Some massive 71 00:04:06,787 --> 00:04:10,067 Speaker 5: efforts out there, and yeah, just small parts of the 72 00:04:10,067 --> 00:04:12,627 Speaker 5: game with us down in the in the second half 73 00:04:12,667 --> 00:04:15,507 Speaker 5: there around you know a little bits of pressure cycles 74 00:04:15,547 --> 00:04:18,507 Speaker 5: where we don't win moments and let them into our half. 75 00:04:18,667 --> 00:04:22,307 Speaker 5: So my massive effort from the voice. So the main 76 00:04:22,347 --> 00:04:23,627 Speaker 5: things is disappointed for them. 77 00:04:24,107 --> 00:04:26,067 Speaker 2: How much did the yellow card hurt you? 78 00:04:28,187 --> 00:04:29,147 Speaker 6: Yeah, obviously it did. 79 00:04:31,267 --> 00:04:33,507 Speaker 5: Obviously the yellow card came from a lot of pressure 80 00:04:33,547 --> 00:04:37,387 Speaker 5: that they've been able to apply in our end, So 81 00:04:37,467 --> 00:04:38,307 Speaker 5: that sort of took the play. 82 00:04:38,467 --> 00:04:39,947 Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely definitely took its toll. 83 00:04:39,987 --> 00:04:40,467 Speaker 7: Obviously. 84 00:04:41,547 --> 00:04:44,267 Speaker 6: You know they grew legged in and went to work up. 85 00:04:44,147 --> 00:04:47,067 Speaker 5: Front, and you know they were really solid in that 86 00:04:47,187 --> 00:04:48,467 Speaker 5: last ten twelve minutes. 87 00:04:49,067 --> 00:04:51,787 Speaker 2: And the stats say fourteen penalties to five. A lot 88 00:04:51,787 --> 00:04:54,467 Speaker 2: of those penalties from pressure. As you've mentioned, how big 89 00:04:54,467 --> 00:04:55,707 Speaker 2: a factor do you think that was? 90 00:04:57,547 --> 00:05:00,987 Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, obviously compounding penalties make it really tough, and 91 00:05:01,027 --> 00:05:04,067 Speaker 5: then then that results in the yellow and then you 92 00:05:04,387 --> 00:05:07,107 Speaker 5: got seven points and you know all sort of rolls 93 00:05:07,147 --> 00:05:10,627 Speaker 5: into one. But you know, little things we can do around. 94 00:05:11,347 --> 00:05:12,867 Speaker 5: You know, a couple of times we get down into 95 00:05:12,867 --> 00:05:15,667 Speaker 5: their end and a little simple things let let the 96 00:05:15,707 --> 00:05:18,027 Speaker 5: South Africans off the hock, or we could have maybe put. 97 00:05:17,907 --> 00:05:20,387 Speaker 6: Them away with fifteen minutes to go, we felt. 98 00:05:22,107 --> 00:05:22,947 Speaker 7: And then you know, not. 99 00:05:22,907 --> 00:05:24,907 Speaker 5: Being able to get out of their corner two or 100 00:05:24,947 --> 00:05:28,507 Speaker 5: three times as vital. So you know, those are the 101 00:05:28,507 --> 00:05:31,867 Speaker 5: little moments which which mean that the pressure just gets. 102 00:05:31,587 --> 00:05:35,027 Speaker 6: Too much for and ends up with yellow cards or penalties. 103 00:05:35,347 --> 00:05:37,867 Speaker 2: Did you feel in control when when Caleb Clark scored 104 00:05:37,907 --> 00:05:40,307 Speaker 2: a second try to make it twenty seven seventeen. Did 105 00:05:40,307 --> 00:05:42,027 Speaker 2: you feel in a pretty good place then? 106 00:05:44,547 --> 00:05:47,027 Speaker 5: Oh, look, you never feel in control at this park 107 00:05:47,067 --> 00:05:51,267 Speaker 5: when you're not at all, But definitely we felt like, 108 00:05:52,587 --> 00:05:54,667 Speaker 5: you know where, it was a real opportunity to sort 109 00:05:54,707 --> 00:05:55,827 Speaker 5: of turn the screw. 110 00:05:55,947 --> 00:05:57,067 Speaker 6: Get out of where in the end. 111 00:05:57,147 --> 00:05:59,347 Speaker 5: And then when we went down there, I think we're twelve, 112 00:05:59,987 --> 00:06:01,627 Speaker 5: We had a penalty and we kicked to the corner. 113 00:06:01,667 --> 00:06:04,867 Speaker 6: If we'd have scored there, maybe it might have felt comfortable. 114 00:06:04,907 --> 00:06:08,627 Speaker 5: But yeah, big moment where we don't we don't get 115 00:06:08,627 --> 00:06:11,787 Speaker 5: points and they camp on the other end and she's 116 00:06:11,827 --> 00:06:14,707 Speaker 5: not thirty four to what would have been you know 117 00:06:14,747 --> 00:06:18,107 Speaker 5: where we're We're not thirty four seventeen. We're now twenty 118 00:06:18,147 --> 00:06:21,827 Speaker 5: seven twenty four, So you know, massive swings and tight 119 00:06:21,907 --> 00:06:22,907 Speaker 5: moments in a Test match. 120 00:06:23,027 --> 00:06:25,027 Speaker 2: Yeah, you've talked a couple of times there about not 121 00:06:25,067 --> 00:06:26,987 Speaker 2: being able to get out from your own end. What's 122 00:06:27,027 --> 00:06:29,707 Speaker 2: the ideal strategy for that? Is it just better kicking? 123 00:06:31,787 --> 00:06:34,147 Speaker 5: Oh, look, we've got to there's a little bit of 124 00:06:34,187 --> 00:06:37,507 Speaker 5: strategy involved in it, and there's making sure that yeah, 125 00:06:37,547 --> 00:06:39,587 Speaker 5: we get some execution to get to a start point 126 00:06:39,627 --> 00:06:43,227 Speaker 5: we're happy with. So yeah, it'll be definitely something we 127 00:06:43,267 --> 00:06:46,507 Speaker 5: work really hard at to make sure that we don't 128 00:06:46,507 --> 00:06:49,467 Speaker 5: give this this South African Fords easy ins to our 129 00:06:49,507 --> 00:06:49,987 Speaker 5: twenty two. 130 00:06:50,307 --> 00:06:52,867 Speaker 2: Yeah, both sides kicked a lot tonight, Jase, how did 131 00:06:52,947 --> 00:06:55,467 Speaker 2: you assess the All Black skicking game tonight? 132 00:06:57,307 --> 00:06:59,027 Speaker 6: Yeah? Look, at times really good. 133 00:07:00,627 --> 00:07:02,667 Speaker 5: We were still going to be We still feel like 134 00:07:02,667 --> 00:07:04,627 Speaker 5: we've got to be a little bit braver and keep 135 00:07:04,667 --> 00:07:06,827 Speaker 5: the ball hand a little bit at times and and 136 00:07:06,907 --> 00:07:09,707 Speaker 5: get to get to edges a bit more. But yeah, 137 00:07:09,707 --> 00:07:11,107 Speaker 5: there was times in that first half I thought we 138 00:07:11,147 --> 00:07:13,667 Speaker 5: were really solid. We put pressure on with our kicking 139 00:07:13,707 --> 00:07:15,867 Speaker 5: game and mixed up our game and varied our game 140 00:07:15,907 --> 00:07:18,907 Speaker 5: pretty well. But as I say, when you play a 141 00:07:18,947 --> 00:07:21,347 Speaker 5: lot of your game and you in your own fifty, 142 00:07:22,267 --> 00:07:24,787 Speaker 5: you've got to find better ways to apply pressure at 143 00:07:24,827 --> 00:07:25,267 Speaker 5: the other end. 144 00:07:25,827 --> 00:07:27,587 Speaker 2: How pleased were you though, with the moves that led 145 00:07:27,627 --> 00:07:30,427 Speaker 2: to Caleb Clark's two tries, in particular that the catch 146 00:07:30,467 --> 00:07:32,547 Speaker 2: and pass that led to those two tries. 147 00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:36,147 Speaker 5: Yeah, like we wanted to. We wanted to, you know, 148 00:07:36,187 --> 00:07:37,947 Speaker 5: attack when we had the opportunities. I think the first 149 00:07:37,987 --> 00:07:40,347 Speaker 5: one came from a really good set of d with 150 00:07:40,467 --> 00:07:44,027 Speaker 5: a good tackling, a really good turnover attack, and then 151 00:07:44,267 --> 00:07:46,347 Speaker 5: you know it was good to get a set piece 152 00:07:46,387 --> 00:07:49,347 Speaker 5: try there from from something we'd planned during the week, 153 00:07:49,467 --> 00:07:53,427 Speaker 5: So that that's that's excellent, and you know the big 154 00:07:53,467 --> 00:07:56,787 Speaker 5: moments in games as well, but you know there was 155 00:07:56,787 --> 00:07:58,947 Speaker 5: a bit of a theme with score points and then 156 00:07:59,187 --> 00:08:00,787 Speaker 5: better to get out of our end, as I'd say. 157 00:08:00,867 --> 00:08:03,187 Speaker 6: So you can tell that's up most of my mind 158 00:08:03,187 --> 00:08:03,707 Speaker 6: at the moment. 159 00:08:03,947 --> 00:08:06,507 Speaker 2: It certainly can you know your referenced that I can'tule 160 00:08:06,547 --> 00:08:09,627 Speaker 2: of times so again without you know, I mean, it's 161 00:08:09,707 --> 00:08:13,547 Speaker 2: the game's only just finished. But what are the strategies 162 00:08:13,547 --> 00:08:15,107 Speaker 2: for that, Jase, what will you be looking at this 163 00:08:15,147 --> 00:08:16,707 Speaker 2: week as you head to Cape Town to try and 164 00:08:16,747 --> 00:08:17,747 Speaker 2: be better in that area? 165 00:08:19,347 --> 00:08:20,547 Speaker 6: I was the. 166 00:08:20,587 --> 00:08:23,067 Speaker 5: Key thing is how do we want to give South 167 00:08:23,067 --> 00:08:24,827 Speaker 5: Africa the ball and what parts of the field. 168 00:08:24,867 --> 00:08:26,547 Speaker 6: So obviously you don't want to give it to them 169 00:08:26,547 --> 00:08:27,867 Speaker 6: in the twenty two, but it's. 170 00:08:27,707 --> 00:08:31,347 Speaker 5: More you know, where are we where are really comfortable 171 00:08:31,347 --> 00:08:33,227 Speaker 5: to defend from if we're going to give position away. 172 00:08:33,267 --> 00:08:35,227 Speaker 6: So that's something that we'll be looking at really hard 173 00:08:35,867 --> 00:08:36,427 Speaker 6: during the week. 174 00:08:36,467 --> 00:08:38,147 Speaker 5: So I thought a lot of our a lot of 175 00:08:38,187 --> 00:08:42,947 Speaker 5: our defense was really good today, you know, so we'll 176 00:08:43,027 --> 00:08:46,587 Speaker 5: just get really tight around around how, how and where 177 00:08:46,627 --> 00:08:48,387 Speaker 5: we give the South Aificans the ball to stop their 178 00:08:48,427 --> 00:08:50,227 Speaker 5: forwards getting that role on that they got on the 179 00:08:50,867 --> 00:08:51,787 Speaker 5: last fifteen minutes. 180 00:08:52,107 --> 00:08:54,107 Speaker 2: A lot to be made of their bench impact as well. 181 00:08:54,147 --> 00:08:55,227 Speaker 2: Did you think that was a factor. 182 00:08:58,307 --> 00:09:00,307 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I thought that they all come on on 183 00:09:00,387 --> 00:09:01,067 Speaker 6: pretty early than now. 184 00:09:01,107 --> 00:09:02,507 Speaker 5: I think it was forty three minutes. The old bomb 185 00:09:02,507 --> 00:09:05,667 Speaker 5: squad came on, and I think we dealt with that 186 00:09:05,707 --> 00:09:07,787 Speaker 5: pretty well. I think we were we were ten points 187 00:09:07,867 --> 00:09:09,747 Speaker 5: up with Court of Never Go, so we dealt with 188 00:09:09,787 --> 00:09:10,347 Speaker 5: that pretty well. 189 00:09:10,387 --> 00:09:11,627 Speaker 6: And how guys. 190 00:09:11,387 --> 00:09:13,787 Speaker 5: Had come on, so I didn't didn't think that was 191 00:09:13,827 --> 00:09:16,347 Speaker 5: a major I didn't didn't feel like they made a 192 00:09:16,427 --> 00:09:17,067 Speaker 5: major impact. 193 00:09:17,507 --> 00:09:19,227 Speaker 2: Did you think the first South African try was a 194 00:09:19,307 --> 00:09:19,627 Speaker 2: knock on? 195 00:09:21,187 --> 00:09:23,107 Speaker 5: I haven't seen it. It's a bit of check going around, 196 00:09:23,187 --> 00:09:26,667 Speaker 5: but I haven't seen. I couldn't see anything. I don't 197 00:09:26,667 --> 00:09:28,187 Speaker 5: know if there was no replay or something. 198 00:09:28,187 --> 00:09:29,147 Speaker 6: I don't know. I didn't see it. 199 00:09:29,227 --> 00:09:29,467 Speaker 7: But. 200 00:09:31,267 --> 00:09:33,147 Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'll have maybe 201 00:09:33,267 --> 00:09:34,347 Speaker 6: I'll see that when we have a look at the 202 00:09:34,347 --> 00:09:37,427 Speaker 6: computer and said that was why what what are you reckonplaining? 203 00:09:37,747 --> 00:09:43,547 Speaker 2: Absolute knock on, Jess, honestly one hundred percent. He loses 204 00:09:43,587 --> 00:09:46,707 Speaker 2: it before the line, so yeah, no you've they've got 205 00:09:46,747 --> 00:09:48,667 Speaker 2: away with one there, right, Yeah, have a look at 206 00:09:48,667 --> 00:09:51,187 Speaker 2: it made. It's it's one hundred percent of knock on. 207 00:09:52,147 --> 00:09:53,947 Speaker 6: Hey, just they go both ways? 208 00:09:53,987 --> 00:09:57,467 Speaker 2: Yeah, very diplomatic.

So it's been. It's been okay. 214 00:10:13,867 --> 00:10:15,947 Speaker 5: So I've just doned little bits and pieces here and 215 00:10:15,947 --> 00:10:18,107 Speaker 5: there for mainly for myself. 216 00:10:18,147 --> 00:10:19,947 Speaker 6: Comes and end, Scotty Henson. 217 00:10:20,227 --> 00:10:22,307 Speaker 2: Thanks for taking the call. Jay, Safe travels to Cape Town. 218 00:10:22,387 --> 00:10:23,827 Speaker 2: Look forward to the second test next week. 219 00:10:24,307 --> 00:10:25,827 Speaker 6: Okay, thanks Bone see you mate. 220 00:10:25,947 --> 00:10:28,267 Speaker 2: That's Jason Holland who I spoke to shortly after the 221 00:10:28,307 --> 00:10:31,467 Speaker 2: final whistle from from Alice Park. Your chance to react 222 00:10:31,467 --> 00:10:32,907 Speaker 2: to what you heard there or what you took away 223 00:10:32,907 --> 00:10:35,187 Speaker 2: from this morning's game at Alice Park and open the 224 00:10:35,187 --> 00:10:37,467 Speaker 2: lines on this I eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 225 00:10:37,787 --> 00:10:42,587 Speaker 2: anything you want to react to or anything in particular 226 00:10:42,627 --> 00:10:45,347 Speaker 2: that stood out when you think back, what was it now, 227 00:10:46,067 --> 00:10:48,547 Speaker 2: six or seven hours ago, now the full time whistle 228 00:10:48,587 --> 00:10:51,307 Speaker 2: win or even longer, what is standing out to you? 229 00:10:51,587 --> 00:10:53,907 Speaker 2: I eight hundred and eighty ten eighty bruising test match, 230 00:10:54,667 --> 00:10:59,947 Speaker 2: typical All Blacks spring box battle. The All Blacks, I think, 231 00:10:59,947 --> 00:11:01,867 Speaker 2: can be very proud of a lot of what they did. 232 00:11:01,907 --> 00:11:04,507 Speaker 2: They played some excellent rugby in the first hour of 233 00:11:04,507 --> 00:11:08,387 Speaker 2: that game, but unfortunate Lea South Africa just came over 234 00:11:08,707 --> 00:11:10,547 Speaker 2: the top of us in the last ten or fifteen minutes. 235 00:11:10,587 --> 00:11:14,107 Speaker 2: Helped hugely, hugely, of course by the yellow card to 236 00:11:14,147 --> 00:11:16,227 Speaker 2: offer talking the fussy. It's hard enough to hold a 237 00:11:16,227 --> 00:11:18,827 Speaker 2: team like that out with fifteen men, extremely challenging with 238 00:11:18,907 --> 00:11:23,147 Speaker 2: fourteen and as it turned out impossible with fourteen. Champion 239 00:11:23,187 --> 00:11:25,227 Speaker 2: teams just find a way to win, and this is 240 00:11:25,427 --> 00:11:29,147 Speaker 2: a champion South African side. They found a way, just 241 00:11:29,187 --> 00:11:31,747 Speaker 2: like they did in the Rugby World Cup semi last year. 242 00:11:32,107 --> 00:11:35,107 Speaker 2: They were fifteen six down with ten to play against England. 243 00:11:35,147 --> 00:11:37,067 Speaker 2: They won at sixteen to fifteen. That used to be 244 00:11:37,187 --> 00:11:39,627 Speaker 2: our trademark. Remember we've seen the All Blacks do it 245 00:11:39,787 --> 00:11:42,027 Speaker 2: plenty of times down the years. Come from behind to 246 00:11:42,067 --> 00:11:45,027 Speaker 2: win test matches find a way. This time it was 247 00:11:45,227 --> 00:11:50,587 Speaker 2: South Africa who did it now. As per usual, Test 248 00:11:50,627 --> 00:11:53,827 Speaker 2: matches between US and the spring Box are often decided 249 00:11:53,827 --> 00:11:57,187 Speaker 2: on moments, and I think one of the most crucial 250 00:11:57,427 --> 00:12:01,787 Speaker 2: little passages of play was early in the last quarter 251 00:12:01,907 --> 00:12:05,787 Speaker 2: of the game, twenty seven seventeen ahead. In the sixty 252 00:12:05,867 --> 00:12:08,827 Speaker 2: third minute, we got a penalty inside there twenty two 253 00:12:09,067 --> 00:12:12,787 Speaker 2: and look, I totally understand the rationale of kicking for 254 00:12:12,827 --> 00:12:15,987 Speaker 2: the line and I admire the intent of taking the 255 00:12:15,987 --> 00:12:17,627 Speaker 2: line out looking to score a try, which would have 256 00:12:17,667 --> 00:12:20,307 Speaker 2: made it what thirty two seventeen maybe thirty four to 257 00:12:20,347 --> 00:12:23,827 Speaker 2: seventeen the game's over. Unfortunately, we didn't get the set 258 00:12:23,867 --> 00:12:26,427 Speaker 2: piece right. The chance for points fizzled out. South Africa 259 00:12:26,467 --> 00:12:27,867 Speaker 2: get it, they run and then kick it all the 260 00:12:27,907 --> 00:12:31,027 Speaker 2: way down our end. Put pressure on at the line out. 261 00:12:31,347 --> 00:12:34,027 Speaker 2: Then a slightly high pass from Asafuwan more back to 262 00:12:34,067 --> 00:12:36,667 Speaker 2: Corteges latter moments, he doesn't quite have enough time to 263 00:12:36,707 --> 00:12:39,227 Speaker 2: get us kick away. It's charged down. We then give 264 00:12:39,227 --> 00:12:41,507 Speaker 2: away a penalty. They kick for the Lions darle a 265 00:12:41,587 --> 00:12:44,547 Speaker 2: line out drive offer talking the fast as yellow carded. 266 00:12:44,987 --> 00:12:48,347 Speaker 2: We're down to fourteen, they score and the game's changed. Look, 267 00:12:48,427 --> 00:12:52,467 Speaker 2: hindsight is as always a wonderful thing, a wonderful thing. 268 00:12:52,707 --> 00:12:55,627 Speaker 2: But taking the three points would have given us a 269 00:12:55,707 --> 00:12:59,787 Speaker 2: thirty points to seventeen lead. Instead of thirty seventeen, it 270 00:12:59,867 --> 00:13:01,987 Speaker 2: became twenty seven to twenty four South Africa. I've got 271 00:13:02,027 --> 00:13:04,547 Speaker 2: the momentum and a man advantage and they go on 272 00:13:04,587 --> 00:13:07,707 Speaker 2: to win the game. The other talking point, and just 273 00:13:07,747 --> 00:13:10,187 Speaker 2: before we go to the lines, and we've got to 274 00:13:10,227 --> 00:13:14,147 Speaker 2: talk about this, is that blatant knock on for South 275 00:13:14,187 --> 00:13:18,867 Speaker 2: Africa's first try. How on earth the TMO has missed 276 00:13:18,867 --> 00:13:26,307 Speaker 2: that is unexplainable, inexplicable, impossible to comprehend. At the very 277 00:13:26,587 --> 00:13:31,027 Speaker 2: very very least, there is doubt, but they didn't even 278 00:13:31,067 --> 00:13:34,227 Speaker 2: look at it. It sounds like sour grapes when you 279 00:13:34,267 --> 00:13:37,307 Speaker 2: talk about stuff like this, but with technology so often 280 00:13:37,427 --> 00:13:39,867 Speaker 2: a talking point and the acceptance that it's here to stay, 281 00:13:39,907 --> 00:13:43,867 Speaker 2: it needs to be hoosed used effectively. It wasn't. The 282 00:13:43,947 --> 00:13:46,867 Speaker 2: examination and confirmation of that try happened very very quickly. 283 00:13:46,947 --> 00:13:49,827 Speaker 2: The reft didn't even signal time off. The shot clock 284 00:13:49,907 --> 00:13:53,427 Speaker 2: kept going, and ironically enough, the conversion attempt was timed out. 285 00:13:53,547 --> 00:13:56,987 Speaker 2: But again, at the very least, there is doubt the 286 00:13:57,027 --> 00:13:59,427 Speaker 2: TMO needed to say to the referee we should have 287 00:13:59,467 --> 00:14:03,627 Speaker 2: a closer look at that. Now. Again, let's be very 288 00:14:03,827 --> 00:14:06,347 Speaker 2: very clear. It's not the reason we lost the game, 289 00:14:07,747 --> 00:14:11,947 Speaker 2: but it's it's something that shouldn't have happened. It should 290 00:14:11,947 --> 00:14:16,307 Speaker 2: not have happened. Weekendsport oh eight hundred and eighty ten 291 00:14:16,387 --> 00:14:18,427 Speaker 2: eighty twelve twenty one already a full board. If you 292 00:14:18,427 --> 00:14:21,307 Speaker 2: can't get through the first time, please try again. All right, Greg, 293 00:14:21,387 --> 00:14:22,947 Speaker 2: kick us off? What's on your mind? 294 00:14:23,507 --> 00:14:25,747 Speaker 8: Thank god? You brought up about that shot at gold Piney. 295 00:14:27,267 --> 00:14:30,987 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, hindsight's wonderful. Hindsight's wonderful, Greg, isn't it? 296 00:14:30,987 --> 00:14:34,387 Speaker 2: But and it wasn't right in front? But I reckon, 297 00:14:34,387 --> 00:14:35,227 Speaker 2: you have a crack, don't you. 298 00:14:36,027 --> 00:14:36,227 Speaker 9: Yeah? 299 00:14:36,307 --> 00:14:38,467 Speaker 8: I mean, like, do we learn nothing from the World Cup? 300 00:14:38,507 --> 00:14:38,747 Speaker 10: You know? 301 00:14:39,387 --> 00:14:40,467 Speaker 11: Three points or three points? 302 00:14:40,467 --> 00:14:42,227 Speaker 8: The thing that really frustrates me at that point in 303 00:14:42,227 --> 00:14:44,147 Speaker 8: the game there were ten points up. It would have 304 00:14:44,187 --> 00:14:46,307 Speaker 8: been thirteen points up because it was it was a 305 00:14:46,307 --> 00:14:48,907 Speaker 8: pretty easy kick, and I mean you take the points 306 00:14:48,907 --> 00:14:50,427 Speaker 8: on the offer. They get a breezer for a couple 307 00:14:50,467 --> 00:14:53,107 Speaker 8: of minutes. The ball gets kicked back to them. You know, 308 00:14:53,187 --> 00:14:55,467 Speaker 8: everything's in their favor and your building score pressure against 309 00:14:55,467 --> 00:14:57,507 Speaker 8: to South Africans, and they start doing dumb things. You know, 310 00:14:58,107 --> 00:15:00,307 Speaker 8: I just can't understand the mentality sometimes and they don't 311 00:15:00,307 --> 00:15:01,707 Speaker 8: take those three points when they're on offer. 312 00:15:02,787 --> 00:15:07,547 Speaker 2: Again the ration la you think, yeah, yeah, are you correct? Yeah? 313 00:15:07,587 --> 00:15:09,507 Speaker 2: Again the rational I don't mind it. And even though 314 00:15:09,507 --> 00:15:11,627 Speaker 2: I've watched it back two or three times just to 315 00:15:11,707 --> 00:15:13,987 Speaker 2: check a couple of details, and even in the commentary, 316 00:15:14,027 --> 00:15:16,307 Speaker 2: Jeff Wilson says, like I admire the intents, and if 317 00:15:16,307 --> 00:15:18,187 Speaker 2: they had got the try and converted it, they're out 318 00:15:18,187 --> 00:15:21,907 Speaker 2: beyond that fourteen points the two converted tries, and would 319 00:15:21,947 --> 00:15:24,467 Speaker 2: be having a different conversation. But the fact remains thirty 320 00:15:24,467 --> 00:15:25,707 Speaker 2: seventeen is still a good lead. 321 00:15:26,587 --> 00:15:29,067 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean the pastry show is at most games 322 00:15:29,147 --> 00:15:31,147 Speaker 8: during the all backs, and Sillever won by about three 323 00:15:31,187 --> 00:15:33,667 Speaker 8: or four points, so you know, three points is critical. 324 00:15:33,787 --> 00:15:35,147 Speaker 8: Take the shots when they're on offer. 