:00:26. > :01:01.England, in such control. It's a penalty against Wales. Wales will be

:01:02. > :01:16.on the scoreboard at last. Wales score! Six minutes to go. A third

:01:17. > :01:29.try. What drama is left. England survive the late challenge by Wales.

:01:30. > :01:38.Hello, good evening to you. Welcome to the Six Nations special, yes it

:01:39. > :01:49.is defeat but if you are looking for therapy, we have a doctor in the

:01:50. > :01:59.house. And that was it himself. Also joining us, Wales's under 20s.

:02:00. > :02:03.Wales's women are here as well. Only one place to start. Sadly it at

:02:04. > :02:11.Twickenham, the ultimate game of two halves. Fast Eddy was focused on the

:02:12. > :02:15.draw, firing shots off about the legality of Wales this progress, gin

:02:16. > :02:22.but both coaches were conservative and confident when it came to

:02:23. > :02:28.selection, naming unchanged teams. Who would win with the unstoppable

:02:29. > :02:35.force met the immovable object? There was an appointment in the

:02:36. > :02:42.midfielder waiting room. Gareth Davies and Dan Biggar left Darren

:02:43. > :02:43.Brown in a foul mood last time but who would be heroes and villains of

:02:44. > :02:59.this time around? Brown for the line! Wales scurry

:03:00. > :03:06.back, it is loose. Rob Evans got back, did he get a hand on the ball?

:03:07. > :03:16.That's an knock-on, isn't it? Or is it a rolling along the ground?

:03:17. > :03:27.Hartley... Roberts with the tackle. The defence has recovered. Paul

:03:28. > :03:30.Clinton could work, I think that was legal. Jamie Roberts gave away the

:03:31. > :04:00.penalty. On the lake there, doesn't roll

:04:01. > :04:08.over? I think that such right. -- that is a try. Inconclusive. Held

:04:09. > :04:16.up, five metre scrum. You have been overruled again!

:04:17. > :04:26.That wasn't so smoothly than by England.

:04:27. > :04:33.Anthony Watson! And England, in full control, just after the half hour

:04:34. > :04:50.mark. The referee lets England counter

:04:51. > :05:12.rack. And it's a penalty to England. Everything going their way.

:05:13. > :05:18.Wales will be on the scoreboard at last! A gift from England. Great

:05:19. > :05:32.work from Dan Biggar. More worry, Warburton does not look

:05:33. > :05:43.good. Thank goodness for that, thumbs up.

:05:44. > :05:55.The referee's puzzle has gone, it won't count. It went off and England

:05:56. > :06:10.player, was it forward out of Jonathan Davies's grasp?

:06:11. > :06:37.Faletau for the line! Wales, a third try! Is their time? After the

:06:38. > :06:48.conversion there will be a couple of minutes left.

:06:49. > :06:56.England's defence around the fringes, solid. George North for the

:06:57. > :07:02.line! He is in touch. That's it, think. Ten seconds to go, the

:07:03. > :07:13.referee's whistle has gone. They should take the line-out.

:07:14. > :07:17.Danny Care kicks it into the crowd and England survive the late

:07:18. > :07:22.challenge by Wales. We will get the views of our guests

:07:23. > :07:38.soon. We just didn't turn up, unlike us, I

:07:39. > :07:42.said in the box after 25 minutes, do I need to make some changes? Make

:07:43. > :07:48.some replacements to get some energy, because it was very unlike

:07:49. > :07:56.ask, very disappointing and it cost us the game. It was one game for 60

:07:57. > :07:59.minutes and another game for 20, the cubicle at knife-point in the first

:08:00. > :08:06.60 because the last 20 belong to Wales. A funny performance by us,

:08:07. > :08:10.times we were immaculate, really sharp, intense, but then be dropped

:08:11. > :08:17.off at the end. We weren't at the races first off, I'm not sure what

:08:18. > :08:21.it was, then they were too far ahead of us and we gave away some soft

:08:22. > :08:27.penalties as well in the second half, it has cost us. I was happy

:08:28. > :08:32.the way we played the first 40 minutes, we were aggressive, played

:08:33. > :08:34.on the front foot, it's a shame we didn't replicate the first half in

:08:35. > :08:41.the second half but that's something we can work on. You always believe,

:08:42. > :08:46.which just wished it went on for another couple of minutes but

:08:47. > :08:52.England played well, then you the work how to slow it down and stuff,

:08:53. > :08:59.credit to them but we were second at the races. I don't know what the

:09:00. > :09:02.answer is, I will be honest and say you have to begrudge goal of

:09:03. > :09:06.yourself and say we didn't have enough energy in the first half,

:09:07. > :09:12.very unlike us. Wales have been together for eight years, we have

:09:13. > :09:15.been together for six weeks so to put in a performance like that shows

:09:16. > :09:20.where the team is going, we have work to do and we're not the

:09:21. > :09:21.finished product. Congratulations to them, they have won the Triple Crown

:09:22. > :09:30.and they deserved to win today. Not only that but also the Six

:09:31. > :09:36.Nations title after what happened at Murrayfield. Good evening to you.

