What do you make of the Australians and what 73 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: they did and has that fundamentally changed the way you're 74 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: viewing this whole competition? 75 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, looks you've got some talent. It's a nice sort 76 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: of sort of turned that corner, you know, the internal narrative, 77 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: sort of an external narrative changed a little bit. It 78 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: just shows how tough test footy is and the fine 79 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: balance of a bouncing ball, a pass, things can swing. 80 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: Chess matches so quickly with the cards is you know 81 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 2: yellow cards is one part of that, but it just 82 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: it just shows on the day you've got to be 83 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 2: added in Australia.

Are you expecting anything from the Argentinians? I mean 86 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: I still see them as that they can be good. 87 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes they're not as good. Are they going to give 88 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: you something this week that you can't see coming or 89 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: is it going to be like last week. 90 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: Don't have a response.
