:00:17. > :00:21.The Welsh, widely written off for this Championship, a fast start here
:00:22. > :00:24.at Rome, and then momentum will build.
:00:25. > :00:34.Looking to work at around the fringes, and over they tell! Wales
:00:35. > :00:46.are stunned! Jonathan Davies. It has taken some time to come. Jonathan
:00:47. > :00:53.Davies again, and he was Williams. North heads for the posts. There
:00:54. > :00:55.will be no bonus point for Wales. They had to scrap and scrape for it,
:00:56. > :01:04.but they have got the win. APPLAUSE
:01:05. > :01:08.Believe me, welcome to Scrum V. We toiled in the first half but got
:01:09. > :01:11.there in the end. 13 unanswered points in the second at means Wales
:01:12. > :01:16.are top of the table after Round 1 of the Six Nations. Here to the
:01:17. > :01:26.bones of the victory in Rome, please welcome Ian Gough. Jeremy Guscott.
:01:27. > :01:32.Rugby writer Stephen Jones. And of course our regular Sean Holley. And
:01:33. > :01:40.a very warm welcome again this evening to me you go presenter
:01:41. > :01:43.Katrin. Thank you, and a warm welcome to our studio audience this
:01:44. > :01:58.evening. An excitable and rowdy bunch. Let's hear it please...
:01:59. > :02:02.CHEERING They are excited, and it even just
:02:03. > :02:08.up the road. CHEERING
:02:09. > :02:10.And they got after winning start in Milan on Friday, but can they keep
:02:11. > :02:12.their hands on the trophy? That is the big question. It is the under
:02:13. > :02:24.20s. CHEERING
:02:25. > :02:28.It is lively here for Sunday! The ultimate game of two halves, I guess
:02:29. > :02:33.you could call that. Now the dust has settled, what's your assessment?
:02:34. > :02:36.The first 20 minutes I thought, positive start, didn't seem to get
:02:37. > :02:40.anywhere. In that middle third would have been worried, but how they
:02:41. > :02:43.finished the game, that confidence, getting those tries on the board.
:02:44. > :02:49.They will be gutted they didn't get the bonus point in the end. But they
:02:50. > :02:53.will be happy with that. Jeremy, just like yesterday with England, so
:02:54. > :02:58.much to work on actually, but both coaches looking ahead to next week
:02:59. > :03:03.have something to work on. You are hoping they have a lot of work on,
:03:04. > :03:07.that's what you would need. I guess to win ugly takes a little bit of
:03:08. > :03:11.edge of the victory, but they will be first of all happy they did get
:03:12. > :03:15.the win, and pleased that they have so much to work on. 15 in a row,
:03:16. > :03:20.confidence is still high. The positives are that they created
:03:21. > :03:25.enough, just didn't allow to get across the line. Next Saturday year
:03:26. > :03:30.will be much different. It has been an intriguing opening weekend. The
:03:31. > :03:33.near upset at Twickenham, and that epic encounter at Murrayfield, the
:03:34. > :03:39.game of the weekend, no shadow of the doubt, the tournament is wide
:03:40. > :03:41.open. Yes, after yesterday for all four of the teams yesterday could
:03:42. > :03:46.still content for the title. It was a fantastic opening day. What
:03:47. > :03:49.worries me is that I don't think Wales were anything like the level
:03:50. > :03:53.of the four teams yesterday. They will be delighted to win and finish,
:03:54. > :03:57.but I don't think they haven't off a lot to find before they play
:03:58. > :04:00.England. Sean, finishing well, as you mention, but how annoyed will be
:04:01. > :04:08.be when they wake up not to have got that bonus point? I think you be
:04:09. > :04:15.pleased tonight. It will be a sticky start potentially, Ireland under a
:04:16. > :04:18.new resume, the finished strongly with that too many injuries, but I
:04:19. > :04:22.agree, they will probably recover the morning and think, had we gone
:04:23. > :04:25.for it a bit more we could have got a bonus point. It will be a lot
:04:26. > :04:29.tougher next week. It will indeed. We will discuss all this and more in
:04:30. > :04:35.the next few minutes. But let's look back. A few hours ago, let's see
:04:36. > :04:48.exactly how Wales got the Italian job done in Rome a few hours ago.
:04:49. > :05:02.Again it is Alun Wyn Jones. Samson Lee, moving forward. A couple more
:05:03. > :05:07.earnest surges well see them there. Get it away, and that is loose. And
:05:08. > :05:17.Halfpenny thinks he might have snaffled it. He has overrun the
:05:18. > :05:29.ball. No, he's got it. The noise building inside the Stadio Olimpico.
:05:30. > :05:33.Italy are reassembling. Having set up all, looking work it. Around the
:05:34. > :05:35.fringes and over they tell! Have they got it down? The referee says
:05:36. > :06:02.yes. Wales are stunned. Wales are earnest and pressing, and
:06:03. > :06:14.win the penalty. A vital score, you feel. Owens again. You've got to get
:06:15. > :06:22.outside Venditti, under the posts. That is where the movement is. Two
:06:23. > :06:25.passes, there you go. They go wide, Jonathan Davies... In the end it was
:06:26. > :06:38.easy! Good line speed. Really good
:06:39. > :06:50.pressure from the Italians. Looks to go wide to Davies, Williams. And
:06:51. > :06:58.here is Lee Williams. Try, too. Can't find the space. It falls by
:06:59. > :07:03.Venditti. That is a decent tidy job by Sam Davies who has just waited
:07:04. > :07:08.long enough, George North sets off. In pain or not, he has got the
:07:09. > :07:10.beating of Luke McLean. North heads for the posts, and Wales have their
:07:11. > :07:25.third. Lovely little kick through. Gareth
:07:26. > :07:30.Davies is after it. This is like England in the World Cup all over
:07:31. > :07:34.again. Gathered in eventually by Campagnaro of Italy, and maybe that
:07:35. > :07:40.is the bonus point opportunity gone. Or not... The Italians are playing
:07:41. > :07:50.with fire. The ball has been stolen, and Liam Williams will claim it. No,
:07:51. > :08:01.he is short. He's not going to get it from there, easy? Easy? No.
:08:02. > :08:05.REFEREE: Game over. There will be no bonus point for Wales, but they have
:08:06. > :08:10.the win. As expected, very tough 60 minutes. Scored a couple of tries.