:09:37. > :09:43.Must be a pleasant drive across the Severn Bridge for you? A bit easier

:09:44. > :09:46.than last time! Was it Wales absolutely terrible in the first

:09:47. > :09:55.half or working and that dominant? It's a combination, England were

:09:56. > :09:59.smart, they attacked the fringes of Sean's defence, they went short side

:10:00. > :10:04.against Cuthbert and they just start Wales of traditional reference

:10:05. > :10:09.points to get them into the game, and for 40 minutes, they had nothing

:10:10. > :10:14.to feed on, they couldn't get a collision, penalties within leaking

:10:15. > :10:19.field position and you ally that to an uncharacteristic Wales 40

:10:20. > :10:23.minutes, they have been big occasions before because the coaches

:10:24. > :10:28.will think, what did we get wrong? This is a side that has gone to

:10:29. > :10:32.Twickenham and was successful there, they nailed the game in the World

:10:33. > :10:39.Cup with the experience they have, you wouldn't expect them to see what

:10:40. > :10:43.turned up for 40 minutes. Sometimes there isn't a straightforward

:10:44. > :10:48.explanation for those performances. In theory could have been looking at

:10:49. > :10:51.30 points in the first 40 minutes because there was no foothold for

:10:52. > :10:59.Wales at all, just a couple of glimpses of chances, that scoreline

:11:00. > :11:03.could have really been bigger. Take yourself back to the 2011 Rugby

:11:04. > :11:06.World Cup quarterfinal, Wales getting off to a blistering start

:11:07. > :11:14.against Ireland, that is something we have seen under Gatland, they

:11:15. > :11:21.were so ordinary in the first half. Not a lot to add to what Dean said.

:11:22. > :11:25.It was and characteristic. We pride ourselves on our defence, these are

:11:26. > :11:30.some of the missed chances. I thought we kicked poorly as well.

:11:31. > :11:36.This is the back three, and in fairness to England, they are

:11:37. > :11:38.grasping the initiative of the new game, you see in the Southern

:11:39. > :11:46.Hemisphere, when they get the ball, they think, how can I score a try,

:11:47. > :11:51.how can I eat the guy, get pace into the game? The back three just

:11:52. > :11:56.embodied that. -- how can I eat the guy.

:11:57. > :12:04.It came from a kick in the first half, we didn't chase as well as we

:12:05. > :12:10.normally do, it was uncharacteristic but I think we were flat, every time

:12:11. > :12:16.we came into their half, gave a penalty away or whatever it was,

:12:17. > :12:19.that was unusual, we were flat, slow, ponderous, and we offered

:12:20. > :12:31.nothing, it's the worst performance under Warren Gatland, the first

:12:32. > :12:35.half. Do you endorse the behaviour of coaches, publicly saying that the

:12:36. > :12:41.players were showing a lack of enthusiasm yesterday? It's

:12:42. > :12:46.difficult, but anyone who watched the game would say that tactically,

:12:47. > :12:54.Wales knew what they have to do to beat England, the performance wasn't

:12:55. > :12:57.there by the players. The players will be hurting more than myself or

:12:58. > :13:01.the fans because it was a poor performance and it affects them,

:13:02. > :13:07.they just lack intensity from the start. Defensively, like we have

:13:08. > :13:14.mentioned, the worst defensive record under Warren Gatland. If he

:13:15. > :13:20.had any hair, you would have pulled it out at half-time. But there are

:13:21. > :13:23.positives, the way they came back in the final quarter, goes to show they

:13:24. > :13:28.were frustrated, they weren't happy with their performance, but a lot of

:13:29. > :13:32.work to be done, it was a strange game to what is a Welsh man because

:13:33. > :13:38.you look for your big players, the one to have consistently played well

:13:39. > :13:44.for Wales over the years and unfortunately they were second to

:13:45. > :13:47.the English players yesterday. We hear of Wales wanting to play a more

:13:48. > :13:54.expansive game but in attack they looked like they didn't know what

:13:55. > :14:00.they were doing. He has earned the right to play wide, but the options

:14:01. > :14:04.off then big, they weren't options. He has gone for a switch, Jamie

:14:05. > :14:10.Roberts has run straight into Dan Biggar but he was the only option.

:14:11. > :14:16.There was no blindside option, no inside option, it's really not much

:14:17. > :14:21.that he can do there. That wasn't the only incident, there were times

:14:22. > :14:27.when they took the ball flat, there weren't any options. If you look at

:14:28. > :14:31.those instances, if you were going to galvanise that side, you would

:14:32. > :14:37.want a line-out, get it off the top, put Jamie Roberts... They didn't

:14:38. > :14:42.have any of that. So any ball they had, they were playing in broken

:14:43. > :14:56.field which suited the English team. There are times when Care -- Biggar

:14:57. > :15:03.looks, where is the... The scrum was under pressure, so the traditional

:15:04. > :15:09.Gatland start point, that get everything in behind, attrition,

:15:10. > :15:17.direct, weren't there. But Wales were gifting England opportunities.

