But the 62 00:03:23,427 --> 00:03:26,827 Speaker 2: All Blacks eventually getting home thirty one points to twenty 63 00:03:26,867 --> 00:03:29,107 Speaker 2: eight in Sydney last night, let's bring it All Blacks 64 00:03:29,147 --> 00:03:32,627 Speaker 2: Assistant coach Jason Holland. Jason, thanks for your time. You've 65 00:03:32,667 --> 00:03:35,867 Speaker 2: given this one the overnight test. How do you assess 66 00:03:36,347 --> 00:03:38,027 Speaker 2: last night's game in general terms? 67 00:03:38,027 --> 00:03:43,307 Speaker 5: First of all, yeah, obviously you're really you're really happy 68 00:03:43,307 --> 00:03:46,267 Speaker 5: with what we did early in the game. You know, 69 00:03:46,307 --> 00:03:48,227 Speaker 5: we were pretty accurate at what we did and then 70 00:03:48,227 --> 00:03:49,387 Speaker 5: we're able to hold on the board and put the 71 00:03:49,387 --> 00:03:52,587 Speaker 5: Ausies under massive pressure, which we saw on the scoreboard. 72 00:03:52,627 --> 00:03:57,027 Speaker 5: But you know, again a little bit around the second 73 00:03:57,067 --> 00:04:00,347 Speaker 5: half around not being able to hold onto the ball 74 00:04:00,387 --> 00:04:02,147 Speaker 5: and plan the right parts of the field and in 75 00:04:02,267 --> 00:04:06,387 Speaker 5: the second half was you know, it was something we 76 00:04:06,387 --> 00:04:07,707 Speaker 5: we need to figure out and we need to make 77 00:04:07,707 --> 00:04:10,187 Speaker 5: sure that we can hold onto the ball. So it's 78 00:04:10,187 --> 00:04:11,347 Speaker 5: a bit of a spiral, do isn't it. Or we 79 00:04:11,387 --> 00:04:13,387 Speaker 5: don't have the ball and the opposition give them our 80 00:04:13,467 --> 00:04:17,187 Speaker 5: half and cards are coming from that. So yeah, it's 81 00:04:17,187 --> 00:04:19,707 Speaker 5: definitely an area we'll focus on. But at the end 82 00:04:19,747 --> 00:04:23,747 Speaker 5: of the day, pretty nicely working out of Australia with 83 00:04:23,867 --> 00:04:24,467 Speaker 5: low cup. 84 00:04:24,587 --> 00:04:28,547 Speaker 2: Indeed, the fast art Jase twenty one nil after sixteen minutes. 85 00:04:28,867 --> 00:04:30,267 Speaker 2: What do you put it down to? What was so 86 00:04:30,307 --> 00:04:31,627 Speaker 2: good in the first fifteen minutes? 87 00:04:32,867 --> 00:04:35,507 Speaker 5: Just nice, as simple and accurate. You know, we had 88 00:04:35,507 --> 00:04:38,147 Speaker 5: a couple of key, key plans around how we're going 89 00:04:38,187 --> 00:04:40,307 Speaker 5: to take them from ship peace and they got some 90 00:04:40,347 --> 00:04:43,147 Speaker 5: real good go forward and that early on and again, 91 00:04:43,187 --> 00:04:44,867 Speaker 5: as I I keep saying, the power position, but we 92 00:04:44,947 --> 00:04:47,547 Speaker 5: held onto the ball really well and eventually broke them 93 00:04:47,587 --> 00:04:50,027 Speaker 5: down and I think it was twenty one l and 94 00:04:50,147 --> 00:04:52,827 Speaker 5: then you know, it probably could easily have been, you know, 95 00:04:52,867 --> 00:04:55,387 Speaker 5: doubled up by halftime. If we continue with that accuracy. 96 00:04:57,187 --> 00:05:00,187 Speaker 2: Does frustration start to sit in when you create opportunities 97 00:05:00,227 --> 00:05:02,907 Speaker 2: but can't execute the final part of it to finish 98 00:05:02,907 --> 00:05:03,267 Speaker 2: them off. 99 00:05:04,347 --> 00:05:06,947 Speaker 5: Oh, I suppose it just sharpens us shar their focus 100 00:05:06,987 --> 00:05:07,467 Speaker 5: during the weeks. 101 00:05:07,507 --> 00:05:07,667 Speaker 6: You know. 102 00:05:07,747 --> 00:05:10,947 Speaker 5: We it's great to know that we're creating the opportunities 103 00:05:10,987 --> 00:05:12,587 Speaker 5: when we get accurate, and we just got to make 104 00:05:12,587 --> 00:05:15,307 Speaker 5: sure that we're putting the boys in these situations during 105 00:05:15,347 --> 00:05:16,987 Speaker 5: the week where they're under pressure but they've got to 106 00:05:16,987 --> 00:05:18,907 Speaker 5: pick the right pass or the final pass and the 107 00:05:18,987 --> 00:05:20,947 Speaker 5: little things that we didn't quite get right last night. 108 00:05:21,067 --> 00:05:24,667 Speaker 5: So I wouldn't say frustration. I think just sort of 109 00:05:24,707 --> 00:05:27,667 Speaker 5: sharpens your focus around what's really important is you get 110 00:05:27,707 --> 00:05:29,347 Speaker 5: sort of eight or nine games into our season. 111 00:05:29,627 --> 00:05:32,027 Speaker 2: How do you create that pressure in a training situation? 112 00:05:33,587 --> 00:05:34,947 Speaker 7: Oh, look, there's. 113 00:05:35,507 --> 00:05:38,227 Speaker 5: We've got guys outside the twenty three. You ain't getting 114 00:05:38,267 --> 00:05:42,027 Speaker 5: picked who are outstanding during the week and giving pictures 115 00:05:42,347 --> 00:05:44,987 Speaker 5: or putting guys under pressure in their training and have 116 00:05:45,027 --> 00:05:48,307 Speaker 5: fifteen D fifteen. So we're getting them during the week 117 00:05:48,347 --> 00:05:51,387 Speaker 5: and it's going to make sure that when that moment 118 00:05:51,467 --> 00:05:53,147 Speaker 5: is there to pull trigger, we're pulling the trigger. 119 00:05:53,587 --> 00:05:55,467 Speaker 2: How far away do you think you are from from 120 00:05:55,547 --> 00:05:58,747 Speaker 2: executing the rugby you want to for for longer periods 121 00:05:58,787 --> 00:06:00,227 Speaker 2: for close to eighty minutes. 122 00:06:01,387 --> 00:06:06,107 Speaker 5: Look, hopefully, hopefully hopefully this weekend. Look, we you know, 123 00:06:06,147 --> 00:06:09,827 Speaker 5: we was working really hard. We're creating really good opportunity 124 00:06:09,947 --> 00:06:12,307 Speaker 5: and I think we're working at the little parts and 125 00:06:12,347 --> 00:06:14,067 Speaker 5: as I say, we'll see some really good pictures in 126 00:06:14,067 --> 00:06:16,827 Speaker 5: their review this week around what it looks like when 127 00:06:16,827 --> 00:06:18,627 Speaker 5: we do finished and what are the little little bits 128 00:06:18,627 --> 00:06:21,587 Speaker 5: of detail when we don't. And there's some pretty clear 129 00:06:21,627 --> 00:06:24,467 Speaker 5: pictures around just just a little bits of skill execution 130 00:06:24,587 --> 00:06:26,947 Speaker 5: that are letting us down up vital times and picking 131 00:06:27,027 --> 00:06:27,467 Speaker 5: the games. 132 00:06:28,067 --> 00:06:30,187 Speaker 2: Is that is that something that you can you can 133 00:06:30,227 --> 00:06:32,947 Speaker 2: coach though? Then these are New Zealand's best players, So 134 00:06:32,987 --> 00:06:35,547 Speaker 2: are you really just asking them to be you know 135 00:06:35,867 --> 00:06:38,787 Speaker 2: clearer in their in their mindset? How how do you see, 136 00:06:38,867 --> 00:06:40,867 Speaker 2: you know, get to a point where they are doing 137 00:06:41,027 --> 00:06:44,347 Speaker 2: what you what you know they can Yeah. 138 00:06:44,147 --> 00:06:47,707 Speaker 5: Look, I think it was a pretty clear it's just 139 00:06:47,747 --> 00:06:50,907 Speaker 5: around putting a different coach we can coach around what 140 00:06:50,947 --> 00:06:52,707 Speaker 5: we're looking for and what are the little cues to 141 00:06:53,307 --> 00:06:55,627 Speaker 5: give a pass or not give a pass or by 142 00:06:55,627 --> 00:06:56,787 Speaker 5: the end of they we're just going to make sure 143 00:06:56,787 --> 00:06:58,707 Speaker 5: we're getting lots of little skill hits and putting them 144 00:06:58,787 --> 00:07:01,587 Speaker 5: under the unstructured space where we've got to pick the 145 00:07:01,667 --> 00:07:03,587 Speaker 5: right pass. And we saw three or four of those 146 00:07:03,627 --> 00:07:07,667 Speaker 5: we didn't quite catch the last pass, so little bits. 147 00:07:07,667 --> 00:07:10,227 Speaker 5: We will put the balls in constructured spaces this week 148 00:07:10,267 --> 00:07:12,827 Speaker 5: to to help us execute that. 149 00:07:12,867 --> 00:07:16,067 Speaker 2: On Suttley Damien McKenzie last night, just a question about him. 150 00:07:16,067 --> 00:07:18,107 Speaker 2: There were a couple of errand passes that he threw 151 00:07:18,147 --> 00:07:20,667 Speaker 2: but he also of course creates opportunities, which is I 152 00:07:20,667 --> 00:07:24,027 Speaker 2: guess has you know, has great superpower. If you ask 153 00:07:24,107 --> 00:07:26,347 Speaker 2: him Jase to work on his accuracy, do you lose 154 00:07:26,347 --> 00:07:27,667 Speaker 2: a bit of his unpredictability. 155 00:07:28,827 --> 00:07:33,027 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's right. It's like he's de mix for 156 00:07:33,147 --> 00:07:36,067 Speaker 5: aware of all the all the little parts of his 157 00:07:36,147 --> 00:07:38,067 Speaker 5: game where he wants to get better. But mate, what 158 00:07:38,107 --> 00:07:40,187 Speaker 5: he's creating for us as outstanding and some of the 159 00:07:40,187 --> 00:07:42,787 Speaker 5: forest lines that are helping him and the looks of 160 00:07:42,827 --> 00:07:44,787 Speaker 5: will Jordan run those good lines out of the back 161 00:07:44,827 --> 00:07:47,707 Speaker 5: of number They're creating good space. But you know, look, 162 00:07:48,547 --> 00:07:51,707 Speaker 5: at no time do you try and put any any 163 00:07:51,707 --> 00:07:53,627 Speaker 5: player into a little box. They've got to be who 164 00:07:53,627 --> 00:07:55,707 Speaker 5: they are and just keep working away at the little 165 00:07:55,707 --> 00:07:57,747 Speaker 5: bits that are keep making them better. 166 00:07:58,387 --> 00:07:59,947 Speaker 2: Second half, even though it was called back for a 167 00:07:59,947 --> 00:08:02,747 Speaker 2: forward pass eventually, how much did you enjoy the intent 168 00:08:02,827 --> 00:08:05,387 Speaker 2: the execution of that end to end move that saw 169 00:08:05,467 --> 00:08:07,107 Speaker 2: Cortez dot down. 170 00:08:08,107 --> 00:08:10,347 Speaker 5: I love that, Love that, Like obviously we're driving the 171 00:08:10,347 --> 00:08:12,987 Speaker 5: boys or trigger as I said on on the pictures 172 00:08:12,987 --> 00:08:15,667 Speaker 5: they see and they did that perfectly, and love the 173 00:08:15,707 --> 00:08:17,827 Speaker 5: intent the boys to I think there's four or five 174 00:08:17,867 --> 00:08:20,507 Speaker 5: black jerseys next steaming up on the inside of themat 175 00:08:20,547 --> 00:08:21,307 Speaker 5: when he started that. 176 00:08:21,507 --> 00:08:23,507 Speaker 7: So that's that's the probably we. 177 00:08:23,427 --> 00:08:26,587 Speaker 5: Want to play. So Chid, it's great to see that. 178 00:08:26,667 --> 00:08:28,747 Speaker 5: And as you say, as we've talked around, we're just 179 00:08:28,747 --> 00:08:30,947 Speaker 5: going to keep making sure that that last pass or 180 00:08:31,427 --> 00:08:34,227 Speaker 5: the last little bit or the last breakdown where we're 181 00:08:34,227 --> 00:08:36,147 Speaker 5: winning those races and making sure we finish it. 182 00:08:36,827 --> 00:08:38,667 Speaker 2: Why do you think it's been so hard to score 183 00:08:38,667 --> 00:08:39,987 Speaker 2: points in the last twenty minutes. 184 00:08:41,867 --> 00:08:46,547 Speaker 5: Yeah, Look, it's a little bit of you know, well, 185 00:08:46,587 --> 00:08:48,227 Speaker 5: as I say, we'll have a look at some pictures, 186 00:08:48,267 --> 00:08:53,027 Speaker 5: but there's there's some things around in third position and 187 00:08:53,147 --> 00:08:55,787 Speaker 5: around how we hold onto the ball in those periods. 188 00:08:55,827 --> 00:08:57,987 Speaker 5: So I think what you're what you're seeing in the 189 00:08:58,067 --> 00:09:00,547 Speaker 5: last twenty or thirty minutes there of the game last 190 00:09:00,627 --> 00:09:03,907 Speaker 5: night was was us losing the ball after two or 191 00:09:03,907 --> 00:09:05,987 Speaker 5: three phases from our lineer or our scrum. You know, 192 00:09:06,027 --> 00:09:08,387 Speaker 5: we get turned over a breakdown, So just a little 193 00:09:08,427 --> 00:09:11,347 Speaker 5: things around holding on to the ball again missing and 194 00:09:11,387 --> 00:09:13,867 Speaker 5: then we making sure we get out of our own end. Well, 195 00:09:13,987 --> 00:09:16,227 Speaker 5: you know, we we did that really well in the 196 00:09:16,307 --> 00:09:18,227 Speaker 5: first in the first half and then second half we 197 00:09:18,347 --> 00:09:20,347 Speaker 5: just got a little bit inaccurate around how we get 198 00:09:20,347 --> 00:09:22,467 Speaker 5: out of our own end. And so it's a combination 199 00:09:22,587 --> 00:09:24,947 Speaker 5: of having the ball and making sure in the right 200 00:09:25,107 --> 00:09:26,627 Speaker 5: right parts of the field are. 201 00:09:26,547 --> 00:09:28,267 Speaker 2: You getting the impact you want from the bench. 202 00:09:30,147 --> 00:09:32,907 Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I think I think we're working really hard 203 00:09:32,907 --> 00:09:34,947 Speaker 5: on you. If you look at impact off the pinch 204 00:09:35,067 --> 00:09:38,267 Speaker 5: last night. I thought that t J was unbelievable when 205 00:09:38,267 --> 00:09:40,907 Speaker 5: he came off the pinch last night in the defense 206 00:09:40,987 --> 00:09:43,667 Speaker 5: of space. He you know, he saved us a few 207 00:09:43,667 --> 00:09:46,747 Speaker 5: times last night. So there's there's a good little bits 208 00:09:46,747 --> 00:09:48,827 Speaker 5: of individual off the bench. It's it's good to see, 209 00:09:48,827 --> 00:09:51,787 Speaker 5: but it's just around as a collective making sure that 210 00:09:51,867 --> 00:09:54,507 Speaker 5: we're you know, we have the ball for long periods. 211 00:09:54,907 --> 00:09:56,387 Speaker 2: What sort of emotions are you feeling up in the 212 00:09:56,387 --> 00:09:57,747 Speaker 2: box when you go down to thirteen? 213 00:10:01,907 --> 00:10:06,987 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that was maybe boys just really but on 214 00:10:06,987 --> 00:10:08,787 Speaker 5: the mouth gat of it there, and I was sure, 215 00:10:08,987 --> 00:10:10,707 Speaker 5: you know, we're already happy what the boys did. We 216 00:10:10,827 --> 00:10:13,347 Speaker 5: went the under fitting. But you know that it's an 217 00:10:13,387 --> 00:10:15,707 Speaker 5: example of the air of just little things. We've got 218 00:10:15,747 --> 00:10:19,027 Speaker 5: to be smarter, you know, Caleb was awesome. I thoughten 219 00:10:19,067 --> 00:10:21,827 Speaker 5: has in the game last night, But just little things 220 00:10:21,867 --> 00:10:23,667 Speaker 5: like that, Well, you have a lets of concentration and 221 00:10:23,707 --> 00:10:26,667 Speaker 5: it puts massive pressure on the team. So yeah, it's 222 00:10:26,707 --> 00:10:30,067 Speaker 5: not ideal go fitting. But you know, on the other 223 00:10:30,267 --> 00:10:31,947 Speaker 5: other side of it was great how the boys got 224 00:10:32,027 --> 00:10:32,387 Speaker 5: set out. 225 00:10:32,627 --> 00:10:35,147 Speaker 2: Yeah, character building, I think they call it. Jordi Barrett 226 00:10:35,627 --> 00:10:37,427 Speaker 2: went off at halftime with the knee injury. Is he 227 00:10:37,547 --> 00:10:39,147 Speaker 2: unlikely for Wellington? 228 00:10:39,267 --> 00:10:39,587 Speaker 6: Jason? 229 00:10:40,907 --> 00:10:44,787 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think it's a little media're not too bad, 230 00:10:44,867 --> 00:10:47,507 Speaker 5: but you're very unlikely for next week all right. 231 00:10:47,507 --> 00:10:49,867 Speaker 2: And the wind shows up the Bleater Slow Cup. Does 232 00:10:49,947 --> 00:10:51,787 Speaker 2: that give you the chance without asking you to name 233 00:10:51,867 --> 00:10:53,907 Speaker 2: the team, to tinker a bit and give some players 234 00:10:53,947 --> 00:10:54,867 Speaker 2: some minutes next weekend? 235 00:10:56,587 --> 00:10:58,467 Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I think we'll have that come when we 236 00:10:58,547 --> 00:11:01,667 Speaker 5: get to Wellington. You know, there has been guys that 237 00:11:02,187 --> 00:11:04,427 Speaker 5: you know, there's not much between anybody and selections, so 238 00:11:05,507 --> 00:11:07,067 Speaker 5: you know it might be aptly for one or two 239 00:11:07,107 --> 00:11:08,107 Speaker 5: guys to give an opportunity. 240 00:11:08,467 --> 00:11:10,267 Speaker 2: All Right, we'll save travels, Jase, look forward to seeing 241 00:11:10,307 --> 00:11:13,067 Speaker 2: you back here in the Capitol. Yes, thank you, Thanks Jason. 242 00:11:13,147 --> 00:11:17,387 Speaker 2: Jason Holland. They're assistant coach of the All Blacks twelve eighteen. Right, 243 00:11:17,427 --> 00:11:19,787 Speaker 2: you've given it the overnight test. You've heard from Jason Holland. 244 00:11:19,787 --> 00:11:21,467 Speaker 2: There you might have watched it back as I have, 245 00:11:21,707 --> 00:11:23,627 Speaker 2: or watched a few highlights, chatted about it to a 246 00:11:23,667 --> 00:11:26,427 Speaker 2: few of the friends and family. Your chance to react now, 247 00:11:26,547 --> 00:11:30,467 Speaker 2: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty lines are open. In 248 00:11:31,147 --> 00:11:33,347 Speaker 2: reading the pulse of the rugby public, I guess since 249 00:11:33,467 --> 00:11:36,027 Speaker 2: the full time Whist saw blue last night, just looking 250 00:11:36,067 --> 00:11:39,747 Speaker 2: at some online rhetoric and other comments and bits and pieces, 251 00:11:39,787 --> 00:11:42,867 Speaker 2: and I guess the conversations I've had with with some 252 00:11:42,987 --> 00:11:44,827 Speaker 2: of my rugby friends, I think the word I'd use 253 00:11:44,867 --> 00:11:49,347 Speaker 2: would be frustration. I honestly thought the All Blacks would 254 00:11:49,347 --> 00:11:51,387 Speaker 2: be better than they have been so far in twenty 255 00:11:51,467 --> 00:11:53,827 Speaker 2: twenty four and at the moment, by their own admission, 256 00:11:53,827 --> 00:11:55,667 Speaker 2: as you heard it from Jason Holland there and in 257 00:11:55,707 --> 00:11:59,067 Speaker 2: Scott Robertson's postmatch, they are not where they want to be. 258 00:12:00,507 --> 00:12:02,507 Speaker 2: We see glimpses of it, and more than glimpses of 259 00:12:02,587 --> 00:12:05,147 Speaker 2: it at times decent periods of great rugby. The first 260 00:12:05,187 --> 00:12:11,107 Speaker 2: fifteen minutes last night superb against an admittedly poor defensive side. 261 00:12:11,147 --> 00:12:13,427 Speaker 2: It was twenty one zerl. I thought we were going 262 00:12:13,467 --> 00:12:16,347 Speaker 2: to get seventy or eighty at that point, but of 263 00:12:16,427 --> 00:12:21,267 Speaker 2: course Australia sorted themselves out. This inability of the All 264 00:12:21,307 --> 00:12:24,147 Speaker 2: Blacks though to score points after the fifty five minute 265 00:12:24,187 --> 00:12:30,227 Speaker 2: mark is just utterly puzzling. It's frustrating too. My ZEDB 266 00:12:30,347 --> 00:12:33,187 Speaker 2: colleague in christ jatch Nick Beorley tweeted out the stats 267 00:12:33,267 --> 00:12:35,867 Speaker 2: last night. These are the times where the All Blacks 268 00:12:35,907 --> 00:12:39,827 Speaker 2: have scored their last points in the five Rugby Championship 269 00:12:39,867 --> 00:12:43,747 Speaker 2: matches that they've played. Argentina in the first Test fifty 270 00:12:43,787 --> 00:12:46,867 Speaker 2: three minutes, Argentina in the second Test forty three minutes, 271 00:12:47,347 --> 00:12:50,827 Speaker 2: South Africa in the first Test fifty three, South Africa 272 00:12:50,907 --> 00:12:53,587 Speaker 2: in the second Test fifty nine and last night against 273 00:12:53,587 --> 00:12:56,827 Speaker 2: Australia the forty fifth minute. That is the time on 274 00:12:56,947 --> 00:13:00,387 Speaker 2: the clock when the All Blacks scored their final points 275 00:13:00,987 --> 00:13:04,787 Speaker 2: in each of the Rugby Championship tests. So it surely 276 00:13:05,027 --> 00:13:08,427 Speaker 2: is something and Jason Holland even said it then that 277 00:13:08,587 --> 00:13:12,947 Speaker 2: they are aware of and are trying to address. And 278 00:13:13,027 --> 00:13:14,507 Speaker 2: the word that's getting used a lot at the moment 279 00:13:14,667 --> 00:13:18,147 Speaker 2: is execution. The opportunities are being created, there is absolutely 280 00:13:18,227 --> 00:13:21,307 Speaker 2: no doubt about that. But the final pass, the accuracy 281 00:13:21,427 --> 00:13:25,027 Speaker 2: and key attacking moments, the micro decisions which can be 282 00:13:25,947 --> 00:13:29,667 Speaker 2: so crucial, they are definitely things to work on. Definitely 283 00:13:29,747 --> 00:13:32,067 Speaker 2: things to work on. Your thoughts on that are eight 284 00:13:32,147 --> 00:13:34,907 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty couple of positives first fifteen 285 00:13:34,907 --> 00:13:37,667 Speaker 2: minutes of course, as mentioned, the defense of steel to 286 00:13:37,747 --> 00:13:40,427 Speaker 2: hold on at the end with fourteen even thirteen for 287 00:13:40,547 --> 00:13:42,707 Speaker 2: a while despite the fact they should never have been 288 00:13:42,747 --> 00:13:45,947 Speaker 2: in that position. Line defense and turnovers a crucial times 289 00:13:46,027 --> 00:13:48,747 Speaker 2: late in the game. They were important and there has 290 00:13:48,787 --> 00:13:50,507 Speaker 2: to be a large amount of credit given and pride 291 00:13:50,547 --> 00:13:53,627 Speaker 2: taken from things like that. Individuals. Wallace Titi I thought 292 00:13:53,707 --> 00:13:56,147 Speaker 2: was excellent, really really good. The All Blacks have been 293 00:13:56,187 --> 00:13:59,147 Speaker 2: looking for a solution at Blindside. I think they've found it. 294 00:13:59,227 --> 00:14:00,747 Speaker 2: And he's not even really a number six, is e 295 00:14:00,867 --> 00:14:03,667 Speaker 2: All of his starts this year have been at number eight. 296 00:14:04,267 --> 00:14:07,147 Speaker 2: But you have to think Wallace Tts must be part 297 00:14:07,187 --> 00:14:10,547 Speaker 2: of our best loose forward trio moving forward, and the 298 00:14:10,587 --> 00:14:12,547 Speaker 2: decision to pick him ahead of Hoskin Sotuto in the 299 00:14:12,587 --> 00:14:15,587 Speaker 2: All Blacks this year is proven to be the right 300 00:14:15,667 --> 00:14:19,547 Speaker 2: one and Cortez lovetim a good again. I'm not sure 301 00:14:19,547 --> 00:14:21,627 Speaker 2: what the plan is for TJ. Pettinada for the end 302 00:14:21,627 --> 00:14:24,267 Speaker 2: of year tour. I haven't seen it mentioned whether or 303 00:14:24,387 --> 00:14:26,867 Speaker 2: not he will be considered for that, whether he wants 304 00:14:26,907 --> 00:14:28,667 Speaker 2: to go on the end of year tour, whether next 305 00:14:28,707 --> 00:14:33,147 Speaker 2: weekend and Wellington might be his swan song. Cam Roygard 306 00:14:33,227 --> 00:14:35,027 Speaker 2: just about ready to return. I think he joins the 307 00:14:35,067 --> 00:14:36,987 Speaker 2: squad this week to train with them and roy Guard 308 00:14:37,027 --> 00:14:39,347 Speaker 2: write them a hope them that feels like the trio 309 00:14:39,467 --> 00:14:41,987 Speaker 2: to take us forward from here and loved them again 310 00:14:42,027 --> 00:14:44,307 Speaker 2: last night I think was very very good.

