1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: To another crack for the All Blacks tomorrow night. Of course, 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: pressure on given last week and the Robertson Egra's first loss. 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: First time we played the Argentinians in Auckland since twenty 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: eleven World Cup quarter final, I got the old Eden 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: Park Fortress record there to consider. I suppose as well. Anyway, 6 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: Ethan blackead as part of it, and he's with us, Ethan. 7 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: Morning to you morning, Mike. 8 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 2: How are you? Maye? 9 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: Very well? Indeed, thank you. How's the week gone for you? 10 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: It's been good? Yeah, really good so far. We yeah, 11 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: just had a good honest from you on Monday and yeah, 12 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 2: picked all ups up and yeah we're just cracked on 13 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: with it and got a bit of excitement around the Saturday. 14 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: When you guys lose and I worry about this, everyone 15 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: picks on the All Blacks. Is it not fair to, 16 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: at least for a while anyway, give the Argentinians some credit. 17 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: They seem to have stepped up. They seem like a 18 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: better side than they once were. Is that fair? 19 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah they are their quality side. And but you 20 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: don't remember they made the semi final of the rug 21 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: the World Cup last year, so yeah, they no quality 22 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: football side. So yeah, but both like, yeah, we take 23 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 2: a loss pretty hard. 24 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: Are you feeling the pressure because the general consensus around 25 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: the place is that what happens when the All Blacks 26 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: lose is then when you get to the second Test, 27 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: you'll kill them. 28 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, that their false identity, I think. But no, like, yeah, 29 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: we yeah, we don't perform the way we want to 30 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: do on the weekend or last weekend that is. But yeah, 31 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 2: we've put all that aside. Now we're actually really excited 32 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: for Saturday because it's an opportunity to turn it around. 33 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: Good. Talk to me about Raiser Giving. You've got experience 34 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: with him pro the All Blacks. What do you think 35 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: he's brought to the All Blacks? And what do you 36 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,199 Speaker 1: think the differences he's making? 37 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, Raise Easing. He's been really good so far. He 38 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: just brings a fresh sort of a lot of fresh ideas. 39 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: He's a very energetic man. And yeah, the boys, just 40 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: the boys enjoyed playing for him, and yeah, it's been 41 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: really good. Good. 42 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: Depending on whether you believe the forecast, it could be 43 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: a bit wet. Does that bother you? 44 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a look at the forecast last night 45 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: and looks to the heavy rain at that time of 46 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: the night. So no, we we've sort of talked about 47 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: it already and prepare for it dry or wet, so 48 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 2: we've got plans in place. 49 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: Good stuff. Have you ever heard of James Kerr's book 50 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: that looks at the lessons of leadership for the All Blacks? 51 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of that or not? 52 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: I have heard of the Buck Yes, yeah, so I. 53 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: Read this fascinating story. Ivan Cleary you know, sorry, Nathan Cleary, 54 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: you know Nathan? Yes, yeah, he wins the other night, 55 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: he leads the comeback for a side. Everyone on the 56 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: team is on the bus except for Nathan, who's in 57 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: the locker room cleaning the locker room out. And he 58 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: gets that from the book, sweeping the sheds doing it properly, 59 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: so no one else has to because no one looks 60 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: after the All Blacks. The All Blacks look after themselves. 61 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: I'd never heard that before, so that's my ignorance. But 62 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: that's brilliant. Do you guys subscribe to that? 63 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. There's always always boys and the 64 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 2: sheds after the game doing exactly that. And yeah, that 65 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: quote sort of speaks for itself. 66 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: All right, go, well, this weekend mate and best of 67 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: your dad and all that sort of stuff. Ethan Blackadder 68 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: flanker All Blacks? Am I like ignorant that I haven't 69 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: heard from that? Has everyone heard that or not? The book? 70 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know. But sweeping the shed so Nathan Cleary 71 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: just to be CLEARCU didn't explain it himself because now 72 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: it's ruin the other night. But I don't think he 73 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: did it in the shed. But he's literally cleaning the shed. 74 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: Strapping tape, drink bottles are the detritus strewn across the floor. 75 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: The star of the show is cleaning the shed because 76 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: he has never forgotten sweeping the sheds doing it properly 77 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: so no one else has to because no one looks 78 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: after the All Blacks. The all Blacks look after themselves. 79 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: Words to live by, and that, Glenn, is why I 80 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: vacuum the studio every bloody Morning's about to try to 81 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: exactly every morning for the last sixteen years because no 82 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: one looks after the hosk. Is that the same? Or 83 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: am I paraphrasing too much? 84 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 2: There? 85 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 86 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: news talks they'd be from six am weekdays, or follow 87 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio,
