1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:00,480
Speaker 1: Right.

2
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 2: It's a big game for the All Blacks tomorrow night

3
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: as they face Argentina at Eden Park, a week on

4
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 2: from losing thirty eight to thirty is to them in Wellington.

5
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 2: Coach Scott Robinson has made some major changes. Elliot Smith's

6
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 2: news talks, they'd be rugby commentators with us. Elliott, good morning,

7
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: Good morning Ryan. Who's going to win?

8
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: Oh? Look, I think the All Blacks need to balance

9
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: back and they traditionally have again Sargentina and the two

10
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: times have lost to them previously in twenty twenty and

11
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, they've come out and put a response

12
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: out the following week, won by thirty eight points in

13
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and then by forty seven in twenty twenty two.

14
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: That doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen tomorrow night,

15
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: but you would hope there was some form of response

16
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: from the All Blacks because last week they were ponderous

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: at times on attack. The defense wasn't up to scratch.

18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: So they really need to improve tomorrow night and deliver

19
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: some of those things that have been talking about both

20
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: of the coaching group and the players that have laid

21
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: out a platform for at the start of the season

22
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: that we probably just haven't seen to this point in timeline.

23
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, losing is not something that Scott Roberts has done

24
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: a lot of in recent years. How's he doing? How's

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: he you know? I mean, I know it's only only

26
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: one game that he's lost, but you know, how's he fearing?

27
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Well? I think this week has been a bit of

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: reality check for him in terms of international rugby. Got

29
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: through the first three games of the campaign and they look,

30
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: those two games against England were pretty tricky ones and

31
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: they managed to get out on the right side of

32
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: the ledger. It was thought, maybe Argentina, those games give

33
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: you a chance to build on your platform and start

34
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: to develop the game plan that they were being playing.

35
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: But actually it was a huge step back last week

36
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: with the forwards not really clicking into gear ponderous stuff

37
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: from the back. So look, he's vowed this week that

38
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: he's you know, dug over under every rock and tried

39
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,639
Speaker 1: to fine answers this week to get the game plan going.

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: But that starts with him at the top. And as

41
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: you said, he's made a few changes to the side

42
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: for this week, but he has to demand the all

43
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: Blacks beak better. He said earlier on in the week

44
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: that you know whether he's out of the dumps, and

45
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: the players will reflect that as well as he's tried

46
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: to maintain somewhat of a positive attitude walls of trying

47
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: to find the answers as to what went wrong last

48
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: Saturday and then rebuild the team and get them into

49
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: action for tomorrow night and in a style that will

50
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: get them across the line and with the victory.

51
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: Is it going to rain? I only ask because I'm going.

52
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: I believe it is right. I look at the forecast

53
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: and it suggests that it's going to rain all day

54
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: tomorrow in Auckland, which again we'll post some issues for

55
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: the All Blacks. Look, I expect a lot more kicking

56
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: from the All Blacks. They need to be smarter with

57
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: that stuff than they were last week in Wellington. At

58
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: times they kicking looked a lot quite aimless at times.

59
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: They need to be better with that. But Argentina under pressure.

60
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: But I don't expect it to be a free flowing

61
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: game necessary for the All Blacks, and they're going to

62
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: have to be a lot tidier with ball in hand

63
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: than they were at sky Stadium, and the conditions were

64
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: quite still, unusually for Wellington, and the weather was good,

65
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: so yeah, I can rain jacket tomorrow evening, Ryan, and

66
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: hope hopefully you remain dry.
