Chiefs and All 9 00:00:28,027 --> 00:00:30,547 Speaker 2: Blacksmidfield of Quintit pies with us on Weekend Sport. Thanks 10 00:00:30,587 --> 00:00:33,107 Speaker 2: for your time, Quinn. You're pretty happy Chiefs Camp as 11 00:00:33,147 --> 00:00:35,947 Speaker 2: you flew home this morning. What stands out most about 12 00:00:35,947 --> 00:00:37,227 Speaker 2: the performance last night for you? 13 00:00:38,747 --> 00:00:42,107 Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for having me on. You're pretty happy Camp 14 00:00:42,627 --> 00:00:45,547 Speaker 3: getting on the flight this morning. And I guess in 15 00:00:45,587 --> 00:00:48,027 Speaker 3: that second half we won some big moments compared to 16 00:00:48,067 --> 00:00:50,707 Speaker 3: the first half where they controlled a lot of the game, 17 00:00:50,707 --> 00:00:52,267 Speaker 3: a lot of territory and a lot of positions, so 18 00:00:53,427 --> 00:00:54,987 Speaker 3: it was good to flip their second half on its 19 00:00:55,027 --> 00:00:56,667 Speaker 3: head and come away with a good victory. 20 00:00:57,107 --> 00:01:00,507 Speaker 2: What sort of conversations were you're having at nineteen three down. 21 00:01:01,747 --> 00:01:05,147 Speaker 3: You, I guess we just needed to break them down 22 00:01:05,187 --> 00:01:08,227 Speaker 3: a bit. We weren't for finding too much go forward 23 00:01:08,227 --> 00:01:10,707 Speaker 3: on the edges. So they're a team that faw the 24 00:01:10,707 --> 00:01:13,787 Speaker 3: field pretty well and can defend for long sets. So 25 00:01:14,587 --> 00:01:17,107 Speaker 3: we decided to have a crack to go through them, 26 00:01:17,147 --> 00:01:20,267 Speaker 3: and I guess we got some good power to that 27 00:01:20,387 --> 00:01:22,667 Speaker 3: and we were pretty stoked to get there. Try just 28 00:01:22,707 --> 00:01:26,307 Speaker 3: before halftime and you know, put a bit of window 29 00:01:26,347 --> 00:01:27,427 Speaker 3: our sALS going into half time. 30 00:01:27,467 --> 00:01:28,707 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was going to ask you about that. 31 00:01:28,827 --> 00:01:30,947 Speaker 2: Pretty important to close it up to nineteen ten. What 32 00:01:30,987 --> 00:01:32,667 Speaker 2: was Sewan Stevenson doing though? I thought he was going 33 00:01:32,707 --> 00:01:33,347 Speaker 2: to go himself. 34 00:01:34,587 --> 00:01:38,467 Speaker 3: Yeah, the old leagues a Suter couldn't get They're goldn't 35 00:01:38,507 --> 00:01:41,147 Speaker 3: get past no hope them, so I was I was 36 00:01:41,187 --> 00:01:43,747 Speaker 3: surprised as well. I thought he was going to slide 37 00:01:43,787 --> 00:01:46,867 Speaker 3: on in and get the guns out, but luckily got 38 00:01:46,867 --> 00:01:49,947 Speaker 3: the ball away and the money dotted over, So yeah, 39 00:01:49,987 --> 00:01:50,747 Speaker 3: that was quite lucky. 40 00:01:50,947 --> 00:01:53,507 Speaker 2: Now, what about Leroy Carter's try? What was your view 41 00:01:53,507 --> 00:01:53,707 Speaker 2: of that? 42 00:01:54,867 --> 00:01:57,547 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a massive moment for the game. I 43 00:01:57,547 --> 00:01:59,987 Speaker 3: guess I was caught up on the far side of 44 00:01:59,987 --> 00:02:02,707 Speaker 3: the field, so I was sort of whipping him home 45 00:02:02,747 --> 00:02:05,707 Speaker 3: from seventy meters away and didn't sort of move. I knew. 46 00:02:05,787 --> 00:02:07,427 Speaker 3: I knew he had it once he got into space, 47 00:02:07,467 --> 00:02:10,547 Speaker 3: and we'll give him stick this morning, actually because he 48 00:02:10,587 --> 00:02:14,107 Speaker 3: nearly got run down by Fletcher Neill, which would have 49 00:02:14,107 --> 00:02:17,587 Speaker 3: been embarrassing for a Speeds to like himself. But yeah, 50 00:02:17,627 --> 00:02:21,507 Speaker 3: it was a massive moment for us, and I guess yeah, 51 00:02:21,507 --> 00:02:22,587 Speaker 3: it hurt them a lot. 52 00:02:22,987 --> 00:02:25,707 Speaker 2: Once you went ahead. What was that twenty two to nineteen? 53 00:02:25,747 --> 00:02:29,267 Speaker 2: Once Damien had converted that try? I mean, you're in 54 00:02:29,347 --> 00:02:32,587 Speaker 2: christ you're right against the Crusaders. But when you wore ahead, 55 00:02:32,627 --> 00:02:34,387 Speaker 2: did you feel in control of the game? 56 00:02:35,787 --> 00:02:37,907 Speaker 3: You know? I felt like that second half we played 57 00:02:37,907 --> 00:02:40,187 Speaker 3: how we wanted to and we did feel in control. 58 00:02:40,307 --> 00:02:43,627 Speaker 3: But we know from history we haven't won too many 59 00:02:43,627 --> 00:02:46,467 Speaker 3: games down there and not and other teams haven't either. 