

top four. I think we are definitely good enough to win some silverware

:00:02.:00:07.

this season. Well said, have a good run in Murrayfield.

:00:08.:00:11.

Great to hear from the Scott Williams. Big game for him and his

:00:12.:00:18.

Welsh colleagues at Murrayfield next weekend. Plenty to talk about.

:00:19.:00:26.

We are just two rounds into the Six Nations and it's already delivered

:00:27.:00:31.

some heart stopping encounters. With a Lion storm looming, everyone is

:00:32.:00:35.

trying to catch the eye of the main man. Stuart Hogg is playing all

:00:36.:00:39.

right. He missed a few tackles last week so he'll be looking at

:00:40.:00:45.

improving his defensive staff. Join us on Sunday as we move find out

:00:46.:00:50.

who's made Martin Williams's Lions 15 and we look ahead to the crunch

:00:51.:00:57.

match in Murrayfield. All that to come on Scrum V 's Sunday and

:00:58.:01:05.

there's another round of Pro12 fixtures to analyse. Leinster are

:01:06.:01:10.

beating Edinburgh at the moment. Some cracking fixtures tomorrow. A

:01:11.:01:17.

massive clash at the Liberty Stadium. Top of the table clash,

:01:18.:01:22.

first against second as the Ospreys welcome monster. They'll be looking

:01:23.:01:28.

for revenge after heavy defeat in November. -- Munster. Cracking game

:01:29.:01:37.

in prospect. First against second. They are going to be heavy upfront

:01:38.:01:41.

and Munster will come with a big back and try to take on the Ospreys.

:01:42.:01:49.

They carry upfront in a number of different ways. Thrusting the

:01:50.:01:53.

middleman forward. You have to watch the ninth. And then the kick and go,

:01:54.:01:58.

which is a really good variety of forward play that Munster have. The

:01:59.:02:03.

Ospreys have been working on a tactic to counter this. The double

:02:04.:02:08.

tackle. I have some Scarlets Academy boys to show you. They will pass off

:02:09.:02:14.

the deck and fit the middleman. What the Ospreys will try to do is have

:02:15.:02:18.

one tackle coming in low under the ball and a second man coming high

:02:19.:02:23.

over the top to smother the ball. Then they will try to thrust them

:02:24.:02:29.

forward. That may stop the attack Munster have. There is a problem for

:02:30.:02:35.

the defender. He has to watch this inside guy as well as push off. If

:02:36.:02:42.

this nine scoops, he has to trap him in so it frees up some Munster

:02:43.:02:46.

players. The nine is always a threat. If he watches his man too

:02:47.:02:51.

much, through will go the ninth. It's a crucial area of the game

:02:52.:02:56.

tomorrow. If the Ospreys defence can get it right, I reckon they will

:02:57.:03:02.

take it and go top. Lovely stuff. If Sean sounded out of breath, he had

:03:03.:03:08.

to sprint from the halfway line to under the posts! The Scarlets

:03:09.:03:12.

players will also be out of breath. They are in the changing room

:03:13.:03:17.

getting messages from the coaches. Some interesting stats. Scarlets

:03:18.:03:22.

well ahead, they've had the Lions share of possession, but not great

:03:23.:03:29.

on the handling errors. They are dropping balls uncharacteristically,

:03:30.:03:33.

they will want to tighten that up in the second half. Despite not firing

:03:34.:03:38.

on all cylinders, you look at the scoreboard, 21-7 and comfortable.

:03:39.:03:42.

They'll be happy with that. The Ospreys would have been happy with

:03:43.:03:48.

that last week, 10-0 at half-time. Not panic stations yet. They are

:03:49.:03:54.

lucky the one try wasn't converted. He will be saying back to basics.

:03:55.:03:59.

Get the territory, keep possession in the 22 and just have a bit of

:04:00.:04:06.

patience. More tries will come. Got your breath back, Sean? Lovely run

:04:07.:04:12.

up the touchline. Still got it. Talking about the Scarlets going

:04:13.:04:17.

back to basics. They are one try from a bonus point. They have to get

:04:18.:04:22.

that bonus point because Glasgow play Ulster tomorrow. They are fifth

:04:23.:04:27.

and sixth. The Scarlets can open up a gap between them and the teams

:04:28.:04:32.

beneath them with a bonus point. All the top boys will take a bonus point

:04:33.:04:37.

at home against Zebre. They have plenty of time, a whole half to get

:04:38.:04:41.

a tried and that's the most important thing. Don't force it, it

:04:42.:04:46.

will come. Get the territory and take your jumps. The second half is

:04:47.:04:54.

about to get underway. Let's rejoined the commentators.

:04:55.:05:01.

