:00:25. > :00:29.Some of the big names were out of action but that was all that was
:00:30. > :00:36.missing from a Friday night Derby that otherwise had it all. This is
:00:37. > :00:39.crazy. Absolutely crazy. Eight tries in four games for the teenage
:00:40. > :00:46.sensation. He is in unstoppable form. Sam Davies started young as
:00:47. > :00:50.well. He has his sights set on the most famous Welsh jersey of them
:00:51. > :00:55.all. You can't come in and think you are third choice. You have to try to
:00:56. > :00:59.get in, and express yourself as much as possible. And we catch up with
:01:00. > :01:05.Wales women as they take on the Scots at their new home.
:01:06. > :01:08.Good evening and welcome to the last Scrum V Sunday
:01:09. > :01:10.before the autumn internationals kick off.
:01:11. > :01:13.Jonathan and Martyn have already selected their starting XV,
:01:14. > :01:18.But before we get stuck into that
:01:19. > :01:22.And if you missed this one on Friday,
:01:23. > :01:35.don't you dare leave your sofa now. It was awesome.
:01:36. > :01:48.Hadleigh Parkes's captained the side for the first time.
:01:49. > :01:55.The loosehead prop was released to the Blues alongside Boyd Williams on
:01:56. > :02:04.the bench. Five former Scarlets were in the Cardiff Blues. COMMENTATOR:
:02:05. > :02:19.Clear by partly. -- Berkeley. Shingler, oh! Great finish by Aaron
:02:20. > :02:42.Shingler! Great kick on the go by van der
:02:43. > :02:44.Merwe. And it is try number two for the Scarlets. It is as easy as that,
:02:45. > :02:55.it is Jonathan Evans. More direct from the Blues, first
:02:56. > :03:02.time with the ball in hand. Can they break out of their own defence?
:03:03. > :03:06.Patchell with a chance. There are many wide... oh, interception! What
:03:07. > :03:19.a gift for Tom James. In an attacking position, Lee-Lo
:03:20. > :03:28.gets the flat pass. Slips the tackle. Oh! Another interception,
:03:29. > :03:32.and a long run home for the Scarlets, van der Merwe on the
:03:33. > :03:37.outside. He should get there. He just jogs in the last 20 metres will
:03:38. > :03:42.stop and in a game of interceptions, a telling one.
:03:43. > :03:53.The pressure on the Blues scrum. Short ball to Shingler.
:03:54. > :04:03.Will Boyde bumped off it. Short. Great defence from scholars, I
:04:04. > :04:15.thought he was overdone. It really was good defending. The crowd were
:04:16. > :04:18.celebrating. Can Dolan forced back. -- great defence from Scarlets.
:04:19. > :04:27.Gets the pathway to Hadleigh Parkes and it has taken the Scarlets and 36
:04:28. > :04:33.seconds of the second half to get a bonus point.
:04:34. > :04:50.The ball has come out. Bouncing into the hands of Scully. Great finish.
:04:51. > :05:00.Bulbring is in the way. He was tackled by his brother. Is it the
:05:01. > :05:06.other way around? At the end of the first half. He has got to go TMO.
:05:07. > :05:17.This is crazy. Absolutely crazy. All credit to the Scarlets, they
:05:18. > :05:20.deserved their win and were the better side tonight. I have to
:05:21. > :05:27.comment on some huge decisions tonight. I don't understand the
:05:28. > :05:31.scrum at the end of the game. We received a yellow card and no
:05:32. > :05:34.penalty try. Some big moments in the game, but ultimately, I will not
:05:35. > :05:41.hide away, Scarlets deserved the win. We need to lick our wounds and
:05:42. > :05:46.build for a must win game now at Treviso. The Blues were unhappy at
:05:47. > :05:50.half-time, and a yellow card for Shingler, which was the wrong
:05:51. > :05:54.decision, I guess? I don't want to talk too much about the referee. But
:05:55. > :05:59.when both coaches aren't happy, we should look at it. I was happy to
:06:00. > :06:05.get the result and get five points. To stop them getting a bonus points,
:06:06. > :06:10.that is where we want to be. Sweet revenge for the Scarlets that lost
:06:11. > :06:14.twice to the Blues last season, home and away. Before we get on to the
:06:15. > :06:18.nitty-gritty, both coaches alluded to it, a big talking point on the
:06:19. > :06:22.night. We don't make a habit of criticising referees, but a number
:06:23. > :06:26.of grievances on both sides. Should the Blues have had a penalty try?
