:00:00. > :00:08.Welcome to Wales Today - our top stories: The Welsh NHS

:00:09. > :00:17.Tonight a war of words breaks out among Leave and Remain campaigners.

:00:18. > :00:21.Can we afford to build both the South Wales Metro

:00:22. > :00:30.Tonight the call to abandon the motorway upgrade around Newport.

:00:31. > :00:33.Ahead of their opening game in Euro 2016, the Wales football team

:00:34. > :00:39.The countdown well under way - just five days before the opening

:00:40. > :00:47.Also tonight: the mountain on fire - smoke making roads

:00:48. > :00:53.What caused this blaze near Penmaenmawr?

:00:54. > :00:58.And Swansea drivers would be the first in the UK -

:00:59. > :01:00.the pollution monitors which would redirect traffic

:01:01. > :01:22.The referendum campaign stepped up a gear today after Vote Leave

:01:23. > :01:25.campaigners claimed standards of care in the Welsh NHS would be

:01:26. > :01:33.put under huge strain by rising immigration if we remain in the EU.

:01:34. > :01:36.They say health services would need to find up to a quarter of a billion

:01:37. > :01:39.pounds extra every year to cope by 2030.

:01:40. > :01:42.The campaign group Wales Stronger in Europe has described the claims

:01:43. > :01:54.Here's our political editor Nick Servini.

:01:55. > :01:59.They are arguably the most sensitive and emotive subjects in the EU

:02:00. > :02:04.referendum debate, aggression and the knock-on effect it has on public

:02:05. > :02:07.services like the NHS. So unsurprisingly the claim and

:02:08. > :02:14.counterclaim about the impact of a Domain or Leave food today turned

:02:15. > :02:19.into a full-blown war of words. But leave has put together a range of

:02:20. > :02:21.forecasts for the result of net migration, the difference between

:02:22. > :02:27.the number of people arriving and leaving from the EU. It says if it

:02:28. > :02:32.continues at its present rate until 2030, overall EU net migration will

:02:33. > :02:35.be 60 5000. But the resource on upper end to the projections if a

:02:36. > :02:40.number of new countries like Turkey become part of the club. Then the

:02:41. > :02:47.estimate is that net migration will go to 130 1000. That is greater than

:02:48. > :02:51.the population of Vale of Glamorgan. On the basis of current spending, it

:02:52. > :02:58.is forecast that by 2030 the NHS will need ?246 million more every

:02:59. > :03:00.year to cope with the extra people. Project fear is the government

:03:01. > :03:04.coming up with scare stories that are unfounded about people losing

:03:05. > :03:09.their jobs, the pound collapsing and world War three. That is project

:03:10. > :03:12.fear. We're based these figures are reasonable estimate based on what

:03:13. > :03:16.happened when Eastern European countries came in. There will be a

:03:17. > :03:22.large movement of people coming from poorer countries to wealthier

:03:23. > :03:25.countries. The main campaigners have pointed to various recruitment

:03:26. > :03:29.drives across the EU by a number of Welsh health boards. They claim that

:03:30. > :03:35.migrants strengthen the NHS rather than put a strain on it, and have

:03:36. > :03:43.accused the Leave side of misleading people over 30's admission to the

:03:44. > :03:46.EU. We know that the pressure on the NHS comes from ill-health, it does

:03:47. > :03:51.not come from immigration. The NHS benefits from 10% of its doctors

:03:52. > :03:56.coming from other EU countries, one fifth of care workers coming from

:03:57. > :04:00.outside the EU. Let's look at the facts as they stand and not

:04:01. > :04:05.outlandish statistics designed to scare ahead of this referendum. The

:04:06. > :04:08.ability of the NHS to cope with immigration levels was always going

:04:09. > :04:12.to be hotly contested, and with two and a half weeks to go it has done

:04:13. > :04:12.just that at a crucial time in the campaign.

:04:13. > :04:16.Today was the day it got nasty, Nick?

