0:00:53 > 0:00:57Welcome to highlights. We will see the matches in Dublin where Ireland

0:00:57 > 0:01:01are playing Italy and a compelling game with a great finale at

0:01:01 > 0:01:11Twickenham where England play Wales. Wales have only won once in the

0:01:11 > 0:01:12

0:01:12 > 0:01:17receding 24 years. The big question with the new-look English side

0:01:17 > 0:01:23suffer the Welsh back in their search for the Triple Crown? Hoping

0:01:23 > 0:01:29to secure their t win of the campaign against the much improved

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Italy side chasing their t-ever Six Nations victory. We will start at

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Murrayfield between Scotland an France that round off this third

0:01:35 > 0:01:43weekend amounts match where Scotland had a lot to prove having

0:01:43 > 0:01:46played to and lost to for the fifth consecutive Six Nations

0:01:46 > 0:01:51Championship gains at French side inactive because of the

0:01:51 > 0:02:01postponement against Ireland. They will have to play four successive

0:02:01 > 0:02:05weekend. COMMENTATOR: A wonderful noise to follow the flames and the

0:02:05 > 0:02:11fireworks for a full house in Murrayfield for the t time since

0:02:11 > 0:02:161994. Much expected of Stuart Hogg, an indicator there is a ground

0:02:16 > 0:02:25swefl support for the Scotish press. Huge numbers of French supporters

0:02:25 > 0:02:35as well. Scotland's back row John Berkley a blind side filled in with

0:02:35 > 0:02:40an injury. But no Murray. The Edinburgh half back Laidlaw ready

0:02:41 > 0:02:50to switch a round in 9 and 106789 Morrison is back. Can Hogg provide

0:02:51 > 0:03:07

0:03:07 > 0:03:11some sparkle? A similar line-up in the back. Among the replacements,

0:03:11 > 0:03:15Glasgow's stand-off Weir waits for his debut t only player not to come

0:03:15 > 0:03:24off the benched in Wales. The French benched is simply packed

0:03:24 > 0:03:29with talent. (Whistle blown). Scotland in the pristine white when

0:03:29 > 0:03:39Scotland comes to visit. They get their t hands on the ball from

0:03:39 > 0:03:40

0:03:41 > 0:03:46Laidlaw's start. Immediate lid it goes high for Parra. Immediately a

0:03:46 > 0:03:56stand-off and thousands upon thousands of French fans here A

0:03:56 > 0:03:56

0:03:56 > 0:04:06good carry by Graeme Morrison. Then a bit of a fumble from him but went

0:04:06 > 0:04:09

0:04:09 > 0:04:14backwards. Well, Still skorbgs carried by Geoff Cross. A penalty I

0:04:14 > 0:04:24think for Scotland. So if there is no advantage they will have a good

0:04:24 > 0:04:30

0:04:30 > 0:04:34field position. There is the penalty. The officials did not see

0:04:34 > 0:04:42that. The will the officials make the most of this opportunity? Way,

0:04:43 > 0:04:51way short, unfortunately. The French defence is well set. Denton

0:04:51 > 0:05:01straight in and again Scotland pounding away but it has all been

0:05:01 > 0:05:06soaked up by the French defence. Back to Morrison. Hogg this time

0:05:06 > 0:05:12almost squeezed himself - a tackle. I think Hogg has the ability to

0:05:13 > 0:05:16pick a defender and run at him. Maybe a forward. Lose passe gain.

0:05:16 > 0:05:21Scotland for the moment at a standstill once more. Laid lay. Is

0:05:21 > 0:05:31it wide to Lee Jones? Hogg! With a triefplt he is there as Scotland

0:05:31 > 0:05:37

0:05:37 > 0:05:43have their reward! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Just watch him. Just at

0:05:43 > 0:05:47drop pass and the defenders go to the right-hand side, they go the

0:05:47 > 0:05:51other way. Laidlaw flips it back. There is a lovely pass. I think it

0:05:51 > 0:06:01is Jones, but that is a very good finish. In the end when it finally

0:06:01 > 0:06:03

0:06:03 > 0:06:07came an elusive try for Scotland, it looked really simple.

