I 97 00:05:15,307 --> 00:05:17,227 Speaker 8: look at a lot of things. I mean the relief 98 00:05:17,267 --> 00:05:17,827 Speaker 8: of winning. 99 00:05:18,067 --> 00:05:20,947 Speaker 9: You know, we lost in Duned and we thought we'd 100 00:05:20,987 --> 00:05:24,147 Speaker 9: secure the letters low down there, but we lost thirteen 101 00:05:24,227 --> 00:05:26,427 Speaker 9: twelve and then the two weeks we had to wait 102 00:05:26,507 --> 00:05:31,067 Speaker 9: to steal the deal was just it was tough. It 103 00:05:31,227 --> 00:05:34,987 Speaker 9: was something that we wanted so much. There had been 104 00:05:35,627 --> 00:05:39,187 Speaker 9: four Test matches where one point had separated the team's 105 00:05:39,587 --> 00:05:42,147 Speaker 9: The last Test in the eighty four series in Australia 106 00:05:42,907 --> 00:05:44,747 Speaker 9: I think was twenty four to twenty three. 107 00:05:44,627 --> 00:05:45,347 Speaker 8: To New Zealand. 108 00:05:45,707 --> 00:05:48,627 Speaker 9: The first Test against the Baby Blacks at Wellington was 109 00:05:48,667 --> 00:05:49,907 Speaker 9: thirteen twelve to us. 110 00:05:50,547 --> 00:05:51,667 Speaker 8: Down in Duneedon it was. 111 00:05:51,587 --> 00:05:54,547 Speaker 9: Thirteen twelve to the All Blacks, and so you know, 112 00:05:54,627 --> 00:05:57,187 Speaker 9: we just were so desperate to win, and I think 113 00:05:57,227 --> 00:05:59,907 Speaker 9: it was just the sheer relief Jason. But one thing 114 00:05:59,947 --> 00:06:03,667 Speaker 9: that I'll always remember was Campo scored the final try 115 00:06:03,827 --> 00:06:06,587 Speaker 9: with about ten minutes ago to really you know, put 116 00:06:06,627 --> 00:06:09,427 Speaker 9: it away for us. And we went back to the 117 00:06:09,547 --> 00:06:13,187 Speaker 9: kickoff and there was my old man Max who jumped. 118 00:06:12,867 --> 00:06:15,547 Speaker 8: The fence and was taking photographs on the sideline. 119 00:06:15,627 --> 00:06:17,667 Speaker 9: So you've got to remember it was a long time 120 00:06:17,707 --> 00:06:19,707 Speaker 9: ago and you could sort of do that thing, get 121 00:06:19,747 --> 00:06:20,827 Speaker 9: away with that sort of thing. 122 00:06:20,867 --> 00:06:22,627 Speaker 8: But that was one of the lasting memories that. 123 00:06:22,627 --> 00:06:24,827 Speaker 3: I had, Absolutely fantastic. 124 00:06:24,827 --> 00:06:28,147 Speaker 7: You played the All Blacks eighteen more times after that. 125 00:06:28,467 --> 00:06:31,387 Speaker 7: Were they the games you looked forward to the most? 126 00:06:32,347 --> 00:06:33,107 Speaker 8: Oh, look, for sure. 127 00:06:33,107 --> 00:06:35,627 Speaker 9: I mean you've got to remember that until nineteen ninety two, 128 00:06:35,747 --> 00:06:41,427 Speaker 9: South Africa weren't in international rugby because of isolation from apartheid, 129 00:06:41,547 --> 00:06:45,067 Speaker 9: So the huge matches for US were always the All Blacks. 130 00:06:44,867 --> 00:06:47,307 Speaker 9: As you mentioned, I was lucky enough to play twenty 131 00:06:47,347 --> 00:06:51,227 Speaker 9: tests eighteen for Australia and then I was privileged to 132 00:06:51,267 --> 00:06:54,507 Speaker 9: captain a World fifteen against the All Blacks in your 133 00:06:54,627 --> 00:06:59,387 Speaker 9: nineteen ninety two centenary celebrations. So every match I remember 134 00:06:59,547 --> 00:07:03,107 Speaker 9: almost like it was yesterday. I think we won seven, 135 00:07:03,187 --> 00:07:05,547 Speaker 9: we drew one, and you guys won the rest. 136 00:07:05,627 --> 00:07:07,707 Speaker 8: But it was amazing. 137 00:07:07,787 --> 00:07:10,547 Speaker 9: And you know, you've got to remember everyone thinks that 138 00:07:10,787 --> 00:07:13,227 Speaker 9: the opposition always stood up to the Harker. It really 139 00:07:13,267 --> 00:07:17,107 Speaker 9: wasn't until nineteen eighty seven that inaugur World Cup year. 140 00:07:18,067 --> 00:07:19,867 Speaker 8: Not that we played them in the World Cup, of. 141 00:07:19,787 --> 00:07:22,107 Speaker 9: Course, but we played a one off Test and that 142 00:07:22,227 --> 00:07:25,507 Speaker 9: was the first time that any international team actually stood 143 00:07:25,547 --> 00:07:26,187 Speaker 9: up to the Harker. 144 00:07:26,227 --> 00:07:27,747 Speaker 8: But we did that out of respect. 145 00:07:28,627 --> 00:07:31,267 Speaker 9: I'd much prefer to be ten meters away eyeballing your 146 00:07:31,307 --> 00:07:35,267 Speaker 9: opponent and respecting the great tradition of New Zealand rugby 147 00:07:35,267 --> 00:07:38,467 Speaker 9: than fifty meters away and turning you back. And you know, Jason, 148 00:07:38,467 --> 00:07:42,587 Speaker 9: for your listeners, that respect was because you're such a 149 00:07:42,627 --> 00:07:46,027 Speaker 9: great rugby nation you have been right through the decades. 150 00:07:46,067 --> 00:07:49,987 Speaker 9: But as an opponent, you want to send a second 151 00:07:50,027 --> 00:07:52,187 Speaker 9: message that we're not going to roll over and die. 152 00:07:52,227 --> 00:07:53,627 Speaker 9: And if you're going to be just today, you're going 153 00:07:53,667 --> 00:07:54,907 Speaker 9: to have to play bloody well. 154 00:07:55,307 --> 00:07:58,787 Speaker 7: Absolutely brilliant who were some of the more formidable players 155 00:07:59,067 --> 00:08:02,827 Speaker 7: you were always aware of and planned for when the 156 00:08:02,867 --> 00:08:05,627 Speaker 7: Australian side you were and played against the All Blacks. 157 00:08:05,387 --> 00:08:08,467 Speaker 8: Suit look, you had an amazing packs and what have you. 158 00:08:08,547 --> 00:08:11,707 Speaker 9: But I think someone who really revolutionized back row play 159 00:08:11,827 --> 00:08:14,907 Speaker 9: was Michael Jones. And at the end of the day, 160 00:08:14,947 --> 00:08:18,227 Speaker 9: when you talk about tactics, if Michael Jones played well, 161 00:08:19,107 --> 00:08:19,667 Speaker 9: we lost. 162 00:08:20,187 --> 00:08:22,067 Speaker 8: It was that simple, and so a lot of. 163 00:08:22,027 --> 00:08:25,587 Speaker 9: Our tactics were around burying him in deep dark places, 164 00:08:25,627 --> 00:08:28,427 Speaker 9: making sure that he makes as many tackles as possible 165 00:08:28,467 --> 00:08:30,707 Speaker 9: and gets at the bottom of rucks and mall so 166 00:08:30,747 --> 00:08:33,227 Speaker 9: he couldn't be in the face of Michael Lyoner, Tim 167 00:08:33,307 --> 00:08:35,107 Speaker 9: Hoore and Jason Little Camper. 168 00:08:36,107 --> 00:08:38,067 Speaker 8: If he was we basically lost. 169 00:08:38,107 --> 00:08:41,667 Speaker 9: And the other guy that we'd often form tactics around, 170 00:08:42,027 --> 00:08:44,267 Speaker 9: who's a great mate of mine as Michael is, but 171 00:08:44,347 --> 00:08:47,907 Speaker 9: a guy who I catch up with reasonably regularly whenever 172 00:08:48,147 --> 00:08:50,667 Speaker 9: I'm in New Zealand or he's over here, is Grant 173 00:08:50,747 --> 00:08:54,187 Speaker 9: fox Foxy as well. If he had a great game 174 00:08:54,267 --> 00:08:57,347 Speaker 9: or played well, in all likelihood we lost. But we 175 00:08:57,427 --> 00:09:01,267 Speaker 9: had to devise our tactics around taking time and space 176 00:09:01,307 --> 00:09:03,667 Speaker 9: from Grant and putting him under as much pressure as 177 00:09:03,667 --> 00:09:03,987 Speaker 9: we could. 178 00:09:04,027 --> 00:09:06,107 Speaker 8: And if we did that, we had a chance of 179 00:09:06,107 --> 00:09:08,067 Speaker 8: winn Now. 180 00:09:07,987 --> 00:09:10,667 Speaker 7: Is it true that you and Tim Horan took a 181 00:09:10,747 --> 00:09:13,467 Speaker 7: dip in Wellington Harbor after you beat the all Blacks 182 00:09:13,467 --> 00:09:15,227 Speaker 7: of Athletic Park in nineteen ninety. 183 00:09:16,387 --> 00:09:19,547 Speaker 9: We did, indeed, Jason, We actually we'd had a pack 184 00:09:19,667 --> 00:09:23,667 Speaker 9: that had we won in Auckland. We were staying at 185 00:09:23,707 --> 00:09:27,187 Speaker 9: the modern Dezi Hotel which was on the harbor, and 186 00:09:27,227 --> 00:09:31,467 Speaker 9: we basically said before the match at Eden Park in 187 00:09:31,547 --> 00:09:34,587 Speaker 9: nineteen ninety that if we win, we'll sneak down to 188 00:09:34,627 --> 00:09:36,867 Speaker 9: the harbor and have a dip. Well, we lost in 189 00:09:36,947 --> 00:09:39,907 Speaker 9: a close game in Auckland. But I think we're in 190 00:09:39,947 --> 00:09:42,947 Speaker 9: a nightclub at about one am. My wife was there 191 00:09:43,027 --> 00:09:46,107 Speaker 9: as well. I can assure you of that. But I 192 00:09:46,107 --> 00:09:47,827 Speaker 9: think I went up to Tim or he came up 193 00:09:47,867 --> 00:09:49,547 Speaker 9: to me at about one am and said, well, we 194 00:09:49,547 --> 00:09:52,067 Speaker 9: didn't do it in Auckland, but how about we go 195 00:09:52,187 --> 00:09:53,107 Speaker 9: down to the harbor. 196 00:09:54,227 --> 00:09:57,027 Speaker 8: And we did that, and I can assure you it 197 00:09:57,107 --> 00:09:58,067 Speaker 8: wasn't very warm. 198 00:09:58,307 --> 00:10:02,027 Speaker 9: And there are some photos drifting around and I'm not 199 00:10:02,227 --> 00:10:03,667 Speaker 9: overly proud of those photos. 200 00:10:03,707 --> 00:10:04,747 Speaker 8: I can assure you. 201 00:10:06,507 --> 00:10:09,667 Speaker 7: Many of your tests Nica course were alongside the great 202 00:10:09,707 --> 00:10:13,027 Speaker 7: Michael Liner. How did you achieve the chemistry you did 203 00:10:13,027 --> 00:10:15,547 Speaker 7: with him as a nine ten combo? 204 00:10:16,387 --> 00:10:16,587 Speaker 8: Yeah. 205 00:10:16,627 --> 00:10:18,547 Speaker 9: Look, I was lucky enough to play my first four 206 00:10:18,587 --> 00:10:22,027 Speaker 9: Tests against alongside Mark Ella, the great Mark Ella, before 207 00:10:22,067 --> 00:10:24,387 Speaker 9: he retired at the end of the Grand Slam in 208 00:10:24,427 --> 00:10:27,867 Speaker 9: eighty four, and then Michael switched from twelve to his 209 00:10:27,987 --> 00:10:31,307 Speaker 9: more usual position of ten. Of course he played for Queensland. 210 00:10:31,347 --> 00:10:33,707 Speaker 9: I played for New South Wales. But somehow when we 211 00:10:33,747 --> 00:10:37,707 Speaker 9: came together in that gold Jersey, it always jelled, and 212 00:10:38,067 --> 00:10:42,027 Speaker 9: particularly as captain. Michael took so much pressure off me 213 00:10:42,467 --> 00:10:46,547 Speaker 9: as the captain because anything outside me, from a scrum 214 00:10:46,747 --> 00:10:49,027 Speaker 9: or what have you, he would basically take over. He 215 00:10:49,067 --> 00:10:51,147 Speaker 9: would call the shots, so that really took a lot 216 00:10:51,187 --> 00:10:53,427 Speaker 9: of pressure off me. If I didn't want to play 217 00:10:53,427 --> 00:10:56,787 Speaker 9: a back row move or something closer to the ruck 218 00:10:56,947 --> 00:11:01,147 Speaker 9: or mall or scrum, then not. He really took over 219 00:11:01,227 --> 00:11:03,707 Speaker 9: from there and that just gave me a lot more 220 00:11:04,347 --> 00:11:07,987 Speaker 9: I suppose breathing to be able to focus on my 221 00:11:08,107 --> 00:11:10,347 Speaker 9: role as a scrum half and captain. But he was 222 00:11:11,107 --> 00:11:14,787 Speaker 9: a terrific player. We had a great telepathy. I knew, 223 00:11:15,227 --> 00:11:17,067 Speaker 9: you know, if he wanted to drift pass or if 224 00:11:17,107 --> 00:11:19,627 Speaker 9: he wanted to direct. He was one of those guys 225 00:11:19,627 --> 00:11:22,947 Speaker 9: that was insistent on where you hit him. Always had 226 00:11:22,987 --> 00:11:24,707 Speaker 9: to be sort of on his hip, you know about 227 00:11:24,787 --> 00:11:28,187 Speaker 9: waist high. He was pretty particular in relation to that, 228 00:11:28,267 --> 00:11:31,467 Speaker 9: compared to someone like Mark Eller, who basically said, Nick, 229 00:11:31,507 --> 00:11:34,387 Speaker 9: you do the chucking, I'll do the catching. But look, 230 00:11:34,707 --> 00:11:37,147 Speaker 9: I played over fifty Tests with Michael and it was 231 00:11:37,147 --> 00:11:39,507 Speaker 9: an absolute privilege and it's wonderful to see his young 232 00:11:39,547 --> 00:11:42,547 Speaker 9: fellow coming through, or he's two young fellas coming through 233 00:11:42,627 --> 00:11:43,907 Speaker 9: in world rugby. 234 00:11:44,707 --> 00:11:47,027 Speaker 7: You both, of course were part of that nineteen ninety 235 00:11:47,027 --> 00:11:49,027 Speaker 7: one Rugby World Cup winning side. 236 00:11:49,467 --> 00:11:50,427 Speaker 3: What were the key. 237 00:11:50,427 --> 00:11:54,107 Speaker 7: Ingredients in that side that lifted the William web Ellis 238 00:11:54,107 --> 00:11:55,107 Speaker 7: Trophy in ninety one. 239 00:11:56,427 --> 00:12:00,427 Speaker 9: Look, Jason I took over the captaincy in nineteen eighty eight. 240 00:12:00,467 --> 00:12:02,907 Speaker 9: In the first couple of years of captaining the Wallabies, 241 00:12:03,667 --> 00:12:06,267 Speaker 9: we could be very inconsistent. We could be fantastic one 242 00:12:06,427 --> 00:12:10,667 Speaker 9: Saturday and seven days later play like busted bums. What 243 00:12:10,827 --> 00:12:15,187 Speaker 9: I think really changed from that important victory at Wellington. 244 00:12:15,267 --> 00:12:17,827 Speaker 9: That's when we knew that we could beat the All 245 00:12:17,867 --> 00:12:20,427 Speaker 9: Blacks and we could beat anyone on our day and 246 00:12:20,547 --> 00:12:24,227 Speaker 9: to me, we'd lost the letterslow, but that victory that 247 00:12:24,307 --> 00:12:27,387 Speaker 9: Third Test in nineteen ninety was what changed everything. And 248 00:12:27,467 --> 00:12:30,107 Speaker 9: I think there's a little bit of comparison with this 249 00:12:30,147 --> 00:12:33,547 Speaker 9: Australian team now and the young leader Harry Wilson, having 250 00:12:33,627 --> 00:12:36,707 Speaker 9: won that Third Test, we'd lost the series against the lines. 251 00:12:37,147 --> 00:12:40,267 Speaker 9: But that Third Test victory I compared to our victory 252 00:12:40,347 --> 00:12:44,067 Speaker 9: nineteen ninety at Wellington because this team led by Harry 253 00:12:44,107 --> 00:12:46,147 Speaker 9: now knows that they can beat anyone on their day. 254 00:12:46,187 --> 00:12:50,267 Speaker 9: They proved that at Ellis Park. They of course, you know, 255 00:12:50,787 --> 00:12:54,427 Speaker 9: played well against Argentina. To beat the lines in that 256 00:12:54,467 --> 00:12:57,747 Speaker 9: Third Test convincingly was fantastic and that's why I think 257 00:12:57,787 --> 00:13:00,667 Speaker 9: this team will be right up for this match this 258 00:13:00,787 --> 00:13:03,787 Speaker 9: afternoon at Eden Park. But to get back to what 259 00:13:03,827 --> 00:13:05,987 Speaker 9: I was saying, it was really we had to change 260 00:13:05,987 --> 00:13:08,907 Speaker 9: the of that team that was very inconsistent to a 261 00:13:08,987 --> 00:13:12,507 Speaker 9: team that is what I call process driven. Understand the 262 00:13:12,547 --> 00:13:16,547 Speaker 9: process individually and collectively. It goes way beyond the eighty minutes, 263 00:13:16,587 --> 00:13:19,227 Speaker 9: but understand what it is in the eighty minutes, and 264 00:13:19,307 --> 00:13:21,987 Speaker 9: we became a very consistent team. I think about the 265 00:13:22,067 --> 00:13:25,147 Speaker 9: last twenty five Tests I played in the nineties, we 266 00:13:25,187 --> 00:13:27,067 Speaker 9: won about twenty two of them and it was really 267 00:13:27,107 --> 00:13:31,227 Speaker 9: that consistency that we developed over that sort of crucial 268 00:13:31,267 --> 00:13:32,347 Speaker 9: two three year period. 269 00:13:33,467 --> 00:13:36,507 Speaker 7: Is it a source of frustration that the Bledislow hasn't 270 00:13:36,547 --> 00:13:39,227 Speaker 7: been on your side of the ditch now for over 271 00:13:39,267 --> 00:13:40,027 Speaker 7: two decades? 272 00:13:40,787 --> 00:13:42,427 Speaker 8: Oh, look, I'm pretty sure it is. 273 00:13:42,467 --> 00:13:46,307 Speaker 9: I mean, ask any player who's lost to the All 274 00:13:46,347 --> 00:13:50,827 Speaker 9: Blacks and hasn't won a Bledislow, Ask any Australian fan, 275 00:13:51,107 --> 00:13:55,307 Speaker 9: ask the families of the players, anyone connected to rugby 276 00:13:55,387 --> 00:13:59,067 Speaker 9: is hugely frustrated that the Bledisloe hasn't been one. 277 00:14:00,027 --> 00:14:02,627 Speaker 8: It's disappointing these days. 278 00:14:02,307 --> 00:14:05,107 Speaker 9: That you know, you don't have three tests series and 279 00:14:05,187 --> 00:14:07,987 Speaker 9: so you guys only have to win the one match 280 00:14:08,067 --> 00:14:08,787 Speaker 9: to retain it. 281 00:14:09,347 --> 00:14:11,427 Speaker 8: But yeah, this is critical. 282 00:14:11,467 --> 00:14:14,827 Speaker 9: That's why today, this afternoon will be so critical for 283 00:14:14,867 --> 00:14:18,387 Speaker 9: Australian rugby that we can go to Perth next weekend 284 00:14:18,507 --> 00:14:21,467 Speaker 9: with a live series and have the chance of winning 285 00:14:21,507 --> 00:14:25,067 Speaker 9: that Bledislow because it is one of the great trophies 286 00:14:26,267 --> 00:14:29,707 Speaker 9: in world sport and we just haven't had it for 287 00:14:29,747 --> 00:14:30,867 Speaker 9: over two decades. 288 00:14:31,707 --> 00:14:34,227 Speaker 7: Just had a question come through for you, Nick, I'm 289 00:14:34,227 --> 00:14:36,267 Speaker 7: not sure whether you're able to answer it, but can 290 00:14:36,307 --> 00:14:39,107 Speaker 7: you please ask Nick his thoughts on Cam Roygad and 291 00:14:39,147 --> 00:14:43,787 Speaker 7: where he sees him in the ranks of halfbacks around 292 00:14:43,827 --> 00:14:44,987 Speaker 7: the world at the moment. Have you seen it but 293 00:14:45,027 --> 00:14:45,547 Speaker 7: of Cam roy. 294 00:14:45,507 --> 00:14:48,827 Speaker 9: Gath Now, Look, I was saying to you produce it 295 00:14:48,947 --> 00:14:51,787 Speaker 9: before our chat today that I really haven't seen too 296 00:14:51,827 --> 00:14:55,107 Speaker 9: much of New Zealand rugby this year, and so I haven't, 297 00:14:55,867 --> 00:14:58,627 Speaker 9: but I'll be very interested to see how he goes 298 00:14:58,627 --> 00:15:02,387 Speaker 9: against Tate McDermott. How old is Cam just out of interest? 299 00:15:02,947 --> 00:15:06,107 Speaker 3: He's twenty four, twenty three, twenty. 300 00:15:05,827 --> 00:15:09,507 Speaker 9: Four, okay, and he obviously deserves his jersey and a 301 00:15:09,547 --> 00:15:11,467 Speaker 9: lot of New Zealanders are raving about him. 302 00:15:11,627 --> 00:15:13,427 Speaker 8: I suspect absolutely. 303 00:15:13,467 --> 00:15:15,747 Speaker 7: You know, he's well, he hasn't been in the team 304 00:15:15,747 --> 00:15:18,307 Speaker 7: for the last four Test matches. Getting him back for 305 00:15:18,347 --> 00:15:21,147 Speaker 7: this one has been seen as a huge boost because 306 00:15:21,147 --> 00:15:23,747 Speaker 7: he already has sort of opened up a gap between 307 00:15:23,787 --> 00:15:26,627 Speaker 7: he and the next best in his position. So yeah, no, 308 00:15:26,707 --> 00:15:29,107 Speaker 7: I think that Battle of the ninth this afternoon, as 309 00:15:29,147 --> 00:15:30,667 Speaker 7: a lot of the battles will be that will be 310 00:15:30,707 --> 00:15:34,107 Speaker 7: will be crucial. Yeah, it's yeah, just to finish and 311 00:15:34,147 --> 00:15:36,547 Speaker 7: you mention it there, what would it mean to win 312 00:15:36,627 --> 00:15:38,987 Speaker 7: this game this afternoon, for the Wallabies to take the 313 00:15:39,067 --> 00:15:41,827 Speaker 7: series to a sold out Perth and perhaps for the 314 00:15:42,027 --> 00:15:43,867 Speaker 7: for the Wallabies to get their hands back on that 315 00:15:44,187 --> 00:15:45,307 Speaker 7: on that coveted price. 316 00:15:46,267 --> 00:15:48,387 Speaker 8: It means everything to us. So I can assure you 317 00:15:48,427 --> 00:15:48,627 Speaker 8: of that. 318 00:15:48,787 --> 00:15:52,827 Speaker 9: And you know, it's been quite amazing since that, or 319 00:15:52,867 --> 00:15:56,827 Speaker 9: since the success of the line series financially and also 320 00:15:57,027 --> 00:16:00,707 Speaker 9: from the way our team played to see this team 321 00:16:00,747 --> 00:16:04,307 Speaker 9: that seems very close. It's not just the team, it's 322 00:16:04,347 --> 00:16:07,787 Speaker 9: the squad that Harry Wilson talks about. I think Wilson's 323 00:16:07,827 --> 00:16:10,427 Speaker 9: developing into one of the great captains. I think he'll 324 00:16:10,427 --> 00:16:16,667 Speaker 9: be around for a long time injury pending, but it 325 00:16:16,827 --> 00:16:20,827 Speaker 9: means so much to Australian supporters and the talk just 326 00:16:20,867 --> 00:16:24,507 Speaker 9: in the streets that this team is finally developing into 327 00:16:24,547 --> 00:16:28,387 Speaker 9: something that could compete for Bledisloe Cups. And you know, 328 00:16:28,467 --> 00:16:32,547 Speaker 9: obviously in two years time, World Cup being hosted here 329 00:16:32,547 --> 00:16:35,947 Speaker 9: in Australia, and everyone is just very very excited. After 330 00:16:36,027 --> 00:16:39,267 Speaker 9: the we plummeted to the depths of the twenty twenty 331 00:16:39,307 --> 00:16:43,027 Speaker 9: three World Cup, not making the quarter finals.