:04:17. > :04:23.That's right. This debate has been poisonous in other parts of the UK,

:04:24. > :04:26.and there was a sense that the gloves came off today. I base that

:04:27. > :04:32.on the rhetoric and the kind of language you have there. David Davis

:04:33. > :04:34.said that if Turkey joins the UN in Wales net migration would sort of

:04:35. > :04:39.astronomical levels and pretty bluntly said that health services

:04:40. > :04:43.would struggle to cope. That prompted a strong response from Wail

:04:44. > :04:48.Stronger In Europe who said it was shameful for him to come out with

:04:49. > :04:53.language like that and saying it contributed nothing other than

:04:54. > :04:59.prejudice to the debate. This is strong stuff. This was a big day for

:05:00. > :05:07.Mike Ford Leave. Typically we have had the worrying on the economy and

:05:08. > :05:14.it is up to Vote Leave to trash it. For what it is worth, For Leave the

:05:15. > :05:19.it is going in their direction and they have the other side rattled.

:05:20. > :05:20.Whether it has traction a lot we will find out.

:05:21. > :05:25.But what are the facts - what's the truth behind

:05:26. > :05:35.There are strengths and weaknesses. On the Leave side they know that

:05:36. > :05:38.their projections are way above the official estimate. They also know

:05:39. > :05:42.that those official estimates have been consistently wrong in recent

:05:43. > :05:47.years and it means they can tap into this disillusionment and lack of

:05:48. > :05:52.confidence people have with official figures. On the Remain side they can

:05:53. > :05:57.tap into the economy, fears of an economic downturn if there is Brexit

:05:58. > :06:01.will affect tax revenues which means the NHS has less money to spend. So

:06:02. > :06:02.both sides are appealing to the arguments that they feel the

:06:03. > :06:07.strongest on. Nick, thanks. A man from Rhondda Cynon Taf has

:06:08. > :06:11.been jailed for four and half years for causing the deaths of three work

:06:12. > :06:13.colleagues through Stephen Parry Jenkins

:06:14. > :06:18.from Abercwmboi was driving a work van home on the M4 in June 2014,

:06:19. > :06:23.when he fell asleep at the wheel. Another person was

:06:24. > :06:26.seriously injured. Pembrokeshire-based Silcox Coach

:06:27. > :06:30.Company, which operates school transport as well as local bus

:06:31. > :06:33.services, has gone into administration with the loss

:06:34. > :06:37.of more than 40 jobs. Around 50 staff have been

:06:38. > :06:40.re-employed by Edwards Coaches, which have taken over

:06:41. > :06:42.the transport contracts. Silcox had been

:06:43. > :06:47.trading for 134 years. How do we transport people quickly

:06:48. > :06:50.across south Wales to grow One Labour AM has called

:06:51. > :06:57.for the ?500 million of borrowing allocated for the M4 relief road

:06:58. > :07:00.to be spent on public Jenny Rathbone says the so-called

:07:01. > :07:08.Metro project would be a far better use of public money,

:07:09. > :07:11.than extra miles of The Welsh Government says it

:07:12. > :07:16.will deliver both schemes, and they've been backed

:07:17. > :07:29.by business-group the CBI. It's a bold scheme ringing an

:07:30. > :07:33.integrated public transport system of trains, buses and light rail to

:07:34. > :07:37.tens of thousands of people across South Wales, enabling them to get

:07:38. > :07:42.quickly and efficiently to the capital for work and for leisure.

:07:43. > :07:45.But at a cost of ?2 billion it does not come cheap. And one Cardiff AM

:07:46. > :07:51.believes the government should divert funds from the proposed M4

:07:52. > :07:54.relief roads to help pay for it. The issue is whether we can afford both.

:07:55. > :08:00.I do not see the money on the table that is needed for the full metro

:08:01. > :08:05.proposal. And so I think the money would be better spent on the Metro,

:08:06. > :08:10.and then we can re-evaluate the congestion on the M4 in the light of

:08:11. > :08:13.those developments. The Metro plan is all about making public transport

:08:14. > :08:18.more attractive. At the moment, 200,000 people work in Cardiff,

:08:19. > :08:23.78,000 of them come from outside the area. Currently it is % of them

:08:24. > :08:26.travel by car. But even small changes to the rail infrastructure

:08:27. > :08:31.can have an impact. Around 24 trains come to and from the valleys into

:08:32. > :08:35.Queen Street every hour. But there was a bottleneck, that could be

:08:36. > :08:40.alleviated with investment, leaving a far more efficient rail service

:08:41. > :08:46.for passengers. And they know all about bottlenecks here on the M4.

