00:00:06,707 --> 00:00:10,427
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine

2
00:00:10,747 --> 00:00:13,187
Speaker 1: from Newstalk ZB A.

3
00:00:13,187 --> 00:00:16,507
Speaker 2: Few questions for me or from me ahead of tonight's

4
00:00:16,867 --> 00:00:19,507
Speaker 2: second test? What would have been the biggest areas of

5
00:00:19,547 --> 00:00:22,227
Speaker 2: focus for the All Blacks this week? For me, the

6
00:00:22,227 --> 00:00:25,227
Speaker 2: collision areas England certainly trump the All Blacks there last

7
00:00:25,227 --> 00:00:27,947
Speaker 2: week two. Finding a way to combat the rush defense

8
00:00:28,267 --> 00:00:31,307
Speaker 2: and this I think is one for greater minds than mine.

9
00:00:31,307 --> 00:00:34,267
Speaker 2: Maybe your mind might have an idea. Cross kecks a

10
00:00:34,307 --> 00:00:37,387
Speaker 2: one way, of course, but quicker slicker ball is another,

11
00:00:37,587 --> 00:00:40,787
Speaker 2: a different approach perhaps or a slightly different approach. Let's

12
00:00:40,827 --> 00:00:42,947
Speaker 2: not forget that both teams now have a frame of

13
00:00:42,987 --> 00:00:46,827
Speaker 2: reference after last week, They have some intel, and they

14
00:00:46,867 --> 00:00:49,547
Speaker 2: have the ability of have had the opportunity this week

15
00:00:49,907 --> 00:00:52,387
Speaker 2: to look back at what went well and what didn't

16
00:00:52,587 --> 00:00:55,267
Speaker 2: and then find them some solutions and three lineouts for

17
00:00:55,267 --> 00:00:57,587
Speaker 2: the All Blacks not that great last week, both with

18
00:00:57,667 --> 00:01:01,427
Speaker 2: connections and even just throwing the ball in Cody Taylor

19
00:01:02,067 --> 00:01:05,827
Speaker 2: more have big nights ahead. I wonder whether Damien McKenzie

20
00:01:05,867 --> 00:01:11,747
Speaker 2: will chain his kicking routine tonight after being timed out

21
00:01:11,827 --> 00:01:14,787
Speaker 2: last weekend. I doubt he will kickers just tend to

22
00:01:14,827 --> 00:01:19,187
Speaker 2: have a pre kick routine that they stick to religiously.

23
00:01:19,987 --> 00:01:21,667
Speaker 2: And he'll also have the shot clock on the big

24
00:01:21,707 --> 00:01:23,507
Speaker 2: screen tonight. I'm not sure if he caught up with

25
00:01:23,547 --> 00:01:25,827
Speaker 2: his news. You probably did that there will be a

26
00:01:25,867 --> 00:01:28,507
Speaker 2: shot clock on the big screen at eden Park tonight,

27
00:01:28,587 --> 00:01:31,307
Speaker 2: so there's a visual queue for the kickers that the

28
00:01:31,347 --> 00:01:36,827
Speaker 2: sixty seconds is starting to run out. So that'll be

29
00:01:36,867 --> 00:01:39,627
Speaker 2: there tonight. How will Courtees will have to go on

30
00:01:39,707 --> 00:01:42,827
Speaker 2: debut good? I think he's been a quality super rugby

31
00:01:42,867 --> 00:01:45,907
Speaker 2: halfback for a while now looks every inch of player

32
00:01:46,347 --> 00:01:48,467
Speaker 2: who will go very well in the black jersey. I'd

33
00:01:48,507 --> 00:01:51,227
Speaker 2: want to as well because Noah Hothams in the mix now,

34
00:01:51,307 --> 00:01:53,907
Speaker 2: isn't he? With TJ Petinata out for a short period,

35
00:01:54,347 --> 00:01:57,307
Speaker 2: cam roy Guard's on the improve. Competition for those half

36
00:01:57,307 --> 00:02:00,827
Speaker 2: back spots is about to intensify and will England Blake

37
00:02:01,027 --> 00:02:03,907
Speaker 2: break rather the eden Park Fortress? It just seems unlikely,

38
00:02:03,987 --> 00:02:07,067
Speaker 2: doesn't it. Something happens to the All Blacks and to

39
00:02:07,187 --> 00:02:10,587
Speaker 2: visiting teams on this patch of grass out here in

40
00:02:10,627 --> 00:02:12,427
Speaker 2: front of me. I mean, how else can you explain

41
00:02:13,387 --> 00:02:17,387
Speaker 2: the last thirty years, only six of the current All

42
00:02:17,427 --> 00:02:21,227
Speaker 2: Blacks twenty three were even born when France scored that

43
00:02:21,307 --> 00:02:23,747
Speaker 2: try from the end of the Earth here in nineteen

44
00:02:23,827 --> 00:02:27,987
Speaker 2: ninety four. It just feels like England's chance was last weekend.
