The Death from cam Royguards broken the Highlanders 15 00:00:48,747 --> 00:00:52,227 Speaker 2: hearts and given the Hurricanes an important twenty four twenty 16 00:00:52,267 --> 00:00:55,667 Speaker 2: Super Rugby winning Wellington Roygarts snuck over to score his 17 00:00:55,747 --> 00:00:57,347 Speaker 2: second drive of the game with time up on the 18 00:00:57,387 --> 00:00:59,987 Speaker 2: clock to keep the Canes firmly in playoff contention. He 19 00:01:00,067 --> 00:01:02,587 Speaker 2: joins us, now, gooday, camp, do you reckon you got 20 00:01:02,587 --> 00:01:04,347 Speaker 2: away with one there last night or do you think 21 00:01:04,387 --> 00:01:05,387 Speaker 2: you deserve to win the game? 22 00:01:06,387 --> 00:01:09,267 Speaker 3: It's a great question. I mean, obviously, I turn over 23 00:01:09,347 --> 00:01:12,387 Speaker 3: it was pretty high and we gave the Highland has 24 00:01:12,387 --> 00:01:14,747 Speaker 3: a lot opportunity to cut it out that game. But 25 00:01:15,307 --> 00:01:18,987 Speaker 3: I guess being able to win ugly, you know, I 26 00:01:18,987 --> 00:01:22,187 Speaker 3: guess it is important and different ways to win, and 27 00:01:22,387 --> 00:01:24,987 Speaker 3: I guess we did. We'll just find a way in 28 00:01:25,027 --> 00:01:28,307 Speaker 3: the end luckily. So yeah, I think we're still probably 29 00:01:29,227 --> 00:01:33,267 Speaker 3: we we created a lot. We probably just len finishing opportunities, 30 00:01:33,667 --> 00:01:35,907 Speaker 3: especially in the sick and half. What we had three 31 00:01:35,947 --> 00:01:39,587 Speaker 3: disallowed tribes, which you know those get allowed, and they 32 00:01:39,587 --> 00:01:42,347 Speaker 3: were pretty mentionable things. Go was obviously just a four 33 00:01:42,467 --> 00:01:46,507 Speaker 3: pass and then half as one in the corner. But yeah, 34 00:01:46,547 --> 00:01:49,107 Speaker 3: I think we still did deserve to win. But yeah, 35 00:01:49,427 --> 00:01:50,987 Speaker 3: definitely differently as we. 36 00:01:50,947 --> 00:01:53,027 Speaker 2: Watched take us to the end of the game, when 37 00:01:53,147 --> 00:01:55,467 Speaker 2: you're building phase after phase, you're right under the post. 38 00:01:55,507 --> 00:01:57,787 Speaker 2: What pictures were you seeing there as you as you 39 00:01:57,827 --> 00:02:00,427 Speaker 2: spotted and opening under the post to dive over for 40 00:02:00,467 --> 00:02:01,107 Speaker 2: the winning try. 41 00:02:02,507 --> 00:02:05,227 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I guest understanding that the Harlemers are 42 00:02:05,507 --> 00:02:07,627 Speaker 3: desperate and trying to every on the field, so they're 43 00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:10,627 Speaker 3: all sort of swing around the corner, and I guess 44 00:02:10,667 --> 00:02:13,987 Speaker 3: it's pretty hard to defend around the posts because there 45 00:02:14,027 --> 00:02:16,027 Speaker 3: is a big post in the last that I sort 46 00:02:16,027 --> 00:02:20,547 Speaker 3: of saw Piece had a good quick carry and then 47 00:02:20,547 --> 00:02:22,787 Speaker 3: it sort of thought everyone was just sort of flooding 48 00:02:22,827 --> 00:02:26,107 Speaker 3: around living that space, So just saw the opportunity there, 49 00:02:27,467 --> 00:02:28,147 Speaker 3: so got over it. 50 00:02:29,427 --> 00:02:31,907 Speaker 2: By the time you scored that try that won the game, 51 00:02:32,467 --> 00:02:36,267 Speaker 2: you'd built twenty one phases. How much discipline does it 52 00:02:36,307 --> 00:02:38,747 Speaker 2: take to build phases like that in the dying moments 53 00:02:38,867 --> 00:02:41,627 Speaker 