But it is 320 00:17:09,427 --> 00:17:12,827 Speaker 4: just going to be a typical all black South Africa game, tight, 321 00:17:14,227 --> 00:17:14,707 Speaker 4: I like to. 322 00:17:14,667 --> 00:17:18,427 Speaker 7: Think, so it's you know, to have a blowout. 323 00:17:18,747 --> 00:17:20,707 Speaker 8: I can't see that. I can't see South Africa. 324 00:17:20,747 --> 00:17:24,547 Speaker 7: They look pretty rusty the first game against Australia, but 325 00:17:24,587 --> 00:17:26,347 Speaker 7: they came back last week. 326 00:17:27,307 --> 00:17:30,987 Speaker 8: Or two weeks ago, so no, I can't see that. 327 00:17:31,347 --> 00:17:33,787 Speaker 7: And I can't see the All Blacks blowing out either 328 00:17:34,307 --> 00:17:35,067 Speaker 7: at Eden Park. 329 00:17:35,227 --> 00:17:36,827 Speaker 8: So this is going to be. 330 00:17:36,907 --> 00:17:39,147 Speaker 7: This has been a proper test match, which which which 331 00:17:39,187 --> 00:17:43,307 Speaker 7: is why I think everyone's so excited the quality of 332 00:17:43,347 --> 00:17:45,467 Speaker 7: the players, and I think it's going to live up 333 00:17:45,507 --> 00:17:45,947 Speaker 7: to its bill. 334 00:17:46,427 --> 00:17:48,867 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you may well be right as you 335 00:17:48,987 --> 00:17:51,827 Speaker 4: usually are.

Instead, 345 00:18:17,187 --> 00:18:17,867 Speaker 3: it should. 346 00:18:17,587 --> 00:18:20,747 Speaker 4: Bring with it a feeling of supreme confidence that any 347 00:18:20,787 --> 00:18:23,147 Speaker 4: team coming to Eden Park is going to have to 348 00:18:23,147 --> 00:18:25,907 Speaker 4: do something pretty special, that they're going to come away 349 00:18:26,027 --> 00:18:28,267 Speaker 4: with a win.

I think we'll win the game. 354 00:18:40,547 --> 00:18:42,547 Speaker 4: It feels to me as though there is far too 355 00:18:42,627 --> 00:18:45,947 Speaker 4: much on the line for the All Blacks tonight redemption 356 00:18:46,627 --> 00:18:49,267 Speaker 4: after the loss of the Pumas and Buenos Aires last 357 00:18:49,267 --> 00:18:49,827 Speaker 4: time out. 358 00:18:50,307 --> 00:18:53,667 Speaker 3: Four straight defeats to the spring Box. 359 00:18:53,707 --> 00:18:56,307 Speaker 4: That even sounds crazy saying that, doesn't it They've won 360 00:18:56,347 --> 00:18:59,547 Speaker 4: the last four matches between the two of us, the 361 00:18:59,627 --> 00:19:04,107 Speaker 4: proud Eden Park record to preserve fifty without loss, forty 362 00:19:04,107 --> 00:19:07,147 Speaker 4: eight wins and just a couple of draws, and one 363 00:19:07,147 --> 00:19:11,387 Speaker 4: of the All Blacks' most popular players reaching centurion status 364 00:19:11,387 --> 00:19:16,147 Speaker 4: tonight in Ardi Savia.

He said, Okay, here's the situation where twelve 534 00:26:45,707 --> 00:26:49,907 Speaker 4: nine down time is up, the all Blacks are given 535 00:26:49,947 --> 00:26:53,907 Speaker 4: a penalty in kickable range. Would you be happy with 536 00:26:53,947 --> 00:26:59,387 Speaker 4: them kicking the points and taking the draw or would 537 00:26:59,387 --> 00:27:02,147 Speaker 4: you instead be urging them to kick for the corner, 538 00:27:02,867 --> 00:27:05,587 Speaker 4: set up the line out and attempt to score a 539 00:27:05,707 --> 00:27:10,427 Speaker 4: try to win it. It's a hypothetical situation, but I 540 00:27:10,427 --> 00:27:13,227 Speaker 4: think it's an interesting question and probably an insight into 541 00:27:13,267 --> 00:27:15,867 Speaker 4: how we're all feeling about the strength of the spring 542 00:27:15,907 --> 00:27:20,187 Speaker 4: box and this unbeaten record at Eden Park. 543 00:27:20,467 --> 00:27:25,027 Speaker 3: Would you be happy with a drawer tonight?

I'm 560 00:28:03,827 --> 00:28:08,307 Speaker 19: not as confident of an or Black win as you 561 00:28:08,427 --> 00:28:11,027 Speaker 19: might be at the prison point in time, even though 562 00:28:11,067 --> 00:28:15,547 Speaker 19: the stars may be aligning as you say. But I 563 00:28:15,587 --> 00:28:19,667 Speaker 19: think it's going to be a very very close mention. 564 00:28:19,947 --> 00:28:23,787 Speaker 19: If I don't know what the winner's like in Auckland, well. 565 00:28:23,627 --> 00:28:26,307 Speaker 4: I can tell you it's it's yeah, it's actually at 566 00:28:26,307 --> 00:28:28,987 Speaker 4: the moment it's it's raining lightly. But I've checked the 567 00:28:29,027 --> 00:28:32,307 Speaker 4: forecast just uh for just a preparation for you asking 568 00:28:32,307 --> 00:28:34,827 Speaker 4: the question. Actually, and it's meant to clear, it's meant 569 00:28:34,827 --> 00:28:37,267 Speaker 4: to clear later. I think it'll be dry tonight, it'll 570 00:28:37,307 --> 00:28:40,907 Speaker 4: be overcast, it won't look at there may be the 571 00:28:40,947 --> 00:28:43,987 Speaker 4: odd shower or two, but I don't think conditions will 572 00:28:44,027 --> 00:28:47,747 Speaker 4: affect the game. And like you, Ian, I'm expecting quite 573 00:28:47,787 --> 00:28:50,787 Speaker 4: a tight game. So really, I'm pretty sure we're not 574 00:28:50,787 --> 00:28:52,747 Speaker 4: going to see a tri fest and with a whole 575 00:28:52,747 --> 00:28:54,787 Speaker 4: heap of running rugby. But I do hope to see 576 00:28:55,027 --> 00:28:58,347 Speaker 4: some game breaking moments from the outside backs on both sides. 577 00:28:58,387 --> 00:28:58,667 Speaker 20: Really. 578 00:28:59,107 --> 00:29:02,507 Speaker 19: Oh absolutely, I agree with that, and I believe that 579 00:29:02,827 --> 00:29:05,187 Speaker 19: the score will be under twenty. 580 00:29:05,947 --> 00:29:06,147 Speaker 10: Yeah. 581 00:29:06,427 --> 00:29:08,667 Speaker 4: Last World Cup Final although were Bogars at twelve eleven, 582 00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:11,627 Speaker 4: thirteen twelve something like that. The exact scores catch me 583 00:29:11,627 --> 00:29:13,787 Speaker 4: and it was a one pointer. Well remember the World 584 00:29:13,787 --> 00:29:15,467 Speaker 4: Cup Final in twenty eleven eighty seven? 585 00:29:15,667 --> 00:29:16,707 Speaker 3: I can tell you as well. 586 00:29:16,787 --> 00:29:19,747 Speaker 4: And there's a number of South African fans making their 587 00:29:19,747 --> 00:29:21,707 Speaker 4: way into the Kingslander and they've got their. 588 00:29:21,627 --> 00:29:22,947 Speaker 3: Chests puffed out. 589 00:29:23,347 --> 00:29:27,827 Speaker 4: They look very confident, hands on, hits replica jerseys on, 590 00:29:28,467 --> 00:29:31,467 Speaker 4: looking like they are sensing victory at Eden part. 591 00:29:31,587 --> 00:29:33,707 Speaker 3: These blokes, I can tell you they really are. 592 00:29:34,147 --> 00:29:34,387 Speaker 18: Ian. 593 00:29:34,427 --> 00:29:36,107 Speaker 3: Great to hear from you, mate, enjoy the game. 594 00:29:36,587 --> 00:29:39,107 Speaker 4: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is our number, 595 00:29:39,507 --> 00:29:41,827 Speaker 4: Brian Hollo Matehi good eight? 596 00:29:42,027 --> 00:29:42,507 Speaker 21: How are you going? 597 00:29:42,587 --> 00:29:42,827 Speaker 22: David? 598 00:29:43,147 --> 00:29:43,707 Speaker 3: Good?

They often, and they've said, spend every 602 00:29:54,187 --> 00:29:56,907 Speaker 21: time as they breakdown or something, what happens the referees 603 00:29:56,947 --> 00:29:58,787 Speaker 21: having a act telling him what's going on, Who's going 604 00:29:58,827 --> 00:30:01,147 Speaker 21: to get that Carlo yellow card and what? And then 605 00:30:01,507 --> 00:30:04,147 Speaker 21: these guys are talking talking, talking about a move that 606 00:30:04,187 --> 00:30:05,387 Speaker 21: happened five minutes ago. 607 00:30:05,347 --> 00:30:06,027 Speaker 22: Which we all saw. 608 00:30:06,027 --> 00:30:07,107 Speaker 19: Anyway, is there. 609 00:30:06,987 --> 00:30:10,187 Speaker 21: Any way we could ask them very nicely if that 610 00:30:10,347 --> 00:30:13,027 Speaker 21: when the refers say it, having a word to the 611 00:30:13,067 --> 00:30:15,307 Speaker 21: players and tell them what's happened at set the setter? 612 00:30:15,587 --> 00:30:17,267 Speaker 21: Did they just zip it for a while? 613 00:30:18,347 --> 00:30:19,987 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's probably more of a question for 614 00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:22,547 Speaker 4: the Sky team, Brian, if I'm honest. But look, I 615 00:30:22,907 --> 00:30:29,547 Speaker 4: I know that they are regularly assessed, critiqued, if you like, 616 00:30:29,627 --> 00:30:32,347 Speaker 4: by their bosses, so I'm sure that would be taken 617 00:30:32,387 --> 00:30:32,787 Speaker 4: on board. 618 00:30:33,227 --> 00:30:33,747 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like you. 619 00:30:33,867 --> 00:30:36,507 Speaker 4: I think it's important sometimes to hear that content, isn't 620 00:30:36,507 --> 00:30:39,667 Speaker 4: it to know what the referee is saying. That's why 621 00:30:39,667 --> 00:30:41,787 Speaker 4: the referee is miked up. We've got that on our 622 00:30:41,867 --> 00:30:44,147 Speaker 4: radio commentary as well. I know Elliot Smith is very 623 00:30:44,147 --> 00:30:46,547 Speaker 4: good at that at making sure that that we all 624 00:30:47,427 --> 00:30:48,027 Speaker 4: that we all. 625 00:30:47,907 --> 00:30:50,627 Speaker 3: Hear what the referee has to say.

And he's he's a genius. He can 634 00:31:13,627 --> 00:31:16,467 Speaker 23: he can put the how how do the All Blacks 635 00:31:16,507 --> 00:31:19,467 Speaker 23: to catch the ball and they won't give away the 636 00:31:19,507 --> 00:31:22,267 Speaker 23: penalties of the breakdown. And he's such a genius you 637 00:31:22,307 --> 00:31:24,547 Speaker 23: can't undme estimate him. 638 00:31:24,587 --> 00:31:24,867 Speaker 6: You know. 639 00:31:25,787 --> 00:31:28,507 Speaker 23: It's a Wayne Smith, you know. But it's good God 640 00:31:28,547 --> 00:31:30,347 Speaker 23: on the All Black coach will bring him in because 641 00:31:30,667 --> 00:31:33,347 Speaker 23: he knows Eden back the back of the hand. The 642 00:31:33,347 --> 00:31:35,787 Speaker 23: All Blacks do too. And it's a portress. You're not 643 00:31:35,787 --> 00:31:37,387 Speaker 23: going to give it away to the spring Box.