Brendan Cannon I think was 370 00:18:26,827 --> 00:18:29,747 Speaker 7: in the team that lost the Bledislow carp but then 371 00:18:30,067 --> 00:18:31,907 Speaker 7: had won it previously to that. He was in that 372 00:18:31,907 --> 00:18:35,667 Speaker 7: team that kind of between the late nineties and into 373 00:18:35,667 --> 00:18:39,467 Speaker 7: the two thousands, maybe the early two thousands. For Brendan Cannon, 374 00:18:39,987 --> 00:18:43,027 Speaker 7: you never really knew from week to week, from test 375 00:18:43,067 --> 00:18:45,347 Speaker 7: to test, who was going to come out on top. 376 00:18:45,587 --> 00:18:47,907 Speaker 7: So hopefully we can twist his arm and maybe buy 377 00:18:47,947 --> 00:18:49,547 Speaker 7: him a bear and see if he wants to come 378 00:18:49,547 --> 00:18:51,507 Speaker 7: and reminisus a little bit with us.

The All Blacks have won their last 381 00:18:57,267 --> 00:19:01,307 Speaker 7: nine Tests against the Wallabyes. Australia's last wind November twenty 382 00:19:01,387 --> 00:19:04,467 Speaker 7: twenty are twenty four to twenty two when at sun 383 00:19:04,507 --> 00:19:07,747 Speaker 7: Corpse Stadium. Australia haven't beaten the All Blacks in New 384 00:19:07,867 --> 00:19:12,587 Speaker 7: Zealand since two thousand and one at Carrisbrook, where they 385 00:19:12,627 --> 00:19:15,307 Speaker 7: ran out winners by twenty three points to fifteen. The 386 00:19:15,347 --> 00:19:20,467 Speaker 7: thirty Test matches since then on New Zealand soil have 387 00:19:20,587 --> 00:19:25,187 Speaker 7: seen twenty nine All Blacks wins and a solitary draw 388 00:19:25,387 --> 00:19:29,467 Speaker 7: sixteen all in Wellington in October twenty twenty. You have 389 00:19:29,507 --> 00:19:31,227 Speaker 7: to go all the way back to that game in 390 00:19:31,267 --> 00:19:34,347 Speaker 7: September nineteen eighty six that we just talked about with 391 00:19:34,427 --> 00:19:37,787 Speaker 7: Nick Varr Jones to find the last time Australia beat 392 00:19:37,787 --> 00:19:40,467 Speaker 7: the All Blacks at Eden Park that late try to 393 00:19:40,547 --> 00:19:44,827 Speaker 7: David Campeazy our twenty two points to nine win and famously, 394 00:19:44,867 --> 00:19:47,987 Speaker 7: of course, the last time anybody beat the All Blacks 395 00:19:48,027 --> 00:19:50,987 Speaker 7: in a test at Eden Park was nineteen ninety four 396 00:19:51,667 --> 00:19:54,707 Speaker 7: fifty one test matches without defeat for the All Blacks, 397 00:19:55,067 --> 00:19:58,467 Speaker 7: forty nine wins and two draws. They've held the Bletisloe 398 00:19:58,507 --> 00:20:00,467 Speaker 7: Cup since two thousand and three. 399 00:20:01,187 --> 00:20:03,307 Speaker 3: Can these two long. 400 00:20:03,107 --> 00:20:06,907 Speaker 7: Standing All Blacks records twenty two years with a let 401 00:20:06,987 --> 00:20:11,267 Speaker 7: Terslow Cup thirty one years without defeat at this venue 402 00:20:11,867 --> 00:20:19,867 Speaker 7: be threatened tonight by a resurgent and reasonably confident Wallerby's side. Look, 403 00:20:19,867 --> 00:20:23,987 Speaker 7: I'm going to say no for one main reason. The 404 00:20:24,067 --> 00:20:26,747 Speaker 7: All Blacks come into this game off the back of 405 00:20:26,787 --> 00:20:32,267 Speaker 7: their heaviest ever defeat, humbled in case you needed reminding, 406 00:20:32,667 --> 00:20:36,427 Speaker 7: forty three to ten by the spring Box a fortnight ago. Now, 407 00:20:36,467 --> 00:20:39,467 Speaker 7: after a loss like that, to honor the legacy of 408 00:20:39,507 --> 00:20:44,547 Speaker 7: the All Blacks Jersey, a response is expected, A response 409 00:20:44,667 --> 00:20:49,147 Speaker 7: is demanded. A response is pretty much compulsory, and for me, 410 00:20:49,307 --> 00:20:53,027 Speaker 7: that'll out weigh any thought of Australia coming to town 411 00:20:53,787 --> 00:20:56,547 Speaker 7: and continuing the All Blacks misery a little bit later 412 00:20:56,627 --> 00:21:01,787 Speaker 7: on this afternoon. The All Blacks always rise to the occasion, 413 00:21:02,187 --> 00:21:05,947 Speaker 7: and this is an occasion and a night on which 414 00:21:05,947 --> 00:21:09,307 Speaker 7: the All Blae really simply cannot afford to lose. 415 00:21:10,227 --> 00:21:12,787 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is our number. 416 00:21:12,787 --> 00:21:15,867 Speaker 7: If you'd like to jump aboard, give us your thoughts. 417 00:21:16,427 --> 00:21:17,467 Speaker 3: We'd love to have you with us. 418 00:21:17,507 --> 00:21:19,667 Speaker 7: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty as the show comes 419 00:21:19,667 --> 00:21:22,507 Speaker 7: to you live from the Kingslander in New north Road 420 00:21:22,507 --> 00:21:24,547 Speaker 7: this afternoon, we're back with your calls, your thoughts. 421 00:21:24,827 --> 00:21:30,347 Speaker 1: Right after this, live from the Kingslander in Auckland.

I can spell a bit of 435 00:22:01,987 --> 00:22:05,027 Speaker 12: pushfire in the air, so it's probably awkord. 436 00:22:05,827 --> 00:22:07,987 Speaker 7: Well, I'm sorry do you want to give you the 437 00:22:08,027 --> 00:22:10,627 Speaker 7: weather for today At the moment here made it's really 438 00:22:10,707 --> 00:22:13,827 Speaker 7: it's really nice. But apparently in the next few hours 439 00:22:13,867 --> 00:22:15,507 Speaker 7: there's going to be a bit of rain and quite 440 00:22:15,547 --> 00:22:18,307 Speaker 7: a heavy shower at around halftime tonight. Look, I don't 441 00:22:18,307 --> 00:22:21,347 Speaker 7: know whether that'll make a difference or not, but that's 442 00:22:21,387 --> 00:22:23,387 Speaker 7: just a bit of a bit of weather and tell 443 00:22:23,427 --> 00:22:23,867 Speaker 7: for you mate. 444 00:22:23,867 --> 00:22:25,387 Speaker 3: But how are you feeling about the game in general? 445 00:22:26,227 --> 00:22:28,787 Speaker 12: Oh look, look, I'm just going to make a general 446 00:22:28,787 --> 00:22:32,387 Speaker 12: statement just quickly. I just love this Wallaby team. They're 447 00:22:32,467 --> 00:22:36,587 Speaker 12: just like I'm a Wallaby supporter, but with the NRL 448 00:22:36,787 --> 00:22:40,627 Speaker 12: and the AFL and the Australian public just kind of 449 00:22:40,867 --> 00:22:44,307 Speaker 12: dwindled away. But I think the Australian public want to 450 00:22:44,347 --> 00:22:47,147 Speaker 12: be proud of the Wallabies again. I think they are again. 451 00:22:47,307 --> 00:22:49,587 Speaker 12: I think they see they're a scene that they can 452 00:22:49,627 --> 00:22:53,827 Speaker 12: investigate in and I've seen more Wallaby jumpers around Sydney 453 00:22:53,867 --> 00:22:57,507 Speaker 12: even with the temperature rising, and I just think these guys, 454 00:22:58,027 --> 00:23:01,667 Speaker 12: these blokes really are trying to rebuild the game in 455 00:23:01,707 --> 00:23:05,187 Speaker 12: this country and I think they take that on. And 456 00:23:05,427 --> 00:23:07,947 Speaker 12: I grew up and could so. I saw the eller 457 00:23:07,987 --> 00:23:10,507 Speaker 12: Boys play and I love the way when we do 458 00:23:10,747 --> 00:23:12,787 Speaker 12: get over the advantage one. I love the way the 459 00:23:12,827 --> 00:23:15,947 Speaker 12: Australian back liner are using the ball. I just think 460 00:23:16,427 --> 00:23:20,947 Speaker 12: they're fantastic. I don't think Mate will have the five 461 00:23:20,987 --> 00:23:23,147 Speaker 12: pound to get up today. I think we're still developing 462 00:23:23,147 --> 00:23:25,867 Speaker 12: as a team, but I think they'll give it a 463 00:23:25,907 --> 00:23:28,307 Speaker 12: really good crack and I think the Australian public will 464 00:23:28,347 --> 00:23:30,067 Speaker 12: still be proud of them at the end of today 465 00:23:30,667 --> 00:23:33,227 Speaker 12: and then we'll have another go in person and see 466 00:23:33,227 --> 00:23:37,467 Speaker 12: how we go. But I think they're billt like they're back. 467 00:23:37,867 --> 00:23:41,747 Speaker 12: They're back, the publics love them, so Yeah, they've done 468 00:23:41,747 --> 00:23:45,147 Speaker 12: great things for rugby in this country. And Joe smid Mate. 469 00:23:45,147 --> 00:23:47,347 Speaker 12: I wish he wasn't going home. I understand he has 470 00:23:47,387 --> 00:23:50,187 Speaker 12: to for family reasons. But we'll thank you very much 471 00:23:50,227 --> 00:23:52,987 Speaker 12: to Joe for what he's done for rugby in this country. 472 00:23:53,027 --> 00:23:53,547 Speaker 12: He has been. 473 00:23:53,427 --> 00:23:55,027 Speaker 3: Amazing, brilliant stuff. 474 00:23:55,067 --> 00:23:57,427 Speaker 7: So as we sit here, then, Matt, in the middle 475 00:23:57,467 --> 00:24:00,987 Speaker 7: of the World Cup cycle, which of course Australia will 476 00:24:00,987 --> 00:24:04,387 Speaker 7: host in twenty twenty seven, do you feel a sense 477 00:24:04,427 --> 00:24:07,107 Speaker 7: of optimism about what might play out a couple of years. 478 00:24:08,667 --> 00:24:12,627 Speaker 12: Look, look, World Cups are funny and it's turning up 479 00:24:12,667 --> 00:24:16,667 Speaker 12: on the day, but I think there's a team developing 480 00:24:17,027 --> 00:24:20,507 Speaker 12: that'll give it a really good crack. They won't they'll 481 00:24:20,547 --> 00:24:23,587 Speaker 12: be in the running and it's on the day. But 482 00:24:24,147 --> 00:24:27,107 Speaker 12: I think Joe's filled them with that confidence, you know, 483 00:24:27,187 --> 00:24:30,947 Speaker 12: that belief that they don't go away. They don't go away. 484 00:24:30,947 --> 00:24:32,507 Speaker 12: They remind me, they remind me a lot of the 485 00:24:32,587 --> 00:24:35,827 Speaker 12: canber Raiders. They don't go away. They just stay in 486 00:24:35,867 --> 00:24:37,987 Speaker 12: the fight. And you've got to you've got a chance, 487 00:24:38,667 --> 00:24:41,147 Speaker 12: You've got a chance. And for many years I just 488 00:24:41,147 --> 00:24:43,067 Speaker 12: didn't think we had a chance.

