Tomody, thanks for joining us. 61 00:03:40,667 --> 00:03:45,067 Speaker 3: What's your overall evaluation of the All Blacks performance today? 62 00:03:45,667 --> 00:03:50,707 Speaker 6: You probably didn't take opportunities in the first half. They 63 00:03:50,747 --> 00:03:54,107 Speaker 6: took beers, you know, they and then started well after 64 00:03:54,187 --> 00:03:54,587 Speaker 6: the half. 65 00:03:55,627 --> 00:03:58,707 Speaker 3: What areas in particular are going to be most important 66 00:03:58,747 --> 00:04:01,947 Speaker 3: for you to review and address. 67 00:04:03,187 --> 00:04:06,347 Speaker 6: I think a couple of structural on the defensive side 68 00:04:06,347 --> 00:04:10,467 Speaker 6: out of the ball, just off the line out there 69 00:04:10,467 --> 00:04:13,627 Speaker 6: and off the scrum. Probably a couple of individual pieces, 70 00:04:13,627 --> 00:04:15,907 Speaker 6: but still a bit of job of helping each other 71 00:04:15,947 --> 00:04:20,987 Speaker 6: and being clear on who's doing what pre pre scrum 72 00:04:21,027 --> 00:04:23,467 Speaker 6: engagement before the ball comes out of the line out, is. 73 00:04:23,427 --> 00:04:26,827 Speaker 3: The team implementing the game plan that you're asking them to. 74 00:04:28,827 --> 00:04:31,547 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think when you when you see the boys 75 00:04:31,547 --> 00:04:36,267 Speaker 6: play with speed, you use their feet, and I think 76 00:04:36,347 --> 00:04:38,587 Speaker 6: you saw, you know, when we created those opportunities on 77 00:04:38,587 --> 00:04:41,387 Speaker 6: the edges in the first half, I was really clear 78 00:04:41,387 --> 00:04:44,027 Speaker 6: with the spot the space was, and so we had 79 00:04:44,067 --> 00:04:47,147 Speaker 6: more opportunities to get there as well. So you know, 80 00:04:47,387 --> 00:04:49,027 Speaker 6: I think we look really good in those moments. 81 00:04:50,507 --> 00:04:52,707 Speaker 3: What did you make of the yellow card, Cody Taylor? 82 00:04:54,347 --> 00:04:55,747 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's fair. 83 00:04:55,827 --> 00:04:57,987 Speaker 6: You know, the rest are coming down now on on 84 00:04:58,067 --> 00:05:01,427 Speaker 6: cynical plane that was deemed cynical. So yeah, if you're 85 00:05:01,427 --> 00:05:02,587 Speaker 6: going to steal the ball, you're going to steal it 86 00:05:02,587 --> 00:05:04,387 Speaker 6: while they're still in the air, not once it's hit 87 00:05:04,467 --> 00:05:04,827 Speaker 6: the ground. 88 00:05:06,467 --> 00:05:10,747 Speaker 3: Why is the twenty minute period after halftime such an 89 00:05:10,787 --> 00:05:11,987 Speaker 3: issue for you at the moment? 90 00:05:13,107 --> 00:05:18,187 Speaker 6: I think that you know, in the game context, you 91 00:05:18,227 --> 00:05:21,787 Speaker 6: know the opposition teams have have come out and really 92 00:05:21,787 --> 00:05:24,267 Speaker 6: fired the first shot, So I think it's important that 93 00:05:24,267 --> 00:05:27,827 Speaker 6: we're really clear on what that looks like and that 94 00:05:27,947 --> 00:05:30,787 Speaker 6: team's really come out after the half with that intent. 95 00:05:31,547 --> 00:05:33,187 Speaker 6: At the same time, I thought that they started with 96 00:05:33,227 --> 00:05:36,907 Speaker 6: intent as well, regardless of the score, their their collisions 97 00:05:36,947 --> 00:05:39,947 Speaker 6: and their carry and clean and the time they stolen 98 00:05:39,987 --> 00:05:40,467 Speaker 6: the tackle. 99 00:05:41,067 --> 00:05:42,427 Speaker 7: They did a really good job there. 100 00:05:43,707 --> 00:05:45,587 Speaker 3: What's fatigue effactor at all today? 101 00:05:46,987 --> 00:05:48,907 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's always a fact that it's something 102 00:05:48,907 --> 00:05:51,467 Speaker 6: that you have to manage and you and you. 103 00:05:51,227 --> 00:05:51,747 Speaker 7: Do the best. 104 00:05:51,747 --> 00:05:54,147 Speaker 6: As I said in the part, we've got net Gil here, 105 00:05:54,227 --> 00:05:59,187 Speaker 6: we're really lucky he structures the week around load of 106 00:05:59,507 --> 00:06:02,827 Speaker 6: what the boys need and obviously he's he's done that 107 00:06:02,867 --> 00:06:05,827 Speaker 6: for a long time. So there's always going to be 108 00:06:05,827 --> 00:06:09,307 Speaker 6: fatigued just this end of the season for teams that 109 00:06:09,347 --> 00:06:12,827 Speaker 6: are coming towards the end. So it's just just making 110 00:06:12,867 --> 00:06:16,187 Speaker 6: sure that we're really clear with the coms and and 111 00:06:16,227 --> 00:06:18,427 Speaker 6: when someone's had enough, like in any collision support that 112 00:06:18,747 --> 00:06:21,587 Speaker 6: you get the next glay on And. 113 00:06:20,707 --> 00:06:23,507 Speaker 3: What about the aerial game Tamote. How much more improvement 114 00:06:23,867 --> 00:06:26,267 Speaker 3: do you perceive there is still required there? 115 00:06:27,307 --> 00:06:27,507 Speaker 7: Yeah? 116 00:06:27,547 --> 00:06:31,427 Speaker 6: I think in all the games, you know, like the 117 00:06:31,467 --> 00:06:36,587 Speaker 6: Spring Box Italy game earlier, the amount of you know, 118 00:06:36,947 --> 00:06:40,147 Speaker 6: clean catches that weren't taken. It's more the work after 119 00:06:40,227 --> 00:06:42,107 Speaker 6: the catch and the scraps on the ground that we're 120 00:06:42,147 --> 00:06:45,987 Speaker 6: seeing more and more. You know, it's a constant work 121 00:06:46,027 --> 00:06:49,067 Speaker 6: on for us, for sure, but it's also constant work 122 00:06:49,107 --> 00:06:52,947 Speaker 6: on for everyone now adapting to the rules, not just 123 00:06:52,987 --> 00:06:54,827 Speaker 6: on in the air but on the ground also. You 124 00:06:54,907 --> 00:06:57,987 Speaker 6: see when when the board bobbles, who's first to get that? 125 00:06:59,507 --> 00:07:02,307 Speaker 3: Have you seen improvements in general terms on this all 126 00:07:02,347 --> 00:07:03,827 Speaker 3: Black side in twenty twenty five? 127 00:07:04,867 --> 00:07:06,947 Speaker 7: Yeah? I think so. 128 00:07:06,987 --> 00:07:10,547 Speaker 6: I definitely do you know different different players coming in 129 00:07:10,627 --> 00:07:13,427 Speaker 6: and executing. 130 00:07:15,107 --> 00:07:15,707 Speaker 7: Here for sure? 131 00:07:17,587 --> 00:07:20,507 Speaker 3: And if you're looking for areas where more improvement is 132 00:07:20,547 --> 00:07:22,627 Speaker 3: still needed, where would you be focusing? 133 00:07:24,907 --> 00:07:27,467 Speaker 6: You always start with my area that you know something 134 00:07:27,467 --> 00:07:32,067 Speaker 6: I lead around the defense and I'm stealing time in 135 00:07:32,107 --> 00:07:34,187 Speaker 6: the techle. We did a good job against the Scotts 136 00:07:34,267 --> 00:07:37,547 Speaker 6: last week of slowing them down de fending for long phases, 137 00:07:37,587 --> 00:07:40,427 Speaker 6: which you have to do at times, whereas tonight we 138 00:07:40,427 --> 00:07:42,267 Speaker 6: didn't probably steal as much time in a tackle and 139 00:07:43,027 --> 00:07:45,627 Speaker 6: they were able to play with more speed than than 140 00:07:45,627 --> 00:07:46,267 Speaker 6: we would have liked. 141 00:07:47,347 --> 00:07:49,947 Speaker 3: So we're about to reach the midway point of the 142 00:07:49,987 --> 00:07:53,627 Speaker 3: World Cup cycle. How far from where you want to be? 143 00:07:54,227 --> 00:07:54,547 Speaker 3: Are you? 144 00:07:56,147 --> 00:07:56,307 Speaker 7: Oh? 145 00:07:56,347 --> 00:07:58,627 Speaker 6: This this is definitely still a gift, and you know 146 00:07:58,667 --> 00:08:04,907 Speaker 6: we're always chasing and building towards where we want to 147 00:08:04,947 --> 00:08:05,867 Speaker 6: get to for sure. 148 00:08:07,587 --> 00:08:09,387 Speaker 7: And the continuing to adapt to the game. 149 00:08:09,427 --> 00:08:12,427 Speaker 6: As you mentioned, the aerial game is something and there's 150 00:08:12,467 --> 00:08:15,947 Speaker 6: been massive the sheer across all the internationals, so that 151 00:08:15,947 --> 00:08:18,707 Speaker 6: these individual areas and it's a matter of continuing to 152 00:08:18,747 --> 00:08:21,667 Speaker 6: develop the individuals for those roles. 153 00:08:22,427 --> 00:08:25,107 Speaker 3: And I know it's not your particular brief, but in 154 00:08:25,187 --> 00:08:27,827 Speaker 3: terms of attack is there's still some work to do 155 00:08:27,907 --> 00:08:32,547 Speaker 3: around around sparking the backline more regularly rather than relying 156 00:08:32,587 --> 00:08:35,427 Speaker 3: on individual flashes of brilliance to score tries. 157 00:08:36,787 --> 00:08:37,907 Speaker 7: I think I think it's both. 158 00:08:37,947 --> 00:08:40,547 Speaker 6: You know, the really back out athletes in one on 159 00:08:40,547 --> 00:08:45,147 Speaker 6: one situations. At the same time you're always trying to 160 00:08:45,587 --> 00:08:49,227 Speaker 6: drive more cohesion and more rhythm, So it's definitely both. 161 00:08:49,267 --> 00:08:52,227 Speaker 6: We've got great individual athletes and we want them to 162 00:08:52,267 --> 00:08:53,427 Speaker 6: fully express themselves. 163 00:08:53,467 --> 00:08:57,307 Speaker 7: So they said that there's a gap in all. 164 00:08:57,187 --> 00:09:00,027 Speaker 6: The areas and so they should be because of the 165 00:09:00,067 --> 00:09:01,187 Speaker 6: standard that we're chasing. 166 00:09:02,987 --> 00:09:06,347 Speaker 3: Is this a gutting loss for you? 167 00:09:07,267 --> 00:09:11,307 Speaker 7: It is definitely is yes. 168 00:09:11,387 --> 00:09:12,987 Speaker 6: I mean you only have to come into the changing 169 00:09:13,067 --> 00:09:15,787 Speaker 6: room to see that and see how much the group 170 00:09:15,827 --> 00:09:16,987 Speaker 6: feels it. 171 00:09:17,307 --> 00:09:18,547 Speaker 7: You know.

Oh one hundred 181 00:09:41,627 --> 00:09:47,347 Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty one. Thing is pretty clear the 182 00:09:47,387 --> 00:09:53,707 Speaker 3: All Blacks have not improved under Scott Robertson. As fans, 183 00:09:53,787 --> 00:09:57,627 Speaker 3: we are not more confident now than we were at 184 00:09:57,627 --> 00:10:00,907 Speaker 3: the start of Racer's tenure. Twenty six test matches, nineteen wins, 185 00:10:00,947 --> 00:10:05,547 Speaker 3: seven losses. It's a seventy three percent win record. Three 186 00:10:05,587 --> 00:10:07,987 Speaker 3: loss to Sue South Africa twice to Argentina de France 187 00:10:07,987 --> 00:10:10,347 Speaker 3: and out of England. But the numbers are only part 188 00:10:10,387 --> 00:10:15,867 Speaker 3: of this. What is the All Blacks game plan? What 189 00:10:16,067 --> 00:10:19,787 Speaker 3: is the strategy for winning these big test matches? What 190 00:10:19,947 --> 00:10:24,387 Speaker 3: should we be seeing out there at the moment. We're 191 00:10:24,387 --> 00:10:27,987 Speaker 3: winning test matches courtesy really of individual brilliants rather than 192 00:10:28,027 --> 00:10:31,627 Speaker 3: a well executed and obvious game plan. Last week against Scotland, 193 00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:34,147 Speaker 3: Damien McKenzie basically won that game for us off the bench. 194 00:10:34,427 --> 00:10:37,867 Speaker 3: The previous week against Ireland, a late surge after a 195 00:10:37,907 --> 00:10:41,347 Speaker 3: pretty underwhelming first hour. Today, we didn't get those flashes 196 00:10:41,427 --> 00:10:45,427 Speaker 3: of inspiration and relying on them isn't a sound strategy anyway, 197 00:10:46,147 --> 00:10:49,427 Speaker 3: because it means we become dependent on individuals, not on 198 00:10:49,467 --> 00:10:52,507 Speaker 3: a game plan which works regardless of who was out there. 199 00:10:53,947 --> 00:10:57,827 Speaker 3: Where are the creative back line moves that were a 200 00:10:57,907 --> 00:11:02,107 Speaker 3: hallmark of the great All Black sides, using pace, quick hands, 201 00:11:02,147 --> 00:11:07,827 Speaker 3: deception accuracy to cut open the opposition. Very rarely in 202 00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:11,267 Speaker 3: the last two years have we seen a consistently cohesive 203 00:11:11,347 --> 00:11:18,587 Speaker 3: attacking performance from the All Blacks. The inexplicable third quarter 204 00:11:18,667 --> 00:11:23,747 Speaker 3: blues which have afflicted the All Blacks. This requires examination. 205 00:11:23,867 --> 00:11:28,507 Speaker 3: We haven't scored a single point between halftime and the 206 00:11:28,587 --> 00:11:33,867 Speaker 3: sixty minute mark. In the last four Test matches, Ireland 207 00:11:33,867 --> 00:11:36,547 Speaker 3: got only three points in that period in Chicago, Scotland 208 00:11:36,627 --> 00:11:40,387 Speaker 3: scored seventeen unanswered points in that period last weekend, and 209 00:11:40,467 --> 00:11:44,387 Speaker 3: England scored fourteen unanswered points in that period. Today we 210 00:11:44,387 --> 00:11:46,187 Speaker 3: were actually pretty good in the first half. Certainly in 211 00:11:46,227 --> 00:11:48,667 Speaker 3: the first twenty five minutes two tries, not a single 212 00:11:48,707 --> 00:11:52,307 Speaker 3: penalty conceded, disrupting England's line out, repelling everything they threw 213 00:11:52,347 --> 00:11:54,627 Speaker 3: at us. But those two late drop goals in the 214 00:11:54,627 --> 00:11:56,907 Speaker 3: first half, which squeezed the score line up, just gave 215 00:11:56,907 --> 00:11:59,267 Speaker 3: England a springboard to pounce from in the second half, 216 00:11:59,267 --> 00:12:02,947 Speaker 3: and once they were ahead, helped by another avoidable yellow 217 00:12:02,987 --> 00:12:05,627 Speaker 3: card to one of the team's veterans, there never seemed 218 00:12:05,627 --> 00:12:07,307 Speaker 3: to be an obvious way back for the All Blacks. 219 00:12:07,747 --> 00:12:09,987 Speaker 3: I always used to think the All Blacks would win 220 00:12:10,067 --> 00:12:13,827 Speaker 3: Test matches even if they were behind. I didn't get 221 00:12:13,827 --> 00:12:17,507 Speaker 3: that feeling this morning. Our aerial game is still a 222 00:12:17,547 --> 00:12:21,667 Speaker 3: major weakness. Teams know it. England peppered us and got rewards. 223 00:12:21,987 --> 00:12:25,627 Speaker 3: Will Jordan is an absolutely fantastic rugby player, but this 224 00:12:25,827 --> 00:12:29,987 Speaker 3: is a glaring weakness in his game and teams will 225 00:12:29,987 --> 00:12:36,267 Speaker 3: capitalize on it. Boden Barrett absolutely magnificent servant and player 226 00:12:36,267 --> 00:12:38,267 Speaker 3: for the All Blacks, but he's had a challenging year 227 00:12:38,947 --> 00:12:44,027 Speaker 3: and this morning was another mixed performance, missing touchs from 228 00:12:44,067 --> 00:12:47,187 Speaker 3: penalties something he never does, has kicked and play inaccurate. 229 00:12:47,227 --> 00:12:50,027 Speaker 3: He just looked well off his game, out of gas. 230 00:12:51,427 --> 00:12:53,627 Speaker 3: It was revealed afterwards he was carrying an injury, which 231 00:12:53,667 --> 00:12:57,387 Speaker 3: clearly didn't help, but Bowden Barrett had one of his 232 00:12:57,747 --> 00:13:00,227 Speaker 3: less memorable test matches. Look, the All Blacks are going 233 00:13:00,227 --> 00:13:02,867 Speaker 3: to beat Wales next week and some guys who have 234 00:13:02,907 --> 00:13:04,987 Speaker 3: had to hold tackle bags during the week and watch 235 00:13:04,987 --> 00:13:06,547 Speaker 3: from the stands in the last three game are going 236 00:13:06,587 --> 00:13:08,227 Speaker 3: to get the chance to end their year on a high. 237 00:13:08,227 --> 00:13:11,747 Speaker 3: But that won't mask the fact that this is an 238 00:13:11,787 --> 00:13:16,387 Speaker 3: All Black side at a crossroads. A group of terrific 239 00:13:16,427 --> 00:13:20,547 Speaker 3: rugby players who are failing to be consistently meshed into 240 00:13:20,587 --> 00:13:24,347 Speaker 3: a truly imposing team. There are teams struggling to find 241 00:13:24,387 --> 00:13:28,987 Speaker 3: an identity and the ability to play for eighty minutes 242 00:13:29,067 --> 00:13:31,947 Speaker 3: or even close to it, a coaching staff with several 243 00:13:32,187 --> 00:13:36,747 Speaker 3: areas of concern to address, and a group with a 244 00:13:36,907 --> 00:13:39,147 Speaker 3: huge chunk of work to do in the next two 245 00:13:39,227 --> 00:13:42,467 Speaker 3: years if they are to mount a serious challenge for 246 00:13:42,507 --> 00:13:43,707 Speaker 3: the next Rugby World Cup. 247 00:13:44,667 --> 00:13:48,227 Speaker 1: The Voice of Sport on your home of Sport Weekend 248 00:13:48,307 --> 00:13:49,587 Speaker 1: Sport with Jason. 249 00:13:51,267 --> 00:13:53,067 Speaker 3: Let's get to some of your calls. Blair high mate, 250 00:13:53,067 --> 00:13:53,907 Speaker 3: thanks for holding. 251 00:13:55,227 --> 00:13:55,907 Speaker 9: Here you give the mate. 252 00:13:56,507 --> 00:13:59,227 Speaker 10: Yeah, well you've given a good summary there. I would 253 00:14:00,187 --> 00:14:02,187 Speaker 10: I would say if you were rating the All Blacks 254 00:14:02,267 --> 00:14:04,427 Speaker 10: right at this moment in time, you'd have to give 255 00:14:04,547 --> 00:14:07,467 Speaker 10: this season five out of ten. But worse, if you 256 00:14:07,507 --> 00:14:10,467 Speaker 10: were rating the coaches, you'd give them a three out 257 00:14:10,467 --> 00:14:13,667 Speaker 10: of ten. There doesn't seem to be a game plan. 258 00:14:13,867 --> 00:14:17,107 Speaker 10: There doesn't seem to be a focus on discipline. There 259 00:14:17,227 --> 00:14:19,827 Speaker 10: doesn't seem to be a focus on taking the high ball. 260 00:14:20,667 --> 00:14:24,387 Speaker 10: With George Barrett gone, who is there who you could 261 00:14:24,467 --> 00:14:26,667 Speaker 10: actually look at and go it's all right, he's dropping 262 00:14:26,707 --> 00:14:31,987 Speaker 10: back to take the high ball. The forwards, well I'm 263 00:14:32,027 --> 00:14:37,507 Speaker 10: going to have a little go here. Pioneered some sacred cows. 264 00:14:38,147 --> 00:14:41,067 Speaker 10: Where's day to saba Bean? All season he was outplayed 265 00:14:41,067 --> 00:14:45,147 Speaker 10: by Argentina, outplayed by South Africa, outplayed by Australia, and 266 00:14:45,467 --> 00:14:50,027 Speaker 10: he was outplayed today by England. But you know we 267 00:14:50,147 --> 00:14:52,307 Speaker 10: keep where what would we have done if we had 268 00:14:52,307 --> 00:14:55,507 Speaker 10: had carefe with a bit of mongrel breakdown today because 269 00:14:55,587 --> 00:14:59,627 Speaker 10: Lark Eye's been very good. Park has been okay and 270 00:14:59,667 --> 00:15:03,947 Speaker 10: I think he'll get better. So Teeth he's been very average. Barrett, 271 00:15:03,947 --> 00:15:09,667 Speaker 10: Scott Barrett hasn't fired a shotle see Cody Taylor. You know, 272 00:15:09,947 --> 00:15:13,467 Speaker 10: these are guys, leadership guys, and they're just stop providing 273 00:15:13,507 --> 00:15:17,147 Speaker 10: any leadership. Holland and Larkeye have been our best forwards 274 00:15:17,147 --> 00:15:22,067 Speaker 10: this season by by a country mile. You know, Lord 275 00:15:22,107 --> 00:15:27,867 Speaker 10: and Dowry show promise. Tocy looks good when he's given opportunities, 276 00:15:28,467 --> 00:15:31,867 Speaker 10: but there doesn't seem to be any leadership up front, 277 00:15:32,467 --> 00:15:36,107 Speaker 10: and I think that spills into the back line. Body's 278 00:15:36,107 --> 00:15:39,147 Speaker 10: been injured. Paf the season. He you know, he's had 279 00:15:39,147 --> 00:15:41,947 Speaker 10: a shocking too of the head knocks and stuff. But 280 00:15:42,027 --> 00:15:45,627 Speaker 10: for some reason, Scott Robinson only wants Reuben Loved to 281 00:15:45,707 --> 00:15:46,707 Speaker 10: carry tacklebacks. 282 00:15:48,067 --> 00:15:51,427 Speaker 3: Yeah there was a yeah, yeah, Lots lots to unpack 283 00:15:51,427 --> 00:15:53,027 Speaker 3: their blair. I want to I want to pick on 284 00:15:53,067 --> 00:15:54,907 Speaker 3: a pick up on a couple of things that you said. 285 00:15:55,867 --> 00:15:58,707 Speaker 3: There does seem to be still an inherent conservatism about 286 00:15:58,747 --> 00:16:01,787 Speaker 3: selection has to be said, and that would be fine 287 00:16:01,827 --> 00:16:04,587 Speaker 3: if we were winning every week, but that's not the case. 288 00:16:06,227 --> 00:16:08,907 Speaker 3: And also it actually wouldn't matter if we lost the 289 00:16:08,947 --> 00:16:12,267 Speaker 3: odd test match here and there if we could see improvement. 290 00:16:12,707 --> 00:16:15,987 Speaker 3: I just cannot see improvement in this team. I don't feel, 291 00:16:16,027 --> 00:16:18,067 Speaker 3: like I said at the start of the show, I 292 00:16:18,107 --> 00:16:20,747 Speaker 3: don't feel more confident now than I did two years ago. 293 00:16:22,227 --> 00:16:26,507 Speaker 3: I don't. I haven't seen anywhere near enough in the 294 00:16:26,587 --> 00:16:30,107 Speaker 3: last two years to feel confident about the World Cup 295 00:16:30,147 --> 00:16:32,587 Speaker 3: in two years from now. Look, there are other teams 296 00:16:32,587 --> 00:16:34,867 Speaker 3: who have had lulls in between World Cups and have 297 00:16:34,907 --> 00:16:37,587 Speaker 3: come good at the right time. But there are so 298 00:16:37,787 --> 00:16:40,147 Speaker 3: many areas to address here, and you've picked up on 299 00:16:40,187 --> 00:16:43,427 Speaker 3: about a dozen of them. I don't even know where 300 00:16:43,427 --> 00:16:46,427 Speaker 3: you would start. You would have to come up with 301 00:16:46,467 --> 00:16:49,107 Speaker 3: the most important things. Your first point about the aerial ball, 302 00:16:49,187 --> 00:16:52,867 Speaker 3: I mean, Will Jordan just looks like he looks just 303 00:16:53,347 --> 00:16:56,627 Speaker 3: so uncertain under the high ball. I just don't understand it. 304 00:16:56,667 --> 00:16:58,547 Speaker 3: For a guy who's so good in every other part 305 00:16:58,547 --> 00:17:01,227 Speaker 3: of his game and has the best coaches apparently at 306 00:17:01,547 --> 00:17:07,267 Speaker 3: his disposal to teach him this stuff, that he just 307 00:17:07,307 --> 00:17:10,387 Speaker 3: looks so uncertain under the high ball, I just don't 308 00:17:10,427 --> 00:17:11,067 Speaker 3: understand it. 309 00:17:12,867 --> 00:17:16,867 Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't get it. I don't you know, and 310 00:17:17,147 --> 00:17:20,427 Speaker 10: I don't think we have a coach there who you know, 311 00:17:20,627 --> 00:17:24,947 Speaker 10: We've had some great players Israel, Dad, Ben Smith, Corey 312 00:17:25,067 --> 00:17:28,147 Speaker 10: Jane that they were some of the best exponents of 313 00:17:28,187 --> 00:17:32,067 Speaker 10: the high ball in the world for years, and yet 314 00:17:32,107 --> 00:17:35,627 Speaker 10: suddenly we've got a bunch of guys who can't catch 315 00:17:35,667 --> 00:17:37,387 Speaker 10: the high ball. To save themselves. 316 00:17:37,627 --> 00:17:39,027 Speaker 3: We need to get mc burn, We need to get 317 00:17:39,067 --> 00:17:40,947 Speaker 3: mc burn back in there. Blair's he was the guy 318 00:17:41,227 --> 00:17:43,987 Speaker 3: who was instrumental in that bomb squad of twenty eleven. 319 00:17:44,147 --> 00:17:48,507 Speaker 3: Mcburn Corey Jane says it the reason that he in 320 00:17:48,627 --> 00:17:51,547 Speaker 3: Israel and Richard Carhu he was so good that year 321 00:17:52,267 --> 00:17:55,307 Speaker 3: was because of the guidance they got from mc burn. 322 00:17:56,387 --> 00:17:59,507 Speaker 3: And yeah, I know you can't go back, mate, but yeah, 323 00:17:59,627 --> 00:18:00,907 Speaker 3: hey Blair, I've got a lot of calls to get 324 00:18:00,907 --> 00:18:02,707 Speaker 3: to us. You can probably understand. Thanks for kicking us 325 00:18:02,707 --> 00:18:07,507 Speaker 3: off in such passionate fashion. Mate, Jill, Hello, oh hi, 326 00:18:07,827 --> 00:18:11,707 Speaker 3: how are you. I'm okay, Jill, that's good. 327 00:18:11,867 --> 00:18:15,107 Speaker 11: Well, I'm not because of the. 328 00:18:16,827 --> 00:18:20,347 Speaker 12: Depth of the loss. To me is that What I'm 329 00:18:20,387 --> 00:18:23,987 Speaker 12: thinking is the Barretts have done their time. 330 00:18:25,307 --> 00:18:25,827 Speaker 13: A part. 331 00:18:25,867 --> 00:18:28,667 Speaker 12: Maybe Jordie can carry on. But I think the rest 332 00:18:28,707 --> 00:18:32,987 Speaker 12: of them have done their days well. 333 00:18:33,067 --> 00:18:37,627 Speaker 3: I would say, Jill that they have not had memorable years. 334 00:18:37,667 --> 00:18:42,267 Speaker 3: Scott and Boden, they've both been afflicted by injury. I 335 00:18:42,347 --> 00:18:46,867 Speaker 3: think Boden, by his own admission, has has for whatever reason, 336 00:18:47,827 --> 00:18:50,347 Speaker 3: struggled this year, which is so odd to say about 337 00:18:50,347 --> 00:18:53,147 Speaker 3: a one hundred and forty test all black. But to 338 00:18:53,187 --> 00:18:55,747 Speaker 3: me today he just looked. He lookspen, he looked out 339 00:18:55,747 --> 00:19:00,427 Speaker 3: of gas to me, and he made uncharacteristic errors. Scott Baron. Look, 340 00:19:00,667 --> 00:19:02,507 Speaker 3: I've said a couple of times I've said, sorry, Jill, 341 00:19:02,547 --> 00:19:04,187 Speaker 3: I will come back to you. On Scott've a couple 342 00:19:04,227 --> 00:19:05,867 Speaker 3: of times I've said, I think he's incumbered by I 343 00:19:05,907 --> 00:19:10,667 Speaker 3: think he's encumbered by the captaincy and I just wonder 344 00:19:10,707 --> 00:19:14,307 Speaker 3: whether it sits comfortably with him. Jordie, I think we'll 345 00:19:14,347 --> 00:19:15,747 Speaker 3: be back. Yeah, I think JORDI will be back. 346 00:19:17,107 --> 00:19:22,107 Speaker 12: Body has been a great servant and I agree with you. 347 00:19:22,227 --> 00:19:28,307 Speaker 12: I don't think the captain tree suits Scott, and therefore. 348 00:19:29,947 --> 00:19:32,187 Speaker 4: I would like Ardie Severe. 349 00:19:33,467 --> 00:19:35,467 Speaker 14: To step in. 350 00:19:36,027 --> 00:19:39,947 Speaker 12: Doesn't mean Scott's not a good player, that just means 351 00:19:40,507 --> 00:19:43,387 Speaker 12: the captaincye isn't suited to him. 352 00:19:44,507 --> 00:19:46,827 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's no crime, Jill, is it? That's no crime. 