:01:10. > :01:12.Lee lead The dust has settled
:01:13. > :01:17.on Judgment Day V, and it's been Martyn Williams and Sean Holley have
:01:18. > :01:20.been laying off the Easter We'll be hearing from them in a bit,
:01:21. > :01:25.but let's kick things off with Act One of Judgment Day ,
:01:26. > :01:42.the Blues against the Ospreys. not contesting the line-out. Looking
:01:43. > :01:47.to drive them back. They well I Kristian Dacey. The hooker has snuck
:01:48. > :02:02.over in the corner. Calling for more defenders. The
:02:03. > :02:05.Ospreys are outnumbered. Cuthbert with two men outside him. The
:02:06. > :02:20.chances there. Great defending. Lloyd Williams. A
:02:21. > :02:28.separate take -- a superb take. A great finish from the scrum-half.
:02:29. > :02:40.Great ball from the scrum to Cuthbert. Nick Williams, try number
:02:41. > :02:42.three. With less than 27 minutes gone, you are asking yourself, is
:02:43. > :03:01.there any way back for the Ospreys? That could be a yellow card. Dan
:03:02. > :03:16.Evans hasn't got back to ground. I think it is a yellow.
:03:17. > :03:25.Cuthbert again around the back. Alex Cuthbert. So close.
:03:26. > :03:49.He has got there. The bonus point for the Blues. Filise reaches over.
:03:50. > :03:54.Sam Davies, the flat ball to Baker does not work.
:03:55. > :04:09.He wins it. It is all going the Blues' way. A fifth try for them and
:04:10. > :04:15.the celebrations are starting early. Watch the spinner from Kristian
:04:16. > :04:20.Dacey. Great skill. A great kick this time. Anscombe has the pace,
:04:21. > :04:37.and Sam Davies -- on Sunday this. Sam Davies. A penalty coming but the
:04:38. > :04:43.Ospreys desperate to cross the try-line.
:04:44. > :04:58.Dan Evans slips through, and at last the Ospreys have got a try. Going to
:04:59. > :05:02.be a yellow card here. There was a warning given during the build-up by
:05:03. > :05:18.the Ospreys. Continued infringement, offside.
:05:19. > :05:31.The referee allows it to go. If they can ship the ball, they are in. In
:05:32. > :05:33.anyway under the sticks. James. Penthouse for the Ospreys, another
:05:34. > :05:48.quick convergence narrows that gap. An outstanding performance by the
:05:49. > :05:53.Blues. No major influence on their season, but it makes it a very
:05:54. > :06:00.uncomfortable last couple of weeks for the Ospreys. Can't believe it
:06:01. > :06:04.after losing three on the bounce steal in the top four. Massive game
:06:05. > :06:11.against Ulster. We are good enough to beat them. You missed key players
:06:12. > :06:16.but I expect more than that from the Ospreys. You don't always get the
:06:17. > :06:19.breaks or win games, but I expect more.
:06:20. > :06:22.A fourth defeat in a row for Steve Tandy and his Ospreys,
:06:23. > :06:24.but an outstanding performance from the Cardiff Blues.
:06:25. > :06:27.That was the first time in 11 games they'd beaten the Ospreys ,
:06:28. > :06:30.a miserable run that stretched all the way back to NYE 2010.
:06:31. > :06:32.Martyn, we talked yesterday about the physicality,
:06:33. > :06:35.It was pretty much the complete performance?
:06:36. > :06:40.To what extent does that mark a turning point?