The lines tend to clog up for whatever 334 00:15:46,067 --> 00:15:48,427 Speaker 2: reason at the back end of the hour mark kick 335 00:15:48,547 --> 00:15:48,827 Speaker 2: us off. 336 00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:53,347 Speaker 8: Yeah, it was pretty much a similar game with the 337 00:15:53,707 --> 00:15:56,707 Speaker 8: spring Box Pumas, but the Pumas got up. That's a 338 00:15:56,747 --> 00:15:59,827 Speaker 8: great game, really really entertaining. I think the Pumas, you know, 339 00:15:59,907 --> 00:16:02,627 Speaker 8: you good my passion that it's fantastic at the moment, 340 00:16:03,147 --> 00:16:05,107 Speaker 8: you know, been beating the all Blacks in the spring 341 00:16:05,187 --> 00:16:08,467 Speaker 8: Box and you know a very short time. I think 342 00:16:08,507 --> 00:16:09,947 Speaker 8: they're really progressing quite well. 343 00:16:09,987 --> 00:16:13,067 Speaker 9: And it's just their consistency. 344 00:16:13,707 --> 00:16:15,787 Speaker 2: It's sorry, mate, It's just their consistency, isn't it. If 345 00:16:15,787 --> 00:16:18,747 Speaker 2: they could string you know, results together, like like you say, 346 00:16:18,787 --> 00:16:20,587 Speaker 2: they were good and beating us in Wellington, but then 347 00:16:20,587 --> 00:16:23,347 Speaker 2: in Auckland the following week, they you know, they did not. 348 00:16:23,467 --> 00:16:25,267 Speaker 2: I don't think they fell off the cliff necessarily, but 349 00:16:25,667 --> 00:16:27,707 Speaker 2: certainly the All Blacks you know, came over the top 350 00:16:27,747 --> 00:16:29,587 Speaker 2: of them. Look if they can back up what they 351 00:16:29,627 --> 00:16:32,547 Speaker 2: did this morning in Argentina in nell Spray next week 352 00:16:32,587 --> 00:16:35,987 Speaker 2: when they play the spring Box again, then I think 353 00:16:35,987 --> 00:16:37,507 Speaker 2: we're looking at a team that could be one of 354 00:16:37,547 --> 00:16:39,787 Speaker 2: the you know, one of the big, big improvers. We've 355 00:16:39,787 --> 00:16:42,867 Speaker 2: always waited and wanted them to be. This way, maybe 356 00:16:42,907 --> 00:16:45,227 Speaker 2: they are starting to find their feet if they can 357 00:16:45,307 --> 00:16:46,267 Speaker 2: find their consistency. 358 00:16:47,747 --> 00:16:51,307 Speaker 8: Yeah, it wasn't It wasn't the box first team. I 359 00:16:51,427 --> 00:16:53,427 Speaker 8: mean they you know, hit a lot of the villains 360 00:16:53,467 --> 00:16:55,627 Speaker 8: and the and the kicker could have won the box 361 00:16:55,707 --> 00:16:58,227 Speaker 8: the game was probably one of the worst kicks of 362 00:16:58,387 --> 00:16:59,587 Speaker 8: single international rugby. 363 00:16:59,867 --> 00:17:01,787 Speaker 2: He shanked, didn't he He shanked it. I don't know 364 00:17:01,827 --> 00:17:02,427 Speaker 2: what he was doing. 365 00:17:03,307 --> 00:17:05,987 Speaker 8: I haven't seen anything like that for a very long time. 366 00:17:06,507 --> 00:17:09,467 Speaker 8: I mean, I guess I criticized McKenzie for missing it. 367 00:17:09,747 --> 00:17:12,107 Speaker 8: It wasn't as easy as that kit kick, but it 368 00:17:12,307 --> 00:17:14,747 Speaker 8: was yeah, not good. But yeah, as far as the 369 00:17:14,787 --> 00:17:18,427 Speaker 8: All Blacks go, I think they're lacking a bit of leadership, 370 00:17:18,507 --> 00:17:20,387 Speaker 8: you know, like I mean, I guess we go. When 371 00:17:20,427 --> 00:17:23,387 Speaker 8: I think back to Richie mccawy and his on the 372 00:17:23,507 --> 00:17:27,707 Speaker 8: field coaching, game control was just as such a high level. 373 00:17:28,147 --> 00:17:30,867 Speaker 8: They're probably never going to find anyone as good as that. Again, 374 00:17:31,027 --> 00:17:34,027 Speaker 8: but I think that's one of the things lacking, you know, 375 00:17:34,267 --> 00:17:37,467 Speaker 8: just control the game during the game, you know. And 376 00:17:37,547 --> 00:17:39,307 Speaker 8: I think that's I don't know what, I don't know 377 00:17:39,347 --> 00:17:41,787 Speaker 8: what's happening at the end of games where I think 378 00:17:41,867 --> 00:17:45,587 Speaker 8: someone that yesterday about bringing on the stubs, but that 379 00:17:45,827 --> 00:17:48,987 Speaker 8: like Africa doing, you know, having having a game plan. 380 00:17:49,107 --> 00:17:51,627 Speaker 8: There is things to me to be quite important in 381 00:17:51,667 --> 00:17:54,907 Speaker 8: this stage because really the performances of the All Blacks 382 00:17:54,947 --> 00:17:58,707 Speaker 8: in the last you know, second half of the second half, 383 00:17:59,347 --> 00:18:02,547 Speaker 8: it's pretty pretty average, isn't it it is? 384 00:18:03,147 --> 00:18:06,227 Speaker 2: And yeah, the the impact of the bench and the 385 00:18:06,467 --> 00:18:08,787 Speaker 2: use of the bench really interest me. Make the one 386 00:18:09,027 --> 00:18:11,107 Speaker 2: thing I noticed last night I had pointed out to me. 387 00:18:11,147 --> 00:18:13,427 Speaker 2: But it also not just was Tyrol Lomax for the 388 00:18:13,507 --> 00:18:16,107 Speaker 2: second week in a row or the second test in 389 00:18:16,147 --> 00:18:19,227 Speaker 2: a row. Rather he was he was left on until 390 00:18:19,267 --> 00:18:22,507 Speaker 2: I think about the seventieth minute. It's pretty rare to 391 00:18:22,587 --> 00:18:24,827 Speaker 2: see a front rower play seventy minutes in a Test 392 00:18:24,867 --> 00:18:25,547 Speaker 2: match these days. 393 00:18:26,787 --> 00:18:30,347 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, And I mean I think the caller yesterday 394 00:18:30,427 --> 00:18:32,867 Speaker 8: had it right. I think the Box has got their cubs, 395 00:18:33,707 --> 00:18:35,587 Speaker 8: you know, the way they use these subs. You know, 396 00:18:36,187 --> 00:18:38,947 Speaker 8: it was a bit of a gimmick the old bomb squad, 397 00:18:38,987 --> 00:18:42,707 Speaker 8: but man, it's effective. And I think maybe we haven't 398 00:18:42,707 --> 00:18:44,547 Speaker 8: got the depth of the South Africa at the moment, 399 00:18:44,627 --> 00:18:46,747 Speaker 8: to be fair. But you know, that's one of the 400 00:18:47,787 --> 00:18:50,667 Speaker 8: coming on the estray. And because I thought the Wallaby 401 00:18:51,107 --> 00:18:53,027 Speaker 8: given the cattle they had, I thought they showed a 402 00:18:53,027 --> 00:18:55,307 Speaker 8: lot of heart last night to come back in that 403 00:18:55,427 --> 00:18:58,187 Speaker 8: game where they could have been blown out by or 404 00:18:58,267 --> 00:19:01,187 Speaker 8: sixty points, you know, and I thought that was, yeah, 405 00:19:01,267 --> 00:19:03,587 Speaker 8: quite a testament to them because they certainly haven't got 406 00:19:03,627 --> 00:19:06,187 Speaker 8: anywhere there to tell the currently. 407 00:19:07,747 --> 00:19:07,787 Speaker 10: No. 408 00:19:08,027 --> 00:19:10,347 Speaker 2: I think I'm reading some of the Australian stuff this 409 00:19:10,507 --> 00:19:12,787 Speaker 2: morning and last night after the game. I think I 410 00:19:12,947 --> 00:19:16,027 Speaker 2: think there's a there's a high degree of pride in 411 00:19:16,147 --> 00:19:18,907 Speaker 2: the Australian side that they that they pushed us as 412 00:19:18,987 --> 00:19:21,107 Speaker 2: much as they did, having been down by as much 413 00:19:21,147 --> 00:19:23,387 Speaker 2: as they were early because I don't know, it looked 414 00:19:23,387 --> 00:19:24,947 Speaker 2: like it was going to be a bloodbath when they 415 00:19:24,987 --> 00:19:27,467 Speaker 2: were twenty one nil down after fifteen minutes. Now I 416 00:19:27,547 --> 00:19:29,147 Speaker 2: was getting text from friends of mine saying this will 417 00:19:29,147 --> 00:19:31,107 Speaker 2: be this will be a cricket score. But for them 418 00:19:31,187 --> 00:19:34,507 Speaker 2: to come back, you know, through their own resilience and resolve, 419 00:19:34,587 --> 00:19:37,747 Speaker 2: but also I think through the All Blacks lack of execution, 420 00:19:37,947 --> 00:19:40,067 Speaker 2: I think they'll be pleased. They still seem to me 421 00:19:40,187 --> 00:19:41,707 Speaker 2: to be a wee way off at though, Mark I 422 00:19:41,947 --> 00:19:44,827 Speaker 2: don't know. They're certainly not the force of old and 423 00:19:44,907 --> 00:19:46,387 Speaker 2: that will probably take a little bit of time. 424 00:19:46,387 --> 00:19:49,027 Speaker 8: I would imagine who the Australians or the. 425 00:19:51,107 --> 00:19:54,387 Speaker 2: Australians, but maybe it applies to the I don't think 426 00:19:54,387 --> 00:19:55,867 Speaker 2: it should apply to the All Blacks. Like I said 427 00:19:55,907 --> 00:19:57,787 Speaker 2: at the top, you know, I felt like we would 428 00:19:57,787 --> 00:19:59,947 Speaker 2: be better than we better than we are at this 429 00:20:00,067 --> 00:20:01,347 Speaker 2: point after eight Test matches. 430 00:20:02,347 --> 00:20:04,747 Speaker 8: Just one last thing. Have you got any word on 431 00:20:05,187 --> 00:20:07,987 Speaker 8: cam Rogan on coming to Europe? 432 00:20:08,067 --> 00:20:10,587 Speaker 2: You think, yep he will, Yep, he's back. He's backing 433 00:20:10,667 --> 00:20:12,427 Speaker 2: with the team. He's back in with the team this week. 434 00:20:12,587 --> 00:20:14,307 Speaker 2: He's going to train with the All Blacks all week 435 00:20:14,387 --> 00:20:16,587 Speaker 2: this week. He won't play in the Test match, but 436 00:20:16,627 --> 00:20:21,507 Speaker 2: he will play NPC in the next weekend and then 437 00:20:21,947 --> 00:20:24,107 Speaker 2: provided he comes through, okay, he will be on the 438 00:20:24,187 --> 00:20:24,747 Speaker 2: end of your tour. 439 00:20:25,667 --> 00:20:27,107 Speaker 8: He's got a good scar of the OC. 440 00:20:27,987 --> 00:20:30,867 Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that too, Mark, I saw that too. Yeah, 441 00:20:30,907 --> 00:20:32,427 Speaker 2: battle scars. I think they call them good to have 442 00:20:32,507 --> 00:20:34,227 Speaker 2: them back, though. Good to chat to eight hundred and 443 00:20:34,267 --> 00:20:36,867 Speaker 2: eighty ten to eighty. Someone said the problem is the fitness. 444 00:20:37,827 --> 00:20:39,667 Speaker 2: Ken says, clearly, the problem of the All Blacks is 445 00:20:39,707 --> 00:20:41,627 Speaker 2: that they are not fit enough. Why else would they 446 00:20:41,627 --> 00:20:45,587 Speaker 2: fall off in the last twenty minutes. I cannot subscribe 447 00:20:45,627 --> 00:20:49,267 Speaker 2: to that view. Fitnesses are not negotiable when it comes 448 00:20:49,347 --> 00:20:51,867 Speaker 2: to the All Blacks. Surely when it comes to any 449 00:20:52,387 --> 00:20:58,267 Speaker 2: elite sports person, fitness is are not negotiable. And Nick 450 00:20:58,347 --> 00:21:00,467 Speaker 2: Girl is the head of strength and conditioning with this team, 451 00:21:00,907 --> 00:21:02,907 Speaker 2: and there is no way that he would not be 452 00:21:03,067 --> 00:21:07,907 Speaker 2: preparing those players for test rugby. I've heard it suggested 453 00:21:07,947 --> 00:21:11,587 Speaker 2: that you know that it's fitness, but I don't know 454 00:21:11,747 --> 00:21:16,827 Speaker 2: that it can be. Yes, you get fatigued, of course, 455 00:21:16,867 --> 00:21:20,307 Speaker 2: you get fatigued. Everybody does after playing fifty sixty seventy 456 00:21:20,347 --> 00:21:26,187 Speaker 2: minutes of high level rugby, of course, but they're trained 457 00:21:26,387 --> 00:21:31,187 Speaker 2: to execute their core skills under the pressure of fatigue. 458 00:21:31,827 --> 00:21:34,347 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's fitness. I just don't don't 459 00:21:34,387 --> 00:21:35,707 Speaker 2: buy that as the as the reason. 460 00:21:37,107 --> 00:21:40,827 Speaker 11: How are you, Phil, Yeah, yeah, okay, twenty How are you? 461 00:21:41,307 --> 00:21:42,227 Speaker 2: I'm good? Thanks mate. 462 00:21:43,427 --> 00:21:44,587 Speaker 11: Oh I'm relieved. 463 00:21:45,427 --> 00:21:48,387 Speaker 12: I think that's the word that they used after that game, 464 00:21:48,587 --> 00:21:51,347 Speaker 12: so I think it's stop raised and might have used 465 00:21:51,347 --> 00:21:53,467 Speaker 12: it himself and make me the characters that a couple 466 00:21:53,507 --> 00:21:58,027 Speaker 12: of them says, it's relieved. It was the hell of 467 00:21:58,067 --> 00:22:01,147 Speaker 12: a game that could have gone either way. You know, 468 00:22:01,307 --> 00:22:05,347 Speaker 12: the Oudsies could have easily won that game. They It 469 00:22:05,507 --> 00:22:08,587 Speaker 12: reminded me they dropped a lot of balls themselves, you 470 00:22:08,667 --> 00:22:11,267 Speaker 12: know at crucial times when they had a break on 471 00:22:11,427 --> 00:22:13,467 Speaker 12: and that, and made a lot of mistakes themselves, and 472 00:22:13,507 --> 00:22:15,667 Speaker 12: then they got it together in the second half. Old 473 00:22:15,707 --> 00:22:18,587 Speaker 12: whatever Joe Schmid said to them certainly pumped them up, 474 00:22:18,587 --> 00:22:20,667 Speaker 12: because I think they won the second half boy fourteen 475 00:22:20,747 --> 00:22:24,107 Speaker 12: points to three, but then came back. It's reminded me 476 00:22:24,187 --> 00:22:26,627 Speaker 12: a lot of that first South African game, not the 477 00:22:26,707 --> 00:22:29,587 Speaker 12: second one. It was a difference start altogether. But you 478 00:22:29,667 --> 00:22:31,467 Speaker 12: know in that first South African game with the all 479 00:22:31,507 --> 00:22:34,627 Speaker 12: Blacks come out lying and we're all out of South 480 00:22:34,667 --> 00:22:37,187 Speaker 12: Africa and then South Africa held on, you know, when 481 00:22:37,227 --> 00:22:39,747 Speaker 12: we lost it in that last ten fifteen minutes, And 482 00:22:40,547 --> 00:22:42,667 Speaker 12: it reminded me a lot of that how the Aublets 483 00:22:42,707 --> 00:22:44,907 Speaker 12: come mine out of the blocks and all Jordan looked 484 00:22:44,907 --> 00:22:47,027 Speaker 12: great and they were opening them up and courtiers and 485 00:22:47,107 --> 00:22:48,907 Speaker 12: things were going great. And I was sitting there thinking, 486 00:22:49,027 --> 00:22:53,107 Speaker 12: like you, fifteen twenty minutes into it, Jesus, we're getting 487 00:22:53,107 --> 00:22:56,107 Speaker 12: a sixty or a sixty bus score here and then 488 00:22:56,467 --> 00:22:58,507 Speaker 12: and then they started to and then they came back. 489 00:22:58,547 --> 00:22:59,747 Speaker 5: But I don't. 490 00:23:00,107 --> 00:23:03,067 Speaker 12: Yeah, I've had a loss as well. I'm bamboozled and 491 00:23:03,107 --> 00:23:06,827 Speaker 12: buggered as well to figure out, boy, we're not putting 492 00:23:06,867 --> 00:23:10,067 Speaker 12: it together in that last fifteen or twenty ten to 493 00:23:10,147 --> 00:23:13,267 Speaker 12: fifteen minutes, and we're losing it in those last fifty 494 00:23:13,387 --> 00:23:15,707 Speaker 12: were almost losing it because like I said, I think 495 00:23:15,747 --> 00:23:17,427 Speaker 12: we were a bit lucky to win that game last 496 00:23:17,507 --> 00:23:20,347 Speaker 12: night in the end, not how we started off, but 497 00:23:20,427 --> 00:23:24,427 Speaker 12: in the end. And I thought in my mind here 498 00:23:24,427 --> 00:23:27,987 Speaker 12: I thought too maybe, But then I'm like you, thinking, 499 00:23:28,227 --> 00:23:30,787 Speaker 12: so it can't be. But it can't be a fitness 500 00:23:30,827 --> 00:23:33,467 Speaker 12: thing because those guys are the you know, put to 501 00:23:33,587 --> 00:23:37,307 Speaker 12: the pump and they wouldn't be going and not unfit. 502 00:23:37,707 --> 00:23:40,667 Speaker 12: So I'm thinking I can't be fitness. I just don't 503 00:23:40,787 --> 00:23:43,587 Speaker 12: know what it is. It's just not because in the past, 504 00:23:44,427 --> 00:23:47,907 Speaker 12: that was when old All Black teams grew up, you know, 505 00:23:47,987 --> 00:23:50,547 Speaker 12: like I grew up in the eighties with fuck Shelf 506 00:23:51,267 --> 00:23:54,107 Speaker 12: and all the great players and that from then, you know, 507 00:23:54,187 --> 00:23:57,947 Speaker 12: Fitzpatrick and that. Like yesterday with John Eels, I wanted 508 00:23:57,987 --> 00:24:00,387 Speaker 12: to call him because I think I remember bloody John Eils. 509 00:24:00,987 --> 00:24:03,987 Speaker 12: Did he jump up a conversion, jump up under the 510 00:24:04,027 --> 00:24:07,027 Speaker 12: gold post and actually knock the ball down with his 511 00:24:07,147 --> 00:24:10,707 Speaker 12: head and a conversion in one game I took that. Yeah, 512 00:24:10,747 --> 00:24:14,347 Speaker 12: but yeah, yeah, and that was extraordinary. You never see 513 00:24:14,387 --> 00:24:16,067 Speaker 12: that now. I don't think I've ever seen it again. 514 00:24:16,187 --> 00:24:17,787 Speaker 12: You know, somebody do that. I'm not even sure if 515 00:24:17,827 --> 00:24:19,787 Speaker 12: you're allowed to do it. The rules now to stop 516 00:24:19,827 --> 00:24:21,747 Speaker 12: the ball coming over from a conversion. If you can 517 00:24:21,827 --> 00:24:25,747 Speaker 12: jump up and knock it out, your hit tall. But yeah, 518 00:24:25,827 --> 00:24:29,147 Speaker 12: that's that's always been a strength of the All Blacks. 519 00:24:29,307 --> 00:24:31,267 Speaker 12: You know they're picking it. They actually pick it up 520 00:24:31,307 --> 00:24:33,507 Speaker 12: in that last ten and fifteen when other teams are 521 00:24:34,147 --> 00:24:34,787 Speaker 12: hitting the wall. 522 00:24:34,947 --> 00:24:38,467 Speaker 2: So I just, yeah, that's the thing for you and 523 00:24:38,547 --> 00:24:40,747 Speaker 2: I could have had this conversation after the last test, 524 00:24:40,827 --> 00:24:42,627 Speaker 2: and after the test before that, and after the test 525 00:24:42,667 --> 00:24:45,627 Speaker 2: before that. It's just it's become, unfortunately, become a talking 526 00:24:45,707 --> 00:24:48,667 Speaker 2: point because it continues to happen that you know, as 527 00:24:48,747 --> 00:24:51,627 Speaker 2: you say, this was the hallmark of All Blacks teams 528 00:24:52,067 --> 00:24:54,987 Speaker 2: past that if they were behind, they found a way 529 00:24:55,027 --> 00:24:56,707 Speaker 2: to get in front in the last twenty minutes. If 530 00:24:56,707 --> 00:24:58,867 Speaker 2: they were ahead in the last twenty minutes, that stretched 531 00:24:58,867 --> 00:25:00,707 Speaker 2: the lead, would bring guys off the bench and they 532 00:25:00,747 --> 00:25:03,627 Speaker 2: would just go over the top of teams. And unfortunately 533 00:25:03,707 --> 00:25:07,747 Speaker 2: it's just not happening now. I come back to I'm 534 00:25:07,787 --> 00:25:10,387 Speaker 2: like you, I don't think it's fitness. I don't think 535 00:25:10,427 --> 00:25:11,867 Speaker 2: you would look at the All Blacks and say these 536 00:25:11,907 --> 00:25:15,387 Speaker 2: guys aren't fit. I don't know how you measure that. 537 00:25:15,587 --> 00:25:17,827 Speaker 2: I mean, you probably don't need to. You don't need 538 00:25:17,867 --> 00:25:19,147 Speaker 2: to say, well does that guy fit or is he 539 00:25:19,387 --> 00:25:22,707 Speaker 2: could he be fitter? I honestly think it goes back 540 00:25:22,747 --> 00:25:24,827 Speaker 2: to what Jason Holland was talking about and what Raises 541 00:25:24,867 --> 00:25:26,267 Speaker 2: said after the game, and I'll play a little bit 542 00:25:26,267 --> 00:25:30,267 Speaker 2: of audio on it. It's it's there. It's the execution 543 00:25:30,427 --> 00:25:34,667 Speaker 2: of those basic skills that just for whatever reason, isn't happening. 544 00:25:37,547 --> 00:25:39,947 Speaker 2: Here's here's Scott Barrett. Why can't they score after the 545 00:25:39,987 --> 00:25:41,627 Speaker 2: sixtieth Monte? Here's the captain's view. 546 00:25:41,947 --> 00:25:44,427 Speaker 13: You know, it's just the execution really that that's all 547 00:25:44,467 --> 00:25:47,787 Speaker 13: it is. That's in those moments. It's been sterely to 548 00:25:48,067 --> 00:25:51,107 Speaker 13: finish those opportunities because we're creating them, and when we 549 00:25:51,227 --> 00:25:53,107 Speaker 13: do have teams under the pump, it that could be 550 00:25:53,147 --> 00:25:55,627 Speaker 13: the difference between putting twenty points on them. 551 00:25:56,027 --> 00:25:58,147 Speaker 2: Is that word again, execution? How are you Michael? 552 00:25:59,747 --> 00:25:59,947 Speaker 1: Yeah? 553 00:26:00,067 --> 00:26:02,667 Speaker 14: I look, I've got to say I'm losing a little 554 00:26:02,707 --> 00:26:05,867 Speaker 14: bit of say or does if you look at the 555 00:26:05,947 --> 00:26:09,467 Speaker 14: only he left on the bench last night. You know, 556 00:26:09,907 --> 00:26:14,907 Speaker 14: led the Blues verse five to a very structured season 557 00:26:15,187 --> 00:26:18,427 Speaker 14: for a very structured season, and I would like to 558 00:26:18,547 --> 00:26:21,347 Speaker 14: see him run get a run last night and we 559 00:26:21,427 --> 00:26:22,787 Speaker 14: would have closed that game out. 560 00:26:23,907 --> 00:26:25,627 Speaker 2: He came on at the end. I know, I know 561 00:26:26,307 --> 00:26:28,147 Speaker 2: it was late. He I think got four minutes at 562 00:26:28,147 --> 00:26:29,907 Speaker 2: the end. It's time to make an impact on and 563 00:26:30,027 --> 00:26:32,307 Speaker 2: for minutes you would prefer to say twenty minutes. I presume, 564 00:26:33,387 --> 00:26:34,027 Speaker 2: oh at. 565 00:26:34,027 --> 00:26:37,307 Speaker 14: Least, because I mean and Amien McKenzie plays a very 566 00:26:37,387 --> 00:26:41,707 Speaker 14: unstructured game, right, and that's accepted and he's good at that. 567 00:26:42,387 --> 00:26:44,507 Speaker 14: But when you're a hit and when you want to 568 00:26:44,587 --> 00:26:47,947 Speaker 14: close the game out, you come back to your core 569 00:26:48,227 --> 00:26:52,587 Speaker 14: and you play percentage rugby and you really keep that 570 00:26:52,827 --> 00:26:57,307 Speaker 14: opposition under pressure and even your defense becomes attacked. 571 00:26:58,267 --> 00:26:59,147 Speaker 5: But we don't do that. 572 00:26:59,347 --> 00:27:03,587 Speaker 14: We still play this, you know. I just wonder you 573 00:27:03,827 --> 00:27:07,827 Speaker 14: let the opposition have these chances. Good teams will take them. 574 00:27:10,267 --> 00:27:12,947 Speaker 2: So would you like to see Harry Plumber given a 575 00:27:13,027 --> 00:27:14,267 Speaker 2: start in Wellington? 576 00:27:16,307 --> 00:27:18,267 Speaker 14: I'd like to see him get a damn good runner 577 00:27:18,267 --> 00:27:22,107 Speaker 14: in Lington, you know, And I'd like to see how 578 00:27:22,187 --> 00:27:24,547 Speaker 14: it would work, you know, if we get ahead and 579 00:27:24,707 --> 00:27:28,547 Speaker 14: then he has maybe the whole second half and we've 580 00:27:28,627 --> 00:27:30,947 Speaker 14: watched what he can do because he can make a 581 00:27:30,987 --> 00:27:35,147 Speaker 14: break himself. He is fast, you know, he is a 582 00:27:35,547 --> 00:27:40,907 Speaker 14: very underrated player. Yeah, I would like to see him 583 00:27:40,947 --> 00:27:43,907 Speaker 14: get a really good run in Wellington. And I don't 584 00:27:43,987 --> 00:27:46,627 Speaker 14: know if you want to start a guy in his 585 00:27:46,787 --> 00:27:51,707 Speaker 14: first test, you know, I teen to let him come 586 00:27:51,747 --> 00:27:54,027 Speaker 14: on at halftime, but I'd given him a good half 587 00:27:54,307 --> 00:27:54,907 Speaker 14: of rugby. 588 00:27:56,147 --> 00:27:58,267 Speaker 2: Good man, Michael, thanks for your call, mate, just on 589 00:27:58,427 --> 00:28:02,827 Speaker 2: that his razor talking about Damian McKenzie. Damian McKenzie is 590 00:28:02,827 --> 00:28:06,227 Speaker 2: a big talking point in this game. He as a 591 00:28:06,347 --> 00:28:11,147 Speaker 2: said to Jason Holland, his superpower is his unpredictability and 592 00:28:11,307 --> 00:28:15,467 Speaker 2: his ability to open up space and to find gaps 593 00:28:15,547 --> 00:28:18,507 Speaker 2: and to go through those gaps. But unfortunately last night 594 00:28:18,547 --> 00:28:20,867 Speaker 2: for Damien McKenzie, and it's not the first time it's happened, 595 00:28:21,587 --> 00:28:24,787 Speaker 2: the final pass just wasn't the right one the decision making. 596 00:28:25,347 --> 00:28:27,147 Speaker 2: There were a couple of times when he went through 597 00:28:27,187 --> 00:28:30,507 Speaker 2: a gap, created space, created an opportunity, but then didn't 598 00:28:30,547 --> 00:28:34,467 Speaker 2: get the pass away as accurately as he could have 599 00:28:35,387 --> 00:28:39,427 Speaker 2: could have. Here is Razer speaking this morning about Damien 600 00:28:39,467 --> 00:28:43,467 Speaker 2: McKenzie just before the All Blacks jumped on their plane, 601 00:28:43,507 --> 00:28:44,947 Speaker 2: or actually this was only about an hour ago, so 602 00:28:45,387 --> 00:28:49,467 Speaker 2: probably just before he moved into the Koru lounge. Here 603 00:28:49,587 --> 00:28:52,187 Speaker 2: is Razor on Damien McKenzie from last night. 604 00:28:52,387 --> 00:28:55,307 Speaker 15: Damien was mercurial, you know, like he can play, he 605 00:28:55,347 --> 00:28:58,027 Speaker 15: can turn it on, and we know how gifted their 606 00:28:58,107 --> 00:29:00,587 Speaker 15: feed and a player he can be, which continue to 607 00:29:00,627 --> 00:29:02,507 Speaker 15: try to go his game and is getting better at 608 00:29:02,587 --> 00:29:05,267 Speaker 15: his craft. We're going to finish a couple of opportunities and. 609 00:29:05,267 --> 00:29:08,387 Speaker 2: We're all aware that mercurial is the word that he used. Now, 610 00:29:08,387 --> 00:29:10,587 Speaker 2: I look that up because I needed to make sure 611 00:29:10,587 --> 00:29:14,227 Speaker 2: that I had the right definition mercurial. It's got a 612 00:29:14,267 --> 00:29:16,747 Speaker 2: couple of meanings actually describes. The first one is it 613 00:29:16,827 --> 00:29:20,467 Speaker 2: describes someone who's mood or behavior is changeable and unpredictable. 614 00:29:21,227 --> 00:29:24,387 Speaker 2: But it also means someone who is clever, lively, and quick. 615 00:29:25,067 --> 00:29:28,067 Speaker 2: So I think all of those probably apply to Damien McKenzie. 616 00:29:28,587 --> 00:29:32,987 Speaker 2: So would Raiser consider a change at first five for 617 00:29:33,107 --> 00:29:35,107 Speaker 2: the Test against Australia and Wellington. 618 00:29:35,267 --> 00:29:37,507 Speaker 16: Oh, that's a good question, I'll well beck them. 619 00:29:37,547 --> 00:29:38,187 Speaker 2: You've got to do that. 620 00:29:38,747 --> 00:29:40,747 Speaker 15: You've got to give someone an opportunity and time to 621 00:29:40,827 --> 00:29:43,307 Speaker 15: hold those reins as long as they possibly can, and 622 00:29:43,667 --> 00:29:46,147 Speaker 15: also have someone that can ast and play there because 623 00:29:46,147 --> 00:29:48,547 Speaker 15: obviously we changed so quickly. Obviously oponents that completely that 624 00:29:48,707 --> 00:29:53,587 Speaker 15: with the semper feeder injured, we've been injured again. You know, 625 00:29:53,667 --> 00:29:55,867 Speaker 15: Harry's coming and had a little cameo and it was 626 00:29:55,907 --> 00:29:57,347 Speaker 15: a great moment for him after the game. 627 00:29:57,467 --> 00:29:59,147 Speaker 16: And yeah, so those are the two options. 628 00:29:59,387 --> 00:30:03,027 Speaker 2: So there you go, that's Raises thinking. Damien McKenzie is 629 00:30:03,027 --> 00:30:04,587 Speaker 2: one of two players I mentioned this yesterday. He and 630 00:30:04,627 --> 00:30:07,427 Speaker 2: Alie Saville are the only two who have started all 631 00:30:07,507 --> 00:30:10,707 Speaker 2: eight test matches?