325 00:15:36,907 --> 00:15:38,947 Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, I think if they had their time again, 326 00:15:38,987 --> 00:15:41,467 Speaker 2: they probably would. Greg they probably would. How do you 327 00:15:41,507 --> 00:15:42,867 Speaker 2: feel about Cape Town next week? 328 00:15:44,267 --> 00:15:46,987 Speaker 8: I think they'll probably come out in one. Yeah, I 329 00:15:48,267 --> 00:15:50,147 Speaker 8: have my doubts about them. Today they actually played a 330 00:15:50,187 --> 00:15:53,227 Speaker 8: lot better than they were in that game for most 331 00:15:53,227 --> 00:15:54,987 Speaker 8: of the game. But I thought they were going to 332 00:15:54,987 --> 00:15:56,187 Speaker 8: really struggle, but they went. 333 00:15:56,027 --> 00:15:58,267 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, No, I thought they were good for an 334 00:15:58,267 --> 00:16:01,307 Speaker 2: hour or so, sixty five minutes. Thanks Greg. Yeah, that 335 00:16:01,667 --> 00:16:05,427 Speaker 2: was just yeah. Again, it's not the reason we lost, 336 00:16:05,427 --> 00:16:07,387 Speaker 2: but I just thought that was an interesting decision. You'd 337 00:16:07,387 --> 00:16:09,547 Speaker 2: see d Met going up even to Scott Bear and saying, oh, 338 00:16:09,587 --> 00:16:13,067 Speaker 2: I'll ever cracky you. But they made the decision. And 339 00:16:13,107 --> 00:16:14,387 Speaker 2: like I say, if they score a try from a 340 00:16:14,427 --> 00:16:16,427 Speaker 2: line out drive or from a move off a lineup, 341 00:16:16,427 --> 00:16:20,147 Speaker 2: we're having a different conversation. I just wonder whether you 342 00:16:20,187 --> 00:16:22,427 Speaker 2: take the points if they're there and suck a couple 343 00:16:22,427 --> 00:16:26,187 Speaker 2: of minutes up too. Charlie, Hi mate, Hey Jason, are 344 00:16:26,187 --> 00:16:28,787 Speaker 2: you doing good? Thank you mate. Yeah. 345 00:16:28,827 --> 00:16:30,907 Speaker 12: I tend not to try and for instantly look at 346 00:16:30,947 --> 00:16:32,987 Speaker 12: things like that. I mean, I could see that, I 347 00:16:33,027 --> 00:16:35,707 Speaker 12: could understand it. I tend to be normally go for 348 00:16:35,747 --> 00:16:38,707 Speaker 12: the points. But we were in ascend and scene I 349 00:16:38,747 --> 00:16:41,667 Speaker 12: think that yeah, and the line out had gone great 350 00:16:41,707 --> 00:16:45,227 Speaker 12: all day. I think on the balance I liked it. 351 00:16:45,267 --> 00:16:48,147 Speaker 12: I wasn't screaming at the Telly take the three, but 352 00:16:48,267 --> 00:16:50,587 Speaker 12: obviously afterwards you're going to go why didn't you take 353 00:16:50,627 --> 00:16:58,147 Speaker 12: the three? It's right hindsight, Yeah, I think, like the commentators, 354 00:16:58,147 --> 00:16:59,507 Speaker 12: I was a little bit perplexed by some of the 355 00:16:59,587 --> 00:17:03,387 Speaker 12: late substitutions For me that you know, the two big 356 00:17:03,427 --> 00:17:06,187 Speaker 12: game breakers we had on that team from my OI 357 00:17:07,467 --> 00:17:11,467 Speaker 12: was Klea Clark and Jordan, and I don't think I 358 00:17:11,507 --> 00:17:13,427 Speaker 12: think bon had run out of path by then, and 359 00:17:13,467 --> 00:17:16,387 Speaker 12: I could see I tend to when Bone runs out 360 00:17:16,427 --> 00:17:19,147 Speaker 12: of Puffy kicks it. And you know that last play 361 00:17:19,427 --> 00:17:20,827 Speaker 12: was you know, I mean, you've got to think you've 362 00:17:20,827 --> 00:17:21,787 Speaker 12: got a minute on the clock. 363 00:17:21,827 --> 00:17:22,787 Speaker 11: Why would you kick it? 364 00:17:22,907 --> 00:17:25,187 Speaker 12: I mean, why would you possibly kick that ball? But 365 00:17:25,267 --> 00:17:28,307 Speaker 12: he was dead on his feet, And I hope there 366 00:17:28,307 --> 00:17:30,187 Speaker 12: may be a bit brave next week. I love Boden, 367 00:17:30,267 --> 00:17:32,907 Speaker 12: but I think maybe putting Jordan back at fifteen and 368 00:17:32,907 --> 00:17:36,107 Speaker 12: bringing Bone off the bench. I think Clark has secured 369 00:17:36,147 --> 00:17:40,467 Speaker 12: his place, and then either Talia or or Ice I think, 370 00:17:40,467 --> 00:17:43,067 Speaker 12: well we should come back on. And I think that 371 00:17:43,187 --> 00:17:45,827 Speaker 12: was the only thing that you know, that the finishing 372 00:17:45,827 --> 00:17:47,467 Speaker 12: in the last fifteen And you say, we always used 373 00:17:47,467 --> 00:17:49,587 Speaker 12: to do it with other people, And it does become 374 00:17:49,627 --> 00:17:51,627 Speaker 12: a bit of a mental game when you start getting beat. 375 00:17:51,707 --> 00:17:55,547 Speaker 12: We were doing it regularly. I was remembering that more 376 00:17:55,627 --> 00:17:57,547 Speaker 12: non new one in the last two minutes or whatever 377 00:17:57,587 --> 00:18:00,387 Speaker 12: against South Africa and maybe ten twelve years ago, and 378 00:18:00,427 --> 00:18:02,267 Speaker 12: we we were you know, we we're famous for that. 379 00:18:02,827 --> 00:18:05,187 Speaker 12: And South Africa now have that belief. I could just 380 00:18:05,227 --> 00:18:07,987 Speaker 12: you could tell by listening to could see that they 381 00:18:08,027 --> 00:18:11,467 Speaker 12: didn't panic as all even with the intercept try that 382 00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:13,427 Speaker 12: they felt they had the confidence of coming back. 383 00:18:15,467 --> 00:18:18,347 Speaker 2: Yeah, Charlie, it's the mark of a champion team, which 384 00:18:18,387 --> 00:18:21,747 Speaker 2: they have become. They now do have that confidence. They 385 00:18:21,747 --> 00:18:24,307 Speaker 2: don't panic even at ten points down with less than 386 00:18:24,347 --> 00:18:27,347 Speaker 2: fifteen minutes to go. They believe they can, you know, 387 00:18:27,387 --> 00:18:30,547 Speaker 2: they can exert enough pressure to still win the game. 388 00:18:30,947 --> 00:18:32,707 Speaker 2: Even if we had kicked that and we were thirty 389 00:18:33,067 --> 00:18:35,707 Speaker 2: seventeen ahead, I still think they would have backed themselves 390 00:18:36,387 --> 00:18:38,387 Speaker 2: At thirty seventeen. I think we win the game, but 391 00:18:38,427 --> 00:18:40,507 Speaker 2: they still would have backed themselves just like we used to. 392 00:18:40,627 --> 00:18:43,427 Speaker 2: And we didn't always win. We didn't win every single game, 393 00:18:44,067 --> 00:18:46,667 Speaker 2: but we used to back ourselves to win from behind 394 00:18:47,067 --> 00:18:49,947 Speaker 2: late in matches. But Russia Usmus even said after the game, 395 00:18:50,027 --> 00:18:52,147 Speaker 2: you know, the All Blacks could easily have won that game. 396 00:18:52,587 --> 00:18:54,747 Speaker 2: I don't think he said they deserved to, but he 397 00:18:54,787 --> 00:18:57,507 Speaker 2: said they could have. But he's in charge of a 398 00:18:57,547 --> 00:19:00,387 Speaker 2: team that has utter belief. Utter belief doesn't matter who's 399 00:19:00,387 --> 00:19:04,307 Speaker 2: on there, and you're just on the subs too. I 400 00:19:04,347 --> 00:19:07,067 Speaker 2: don't think this is any going to be and come 401 00:19:07,067 --> 00:19:08,907 Speaker 2: as any great surprise. But they got more out of 402 00:19:08,907 --> 00:19:10,587 Speaker 2: the bench than we did. But you look at our 403 00:19:10,627 --> 00:19:13,027 Speaker 2: bench and it's very inexperienced. You know, there are a 404 00:19:13,027 --> 00:19:14,747 Speaker 2: couple of guys on there having then played in South 405 00:19:14,787 --> 00:19:17,347 Speaker 2: Africa before. I don't think I don't think Corties Ratama has. 406 00:19:17,347 --> 00:19:20,147 Speaker 2: I don't think Semipenny Fina has. I don't think Sam 407 00:19:20,187 --> 00:19:22,587 Speaker 2: Dowry has. I mean they've got, you know, sort of 408 00:19:22,627 --> 00:19:25,547 Speaker 2: three or four caps, even a safe Moor eleven caps. 409 00:19:25,627 --> 00:19:28,387 Speaker 2: It's not a lot, not a lot of experience. They 410 00:19:28,427 --> 00:19:30,187 Speaker 2: bring on the bomb squad as they call it, and 411 00:19:30,227 --> 00:19:32,707 Speaker 2: it does make a huge impact. The guy like Quager Smith, 412 00:19:32,787 --> 00:19:36,147 Speaker 2: My god, what an impact. Just before we go to 413 00:19:36,147 --> 00:19:38,547 Speaker 2: the break, Jared says, the mist knock on is absolutely 414 00:19:38,587 --> 00:19:40,747 Speaker 2: the reason we lost the game. It was an incorrect 415 00:19:40,747 --> 00:19:43,587 Speaker 2: decision and had all else been the same, we would 416 00:19:43,627 --> 00:19:46,707 Speaker 2: have won. Why must all commentators dance around that very 417 00:19:46,707 --> 00:19:49,067 Speaker 2: basic fact, Jared. The basic fact of the matter is 418 00:19:49,427 --> 00:19:53,027 Speaker 2: if that isn't awarded, we go back to seven nil 419 00:19:53,227 --> 00:19:55,307 Speaker 2: and the game plays out in a completely different way. 420 00:19:55,307 --> 00:19:57,827 Speaker 2: We can't possibly predict how the match plays out from there. 421 00:19:58,067 --> 00:19:59,987 Speaker 2: It is not the reason that we lost the game. 422 00:20:00,627 --> 00:20:06,587 Speaker 2: It's a bad call, an unexplainable set of circumstances, but 423 00:20:06,667 --> 00:20:08,307 Speaker 2: it is not the reason that All Blacks lost the 424 00:20:08,347 --> 00:20:10,147 Speaker 2: game twelve to twenty seven. Back with more of your 425 00:20:10,147 --> 00:20:10,787 Speaker 2: calls after this. 426 00:20:12,027 --> 00:20:15,507 Speaker 1: The Voice of Sport on your Home of Sport Weekend 427 00:20:15,627 --> 00:20:19,507 Speaker 1: Sport with Jason Yne and GJ. Gunner Homes New Zealand's 428 00:20:19,507 --> 00:20:21,907 Speaker 1: most trusted home builder News Talks. 429 00:20:22,027 --> 00:20:25,787 Speaker 4: Cody Taylor joins her Black Pack crumpling towards the line. 430 00:20:25,827 --> 00:20:26,587 Speaker 4: That's just good. 431 00:20:26,427 --> 00:20:29,867 Speaker 13: Stuff with the Black packer over Hey, Cody Taylor, he's 432 00:20:29,867 --> 00:20:31,107 Speaker 13: the first trive to match. 433 00:20:31,267 --> 00:20:32,667 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think of one of the secrets to winning 434 00:20:32,667 --> 00:20:34,547 Speaker 2: at Ellis Parker's starting. Well, then the All Blacks ticked 435 00:20:34,547 --> 00:20:37,027 Speaker 2: that box, didn't they without opening try and I don't 436 00:20:37,027 --> 00:20:39,587 Speaker 2: think South Africa touch the ball in about the first 437 00:20:39,627 --> 00:20:42,027 Speaker 2: ten minutes. The All Blacks out of the blocks far quicker, 438 00:20:42,147 --> 00:20:44,347 Speaker 2: far quicker than the spring box. It was just the 439 00:20:44,387 --> 00:20:46,747 Speaker 2: other end of the game. They'd all nag away at them. 440 00:20:46,787 --> 00:20:48,507 Speaker 2: I'm sure as they make their way to Cape Town, 441 00:20:48,627 --> 00:20:48,987 Speaker 2: could they. 442 00:20:48,987 --> 00:20:51,627 Speaker 8: Mark hey Canney. 443 00:20:51,827 --> 00:20:54,987 Speaker 14: Yeah, Cody Taylor was terrific in that game. I thought 444 00:20:55,027 --> 00:20:56,667 Speaker 14: he was probably the best player on the parc to 445 00:20:58,707 --> 00:21:02,227 Speaker 14: their decision that no try, I think is a sports 446 00:21:02,227 --> 00:21:05,747 Speaker 14: fan and anyone in professional sports deserves better than then. 447 00:21:06,027 --> 00:21:09,107 Speaker 14: And I hope they own incision because it was you know, 448 00:21:09,107 --> 00:21:12,507 Speaker 14: it wasn't a subjective there. It was just objectively just wrong, 449 00:21:12,587 --> 00:21:17,787 Speaker 14: you know, terrible mistake. And it's just that shouldn't really happen. 450 00:21:17,547 --> 00:21:19,987 Speaker 2: At all, you know, I can't see how the process 451 00:21:20,547 --> 00:21:25,067 Speaker 2: wasn't followed. It's there before much at the very least, 452 00:21:25,427 --> 00:21:27,987 Speaker 2: there's there's doubts, at the very least, these. 453 00:21:27,867 --> 00:21:31,507 Speaker 14: Doubts simply just wasn't a try. I mean, I don't. 454 00:21:31,587 --> 00:21:34,747 Speaker 14: I think even if you're a boxed supporter, you'd have 455 00:21:34,827 --> 00:21:37,667 Speaker 14: to admit it. Just unfortunately, like when you could tell 456 00:21:37,667 --> 00:21:40,067 Speaker 14: when he scored, he likes the lady, and you can 457 00:21:40,107 --> 00:21:43,227 Speaker 14: almost tell the the way that the try scorer reacts 458 00:21:43,227 --> 00:21:44,747 Speaker 14: whether they know they got it or not. And he 459 00:21:45,147 --> 00:21:47,747 Speaker 14: knew that he didn't score that try, So I mean 460 00:21:47,907 --> 00:21:50,787 Speaker 14: you could almost tell the body language. But I mean interesting, 461 00:21:50,867 --> 00:21:52,667 Speaker 14: it's not really the whole game. I thought the ol 462 00:21:52,747 --> 00:21:56,547 Speaker 14: Mas player pretty well probably hour of the game. I 463 00:21:56,547 --> 00:21:59,147 Speaker 14: thought they weren't a bit of sense. I don't think 464 00:21:59,187 --> 00:22:02,267 Speaker 14: they responded well to the to the bomb squad. It 465 00:22:02,427 --> 00:22:04,187 Speaker 14: could have started off as a bit of a gimmick, 466 00:22:04,227 --> 00:22:06,987 Speaker 14: but you know, he is a genius coach, and I 467 00:22:07,027 --> 00:22:10,787 Speaker 14: think they didn't. We haven't really got a plan for them, 468 00:22:10,787 --> 00:22:13,867 Speaker 14: whether they've got the players to combat that. But it 469 00:22:14,467 --> 00:22:17,587 Speaker 14: becomes in a bit of an accumulation. You know, they 470 00:22:17,627 --> 00:22:20,547 Speaker 14: come on, but then they sort of almost take over 471 00:22:20,707 --> 00:22:22,947 Speaker 14: sight in that last twenty minutes, and you've got to 472 00:22:22,987 --> 00:22:25,827 Speaker 14: admire that. The last point I want to make is 473 00:22:26,547 --> 00:22:29,667 Speaker 14: I don't think you're kicking like I will also say 474 00:22:29,707 --> 00:22:32,107 Speaker 14: I don't think South Africa has been that great at kicking, 475 00:22:32,627 --> 00:22:35,907 Speaker 14: and I think the other Northern Hemisphere teams do dominate 476 00:22:35,947 --> 00:22:39,267 Speaker 14: the kicking and the level of kicking is. I remember 477 00:22:39,307 --> 00:22:41,347 Speaker 14: I when Island came here a couple of years ago, 478 00:22:41,747 --> 00:22:43,627 Speaker 14: you just looked at you're kicking and it was just 479 00:22:43,907 --> 00:22:47,867 Speaker 14: adds the losing pinpoint, you know, and now kicking really 480 00:22:48,507 --> 00:22:51,067 Speaker 14: is not up to World club stand and I think 481 00:22:51,227 --> 00:22:54,267 Speaker 14: for me that's the biggest area we need to improve 482 00:22:55,667 --> 00:22:58,707 Speaker 14: because of different situations. You do need to kick, and 483 00:22:58,707 --> 00:23:00,107 Speaker 14: you do need to kick accurately. 484 00:23:01,187 --> 00:23:03,587 Speaker 2: Yep, one hundred percent of Mike, and you just reiterating, 485 00:23:03,667 --> 00:23:07,787 Speaker 2: really Jackson Hollins comments that, you know, we would need 486 00:23:07,827 --> 00:23:10,947 Speaker 2: to work out where we're happy giving South Africa the ball, 487 00:23:11,147 --> 00:23:12,867 Speaker 2: because that's what you're doing when you kick, you're given 488 00:23:12,907 --> 00:23:14,787 Speaker 2: the other team the ball, unless it's a box kick 489 00:23:14,827 --> 00:23:17,547 Speaker 2: and you contesting. But let's talk about kicking for territory. 490 00:23:17,587 --> 00:23:21,467 Speaker 2: They need to work out where they're happy giving South 491 00:23:21,467 --> 00:23:24,507 Speaker 2: Africa the ball and then execute that properly. Thought, I 492 00:23:24,507 --> 00:23:26,987 Speaker 2: think South Africa kicked more than we did. They did 493 00:23:27,027 --> 00:23:28,747 Speaker 2: a lot of little grubber kicks. Did you notice that 494 00:23:28,747 --> 00:23:30,667 Speaker 2: they would a lot of times in their back line 495 00:23:30,667 --> 00:23:33,107 Speaker 2: they tried the little grubber kick through one of Whether 496 00:23:33,147 --> 00:23:36,107 Speaker 2: that's a Tony Brown thing perhaps, I don't know. It's 497 00:23:36,107 --> 00:23:37,907 Speaker 2: just occurred to me that they were doing it more 498 00:23:37,947 --> 00:23:40,947 Speaker 2: often than they previously did. A couple of people have 499 00:23:42,107 --> 00:23:45,147 Speaker 2: pointed out that Damien McKenzie kicked a conversion after the 500 00:23:45,147 --> 00:23:48,507 Speaker 2: shot clock had ticked over, which I actually I thought 501 00:23:48,547 --> 00:23:52,187 Speaker 2: he had to and certainly given the fact that the 502 00:23:52,187 --> 00:23:55,187 Speaker 2: one for the very questionable first South African try was 503 00:23:55,467 --> 00:23:59,267 Speaker 2: was chalked off for being timed out. I thought Dmac 504 00:23:59,307 --> 00:24:01,627 Speaker 2: went over as well. So if we're talking about decisions, 505 00:24:01,627 --> 00:24:03,747 Speaker 2: he's taken other two points off us, you know, Like 506 00:24:03,787 --> 00:24:07,387 Speaker 2: I say, one decision does not cost a team of game, 507 00:24:08,307 --> 00:24:10,467 Speaker 2: especially when it's so early. Because the game just takes 508 00:24:10,467 --> 00:24:14,947 Speaker 2: a completely different track, we can't possibly predict what will happen. 509 00:24:15,347 --> 00:24:17,747 Speaker 2: As I say, if the try is not awarded, we 510 00:24:17,827 --> 00:24:20,187 Speaker 2: start with a scrum, don't we. We start with all 511 00:24:20,187 --> 00:24:22,347 Speaker 2: Black speaks to a scrum, and the game takes off 512 00:24:22,347 --> 00:24:25,267 Speaker 2: along a completely different path than the one that followed. 513 00:24:25,587 --> 00:24:28,787 Speaker 2: It doesn't necessarily follow that just because that try was awarded, 514 00:24:29,987 --> 00:24:32,147 Speaker 2: the All Blacks don't win the game. We were ten 515 00:24:32,187 --> 00:24:36,187 Speaker 2: points ahead with twelve minutes to go. The two things 516 00:24:36,227 --> 00:24:39,507 Speaker 2: do not correlate to one another. Yes, it's a talking 517 00:24:39,547 --> 00:24:41,907 Speaker 2: point in the game, but it is not the reason 518 00:24:42,027 --> 00:24:46,027 Speaker 2: we lost the game. Hello Chris, Hey, how are you 519 00:24:46,707 --> 00:24:47,027 Speaker 2: very good? 520 00:24:47,067 --> 00:24:51,027 Speaker 15: Chris? Look my take on the game, and I take 521 00:24:51,067 --> 00:24:53,307 Speaker 15: it with a grain of salt because I hate losing 522 00:24:53,587 --> 00:24:58,267 Speaker 15: to the status, you know. But in saying that, the 523 00:24:58,347 --> 00:25:00,427 Speaker 15: one two world Cups in a row. They are the 524 00:25:00,547 --> 00:25:04,667 Speaker 15: form team and world rugby the last few years. And 525 00:25:04,747 --> 00:25:06,867 Speaker 15: so you know the fact that we went to joe Berg, 526 00:25:06,987 --> 00:25:10,267 Speaker 15: which is like five and a half thousand feet, you know, 527 00:25:10,427 --> 00:25:13,027 Speaker 15: there's a lot of you know, like that that helps. 528 00:25:13,667 --> 00:25:16,867 Speaker 15: It stops people's oxygen and they're I think we did 529 00:25:17,147 --> 00:25:21,267 Speaker 15: really well. New team, new coach Thays, who have never 530 00:25:21,307 --> 00:25:25,547 Speaker 15: played there in the past, in an inexperienced team versus 531 00:25:25,787 --> 00:25:29,427 Speaker 15: a very solid tables at the African team. There's a 532 00:25:29,467 --> 00:25:32,507 Speaker 15: good future in this All Black side. And to be 533 00:25:32,667 --> 00:25:35,987 Speaker 15: so close to them in this early process of the 534 00:25:36,027 --> 00:25:38,827 Speaker 15: four year cycle, I'm very proud of the boys to 535 00:25:38,907 --> 00:25:41,627 Speaker 15: be so close, and we could have had it, you know, 536 00:25:42,187 --> 00:25:44,427 Speaker 15: if it was a couple of decisions here or there. 537 00:25:45,107 --> 00:25:48,347 Speaker 15: I take it as a sob a moment because next 538 00:25:48,387 --> 00:25:51,187 Speaker 15: week we're going down to sea level at Cape Town, 539 00:25:51,747 --> 00:25:54,067 Speaker 15: and there was times in this game that we ran 540 00:25:54,187 --> 00:25:58,987 Speaker 15: them off off their feet, So I'm excited about next week. 541 00:25:59,947 --> 00:26:02,667 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the same Chris I thought the I thought 542 00:26:02,707 --> 00:26:05,507 Speaker 2: the fifteen that started we're really good. I thought Cody 543 00:26:05,547 --> 00:26:09,147 Speaker 2: Taylor had a horrific test. Ethan Blackadder stood out for me. 544 00:26:09,187 --> 00:26:12,587 Speaker 2: Sam Kane was good Caleb Clark, I think has made 545 00:26:13,267 --> 00:26:16,107 Speaker 2: a really strong case for a start next week. Jordie 546 00:26:16,147 --> 00:26:20,627 Speaker 2: Barrett was good. I thought the starting fifteen well on 547 00:26:20,747 --> 00:26:23,907 Speaker 2: the whole, very very good. I just we just didn't 548 00:26:24,107 --> 00:26:26,507 Speaker 2: get the impact off the bench that we're come to 549 00:26:26,587 --> 00:26:29,347 Speaker 2: expect in the past. And that's South Africa get now. 550 00:26:31,147 --> 00:26:33,347 Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, you know they've got the bomb spot 551 00:26:33,467 --> 00:26:37,547 Speaker 15: mentality that they do. But I would like New Zealand 552 00:26:37,627 --> 00:26:41,667 Speaker 15: Rugby to stay with the way we do things, just because, 553 00:26:42,867 --> 00:26:46,747 Speaker 15: like this was a good example of certificate playing there 554 00:26:46,827 --> 00:26:49,747 Speaker 15: Rugby and us. We just fell a little bit short 555 00:26:49,947 --> 00:26:52,387 Speaker 15: on the high belt. We ran out of puff essentially 556 00:26:52,707 --> 00:26:55,227 Speaker 15: and had a yellow card at the same time. If 557 00:26:55,227 --> 00:26:58,027 Speaker 15: it wasn't that yellow card, it could have been a 558 00:26:58,067 --> 00:27:02,387 Speaker 15: little bit different. So yeah, let's I looked forward to 559 00:27:02,627 --> 00:27:06,867 Speaker 15: and I'm rubbing my hands at let's go to Cape 560 00:27:06,907 --> 00:27:09,507 Speaker 15: Town and see if they can do the same thing 561 00:27:09,587 --> 00:27:10,427 Speaker 15: back to us again. 562 00:27:11,347 --> 00:27:13,427 Speaker 2: Yeah, good man, Chris, I'm looking forward to next week 563 00:27:13,467 --> 00:27:15,707 Speaker 2: as well. That's the great thing about the way the 564 00:27:15,707 --> 00:27:18,187 Speaker 2: season is structured. As we get another crack straight away 565 00:27:18,747 --> 00:27:20,667 Speaker 2: a week away, you don't have to just sort of 566 00:27:21,227 --> 00:27:23,587 Speaker 2: have it fester away like the Rugby World Cup Final, 567 00:27:23,667 --> 00:27:26,147 Speaker 2: wait for months and months to have another crack at them. 568 00:27:26,147 --> 00:27:28,587 Speaker 2: We get, you know, seven days down to Cape Town, 569 00:27:28,907 --> 00:27:30,547 Speaker 2: have a go down there. I don't think the w 570 00:27:30,547 --> 00:27:32,827 Speaker 2: any changes to the starting fifteen. I think the fifteen 571 00:27:32,867 --> 00:27:35,307 Speaker 2: will be the same. Whether there's a few tweaks around 572 00:27:35,347 --> 00:27:38,747 Speaker 2: the reserve bench remains to be seen. The other one 573 00:27:38,787 --> 00:27:42,947 Speaker 2: is that and the bomb squad is obviously premeditated what 574 00:27:42,987 --> 00:27:45,387 Speaker 2: they said on five. At the same time, I still 575 00:27:45,467 --> 00:27:48,307 Speaker 2: like the idea if a guy's playing well, just leave 576 00:27:48,347 --> 00:27:51,587 Speaker 2: them on, particularly in the half back in hooker roles. 