:06:41. > :06:46.They have been building towards this. They should have won against
:06:47. > :06:52.Ulster, should have won against Leinster. When they have ball in
:06:53. > :06:59.hand, a dangerous outfit. Because any team problems. They defended
:07:00. > :07:02.well yesterday, totally dominant. Sean's over there with a man
:07:03. > :07:05.who hasn't stopped smiling since the final whistle ,
:07:06. > :07:07.the Blues head coach, Danny Wilson. Guys, we saw what the backs could do
:07:08. > :07:10.with their plentiful supply of quick ball,
:07:11. > :07:30.but this victory was built Stopping them at source is key. The
:07:31. > :07:33.decision-making five metres out? He would have made a decision along
:07:34. > :07:37.with the line-out leaders in the week. We would stay down and try and
:07:38. > :07:45.protect ourselves against a good Ospreys maul. Make sure we get our
:07:46. > :07:50.timing right, our angles right. Come in with the right attitude to stop
:07:51. > :08:02.what I said is a dangerous Ospreys maul. Some consternation well done
:08:03. > :08:09.on the floor. Another aspect of the decision-making five metres out is
:08:10. > :08:17.in the air. It is a gamble more. A flexibility to go up in the air. If
:08:18. > :08:23.the Ospreys win it yet they are dangerous. We took the gamble to get
:08:24. > :08:32.the facts the floor. Gethin Jenkins important year, to? Davies McAuley
:08:33. > :08:38.that little bit of room. Put the pressure on. To protect ourselves
:08:39. > :08:45.against the maul. Key line-outs that space needed to win. Clever by your
:08:46. > :08:49.boys, you ran the risk of less than that in the line-out. The Ospreys
:08:50. > :08:55.could have driven the ball here and put a back row in the backline.
:08:56. > :08:59.Defence coaches and leaders, we decided a seven man line-out was a
:09:00. > :09:03.major threat from the Ospreys. We had to protect against that. We
:09:04. > :09:09.hadn't done that well recently. We put an extra background. Ellis
:09:10. > :09:17.Jenkins in the backline? We wanted with. Line speed to give ourselves
:09:18. > :09:22.the extra number. Should they run short which they do a lot. To slow
:09:23. > :09:23.down again. If they get on the front foot, the Ospreys are a dangerous
:09:24. > :09:30.outfit. The Blues were patient
:09:31. > :09:35.and inventive in defence , and they dominated the collisions
:09:36. > :09:37.to the extent Steve Tandy And that's a complete
:09:38. > :09:52.role-reversal of what we're used Really impressed by the line speed
:09:53. > :09:56.and the attitude. So much more in it for the Ospreys recently. We could
:09:57. > :10:04.have picked a knot of clips, but this passage of play encapsulates
:10:05. > :10:12.it. Giving it to Ashley. Five and six phases. Yesterday, there was
:10:13. > :10:22.nowhere to go. Sam Davies, the qualified of him. -- blue wall in
:10:23. > :10:29.front. 50 metres behind the gain line. Kristian Dacey behind the
:10:30. > :10:33.ball. Watch Nick Williams, a monster yesterday. Site into the breakdown
:10:34. > :10:41.area, wins the turnabout. Steals the ball. Look at the dominance when the
:10:42. > :10:45.Blues have got the ball. It is not rocket science. Give it to Nick
:10:46. > :10:56.Williams, the big man, over the gain line. Cuthbert running to
:10:57. > :11:01.perfection. An armchair ride. Filise for a 40-year-old unbelievable
:11:02. > :11:10.yesterday. Held up just over the line. Filise scored eventually. Man
:11:11. > :11:12.of the max, Jenkins because he was immense, but six or seven of the
:11:13. > :11:19.Blues. ACE 40? He is older than me! The Blues have threatened to put
:11:20. > :11:38.together a performance No longer a soft touch? Performing
:11:39. > :11:44.better with the ball man without it. We need to become more consistent.
:11:45. > :11:51.When we are on top of the game defensively, threat of the ball on
:11:52. > :11:55.the floor. We can go in the -- against anyone. We have had boys
:11:56. > :12:04.back from injury with real quality, leaders. We sensed in the studio the
:12:05. > :12:09.performance has been a long time coming. The Leinster game, the
:12:10. > :12:18.Ulster game. Yesterday, it seems to come together. We were a little
:12:19. > :12:24.embarrassed about the Ospreys performance away. A collapse and
:12:25. > :12:29.they bullied us that state. Physically, nine times out of ten,
:12:30. > :12:33.they are on top of their game. We managed to catch them yesterday.