0:06:07 > 0:06:14touchdown as well. The right-fooder is very good from Laidlaw and

0:06:14 > 0:06:20Scotland have a 7-point lead. Scotland again edging forward. Now

0:06:20 > 0:06:26with a bit more pace about them as well. Berkley find one there. Blair

0:06:26 > 0:06:30looking for Lee Jones. When there is no fullback at home... Scotland

0:06:30 > 0:06:36in trouble. Medard into space. Stuart Hogg in front of him. It is

0:06:36 > 0:06:41a little chip. Hes has taken and the pal will come to Scotland and

0:06:41 > 0:06:48to Rory Lennon and now Scotland try to run it to the middle of 22.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52Morrison. Good play, this is. Breathless stuff! He is through.

0:06:52 > 0:06:59Taken down by a tough tackle. Amazing passage of play from both

0:06:59 > 0:07:09sides. Laid lay wide to Lee Jones tries to step inside. He is taken

0:07:09 > 0:07:11

0:07:11 > 0:07:16down. Geoff Cross. Again they have numbers on the right-hand side.

0:07:16 > 0:07:26Laidlaw decide to bring the passage of play to a 50. He runs back. The

0:07:26 > 0:07:33big number 8. He decides to kick. That is a very good kick, actually.

0:07:33 > 0:07:40Good distance. A bounce. In-field to Hogg. Stuart Hogg a flash ever

0:07:40 > 0:07:50yellow and away but as he kicks too long. Just watch. This is a danger.

0:07:50 > 0:07:50

0:07:50 > 0:07:59Once he dropped the ball Medard is away. Jacobson just rolling forward

0:07:59 > 0:08:04again. Laid-back but nobody there but the French are off-side and

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Scotland have a penalty and a very, very pickable one as well. You have

0:08:07 > 0:08:13the tick the point. Turn the pressure into points. Very, very

0:08:13 > 0:08:23good play for Scotland. Laidlaw and the conversion successful of Hogg's

0:08:23 > 0:08:26

0:08:26 > 0:08:32try. The kick is through from the Edinburgh flyhalf of. Scotland lead

0:08:32 > 0:08:382-nil. Looking for a quick ball. Bounces off one tackle. To fly half

0:08:38 > 0:08:48L threw himself and now wide. Good hands. A wonderful try for Fofana.

0:08:48 > 0:08:48

0:08:49 > 0:08:57France hit back. Again it is a mis- tackle. By Greg Laidlaw, he has to

0:08:57 > 0:09:00make those. Just watch. Over he goes. Pulse in number 12 he has a

0:09:00 > 0:09:10position - pulls - hot an angle this is. A good angle and

0:09:10 > 0:09:13

0:09:13 > 0:09:18tremendous finish. France have 7 point in the bag and Scotland's

0:09:19 > 0:09:23lead is town to 3 after half an hour here at Murray field a restart.

0:09:23 > 0:09:33Taken well there. I think there is a winger injured there to injuries.

0:09:33 > 0:09:51

0:09:51 > 0:09:55Very sad. Very, very awkward. Landed on his right footy think.

0:09:56 > 0:10:01Went a penalty for France this time. Pretty sure they will take a pop at

0:10:01 > 0:10:11goal on the far side S Jacobson went down there. In the end the

0:10:11 > 0:10:12

0:10:12 > 0:10:22scrum, the French seem to have the upper hand. Parra find another 3

0:10:22 > 0:10:24

0:10:24 > 0:10:33points for France and we are all square at Murrayfield! Sets off.

0:10:33 > 0:10:43All in him. Trying to hack it clear. Scotland give up the penalty.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48France have it. Jacobson just in on the ball. Off his feet. They will -

0:10:49 > 0:10:52can their luck slowly build? little chip. They are up again.