Thanks. We caught a glimpse of a couple of substitutes, wearing 21

:05:02.:05:05.

for the Scarlets, Aled Davies. And the experienced Valerio earn our bow

:05:06.:05:14.

replaces Josh Furno for Zebre. -- Valerio Bernabo. Bordoli to start

:05:15.:05:23.

the second half. Scarlets, three tries to one to the good. Amongst

:05:24.:05:29.

all the stats produced these days, an interesting one in the first

:05:30.:05:35.

half. Scarlets didn't concede a single penalty. We have the Zebre

:05:36.:05:39.

coaching staff just across from us and they weren't happy with that.

:05:40.:05:44.

5-0 penalty count. Not to give away a penalty in the first half, Pivac

:05:45.:05:49.

and the Scarlets coaching staff will be very, very happy with that.

:05:50.:06:06.

Sean mentioned getting the bonus point try, they will want it as

:06:07.:06:12.

early as possible and put this game to bed.

:06:13.:06:20.

Same standards, take the pressure off, wait for the ball. Clear? Thank

:06:21.:06:24.

you. All the scrums in the first half

:06:25.:06:48.

going with the put-in. Greeff coming in from his wing. Big Colma strong,

:06:49.:06:55.

tall South African. They have a couple of big wingers who aren't

:06:56.:07:00.

afraid to come in off the wings and carry, in fairness to them. It's

:07:01.:07:10.

gone forward again. A bit of a scrappy start to the second half

:07:11.:07:15.

with neither side being able to control possession. Dan Jones has

:07:16.:07:25.

taken a blow as well, I think. While it was easy for Sean Holley to have

:07:26.:07:29.

a trot down the field, Ian Gough had a couple of sets of steps to content

:07:30.:07:35.

with. He does iron man these days so he's fitter than he was when he was

:07:36.:07:39.

playing. I was hoping it wasn't heavy breathing or I might get some

:07:40.:07:44.

complaints. I'm surprised Sean didn't pull his hamstring, he almost

:07:45.:07:45.

broke into a jog! Dan Jones looking to give Scarlets

:07:46.:08:01.

positioned downfield. Nicely aimed kick. A one hander. Scarlets are

:08:02.:08:15.

doing -- what Scarlets did in the first half, Zebre are doing now,

:08:16.:08:21.

taking quick throws and looking to up the tempo. Scarlets playing

:08:22.:08:25.

terribly at the moment and Zebre are running it. Unconventional throw in.

:08:26.:08:40.

Well held, Sir! Where exactly was it taken? He wants it to go back

:08:41.:08:50.

downfield for the throw in. Not sure what Bordoli was looking at, whether

:08:51.:08:57.

he thought he was outside his 22? It will be a line-out, anyway.

:08:58.:09:05.

I think he's thought... You can't do that now, you can't step over and

:09:06.:09:21.

take it. Which is sure Dan Jones was inside his 22 anyway. Really, really

:09:22.:09:25.

scrappy first couple of minutes to this half. That's a six rather than

:09:26.:09:34.

a catch on the boundary, I'm afraid! Coaches trying to calm it down and a

:09:35.:09:39.

bit of territory for the first five minutes to ease their nerves and get

:09:40.:09:44.

into the game. Have a look at this for a throw in. One-handed, Lord it

:09:45.:09:49.

anywhere. All the best. He's got away with it! Baker. Did Gareth Rees

:09:50.:09:58.

used to do the American football throw in? All the time. I camera

:09:59.:10:07.

member the days when Gerald Davies and the wingers used to throw into

:10:08.:10:12.

the line-out. Not quite as bad as that. He's a handful. Greeff. He's

:10:13.:10:22.

broken through a couple of tackles. Bordoli trying the one-handed pass.

:10:23.:10:27.

A chance for the Scarlets. It was all rushed. Good hands and a

:10:28.:10:37.

powerful carry from Greeff on the right-wing. Bumps Johnny McNicholl

:10:38.:10:44.

out of the way. He's got strength as well to go over Hadleigh Parkes and

:10:45.:10:49.

stay in play. They've created some really nice opportunities. Quick

:10:50.:10:55.

hands from Baker. He can take quick throw ins and he's got good hands as

:10:56.:10:57.

well. I think Price will be a bit gutted

:10:58.:11:10.

with that. He tried to rush it and didn't realise he had more time than

:11:11.:11:15.

he thought. Ended up in tears for him.

:11:16.:11:28.

Greeff again. It's their fair old boot as well.

:11:29.:11:38.

Good kick. Just stuck a bit instead of running away, but still

:11:39.:11:51.

effective. Over the head of Violi. Steph Evans, the crowd want him to

:11:52.:11:55.

run. He spotted a big gap on the other side of the field. He needed

:11:56.:12:07.

that one to stick like Dan Jones's. Definitely a change in intent in the

:12:08.:12:11.