:12:34. > :12:40.Physically, we were dominant and our boys were not met -- motivated. It
:12:41. > :12:48.will be a platform for us. For so long, they appeared assured
:12:49. > :12:50.of a home semifinal, now they're in real danger
:12:51. > :12:52.of missing out altogether. We saw how frustrated Tandy was ,
:12:53. > :12:56.No one personified that frustration for than AWJ ,
:12:57. > :13:10.what does this tell us They lack leadership. Those
:13:11. > :13:18.Waterboys having an impact, trying to. Williams meant business, that is
:13:19. > :13:23.for sure! That is where they are at at the moment. One of the most
:13:24. > :13:30.experienced players was on the bench. They are lacking leadership.
:13:31. > :13:33.Freefall yesterday. They seem to be in freefall. They have been so
:13:34. > :13:40.dominant for the first-half of the season, now that is four defeats on
:13:41. > :13:50.the bounce. They don't know what to do about it. Up until the last
:13:51. > :13:53.month, a good, consistent season? I thought they would win the double.
:13:54. > :14:01.The Challenge Cup, the strongest teams. Whether it is injuries, Steve
:14:02. > :14:10.Candy mentioned fatigue from the younger players. If you want to look
:14:11. > :14:14.at how good Alun Wyn Jones is as a player, look at how they have done
:14:15. > :14:17.without him. The clamour is to be selected, but they wouldn't have
:14:18. > :14:27.been collapsed if Dan Biggar was there yesterday. You talk about Alun
:14:28. > :14:34.Wyn Jones, Gethin Jenkins has returned from a long-term injury.
:14:35. > :14:40.His leadership is second to none. He has got huge hunger and enthusiasm
:14:41. > :14:45.to be out there playing. We saw yesterday probably the last two
:14:46. > :14:52.weeks the calibre of the man. To perform against top opposition the
:14:53. > :15:02.way he has. And Gareth Anscombe, rumours he might sign a new
:15:03. > :15:07.contract? I felt we are close to getting something sorted. I know
:15:08. > :15:10.Gareth is pretty happy where he is. From conversations, we are happy
:15:11. > :15:16.with his contributions and leadership. Hopefully, we can keep
:15:17. > :15:21.them at the Blues longer. Thank you for joining us.
:15:22. > :15:27.Act two was Dragons against the Scarlets.
:15:28. > :15:29.Victory for the Scarlets would see them leapfrog
:15:30. > :15:58.Ten metre line of this callous. Here is a O'Brien into the 22. Back goes
:15:59. > :16:04.Williams to save the day for the Scarlets. A knee something from
:16:05. > :16:08.Hill? A speed bump no arms tackle. First
:16:09. > :16:44.points for the Scarlet Fu. Flypaper hands from Rob Evans.
:16:45. > :16:53.Jonathan Davies up to the ten metres line. Evans, period covering tackle
:16:54. > :17:01.from Adam Hughes. The line was at his mercy. Has Adam Hughes been done
:17:02. > :17:07.for not releasing the play? It is a yellow.
:17:08. > :17:17.Can the Scarlet two make the extra man advantage tell? Stepping inside,
:17:18. > :17:26.Williams, great defending again. The danger is not over. Driving up to
:17:27. > :17:37.the line. Another penalty given, this time for offside. The Scarlets
:17:38. > :17:43.run the penalty. Rather Evans again, Jonathan Davies, and it had to come
:17:44. > :17:48.for the Starlets. The pressure was too much for the Dragons in the end.
:17:49. > :17:56.With Dan Jones of the field, the kicking duties are with Liam
:17:57. > :18:03.Williams. In off the post. They will never believe that at home. Is there
:18:04. > :18:20.nothing this man can't do? Jonathan Evans as the Scarlets look
:18:21. > :18:28.to put the game to bed. Options, he uses his backs. Liam Williams,
:18:29. > :18:30.McLeod, but he doesn't need to McLeod, get in between the defenders
:18:31. > :18:47.and it is the Liam Williams show. The last play, Charlie Davies. Angus
:18:48. > :18:57.O'Brien. Adam Hughes, inside to Tyler Morgan. Here is Adam Hughes to
:18:58. > :19:07.finish off as good a try as you can wish to see. A bonus point. The
:19:08. > :19:12.result was not ours. We wanted respect from people. It is not for
:19:13. > :19:18.me to say, but I am sure we have done. The fact is we have two games
:19:19. > :19:23.left. We have a very good chance in those. We need to take that
:19:24. > :19:29.performance into those. And finish strong. A lot going on off the
:19:30. > :19:34.field, has it been a distraction? No, we get on with our jobs. My job
:19:35. > :19:48.is to say that as well. We get on, we crack on and focus on the rugby.