0:10:52 > 0:10:57Comes back for the penalty. They will kick a goal. I quite like that

0:10:57 > 0:11:02as well. They know they have the penalty, why not? Rather than go

0:11:02 > 0:11:06for the drop goal go for the try. A chance for Morgan Parra to give

0:11:06 > 0:11:16France the lead for the first time thin match. Which he does. 14 point

0:11:16 > 0:11:16

0:11:16 > 0:11:21in front, the visitors! What can deprapbs do with this? Fofana has

0:11:21 > 0:11:31secured it. -- France. He has worked the defence A great turn-

0:11:31 > 0:11:33

0:11:33 > 0:11:43over. Well done the Scotland forward. Beat to Hogg. His pick is

0:11:43 > 0:11:51take en and gives to it his opposite winger. A real chance now.

0:11:51 > 0:11:59If he come on - gets the ball. Taken and gives it. A tie for Lee

0:11:59 > 0:12:07Jones A second try for Scotland! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) They turned

0:12:07 > 0:12:17the ball over. Brilliant coming up with great play, good space. Does

0:12:17 > 0:12:17

0:12:17 > 0:12:20not panic. Easy give-and-take. Lovely try. Weir has his first

0:12:20 > 0:12:30international point as well. Scotland have a four-point lead.

0:12:30 > 0:12:43

0:12:43 > 0:12:53Holding his man off. Yes, over the game line. France competing well.

0:12:53 > 0:13:01Now it's a turnover. This is where France can be dangerous. They have

0:13:01 > 0:13:11the advantage. A couple of penalties. They may not need it.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Medard! Under the posts! Once more, France reply in style. Just the

0:13:18 > 0:13:28lack of concentration on the Scottish side. A lovely runner,

0:13:28 > 0:13:31

0:13:31 > 0:13:39Medard. Two tries a piece but France in front. A great take. A

0:13:39 > 0:13:47difficult pass. Beauxis has plenty of time and has the drop goal!

0:13:47 > 0:13:57France have a six point lead. A big drop goal. Good decision. Three

0:13:57 > 0:14:04points. Scotland have been fantastic. Scoring tries. But just

0:14:04 > 0:14:12not enough. That's it, that's all they had to do. Secure that line.

0:14:12 > 0:14:22The match is over. Victory for France. Their second one. They go

0:14:22 > 0:14:23

0:14:23 > 0:14:33to the re-match with Ireland next weekend. After we showed a lot of

0:14:33 > 0:14:43character. In the second half, we had good contact. It was a good

0:14:43 > 0:14:52game. It can get so frustrating when you see the opportunities.

0:14:52 > 0:15:01Suddenly we got lost in contact. I need to look at the tapes. I think

0:15:01 > 0:15:11we were harshly treated. We are bitterly disappointed. After the

0:15:11 > 0:15:17end of the day, we did not get the win and that is what we wanted.

0:15:17 > 0:15:25was a costly gain from an injury. Of you? Yes. We lost three or four

0:15:25 > 0:15:30players. One suspected broken leg. Pretty tough. At other

0:15:30 > 0:15:40disappointing result for Scotland but France now have three matches

0:15:40 > 0:15:41

0:15:41 > 0:15:48back-to-back against the other home nations. Wales were 1-2 as well.

0:15:48 > 0:15:53What a match it turned out to be. Good afternoon. Welcome to

0:15:53 > 0:16:03Twickenham. The conditions are perfect. A rich green grass and a

0:16:03 > 0:16:03

0:16:03 > 0:16:09clear blue sky. England were worried about high it. Morgan

0:16:09 > 0:16:13worried about high it. Morgan starts at number eight. A lot

0:16:13 > 0:16:23depends on the half-back partnership. Owen Farrell moves

0:16:23 > 0:16:26

0:16:26 > 0:16:36from 12 to 10. Alan Wyn Jones is back in the second row. In the

0:16:36 > 0:16:39

0:16:39 > 0:16:43heart of the line-up. Rhys Priestland will pull the strings.