:06:27. > :06:29.Why was it waited so heavily against the Scarlets. Most personally, why
:06:30. > :06:36.was Aaron Shingler said to the sin-bin? The first thing is, before
:06:37. > :06:41.the International 's, it is a joke, they have to look at that. You need
:06:42. > :06:44.an experienced referee. It was a great atmosphere and a brilliant
:06:45. > :06:48.game, but unfortunately, everyone was talking about the referee as
:06:49. > :06:54.well. A feud dodgy decisions, that consistency is what the players
:06:55. > :07:03.want. -- few. Matthew Morgan went for the cross kick. He was the last
:07:04. > :07:08.man defending. Just watch, he goes up with it. If you go for an
:07:09. > :07:18.intercept with one arm, you are in the bin. This one, this is just...
:07:19. > :07:24.the best thing about this is, watch Stephen Shingler, showing the card
:07:25. > :07:31.to his brother. Get him off! You can mention the penalty before the
:07:32. > :07:38.scrum. If you show a yellow card for that, you have two chair a yellow
:07:39. > :07:43.card for a professional foul. The assistant referee and the TMO, that
:07:44. > :07:49.is when the team should be very issue recent -- efficient and look
:07:50. > :07:53.at it. You have got to get the right decision. For me, look at it. That
:07:54. > :07:58.could have changed the whole complexion of the game with ten
:07:59. > :08:05.minutes to go. The TMO has that the authority. Why the TMO hasn't come
:08:06. > :08:09.in to help the referee, is beyond me. Why can't they do that? The
:08:10. > :08:14.protocol is there. It was a farce in the end. I felt sorry for the
:08:15. > :08:18.referee in the end, because he lost control in the second half. Like the
:08:19. > :08:22.guys have said, the coaches, it did not affect the result. The Scarlets
:08:23. > :08:26.deserved the win. As we said on the night, it was a fantastic game. The
:08:27. > :08:35.carnage added to the atmosphere in a certain way. Scarlets deserved
:08:36. > :08:40.winners. The defence was solid. The defensive line speed was good. But
:08:41. > :08:48.looking at the Blues, they have been so efficient but they gifted tries.
:08:49. > :08:55.The first thing is, Hadleigh Parkes had been taken in. He just had to
:08:56. > :09:02.look up and put a grubber in. The line speed is good. It was a
:09:03. > :09:13.telegraphed pass. That is one try gifted to them, OK. But what again,
:09:14. > :09:19.the gap is too big. Look at the size of the gap. Matthew Morgan then
:09:20. > :09:25.should make the tackle but falls over. It is a great one-handed
:09:26. > :09:31.off-load. Paul defence. They are too wide apart. They go in, easy drive,
:09:32. > :09:37.not expecting the pick and drive, look at the gap between the
:09:38. > :09:45.forwards. The scrum-half should be behind, but unfortunately he is not.
:09:46. > :09:51.It is so big, the gap. If you look at it as a coach, it is just
:09:52. > :09:55.ridiculous. To gift three tries, but I thought Nick Williams is injured
:09:56. > :09:56.and might be out for a while. They have no penetrative runners, they
:09:57. > :10:03.couldn't break the Scarlets defence down. They really struggled to look
:10:04. > :10:08.as if they would score tries. The Scarlets deserved to win. Talking
:10:09. > :10:12.about penetrative runners can we talk about how the scholars have
:10:13. > :10:16.struggled to punch holes in defences, which is their major
:10:17. > :10:19.weakness. They picked guys yesterday, fringe players that are
:10:20. > :10:24.not used to starting, and some of them really enhanced their
:10:25. > :10:31.reputations. Will Boyde was top drawer, by an alias. Every team
:10:32. > :10:40.wants to win but they had more urgency in the breakdown area. They
:10:41. > :10:49.didn't have a seven, Cam Dolan goes in an arc. Look at the gap he leads
:10:50. > :10:52.himself. It only takes a split-second, you are not going to
:10:53. > :10:59.move someone as strong as Will Boyde. They do a job early on. Van
:11:00. > :11:03.der Merwe summed up how urgent they were in the penalty area. Back on
:11:04. > :11:06.his feet, scrappy from Lloyd Williams and Tomos Williams that
:11:07. > :11:16.came on. Watch Shingler, he makes the tackle, and they win the
:11:17. > :11:19.turnover. We have criticised the Scarlets pack this year, but without
:11:20. > :11:24.the ball, they did a job on the Blues in the contact area. Almost
:11:25. > :11:28.the point you made, Jonathan, it was a faux pas with the fixture where it
:11:29. > :11:31.was in the calendar, which meant the international players couldn't play.
