Hello, you're about to listen to a BBC podcast, so I'd like to tell you where you'll find more just like it.

I'm Izzy Lee Poulton, an assistant commissioner for BBC Sounds, which means I'm involved in the whole podcast making process.

Whether that's developing fresh formats or facilitating eye-catching artwork, I helped project manage all the details that make our podcast stand out.

At the BBC, we've got access to storytellers and experts across a huge range of subjects.

It could be psychologists, comedians, celebrities or journalists.

No podcasts or day looks the same here.

So no matter what you like, check out BBC Sounds.

There's probably another podcast on there that you're absolutely love.

You're listening to BBC Sounds. Hello and welcome to Scrum 5, The Warm Up, with a matcher at Wales stint in full swing, and after a much improved performance against Ireland, I'm feeling somewhat reinvigorated this week, and I'm hoping my three guests do too.

We're all looking pretty refreshed.

Anyway, Jonathan Davis, Alan Wynne Jones and Ellis Jenkins.

And, Alan Wyn, your last two appearances on this show have landed on pretty tough weeks in Welsh rugby.

So nice to be on when there's been an uplift.

I think there's no such thing as an easy week because obviously after the performance of the weekend the expectation

will have raised.

So I think there's the expectation to back that performance up now.

So yeah, no such thing as an easy week.

And we'll get on to that in a moment.

But Ellis-Shenkins, have you noticed something different about this afternoon? No. up now so yeah no such thing is an easy week and we'll get on to that in a moment but ellis shenkins