Scarlets play. Everything first off was keep the ball in hand. Getting

:12:12.:12:16.

into the corners, playing the territory game. Trying to calm it

:12:17.:12:19.

down. They need one try for the bonus point and once they get that

:12:20.:12:23.

the floodgates will open. It's getting a run of play to allow them

:12:24.:12:25.

to do it. Good burst by Will Boyde. Now links

:12:26.:12:52.

up, but doesn't link up with Johnny McNicholl. There was one delayed to

:12:53.:13:00.

many, maybe. He's got to be careful, Tom Price. Can't grab people around

:13:01.:13:06.

the head like that. A bit of frustration from the Scarlets, I

:13:07.:13:18.

think. 15. One. Just relax. You're not going to use language like that

:13:19.:13:22.

on the field now, is that clear? Just giving you some advice. Do you

:13:23.:13:27.

want to leave the field? No. When the whistle has gone, you leave it.

:13:28.:13:34.

And relax. Just calm it down, boys. Let's not get over the top. Good

:13:35.:13:36.

handoff. Second row just being a little

:13:37.:13:47.

overprotective of his scrum-half, maybe. Just going in for a bit of a

:13:48.:13:52.

cuddle. He probably smells very nice. Full-backs always put on nice

:13:53.:13:55.

aftershave before the game! Boni. Lost possession on the floor.

:13:56.:14:24.

It's just bubbling under the surface. Over the surface on a few

:14:25.:14:32.

occasions in the second half. Dan Jones in the middle of it as well.

:14:33.:14:37.

He fancies himself as a scrapper. Last place you'd expect him. A

:14:38.:14:44.

scrum-half in there, outside-half. When the whistle goes, we don't get

:14:45.:14:48.

involved off the ball. Don't jeopardise your penalty. Is that

:14:49.:14:57.

clear? Let's go. I think James Davies again.

:14:58.:15:07.

Nothing. Aled Davies has just gone into the back of one of the Zebre

:15:08.:15:15.

players. Nobody throws a punch, everybody pushes each other and it

:15:16.:15:19.

ends up with a line-out. Shingler takes the line-out. Tadgh Beirne

:15:20.:15:27.

drives it on. Elias makes sure it doesn't get driven over the

:15:28.:15:31.

touchline. Plenty of forwards to choose from. Aaron Shingler is the

:15:32.:15:36.

first of them. Davies fires it out and it's taken over by Tom Price for

:15:37.:15:44.

the Scarlets's bonus point try! He's going to be happy with that. Beirne

:15:45.:15:50.

putting in crossfield kicks with a deft touch and now Price firing

:15:51.:15:55.

over. Good intensity from the Scarlets. They stayed on the front

:15:56.:16:01.

foot and Zebre couldn't put a decent, structured defence in. Taken

:16:02.:16:09.

very well. That will be 30 metres by tonight as well. The first try for

:16:10.:16:20.

Tom Price. It's one which will secure a bonus point which will keep

:16:21.:16:28.

the Scarlets in the top four and in the hunt. A really, really scrappy

:16:29.:16:32.

start to the second half, the first ten minutes, but the Scarlets won't

:16:33.:16:37.

mind that. Another five points in the bag. The challenge for Zebre,

:16:38.:16:42.

don't fall apart. They have played some decent rugby in the first 15

:16:43.:16:48.

minutes. Their concentration levels and their discipline keeps letting

:16:49.:16:53.

them down. The Scarlets have to be careful because there's been some

:16:54.:16:56.

frustration creeping into the Zebre play and some pushing and shoving.

:16:57.:17:00.

We didn't see that in the first half. They can't get embroiled. The

:17:01.:17:04.

Scarlets have given away a lot of yellow cards and penalties this

:17:05.:17:08.

season. They have to let Zebre get on with it and keep putting tries on

:17:09.:17:17.

the board. A change for Zebre. The debut for Davide Zanetti. He

:17:18.:17:20.

replaces makeshift flanker Olivier Aero Fabiani. Therein lies the

:17:21.:17:31.

problem. A young player on permit. They haven't got strength in depth.

:17:32.:17:36.

Great take by James Davies. Brilliant take by James Davies. You

:17:37.:17:42.

can't keep him out of the game. Hadleigh Parkes, the glue that keeps

:17:43.:17:47.

them together. Steff Hughes driving forwards. Steff Evans in off the

:17:48.:17:53.

wing. The Scarlets with a spring in their step after getting the bonus

:17:54.:17:56.

point. The weight is off their shoulders. A hot potato for Johnny

:17:57.:18:07.

McNicholl tonight. He's having one of those nights. Dan Jones to

:18:08.:18:11.