When I was at university in the 671 00:32:48,147 --> 00:32:52,547 Speaker 24: second half of the sixties, it was very fashionable to 672 00:32:52,627 --> 00:32:56,267 Speaker 24: go down to eat, can't take your sleeping bag and 673 00:32:56,507 --> 00:33:00,027 Speaker 24: sleep in the queue, So we were out there the 674 00:33:00,147 --> 00:33:04,107 Speaker 24: night before left in the queue. I think he remember 675 00:33:04,747 --> 00:33:11,227 Speaker 24: a lot of guitars, was a very cheap white. We 676 00:33:11,307 --> 00:33:16,467 Speaker 24: were excellently horrified because one of my flatmates at eight 677 00:33:16,507 --> 00:33:19,987 Speaker 24: o'clock the daylight cake in code. She didn't wait for 678 00:33:20,067 --> 00:33:25,667 Speaker 24: the game. I had to admit, but I've got no 679 00:33:25,867 --> 00:33:29,347 Speaker 24: idea who was playing, what the score was. That The 680 00:33:29,427 --> 00:33:33,947 Speaker 24: whole point was you went out and slept on the cue. 681 00:33:34,427 --> 00:33:35,867 Speaker 25: I assured it. 682 00:33:35,747 --> 00:33:40,107 Speaker 24: Was very cold, and if only we had the facilities 683 00:33:40,107 --> 00:33:47,187 Speaker 24: that you've got something a quiet drink and placial surrounding. Yes, 684 00:33:47,427 --> 00:33:51,387 Speaker 24: So I'd be interested to see if for many other 685 00:33:51,467 --> 00:33:55,187 Speaker 24: people who even still alive, who ever did to this? 686 00:33:55,707 --> 00:33:57,667 Speaker 3: Oh, Jerry, that's a great memory.

Can't 698 00:34:22,147 --> 00:34:25,547 Speaker 4: we think we're the poorer for it to miss out 699 00:34:25,547 --> 00:34:29,547 Speaker 4: on those experiences of sleeping rough.

How confident 765 00:37:06,867 --> 00:37:09,307 Speaker 4: do you feel that that your team tonight can break 766 00:37:09,307 --> 00:37:10,067 Speaker 4: that Eaton. 767 00:37:09,867 --> 00:37:12,587 Speaker 3: Park, that In Park run of fifty matches without defeat. 768 00:37:12,827 --> 00:37:15,067 Speaker 13: Yeah, well, I mean I think that's that's part impossible. 769 00:37:15,107 --> 00:37:17,787 Speaker 13: Why we came on this two because we thought, you know, 770 00:37:17,867 --> 00:37:20,227 Speaker 13: as tours and Springbok tours to New Zealand, it doesn't 771 00:37:20,227 --> 00:37:23,787 Speaker 13: always go well. So we felt as South African fans, 772 00:37:23,787 --> 00:37:27,587 Speaker 13: this is probably the chance. So out of you know, probability, 773 00:37:28,027 --> 00:37:30,907 Speaker 13: it's probably our best chance albe that though, I think 774 00:37:30,987 --> 00:37:33,387 Speaker 13: between twenty and thirty percent, And that's not me being 775 00:37:33,867 --> 00:37:34,347 Speaker 13: only that. 776 00:37:34,347 --> 00:37:35,507 Speaker 6: Much, that's me being realistic. 777 00:37:35,667 --> 00:37:37,627 Speaker 4: So I think it's a coin flip. I honestly think 778 00:37:37,667 --> 00:37:38,427 Speaker 4: it's fifty fifty. 779 00:37:38,787 --> 00:37:39,867 Speaker 6: Yeah, I do think so. 780 00:37:39,987 --> 00:37:42,867 Speaker 13: But but well, I just I think it comes from 781 00:37:42,867 --> 00:37:44,787 Speaker 13: the respect that we have with all bracts and a 782 00:37:44,787 --> 00:37:47,947 Speaker 13: better fear in some in cases it's it's they it's 783 00:37:47,987 --> 00:37:51,787 Speaker 13: their fortress, it's their home ground, backs against the wall 784 00:37:51,867 --> 00:37:56,627 Speaker 13: for them, So we understand what that feels like. And 785 00:37:57,107 --> 00:37:58,907 Speaker 13: I just think it'll be greatly be tough. We are, yeah, 786 00:37:58,947 --> 00:38:01,187 Speaker 13: because we hope and we we think it is probably 787 00:38:01,187 --> 00:38:04,027 Speaker 13: our best chance. I still beg it at like thirty percent, 788 00:38:04,587 --> 00:38:08,587 Speaker 13: but I mean, if if it does come up, we'll 789 00:38:08,627 --> 00:38:09,707 Speaker 13: be at Kingsland until three. 790 00:38:09,747 --> 00:38:13,427 Speaker 4: As we left to drag you Ruben, you get a chance. 791 00:38:13,427 --> 00:38:14,827 Speaker 4: Are you going to stay on for the Wellington Teeth 792 00:38:14,867 --> 00:38:15,267 Speaker 4: next week? 793 00:38:15,387 --> 00:38:17,587 Speaker 27: Yes, we are staying on for the Weddington Test.

