:05:21. > :05:28.Williams. Great to have you here working for the BBC. Was a strange
:05:28. > :05:33.not heading for the home dressing room? Now there than here, I can
:05:33. > :05:39.see those guys warming up, I know where only to be myself, but it is
:05:39. > :05:46.a fantastic atmosphere. It is a big blow, losing Sam Warburton. Yes, an
:05:46. > :05:56.important player, like some, it is difficult. It would have been a
:05:56. > :06:00.perfect opportunity for them, but now we have Aaron Shingler coming
:06:00. > :06:06.in and he will be looking forward to it. A big pressure on Andy
:06:06. > :06:10.Robinson, Scotland not having had a victory here since 2002. Year
:06:10. > :06:15.Scotland need to be able to score tries. Lots of the play against
:06:15. > :06:19.England last week, on reflection, I was very disappointed, they played
:06:19. > :06:29.a lot of good rugby and that they can convert that into tries,
:06:29. > :06:30.
:06:30. > :06:35.Scotland can be will stock message from the Wales cap -- the message
:06:35. > :06:40.from the Wales camp has been, no complacency. Yes, we should a loss
:06:40. > :06:46.there two years ago, here, but the problem Scotland have is that they
:06:46. > :06:51.cannot score, so if they do, they will get a lot of confidence. It is
:06:51. > :06:56.about managing expectation. Everybody expects Wales to win. But
:06:56. > :07:02.the Scottish defence is good. If they can kick penalties, it does
:07:02. > :07:06.not make any difference. Andy Robinson looks remarkably focused.
:07:06. > :07:10.He is a very tense man. He is putting After what happened last
:07:10. > :07:14.week. Scotland was excited about what could happen last week and
:07:14. > :07:19.then it did not happen in the game. So these guys behind us are very
:07:19. > :07:24.determined to get the championships of land running. We have a reminder
:07:24. > :07:32.of what happened yesterday in the Six Nations. England dug deep to
:07:32. > :07:37.beat Italy in Rome. Two tries from Giovanbattista Venditti, gave
:07:37. > :07:43.England -- Italy a 15-6 lead. Both tries coming from simple England
:07:43. > :07:51.mistakes. And the crowd in Rome were hoping for another Big Six
:07:51. > :07:54.Nations upset. But hopes of a first victory over England were dashed by
:07:54. > :07:59.a second charge down try from Charlie Hodgson in two weeks,
:07:59. > :08:04.putting pressure on the kicker and announced -- impeccable kicking
:08:04. > :08:13.display from one Farrell, five out of five or that young man. And
:08:13. > :08:20.Italy could have won it, but the last kick went astray. Then, on to
:08:20. > :08:29.Paris. Huge disappointment. France against Ireland was postponed
:08:29. > :08:32.because of a freezing pitch. 80,000 fans in the stadium, booed as they
:08:32. > :08:37.were told the news. The freezing temperatures enough to make your
:08:37. > :08:45.eyes water. Players chatting on the pitch as the fans filed out into
:08:45. > :08:50.the Paris night feeling very disappointed. This is how the Six
:08:50. > :08:54.Nations table stands. England leading after two victories out of
:08:54. > :08:58.two. France and Ireland will be consulted over the next 24 hours
:08:58. > :09:05.and we will have some decision. It may be next weekend, or on March
:09:05. > :09:10.3rd, when that game will be played. You're back, Jonathan, how are you
:09:10. > :09:14.feeling? I am OK. It was a complete shambles last night, to be honest.
:09:14. > :09:19.There was a lot of pressure on the referee. He could have made a
:09:19. > :09:23.decision on Wednesday but a lot of the French have travelled up from
:09:23. > :09:28.the South West as well. It was a nightmare, but it was absolutely
:09:28. > :09:34.freezing. But players' safety was first and foremost. You look cold,
:09:34. > :09:39.I have to say. Someone said on Tuesday that the match could have
:09:39. > :09:44.been postponed. It was minus Mike two for the game last week and it
:09:44. > :09:47.was a to get worse. There was a lot of pressure on the referee. He
:09:47. > :09:54.could only have there will be of the players at the heart of his
:09:54. > :09:57.decision-making process. He cannot account for the travelling fans.
:09:57. > :10:01.Clearly he was unhappy with parts of the pitch. And that it was too
:10:01. > :10:06.hard, then it was the right decision. He but with all those
:10:06. > :10:11.people travelling, there should have been an hourly decision. If
:10:11. > :10:14.they do not play next week and play in the second break on the 3rd
:10:14. > :10:20.March, France will have four games back-to-back, Scotland are we on a
:10:21. > :10:26.Sunday, then obviously that Ireland game and then England and then for
:10:27. > :10:32.Wales, that is a hard run. There is a big game, Stade de France against
:10:32. > :10:39.Toulon, a complete sell-out, next weekend, so that is going to be a
:10:39. > :10:45.problem. England show some courage yesterday, Shane Williams. The S,
:10:45. > :10:49.to come back down -- to come back from those two eyes down, to win
:10:49. > :10:54.that game, England have won twice on the road and they have not shown
:10:54. > :10:57.anything about what they can do. It is going to be a tough as next week,
:10:57. > :11:03.the don't know what we're going to be up against but I am sure that we
:11:03. > :11:13.can play a lot better, to be honest. Only one place to start as we look
:11:13. > :11:13.
:11:13. > :11:23.ahead, George North is big news in Wales. A big man, a strong man,
:11:23. > :11:24.
:11:24. > :11:30.How did you get into rugby? brother went off to the club ahead
:11:30. > :11:37.of me when he was under and came back ranting and raving about it.
:11:37. > :11:41.So I went down and joined in. And have never really looked back. I
:11:41. > :11:46.started in the back row. I started at six or seven. Then I just grew a
:11:46. > :11:52.bit too big and got a bit faster and had a couple of injuries and I
:11:52. > :12:02.thought, I don't want to get my face smashed in Mike every week, so
:12:02. > :12:05.