Hadleigh Parkes again. Wyn Jones driven back by the double

:18:12.:18:22.

tackle. Davies carries defenders with him

:18:23.:18:39.

into the 22. Steff Hughes to Steff Evans. A little over eager to keep

:18:40.:18:49.

it alive and the ball turned over to D'Apice. As it goes back to Tom

:18:50.:18:54.

Price, they'll come back for the scrum. A shame because the Scarlets,

:18:55.:19:00.

you can see confidence brimming. Confidence has eroded with Zebre. He

:19:01.:19:04.

didn't need to try that flight. You have to realise when it's on and not

:19:05.:19:09.

on. They were attacking with purpose. They are playing a much

:19:10.:19:12.

more confident game. You can't keep him out of the game.

:19:13.:19:27.

He's got all the skills, James Davies. He'll be frustrated he's not

:19:28.:19:33.

involved in the Six Nations with Wales, but he's got to keep plugging

:19:34.:19:37.

away and keep doing what he's doing with the Scarlets. A few of those

:19:38.:19:41.

Six Nations boys with a weekend off, coming down to support the other

:19:42.:19:44.

players. Still not one penalty given away by

:19:45.:20:10.

the Scarlets. They were the most penalised side in the league before

:20:11.:20:12.

tonight! Good defending by Steff Evans. Nice

:20:13.:20:55.

touch again from Bisegni, the Zebre 13. He looks a decent player at

:20:56.:21:00.

outside centre. Changes being made. Let's go down to fill. The big day

:21:01.:21:10.

in the Welsh Rugby union cup. A big game for Pembrokeshire. Coached by

:21:11.:21:18.

Shaun Gayle, the son of the great Norman Gale. Elsewhere... My good

:21:19.:21:30.

food guide this week, I'm going into the Welsh Rugby union bowl. -- good

:21:31.:21:38.

feud guide. Carefully coached by Brett Davey. The Brett Davey

:21:39.:21:45.

revolution is going on. That's my good feud guide. A great preview of

:21:46.:21:51.

that on the Twitter feed. If you want a laugh, go to that Twitter

:21:52.:21:57.

feed for a match preview. Cheers. Gareth Owen on in midfield for the

:21:58.:22:05.

Scarlets. Josh Macleod in the back row. Just taking off Hadleigh

:22:06.:22:12.

Parkes. The job is done, they will be important during the Six Nations.

:22:13.:22:22.

Guillermo Roan on in the front row for Zebre. In place of Pietro

:22:23.:22:34.

Ceccarelli. Ceccarelli released from the Italian squad. Here comes Greeff

:22:35.:22:37.

again. First penalty. Quarter of an hour

:22:38.:23:03.

into the second half before the Scarlets concede a penalty.

:23:04.:23:09.

Nine. Clear release, yeah? Seven caps for Argentina, Roan.

:23:10.:23:44.

Koegelenberg I'd sit down from the line. -- guides it down. Another one

:23:45.:23:56.

of the replacements, Zanetti. Bisegni. Still a long advantage

:23:57.:24:05.

being played by Andrew Brace and now we'll come back for the penalty.

:24:06.:24:11.

After not conceding at all for 55 minutes, two in the next minute.

:24:12.:24:21.

Seven, no release. 142nd penalty of the season.

:24:22.:24:28.

Joey Carbery has got a couple of tries for Leinster. Very tight, only

:24:29.:24:37.

8-3 at half-time. But now a sizeable gap. Two quick ones now. Discipline,

:24:38.:24:41.

please. Bernabo took the line-out. We saw a

:24:42.:25:11.

very good driving line-out from the Scarlets a moment or two ago. Zebre

:25:12.:25:20.

haven't really got theirs going. Violi. Bordoli.

:25:21.:25:29.

Koegelenberg. Ryan Elias, excellent work at the breakdown. Zebre have

:25:30.:25:42.

gone from the driving line-out. Because they haven't got any

:25:43.:25:46.

momentum, it's as if they haven't got a plan B and they have planned

:25:47.:25:51.

for it not working. The outside-half has come through a couple of phases.

:25:52.:25:57.

Alliances very good over the ball as well. -- Elias very good. James

:25:58.:26:06.

Davies at halfway. Return pass for Gareth Owen. Davies driven off it

:26:07.:26:16.

illegally. Game three too quickly. The Zebre players are getting very,

:26:17.:26:27.

very frustrated. Good adventure from the Scarlets. Serafin Bordoli

:26:28.:26:39.

struggling a little bit. Great play by Dan Jones. All the Zebre players

:26:40.:26:45.

had turned their backs. Good into linking from James Davies and Gareth

:26:46.:26:47.

Owen. From the side, off his feet. Wait, wait, wait. Here comes James

:26:48.:27:07.