Five past five, Eden Park, All Blacks 661 00:31:52,187 --> 00:31:55,347 Speaker 7: against the Wallaby's former Wallaby Brendan Cannon. 662 00:31:55,427 --> 00:31:56,627 Speaker 3: Good to see you mate, How are you? 663 00:31:56,867 --> 00:31:57,067 Speaker 14: I go? 664 00:31:57,267 --> 00:31:58,667 Speaker 18: Well, I'm very excited. 665 00:31:58,907 --> 00:31:59,747 Speaker 3: Yes game day. 666 00:31:59,787 --> 00:32:03,667 Speaker 18: You still get the juices flowing sweaty palms, and I 667 00:32:03,747 --> 00:32:06,947 Speaker 18: think it's an interesting afternoon for both teams. The afternoon 668 00:32:07,587 --> 00:32:10,387 Speaker 18: high anticipation on the Wallaby side of things, and I 669 00:32:10,547 --> 00:32:13,027 Speaker 18: sense a little bit of nervousness from the kiwis do 670 00:32:13,147 --> 00:32:13,547 Speaker 18: you really? 671 00:32:14,627 --> 00:32:14,787 Speaker 19: I do? 672 00:32:15,747 --> 00:32:17,987 Speaker 18: I do a sense of vulnerability that I haven't seen 673 00:32:18,027 --> 00:32:20,227 Speaker 18: for a long time and it's a damn shame, but 674 00:32:20,427 --> 00:32:22,507 Speaker 18: that's what life's all about. You've got to be vulnerable 675 00:32:23,747 --> 00:32:27,507 Speaker 18: to grow and maybe this afternoon that vulnerability could be exposed. 676 00:32:27,587 --> 00:32:27,707 Speaker 6: Well. 677 00:32:28,187 --> 00:32:28,707 Speaker 10: I love that. 678 00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:30,907 Speaker 3: It seems like you've been working on that for a while. 679 00:32:31,507 --> 00:32:32,467 Speaker 8: Twenty three years. 680 00:32:34,667 --> 00:32:36,707 Speaker 3: You've been along with it and been How are you mate? 681 00:32:36,787 --> 00:32:38,307 Speaker 3: Living the dream? Happy to be here now? 682 00:32:38,347 --> 00:32:41,107 Speaker 7: You were born the year after the Wallabies. Last week 683 00:32:41,107 --> 00:32:42,307 Speaker 7: the All Blacks here at Eden Park. 684 00:32:42,427 --> 00:32:45,307 Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah, I'm one of the great mocks that will 685 00:32:45,707 --> 00:32:48,707 Speaker 20: be put on any sporting side. So yeah, last time 686 00:32:48,747 --> 00:32:50,587 Speaker 20: we won here was eighty six. I was born in 687 00:32:50,667 --> 00:32:54,227 Speaker 20: eighty seven. Okay, last premiership the Mighty Paramatter Eels one 688 00:32:54,347 --> 00:32:57,787 Speaker 20: was eighty six as well. I don't get a lot 689 00:32:57,827 --> 00:33:00,947 Speaker 20: of a lot of joy, but we're hoping, hoping to 690 00:33:00,987 --> 00:33:02,787 Speaker 20: break a record tonight with history. 691 00:33:02,907 --> 00:33:04,827 Speaker 7: Brittan, you know what it's like to win the bleedd 692 00:33:04,867 --> 00:33:07,907 Speaker 7: Slow Cup. Yes, like to win the Bledterslow. 693 00:33:07,467 --> 00:33:09,987 Speaker 18: Cut well twenty three years ago when we last held it, 694 00:33:10,067 --> 00:33:13,027 Speaker 18: so two thousand and two. I think we beat an 695 00:33:13,067 --> 00:33:17,627 Speaker 18: Antin Oliver captain lead side at Carrisbrook, and it was 696 00:33:17,667 --> 00:33:20,107 Speaker 18: a great error for the Wallabies back then and we 697 00:33:20,187 --> 00:33:22,507 Speaker 18: were just talking offline which before that how close it 698 00:33:22,627 --> 00:33:25,507 Speaker 18: was between the two sides. It was really just on 699 00:33:25,587 --> 00:33:27,627 Speaker 18: the day who got a rubber of the green. To 700 00:33:27,747 --> 00:33:30,947 Speaker 18: a degree, there's probably been a fairly significant void in 701 00:33:31,027 --> 00:33:32,947 Speaker 18: recent years between the All Blacks and the Wallowies. But 702 00:33:33,627 --> 00:33:35,667 Speaker 18: I think the way the Wallabies have played this year 703 00:33:36,587 --> 00:33:39,227 Speaker 18: has generated a level of interest which has been missing 704 00:33:39,307 --> 00:33:40,827 Speaker 18: for a while, which but I think is good for 705 00:33:40,947 --> 00:33:45,067 Speaker 18: rugby internationally. But in terms of the bladders though, I 706 00:33:45,147 --> 00:33:47,107 Speaker 18: didn't think in two thousand and two when we had 707 00:33:47,187 --> 00:33:49,067 Speaker 18: it that if we did lose it it would take 708 00:33:49,147 --> 00:33:52,907 Speaker 18: twenty three years and counting before we even looked like 709 00:33:52,987 --> 00:33:54,507 Speaker 18: we were a chance to get it back. So twenty 710 00:33:54,547 --> 00:33:57,907 Speaker 18: three years is a long time. There's generations of Austrange 711 00:33:58,027 --> 00:34:00,507 Speaker 18: children that have grown up that have no idea what 712 00:34:00,587 --> 00:34:03,427 Speaker 18: the bladders the cup looks like. Hopefully that changes today. 713 00:34:03,507 --> 00:34:05,187 Speaker 7: Well, the line I've been using most of the week 714 00:34:05,307 --> 00:34:07,347 Speaker 7: is that no one's ever posted it on social media 715 00:34:07,427 --> 00:34:09,547 Speaker 7: that the Wallabs have won the blitterslow up because they 716 00:34:09,587 --> 00:34:11,547 Speaker 7: arrived all about it you, oh five o six been? 717 00:34:12,187 --> 00:34:14,867 Speaker 7: Is it a source of frustration for Australian rugby fans 718 00:34:14,907 --> 00:34:16,387 Speaker 7: that it has been over here for so long? 719 00:34:16,507 --> 00:34:16,627 Speaker 11: Oh? 720 00:34:16,667 --> 00:34:20,947 Speaker 20: Look, I think we've moved well beyond frustration and now 721 00:34:20,987 --> 00:34:23,787 Speaker 20: we're just living in desperate sort of hope. I mean 722 00:34:23,907 --> 00:34:25,667 Speaker 20: the last time we had it, I remember I was 723 00:34:25,707 --> 00:34:26,987 Speaker 20: I would have been sitting at home with the old 724 00:34:27,027 --> 00:34:30,827 Speaker 20: man watching this boat lifted above us, lifted above his head. 725 00:34:30,907 --> 00:34:33,507 Speaker 20: So you know, I do, I do agree with cano 726 00:34:33,587 --> 00:34:36,347 Speaker 20: though definitely, you know, I starting rugby's feeling a lot 727 00:34:36,427 --> 00:34:37,947 Speaker 20: better these days over there. 728 00:34:37,947 --> 00:34:39,267 Speaker 3: I think it was a great lines tour. 729 00:34:39,907 --> 00:34:41,907 Speaker 20: There's a lot of positivity about the team at the 730 00:34:41,947 --> 00:34:46,027 Speaker 20: moment and the All Blacks definitely look vulnerable and looking 731 00:34:46,107 --> 00:34:48,147 Speaker 20: forward to uh hopefully bringing it back home. 732 00:34:47,987 --> 00:34:48,947 Speaker 3: To where it belongs now. 733 00:34:48,987 --> 00:34:51,067 Speaker 7: Apart from the rugby, of course, you usually are here 734 00:34:51,107 --> 00:34:52,347 Speaker 7: for business reasons as. 735 00:34:52,267 --> 00:34:54,827 Speaker 21: Well, So what has brought you across We are in 736 00:34:55,347 --> 00:34:58,067 Speaker 21: a company over here called Traffic Management New Zealand, so 737 00:34:58,187 --> 00:35:01,107 Speaker 21: it's the largest traffic management company across the country and 738 00:35:02,027 --> 00:35:04,387 Speaker 21: yeah where we bought it a couple of years ago, 739 00:35:04,387 --> 00:35:07,187 Speaker 21: and we're delighted to be here and very very well 740 00:35:07,307 --> 00:35:08,827 Speaker 21: warmly welcomed by the Kiwi's. 741 00:35:10,107 --> 00:35:12,547 Speaker 18: I've loved working for the Altars group that owned this 742 00:35:12,587 --> 00:35:16,227 Speaker 18: traffic manager management New Zealand business because whilst I used 743 00:35:16,227 --> 00:35:18,307 Speaker 18: to come here with the rugby tours, I've gone to 744 00:35:18,427 --> 00:35:20,467 Speaker 18: parts of New Zealand that I never went to on 745 00:35:20,587 --> 00:35:21,107 Speaker 18: rugby tour. 746 00:35:21,147 --> 00:35:21,987 Speaker 3: So I've been to Gisbon. 747 00:35:22,347 --> 00:35:24,107 Speaker 8: We've been a Tonga nice. 748 00:35:27,907 --> 00:35:27,947 Speaker 3: Like. 749 00:35:28,387 --> 00:35:30,667 Speaker 18: We're trying to sort of get the local language to 750 00:35:31,027 --> 00:35:32,027 Speaker 18: roll off the Aussie tongue. 751 00:35:32,147 --> 00:35:34,667 Speaker 3: So you've got but you've got business interest in Australia 752 00:35:34,747 --> 00:35:36,947 Speaker 3: as well.

What was it like tackling Jonah Wow? 780 00:36:52,027 --> 00:36:54,827 Speaker 18: Okay, so I it was really interesting. In nineteen ninety 781 00:36:54,907 --> 00:36:57,587 Speaker 18: four I played in an Aussie twenty one side against 782 00:36:57,587 --> 00:37:01,547 Speaker 18: the Kiwi twenty one side that had Justin Marshall, Andrew Mertins, 783 00:37:01,627 --> 00:37:04,267 Speaker 18: Tane Randell like it was the next era of the 784 00:37:04,347 --> 00:37:06,907 Speaker 18: Albacks and a guy called Jonah Loomi, so that was 785 00:37:07,227 --> 00:37:10,267 Speaker 18: pre ninety ninety five where he blew the world away. 786 00:37:11,827 --> 00:37:14,627 Speaker 18: We used to it was almost like comedy sessions when 787 00:37:14,627 --> 00:37:16,947 Speaker 18: we'd do postgame reviews after you'd played a team with 788 00:37:17,027 --> 00:37:20,547 Speaker 18: joonahlomo in because we is as ossie rugby players took 789 00:37:20,587 --> 00:37:22,907 Speaker 18: great delight in watching anyone in the team get absolutely 790 00:37:22,987 --> 00:37:25,467 Speaker 18: pulverized by him and the way in which their body 791 00:37:25,507 --> 00:37:29,187 Speaker 18: would contort into all these weird shapes and sizes. So 792 00:37:30,147 --> 00:37:32,427 Speaker 18: we would also be laughing on the field like just 793 00:37:32,867 --> 00:37:36,467 Speaker 18: you couldn't stop him. He was and freak sometimes can 794 00:37:36,547 --> 00:37:39,187 Speaker 18: be not a great adjective to describe someone, but he 795 00:37:39,467 --> 00:37:43,027 Speaker 18: was unbelievable. If you went into a laboratory and said 796 00:37:43,467 --> 00:37:44,907 Speaker 18: I need a bit of size, I need a bit 797 00:37:44,947 --> 00:37:46,827 Speaker 18: of speed, I need a bit of someone that loves 798 00:37:46,907 --> 00:37:50,547 Speaker 18: contact or someone that loves running into people. Jonah Lomi 799 00:37:50,747 --> 00:37:54,867 Speaker 18: was like the perfect stereotype or prototype of a rugby player. 800 00:37:54,947 --> 00:37:55,467 Speaker 8: Phenomenal. 801 00:37:55,667 --> 00:37:56,027 Speaker 10: I love that. 802 00:37:56,107 --> 00:37:56,587 Speaker 18: Phenomenal. 803 00:37:56,667 --> 00:37:59,107 Speaker 7: What an explanation, All right, Ben, So how are you feeling? 804 00:37:59,267 --> 00:38:02,227 Speaker 7: Where would you place your level of optimism about this afternoon? 805 00:38:03,627 --> 00:38:06,187 Speaker 10: Marginally higher than what it's been for the last ten years. 806 00:38:06,427 --> 00:38:08,787 Speaker 20: I mean every time I come into it with any hope, 807 00:38:08,787 --> 00:38:10,867 Speaker 20: I end up walking away bitterly disappointed. 808 00:38:10,947 --> 00:38:13,267 Speaker 3: But I think, yeah, off the back of a really 809 00:38:13,347 --> 00:38:14,187 Speaker 3: strong lines to. 810 00:38:16,387 --> 00:38:18,667 Speaker 20: A pretty average lead in for the All Blacks, I mean, 811 00:38:18,707 --> 00:38:21,547 Speaker 20: if there's ever a time I feel like this is 812 00:38:21,627 --> 00:38:22,147 Speaker 20: the one. 813 00:38:22,147 --> 00:38:24,307 Speaker 8: So yeah, optimistic. 814 00:38:25,107 --> 00:38:28,787 Speaker 18: We've obviously been through a fairly long and protracted period 815 00:38:28,867 --> 00:38:33,147 Speaker 18: of non success in Australian rugby, so we take a 816 00:38:33,227 --> 00:38:34,987 Speaker 18: little bit of a delight in the fact that there's 817 00:38:35,107 --> 00:38:38,907 Speaker 18: uncomfortability in the Kiwi scene at the moment. That second 818 00:38:38,987 --> 00:38:44,147 Speaker 18: half against the Springbox recently was phenomenal for the spring Box, 819 00:38:44,267 --> 00:38:46,907 Speaker 18: not so much for the All Blacks. The Wallaby's had 820 00:38:46,907 --> 00:38:49,227 Speaker 18: a half a football against the Springboks in Johannesburg which 821 00:38:50,187 --> 00:38:52,027 Speaker 18: got the rugby world to step up and sit up 822 00:38:52,027 --> 00:38:54,027 Speaker 18: and go wow, this Wallaby side has got some potential. 823 00:38:54,107 --> 00:38:56,667 Speaker 18: So I think this afternoon, I don't think we've got 824 00:38:56,707 --> 00:38:58,907 Speaker 18: our strongest side. I think Will Skelton being is a 825 00:38:58,947 --> 00:39:02,347 Speaker 18: big loss and it's a shame that he's not available 826 00:39:02,427 --> 00:39:04,707 Speaker 18: till next week. He has such a presence and I 827 00:39:04,787 --> 00:39:06,947 Speaker 18: think we saw the influence he had in that line series, 828 00:39:07,027 --> 00:39:09,547 Speaker 18: So I don't think we've got our stronger side.

Pornicky coached by a colleague of you of ours, 924 00:43:18,707 --> 00:43:22,307 Speaker 23: Ross bond I'm sure he'll be as tense as usual, 925 00:43:22,987 --> 00:43:24,587 Speaker 23: and so I'm hoping for a big one, just just 926 00:43:24,667 --> 00:43:27,387 Speaker 23: for the city's sake. So Bondi doesn't go off after 927 00:43:27,507 --> 00:43:29,427 Speaker 23: the game, and my thoughts go out to the referee, 928 00:43:29,467 --> 00:43:32,627 Speaker 23: who will be hearing plenty for our friend Ross bond. 929 00:43:32,547 --> 00:43:35,867 Speaker 7: Indeed years I think Bondi's reputation proceeds him.

