1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,760 Speaker 1: So it's turning out to be a roller coaster old 2 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: season for the All Blacks fans. Dispatch having dispatched the French, 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: Argentina tripped us up at least once a que the Yanks, 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: but then we put it all right, didn't we? South 5 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: Africa epic a week ago? Fantastic and then until saiday night, 6 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: it all came undone record loss. So where are we at? 7 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,159 Speaker 1: S John Corwin's with us? 8 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 2: John Morning, Well, must apologize Mike for the other day. 9 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 2: No excuse, may slept. I actually made myself did twenty 10 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 2: push ups, mate, So I apologize with one arm. 11 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: I hope is there is a loss? A loss? Or 12 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,159 Speaker 1: was there something odd about that? 13 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: Oh? Very odd? To be fair, Mikelake. Normally at the 14 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 2: end of an All Black loss, you'll come out and say, oh, 15 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: maybe it was high ball. You know, we've got one 16 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 2: thing to work on. It was a critical moment. But 17 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 2: I think the second half on the weekend was, you know, 18 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 2: our line out dysfunctioned at times, we got put under 19 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: pressure at the scrum our high ball wasn't great, and 20 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure the leaders will be looking themselves 21 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 2: and said, well, how do we sort of can continue 22 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: to concede points. There seem to be some nervousness in 23 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: the field, So normally we go away saying, oh, can 24 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 2: we can fix that up? We'd be right. But I 25 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: think this one is a little bit more serious for 26 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: the team to look at. They'll be reeling everyone's really, 27 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 2: I think, because there's such a surprise. 28 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: The schizophrenic nature of it though, how can you do 29 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: what they did a week ago and then a week 30 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: later it's completely different. 31 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's a leadership. I think it's an 32 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: understanding of what we're trying to achieve and what happens 33 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: in crisis. So you know normally what would happen as 34 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: you'd turn to a kicking game, and I think or 35 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 2: have a plan about what you're going to do. We 36 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: know the DNA of South Africa when they get under pressure, 37 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 2: they're going to wait for penalty, kick you in the corner, 38 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: do it more. We know that. I think under pressure, 39 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: the biggest learning for the team will be, Okay, what's 40 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: going to happen when we start getting behind because normally 41 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: we do this to other sides. Normally, what happens when 42 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 2: we see a crack bomb? You know we'll put forty 43 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,279 Speaker 2: points on people. But you know, thirty odd unanswered points 44 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: is you need to look at everything. You need to 45 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: have a really serious look at Okay, there's not one 46 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,919 Speaker 2: thing that we need to work on. That's the problem. 47 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: So I think leadership kicking game under pressure. What are 48 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: we going to do when we're behind by ten points? 49 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: Which is a lot in a Test match? 50 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: But a good competition though, isn't it. Everyone's beaten everybody. 51 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: How good and there's no reason to panic. We don't 52 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: need to panic. The South African side is an amazing side. 53 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: They've been changing the team a lot. I thought they 54 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: got the balance right on the weekend. Australia continues to improve, 55 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: but it's still all to be won and that's what 56 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 2: we want. You know, we can't always think about rugby 57 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: and us dominating and that hasn't happened for a few years. 58 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: But it's a great competition and that's what we want. 59 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: I mean, there's everything to play. We've still got another 60 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: game at Eton Park against the improving Australia side, so 61 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 2: she's all to play. 62 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: For good stuff. Nice to catch ups, John Cowan, whether's Mike, 63 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: don't forget South Africa? Conceee the thirty eight points without 64 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: reply against Australia just a few weeks ago. That's my point. 65 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: Look at the competition, it's fantastic. 66 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 2: For more from the mic Asking Breakfast listen live to 67 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 2: news talks it'd be from six am weekdays, or follow 68 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: the podcast on iHeartRadio