0:16:43 > 0:16:50From the bench will come lots of experience for Wales. Stephen Jones

0:16:50 > 0:17:00is there. Rhian Jones is on the bench as well. He played so well in

0:17:00 > 0:17:01

0:17:01 > 0:17:11the last round. Two side, unbeaten. England against Wales. Owen Farrell

0:17:11 > 0:17:19

0:17:19 > 0:17:29Mike Phillips weights and cheques where his partner is. Takes the

0:17:29 > 0:17:32

0:17:32 > 0:17:42responsibility himself. -- waits and checks. Pass from Morgan. Leigh

0:17:42 > 0:17:56

0:17:56 > 0:18:02A penalty in Wales' favour. From the crowd, they're not happy about

0:18:02 > 0:18:12the fact they thought the ball was held on the floor. Not releasing.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16

0:18:16 > 0:18:25Well taken to Phillips. North! A great tackle. Here we go. Wales -

0:18:25 > 0:18:35the chase is on! The ball goes dead. It was all so easy. That's what

0:18:35 > 0:18:41

0:18:41 > 0:18:51Wales can do. They have so many The prop, there he is. Switched by

0:18:51 > 0:18:56

0:18:56 > 0:19:06Dixon. England have a penalty He knew there was a penalty

0:19:06 > 0:19:12

0:19:12 > 0:19:22advantage. Offside against Wales. England take the lead! Owen Farrell

0:19:22 > 0:19:41

0:19:41 > 0:19:51Too slow. That was a penalty. It was mad. You don't work to get a

0:19:51 > 0:20:08

0:20:08 > 0:20:18three point lead and then just give Tuilagi! What a tackle by Sam

0:20:18 > 0:20:40

0:20:40 > 0:20:50Warburton! Ben Morgan, another good This is Lee Dixon. Up and puts him

0:20:50 > 0:21:06

0:21:06 > 0:21:16The pass goes astray. Back to the original penalty. He looked like he

0:21:16 > 0:21:21

0:21:21 > 0:21:31got him right around the ankles. A A thumping tackle. Jamie Roberts is

0:21:31 > 0:22:04

0:22:04 > 0:22:14He knows that was the wrong option. England's making the turnover. Here

0:22:14 > 0:22:21

0:22:21 > 0:22:31Warburton with the interception of the pass. England with the penalty.

0:22:31 > 0:22:39

0:22:39 > 0:22:49Wales over the top. The back foot's Three from three. Nervous Owen

0:22:49 > 0:22:58

0:22:58 > 0:23:08Farrell. A good kick there from a Charged down! England crawl

0:23:08 > 0:23:19

0:23:19 > 0:23:29forward! There it is! Halfpenny Three points on the board!

0:23:29 > 0:23:32

0:23:32 > 0:23:42Happiness for England, suffering for Wales! Priestland's back foot

0:23:42 > 0:23:48

0:23:48 > 0:23:58is way behind. Owen Farrell's put the three points on the board. It's

0:23:58 > 0:23:58

0:23:58 > 0:25:04Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds

0:25:04 > 0:25:14Is that advantage over? It surely must be. This is Jenkins. England

0:25:14 > 0:25:42

0:25:42 > 0:25:52Jones tackled by Barrett. Jonathan Davis was outside Priestland so he

0:25:52 > 0:25:56

0:25:56 > 0:26:06goes on his own. Penalty to Walres! When the referee tells you, doesn't

0:26:06 > 0:26:17

0:26:17 > 0:26:21matter if you agree or not. You let 12-12 now with eight minutes to go.

0:26:21 > 0:26:31It is not about creativity here, it is about mistakes. Excellent by

0:26:31 > 0:26:33

0:26:33 > 0:26:43England there. Rob Shaw to Lawes. Wales makes the charge! They've

0:26:43 > 0:26:45

0:26:45 > 0:26:53done it! Scores a try! That might take Wales to their Triple Crown at

0:26:53 > 0:27:03Tickenham! They've never won a Triple Crown here! A mistake that

0:27:03 > 0:27:21

0:27:22 > 0:27:31could cost England dear! Individual North - and the ball elludes both

0:27:32 > 0:27:44

0:27:44 > 0:27:54North and Stettle. How close was that? Good drive by Wales. Still on

0:27:54 > 0:28:01

0:28:01 > 0:28:11play for nothing now. England joining. One metre short! Which way

0:28:11 > 0:28:11

0:28:11 > 0:28:21will they climb? Here we go. It is going to take off. Didn't go there.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24

0:28:24 > 0:28:30Lucky if he did. This could be it? Yeah, it will be. Takes him there.

