1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Big game this weekend in Wellington all Blacks Wallabies, and

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: there's been some bad weather. We're joined by news talks.

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: There'd be rugby commentator, the voice of Rugby, Elliot Smith. Elliott,

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: good morning, Good morning Ryan, he did, flights are right

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: for you. I'm assuming you're in Wellington this morning.

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 2: I am indeed no. We arrived in earlier on the

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: week and so it has actually been quite good up

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 2: until yesterday when it packed in big time and has

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: been raining and windy and everything else that you associate

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: with bad days in the capital. But the good news

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: that's sexually supposed to be all right for the game

12
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: itself tomorrow. We just have to get through a couple

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: of days of bad weather in the build up to

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: kick off tomorrow night at seven o'clock.

15
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: So you've been the first time you've been there in

16
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: a little while. Does it look dead to you, like

17
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: everyone says Elliott?

18
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: The city It does look it looks a lot quieter

19
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: than it has in the past. And look at it

20
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: is actually quite noticeable when you come in you go, oh,

21
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: this isn't the sort of bustling sort of place that

22
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: it was maybe even two or three years ago. And

23
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: you know this sort of funky little capital that made

24
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: it used to be. It is quite empty in the

25
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: city and not quite the happening place it used to be.

26
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: So you know, maybe they'll get forty zero or there

27
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: about them to the rugby tomorrow night and they will

28
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: revitalize things and everyone will be happy.

29
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, be good to see a crowd mine. Hey there's two.

30
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: There's a Whodo and a Jinx. There's the twenty minute jinks,

31
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: the last final twenty minutes of the game. We don't

32
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: seem to be able to score any points. And then

33
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: there's the Wellington who do We haven't won any of

34
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: the last six tests in Wellington.

35
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a couple of things to sort out tomorrow

36
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: night from an All Blacks perspectives, and they're from a

37
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: recent record. First and foremost has to be getting that

38
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: twenty minute jinks sort it out, because this is becoming

39
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 2: troublesome for the All Blacks. That's becoming a real issue

40
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: for them in games. They can see yellow cards and

41
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: penalties in a drifting out of the games. Last week

42
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: they were still good enough to get the win against Australia,

43
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: but they need to get that sorted out first. And

44
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: foremost and find some points in the last twenty and

45
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: there you would think if they get some points in

46
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: the last twenty, that will mean that they get a

47
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: result and therefore lift that capital curse. Quite remarkable. They

48
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: haven't won here since twenty eighteen, a real run of

49
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: four results in that time, so they need to get

50
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: that sortied. Discipline is the key. They get that right.

51
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: They can get some points on the board and they'll

52
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: get things sorted. But for the fact that it's having

53
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: five games in a row now across the Rugby Championship,

54
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: there's nothing short of remarkable. It's beginning to be talked about,

55
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: beginning to be a real issue for this all black steam.

56
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: It sounds like it. Elliott, thank you for that. We

57
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,040