2: under fatigue with the game on the line. 54 00:02:41,667 --> 00:02:45,947 Speaker 3: Basically, yeah, it's method And like I say, we had 55 00:02:46,867 --> 00:02:50,547 Speaker 3: blown a lot of opportunities beforehand, so that we I 56 00:02:50,547 --> 00:02:52,827 Speaker 3: think we all knew that it was our last opportunity, 57 00:02:52,987 --> 00:02:57,787 Speaker 3: opportunity that we've got lifelines with there they're sorry, not straight, 58 00:02:57,987 --> 00:02:59,707 Speaker 3: and we were able to sort of look into work 59 00:02:59,707 --> 00:03:02,307 Speaker 3: and we've got so much time and effort ince I 60 00:03:02,387 --> 00:03:04,987 Speaker 3: guess that sort of attack and being able to just 61 00:03:05,027 --> 00:03:07,907 Speaker 3: stay in it there, happy to build phases and just 62 00:03:07,907 --> 00:03:11,267 Speaker 3: get really direct and either the penalty advantages will come 63 00:03:11,387 --> 00:03:14,347 Speaker 3: or the space will open up for us. And you know, 64 00:03:14,387 --> 00:03:18,627 Speaker 3: credits everyone involved, like it has transferred from the training 65 00:03:18,667 --> 00:03:21,307 Speaker 3: field to the game, and you know, we looked back 66 00:03:21,307 --> 00:03:23,907 Speaker 3: at a game like the fourth, we're it ended going 67 00:03:23,947 --> 00:03:26,467 Speaker 3: to draw when it was really tight because we didn't 68 00:03:26,507 --> 00:03:28,467 Speaker 3: get that stuff, sort of didn't get that right. So 69 00:03:28,627 --> 00:03:31,747 Speaker 3: it's great that although it was an overly scrappy game 70 00:03:32,187 --> 00:03:36,067 Speaker 3: for us, we're able to I guess improve other areas. 71 00:03:37,347 --> 00:03:40,427 Speaker 3: And yeah, like I say, credit to everyone evolved because 72 00:03:40,427 --> 00:03:44,467 Speaker 3: there has been growth and transferred from training paddict into 73 00:03:44,547 --> 00:03:45,547 Speaker 3: I guess quite. 74 00:03:45,387 --> 00:03:48,347 Speaker 2: Last, the nature of the game these days is that 75 00:03:48,427 --> 00:03:50,147 Speaker 2: the bloke with the number nine on us back often 76 00:03:50,227 --> 00:03:53,467 Speaker 2: isn't it in the eighty first minute? I mean, you 77 00:03:53,667 --> 00:03:56,107 Speaker 2: don't often play the whole game. When did it become 78 00:03:56,147 --> 00:03:57,947 Speaker 2: apparent to you that you were just going to stay on? 79 00:03:59,467 --> 00:04:04,067 Speaker 3: Yeah, I figured when well, obviously both wingers been gone 80 00:04:04,227 --> 00:04:08,507 Speaker 3: early doesn't help. I knew that well. And he was 81 00:04:08,547 --> 00:04:11,107 Speaker 3: probably going to either play a role of selling in 82 00:04:11,147 --> 00:04:14,307 Speaker 3: for a position or like it's quite rescue when you've 83 00:04:14,347 --> 00:04:15,787 Speaker 3: only got one back on the bench if they were 84 00:04:15,827 --> 00:04:19,467 Speaker 3: to stub me off, what will happen? So to be fair, 85 00:04:19,547 --> 00:04:21,067 Speaker 3: to actually cross my line, I was pretty like there 86 00:04:21,107 --> 00:04:23,747 Speaker 3: was a lot going on, So I guess the last 87 00:04:23,787 --> 00:04:26,707 Speaker 3: twenty minutes I was pretty pretty focused on what was 88 00:04:26,707 --> 00:04:29,387 Speaker 3: happening and I wasn't really paying attention to what was 89 00:04:29,387 --> 00:04:32,467 Speaker 3: going on the sideline. But like I said, there's always 90 00:04:32,467 --> 00:04:34,387 Speaker 3: I love playing, you know, as many minutes as I 91 00:04:34,427 --> 00:04:38,067 Speaker 3: can and really enjoying starting. And you know, Edie is 92 00:04:38,107 --> 00:04:40,867 Speaker 3: a