:12:05. > :12:10.just anywhere, on the park, just to get gain time. -- game time. How do
:12:10. > :12:15.you cope with the adulation and the expectation? A try not to think
:12:15. > :12:20.about that too much. If you think about other things you lose focus
:12:20. > :12:24.on what you're doing and why you are there. Wales has a small
:12:24. > :12:34.country and we are so passionate about rugby, it is bound to happen.
:12:34. > :12:39.
:12:39. > :12:44.You just have got to try and ignore The first game of the Six Nations
:12:44. > :12:51.is always going to be a big one. There was a few things that did not
:12:51. > :12:55.go quite to plan. A couple of things I did not expect, personally.
:12:55. > :13:05.With that instinctive nest of that pass, did you know Jonathan was
:13:05. > :13:05.
:13:05. > :13:15.going to be there? I cannot claim that, really! He into the 22...
:13:15. > :13:25.Davies. And Davies has scored for Wales. To come away with a victory
:13:25. > :13:26.
:13:26. > :13:31.like that, last minute, slotting up. We left it a bit close. What did
:13:31. > :13:39.you think about the couple of goals missed in the World Cup? I am not
:13:39. > :13:47.sure that I would be that: that situation. -- cool in that
:13:47. > :13:51.situation. Totally different game this weekend against Scotland.
:13:51. > :13:56.Scotland will be a different challenge. They have got some great,
:13:56. > :14:01.physical backs. Ross Evans is as quick as anything. We have got to
:14:01. > :14:06.just play her game. And just focus on the good points. Looking for to
:14:06. > :14:16.going back to the Millennium Stadium? Yes, to have everyone
:14:16. > :14:25.
:14:25. > :14:35.screaming, everyone so close. When He is a very big lad. Quite a
:14:35. > :14:42.unique talent. I mean this with respect, he is a freak of nature.
:14:42. > :14:49.He is fast, strong, reads the game very well. Jonathan, you went to
:14:49. > :14:55.see him in the week. The seems remarkably grounded. Very much so.
:14:55. > :15:01.He just enjoys playing his rugby. They have a great team spirit.
:15:01. > :15:06.They're just enjoying what they're doing. The nightmare for Scottish
:15:06. > :15:13.defenders today is not just George North, but Jamie Roberts and Alex
:15:13. > :15:23.Cuthbert. Yes, all of them. The defenders might be attracted to
:15:23. > :15:29.
:15:29. > :15:39.George North, which will make space This is a massive Welsh back line.
:15:39. > :15:44.They are just future. They would use that physicality to run hard.
:15:44. > :15:53.Scotland need to run hard and run straight. Rhys Priestland has got
:15:53. > :15:59.great awareness, great game management. The other big talking
:15:59. > :16:05.point has been Bradley Davies. Justified, a seven-week ban?
:16:05. > :16:13.think so, to be fair. I think he would put his hand up and say he
:16:13. > :16:18.was a silly boy. Bradley Noci -- Bradley knows he has made a mistake.
:16:18. > :16:28.He was having such a great game as well, but as soon as we saw what we
:16:28. > :16:29.
:16:29. > :16:37.You might be having to make a late change because of Sam Warburton?
:16:37. > :16:43.Yes, we have had to replace him. What was the injury? He has failed
:16:43. > :16:49.a fitness test. We knew he was going to struggle. We have replaced
:16:49. > :16:54.him. Is it something you have prepare for? We wouldn't have done
:16:54. > :17:04.our job properly if we had not prepared within this week, with his
:17:04. > :17:06.
:17:06. > :17:13.replacement. It is not a position to replacement is familiar with.
:17:13. > :17:22.Are you confident? He has played there before. He is fit, has played
:17:22. > :17:27.the seven circuit. To win your first cap in front of 75,000 people,
:17:27. > :17:33.filling the boots of Sam Warburton will be issued occasion for him.
:17:33. > :17:40.You had a great win in Dublin, but you said afterwards that your only
:17:40. > :17:46.70 % there. What is the extra 30 %? I am not sure yet! We could have
:17:46. > :17:51.improved on last week. We created chances that we did not finish off.
:17:51. > :17:57.They were a few penalties and the yellow card was very costly. Today
:17:57. > :18:07.is about being a bit more clinical. I think Scotland will be a lot
:18:07. > :18:07.
:18:07. > :18:11.harder than people might think. it is a huge gay. What is Warren
:18:11. > :18:17.Gatland like 10 minutes before kick-off? He is a very cool
:18:17. > :18:24.character. He will remind the boys had badly we started last year
:18:24. > :18:29.against Scotland and how well they started. He will tell the guys just
:18:30. > :18:35.to play their mutual game, do the basics well and start with a bang.
:18:35. > :18:41.One man not in this gone inside today is Dan Parks, retiring after
:18:41. > :18:48.67 caps. Dan Parks on the sidelines with us
:18:48. > :18:56.today. Why the decision to retire from international rugby? I had
:18:56. > :19:00.spoken to the coaching staff before the tournament. With an injury to
:19:00. > :19:05.Rory Jackson I thought I could maybe get a couple more games, but
:19:05. > :19:14.with that defeat last week it but it was a great time to the say
:19:14. > :19:17.goodbye. How well Greig Laidlaw get the back line firing today? It has
:19:17. > :19:22.been a problem scoring tries. We had eight clear line breaks last
:19:22. > :19:28.week and couldn't convert one of them. We are creating the
:19:28. > :19:32.opportunities, we just need to finish them off. Greek Laidlaw has
:19:32. > :19:41.only been in this system at a short time, but he has done fantastically
:19:41. > :19:49.well at Edinburgh. If we can gets moving forward, Greig Laidlaw can
:19:49. > :19:55.do well. What I am most depressed - - most impressed about the way
:19:55. > :20:00.Wales play is how they can get their backs working together. Use
:20:00. > :20:05.all the tries they scored last week, very skilful tries. George North
:20:05. > :20:09.through the middle was a fantastic try he set up for Jonathan Davies.
:20:09. > :20:19.It will be tough for us, but if we can maintain our go forward up
:20:19. > :20:20.
:20:20. > :20:30.front we can take those chances. Still, a big moment for a Greek
:20:30. > :20:32.
