On tonight's show: It's time, it's here. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Our guest, Jonathan Davies, shares his thoughts. | :00:22. | :00:35. | |
We catch up with the man who couldn't stop scoring | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
And we're on target with an Olympic hopeful. | :00:38. | :00:51. | |
I want to get a medal. It is one of the QA have not got in my | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
Just two more sleeps to go until Wales' Six Nations gets | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
Recent matches between Wales and Ireland have been, well, | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
a little nerve wracking - so the question for | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
So, here we are a game. The build-up to the opening weekend of the Six | :01:08. | :01:27. | |
Nations. At home, in the pub, when you watch television, you will hear | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
a lot of these phrases. Momentum is key. We got to get off to a flyer. | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
We just can't afford to lose that first game. And basically, everyone | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
is beating one emotion. And that is hope. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
It is a really open competition I think. We bowl gone to a couple of | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
new coaches and the World Cup is over. Three or four teams came out I | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
think so hopefully we are in the mix. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Cast your minds back to the World Cup. Apart from one or two long-term | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
lay-offs, he has more or less got a full squad. | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
The millionaire Richie does help in terms of putting things together. I | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
just hope it does give us a slight advantage to go into the Six | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Nations. For Wales, things may be calm. Not | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
so for Ireland. They got hammered by Argentina in the World Cup. Oquendo, | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
the captain, has retired. And if you look at the injury list. It is | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
extensive. They may be going for a third successive title but Ireland | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
are certainly in transition. The problem is that trophy can be | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
gone after one game. We can be scrambling to get some sort of | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
decent placement after Round 1. Never one to shy away from making it | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
the big calls. And it comes to Sunday's selection there is no room | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
for Gethin Jenkins. And no space on the back three for Liam Williams. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
There is a selection for Rob Evans as a prop. | :03:21. | :03:31. | |
What he has achieved on the field at the moment... He has matured well | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
and he was seized the opportunity. We know what a wonderfully deliver | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
wonderful rugby player he is. Hopefully the weather conditions | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
might allow us to play a bit of rugby. Gethin knows he will not get | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
through, how do we manage that process where we bring someone on as | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
a replacement and the reserve potential exit strategy as well? | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
Late penalties. And Wales have won in Ireland. | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
Controversial tries. Wales have scored and Ireland are rushing up to | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
the referee. And heroic defence. | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
Recent matches between these two sides have been slipped by the | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
smallest of margins and nothing suggests that Sunday will be any | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
different. We can guarantee one thing. This one will be tense. | :04:27. | :04:36. | |
The Six Nations are upon us. Such an exciting time. Wales chances then. | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
What are the headlines for you? I think that the shock was the | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
proper getting out will stop Paul James has playing exceptionally | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
well. Rob Evans is in, looking towards the next World Cup. With the | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
safety blanket of Gethin on the bench. That was the big shock. The | :04:57. | :05:07. | |
other one is Tom James comes in on form, deserves his place, and | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
Cuthbert is trying to find his form. The full-back. That was the | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
interesting one because Liam Williams has played one game. So | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
neither of them are really match it, so to speak. But times have changed. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
They seem to pick on reputation. If they fit they are in. That maybe | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
shows that they're going to play a little bit wider. | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
Ireland, then. Injuries. Our baby? They will be | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
worried but it is a bit soon. The pressures of them because of the | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
injuries. But they will know the significance of this game. Whoever | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
wins this game will be... Do you really think how big this is? | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
Two big games. Scotland and England, and Ireland and Wales. If Wales win | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
that game. Three home games. Then they are in with a shout of the | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
championship at the end. And maybe a Grand Slam. That's how important | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
this game is. With Ireland, I think it is going to be... I don't | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
think... Pol O'Connor is a big mess. They have got injuries. They've got | :06:18. | :06:26. | |
enough cover to be a real threat to Wales. I don't think the injuries | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
will affect the Irish performance. Think it is going to be one hell of | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
a game. We're back for predictions very | :06:34. | :06:34. | |
shortly. Thank you. For many teams in the Premier | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
League, goals can be hard But a few years ago | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Swansea City had a striker Since then, that man has left | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
the club and battled Come to northern Spain to an old | :06:43. | :07:26. | |
industrial town. A far cry from the glitz of the Premier League. It is | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
