1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: All Blacks are in Edinburgh facing off against Scotland and 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: ten past four on Sunday morning, if you're brave enough 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,399 Speaker 1: to get up early and wants to tune in on 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: the wireless doing the radio commentary once again on our 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: sister station zeb and gold Sport. We've got Elliot Smith 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: who's on the grounds there in place of Nisbo and 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: you were. We caught up last week when you were 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: in Chicago. Even though the stadium was a salout in 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: a big place like that, wasn't too much vibe on 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: the streets. We know the Scottish real rugby mad So 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: you're feeling a little more this week ahead of the game, Elliott. 12 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, a bit more than just sported this game on 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 2: this week in a lot of advertising around this game 14 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: sold out as well. My understanding is that there's a 15 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: fair amount of here we expacts bound to come in 16 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: Friday and Saturday for the game. And the reason behind 17 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: that is that I think it's so hard to come 18 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: by and so expensive fortooking them that a lot of 19 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: key wes you know, find it cheaper and moreul to 20 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: try and get to Murrayfield or Cardiff, which is the 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 2: last game on the tour them try and get to 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: London even if they live there. So just over sixty thousand, 23 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: so it should be absolute party of player. And they're 24 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of Murrayfield as well, and 25 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: they're dubbing this the centenary match. They invited the All 26 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: Blacks and Scotland's going to be wearing a commemorative jersey 27 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: similar to the one they wore one hundred years ago 28 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 2: when Murrayfield first came into being, So Scotland to where 29 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: they're royal blue, they're deep blue jersey. The All Blacks 30 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: will wear whites with a poppy on on Saturday afternoon, 31 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 2: so a little bit of a different. 32 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: Beer given off English vibes All White Store for this 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: particular fixture. Well, it's a good thing we did make 34 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: the invite list because it is our fortress. Not often 35 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: that the away team holds the record at the home ground, right. 36 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: That's right, exactly right, look at I think the second 37 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: most highest active winning streak and will rugby at a 38 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: certain ground. Bill Blacks owned that Inn Park of course, 39 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: with their record there now above fifty games, and they 40 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: also own the Murrayfield one as well, so pretty rare 41 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: that they can do that. And you know Scotland's been 42 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 2: talking a little bit of a big game this week, 43 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: but they know the All Blacks are presenter. Yeah, a 44 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: big challenge this week, but they hope that with the 45 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: recent history closing the gap against Bill Blacks last time 46 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 2: it was a nine point gap from memory. This time 47 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 2: of all that four points, they're hoping they might be 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: able to get one the way, but the All Blacks 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 2: obviously stand in their way of doing so. 50 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: Well on They had to quick look ants the lineup 51 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: and I see there's just one Barrett's brother left standing 52 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: in place of Skipper Scott. Josh Lord gets his start 53 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: at Locke, which is awesome to see. He was outstanding 54 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: last weekend. 55 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 2: He was, Yeah, absolutely and he gets his opportunity this 56 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 2: week and he played the majority of the game last week. 57 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: Still reusively inexperienced at Kiss level, only twenty four years 58 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: of age, Fabian Holand alongside him at twenty three. I'm 59 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: paking Sam Dowry on the bench twenty five and I 60 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 2: think they've only got about twenty five caps together of experience. 61 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: When you take out Scott Barrett, Patrick Poliplotto and two 62 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: pot Ye from the locking department. It leaves a little 63 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 2: bit of an experience, but you know, you're right. Josh 64 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: Lord stood up big time last week and is you know, 65 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 2: probably his big biggest Test match and best Test match 66 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: to date. Fabing and Holand was mad of the match. 67 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: He was excellent. So a big opportunity for these two again. 68 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: And then we saw Lester flaying and Nuku did a 69 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: bit of space set up the All Blacks first try 70 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: last week destructed with ball in hand really powerful, looking 71 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: forward to seeing what he can do. The other change 72 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: as well, Wallace of TEDI back into the run on 73 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 2: side at blind side slinker as well, but otherwise tinkering 74 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: to the run on side kept to a minimum by 75 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: Black's coach Scott Robertson. I think about fifty four minutes 76 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: of running time to that first spell stop start, big 77 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: stream not working. All everything that could slow the game 78 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: down basically did. Injuries in that first stel so meal 79 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: Blacks on I play at pace they do. They have 80 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: made that no secret and that includes running time at 81 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: the game, so they'll be hoping it goes a bit 82 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: more smoothly. But quicker Sunday morning user on time. 83 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: Best to leave you to it, Elliott Smith, because you've 84 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: got a date with the boss of Ended Rugby tonight. 85 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: He shouting your drinks. Geeesh, we swim in different circles. 86 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: No need for you get better work stories, so you 87 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: go and enjoy it. 88 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 2: We'll do as as you do when an Edinburgh yup. 89 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: Maybe a whiskey or something like that.
