They have beaten India in India 58 00:03:36,027 --> 00:03:39,067 Speaker 3: in a series. This is no fluke. They have outplayed 59 00:03:39,107 --> 00:03:41,707 Speaker 3: a very good team and they've done it in style. 60 00:03:42,467 --> 00:03:46,827 Speaker 2: This is the first time they've ever beaten India in India. 61 00:03:46,747 --> 00:03:48,827 Speaker 3: And for India on the other side of the ledger, 62 00:03:48,907 --> 00:03:54,867 Speaker 3: it's their first home defeat since twenty twelve. How about 63 00:03:54,907 --> 00:03:59,747 Speaker 3: Mitchell Satner whose Test career history said he couldn't do this. 64 00:04:00,147 --> 00:04:03,787 Speaker 2: He has incredible and historic achievement for the black Caps, 65 00:04:03,787 --> 00:04:06,067 Speaker 2: clinching a Test cricket series win in India for the 66 00:04:06,067 --> 00:04:08,547 Speaker 2: first time. The black Caps wrapping up a one hundred 67 00:04:08,627 --> 00:04:12,387 Speaker 2: and thirteen run victory in Test two in Pune, India, 68 00:04:12,427 --> 00:04:15,147 Speaker 2: bolt out for two hundred and forty five chasing three 69 00:04:15,267 --> 00:04:19,187 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty nine. Mitchell Santner again the lead act 70 00:04:19,267 --> 00:04:23,267 Speaker 2: for the black Caps six second innings wickets thirteen for 71 00:04:23,347 --> 00:04:27,067 Speaker 2: the match in forty seven innings. Prior to this Test, 72 00:04:27,547 --> 00:04:30,947 Speaker 2: Satne had never taken four wickets in an innings. Now 73 00:04:30,947 --> 00:04:34,867 Speaker 2: he has two fives in one of New Zealand's greatest wins, 74 00:04:34,947 --> 00:04:38,667 Speaker 2: and nearly twenty percent of his Test wickets have come 75 00:04:38,707 --> 00:04:42,827 Speaker 2: in this one match India. Before this had won eighteen 76 00:04:43,467 --> 00:04:48,747 Speaker 2: consecutive home Test series, their previous series defeat against England 77 00:04:48,787 --> 00:04:52,867 Speaker 2: in twenty twelve. Multi award winning sports journalist, editor of 78 00:04:52,907 --> 00:04:57,267 Speaker 2: the Bounce subscription sports newsletter, co host of the BYC podcast, 79 00:04:57,387 --> 00:05:01,347 Speaker 2: Dylan Cleaver is with us, Dylan, how do we even 80 00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:06,427 Speaker 2: start trying to explain what on earth has happened here? 81 00:05:06,467 --> 00:05:09,827 Speaker 4: In three hundred and something days It's been since Alister Cook's 82 00:05:10,027 --> 00:05:13,947 Speaker 4: very good England team beat India in India bick in 83 00:05:14,347 --> 00:05:17,947 Speaker 4: twenty twelve. So that's as good as indication as you're 84 00:05:17,947 --> 00:05:22,067 Speaker 4: going to get about what in a phenomenal achievement, almost 85 00:05:22,187 --> 00:05:25,827 Speaker 4: incomprehensible achievement, this black cap size just pulled off. 86 00:05:26,387 --> 00:05:29,507 Speaker 2: Let's go straight to Mitchell Santner. Why was he a 87 00:05:29,547 --> 00:05:33,307 Speaker 2: bowler who has never run through a team with a 88 00:05:33,347 --> 00:05:36,787 Speaker 2: red ball ever? Really well, why was he so effective? 89 00:05:38,187 --> 00:05:41,267 Speaker 4: That's a really good question. I can only guess at 90 00:05:41,267 --> 00:05:44,787 Speaker 4: the answer. But I think it was just the perfect 91 00:05:45,267 --> 00:05:49,787 Speaker 4: pace for that wicket. I think the other spinners, apart 92 00:05:49,787 --> 00:05:52,827 Speaker 4: from Washington Sunda, who almost said as good a game 93 00:05:52,867 --> 00:05:58,147 Speaker 4: as liter Centner, they tend to be darting flat spinners 94 00:05:58,467 --> 00:06:02,827 Speaker 4: and on that wicket, which Grippton turned. You could kind 95 00:06:02,867 --> 00:06:06,187 Speaker 4: of a Grippton turned if you bowled a little bit slower, 96 00:06:06,427 --> 00:06:08,467 Speaker 4: and Santa was the only one that was from really 97 00:06:08,467 --> 00:06:10,707 Speaker 4: giving it. Luke Like, if you told me before a 98 00:06:10,747 --> 00:06:12,787 Speaker 4: Test that New Zealand left arm spinner was going to 99 00:06:12,867 --> 00:06:16,827 Speaker 4: rip through India and when the test for their country, 100 00:06:16,827 --> 00:06:18,987 Speaker 4: I would have gone ajs Ptel first, and I might 101 00:06:18,987 --> 00:06:22,547 Speaker 4: have even gone rich and Revenge a second, because you know, 102 00:06:22,987 --> 00:06:24,747 Speaker 4: if it was up to me, I probably wouldn't even 103 00:06:24,787 --> 00:06:31,467 Speaker 4: picked more full eye. So yeah, I think the wicket 104 00:06:31,547 --> 00:06:34,147 Speaker 4: was just tailor made for him. And if you predicted 105 00:06:34,147 --> 00:06:36,547 Speaker 4: it beforehand in your genius. 106 00:06:36,227 --> 00:06:39,027 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, well I don't all I know for a 107 00:06:39,107 --> 00:06:42,067 Speaker 2: fact nobody did. Nobody. If you could bet on Mitchell 108 00:06:42,067 --> 00:06:44,907 Speaker 2: Center taking thirteen wickets in a Test match, any Test match, 109 00:06:45,467 --> 00:06:47,787 Speaker 2: you just wouldn't take the bet. I actually can't believe 110 00:06:47,787 --> 00:06:50,587 Speaker 2: I'm asking this, But aj S Pattel got ten for 111 00:06:50,667 --> 00:06:52,147 Speaker 2: and didn't get picked in the next Test. Do you 112 00:06:52,147 --> 00:06:54,707 Speaker 2: think Mitchell Senter will play the home Tests against England? 113 00:06:56,107 --> 00:07:01,987 Speaker 4: Yeah? Again, I'm not sure. Would I do it? Probably not, 114 00:07:02,107 --> 00:07:04,747 Speaker 4: although I do like the idea that you go with 115 00:07:04,827 --> 00:07:08,987 Speaker 4: the hot hand. Maybe this is you know, someone described 116 00:07:09,027 --> 00:07:13,587 Speaker 4: it a little bit earlier as Santner's gave graceful moment 117 00:07:14,307 --> 00:07:19,907 Speaker 4: and maybe that's a good analogy actually, and I think 118 00:07:19,947 --> 00:07:22,307 Speaker 4: you do go with the hot hand. I think he's 119 00:07:22,347 --> 00:07:24,947 Speaker 4: probably more likely to play because of the other things 120 00:07:24,947 --> 00:07:27,827 Speaker 4: he offers than an ags to tell the New Zealand 121 00:07:27,827 --> 00:07:31,827 Speaker 4: conditions for example, So maybe maybe he's hurnt the right. 122 00:07:32,147 --> 00:07:35,787 Speaker 4: But yeah, again, it's just very hard to wrap your 123 00:07:35,787 --> 00:07:39,347 Speaker 4: head around what's happened over those previous three days as 124 00:07:39,347 --> 00:07:42,027 Speaker 4: to where we're now talking about Mitchell sand There is 125 00:07:42,027 --> 00:07:45,667 Speaker 4: the key figure in this amazing test. There is victory. 126 00:07:46,067 --> 00:07:48,227 Speaker 2: Did India bat poorly in this test match? 127 00:07:49,387 --> 00:07:49,587 Speaker 5: Yeah? 128 00:07:49,627 --> 00:07:49,987 Speaker 6: They did? 129 00:07:50,387 --> 00:07:53,627 Speaker 4: They better poorly in this Test and you could maybe 130 00:07:53,747 --> 00:07:57,907 Speaker 4: right off the first Test although New Zealand played fantastically well. 131 00:07:57,947 --> 00:07:59,827 Speaker 4: I don't want to put that first Test victory in 132 00:07:59,907 --> 00:08:02,547 Speaker 4: ben down to a fluke or anything, because it wasn't. 133 00:08:03,187 --> 00:08:06,347 Speaker 4: But India were undone by conditions on the first morning 134 00:08:06,427 --> 00:08:09,907 Speaker 4: there where they misread it in New Zealand at every 135 00:08:10,067 --> 00:08:14,707 Speaker 4: edge did everything perfectly in this test. They just looked 136 00:08:14,747 --> 00:08:19,507 Speaker 4: a little bit lost at times hyper aggressive in that 137 00:08:19,627 --> 00:08:22,227 Speaker 4: second innings and it worked for a little while and 138 00:08:22,267 --> 00:08:25,187 Speaker 4: there was potential for them maybe to rest the initiative 139 00:08:25,267 --> 00:08:29,187 Speaker 4: for New Zealand when particularly when joy'swell and Gil were 140 00:08:29,227 --> 00:08:34,027 Speaker 4: going very well. But yeah, I'm not sure that they 141 00:08:34,107 --> 00:08:38,747 Speaker 4: backed their own skills against Mitchell Sadler. And again there 142 00:08:38,787 --> 00:08:41,467 Speaker 4: was something really strange about saying that sentence. 143 00:08:41,107 --> 00:08:46,427 Speaker 2: Out loud in a low scoring Test match. How crucial 144 00:08:46,587 --> 00:08:50,107 Speaker 2: was Tom Latham's eighty six and New Zealand's second innings. 145 00:08:51,027 --> 00:08:53,987 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that because Tom Latham had 146 00:08:54,027 --> 00:08:56,547 Speaker 4: been a player that was beginning to really frustrate me, 147 00:08:56,667 --> 00:08:58,947 Speaker 4: because we know what a good player he is, and 148 00:08:58,987 --> 00:09:02,987 Speaker 4: he had become almost a master of these occasional cameos 149 00:09:03,507 --> 00:09:06,707 Speaker 4: and I mean still without a sex and still an 150 00:09:06,747 --> 00:09:09,227 Speaker 4: amazing amount of Test and and for someone of his 151 00:09:09,307 --> 00:09:12,587 Speaker 4: ability without one hundred. But people who know cricket will 152 00:09:12,627 --> 00:09:15,467 Speaker 4: know that that eighty six on that wicket in that 153 00:09:15,627 --> 00:09:19,467 Speaker 4: situation was probably worth a double tone against another team 154 00:09:19,507 --> 00:09:25,707 Speaker 4: in home conditions. It was so good, he bettered so well. Yeah, 155 00:09:25,827 --> 00:09:29,227 Speaker 4: it was that, I guess, to use a wore old cliche, 156 00:09:29,387 --> 00:09:31,747 Speaker 4: it was the definition of the captain's knock. 157 00:09:33,267 --> 00:09:33,587 Speaker 7: Have we. 158 00:09:33,987 --> 00:09:37,227 Speaker 2: I mean, he's taken over the captaincy and he's done 159 00:09:37,267 --> 00:09:41,347 Speaker 2: something that no captain before him has has done He's 160 00:09:41,467 --> 00:09:44,147 Speaker 2: I mean, we won four tests over there now he's 161 00:09:44,387 --> 00:09:47,107 Speaker 2: been in charge for two of them. But did he 162 00:09:47,387 --> 00:09:49,987 Speaker 2: has he stamped his captaincy on this team or not? 163 00:09:51,027 --> 00:09:51,227 Speaker 8: Yeah? 164 00:09:51,267 --> 00:09:53,867 Speaker 4: I think he probably has. And again that's the ability 165 00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:56,147 Speaker 4: to make people like me look very silly, because I 166 00:09:56,267 --> 00:09:59,027 Speaker 4: really questioned whether he was the right man. I think 167 00:09:59,027 --> 00:10:03,547 Speaker 4: they had to remove the captaincy from the Southeast because 168 00:10:04,267 --> 00:10:07,347 Speaker 4: I guess souis own form was making tenable. But I 169 00:10:07,547 --> 00:10:10,267 Speaker 4: really questioned why you had had the captaincy from one 170 00:10:10,307 --> 00:10:13,027 Speaker 4: guy who's place in the team had to be in 171 00:10:13,107 --> 00:10:17,347 Speaker 4: doubt with his personal contributions to another guy whose personal 172 00:10:17,387 --> 00:10:20,587 Speaker 4: contributions have been pretty watery and pretty weak over the 173 00:10:20,627 --> 00:10:25,267 Speaker 4: past year at least. But yeah, I mean, perhaps he 174 00:10:25,427 --> 00:10:28,867 Speaker 4: is the perfect personality to meld that team as they 175 00:10:28,907 --> 00:10:31,547 Speaker 4: go through this what let's face it has been a 176 00:10:31,627 --> 00:10:35,507 Speaker 4: relatively awkward transition so far from that golden generation of 177 00:10:35,547 --> 00:10:38,827 Speaker 4: players who won the World Tiest Championship and has got 178 00:10:38,827 --> 00:10:40,747 Speaker 4: New Zealand to number one in the world to this 179 00:10:40,827 --> 00:10:44,747 Speaker 4: new I guess, this new phase of New Zealand cricket 180 00:10:44,827 --> 00:10:47,067 Speaker 4: and not quite sure how that's going to look yet. 181 00:10:47,107 --> 00:10:48,667 Speaker 4: But I guess the signs are looking up. 182 00:10:48,947 --> 00:10:51,547 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that you land on such an interesting point, Dylan, 183 00:10:51,547 --> 00:10:53,187 Speaker 2: because I look at this team and most of them 184 00:10:53,227 --> 00:10:55,827 Speaker 2: are still north of thirty, right, So that transition has 185 00:10:55,867 --> 00:10:57,547 Speaker 2: still got quite a way to go, hasn't it. 186 00:10:58,827 --> 00:11:01,787 Speaker 4: Yeah, it had, and we're not sure about the talent 187 00:11:01,867 --> 00:11:06,507 Speaker 4: levels below. Ratch and Revenger has been an absolute revelation. 188 00:11:07,107 --> 00:11:12,267 Speaker 4: Glenn Phillips does Glenn Phillips things and looks exciting, but yeah, 189 00:11:12,307 --> 00:11:16,147 Speaker 4: there's still I mean, Kan Williamson's obviously creaking, and Sow 190 00:11:16,267 --> 00:11:17,067 Speaker 4: He's creaking. 191 00:11:19,587 --> 00:11:19,827 Speaker 6: You know. 192 00:11:19,907 --> 00:11:23,827 Speaker 4: Tom Layton's form had been I think it was warranted 193 00:11:23,867 --> 00:11:26,147 Speaker 4: to look really closely at that and wonder whether he 194 00:11:26,227 --> 00:11:28,507 Speaker 4: was ever going to be the same. Devin Conway, who's 195 00:11:28,507 --> 00:11:32,827 Speaker 4: north of thirty is again he's sort of found some 196 00:11:32,987 --> 00:11:35,227 Speaker 4: for now, but it doesn't look the same Parr he 197 00:11:35,347 --> 00:11:38,307 Speaker 4: was a couple of years ago. So there's still questions 198 00:11:38,467 --> 00:11:41,667 Speaker 4: to be asked. Let's black Caps team, and we need 199 00:11:41,707 --> 00:11:44,707 Speaker 4: to keep asking them. But let's not take anything away 200 00:11:44,747 --> 00:11:46,507 Speaker 4: from this protecular. 201 00:11:46,027 --> 00:11:49,027 Speaker 2: Moment you mentioned, Devin Conway. There is everything fifty and 202 00:11:49,147 --> 00:11:50,947 Speaker 2: not a small sample size just the fore warnings, but 203 00:11:50,987 --> 00:11:53,387 Speaker 2: a couple of half centuries over here. Can we stop 204 00:11:53,387 --> 00:11:55,707 Speaker 2: worrying about Devin Conway now or are you still a 205 00:11:55,707 --> 00:11:58,187 Speaker 2: bit concerned that he's not quite the player he was? 206 00:11:58,867 --> 00:12:03,067 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, yeah, that's an interesting point when it comes 207 00:12:03,067 --> 00:12:05,547 Speaker 4: to crooked. I sometimes tend to be a little bit 208 00:12:05,547 --> 00:12:08,467 Speaker 4: of a black hat and look at the problems. And 209 00:12:09,347 --> 00:12:12,307 Speaker 4: Devin has done very well on this tour and made 210 00:12:12,347 --> 00:12:15,107 Speaker 4: some really vital contributions. But there's still things that I 211 00:12:15,187 --> 00:12:17,307 Speaker 4: look at him when he's at the crease and think 212 00:12:17,947 --> 00:12:21,507 Speaker 4: his game is just a little bit messed up. He's 213 00:12:21,547 --> 00:12:24,947 Speaker 4: a player that's really confusing me. At the moment we're 214 00:12:24,987 --> 00:12:27,547 Speaker 4: in the space of two balls. He can go from 215 00:12:27,547 --> 00:12:30,587 Speaker 4: looking like just an absolute world class left ended opening 216 00:12:30,627 --> 00:12:34,187 Speaker 4: bat to the next delivery, the one that's sort of 217 00:12:34,187 --> 00:12:36,907 Speaker 4: angling in at him, looking a little bit like a 218 00:12:36,947 --> 00:12:44,307 Speaker 4: club player. But I can't sult his mental application. And 219 00:12:44,947 --> 00:12:47,907 Speaker 4: he clearly once runs very badly, and he's almost willed 220 00:12:47,987 --> 00:12:50,827 Speaker 4: himself to runs on this tour, and I think that 221 00:12:50,947 --> 00:12:51,827 Speaker 4: goes a long way. 222 00:12:52,867 --> 00:12:56,907 Speaker 2: All right, let's circle back to this series. Win. You've 223 00:12:56,907 --> 00:12:59,427 Speaker 2: watched a lot of cricket, as have I. Dylan, Can 224 00:12:59,427 --> 00:13:03,067 Speaker 2: you put this into context for us? How significant a series. 225 00:13:03,147 --> 00:13:05,187 Speaker 2: Win is this for New Zealand. 226 00:13:06,547 --> 00:13:07,787 Speaker 4: I think it's the best. 227 00:13:08,027 --> 00:13:08,587 Speaker 9: I really do. 228 00:13:10,027 --> 00:13:11,107 Speaker 6: Like people often. 229 00:13:10,947 --> 00:13:16,227 Speaker 4: Benchmark the series against Australia and Australia in eighty five 230 00:13:17,267 --> 00:13:21,547 Speaker 4: the Headley series, I think, if you, I mean, we 231 00:13:21,627 --> 00:13:24,627 Speaker 4: often do that through rastin Tomorrow wanting to ruin in Australia. 