:19:49. > :19:53.Alluding to maybe ninth. -- make the night. -- May nine.
:19:54. > :19:56.So congratulations to the Scarlets - their head coach, Wayne Pivac
:19:57. > :20:00.Congrats Wayne, it was an uglier win than we become accustomed to.
:20:01. > :20:03.But there's no such thing as a bad win at this stage is there?
:20:04. > :20:15.We are used to seeing fluency but this was a R Russell. -- arm
:20:16. > :20:21.wrestle. They just don't help themselves. The Dragons. They get
:20:22. > :20:25.themselves into great positions. This is six minutes in. Keep the
:20:26. > :20:33.ball, make the Scarlets defence work. Good position 35 metres out.
:20:34. > :20:38.Understand going for a drop goal if it is the 75th minute and going for
:20:39. > :20:48.the win. But that is just giving the ball back. Great build-up pay, great
:20:49. > :20:57.carry-back Leigh Griffiths. -- Ollie. Giving the ball back,
:20:58. > :21:03.relieving pressure of the Scarlets. A poor kick into touch. For all the
:21:04. > :21:06.effort, they leave everything on the part, but they need to improve their
:21:07. > :21:17.decision-making. Narrow defeats like yesterday. We have been seeing lots
:21:18. > :21:22.of tries in recent weeks. They still showed glimpses of class? Too smart
:21:23. > :21:28.for the Dragons. Good aspects of their game still. In place till for
:21:29. > :21:37.the players. Turned the ball over easily, the Dragons. They have John
:21:38. > :21:43.Barclay in there. Some of the carries were not physical power for
:21:44. > :21:50.an hour. Rob Evans and tag playing very well. The Dragons turn over the
:21:51. > :21:57.ball too much. Scrum and line-out drive a big factor for the Filise in
:21:58. > :22:05.the latter part of the season. Then in yards, any penalties. I thought
:22:06. > :22:14.they were smart in the end to win the game. Jonathan Evans at
:22:15. > :22:22.scrum-half, is eager standing. They get the key ball. Evans looks
:22:23. > :22:27.lively. Not a lot of space, that sucks in a lot of Dragons players.
:22:28. > :22:33.Shortens their defensive line. And Hadleigh Parkes at ten, you only
:22:34. > :22:40.need Williams to have a state and they will score. -- a smell of the
:22:41. > :22:53.line. We were hoping to speak to the coach
:22:54. > :23:08.but he cannot. He has never played fly-half. But he can do it all. It
:23:09. > :23:16.was a matter stroke from Tim Bohn because Hadleigh Parkes can fit
:23:17. > :23:23.anywhere. -- Pivac. It worked in the end. There is so much class in the
:23:24. > :23:28.back with Williams, Jonathan Davies, they had too much class for the
:23:29. > :23:36.Dragons. Who would have known that Liam Williams was such a brilliant
:23:37. > :23:41.goalkicker? Fantastic, it shows his all round ability and versatility.
:23:42. > :23:45.You could take him on the Lions tour. We will get to that in a
:23:46. > :23:56.moment. May ninth is D-Day
:23:57. > :23:58.for pro rugby in Gwent. That's when Newport's
:23:59. > :24:00.shareholders will vote And the rhetoric coming from the WRU
:24:01. > :24:06.and the Dragons is that a no vote would signal the end of pro
:24:07. > :24:08.rugby in Gwent. And we've heard some interesting
:24:09. > :24:10.thought form Martyn Ryan this week, suggesting that Wales can only
:24:11. > :24:13.really afford two fully pro side , Not an altogether original idea
:24:14. > :24:25.but one which is bound to put We need four professional team. When
:24:26. > :24:31.you are up against the powerhouses of England and France. We need to
:24:32. > :24:36.spend the money more wisely. We have not done that with recruitment over
:24:37. > :24:47.the last four or five years. We need to do our damnedest to keep four. We
:24:48. > :24:53.are a greater rugby nation than Scotland, so we should have four.