:15:18. > :15:23.England looked dynamic in attack, they were very smart at getting the

:15:24. > :15:25.outside edge. I think the mayhem he would have caused going to the

:15:26. > :15:32.caller would have created an opportunity. This was there all the

:15:33. > :15:40.time for England. He should have nailed his man and put Watson over.

:15:41. > :15:44.But we had some star points, we had a line-out after 37 minutes, it

:15:45. > :15:51.wasn't great position, and then we had a series of 11 rocks or phases

:15:52. > :15:54.and we passed the ball five times, we're playing against England, with

:15:55. > :15:59.the muscle heads they have got in their back row and we pick and

:16:00. > :16:06.drive, that's our choice, then we had a series of scrums at about 55

:16:07. > :16:11.minutes in their 22 and we did exactly the same, pick and drive.

:16:12. > :16:13.Four months ago we were playing against Australia, desperate to

:16:14. > :16:17.spread the field, look what they did in the last 20 minutes when we did

:16:18. > :16:24.throw the ball about, its place in rugby. We have just had the World

:16:25. > :16:27.Cup, the lessons of the Southern Hemisphere, they are getting

:16:28. > :16:33.lighter, the game is faster, they are passing the ball more and it's

:16:34. > :16:38.only high risk rugby if your skills on good enough to catch and pass and

:16:39. > :16:44.you can't control in wide areas. We have two up skill ourselves because

:16:45. > :16:48.unless we do, playing three tests in the summer, we will be miles behind

:16:49. > :16:55.them. That is coming from the coaches? They are in a position

:16:56. > :17:00.whereby they are being told to play a certain brand of rugby. They are

:17:01. > :17:05.being encouraged to undergo back to the point you asking shame about, is

:17:06. > :17:10.Warren Gatland right to call them out? He has done it before. It might

:17:11. > :17:18.be a tactic he might want a response. He does that when he is a

:17:19. > :17:24.bit angry. He did it in 2010, he threw Ryan Jones under the bus... So

:17:25. > :17:27.he has to lead before and it might work, personally I don't like it

:17:28. > :17:32.because I think they should have loyalty and they win together and

:17:33. > :17:36.lose together, but it's a fair tactic to use but he has got to get

:17:37. > :17:44.a response. What about the coach's response? Do you rate your players

:17:45. > :17:47.publicly? If it is so obvious, there is no point spreading a line

:17:48. > :17:50.everybody can see through. There are times when you say, I don't know

:17:51. > :17:55.what happened in the first 40 minutes. You have to take some

:17:56. > :17:59.responsibility for stop there is no point saying, we were competitive

:18:00. > :18:06.and everyone just slams you for not being transparent. You have got to

:18:07. > :18:13.get the balance and it's the balance of hanging someone out to dry at a

:18:14. > :18:18.time when the -- they are feeling vulnerable, but I think he's trying

:18:19. > :18:23.to get a response for next week, get some emotional... He could have said

:18:24. > :18:30.we were poor, let energy, not they were poor... Without a doubt, but

:18:31. > :18:32.sometimes you've just watched the side you have invested so much into,

:18:33. > :18:36.that's quite an emotional moment. side you have invested so much into,

:18:37. > :19:37.couple of years ago side you have invested so much into,

:19:38. > :20:38.really talented individuals can do. He has got done

:20:39. > :20:41.really talented individuals can do. came on... It was good to see Rhys

:20:42. > :20:46.Webb back, he has been chomping at the bit, we'll know he's deadly

:20:47. > :20:52.around breakdown, he brought a bit of speed to his distribution. He got

:20:53. > :20:58.caught once by Itoje but every other Welsh player did as well. He was

:20:59. > :21:07.dangerous on the breakdown and was creating gaps for others. Rhys

:21:08. > :21:13.Priest and I think did well, he took the ball going forward, took it to

:21:14. > :21:19.the English line, created problems and George North and Wales scored a

:21:20. > :21:23.great try from a simple move. Why don't we play rugby, why do really

:21:24. > :21:29.bit so late, the game was finished? Possibly because Wales didn't start

:21:30. > :21:33.well. It's just a simple pass when you look at it but the off-load by

:21:34. > :21:40.Liam Williams, the follow-up play by Jonathan Davies puts George North

:21:41. > :21:44.there. At times Wales tried forcing things when it wasn't on, under

:21:45. > :21:48.pressure by England, they made a lot of mistakes and errors, when they

:21:49. > :21:54.put it together, they have really creative players. I thought I

:21:55. > :21:57.wouldn't was really good as well. The most shared image last night on

:21:58. > :22:06.social media was full of George North and the foot in touch. What

:22:07. > :22:14.was your view? It's quite clear! Split-second decision, there is no

:22:15. > :22:23.TMO, it's the call from the line to 20 is not in touch. Who is to blame?