It's proven to be so difficult that 926 00:44:15,987 --> 00:44:17,827 Speaker 31: that you know, nobody's been able to do it for 927 00:44:17,867 --> 00:44:20,027 Speaker 31: that long. But you know, tonight is one of those 928 00:44:20,507 --> 00:44:22,467 Speaker 31: one of those matches that I think that they'll they'll 929 00:44:22,547 --> 00:44:24,267 Speaker 31: hang their hats on the fact that you know, they've 930 00:44:24,267 --> 00:44:26,987 Speaker 31: they've got an outside chance and and they'll give everything. 931 00:44:26,987 --> 00:44:28,947 Speaker 20: I think it's a it's a fantastic opportunity. 932 00:44:29,067 --> 00:44:31,227 Speaker 3: Do you think it's just an outside chance, Bob? Or 933 00:44:31,307 --> 00:44:32,587 Speaker 3: is this is this a coin flip? 934 00:44:32,627 --> 00:44:36,667 Speaker 4: I feel as though there's very little between these two teams. 935 00:44:37,107 --> 00:44:39,227 Speaker 31: Yeah, I think there is very little between these the 936 00:44:39,227 --> 00:44:40,947 Speaker 31: two teams. I think you're right, you know, But but 937 00:44:41,027 --> 00:44:43,907 Speaker 31: it's going to come down to who turns up this evening. 938 00:44:43,947 --> 00:44:46,987 Speaker 31: You know, on the on the sort of on the 939 00:44:47,027 --> 00:44:51,187 Speaker 31: balance of probability. You know that the Abs have have 940 00:44:51,307 --> 00:44:55,307 Speaker 31: been more successful here at home and and therefore, you know, 941 00:44:55,467 --> 00:44:56,467 Speaker 31: have a. 942 00:44:56,427 --> 00:44:58,107 Speaker 20: Fortress that they can defend, et cetera. 943 00:44:58,147 --> 00:45:01,347 Speaker 31: But then the spring Box have done some some amazing things, 944 00:45:01,347 --> 00:45:04,387 Speaker 31: some crazy, crazy and brave things over the last sort 945 00:45:04,387 --> 00:45:08,507 Speaker 31: of six year periods near period, and they've achieved all 946 00:45:08,547 --> 00:45:10,787 Speaker 31: over the world. So I'm I'm confident that they'll give 947 00:45:10,827 --> 00:45:13,187 Speaker 31: it a real red hot go and and I think 948 00:45:13,427 --> 00:45:14,827 Speaker 31: they'll be they'll be in this game. 949 00:45:14,867 --> 00:45:17,147 Speaker 20: But it's still a very difficult thing to do. 950 00:45:17,267 --> 00:45:17,387 Speaker 2: You know. 951 00:45:17,427 --> 00:45:19,467 Speaker 20: I can't. I can't. I can't get out of that 952 00:45:19,467 --> 00:45:21,027 Speaker 20: that part of it. I can't get out of my mind. 953 00:45:21,267 --> 00:45:23,867 Speaker 3: We all know the South African rugby d NA, the 954 00:45:23,907 --> 00:45:27,707 Speaker 3: physicality in the and the you know, just the the 955 00:45:27,747 --> 00:45:31,827 Speaker 3: big men running into battle. You know, time after time 956 00:45:31,907 --> 00:45:34,387 Speaker 3: we know what South African rugby looks like. Is that 957 00:45:34,667 --> 00:45:37,947 Speaker 3: what you expect tonight that they will play that way? 958 00:45:38,107 --> 00:45:38,787 Speaker 3: South Africa? 959 00:45:39,427 --> 00:45:40,867 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think they'll be very physical. 960 00:45:41,907 --> 00:45:44,347 Speaker 31: I think, you know, I've got to say just looking 961 00:45:44,387 --> 00:45:49,107 Speaker 31: at the at the teams that the Abs have got 962 00:45:49,107 --> 00:45:51,067 Speaker 31: a very physical bench coming on as well. You know, 963 00:45:51,067 --> 00:45:54,267 Speaker 31: they've got a physical bench, physical pack starting and then 964 00:45:54,307 --> 00:45:57,427 Speaker 31: a physical bench coming on as well. So so you know, 965 00:45:57,467 --> 00:45:59,787 Speaker 31: maybe they've they've taken a leaf out of Russy's book 966 00:45:59,787 --> 00:46:03,467 Speaker 31: and said we'll do our own little bomb squad version 967 00:46:03,547 --> 00:46:05,827 Speaker 31: of But I think South Africa have got some nice 968 00:46:05,827 --> 00:46:09,267 Speaker 31: physicality t I think they might look at the stats 969 00:46:09,387 --> 00:46:12,707 Speaker 31: in in in in this game and at Eden Park 970 00:46:12,907 --> 00:46:15,227 Speaker 31: and they might say, look, you know, to be in 971 00:46:15,267 --> 00:46:17,947 Speaker 31: this we need to play a lot of rugby in 972 00:46:17,947 --> 00:46:21,147 Speaker 31: New Zealand's territory. So we need to we need to 973 00:46:21,227 --> 00:46:24,147 Speaker 31: keep them there because we don't want them attacking, you know, 974 00:46:24,307 --> 00:46:27,547 Speaker 31: us relentlessly when making mistakes in our own half. So 975 00:46:27,587 --> 00:46:29,427 Speaker 31: I think we we'll probably see quite a mature game 976 00:46:29,467 --> 00:46:31,307 Speaker 31: from the spring box. I would I would imagine, And 977 00:46:31,347 --> 00:46:34,267 Speaker 31: then you know that they've got some big men who 978 00:46:34,347 --> 00:46:36,227 Speaker 31: stand up in the big games, and and you know, 979 00:46:36,227 --> 00:46:39,427 Speaker 31: I'm thinking of the Damian Delendi's and Chess and Colby's 980 00:46:39,427 --> 00:46:42,467 Speaker 31: and Andre Pollard's, you know, I mean, these are guys 981 00:46:42,507 --> 00:46:45,187 Speaker 31: who've who've done it wherever they've needed. 982 00:46:44,947 --> 00:46:46,987 Speaker 20: To, all over the world. So it's a it's a 983 00:46:46,987 --> 00:46:48,907 Speaker 20: great opportunity for them to shine. 984 00:46:48,827 --> 00:46:51,627 Speaker 4: As has see Calisi of course, and we didn't know 985 00:46:51,667 --> 00:46:54,227 Speaker 4: whether he was coming, let alone be available to play. 986 00:46:54,307 --> 00:46:56,707 Speaker 3: He's here, He's starting at number eight tonight. How big 987 00:46:56,787 --> 00:46:57,387 Speaker 3: a boost is that. 988 00:46:58,147 --> 00:46:59,147 Speaker 20: I think it's a great boost. 989 00:46:59,187 --> 00:47:01,227 Speaker 31: I mean, here is probably one of the most effective 990 00:47:01,707 --> 00:47:03,827 Speaker 31: loose forwards we've seen in the In the game, you know, 991 00:47:03,867 --> 00:47:07,027 Speaker 31: he's up against a very good car to that in 992 00:47:07,307 --> 00:47:11,747 Speaker 31: addis severe and and you know the whole loose forward 993 00:47:12,387 --> 00:47:13,987 Speaker 31: trio from from New. 994 00:47:14,027 --> 00:47:14,747 Speaker 20: Zealand are good. 995 00:47:14,747 --> 00:47:18,427 Speaker 31: But you know where where Sears Sears got a fantastic advantage. 996 00:47:18,667 --> 00:47:22,147 Speaker 20: He's a he's a very giving player. 997 00:47:22,267 --> 00:47:24,547 Speaker 31: You know, he does a lot of assist tackles, he 998 00:47:24,587 --> 00:47:27,267 Speaker 31: does a lot of assist carries, he does a lot 999 00:47:27,347 --> 00:47:29,907 Speaker 31: of snaffling on the ball, looking after the rock area. 1000 00:47:29,947 --> 00:47:34,227 Speaker 31: He's a very he's a very clean sort of proponent 1001 00:47:34,267 --> 00:47:36,387 Speaker 31: if he will, of the breakdown area, and that's going 1002 00:47:36,467 --> 00:47:37,947 Speaker 31: to be super important tonight. 1003 00:47:38,027 --> 00:47:39,267 Speaker 20: So I'm delighted he's back. 1004 00:47:39,347 --> 00:47:42,707 Speaker 31: I've heard a little story on the side that he said, listen, 1005 00:47:42,747 --> 00:47:44,547 Speaker 31: he wants to concentrate on his game. He wants to 1006 00:47:44,547 --> 00:47:46,987 Speaker 31: put in the effort, so the burden of captain c 1007 00:47:47,147 --> 00:47:49,227 Speaker 31: he doesn't want to change any of that, and just 1008 00:47:49,267 --> 00:47:53,067 Speaker 31: an amazing sort of show of servant leadership. He just 1009 00:47:53,107 --> 00:47:55,027 Speaker 31: wants to get in and do his job. And that's 1010 00:47:55,107 --> 00:47:58,547 Speaker 31: that's just amazing, and it really is, you know, indicative 1011 00:47:58,587 --> 00:47:59,467 Speaker 31: of the measure of the man. 1012 00:47:59,627 --> 00:48:02,227 Speaker 4: Indeed, so the captain's armband goes to Jesse Kleel. We 1013 00:48:02,267 --> 00:48:05,107 Speaker 4: all know his quality. What kind of leader will he be? 1014 00:48:05,187 --> 00:48:06,987 Speaker 20: Though? I think he's. 1015 00:48:08,427 --> 00:48:10,707 Speaker 31: You know, he leads with integrity, he does the hard work, 1016 00:48:10,747 --> 00:48:12,747 Speaker 31: he doesn't shy away from anything. I mean, you've seen 1017 00:48:13,187 --> 00:48:15,667 Speaker 31: how he's built and how you can deliver on the field. 1018 00:48:16,147 --> 00:48:19,627 Speaker 31: I think Jesse will rarely concentrate on making sure that 1019 00:48:19,907 --> 00:48:23,667 Speaker 31: the big decisions are made well, so you know, tactically, 1020 00:48:23,707 --> 00:48:24,947 Speaker 31: where are we playing this game? 1021 00:48:25,107 --> 00:48:25,627 Speaker 20: Tactically? 1022 00:48:25,627 --> 00:48:28,107 Speaker 31: We've seen the spring Box have got an outside end defense, 1023 00:48:28,147 --> 00:48:31,387 Speaker 31: a rush defense of every Chao tech defense that doesn't 1024 00:48:31,427 --> 00:48:33,107 Speaker 31: work when you're on your own twenty two, but it 1025 00:48:33,147 --> 00:48:35,187 Speaker 31: does work when you're in the oppositions twenty two. So 1026 00:48:35,227 --> 00:48:36,987 Speaker 31: I think they'll want to try and play the rugby there, 1027 00:48:36,987 --> 00:48:39,547 Speaker 31: and Jesse knows he's as the leader, he's got. 1028 00:48:39,467 --> 00:48:41,427 Speaker 20: To try and keep the team in that red zone 1029 00:48:41,467 --> 00:48:42,467 Speaker 20: and in that territory. 1030 00:48:42,827 --> 00:48:45,787 Speaker 4: Bob, as someone who's played a lot of big rugby matches, 1031 00:48:45,867 --> 00:48:49,227 Speaker 4: what is the best strategy for not letting the game 1032 00:48:49,387 --> 00:48:51,227 Speaker 4: and the occasion get the better of you? 1033 00:48:52,587 --> 00:48:55,027 Speaker 31: I think, I mean, what a great question, because you know, 1034 00:48:55,027 --> 00:49:00,467 Speaker 31: everybody's got their own different routines, different background, different experiences, 1035 00:49:00,507 --> 00:49:00,947 Speaker 31: et cetera. 1036 00:49:01,027 --> 00:49:01,747 Speaker 20: I think you'll see. 1037 00:49:02,187 --> 00:49:04,267 Speaker 31: The one thing I do love about the Springbok team 1038 00:49:04,307 --> 00:49:06,867 Speaker 31: is that they're so deeply passionate about but what they 1039 00:49:06,947 --> 00:49:09,787 Speaker 31: mean to the country and what they mean to people 1040 00:49:09,827 --> 00:49:12,827 Speaker 31: back home, that they'll take it so seriously that they'll 1041 00:49:12,907 --> 00:49:15,107 Speaker 31: make sure they prepared in all the right ways. 1042 00:49:15,107 --> 00:49:17,267 Speaker 20: And that's going to be different things for different people. 1043 00:49:17,307 --> 00:49:19,227 Speaker 31: You know, I often go in early in the test 1044 00:49:19,267 --> 00:49:21,707 Speaker 31: matches and you watch the different pockets of guys preparing. 1045 00:49:22,227 --> 00:49:24,827 Speaker 31: Some guys are off stretching very early. Some guys are 1046 00:49:24,867 --> 00:49:28,747 Speaker 31: just taking in the stadium, you know, the sort of 1047 00:49:28,827 --> 00:49:33,907 Speaker 31: emotional cues and markers from the fans and the people 1048 00:49:33,947 --> 00:49:37,027 Speaker 31: out there. And then some people are giving the old 1049 00:49:37,067 --> 00:49:39,707 Speaker 31: silent treatment and just walking around in their own thoughts. 1050 00:49:39,787 --> 00:49:41,987 Speaker 31: So I think they'll all find that their best way 1051 00:49:42,027 --> 00:49:47,947 Speaker 31: to prepare and then bring a great physical and emotional 1052 00:49:48,627 --> 00:49:49,947 Speaker 31: charge to the battle tonight. 1053 00:49:50,107 --> 00:49:53,147 Speaker 4: All right, to finish, then, what type of test are 1054 00:49:53,187 --> 00:49:55,387 Speaker 4: you expecting? Are you looking at a is it a 1055 00:49:55,427 --> 00:49:57,347 Speaker 4: twelve eleven again that sort of thing. I don't think 1056 00:49:57,387 --> 00:50:00,227 Speaker 4: this is a blowout. Is it a type test match 1057 00:50:00,547 --> 00:50:02,227 Speaker 4: decided on moments? 1058 00:50:03,227 --> 00:50:05,147 Speaker 20: I think it's going to be decided on moments. Yeah, 1059 00:50:05,387 --> 00:50:05,747 Speaker 20: you're right. 1060 00:50:05,827 --> 00:50:08,267 Speaker 31: I mean, I'm hoping that we don't see too much 1061 00:50:08,987 --> 00:50:11,867 Speaker 31: TMO and outside in influence. I'm hoping we see two 1062 00:50:12,347 --> 00:50:15,147 Speaker 31: teams that play with fifteen men, you know, for for 1063 00:50:15,307 --> 00:50:20,307 Speaker 31: the whole contest, and it's just a chance to see 1064 00:50:20,307 --> 00:50:23,987 Speaker 31: them test themselves physically, which which will will probably mean 1065 00:50:24,067 --> 00:50:26,427 Speaker 31: that the measure of this will be a very tight 1066 00:50:26,707 --> 00:50:29,587 Speaker 31: you know, who's the first person to. 1067 00:50:29,827 --> 00:50:30,907 Speaker 20: Make a mistake? Top thing? 1068 00:50:30,947 --> 00:50:34,107 Speaker 31: And that's a pressure cooker environment, so it should be 1069 00:50:34,147 --> 00:50:35,107 Speaker 31: a fantastic match. 1070 00:50:35,147 --> 00:50:37,387 Speaker 4: I'm always love welcoming you to New Zealand and having 1071 00:50:37,387 --> 00:50:38,347 Speaker 4: you on the radio with this pop. 1072 00:50:38,347 --> 00:50:40,827 Speaker 3: Thanks so much, man.