:20:32. > :20:39.Laidlaw. Can he open up this defence? -- Greig Laidlaw. He is a
:20:39. > :20:44.converted scrum-half. He will have a real go at it today. He is a
:20:44. > :20:52.bubbly, confident young man. The whole of Scotland is hoping that he
:20:52. > :20:57.can be the catalyst for change. Dan Parks, I hope he has not remembered
:20:58. > :21:00.for his game last week. He has served his country with great
:21:00. > :21:10.dignity and pride and should be remembered for all his very good
:21:10. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :21:23.games. Let's now have a look at the ravaging David Denton. Here he goes,
:21:23. > :21:27.charging on! Jonah Lomu. This speed and power that he played with the
:21:27. > :21:37.something I would like to emulate. I went through a stage of wearing
:21:37. > :21:39.
:21:39. > :21:43.the same under way under match day -- under where, but not any more.
:21:43. > :21:50.Las Vegas is by favoured destination. It is an incredible
:21:50. > :22:00.place. It I am a pretty lazy guy. The odd game of golf, not that I am
:22:00. > :22:02.
:22:02. > :22:12.very good. Lasagne. It is pretty fun! Getting my first cap was very
:22:12. > :22:14.
:22:14. > :22:18.special. Bubbled tea is the most used at the moment. I will have to
:22:18. > :22:25.arrange a new one at the boys because my self proclaimed
:22:25. > :22:32.nicknames aren't catching on! It was his ball-carrying ability
:22:32. > :22:42.last week that made a good impact. Him and Ross Rennie is a good
:22:42. > :22:44.
:22:44. > :22:52.combination. He said he is looking forward to
:22:52. > :22:57.taking on Toby Faletau today. is a good match-up, to be honest.
:22:57. > :23:06.Dan Lydiate is back and he tackles very low, and the Scottish guys are
:23:06. > :23:11.very tall. Why can't Scotland scored tries? It would be great to
:23:11. > :23:19.have some be like Shane Williams in the back line! It is not just one
:23:19. > :23:23.individual. We're hoping that Greig Laidlaw could be the difference.
:23:23. > :23:28.Sheehan scored a lot of tries for Wales, but it was all collective.
:23:28. > :23:33.Scotland need to get that final pass. We saw that three times last
:23:33. > :23:39.week. They had eight clean breaks in couldn't convert one. It is also
:23:39. > :23:44.about confidence, isn't it? It is. Scotland have not scored a try for
:23:44. > :23:48.a long, long time and that will get in their mind. They have got to
:23:48. > :23:57.keep going forward. They are breaking tackles and breaking the
:23:57. > :24:04.line, it is just that last pass. Let's hear from Andy Robinson.
:24:04. > :24:10.A couple of changes. Greig Laidlaw at Number Ten. Wedded to bring him
:24:10. > :24:15.in? He had a good last 20 minutes in the game against England, showed
:24:15. > :24:21.a lot of composure. We needed to bring a more attacking game coming
:24:21. > :24:26.here. This is a fantastic stadium. You haven't scored a try for four
:24:26. > :24:35.matches, can make the difference? It is not just about Greig Laidlaw
:24:35. > :24:40.all. There are 14 other players who need to be working hard. We need to
:24:40. > :24:45.take opportunities. What did you make of Wales last week? They had a
:24:45. > :24:51.very good winner. They were able to hold out against the pressure for
:24:51. > :24:56.the last five minutes. The way they played in their last five minutes
:24:56. > :25:02.to control the ball as they did to get that penalty was exceptional.
:25:02. > :25:09.We know there will be under pressure defensively. It is vital
:25:09. > :25:19.that we get off the line and put in some big hits. A special guest!
:25:19. > :25:21.
:25:21. > :25:26.There is John Inverdale. It has been interesting list and
:25:26. > :25:31.Andy Robinson all week. Saying that they are not under pressure today
:25:31. > :25:37.and it will just try to make chances. They have no fear coming
:25:37. > :25:43.to the Millennium Stadium. Two years ago they almost played wills
:25:43. > :25:50.of the park at times. Scotland have no fear about coming here. Last
:25:50. > :25:56.week there was a lot of expectation. These boys have a great opportunity
:25:56. > :26:04.to put some pride back into the Scottish jersey. We also talked
:26:04. > :26:08.about coping with the expectation of this massive crowd. Everybody
:26:08. > :26:18.expects Wales to win this game comfortably, and Scotland have
:26:18. > :26:20.
:26:20. > :26:27.nothing to lose. Scotland have just got to come here and play. Here
:26:27. > :26:37.come Wales. The memorable game in 2010, talking us through that day,

:52:31. > :52:39.the line, putting pressure on them. They get up early and close the
:52:40. > :52:43.line. Again, this is the Achilles heel. It was the one area of their
:52:43. > :52:48.game that did not work at all last week in Dublin, and that seems to

:56:33. > :56:39.for the advantage and Scotland have a good chance to score the first

:56:52. > :57:00.that rock. Again, a great angle. Unfortunately, no support again.
:57:00. > :57:06.Greig Laidlaw gets to him, but there is no line break. You can see

:57:18. > :57:25.for most of the opening quarter, but this is a good chance to take
:57:25. > :57:30.the lead. Greig Laidlaw does just that and Scotland go in front of
:57:30. > :57:35.the Millennium Stadium. That is what they have to do. When they get
:57:35. > :57:40.into the red zone, come away with some points, immaterial if it is a
:57:40. > :57:50.try or not they just need to get the scoreboard ticking over. You

:58:10. > :58:17.don't need to score tries to win Scotland because of a little knock-

:59:56. > :00:20.
:00:20. > :00:29.bit too far again. Alex Cuthbert has been very impressive so far.
:00:29. > :00:39.Very good play by Aaron Shingler. Quickly-taken by Mike Phillips.
:00:39. > :01:06.
:01:06. > :01:13.They have got numbers on the right the wing. Scotland will have the
:01:13. > :01:22.scrum when Wales were threatening. Good change of tactics, just taking
:01:22. > :01:27.it up the middle. Someone has dislocated a finger on the far side.
