1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: To Chicago. We go with grunts. Bit morning, good luke,

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: slash afternoon your time. It's a winning start to the

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: Grand Slam Tour in front of a sold out Soldier

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Field in Chicago, twenty six thirteen to the All Blacks.

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: What a bizarre first half. Bad morning to be a

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: Barrett brother. Scott went off then Jordie and perhaps body

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: should have as well. I guess that's the first big

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: talking point. That red cards to tag burn bit harsh,

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: don't you think?

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? I do. I think it was probably probably yellow

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: at most, no intention on his part. I mean Barrett came, Adam,

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: where was he supposed to go? And Barrett didn't hear

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: the ball, He just ran straight into him. So yeah,

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: very harsh, and it was good to hear that. Boden.

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: Barrett said after the game that he would be prepared

16
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: to defend the man who got the red card, so

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: that was nice from him. But yeah, it wasn't a

18
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: great day for the bar It wasn't really. I mean,

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: Bowden was banged out, Scott left the field with a

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 2: bad cat on his knee, and of course Jordy did

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: his knee. So I guess we have to wait and

22
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: see now exactly exactly what happens to those guys.

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Four tries to one three in the final twenty minutes.

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: Would that final twenty be the greatest rugby that you've

25
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: seen under Scott Robinson's reign.

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: Oh well, that's it's a bit hard to qualify. Which

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: it was certainly good, there's no question about it. But

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: I think your active factor in the fact that Ireland

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 2: ran out a big time. They hadn't had any rugby.

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: A lot of them hadn't had any rugby at all,

31
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: certainly not at that level.

32
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: And Josh Lord's just twenty three and twenty four years old, respectively.

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Holland's played one more Test than Lords. But they really

34
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: stood up.

35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is. And of course Lord came on very

36
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: early in the game when Scott Barrett disappeared, and I

37
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: thought they both played really well. Island in particular, the

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: workload that he has taken on this year in his

39
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: very first season for the All Blacks, and given his

40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: background which we all know about, I think he's had

41
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 2: quite a remarkable season. I think I might have said

42
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: to you, I certainly said to a few others I

43
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: see him as a long term All Black who one

44
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: day might play one hundred test matches.

45
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: Did the tech issues riddle units bo as I understand

46
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: perhaps the greenskeeper for Soldier Field was on holiday at

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: the time or something. The big screen wasn't working, there

48
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: was no hooter, so at the end I don't think

49
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: any of the players actually realized the time was up.

50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Well, it's not a ground made for rugby,

51
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: and so maybe those things hadn't been thought about. I

52
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: don't quite know, but it was a little bit sort

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: of Keystone Cops wasn't ready with the referee standing in

54
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: front of the big screen getting no reaction and having

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: to basically go and have a look at it on

56
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: the little screen. So it all took time and a time,

57
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: you know, fifty odd minutes in the first half, and

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 2: we've just been on and on.

59
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: And almost sixty two thousand people packed in there, and

60
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: a couple of times they had the wide angle shots

61
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: which just showed a spectacular scene. The atmosphere must have

62
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: been electric.

63
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was as wonderful. It's a brilliant well, firstly,

64
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: it's a brilliant city. Secondly, it's a brilliant stadium, Soldier Field.

65
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: It's been there for a hundred years. It is the

66
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: it's the home ground of the Chicago Bears. I don't

67
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: think they play a lot else there. They did play

68
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: some games at the Football World Cup a few years ago,

69
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: but it's pristine condition and it's an old stadium. Maybe

70
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: a little bit aging, but remarkable really.

71
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: The All Blacks jumped on a plane to Scotland that night.

72
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: You're lucky enough to be hanging around a few more days.

73
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: What's on your site seeing list?

74
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: Well, we did the Architectural River Cruise the other day,

75
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: which is a big part of a big part of

76
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: being in Chicago. And then we've got lined up tomorrow.

77
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: We're going on what they call the Mob Tour. Now,

78
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: anyone who knows Chicago knows that it was famous back

79
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: in the thirties for the likes of al Capone and

80
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: those sort of blogs, and it was run by the

81
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: mob effectively. So we're doing a bus tour of that,

82
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: and then on the following day heading off to Nashville, Tennessee.

83
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: All right, Channelinger's country and do his mobs say, and

84
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: no doubt finding the bottom of a deep dish pizza

85
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: in the process, and during the sites and the sounds

86
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: in Nisbeu and we'll see if we can stay in

87
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: touch as you continue to follow the All Blacks around

88
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: to the Northern Tour. What a cracking starts seventeen past