:22:24. > :22:29.The touch judge. Would it have made a difference? Craig Joubert, last

:22:30. > :22:34.player began, does he not have the jurisdiction to say, can we have

:22:35. > :22:42.another look at that? The touch judge puts the flag up and the play

:22:43. > :22:52.stops. Do the rules need to change? The studio seems to think so.

:22:53. > :22:57.There's got to be something. Trust me, this is not from a bitter Welsh

:22:58. > :23:03.man, impartial BBC broadcaster. Imagine that is the rugby World Cup

:23:04. > :23:08.final. Surely will rugby needs to look at... It's a bit is being used

:23:09. > :23:16.for all sorts of things, a key moment like that, the TMO has to be

:23:17. > :23:19.used? If it is about a rugby World Cup trophy being handed the one

:23:20. > :23:26.country and not the other, surely it. Every time the ball goes next to

:23:27. > :23:30.touch you have to go back and have a look or wasn't in touch, start the

:23:31. > :23:36.game began. It's unfeasible to do that. Lots of the disciplinary

:23:37. > :23:44.issues to clear up. Let's take a look at this one. There is Joe

:23:45. > :23:54.Marler, Rob Evans, here comes an elbow smack in the face. I knew you

:23:55. > :23:59.would come to me first! You look at it, if we're looking at every single

:24:00. > :24:07.thing, he is guilty of striking him, realistically. How many weeks? I

:24:08. > :24:12.think about for days. Realistically, think the referee had seen that he

:24:13. > :24:18.might have had a word in his is at best. We're in danger of putting

:24:19. > :24:26.every incident, analysing it, we'll never get on with the game of rugby.

:24:27. > :24:30.A couple more disciplinary issues. This is one I want to get your view

:24:31. > :24:37.on, this is Thomas Francis. Wales had a penalty at this point,

:24:38. > :24:40.overturned. That for me is frustratingly forgot to look where

:24:41. > :24:49.you are on the field, it is Wales's ball. You mean stupidity? Your five

:24:50. > :24:55.meters from the try, you need points on the board, he has caught him in

:24:56. > :24:59.the face, end of story. There is a bit of frustration. You're not going

:25:00. > :25:06.to get away with it, so it's just stupidity. Reckless, he will get a

:25:07. > :25:12.band because world rugby are strict with anything around the eyes and

:25:13. > :25:16.face and so they should be. There was one of the big issue to discuss

:25:17. > :25:18.and that was when Joe Marler was allegedly making a racial slur at

:25:19. > :25:45.Sampson low. Samson Lee. Samson Lee has in the past spoken

:25:46. > :25:52.about how proud he is of his gypsy heritage. Clearly you could hear Joe

:25:53. > :25:57.Marleau calling him gypsy boy on the ref Mike. What should happen next?

:25:58. > :26:02.Society takes a dim view, all walks of life, without any territory term,

:26:03. > :26:09.I suppose this falls into that category. If it was a different

:26:10. > :26:16.racial term, people would be in no less doubt what should happen. They

:26:17. > :26:24.are a recognised community, the travelling community. I think he has

:26:25. > :26:27.two accept the responsibility. This situation has happened, there are

:26:28. > :26:32.ref Mike 's, the responsibility of playing international rugby now, you

:26:33. > :26:35.are fully aware of what is said across open mics and he needs to

:26:36. > :26:42.take that sponsor ability to stop we don't quite know how this gets.

:26:43. > :26:48.With, in which direction. -- take that responsibility. The RFU want to

:26:49. > :26:53.draw a line under it, that's what you do, they have said that Joe

:26:54. > :26:56.Marler apologised and was later reminded of his responsibilities as

:26:57. > :27:02.an England player by Eddie Jones. The British and macro officials are

:27:03. > :27:08.aware of the incident and Welsh rugby union says they are pleased

:27:09. > :27:11.about the apology and that Joe Marler was reminded of his

:27:12. > :27:20.responsibilities as an international rugby player. Rugby union pride

:27:21. > :27:21.itself on being a gentlemanly game, it is hard, ferocious, but when you

:27:22. > :27:28.get issues like this, surely they have to act? I think they will they

:27:29. > :27:33.do. I don't think there is any debate, but just don't really know

:27:34. > :27:39.in which direction it's to go. You can't brush it under the carpet. By

:27:40. > :27:43.apologising, he has accepted it is him, he had to deal with what was

:27:44. > :27:52.said in the context and it will be interesting to see what they do.

:27:53. > :28:02.Round of applause for our panel. Wales's under 20s are here. We will

:28:03. > :29:14.talk to Tom and Dan, that show the highlights of this weekend first.

:29:15. > :29:26.The England women are on the brink of a Grand Slam. Wales travel to

:29:27. > :29:31.Ashton Gate, Bristol, looking of a Grand Slam. Wales travel to

:29:32. > :29:34.their first ever under 20 Triple Crown. Coach Jason strange made

:29:35. > :29:42.three changes to the team that beat France. Harry Millard moved to

:29:43. > :29:46.outside centre. Reigning champions England have won just one of their

:29:47. > :29:55.three games this season but have never lost to Wales on home soil.