232 00:13:24,627 --> 00:13:27,307 Speaker 4: Don't give me Rong's brilliant. You look at that Australian 233 00:13:27,307 --> 00:13:30,387 Speaker 4: team and it's not a peak Australian team by any 234 00:13:30,387 --> 00:13:33,427 Speaker 4: streets of the imagination. You look at this Indian team 235 00:13:33,467 --> 00:13:36,867 Speaker 4: and you've got Rowert Shama, You've got you know, very coldly, 236 00:13:36,947 --> 00:13:40,907 Speaker 4: that King, You've got Judasia, You've got Ashwin, you've got 237 00:13:40,947 --> 00:13:44,347 Speaker 4: some of the spectacular young talent in the world, and 238 00:13:44,467 --> 00:13:49,667 Speaker 4: Gill and Jay's well, that's a phenomenally good Indian team 239 00:13:49,827 --> 00:13:51,347 Speaker 4: that they have just taken. 240 00:13:51,387 --> 00:13:54,827 Speaker 6: Apart to know the series that they're. 241 00:13:54,587 --> 00:14:00,107 Speaker 4: Going to a dead rubber in Mumbai, it's almost impossible 242 00:14:00,667 --> 00:14:03,747 Speaker 4: to wrap your head around. So you know, maybe I'm 243 00:14:04,707 --> 00:14:09,027 Speaker 4: using shocking recency there, but I honestly do. I think 244 00:14:09,107 --> 00:14:11,067 Speaker 4: still when I look at it in the cold, lighter day, 245 00:14:11,067 --> 00:14:13,787 Speaker 4: I will come to the same conclusion that this is 246 00:14:13,827 --> 00:14:14,747 Speaker 4: as good as it gets. 247 00:14:14,827 --> 00:14:18,387 Speaker 2: Yeah, Dylan, I agree, I have to agree. Thanks for 248 00:14:18,627 --> 00:14:20,947 Speaker 2: taking our call mate, Dylan Cleaver. You can read him. 249 00:14:21,427 --> 00:14:25,227 Speaker 2: His subscription newsletter is excellent. It's called the Bounce. Just 250 00:14:25,747 --> 00:14:28,427 Speaker 2: search the Bounce Dylling Cleaver, you'll find out more about it. 251 00:14:28,467 --> 00:14:31,107 Speaker 2: But your turn now. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. 252 00:14:31,627 --> 00:14:35,067 Speaker 2: Let us celebrate this win for starters, But can you 253 00:14:35,107 --> 00:14:38,067 Speaker 2: put it into context? How big is this? I'm like Dylan, 254 00:14:38,107 --> 00:14:41,987 Speaker 2: I've always used that nineteen eighty five series against Australia 255 00:14:42,027 --> 00:14:45,827 Speaker 2: as the benchmark. But this is just so utterly historic 256 00:14:46,067 --> 00:14:51,347 Speaker 2: and so completely rare, so totally out of the blue. 257 00:14:53,187 --> 00:14:54,747 Speaker 2: I'm sure you've heard some of these numbers. Since the 258 00:14:54,747 --> 00:14:58,387 Speaker 2: start of twenty thirteen, India have played fifty three Test 259 00:14:58,427 --> 00:15:02,267 Speaker 2: matches at home. They've won forty two of them, sixteen 260 00:15:02,307 --> 00:15:05,707 Speaker 2: of the host bine innings and only lost four of 261 00:15:05,747 --> 00:15:09,107 Speaker 2: the twenty th of the sorry four of the fifty three, 262 00:15:09,667 --> 00:15:11,787 Speaker 2: and two of those were to us in the last fortnight. 263 00:15:12,747 --> 00:15:15,107 Speaker 2: The only sides to win series in India since two thousand, 264 00:15:15,227 --> 00:15:18,467 Speaker 2: South Africa in two thousand, Australia and four England into 265 00:15:18,587 --> 00:15:21,227 Speaker 2: twenty twelve are now us. Some of the greatest teams 266 00:15:21,267 --> 00:15:24,947 Speaker 2: in history, couldn't win in India. Steve War's Australians never 267 00:15:24,987 --> 00:15:28,027 Speaker 2: won there. Graham Smith's prote has never won their Viv 268 00:15:28,107 --> 00:15:32,067 Speaker 2: Richard's West Indies never won a series in India. We've 269 00:15:32,107 --> 00:15:36,667 Speaker 2: been touring there for seventy years, seven oh seventy years 270 00:15:37,387 --> 00:15:40,347 Speaker 2: and have won just four Test matches nineteen sixty nine, 271 00:15:40,467 --> 00:15:44,387 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight and these two. So is this actually 272 00:15:44,467 --> 00:15:48,267 Speaker 2: bigger than winning the World Test Championship? Is this the 273 00:15:48,307 --> 00:15:52,667 Speaker 2: cricketing everest winning a series in the hardest place there 274 00:15:52,747 --> 00:15:55,147 Speaker 2: is to do that? And just before we go to 275 00:15:55,187 --> 00:16:00,067 Speaker 2: the lines, Mitchell Santner Mitchell Santna thirteen for one hundred 276 00:16:00,067 --> 00:16:03,747 Speaker 2: and fifty seven, third best figures ever in Test matches 277 00:16:03,787 --> 00:16:07,627 Speaker 2: for New Zealand, third best Test figures ever by anybody 278 00:16:08,107 --> 00:16:11,947 Speaker 2: on Indian soil. Mitchell Sander has taken the same number 279 00:16:11,987 --> 00:16:14,747 Speaker 2: of Test wickets in the last two days as he 280 00:16:14,827 --> 00:16:19,387 Speaker 2: took in ten Test matches across three years between October 281 00:16:19,427 --> 00:16:24,907 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen and November twenty nineteen. I could go on, 282 00:16:25,587 --> 00:16:27,347 Speaker 2: but let's get to the lines because they're starting to 283 00:16:27,347 --> 00:16:31,987 Speaker 2: fill up as we celebrate something pretty special. Hello Jellius, Yeah. 284 00:16:31,867 --> 00:16:35,427 Speaker 10: Great, what a great occasion for New Zealand and I 285 00:16:35,467 --> 00:16:39,507 Speaker 10: was just chatting to Andy and the fact that they 286 00:16:39,587 --> 00:16:42,587 Speaker 10: pushed the allbacks after you you normally start with the allbacks, 287 00:16:42,587 --> 00:16:46,947 Speaker 10: so that says at all And I would say beating 288 00:16:47,427 --> 00:16:50,027 Speaker 10: India in India is a bit like beating the allbacks 289 00:16:50,067 --> 00:16:54,787 Speaker 10: at Eden Park. So yeah, it's just a fantastic and 290 00:16:55,467 --> 00:16:59,707 Speaker 10: let's not forget the white ferns. What a fortnight it's 291 00:16:59,707 --> 00:17:01,027 Speaker 10: been for New Zealand crickets. 292 00:17:01,427 --> 00:17:04,467 Speaker 2: Absolutely incredible, Dallas, And just on the Eden Park analogy, 293 00:17:04,507 --> 00:17:06,307 Speaker 2: you're right, but what it would mean. It would mean 294 00:17:07,187 --> 00:17:09,387 Speaker 2: a team coming here and winning twice at Eden Park 295 00:17:09,827 --> 00:17:12,947 Speaker 2: when it just happened so infrequently, so infrequently. 296 00:17:13,907 --> 00:17:18,147 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a good analogy, I mean, but also the 297 00:17:19,427 --> 00:17:22,027 Speaker 10: I was thinking about the white fans that merely occur 298 00:17:22,547 --> 00:17:26,627 Speaker 10: and Santana, they both have the courage to toss the 299 00:17:26,667 --> 00:17:29,547 Speaker 10: ball up and get that loop going, you know, above 300 00:17:29,587 --> 00:17:33,147 Speaker 10: the eye line, and it's just great. That's the couragest 301 00:17:33,147 --> 00:17:35,187 Speaker 10: thing to do. And of course Shane warned to that 302 00:17:36,107 --> 00:17:38,427 Speaker 10: it's the courageous thing to do and it's just great 303 00:17:38,427 --> 00:17:43,067 Speaker 10: to see slowballers get rewarded for their their courage and 304 00:17:43,187 --> 00:17:43,827 Speaker 10: doing that, you. 305 00:17:43,787 --> 00:17:47,147 Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, it's a great point, Dallas. And the crazy 306 00:17:47,187 --> 00:17:49,707 Speaker 2: thing isn't and Dylan said it as well, is that 307 00:17:49,747 --> 00:17:52,387 Speaker 2: if you'd said, if you'd said, okay before this Test match, right, 308 00:17:52,747 --> 00:17:54,107 Speaker 2: we're going to win this Test match in one of 309 00:17:54,107 --> 00:17:56,227 Speaker 2: our spinners is going to get thirteen wickets, There's no 310 00:17:56,307 --> 00:17:58,107 Speaker 2: way you would have landed on Mitchell Santa for that. 311 00:17:59,467 --> 00:17:59,627 Speaker 5: No. 312 00:18:00,707 --> 00:18:02,827 Speaker 10: And also we did it without Kin Williamson. 313 00:18:02,907 --> 00:18:08,547 Speaker 2: Correct, correct, imagine if it'd been there we would have 314 00:18:08,587 --> 00:18:11,387 Speaker 2: won by four hundred. No, but I mean it's it's look, 315 00:18:11,747 --> 00:18:13,547 Speaker 2: it's a low scoring Test match and I thought I 316 00:18:13,547 --> 00:18:15,467 Speaker 2: thought Tom Latham was eighty six and the second innings 317 00:18:15,507 --> 00:18:17,987 Speaker 2: was really crucial as well. Thanks for kicking us off, Dallas. 318 00:18:18,427 --> 00:18:20,867 Speaker 2: And you make great points about the analogies with Santner 319 00:18:20,947 --> 00:18:23,067 Speaker 2: and and Mellly kerr yeap giving it a bit of 320 00:18:23,067 --> 00:18:25,387 Speaker 2: flight and that's what Mitchell Santner did. His height helps 321 00:18:25,427 --> 00:18:27,787 Speaker 2: that obviously, but you still got toss it up there 322 00:18:27,787 --> 00:18:29,267 Speaker 2: and you know, and but he was turning it a 323 00:18:29,547 --> 00:18:32,227 Speaker 2: lot of catchers in the slips, Darrel Mitchell, those big 324 00:18:32,267 --> 00:18:35,867 Speaker 2: bucket hands of his and the slips terrific. Twelve twenty five. 325 00:18:35,947 --> 00:18:41,987 Speaker 9: Hey Brett, Hi, Yeah, yeah, that was absolutely outstanding. I 326 00:18:42,147 --> 00:18:47,867 Speaker 9: was just glued to the TV. It almost almost helped 327 00:18:47,867 --> 00:18:50,107 Speaker 9: the wounds if that came. We don't speak of them 328 00:18:50,147 --> 00:18:51,107 Speaker 9: two thousand. 329 00:18:50,827 --> 00:18:55,307 Speaker 2: And nine times nearly nearly Brett. 330 00:18:56,387 --> 00:19:01,187 Speaker 9: And Mitchell's stantner just even its attitude, how calmed he was, 331 00:19:02,147 --> 00:19:04,787 Speaker 9: It just took her all on this try.

I found that 501 00:28:05,827 --> 00:28:11,107 Speaker 11: quite into so anyway, just just overall fantastic result came out, 502 00:28:11,107 --> 00:28:14,427 Speaker 11: I know where in good on Ian Smith for fronting 503 00:28:14,507 --> 00:28:16,707 Speaker 11: up and saying you know, mate, I was tuffed it up. 504 00:28:17,067 --> 00:28:18,467 Speaker 11: Set it was a revelation. 505 00:28:19,947 --> 00:28:22,907 Speaker 2: Love it, love it, saying ye look like like you. 506 00:28:22,947 --> 00:28:25,307 Speaker 2: I've always thought test cricket is the best cricket. I 507 00:28:25,347 --> 00:28:28,467 Speaker 2: know that it doesn't. It doesn't measure up financially to 508 00:28:28,507 --> 00:28:30,867 Speaker 2: the juggernaut that is T twenty. But I agree with 509 00:28:30,907 --> 00:28:32,947 Speaker 2: you on the fifty over stuff. Got to find a 510 00:28:32,947 --> 00:28:36,947 Speaker 2: way to I mean, the irrelevance now of bilateral fifty 511 00:28:36,947 --> 00:28:40,107 Speaker 2: over series. You know, look, if it was just if 512 00:28:40,107 --> 00:28:42,427 Speaker 2: it was just test test matches and T twenties and 513 00:28:42,627 --> 00:28:46,027 Speaker 2: fifty overs was just restricted to tournaments I'd be quite happy, 514 00:28:46,587 --> 00:28:51,627 Speaker 2: quite happy T twenty pays the Bills Test cricketers. It's 515 00:28:51,667 --> 00:28:57,947 Speaker 2: the fabric of the game. Andrew, Hi, Okay, Barney, here 516 00:28:57,947 --> 00:28:59,027 Speaker 2: you go. Very good, Andrew. 517 00:29:00,587 --> 00:29:02,547 Speaker 14: I think goodness for the black Cats, so we don't 518 00:29:02,547 --> 00:29:04,547 Speaker 14: have to talk about awful the bits Worth. 519 00:29:04,747 --> 00:29:06,587 Speaker 2: Oh, they were okay in the first half. Andrew, I 520 00:29:06,587 --> 00:29:07,947 Speaker 2: thought they were okay in the first half. 521 00:29:09,707 --> 00:29:12,947 Speaker 6: AnyWho, I think we can agree to disagree on that. 522 00:29:14,787 --> 00:29:16,787 Speaker 14: You reckon, Mitch Satin that can play first five? 523 00:29:18,707 --> 00:29:21,587 Speaker 2: Well, I reckon, I reckon yesterday. I reckon you give him, 524 00:29:21,627 --> 00:29:23,947 Speaker 2: you give him any positions on any sporting team. He's 525 00:29:23,947 --> 00:29:25,387 Speaker 2: just got to He's got a hot hand at the moment, 526 00:29:25,387 --> 00:29:27,187 Speaker 2: is they? But I look, did you see that coming? 527 00:29:27,267 --> 00:29:27,547 Speaker 15: Really? 528 00:29:28,907 --> 00:29:29,107 Speaker 16: Well? 529 00:29:30,627 --> 00:29:34,347 Speaker 14: No, not to the extent, but I am surprised at 530 00:29:34,387 --> 00:29:39,347 Speaker 14: the surprise shown that Mitch Sentner's performance. For the first time, 531 00:29:39,427 --> 00:29:42,667 Speaker 14: he's been able to bowl on a wicket that offers assistance. 532 00:29:43,667 --> 00:29:46,627 Speaker 14: You know, when he bowls over here, we all marvel 533 00:29:46,667 --> 00:29:48,867 Speaker 14: at as flight and control as we used to do 534 00:29:49,067 --> 00:29:52,827 Speaker 14: with the inventory. But now that he's been put in 535 00:29:52,907 --> 00:29:55,987 Speaker 14: conditions where not only can he use that flight and control, 536 00:29:56,067 --> 00:29:58,747 Speaker 14: he actually has a pitch that turns and to be 537 00:29:58,787 --> 00:30:03,227 Speaker 14: fair turned square at times. Yeah, I think he's a 538 00:30:03,267 --> 00:30:08,987 Speaker 14: fantastic cricketer and too, you know, I'd be almost going 539 00:30:09,027 --> 00:30:12,427 Speaker 14: down the road of let's not have green seema friendby 540 00:30:12,507 --> 00:30:14,907 Speaker 14: wickets in New Zealand. They have one that turns on 541 00:30:14,987 --> 00:30:20,587 Speaker 14: day four and five. We have players that can exploit. 542 00:30:20,267 --> 00:30:23,507 Speaker 2: You well that that famous sum stat that A J. S. 543 00:30:23,507 --> 00:30:25,707 Speaker 2: Battel has never taken a Test wicket in New Zealand 544 00:30:25,987 --> 00:30:29,147 Speaker 2: is one that you know. And you know we're known 545 00:30:29,187 --> 00:30:31,347 Speaker 2: for our dirty green seamers and that's I'm sure what 546 00:30:31,347 --> 00:30:33,827 Speaker 2: we'll get for these three Tests against England. But if 547 00:30:33,827 --> 00:30:35,587 Speaker 2: we are to develop our spin bowlers, yeah, we've got 548 00:30:35,587 --> 00:30:37,307 Speaker 2: to give them something to bowl on. Back here, I'm 549 00:30:37,347 --> 00:30:41,467 Speaker 2: just looking at Mitchell Sander's bowling in the Subcontinent and 550 00:30:41,467 --> 00:30:43,787 Speaker 2: he hasn't had a heck of a lot of opportunity. 551 00:30:43,787 --> 00:30:45,787 Speaker 2: But you're right. I look it back at twenty sixteen 552 00:30:45,867 --> 00:30:49,667 Speaker 2: against India and Campo. He got got five wickets in Yeah, 553 00:30:49,667 --> 00:30:51,347 Speaker 2: he got five wigets in a Test match, got four 554 00:30:51,387 --> 00:30:54,227 Speaker 2: at Eden Garden, so he got nine across two Test 555 00:30:54,227 --> 00:30:56,907 Speaker 2: matches over there. Yeah, I think, but I think you're right. 556 00:30:57,107 --> 00:31:01,387 Speaker 2: I think back here because our wickets are so not 557 00:31:01,587 --> 00:31:04,907 Speaker 2: conducive to his type of bowling that he just becomes 558 00:31:04,947 --> 00:31:07,267 Speaker 2: a stop bowler ready, doesn't he just tying up one end? 559 00:31:07,707 --> 00:31:09,067 Speaker 2: Never runs through a team? 560 00:31:09,147 --> 00:31:12,427 Speaker 14: Yeah, and does a fantastic Joe Bennett. No spinner in 561 00:31:12,667 --> 00:31:15,187 Speaker 14: New Zealand conditions is going to run through a team, 562 00:31:15,467 --> 00:31:18,187 Speaker 14: you know. If We've had some pretty good spinners tour 563 00:31:18,307 --> 00:31:21,027 Speaker 14: this country, and I can't think of many that have 564 00:31:21,107 --> 00:31:24,347 Speaker 14: run through a team, you know, like he did in 565 00:31:24,347 --> 00:31:28,467 Speaker 14: India over the last few days. Yeah, he said, I've 566 00:31:28,547 --> 00:31:30,587 Speaker 14: been a long time trying to think of the works. 567 00:31:30,627 --> 00:31:33,547 Speaker 9: I said that, and linguid as the one I settled off. 568 00:31:33,787 --> 00:31:37,827 Speaker 14: I don't think I've ever seen a sportsman he was 569 00:31:37,907 --> 00:31:42,667 Speaker 14: more relexed. They'd be lying down. He just like everything 570 00:31:42,787 --> 00:31:46,667 Speaker 14: he does seems I don't know, it's like he's playing 571 00:31:46,667 --> 00:31:47,747 Speaker 14: the game in slow motion. 572 00:31:48,307 --> 00:31:50,907 Speaker 2: Yeah. And maybe that's the secret, Andrew, Maybe that's the secret. 573 00:31:51,307 --> 00:31:54,787 Speaker 2: Maybe you know, a relaxed state of mind. Well, they 574 00:31:54,787 --> 00:31:56,667 Speaker 2: say it's good for golf, don't they. They always say 575 00:31:56,667 --> 00:31:59,627 Speaker 2: that if you if you can clear your mind and 576 00:31:59,267 --> 00:32:01,707 Speaker 2: be pretty relaxed, you'll be a good golfer. And Mitchell 577 00:32:01,747 --> 00:32:05,147 Speaker 2: Senter's a scratch golfer. Maybe it translates across the cricket 578 00:32:05,147 --> 00:32:06,947 Speaker 2: as well.