:08:11. > :08:18.But they will have to pick their game up next week. STUDIO: Just
:08:19. > :08:24.missing out on that precious four try bonus point. Confirmation them,
:08:25. > :08:31.Wales are top of the pile after Round 1 of the Six Nations. That is
:08:32. > :08:36.how they did the business on the pitch. This is what they had to stay
:08:37. > :08:40.fit. We know how tough it is to come to Italy. Coached by three fantastic
:08:41. > :08:45.cultures, and we knew how difficult it was, and in terms of the
:08:46. > :08:47.conditions, made it even more tough. I have to praise our guys because I
:08:48. > :08:52.thought our discipline was absolutely fantastic. To go through
:08:53. > :08:57.a game in terms of discipline and number of penalties, it is about
:08:58. > :09:01.trusting your systems, trusting your mates, and we didn't give away any
:09:02. > :09:04.easy penalties, which enabled them to get field position, particularly
:09:05. > :09:08.in the first half, which was key in those conditions. We were pretty
:09:09. > :09:14.level-headed and half-time. Even though we were under pressure. Like
:09:15. > :09:20.I say, from our own doing, but also from a committed Italian side. When
:09:21. > :09:23.we came out it was a case of getting the ball down the park and shutting
:09:24. > :09:28.it down to a degree, because we knew we would get opportunities. What you
:09:29. > :09:32.make of Sam Davies in the second half? I thought he played
:09:33. > :09:39.particularly well when he came on. He can do what we thought he could
:09:40. > :09:42.do. He has come on in a difficult game, created opportunities for
:09:43. > :09:47.others, created space, showed composure. And we are fortunate on
:09:48. > :09:53.with Owen Williams to have three 10s in training we see each other under
:09:54. > :09:59.pressure. But Sam Warburton was outstanding today. His pressure on
:10:00. > :10:04.the ball, and having to 7s, the ability on the park to make
:10:05. > :10:06.decisions when we have not got the ball, certainly benefited us
:10:07. > :10:11.throughout the first half in particular when obviously Italy had
:10:12. > :10:17.possession in our white zone, are 22. We have some key turnovers, and
:10:18. > :10:21.I'm delighted with the back row balance and also in terms of their
:10:22. > :10:28.discipline. Because ultimately discipline in international rugby is
:10:29. > :10:32.what wins you games. There we are. Rob Howley sounding pretty positive
:10:33. > :10:36.there. Stephen, you are a journalist, tell us, tomorrow
:10:37. > :10:43.morning, what would be your headline on that game? Just so much work to
:10:44. > :10:47.do. You have to be done off the mark, you have to judge yourself by
:10:48. > :10:51.the standard of the others. And I was rude is appointed with some of
:10:52. > :10:55.the things the Welsh did. It is nice to have two 7s, I think it is better
:10:56. > :11:03.to have one you merit seven and one 6. If you look in the modern-day,
:11:04. > :11:07.forwards, the likes of Vunipola come they are absolutely always in the
:11:08. > :11:11.game. They are tackling and carrying. We did not see the Welsh
:11:12. > :11:14.front row, especially the starting front row, taking any part in the
:11:15. > :11:19.game. Things have changed now, you want to see more from them. I think
:11:20. > :11:24.they have to improve massively on that otherwise England will put them
:11:25. > :11:27.away. You mentioned this at the top, but in terms of working out tomorrow
:11:28. > :11:30.morning and assessing it in the cold light of day, to what extent does
:11:31. > :11:36.the second half but town for the lacklustre first half? It on the
:11:37. > :11:39.scoreboard, isn't it? These boys will tell you that international
:11:40. > :11:42.rugby is about winning and they have done that. We'll have felt pressure
:11:43. > :11:46.off the back of the autumn, with some injuries. Difficult conditions.
:11:47. > :11:49.I think we would have been nervous about the game, if I'm honest. So
:11:50. > :11:54.they are pleased with themselves, it is a good win in the end. It is a
:11:55. > :12:01.Six Nations win, they are often running, and they have some
:12:02. > :12:05.confidence in there. If Dan Biggar is injured... There are questions to
:12:06. > :12:10.ask. But they had the job to do and they did it. You're going to be a
:12:11. > :12:12.bit rusty. Scotland are the only team I think that went off the
:12:13. > :12:16.blocks like they were hungry and wanted to prove everybody wrong but
:12:17. > :12:20.they are good side. I think what was confident and positive from Wales,
:12:21. > :12:28.when you have a sin-bin, you have to take advantage. Wales scored two
:12:29. > :12:31.good tries. Yes, it was against 14, but that is what you are presented
:12:32. > :12:36.with. Italy were always good to come out of the blocks. The always win
:12:37. > :12:41.the first few games when they win. You have been in this position
:12:42. > :12:49.before. Is that how the players will be, positive with that win? Yes,
:12:50. > :12:54.sure. But we lost, are getting also to gestures at our fans. But yes,
:12:55. > :13:00.they will be ecstatic to get that win. They finished the game was such
:13:01. > :13:03.confidence. If you finish the game on a bad wicket, if you want, you
:13:04. > :13:10.take that into Virginia runs, but the finish strong and took their
:13:11. > :13:14.chances. Very clinical to get those tries. And they can pick the bones
:13:15. > :13:17.about where they went wrong early in the game and leap forward to next
:13:18. > :13:22.week. Someone else who was superb, someone or you are a fan of, his
:13:23. > :13:26.introduction was fortuitous, Sam Davies, and he was the catalyst for
:13:27. > :13:31.everything that Wales did well, he had a hand in all three tries. His
:13:32. > :13:36.natural instinct is to go for the line, go for the gap or make a
:13:37. > :13:42.little pass. His vision is wide. An all-encompassing. The difficulty is
:13:43. > :13:46.he's not playing alongside the guys we can, week out. If it was a
:13:47. > :13:50.clubmate fear they would be more in June with him. But I thought the
:13:51. > :13:52.combination of Davis, Williams, Davis, and the beginnings of
:13:53. > :13:57.something that could be quite special. Dan Biggar for me is a
:13:58. > :14:01.quality player, but if you want to play to the line and test a defence,
:14:02. > :14:06.then Sam's instinct is the way you would go. Maybe even think in the
:14:07. > :14:11.future of the Davies, Biggar. If that is what you want to do, play a
:14:12. > :14:15.bit wider. I'm sure we'll does just that later on. Indeed. Just
:14:16. > :14:19.wondering, we spoke so much during the autumn internationals about
:14:20. > :14:27.changing the style, and needed to be some soul-searching. , have you seen
:14:28. > :14:34.any signs are that this afternoon? I think first half was all rubbish.