:29:56. > :30:01.COMMENTATOR: Driving towards the line for Wales, Shaun Evans, has he

:30:02. > :30:11.got it down? A try is awarded. Wales are on the board. The forwards coach

:30:12. > :30:19.will be delighted with what he has seen so far, and this line-out. Here

:30:20. > :30:30.is Giles, to Harry Mill ard, what a score, a second try for Wales.

:30:31. > :30:37.Beautifully conceived. Morgan Williams again directing things at

:30:38. > :30:44.the base. Getting over the advantage line again. Morgan Williams, Dan

:30:45. > :30:55.Jones, the ghosts his way through, a third for Wales. A bit of a

:30:56. > :30:59.paramedics pass that George Perkins did well to take and Wales have

:31:00. > :31:14.space on the left hand side. A little chip. And it bounces kindly

:31:15. > :31:20.for him and Giles is over. Expect a grant and shunt from England. A

:31:21. > :31:25.little bit lateral but now they have some forward momentum. Over the

:31:26. > :31:38.line, Sam Smith was at the bottom of it. Lovely strong scrum by Wales

:31:39. > :31:50.again. Harry Kenney for the posts. Great score by the number eight who

:31:51. > :31:54.has been outstanding to night. What have England got in these closing

:31:55. > :32:04.stages, it is Giles and this is officially a rout for Wales. A sixth

:32:05. > :32:11.try, a second for Giles. Dreamtime is for the Wales under 20s. The

:32:12. > :32:17.metronomic Dan Jones. That is six from six and a first ever away win

:32:18. > :32:21.in England. A lot of the boys have come back from last year, 13 or 14

:32:22. > :32:26.of us with an extra year of experience. The unity and the bond

:32:27. > :32:32.is excellent. Everyone gets on really well. It makes for

:32:33. > :32:37.performances like that. We know we have each other's backs. Wales go

:32:38. > :32:48.for the Grand Slam next week. It is live on scrum V.

:32:49. > :32:56.Well played Wales under 20s, our stars at the bar this evening are

:32:57. > :33:03.Tom Phillips and Dan Jones. Welcome. How proud are you of not only the

:33:04. > :33:07.performance but the squad atmosphere you have right now? It is a massive

:33:08. > :33:12.win for the boys. From the start we have been on food and, the

:33:13. > :33:17.togetherness of the team epitomises the performances we put in. The

:33:18. > :33:20.first three games, they were close. But we knew we would come up with a

:33:21. > :33:26.performance like we did against England. I don't think there is a

:33:27. > :33:30.better time it could have come really, against the Auld enemy. The

:33:31. > :33:35.togetherness of the boys, the coaches making us buying fast rugby

:33:36. > :33:40.came to tipping point and it paid off. Can you describe what it was

:33:41. > :33:50.like to score some many points with the boot against the Auld enemy? I

:33:51. > :33:54.suppose the forwards gave me a platform to work off. A lot of

:33:55. > :33:58.credit goes to them and their hard work during the week. The whole

:33:59. > :34:04.squad really made my job a lot easier. Tom, it will be a fantastic

:34:05. > :34:15.week, on the verge of creating some Grand Slam history? Yes, that is the

:34:16. > :34:21.idea. Had you keep your feet on the ground? All of us have bought into

:34:22. > :34:25.keeping our feet on the ground. It is in the back of our minds but we

:34:26. > :34:32.still have another game. We have to put it in place, look at Italy and

:34:33. > :34:40.put a platform on how to beat them. And hopefully take the Grand Slam.

:34:41. > :34:45.We wish you the best. Let us move from the bar, the Wales women are

:34:46. > :34:50.also here. Unfortunately, no win for them against England. I was looking

:34:51. > :34:53.at the official RBS website and they said you were completely blown away

:34:54. > :35:00.by England, did you see it like that? Not at all, we put ourselves

:35:01. > :35:04.on the back foot in the first half, we slipped off a couple of tackles

:35:05. > :35:07.which put us on the back foot but we had a kick before half-time but then

:35:08. > :35:12.came out in the second half and we were in the game. To the 80th

:35:13. > :35:16.minute, we played as if we were in the game. If we had scored in that

:35:17. > :35:22.last five or ten minutes, we were in a position to win. Definitely a step

:35:23. > :35:28.forward from a couple of years ago. You have made such big strides? We

:35:29. > :35:34.showed good defence against France and good defence in the second half

:35:35. > :35:39.yesterday against England. Going forward and into the last game next

:35:40. > :35:44.week, it is a definite positive for us. Lovely to see you, thanks to the

:35:45. > :35:50.Wales women. Let us bring you up-to-date with what happened with

:35:51. > :35:56.the under 18s, a close one as well. Meeting at the Tolbert athletic

:35:57. > :35:59.ground, a pretty jer Matic finish. Will Jones scored from a well worked

:36:00. > :36:08.driving line-out with just two minutes left. Crucially, Wales

:36:09. > :36:11.missed the conversion. England outside-half James Grayson dropped a