All the 594 00:32:43,147 --> 00:32:45,307 Speaker 15: third tests were in control and it rained, so. 595 00:32:45,307 --> 00:32:46,027 Speaker 18: We would deny it. 596 00:32:47,867 --> 00:32:49,387 Speaker 15: Unbelievable, but may. 597 00:32:49,307 --> 00:32:50,547 Speaker 6: Look, I'll be the first time. 598 00:32:50,587 --> 00:32:53,667 Speaker 15: I'm sure others have, but we are an unreserved apology 599 00:32:53,707 --> 00:32:57,587 Speaker 15: to Mitch Center. Sorry Mitch, but can I just put 600 00:32:57,587 --> 00:33:00,987 Speaker 15: this in perspective. Before this Test match, Satan had played 601 00:33:00,987 --> 00:33:05,027 Speaker 15: twenty eight tests most and pretty miserable, averaging forty two 602 00:33:05,187 --> 00:33:08,787 Speaker 15: point two runs per wicked. Cain Williamson has a better 603 00:33:08,827 --> 00:33:11,427 Speaker 15: bowling average than than Mitch Sentner. 604 00:33:12,187 --> 00:33:15,187 Speaker 2: Has changed now, yes, and when you. 605 00:33:15,147 --> 00:33:18,387 Speaker 15: Look at that context, he was terrible against Sri Lanka 606 00:33:19,347 --> 00:33:23,507 Speaker 15: was the one test. I'ms done. The cracketing world's done. 607 00:33:23,587 --> 00:33:24,427 Speaker 8: But good on him. 608 00:33:24,547 --> 00:33:27,507 Speaker 15: And it just shows as other causes said Piney, we 609 00:33:27,587 --> 00:33:30,147 Speaker 15: need to have a Test, but are playing at home 610 00:33:30,667 --> 00:33:33,307 Speaker 15: and a lot more tests. It's shocking. 611 00:33:33,467 --> 00:33:36,467 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's absolutely shocking. I totally agreed to her. And 612 00:33:36,787 --> 00:33:38,347 Speaker 2: and you look at other teams and we have to 613 00:33:38,387 --> 00:33:40,747 Speaker 2: back aspiners. Look at Australia right, no matter if it's 614 00:33:40,787 --> 00:33:43,667 Speaker 2: the dirtiest green seamer out there, Nathan Lyon plays every Test. 615 00:33:44,907 --> 00:33:46,747 Speaker 15: And this is the other thing, because I mean with 616 00:33:47,427 --> 00:33:50,587 Speaker 15: Glenn Phillips and that Test we lost in Wellington where 617 00:33:50,387 --> 00:33:52,307 Speaker 15: we had the Aussies on the ropes and then got 618 00:33:52,307 --> 00:33:54,987 Speaker 15: that one hundred plus tenth wicket stand where didn't bowl 619 00:33:54,987 --> 00:33:58,187 Speaker 15: Phillips for the second inning. For the second thing, so 620 00:33:58,227 --> 00:34:01,867 Speaker 15: they've made mistake after mistake, poor decision after poor decision. 621 00:34:01,907 --> 00:34:04,147 Speaker 15: I didn't think Senter deserved to be on this tour. 622 00:34:04,667 --> 00:34:07,507 Speaker 15: I looked at the ICC Bowl rankings for Tests. He's 623 00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:13,307 Speaker 15: ranked seventy sixth in the world. I mean, just defies belief. 624 00:34:13,347 --> 00:34:16,427 Speaker 15: But just to quick shout out to Latham because he 625 00:34:16,627 --> 00:34:20,067 Speaker 15: was playing ballsy attacking with the in out and yes 626 00:34:20,107 --> 00:34:22,747 Speaker 15: their run rate was round five, six, seven, even eight 627 00:34:22,907 --> 00:34:27,267 Speaker 15: and when the new ball was fresh. That was really 628 00:34:27,347 --> 00:34:31,307 Speaker 15: gutsy bold captain c which we didn't see from from Southey. 629 00:34:32,067 --> 00:34:32,587 Speaker 6: And when you. 630 00:34:32,587 --> 00:34:35,067 Speaker 15: Think that Lathan came into this Test series him being 631 00:34:35,067 --> 00:34:37,707 Speaker 15: out in the first over of three of his four 632 00:34:37,747 --> 00:34:40,507 Speaker 15: previous innings before this Indian tour and the last Test 633 00:34:40,547 --> 00:34:44,427 Speaker 15: against Srilanka, Lathan was out in the first over twice 634 00:34:44,667 --> 00:34:46,787 Speaker 15: in that second Test. I don't think he's Illeoten has 635 00:34:46,827 --> 00:34:50,427 Speaker 15: had that before twice in the first over, so he 636 00:34:50,627 --> 00:34:53,667 Speaker 15: was in no form. Satana well, he was making up 637 00:34:53,747 --> 00:34:56,147 Speaker 15: the numbers and both of them have turned out hero. 638 00:34:56,307 --> 00:34:58,907 Speaker 15: So from Zara at a hero, we tip our hats. Wonderful, 639 00:34:58,907 --> 00:34:59,547 Speaker 15: wonderful time. 640 00:34:59,467 --> 00:35:00,227 Speaker 11: For New Zealand cricket. 641 00:35:00,427 --> 00:35:02,507 Speaker 2: Wonderful stuff from you Dovo, Good on you mate, thanks 642 00:35:02,547 --> 00:35:04,787 Speaker 2: for calling.

I saw that stat yesterday, so you reckon? 653 00:35:31,427 --> 00:35:35,187 Speaker 2: I mean, what were we doing sending teams to India 654 00:35:35,227 --> 00:35:36,827 Speaker 2: with captains from other places? 655 00:35:36,827 --> 00:35:40,227 Speaker 5: I ask myself, that's right, Yes, we've changed the captains. 656 00:35:40,227 --> 00:35:41,267 Speaker 5: Earlier we'd have been right. 657 00:35:41,907 --> 00:35:44,307 Speaker 2: Exactly What did you make of it? Those Sean? I mean, 658 00:35:44,307 --> 00:35:45,427 Speaker 2: what an achievement? 659 00:35:46,067 --> 00:35:49,867 Speaker 5: Oh yeah yeah, well Billians and sat you know, everybody's 660 00:35:50,227 --> 00:35:53,947 Speaker 5: moans about him usually, but he's always there and he's 661 00:35:54,307 --> 00:35:55,187 Speaker 5: he's consistent. 662 00:35:55,707 --> 00:35:59,267 Speaker 2: Yeah, well he I think the I think the reason 663 00:35:59,267 --> 00:36:01,867 Speaker 2: there's frustration aroundhim is because he just doesn't get wickets. 664 00:36:02,307 --> 00:36:03,907 Speaker 2: This is this is an outline. Like I said at 665 00:36:03,947 --> 00:36:05,987 Speaker 2: the top of the show, Shawn, twenty percent of his 666 00:36:06,067 --> 00:36:07,747 Speaker 2: Test wickets came in the last two days. 667 00:36:07,947 --> 00:36:10,307 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I think that's where. 668 00:36:10,187 --> 00:36:11,907 Speaker 2: The frustration comes from is the fact that he just 669 00:36:12,267 --> 00:36:13,907 Speaker 2: if he's picked as a spinner, he needs to be 670 00:36:13,947 --> 00:36:16,227 Speaker 2: able to pick up, you know, pick up red ball wickets, 671 00:36:16,347 --> 00:36:17,867 Speaker 2: and he just hasn't been able to do that for 672 00:36:17,907 --> 00:36:20,587 Speaker 2: whatever reason. Back here, it's harder, right, the pictures aren't 673 00:36:20,587 --> 00:36:24,467 Speaker 2: conducive to it. Over there, he's often been I don't 674 00:36:24,467 --> 00:36:25,907 Speaker 2: think he's been the front line spinner. In fact, in 675 00:36:25,907 --> 00:36:27,627 Speaker 2: this game he's not. He's not the number one spinner. 676 00:36:27,667 --> 00:36:29,427 Speaker 2: I think you look at this, this eleven that's been 677 00:36:29,427 --> 00:36:31,267 Speaker 2: picked for this Test match and so a Jes Bettel's 678 00:36:31,267 --> 00:36:33,867 Speaker 2: a number one spinner. Mitch Center's next, and then you 679 00:36:33,907 --> 00:36:36,547 Speaker 2: know Glenn Phillipson Ruchen didn't get much of a go really. 680 00:36:36,587 --> 00:36:39,227 Speaker 2: But as Dylan cleav said, if you were going to pick, 681 00:36:39,667 --> 00:36:41,627 Speaker 2: if someone said he before the Test and he jellan 682 00:36:41,627 --> 00:36:43,387 Speaker 2: spinner is going to get thirteen wickets, there's no way 683 00:36:43,427 --> 00:36:46,147 Speaker 2: you land on Mitchell Center. You land on ajs Bettel. 684 00:36:46,747 --> 00:36:49,547 Speaker 2: Thanks Shawan and good good flying of the red and 685 00:36:49,587 --> 00:36:52,947 Speaker 2: Black flag from you, mate, Tony high Hi. 686 00:36:53,267 --> 00:36:56,467 Speaker 19: I guess that cricket's never going to be up for 687 00:36:56,507 --> 00:36:59,067 Speaker 19: the Team of the Awards for the Hulberg's ever again. 688 00:36:59,467 --> 00:37:01,427 Speaker 19: And I don't think everyone has been in the past, 689 00:37:02,227 --> 00:37:03,347 Speaker 19: but they've got. 690 00:37:03,187 --> 00:37:04,067 Speaker 11: To get it this time. 691 00:37:04,467 --> 00:37:09,787 Speaker 19: This is so incredible, phenomenal, sorry that it outshines any 692 00:37:09,787 --> 00:37:13,387 Speaker 19: other sporting tame ever. 693 00:37:13,867 --> 00:37:15,867 Speaker 2: Well, I think the black Caps, sorry Tony, think the 694 00:37:15,867 --> 00:37:17,747 Speaker 2: black Caps won that they did one it in twenty 695 00:37:17,747 --> 00:37:20,147 Speaker 2: one when they won the World Test Championship. But I 696 00:37:20,187 --> 00:37:23,227 Speaker 2: guess then you think to yourself, Okay, yes, this is 697 00:37:23,267 --> 00:37:25,667 Speaker 2: a this is a wonderful achievement. And this probably correlates 698 00:37:25,707 --> 00:37:27,507 Speaker 2: to the White Funds as well. The White Funds have 699 00:37:27,507 --> 00:37:29,867 Speaker 2: won a World Cup, but they were terrible before that. 700 00:37:30,107 --> 00:37:31,907 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that the black Caps were terrible. But 701 00:37:32,027 --> 00:37:34,347 Speaker 2: apart from the series, if you look at if you 702 00:37:34,427 --> 00:37:38,427 Speaker 2: hover above the year, what's the year being like or 703 00:37:38,507 --> 00:37:40,307 Speaker 2: do you just look at this one pinnacle event say 704 00:37:40,307 --> 00:37:41,547 Speaker 2: well that that trumps everything. 705 00:37:42,747 --> 00:37:45,187 Speaker 19: Well, I think it does you it's just you know, 706 00:37:45,427 --> 00:37:48,827 Speaker 19: the comparison with Everest is is there. I mean, there's 707 00:37:48,867 --> 00:37:50,907 Speaker 19: never going to be a bigger mountain and I doest 708 00:37:51,627 --> 00:37:55,107 Speaker 19: well everyone does it now, but under the circumstances of 709 00:37:55,147 --> 00:37:57,667 Speaker 19: the day, no one was ever going to do what 710 00:37:57,747 --> 00:38:03,267 Speaker 19: Hillary did. Again in the circumstances of the day, and 711 00:38:03,947 --> 00:38:07,507 Speaker 19: New Zealand will never beat India in it at cricket 712 00:38:08,027 --> 00:38:12,227 Speaker 19: in your my lifetime and probably not in yours or 713 00:38:12,267 --> 00:38:13,947 Speaker 19: our children's, our grandchildren. 714 00:38:14,427 --> 00:38:17,347 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's when we've got four and seventy years, Tony. 715 00:38:17,387 --> 00:38:19,667 Speaker 2: It's not a great strike rate, is it that you 716 00:38:19,707 --> 00:38:22,187 Speaker 2: know that? I've seen those conversations as well. Thanks for 717 00:38:22,227 --> 00:38:24,427 Speaker 2: you come mate, around the Helbergs and things like that. 718 00:38:24,587 --> 00:38:28,267 Speaker 2: I think this feels like a moment of the year candidate. 719 00:38:29,827 --> 00:38:31,667 Speaker 2: You know when you when you're looking for your team 720 00:38:31,707 --> 00:38:35,667 Speaker 2: of the year and it's tough in Olympic year, isn't it? 721 00:38:35,707 --> 00:38:38,107 Speaker 2: Because you've got the gold medalists too always, I mean 722 00:38:38,147 --> 00:38:40,427 Speaker 2: that's a pinnacle as well. But then and how do 723 00:38:40,467 --> 00:38:42,427 Speaker 2: you compare how do you compare winning a gold medal 724 00:38:42,427 --> 00:38:48,027 Speaker 2: and rugby sevens at the Olympic Games, or what the 725 00:38:48,027 --> 00:38:50,987 Speaker 2: the K four kayak and crew did, or what even 726 00:38:51,027 --> 00:38:54,027 Speaker 2: what Lisa Carrington and and Aalisia Hoskin did as a 727 00:38:54,027 --> 00:38:56,587 Speaker 2: team in the K two. How do you compare that 728 00:38:57,347 --> 00:39:00,347 Speaker 2: to what the Black Caps have done here and utterly 729 00:39:00,587 --> 00:39:05,747 Speaker 2: historic achievement which has never been done before across seven 730 00:39:05,867 --> 00:39:09,547 Speaker 2: decades of trying. Does that trump and Olympic gold medal. 731 00:39:09,587 --> 00:39:13,347 Speaker 2: It's an impossible comparison to make, but my gut just 732 00:39:13,387 --> 00:39:17,187 Speaker 2: tells me that what's happened here in Poune is a 733 00:39:17,227 --> 00:39:20,347 Speaker 2: candidate for sports Moment of the Year. That's how it 734 00:39:20,387 --> 00:39:22,667 Speaker 2: feels to me anyway.

