1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: So having dispatched with the French, it's time for the

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Rugby Championship. The first game is against the Pumas in

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: a week and a half. Of course, six players have

4
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: been added to the wider squad as of yesterday as

5
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: injury cover. The chiefs loose ford Simon Park is the

6
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: only end cap payer to join the thirty six month

7
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: scoat anyway, Scott Robinson his coach of course, and he's

8
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: back well this morning.

9
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: Gay, Good morning, Mike.

10
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: What's your assessment of the season so far? All those

11
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: all those French wins of.

12
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: Yours, look, yeah, got gritty, they were battle hard in

13
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: the French and they's nothing to lose. It's probably when

14
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: they're at their best. Will really please these areas we

15
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 2: always get improve and we just can't enit these tests,

16
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 2: you know, get a couple of scores out from them,

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: you know, three dislowed tries and four in the last

18
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: so just they just keep them minute and but we're

19
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: really really pleased with a lot of the young players

20
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: that have come through got of the past form that

21
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: come out of Super But on balance we've done for

22
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: good things in some areas to improve.

23
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: On good stuff. What are your thoughts on jumping on

24
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: a plane and going all the way to Argentina first away.

25
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: You know, do you talk to people about that? Is

26
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: that a thing or not?

27
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: Really? Yeah, Look, we're chipping have to. We're at the

28
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: bottom of the of the world, you know, and we've

29
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: been what sixty percent of our tessa are away even

30
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: more and he's putty used to it and enjoy it.

31
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: This one gift of footy, especially being at the allbacks,

32
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: you're going to be on the road, enjoy it, make

33
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: some good times of it. You know, you sit up

34
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: in front of the plane, so it's not all to that,

35
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: but you know, we go these hostile places and that's

36
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: that's a great part of it.

37
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: No, now, listen, I'm having trouble at work this week, Scott.

38
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: Let me tell you my problem. I have you two

39
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: for two in Argentina, right. I don't see Argentina being

40
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: particularly a major impediment for you. But I have people

41
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: in the sports department that are questioning that.

42
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: Am I right?

43
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Or are they right?

44
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: Oh? I think what they're saying is Argentina are a

45
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: good team and they are well coached. A lot of

46
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: their players play in the top fourteen. They've got high cohesions,

47
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: so they're a lot together. They are real threat, but

48
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: thanks for the support.

49
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: No worries at all. Are they on a tragedy? See?

50
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 1: I still see them as a bit roping. They can

51
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: be brilliant, but not all the time. Do you think

52
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: they're on a general trajectory towards betterness.

53
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, if you look at it, the bit the

54
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: Lions and then they came back. Not all the parts

55
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 2: are available for their England series, but and it was

56
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: good English ide and they play some great footing. Overall

57
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: the balance, They've got a couple of young, well young

58
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: guys coming through and like I said, season that experienced

59
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: players and obviously Pablo is one of them. You get

60
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: them on a night, they're Latin leavein emotions right on.

61
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: They are very, very tough to beat, so we have

62
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: to be at their best.

63
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Okay, speaking of the Lions, what do you make of

64
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: that test? Was Australia really coming to life or the

65
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: Lions already on the plane halfway home having won the series.

66
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: I think it was a test match of too emotion.

67
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: There's a lot of hurt with the Ossies and they

68
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: showed it. They want to show how much they care

69
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: for their jozy and you know the ray and the drama,

70
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: everything that came with it was a pretty special occasion.

71
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: And that's tast footy. That's tough. Anyone can win. It's

72
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: it's hyped up all week. There's lots of personal stuff

73
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 2: comes with it, and you know everyone's eyes are on it.

74
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 2: It's beautiful. Yeah.

75
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: The other thing I was arguing with Jason Pine and

76
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: sav you can help me out with us as well

77
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: with your injury issues, Like you can't do anything about injuries,

78
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: can you. You've got to look forward, you got to go.

79
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't fix them. If you fix them,

80
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: you would, but you know you got to deal with

81
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: what you gotta deal with.

82
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: Well, that's part of the game. As the're a contact sport,

83
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: it's brutal. You never know you're going to get some

84
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: runs as a player that you can get big two

85
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: or three years and then you get two or three injuries.

86
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: And the big three for us is when you get

87
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: a double break in one position like half back. It's

88
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: great that we can bring friendly Christian, but those are

89
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: the ones where you try. I've got that project full deep,

90
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: which I've talked to you about before, and when a

91
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: couple of those, go and you can bring an experience

92
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: pard back. It's great, but it gives opportunity to somebody else.

93
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, you want your dispass all the time, but

94
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: sometimes it doesn't.

95
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: Happen quite right. Go well, mate, Scott Robinson, who's the

96