353 00:19:46,867 --> 00:19:48,627 Speaker 3: There's a lot There are a lot of players who 354 00:19:48,827 --> 00:19:53,107 Speaker 3: who are terrific players and who don't, sue Captain c. 355 00:19:54,267 --> 00:19:57,027 Speaker 3: We can't tell what Scott Barrett's like inside the team environment. 356 00:19:57,027 --> 00:20:00,507 Speaker 3: It's impossible for us to tell. We don't know, but 357 00:20:01,347 --> 00:20:04,667 Speaker 3: I don't know. He just looks wayed down by it. 358 00:20:04,667 --> 00:20:08,147 Speaker 3: It just doesn't seem like a nat All fit for him. 359 00:20:08,507 --> 00:20:11,387 Speaker 3: And that's okay. On that said it a couple of 360 00:20:11,467 --> 00:20:14,507 Speaker 3: weeks ago, go away and be the best lock forward 361 00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:17,227 Speaker 3: in the world, because we know how good he can be. 362 00:20:18,987 --> 00:20:25,347 Speaker 3: Thanks j you'll appreciate it. Riccardo, Hello, Ricardo? Have we 363 00:20:25,427 --> 00:20:25,947 Speaker 3: got yet? 364 00:20:26,987 --> 00:20:27,067 Speaker 15: No? 365 00:20:27,347 --> 00:20:30,827 Speaker 3: Ricardo's gone. It's got a Peter up Hey, Peter, Well, 366 00:20:30,907 --> 00:20:32,707 Speaker 3: the only I. 367 00:20:32,667 --> 00:20:34,227 Speaker 4: Just thought a bit of breath. I'm just trying, man. 368 00:20:34,307 --> 00:20:40,387 Speaker 3: Irons, You're you're just doing what what are you out about? 369 00:20:40,467 --> 00:20:42,267 Speaker 3: Getting some? Are you nice? 370 00:20:42,747 --> 00:20:42,947 Speaker 8: Yeah? 371 00:20:42,947 --> 00:20:45,987 Speaker 4: He didn't better exercise right Mount Island and Monica. It's 372 00:20:45,987 --> 00:20:46,547 Speaker 4: a great walk. 373 00:20:47,307 --> 00:20:48,427 Speaker 9: Yeah. 374 00:20:48,707 --> 00:20:51,467 Speaker 4: Look, I rang you a couple of weeks ago about 375 00:20:51,467 --> 00:20:55,867 Speaker 4: Burden Barrus and you said he made uncharacteristic yeah, and 376 00:20:56,107 --> 00:21:01,187 Speaker 4: characteristic errors yesterday. Well then they're not uncharacteristic. I brought 377 00:21:01,267 --> 00:21:04,267 Speaker 4: up the fact that that was an error he made 378 00:21:04,307 --> 00:21:07,587 Speaker 4: in that game, and he made the same error twice 379 00:21:07,707 --> 00:21:13,227 Speaker 4: in this game. Now that's not uncharacteristic. Now we had, 380 00:21:14,027 --> 00:21:18,347 Speaker 4: we had momentum up until the point where he picked 381 00:21:18,347 --> 00:21:24,467 Speaker 4: it away. He kicked that first enalty dick into the 382 00:21:24,507 --> 00:21:28,627 Speaker 4: in a goal, and the momentum sagged. And then he 383 00:21:28,667 --> 00:21:31,347 Speaker 4: did it again on the left touch line, and it 384 00:21:31,387 --> 00:21:36,107 Speaker 4: sagged even more and the momentum never recovered from that point. 385 00:21:36,907 --> 00:21:39,027 Speaker 4: So I put the loss. I set the loss home 386 00:21:39,067 --> 00:21:42,907 Speaker 4: to Golden Barrats. If we had those kicks would have 387 00:21:42,987 --> 00:21:45,867 Speaker 4: ended up very close to the try line, and our 388 00:21:46,027 --> 00:21:49,387 Speaker 4: lineouts were going so well, chances are we would have 389 00:21:49,387 --> 00:21:54,547 Speaker 4: scored twice. Now he's got to stop kicking. And at 390 00:21:54,547 --> 00:21:58,107 Speaker 4: one other point he made an aimless kick back, just aimless, 391 00:21:58,627 --> 00:22:00,107 Speaker 4: and they picked it up and ran with it. And 392 00:22:01,227 --> 00:22:03,227 Speaker 4: just he's got to stop kicking. And I see in 393 00:22:03,227 --> 00:22:05,987 Speaker 4: the second half they put Jordan on the kicking role. 394 00:22:06,027 --> 00:22:08,747 Speaker 4: He was allowed to kick tible to kicks to touch anymore. 395 00:22:08,787 --> 00:22:11,147 Speaker 4: Jordan did it, or Jordan should have been doing it 396 00:22:11,187 --> 00:22:13,707 Speaker 4: all the way along. I just don't get it. And 397 00:22:13,747 --> 00:22:17,867 Speaker 4: that seats home to Scott Robinson. He's fully responsible for that, 398 00:22:18,507 --> 00:22:21,147 Speaker 4: and I shoot it home to him and the coaching. 399 00:22:21,387 --> 00:22:24,467 Speaker 4: I hate bagging coaches, but by golly, something's got to change. 400 00:22:24,587 --> 00:22:28,187 Speaker 4: We are not going ahead, we're going backwards and Boden 401 00:22:28,227 --> 00:22:30,787 Speaker 4: Barrett has got a problem and it needs to be fixed. 402 00:22:30,787 --> 00:22:33,667 Speaker 4: If he needs to be removed or told not to kick, 403 00:22:34,267 --> 00:22:37,547 Speaker 4: but something's got to be done. It's hugely frustrating for 404 00:22:37,987 --> 00:22:39,627 Speaker 4: me as a fan, and I'm sure for others to 405 00:22:39,667 --> 00:22:43,067 Speaker 4: see that happening. We had real momentum and we lost it. 406 00:22:45,107 --> 00:22:48,667 Speaker 3: Thanks Peta. Sounds like the walks been invigorating for you. 407 00:22:48,867 --> 00:22:51,947 Speaker 3: I hope it continues to be. Boden Barrett will be 408 00:22:52,027 --> 00:22:55,587 Speaker 3: the first to self examine his performance. He is that 409 00:22:55,747 --> 00:22:59,507 Speaker 3: kind of guy. He will be very, very disappointed with 410 00:22:59,547 --> 00:23:05,387 Speaker 3: the way he played. Cam Roygat also missed a kick 411 00:23:05,427 --> 00:23:09,387 Speaker 3: to touch. We found out afterwards Boat and Barratt's carrying 412 00:23:09,387 --> 00:23:13,787 Speaker 3: a quad injury. I know that's you know by the 413 00:23:13,827 --> 00:23:18,147 Speaker 3: bye as far as some of his decision making and 414 00:23:18,227 --> 00:23:20,747 Speaker 3: kicking today is concerned, but I guess we have to 415 00:23:20,787 --> 00:23:25,027 Speaker 3: factor that in. It feels as though Scott Robertson has 416 00:23:25,107 --> 00:23:31,827 Speaker 3: chips in on Richie Mwonga and is probably hoping with 417 00:23:31,987 --> 00:23:34,707 Speaker 3: everything he has that Richie Mulwonga will come in and 418 00:23:34,787 --> 00:23:41,427 Speaker 3: will steady this ship. But there's absolutely no guarantee that 419 00:23:41,427 --> 00:23:46,347 Speaker 3: that will happen. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty twelve thirty, 420 00:23:46,427 --> 00:23:48,067 Speaker 3: Mark Holdal, I've got a spear line there, which is 421 00:23:48,147 --> 00:23:49,947 Speaker 3: unusual on daylight. This if you want to pick it up, 422 00:23:49,947 --> 00:23:51,747 Speaker 3: I eight hundred and eighty ten eighty back with more 423 00:23:51,747 --> 00:23:53,867 Speaker 3: of your calls and feedback after this one. 424 00:23:54,067 --> 00:23:59,307 Speaker 1: Crunch hold Engage Weekends for US with Jason Fame and GJ. 425 00:23:59,507 --> 00:24:03,107 Speaker 1: Gugger Homes, New Zealand's US trusted home builder News talks. 426 00:24:02,907 --> 00:24:07,627 Speaker 5: To Bailey your black centimeters away? Fine, are looking burrows over? 427 00:24:08,267 --> 00:24:09,707 Speaker 5: You won't get that first. 428 00:24:09,947 --> 00:24:11,787 Speaker 3: It was going okay for a while. 429 00:24:11,827 --> 00:24:16,507 Speaker 9: Hello, Mike, Hey, Finny. Yeah, the elephant in the room 430 00:24:16,627 --> 00:24:18,147 Speaker 9: is that yellow cad. I think it had a big 431 00:24:18,267 --> 00:24:20,787 Speaker 9: sway on the game. I think, yeah, it was probably 432 00:24:20,827 --> 00:24:22,787 Speaker 9: one of the worst yellow cards I've ever seen, and 433 00:24:22,827 --> 00:24:25,867 Speaker 9: it's just an indication that yellow and red cards are 434 00:24:26,227 --> 00:24:29,307 Speaker 9: ruining in international rugby. Really, I mean, it was just pathetic. 435 00:24:29,307 --> 00:24:30,787 Speaker 9: If you're going to give a yellow card like that, 436 00:24:31,267 --> 00:24:33,947 Speaker 9: you could just about seen every player off with every penalty, 437 00:24:34,067 --> 00:24:38,027 Speaker 9: every single bleoming game. It was just absolutely ridiculous and 438 00:24:38,267 --> 00:24:41,667 Speaker 9: I just fully didn't understand it, and we'll understand it 439 00:24:41,667 --> 00:24:45,147 Speaker 9: to the day I die. It's it's just adiotic. But 440 00:24:45,707 --> 00:24:48,067 Speaker 9: the All Black season is sort of winding up. I 441 00:24:48,067 --> 00:24:52,267 Speaker 9: guess we hopefully will beat Wales, but yeah, I just 442 00:24:52,507 --> 00:24:54,587 Speaker 9: it took me back to sort of six years ago 443 00:24:54,667 --> 00:24:58,387 Speaker 9: the game where you know they have this rush defense, 444 00:24:58,667 --> 00:25:00,747 Speaker 9: we know what they're going to do, They're going to 445 00:25:00,787 --> 00:25:03,467 Speaker 9: do that every time, and we just haven't in six years. 446 00:25:03,787 --> 00:25:06,467 Speaker 9: We don't seem to have come anywhere from it. In 447 00:25:06,547 --> 00:25:11,387 Speaker 9: the kicking, we're one of the worst top kicking teams 448 00:25:11,427 --> 00:25:14,587 Speaker 9: in the world. You've got to hand it to England 449 00:25:14,627 --> 00:25:17,947 Speaker 9: and Ireland. I remember when Ireland came here, just watching 450 00:25:17,987 --> 00:25:20,587 Speaker 9: their kicking was almost quite a treat because it was 451 00:25:20,747 --> 00:25:25,387 Speaker 9: just purposeful and completely accurate. Every time. We don't seem 452 00:25:25,427 --> 00:25:27,227 Speaker 9: to have that in our play. A lot of the 453 00:25:27,387 --> 00:25:29,747 Speaker 9: kicks we put up aren't even contested half the time, 454 00:25:29,787 --> 00:25:32,507 Speaker 9: they go straight to the other scene, whereas when England 455 00:25:32,507 --> 00:25:35,947 Speaker 9: were kicking, every single one of those kicks were contested 456 00:25:35,987 --> 00:25:36,987 Speaker 9: and oftentimes won. 457 00:25:39,147 --> 00:25:42,627 Speaker 3: Just on the kicking I think you and I have 458 00:25:42,667 --> 00:25:44,467 Speaker 3: talked about this quite a bit, Mark, just. 459 00:25:47,147 --> 00:25:47,347 Speaker 15: Yep. 460 00:25:48,627 --> 00:25:50,307 Speaker 3: I was watching it this morning and every time we 461 00:25:50,347 --> 00:25:51,827 Speaker 3: put a kick up, I thought, to our stuff, I 462 00:25:51,827 --> 00:25:56,307 Speaker 3: wonder if we'll contest, and more often than not it 463 00:25:56,387 --> 00:25:59,587 Speaker 3: was too far ahead to contest. But with every England kick, 464 00:25:59,867 --> 00:26:04,227 Speaker 3: it's clearly a tactic and it's clearly technically been worked on. 465 00:26:05,027 --> 00:26:09,347 Speaker 3: Every kick is content And look, you don't blame them, 466 00:26:09,387 --> 00:26:12,067 Speaker 3: do you, because it is a vulnerability of ours at 467 00:26:12,107 --> 00:26:16,027 Speaker 3: the moment, but just a pure technique of the kick 468 00:26:16,467 --> 00:26:17,627 Speaker 3: and the chase. 469 00:26:19,507 --> 00:26:19,787 Speaker 15: I saw. 470 00:26:19,827 --> 00:26:22,427 Speaker 3: I'm bother bewildered by at all, Mike, as you could 471 00:26:22,427 --> 00:26:23,227 Speaker 3: probably hear. 472 00:26:24,147 --> 00:26:26,707 Speaker 9: It doesn't seem to be a complicated process to put 473 00:26:26,707 --> 00:26:28,947 Speaker 9: a kick up and then continue people to catch it. 474 00:26:28,987 --> 00:26:31,627 Speaker 9: But you know, I mean Will Jordan's a tall player. 475 00:26:31,667 --> 00:26:34,267 Speaker 9: I mean Cadi of Clark's, you know, pretty tall. I 476 00:26:34,307 --> 00:26:37,387 Speaker 9: mean to me, they say it to work on, but 477 00:26:37,787 --> 00:26:39,987 Speaker 9: you know, they've got a whole week, they got forty 478 00:26:40,027 --> 00:26:42,147 Speaker 9: or fifty hours in a week to sort of practice it. 479 00:26:42,147 --> 00:26:43,947 Speaker 9: But it doesn't seem to improve the hell of them. 480 00:26:44,547 --> 00:26:47,107 Speaker 9: But yeah, again, just going back to that, I thought 481 00:26:47,227 --> 00:26:50,267 Speaker 9: against the French there and at some part they really 482 00:26:50,627 --> 00:26:53,427 Speaker 9: almost it was almost like ten minutes and they really 483 00:26:53,547 --> 00:26:57,227 Speaker 9: changed the way they punched through the forward pack and 484 00:26:57,307 --> 00:27:00,027 Speaker 9: it was really quite good to see because it was 485 00:27:00,067 --> 00:27:03,267 Speaker 9: something different I saw in this All Black side and 486 00:27:03,347 --> 00:27:05,867 Speaker 9: it was something that you need to change because it 487 00:27:06,067 --> 00:27:08,187 Speaker 9: is you said, I don't Richie Muwanga is going to 488 00:27:08,227 --> 00:27:08,707 Speaker 9: come back. 489 00:27:09,187 --> 00:27:10,187 Speaker 16: He's not going to be able to. 490 00:27:10,147 --> 00:27:13,187 Speaker 9: Penetrate that that white line of England jerseys when they 491 00:27:13,267 --> 00:27:15,907 Speaker 9: rush defense and we don't seem to have any plan 492 00:27:16,067 --> 00:27:18,587 Speaker 9: to be able to do that. And to me, it's 493 00:27:18,987 --> 00:27:23,947 Speaker 9: it's just a lack of a lack of imagination and 494 00:27:24,067 --> 00:27:27,187 Speaker 9: vision within the All Black coaching that they have these 495 00:27:27,187 --> 00:27:30,947 Speaker 9: set plans. A goalie touched on it this morning. He said, 496 00:27:30,987 --> 00:27:33,627 Speaker 9: you know, we used to play play play what was 497 00:27:33,667 --> 00:27:35,867 Speaker 9: in front of us, but we sort of play these structures. 498 00:27:35,867 --> 00:27:37,947 Speaker 9: And I think that's maybe the criticism I have of 499 00:27:38,987 --> 00:27:43,027 Speaker 9: Robinson that that he's got these structures and it works 500 00:27:43,027 --> 00:27:46,187 Speaker 9: for Canterbury, but maybe it doesn't work at international level 501 00:27:46,187 --> 00:27:48,867 Speaker 9: where you just keep doing the same thing over and 502 00:27:48,947 --> 00:27:51,187 Speaker 9: over again, you know what I mean, There needs to 503 00:27:51,227 --> 00:27:54,187 Speaker 9: be another plan. There needs to be another plan when 504 00:27:54,227 --> 00:27:56,547 Speaker 9: that's not working. Like if you if you've got these 505 00:27:56,587 --> 00:27:59,227 Speaker 9: back line moves where you try and get the ball 506 00:27:59,267 --> 00:28:02,467 Speaker 9: out past their rush defense, and it works on occasion, 507 00:28:02,747 --> 00:28:04,907 Speaker 9: but if you keep doing that over and over again, 508 00:28:05,067 --> 00:28:08,467 Speaker 9: and you saw it points during the game where they 509 00:28:08,467 --> 00:28:10,947 Speaker 9: were rushing passes, the ball went to no one because 510 00:28:10,947 --> 00:28:12,547 Speaker 9: they were up in our face and we didn't know 511 00:28:12,587 --> 00:28:15,667 Speaker 9: what to do. And yeah, to me, it's just a 512 00:28:15,747 --> 00:28:17,387 Speaker 9: lack of imagination, really. 513 00:28:19,187 --> 00:28:21,707 Speaker 3: Yeah no, But it used to be a hallmark of 514 00:28:21,787 --> 00:28:25,347 Speaker 3: our smart I remember watching the and I don't want 515 00:28:25,387 --> 00:28:27,907 Speaker 3: to get misty eyed here because there's no real point 516 00:28:27,947 --> 00:28:31,307 Speaker 3: in it, but all Black sides used to be world 517 00:28:31,427 --> 00:28:36,667 Speaker 3: leaders in attacking creativity, you know, back line moves with 518 00:28:36,787 --> 00:28:41,267 Speaker 3: a bit of misdirection, quick hands, slick skills, you know, 519 00:28:41,507 --> 00:28:46,227 Speaker 3: unpredictability and players who you know could also add a 520 00:28:46,307 --> 00:28:51,347 Speaker 3: dash of individual brilliance. But it was more back line cohesion, 521 00:28:51,707 --> 00:28:54,587 Speaker 3: and it just doesn't seem to be there anymore. Look, 522 00:28:54,587 --> 00:28:57,947 Speaker 3: I know they're making a change, or there's there's going 523 00:28:57,987 --> 00:28:59,547 Speaker 3: to be a change. I think Jason Holland is in 524 00:28:59,667 --> 00:29:02,867 Speaker 3: charge of attack. He is obviously finishing up at the 525 00:29:02,947 --> 00:29:04,787 Speaker 3: end of the year, as we know. 526 00:29:08,027 --> 00:29:12,227 Speaker 9: I don't think the backline, to me, is still world 527 00:29:12,227 --> 00:29:14,707 Speaker 9: class well, I think it is. I mean, like the 528 00:29:14,707 --> 00:29:17,507 Speaker 9: injuries we've had. I mean, you've taken Jordie away, you know, 529 00:29:18,067 --> 00:29:20,667 Speaker 9: you know you can see when cam Roy goes out, 530 00:29:20,747 --> 00:29:24,107 Speaker 9: there's certainly a drop and the quality of the person 531 00:29:24,147 --> 00:29:27,227 Speaker 9: that comes and behind them. I mean I think probably 532 00:29:27,267 --> 00:29:29,467 Speaker 9: having Richie Muwanga back, if he could come back and 533 00:29:29,587 --> 00:29:31,947 Speaker 9: recapture some of that form that he has, I mean, 534 00:29:31,987 --> 00:29:34,387 Speaker 9: he is to me, he probably is a better kicker 535 00:29:35,187 --> 00:29:38,467 Speaker 9: than Jeordie was. You know when we last saw Richie Muwanga. 536 00:29:39,107 --> 00:29:42,067 Speaker 9: His kicking is technical kicking. I think was better than 537 00:29:42,667 --> 00:29:45,147 Speaker 9: Boone and Barratt. But I'm not a Bode and Barrett 538 00:29:46,187 --> 00:29:49,347 Speaker 9: Basher at all. He's a fantastic player and servant and 539 00:29:49,387 --> 00:29:51,467 Speaker 9: he's probably going to be by this time he's finished 540 00:29:51,507 --> 00:29:54,187 Speaker 9: the most captial Black of all time. So yeah, i'd 541 00:29:54,227 --> 00:29:56,907 Speaker 9: never fashion I think he plays well ninety percent at 542 00:29:56,907 --> 00:29:59,587 Speaker 9: the time. But I mean every players has a bad game. 543 00:30:00,867 --> 00:30:02,627 Speaker 3: Good on you, Mark, always good chatting mate. Thanks for 544 00:30:02,667 --> 00:30:06,347 Speaker 3: taking the time to call in twenty one to one less. 545 00:30:06,427 --> 00:30:10,067 Speaker 3: Keep going, John, Hello, how's it go? 546 00:30:10,067 --> 00:30:10,227 Speaker 8: Good? 547 00:30:10,307 --> 00:30:10,547 Speaker 3: John? 548 00:30:11,827 --> 00:30:12,067 Speaker 7: Good? 549 00:30:12,427 --> 00:30:15,507 Speaker 8: I just I just I just think we're this whole 550 00:30:15,547 --> 00:30:18,947 Speaker 8: tour we've just lacked match sharpness. 551 00:30:19,027 --> 00:30:19,867 Speaker 4: We don't look foot. 552 00:30:20,747 --> 00:30:22,507 Speaker 8: I don't know how many times I watched the game 553 00:30:22,547 --> 00:30:26,627 Speaker 8: and our forwards look last off the ground. These high kicks, 554 00:30:26,627 --> 00:30:28,547 Speaker 8: we never seem to get the rubber of the green 555 00:30:28,547 --> 00:30:31,387 Speaker 8: because we're just too far away. We just look we 556 00:30:31,467 --> 00:30:33,987 Speaker 8: just don't look foot, if you're my opinion, we don't 557 00:30:33,987 --> 00:30:36,307 Speaker 8: look sharp like the Richie McCoury because we're not foot. 558 00:30:38,267 --> 00:30:41,347 Speaker 3: I think John, I think it might be fatigue, which 559 00:30:41,387 --> 00:30:43,747 Speaker 3: is an odd thing to say, but a lot of 560 00:30:43,747 --> 00:30:48,627 Speaker 3: those a couple of those guys look out against to me, yeah. 561 00:30:48,467 --> 00:30:50,787 Speaker 8: Well you know, I mean I've watched a lot of 562 00:30:50,827 --> 00:30:53,787 Speaker 8: the NPC and and you watch Josh Lord, he's been 563 00:30:53,827 --> 00:30:55,547 Speaker 8: the best forward on tour because he played in the 564 00:30:55,627 --> 00:30:59,267 Speaker 8: n PC. Foot he's mets foot, ready to go. You know, 565 00:30:59,387 --> 00:31:05,027 Speaker 8: we speak, we speak, yeah after almost what we've played 566 00:31:05,067 --> 00:31:08,987 Speaker 8: against five minutes against Ireland and he hasn't played since 567 00:31:08,987 --> 00:31:12,707 Speaker 8: the Rugby Championship. I meant, you can't be match sharp, 568 00:31:13,947 --> 00:31:16,987 Speaker 8: you know. So we just we just got we just 569 00:31:17,027 --> 00:31:19,587 Speaker 8: got to realize that maybe sometimes you look at if 570 00:31:19,627 --> 00:31:21,347 Speaker 8: you look at the New Zealand fifteen, he's doing the 571 00:31:21,427 --> 00:31:24,107 Speaker 8: right you know what I mean, And they match foot 572 00:31:24,107 --> 00:31:26,907 Speaker 8: because they come out of the n PC, we just 573 00:31:27,107 --> 00:31:30,987 Speaker 8: we're just we're just not fit. I just don't help people. Yeah, 574 00:31:30,987 --> 00:31:33,267 Speaker 8: you make silly mistake when you're not foot Barretts making 575 00:31:33,307 --> 00:31:36,267 Speaker 8: them the line that's not going well under fatigue, underprecire. 576 00:31:36,307 --> 00:31:38,547 Speaker 8: We've lined on our fitness. We don't have that anymore, 577 00:31:39,387 --> 00:31:39,587 Speaker 8: you know. 578 00:31:39,827 --> 00:31:40,747 Speaker 4: And not that you mean some. 579 00:31:40,707 --> 00:31:42,467 Speaker 8: Of our tight forwards they don't even look for in 580 00:31:42,507 --> 00:31:44,627 Speaker 8: the NPC when they played, and they still maybe all black. 581 00:31:44,707 --> 00:31:47,667 Speaker 8: So I meant the sharpness of the game comes back 582 00:31:47,707 --> 00:31:48,587 Speaker 8: to fitness. 583 00:31:48,187 --> 00:31:48,947 Speaker 4: For our team. 584 00:31:49,507 --> 00:31:55,587 Speaker 8: And as I watched the documentary on from Burger the 585 00:31:55,587 --> 00:32:00,587 Speaker 8: s Arican lock forward to Burger, he said, and he 586 00:32:00,627 --> 00:32:03,867 Speaker 8: said in the Sican documentary the other day our podcast, 587 00:32:03,947 --> 00:32:06,747 Speaker 8: he said, he's in game ten as good if you're 588 00:32:06,787 --> 00:32:09,467 Speaker 8: super fit, but it's not waterproof. Ut least you're super 589 00:32:09,467 --> 00:32:15,427 Speaker 8: fit and we're not super fitch get the moment. So yeah, 590 00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:17,427 Speaker 8: we last off the ground. You know, I watched that 591 00:32:17,507 --> 00:32:20,147 Speaker 8: game that England's on our line and our captain was 592 00:32:20,187 --> 00:32:22,667 Speaker 8: like last off the ground by heats and then he 593 00:32:22,747 --> 00:32:24,547 Speaker 8: stort of just stood behind someone else in the roll 594 00:32:24,587 --> 00:32:27,467 Speaker 8: defenctive on. So you know, I mean us that play 595 00:32:27,587 --> 00:32:30,267 Speaker 8: rugby just can see it. You know, we're just not 596 00:32:30,707 --> 00:32:34,507 Speaker 8: shovel enough. And and I just think it's because they're 597 00:32:34,547 --> 00:32:37,987 Speaker 8: not playing n PC. I really do this fatigue, but 598 00:32:38,027 --> 00:32:39,747 Speaker 8: they've had you can say fatigue, but they had a 599 00:32:39,747 --> 00:32:40,227 Speaker 8: month off. 600 00:32:40,587 --> 00:32:44,627 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I guess that's nice thing, fatigue, John. And 601 00:32:44,627 --> 00:32:46,347 Speaker 3: you know, it's such an interesting point you make. I 602 00:32:46,387 --> 00:32:49,507 Speaker 3: say fatigue because that's what it looks like. But as 603 00:32:49,547 --> 00:32:52,547 Speaker 3: you say, they've actually played less rugby than some of 604 00:32:52,547 --> 00:32:54,867 Speaker 3: the other blocks are out there who look so you're right, 605 00:32:54,867 --> 00:32:58,547 Speaker 3: it's that it's that match fitness that, you know, compared 606 00:32:58,587 --> 00:33:00,947 Speaker 3: to a bit of sluggishness when you haven't had a game. 607 00:33:00,947 --> 00:33:03,067 Speaker 3: From the problem I strike because they'll bring some guys 608 00:33:03,067 --> 00:33:05,387 Speaker 3: in next week. I guess. A good example Ruben Love 609 00:33:05,427 --> 00:33:07,467 Speaker 3: hasn't hasn't had a game a rugby for a while. 610 00:33:07,547 --> 00:33:09,907 Speaker 3: I mean he dropped into the dropped into the into 611 00:33:09,907 --> 00:33:11,827 Speaker 3: the All blacksmithteen and I'm sure he was rapped to 612 00:33:11,827 --> 00:33:14,027 Speaker 3: do it. You know, you want him to come in 613 00:33:14,067 --> 00:33:16,027 Speaker 3: and make a difference next week, and he's a he's 614 00:33:16,067 --> 00:33:18,307 Speaker 3: a young foot guy who may well do that. But 615 00:33:18,987 --> 00:33:22,827 Speaker 3: it's that balance between between having opportunity playing rugby but 616 00:33:22,867 --> 00:33:27,787 Speaker 3: also this whole sports science around refreshing and recovering and 617 00:33:27,787 --> 00:33:30,027 Speaker 3: all that sort of thing. So it's such an interesting 618 00:33:30,067 --> 00:33:30,547 Speaker 3: point you make. 619 00:33:31,627 --> 00:33:33,827 Speaker 8: Well, the other position we're going on about a center, 620 00:33:33,867 --> 00:33:38,747 Speaker 8: but the center from Kennery Company is Brad Yep. He's 621 00:33:39,147 --> 00:33:42,067 Speaker 8: he was awesome in the NPC. He's fit, he's match foot, 622 00:33:42,147 --> 00:33:43,827 Speaker 8: he shar't ready to go, but he won't get in 623 00:33:43,907 --> 00:33:46,827 Speaker 8: because you know, I mean, it's like we're sticking with 624 00:33:46,867 --> 00:33:49,507 Speaker 8: these guys without creating any contests. The contest is coming 625 00:33:49,867 --> 00:33:55,867 Speaker 8: the first five for Icago for Taraniki Lord what's his name, 626 00:33:55,947 --> 00:34:00,787 Speaker 8: Josh jac Jacobs. I mean, the metch fit. They're playing well. 627 00:34:02,667 --> 00:34:05,627 Speaker 8: Put pressure on these other guys. Somehow you can get 628 00:34:05,707 --> 00:34:08,267 Speaker 8: through it. The other Icigo Open soft Flinger. He's doing 629 00:34:08,307 --> 00:34:11,067 Speaker 8: the right and the players are there and they're playing 630 00:34:11,147 --> 00:34:13,547 Speaker 8: rugby and they fit. They need to be putting pressure 631 00:34:13,587 --> 00:34:15,827 Speaker 8: on these guys. But at the moment it feels a 632 00:34:15,827 --> 00:34:17,707 Speaker 8: bit no. This may sound real mean, but it feels 633 00:34:17,707 --> 00:34:20,547 Speaker 8: like a big boys club. Everyone's scratching everyone else's back. 634 00:34:22,067 --> 00:34:24,867 Speaker 3: Good analysis from you, John, Thank you for calling in mate. 635 00:34:24,867 --> 00:34:28,387 Speaker 3: I appreciate your time very much.

