Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine

2
00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:11,747
Speaker 1: from News Talks a B.

3
00:00:12,867 --> 00:00:14,547
Speaker 2: We're coming towards the end of our time here at

4
00:00:14,587 --> 00:00:17,227
Speaker 2: Shed twenty two, but time for one more interview and

5
00:00:17,227 --> 00:00:20,467
Speaker 2: it's a great pleasure to welcome into the show. Former

6
00:00:20,507 --> 00:00:25,507
Speaker 2: Springbok now TV rugby analyst with Supersport, Han Yanni Shimangi,

7
00:00:26,027 --> 00:00:28,907
Speaker 2: Han Yanni, let's look back to last week. What did

8
00:00:28,947 --> 00:00:31,227
Speaker 2: you make of the spring Box performance at Eden Park.

9
00:00:32,187 --> 00:00:34,587
Speaker 3: It's a team that would probably look at at the performance.

10
00:00:34,667 --> 00:00:36,147
Speaker 3: They created a lot.

11
00:00:36,187 --> 00:00:39,307
Speaker 4: They had I think twelve or thirteen twenty two meter entries,

12
00:00:39,307 --> 00:00:42,027
Speaker 4: but they could just don't convert that pressure, so it

13
00:00:42,147 --> 00:00:44,947
Speaker 4: was it was sort of what I want to call

14
00:00:44,987 --> 00:00:48,667
Speaker 4: it messi when they got to the red zone, which

15
00:00:48,667 --> 00:00:50,867
Speaker 4: was compounding areas, it would be a miss line ut

16
00:00:51,107 --> 00:00:53,827
Speaker 4: to be, you know, they win the lineup and the

17
00:00:53,867 --> 00:00:55,827
Speaker 4: wall get dropped in the get going, then there'd be

18
00:00:55,827 --> 00:00:56,347
Speaker 4: a knock on.

19
00:00:56,907 --> 00:00:57,827
Speaker 3: Or some pressure there.

20
00:00:57,827 --> 00:01:00,227
Speaker 4: But but New Zealand did well to disrupt the spring

21
00:01:00,267 --> 00:01:03,387
Speaker 4: Box and probably seven points is probably a fair reflection

22
00:01:03,467 --> 00:01:05,147
Speaker 4: of the game really at the end in terms of

23
00:01:05,347 --> 00:01:08,107
Speaker 4: the New Zealand victory. Didn't Park was always going to

24
00:01:08,107 --> 00:01:09,987
Speaker 4: be a difficult place to win, but to win, they

25
00:01:10,187 --> 00:01:11,987
Speaker 4: need to put up your best performance.

26
00:01:12,427 --> 00:01:14,267
Speaker 3: And the spring Box was slightly of conor.

27
00:01:14,867 --> 00:01:18,147
Speaker 2: How desperate then will they be to produce a big

28
00:01:18,187 --> 00:01:19,067
Speaker 2: reaction tonight?

29
00:01:19,587 --> 00:01:20,267
Speaker 3: It'll be desperate.

30
00:01:20,267 --> 00:01:23,107
Speaker 4: Look, it's a similar to you guys, every time you

31
00:01:23,187 --> 00:01:25,147
Speaker 4: put on the Springbox jersy, every time they are not,

32
00:01:25,227 --> 00:01:26,747
Speaker 4: there is an expectation.

33
00:01:26,867 --> 00:01:30,227
Speaker 3: To deliver excellence. New Zealand it's the greatest library.

34
00:01:30,307 --> 00:01:33,227
Speaker 4: It's it's a harder place to win, and when you're especial,

35
00:01:33,347 --> 00:01:35,467
Speaker 4: it's it's you know, we always remember the wins we

36
00:01:35,507 --> 00:01:38,387
Speaker 4: have in New Zealand against New Zealand. We informed the

37
00:01:38,387 --> 00:01:40,227
Speaker 4: truck last year, but none of them were in New Zealand,

38
00:01:40,267 --> 00:01:42,547
Speaker 4: and the team will be desperate together results here.