:36:12. > :36:18.match-winning goal to seal it with the last kick of the game. It

:36:19. > :36:26.finished 26-27. Let us get the views of Jonathan Davies on Wales and

:36:27. > :36:31.England and Scotland against France. I thought the first 15 minutes that

:36:32. > :36:36.England were very good. They created a lot of opportunities. And they

:36:37. > :36:41.missed those opportunities. Wales were very passive in defence. The

:36:42. > :36:46.kicking game did not work because they lost the aerial battle. They

:36:47. > :36:53.lost a few crucial line-out so they had no possession, no field

:36:54. > :36:57.position. It was a very poor performance. In saying that, they

:36:58. > :37:01.still created a lot of opportunities. No matter how badly

:37:02. > :37:06.they play, they snuck in and they could have won at the end. Very

:37:07. > :37:12.disappointing overall and it showed what they can do in the last 15

:37:13. > :37:19.minutes when they spread the ball about a bit. Very disappointing, the

:37:20. > :37:26.performance. But they could have lost by more. Scotland today, it has

:37:27. > :37:33.been coming for a while with Scotland. The crucial thing today,

:37:34. > :37:40.they kept going forward and playing and kept the errors out. Because of

:37:41. > :37:45.that, I thought that got them home. They took their chances well, Hogg

:37:46. > :37:52.was superb. But France, individually they'd looked good but collectively,

:37:53. > :37:56.not so good. I can see England beating France next week to win the

:37:57. > :38:02.Grand Slam. That will go down well in the studio. Thanks to Jonathan

:38:03. > :38:06.for taking time to talk to us before we came to a, impressive from

:38:07. > :38:14.Scotland? Impressive today and throughout the tournament. They had

:38:15. > :38:17.against Italy, I said if they beat them, I could see them beating

:38:18. > :38:24.France. They play with tempo and pace. And Hogg gets involved in the

:38:25. > :38:31.game and he has been superb for Scotland. They play with a lot of

:38:32. > :38:35.width and created a lot of problems for a lot of teams. Against Wales

:38:36. > :38:40.force huge parts of that game they were the better team. Really

:38:41. > :38:46.impressed and France today drifted in and out as they often do in the

:38:47. > :38:50.Six Nations. But the best team certainly one. What did you think of

:38:51. > :38:55.France post Philippe Saint Andre? I was quite optimistic, I was a big

:38:56. > :39:03.fan of the replacement after being on the sidelines for some long, he

:39:04. > :39:07.missed the first couple of kicks and because of that, the shrinks a bit.

:39:08. > :39:12.France look like a side, I know people will hate the word but

:39:13. > :39:16.structure. There are a lot of good players in that side, very physical

:39:17. > :39:21.players but nothing underpinning it. When they move, they are all moving

:39:22. > :39:26.in different directions. At times they look awful, for a side with so

:39:27. > :39:32.much ability. In the back of your mind, as France turned up back in

:39:33. > :39:38.Paris and ruined England party, I cannot see how. It gives the

:39:39. > :39:47.credibility to do that. Sadly, I agree. What French team will turn

:39:48. > :39:51.up? You always have to say that with France. I can't remember the last

:39:52. > :39:59.three or four years a decent French team turning up. 30 or 40 matches

:40:00. > :40:05.where they have lost structure. Their coach was wonderful for

:40:06. > :40:10.Toulouse tenures ago, he has got the job too late. The French league is

:40:11. > :40:15.dominating French rugby thinking. I think international rugby is well

:40:16. > :40:26.down the pecking order for them. Will the French stop England's Grand

:40:27. > :40:29.Slam juggernaut? Not a chance. No chance. No. That us turn our

:40:30. > :40:48.attention to Wales's death team. -- def. No big day than Wales

:40:49. > :41:00.against England. He will go for the line. And there have been bad days.

:41:01. > :41:05.It must be a try for England. Today, this greatest of days kicks off here

:41:06. > :41:09.at the Arms Park where the Welsh deaf team take on their English

:41:10. > :41:16.counterparts. There are very few national teams. New Zealand, South

:41:17. > :41:28.Africa and Australia. The English team have improved in the last

:41:29. > :41:31.couple of years. We are Welsh. They say the medication is sick the 70%

:41:32. > :41:38.of the game, much of that is hearing, that is the challenge, so

:41:39. > :41:42.it is a disability and a difficulty and it affects people on the pitch

:41:43. > :41:54.as well as off it. What level do you need to qualify? To say whether

:41:55. > :41:58.someone is deaf enough? There is a 25 decibels average, that means

:41:59. > :42:02.moderate hearing loss, it is surprise and, some people could very

:42:03. > :42:07.well they might never know they have a hearing loss. Some struggle with

:42:08. > :42:18.the 25 decibel average, you'd be surprised how many qualify. The

:42:19. > :42:28.punching, the passion, whatever. We have to keep our focus. That is all

:42:29. > :42:36.I am going to say. Playing rugby helps me a lot. It helps me interact

:42:37. > :42:45.with a wider range of people. It makes me feel like I am part of a

:42:46. > :42:49.genuine community. Quite a few years ago, 2005, I was with the Welsh

:42:50. > :42:53.Guards, when I returned from tour, I had a few incidents and found I had

:42:54. > :42:58.hearing loss. I took it badly and did not play rugby for four years,

:42:59. > :43:05.then came back into it. To find out there were deaf teams, days like

:43:06. > :43:09.today, Cardiff Arms Park, Wales against England, it raises

:43:10. > :43:17.awareness. Facebook groups, twitter, anyone who is hard of hearing or

:43:18. > :43:32.death, please get in touch. -- or who is deaf.

