1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Now. Also here a timey bit of drama about the

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: fact that the All Blacks hocker at Alice Park and

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Joe Berg at the weekend was interrupted by chanting by

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: stadium music by Piratetechnics and then also by a low

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: flying plane. Some people think this was disrespectful. Steve Gordon

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: is a former All Black and with us now, hey Steve,

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: how are you doing very well? Thank you mate. It

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: obviously frustrated the players who were doing the hacker by

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: the judging by the looks on their faces. What was

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: your take on it?

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 2: I thought it was pretty disrespectful, thought that South African

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: players as a team, their group showed a lot of

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: respect in that, as they always do well. I think

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: as the whole of the Johnny Come Lately's in the

15
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 2: marketing department of the Southern Rugby Union that coordinated all

16
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: those other hijinks, which which was a little bit above

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: and beyond what would normally be expected, and I think

18
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: quite disrespectful, especially given the fact that you know Will

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: aware the fact of malty Ky passing and that was

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: sort of to him as well. I think they really

21
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: have to set the mark, and you know, rugby's built

22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: on tradition, and you know that the culture about the game,

23
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: the game's bigger than any team of individual and I

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: think they overstepped up there, and yeah, it was a

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: bit of a shambles.

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: Do you reckon it was deliberate, Steve, because I reckon

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: it must be so hard to time a jumbo line

28
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: and to be flying right over the stadium at exactly

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: the minute that they're doing the hacker. Given the Harker

30
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: grit can be done early or late.

31
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: It must have been the holding pattern outside. But yeah,

32
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: it was perfect timing on that. But then they're loud

33
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: views and so fair enough the crowd. You know, they

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: can raw and screen and so forth, and they've always

35
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: have done. But you know, the pyrotechnacs and the music

36
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: and whatnot. Yeah, I thought that was rather unclassy. And

37
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: you know, I think with any great traditions in sport,

38
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: you know the class of it, you know, and jurors,

39
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: you know, the Whites and Wibleton and Barron, simple things

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: like that, and they still have sellout crowds and still

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: got their course of orders. I think they probably tried

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: to ras me tears it up a little too much

43
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: and it didn't really come off and I thought it

44
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: was quite tocho Hey, what.

45
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: About the game itself, how do you think the team play?

46
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: Do you worried about them or are you chalking this

47
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: up to kind of its early days to let them

48
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: have a chance.

49
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: Early days, I thought they were fantastic and the fantash

50
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: and the way they came out and started and just

51
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: boulted the South African said that is a massive You know,

52
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: it's the best team in the world at the moment.

53
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: We've had a lot of a lot of changes and

54
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of new guys that were

55
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: new to Alice Park, the Caldron there, and they really

56
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: stepped up. Sure, we didn't finish, finish it out, and

57
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: that's that's a learning process with a lot of those

58
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: young fellows coming into the side how to close the

59
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: game out. But the start and some of the structures

60
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 2: that they employed to cope with those massive South African

61
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 2: forwards and some pretty special South African outside backs. They

62
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: were outstanding in the centers of Juty Crail and so

63
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: and forth. Unleashing them really made it difficult for us,

64
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: but we contained really well, and you know, the re

65
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: emergence of Caleb Clark on the wing in his finishing

66
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: was something that does really well for us, So a

67
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: wealdly a good position. If we can hold the intensity

68
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: for the next one is going to be the big

69
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: challenge for those guys. But you know, I think they'll

70
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: be pretty disappointed that they didn't finish it, and they

71
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: know that they weren't outclassed by world class at aericon side,

72
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: they're right in the hunt to the last to at

73
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: ten eleven minutes. So yeah, I think they'll be pretty

74
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: void and I've got to tune up a few things,

75
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: eliminate a few silly mistakes in the penalty count, and

76
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: they're right back in it to right.

77
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: Steve, thank you. I appreciate that you're being moderate about

78
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: it because I'm also giving them a chance at Steve