How important is the 1001 00:46:45,667 --> 00:46:49,507 Speaker 7: locking combination in the you know, an effect of forward pack? 1002 00:46:49,707 --> 00:46:52,027 Speaker 24: It is absolutely a partnership like a nine ten, like 1003 00:46:52,107 --> 00:46:54,387 Speaker 24: a twelve thirteen, And they are partnerships. You have to 1004 00:46:54,467 --> 00:46:57,067 Speaker 24: work off each other, you have to understand each other's role. 1005 00:46:57,587 --> 00:46:59,587 Speaker 24: And the great thing I always used to be when 1006 00:46:59,627 --> 00:47:01,867 Speaker 24: I was a rob. I knew you. He's always had 1007 00:47:01,947 --> 00:47:06,667 Speaker 24: my back. Great footballer Robin Brook really tough, under stood 1008 00:47:06,707 --> 00:47:10,507 Speaker 24: the game, uncompromising, so you knew exactly what he was 1009 00:47:10,547 --> 00:47:12,747 Speaker 24: going to do in his role, which allowed me to 1010 00:47:12,827 --> 00:47:15,467 Speaker 24: do my role a little bit wider than that. But 1011 00:47:15,707 --> 00:47:18,667 Speaker 24: she always knew he was always going to front. And 1012 00:47:18,747 --> 00:47:20,667 Speaker 24: when you know that, when you have so much trust 1013 00:47:20,827 --> 00:47:23,987 Speaker 24: and faith and the guy you're sitting beside the changing sheds, 1014 00:47:24,187 --> 00:47:26,747 Speaker 24: the guy you're locking the scrum with in a Test match, 1015 00:47:27,467 --> 00:47:30,787 Speaker 24: it's just gold pinting. And I always had my rob, 1016 00:47:30,787 --> 00:47:31,587 Speaker 24: always had my back. 1017 00:47:31,947 --> 00:47:33,907 Speaker 7: You came into the All Blacks in nineteen eighty nine 1018 00:47:34,667 --> 00:47:37,587 Speaker 7: and a very very good All Black side. It was 1019 00:47:37,707 --> 00:47:40,507 Speaker 7: from the eighty seven World Cup onwards. You came into 1020 00:47:40,547 --> 00:47:43,627 Speaker 7: that side as a twenty two year old. Was there 1021 00:47:43,707 --> 00:47:44,987 Speaker 7: in any way daunting for you? 1022 00:47:46,827 --> 00:47:50,147 Speaker 24: Funny enough, it wasn't. Because just had the self belief. 1023 00:47:50,587 --> 00:47:53,307 Speaker 24: I wanted to be there. I felt comfortable being there, 1024 00:47:53,587 --> 00:47:56,067 Speaker 24: had really good teammates kind of around me. I went 1025 00:47:56,147 --> 00:47:58,987 Speaker 24: on that first tour in eighty nine Murray Pears and 1026 00:47:59,067 --> 00:48:01,907 Speaker 24: go wed him with the incumbents say the Test locks. 1027 00:48:02,467 --> 00:48:04,707 Speaker 24: So I got comfortable being in that environment. But I 1028 00:48:04,867 --> 00:48:09,267 Speaker 24: wanted more and my break came when Murray Pears at 1029 00:48:09,307 --> 00:48:10,947 Speaker 24: the end of eight and nine went to South Africa. 1030 00:48:11,027 --> 00:48:13,987 Speaker 24: So there's a whole this vacancy in the locking for 1031 00:48:14,107 --> 00:48:18,827 Speaker 24: nineteen ninety. Thankfully, Gris Wiley rop So the great coach, 1032 00:48:18,987 --> 00:48:22,947 Speaker 24: gave me an opportunity in nineteen ninety and then started 1033 00:48:22,987 --> 00:48:26,107 Speaker 24: locking this grum with Gary Wton. Murray Peas actually came back, 1034 00:48:26,267 --> 00:48:28,707 Speaker 24: came on tour with us to France at the end 1035 00:48:28,747 --> 00:48:31,307 Speaker 24: of nineteen ninety and was a great mentor for me, 1036 00:48:31,507 --> 00:48:34,787 Speaker 24: great support for me. I managed to keep my test 1037 00:48:34,827 --> 00:48:37,347 Speaker 24: Scott and went all the way through till ninety nine, 1038 00:48:37,587 --> 00:48:40,547 Speaker 24: as you mentioned, but that was a break. And when 1039 00:48:40,547 --> 00:48:43,067 Speaker 24: you get an opportunity in sport, not just rugby, but 1040 00:48:43,187 --> 00:48:45,627 Speaker 24: in sport, and you can take that opportunity to take 1041 00:48:45,667 --> 00:48:48,187 Speaker 24: that chance, and then you can just grow and grow 1042 00:48:48,267 --> 00:48:50,787 Speaker 24: and draw. And there's always my ambition to play a test, 1043 00:48:51,227 --> 00:48:54,067 Speaker 24: to play multiple tests, to play fifty tests, and just 1044 00:48:54,227 --> 00:48:55,467 Speaker 24: keep building on that goal. 1045 00:48:55,547 --> 00:48:57,747 Speaker 7: Setting over one hundred games to the All Black, seventy 1046 00:48:57,827 --> 00:49:00,947 Speaker 7: nine of them were test matches. That team of the 1047 00:49:01,027 --> 00:49:02,827 Speaker 7: late eighties a dominant team, but the team you were 1048 00:49:02,907 --> 00:49:05,307 Speaker 7: part of the nineteen ninety six and ninety ninety seven, 1049 00:49:06,467 --> 00:49:10,187 Speaker 7: you know, utterly spectacular side. And I remember, and you 1050 00:49:10,267 --> 00:49:12,027 Speaker 7: will too, the game of Athletic Park when you met 1051 00:49:12,067 --> 00:49:14,667 Speaker 7: Australia forty three points to six on one of the 1052 00:49:14,747 --> 00:49:16,747 Speaker 7: worst Wellington days you can imagine, but one of the 1053 00:49:16,827 --> 00:49:19,547 Speaker 7: best displays of wet weather rugby ever. 1054 00:49:20,027 --> 00:49:21,547 Speaker 3: Do you recall much about that day? 1055 00:49:21,787 --> 00:49:24,867 Speaker 24: I recall the whole week, Piney, absolutely, because the whole 1056 00:49:24,947 --> 00:49:28,267 Speaker 24: week it was torrential rain and wanting to the whole 1057 00:49:28,307 --> 00:49:31,987 Speaker 24: week and John Hart just started to coming first year 1058 00:49:32,147 --> 00:49:34,227 Speaker 24: as all about coach. We'd had a beautiful wild up 1059 00:49:34,667 --> 00:49:37,947 Speaker 24: against the Sarmons. We knew what we were all about. 1060 00:49:38,027 --> 00:49:41,107 Speaker 24: We trained outdoors because we knew and John Hart knew 1061 00:49:41,187 --> 00:49:43,907 Speaker 24: these were the conditions that were about to face on Saturday. 1062 00:49:43,947 --> 00:49:45,987 Speaker 24: So we got into our heads this is the way 1063 00:49:46,027 --> 00:49:47,627 Speaker 24: we had to play. But we could steal back our 1064 00:49:47,707 --> 00:49:50,867 Speaker 24: skills in those conditions. So it's all about mindset of 1065 00:49:50,987 --> 00:49:54,147 Speaker 24: John Hart. Phenomenal coach got you into a place where 1066 00:49:54,187 --> 00:49:56,947 Speaker 24: you knew you were so confident in your ability, your 1067 00:49:57,027 --> 00:49:59,987 Speaker 24: teammate's ability, and how you could play. And so we 1068 00:50:00,147 --> 00:50:03,067 Speaker 24: just executed in ninety to ninety six and conditions that 1069 00:50:03,227 --> 00:50:05,627 Speaker 24: we in our mind were ready for. 1070 00:50:06,467 --> 00:50:08,627 Speaker 3: That team, that team that day. 1071 00:50:09,547 --> 00:50:13,507 Speaker 7: I mean, goodness, me doubt Fitzpatrick Brown, yourself and Robin Brook, 1072 00:50:13,547 --> 00:50:17,947 Speaker 7: Michael Jones, Josh Cronfeld and Sinney Marshall and Mertons Little 1073 00:50:17,987 --> 00:50:20,907 Speaker 7: and bunts, Lomu, Wilson, Cullen. 1074 00:50:21,627 --> 00:50:23,427 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know what to say about a 1075 00:50:23,507 --> 00:50:23,987 Speaker 3: team like that. 1076 00:50:24,267 --> 00:50:26,147 Speaker 24: Well, it's phenomenal. A lot of it set up, of 1077 00:50:26,227 --> 00:50:28,107 Speaker 24: course by Laura Mayins and nine to ninety five and 1078 00:50:28,187 --> 00:50:30,987 Speaker 24: all the hard work we did. Ninety five John Hart 1079 00:50:31,107 --> 00:50:34,147 Speaker 24: came in and just transformed who we were. Just our 1080 00:50:34,227 --> 00:50:38,027 Speaker 24: mindset a little bit brilliant, and we just backed each other. 1081 00:50:38,147 --> 00:50:40,467 Speaker 24: We had world cast players. But all you had to 1082 00:50:40,547 --> 00:50:43,907 Speaker 24: do in that ninety six side was your job, nothing more, 1083 00:50:44,307 --> 00:50:47,067 Speaker 24: nothing less. Just had to go there, get yourself into 1084 00:50:47,147 --> 00:50:51,307 Speaker 24: this mindset, your job, understand what you need to do, 1085 00:50:51,547 --> 00:50:54,467 Speaker 24: execute trust in the other fourteen we'll do. Executed the 1086 00:50:54,587 --> 00:50:56,667 Speaker 24: same outcome as what the outcome was. 1087 00:50:56,987 --> 00:50:59,867 Speaker 7: And that's kind of how we operated nineteen ninety four 1088 00:51:00,467 --> 00:51:02,787 Speaker 7: France out here, the try from the end of the Earth. 1089 00:51:03,267 --> 00:51:05,147 Speaker 3: Is that vivid in your memory for a different reason? 1090 00:51:05,387 --> 00:51:09,707 Speaker 24: Oh, I remember, it hurts, absolutely hurts, And I look 1091 00:51:09,787 --> 00:51:11,987 Speaker 24: back on that and with some shame that we were 1092 00:51:12,067 --> 00:51:15,347 Speaker 24: bought me all that we were ball watching so running 1093 00:51:15,667 --> 00:51:18,547 Speaker 24: to the ball where we should be standing in our position. 1094 00:51:18,747 --> 00:51:21,747 Speaker 24: We could have stopped that try. You know, eighty third 1095 00:51:21,827 --> 00:51:26,187 Speaker 24: minutes of the game, a little bit fatigued allowed the 1096 00:51:26,267 --> 00:51:30,147 Speaker 24: Frenchi's opportunity. They took the opportunity. But I look back 1097 00:51:30,227 --> 00:51:32,427 Speaker 24: and then should I could have done so much more personally. 1098 00:51:32,987 --> 00:51:37,507 Speaker 24: We could have stopped that, but we didn't. We now 1099 00:51:37,547 --> 00:51:40,667 Speaker 24: look back on this memory and it's phenomenal Pony to 1100 00:51:40,827 --> 00:51:42,707 Speaker 24: have a home ground and the Audicts don't have a 1101 00:51:42,787 --> 00:51:47,787 Speaker 24: home ground. We play everywhere, but our spiritual home often 1102 00:51:48,027 --> 00:51:51,187 Speaker 24: is referred to at Eden Park. And to think that 1103 00:51:51,427 --> 00:51:54,227 Speaker 24: we haven't lost a game at Eden Park since nineteen 1104 00:51:54,347 --> 00:51:59,867 Speaker 24: ninety four, fifty one test matches ago, it's crazy. So 1105 00:52:00,027 --> 00:52:03,147 Speaker 24: this is why this game tonight and every game since then, 1106 00:52:03,827 --> 00:52:07,107 Speaker 24: you've got to defend that fortress. It is about mindset, 1107 00:52:07,427 --> 00:52:09,867 Speaker 24: It is about stamping your authority. It is about this 1108 00:52:10,027 --> 00:52:12,827 Speaker 24: first ten minutes of this game, to make it so 1109 00:52:12,907 --> 00:52:15,507 Speaker 24: the Wallames go, shit, this is hard. There's no way 1110 00:52:15,547 --> 00:52:18,747 Speaker 24: we can win here. That's exactly how we got to 1111 00:52:18,747 --> 00:52:19,347 Speaker 24: start this game. 1112 00:52:19,467 --> 00:52:20,587 Speaker 7: I just want to ask you about a couple of 1113 00:52:20,627 --> 00:52:22,827 Speaker 7: players in the current side. Fabi and Holland is a 1114 00:52:22,907 --> 00:52:25,147 Speaker 7: new addition to the side in twenty twenty five. What 1115 00:52:25,227 --> 00:52:27,347 Speaker 7: if you made of his introduction a test Rugby love. 1116 00:52:27,267 --> 00:52:29,267 Speaker 24: Him because he's a big unit. He's a big unit 1117 00:52:29,347 --> 00:52:32,507 Speaker 24: who knows how to us his size. His work rate's phenomenal. 1118 00:52:32,587 --> 00:52:35,747 Speaker 24: You see big man on the ground popping up bang 1119 00:52:35,827 --> 00:52:38,267 Speaker 24: into the next phase, so that's really good. Understands his 1120 00:52:38,467 --> 00:52:40,827 Speaker 24: role as well, so he will play a little bit 1121 00:52:40,907 --> 00:52:44,347 Speaker 24: tighter tonight, with toy a little bit wider. So that's 1122 00:52:44,387 --> 00:52:47,547 Speaker 24: about the combination. What's my job tonight? Will Fabian Holand 1123 00:52:47,587 --> 00:52:49,107 Speaker 24: be is saying what's my role? What do you want 1124 00:52:49,147 --> 00:52:51,307 Speaker 24: from me? But what we want from him is just 1125 00:52:51,387 --> 00:52:55,307 Speaker 24: getting his big body and shifting the ruckshading plenty of rucks, 1126 00:52:55,627 --> 00:52:59,707 Speaker 24: taking the Wallabies out, actually physically dominating the Wallabies, making 1127 00:52:59,747 --> 00:53:03,547 Speaker 24: them hurt. Okay, that tuck the Wallabies. But we can't 1128 00:53:03,627 --> 00:53:05,627 Speaker 24: think like that. We have to think that the public 1129 00:53:05,667 --> 00:53:09,387 Speaker 24: schoolboys and absolutely get into them and they're allowed to 1130 00:53:09,507 --> 00:53:11,867 Speaker 24: govide wide to see I've loved the man. 1131 00:53:12,107 --> 00:53:14,907 Speaker 7: So to just say back into the second row. He's 1132 00:53:15,027 --> 00:53:18,387 Speaker 7: sort of been used at blindside flank. You know three 1133 00:53:18,507 --> 00:53:19,387 Speaker 7: or four times this year. 1134 00:53:19,547 --> 00:53:21,827 Speaker 3: Was there something that you ever considered to move to six? 1135 00:53:22,147 --> 00:53:22,387 Speaker 8: Shit? 1136 00:53:22,507 --> 00:53:24,387 Speaker 24: No, you look at the six is that he just 1137 00:53:24,467 --> 00:53:26,787 Speaker 24: talked about in my lineup? Was not going to get 1138 00:53:26,827 --> 00:53:29,707 Speaker 24: a chance anyway. But the great thing about tuber Viety, 1139 00:53:30,147 --> 00:53:33,307 Speaker 24: he still has the mindset of a type forward. He's 1140 00:53:33,347 --> 00:53:37,707 Speaker 24: thinking tight, he's thinking ruthlessness, uncompromising and all of those things, 1141 00:53:37,787 --> 00:53:39,867 Speaker 24: even when he's paying six. I liked him at six, 1142 00:53:40,467 --> 00:53:42,947 Speaker 24: but he's still got that mindset of getting over the ball, 1143 00:53:43,427 --> 00:53:46,427 Speaker 24: being negli, getting in the face of the opposition. And 1144 00:53:46,547 --> 00:53:47,867 Speaker 24: yet if you can get in the face of the 1145 00:53:47,907 --> 00:53:50,907 Speaker 24: opposition and put them off their game so they stopped 1146 00:53:50,947 --> 00:53:53,627 Speaker 24: thinking about their role, but what you're doing to them, 1147 00:53:53,947 --> 00:53:56,027 Speaker 24: that's a win for the All Backs. I love the 1148 00:53:56,067 --> 00:53:56,707 Speaker 24: way he plays. 1149 00:53:56,907 --> 00:54:01,107 Speaker 7: Yeah, brilliant general manager of the All Blacks experience. Now 1150 00:54:01,467 --> 00:54:04,867 Speaker 7: it's a job you clearly absolutely love.

They're different to the men, and that's good. 1160 00:54:31,467 --> 00:54:33,827 Speaker 24: Are the superpower that the woman can have leading up 1161 00:54:33,827 --> 00:54:36,267 Speaker 24: to a game is so different to the men. And 1162 00:54:36,347 --> 00:54:38,907 Speaker 24: the men, of course are the brand itself, the All Blacks. 1163 00:54:38,987 --> 00:54:42,867 Speaker 24: So we take people through this New Zealand story ready 1164 00:54:42,907 --> 00:54:45,827 Speaker 24: through our rugby lens. But the connection we all have 1165 00:54:46,107 --> 00:54:49,147 Speaker 24: to the game of rugby, whether we have players and 1166 00:54:49,267 --> 00:54:51,987 Speaker 24: what that joes events to us as players and our families, 1167 00:54:52,787 --> 00:54:55,627 Speaker 24: whether his fans like you, Piney, what that kind of means, 1168 00:54:57,227 --> 00:54:59,747 Speaker 24: the puye that you get when the Orbacks come out 1169 00:54:59,907 --> 00:55:01,667 Speaker 24: or the international is coming in. Want to learn a 1170 00:55:01,707 --> 00:55:03,827 Speaker 24: little bit of who are the All Backs and why 1171 00:55:03,907 --> 00:55:06,027 Speaker 24: are they so good? And that's why we like to 1172 00:55:06,067 --> 00:55:09,067 Speaker 24: share were all these secrets because when you share, Pinty, 1173 00:55:09,147 --> 00:55:12,027 Speaker 24: you learn, and when we share, it's always last year's 1174 00:55:12,387 --> 00:55:15,027 Speaker 24: secrets for sharing, which means while we've got to get better, 1175 00:55:15,187 --> 00:55:17,907 Speaker 24: yeah and better. So take people through the making how 1176 00:55:17,947 --> 00:55:20,587 Speaker 24: do you make it all Black or blackburn? Well, how 1177 00:55:20,787 --> 00:55:23,347 Speaker 24: you make an all black Pining? It's just that our 1178 00:55:23,387 --> 00:55:26,147 Speaker 24: kids love our game. If our kids love the game 1179 00:55:26,227 --> 00:55:28,747 Speaker 24: like you love the game, and they're connected to the 1180 00:55:28,787 --> 00:55:31,547 Speaker 24: game or then that's a win. Most actually won't become 1181 00:55:31,547 --> 00:55:34,587 Speaker 24: all blacks or blackburns, but if they're connected, that's what 1182 00:55:34,707 --> 00:55:37,347 Speaker 24: we're after. When we shape, we play some games, which 1183 00:55:37,427 --> 00:55:40,947 Speaker 24: is great, and then phenomenally this is amazing. What does 1184 00:55:40,987 --> 00:55:44,387 Speaker 24: it feel like, Piney being an all black all black fern? 1185 00:55:44,627 --> 00:55:47,147 Speaker 24: Will you sit in those changing rooms when you hear 1186 00:55:47,227 --> 00:55:48,267 Speaker 24: that knock on their door? 1187 00:55:48,947 --> 00:55:49,867 Speaker 3: What does that mean to you? 1188 00:55:50,467 --> 00:55:52,947 Speaker 24: And that's what we try and express to the money. 1189 00:55:52,987 --> 00:55:56,627 Speaker 24: How their visitors coming through before they connect with our haka, 1190 00:55:57,187 --> 00:55:59,907 Speaker 24: they walk down this tunnel. The anthems are starting to 1191 00:55:59,987 --> 00:56:02,747 Speaker 24: play the crowd, and we have the same for the 1192 00:56:02,827 --> 00:56:06,027 Speaker 24: all blacks. Tonight, Pining will be some all blacks stare tonight. 1193 00:56:06,587 --> 00:56:09,027 Speaker 24: Their minds will be clear. They could not wait to 1194 00:56:09,107 --> 00:56:11,747 Speaker 24: get on that field. They were born for that moment. 1195 00:56:12,067 --> 00:56:15,467 Speaker 24: Would there'll be other allbacks in the sheds tonight at 1196 00:56:15,547 --> 00:56:21,347 Speaker 24: five o'clock? Who the brain is muddled? The expectations legacy 1197 00:56:21,867 --> 00:56:24,587 Speaker 24: that Superman cakes some people got on would be a 1198 00:56:24,667 --> 00:56:28,067 Speaker 24: heavy cloak for others. And that's why I want people 1199 00:56:28,107 --> 00:56:31,067 Speaker 24: to experience when they come to the Allbacks Experience, would 1200 00:56:31,067 --> 00:56:33,347 Speaker 24: they be a great the game with a clear mind 1201 00:56:33,947 --> 00:56:36,067 Speaker 24: or would they just be a good Ruby player with 1202 00:56:36,107 --> 00:56:39,787 Speaker 24: a muddled mind? And then you've got to face the Huckers. 1203 00:56:39,867 --> 00:56:43,267 Speaker 24: So God, I'm doing because you've invited me onto the 1204 00:56:43,347 --> 00:56:46,467 Speaker 24: show and I appreciate this, piny.

When we have a legacy wall, 1213 00:57:16,947 --> 00:57:20,507 Speaker 24: which shows you the win, loss and draw of every 1214 00:57:20,707 --> 00:57:23,227 Speaker 24: All Blacks are tests.

Your mindset 1269 01:00:09,427 --> 01:00:11,827 Speaker 24: is an All Backs sitting there now. Should be no 1270 01:00:12,027 --> 01:00:15,427 Speaker 24: other thought. It's about what's my job? What do I 1271 01:00:15,547 --> 01:00:17,867 Speaker 24: have to do for that first ten minutes? And how 1272 01:00:17,987 --> 01:00:20,307 Speaker 24: ruthless can I can be? There should be no other 1273 01:00:20,947 --> 01:00:24,227 Speaker 24: thought ever come into your mind.