How do I get That hour 650 00:35:02,027 --> 00:35:05,747 Speaker 18: and twenty minutes that I lost back into my life? 651 00:35:06,467 --> 00:35:08,707 Speaker 18: Was an absolutely shock of mate, you know I got. 652 00:35:08,787 --> 00:35:11,667 Speaker 18: I got so excited, you know, three thirty builder, you know, 653 00:35:11,867 --> 00:35:13,507 Speaker 18: and then what's the kickoff and things like that. We 654 00:35:13,547 --> 00:35:15,987 Speaker 18: had an amazing start, momentum was on outside and then 655 00:35:16,747 --> 00:35:18,427 Speaker 18: I think there's two job goals that they got just 656 00:35:18,467 --> 00:35:21,627 Speaker 18: before the half definitely swung the momentum over to England. 657 00:35:22,467 --> 00:35:27,467 Speaker 18: I honestly felt there was no cohesiveness. We had no 658 00:35:27,667 --> 00:35:30,747 Speaker 18: counter for the pressure defense or the rush defense that 659 00:35:30,867 --> 00:35:35,227 Speaker 18: they put on us. I just felt like, yeah, like 660 00:35:35,267 --> 00:35:37,907 Speaker 18: you mentioned, it was just a bunch of individuals. They 661 00:35:37,947 --> 00:35:40,587 Speaker 18: were just hoping someone would would would flip the coin 662 00:35:40,627 --> 00:35:44,227 Speaker 18: and and and and you know, make something out of nothing. 663 00:35:44,907 --> 00:35:48,787 Speaker 18: I had no, absolutely zero confidence in our ball security. 664 00:35:49,187 --> 00:35:51,747 Speaker 18: I just felt like, Okay, they're going to drop it somewhere. 665 00:35:51,787 --> 00:35:53,827 Speaker 18: They're going to lose the ball somewhere because of the 666 00:35:53,827 --> 00:35:56,187 Speaker 18: way they played. I just I just felt like this 667 00:35:56,307 --> 00:35:58,747 Speaker 18: wasn't an All Black team. They had pried in that 668 00:35:59,027 --> 00:36:03,667 Speaker 18: jersey I have. You know, I used to be a 669 00:36:04,267 --> 00:36:07,307 Speaker 18: I used to be an anti sort of Foster and 670 00:36:07,347 --> 00:36:09,787 Speaker 18: the way he was criticized in things like that. But look, 671 00:36:10,027 --> 00:36:12,627 Speaker 18: that's the difference between this current coach now. Because it 672 00:36:12,827 --> 00:36:15,227 Speaker 18: was tou Foster, the dagger would have been already in 673 00:36:15,307 --> 00:36:17,467 Speaker 18: and he would have been gone. So I don't know, 674 00:36:17,587 --> 00:36:19,427 Speaker 18: I don't know. I just felt I just feel like 675 00:36:19,587 --> 00:36:22,267 Speaker 18: Scott Robinson doesn't have a clue in terms of what's 676 00:36:22,267 --> 00:36:25,707 Speaker 18: going on in terms of the team structure. Ah, Mate, 677 00:36:26,307 --> 00:36:28,067 Speaker 18: I just can't believe I'm watching the All Blacks. Mate. 678 00:36:28,067 --> 00:36:32,067 Speaker 18: I've seen better back line play angle, you know, angle 679 00:36:32,147 --> 00:36:34,667 Speaker 18: running from the backs ex churcher in club rugby. I 680 00:36:34,747 --> 00:36:36,467 Speaker 18: just felt like, mate, this is the pinnacle of our 681 00:36:36,587 --> 00:36:39,227 Speaker 18: sport and the way they're playing. It's just this is 682 00:36:39,227 --> 00:36:42,587 Speaker 18: a shocker. Yeah, soo many loose sportes, too many turnovers 683 00:36:43,427 --> 00:36:46,827 Speaker 18: and just just just the just just their parade and 684 00:36:46,827 --> 00:36:48,867 Speaker 18: their jersey. Just saw the heads drop just you know 685 00:36:48,907 --> 00:36:51,307 Speaker 18: when they when they when they hit the lead. Give 686 00:36:51,387 --> 00:36:54,427 Speaker 18: us no indication that you know, the or Blacks were 687 00:36:54,427 --> 00:36:56,867 Speaker 18: going to come back from this. I just I don't know. 688 00:36:56,947 --> 00:36:58,747 Speaker 18: I just felt so Tit and the Kenzie could have gone, 689 00:36:58,827 --> 00:37:01,347 Speaker 18: could have started their second half coming on in what 690 00:37:01,547 --> 00:37:04,227 Speaker 18: twenty twenty twenty minutes to go and expect them to 691 00:37:04,227 --> 00:37:07,627 Speaker 18: perform miracles. Mate, know, that's a shock. So that's why 692 00:37:07,667 --> 00:37:10,667 Speaker 18: I stand. I just felt it was very, very disappointing. 693 00:37:11,147 --> 00:37:14,427 Speaker 18: And look, it wasn't like a six point seven point loss. 694 00:37:14,547 --> 00:37:17,027 Speaker 18: It was an absolute, you know, a fourteen fifteen point 695 00:37:18,027 --> 00:37:21,467 Speaker 18: and that's that's unlikely. That looks like watching Uruguay loose 696 00:37:21,467 --> 00:37:23,787 Speaker 18: to English. 697 00:37:23,867 --> 00:37:27,747 Speaker 3: Good good summary, Very good summary, Ricardo. The thing that 698 00:37:27,787 --> 00:37:29,987 Speaker 3: resonates most of me on what you said, just flick 699 00:37:29,987 --> 00:37:31,587 Speaker 3: that radio down in the background they mate so we 700 00:37:31,627 --> 00:37:35,187 Speaker 3: can have a decent conversation is yeah, must better. The 701 00:37:35,227 --> 00:37:36,987 Speaker 3: thing that resonated with what you said there was the 702 00:37:37,307 --> 00:37:39,107 Speaker 3: attack bit, and I've picked up on it before, and 703 00:37:39,147 --> 00:37:41,907 Speaker 3: it just you're right, it doesn't feel as though there's 704 00:37:42,027 --> 00:37:45,387 Speaker 3: cohesion when we have ball in hand. It's just a 705 00:37:45,427 --> 00:37:48,307 Speaker 3: series of one off runners trying to get past a 706 00:37:48,347 --> 00:37:50,867 Speaker 3: defense that knows that they get up quickly. In our faces. 707 00:37:51,267 --> 00:37:54,707 Speaker 3: There's very little to worry about because we don't you know, 708 00:37:54,827 --> 00:37:57,307 Speaker 3: it looks like we've got guys running from deep. But 709 00:37:59,147 --> 00:38:01,627 Speaker 3: all Black sides of the past used to used to 710 00:38:02,267 --> 00:38:06,747 Speaker 3: be creative and and you know, unpredict the ball in 711 00:38:06,787 --> 00:38:09,267 Speaker 3: the way that we set up our back line moves 712 00:38:09,347 --> 00:38:11,347 Speaker 3: that seems to have vanished. 713 00:38:13,747 --> 00:38:16,107 Speaker 18: And you look, we used to be. We used to be. 714 00:38:16,227 --> 00:38:18,107 Speaker 18: You know, we used to set the standard, you know, 715 00:38:18,147 --> 00:38:20,347 Speaker 18: in terms of how we used to run the back 716 00:38:20,347 --> 00:38:22,547 Speaker 18: line and the plays and the angles that the wingers 717 00:38:22,627 --> 00:38:24,827 Speaker 18: used to come through. We used to run deep. You 718 00:38:24,907 --> 00:38:26,747 Speaker 18: know a lot of our plays were running deep. But 719 00:38:26,827 --> 00:38:29,707 Speaker 18: now we just flat footed. It's just so obvious. You're 720 00:38:29,747 --> 00:38:32,627 Speaker 18: just watching them. It's just going sideways. No one straightening 721 00:38:32,707 --> 00:38:34,427 Speaker 18: up the back line. You know, we need it. 722 00:38:34,547 --> 00:38:35,027 Speaker 4: We need a. 723 00:38:35,027 --> 00:38:38,347 Speaker 18: Strong, robust, sick and five that can really straighten that 724 00:38:38,427 --> 00:38:40,907 Speaker 18: back line, like the namies of this sort of world 725 00:38:41,067 --> 00:38:44,427 Speaker 18: that we're sort of missing. The Craig Innoces. You know, 726 00:38:44,467 --> 00:38:47,507 Speaker 18: this is going back a while, and then I don't know, 727 00:38:47,547 --> 00:38:49,587 Speaker 18: it just felt like it was just passing sideways and 728 00:38:49,707 --> 00:38:52,827 Speaker 18: there was just no one taking ownership in the back line. 729 00:38:52,907 --> 00:38:54,907 Speaker 18: And I've got to admit, now, there's a few you know, 730 00:38:55,427 --> 00:38:57,267 Speaker 18: leaders in there in the in the in that in 731 00:38:57,307 --> 00:38:59,867 Speaker 18: that forward pack, that that that sort of meant aol 732 00:38:59,907 --> 00:39:03,387 Speaker 18: as well. Yeah, so yeah, I don't know, to be honest, 733 00:39:03,387 --> 00:39:05,387 Speaker 18: I just felt like there was no there's no leadership, 734 00:39:05,467 --> 00:39:08,667 Speaker 18: leadership across you know, back back in the front. Yeah, 735 00:39:08,747 --> 00:39:10,987 Speaker 18: it was just I don't know, it was mate. It 736 00:39:11,027 --> 00:39:13,787 Speaker 18: was frustrating, you know, trust me, it was frustrating. 737 00:39:13,827 --> 00:39:15,867 Speaker 3: Oh look, I trust you. Can I believe you, Ricardo, 738 00:39:15,947 --> 00:39:18,667 Speaker 3: I can tell I can't tell my friend. I'm glad 739 00:39:18,707 --> 00:39:20,507 Speaker 3: I've given you the platform to get some of it 740 00:39:20,547 --> 00:39:22,627 Speaker 3: off your chest. Mate. I hope you can go about 741 00:39:22,667 --> 00:39:24,467 Speaker 3: your day now. Good to cheat, mate, thanks for calling. 742 00:39:24,467 --> 00:39:26,907 Speaker 3: In Hell, you'll have our lass say this our what's 743 00:39:26,907 --> 00:39:27,467 Speaker 3: on your mind? 744 00:39:28,707 --> 00:39:30,947 Speaker 19: Well, madam, I've got a lost of ten things, but 745 00:39:30,987 --> 00:39:33,467 Speaker 19: I can't go through ten, so I start from the 746 00:39:33,747 --> 00:39:36,987 Speaker 19: top one and that was the leadership role by Scott 747 00:39:37,027 --> 00:39:39,787 Speaker 19: Barrett and one of the one of the things that 748 00:39:39,827 --> 00:39:43,707 Speaker 19: your listeners will remember was Richard Headley and the cricket 749 00:39:43,747 --> 00:39:48,147 Speaker 19: team probably arguably the best all round her in the game. 750 00:39:49,107 --> 00:39:51,707 Speaker 19: Once he was made captain of the Nzenant crocket team 751 00:39:51,827 --> 00:39:54,067 Speaker 19: has gained completely fell to pieces. 752 00:39:54,467 --> 00:39:55,067 Speaker 4: Do you remember that? 753 00:39:55,627 --> 00:39:58,267 Speaker 3: I don't remember. I don't remember Sir Richard. Yeah, I 754 00:39:58,267 --> 00:40:01,587 Speaker 3: don't remember him ever being captain. I thought Jess Allens 755 00:40:01,667 --> 00:40:03,907 Speaker 3: was pretty much the captain Hill. It was obviously very 756 00:40:03,947 --> 00:40:06,907 Speaker 3: short lived out and probably right because you know, Sir 757 00:40:06,987 --> 00:40:10,107 Speaker 3: Richard Hadley, you know, just concentrate on being the best 758 00:40:10,107 --> 00:40:12,307 Speaker 3: bowler you possibly can be. Is that kind of what 759 00:40:12,347 --> 00:40:13,027 Speaker 3: you're alluding to. 760 00:40:14,147 --> 00:40:19,027 Speaker 19: That's exactly what I'm saying.