577 00:27:52,347 --> 00:27:54,947 Speaker 2: And that's nothing against the guys who came on Alma 578 00:27:55,027 --> 00:27:58,267 Speaker 2: and Ruthdama, But like I say, they're far less experienced 579 00:27:58,267 --> 00:28:01,707 Speaker 2: than Pernala and Taylor, both of who I thought were good. 580 00:28:01,867 --> 00:28:05,707 Speaker 2: I'm not ignoring TJ giving away that penalty for chatting 581 00:28:05,707 --> 00:28:08,747 Speaker 2: to the ref. I think if we're giving penalties now 582 00:28:08,787 --> 00:28:12,067 Speaker 2: for half backs chatting back, then where are we? Where 583 00:28:12,107 --> 00:28:13,787 Speaker 2: are we with this game of ours? I don't know, 584 00:28:14,027 --> 00:28:15,867 Speaker 2: but I thought on the hole yet he had a 585 00:28:15,867 --> 00:28:19,387 Speaker 2: good game and corties on Ama. You know it's still 586 00:28:19,427 --> 00:28:22,707 Speaker 2: early and there's all Black's career. A Pata Harma we 587 00:28:22,747 --> 00:28:24,267 Speaker 2: spoke yesterday thanks for calling back. 588 00:28:25,307 --> 00:28:28,787 Speaker 16: Well, he wanted a debrief point, but firstly a happy father'sday. 589 00:28:28,787 --> 00:28:30,867 Speaker 11: I hope your kids looked at to you this morning. 590 00:28:31,147 --> 00:28:32,587 Speaker 16: While you cried into your breakfast. 591 00:28:32,947 --> 00:28:35,547 Speaker 2: I haven't. I haven't seen my kids this morning, actually 592 00:28:35,547 --> 00:28:37,747 Speaker 2: a pat of harm. I I watched the rugby and 593 00:28:37,747 --> 00:28:39,867 Speaker 2: then I came straight into work. So any chance of 594 00:28:39,867 --> 00:28:43,267 Speaker 2: my kids being up at five next to non existent. 595 00:28:43,307 --> 00:28:48,187 Speaker 16: Mate, it's two things finding let's try so I've got 596 00:28:48,227 --> 00:28:49,547 Speaker 16: an alternative on it. 597 00:28:50,747 --> 00:28:53,307 Speaker 11: I think Jordy kneeds it out of his hand as 598 00:28:53,307 --> 00:28:55,587 Speaker 11: he's going to ground and then he just falls on it. 599 00:28:55,867 --> 00:28:57,347 Speaker 16: So that Jordan, I said, you. 600 00:28:57,267 --> 00:28:59,027 Speaker 8: Could have picked the really call out a strip. 601 00:28:59,867 --> 00:29:01,427 Speaker 16: But and I think I don't know. 602 00:29:03,307 --> 00:29:05,547 Speaker 2: It's still a knock on though it's Yeah, it's still 603 00:29:05,547 --> 00:29:06,867 Speaker 2: a knock on though, isn't it If it comes out 604 00:29:06,907 --> 00:29:08,507 Speaker 2: of his hands forward, it's still not gone. 605 00:29:09,267 --> 00:29:10,067 Speaker 11: Not if a strip? 606 00:29:11,867 --> 00:29:13,627 Speaker 2: Yeah, but he has is it? Can you strip it 607 00:29:13,667 --> 00:29:14,307 Speaker 2: with your knee? 608 00:29:15,547 --> 00:29:16,027 Speaker 15: I reckon? 609 00:29:16,507 --> 00:29:16,707 Speaker 16: You know? 610 00:29:16,707 --> 00:29:19,587 Speaker 17: It was like and I feel like did Jordy sort 611 00:29:19,587 --> 00:29:22,947 Speaker 17: of forced it sort of towards towards anyway. 612 00:29:23,267 --> 00:29:25,387 Speaker 16: I was surprised they didn't look at it like you said. 613 00:29:26,227 --> 00:29:27,427 Speaker 17: First of the good Pioney. 614 00:29:29,347 --> 00:29:30,707 Speaker 11: I talked about Dmac yesterday. 615 00:29:30,747 --> 00:29:32,867 Speaker 17: I think general play, I was pretty happy with him, 616 00:29:32,947 --> 00:29:37,307 Speaker 17: right he he was in the middle of pretty much 617 00:29:37,347 --> 00:29:39,987 Speaker 17: most of our tries and he looked good skipping around 618 00:29:40,027 --> 00:29:43,067 Speaker 17: and whatnot. So I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna give him 619 00:29:43,107 --> 00:29:46,467 Speaker 17: a good, good pass for his general general play today. 620 00:29:46,507 --> 00:29:48,787 Speaker 17: I thought he might feel the pressure, but I think 621 00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:52,427 Speaker 17: he did pretty well. Our set piece was solid, super solid. 622 00:29:52,507 --> 00:29:54,907 Speaker 17: You know, I think we probably got more of their 623 00:29:54,947 --> 00:29:59,187 Speaker 17: line outs than days that have ours, so you know 624 00:29:59,227 --> 00:30:01,107 Speaker 17: that it was there for the taking to write the 625 00:30:01,107 --> 00:30:01,947 Speaker 17: box for me. 626 00:30:02,307 --> 00:30:03,347 Speaker 11: They didn't really play that well. 627 00:30:03,347 --> 00:30:05,427 Speaker 16: They dropped it a lot of pill and actually when 628 00:30:05,467 --> 00:30:06,307 Speaker 16: they did hold onto. 629 00:30:06,147 --> 00:30:08,347 Speaker 15: The super dangerous for mine. 630 00:30:08,667 --> 00:30:10,547 Speaker 16: So I was sort of glad they dropped as much 631 00:30:10,547 --> 00:30:16,107 Speaker 16: small as they did. They're bad. So we were so disciplined, 632 00:30:16,147 --> 00:30:18,467 Speaker 16: and I call it sort of unforced penalties. Of course 633 00:30:18,507 --> 00:30:21,627 Speaker 16: it's not unforced unforced, but you know, it's just disciplined 634 00:30:21,707 --> 00:30:24,827 Speaker 16: sort of penalties. We don't need to do that extra thing, 635 00:30:25,907 --> 00:30:28,587 Speaker 16: and we just gave away so many, which ultimately led 636 00:30:29,027 --> 00:30:34,547 Speaker 16: led to that yellow MM and h our kicking too. 637 00:30:34,667 --> 00:30:38,427 Speaker 16: You know, well who the Jays talking about exits and 638 00:30:38,587 --> 00:30:41,387 Speaker 16: we've got we've got a cannon and Jordi Barrett who 639 00:30:41,387 --> 00:30:45,867 Speaker 16: should be in the pocket and exiting, exiting from those 640 00:30:45,947 --> 00:30:46,867 Speaker 16: kickoffs and whatnot. 641 00:30:46,947 --> 00:30:47,707 Speaker 2: But I don't know. 642 00:30:48,187 --> 00:30:50,187 Speaker 16: It's obviously tactical that they don't use him. 643 00:30:50,307 --> 00:30:51,867 Speaker 17: One of the times he was actually ducking out of 644 00:30:51,907 --> 00:30:54,707 Speaker 17: the way and kicked it over his head, So we've 645 00:30:54,707 --> 00:30:57,827 Speaker 17: got to use his boots, tiny, I guess. 646 00:30:57,867 --> 00:31:00,707 Speaker 2: I guess I'm trying to think of of of reasons 647 00:31:00,747 --> 00:31:02,387 Speaker 2: for him not being in the pocket. I guess if 648 00:31:02,387 --> 00:31:05,227 Speaker 2: he sits there in their pocket at first receiver said, 649 00:31:05,227 --> 00:31:07,107 Speaker 2: they ever gonna know what's coming. They know he's not 650 00:31:07,147 --> 00:31:09,307 Speaker 2: going to run from first receiver. If he gets at 651 00:31:09,347 --> 00:31:11,427 Speaker 2: Jordi Barrett there, he's going to kick it. So it 652 00:31:11,587 --> 00:31:14,227 Speaker 2: all almost telegraphs it. At least when he's at second five, 653 00:31:15,267 --> 00:31:16,627 Speaker 2: you know, yes it can get to him, and he 654 00:31:16,667 --> 00:31:19,067 Speaker 2: can kick from there with less room obviously, but look, 655 00:31:19,107 --> 00:31:21,067 Speaker 2: you're right, he's got a terrific boot. The penalties that 656 00:31:21,307 --> 00:31:23,547 Speaker 2: you pick up on a pat ahama is so valid. 657 00:31:23,587 --> 00:31:27,627 Speaker 2: Fourteen to five, you know, And and no matter which 658 00:31:27,667 --> 00:31:29,227 Speaker 2: way you dress it up, that is a that is 659 00:31:29,267 --> 00:31:32,627 Speaker 2: a big, big imbalance fourteen to five. I'm not saying 660 00:31:32,627 --> 00:31:34,267 Speaker 2: that's anything to do with the referee. I just think 661 00:31:34,307 --> 00:31:38,627 Speaker 2: it was pressure which led to ill discipline and at 662 00:31:38,627 --> 00:31:40,467 Speaker 2: the end of the day led to the South Africans 663 00:31:40,547 --> 00:31:41,867 Speaker 2: running over the top of us at the end. 664 00:31:43,187 --> 00:31:48,867 Speaker 17: Yeah, and the last thing, you know, the kid Chase 665 00:31:48,987 --> 00:31:51,107 Speaker 17: those kicks that we do, the kick Chase made it 666 00:31:51,147 --> 00:31:52,907 Speaker 17: look like Tailor was good. 667 00:31:52,947 --> 00:31:54,427 Speaker 9: Tailor's kick Chase came from. 668 00:31:54,427 --> 00:31:56,707 Speaker 16: He was like, they were not great texts, but he 669 00:31:56,747 --> 00:31:58,907 Speaker 16: made them look good by a securing ball, even though. 670 00:31:58,827 --> 00:32:06,507 Speaker 18: I think there's a few ruck turnovers kicking those who 671 00:32:06,827 --> 00:32:08,427 Speaker 18: we had to finish. 672 00:32:08,507 --> 00:32:08,947 Speaker 19: I don't know. 673 00:32:09,547 --> 00:32:11,907 Speaker 2: He just looked him and him and Rico when he 674 00:32:11,987 --> 00:32:13,627 Speaker 2: kicked out a head, I looked and I sort of 675 00:32:13,627 --> 00:32:15,987 Speaker 2: looked at Ricco Yoanni who I think he was kicking 676 00:32:16,027 --> 00:32:18,387 Speaker 2: it forward too, and he just kind of dropped his shoulders. 677 00:32:18,507 --> 00:32:20,387 Speaker 2: He was neked. They both were, you know, they were 678 00:32:20,427 --> 00:32:20,827 Speaker 2: just done. 679 00:32:20,867 --> 00:32:21,067 Speaker 9: Yeah. 680 00:32:22,307 --> 00:32:23,947 Speaker 11: Yeah, well and they were kicking it back to us. 681 00:32:23,987 --> 00:32:25,787 Speaker 16: It's like, why don't these teams don't want to hold 682 00:32:25,787 --> 00:32:26,187 Speaker 16: the ball for. 683 00:32:29,907 --> 00:32:30,027 Speaker 7: Win? 684 00:32:31,027 --> 00:32:33,867 Speaker 2: Yeah?

You say a moor Et cetera, 712 00:33:43,107 --> 00:33:46,627 Speaker 21: lack experience. They you know, Moo is a big unit, 713 00:33:47,107 --> 00:33:50,267 Speaker 21: bringing him on with ten twelve minutes to go and 714 00:33:50,427 --> 00:33:53,667 Speaker 21: expecting him to play extremely well, which is what has 715 00:33:53,667 --> 00:33:57,267 Speaker 21: happened all season. It doesn't work, Sam Dowry. You know, 716 00:33:57,387 --> 00:33:59,387 Speaker 21: some of those forwards were buggered. 717 00:33:59,507 --> 00:34:00,187 Speaker 11: We're twenty to go. 718 00:34:00,507 --> 00:34:01,307 Speaker 7: We were dominant. 719 00:34:01,787 --> 00:34:04,747 Speaker 21: We had them puffing and panting, but our forwards looked 720 00:34:04,787 --> 00:34:05,947 Speaker 21: bugging at the same time. 721 00:34:06,507 --> 00:34:07,387 Speaker 7: And we don't. 722 00:34:07,867 --> 00:34:09,827 Speaker 21: We don't pull forward. We don't seem to pull these 723 00:34:09,827 --> 00:34:13,947 Speaker 21: guys off until, you know, until the last few minutes, 724 00:34:13,987 --> 00:34:16,987 Speaker 21: and it's just by then our discipline had gone. You know, 725 00:34:17,187 --> 00:34:20,547 Speaker 21: we were making mistakes. He needs to use his reserve 726 00:34:20,667 --> 00:34:23,787 Speaker 21: bench better. And I'd also take a look at some 727 00:34:23,867 --> 00:34:27,827 Speaker 21: of the reserve bench. You know he's got guys there 728 00:34:28,507 --> 00:34:33,747 Speaker 21: over Yeah no, not for me, thanks mate. He's he's 729 00:34:33,747 --> 00:34:36,267 Speaker 21: been a good player. He's still a good scrummager, but 730 00:34:36,347 --> 00:34:38,387 Speaker 21: he's slow and ponderous and he does give away a 731 00:34:38,427 --> 00:34:42,707 Speaker 21: lot of penalties nowadays. You know he's got the big boy. 732 00:34:43,227 --> 00:34:43,827 Speaker 21: Is it toasy? 733 00:34:43,907 --> 00:34:47,667 Speaker 2: I think yeah? Yet No, you have Vasilosa, Yep, that's him. 734 00:34:48,667 --> 00:34:52,027 Speaker 21: He's a big unit. He's extremely mobile, he's a good scrummager. 735 00:34:52,467 --> 00:34:54,787 Speaker 21: The sight of him in the last twenty minutes been 736 00:34:54,787 --> 00:34:57,107 Speaker 21: given the ball and told run like hell at Malcolm 737 00:34:57,147 --> 00:35:01,147 Speaker 21: Marx who was puffing and panting. You know, I would 738 00:35:01,147 --> 00:35:03,667 Speaker 21: have liked to have seen that. But I do question 739 00:35:03,987 --> 00:35:08,067 Speaker 21: Scott Robinson's usage of his bench. Sam Dowry, you know, 740 00:35:09,107 --> 00:35:12,387 Speaker 21: he's a superb athlete, a great little player in the making. 741 00:35:12,827 --> 00:35:14,587 Speaker 21: We should have brought him on was twenty to go, 742 00:35:14,747 --> 00:35:16,787 Speaker 21: and to be honest, you could have replaced Scott Barrett 743 00:35:16,827 --> 00:35:20,467 Speaker 21: with him because Barrett was struggling, I think, which is 744 00:35:20,467 --> 00:35:22,467 Speaker 21: to be expected after several weeks out of the game. 745 00:35:22,987 --> 00:35:24,907 Speaker 2: Yeah, so when you used that, yeah, so when you 746 00:35:24,907 --> 00:35:27,867 Speaker 2: say used the bench better, so in other words, used 747 00:35:27,867 --> 00:35:28,507 Speaker 2: the bench. 748 00:35:28,547 --> 00:35:31,547 Speaker 18: Earlier, definitely for me. 749 00:35:31,667 --> 00:35:35,747 Speaker 21: I mean, Erasmus is not the only one who brings 750 00:35:35,747 --> 00:35:38,907 Speaker 21: this bench on early. We've seen Ireland do it, you know, 751 00:35:39,107 --> 00:35:42,347 Speaker 21: to a lesser extent, We've seen France do it. Scott 752 00:35:42,787 --> 00:35:45,867 Speaker 21: Robertson seems to have an issue with you know, his 753 00:35:46,067 --> 00:35:49,387 Speaker 21: players are exhausted, but he still does not replace them. 754 00:35:49,947 --> 00:35:52,547 Speaker 21: And yep, okay, Cody Taylor. Perhaps you know, with the 755 00:35:52,547 --> 00:35:55,347 Speaker 21: amount of time he spends on the wing, he might 756 00:35:55,387 --> 00:35:58,707 Speaker 21: not have been as tired as you know, guys like. 757 00:35:58,227 --> 00:35:59,347 Speaker 7: VII and Barrett and that. 758 00:35:59,467 --> 00:36:02,827 Speaker 21: But you know he needed to make some changes today 759 00:36:02,867 --> 00:36:05,027 Speaker 21: and you could see it. The heads were down, the 760 00:36:05,147 --> 00:36:08,427 Speaker 21: discipline went down. Then you bring these young guys on 761 00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:10,467 Speaker 21: and you say we'll have about it. 762 00:36:10,467 --> 00:36:12,547 Speaker 11: It's too late by then, and asking. 763 00:36:12,267 --> 00:36:15,227 Speaker 21: Them to perform miracles against you know, a fired up 764 00:36:15,267 --> 00:36:17,587 Speaker 21: South African team with ten or eleven to go is 765 00:36:18,467 --> 00:36:20,787 Speaker 21: I think it's unfair on them, and I think it's wrong. 766 00:36:22,027 --> 00:36:24,187 Speaker 2: When they came on, though, I think we were ahead 767 00:36:24,587 --> 00:36:28,507 Speaker 2: when the majority of them. I think Talaya and Leonard 768 00:36:28,507 --> 00:36:31,147 Speaker 2: Brown came on a bit later, but I think when 769 00:36:31,227 --> 00:36:35,187 Speaker 2: Darry maybe not fee now Alma came on, I think 770 00:36:35,227 --> 00:36:35,867 Speaker 2: we were ahead. 771 00:36:37,427 --> 00:36:42,067 Speaker 21: He didn't bring the forwards on until we were struggling 772 00:36:43,267 --> 00:36:46,147 Speaker 21: when he brought them on, And to me, I mean 773 00:36:46,827 --> 00:36:49,267 Speaker 21: Dari and Amora in particular should have come on at 774 00:36:49,347 --> 00:36:53,267 Speaker 21: least twenty to go and just puked into their work. 775 00:36:54,587 --> 00:36:57,547 Speaker 21: You know, I need the other one for me. Perhaps 776 00:36:58,747 --> 00:37:03,267 Speaker 21: that he should be looking at is Billy Proctor. You 777 00:37:03,267 --> 00:37:05,667 Speaker 21: know what's he got a guy of the class of 778 00:37:05,707 --> 00:37:07,827 Speaker 21: Billy Proptor. Therefore, if he's not going to have him 779 00:37:07,827 --> 00:37:10,547 Speaker 21: somewhere in the squad or somewhere in the team. Rico 780 00:37:11,067 --> 00:37:15,267 Speaker 21: still dies with the ball he's and he died tonight. 781 00:37:15,347 --> 00:37:18,267 Speaker 21: I thought he had one of his better games this season, 782 00:37:18,307 --> 00:37:20,947 Speaker 21: but he still died with a lot of ball. You know, 783 00:37:21,107 --> 00:37:23,867 Speaker 21: if you're going to have Caleb Clark out on the outside, 784 00:37:23,987 --> 00:37:26,027 Speaker 21: you really need someone who's going to distribute to them 785 00:37:26,067 --> 00:37:27,627 Speaker 21: all the time. And to me, that's Proctor. 786 00:37:28,947 --> 00:37:30,587 Speaker 2: Good points well mate, I take the other guy i'd 787 00:37:30,587 --> 00:37:32,027 Speaker 2: like to see and there is Wallace a Titi, but 788 00:37:32,027 --> 00:37:34,267 Speaker 2: I don't think they will. And the same with Proctor 789 00:37:34,267 --> 00:37:36,787 Speaker 2: because they're so new. It's almost like too big an 790 00:37:36,787 --> 00:37:39,107 Speaker 2: occasion for them, or Alice Park might have been.

If you 796 00:37:52,467 --> 00:37:54,867 Speaker 21: don't start them in the cauldron, you know you can 797 00:37:54,907 --> 00:37:57,427 Speaker 21: find an excuse every week. I think you've got to 798 00:37:57,467 --> 00:37:59,067 Speaker 21: start them and you've got to back yourself as a 799 00:37:59,147 --> 00:38:00,667 Speaker 21: coach to get the best out of them, no matter 800 00:38:00,667 --> 00:38:01,267 Speaker 21: who you're playing. 801 00:38:02,307 --> 00:38:04,667 Speaker 2: It's been a pleasure disagreeing with you, Blair, thanks for calling, 802 00:38:04,707 --> 00:38:05,787 Speaker 2: make callback anytime. 803 00:38:06,827 --> 00:38:08,107 Speaker 7: Thanks right, so all of this. 804 00:38:08,387 --> 00:38:11,707 Speaker 2: Take it easy. We'll get one more breakaway back with 805 00:38:11,747 --> 00:38:13,347 Speaker 2: a couple more calls after this team to one. 806 00:38:15,387 --> 00:38:18,187 Speaker 1: From the track field and the court on your HOMEO 807 00:38:18,307 --> 00:38:20,987 Speaker 1: sport Sport with Jason n. 808 00:38:22,747 --> 00:38:24,027 Speaker 2: Seven to one, did I Joe? 809 00:38:24,787 --> 00:38:24,987 Speaker 6: Yeah? 810 00:38:24,987 --> 00:38:25,507 Speaker 9: How are you doing? 811 00:38:25,547 --> 00:38:25,867 Speaker 20: Party? 812 00:38:26,347 --> 00:38:26,747 Speaker 2: Very good? 813 00:38:26,867 --> 00:38:27,267 Speaker 7: Very good Jo. 814 00:38:28,107 --> 00:38:31,787 Speaker 9: I'm a first time caller and yeah, I guess it 815 00:38:31,867 --> 00:38:35,987 Speaker 9: was a great game. I think the referee was shaky. 816 00:38:37,227 --> 00:38:42,267 Speaker 9: I think the penalty on Peranara for talking back uh 817 00:38:42,627 --> 00:38:45,067 Speaker 9: in a Test match like that, I think is a 818 00:38:45,107 --> 00:38:49,867 Speaker 9: bad call. I think also, you know, we made a 819 00:38:49,867 --> 00:38:53,547 Speaker 9: couple of crucial mistakes. One where we didn't take the 820 00:38:53,587 --> 00:38:57,907 Speaker 9: three points. We were roped ten. We wanted to put 821 00:38:57,947 --> 00:39:01,707 Speaker 9: a little bit more onto the box and go up 822 00:39:01,747 --> 00:39:05,147 Speaker 9: by more than thirteen. But I think when you're down there, 823 00:39:05,307 --> 00:39:09,387 Speaker 9: you got to take the point. There was another mistake 824 00:39:09,587 --> 00:39:13,227 Speaker 9: where no one got to the rock and South Africa 825 00:39:13,387 --> 00:39:16,787 Speaker 9: just picked it out of there and we were right 826 00:39:16,827 --> 00:39:23,547 Speaker 9: inside and ready to attack again. I think the South 827 00:39:23,587 --> 00:39:27,507 Speaker 9: Africans again slowing down the ball and the referee letting 828 00:39:27,547 --> 00:39:31,347 Speaker 9: them lay on our side of the ball and not 829 00:39:31,427 --> 00:39:34,747 Speaker 9: penalizing them for it. And then also with our lineouts. 830 00:39:34,827 --> 00:39:38,107 Speaker 9: I think our lineouts and our scrums did a big tick, 831 00:39:38,787 --> 00:39:44,827 Speaker 9: but South Africa continually slow it down and are having 832 00:39:44,867 --> 00:39:48,547 Speaker 9: a huddle before our line out, and the referees got 833 00:39:48,587 --> 00:39:50,947 Speaker 9: to step in and say, listen, you either get into 834 00:39:50,987 --> 00:39:53,547 Speaker 9: the line out or are you going to get penalized, 835 00:39:54,267 --> 00:39:58,267 Speaker 9: And so they were a crucial moment. I did think 836 00:39:58,307 --> 00:40:01,667 Speaker 9: when we were up ten that it was still in 837 00:40:01,747 --> 00:40:05,267 Speaker 9: the balance. We needed to score one more time, whether 838 00:40:05,307 --> 00:40:10,187 Speaker 9: it was three or seven, and then the penalty again 839 00:40:10,707 --> 00:40:13,947 Speaker 9: ten minutes left in the game. It's a big call 840 00:40:14,027 --> 00:40:17,987 Speaker 9: for the referee, but you got to make big calls there. 841 00:40:18,347 --> 00:40:20,387 Speaker 9: He would we would have been better off letting them 842 00:40:20,387 --> 00:40:23,347 Speaker 9: score to try and then go back with fifteen players. 843 00:40:24,067 --> 00:40:27,827 Speaker 9: You can't commit a penalty like that inside the five 844 00:40:27,947 --> 00:40:34,187 Speaker 9: meter line. With South Africa, they are dangerous. Anytime within 845 00:40:34,227 --> 00:40:39,147 Speaker 9: the twenty two they're gonna line out, drive and uh 846 00:40:39,187 --> 00:40:41,947 Speaker 9: and then look to get points whether and most of 847 00:40:41,987 --> 00:40:44,827 Speaker 9: the time it's the penalty is with them all and 848 00:40:45,147 --> 00:40:48,267 Speaker 9: they're great at it. So I tipped my hat to them. 849 00:40:48,667 --> 00:40:50,987 Speaker 9: It was one that I just thought we had it 850 00:40:51,147 --> 00:40:55,907 Speaker 9: and would have been a great win for US. I 851 00:40:55,907 --> 00:40:59,307 Speaker 9: feel sorry for the boys because boy, they just they fought, 852 00:40:59,627 --> 00:41:03,587 Speaker 9: fought like tooth and now and I thought Taylor Clark 853 00:41:03,667 --> 00:41:07,627 Speaker 9: had a blinder. I know on the after the match 854 00:41:07,667 --> 00:41:11,347 Speaker 9: they said that he might have got hurt. I'm not 855 00:41:11,387 --> 00:41:13,187 Speaker 9: sure why they took him off, but I would have 856 00:41:13,187 --> 00:41:15,467 Speaker 9: probably kept them mind unless he begged to come off. 857 00:41:16,107 --> 00:41:18,427 Speaker 9: And yeah, and the bench, I think they're going to 858 00:41:18,507 --> 00:41:20,827 Speaker 9: have to look at at the impact that the bench 859 00:41:21,987 --> 00:41:24,907 Speaker 9: made and is going to make in the future because 860 00:41:25,667 --> 00:41:28,467 Speaker 9: they didn't really make a positive impact. 861 00:41:28,587 --> 00:41:32,587 Speaker 2: I don't think Joe brilliant first time Cally you have 862 00:41:32,627 --> 00:41:34,387 Speaker 2: turned out to be. We're just out of time, mate, 863 00:41:34,387 --> 00:41:36,907 Speaker 2: Please call back anytime.

What stands out the most 906 00:43:54,467 --> 00:43:54,827 Speaker 2: for you? 907 00:43:55,867 --> 00:43:58,107 Speaker 22: Just there was just such a tribute to the rivalry 908 00:43:58,107 --> 00:43:58,947 Speaker 22: between the two teams. 909 00:43:58,947 --> 00:44:00,707 Speaker 20: It was an incredible test match. 910 00:44:02,147 --> 00:44:06,267 Speaker 22: And poignantly at Ellis Park, where the two teams have 911 00:44:06,427 --> 00:44:09,547 Speaker 22: played eight times since ninety ninety six. The average score 912 00:44:09,587 --> 00:44:13,307 Speaker 22: is thirty one to thirty point eight for the All Blacks. 913 00:44:13,307 --> 00:44:15,387 Speaker 22: I thought at one stage at thirty one twenty seven, 914 00:44:15,747 --> 00:44:16,507 Speaker 22: oh my god. 915 00:44:16,347 --> 00:44:18,267 Speaker 20: It's going to end thirty two twenty one.