Do I'd have no other thoughts? Yep, 1286 01:00:53,827 --> 01:00:56,667 Speaker 24: A lot of self belief. Maybe you might say arrogance 1287 01:00:56,747 --> 01:00:58,947 Speaker 24: as well. But it's a fine line, piny, But I 1288 01:00:59,107 --> 01:01:03,107 Speaker 24: have no other thought to go in there.

I'm pretty I 1371 01:04:18,947 --> 01:04:21,627 Speaker 26: reckon it will be thirteen plus and then Perth will 1372 01:04:21,627 --> 01:04:23,347 Speaker 26: be a different story. It could be a tight game, 1373 01:04:23,427 --> 01:04:25,427 Speaker 26: but they'll have to leave it up their sleeve that 1374 01:04:25,747 --> 01:04:28,507 Speaker 26: and bet on their shoulder that they want to prove 1375 01:04:28,587 --> 01:04:30,027 Speaker 26: to the public that they're up for a day. 1376 01:04:30,427 --> 01:04:31,147 Speaker 3: No, I think you're right. 1377 01:04:31,187 --> 01:04:34,107 Speaker 7: I think when the All Blacks lose, and particularly when 1378 01:04:34,147 --> 01:04:36,667 Speaker 7: they get tied up, Yeah, the responses off and brutal, 1379 01:04:36,707 --> 01:04:38,547 Speaker 7: isn't it?

Man, I expect a brutal, 1382 01:04:45,387 --> 01:04:47,987 Speaker 7: brutal but you're so right about Perth because we beat 1383 01:04:48,107 --> 01:04:50,547 Speaker 7: Argentina then lost to them, beats out Africa then lost 1384 01:04:50,587 --> 01:04:50,787 Speaker 7: to them. 1385 01:04:50,827 --> 01:04:52,427 Speaker 3: If we beat Australia, we could go to Perth and 1386 01:04:52,507 --> 01:04:53,027 Speaker 3: not win that one. 1387 01:04:53,067 --> 01:04:55,027 Speaker 24: Neil, Yes, dead right, Yeah, all right. 1388 01:04:55,307 --> 01:04:57,347 Speaker 3: But but it's good that you feel confident. 1389 01:04:57,347 --> 01:04:59,467 Speaker 7: And if you're about the five to five o'clock kickoff, 1390 01:04:59,667 --> 01:05:01,547 Speaker 7: I guess it sort of cuts into your build up, 1391 01:05:01,587 --> 01:05:02,267 Speaker 7: doesn't it a little bit? 1392 01:05:03,867 --> 01:05:04,787 Speaker 10: Coming here to the challenge? 1393 01:05:04,827 --> 01:05:07,027 Speaker 6: You know, the red it's your challenge is nice build 1394 01:05:07,067 --> 01:05:08,827 Speaker 6: up to the to the test, and that means I 1395 01:05:08,867 --> 01:05:10,427 Speaker 6: can go to give the bit because I'm giving a 1396 01:05:10,467 --> 01:05:10,787 Speaker 6: bit older. 1397 01:05:12,107 --> 01:05:15,307 Speaker 7: Now you're talking my language, Neil, Now you're talking my language, right, boys, 1398 01:05:15,307 --> 01:05:18,747 Speaker 7: give us a quick prediction of a winning margin before 1399 01:05:18,787 --> 01:05:19,307 Speaker 7: you go to you. 1400 01:05:19,707 --> 01:05:23,267 Speaker 26: Yeah, I reckon probably all let's say thirty four or 1401 01:05:23,387 --> 01:05:24,147 Speaker 26: sixteen ash. 1402 01:05:24,107 --> 01:05:25,947 Speaker 3: Or something nice, good winning margin. 1403 01:05:25,987 --> 01:05:28,387 Speaker 24: I'll probably very close to that.

Wow, I always laughed. I 1500 01:09:34,747 --> 01:09:37,387 Speaker 27: laugh at myself purely because it's a black and white photo, 1501 01:09:37,667 --> 01:09:40,627 Speaker 27: but obviously quite a significant moment. But I've hate my 1502 01:09:40,827 --> 01:09:44,187 Speaker 27: fair share of all black glosses, particularly in Sydney over 1503 01:09:44,267 --> 01:09:48,147 Speaker 27: the years, and I hate losing to them. And we've 1504 01:09:48,187 --> 01:09:50,307 Speaker 27: got a great record at Eden Park and we definitely 1505 01:09:50,387 --> 01:09:52,507 Speaker 27: just need to maintain that tonight. And I love the 1506 01:09:52,587 --> 01:09:53,467 Speaker 27: afternoon football. 1507 01:09:54,427 --> 01:09:54,627 Speaker 10: Yeah. 1508 01:09:54,707 --> 01:09:57,187 Speaker 7: Look, I'm a fan, so I know not everybody is, 1509 01:09:57,587 --> 01:09:59,947 Speaker 7: but look, I mean I think people can sort of 1510 01:09:59,987 --> 01:10:02,867 Speaker 7: get their build up underway early. You're obviously not too 1511 01:10:02,907 --> 01:10:04,547 Speaker 7: far away, so hopefully you can make it in for 1512 01:10:04,707 --> 01:10:08,667 Speaker 7: a for a pretest beer as well. And you're right, Greg, 1513 01:10:08,707 --> 01:10:11,107 Speaker 7: I mean you're a similar generation to me and that, 1514 01:10:11,547 --> 01:10:12,987 Speaker 7: by the sounds of it may be a bit younger. 1515 01:10:13,227 --> 01:10:15,587 Speaker 3: But you didn't used to know from test to test, 1516 01:10:15,707 --> 01:10:18,027 Speaker 3: did you, whether we were going to win or whether 1517 01:10:18,107 --> 01:10:19,067 Speaker 3: Australia were going to win? 1518 01:10:20,667 --> 01:10:20,907 Speaker 14: Yeah? 1519 01:10:20,947 --> 01:10:21,347 Speaker 22: Too, right? 1520 01:10:21,547 --> 01:10:24,267 Speaker 27: Where tonight's my one hundred and second Test match. 1521 01:10:25,667 --> 01:10:26,107 Speaker 19: On board? 1522 01:10:26,587 --> 01:10:31,067 Speaker 7: Get out one hundred and two Test matches? A holy 1523 01:10:31,187 --> 01:10:35,267 Speaker 7: old battle from a mate, mate, that is inspirational. Well, 1524 01:10:35,507 --> 01:10:37,907 Speaker 7: I hope the Southern Motorway clears in time for you 1525 01:10:37,987 --> 01:10:39,627 Speaker 7: to get here, mate, if you if you're popping into 1526 01:10:39,627 --> 01:10:41,667 Speaker 7: the Kingslander, if you can get here before three, mate, 1527 01:10:41,747 --> 01:10:44,387 Speaker 7: or shout your beer. Drive safe though until then, oh 1528 01:10:44,427 --> 01:10:46,747 Speaker 7: eight hundred and eighty ten eighties our number now, Neil, 1529 01:10:46,787 --> 01:10:49,427 Speaker 7: you were there in eighty six when campees he broke 1530 01:10:49,467 --> 01:10:50,387 Speaker 7: our hearts. 1531 01:10:51,707 --> 01:10:54,227 Speaker 22: Yes, I was piney and I was sitting with some 1532 01:10:54,307 --> 01:10:58,547 Speaker 22: friends in the what was in the west stand. Just 1533 01:10:58,827 --> 01:11:02,427 Speaker 22: historically there was a year of the baby Backs and 1534 01:11:02,947 --> 01:11:05,667 Speaker 22: I remember they lost Darroly in the first Test. It 1535 01:11:05,907 --> 01:11:09,747 Speaker 22: was second Test. We had the Cavalier attorneys and we thought, oh, 1536 01:11:09,827 --> 01:11:13,987 Speaker 22: we'll white or all over the Aussies, and again it 1537 01:11:14,107 --> 01:11:16,747 Speaker 22: was a narrow wind, which was a bit surprising. And 1538 01:11:16,827 --> 01:11:18,787 Speaker 22: then in the third test, the thing that stood out 1539 01:11:18,867 --> 01:11:22,387 Speaker 22: for me was that we were frantically running round the 1540 01:11:22,547 --> 01:11:28,387 Speaker 22: age as Frano Botka was first five, almost like Headner's chickens, 1541 01:11:28,867 --> 01:11:32,987 Speaker 22: and the Aussie defense just held us and basically wore 1542 01:11:33,107 --> 01:11:35,987 Speaker 22: us out. And then we seemed to lose the plot 1543 01:11:36,067 --> 01:11:40,747 Speaker 22: as to how to change our game plan and they 1544 01:11:40,867 --> 01:11:44,107 Speaker 22: just I think the Aussis just wore us down and 1545 01:11:44,227 --> 01:11:45,107 Speaker 22: that contributed to. 1546 01:11:45,187 --> 01:11:46,227 Speaker 11: Our defeat on the day. 1547 01:11:47,027 --> 01:11:48,427 Speaker 3: Now you might be able to confirm this. 1548 01:11:48,987 --> 01:11:51,627 Speaker 7: I had a feeling that right at the end of 1549 01:11:51,667 --> 01:11:55,747 Speaker 7: that game, New Zealand needed to make a replacement and 1550 01:11:56,987 --> 01:12:00,347 Speaker 7: sort of in the midfield positions, and I think Marty 1551 01:12:00,467 --> 01:12:02,867 Speaker 7: Barry might have come on right at the end for 1552 01:12:02,987 --> 01:12:05,867 Speaker 7: his one and only test, but didn't get on in 1553 01:12:06,027 --> 01:12:09,827 Speaker 7: time to fill the gap that David Campease actually went 1554 01:12:09,907 --> 01:12:12,547 Speaker 7: through to score the try. Does that sound familiar? 1555 01:12:14,267 --> 01:12:16,307 Speaker 10: No, your memory is better than mine, Poney. 1556 01:12:17,827 --> 01:12:21,147 Speaker 22: I don't remember that incident. I remember kier and Cowley 1557 01:12:21,587 --> 01:12:27,027 Speaker 22: not having a very successful goal kicking day, which happens 1558 01:12:27,067 --> 01:12:30,507 Speaker 22: to all of us. But yeah, no, I don't remember 1559 01:12:30,587 --> 01:12:34,547 Speaker 22: that replacement incident, but again that's just me not remembering it. 1560 01:12:35,187 --> 01:12:35,947 Speaker 3: No, no, not at all. 1561 01:12:36,107 --> 01:12:38,947 Speaker 7: I just I think, actually I don't remember it as such, 1562 01:12:39,067 --> 01:12:42,587 Speaker 7: but I remember having that story told to me. And yeah, 1563 01:12:42,627 --> 01:12:44,227 Speaker 7: but whether or not it would have made any difference 1564 01:12:44,267 --> 01:12:46,387 Speaker 7: had there been somebody there, I mean a twenty two 1565 01:12:46,467 --> 01:12:49,907 Speaker 7: points to nine when was in the context of matches 1566 01:12:49,907 --> 01:12:51,867 Speaker 7: at that time, as you know, which were very close 1567 01:12:51,947 --> 01:12:54,987 Speaker 7: between Bill Blacks and the Wallabies, was quite significant. So 1568 01:12:55,707 --> 01:12:58,347 Speaker 7: let's hope that it doesn't repeat itself tonight. Are you 1569 01:12:58,427 --> 01:12:59,547 Speaker 7: feeling confident. 1570 01:13:02,227 --> 01:13:02,627 Speaker 11: Largely? 1571 01:13:02,867 --> 01:13:06,187 Speaker 22: But I'm just aware that Joe Smith is that clever 1572 01:13:06,667 --> 01:13:09,947 Speaker 22: and he might decide. I think he's probably worked out 1573 01:13:10,027 --> 01:13:15,387 Speaker 22: that sturdy Australian defense is probably his best method to 1574 01:13:15,507 --> 01:13:16,827 Speaker 22: get a favorable result. 1575 01:13:18,187 --> 01:13:19,947 Speaker 3: Great work, Neil, good to chat to you mate. 1576 01:13:20,267 --> 01:13:23,427 Speaker 7: Really have enjoyed reminiscing with you Hill, not so much 1577 01:13:23,427 --> 01:13:26,587 Speaker 7: about eighty six but about matches from the last forty 1578 01:13:26,667 --> 01:13:28,507 Speaker 7: years or so.