:08:47. > :08:49.Four years ago the Prime Minister described it as a foot on the

:08:50. > :08:54.windpipe of the Welsh economy. The M4 relief road should help alleviate

:08:55. > :08:58.that, but can we afford both the Metro and the relief road? The Welsh

:08:59. > :09:02.government certainly think so. And that is a viewpoint shared by the

:09:03. > :09:07.CBI in Wales. They say the M4 serves two thirds of the Welsh population

:09:08. > :09:10.and two thirds of Welsh GDP. The Metro is all about communications

:09:11. > :09:14.within the region, but correcting the coast to the valleys, but the M4

:09:15. > :09:19.is about connecting to the outside world, to the UK single murky. And

:09:20. > :09:24.there is no point having those internal communications unless we

:09:25. > :09:28.can connect an export goods outside. But one leading transport expert

:09:29. > :09:35.disagrees and believes the Metro should take precedence. In some

:09:36. > :09:38.places and new transport system took 40% of the commuters away on the

:09:39. > :09:42.first day. The Metro will clearly have a much better effect in terms

:09:43. > :09:47.of the linkable out of their cars onto a really good first-class

:09:48. > :09:51.European public transport system. The Welsh government has been given

:09:52. > :09:56.powers to borrow 500 million pounds to fund the M4 relief road. But

:09:57. > :09:59.there is opposition in some quarters over what route it should follow.

:10:00. > :10:02.Supporters of the Metro believe that with a strong cross-party consensus

:10:03. > :10:05.Metro many more achievable and deliverable.

:10:06. > :10:08.The Wales football squad are in France ahead of their historic

:10:09. > :10:12.Manager Chris Coleman says his side may have been guilty

:10:13. > :10:15.of complacency after the 3-0 loss in Sweden yesterday.

:10:16. > :10:17.But he insists they can still produce something special.

:10:18. > :10:19.Wales will be based in Dinard throughout the tournament.

:10:20. > :10:22.Our reporter Iwan Griffiths is there for us tonight.

:10:23. > :10:32.And on a beautiful evening in Brittany, a warm welcome

:10:33. > :10:34.to the town that will home the Welsh Football squad

:10:35. > :10:37.for the next few weeks - and hopefully a little longer.

:10:38. > :10:40.The performance in Stockholm last night may have been underwhelming,

:10:41. > :10:43.but the squad now have this week together to prepare before

:10:44. > :10:46.they depart for Bordeaux on Friday for the opening game

:10:47. > :10:52.And here in Dinard they have been made to feel very welcome.

:10:53. > :11:02.There's certainly a Welsh feeling to this town these days.

:11:03. > :11:08.A little Welsh pocket in the corner of France. Here in Brittany there

:11:09. > :11:12.may be a cultural and linguistic link with Wales, but the locals in

:11:13. > :11:18.Dinard have gone the extra mile, warmly reaching out this summer to

:11:19. > :11:22.their Celtic cousins. I am happy that Wales are in Dinard, we have

:11:23. > :11:27.many flags to welcome them. The dragon flying in all corners. They

:11:28. > :11:31.have Gareth Bale and company in residence, and they are getting

:11:32. > :11:38.behind the team. I have got an eye on the French team, but I hope that

:11:39. > :11:43.Wales and France... In the final? In the final, that would be fine, and

:11:44. > :11:46.maybe more for Wales. For those from Wales here on holiday, Dinard has

:11:47. > :11:51.happened to be the ideal destination. Yes, it is good they

:11:52. > :11:55.are here after 58 years, and let's hope they take on the cup. It is a

:11:56. > :12:00.big ask, but we're Welsh, we can do anything. And possibly you will see

:12:01. > :12:04.the likes of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey taking a walk on the beach

:12:05. > :12:10.here? We like that. My wife would, she is after a toy boy. With a

:12:11. > :12:14.population of just over 10,000, Dinard's reputation as the can of

:12:15. > :12:19.the North has attracted a variety of stars. Lawrence of Arabia lived here

:12:20. > :12:26.as a child, Picasso painted here, and locals say that a's most famous

:12:27. > :12:31.film, Psycho, was based on a villa based in this very tiring. And now

:12:32. > :12:34.the stars of the Wales football team have been attracted to this

:12:35. > :12:38.picturesque part of France. Landing late last might be received a warm

:12:39. > :12:42.welcome to stop whisked away by police and security escorts to the

:12:43. > :12:46.resort that will be home for the next few weeks. A chance to relax

:12:47. > :12:52.after yesterday's tough friendly against Sweden. Losing 3-0 less than

:12:53. > :12:56.a week after the start of the tournament was less than courage.