:01:27. > :01:32.Interesting, the talk about George North before the game, but Cuthbert
:01:32. > :01:39.has had a very impressive opening. He has played a lot of rugby sevens
:01:39. > :01:49.and he likes the broken field running. Likes to size UP against

:02:06. > :02:13.and take them on. -- size up, who Williams. A very impressive start.
:02:13. > :02:17.Thus, last week he would have been disappointed, but he has had two

:04:23. > :04:30.Outrage! Now playing with Bayonne would take the kicks. And he has.
:04:30. > :04:37.He kicked so well with that massive pressure kick against Ireland. They

:17:51. > :18:01.Scotland lacking the composure to get over the try-line. At one stage
:18:01. > :18:05.during that's, Wills had the Lions share of possession. Let's get the
:18:05. > :18:14.view of Dan Parks. There was a lot of concern over
:18:14. > :18:19.George North. Also about what was happening on the pitch for Wales
:18:19. > :18:24.fans. It is great if you're Scottish. Scotland were just
:18:24. > :18:28.building the momentum. It was just a shame that we fumbled at the last
:18:28. > :18:32.hurdle. Hopefully we will put on more of that pressure in the second
:18:32. > :18:41.half. Is there concerned that they have had pressure and not converted
:18:41. > :18:45.it? Yes. Scotland had its two chances, and we had two shots of
:18:45. > :18:51.penalties. That was a positive, but disappointing not to get over the
:18:51. > :18:59.line. Hopefully we can. Much of their approach be in the second
:18:59. > :19:03.half? We have got to keep burying what the Welsh defence is doing,
:19:03. > :19:13.not throwing the ball wide all the time. Peter have just got to make
:19:13. > :19:35.
:19:35. > :19:45.it difficult for them. -- we had you do not need to score tries to
:19:45. > :19:49.have excitement. Both defences have been very strong. They have both
:19:49. > :19:54.thrown everything at each other. Fitness in the second half will be
:19:54. > :20:03.a big factor. When you defend for a long period of time it will stick
:20:03. > :20:13.it out of you. You picked up on Alex Cuthbert. He got involved
:20:13. > :20:15.
:20:15. > :20:21.early on in the game with two good runs. He is looking for ball. There
:20:21. > :20:29.has been a lot of emphasis on George North, so he has been doing
:20:29. > :20:39.well. The back line has been potent. There has been a lot of broken
:20:39. > :20:40.
:20:41. > :20:46.field play. They had a few chances like this. Alex Cuthbert comes
:20:46. > :20:55.again of Leigh Halfpenny. He just looks up and sees it is a straight
:20:55. > :21:03.foot race. That is a great tackle by Chris Hass letter. Look at the
:21:03. > :21:09.power. Jim Hamilton comes in and that is a big hit. They are massive
:21:09. > :21:13.men. What Wales do very well is they filled the pitch, they get a
:21:14. > :21:21.winner on each side, which spreads the defence and makes the holes a
:21:21. > :21:27.little bit bigger, hence the bricks. They have got to keep doing that.
:21:27. > :21:35.Bad news for Warren Gatland. George North has gone off. He has twisted
:21:35. > :21:40.his ankle. Yes, you can see that. Even the Scottish fans will be
:21:40. > :21:47.disappointed. He is such an exciting player. Sometimes an
:21:47. > :21:56.injury like that can take a few weeks. He will spend time in the
:21:56. > :22:04.cry of therapy! Am sure he can't wait! He has done very well. Chris
:22:04. > :22:09.Cusiter is giving Greig Laidlaw some very clean ball. He missed his
:22:09. > :22:15.first kick, but the great thing about Greig Laidlaw is that it will
:22:15. > :22:23.not put him off his game. He has had the ball in his hands a lot.
:22:23. > :22:29.Scotland are obsessed about putting it in behind to David Denton. This
:22:29. > :22:33.seems to be good default play, to put it behind the runner. You can
:22:33. > :22:39.see here that Jonathan Davies just reads it so well. They did this all
:22:39. > :22:49.last week. There was a great opportunity for Scotland to exert
:22:49. > :22:50.
:22:50. > :22:59.real pressure but he missed touch. By and large, he has done OK. I
:22:59. > :23:04.don't think that his nerves missing that touch. We have all been
:23:04. > :23:10.impressed with the work that the Scottish back row is putting in.
:23:10. > :23:20.was always going to be a battle. They have worked their socks off.
:23:20. > :23:21.
:23:21. > :23:31.Richie Gray has a great talent that turning up in the right place.
:23:31. > :23:32.
:23:32. > :23:42.we stop this here, he is by himself, but the back row people are trying
:23:42. > :23:42.
:23:42. > :23:48.to get up to them. Scotland are not able to gets that final play. Ross
:23:48. > :23:54.Rennie has been outstanding, but Greig Laidlaw was the only player
:23:54. > :23:59.there in support. Ross Rennie is pretty quick. The whole pack are
:23:59. > :24:04.playing very, very well and exerting real pressure. What is
:24:04. > :24:10.happening to the Welsh line-out? We're under pressure there. I don't
:24:10. > :24:20.know much about line-outs, but that is either an overthrow or a bad
:24:20. > :24:24.throat. Richie Gray is almost coming across a little bit there.
:24:24. > :24:29.In both those examples, not a Welshman got off the pitch.
:24:29. > :24:33.Scotland do we do pits in on a lot of pressure or the call to not
:24:33. > :24:42.being made. Have wills been affected by the loss of Sam
:24:42. > :24:46.Warburton? It is never good to lose the captain just before the game. I
:24:46. > :24:53.think Aaron Shingler has done very well since he came on. He is
:24:53. > :24:58.getting the feel of the game. I think they are missing Sam
:24:58. > :25:03.Warburton addicts, not as many turnovers. It is nearly 400 minutes
:25:03. > :25:13.since Scotland have scored a try. They newly got over. I have really
:25:13. > :25:26.