George Ford, who 835 00:44:02,187 --> 00:44:03,787 Speaker 20: had a few chances to win the game this time 836 00:44:03,867 --> 00:44:07,747 Speaker 20: last year, was fantastic. The bench didn't even have to 837 00:44:07,787 --> 00:44:10,547 Speaker 20: make the impact they were slated to because England had 838 00:44:10,547 --> 00:44:12,867 Speaker 20: that healthy lead. So big one for England this they 839 00:44:12,947 --> 00:44:16,067 Speaker 20: needed to take a major scalp and they've done it 840 00:44:16,147 --> 00:44:18,467 Speaker 20: and they roll on England. 841 00:44:18,467 --> 00:44:21,227 Speaker 3: Waite, as you say, from twelve nil down to twenty 842 00:44:21,307 --> 00:44:24,507 Speaker 3: five twelve a hid between minutes twenty five and fifty five. 843 00:44:24,787 --> 00:44:28,907 Speaker 3: What did you specifically see change in that period compared 844 00:44:28,947 --> 00:44:30,547 Speaker 3: to the first twenty five minutes of the match. 845 00:44:31,227 --> 00:44:34,467 Speaker 20: Yes, I think England actually did have a good first ten, 846 00:44:34,547 --> 00:44:37,347 Speaker 20: didn't they. They had that opportunity where Sam under Hill 847 00:44:37,347 --> 00:44:38,427 Speaker 20: couldn't quite get it away. 848 00:44:39,547 --> 00:44:41,867 Speaker 15: They'd a hold up over the line Alex Couls. 849 00:44:42,227 --> 00:44:45,227 Speaker 20: They were creating and looking pretty lively with the ball 850 00:44:45,267 --> 00:44:45,627 Speaker 20: in hand. 851 00:44:45,667 --> 00:44:47,107 Speaker 15: I think against it seemed. 852 00:44:46,747 --> 00:44:50,387 Speaker 20: Like New Zealand, even though you know you guys will 853 00:44:50,427 --> 00:44:52,387 Speaker 20: tell me about how frustrating it probably is following the 854 00:44:52,387 --> 00:44:54,507 Speaker 20: All Blacks at the moment, because it's kind of a 855 00:44:54,547 --> 00:44:56,427 Speaker 20: few steps forward and one step back, because every time 856 00:44:56,467 --> 00:44:58,827 Speaker 20: it looks like they're getting some rhythm. They put in 857 00:44:59,027 --> 00:45:02,267 Speaker 20: an inconsistent performance, but they're always going to have their patches. 858 00:45:02,307 --> 00:45:04,387 Speaker 20: And you know that ten minutes where they scored those 859 00:45:04,427 --> 00:45:07,107 Speaker 20: two tries, they did look like a all Black team 860 00:45:07,107 --> 00:45:09,587 Speaker 20: of old. But as we know from Chicago, as we 861 00:45:09,627 --> 00:45:12,467 Speaker 20: know from Edinburgh, as we know from Wellington against the Box, 862 00:45:12,987 --> 00:45:17,387 Speaker 20: as we know from Argentina, away, this all black team 863 00:45:17,387 --> 00:45:18,627 Speaker 20: of honorable and there could. 864 00:45:18,427 --> 00:45:20,707 Speaker 15: Be periods where you can get on top of them. 865 00:45:20,747 --> 00:45:22,987 Speaker 20: And I think England had that face that that would 866 00:45:22,987 --> 00:45:25,907 Speaker 20: come and just the way they were able to keep 867 00:45:25,947 --> 00:45:29,067 Speaker 20: their composure at twelve twelve neel down shows that the 868 00:45:29,107 --> 00:45:32,187 Speaker 20: side is really developing, not just sort of physically and tactically, 869 00:45:32,227 --> 00:45:35,787 Speaker 20: but mentally as well. And yeah, I think there's two 870 00:45:35,867 --> 00:45:39,427 Speaker 20: drop goals with George Ford, all of his experience come 871 00:45:39,427 --> 00:45:42,587 Speaker 20: into the foe there and they just managed to go 872 00:45:42,627 --> 00:45:44,347 Speaker 20: into halftime with some momentum. 873 00:45:44,747 --> 00:45:46,747 Speaker 15: And that've been really frustrating for Scott. 874 00:45:46,507 --> 00:45:49,587 Speaker 20: Robertson because a twelve mel it looked like the All 875 00:45:49,627 --> 00:45:52,867 Speaker 20: Blacks could have put the game away and ultimately that 876 00:45:52,907 --> 00:45:55,507 Speaker 20: in the end they were well beaten because England, if 877 00:45:55,547 --> 00:45:57,347 Speaker 20: you look at the game apart from that period what 878 00:45:57,467 --> 00:46:00,547 Speaker 20: ten ten to twenty five. The rest of it was 879 00:46:00,707 --> 00:46:03,307 Speaker 20: pretty much mainly dominated by England. 880 00:46:03,467 --> 00:46:06,107 Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely. You mentioned them there with his drop goals, 881 00:46:06,107 --> 00:46:10,027 Speaker 3: But how intigral was George Ford to this victory across 882 00:46:10,067 --> 00:46:11,107 Speaker 3: the entire matche. 883 00:46:11,747 --> 00:46:14,587 Speaker 20: Yeah, it's really interesting. We look up the makeup of 884 00:46:14,667 --> 00:46:17,107 Speaker 20: the England back line. There's a lot of good talented players, 885 00:46:17,107 --> 00:46:19,987 Speaker 20: but many favor Bosa has not gone many caps as 886 00:46:20,947 --> 00:46:24,587 Speaker 20: not as Tom Roebuck. Freddy Stewart's a bit more experienced, 887 00:46:24,587 --> 00:46:26,467 Speaker 20: as is Marcus Smith when he came on, but Fraser 888 00:46:26,507 --> 00:46:29,187 Speaker 20: Dinghals at the start of his international journey. 889 00:46:29,187 --> 00:46:30,387 Speaker 15: Only Lauren's been around for a bit. 890 00:46:30,427 --> 00:46:32,507 Speaker 20: But there aren't you know, there aren't Henry Slades and 891 00:46:32,547 --> 00:46:36,547 Speaker 20: Manitor Langey's and Owen Farrell's, Johnny May's and Nancy Watson's. 892 00:46:36,027 --> 00:46:38,787 Speaker 15: And players with fifty sixty seventy caps in there. 893 00:46:38,867 --> 00:46:43,387 Speaker 20: So having someone like Ford's who's able to just get 894 00:46:42,827 --> 00:46:46,187 Speaker 20: that that pulse of a game really well, you know, 895 00:46:46,307 --> 00:46:49,307 Speaker 20: he's He's done that his whole career. He's able to, 896 00:46:50,027 --> 00:46:52,427 Speaker 20: i think, manipulate the scoreboard more than ever. We saw 897 00:46:52,467 --> 00:46:54,547 Speaker 20: in Marseille at the World Cup a couple of years ago. 898 00:46:54,587 --> 00:46:57,627 Speaker 20: When England were under the pump against Argentina a man down, 899 00:46:57,667 --> 00:46:59,587 Speaker 20: his drop goals changed the whole course of the game. 900 00:46:59,627 --> 00:47:02,707 Speaker 20: And you know, I sit in commentary on BBC Radio 901 00:47:02,747 --> 00:47:05,587 Speaker 20: with guys like Paul Grayson and Matt Dawson who came 902 00:47:05,627 --> 00:47:07,387 Speaker 20: from an era of Blish rugby. But they used to 903 00:47:07,387 --> 00:47:09,787 Speaker 20: just kill teams with drop goals and they've gone out 904 00:47:09,827 --> 00:47:12,587 Speaker 20: the game so much then they come back at World Cups, 905 00:47:12,587 --> 00:47:14,587 Speaker 20: have a bit of researchers, then go out again and 906 00:47:14,627 --> 00:47:16,667 Speaker 20: teams always kick for the corner or they try and 907 00:47:16,747 --> 00:47:18,907 Speaker 20: go through the phases. But what a weapon it is 908 00:47:18,947 --> 00:47:22,827 Speaker 20: if you can just hit teams with threes when they 909 00:47:22,827 --> 00:47:24,947 Speaker 20: haven't done too much wrong. I think that's what will 910 00:47:26,307 --> 00:47:30,067 Speaker 20: or Scott Robertson might feel tonight. Is actually when twelve 911 00:47:30,107 --> 00:47:31,987 Speaker 20: mili up there, there wasn't a huge amount New Zealand 912 00:47:31,987 --> 00:47:34,707 Speaker 20: did wrong, but the way England were able to hit 913 00:47:34,747 --> 00:47:36,227 Speaker 20: them with those two blows to go in twelve to 914 00:47:36,227 --> 00:47:39,707 Speaker 20: eleven and then just just just dominate after halftime or 915 00:47:39,787 --> 00:47:40,907 Speaker 20: contributed to the English win. 916 00:47:41,427 --> 00:47:43,987 Speaker 3: Where do you think England are at two years out 917 00:47:43,987 --> 00:47:45,027 Speaker 3: from the next World Cup? 918 00:47:45,947 --> 00:47:46,867 Speaker 15: Good place for sure. 919 00:47:46,947 --> 00:47:48,907 Speaker 20: I mean I would say there are still areas they 920 00:47:48,907 --> 00:47:51,707 Speaker 20: can improve and that was Steve Worthwick's message tonight. 921 00:47:51,747 --> 00:47:53,827 Speaker 15: He was far from well. He was satisfied. 922 00:47:53,867 --> 00:47:56,027 Speaker 20: He was dead shaff, don't get me wrong, But he 923 00:47:56,067 --> 00:47:58,427 Speaker 20: wasn't saying we're the finished article. He knows that that 924 00:47:58,467 --> 00:48:01,587 Speaker 20: the England team is still a bit off. They they 925 00:48:01,627 --> 00:48:03,507 Speaker 20: got picked apart at line out time. There may be 926 00:48:04,187 --> 00:48:08,547 Speaker 20: a heavy duty ball carrier or two down, one or 927 00:48:08,587 --> 00:48:11,307 Speaker 20: two other areas where if you were being really ruthless, 928 00:48:11,347 --> 00:48:12,667 Speaker 20: you would say, oh, they could do with an extra 929 00:48:12,747 --> 00:48:16,107 Speaker 20: body there, or an extra a certain type of player here. 930 00:48:16,267 --> 00:48:19,547 Speaker 20: But on the whole, if you'd said to an England fan, 931 00:48:19,667 --> 00:48:23,467 Speaker 20: an England player, after what happened in Dublin, they were 932 00:48:23,587 --> 00:48:27,187 Speaker 20: they started the Six Nations, were really chasening defeat away 933 00:48:27,227 --> 00:48:30,627 Speaker 20: in Ireland second half, blown away and you thought, oh, 934 00:48:31,027 --> 00:48:34,547 Speaker 20: France next, Scotland next, Where do England go from here? 935 00:48:34,587 --> 00:48:37,227 Speaker 20: Well they've won the ten since then, which is massive 936 00:48:37,227 --> 00:48:39,827 Speaker 20: testaments to the group, massive testaments as Steve Borthwick and 937 00:48:39,907 --> 00:48:40,747 Speaker 20: his coaching team. 938 00:48:41,187 --> 00:48:43,187 Speaker 15: He's made a few changes to his backgroom. 939 00:48:43,227 --> 00:48:45,627 Speaker 20: I know that's a big thing in all Blacks the 940 00:48:45,667 --> 00:48:47,747 Speaker 20: moment because there's been a bit of a revolving door 941 00:48:47,787 --> 00:48:49,067 Speaker 20: around the Robinson regime. 942 00:48:49,227 --> 00:48:50,587 Speaker 15: It's been similar with Borthwick. 943 00:48:50,787 --> 00:48:54,347 Speaker 20: People have come, they've been coming and going, but he's 944 00:48:54,347 --> 00:48:56,587 Speaker 20: now got a pretty settle coaching team that looks in 945 00:48:56,667 --> 00:48:58,867 Speaker 20: for the long haul and I think you're seeing that 946 00:48:58,907 --> 00:49:00,627 Speaker 20: with with with England's play. 947 00:49:00,787 --> 00:49:02,227 Speaker 15: Look, there's still nowhere near the box. 948 00:49:02,267 --> 00:49:05,347 Speaker 20: I don't think many teams are England would be up 949 00:49:05,387 --> 00:49:08,347 Speaker 20: there as favorites the Six Nations, but no guarantee at all. 950 00:49:08,387 --> 00:49:10,387 Speaker 20: They've got to go to Paris, which is a really 951 00:49:10,387 --> 00:49:12,707 Speaker 20: tough place to go. So yeah, I don't think any 952 00:49:12,707 --> 00:49:15,147 Speaker 20: England fans leaving and thinking this is this is suddenly 953 00:49:15,347 --> 00:49:17,147 Speaker 20: you know, work up here, here we come. I think 954 00:49:17,147 --> 00:49:18,787 Speaker 20: there's still a bit of a way to go. But 955 00:49:19,147 --> 00:49:21,587 Speaker 20: for England to be ten wins in a row, given 956 00:49:21,627 --> 00:49:23,987 Speaker 20: where they've been over the last few years, a brilliant effort. 957 00:49:24,427 --> 00:49:26,587 Speaker 3: And for New Zealand. You were here last year at 958 00:49:26,587 --> 00:49:29,147 Speaker 3: the start of Scott Robertson tenure, you watch them again 959 00:49:29,187 --> 00:49:32,067 Speaker 3: at the end of last year again today. How do 960 00:49:32,107 --> 00:49:34,147 Speaker 3: you assist where the All Blacks are at the midway 961 00:49:34,147 --> 00:49:35,427 Speaker 3: point last World Cup cycle. 962 00:49:36,027 --> 00:49:38,907 Speaker 15: Yeah, it's hard that they're not in a place they'd 963 00:49:38,907 --> 00:49:41,347 Speaker 15: want to be weirdly. 964 00:49:41,387 --> 00:49:44,107 Speaker 20: I just I just still still not sure what type 965 00:49:44,147 --> 00:49:45,707 Speaker 20: of team they are. I think they play a load 966 00:49:45,747 --> 00:49:48,627 Speaker 20: of rugby and a weird part of the pitch. They 967 00:49:48,707 --> 00:49:50,827 Speaker 20: reminded me a bit of what the Wallabies were trying 968 00:49:50,827 --> 00:49:52,147 Speaker 20: to do a couple of years ago, a couple of 969 00:49:52,187 --> 00:49:54,867 Speaker 20: weeks ago at Twickenham, kind of feeding the English defense 970 00:49:54,907 --> 00:49:57,187 Speaker 20: by playing a lot of faced rugby around the halfway line. 971 00:49:57,387 --> 00:49:59,627 Speaker 15: They don't seem to have that real connection in their face. 972 00:49:59,667 --> 00:50:01,627 Speaker 20: Played the great All Blacks team out of the past, 973 00:50:01,627 --> 00:50:04,307 Speaker 20: where you'd have looked tip ons from Brodier metallic and 974 00:50:04,307 --> 00:50:07,787 Speaker 20: players really hitting the line at speed. There's an issue 975 00:50:07,787 --> 00:50:09,747 Speaker 20: at ten is that there Boden had an off day, 976 00:50:10,147 --> 00:50:11,867 Speaker 20: maybe more soon to fall back. 977 00:50:11,867 --> 00:50:13,427 Speaker 15: His line kicking was all over the place. 978 00:50:13,907 --> 00:50:16,667 Speaker 20: Damian McKenzie is a is a world beater, but how 979 00:50:16,707 --> 00:50:20,427 Speaker 20: does he how is he deployed? Are they just killing 980 00:50:20,427 --> 00:50:23,227 Speaker 20: time waiting for Richie Muwanga. You would really hope by 981 00:50:23,267 --> 00:50:25,587 Speaker 20: now there had been a younger ten coming through to 982 00:50:25,627 --> 00:50:28,147 Speaker 20: put pressure on Boden, to put pressure on McKenzie, to 983 00:50:28,187 --> 00:50:31,347 Speaker 20: put pressure on Wanger because Muwanga can't just go away 984 00:50:31,347 --> 00:50:32,827 Speaker 20: to Japan for a few years. And then just walk 985 00:50:32,867 --> 00:50:35,347 Speaker 20: back into the shirt. But that's what's looking quite likely. 986 00:50:35,827 --> 00:50:38,267 Speaker 20: So a confusing team because at times they play rugby 987 00:50:38,267 --> 00:50:42,227 Speaker 20: from the gods, but in tiny little patches. Yeah, and 988 00:50:42,267 --> 00:50:46,187 Speaker 20: on the whole it's hard to see major progression in 989 00:50:46,227 --> 00:50:49,467 Speaker 20: the in the sort of the twenty six test matches 990 00:50:49,827 --> 00:50:52,547 Speaker 20: Robertson's had. I think that it was a very good 991 00:50:52,587 --> 00:50:54,987 Speaker 20: series win against England in hindsight, given that had no 992 00:50:55,067 --> 00:50:57,747 Speaker 20: time together, but twenty six tests down the track, you 993 00:50:57,787 --> 00:51:00,627 Speaker 20: may have wanted a bit more development. But having said that, 994 00:51:00,667 --> 00:51:02,987 Speaker 20: this England team have only really started to hit their 995 00:51:02,987 --> 00:51:06,227 Speaker 20: straps under Steve Worswick about thirty thirty five. 996 00:51:06,507 --> 00:51:08,507 Speaker 15: Much matches into his regime. 997 00:51:08,587 --> 00:51:10,427 Speaker 20: So still a long way to go to the World 998 00:51:10,427 --> 00:51:13,907 Speaker 20: Cup twenty seven, and you still would never better against 999 00:51:13,947 --> 00:51:15,907 Speaker 20: New Zealand, being big consenters for that sornament. 1000 00:51:15,987 --> 00:51:18,387 Speaker 3: All right, we'll take some consolation from that great skitcher 1001 00:51:18,387 --> 00:51:20,787 Speaker 3: insite Chris, and joy the rest of your eving in 1002 00:51:20,827 --> 00:51:21,707 Speaker 3: Southwest London. 1003 00:51:21,707 --> 00:51:23,707 Speaker 15: Made good to see, good chat. 1004 00:51:23,547 --> 00:51:25,467 Speaker 3: Good on you mate, Thanks today Chris Jones, The wonderful 1005 00:51:25,547 --> 00:51:28,827 Speaker 3: Chris Jones joining us out of the BBC in London 1006 00:51:29,107 --> 00:51:32,907 Speaker 3: as he drifts away from Twickenham One p.

Here is your opportunity with 1027 00:52:27,707 --> 00:52:31,347 Speaker 3: a spare line there now. Will Jordan spoke to a 1028 00:52:31,387 --> 00:52:35,147 Speaker 3: couple of members of our end z Me team after 1029 00:52:35,187 --> 00:52:37,107 Speaker 3: the game. They asked him how he was feeling after 1030 00:52:37,147 --> 00:52:37,547 Speaker 3: the game. 1031 00:52:37,947 --> 00:52:40,987 Speaker 2: Yeah, disappointment came't of here with the cleague older time 1032 00:52:41,027 --> 00:52:44,467 Speaker 2: on a Grand Slam and gave ourselves a chance and 1033 00:52:44,827 --> 00:52:48,747 Speaker 2: just fell tonight. Felt we had chances to take control 1034 00:52:48,787 --> 00:52:51,827 Speaker 2: of that game and weren't quite able to. So speak 1035 00:52:51,827 --> 00:52:54,107 Speaker 2: to England for play one in front of their fans 1036 00:52:54,147 --> 00:52:55,347 Speaker 2: and yeah it's for us. 1037 00:52:55,467 --> 00:52:57,307 Speaker 21: A couple of moments and that first spell you mistouched 1038 00:52:57,347 --> 00:53:00,627 Speaker 21: from penalties, you know, little moments, but they stand out 1039 00:53:00,667 --> 00:53:01,547 Speaker 21: now is pretty big ones. 1040 00:53:02,227 --> 00:53:04,427 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean happens. I think my body had a 1041 00:53:04,467 --> 00:53:06,707 Speaker 2: bit of a bad cord, so he was battling through. 1042 00:53:06,787 --> 00:53:09,107 Speaker 2: So that's just where it goes sometimes. We certainly had 1043 00:53:09,107 --> 00:53:10,387 Speaker 2: a chance to give ourselves a bit of a lead 1044 00:53:10,387 --> 00:53:13,587 Speaker 2: in that first half, but despite the drop goals for 1045 00:53:13,587 --> 00:53:15,067 Speaker 2: a half time, we saw the lead tove living a 1046 00:53:15,107 --> 00:53:17,507 Speaker 2: half time and it was all there for us to take. 1047 00:53:17,627 --> 00:53:20,067 Speaker 2: So yeah, you lose momentum in games, and we did 1048 00:53:20,067 --> 00:53:21,307 Speaker 2: well to get it back at the inn. There but 1049 00:53:21,667 --> 00:53:25,267 Speaker 2: couldn't get a final. I just punched take us home nineteen. 1050 00:53:25,827 --> 00:53:28,507 Speaker 2: We're getting back into the game. Yeah, I felt, yeah, 1051 00:53:28,507 --> 00:53:30,507 Speaker 2: pretty boy'd running it bit to halfway at that point. 1052 00:53:30,827 --> 00:53:32,547 Speaker 2: They were obviously a man down as well, so we're 1053 00:53:32,547 --> 00:53:35,187 Speaker 2: playing against fourteen and I felt the game was just 1054 00:53:35,227 --> 00:53:36,867 Speaker 2: going back and forth. We've been able to get one 1055 00:53:36,867 --> 00:53:39,667 Speaker 2: more moment get down to their twenty two. Then you 1056 00:53:39,667 --> 00:53:41,267 Speaker 2: all of a sudden the pressure's back on them. So 1057 00:53:41,627 --> 00:53:43,227 Speaker 2: the game went back and forth. It's been a kicking 1058 00:53:43,347 --> 00:53:45,467 Speaker 2: game back and forth, and just lost a couple of 1059 00:53:45,467 --> 00:53:48,547 Speaker 2: battles there and then you had to overplay at the end. 1060 00:53:48,627 --> 00:53:50,867 Speaker 2: But yeah, for ten minutes SCO was here to take. 1061 00:53:50,867 --> 00:53:52,627 Speaker 21: How do you get the team back up as a 1062 00:53:52,627 --> 00:53:54,227 Speaker 21: collective for for Wales next week? 1063 00:53:54,667 --> 00:53:56,507 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you said an honest review. We were 1064 00:53:56,547 --> 00:53:59,107 Speaker 2: at like I think this year have played some great 1065 00:53:59,147 --> 00:54:01,787 Speaker 2: rugby and it's probably a little bit of a system. 1066 00:54:01,827 --> 00:54:03,267 Speaker 2: We were at around not being able to do it 1067 00:54:03,267 --> 00:54:05,507 Speaker 2: for eighty minutes. So thank you of an honest review. 1068 00:54:06,747 --> 00:54:09,587 Speaker 2: Some guys might be an opportunity next week, so exciting 1069 00:54:09,627 --> 00:54:11,707 Speaker 2: for them. But I'm putting on a black jersey again, 1070 00:54:11,827 --> 00:54:14,387 Speaker 2: so yeah, huge amount of something around that. 1071 00:54:14,747 --> 00:54:16,347 Speaker 22: I know it's not an easy question to answer if 1072 00:54:16,387 --> 00:54:18,067 Speaker 22: you talk about the game went back and forth in 1073 00:54:18,067 --> 00:54:20,907 Speaker 22: that final, I don't know, twelve minutes, when one score 1074 00:54:21,267 --> 00:54:24,427 Speaker 22: might put you in front. Why do you think you're 1075 00:54:24,467 --> 00:54:28,427 Speaker 22: not able to sort of put those compound successful moments 1076 00:54:28,467 --> 00:54:30,507 Speaker 22: together in those big, big periods. 1077 00:54:31,307 --> 00:54:32,827 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the last couple of weeks we've done 1078 00:54:32,827 --> 00:54:36,267 Speaker 2: that really well and Ilan in Scotland. So I don't 1079 00:54:36,307 --> 00:54:38,827 Speaker 2: necessarily think it's a pattern for us. I just thought tonight, 1080 00:54:39,827 --> 00:54:42,187 Speaker 2: yeah that maybe just a little bit more composed obviously 1081 00:54:42,387 --> 00:54:44,187 Speaker 2: cold control in their kicking game within nine and ten, 1082 00:54:45,507 --> 00:54:47,667 Speaker 2: and we just gave Way a few penalties and it 1083 00:54:47,667 --> 00:54:49,267 Speaker 2: can just be a couple of moments can hurt you. 1084 00:54:49,347 --> 00:54:53,587 Speaker 2: So I said, nearly think it's a trend. Just yeah, 1085 00:54:53,587 --> 00:54:55,187 Speaker 2: it's not. We're quite clinical enough for new. 1086 00:54:55,147 --> 00:54:59,107 Speaker 3: For those are the postmat's thoughts of Will Jordan one 1087 00:54:59,347 --> 00:55:02,027 Speaker 3: twenty text through here before we go back to the lines, 1088 00:55:02,027 --> 00:55:04,587 Speaker 3: what's with us? Where are England now two years out 1089 00:55:04,587 --> 00:55:06,707 Speaker 3: from the World Cup, et cetera? You puppare you wait 1090 00:55:06,747 --> 00:55:09,467 Speaker 3: the focus on the future rather than the now? Can't 1091 00:55:09,507 --> 00:55:12,067 Speaker 3: we just enjoy the current game without people like you 1092 00:55:12,747 --> 00:55:16,067 Speaker 3: belittling it? There's no way I am belittling what England 1093 00:55:16,107 --> 00:55:19,507 Speaker 3: did today. I just think in the context of world rugby, 1094 00:55:19,547 --> 00:55:23,427 Speaker 3: where World Cups are the focus of every single international 1095 00:55:23,507 --> 00:55:26,467 Speaker 3: rugby team, that the context of where you are at 1096 00:55:26,467 --> 00:55:29,587 Speaker 3: the midway point of World Cup cycle is relevant. My 1097 00:55:29,667 --> 00:55:33,067 Speaker 3: apologies though, if you thought I was belittling what happened today. 1098 00:55:33,067 --> 00:55:35,307 Speaker 3: Hello Ian, Oh. 1099 00:55:35,267 --> 00:55:37,627 Speaker 23: Good day, Jason. How are you doing good? 1100 00:55:37,627 --> 00:55:37,867 Speaker 15: Ian? 1101 00:55:37,947 --> 00:55:38,107 Speaker 24: Good? 1102 00:55:38,107 --> 00:55:38,707 Speaker 3: Thanks mate. 1103 00:55:39,347 --> 00:55:39,627 Speaker 25: Listen. 1104 00:55:39,667 --> 00:55:42,187 Speaker 23: Has been a little while, but I thought i'd better 1105 00:55:42,227 --> 00:55:46,467 Speaker 23: give you a ring before the rugby season runs there. Hey, listen, 1106 00:55:46,507 --> 00:55:48,947 Speaker 23: I watched the game early this morning. I'm not a 1107 00:55:48,987 --> 00:55:52,267 Speaker 23: happy chappy. I'm like at least one or two Ory 1108 00:55:52,387 --> 00:55:55,707 Speaker 23: you know of your callers there that they do say that, Look, 1109 00:55:55,987 --> 00:55:57,907 Speaker 23: you've got to do something with Bowden. 1110 00:55:58,067 --> 00:55:58,267 Speaker 8: Look. 1111 00:55:58,347 --> 00:56:01,307 Speaker 23: I know I'm a taranicky guy, but listen, that guy 1112 00:56:01,467 --> 00:56:04,547 Speaker 23: is kicking and kicking and kicking. He's doing all this 1113 00:56:04,707 --> 00:56:07,627 Speaker 23: stuff of kicking and he's just mucking the game up. 1114 00:56:08,027 --> 00:56:10,427 Speaker 23: And the same with his other brother, you know, Scotty. 1115 00:56:11,067 --> 00:56:13,907 Speaker 23: He doesn't want that Captain c I'm sure he doesn't. 1116 00:56:13,947 --> 00:56:17,067 Speaker 23: He doesn't need it. He might pay even play a 1117 00:56:17,067 --> 00:56:20,507 Speaker 23: better game, Jase, because I don't know how he plays 1118 00:56:20,587 --> 00:56:24,667 Speaker 23: without being the captain, but the whole game, I was disappointed. 1119 00:56:25,467 --> 00:56:27,907 Speaker 23: I'm not an All Black, you know, I'm not a 1120 00:56:27,987 --> 00:56:32,067 Speaker 23: real deep fan, Jase, but I love the All Blacks. 1121 00:56:32,067 --> 00:56:35,547 Speaker 23: But up until now, it's just gone past it, you know. 1122 00:56:36,627 --> 00:56:39,427 Speaker 3: And I hear what you're saying. The kicking thing, the 1123 00:56:39,507 --> 00:56:42,027 Speaker 3: kicking topic were. Yeah, we spoke a little bit about 1124 00:56:42,067 --> 00:56:44,987 Speaker 3: it before one o'clock. And look, I think Boden Barrett 1125 00:56:44,987 --> 00:56:47,827 Speaker 3: would freely admit that today was not one of his 1126 00:56:47,907 --> 00:56:50,907 Speaker 3: better test matches. He had picked up an injury by 1127 00:56:50,947 --> 00:56:53,307 Speaker 3: the sounds of it, which we weren't aware of during 1128 00:56:53,347 --> 00:56:56,107 Speaker 3: the game. But yeah, it's just I think one aspect 1129 00:56:56,147 --> 00:57:00,467 Speaker 3: of a number of things that once we get Wales 1130 00:57:00,467 --> 00:57:02,027 Speaker 3: out of the way next week and we still have 1131 00:57:02,067 --> 00:57:04,667 Speaker 3: to play that test match, that that will be looked at. 1132 00:57:04,907 --> 00:57:09,667 Speaker 3: And you know, there's a lot of narrative that it 1133 00:57:09,707 --> 00:57:12,067 Speaker 3: comes through on the text machine here and that I 1134 00:57:12,147 --> 00:57:17,667 Speaker 3: read elsewhere saying that people believe for whatever reason, and 1135 00:57:17,707 --> 00:57:22,707 Speaker 3: it's their perception and therefore their reality, that Razor gets 1136 00:57:22,747 --> 00:57:26,267 Speaker 3: an easy ride from the media. I've seen it time 1137 00:57:26,307 --> 00:57:29,307 Speaker 3: and time and time again, and it's often contrasted and 1138 00:57:29,387 --> 00:57:34,107 Speaker 3: compared to the way Ian Foster was perceived to be 1139 00:57:34,227 --> 00:57:38,747 Speaker 3: treated by the media. I think there will be a 1140 00:57:38,867 --> 00:57:44,067 Speaker 3: very very harsh spotlight on Scott Robertson and his coaching 1141 00:57:44,107 --> 00:57:46,907 Speaker 3: team when they do their end of year review. There 1142 00:57:46,947 --> 00:57:49,787 Speaker 3: has to be. As I said at the top of 1143 00:57:49,827 --> 00:57:54,747 Speaker 3: the show, the All Blacks haven't improved under Scott Robertson. 1144 00:57:55,547 --> 00:57:57,587 Speaker 3: They're not a better team now than they were when 1145 00:57:57,627 --> 00:58:00,627 Speaker 3: he took over. There was high excitement when he took over, 1146 00:58:00,707 --> 00:58:03,987 Speaker 3: and I think that was probably natural. Here was one 1147 00:58:04,027 --> 00:58:08,667 Speaker 3: of our most successful super rugby coaches of all time 1148 00:58:09,507 --> 00:58:11,907 Speaker 3: taking charge of the national team, and I think there 1149 00:58:11,987 --> 00:58:14,907 Speaker 3: was general acceptance that it was the right idea that 1150 00:58:14,987 --> 00:58:17,667 Speaker 3: he was the right man to be put into the 1151 00:58:17,747 --> 00:58:22,707 Speaker 3: job at that time. Now he's had two years and 1152 00:58:22,867 --> 00:58:26,307 Speaker 3: scrutiny will come, and rightly so. This is the coach 1153 00:58:26,467 --> 00:58:30,627 Speaker 3: of the All Blacks. It comes with the territory. It 1154 00:58:30,747 --> 00:58:35,147 Speaker 3: is the most scrutinized job in New Zealand sport and 1155 00:58:35,187 --> 00:58:38,507 Speaker 3: therefore I would expect that there would be extremely robust 1156 00:58:38,667 --> 00:58:44,587 Speaker 3: discussion and some fairly tough questions asked by those in 1157 00:58:44,707 --> 00:58:48,267 Speaker 3: power at New Zealand Rugby of Scott Robertson and his 1158 00:58:48,347 --> 00:58:53,267 Speaker 3: coaching staff. In their end of year review. There are 1159 00:58:53,307 --> 00:58:56,547 Speaker 3: a lot of areas that they may land on when 1160 00:58:56,547 --> 00:59:00,827 Speaker 3: they have a look at that review. But this idea 1161 00:59:00,947 --> 00:59:07,867 Speaker 3: that you know, the media, for what that's worth, have 1162 00:59:07,987 --> 00:59:11,227 Speaker 3: given Scott Robertson an easy ride, It's just not true. 1163 00:59:12,107 --> 00:59:16,187 Speaker 3: I've read, I've read a number of articles and columns 1164 00:59:16,387 --> 00:59:21,227 Speaker 3: and opinion pieces right across this year and for big 1165 00:59:21,267 --> 00:59:24,187 Speaker 3: parts of last year as well that do call into 1166 00:59:24,307 --> 00:59:27,467 Speaker 3: question what's happening with our All Black side and that 1167 00:59:27,627 --> 00:59:32,787 Speaker 3: is natural. Again, we love the All Blacks. They're our team. 1168 00:59:33,627 --> 00:59:39,187 Speaker 3: They are a team that we are entitled to scrutinize. 1169 00:59:41,707 --> 00:59:44,787 Speaker 9: Hello, Funny, okay, Arnie. 1170 00:59:45,787 --> 00:59:48,947 Speaker 14: Yeah, Look, any way I can sum up the All 1171 00:59:48,947 --> 00:59:51,627 Speaker 14: Blacks of the last bloody four or five years. I'm 1172 00:59:51,667 --> 00:59:55,667 Speaker 14: the fozzy and Phrasors is like a learner driver trying 1173 00:59:55,707 --> 01:00:01,107 Speaker 14: to bloody driver column shift. It's just it's just been 1174 01:00:01,187 --> 01:00:05,147 Speaker 14: an absolute clunk and Bloody can't get into gear and 1175 01:00:06,027 --> 01:00:08,027 Speaker 14: can't shift this way or that way. 1176 01:00:08,107 --> 01:00:10,707 Speaker 3: It's a couple of bunny hops, yeah, a couple of 1177 01:00:10,707 --> 01:00:13,107 Speaker 3: Bundy hops stalling a couple of times. Yep. 1178 01:00:13,267 --> 01:00:16,867 Speaker 14: Oh, it's just painful, mate, It's the back line of 1179 01:00:17,227 --> 01:00:21,867 Speaker 14: there's no fluency. I haven't seen fluency and in the 1180 01:00:21,907 --> 01:00:24,947 Speaker 14: back line for so long, nothing seems to click and 1181 01:00:25,667 --> 01:00:27,547 Speaker 14: oh what a mess. 1182 01:00:28,987 --> 01:00:29,147 Speaker 15: Mm. 1183 01:00:30,227 --> 01:00:33,507 Speaker 3: But it's a great analogy. Actually, it's a because I 1184 01:00:33,547 --> 01:00:36,907 Speaker 3: think we were used to seeing the All Blacks and 1185 01:00:36,947 --> 01:00:40,867 Speaker 3: if I use the car analogy, shift effortlessly through the gears, 1186 01:00:41,507 --> 01:00:45,787 Speaker 3: you know, and and and perr along and and and 1187 01:00:45,827 --> 01:00:49,827 Speaker 3: be a very well functioning machine. And you're right, clunky 1188 01:00:49,947 --> 01:00:52,347 Speaker 3: is a good word for it. And in many ways 1189 01:00:52,387 --> 01:00:53,707 Speaker 3: it's to do with the fact that a lot of 1190 01:00:53,707 --> 01:00:55,907 Speaker 3: other teams have caught up and and you know, the 1191 01:00:55,947 --> 01:00:58,947 Speaker 3: All Blacks aren't the you know, the king of the 1192 01:00:58,987 --> 01:01:02,907 Speaker 3: castle anymore. But yeah, you're right there. There has been 1193 01:01:02,947 --> 01:01:05,907 Speaker 3: a degree of clunkiness, certainly in the last two years. 1194 01:01:05,947 --> 01:01:08,507 Speaker 3: I think I think Ian Foster had them gone pretty well. Actually, 1195 01:01:08,747 --> 01:01:12,067 Speaker 3: I must say, after after that Irish series and the 1196 01:01:12,147 --> 01:01:13,947 Speaker 3: lessons he learned from that, I think he had them 1197 01:01:13,947 --> 01:01:15,787 Speaker 3: going pretty well going towards the World Cup. And but 1198 01:01:15,907 --> 01:01:17,867 Speaker 3: for a you know, a red card and a point 1199 01:01:17,907 --> 01:01:19,467 Speaker 3: here or there, we might have won the World Cup. 1200 01:01:19,507 --> 01:01:22,027 Speaker 3: But but yeah, there's been a clunkiness about the team 1201 01:01:22,067 --> 01:01:23,467 Speaker 3: in the last couple of years for sure. 1202 01:01:26,347 --> 01:01:31,787 Speaker 26: Yeah, Yeah, it's just yeah, where do you Where do 1203 01:01:31,867 --> 01:01:32,187 Speaker 26: you go? 1204 01:01:32,427 --> 01:01:36,987 Speaker 14: I just I honestly think that that Scott Robinson is 1205 01:01:37,147 --> 01:01:40,427 Speaker 14: just holding out for Richie mulong As to come back 1206 01:01:40,467 --> 01:01:41,427 Speaker 14: and and. 1207 01:01:41,387 --> 01:01:46,627 Speaker 26: Hopefully to drive that ship. That's that, That's my perception anyway. 1208 01:01:46,627 --> 01:01:51,427 Speaker 26: He's just obviously that's why Richie's signed a contract and 1209 01:01:51,587 --> 01:01:55,627 Speaker 26: that's what Scott Robinson's banking on, that things will change 1210 01:01:55,667 --> 01:01:57,747 Speaker 26: when Richie's bloody driving the ship. 1211 01:01:58,347 --> 01:02:00,427 Speaker 3: Totally agree. I think he's chips in on him. I 1212 01:02:00,427 --> 01:02:03,627 Speaker 3: think he's absolutely chips in on him. That that he 1213 01:02:03,787 --> 01:02:10,427 Speaker 3: is he is hoping and presumably expecting that Richie muong 1214 01:02:10,547 --> 01:02:12,387 Speaker 3: will come in and do exactly what I did at 1215 01:02:12,387 --> 01:02:16,067 Speaker 3: the Crusaders during that remarkable period of success that the 1216 01:02:16,067 --> 01:02:18,987 Speaker 3: two of them enjoyed together, that he will come in 1217 01:02:19,907 --> 01:02:23,987 Speaker 3: and he will turn things around.