You know we started, 818 00:43:59,107 --> 00:44:01,667 Speaker 8: they put us on our heels, but we stayed really 819 00:44:01,667 --> 00:44:05,427 Speaker 8: composed and some young guys have really got us thinking 820 00:44:05,667 --> 00:44:07,107 Speaker 8: and on our and it's exciting. 821 00:44:07,147 --> 00:44:07,347 Speaker 2: You know. 822 00:44:07,467 --> 00:44:11,347 Speaker 8: Like last time we played Japan we won by four points, 823 00:44:11,347 --> 00:44:15,747 Speaker 8: so to actually put them way away quite convincingly at 824 00:44:15,747 --> 00:44:17,147 Speaker 8: the end was pleasing. 825 00:44:17,587 --> 00:44:20,187 Speaker 2: So how much pressure are some of these players who 826 00:44:20,187 --> 00:44:22,947 Speaker 2: played in this test mates putting on some of the 827 00:44:22,987 --> 00:44:25,227 Speaker 2: incumbents I guess even the ones who have gone on 828 00:44:25,547 --> 00:44:26,467 Speaker 2: ahead to England. 829 00:44:28,027 --> 00:44:31,347 Speaker 8: Well, look at any any All Black you know, whether 830 00:44:31,427 --> 00:44:34,467 Speaker 8: not their debut, or they've played fifty odd tests, or 831 00:44:34,707 --> 00:44:36,547 Speaker 8: you know that they're in the single figures of test 832 00:44:36,587 --> 00:44:40,627 Speaker 8: matches that they get an opportunity. So was obviously sent 833 00:44:40,707 --> 00:44:43,147 Speaker 8: some boys to London that are over there, but we're 834 00:44:43,147 --> 00:44:46,107 Speaker 8: pretty clear on the squad. I think after tonight that 835 00:44:46,147 --> 00:44:48,547 Speaker 8: we want to pack it against England. But you know, 836 00:44:48,587 --> 00:44:51,107 Speaker 8: we celebrate the fact that you know, we're too new 837 00:44:51,107 --> 00:44:54,187 Speaker 8: all Blacks. That that's special on its own, and any 838 00:44:54,227 --> 00:44:57,067 Speaker 8: Test winners special. But I just think with how we 839 00:44:57,107 --> 00:44:59,547 Speaker 8: did this week and that the pressure they put on 840 00:44:59,587 --> 00:45:03,627 Speaker 8: with selection and around multiple positions, I think it's really encouraging. 841 00:45:03,747 --> 00:45:05,267 Speaker 2: I just want to pick up on that point, Jase. 842 00:45:05,307 --> 00:45:07,747 Speaker 2: The players who have been sent on to England, I 843 00:45:07,747 --> 00:45:10,867 Speaker 2: think we can all assume they'll start next weekend. Were 844 00:45:10,907 --> 00:45:13,987 Speaker 2: you asking the players who played against Japan to put 845 00:45:14,027 --> 00:45:17,067 Speaker 2: pressure on you as selectors as you look to name 846 00:45:17,107 --> 00:45:19,547 Speaker 2: you twenty three for next weekend and for the big 847 00:45:19,587 --> 00:45:20,227 Speaker 2: Test to come. 848 00:45:21,027 --> 00:45:23,587 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's a fair question. Look, yeah, we 849 00:45:23,667 --> 00:45:25,867 Speaker 8: don't say we want them to put pressure on us. 850 00:45:26,067 --> 00:45:27,987 Speaker 8: We just want them to take their opportunity. Or if 851 00:45:27,987 --> 00:45:31,347 Speaker 8: we talk too much for younger guys that are trying 852 00:45:31,347 --> 00:45:33,187 Speaker 8: to find their way at the Test there or about pressure, 853 00:45:33,747 --> 00:45:35,747 Speaker 8: well that that will make them tighten up. But you know, 854 00:45:35,747 --> 00:45:37,587 Speaker 8: if you look at a few individuals, if you look 855 00:45:37,627 --> 00:45:43,747 Speaker 8: at Passilotossi, he started his first Test match as tidied today. 856 00:45:43,787 --> 00:45:47,067 Speaker 8: He went really well, Sammapenny Fee. Now I've got another 857 00:45:47,107 --> 00:45:49,987 Speaker 8: opportunity at six. He hasn't had much test foot. He 858 00:45:50,467 --> 00:45:53,347 Speaker 8: did really well. Even I suffer more, you know, like 859 00:45:53,627 --> 00:45:56,827 Speaker 8: I'm just talking the forwards point of view, but it 860 00:45:56,867 --> 00:46:00,267 Speaker 8: gets us thinking, and obviously Cam Raguard back as well 861 00:46:00,307 --> 00:46:04,547 Speaker 8: with something. Well, you know, it just makes us think 862 00:46:04,547 --> 00:46:07,587 Speaker 8: differently about our selection and make the boys understand this's 863 00:46:07,627 --> 00:46:09,427 Speaker 8: going to be a hard team to pack. And when 864 00:46:09,427 --> 00:46:12,627 Speaker 8: we get that, and when we build these guys confidence 865 00:46:12,667 --> 00:46:15,347 Speaker 8: and they get exposed to test rugby and pressure moments, 866 00:46:15,787 --> 00:46:16,507 Speaker 8: that's exciting. 867 00:46:17,187 --> 00:46:20,187 Speaker 2: How happy were you with your ship, Peace, Yeah, I 868 00:46:20,227 --> 00:46:20,707 Speaker 2: think we had. 869 00:46:21,027 --> 00:46:25,667 Speaker 8: I think we had some good moments. I think, you know, 870 00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:28,427 Speaker 8: we got some quality ball where we need it and 871 00:46:28,467 --> 00:46:30,867 Speaker 8: when we needed it. I thought Patty did a great 872 00:46:30,947 --> 00:46:33,427 Speaker 8: job during the week and calling our line out options. 873 00:46:33,827 --> 00:46:36,667 Speaker 8: For example, they obviously scored a couple of tries fast 874 00:46:36,707 --> 00:46:39,947 Speaker 8: off set piece plays that we'll need to look at 875 00:46:40,427 --> 00:46:42,307 Speaker 8: in the review. That will give us something to think 876 00:46:42,307 --> 00:46:45,307 Speaker 8: about as we head to London. But I think overall 877 00:46:46,347 --> 00:46:49,227 Speaker 8: we got the quality ball we needed. But you know, 878 00:46:49,427 --> 00:46:50,907 Speaker 8: by no means satisfied. 879 00:46:50,947 --> 00:46:54,267 Speaker 2: I guess you mentioned Patrick to Piloto there he wore 880 00:46:54,307 --> 00:46:55,987 Speaker 2: the armband of course in this one. Can you tell 881 00:46:56,027 --> 00:46:59,427 Speaker 2: us about Patrick twee Piloto's week as All Blacks captain 882 00:46:59,467 --> 00:47:00,147 Speaker 2: for the first time. 883 00:47:01,427 --> 00:47:04,747 Speaker 8: Oh, been outstanding, to be honest, that's it was a 884 00:47:04,747 --> 00:47:08,027 Speaker 8: real moment when you know, we had a conversation as coaches. 885 00:47:08,547 --> 00:47:09,947 Speaker 8: You know, we knew what was going to happen with 886 00:47:11,107 --> 00:47:14,187 Speaker 8: Scooter heating over to England early with the other boys, 887 00:47:15,107 --> 00:47:18,027 Speaker 8: and we talked around it. We're really clear who our 888 00:47:18,027 --> 00:47:20,347 Speaker 8: captain was going to be for this week, and we 889 00:47:20,427 --> 00:47:23,627 Speaker 8: let Patty know really well, really early, and you know, 890 00:47:23,707 --> 00:47:25,307 Speaker 8: right from the time raised the rung him. He was 891 00:47:25,947 --> 00:47:28,227 Speaker 8: an emotional moment for him, you know, with his family 892 00:47:28,227 --> 00:47:29,747 Speaker 8: and to lead the All Blacks and I think he's 893 00:47:29,787 --> 00:47:32,387 Speaker 8: the eighty second captain. It's not many out of twelve 894 00:47:32,467 --> 00:47:35,667 Speaker 8: hundred plus All Blacks, so he really got around the boys. 895 00:47:35,747 --> 00:47:38,107 Speaker 8: He gave them so much confidence just how he delivers 896 00:47:38,147 --> 00:47:41,987 Speaker 8: his message. His experienced All Black now and got around 897 00:47:42,027 --> 00:47:45,947 Speaker 8: the younger boys and just had little conversations during the 898 00:47:45,947 --> 00:47:48,467 Speaker 8: week behind the scenes. We're not that's at dinner or 899 00:47:48,907 --> 00:47:52,627 Speaker 8: after a meeting and just helping guys out and couldn't 900 00:47:52,627 --> 00:47:55,147 Speaker 8: speak high enough, and he played exceptional well too, I thought. 901 00:47:55,267 --> 00:47:57,627 Speaker 2: Indeed indeed he did. And you talk about the twelve 902 00:47:57,667 --> 00:48:00,627 Speaker 2: hundred plus all Blacks, you added two new names All 903 00:48:00,667 --> 00:48:03,587 Speaker 2: Black twelve hundred and twenty two Peter Larkeye, All Black 904 00:48:03,587 --> 00:48:05,827 Speaker 2: twelve hundred and twenty three is Ruben Love. Couple of 905 00:48:05,827 --> 00:48:08,387 Speaker 2: tries for Reuben Love on his day? Bot. How do 906 00:48:08,427 --> 00:48:10,587 Speaker 2: you celebrate new boys in the all Blacks? 907 00:48:12,347 --> 00:48:12,547 Speaker 5: Oh? 908 00:48:12,667 --> 00:48:14,707 Speaker 8: Really special was We just had a you know, we 909 00:48:14,787 --> 00:48:17,547 Speaker 8: call it the All Black circle, and we're really grateful 910 00:48:17,547 --> 00:48:22,907 Speaker 8: that we had very metallic Aaron Smith, Dane Coles, Sam 911 00:48:22,947 --> 00:48:27,187 Speaker 8: Whitelocke in the sheds with us, and we celebrated and 912 00:48:28,427 --> 00:48:30,467 Speaker 8: Sam came presented him with his all Black tie and 913 00:48:31,107 --> 00:48:34,107 Speaker 8: to Pete he's been rooming with them all week, and then. 914 00:48:35,747 --> 00:48:35,987 Speaker 5: T J. 915 00:48:36,107 --> 00:48:39,747 Speaker 8: Perrenara presented Reuben with his So it's just great to 916 00:48:39,747 --> 00:48:43,027 Speaker 8: have those legends in the room. You know, three hundred 917 00:48:43,067 --> 00:48:47,227 Speaker 8: test all blacks. It's pretty special. And obviously Colsey he's 918 00:48:47,227 --> 00:48:48,827 Speaker 8: had a lot to do with the Saffo and that 919 00:48:48,907 --> 00:48:51,707 Speaker 8: sort of thing from Afar, So having those boys in 920 00:48:51,747 --> 00:48:53,707 Speaker 8: the shed that are over here in Japan was a 921 00:48:53,747 --> 00:48:56,627 Speaker 8: special moment. So that's a celebration. But we'll get around 922 00:48:56,627 --> 00:48:59,027 Speaker 8: them and stay in at the hotel tonight and with 923 00:48:59,187 --> 00:49:02,347 Speaker 8: an early flight to London, so we'll get around them 924 00:49:02,387 --> 00:49:04,667 Speaker 8: and have some dinner and enjoy it. 925 00:49:04,867 --> 00:49:08,067 Speaker 2: Around the sort of fifteen that mark, you brought six 926 00:49:08,107 --> 00:49:09,547 Speaker 2: players on at the same time. It looked like a 927 00:49:09,547 --> 00:49:12,107 Speaker 2: bit of a bomb squad all coming on together. Was 928 00:49:12,107 --> 00:49:14,427 Speaker 2: that always the plan to bring on multiple subs at 929 00:49:14,427 --> 00:49:15,947 Speaker 2: the same time with about half an hour ago. 930 00:49:17,627 --> 00:49:21,267 Speaker 8: Now, look, you talk about different situations that might happen 931 00:49:21,307 --> 00:49:22,867 Speaker 8: in the game, but you know, we were a point 932 00:49:23,107 --> 00:49:26,507 Speaker 8: where we're a few points up, weren't we, and we're 933 00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,907 Speaker 8: just like, right, let's get all the boys on. And man, 934 00:49:29,947 --> 00:49:32,267 Speaker 8: that can have its challenges at times as well, and 935 00:49:32,747 --> 00:49:34,867 Speaker 8: we probably lost a little bit of momentum, whether or 936 00:49:34,867 --> 00:49:36,947 Speaker 8: not that was through the changes or our decision making 937 00:49:36,987 --> 00:49:38,507 Speaker 8: on need to look a little bit further at that. 938 00:49:38,547 --> 00:49:41,467 Speaker 8: But you know, those boys have all trained really well, 939 00:49:41,547 --> 00:49:43,827 Speaker 8: so get them out there and get into it. You 940 00:49:43,827 --> 00:49:46,147 Speaker 8: know someone's going to be brave, and we did that, 941 00:49:46,307 --> 00:49:50,707 Speaker 8: and you know all they all had good little individual moments. 942 00:49:50,947 --> 00:49:54,787 Speaker 2: So you've used forty two players now in twenty twenty four, 943 00:49:54,827 --> 00:49:56,347 Speaker 2: and there have been a bunch of guys who played 944 00:49:56,347 --> 00:49:57,907 Speaker 2: against Japan who haven't had a heck of a lot 945 00:49:57,907 --> 00:50:00,307 Speaker 2: of opportunity up until now, and you mentioned a couple 946 00:50:00,387 --> 00:50:02,867 Speaker 2: of them before, Jase, how much of a coaching challenge 947 00:50:02,947 --> 00:50:05,707 Speaker 2: is it to manage a large group of players, all 948 00:50:05,787 --> 00:50:08,427 Speaker 2: of who want to play, but many of who will 949 00:50:08,547 --> 00:50:11,507 Speaker 2: only get limited opportunities. How challenging is that as a 950 00:50:11,507 --> 00:50:12,067 Speaker 2: coaching group. 951 00:50:13,867 --> 00:50:18,067 Speaker 8: Yeah, look, it can be if you're not upfront. It's 952 00:50:18,107 --> 00:50:20,267 Speaker 8: a challenge. If you're not upfront with him, you know, 953 00:50:21,427 --> 00:50:23,987 Speaker 8: you just can't, you know. But they know that we're 954 00:50:23,987 --> 00:50:26,387 Speaker 8: not just going to give out all black caps. You know, 955 00:50:26,507 --> 00:50:28,707 Speaker 8: we want to pick our best test team that we 956 00:50:28,787 --> 00:50:30,987 Speaker 8: think will win the test in front of us. And 957 00:50:31,507 --> 00:50:35,507 Speaker 8: they needed to train extremely well, put pressure on the 958 00:50:35,587 --> 00:50:37,947 Speaker 8: other boys during the training week. You know, they still 959 00:50:37,947 --> 00:50:40,787 Speaker 8: get opportunities at training. We review each training hard and 960 00:50:41,587 --> 00:50:44,587 Speaker 8: that sometimes life isn't all black, and well it is. 961 00:50:44,627 --> 00:50:46,667 Speaker 8: Life is an all black that you're going to get 962 00:50:46,667 --> 00:50:50,587 Speaker 8: a limited opportunitey, but when you do get it, take 963 00:50:50,627 --> 00:50:51,067 Speaker 8: your chance. 964 00:50:51,147 --> 00:50:51,307 Speaker 21: You know. 965 00:50:51,467 --> 00:50:53,667 Speaker 8: Probably an example that is have a penny fee area 966 00:50:54,387 --> 00:50:56,427 Speaker 8: bit of a you know, play two tests against England. 967 00:50:56,467 --> 00:50:58,787 Speaker 8: He knows himself and he wasn't quite where he needed 968 00:50:58,787 --> 00:51:00,907 Speaker 8: to be, and he's gone away, he put on a 969 00:51:00,907 --> 00:51:03,147 Speaker 8: bit of weight, some good size, and now he's come 970 00:51:03,147 --> 00:51:04,587 Speaker 8: back and played this Test and he should have a 971 00:51:04,587 --> 00:51:08,227 Speaker 8: lot of confidence from it. So the margins are close 972 00:51:08,507 --> 00:51:11,787 Speaker 8: and small for those players to perform at the highest 973 00:51:11,867 --> 00:51:15,347 Speaker 8: level on the world stage at Test rugby. But we 974 00:51:15,427 --> 00:51:18,587 Speaker 8: made no excuse about that because that's that's how the 975 00:51:18,627 --> 00:51:19,467 Speaker 8: All Blacks should. 976 00:51:19,267 --> 00:51:19,907 Speaker 12: Be, all right. 977 00:51:19,987 --> 00:51:22,147 Speaker 2: And the players who have gone on ahead to England, 978 00:51:22,147 --> 00:51:24,947 Speaker 2: they left before the Japan Test, what will they have 979 00:51:25,067 --> 00:51:27,347 Speaker 2: been doing before the rest of you arrive and catch 980 00:51:27,387 --> 00:51:27,707 Speaker 2: them up. 981 00:51:28,587 --> 00:51:30,387 Speaker 8: Yes, so we obviously we had a bit of a 982 00:51:30,427 --> 00:51:34,147 Speaker 8: hitdout during the week, just a bit of a training 983 00:51:34,787 --> 00:51:38,987 Speaker 8: a couple of scenarios against Panasonic, so that was really good. 984 00:51:38,987 --> 00:51:44,307 Speaker 8: And they've got a game plan effectively already that we've 985 00:51:44,307 --> 00:51:46,987 Speaker 8: been talking around, for example, put in context their line 986 00:51:46,987 --> 00:51:49,347 Speaker 8: out menu and what we sort of feel we'll run 987 00:51:49,387 --> 00:51:51,867 Speaker 8: there with with Tupoby and Scott Barretty and over there. 988 00:51:51,907 --> 00:51:53,227 Speaker 8: So they'll have a look at that. But there's no 989 00:51:53,267 --> 00:51:56,787 Speaker 8: guarantees that they are the guys that will be in 990 00:51:56,787 --> 00:51:59,067 Speaker 8: that squad either, but you know, there's a fair indication 991 00:51:59,147 --> 00:52:01,467 Speaker 8: that we're sent them there for a reason and to 992 00:52:01,507 --> 00:52:04,587 Speaker 8: get ahead of the travel that's coming up. But they 993 00:52:04,667 --> 00:52:07,147 Speaker 8: know which game we want to play. We've had leaders 994 00:52:07,187 --> 00:52:09,427 Speaker 8: meetings were needed to so that we can hit the 995 00:52:09,467 --> 00:52:12,467 Speaker 8: Northern Tour running because efectfully, we've got a four week 996 00:52:12,467 --> 00:52:15,867 Speaker 8: for England and in six days at Ireland, so they 997 00:52:15,907 --> 00:52:17,627 Speaker 8: need to be on the front foot and that's why 998 00:52:17,667 --> 00:52:21,667 Speaker 8: we did it to keep these boys. Are those boys fresh? 