It was It's the kind of 919 00:44:24,707 --> 00:44:27,947 Speaker 22: World Cup Final of last year reversed. There's just such 920 00:44:27,987 --> 00:44:30,187 Speaker 22: incredible reverence and respect for the All Blacks in this 921 00:44:30,267 --> 00:44:31,827 Speaker 22: country and in the rivalry. 922 00:44:31,427 --> 00:44:34,307 Speaker 20: And this is an all Black team. That's that's maturing. 923 00:44:34,387 --> 00:44:36,667 Speaker 20: It's in its first year with Scott Robertson. It's a 924 00:44:36,747 --> 00:44:37,907 Speaker 20: very settled Springbok team. 925 00:44:37,947 --> 00:44:40,387 Speaker 22: But my goodness, one occasion I'm going to have to 926 00:44:40,467 --> 00:44:42,947 Speaker 22: watch the Test match several times as week I could 927 00:44:42,947 --> 00:44:45,667 Speaker 22: probably give you an informed opinion of the Test match 928 00:44:45,907 --> 00:44:47,227 Speaker 22: from a Slavian perspective. 929 00:44:47,947 --> 00:44:48,867 Speaker 20: We got the result. 930 00:44:49,107 --> 00:44:50,747 Speaker 22: It's great that we get to go again in Cape 931 00:44:50,787 --> 00:44:51,827 Speaker 22: Town in a week's time. 932 00:44:51,867 --> 00:44:55,267 Speaker 20: But everyone spoke about this is the World Cup. 933 00:44:55,107 --> 00:44:58,027 Speaker 22: Final revisitor and my goodness, did they not produce something 934 00:44:58,067 --> 00:44:59,107 Speaker 22: quite spectacular again? 935 00:44:59,267 --> 00:45:01,907 Speaker 2: Yeah, what a titanic Test match for sure. How much 936 00:45:01,947 --> 00:45:05,027 Speaker 2: did the yellow card for New Zealand later on open 937 00:45:05,067 --> 00:45:07,747 Speaker 2: the door marked reckon for the spring Box to come back. 938 00:45:07,747 --> 00:45:10,267 Speaker 2: They were ten points down with twelve minutes to play 939 00:45:10,267 --> 00:45:12,107 Speaker 2: at that point and then just rolled over the top. 940 00:45:12,187 --> 00:45:15,027 Speaker 2: How important was the new miracle advantage? 941 00:45:16,107 --> 00:45:17,547 Speaker 20: Yeah, look, I think that there's two. 942 00:45:17,587 --> 00:45:20,227 Speaker 22: I've been looking on social media and obviously after reports, 943 00:45:20,227 --> 00:45:21,187 Speaker 22: and there's been a few things. 944 00:45:21,187 --> 00:45:23,067 Speaker 20: I mean, I don't think bonds try was a try, 945 00:45:23,107 --> 00:45:24,747 Speaker 20: but I also don't think New Zealand's first try was 946 00:45:24,747 --> 00:45:27,747 Speaker 20: a try technically, but nothing was revisited. But that was 947 00:45:27,747 --> 00:45:29,027 Speaker 20: in the first ten minutes of the Test. 948 00:45:29,107 --> 00:45:31,867 Speaker 22: So you don't lose a Test match in the first 949 00:45:31,867 --> 00:45:34,107 Speaker 22: ten minutes, you lose it at the last ten minutes. 950 00:45:34,507 --> 00:45:35,267 Speaker 20: The big thing for me. 951 00:45:35,307 --> 00:45:38,067 Speaker 22: Was that twenty seven to seventeen, the momentum was with 952 00:45:38,187 --> 00:45:38,747 Speaker 22: New Zealand. 953 00:45:38,907 --> 00:45:40,867 Speaker 20: This is altitude, this is Test rugby. 954 00:45:41,067 --> 00:45:43,707 Speaker 22: You scored your four tries, they get a penalty to 955 00:45:43,747 --> 00:45:46,187 Speaker 22: go thirty seventeen up and they don't take it, and 956 00:45:46,267 --> 00:45:48,467 Speaker 22: it was pretty much a gimmy and they kept for 957 00:45:48,507 --> 00:45:51,067 Speaker 22: the corner and they got turned over, so that feel 958 00:45:51,107 --> 00:45:53,867 Speaker 22: clear by thirty thirty meters within a minute they got 959 00:45:53,947 --> 00:45:56,227 Speaker 22: yellow carded, so that forgets back in the game of 960 00:45:56,227 --> 00:45:58,467 Speaker 22: scores twenty seven to twenty four and we've got a 961 00:45:58,547 --> 00:46:00,707 Speaker 22: hum dinner for the last ten minutes, and that to 962 00:46:00,747 --> 00:46:03,187 Speaker 22: me was the pivotal moment at like I think sixty three, 963 00:46:03,227 --> 00:46:06,827 Speaker 22: sixty four minutes thirty seventeen, I don't know I would 964 00:46:06,827 --> 00:46:07,307 Speaker 22: have come back. 965 00:46:07,587 --> 00:46:09,827 Speaker 20: It's that psychological too converted trials. 966 00:46:10,507 --> 00:46:12,507 Speaker 22: But for New Zealand to kick to the corner for 967 00:46:12,827 --> 00:46:15,347 Speaker 22: what you know, they may have felt they had momentum 968 00:46:15,427 --> 00:46:17,867 Speaker 22: or whatever. But test match rugby in Sola Africa, when 969 00:46:17,867 --> 00:46:19,387 Speaker 22: you got the box twenty seven to seven and you 970 00:46:19,387 --> 00:46:21,907 Speaker 22: can go thirty seventeen, you take three points. And I 971 00:46:22,587 --> 00:46:24,827 Speaker 22: was perplexed by that decision. I think maybe that's going 972 00:46:24,907 --> 00:46:27,587 Speaker 22: to be one of Scott Robinson's big learnings in terms 973 00:46:27,627 --> 00:46:29,707 Speaker 22: of Test match rugby as opposed to supermat rugby. 974 00:46:30,187 --> 00:46:32,107 Speaker 2: Indeed, No, it's a great point you make, and I 975 00:46:32,147 --> 00:46:34,627 Speaker 2: think there's a few heads being scratched over the side 976 00:46:34,627 --> 00:46:37,227 Speaker 2: of the world as well about that very decision. How 977 00:46:37,267 --> 00:46:40,067 Speaker 2: important Mark, do you think the impact of South Africa's 978 00:46:40,067 --> 00:46:40,947 Speaker 2: bench was? 979 00:46:42,627 --> 00:46:43,907 Speaker 20: Look, No, it was always going to be. 980 00:46:43,987 --> 00:46:45,507 Speaker 22: I mean all the previous we did this week, we 981 00:46:45,507 --> 00:46:47,387 Speaker 22: looked at the two starting fifteen's and you see there's 982 00:46:47,427 --> 00:46:48,787 Speaker 22: very little choose between them. 983 00:46:49,067 --> 00:46:50,587 Speaker 20: You looked at it at the wall cup, very little 984 00:46:50,667 --> 00:46:51,267 Speaker 20: chooth behind them. 985 00:46:51,267 --> 00:46:52,827 Speaker 22: But then you looked at the bench and you just thought, 986 00:46:53,587 --> 00:46:56,107 Speaker 22: come the last twenty minutes they effectively put on a 987 00:46:56,107 --> 00:46:58,947 Speaker 22: starting they'd put on a starting pack and New Zealand 988 00:46:59,227 --> 00:47:03,187 Speaker 22: currently just doesn't have that depth and that was fundamental 989 00:47:03,187 --> 00:47:04,467 Speaker 22: to the outcome of this Test match. 990 00:47:04,467 --> 00:47:06,787 Speaker 20: I just think the quality of the New Zealand performance. 991 00:47:06,547 --> 00:47:09,987 Speaker 22: Was that up until that seventieth minute they were in 992 00:47:10,027 --> 00:47:12,867 Speaker 22: the contest, they were effectively leading the contest and they 993 00:47:12,867 --> 00:47:14,667 Speaker 22: had played that well. I haven't seen the New Zealand 994 00:47:14,667 --> 00:47:18,307 Speaker 22: team come to Ellis Park and play with such presence 995 00:47:18,387 --> 00:47:22,427 Speaker 22: and such composure and such energy and intelligence as this 996 00:47:22,507 --> 00:47:23,787 Speaker 22: one did in the first forty minutes. 997 00:47:23,827 --> 00:47:25,427 Speaker 20: But I always doubted when it got to. 998 00:47:25,387 --> 00:47:28,107 Speaker 22: Seventy minutes whether they would have the cattle to come 999 00:47:28,107 --> 00:47:29,947 Speaker 22: off the bench. And I think that's going to be 1000 00:47:29,987 --> 00:47:34,227 Speaker 22: his biggest test is building that squad depth. But I 1001 00:47:34,707 --> 00:47:36,787 Speaker 22: thought their performance was I think it's the best performance 1002 00:47:36,787 --> 00:47:41,227 Speaker 22: I've seen under Scott Robinson this season. They look clear, 1003 00:47:41,747 --> 00:47:44,147 Speaker 22: they look functional, there was clarity. I thought the pack 1004 00:47:44,267 --> 00:47:46,907 Speaker 22: was outstanding. I'm so not convinced it's the best back 1005 00:47:46,987 --> 00:47:49,467 Speaker 22: line he's got going there. You know, there's you know, 1006 00:47:49,507 --> 00:47:52,707 Speaker 22: whether it's body should start at ten and there should 1007 00:47:52,707 --> 00:47:55,107 Speaker 22: be a different midfield, and they should different be be 1008 00:47:55,147 --> 00:47:57,947 Speaker 22: a different bactory. But I just thought the pack front 1009 00:47:57,987 --> 00:48:00,307 Speaker 22: it'd superbly in the most incredible conditions. 1010 00:48:00,347 --> 00:48:02,307 Speaker 20: I mean, sixty two thousand people. 1011 00:48:02,347 --> 00:48:06,867 Speaker 22: Nutters that Ellis Park, there's fervor of this spring Box 1012 00:48:06,907 --> 00:48:09,587 Speaker 22: the plane flying over again, and it really reminded me 1013 00:48:09,667 --> 00:48:11,867 Speaker 22: that I was there ninety five. It reminded me so 1014 00:48:11,947 --> 00:48:13,827 Speaker 22: much of that. And it's a credit to this All 1015 00:48:13,867 --> 00:48:16,587 Speaker 22: Black side that they were. They were in the context, 1016 00:48:16,587 --> 00:48:18,467 Speaker 22: but I just felt one or two big decisions. And 1017 00:48:18,547 --> 00:48:20,547 Speaker 22: that comes from a side that settlement's been together for 1018 00:48:20,587 --> 00:48:23,107 Speaker 22: six years and a side that's in its first season. 1019 00:48:23,747 --> 00:48:25,267 Speaker 22: But there's not a hell of a lot between the 1020 00:48:25,267 --> 00:48:26,667 Speaker 22: two teams, and I can tell you know when so 1021 00:48:26,707 --> 00:48:28,187 Speaker 22: that gets us in the next They're gonna have to 1022 00:48:28,187 --> 00:48:29,227 Speaker 22: play very well to win. 1023 00:48:29,387 --> 00:48:32,147 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great analysis. It really is about the settled 1024 00:48:32,227 --> 00:48:34,667 Speaker 2: nature of the South African side. I saw Victor Matfield 1025 00:48:34,747 --> 00:48:38,067 Speaker 2: on Supersports coverage afterwards say this is the best spring 1026 00:48:38,107 --> 00:48:41,347 Speaker 2: Box team we have ever seen. Do you agree with that? 1027 00:48:42,467 --> 00:48:45,027 Speaker 20: Not at all. I think the twenty nineteen would whip them. 1028 00:48:45,187 --> 00:48:49,267 Speaker 22: Okay, the two and nine team that beat the All Blacks, 1029 00:48:49,347 --> 00:48:51,507 Speaker 22: they've been a very special All Black side, and you 1030 00:48:51,547 --> 00:48:53,467 Speaker 22: know they played against some very special or back sides, 1031 00:48:53,467 --> 00:48:55,587 Speaker 22: so everything is relative to And he was part of 1032 00:48:55,627 --> 00:48:58,667 Speaker 22: that magnificent two thousand and seven Worl Cup winning side 1033 00:48:58,787 --> 00:49:00,587 Speaker 22: two thousand and nine that beat the All Blacks three 1034 00:49:00,627 --> 00:49:03,107 Speaker 22: times in succession, beat the British and Irish lines, and 1035 00:49:03,547 --> 00:49:05,667 Speaker 22: you know, but for the odd decision in twenty eleven, 1036 00:49:05,707 --> 00:49:05,987 Speaker 22: I've got. 1037 00:49:05,947 --> 00:49:07,187 Speaker 20: To walk in for that semi final. 1038 00:49:07,227 --> 00:49:10,467 Speaker 22: But no, like everything is, you know, like you know 1039 00:49:10,467 --> 00:49:11,947 Speaker 22: what they say, he's out of side, out of mind. 1040 00:49:12,187 --> 00:49:14,547 Speaker 22: I still believe that two thousand and nine walk upside 1041 00:49:14,747 --> 00:49:17,387 Speaker 22: and the mighty Richie McCaw one hundred and forty. 1042 00:49:17,267 --> 00:49:18,667 Speaker 20: Eight tests fifteen defeats. 1043 00:49:18,747 --> 00:49:20,387 Speaker 22: He says, the team he's played against, and what's the 1044 00:49:20,387 --> 00:49:22,827 Speaker 22: greatest was that that's we walked team of two thousand 1045 00:49:22,867 --> 00:49:25,627 Speaker 22: and nine. So I acknowledge what this team has done 1046 00:49:25,907 --> 00:49:28,547 Speaker 22: and they've they've had wonderful wins. But if I look 1047 00:49:28,547 --> 00:49:30,307 Speaker 22: at the quality of that two thousand and nine side, 1048 00:49:30,347 --> 00:49:31,947 Speaker 22: if I stuck them on the field against this side, 1049 00:49:31,987 --> 00:49:33,507 Speaker 22: I'm back in the two thousand nine side. 1050 00:49:34,507 --> 00:49:36,347 Speaker 2: And just a word on Tony Brown, who of course 1051 00:49:36,427 --> 00:49:39,427 Speaker 2: is now part of the South African coaching setup. Can 1052 00:49:39,467 --> 00:49:41,947 Speaker 2: you see his imprint on this side? 1053 00:49:41,947 --> 00:49:42,187 Speaker 23: Mark? 1054 00:49:43,747 --> 00:49:46,107 Speaker 22: I can, and there's people who are raving about it, 1055 00:49:46,107 --> 00:49:47,707 Speaker 22: and there's people are saying, what the hell's he doing? 1056 00:49:47,747 --> 00:49:49,227 Speaker 20: He's trying to make us play like New Zealand. 1057 00:49:49,467 --> 00:49:54,907 Speaker 22: So there's definitely been an evolution of the side at 1058 00:49:54,907 --> 00:49:57,067 Speaker 22: the moment. And I think also, I think he's had 1059 00:49:57,067 --> 00:49:59,627 Speaker 22: a big say in the young first five sash of 1060 00:49:59,627 --> 00:50:03,147 Speaker 22: Feinberg Gomezzoulu, who I've watched play since he was fifteen 1061 00:50:03,227 --> 00:50:06,107 Speaker 22: sixteen at Bishops in Cape Town. He's just a wonderfully 1062 00:50:06,347 --> 00:50:08,947 Speaker 22: se talent. He's the closest I've ever seen to a 1063 00:50:09,067 --> 00:50:12,067 Speaker 22: Dang Carter type ten and just how naturally he's just 1064 00:50:12,107 --> 00:50:14,107 Speaker 22: going to make mistakes, but he actually owns the game. 1065 00:50:14,107 --> 00:50:16,027 Speaker 20: And I see this wonderful. 1066 00:50:16,227 --> 00:50:19,707 Speaker 22: Kind of evolution of him and this this mentor andship 1067 00:50:19,707 --> 00:50:22,227 Speaker 22: of hundred Pollard with him. So they've got a gem 1068 00:50:22,267 --> 00:50:23,867 Speaker 22: in that. And I looked when I looked at today's 1069 00:50:23,867 --> 00:50:25,627 Speaker 22: Test match as well, it was one of those where 1070 00:50:26,507 --> 00:50:29,987 Speaker 22: so he's come through, Fussy did well today, these individuals 1071 00:50:29,987 --> 00:50:31,387 Speaker 22: that have come through. But I looked at that New 1072 00:50:31,467 --> 00:50:33,787 Speaker 22: Zealand side, I thought Scott Robinson would go away and 1073 00:50:33,827 --> 00:50:35,747 Speaker 22: say they packed did particularly well. 1074 00:50:35,987 --> 00:50:39,027 Speaker 20: Certain people did well, but he knows Richie Wonga has 1075 00:50:39,027 --> 00:50:41,027 Speaker 20: got to come back. That's his tent. You know, if 1076 00:50:41,067 --> 00:50:42,707 Speaker 20: you had a Brodie were Retallic and a Shannon for 1077 00:50:42,707 --> 00:50:45,627 Speaker 20: a Zell in that pack, what a difference. So the big. 1078 00:50:45,427 --> 00:50:47,787 Speaker 22: Discussion in South Africa is you've got three of the 1079 00:50:47,787 --> 00:50:49,507 Speaker 22: best players in the world and they're playing off Shawan, 1080 00:50:49,547 --> 00:50:50,267 Speaker 22: you don't pick them. 1081 00:50:50,587 --> 00:50:52,467 Speaker 20: We did that and we were seventh in the world. 1082 00:50:52,667 --> 00:50:54,747 Speaker 22: We then started picking off short players and we became 1083 00:50:54,787 --> 00:50:56,587 Speaker 22: world champions two times in. 1084 00:50:56,547 --> 00:50:57,947 Speaker 20: A row and we number one in the world. 1085 00:50:58,187 --> 00:51:01,547 Speaker 22: So it's when New Zealand starts picking the best twenty 1086 00:51:01,547 --> 00:51:02,267 Speaker 22: three available. 1087 00:51:02,387 --> 00:51:03,867 Speaker 20: I don't know, it's going to be a very different 1088 00:51:03,867 --> 00:51:04,747 Speaker 20: ballgame at the moment. 1089 00:51:04,787 --> 00:51:07,387 Speaker 2: Oh, you've opened up that can of words for our listeners, Mark, 1090 00:51:07,427 --> 00:51:10,707 Speaker 2: I love it. Another another chapter in the storied history 1091 00:51:10,747 --> 00:51:13,467 Speaker 2: between these two sides. Really appreciate you joining us to 1092 00:51:13,467 --> 00:51:14,987 Speaker 2: break it down across New Zealand today. 1093 00:51:16,147 --> 00:51:18,547 Speaker 20: All right, thanks mate, and down to all New Zealanders. 1094 00:51:18,627 --> 00:51:20,347 Speaker 22: Just you know, what a performance from your team and 1095 00:51:20,587 --> 00:51:22,547 Speaker 22: we've been on the receiving one of those close ones. 1096 00:51:22,907 --> 00:51:24,667 Speaker 20: But the tide's going to turn pretty quickly. 1097 00:51:24,707 --> 00:51:27,147 Speaker 22: I can tell you that now this side's coming and 1098 00:51:27,267 --> 00:51:28,747 Speaker 22: save your side's going to be on red alert. 1099 00:51:28,787 --> 00:51:31,347 Speaker 2: Good on you make appreciate your time again. Mark Keohane, 1100 00:51:31,667 --> 00:51:36,387 Speaker 2: South African journalist, commentator, analyst, astute observer of the game 1101 00:51:36,867 --> 00:51:39,067 Speaker 2: one seventeen. We've got time for some more calls, if 1102 00:51:39,067 --> 00:51:40,907 Speaker 2: you'd like to jump aboard and give you all reaction. 1103 00:51:40,987 --> 00:51:43,427 Speaker 2: We didn't get everybody on the air before one o'clock. 1104 00:51:43,467 --> 00:51:45,107 Speaker 2: It was a full board most of the time. If 1105 00:51:45,147 --> 00:51:47,587 Speaker 2: you'd like to take your chances now, Oh, eight hundred 1106 00:51:47,587 --> 00:51:50,947 Speaker 2: and eighty eighty is our number. Nine two nine two 1107 00:51:51,347 --> 00:51:53,627 Speaker 2: is the text line. Got a bunch of texts which 1108 00:51:53,627 --> 00:51:56,707 Speaker 2: I'll try to get to email us Jason at NEWSTALKSEDB 1109 00:51:56,827 --> 00:52:00,827 Speaker 2: dot co dot nz. They're into a second set tiebreaker 1110 00:52:01,347 --> 00:52:05,347 Speaker 2: Alex D. Manure and Daniel Evans Demono won the first 1111 00:52:05,387 --> 00:52:07,667 Speaker 2: set six to three, six all in the second and 1112 00:52:07,747 --> 00:52:10,707 Speaker 2: Evans leads for to one in the tiebreak, so looking 1113 00:52:10,707 --> 00:52:14,147 Speaker 2: to square it up at one set a piece. Danil Medvedev, 1114 00:52:14,587 --> 00:52:16,947 Speaker 2: the fifth seed, is about to take the court as 1115 00:52:16,987 --> 00:52:19,867 Speaker 2: well on Arthur Rash. I think Demonir and Evans are 1116 00:52:19,987 --> 00:52:24,387 Speaker 2: on Louis Armstrong Arena. Did you think that the South 1117 00:52:24,427 --> 00:52:28,747 Speaker 2: Africans were just massive men? I saw that they put 1118 00:52:28,747 --> 00:52:31,507 Speaker 2: the pack weights up at one stage and they were 1119 00:52:31,507 --> 00:52:36,307 Speaker 2: pretty similar really, but they just look enormous, don't they. 1120 00:52:36,707 --> 00:52:40,307 Speaker 2: The South African forwards. I looked at to Mighty Williams 1121 00:52:40,347 --> 00:52:43,627 Speaker 2: and he's a big guy, a big, big unit, but 1122 00:52:43,747 --> 00:52:48,187 Speaker 2: he looks small by comparison to some of the South 1123 00:52:48,227 --> 00:52:53,707 Speaker 2: African guys. It was just so And what impressed me 1124 00:52:53,827 --> 00:52:58,667 Speaker 2: was how we we match them physically. All the talk 1125 00:52:58,747 --> 00:53:00,547 Speaker 2: during the week was about physicality, or a lot of 1126 00:53:00,587 --> 00:53:03,267 Speaker 2: it anyway, and how if you know, if you don't 1127 00:53:03,267 --> 00:53:05,547 Speaker 2: match South Africa physically, you might not turn up. 1128 00:53:05,987 --> 00:53:06,107 Speaker 24: Well. 1129 00:53:06,347 --> 00:53:09,307 Speaker 2: Thought we did and I thought Sam Kine led that thought. 1130 00:53:09,347 --> 00:53:12,627 Speaker 2: Cody Taylor, like I said before, was excellent Ethan Blackadder 1131 00:53:12,667 --> 00:53:17,707 Speaker 2: as well. I thought we really matched them physically. Our 1132 00:53:17,747 --> 00:53:19,667 Speaker 2: set piece was good again, we didn't lose a scrum. 1133 00:53:20,467 --> 00:53:24,147 Speaker 2: The lineouts on the whole were pretty good. But it 1134 00:53:24,267 --> 00:53:29,427 Speaker 2: just stood out to me just what enormous units Africa's 1135 00:53:29,507 --> 00:53:33,347 Speaker 2: players are. Leon says Pinety. You still my thunder. The 1136 00:53:33,427 --> 00:53:35,107 Speaker 2: knock on by the spring box for the first try 1137 00:53:35,187 --> 00:53:38,947 Speaker 2: inexplicably missed. Despite the technology we now have at our disposal. 1138 00:53:39,547 --> 00:53:41,787 Speaker 2: Also by passing the shot at goal to a head scratcher. 1139 00:53:41,787 --> 00:53:43,587 Speaker 2: Even if Damien had missed it, we'd have gotten the 1140 00:53:43,627 --> 00:53:46,867 Speaker 2: ball back with another attacking opportunity. Becking. I still believe 1141 00:53:46,907 --> 00:53:48,587 Speaker 2: we can come back in Cape Town. But Test matches 1142 00:53:48,587 --> 00:53:53,267 Speaker 2: are won by small and important decisions and margins. Thanks Leon, 1143 00:53:53,627 --> 00:53:56,827 Speaker 2: I appreciate it very much. It is one nineteen. 1144 00:53:57,587 --> 00:54:00,347 Speaker 8: Hello John, Hi pony. 1145 00:54:01,307 --> 00:54:03,787 Speaker 18: My view is a little bit different. I'm going back 1146 00:54:03,787 --> 00:54:06,067 Speaker 18: to the preparation for the Test match. I don't think 1147 00:54:06,107 --> 00:54:09,507 Speaker 18: there is and took it seriously enough. The South Africans 1148 00:54:09,547 --> 00:54:12,787 Speaker 18: after the Australian Test, they hauled eleven players out and 1149 00:54:12,827 --> 00:54:15,787 Speaker 18: took them back to train at altitude and they put 1150 00:54:15,907 --> 00:54:18,427 Speaker 18: eleven back and when they when the South Africans played 1151 00:54:18,427 --> 00:54:22,627 Speaker 18: in Perth, they Australia played a B team and we 1152 00:54:22,627 --> 00:54:27,587 Speaker 18: were numpties. We played our second Test against against Argentina 1153 00:54:27,987 --> 00:54:31,227 Speaker 18: and we waited eight days before we took our team 1154 00:54:31,307 --> 00:54:35,987 Speaker 18: to train at altitude. It was and then, as as 1155 00:54:35,987 --> 00:54:38,347 Speaker 18: many of your callers have said, that kick at the 1156 00:54:38,467 --> 00:54:42,747 Speaker 18: end was vital. It gave our players arrest. Whether they 1157 00:54:42,947 --> 00:54:44,947 Speaker 18: whether they got it or not, we would have got 1158 00:54:44,987 --> 00:54:45,547 Speaker 18: the ball back. 1159 00:54:45,867 --> 00:54:46,387 Speaker 11: So just on. 1160 00:54:47,587 --> 00:54:49,507 Speaker 2: Yeah, John, I'm going to come back to that, but 1161 00:54:49,627 --> 00:54:52,667 Speaker 2: just on the on the bit about the team we lost. 1162 00:54:52,747 --> 00:54:54,947 Speaker 2: We lost to Argentina and Wellington, so I think it 1163 00:54:54,947 --> 00:54:57,707 Speaker 2: would have been a very bold move to take out 1164 00:54:57,907 --> 00:55:01,027 Speaker 2: ten or eleven starters for the second Test against Argentina 1165 00:55:01,067 --> 00:55:01,587 Speaker 2: and Auckland. 