0:28:30 > 0:28:34Does he play? Not there. Is it there? Is that down? I do not think

0:28:35 > 0:28:43he can give that because he has been asked for a tie or no-try.

0:28:43 > 0:28:48Interesting the ball is down. No try! The game is over! The tie has

0:28:48 > 0:28:52not been awarded to England and Wales have won here at Twickenham

0:28:52 > 0:28:57and they complete the Triple Crown. Three wins out of three! The game

0:28:57 > 0:29:07decided by the break-away try by Scott Williams and Wales start the

0:29:07 > 0:29:11celebrations. We not play well at all but so for the Six Nations, we

0:29:11 > 0:29:21completely ignored that. We knew England were fully out there. It

0:29:21 > 0:29:25was so tough but to have a Triple Crown is unbelievable. We failed to

0:29:25 > 0:29:30capitalise on the momentum we had but equally I think we should take

0:29:30 > 0:29:34great credit from the performance coming into the game. 108, two caps

0:29:34 > 0:29:40on the Sydney and everything behind that. The developing side has given

0:29:40 > 0:29:46experience and throts learn, lots of credit to take. We have the

0:29:46 > 0:29:50regroup now, learn the lessons and move onto what is in front. That

0:29:50 > 0:29:55was a tough match-up. Nothing in it. What do you say? I thought probably

0:29:56 > 0:30:02the turning point for the game for us was in the 10 minutes when it

0:30:02 > 0:30:06was 3-all and we kept hold of the ball and we played really well but,

0:30:06 > 0:30:14yeah, England were tough. I thought they played extremely well. They

0:30:14 > 0:30:20did not make it easy for us and we just probably had a bit more

0:30:20 > 0:30:24firepower than they did. But there was not much in it. What a match,

0:30:24 > 0:30:34drama. And controversy. We will talk 3. That in a minute. One more

0:30:34 > 0:30:40

0:30:40 > 0:30:44match. That is the third match weekend. The same line-up today for

0:30:44 > 0:30:50Ireland that was flamed for the game that never was. The Irish pack

0:30:50 > 0:30:58has a settled look to it. The front row all the better for the tight-

0:30:58 > 0:31:04head prop Mike Ross. Three destructive ball carriers. In the

0:31:04 > 0:31:08backline a change to the side that will run out against Wales. Carney

0:31:09 > 0:31:15seems to be getting back to the form which made him fullback for

0:31:15 > 0:31:22the Lions. Italy have built their game on a powerful scrum but two

0:31:22 > 0:31:29inexperienced props today The captain, captains his side for a

0:31:29 > 0:31:36record 38 time and Jack Purnell, scrum-half of by trade one of 10

0:31:36 > 0:31:46players in the starting XV. He may make his 118th appearance for

0:31:46 > 0:31:54

0:31:54 > 0:32:04Ireland A record passing Ryan O'Driscoll. Ireland with a bit of

0:32:04 > 0:32:17

0:32:17 > 0:32:23space to exploit. He has not done well. They have had opportunity to

0:32:23 > 0:32:33put the ball deep but passed them. And through, Italy have three

0:32:33 > 0:33:02

0:33:02 > 0:33:12points. They have the lead on their own. Sexton then to tie draw

0:33:12 > 0:33:14

0:33:14 > 0:33:24Ireland level. They look good and it is. Jonathan Sexton rises from

0:33:24 > 0:33:33

0:33:33 > 0:33:43the ground. Nothing between these two sides. Sexton steps inside

0:33:43 > 0:33:45

0:33:45 > 0:33:55struggling on. Not quite held. Wide! Oh for the try! A quick ball.

