1 00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,427 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport Podcast with Jason Vine 2 00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:13,547 Speaker 1: from Newstalk zb First. 3 00:00:13,387 --> 00:00:16,587 Speaker 2: Thing's first, congratulations to South Africa. Wat a performance and 4 00:00:16,627 --> 00:00:18,907 Speaker 2: in particular the second half as good as forty minutes 5 00:00:18,947 --> 00:00:21,027 Speaker 2: as I can remember from any team on our shores. 6 00:00:21,027 --> 00:00:24,667 Speaker 2: Maybe ever they were on another level and the All 7 00:00:24,667 --> 00:00:27,027 Speaker 2: Blacks simply had no answers. And we all know that 8 00:00:27,067 --> 00:00:29,227 Speaker 2: sometimes you just get beaten by a better team, right, 9 00:00:29,347 --> 00:00:31,667 Speaker 2: that happens, and no team in the world would have 10 00:00:31,667 --> 00:00:36,187 Speaker 2: lived with the spring Box last night. But the major 11 00:00:36,227 --> 00:00:41,227 Speaker 2: concern was the manner of the defeat. It was a 12 00:00:41,267 --> 00:00:45,187 Speaker 2: second half capitulation. There is no other way to describe it. 13 00:00:45,987 --> 00:00:50,427 Speaker 2: Thirty six unanswered points. Now, the word capitulation does not 14 00:00:50,547 --> 00:00:53,547 Speaker 2: be long in the same sentence as the All Blacks. 15 00:00:54,547 --> 00:00:56,987 Speaker 2: As I say, sometimes another team just as a worldie, 16 00:00:57,507 --> 00:00:59,907 Speaker 2: and that's what the Springbox did after halftime. But but 17 00:01:00,707 --> 00:01:04,147 Speaker 2: the base level required by the Black jersey is that 18 00:01:04,187 --> 00:01:07,427 Speaker 2: you play until the end. And as the points mounted 19 00:01:07,507 --> 00:01:08,987 Speaker 2: last night, it looked very much to me from the 20 00:01:09,027 --> 00:01:11,667 Speaker 2: sideline as though some of the men in Black had 21 00:01:11,667 --> 00:01:14,347 Speaker 2: given up, like they just wanted to get down the 22 00:01:14,347 --> 00:01:18,827 Speaker 2: tunnel and get out of there. We are constantly told 23 00:01:18,867 --> 00:01:20,907 Speaker 2: by those in the All Blacks environment that the Black 24 00:01:20,987 --> 00:01:24,987 Speaker 2: jersey demands excellence, and that's what the legacy of this 25 00:01:25,027 --> 00:01:28,067 Speaker 2: team is built on. Care for the jersey, awareness of 26 00:01:28,107 --> 00:01:31,467 Speaker 2: its history, a desire to enhance it while you are 27 00:01:31,507 --> 00:01:37,467 Speaker 2: in possession of it. Very few players enhanced that jersey 28 00:01:37,547 --> 00:01:40,667 Speaker 2: last night. If we're looking for a shred of consolation 29 00:01:40,707 --> 00:01:42,307 Speaker 2: from this, we can perhaps get it from what happened 30 00:01:42,307 --> 00:01:45,027 Speaker 2: at Albany in twenty seventeen. The All Blacks beat South 31 00:01:45,027 --> 00:01:48,307 Speaker 2: Africa fifty seven nil that night. Two years later, South 32 00:01:48,347 --> 00:01:51,067 Speaker 2: Africa were World champions, and four years after that they 33 00:01:51,067 --> 00:01:53,867 Speaker 2: were world champions again. The All Blacks simply must use 34 00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:58,827 Speaker 2: last night as fuel. Those guys have to remember what 35 00:01:58,947 --> 00:02:02,067 Speaker 2: last night felt like and allow it to drive them 36 00:02:02,107 --> 00:02:05,827 Speaker 2: on to make sure that they never ever, ever, ever 37 00:02:05,907 --> 00:02:06,867 Speaker 2: have that feel again. 38 00:02:07,387 --> 00:02:10,587 Speaker 1: For more from Weekend Sport with Jason Fine, listen live 39 00:02:10,667 --> 00:02:13,987 Speaker 1: to News Talk set B weekends from midday, or follow 40 00:02:14,027 --> 00:02:15,627 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