1166 00:55:02,467 --> 00:55:05,027 Speaker 18: No, I agree. I agree with that, Pinny. What I'm 1167 00:55:05,067 --> 00:55:07,907 Speaker 18: saying is that the ten minutes after the test was over, 1168 00:55:08,347 --> 00:55:11,067 Speaker 18: we should have been on the plane to South Africa. 1169 00:55:11,347 --> 00:55:16,387 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, not wait a week? Yeah they went. They 1170 00:55:16,387 --> 00:55:18,587 Speaker 2: went on the Friday. Yeah, I know, I'm spoiling here. Yeah, 1171 00:55:18,587 --> 00:55:21,187 Speaker 2: they went on the Friday. So what's that year? Six days? Yeah, No, 1172 00:55:21,427 --> 00:55:23,107 Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. So you think the 1173 00:55:24,827 --> 00:55:27,707 Speaker 2: adjusting to the altitude was a big part of what 1174 00:55:27,747 --> 00:55:30,347 Speaker 2: you saw this morning, the non adjustment that happened with 1175 00:55:30,387 --> 00:55:32,987 Speaker 2: only a week there, one hundred percent. 1176 00:55:33,067 --> 00:55:35,987 Speaker 18: When we got to ten twelve minutes to go, we 1177 00:55:36,027 --> 00:55:39,547 Speaker 18: looked like we were puffing and blowing, and that that 1178 00:55:39,627 --> 00:55:43,187 Speaker 18: transpired transpired, I reckon into the way they gave that 1179 00:55:43,227 --> 00:55:47,387 Speaker 18: penalty away. We just flopped on the ball. We didn't 1180 00:55:47,587 --> 00:55:51,387 Speaker 18: we had no energy left, Piney. We just didn't take 1181 00:55:51,427 --> 00:55:54,907 Speaker 18: it seriously enough. South Africa wanted to beat us. They 1182 00:55:54,987 --> 00:55:58,427 Speaker 18: took their players out of out from Melbourne straight back 1183 00:55:58,467 --> 00:56:03,307 Speaker 18: to training at altitude and we were left with what 1184 00:56:03,347 --> 00:56:05,627 Speaker 18: the result is. It'll be a different game when we 1185 00:56:05,707 --> 00:56:08,587 Speaker 18: get to Cape down and we're at sea level. But 1186 00:56:08,907 --> 00:56:11,707 Speaker 18: you know, we just we have to take these things. 1187 00:56:12,187 --> 00:56:13,707 Speaker 18: We have to treat them with respect. 1188 00:56:15,867 --> 00:56:16,707 Speaker 2: Thanks for you call, John. 1189 00:56:16,787 --> 00:56:17,067 Speaker 8: Yeah, I. 1190 00:56:18,827 --> 00:56:22,627 Speaker 2: Trying to figure out whether not going as soon as 1191 00:56:22,627 --> 00:56:26,427 Speaker 2: physically possible, i e. The next day, is not taking 1192 00:56:26,427 --> 00:56:30,147 Speaker 2: it seriously. I don't think any of your Blacks team 1193 00:56:30,227 --> 00:56:33,347 Speaker 2: against South Africa has never not taken it seriously. But John, 1194 00:56:33,587 --> 00:56:37,707 Speaker 2: I don't mean to, you know, downplay your point that, yes, 1195 00:56:37,747 --> 00:56:41,827 Speaker 2: physically they could have. They played against Argentina and Auckland 1196 00:56:41,867 --> 00:56:43,987 Speaker 2: on the seventeenth of August. That was a Saturday night, 1197 00:56:44,827 --> 00:56:48,467 Speaker 2: so feasibly they could have gone the next day, eighteenth 1198 00:56:48,507 --> 00:56:50,867 Speaker 2: of August, and that would have given them two weeks 1199 00:56:51,267 --> 00:56:55,667 Speaker 2: in Joe Burke, would it have made a material difference? 1200 00:56:55,707 --> 00:56:59,227 Speaker 2: Maybe we will never know. I guess you always talk 1201 00:56:59,227 --> 00:57:04,147 Speaker 2: about acclimatizing, especially when you go to altitude. Yeah, maybe 1202 00:57:04,147 --> 00:57:07,147 Speaker 2: if they had been there for two weeks, would it 1203 00:57:07,147 --> 00:57:09,307 Speaker 2: would have made a material difference. I appreciate you bringing 1204 00:57:09,307 --> 00:57:11,947 Speaker 2: it up, John oh eight one hundred and eighty ten 1205 00:57:12,027 --> 00:57:13,787 Speaker 2: eighty one twenty three. We're back after this with more 1206 00:57:13,787 --> 00:57:14,347 Speaker 2: of your calls. 1207 00:57:14,867 --> 00:57:20,507 Speaker 1: One crutch Hold Engage Weekend Sport with Jason Tame and GJ. 1208 00:57:20,667 --> 00:57:24,067 Speaker 1: Gunner Homes New Zealand's lost trusted home Builder News Talks 1209 00:57:24,107 --> 00:57:24,867 Speaker 1: to Bailey. 1210 00:57:25,027 --> 00:57:26,787 Speaker 2: News Talks will be one twenty six couple of text. 1211 00:57:26,867 --> 00:57:28,627 Speaker 2: Joe says Jason. The officials need to be seen to 1212 00:57:28,667 --> 00:57:30,747 Speaker 2: be held to account for the glaring miss of the 1213 00:57:30,827 --> 00:57:34,347 Speaker 2: knock on for South Africa's first try. It's an indefensible 1214 00:57:34,507 --> 00:57:36,947 Speaker 2: error when we know how quick they can be to 1215 00:57:36,987 --> 00:57:39,707 Speaker 2: pick up on marginal head high tackles Joe. It's a 1216 00:57:39,707 --> 00:57:44,507 Speaker 2: good point again. I just want to reiterate, just so 1217 00:57:44,587 --> 00:57:49,147 Speaker 2: that there's no confusion here. My view, and you might 1218 00:57:49,187 --> 00:57:51,587 Speaker 2: not share my view, is that it didn't cost us 1219 00:57:51,587 --> 00:57:54,987 Speaker 2: the game. The reason we lost the game wasn't the 1220 00:57:54,987 --> 00:57:57,827 Speaker 2: missed knock on and what was it the tenth eleventh 1221 00:57:57,827 --> 00:58:05,067 Speaker 2: minute of the game. But the missed call still needs examination. 1222 00:58:06,547 --> 00:58:09,627 Speaker 2: There still needs to be an explanation given as to 1223 00:58:09,787 --> 00:58:14,547 Speaker 2: why on Earth it wasn't looked at by the TMO. 1224 00:58:14,707 --> 00:58:16,787 Speaker 2: At the risk of repeating what I said last hour, 1225 00:58:17,387 --> 00:58:21,587 Speaker 2: at the very very least, there is doubt as to 1226 00:58:21,627 --> 00:58:27,107 Speaker 2: whether he's got that down without knocking it on. There's 1227 00:58:27,867 --> 00:58:31,907 Speaker 2: doubt that he achieved contact with the ball all the 1228 00:58:31,947 --> 00:58:35,947 Speaker 2: way down to the tryline. So why not just take 1229 00:58:35,987 --> 00:58:39,947 Speaker 2: time off and have a look at it. As Joja said, 1230 00:58:39,947 --> 00:58:43,667 Speaker 2: they in forensic detail examine things like head high tackles. 1231 00:58:43,747 --> 00:58:48,227 Speaker 2: I'll go back five or six phases on things referred. 1232 00:58:48,267 --> 00:58:51,187 Speaker 2: It even take time off for the TMO to have 1233 00:58:51,187 --> 00:58:53,907 Speaker 2: a look at it. I know the TMO as the 1234 00:58:53,947 --> 00:58:55,867 Speaker 2: one who says to the referee, hete I think we 1235 00:58:55,867 --> 00:58:58,147 Speaker 2: should have a look at this, So why didn't he? 1236 00:58:58,947 --> 00:59:01,987 Speaker 2: Why didn't he? It just doesn't make sense. It's not 1237 00:59:02,027 --> 00:59:04,387 Speaker 2: the reason they lost the game, but it's a talking point. 1238 00:59:04,587 --> 00:59:08,147 Speaker 2: It's being talked about all over the place. There was 1239 00:59:08,307 --> 00:59:10,507 Speaker 2: Art's embarrassing that we're talking about this. We're focusing on 1240 00:59:10,547 --> 00:59:12,347 Speaker 2: this one thing. I think we're focused on quite a 1241 00:59:12,347 --> 00:59:15,507 Speaker 2: few things in the last ninety minutes or so, but 1242 00:59:15,827 --> 00:59:18,787 Speaker 2: that is it's a talking point. No matter which way 1243 00:59:18,827 --> 00:59:20,947 Speaker 2: you look at it, No matter which way you look 1244 00:59:20,987 --> 00:59:26,227 Speaker 2: at it, Michael says pintly, when you climb Mount Everest, 1245 00:59:26,547 --> 00:59:28,547 Speaker 2: you go to base camp for a week to acclimatize. 1246 00:59:28,587 --> 00:59:32,427 Speaker 2: You don't climb the mountain straight away. I believe the 1247 00:59:32,467 --> 00:59:36,787 Speaker 2: extra cost of accommodation, security, etc. Couldn't be justified. But 1248 00:59:36,867 --> 00:59:39,987 Speaker 2: for me, it's win at all costs. I think they probably. 1249 00:59:39,987 --> 00:59:42,667 Speaker 2: I think if Scott Robertson had said, or whoever makes 1250 00:59:42,707 --> 00:59:45,427 Speaker 2: these decisions as a coaching group, management staff, whoever had 1251 00:59:45,467 --> 00:59:49,787 Speaker 2: said to you know, whoever it is to Mark Robinson 1252 00:59:49,827 --> 00:59:51,587 Speaker 2: I presume, or to the board or whatever, Hey, we 1253 00:59:51,707 --> 00:59:55,227 Speaker 2: think if we went to joe Berg the day after 1254 00:59:55,267 --> 00:59:57,547 Speaker 2: the second Argentina Test, that will give us the best 1255 00:59:57,587 --> 00:59:59,627 Speaker 2: possible opportunity to win the test match. I think they 1256 00:59:59,667 --> 01:00:01,587 Speaker 2: probably would have got the green light for it. They 1257 01:00:01,627 --> 01:00:03,707 Speaker 2: probably would have got the tick. So you can only 1258 01:00:03,747 --> 01:00:06,827 Speaker 2: assume that that wasn't something that was suggested to the 1259 01:00:06,827 --> 01:00:09,587 Speaker 2: powers that be. I know they flew out on the Friday, 1260 01:00:10,267 --> 01:00:12,707 Speaker 2: they flew through. It's a long way to South Africa, 1261 01:00:13,187 --> 01:00:16,547 Speaker 2: you know. Again, that perhaps plays into this as well. 1262 01:00:16,867 --> 01:00:18,467 Speaker 2: If they left on the Friday, I think they arrived 1263 01:00:18,467 --> 01:00:22,707 Speaker 2: probably late on Saturday evening local time, so they still 1264 01:00:22,747 --> 01:00:27,387 Speaker 2: had a whole week. And look, we've been traveling up 1265 01:00:27,467 --> 01:00:31,627 Speaker 2: until recently for years to South Africa as Super rugby 1266 01:00:31,667 --> 01:00:36,667 Speaker 2: teams and collected a lot of ip on what is 1267 01:00:36,707 --> 01:00:39,627 Speaker 2: best as far as traveling all that way and getting 1268 01:00:39,707 --> 01:00:42,427 Speaker 2: optimal performance, because the other part of it is if 1269 01:00:42,467 --> 01:00:44,027 Speaker 2: you're there for two weeks, what are you supposed to 1270 01:00:44,107 --> 01:00:47,707 Speaker 2: do for two weeks? And Johannesburg you can't go out, 1271 01:00:48,987 --> 01:00:51,467 Speaker 2: You're stuck inside the hotel room. You go stir crazy 1272 01:00:51,507 --> 01:00:53,507 Speaker 2: a little bit. I know they can do activities and 1273 01:00:53,547 --> 01:00:56,627 Speaker 2: things like that, but that's a long time to build 1274 01:00:56,707 --> 01:00:58,907 Speaker 2: up to a test match. They often say these players 1275 01:00:58,907 --> 01:01:01,947 Speaker 2: that the week of a test match drags, especially the 1276 01:01:02,027 --> 01:01:04,987 Speaker 2: last two or three days as they you know, get 1277 01:01:05,147 --> 01:01:07,907 Speaker 2: ready for the battle. So if that's the case over 1278 01:01:08,107 --> 01:01:10,307 Speaker 2: a week long build up, what would it be like 1279 01:01:10,347 --> 01:01:13,387 Speaker 2: over two weeks. Here's Damien McKinsey post match with our 1280 01:01:13,507 --> 01:01:15,707 Speaker 2: rugby editor and match commentator Elliott Smith. 1281 01:01:15,827 --> 01:01:18,827 Speaker 4: Damie McKenzie Demien thoughts on was a pretty tough test match. 1282 01:01:19,867 --> 01:01:22,147 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a It was a tough tough test match. 1283 01:01:22,147 --> 01:01:24,787 Speaker 10: Obviously you're easy playing over here he else Park, But 1284 01:01:24,827 --> 01:01:27,107 Speaker 10: I think you know, we've done enough in first half 1285 01:01:27,107 --> 01:01:30,387 Speaker 10: and particularly sort of the first quarter the second half to 1286 01:01:31,627 --> 01:01:33,747 Speaker 10: do enough to win. And I guess, Yeah, we kind 1287 01:01:33,747 --> 01:01:35,267 Speaker 10: of a little bit foot off the peel in the 1288 01:01:35,347 --> 01:01:39,587 Speaker 10: last fifteen twenty little bit of discipline and particular against 1289 01:01:39,587 --> 01:01:42,027 Speaker 10: the South African side, you can't give them that opportunity. 1290 01:01:42,067 --> 01:01:44,107 Speaker 10: So yeah, a little bit disappointing, but we know. 1291 01:01:44,027 --> 01:01:44,987 Speaker 2: That some good stuff there too. 1292 01:01:45,107 --> 01:01:47,387 Speaker 4: Yeah, the last twenty minutes, I guess the crucial part 1293 01:01:47,387 --> 01:01:49,067 Speaker 4: of the game. You lead by ten points but just 1294 01:01:49,107 --> 01:01:51,907 Speaker 4: couldn't quite close it out with How crucial was that 1295 01:01:51,907 --> 01:01:53,947 Speaker 4: discipline later on that just you couldn't quite get right. 1296 01:01:54,187 --> 01:01:55,827 Speaker 10: Yeah, we kind of put ourselves under a little bit 1297 01:01:55,827 --> 01:02:00,027 Speaker 10: of pressure by our discipline and ah yeah, so they 1298 01:02:00,107 --> 01:02:02,347 Speaker 10: putting us in the corners in great suit piece sab 1299 01:02:02,347 --> 01:02:04,787 Speaker 10: Ashkan boys. So yeah, I think we're have to something 1300 01:02:04,827 --> 01:02:07,547 Speaker 10: we have a look at and around, I guess, making 1301 01:02:07,547 --> 01:02:09,067 Speaker 10: sure we don't take the foot off the throat around 1302 01:02:09,067 --> 01:02:12,307 Speaker 10: that last twenty minutes, making sure we're still playing rugby 1303 01:02:12,307 --> 01:02:13,707 Speaker 10: and backing ourselves. 1304 01:02:13,787 --> 01:02:15,587 Speaker 4: Do you feel, you know, scoring twenty seven points at 1305 01:02:15,587 --> 01:02:18,107 Speaker 4: als Park, You know that the attack clicks, but maybe 1306 01:02:18,187 --> 01:02:20,467 Speaker 4: just you're not far away from getting that performance that 1307 01:02:20,547 --> 01:02:21,667 Speaker 4: maybe next week in cap Down. 1308 01:02:21,907 --> 01:02:22,387 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. 1309 01:02:22,427 --> 01:02:24,227 Speaker 10: I think there were some great moments tonight with our 1310 01:02:24,227 --> 01:02:28,147 Speaker 10: attack scored some good tries off set piece. I think 1311 01:02:28,147 --> 01:02:30,227 Speaker 10: particularly early on in the first half we looked really 1312 01:02:30,267 --> 01:02:32,587 Speaker 10: good on our attacking side of the ball, and yeah, 1313 01:02:32,627 --> 01:02:35,387 Speaker 10: I think we had periods we were great. So I 1314 01:02:35,387 --> 01:02:37,547 Speaker 10: don't think it's far far away in terms of clicking 1315 01:02:37,547 --> 01:02:40,387 Speaker 10: and putting it all together. So that's eighty minute game, 1316 01:02:40,547 --> 01:02:41,907 Speaker 10: so it's all we got to put everything together for. 1317 01:02:42,067 --> 01:02:45,147 Speaker 4: It was a real battle of kicking, technical and also 1318 01:02:45,187 --> 01:02:47,187 Speaker 4: penalty kicking as well out there. How did you find 1319 01:02:47,187 --> 01:02:49,347 Speaker 4: it as a ten sort of navigating what was going 1320 01:02:49,347 --> 01:02:49,827 Speaker 4: on out there? 1321 01:02:50,027 --> 01:02:51,267 Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously there's a lot of kicking. 1322 01:02:51,667 --> 01:02:54,947 Speaker 10: I've got some great kickers on their side and probably 1323 01:02:55,147 --> 01:02:57,027 Speaker 10: maybe lost that bet or late in the second half 1324 01:02:57,907 --> 01:02:58,787 Speaker 10: they kicked really well. 1325 01:02:58,787 --> 01:03:01,027 Speaker 2: We probably kicked maybe a little bit of ball away. 1326 01:03:01,067 --> 01:03:03,547 Speaker 10: But I still think there was times where we did 1327 01:03:03,547 --> 01:03:05,747 Speaker 10: a good job in terms of that. And yeah, again 1328 01:03:05,907 --> 01:03:07,867 Speaker 10: when yeah, your discipline is not as good as it 1329 01:03:07,867 --> 01:03:09,507 Speaker 10: should be, put you on in a little bit of appresciure. 1330 01:03:09,507 --> 01:03:11,387 Speaker 10: But like I said, I think there's some good stuff 1331 01:03:11,387 --> 01:03:13,347 Speaker 10: there that we know we can take away into next 1332 01:03:13,347 --> 01:03:14,787 Speaker 10: weekend and put it all together. 1333 01:03:16,227 --> 01:03:18,907 Speaker 2: It's Damien McKenzie speaking with Elliot Smith after the game. 1334 01:03:18,947 --> 01:03:23,427 Speaker 2: He also caught up with starting prop Tyrol Lomax commiserations. 1335 01:03:23,427 --> 01:03:25,667 Speaker 4: It was a tough test out there. What did you 1336 01:03:25,707 --> 01:03:28,387 Speaker 4: make of I guess that the physical encounter that it was. 1337 01:03:29,507 --> 01:03:33,427 Speaker 25: Yeah, they played exactly how we expected them to direct physical. 1338 01:03:35,187 --> 01:03:38,347 Speaker 2: I thought we played really well from large parts. 1339 01:03:38,187 --> 01:03:38,587 Speaker 22: Of that game. 1340 01:03:38,587 --> 01:03:41,667 Speaker 25: It's just yeah, so that looks quite disapparning. 1341 01:03:41,947 --> 01:03:43,827 Speaker 4: You had a unique position, You're office off by that 1342 01:03:43,867 --> 01:03:45,707 Speaker 4: point in time, but the last twenty minutes just didn't 1343 01:03:45,707 --> 01:03:47,627 Speaker 4: feel like it clicked as well as the first hour. 1344 01:03:47,667 --> 01:03:49,347 Speaker 4: What were you seeing from the touch line? 1345 01:03:49,627 --> 01:03:52,107 Speaker 25: Yeah, it's going to be a lot more clinical, a 1346 01:03:52,147 --> 01:03:55,307 Speaker 25: lot more discipline. Gave them too many locks inside our 1347 01:03:55,347 --> 01:03:55,787 Speaker 25: twenty two. 1348 01:03:56,587 --> 01:03:58,187 Speaker 4: Does it feel like if you fixed that up then 1349 01:03:58,387 --> 01:04:01,147 Speaker 4: seven days time in Cape Town, then you can capitalize 1350 01:04:01,267 --> 01:04:02,547 Speaker 4: and get a win over the spring Box on. 1351 01:04:02,627 --> 01:04:05,387 Speaker 25: One hundred percent. Like I said with a fellow, we're 1352 01:04:05,387 --> 01:04:09,067 Speaker 25: on top for a part of that game, come out 1353 01:04:09,107 --> 01:04:11,467 Speaker 25: a half time, had a really good fifteen minutes after that, 1354 01:04:11,627 --> 01:04:14,067 Speaker 25: so a lot of positives to take. It's just yeah, 1355 01:04:14,107 --> 01:04:17,267 Speaker 25: that last ten to fifteen minutes were going to be better. 1356 01:04:17,427 --> 01:04:19,067 Speaker 4: How did you find the ford battle of the scrum 1357 01:04:19,107 --> 01:04:23,067 Speaker 4: battle throughout that match? Was pretty ding dong, wasn't it. 1358 01:04:23,347 --> 01:04:23,667 Speaker 9: It was? 1359 01:04:23,747 --> 01:04:25,027 Speaker 25: Yeah? 1360 01:04:25,307 --> 01:04:25,947 Speaker 4: Like I said, they. 1361 01:04:27,627 --> 01:04:28,387 Speaker 7: We know how they play. 1362 01:04:28,427 --> 01:04:31,267 Speaker 25: They played direct, physical, They want to scrum your line out, 1363 01:04:32,027 --> 01:04:33,827 Speaker 25: and I thought we competed really well in that area. 1364 01:04:33,867 --> 01:04:35,587 Speaker 25: A few scrums, we just let them get what they 1365 01:04:35,627 --> 01:04:37,267 Speaker 25: want around the setup. 1366 01:04:37,307 --> 01:04:39,947 Speaker 7: So yeah, we'll review that and be a lot better 1367 01:04:40,027 --> 01:04:40,387 Speaker 7: next week. 1368 01:04:40,507 --> 01:04:40,707 Speaker 20: Yeah. 1369 01:04:40,707 --> 01:04:43,587 Speaker 4: But if you feel that the team last couple of performances, Wellington, 1370 01:04:43,627 --> 01:04:46,267 Speaker 4: perhaps aside that you are building to some really good 1371 01:04:46,307 --> 01:04:47,067 Speaker 4: stuff at the moment. 1372 01:04:49,347 --> 01:04:53,707 Speaker 25: Yeah, definitely, we're looking like a lot better team. Yeah, 1373 01:04:53,707 --> 01:04:56,867 Speaker 25: it's just clinical and those real crucial moments. 1374 01:04:57,107 --> 01:05:00,507 Speaker 2: It's to Rollomax. Speaking with our rugby editor Elliott Smith 1375 01:05:00,667 --> 01:05:04,467 Speaker 2: post game a couple more texts before we pivot into 1376 01:05:04,547 --> 01:05:07,027 Speaker 2: a different topic, Piney says Cross he saw the first 1377 01:05:07,027 --> 01:05:08,947 Speaker 2: hour of the Test. I thought it was the most 1378 01:05:08,987 --> 01:05:11,427 Speaker 2: complete performance I've seen from an all Black team in 1379 01:05:11,427 --> 01:05:13,427 Speaker 2: a very long time. Chris, I have to agree that 1380 01:05:13,587 --> 01:05:16,507 Speaker 2: the first hour was good, very good, excellent in fact 1381 01:05:16,707 --> 01:05:21,387 Speaker 2: in many facets. Unfortunately, the last fifteen cost us Ponty 1382 01:05:21,387 --> 01:05:22,947 Speaker 2: shure that have been a penalty try when they got 1383 01:05:22,947 --> 01:05:24,827 Speaker 2: a yellow card for a professional fowl as we were 1384 01:05:24,827 --> 01:05:27,267 Speaker 2: going for the try, yeah, I have that suggested. I 1385 01:05:27,267 --> 01:05:28,667 Speaker 2: don't think it would have mattered if it was a 1386 01:05:28,667 --> 01:05:30,467 Speaker 2: penalty try or not. The fact is he got the 1387 01:05:30,507 --> 01:05:33,387 Speaker 2: yellow card. We scored a try straight away after that 1388 01:05:33,427 --> 01:05:36,267 Speaker 2: through Cody Taylor and it was converted, so you know, 1389 01:05:36,427 --> 01:05:38,467 Speaker 2: I don't think it made a material difference to the game, 1390 01:05:38,507 --> 01:05:41,587 Speaker 2: but it's an interesting talking point. So a yellow card 1391 01:05:41,627 --> 01:05:44,587 Speaker 2: for both sides. Unfortunately, the one for the All Blacks 1392 01:05:44,667 --> 01:05:46,747 Speaker 2: was late in the game and allowed, as I've mentioned 1393 01:05:46,747 --> 01:05:48,787 Speaker 2: a couple of times, for the South Africans to take 1394 01:05:48,787 --> 01:05:53,627 Speaker 2: advantage of their new miracle advantage. It is one thirty 1395 01:05:53,627 --> 01:05:58,627 Speaker 2: four News. Round four of Rugby's bunnings En PC continues 1396 01:05:58,667 --> 01:06:01,787 Speaker 2: this afternoon.