How are you going? 1227 01:02:50,187 --> 01:02:50,307 Speaker 5: Uh? 1228 01:02:50,467 --> 01:02:50,867 Speaker 15: Not bad? 1229 01:02:50,947 --> 01:02:53,227 Speaker 17: Thanks for a Sunday, just for this doing the bloody 1230 01:02:53,307 --> 01:02:53,947 Speaker 17: lawns and all that. 1231 01:02:54,067 --> 01:02:56,547 Speaker 3: Drun good Man, good man, you know. 1232 01:02:56,667 --> 01:03:00,107 Speaker 17: You know, you know, hear what happens. I'm not really 1233 01:03:00,147 --> 01:03:02,147 Speaker 17: going to talk about thebo so I'm going to talk abit. 1234 01:03:02,227 --> 01:03:06,587 Speaker 17: The captn't seem more than anything. As you know, I'm 1235 01:03:06,587 --> 01:03:09,627 Speaker 17: a well former Willington now I'm now on the Hawk's bay. 1236 01:03:10,747 --> 01:03:17,107 Speaker 17: But I've had the captaincy taken off me twice, mainly 1237 01:03:17,187 --> 01:03:20,787 Speaker 17: because of form. Now that I think it was a 1238 01:03:20,827 --> 01:03:23,947 Speaker 17: gender one I heard before saying about that a little bit. 1239 01:03:24,427 --> 01:03:30,867 Speaker 17: It does affect your play and I was playing rugby 1240 01:03:30,907 --> 01:03:33,827 Speaker 17: at the time, so I don't know what other sports 1241 01:03:33,907 --> 01:03:37,987 Speaker 17: go through, but it does. And I think to myself, well, 1242 01:03:38,147 --> 01:03:40,307 Speaker 17: and as I just said, I had it taken off 1243 01:03:40,347 --> 01:03:44,347 Speaker 17: me twice and I was comfortable with it too. 1244 01:03:46,627 --> 01:03:46,787 Speaker 15: Well. 1245 01:03:46,787 --> 01:03:49,427 Speaker 3: I think one of the things about being captain Ian 1246 01:03:49,547 --> 01:03:52,547 Speaker 3: is that your position in the team has to be 1247 01:03:52,547 --> 01:03:57,107 Speaker 3: beyond doubt right. You have to be you know, for 1248 01:03:57,187 --> 01:04:00,227 Speaker 3: the you know, all things being equal, you are a 1249 01:04:00,267 --> 01:04:05,147 Speaker 3: starting player in the team. And you know, I think 1250 01:04:05,147 --> 01:04:07,707 Speaker 3: Scott Barrett is that. I think he is one of 1251 01:04:07,747 --> 01:04:10,147 Speaker 3: our best two locks. But as I said before, I 1252 01:04:10,267 --> 01:04:14,547 Speaker 3: just don't know that the captaincy sits comfortably with him. 1253 01:04:14,547 --> 01:04:17,187 Speaker 3: It doesn't seem to. There are some captains you look 1254 01:04:17,227 --> 01:04:19,547 Speaker 3: at and you think he looks like a captain. He 1255 01:04:19,707 --> 01:04:22,827 Speaker 3: sounds like a captain. There are lots of different ways 1256 01:04:22,867 --> 01:04:26,827 Speaker 3: to lead, and as I've said, often we don't know 1257 01:04:26,947 --> 01:04:30,507 Speaker 3: what happens in the inner workings, the inner sanctum of 1258 01:04:30,587 --> 01:04:34,267 Speaker 3: the All Blacks and the influence that Scott Barrett has, 1259 01:04:34,307 --> 01:04:37,867 Speaker 3: because clearly he has the respect of all of those 1260 01:04:37,907 --> 01:04:42,427 Speaker 3: who play alongside him. It just doesn't look like he 1261 01:04:42,507 --> 01:04:48,387 Speaker 3: enjoys the captaincy that much. I don't know. Maybe he doesn't. 1262 01:04:50,227 --> 01:04:53,867 Speaker 3: Would he be better without the armband? I guess we'll 1263 01:04:53,867 --> 01:04:59,427 Speaker 3: only know if it's taken away from him. There are 1264 01:04:59,667 --> 01:05:07,147 Speaker 3: examples of sports people who, unencumbered by leadership, reach highest ceiling. 1265 01:05:10,067 --> 01:05:12,307 Speaker 3: Thanks for your call in oh one hundred and eighty 1266 01:05:12,347 --> 01:05:16,627 Speaker 3: ten eighties our number. Simon, Hi, mate, get a piney. 1267 01:05:16,667 --> 01:05:17,987 Speaker 3: How you are good? Simon? 1268 01:05:18,027 --> 01:05:18,147 Speaker 15: Good? 1269 01:05:18,187 --> 01:05:18,787 Speaker 3: Thanks mate? 1270 01:05:19,747 --> 01:05:24,307 Speaker 27: Yeah, good, Hey, I'm just keeping it simple. We've had 1271 01:05:24,307 --> 01:05:28,507 Speaker 27: two years of Razor and it is not working right, 1272 01:05:28,587 --> 01:05:31,827 Speaker 27: It ain't working. Kimi's are not happy, All Black fans 1273 01:05:31,827 --> 01:05:35,907 Speaker 27: are not happy. There's no cohesion. That this team is 1274 01:05:36,067 --> 01:05:39,427 Speaker 27: crap in the story. So if you go back to 1275 01:05:39,467 --> 01:05:42,507 Speaker 27: the days of the eighties and nineties or to two thousands, 1276 01:05:43,307 --> 01:05:47,627 Speaker 27: any coach after two years of this would be gone, gone. 1277 01:05:48,147 --> 01:05:51,067 Speaker 27: And I think it's time for him to go resign 1278 01:05:51,387 --> 01:05:53,947 Speaker 27: at the end of the Whales game and go And 1279 01:05:54,027 --> 01:05:56,867 Speaker 27: we've got Jamie Joseph from the Wings, bring him in. 1280 01:05:56,947 --> 01:05:59,667 Speaker 27: We've got two years to get this team right. The 1281 01:05:59,747 --> 01:06:03,867 Speaker 27: team is an utter disaster. That's where I'm at. 1282 01:06:05,107 --> 01:06:07,947 Speaker 3: Well, sorry, yeah, no gray area there, Simon, look and 1283 01:06:08,187 --> 01:06:12,427 Speaker 3: I look, I sense the passion. I look. I don't 1284 01:06:12,427 --> 01:06:14,987 Speaker 3: think he's going to resign. I don't think that's in 1285 01:06:15,067 --> 01:06:20,707 Speaker 3: his DNA. And I'm not yeah, and I'm not. Look, 1286 01:06:20,827 --> 01:06:25,067 Speaker 3: I think he should certainly be, you know, be subject 1287 01:06:25,067 --> 01:06:26,827 Speaker 3: to an end of season review. I mean, I think 1288 01:06:26,827 --> 01:06:28,787 Speaker 3: that happens if you win every game or lose every game, 1289 01:06:28,787 --> 01:06:31,107 Speaker 3: he'll have to they'll have to sit down and review 1290 01:06:31,147 --> 01:06:33,667 Speaker 3: the year with the powers that be at New Zealand Rugby. 1291 01:06:34,027 --> 01:06:35,987 Speaker 3: What I would need to see, Simon, And I'm sure 1292 01:06:36,027 --> 01:06:38,947 Speaker 3: you would too. Is a plan for improvement? 1293 01:06:40,147 --> 01:06:43,707 Speaker 27: Oh yeah, yeah, there's no there. What is the plan? 1294 01:06:44,227 --> 01:06:46,947 Speaker 27: You ask any fan, there's no game plan out there? 1295 01:06:47,387 --> 01:06:49,067 Speaker 27: You know, where is the improvement? 1296 01:06:49,107 --> 01:06:49,787 Speaker 7: Boden bear it. 1297 01:06:49,987 --> 01:06:53,347 Speaker 27: I'm sorry that he's he needs to just you know, 1298 01:06:53,787 --> 01:06:56,467 Speaker 27: move on from Boden. We've got these young first fires 1299 01:06:56,507 --> 01:06:59,907 Speaker 27: around the country that should be being used. We can't 1300 01:06:59,947 --> 01:07:02,267 Speaker 27: wait out for the old mate to come back from Japan. 1301 01:07:02,387 --> 01:07:05,707 Speaker 27: I mean he's not a young man either, right, So 1302 01:07:06,747 --> 01:07:09,747 Speaker 27: you know two years past, you know, we had the 1303 01:07:09,787 --> 01:07:12,787 Speaker 27: cantab's bag and the hell out of Fozy during his tenure, 1304 01:07:13,947 --> 01:07:16,147 Speaker 27: and this guy has come in and we've seen two 1305 01:07:16,187 --> 01:07:21,947 Speaker 27: years of extreme mediocre you know, mediocrity. Sorry, you know, 1306 01:07:22,107 --> 01:07:25,067 Speaker 27: it's just mate, it's just frustrating. And I see the 1307 01:07:25,107 --> 01:07:27,947 Speaker 27: England team today, you know, they're super happy for beating 1308 01:07:28,027 --> 01:07:30,747 Speaker 27: us and all that. And if you go on Facebook, 1309 01:07:30,747 --> 01:07:32,907 Speaker 27: there's all sorts of comments around, oh you know, we 1310 01:07:32,987 --> 01:07:34,787 Speaker 27: gave it our beg shots and you know, but the 1311 01:07:34,827 --> 01:07:37,947 Speaker 27: thing is, it's unacceptable to lose to England in this 1312 01:07:38,067 --> 01:07:42,147 Speaker 27: way and it's unacceptable to just have two years of mediocrity. 1313 01:07:42,667 --> 01:07:45,227 Speaker 27: The All Blacks are bigger than that, you know, and 1314 01:07:45,267 --> 01:07:47,827 Speaker 27: it's just it just should not be accepted. And I 1315 01:07:47,827 --> 01:07:49,467 Speaker 27: think if we're going to make a big decision, you 1316 01:07:49,547 --> 01:07:52,307 Speaker 27: have to do it now because we've only got two 1317 01:07:52,387 --> 01:07:53,667 Speaker 27: years left, right. 1318 01:07:53,667 --> 01:07:53,827 Speaker 7: So. 1319 01:07:55,267 --> 01:07:56,787 Speaker 27: Yeah, that's where I'm at. 1320 01:07:56,827 --> 01:07:59,427 Speaker 3: Anyway, on your Simon, no, good on you, mate, Thank 1321 01:07:59,427 --> 01:08:02,907 Speaker 3: you for calling in. I have enjoyed your call, and 1322 01:08:03,227 --> 01:08:07,147 Speaker 3: you're right told them to account. Often. You know, we 1323 01:08:08,387 --> 01:08:13,027 Speaker 3: are accused the rugby public of being too hard on 1324 01:08:13,227 --> 01:08:18,747 Speaker 3: our sporting teams, but this is the All Blacks, so 1325 01:08:19,547 --> 01:08:24,067 Speaker 3: scrutiny is part of the job for them, for the 1326 01:08:24,067 --> 01:08:27,667 Speaker 3: coaching staff, for the players, and they often say it. 1327 01:08:28,107 --> 01:08:32,867 Speaker 3: They say it themselves, the players and the coaches. They 1328 01:08:32,907 --> 01:08:36,067 Speaker 3: embrace the fact that we care so much about the team. 1329 01:08:36,307 --> 01:08:41,147 Speaker 3: Otherwise what would they be. Thanks for your course, Simon, Michael, Hi. 1330 01:08:43,147 --> 01:08:43,907 Speaker 4: Good afternoon. 1331 01:08:45,147 --> 01:08:45,787 Speaker 14: You just got me. 1332 01:08:45,867 --> 01:08:49,027 Speaker 11: I had the phone down, But I have a slightly 1333 01:08:49,067 --> 01:08:52,987 Speaker 11: different thing. I've heard Scott Roberson this morning after the game, 1334 01:08:53,147 --> 01:08:55,587 Speaker 11: and then I heard the fullback of just his name 1335 01:08:55,747 --> 01:08:57,947 Speaker 11: just this case me the other a few minutes ago 1336 01:08:57,987 --> 01:08:58,787 Speaker 11: on your show. 1337 01:08:58,907 --> 01:09:01,587 Speaker 3: Yep yep, will Jordan, yep, Well Jordan. 1338 01:09:01,427 --> 01:09:07,667 Speaker 11: That's it all seeing the praise missed opportunity, Well I'd 1339 01:09:07,707 --> 01:09:10,147 Speaker 11: like to point out that England had at least one, 1340 01:09:10,227 --> 01:09:14,627 Speaker 11: maybe two tries disallowed. They had numerous There were two 1341 01:09:14,707 --> 01:09:18,627 Speaker 11: whole held up over the line. Aren't those missed opportunities? 1342 01:09:19,267 --> 01:09:21,867 Speaker 11: You know, we are only looking and they all see. 1343 01:09:22,147 --> 01:09:25,387 Speaker 11: But then, maybe the most telling comment was from our 1344 01:09:25,507 --> 01:09:29,427 Speaker 11: lady commentators. She was dressed in red at Twickenham. Do 1345 01:09:29,467 --> 01:09:30,107 Speaker 11: you remember her? 1346 01:09:31,387 --> 01:09:35,667 Speaker 3: I was listening to the commentary this morning. I've asked sorry. 1347 01:09:36,787 --> 01:09:38,907 Speaker 11: She was a keyw WE girl and she made the 1348 01:09:38,947 --> 01:09:42,267 Speaker 11: most to me, the most telling comment. Afterwards. She said 1349 01:09:42,347 --> 01:09:45,067 Speaker 11: there was just one or two of the all blacks 1350 01:09:45,507 --> 01:09:50,347 Speaker 11: who looked sad or look I can't remember her words. 1351 01:09:50,787 --> 01:09:53,547 Speaker 11: There were others just walking around smiling as if oh, 1352 01:09:53,627 --> 01:09:57,627 Speaker 11: that's any other game. Almost I'm being a bit exaggeration there, 1353 01:09:58,027 --> 01:10:01,707 Speaker 11: but I saw a picture of Ardi Servier sitting on 1354 01:10:01,747 --> 01:10:06,867 Speaker 11: the ground against her go post, absolutely gutted. That's the 1355 01:10:06,947 --> 01:10:11,067 Speaker 11: thing that's missing. That's the thing, and it's just those 1356 01:10:11,107 --> 01:10:13,827 Speaker 11: two things that I wanted to point out. The English 1357 01:10:13,867 --> 01:10:17,107 Speaker 11: had many opportunities too, and they were close. They dropped 1358 01:10:17,107 --> 01:10:20,027 Speaker 11: the ball within a meter of the line. They had 1359 01:10:20,067 --> 01:10:23,147 Speaker 11: at least one held up over the line, and as 1360 01:10:23,187 --> 01:10:27,147 Speaker 11: I say, one or two try and that try that 1361 01:10:27,387 --> 01:10:32,067 Speaker 11: was just allowed for how many minutes further back? 1362 01:10:32,147 --> 01:10:33,547 Speaker 9: Are we going to go with the drinking? 1363 01:10:34,227 --> 01:10:37,587 Speaker 3: Yeah? I know what you mean, Michael. I know, yeah, 1364 01:10:37,587 --> 01:10:39,387 Speaker 3: looks I've got one more call to get him before 1365 01:10:39,787 --> 01:10:41,427 Speaker 3: we moved, Michael. But thank you. I think it was 1366 01:10:41,467 --> 01:10:44,627 Speaker 3: Taylor Johnson who you were referring to. She was the 1367 01:10:44,667 --> 01:10:46,747 Speaker 3: Sky Sport interviewer on the ground over there, and I 1368 01:10:46,787 --> 01:10:50,627 Speaker 3: do do recall now hearing her post match say something 1369 01:10:50,627 --> 01:10:54,787 Speaker 3: along the lines of what you've outlined there. That and 1370 01:10:54,827 --> 01:10:58,067 Speaker 3: it's just a perception again, but it didn't feel as 1371 01:10:58,147 --> 01:11:01,907 Speaker 3: though there was an utter sense of desolation after the loss. 1372 01:11:02,987 --> 01:11:04,987 Speaker 3: People show the motion in different ways. I saw that 1373 01:11:05,027 --> 01:11:06,947 Speaker 3: photo that you're referring to of our save. I think 1374 01:11:06,987 --> 01:11:09,907 Speaker 3: it summed up brilliantly, sitting there back against the post, 1375 01:11:10,027 --> 01:11:12,307 Speaker 3: just staring into the middle distance and wondering what on 1376 01:11:12,347 --> 01:11:15,507 Speaker 3: earth had just gone on. Thanks Michael, enjoyed the rest 1377 01:11:15,507 --> 01:11:17,787 Speaker 3: of your day, Frank. Last word is yours today? 1378 01:11:17,787 --> 01:11:21,787 Speaker 13: Mate, Okay, piney, thank you. I'm going to prefer this 1379 01:11:22,387 --> 01:11:27,787 Speaker 13: to an analogy, a canine analogy. We came onto the 1380 01:11:28,107 --> 01:11:30,707 Speaker 13: paddock there. We were a bunch of collies and we 1381 01:11:30,787 --> 01:11:34,267 Speaker 13: randed them up and after twenty minutes at twelve nil, 1382 01:11:34,747 --> 01:11:38,107 Speaker 13: we had them. But hang on, we were fight. We 1383 01:11:38,107 --> 01:11:42,467 Speaker 13: were facing the British bulldog, and that British bulldog has 1384 01:11:42,507 --> 01:11:44,827 Speaker 13: got sharp teeth, and by god, he betters. 1385 01:11:47,027 --> 01:11:50,187 Speaker 3: I don't mind the canine analogy, Frank, I don't mind it. Yeah, 1386 01:11:50,227 --> 01:11:53,147 Speaker 3: looks and what do they say if we want to 1387 01:11:53,187 --> 01:11:55,587 Speaker 3: continue the analogy, it's the size of the dog in 1388 01:11:55,627 --> 01:11:57,347 Speaker 3: the fight, or the size of the fight and the dog. 1389 01:11:57,427 --> 01:11:59,867 Speaker 3: I think they were just bigger. There was more fight 1390 01:12:00,067 --> 01:12:03,107 Speaker 3: in the British bulldog perhaps than the New Zealand sheep 1391 01:12:03,147 --> 01:12:05,987 Speaker 3: dog Collie today. You know, it may may be something 1392 01:12:06,027 --> 01:12:09,027 Speaker 3: as as simple as that. Frank, thank you for your call. 1393 01:12:09,147 --> 01:12:13,547 Speaker 3: Thank you for all your calls and correspondence. Look, I 1394 01:12:13,627 --> 01:12:16,227 Speaker 3: greatly appreciate you taking the time to articulate your thoughts, 1395 01:12:16,267 --> 01:12:19,267 Speaker 3: either on the air or via text. There's no way 1396 01:12:19,307 --> 01:12:21,347 Speaker 3: we can get to anywhere near all of the messages, 1397 01:12:21,347 --> 01:12:22,947 Speaker 3: but thank you for sending them through. We do read 1398 01:12:22,987 --> 01:12:25,827 Speaker 3: them all.

