1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: Lots of sport at the weekend, Tyson obviously playing that 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: YouTuber guy. I watched that. We'll talk about that in 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: a second, but first Adam Cooper's here was sporting the 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: All Blacks losing by one point to France after a 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: good first half. It was disappointing to watch, wasn't it, 6 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: Monie Raun certainly was. 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 2: You know, as you said, so much promise from a 8 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 2: very strong and comprehensive first half. I thought arguably one 9 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 2: of their best spells of forty minutes from the whole season, 10 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: with the All Blacks doing what we've known all year 11 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: that they're capable of setting up some great tries. They 12 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 2: rarely had the free sure on the back foot. I 13 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: think they had to make well over a hundred tackles 14 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 2: against the All Blacks and that first spell, but as 15 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: it has also been rather familiar this season, just just 16 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 2: losing their way a little bit in the second In 17 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: the second spell, you know, a little bit of decision making, 18 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 2: a little bit of discipline, you know, you think of 19 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 2: a suffer on Moor's watched lineout throw. You know that 20 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 2: the likes of Cody Taylor getting penalized there. Yes, there 21 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: were some contentious decisions with the officiating, which were always 22 00:00:59,200 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: going to debate after. 23 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: But I think the All Blacks can We can't go 24 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: on and on about that. 25 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: I think the All Blacks lost that game themselves, regardless 26 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: of a couple of possible referee calls or tom decisions. 27 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: I think they again just lost their way a bit 28 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 2: and multiple factors just you know, let them down. Quite astonishing. 29 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: Now three in a row for France against the All 30 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 2: Blacks and starts to France, of course, where the All 31 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: Blacks lost the final last year, sort of comes back 32 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: to haunt them, which is really interesting. Hey, well what 33 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: do they. 34 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: Do now because that's their last game for the Northern Tour, 35 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: isn't it. 36 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: I've got Italy this weekend, so one more not not 37 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: as obviously as strong as opponents as the last couple 38 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: of weeks, so I suspect we'll see a few of 39 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 2: the younger players get a bit of a run and 40 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: they'll try and end the year on a bit of 41 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: a high. So certainly the toughest couple of games of 42 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: the tours all done in dusty. 43 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: And you've got an update for us on Black Caps 44 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: in the Sri Lanka Yees Slanka. 45 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: So yeah, Srilanka are batting and the run chase they're 46 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: trying to get two hundred and ten to beat New 47 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: Zealand's They are doing pretty well one hundred and twenty 48 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: three for five, needing about eighty seven runs from eighteen overs. 49 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: Socus almendis just in the middle order of the episode 50 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: of holding firm for the Sri Lankans, so unless New 51 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: Zealand can urgently get a few quick wickets, it's going 52 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: to be a Sri Lankan victory and which would see 53 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 2: them wrap up the series as well, because of course 54 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: the Sri Lankans won this first one day just a 55 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: few days ago. 56 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: Brilliant.