Davies, straightens up. Taken on by Luke Garrett. Just about

:27:08.:27:19.

held onto by Josh Macleod. Bodies all over it. It's really

:27:20.:27:49.

slowed it down for the Scarlets. Dan Jones with a kick to nothing. Almost

:27:50.:27:58.

a kick to something! He's got his hand up, he's trying to claim it,

:27:59.:28:02.

but I'm not sure if there was any contact on the ground. At first I

:28:03.:28:06.

thought why kick the ball, but the way it bounced, it was all on for

:28:07.:28:12.

him. Try it, yes or no, we'll look at it now.

:28:13.:28:21.

He knew he had the advantage. They had the penalties so why not try the

:28:22.:28:33.

little chip. He's missed that. Just bounced. I have a decision. The ball

:28:34.:28:43.

was not grounded. You can go back to playing advantage. Cheers. Playing

:28:44.:28:48.

advantage over here. Captain here, please. Two quick penalties, any

:28:49.:28:56.

more and I'm considering yellow. Bernabo has assumed the captaincy.

:28:57.:29:02.

You will take the scrum all day long if you're the Scarlets. Number ten.

:29:03.:29:16.

And three, red. Serafin Bordoli, replaced by Guglielmo Palazzani.

:29:17.:29:26.

Mickey -- Nicky Thomas, who is joined the Scarlets until the end of

:29:27.:29:30.

the season. I would have waited until after the scrum to make that

:29:31.:29:32.

substitution. The referee is slightly in the way

:29:33.:29:55.

of Will Boyde. Aled Davies looks up and sees plenty

:29:56.:30:07.

of forwards alongside him. Managed to keep Tom Williams out,

:30:08.:30:19.

back for another penalty and yellow card. Andrew Brace has just warned

:30:20.:30:30.

the captain. Nicky Thomas did a fantastic job, Andrew Brace then got

:30:31.:30:36.

in the way of Will Boyde, going down the blindside.

:30:37.:30:41.

Nicky Thomas came through the Ospreys Academy. Luke Garrett, I was

:30:42.:30:53.

at the Dragons with him as well. A young pairing that did fantastically

:30:54.:30:57.

well in the scrum. For any young kids watching, that is not how to

:30:58.:31:02.

tackle, with your head. No arms or shoulders, that is how you seriously

:31:03.:31:05.

get injured. You can see why he has been yellow carded. I think he will

:31:06.:31:12.

wear a head guard from now on if he will continue tackling like that.

:31:13.:31:21.

Bruno Postiglioni has only just come on. We are going to have passive

:31:22.:31:24.

scrums. I can imagine Nicky Thomas being

:31:25.:31:45.

gutted about that. Had a good, dominant scrum, the young lads

:31:46.:31:48.

trying to make their name and they don't get a chance to make their

:31:49.:31:57.

attempt. He will put one of the props into hooker, I think. Derick

:31:58.:32:10.

Minnie has moved into hooker. He is playing in the back row. They had a

:32:11.:32:13.

look as flanker, they could bring him back on. He is an international

:32:14.:32:22.

hooker. Unless he has played hooker before. Not many flankers were

:32:23.:32:24.

holding their hands up. If it carries on like that, they

:32:25.:32:50.

might just concede it. They have swaps shirts as flanker.

:32:51.:33:07.

That is a tremendous scrum from the Scarlets. No doubt at all, they

:33:08.:33:33.

couldn't get there and their own steam. The referee, straight under

:33:34.:33:40.

the posts for a penalty try. It will be a very happy new front row that

:33:41.:33:44.

have come on. This is exactly what you want. You want that scrum. You

:33:45.:33:49.

want one thought out against the opposition. That is exactly what

:33:50.:33:52.

they have done. The last three scrums have been very good for them.

:33:53.:33:55.

Now they have their just deserts. The penalty try will go for all of

:33:56.:34:04.

them. They are decimated now, Zebre. Down to 14 men. Must be so

:34:05.:34:12.

difficult, every week, when you go away, at least 30 or 40 points. All

:34:13.:34:19.

five tries converted. The Scarlets looking good. Let's go back down to

:34:20.:34:24.

fillip. Will you be going to temperature

:34:25.:34:37.

tomorrow? One of my friends, Adam Clarke, is on the bench. Hopefully

:34:38.:34:46.

it will be a good game. I might show my face. Back in camp, you had a bit

:34:47.:34:57.

of a bee -- beasting? It was a tough day, hopefully we get the rewards

:34:58.:35:05.

next week. You are not bound to come here, what does it say about the

:35:06.:35:09.

spirit in the squad? It's brilliant, these boys, the International boys,

:35:10.:35:13.

when they are away, they have had a 100% record. It is credit to them,

:35:14.:35:17.

get behind them. It is huge for us when we are away with the

:35:18.:35:25.

internationals and they can get results, it is huge for us as a

:35:26.:35:30.

team. Going back to Pembrokeshire, I know you are a very proud

:35:31.:35:33.