39
00:01:43,067 --> 00:01:45,547
Speaker 2: Obviously a lot of hype around last weekend's game in

40
00:01:45,627 --> 00:01:48,147
Speaker 2: there is tonight as well. But with the Eden Park record,

41
00:01:48,187 --> 00:01:51,507
Speaker 2: the undefeated record, all of the you know, the emotion

42
00:01:51,587 --> 00:01:53,587
Speaker 2: that was wrapped around last week, can you see the

43
00:01:53,627 --> 00:01:56,547
Speaker 2: spring Box getting up again in similar fashion for the

44
00:01:56,587 --> 00:01:57,187
Speaker 2: game tonight.

45
00:01:57,387 --> 00:02:00,107
Speaker 4: Yeah, they'll get up and purely because also we take

46
00:02:00,147 --> 00:02:02,547
Speaker 4: this flat a bit, so there's a lot of internal

47
00:02:02,587 --> 00:02:05,867
Speaker 4: competition within this flood, which means guys will want to

48
00:02:05,907 --> 00:02:07,027
Speaker 4: perform in put the.

49
00:02:06,987 --> 00:02:08,107
Speaker 3: Big foot forward.

50
00:02:07,907 --> 00:02:11,187
Speaker 4: And that that's good for the Springboks. But the reality

51
00:02:11,307 --> 00:02:14,547
Speaker 4: is it's it's you know, it's a Dorby game. It's

52
00:02:14,547 --> 00:02:16,867
Speaker 4: it's a massive rivalry and don't get up for they

53
00:02:17,147 --> 00:02:19,507
Speaker 4: They've never not been up for it, you know. And

54
00:02:19,507 --> 00:02:21,227
Speaker 4: I don't think the gap between the two teams is

55
00:02:21,267 --> 00:02:23,547
Speaker 4: that big, to be honest with you. And there's plenty

56
00:02:23,627 --> 00:02:25,707
Speaker 4: of South Africans and as we said, stand here, I'm

57
00:02:25,707 --> 00:02:27,747
Speaker 4: watching the guys walking into the team bus and there's

58
00:02:27,787 --> 00:02:30,227
Speaker 4: loads of South Africans just taking pictures here so to

59
00:02:30,347 --> 00:02:34,747
Speaker 4: understand what's required to understand, you know, in front of them,

60
00:02:34,747 --> 00:02:36,467
Speaker 4: and it's something that they're always embrace.

61
00:02:37,067 --> 00:02:39,787
Speaker 2: What if you made of the raft of changes Rassi

62
00:02:39,827 --> 00:02:42,267
Speaker 2: Erasthmus has made to a side for tonight.

63
00:02:42,827 --> 00:02:45,347
Speaker 3: They're good, they're good. Look we have ritated a bit.

64
00:02:45,427 --> 00:02:46,147
Speaker 3: I mean's such a fund.

65
00:02:46,547 --> 00:02:49,627
Speaker 4: Missoulia played probably ten years Sea games last year and

66
00:02:49,627 --> 00:02:51,867
Speaker 4: everyone but he's going to get introduced into the springball team.

67
00:02:52,227 --> 00:02:54,907
Speaker 4: He wouldn't start against New Zealand and look what's happened now.

68
00:02:55,267 --> 00:02:57,787
Speaker 4: He started last year and he's probably the best young

69
00:02:57,867 --> 00:02:59,067
Speaker 4: up and coming talent anymore.

70
00:02:59,307 --> 00:03:04,307
Speaker 5: US demon Billin says, yea two Cayn made the springboards.

71
00:03:04,307 --> 00:03:06,667
Speaker 5: I think there's a three year old against US Tralia

72
00:03:06,747 --> 00:03:09,187
Speaker 5: which we won. So it's as much as it's a

73
00:03:09,187 --> 00:03:11,187
Speaker 5: lot of changes. These guys have been around the block

74
00:03:11,267 --> 00:03:12,147
Speaker 5: and they know what to do.

75
00:03:13,187 --> 00:03:15,547
Speaker 4: Exciting was a coward infant look at the New Zealanders

76
00:03:15,547 --> 00:03:17,347
Speaker 4: wouldn't seen a lot of out it facebook the charts

77
00:03:17,467 --> 00:03:20,267
Speaker 4: that they did, played edge groups to ut So he's

78
00:03:20,267 --> 00:03:21,827
Speaker 4: a very good player and if he's given a little

79
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:23,507
Speaker 4: bit of space and he started as a big.

