:07:14. > :07:17.much emphasis is on it, though, it is still likely to go ahead. The big
:07:18. > :07:25.question is what the spiralling costs mean for a litigation, which
:07:26. > :07:28.in Swansea and the valleys is very important. There is a very important

:08:39. > :08:42.acceleration isn't as good, and they are much heavier. Therefore, there
:08:43. > :08:47.is a chance that if we do have these trains, the time to Swansea will be
:08:48. > :08:50.5 minutes more than it is now and we will not get the saving that was

:20:15. > :20:24.It's another big weekend of European Rugby for the regions.
:20:25. > :20:27.The Blues kicked things off at the Arms Park last night.
:20:28. > :20:31.A late try gave Harlequins a bonus point victory to severely damage
:20:32. > :20:35.The Dragons travel to Castre tomorrow,
:20:36. > :20:38.whilst Welsh lock Luke Charteris will start for Rasing against
:20:39. > :20:43.And after a win over Exeter on the opening weekend in Europe,
:20:44. > :20:46.The Ospreys face a stern test on Sunday at the home of last seasons
:20:47. > :20:57.They know how to win these types of games, but then again I think they
:20:58. > :21:01.will be relying heavily on their forwards to get them the pair that
:21:02. > :21:05.they need and then they will get their backs across the game line and
:21:06. > :21:08.they will try to pressurise us, put us into corners and then basically
:21:09. > :21:11.hopefully live off our mistakes, so again if we know that that is kind
:21:12. > :21:15.of how they're to go then we have just got to make sure we're accurate
:21:16. > :21:19.so as not to give them those opportunities.
:21:20. > :21:21.Staying with Rugby and the Sevens teams from Wales,
:21:22. > :21:24.England and Scotland have been training at the Millennium Stadium
:21:25. > :21:28.preparing for the World Series which begins in Dubai in a fortnight.
:21:29. > :21:33.It was also a chance for players to impress coaches who'll be
:21:34. > :21:36.in charge of the Great Britain Squad at the Olympics next summer.
:21:37. > :21:39.And it seems the door is very much open for the stars of the 15-man
:21:40. > :21:49.Training under one roof, but as three independent teams preparing
:21:50. > :21:55.That tournament will come to an end in London at the end of May,
:21:56. > :22:00.before the players unite under the GB banner, giving the Olympic
:22:01. > :22:18.squad less than a few months to prepare for the real gains.
:22:19. > :22:21.It puts the GB team at a distinct disadvantage,
:22:22. > :22:25.It is not ideal, particularly when the other nations are bringing
:22:26. > :22:27.in their world-class World Cup players that can play right
:22:28. > :22:31.The standout player, who has turned his sights solely to sevens,
:22:32. > :22:34.is the All Blacks centre and World Cup winner Sonny Bill Williams.
:22:35. > :22:37.He will play the whole sevens series with New Zealand, but how practical
:22:38. > :22:41.would it be for a star like George North to be released from club and
:22:42. > :22:47.If the desire is there and certainly the conversations with
:22:48. > :22:49.all the different home nations and with the respective coaches,
:22:50. > :22:52.the head coaches of the national teams, has been very positive.
:22:53. > :22:55.They will never want to hold anyone back from competing in the Olympics.
:22:56. > :22:58.If the desire is there, the mechanics of it we have still got to
:22:59. > :23:01.work through and that is something that I know the people above are
:23:02. > :23:04.working very hard on right now, but the desire is certainly there.
:23:05. > :23:07.The Welsh team came agonisingly close to a semifinal spot at
:23:08. > :23:10.These specialised sevens players from England, Scotland, and Wales
:23:11. > :23:13.will be the core of the GB squad, but there will be opportunities
:23:14. > :23:20.for a couple of world-class stars to make that transition.
:23:21. > :23:24.There will definitely have to be an agreed preparation period, but it
:23:25. > :23:28.is always tough to prove that as well and that is a difficult factor
:23:29. > :23:31.of when they get to prove their capability at the World Series or at
:23:32. > :23:34.the international sevens level, so those are discussions that are
:23:35. > :23:38.ongoing between the unions and the clubs.
:23:39. > :23:40.The final make-up of the sevens GB team is far from decided,
:23:41. > :23:43.but the door is open for those who have gold medal ambitions
:23:44. > :23:50.Swansea City and Wales full-back Neil Taylor has
:23:51. > :24:01.been named footballer of the year at the Asian Football awards.
:24:02. > :24:03.His club manager Garry Monk insists Saturday's game
:24:04. > :24:25.at home to Bournemouth won't "make or break" his future at the
:24:26. > :24:28.Cardiff City go to Derby tomorrow - Manager Russell Slade says he's
:24:29. > :24:30.confident of recruiting a striker before the emergency loan
:24:31. > :24:33.Also tomorrow Newport County host fellow League 2 strugglers Yeovil
:24:34. > :24:35.and Wrexham travel to Aldershot in the National League.
:24:36. > :24:37.We've looked championship and we've looked Premier League.
:24:38. > :24:40.We have a short list, obviously, but that list is not a long list
:24:41. > :24:44.in terms of an emergency long list, and then of course there is
:24:45. > :24:47.If we can find the right couple of players and get the support
:24:48. > :24:52.It could get a bit colder for the weekend fixtures. Now it is time for
:24:53. > :24:59.the forecast. I think the thermals will come
:25:00. > :25:01.in handy this weekend. Arctic winds are sweeping south
:25:02. > :25:04.bringing a big drop in temperature. This weekend the coldest