:24:54. > :24:59.Helping to forge a region and a brand. It would be awful. The
:25:00. > :25:04.Ospreys shows it can be done. We have do fight to save them.
:25:05. > :25:07.There were a couple of other games this weekend that had a significant
:25:08. > :25:09.impact on the make-up of the top four.
:25:10. > :25:22.Munster dug deep. They guaranteed a place in the play-offs with a gritty
:25:23. > :25:30.derby win over Ulster. Despite the early lead, Munster fought back to
:25:31. > :25:38.bring things level. The scrum-half Angus Lloyd scrambled over. A Paddy
:25:39. > :25:43.Jackson penalty early in the second-half restored the lead,
:25:44. > :25:54.before Munster pass backs combine for a sparkling type.
:25:55. > :26:05.But I was to hit back. Marshall splitting the defence. But Ulster
:26:06. > :26:14.could have snatched victory. Jackson's late drop goal attempt
:26:15. > :26:19.wide. Just the one bonus point and boosting the Welsh region's hopes.
:26:20. > :26:26.An understrength side got the job done in Galway. A Connacht pass
:26:27. > :26:33.going to ground and replacement winger Barry Daly collecting the
:26:34. > :26:36.bouncing ball. The win with the bonus point consolidating their
:26:37. > :26:40.points at the top of the table and guaranteeing a home semifinal.
:26:41. > :26:43.So here is the table with just two weeks of the regular season to go.
:26:44. > :26:46.Leinster have returned to the top after being displaced
:26:47. > :26:48.Leinster have guaranteed themselves a home semifinal.
:26:49. > :26:50.Munster need just a point from their remaining two
:26:51. > :26:54.All of which means that the Scarlets, Ospreys and Ulster
:26:55. > :26:57.are still battling it out for the final two play-off spots.
:26:58. > :27:00.Ospreys and Ulster face off in a fortnight at the Liberty Stadium.
:27:01. > :27:07.And the two West Walian rivals meet at Parc y Scarlets on the final
:27:08. > :27:09.weekend of the regular season for a potentially seismic derby that
:27:10. > :27:17.You could secure your play-off spot next weekend with victory in Galway,
:27:18. > :27:22.but does a small part of you want that Ospreys game
:27:23. > :27:36.They are capable. They can score tries. Will it go down to the last
:27:37. > :27:46.game? Know, the one for me is Ospreys Ulster. To take it down to
:27:47. > :27:54.the wire. For the neutral, you want it to good under the wire. Scarlet
:27:55. > :27:58.is Ospreys at Parc y Scarlets? Not a home semi even if they get in the
:27:59. > :28:08.top four, it is hard to win away in the semifinals. Let's hope it is two
:28:09. > :28:14.Irish wins in Europe. At least that diverts attention for the Pro12
:28:15. > :28:17.semifinals. It will be difficult to win and await semifinal whatever
:28:18. > :28:23.happens. Leinster and Munster in the semifinals of the Champions Cup,
:28:24. > :28:30.will that distract them having their eyes on two trophies? But Irish
:28:31. > :28:41.sides using their squad really well. Winning with a bonus point. The
:28:42. > :28:46.Ospreys would like to go to Dublin. Noisy games away from home, though.
:28:47. > :28:50.If you were this Scarlet or the Ospreys, they can't get a semi now,
:28:51. > :29:00.but third and fourth determining Leinster and Munster. But where
:29:01. > :29:08.would you rather go? Aider. -- either, a flip of a coin. So strong,
:29:09. > :29:15.depth of the squad. Get in the top four, anything can happen, that is
:29:16. > :29:22.the main thing. Scarlets are in for me. We are two weeks away from the
:29:23. > :29:26.end of the regular season and are still talking about the permutations
:29:27. > :29:32.and the excitement? And elastic, Glasgow was still in it. The
:29:33. > :29:56.excitement is there. -- until last week.
