1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: So the Hucker drama is back today, isn't it? Because

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Joe Marhler has now backtracked completely on what he said

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: and has apologized for it, and specifically has apologized to

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: New Zealand fans for in his words, mine excuse me,

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: my poorly articulated tweet earlier in the week, I meant

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: no malice New Zealand. What have you done? Are we

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: honestly that sensitive about the hucker that we can't handle it?

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: When a rugby prop right not known as the brains

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: of the bunch, a Rugby prop criticizes the hacker in

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: a sill little social media post on x we really

11
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: can't handle this?

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: What did we do to him? What did we do?

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: Did we bombard him on Twitter? Because I feel like

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: that's what happened here in it. That's why he deleted

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: his Twitter account for a while, isn't it. Listen? I

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: think that we may have to get a little bit

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: of a change going about how we perceive the all

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: Blacks hucker. Yes, it is special to us, and it

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: quite clearly is very special to the all blacks as well,

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: but it's not special to everybody, is it. I mean,

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: the rest of the world just has to put up

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: with it, don't they, And so maybe instead of being

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: so agro at them when they tell us that they

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: don't really like it, especially the British and especially Stephen Jones,

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: we should understand that they don't have to like it, right,

26
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: They don't have to put up with us, but they do.

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: We should actually be grateful that the Rugby Wild indulges

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: us the way that they do. They let us do

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: the hucker for a start, and then they let us

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: have all these rules about how other teams have to

31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: respond to the Haucker, how close they can get stuff

32
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: like that. They try to be respectful, they face the challenge,

33
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: they apologize profusely when a plane accidentally flies over the

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: top of the wrong time. They don't have to do

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: any of the stuff, and they definitely do not have

36
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: to like the thing, and we shouldn't be so sensitive

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: about it. So let's be honest about this, right.

38
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: We do the Haucker a lot nowadays because there are

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: a lot of international tests nowadays, and it is frankly

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: very nice that the rest of the world lets us

41
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: do it. So maybe a little less sensitivity, a little

42
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: bit more gratitude for more from hither Duplessy Allen Drive.