:11:32. > :11:38.But the fringe players stepped up. Brilliant. It was a great
:11:39. > :11:44.atmosphere, it was a great game, littered with mistakes, but
:11:45. > :11:50.unfortunately people are talking about the refereeing decisions.
:11:51. > :11:54.Sometimes with the atmosphere, you need an experienced referee. He
:11:55. > :11:58.stepped in late, and I don't care what the protocol is, those four
:11:59. > :12:08.have to get it right. The TMO, the assistant referees, the mistakes
:12:09. > :12:14.were plain. I feel sorry for him, but a brilliant game. A fantastic
:12:15. > :12:18.game, we will find out what happened in the second Welsh derby of the
:12:19. > :12:20.weekend. But first, a round-up of Pro12 action from the rest of the
:12:21. > :12:33.weekend. COMMENTATOR: The forwards go again.
:12:34. > :12:38.Feeds it to Jackson. Crossfield kick. Gilroy is there. That is a
:12:39. > :12:56.great opening score for Ulster. The forwards are just snuffling
:12:57. > :13:02.their way closer to that line. But that is a red boot that has hacked
:13:03. > :13:04.that on. Lyttle, the teenager is over! What a try from the
:13:05. > :13:16.19-year-old. Ulster really need to make the
:13:17. > :13:21.territory count here -- monster. Scannell down into the corner, and
:13:22. > :13:28.finally Munster make the scoreboard ticked in their direction.
:13:29. > :13:38.Williams is going to have two get it out and see what his options are.
:13:39. > :13:43.Taute is over, that is a try! Munster are back within a score.
:13:44. > :13:52.The determination by the visitors as Copeland takes it on. Who is next?
:13:53. > :13:57.It is arch. He gets over the gain line, just. It goes back, Scannell
:13:58. > :14:08.in the pocket, drop goal attempt. It is given, and that is the win.
:14:09. > :14:15.Trailing 12-0 after 40 minutes, two second-half tries for the home side
:14:16. > :14:27.looked to spearhead Edinburgh's rushes. But in the dying moments,
:14:28. > :14:33.the visitors sent a try over. Edinburgh with their first victim --
:14:34. > :14:37.Zebre with the first victory of their Pro12 season. Four first half
:14:38. > :14:41.tries for the home side had the bonus point in the bag after 40
:14:42. > :14:43.minutes. The second coming from a Tommy Seymour break, finished off
:14:44. > :14:49.clinically by centre Mark Bennett. A horror show for the visitors, who
:14:50. > :15:02.now sit bottom of the table. A crowd of over 18,000 packed into
:15:03. > :15:09.the RDS to watch Leinster reverse last season's Pro12 final last year.
:15:10. > :15:21.Leinster scored two tries in the second half. Leinster go top and
:15:22. > :15:25.stretch their winning run at home to 19 games.
:15:26. > :15:28.A week before the start of the autumn internationals,
:15:29. > :15:30.Wales Women played their first test of the season.
:15:31. > :15:32.Rowland Phillips was at the helm, as they took on Scotland
:15:33. > :15:37.at their new home, the Cardiff Arms Park.