:12:57. > :12:59.Wales may have been guilty of complacency, according to Chris

:13:00. > :13:06.Coleman, but he insists it will not undermine preparations. The only

:13:07. > :13:11.thing that will get as a result is us and us only. Concentrating on

:13:12. > :13:15.ourselves, in positive. We are faced with a huge challenge next weekend

:13:16. > :13:24.when all eyes will be on us. This week the manager will hope for good

:13:25. > :13:29.news on the three players' fitness who were absent last night. Now he

:13:30. > :13:31.ponders the starting 11 just five days before Wales embarked on their

:13:32. > :13:33.historic campaign in France. It's been a rest day

:13:34. > :13:36.for the team today - a chance to familiarise

:13:37. > :13:38.with the new surroundings. We'll hear more from

:13:39. > :13:40.the Wales Camp tomorrow night That's it for now, but join me later

:13:41. > :13:45.in the programme when I'll be chatting to Wales' former captain

:13:46. > :13:47.Kevin Ratcliffe. An investigation is underway

:13:48. > :13:54.into what caused a major fire on a mountainside near Penmaenmawr

:13:55. > :13:57.at the weekend. At one stage it was burning

:13:58. > :13:59.around a hundred yards There were concerns local people may

:14:00. > :14:03.have to leave their homes. North Wales Fire and Rescue Service

:14:04. > :14:17.say extra care should be You get some idea of the scale of

:14:18. > :14:20.this fire. Fire crews were first sent in on Saturday night. I last

:14:21. > :14:25.night it had spread over one Hill and was advancing down into the next

:14:26. > :14:31.valley. The smoke was so thick it caused problems for drivers. Today

:14:32. > :14:36.you could see just how much of the mountain was scorched, and how close

:14:37. > :14:39.the fire got to homes. There is still a faint smell of burning in

:14:40. > :14:42.the air here and every now and again you see it off of smoke coming off

:14:43. > :14:46.the hillside wearing hotspot has burst into flames again. Local

:14:47. > :14:51.people tell me this is the third major mountain fire in this area in

:14:52. > :14:55.the last eight years. The Fire Service say the blaze was under

:14:56. > :14:59.control, but people living here were understandably concerned. I was

:15:00. > :15:03.quite worried that the fire was going to get into the gardens and

:15:04. > :15:09.force evacuation. But fortunately that didn't happen, the fire people

:15:10. > :15:14.did a good job of stopping it. There is a very clear line with have to

:15:15. > :15:19.stop it. I think they did very well. The flames seemed to be on the

:15:20. > :15:24.skyline, and probably about five o'clock it had come down. It wasn't

:15:25. > :15:29.moving quickly, fortunately. But I was getting quite nervous, and it is

:15:30. > :15:32.only when I spoke to the neighbour who said the Fire Service have a

:15:33. > :15:36.plan, they will wait until it comes into reach, and when it did they

:15:37. > :15:40.just tackled. Whilst the cause of the fire is not yet known, the

:15:41. > :15:46.recent dry weather probably did not help. The ground is drying out

:15:47. > :15:52.quickly. It means that the grass and the course becomes tender dry, and

:15:53. > :15:57.the smallest spark can start a fire. And with winds we have been

:15:58. > :16:01.experiencing it can quickly get out of control. There is a warning that

:16:02. > :16:06.anyone deliberately setting will face prosecution. An investigation

:16:07. > :16:07.is underway into how and why the blaze at the weekend started.

:16:08. > :16:14.Forget Wales manager Chris Coleman - a century ago it was George Latham

:16:15. > :16:18.who blazed a trail as one of our greatest football coaches.

