00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: is Cortez?

10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? Injured enough not to play this one. He wasn't

11
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: far off at the time. It was an injury we

12
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: thought may have been a little bit longer. But he's

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: worked really well. He's given himself an opportunity to be

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: possibly available in the coming weeks.

15
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: Are you are you being because you guys are being

16
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 1: a little secretive about this? A you are?

17
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think so at what's that? Sorry?

18
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: What's happened to him? Is it a cut or a

19
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: sprain or is it a smashing of something?

20
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: What's happened now with with Cortez, that's a upper body

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: injury around the river and the medical advice there was

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: in the cost of muscle and the like. It wasn't

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: an option this week to play. Yeah.

24
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: I regret asking you that question because I have no

25
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: idea what the idea?

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: And I was hoping I knew what I was saying

27
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: like there, but and neither do I. I'm one of

28
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: these coaches that is in or not so and at

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: the stage is not available fair enough.

30
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: Hey, Fabian Holland, what's he done to get put back

31
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 1: on the bench.

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: Oh, he's played really well, so he's got the opportunity

33
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: to come from the bench. We just fell it with

34
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: this one. The experience that we have at our locks,

35
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: Fabian has done a great job for us. We know

36
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: we will give coming off the bench, so the opportunity

37
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: is there. And it's also one of those games here

38
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: that it's just as important how you finish. So he'll

39
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: come on. He'll give us a lot of power through

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: the middle. And we've been really pleasantly what can I say,

41
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: the really supportive around what he has done his first

42
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: number of tests. He's come on the scene really well,

43
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: this one for us coming off the beach.

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: Got something special plan for Ardie's hundredth test.

45
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, he's a pretty special man. He deserves something special.

46
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: I think for us, just focusing on this test and

47
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: winning some moments for Ardie. And we know Ardie's a

48
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: very special person, a special All Black, so one hundred

49
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: percent where we're going out there to put in performance

50
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: he can be proud of, and it's it's important.

51
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: We do that now. Scotty, you know, fair to say

52
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: a bit of nerves, a bit of nerves out there

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: amongst the public about this one. How are you guys feeling?

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: You know, I think those nerves are fair, and especially

55
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: when you know we've just come off a loss and

56
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: it's fear to feel the nerves. We've got an Eden

57
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: Park that we're really proud of to play on. It's

58
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: you know, it's feel backs playing at home essentially and

59
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: what that feels like field backs sort of, it's that

60
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: feeling of coming home. So it's fear to have nerves

61
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: and to be fear in our environment. And it's been

62
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: a week that's we've been focused on the performance and

63
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: winning moments. But there should be some nerves here because

64
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: it's a great opportunity for us. And when you're Bock's

65
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: a little bit nervous around our week in the light

66
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: that's usually we were about our best.

67
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: It's good, good insight, Scotty best of luck, Scotty Hanson,