:25:26. > :25:32.good last passage of play. Good recycling. Great offence thereby
:25:32. > :25:41.Leigh Halfpenny. But Scotland keep playing. They went Alderley up to
:25:41. > :25:47.the try-line, but Alan Jacobson, if he had gone over that ball and
:25:47. > :25:53.passed it out it was almost a guarantee drive. I think Rory
:25:53. > :25:57.Lamont was untouched there! The really just needed to keep hold of
:25:57. > :26:07.the ball that close to the line. To lose it back close to the line is
:26:07. > :26:12.
:26:12. > :26:22.criminal, really. Plenty of rugby for you this evening. Viewers in
:26:22. > :26:27.Wales have another programme at 10 o'clock on BBC Two. There are
:26:27. > :26:35.highlights of this weekend's game at 11:30pm. The race for the title
:26:35. > :26:39.is hotting up, and we have our own race that needs you.
:26:39. > :26:45.Mr O'Leary, which you like to do the Sport Relief mile with me?
:26:45. > :26:51.Sorry, I'm doing what somebody already. I have got the horse and
:26:51. > :27:01.everything. Horses, why didn't we think of that? We just wanted to be
:27:01. > :27:03.
:27:03. > :27:13.seen differently. Sorry, I was told yesterday. You will? Brilliant!
:27:13. > :27:30.
:27:30. > :27:40.am indeed. I think the biggest thing for me at the minute is the
:27:40. > :27:41.
:27:41. > :27:45.line-out. In Dublin we scored two tries off the top all -- the top
:27:45. > :27:50.ball. You have got to take your hat off to the Scots because they are
:27:50. > :27:53.just going through fears after fears after fees. You have just got
:27:53. > :28:00.to worry that the Welsh boys are going to tire in the last 10
:28:00. > :28:05.minutes. What have you made of the back-row battle? The referee is not
:28:05. > :28:13.giving that many turnovers at the break down area were penalties. We
:28:13. > :28:19.are disrupting their, but not winning clean ball. That Scottish
:28:19. > :28:23.unit is some unit! The longer the game goes on the more the back row
:28:23. > :28:28.will come into the game. Cannot the back row keep up the intensity?
:28:28. > :28:35.think they can. The Scottish play in the first half was good. I think
:28:35. > :28:39.they will be buoyant in the Changing Room at the minutes. I
:28:39. > :28:49.think they will need the bench, because they are exerting a lot of
:28:49. > :28:50.
:28:50. > :28:56.energy. I was chatting last Sunday and they were talking about the
:28:56. > :29:00.confidence in the Welsh side. They seem a bit jittery. They do seem a
:29:00. > :29:08.little bit nervous at the moment, but understandably with this
:29:08. > :29:13.Scottish side who have nothing to lose. The Scottish have disrupted
:29:13. > :29:16.everything and have not let us play. Hopefully we will see some more
:29:16. > :29:23.clean ball off their line-outs and we can get that back line running
:29:23. > :29:29.again. If Wales have been out in Poland for their brother calls
:29:29. > :29:38.training! I suppose that this will count. Definitely, especially when
:29:38. > :29:48.these teams have been going at it so hard. We are fits, but it will
:29:48. > :29:49.
:29:49. > :29:54.be a battle to keep that there is that in the second half.
:29:54. > :30:04.John Inverdale has just been shown on the giant screen. They are going
:30:04. > :30:05.
:30:05. > :30:11.to leave it up there until he waves. Looking at the scoreline, you might
:30:11. > :30:20.think this has been one of those games, but it hasn't. It might be
:30:20. > :30:26.she gets tired first. The tackle count is in Scotland's favour.
:30:26. > :30:35.Wales will tire. They have got to tidy up the line-out. They will
:30:35. > :30:38.lose momentum if the throes go astray. Also, for Scotland, and he
:30:39. > :30:42.highlighted putting the ball behind the back-row forwards. They have
:30:42. > :30:52.got to hold their depth a little bit and target Jonathan Davies and
:30:52. > :30:59.
:30:59. > :31:04.replacement for a Huw Bennett. Cusiter got a little click on that.
:31:04. > :31:13.Denton and has a to having a chat as the ball was an air. -- Benton
:31:13. > :31:23.and it was Cusiter. There has got to be a call, there. Consider
:31:23. > :31:24.
:31:24. > :31:33.touches it. -- Chris Cusiter touches it. Scotland, snoozing,
:31:34. > :31:43.straight after the break. Ian Evans takes it for Wales. What a chance
:31:43. > :31:53.they have here, in the second half. Carried by Ryan Jones, the captain.
:31:53. > :32:01.
:32:01. > :32:09.metres. We also have a chance. Jonathan Davies, so nearly through.
:32:09. > :32:12.-- Wales have a chance. They have got to go right now, because
:32:12. > :32:22.Strokosch is defending in the outside centre position and he is
:32:22. > :32:30.carrying a hand injury. Aaron Shingler is there. Scotland being
:32:30. > :32:36.squeezed. Right up against it, at the start of the second half.
:32:36. > :32:42.did cause. The space is there. Through for the try, and Cuthbert
:32:42. > :32:48.gets Wales off to the perfect start and the second half. This is all
:32:48. > :32:55.from the restart. The half-time second half kick-off goes into
:32:55. > :33:05.touch. They keep their patience. In League One by Cuthbert targets Road
:33:05. > :33:08.
:33:08. > :33:16.Laidlaw. Bus - a light run by Cuthbert. The Late, Late, Run,
:33:16. > :33:23.targeting Laidlaw, a big man on small man. Strokosch comes across,
:33:23. > :33:31.he goes, he has got to make that tackle. Unfortunately, watch it, to
:33:31. > :33:41.big, too strong. No extra man. Just the late ball. Laidlaw adrift so it
:33:41. > :33:42.
:33:42. > :33:48.wide. Laidlaw lacking a bit of poundage. Just bumped off,
:33:48. > :33:58.unfortunately. Not through lack of effort. Leigh Halfpenny, to add the
:33:58. > :34:07.
:34:07. > :34:14.the start of the second half for Wales. -- 7 point flier.
:34:14. > :34:21.mistakes. Just watch it. They have got the numbers. Just the missed
:34:21. > :34:31.tackle, unfortunately for Laidlaw. Scotland have been forced into a
:34:31. > :34:51.