Do you think that. 1141 00:53:31,147 --> 00:53:35,627 Speaker 32: Percent yeah, dating back well, I mean, like, okay, so 1142 00:53:35,747 --> 00:53:38,227 Speaker 32: Readmission I suppose, I mean I wasn't really around. I 1143 00:53:38,267 --> 00:53:41,867 Speaker 32: was probably about three years old when the Rebel Tursok based. 1144 00:53:41,907 --> 00:53:45,187 Speaker 32: But uh, certainly since Readmission, I think they had to 1145 00:53:45,187 --> 00:53:47,787 Speaker 32: really rebuild that rivalry as well, because kind of the 1146 00:53:47,827 --> 00:53:51,547 Speaker 32: Wallabies that stuck their nose in there, the Betters Load 1147 00:53:51,547 --> 00:53:53,347 Speaker 32: Cup and all that, which is still competitive, but that 1148 00:53:53,467 --> 00:53:55,267 Speaker 32: had come like the big one for the All Blacks. 1149 00:53:56,027 --> 00:53:58,827 Speaker 32: But now that rivalry is back, and certainly for the 1150 00:53:58,827 --> 00:54:01,147 Speaker 32: spring Box. Yeah, the All Blacks are the guys that 1151 00:54:01,467 --> 00:54:03,827 Speaker 32: you always want to bet that they who you're aiming for. 1152 00:54:04,947 --> 00:54:07,627 Speaker 32: And yeah, it's great, I mean like you get goosebumps 1153 00:54:07,627 --> 00:54:11,267 Speaker 32: watching out. Watched several All Blacks tests, luckily the more 1154 00:54:11,307 --> 00:54:14,227 Speaker 32: recent ones of being in the spring Box favor. I've 1155 00:54:14,227 --> 00:54:14,907 Speaker 32: also seen some. 1156 00:54:14,867 --> 00:54:18,267 Speaker 6: Embarrassing well not embarrassing, but defeats. 1157 00:54:18,307 --> 00:54:21,827 Speaker 32: Going the other way. So yeah, it's lacquer as they say. 1158 00:54:22,587 --> 00:54:24,307 Speaker 32: The way we're going right now, we're four wins on 1159 00:54:24,347 --> 00:54:27,147 Speaker 32: the trot. We're hoping to make it five today. 1160 00:54:27,067 --> 00:54:29,187 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and we're hoping to stop that. 1161 00:54:30,347 --> 00:54:32,427 Speaker 4: You obviously had the tour all ready to go before 1162 00:54:32,467 --> 00:54:35,747 Speaker 4: the Australian part of the Rugby Championship. Where was your 1163 00:54:35,867 --> 00:54:38,667 Speaker 4: enthusiasm for the spring Box dampened it all by what 1164 00:54:38,707 --> 00:54:39,667 Speaker 4: happened at Last Park? 1165 00:54:40,387 --> 00:54:43,547 Speaker 6: Uh yeah, well not really dampened. 1166 00:54:44,507 --> 00:54:47,307 Speaker 32: I think the spring Box always performed better when their 1167 00:54:47,307 --> 00:54:49,987 Speaker 32: backs tore against the wall I think, like if they're 1168 00:54:50,027 --> 00:54:53,027 Speaker 32: always favorites the whole time, I wouldn't say they become complacent, 1169 00:54:53,147 --> 00:54:56,627 Speaker 32: but they become complacent to a degree, and they made 1170 00:54:56,627 --> 00:54:59,827 Speaker 32: a couple of stilly errors trying to you know, offload 1171 00:54:59,867 --> 00:55:04,347 Speaker 32: in the tackle and throwing his hail Mary passes against Australia. 1172 00:55:04,387 --> 00:55:05,907 Speaker 6: Australia with full value for their window. 1173 00:55:05,947 --> 00:55:08,187 Speaker 32: They did to win that game, but I think the 1174 00:55:08,347 --> 00:55:10,587 Speaker 32: spring Box also kind of like put a couple of 1175 00:55:10,627 --> 00:55:13,827 Speaker 32: nails in their own coffin there. But sports, you can't 1176 00:55:13,827 --> 00:55:16,267 Speaker 32: win them all. And they came back in Cape Town. 1177 00:55:16,507 --> 00:55:19,027 Speaker 32: Still not a great performance, but they're still won. And 1178 00:55:19,507 --> 00:55:23,787 Speaker 32: now against a wounded All Blacks team. Yeah, we certainly 1179 00:55:24,027 --> 00:55:26,027 Speaker 32: in Argentina, you guys had a good game and then 1180 00:55:26,027 --> 00:55:26,547 Speaker 32: a bad game. 1181 00:55:26,667 --> 00:55:27,107 Speaker 18: Yeah. 1182 00:55:27,187 --> 00:55:28,707 Speaker 6: Well, I think we're both kind of like in the 1183 00:55:28,747 --> 00:55:31,507 Speaker 6: same same era as such, like. 1184 00:55:31,547 --> 00:55:34,027 Speaker 32: We've gotta we gotta get act together or else, you know, 1185 00:55:34,067 --> 00:55:36,707 Speaker 32: the Wallabies all of the Pumas are just as much 1186 00:55:36,707 --> 00:55:40,147 Speaker 32: in contention for the Rugby Championship as as. 1187 00:55:39,827 --> 00:55:42,307 Speaker 4: Two of Yeah, there's thing stand all had one one 1188 00:55:42,307 --> 00:55:44,027 Speaker 4: and one lost, an't we so you know it's it's 1189 00:55:44,067 --> 00:55:45,787 Speaker 4: pretty even or right just to finish. 1190 00:55:45,787 --> 00:55:48,347 Speaker 3: Then do you expect this to be a typical all 1191 00:55:48,347 --> 00:55:51,947 Speaker 3: blacks out there? For get teas match tight decided on moments. 1192 00:55:51,987 --> 00:55:52,267 Speaker 22: We're not. 1193 00:55:52,427 --> 00:55:54,867 Speaker 3: We're not looking at a blow eight there are we? 1194 00:55:54,867 --> 00:55:55,107 Speaker 33: Well? 1195 00:55:55,227 --> 00:55:57,707 Speaker 32: The weird thing is that like Russy has come for 1196 00:55:57,707 --> 00:55:59,547 Speaker 32: a five three splits on the bench and I'm not 1197 00:55:59,587 --> 00:56:03,547 Speaker 32: too sure if that's a good idea because that's the 1198 00:56:03,547 --> 00:56:05,907 Speaker 32: Springboks playing to their strengths would be a six two split. 1199 00:56:06,667 --> 00:56:08,907 Speaker 32: He's bought an Ethan Hook who's only played one game 1200 00:56:09,027 --> 00:56:11,107 Speaker 32: for the spring Box and to throw them in to 1201 00:56:11,307 --> 00:56:14,187 Speaker 32: Eden park You know, with all due respect Ethan, I 1202 00:56:14,187 --> 00:56:16,947 Speaker 32: hope you do well and you know, I'm sure you 1203 00:56:16,987 --> 00:56:17,627 Speaker 32: will do well. 1204 00:56:17,827 --> 00:56:19,027 Speaker 6: But it is quite a. 1205 00:56:20,547 --> 00:56:21,907 Speaker 32: It's a big thing to throw them and it's such 1206 00:56:21,907 --> 00:56:24,667 Speaker 32: a big game. But there's guys have got a lot 1207 00:56:24,707 --> 00:56:26,507 Speaker 32: to prove there.

You know this is the one that 1211 00:56:32,107 --> 00:56:35,587 Speaker 32: they have to win to break that. Who do you know, 1212 00:56:35,707 --> 00:56:38,547 Speaker 32: all Blacks, you're going to lose one eventually. We're hoping 1213 00:56:38,587 --> 00:56:41,867 Speaker 32: it's going to be this game at the Fortress.

Hey, Stuart, we meant to 1366 01:02:53,227 --> 01:02:55,587 Speaker 4: get to here before one, but couldn't. I asked the 1367 01:02:55,667 --> 01:02:57,947 Speaker 4: question about whether you would take a drawer, would you 1368 01:02:57,947 --> 01:02:58,627 Speaker 4: take a drawer. 1369 01:02:59,787 --> 01:03:04,227 Speaker 35: Yeah, no worries at all, Jason. And a wonderful atmosphere 1370 01:03:04,267 --> 01:03:06,707 Speaker 35: down there.

Very good question, Jason. 1373 01:03:13,307 --> 01:03:16,427 Speaker 35: I think i'd go for I hate to say this, 1374 01:03:16,507 --> 01:03:20,547 Speaker 35: I'd go for the draw. I think it's mainly to 1375 01:03:20,907 --> 01:03:27,107 Speaker 35: keep that Eden Park who do alive and yeah, yeah, 1376 01:03:27,107 --> 01:03:29,587 Speaker 35: it's a tough one. And I think a growl would 1377 01:03:29,587 --> 01:03:33,267 Speaker 35: also still keep us in line to try to win 1378 01:03:33,307 --> 01:03:34,547 Speaker 35: the championship this year. 1379 01:03:35,067 --> 01:03:37,667 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's another very good point because it's so tight, 1380 01:03:37,747 --> 01:03:40,427 Speaker 4: isn't it, Stuart? With as I said before, all four 1381 01:03:40,467 --> 01:03:43,267 Speaker 4: teams after two games having a win and a loss. 1382 01:03:43,307 --> 01:03:45,627 Speaker 3: I'm not sure anybody would have predicted that. 1383 01:03:45,947 --> 01:03:48,947 Speaker 4: I'm almost certain nobody thought that the Wallabies would beat 1384 01:03:48,987 --> 01:03:51,867 Speaker 4: the spring Box at Alice Park. But here we are, 1385 01:03:51,907 --> 01:03:54,147 Speaker 4: and what are you thinking about that game in Townsville 1386 01:03:54,227 --> 01:03:56,787 Speaker 4: this afternoon, Wallaby's against Argentina. 1387 01:03:57,227 --> 01:04:00,147 Speaker 3: It'll be hot there.

I get the 1410 01:05:12,027 --> 01:05:14,467 Speaker 4: feeling this is going to be a very tight Test match. 1411 01:05:14,507 --> 01:05:16,667 Speaker 4: I did say yesterday I thought the All Blacks might 1412 01:05:16,707 --> 01:05:19,587 Speaker 4: win by nine. But the more I think about it, 1413 01:05:19,587 --> 01:05:21,387 Speaker 4: and now that the day has arrived and I look 1414 01:05:21,427 --> 01:05:25,067 Speaker 4: around at these rather confident looking South African fans here, 1415 01:05:25,547 --> 01:05:27,387 Speaker 4: I wonder whether it might be a bit tighter than that. 1416 01:05:27,467 --> 01:05:29,427 Speaker 4: Great to chat test, Stuart, thanks for taking the time 1417 01:05:29,467 --> 01:05:32,227 Speaker 4: to call a couple on text here. Ian says, I'm 1418 01:05:32,267 --> 01:05:36,307 Speaker 4: loving tupaor Vity back at Locke. It makes me wonder, 1419 01:05:36,627 --> 01:05:38,987 Speaker 4: do you think his blindside games were less about him 1420 01:05:39,027 --> 01:05:43,027 Speaker 4: moving to six permanently and more about giving Fabian Holland 1421 01:05:43,067 --> 01:05:46,267 Speaker 4: some meaningful test experience go the abs. It's a good pointing, 1422 01:05:46,267 --> 01:05:48,947 Speaker 4: and I think they were all in on the on 1423 01:05:49,027 --> 01:05:52,787 Speaker 4: the tupaul Vi experiments where I thought they were. But 1424 01:05:52,907 --> 01:05:55,027 Speaker 4: then the team came out on Thursday and here we 1425 01:05:55,067 --> 01:05:58,147 Speaker 4: are with tupaor Vity back in the second row. I 1426 01:05:58,587 --> 01:06:01,587 Speaker 4: listened to Scott Robertson at the media conference after the 1427 01:06:01,627 --> 01:06:06,707 Speaker 4: team was named, and he talked about his desire to 1428 01:06:06,707 --> 01:06:08,627 Speaker 4: to have impact off the bench. 1429 01:06:09,467 --> 01:06:12,227 Speaker 3: And Fabian Holland will certainly give you that. 1430 01:06:12,707 --> 01:06:16,267 Speaker 4: So will Summer Sauny Tokaho, so will to Mighty Williams, 1431 01:06:16,307 --> 01:06:20,027 Speaker 4: so will Tyrol Lomax, so will Tuples see Kadifi. So 1432 01:06:20,067 --> 01:06:23,867 Speaker 4: you're getting major impact off the bench there, and and 1433 01:06:24,267 --> 01:06:29,427 Speaker 4: Fabian Holland a big part of that. So yeah, I 1434 01:06:29,467 --> 01:06:32,387 Speaker 4: think was one of our best all blacks last year. 1435 01:06:32,947 --> 01:06:35,907 Speaker 4: And that was all in the second row. So I 1436 01:06:35,907 --> 01:06:38,187 Speaker 4: think what we do have the ability to do if 1437 01:06:38,267 --> 01:06:41,027 Speaker 4: needed is bring Holland on, but he could move to 1438 01:06:41,067 --> 01:06:42,067 Speaker 4: six Simon. 1439 01:06:41,747 --> 01:06:42,747 Speaker 3: Parker starting there. 1440 01:06:42,947 --> 01:06:45,867 Speaker 4: They've got options around what they do there, with toopor 1441 01:06:45,947 --> 01:06:49,707 Speaker 4: VI now becoming a true utility a lock six. We 1442 01:06:49,787 --> 01:06:54,267 Speaker 4: haven't had too many lock six's for a while, and 1443 01:06:54,347 --> 01:06:57,027 Speaker 4: he is certainly one. He has certainly won. 1444 01:06:57,587 --> 01:06:59,027 Speaker 3: How do you see it playing out, Dan. 1445 01:07:01,027 --> 01:07:01,467 Speaker 16: Parney? 1446 01:07:01,707 --> 01:07:08,147 Speaker 18: I can see it Praye out worm, a referee decision 1447 01:07:08,427 --> 01:07:10,307 Speaker 18: and the finals two minutes. 1448 01:07:12,747 --> 01:07:14,507 Speaker 4: We don't want that, though, Dan, do we don't want 1449 01:07:14,507 --> 01:07:16,907 Speaker 4: it to be decided by a refereeing decision? 1450 01:07:18,427 --> 01:07:22,427 Speaker 36: Well, sometimes they are fini and that's what I'm. 1451 01:07:22,307 --> 01:07:23,067 Speaker 37: Gonna go with. 1452 01:07:24,427 --> 01:07:26,627 Speaker 3: All Right, Well, Dan, I hope it doesn't happen. 1453 01:07:26,707 --> 01:07:29,627 Speaker 4: I hope that it's decided without the referee having to 1454 01:07:29,627 --> 01:07:30,307 Speaker 4: get involved. 1455 01:07:30,547 --> 01:07:32,147 Speaker 3: But I do take on board what you're saying. 1456 01:07:32,187 --> 01:07:35,467 Speaker 4: Look, tight matches are often decided by moments, and we 1457 01:07:35,507 --> 01:07:39,667 Speaker 4: want those moments to be player inspired. But who knows 1458 01:07:39,787 --> 01:07:42,507 Speaker 4: what say the referee might have text here, don't chink 1459 01:07:42,547 --> 01:07:44,587 Speaker 4: to Piney, don't jink it.

I 1551 01:11:07,827 --> 01:11:10,627 Speaker 17: think the week before was the Mary match and everyone 1552 01:11:10,827 --> 01:11:13,107 Speaker 17: was where the Mary's going to do him? And of 1553 01:11:13,147 --> 01:11:18,347 Speaker 17: course they thrashed them.