60 00:02:46,507 --> 00:02:50,107 Speaker 3: So being up three points you can't take your foot 61 00:02:50,107 --> 00:02:52,747 Speaker 3: off the throats, and we knew we needed a lot 62 00:02:52,787 --> 00:02:56,787 Speaker 3: more points to secure the win, and they threw everything 63 00:02:56,827 --> 00:02:59,907 Speaker 3: at us and defended their hearts out. So pretty proud 64 00:02:59,907 --> 00:03:00,347 Speaker 3: of that effort. 65 00:03:00,827 --> 00:03:02,987 Speaker 2: How good having Wallace a t t back off the 66 00:03:02,987 --> 00:03:05,067 Speaker 2: bench last couple of games, his first start last night, 67 00:03:05,107 --> 00:03:07,067 Speaker 2: I got a try. How good having back for the 68 00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:08,507 Speaker 2: for the push to watch the finals? 69 00:03:08,907 --> 00:03:12,587 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been massive. He can play footy, that kid. 70 00:03:14,267 --> 00:03:16,187 Speaker 3: He just brings the extra punch to that forward pack 71 00:03:16,267 --> 00:03:18,467 Speaker 3: that we need. And it's a great battle in our 72 00:03:18,507 --> 00:03:21,707 Speaker 3: loose four trios with Penny and Simon playing well uh 73 00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:25,627 Speaker 3: Luke our skipper, So it's a battle to start. But 74 00:03:26,067 --> 00:03:29,027 Speaker 3: again I guess Any and those guys that come off 75 00:03:29,027 --> 00:03:31,187 Speaker 3: the bench also bring the extra punch that we also need. 76 00:03:31,507 --> 00:03:33,907 Speaker 2: How much did last weekend against the Hurricane sting? 77 00:03:34,867 --> 00:03:37,987 Speaker 3: Mhm? Yeah, we we had a pretty tough review and 78 00:03:40,827 --> 00:03:42,987 Speaker 3: we sat in the change rooms after the Hurricanes game 79 00:03:43,027 --> 00:03:45,387 Speaker 3: and listen to them, listen to them sing their song 80 00:03:45,507 --> 00:03:49,947 Speaker 3: next Door, which Don turned our speaker off, and we 81 00:03:49,987 --> 00:03:51,587 Speaker 3: all sat there and listened to it and it sort 82 00:03:51,587 --> 00:03:54,347 Speaker 3: of filled us. And we had a tough review on 83 00:03:54,387 --> 00:03:58,387 Speaker 3: Monday and two tough trainings on Tuesday Thursday, which I 84 00:03:58,427 --> 00:04:01,827 Speaker 3: guess prepared us well for this weekend. And yeah, it's 85 00:04:01,867 --> 00:04:02,747 Speaker 3: definitely showed out there. 86 00:04:02,827 --> 00:04:04,427 Speaker 2: Yeah, well you got the chance to sing last night. 87 00:04:04,427 --> 00:04:07,107 Speaker 2: You've got to buy now before the final push. How 88 00:04:07,147 --> 00:04:08,827 Speaker 2: do you spend the next couple of weeks. 89 00:04:09,947 --> 00:04:12,227 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been it's been a big six week block 90 00:04:12,267 --> 00:04:16,347 Speaker 3: for us since our last by So it's about refreshing 91 00:04:16,347 --> 00:04:19,467 Speaker 3: for us. A lot of our guys I've played big 92 00:04:19,467 --> 00:04:22,987 Speaker 3: minutes and the week will look like look different for everyone, 93 00:04:23,067 --> 00:04:26,187 Speaker 3: but it it'll contain a little bit of training, but 94 00:04:26,987 --> 00:04:30,187 Speaker 3: just mainly mentally refreshing and getting our bodies right for 95 00:04:30,227 --> 00:04:33,667 Speaker 3: the last two games and then our finals push. 96 00:04:33,707 --> 00:04:36,187 Speaker 2: Here, you've beaten the Crusaders in christ Church. I think 97 00:04:36,227 --> 00:04:38,987 Speaker 2: most people would say the Chiefs are now super Rugby favorites. 98 00:04:39,347 --> 00:04:42,707 Speaker 2: Is that a tag that's okay with you? Yeah? 99 00:04:42,987 --> 00:04:44,227 Speaker 3: I guess there's a lot of water to go on 100 00:04:44,267 --> 00:04:48,427 Speaker 3: the bridge until we get to the finals, but yeah, 101 00:04:48,507 --> 00:04:51,187 Speaker 3: it's it's a game we definitely targeted and we knew 102 00:04:51,227 --> 00:04:53,187 Speaker 3: if we could do a job down in christ it 103 00:04:53,187 --> 00:04:55,227 Speaker 3: should put us in good stead for the finals run. 104 00:04:55,307 --> 00:04:57,827 Speaker 3: So we know how important it is to have home 105 00:04:57,827 --> 00:05:00,627 Speaker 3: field advantage in the finals and we don't have it yet. 106 00:05:00,707 --> 00:05:04,267 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's a massive goal for us to get 107 00:05:04,267 --> 00:05:05,107 Speaker 3: there those games. 108 00:05:05,147 --> 00:05:07,027 Speaker 2: If from justadium, ye, are you in a long way 109 00:05:07,067 --> 00:05:08,987 Speaker 2: to achieving that.