:15:38. > :15:43.Less than 24 hours after that one of the most exciting matches of the
:15:44. > :15:47.Pro12 this season, it is now the turn of the women's National side,
:15:48. > :15:53.who play Scotland in their first start at their new home. We have
:15:54. > :15:57.been at some fantastic clubs over the years, but it shows the respect
:15:58. > :16:01.that people are showing for the women's game in Wales. It is a
:16:02. > :16:05.fantastic stadium, in the capital of Wales, so that is great for us. The
:16:06. > :16:09.first time we have had an autumn test for a number of years. A chance
:16:10. > :16:14.for Rowland to try out his players. It is our prep for the Six Nations
:16:15. > :16:18.and the World Cup. A great opportunity to run out today and to
:16:19. > :16:26.see how the players are performing. Come on, guys! We spent a lot of
:16:27. > :16:31.time watching the women's sevens at the Olympics, and the quality was
:16:32. > :16:39.absolutely incredible. It helped the decision to come here today. Quite a
:16:40. > :16:46.lot of camaraderie it seems. I think so, definitely! It is all good fun.
:16:47. > :16:57.COMMENTATOR: Charlotte Harris driving to the line for Wales. A lot
:16:58. > :17:01.of Welsh forwards there. Alicia butchers, and the captain goes over
:17:02. > :17:08.for the first try for Wales and it had to come. In terms of women's
:17:09. > :17:13.rugby in general, is it making strides? Definitely. You can see
:17:14. > :17:17.that from the amount of girls here today. It is the first time in a
:17:18. > :17:19.while we have had a autumn international, possibly the first
:17:20. > :17:25.time ever, so it is really, really good.
:17:26. > :17:36.Here is Phillips crossing the 22. Bevan to the right-hand side.
:17:37. > :17:45.Brilliantly to Charlie Murray and that is as good as it gets for
:17:46. > :17:50.Wales. Amazing. Really exciting and we are going to win, so that is what
:17:51. > :17:55.we are most excited about. I have always loved rugby, and I love a bit
:17:56. > :18:09.more free-flowing rugby. There is a bit less emphasis on the power game,
:18:10. > :18:14.and a bit more skill. Butchers five metres short of the line now for
:18:15. > :18:21.Wales. Just needs a final touch and it comes to Kavanagh.
:18:22. > :18:26.We took some nice positive steps forward today, and we keep building
:18:27. > :18:33.on that. Confidence is a big thing, belief is a big thing, the value of
:18:34. > :18:37.rugby is huge. We saw plenty of that today. Really good for the women's
:18:38. > :18:49.game. There is so much interest, and the momentum is picking up in Wales.
:18:50. > :18:53.Congratulations to the women, getting their test season off to a
:18:54. > :18:55.winning start. Phil Steele was commentating on that one, and here
:18:56. > :19:07.he is with the Premiership round-up. Action kicked off on Tuesday, a
:19:08. > :19:16.repeat of the outcome from the last meeting, something to spare. No joy
:19:17. > :19:22.yesterday, though. Aaron Warren with this try, which competent at 15
:19:23. > :19:37.points scored by Jack Maynard. An eight try demolition of Swansea,
:19:38. > :19:41.Branwell grabbed a brace of tries, and looked like a top eight place.
:19:42. > :20:06.The wizards pounced back with six second-half tries, and a nice way
:20:07. > :20:12.for Richard Carter to celebrate his 300th appearance. Rapidly improving
:20:13. > :20:19.Bridgend made it four wins on the bounce in all, dishes. Ravens never
:20:20. > :20:22.looked in trouble. Mark Bennett scored this try. Don't rule them out
:20:23. > :20:40.for a top eight place. Game of the Pontypridd and Neath, sharing nine
:20:41. > :20:41.tries. An honourable mention for the All Blacks, who contributed to a
:20:42. > :20:45.real five slap of a match. Also worth a hat tip, four tries
:20:46. > :21:04.including this, the final one. Cardiff kept in touch with the top
:21:05. > :21:08.eight despite playing all of the last quarter without Johnny Edwards,
:21:09. > :21:12.who was red carded for a punch. They came from a hind to win. It is as
:21:13. > :21:26.you work in the top three. The gap between the bottom eight is
:21:27. > :21:30.still at three points with Cardiff and Bridgend looking best poised to
:21:31. > :21:42.take advantage of any slip-ups above.
:21:43. > :21:45.And before we move on, we'd like to offer our condolences
:21:46. > :21:47.to the family of former Llandovery and Aberystwyth player,
:21:48. > :21:50.Eifion Gwynne who passed away last week at the age of 41.
:21:51. > :21:52.And there was some sad news yesterday as well,
:21:53. > :21:55.The former Ebbw Vale, Wales and Lions number eight,
:21:56. > :21:57.who also became Wales' first ever coach.