:34:51. > :35:00.change. Strokosch was struggling. he will not stop playing, Laidlaw.
:35:00. > :35:10.He has got to shake it off and get on with the game. A again, the
:35:10. > :35:16.
:35:16. > :35:23.umbrella defence. Richie Gray, so discipline and not give away
:35:24. > :35:33.penalties. Again, the loose ball, another jazz for Wales, and
:35:33. > :35:43.Jonathan Davies looked to be taken down. -- another chance. That will
:35:43. > :35:47.
:35:47. > :35:53.be a penalty. Ronan Point has spotted it. -- Romain Poite. Three
:35:53. > :36:03.costly mistakes. It will definitely be a penalty. Will it be a yellow
:36:03. > :36:08.
:36:08. > :36:18.card? Tackling his opponent without the ball. 14, blue. Penalty and a
:36:18. > :36:24.
:36:24. > :36:34.yellow card. Where is the mark? OK, from there. 13 blue. That is Nick
:36:34. > :36:44.
:36:44. > :36:48.De Luca. He is going to have 10 Robinson. Scotland, down to 14 men
:36:48. > :36:58.for the next 10 minutes. Nick De Luca is off and Wales have the
:36:58. > :37:04.
:37:04. > :37:14.penalty. They will go for goal. Just watch. There is a kick.
:37:14. > :37:19.
:37:19. > :37:25.Jonathan Davies tackled, yellow that. It is a professional foul.
:37:25. > :37:35.Unfortunately, he has got 10 minutes. He does not agree. Three
:37:35. > :37:41.
:37:41. > :37:51.well and ended it so well and started the second half very poorly.
:37:51. > :37:58.
:37:58. > :38:07.And Leigh Halfpenny again has his still sails through. And Wales are
:38:07. > :38:14.built themselves a ten-point lead within six minutes of the restart.
:38:14. > :38:24.Now, score one will have to score tries to win this game. -- Scotland
:38:24. > :38:24.
:38:24. > :38:31.will have to score tries. Diego Dominguez used to do that regularly,
:38:31. > :38:41.but the kicks always went through. Scotland have given themselves a
:38:41. > :38:51.huge amount to do. And Wales No they are one man up, as well. --
:38:51. > :39:29.
:39:29. > :39:36.know. There is Barkley, the Why give a penalty away and give
:39:36. > :39:46.Scotland the ball? A little bit of confusion out wide, so it will come
:39:46. > :39:49.
:39:49. > :39:59.back for that penalty. I think that was Ken Owens. There is going to be
:39:59. > :40:08.
:40:08. > :40:18.a little chat between Romain Poite their feet in on the floor. Too
:40:18. > :40:46.
:40:46. > :40:49.up with rage. Laidlaw steps forward, and three points for Scotland which
:40:49. > :40:59.they will gleefully take as they are down to 14 men and back within
:40:59. > :41:02.seven points. Change coming was caught once. Mike Blair is going to
:41:02. > :41:12.come on for Chris Cusiter. That makes up the Edinburgh half-back
:41:12. > :41:13.
:41:13. > :41:23.partnership. Those changes he made against England picked up the pace.
:41:23. > :41:52.
:41:52. > :42:02.The ball out to Sean Lamont. And play for Scotland, at 19, says
:42:02. > :42:15.
:42:15. > :42:20.Gregory Townsend, before that, and sin-bin for Nick De Luca. Jamie
:42:20. > :42:25.Roberts on the charge, straight over the game line. Numbers now.
:42:25. > :42:33.Jonathan Davies with numbers arriving outside them. Wales,
:42:34. > :42:43.desperate to make this one man advantage pay. I thought I out and
:42:44. > :42:46.
:42:46. > :42:50.say, knock-on. -- heard him say. Great covering tackle by Rennie.
:42:50. > :43:00.That is brilliantly by the Scottish forward. It is out wide for Wales
:43:00. > :43:12.
:43:12. > :43:22.now. And that is on to Rhos. Great The offload went backwards. Numbers
:43:22. > :43:44.
:43:44. > :43:54.out wide quickly. It is at 2 Halfpenny, and he has try number
:43:54. > :43:57.
:43:57. > :44:07.two, for Wales! Wales have taken advantage. Just too much pace out
:44:07. > :44:13.wide. Kept their composure. Just wait it. Sup the defenders in
:44:13. > :44:20.around the ruck. They went wide. Rushing out. It is the pass, I get
:44:20. > :44:25.on the outside. Guess on the outside of Lee Jones. -- gets on
:44:25. > :44:30.the outside of Lee Jones. And then this happens. Lee Jones just gets
:44:30. > :44:37.caught, and Hogg has to come in. He is a natural finisher, Leigh
:44:37. > :44:42.Halfpenny. He stepped inside, you see. He's more at home on the wing.
:44:42. > :44:47.He has been shuffled their because of the injury to George North.
:44:47. > :44:54.Cuthbert, again, very influential in that try. He wrote the tackle,
:44:54. > :44:59.he went on the outside, he pulled Stuart Hogg in, and it was an easy
:44:59. > :45:09.finish for Leigh Halfpenny. He converts his own try, and Wales hit
:45:09. > :45:09.
:45:09. > :45:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 75 seconds
:45:56. > :46:01.taken since Scotland lost the get it away. Advantage to Wales.
:46:01. > :46:11.That could be another yellow card, unfortunately for Scotland. He came
:46:11. > :46:14.
:46:14. > :46:24.from an offside position. As it was two years ago, Scotland have two
:46:24. > :46:30.
:46:30. > :46:40.men in the sin-bin. The teals are up now. They will go for touch. I
:46:40. > :46:42.
:46:42. > :46:50.think she is going to go for touch. They have got to go for the kill,
:46:50. > :47:00.haven't they? Next to look it is just about ready to come back on,
:47:00. > :47:12.
:47:12. > :47:22.but Rory Lamont is on his way over been horrendous for Scotland.
:47:22. > :47:43.
:47:43. > :47:52.line-out is crucial. It is very with two men down. Shades of the
:47:52. > :47:58.end of the match a couple of years ago. Wales will have the scrum.