:14:35. > :14:39.When you start talking about changing style, it is very difficult
:14:40. > :14:43.thing to do, because the opposition or the weather or the conditions
:14:44. > :14:47.might not allow you to play in that style. You need to be flexible,
:14:48. > :14:52.which is what Eddie Jones is trying to do. To play in any style you can.
:14:53. > :14:56.But the Warren Boulton, Wales must have to forget all the good things
:14:57. > :15:00.they did. And since then it looks to me like the falling between two
:15:01. > :15:05.stools, and it is neither Warren, nor the new style. Wales surely a
:15:06. > :15:08.good enough as a country, and they have good enough players to play
:15:09. > :15:11.heads up and see what the conditions in the opposition dictate. A bit of
:15:12. > :15:16.injury news on that Dan Biggar red injury. He will be assessed
:15:17. > :15:21.tomorrow. No information yet on whether he will be fit for next
:15:22. > :15:24.week. And George North, that dead like, despite slightly running for
:15:25. > :15:28.the tricolour he will be assessed. To doubt for next week hopefully
:15:29. > :15:32.they will both come through. I want a doctor but the Italians. We talked
:15:33. > :15:36.about Wales' deficiencies, and Rob Howley reference the weather and the
:15:37. > :15:39.fact that conditions were more severe than anticipated. How much
:15:40. > :15:42.credit should be give to Italy for their aggressive line speed and the
:15:43. > :15:46.fight begins Wales no room to manoeuvre despite the fact Wales and
:15:47. > :15:54.Italy % possession and one stage? First half, I agree. They probally
:15:55. > :16:00.followed a bit of a game plan. They picked and went a bit. I think
:16:01. > :16:05.second half we saw the old Italians, if I'm honest. Ill discipline. I
:16:06. > :16:11.don't think they look very good. The middle and good in the second half
:16:12. > :16:14.when Campagnaro came on. He hasn't been in the camp, he has been at
:16:15. > :16:17.Exeter Chiefs, has come back from a series of injuries. But I still
:16:18. > :16:25.think they lack quality at the American mind and new merit ten.
:16:26. > :16:30.That is crucial in rugby. The scrum was reversed after Wales made the
:16:31. > :16:34.changes, made a difference. Looking forward to some analysis from you
:16:35. > :16:41.shone in a moment. Let's hear from a few familiar faces now. As expected,
:16:42. > :16:45.a tough game. First 62 minutes are always great to be brittle. The
:16:46. > :16:48.absorber and came back and scored a couple of tries to win quite
:16:49. > :16:54.comfortable towards the end, and it's a shame not to get the bonus
:16:55. > :16:59.point. A few problems in the first half, as slow ball in when
:17:00. > :17:05.recycling. The Italian defence was organised. Didn't show a lot of
:17:06. > :17:13.creativity. I thought Sam Davies had a good game when he came on. A good
:17:14. > :17:16.result. I think Wales will be content with the victory in Rome.
:17:17. > :17:20.First half they came through comfortably, and there were always
:17:21. > :17:24.comfortable even if they were a bit shaky during that second quarter.
:17:25. > :17:27.The thing that struck me is that we should not have to wait for an hour
:17:28. > :17:30.before we are scoring tries. We have to be more adventurous and more
:17:31. > :17:34.creative early in the game, especially playing against better
:17:35. > :17:37.sites. The lesson I learned yesterday watching Scotland was that
:17:38. > :17:41.they won the game in the first 20 minutes with the pressure and the
:17:42. > :17:45.tries the reason. And that set the tone for the game. We will be
:17:46. > :17:51.conservative to begin with, understandably perhaps away from
:17:52. > :17:58.home and under pressure. Those boys got the trip out to Rome. Shone, by
:17:59. > :18:00.contrast, spent the day in and engendered Sweet. I'm sure it's
:18:01. > :18:05.worth it, though what do you have for us? They may rue the lack of a
:18:06. > :18:10.bonus point, but be happy with the win. Unidentified a definite turning
:18:11. > :18:13.point in the game. They kicked a lot early on, Dan Biggar exploding space
:18:14. > :18:17.because the Italians were out of position, the ten and in this case
:18:18. > :18:20.the 15 offering a lot of space to get into. But they did a little bit
:18:21. > :18:26.too often for me in the first half, and the Italians got cute to it.
:18:27. > :18:30.Tommaso Benvenuti scans the situation, reads it and stuff so any
:18:31. > :18:34.threat of a try. And the Italians grew in confidence especially around
:18:35. > :18:39.the scrum where they had the upper hand. This was a turnover scrum.
:18:40. > :18:42.Parisse was phenomenal for the first half an hour and George North yearly
:18:43. > :18:47.saving a try, Parisse again nearly getting over but being held up. A
:18:48. > :18:55.huge amount of pressure, and Wales were penalised. Samson Lee under all
:18:56. > :18:57.sorts of problems. The old Italians might have kicked three points here,
:18:58. > :19:03.but with confidence they went for another scrum. Just watch brands
:19:04. > :19:06.team here, brilliant in this game, an inside pass to Parisse, and he is
:19:07. > :19:14.nearly over. But tactically, they were prepared. This group of players
:19:15. > :19:19.are waiting for all. Luke McLean as a back, getting in there, they keep
:19:20. > :19:23.the ball off the floor, stay on their feet, and Wales had no answer
:19:24. > :19:28.to this. But credit Rob Howley, he made the changes when needed. Two
:19:29. > :19:32.front row coming off, that made a difference. Italy became ill
:19:33. > :19:35.disposed, Lovotti gets down on his knee, and when they get back up the
:19:36. > :19:41.scrum goes around the outside. That was enough indiscretion but the
:19:42. > :19:44.referee who had had enough giving away penalties, and he gave Lovotti
:19:45. > :19:49.his marching orders with a yellow card. Wales had to make territory
:19:50. > :19:51.and pressure and make the extra mankind. Sam Davies showing sublime
:19:52. > :19:58.skills to off-load this under huge pressure. Composer from Williams,
:19:59. > :20:03.and Jonathan gets over what was the turning point of the match full
:20:04. > :20:08.stop. You have been in that situation, how difficult is it to
:20:09. > :20:13.play with one man down? It is pretty the moralising. When you think the
:20:14. > :20:18.Italians, stereotypically they are creaking around at 60 minute mark,
:20:19. > :20:20.so to use from five forward... They had a purple patch in the middle
:20:21. > :20:25.third, the Italians. They just didn't make it pay enough. All of a
:20:26. > :20:29.sudden you're one man down, right up against it, and it seemed their
:20:30. > :20:32.confidence flowed away, and Wales got that confidence on their side
:20:33. > :20:36.and punched through. It's the same old story in that respect, Jerry,
:20:37. > :20:41.Italian indiscipline, embarked on them. That was their 50th penalty
:20:42. > :20:46.that led to Lovotti's yellow card. Wales are conceded two at that
:20:47. > :20:55.point. Ultimately, you can see that many -- if you concede that managed.
