1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Jason Pie and sports coasters of US Piney.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 2: Hello, hello head.

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: How good were the All Blacks then?

4
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: Eh? I thought they were good. I thought they were

5
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: really good. Yeah, now good on the may I you know,

6
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: Ireland were beating their chests, weren't they and playing the

7
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: cranberries and Johnny Sexton was winging and whining right up

8
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 2: until the start of the game and probably during it

9
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: as well. I thought they played well. I thought Ireland

10
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: were below par, looked like a team that hadn't played

11
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 2: for a few months. And that was the case, but

12
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: it was the pressure the All Blacks applied to them,

13
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: particularly in the last twenty minutes. I think they're really

14
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: told so yeah, big test by Damien Mackenzie, Big test

15
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: by Usafua Moore. I think they were two of the

16
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: players who the spotlight perhaps were shining brightest on and

17
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: they delivered. I thought it was a really, really good performance.

18
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: So what has happened to the All Blacks because the

19
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: last two tests have been pretty convincing for the last

20
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: twenty minutes a which has been the thing. Remember at

21
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: the start of Rais's tenure, we were like, what happens

22
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: in the last twenty minutes? What have they managed to

23
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: do well?

24
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: I think maybe they've just taken and I hate this phrase,

25
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: taken the learnings from what's happened. They clearly we could

26
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: see something was going wrong in the last twenty minutes.

27
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: They've just, for whatever reason, worked it out. And look,

28
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: maybe we should have expected some teething problems under a

29
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: new coaching group, you know. I know Rays has been

30
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: extremely as successful as Crusader's head coach, but it's a

31
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: different group of players, a different environment, all that sort

32
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: of thing. So maybe it's taking a bit of time.

33
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: And we always say, don't we that. You know, the

34
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: World Cup's the thing, and you know this year might

35
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: have been sort of just a building block towards it. Well,

36
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: the building blocks are looking nice and firm at the

37
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: back end of the year. Beat France next year, next

38
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: week rather either And all of a sudden, they've won

39
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: three tests that a lot of people thought they would lose,

40
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: all three of us. So you got to hand it

41
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: to the minute.

42
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: And has Damien the boot McKenzie proved himself to you?

43
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I thought he had a good test. I'd

44
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: still be picking Boden Barrett next week. You know, I

45
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: like Damien McKenzie a lot. I do. I really like him.

46
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: I think he proved you know that he can control

47
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: a Rugby Test from first five. I still love him

48
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: coming off the bench in the last twenty minutes as

49
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: an impact player. I think of Bowden's fit. He missed

50
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: this one because of concussion. Think you bringing back? I

51
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: think you probably bring Cody Taylor back as well, even

52
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: though Safa was very good. So it's good to have

53
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: the selection headaches.

54
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: Well, what about Steven Elker?

55
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: This is so good over fifty over fifties the PGA

56
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: Champions Tour. There's hope for well for me anyway, yet, Well,

57
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: I'd have to get good at golf. He has in

58
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: the last twenty four hours won one point seven million

59
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: New Zealand dollars for winning the PGA Champions Tour overall

60
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: season long title. He's been playing on this tour for

61
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: the last four years, Heather, he's won seventeen million New

62
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: Zealand dollars.

63
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: What does he does he do we know this? Does

64
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: he have flash houses? Does he drive him as AASI?

65
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: What if I had that money? I think he's pretty understated,

66
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: as most kiwis are, but he's just he's found his niche.

67
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: You know he was. He was a good solid pro,

68
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: you know on the on the you know, I don't

69
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: think member. He might have played PGA Tour. I can't

70
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: really remember, but the Champions Tour for a guy who's

71
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: clearly found his sweet spot. Man, seventeen million dollars in

72
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: three or four years in your fifties, give me some

73
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 2: of them. Give me some of that. I love it.