:21:58. > :22:26.Habberfield was partnered at half-backs, last weeks hat-trick
:22:27. > :22:32.hero Giles made a return after training with the national squad. It
:22:33. > :22:44.was all change in the front row, Thomas partnering Harris.
:22:45. > :22:54.COMMENTATOR: Matavesi, leading with the elbow. That looked dangerous. He
:22:55. > :22:59.could be in trouble. Let's see what Ben Whitehouse makes of this one. It
:23:00. > :23:06.is a yellow card, ten minutes in the bin for imagery Arhip. Habberfield
:23:07. > :23:09.looks both ways. Coming back to the openside, Dan Lydiate. Another
:23:10. > :23:14.flying elbow from Lydiate. If there is to be consistency, he could find
:23:15. > :23:18.himself cooling down to ten minutes, two. Ben Whitehouse has decided to
:23:19. > :23:29.be more lenient on this occasion. Them and controlling things at the
:23:30. > :23:35.base. Out to Habberfield. That is too easy for Ospreys. Two flailing
:23:36. > :23:41.tackles, Ospreys on the scoreboard. Clean take in the middle of the
:23:42. > :23:56.line-out. Ospreys setting up the rolling maul. Powering towards the
:23:57. > :24:05.line. It is a try for Baldwin. What a message to send out to Rob Howley.
:24:06. > :24:12.Habberfield down into the midfield. Lovely dummy. What an off-load from
:24:13. > :24:22.Matavesi. The youngster cannot stop scoring. That is his seventh try and
:24:23. > :24:29.four games. Loose ball, only one winner here. Another try for the
:24:30. > :24:34.youngster. What a cool finish, Giles over the line. Eight tries in four
:24:35. > :24:37.games, bonus point for Ospreys. This game is beyond the Dragons now,
:24:38. > :24:45.surely. Keelan Giles taking the physical route now. Brendon Leonard.
:24:46. > :24:48.Like Habberfield did, between two tackles. Far too easy for Ospreys
:24:49. > :24:52.and they are running away with this one.
:24:53. > :25:00.The Dragons have five minutes left on the clock now. Can they bagged a
:25:01. > :25:04.consolation try? Keeping things tight. Matthew Screech wiggles over,
:25:05. > :25:13.a try for the Dragons, but nothing more than a consolation.
:25:14. > :25:18.We enter the closing moments here at the Liberty Stadium, Dragons still
:25:19. > :25:25.in possession and they are not giving up. There is an overlap. Nice
:25:26. > :25:30.pass, the winger sliding, another try for the Dragons, but it will
:25:31. > :25:37.offer little in the way of comfort. They are well beaten here tonight. I
:25:38. > :25:40.am proud of the boys. They deserved five points, but conceded a couple
:25:41. > :25:47.of tries at the back end, which is disappointing. Massive pride, there
:25:48. > :25:52.are so many proud players coming to international duty. But good to get
:25:53. > :25:56.the five points. A little bird tells me you have been calling yourself
:25:57. > :26:01.Josh Biggar, asking for a pay rise. After a performance like that, why
:26:02. > :26:10.not? It has been a tough week, switching position. But Luke Price,
:26:11. > :26:15.but they have been helpful with me. Thanks to those guys. This is a
:26:16. > :26:20.tough place to come against a good team, so no complaints. We need to
:26:21. > :26:27.take some belief, particularly from the last 10-15 minutes. We kept
:26:28. > :26:31.going. Obviously, on our own ground, it is a different kettle of fish, so
:26:32. > :26:36.we want to keep the same effort, improve. We need to improve for the
:26:37. > :26:48.game against Connacht. Leinster go top after their win
:26:49. > :26:53.against Connacht. Glasgow third, and those teams all on the same points.
:26:54. > :26:59.Very tight at the top. Munster into fourth, Ulster dropped to fifth. As
:27:00. > :27:04.we saw on Friday, Scarlets swap with the Blues, into the top six. We
:27:05. > :27:09.talked at the start of the programme about the missing internationals.