:47:58. > :48:04.This will be interesting. They have got a full complement of forwards,
:48:04. > :48:13.but what are they going to do, will they take one out? I don't think
:48:14. > :48:23.they will. There is the yellow card. No complaints, he has to go. It is
:48:24. > :48:48.
:48:48. > :48:58.a professional foul. That is his scenario for Scotland. This will be
:48:58. > :48:59.
:49:00. > :49:09.very difficult to defend. It is so difficult to defend. They have to
:49:10. > :49:11.
:49:11. > :49:18.score. Leigh Halfpenny has the try, his second, that there for Wales.
:49:18. > :49:28.They are cutting Scotland's apart again. How crucial yellow cards are
:49:28. > :49:30.
:49:30. > :49:40.in the professional game. I wonder if it would have been worth taking
:49:40. > :49:50.
:49:50. > :49:58.out a wing forward? The offload is crucial. Another try for Leigh
:49:58. > :50:08.Halfpenny. It would have been so easy to over run that, but he
:50:08. > :50:11.
:50:11. > :50:21.doesn't get in front of his man. minutes to go it was three points
:50:21. > :50:45.
:50:45. > :50:52.this match. Rory Lamont can only watch. Effectively, they are
:50:52. > :50:57.playing 20 minutes with only 14 men. There is a long way to go in the
:50:57. > :51:07.match as well, so Scotland have to show a bit of character here. They
:51:07. > :51:33.
:51:34. > :51:38.have got to keep the ball until Great chase by Alex Cuthbert.
:51:38. > :51:48.Scotland did very well there. I thought it was going to be a

:51:48. > :52:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 75 seconds
:52:50. > :52:56.Scottish penalty, so they have a brief respite. You have to take off
:52:56. > :53:00.your hat to the Scottish forwards. Let's go to Martyn Williams.

:53:10. > :53:24.
:53:24. > :53:34.ball. This was at the start of the second half. From here, we just

:54:27. > :54:29.
:54:29. > :54:39.The players are incensed. They had butchered an easy try. He says he
:54:39. > :54:41.
:54:41. > :54:51.knocked it on. Let's see. That is a tough one. Does he have control of

:57:28. > :57:33.Very good try! He just sneaked in there. You could see that he used
:57:33. > :57:39.to be a scrum-half. He saw the opportunity and just finished it
:57:39. > :57:46.off. They deserve that after their previous tried being disallowed.
:57:46. > :57:55.First try for Greig Laidlaw. They have created more with a man short.
:57:55. > :58:04.Off that is a try, it is on the line. That will give them
:58:04. > :58:14.confidence. Greig Laidlaw played scrum-half for most of his career
:58:14. > :58:23.
:58:23. > :58:30.and feels perfectly at home. Still 14 points adrift. That is the first
:58:30. > :58:37.try in five matches for Scotland as well. They have created more
:58:37. > :58:44.opportunities in the second half. Rory Lamont will be back on as well

:12:51. > :13:10.
:13:10. > :13:20.remaining in the match. But today maybe be on Scotland now, looking
:13:20. > :13:21.
:13:21. > :13:27.for their second try. -- beyond Scotland. Rennie has been
:13:27. > :13:33.impressive for Scotland. The Scottish forwards have been great.
:13:33. > :13:43.Still hanging on to that ball. Nick De Luca sends it back. Jacobsen,
:13:43. > :13:46.
:13:46. > :13:52.again, of lows to Rennie, and Ed Kalman loses it. -- offloads it.
:13:52. > :13:59.And ambition now from Wales, stepping into the open, and Davies
:13:59. > :14:05.in support with Leigh Halfpenny. It is still there for Wales. Up come
:14:05. > :14:11.matter within the Scottish 22. Great break. So the only a
:14:11. > :14:19.marvellous try, if he had looked outside. Good defensive play from
:14:19. > :14:24.Stuart Hogg. What a game this has been. Fantastic second half.
:14:24. > :14:32.pass is loose, and you can see that the players are out on their feet.
:14:32. > :14:38.They have given everything. The ball is slowed down to give the
:14:38. > :14:46.players have a breather, as much as anything else. Listen to the noise
:14:46. > :14:55.in the Millennium Stadium in these final moments. Scotland, again,
:14:56. > :15:05.David Denton. The result is not in doubt. But you can still enjoy the
:15:06. > :15:35.
:15:35. > :15:45.Beautifully placed. The man of the match his Dan Lydiate. He has been
:15:45. > :16:03.
:16:03. > :16:13.absolutely fantastic. All the Scotland, that some glimmers in
:16:13. > :16:13.
:16:13. > :16:21.there. In the second half, the Scottish pack has been brilliant.
:16:21. > :16:31.With two yellow cards, they were up against it. They have shown more
:16:31. > :16:31.
:16:31. > :17:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 75 seconds
:17:20. > :17:25.absorbing match. Wales won it in the second half. Wales have played
:17:25. > :17:34.wonderfully well. It has been a brilliant match. Great attacking
:17:34. > :17:42.play, great awareness of space by both sides. The yellow cards by
:17:42. > :17:47.Scotland, to professional fouls, and Wales went ahead. Scotland have
:17:47. > :17:52.played their part in this game. The attacking play of the Scottish
:17:52. > :17:57.backs will give a lot of confidence going into the next couple of games.
:17:57. > :18:02.Words of consolation always sound hollow to a beaten side, but there
:18:02. > :18:12.is certainly something there to look ahead with. Four wheels,
:18:12. > :18:15.
:18:15. > :18:25.another victory. -- for Wales. You can see the effort these players
:18:25. > :18:25.
:18:25. > :18:31.have put in. It was a great exhibition of running rugby. I
:18:31. > :18:39.could have given man of the match to a number of people, a lot of the
:18:39. > :18:46.Scottish forwards, Mike Blair did well. Let's hear from Dan Lydiate.
:18:46. > :18:50.Many congratulations. What was said at half-time to inspire that Welsh
:18:50. > :18:59.purple patch at the start of the second half? Just look after the
:18:59. > :19:03.ball, really. We started scoring points. Scotland came back into it.
