00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: injury is looking.

11
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 2: Now? Our ladies are good, mate, As you were seen,

12
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: we had a couple of middles throughout the game there

13
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: with Kai, Poetia and Dups picking up little injuries. But

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 2: they all really need further assessment on their return to

15
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: play and they're in great hands of our medical staff.

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: But we're really confident that they are going to be

17
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: available next week actually.

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: So they'll be there for Ireland.

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: Well, they'll be available for selection, that's what we're hoping.

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: But we'll get that. We'll get that information the next

21
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: couple of days from our medics.

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: Everyone's downplaying the significance of the Japan game. You guys aren't.

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: What's the what's the challenges there? What are you state,

24
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: what are you strategizing focusing.

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: On No, Hey, just like Spain, really we're not. We're

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: not taking Japan lightly at all. We're respecting them. You know, Hey,

27
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: it's it's a Rugby World Cup. You know, Japan well

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: coached and our hard working team. They've got they've got

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: threats throughout their team. But we're really confident with the

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: team that we're going with, you know that that that

31
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: we can beat this this Japan team. So yeah, they've

32
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: got their game from what we've seen, they've got really

33
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: good set piece, they've got a good kicking game. They

34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: vary their kicking game. And the other part is they're

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: one of the top steps around turnover balls, so really

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: good tacklers and they always looking at turning the ball over.

37
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: So a couple of things that we're aware of in

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: their game. But you know, we're going into this game

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: more focusing on us and how we needed to improve

40
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: off the back of our Spain performance. Spain, as I mentioned,

41
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: they showed a lot of heart and a lot of

42
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: passion in their game and put us under pressure and

43
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: put our skill sets under pressure. So we were a

44
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 2: little bit clunky and our timing was often a lot

45
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 2: of parts of our game and having an area rate

46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: of around twenty two. You know, we're going into this

47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: game making sure that we're a lot more clinical than

48
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 2: our Spain performance.

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: Ricky, what's the vibe like, what are the crowds like?

50
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: What's the atmosphere like? Then?

51
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: Oh, hey, the Okay, the English have done a fantastic

52
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: job and Will Rugby done a fantastic job around promoting

53
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: the World Cup here in England. When we're up York

54
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: through that whole week leading into our Spain game, just

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: the city had an awesome vibe around it. You know,

56
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 2: a lot of locals all knew that the World Cup

57
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: was in you could tell with the energy that was

58
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: around the city. And then heading to the game against Spain, Hey,

59
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: it was it was pretty electrone. The crowd was into

60
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: it and that was an awesome, awesome vibe and I

61
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: think the girls loved it. And I'm sure as the

62
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: Pool games move on and get into the playoffs, that

63
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: energy and it is going to be something awesome.

64
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,760