You absolutely 660 00:31:28,307 --> 00:31:30,467 Speaker 17: knew exactly what he was going to do every time 661 00:31:30,507 --> 00:31:33,707 Speaker 17: he had the ball in his hand pretty much, and 662 00:31:34,627 --> 00:31:36,067 Speaker 17: the All Blacks were pretty done. 663 00:31:35,947 --> 00:31:36,947 Speaker 7: Good under Mertons. 664 00:31:37,787 --> 00:31:40,227 Speaker 17: I just look, I agree with the caller a little 665 00:31:40,227 --> 00:31:43,707 Speaker 17: bit earlier about giving Harry Plumber ag Look, Harry Plumber 666 00:31:43,987 --> 00:31:46,587 Speaker 17: might be the number three choice out there, behind Reuben Love, 667 00:31:46,707 --> 00:31:50,427 Speaker 17: behind Pera Better, but he won, He won a twelve 668 00:31:50,507 --> 00:31:54,227 Speaker 17: title and he and he controlled that team from the pivot. 669 00:31:55,107 --> 00:31:58,107 Speaker 17: And that's the sort of thing I'm looking for in 670 00:31:58,267 --> 00:32:02,387 Speaker 17: terms of the All Black structure of their game. We 671 00:32:02,627 --> 00:32:06,027 Speaker 17: won an unstructured manner early on, all over the shop 672 00:32:06,187 --> 00:32:10,467 Speaker 17: and we got lucky. Uh. I think Australia have got 673 00:32:10,507 --> 00:32:13,507 Speaker 17: more in them. I don't think they'll come to Wellington 674 00:32:13,587 --> 00:32:18,387 Speaker 17: and knock us off. But they found a baseline last 675 00:32:18,467 --> 00:32:21,147 Speaker 17: night for themselves that I think burn Cotter will go. Okay, 676 00:32:21,987 --> 00:32:24,467 Speaker 17: we know where we're at now and we know we 677 00:32:24,547 --> 00:32:27,507 Speaker 17: could find a way forward for Australia. But for ourselves, 678 00:32:28,787 --> 00:32:31,867 Speaker 17: I'm still concerned. As I said yesterday, it's a bit 679 00:32:31,907 --> 00:32:34,947 Speaker 17: of a nuts and bolts team, a bit of a pitcher, yeah, 680 00:32:36,547 --> 00:32:39,867 Speaker 17: a bit of a mongrel where and what we're always 681 00:32:39,907 --> 00:32:43,227 Speaker 17: after is a pure bread. Yeah, we want that. We 682 00:32:43,347 --> 00:32:46,347 Speaker 17: want that thorough bread all black teams. And at the 683 00:32:46,427 --> 00:32:49,627 Speaker 17: moment when we've got wet, when we've got this thing, 684 00:32:49,787 --> 00:32:54,347 Speaker 17: that's it's not really taking shape, it's not showing us 685 00:32:54,387 --> 00:32:59,387 Speaker 17: it's true colors. I'm not seeing. I'm not seeing a style. 686 00:33:00,627 --> 00:33:03,667 Speaker 17: And that's what great sort of teams have is they 687 00:33:03,787 --> 00:33:05,187 Speaker 17: have a style about them. 688 00:33:06,027 --> 00:33:06,827 Speaker 18: I'm a game. 689 00:33:07,667 --> 00:33:10,067 Speaker 17: We'll get through next week and then we've got a 690 00:33:10,187 --> 00:33:15,147 Speaker 17: big task coming up, big in England, Ireland and France. 691 00:33:16,027 --> 00:33:19,747 Speaker 17: We could come Owen three people, we could come away 692 00:33:19,867 --> 00:33:20,547 Speaker 17: Owen three. 693 00:33:21,787 --> 00:33:24,827 Speaker 2: Hey, one question for you, Mark, if you had the choice, okay, 694 00:33:25,067 --> 00:33:27,347 Speaker 2: if you were selecting the team, would you let's just 695 00:33:27,387 --> 00:33:29,787 Speaker 2: say you had the choice between Bowden Barrett and Harry 696 00:33:29,827 --> 00:33:32,547 Speaker 2: Plumber to start at ten next week. Who would you choose? 697 00:33:32,547 --> 00:33:37,587 Speaker 2: Who would you choose? Barrett all Right, yep, I'd got 698 00:33:37,627 --> 00:33:39,707 Speaker 2: on you always good chatting mate. I'd like to see 699 00:33:39,907 --> 00:33:43,827 Speaker 2: Harry Plumber given another opportunity. Four minutes last night was 700 00:33:44,427 --> 00:33:46,067 Speaker 2: kind of tough, really in a you know, in a 701 00:33:46,147 --> 00:33:48,067 Speaker 2: high pressure situation. Good on the for throwing him on, 702 00:33:48,107 --> 00:33:49,427 Speaker 2: but you don't learn a lot about a guy from 703 00:33:49,427 --> 00:33:51,187 Speaker 2: four minutes. I think we learned a lot about Harry 704 00:33:51,187 --> 00:33:54,867 Speaker 2: Plumber during the Super Rugby season. I wouldn't mind seeing 705 00:33:54,947 --> 00:33:57,747 Speaker 2: him giving a go rece Hi. 706 00:33:59,187 --> 00:34:00,147 Speaker 19: Hey, hey, young buddy. 707 00:34:00,547 --> 00:34:00,907 Speaker 20: Very good. 708 00:34:02,427 --> 00:34:04,987 Speaker 19: Absolutely, I'm a big Harry Plumber fan, and I'm a 709 00:34:05,027 --> 00:34:08,587 Speaker 19: bluestand so on the bias. But still I was I 710 00:34:08,667 --> 00:34:10,747 Speaker 19: was screaming at the TV last night for them to 711 00:34:10,787 --> 00:34:14,187 Speaker 19: put them on, because, as you kept saying about Mackenzie 712 00:34:14,347 --> 00:34:17,027 Speaker 19: and this the structure that the All Blacks don't have, 713 00:34:17,187 --> 00:34:19,987 Speaker 19: and I think it's is in that middle with Mackenzie, 714 00:34:20,067 --> 00:34:23,027 Speaker 19: because yes, he's unpredictable to the other team, but he's 715 00:34:23,067 --> 00:34:25,507 Speaker 19: also unpredictable to his own teammates and they don't know 716 00:34:25,547 --> 00:34:29,187 Speaker 19: what he's going to do next. And how many times, 717 00:34:29,507 --> 00:34:31,267 Speaker 19: how many times have you seen him in these last 718 00:34:31,307 --> 00:34:34,227 Speaker 19: Test matches where Satiti or the Fords or the loose 719 00:34:34,307 --> 00:34:36,707 Speaker 19: Foras are actually picking the ball out of the year 720 00:34:36,747 --> 00:34:40,947 Speaker 19: before it even gets to them. They're intercepting that they're 721 00:34:40,987 --> 00:34:42,907 Speaker 19: intercepting the ball from of their own players. 722 00:34:45,187 --> 00:34:49,987 Speaker 18: So I just explain that race, wef McKenzie. 723 00:34:50,707 --> 00:34:53,507 Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm just saying how everyone keeps going on about 724 00:34:53,547 --> 00:34:55,787 Speaker 19: this unpredictability of them. 725 00:34:56,067 --> 00:34:58,067 Speaker 2: And yeah, the bit about the bit about are you 726 00:34:58,187 --> 00:35:01,387 Speaker 2: are you saying that the passes he throws guys who 727 00:35:01,427 --> 00:35:03,507 Speaker 2: aren't the intended target are picking it up. 728 00:35:05,627 --> 00:35:09,627 Speaker 19: Yeah, well, Stetti that in that last Test match against 729 00:35:09,627 --> 00:35:12,707 Speaker 19: South Africa he picked out two out of the year 730 00:35:13,107 --> 00:35:17,067 Speaker 19: from that we're going to McKenzie. But Lewis forwards are 731 00:35:17,107 --> 00:35:19,387 Speaker 19: picked plucking it out of the year when that's not 732 00:35:19,507 --> 00:35:23,387 Speaker 19: even meant for them. But they don't even know what. 733 00:35:23,427 --> 00:35:24,147 Speaker 21: He's going to do next. 734 00:35:24,227 --> 00:35:27,267 Speaker 19: And that's why these passes at the end or at 735 00:35:27,307 --> 00:35:31,667 Speaker 19: the end of these phases aren't connecting because they don't 736 00:35:31,667 --> 00:35:32,587 Speaker 19: even know what he's going to do. 737 00:35:33,387 --> 00:35:34,107 Speaker 8: What about these. 738 00:35:34,467 --> 00:35:37,827 Speaker 19: Passes and a couple of test those Test matches against 739 00:35:37,827 --> 00:35:38,867 Speaker 19: South Africa. 740 00:35:39,427 --> 00:35:42,307 Speaker 2: So you'd be willing to Yeah, so you'd be willing 741 00:35:42,387 --> 00:35:45,667 Speaker 2: to give up the unpredictability which can be a superpower 742 00:35:46,067 --> 00:35:49,787 Speaker 2: for the more structured certainty of a guy like Harry Plummer. 743 00:35:50,987 --> 00:35:53,387 Speaker 19: Absolutely, that's the all Blacks way, and that's always been 744 00:35:53,427 --> 00:35:56,347 Speaker 19: the all Black structure. Look at their forwards. We absolutely 745 00:35:56,427 --> 00:35:58,987 Speaker 19: matched South Africa and that those test matches against in 746 00:35:59,107 --> 00:36:03,027 Speaker 19: the forward pack they couldn't match. When everyone thought that 747 00:36:03,067 --> 00:36:04,827 Speaker 19: we were going to get run over in the forwards 748 00:36:04,867 --> 00:36:07,747 Speaker 19: while their back with the role mauls in the lineouts, 749 00:36:07,827 --> 00:36:10,147 Speaker 19: that we didn't. We held our own in the scrum, 750 00:36:10,227 --> 00:36:12,747 Speaker 19: we held her own in the rolling mauls, and then 751 00:36:12,747 --> 00:36:14,107 Speaker 19: it would get to the backs and there was just 752 00:36:14,187 --> 00:36:16,467 Speaker 19: no structure. And I reckon it starts with fat ten 753 00:36:17,227 --> 00:36:19,107 Speaker 19: and then he had both and buried at fifteen. He's 754 00:36:19,147 --> 00:36:22,107 Speaker 19: been a prodigal son of number ten for how many years? 755 00:36:23,387 --> 00:36:29,667 Speaker 19: And then they put him in fifteen and everyone says that, well, Raiser, 756 00:36:29,747 --> 00:36:33,067 Speaker 19: this morning came that you need to let Damien find 757 00:36:33,107 --> 00:36:36,427 Speaker 19: his feet. He's been a normalck since twenty and sixteen. 758 00:36:36,467 --> 00:36:39,707 Speaker 19: It's not like he's new to the game or new 759 00:36:39,787 --> 00:36:42,867 Speaker 19: to the team. It had his charmped he had plenty 760 00:36:42,907 --> 00:36:43,467 Speaker 19: of chances. 761 00:36:45,387 --> 00:36:48,547 Speaker 2: Thanks Terese, appreciate your call. We may well see Horry 762 00:36:48,547 --> 00:36:51,147 Speaker 2: Plumber get a greater role in Wellington. I think the 763 00:36:51,507 --> 00:36:54,147 Speaker 2: comments from Scott Robertson that we played earlier would suggest 764 00:36:54,187 --> 00:36:57,347 Speaker 2: that Damian McKenzie is not a lock for the first 765 00:36:57,387 --> 00:37:01,027 Speaker 2: five jersey in Wellington. He just on your point about 766 00:37:01,227 --> 00:37:03,787 Speaker 2: and finding his feet. Most of us all Black rugby 767 00:37:03,827 --> 00:37:07,267 Speaker 2: has been at fullback, so finding his feet in the 768 00:37:07,347 --> 00:37:10,907 Speaker 2: first five position I think is what Razor is talking 769 00:37:10,947 --> 00:37:13,787 Speaker 2: about there. And I do admire I've said this a lot. 770 00:37:13,867 --> 00:37:16,907 Speaker 2: I admire the loyalty that he's shown to Damien McKenzie 771 00:37:16,907 --> 00:37:19,987 Speaker 2: and giving him eight tests in a row. What he 772 00:37:20,107 --> 00:37:23,267 Speaker 2: does in Wellington against the Wallabies will be very very interesting, 773 00:37:23,387 --> 00:37:25,547 Speaker 2: Thanks Reese. I hope Harry Plummer does get a crack, 774 00:37:26,067 --> 00:37:28,867 Speaker 2: either off the bench or maybe in the ten jersey. Mike, 775 00:37:28,947 --> 00:37:29,267 Speaker 2: how are you? 776 00:37:30,707 --> 00:37:30,907 Speaker 5: Yeah? 777 00:37:30,947 --> 00:37:31,107 Speaker 22: Good? 778 00:37:31,427 --> 00:37:31,747 Speaker 4: Funny? 779 00:37:32,187 --> 00:37:32,587 Speaker 5: Hey, listen. 780 00:37:33,547 --> 00:37:37,027 Speaker 9: Mackenzie's bench player is an impact player all day long, 781 00:37:37,107 --> 00:37:41,147 Speaker 9: you know. And I don't rate Plumber. And there's a 782 00:37:41,307 --> 00:37:45,267 Speaker 9: rumors swirling around about Mala Richard Wunger coming back, which 783 00:37:45,307 --> 00:37:48,467 Speaker 9: I hope is done true. And he's got another five 784 00:37:48,547 --> 00:37:51,027 Speaker 9: years in the ten jersey for the All Backs, and 785 00:37:51,427 --> 00:37:54,827 Speaker 9: I think the Rugby Union should just pay him out 786 00:37:54,867 --> 00:37:56,747 Speaker 9: of this contract and get him back here as at 787 00:37:56,827 --> 00:38:02,387 Speaker 9: P because we're diluting the brand by paying guys out 788 00:38:02,427 --> 00:38:05,267 Speaker 9: a position, and that art suited the all back rugby. 789 00:38:06,347 --> 00:38:08,067 Speaker 2: Who would you pick in the ten jersey next week? 790 00:38:08,107 --> 00:38:10,867 Speaker 2: Your options are probably McKenzie, Bote and Barreler, Harry Plummer. 791 00:38:10,867 --> 00:38:12,787 Speaker 2: Who would you pick there next week? I take your 792 00:38:12,787 --> 00:38:15,027 Speaker 2: point him Warnger and from what I understand, probably hearing 793 00:38:15,027 --> 00:38:17,347 Speaker 2: the same things you are, that he'll probably be back 794 00:38:17,707 --> 00:38:20,387 Speaker 2: in the middle of twenty twenty five. So who would 795 00:38:20,387 --> 00:38:20,987 Speaker 2: you pick next week? 796 00:38:22,507 --> 00:38:24,827 Speaker 9: I'll pick that and put McKenzie on the bench as 797 00:38:24,907 --> 00:38:27,467 Speaker 9: impact player because we're looking the impact on the bench 798 00:38:27,827 --> 00:38:30,187 Speaker 9: at all, and I think if he leads a kind 799 00:38:30,227 --> 00:38:33,147 Speaker 9: of a certain kind of way off the bench with 800 00:38:33,267 --> 00:38:35,147 Speaker 9: a bunch of other guys, we will get the impact 801 00:38:35,187 --> 00:38:36,467 Speaker 9: in the last twenty minuts. 802 00:38:36,307 --> 00:38:36,867 Speaker 5: We've been lacking. 803 00:38:36,947 --> 00:38:41,787 Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, Mike, Yes, you look at Damien McKenzie 804 00:38:41,787 --> 00:38:44,467 Speaker 2: and what he does and it almost screams impact player, 805 00:38:44,507 --> 00:38:46,867 Speaker 2: doesn't it. You know, that ability to run and broken 806 00:38:46,947 --> 00:38:49,787 Speaker 2: play to run it tied defenders to you know, to 807 00:38:50,547 --> 00:38:53,747 Speaker 2: use that skill set when play isn't quite as structured. 808 00:38:54,267 --> 00:38:56,107 Speaker 2: They've given him a crack at first five, and I 809 00:38:56,147 --> 00:38:58,427 Speaker 2: think it was the right decision to do that initially 810 00:38:58,587 --> 00:39:00,947 Speaker 2: and to stick with him At some point though they 811 00:39:01,027 --> 00:39:04,187 Speaker 2: have to decide whether he is your man moving forward. 812 00:39:05,827 --> 00:39:09,227 Speaker 2: As I say, it'll be very very instructive the selection 813 00:39:09,467 --> 00:39:14,107 Speaker 2: for the Wallabies test in Wellington on Saturday. Just a 814 00:39:14,187 --> 00:39:16,827 Speaker 2: couple of injury things someone's asked about. Stephen Pettifetter injured 815 00:39:16,867 --> 00:39:19,667 Speaker 2: at the moment, so not in contention Jeordi Barrett by 816 00:39:19,707 --> 00:39:22,787 Speaker 2: the sounds of things, out for four to six weeks 817 00:39:23,227 --> 00:39:25,067 Speaker 2: with a knee injury. So there's going to have to 818 00:39:25,107 --> 00:39:28,227 Speaker 2: be a change in midfield as well. Maybe Billy Proctor 819 00:39:28,547 --> 00:39:30,667 Speaker 2: gets a chance even though he's not a second five. 820 00:39:30,947 --> 00:39:33,107 Speaker 2: Maybe there's a shuffle there, Maybe Nton Lennart Brann comes 821 00:39:33,147 --> 00:39:35,267 Speaker 2: into second five.

Just to click. 846 00:40:48,787 --> 00:40:50,587 Speaker 2: You got the little click of the fingers there from 847 00:40:50,907 --> 00:40:53,467 Speaker 2: Raser to illustrate the point, Jason, if you leave Mackenzie 848 00:40:53,507 --> 00:40:55,227 Speaker 2: on the bench and Jordi Barrett's out, who takes the 849 00:40:55,307 --> 00:40:58,227 Speaker 2: kicks a goal, asks Colin. It's a good question, Colin. 850 00:40:58,267 --> 00:41:01,067 Speaker 2: I presume whoever plays first five. Voden Barrett's a goal kicker. 851 00:41:01,187 --> 00:41:03,427 Speaker 2: Harry Plumber's a goal kicker, so I presume they do. 852 00:41:04,827 --> 00:41:07,347 Speaker 2: They won't go in there without a plan around goalkicking, 853 00:41:07,387 --> 00:41:10,027 Speaker 2: but I would imagine that that that is what they 854 00:41:10,067 --> 00:41:14,547 Speaker 2: will do.

What did he make of last night? 874 00:42:04,467 --> 00:42:07,587 Speaker 2: And how long until the wall of can again become 875 00:42:08,347 --> 00:42:11,347 Speaker 2: a true rugby superpower like they were when he was 876 00:42:11,427 --> 00:42:14,427 Speaker 2: in the Jersey back in the early nineties, in and 877 00:42:14,507 --> 00:42:17,187 Speaker 2: around that time.