999 00:52:22,827 --> 00:52:24,627 Speaker 8: Three big tests, three or four big tests in a row? 1000 00:52:24,787 --> 00:52:27,587 Speaker 2: All right? Yeah, exciting times ahead for you and for 1001 00:52:27,747 --> 00:52:30,627 Speaker 2: All Blacks fans as well. Congratulations on the win over Japan. Jason, 1002 00:52:30,787 --> 00:52:31,587 Speaker 2: thanks for jetting to us. 1003 00:52:31,587 --> 00:52:33,947 Speaker 8: Safe travels, mate, no worries, Thank you. 1004 00:52:34,507 --> 00:52:36,827 Speaker 2: Thank you, Jase. Jason Ryan there, assistant coach of the 1005 00:52:36,827 --> 00:52:40,267 Speaker 2: All Blacks sixty four nineteen. Your thoughts you've heard from 1006 00:52:40,307 --> 00:52:42,747 Speaker 2: Jason Ryan. He seemed pretty happy with large parts of it. 1007 00:52:42,987 --> 00:52:46,627 Speaker 2: You know, I think really good first half, messy, scratchy, imprecise, 1008 00:52:46,707 --> 00:52:48,987 Speaker 2: second probably didn't really matter by then they did it 1009 00:52:48,987 --> 00:52:50,947 Speaker 2: And as far as the score is concerned, I know, 1010 00:52:51,027 --> 00:52:53,667 Speaker 2: we know demand perfection from the All Blacks, or we 1011 00:52:54,027 --> 00:52:56,347 Speaker 2: certainly like it when they play well and it's on 1012 00:52:56,387 --> 00:52:59,147 Speaker 2: the first half they did, oh eight one hundred and 1013 00:52:59,187 --> 00:53:03,227 Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty. Any observations on the All Blacks Test 1014 00:53:03,267 --> 00:53:08,187 Speaker 2: match yesterday in particular, anybody there who you thought put 1015 00:53:08,267 --> 00:53:11,667 Speaker 2: real pressure on the selectors in terms of their decision making. 1016 00:53:11,747 --> 00:53:13,787 Speaker 2: Jason Ryan said that we don't want the players to 1017 00:53:13,827 --> 00:53:17,267 Speaker 2: put pressure on us. We just want them to play well. 1018 00:53:17,507 --> 00:53:17,707 Speaker 13: Well. 1019 00:53:17,787 --> 00:53:23,987 Speaker 2: I think playing well does give the selection, the selection committee, 1020 00:53:23,987 --> 00:53:27,267 Speaker 2: the selectors, whoever is who picks the team, it does 1021 00:53:27,307 --> 00:53:31,467 Speaker 2: give them some food for thought. So who played well? 1022 00:53:32,067 --> 00:53:33,667 Speaker 2: Because we know that the guys who have gone on 1023 00:53:33,707 --> 00:53:36,267 Speaker 2: ahead are going to start next week all things being equal, right, 1024 00:53:36,347 --> 00:53:39,907 Speaker 2: even though Jason Ryan said then they're not necessarily the 1025 00:53:39,907 --> 00:53:41,627 Speaker 2: guys are going to start, you'd have to think, I mean, 1026 00:53:42,107 --> 00:53:46,427 Speaker 2: that's been sent on for a reason, so that all start. 1027 00:53:46,467 --> 00:53:49,787 Speaker 2: But who yesterday put their hand up and said, you 1028 00:53:49,827 --> 00:53:51,827 Speaker 2: know what, I should start too, or at the very 1029 00:53:51,947 --> 00:53:53,947 Speaker 2: least be in the twenty three who played well? Oh 1030 00:53:54,027 --> 00:53:55,667 Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten O y, who's still out 1031 00:53:55,667 --> 00:54:00,547 Speaker 2: for you when you're watching that game? Who caught your eye? 1032 00:54:02,547 --> 00:54:06,027 Speaker 2: Wallace to Titi again. He was very very good in 1033 00:54:06,067 --> 00:54:10,467 Speaker 2: the last Test against Australia and Wellington and excellent again, 1034 00:54:10,947 --> 00:54:13,067 Speaker 2: and I know there's lots of chat about what number 1035 00:54:13,107 --> 00:54:16,387 Speaker 2: he wears. He always played at number eight for the Chiefs, 1036 00:54:16,387 --> 00:54:19,867 Speaker 2: didn't they And it was just barnstorming there got the 1037 00:54:19,947 --> 00:54:23,187 Speaker 2: chance to wear the eight from the start yesterday. What 1038 00:54:23,307 --> 00:54:25,547 Speaker 2: a player he could be. Wallace to tt I thought 1039 00:54:25,547 --> 00:54:29,587 Speaker 2: he was among the best out there. I thought Billy 1040 00:54:29,627 --> 00:54:32,387 Speaker 2: Proctor was very good. I don't think he has had 1041 00:54:32,427 --> 00:54:35,787 Speaker 2: the opportunities this year that his ability and his form 1042 00:54:35,907 --> 00:54:39,747 Speaker 2: has warranted. I remember one drop ball. Otherwise pretty good though, 1043 00:54:39,787 --> 00:54:43,147 Speaker 2: scooed to try. As I said yesterday, I reckon he 1044 00:54:43,147 --> 00:54:46,187 Speaker 2: has earned at least the right to be in the 1045 00:54:46,227 --> 00:54:49,667 Speaker 2: conversation to start at thirteen over one of the next 1046 00:54:49,667 --> 00:54:52,267 Speaker 2: three weekends. It might not be England because I think 1047 00:54:52,347 --> 00:54:54,467 Speaker 2: Riko Yowani has gone ahead, so he's probably going to 1048 00:54:54,467 --> 00:55:00,227 Speaker 2: start at thirteen against England. I think Billy Proctor has 1049 00:55:00,707 --> 00:55:02,387 Speaker 2: earned the right, I reckon, to be in the conversation 1050 00:55:02,467 --> 00:55:05,467 Speaker 2: for the third end jumper against France or Island. Some 1051 00:55:05,507 --> 00:55:07,507 Speaker 2: I'm a penny fee now. Look. I think he bounced 1052 00:55:07,547 --> 00:55:10,827 Speaker 2: back really well. He was really disappointing against England in 1053 00:55:10,867 --> 00:55:13,307 Speaker 2: those first two Test matches, and off the bench against 1054 00:55:13,307 --> 00:55:15,147 Speaker 2: South Africa. What was that in joe Berg or Cape Town? 1055 00:55:15,187 --> 00:55:17,067 Speaker 2: One of the two anyway, came off the bench and 1056 00:55:18,267 --> 00:55:20,067 Speaker 2: jas Ryan again even said there you know, by his 1057 00:55:20,107 --> 00:55:22,067 Speaker 2: own admission, he wasn't where he needed to be. I 1058 00:55:22,067 --> 00:55:23,827 Speaker 2: thought some a penny for now. Had a really good 1059 00:55:23,827 --> 00:55:26,787 Speaker 2: game yesterday, showed physicality. Yes, of course it was against 1060 00:55:26,787 --> 00:55:30,427 Speaker 2: the lesser opposition, but it'll give him confidence. Patrick two 1061 00:55:30,427 --> 00:55:34,387 Speaker 2: plot two led well, scored a try, played well, a 1062 00:55:34,427 --> 00:55:36,027 Speaker 2: really special moment for him and I think Mark de 1063 00:55:36,107 --> 00:55:40,387 Speaker 2: Layer outpointed severa Reese so probably earns the right wing 1064 00:55:40,427 --> 00:55:42,427 Speaker 2: spot for next week. Caleb Clark's gone on her head 1065 00:55:42,467 --> 00:55:44,387 Speaker 2: to help play on the left wing. I think Mark 1066 00:55:44,387 --> 00:55:48,187 Speaker 2: to Layer probably outpointed sever rees yesterday. Anyone who caught 1067 00:55:48,187 --> 00:55:50,387 Speaker 2: you're right, anyone who you think has given the selector 1068 00:55:50,467 --> 00:55:53,027 Speaker 2: some food for thought or any thoughts in general on 1069 00:55:53,067 --> 00:55:56,267 Speaker 2: the Test match. It almost seems like a bit of 1070 00:55:56,307 --> 00:55:58,547 Speaker 2: a bit of an entree to the main course, doesn't it. 1071 00:55:58,587 --> 00:56:01,547 Speaker 2: Sort of one to get out of the way and 1072 00:56:01,587 --> 00:56:05,907 Speaker 2: then the big three course meal to come England, Island, 1073 00:56:05,907 --> 00:56:08,787 Speaker 2: France over the next three weekends. Can't wait back with 1074 00:56:08,867 --> 00:56:10,587 Speaker 2: your cause on the All Blacks after this one twenty 1075 00:56:10,587 --> 00:56:11,547 Speaker 2: two one Weekend Sport. 1076 00:56:12,147 --> 00:56:15,667 Speaker 1: The biggest things in sports are on Weekend Sports with 1077 00:56:15,867 --> 00:56:19,987 Speaker 1: Jason Paine and GJ. Gubnomes, New Zealand's most trusted home 1078 00:56:20,027 --> 00:56:21,427 Speaker 1: builder News Dogs they'd. 1079 00:56:21,267 --> 00:56:23,867 Speaker 2: Be one twenty five. Barry on Texas Pint. We've still 1080 00:56:23,867 --> 00:56:27,307 Speaker 2: got a few problems with our bench, our historically strong 1081 00:56:27,347 --> 00:56:30,427 Speaker 2: bench not functioning the way it should be. Yeah, they 1082 00:56:30,427 --> 00:56:33,947 Speaker 2: put on six once, didn't they? Bell Talking, the Fussy 1083 00:56:34,067 --> 00:56:36,707 Speaker 2: new Lord, Larkeye and pet Nada all came on at 1084 00:56:36,747 --> 00:56:39,067 Speaker 2: the same time, didn't they? Then David Harvilly and then 1085 00:56:39,147 --> 00:56:40,707 Speaker 2: later on Rubin Love. We've got a couple of tries 1086 00:56:40,787 --> 00:56:44,347 Speaker 2: right at the end. Yeah, it felt weird, didn't it. 1087 00:56:44,347 --> 00:56:50,067 Speaker 2: It's not us. We don't bomb squad. We tend to 1088 00:56:50,347 --> 00:56:53,347 Speaker 2: bring players on as and when required. Yes, sometimes a 1089 00:56:53,347 --> 00:56:54,787 Speaker 2: couple of front rows come on at the same time. 1090 00:56:54,787 --> 00:56:56,747 Speaker 2: But to see six come on at once, it just 1091 00:56:56,747 --> 00:56:59,467 Speaker 2: didn't feel right from us. Even Jason Ryan said, you know, 1092 00:56:59,667 --> 00:57:01,627 Speaker 2: we didn't plan to do it it. Sometimes, you know, 1093 00:57:01,827 --> 00:57:05,827 Speaker 2: things happen. Yeah, I'm not sure I loved it, and 1094 00:57:06,067 --> 00:57:09,187 Speaker 2: you're right, I'm not sure we got great impact from 1095 00:57:09,187 --> 00:57:11,947 Speaker 2: our bench yesterday. Berry. Another box tick, though, was the 1096 00:57:11,947 --> 00:57:14,427 Speaker 2: return of Cam roy Guard six months out with a 1097 00:57:14,507 --> 00:57:17,107 Speaker 2: knee injury. He was back out there last night again. 1098 00:57:17,187 --> 00:57:21,507 Speaker 2: But I mean and and you know, unsurprisingly a bit scratchy. 1099 00:57:21,867 --> 00:57:23,787 Speaker 2: Had one opportunity when he had he had about six 1100 00:57:23,827 --> 00:57:25,787 Speaker 2: guys outside of didn't he and he dummed and went 1101 00:57:25,787 --> 00:57:27,307 Speaker 2: for the line and didn't make it. Luckily the All 1102 00:57:27,307 --> 00:57:29,707 Speaker 2: Black School shortly afterwards. But yeah, good to see Cam 1103 00:57:29,787 --> 00:57:32,387 Speaker 2: roy Guard back out there. How was he feeling post match? 1104 00:57:32,427 --> 00:57:33,947 Speaker 2: Here's Elliot Smith with Cam roy Guard. 1105 00:57:34,187 --> 00:57:35,547 Speaker 18: Cam how did it feel to be back out in 1106 00:57:35,667 --> 00:57:36,427 Speaker 18: All Black? Susie? 1107 00:57:37,067 --> 00:57:39,867 Speaker 21: He has alsome loved it. It was something that I 1108 00:57:39,907 --> 00:57:42,227 Speaker 21: sort of set my eyes towards when I first injured myself. 1109 00:57:42,307 --> 00:57:44,067 Speaker 21: It's probably six and a half seven months ago now, 1110 00:57:44,147 --> 00:57:47,667 Speaker 21: so fred to sort of come true sort of the 1111 00:57:47,707 --> 00:57:49,907 Speaker 21: goals that we set and to be out there tonight 1112 00:57:50,027 --> 00:57:53,147 Speaker 21: was pretty special from a personal perspective. And I guess 1113 00:57:53,147 --> 00:57:55,307 Speaker 21: to get the performance that were after with a win 1114 00:57:55,387 --> 00:57:59,267 Speaker 21: obviously is I guess pleasing as well and pretty stoked 1115 00:57:59,267 --> 00:58:01,107 Speaker 21: for Reuben and Pete to get their debuts. It was 1116 00:58:01,387 --> 00:58:03,067 Speaker 21: special week for them and it was great that they 1117 00:58:03,067 --> 00:58:05,547 Speaker 21: both went out there and sort of played their footy 1118 00:58:05,587 --> 00:58:06,227 Speaker 21: that they love to do. 1119 00:58:06,467 --> 00:58:08,107 Speaker 18: You know Roubs getting couple of trip it's pretty cool too. 1120 00:58:08,187 --> 00:58:09,667 Speaker 18: How to feel he went with the pace of the 1121 00:58:09,707 --> 00:58:11,867 Speaker 18: game and everything like that. It was good. 1122 00:58:11,947 --> 00:58:13,387 Speaker 21: I feel like it was a good test for myself 1123 00:58:13,907 --> 00:58:15,587 Speaker 21: getting back to the test level. You know, Japan liked 1124 00:58:15,587 --> 00:58:17,307 Speaker 21: to play very fast and try to get into that 1125 00:58:17,387 --> 00:58:19,467 Speaker 21: chaotic constructured the type of play, So I feel like 1126 00:58:19,507 --> 00:58:21,867 Speaker 21: that was good for I guess set me up in 1127 00:58:21,947 --> 00:58:24,547 Speaker 21: terms of that fast footy leading into I guess the 1128 00:58:24,587 --> 00:58:27,787 Speaker 21: next games, next couple of games. So yeah, from a 1129 00:58:27,787 --> 00:58:29,907 Speaker 21: personal perspective, it was good to be back out there 1130 00:58:29,907 --> 00:58:31,627 Speaker 21: and yeah, definitely felt ready for test Rugui. 1131 00:58:31,427 --> 00:58:31,867 Speaker 6: And it was good. 1132 00:58:32,667 --> 00:58:35,427 Speaker 20: Just obviously mentioned that the debuts as well. How special 1133 00:58:35,467 --> 00:58:38,187 Speaker 20: to see those two have the first all black jusis. 1134 00:58:38,067 --> 00:58:40,307 Speaker 21: Yeah, it was awesome. You know, I live with Reuben, 1135 00:58:40,427 --> 00:58:42,907 Speaker 21: so I sort of know the ends and outs of sort. 1136 00:58:42,747 --> 00:58:43,667 Speaker 18: Of how he goes about his work. 1137 00:58:43,707 --> 00:58:47,507 Speaker 21: He's a very dedicated and motivated person that has worked 1138 00:58:47,507 --> 00:58:49,267 Speaker 21: extremely hard to get to the position that he is 1139 00:58:49,307 --> 00:58:52,427 Speaker 21: in today. So it was no surprise to me that 1140 00:58:52,467 --> 00:58:53,987 Speaker 21: he was going to go out there and perform like 1141 00:58:54,027 --> 00:58:56,747 Speaker 21: he did. Playing out a position on the wing as well, 1142 00:58:56,907 --> 00:59:00,747 Speaker 21: but just the way he sort of just flitted in 1143 00:59:00,827 --> 00:59:02,747 Speaker 21: with the group and was able to sort of be himself, 1144 00:59:02,787 --> 00:59:05,347 Speaker 21: like I said, was really pleasing to watch. And he's 1145 00:59:05,347 --> 00:59:07,547 Speaker 21: someone that's, like I said, so focused and driven, so 1146 00:59:07,667 --> 00:59:09,027 Speaker 21: to see him out there with a smile on his 1147 00:59:09,107 --> 00:59:12,187 Speaker 21: face is pretty cool as well. And Pete obviously a 1148 00:59:12,187 --> 00:59:15,627 Speaker 21: little bit different getting his opportunity through injury Ben Corden, 1149 00:59:15,827 --> 00:59:18,387 Speaker 21: you know, only just last week, so so we're having 1150 00:59:18,427 --> 00:59:20,307 Speaker 21: a little bit quicker for him, but we obviously know 1151 00:59:20,347 --> 00:59:22,947 Speaker 21: how well he goes through playing with him at the Hurricanes, 1152 00:59:22,987 --> 00:59:25,587 Speaker 21: you know, the ability to play seven and eight and 1153 00:59:25,667 --> 00:59:29,227 Speaker 21: slipping as he has be himself and look like he's 1154 00:59:29,227 --> 00:59:31,547 Speaker 21: been playing, you know, forever, so at this level. So 1155 00:59:31,627 --> 00:59:34,427 Speaker 21: it's ready please of both of them and obviously the 1156 00:59:34,467 --> 00:59:35,267 Speaker 21: other Hurricanes boys. 1157 00:59:35,307 --> 00:59:36,547 Speaker 18: It was awesome to be back out. 1158 00:59:36,387 --> 00:59:36,707 Speaker 16: There with him. 1159 00:59:36,747 --> 00:59:36,947 Speaker 11: Yeah. 1160 00:59:36,947 --> 00:59:38,707 Speaker 2: Good to have cam roy Guard back out there as well. 1161 00:59:38,747 --> 00:59:41,147 Speaker 2: So he's given the selectors a bit of thinking to 1162 00:59:41,187 --> 00:59:43,027 Speaker 2: go around that half back spot for next week. I 1163 00:59:43,027 --> 00:59:45,667 Speaker 2: think at the very least he'll be in the twenty three, 1164 00:59:45,787 --> 00:59:48,707 Speaker 2: won't he cam roy Guard what he showed there against England. 1165 00:59:48,747 --> 00:59:50,987 Speaker 2: I guess it just depends on which way they want 1166 00:59:51,027 --> 00:59:54,107 Speaker 2: to go with Cortes, Laptima, t J pett Andata and 1167 00:59:54,867 --> 00:59:57,467 Speaker 2: Cam Roy guard with the half back spots. Elliot Smith 1168 00:59:57,467 --> 00:59:59,507 Speaker 2: has just sent through an interview he's done with Scott 1169 00:59:59,587 --> 01:00:02,507 Speaker 2: Robertson as well at the airport, just as the All 1170 01:00:02,547 --> 01:00:04,547 Speaker 2: Blacks are about to fly out for the UK.