great team man, and allout this pointing for him. 93 00:04:41,307 --> 00:04:43,907 Speaker 3: I'm sure he'll get his opportunity in the weeks to come. 94 00:04:43,947 --> 00:04:47,787 Speaker 3: And yeah, hopefully the other boys, we've got a few 95 00:04:47,827 --> 00:04:50,187 Speaker 3: niggles or what not now, so hopefully we can we 96 00:04:50,227 --> 00:04:53,947 Speaker 3: can bounce back and get ready for the Reds and 97 00:04:53,987 --> 00:04:55,027 Speaker 3: Brisbane next week. 98 00:04:55,507 --> 00:04:57,227 Speaker 2: Here, we all know what you went through last year 99 00:04:57,227 --> 00:04:59,627 Speaker 2: to rehab from serious injury to make it back for 100 00:04:59,667 --> 00:05:02,867 Speaker 2: the end of season All Blacks two. You've played all 101 00:05:02,987 --> 00:05:06,947 Speaker 2: twelve of the Canes matches this season, eleven starts. It's 102 00:05:06,947 --> 00:05:08,667 Speaker 2: a silly question, I know, Camp, but how much are 103 00:05:08,707 --> 00:05:11,907 Speaker 2: you enjoying this season after a challenging twenty twenty four? 104 00:05:13,147 --> 00:05:16,907 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm loving it. Obviously, there's a team we faked 105 00:05:16,907 --> 00:05:18,547 Speaker 3: a bit of adversity at to start. You know, it 106 00:05:18,587 --> 00:05:21,307 Speaker 3: didn't start the way we wanted to and probably playing 107 00:05:21,307 --> 00:05:23,147 Speaker 3: the rugby that we want to as well, so it 108 00:05:23,267 --> 00:05:25,907 Speaker 3: was a bit of a bit of salt digging in 109 00:05:25,947 --> 00:05:28,347 Speaker 3: the early rounds. But I think we're starting to find 110 00:05:28,387 --> 00:05:30,987 Speaker 3: our feet. You know, I had some good ones over 111 00:05:30,987 --> 00:05:34,707 Speaker 3: the Brumbies the Chiefs obviously, and hopefully, you know, we 112 00:05:34,707 --> 00:05:37,067 Speaker 3: can start to build the momentum at the right end 113 00:05:37,067 --> 00:05:39,947 Speaker 3: of the year. Obviously, it was just appointing for myself 114 00:05:40,027 --> 00:05:42,067 Speaker 3: last year, but the team was going really well. But 115 00:05:42,587 --> 00:05:45,907 Speaker 3: we probably you know, looking back, probably played that best 116 00:05:45,907 --> 00:05:49,507 Speaker 3: footy when it you know, it wasn't the most important 117 00:05:49,547 --> 00:05:51,347 Speaker 3: time of the year. So hopefully we can if we 118 00:05:51,427 --> 00:05:53,547 Speaker 3: keep building some momentum, we can be playing our best 119 00:05:53,947 --> 00:05:56,307 Speaker 3: you know, at the right time. And if that's you know, 120 00:05:56,347 --> 00:05:58,747 Speaker 3: when we if hopefully we make the top six and 121 00:05:58,787 --> 00:06:00,827 Speaker 3: it's in the finals, then yeah, it's f's to go. 122 00:06:01,507 --> 00:06:05,107 Speaker 2: Speaking of long reheads, Brett Cameron made his return from 123 00:06:05,147 --> 00:06:07,667 Speaker 2: his long term enjoy last night, I ahead of schedule. 124 00:06:07,907 --> 00:06:10,387 Speaker 2: How much admiration do you have for him, particularly given 125 00:06:10,547 --> 00:06:12,787 Speaker 2: how difficult you know it is to rehab from an 126 00:06:12,827 --> 00:06:13,427 Speaker 2: injury like that. 127 00:06:14,947 --> 00:06:17,467 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like you know, with a c LS, you know, 128 00:06:17,507 --> 00:06:19,867 Speaker 3: it probably does a bit more damage to the need 129 00:06:19,947 --> 00:06:23,907 Speaker 3: and what my injury was, but you know, still very 130 00:06:23,947 --> 00:06:28,787 Speaker 3: significant and yeah, really I guess stoked for him to 