Look, I think the rugby public is reacting and 1415 01:13:13,507 --> 01:13:16,747 Speaker 3: it's truly measured fashion as per usual. Where would you 1416 01:13:16,787 --> 01:13:19,787 Speaker 3: like to place your focus as you analyze the game? 1417 01:13:20,787 --> 01:13:23,067 Speaker 28: Well, I'd like to start with a little bit of 1418 01:13:23,107 --> 01:13:26,907 Speaker 28: a defensive razor, and that is, like you look at 1419 01:13:26,907 --> 01:13:30,307 Speaker 28: this team, it's fully in development mode as far as 1420 01:13:30,347 --> 01:13:34,347 Speaker 28: I'm concerned, because if there's four experienced players in that 1421 01:13:34,467 --> 01:13:36,587 Speaker 28: starting lineup, and I call it four and a half 1422 01:13:36,667 --> 01:13:40,947 Speaker 28: really because you've got Cody Taylor, Scott Barrett, Ardie, Savier, Bowden, 1423 01:13:40,987 --> 01:13:44,067 Speaker 28: Barrett and the half is Will Jordan. But the rest 1424 01:13:44,387 --> 01:13:47,627 Speaker 28: is about one hundred and forty maybe caps between them, 1425 01:13:47,827 --> 01:13:49,947 Speaker 28: and half of those belong to the group and Mules. 1426 01:13:50,027 --> 01:13:52,707 Speaker 28: So I just want to say, I do feel like 1427 01:13:52,787 --> 01:13:55,267 Speaker 28: this looks like a development team to me, and I 1428 01:13:55,347 --> 01:13:58,307 Speaker 28: know that you know, the Wiblets don't do development because 1429 01:13:58,387 --> 01:14:02,987 Speaker 28: it's you know, they must win philosophy. However, however, Pony, 1430 01:14:04,267 --> 01:14:08,987 Speaker 28: I think our game plan is uninspiring and predictable, and 1431 01:14:09,027 --> 01:14:12,107 Speaker 28: I think our attack is just missing something. And even 1432 01:14:12,187 --> 01:14:15,227 Speaker 28: you had the Englishmen saying we're just playing into their 1433 01:14:15,227 --> 01:14:17,627 Speaker 28: hands on the halfway line, and in you were opener 1434 01:14:17,707 --> 01:14:19,987 Speaker 28: for the show, I thought you were banging on you 1435 01:14:20,027 --> 01:14:23,147 Speaker 28: know what's happened to our set moves? I think there 1436 01:14:23,187 --> 01:14:26,587 Speaker 28: actually are gaps out on the field. England exploited them 1437 01:14:26,747 --> 01:14:29,507 Speaker 28: a couple of times from set play for Ali Lawrence 1438 01:14:29,507 --> 01:14:31,787 Speaker 28: and then has passed it Dingwell and you could see 1439 01:14:31,787 --> 01:14:34,907 Speaker 28: it from Spider Can. The gaps are there, We're not 1440 01:14:35,027 --> 01:14:37,747 Speaker 28: finding them, we haven't got the moves, and we're and 1441 01:14:37,827 --> 01:14:41,187 Speaker 28: we're struggling to actually get our best players into the 1442 01:14:41,187 --> 01:14:42,107 Speaker 28: game consistently. 1443 01:14:42,947 --> 01:14:47,627 Speaker 3: So do you feel optimistic that that can be corrected. 1444 01:14:49,587 --> 01:14:53,427 Speaker 28: I'm not sure because Jason Holland has gone right, so 1445 01:14:53,947 --> 01:14:56,267 Speaker 28: I guess does Hanson take over there in that role 1446 01:14:56,307 --> 01:14:59,547 Speaker 28: as a tack coach is what I've been hearing. So 1447 01:15:00,947 --> 01:15:03,307 Speaker 28: it remains to be seen. And of course Wales is 1448 01:15:03,347 --> 01:15:05,387 Speaker 28: just a gimmea isn't It's a layup of a game. 1449 01:15:05,747 --> 01:15:08,187 Speaker 28: But the one thing that I think where England has 1450 01:15:08,227 --> 01:15:11,107 Speaker 28: showed us up big time is bringing their talent through. 1451 01:15:11,507 --> 01:15:14,307 Speaker 28: You know, they're not all massive. Marcus Smith is tiny, 1452 01:15:15,387 --> 01:15:18,227 Speaker 28: he's there, Damien McKenzie, George Ford is. 1453 01:15:18,187 --> 01:15:18,827 Speaker 29: A little bloke. 1454 01:15:18,907 --> 01:15:19,147 Speaker 8: You know. 1455 01:15:19,227 --> 01:15:21,987 Speaker 28: There are guys out there who come on and just 1456 01:15:22,067 --> 01:15:26,387 Speaker 28: provide either spark or leadership. They don't necessarily have to 1457 01:15:26,387 --> 01:15:29,307 Speaker 28: be these big ogres that England have relied on in 1458 01:15:29,347 --> 01:15:32,267 Speaker 28: the past, and so Henry Pollock is one of those 1459 01:15:32,307 --> 01:15:35,027 Speaker 28: as well. And we do have Henry Pollocks in New 1460 01:15:35,107 --> 01:15:38,827 Speaker 28: Zealand and that currently Lucas Casey, Oli mathis or whatever, 1461 01:15:39,307 --> 01:15:42,507 Speaker 28: and we're sort of waiting for the opportunity. But the 1462 01:15:42,547 --> 01:15:45,107 Speaker 28: time is now really because the team to me is 1463 01:15:45,107 --> 01:15:47,787 Speaker 28: in development mode. So you've got to throw the kitchen 1464 01:15:47,827 --> 01:15:49,747 Speaker 28: sink at it. And you and I watched a lot 1465 01:15:49,747 --> 01:15:52,827 Speaker 28: of Super Ugby this year, Pony, and it was pretty 1466 01:15:52,867 --> 01:15:55,107 Speaker 28: evident that Ruben Love should have been given a shot 1467 01:15:55,267 --> 01:15:57,707 Speaker 28: at ten at some point this season. So yeah, of 1468 01:15:57,707 --> 01:16:00,627 Speaker 28: course it's going to be against Wales. But what are 1469 01:16:00,627 --> 01:16:01,267 Speaker 28: we waiting for? 1470 01:16:02,147 --> 01:16:06,227 Speaker 3: Speaking of teens, do you believe as I do and 1471 01:16:06,427 --> 01:16:08,347 Speaker 3: you don't have to agree. Do you believe that Scott 1472 01:16:08,427 --> 01:16:10,667 Speaker 3: Robertson is kind of all in chips and if you 1473 01:16:10,787 --> 01:16:12,747 Speaker 3: like on Richie Moonga to come in and be the 1474 01:16:13,307 --> 01:16:15,067 Speaker 3: and be the savior of this team. 1475 01:16:16,627 --> 01:16:18,707 Speaker 28: I think he knew with Lester find the Nuku and 1476 01:16:19,107 --> 01:16:21,027 Speaker 28: Richie Moore than they're coming back. He's kind of getting 1477 01:16:21,067 --> 01:16:23,427 Speaker 28: the old band back together. But the problem with trying 1478 01:16:23,427 --> 01:16:25,747 Speaker 28: to reinvent those Crusaders teams that he won all those 1479 01:16:25,787 --> 01:16:28,427 Speaker 28: titles with is back then he had the best players. 1480 01:16:28,547 --> 01:16:31,067 Speaker 28: He had fourteen all blacks, and he had Sam Whitelock 1481 01:16:31,107 --> 01:16:33,267 Speaker 28: as the leader and there was no way any other 1482 01:16:33,307 --> 01:16:37,147 Speaker 28: team could compete with quality and leadership and just true grit. 1483 01:16:37,507 --> 01:16:40,507 Speaker 28: Whereas out there right now he doesn't have the best players. 1484 01:16:40,627 --> 01:16:43,507 Speaker 28: When we play other nations, we don't even have the 1485 01:16:43,547 --> 01:16:46,387 Speaker 28: most dangerous players. You know, you look at South Africa, 1486 01:16:46,507 --> 01:16:48,707 Speaker 28: they've got four or five match winners, he you'd probably 1487 01:16:48,787 --> 01:16:52,307 Speaker 28: rate ahead of ours, so and they're starting to use 1488 01:16:52,347 --> 01:16:55,027 Speaker 28: them so that the signs aren't good. I actually think 1489 01:16:55,067 --> 01:16:57,987 Speaker 28: you really need to go and say whatever, Henry Pollock 1490 01:16:58,107 --> 01:17:02,627 Speaker 28: provides that energy, that excitement. We need to find that 1491 01:17:02,747 --> 01:17:05,267 Speaker 28: because that was what New Zealand Rugby had over the others, 1492 01:17:05,267 --> 01:17:09,387 Speaker 28: and including skill and dare I say it, passing in 1493 01:17:09,467 --> 01:17:12,587 Speaker 28: tight spaces. England gave us a lesson last night, a 1494 01:17:12,667 --> 01:17:13,307 Speaker 28: simple as that. 1495 01:17:14,387 --> 01:17:18,067 Speaker 3: What do you think they'll do selection wise for Wales? 1496 01:17:18,387 --> 01:17:22,227 Speaker 3: Do you see wholesale changes or do you think, given 1497 01:17:22,267 --> 01:17:24,347 Speaker 3: the fact that they lost this morning that they might 1498 01:17:24,387 --> 01:17:27,987 Speaker 3: be a bit more conservative. Surely there'll be some changes. 1499 01:17:29,347 --> 01:17:31,187 Speaker 28: Well, given that I've just mentioned the four and a 1500 01:17:31,227 --> 01:17:33,827 Speaker 28: half experienced players, I think some of them will still 1501 01:17:33,827 --> 01:17:35,787 Speaker 28: have to play because you can't just go in with 1502 01:17:35,827 --> 01:17:38,867 Speaker 28: all rookies. They are an experienced a lot when you 1503 01:17:38,907 --> 01:17:42,867 Speaker 28: look around. But yeah, there will be a fair amount 1504 01:17:42,867 --> 01:17:45,467 Speaker 28: of changes with I guess an insurance policy on the bench. 1505 01:17:45,987 --> 01:17:51,547 Speaker 28: But brutally, if you consider that Damien McKenzie got us 1506 01:17:51,587 --> 01:17:54,507 Speaker 28: out of jail last week in Ireland, the cards sort 1507 01:17:54,547 --> 01:17:57,267 Speaker 28: of fell our way nicely, and I know the Irish 1508 01:17:57,307 --> 01:18:00,387 Speaker 28: didn't enjoy that French wreath. And I mean there has 1509 01:18:00,427 --> 01:18:03,507 Speaker 28: to be said that the yellow card to Cody Taylor 1510 01:18:03,667 --> 01:18:06,707 Speaker 28: was laughable. But we weren't dominating the game, we weren't 1511 01:18:06,707 --> 01:18:09,587 Speaker 28: dominating the contact, and we didn't have the continuity. So 1512 01:18:10,067 --> 01:18:11,747 Speaker 28: you know, what is the plan? Which is what you're 1513 01:18:11,787 --> 01:18:15,667 Speaker 28: asking and I think you can probably just ask that 1514 01:18:15,827 --> 01:18:17,707 Speaker 28: or whoever next time you get a coach on is 1515 01:18:17,747 --> 01:18:20,587 Speaker 28: just say what are we doing? Because it doesn't seem 1516 01:18:20,587 --> 01:18:22,347 Speaker 28: to be working against the big teams. 1517 01:18:22,827 --> 01:18:26,867 Speaker 3: At what point in the World Cup cycle do you 1518 01:18:26,987 --> 01:18:31,467 Speaker 3: stop experimenting or can you keep on trying new things out? 1519 01:18:31,707 --> 01:18:34,627 Speaker 3: Certainly next year, but what about you know, at the 1520 01:18:34,667 --> 01:18:37,867 Speaker 3: back end of next year, when we're within twelve months 1521 01:18:37,907 --> 01:18:40,787 Speaker 3: of the World Cup, can we still be trying stuff 1522 01:18:40,827 --> 01:18:43,227 Speaker 3: out on the Northern tour next year? We've got the 1523 01:18:43,267 --> 01:18:46,987 Speaker 3: South African Tour obviously next year, haven't we? Is that 1524 01:18:46,987 --> 01:18:47,347 Speaker 3: next year? 1525 01:18:47,467 --> 01:18:47,747 Speaker 7: It is? 1526 01:18:48,027 --> 01:18:53,427 Speaker 3: So when do you settle on what you're doing heading 1527 01:18:53,427 --> 01:18:54,267 Speaker 3: to all World Cup? 1528 01:18:55,107 --> 01:18:57,427 Speaker 28: I think you never says well, really, I mean it's 1529 01:18:57,427 --> 01:18:59,427 Speaker 28: different when you look at our great team or most 1530 01:18:59,627 --> 01:19:01,867 Speaker 28: the recent great team of twenty fifteen. We had so 1531 01:19:01,947 --> 01:19:05,307 Speaker 28: many Hall of famers and centurions in that team plus 1532 01:19:05,427 --> 01:19:07,187 Speaker 28: near him on a scudder right. He was brought in 1533 01:19:07,227 --> 01:19:09,467 Speaker 28: at the last second, so he should always be room 1534 01:19:09,507 --> 01:19:14,067 Speaker 28: for bolters, for exciting talent, points of difference right up 1535 01:19:14,147 --> 01:19:17,227 Speaker 28: until World Cup year, and I think we've always had that, 1536 01:19:17,307 --> 01:19:20,067 Speaker 28: you know, Michael Jones in eighty seven right the way through. 1537 01:19:21,187 --> 01:19:23,307 Speaker 28: I think it was you know, Josh Cronford and Andrew 1538 01:19:23,347 --> 01:19:26,667 Speaker 28: Mertens and Glenn Osborne in ninety five. Every World Cup 1539 01:19:26,707 --> 01:19:28,907 Speaker 28: you can name those guys and in fact the ones 1540 01:19:28,947 --> 01:19:31,307 Speaker 28: where we probably haven't done that are the ones we've 1541 01:19:31,347 --> 01:19:35,107 Speaker 28: come undone and haven't read and underperformed. So New Zealand 1542 01:19:35,107 --> 01:19:37,587 Speaker 28: I think we still have incredible talent. Yes, a lot 1543 01:19:37,587 --> 01:19:41,507 Speaker 28: of it's going to NRLs clubs, but that's even more 1544 01:19:41,587 --> 01:19:43,747 Speaker 28: in censive. I think to pick someone who is our 1545 01:19:43,827 --> 01:19:46,467 Speaker 28: version of Henry Pollock and give them a chance in 1546 01:19:46,507 --> 01:19:49,827 Speaker 28: the black Jersey, because watching them be so predestrian is 1547 01:19:49,867 --> 01:19:52,987 Speaker 28: actually a tough watch. I think we are better than that. 1548 01:19:53,067 --> 01:19:54,747 Speaker 28: I do know we've got better talent than that in 1549 01:19:54,827 --> 01:19:55,307 Speaker 28: New Zealand. 1550 01:19:56,027 --> 01:19:59,747 Speaker 3: Then Henry Pollock's a an eye catching rugby player, isn't 1551 01:19:59,747 --> 01:20:01,947 Speaker 3: he He loved Did you see him in the Hawker during 1552 01:20:01,947 --> 01:20:04,347 Speaker 3: the hackery. He loved it, didn't he He was licking. 1553 01:20:04,107 --> 01:20:08,987 Speaker 28: His lips giving a short way after the game photos 1554 01:20:09,027 --> 01:20:12,307 Speaker 28: of the Emiratikhanu. He's a start, He's just an absolute 1555 01:20:12,387 --> 01:20:15,507 Speaker 28: boy band start. I'm not sure which one is your 1556 01:20:15,627 --> 01:20:19,387 Speaker 28: more westlife I think possibly Boyzone. Hard to say, but 1557 01:20:20,147 --> 01:20:22,707 Speaker 28: the one thing is that this England team will get 1558 01:20:22,747 --> 01:20:25,427 Speaker 28: better if Hoskins Statucci goes there. And I think that's 1559 01:20:25,467 --> 01:20:28,827 Speaker 28: the other thing where this All Blacks selection panel has 1560 01:20:28,907 --> 01:20:31,467 Speaker 28: kind of dropped the ball, really is that the handling 1561 01:20:31,507 --> 01:20:35,547 Speaker 28: of the Hoskins Statutu situation and Dalton papa le Because 1562 01:20:35,547 --> 01:20:37,947 Speaker 28: to me, Dalton papal Lei was a proven test player 1563 01:20:38,067 --> 01:20:40,347 Speaker 28: who had shown that over the years. He's a big 1564 01:20:40,387 --> 01:20:42,627 Speaker 28: part of our last World Cup squad, so to drop 1565 01:20:42,707 --> 01:20:44,587 Speaker 28: him completely you have to have a pretty good reason 1566 01:20:44,627 --> 01:20:47,107 Speaker 28: for that, and I don't think it's really good enough. 1567 01:20:48,387 --> 01:20:52,747 Speaker 3: James as always a great summary from you. I think 1568 01:20:52,827 --> 01:20:54,467 Speaker 3: are we done here? Is there anything else you want 1569 01:20:54,507 --> 01:20:56,067 Speaker 3: to add? I don't want to cut you off at 1570 01:20:56,107 --> 01:20:58,427 Speaker 3: the knees. You've got another thirty seconds if you'd like 1571 01:20:58,507 --> 01:20:59,027 Speaker 3: to use it. 1572 01:20:59,627 --> 01:21:02,307 Speaker 28: Oh yes, please. I'd like to say that we're to 1573 01:21:02,387 --> 01:21:06,707 Speaker 28: go down against Columbia and the All White soul really 1574 01:21:06,707 --> 01:21:08,467 Speaker 28: looking forward to that game to sort of, you know, 1575 01:21:08,707 --> 01:21:12,227 Speaker 28: wash away the bad taste of that England win. But hey, 1576 01:21:12,387 --> 01:21:14,587 Speaker 28: congrats to England and don't worry on crowd goes well 1577 01:21:14,587 --> 01:21:18,387 Speaker 28: Topora night, even though we're eternally positive there we will 1578 01:21:18,387 --> 01:21:21,187 Speaker 28: be flipping the desk and provide some kind of sacrifice 1579 01:21:21,187 --> 01:21:23,827 Speaker 28: to the rugby god. So tune in tomorrow at seven. 1580 01:21:24,227 --> 01:21:26,787 Speaker 3: Look forward to it. James, Thanks mate.

As I've said a couple 1589 01:21:46,867 --> 01:21:49,947 Speaker 3: of times, thank you for all of your feedback, your 1590 01:21:49,987 --> 01:21:52,547 Speaker 3: reaction to what happened this morning. No doubt the conversation 1591 01:21:52,587 --> 01:21:56,187 Speaker 3: will continue across the week. One more Test match for 1592 01:21:56,227 --> 01:21:58,787 Speaker 3: the All Blacks this year. It is against Wales in 1593 01:21:58,867 --> 01:22:02,307 Speaker 3: Cardiff next Sunday morning. Again it's a ten past four. 1594 01:22:02,627 --> 01:22:04,547 Speaker 3: These are getting a little bit tough, aren't they? The 1595 01:22:04,547 --> 01:22:07,027 Speaker 3: Island game in Chicago was good, wasn't it? Nine o'clock? 1596 01:22:07,187 --> 01:22:09,027 Speaker 3: You haven't been a sleep and get up and watch 1597 01:22:09,027 --> 01:22:12,387 Speaker 3: the rugby ten pass four is a bit tougher species. 1598 01:22:12,987 --> 01:22:16,307 Speaker 3: Three sundays in a row. Anyway, we'll do it next 1599 01:22:16,347 --> 01:22:19,667 Speaker 3: Sunday when the All Blacks play Wales the final Test 1600 01:22:19,747 --> 01:22:23,907 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty five. After two o'clock we'll pivot away 1601 01:22:23,947 --> 01:22:27,507 Speaker 3: to golf. Daniel Hillier with an eagle on the last 1602 01:22:28,227 --> 01:22:32,107 Speaker 3: overnight at the dp World Tours Finale in Abu Dhabi. 1603 01:22:32,147 --> 01:22:35,587 Speaker 3: He's nine under, four shots off the lead, but crucially 1604 01:22:35,627 --> 01:22:38,187 Speaker 3: for him, still in the mix for that PGA Tour card. 1605 01:22:38,587 --> 01:22:41,387 Speaker 3: It's really complicated to explain what he has to do 1606 01:22:41,907 --> 01:22:44,627 Speaker 3: to get that tour card. It really depends on how 1607 01:22:44,667 --> 01:22:48,027 Speaker 3: he goes and how others go. But we will focus 1608 01:22:48,067 --> 01:22:50,307 Speaker 3: on Daniel Hillier after two. 1609 01:22:51,267 --> 01:22:54,187 Speaker 1: The only place to discuss the biggest four issues on 1610 01:22:54,547 --> 01:22:57,907 Speaker 1: and after field, it's all on Win Jam Sport with 1611 01:22:58,147 --> 01:23:01,027 Speaker 1: Jason pay on your Home of Sport. 1612 01:23:02,427 --> 01:23:09,707 Speaker 3: Or two o six Welcome back or welcome into weekend sport. 1613 01:23:10,907 --> 01:23:13,467 Speaker 3: Let's draw a line under the rugby for this afternoon. 1614 01:23:13,507 --> 01:23:18,227 Speaker 3: Shall we let's move on, let's discuss some other things. 1615 01:23:20,267 --> 01:23:24,587 Speaker 3: I think so, I think so. Daniel Hillyer can we golfer. 1616 01:23:25,347 --> 01:23:27,787 Speaker 3: He's in a type for seventeenth but only four strokes 1617 01:23:27,787 --> 01:23:30,307 Speaker 3: off the lead after three rounds of the season ending 1618 01:23:30,387 --> 01:23:35,947 Speaker 3: DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, still well and truly 1619 01:23:35,987 --> 01:23:39,067 Speaker 3: in the hunt for a PGA Tour card next year. 1620 01:23:40,107 --> 01:23:44,947 Speaker 3: And well, I mean only four back from Rory McElroy, 1621 01:23:44,987 --> 01:23:48,747 Speaker 3: the leader. He was paired with Rory McElroy in the 1622 01:23:48,747 --> 01:23:51,987 Speaker 3: third round Daniel Hill here, and that must have been 1623 01:23:52,387 --> 01:23:57,347 Speaker 3: in itself a challenge, all of that extra exposure and 1624 01:23:57,427 --> 01:24:00,267 Speaker 3: spotlight and the bigger galleries and more television coverage and 1625 01:24:00,307 --> 01:24:02,627 Speaker 3: all that sort of thing when you're paired with a 1626 01:24:02,667 --> 01:24:07,667 Speaker 3: bloke like Rory. He had a chi paunching first half 1627 01:24:07,707 --> 01:24:11,547 Speaker 3: a dozen holes, but then came right, looked after himself 1628 01:24:11,587 --> 01:24:17,027 Speaker 3: and eagled the last. So stays in contention. Jake Carter, 1629 01:24:17,147 --> 01:24:20,707 Speaker 3: national coach with Golf New Zealand Ganuba break it all 1630 01:24:20,707 --> 01:24:23,467 Speaker 3: down for us shortly.