But yeah, not entirely sure, 1625 01:15:36,907 --> 01:15:37,827 Speaker 11: especially with those outs. 1626 01:15:38,147 --> 01:15:40,107 Speaker 7: Do you still feel as though the Wallabies are on 1627 01:15:40,187 --> 01:15:43,467 Speaker 7: an upward trajectory that you know, it seems to be 1628 01:15:43,867 --> 01:15:45,547 Speaker 7: the improvements obvious, isn't it. 1629 01:15:46,027 --> 01:15:50,587 Speaker 11: Yeah, you take what was like ground zero and I'd 1630 01:15:50,667 --> 01:15:53,747 Speaker 11: say that was just after the last World Cup and 1631 01:15:55,227 --> 01:15:57,787 Speaker 11: Eddie Jones now his reputation in Australian rugby is that 1632 01:15:57,907 --> 01:16:00,147 Speaker 11: of a scorch to his policy pretty much of how 1633 01:16:00,227 --> 01:16:02,347 Speaker 11: he did things and it didn't pay off at that 1634 01:16:02,427 --> 01:16:04,947 Speaker 11: World Cup. And then what's been built since. Joe Schmidt 1635 01:16:05,787 --> 01:16:08,867 Speaker 11: absolutely clear that it's going in the right direction. So yeah, 1636 01:16:08,907 --> 01:16:11,747 Speaker 11: we'll see how far they have actually come in a 1637 01:16:11,787 --> 01:16:13,107 Speaker 11: good game like this this afternoon. 1638 01:16:13,267 --> 01:16:16,427 Speaker 7: Indeed, all right, it's not the only big sporting fixture 1639 01:16:16,867 --> 01:16:19,547 Speaker 7: on the Australian calendar today. In fact, probably the biggest 1640 01:16:19,627 --> 01:16:23,147 Speaker 7: day on the Australian sporting calendar the AFL Grand Final 1641 01:16:23,547 --> 01:16:25,907 Speaker 7: Geelong against the Brisbane lines that are sold out. 1642 01:16:26,067 --> 01:16:30,027 Speaker 3: Mcg This is the biggest day, isn't in an Australian sport. 1643 01:16:31,267 --> 01:16:33,707 Speaker 11: It's probably the biggest weekend because we've got all this 1644 01:16:33,947 --> 01:16:37,347 Speaker 11: and then yeah we've got the bladderslaw thrown in and 1645 01:16:37,387 --> 01:16:39,227 Speaker 11: I don't know what we're going to be administrators are 1646 01:16:39,267 --> 01:16:41,467 Speaker 11: doing trying to go head to head with all of 1647 01:16:41,507 --> 01:16:42,267 Speaker 11: this in Australia. 1648 01:16:42,307 --> 01:16:42,627 Speaker 25: And I know. 1649 01:16:42,707 --> 01:16:45,627 Speaker 11: Australia only has a quarter vote in the Rugby Championship 1650 01:16:45,667 --> 01:16:47,867 Speaker 11: in Southern Nations to take into account as well. But 1651 01:16:48,307 --> 01:16:50,067 Speaker 11: if you want to maximize your prior, I can get 1652 01:16:50,107 --> 01:16:51,587 Speaker 11: fresh air for it. I don't think this is the 1653 01:16:51,627 --> 01:16:53,827 Speaker 11: way to go about it because the AFL Grand Final 1654 01:16:54,147 --> 01:16:56,307 Speaker 11: it's one of those that's our little luck mini super 1655 01:16:56,347 --> 01:16:58,507 Speaker 11: Bowl that even if you're not interested in AFL you 1656 01:16:58,827 --> 01:17:00,707 Speaker 11: probably tune in and have a look at it, especially 1657 01:17:00,707 --> 01:17:04,307 Speaker 11: because they've got Snoop Dogg playing Preak Brigade entertainment, you know, 1658 01:17:04,347 --> 01:17:07,147 Speaker 11: it brings a lot of other people in. So yeah, 1659 01:17:07,907 --> 01:17:10,787 Speaker 11: it is a huge weekend overall. In Melbourne. It's the 1660 01:17:10,827 --> 01:17:13,667 Speaker 11: biggest thing since I perd Our Day in September and 1661 01:17:13,907 --> 01:17:15,787 Speaker 11: it's huge and they'll have one hundred thousand there. But 1662 01:17:16,547 --> 01:17:18,467 Speaker 11: the rest of the country kind of goes along for 1663 01:17:18,547 --> 01:17:20,507 Speaker 11: the ride for those few hours at the game's on, 1664 01:17:20,667 --> 01:17:23,787 Speaker 11: which makes it unfortunate that it's directly head to head 1665 01:17:23,827 --> 01:17:27,227 Speaker 11: with the Bladders. Like the Bladders itself deserves its own 1666 01:17:27,307 --> 01:17:28,667 Speaker 11: time slot and its own fresh air. 1667 01:17:28,907 --> 01:17:31,267 Speaker 7: This is the Brisbane line's third straight appearance in the 1668 01:17:31,307 --> 01:17:34,027 Speaker 7: Grand Final. Are they favorites or right Geelong favorites? 1669 01:17:34,187 --> 01:17:37,667 Speaker 11: Oh, Geelong of favorites. Brisbane have done well to get there. 1670 01:17:37,947 --> 01:17:42,467 Speaker 11: They've had issues around their best player locking Neil being fit, 1671 01:17:42,747 --> 01:17:46,067 Speaker 11: but Slong are just this great unit and they've had 1672 01:17:46,147 --> 01:17:48,307 Speaker 11: so much consistency over the last twenty year. They're always 1673 01:17:48,347 --> 01:17:50,467 Speaker 11: there or thereabout. They never have bad years Geelong, and 1674 01:17:51,067 --> 01:17:54,227 Speaker 11: they made the last game of the season again and 1675 01:17:54,747 --> 01:17:55,627 Speaker 11: deserving favorite. 1676 01:17:55,747 --> 01:17:57,427 Speaker 7: We'll keep eyes on that this afternoon and then of 1677 01:17:57,507 --> 01:18:01,227 Speaker 7: course the NRL preliminary finals. The Storm into the Grand 1678 01:18:01,307 --> 01:18:03,827 Speaker 7: Final are twenty to fourteen. Went over the Sharks in 1679 01:18:03,867 --> 01:18:05,827 Speaker 7: Melbourne last night. They're going to play the winner of 1680 01:18:05,907 --> 01:18:08,387 Speaker 7: tomorrow match between the Broncos. 1681 01:18:07,867 --> 01:18:08,747 Speaker 3: And the Panthers. 1682 01:18:10,347 --> 01:18:11,787 Speaker 7: The Panthers, I think we'll see that the last two 1683 01:18:11,867 --> 01:18:13,387 Speaker 7: or three weeks. They just seem to be on this 1684 01:18:13,867 --> 01:18:17,427 Speaker 7: inevitable sort of road to the Grand Final. Or might 1685 01:18:17,507 --> 01:18:18,787 Speaker 7: it stop in Brucebane tomorrow? 1686 01:18:19,307 --> 01:18:22,307 Speaker 11: Yeah, it could do. Just like it's a flick at 1687 01:18:22,307 --> 01:18:24,347 Speaker 11: the corner, I reckon, but it's a good floop at 1688 01:18:24,347 --> 01:18:26,027 Speaker 11: the coin because it would be far up and open, 1689 01:18:26,347 --> 01:18:28,627 Speaker 11: really warm conditions up at Brisbane. I think it'll be 1690 01:18:28,707 --> 01:18:30,987 Speaker 11: a great game of footy in the afternoon footy as well. 1691 01:18:30,987 --> 01:18:32,467 Speaker 11: And that's one thing about the Blood as I would 1692 01:18:32,467 --> 01:18:36,187 Speaker 11: say that hopefully it's away from the wet at night, 1693 01:18:36,307 --> 01:18:39,907 Speaker 11: which can happen that they ping it around a bit, 1694 01:18:39,947 --> 01:18:41,827 Speaker 11: and that's certainly what's going to happen in the NURL 1695 01:18:42,067 --> 01:18:45,587 Speaker 11: Prelium final. Look to the majority of the year we 1696 01:18:45,667 --> 01:18:48,347 Speaker 11: had Caner all the Bulldogs on top and we're thinking, oh, 1697 01:18:48,467 --> 01:18:51,307 Speaker 11: finally something different. But for all in sent and purposes, 1698 01:18:51,387 --> 01:18:52,907 Speaker 11: we could end up in the same GREAD final as 1699 01:18:52,907 --> 01:18:55,627 Speaker 11: the last year in Melbourne. Melbourne and Penrith and Penrith 1700 01:18:55,667 --> 01:18:57,387 Speaker 11: had just come good at the right time, they freshened 1701 01:18:57,387 --> 01:18:59,627 Speaker 11: their players up. So I just favored the Emmiga in Brisbane. 1702 01:18:59,667 --> 01:19:01,307 Speaker 11: But there should be a fantastic. 1703 01:19:00,867 --> 01:19:04,147 Speaker 7: And footy and whoever goes through, well, actually we can't 1704 01:19:04,147 --> 01:19:05,867 Speaker 7: really say that because I get the feeling of Penrith 1705 01:19:05,947 --> 01:19:08,267 Speaker 7: go through. The'll probably be favorites against the Storm, but 1706 01:19:08,867 --> 01:19:11,187 Speaker 7: would the Storm. I mean, they must be confident they're 1707 01:19:11,267 --> 01:19:14,307 Speaker 7: there again. Craig Bellamy just knows how to get these 1708 01:19:14,347 --> 01:19:15,107 Speaker 7: things done, doesn't he. 1709 01:19:15,507 --> 01:19:18,667 Speaker 11: Yeah, eleventh Grand Final for Craig Bellamy, it's an incredible 1710 01:19:18,707 --> 01:19:22,827 Speaker 11: record and look he's got this side playing well. But 1711 01:19:23,627 --> 01:19:26,107 Speaker 11: you get the feeling that they haven't totally clicked for 1712 01:19:26,187 --> 01:19:29,067 Speaker 11: eighty minutes. But I've been saying to people, maybe that's 1713 01:19:29,187 --> 01:19:32,027 Speaker 11: just them. Maybe they're not as good as some of 1714 01:19:32,147 --> 01:19:34,387 Speaker 11: maybe the other Storm teams had been over the past, 1715 01:19:34,427 --> 01:19:38,107 Speaker 11: that they've got so much strike. They're a bit different 1716 01:19:38,387 --> 01:19:40,307 Speaker 11: Melbourne when they were great back in the day, they 1717 01:19:40,347 --> 01:19:42,867 Speaker 11: were methodical and they wore teams down and they just 1718 01:19:42,947 --> 01:19:44,787 Speaker 11: ground them into the dirt. But this team can just 1719 01:19:44,827 --> 01:19:46,787 Speaker 11: come up with the try out of nowhere, so they're 1720 01:19:46,827 --> 01:19:50,187 Speaker 11: pretty good to watch. But yeah, I think if Melbourn 1721 01:19:50,187 --> 01:19:52,387 Speaker 11: played prison in the Grand File, Melbourne going his favorite 1722 01:19:52,387 --> 01:19:54,187 Speaker 11: because if Penrod might be ground file, they have their 1723 01:19:54,187 --> 01:19:55,587 Speaker 11: favorite because they wont for and or Roll. 1724 01:19:56,147 --> 01:19:58,027 Speaker 7: And yeah, it's one of those weekends where you need 1725 01:19:58,067 --> 01:20:00,187 Speaker 7: screens everywhere. We haven't even talked about the Ryder Cup, 1726 01:20:00,387 --> 01:20:02,347 Speaker 7: which I know you keep hys F as well. So 1727 01:20:02,787 --> 01:20:05,027 Speaker 7: good luck getting anything else done across this weekend apart 1728 01:20:05,027 --> 01:20:07,947 Speaker 7: from watching sport. Adam good to chat as always. We'll 1729 01:20:07,947 --> 01:20:10,227 Speaker 7: do it again next Saturday. You too, find have it 1730 01:20:10,267 --> 01:20:12,467 Speaker 7: the one you have a good one too at Amana Peacock. 1731 01:20:12,547 --> 01:20:16,067 Speaker 7: Our Australian corresponded with news from across the Tasman Year. 1732 01:20:16,227 --> 01:20:19,667 Speaker 7: Massive day in Melbourne, obviously, I'm sure there are plenty 1733 01:20:19,707 --> 01:20:22,027 Speaker 7: of Victorians who don't even know there's a rugby game on. 1734 01:20:22,467 --> 01:20:25,907 Speaker 7: They seem to be fairly blinked in Victoria towards the 1735 01:20:25,947 --> 01:20:26,907 Speaker 7: AFL Grand Final. 1736 01:20:26,947 --> 01:20:29,427 Speaker 3: But it is a massive massification. 1737 01:20:29,787 --> 01:20:33,067 Speaker 7: Huge Geelong Lions against the sorry Geelong Cats against the 1738 01:20:33,107 --> 01:20:35,947 Speaker 7: Brisbane Lions this afternoon. Almost got myself in trouble there 1739 01:20:36,347 --> 01:20:39,307 Speaker 7: and looking forward to seeing how that pans out. A 1740 01:20:39,347 --> 01:20:42,307 Speaker 7: little bit later on this afternoon four thirty is when 1741 01:20:42,347 --> 01:20:43,867 Speaker 7: that game is underway. And of course don't forget the 1742 01:20:44,027 --> 01:20:47,667 Speaker 7: NRL with the second of those matches with a Grand 1743 01:20:47,747 --> 01:20:51,907 Speaker 7: Final spot on the line when the Penrith Panthers try 1744 01:20:51,987 --> 01:20:54,787 Speaker 7: and beat the Brisbane Broncos and Brisbane tomorrow, I ate 1745 01:20:54,867 --> 01:20:56,867 Speaker 7: away from two here on News Talks, you'd be live 1746 01:20:57,147 --> 01:20:58,587 Speaker 7: from the Kingslander. 1747 01:21:00,267 --> 01:21:02,947 Speaker 1: Live from the Kingslander and Auckland head of the All 1748 01:21:02,987 --> 01:21:08,267 Speaker 1: Blacks v Australia Weekend Sports with Jason five and GJ.

To News coming up at 1757 01:21:30,147 --> 01:21:33,867 Speaker 7: two o'clock after two we're joined by Ryan Fox.

So Ryan Fox is 1766 01:21:59,307 --> 01:22:01,787 Speaker 7: gonna pop into the Kingslander for a young just after 1767 01:22:01,867 --> 01:22:02,387 Speaker 7: two o'clock. 1768 01:22:02,427 --> 01:22:03,827 Speaker 3: Don't forget, we're going right through. 1769 01:22:03,827 --> 01:22:08,507 Speaker 7: Until five when kick off is scheduled, or just after 1770 01:22:08,587 --> 01:22:11,627 Speaker 7: five o'clock.

We're coming to your live from the 1794 01:23:20,707 --> 01:23:26,267 Speaker 7: Kingslander on New North Road. It is widely agreed that 1795 01:23:26,387 --> 01:23:28,987 Speaker 7: it is the best place to prepare for a Test 1796 01:23:29,067 --> 01:23:30,787 Speaker 7: match if you're not playing. 1797 01:23:30,547 --> 01:23:31,187 Speaker 3: In the test match. 1798 01:23:31,307 --> 01:23:32,947 Speaker 7: If you're playing in the test match, this would be 1799 01:23:33,227 --> 01:23:36,467 Speaker 7: the worst possible place I would imagine that you'd want 1800 01:23:36,547 --> 01:23:38,667 Speaker 7: to be but for the punters, and there are many 1801 01:23:38,747 --> 01:23:41,827 Speaker 7: of them who are shortly well. In the next couple 1802 01:23:41,827 --> 01:23:44,787 Speaker 7: of hours anyway, set to head to Eden Park for 1803 01:23:44,867 --> 01:23:47,987 Speaker 7: Bledislow Cup Test number one for twenty twenty five. 1804 01:23:48,107 --> 01:23:52,467 Speaker 3: It is proving a very popular location. Lots and lots 1805 01:23:52,507 --> 01:23:53,787 Speaker 3: of All Blacks fans, as. 1806 01:23:53,707 --> 01:23:56,507 Speaker 7: You would probably expect comparing it to when we were 1807 01:23:56,547 --> 01:23:58,867 Speaker 7: here a couple of weeks ago. When was it three 1808 01:23:58,947 --> 01:24:02,107 Speaker 7: weeks ago? When the All Blacks played South Africa at 1809 01:24:02,267 --> 01:24:06,267 Speaker 7: Eden Park. That day it was about fifty to fifty 1810 01:24:06,827 --> 01:24:09,667 Speaker 7: in the Kingslander in terms of All Blacks fans and 1811 01:24:09,827 --> 01:24:13,507 Speaker 7: South African fans. The number of spring Box fans that 1812 01:24:13,747 --> 01:24:19,307 Speaker 7: day was incredible. Incredible to see not so many in 1813 01:24:19,467 --> 01:24:21,947 Speaker 7: Green and Gold here at the Kingslander today, but that's 1814 01:24:22,027 --> 01:24:24,987 Speaker 7: not to say that there aren't any. I saw a 1815 01:24:25,027 --> 01:24:28,027 Speaker 7: group of about five walking before All wearing from head 1816 01:24:28,067 --> 01:24:33,107 Speaker 7: to toe green and gold suits, looking absolutely resplendent as 1817 01:24:33,147 --> 01:24:36,667 Speaker 7: they set as they get set to support that team 1818 01:24:36,947 --> 01:24:40,067 Speaker 7: this afternoon, and as I say, a number of all 1819 01:24:40,147 --> 01:24:42,987 Speaker 7: Blacks fans here as well, getting set for a five 1820 01:24:43,147 --> 01:24:46,907 Speaker 7: past five kickoff, and what a test match we have. 1821 01:24:47,107 --> 01:24:47,827 Speaker 3: In store for you. 1822 01:24:48,187 --> 01:24:50,587 Speaker 7: Just reminding you we will be carrying on after three 1823 01:24:50,627 --> 01:24:53,867 Speaker 7: o'clock today.

So after three 1826 01:25:01,867 --> 01:25:06,187 Speaker 7: o'clock we'll have Mills Mullyana on the show. Dame ly 1827 01:25:06,587 --> 01:25:10,747 Speaker 7: Carrington will also be joining us after three and all 1828 01:25:10,787 --> 01:25:13,187 Speaker 7: the build up continues as we come to you live 1829 01:25:13,307 --> 01:25:17,067 Speaker 7: from the Kingsland up on New North Road.