:29:57. > :30:01.This is Warren Gatland,. He will be picking the squad. And Sam Warburton
:30:02. > :30:11.led his team to victory in Australia. He could well become the
:30:12. > :30:16.first Welshman to captain two consecutive tours which is quite a
:30:17. > :30:22.accolade. Before I interrogate you both on who would be your Welsh
:30:23. > :30:26.lines, Martin, what are these times like when you are a contender and
:30:27. > :30:29.you are not certain, just praying and hoping? They are a horrible
:30:30. > :30:32.couple of nights for the players will stop they will try to play it
:30:33. > :30:41.down, particularly the Welsh boys, who don't have any games this
:30:42. > :30:45.weekend, they have two big semifinals. It doesn't matter how
:30:46. > :30:52.nailed and people are telling you you are, there is always the doubt
:30:53. > :30:58.in your mind. They will be, honestly, very few sleepless nights
:30:59. > :31:02.for a lot of players. As you think some kind of messenger comes with a
:31:03. > :31:06.scroll telling you you're in, but it's not like that. You find out the
:31:07. > :31:12.same as everyone else. In 2001, someone came running up the physio
:31:13. > :31:19.room for me. It's as Ike something for from the 40s. We were all
:31:20. > :31:25.huddled round a radio! And I watched the last one in 2009 on TV like
:31:26. > :31:28.everybody else. The only guy who knows is a captain, the rest are
:31:29. > :31:36.totally oblivious. It is a horrible weight. We had to keep the secret
:31:37. > :31:41.today's Ireland. I remember I had to read out the list mid session to the
:31:42. > :31:49.whole squad. It was tough. It's hard on the guys who miss out, at that
:31:50. > :32:03.stage. Let's get some names off you now.
:32:04. > :32:16.So this is what you gone for. I don't think he's that bothered what
:32:17. > :32:20.I think. But I think Jonathan Joseph has submitted his place and I think
:32:21. > :32:25.Robbie Henshaw has done enough. I hope Foxy can still get in. But I
:32:26. > :32:33.think those two guys will be ahead of him. And some names on your list,
:32:34. > :32:38.the likes of Justin, but he is in one of the most competitive areas in
:32:39. > :32:42.the squad. It's always the most competitive because it is where the
:32:43. > :32:47.best players play. There are so many options they could go for. On
:32:48. > :32:53.Wednesday there will be so many big names missing, so many great players
:32:54. > :32:58.left out, but for those boys who are not picked they have to keep their
:32:59. > :33:03.powder dry because past tours have shown, nine players not originally
:33:04. > :33:10.selected ended up going on tour. There will be some 5050 Cole's and
:33:11. > :33:15.some really unlucky cols. But if Justin isn't on that plane, it will
:33:16. > :33:21.be a total injustice, you has been superb and is a different sort of
:33:22. > :33:26.player to everyone else. It was being billed as a fine lines
:33:27. > :33:30.audition. The fly-half position is very competitive. He would have been
:33:31. > :33:35.desperate for one last chance to think he's done enough? I hope so.
:33:36. > :33:41.He couldn't have played any better these last two years. But Jonathan
:33:42. > :33:50.Sexton is probably a shoo-in. Owen Farrell playing, probably goes
:33:51. > :33:56.against him. Jimmy Robertson, an outside bet. Geffen Roberts, who
:33:57. > :34:06.knows? Some reports suggesting serious Boulter 's like Kyle
:34:07. > :34:13.Sinckler, Ben Teo, and even Richard Hibbard. Hibbard has been on
:34:14. > :34:18.outstanding form. He won't take a backward step. A lot of the Welsh
:34:19. > :34:22.management are going on this tour and I know they were concerned last
:34:23. > :34:26.summer when they went to New Zealand about the pace of the front five.