He couldn't get everybody on the 880 00:42:20,827 --> 00:42:23,187 Speaker 2: air last hour. We'll try and do that this hour 881 00:42:23,467 --> 00:42:26,667 Speaker 2: Live Sport, just updating you from Eden Park and the 882 00:42:26,787 --> 00:42:31,507 Speaker 2: Fara Palmer Cup Premiership. Hawks Bay doing a number on Auckland. 883 00:42:32,507 --> 00:42:35,827 Speaker 2: Seven minutes to go. They lead forty three seventeen. The 884 00:42:35,907 --> 00:42:39,187 Speaker 2: Hawks Bay two over the Auckland Storm, but further south 885 00:42:39,227 --> 00:42:41,907 Speaker 2: than the Rotterdua, it is the Bay of Plenty Volcanics 886 00:42:42,747 --> 00:42:47,467 Speaker 2: leading Canterbury seventeen points to twelve. We've had about ten 887 00:42:47,547 --> 00:42:49,747 Speaker 2: minutes in the second half there. As far as the 888 00:42:50,067 --> 00:42:53,147 Speaker 2: Bunnings MPC is concerned, they're underways. You heard clay mention 889 00:42:53,587 --> 00:42:55,747 Speaker 2: in the Sports news in Hamilton. Why cuttle seven to 890 00:42:55,867 --> 00:42:58,547 Speaker 2: ahead of Tasman after just a couple of minutes? Dreams 891 00:42:58,587 --> 00:43:00,747 Speaker 2: start for the home side with the converted try inside 892 00:43:00,787 --> 00:43:06,027 Speaker 2: two minutes. So why hat overhead of Tasman Auckland Place 893 00:43:06,107 --> 00:43:08,827 Speaker 2: South at five past two Monter or two Otago also 894 00:43:09,147 --> 00:43:11,347 Speaker 2: at five past two. A couple of texts before we 895 00:43:11,467 --> 00:43:13,427 Speaker 2: move on, Craig says, Jason, here's my back line for 896 00:43:13,507 --> 00:43:18,627 Speaker 2: next week. Latimer Plumber A midfield of Anton Lennett, Brown 897 00:43:18,747 --> 00:43:21,707 Speaker 2: and Billy Proctor, Caleb on one wing, Rico on the other, 898 00:43:21,867 --> 00:43:25,907 Speaker 2: Jordan at fullback on the bench, DJ Body and d 899 00:43:26,107 --> 00:43:31,107 Speaker 2: mac Interesting and again it's funny I defaulted to, but 900 00:43:31,187 --> 00:43:32,867 Speaker 2: who's going to cover this position? When I look at 901 00:43:32,907 --> 00:43:35,427 Speaker 2: your reserves, Craig, But I see yesterday and we need 902 00:43:35,507 --> 00:43:38,027 Speaker 2: to change our thinking. Where do we get the impact 903 00:43:38,107 --> 00:43:40,387 Speaker 2: off the bench rather than who do we use to 904 00:43:40,467 --> 00:43:42,587 Speaker 2: cover if there's an injury. Of course, you look at 905 00:43:42,627 --> 00:43:44,627 Speaker 2: your team and I know what you'll say. Rico covers 906 00:43:44,667 --> 00:43:48,627 Speaker 2: midfield for you if need be, so, I don't mind 907 00:43:48,947 --> 00:43:51,507 Speaker 2: Boden Barrett and Damien Mackenzie on the bench. Would that 908 00:43:51,587 --> 00:43:55,867 Speaker 2: have ever happened? Would we ever have had Boden Barrett 909 00:43:55,907 --> 00:43:59,947 Speaker 2: and Damien Mackenzie on the bench at the same time? Oh, 910 00:44:00,067 --> 00:44:01,907 Speaker 2: Craig continues Ricco needs to be on the wing to 911 00:44:01,947 --> 00:44:04,707 Speaker 2: cover midfield. There you go, which allows for both Barrett 912 00:44:04,707 --> 00:44:08,147 Speaker 2: and dmac on the bench. Thanks Craig Jason Seyshawn On fitness, 913 00:44:09,187 --> 00:44:11,307 Speaker 2: I agree it seems unlikely the All Black standards have 914 00:44:11,427 --> 00:44:14,067 Speaker 2: slipped as far as fitness is concerned, but I do 915 00:44:14,267 --> 00:44:17,067 Speaker 2: think other teams have finally got up to speed with that, 916 00:44:17,627 --> 00:44:21,907 Speaker 2: possibly due to diffusion of New Zealand coaches and approaches, 917 00:44:22,507 --> 00:44:25,547 Speaker 2: so that we no longer have that relative advantage. Coupled 918 00:44:25,587 --> 00:44:27,987 Speaker 2: that with a reduced number of players who would make 919 00:44:28,027 --> 00:44:29,987 Speaker 2: a World fifteen right now, and that's showing up in 920 00:44:30,027 --> 00:44:33,387 Speaker 2: our results. Thanks Shan, your calls and texts continue to 921 00:44:33,427 --> 00:44:36,027 Speaker 2: be welcomed. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine 922 00:44:36,107 --> 00:44:37,987 Speaker 2: two ninety two is the text line. 923 00:44:37,987 --> 00:44:40,987 Speaker 3: All right hands either got numbers to Wallabies, Tom Wrights 924 00:44:41,227 --> 00:44:44,907 Speaker 3: right reaches out right the try and the Wallabies we'll 925 00:44:45,027 --> 00:44:47,267 Speaker 3: have a chance to try and win this game out 926 00:44:47,307 --> 00:44:47,787 Speaker 3: of nowhere. 927 00:44:47,907 --> 00:44:50,187 Speaker 2: Yea, That tribe was converted thirty one twenty eight, so 928 00:44:50,267 --> 00:44:53,467 Speaker 2: a final few nervous moments for All Blacks fans before 929 00:44:53,907 --> 00:44:56,707 Speaker 2: the result was finally secured. Let's get you across the 930 00:44:56,787 --> 00:45:01,147 Speaker 2: Tasman for an Australian viewpoint from Wallaby's legend David Campsei 931 00:45:01,227 --> 00:45:04,827 Speaker 2: who joins US now David thirty one twenty eight. Do 932 00:45:04,907 --> 00:45:06,947 Speaker 2: you think the Wallabies will look at this one is 933 00:45:07,147 --> 00:45:09,507 Speaker 2: one that perhaps they let slip away? 934 00:45:10,387 --> 00:45:10,587 Speaker 5: Yeah? 935 00:45:10,707 --> 00:45:13,107 Speaker 23: Mate, I think it's the way the game started. It 936 00:45:13,147 --> 00:45:14,867 Speaker 23: looked like the All Blacks were going to just win 937 00:45:14,987 --> 00:45:18,707 Speaker 23: by fifty. But then obviously, you know, I've never seen 938 00:45:18,707 --> 00:45:23,267 Speaker 23: an All Black team really made so many mistakes and 939 00:45:23,427 --> 00:45:27,227 Speaker 23: they obviously the first the first two tries at the 940 00:45:27,267 --> 00:45:31,427 Speaker 23: Stralias Corps were pretty simple, especially defensive errors, which is 941 00:45:31,547 --> 00:45:35,027 Speaker 23: very unusual. But again the Wallabies came back well they 942 00:45:35,867 --> 00:45:38,187 Speaker 23: you know, the pretty good performance. We've got some really 943 00:45:38,227 --> 00:45:41,907 Speaker 23: good individual players, but we still haven't really gelled properly 944 00:45:41,947 --> 00:45:47,547 Speaker 23: yet and I just think it's look, it's kind of 945 00:45:47,627 --> 00:45:50,787 Speaker 23: it might take a while, but you know, I think 946 00:45:50,867 --> 00:45:54,347 Speaker 23: it's also interesting to see the way the All Blacks 947 00:45:54,467 --> 00:45:57,147 Speaker 23: have played. I mean, they were roped by twenty one 948 00:45:57,227 --> 00:45:59,307 Speaker 23: points I think it was, and it was like the 949 00:45:59,627 --> 00:46:01,667 Speaker 23: game in South Africa. They're roped by twenty points in 950 00:46:01,707 --> 00:46:04,747 Speaker 23: the first game. Most All Black teams are passed would 951 00:46:04,827 --> 00:46:09,187 Speaker 23: make it forty points, and they just don't seem to 952 00:46:09,387 --> 00:46:13,547 Speaker 23: have that killer instinct or that resolve to you know, 953 00:46:13,747 --> 00:46:17,667 Speaker 23: to make the opposition really suffer. They just sort of 954 00:46:17,667 --> 00:46:19,507 Speaker 23: took the foot off the panel and made some mistakes 955 00:46:19,547 --> 00:46:22,267 Speaker 23: and you know, brought the Wallabies back into the game. 956 00:46:22,627 --> 00:46:24,947 Speaker 2: Why do you think that is? Why haven't they got 957 00:46:24,987 --> 00:46:27,827 Speaker 2: the killer instinct that's been a trademark, a hallmark of 958 00:46:27,907 --> 00:46:29,347 Speaker 2: all Blacks teams down the years. 959 00:46:30,787 --> 00:46:32,227 Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I'm not really sure. 960 00:46:32,667 --> 00:46:34,587 Speaker 23: Look, you know, I know the game is different now 961 00:46:36,027 --> 00:46:38,507 Speaker 23: and there's so much more, you know, there's so much 962 00:46:38,587 --> 00:46:41,907 Speaker 23: more gone into the rugby, like there's so much more analysis, 963 00:46:42,107 --> 00:46:45,547 Speaker 23: and there's so many more different coaches and just as 964 00:46:45,627 --> 00:46:47,427 Speaker 23: like a simple thing if you watch the warm ups 965 00:46:47,467 --> 00:46:50,227 Speaker 23: of most teams, they do the short little passes the 966 00:46:50,307 --> 00:46:51,827 Speaker 23: warm up, but in the game they don't do the 967 00:46:51,867 --> 00:46:54,787 Speaker 23: short passes. A lot of them do the spirals. Just 968 00:46:54,867 --> 00:46:57,227 Speaker 23: a little simple thing. So it's when you get out 969 00:46:57,267 --> 00:47:00,107 Speaker 23: there under pressure and you could see, you know, even 970 00:47:00,507 --> 00:47:03,787 Speaker 23: Damian McKenzie some of the passes that went to ground, 971 00:47:03,827 --> 00:47:06,267 Speaker 23: which is very unusual that level. And that flick passage 972 00:47:06,347 --> 00:47:08,467 Speaker 23: I had to throw in. He didn't need to do that. 973 00:47:08,747 --> 00:47:11,147 Speaker 23: You know, it's probably just I don't know again, they're 974 00:47:11,147 --> 00:47:15,547 Speaker 23: still probably learning as a unit to understand each other 975 00:47:15,627 --> 00:47:17,907 Speaker 23: which are the lines they run. And I think Boden 976 00:47:17,947 --> 00:47:20,587 Speaker 23: Barrett was missing badly as well. I think Jordan's a 977 00:47:20,707 --> 00:47:23,067 Speaker 23: very good player, but I think it's more of a finisher. 978 00:47:23,867 --> 00:47:25,947 Speaker 23: He's not really a creator, and I think that's where 979 00:47:25,947 --> 00:47:29,387 Speaker 23: Boden Barrett sort of adds that extra spice to the backline. 980 00:47:29,867 --> 00:47:31,907 Speaker 2: How far away do you think the Wallabies are from 981 00:47:32,107 --> 00:47:34,387 Speaker 2: challenging the top three or four sides in the world. 982 00:47:34,467 --> 00:47:37,267 Speaker 5: Again, Well, I just. 983 00:47:37,307 --> 00:47:40,787 Speaker 23: Think it's just interesting that we've we've brought another key 984 00:47:40,827 --> 00:47:43,467 Speaker 23: week coach in that really you know what I would 985 00:47:43,587 --> 00:47:46,307 Speaker 23: thoughts by now that it would have been great if 986 00:47:46,347 --> 00:47:49,187 Speaker 23: he sort of tried to understand what our culture and 987 00:47:49,267 --> 00:47:51,347 Speaker 23: history was and why we were the Wallabies and what 988 00:47:51,467 --> 00:47:54,667 Speaker 23: we were good at. We've got some really good individual players, 989 00:47:55,187 --> 00:47:57,547 Speaker 23: but we keep on changing nine and ten around week 990 00:47:57,627 --> 00:48:00,267 Speaker 23: in week out, and that's as you know, in most games, 991 00:48:00,747 --> 00:48:02,667 Speaker 23: nine and ten of the general you know, they're the 992 00:48:02,947 --> 00:48:06,147 Speaker 23: connection between the forwards and packs. And I think that 993 00:48:06,427 --> 00:48:13,107 Speaker 23: he's still doesn't understand I suppose our mentality, like you know, 994 00:48:13,187 --> 00:48:15,347 Speaker 23: we do really well in that game miss, so we 995 00:48:15,467 --> 00:48:17,787 Speaker 23: really came back. But really, when the All Blacks were 996 00:48:17,787 --> 00:48:19,667 Speaker 23: down to thirteen, why didn't we try and run a 997 00:48:19,707 --> 00:48:23,707 Speaker 23: wide because there was two backs missing? You know, I 998 00:48:23,867 --> 00:48:28,587 Speaker 23: think because our super rugby is not great and obviously 999 00:48:28,667 --> 00:48:31,267 Speaker 23: the next generation coming through which they don't really watch 1000 00:48:31,307 --> 00:48:33,507 Speaker 23: a lot of rugby or they haven't really got a 1001 00:48:33,547 --> 00:48:35,547 Speaker 23: lot of idols who they want to be like because 1002 00:48:35,667 --> 00:48:39,747 Speaker 23: most of obviously in Australi's rugby league. And I just 1003 00:48:39,827 --> 00:48:42,507 Speaker 23: think that we need we just need some players to 1004 00:48:42,627 --> 00:48:44,827 Speaker 23: come through and have the skills but also have the 1005 00:48:44,907 --> 00:48:47,987 Speaker 23: confidence to try and gel and play, you know, and 1006 00:48:48,707 --> 00:48:51,067 Speaker 23: probably get the basic skills right and play a bit 1007 00:48:51,107 --> 00:48:52,307 Speaker 23: better than we have been playing. 1008 00:48:52,667 --> 00:48:54,587 Speaker 2: Do you think he's the right man to coach the Wallabies? 1009 00:48:56,867 --> 00:48:59,267 Speaker 23: Well, unfortunate I think he was the only one available 1010 00:48:59,427 --> 00:49:02,067 Speaker 23: at the time. And I think that, you know, sometimes 1011 00:49:02,107 --> 00:49:05,347 Speaker 23: we panic. We again, we haven't really got to set 1012 00:49:05,427 --> 00:49:09,347 Speaker 23: up in Australia where you know you've got you've got 1013 00:49:09,387 --> 00:49:11,427 Speaker 23: a system where we bring all the young coaches through. 1014 00:49:11,547 --> 00:49:14,787 Speaker 23: Most of the young coaches have to go overseas. And 1015 00:49:14,907 --> 00:49:18,387 Speaker 23: another coach now, the guy called Chris Latham, you know 1016 00:49:18,427 --> 00:49:21,187 Speaker 23: helps him are in twenty nineteen Rugby World Cup. Can't 1017 00:49:21,187 --> 00:49:23,467 Speaker 23: get a start in Australia, didn't want him, goes over 1018 00:49:23,547 --> 00:49:27,267 Speaker 23: to America, makes the final, lost the final this year. Unfortunately, 1019 00:49:27,347 --> 00:49:29,067 Speaker 23: then a couple of weeks started to gets another job 1020 00:49:29,187 --> 00:49:32,227 Speaker 23: over there, and not one person from rugby Australia is 1021 00:49:32,267 --> 00:49:34,507 Speaker 23: interested in him at all. They don't speak to him. 1022 00:49:34,507 --> 00:49:36,827 Speaker 23: They want to see how he's going. Is he interested? 1023 00:49:37,547 --> 00:49:40,187 Speaker 23: That's that's our problem. We don't sort of look after 1024 00:49:40,267 --> 00:49:43,387 Speaker 23: our own and I think also if you notice in 1025 00:49:43,467 --> 00:49:47,027 Speaker 23: the world rugby at the moment, you've got Robertson coach 1026 00:49:47,107 --> 00:49:49,147 Speaker 23: that the all backs played for the New Zealand Russia, 1027 00:49:49,227 --> 00:49:52,587 Speaker 23: Rasmus played for South Africa, ball, we played for England, 1028 00:49:53,587 --> 00:49:58,147 Speaker 23: Townsend played for Scotland's and the French coach obviously he 1029 00:49:58,307 --> 00:50:01,587 Speaker 23: played for France, you know. And we've got a coach 1030 00:50:01,667 --> 00:50:03,267 Speaker 23: that is a New zal I don't know if he 1031 00:50:03,307 --> 00:50:06,907 Speaker 23: actually played for New Zealandia. He's a good coach, but 1032 00:50:07,227 --> 00:50:10,027 Speaker 23: at the moment, you know, we are We were number 1033 00:50:10,107 --> 00:50:12,227 Speaker 23: one two in the world for years and years by 1034 00:50:12,307 --> 00:50:15,307 Speaker 23: playing a certain style. But he's brought into our game 1035 00:50:15,427 --> 00:50:17,507 Speaker 23: like maureling the ball from twenty two meters out, which 1036 00:50:17,547 --> 00:50:20,027 Speaker 23: is not really our style of game. We've got to 1037 00:50:20,067 --> 00:50:22,867 Speaker 23: go back to what we are known for. But again, 1038 00:50:22,947 --> 00:50:27,147 Speaker 23: if the guys haven't got the coach's ability to play 1039 00:50:27,227 --> 00:50:30,107 Speaker 23: the game and try things, you know, we'll probably be 1040 00:50:30,147 --> 00:50:32,627 Speaker 23: stuck in this situation for a couple of years. 1041 00:50:32,947 --> 00:50:35,387 Speaker 2: Are there any you mentioned Chris Latham? Are there any 1042 00:50:35,467 --> 00:50:39,107 Speaker 2: other Australian born candidates to coach the Wallabies right now? 1043 00:50:40,787 --> 00:50:44,587 Speaker 23: Well, look, I think there isn't really because you know, 1044 00:50:44,747 --> 00:50:46,827 Speaker 23: we've got so we had a couple of South African coaches. 1045 00:50:46,947 --> 00:50:50,867 Speaker 23: You had Brad Thorne, obviously he's retired as well. Now 1046 00:50:51,347 --> 00:50:54,347 Speaker 23: you've got Les Kiss who's a rugby league player. I 1047 00:50:54,427 --> 00:50:56,427 Speaker 23: think he's ever played rugby, but he's doing the Reds. 1048 00:50:57,747 --> 00:51:00,467 Speaker 23: And now we've got Kat coming in from England to 1049 00:51:00,547 --> 00:51:05,707 Speaker 23: do the back line. And obviously Check was around was 1050 00:51:05,707 --> 00:51:09,027 Speaker 23: available but is now in England and he's obviously at 1051 00:51:09,427 --> 00:51:13,227 Speaker 23: Leicester and enjoying his stint there. Just got there. So 1052 00:51:13,787 --> 00:51:16,027 Speaker 23: you know, again all our coaches are going around the world. 1053 00:51:16,787 --> 00:51:19,947 Speaker 23: It's obviously you've got to be part of I don't know, 1054 00:51:19,987 --> 00:51:22,307 Speaker 23: at certain club or something that gets the jobs out 1055 00:51:22,347 --> 00:51:25,467 Speaker 23: here because you know, we need to look towards the 1056 00:51:25,507 --> 00:51:28,267 Speaker 23: future as we've got the lines next year and we've 1057 00:51:28,307 --> 00:51:30,227 Speaker 23: got twenty seven Rugby World Cups, so we've got a 1058 00:51:30,267 --> 00:51:32,867 Speaker 23: couple of massive years coming and we need to be 1059 00:51:33,027 --> 00:51:36,107 Speaker 23: in a one, two three position if otherwise, where you 1060 00:51:36,187 --> 00:51:38,187 Speaker 23: know we'll probably struggle. And you know we've League and 1061 00:51:38,227 --> 00:51:41,387 Speaker 23: Ozzie rules in Australia, dominating week in, week out and 1062 00:51:41,707 --> 00:51:44,387 Speaker 23: entertaining people. We need to play a style of rugby 1063 00:51:45,027 --> 00:51:47,547 Speaker 23: that we entertain the people and people come to watch 1064 00:51:47,587 --> 00:51:49,107 Speaker 23: and at the moment it's just not happening. 1065 00:51:49,587 --> 00:51:53,347 Speaker 2: Just one final one. On aura, it's pretty hard to define. 1066 00:51:53,387 --> 00:51:56,627 Speaker 2: I know Campeo, but your teams the of the early 1067 00:51:56,787 --> 00:51:58,747 Speaker 2: nineties had it, the All Blacks have had it at 1068 00:51:58,827 --> 00:52:02,827 Speaker 2: various stages. Once you lose an aura, is it possible 1069 00:52:02,907 --> 00:52:04,267 Speaker 2: to get an aura back? 1070 00:52:06,627 --> 00:52:10,867 Speaker 23: I think it comes from the team, you know. I 1071 00:52:10,987 --> 00:52:13,627 Speaker 23: think also what's very different these days When we played 1072 00:52:14,667 --> 00:52:16,587 Speaker 23: I know, as long time ago, but we would have 1073 00:52:16,667 --> 00:52:20,547 Speaker 23: the same fifteen for probably ten fifteen test matches unless 1074 00:52:20,587 --> 00:52:22,587 Speaker 23: someone got injured. You know, he never came off because 1075 00:52:22,587 --> 00:52:24,907 Speaker 23: if you came off, you never get another run. Now 1076 00:52:25,627 --> 00:52:28,027 Speaker 23: you know you've got forty minutes players, you've got sixty 1077 00:52:28,067 --> 00:52:31,787 Speaker 23: minutes players, you know, And we saw the South Africans 1078 00:52:32,027 --> 00:52:34,547 Speaker 23: lose to Argentina this morning, you know, by a very 1079 00:52:34,587 --> 00:52:38,227 Speaker 23: close margin because a penalty goal, you know, and sometimes 1080 00:52:38,307 --> 00:52:41,427 Speaker 23: it's just the smallest margin of error makes a difference. 1081 00:52:41,507 --> 00:52:45,107 Speaker 23: But the All Blacks have always been known for start 1082 00:52:45,147 --> 00:52:47,187 Speaker 23: off very strong in the first ten and they sort 1083 00:52:47,187 --> 00:52:49,987 Speaker 23: of foot off the pedal the last ten minutes before halftime, 1084 00:52:50,027 --> 00:52:53,027 Speaker 23: they pile on the points. Second half ten minutes, pile 1085 00:52:53,107 --> 00:52:55,267 Speaker 23: on the points, take it easy and if they have 1086 00:52:55,387 --> 00:52:58,107 Speaker 23: to the end. But now what we saw yesterday was 1087 00:52:58,587 --> 00:53:01,907 Speaker 23: a total different team. Yes, they've got a new coach, 1088 00:53:01,987 --> 00:53:06,827 Speaker 23: still understanding. Again, they've lost a lot of experience players 1089 00:53:06,827 --> 00:53:08,427 Speaker 23: as well from last year. I think a lot of 1090 00:53:08,467 --> 00:53:12,187 Speaker 23: teams have and you need the guys to stand up, 1091 00:53:12,267 --> 00:53:15,267 Speaker 23: you know, you need the experienced players. And I think 1092 00:53:15,347 --> 00:53:17,147 Speaker 23: that's where I think South Africa at the moment is 1093 00:53:17,267 --> 00:53:19,707 Speaker 23: miles ahead. They've you know, obviously Russ is a very 1094 00:53:19,707 --> 00:53:22,987 Speaker 23: smart guy. He his plans for the future. I think 1095 00:53:23,027 --> 00:53:25,547 Speaker 23: they can you know, but again, you know, this morning 1096 00:53:25,667 --> 00:53:28,507 Speaker 23: is a simple penalty goal. Two shots that you know, 1097 00:53:28,627 --> 00:53:30,667 Speaker 23: win and lose games now, so at the top level, 1098 00:53:31,267 --> 00:53:33,947 Speaker 23: so like the All Blacks, it'll come back. But they've 1099 00:53:34,067 --> 00:53:36,427 Speaker 23: just got to understand. It's like in the Wall of 1100 00:53:36,427 --> 00:53:38,427 Speaker 23: be you understand why you're playing for your country and 1101 00:53:39,027 --> 00:53:41,627 Speaker 23: you know, and I think that we saw Clark in 1102 00:53:41,707 --> 00:53:43,307 Speaker 23: that towards the end. He didn't have to do what 1103 00:53:43,427 --> 00:53:43,707 Speaker 23: he did. 1104 00:53:44,427 --> 00:53:44,587 Speaker 16: You know. 1105 00:53:44,707 --> 00:53:47,987 Speaker 23: The All Blacks discipline has been normally unbelievably good over 1106 00:53:48,027 --> 00:53:50,707 Speaker 23: the years and years. But in the game, yes, though 1107 00:53:50,747 --> 00:53:53,427 Speaker 23: the discipline was very poor, which is very very unusual. 1108 00:53:53,627 --> 00:53:55,587 Speaker 23: And again that could be down to the leadership on 1109 00:53:55,667 --> 00:53:59,907 Speaker 23: the field and obviously new coach who knows. But you know, 1110 00:54:00,067 --> 00:54:02,947 Speaker 23: they're just not the same as they you know, they 1111 00:54:03,187 --> 00:54:05,947 Speaker 23: haven't been for for well dominated rugby for many years. 1112 00:54:06,387 --> 00:54:08,467 Speaker 2: Interesting times on both sides of the testament. Thanks a 1113 00:54:08,467 --> 00:54:10,227 Speaker 2: for your time this afternoon, David, really appreciate it. 1114 00:54:11,067 --> 00:54:13,707 Speaker 23: Well, I mean well into next week. So it's not 1115 00:54:13,827 --> 00:54:15,707 Speaker 23: a good honey ground for the All Blacks at the moment. 1116 00:54:16,027 --> 00:54:17,147 Speaker 23: You never know, it could be a bit of a 1117 00:54:17,187 --> 00:54:19,947 Speaker 23: surprise any way. 1118 00:54:20,147 --> 00:54:22,227 Speaker 2: Well that's that's the question being asked over here. It's 1119 00:54:22,227 --> 00:54:23,827 Speaker 2: a bit of a graveyard. As you say, we should 1120 00:54:23,867 --> 00:54:25,587 Speaker 2: play really good Eaton Park David, you know that. 1121 00:54:26,787 --> 00:54:28,987 Speaker 23: Yes that's a long times as we won there too, 1122 00:54:29,107 --> 00:54:30,907 Speaker 23: but yeah, I under said, right, good on you. 1123 00:54:30,987 --> 00:54:34,027 Speaker 2: Thanks David. David KEMPIZI there with his thoughts what a player, 1124 00:54:34,467 --> 00:54:36,787 Speaker 2: what a play? He was some interesting thoughts there too. 1125 00:54:36,947 --> 00:54:41,227 Speaker 2: Clearly not not a fan of Jochmut coaching the Wallabies, 1126 00:54:41,267 --> 00:54:44,387 Speaker 2: would prefer an Australian to do it. He made the 1127 00:54:44,427 --> 00:54:48,107 Speaker 2: point about the coaches at various other places having you know, 1128 00:54:48,347 --> 00:54:57,787 Speaker 2: played for that country. You know, I often think to myself, 1129 00:54:57,987 --> 00:55:00,827 Speaker 2: how would we feel if if a non New Zealander 1130 00:55:01,387 --> 00:55:04,027 Speaker 2: coach the All Blacks? It may well happen one day. 1131 00:55:04,347 --> 00:55:07,387 Speaker 2: I think we've got a decent, actual line of coaches 1132 00:55:07,427 --> 00:55:11,187 Speaker 2: who I'm sure will helm up our our All Blacks 1133 00:55:11,227 --> 00:55:13,707 Speaker 2: for quite some time. But over in Australia it's not 1134 00:55:13,747 --> 00:55:15,747 Speaker 2: the first time, is it, David, David Rennie had them, 1135 00:55:15,747 --> 00:55:17,867 Speaker 2: didn't he. Eddie Jones's Australian. Look what he did with 1136 00:55:17,907 --> 00:55:20,427 Speaker 2: that team. So I'm not sure that nationality is to 1137 00:55:20,507 --> 00:55:22,627 Speaker 2: be all and end all. Clearly, David Campese're not a 1138 00:55:22,707 --> 00:55:26,227 Speaker 2: fan necessarily the way Joe Schmitt's going. Your thoughts on 1139 00:55:26,307 --> 00:55:28,587 Speaker 2: this test continue to be welcome. Oh eight hundred and 1140 00:55:28,667 --> 00:55:32,587 Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty nine, two ninety two. Someone's suggested Stephen Larkham. Yeah, 1141 00:55:32,587 --> 00:55:37,347 Speaker 2: he's another guy who perhaps I remember reading or hearing 1142 00:55:37,387 --> 00:55:40,027 Speaker 2: something about Stephen larkhum or chicking the airbreak about about 1143 00:55:40,107 --> 00:55:43,507 Speaker 2: whether he was anywhere close to consideration. They've gone with 1144 00:55:43,627 --> 00:55:46,267 Speaker 2: Joe Schmidt play some of his thoughts at the moment. 