My 1555 01:11:22,827 --> 01:11:26,387 Speaker 17: brother and I got in early because we queued and 1556 01:11:26,467 --> 01:11:32,627 Speaker 17: the children's cue, and my father was way way down 1557 01:11:32,747 --> 01:11:36,427 Speaker 17: the way down the road, so we read and then 1558 01:11:36,587 --> 01:11:40,187 Speaker 17: spread ourselves out, and then we had to spot dad 1559 01:11:40,187 --> 01:11:45,787 Speaker 17: as he walked along.

So danger game American for Wallabies after the 1633 01:15:46,827 --> 01:15:52,547 Speaker 39: highs and almost the amazing double win over in South Africa. 1634 01:15:52,707 --> 01:15:56,187 Speaker 39: But yeah, they just got to look up the warrio 1635 01:15:56,187 --> 01:15:57,547 Speaker 39: I've got with the Wallabies. They've been up for a 1636 01:15:57,547 --> 01:15:59,667 Speaker 39: while so it's a bit of a test here for Josement. 1637 01:15:59,707 --> 01:16:03,547 Speaker 39: They've been up for those three lines tour matches and 1638 01:16:03,587 --> 01:16:07,467 Speaker 39: then over to South Africa back here now wait and see. 1639 01:16:07,507 --> 01:16:10,707 Speaker 39: But I'll be really really encouraged if we put our 1640 01:16:10,747 --> 01:16:12,747 Speaker 39: to tendas of the Sword, and that'll make me think 1641 01:16:12,787 --> 01:16:14,907 Speaker 39: that really good things are ahead in the next couple 1642 01:16:14,907 --> 01:16:15,307 Speaker 39: of years. 1643 01:16:15,347 --> 01:16:16,947 Speaker 3: Absolutely right. Let's go to football. 1644 01:16:17,027 --> 01:16:18,987 Speaker 4: The SOCCA Rus getting home with a late goal from 1645 01:16:19,067 --> 01:16:22,187 Speaker 4: Debatt Max Bella last night against will watching Canberra, what 1646 01:16:22,227 --> 01:16:23,427 Speaker 4: did you make of the game? 1647 01:16:24,987 --> 01:16:27,827 Speaker 39: You guys wore better for the most part, and then 1648 01:16:28,107 --> 01:16:30,627 Speaker 39: we put our subs on It changed the game, just 1649 01:16:30,987 --> 01:16:34,307 Speaker 39: the energy straight away, especially from Nesra Ra and Kunda. 1650 01:16:34,427 --> 01:16:39,107 Speaker 39: So yeah, Tainy Pop has got some choices to make 1651 01:16:39,867 --> 01:16:42,467 Speaker 39: when he collates this squad in the next couple of 1652 01:16:42,467 --> 01:16:45,947 Speaker 39: occasions about where he fits in the impact players or 1653 01:16:45,947 --> 01:16:48,027 Speaker 39: do the impact players have the impact from the start. 1654 01:16:48,187 --> 01:16:52,107 Speaker 39: So I think New Zealand controlled the game. We weren't 1655 01:16:52,187 --> 01:16:54,787 Speaker 39: very good, as I mentioned, especially in that first half, 1656 01:16:54,787 --> 01:16:57,867 Speaker 39: but yeah the twos, a couple of good, really good 1657 01:16:57,867 --> 01:17:00,667 Speaker 39: saves from Paul Izzo pretty much kept us in it, 1658 01:17:00,707 --> 01:17:02,747 Speaker 39: and then we came up with something good in the 1659 01:17:02,787 --> 01:17:07,027 Speaker 39: last minutes. So frustration for the kiwis happiness for the 1660 01:17:07,067 --> 01:17:09,667 Speaker 39: soccer US, But I don't think there's much between those 1661 01:17:09,667 --> 01:17:10,187 Speaker 39: two sides. 1662 01:17:10,347 --> 01:17:12,307 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, we were really encouraged over the site and 1663 01:17:12,587 --> 01:17:15,147 Speaker 4: you bang on on the hour mark when Chris Wooden 1664 01:17:15,547 --> 01:17:18,307 Speaker 4: and the returning Ryan Thomas departed, it seemed to be 1665 01:17:18,307 --> 01:17:20,107 Speaker 4: a bit of a sea change. And you mentioned Aaron 1666 01:17:20,147 --> 01:17:22,307 Speaker 4: Kunda Thorpe Motre when he came on as well, out 1667 01:17:22,307 --> 01:17:24,707 Speaker 4: of real limitus front for the soccer US. So you 1668 01:17:24,867 --> 01:17:27,587 Speaker 4: we're looking for looking forward to game two back here 1669 01:17:27,587 --> 01:17:30,947 Speaker 4: in New Zealand on Tuesday, let's go to the NRL. 1670 01:17:31,027 --> 01:17:34,107 Speaker 4: The top eight has all but been confirmed. It looks like, 1671 01:17:34,587 --> 01:17:39,147 Speaker 4: barring spectacular run of results across the weekend, the qualifying 1672 01:17:39,187 --> 01:17:43,187 Speaker 4: finals will be Raiders, Broncos, Storm, Bulldogs. We've got the 1673 01:17:43,187 --> 01:17:46,067 Speaker 4: best four teams there, haven't we. 1674 01:17:46,067 --> 01:17:48,427 Speaker 19: Well, yeah, I think Penris. 1675 01:17:48,787 --> 01:17:50,387 Speaker 39: You just don't know what Penis are going to come 1676 01:17:50,427 --> 01:17:52,307 Speaker 39: up with. And then you've got the wildcard, the Roosters 1677 01:17:52,347 --> 01:17:54,427 Speaker 39: who have got in this run in the last few weeks. 1678 01:17:54,427 --> 01:18:00,347 Speaker 39: So I'm not convinced that the top four contains the 1679 01:18:00,347 --> 01:18:02,067 Speaker 39: two Grand finalists, if you know what I mean. Ye 1680 01:18:02,387 --> 01:18:07,067 Speaker 39: Yet so it looks like provided the Penrith take care 1681 01:18:07,067 --> 01:18:10,867 Speaker 39: of business today against Saint George La Wire, that you 1682 01:18:10,907 --> 01:18:12,547 Speaker 39: guys will be facing Penrith first up. 1683 01:18:12,547 --> 01:18:15,027 Speaker 3: Oh that'll be great. Yeah, look we're looking forward to that. 1684 01:18:15,227 --> 01:18:18,387 Speaker 39: Yeah, I've got to draw for the Wires, especially after 1685 01:18:18,467 --> 01:18:21,587 Speaker 39: last night they were they weren't good against Manley unfortunately 1686 01:18:21,947 --> 01:18:26,267 Speaker 39: in that game at Paul Pins Park. But now, ironically enough, 1687 01:18:26,307 --> 01:18:29,467 Speaker 39: that's where Penrith season kind of flipped on its head 1688 01:18:30,067 --> 01:18:33,587 Speaker 39: when after Origin they took over a bunch of you know, 1689 01:18:33,707 --> 01:18:35,427 Speaker 39: New South Wild's Cup players. They didn't have their five 1690 01:18:35,507 --> 01:18:38,027 Speaker 39: best players out of Origin and they they did a 1691 01:18:38,107 --> 01:18:42,507 Speaker 39: job on you guys. That's in awful there. So yeah, 1692 01:18:43,227 --> 01:18:45,947 Speaker 39: up in the air. But Penrith and Roosters, I reckon 1693 01:18:45,947 --> 01:18:47,747 Speaker 39: they are as good a chance as the top four 1694 01:18:47,787 --> 01:18:49,107 Speaker 39: of doing something special. 1695 01:18:49,227 --> 01:18:51,667 Speaker 4: Yeah, which is a worry for us and also for 1696 01:18:51,747 --> 01:18:54,627 Speaker 4: the Sharks, who will probably i'd say, come up against 1697 01:18:54,627 --> 01:18:57,067 Speaker 4: the Roosters next week. You're being on Adam the you know, 1698 01:18:57,187 --> 01:18:59,987 Speaker 4: teams seven and eight might go into the into the 1699 01:19:00,027 --> 01:19:03,787 Speaker 4: elimination finals as favorites. Oddly enough, even though they're away 1700 01:19:03,827 --> 01:19:06,227 Speaker 4: from home and finished further down the ladder. It's a 1701 01:19:06,547 --> 01:19:07,827 Speaker 4: old game and a tight comp isn't it. 1702 01:19:08,827 --> 01:19:11,507 Speaker 39: Yeah. The food side is that they've got to roll 1703 01:19:11,507 --> 01:19:13,227 Speaker 39: the dice three times to make sure that they come 1704 01:19:13,267 --> 01:19:17,067 Speaker 39: up with the right number, so there's no wiggle room 1705 01:19:17,107 --> 01:19:20,347 Speaker 39: for error. A bad thirty minutes of footy in their 1706 01:19:20,387 --> 01:19:24,827 Speaker 39: season's over, So yeah, I just trust that Penrith don't 1707 01:19:24,827 --> 01:19:27,187 Speaker 39: have that bad thirty minutes, isn't them. They might have 1708 01:19:27,267 --> 01:19:29,307 Speaker 39: a like a like an up and down ten minutes 1709 01:19:29,387 --> 01:19:31,147 Speaker 39: or fifteen minutes, but they're that good and what they've 1710 01:19:31,187 --> 01:19:34,307 Speaker 39: provided that everyone is going to be wary of them 1711 01:19:34,507 --> 01:19:35,187 Speaker 39: come next week. 1712 01:19:35,507 --> 01:19:38,107 Speaker 4: Indeed, we're getting towards the business end as always. Mate, 1713 01:19:38,147 --> 01:19:40,507 Speaker 4: Thanks for your time across New Zealand, enjoy the rest 1714 01:19:40,507 --> 01:19:42,347 Speaker 4: of your weekend and we'll watch it again next Saturday. 1715 01:19:42,507 --> 01:19:44,267 Speaker 39: You too, Thanks Bunny, No, thank. 1716 01:19:44,067 --> 01:19:44,987 Speaker 3: You, Adam Adam Peacock. 1717 01:19:45,027 --> 01:19:47,187 Speaker 4: They're out of Australia and his regular slot nine away 1718 01:19:47,187 --> 01:19:49,107 Speaker 4: from two.

Remember we've peaked between Rugby World Cups 1723 01:20:00,267 --> 01:20:01,347 Speaker 4: too often in the past. 1724 01:20:01,827 --> 01:20:02,667 Speaker 3: On your questions. 1725 01:20:02,747 --> 01:20:05,827 Speaker 4: Yes, I would take a drawer right now, but if 1726 01:20:05,867 --> 01:20:08,187 Speaker 4: we're head to win it at the end, I'd kick 1727 01:20:08,227 --> 01:20:11,667 Speaker 4: for touch and go for the wind.