Great moments and in 1175 01:00:15,947 --> 01:00:17,947 Speaker 22: the game, wasn't it And there was there are times 1176 01:00:17,947 --> 01:00:20,987 Speaker 22: we couldn't build pressure in the second half and they 1177 01:00:21,027 --> 01:00:22,867 Speaker 22: came back. He had the ball for long periods of time. 1178 01:00:23,547 --> 01:00:26,547 Speaker 22: Japan a good team there. They were big, they're physical 1179 01:00:26,627 --> 01:00:31,787 Speaker 22: and had their moments and really proud of defense. A 1180 01:00:31,827 --> 01:00:35,267 Speaker 22: lot of the time. We did a lot of covering tackles, 1181 01:00:36,347 --> 01:00:39,267 Speaker 22: strong set piece and really good stuff and don't work 1182 01:00:39,267 --> 01:00:40,067 Speaker 22: on areas as normal. 1183 01:00:40,187 --> 01:00:41,867 Speaker 18: Everyone's come through on scales injury wise. 1184 01:00:42,907 --> 01:00:46,547 Speaker 22: Yeah, we're good. We're clean, Bill, So if one is 1185 01:00:46,547 --> 01:00:48,827 Speaker 22: good that no one's coming and there's no messages on 1186 01:00:48,907 --> 01:00:51,347 Speaker 22: the the what'sapps, that's. 1187 01:00:51,187 --> 01:00:53,987 Speaker 20: Good squad updates.

He'll stay with us just until we make sure. 1201 01:01:32,107 --> 01:01:33,787 Speaker 22: We'll make you a call on the other two loose forwards. 1202 01:01:33,787 --> 01:01:34,827 Speaker 22: Who's the best one to come over? 1203 01:01:36,147 --> 01:01:38,387 Speaker 20: Jordy Barrett has he tracking? Obviously didn't play you still 1204 01:01:38,387 --> 01:01:40,707 Speaker 20: they send him over early? Haven't seen him playing the 1205 01:01:40,787 --> 01:01:41,547 Speaker 20: rugby in a wee while. 1206 01:01:42,107 --> 01:01:44,307 Speaker 22: Look, he's trained well with us training a high level, 1207 01:01:44,747 --> 01:01:48,987 Speaker 22: good intensity, he's kicking the ball well. He he's available 1208 01:01:48,987 --> 01:01:49,547 Speaker 22: for selection. 1209 01:01:50,307 --> 01:01:52,227 Speaker 18: A big boost obviously having him back in the in 1210 01:01:52,227 --> 01:01:52,467 Speaker 18: the mix. 1211 01:01:52,707 --> 01:01:53,947 Speaker 22: It gives your depth to the squad and a lot 1212 01:01:53,947 --> 01:01:55,027 Speaker 22: of experience. 1213 01:01:56,227 --> 01:01:58,467 Speaker 20: Before on England. Obviously send them twice early on in 1214 01:01:58,547 --> 01:02:00,147 Speaker 20: the season. What do you expect from them? They haven't 1215 01:02:00,147 --> 01:02:02,027 Speaker 20: played since obviously, what do you expect from they're talking 1216 01:02:02,027 --> 01:02:02,187 Speaker 20: to them? 1217 01:02:02,187 --> 01:02:03,867 Speaker 22: Oh, look, you know they're obviously still be mech fit. 1218 01:02:04,467 --> 01:02:06,667 Speaker 22: You know their parts are playing in the pimanship, great 1219 01:02:06,707 --> 01:02:12,667 Speaker 22: camp and you know they'll be ready. They've been under 1220 01:02:12,667 --> 01:02:16,387 Speaker 22: Steve for a while now. It seems a long time 1221 01:02:16,387 --> 01:02:18,467 Speaker 22: ago since we've paid them. A lot can have been 1222 01:02:18,467 --> 01:02:22,747 Speaker 22: in between the look, we're playing good footy. They they 1223 01:02:22,787 --> 01:02:24,547 Speaker 22: are paying a little bit more foot than their head before, 1224 01:02:24,547 --> 01:02:25,667 Speaker 22: so it can be exciting week. 1225 01:02:25,827 --> 01:02:27,587 Speaker 20: How do you feel you've grown as a squad since 1226 01:02:27,827 --> 01:02:30,187 Speaker 20: that series way back in the July lot. 1227 01:02:30,227 --> 01:02:33,867 Speaker 22: We've been on tour a few times, We've experienced some 1228 01:02:35,387 --> 01:02:40,907 Speaker 22: different environments. You know, we're a lot more connected and 1229 01:02:40,987 --> 01:02:43,707 Speaker 22: understanding of our game. So yeah, look we're in a 1230 01:02:43,747 --> 01:02:44,147 Speaker 22: good spot. 1231 01:02:44,467 --> 01:02:47,907 Speaker 2: That is Scott Robertson speaking with Elliott Smith a short 1232 01:02:47,907 --> 01:02:49,787 Speaker 2: time ago, just before they all hopped on the plane 1233 01:02:49,827 --> 01:02:53,187 Speaker 2: to get to the UK. So next Sunday morning, four 1234 01:02:53,187 --> 01:02:56,947 Speaker 2: o'clock New Zealand time, all Blacks England at Twickenham. I 1235 01:02:56,947 --> 01:03:00,587 Speaker 2: think we can have a fairly a fairly assured guest 1236 01:03:00,627 --> 01:03:02,347 Speaker 2: at the team, can't we so no ethan to group 1237 01:03:02,387 --> 01:03:04,387 Speaker 2: we heard there, so you think to mighty Williams will 1238 01:03:04,667 --> 01:03:07,187 Speaker 2: wear the one jersey so to be him, Cody Taylor, 1239 01:03:07,227 --> 01:03:10,867 Speaker 2: Tyrell Lomax, Scott Barrett to Porvaii, I'd say Wallace Stiti 1240 01:03:10,947 --> 01:03:13,587 Speaker 2: will probably go back to six, Sam Canes, seven, Arty 1241 01:03:13,627 --> 01:03:16,787 Speaker 2: sav eight. Interesting what they do at halfback, that's probably 1242 01:03:16,787 --> 01:03:18,587 Speaker 2: one of the bigger questions. Boden bar it will be 1243 01:03:18,667 --> 01:03:21,267 Speaker 2: first five. Jeordi Barrett, by the sounds of it, is 1244 01:03:21,307 --> 01:03:24,187 Speaker 2: fit for selection. So he and Ricco You're one in midfield, 1245 01:03:24,467 --> 01:03:26,467 Speaker 2: Caleb Clark on the left, I'd say Mark Talaya on 1246 01:03:26,467 --> 01:03:28,427 Speaker 2: the right, and then Will Jordan at fullback. That feels 1247 01:03:28,427 --> 01:03:31,787 Speaker 2: like the team to me. Maybe they'll mix and match 1248 01:03:31,827 --> 01:03:35,307 Speaker 2: around in the bench positions, but otherwise I think it's 1249 01:03:35,347 --> 01:03:38,907 Speaker 2: a fairly straightforward selection for Scott Robertson and others to 1250 01:03:38,947 --> 01:03:42,227 Speaker 2: make ahead of the England Test. Four o'clock next Sunday morning. 1251 01:03:42,227 --> 01:03:44,307 Speaker 2: We'll have a full life commentary with Elliott and Gregor 1252 01:03:44,307 --> 01:03:46,507 Speaker 2: Paul here on News Talks here b twenty eight to 1253 01:03:46,507 --> 01:03:50,667 Speaker 2: two weekends for it rugby League doubleheader in christ Church 1254 01:03:50,707 --> 01:03:54,427 Speaker 2: today Pacific Championship kee We Ferns Jill ARUs that's at 1255 01:03:54,427 --> 01:03:56,027 Speaker 2: three thirty five and then the key weis play the 1256 01:03:56,107 --> 01:03:58,507 Speaker 2: Kangaroo's at five past six.

Training that 1268 01:04:37,507 --> 01:04:41,347 Speaker 16: week was all, you know, it was pretty light. It 1269 01:04:41,387 --> 01:04:43,987 Speaker 16: was all in the head, so we kind of refreshed. 1270 01:04:45,107 --> 01:04:47,467 Speaker 2: And as far as when the game's been played out 1271 01:04:47,747 --> 01:04:51,267 Speaker 2: and the score starting to mount, I mean you're playing Australia, 1272 01:04:51,307 --> 01:04:54,067 Speaker 2: who have been your toughest adversary for a long time. 1273 01:04:54,307 --> 01:04:55,947 Speaker 2: What's the feeling is the points start to matt and 1274 01:04:55,987 --> 01:04:57,827 Speaker 2: you think, hey, something pretty special is happening here. 1275 01:04:58,387 --> 01:05:01,307 Speaker 16: Yeah, one hundred percent. I wasn't really comfortable to the 1276 01:05:01,347 --> 01:05:05,787 Speaker 16: last probably fifteen minutes because you know, as you have 1277 01:05:05,907 --> 01:05:10,667 Speaker 16: quality through the park, so you just stay in there grind. Luckily, 1278 01:05:10,947 --> 01:05:13,547 Speaker 16: you know, we kept them to nil, and the any 1279 01:05:13,547 --> 01:05:14,787 Speaker 16: thing is we've got to back it up this year 1280 01:05:14,787 --> 01:05:15,067 Speaker 16: as well. 1281 01:05:15,147 --> 01:05:16,907 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I guess with have been so long ago, 1282 01:05:17,147 --> 01:05:19,387 Speaker 2: is there any way you can take momentum from that 1283 01:05:19,467 --> 01:05:22,147 Speaker 2: game into twenty twenty four or are we really just 1284 01:05:22,187 --> 01:05:23,627 Speaker 2: talking about a clean slate here? 1285 01:05:24,787 --> 01:05:27,147 Speaker 16: Yeah, it's pretty hard fast Qui Boys because we didn't 1286 01:05:27,147 --> 01:05:30,707 Speaker 16: really get the opportunity to play Reverybody as much they 1287 01:05:30,707 --> 01:05:34,307 Speaker 16: get Origins and and stuff like that, so it's pretty 1288 01:05:34,307 --> 01:05:37,427 Speaker 16: hard to build commos for us. But with injury as 1289 01:05:37,427 --> 01:05:38,867 Speaker 16: well this year, it's been it's going to be a 1290 01:05:38,907 --> 01:05:41,267 Speaker 16: pretty tough slog. But yeah, it's pretty clean. I think 1291 01:05:41,547 --> 01:05:42,907 Speaker 16: it's going to be a lot of changes to the 1292 01:05:42,907 --> 01:05:45,427 Speaker 16: squad and yeah, we've just got to stuff from the 1293 01:05:45,467 --> 01:05:46,467 Speaker 16: beginning and it's tough of that. 1294 01:05:46,747 --> 01:05:48,427 Speaker 2: Do you find when you get together with the Kiwi 1295 01:05:48,427 --> 01:05:51,747 Speaker 2: Boys that those connections and the cohesion is pretty quickly 1296 01:05:51,787 --> 01:05:53,547 Speaker 2: found again though, yeah. 1297 01:05:53,387 --> 01:05:56,027 Speaker 16: One hundred percent. You know, we've got the same kind 1298 01:05:56,067 --> 01:05:58,707 Speaker 16: of humor, so so we kind of we bond really quickly. 1299 01:05:59,227 --> 01:06:01,987 Speaker 16: But you know, when you go back to nrour level, 1300 01:06:02,027 --> 01:06:04,307 Speaker 16: everyone's at the same plays, just different names, so it's 1301 01:06:04,307 --> 01:06:08,067 Speaker 16: pretty pretty easy to kind of it together. But you know, 1302 01:06:08,187 --> 01:06:10,507 Speaker 16: enjoying your time in camp is a huge part of 1303 01:06:10,507 --> 01:06:12,067 Speaker 16: of being in these camps as well. 1304 01:06:12,387 --> 01:06:15,387 Speaker 2: How much of a leadership responsibility do you feel in 1305 01:06:15,427 --> 01:06:16,507 Speaker 2: this key we side. 1306 01:06:17,427 --> 01:06:19,987 Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, I'm lucky to be a part of the 1307 01:06:20,027 --> 01:06:25,027 Speaker 16: leadership group, And like Fisher, I don't talk as much, 1308 01:06:25,027 --> 01:06:27,747 Speaker 16: but I like leading the action, so you know, I 1309 01:06:27,867 --> 01:06:30,547 Speaker 16: take the responsibility and I try to do that every performance. 1310 01:06:30,787 --> 01:06:32,787 Speaker 2: I say, it was announced to the at the Raiders 1311 01:06:32,827 --> 01:06:35,587 Speaker 2: Prize giving you're going to be full time skipper next year. 1312 01:06:35,827 --> 01:06:37,547 Speaker 2: You're filled on a couple of times or more than 1313 01:06:37,547 --> 01:06:39,667 Speaker 2: a couple of times already. Do you feel like you're 1314 01:06:39,667 --> 01:06:41,867 Speaker 2: going to have to use use a few more words 1315 01:06:41,907 --> 01:06:44,347 Speaker 2: next year or it'll still be mainly your actions? 1316 01:06:44,387 --> 01:06:47,947 Speaker 16: You lead by no, I think both. You know, my 1317 01:06:47,987 --> 01:06:51,667 Speaker 16: actions speak louder than words, but you know I still 1318 01:06:51,707 --> 01:06:56,827 Speaker 16: have a saying Yeah. Obviously I was learning through off 1319 01:06:56,867 --> 01:06:59,307 Speaker 16: the back of Elliot and you know, talking to four 1320 01:06:59,347 --> 01:07:01,667 Speaker 16: Games and stuff like that, so I just got to 1321 01:07:01,787 --> 01:07:04,347 Speaker 16: keep building on that. But I'm really excited. It's been 1322 01:07:04,387 --> 01:07:07,667 Speaker 16: a huge goal of mine and you know it's I 1323 01:07:07,667 --> 01:07:09,867 Speaker 16: hope to take my game to another little Well. 1324 01:07:09,747 --> 01:07:12,067 Speaker 2: It's been at a really good level this year. You 1325 01:07:12,107 --> 01:07:15,307 Speaker 2: played every game, delim Team of the Year, Raiders Player 1326 01:07:15,347 --> 01:07:18,747 Speaker 2: of the Year again, third straight season, two hundred NURL appearances. 1327 01:07:18,787 --> 01:07:20,227 Speaker 2: You brought up, how do you reflect on the last 1328 01:07:20,227 --> 01:07:21,067 Speaker 2: six months? 1329 01:07:21,707 --> 01:07:26,507 Speaker 16: Yeah, it's been huge, I think huge respective when I 1330 01:07:26,547 --> 01:07:30,027 Speaker 16: had my daughter. She's her, My wife is such a 1331 01:07:30,067 --> 01:07:32,987 Speaker 16: huge drive for me, and you know she's coming on 1332 01:07:34,027 --> 01:07:39,467 Speaker 16: two next year, so you know that's reasons to play 1333 01:07:39,467 --> 01:07:41,707 Speaker 16: harder and you know, be a bit of player, bit 1334 01:07:41,747 --> 01:07:42,267 Speaker 16: of provider. 1335 01:07:42,627 --> 01:07:44,107 Speaker 2: Do you find it gives you a balance as well, 1336 01:07:44,107 --> 01:07:46,187 Speaker 2: because I'm sure she doesn't care about the result. 1337 01:07:46,947 --> 01:07:49,827 Speaker 16: Nah, that's that's a huge balance. After a loss, I 1338 01:07:49,827 --> 01:07:52,147 Speaker 16: look for her in the crowd and it brings back 1339 01:07:52,187 --> 01:07:54,547 Speaker 16: perspective and you know it's only a game of footy 1340 01:07:54,627 --> 01:07:56,947 Speaker 16: and you know there's bigger things in my life. 1341 01:07:57,147 --> 01:07:59,387 Speaker 2: You guys came home pretty pretty strong, three straight wins 1342 01:07:59,427 --> 01:08:01,627 Speaker 2: to end the season, but but missing the eight on 1343 01:08:01,707 --> 01:08:04,227 Speaker 2: points differential. How gutting was that for you guys? 1344 01:08:04,587 --> 01:08:07,827 Speaker 16: Yeah, it's uh, it's pretty you know, heartbreaking knowing that, 1345 01:08:07,947 --> 01:08:11,627 Speaker 16: you know, especially their quality sides, that our team have 1346 01:08:11,747 --> 01:08:15,267 Speaker 16: the ability to win, but probably not the consistency this year, 1347 01:08:15,307 --> 01:08:18,347 Speaker 16: and there'll be a big focus point next year in 1348 01:08:18,627 --> 01:08:23,507 Speaker 16: our consistent performances and you know, trying to minimize those blowouts. 1349 01:08:24,027 --> 01:08:27,307 Speaker 2: And just back to the Kiwis again, lots of chat 1350 01:08:27,347 --> 01:08:30,587 Speaker 2: about how international rugby league can become a bit more 1351 01:08:30,587 --> 01:08:33,507 Speaker 2: relevant and amongst a packed in URL season state of origin. 1352 01:08:33,547 --> 01:08:36,027 Speaker 2: As you mentioned before, I heard Chance nicol Klok start 1353 01:08:36,067 --> 01:08:38,307 Speaker 2: earlier this week say you know that he'd like the 1354 01:08:38,387 --> 01:08:40,347 Speaker 2: key we used to be together more. Do you share 1355 01:08:40,387 --> 01:08:42,187 Speaker 2: those sentiments? Would you like to see you know, more 1356 01:08:42,187 --> 01:08:44,347 Speaker 2: opportunities for test rugby league. 1357 01:08:44,587 --> 01:08:47,187 Speaker 16: Yeah, one hundred percent. I think that's because that's out 1358 01:08:47,227 --> 01:08:49,667 Speaker 16: in the core of our game and to get those 1359 01:08:49,667 --> 01:08:52,827 Speaker 16: opportunities to play and be amongst our boys, like I 1360 01:08:52,867 --> 01:08:54,427 Speaker 16: think it used to be like the anti Tests, and 1361 01:08:54,507 --> 01:08:57,107 Speaker 16: that is huge for us. You know, we have to 1362 01:08:57,147 --> 01:09:00,507 Speaker 16: sit back and watch in origins and it's a huge 1363 01:09:00,507 --> 01:09:03,387 Speaker 16: part of NRL's origin. It's probably the biggest part. But 1364 01:09:04,027 --> 01:09:07,027 Speaker 16: you know, we just want to equal opportunity to represent 1365 01:09:07,147 --> 01:09:10,307 Speaker 16: our country and get those high quality games. 1366 01:09:10,467 --> 01:09:12,307 Speaker 2: But the way it does now, I mean, you play 1367 01:09:12,347 --> 01:09:15,787 Speaker 2: every game right and in a physically demanding sport and 1368 01:09:15,827 --> 01:09:19,787 Speaker 2: in a physically demanding position within that sport, that must 1369 01:09:19,787 --> 01:09:21,427 Speaker 2: take a huge toll on your body, does it? 1370 01:09:22,587 --> 01:09:22,787 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1371 01:09:22,827 --> 01:09:23,187 Speaker 6: It does? 1372 01:09:23,307 --> 01:09:26,947 Speaker 16: But you know, I think these days everyone is so professional. 1373 01:09:28,907 --> 01:09:33,947 Speaker 16: But yeah, we get a good break after. But you know, 1374 01:09:33,987 --> 01:09:36,227 Speaker 16: when Keywis come up, I'm always excited to get in camp. 1375 01:09:36,307 --> 01:09:38,507 Speaker 16: So it doesn't really matter. My body might have a 1376 01:09:38,507 --> 01:09:42,347 Speaker 16: little bumps and bruises in it, but yeah, people like 1377 01:09:42,547 --> 01:09:45,227 Speaker 16: you know, people like Penriffin have been in the Grand 1378 01:09:45,227 --> 01:09:49,187 Speaker 16: finals last four or five years. Their bodies must. 1379 01:09:48,827 --> 01:09:50,667 Speaker 14: Be worth Yeah. 1380 01:09:50,707 --> 01:09:52,547 Speaker 2: All right mate, Well we're looking forward to seeing you 1381 01:09:52,547 --> 01:09:55,067 Speaker 2: with the Kiwis for the upcoming Pacific Championship.