Pembrokeshire man. How much do you feel you are visiting the county

:35:34.:35:38.

when you play for the Scarlets and Wales? I love the Scarlets, its

:35:39.:35:42.

Pembrokeshire region, really. I do feel proud. It's nice to represent

:35:43.:35:48.

them and do my best. Have a good run in Murrayfield. Top man.

:35:49.:36:05.

Dion Berryman, the New Zealander, replacing another. The Hamilton man

:36:06.:36:16.

replacing the one from Palmerston North.

:36:17.:36:25.

Palazzani has joined the forwards. He is certainly being tied into it

:36:26.:36:42.

now, whether he meant to or not. Overcooked, the replacement

:36:43.:36:54.

scrum-half. Tadhg Beirne has been impressive, he had a good season.

:36:55.:37:00.

They are so disjointed, Zebre, the minute. Seven forwards on the field,

:37:01.:37:07.

you are always going to be up against it.

:37:08.:37:30.

All of the replacement is being used. That is Tom Phillips, the

:37:31.:37:34.

former captain. The pass was poor. It wasn't Johnny

:37:35.:37:48.

McNicholl's fault. Bad play from Scarlets. Really good scrum. Really

:37:49.:37:58.

good platform. Poor passing and poor lines of running. That is on Steff

:37:59.:38:03.

Hughes, it is a really bad pass. So difficult to take when you are on

:38:04.:38:04.

the run. It's funny, when it doesn't go your

:38:05.:38:13.

way, sometimes it just doesn't go your way. That happens, you drop a

:38:14.:38:17.

couple early on and you start giving passes like that.

:38:18.:38:30.

Leinster have secured a bonus point at home to Edinburgh. Consolidating

:38:31.:38:33.

third spot. Ospreys and Munster were the top

:38:34.:38:49.

two. There won't be when they come to face each other tomorrow.

:38:50.:38:54.

Great work by Tadhg Beirne, but they stole it back, in fairness to Zebre.

:38:55.:39:05.

Some good boys over the ball, Scarlets. Josh Macleod, Tadhg

:39:06.:39:13.

Beirne. You know, very adept at stealing the ball.

:39:14.:39:19.

Just got a tad messy, just lost a bit of steam. The Scarlets were on

:39:20.:39:27.

the edge of their confidence, about five or ten minutes ago. They have

:39:28.:39:31.

just gone down to Zebre's level for the last couple of minutes. Coming

:39:32.:39:36.

up to the last ten minutes, they want to finish the game in style.

:39:37.:39:40.

They want to get the new boys to come on. Gel them in and get a

:39:41.:39:43.

performance to finish the game and be happy with. Connacht Dragons on

:39:44.:39:56.

S4C tomorrow night. McNicholl hence the charge to cover

:39:57.:40:03.

that. Aled Davies, making sure the cover

:40:04.:40:17.

is good enough to get away the clearance kick. That will be a

:40:18.:40:20.

line-out, inside the Scarlets 22. They just didn't have the flow. They

:40:21.:40:34.

were trying to force the move when it wasn't quite one. Sensing, could

:40:35.:40:38.

we go through with it? Just on the back foot, they didn't quite get to

:40:39.:40:43.

go forward. Only about 15 metres out, defending the line-up.

:40:44.:41:22.

Dion Berryman steps in, the scrum-half. That makes it Scarlets

:41:23.:41:45.

Paul. -- ball. The ball spins away from Aled

:41:46.:42:49.

Davies. Into the side came the Zebre players. Good turn of pace by Elias.

:42:50.:42:57.

I was looking around to whether support was and they were not within

:42:58.:43:01.

ten yards of them. He just needed someone on his shoulder to back him

:43:02.:43:05.

up. The indiscipline Zebre, it's interesting to see how many

:43:06.:43:08.

penalties they have given away so far. 13 penalties they have conceded

:43:09.:43:13.

so far. You know, that makes it even tougher. That has given the Scarlets

:43:14.:43:18.

a great position, about ten yards from their line.

:43:19.:43:29.

A good counter from Tadhg Beirne. He's been really impressive tonight,

:43:30.:43:33.

he has done all of the hard graft. And put the try in the hands of Tom

:43:34.:43:38.

Williams. He did! Will Boyde is straight through and

:43:39.:44:03.

beneath the posts, more less. The referee is not sure what to do.

:44:04.:44:08.