So look, it's a bittersweet, but we've 1824 01:24:41,187 --> 01:24:43,547 Speaker 40: got to focus in and do the business in the 1825 01:24:43,587 --> 01:24:45,947 Speaker 40: second league to win their overall ashes. 1826 01:24:47,067 --> 01:24:50,147 Speaker 4: How do you balance the disappointment of losing the game 1827 01:24:50,227 --> 01:24:53,947 Speaker 4: with being encouraged by the way you played and controlled 1828 01:24:53,947 --> 01:24:55,107 Speaker 4: the game for long periods. 1829 01:24:55,147 --> 01:24:56,827 Speaker 3: Can you strike that balance? 1830 01:24:58,627 --> 01:25:01,707 Speaker 40: Yeah, it's a tough one to strike because you are 1831 01:25:01,707 --> 01:25:05,147 Speaker 40: disappointed that you can see on a sucker punch with 1832 01:25:05,747 --> 01:25:08,667 Speaker 40: really there any chance of the game when we had 1833 01:25:09,267 --> 01:25:11,827 Speaker 40: chances to put the game to bed. I mean, there's 1834 01:25:11,867 --> 01:25:13,987 Speaker 40: no illusion getting away from if I stick one of 1835 01:25:13,987 --> 01:25:16,467 Speaker 40: my chances away, that game turns out differently and we 1836 01:25:16,507 --> 01:25:19,867 Speaker 40: win that game in my eyes for sure, But we've 1837 01:25:19,867 --> 01:25:23,787 Speaker 40: got to take positive of we're creating those chances and 1838 01:25:23,867 --> 01:25:25,907 Speaker 40: on another day, we'll stick them away and we'll be 1839 01:25:25,947 --> 01:25:26,987 Speaker 40: running away with that games. 1840 01:25:27,947 --> 01:25:30,747 Speaker 4: What are the main things you can take from game 1841 01:25:30,787 --> 01:25:33,867 Speaker 4: one into game two on Tuesday night and often the 1842 01:25:33,987 --> 01:25:35,027 Speaker 4: things to really build on. 1843 01:25:36,747 --> 01:25:39,107 Speaker 40: Well, I think that the domination that we showed on 1844 01:25:39,147 --> 01:25:44,747 Speaker 40: the ball, nullifying their strengths and nullifying their going forward 1845 01:25:44,787 --> 01:25:47,987 Speaker 40: and creating chances. And then the best thing for us 1846 01:25:48,067 --> 01:25:51,787 Speaker 40: is we actually created chances, which is something we've planned 1847 01:25:51,787 --> 01:25:54,107 Speaker 40: to try and improve on and do better going into 1848 01:25:54,147 --> 01:25:56,547 Speaker 40: big games like against these top teams in the world. 1849 01:25:57,227 --> 01:25:58,627 Speaker 10: So we've got to take the positives of that. 1850 01:26:00,027 --> 01:26:03,187 Speaker 4: You were off one on one with Paul Azzo in 1851 01:26:03,227 --> 01:26:05,427 Speaker 4: the first half. Just take us through your mindset. Is 1852 01:26:05,427 --> 01:26:07,507 Speaker 4: that passage of I played out? 1853 01:26:09,107 --> 01:26:09,267 Speaker 22: Look? 1854 01:26:09,347 --> 01:26:10,907 Speaker 40: Yeah, I mean it was one of those when I 1855 01:26:10,947 --> 01:26:14,627 Speaker 40: went through I decided to take it early and watching 1856 01:26:14,667 --> 01:26:17,467 Speaker 40: the back he's actually made a very good say. Of course, 1857 01:26:17,507 --> 01:26:20,027 Speaker 40: I'm more disappointed I should score. I should do better 1858 01:26:20,067 --> 01:26:22,827 Speaker 40: in those situations as the person I am, the striker 1859 01:26:22,867 --> 01:26:26,387 Speaker 40: I am, and as I said before, under no illusions, 1860 01:26:26,387 --> 01:26:27,987 Speaker 40: if I scored that we go on to win the 1861 01:26:28,027 --> 01:26:29,707 Speaker 40: game because we're that dominant. 1862 01:26:30,787 --> 01:26:33,347 Speaker 4: How good is it having Ryan Thomas back in the 1863 01:26:33,427 --> 01:26:35,547 Speaker 4: national side for the first time in six years. 1864 01:26:36,947 --> 01:26:40,067 Speaker 10: Look here, it's fantastic. We know the quality brings. Obviously, 1865 01:26:40,107 --> 01:26:40,547 Speaker 10: he's been in. 1866 01:26:40,467 --> 01:26:43,507 Speaker 40: Europe for a long period of time now and thankfully 1867 01:26:43,587 --> 01:26:47,027 Speaker 40: he's injury free and doing extremely well for his club. 1868 01:26:47,147 --> 01:26:48,867 Speaker 10: So it's brilliant to have him in the setup. 1869 01:26:49,187 --> 01:26:51,427 Speaker 40: I think we could see last night the quality brought 1870 01:26:51,627 --> 01:26:54,387 Speaker 40: and hopefully we can back it up again for him 1871 01:26:54,427 --> 01:26:56,987 Speaker 40: and the team come Tuesday. 1872 01:26:56,787 --> 01:26:59,347 Speaker 4: And we saw you Chris come off after an hour 1873 01:26:59,467 --> 01:27:02,227 Speaker 4: or so. Was that always the plan that your minutes 1874 01:27:02,267 --> 01:27:03,467 Speaker 4: would be managed in that way? 1875 01:27:04,987 --> 01:27:07,547 Speaker 40: Look, yeah, it's one of those I've got a long season, 1876 01:27:07,587 --> 01:27:11,347 Speaker 40: we've got European campaign, lots of internationals, we're going to 1877 01:27:11,387 --> 01:27:13,987 Speaker 40: be playing over fifty five to sixty games this season 1878 01:27:14,027 --> 01:27:17,667 Speaker 40: as a club and country. It's one of those things. 1879 01:27:18,067 --> 01:27:20,307 Speaker 40: Minutes have to be managed and they will be managed 1880 01:27:20,307 --> 01:27:22,227 Speaker 40: at club as well level and things like that. So 1881 01:27:22,267 --> 01:27:26,587 Speaker 40: it's just normal in these circumstances. But as we saw 1882 01:27:26,667 --> 01:27:30,427 Speaker 40: back in the qualifiers that we're ready to play full 1883 01:27:30,467 --> 01:27:31,867 Speaker 40: games if needed and things like that. 1884 01:27:32,027 --> 01:27:33,707 Speaker 10: So it's just one of those things. 1885 01:27:34,107 --> 01:27:37,947 Speaker 4: So without really knowing for sure until your touchdown, would 1886 01:27:37,947 --> 01:27:39,867 Speaker 4: you be good for ninety on Tuesday or is it 1887 01:27:39,947 --> 01:27:42,147 Speaker 4: likely to be another hour or so in the second 1888 01:27:42,147 --> 01:27:44,027 Speaker 4: game as well. 1889 01:27:44,427 --> 01:27:46,467 Speaker 40: It's just waiting to see how the body turns around. 1890 01:27:47,107 --> 01:27:50,147 Speaker 40: Two games in quick succession is what we're going to 1891 01:27:50,187 --> 01:27:52,427 Speaker 40: have to look at for the whole team, and we, 1892 01:27:52,627 --> 01:27:55,347 Speaker 40: and well not we, the manager will make the judgment 1893 01:27:55,387 --> 01:27:58,467 Speaker 40: calls on those. So it's one of those things where 1894 01:27:58,507 --> 01:28:00,747 Speaker 40: I'm ready to start the game as I feel. 1895 01:28:00,787 --> 01:28:01,027 Speaker 35: Now. 1896 01:28:01,347 --> 01:28:03,307 Speaker 40: Body will tell me in the next forty eight hours 1897 01:28:03,347 --> 01:28:05,387 Speaker 40: how it's feeling and where it's ready to go. 1898 01:28:06,507 --> 01:28:09,587 Speaker 4: Can you since within the squad now are heightened energy 1899 01:28:09,747 --> 01:28:14,187 Speaker 4: with World Cup qualification, secure players looking to put their 1900 01:28:14,227 --> 01:28:16,587 Speaker 4: best foot forward to be on that plane next year. 1901 01:28:18,267 --> 01:28:20,987 Speaker 40: Yeah, well, and truly, I think it's a very positive 1902 01:28:20,987 --> 01:28:24,267 Speaker 40: and exciting time. As you say, we're all fighting for 1903 01:28:24,347 --> 01:28:26,347 Speaker 40: positions now, we're all fighting to be on that plane 1904 01:28:26,387 --> 01:28:29,267 Speaker 40: over there. We've got a great squad of thirty five 1905 01:28:29,387 --> 01:28:32,667 Speaker 40: forty players to choose from these days, and everybody wants 1906 01:28:32,707 --> 01:28:35,587 Speaker 40: to be on that plane over there. So yeah, the 1907 01:28:35,627 --> 01:28:37,507 Speaker 40: people that are playing in the moment have got the 1908 01:28:37,587 --> 01:28:41,507 Speaker 40: chance to really put their foot forward and stamp their 1909 01:28:41,667 --> 01:28:45,507 Speaker 40: plane ticket over to the US Mexico in Canada. 1910 01:28:45,907 --> 01:28:47,347 Speaker 10: But it's very exciting. 1911 01:28:47,427 --> 01:28:50,307 Speaker 4: Indeed, there's just a couple of questions on your Premier 1912 01:28:50,387 --> 01:28:52,907 Speaker 4: League season win loss and a draw to start, how 1913 01:28:52,907 --> 01:28:56,627 Speaker 4: do you evaluate Nottingham Forest's ability to match or even 1914 01:28:56,707 --> 01:28:59,427 Speaker 4: better last season's finish. 1915 01:28:59,467 --> 01:29:01,107 Speaker 10: Look, I think we're in a very strong position. 1916 01:29:02,027 --> 01:29:04,707 Speaker 40: We've been able to really go for it in the 1917 01:29:04,707 --> 01:29:07,707 Speaker 40: transfer window, brought in some quality, some depth and to 1918 01:29:07,747 --> 01:29:10,627 Speaker 40: the squad to make it look like a better squad 1919 01:29:10,627 --> 01:29:12,787 Speaker 40: than we have last year, which is fantastic to see. 1920 01:29:12,827 --> 01:29:16,187 Speaker 40: And that's the positives that we've got. And who knows, 1921 01:29:16,227 --> 01:29:18,267 Speaker 40: I think, well, the squad we've got, we're more than 1922 01:29:18,307 --> 01:29:21,267 Speaker 40: capable of finishing where we did last year and competing 1923 01:29:21,267 --> 01:29:21,707 Speaker 40: in Europe. 1924 01:29:22,467 --> 01:29:24,587 Speaker 4: Yeah, and just on those European nights you'll be playing 1925 01:29:24,667 --> 01:29:28,387 Speaker 4: Europa League.