James, I had a 1398 01:10:41,667 --> 01:10:44,267 Speaker 2: dream last night that Mitchell Santona got thirteen wickets and 1399 01:10:44,267 --> 01:10:46,547 Speaker 2: then you turned up on the radio to talk about it. 1400 01:10:47,267 --> 01:10:49,347 Speaker 6: I know, you know it's all come true, Poney. You 1401 01:10:50,387 --> 01:10:52,267 Speaker 6: your biggest dreams have come true. 1402 01:10:53,347 --> 01:10:54,227 Speaker 2: What about that? 1403 01:10:55,187 --> 01:10:57,627 Speaker 6: Well, I know that's the whole thing is. It's not 1404 01:10:57,667 --> 01:11:00,227 Speaker 6: just a dream. It should be a movie, because talk 1405 01:11:00,267 --> 01:11:03,187 Speaker 6: about a ragtag team of misfits, you know, a new 1406 01:11:03,267 --> 01:11:07,147 Speaker 6: captain probably not that many superstars, I mean, ratching might 1407 01:11:07,227 --> 01:11:09,907 Speaker 6: end up being an all time great. Tim Sauvie, you know, 1408 01:11:10,027 --> 01:11:11,787 Speaker 6: getting a bit long in the tooth and that's not 1409 01:11:11,827 --> 01:11:14,667 Speaker 6: even a to teeth joke for him, but just the 1410 01:11:14,787 --> 01:11:18,907 Speaker 6: team that just bonded together and with Mitchell Satner, I 1411 01:11:18,907 --> 01:11:21,307 Speaker 6: think they call it in the flow state, or feeling 1412 01:11:21,387 --> 01:11:25,187 Speaker 6: himself in the modern parlance, piny. Yeah, there's an all 1413 01:11:25,187 --> 01:11:28,587 Speaker 6: time performance. He's had his Doug Bracewl and Hobart test 1414 01:11:28,747 --> 01:11:29,107 Speaker 6: right there. 1415 01:11:29,427 --> 01:11:31,227 Speaker 2: Don't you think it's great though, that he that he 1416 01:11:31,507 --> 01:11:35,587 Speaker 2: is so understated in his celebrations. I mentioned before I 1417 01:11:35,627 --> 01:11:37,227 Speaker 2: saw a great one on social that when he got 1418 01:11:37,267 --> 01:11:39,827 Speaker 2: virak Coli out, he celebrated like a guy. Just remember 1419 01:11:39,867 --> 01:11:40,867 Speaker 2: where his khakis were. 1420 01:11:41,867 --> 01:11:44,147 Speaker 6: Yeah, well he looks like the villain out of Despicable Me. 1421 01:11:44,347 --> 01:11:47,907 Speaker 6: Is it grew or grew anyway? He's a little bit hunchbacked. 1422 01:11:47,987 --> 01:11:51,827 Speaker 6: He sort of he wanders around and just doesn't seem 1423 01:11:51,867 --> 01:11:53,827 Speaker 6: to raise a sweat. But I think when he got 1424 01:11:53,827 --> 01:11:56,347 Speaker 6: that run out, you could just see how well he 1425 01:11:56,507 --> 01:12:00,627 Speaker 6: was playing the game, and the loop and dip that 1426 01:12:00,707 --> 01:12:02,947 Speaker 6: he provided was perfect for that pitch, and I think 1427 01:12:02,947 --> 01:12:06,667 Speaker 6: that was the perfect setting for Satna. Sometimes you probably 1428 01:12:06,747 --> 01:12:08,907 Speaker 6: think when he's picked in those home tests that we 1429 01:12:08,907 --> 01:12:10,787 Speaker 6: should have a spin of that turns the ball more. 1430 01:12:10,827 --> 01:12:14,987 Speaker 6: But honestly, over there he is perfect for those conditions. 1431 01:12:15,027 --> 01:12:19,667 Speaker 6: Great fielder and with that variation, but this is the 1432 01:12:19,667 --> 01:12:23,067 Speaker 6: whole thing he's third on the all time list now paddles. 1433 01:12:23,187 --> 01:12:25,347 Speaker 6: The great Sir Richard Hadley is number one with that 1434 01:12:25,627 --> 01:12:29,627 Speaker 6: those fifteen wickets in Brisbane. Of course, Ajas Patal is 1435 01:12:29,707 --> 01:12:32,307 Speaker 6: number two with fourteen wickets and ten in one innings. 1436 01:12:32,307 --> 01:12:34,547 Speaker 6: Of course there was a Test that black Caps lost, 1437 01:12:34,987 --> 01:12:39,747 Speaker 6: but to get those standing wickets in a historic series 1438 01:12:39,827 --> 01:12:43,587 Speaker 6: win in India, it's it's right up there with one 1439 01:12:43,587 --> 01:12:47,147 Speaker 6: of the greatest individual performances in any code for New Zealand. 1440 01:12:47,267 --> 01:12:50,347 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally agree, totally agree. It says, Yeah, it's a 1441 01:12:50,347 --> 01:12:52,867 Speaker 2: good analogy with Doug Bracewell and Hobart because he'll ay 1442 01:12:52,987 --> 01:12:55,227 Speaker 2: always be remembered for that. Hopefully there's more to come 1443 01:12:55,227 --> 01:12:58,347 Speaker 2: from Mitchell Santna, but yeah, he'll always have He'll always 1444 01:12:58,387 --> 01:12:59,147 Speaker 2: have poone. 1445 01:13:00,027 --> 01:13:02,187 Speaker 6: He will always have poone. And you know what, like 1446 01:13:02,707 --> 01:13:06,627 Speaker 6: the way that I think the black Caps really sort 1447 01:13:06,667 --> 01:13:10,827 Speaker 6: of fit together well as a team. It just feels 1448 01:13:10,867 --> 01:13:13,987 Speaker 6: like a team, you know, doesn't seem to be many egos. 1449 01:13:14,027 --> 01:13:17,547 Speaker 6: It's just a really nice team to watch. And for 1450 01:13:18,067 --> 01:13:20,067 Speaker 6: Tom Latham, he's going to take a bow as well. 1451 01:13:20,147 --> 01:13:22,667 Speaker 6: It's an incredible series as captain. 1452 01:13:22,787 --> 01:13:26,307 Speaker 2: Absolutely right. Okay, let's go to the All Blacks. We're 1453 01:13:26,387 --> 01:13:28,547 Speaker 2: up a sort of There's quite a bit going on 1454 01:13:28,307 --> 01:13:31,307 Speaker 2: on screen on screen yesterday, so I sort of flipping 1455 01:13:31,307 --> 01:13:34,067 Speaker 2: between All Blacks, Black Caps and a little bit of 1456 01:13:34,067 --> 01:13:36,307 Speaker 2: Wellington Phoenix and other a league and that sort of 1457 01:13:36,307 --> 01:13:38,867 Speaker 2: thing as well. Did you take much away from the 1458 01:13:40,427 --> 01:13:42,547 Speaker 2: rather lopsided scoreline against. 1459 01:13:42,347 --> 01:13:46,107 Speaker 6: Japan, Well, piney, We haven't pretty prepared this. We just 1460 01:13:46,547 --> 01:13:48,547 Speaker 6: talked to each other on Sunday. I mean, I take 1461 01:13:48,587 --> 01:13:50,187 Speaker 6: some notes. But one thing I'd like you to do 1462 01:13:50,267 --> 01:13:52,307 Speaker 6: is think of who you think the most impressive All 1463 01:13:52,347 --> 01:13:56,547 Speaker 6: Black the season has been first name, last name, and 1464 01:13:56,627 --> 01:13:59,307 Speaker 6: on the count of three, will both say his name? Okay, okay, 1465 01:13:59,467 --> 01:14:01,987 Speaker 6: yep one two three? 1466 01:14:02,187 --> 01:14:04,627 Speaker 2: Wall was a tt correct. 1467 01:14:05,427 --> 01:14:07,947 Speaker 6: Yeah it is, isn't it? 1468 01:14:08,307 --> 01:14:08,667 Speaker 11: Season? 1469 01:14:10,027 --> 01:14:13,787 Speaker 6: And the way he's the way he's played against every opposition. 1470 01:14:13,827 --> 01:14:17,827 Speaker 6: And also Stephen Donald the Beaver providing some awesome analysis 1471 01:14:17,867 --> 01:14:21,827 Speaker 6: on sky Sport last night, saying it's his late footwork 1472 01:14:21,867 --> 01:14:24,667 Speaker 6: that no teams can counter him because the Japanese like 1473 01:14:24,707 --> 01:14:27,827 Speaker 6: to tackle quite low and Lunjon low. He's just making 1474 01:14:27,867 --> 01:14:30,267 Speaker 6: mincemeat of them when he wants to. And so it 1475 01:14:30,427 --> 01:14:33,227 Speaker 6: was quite an interesting insight into his special set of 1476 01:14:33,467 --> 01:14:38,067 Speaker 6: skills like Liam nesson Paiken and where he just and 1477 01:14:38,107 --> 01:14:40,267 Speaker 6: maybe like Liam mess him as well from the Chiefs. 1478 01:14:40,267 --> 01:14:45,147 Speaker 6: He's got all those skills, vitality. I thought he was sectional. 1479 01:14:45,227 --> 01:14:47,907 Speaker 6: And then it's still other aspects I'd like to talk about. 1480 01:14:48,227 --> 01:14:51,827 Speaker 6: Can Roygard and the type five who would you like 1481 01:14:51,907 --> 01:14:55,027 Speaker 6: to talk about. 1482 01:14:52,427 --> 01:14:57,107 Speaker 2: By both of those. But also before we get that, 1483 01:14:57,187 --> 01:14:58,547 Speaker 2: can I go back to you with one of the 1484 01:14:58,587 --> 01:15:00,987 Speaker 2: games we just played there or the game we just 1485 01:15:01,027 --> 01:15:03,107 Speaker 2: played when we say the same thing at the same time. 1486 01:15:03,187 --> 01:15:05,387 Speaker 2: So on my counter of three, can you say the 1487 01:15:05,467 --> 01:15:08,907 Speaker 2: surnames of who you think will play six seven and 1488 01:15:09,107 --> 01:15:12,187 Speaker 2: eight against England next week? Are you ready? We've got 1489 01:15:12,267 --> 01:15:12,627 Speaker 2: in your head? 1490 01:15:13,307 --> 01:15:16,827 Speaker 6: Wait, who are you? Okay? I can six seven eight 1491 01:15:16,907 --> 01:15:17,387 Speaker 6: in that order? 1492 01:15:17,467 --> 01:15:19,987 Speaker 2: Yees six seven eight in that order? Surnames only, okay, 1493 01:15:20,107 --> 01:15:22,227 Speaker 2: six seven eight on the on the count of three, 1494 01:15:22,707 --> 01:15:28,147 Speaker 2: one two three, so t T Caine Savia and there 1495 01:15:28,147 --> 01:15:30,587 Speaker 2: you go. Okay, So we match up on that as well. 1496 01:15:30,707 --> 01:15:32,067 Speaker 2: This game I think is going to give bit old. 1497 01:15:32,107 --> 01:15:34,227 Speaker 2: Now can we talk about Cam roy garda. 1498 01:15:34,987 --> 01:15:37,867 Speaker 6: Pam roy Guard just announcing that he's back on the 1499 01:15:37,907 --> 01:15:40,347 Speaker 6: scene also with the County Steelers, and you go, okay, 1500 01:15:40,707 --> 01:15:42,427 Speaker 6: that's just the NPC. But I'll tell you what, there's 1501 01:15:42,427 --> 01:15:45,507 Speaker 6: still tough defenses to crack. But he looks at such 1502 01:15:45,507 --> 01:15:48,227 Speaker 6: imperious form, even after he bombed that try that he 1503 01:15:48,307 --> 01:15:51,387 Speaker 6: talked about previously. I just think he's gone away not 1504 01:15:51,427 --> 01:15:53,987 Speaker 6: only worked at his game, he's worked at his interview game. 1505 01:15:54,067 --> 01:15:58,427 Speaker 6: How good was he that interview as well, just earlier 1506 01:15:58,467 --> 01:16:01,627 Speaker 6: in the hour. Come on, that's a new boy garde. 1507 01:16:01,787 --> 01:16:04,747 Speaker 2: It not is, because I remember I remember him up 1508 01:16:04,747 --> 01:16:06,827 Speaker 2: for media when he first made the hurricane, and you're 1509 01:16:06,867 --> 01:16:09,507 Speaker 2: so right, he was kind of one of I mean, 1510 01:16:09,547 --> 01:16:12,787 Speaker 2: he wasn't, you know, completely reticent with his answers, but 1511 01:16:12,827 --> 01:16:16,067 Speaker 2: they certainly weren't forty five seconds full of good analysis 1512 01:16:16,107 --> 01:16:18,707 Speaker 2: and common sense like the ones we just heard. 1513 01:16:19,507 --> 01:16:23,747 Speaker 6: Yeah, so he's come back, you know, stronger, faster, more articulate. 1514 01:16:24,427 --> 01:16:26,467 Speaker 6: He looks like he's on the verge of something special. 1515 01:16:26,587 --> 01:16:29,987 Speaker 6: So even though Cortez and Artima has got the inside running, 1516 01:16:30,267 --> 01:16:32,587 Speaker 6: I just wonder whether Royguard is going to stamp his 1517 01:16:32,707 --> 01:16:34,827 Speaker 6: mark on this tour. And look, I'm happy for the 1518 01:16:34,867 --> 01:16:38,107 Speaker 6: Northern Hemisphere to talk about Antoine du Pomp being the 1519 01:16:38,147 --> 01:16:40,587 Speaker 6: greatest way we plan in the world, but maybe, just 1520 01:16:40,707 --> 01:16:43,387 Speaker 6: maybe in Paris in a few weeks time he'll get 1521 01:16:43,427 --> 01:16:48,027 Speaker 6: dethroned by cam Royguard, whose surname does mean King's Guard, 1522 01:16:48,067 --> 01:16:53,027 Speaker 6: doesn't it? And in frink anyway, let's go there. I 1523 01:16:53,027 --> 01:16:56,947 Speaker 6: didn't stick the landing like cam Royguard, but he is. 1524 01:16:57,427 --> 01:17:00,227 Speaker 6: He looks like he's just ready to do something special, 1525 01:17:00,347 --> 01:17:04,387 Speaker 6: even after breaking or equaling Bowden's Bronco record. 1526 01:17:05,187 --> 01:17:07,907 Speaker 2: Now were you happy to hear Wellie who Ha sung 1527 01:17:08,187 --> 01:17:11,787 Speaker 2: again after the MPC final yesterday after an extra twenty 1528 01:17:11,827 --> 01:17:12,347 Speaker 2: minutes of it. 1529 01:17:13,387 --> 01:17:15,787 Speaker 6: Yeah, it was. It was an epic final. I felt 1530 01:17:15,787 --> 01:17:18,067 Speaker 6: for the bay. I mean, I'm chiefsmun all day. I 1531 01:17:18,147 --> 01:17:22,627 Speaker 6: really wanted to make plenty to make history there. But 1532 01:17:23,147 --> 01:17:26,547 Speaker 6: they both deserve a trophy, don't they. But it can 1533 01:17:26,627 --> 01:17:30,827 Speaker 6: only be one. Wellington have been front running all season 1534 01:17:30,867 --> 01:17:34,627 Speaker 6: and they're just an exceptional provincial side. I loved them 1535 01:17:34,827 --> 01:17:38,427 Speaker 6: the fact that Jackson Garden Bashi got to win after 1536 01:17:39,587 --> 01:17:43,067 Speaker 6: the tragedy of his brother Connor passing away this earlier 1537 01:17:43,067 --> 01:17:45,787 Speaker 6: this year. There was a lot of storylines. I think, 1538 01:17:45,867 --> 01:17:49,707 Speaker 6: you know, duper sf he just trying to that all 1539 01:17:49,747 --> 01:17:54,507 Speaker 6: way for recognition really, and then Riley Higgins an emerging talent. 1540 01:17:55,227 --> 01:17:59,667 Speaker 6: What will happen when Riley Higgins when he gets into 1541 01:17:59,707 --> 01:18:01,827 Speaker 6: the All Blacks, which feels like it's going to happen 1542 01:18:01,947 --> 01:18:05,187 Speaker 6: very soon. And then Jordi Barrett comes back from Ireland 1543 01:18:05,187 --> 01:18:08,347 Speaker 6: and they're both Hurricanes trying to battle over one jersey. 