:34:27. > :34:31.They need to be quick to compete with the Kiwis. And people like
:34:32. > :34:39.Sinckler, Henderson, they bring that X factor off the bench. There are so
:34:40. > :34:44.many a Leicester 's. So many quality players, I think whatever happens
:34:45. > :34:51.this will be the strongest group of players minds have selected that
:34:52. > :34:58.I've seen. The selection group you have, Steve, who I've worked with,
:34:59. > :35:01.Graham Rowntree, Andy Farrell, very strong characters. It will be an
:35:02. > :35:07.interesting Tuesday afternoon. I wouldn't want to be a natural! Well,
:35:08. > :35:12.I would. You talked about the nagging doubts. One man who probably
:35:13. > :35:20.has never any doubts is Mike Phillips. We haven't mentioned him
:35:21. > :35:25.on this tour either. But five tests for the Lions coming in is all about
:35:26. > :35:29.the intensity of the Lions arena, he said he would hang up his boots at
:35:30. > :35:35.the end of the season and history will judge him as one of the finest
:35:36. > :35:40.nines we've had. Absolutely. A warrior of a player. I loved playing
:35:41. > :35:52.with him, and he made more carries than I did as. Absolute competitor.
:35:53. > :35:59.When you look at the less, Gareth, Rob, Dwayne, he's one of the
:36:00. > :36:05.greatest. Through all of it, he was as important as anyone else. In 2009
:36:06. > :36:12.Lions tour he was outstanding. A real sad day that he has had to
:36:13. > :36:15.finally hang up his boots. He has plenty of highlights. Equal number
:36:16. > :36:24.off the pitch as well as on! But what is your famous -- favourite on
:36:25. > :36:30.page moment? 2008. This epitomises him. He has made a clearing kick and
:36:31. > :36:34.he is first to charge it down as well. It is a phenomenal try. He
:36:35. > :36:38.doesn't get credit for this. The winning try, first trying to a
:36:39. > :36:45.denizen, first winning game to beat England in 2008. Single-handedly,
:36:46. > :36:48.some great hands to put him in the corner. Give him more work than he
:36:49. > :36:53.should have done. But during that Grand Slam in particular he was a
:36:54. > :36:58.catalyst for the next seven or eight years he was probably the need first
:36:59. > :37:03.name on the sheet for Gatland. He was an extra gap back row in
:37:04. > :37:08.defence. That is my highlights, the winning try against England at
:37:09. > :37:14.Twickenham is. And probably is the first name on the team sheet at
:37:15. > :37:18.Ospreys. Just before Mike joined Ospreys we played a semifinal at the
:37:19. > :37:26.Millennium Stadium. They were scuffling in the corridor, look.
:37:27. > :37:30.They had to be separated. It shows what he is about. The true
:37:31. > :37:32.competitor. Might not be everybody's cup of tea as a scrum-half, but as a
:37:33. > :37:34.rugby player, one of the best. So yesterday was Judgment Day -
:37:35. > :37:39.today at the Principality The Cup final is going
:37:40. > :37:43.on as we speak, but the day began with the Bowl Final
:37:44. > :37:45.between Caerphilly and Amman United. And the Amman were bolstered by the
:37:46. > :38:03.inclusion of their most famous son. An incredible day, how was it then?
:38:04. > :38:06.Incredible. What a word. In fairness, I was more nervous for
:38:07. > :38:10.this game then I have been for a lot of the big games with rails.