80
00:03:23,347 --> 00:03:25,987
Speaker 2: Way, did you think that he might have gone in

81
00:03:25,987 --> 00:03:28,707
Speaker 2: one or both tests Russie with a six to two

82
00:03:29,067 --> 00:03:32,147
Speaker 2: bench split given how effective that was last year in

83
00:03:32,147 --> 00:03:33,627
Speaker 2: both Johannesburg and Cape Town.

84
00:03:33,907 --> 00:03:35,947
Speaker 4: Yeah, some of the backs don't have a lot of minutes.

85
00:03:35,987 --> 00:03:38,347
Speaker 4: I think that's why he couldn't go with We went

86
00:03:38,427 --> 00:03:40,187
Speaker 4: five to three. But Chester Hayesen can come in a

87
00:03:40,267 --> 00:03:42,827
Speaker 4: center and flame, so this week you can either.

88
00:03:42,667 --> 00:03:44,107
Speaker 3: Look at it as a five to three or a

89
00:03:44,267 --> 00:03:47,907
Speaker 3: hybrid sixth too. So that's what he's done this week.

90
00:03:47,947 --> 00:03:50,227
Speaker 4: Oh guess name one's a big one because as a

91
00:03:50,307 --> 00:03:52,867
Speaker 4: lot he's quite a bigger but a massive offloading. It's

92
00:03:52,867 --> 00:03:55,307
Speaker 4: almost like a basketbooll player in terms of this swofloading game.

93
00:03:55,907 --> 00:03:58,227
Speaker 4: They can get the pull away within context. So it's

94
00:03:58,227 --> 00:03:59,307
Speaker 4: going to be an exciting game.

95
00:03:59,587 --> 00:04:02,187
Speaker 2: Do you think the spring Box will continue the aerial

96
00:04:02,227 --> 00:04:03,987
Speaker 2: assault they employed last weekend?

97
00:04:04,507 --> 00:04:08,627
Speaker 4: I think the condition sort of takes it at Christie

98
00:04:08,787 --> 00:04:11,867
Speaker 4: kicked probably the most that he was good, so you've

99
00:04:11,867 --> 00:04:13,147
Speaker 4: got to adapt to the conditions.

100
00:04:13,147 --> 00:04:15,427
Speaker 3: You could see that midfield area a lot of the

101
00:04:15,467 --> 00:04:16,187
Speaker 3: teams are kicking.

102
00:04:16,667 --> 00:04:18,747
Speaker 4: I think what you might maybe see from both teams

103
00:04:18,747 --> 00:04:21,867
Speaker 4: as variation and kicking instead of kicking from nine, kicked

104
00:04:21,867 --> 00:04:24,827
Speaker 4: from ten, kick from twelve, kicked from fifteen, and try

105
00:04:24,827 --> 00:04:26,667
Speaker 4: to isolate someone from the back and use that.

106
00:04:27,427 --> 00:04:31,507
Speaker 2: This is a very experienced South African side in many areas,

107
00:04:31,547 --> 00:04:35,307
Speaker 2: other areas it's not quite so experienced. How many of

108
00:04:35,307 --> 00:04:37,907
Speaker 2: the plaiers involved in the spring Box squad now do

109
00:04:37,987 --> 00:04:40,387
Speaker 2: you expect to not be there in a couple of

110
00:04:40,507 --> 00:04:42,027
Speaker 2: years at the next Rugby World Cup.

111
00:04:42,867 --> 00:04:46,147
Speaker 3: It's difficult sold because you can't do you look at

112
00:04:46,147 --> 00:04:48,667
Speaker 3: the performance, not the age of the player. So if

113
00:04:48,707 --> 00:04:49,587
Speaker 3: you look at.

114
00:04:49,347 --> 00:04:53,667
Speaker 5: A guy like what's for example, two thousand people.

115
00:04:53,427 --> 00:04:55,667
Speaker 3: See it's too Old two thousand and seven, you ended

116
00:04:55,747 --> 00:04:58,507
Speaker 3: up winning the World Cup. You know, so, I think

117
00:04:58,587 --> 00:05:01,347
Speaker 3: what the chapter on months for spiders listening? Would you play?

118
00:05:01,387 --> 00:05:03,547
Speaker 3: Well old enough? It actually doesn't matter.

119
00:05:04,067 --> 00:05:05,987
Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff, hen Yanni. I gotta leave it there.