I 1841 01:26:05,827 --> 01:26:07,787 Speaker 7: mean it's like an All Blacks tear stay, doesn't it. 1842 01:26:07,827 --> 01:26:10,267 Speaker 7: You still follow the All Blacks closely from wherever you 1843 01:26:10,347 --> 01:26:11,027 Speaker 7: are around the world. 1844 01:26:11,387 --> 01:26:14,987 Speaker 10: I certainly do. That's a little hard to watch it 1845 01:26:15,067 --> 01:26:15,587 Speaker 10: in the US. 1846 01:26:16,067 --> 01:26:19,467 Speaker 28: Time differences don't quite work out as well as i'd hope, 1847 01:26:19,507 --> 01:26:23,187 Speaker 28: and they still haven't quite worked out what rugby is 1848 01:26:23,307 --> 01:26:25,987 Speaker 28: than the mainstream over there, so they probably need to 1849 01:26:26,027 --> 01:26:27,667 Speaker 28: do some research on streaming. 1850 01:26:27,747 --> 01:26:30,827 Speaker 10: But yeah, I follow it, I love it, and ye're 1851 01:26:30,867 --> 01:26:32,067 Speaker 10: looking forward to this afternoon. 1852 01:26:32,507 --> 01:26:34,827 Speaker 7: You were born in nineteen eighty seven, so just a 1853 01:26:34,907 --> 01:26:37,627 Speaker 7: few months before your dad guided the All Blacks to 1854 01:26:37,827 --> 01:26:42,547 Speaker 7: Rugby World Cup glory in eighty seven. Were you aware 1855 01:26:43,227 --> 01:26:45,307 Speaker 7: When did you become aware of your father as a 1856 01:26:45,427 --> 01:26:46,987 Speaker 7: rugby player, not just your dad. 1857 01:26:50,307 --> 01:26:52,627 Speaker 28: He retired when I was six, so I probably didn't 1858 01:26:52,667 --> 01:26:54,387 Speaker 28: quite grasp the concept. 1859 01:26:55,507 --> 01:26:57,747 Speaker 10: While he was still playing. I remember a couple of 1860 01:26:58,107 --> 01:26:59,187 Speaker 10: couple of games of him. 1861 01:26:59,107 --> 01:27:02,587 Speaker 28: Playing, but I more remember, you know, running around the 1862 01:27:02,627 --> 01:27:06,227 Speaker 28: aftermatch function, you know, kicking balls on the field after 1863 01:27:06,427 --> 01:27:07,707 Speaker 28: the game. When you were allowed to do that. 1864 01:27:09,227 --> 01:27:09,267 Speaker 17: That. 1865 01:27:09,747 --> 01:27:11,947 Speaker 10: The only thing I really remember is him kicking a 1866 01:27:12,027 --> 01:27:15,027 Speaker 10: goal against the Lions in ninety three, which I think 1867 01:27:15,187 --> 01:27:18,787 Speaker 10: was for Auckland, and I remember to win the game, 1868 01:27:18,867 --> 01:27:21,627 Speaker 10: but I subsequently told it was like twenty minutes to 1869 01:27:21,707 --> 01:27:23,987 Speaker 10: go or whatever. But that's what a six year old 1870 01:27:23,987 --> 01:27:29,787 Speaker 10: brain remembers. But yeah, I sort of as I got older, 1871 01:27:29,867 --> 01:27:31,227 Speaker 10: I appreciated it more. 1872 01:27:31,267 --> 01:27:34,587 Speaker 28: Obviously, I understood a bit more, and you know, he 1873 01:27:34,667 --> 01:27:36,267 Speaker 28: was getting stopped in the street and all of that. 1874 01:27:36,467 --> 01:27:39,467 Speaker 28: And you watched a few of the old games and 1875 01:27:39,667 --> 01:27:40,307 Speaker 28: was like, oh, yeah. 1876 01:27:40,187 --> 01:27:44,627 Speaker 7: Actually, yeah, Dad was pretty good under statement, So how 1877 01:27:44,747 --> 01:27:46,227 Speaker 7: seriously did you play right be? 1878 01:27:46,347 --> 01:27:46,787 Speaker 3: Growing up? 1879 01:27:47,347 --> 01:27:50,827 Speaker 28: I was the whole way through school. I played first 1880 01:27:50,827 --> 01:27:55,187 Speaker 28: fifteen at Kings and seventh form. Probably had a few 1881 01:27:55,227 --> 01:27:58,307 Speaker 28: too many concussions to carry on, but yeah, I loved it. 1882 01:27:58,507 --> 01:28:01,827 Speaker 10: I wasn't I didn't help myself. 1883 01:28:01,867 --> 01:28:04,107 Speaker 28: I played ten and I kept goals as well, so 1884 01:28:04,267 --> 01:28:06,467 Speaker 28: there was only going to be one comparison there, and 1885 01:28:06,547 --> 01:28:07,787 Speaker 28: I was never going to live up to that. 1886 01:28:08,187 --> 01:28:09,787 Speaker 10: The only thing I had on the old man is 1887 01:28:09,827 --> 01:28:11,027 Speaker 10: I wasn't afraid of tackling. 1888 01:28:12,667 --> 01:28:14,627 Speaker 3: I'm sure that's something you've reminded him of in the 1889 01:28:14,707 --> 01:28:15,187 Speaker 3: years since. 1890 01:28:15,307 --> 01:28:16,587 Speaker 10: Yeah, and of course your. 1891 01:28:16,507 --> 01:28:20,307 Speaker 7: Mum's dad, MERV Wallace, captain New Zealand's and cricket as well, 1892 01:28:20,387 --> 01:28:22,787 Speaker 7: and was an absolutely brilliant batsman, so you would have 1893 01:28:22,827 --> 01:28:24,387 Speaker 7: been a decent cricketer as well. 1894 01:28:24,627 --> 01:28:26,547 Speaker 10: Yep. I played cricket all the way through school too. 1895 01:28:27,627 --> 01:28:30,147 Speaker 28: I played a year of club cricket after I left 1896 01:28:30,187 --> 01:28:33,507 Speaker 28: school and didn't enjoy that as much as school cricket. 1897 01:28:33,547 --> 01:28:36,067 Speaker 10: And that's when I tried tournament golf. 1898 01:28:36,067 --> 01:28:38,627 Speaker 28: I played off two at that point, you know, so 1899 01:28:38,707 --> 01:28:41,587 Speaker 28: I was a decent golfer, but you know, never took 1900 01:28:41,627 --> 01:28:43,867 Speaker 28: it seriously. And when I was doing a lawd of 1901 01:28:43,907 --> 01:28:46,227 Speaker 28: Great Auckland UNI and gave up cricketer, I'm been thought 1902 01:28:46,267 --> 01:28:47,227 Speaker 28: I need something competitive. 1903 01:28:47,307 --> 01:28:48,747 Speaker 10: What am I going to do? I was like, oh, 1904 01:28:48,747 --> 01:28:50,827 Speaker 10: I've played a couple of junior tournaments. I liked those. 1905 01:28:50,907 --> 01:28:52,507 Speaker 10: Let's give that a crack and that was me done. 1906 01:28:53,147 --> 01:28:55,587 Speaker 7: What a year it's been for you, mate, those two 1907 01:28:55,667 --> 01:28:58,027 Speaker 7: PGA Tour wins. I've heard you say a couple of 1908 01:28:58,107 --> 01:29:01,227 Speaker 7: times that you knew your best golf across a given 1909 01:29:01,267 --> 01:29:04,147 Speaker 7: weekend was good enough to beat the best golfers in 1910 01:29:04,187 --> 01:29:04,547 Speaker 7: the world. 1911 01:29:05,107 --> 01:29:07,787 Speaker 3: Is that what happened? At least twice this year. 1912 01:29:08,827 --> 01:29:12,227 Speaker 28: Yeah, I mean, obviously Myrtle Beach was an ultimate event, 1913 01:29:12,347 --> 01:29:14,827 Speaker 28: so it wasn't the best of the best playing, but 1914 01:29:14,867 --> 01:29:16,267 Speaker 28: there's still some really good players. 1915 01:29:16,347 --> 01:29:20,187 Speaker 10: But you know, Canada is as a pretty prestigious event. 1916 01:29:21,187 --> 01:29:22,547 Speaker 10: You know, Rory was playing that week. 1917 01:29:22,587 --> 01:29:24,707 Speaker 28: There was a few other a few other guys playing 1918 01:29:24,747 --> 01:29:27,787 Speaker 28: this week in the Ryder Cup that were playing, So yeah, 1919 01:29:27,867 --> 01:29:30,667 Speaker 28: it was that one was extra special. You know that 1920 01:29:31,427 --> 01:29:34,467 Speaker 28: the getting the first one was was amazing and if 1921 01:29:34,547 --> 01:29:36,907 Speaker 28: that was the only one, great, but Canada was just 1922 01:29:37,307 --> 01:29:39,307 Speaker 28: that little bit better. And obviously you know, getting it 1923 01:29:39,347 --> 01:29:42,667 Speaker 28: done in the playoff and everything, Yeah it was. It 1924 01:29:42,827 --> 01:29:45,187 Speaker 28: was great and you know, nice to get to that 1925 01:29:45,307 --> 01:29:47,827 Speaker 28: point where, yeah, as you said, I had kind of 1926 01:29:48,107 --> 01:29:50,267 Speaker 28: believed it, and it was nice to actually do. 1927 01:29:50,387 --> 01:29:51,747 Speaker 3: It in Canada. 1928 01:29:52,107 --> 01:29:55,027 Speaker 7: It was what the fourth playoff hole to beat Sam Burns, 1929 01:29:55,747 --> 01:29:58,947 Speaker 7: Were you more relaxed in that playoff situation, having. 1930 01:29:58,827 --> 01:30:00,787 Speaker 3: Already chalked up when it moved or beach or not. 1931 01:30:01,467 --> 01:30:03,747 Speaker 28: Yeah, Look, I think a playoffs probably a little bit 1932 01:30:03,827 --> 01:30:07,587 Speaker 28: more relaxed to an extent than coming down the stretch anyway, 1933 01:30:07,627 --> 01:30:09,987 Speaker 28: because you know, the worse you can finish the second 1934 01:30:10,307 --> 01:30:12,707 Speaker 28: like I always thought playoffs are something that you see 1935 01:30:12,747 --> 01:30:13,507 Speaker 28: as an opportunity. 1936 01:30:13,507 --> 01:30:15,267 Speaker 10: I've got a chance to win, give it a go. 1937 01:30:15,547 --> 01:30:17,987 Speaker 28: If it doesn't work out, well, you know, it's not 1938 01:30:18,107 --> 01:30:22,907 Speaker 28: like you can double the last and finish Firth. But yeah, 1939 01:30:22,907 --> 01:30:26,547 Speaker 28: it was certainly a little easier in Canada knowing I'd 1940 01:30:26,587 --> 01:30:29,027 Speaker 28: already done it at Myrtle Beach. Now was you know, 1941 01:30:29,227 --> 01:30:31,027 Speaker 28: kind of playing with house money. And it was the 1942 01:30:31,107 --> 01:30:33,987 Speaker 28: same coming down the stretch there. It was like, I'm 1943 01:30:34,027 --> 01:30:37,427 Speaker 28: not playing for anything by trying to win the tournament, 1944 01:30:37,867 --> 01:30:39,627 Speaker 28: and that's a really good place to be coming down 1945 01:30:39,627 --> 01:30:41,747 Speaker 28: the streets. You're not thinking big picture, it's worth first 1946 01:30:41,827 --> 01:30:44,587 Speaker 28: saw I need these points to keep my card or anything. 1947 01:30:44,627 --> 01:30:45,867 Speaker 28: It was like, I've got to reything sort of, I 1948 01:30:45,987 --> 01:30:48,947 Speaker 28: just want to win, and it was it was nice 1949 01:30:48,987 --> 01:30:51,067 Speaker 28: to pull it off down the stretch jumping around. 1950 01:30:51,107 --> 01:30:54,627 Speaker 7: But back to Myrtle Beach, that chip, that chippin' to winners. 1951 01:30:55,387 --> 01:30:57,867 Speaker 7: How do you reflect on that on that golf shot. 1952 01:31:01,387 --> 01:31:03,787 Speaker 28: Honestly, I just look at it at I'd had a 1953 01:31:03,867 --> 01:31:06,867 Speaker 28: bit of bad luck in playoff and that was that 1954 01:31:07,067 --> 01:31:10,467 Speaker 28: was the one that I got it all back. You know, 1955 01:31:10,587 --> 01:31:14,747 Speaker 28: I had a couple of guys whole stupid amounts of 1956 01:31:14,787 --> 01:31:17,747 Speaker 28: puts on me and the Irish Open and the Dutch 1957 01:31:17,827 --> 01:31:21,107 Speaker 28: Open on the dp Wold Tour. And when I hit 1958 01:31:21,147 --> 01:31:23,467 Speaker 28: it in the trees on on eighteen the Myrtle Beach, 1959 01:31:23,547 --> 01:31:25,467 Speaker 28: which actually wasn't that bad a tea shot, it just 1960 01:31:25,467 --> 01:31:27,507 Speaker 28: clipped the edge of it, spat it left, and I 1961 01:31:27,587 --> 01:31:29,027 Speaker 28: was like, oh, it's going to be this again. 1962 01:31:29,187 --> 01:31:31,507 Speaker 10: You know, it's you know, I get stuffed in a playoff. 1963 01:31:31,587 --> 01:31:33,707 Speaker 28: But I thought I was pretty lucky to get into 1964 01:31:33,747 --> 01:31:35,867 Speaker 28: a playoff. And then I had a great shot to 1965 01:31:35,867 --> 01:31:37,867 Speaker 28: get to that back of the green and when that 1966 01:31:38,027 --> 01:31:41,027 Speaker 28: chip went and I was like, oh, okay, I've had 1967 01:31:41,027 --> 01:31:42,707 Speaker 28: the luck go the other way for once. And I'm 1968 01:31:42,747 --> 01:31:45,587 Speaker 28: standing there looking at my caddy going we're about due 1969 01:31:45,667 --> 01:31:47,347 Speaker 28: for something to go our way in a playoff. And 1970 01:31:47,387 --> 01:31:49,707 Speaker 28: I couldn't watch the guy's part and just went on 1971 01:31:49,787 --> 01:31:53,467 Speaker 28: the crowd reaction. I was like, oh, well, okay, that 1972 01:31:53,587 --> 01:31:54,467 Speaker 28: happened pretty quick. 1973 01:31:54,947 --> 01:31:56,907 Speaker 3: Loved it. And then your kids playing in the sand. 1974 01:31:57,227 --> 01:31:58,227 Speaker 10: Yep that was in Canada. 1975 01:31:58,347 --> 01:32:01,467 Speaker 28: I mean, they couldn't have kid less that dad was 1976 01:32:01,467 --> 01:32:03,307 Speaker 28: standing up there with a trophy and talking to a 1977 01:32:03,347 --> 01:32:03,787 Speaker 28: few people. 1978 01:32:03,867 --> 01:32:06,347 Speaker 10: They just saw a big sandpit and wanted. 1979 01:32:06,187 --> 01:32:09,547 Speaker 7: To the other special part of it that Canadian Open 1980 01:32:09,707 --> 01:32:11,347 Speaker 7: was the fact that there were members of the All 1981 01:32:11,347 --> 01:32:12,667 Speaker 7: Whites watching as well. 1982 01:32:12,707 --> 01:32:15,347 Speaker 3: They were over there for a mini tournament. 1983 01:32:15,387 --> 01:32:17,587 Speaker 7: That must have been quite cool to have some other Kiwis, 1984 01:32:17,707 --> 01:32:19,507 Speaker 7: or not just Kiwis, but key we sports people there 1985 01:32:19,507 --> 01:32:19,827 Speaker 7: as well. 1986 01:32:19,987 --> 01:32:20,867 Speaker 10: Yeah, it was really cool. 1987 01:32:21,387 --> 01:32:23,587 Speaker 28: I don't even know they were playing until like a 1988 01:32:23,667 --> 01:32:25,547 Speaker 28: couple of days before, and I got off of tickets 1989 01:32:25,587 --> 01:32:28,707 Speaker 28: to their game, but we were staying quite a way 1990 01:32:28,787 --> 01:32:31,787 Speaker 28: away and it was pretty hard to make it into 1991 01:32:31,827 --> 01:32:32,867 Speaker 28: Toronto itself, and. 1992 01:32:35,227 --> 01:32:37,147 Speaker 10: I heard Chris wood had asked if he could get 1993 01:32:37,187 --> 01:32:38,067 Speaker 10: some tickets for Sunday. 1994 01:32:38,107 --> 01:32:41,507 Speaker 28: I said, no problem, And actually I sent one of 1995 01:32:41,547 --> 01:32:44,787 Speaker 28: the PGA to a media guys into the game. He's 1996 01:32:44,787 --> 01:32:47,067 Speaker 28: a Kiwi by the name of Mark Williams, and he 1997 01:32:47,187 --> 01:32:48,787 Speaker 28: was like, oh, how you got a contact for the game? 1998 01:32:48,827 --> 01:32:49,347 Speaker 10: Can I get in? 1999 01:32:49,467 --> 01:32:51,627 Speaker 28: I'm like, yeah, mate, no problem. Got on some tickets 2000 01:32:51,667 --> 01:32:53,547 Speaker 28: and then he got in touch with the All Whites guys, 2001 01:32:53,947 --> 01:32:54,787 Speaker 28: and it wasn't just a. 2002 01:32:54,787 --> 01:32:56,187 Speaker 10: Few of them that wanted to come out, it was 2003 01:32:56,227 --> 01:32:59,107 Speaker 10: all of them. And I could hear. 2004 01:32:59,587 --> 01:33:01,147 Speaker 28: I could definitely hear them when I was out on 2005 01:33:01,227 --> 01:33:03,827 Speaker 28: the golf course during the round. I didn't really pay 2006 01:33:03,947 --> 01:33:07,427 Speaker 28: that much attention out on the while on the golf course, 2007 01:33:07,507 --> 01:33:10,267 Speaker 28: but you know, coming in and seeing them all there 2008 01:33:11,107 --> 01:33:12,747 Speaker 28: at the end was pretty amazing. 2009 01:33:12,787 --> 01:33:12,907 Speaker 3: You know. 2010 01:33:13,067 --> 01:33:15,867 Speaker 28: It's amazing that keywis pop up everywhere, and to have 2011 01:33:15,947 --> 01:33:18,987 Speaker 28: the all whites there to celebrate it was extra special. 2012 01:33:19,107 --> 01:33:19,907 Speaker 3: Yeah, very very cool. 2013 01:33:19,907 --> 01:33:20,027 Speaker 1: Like it. 2014 01:33:20,067 --> 01:33:21,467 Speaker 7: We're going to find it later in the year where 2015 01:33:21,467 --> 01:33:23,627 Speaker 7: they're going to be based for the World Cup next year. 2016 01:33:23,667 --> 01:33:26,787 Speaker 7: I don't know that the schedules are unlikely to collide favorably, 2017 01:33:26,827 --> 01:33:27,387 Speaker 7: but who knows. 2018 01:33:27,627 --> 01:33:28,947 Speaker 3: You might be able to return the favor and go 2019 01:33:28,987 --> 01:33:29,827 Speaker 3: along and watch them play. 2020 01:33:29,907 --> 01:33:31,587 Speaker 10: That would be very cool. Yeah, very cool. 2021 01:33:31,627 --> 01:33:34,587 Speaker 7: So how much freedom does twenty twenty five give you 2022 01:33:34,707 --> 01:33:36,307 Speaker 7: over your twenty twenty sixth schedule? 2023 01:33:38,187 --> 01:33:40,227 Speaker 10: Basically all the freedom in the world. 2024 01:33:40,947 --> 01:33:41,107 Speaker 1: You know. 2025 01:33:41,227 --> 01:33:43,227 Speaker 28: The biggest thing on the PJA too and now is 2026 01:33:43,267 --> 01:33:46,587 Speaker 28: finishing in that top fifty in the FedEx Cup, and 2027 01:33:46,667 --> 01:33:49,147 Speaker 28: that gives you you get to pick and choose your schedule. 2028 01:33:49,227 --> 01:33:52,067 Speaker 28: I get all the elevated events or signature events next year. 2029 01:33:53,547 --> 01:33:56,187 Speaker 28: I got three of the four majors guaranteed. I'm not 2030 01:33:56,307 --> 01:33:58,107 Speaker 28: quite not in the US Open yet, but in a 2031 01:33:58,187 --> 01:34:00,707 Speaker 28: pretty good place world ranking wise to get in next year, and. 2032 01:34:03,627 --> 01:34:05,267 Speaker 10: It's a lot different than it has been the last 2033 01:34:05,307 --> 01:34:05,867 Speaker 10: couple of years. 2034 01:34:06,707 --> 01:34:08,627 Speaker 28: I feel like the PGA Tour does a great job 2035 01:34:08,707 --> 01:34:11,187 Speaker 28: of making you play, whether you're trying to keep a 2036 01:34:11,227 --> 01:34:14,467 Speaker 28: card or you're trying to get into something, and I 2037 01:34:14,627 --> 01:34:16,227 Speaker 28: certainly had that in the last couple of years. I 2038 01:34:16,307 --> 01:34:18,667 Speaker 28: ended up playing a lot of events to try to 2039 01:34:19,187 --> 01:34:22,027 Speaker 28: get into those signature events. And then this year, obviously, 2040 01:34:22,067 --> 01:34:23,387 Speaker 28: with a couple of wins, I got in a couple 2041 01:34:23,387 --> 01:34:25,187 Speaker 28: of majors and a couple of signature events and ended 2042 01:34:25,267 --> 01:34:27,427 Speaker 28: up playing something like nine of ten weeks in a 2043 01:34:27,507 --> 01:34:28,547 Speaker 28: row through the middle of the year. 2044 01:34:28,667 --> 01:34:31,067 Speaker 10: And I was pretty beaten up at the end of 2045 01:34:31,067 --> 01:34:31,827 Speaker 10: the year because of that. 2046 01:34:32,547 --> 01:34:34,827 Speaker 28: It was all worth it, though, and then next year, 2047 01:34:34,987 --> 01:34:36,267 Speaker 28: you know, I know, at the start of the year, 2048 01:34:36,347 --> 01:34:39,587 Speaker 28: for the first time, I can at least until the 2049 01:34:39,747 --> 01:34:42,227 Speaker 28: Open in July, I can pick my schedule and. 2050 01:34:42,267 --> 01:34:44,707 Speaker 10: Pretty much not deviate from that, which will be really good. 2051 01:34:45,987 --> 01:34:49,467 Speaker 7: Winning a major Is that a goal? Is it even 2052 01:34:49,507 --> 01:34:51,027 Speaker 7: a thing to be a goal? Or is it just 2053 01:34:51,147 --> 01:34:54,747 Speaker 7: something that will happen as a product of your continued 2054 01:34:54,787 --> 01:34:55,747 Speaker 7: good form as a golfer. 2055 01:34:56,307 --> 01:34:59,227 Speaker 28: I feel like that's on the dream list rather than 2056 01:34:59,827 --> 01:35:02,787 Speaker 28: a straight goal list. But you know, winning on the 2057 01:35:02,827 --> 01:35:06,267 Speaker 28: PGA Tour was a dream two or three years ago, 2058 01:35:06,507 --> 01:35:10,147 Speaker 28: so you know, that jumped into the goal list this year. 2059 01:35:10,267 --> 01:35:12,507 Speaker 28: So hopefully the same thing can kind of happen with 2060 01:35:12,667 --> 01:35:15,907 Speaker 28: a major. You know, I have proven to myself that 2061 01:35:16,107 --> 01:35:20,347 Speaker 28: my good golf is good enough. It's just a question 2062 01:35:20,467 --> 01:35:22,387 Speaker 28: of doing it in the right week, and that's really 2063 01:35:23,147 --> 01:35:25,067 Speaker 28: hard to do. I mean there's a few guys that 2064 01:35:25,147 --> 01:35:27,267 Speaker 28: tend to do it pretty well. Tigers the obvious one 2065 01:35:27,307 --> 01:35:29,627 Speaker 28: over the years, Scotti Scheffler seems very very good at 2066 01:35:29,667 --> 01:35:32,387 Speaker 28: doing it. Rory has always been good at doing it. 2067 01:35:32,547 --> 01:35:35,667 Speaker 28: But you know there's a lot of top players that 2068 01:35:36,627 --> 01:35:39,187 Speaker 28: struggle with it sometimes too. You just you go out, 2069 01:35:39,227 --> 01:35:40,707 Speaker 28: you try to do your best, and if it works, 2070 01:35:40,747 --> 01:35:43,547 Speaker 28: it works.