:38:11. > :38:14.Whenever I play a rugby match, you put as much feeling and heart into
:38:15. > :38:17.it as you would any other game and it was the same today. The boys were
:38:18. > :38:22.having a singsong before the match and I'm ever done that before, so a
:38:23. > :38:26.bit unusual. But they've been so nervous for this, they've been like
:38:27. > :38:30.kids. The season they've had, they thoroughly deserved this whether I
:38:31. > :38:37.was in the team or not. They've been taking the make out of me all season
:38:38. > :38:41.for not scoring. I tried to get involved early, got a touch early
:38:42. > :38:48.and scored. I got steam-rollered don't know how many times. Have to
:38:49. > :38:53.work on my tackling. I've given my all out there at times. It means a
:38:54. > :39:00.lot to me, they are Rahman Valley boys born and bred. I know them all
:39:01. > :39:04.as mates. The lads were superb. They deserved the victory in the end. It
:39:05. > :39:07.is like Christmas all over again for these guys. They may not get this
:39:08. > :39:14.opportunity again and they will make the most of it. Will you do it all
:39:15. > :39:19.again next year? If I feel like this every time, definitely. The legs
:39:20. > :39:23.aren't what they used to be. I could see a gap this time, but I can't
:39:24. > :39:24.quite make it sometimes. But I'll never say never. I've enjoyed it so
:39:25. > :39:27.much. Congratulations to Amman United
:39:28. > :39:29.for their bowl victory. The lead changed hands several
:39:30. > :39:42.times. And congrats too, to Penallta
:39:43. > :39:56.who beat Ystalyfera In the dying moments Penallta scored
:39:57. > :40:01.dramatic try. They had the conversion to win it. It was missed
:40:02. > :40:08.but it did not matter. The final score was 16-16. But they won
:40:09. > :40:11.because Abe a superior try count. 2-1. Congratulations to Penallta.
:40:12. > :40:18.And the Cup final is underway as we speak -
:40:19. > :40:29.First timers RGC are ahead 10-8 of Pontypridd. Misery on the face of
:40:30. > :40:33.Martyn Williams. Good for the game if North
:40:34. > :40:49.Walian side win the cup? They've done really were owl. They
:40:50. > :40:53.raised an eyebrow with things with RGC were starting but we can see the
:40:54. > :40:58.benefits. It can only be good for the game in Wales will stop it is
:40:59. > :41:04.great to see. You're desperate for us to go off air so you can watch
:41:05. > :41:13.Pontypridd! I'm neutral. If they're going to lose to anybody it should
:41:14. > :41:17.be RGC. We've won it enough anyway. And Shane Williams, I was going to
:41:18. > :41:21.introduce that item by saying he promised it was his final last ever
:41:22. > :41:27.game and then he says never say never! He is in supreme condition.
:41:28. > :41:31.He is doing iron man and triathlons and he's in great nick. But you can
:41:32. > :41:35.see the smile on his face. Have you ever seen a bigger one on his face?
:41:36. > :41:41.He's enjoying it. It. It's a great story. I'm glad that they have won
:41:42. > :41:47.it, for his brother and his family. It's a great occasion for all
:41:48. > :41:52.concerned. Pontypridd did not come looking for you this weekend? No. I
:41:53. > :41:58.could probably play till 50 FI was on the wing. But he probably
:41:59. > :42:03.couldn't have -- could have played in Judgment Day yesterday. Well done
:42:04. > :42:04.to him. His team-mates will certainly be celebrating tonight.
:42:05. > :42:07.That's all what we have time for tonight, and we'll finish
:42:08. > :42:12.with a tribute to the man known affectionately as the face
:42:13. > :42:28.David Parry Jones, who died last week, at the age of 83.
:42:29. > :42:36.Good afternoon. Welsh rugby has known some really great years... You
:42:37. > :42:42.are watching in black and white, remember Wales are wearing the white
:42:43. > :42:51.stocking tops. He was as proud as a commentator as I was to have played.
:42:52. > :42:59.He's got a try! David was a gentleman, great voice, very
:43:00. > :43:03.knowledgeable. It occurs to me will probably see what the state was. You
:43:04. > :43:08.says Iraq the Welsh language will stop I'm highly dilated with that.
:43:09. > :43:19.He promoted the game in a way that made everybody happy to be part of
:43:20. > :43:26.it. Great stuff! His contribution is incredible. His contribution to the
:43:27. > :43:35.BBC was outstanding. History has been made. He loved Wales. He spoke
:43:36. > :43:39.fairly about rails. When he did a game, he was 50-50 down the middle.
:43:40. > :44:00.Beneath it, he was a very proud Welshman.
:44:01. > :44:03.We've got an armed man on the run with a child.
:44:04. > :44:10.DCI Mathias, what happened? How did we lose them?
:44:11. > :44:14.I made a judgment call, sir. I got it wrong.
