1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Northern too well and truly underway. Tickle up with the

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Japanese last week to warm things up real deal this weekend,

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: it's England that twickers Patrick two pilot. Who's weatherus?

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning.

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: How's the week gone for you?

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: Very good? It's been good training where there hasn't been

7
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: too bad and yeah we're feeling good and confident leading

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: into a test.

9
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: How much? What sort of thinking is going on in

10
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: the team as far as the tour is concerned England

11
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: to start with that interesting Ireland. Second you finished with Italy,

12
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: you might be a bit soft mentally by then, I

13
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: mean is it a tricky thing to think about?

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, a very very much is quite tricky. I mean

15
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: from the outset you look at the whole for five weeks,

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: we've just at Japan and then you've got a tough

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: European schedule against England, Island in the French and then Italy.

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: So for us, I want to make it overpowering, so

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: we focus on each week, take each week as it comes,

20
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: and enjoy every day as it comes.

21
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: Good on you have you got a read on the side.

22
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: Let's start with England. Do you have a good sense

23
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 1: of what England are about at the moment yep.

24
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: Obviously we played them while they were finishing their season

25
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: in the middle of the year, and now that they

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 2: will play them at the start of the international season,

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: so they'll be a bit more fresh, and I think

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: they'll play similar to how they did in the middle

29
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: of the year, try and disrupt our set piece, kick

30
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: the ball quite a bit and try to dominate that way.

31
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: And Twickenham does that have its I mean, Twickenham is

32
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: an opponent all in itself, isn't it.

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: Yes, very noisy. The crowd comes into play quite a bit.

34
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: Wove been training quite a bit with a speaker on

35
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: meetings out on the field, so not quite the same,

36
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: but in terms of prep it will help a little bit.

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: I myself have played there a couple of times and

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: it's quite enjoyable, just sort of listening and embracing the noise. Yeah,

39
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: if we play well, there shouldn't be too much noise anyway.

40
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: How are you guys seeing it? Is it a season

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: of two halves? In other words, you've done you a

42
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: bit down in this part of the world and this

43
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: is a whole new thing. Or is this just a

44
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: continuation of the season of twenty four and therefore all

45
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: the wins and all the losses go to add up

46
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: in totality.

47
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a continuation. Obviously, want to get better every

48
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: test and we're trying to improve along the way. So

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: we're going to put a full stop to so different

50
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: games and different points of the season. I want to

51
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: carry on what we can.

52
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: What are you making of Razor? You're loving him?

53
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I enjoy him. It's fresh. I enjoy how he

54
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: sets the mindset, it sets the scene at the start

55
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: of the week. He's quite a funny man and he

56
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: loves the correct jokes here and here, so around the environment,

57
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: he's just himself.

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: Good stuff, all right, Mike, go well, appreciate it very much.