Stood behind the ball, staring, thinking, how did he go through

:44:09.:44:15.

there? A right sneak thief of a try, he took the referee's Wallace at the

:44:16.:44:19.

same time. One of those occasions where everybody stop some things,

:44:20.:44:23.

something must have been wrong. He took it very well, underneath the

:44:24.:44:29.

post. Let's have a look. They can't see the ball. I think it is Fabiani.

:44:30.:44:39.

He has no idea where the ball is. There he is. Nothing wrong with that

:44:40.:44:44.

whatsoever. Because the Zebre players have stopped, he knows where

:44:45.:44:45.

the ball is. Ethic was a pantomime, there would

:44:46.:44:49.

be shouting, behind you! He deserves that, he has worked

:44:50.:45:03.

hard. Aled Thomas keeps up the kicking record with every one of the

:45:04.:45:10.

six tries being converted. He has had a decent game, Boyd. You can't

:45:11.:45:15.

fault their work. Scarlets on their way to their

:45:16.:45:45.

biggest win of the season. A dangerous pass. But it has worked

:45:46.:46:00.

out OK. Here comes Steff Evans, picking up the pace. A lovely run

:46:01.:46:05.

from Evans. He takes the defenders with him. Still going.

:46:06.:46:13.

Aled Davies, so close, over the try line. The ball held up, although he

:46:14.:46:22.

is not sure. Now he does give the decision, no try. What a great run

:46:23.:46:26.

by Steff Evans. He could have passed once or twice

:46:27.:46:38.

before. Great cover from the Zebre defence. Good refereeing to get into

:46:39.:46:45.

position to see he was being held up. Normally the easy thing would be

:46:46.:46:51.

to go straight to the TMO. He was on spot and made the call straightaway.

:46:52.:47:00.

Koegelenberg turned him. He has great feet, a great balanced runner.

:47:01.:47:07.

There, keep going. A great platform for the Scarlets to

:47:08.:47:26.

run things off. Zebre will have to settle for a

:47:27.:48:05.

scrum in the end. When forward one way and then the other.

:48:06.:48:11.

You are picking man of the match tonight? Big performances, James

:48:12.:48:18.

Davies did his usual stint, outstanding for 60 minutes. Dan

:48:19.:48:22.

Jones controlled it really well. But I'm going to go for Tadhg Beirne. He

:48:23.:48:29.

did a full shift, did the donkey work. A beautiful, cultured right

:48:30.:48:32.

foot. Tadhg Beirne has got himself a man

:48:33.:48:48.

of the match award this evening. Always nice to see second row is

:48:49.:48:56.

getting the man of the match. Well, you were sitting next to me.

:48:57.:49:03.

Subliminal messages were coming. I like to give it to somebody who has

:49:04.:49:11.

been on for the entire duration. He put in a huge counter about five or

:49:12.:49:15.

ten minutes ago, just when you thought he would be tired, looking

:49:16.:49:19.

for the subs bench to give him a rest, he is still smashing into

:49:20.:49:22.

rucks. Mattia Bellini got over with a

:49:23.:49:42.

conversion to draw them level at 7-7. And since then, Scarlets have

:49:43.:49:47.

dominated, as expected. If they win by this scoreline,

:49:48.:50:00.

everybody says they should. They have been scrappy and parts, but

:50:01.:50:03.

showed how dangerous they can be as well. They have sterner tests ahead

:50:04.:50:06.

of them. They have got the five points.

:50:07.:50:35.

Greg -- good hands, and across with the tackle, man of the match Tadhg

:50:36.:50:50.

Beirne. Again, some lovely little touches. Times his pass to

:50:51.:50:59.

perfection. This, in the 79th minute, from Tadhg Beirne, a great

:51:00.:51:04.

effort to get across. Against a big, strong winger. That is a fine

:51:05.:51:08.

tackle. In the first minute that would have been big, and he has won

:51:09.:51:10.

the line-up as well. You don't know the lottery numbers,

:51:11.:51:15.

do you? I think Tadhg should! It is just the organisation, the

:51:16.:51:44.

decision-making and discipline that lets them down all the time. He has

:51:45.:51:47.

been pretty impressive, as well. That is what let Zebre down. A

:51:48.:52:04.

disappointing end to the game for Zebre, but anything but

:52:05.:52:07.

disappointment for the Scarlets. Three tries in each half, they

:52:08.:52:11.

needed a bonus point to stay in the top four and make sure they were to

:52:12.:52:14.

keep the pressure on. That is exactly what they did. A bit untidy

:52:15.:52:21.

at times, but more than enough to keep them happy. 6-1 four tries, and

:52:22.:52:28.

the Scarlets winning run continues. One defeat in the last 12 for them.

:52:29.:52:33.

They are on a roll, seven wins out of seven. Zebre, with one win all

:52:34.:52:39.

season, are going to be rooted to the bottom of the table.