:43:33. > :43:41.Wales were the better team today. Yes, absolutely convincing. They

:43:42. > :43:44.were the better back line and overall, the better team. Wales did

:43:45. > :43:53.what they had to do and we didn't stand up to it. It would have been

:43:54. > :43:59.nice to win. They were competitive but at the end of the day, the

:44:00. > :44:06.result went our way and I think we deserved it.

:44:07. > :44:12.Many congratulations to our deaf team. No Pro12 this weekend but not

:44:13. > :45:13.long until the big one. Those games live on BBC Wales and S4

:45:14. > :45:16.C. Back to the RBS Six Nations, Ireland have been very poor in this

:45:17. > :45:26.year 's championship and yesterday they met Italy. Yellow macro to

:45:27. > :45:30.score 58 points in a Six Nations game, you have to be happy with your

:45:31. > :45:35.finishing. That is one thing we haven't been happy with. Especially

:45:36. > :45:58.in the opposition 22. Today, we were a lot better they.

:45:59. > :46:00.in the opposition 22. Today, we were will help them. Putting it in the

:46:01. > :46:08.context of Italy losing players early in the game, some second rows,

:46:09. > :46:11.that will cause disruptions that make it more difficult to compete.

:46:12. > :46:16.We were afforded more time and space than in recent weeks and that is a

:46:17. > :46:22.luxury at Test match level. At least I felt we took advantage of that

:46:23. > :46:25.luxury and put some good scores together. Being back here

:46:26. > :46:27.luxury and put some good scores little bit of pressure,

:46:28. > :46:31.luxury and put some good scores performed well in the championship.

:46:32. > :46:35.luxury and put some good scores competitive group and they always

:46:36. > :46:39.want to try and produce their best. I think you saw that today and that

:46:40. > :48:26.will be the driving factor next week.

:48:27. > :48:29.will be the driving factor next in situ a year passed the World Cup

:48:30. > :48:33.and it feels like that. You can feel the story coming to an end, no

:48:34. > :48:39.catalyst for looking forward. They missed that opportunity against

:48:40. > :48:42.France and you almost felt, they have to fire above their weight

:48:43. > :48:47.anyway to compete with the other sides, when they lost that emotion.

:48:48. > :48:54.No journey, no future about what happens next, you can feel it

:48:55. > :48:59.windowing away. Today was the end of it already full and Ireland side

:49:00. > :49:02.that desperately needed a win and to win well. Some of the criticism of

:49:03. > :49:08.Ireland is how restrictive they have been. Italy were gone in 20 or 30

:49:09. > :49:12.minutes. They have nothing to hold onto. Bizarrely in this game you

:49:13. > :49:23.need something to hang onto. Italy next for Wales and Sean has been

:49:24. > :49:26.taking a closer look. Let us not forget Wales full-back emphatic

:49:27. > :49:29.victory in the last round of last year 's tournament. Italy have

:49:30. > :49:34.strength and nothing to lose but this is surely the game where Wales

:49:35. > :49:39.unleashed their full attacking potential. Traditionally, the Italy

:49:40. > :49:43.set pieces strong, particularly the maul and Wales's defence has been

:49:44. > :49:46.improved. An effective long wall which is difficult to defend and

:49:47. > :49:52.Wales will have to be careful of giving penalties await. If Italy get

:49:53. > :49:57.close to the line, it is a potent weapon for them. The Italians are

:49:58. > :50:01.also developing a foil to that as well, a very dangerous ball catching

:50:02. > :50:07.ability of Sergio pre-season to either run the ten channel or two

:50:08. > :50:12.fill the void created closer to the ball. Bringing interest runners like

:50:13. > :50:19.scrum-half 's and Windows. The captain aside, their star has been

:50:20. > :50:25.Campagnaro, it could be a threat to Wales and his defensive tackling is

:50:26. > :50:32.very abrasive. He has had some success against Wales. Taking

:50:33. > :50:34.advantage of loose play behind the defence and spotting an interception

:50:35. > :50:44.to score a double at the Millennium Stadium. It is going to be eight I.