On 1712 01:29:00,827 --> 01:29:05,187 Speaker 1: your home of Sport Weekend Sport with Jason Vine, you talks. 1713 01:29:04,987 --> 01:29:08,747 Speaker 3: It be thirteen and eagle on the last hole has 1714 01:29:08,827 --> 01:29:12,307 Speaker 3: Kiwi Golfer Daniel Hillier four strokes off the lead after 1715 01:29:12,427 --> 01:29:15,707 Speaker 3: three rounds of the season ending DP World Tour Championship 1716 01:29:15,707 --> 01:29:18,747 Speaker 3: in Dubai and still with a PGA Tour card in 1717 01:29:18,787 --> 01:29:22,347 Speaker 3: his sights, Hillia fired and even past seventy two in 1718 01:29:22,387 --> 01:29:25,307 Speaker 3: his third round. He's nine under for the tournament and 1719 01:29:25,507 --> 01:29:29,387 Speaker 3: in seventeenth place. Let's bring in national Coach with Golf 1720 01:29:29,427 --> 01:29:33,867 Speaker 3: New Zealand, Jay Carter who's worked extensively with Daniel Hillier 1721 01:29:33,987 --> 01:29:36,747 Speaker 3: in recent years. Jay, thanks for joining us. How big 1722 01:29:37,187 --> 01:29:40,267 Speaker 3: was that eagle for Dan Hillier to finish his round 1723 01:29:40,267 --> 01:29:41,227 Speaker 3: on eighteen that way? 1724 01:29:41,987 --> 01:29:45,027 Speaker 25: Mate? It was huge both from a performance point of view, 1725 01:29:45,107 --> 01:29:47,147 Speaker 25: like two shots is obviously massive, but I think just 1726 01:29:47,147 --> 01:29:51,227 Speaker 25: from a confidence point of view getting that two further 1727 01:29:51,227 --> 01:29:52,747 Speaker 25: shots up because he had a bit of a rough 1728 01:29:53,507 --> 01:29:55,827 Speaker 25: first few holes, so I think just coming back it'll 1729 01:29:55,827 --> 01:29:56,947 Speaker 25: be a nice way to go to sleep. 1730 01:29:58,027 --> 01:30:02,947 Speaker 3: How do you think he will evaluate his eighteen holes? 1731 01:30:03,667 --> 01:30:05,907 Speaker 25: It's a really good question. I mean it's a tough one. 1732 01:30:05,947 --> 01:30:11,387 Speaker 25: Imagine you hosting a radio show, the best broadcaster of 1733 01:30:11,427 --> 01:30:14,067 Speaker 25: all time, and he you know, you know you're going 1734 01:30:14,147 --> 01:30:16,787 Speaker 25: to be judged by him. So playing with Rory while 1735 01:30:16,827 --> 01:30:19,107 Speaker 25: it was it would be awesome and what an experience. 1736 01:30:19,587 --> 01:30:21,907 Speaker 25: It'd be a tough time to have to play with Rory. 1737 01:30:23,107 --> 01:30:24,987 Speaker 25: You've got all the extra pressure that comes with him, 1738 01:30:26,227 --> 01:30:29,587 Speaker 25: your awareness of him, you're you know, I guess you're 1739 01:30:29,627 --> 01:30:32,107 Speaker 25: being judged. So all of that stuff would have been 1740 01:30:32,107 --> 01:30:35,107 Speaker 25: bloody tough, I reckon. So I think just that start 1741 01:30:35,267 --> 01:30:37,387 Speaker 25: probably threw him a little bit. He had a really 1742 01:30:37,467 --> 01:30:39,827 Speaker 25: tough lie on the second hole, he had hit it 1743 01:30:39,827 --> 01:30:41,067 Speaker 25: in the left rough and got a bit of a 1744 01:30:41,107 --> 01:30:44,747 Speaker 25: flyer over the green and so probably just didn't didn't 1745 01:30:44,747 --> 01:30:46,747 Speaker 25: feel the nerves, maybe as quickly as he might like. 1746 01:30:46,867 --> 01:30:48,907 Speaker 25: But one thing I would say about Dan, and he's 1747 01:30:48,947 --> 01:30:52,307 Speaker 25: got the history of bouncing back, so I don't think 1748 01:30:52,387 --> 01:30:54,427 Speaker 25: it'll put him off massively. I think it'll make him 1749 01:30:54,427 --> 01:30:55,907 Speaker 25: a little bit more determined for tomorrow. 1750 01:30:56,587 --> 01:30:58,787 Speaker 3: It's great analogy. If you ja, if Mike Hoskin was 1751 01:30:58,787 --> 01:31:01,067 Speaker 3: sitting across from me, I'd be nervous as well. I 1752 01:31:01,067 --> 01:31:03,427 Speaker 3: think I'd be very nervous as he would have been. 1753 01:31:03,467 --> 01:31:08,467 Speaker 3: I'm sure with Rory McElroy and all the increased attention 1754 01:31:08,747 --> 01:31:10,787 Speaker 3: on the two of them, he would have been pleased. 1755 01:31:10,787 --> 01:31:12,987 Speaker 3: THO wouldn't. And you talk about bouncing back three bogies 1756 01:31:13,027 --> 01:31:16,747 Speaker 3: and four holes between three and six, how happy will 1757 01:31:16,747 --> 01:31:18,307 Speaker 3: he have been to be able to steady himself and 1758 01:31:18,347 --> 01:31:20,707 Speaker 3: pretty much play par golf from there on. 1759 01:31:22,147 --> 01:31:24,387 Speaker 25: Yeah, he played pretty solidly and there's some opportunities on 1760 01:31:24,387 --> 01:31:26,747 Speaker 25: that course, but it is one of those courses where 1761 01:31:26,747 --> 01:31:30,987 Speaker 25: if you get out of position, you're battling from the 1762 01:31:31,027 --> 01:31:32,587 Speaker 25: get go. It's long. I mean, Dan's one of the 1763 01:31:32,587 --> 01:31:36,227 Speaker 25: longest drivers on tour. He's pretty impressive ball striking this week. 1764 01:31:36,267 --> 01:31:39,587 Speaker 25: Even as ball striking, you know, he's one of the 1765 01:31:39,627 --> 01:31:41,627 Speaker 25: longest and the most accurate out there off the tea, 1766 01:31:41,627 --> 01:31:44,147 Speaker 25: and so that stands them in good stead. Yesterday I 1767 01:31:44,187 --> 01:31:46,427 Speaker 25: think he probably just I mean the first two days 1768 01:31:46,427 --> 01:31:48,587 Speaker 25: obviously he played great, and then yesterday probably just didn't 1769 01:31:48,667 --> 01:31:50,947 Speaker 25: hit it quite close and I still had a lot 1770 01:31:50,947 --> 01:31:53,707 Speaker 25: of greens, but probably just slightly out of position from 1771 01:31:53,707 --> 01:31:56,787 Speaker 25: time to time. But I mean, what a good day 1772 01:31:56,787 --> 01:31:58,187 Speaker 25: to do it, because he's still got another chance, and 1773 01:31:58,187 --> 01:32:00,667 Speaker 25: he's still got another crack at that PJA Tour card Tomorrow. 1774 01:32:00,987 --> 01:32:03,187 Speaker 3: Absolutely we'll talk about that in a secon having had 1775 01:32:03,227 --> 01:32:07,107 Speaker 3: those bogies. He gets to six and he's had three bogies, 1776 01:32:07,147 --> 01:32:09,787 Speaker 3: as I say, in four holes, would he have been 1777 01:32:10,307 --> 01:32:13,827 Speaker 3: more cautious, would have been you know, less likely to 1778 01:32:13,867 --> 01:32:17,507 Speaker 3: take risks to chase birdies from there? 1779 01:32:18,227 --> 01:32:21,947 Speaker 25: I wouldn't think his game plan would change massively. Those 1780 01:32:21,947 --> 01:32:24,307 Speaker 25: courses are set up so tough. That's probably one thing 1781 01:32:24,467 --> 01:32:28,467 Speaker 25: that I didn't even appreciate. I went over with Dan 1782 01:32:29,027 --> 01:32:31,987 Speaker 25: and Kazuma to the Irish Open and watching it on TV, 1783 01:32:31,987 --> 01:32:34,307 Speaker 25: it looks quite easy. But when you see it live. Man. 1784 01:32:34,347 --> 01:32:37,227 Speaker 25: They set up so tough, so your sort of your 1785 01:32:37,227 --> 01:32:38,187 Speaker 25: hands forced a little bit. 1786 01:32:38,227 --> 01:32:38,627 Speaker 8: In terms of. 1787 01:32:38,627 --> 01:32:40,907 Speaker 25: Strategy, you can't really be more aggressive because you can 1788 01:32:40,947 --> 01:32:43,267 Speaker 25: just come up stuck so quickly. So I suspect a 1789 01:32:43,347 --> 01:32:46,107 Speaker 25: strategy would have changed. She's got an awesome caddy on 1790 01:32:46,147 --> 01:32:49,507 Speaker 25: the bag and Henry. Henry would have kept him pretty 1791 01:32:49,547 --> 01:32:52,787 Speaker 25: level headed and just you know, going back to that 1792 01:32:52,947 --> 01:32:57,427 Speaker 25: stick to your process. Golf's the game of well, I 1793 01:32:57,427 --> 01:33:00,987 Speaker 25: wouldn't say luck, but you know, you get positive and 1794 01:33:01,067 --> 01:33:03,707 Speaker 25: negative variance. And so sometimes you had a shot and 1795 01:33:03,787 --> 01:33:05,267 Speaker 25: you push it, but the pen happens to be on 1796 01:33:05,307 --> 01:33:07,147 Speaker 25: the right and those close, and sometimes you pull it 1797 01:33:07,147 --> 01:33:08,747 Speaker 25: and depends on the left and it goes close. So 1798 01:33:09,227 --> 01:33:11,227 Speaker 25: I think he had just even in those days. You 1799 01:33:11,347 --> 01:33:13,827 Speaker 25: just got to be patient and that variance will working 1800 01:33:13,987 --> 01:33:15,307 Speaker 25: towards your favor at some point. 1801 01:33:16,027 --> 01:33:19,107 Speaker 3: This is a course where there are obviously birdies out there. 1802 01:33:19,147 --> 01:33:22,387 Speaker 3: It's low scoring for those obviously who are doing well there. 1803 01:33:22,427 --> 01:33:24,547 Speaker 3: And Dan, you know, five under in the first round, 1804 01:33:24,587 --> 01:33:26,987 Speaker 3: four under in the second round. There are birdies out 1805 01:33:26,987 --> 01:33:30,467 Speaker 3: there for him, What does he need to do especially 1806 01:33:30,507 --> 01:33:33,747 Speaker 3: well in the fourth round to challenge for a top 1807 01:33:33,747 --> 01:33:34,947 Speaker 3: ten finish? In this tournament. 1808 01:33:36,027 --> 01:33:38,907 Speaker 25: Well, he's one of the longest and most acurosity, so 1809 01:33:38,947 --> 01:33:41,787 Speaker 25: if he can nail that combination and then make some 1810 01:33:41,827 --> 01:33:44,947 Speaker 25: good decisions in there, that's the last round of There's 1811 01:33:44,947 --> 01:33:46,547 Speaker 25: so much to play for in this round. For a 1812 01:33:46,587 --> 01:33:49,427 Speaker 25: lot of those guys that you know, the top ten 1813 01:33:49,427 --> 01:33:52,107 Speaker 25: who aren't already exempt to get a PGA Tour card 1814 01:33:52,147 --> 01:33:54,867 Speaker 25: on the US Tour next year, that's just massive and 1815 01:33:54,907 --> 01:33:56,827 Speaker 25: they're all striving for that. So there'll be guys that 1816 01:33:56,827 --> 01:33:58,947 Speaker 25: won't handle that particularly well, and there'll be guys that 1817 01:33:58,987 --> 01:34:01,227 Speaker 25: do handle it particularly well. One of the guys that 1818 01:34:01,307 --> 01:34:04,747 Speaker 25: was a headed down on the list, Jordan Smith, didn't 1819 01:34:04,747 --> 01:34:06,667 Speaker 25: have a great first two rounds, but then he's eight 1820 01:34:06,747 --> 01:34:10,947 Speaker 25: under sixty four yesterday, so there's going to be some 1821 01:34:11,027 --> 01:34:12,907 Speaker 25: jost thing for positions. So I think Dan's got to 1822 01:34:13,227 --> 01:34:16,307 Speaker 25: probably leank on Henry a bit, stay patient. He's good enough. 1823 01:34:16,347 --> 01:34:19,547 Speaker 25: I've had about three or four coaches who work on 1824 01:34:19,667 --> 01:34:23,427 Speaker 25: tour reach out and just talk how impressive Dan is 1825 01:34:23,547 --> 01:34:26,427 Speaker 25: as both of the young men but also as a 1826 01:34:26,427 --> 01:34:28,987 Speaker 25: golfer and as a ball striker, and how impressive he's 1827 01:34:28,987 --> 01:34:30,787 Speaker 25: been at the back half of the year. So he's 1828 01:34:30,787 --> 01:34:32,467 Speaker 25: got a lot of people rooting for him over there. 1829 01:34:32,867 --> 01:34:36,067 Speaker 3: So as you've outlined the PGA Tour card, he has 1830 01:34:36,107 --> 01:34:38,667 Speaker 3: to finish in the I think is it the top ten, 1831 01:34:38,707 --> 01:34:41,187 Speaker 3: top twelve, or certainly up near the top of the 1832 01:34:41,227 --> 01:34:45,467 Speaker 3: non exempt golfers. So how tempting would it be for 1833 01:34:45,547 --> 01:34:48,667 Speaker 3: him to keep an eye on others? And how unhelpful 1834 01:34:48,747 --> 01:34:52,107 Speaker 3: might there be if he keeps eyes on other golfers 1835 01:34:52,107 --> 01:34:54,747 Speaker 3: and how they're going and doesn't give full focus to 1836 01:34:54,787 --> 01:34:55,347 Speaker 3: his own game. 1837 01:34:56,387 --> 01:34:58,507 Speaker 25: Yeah, it wouldn't be helpful at all. And I think 1838 01:34:58,507 --> 01:35:01,147 Speaker 25: the thing is it's so complex that I don't think 1839 01:35:01,147 --> 01:35:02,947 Speaker 25: he'll be able to He wouldn't be able to keep up. 1840 01:35:03,067 --> 01:35:05,747 Speaker 25: He could see the leader boards, but there's probably about 1841 01:35:05,907 --> 01:35:10,667 Speaker 25: five or six guys jostling for position. That's not simply 1842 01:35:10,667 --> 01:35:13,227 Speaker 25: where you finish, it's where you finish relative to other people. 1843 01:35:13,787 --> 01:35:17,227 Speaker 25: So it's probably the good thing is it's probably too 1844 01:35:17,227 --> 01:35:19,427 Speaker 25: complicate that actually be trying to work out while you're 1845 01:35:19,427 --> 01:35:21,427 Speaker 25: out there, and he won't have enough access to that. 1846 01:35:21,427 --> 01:35:25,027 Speaker 25: He'll see leaderboards, but the leaderboard generally speaking, shows the 1847 01:35:25,067 --> 01:35:28,627 Speaker 25: top couple of pages, and you an really know what's 1848 01:35:28,667 --> 01:35:30,747 Speaker 25: going on behind that, and you don't really want to 1849 01:35:30,787 --> 01:35:31,587 Speaker 25: be distracted by. 1850 01:35:31,547 --> 01:35:33,787 Speaker 3: That, absolutely no, I know, you just just focus on 1851 01:35:33,827 --> 01:35:36,547 Speaker 3: your own game, don't you. How big would it be 1852 01:35:36,747 --> 01:35:40,467 Speaker 3: if he was able to gain himself a PGA Tour card. 1853 01:35:41,707 --> 01:35:44,627 Speaker 25: It'd be huge because I think the PGA Tour would 1854 01:35:44,707 --> 01:35:47,547 Speaker 25: suit Dan really well, like he's an impressive ball striker, 1855 01:35:48,387 --> 01:35:53,027 Speaker 25: controls his flight really well. It's a long obviously, the 1856 01:35:53,667 --> 01:35:55,987 Speaker 25: best players in the world are probably playing on that tour, 1857 01:35:55,987 --> 01:35:58,227 Speaker 25: which is why they now give those ten cards away. 1858 01:35:58,827 --> 01:36:01,147 Speaker 25: He'd be back with Foxy, who I know. Those two 1859 01:36:01,147 --> 01:36:02,867 Speaker 25: get on really well and spend a lot of time together, 1860 01:36:02,867 --> 01:36:04,667 Speaker 25: and it'd be cool for golf of New Zealand to go. 1861 01:36:05,347 --> 01:36:08,147 Speaker 25: You know, imagine having two players on the PGA Tour. 1862 01:36:08,907 --> 01:36:10,227 Speaker 25: Haven't had that for a while. And then we've got 1863 01:36:10,267 --> 01:36:13,947 Speaker 25: Kazuma on the dp Tour, and we've got some Fia 1864 01:36:13,987 --> 01:36:15,707 Speaker 25: and his jew's just spent a year on the LPGA 1865 01:36:15,787 --> 01:36:18,227 Speaker 25: this year with Lydia. We've got a couple of girls 1866 01:36:18,267 --> 01:36:21,147 Speaker 25: on the Ladies European Tour, my Mirka Kabori, Kazuma's sister, 1867 01:36:21,387 --> 01:36:24,267 Speaker 25: and Amelia Garvey. So it's pretty cool for New Zealand, 1868 01:36:24,347 --> 01:36:26,947 Speaker 25: not just obviously Dan giving a PGA Tour cut, but 1869 01:36:27,147 --> 01:36:29,427 Speaker 25: that that would be icing on the cake for sure. 1870 01:36:29,907 --> 01:36:32,027 Speaker 3: And just back to the mental side of the game, Jay, 1871 01:36:32,107 --> 01:36:33,907 Speaker 3: you know you can. You can coach a player as 1872 01:36:33,987 --> 01:36:35,507 Speaker 3: much as you like in terms of the way they 1873 01:36:35,587 --> 01:36:38,827 Speaker 3: drive the ball, the way they part everything in between. 1874 01:36:39,027 --> 01:36:43,307 Speaker 3: But how much of it is mental On the biggest 1875 01:36:43,307 --> 01:36:44,227 Speaker 3: stage like this. 1876 01:36:45,347 --> 01:36:48,507 Speaker 25: Oh, it's massive. Dan does a great job in that 1877 01:36:48,587 --> 01:36:51,147 Speaker 25: space too. Like I said before, like his ability to 1878 01:36:51,187 --> 01:36:54,107 Speaker 25: bounce back is huge. I remember I think his last 1879 01:36:54,107 --> 01:36:56,267 Speaker 25: tournament as an amateur, he had a shock run like 1880 01:36:56,307 --> 01:36:59,027 Speaker 25: eighty three in the second round, I mean sixty five 1881 01:36:59,107 --> 01:37:00,827 Speaker 25: or sixty six the next day, so he's got evidence 1882 01:37:00,867 --> 01:37:04,267 Speaker 25: that he can do it. His boning language has also, 1883 01:37:04,827 --> 01:37:07,507 Speaker 25: It's something I used coaching younger players. Now they use 1884 01:37:07,587 --> 01:37:10,147 Speaker 25: videos and photos of Dan. If you look at him 1885 01:37:10,147 --> 01:37:12,627 Speaker 25: when he's doing an interview, he's always like in a 1886 01:37:12,707 --> 01:37:14,907 Speaker 25: Superman pos His chest is always up and out, his 1887 01:37:14,947 --> 01:37:16,827 Speaker 25: eyes are always up. So even little things like that, 1888 01:37:16,987 --> 01:37:20,027 Speaker 25: whether that's intentional or not, I think the body language 1889 01:37:20,067 --> 01:37:22,747 Speaker 25: can lead to some of that positive reinforcement, and he 1890 01:37:22,787 --> 01:37:25,267 Speaker 25: does a great job of that. If it was anyone, 1891 01:37:25,987 --> 01:37:28,187 Speaker 25: if you wanted anyone playing in the final round for 1892 01:37:28,267 --> 01:37:31,547 Speaker 25: your life, Jase from New Zealand. You Dan Hillary would be. 1893 01:37:31,547 --> 01:37:34,307 Speaker 3: Well up there, great stuff. Well, can't wait to see 1894 01:37:34,307 --> 01:37:36,547 Speaker 3: how it goes tonight for him in a really big 1895 01:37:36,627 --> 01:37:38,627 Speaker 3: round in the context of his career. Just I mean 1896 01:37:38,627 --> 01:37:40,987 Speaker 3: worst case scenario. If he doesn't get the PGA to 1897 01:37:41,067 --> 01:37:43,187 Speaker 3: a card, he's back on the DP world too next 1898 01:37:43,267 --> 01:37:46,347 Speaker 3: year again, isn't he That wouldn't be the worst possible outcome. 1899 01:37:47,187 --> 01:37:50,907 Speaker 25: No, it'd be awesome. He'll get into all the rollings events. 1900 01:37:51,947 --> 01:37:53,747 Speaker 25: He'll be one of the big dogs. He knows that 1901 01:37:53,787 --> 01:37:55,867 Speaker 25: he can do it because he was close last year. 1902 01:37:56,987 --> 01:37:58,587 Speaker 25: You know, if he doesn't get it, he's close again 1903 01:37:58,667 --> 01:38:01,067 Speaker 25: this year, so there'll be enough evidence for him to 1904 01:38:01,107 --> 01:38:03,947 Speaker 25: go I can do it and he loves it out here. 1905 01:38:03,987 --> 01:38:07,027 Speaker 3: True Jake, great to chet your thanks so much for 1906 01:38:07,147 --> 01:38:08,827 Speaker 3: giving us the insight. As I say, can't wait to 1907 01:38:08,827 --> 01:38:10,747 Speaker 3: see how Dan goes in the fourth round tonight. Thanks 1908 01:38:10,747 --> 01:38:13,747 Speaker 3: for taking out call. Excuse no, thank you mate. That 1909 01:38:13,827 --> 01:38:16,507 Speaker 3: is Jake Carter, our national coach with Golf New Zealand 1910 01:38:16,547 --> 01:38:19,787 Speaker 3: and a coach who's worked very closely with Daniel Hilly 1911 01:38:19,787 --> 01:38:22,907 Speaker 3: are down the years, so nine under the car. That's 1912 01:38:22,907 --> 01:38:25,867 Speaker 3: how we started. The day I was keeping eyes on 1913 01:38:25,987 --> 01:38:28,467 Speaker 3: Dan Hilly last night watching him, and he did have 1914 01:38:28,507 --> 01:38:31,587 Speaker 3: some early struggles, to say, three bogies in the space 1915 01:38:31,627 --> 01:38:34,347 Speaker 3: of four holes early in his round, but then he 1916 01:38:34,387 --> 01:38:36,347 Speaker 3: came right and I woke up this morning I did 1917 01:38:36,587 --> 01:38:38,867 Speaker 3: quite make it through to the end of his round live. 1918 01:38:38,987 --> 01:38:42,507 Speaker 3: And to find him having eagled the eighteenth what a 1919 01:38:42,547 --> 01:38:44,307 Speaker 3: boost for him, And as Jay said, what a good 1920 01:38:44,347 --> 01:38:46,907 Speaker 3: way to go to sleep. So you're basically nine under, 1921 01:38:46,907 --> 01:38:50,067 Speaker 3: you're only four shots back from the lead. When he 1922 01:38:50,107 --> 01:38:53,027 Speaker 3: started his third round he was only three shots back 1923 01:38:53,027 --> 01:38:54,547 Speaker 3: from the lead. He was nine under and the leaders 1924 01:38:54,547 --> 01:38:57,827 Speaker 3: were at twelve. So not a lot has changed, really, 1925 01:38:58,867 --> 01:39:07,747 Speaker 3: And this equation around which PGA Tour card could be 1926 01:39:07,867 --> 01:39:11,027 Speaker 3: his is really out of his hands. He can't keep 1927 01:39:11,067 --> 01:39:14,027 Speaker 3: eyes on what others are doing. He can't see where 1928 01:39:14,027 --> 01:39:16,467 Speaker 3: he is relative to the others who are also seeking 1929 01:39:16,507 --> 01:39:21,507 Speaker 3: that elusive and yet so valuable PGA Tour card. All 1930 01:39:21,547 --> 01:39:23,947 Speaker 3: he can do, Dan Hilly is what he always does. 1931 01:39:24,067 --> 01:39:27,107 Speaker 3: It's play the best eighteen holes he can. That's it, 1932 01:39:27,347 --> 01:39:29,627 Speaker 3: simple as that, and he's shown on this course that 1933 01:39:29,627 --> 01:39:31,987 Speaker 3: he's capable of doing it. Five under in the first round, 1934 01:39:32,067 --> 01:39:36,107 Speaker 3: four under in the second, another eighteen holes and who 1935 01:39:36,187 --> 01:39:39,267 Speaker 3: knows where he might turn up. Kazumi Kobori is the 1936 01:39:39,307 --> 01:39:41,947 Speaker 3: other key we in the field. He is six under. 1937 01:39:42,547 --> 01:39:45,387 Speaker 3: Kabori's underway at around six point thirty five tonight in 1938 01:39:45,427 --> 01:39:48,707 Speaker 3: New Zealand time. Dan Hilly will go about an hour 1939 01:39:48,787 --> 01:39:52,667 Speaker 3: after that. He is seventeenth, but as I say, only 1940 01:39:52,707 --> 01:39:58,547 Speaker 3: four shots back from the lead. Rory McElroy and Rasmus 1941 01:39:58,787 --> 01:40:03,427 Speaker 3: near Guard Peterson are the joint leaders at thirteen under. 1942 01:40:03,787 --> 01:40:06,507 Speaker 3: Bunch of pliers at twelve and eleven under and ten 1943 01:40:06,587 --> 01:40:08,387 Speaker 3: under as well as Yes, a tightly packed field well 1944 01:40:08,427 --> 01:40:12,547 Speaker 3: six sixteen players from thirteen under down to ten under. 1945 01:40:12,947 --> 01:40:15,507 Speaker 3: So it's anybody's tournament. Dan Hilly at tucked in there 1946 01:40:15,907 --> 01:40:19,027 Speaker 3: at nine under the card. Let's have a look at 1947 01:40:19,027 --> 01:40:21,787 Speaker 3: the cricket fourteen without lost New Zealand through Is there 1948 01:40:21,907 --> 01:40:25,187 Speaker 3: five overs, five overs, fourteen without loss or my eyes 1949 01:40:25,227 --> 01:40:28,627 Speaker 3: deceiving me, No, they're not. So a relatively sedate start 1950 01:40:29,227 --> 01:40:32,467 Speaker 3: for Devin Conway and Ruch and Revendra at Hagley Oval. 1951 01:40:32,507 --> 01:40:34,667 Speaker 3: It is fifty over game, not a T twenty after all, 1952 01:40:34,667 --> 01:40:39,227 Speaker 3: but Conway ten not out.