0:33:55 > 0:34:01Didn't give Italy a chance to realign their defence. John Sexton

0:34:01 > 0:34:09effectively taken out two players over there. They are in trouble

0:34:09 > 0:34:16again. Clashes on. So near to the line. Tries to get it down. Held

0:34:16 > 0:34:22just short. There is Craig Juobert. Italy so many men over. A tie for

0:34:22 > 0:34:27Italy. He scuffle under the post. Sergio, the captain, hits back for

0:34:27 > 0:34:35the Italians. Look at the men over. That was a great hit. They packed

0:34:35 > 0:34:41the left-hand. Keith there virtually the lone defender. He was

0:34:41 > 0:34:51not going to let that opportunity go. A quicker ball. Wide it goes.

0:34:51 > 0:34:52

0:34:52 > 0:34:59Sexton. Nearly through. Good defence from Italy. Dives in there

0:34:59 > 0:35:03himself. Ireland looking for a tie to finish this first half. Carried

0:35:03 > 0:35:08on by Callahan. A secondary drive from the forward sets it up two

0:35:08 > 0:35:13metres out. Murray back to Gordon D'Arcy. Wide out there to Carney.

0:35:13 > 0:35:20Surely ferries gives it wide to Tommy Bow and Bow is in for the tie

0:35:20 > 0:35:23which will give Ireland the lead at half time. The man his size would

0:35:23 > 0:35:30have made line but very unselfishly he has given the pass and for his

0:35:30 > 0:35:35team he has made sure of the five points. A final kick of the t half

0:35:35 > 0:35:40is very good indeed as was his has its induction. Ireland have a

0:35:40 > 0:35:47seven-point led at half time. Again, a little uneven at times in its

0:35:47 > 0:35:56quality but certainly Ireland have taken the chances. Trimble in the

0:35:56 > 0:36:02flyhalf of position. Into the to centres. Ferries! Offloads well.

0:36:02 > 0:36:12Had the ball there. The the attack - sure hey tie coming now is Mike

0:36:12 > 0:36:16

0:36:16 > 0:36:26Ross. Down on the line. Italy in desperate scrum bling defence.

0:36:26 > 0:36:39

0:36:39 > 0:36:46Ireland set it up 2 metres out. Nothing there yet. Sexton a long

0:36:46 > 0:36:53pass. Tommy Pow is for his second try - Bow -- and Ireland now

0:36:53 > 0:36:56marching clear. Now you can see them really on top. That is

0:36:56 > 0:37:04territorial pressure. When they do get these chances now you feel a

0:37:04 > 0:37:10try is the always going to come. There is the record-breaking man.

0:37:10 > 0:37:20Number 100 - 18 for Ireland. One more in Bryan O'Driscoll. Only

0:37:20 > 0:37:38

0:37:38 > 0:37:48George Gregan is ahead of him. Chance still for Ireland here.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51

0:37:51 > 0:38:00Three metres out. Advantage again to Ireland, penalty coming for them.

0:38:00 > 0:38:05So close Ireland, trying to burrow through. Craig Joubert tie has been

0:38:05 > 0:38:15given. The celebrations are there number 4 for Ireland and it looked

0:38:15 > 0:38:36

0:38:36 > 0:38:44like was Tom Court who got the ball down eventually. A charge from

0:38:44 > 0:38:54Trimble. A corner. Another try for Ireland. Trimble is in a gift for

0:38:54 > 0:39:01

0:39:01 > 0:39:11Italy. Well taken by Andrew Trimble. He is never going to be caught from

0:39:11 > 0:39:18

0:39:18 > 0:39:22there. Difficult pointed to the last. A complete kicking

0:39:22 > 0:39:28performance from Jonathan section tofpblt Ireland utterly emphatic

0:39:28 > 0:39:32tofpblt Ireland utterly emphatic winners by 42 point to 10. After a

0:39:32 > 0:39:36run of two or thee disappointing results I have tried here but you

0:39:36 > 0:39:39cannot argue with that surely? Look, they are a very good side and