:20:56. > :20:58.You cannot give away penalties in good positions with the best
:20:59. > :21:05.marksman in world rugby. It is like banging your head against a brick
:21:06. > :21:08.wall. It was a good start, because some of these guys are not playing
:21:09. > :21:12.the highest level of rugby, their fitness will drop off and stop it
:21:13. > :21:18.seems to me that the home nations' fitness has actually increased.
:21:19. > :21:20.Stephen, you mentioned Connor. He has mentioned this journey that
:21:21. > :21:24.Italian rugby has been going on and hopes will continue under his reign.
:21:25. > :21:30.And be going in the right direction? Very difficult to say. The Italian
:21:31. > :21:40.team, you talk about confidence, some of those guys have hardly won a
:21:41. > :21:44.single rugby match. I have to say, that Connor, I really rate the guy.
:21:45. > :21:47.He's very sharp and good for them. But he is about the sixth Italian
:21:48. > :21:52.culture that is coming to say, we are at the start of the journey. It
:21:53. > :21:56.is not there. It is not reached a critical mass point. They are not
:21:57. > :22:00.produced players. The fly-half today struggle terribly. I'm sure there
:22:01. > :22:06.are better fly-half 's in this room, with respect to him. The journey is
:22:07. > :22:12.still on the starting blocks, I'm afraid. Jean Todt about turning
:22:13. > :22:14.point. The obvious one that game was the yellow card and the points that
:22:15. > :22:19.were scored in the absence of Lovotti. Another one, Warburton,
:22:20. > :22:23.vintage Warburton turnover on the stroke of half-time, and Italy had
:22:24. > :22:27.laid siege to that Welsh line for so long. At the scored a second try
:22:28. > :22:33.then it could have been a totally different perspective coming onto
:22:34. > :22:36.the second half. Massively. I was twitching just watching on TV! And I
:22:37. > :22:40.was watching with an English friend as well, thinking, I gave him stick
:22:41. > :22:47.in yesterday's game against France, and I were starting to worry. And
:22:48. > :22:50.Wales have big game players. We are in a little bit of an area where we
:22:51. > :22:55.need to improve in certain areas, we know that. Not firing as we have
:22:56. > :22:58.been over the years, but we still have world-class players and guys
:22:59. > :23:05.who can do it when it matters. That was a real crux where did matter.
:23:06. > :23:09.The balance is very fine, and once it goes one way or the other, it has
:23:10. > :23:11.arrived either side. There will be disappointed not to get the bonus
:23:12. > :23:15.point, but at one point everybody was nervous. It was terrific
:23:16. > :23:20.elegantly balanced. Let's switch focus to the under 20s and a woman,
:23:21. > :23:23.find and how they got on in a moment. But first, the under 20s who
:23:24. > :23:25.are the defending Grand Slam champions. They opened their
:23:26. > :23:47.campaign in Milan on Friday night. COMMENTATOR: Them all is set. The
:23:48. > :23:55.number nine is organising. Everything going, good defence from
:23:56. > :24:01.Wales. Over the line, no one knew what was happening. We see it back
:24:02. > :24:08.on the replay. Wales have chosen not to challenge. They allow the
:24:09. > :24:14.Italians to drive. Five metres short, Wales, can they did to them
:24:15. > :24:22.three or four minutes ago? Looking for that first try. Organising. Arms
:24:23. > :24:27.go up. The only armour doesn't drop is the one and you want, and that is
:24:28. > :24:42.the chap in green. Now they have gone up, and it is the prop forward.
:24:43. > :24:51.Good pace now, this is an opportunity. He is a finisher, he
:24:52. > :24:54.can get it. He is in midair. If he has got that down it would be an
:24:55. > :25:06.incredible try. It was a good turn of pace. That's a great try, what a
:25:07. > :25:10.try. A high ball from Jones. Nothing going on there, has gone backwards?
:25:11. > :25:15.Yes, says the referee. Williams could put this game to bed,
:25:16. > :25:19.underneath the sticks. Wales start their campaign with a great victory,
:25:20. > :25:22.and we will look forward to the rest of the games in this under 20s Six
:25:23. > :25:37.Nations cabbage. Ever closer... Lovely work here, to
:25:38. > :25:42.the try line, and of that ball has been touched down then it is a try.
:25:43. > :25:46.Not yet. Inches short. This time it is Karen Thomas, and that is the
:25:47. > :25:58.first try. The referee's Hamas in the year. -- the referee's arm is in
:25:59. > :26:10.the air. Italy looking for a try here, good tackle! But the try is
:26:11. > :26:14.there, surely? Takes it to grind. Wilkins, out to Howell, steps off
:26:15. > :26:20.the left foot, and over as she goes. It well taken try from the Wales
:26:21. > :26:27.full-back. 15 minutes until the final whistle. Rachael Taylor climbs
:26:28. > :26:37.high once again. The forwards are there. Look at that expression on
:26:38. > :26:44.her face. All the effort. Would be fruitful? The captain... Gets the
:26:45. > :26:53.try! That is a crucial score for Wales. Many congratulations for the
:26:54. > :26:57.wins don't come easy away from home. No, especially here, it's a tough
:26:58. > :27:00.place to come. It was fantastic for us.
:27:01. > :27:13.Yes, congratulations to the Welsh women. Their first win against Italy
:27:14. > :27:16.for four years. And congratulations to these guys, the under 20s.
