:02:31. > :02:32.that they're seeking to develop with their victims

:05:52. > :05:55.from across the UK are diagnosed with brain tumours every year -
:05:56. > :05:59.but delays in that diagnosis can have dire and sometimes

:06:09. > :06:11.among parents and doctors Eight-year-old Leila May Cummings,

:06:22. > :06:25.year of health problems, She's since had surgery
:06:26. > :06:30.to remove the tumour, but the delay may have
:06:31. > :06:32.had lasting consequences. She's left with quite
:06:33. > :06:35.a memory deficit, so it You know, she's a very different
:06:36. > :06:41.person to how she was. I mean, the brain

:07:03. > :07:05.anything from headaches and persistent vomiting,
:07:06. > :07:07.a wry neck in a child, or imbalance, a child not able to ride
:07:08. > :07:12.a bike or dance well. But, combined with other symptoms,
:07:13. > :07:15.they suggest that a parent ought to be talking to their GP
:07:16. > :07:23.and pushing for a scan. For a year, Leila May's
:07:24. > :07:25.condition worsened. She became weaker, aggressive,
:07:26. > :07:28.and suffered seizures. An MRI scan in Cardiff finally
:07:29. > :07:31.revealed the tumour. You're obviously very keen
:07:32. > :07:34.to highlight the symptoms of brain tumours so other families don't go

:08:43. > :08:47.on who will take-over On the eve of naming his Six Nations
:08:48. > :08:57.squad, plenty to ponder on. And after a frustrating autumn
:08:58. > :08:59.series, calls for the North Wales coach to be bold and not just pick

:09:43. > :09:51.and then bring them on gradually as the game's starting to evolve
:09:52. > :09:53.a little bit... You know, it would be nice if Rob
:09:54. > :09:56.just went a little bit away from the status quo and pick players