But that 1408 01:06:37,187 --> 01:06:40,987 Speaker 23: great occasion this, of course NPC Rugby came to this 1409 01:06:41,147 --> 01:06:44,587 Speaker 23: very venue last year for the first time. Canterbury beat 1410 01:06:44,747 --> 01:06:49,147 Speaker 23: Taranaki on that occasion and today we welcome Wellington. At 1411 01:06:49,147 --> 01:06:51,587 Speaker 23: the moment, we've just seen the last final stages of 1412 01:06:51,827 --> 01:06:54,547 Speaker 23: the curtain rays of the Southbridge Shield, which is between 1413 01:06:54,867 --> 01:06:58,987 Speaker 23: North Canterbury and Alsmere, the one hundred and first playing 1414 01:06:59,027 --> 01:07:01,627 Speaker 23: of the south Bridge Shield, and North Canterbury are going 1415 01:07:01,667 --> 01:07:05,467 Speaker 23: to comfortably defend their shield fifty five eleven. They lead 1416 01:07:05,787 --> 01:07:07,747 Speaker 23: and drew time at the minute. 1417 01:07:08,027 --> 01:07:09,747 Speaker 2: All right, bit of an up and down season so 1418 01:07:09,827 --> 01:07:12,387 Speaker 2: far for Canterbury. Two wins, two losses in the last 1419 01:07:12,427 --> 01:07:15,507 Speaker 2: seven days. They've beaten Auckland twenty seven to twenty one 1420 01:07:15,587 --> 01:07:18,827 Speaker 2: at Eden Park and lost by exactly the same margin 1421 01:07:18,827 --> 01:07:21,827 Speaker 2: to Hawks Bay at home. Why has consistency been hard 1422 01:07:21,867 --> 01:07:23,427 Speaker 2: to find for the Red and Blacks? 1423 01:07:23,667 --> 01:07:26,547 Speaker 23: Yeah quirky, isn't it? That same score line and you 1424 01:07:26,707 --> 01:07:29,467 Speaker 23: open the season with a good win against Northland at 1425 01:07:29,467 --> 01:07:32,667 Speaker 23: home losing up the road to their neighbors Tasman. I 1426 01:07:32,707 --> 01:07:35,467 Speaker 23: think in these what's now being dubbed storm weeks where 1427 01:07:35,507 --> 01:07:38,467 Speaker 23: they're playing all the NBC teams this year have to 1428 01:07:38,507 --> 01:07:40,707 Speaker 23: play three games in the space of eight days. It 1429 01:07:40,827 --> 01:07:45,947 Speaker 23: is a challenge around those short turnarounds and rotating players 1430 01:07:46,187 --> 01:07:48,467 Speaker 23: in and outs. But look it does feel like a 1431 01:07:48,507 --> 01:07:50,347 Speaker 23: bit of a changing of the guard time at the 1432 01:07:50,347 --> 01:07:52,787 Speaker 23: moment for Canterbury. Yes, there are some familiar faces to 1433 01:07:52,867 --> 01:07:55,627 Speaker 23: this afternoon. For example, we've got Joe Moody back for 1434 01:07:55,667 --> 01:07:57,547 Speaker 23: the first time at Lucy had Prop Braiden in or 1435 01:07:58,107 --> 01:08:01,627 Speaker 23: in the centers. But we've got a fifth different halfback 1436 01:08:01,667 --> 01:08:04,227 Speaker 23: and this is their fifth game for Canterbury with Tyson 1437 01:08:04,307 --> 01:08:06,987 Speaker 23: Bealworthy making his day. But we've got another new first 1438 01:08:06,987 --> 01:08:10,627 Speaker 23: five eighth and shouldn't be Archie, So it's you know, 1439 01:08:10,667 --> 01:08:13,227 Speaker 23: guys like Fergus Burt going overseas. There's been a little 1440 01:08:13,227 --> 01:08:16,907 Speaker 23: bit of turnover, a little bit of injury issues as well, 1441 01:08:16,947 --> 01:08:19,867 Speaker 23: but yeah, look Canterbury will be a little bit frustrated. 1442 01:08:19,867 --> 01:08:21,827 Speaker 23: They were, certainly in that game on Wednesday night against 1443 01:08:21,827 --> 01:08:24,427 Speaker 23: Hawks Bay just couldn't get across the line. But I 1444 01:08:24,507 --> 01:08:27,067 Speaker 23: think once they negotiate that this being the third and 1445 01:08:27,147 --> 01:08:29,587 Speaker 23: final of their three games in eight days, they will 1446 01:08:29,627 --> 01:08:32,787 Speaker 23: sort of look more broadly, perhaps feel a bit more 1447 01:08:33,067 --> 01:08:35,827 Speaker 23: settled around what their best twenty three is and look 1448 01:08:35,907 --> 01:08:38,187 Speaker 23: to attack the second part of the season and build 1449 01:08:38,187 --> 01:08:39,067 Speaker 23: towards the playoffs. 1450 01:08:39,427 --> 01:08:41,827 Speaker 2: As far as the visitors are concerned, Wellington, they won 1451 01:08:41,867 --> 01:08:43,907 Speaker 2: all three of their games so far with bonus points, 1452 01:08:43,907 --> 01:08:46,667 Speaker 2: but they're winning margins have all been in single figures, 1453 01:08:46,707 --> 01:08:49,147 Speaker 2: so it's certainly not as though they've monstered any of 1454 01:08:49,147 --> 01:08:51,627 Speaker 2: their three opponents so far. How do you assess the 1455 01:08:51,667 --> 01:08:53,667 Speaker 2: threat that they'll bring to Canterbury this afternoon? 1456 01:08:54,227 --> 01:08:55,947 Speaker 23: Yeah, look, I think they go in his favorites. You'll 1457 01:08:55,947 --> 01:08:57,907 Speaker 23: probably enjoy me saying that, Piney I. 1458 01:08:59,947 --> 01:09:03,107 Speaker 2: Concur well, Look, win's over Auckland. 1459 01:09:03,107 --> 01:09:04,707 Speaker 23: Who I know, they're having a real tough time of it, 1460 01:09:04,707 --> 01:09:06,747 Speaker 23: aren't they. But twenty nine to twenty one went over 1461 01:09:06,787 --> 01:09:09,067 Speaker 23: Taranaki and then put through their paces a bit last 1462 01:09:09,107 --> 01:09:11,427 Speaker 23: week has to be said against Manowa two before finally 1463 01:09:11,427 --> 01:09:14,347 Speaker 23: coming out on top thirty nine thirty one, but having 1464 01:09:14,347 --> 01:09:18,347 Speaker 23: the benefit of that week long break coming down here 1465 01:09:18,387 --> 01:09:22,547 Speaker 23: to run Yura and still having some really classy players 1466 01:09:22,547 --> 01:09:24,707 Speaker 23: that have been sort of filtered through and have plenty 1467 01:09:24,747 --> 01:09:27,467 Speaker 23: of super rugby experience. Really looking forward, for example, to 1468 01:09:27,507 --> 01:09:31,027 Speaker 23: having another look up close of Peter Larklay at number eight. 1469 01:09:31,067 --> 01:09:33,507 Speaker 23: I think he's got all the hallmarks of a future 1470 01:09:33,507 --> 01:09:37,387 Speaker 23: all black. Same too with Xavin Numa, the loose head props. 1471 01:09:37,387 --> 01:09:40,147 Speaker 23: So look, they've been able to rack up points thirty 1472 01:09:40,187 --> 01:09:43,227 Speaker 23: nine points against Man oh two and whole teams like Taranaki. 1473 01:09:43,227 --> 01:09:46,747 Speaker 23: You is certainly threatening with ball in hand, the defending 1474 01:09:46,827 --> 01:09:49,347 Speaker 23: champions to just nineteen points. I think they've got some 1475 01:09:49,947 --> 01:09:54,067 Speaker 23: encouraging signs under Orlando Soakai. And look, I think with 1476 01:09:54,107 --> 01:09:56,827 Speaker 23: the quality of names I'm seeing here in front of 1477 01:09:56,907 --> 01:09:58,747 Speaker 23: me on the team sheet that they rightly go in 1478 01:09:58,747 --> 01:10:00,347 Speaker 23: his favorites this afternoon. 1479 01:10:00,107 --> 01:10:02,587 Speaker 2: All right, looking forward to your call on Goldsport and iHeartRadio. 1480 01:10:02,627 --> 01:10:04,987 Speaker 2: Has it been a happy Father's Day for you? I 1481 01:10:04,987 --> 01:10:08,187 Speaker 2: think your second day? From memory, I. 1482 01:10:08,147 --> 01:10:09,947 Speaker 23: Was going to say say, yeah, happy Father's Day to 1483 01:10:09,987 --> 01:10:12,587 Speaker 23: you too, Piney year second Father's Day, you're going to 1484 01:10:12,627 --> 01:10:14,067 Speaker 23: be fourteen month old boy theo. 1485 01:10:14,187 --> 01:10:14,747 Speaker 6: So it's been. 1486 01:10:14,667 --> 01:10:15,867 Speaker 2: A special day. 1487 01:10:16,467 --> 01:10:19,387 Speaker 23: Started off well, not quite into Father's Day, but big 1488 01:10:19,467 --> 01:10:23,867 Speaker 23: big wise man and started off with quite an outstanding 1489 01:10:24,387 --> 01:10:26,827 Speaker 23: You know, farewell for Shawn Johnson. I very much enjoyed 1490 01:10:26,827 --> 01:10:30,027 Speaker 23: obviously all blacks quite as flash. But I've got the 1491 01:10:30,067 --> 01:10:33,267 Speaker 23: boy and my wife Kelsey somewhere here in the in 1492 01:10:33,307 --> 01:10:35,907 Speaker 23: the showgrounds enjoying it. That's that's one of the beauties 1493 01:10:35,947 --> 01:10:39,267 Speaker 23: of this of this sort of community rural feel for 1494 01:10:39,307 --> 01:10:42,347 Speaker 23: this NPC game. You can bring your your kidding with 1495 01:10:42,387 --> 01:10:44,667 Speaker 23: a pram, you can bring I think I've even seen 1496 01:10:44,667 --> 01:10:46,867 Speaker 23: a few dogs around, or certainly last year there's a 1497 01:10:46,867 --> 01:10:49,547 Speaker 23: few dogs around sitting up on the little rise embankment 1498 01:10:49,587 --> 01:10:52,187 Speaker 23: on the far side. So it certainly feels more like 1499 01:10:52,187 --> 01:10:55,507 Speaker 23: a heartland type environment than what we're probably accustomed to 1500 01:10:55,507 --> 01:10:57,947 Speaker 23: it some of our biggest stadiums in NPC. So now 1501 01:10:57,947 --> 01:11:01,987 Speaker 23: it is special, having special having the boy here somewhere 1502 01:11:02,027 --> 01:11:04,867 Speaker 23: at the ground. And yeah, it's a privilege to be 1503 01:11:05,347 --> 01:11:07,507 Speaker 23: to be a dad for your brilliant stuff. 1504 01:11:07,507 --> 01:11:09,307 Speaker 2: Now that's exactly how it should be. That's how I 1505 01:11:09,427 --> 01:11:12,787 Speaker 2: believe that's the way forward, not just for Artland Championship Rugby, 1506 01:11:12,787 --> 01:11:15,227 Speaker 2: but for NPC as well. Enjoy your call, Nick, thanks 1507 01:11:15,267 --> 01:11:16,387 Speaker 2: for stopping it. 1508 01:11:16,507 --> 01:11:17,107 Speaker 23: Cheers Piney. 1509 01:11:17,587 --> 01:11:20,667 Speaker 2: Nick purely has the call of Canterbury v. Wellington Bunnings 1510 01:11:20,707 --> 01:11:23,187 Speaker 2: MPC from five past two, Catch that on Gold Sport 1511 01:11:23,507 --> 01:11:26,667 Speaker 2: and iHeartRadio twenty to two when we come back James 1512 01:11:26,707 --> 01:11:28,467 Speaker 2: mcconey in this regular Sunday slot. 1513 01:11:30,347 --> 01:11:31,387 Speaker 7: You be the TMO. 1514 01:11:31,667 --> 01:11:34,667 Speaker 1: Have yours say on eight hundred eighty ten eighty Weekend 1515 01:11:34,707 --> 01:11:39,107 Speaker 1: Sport with Jason Pine and GJ.

Let's get to James mcconey. Are 1518 01:11:44,747 --> 01:11:49,267 Speaker 2: your European tickie tourists? Continuing? Where do we find you today? 1519 01:11:50,187 --> 01:11:54,267 Speaker 26: I'm on the northern tip of Denmark visiting some great Danes, 1520 01:11:54,627 --> 01:11:56,587 Speaker 26: some old friends of mine who I met when I 1521 01:11:56,627 --> 01:12:00,547 Speaker 26: was on my II in Maidstone, south of London and Kent. 1522 01:12:00,747 --> 01:12:04,787 Speaker 26: So all those years ago, me and the Danes forms 1523 01:12:04,947 --> 01:12:08,867 Speaker 26: formed a pretty strong bond. The Bally Jim Carrey movies 1524 01:12:09,387 --> 01:12:14,587 Speaker 26: that was there where we basically decided, okay, we're going 1525 01:12:14,627 --> 01:12:15,507 Speaker 26: to be friends for life. 1526 01:12:15,787 --> 01:12:16,187 Speaker 7: All right? 1527 01:12:16,227 --> 01:12:18,947 Speaker 2: Well, did you and your friends for life from Denmark 1528 01:12:18,947 --> 01:12:20,347 Speaker 2: get in front of a TV to watch the All 1529 01:12:20,347 --> 01:12:20,907 Speaker 2: Blacks at All? 1530 01:12:22,387 --> 01:12:22,587 Speaker 11: Yes? 1531 01:12:22,667 --> 01:12:26,427 Speaker 26: I managed to fire up the laptop and watch the 1532 01:12:26,547 --> 01:12:30,347 Speaker 26: test which possibly is it an instant classic? I mean 1533 01:12:30,587 --> 01:12:33,027 Speaker 26: It's hard to say when the All Blacks lose that 1534 01:12:33,027 --> 01:12:34,547 Speaker 26: that's the case, but I think it might be. 1535 01:12:34,707 --> 01:12:37,507 Speaker 2: Yeah, a terrific test match. Yeah, And look, most of 1536 01:12:37,547 --> 01:12:39,907 Speaker 2: the feedback we've had today on the show has been 1537 01:12:39,947 --> 01:12:41,907 Speaker 2: about the last sort of ten to fifteen minutes the 1538 01:12:41,987 --> 01:12:44,627 Speaker 2: yellow card to offer to the Farsi in the way 1539 01:12:44,627 --> 01:12:46,667 Speaker 2: that the spring Box took advantage and sort of rolled 1540 01:12:46,747 --> 01:12:50,507 Speaker 2: over the top. What are your main takeaways, if I 1541 01:12:50,507 --> 01:12:51,627 Speaker 2: can use that cliche. 1542 01:12:53,627 --> 01:12:55,867 Speaker 26: One is I feel like the spring Box are going 1543 01:12:55,907 --> 01:13:00,827 Speaker 26: to lift a gear between World Cup years now. They 1544 01:13:00,907 --> 01:13:03,267 Speaker 26: used to phone it in every now and then and 1545 01:13:03,427 --> 01:13:06,747 Speaker 26: probably leave a few of their big stars untroubled until 1546 01:13:06,747 --> 01:13:09,227 Speaker 26: they really needed them in that you know, sort of 1547 01:13:09,307 --> 01:13:12,787 Speaker 26: nine months before cycle that, you know, so that was 1548 01:13:12,827 --> 01:13:15,187 Speaker 26: the way they played it. But now it just feels 1549 01:13:15,227 --> 01:13:19,267 Speaker 26: that intensity lift. We've got something that rivals really stay 1550 01:13:19,307 --> 01:13:21,667 Speaker 26: of origin intensity now and then. 1551 01:13:21,747 --> 01:13:24,267 Speaker 7: I mean we've had Springbok tests like that, but they're 1552 01:13:24,307 --> 01:13:25,227 Speaker 7: not always like that. 1553 01:13:25,427 --> 01:13:28,587 Speaker 26: So if this is what is going to happen, then 1554 01:13:28,987 --> 01:13:31,827 Speaker 26: I think I'm all for it because I think it's 1555 01:13:31,867 --> 01:13:35,787 Speaker 26: going to breathe life into rugby. Second thing is you 1556 01:13:35,827 --> 01:13:41,987 Speaker 26: could see Tony Brown's handprints all over that spring Box team, 1557 01:13:42,107 --> 01:13:43,747 Speaker 26: some of those innovative moves. 1558 01:13:43,467 --> 01:13:44,387 Speaker 7: Off a line out. 1559 01:13:45,547 --> 01:13:49,867 Speaker 26: There was just a real sort of brown esque kind 1560 01:13:49,867 --> 01:13:52,347 Speaker 26: of vibe to the way they play the game and 1561 01:13:52,987 --> 01:13:55,707 Speaker 26: attacked wholeheartedly with a ball in hand near the end. 1562 01:13:56,387 --> 01:14:00,827 Speaker 26: And my third takeaway is probably that the bomb squad 1563 01:14:00,907 --> 01:14:03,747 Speaker 26: works and why have we not tried to copy it? 1564 01:14:03,747 --> 01:14:07,427 Speaker 26: It just if you're bringing it's the best Dean cam Vincent, 1565 01:14:07,547 --> 01:14:12,347 Speaker 26: cock Quakers, Smith, Malcolm Marx off the bench and they 1566 01:14:12,427 --> 01:14:16,267 Speaker 26: are doing the damage. Are we really stuck in an 1567 01:14:16,267 --> 01:14:20,027 Speaker 26: old style of thinking, which is a bench that just 1568 01:14:20,147 --> 01:14:23,387 Speaker 26: plugs every gap? And are we not thinking enough about 1569 01:14:23,427 --> 01:14:26,187 Speaker 26: impact rather just more about cover. 1570 01:14:26,347 --> 01:14:30,107 Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting because last weekend or sorry, two weekends ago, 1571 01:14:30,147 --> 01:14:33,467 Speaker 2: the last test News You'll then played Eden parkingst Argentina. 1572 01:14:33,507 --> 01:14:35,347 Speaker 2: They did bring on five at the same time, but 1573 01:14:35,387 --> 01:14:38,347 Speaker 2: it's a very different match situation. They were well clear 1574 01:14:38,387 --> 01:14:40,467 Speaker 2: by then. It was almost like, okay, let' attempted the 1575 01:14:40,507 --> 01:14:42,587 Speaker 2: bench and give some guys some minutes. Do we need 1576 01:14:42,627 --> 01:14:45,347 Speaker 2: to do we need to embrace more. Even though we 1577 01:14:45,987 --> 01:14:47,867 Speaker 2: sort of tend to say yes, it's now a twenty 1578 01:14:47,907 --> 01:14:51,547 Speaker 2: three man game, should we now actually believe that it 1579 01:14:51,667 --> 01:14:52,947 Speaker 2: is a twenty three man game. 1580 01:14:53,867 --> 01:14:55,187 Speaker 7: That's the difference. I think. 1581 01:14:55,307 --> 01:14:59,147 Speaker 26: I don't think we've quite understood what Rassi has been 1582 01:14:59,147 --> 01:15:02,707 Speaker 26: doing all these years, which is basically sending people on 1583 01:15:02,827 --> 01:15:06,547 Speaker 26: to win games and you know, tooth and nail. How Ever, 1584 01:15:06,907 --> 01:15:09,867 Speaker 26: doesn't matter how it looks, they will, They're going on 1585 01:15:09,947 --> 01:15:11,507 Speaker 26: to finish the job. 1586 01:15:11,827 --> 01:15:13,467 Speaker 7: Whereas I think the All Blacks. 1587 01:15:13,187 --> 01:15:16,267 Speaker 26: Feel that that, you know, if they get everything right 1588 01:15:16,307 --> 01:15:19,547 Speaker 26: and the processes are good and the strike moves work, 1589 01:15:19,587 --> 01:15:23,147 Speaker 26: they'll be you know, in an untouchable situation with with 1590 01:15:23,947 --> 01:15:26,747 Speaker 26: you know, fifteen minutes to go. But that's not test 1591 01:15:26,867 --> 01:15:29,267 Speaker 26: rugby really and that's why I feel like Russi is 1592 01:15:29,307 --> 01:15:32,347 Speaker 26: the master. And to be honest, the most impressive Bomb 1593 01:15:32,347 --> 01:15:34,507 Speaker 26: squad member for me was Aluric Low. 1594 01:15:35,267 --> 01:15:37,387 Speaker 7: He made a run from from a kickoff. Did you 1595 01:15:37,387 --> 01:15:37,707 Speaker 7: see that? 1596 01:15:38,547 --> 01:15:39,107 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1597 01:15:39,187 --> 01:15:41,347 Speaker 26: Three or four players and I was like, oh, this 1598 01:15:41,427 --> 01:15:44,747 Speaker 26: guy twenty four years old, six ft five, loves forward. 1599 01:15:44,867 --> 01:15:46,707 Speaker 7: Okay, South Africa, we get it. 1600 01:15:46,827 --> 01:15:49,147 Speaker 26: And there's talent there as well at ten and fifteen, 1601 01:15:49,587 --> 01:15:52,547 Speaker 26: I think, which that we haven't seen before. That could 1602 01:15:52,547 --> 01:15:55,907 Speaker 26: be you know, could actually take them through the more 1603 01:15:55,987 --> 01:15:56,627 Speaker 26: World Cups. 1604 01:15:56,747 --> 01:15:58,187 Speaker 7: That's that's the danger. 1605 01:15:58,307 --> 01:16:00,947 Speaker 2: Yeah. Indeed, well we'll look see. I look forward to 1606 01:16:00,947 --> 01:16:03,667 Speaker 2: seeing how the All Blacks regroup ahead of Cape Town 1607 01:16:03,707 --> 01:16:05,987 Speaker 2: a week from now. Other bits and piece of floating 1608 01:16:06,027 --> 01:16:09,107 Speaker 2: around to Chris Wood got another goal. That's seventy one 1609 01:16:09,147 --> 01:16:12,387 Speaker 2: in the Premier League now, more than Eric Cantona. He's 1610 01:16:12,387 --> 01:16:14,187 Speaker 2: starting to get up into rarerified air. 1611 01:16:15,907 --> 01:16:20,107 Speaker 7: Who are Chris Wood? Yes? Who are Cantona? He going 1612 01:16:20,227 --> 01:16:22,147 Speaker 7: past Eric Cantona is crazy for me. 1613 01:16:22,267 --> 01:16:24,467 Speaker 26: But the one thing that I think kwies need to 1614 01:16:24,467 --> 01:16:28,147 Speaker 26: appreciate with Chris Wood is that if Nottingham Forest stay 1615 01:16:28,267 --> 01:16:32,147 Speaker 26: avoid relegation, it'll be because of Chris Wood and no 1616 01:16:32,267 --> 01:16:35,587 Speaker 26: other player. And I don't think you can say more 1617 01:16:35,747 --> 01:16:39,267 Speaker 26: about Chris Wood in the sense that I know, seeing 1618 01:16:39,307 --> 01:16:43,227 Speaker 26: somebody put an entire team, an entire club, famous club, 1619 01:16:43,267 --> 01:16:47,627 Speaker 26: European Cup winning club on his shoulders is just something 1620 01:16:47,627 --> 01:16:50,667 Speaker 26: to behold really, and that's I think that's going to 1621 01:16:50,707 --> 01:16:54,707 Speaker 26: be his you know, his calling card for years is 1622 01:16:54,747 --> 01:16:58,947 Speaker 26: that the guy who could just make things happen for 1623 01:16:59,467 --> 01:17:04,027 Speaker 26: the battler. And look, it was a He's a big unit. 1624 01:17:04,067 --> 01:17:08,867 Speaker 26: It was a headed goal and on target and just exactly. 1625 01:17:08,507 --> 01:17:09,427 Speaker 7: Where he needed to be. 1626 01:17:09,827 --> 01:17:11,907 Speaker 26: And I always look at Chris Wood and just go 1627 01:17:12,187 --> 01:17:17,027 Speaker 26: there's you know, that type of player has been outdated 1628 01:17:17,067 --> 01:17:19,787 Speaker 26: for some time now, but the fact that he's that 1629 01:17:19,907 --> 01:17:24,147 Speaker 26: important and starts games for a big Premier league club 1630 01:17:24,227 --> 01:17:27,667 Speaker 26: like that, it just shows he actually is worth every penny. 1631 01:17:27,667 --> 01:17:31,507 Speaker 26: And I'm glad that we've got someone who's a proper 1632 01:17:32,347 --> 01:17:33,347 Speaker 26: superstar of the game. 1633 01:17:33,667 --> 01:17:36,507 Speaker 2: Now, speaking of pennies or whatever currency you're dealing in 1634 01:17:36,667 --> 01:17:38,507 Speaker 2: right now, did you put any of it on lydia 1635 01:17:38,547 --> 01:17:40,907 Speaker 2: Co last week? We spoke last week she was three 1636 01:17:41,027 --> 01:17:43,987 Speaker 2: rounds in and sort of within striking distance at the 1637 01:17:44,027 --> 01:17:46,467 Speaker 2: Open Championship at the Old Course of s and Andrews. 1638 01:17:46,507 --> 01:17:48,587 Speaker 2: Did you get any of your I don't know what's 1639 01:17:48,587 --> 01:17:49,547 Speaker 2: the Danish currency? 1640 01:17:49,547 --> 01:17:52,747 Speaker 7: Did he put me on any crona? 1641 01:17:54,107 --> 01:17:58,147 Speaker 26: Look, I this is the thing, Pinnie. I was talking 1642 01:17:58,187 --> 01:18:01,667 Speaker 26: her up, and even when I interviewed at the Paris 1643 01:18:01,667 --> 01:18:05,307 Speaker 26: Olympics before she played, I had a feeling. I just thought, 1644 01:18:05,347 --> 01:18:07,627 Speaker 26: the way she's speaking, it sounds like she's going to 1645 01:18:07,707 --> 01:18:09,387 Speaker 26: win the whole shebang. 1646 01:18:09,427 --> 01:18:10,987 Speaker 7: And I mean I. 1647 01:18:10,947 --> 01:18:13,227 Speaker 26: Didn't bet on her then, and she's probably playing forty 1648 01:18:13,267 --> 01:18:14,627 Speaker 26: one dollars or something like that. 1649 01:18:14,747 --> 01:18:17,507 Speaker 7: And then like a muppet. 1650 01:18:17,387 --> 01:18:21,307 Speaker 26: When we're talking last weekend again talking lydia Co up. 1651 01:18:21,307 --> 01:18:22,387 Speaker 7: She's in a great position. 1652 01:18:23,027 --> 01:18:25,947 Speaker 26: You know, Nellie Carter will be worried about her breathing 1653 01:18:25,947 --> 01:18:28,787 Speaker 26: down her neck. Sure enough, lydia Co gets up. Look, 1654 01:18:28,827 --> 01:18:32,747 Speaker 26: I don't know what the word is for for regretting 1655 01:18:33,107 --> 01:18:35,587 Speaker 26: not making bets. I'm sure there's a German word for it, 1656 01:18:35,667 --> 01:18:42,267 Speaker 26: like stupid Betton forgetting or something like that. But that's 1657 01:18:42,307 --> 01:18:44,667 Speaker 26: that's what I That's what I'm feeling right now is Yeah, 1658 01:18:44,667 --> 01:18:48,067 Speaker 26: I'm happy for lydia Coe. But why didn't I listen 1659 01:18:48,147 --> 01:18:53,387 Speaker 26: to the inner sports pundit which says or punter just goes, yeah, 1660 01:18:53,387 --> 01:18:55,707 Speaker 26: that that lydia Coe just looks to be in good 1661 01:18:55,747 --> 01:18:57,707 Speaker 26: form and just seems to have the weight of the 1662 01:18:57,707 --> 01:18:58,907 Speaker 26: world off her shoulders. 1663 01:18:59,307 --> 01:19:02,547 Speaker 2: Indeed, hey, just before you go, Bunn ex MPC continuing 1664 01:19:02,587 --> 01:19:06,107 Speaker 2: over here, you would have noticed that Auckland four from four, 1665 01:19:06,147 --> 01:19:08,267 Speaker 2: but not in a good way. They've lost all of 1666 01:19:08,307 --> 01:19:11,827 Speaker 2: their games. Have you sort of been keeping up with it? 1667 01:19:11,867 --> 01:19:15,067 Speaker 2: And as an out of the box thinker any more 1668 01:19:15,107 --> 01:19:18,147 Speaker 2: thoughts on attracting crowds back to NPC. 1669 01:19:19,507 --> 01:19:21,707 Speaker 26: This is the thing that borrows me Piney. I mean, 1670 01:19:21,707 --> 01:19:23,947 Speaker 26: I'm missing home a little bit, even though I do 1671 01:19:23,987 --> 01:19:28,987 Speaker 26: love the Danes and they're various cheeses and pastries. I 1672 01:19:29,107 --> 01:19:32,307 Speaker 26: still tune in for a bit of Bunnings MPC and 1673 01:19:32,627 --> 01:19:36,987 Speaker 26: just seeing the lack of crowds is fairly sad. I mean, 1674 01:19:37,547 --> 01:19:40,147 Speaker 26: what can you do to revive that? How can you 1675 01:19:40,187 --> 01:19:43,907 Speaker 26: get people back watching rugby. I don't think the rugby 1676 01:19:43,987 --> 01:19:48,067 Speaker 26: is enough, clearly the marketing side of it. I mean, 1677 01:19:48,107 --> 01:19:51,467 Speaker 26: I'm sure they've thrown lots of money at it. Look, 1678 01:19:51,507 --> 01:19:53,347 Speaker 26: I've always felt that it needs to be another event 1679 01:19:53,387 --> 01:19:55,827 Speaker 26: as well down there at a rugby ground, whether it's 1680 01:19:55,867 --> 01:20:00,587 Speaker 26: a farmer's market or you know, some vintage merch which 1681 01:20:00,627 --> 01:20:03,827 Speaker 26: everyone seems to go crazy for these days, or whatever 1682 01:20:03,987 --> 01:20:09,267 Speaker 26: kind of event that you want to host. Maybe throwing 1683 01:20:09,347 --> 01:20:12,067 Speaker 26: hay I mean after raygun at the Olympics and breakdancing. 1684 01:20:12,347 --> 01:20:14,907 Speaker 7: It could be whatever you want to do. 1685 01:20:15,787 --> 01:20:18,547 Speaker 26: They need to think outside of the box because it's. 1686 01:20:18,307 --> 01:20:19,707 Speaker 7: Pretty chronic right now, Piney. 1687 01:20:19,747 --> 01:20:22,987 Speaker 26: And I'm sure even your beloved Wellington lines are struggling. 1688 01:20:23,067 --> 01:20:25,347 Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed they are. Well they've taken games to Pottydoor 1689 01:20:25,427 --> 01:20:28,107 Speaker 2: Park where excuse me, I don't mind it. I quite 1690 01:20:28,147 --> 01:20:31,067 Speaker 2: like the smaller grounds. I know it doesn't increase the 1691 01:20:31,067 --> 01:20:33,387 Speaker 2: side of the size of the crowd, But it certainly, 1692 01:20:33,987 --> 01:20:36,187 Speaker 2: I guess makes it look a lot better. And actually 1693 01:20:36,227 --> 01:20:37,787 Speaker 2: it's more of a feel, you know, if you're that 1694 01:20:37,947 --> 01:20:40,147 Speaker 2: close to the ground a a you know, or to 1695 01:20:40,427 --> 01:20:42,787 Speaker 2: the players at a ground like Pottydoor Park compared to 1696 01:20:43,107 --> 01:20:44,867 Speaker 2: sky Stadium, and then all the better as far as 1697 01:20:44,947 --> 01:20:48,387 Speaker 2: the experience is concerned, is you know, from what I 1698 01:20:48,427 --> 01:20:51,427 Speaker 2: can see anyway, we're we're swiftly running out of time. 1699 01:20:51,507 --> 01:20:54,627 Speaker 2: So should we bid each other?

