Summary
Gareth Rhys Owen and Lauren Salter are joined by former Wales and Ospreys fly-half James Hook and Scrum V writer Gareth Griffiths to discuss what’s next for Ospreys. As Wales begin their preparations for the Six Nations the focus is very much on off-the-field issues after the Welsh Rugby Union confirmed Ospreys owners, Y11 Sport and Media, are the preferred option to buy Cardiff. The team reflect on another seismic week in Welsh rugby, the weekend's United Rugby Championship results and look ahead to the Six Nations.

| 0:05.7 | Hello, you're about to listen to a BBC podcast, and I'm Ed Gamble, host of another BBC podcast, The Traitors Uncloaked. |
| 0:12.7 | But my show is available only on BBC Sounds, just like Ellis and John's Saturday bonus episodes, |
| 0:18.2 | The Pop Top Ten podcast with Scott Mills and Rylan, and comedy specials |
| 0:22.2 | from the likes of Harriet Kemsley, Susie Ruffle and Rommashranganathan. |
| 0:26.0 | However, and maybe I'm biased, it's really all about the traitors uncoaked. |

| 0:35.6 | Scrumfi podcast, busy, busy, busy today. Lauren in Edinburgh, Six Nations launch. James Hook with me, all right, James? Afternoon, boys. Good, good. You are it? Not bad. Not bad. Garth Griffiths, who used to make guest appearances. I think you're just a perma book now, don't you? I think when I make my last appearance as people in Welch Rugby are going to be happy. |
| 0:55.8 | Yeah, yeah, we've solved it. |
| 0:57.7 | Well, I wouldn't quite go that far, but I just don't think they want to hear for me of doom and gloom anymore. So I think people will be content when it's just one Gareth on this podcast. We're going to do a little bit of digging into Y-11. We'll tell you really, so many of you |
| 1:12.4 | come up to me in the street and say, who are Y-11? Or what do they want to do? We'll just discuss |
| 1:18.7 | the latest in terms of the future of the regions, in particular the Ospreys. We'll talk about Wales, |
| 1:23.7 | going into the Six Nations, and of course, we'll discuss what was all in all a very |
| 1:28.9 | successful weekend for the Welsh regions before we get down a dirty your highlight please |
| 1:35.0 | for me is Ellis Meets try I was working on a Scarless Elster game and Scarlett's just not in the |
| 1:40.5 | game particularly in the second half and then Costello kicks a penalty and that's the first time they're getting the Elster half. And then from nothing, driving mall. Great pass from Costello, Ellis Me, great finish. And just scarless crowd just erupted. So, one went to the weekend for me, got? That would probably be mine, so I'm going to go for something else. Something a little bit there less. Josh McNally's try for Cardiff, not because there was anything spectacular about it, but in the first half, he'd gone over and he'd done that thing where he'd tried to get the ball on the line, and he'd just lost control of it, and he was outstanding all game. Callum Sheedy came into the press conference afterwards and says, |
| 2:18.1 | if that wasn't a Josh McNally match, |
| 2:20.0 | I don't know what was with all the weather and the wind and rain. |
| 2:26.4 | Just trying to get that try, reward. |
| 2:28.4 | He was player of the match, |
| 2:29.8 | and it shows what a good non-Welch player can do for you. |
| 2:34.1 | Oh, good point, pertinent point as well. Mine Friday night. and it shows what a good non-Welch player can do for you. |
