1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: Somebody who is running the radio commentary on our sister

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: station ZB and Gold Sport, which you can find on iHeartRadio,

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: is Elliott Smith. He's in Edinburgh and managed to catch

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: up with them just a couple of hours ago and

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: began by noting I was likely enough to tour around

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: UK and Europe. It was about six years ago, and

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: true to form, the week that we spent in Edinburgh

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: it rained every day.

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 2: That record is alive and well I can assure you

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: of that it's been wet all week. And look it

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: hasn't been too cold, which is the means the surprising thing.

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: We were expecting to have to rug up warm and

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: get the beanies out of the suitcase. Well today I

14
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: can tell you it was fifteen sixteen degrees, which is

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: incredibly unseasonable, but it has been railing, so what it

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: meant is a whole lot of humidity in a weird way.

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: But aged well, No, Luca a wonderful city. It's so historic.

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: I'm looking out my window now and looking back to

19
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: the old town, all as wonderful old buildings that are

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: around the city and obviously Edinburgh Castle. You at the

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: forefronts of that. Just a truly wonderful city and one

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: of my favorites to visit, and certainly for the All

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: Blacks as well, one of their favorites to visit, given

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: they've never lost to Scotland's and never lost at Murrayfield

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: as well.

26
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: I see that Scotland come into the match in strong forms,

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: thrashing the US eighty five nil last weekend. It's not

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: much of a flex though, really is it. Yeah?

29
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: I mean the USA going backwards at the rate of

30
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: locks unfortunately, but that was a good head out for Scotland.

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: They hadn't played since the mid year games. You remember

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: they came out to New Zealand, they played the Maldi

33
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: All Blacks and also had a game in the Pacific

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: as well, but they haven't had a lot of time

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: together and obviously with that two of mid year in

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: New Zealand, they didn't have their Lions players either, so

37
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: it's been a sort of a bit of a hodge

38
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: podge built up for them to this game. A lot

39
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: of changes from that team last week for this weekends

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: at their coach at Gregor Town's End has named so

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: it's a little bit different. But you know, you can

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: only play who you're in front of and they got

43
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: pretty comfortably past the United States. But the All Blacks

44
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 2: will be a different kettle of first come Saturday afternoon here,

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: and you know they're expecting a big challenge once they

46
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: get to that match at Murray