Steve, the last point 1764 01:24:20,987 --> 01:24:23,307 Speaker 2: is one that I'm not sure if you heard our 1765 01:24:23,347 --> 01:24:27,587 Speaker 2: conversation when we had Smiley Barrett Kevin Barrett on dad 1766 01:24:27,627 --> 01:24:31,987 Speaker 2: of the three All Black Barrett brothers, he said exactly 1767 01:24:32,027 --> 01:24:34,907 Speaker 2: the same thing he said. In his view, during the 1768 01:24:35,427 --> 01:24:39,027 Speaker 2: Super Rugby season when it overlaps with the club season, 1769 01:24:39,027 --> 01:24:41,467 Speaker 2: there should be a weekend where everybody gets a buy 1770 01:24:42,107 --> 01:24:46,187 Speaker 2: and every player in Super Rugby goes back to their club, 1771 01:24:46,507 --> 01:24:49,307 Speaker 2: including all of the All Blacks, not necessarily to play. 1772 01:24:49,907 --> 01:24:52,867 Speaker 2: They can play if that is appropriate, and they are 1773 01:24:52,867 --> 01:24:54,867 Speaker 2: given the go ahead by their super rugby club, but 1774 01:24:54,947 --> 01:24:57,867 Speaker 2: just to be there, just to show their face around 1775 01:24:57,867 --> 01:25:02,467 Speaker 2: the club and imagine the impact it would have on 1776 01:25:02,547 --> 01:25:06,627 Speaker 2: club rugby.

So currently nil all 1878 01:30:36,707 --> 01:30:42,547 Speaker 2: between Canterbury and Wellington in the In the NPC, eight 1879 01:30:42,507 --> 01:30:45,267 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty ten eighty is always is our number. 1880 01:30:45,467 --> 01:30:49,307 Speaker 2: We've been taking a few calls on the rugby this afternoon, 1881 01:30:49,307 --> 01:30:51,347 Speaker 2: but I want to flick across now to rugby league 1882 01:30:51,387 --> 01:30:55,187 Speaker 2: because the Warriors have completed a remarkable comeback to stun 1883 01:30:55,307 --> 01:30:59,147 Speaker 2: the Sharks in their NRL season finale in Sydney. Trailing 1884 01:30:59,187 --> 01:31:02,107 Speaker 2: twenty two points to four at halftime, they scored four 1885 01:31:02,507 --> 01:31:06,867 Speaker 2: unanswered tries to lead twenty six twenty two before Cronulla 1886 01:31:06,907 --> 01:31:10,027 Speaker 2: scored a converter tried to go ahead twenty eight twenty six, 1887 01:31:10,547 --> 01:31:14,187 Speaker 2: but with only seconds remaining, the retiring Sean Johnson did 1888 01:31:14,227 --> 01:31:16,387 Speaker 2: this possibly their last chance. 1889 01:31:16,747 --> 01:31:19,707 Speaker 4: Hagan the walker Johnson side. 1890 01:31:22,507 --> 01:31:31,467 Speaker 2: Up, cutside runs his own scrap time riddle, produced directed 1891 01:31:31,547 --> 01:31:32,467 Speaker 2: by Sean. 1892 01:31:32,307 --> 01:31:34,987 Speaker 26: Johnson the movie He's Last. 1893 01:31:35,067 --> 01:31:39,627 Speaker 2: Jame winsard for the Warriors. Yeah cut our pass to 1894 01:31:39,787 --> 01:31:42,587 Speaker 2: Delan watenis Alesniak who gotted down in the corner for 1895 01:31:42,627 --> 01:31:44,507 Speaker 2: a hat trick of tries for him and a thirty 1896 01:31:44,787 --> 01:31:47,547 Speaker 2: twenty eight win for the Warriors over the Sharks. As 1897 01:31:47,587 --> 01:31:50,587 Speaker 2: well as Sean Johnson, of course, Adam Vanua Blake and 1898 01:31:50,707 --> 01:31:54,067 Speaker 2: Jazz Tavanga also played their final matches for the club 1899 01:31:54,147 --> 01:31:58,827 Speaker 2: last night. Former Warrior NRL triple centurion and now Skysport 1900 01:31:58,907 --> 01:32:02,227 Speaker 2: Rugby League analyst Adam Blair joins us Adam. Fairy tail 1901 01:32:02,347 --> 01:32:04,667 Speaker 2: endings don't always happen, and of course the Warriors haven't 1902 01:32:04,667 --> 01:32:06,347 Speaker 2: made the eight. But how pleased were you to see 1903 01:32:06,427 --> 01:32:08,667 Speaker 2: Sewan Johnson go out on a bit of a high 1904 01:32:08,747 --> 01:32:12,107 Speaker 2: last night with a match winning play with his final 1905 01:32:12,187 --> 01:32:13,427 Speaker 2: action and a Warrior's shit? 1906 01:32:14,227 --> 01:32:14,467 Speaker 9: Yeah? 1907 01:32:14,747 --> 01:32:17,107 Speaker 11: How great was that for? You know, not only the 1908 01:32:17,147 --> 01:32:20,067 Speaker 11: Warriors and the fans by Sean Johnson. And like you said, 1909 01:32:20,227 --> 01:32:23,907 Speaker 11: not everyone goes out on anything. And last weekend, you 1910 01:32:23,947 --> 01:32:26,387 Speaker 11: know it mounts go media Stadius he would have got there, 1911 01:32:26,387 --> 01:32:27,947 Speaker 11: he didn't get it, but last night he had his 1912 01:32:27,947 --> 01:32:31,187 Speaker 11: fingerprint over everything. I thought that sick enough. No, I'm 1913 01:32:31,187 --> 01:32:32,747 Speaker 11: going to be real honest. I didn't think they looked 1914 01:32:32,867 --> 01:32:34,867 Speaker 11: likely of winning that game, Like you said, I think 1915 01:32:34,867 --> 01:32:37,227 Speaker 11: it was twenty two four at halftime and they had 1916 01:32:37,267 --> 01:32:38,867 Speaker 11: to come out and play some footy. But you know, 1917 01:32:38,907 --> 01:32:41,027 Speaker 11: I thought Shawn Johnson stepped up in the second half 1918 01:32:41,027 --> 01:32:43,467 Speaker 11: and had his fingerprints of everything right to the end 1919 01:32:43,587 --> 01:32:46,627 Speaker 11: into the last second. In that long ball down he 1920 01:32:46,627 --> 01:32:48,547 Speaker 11: has stall had a bit of work to do, but 1921 01:32:48,587 --> 01:32:50,347 Speaker 11: a nice trying, a nice way to finish off all 1922 01:32:50,427 --> 01:32:51,707 Speaker 11: those boys that are leaving as well. 1923 01:32:52,547 --> 01:32:55,827 Speaker 2: Do you reckon any part of Sean Johnson wonders if 1924 01:32:55,867 --> 01:32:56,907 Speaker 2: he should go around again. 1925 01:32:57,947 --> 01:33:00,467 Speaker 11: No, no, not at all. You know, I put myself 1926 01:33:00,507 --> 01:33:03,427 Speaker 11: in Sean's shoes and my time when I was about 1927 01:33:03,427 --> 01:33:07,187 Speaker 11: to finish up, and I think the Preshoff Swekings game 1928 01:33:07,227 --> 01:33:09,267 Speaker 11: that go media dame, and I guess the build ups 1929 01:33:09,267 --> 01:33:11,747 Speaker 11: have been his final home game and the emotion and 1930 01:33:11,747 --> 01:33:14,307 Speaker 11: all the nity were they used to try and get 1931 01:33:14,307 --> 01:33:16,467 Speaker 11: through their week. You could see the smile on his 1932 01:33:16,587 --> 01:33:18,907 Speaker 11: face last and last night's game from the moment he 1933 01:33:18,987 --> 01:33:20,747 Speaker 11: ran now to the moment he finished with their kick 1934 01:33:20,747 --> 01:33:23,427 Speaker 11: and missed the goal. That those are the moments that 1935 01:33:23,667 --> 01:33:26,147 Speaker 11: you just know that yep, you've made the right decision 1936 01:33:26,187 --> 01:33:28,627 Speaker 11: and your addy's right there. And I thought he looked 1937 01:33:28,627 --> 01:33:29,667 Speaker 11: like they're through the whole game. 1938 01:33:30,587 --> 01:33:32,747 Speaker 2: Of course, I mean very similar to yourself. You had 1939 01:33:32,747 --> 01:33:35,547 Speaker 2: fifteen seasons in the NRL. He's just finished his fourteenth, 1940 01:33:35,587 --> 01:33:38,347 Speaker 2: so pretty similar. Do you remember, Adam, how you felt 1941 01:33:38,347 --> 01:33:41,187 Speaker 2: in the in the few days or weeks after your 1942 01:33:41,187 --> 01:33:42,867 Speaker 2: final game? What back in twenty twenty. 1943 01:33:43,867 --> 01:33:47,067 Speaker 11: Yeah, well I'm a little bit different to Shawn. Havevn't 1944 01:33:47,187 --> 01:33:51,027 Speaker 11: had like a real I guess, colorful career like Sean Daddy. 1945 01:33:51,147 --> 01:33:53,467 Speaker 11: He was an icon here in New zyllan arm. You know, 1946 01:33:53,547 --> 01:33:56,227 Speaker 11: every single kid, every single kid looked up to the 1947 01:33:56,227 --> 01:33:57,987 Speaker 11: things that he did. He was magical when he come 1948 01:33:58,027 --> 01:34:01,027 Speaker 11: on stage on the big stage in twenty eleven. And 1949 01:34:01,067 --> 01:34:03,947 Speaker 11: I think, you know, my decision was literally last minute. 1950 01:34:03,987 --> 01:34:07,427 Speaker 11: It was Captain's run getting the circle. Other boys, that's done. 1951 01:34:07,627 --> 01:34:09,827 Speaker 11: Hey boys, let's switch over the focus, because again I 1952 01:34:09,827 --> 01:34:11,667 Speaker 11: wanted to just finish off on a high and enjoy 1953 01:34:11,707 --> 01:34:14,027 Speaker 11: those moments that I had left with my teammates, those 1954 01:34:14,107 --> 01:34:16,187 Speaker 11: last moments in the dressing rooms, the last moments on 1955 01:34:16,227 --> 01:34:19,307 Speaker 11: the field. And yeah, so mine is a little bit different, 1956 01:34:19,347 --> 01:34:22,267 Speaker 11: but he deserves everything he has. He's been a legend 1957 01:34:22,427 --> 01:34:24,947 Speaker 11: here in New Zealand for not only international space the 1958 01:34:25,067 --> 01:34:26,987 Speaker 11: key we've got also had the Warriors and every kid, 1959 01:34:27,307 --> 01:34:30,187 Speaker 11: including my kids, love and thinks he's a legend. 1960 01:34:30,667 --> 01:34:34,707 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, barring any remarkable you know, change of mind 1961 01:34:34,787 --> 01:34:37,747 Speaker 2: and one hundred and eighty degree turn and coming back, 1962 01:34:38,067 --> 01:34:40,587 Speaker 2: let's just assume he's not coming back. Do you think 1963 01:34:40,587 --> 01:34:42,987 Speaker 2: Tomighty Martin will get first crack at the seven jersey 1964 01:34:42,987 --> 01:34:43,467 Speaker 2: next season? 1965 01:34:44,147 --> 01:34:44,387 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1966 01:34:44,427 --> 01:34:46,827 Speaker 11: I think there's a lot of conversations around the halves 1967 01:34:46,827 --> 01:34:48,907 Speaker 11: at the Warriors. Thing like this year, we would have said, 1968 01:34:48,947 --> 01:34:51,107 Speaker 11: you know, we've got six six different halves, and we've 1969 01:34:51,107 --> 01:34:53,587 Speaker 11: got six too many. And you know, you get through 1970 01:34:53,627 --> 01:34:56,267 Speaker 11: the year and the injuries are everywhere and they're trying 1971 01:34:56,307 --> 01:34:59,867 Speaker 11: to find these combinations and not too many played together 1972 01:34:59,907 --> 01:35:01,867 Speaker 11: throughout the year. They had most really five or six 1973 01:35:01,907 --> 01:35:04,867 Speaker 11: different changes. And I think Tomighty's in the box seat. 1974 01:35:04,907 --> 01:35:07,787 Speaker 11: I think like most of the boys, Metcalf and Cludits, 1975 01:35:07,787 --> 01:35:10,347 Speaker 11: you've got to get for a solid preseason to give 1976 01:35:10,387 --> 01:35:13,107 Speaker 11: yourself some confidence so that you can go into the 1977 01:35:13,107 --> 01:35:15,867 Speaker 11: season feeling like that position is yours. It's up to 1978 01:35:15,907 --> 01:35:17,707 Speaker 11: anyone to just grab there. And I think Chanelle can 1979 01:35:17,747 --> 01:35:20,267 Speaker 11: do a good job. To think Metcalf can do a 1980 01:35:20,267 --> 01:35:21,947 Speaker 11: good job, and I also think somebody can do a 1981 01:35:21,987 --> 01:35:24,987 Speaker 11: good job. So the balls in their hands and if 1982 01:35:25,027 --> 01:35:27,747 Speaker 11: they work really hard, they get but all definitely own 1983 01:35:27,787 --> 01:35:28,347 Speaker 11: that position. 1984 01:35:28,947 --> 01:35:31,147 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're so wrong. I'm just looking at the 1985 01:35:31,187 --> 01:35:33,627 Speaker 2: lineups that the Warriors have had and it's been, yeah, 1986 01:35:33,787 --> 01:35:35,827 Speaker 2: a lot of chopping and changing around six and seven. 1987 01:35:35,947 --> 01:35:38,107 Speaker 2: I think Chance nikol Kluksta even had a game in 1988 01:35:38,147 --> 01:35:40,987 Speaker 2: the six jumper at one stage. How important Adam is 1989 01:35:41,027 --> 01:35:43,947 Speaker 2: it to find to find a combo you like, a 1990 01:35:43,987 --> 01:35:46,347 Speaker 2: six to seven you like, and barring injury, give them 1991 01:35:46,347 --> 01:35:47,987 Speaker 2: a decent run in those positions. 1992 01:35:48,507 --> 01:35:51,347 Speaker 11: Well, it's important you see the best teams and the 1993 01:35:51,387 --> 01:35:53,347 Speaker 11: competition at this time of the year are playing their 1994 01:35:53,347 --> 01:35:58,107 Speaker 11: best halves in the right positions and consistency around combinations. 1995 01:35:58,187 --> 01:36:00,787 Speaker 11: And I guess the most thing is confidence for halves. 1996 01:36:01,147 --> 01:36:03,587 Speaker 11: They are your main players. They are you'll go to 1997 01:36:03,667 --> 01:36:05,507 Speaker 11: that your leaders. They are your guys that gets you 1998 01:36:05,507 --> 01:36:07,427 Speaker 11: in the right position to finish off your set. So 1999 01:36:08,147 --> 01:36:10,427 Speaker 11: it's important that you have that consistency around the same 2000 01:36:10,467 --> 01:36:13,027 Speaker 11: halves all year. If you're chopping in chosing luck we've 2001 01:36:13,067 --> 01:36:16,307 Speaker 11: seen this year. Obviously injuries have haven't helped as well. 2002 01:36:16,347 --> 01:36:18,107 Speaker 11: You're going to get kind of similar results to what 2003 01:36:18,107 --> 01:36:20,747 Speaker 11: we have. But like you said, Chancey step doesn't. There 2004 01:36:20,747 --> 01:36:23,067 Speaker 11: may be something some thinking around Charms going into that 2005 01:36:23,107 --> 01:36:25,187 Speaker 11: six position next year and someone else goings at the seven. 2006 01:36:25,267 --> 01:36:28,227 Speaker 11: I thought he's a bigger body, he's got some got 2007 01:36:28,227 --> 01:36:30,827 Speaker 11: some ball playing ability, and you know we're seeing Taine 2008 01:36:30,867 --> 01:36:32,947 Speaker 11: to Opiki at the back last night. I think he's 2009 01:36:33,067 --> 01:36:35,907 Speaker 11: he's an n RL starter without adult But does he 2010 01:36:35,987 --> 01:36:38,867 Speaker 11: hang around? Does does is it rocked by someone else. 2011 01:36:38,867 --> 01:36:41,587 Speaker 11: So there's options there for the Warriors, but they need 2012 01:36:41,627 --> 01:36:43,067 Speaker 11: to play the people in the right positions. 2013 01:36:43,067 --> 01:36:45,027 Speaker 2: For me, yeah, you know you've rippen my mind on 2014 01:36:45,187 --> 01:36:47,667 Speaker 2: tane to Vicky. I thought he was terrific last night. 2015 01:36:47,987 --> 01:36:50,267 Speaker 2: It's only had six games this season, same with Ali 2016 01:36:50,827 --> 01:36:53,067 Speaker 2: Leah Dawa as well, only the six games of Armi 2017 01:36:53,187 --> 01:36:55,427 Speaker 2: was good last night too. Can you see those two 2018 01:36:55,467 --> 01:36:57,587 Speaker 2: playing a more significant role next year? 2019 01:36:58,507 --> 01:37:01,427 Speaker 11: Oh well, I put Taine in the similar position to 2020 01:37:01,547 --> 01:37:03,347 Speaker 11: change when Charms was first trying to come through to 2021 01:37:03,387 --> 01:37:06,907 Speaker 11: the Warriors pathways with Roger blocking and from getting a 2022 01:37:06,907 --> 01:37:09,547 Speaker 11: position at starting at the fullback. So I feel like 2023 01:37:09,587 --> 01:37:12,187 Speaker 11: if if they're not going to play or play Tane 2024 01:37:12,227 --> 01:37:14,387 Speaker 11: to Opiki, I think he finds himself at another club 2025 01:37:14,427 --> 01:37:16,107 Speaker 11: because I think he's a fast up start at any 2026 01:37:16,507 --> 01:37:18,707 Speaker 11: team if they're looking for a fallback, he's got that 2027 01:37:18,867 --> 01:37:21,307 Speaker 11: different mold or fallback, a lot smaller lot, quicker, lot, 2028 01:37:21,347 --> 01:37:23,987 Speaker 11: more agile on their feet, similar to Kan o' kenny. 2029 01:37:24,027 --> 01:37:27,907 Speaker 11: So yeah, Ali to the good thing about the Warriors 2030 01:37:27,947 --> 01:37:30,107 Speaker 11: and the future looks for it, they've seen We've seen 2031 01:37:30,187 --> 01:37:32,187 Speaker 11: them be able to bleed some of these young forwards 2032 01:37:32,187 --> 01:37:34,507 Speaker 11: through Obviously you're losing Adam for Noah Blake, but you 2033 01:37:34,587 --> 01:37:37,027 Speaker 11: also got ali To Rocco Berry has been sitting on 2034 01:37:37,027 --> 01:37:39,867 Speaker 11: the side. I think they're the future, these young guys 2035 01:37:39,907 --> 01:37:42,787 Speaker 11: that have come through the pathway other future. Consistency with 2036 01:37:42,867 --> 01:37:46,307 Speaker 11: them getting time on the fielders is important. So preseason, 2037 01:37:46,467 --> 01:37:47,947 Speaker 11: that's where it all start with him. 2038 01:37:48,347 --> 01:37:50,747 Speaker 2: Where do you reckon? We'll say, Roger tiv Asschek playing 2039 01:37:50,787 --> 01:37:52,147 Speaker 2: most off the next season. 2040 01:37:52,667 --> 01:37:54,827 Speaker 11: I'm going to say wing. That's just me having a stab. 2041 01:37:54,947 --> 01:37:58,507 Speaker 11: I just don't think he's he's like, he's a fullback 2042 01:37:58,547 --> 01:38:00,187 Speaker 11: without a doubt. But you know what I mean, like 2043 01:38:00,267 --> 01:38:02,347 Speaker 11: you've got chance, you've got tame to a pick in 2044 01:38:02,387 --> 01:38:05,747 Speaker 11: the game's changing real quick. You've seen someone like Clink Gufflerson. 2045 01:38:05,787 --> 01:38:08,187 Speaker 11: I think the game starting to move past the older 2046 01:38:08,227 --> 01:38:10,667 Speaker 11: guys with obviously these young guys coming through with the 2047 01:38:10,707 --> 01:38:13,547 Speaker 11: faster feet, the more athletic, you know what I mean, 2048 01:38:13,747 --> 01:38:16,107 Speaker 11: You're not gonna you're gonna lose mostroy the leadership of 2049 01:38:16,107 --> 01:38:17,867 Speaker 11: what and the quality of what they bring. But he 2050 01:38:17,947 --> 01:38:19,907 Speaker 11: got these kids that just come into the game and 2051 01:38:19,947 --> 01:38:22,067 Speaker 11: just play some football. So I think they find himself 2052 01:38:22,107 --> 01:38:24,667 Speaker 11: on the on the wing again. You've got some other 2053 01:38:24,707 --> 01:38:27,347 Speaker 11: wingers there as well, so some challenging times for the 2054 01:38:27,387 --> 01:38:29,387 Speaker 11: Warriors and some I guess you've got an off season 2055 01:38:29,427 --> 01:38:30,987 Speaker 11: to try and plan and see what there looks like. 2056 01:38:31,587 --> 01:38:33,427 Speaker 2: We know Dan Fanola Blake's off to the Sharks. Do 2057 01:38:33,467 --> 01:38:34,867 Speaker 2: we know where Jess Tavung is going? 2058 01:38:35,827 --> 01:38:37,747 Speaker 11: Not at the moment. I think, you know, someone like 2059 01:38:37,827 --> 01:38:40,467 Speaker 11: Jazz could fit into any club. I like, I've got 2060 01:38:40,507 --> 01:38:42,907 Speaker 11: a podcast I mentioned him going to the Bulldogs. I 2061 01:38:42,947 --> 01:38:45,907 Speaker 11: think he fits into that, that mentality that they have 2062 01:38:46,027 --> 01:38:48,147 Speaker 11: that just keeps tuning up and keep working. He's obviously 2063 01:38:48,147 --> 01:38:50,347 Speaker 11: got a good relations with Todd Payton at the Cowboys 2064 01:38:50,347 --> 01:38:51,747 Speaker 11: that could end up going over there. And then maybe 2065 01:38:51,787 --> 01:38:54,147 Speaker 11: Benji Marshall might offer him a lifeline at the at 2066 01:38:54,187 --> 01:38:57,547 Speaker 11: the Tigers. So these are just my thoughts to my Inanza, 2067 01:38:57,547 --> 01:38:59,547 Speaker 11: and I think you could add value to all three clubs, 2068 01:38:59,907 --> 01:39:00,307 Speaker 11: all right. 2069 01:39:00,347 --> 01:39:02,627 Speaker 2: And just I was watching that game last night, the 2070 01:39:02,627 --> 01:39:04,867 Speaker 2: second half of particular, Adam, I'm sure you were as well, 2071 01:39:04,987 --> 01:39:06,347 Speaker 2: and I was thinking to myself, Man, wouldn't it big 2072 01:39:06,507 --> 01:39:08,227 Speaker 2: if they were like this every week? And I'm sure 2073 01:39:08,227 --> 01:39:10,147 Speaker 2: that's the you know, that's the golden ticket that every 2074 01:39:10,227 --> 01:39:12,347 Speaker 2: Tame's after But why do you think it was so 2075 01:39:12,547 --> 01:39:15,307 Speaker 2: hard for the Warriors to find consistency this year? 2076 01:39:16,787 --> 01:39:20,187 Speaker 11: Definitely the ins and out of swapping positions and people 2077 01:39:20,227 --> 01:39:22,307 Speaker 11: not playing in the right position, to injuries. I think 2078 01:39:22,387 --> 01:39:24,347 Speaker 11: you might have heard if you watched that right to 2079 01:39:24,387 --> 01:39:27,667 Speaker 11: the end of Sean Johnson's interviews. He managed to get 2080 01:39:27,667 --> 01:39:30,467 Speaker 11: three consecutive games, and I don't think he's had that 2081 01:39:30,507 --> 01:39:33,267 Speaker 11: all year. So when when your spine can get some 2082 01:39:33,347 --> 01:39:36,187 Speaker 11: games together, they start getting a bit of a feel 2083 01:39:36,227 --> 01:39:38,147 Speaker 11: for the game and they see things because this is 2084 01:39:38,147 --> 01:39:39,867 Speaker 11: what they do, They get their flow on, and that's 2085 01:39:39,867 --> 01:39:41,507 Speaker 11: what Sean said. He felt like he was into his 2086 01:39:41,587 --> 01:39:44,067 Speaker 11: own last night. So when he set up that last play, 2087 01:39:44,107 --> 01:39:47,347 Speaker 11: it was like a sequence play that they've trained, they've 2088 01:39:47,387 --> 01:39:49,187 Speaker 11: seen it. But this was the third week in the 2089 01:39:49,267 --> 01:39:50,707 Speaker 11: road that he's managed to get on the field and 2090 01:39:50,747 --> 01:39:52,947 Speaker 11: it just all seemed to come together at the right 2091 01:39:52,947 --> 01:39:55,467 Speaker 11: time for Seawan last night. So you know, they've got 2092 01:39:55,467 --> 01:39:57,867 Speaker 11: to get they've got to get consistency about just making 2093 01:39:57,907 --> 01:40:00,747 Speaker 11: sure that they've got time on the field and connection together. 2094 01:40:00,947 --> 01:40:03,587 Speaker 11: It's important. Spines are a big part of your team, 2095 01:40:03,627 --> 01:40:05,867 Speaker 11: and it may be an offseason where they hang out together, 2096 01:40:05,987 --> 01:40:08,227 Speaker 11: maybe it's simple as having a coffee and having a chat, 2097 01:40:08,267 --> 01:40:10,867 Speaker 11: you know, and building those relationships, seeing those connections and 2098 01:40:10,907 --> 01:40:11,747 Speaker 11: being tight as a group. 2099 01:40:12,467 --> 01:40:14,867 Speaker 2: That's how that happens. Are we headed for a Storm 2100 01:40:15,067 --> 01:40:16,747 Speaker 2: Panthers Grand Final? Do you think? 2101 01:40:17,507 --> 01:40:20,267 Speaker 11: Oh? I think Nathan Clear is a big part of 2102 01:40:20,267 --> 01:40:22,787 Speaker 11: that pen of Panthers and I'm guessing he's going to 2103 01:40:22,787 --> 01:40:24,547 Speaker 11: be back in the in the fold the next coming 2104 01:40:24,587 --> 01:40:26,267 Speaker 11: weeks and it's important that they get in there. I 2105 01:40:26,307 --> 01:40:28,107 Speaker 11: definitely think the Storm are going to be there. Maybe 2106 01:40:28,107 --> 01:40:30,147 Speaker 11: two weeks ago I said storm pen of Panthers in 2107 01:40:30,187 --> 01:40:32,427 Speaker 11: the Grand Final, it's all over. But I've late of 2108 01:40:32,547 --> 01:40:37,547 Speaker 11: seen someone like the Roosters come into contention. Don't know 2109 01:40:37,587 --> 01:40:39,227 Speaker 11: about their defense. I know they can score a lot 2110 01:40:39,267 --> 01:40:41,187 Speaker 11: of times and they play a lot of football, but 2111 01:40:41,587 --> 01:40:43,467 Speaker 11: you know, when it comes down to the Grand Finals 2112 01:40:43,547 --> 01:40:45,667 Speaker 11: or winning games in this in this next part of 2113 01:40:45,707 --> 01:40:50,107 Speaker 11: the competition, it's defense that wins wins premierships. And I think, yeah, 2114 01:40:50,267 --> 01:40:52,267 Speaker 11: I think both teams know how to play these big 2115 01:40:52,267 --> 01:40:54,667 Speaker 11: moments and they could be those two good stuff. 2116 01:40:54,747 --> 01:40:56,227 Speaker 2: Well, it's great chatting to you, Adam. I hope you've 2117 01:40:56,227 --> 01:40:58,147 Speaker 2: had a great father's day mate. Thanks for taking the time. 2118 01:40:58,707 --> 01:41:00,627 Speaker 11: Thank you. I appreciate it all the best. 2119 01:41:00,627 --> 01:41:03,307 Speaker 2: Adam Blair joining us to talk Warriors there. Yeah, I 2120 01:41:03,307 --> 01:41:07,107 Speaker 2: think the you know, the the unpacking of Warriors season 2121 01:41:07,107 --> 01:41:09,787 Speaker 2: will happen over the next little while. The season reviews 2122 01:41:09,827 --> 01:41:12,747 Speaker 2: will take place, and yeah, let's hope that that lessons 2123 01:41:12,747 --> 01:41:15,227 Speaker 2: are learned. I think, you know, they always are, aren't they. 2124 01:41:15,627 --> 01:41:17,387 Speaker 2: I think back to this time last year and we 2125 01:41:17,427 --> 01:41:20,067 Speaker 2: were looking forward to the Warriors and their finals run. 2126 01:41:20,227 --> 01:41:22,307 Speaker 2: We don't have that to look forward to this year obviously, 2127 01:41:22,827 --> 01:41:25,067 Speaker 2: and you know we've said many times on the show 2128 01:41:25,147 --> 01:41:28,627 Speaker 2: that that it just hasn't gone the way anybody expected. 2129 01:41:28,707 --> 01:41:31,107 Speaker 2: We're all looking at this Warriors team like a top 2130 01:41:31,147 --> 01:41:33,747 Speaker 2: eight outfit at the start of twenty twenty four, not 2131 01:41:33,867 --> 01:41:36,547 Speaker 2: to be What will twenty twenty five bring well, I 2132 01:41:36,587 --> 01:41:40,067 Speaker 2: guess we'll find out in a few months time. At Raungioda, 2133 01:41:40,147 --> 01:41:43,467 Speaker 2: Wellington fourteen ahead of Canterbury after eighteen minutes and their 2134 01:41:43,467 --> 01:41:48,227 Speaker 2: Bunnings NPC match.