1145 00:55:46,347 --> 00:55:48,227 Speaker 2: Let's get back to the line though, they are open 1146 00:55:48,347 --> 00:55:50,427 Speaker 2: for you, Mark, thanks for holding. 1147 00:55:50,947 --> 00:55:52,027 Speaker 8: You, no buddy. 1148 00:55:52,587 --> 00:55:53,307 Speaker 5: A couple of things. 1149 00:55:53,387 --> 00:55:57,667 Speaker 24: Nobody's mentioned the rift for TMO yet I thought they'd 1150 00:55:57,707 --> 00:56:01,227 Speaker 24: done a good job apart from one little thing. 1151 00:56:01,907 --> 00:56:03,707 Speaker 19: And that brings you to my second point. 1152 00:56:03,827 --> 00:56:06,307 Speaker 23: Australian halfback does he ever shut his mouth? 1153 00:56:07,147 --> 00:56:08,787 Speaker 7: I thought he'd done more last night. 1154 00:56:09,907 --> 00:56:12,227 Speaker 5: I thought he'd done more last night to deserve a. 1155 00:56:12,267 --> 00:56:14,027 Speaker 17: Yellow card at what Per and Arad done on the 1156 00:56:14,107 --> 00:56:14,787 Speaker 17: previous test. 1157 00:56:15,507 --> 00:56:17,907 Speaker 2: Nick White, Yeah, he doesn't mind a word, Nick White. 1158 00:56:18,547 --> 00:56:21,307 Speaker 2: It's a bit of a It's a bit of a 1159 00:56:21,387 --> 00:56:24,187 Speaker 2: trademark of halfbacks, isn't it. Mark. You know they tend 1160 00:56:24,267 --> 00:56:26,307 Speaker 2: to like to have their say, they like to referee 1161 00:56:26,347 --> 00:56:28,827 Speaker 2: the game, well they do. 1162 00:56:29,147 --> 00:56:31,627 Speaker 24: But I think Nick White went a little bit overboard 1163 00:56:31,707 --> 00:56:35,547 Speaker 24: last night. But I think the ref could have given 1164 00:56:35,587 --> 00:56:37,227 Speaker 24: him a yellow card. But part from it, I thought 1165 00:56:37,267 --> 00:56:38,987 Speaker 24: the ref and TMO had done a fairly good job 1166 00:56:39,107 --> 00:56:39,507 Speaker 24: last night. 1167 00:56:39,827 --> 00:56:42,227 Speaker 2: I think he've illustrated the point by saying that nobody's 1168 00:56:42,267 --> 00:56:44,427 Speaker 2: talking about them, Mark. That's what we always say, don't we. 1169 00:56:44,427 --> 00:56:46,267 Speaker 2: When no one's talking about the ref or the TMO 1170 00:56:46,387 --> 00:56:47,787 Speaker 2: or the officials at all, then they must have had 1171 00:56:47,827 --> 00:56:48,267 Speaker 2: a good game. 1172 00:56:48,907 --> 00:56:49,667 Speaker 7: They're all happy. 1173 00:56:49,867 --> 00:56:50,067 Speaker 4: Yep. 1174 00:56:50,387 --> 00:56:53,907 Speaker 24: Yeah so and like like'm just said, I like them 1175 00:56:53,987 --> 00:56:58,347 Speaker 24: like you said them, yep, the well and it's not 1176 00:56:58,387 --> 00:56:59,547 Speaker 24: a good hunting ground, is it. 1177 00:57:00,947 --> 00:57:03,787 Speaker 2: No, this is true. Market's been a willsonce the All 1178 00:57:03,827 --> 00:57:07,587 Speaker 2: Blacks wanty s match in Wellington, that's for sure. We'll 1179 00:57:07,627 --> 00:57:10,307 Speaker 2: see how they go this coming weekend. Thanks for your call, mate. Yeah, 1180 00:57:10,307 --> 00:57:11,707 Speaker 2: I thought I thought the ref had a good game 1181 00:57:12,427 --> 00:57:14,787 Speaker 2: TMO two. I thought they might have had a look 1182 00:57:16,187 --> 00:57:21,427 Speaker 2: at the very last play, which was the turnover. Ardie 1183 00:57:21,427 --> 00:57:23,827 Speaker 2: Savier turned it over, TJ went in to help out 1184 00:57:24,267 --> 00:57:26,627 Speaker 2: TJ Pettinada and it just looked as though he might 1185 00:57:26,707 --> 00:57:30,427 Speaker 2: have been a bit high with with where he I 1186 00:57:30,467 --> 00:57:32,827 Speaker 2: can't remember who the Australian ball carrier was, but it 1187 00:57:32,947 --> 00:57:35,787 Speaker 2: just he just looked a little bit high. Perhaps I 1188 00:57:35,907 --> 00:57:37,667 Speaker 2: wonder whether they might have had a look at that well. 1189 00:57:37,667 --> 00:57:39,147 Speaker 2: The TMO did have a look at it, that's right 1190 00:57:39,187 --> 00:57:42,547 Speaker 2: because the Australian captain asked the referee, hey what about that, 1191 00:57:42,627 --> 00:57:44,187 Speaker 2: and the ref said, look, the tmo's had a look 1192 00:57:44,187 --> 00:57:47,827 Speaker 2: at his clearit. So yeah, I think they had a 1193 00:57:47,867 --> 00:57:51,867 Speaker 2: good game. Here's Joe Schmitt after the game. Is he 1194 00:57:52,747 --> 00:57:55,667 Speaker 2: by nature and optimist? Does he have a half full 1195 00:57:55,747 --> 00:57:58,947 Speaker 2: glass or is it a half empty glass? Was what 1196 00:57:59,427 --> 00:58:01,547 Speaker 2: Joe Schmitt was asked. There's not a lot of water 1197 00:58:01,627 --> 00:58:05,507 Speaker 2: in the glass. You know, you lose a Test match. 1198 00:58:06,387 --> 00:58:10,187 Speaker 21: So so for us, as Harry said that, there's things 1199 00:58:10,187 --> 00:58:12,547 Speaker 21: that we've got to learn from. We can't finish a 1200 00:58:12,587 --> 00:58:17,547 Speaker 21: close second. It's, you know, there's some things to be 1201 00:58:17,627 --> 00:58:21,867 Speaker 21: proud about. And I totally agree with Harry around you know, 1202 00:58:22,107 --> 00:58:25,627 Speaker 21: building our way back into the game, but giving a 1203 00:58:26,507 --> 00:58:30,147 Speaker 21: New Zealand side a start like that, it's it's it's 1204 00:58:30,187 --> 00:58:35,267 Speaker 21: too tough to overcome that. Albeit it almost did happen 1205 00:58:35,307 --> 00:58:39,827 Speaker 21: at the finish, so by no means is it back 1206 00:58:39,867 --> 00:58:42,827 Speaker 21: to the drawing board. I think there's there's some things 1207 00:58:42,907 --> 00:58:47,827 Speaker 21: there that that they'll be looking at and saying, well, 1208 00:58:48,507 --> 00:58:51,027 Speaker 21: you know, we were a bit vulnerable here or there, 1209 00:58:52,227 --> 00:58:56,747 Speaker 21: and I just thought that there was some there were 1210 00:58:56,787 --> 00:58:59,867 Speaker 21: some things that we put together that that they'll look 1211 00:58:59,907 --> 00:59:02,987 Speaker 21: at and and and be a little bit challenged by. 1212 00:59:03,107 --> 00:59:07,667 Speaker 21: But what we can't do is has turned ball over 1213 00:59:07,747 --> 00:59:11,347 Speaker 21: to them more kick loosely to them. Because I thought 1214 00:59:11,667 --> 00:59:16,187 Speaker 21: Will Jordan was outstanding tonight. Damien McKenzie, he maybe didn't 1215 00:59:16,187 --> 00:59:19,707 Speaker 21: finish a couple of opportunities, but Teezy makes them. So 1216 00:59:20,467 --> 00:59:22,267 Speaker 21: you know that there are a couple of guys who 1217 00:59:22,347 --> 00:59:27,667 Speaker 21: obviously stood out, and you know, and amongst a number 1218 00:59:27,707 --> 00:59:30,147 Speaker 21: of guys, you know the Lysa Caleb Clark as well 1219 00:59:30,307 --> 00:59:32,707 Speaker 21: was really dangerous with ball in hand. 1220 00:59:32,827 --> 00:59:37,987 Speaker 2: That is Joe Schmidt after the game, fairly philosophical. Interesting 1221 00:59:38,027 --> 00:59:42,787 Speaker 2: that he mentioned Damien McKenzie. Uh, this is exactly the 1222 00:59:42,827 --> 00:59:45,427 Speaker 2: same conversation that used to go on when Carlos Penser 1223 00:59:45,547 --> 00:59:48,667 Speaker 2: was the All Blacks Verse five. Brilliant you know, could 1224 00:59:48,707 --> 00:59:50,707 Speaker 2: do things that other players couldn't do, but there was 1225 00:59:50,747 --> 00:59:54,067 Speaker 2: always just that doubt in people's minds that perhaps he 1226 00:59:54,187 --> 00:59:56,747 Speaker 2: might be a little bit erratic on occasion, that the 1227 00:59:56,867 --> 01:00:01,267 Speaker 2: overplaying of the strength became the weakness, that his incredible 1228 01:00:01,307 --> 01:00:07,787 Speaker 2: ability to do the unpredictable things sometimes naturally just spilled 1229 01:00:07,827 --> 01:00:11,347 Speaker 2: over into making the odd error throwing a cutout pass 1230 01:00:11,427 --> 01:00:14,627 Speaker 2: and a World Cup semi final, for example. I think 1231 01:00:14,667 --> 01:00:18,347 Speaker 2: that's it. Scott Robertson said exactly the same thing, describing 1232 01:00:18,427 --> 01:00:23,347 Speaker 2: Damien mackenzie as mercurial. Joe Schmitt there said he didn't 1233 01:00:23,347 --> 01:00:26,147 Speaker 2: finish the opportunities, but gee, he creates them. What would 1234 01:00:26,187 --> 01:00:29,627 Speaker 2: we rather have? Would we rather have the opportunities being 1235 01:00:29,707 --> 01:00:35,147 Speaker 2: created or would we rather have a steadier hand who 1236 01:00:35,307 --> 01:00:38,267 Speaker 2: was not quite as likely to create opportunities like that? 1237 01:00:38,827 --> 01:00:44,827 Speaker 2: Particularly and broken play. It's a selection conundrum for Scott 1238 01:00:44,907 --> 01:00:48,267 Speaker 2: Robertson and his team, for any rugby coach who has 1239 01:00:48,307 --> 01:00:51,787 Speaker 2: a couple of options at first five, do you go 1240 01:00:51,947 --> 01:00:58,827 Speaker 2: with a guy who creates a lot but occasionally it 1241 01:00:58,947 --> 01:01:01,467 Speaker 2: doesn't come off, or do you go with a guy 1242 01:01:01,547 --> 01:01:04,547 Speaker 2: who is just a very steady hand on the wheel. 1243 01:01:05,347 --> 01:01:06,907 Speaker 2: And that is what they'll have to dosy this week. 1244 01:01:06,907 --> 01:01:09,867 Speaker 2: They've gone with Damien McKenzie every test this year. They've 1245 01:01:09,867 --> 01:01:13,747 Speaker 2: said that ten Jersey is yours. I just got from 1246 01:01:14,987 --> 01:01:17,107 Speaker 2: his responses to a couple of questions at the airport 1247 01:01:17,187 --> 01:01:19,707 Speaker 2: this morning the fact they might be considering a change 1248 01:01:20,147 --> 01:01:23,347 Speaker 2: for Wellington. If they do, they can go with Boden 1249 01:01:23,387 --> 01:01:27,427 Speaker 2: Barrett there. They could move Harry Plummer in there to start. 1250 01:01:27,907 --> 01:01:31,387 Speaker 2: Stephen Pettifetter injured at the moment, so there are three options, 1251 01:01:31,867 --> 01:01:35,427 Speaker 2: stick with Damien McKenzie, bringing Boden Barrett, who's played at 1252 01:01:35,467 --> 01:01:38,067 Speaker 2: ten a lot for the All Blacks, or bringing Harry 1253 01:01:38,107 --> 01:01:41,027 Speaker 2: Plummer for what would be a starting debut in the 1254 01:01:41,147 --> 01:01:43,867 Speaker 2: ten jersey, not forgetting, of course, that he was the 1255 01:01:43,947 --> 01:01:47,667 Speaker 2: man who guided the Blues to a Super Rugby title 1256 01:01:47,787 --> 01:01:51,107 Speaker 2: from that position this year. What would you be doing? Oh, 1257 01:01:51,147 --> 01:01:53,747 Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine two 1258 01:01:53,827 --> 01:01:55,707 Speaker 2: is the text line one twenty seven back with more 1259 01:01:55,747 --> 01:01:56,507 Speaker 2: of your calls after this. 1260 01:01:57,347 --> 01:02:00,747 Speaker 1: It's more than just a game. Weekends for it. With 1261 01:02:00,947 --> 01:02:05,387 Speaker 1: Jason Hine and TJ. Gunnerholmes, New Zealand's most trusted home builder, 1262 01:02:05,507 --> 01:02:06,307 Speaker 1: News talks. 1263 01:02:06,187 --> 01:02:10,547 Speaker 2: Bang on one thirty. James asks did Harry Plumber play 1264 01:02:10,627 --> 01:02:13,947 Speaker 2: ten or twelve during Super Rugby? Both James, but at 1265 01:02:13,987 --> 01:02:16,067 Speaker 2: the back end of the season it was mainly first five. 1266 01:02:16,747 --> 01:02:20,027 Speaker 2: Stephen Petefetter played the first six games at first five 1267 01:02:20,107 --> 01:02:22,827 Speaker 2: and then picked up an injury. Harry Plumber came in 1268 01:02:23,187 --> 01:02:28,067 Speaker 2: and played the next seven or eight. Stephen Petefetter returned 1269 01:02:28,067 --> 01:02:30,787 Speaker 2: at first five for the final round robin match against 1270 01:02:30,827 --> 01:02:34,067 Speaker 2: the Chiefs and Plumber went back to second five for 1271 01:02:34,147 --> 01:02:37,147 Speaker 2: that game, and then for whatever reason they decided up. 1272 01:02:37,387 --> 01:02:39,107 Speaker 2: Plumber is our man in the first five jersey. He 1273 01:02:39,147 --> 01:02:41,427 Speaker 2: played there in the quarter final, the semi final and 1274 01:02:41,587 --> 01:02:44,867 Speaker 2: the final, with Stephen Petefetter going back to fullback. So 1275 01:02:45,787 --> 01:02:49,387 Speaker 2: most of us rugby, certainly from about the six week 1276 01:02:49,507 --> 01:02:52,427 Speaker 2: or round six onwards, was at first five and a 1277 01:02:52,587 --> 01:02:54,267 Speaker 2: very steady hand at the wheel. 1278 01:02:54,587 --> 01:02:54,947 Speaker 10: He was. 1279 01:02:56,707 --> 01:02:58,987 Speaker 2: Ponti, Lakham and Checker were both in contention for the 1280 01:02:59,027 --> 01:03:02,027 Speaker 2: Wallabies job, but they chose Joshmidt and said instead. Says Sean, 1281 01:03:02,507 --> 01:03:05,107 Speaker 2: thanks very much. Indeed, Sean oh eight hundred and eighty 1282 01:03:05,227 --> 01:03:08,347 Speaker 2: ten eighty hello, I'll be. 1283 01:03:08,467 --> 01:03:11,307 Speaker 4: Sticking with the mac I reckon. It would be a 1284 01:03:11,387 --> 01:03:14,907 Speaker 4: big if were going backwards. If we change next week 1285 01:03:16,307 --> 01:03:19,147 Speaker 4: him and Jordan, Will Jordan's had the second men play 1286 01:03:19,227 --> 01:03:21,907 Speaker 4: at the back. Both of them look dangerous together on 1287 01:03:22,027 --> 01:03:24,907 Speaker 4: the same field. You know you're marking one and two 1288 01:03:25,027 --> 01:03:27,827 Speaker 4: and the alarm bells ringing the defense line. Then you 1289 01:03:27,907 --> 01:03:32,107 Speaker 4: can hear it through the crowd's voices. Every time Willdordan 1290 01:03:32,187 --> 01:03:34,187 Speaker 4: touches the ball and he hammers down, he can hear 1291 01:03:34,227 --> 01:03:36,467 Speaker 4: the crowd do the old oo's and ours and that 1292 01:03:36,667 --> 01:03:39,627 Speaker 4: and and you can tell when when the flowers sharp 1293 01:03:39,667 --> 01:03:42,427 Speaker 4: as when the crowd reacts to the way the play. 1294 01:03:42,947 --> 01:03:45,627 Speaker 4: And Demac, I mean both of them. You not find it. 1295 01:03:46,107 --> 01:03:48,707 Speaker 4: He made balls up that pass here, could probably could 1296 01:03:48,747 --> 01:03:52,027 Speaker 4: have done a better pass. But he's more positive than negative. 1297 01:03:52,027 --> 01:03:54,187 Speaker 4: Were you know, not many players would have gone around 1298 01:03:54,227 --> 01:03:57,427 Speaker 4: the outside of Valentini down on the left side. Well, 1299 01:03:57,547 --> 01:03:59,307 Speaker 4: one of the almost women in the End of the 1300 01:03:59,347 --> 01:04:03,427 Speaker 4: World trio, and he got taken back course his the 1301 01:04:03,627 --> 01:04:05,867 Speaker 4: t there maybe there was awesome. The team are on 1302 01:04:05,987 --> 01:04:08,147 Speaker 4: forehead moment. They had two bit Wise on fire and 1303 01:04:08,867 --> 01:04:11,387 Speaker 4: Wallace a t T. I mean adults will be interesting 1304 01:04:11,467 --> 01:04:14,547 Speaker 4: coming into number seven, so dults and the t T. 1305 01:04:14,747 --> 01:04:17,707 Speaker 4: And but Courty is how strong is that little guy? 1306 01:04:17,707 --> 01:04:20,787 Speaker 4: I'm in the defense man he's he's got to be careful. 1307 01:04:20,827 --> 01:04:22,547 Speaker 4: He's really laying his body on the line. I thought 1308 01:04:22,587 --> 01:04:26,147 Speaker 4: he had done the shoulder when he hit Cory Betty. 1309 01:04:26,267 --> 01:04:29,227 Speaker 4: But I remember like in South Africa too, Couty has 1310 01:04:29,227 --> 01:04:34,827 Speaker 4: stopped Rax big big bed Marx and right close to 1311 01:04:34,907 --> 01:04:37,227 Speaker 4: the line. So he's on fire. I actually had to 1312 01:04:37,267 --> 01:04:41,907 Speaker 4: see no hope from Todd I mean for TJ because 1313 01:04:41,907 --> 01:04:44,267 Speaker 4: I think he's little snatched around the rucks, a dangerous 1314 01:04:44,947 --> 01:04:46,947 Speaker 4: he's so deceptive you don't think he's going to snipe, 1315 01:04:46,987 --> 01:04:49,067 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, little bugger slopes around the rucks. 1316 01:04:49,107 --> 01:04:52,387 Speaker 4: But and I think, alb I mean, I'm a chiefs man. 1317 01:04:52,827 --> 01:04:54,907 Speaker 4: He's been the greatest defending for a while. But I 1318 01:04:55,027 --> 01:04:56,747 Speaker 4: still think we just need that punch it din And 1319 01:04:56,787 --> 01:04:59,747 Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind seeing proper give him a chance at 1320 01:04:59,787 --> 01:05:01,707 Speaker 4: the end of some boone and bearing off the pinch, 1321 01:05:02,107 --> 01:05:05,627 Speaker 4: sort of a five to five three split with Hope 1322 01:05:05,667 --> 01:05:09,627 Speaker 4: and Todd. The team's looking really sharply here. They're chicking 1323 01:05:09,667 --> 01:05:13,627 Speaker 4: half's a bit of worry, but he's good positives there, Yeah. 1324 01:05:13,427 --> 01:05:14,467 Speaker 23: I think you pick up on it. 1325 01:05:14,827 --> 01:05:16,387 Speaker 2: Yeah, you pick up Kne're picking up on a lot 1326 01:05:16,387 --> 01:05:17,867 Speaker 2: of the positive stuff, and you're right, there is a 1327 01:05:17,907 --> 01:05:19,387 Speaker 2: lot to like about it, and just some of the 1328 01:05:19,427 --> 01:05:21,987 Speaker 2: stuff you've picked up on there. I agree. Yeah, Damian 1329 01:05:22,067 --> 01:05:24,187 Speaker 2: McKenzie going around the outside and setting up that try. 1330 01:05:24,267 --> 01:05:25,787 Speaker 2: It was eventually I think it was a foward pass 1331 01:05:25,827 --> 01:05:29,387 Speaker 2: that he threw. But for for Ratima to score that try, 1332 01:05:29,427 --> 01:05:31,667 Speaker 2: that would have been in an absolute world. He probably 1333 01:05:31,707 --> 01:05:35,467 Speaker 2: one of the tries of the season, Latimer, I agree, Satiti, 1334 01:05:35,587 --> 01:05:39,667 Speaker 2: I totally agree. It's it's just finding a way to 1335 01:05:39,827 --> 01:05:42,867 Speaker 2: have that consistency. I mean, at the moment, your Blacks 1336 01:05:42,907 --> 01:05:44,907 Speaker 2: are a brilliant first half team. If we're really boil 1337 01:05:44,947 --> 01:05:47,667 Speaker 2: it down, they're doing great in first halfs. Unfortunately that's 1338 01:05:47,667 --> 01:05:49,587 Speaker 2: for whatever reason, they can't play eighty minutes at the moment. 1339 01:05:50,667 --> 01:05:55,467 Speaker 4: What about Caleb Clark too young, Caleb, He's fine, Mark 1340 01:05:55,547 --> 01:05:59,387 Speaker 4: Klea given the chance. You know, c Se said a 1341 01:05:59,427 --> 01:06:01,347 Speaker 4: bit of getting today than you did the last couple 1342 01:06:01,387 --> 01:06:03,867 Speaker 4: of games. He had a real good game today. Rick, 1343 01:06:04,107 --> 01:06:07,827 Speaker 4: I'm I'm glad that Jeff Goldie mentioned it on the commentary. 1344 01:06:07,867 --> 01:06:08,187 Speaker 16: Please. 1345 01:06:08,347 --> 01:06:10,147 Speaker 4: You know, everyone gives him grief that he's not breaking 1346 01:06:10,187 --> 01:06:13,227 Speaker 4: the line, but there's no better cover defender in defense 1347 01:06:13,507 --> 01:06:17,947 Speaker 4: sweeping back to make that last minute tackles. Then Kirwan 1348 01:06:18,067 --> 01:06:20,027 Speaker 4: he at speed of as though, he just covers thee 1349 01:06:20,067 --> 01:06:22,507 Speaker 4: much the ground, so he's pretty much there for the 1350 01:06:22,587 --> 01:06:25,307 Speaker 4: defense as well as the attack. You know, I mean, 1351 01:06:25,347 --> 01:06:27,427 Speaker 4: if he snipes the gap, but Will Jordan back to 1352 01:06:27,467 --> 01:06:30,427 Speaker 4: Will Jordan, and man, he's just lightning and once once 1353 01:06:30,507 --> 01:06:32,307 Speaker 4: he spots the gap and he just hits the hammer. 1354 01:06:32,907 --> 01:06:35,227 Speaker 4: He takes you back to Cohen, doesn't he. I mean him, 1355 01:06:35,267 --> 01:06:38,067 Speaker 4: Bensmith and Christian Cullen, three of them are ritually the 1356 01:06:38,107 --> 01:06:39,987 Speaker 4: sort of similar way with the hit the gap and 1357 01:06:40,507 --> 01:06:43,587 Speaker 4: the hammer down and they gone. And he's ageous, mate. 1358 01:06:43,627 --> 01:06:46,187 Speaker 4: So I actually like to see more of Jordan at fifteen, 1359 01:06:46,547 --> 01:06:47,947 Speaker 4: maybe boding off the bench. 1360 01:06:48,227 --> 01:06:50,467 Speaker 2: The sort of yeah, we're sorry, came, I've got to move. 1361 01:06:50,507 --> 01:06:51,387 Speaker 2: We may get that. 1362 01:06:51,467 --> 01:06:51,667 Speaker 25: I mean. 1363 01:06:51,947 --> 01:06:53,867 Speaker 2: The ironic part of this whole thing was that Will 1364 01:06:53,907 --> 01:06:55,747 Speaker 2: Jordan was supposed to start on the wing last night. 1365 01:06:56,827 --> 01:06:59,507 Speaker 2: It was only Bowden Barrett pulling out late with illness 1366 01:06:59,747 --> 01:07:02,467 Speaker 2: that saw him go to fall back and then inside 1367 01:07:02,787 --> 01:07:06,547 Speaker 2: ninety seconds he enters the line, you know, just like 1368 01:07:06,627 --> 01:07:10,307 Speaker 2: a good fullback should and scores the first try. But 1369 01:07:10,947 --> 01:07:14,747 Speaker 2: had Boden Barrett not picked up a tummy bug, then 1370 01:07:14,827 --> 01:07:17,707 Speaker 2: Jordan would have been on the wing. There a lot 1371 01:07:17,747 --> 01:07:19,787 Speaker 2: of people are saying, yeah, Ricoe Yoani scored the try, 1372 01:07:19,907 --> 01:07:21,587 Speaker 2: and he was scored it going down the left wing 1373 01:07:21,747 --> 01:07:24,307 Speaker 2: side and all that sort of thing. And this has 1374 01:07:24,387 --> 01:07:28,627 Speaker 2: been a constant theme among all Blacks fans that a 1375 01:07:28,707 --> 01:07:31,347 Speaker 2: lot of people would prefer to see Rico Yuwanni play 1376 01:07:31,387 --> 01:07:34,227 Speaker 2: on the wing. He was actually asked that during the 1377 01:07:34,267 --> 01:07:37,507 Speaker 2: week in a press conference, and his answer was fairly 1378 01:07:37,627 --> 01:07:40,187 Speaker 2: curt I have to say it was I thought we'd 1379 01:07:40,227 --> 01:07:42,707 Speaker 2: put this to bed. I thought we'd I thought we'd 1380 01:07:42,747 --> 01:07:46,227 Speaker 2: moved on from this. Look, Rique Yowanni may have moved 1381 01:07:46,267 --> 01:07:50,107 Speaker 2: on from it, absolutely, But if if Scott Robertson decides 1382 01:07:50,187 --> 01:07:54,507 Speaker 2: that riccaoe Yoanni's best use in his team is off 1383 01:07:54,547 --> 01:07:56,947 Speaker 2: the bench, then then so be it. Here is the 1384 01:07:56,947 --> 01:07:59,587 Speaker 2: man himself, Rico Yuani talking to Elliott Smith after the game. 1385 01:07:59,787 --> 01:08:02,267 Speaker 3: Ricco, well played, And I guess your reaction to what 1386 01:08:02,467 --> 01:08:04,907 Speaker 3: was a pretty tight test mention in the end, Yeah. 1387 01:08:04,867 --> 01:08:05,147 Speaker 5: It was. 1388 01:08:05,867 --> 01:08:08,467 Speaker 26: Obviously they called it test match for a reason, and 1389 01:08:09,347 --> 01:08:11,107 Speaker 26: you know, with the start we had, I thought, you know, this, 1390 01:08:11,267 --> 01:08:13,107 Speaker 26: this could be one of those games we opened it up. 1391 01:08:13,147 --> 01:08:16,987 Speaker 26: But Izzie, you know, to their credit, you know, they stuck. 