also the home of a fourth division football team, where Michu is trying | :07:30. | :07:41. | |
to rebuild his career. I have come to meet the man who, two | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
seasons ago, was one of the most feared strikers in the Premier | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
League. Michu was the man at the moment. Playing for Spain before an | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
ankle injury brought it all to an end. | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
I can't remember when my last game without pain, so probably I will | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
have paid all my life but I can play. I cant live without football. | :08:07. | :08:32. | |
Three years ago it was a different story. He was scoring. | :08:33. | :08:44. | |
But then Swansea manager valued him at ?30 million. Not bad after the | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Swans had bought him for just ?2 million. | :08:49. | :08:58. | |
I was really happy there. Best of my life, my career. And also the crowd. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
I miss the team-mates and the city as well. | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
Did she wants to leave? Was that your choice? Yes, because | :09:07. | :09:16. | |
football is really difficult to play for the crowd without my best level. | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
Struggling for injuries, Michu had to impress a new manager. | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
How is that playing under him? Did you have a good relationship? | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
Yes. And with Jenkins? Yes. I want to | :09:30. | :09:39. | |
speak about him and he worked really good | :09:40. | :11:05. | |
Maybe when the season finishes might help first iPlayer bit. Back to the | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
Six Nations. What is your highlight? For me it was the first cap. Growing | :11:14. | :11:27. | |
up as a kid wanting to play for Wales then you your ambition. | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
Waiting to go out on the field the motion is amazing. All your friends | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
and family, the adrenaline, the cocktail of the motion is | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
unbelievable. Can you remember it? Yes. Standing there shaking like a | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
leaf and then running out and looking for my mum in the crowd and | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
then singing the anthem with my family and friends there. Then I | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
failed miserably to hold back the tears. Everyone that helped me along | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
my career was there to watch and it was an amazing feeling. | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
She was one of the first Welsh sport stars to book her place | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
at the Olympics this summer, but we're not talking swimming, | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
athletics or cycling here - we're talking shooting. | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
But what drives you to take up gun sports in the first place? | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
Ian Hunt went on a shoot with Elena Allen. | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
I'm going to the Olympics to compete in shooting. I was born in Moscow, | :12:32. | :12:46. | |
Russia. I been living in the UK for the last 25 years. I represented | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Wales in 2010 for the first time at the Commonwealth champion chips in | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
India and also I competed at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
2014. Is it a glamorous sport at all? | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
We're sat here and it is freezing cold, were sat outside a Portakabin. | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
It doesn't look glamorous. It's not very glamorous. It is not | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
very often I wear make up either. Especially for you guys. I'm not a | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
girly girl and I don't particularly enjoy make up shopping. I am more a | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
country girl so for me this is perfect. | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
I do Olympic shooting. It is quite a technical sport because we had to | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
shoot from a gun down position. We have not to three seconds delay and | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
when it could eventually comes out, you have to mount the gun and shoot | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
it from eight different stations. You know exactly where it is going | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
to come from. You don't know when it is going to come. And the difficulty | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
is that your gun is down on where the line is. The gun has to touch | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
the latter cannot be above it completely. The targets are fairly | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
fast so you don't have that much time. | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
Russian athletes accused of widespread cheating. | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
They could be banned. Amongst Russia's champions there were | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
cheese. Tonight the Company was kicked out of international | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
athletics in disgrace. You were born in Russia and grew up | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
there as how do you feel about this whole Russian doping scandal? | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
I think it is embarrassing and it is very disappointing. I think anyone | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
who does try to cheat should be punished. Severely punished. Is | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
going to be very sad for those sportsmen and sportswomen who didn't | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
do anything wrong but I going to be punished. I can sympathise. Being a | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
competitor myself. But, of course, I don't know. How do you deal with | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
that? It is not for me to decide. It is for other people to make those | :14:53. | :15:14. | |
decisions. There are number of Welsh sportsmen who are expected to do | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
very well. You are expected to be up there. No pressure. I would like to | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
win or get a medal. You are not going to take part, you're going | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
there to win. I just want to do my best. I want to make my husband and | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
my family proud and get the medal. It is one of the few that I do not | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
have in my collection. You have the World Championships and the | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
Commonwealth Games. I would like this one. | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
