1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Here come the men in blacks. It's been thirty years

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: since the Allbacks last loss on Eden Park. I was there.

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: It was that French game with the try from the

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: end of the world and I was sitting in the

5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Panasitic stand. So the try was scored on the very

6
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: furthest part away from where I was sitting. It was

7
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: a try from the end of the world. But thirty

8
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: years eh, Now could England be the ones to spore

9
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: the party? It's only one point victory last weekend sixteen

10
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: fifteen and Toneden. So with me right now is former

11
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: All back coach John Hart.

12
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: Hello, John, morning, Andrey, how are you very good?

13
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: So they've had a week they it's fair to say

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: they've both been rusty. They've both been able to really train.

15
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: The weather's been fantastic and it's been a fast track.

16
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Will be a fast track tomorrow. Are you expecting a

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: great Test and who's going to improve the most?

18
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 2: I think it will be a great Test. I think

19
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: last week was a great test Trek really in terms

20
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: of the proximity of the scores. Both teams, you know,

21
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: brought different elements of the game. I thought England played

22
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: really well last week. This will be their last game

23
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: for the season, so they will be really fired up.

24
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 2: I think the all backs will improve and I think

25
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,639
Speaker 2: probably that will be the difference. I think England showed

26
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: what they've got and it was very good and the

27
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: all backs will have to adjust accordingly. But I think

28
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: they'll improve sufficiently to make sure we maintain that unbeaten

29
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: record at Eden.

30
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: Park both weeks. Seems we've convinced the English that it's

31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: okay to run.

32
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know he's got Look. I thought two of

33
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: the best players on the field last week were their

34
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 2: fullback Thurdbank and their half back Mitchell. I thought they

35
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: were excellent. They added to everything that England were doing

36
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: in terms of quick defense and getting quick ball and

37
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: carrying the ball well. Those two added so well, So

38
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: you know, I think he certainly has got them in

39
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: a mood where they are prepared to use the ball.

40
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: Their set piece scrub was very average last week and

41
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: I would think that's an area where again the all

42
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: backs will look for dominance and if that happens and

43
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: you know, the game go the way of the team

44
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: on the front board.

45
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: Larded debate, particularly on the show last night, about Finley

46
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: Christi at number nine. TJ's hurt and that was horrific

47
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: to see, obviously, but I saw him yesterday. It doesn't

48
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: seem to be super bad, but it's Finny good. I mean,

49
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: this is one of his first times to actually start.

50
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: Look, he's got a very good game. He had a

51
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: difficult season with injury. He finished very strongly for the Blues.

52
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: He I've got no doubt that his pass is actually

53
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: I heard the debate passes quicker than paranaras Per Andaras

54
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: brings different things to a game. His experiences is obviously

55
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 2: I'm told. But look, I think Finn Christie will fit

56
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: the all back pattern very well. They want to move

57
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: the more quickly and I think he'll do that well.

58
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Yes, Finn has the fastest pass. TJ is like a

59
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: second loose forward. And here they should get over the

60
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: fact that he's a vegan. What about Finn Baxter. He's

61
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: twenty two years old, he's a prop getting his first start.

62
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: What do you reckon about him?

63
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: Well, he looked came on, he had a real baby face.

64
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: I was shocked when he came on last week, but

65
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: I thought he held up really well. But he will

66
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: be under There be a baptism of fire for him.

67
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: The English will be very dependent on his coming ability tomorrow.

68
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: So you know he would have learned a lot in

69
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: that sixty seventy minutes that he got last week, and

70
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 2: you know he did very well in the sense of

71
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: a young man having his first game. But you know

72
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: he'll be under fire tomorrow because this All Back scrub

73
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: looks very dominant and it is where they will go

74
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: to try and achieve their dominance.

75
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Hey, it's nice to have a tour, but there was

76
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: only two tests. Of course, we're playing Fiji in the

77
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: USA next week for some reason, should we have had

78
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: a three test tour? Oh?

79
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: Look, I think you know there's all arguments about these

80
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: sorts of things. You know, in the end two tests,

81
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: if you know, it's there'll be an outcome one way

82
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: or the other, and the Allbacks will be all about

83
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: winning this Test match. I mean it wins a series,

84
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: but it'll be very important for them to maintain the

85
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: unbeaten re call that we have what thirty years at

86
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: Eden Park, and you know that's something very special. So

87
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure the will Bles will be focused totally on

88
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: this one game.

89
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,480