:52:40.:52:46.

21 points in the first half, 21 in the second as well. Tom Price

:52:47.:53:10.

getting on the scoresheet. A penalty try shortly afterwards, no

:53:11.:53:18.

hesitation from Andrew Brace. Then this, from Will Boyde. Just stolen

:53:19.:53:23.

from under their noses, strolled over the line. Great try from the

:53:24.:53:28.

back row forward. This is the table as it stands. Leinster are

:53:29.:53:35.

comfortable you had against -- comfortably ahead. Scarlets are

:53:36.:53:42.

guaranteed fourth, courtesy of the bonus point victory. Phil Steele is

:53:43.:53:51.

with Tadhg Beirne. From Guinness, the Guinness man of the match for

:53:52.:53:56.

Tadhg Beirne. Congratulations, how did you enjoy it? It was a tough

:53:57.:54:00.

game. The ball was in play for a long time. You often feel a little

:54:01.:54:04.

bit like they were turning it around a bit. When we did get into the

:54:05.:54:08.

game, we knew that there would be a lot of ball in play. I think we

:54:09.:54:14.

tired them out, got a view tries and got the bonus point. How nice does

:54:15.:54:20.

it feel to get gametime? It was a frustrating start for me, I didn't

:54:21.:54:23.

get the gametime I was looking for. I came over here and got an

:54:24.:54:29.

opportunity. Thankfully, I took it. Every game, I have to keep taking

:54:30.:54:35.

it. I have to play well every game, because there was a lot of

:54:36.:54:37.

competition behind me. Hadleigh Parkes, a regular here,

:54:38.:54:49.

congratulations on the win, a bonus try victory, job done? Probably blew

:54:50.:54:56.

a couple of tries in the end, but we have to be happy with the bonus

:54:57.:55:02.

point. Hopefully we can go forward for the next two weeks, two games

:55:03.:55:07.

against Ireland. A deserved man of the match award for Tadhg Beirne, an

:55:08.:55:12.

industrious forward effort? The forwards have been doing really

:55:13.:55:15.

well, they have been giving is really good balls. Tadhg Beirne,

:55:16.:55:24.

says he had his chance, he has been outstanding for us. Turnovers, and

:55:25.:55:31.

made a great tackle at the end. It's good. Steff Evans looked a hungry

:55:32.:55:35.

man tonight. He had four weeks on the sidelines. It's good to have him

:55:36.:55:42.

back. We are all hoping he will get an opportunity. He is looking pretty

:55:43.:55:48.

sharp and he has probably lost a bit of weight while he has been away. We

:55:49.:55:56.

also want to see him having a chance. Apparently James Davies has

:55:57.:56:02.

had a new haircut. Any comment? He rates it. I don't know about it. It

:56:03.:56:16.

is like Beavis and Butthead. We will let the audience be the judge of

:56:17.:56:21.

that. I know you want to talk about the Tom Price try, we talked a lot

:56:22.:56:24.

about teams that have a plan when they are near the line and they are

:56:25.:56:32.

in close proximity. I was talking to Hadley and he confirmed it.

:56:33.:56:34.

I was talking to Hadley and he confirmed it.

:56:35.:56:39.

It is about falling out or not. That bunches of the Italian defence, so

:56:40.:56:47.

they have no wit and there are gaps in between. It is meant to be

:56:48.:56:52.

Hadleigh Parkes coming again. I think Price fancied his chances. It

:56:53.:56:59.

shows they have a plan, close to the line. That is key against defences.

:57:00.:57:06.

Not so tonight, perhaps. Phil, who have you got with you? A bonus

:57:07.:57:15.

point, will you take that? It wasn't classic rugby, but job done. Good

:57:16.:57:21.

luck for your big games in Ireland. If we could pick up or not two, that

:57:22.:57:29.

would be fantastic. Many congratulations to Wayne Pivac. You

:57:30.:57:31.

could not hide your delight that a second row got a man of the match,

:57:32.:57:37.

thoroughly deserved? His partner scored a try, he was putting in

:57:38.:57:41.

crossfield kicks. The tackle at the end, it was the counter ruck he did

:57:42.:57:46.

five or ten minutes ago. He put a hell of a shift in comment came in

:57:47.:57:51.

and obliterated the ruck, got the turnover. I was nudging Martin as we

:57:52.:57:57.

were talking about it. It is about time a lock got man of the match.

:57:58.:58:04.

Not long left, Ospreys Munster, one word? Osprey have their head -- that

:58:05.:58:18.

between their teeth. That is all we have time for. Make sure you join us

:58:19.:58:23.

for Scrum V Sunday. For now, congratulations to the Scarlets. Job

:58:24.:58:24.

done.

:58:25.:58:26.