Yeah, I'm not 2313 01:46:57,427 --> 01:47:00,027 Speaker 7: sure that I that I want that to happen, and 2314 01:47:00,107 --> 01:47:03,267 Speaker 7: I'm not sure that it will happen. As I said 2315 01:47:03,347 --> 01:47:05,187 Speaker 7: at the top of the show for those who are listening, 2316 01:47:05,467 --> 01:47:08,187 Speaker 7: I just think what happened two weeks ago in Wellington 2317 01:47:09,667 --> 01:47:12,627 Speaker 7: will have a huge, huge effect. 2318 01:47:13,027 --> 01:47:16,667 Speaker 3: On what happens at Eden Park later on today. 2319 01:47:16,907 --> 01:47:18,747 Speaker 7: It just feels to me as though when the All 2320 01:47:18,827 --> 01:47:21,507 Speaker 7: Blacks lose the game of rugby in the fashion that 2321 01:47:21,627 --> 01:47:25,867 Speaker 7: they did, and look, they've never lost by that many. 2322 01:47:26,227 --> 01:47:28,187 Speaker 7: We all know this the biggest ever defeat, it just 2323 01:47:28,267 --> 01:47:33,227 Speaker 7: feels to me like a response is absolutely compulsory. It 2324 01:47:33,347 --> 01:47:38,547 Speaker 7: is just required and on an occasion such as this 2325 01:47:38,747 --> 01:47:43,427 Speaker 7: where you feed that in. Then you think about the 2326 01:47:44,067 --> 01:47:49,387 Speaker 7: eden Park record of fifty one games and counting without 2327 01:47:49,467 --> 01:47:49,987 Speaker 7: defeat in. 2328 01:47:50,027 --> 01:47:52,427 Speaker 3: A Test match there for the All Blacks. 2329 01:47:52,507 --> 01:47:56,867 Speaker 7: Then you start thinking about the Bledisloe Cup and the 2330 01:47:56,947 --> 01:47:59,507 Speaker 7: fact that Australia haven't had their hands on that since 2331 01:48:00,147 --> 01:48:02,587 Speaker 7: Brendan Cannon, who we spoke to earlier on in the show, 2332 01:48:03,387 --> 01:48:05,107 Speaker 7: was part of the team that lifted it in two 2333 01:48:05,187 --> 01:48:08,147 Speaker 7: thousand and two. All Blacks got it back in two 2334 01:48:08,187 --> 01:48:11,387 Speaker 7: thousand and three, big went over in Melbourne. 2335 01:48:11,507 --> 01:48:12,427 Speaker 3: Was Melbourne or Sydney? 2336 01:48:12,427 --> 01:48:16,387 Speaker 7: I think fifty four they put on the Wallabies that day, 2337 01:48:16,587 --> 01:48:21,707 Speaker 7: came back and at eden Park twenty one seventeen from memory, 2338 01:48:21,787 --> 01:48:24,347 Speaker 7: they won it in two thousand and three and it 2339 01:48:24,467 --> 01:48:26,667 Speaker 7: hasn't been on the other side of the Tasman since. 2340 01:48:27,227 --> 01:48:32,147 Speaker 7: It just feels to me as though there's too many 2341 01:48:32,227 --> 01:48:36,427 Speaker 7: factors at play for the All Blacks not to win tonight. 2342 01:48:36,547 --> 01:48:39,347 Speaker 7: I know that's not really based on anything other than 2343 01:48:41,107 --> 01:48:45,867 Speaker 7: sort of not absolutes, sort of vagaries, but it feels 2344 01:48:45,907 --> 01:48:50,467 Speaker 7: a bit like the South African Test here three weeks ago, 2345 01:48:50,587 --> 01:48:52,587 Speaker 7: where there was the eden Park record on the line. 2346 01:48:53,587 --> 01:48:57,547 Speaker 7: There was the long standing rivalry with South Africa and 2347 01:48:57,587 --> 01:49:00,347 Speaker 7: the fact that they felt that this was their chance 2348 01:49:00,467 --> 01:49:04,587 Speaker 7: to break down the one final barrier that they hadn't 2349 01:49:04,587 --> 01:49:06,787 Speaker 7: been able to breach, and that was the eden Park Fortress. 2350 01:49:06,827 --> 01:49:09,067 Speaker 7: We had Ardie save as one hundred at the Test 2351 01:49:09,107 --> 01:49:12,667 Speaker 7: match that night, so there was the extra emotion wrapped 2352 01:49:12,667 --> 01:49:15,907 Speaker 7: around that too. It just feels a bit similar tonight 2353 01:49:15,987 --> 01:49:19,707 Speaker 7: to me that there's too much at play here. There's 2354 01:49:19,787 --> 01:49:25,867 Speaker 7: too many factors playing into this, Jake says Jason Norman. 2355 01:49:25,907 --> 01:49:26,387 Speaker 3: Old bugget. 2356 01:49:27,107 --> 01:49:29,267 Speaker 7: When was the Test that Australia won when John Eels 2357 01:49:29,347 --> 01:49:31,587 Speaker 7: kicked the late penalty?

I've sort of said this about 2496 01:55:51,427 --> 01:55:54,307 Speaker 30: the Derby matches in New Zealand and my small football career, 2497 01:55:54,387 --> 01:55:55,787 Speaker 30: that you don't want to play it up to be 2498 01:55:55,907 --> 01:55:57,987 Speaker 30: such a big game and your head just got to 2499 01:55:58,147 --> 01:55:59,787 Speaker 30: keep focused. I think that's what we're going to try 2500 01:55:59,827 --> 01:56:02,187 Speaker 30: to do if card's going to be I think I 2501 01:56:02,307 --> 01:56:04,907 Speaker 30: know no one here has been in the sort of 2502 01:56:05,027 --> 01:56:05,987 Speaker 30: environment like that before. 2503 01:56:06,427 --> 01:56:07,467 Speaker 10: Going to be such a good experience. 2504 01:56:07,867 --> 01:56:10,747 Speaker 7: The vast majority of the squad played Chile twice back 2505 01:56:10,827 --> 01:56:13,067 Speaker 7: in June and warm up matches a couple of narrow losses. 2506 01:56:13,307 --> 01:56:14,907 Speaker 3: You scored a brilliant goal in the first game. 2507 01:56:15,267 --> 01:56:17,787 Speaker 7: Do you feel like your match up fairly well against 2508 01:56:17,827 --> 01:56:21,707 Speaker 7: them from that experience, Yeah, definitely. 2509 01:56:21,787 --> 01:56:24,027 Speaker 30: We've done a lot of analysis on them, and I 2510 01:56:24,107 --> 01:56:27,347 Speaker 30: think we've improved the squad in terms of the way 2511 01:56:27,387 --> 01:56:29,707 Speaker 30: we play. We're in had about a week together a 2512 01:56:29,747 --> 01:56:32,427 Speaker 30: couple of days before the first match only, so it's 2513 01:56:32,547 --> 01:56:34,427 Speaker 30: nice to be able to have some time and not 2514 01:56:34,547 --> 01:56:37,427 Speaker 30: rushing the processes and build up and defending. So I 2515 01:56:37,507 --> 01:56:40,387 Speaker 30: think it'll be a good almost a surprise to the 2516 01:56:40,427 --> 01:56:41,747 Speaker 30: world is that we want to do and show what 2517 01:56:42,027 --> 01:56:43,867 Speaker 30: Zealand football can do at youth levels. 2518 01:56:44,187 --> 01:56:44,467 Speaker 10: Love that. 2519 01:56:44,987 --> 01:56:47,507 Speaker 7: And how much have you worked on combinations and connection 2520 01:56:47,667 --> 01:56:49,547 Speaker 7: given the fact that, look, there's a bunch of year 2521 01:56:49,547 --> 01:56:51,347 Speaker 7: from the Phoenix, a few from Auckland FC, but the 2522 01:56:51,387 --> 01:56:53,867 Speaker 7: others are drawn from far and wide. So how much 2523 01:56:53,907 --> 01:56:56,267 Speaker 7: have you worked on connections during your time together? 2524 01:56:57,747 --> 01:57:01,387 Speaker 30: Yeah, a lot, a lot, definitely. I think, like I said, 2525 01:57:01,427 --> 01:57:04,307 Speaker 30: there's no rush this camp in terms of getting to 2526 01:57:04,387 --> 01:57:07,507 Speaker 30: know each other and every everything. We all know each 2527 01:57:07,507 --> 01:57:09,947 Speaker 30: other fairly well. I think it's about getting the connection 2528 01:57:10,027 --> 01:57:12,587 Speaker 30: on the field, and we've had so many trainings together 2529 01:57:12,667 --> 01:57:15,147 Speaker 30: now we've been here for about a week and a bit, 2530 01:57:15,347 --> 01:57:18,147 Speaker 30: so I think leading into the game we're almost like 2531 01:57:18,227 --> 01:57:20,747 Speaker 30: a family, which I think is gonna help us so much. 2532 01:57:21,307 --> 01:57:23,467 Speaker 7: You said before a really interesting thing about you know 2533 01:57:23,587 --> 01:57:25,907 Speaker 7: about big games like the Derby's that you played in 2534 01:57:26,267 --> 01:57:29,307 Speaker 7: and other big matches and not playing the game, before 2535 01:57:29,387 --> 01:57:31,187 Speaker 7: the game arrives, I guess, you know, not letting it 2536 01:57:31,307 --> 01:57:35,347 Speaker 7: become too big a thing. How do you stay relatively 2537 01:57:35,467 --> 01:57:38,787 Speaker 7: relaxed ahead of what it is really quite a big game? 2538 01:57:40,387 --> 01:57:43,147 Speaker 30: Yeah, I think I have an experience that where these 2539 01:57:43,187 --> 01:57:45,827 Speaker 30: World Cup matches could potentially. 2540 01:57:45,427 --> 01:57:46,547 Speaker 27: Go down to you. 2541 01:57:46,667 --> 01:57:48,867 Speaker 30: When you're in the tournament, you lose your out. And 2542 01:57:48,947 --> 01:57:51,987 Speaker 30: I think for me, is I like the put pressure 2543 01:57:51,987 --> 01:57:53,987 Speaker 30: on myself. I think that's what I'm at my best 2544 01:57:54,107 --> 01:57:58,347 Speaker 30: is when there's pressure to perform, pressureing the fans to 2545 01:57:58,467 --> 01:57:58,867 Speaker 30: do well. 2546 01:57:59,027 --> 01:58:00,627 Speaker 10: And I think we're speaking on. 2547 01:58:00,627 --> 01:58:02,187 Speaker 30: The bus with a couple of boys and some of 2548 01:58:02,227 --> 01:58:04,147 Speaker 30: them are saying they don't like that, But for me, 2549 01:58:04,267 --> 01:58:07,067 Speaker 30: I think that's what makes me play my very best. 2550 01:58:07,107 --> 01:58:09,547 Speaker 30: So I think for myself is I'm gonna I want 2551 01:58:09,587 --> 01:58:12,067 Speaker 30: to put pressure on myself to go down and play 2552 01:58:12,147 --> 01:58:14,787 Speaker 30: the best and do everything I can for the country. 2553 01:58:14,947 --> 01:58:17,147 Speaker 30: I think you're just not often you get to play 2554 01:58:17,147 --> 01:58:19,107 Speaker 30: in front of that many people, let alone for your country. 2555 01:58:19,227 --> 01:58:21,427 Speaker 30: So for me, I'm not going to play it up 2556 01:58:21,467 --> 01:58:22,947 Speaker 30: in my head, but I know it is a big game, 2557 01:58:22,987 --> 01:58:24,427 Speaker 30: and I think that's going to help me play my 2558 01:58:24,587 --> 01:58:24,987 Speaker 30: very best. 2559 01:58:25,307 --> 01:58:28,027 Speaker 7: It's been nearly three weeks since your full all White 2560 01:58:28,067 --> 01:58:30,147 Speaker 7: stable a go media or against Australia. 2561 01:58:30,307 --> 01:58:31,747 Speaker 3: You've had a bit of time to reflect on that. 2562 01:58:31,867 --> 01:58:31,987 Speaker 1: Now. 2563 01:58:32,067 --> 01:58:33,947 Speaker 3: How special a moment was that for you and for 2564 01:58:34,067 --> 01:58:34,507 Speaker 3: your family? 2565 01:58:36,747 --> 01:58:38,387 Speaker 24: Yeah, it was unbelievable. 2566 01:58:39,067 --> 01:58:42,067 Speaker 30: I think what made it even better was potentially not 2567 01:58:42,147 --> 01:58:44,347 Speaker 30: coming on in the first game in camera. Maybe it's 2568 01:58:44,467 --> 01:58:47,547 Speaker 30: more hungry to perform in training to hopefully get me 2569 01:58:48,147 --> 01:58:50,267 Speaker 30: to become an option off the bench. And you know, 2570 01:58:50,427 --> 01:58:53,307 Speaker 30: it was nice to make my debut in Auckland. Definitely 2571 01:58:53,387 --> 01:58:55,627 Speaker 30: with all my friends and family there. I mean, I've 2572 01:58:55,627 --> 01:58:57,347 Speaker 30: got my dad coming in for this tournament and I 2573 01:58:57,467 --> 01:59:00,387 Speaker 30: think having them there is just makes me play even better. 2574 01:59:00,467 --> 01:59:02,987 Speaker 30: And yeah, it's just such a special experience with them. 2575 01:59:03,267 --> 01:59:04,307 Speaker 3: It's been quite the year for you. 2576 01:59:04,427 --> 01:59:07,667 Speaker 7: You signed pro for the Phoenix, had Nale just before Christmas, 2577 01:59:07,667 --> 01:59:10,227 Speaker 7: scored your first goal in the derby in February, then 2578 01:59:10,227 --> 01:59:12,187 Speaker 7: an all Whites day boo, and now a World Cup. 2579 01:59:12,347 --> 01:59:15,147 Speaker 3: But could you have imagined all of this twelve months ago? 2580 01:59:16,667 --> 01:59:17,547 Speaker 8: No, no, no. 2581 01:59:18,587 --> 01:59:21,307 Speaker 30: I was sort of looking back to where I was 2582 01:59:21,347 --> 01:59:23,387 Speaker 30: about this time of year ago, and I was about 2583 01:59:23,907 --> 01:59:28,147 Speaker 30: three weeks after my under sixteen qualifiers in Tahiti and 2584 01:59:28,427 --> 01:59:30,547 Speaker 30: then I was just focused on making a nunder seventeen 2585 01:59:30,627 --> 01:59:33,827 Speaker 30: World Cup and hopefully signing for the Phoenix as a plan. 2586 01:59:33,947 --> 01:59:36,467 Speaker 30: And I think that's given me loads of motivations because 2587 01:59:36,507 --> 01:59:40,667 Speaker 30: now I think, well, of yeah, then who what's stopping 2588 01:59:40,667 --> 01:59:41,587 Speaker 30: me from being where I want to be? 2589 01:59:41,627 --> 01:59:44,187 Speaker 10: In A yeaes sir, So good, so good. 2590 01:59:44,227 --> 01:59:45,747 Speaker 7: And even though you are one of the youngest in 2591 01:59:45,827 --> 01:59:48,427 Speaker 7: the squad, you are one of the few who have 2592 01:59:48,547 --> 01:59:51,027 Speaker 7: been in the full all white squad. Do you feel 2593 01:59:51,907 --> 01:59:55,067 Speaker 7: a desire or a need to lead in this group? 2594 01:59:55,187 --> 01:59:57,107 Speaker 7: Is that something that comes naturally to you or not 2595 01:59:57,227 --> 01:59:57,667 Speaker 7: quite yet? 2596 01:59:59,827 --> 02:00:03,907 Speaker 30: Additionally, I think I haven't really I've kepted a couple 2597 02:00:03,947 --> 02:00:06,227 Speaker 30: of teams when I was much younger, but I haven't 2598 02:00:06,227 --> 02:00:08,747 Speaker 30: been in and amongst the leadership groups and stuff. I 2599 02:00:08,787 --> 02:00:11,587 Speaker 30: think because I've been so young in the moments i've 2600 02:00:11,587 --> 02:00:14,307 Speaker 30: been in recently. But I think, you know, we're all 2601 02:00:14,467 --> 02:00:16,627 Speaker 30: very good players. But I think the way I play 2602 02:00:16,707 --> 02:00:20,027 Speaker 30: I want I want people if we're struggling or we 2603 02:00:20,147 --> 02:00:21,987 Speaker 30: need to go in the last minutes, I want people 2604 02:00:22,107 --> 02:00:23,467 Speaker 30: to be able to look at me and be like, 2605 02:00:24,027 --> 02:00:25,627 Speaker 30: what can you give us? Can you can you give 2606 02:00:25,707 --> 02:00:27,907 Speaker 30: us something off the bench? Can you give us something starting, 2607 02:00:28,627 --> 02:00:30,227 Speaker 30: We need a goal, something like that, And I think 2608 02:00:30,267 --> 02:00:32,107 Speaker 30: that's the pressure I like to take on. And I 2609 02:00:32,187 --> 02:00:34,507 Speaker 30: think there's loads of boys in the squad, attackers that 2610 02:00:34,547 --> 02:00:37,067 Speaker 30: are all fast and creative, and I think we've all 2611 02:00:37,107 --> 02:00:39,627 Speaker 30: spoken that, you know, it could be on us to 2612 02:00:39,747 --> 02:00:41,907 Speaker 30: change the game whether we win or lose, and we 2613 02:00:42,507 --> 02:00:46,347 Speaker 30: know that as a front force. So hopefully that opportunity does. 2614 02:00:46,307 --> 02:00:49,587 Speaker 7: Come and we can yeah, can't wait to see how 2615 02:00:49,627 --> 02:00:51,627 Speaker 7: it goes. And as you say, it must be nice 2616 02:00:51,947 --> 02:00:53,867 Speaker 7: hanging out with guys your own age. You know, you 2617 02:00:54,667 --> 02:00:56,347 Speaker 7: don't have to sort of feel like you're hanging out 2618 02:00:56,387 --> 02:00:59,147 Speaker 7: with your dad or your slightly older uncle anymore. 2619 02:00:59,507 --> 02:01:06,627 Speaker 3: Right understands the terminology you're using. No boomers around, Nah. 2620 02:01:07,627 --> 02:01:10,187 Speaker 30: I think it's definitely helped shape me being with the 2621 02:01:10,267 --> 02:01:13,347 Speaker 30: older boys. But like I said, it's so refreshing being 2622 02:01:13,427 --> 02:01:16,187 Speaker 30: with a group of very good players who are all 2623 02:01:16,227 --> 02:01:19,507 Speaker 30: around my own age and the same ambitions and pro environments. 2624 02:01:19,547 --> 02:01:23,187 Speaker 30: And I think it's something that almost makes me want 2625 02:01:23,227 --> 02:01:27,187 Speaker 30: to work even harder, knowing that we have each other 2626 02:01:27,307 --> 02:01:29,267 Speaker 30: and that we're all so close to get us almost 2627 02:01:29,307 --> 02:01:31,147 Speaker 30: like a group of brothers from me. 2628 02:01:32,267 --> 02:01:34,787 Speaker 7: Another special day coming up for you all look thanks 2629 02:01:34,827 --> 02:01:36,547 Speaker 7: for joining us.