Back to the Six Nations, rugby's greatest championship. | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
Year in year out, it gets fans excited and even gets the juices | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
Ian Gough and Dafydd James share a tale or two from the past. | :15:57. | :16:13. | |
Ian Gough keeps his position in the second row for Wales. That the James | :16:14. | :16:23. | |
keeps his place on the right wing. An incredible atmosphere. I remember | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
the old Blancs Road, in the changing room the trains would make the | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
changing room rattled. There was a house on the corner. I have not been | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
very fortunate. We had some bad performances there. It is very | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
difficult when the Irish get the table top. They are a difficult team | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
to play against. However, historically Wales has won the same | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
number of games and drawn the same amount. A different stadium and | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
different atmosphere but it was fantastic. Winning the game helped. | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
Another moment of brilliance from Shane. What is your favourite -- who | :17:10. | :17:22. | |
is your favourite player? The most consistent player for me... I played | :17:23. | :17:32. | |
against him. In the first four or five minutes I had not even got my | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
warm up jacket not properly and figured out who had the jelly | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
babies. I was up against him and I was not prepared as well as the | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
first 15 had prepared. As for myself opposite him several times. If you | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
knew what I was thinking then he wouldn't run it me every time. If | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
you knew how scared I was seaward running me every time. Any moment in | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
the Six Nations the standout to you? In your career or any that you | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
watched? The special moments was when you want into the changing | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
rooms, when you get off the bus and the cameras are there, you're trying | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
to keep your focus that then you realise the magnitude of what you're | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
walking into. You walk into the changing room and you see your shirt | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
on the peg. I get response thinking about it. Millions of people want to | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
do this but only a small number again that opportunity. I used to | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
really enjoy grabbing the jersey. I used to sniff it and think that I | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
had at that. Little moments like that stand out to me. In 1999 we | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
went to France and we had not won there in a number of years and we | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
went there and Neil Jenkins gave me a white pass and I went into the | :19:00. | :19:10. | |
corner. It was an amazing game. My career highlight was the 2008 Grand | :19:11. | :19:23. | |
Slam decider against France. Those girls leading him onto the pitch and | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
the fireworks going off and then we won it, it epic. What matches really | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
spring to mind when you think of the Six Nations? Watching the last year, | :19:32. | :19:39. | |
I thought it was a fantastic tournament. The last day really | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
stood out. It epitomises the Six Nations campaign. It came down to | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
permit issues in the end. I was in Rome at the time. Wales cutlass | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
after 30 minutes and we'll not wild. -- cut loose. -- and we all went | :20:01. | :20:15. | |
wild. Then it was down to permit patients. Other games you could not | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
control. That builds up the euphoria in the air and the web 20 last | :20:20. | :20:29. | |
moments. That is the third try. It just engaged everybody across the | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
nations. What a tournament. Great to reminisce on some of the great | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
moments in wacky moments we have had across the years, and I'm looking | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
forward to catching up with you in Ireland. | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
They enjoyed that. They still have not grown up. We hope that they | :20:47. | :20:59. | |
never do. France versus Italy. Watch and hear? None. Italy performed | :21:00. | :21:09. | |
badly in the World Cup so I would be very surprised if they win any games | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
this year. France's interesting. How will France play? I think they will | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
be less structured and more dangerous and hopefully the flair of | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
the French will come back. It is a big game for England coming up. They | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
have picked a side to attack and to play-the-ball wide. It depends on | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
the conditions. If Scotland can get over the gain line and attack they | :21:45. | :21:54. | |
can pose a real threat. England are going to impress because of Eddie | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
Jones. I have a sneaky feeling that Scotland will win. The best game of | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
the weekend will be Ireland against Wales? It is a huge game. The | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
kicking game is going to be vital. Ireland will kick to the corner is. | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
-- to the corners. Neither side are scared because they play against | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
each other in the Pro12 and they are familiar with each other. They know | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
what they need to do and they know what the opposition is trying to do. | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
It is an intriguing game and a great game, but I feel that Wales, | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
considering perform in the World Cup and their defence, if they can build | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
on that attacking wise they will edge it. The championship is on. If | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
they win that game it will go down to the wire with Wales. Thank you | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
for joining us. Stay tuned for Scrum V Live - | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
Ireland U20 v Wales U20. That is coming up after this | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
programme. And a reminder that we will be | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
on at 7pm next Thursday, | :23:01. | :23:04. |