:27:17. > :27:24.CHEERING Difficult conditions in Milan. Not
:27:25. > :27:28.the best at, but you soon got your rhythm. We know Italy is a place to
:27:29. > :27:35.go for the first game. Conditions did suit them. But in the end we got
:27:36. > :27:38.the victory. Indeed. And you are defending champions, I guess you
:27:39. > :27:42.want to hold onto that trophy, dodgy? Yes, of course that is our
:27:43. > :27:46.aim. But player development is one of our aims as well. And hopefully
:27:47. > :27:48.after the sternum and, whether we win or lose, we can say that we
:27:49. > :27:55.developed individually and as a team. And Morgan, you are going up
:27:56. > :28:00.to call and be next week. You always get some good support fair, but
:28:01. > :28:04.England will be tough. Yes, as a team we know that England will be a
:28:05. > :28:09.tough game. But we focused ourselves for this week, and with got things
:28:10. > :28:15.to work on from Friday. And quick word about Ryan, great try from
:28:16. > :28:20.them, and it is his birthday as well. Anybody greetings? We know he
:28:21. > :28:25.is a great finisher. We saw that in the try. Younger than us, and
:28:26. > :28:30.developing player. There is a strong team culture, that's where stars
:28:31. > :28:34.come from. He is 18 years old, things are looking good. And
:28:35. > :28:37.remember, BBC Wales is one place to be for all Wales matches. I will be
:28:38. > :28:42.looking after the woman on Saturday morning, and on Friday night, you
:28:43. > :28:45.will be up at Colwyn Bay. Always will be. Always give the cracking
:28:46. > :28:49.welcome there, will be starting the road trip early on Friday. Back
:28:50. > :28:54.Internet, and Scotland hosted Ireland at Murrayfield yesterday
:28:55. > :28:57.they would all kicked off. The Scots have only beaten the Irish three
:28:58. > :29:00.times in 17 attempts since the Five Nations became six, but they were
:29:01. > :29:12.quietly confident going into this one.
:29:13. > :29:21.Urged on by the Murrayfield faithful. Get it out wide. Stuart
:29:22. > :29:27.Hogg for the line. And Scotland open the try scoring at Murrayfield. A
:29:28. > :29:31.quarter of the match gone, still just that once call from Scotland.
:29:32. > :29:41.But here they come again and it is Stuart Hogg. It is another try for
:29:42. > :29:53.Stuart Hogg. Closing in on 20 phases now. Out
:29:54. > :29:56.wide it goes. Ireland hit back. Ireland's turn to defend the five
:29:57. > :30:03.metre Drive. It is difficult. A difficult place to defend. Both
:30:04. > :30:12.sides have been uncertain in the line-out. It is Dunbar. Murray again
:30:13. > :30:19.for the line. Cannot quite make it. The ball is held up. Still that
:30:20. > :30:29.penalty advantage. Over they go for the try. Iain Henderson dives and
:30:30. > :30:35.scores. The Scottish tackles flying up but a
:30:36. > :30:41.chance for Rob Kearney. Maitland again the saviour. Ireland thought
:30:42. > :30:50.they had scored but it was the tackle from Maitland. Did he get his
:30:51. > :30:55.man into touch? The player was in touch. It is a line-out, Scotland
:30:56. > :31:02.ball. Up to within ten metres. Jackson is
:31:03. > :31:09.through. Jackson stretches to score. It is a try for Ireland.
:31:10. > :31:12.The ball is still there for Scotland. A penalty to Scotland as
:31:13. > :31:25.well. And Ireland's chances are slipping away.
:31:26. > :31:30.It is good from Greig Laidlaw. It is great from Scotland. They have
:31:31. > :31:37.beaten Ireland in the opening match of this 6-nations. We switched off a
:31:38. > :31:40.bit at the start of the second half but the boys are absolutely
:31:41. > :31:52.delighted to kick off with a win. There is no better place to do it.
:31:53. > :31:58.Well, one member of our panel did predict a Scottish victory last week
:31:59. > :32:02.and that was an epic Test match. What better way to open the
:32:03. > :32:07.tournament. Yes, they were incredible. I think the expectation
:32:08. > :32:12.has been there for a bit now. And you will understand, being a coach,
:32:13. > :32:15.it is tough being a coach, you inherit a side and then you change
:32:16. > :32:19.it to what you want and then you normally just let it go. But then
:32:20. > :32:24.you are under pressure on keeping your job. And the guys have repaid
:32:25. > :32:29.some great effort by themselves and is a brilliant coaching by Vern
:32:30. > :32:33.Cotter and his team. I thought a few seasons ago, even last season, the
:32:34. > :32:39.Scottish side would have crumbled under the onslaught in the second
:32:40. > :32:45.half. Yet, they scrambled and kept them out, they came back and put
:32:46. > :32:50.pressure on Ireland, showed great fitness to be able to do that and
:32:51. > :32:54.put them under pressure and Greig Laidlaw has that great kicking
:32:55. > :33:03.success rate. It was a great victory. But it will mean nothing
:33:04. > :33:06.unless they beat France next week. Scotland very impressive but what
:33:07. > :33:10.about Ireland? They dominated the set piece but they could not get
:33:11. > :33:23.going in that first half. It was one of those great game for them. They
:33:24. > :33:27.score those early tries. Again, as Jerry said, they normally
:33:28. > :33:32.crumble at that point. But they held on. I think they miss... There was
:33:33. > :33:36.like 15 tackles they missed in the first half, even more in the second
:33:37. > :33:41.half. You cannot win Test matches when you are saying that many
:33:42. > :33:46.tackles. They have a lock to work on. There have been false dawns for
:33:47. > :33:51.Scotland over the years. We have talked them up but there seems to be
:33:52. > :33:56.some substance to this revival under Vern Cotter and Jonathan Humphreys.
:33:57. > :34:00.Yes, I would like to give him credit for that line-out drive but I cannot
:34:01. > :34:05.see him coming up with that. I am pleased for them because it has been
:34:06. > :34:07.coming. Glasgow have got over the line in terms of qualifying for the
:34:08. > :34:12.European quarterfinals and that really sets the tournament up for
:34:13. > :34:15.me. It was a great start to the tournament and I am pleased for
:34:16. > :34:20.them. I am disappointed maybe that they cannot get together and have
:34:21. > :34:24.Gregor Townsend is well and have a formidable team and really kick on.
:34:25. > :34:28.But it is a great start and they are in with a shout.
:34:29. > :34:34.I am worried about Wales... Let's not think about that now. At that
:34:35. > :34:38.magnificent match at Murrayfield, it is off to Twickenham to see how
:34:39. > :34:47.England under Eddie Jones would fare against France.
:34:48. > :35:01.COMMENTATOR: Lopez gets away from George Ford. A
:35:02. > :35:06.quick blast of the whistle. It is not exactly a tip tap all. To be
:35:07. > :35:18.honest, I could not see anything wrong with that. Well, he takes him
:35:19. > :35:23.beyond the horizontal. Will it drift in? It does. France,
:35:24. > :35:29.two penalties from Lopez and they lead 6-3.
:35:30. > :35:32.Nearly a turnover for France. George Ford dummies the kick and it works
:35:33. > :35:43.well. Beautifully done by Owen Farrell. Elliot Daly. It will go to
:35:44. > :35:52.review. He thinks he has scored. Not in touch yet. Yes, years now.