Medvedev, of course, 2137 01:41:55,147 --> 01:41:58,947 Speaker 2: is the fifth seed two twenty six. When we come back, 2138 01:41:58,987 --> 01:42:01,467 Speaker 2: We'll flick our attention across the football. Auckland f SEED 2139 01:42:01,947 --> 01:42:05,307 Speaker 2: less than fifty days away now from their A League debut, 2140 01:42:06,347 --> 01:42:09,067 Speaker 2: Big men's debut anyway, and they've had some new investors 2141 01:42:09,067 --> 01:42:12,907 Speaker 2: this past week, some high profile new investors.

And look, 2183 01:44:21,827 --> 01:44:24,587 Speaker 19: I've been away for quite some time, really for about 2184 01:44:25,027 --> 01:44:30,387 Speaker 19: eight years in business in the US mostly and always 2185 01:44:31,067 --> 01:44:33,947 Speaker 19: loves what is happening up here with the MLS and 2186 01:44:33,947 --> 01:44:36,267 Speaker 19: the growth of it, and always had a passion that 2187 01:44:37,027 --> 01:44:40,107 Speaker 19: Auckland needs a team and I think what Wellington has 2188 01:44:40,147 --> 01:44:43,707 Speaker 19: done for not only the league but also for New 2189 01:44:43,787 --> 01:44:49,387 Speaker 19: Zealand has been amazing. So anytime that there was an opportunity, 2190 01:44:49,907 --> 01:44:53,867 Speaker 19: I thought that we could have a derby. And what 2191 01:44:53,907 --> 01:44:55,787 Speaker 19: the ultimate dream would be for me is have an 2192 01:44:55,827 --> 01:44:59,467 Speaker 19: Auckland Wellington final and I could be part of it 2193 01:44:59,507 --> 01:45:01,027 Speaker 19: with some phenomenal people. 2194 01:45:02,307 --> 01:45:03,947 Speaker 20: It's it was very hard to convince. 2195 01:45:03,667 --> 01:45:07,907 Speaker 2: Men good stuff. Was this joint decision by you, Tim 2196 01:45:07,947 --> 01:45:10,707 Speaker 2: Brown and Winston Reid or did you all make the 2197 01:45:10,787 --> 01:45:13,787 Speaker 2: decision to get involved independent of one another. 2198 01:45:15,427 --> 01:45:17,747 Speaker 19: Well, look, I mean we're great mays, the three of us, 2199 01:45:17,747 --> 01:45:20,587 Speaker 19: and we do regularly keep in touch. I mean I 2200 01:45:21,667 --> 01:45:23,907 Speaker 19: went and stayed with Brown a few months ago and 2201 01:45:23,947 --> 01:45:26,187 Speaker 19: I'll do it again soon, and so we've just had 2202 01:45:26,227 --> 01:45:28,627 Speaker 19: discussions about it for a long long time and being 2203 01:45:28,627 --> 01:45:33,387 Speaker 19: pretty passionate about doing something. Winston's done his own thing 2204 01:45:33,427 --> 01:45:37,027 Speaker 19: with academies. I mean, Winston's a powerhouse right just who 2205 01:45:37,067 --> 01:45:40,467 Speaker 19: he is and what he's been able to do. But yeah, 2206 01:45:40,467 --> 01:45:42,947 Speaker 19: for the most part, I've been head down with the 2207 01:45:42,987 --> 01:45:47,507 Speaker 19: business and investments, and so it's been loose conversations. 2208 01:45:47,587 --> 01:45:49,907 Speaker 7: But the moment that. 2209 01:45:49,187 --> 01:45:51,787 Speaker 19: The opportunity came about, and that was actually a phone 2210 01:45:51,827 --> 01:45:56,267 Speaker 19: call from Ali and Anna, that's when it really kicked 2211 01:45:56,307 --> 01:45:58,267 Speaker 19: into gear. But Tim, I mean, I've got to say 2212 01:45:58,267 --> 01:46:03,227 Speaker 19: Tim's passion behind this and his want well before even 2213 01:46:03,267 --> 01:46:05,507 Speaker 19: this ownership group came in, he was you know, he's 2214 01:46:05,507 --> 01:46:07,947 Speaker 19: been in discussions to make it happen anyway. So I 2215 01:46:07,987 --> 01:46:11,067 Speaker 19: think that's been something that he can be very proud of. 2216 01:46:12,507 --> 01:46:18,747 Speaker 2: How much hands on involvement do you think you'll have, Noah. 2217 01:46:17,347 --> 01:46:18,947 Speaker 20: Probably myself, not so much. 2218 01:46:18,987 --> 01:46:22,347 Speaker 19: It's more if I look at everyone's strengths on there, 2219 01:46:23,107 --> 01:46:26,867 Speaker 19: there's Bill is phenomenal. So you know, when I got 2220 01:46:26,867 --> 01:46:28,787 Speaker 19: the call from Alian Anna, I was in Vegas because 2221 01:46:28,787 --> 01:46:30,027 Speaker 19: I have to spend a lot of time the off 2222 01:46:30,027 --> 01:46:35,267 Speaker 19: the business and I was driving past the Vegas Knights 2223 01:46:35,387 --> 01:46:37,667 Speaker 19: hockey Arena and I was like, Wow, this is meant 2224 01:46:37,667 --> 01:46:37,827 Speaker 19: to be. 2225 01:46:37,987 --> 01:46:39,787 Speaker 7: If it's some reason. 2226 01:46:40,067 --> 01:46:41,627 Speaker 20: The world's aligned. 2227 01:46:41,667 --> 01:46:44,867 Speaker 19: And I'm looking at this amazing achievement from you know, 2228 01:46:45,027 --> 01:46:48,467 Speaker 19: Bill and thinking having that in news Villinder is just 2229 01:46:48,587 --> 01:46:50,547 Speaker 19: I mean, it gives me goose. I'm still to think 2230 01:46:50,587 --> 01:46:52,947 Speaker 19: that that's where New Zealand sports ownership has got to 2231 01:46:53,267 --> 01:46:56,507 Speaker 19: because that's what's made it happen here, and the emails 2232 01:46:56,587 --> 01:46:59,267 Speaker 19: and the like. And so when I look at what 2233 01:46:59,307 --> 01:47:03,827 Speaker 19: he already has in resources and what he brings, and 2234 01:47:03,867 --> 01:47:07,707 Speaker 19: then I lock at Anna and there's world and you know, 2235 01:47:07,747 --> 01:47:10,707 Speaker 19: I've had some first hand exposure to that up here. 2236 01:47:10,787 --> 01:47:13,227 Speaker 19: It's so much bigger than any of us could ever comprehend. 2237 01:47:14,507 --> 01:47:16,387 Speaker 19: I look at what I can bring, and I, you know, 2238 01:47:16,667 --> 01:47:19,267 Speaker 19: I think I've got relationships with the Phoenix. I think 2239 01:47:19,387 --> 01:47:21,747 Speaker 19: us and the Phoenix can actually family. 2240 01:47:21,547 --> 01:47:23,467 Speaker 20: Will have that hard rivalry. 2241 01:47:23,467 --> 01:47:24,987 Speaker 19: I have already seen some of the band or even 2242 01:47:24,987 --> 01:47:27,547 Speaker 19: with our names being mentioned, which is fantastic. 2243 01:47:28,027 --> 01:47:30,067 Speaker 20: But I do think that, you know. 2244 01:47:30,067 --> 01:47:32,907 Speaker 19: We can do a lot together for New Zealand football, 2245 01:47:33,547 --> 01:47:35,107 Speaker 19: and I think the future. 2246 01:47:34,747 --> 01:47:36,067 Speaker 7: Of New Zealand football is bright. 2247 01:47:36,267 --> 01:47:39,467 Speaker 19: Having two teams, So any part that I can play 2248 01:47:39,547 --> 01:47:42,387 Speaker 19: in that is where I really want to do as 2249 01:47:42,427 --> 01:47:45,947 Speaker 19: much as I can. And then that's something that I 2250 01:47:46,027 --> 01:47:48,867 Speaker 19: know if we can have more Winston Reeds, we can 2251 01:47:48,947 --> 01:47:54,107 Speaker 19: have more international transfers going to some of these bigger clubs, 2252 01:47:54,107 --> 01:47:56,587 Speaker 19: which is already happening. I mean, New Zealand football is 2253 01:47:56,587 --> 01:47:59,067 Speaker 19: a long time and long way advance with players playing 2254 01:47:59,067 --> 01:48:01,947 Speaker 19: in Europe now when even I was playing. 2255 01:48:02,707 --> 01:48:04,107 Speaker 7: More of that is what I want to have. 2256 01:48:04,107 --> 01:48:04,507 Speaker 20: Influence. 2257 01:48:04,547 --> 01:48:07,627 Speaker 2: And you mentioned Rob Morris before, and I've listened to 2258 01:48:07,627 --> 01:48:10,667 Speaker 2: other interviews and read some of your comments since you've 2259 01:48:11,147 --> 01:48:13,987 Speaker 2: invested in Auckland FC talking about Rob's influence and you 2260 01:48:14,227 --> 01:48:17,267 Speaker 2: obviously alluded to it a short time ago in our chats. 2261 01:48:17,987 --> 01:48:21,707 Speaker 2: How big an influence has he been on you? And 2262 01:48:22,267 --> 01:48:24,267 Speaker 2: as you say, maybe you could expand on his influence 2263 01:48:24,547 --> 01:48:26,107 Speaker 2: on the game here in New Zealand as well. 2264 01:48:27,187 --> 01:48:31,507 Speaker 19: Yeah, well look, Hugh Lloyd Morrison, his brother who is 2265 01:48:32,067 --> 01:48:34,347 Speaker 19: you know, he's past, but he is a hero of 2266 01:48:34,387 --> 01:48:37,467 Speaker 19: my son's actually named after herm and my grandfather, so 2267 01:48:37,507 --> 01:48:41,867 Speaker 19: they were two big influencers. And then introduced me to 2268 01:48:41,947 --> 01:48:45,987 Speaker 19: Rob and the Phoenix right at the early stages and 2269 01:48:46,027 --> 01:48:48,787 Speaker 19: I got to see firsthand how much work Rob put 2270 01:48:48,827 --> 01:48:52,707 Speaker 19: in to this and it's been phenomenal. I mean in 2271 01:48:52,827 --> 01:48:55,107 Speaker 19: terms of not just for the Wellington Phoenix as well, 2272 01:48:55,147 --> 01:48:57,907 Speaker 19: but for the ownership group. There's a couple of the 2273 01:48:57,947 --> 01:49:02,387 Speaker 19: owners who have had major, major roles in getting the 2274 01:49:02,467 --> 01:49:05,347 Speaker 19: league to where it is right now. In Melbourne City 2275 01:49:05,347 --> 01:49:08,347 Speaker 19: they've got Simon, and then I think with Wellington and 2276 01:49:08,387 --> 01:49:11,347 Speaker 19: having Rob, the owners have actually looked to Rob a 2277 01:49:11,387 --> 01:49:13,187 Speaker 19: lot from what I got to see. 2278 01:49:13,267 --> 01:49:13,747 Speaker 9: And. 2279 01:49:15,307 --> 01:49:17,907 Speaker 19: Almost leaned on him because of the way he operates. 2280 01:49:17,987 --> 01:49:20,187 Speaker 19: So for me, look, I think. 2281 01:49:20,027 --> 01:49:24,347 Speaker 20: That he is probably if not. 2282 01:49:24,787 --> 01:49:27,947 Speaker 19: I think he is actually he's the person who has 2283 01:49:28,027 --> 01:49:30,627 Speaker 19: done the most of New Zealand football in the last 2284 01:49:30,707 --> 01:49:34,307 Speaker 19: ten years and also for the A League as well 2285 01:49:34,387 --> 01:49:39,267 Speaker 19: for a New Zealand representation. Everything that I've seen him do, 2286 01:49:39,707 --> 01:49:43,587 Speaker 19: and then how we as an Auckland group and I 2287 01:49:43,627 --> 01:49:46,427 Speaker 19: look at myself in a more as football in New 2288 01:49:46,507 --> 01:49:51,947 Speaker 19: Zealand can do things together or follow and always respect 2289 01:49:52,067 --> 01:49:57,787 Speaker 19: what he did for this pathway. I just feel that 2290 01:49:57,907 --> 01:50:00,307 Speaker 19: I want to add something as well that I can 2291 01:50:01,027 --> 01:50:03,987 Speaker 19: to have any touch of what Rob's done because he's 2292 01:50:04,027 --> 01:50:05,987 Speaker 19: a legend and so you know what influence did you 2293 01:50:06,027 --> 01:50:08,427 Speaker 19: have on me. I got to watch all of that, 2294 01:50:08,667 --> 01:50:11,067 Speaker 19: I got to learn. I'd say, if there's anything that 2295 01:50:11,107 --> 01:50:12,867 Speaker 19: I've got a strength, it's just leaning off people that 2296 01:50:12,907 --> 01:50:15,107 Speaker 19: a much better than me, and you're going and using 2297 01:50:15,147 --> 01:50:15,587 Speaker 19: it myself. 2298 01:50:15,867 --> 01:50:16,067 Speaker 11: Yeah. 2299 01:50:16,307 --> 01:50:18,427 Speaker 2: What an attitude.

You know, they've got 2419 01:55:37,787 --> 01:55:39,667 Speaker 30: like a full season over here and we're playing in 2420 01:55:39,707 --> 01:55:42,627 Speaker 30: training every week now, so it was kind of a 2421 01:55:42,627 --> 01:55:44,547 Speaker 30: big motivation then to hear that a few months after 2422 01:55:44,587 --> 01:55:46,187 Speaker 30: kind of moving over here, which is kind of made 2423 01:55:46,187 --> 01:55:47,867 Speaker 30: that move a lot more worth it as well, to 2424 01:55:47,867 --> 01:55:51,147 Speaker 30: have that, you know, pinnacle world event to work towards. 2425 01:55:51,427 --> 01:55:53,147 Speaker 2: And as I mentioned at the start of the chat, 2426 01:55:53,187 --> 01:55:56,547 Speaker 2: you were the winner of the Golden Ball for best 2427 01:55:56,587 --> 01:55:59,027 Speaker 2: player at the tournament.

I mean I think I did 2435 01:56:17,027 --> 01:56:19,507 Speaker 30: my ACL. I can't remember how long it was a 2436 01:56:19,547 --> 01:56:21,827 Speaker 30: while ago now, but we didn't have much football action 2437 01:56:21,867 --> 01:56:23,627 Speaker 30: for a while, and so I've just been working on 2438 01:56:23,707 --> 01:56:25,387 Speaker 30: kind of getting back to where I was before I 2439 01:56:25,427 --> 01:56:28,067 Speaker 30: did my ACL, and yeah, I think in the Golden 2440 01:56:28,067 --> 01:56:31,307 Speaker 30: Ball maybe, Yeah, finally, Sean, you know, I've got back 2441 01:56:31,347 --> 01:56:33,227 Speaker 30: to a good place and hopefully, you know, I kind 2442 01:56:33,227 --> 01:56:36,027 Speaker 30: of can lead by example and show people in New Zealand, 2443 01:56:36,067 --> 01:56:38,707 Speaker 30: you know, these pathways in futsal and hopefully kind of 2444 01:56:38,707 --> 01:56:40,747 Speaker 30: inspire more people to play as well.

Who you know, I 2452 01:56:57,467 --> 01:56:59,307 Speaker 2: may go to a number of World Cups in the. 2453 01:56:59,267 --> 01:57:01,547 Speaker 30: Future, Yeah, no, for sure. 2454 01:57:01,627 --> 01:57:01,787 Speaker 24: Yeah. 2455 01:57:01,827 --> 01:57:03,827 Speaker 30: Differently, I think we had a really good max of 2456 01:57:03,907 --> 01:57:05,747 Speaker 30: kind of experience and kind of new players coming through, 2457 01:57:05,947 --> 01:57:08,147 Speaker 30: which goes to show obviously we have kind of grown 2458 01:57:08,187 --> 01:57:10,067 Speaker 30: the pathway New Zealand a lot like this, Like the 2459 01:57:10,347 --> 01:57:13,147 Speaker 30: high school competition is huge now, which is like really exciting, 2460 01:57:13,187 --> 01:57:15,947 Speaker 30: and we've obviously got our national league as well for 2461 01:57:15,947 --> 01:57:19,147 Speaker 30: players to move into after high school. But in terms 2462 01:57:19,187 --> 01:57:20,787 Speaker 30: of our sword at the moment, I mean there's I 2463 01:57:20,827 --> 01:57:22,467 Speaker 30: think there was five or six of us from the 2464 01:57:22,547 --> 01:57:26,387 Speaker 30: original twenty seventeen squad. They also featured in the Solomon 2465 01:57:26,427 --> 01:57:30,347 Speaker 30: Islands recently, so that's really cool, and I think, yeah, 2466 01:57:30,347 --> 01:57:32,187 Speaker 30: it's like seven or eight years you know for us, 2467 01:57:32,187 --> 01:57:35,227 Speaker 30: so that that's I guess really special. But in terms 2468 01:57:35,267 --> 01:57:37,307 Speaker 30: of the mixture that the young players, you've got kind 2469 01:57:37,307 --> 01:57:42,387 Speaker 30: of Jim mccathword Jamie Evans, Jordie Jordana Bremner as well. 2470 01:57:42,427 --> 01:57:44,547 Speaker 30: Who I mean, those two players are just unreal and 2471 01:57:44,547 --> 01:57:47,107 Speaker 30: they've kind of come through the pathway there. I think 2472 01:57:47,227 --> 01:57:51,147 Speaker 30: they're around around their twenties, so they have I guess 2473 01:57:51,147 --> 01:57:53,947 Speaker 30: a long future hopefully in futsal. That's what they want 2474 01:57:53,947 --> 01:57:56,187 Speaker 30: to do and keep doing. But they were all amazing 2475 01:57:56,467 --> 01:57:58,587 Speaker 30: in some islands and really good for them to get 2476 01:57:58,667 --> 01:58:03,547 Speaker 30: kind of international experience as well. Just the pressure, especially 2477 01:58:03,547 --> 01:58:05,187 Speaker 30: in the final, Like it's a different kind of pressure 2478 01:58:05,187 --> 01:58:07,187 Speaker 30: that you feel when you're playing a final compared to 2479 01:58:07,187 --> 01:58:08,987 Speaker 30: like the group games, I think for them to get 2480 01:58:09,027 --> 01:58:10,987 Speaker 30: that experience as well. We were actually it was two 2481 01:58:11,027 --> 01:58:12,547 Speaker 30: one at half time, so I'm not a school line 2482 01:58:13,147 --> 01:58:16,427 Speaker 30: at seven one you know, shows like a decent gap, 2483 01:58:16,547 --> 01:58:18,587 Speaker 30: but we were two one up at half time, so 2484 01:58:18,587 --> 01:58:20,307 Speaker 30: it was very close. You know, it was very tense 2485 01:58:20,347 --> 01:58:22,667 Speaker 30: out there, like the finals can go anyway, especially footsal 2486 01:58:22,827 --> 01:58:24,667 Speaker 30: was into end. You never know what's going to happen. 2487 01:58:24,747 --> 01:58:26,907 Speaker 30: So for those three young players to get that experience 2488 01:58:26,907 --> 01:58:29,747 Speaker 30: of that kind of intense game I think was really 2489 01:58:29,747 --> 01:58:31,947 Speaker 30: good and really promising for the future of our team. 2490 01:58:32,667 --> 01:58:36,227 Speaker 2: Do you have a background in the traditional eleven of 2491 01:58:36,267 --> 01:58:40,027 Speaker 2: side game, Hannah, you know outdoor football, and when did 2492 01:58:40,027 --> 01:58:42,187 Speaker 2: you start taking futsal more seriously? 2493 01:58:43,307 --> 01:58:45,187 Speaker 30: Yeah, yeah, I mean I started playing foot when I 2494 01:58:45,187 --> 01:58:48,107 Speaker 30: was five, you know, like lots of people didn't do 2495 01:58:48,187 --> 01:58:51,787 Speaker 30: in New Zealand, but yeah, I certly started playing footsal 2496 01:58:51,867 --> 01:58:55,467 Speaker 30: probably around seventeen eighteen. One of my friend's dads, actually 2497 01:58:55,547 --> 01:58:57,987 Speaker 30: Daniel Bradley, who's got one of our goalkeepers in the team. 2498 01:58:58,507 --> 01:59:00,307 Speaker 30: Her dad start actually kind of got a bunch of 2499 01:59:00,427 --> 01:59:03,467 Speaker 30: us together playing futsal when we were kind of seventeen eighteen. 2500 01:59:03,867 --> 01:59:05,467 Speaker 30: We all met. A lot of us met kind of 2501 01:59:05,467 --> 01:59:07,387 Speaker 30: through football at that time as well, and so we 2502 01:59:07,547 --> 01:59:09,747 Speaker 30: kind of just started playing for fun because we were 2503 01:59:09,747 --> 01:59:12,107 Speaker 30: all from like different parts of like Auckland, all kind 2504 01:59:12,107 --> 01:59:14,307 Speaker 30: of just came together as a friendship group and we're 2505 01:59:14,347 --> 01:59:16,787 Speaker 30: playing footsore. So that's kind of how my football journey started. 2506 01:59:16,787 --> 01:59:18,667 Speaker 30: And then yeah, a couple of years after that is 2507 01:59:18,667 --> 01:59:20,467 Speaker 30: when we kind of maybe started taking it a bit 2508 01:59:20,507 --> 01:59:24,787 Speaker 30: more seriously, so university there's kind of university competitions, and 2509 01:59:24,787 --> 01:59:27,827 Speaker 30: then in twenty seventeen the World University Games in Brazil 2510 01:59:27,947 --> 01:59:29,707 Speaker 30: was on, So that was probably the moment where it 2511 01:59:29,747 --> 01:59:32,507 Speaker 30: was like, Okay, you know, there are opportunities. Although maybe 2512 01:59:32,507 --> 01:59:34,387 Speaker 30: it's not as many opportunities as in football at the moment, 2513 01:59:34,427 --> 01:59:36,707 Speaker 30: like there was still kind of some really exciting opportunities 2514 01:59:36,707 --> 01:59:38,387 Speaker 30: and you know, I just fell in love with the game, 2515 01:59:38,467 --> 01:59:39,947 Speaker 30: so yeah, I wanted to keep on with it. 2516 01:59:40,227 --> 01:59:42,307 Speaker 2: Great stuff. So you're one of the first teams to 2517 01:59:42,347 --> 01:59:44,427 Speaker 2: qualify for the World Cup. In fact, I think the 2518 01:59:44,507 --> 01:59:47,387 Speaker 2: first team to actually qualify. The host the Philippines of course, 2519 01:59:47,667 --> 01:59:50,227 Speaker 2: will be there too, so you've got the best part 2520 01:59:50,267 --> 01:59:53,547 Speaker 2: of a year or so to prepare. Ideally, how often 2521 01:59:53,587 --> 01:59:56,667 Speaker 2: will you spend time together as a team in preparation 2522 01:59:56,787 --> 01:59:58,627 Speaker 2: for that for the first World Cup? 2523 01:59:59,827 --> 02:00:03,067 Speaker 30: Yeah, I mean, obviously I want to say, oh yeah, 2524 02:00:03,147 --> 02:00:07,907 Speaker 30: but realistically I think it would be amazing to get 2525 02:00:07,907 --> 02:00:10,467 Speaker 30: a couple of tours under our bouts before the World Cup. 2526 02:00:10,987 --> 02:00:13,947 Speaker 30: There isn't actually a date set yet, so it all 2527 02:00:14,227 --> 02:00:15,787 Speaker 30: has been said that it's going to be kind of 2528 02:00:16,067 --> 02:00:18,947 Speaker 30: October November roughly is kind of what they're looking at, 2529 02:00:18,987 --> 02:00:21,867 Speaker 30: but no kind of exact dates yet. So hopefully at 2530 02:00:21,907 --> 02:00:24,667 Speaker 30: least kind of two tours where we can go play 2531 02:00:24,707 --> 02:00:28,107 Speaker 30: a few countries beforehand would be amazing. And then for 2532 02:00:28,147 --> 02:00:30,267 Speaker 30: the players based in New Zealand, I think it'll be 2533 02:00:30,307 --> 02:00:32,707 Speaker 30: great to have kind of you know, a weekend camps 2534 02:00:33,347 --> 02:00:36,347 Speaker 30: leading up throughout the year essentially, and our national league 2535 02:00:36,427 --> 02:00:39,627 Speaker 30: is in kind of January, to aprils when players will 2536 02:00:39,627 --> 02:00:42,587 Speaker 30: be training and playing with their kind of regions, So 2537 02:00:43,547 --> 02:00:46,387 Speaker 30: especially after that, ramping it up to you know, a 2538 02:00:46,427 --> 02:00:48,747 Speaker 30: couple of sessions a month for the New Zealand based 2539 02:00:48,747 --> 02:00:51,427 Speaker 30: players at least, and then the overseas based players coming 2540 02:00:51,427 --> 02:00:54,147 Speaker 30: in for tours or camps where they see fit. But yeah, 2541 02:00:54,307 --> 02:00:56,627 Speaker 30: see budget callustrates and things like that. So yeah, we'll 2542 02:00:56,627 --> 02:00:58,507 Speaker 30: just hope for the hope for the best and yeah, 2543 02:00:58,547 --> 02:01:00,067 Speaker 30: see what we can get. 2544 02:01:00,147 --> 02:01:02,227 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I hope you they'll get a decent program 2545 02:01:02,267 --> 02:01:04,867 Speaker 2: together for you.