1392 01:08:16,707 --> 01:08:19,347 Speaker 18: In the fight, stuck in the fight and almost got there. 1393 01:08:19,387 --> 01:08:23,507 Speaker 26: You know, a lot of it I put down to 1394 01:08:23,667 --> 01:08:27,707 Speaker 26: our discipline and ability to execute. But hey, look, those 1395 01:08:27,747 --> 01:08:30,907 Speaker 26: are those pressure moments that we can't fix, which is pleasing. 1396 01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:33,987 Speaker 3: What was the feeling at twenty one nil up around it? 1397 01:08:34,427 --> 01:08:36,027 Speaker 3: It was becoming pretty easy at that point in time. 1398 01:08:36,907 --> 01:08:38,787 Speaker 26: Oh, look, I wouldn't say it was coming easy, but 1399 01:08:39,147 --> 01:08:41,747 Speaker 26: you know, we're pretty happy with how we started and 1400 01:08:42,307 --> 01:08:46,267 Speaker 26: that first half in particular. But again, you know, even 1401 01:08:46,427 --> 01:08:49,667 Speaker 26: in that first half, we still had opportunities to sort 1402 01:08:49,707 --> 01:08:51,347 Speaker 26: of put the put the foot on the throat, but 1403 01:08:51,667 --> 01:08:55,147 Speaker 26: we didn't get it. So we'll make those changes and 1404 01:08:56,067 --> 01:08:58,187 Speaker 26: will he be being an autointest. 1405 01:08:58,107 --> 01:09:00,387 Speaker 3: Another tricky sort of into a game, But what can 1406 01:09:00,427 --> 01:09:02,107 Speaker 3: you put that down to? And I guess on the 1407 01:09:02,147 --> 01:09:04,067 Speaker 3: flip side, how pleasing to close one of those out? 1408 01:09:04,307 --> 01:09:07,947 Speaker 26: Oh yeah, definitely definitely pleasing, you know, And and the 1409 01:09:08,027 --> 01:09:10,827 Speaker 26: belief to actually get over the line now you know 1410 01:09:10,907 --> 01:09:13,587 Speaker 26: we've had to not go well, but finally again this 1411 01:09:13,747 --> 01:09:16,867 Speaker 26: has been the belief and confidence in our geople will 1412 01:09:16,947 --> 01:09:20,867 Speaker 26: just go up. But as for the sort of all 1413 01:09:20,907 --> 01:09:25,507 Speaker 26: discipline second half, I think it's just pressure does funny things, 1414 01:09:25,547 --> 01:09:28,147 Speaker 26: and you know, pressure mixed with the boys the termination 1415 01:09:28,307 --> 01:09:30,227 Speaker 26: and want you know, you're you're going to find that 1416 01:09:30,347 --> 01:09:32,667 Speaker 26: sort of sort of gray area and we just didn't 1417 01:09:32,707 --> 01:09:35,907 Speaker 26: get that balance right tonight. We're pleased to come over 1418 01:09:35,947 --> 01:09:37,387 Speaker 26: with the wind, but you know, we know that we 1419 01:09:37,507 --> 01:09:38,667 Speaker 26: can be a lot more clinical. 1420 01:09:38,827 --> 01:09:40,907 Speaker 3: And just lastly from me, how special to have Harry 1421 01:09:40,947 --> 01:09:42,427 Speaker 3: Plummer a player You've played a lot of rugby with 1422 01:09:42,507 --> 01:09:43,547 Speaker 3: makers all back stab. 1423 01:09:43,787 --> 01:09:43,947 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1424 01:09:44,147 --> 01:09:47,827 Speaker 26: Look, he's the most deservant All Black you know I've 1425 01:09:47,867 --> 01:09:50,147 Speaker 26: seen come through the police. You know, he got man 1426 01:09:50,187 --> 01:09:54,427 Speaker 26: that works so hard and sort of got didn't didn't 1427 01:09:54,467 --> 01:09:57,067 Speaker 26: have the journey that he would have hoped. But you know, 1428 01:09:57,147 --> 01:09:59,347 Speaker 26: we're we're all at the same destination now. And I 1429 01:09:59,467 --> 01:10:02,107 Speaker 26: know his dad and family or all his brothers will 1430 01:10:02,107 --> 01:10:05,027 Speaker 26: be so proud of him, just like we own. 1431 01:10:06,067 --> 01:10:08,347 Speaker 2: Yeah up, just so staked for him as rica are 1432 01:10:08,387 --> 01:10:10,947 Speaker 2: yo Oni twenty two to two Simon. Any thoughts on 1433 01:10:11,027 --> 01:10:12,467 Speaker 2: impact players for the All Blacks? 1434 01:10:13,707 --> 01:10:18,667 Speaker 25: Yeah, mate, yeah, definitely. I think it comes down to 1435 01:10:18,787 --> 01:10:20,787 Speaker 25: what is an impact player. You know, we know that 1436 01:10:21,627 --> 01:10:28,187 Speaker 25: the impact players at the moment are probably not doing 1437 01:10:28,267 --> 01:10:32,347 Speaker 25: the job. But you know, I think Raiser is getting closer. 1438 01:10:33,787 --> 01:10:37,107 Speaker 25: That was that first half standing and the question is, 1439 01:10:37,187 --> 01:10:40,467 Speaker 25: you know, with a guy like a guy like Harry Plummer, 1440 01:10:43,067 --> 01:10:46,187 Speaker 25: I think I think DMC just just carved it up 1441 01:10:46,227 --> 01:10:48,547 Speaker 25: in the first half. Okay, he made a couple of 1442 01:10:48,627 --> 01:10:52,107 Speaker 25: silly the little classes there when Tamaki Williams was in 1443 01:10:52,187 --> 01:10:55,227 Speaker 25: the clear and whatnot, but left it back to a 1444 01:10:55,307 --> 01:10:58,907 Speaker 25: thing at the at the start, and impact to me 1445 01:10:59,147 --> 01:11:02,747 Speaker 25: is someone who can keep that lead and maybe chip 1446 01:11:02,787 --> 01:11:05,947 Speaker 25: away at it by maybe twelve to fifteen points, right, 1447 01:11:06,067 --> 01:11:09,347 Speaker 25: so where Harry Plumber would be perfect. Bit DMC do 1448 01:11:09,427 --> 01:11:12,707 Speaker 25: his thing and then bring and then bring a guy 1449 01:11:12,827 --> 01:11:15,907 Speaker 25: like Harry Plumber on just to steady the ship and 1450 01:11:17,147 --> 01:11:19,627 Speaker 25: and maybe just chip away a little bit more another 1451 01:11:19,667 --> 01:11:24,587 Speaker 25: fifteen to twenty points. And you know, there was some 1452 01:11:24,787 --> 01:11:30,747 Speaker 25: certain last night that it was just borderline, but then 1453 01:11:30,747 --> 01:11:32,507 Speaker 25: there's a lot of stuff in ragatid that would just 1454 01:11:32,547 --> 01:11:36,667 Speaker 25: stick and you know we'd be three three three disallowed tries. Mate, 1455 01:11:36,707 --> 01:11:37,347 Speaker 25: that's that's. 1456 01:11:37,267 --> 01:11:38,347 Speaker 5: Twenty twenty one points. 1457 01:11:38,987 --> 01:11:42,707 Speaker 25: Yeah, yeah, you know what is an impact player? They mate, 1458 01:11:42,747 --> 01:11:45,587 Speaker 25: you come in and light the whole thing up on fire. 1459 01:11:46,107 --> 01:11:49,027 Speaker 2: It's such an interesting point, Simon. It's such an interesting 1460 01:11:49,107 --> 01:11:51,027 Speaker 2: point you make because I guess I guess the assumption 1461 01:11:51,187 --> 01:11:53,547 Speaker 2: if you've got a Harry Plumber as a guy to to, 1462 01:11:53,787 --> 01:11:55,787 Speaker 2: you know, to steady things up, is that you will 1463 01:11:55,867 --> 01:11:58,587 Speaker 2: be ahead. And I guess the common health view is 1464 01:11:58,627 --> 01:12:00,667 Speaker 2: that the impact player someone who comes on and changes 1465 01:12:00,707 --> 01:12:03,947 Speaker 2: the game if you're behind. So but it's it's a 1466 01:12:04,027 --> 01:12:05,587 Speaker 2: really interestact point that we don't. 1467 01:12:05,467 --> 01:12:08,587 Speaker 25: Need to change, and I think that's where they're getting to, mate, 1468 01:12:08,587 --> 01:12:11,307 Speaker 25: you know. I mean, he's an awesome player, Dmac, and 1469 01:12:11,347 --> 01:12:12,987 Speaker 25: everyone says that he should be off the bench, and 1470 01:12:13,507 --> 01:12:15,867 Speaker 25: maybe he should be. But I just thought that maybe 1471 01:12:15,907 --> 01:12:17,947 Speaker 25: that's just flip it and think of it like that 1472 01:12:18,187 --> 01:12:21,067 Speaker 25: and it might be something there. Maybe that's what Trade's 1473 01:12:21,067 --> 01:12:21,427 Speaker 25: trying to do. 1474 01:12:21,547 --> 01:12:24,067 Speaker 23: I don't know, but you know, I didn't need to 1475 01:12:24,107 --> 01:12:24,547 Speaker 23: look at. 1476 01:12:24,507 --> 01:12:25,787 Speaker 25: What is an impact player? 1477 01:12:26,547 --> 01:12:26,747 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1478 01:12:26,867 --> 01:12:28,267 Speaker 25: Anyway, No, it's a. 1479 01:12:28,347 --> 01:12:32,947 Speaker 2: Very good point. Not great point, Simon, really good point again. Yeah, 1480 01:12:32,987 --> 01:12:34,987 Speaker 2: you just I guess you're naturally assumed, don't you a 1481 01:12:35,067 --> 01:12:37,747 Speaker 2: game changer, someone who can give you but a fizz, 1482 01:12:37,827 --> 01:12:40,547 Speaker 2: someone who can you know, like a d mac or 1483 01:12:40,587 --> 01:12:42,667 Speaker 2: Boden Barred in his prime when he was he was 1484 01:12:42,747 --> 01:12:45,027 Speaker 2: the best impact player in the world. Somebody come on 1485 01:12:45,187 --> 01:12:49,227 Speaker 2: and yeah and show you some razzle dazzle. But you're 1486 01:12:49,267 --> 01:12:51,747 Speaker 2: so right. Why can't an impact player be a guy 1487 01:12:51,827 --> 01:12:54,627 Speaker 2: comes on and closes for you, like a you know, 1488 01:12:54,787 --> 01:12:58,107 Speaker 2: like a pitcher in baseball. They bring them on to close. 1489 01:12:59,547 --> 01:13:01,787 Speaker 2: Great point, Simon, call again, mate, good chatting to your 1490 01:13:01,867 --> 01:13:04,707 Speaker 2: nineteen to two. We're back after this with James mcconey. 1491 01:13:05,427 --> 01:13:09,147 Speaker 1: The tough question off the turf Weekend Sport with Jason 1492 01:13:09,227 --> 01:13:13,387 Speaker 1: Tyme and GJ. Gunnerholmes, New Zealand's most trusted home builder. 1493 01:13:14,947 --> 01:13:18,587 Speaker 2: One four Sunday afternoons mean a lot of things, but 1494 01:13:18,707 --> 01:13:21,027 Speaker 2: they mean James mcconey, Hello, mate. 1495 01:13:21,747 --> 01:13:22,507 Speaker 7: How are you, Pony? 1496 01:13:22,547 --> 01:13:23,867 Speaker 2: You're right, I'm good. 1497 01:13:23,987 --> 01:13:24,387 Speaker 16: I'm good. 1498 01:13:24,467 --> 01:13:28,907 Speaker 2: What were your What were your takeaways after last night's test? 1499 01:13:30,587 --> 01:13:33,547 Speaker 7: Domino's and a little bit of hell Pizzay as well? 1500 01:13:34,267 --> 01:13:34,507 Speaker 17: Good? 1501 01:13:34,827 --> 01:13:37,427 Speaker 7: Yeah, And I wasn't doing the ordering. It was a 1502 01:13:37,587 --> 01:13:39,227 Speaker 7: it was a friend. I don't know. We doubled, we 1503 01:13:39,347 --> 01:13:42,747 Speaker 7: doubled up, but I think let's start with the positives. Though, 1504 01:13:43,027 --> 01:13:47,507 Speaker 7: courtis that him? Wallace a Tt Caleb Clark. I mean 1505 01:13:48,307 --> 01:13:51,467 Speaker 7: I feel like there's one two of them a sort 1506 01:13:51,467 --> 01:13:54,747 Speaker 7: of coming of age, and I think Caleb's just reinvented himself, 1507 01:13:54,867 --> 01:13:55,947 Speaker 7: right yep. 1508 01:13:56,347 --> 01:14:00,347 Speaker 2: Yeah, Wallace to Tt. I love the way he plays, 1509 01:14:00,707 --> 01:14:03,227 Speaker 2: you know, solving a problem for the All Blacks at 1510 01:14:03,267 --> 01:14:05,387 Speaker 2: number six when you're not even really a number six. 1511 01:14:05,427 --> 01:14:07,027 Speaker 2: I think he played it every game for the chief 1512 01:14:07,067 --> 01:14:09,507 Speaker 2: certainly that from the start at number eight, didn't he 1513 01:14:09,547 --> 01:14:12,107 Speaker 2: but he I just really like the way he goes 1514 01:14:12,147 --> 01:14:12,667 Speaker 2: about things. 1515 01:14:13,427 --> 01:14:16,307 Speaker 7: Yeah, There's there's a stability to him, even though he 1516 01:14:16,507 --> 01:14:19,907 Speaker 7: is an excitement machine machine at times. Just the way 1517 01:14:20,147 --> 01:14:23,547 Speaker 7: he seems to own that position, which isn't the most 1518 01:14:23,627 --> 01:14:30,107 Speaker 7: familiar for him at blindside physically impressive, dominates contact, but 1519 01:14:30,467 --> 01:14:34,547 Speaker 7: just really seems like a solid option, you know, shades 1520 01:14:34,547 --> 01:14:38,067 Speaker 7: of Jerome Caino. There's there's lots to like about Wallace. 1521 01:14:38,147 --> 01:14:41,787 Speaker 7: The t t Courtez, though, I felt that everything he could, 1522 01:14:41,947 --> 01:14:43,827 Speaker 7: did everything right. He finished off what should have been 1523 01:14:44,227 --> 01:14:46,187 Speaker 7: one of the greatest tries of all time if it 1524 01:14:46,307 --> 01:14:49,067 Speaker 7: wasn't for that forward pass, which was a fair call, 1525 01:14:49,147 --> 01:14:53,427 Speaker 7: but I've seen worse passes just ignored. But again, the 1526 01:14:53,827 --> 01:14:59,107 Speaker 7: Courtez just dominated on attack and defense. The hit by 1527 01:14:59,147 --> 01:15:01,347 Speaker 7: Kroi and Betty. I think Caine mentioned that in stealing 1528 01:15:01,427 --> 01:15:06,027 Speaker 7: most of my notes today. But one thing that Courtez, 1529 01:15:06,347 --> 01:15:10,067 Speaker 7: who was set the tempo perfectly. I think he his 1530 01:15:10,267 --> 01:15:13,707 Speaker 7: clearance was was next level, and I think that that 1531 01:15:13,947 --> 01:15:15,947 Speaker 7: is why we saw those tries from the All Blacks. 1532 01:15:16,947 --> 01:15:20,627 Speaker 2: What about Damien McKenzie, Yeah, I've got. 1533 01:15:20,587 --> 01:15:22,427 Speaker 7: Him in my notes as well. Ponty, Yes, thank you 1534 01:15:22,547 --> 01:15:27,427 Speaker 7: for that. Okay, let's just let's just rip off the 1535 01:15:27,507 --> 01:15:29,667 Speaker 7: band aid. He won't be happy with that, will he 1536 01:15:29,827 --> 01:15:32,187 Speaker 7: There were there were three or four tries left out there, 1537 01:15:32,427 --> 01:15:35,707 Speaker 7: and and there were his name will be on a 1538 01:15:35,747 --> 01:15:37,587 Speaker 7: couple of them. So the video session is going to 1539 01:15:37,587 --> 01:15:42,107 Speaker 7: be a tough one for dmac. But I also agree 1540 01:15:42,147 --> 01:15:46,467 Speaker 7: with Joe Schmidt, which was, you know, he creates so much, 1541 01:15:46,947 --> 01:15:49,267 Speaker 7: would you really want to take that away when that's 1542 01:15:49,547 --> 01:15:52,667 Speaker 7: kind of where you're at, where he puts fear into 1543 01:15:52,867 --> 01:15:57,027 Speaker 7: the defense. Yeah, there were three passes in particular that 1544 01:15:57,627 --> 01:16:00,427 Speaker 7: he'll want to have back. But I look back at 1545 01:16:00,467 --> 01:16:02,347 Speaker 7: the World Cup Final last year and I thought our 1546 01:16:02,347 --> 01:16:04,147 Speaker 7: biggest problem with the All Blacks is that we didn't 1547 01:16:04,187 --> 01:16:07,267 Speaker 7: throw passes at the right time. So he was throwing 1548 01:16:07,307 --> 01:16:10,947 Speaker 7: the passes they just went that great pony and then 1549 01:16:11,107 --> 01:16:12,947 Speaker 7: to one of them he didn't need to spiral it. 1550 01:16:12,987 --> 01:16:16,187 Speaker 7: The other one he just didn't need to backhand flick it. 1551 01:16:16,427 --> 01:16:20,427 Speaker 7: So sometimes the easy option is to shovel it on. 1552 01:16:20,947 --> 01:16:23,747 Speaker 7: You know, you don't need to put a little bit 1553 01:16:23,787 --> 01:16:26,427 Speaker 7: of finesse on it. It just needs to be accurate. 1554 01:16:27,147 --> 01:16:28,787 Speaker 2: I think the other thing that's being missed a little 1555 01:16:28,827 --> 01:16:31,387 Speaker 2: bit is that in a game that the All Blacks 1556 01:16:31,427 --> 01:16:34,547 Speaker 2: won by three points, he was perfect from the boot 1557 01:16:34,947 --> 01:16:36,827 Speaker 2: five from five and there were some of those tries 1558 01:16:36,867 --> 01:16:38,427 Speaker 2: were scored wide out. 1559 01:16:39,907 --> 01:16:43,027 Speaker 7: Honestly, I thought that the tries were brilliant, but then 1560 01:16:43,267 --> 01:16:46,427 Speaker 7: the ones they left out there absolutely pulling your hair out, 1561 01:16:46,507 --> 01:16:50,787 Speaker 7: coach killers as they call them. Look, the fact is 1562 01:16:50,987 --> 01:16:54,307 Speaker 7: that the All Blacks have got a case of the 1563 01:16:54,387 --> 01:16:56,627 Speaker 7: yips in the second half and in the final quarter. 1564 01:16:56,987 --> 01:17:01,187 Speaker 7: It's a It is a choke. Really, there's no other 1565 01:17:01,267 --> 01:17:04,227 Speaker 7: way to put it. And so they've got a remedy 1566 01:17:04,267 --> 01:17:06,267 Speaker 7: it somehow. I don't know. Look, I think we're Bowden 1567 01:17:06,427 --> 01:17:08,187 Speaker 7: coming back into that team, even though I thought Will 1568 01:17:08,267 --> 01:17:11,467 Speaker 7: Jordan was great at fullback. He'll provide that stability, he'll 1569 01:17:11,507 --> 01:17:15,267 Speaker 7: provide an extra kicking game. I mean, I've got no 1570 01:17:15,387 --> 01:17:17,787 Speaker 7: problem with Boden moving into ten. I think he's a 1571 01:17:17,867 --> 01:17:20,787 Speaker 7: great team that's been underrated for too long. You know, 1572 01:17:20,907 --> 01:17:24,387 Speaker 7: will play over the year twice. But I still feel 1573 01:17:24,427 --> 01:17:26,347 Speaker 7: like d Max should be on the field. That's my 1574 01:17:27,267 --> 01:17:28,187 Speaker 7: feeling basically. 1575 01:17:28,747 --> 01:17:31,187 Speaker 2: All Right, A couple of other matters around. Did you 1576 01:17:31,267 --> 01:17:33,187 Speaker 2: watch the Rooster's manly game last night? 1577 01:17:34,547 --> 01:17:34,747 Speaker 5: Yes? 1578 01:17:34,827 --> 01:17:38,627 Speaker 7: I did, and it's amazing how a team that looked 1579 01:17:38,667 --> 01:17:42,627 Speaker 7: totally outclass last week by Penrith comes back and outclasses Manly, 1580 01:17:43,107 --> 01:17:46,227 Speaker 7: who have got plenty of stars, although when I look around, 1581 01:17:46,347 --> 01:17:48,187 Speaker 7: I mean they've got three Trouble of Itch brothers. I 1582 01:17:48,227 --> 01:17:50,987 Speaker 7: mean that's so one family is providing a lot of 1583 01:17:51,027 --> 01:17:54,027 Speaker 7: their team. They've got Matt Lodge, who I hate with 1584 01:17:54,107 --> 01:17:57,907 Speaker 7: a passion, who who left the Warriors of the Lurch 1585 01:17:58,347 --> 01:18:00,587 Speaker 7: is the home invasion guy. If people are wondering why 1586 01:18:00,627 --> 01:18:05,547 Speaker 7: do I hate Matt Lodge is he broke into a 1587 01:18:05,667 --> 01:18:09,107 Speaker 7: New York home and terrorize the family and it was 1588 01:18:09,787 --> 01:18:13,187 Speaker 7: pretty much a violent chrome and he's ended up being 1589 01:18:13,227 --> 01:18:15,427 Speaker 7: able to live his life and play Rugby League and 1590 01:18:15,667 --> 01:18:18,347 Speaker 7: then rip off the Warriors. So I wasn't unhappy to 1591 01:18:18,387 --> 01:18:21,747 Speaker 7: see Manly get eliminated because of that. But I did 1592 01:18:21,907 --> 01:18:26,867 Speaker 7: notice that with the with the roosters there, you know 1593 01:18:27,107 --> 01:18:31,507 Speaker 7: jose Joey Marnhu and Joseph Suili, they are both going 1594 01:18:31,507 --> 01:18:32,987 Speaker 7: to rugby next year, so it's going to be a 1595 01:18:33,067 --> 01:18:35,867 Speaker 7: very different team and I think Joey Marny won't take 1596 01:18:35,947 --> 01:18:37,467 Speaker 7: long to get up to speed and be an option 1597 01:18:37,587 --> 01:18:38,787 Speaker 7: for the All Blacks and midfield. 1598 01:18:40,347 --> 01:18:42,267 Speaker 2: We will watch the space. Hey, I've just I wanted 1599 01:18:42,307 --> 01:18:44,107 Speaker 2: to ask you as well. I think it's in your 1600 01:18:44,187 --> 01:18:48,547 Speaker 2: notes about show, he O'taney doing something that nobody in 1601 01:18:48,667 --> 01:18:53,307 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball has done. I don't think ever. Fifty 1602 01:18:53,867 --> 01:18:58,307 Speaker 2: home runs and fifty stolen bases in a single season. 1603 01:18:58,427 --> 01:19:00,947 Speaker 2: It seems incredible that that doesn't happen very often, but 1604 01:19:01,547 --> 01:19:02,707 Speaker 2: it's never happened before. 1605 01:19:03,547 --> 01:19:06,307 Speaker 7: Yeah, and he's an unlikely based stealer at six foot four, 1606 01:19:06,867 --> 01:19:12,827 Speaker 7: like he's your height pony and running around trying to 1607 01:19:12,907 --> 01:19:16,427 Speaker 7: steal bases like he's a little sprinter. So Shoe really 1608 01:19:16,467 --> 01:19:20,067 Speaker 7: added that to his arsenal when he couldn't pitch this 1609 01:19:20,227 --> 01:19:24,787 Speaker 7: year because he had some elbow ligament damage, so he thought, 1610 01:19:24,827 --> 01:19:27,827 Speaker 7: oh well, I'll steal bases instead. Sets this incredible record. 1611 01:19:28,267 --> 01:19:31,067 Speaker 7: He's up to fifty two home runs. Only Aaron Jones 1612 01:19:31,147 --> 01:19:33,707 Speaker 7: of the New York Yankees is ahead of ahead of 1613 01:19:33,787 --> 01:19:37,587 Speaker 7: him for home runs. He's just incredible. Some people saying, 1614 01:19:37,747 --> 01:19:41,747 Speaker 7: is he the greatest athlete on the planet at the moment, Well, 1615 01:19:41,907 --> 01:19:46,107 Speaker 7: it's it's tricky, but whatever he's doing, he's getting eyeballs 1616 01:19:46,147 --> 01:19:49,507 Speaker 7: on the sport. He's probably worth his seven hundred million 1617 01:19:49,947 --> 01:19:51,107 Speaker 7: Jewish dollar contracts. 1618 01:19:52,027 --> 01:19:55,267 Speaker 2: That my god, what is I mean? 1619 01:19:55,347 --> 01:19:58,547 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's another level. So look, if we do have 1620 01:19:58,667 --> 01:20:00,507 Speaker 7: time to talk about cricket. All I'll say is, if 1621 01:20:00,547 --> 01:20:04,667 Speaker 7: you've got a young cricketer who's got good hand eye coordination. Unfortunately, 1622 01:20:04,787 --> 01:20:06,507 Speaker 7: this is just for boys at the moment, because that 1623 01:20:06,507 --> 01:20:09,747 Speaker 7: that's where they get paid the big bucks in baseball. 1624 01:20:10,107 --> 01:20:13,947 Speaker 7: Send them to baseball. Do not do not worry about 1625 01:20:14,747 --> 01:20:17,667 Speaker 7: any ipl You can go to baseball. If they're that good, 1626 01:20:18,787 --> 01:20:21,227 Speaker 7: get them over there and see what they can do. 1627 01:20:21,707 --> 01:20:23,587 Speaker 2: Yeah, seven hundred, mel Hey, just on the cricket. I've 1628 01:20:23,587 --> 01:20:25,587 Speaker 2: got much McClanahan after two to talk about the black 1629 01:20:25,587 --> 01:20:27,507 Speaker 2: Caps because so let's not forget they go into day 1630 01:20:27,587 --> 01:20:31,067 Speaker 2: four of their Test in a couple of hours time. 1631 01:20:32,507 --> 01:20:34,427 Speaker 2: You wouldn't want to be chasing too many more, would 1632 01:20:34,467 --> 01:20:36,467 Speaker 2: you that?

It's good to have that fair 1637 01:20:48,347 --> 01:20:51,307 Speaker 7: factor back in. And look, I looked at the team. 1638 01:20:51,347 --> 01:20:54,467 Speaker 7: It's actually quite an aging team this one. I feel 1639 01:20:54,507 --> 01:20:56,187 Speaker 7: like the black Caps Test team is going to fall 1640 01:20:56,227 --> 01:21:00,067 Speaker 7: off a cliff at some point because everyone apart from Ravender, 1641 01:21:00,267 --> 01:21:03,387 Speaker 7: O'Rourke and Phillips are in their thirties, and some of 1642 01:21:03,467 --> 01:21:07,187 Speaker 7: them well into their thirties, so came Leians and thirty four, Saldi, 1643 01:21:07,267 --> 01:21:11,387 Speaker 7: thirty five, you know, even Daryl Mitchell is thirty three. 1644 01:21:11,587 --> 01:21:14,907 Speaker 7: So there's a few selections. It's going to be an 1645 01:21:14,947 --> 01:21:17,507 Speaker 7: interesting time. But I did see Paddles the great Sir 1646 01:21:17,627 --> 01:21:20,987 Speaker 7: Richard Hadley say hands off, well, O, don't you dare 1647 01:21:21,067 --> 01:21:22,787 Speaker 7: take him to the IPL. We want him to be 1648 01:21:23,307 --> 01:21:26,187 Speaker 7: a Test bowler only. And I'm just thinking, I love 1649 01:21:26,227 --> 01:21:29,587 Speaker 7: what you're saying. Paddles are serve pedals, but good luck 1650 01:21:29,667 --> 01:21:31,587 Speaker 7: with that because he will get a lot of money 1651 01:21:31,627 --> 01:21:32,787 Speaker 7: turning at him very soon. 1652 01:21:32,987 --> 01:21:34,667 Speaker 2: Absolutely right.