:16:19. > :16:20.And temperatures reached 26 Celsius in parts of Wales today -

:16:21. > :16:33.A delayed project to cut air pollution along some

:16:34. > :16:35.of Swansea's busiest roads will, according to the council,

:16:36. > :16:42.At a cost of more than ?100,000, the electronic Nowcaster system

:16:43. > :16:46.will suggest alternative roads to drivers when pollution reaches

:16:47. > :16:52.Swansea would be the first place in the UK to use this

:16:53. > :17:05.For many years, residents along this road in Swansea have experienced

:17:06. > :17:10.high volumes of traffic, particularly during rush hour. This

:17:11. > :17:14.has a big impact on air pollution levels. In the past, attempts have

:17:15. > :17:17.been made to address this, including those in the growth to heavy goods

:17:18. > :17:21.vehicles and removing speed bumps to ease congestion. But now a more

:17:22. > :17:24.sophisticated electronic system known as the Nowcaster will be

:17:25. > :17:31.introduced after a delay of around two and a half years. In Swansea we

:17:32. > :17:37.are looking to gather as much information on an hourly basis on

:17:38. > :17:41.what the weather is doing, what the traffic is doing, and the air

:17:42. > :17:47.quality. And some of this is minute by minute, so that we can understand

:17:48. > :17:51.exactly where the problems are our current and how the problems are

:17:52. > :17:54.occurring. This piece of equipment which projects a laser beam through

:17:55. > :17:58.the air is just one part of the information gathering to assess.

:17:59. > :18:02.Once various pieces of information collected, a decision can then be

:18:03. > :18:07.made how to resolve issues of poor air quality. If pollution levels

:18:08. > :18:10.appear to high on certain roads than a message will display on traffic

:18:11. > :18:15.information boards like the one behind me. It will give drivers the

:18:16. > :18:19.option to choose an alternative route, and it only around 10% the

:18:20. > :18:21.people decide to follow those instructions, it is believed it

:18:22. > :18:26.could significantly improve the air quality in certain areas. Throughout

:18:27. > :18:31.Wales, air quality monitoring systems are used by far the highest

:18:32. > :18:37.level of pollution in the country is here along the A742 in Caerphilly.

:18:38. > :18:42.Nitrogen dioxin levels are believed to be the highest in the UK outside

:18:43. > :18:46.central London, something which causes a great deal of concern for

:18:47. > :18:50.the locals. Caerphilly council says it is looking at ways to improve the

:18:51. > :18:53.situation. In Swansea it is believed the Nowcaster system is not the

:18:54. > :18:59.final solution to tackling vehicle related pollution. I think it will

:19:00. > :19:04.be William Porterfield for the next five years and maybe ten years at

:19:05. > :19:09.the longest. We all really hope that certainly after ten years from now

:19:10. > :19:15.there has to be a major change in the actual fleet. Following

:19:16. > :19:18.technical issues its early development, it is the new project

:19:19. > :19:18.will be fully operational by the autumn.

:19:19. > :19:21.Final preparations have been taking place in Cardiff Bay ahead

:19:22. > :19:24.of the official opening of the 5th National Assembly of Wales tomorrow.

:19:25. > :19:28.Hundreds of Welsh service men and women will form a guard

:19:29. > :19:32.of honour to welcome The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh,

:19:33. > :19:36.along with the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.

:19:37. > :19:40.And you can watch live coverage of The Royal Opening of the Assembly

:19:41. > :19:42.here on BBC One Wales - join me from 11.30 tomorrow morning.

:19:43. > :19:45.Back to tonight - let s return to Iwan in France.

:19:46. > :19:58.Now, with the tournament kicking off in 4 days let's talk football.

:19:59. > :20:09.We are with Kevin Ratcliffe. Kevin, it is good to be here at last. You

:20:10. > :20:16.were in Sweden last night. Any concerns? A 3-0 loss is not great

:20:17. > :20:20.preparation. There is some concern because we have conceded a lot of

:20:21. > :20:25.goals. It was quite the reverse your two ago. But I think it is ever

:20:26. > :20:29.since we have qualified, or more or less qualified that we may took our

:20:30. > :20:34.foot off the gas and have been complacent and one or two ways. As

:20:35. > :20:39.Chris Coleman said. What needs to be done this week just four days before

:20:40. > :20:41.the first game? A bit strange, I would not have taken the game on

:20:42. > :20:46.Sunday, I would have given the lads a bit more of a rest period, but I

:20:47. > :20:50.have never been in that situation, nor has Chris. Only time will tell

:20:51. > :20:53.if he has made the right choice. I might have given them a couple of

:20:54. > :20:58.days off after the game, but it being so close, on Saturday they

:20:59. > :21:02.have to be right. It is maybe about nursing a few injuries, a few

:21:03. > :21:06.knocks, and getting the lads ready and preparing them for that game on

:21:07. > :21:11.Saturday. You were in Sweden last night. Do you feel that some players

:21:12. > :21:16.need to step up? Definitely. We need to be acid a little bit more and I'm

:21:17. > :21:21.sure we will be come Saturday. Some guys out there need to take the game

:21:22. > :21:23.by the scruff of the neck and show them what the game is about and what

:21:24. > :21:28.they are about, because they have not been doing that in the last two

:21:29. > :21:32.games. You have been taking a stroll around Dinard. An ideal preparation?