:19:03. > :19:10.The first half was very tight. Touch and go. It shows what a
:19:10. > :19:18.quality team Scotland are. We are delighted with the winner. Two more
:19:18. > :19:24.yellow cards today. A crucial were they? They're always crucial.
:19:24. > :19:34.Everyone has to work on the discipline. Next the chance of the
:19:34. > :19:35.
:19:35. > :19:42.Triple Crown, are you confident? Yes, we look forward to it.
:19:42. > :19:52.Dan Lydiate played very well today. It sets things up beautifully for
:19:52. > :19:58.
:19:58. > :20:03.Twickenham. Shane Williams, Wales blitzed Scotland in the first 15
:20:03. > :20:08.minutes of the second half. yellow cards certainly doesn't help.
:20:08. > :20:17.They took their tries very well. They were very patient in their
:20:17. > :20:23.attack. Some nice tries in the end. Scotland had such a good first half.
:20:23. > :20:32.You can legislate for this. Chris Cusiter just get himself and all
:20:32. > :20:41.sorts of problems there. That is a terrible mistake for Scotland. This
:20:41. > :20:46.leads to the try. Just some good footwork here. That is the angle
:20:46. > :20:53.that Alex Cuthbert comes on. Greig Laidlaw has to make the tackle. You
:20:54. > :21:00.could see that there was about a five stone a difference. I thought
:21:00. > :21:10.Alex Cuthbert did really well there. He came from the right, to the left,
:21:10. > :21:13.
:21:13. > :21:18.and back on the right again. Jonathan Davies never had the ball
:21:18. > :21:28.in his hands, so why is Nick De Luca trying to tackle him? You will
:21:28. > :21:28.
:21:28. > :21:38.never get away with it. Leigh Halfpenny doesn't miss from there.
:21:38. > :21:41.
:21:41. > :21:50.He is a clinical finisher. He is playing well, full of confidence at
:21:50. > :21:57.the moment. The Millennium Stadium was rocking here today. It was a
:21:57. > :22:04.very complete second half performance by Wales. Absolutely.
:22:04. > :22:09.If anything, Scotland were on top at half-time. They kept the ball a
:22:09. > :22:15.lot better than they did in the second half. Warren Gatland has
:22:15. > :22:22.been speaking to the Welsh team this week about what he would do if
:22:22. > :22:27.they give away penalties. It really cost Scotland, the lack of numbers.
:22:27. > :22:37.That is purely down to numbers that allowed Leigh Halfpenny to get
:22:37. > :22:40.
:22:40. > :22:49.around Mike Phillips there. It has been a great testament to the
:22:49. > :22:56.athleticism of these players. Scotland got blitzed by 24 points
:22:56. > :23:00.in 15 minutes. Apart from that, Scotland were really competitive.
:23:00. > :23:10.They had some great passages of play, but they couldn't get back
:23:10. > :23:10.
:23:10. > :23:17.into the game. Stuart Hogg has a future in this game. He doors. He
:23:17. > :23:22.is very quick. She was very unlucky here. I don't think that was a
:23:22. > :23:32.knock-on. He lost control but regained it before it touched the
:23:32. > :23:37.
:23:37. > :23:44.ground. Greig Laidlaw, who has played a lot of his rugby at scrum-
:23:44. > :23:50.half got in there of the side. Scotland deserved more. I think
:23:50. > :23:55.Greig Laidlaw had a good start for Scotland. He made a few mistakes
:23:56. > :24:01.but he didn't let it affect him. I think you'll be quite happy.
:24:01. > :24:06.talked about Wales not happen that clinical edge that they have had,
:24:06. > :24:12.but in the second have it shows you how clinical they can be. They can
:24:12. > :24:18.be, especially in key areas. There were times we looked a bit edgy,
:24:18. > :24:24.but in the second half, I think because Scotland were down to 14
:24:24. > :24:31.men did give us a bit of confidence, and we scored the try to start its
:24:31. > :24:36.and the confidence rose. One of the tries came from a very solid Welsh
:24:36. > :24:46.line-out. That was one of the things that they were not doing
:24:46. > :24:47.
:24:47. > :24:52.well in the first half. Great credit to Scotland, I thought some
:24:52. > :25:00.of their players put in an enormous amount of work up front. Scotland
:25:00. > :25:05.have lost two games but they will take so much more, as will their
:25:05. > :25:15.supporters, it than we could take away from last week. At big day
:25:15. > :25:15.
:25:15. > :25:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 75 seconds
:25:59. > :26:09.11:30pm. We will stay here after What will Warren Gatland be saying
:26:09. > :26:17.tonight? He will be happy with the result. The ways in which the guys
:26:17. > :26:21.came out in the second half, he will be very pleased with that. To
:26:21. > :26:26.be fair to Scotland, they did come back into it and play some great
:26:26. > :26:30.rugby. You could see Ross Ford trying to galvanise the troops when
:26:30. > :26:35.they were down to 13 men, but it just shows you that you cannot make
:26:35. > :26:43.those elementary mistakes. You cant, especially against the side as good
:26:43. > :26:53.as Wales. They will be a big game in two weeks' time, but I think
:26:53. > :27:01.
:27:01. > :27:06.Wales will go to Twickenham and win. We're playing England at home, but
:27:06. > :27:12.we have a very confident team. It is an English side that had not
:27:12. > :27:18.shown much of the moments. What does Andy Robinson take out of
:27:18. > :27:25.today? He will take a lot. There was a for a pack that played
:27:25. > :27:29.outstandingly. There was a bit of belief in attack. It is only two
:27:29. > :27:39.wins in 12 games in the Six Nations for Andy Robinson, and that needs
:27:39. > :27:49.to improve. The Triple Crown is on? It is certainly on. There is a lot
:27:49. > :27:49.
:27:49. > :27:54.of confidence there. It is an English side that is not playing
:27:54. > :28:01.great rugby at the moment and we can play far better than we have
:28:01. > :28:05.shown already. Wales are playing well, not as well as they can do,
:28:05. > :28:12.and England are not playing well, solid think Wales will win. Thank
:28:12. > :28:17.you very much indeed. Please join us on the red button. Wales have