That's a lead 1790 01:29:01,747 --> 01:29:03,987 Speaker 2: of two hundred and two runs with two days to play. 1791 01:29:04,267 --> 01:29:06,547 Speaker 2: Will O'Rourke, has mentioned before, has been the best of 1792 01:29:06,587 --> 01:29:08,667 Speaker 2: the New Zealand bowlers by quite some distance. 1793 01:29:10,707 --> 01:29:16,947 Speaker 26: Gone brilliant, Oh good, it was a delayed decision to 1794 01:29:17,027 --> 01:29:18,667 Speaker 26: get that leg slip in place. 1795 01:29:21,027 --> 01:29:21,627 Speaker 1: Edge gone. 1796 01:29:21,827 --> 01:29:23,867 Speaker 18: That's a big one night. 1797 01:29:24,427 --> 01:29:27,587 Speaker 2: New Zealand got bang, bang and bang yeah. Will I 1798 01:29:27,707 --> 01:29:30,627 Speaker 2: Rock taking three of the four second innings wickets to 1799 01:29:30,747 --> 01:29:33,147 Speaker 2: fall to have eight for the match so far. Yesterday 1800 01:29:33,307 --> 01:29:37,027 Speaker 2: was a rest day for the Sri Lankan presidential elections. 1801 01:29:37,467 --> 01:29:40,067 Speaker 2: Day four is underway in just over a couple of 1802 01:29:40,147 --> 01:29:43,427 Speaker 2: hours time. Former Black Apps placement Mitch mcclenahan is part 1803 01:29:43,467 --> 01:29:46,387 Speaker 2: of the commentary team in Gaul and he joins us. Now, 1804 01:29:46,467 --> 01:29:49,267 Speaker 2: let's start with the positive, Mitch, and well, will I 1805 01:29:49,387 --> 01:29:52,427 Speaker 2: Rock's the obvious one. What has impressed you most about 1806 01:29:52,507 --> 01:29:55,067 Speaker 2: Willow rocks bowling in this Test match so far? 1807 01:29:56,147 --> 01:29:59,547 Speaker 6: Oh, betty, second wicket's first and foremost. It's sensational for 1808 01:29:59,627 --> 01:30:02,747 Speaker 6: a fast baller to do what he's done in these conditions. 1809 01:30:03,307 --> 01:30:05,427 Speaker 6: I know that they tried to make this wicket a 1810 01:30:05,507 --> 01:30:08,387 Speaker 6: little bit flatter than they usually would here in gaul 1811 01:30:08,507 --> 01:30:11,147 Speaker 6: because they've just come back from England, that three match 1812 01:30:11,227 --> 01:30:13,587 Speaker 6: series against England where they won that last Test, and 1813 01:30:13,987 --> 01:30:16,067 Speaker 6: they're a little bit concerned from a Schlankan point of 1814 01:30:16,147 --> 01:30:17,107 Speaker 6: view that they weren't going to. 1815 01:30:17,107 --> 01:30:19,867 Speaker 10: Be used to their own conditions and that aided will. 1816 01:30:20,467 --> 01:30:22,547 Speaker 6: There was a little bit extra bounds, particularly from the 1817 01:30:22,667 --> 01:30:26,587 Speaker 6: fourth end on day one, but what was amazing to 1818 01:30:26,627 --> 01:30:28,547 Speaker 6: see was the amount of late movement he got off 1819 01:30:28,587 --> 01:30:30,467 Speaker 6: the surface as well, just a little bit of swing 1820 01:30:30,587 --> 01:30:32,987 Speaker 6: and when it swings laid into the surface, it keeps 1821 01:30:33,027 --> 01:30:35,507 Speaker 6: on going. It reminds me a bit of Lockey Ferguson 1822 01:30:35,587 --> 01:30:37,387 Speaker 6: with the white ball when he gets that new ball 1823 01:30:37,427 --> 01:30:40,867 Speaker 6: that always keeps on coming back at the right hand, 1824 01:30:41,067 --> 01:30:44,267 Speaker 6: and you know players like Angelo Matthews don't like it 1825 01:30:44,347 --> 01:30:47,267 Speaker 6: on the back foot and he dominated straight away. So 1826 01:30:47,787 --> 01:30:50,827 Speaker 6: that was impressive to see and I guess throughout it's 1827 01:30:50,867 --> 01:30:52,427 Speaker 6: just the intent to keep on coming back. 1828 01:30:52,467 --> 01:30:54,227 Speaker 10: Look, he's not going to hit the same spot all 1829 01:30:54,267 --> 01:30:54,547 Speaker 10: the time. 1830 01:30:54,627 --> 01:30:56,987 Speaker 6: He's onely young in his cricketing career and there's going 1831 01:30:57,027 --> 01:30:59,907 Speaker 6: to be a few way with deliveries, but in between 1832 01:30:59,987 --> 01:31:04,347 Speaker 6: that there's some seriously, seriously good cricketing deliveries at this level. 1833 01:31:04,507 --> 01:31:07,867 Speaker 6: So the skills he's possessed and his ability to also 1834 01:31:08,147 --> 01:31:10,467 Speaker 6: just have those conversations with Tim. 1835 01:31:10,347 --> 01:31:12,467 Speaker 28: Saudi and you can see how they're working to get 1836 01:31:12,507 --> 01:31:12,747 Speaker 28: it to. 1837 01:31:12,827 --> 01:31:15,067 Speaker 10: Try and figure guys out and set fields. 1838 01:31:15,067 --> 01:31:18,067 Speaker 6: As we saw late last night with that catch Tom 1839 01:31:18,147 --> 01:31:21,427 Speaker 6: Latham at leg gulling, just little plans like that. 1840 01:31:21,547 --> 01:31:23,387 Speaker 10: It looks like he's learning very quickly on the job. 1841 01:31:23,827 --> 01:31:26,587 Speaker 2: He's bold just twelve overs in the second innings. The 1842 01:31:26,627 --> 01:31:30,307 Speaker 2: second innings has had seventy two overs so far. Is 1843 01:31:30,387 --> 01:31:33,267 Speaker 2: this good management of Willow Rourke or is this under 1844 01:31:33,387 --> 01:31:34,907 Speaker 2: use of Willow Rourke. 1845 01:31:36,987 --> 01:31:38,147 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's difficult, isn't it? 1846 01:31:38,267 --> 01:31:42,107 Speaker 6: Because he is only three Test matches into his career. 1847 01:31:42,267 --> 01:31:44,347 Speaker 6: He's coming back from an injury we pulled up in 1848 01:31:44,387 --> 01:31:48,187 Speaker 6: our last Test against all that Test in Wellington against Australia. 1849 01:31:48,307 --> 01:31:51,347 Speaker 6: So you're obviously concerned that the workload at this level 1850 01:31:51,627 --> 01:31:55,387 Speaker 6: maybe a little bit step too far, particularly in these conditions. 1851 01:31:55,467 --> 01:31:58,507 Speaker 6: It's hot, it's hot out there, the grounds soft, so 1852 01:31:58,627 --> 01:32:01,467 Speaker 6: it is difficult for fast bowlers. Look, I think they've 1853 01:32:01,467 --> 01:32:04,867 Speaker 6: probably used them pretty well there was a period yesterday 1854 01:32:04,907 --> 01:32:07,987 Speaker 6: in particular where the game just started to meander along 1855 01:32:08,267 --> 01:32:10,907 Speaker 6: and go at the pace that the Schlankans like to 1856 01:32:10,947 --> 01:32:12,787 Speaker 6: play their Test cricket. They don't want to be rush, 1857 01:32:12,867 --> 01:32:15,827 Speaker 6: They just want to knock it around and take it 1858 01:32:15,867 --> 01:32:18,707 Speaker 6: pretty cruisy. And there might have been an argument to 1859 01:32:18,707 --> 01:32:20,987 Speaker 6: bring him back maybe five or six overs earlier, to 1860 01:32:21,107 --> 01:32:24,187 Speaker 6: try and spark the New Zealand bowling innings into a 1861 01:32:24,227 --> 01:32:26,787 Speaker 6: bit of light, because at the moment he's the only 1862 01:32:26,827 --> 01:32:28,907 Speaker 6: one who really seems to lift the energy. 1863 01:32:29,067 --> 01:32:29,707 Speaker 28: On the park. 1864 01:32:30,027 --> 01:32:34,267 Speaker 6: So yeah, it's a difficult one because you've also got 1865 01:32:34,347 --> 01:32:37,587 Speaker 6: to remember how he's gone in this Test match in particular. 1866 01:32:38,267 --> 01:32:40,107 Speaker 6: You are probably going to want him to be playing 1867 01:32:40,387 --> 01:32:42,907 Speaker 6: almost all of those Test matches against India as well, 1868 01:32:43,067 --> 01:32:44,747 Speaker 6: So it might be a little bit a look to 1869 01:32:44,867 --> 01:32:47,387 Speaker 6: the future, but you've got to win this Test match 1870 01:32:47,507 --> 01:32:49,947 Speaker 6: right now, so at the moment he's probably. 1871 01:32:49,747 --> 01:32:50,467 Speaker 10: Your biggest threat. 1872 01:32:51,107 --> 01:32:54,267 Speaker 2: Between lunch and tea on Day three, Sri Lanka added 1873 01:32:54,307 --> 01:32:56,307 Speaker 2: one hundred and two runs and thirty one overs, didn't 1874 01:32:56,347 --> 01:33:00,147 Speaker 2: lose a wicket. How crucial a session might might that be? 1875 01:33:00,507 --> 01:33:03,787 Speaker 2: And was that a session perhaps the black Caps could 1876 01:33:03,907 --> 01:33:04,587 Speaker 2: have done more? 1877 01:33:06,387 --> 01:33:08,387 Speaker 6: Yeah, It probably comes back to exactly that they probably 1878 01:33:08,427 --> 01:33:10,587 Speaker 6: did need to use Will O'Rourke and a couple of 1879 01:33:10,667 --> 01:33:13,147 Speaker 6: extra spells, whether it's two overs, just to try and 1880 01:33:13,227 --> 01:33:18,707 Speaker 6: increase that intensity. Yeap Erani and Chundermel better beautifully didn't 1881 01:33:18,707 --> 01:33:20,347 Speaker 6: they So they weren't. 1882 01:33:20,147 --> 01:33:23,307 Speaker 10: Put under a lot of pressure. Maybe because they were 1883 01:33:23,307 --> 01:33:25,507 Speaker 10: actually on the aggressive side. 1884 01:33:25,627 --> 01:33:28,507 Speaker 6: They actually didn't let the lights of Glenn Phillips or 1885 01:33:28,627 --> 01:33:32,587 Speaker 6: Ajs Battel really settle and they really put them under 1886 01:33:32,627 --> 01:33:34,467 Speaker 6: pressure knowing that spin was going to be a threat. 1887 01:33:34,507 --> 01:33:39,387 Speaker 6: I thought Connor Rudner was exceptional the way he reverse 1888 01:33:39,427 --> 01:33:41,867 Speaker 6: swept out of the raft and was able then to 1889 01:33:41,987 --> 01:33:45,027 Speaker 6: rock back and had against the spin to those gaps 1890 01:33:45,067 --> 01:33:47,867 Speaker 6: and also use the sweep shot effectively. 1891 01:33:48,107 --> 01:33:49,587 Speaker 28: So yeah, it's one of. 1892 01:33:49,587 --> 01:33:51,347 Speaker 6: Those things if you're trying to bowl in an area 1893 01:33:51,387 --> 01:33:53,547 Speaker 6: and the batsman doesn't let you and they have the 1894 01:33:53,627 --> 01:33:56,347 Speaker 6: skills to be able to negate your plans, it can 1895 01:33:56,427 --> 01:34:00,027 Speaker 6: be of a challenging to find the hole in the armory. 1896 01:34:00,107 --> 01:34:01,787 Speaker 6: And for Schlanka, yeah. 1897 01:34:01,667 --> 01:34:03,387 Speaker 10: I think that session has put them in a really 1898 01:34:03,427 --> 01:34:05,427 Speaker 10: good position. But before that, I. 1899 01:34:05,427 --> 01:34:07,547 Speaker 6: Think New Zealand let them selves down. They had a really, 1900 01:34:07,947 --> 01:34:10,787 Speaker 6: really good opportunity Overnight to come out and put a 1901 01:34:10,907 --> 01:34:14,467 Speaker 6: massive lead on the board, and they just looked like 1902 01:34:14,547 --> 01:34:17,747 Speaker 6: they were getting some momentum. And then Tom Blundell got 1903 01:34:17,827 --> 01:34:19,707 Speaker 6: caught on the gloves and then Darryl Mitchell was so 1904 01:34:19,867 --> 01:34:21,787 Speaker 6: slow off the mark. I don't know if it looked 1905 01:34:21,827 --> 01:34:24,947 Speaker 6: like that on the TV, but was standing on his 1906 01:34:25,107 --> 01:34:27,147 Speaker 6: back and as really sloughed the mark and it was 1907 01:34:27,147 --> 01:34:30,627 Speaker 6: an unnecessary runout in all honesty should have been an 1908 01:34:30,667 --> 01:34:33,587 Speaker 6: easy single. So that was probably the turning points. And 1909 01:34:34,147 --> 01:34:35,827 Speaker 6: once you get a couple of spinners who are very 1910 01:34:35,827 --> 01:34:38,067 Speaker 6: good in these conditions, they seem to be able to 1911 01:34:38,107 --> 01:34:39,387 Speaker 6: mop up the tail real quick. 1912 01:34:39,787 --> 01:34:39,947 Speaker 18: Yeah. 1913 01:34:39,987 --> 01:34:42,667 Speaker 2: You look at New Zealand's first and scorecard match. Everybody 1914 01:34:42,747 --> 01:34:45,947 Speaker 2: in the top seven got to double figures to varying degrees. 1915 01:34:45,987 --> 01:34:48,147 Speaker 2: They all look good, but all failed to kick on 1916 01:34:48,267 --> 01:34:51,907 Speaker 2: Tom Latham's seventy the top score. How much do you 1917 01:34:51,987 --> 01:34:54,467 Speaker 2: reckon that's going to hurt New Zealand. They as they 1918 01:34:54,547 --> 01:34:57,107 Speaker 2: try to seek victory in this Test match or even now, 1919 01:34:57,267 --> 01:34:59,507 Speaker 2: try to make sure that they're not on the losing 1920 01:34:59,627 --> 01:35:00,067 Speaker 2: end of it. 1921 01:35:01,907 --> 01:35:04,387 Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I think they really there. With the conditions 1922 01:35:04,427 --> 01:35:05,787 Speaker 6: the way they were, they should have been able to 1923 01:35:05,827 --> 01:35:09,227 Speaker 6: push for four four hundred plus, and you know, you 1924 01:35:09,347 --> 01:35:10,547 Speaker 6: saw how Glenn Phillips came. 1925 01:35:10,467 --> 01:35:11,947 Speaker 28: Out and beat it at the end. If if you 1926 01:35:12,027 --> 01:35:13,707 Speaker 28: had a batting partner there with him. 1927 01:35:13,947 --> 01:35:16,547 Speaker 10: You know, it could have been a massive score. And 1928 01:35:17,147 --> 01:35:20,467 Speaker 10: I think Tom Latham and Kane will be particularly disappointed 1929 01:35:20,507 --> 01:35:21,027 Speaker 10: with themselves. 1930 01:35:21,227 --> 01:35:22,947 Speaker 6: They've done all the hard work and at that point 1931 01:35:23,027 --> 01:35:26,947 Speaker 6: that partnership that they had, they were dominating and the 1932 01:35:27,027 --> 01:35:30,987 Speaker 6: same kind of energy we saw from New Zealand late 1933 01:35:31,107 --> 01:35:33,467 Speaker 6: last night where they just didn't look like that felt 1934 01:35:33,627 --> 01:35:36,667 Speaker 6: that they were in the game. Schlanka had lost. 1935 01:35:36,507 --> 01:35:38,027 Speaker 28: All hope when they were batting together. 1936 01:35:38,267 --> 01:35:41,147 Speaker 6: So yeah, probably a couple of missed opportunities. I mean, 1937 01:35:41,227 --> 01:35:43,587 Speaker 6: Cain Williamson's been so great lately, hasn't he. I think 1938 01:35:43,667 --> 01:35:46,787 Speaker 6: that's the tenth time he's gone past fifty since December 1939 01:35:46,827 --> 01:35:50,307 Speaker 6: twenty twenty two, and it's only only the second time 1940 01:35:50,347 --> 01:35:52,027 Speaker 6: he's failed to convert it to one hundred. 1941 01:35:52,067 --> 01:35:55,107 Speaker 28: And I mean we have high, high expectations of him only. 1942 01:35:55,587 --> 01:35:58,787 Speaker 2: Indeed, indeed, and he continues to deliver on them. What 1943 01:35:58,907 --> 01:35:59,947 Speaker 2: about days four and five? 1944 01:36:00,147 --> 01:36:00,307 Speaker 23: Much? 1945 01:36:00,347 --> 01:36:02,627 Speaker 2: How much is this wicket turning? And the second part 1946 01:36:02,747 --> 01:36:05,987 Speaker 2: is how much is chasable in the fourth innings. 1947 01:36:08,347 --> 01:36:09,307 Speaker 10: Yeah, really good question. 1948 01:36:10,067 --> 01:36:14,067 Speaker 6: The wicket's definitely turning far more out of willow Rook's footmarks, 1949 01:36:14,107 --> 01:36:16,667 Speaker 6: so you would have seen that the grief turn yesterday. 1950 01:36:16,427 --> 01:36:19,467 Speaker 28: Was another degree in half more than it was on 1951 01:36:19,587 --> 01:36:20,067 Speaker 28: Day one and. 1952 01:36:20,347 --> 01:36:22,387 Speaker 6: Day two, but that was mainly due to the fact 1953 01:36:22,427 --> 01:36:25,987 Speaker 6: that New Zealand bowlers, as tell particular, was trying to 1954 01:36:26,027 --> 01:36:27,267 Speaker 6: get it out of the footmarks. 1955 01:36:27,387 --> 01:36:29,747 Speaker 10: So that's going to be challenging the score runs. 1956 01:36:29,787 --> 01:36:32,747 Speaker 6: If they really try and and dry up the scoring 1957 01:36:33,467 --> 01:36:37,067 Speaker 6: in the last innings, I think day four it would 1958 01:36:37,067 --> 01:36:39,387 Speaker 6: be really interesting to see how New Zealand come out. 1959 01:36:39,547 --> 01:36:42,547 Speaker 6: A really positive thing about this Test match is that 1960 01:36:43,187 --> 01:36:45,147 Speaker 6: Day four is actually going to be on day five 1961 01:36:45,387 --> 01:36:47,067 Speaker 6: and it's going to give our bowl it's an extra 1962 01:36:47,427 --> 01:36:49,307 Speaker 6: day to have a bit of a rest and come 1963 01:36:49,387 --> 01:36:51,987 Speaker 6: out far and the new balls not far away, so 1964 01:36:52,547 --> 01:36:53,107 Speaker 6: that's going to be. 1965 01:36:53,147 --> 01:36:53,587 Speaker 10: Huge as well. 1966 01:36:53,627 --> 01:36:56,907 Speaker 6: The new balls only ate overs away, so I'm hoping 1967 01:36:56,987 --> 01:37:00,667 Speaker 6: with the day off a new ball early in the 1968 01:37:01,067 --> 01:37:05,947 Speaker 6: session on Day four, effectively day five, that New Zealand 1969 01:37:05,947 --> 01:37:09,347 Speaker 6: will be able to break open this partnership. And to 1970 01:37:09,467 --> 01:37:13,547 Speaker 6: be honest, from all the numbers that they throw out 1971 01:37:14,227 --> 01:37:18,187 Speaker 6: in the combox. The SriLankan commentators on Worth said that 1972 01:37:18,747 --> 01:37:22,147 Speaker 6: shelank has probably almost got enough, so they're going to 1973 01:37:22,187 --> 01:37:24,907 Speaker 6: have to make quick work of trying to get those 1974 01:37:24,947 --> 01:37:28,307 Speaker 6: wickets early because on Gaul, what they say is that 1975 01:37:29,067 --> 01:37:32,347 Speaker 6: on day four there's okay up until lunch to bat well. 1976 01:37:32,387 --> 01:37:35,307 Speaker 28: Once after that day four and day five it really does. 1977 01:37:35,227 --> 01:37:38,147 Speaker 6: Start to crumble intoteriort and it's very difficult to score uns. 1978 01:37:38,347 --> 01:37:41,187 Speaker 2: All Right, challenging couple of days ahead for the Black Apps. 1979 01:37:41,267 --> 01:37:43,827 Speaker 2: Much great to get your analysis, loving your commentary over there, mate, 1980 01:37:43,827 --> 01:37:45,707 Speaker 2: Thanks for taking the time for a chat. 1981 01:37:45,987 --> 01:37:46,507 Speaker 28: Got a problem. 1982 01:37:46,707 --> 01:37:50,747 Speaker 2: It's Mitchell mcclenahan, part of the commentary team that's bringing 1983 01:37:50,867 --> 01:37:54,387 Speaker 2: coverage of this Test match from Gaul. Day four after 1984 01:37:54,427 --> 01:37:57,347 Speaker 2: the rest day yesterday underway. At four thirty this afternoon 1985 01:37:57,667 --> 01:38:00,267 Speaker 2: New Zealand Times, Sri Lanka resumed two thirty seven for 1986 01:38:00,427 --> 01:38:02,627 Speaker 2: four in their second innings. That is a lead of 1987 01:38:02,667 --> 01:38:06,667 Speaker 2: two hundred and two at the crease. Angelo Matthews beaten 1988 01:38:06,827 --> 01:38:10,947 Speaker 2: on thirty four and Danajea to silver, the captain also 1989 01:38:11,107 --> 01:38:13,627 Speaker 2: there on thirty four, not out a lead of two 1990 01:38:13,707 --> 01:38:16,867 Speaker 2: hundred and two. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see Shri 1991 01:38:16,947 --> 01:38:20,027 Speaker 2: Lanka's approach. I guess they'll obviously want to win the 1992 01:38:20,067 --> 01:38:22,347 Speaker 2: Test match. How long do they need to leave themselves 1993 01:38:22,507 --> 01:38:25,987 Speaker 2: it'll continue to turn. As you heard Mitchell mclenahan say, 1994 01:38:26,307 --> 01:38:28,227 Speaker 2: I guess New Zealand can take the decision out of 1995 01:38:28,267 --> 01:38:30,907 Speaker 2: Schrilanka's hands by just running through them and trying to 1996 01:38:30,947 --> 01:38:34,387 Speaker 2: bowl them out for you know, for not too many more. Yeah, 1997 01:38:35,027 --> 01:38:38,227 Speaker 2: would say a lot of Shrilankan commentators believe they have 1998 01:38:38,427 --> 01:38:41,467 Speaker 2: enough already that two hundreds too much to chase. But 1999 01:38:41,947 --> 01:38:44,187 Speaker 2: I think you'd be pretty gutsy to pull out with 2000 01:38:45,187 --> 01:38:48,347 Speaker 2: successions of cricket left and only two hundred runs to defend. 2001 01:38:48,587 --> 01:38:50,627 Speaker 2: Get the feeling Shrilanka will try at least to get 2002 01:38:50,667 --> 01:38:53,027 Speaker 2: through to lunch and then probably the middle part of 2003 01:38:53,067 --> 01:38:55,667 Speaker 2: the second session and maybe then think about pulling pin 2004 01:38:56,027 --> 01:38:57,987 Speaker 2: give themselves four in a bit sessions to bowl New 2005 01:38:58,027 --> 01:39:00,227 Speaker 2: Zealand out and take a one der lead in this 2006 01:39:00,387 --> 01:39:04,347 Speaker 2: two match series. We wait and see updating Live Sport 2007 01:39:04,507 --> 01:39:07,307 Speaker 2: from Hamilton where wake Cup to So are twenty two 2008 01:39:07,547 --> 01:39:10,467 Speaker 2: ten ahead of Tasman with twenty minutes to go in 2009 01:39:10,547 --> 01:39:12,947 Speaker 2: their Bunnings MPC match that was a one to ozho 2010 01:39:13,027 --> 01:39:15,707 Speaker 2: five kickoff the games which kicked off just after two 2011 01:39:16,667 --> 01:39:19,947 Speaker 2: about fifteen twenty minutes in Auckland seven mill ahead of 2012 01:39:19,987 --> 01:39:23,107 Speaker 2: Southland at Eden Park and Otago seven millahead of Mother 2013 01:39:23,147 --> 01:39:27,427 Speaker 2: We two at Central Energy Trust Arena in Palmerston, North 2014 01:39:28,027 --> 01:39:31,467 Speaker 2: two twenty three. When we come back, we'll focus in 2015 01:39:31,627 --> 01:39:34,907 Speaker 2: on the NRL Final series. We have our final four, 2016 01:39:35,267 --> 01:39:37,547 Speaker 2: the elimination finals over the last couple of nights who 2017 01:39:37,587 --> 01:39:40,227 Speaker 2: got rid of a couple of teams. Only four remain, 2018 01:39:40,627 --> 01:39:42,867 Speaker 2: so can either of the two who got through in 2019 01:39:42,867 --> 01:39:45,307 Speaker 2: the last couple of nights challenge the two who are 2020 01:39:45,387 --> 01:39:48,547 Speaker 2: waiting for them in the preliminary finals. The Storm and 2021 01:39:48,587 --> 01:39:50,867 Speaker 2: the Panthers look far and ourway the best two sites. 2022 01:39:51,307 --> 01:39:53,747 Speaker 2: Could the Roosters or the Sharks have something to say? 2023 01:39:54,267 --> 01:39:58,187 Speaker 2: Greg Alexander joining us after this on Weekend Sport Don't get. 2024 01:39:58,107 --> 01:40:01,827 Speaker 1: Caught off side eight hundred eighty ten eighty Weekend Sports 2025 01:40:01,867 --> 01:40:05,987 Speaker 1: with Jason Paine and GJ. Gunnomes New Zealand's most trusted 2026 01:40:06,027 --> 01:40:07,307 Speaker 1: home news dogs. 2027 01:40:07,347 --> 01:40:10,467 Speaker 2: Inb to twenty six, we've got our Final four and 2028 01:40:10,547 --> 01:40:14,227 Speaker 2: the NRL. The Roosters through to a preliminary final against 2029 01:40:14,267 --> 01:40:17,307 Speaker 2: the Storm, knocking Manly out with a forty sixteen winning 2030 01:40:17,387 --> 01:40:18,187 Speaker 2: Sydney last night. 2031 01:40:18,307 --> 01:40:22,267 Speaker 22: Here he kicks out why Dominique young Joseph Mardu flying 2032 01:40:22,787 --> 01:40:25,507 Speaker 22: and he serves it up on a silver platter for 2033 01:40:25,587 --> 01:40:27,027 Speaker 22: the big Englishman. 2034 01:40:27,507 --> 01:40:32,627 Speaker 2: Dominic Ya after back to the aerial skill of Joseph Mardhu. 2035 01:40:32,707 --> 01:40:34,707 Speaker 2: There that was the final try for the Roosters forty 2036 01:40:34,787 --> 01:40:37,987 Speaker 2: points to sixteen. Former Warriors and Penrith halfback and now 2037 01:40:38,067 --> 01:40:41,307 Speaker 2: highly respected rugby league analyst Greg Alexander was in the 2038 01:40:41,307 --> 01:40:44,347 Speaker 2: commentary box last night. He joins us now forty sixteen, 2039 01:40:44,427 --> 01:40:46,747 Speaker 2: feels very comfortable on the scoreboard. Greg, Do you think 2040 01:40:46,787 --> 01:40:47,707 Speaker 2: it was a fair reflection? 2041 01:40:49,347 --> 01:40:54,027 Speaker 29: It probably was, Jason, Yes, good to chat twenty twenty 2042 01:40:54,067 --> 01:40:56,747 Speaker 29: to four at halftime, manly grabbing that try right on 2043 01:40:56,907 --> 01:41:01,067 Speaker 29: the stroke of the break where Sherry Evans Chip kicked 2044 01:41:01,107 --> 01:41:05,067 Speaker 29: it for homali Ola Kauatu and they needed something grub 2045 01:41:05,107 --> 01:41:08,747 Speaker 29: and Garrick a blooder of a night missing tackles, missed 2046 01:41:08,787 --> 01:41:12,267 Speaker 29: that kick. They trailed twenty to four at half time. Hindsight, 2047 01:41:12,747 --> 01:41:15,707 Speaker 29: you know, and you never because there's the ability of 2048 01:41:15,827 --> 01:41:18,427 Speaker 29: sides to score points so quickly these days, and we've 2049 01:41:18,467 --> 01:41:20,787 Speaker 29: seen games this year where you know, there was only 2050 01:41:20,827 --> 01:41:23,387 Speaker 29: a matter of minutes left. But teams have the ability 2051 01:41:23,467 --> 01:41:27,267 Speaker 29: to score points in a bunch. You never write a 2052 01:41:27,347 --> 01:41:29,627 Speaker 29: team off. But boy, if I was going to write 2053 01:41:29,627 --> 01:41:31,747 Speaker 29: a team off, I would have been writing Manly off 2054 01:41:31,787 --> 01:41:34,747 Speaker 29: at halftime. Just had to score first coming into the 2055 01:41:34,787 --> 01:41:35,307 Speaker 29: second half. 2056 01:41:35,387 --> 01:41:36,947 Speaker 18: They didn't. The Roosters scored off. 2057 01:41:36,867 --> 01:41:39,667 Speaker 29: The back of an error that Manly made or a 2058 01:41:39,867 --> 01:41:45,307 Speaker 29: challenge that was unsuccessful, and that was it. Once the 2059 01:41:45,427 --> 01:41:47,707 Speaker 29: Rooster scored the first try on the second half, I 2060 01:41:47,787 --> 01:41:51,067 Speaker 29: thought it was all over. So the score Jason did reflect. 2061 01:41:51,427 --> 01:41:53,707 Speaker 29: I thought the dominance of the Roosters. 2062 01:41:54,027 --> 01:41:56,187 Speaker 2: Quite astonishing start to the game. Greg, I don't think 2063 01:41:56,187 --> 01:41:58,227 Speaker 2: I've ever seen it. Two head knocks from the first 2064 01:41:58,307 --> 01:42:00,987 Speaker 2: two plays of the game saw two of the Seagulls 2065 01:42:01,067 --> 01:42:04,707 Speaker 2: starters forced off. How much of effect was that in hindsight. 2066 01:42:05,107 --> 01:42:08,227 Speaker 29: Yeah, I think it was, even though they did recover 2067 01:42:08,307 --> 01:42:13,547 Speaker 29: and they defended pretty courageously for the you know, following 2068 01:42:13,707 --> 01:42:14,387 Speaker 29: ten minutes. 