:35:53. > :35:57.Just. There is another high tackle
:35:58. > :36:05.penalty. There might be better for France. Was that a deliberate
:36:06. > :36:10.knock-on by Courtney Lawes? A couple of advantage is being
:36:11. > :36:23.played France 's way. A try is going to be scored by Slimani. The first
:36:24. > :36:35.try of the game. Nathan Hughes. Danny Care. Elliot
:36:36. > :36:39.Daly. Teo'o. And England have been rewarded for staying patient. I take
:36:40. > :36:45.full responsibility for the performance. I did not prepare the
:36:46. > :36:48.team well enough. I got something is wrong. I will make sure that the
:36:49. > :36:54.team plays much better against Wales.
:36:55. > :37:00.He took full responsibility therefore that performance. What did
:37:01. > :37:06.he get wrong? Some people saying team selection. He struggled with
:37:07. > :37:13.injuries but the strength within the English game is deep and the guys
:37:14. > :37:17.just were slow off the block. You try your best as coaches to prepare
:37:18. > :37:22.them as best you can and sometimes it does not happen. But we have to
:37:23. > :37:27.give credit to France. I said last week that they are a poor side. But
:37:28. > :37:31.they seemed to have some are shaping their attack. Credit to England.
:37:32. > :37:35.When it mattered, they were resilient and they got in a position
:37:36. > :37:42.to score, that impact on the bench was enormous. And Teo'o 's try was
:37:43. > :37:48.brilliant. A lovely lay-off from Owen Farrell. Great.
:37:49. > :37:59.Good job you have high Northern Irishman in your ranks. There he is.
:38:00. > :38:11.That is not photo shop. That was during the World Cup. Every side has
:38:12. > :38:16.got their imports, haven't they? In every side. Every single side. Let's
:38:17. > :38:23.embrace it. When it works, we have got to go with it. For all the talk
:38:24. > :38:29.of England's lethargy, we have to give credit to France. They looked
:38:30. > :38:34.unrecognisable from recent sides. It is not the full renaissance yet. You
:38:35. > :38:38.could not believe how bad they were sometimes. Absolutely shocking. They
:38:39. > :38:47.have all these great clubs, how can they be so bad that is why it was a
:38:48. > :38:53.J great first weekend. Scotland and France are clearly better than they
:38:54. > :38:58.were. For about an hour yesterday, England could have lost. I think the
:38:59. > :39:02.reason why they did not and where France still have to work is
:39:03. > :39:09.something as basic as fitness. That France team are huge. And at the
:39:10. > :39:13.end, England had more gas and obviously a better bench. But France
:39:14. > :39:20.have got to learn the lessons of fitness and that is why the guys
:39:21. > :39:25.playing in the Premiership are the fittest guys out there. It is
:39:26. > :39:29.embarrassing when you have eight substitutes and you are still
:39:30. > :39:33.dropping off at the end of the game. We are certainly not going to see
:39:34. > :39:36.that impact in this tournament. Gerry mentioned the injuries that
:39:37. > :39:41.England have but they did experiment quite a bit. A few players out of
:39:42. > :39:47.position. Did they experiment too much? It did not work to start with.
:39:48. > :39:57.Much to my amusement for the first half watching it. And for 20 minutes
:39:58. > :40:02.today I thought it would come back on me. But when it mattered, they
:40:03. > :40:07.came back. That last ten minutes, they were good and they showed...
:40:08. > :40:10.Their substitutes came on, a very strong bench and I would not be
:40:11. > :40:14.surprised to see some of them starting next week. They really did
:40:15. > :40:18.make that impact. That could be a big factor next week.
:40:19. > :40:24.We have a few minutes to discuss tactics for next week 's game. You
:40:25. > :40:31.have spent a bit of time in the edit suite analysing the English game.
:40:32. > :40:38.Eddie Jones won't be happy but credit to the French team, they were
:40:39. > :40:41.superbly prepared on the day. They asked questions of England by
:40:42. > :40:45.disjoint in their defence and switching the play. They came down
:40:46. > :40:50.the short side quite a lot and disrupted the England line. If you
:40:51. > :40:55.look at this example, Joe Launchbury is in a situation where they do not
:40:56. > :40:59.want him. It creates little overlaps, little bits of space in
:41:00. > :41:04.the outside channels that hopefully you can exploit. Can Wales do this
:41:05. > :41:08.next week? Will they be as prepared? Again, Owen Farrell is on the end of
:41:09. > :41:16.this line and Elliot Daly is out of position. France had their guys in
:41:17. > :41:26.the wide channels. They also exploited this setup. George Ford is
:41:27. > :41:30.at scrum-half. If the defence commit themselves, England potentially have
:41:31. > :41:37.their two week as defenders on the fringes of the maul. They knew this.