:27:10. > :27:14.The Ospreys supply more than any side, 12 in all. 12 in the squad
:27:15. > :27:18.initially, which makes the performance yesterday that bit more
:27:19. > :27:24.impressive. If ever the Dragons were going to go to the Liberty Stadium
:27:25. > :27:28.to win, with the missing players, but Ospreys, the pack was
:27:29. > :27:31.outstanding. So physical, the Dragons couldn't handle the
:27:32. > :27:38.physicality. When they had the ball, they couldn't make inroads. This was
:27:39. > :27:46.after two minutes, and they couldn't get over the gain line. They were
:27:47. > :27:49.manhandled. That is after two minutes in, spilling the ball. But
:27:50. > :27:55.really impressed when they had the ball. Controlling the tackle area,
:27:56. > :28:04.Scott Baldwin with the off-load to Arhip. Brilliant ball play. McCusker
:28:05. > :28:11.from Norway, he had a great game, he got them on the front foot. When
:28:12. > :28:14.they have two, they ground it out. The physicality, they couldn't
:28:15. > :28:24.handle them. When you think of the players that were out of the Ospreys
:28:25. > :28:31.pack yesterday, to do that to the Dragons, I would be worried, because
:28:32. > :28:34.they are in a rut at the minute. As well as Ospreys played, on the flip
:28:35. > :28:40.side, the Dragons were very poor yesterday. Scott Baldwin, what a
:28:41. > :28:46.message, he goes and scores a try. Putting his name back into the hat
:28:47. > :28:49.for Australia. We talked about the refereeing in the first Welsh derby,
:28:50. > :28:55.there was an interesting talking point yesterday. Arhip sent to the
:28:56. > :28:56.bin for leading with the forehand. Lydiate did something similar and
:28:57. > :29:08.got away with it. I'm not sure if I can spot the
:29:09. > :29:13.difference. Sometimes you have to give the player the benefit of the
:29:14. > :29:18.doubt. If you are going to offend someone, if you need a bit of space,
:29:19. > :29:24.your natural wood action is to go like that. Because you cannot extend
:29:25. > :29:29.it, you have to hit to defend yourself. It is all about
:29:30. > :29:40.consistency. Here is the first one. He gets up. He leads with it, that's
:29:41. > :29:49.it. That is nearly a red card. What's the difference here? What is
:29:50. > :30:02.the difference? I can't spot one. So you think neither of them should
:30:03. > :30:05.have been... ? Sometimes, yes, the players welfare is the most
:30:06. > :30:11.important thing but you have to give the benefit of the doubt because
:30:12. > :30:17.there, if you give a yellow card, it is something to spoil the game.
:30:18. > :30:29.Nearly a red card is one, which is a prop, and then you have a week
:30:30. > :30:35.forward does the same and doesn't get penalised. Where is the
:30:36. > :30:44.consistency and the referees to help the referee out? We talked about
:30:45. > :30:50.Keelan Giles and stop pressing this guy's claim for international rugby
:30:51. > :30:57.but he has done it again. Put him in the alliance map straightaway. He is
:30:58. > :31:05.a special talent. He has got that one thing that I wish I had, he has
:31:06. > :31:12.speed. I was really impressed with his all-round game. He defended well
:31:13. > :31:17.but you have to put it into context. You can only play what is in front
:31:18. > :31:24.of you. He will play for Wales many times. At 18 years of age, let him
:31:25. > :31:32.develop. Look at the first try. He runs a good angle. But he is there,
:31:33. > :31:41.he has pace, he looks for work and the playing for the Ospreys, they
:31:42. > :31:44.will develop him well, but realistically, you haven't got that
:31:45. > :31:52.great strength and depth for Wales. Those two boys in the Ospreys
:31:53. > :31:57.yesterday might well be called up. I would not brush them myself, put
:31:58. > :32:03.them in the camp, bring them along, but if we get injured, you might see
:32:04. > :32:06.him playing in the autumn. If he wants to stay under the radar, he
:32:07. > :32:10.has to stop playing so well. Now then, it's the most fabled
:32:11. > :32:13.jersey in Welsh rugby history. Sam Davies may have some strong
:32:14. > :32:17.competition in that Welsh squad, but the Ospreys pivot is determined
:32:18. > :32:34.to make his presence felt. Many congratulations on your call
:32:35. > :32:42.up. Take us back to the day when it happened. I was in training,
:32:43. > :32:47.preparing for the game against Lyon and then James King said, Sam, you
:32:48. > :32:53.might want to check your e-mails. I had a quick look and an e-mail came
:32:54. > :33:01.through saying, congratulations, you have been selected. Did you come in
:33:02. > :33:08.thinking, I am the third choice, or do you come in, I want to prove
:33:09. > :33:13.myself? Definitely. You cannot wrest back and watch the other guys do the
:33:14. > :33:18.wraps. You have to be stubborn, get in and express yourself as much as
:33:19. > :33:23.possible. Tell us about your religion ship with time bigger. You
:33:24. > :33:28.are schoolmates, rivals and now you are Welsh international team-mates.