It's been away for a long 1931 01:29:42,867 --> 01:29:45,147 Speaker 40: period of time, but there's something special. So now we 1932 01:29:45,187 --> 01:29:47,507 Speaker 40: get to finally feel it and see it. What it's 1933 01:29:47,547 --> 01:29:49,787 Speaker 40: going to be like when we play that first home game. 1934 01:29:50,387 --> 01:29:52,947 Speaker 40: But yeah, we've got some great games coming up, winnable 1935 01:29:52,987 --> 01:29:55,107 Speaker 40: games for sure, and hopefully we can go far in 1936 01:29:55,107 --> 01:29:55,667 Speaker 40: the competition. 1937 01:29:56,307 --> 01:29:59,027 Speaker 4: And just to finish, you originally honored with inclusion in 1938 01:29:59,067 --> 01:30:01,867 Speaker 4: the PFA Premier League Team of the Season for your 1939 01:30:01,867 --> 01:30:04,747 Speaker 4: exploits last season. How big a moment was that for you, 1940 01:30:04,867 --> 01:30:06,827 Speaker 4: Chris in terms of your football career. 1941 01:30:08,387 --> 01:30:11,067 Speaker 40: Look here, it was huge and I didn't really realize 1942 01:30:11,067 --> 01:30:14,267 Speaker 40: it until I was actually there and around the people. 1943 01:30:14,267 --> 01:30:16,747 Speaker 40: They were on stage at the same time. So it's 1944 01:30:16,787 --> 01:30:20,427 Speaker 40: something that I'm very honored with and something that's going 1945 01:30:20,467 --> 01:30:23,467 Speaker 40: to live long in my lifetime. And look, it's maybe 1946 01:30:23,547 --> 01:30:26,827 Speaker 40: more hungry and ready to hopefully put my best foot 1947 01:30:26,827 --> 01:30:28,947 Speaker 40: forward to go again next season to be in that 1948 01:30:28,987 --> 01:30:29,867 Speaker 40: Team of the year again. 1949 01:30:30,947 --> 01:30:32,387 Speaker 3: Good man, Chris, Thanks for chatting mate. 1950 01:30:32,387 --> 01:30:34,387 Speaker 4: I hope the background noise here wasn't too distracting for 1951 01:30:34,467 --> 01:30:37,187 Speaker 4: your safe travels made and all the best on Tuesday. 1952 01:30:36,867 --> 01:30:40,387 Speaker 3: Night, prom chets pony take care you take care too, mate, 1953 01:30:40,387 --> 01:30:43,387 Speaker 3: Thanks to day Chris Wood joining us out of Canberra. There. 1954 01:30:43,587 --> 01:30:46,347 Speaker 4: They were good last night, the All Whites really really 1955 01:30:46,387 --> 01:30:51,387 Speaker 4: good and as good as I've seen actually from our 1956 01:30:51,467 --> 01:30:57,467 Speaker 4: national men's team against a quality opposition like Australia. New 1957 01:30:57,547 --> 01:31:00,427 Speaker 4: zeal em bossed that game for an hour of it 1958 01:31:00,627 --> 01:31:04,227 Speaker 4: and actually, funnily enough, I'm not sure that's the right phrase, but. 1959 01:31:04,147 --> 01:31:06,227 Speaker 3: It was when Chris Wood was withdrawn from. 1960 01:31:06,107 --> 01:31:09,587 Speaker 4: The game after sixty minutes along with Ryan Thomas, that 1961 01:31:09,667 --> 01:31:13,347 Speaker 4: it felt as though the ascendancy was almost back with Australia. 1962 01:31:13,387 --> 01:31:16,387 Speaker 4: But I was just so encouraged by what I saw 1963 01:31:16,427 --> 01:31:17,707 Speaker 4: from the All Whites last night. 1964 01:31:18,227 --> 01:31:18,947 Speaker 3: Ryan Thomas. 1965 01:31:18,987 --> 01:31:21,827 Speaker 4: Man, how we have missed that player, How we have 1966 01:31:21,907 --> 01:31:25,307 Speaker 4: missed his influence around the team. He's had a horrendous 1967 01:31:25,387 --> 01:31:29,467 Speaker 4: run of injuries, Ryan Thomas, but finally, now, finally we're 1968 01:31:29,467 --> 01:31:31,987 Speaker 4: going to hopefully get the chance to see him in 1969 01:31:32,067 --> 01:31:34,707 Speaker 4: an All White shirt. He was on, as I say, 1970 01:31:34,707 --> 01:31:36,947 Speaker 4: for an hour last night and just looked every inst 1971 01:31:36,987 --> 01:31:39,587 Speaker 4: the player that we all hoped he would be off 1972 01:31:39,627 --> 01:31:41,467 Speaker 4: the back of these injuries that he has suffered. So 1973 01:31:41,507 --> 01:31:44,547 Speaker 4: to have Ryan Thomas back in the national set up 1974 01:31:44,547 --> 01:31:48,427 Speaker 4: as brilliant, Chris Wood leading the line, New Zealand relatively 1975 01:31:48,507 --> 01:31:51,787 Speaker 4: untroubled rarely until the goal went in the eighty seventh minute. 1976 01:31:51,947 --> 01:31:53,787 Speaker 3: There was a situation really that. 1977 01:31:55,947 --> 01:31:58,867 Speaker 4: It was a real sense of deflation because often in 1978 01:31:58,907 --> 01:32:02,267 Speaker 4: the past New Zealand's sides would have been happy just 1979 01:32:02,307 --> 01:32:04,267 Speaker 4: to sort of compete with Australia. 1980 01:32:04,387 --> 01:32:06,747 Speaker 3: They dominated that game by every metric. 1981 01:32:06,787 --> 01:32:10,387 Speaker 4: They had more chances, they had more possession, they had 1982 01:32:10,947 --> 01:32:16,227 Speaker 4: better creativity. Every stat and every metric was in favor 1983 01:32:16,267 --> 01:32:19,347 Speaker 4: of New Zealand, apart from the one that matters the most, 1984 01:32:19,747 --> 01:32:21,107 Speaker 4: and that is the score line at the end of 1985 01:32:21,147 --> 01:32:24,187 Speaker 4: the day. So what happens now these two teams. I 1986 01:32:24,227 --> 01:32:26,747 Speaker 4: think they're actually sharing a charted flight. 1987 01:32:27,347 --> 01:32:30,587 Speaker 3: I heard to Auckland. 1988 01:32:30,707 --> 01:32:33,827 Speaker 4: They land late this evening and then on Tuesday night 1989 01:32:33,867 --> 01:32:37,347 Speaker 4: it is game two and what is the soccer Ashes series? 1990 01:32:37,947 --> 01:32:40,187 Speaker 4: And with the score at one nil to Australia, it 1991 01:32:40,267 --> 01:32:42,467 Speaker 4: is the aggregate score at the end of the two games. 1992 01:32:42,467 --> 01:32:45,027 Speaker 4: So if New Zealand can win by two, they'll get 1993 01:32:45,067 --> 01:32:48,027 Speaker 4: the soccer Ashes. If it's a one goal win for 1994 01:32:48,227 --> 01:32:50,507 Speaker 4: New Zealand on Tuesday night, then we'll go to a 1995 01:32:50,547 --> 01:32:54,187 Speaker 4: penalty shootout. So something a bit different there as well, 1996 01:32:53,707 --> 01:32:58,747 Speaker 4: as we take on Australia for a rare two game series. 1997 01:32:58,787 --> 01:33:02,307 Speaker 4: In recent times, news Talks that Be and Weekend Sport 1998 01:33:02,467 --> 01:33:06,507 Speaker 4: it is to seventeen We're alive at the Kingslander and 1999 01:33:06,587 --> 01:33:08,227 Speaker 4: it is really starting to fill up now. 2000 01:33:08,267 --> 01:33:10,347 Speaker 3: And I've seen that a couple of times, but every. 2001 01:33:10,227 --> 01:33:12,467 Speaker 4: Time I look up, it seems there are more South 2002 01:33:12,507 --> 01:33:15,467 Speaker 4: African jerseys, more All Blacks. 2003 01:33:15,187 --> 01:33:19,027 Speaker 3: Supporters, gear more celebrities.

I'm not quite sure why they 2119 01:39:31,707 --> 01:39:34,267 Speaker 4: were called the Scotsman stands. I guess it was some 2120 01:39:34,307 --> 01:39:37,787 Speaker 4: sort of connection to the fact that maybe our fine 2121 01:39:38,467 --> 01:39:40,707 Speaker 4: countrymen from Scotland don't like putting their hands in their 2122 01:39:40,707 --> 01:39:43,867 Speaker 4: pockets necessarily to buy a ticket.