:41:38. > :41:43.And exploited it. They worked on it. These are easy yards. They knew what
:41:44. > :41:51.they were doing. This time, and inside ball and he gets to Danny
:41:52. > :41:55.Care. Again, easy yards. Very clever tactics. George Ford at scrum-half,
:41:56. > :42:02.he does not want to tackle. That is why they put him there. And as you
:42:03. > :42:07.see, Owen Farrell, a little bit spooked, he jumps out of the line
:42:08. > :42:11.and creates a little mismatch and a whole for France to exploit. They
:42:12. > :42:15.were excellent. What they wanted to do was switch play a lot and get to
:42:16. > :42:20.a disjointed England defensive line and create some overlaps. It nearly
:42:21. > :42:22.paid off for them. Our Wales astute enough to create the chances? We
:42:23. > :42:32.will have to wait and see. Plenty to talk to the panel about
:42:33. > :42:36.there but first let's hear some fighting talk from both camps. Can
:42:37. > :42:43.you believe the test record, 60% of the tests have been won by Wales,
:42:44. > :42:47.only 40% by England. Obviously, mentally, there are things that go
:42:48. > :42:51.on, I have been to the Principality stadium and it is just another
:42:52. > :42:55.ground. We will need to work out why the English don't play well at
:42:56. > :43:03.Wales. I don't know what it is. Maybe it is something... Crossing
:43:04. > :43:07.the river? Whatever it is. I used to be a geography teacher. I will look
:43:08. > :43:13.it up. What did you make of England's opening performance? It
:43:14. > :43:17.was a good win. They showed character in the team that they are
:43:18. > :43:22.from the run of games they have had an success. But ultimately, our
:43:23. > :43:25.focus will be to review this because there were parts of that game that
:43:26. > :43:32.we feel we can have a big improvement on and then we move
:43:33. > :43:36.towards England. The first two weeks are pretty important. The focus was
:43:37. > :43:41.on this game to get us off to a good start. It has been mentioned many
:43:42. > :43:45.times about our starting the campaign and as I said to the
:43:46. > :43:48.players before the game, it is important we start competitions
:43:49. > :43:56.well. We have not done so in four years. I am glad from a perspective
:43:57. > :44:02.that we can go into the next game with a little bit more self belief
:44:03. > :44:05.and confidence. Huge improvement is needed for next week when England
:44:06. > :44:11.come, especially in the speed of the ball to the back line, intensity in
:44:12. > :44:15.defence, and also the creativity. I think we have got to be more bold
:44:16. > :44:19.from the start, we have too scored tries early on and also we have to
:44:20. > :44:22.get away from too much kicking back and forth. England will certainly
:44:23. > :44:30.counter attack if we kick straight down the field to them and we also
:44:31. > :44:35.have to look to run from deep more. Will it be too early to start Sam
:44:36. > :44:43.Davies in a game like England? Or is he ready to do that? He showed in
:44:44. > :44:48.the autumn he is ready to start and we came a selection plan in terms of
:44:49. > :44:55.experience and the competition for places, what we talked about two
:44:56. > :44:59.weeks ago. And Sam has shown lovely touches and obviously, he has a
:45:00. > :45:03.unique left foot. That certainly aids his tools in terms of kicking
:45:04. > :45:08.strategy but we will have to wait and see how Dan Biggar comes out and
:45:09. > :45:11.at the end of the day, he has come on and on really well and it puts
:45:12. > :45:17.pressure on coaches in terms of selection. We win the Six Nations, I
:45:18. > :45:22.will stand up here and do handstands, I will be that happy.
:45:23. > :45:26.Records don't mean anything. You score 100 in a Test match and you
:45:27. > :45:30.can get out for a duck the next day. It is about keeping improved on. We
:45:31. > :45:33.want to be Six Nations champions. And that starts by beating Wales
:45:34. > :45:40.next week. That is the only thing that matters now. There were aspects
:45:41. > :45:47.of our game today where we had the ball and we were not relentless. The
:45:48. > :45:50.ability to sides -- put side under pressure and we will have to put
:45:51. > :45:54.England under more pressure than we did today.
:45:55. > :45:58.Some fighting talk. First of all, someone needs to give Eddie Jones a
:45:59. > :46:02.geography lesson. Next week, it is the big one. The
:46:03. > :46:06.one we all look forward to. Both sides now have a victory under their
:46:07. > :46:09.belt. Not the most convincing of wins. Who would you say are the
:46:10. > :46:16.favourites going into that game? We will be underdogs. Eddie will
:46:17. > :46:21.probably like a rocket under the English side after what he said in a
:46:22. > :46:25.press conference after, so he will put a lot of detail on but again we
:46:26. > :46:30.have world-class players that can stand up and can make a difference.
:46:31. > :46:33.And we like to go into the game as underdogs. I remember watching a few
:46:34. > :46:38.years ago when England were chasing the Grand Slam and they were looking
:46:39. > :46:48.for it and I was talking to the people next to me... Remind us what
:46:49. > :46:52.happened there? No, it was a fantastic second half by Wales in
:46:53. > :46:59.that game. England got it wrong and we came out and it was a fantastic
:47:00. > :47:05.performance in that second half. If things do go wrong, if England get
:47:06. > :47:10.aspects is wrong, we have the players that can put scores on the
:47:11. > :47:15.board and can make a big difference. It will be a really intense game.
:47:16. > :47:21.Bringing up that Cardiff record, as Eddie Jones said, is that another
:47:22. > :47:25.mind game? England have three victories in a row against Wales in
:47:26. > :47:29.the Six Nations. You have to be aware of his flannel. It happens
:47:30. > :47:35.daily. Sometimes he contradicts himself totally the day after. Wales
:47:36. > :47:39.should not give him too much respect. There are only two of the
:47:40. > :47:44.normal starting forwards saying yesterday. The rest are out and
:47:45. > :47:50.won't be in Cardiff. Dylan Hartley, I think, I don't rate him at all.
:47:51. > :47:56.Dan Cole is a busted flush and I think they can be attacked and also
:47:57. > :48:07.Mike Brown at fullback, in terms of counterattack is a dead duck. I am
:48:08. > :48:12.serious. He looks for the first tackler and runs at him. They are
:48:13. > :48:15.short of players and Eddie with his flannel is trying to divert the
:48:16. > :48:21.attention away from the fact. If they give them too much respect,
:48:22. > :48:29.they will lose by a lot. Why would you respect England? It is not...
:48:30. > :48:33.The Principality stadium is not any old stadium. It is a fantastic
:48:34. > :48:44.arena. And Eddie will be as frightened of it as anybody. Jerry,
:48:45. > :48:55.you have to respond to that. The audience is amazing. I think
:48:56. > :49:03.that the flannel has 15 victories in a row. It is a big flannel. Give
:49:04. > :49:07.credit to England where it is due, if you are not playing well and you
:49:08. > :49:10.are winning games, in some cases Canterbury, you have to be wary of
:49:11. > :49:16.them and they are understrength at the moment. What I would say about
:49:17. > :49:20.England is even with those four main starters out, they still have big
:49:21. > :49:24.carriers in their pack and that is... The only way you will beat
:49:25. > :49:27.England is to combat that. I do not feel at the moment Wales have those
:49:28. > :49:31.explosive ball-carriers to be able to produce the quick ball that will
:49:32. > :49:36.enable you to get into the wide spaces. That is where England are
:49:37. > :49:39.weak but they generally slow the ball down and they have big hitters
:49:40. > :49:42.in defence to stop those attackers and that is where they dominate and
:49:43. > :49:52.they build their game on that defence. It was poor yesterday. They
:49:53. > :49:57.allowed France into the game. If they are missing carriers, so our
:49:58. > :50:07.England. The Vunipola brothers are missing.
:50:08. > :50:14.Until Haskel came on, they lacked that go forward. Yes, they had been
:50:15. > :50:21.sensational and they are definitely missing them. I like Jamie George.
:50:22. > :50:24.Should you drop your captain? The flannel makes big cause. We do not
:50:25. > :50:32.have to worry about that. I think we have to concentrate on ourselves.