:33:29. > :33:34.It is interesting and a talking point. We get on well but at the end
:33:35. > :33:42.of the day, the rivalry on the field can stay off the field and we remain
:33:43. > :33:52.mates off the field. It is getting a bit more competitive on the training
:33:53. > :34:01.partner. With Wales, Dan has 40 plus caps so he has the experience these
:34:02. > :34:09.games need. Like I said, it will only benefit us both. Nigel Davies
:34:10. > :34:15.going through. Can he make it to the corner? There is pedigree in the
:34:16. > :34:19.Davies family. Father Nigel enjoyed a decade-long test career and some's
:34:20. > :34:26.passion was evident from an early age. The first word he ever said was
:34:27. > :34:32.ball and I have pictures of him trying to keep the ball all over the
:34:33. > :34:38.house. It is something he has done from the moment he could speak, walk
:34:39. > :34:42.and talk is play with a ball. After every game he rings me and lets me
:34:43. > :34:45.know how he thinks I went and that is great for me, because it is good
:34:46. > :34:53.to have someone who knows so much about the game. Just keeps my feet
:34:54. > :35:00.on the ground and make sure I keep improving and he can help critique
:35:01. > :35:04.my game. Do you take that criticism better from him? Definitely. That's
:35:05. > :35:14.why it comes in handy if it comes from my father. That is where you
:35:15. > :35:19.need to work on it more. He has played internationally for the under
:35:20. > :35:24.20s, he has played for the Ospreys but I have always said, if you do
:35:25. > :35:31.ever get a Welsh cup, it is the beginning. It will be very emotional
:35:32. > :35:37.for me, having seen the journey he has gone through. A great delay!
:35:38. > :35:44.Brilliant from Sam Davies. Beautiful play. Let's talk about your
:35:45. > :35:48.opponents coming up. A lot of people are judging everyone else against
:35:49. > :35:54.the gold standard of New Zealand and some are coming to the conclusion
:35:55. > :35:59.that Australia are a soft target because they were beaten heavily by
:36:00. > :36:06.New Zealand. We are looking at this game as a real tough opposition as
:36:07. > :36:15.southern hemisphere teams always are and we are going to do our utmost.
:36:16. > :36:21.Hopefully a good start against Australia which builds momentum and
:36:22. > :36:33.just consistent performances then. That is a great upbeat note to
:36:34. > :36:36.finish on. Good luck, Sam. Good half an hour we had with Sam Davies and
:36:37. > :36:44.his position in the Welsh squad richly deserved. Another thing he
:36:45. > :36:51.mentioned in that interview was how he relishes the physical side of the
:36:52. > :36:56.game despite being a smaller player. A bit different when you have
:36:57. > :37:00.someone Albert running down your channel. I would not say when issue
:37:01. > :37:06.the physical side but he has played well this year. As Nigel said, he
:37:07. > :37:12.has played internationally so he knows what it is like to be in camp
:37:13. > :37:15.and he has stepped up a level. Rightly he is in the squad and we
:37:16. > :37:24.have to see what happens in the autumn. That shot of Nigel playing
:37:25. > :37:30.was your debut, Martin. A nice ginger mop of hair so you would not
:37:31. > :37:35.recognise me. Let's talk about Australia. First opponents in this
:37:36. > :37:39.autumn campaign. Before we talk about our prospects, I want to talk
:37:40. > :37:49.about the team because you have come up with a combined 15. I think the
:37:50. > :37:57.front five picks itself. It is a toss-up between Bradley Davies and
:37:58. > :38:06.Luke Charter. Back row, our best player is unfortunately injured. Got
:38:07. > :38:13.to pick Ross Moriarty, he was outstanding against New Zealand. I
:38:14. > :38:16.don't think Sam will be ready, he has not played much of the battle
:38:17. > :38:25.this year. He has not done himself justice. An interesting selection. I
:38:26. > :38:30.think they will start with this and hopefully the Williams will be fit,
