Most notably, we've got Bowden 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: Barrett in replacing Damien Mackenzie, cam roy Gard's the number 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: nine Jersey and Severy Reese also replaces Mark Talier who's 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: got an injury I think in his hand or something 6 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: like that. Ben Smith is a former All Black fullback. 7 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 2: Hay Ben, what do yeah? Yeah? Good? Thank you? What 8 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 2: do you reckon? Are you liking the lineup as you 9 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 2: see it? 10 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I think obviously they've made a few changes. Yeah, 11 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 3: I thought it was I thought Damien played really well 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 3: last week. But to her body back, I suppose his 13 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 3: experience and what he brings, Yeah, they'll bring him back in. 14 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: Well, are you not totally convinced by that? 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 3: I think, like I think probably Damien had one of 16 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 3: his better games last weekend, and I thought that was 17 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 3: pretty polished against Eland in the second half. But I understand. 18 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 3: I see, obviously Body's got a lot of experience and 19 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 3: and Damian's pretty good off the bench, adds a bit 20 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 3: of impact, and yeah, I'd say that it'll be a 21 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 3: tough game that they'll want to finish well the French will, Yeah, they'll. 22 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 3: I suppose they had a bit of a World Cup 23 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 3: that they underperformed that they would have liked to probably 24 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 3: finished revenge. Yeah, I would say it'll be a game. Yeah. 25 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: What do you make of this French player who's packed 26 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: us sad because he wasn't picked and is now refusing 27 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: to be on the bench. 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard that today. I don't know all the details, 29 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 3: to be fair, but there must be something going on 30 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 3: there that. Yeah, it just seems weird to me obviously, Yeah, 31 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: something else that play something. Yeah, obviously had a bit 32 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 3: of a bad day. 33 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: But listen, tell me we are third week in row 34 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: that Ethan de Grud hasn't been selected. First of all, 35 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: it was because he wasn't meeting internal standards, and now 36 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: it's all starting to get a bit weird. 37 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: You as intrigued by this as we are. 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know Ethan degree and he works bloody hard 39 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: and he'll fight his way back into getting an opportunity. 40 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: We have you asked him? Did you ask him? What 41 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: did you do? 42 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 3: I know, I don't know, to be fair, but I 43 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: do know he'll work really hard. And I also, guys 44 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 3: have been given an opportunity have played really well, so 45 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: I'm sure yeah, will get plenty more chances in the future. 46 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 3: But at the moment he just yeah, I said the 47 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: messages coming out that mister by his time, and yeah, 48 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: he will get opportunities going forward. 49 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: And are you At the start it was a bit 50 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: shaky for Razor Ray, but he started to firm it up. 51 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 2: Are you convinced by him? 52 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 3: Yeah? I think he's He's obviously done really well in 53 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 3: this India tour, Doves. I thought the All Blacks against 54 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: Iland were pretty cchlinical in the second half. And yeah, 55 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 3: I really enjoyed watching guys like Wallace and TD get 56 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 3: an opportunity.