:50:33. > :50:38.James Haskell has to come in. I am more concerned about us. I agree we
:50:39. > :50:41.have got to match England but I am worried that through Rob Howley 's
:50:42. > :50:44.press conference, he is intimating that Sam Warburton will play at
:50:45. > :50:49.seven. Justin Tipuric is one of the best
:50:50. > :50:52.rugby players Wales have got and if we are to get to those wider
:50:53. > :50:58.channels, we need him in the team. That is my worry.
:50:59. > :51:07.But again, the flannel is due to come a cropper at some point, why
:51:08. > :51:10.can't it be next week? Our panel are very confident this
:51:11. > :51:15.evening. Jerry, let's talk about Wales and any possible changes. You
:51:16. > :51:19.are a fan of Sam Davies. Would you start with him? I am a fan of Dan
:51:20. > :51:28.Biggar as well. It is horses for courses.
:51:29. > :51:34.He does everything but run, you say. Yeah, tell me something different.
:51:35. > :51:38.Rob Howley has been incredibly safe. There is no doubt, if Wales topline
:51:39. > :51:41.players play as well as they can, they are going to cause England
:51:42. > :51:45.problems but they have to find that from somewhere because at the
:51:46. > :51:49.moment, we are not seeing it. Alun Wyn Jones puts in performance after
:51:50. > :51:53.performance. Justin Tipuric gets better and better. The combination I
:51:54. > :51:57.like today in the midfield of Williamson Davies, if that clicks,
:51:58. > :52:01.England are going to have to shore up that defence that was incredibly
:52:02. > :52:11.passive. You are avoiding the question. Who would you go for at
:52:12. > :52:19.ten? I would go with Dan Biggar. I think he is... The connection there
:52:20. > :52:23.with his experience will work. Sam is too inexperienced for that
:52:24. > :52:27.occasion. Bring him on to make a difference. If you bring Dan Biggar
:52:28. > :52:33.on, there is not much you can attack with, so start with him and bring
:52:34. > :52:38.the influence on. I would start with Dan Biggar. He is a real winner. He
:52:39. > :52:45.is the sort of guy that you will want to line up with. He has that
:52:46. > :52:52.experience. He has the shirt at the moment. Sam is going well. He is the
:52:53. > :52:55.incumbent. He will get there. Coming off the bench, it is a strategy as
:52:56. > :53:00.well. We saw that from England yesterday. They are both still
:53:01. > :53:10.involved. That would be my selection. You said at the very stop
:53:11. > :53:15.-- the very top, about the number seven. How would your back row be
:53:16. > :53:19.configured? I am a massive fan of Sam Warburton and it is hard to
:53:20. > :53:27.leave out Justin Tipuric. I would make a straight swap, Moriarty for
:53:28. > :53:35.Faletau. If Charteris is fit, I would bring him in as well. They
:53:36. > :53:40.have got to make things happen. I would bring in the biggest, most
:53:41. > :53:44.brutal pack and take them on where they don't like it. It has got to be
:53:45. > :53:50.an enormous transformation from the rugby I have seen Wales playing in
:53:51. > :53:56.the last 12 months. It would be a miracle win. Sorry, a miracle
:53:57. > :54:00.performance. Nothing has suggested that they have been carrying the
:54:01. > :54:03.ball and smashing lumps out of the sites they have been playing games
:54:04. > :54:08.but there is no doubt that what England have to be wary of, as I
:54:09. > :54:15.say, those Lions in that Welsh side, if it clicks, it will be a humdinger
:54:16. > :54:25.of a game. Head on the block... I want to get Ian on the front rows.
:54:26. > :54:35.Did Thomas Frist do enough to start? I think he did, yeah. They made a
:54:36. > :54:40.difference. That propelled Wales into the wind. There were some tough
:54:41. > :54:46.training sessions this week. If they did make that decision, then nobody
:54:47. > :54:54.could argue with that. Head on the block time, what are we going for? A
:54:55. > :55:04.Welsh win obviously? I can't say England, can I? I won't get out of
:55:05. > :55:11.here. I feel England are going to make it 16 out of 16. I cannot see
:55:12. > :55:15.the way that Wales are playing... It'll be a good, tends emotional
:55:16. > :55:18.game but the confidence that England have got and there is so much for
:55:19. > :55:25.them to improve on, I cannot see anything but an England win. I was
:55:26. > :55:32.enjoying beanie crowd pleaser but it is over now. I think England will
:55:33. > :55:39.win by a margin in double figures. I had better balance it up. No,
:55:40. > :55:42.because I think Wales have a lot of long-term development to go and I
:55:43. > :55:46.don't think we will go and win a Grand Slam. I will be honest. A
:55:47. > :55:58.one-off game in Cardiff, why can't we do it?
:55:59. > :56:03.A lot of other games coming up next weekend as well. Italy play at home
:56:04. > :56:11.for the second weekend running. A wounded Ireland are the six --
:56:12. > :56:16.visitors. Ireland will rebound big. I don't think they will lose again.
:56:17. > :56:24.And what about France Scotland? France. If Scotland can make it
:56:25. > :56:29.mobile, they will win. But if it is an arm wrestle, France will win that
:56:30. > :56:32.one. If France can last the course, they will win by double figures. A
:56:33. > :56:38.narrow French win for me. Interesting prediction. Only the one
:56:39. > :56:46.person was right last week and I think that was Peter Jackson.
:56:47. > :56:49.There we are. Thanks ever so much. Everybody here, can you give it up
:56:50. > :57:03.for your panel this evening, Ian Gough... Jeremy Guscott... Stephen
:57:04. > :57:09.Jones... And Sean Holley. Thanks to all of our amazing studio
:57:10. > :57:16.audience as well. And thank you for you watching at home as well. There
:57:17. > :57:20.is a Facebook live at 7:15pm. A couple of the boys are hanging about
:57:21. > :57:24.to answer your questions. Wales are top of the pile after Round 1. Our
:57:25. > :57:28.closest neighbours are coming over next week and it always is a
:57:29. > :57:42.humdinger. He can make a break for himself. He
:57:43. > :58:02.is going to score a remarkable try. Martin, Edwards. Phil Bennett. Along
:58:03. > :58:10.the line. JB R Williams. Is he going to do it again?
:58:11. > :58:20.Moriarty. And I tell you, this has got to be sorted out. What a star
:58:21. > :58:22.one international punches thrown. Totally unnecessary. And that really
:58:23. > :58:45.does disfigure a great match. The kick is charged down. A try for
:58:46. > :58:47.Wales. What a start. It is James Hook. The Millennium Stadium is a
:58:48. > :58:52.happy place.