:38:31. > :38:35.I would pick him at full-back because I know Lee Halfpenny is very
:38:36. > :38:43.comfortable in the wing. Start with the same set midfield, but it all
:38:44. > :38:49.depends on how they go in on selection for the autumn and which
:38:50. > :38:58.way they want to play, so whoever gets a ten berth on the bench, Scott
:38:59. > :39:02.Williams into centre, they mention evolving their game and I think that
:39:03. > :39:09.after seeing this selection and how they play, and what changes they
:39:10. > :39:14.make, subtle changes, because they have to evolve. The way we have
:39:15. > :39:21.played, people have worked us out so it will be a severe test. The
:39:22. > :39:25.biggest test traditionally is getting them up to speed to an
:39:26. > :39:33.international level. We always struggle starting. That will be the
:39:34. > :39:37.biggest challenge for the players because the Australians have been
:39:38. > :39:45.playing against the best against the world, they are up to pace, up to
:39:46. > :39:47.speed. We have the talent to beat the Australians, it's just whether
:39:48. > :39:54.they can get up to speed straightaway. It is managing
:39:55. > :40:03.expectations as well. I watched last weeks Test match against New
:40:04. > :40:06.Zealand, that was a real test and I think Australia will start as
:40:07. > :40:12.favourites on Saturday. They will have regrouped, have the Rugby
:40:13. > :40:26.Championship kind them and they will be hard to beat. I'm not saying we
:40:27. > :40:31.can't beat them, but if we play well, or don't play well, that is
:40:32. > :40:37.the range we can look at success rates but it will be a real tough
:40:38. > :40:42.ask and for me it is evolving. Results are the most important
:40:43. > :40:47.thing, seeing how Wales plays is important for me and seeing who the
:40:48. > :40:54.selection will be in ten, 12, 13 positions. In the modern game, you
:40:55. > :40:58.will be disappointed not to make the 15th but it is about the squad. If
:40:59. > :41:07.you are a player, you want the starting jersey. We found out in the
:41:08. > :41:14.summer, the bench is so important. That's where I could see where it
:41:15. > :41:20.you would put Moriarty because maybe Dan Baker is more of an impact
:41:21. > :41:25.player in the last half-hour. Yes, the old age debate of who will start
:41:26. > :41:32.20 years ago was a big thing but now you need 23 layers who can play test
:41:33. > :41:37.rugby. With the water comes you watch all the sites play rugby union
:41:38. > :41:42.and rugby league and the southern hemisphere sides they have composure
:41:43. > :41:47.and they are clinical and that happens. They try and play things,
:41:48. > :41:52.but if it is not on, they will be patient and they won't try it. They
:41:53. > :41:58.know they have time on their hands and that is where we need to see
:41:59. > :42:03.with Wales, they have been in positions and blown it, so hopefully
:42:04. > :42:09.with this squad developing and mature in, they now know what they
:42:10. > :42:13.need to win games and if you look at Argentina, how they have evolves,
:42:14. > :42:20.they got the Rugby Championship, date can't win by kicking goals,
:42:21. > :42:30.they have to play and that's where Wales have to show everyone they are
:42:31. > :42:39.trying to change. Showing change and attacking structures. You have
:42:40. > :42:44.beaten them, how do you do it? First when we have beaten them it was the
:42:45. > :42:50.fourth game. The Welsh toys should be confident. They did well in the
:42:51. > :42:59.summer. Those first two tests, we were fighting New Zealand there. I
:43:00. > :43:07.hope Ian Williams is fit. If we can overcome the two best players, a bit
:43:08. > :43:14.of luck, I see no reason why we can't be in with a shout. If we play
:43:15. > :43:19.well, we can win every game. I love that. We can beat them all!
:43:20. > :43:22.This time next week, we'll hopefully be celebrating
:43:23. > :43:24.a first victory over the Wallabies in eight years.