Let's say Bartie 2162 01:41:30,827 --> 01:41:32,067 Speaker 3: has fun at eden Park tonight. 2163 01:41:32,187 --> 01:41:34,747 Speaker 4: Artie Savier will become the fifteenth man to bring up 2164 01:41:34,787 --> 01:41:36,827 Speaker 4: one hundred Test matches for the All Blacks will be 2165 01:41:36,907 --> 01:41:40,027 Speaker 4: the fourth loose forward to reach that mark Richie McCourt 2166 01:41:40,227 --> 01:41:42,307 Speaker 4: one hundred and forty eight, Karen Reid one hundred and 2167 01:41:42,347 --> 01:41:45,587 Speaker 4: twenty seven and Sam Kine one hundred and four Test matches. 2168 01:41:46,107 --> 01:41:49,827 Speaker 4: Artie Savia is also the highest try scoring forward in 2169 01:41:49,947 --> 01:41:53,467 Speaker 4: All Blacks Test history with thirty. He debuted in June 2170 01:41:53,507 --> 01:41:56,067 Speaker 4: of twenty sixteen, coming off the bench in a thirty 2171 01:41:56,147 --> 01:41:59,947 Speaker 4: nine twenty one win over Wales at Eden Park. Chris 2172 01:42:00,067 --> 01:42:04,427 Speaker 4: Boyd gave Artie Savier his Wellington debut in twenty twelve 2173 01:42:04,547 --> 01:42:07,627 Speaker 4: and coached him there until twenty fourth and then coached 2174 01:42:07,707 --> 01:42:11,427 Speaker 4: him as head coach of the Hurricanes between twenty fifteen 2175 01:42:11,867 --> 01:42:12,787 Speaker 4: and twenty eighteen. 2176 01:42:12,867 --> 01:42:15,587 Speaker 3: Chris bord is with us on weekends. For Chris, when 2177 01:42:15,627 --> 01:42:16,747 Speaker 3: did you first become. 2178 01:42:16,587 --> 01:42:20,547 Speaker 4: Aware of Artie Savia around the Wellington club scene? 2179 01:42:21,987 --> 01:42:28,667 Speaker 18: I think he was about seven and he was already 2180 01:42:28,747 --> 01:42:30,827 Speaker 18: standing out. And I think he was seven years old 2181 01:42:30,907 --> 01:42:34,987 Speaker 18: playing in an under thirteen competition and he already stood out. Say, 2182 01:42:35,027 --> 01:42:40,547 Speaker 18: you know, some some players, you know, have to work hard. 2183 01:42:40,747 --> 01:42:42,947 Speaker 18: I'm not saying he doesn't work hard, because it's one 2184 01:42:42,987 --> 01:42:44,947 Speaker 18: of us hoemotes. He is a hard worker, but you 2185 01:42:45,027 --> 01:42:51,907 Speaker 18: know he he had physical and mental prows as a 2186 01:42:52,067 --> 01:42:54,627 Speaker 18: very young man. Particularly you know, I remember at Wrongtai 2187 01:42:54,707 --> 01:42:57,987 Speaker 18: College seeing him and thinking, you know, you look at 2188 01:42:57,987 --> 01:43:00,267 Speaker 18: a kid and you think, well, I think he's good 2189 01:43:00,347 --> 01:43:02,347 Speaker 18: enough to be an all back. But if you you 2190 01:43:02,627 --> 01:43:05,827 Speaker 18: say those things publicly and people think you're getting carried away. 2191 01:43:05,867 --> 01:43:07,627 Speaker 18: But he certainly stood out as. 2192 01:43:07,467 --> 01:43:09,907 Speaker 4: A very young man when he first came into the 2193 01:43:09,987 --> 01:43:13,587 Speaker 4: representative environment with Wellington and then on towards the Hurricanes. 2194 01:43:14,187 --> 01:43:16,587 Speaker 4: Where did you see him grow during that time as 2195 01:43:16,627 --> 01:43:18,867 Speaker 4: he became a professional rugby player. 2196 01:43:20,827 --> 01:43:23,267 Speaker 18: Think I think the interesting thing that the year before 2197 01:43:23,307 --> 01:43:25,067 Speaker 18: when he was it Wrongtai. You know, he was in 2198 01:43:25,187 --> 01:43:28,747 Speaker 18: a New Zealand schools team that, funny enough had I 2199 01:43:28,827 --> 01:43:32,467 Speaker 18: think Patrick Turpolotto was in it, Roger Turvashischek was in it, 2200 01:43:33,707 --> 01:43:35,427 Speaker 18: Nami la Marki was on that side. But he was 2201 01:43:35,467 --> 01:43:38,387 Speaker 18: a golden boot in that period of time, so you know, 2202 01:43:38,747 --> 01:43:42,707 Speaker 18: he already stood out. But he's the thing that I 2203 01:43:42,787 --> 01:43:46,667 Speaker 18: admired him the most for in a lot of ways. 2204 01:43:46,707 --> 01:43:48,227 Speaker 18: And it was a bit of a struggle for him 2205 01:43:48,267 --> 01:43:53,067 Speaker 18: as well as he climbed the ranks from you NPC 2206 01:43:53,267 --> 01:43:57,347 Speaker 18: to Super Rugby to all Blacks. There was always there 2207 01:43:57,427 --> 01:44:00,507 Speaker 18: was always pressure on him to get heavier, to be bigger, 2208 01:44:01,467 --> 01:44:04,587 Speaker 18: and I did feel particularly sorry for him. He was 2209 01:44:04,987 --> 01:44:07,747 Speaker 18: you know, he got to a point where he didn't 2210 01:44:07,867 --> 01:44:12,707 Speaker 18: actually really enjoy eating because it was not something that 2211 01:44:12,827 --> 01:44:14,667 Speaker 18: was pleasurable. It's something that he had to do to 2212 01:44:14,747 --> 01:44:17,707 Speaker 18: try and get his weight up. And he was always 2213 01:44:17,827 --> 01:44:22,227 Speaker 18: fairly bloody minded about it. Is that, yes, he knew 2214 01:44:22,227 --> 01:44:24,667 Speaker 18: he could do with a few extra kegs, but he 2215 01:44:24,947 --> 01:44:27,587 Speaker 18: just worked incredibly hard at the things that he was 2216 01:44:27,627 --> 01:44:30,067 Speaker 18: really good at and you know it's carried him a 2217 01:44:30,067 --> 01:44:30,427 Speaker 18: long way. 2218 01:44:30,987 --> 01:44:34,507 Speaker 4: Hindsight's always twenty twenty of course, Chris, but could you 2219 01:44:34,667 --> 01:44:37,107 Speaker 4: tell that he was not only going to be an 2220 01:44:37,147 --> 01:44:39,667 Speaker 4: All Black but a great All Black. 2221 01:44:41,907 --> 01:44:43,787 Speaker 18: I think he had the potential to be. And again, 2222 01:44:44,347 --> 01:44:46,747 Speaker 18: you know he was in the two thousand and thirteen 2223 01:44:48,067 --> 01:44:53,147 Speaker 18: on the twenty side in France, and Scott Barrett It's 2224 01:44:54,907 --> 01:44:59,067 Speaker 18: Patrick were both on that side. But in that side, 2225 01:44:59,427 --> 01:45:04,907 Speaker 18: Ardie was absolutely clearly the best player for New Zealand. 2226 01:45:05,267 --> 01:45:08,467 Speaker 18: It wasn't a terribly six pssful campaign, but he stood 2227 01:45:08,507 --> 01:45:13,027 Speaker 18: out completely and I always thought he had the potential 2228 01:45:15,667 --> 01:45:22,947 Speaker 18: to be great because Ardie marches to the beata his 2229 01:45:23,027 --> 01:45:26,547 Speaker 18: own drum. He's not conventional and is thinking, but he's 2230 01:45:26,707 --> 01:45:31,587 Speaker 18: very very committed to what he thinks is right and wrong. 2231 01:45:31,947 --> 01:45:38,187 Speaker 18: And he's a great team man. And you know he 2232 01:45:38,587 --> 01:45:40,787 Speaker 18: puts a lot of effort, a lot of effort into 2233 01:45:40,867 --> 01:45:43,267 Speaker 18: doing the best for a team. And so he was. 2234 01:45:43,547 --> 01:45:46,227 Speaker 18: He was a gifted athlete in some ways. Although on 2235 01:45:46,307 --> 01:45:48,227 Speaker 18: a Sunday morning when you saw him at recovery, he 2236 01:45:48,227 --> 01:45:50,427 Speaker 18: had you know, the way he hobbled around, you'd think, 2237 01:45:50,787 --> 01:45:55,987 Speaker 18: you know, he wasn't, but you know, he's physically capable. 2238 01:45:56,027 --> 01:46:00,187 Speaker 18: He's mentally very tough and very determined, very resilient and 2239 01:46:00,387 --> 01:46:03,467 Speaker 18: he's open minded and a learner, and so that combination is, 2240 01:46:04,387 --> 01:46:05,507 Speaker 18: you know, carries you a long way. 2241 01:46:05,547 --> 01:46:08,267 Speaker 4: And he's a good bloke in many ways. He's read 2242 01:46:08,347 --> 01:46:10,587 Speaker 4: to find the role of the all purpose lose forward 2243 01:46:10,587 --> 01:46:12,547 Speaker 4: as well. It doesn't really seem to matter which number 2244 01:46:12,587 --> 01:46:15,307 Speaker 4: he's wearing on his back. What did you ask of 2245 01:46:15,467 --> 01:46:17,347 Speaker 4: him when he was in your sides? 2246 01:46:20,467 --> 01:46:24,787 Speaker 18: I don't think like anybody really, all you can ask 2247 01:46:24,987 --> 01:46:27,467 Speaker 18: from people is to do their best and make sure 2248 01:46:27,507 --> 01:46:30,467 Speaker 18: they'd give you everything. And so that was pretty easy 2249 01:46:30,547 --> 01:46:35,067 Speaker 18: for Ardia. You know, he was probably being one of 2250 01:46:35,107 --> 01:46:38,027 Speaker 18: the most consistent performers. You know, he doesn't very often 2251 01:46:38,107 --> 01:46:41,907 Speaker 18: have a bad game. He's very capable of a great game, 2252 01:46:42,187 --> 01:46:44,827 Speaker 18: but he doesn't very often have a bad game either. 2253 01:46:44,947 --> 01:46:51,467 Speaker 18: So his consistency is really high, and that's based around 2254 01:46:52,347 --> 01:46:54,987 Speaker 18: mental and physical preparation, which he's very good at both. 2255 01:46:56,187 --> 01:47:03,507 Speaker 3: How deep is his influence on the players he plays alongside, I. 2256 01:47:03,547 --> 01:47:06,747 Speaker 18: Think it's well documented at Artie's not a huge talker 2257 01:47:08,387 --> 01:47:11,907 Speaker 18: in that respect, He's you know, he's not he's not 2258 01:47:12,027 --> 01:47:16,667 Speaker 18: an orator or a conventional leader in respect of he's 2259 01:47:16,707 --> 01:47:19,747 Speaker 18: a bit of a I'll do my talking on the 2260 01:47:19,787 --> 01:47:23,227 Speaker 18: field follow me. So he's got some fairly strong views 2261 01:47:23,267 --> 01:47:26,547 Speaker 18: about different things off the field, but on the field 2262 01:47:26,587 --> 01:47:30,987 Speaker 18: and in the rugby environment, you know, it's all about 2263 01:47:31,107 --> 01:47:33,027 Speaker 18: just working out what his role is, what he needs 2264 01:47:33,067 --> 01:47:35,867 Speaker 18: to do, preparing himself the best he can and delivering, 2265 01:47:37,867 --> 01:47:41,947 Speaker 18: you know, for you. So he is a great person 2266 01:47:41,987 --> 01:47:43,147 Speaker 18: to have in a team environment. 2267 01:47:44,067 --> 01:47:47,387 Speaker 3: Did the two of you ever disagree as player and coach? 2268 01:47:49,627 --> 01:47:53,547 Speaker 18: I don't remember ever having a disagreement with with Hardie. 2269 01:47:53,547 --> 01:47:59,827 Speaker 18: I think we were reasonably aligned. I just wanted him 2270 01:47:59,867 --> 01:48:01,867 Speaker 18: to go out and express himself and be the best 2271 01:48:01,907 --> 01:48:07,907 Speaker 18: he could be and if if, if that meant whatever 2272 01:48:07,987 --> 01:48:08,707 Speaker 18: it meant, it meant. 2273 01:48:08,747 --> 01:48:09,067 Speaker 10: And so. 2274 01:48:10,907 --> 01:48:13,307 Speaker 18: You didn't need to be hard on those boys around 2275 01:48:14,187 --> 01:48:18,187 Speaker 18: around around some of the decisions and mistakes, because invariably 2276 01:48:18,227 --> 01:48:20,947 Speaker 18: they were harder on themselves than probably I would have 2277 01:48:20,987 --> 01:48:24,787 Speaker 18: been anyway. So it's pretty easy to coach, very open minded, 2278 01:48:26,907 --> 01:48:30,147 Speaker 18: very keen to be the best it can be, and 2279 01:48:31,107 --> 01:48:32,827 Speaker 18: you know, gave themselves to the team. 2280 01:48:34,067 --> 01:48:37,067 Speaker 4: Yeah, special occasion for a special platonut he do you reckon? 2281 01:48:37,067 --> 01:48:38,547 Speaker 4: The All Blacks will go against however get. 2282 01:48:38,467 --> 01:48:43,147 Speaker 18: A night Well, clearly my hearts says the all Blacks. 2283 01:48:44,147 --> 01:48:50,387 Speaker 18: I think it's been very interesting that South Africa have 2284 01:48:50,747 --> 01:48:56,347 Speaker 18: picked Laruette fullback and Pilard at ten and they've been 2285 01:48:56,467 --> 01:49:02,787 Speaker 18: quite conservative around their forward selections and the respect of 2286 01:49:03,547 --> 01:49:07,187 Speaker 18: you know, they they're very good at the African type 2287 01:49:07,227 --> 01:49:10,827 Speaker 18: of role. So I think the interesting thing for South 2288 01:49:10,867 --> 01:49:14,187 Speaker 18: Africa and interesting for Tony Brown as well when he's 2289 01:49:15,547 --> 01:49:18,787 Speaker 18: if South Africa want to play a more expensive and 2290 01:49:19,627 --> 01:49:22,387 Speaker 18: a higher risk game, it's not in the nature of 2291 01:49:22,467 --> 01:49:25,667 Speaker 18: their culture. And I think by that selection, what we've 2292 01:49:25,707 --> 01:49:28,547 Speaker 18: seen here is that they're going to I'd be surprised 2293 01:49:28,547 --> 01:49:30,347 Speaker 18: if they don't go back to type. So they're going 2294 01:49:30,427 --> 01:49:36,987 Speaker 18: to go physicality, set piece, aerial game territory and try 2295 01:49:37,067 --> 01:49:40,627 Speaker 18: and try and go back to their to their DNA, 2296 01:49:40,747 --> 01:49:44,227 Speaker 18: which is their grind. That's what the selection tells me. 2297 01:49:45,267 --> 01:49:47,827 Speaker 18: Can we stand up to their grind? I think we 2298 01:49:48,027 --> 01:49:50,267 Speaker 18: probably can, but I think it's going to be close. 2299 01:49:50,827 --> 01:49:52,947 Speaker 4: All right, Chris, got to leave it there, mate, But 2300 01:49:53,067 --> 01:49:56,147 Speaker 4: thanks for your recollections, and I guess thank you for 2301 01:49:56,267 --> 01:49:58,587 Speaker 4: picking Ardie Savia, although who by the sounds of it, 2302 01:49:58,987 --> 01:50:01,507 Speaker 4: he was turning not just your head, but everybody's head 2303 01:50:02,147 --> 01:50:05,067 Speaker 4: around Wellington Rugby circles at the back end of the 2304 01:50:05,147 --> 01:50:09,187 Speaker 4: two thousands and into the Tens Wellington debut in twenty twelve, 2305 01:50:09,867 --> 01:50:12,027 Speaker 4: Hurricanes debut the following year, and then of course he 2306 01:50:12,107 --> 01:50:13,787 Speaker 4: went on that end of season two at the All 2307 01:50:13,827 --> 01:50:17,387 Speaker 4: Blacks as the very first apprentice All Black. That was 2308 01:50:17,587 --> 01:50:19,587 Speaker 4: a new innovation at the time where they would take 2309 01:50:19,627 --> 01:50:22,107 Speaker 4: a player like Ardie Savia just to get him into 2310 01:50:22,107 --> 01:50:23,987 Speaker 4: the environment, to show on what it might be like 2311 01:50:24,147 --> 01:50:28,267 Speaker 4: and maybe fire in him a desire to become a 2312 01:50:28,347 --> 01:50:30,667 Speaker 4: proper All Black. Well he did that and became an 2313 01:50:30,667 --> 01:50:35,187 Speaker 4: absolutely proper All Black in every single sense of the 2314 01:50:35,267 --> 01:50:39,827 Speaker 4: word when he made his debut against Wales off the 2315 01:50:39,907 --> 01:50:43,747 Speaker 4: bench in twenty sixteen at Eden Park and then went 2316 01:50:43,827 --> 01:50:46,027 Speaker 4: on to become one of our greats. Still is one 2317 01:50:46,067 --> 01:50:49,107 Speaker 4: of our greats, and tonight will become our fifteenth Test 2318 01:50:49,427 --> 01:50:53,147 Speaker 4: Centurion when he runs out on Eden Park in the 2319 01:50:53,507 --> 01:50:57,707 Speaker 4: number seven Jersey tonight for the All Blacks.

I hope they 2337 01:51:50,507 --> 01:51:53,947 Speaker 4: take into account the tactics of the South Africans, especially 2338 01:51:54,027 --> 01:51:56,947 Speaker 4: how they forced the headhigh collision with Sam Kane and 2339 01:51:57,027 --> 01:52:00,947 Speaker 4: caused them to be red carded.