0:39:39 > 0:39:43coming very well. Improving all the time with their physical side. That

0:39:43 > 0:39:48is the sort of score line on him with the sloppyness we had in the

0:39:48 > 0:39:52first half it was really satisfying. Obviously the score line we are not

0:39:52 > 0:40:01happy with because towards the end a few defensive error was the ball

0:40:01 > 0:40:08for us. It is definitely not what we want to give up easy point. Stop

0:40:08 > 0:40:18making those errors and we will not give way to the tries. A quick word

0:40:18 > 0:40:19

0:40:19 > 0:40:23on Rowland Ogarra? He is such an example for everyone. You can have

0:40:23 > 0:40:26all the attitude in the world but you need the attitude. That is

0:40:26 > 0:40:30though table looks midway through the championship because we have

0:40:30 > 0:40:33the outstanding Ireland match to come next weekend but it means as

0:40:33 > 0:40:36things stand we are on course possibly for a grand slam decider

0:40:37 > 0:40:41between Wales and France or maybe a wooden spoon decider as well

0:40:41 > 0:40:48between Scotland and Italy on the final weekend. We might as well

0:40:48 > 0:40:52start with you Andy Nicole and Jeremy Guscat. The not a hugely

0:40:52 > 0:40:57convincing win? No, a very poor game for the French even if we

0:40:57 > 0:41:01manage to win. We were very passive in the first half. We missed a lot

0:41:01 > 0:41:06of tackles and we were not really good in the line-outs we lost many

0:41:06 > 0:41:09balls. I think Scottish started with a lot more passion than what

0:41:10 > 0:41:14we did but finally in the second half we turned over and we managed

0:41:14 > 0:41:22to come back. From a Scotish perspective? Another, another,

0:41:22 > 0:41:24another failed frustration. Never easy in Scotland. But again there

0:41:24 > 0:41:33are more good things and encouragement. Sarah Stewart Hogg

0:41:33 > 0:41:35is a real find, a really talented kid. His t try and looks

0:41:36 > 0:41:39electricity anywhere near the ball but still not really getting from.

0:41:39 > 0:41:44There is no shame for France. France is a good side but Scotland

0:41:44 > 0:41:47have just about got there but not quite. You reason couraged and from

0:41:47 > 0:41:52a English perspective you are very encouraged by what happened

0:41:52 > 0:41:56yesterday? Yes, a wonderful game of rugby to be honest. I did not think

0:41:56 > 0:42:00it would happen but Lancaster said that is what wanted his site to do.

0:42:00 > 0:42:04He produced it. There is a great defensive effort which take as good

0:42:04 > 0:42:08mind-set. You have to be committed. Against that three-quarter line of

0:42:09 > 0:42:11Wales which is determined to bash down the fortress at Twickenham.

0:42:11 > 0:42:17They held firm, took their opportunities and maybe the one at

0:42:17 > 0:42:21the end did he, did he not? The referee decided no, so there will

0:42:21 > 0:42:31be it but there can be no shame in that performance. I think they look

0:42:31 > 0:42:34

0:42:34 > 0:42:39to Paris thinking they have every chance of winning. Maybe a France-

0:42:39 > 0:42:42England showdown but how confident are you? I think we can play better

0:42:42 > 0:42:47than today. I think we need to have the ball in hand the create

0:42:47 > 0:42:51opportunity. At the moment we rely too much on turnovers and walking

0:42:51 > 0:42:55together during the three weeks now will by a lot of confidence into

0:42:55 > 0:43:00the team. OK. At this stage half way through the championship the

0:43:00 > 0:43:06winners of this year's RBS Six Nations is Wales. Yes, Wales!

0:43:06 > 0:43:13have to say France. (LAUGHTER) luck to Wales. You do not believe

0:43:13 > 0:43:16it? France v Ireland next weekend the outstanding game from a few

0:43:17 > 0:43:21weeks ago thanks to the Arctic conditions in France. So we hope it

0:43:21 > 0:43:23will be balmy sunshine and we will have a great weekend. See you then.