2069 01:42:14,467 --> 01:42:17,707 Speaker 18: But the automatically the Roosters were on the front foot. 2070 01:42:18,227 --> 01:42:22,867 Speaker 29: Kohler off for the game just went in and we've 2071 01:42:22,907 --> 01:42:26,147 Speaker 29: seen it happening kickoffs this year or not for a 2072 01:42:26,227 --> 01:42:28,107 Speaker 29: while now. But there seemed to be a spate of 2073 01:42:29,467 --> 01:42:32,347 Speaker 29: head knocks off kickoffs, and I remember Anzac Day where 2074 01:42:32,467 --> 01:42:35,227 Speaker 29: Moses Souley against the Roosters was knocked out in the 2075 01:42:35,267 --> 01:42:38,427 Speaker 29: first play exactly the same manner coming out of the 2076 01:42:38,467 --> 01:42:40,387 Speaker 29: line try to make a tackle was gone. 2077 01:42:40,627 --> 01:42:42,827 Speaker 18: And then the Dragons never recovered from that. 2078 01:42:42,947 --> 01:42:46,267 Speaker 29: And even though Ben Traboyevich is a good replacement for 2079 01:42:46,867 --> 01:42:49,107 Speaker 29: you know, he's not Tallu Kohler, and I think that 2080 01:42:49,307 --> 01:42:52,787 Speaker 29: really rocked them to lose Jake. He came back on 2081 01:42:52,987 --> 01:42:56,347 Speaker 29: but to start the game, and I remember Warren Smith 2082 01:42:56,467 --> 01:42:59,027 Speaker 29: calling with him. He said, twenty we are only twenty 2083 01:42:59,067 --> 01:43:02,347 Speaker 29: three seconds into the game and Manly have already lost 2084 01:43:02,387 --> 01:43:06,307 Speaker 29: two players. So a tough way to start the night, 2085 01:43:06,467 --> 01:43:07,067 Speaker 29: that's for sure. 2086 01:43:07,547 --> 01:43:10,227 Speaker 2: Indeed, James to disco for the Roosters celebrating is two 2087 01:43:10,307 --> 01:43:13,067 Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth NRL game. Couple of tries he set 2088 01:43:13,147 --> 01:43:15,587 Speaker 2: up to more ran four a game high one hundred 2089 01:43:15,587 --> 01:43:19,067 Speaker 2: and eighty three meters. How integral is James to disco 2090 01:43:19,347 --> 01:43:20,427 Speaker 2: to the Roosters. 2091 01:43:21,227 --> 01:43:24,587 Speaker 29: Vital, absolutely vital. You know when you when you look 2092 01:43:24,627 --> 01:43:29,907 Speaker 29: at their matchup next week against the Melbourne Storm, I've 2093 01:43:29,947 --> 01:43:34,387 Speaker 29: got you know, I've got a rabid Rooster's mate that 2094 01:43:34,907 --> 01:43:38,307 Speaker 29: texts me this morning and said, now now we'll get beaten. 2095 01:43:39,067 --> 01:43:41,907 Speaker 29: You know, it's great to win last night, but now 2096 01:43:41,947 --> 01:43:43,707 Speaker 29: we're playing the storm, we get beaten. I said, well, 2097 01:43:44,307 --> 01:43:47,027 Speaker 29: you know, I said, don't don't, don't throw. There is 2098 01:43:47,107 --> 01:43:49,947 Speaker 29: a glimmer of hope and James to Desco, is that 2099 01:43:50,067 --> 01:43:54,147 Speaker 29: glimmer because when you have a look at the key players, 2100 01:43:54,187 --> 01:43:56,627 Speaker 29: that the ones that handle the ball the most. When 2101 01:43:56,667 --> 01:43:58,587 Speaker 29: you compare, I said, play for player, you might have 2102 01:43:58,707 --> 01:44:01,667 Speaker 29: the Melbourne Storm, but it's the six, seven and nine 2103 01:44:01,707 --> 01:44:05,107 Speaker 29: that it makes the difference to the to the you know, 2104 01:44:05,187 --> 01:44:08,547 Speaker 29: between the two sides. The roosters in Melbourne drum Us, 2105 01:44:09,027 --> 01:44:13,027 Speaker 29: Camera Monster, Harry Grant just have you know Camera Monster 2106 01:44:13,267 --> 01:44:15,107 Speaker 29: has been out a lot, but he's been back for 2107 01:44:15,187 --> 01:44:18,547 Speaker 29: now six weeks and looks good. To Desco, is the 2108 01:44:18,627 --> 01:44:20,987 Speaker 29: difference for the roosters. You know, he's that one that 2109 01:44:21,387 --> 01:44:25,267 Speaker 29: stands out. If Teddy plays well, well, the roosters are 2110 01:44:25,307 --> 01:44:27,347 Speaker 29: a chance. A lot has got to happen around them. 2111 01:44:27,387 --> 01:44:33,107 Speaker 29: But James has had a fantastic season. You know, I 2112 01:44:33,107 --> 01:44:34,947 Speaker 29: went through a bit of heartache last year, tough year 2113 01:44:35,027 --> 01:44:38,267 Speaker 29: last year for him, and form probably dipped a little bit. 2114 01:44:38,307 --> 01:44:40,387 Speaker 29: But boy, he's been setting the standard for a long 2115 01:44:40,467 --> 01:44:43,707 Speaker 29: time to Desko and he's back at that this year, 2116 01:44:43,787 --> 01:44:46,427 Speaker 29: which is which is great to see, and he'll extend 2117 01:44:46,467 --> 01:44:49,067 Speaker 29: his time at the Roosters and you know, but he's 2118 01:44:49,107 --> 01:44:51,947 Speaker 29: had a marvelous season and that was confirmed last night. 2119 01:44:52,267 --> 01:44:53,187 Speaker 18: He was their best player. 2120 01:44:53,587 --> 01:44:55,227 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can understand your mate trepidation. 2121 01:44:55,267 --> 01:44:55,387 Speaker 18: Tho. 2122 01:44:55,387 --> 01:44:57,107 Speaker 2: I think they've lost ten of their last eleven against 2123 01:44:57,107 --> 01:44:58,907 Speaker 2: the Storm, so he's probably been through a bit of 2124 01:44:58,947 --> 01:45:03,507 Speaker 2: pain and it may well continue on Friday night. The 2125 01:45:03,587 --> 01:45:06,907 Speaker 2: other game over the weekend, Shark's twenty six Cowboy eighteen 2126 01:45:06,987 --> 01:45:09,267 Speaker 2: twenty four doll at halftime. This was the Nicko Hines, 2127 01:45:09,627 --> 01:45:12,267 Speaker 2: Braiden Trundle Show and many respects. How on price were 2128 01:45:12,267 --> 01:45:13,987 Speaker 2: you were there? And the Sharks in general? 2129 01:45:14,667 --> 01:45:17,187 Speaker 29: Oh yeah, look, I think you know, the Sharks came 2130 01:45:17,267 --> 01:45:19,427 Speaker 29: under fire through the week and they had to answer 2131 01:45:19,467 --> 01:45:21,427 Speaker 29: a lot of questions. And I don't think I've heard 2132 01:45:22,307 --> 01:45:26,467 Speaker 29: more commentary around a single player on how he should 2133 01:45:26,507 --> 01:45:27,147 Speaker 29: play the game. 2134 01:45:27,227 --> 01:45:31,587 Speaker 18: And that's Nico off the back of you know, comments 2135 01:45:31,627 --> 01:45:32,707 Speaker 18: made I made them. 2136 01:45:32,787 --> 01:45:35,627 Speaker 29: I said, look, you know, I don't think if I 2137 01:45:35,747 --> 01:45:37,587 Speaker 29: was picking the side, I don't know, the Sharks won't 2138 01:45:37,627 --> 01:45:42,027 Speaker 29: do it. You know, I probably go with Dan Atkinson 2139 01:45:42,107 --> 01:45:44,147 Speaker 29: instead of Nicko. I just think I thought he was 2140 01:45:44,187 --> 01:45:48,467 Speaker 29: struggling a bit, but I Braiden Trindle was and Nico 2141 01:45:48,867 --> 01:45:51,827 Speaker 29: played his role. But Braiden Trindle was a nine out 2142 01:45:51,867 --> 01:45:55,147 Speaker 29: of ten at half and he played the half back role, 2143 01:45:55,227 --> 01:45:58,427 Speaker 29: he played the seventh role, he kicked, He did it all. 2144 01:45:58,547 --> 01:46:02,827 Speaker 29: Braiden Trendle scored try, set up tries, was very good 2145 01:46:02,907 --> 01:46:05,227 Speaker 29: for them, and the Sharks were good and you know 2146 01:46:05,387 --> 01:46:08,107 Speaker 29: that was that was. I thought that game, more than 2147 01:46:08,147 --> 01:46:11,947 Speaker 29: the other game was in the balance. The Cowboys great 2148 01:46:11,987 --> 01:46:16,947 Speaker 29: attacking side, but very execution on Friday night was poor 2149 01:46:17,027 --> 01:46:21,107 Speaker 29: from the Cowboys and twenty four Neil the game was done. 2150 01:46:21,227 --> 01:46:23,747 Speaker 29: There was you know, a sniff from the Cowboys in 2151 01:46:23,827 --> 01:46:26,467 Speaker 29: the second half where they scored a couple of quick tries, 2152 01:46:26,507 --> 01:46:30,987 Speaker 29: but Shark's way too good and pretty impressive. And I 2153 01:46:31,027 --> 01:46:34,387 Speaker 29: thought they're forwards, you know, Trendle and Hines don't get 2154 01:46:34,467 --> 01:46:37,467 Speaker 29: to do what they do with the forwards don't do 2155 01:46:37,627 --> 01:46:38,107 Speaker 29: their part. 2156 01:46:38,227 --> 01:46:40,707 Speaker 18: And I thought the Cronulla forwards, who have. 2157 01:46:40,787 --> 01:46:42,587 Speaker 29: Been a bit hit and miss over the last six 2158 01:46:42,707 --> 01:46:45,707 Speaker 29: weeks some weeks have been good and really stood up 2159 01:46:45,747 --> 01:46:49,907 Speaker 29: and later platform. On other occasions they've been beaten well 2160 01:46:49,947 --> 01:46:53,147 Speaker 29: in the middle. So forwards were good and on the 2161 01:46:53,187 --> 01:46:57,147 Speaker 29: back of that Trendle and Hines complimented the you know, 2162 01:46:57,267 --> 01:47:00,307 Speaker 29: the platform that was laid and took advantage of it. 2163 01:47:00,427 --> 01:47:03,067 Speaker 29: So you know, we've got the top four sides now 2164 01:47:03,147 --> 01:47:04,627 Speaker 29: in the last two games. 2165 01:47:05,387 --> 01:47:08,347 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so the Sharks were ward. Is a preliminary 2166 01:47:08,427 --> 01:47:13,307 Speaker 2: final against the Panthers. Can you see them pushing Penrith? 2167 01:47:15,187 --> 01:47:17,307 Speaker 18: Yeah. Anything can happen in a big game, you know. 2168 01:47:17,387 --> 01:47:19,747 Speaker 29: And I think the fact that the Sharks now have 2169 01:47:19,907 --> 01:47:22,027 Speaker 29: that monkey off their back, and that was a lot 2170 01:47:22,107 --> 01:47:24,747 Speaker 29: that was spoken, you know, not just about Nicko, but 2171 01:47:24,827 --> 01:47:27,667 Speaker 29: about Cronulla in general and about their finals form and 2172 01:47:27,667 --> 01:47:30,427 Speaker 29: the fact that they just since twenty eighteen just haven't been. 2173 01:47:30,347 --> 01:47:31,227 Speaker 18: Able to win a final. 2174 01:47:32,027 --> 01:47:35,027 Speaker 29: That was hanging around their neck coming into that game 2175 01:47:35,067 --> 01:47:37,827 Speaker 29: against the Sharks on Friday night. The fact that they've 2176 01:47:37,867 --> 01:47:41,827 Speaker 29: been able to get it done and so emphatically with 2177 01:47:41,947 --> 01:47:44,867 Speaker 29: a very good perform, you know, opening forty minutes to 2178 01:47:44,947 --> 01:47:45,787 Speaker 29: lead twenty four nil. 2179 01:47:46,347 --> 01:47:47,827 Speaker 18: They've got to feel confident. 2180 01:47:48,907 --> 01:47:51,507 Speaker 29: Although they haven't had much joy against the Panthers, they've 2181 01:47:51,507 --> 01:47:54,267 Speaker 29: got to feel confident about their own form. And that's 2182 01:47:54,267 --> 01:47:57,987 Speaker 29: all they need to worry about. Worry about themselves and 2183 01:47:58,387 --> 01:48:00,587 Speaker 29: you know the rest will take care of itself. So 2184 01:48:01,187 --> 01:48:06,467 Speaker 29: of course there's hope. But Melbourne and Penrith both of 2185 01:48:07,867 --> 01:48:10,907 Speaker 29: to be favorites coming into these two prelim finals. 2186 01:48:11,547 --> 01:48:14,387 Speaker 2: And if we do get to a likely outcome of 2187 01:48:14,427 --> 01:48:17,947 Speaker 2: a grand final with Penrith up against Melbourne without knowing 2188 01:48:17,987 --> 01:48:19,707 Speaker 2: whether there's going to be injuries of course next weekend 2189 01:48:19,787 --> 01:48:22,547 Speaker 2: or anything like that, Greg, how do you separate these two? 2190 01:48:22,627 --> 01:48:23,747 Speaker 2: Can you separate these two? 2191 01:48:25,227 --> 01:48:25,267 Speaker 10: No? 2192 01:48:25,547 --> 01:48:25,947 Speaker 16: Very tight? 2193 01:48:26,227 --> 01:48:28,547 Speaker 29: And they only played each other a few weeks ago 2194 01:48:28,907 --> 01:48:31,387 Speaker 29: at Penrith and that was the night that Nathan Cleary 2195 01:48:32,027 --> 01:48:36,507 Speaker 29: did that shoulder. But Melbourne started well, they see, and 2196 01:48:37,147 --> 01:48:39,587 Speaker 29: that wasn't the only time they played each other back 2197 01:48:39,627 --> 01:48:42,267 Speaker 29: in round one and that score line was eight to nil. 2198 01:48:43,067 --> 01:48:46,107 Speaker 29: So they are able to stop Penrith scoring that night. 2199 01:48:47,307 --> 01:48:50,267 Speaker 29: And granted it is very early in the season, but 2200 01:48:50,347 --> 01:48:54,947 Speaker 29: I think defensively they they can match up against Penrith's attack. 2201 01:48:55,067 --> 01:48:58,187 Speaker 29: That's the key for Melbourne, the fact that they'll just 2202 01:48:58,307 --> 01:49:01,387 Speaker 29: be able. They seem to be able to defend Penrith 2203 01:49:01,627 --> 01:49:05,427 Speaker 29: very well. So they are that is, they're the two 2204 01:49:05,467 --> 01:49:08,427 Speaker 29: best teams the Store won the Minor Premiership by six points. 2205 01:49:08,507 --> 01:49:11,627 Speaker 29: Clearly the best and most consistent team throughout the year, 2206 01:49:12,027 --> 01:49:16,467 Speaker 29: and I would say Penrith. Penrith were under a little 2207 01:49:16,467 --> 01:49:19,747 Speaker 29: bit of pressure coming into that Rooster's final Week one 2208 01:49:19,827 --> 01:49:23,267 Speaker 29: out there at Penrith Park which it was called that night, 2209 01:49:25,507 --> 01:49:28,667 Speaker 29: because their form had been scratchy. Nathan Cleary hadn't been 2210 01:49:28,747 --> 01:49:31,627 Speaker 29: on the field. Penrith's form had been a little bit scratchy. 2211 01:49:31,667 --> 01:49:34,467 Speaker 29: Couple of losses, they went down to the Raiders, they 2212 01:49:34,547 --> 01:49:38,867 Speaker 29: got beaten by the Melbourne Storm. That really was you know, 2213 01:49:39,307 --> 01:49:41,587 Speaker 29: they turned back the clock to last year with that 2214 01:49:42,427 --> 01:49:47,067 Speaker 29: first half against the Roosters. Can they continue that? You'd 2215 01:49:47,147 --> 01:49:49,507 Speaker 29: have to think they're a good chance of doing that. 2216 01:49:49,707 --> 01:49:52,507 Speaker 29: So trying to predict what's going to happen against them 2217 01:49:52,547 --> 01:49:54,347 Speaker 29: in the Melbourne Storm in the Grand Final was very hot. 2218 01:49:54,627 --> 01:49:58,747 Speaker 29: I will say that the Storm probably they coasted through 2219 01:49:58,787 --> 01:50:00,587 Speaker 29: the year and was still winning but not playing great, 2220 01:50:00,627 --> 01:50:03,067 Speaker 29: but still winning. And you're going, well, boy, Melbourne is 2221 01:50:03,107 --> 01:50:05,427 Speaker 29: still winning. They're not really playing well. Some of their 2222 01:50:05,587 --> 01:50:08,147 Speaker 29: even their better place out of form. One player that's 2223 01:50:08,147 --> 01:50:11,467 Speaker 29: held his form all the year is Jerome Hughes. But 2224 01:50:11,587 --> 01:50:16,947 Speaker 29: I think since Monster's return. They are probably the big 2225 01:50:17,027 --> 01:50:20,067 Speaker 29: improvers over the last six weeks. I think the Storm 2226 01:50:20,107 --> 01:50:22,987 Speaker 29: have looked better than they ever have, you know throughout 2227 01:50:23,027 --> 01:50:25,587 Speaker 29: the year. Now that Monster's back in the lineup, and 2228 01:50:26,187 --> 01:50:29,187 Speaker 29: all those bits and pieces around the key men Harry 2229 01:50:29,227 --> 01:50:32,547 Speaker 29: Grant and Jerome Hughes, who had sort of held the 2230 01:50:32,627 --> 01:50:34,667 Speaker 29: fort for most of the year, where Papenhaus has been 2231 01:50:34,707 --> 01:50:37,107 Speaker 29: in and out and back and Monster's been in and out, 2232 01:50:37,307 --> 01:50:41,187 Speaker 29: are now back. But all those pieces around Hughes and 2233 01:50:41,387 --> 01:50:47,547 Speaker 29: Grant look so much better. Jack Howorth, Will Warbrick, Ellie Katowa. 2234 01:50:48,547 --> 01:50:49,547 Speaker 18: You know, the list goes on. 2235 01:50:49,787 --> 01:50:53,067 Speaker 29: The players, Trentley Aero. The players that have looked great 2236 01:50:53,827 --> 01:50:56,187 Speaker 29: over the last six weeks put Melbourne in a very 2237 01:50:56,227 --> 01:50:59,107 Speaker 29: good position. So I'm not going to declare it, Jason. 2238 01:50:59,587 --> 01:51:02,667 Speaker 18: I would. I'd love to say Penrith, but I won't 2239 01:51:02,707 --> 01:51:03,627 Speaker 18: go the early crow. 2240 01:51:03,787 --> 01:51:04,107 Speaker 16: I'll just. 2241 01:51:05,787 --> 01:51:06,947 Speaker 18: Keep a close to me chest. 2242 01:51:07,067 --> 01:51:09,707 Speaker 2: Yeah, good man, Greg, I'll see you had Shawn Johnson 2243 01:51:09,747 --> 01:51:11,627 Speaker 2: on your studio panel over the weekend.

Now, let's go onto the nuts and 2283 01:53:18,067 --> 01:53:19,987 Speaker 2: bolts of what you'll be doing sand Yes, I've read 2284 01:53:20,027 --> 01:53:22,787 Speaker 2: it here. You'll be in one of two eleven boat 2285 01:53:22,867 --> 01:53:26,947 Speaker 2: fields sailing a twelve hour overnight race. The top five 2286 01:53:26,987 --> 01:53:29,387 Speaker 2: and each go through to a forty eight hour final. 2287 01:53:29,467 --> 01:53:32,187 Speaker 2: Now that sounds hard to me. How challenging is it? 2288 01:53:33,587 --> 01:53:35,027 Speaker 30: It'd be pretty challenging. 2289 01:53:35,107 --> 01:53:35,827 Speaker 10: I have to admit. 2290 01:53:36,227 --> 01:53:38,947 Speaker 30: We start the race at four o'clock in the afternoon, 2291 01:53:39,067 --> 01:53:40,867 Speaker 30: so we'll have about three and a half hours a 2292 01:53:40,947 --> 01:53:42,867 Speaker 30: daylight and then the rest of it will be night. 2293 01:53:44,147 --> 01:53:45,987 Speaker 7: So we're in a boat we don't. 2294 01:53:45,747 --> 01:53:48,627 Speaker 30: Really know, and waters we don't really know, and in 2295 01:53:48,707 --> 01:53:52,027 Speaker 30: the dark. So add all those things together and it'll 2296 01:53:52,067 --> 01:53:55,307 Speaker 30: be you know, it'll be fairly challenging. I bet it's 2297 01:53:55,427 --> 01:53:56,707 Speaker 30: challenging at the best of times. 2298 01:53:58,147 --> 01:54:01,707 Speaker 2: And de well tell us about the boats, Andrew, they're identical? 2299 01:54:02,187 --> 01:54:04,067 Speaker 2: Are they supplied to you? How does that work? 2300 01:54:05,027 --> 01:54:09,027 Speaker 11: Yes, the pump but every runs in the same boat 2301 01:54:09,107 --> 01:54:14,467 Speaker 11: that we all. We're all leasing the boats for the regatta, 2302 01:54:15,267 --> 01:54:18,907 Speaker 11: and it's very very tight. We're not allowed to take 2303 01:54:18,947 --> 01:54:21,147 Speaker 11: a lot of extra gear. I think we've got one 2304 01:54:21,227 --> 01:54:26,147 Speaker 11: extra sheet that we use, which is a rope. We're 2305 01:54:26,147 --> 01:54:29,067 Speaker 11: allowed one extra snatch block and we all have to 2306 01:54:29,147 --> 01:54:31,187 Speaker 11: take our own navigation gear and that's really it. 2307 01:54:32,147 --> 01:54:36,067 Speaker 2: And we're in so to understand that you didn't have 2308 01:54:36,227 --> 01:54:38,867 Speaker 2: one of these boats to train on back here in 2309 01:54:38,947 --> 01:54:40,987 Speaker 2: New Zealand, So how have you gone about preparing? 2310 01:54:42,867 --> 01:54:46,507 Speaker 30: Well, actually we've had some fantastic support from the Richmond 2311 01:54:46,547 --> 01:54:49,787 Speaker 30: Yacht Club members if I can give them a bit 2312 01:54:49,827 --> 01:54:52,147 Speaker 30: of a shout out. We've got Andrew Benton who lent 2313 01:54:52,307 --> 01:54:55,627 Speaker 30: us in this and helped us train. We've got Richard 2314 01:54:55,787 --> 01:54:59,107 Speaker 30: Lindbrick who helped us train on cool change his boat, 2315 01:54:59,547 --> 01:55:03,867 Speaker 30: and Tony mcloy which was on monotone and he also 2316 01:55:03,947 --> 01:55:05,307 Speaker 30: did the same. He did a lot of Richard and 2317 01:55:05,387 --> 01:55:06,307 Speaker 30: Tony did a lot of coat. 2318 01:55:06,347 --> 01:55:07,787 Speaker 7: She has spent a lot of hours with me. 2319 01:55:08,707 --> 01:55:11,267 Speaker 2: And when you get there, Andrew, will you have more 2320 01:55:11,347 --> 01:55:14,147 Speaker 2: training time? Will you get to train on the boat 2321 01:55:14,227 --> 01:55:16,187 Speaker 2: that you'll be using during racing. 2322 01:55:17,187 --> 01:55:21,427 Speaker 11: Yeah, we've we've leased an extra three days of practice 2323 01:55:21,547 --> 01:55:24,827 Speaker 11: or training time that will We'll get in there and 2324 01:55:24,867 --> 01:55:28,027 Speaker 11: they'll be fairly solid days for us went out on 2325 01:55:28,107 --> 01:55:30,267 Speaker 11: the water. Maybe maybe some nights as well. 2326 01:55:30,707 --> 01:55:33,267 Speaker 2: What are the specific challenges, Andrew, will stay with you 2327 01:55:33,467 --> 01:55:35,787 Speaker 2: of sailing a boat of this type? 2328 01:55:39,227 --> 01:55:42,187 Speaker 11: Well, I guess the big nine for us is that 2329 01:55:42,227 --> 01:55:45,547 Speaker 11: we haven't sailed one before. You know, sailing is sailing, 2330 01:55:45,627 --> 01:55:49,307 Speaker 11: but every boat has its little idiosyncrasy, So you know 2331 01:55:49,387 --> 01:55:53,067 Speaker 11: that in those three days that we're up there, we're 2332 01:55:53,107 --> 01:55:56,307 Speaker 11: going to be really trying to get to know the boats. 2333 01:55:56,667 --> 01:56:00,107 Speaker 11: Some of these, this particular boat was launched last November 2334 01:56:00,707 --> 01:56:04,067 Speaker 11: and some of the sailors that we're going to be 2335 01:56:04,107 --> 01:56:06,987 Speaker 11: sailing against have been sailing them so that time. 2336 01:56:08,787 --> 01:56:10,467 Speaker 2: But not you guys. So this is going to be 2337 01:56:10,987 --> 01:56:14,227 Speaker 2: not I wouldn't say a baptism of fire, Sandra necessarily, 2338 01:56:14,307 --> 01:56:17,067 Speaker 2: but I mean, do you feel as though you're you're 2339 01:56:17,147 --> 01:56:19,547 Speaker 2: in contention to well, I guess to progress through to 2340 01:56:19,627 --> 01:56:20,987 Speaker 2: the final for example. 2341 01:56:22,467 --> 01:56:24,427 Speaker 30: I haven't say yes, otherwise what are we going for? 2342 01:56:24,787 --> 01:56:25,027 Speaker 18: True? 2343 01:56:25,267 --> 01:56:29,707 Speaker 30: Yes, true, yeah, yeah, I think we've prepared enough. I 2344 01:56:29,787 --> 01:56:32,547 Speaker 30: did actually forget to mention Allen Giddy's He's also lent 2345 01:56:32,707 --> 01:56:35,147 Speaker 30: us his boat Chira. So we've had quite a bit 2346 01:56:35,227 --> 01:56:37,467 Speaker 30: of support and we've we've done as much as we 2347 01:56:37,587 --> 01:56:41,587 Speaker 30: can and hopefully we'll get to know that the asyncrasies 2348 01:56:41,627 --> 01:56:43,667 Speaker 30: of the boat up there in the three days. 2349 01:56:43,427 --> 01:56:45,187 Speaker 25: That we have for training only enough. 2350 01:56:45,907 --> 01:56:49,387 Speaker 11: We've we were just having this conversation last night, and 2351 01:56:50,027 --> 01:56:54,147 Speaker 11: for the time that we've had since since we were 2352 01:56:54,267 --> 01:56:57,027 Speaker 11: endorsed by Yachting New Zealand, we have. I think we've 2353 01:56:57,147 --> 01:57:00,267 Speaker 11: done them the most that we could possibly do. Maybe 2354 01:57:00,347 --> 01:57:02,987 Speaker 11: it's two things that we might change in our training, 2355 01:57:03,107 --> 01:57:06,347 Speaker 11: but you know, we we've really given it a solid 2356 01:57:06,627 --> 01:57:08,027 Speaker 11: push for the last three months. 2357 01:57:08,387 --> 01:57:11,107 Speaker 2: That's the way, Sandra. You're an experienced sailor, but as 2358 01:57:11,147 --> 01:57:12,707 Speaker 2: I understand that this has been a bit more of 2359 01:57:12,787 --> 01:57:13,667 Speaker 2: a crash course for you. 2360 01:57:13,867 --> 01:57:14,267 Speaker 4: Is that right? 2361 01:57:15,427 --> 01:57:15,947 Speaker 7: Very much so. 2362 01:57:16,907 --> 01:57:19,987 Speaker 30: Whilst I've been sailing for a while, I've not been 2363 01:57:20,147 --> 01:57:22,507 Speaker 30: doing a lot of double handed or two handed sailing, 2364 01:57:22,787 --> 01:57:26,547 Speaker 30: and not really in that two handed racing, which is 2365 01:57:27,147 --> 01:57:29,267 Speaker 30: and it's a it's and this the worlds are a 2366 01:57:29,547 --> 01:57:30,027 Speaker 30: level up. 2367 01:57:30,187 --> 01:57:30,347 Speaker 25: You know. 2368 01:57:31,667 --> 01:57:34,267 Speaker 30: A lot of the sailing that I do, it's it's 2369 01:57:34,387 --> 01:57:36,067 Speaker 30: nice to win or nice to be in the in 2370 01:57:36,187 --> 01:57:41,347 Speaker 30: the top play things, but it's more casual and a 2371 01:57:41,387 --> 01:57:44,147 Speaker 30: bit more fun. This is definitely a level up. 2372 01:57:44,667 --> 01:57:46,587 Speaker 2: Just so we're across the terminology and now listeners are 2373 01:57:46,627 --> 01:57:48,987 Speaker 2: clear here that when you say two handed that basically 2374 01:57:49,107 --> 01:57:50,987 Speaker 2: means just the two of you on the boat rather 2375 01:57:51,067 --> 01:57:51,747 Speaker 2: than a bigger crew. 2376 01:57:52,547 --> 01:57:56,387 Speaker 11: Yep, yeah, that's correct, And I think you know so 2377 01:57:56,507 --> 01:58:01,427 Speaker 11: that the listeners understand on fully crowed crew boats, most 2378 01:58:01,587 --> 01:58:06,547 Speaker 11: of the crew just do one job, whereas we have 2379 01:58:06,707 --> 01:58:10,827 Speaker 11: to do it all and in fact getting through to 2380 01:58:10,947 --> 01:58:20,427 Speaker 11: the final, the qualifying or the elimination race, we end 2381 01:58:20,547 --> 01:58:22,907 Speaker 11: up it's going to be like a two handed race. 2382 01:58:23,387 --> 01:58:25,667 Speaker 11: The final is a longer race, that's a forty eight 2383 01:58:25,707 --> 01:58:29,467 Speaker 11: hour race, and it becomes like a solo tag team 2384 01:58:29,507 --> 01:58:31,787 Speaker 11: when you're sailing, so basically a lot of the time 2385 01:58:31,827 --> 01:58:33,107 Speaker 11: you're staying the boat by yourself. 2386 01:58:33,547 --> 01:58:35,027 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say forty eight hours. Yeah, 2387 01:58:35,027 --> 01:58:37,467 Speaker 2: so what you just so you just take turns and 2388 01:58:37,507 --> 01:58:39,067 Speaker 2: the other one tries to get up asleep. Is that 2389 01:58:39,107 --> 01:58:39,547 Speaker 2: how it works? 2390 01:58:39,867 --> 01:58:41,747 Speaker 4: You need got to have a kip at some stage. 2391 01:58:42,227 --> 01:58:46,107 Speaker 30: Indeed, indeed, even the twelve hour race is looking like 2392 01:58:46,227 --> 01:58:49,107 Speaker 30: it's going to be about an eighteen nineteen hour race 2393 01:58:49,187 --> 01:58:52,387 Speaker 30: because they're going to start us. It's one hundred nautical miles, 2394 01:58:52,507 --> 01:58:55,827 Speaker 30: so it's likely to be a lot longer than twelve hours. 2395 01:58:57,867 --> 01:59:00,347 Speaker 2: It just seems like such a brilliant challenge. As you're 2396 01:59:00,347 --> 01:59:02,107 Speaker 2: saying the way you've outlined it. There you just but 2397 01:59:02,307 --> 01:59:05,107 Speaker 2: the two of you together for some times and by 2398 01:59:05,187 --> 01:59:08,627 Speaker 2: yourselves for others. Have basically sail the thing by yourselves. 2399 01:59:08,747 --> 01:59:11,187 Speaker 2: That's how it works pretty much. 2400 01:59:11,387 --> 01:59:13,747 Speaker 11: Yes, going to be pretty disciplined in what you're doing, 2401 01:59:13,947 --> 01:59:14,667 Speaker 11: and they're out. 2402 01:59:14,627 --> 01:59:18,107 Speaker 2: There understand you're also using this campaign to launch out 2403 01:59:18,267 --> 01:59:20,907 Speaker 2: sale IQ Racing.