131 00:06:28,907 --> 00:06:33,547 Speaker 3: sort of see a determination he has probably similar to mine, 132 00:06:33,587 --> 00:06:36,947 Speaker 3: and putting his head down working with the Hurricane medical 133 00:06:36,987 --> 00:06:39,947 Speaker 3: team like they've done a great job alongside him to 134 00:06:40,387 --> 00:06:42,427 Speaker 3: put in the working effort and sort of to get 135 00:06:42,427 --> 00:06:45,267 Speaker 3: it right. You know, I think this was the game 136 00:06:45,307 --> 00:06:46,987 Speaker 3: that he is sort of targeted right from the start, 137 00:06:47,147 --> 00:06:49,827 Speaker 3: which you know, if you're asking other people would be 138 00:06:50,147 --> 00:06:52,787 Speaker 3: ahead of time. So you really stoked for him, and 139 00:06:52,827 --> 00:06:55,547 Speaker 3: for him to come on at halftime and look like 140 00:06:55,587 --> 00:06:57,107 Speaker 3: he's been there all year. You know, he put on 141 00:06:57,147 --> 00:06:59,987 Speaker 3: a bit of a clinic kicks fifteen and two, put 142 00:07:00,027 --> 00:07:03,707 Speaker 3: some boys you know, in some really nice spots, set 143 00:07:03,787 --> 00:07:07,147 Speaker 3: up that line break before my try with the brig bridgeball. 144 00:07:07,507 --> 00:07:09,587 Speaker 3: Look like he's playing with lots of confidence straight away, 145 00:07:09,627 --> 00:07:14,347 Speaker 3: which you stop for him, like something that you never 146 00:07:14,387 --> 00:07:17,747 Speaker 3: want to happen. That can you hinder careers and whatnot 147 00:07:17,747 --> 00:07:19,347 Speaker 3: if you don't get it right. And yeah, it looks 148 00:07:19,347 --> 00:07:20,747 Speaker 3: like he's just picking up where he left. 149 00:07:20,667 --> 00:07:23,227 Speaker 2: Off nice one and just to finish. In his absence, 150 00:07:23,627 --> 00:07:25,867 Speaker 2: a couple of blokes have flooded into ten, including Ruben 151 00:07:25,907 --> 00:07:28,107 Speaker 2: Love who's played there in the last four games. Outside 152 00:07:28,147 --> 00:07:30,107 Speaker 2: you how much you enjoyed that partnership and hey, you 153 00:07:30,107 --> 00:07:31,027 Speaker 2: reckon he's going at ten. 154 00:07:32,547 --> 00:07:36,467 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great, well obviously to competers, and we've been 155 00:07:36,787 --> 00:07:40,867 Speaker 3: here the whole time together. So we played once when 156 00:07:40,907 --> 00:07:44,747 Speaker 3: we're on twenty twenty one at we're both young pups, 157 00:07:44,787 --> 00:07:47,347 Speaker 3: but so it's been good to I guess build that 158 00:07:47,427 --> 00:07:51,227 Speaker 3: combination with him, you know, since the opportunity has been there, 159 00:07:51,267 --> 00:07:53,907 Speaker 3: and yeah, really enjoying it. You know, such a great 160 00:07:53,907 --> 00:07:57,787 Speaker 3: athlete and so determined to keep getting better each each day. 161 00:07:57,827 --> 00:08:02,147 Speaker 3: And I guess that game driver, you know, running the 162 00:08:02,187 --> 00:08:05,627 Speaker 3: game is you know, it's a big challenge for us, 163 00:08:05,667 --> 00:08:08,467 Speaker 3: and we're still some of the young and so being 164 00:08:08,467 --> 00:08:12,187 Speaker 3: able to, I guess do that together, especially when we 165 00:08:12,267 --> 00:08:14,467 Speaker 3: probably had a bit of adversity at the start, you know, 166 00:08:14,507 --> 00:08:16,787 Speaker 3: trying to find our feet with how we attack and 167 00:08:17,427 --> 00:08:19,627 Speaker 3: close out games and whatnot. So it's been a great 168 00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:21,747 Speaker 3: challenge for both of us.