Ryan Archieboard is the 1972 01:41:48,427 --> 01:41:53,307 Speaker 3: New Zealand Olympic Committee's Team Services Director. He joins us now, Ryan, 1973 01:41:53,347 --> 01:41:55,907 Speaker 3: thanks for your time. What are your overall thoughts, first 1974 01:41:55,947 --> 01:41:58,827 Speaker 3: of all on the schedule for twenty twenty eight. 1975 01:42:00,387 --> 01:42:04,067 Speaker 31: Good a Piney. The schedule is extensive, you know, more 1976 01:42:04,107 --> 01:42:09,107 Speaker 31: sports than we're at the Paris Games, and to me, 1977 01:42:09,147 --> 01:42:12,627 Speaker 31: it's really exciting and it's fantastic that LA twenty eight 1978 01:42:12,707 --> 01:42:16,747 Speaker 31: have released such detailed information so early in the piece 1979 01:42:17,187 --> 01:42:21,347 Speaker 31: just makes I guess builds excitement but also makes planning 1980 01:42:21,347 --> 01:42:24,987 Speaker 31: for us here at MZOC and our sports that much easier. 1981 01:42:25,067 --> 01:42:27,107 Speaker 3: I was going to ask that because and you'll be 1982 01:42:27,147 --> 01:42:30,387 Speaker 3: able to confirm this. It seems like this information is available, 1983 01:42:30,587 --> 01:42:33,627 Speaker 3: you know, quite quite a way out. Is this earlier 1984 01:42:33,667 --> 01:42:34,307 Speaker 3: than usual? 1985 01:42:35,627 --> 01:42:36,707 Speaker 4: It is earlier than usual. 1986 01:42:37,467 --> 01:42:37,587 Speaker 7: You know. 1987 01:42:37,587 --> 01:42:40,147 Speaker 31: I had the benefit of being in LA spending some 1988 01:42:40,187 --> 01:42:44,067 Speaker 31: time with the organizing committee in May this year, and 1989 01:42:44,147 --> 01:42:46,147 Speaker 31: I was really impressed with how advanced they are with 1990 01:42:46,187 --> 01:42:48,467 Speaker 31: their planning. And I think a lot of that is 1991 01:42:48,467 --> 01:42:52,987 Speaker 31: actually driven by the commercial realities of this games. There's 1992 01:42:52,987 --> 01:42:55,747 Speaker 31: no public money as I understand it, going into the 1993 01:42:55,747 --> 01:42:58,667 Speaker 31: the LA Games, so you know, the organizing committee are 1994 01:42:58,707 --> 01:43:02,907 Speaker 31: really driven to generate revenue, so they're wanting to put 1995 01:43:02,947 --> 01:43:05,467 Speaker 31: things in place early so that they can sell tickets, 1996 01:43:05,507 --> 01:43:07,427 Speaker 31: get sponsors on board, and what have you. So I 1997 01:43:07,427 --> 01:43:09,547 Speaker 31: think that that commercial reality is driving a lot of 1998 01:43:09,547 --> 01:43:10,587 Speaker 31: this early action. 1999 01:43:11,067 --> 01:43:13,667 Speaker 3: One of the main talking points is the swapping of 2000 01:43:13,787 --> 01:43:16,867 Speaker 3: swimming and track and field. Traditionally, swimming takes place in 2001 01:43:16,907 --> 01:43:19,027 Speaker 3: the first week of the Olympics and then track and 2002 01:43:19,067 --> 01:43:22,107 Speaker 3: field in the second week. They flip that. Why have 2003 01:43:22,227 --> 01:43:22,747 Speaker 3: they done that? 2004 01:43:24,467 --> 01:43:29,227 Speaker 31: I think the reason for that is the venues the stadium. So, 2005 01:43:29,227 --> 01:43:33,947 Speaker 31: so swimming is going to be in an NFL stadium 2006 01:43:33,987 --> 01:43:36,787 Speaker 31: if you can believe that. So the Sofi Stadium, which 2007 01:43:36,867 --> 01:43:40,347 Speaker 31: is home to the La Rams, the organizing committee are 2008 01:43:40,387 --> 01:43:43,427 Speaker 31: going to put two Olympic sized swimming pools in that stadium, 2009 01:43:43,947 --> 01:43:47,187 Speaker 31: and so I think that move to have swimming in 2010 01:43:47,187 --> 01:43:51,987 Speaker 31: that venue is driving the change between swimming and athletics. So, yes, 2011 01:43:52,027 --> 01:43:56,227 Speaker 31: something different, something new for the Olympic Games. But I 2012 01:43:56,267 --> 01:43:58,387 Speaker 31: think the fact that, you know, putting swimming in an 2013 01:43:58,427 --> 01:44:02,587 Speaker 31: NFL stadium is going to be quite an exciting thing. 2014 01:44:02,587 --> 01:44:05,987 Speaker 31: It's going to allow for bigger crowds and a really 2015 01:44:05,987 --> 01:44:08,987 Speaker 31: innovation of way of going about delivering swimming for games. 2016 01:44:09,267 --> 01:44:11,787 Speaker 3: So just the clarity that could have happened in the 2017 01:44:11,827 --> 01:44:14,427 Speaker 3: first week. But is it also around the fact that 2018 01:44:14,427 --> 01:44:16,947 Speaker 3: they want to use that stadium for the opening ceremony 2019 01:44:17,027 --> 01:44:17,587 Speaker 3: or part of it. 2020 01:44:18,547 --> 01:44:20,987 Speaker 31: Yeah, I think that that certainly affectors into it. So 2021 01:44:21,627 --> 01:44:24,147 Speaker 31: the opening ceremony is going to be in two stadiums. 2022 01:44:24,187 --> 01:44:27,147 Speaker 31: It will be partly in Sofi Stadium and also in 2023 01:44:27,187 --> 01:44:31,907 Speaker 31: the coliseum, which held the opening ceremony for the previous 2024 01:44:32,107 --> 01:44:35,147 Speaker 31: time LA hosted the Olympics. Yeah, so I guess there's 2025 01:44:35,187 --> 01:44:39,547 Speaker 31: some logistical things that need to happen around that. Hints, hints, 2026 01:44:39,547 --> 01:44:42,067 Speaker 31: swimming has been been pushed back to the second half 2027 01:44:42,067 --> 01:44:42,547 Speaker 31: of the games. 2028 01:44:42,627 --> 01:44:45,467 Speaker 3: All right, Well, look forward to seeing how that affects 2029 01:44:45,787 --> 01:44:47,707 Speaker 3: or you know, what it changes in terms of our 2030 01:44:47,707 --> 01:44:50,307 Speaker 3: swimmers and our track and field athletes as they build 2031 01:44:50,387 --> 01:44:54,507 Speaker 3: towards the Games. What is your overall brief Ryan? As 2032 01:44:54,587 --> 01:44:56,747 Speaker 3: Team Services director, what is your job? 2033 01:44:58,307 --> 01:45:02,347 Speaker 31: So, my role in a nutshell is to plan and 2034 01:45:02,467 --> 01:45:06,627 Speaker 31: prepare the team for the games and to kind of 2035 01:45:06,667 --> 01:45:10,867 Speaker 31: execute the delivery of the team at games. And really 2036 01:45:10,947 --> 01:45:14,587 Speaker 31: when we think about delivering attends to games, it's about 2037 01:45:14,627 --> 01:45:17,867 Speaker 31: taking care of the Olympic overlay. Kind of the operations logistics, 2038 01:45:18,467 --> 01:45:22,507 Speaker 31: but it's also ensuring that that we create a performance 2039 01:45:22,587 --> 01:45:24,867 Speaker 31: environment at the games so that when our sports come in, 2040 01:45:24,947 --> 01:45:28,427 Speaker 31: when our athletes, coaches and what have you arrived at 2041 01:45:28,427 --> 01:45:31,107 Speaker 31: the games, they can just get on and do what 2042 01:45:31,147 --> 01:45:33,507 Speaker 31: they do best without having to worry about all that 2043 01:45:33,547 --> 01:45:35,587 Speaker 31: comes with a huge event like the Olympics. 2044 01:45:35,947 --> 01:45:39,067 Speaker 3: What are the main challenges you face in executing your role? 2045 01:45:40,547 --> 01:45:43,387 Speaker 25: Well, I think the context for each games is different, 2046 01:45:43,387 --> 01:45:48,947 Speaker 25: so the environment you're going into is different. Challenges can 2047 01:45:48,987 --> 01:45:51,347 Speaker 25: be can be plentiful. That can range from I guess 2048 01:45:51,347 --> 01:45:57,347 Speaker 25: the geographic dispersion of of sports across the city or 2049 01:45:57,387 --> 01:46:00,987 Speaker 25: across a country. You know, for example, Los Angeles, there's 2050 01:46:00,987 --> 01:46:03,547 Speaker 25: a couple of sports that are actually going to be 2051 01:46:03,587 --> 01:46:05,947 Speaker 25: based in Oklahoma, which is a four hour flights away 2052 01:46:05,947 --> 01:46:09,427 Speaker 25: from Los Angeles. We've got to make sure that we get, 2053 01:46:10,707 --> 01:46:12,547 Speaker 25: you know, all of our teams that are competing, all 2054 01:46:12,587 --> 01:46:15,787 Speaker 25: of our individual athletes, our teams to the games. So 2055 01:46:15,827 --> 01:46:19,467 Speaker 25: there's a really big logistical component behind delivering the team 2056 01:46:19,547 --> 01:46:22,067 Speaker 25: for games, so that you know, those are just just 2057 01:46:22,107 --> 01:46:24,747 Speaker 25: a few of the challenges, but it varies depending on 2058 01:46:24,787 --> 01:46:25,227 Speaker 25: the location. 2059 01:46:25,827 --> 01:46:27,987 Speaker 3: And twenty twenty eight does seem like a way way off, 2060 01:46:27,987 --> 01:46:30,507 Speaker 3: but I'm sure you've got it sort of all planned 2061 01:46:30,547 --> 01:46:33,547 Speaker 3: out to the day between now in July of twenty 2062 01:46:33,587 --> 01:46:36,427 Speaker 3: twenty eight. What are the key landmarks for you between 2063 01:46:36,867 --> 01:46:38,787 Speaker 3: now and then, in particular over the next year to 2064 01:46:38,787 --> 01:46:39,587 Speaker 3: eighteen months or so. 2065 01:46:40,787 --> 01:46:43,107 Speaker 31: Yeah, I mean it's interesting. So, you know, planning for 2066 01:46:44,187 --> 01:46:46,787 Speaker 31: a pinnacle event like the Olympics, you know we're starting, 2067 01:46:47,147 --> 01:46:51,027 Speaker 31: you know, three to four years out. We've already you know, 2068 01:46:51,107 --> 01:46:56,627 Speaker 31: locked in additional accommodations. The Olympic village is going to 2069 01:46:56,627 --> 01:46:59,827 Speaker 31: be at UCLA, but that never has enough beds through everybody, 2070 01:46:59,867 --> 01:47:02,347 Speaker 31: so we're already looking to see what we can provide 2071 01:47:02,707 --> 01:47:05,387 Speaker 31: around that area for the team. But we've also got 2072 01:47:05,427 --> 01:47:09,947 Speaker 31: a number of other events before Los Angeles. So while 2073 01:47:09,987 --> 01:47:12,627 Speaker 31: we're kind of ticking some Los Angeles milestones off, we've 2074 01:47:12,627 --> 01:47:15,627 Speaker 31: still got the Winter Olympics to deliver next year, We've 2075 01:47:15,627 --> 01:47:18,267 Speaker 31: got the Commonwealth Games to deliver next year, and also 2076 01:47:18,267 --> 01:47:21,827 Speaker 31: we used Olympics later in twenty twenty six, so it's 2077 01:47:21,867 --> 01:47:25,067 Speaker 31: kind of never stops really for us at INSIDOC when 2078 01:47:25,067 --> 01:47:28,187 Speaker 31: it comes to planning and delivering games, and so we 2079 01:47:28,307 --> 01:47:32,067 Speaker 31: kind of you know, Los Angeles obviously being incredibly important. 2080 01:47:32,107 --> 01:47:33,347 Speaker 31: We kind of just sort of add that to the 2081 01:47:33,747 --> 01:47:35,107 Speaker 31: menu of things that we're working on. 2082 01:47:35,467 --> 01:47:38,627 Speaker 3: Do you even start thinking about twenty thirty two yet 2083 01:47:38,867 --> 01:47:39,067 Speaker 3: or not? 2084 01:47:41,827 --> 01:47:43,187 Speaker 9: Yes, in a sense we are. 2085 01:47:43,907 --> 01:47:48,347 Speaker 31: We're thinking about twenty twenty to twenty thirty two more 2086 01:47:48,427 --> 01:47:54,387 Speaker 31: from a probably a commercial perspective, So INSIDOC has some 2087 01:47:54,467 --> 01:47:58,627 Speaker 31: operations and building up our kind of support on the 2088 01:47:58,667 --> 01:48:01,027 Speaker 31: ground in twenty thirty two in terms of how we 2089 01:48:01,067 --> 01:48:07,187 Speaker 31: fund the team, you know where we're largely commercially thundered organization, 2090 01:48:08,147 --> 01:48:12,107 Speaker 31: so we do think, you know, several cycles ahead in 2091 01:48:12,187 --> 01:48:15,467 Speaker 31: terms of I guess how sustainability is an organization and 2092 01:48:15,507 --> 01:48:17,067 Speaker 31: how we will fund teams? 2093 01:48:17,067 --> 01:48:17,667 Speaker 35: Two games? 2094 01:48:17,787 --> 01:48:20,907 Speaker 3: All right, Well, it is, as I say, a little 2095 01:48:20,947 --> 01:48:22,387 Speaker 3: way off, but it's going to rush up. And in 2096 01:48:22,387 --> 01:48:25,747 Speaker 3: true American fashion, they love doing things on a large scale, 2097 01:48:25,787 --> 01:48:27,867 Speaker 3: don't they. As you say, a couple of Olympic sized 2098 01:48:27,867 --> 01:48:32,587 Speaker 3: swimming pools inside a NFL stadium opening ceremony across two 2099 01:48:32,787 --> 01:48:36,747 Speaker 3: different venues. Are you aware of other sort of innovations 2100 01:48:36,747 --> 01:48:40,587 Speaker 3: that the organizing committee have planned for us for twenty twenty. 2101 01:48:40,347 --> 01:48:43,747 Speaker 31: Eight All they do certainly like to do it, but 2102 01:48:44,067 --> 01:48:47,547 Speaker 31: I know, I'm sure I'll be keeping a few surprises 2103 01:48:48,027 --> 01:48:50,947 Speaker 31: under apps, but you know, from what I've seen to date, 2104 01:48:52,427 --> 01:48:56,267 Speaker 31: you know, LA's blessed with some fantastic facilities. You know, 2105 01:48:56,387 --> 01:49:01,387 Speaker 31: has a number of existing professional professional franchises with stadiums, 2106 01:49:01,387 --> 01:49:04,627 Speaker 31: so the facilities are going to be absolutely brilliant. So 2107 01:49:05,227 --> 01:49:07,587 Speaker 31: you know, my expectation is that it'll be a really 2108 01:49:07,627 --> 01:49:11,187 Speaker 31: slick games and provide a great experience for throw athletes 2109 01:49:11,187 --> 01:49:13,427 Speaker 31: who are competing. But also you know, I guess the 2110 01:49:13,747 --> 01:49:16,227 Speaker 31: hundreds of New Zealanders that will be there to support 2111 01:49:16,227 --> 01:49:16,667 Speaker 31: the team. 2112 01:49:16,747 --> 01:49:18,547 Speaker 3: All right, brilliant.

Fourteen million. 2118 01:49:37,067 --> 01:49:40,467 Speaker 3: Goodness me, I think I read that Los Angeles or 2119 01:49:40,467 --> 01:49:42,267 Speaker 3: did Ryan just say it is the first one that 2120 01:49:42,387 --> 01:49:47,307 Speaker 3: has no public funding. It's all privately funded, so I 2121 01:49:47,307 --> 01:49:48,987 Speaker 3: guess that's why they got to sell all the tickets. 2122 01:49:49,507 --> 01:49:52,347 Speaker 3: The interesting part, the most interesting part is the flipping 2123 01:49:52,347 --> 01:49:54,547 Speaker 3: of the of the Athletics and the swimming, and the 2124 01:49:54,587 --> 01:49:57,147 Speaker 3: fact that there are changes within the track and field 2125 01:49:57,147 --> 01:50:00,547 Speaker 3: program as well, in that the one hundred meters, the 2126 01:50:00,547 --> 01:50:06,227 Speaker 3: women's hundred meters will all happen on the first day semisi. 2127 01:50:06,627 --> 01:50:11,227 Speaker 3: The heats first, heats, semis final, so those who make 2128 01:50:11,267 --> 01:50:13,187 Speaker 3: the final of the women's one hundred meters, and then 2129 01:50:13,227 --> 01:50:16,467 Speaker 3: on day two the men's one hundred meters. We'll all 2130 01:50:16,547 --> 01:50:20,867 Speaker 3: run three times on that day. Normally it's a semi 2131 01:50:21,347 --> 01:50:23,387 Speaker 3: and a final on the same day the heats normally 2132 01:50:23,427 --> 01:50:27,547 Speaker 3: the previous day. Certainly it's split over two days, but no, 2133 01:50:27,667 --> 01:50:30,387 Speaker 3: they want to hit with a bang. So Zoey Hobbs, 2134 01:50:31,467 --> 01:50:34,027 Speaker 3: who will no doubt be there in LA in twenty 2135 01:50:34,067 --> 01:50:39,027 Speaker 3: twenty eight. Well, hopefully fingers crossed run three times on 2136 01:50:39,067 --> 01:50:41,947 Speaker 3: the opening day, a heat, a semi, and hopefully the 2137 01:50:41,947 --> 01:50:44,147 Speaker 3: women's one hundred meter final, and then the men will 2138 01:50:44,187 --> 01:50:46,627 Speaker 3: do that on the second day. The front loaded a 2139 01:50:46,627 --> 01:50:48,907 Speaker 3: lot of the big events at the track and field. 2140 01:50:49,187 --> 01:50:51,827 Speaker 3: I think I guess to hit with a bang and 2141 01:50:52,427 --> 01:50:54,307 Speaker 3: the track and field will finish and then the swimming 2142 01:50:54,347 --> 01:50:58,027 Speaker 3: will take place. It'll be quite a change from what 2143 01:50:58,147 --> 01:51:00,907 Speaker 3: we used to where Olympics always start with the swimming 2144 01:51:00,947 --> 01:51:02,147 Speaker 3: for a week and then we get ready for the 2145 01:51:02,147 --> 01:51:05,627 Speaker 3: track and field. Flip it around, flip it around, updating 2146 01:51:05,627 --> 01:51:08,107 Speaker 3: you on the cricket. New Zealand have lost a couple 2147 01:51:08,107 --> 01:51:11,667 Speaker 3: of quick wickets right and Ravendra caught behind by Shay 2148 01:51:11,747 --> 01:51:15,707 Speaker 3: Hope off the bowling of Matthew Ford for four. Will 2149 01:51:15,787 --> 01:51:18,307 Speaker 3: Young came in and lasted just one delivery. He was 2150 01:51:18,347 --> 01:51:21,467 Speaker 3: out an identical fashion, caught behind by Hope off the 2151 01:51:21,467 --> 01:51:24,747 Speaker 3: bowling of Ford for a first ball duck. Daryl Mitchell 2152 01:51:24,787 --> 01:51:26,907 Speaker 3: survived the hat trick. He has yet to score. Devin 2153 01:51:26,947 --> 01:51:31,467 Speaker 3: Conways out there on nineteen seven overs gone and it's usual. 2154 01:51:31,507 --> 01:51:34,387 Speaker 3: I'm making pretty heavy weather of this. Twenty four for two, 2155 01:51:34,547 --> 01:51:37,747 Speaker 3: twenty four for two into now the eighth over and 2156 01:51:37,787 --> 01:51:40,507 Speaker 3: then the football the back after halftime, Columbia leading the 2157 01:51:40,587 --> 01:51:44,147 Speaker 3: All Whites by a goal to knell, twenty two away 2158 01:51:44,147 --> 01:51:46,027 Speaker 3: from three. We'll take a break, come back and talk 2159 01:51:46,147 --> 01:51:50,827 Speaker 3: to one of our great servants of hockey, Blacksticks former 2160 01:51:50,867 --> 01:51:55,147 Speaker 3: defender and former captain as well. Blair Tarrant has decided 2161 01:51:55,187 --> 01:51:59,987 Speaker 3: that he has had enough of international hockey. He has 2162 01:52:00,067 --> 01:52:05,267 Speaker 3: called it a day after an extremely impressive career. So 2163 01:52:05,347 --> 01:52:07,067 Speaker 3: how did he know? And you know, it was time. 2164 01:52:07,107 --> 01:52:10,187 Speaker 3: Blair Tarrant going to join us on Weekend Sport after this. 2165 01:52:10,547 --> 01:52:15,307 Speaker 1: Don't get caught off side eight Weekend Sports with Jason 2166 01:52:15,387 --> 01:52:19,467 Speaker 1: Thyme and GJ Guvnerhomes New Zealand's most trusted home builder 2167 01:52:19,587 --> 01:52:20,507 Speaker 1: News Dogs NB. 2168 01:52:21,267 --> 01:52:24,547 Speaker 3: Coming up to forty two Sunday afternoon on Weekend Sport. 2169 01:52:24,587 --> 01:52:29,267 Speaker 3: After an incredible career spanning over fifteen years, Blacksticks men's 2170 01:52:29,267 --> 01:52:33,387 Speaker 3: defender and former captain Blair Tarrant has announced his retirement 2171 01:52:33,427 --> 01:52:37,307 Speaker 3: from international hockey.

Blair Tarrant 2174 01:52:45,547 --> 01:52:49,267 Speaker 3: has with US congratulations made on a stellar career. How 2175 01:52:49,307 --> 01:52:50,587 Speaker 3: did you know that it was time? 2176 01:52:51,907 --> 01:52:52,187 Speaker 28: Yes? 2177 01:52:52,227 --> 01:52:56,147 Speaker 36: Thanks, I kind of felt like it was time, probably 2178 01:52:56,147 --> 01:52:58,827 Speaker 36: about six months ago and then yeah, feel feel good 2179 01:52:58,867 --> 01:52:59,267 Speaker 36: about it now. 2180 01:52:59,347 --> 01:53:02,187 Speaker 3: To be honest, did any part of you want to 2181 01:53:02,187 --> 01:53:02,547 Speaker 3: carry on? 2182 01:53:03,747 --> 01:53:03,947 Speaker 30: Oh? 2183 01:53:04,067 --> 01:53:06,187 Speaker 36: There was there's a World Cup next year, so there 2184 01:53:06,227 --> 01:53:08,187 Speaker 36: was a small part of me that was considering whether 2185 01:53:09,067 --> 01:53:12,067 Speaker 36: to push through to that, but the time had passed definitely. 2186 01:53:12,667 --> 01:53:14,947 Speaker 3: Well how do you know, though, because I'm sure if 2187 01:53:14,947 --> 01:53:16,867 Speaker 3: you carried on you could go to that World Cup 2188 01:53:16,947 --> 01:53:20,747 Speaker 3: and who knows beyond that? What was your decision making process? 2189 01:53:20,787 --> 01:53:22,987 Speaker 3: And once you did make the decision, as you say, 2190 01:53:22,987 --> 01:53:25,467 Speaker 3: were you're pretty comfortable with it? 2191 01:53:25,547 --> 01:53:26,307 Speaker 25: Actually a good question. 2192 01:53:26,387 --> 01:53:28,307 Speaker 36: I think there's a couple of things. The first thing 2193 01:53:28,387 --> 01:53:30,547 Speaker 36: is there's a bunch of young guys who are really good, 2194 01:53:30,667 --> 01:53:33,067 Speaker 36: and I reckon they need a good runway to the 2195 01:53:33,107 --> 01:53:35,347 Speaker 36: next Olympics. And then on the flip side, the body 2196 01:53:35,387 --> 01:53:38,027 Speaker 36: is getting pretty sure. So that kind of answered my 2197 01:53:38,107 --> 01:53:38,947 Speaker 36: question of it there as well. 2198 01:53:39,587 --> 01:53:41,907 Speaker 3: You daboot for the national team at the age of 2199 01:53:41,907 --> 01:53:46,147 Speaker 3: what nineteen twenty. Did you feel ready for international hockey 2200 01:53:46,187 --> 01:53:46,987 Speaker 3: when you debuted? 2201 01:53:48,467 --> 01:53:48,627 Speaker 1: No? 2202 01:53:48,907 --> 01:53:53,147 Speaker 36: Probably not. I think in New Zealand sometimes we get 2203 01:53:53,187 --> 01:53:56,067 Speaker 36: chucked in reasonably young because of the depths in this country, 2204 01:53:56,107 --> 01:53:58,467 Speaker 36: and it takes a while to get to that level. 2205 01:53:58,627 --> 01:54:01,627 Speaker 36: So I think the truth is no, not at the start. 2206 01:54:02,987 --> 01:54:05,227 Speaker 3: And how long did it take? When did you start 2207 01:54:05,267 --> 01:54:07,587 Speaker 3: to feel comfortable at international level? 2208 01:54:09,187 --> 01:54:12,107 Speaker 36: It kind of comes in swings, like there was a 2209 01:54:12,147 --> 01:54:13,867 Speaker 36: period where you know, you might get a bit of form, 2210 01:54:13,907 --> 01:54:16,587 Speaker 36: and then I think after maybe a year or so 2211 01:54:16,667 --> 01:54:19,147 Speaker 36: in the environment, I started feeling confident in every part 2212 01:54:19,147 --> 01:54:22,267 Speaker 36: of the game. But it takes You need to keep 2213 01:54:22,267 --> 01:54:24,107 Speaker 36: developing your whole career, and I tried to do that 2214 01:54:24,147 --> 01:54:24,827 Speaker 36: my whole way through. 2215 01:54:25,307 --> 01:54:28,547 Speaker 3: How did your game evolve and develop during your time 2216 01:54:28,587 --> 01:54:29,627 Speaker 3: in the national side. 2217 01:54:31,427 --> 01:54:33,867 Speaker 36: I think my on boll hockey got better and as 2218 01:54:33,867 --> 01:54:36,267 Speaker 36: I got older, my defending got worse, So it was 2219 01:54:36,707 --> 01:54:39,107 Speaker 36: a bit of a mixpag, I reckon. 2220 01:54:41,107 --> 01:54:43,827 Speaker 3: And what about the game of hockey itself? Did did 2221 01:54:44,267 --> 01:54:48,227 Speaker 3: the game of hockey change and evolve significantly in terms 2222 01:54:48,267 --> 01:54:50,667 Speaker 3: of the way it was played during your time at 2223 01:54:50,667 --> 01:54:51,027 Speaker 3: the top? 2224 01:54:52,547 --> 01:54:55,787 Speaker 36: Yeah, it had a lot actually, like rule changes, et cetera. 2225 01:54:57,027 --> 01:54:59,867 Speaker 36: The biggest change for me these days is probably the 2226 01:54:59,987 --> 01:55:03,107 Speaker 36: ability to players have with the highball, so the ability 2227 01:55:03,147 --> 01:55:04,707 Speaker 36: to receive it and the ability to had it on 2228 01:55:04,747 --> 01:55:07,707 Speaker 36: a dime to be defenses. I reckon, that's probably the 2229 01:55:07,747 --> 01:55:11,267 Speaker 36: biggest change I've seen. Also, the cool thing about hockey 2230 01:55:11,347 --> 01:55:15,787 Speaker 36: is every kind of area in the world plays quite differently, 2231 01:55:15,907 --> 01:55:18,587 Speaker 36: so we do playing against an Asian team or European team, 2232 01:55:19,027 --> 01:55:21,547 Speaker 36: It's like it's quite unique in the way each team plays. 2233 01:55:21,547 --> 01:55:23,347 Speaker 36: And I reckon, that's yeah, that's quite cool. 2234 01:55:23,387 --> 01:55:23,747 Speaker 25: Fockey. 2235 01:55:24,147 --> 01:55:26,267 Speaker 3: What were the hallmarks of the way the Black Sticks played? 2236 01:55:26,267 --> 01:55:28,867 Speaker 3: What was in the Black Sticks Hockey DNA during your 2237 01:55:28,907 --> 01:55:30,347 Speaker 3: time in the team. 2238 01:55:31,107 --> 01:55:33,307 Speaker 36: Yeah, I think when we're at our best, we are 2239 01:55:33,427 --> 01:55:35,827 Speaker 36: really dangerous on the counter attack and we play a 2240 01:55:35,867 --> 01:55:39,307 Speaker 36: skillful game and we have to keep leaning into that 2241 01:55:39,427 --> 01:55:41,467 Speaker 36: because you know it is hard at the top, but 2242 01:55:41,747 --> 01:55:44,827 Speaker 36: that for me, we are dangerous on the counter and 2243 01:55:44,867 --> 01:55:47,067 Speaker 36: we have individual ability when we're at our best. 2244 01:55:47,867 --> 01:55:50,787 Speaker 3: Does anything in particular stand out as a career highlight? 2245 01:55:52,907 --> 01:55:59,427 Speaker 36: Oh, not no tournament in particular, but probably just the 2246 01:55:59,907 --> 01:56:01,827 Speaker 36: environment at times when it was at its best, Like 2247 01:56:01,867 --> 01:56:03,947 Speaker 36: it's so fun to be in and then you go 2248 01:56:03,987 --> 01:56:06,787 Speaker 36: through the hard times which make it even better when 2249 01:56:06,787 --> 01:56:08,467 Speaker 36: you push through when the team's going well again. So 2250 01:56:08,547 --> 01:56:11,267 Speaker 36: probably the reflecting on that in terms of, you know, 2251 01:56:11,347 --> 01:56:13,627 Speaker 36: getting the team through tough times to then launch into 2252 01:56:13,627 --> 01:56:15,187 Speaker 36: the future probably might highlight. 2253 01:56:15,707 --> 01:56:18,187 Speaker 3: And you captain the side for a five year period 2254 01:56:18,187 --> 01:56:20,227 Speaker 3: which took in the COVID years as well, which must 2255 01:56:20,267 --> 01:56:22,707 Speaker 3: have been a challenge in itself. What was your leadership 2256 01:56:22,747 --> 01:56:24,147 Speaker 3: style in the Black Sticks? 2257 01:56:25,827 --> 01:56:29,707 Speaker 36: I think reasonably direct when it comes to hockey, but 2258 01:56:29,787 --> 01:56:32,587 Speaker 36: also just trying to trying to build a connection with 2259 01:56:32,627 --> 01:56:35,027 Speaker 36: every player and the team don't always get it right, 2260 01:56:35,067 --> 01:56:38,627 Speaker 36: but yeah, connections first and then yeah, pretty direct when 2261 01:56:38,667 --> 01:56:39,827 Speaker 36: it comes to hockey yourself. 2262 01:56:40,467 --> 01:56:43,387 Speaker 3: You may mention of it before. With some youngsters coming through, 2263 01:56:43,587 --> 01:56:47,227 Speaker 3: how do you evaluate where the high performance means programmers? 2264 01:56:47,787 --> 01:56:48,307 Speaker 3: Right now? 2265 01:56:51,267 --> 01:56:54,987 Speaker 36: The black Sticks themselves, the men, I think have a 2266 01:56:54,987 --> 01:56:56,587 Speaker 36: lot of talent in there, and I think they could 2267 01:56:56,587 --> 01:56:58,787 Speaker 36: do something secue in the next two years.