:21:33. > :21:39.The hour away from the hustle and bustle. During the night before to

:21:40. > :21:44.Bordeaux and Toulouse, and then this is just away from everything, the

:21:45. > :21:50.razzmatazz of everything. They have a good sendoff from Cardiff airport.

:21:51. > :21:51.But yes, this is a fantastic place. Kevin, good to see you. We'll chat

:21:52. > :21:54.littering the week. Chris Coleman will be making history

:21:55. > :22:00.when he leads Wales out Generations earlier,

:22:01. > :22:04.another Welshman made his mark - and is among the nation's

:22:05. > :22:07.greatest football coaches. George Latham led Cardiff City

:22:08. > :22:13.to FA cup glory in 1927, trained the British Olympic squad,

:22:14. > :22:16.and was also a decorated war hero. Carwyn Jones looks back at the life

:22:17. > :22:24.of one of our forgotten greats. Peering out from the pages

:22:25. > :22:28.of history, George Latham was often in the background,

:22:29. > :22:30.orchestrating victory An unassuming man in his trade mark

:22:31. > :22:36.bow tie, Latham joined Cardiff City as a player in 1911

:22:37. > :22:39.and eventually became their coach. Under his auspices,

:22:40. > :22:53.the Bluebirds achieved greatness. In the second half they scored. The

:22:54. > :22:55.goalkeeper let it slip through his fingers.

:22:56. > :22:58.April 23rd 1927, Cardiff City triumph over Arsenal -

:22:59. > :23:02.the only time in the history of the FA Cup that the trophy had

:23:03. > :23:06.Latham's place in the sporting Pantheon was assured.

:23:07. > :23:09.But by then he was already a respected and successful coach.

:23:10. > :23:11.Three years earlier he'd trained the British squad at

:23:12. > :23:26.That was the Olympics of chariots of Fire, where Eric Liddell became

:23:27. > :23:31.famous. He is extremely well-known because of the film, but

:23:32. > :23:32.unfortunately my uncle George is not as well known.

:23:33. > :23:36.As a player George Latham was capped 12 times for Wales, but like so many

:23:37. > :23:38.players of his generation, his sporting career

:23:39. > :23:45.In 1917 Latham was part of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, fighting in Gaza.

:23:46. > :23:50.His courage under fire earned him the Military Cross for

:23:51. > :23:54.capturing enemy positions on the Turkish front.

:23:55. > :23:58.Towards the end of his life Latham returned to the Newtown in Powys.

:23:59. > :24:01.It's where he was born and where he was eventually

:24:02. > :24:10.But his name lives on, notably at the home

:24:13. > :24:26.The ground opened 12 years after his death, but his spirit was in the

:24:27. > :24:33.air. In the first game, Newtown won 4-0. We're not rich with population

:24:34. > :24:39.here, are tones are small, so we don't get many people who succeed in

:24:40. > :24:42.life and sport as he did. So it is nice to tag onto somebody with that

:24:43. > :24:47.history, that level of achievement, and to take it forward with the type

:24:48. > :24:50.of achievement that we want to take forward as a club.

:24:51. > :24:52.War hero, Olympic Coach, FA Cup legend - George Latham

:24:53. > :24:56.A man how achieved so much but who remains in the shadows

:25:09. > :25:11.prepare to play the all Blacks in a series of three tests starting on

:25:12. > :25:17.Saturday. Assistant coach Rob Howley is clear that ending Wales' losing

:25:18. > :25:23.streak, which goes back 63 years, won't be easy. New Zealand set the

:25:24. > :25:27.standard in world rugby, and the one word that comes to mind is

:25:28. > :25:30.relentless. That is what the all Blacks are, with or without the

:25:31. > :25:34.ball, they are relentless. That is our challenge, and the goal, and we

:25:35. > :25:38.look forward to that and embrace it on Saturday.