:50:45. > :50:49.It is the exploitation of the forward players where Wales can get

:50:50. > :50:53.some massive plusses. In the mid-channels after long defensive

:50:54. > :50:58.sets, they get tired and if Wales can build phases they can be

:50:59. > :51:04.exploited. Look how they have to push off and Finn Russell takes full

:51:05. > :51:08.advantage. Wales have these runners in abundance. The inform scrum-half

:51:09. > :51:11.will take full advantage if the Italian front row leave this much

:51:12. > :51:15.space between them around the fringes. Any line breaks could be

:51:16. > :51:21.crucially finished off by the potent back three of Wales. Cast your way

:51:22. > :51:30.back to last years final round of championship, while's -- Wales's

:51:31. > :51:35.tactics it out perfectly. Great support play from the forwards. This

:51:36. > :51:46.leaves Italy vulnerable and disorganised. If Wales can play with

:51:47. > :51:50.tempo and pace, the Italians will drop off after a long championship

:51:51. > :52:00.and it could be an enjoyable day in Cardiff for the men in red.

:52:01. > :52:06.That was a great game in Rome last year, I cannot think of a time where

:52:07. > :52:13.Wales have been involved in a dead rubber on the final Saturday. It has

:52:14. > :52:19.been a while, that is how competitive they have been in recent

:52:20. > :52:28.years. But not this time. What would you do? Give some fringe players an

:52:29. > :52:32.opportunity? I would not drop down bigger, a few month ago, he was BBC

:52:33. > :52:39.Wales sport personality of the year for his relics in the World Cup.

:52:40. > :52:46.APPLAUSE He is not perfect and he is not as

:52:47. > :52:48.good as Rhys Priestland in the things that Rhys Priestland does

:52:49. > :52:54.well and there are not many people as good as Rhys Priestland -- Rhys

:52:55. > :52:59.Priestland doing that. He is likely to be our future ten for some time.

:53:00. > :53:05.We beat England by 30 points with him at ten and 50 points Italy with

:53:06. > :53:10.him at ten. It is a mindset. When we need to go out and scored tries like

:53:11. > :53:15.we did and the last ten minutes, we play differently. We need to grab

:53:16. > :53:25.some of that in our plan. I do think we need a new right wing, I will say

:53:26. > :53:30.that much. We were in Rome last year and that second-half, when Wales

:53:31. > :53:35.play, they can play. Do we need an ex-factor? Matthew Morgan had a

:53:36. > :53:41.great 30 minutes against Fiji, would you go with him? You are probably

:53:42. > :53:48.fed up of me saying his name, you have a player in your midst, I have

:53:49. > :53:51.trained with a lot of players, he is one of the most attacking players

:53:52. > :53:57.Wales have at the moment. A fantastic talent. Why put him in the

:53:58. > :54:01.squad if you are not even putting him on the bench? It has been

:54:02. > :54:04.frustrating. I know what he is capable of doing, he gives Warren

:54:05. > :54:09.Gatland a heart attack at times with what he does but especially for this

:54:10. > :54:17.game, there is nothing on it, give a guy like Matthew chance and he will

:54:18. > :54:21.create things. Lots of debate in Rugby clubs around the country over

:54:22. > :54:26.whether Rhys Webb should start in place of Gareth Davies. We would not

:54:27. > :54:30.have won at Twickenham without Gareth Davies, fantastic energy

:54:31. > :54:36.levels but do you think this is the perfect opportunity to bring Rhys

:54:37. > :54:42.Webb back in? Spoilt for choice, they are quite similar. They both

:54:43. > :54:45.make a lot of line, they are good around the breakdown and Italy are

:54:46. > :54:51.very poor at defending that. Rhys Webb has from injury, great to see

:54:52. > :54:54.him back on the part, he definitely made an impact. A lot quicker in the

:54:55. > :54:59.breakdown and getting the ball away quicker than Gareth Davies. What a

:55:00. > :55:01.headache to have, maybe we will see Rhys Webb involved and he could

:55:02. > :55:12.bring tempo into the game. When Wales are on the front foot, they

:55:13. > :55:17.are good. I love coming down, you have to remember what has created

:55:18. > :55:21.this level of expectation, it is the way Wales play, the amount of wins

:55:22. > :55:25.in the 6-nation. It is about evolving that forward. You cannot

:55:26. > :55:30.jump to everything being about the last ten minutes. You have to try

:55:31. > :55:34.and find that balance. That is the challenge, Warren Gatland will be

:55:35. > :55:38.aware of that challenge. He will start to move the game, they will

:55:39. > :55:42.just give a different slant on the game. We are out of time but I do

:55:43. > :55:52.need to say that Tomas Francis has in the last unit -- few minutes has

:55:53. > :55:58.been cited. My thanks to you all. Also to the Wales under 20s, bring

:55:59. > :56:04.that Grand Slam home, and to the Wales women. Very disappointing at

:56:05. > :56:10.Twickenham, no wins but now the nation has to get behind the under

:56:11. > :56:21.20s, I grand slam is up for grabs, come on boys. Here is their anthem.

:56:22. > :57:00.Harry Miller ard. That could be a killer blow for Wales.

:57:01. > :57:09.What a score. He ghosts his way through. England have been

:57:10. > :57:20.obliterated.