1544 01:18:08,387 --> 01:18:10,707 Speaker 6: That's going to be interesting to watch. But yeah, I 1545 01:18:10,747 --> 01:18:13,147 Speaker 6: was okay with it. Piney. You're welly all day, aren't you? 1546 01:18:13,187 --> 01:18:13,347 Speaker 16: Yeah? 1547 01:18:13,347 --> 01:18:16,147 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Look I've it's my ring tone now, wellie, hohoha 1548 01:18:16,707 --> 01:18:20,267 Speaker 2: is my ring tone? So you know not that I 1549 01:18:20,627 --> 01:18:22,227 Speaker 2: not that I get a heck of a lot of 1550 01:18:22,227 --> 01:18:25,027 Speaker 2: phone calls if I'm honest, But no, it's sitting there 1551 01:18:25,027 --> 01:18:27,067 Speaker 2: and just on, just on Riley Higgins. Yeah, Riley Higgins, 1552 01:18:27,107 --> 01:18:28,747 Speaker 2: Billy Proctor Higg. Is that going to be in the 1553 01:18:28,787 --> 01:18:32,987 Speaker 2: absence of Jordy Barrett for the Hurricanes next Super Rugby season? Hey, 1554 01:18:33,027 --> 01:18:36,827 Speaker 2: just before you go, Chris Wood more goals for Nottingham 1555 01:18:36,867 --> 01:18:41,227 Speaker 2: Forest yesterday. Only Earling Harland has more Premier League goals 1556 01:18:41,347 --> 01:18:44,027 Speaker 2: so far this season than Chris Wood. It opens up 1557 01:18:44,027 --> 01:18:46,587 Speaker 2: the inevitable conversation about where he sits among our all 1558 01:18:46,627 --> 01:18:48,787 Speaker 2: time football and greats. I don't necessarily want to have 1559 01:18:48,827 --> 01:18:51,467 Speaker 2: that conversation today, but how good's he going? 1560 01:18:53,227 --> 01:18:56,107 Speaker 6: He's unbelievable Chris Wood, and I think there's a lot 1561 01:18:56,107 --> 01:18:59,467 Speaker 6: of big clubs ruing the fact that they never assigned 1562 01:18:59,467 --> 01:19:01,707 Speaker 6: them because he was on the market there for a 1563 01:19:01,747 --> 01:19:05,707 Speaker 6: while for a pretty decent rate, and you know he's 1564 01:19:05,707 --> 01:19:09,067 Speaker 6: been fighting a those battler clubs, you know, whether it's 1565 01:19:09,067 --> 01:19:13,307 Speaker 6: Burnley and this time Forest, But then I think I 1566 01:19:13,347 --> 01:19:16,627 Speaker 6: had times at Lester as well, and there's another clubs 1567 01:19:16,707 --> 01:19:19,987 Speaker 6: if for a while as well. But look the fact 1568 01:19:20,027 --> 01:19:22,427 Speaker 6: that Nottingham Forest picked him up and he keeps on 1569 01:19:22,507 --> 01:19:24,987 Speaker 6: banging in goals even though you and I Piney have 1570 01:19:25,027 --> 01:19:27,667 Speaker 6: been part of the Chris Wood fan club for a while. 1571 01:19:27,707 --> 01:19:30,187 Speaker 6: I feel like the British are finally starting to take 1572 01:19:30,267 --> 01:19:32,987 Speaker 6: notice and talking them up. And I think there's two 1573 01:19:32,987 --> 01:19:36,107 Speaker 6: factors to that. One is Harry Kane's left and he's 1574 01:19:36,107 --> 01:19:38,307 Speaker 6: gone to play for Bayern Munich. So they're looking to 1575 01:19:38,347 --> 01:19:41,187 Speaker 6: talk about strikers and goalscorers and they've got no option 1576 01:19:41,347 --> 01:19:45,347 Speaker 6: except to talk about Chris Wood and Healing Harland together, 1577 01:19:45,427 --> 01:19:48,427 Speaker 6: which I love so And also he is propping up 1578 01:19:48,467 --> 01:19:51,187 Speaker 6: a club that everyone was picking for relegation and we 1579 01:19:51,267 --> 01:19:53,147 Speaker 6: did talk about this a few weeks ago, Parney. He 1580 01:19:53,267 --> 01:19:56,427 Speaker 6: is that good Chris Wood, that he is changing everything 1581 01:19:56,467 --> 01:19:58,587 Speaker 6: for them. The fact they let a couple of stars 1582 01:19:58,627 --> 01:20:01,107 Speaker 6: go over the summer I think helps him. He's not 1583 01:20:01,347 --> 01:20:03,067 Speaker 6: just had got his back to the goal or in 1584 01:20:03,107 --> 01:20:06,027 Speaker 6: the six yard box. Who seems to share those duties 1585 01:20:06,027 --> 01:20:09,107 Speaker 6: now And he scored one goal from outside the area 1586 01:20:09,187 --> 01:20:12,107 Speaker 6: which blew everyone's mind. But this is the one thing 1587 01:20:12,187 --> 01:20:15,827 Speaker 6: is that all those big clubs that didn't want him, 1588 01:20:16,707 --> 01:20:20,187 Speaker 6: Manchester United whoever, they are behind Nottingham Forest right now 1589 01:20:20,227 --> 01:20:22,147 Speaker 6: and it's all because of Chris Wood indeed. 1590 01:20:22,267 --> 01:20:24,027 Speaker 2: And there's sixth and that's the thing as well with 1591 01:20:24,107 --> 01:20:25,827 Speaker 2: the team like Nottingham Forest, who at the start of 1592 01:20:25,867 --> 01:20:27,947 Speaker 2: the season people are okay, well they might be a 1593 01:20:28,027 --> 01:20:31,547 Speaker 2: relegation contender if you start well. They've got well, they've 1594 01:20:31,547 --> 01:20:34,547 Speaker 2: got sixteen points from their first nine games. It's just 1595 01:20:34,587 --> 01:20:36,467 Speaker 2: such a good launching pad. It means that you can 1596 01:20:36,507 --> 01:20:38,267 Speaker 2: go through a bit of a trough, you know, in 1597 01:20:38,307 --> 01:20:40,627 Speaker 2: the sort of mid season around December, January, whatever it is, 1598 01:20:40,667 --> 01:20:42,027 Speaker 2: and not get a couple of wins, but you've got 1599 01:20:42,027 --> 01:20:44,507 Speaker 2: the base which is usually enough to stay up. You 1600 01:20:44,547 --> 01:20:47,947 Speaker 2: compare it to the likes of Southampton Wolves and Crystal Palace, 1601 01:20:47,947 --> 01:20:50,307 Speaker 2: who are really battling down the bottom. I think you 1602 01:20:50,347 --> 01:20:52,947 Speaker 2: know what Camp, what Chris Wood's doing for Forest right 1603 01:20:52,987 --> 01:20:54,267 Speaker 2: now will probably keep them up. 1604 01:20:55,187 --> 01:20:58,027 Speaker 6: Well, I know it's exactly right. So this is the 1605 01:20:58,067 --> 01:21:02,187 Speaker 6: thing old fashioned strikers. Even the phrase is the meaning 1606 01:21:02,187 --> 01:21:04,867 Speaker 6: for someone who's that good at their job, they should 1607 01:21:04,907 --> 01:21:07,747 Speaker 6: have really thought about what their team needs. And even 1608 01:21:07,747 --> 01:21:11,147 Speaker 6: Pep Guardiola went for an old fashion striker in Earling Harland. 1609 01:21:11,187 --> 01:21:14,147 Speaker 6: So I know he was mentioned a little bit in 1610 01:21:14,187 --> 01:21:16,347 Speaker 6: dispatches with some bigger clubs. I'm glad he's gone the 1611 01:21:16,387 --> 01:21:18,547 Speaker 6: Forest because he's going to be a legionnaire for a 1612 01:21:18,547 --> 01:21:20,667 Speaker 6: long time. And yes he might not be as good 1613 01:21:20,707 --> 01:21:23,347 Speaker 6: as Winton Rupil, probably he only he's in a football 1614 01:21:23,867 --> 01:21:26,707 Speaker 6: footballer he can say it is better. But how about this, 1615 01:21:26,827 --> 01:21:30,227 Speaker 6: he's also maybe the best footballer out of the White 1616 01:21:30,267 --> 01:21:31,787 Speaker 6: cut all since Don Clark. 1617 01:21:32,547 --> 01:21:34,867 Speaker 2: I love it.

And so I think I've 1795 01:31:01,427 --> 01:31:05,947 Speaker 7: always been a fairly organized person. Some would say it's OCD, 1796 01:31:07,307 --> 01:31:10,707 Speaker 7: but you know, and I just made sure, like I've 1797 01:31:10,867 --> 01:31:12,747 Speaker 7: always been a bit of a planner as well, Like I, 1798 01:31:13,587 --> 01:31:16,187 Speaker 7: you know, religiously get you know, one year plans and 1799 01:31:16,267 --> 01:31:18,427 Speaker 7: look at them and be like, right, this tournament's here, 1800 01:31:18,587 --> 01:31:20,987 Speaker 7: I'm going to that, I'm going to that sometimes it 1801 01:31:21,107 --> 01:31:23,827 Speaker 7: was difficult, right because we never got calendars very early 1802 01:31:23,867 --> 01:31:25,827 Speaker 7: and we never knew what games were coming up and 1803 01:31:25,947 --> 01:31:28,067 Speaker 7: things like that. But you know, so at the moment 1804 01:31:28,107 --> 01:31:29,787 Speaker 7: I knew, I'd chuck it up there and be like, right, 1805 01:31:29,867 --> 01:31:30,747 Speaker 7: this is what I'm aiming for. 1806 01:31:31,027 --> 01:31:33,027 Speaker 8: So, I know, I think it was always gold driven. 1807 01:31:33,067 --> 01:31:34,867 Speaker 7: I always had to have some sort of purpose that 1808 01:31:34,947 --> 01:31:39,067 Speaker 7: I that I wanted to work towards in so obviously 1809 01:31:39,187 --> 01:31:41,987 Speaker 7: that came with, you know, a lot of achievements, but 1810 01:31:42,147 --> 01:31:45,387 Speaker 7: also having to sacrifice a lot as well, and sometimes 1811 01:31:45,627 --> 01:31:48,867 Speaker 7: whether that was family time or work time or other things. 1812 01:31:49,267 --> 01:31:52,187 Speaker 7: I just, yes, it didn't medically made it happen. 1813 01:31:52,347 --> 01:31:54,787 Speaker 2: But the other part was, honey, it's not just one sport. 1814 01:31:54,947 --> 01:31:57,507 Speaker 2: You were going between sports as well, and sometimes I 1815 01:31:57,587 --> 01:31:59,787 Speaker 2: had to reread passages to say, right, are we in rugby? 1816 01:31:59,867 --> 01:32:01,467 Speaker 2: Here are we Rugby League? Are we seven? 1817 01:32:01,587 --> 01:32:02,067 Speaker 7: Where are we? 1818 01:32:02,387 --> 01:32:04,187 Speaker 2: Where are we in this? Because you had tournaments that 1819 01:32:04,307 --> 01:32:06,947 Speaker 2: basically buttered up against each other? How did you so 1820 01:32:07,187 --> 01:32:10,547 Speaker 2: seamlessly move between the codes that you played? 1821 01:32:11,627 --> 01:32:13,747 Speaker 7: Yeah, a lot of back to back stuff, to be honest, 1822 01:32:13,867 --> 01:32:16,147 Speaker 7: And I think at the time I never really got 1823 01:32:17,627 --> 01:32:20,987 Speaker 7: I never really worried too much about transitioning in terms 1824 01:32:21,027 --> 01:32:23,027 Speaker 7: of the games. You know, when I was on the field, 1825 01:32:23,067 --> 01:32:25,347 Speaker 7: I knew what I was up there to do, and 1826 01:32:26,027 --> 01:32:27,987 Speaker 7: you know, I knew what game was playing, what the 1827 01:32:28,067 --> 01:32:31,027 Speaker 7: rules were, and what I what my strengths were. So 1828 01:32:31,107 --> 01:32:34,067 Speaker 7: I'm back to that part of my playing ability. It 1829 01:32:34,267 --> 01:32:36,787 Speaker 7: was just, I suppose more so the logistics of getting 1830 01:32:36,787 --> 01:32:39,747 Speaker 7: around it. I mean, you know, the twenty thirteen was 1831 01:32:39,867 --> 01:32:42,827 Speaker 7: a hectic trying to play, you know, a World Cup 1832 01:32:42,907 --> 01:32:46,667 Speaker 7: sevens from Russia and then get over to England, getting 1833 01:32:46,747 --> 01:32:49,827 Speaker 7: lost in transition in terms of you know, the wrong 1834 01:32:49,907 --> 01:32:52,587 Speaker 7: airports and all of that kind of stuff, getting over there, 1835 01:32:52,987 --> 01:32:57,147 Speaker 7: being the captain, pushing through a whole World Cup, getting 1836 01:32:57,147 --> 01:33:00,187 Speaker 7: to the end and losing, you know. So again it 1837 01:33:00,347 --> 01:33:05,107 Speaker 7: was just I think, just that determination to want to. 1838 01:33:06,627 --> 01:33:08,187 Speaker 26: Be there, be involved. 1839 01:33:09,267 --> 01:33:12,867 Speaker 4: And I think for me it was always about earning it. 1840 01:33:13,187 --> 01:33:14,787 Speaker 9: I always wanted to earn my. 1841 01:33:14,987 --> 01:33:15,667 Speaker 14: Right to be there. 1842 01:33:15,867 --> 01:33:19,347 Speaker 7: I never wanted to be there our names. So I've 1843 01:33:19,507 --> 01:33:22,027 Speaker 7: played for so many years, you know, and I played 1844 01:33:22,107 --> 01:33:25,467 Speaker 7: quite long until obviously in my late thirties, but I 1845 01:33:25,547 --> 01:33:27,187 Speaker 7: always wanted to make sure that I was earning it. 1846 01:33:27,387 --> 01:33:30,507 Speaker 7: So I don't know, I think I just held had 1847 01:33:30,547 --> 01:33:34,067 Speaker 7: a very different, I suppose set of standards in terms 1848 01:33:34,107 --> 01:33:35,427 Speaker 7: of my own accountability. 1849 01:33:36,107 --> 01:33:39,187 Speaker 2: Yeah, that story you alluded to their airports, trains, trams, 1850 01:33:39,307 --> 01:33:43,187 Speaker 2: not speaking Russian. I was even getting anxious reading it. 1851 01:33:44,827 --> 01:33:47,387 Speaker 2: But of course, I mean there were pannicle events, lots 1852 01:33:47,467 --> 01:33:49,827 Speaker 2: of them. You won World Cups in league in five, 1853 01:33:49,907 --> 01:33:52,387 Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight, sevens and twenty thirteen, you 1854 01:33:52,467 --> 01:33:55,107 Speaker 2: won the Nines and twenty nineteen. Does any of your 1855 01:33:55,147 --> 01:33:58,147 Speaker 2: World Cup wins stand out above the others? 1856 01:33:59,467 --> 01:34:01,707 Speaker 7: Probably not the winds, to be honest, Jason, but more 1857 01:34:01,827 --> 01:34:05,507 Speaker 7: so the losses. And I always refer back on that 1858 01:34:05,627 --> 01:34:08,027 Speaker 7: twenty thirteen Ruguy leg World Cup. I have won two 1859 01:34:08,147 --> 01:34:10,867 Speaker 7: prior to that was going into my third one as 1860 01:34:11,027 --> 01:34:14,347 Speaker 7: the captain, and there was just so much I did 1861 01:34:14,587 --> 01:34:16,667 Speaker 7: in that final game that I wasn't happy with that 1862 01:34:17,067 --> 01:34:20,787 Speaker 7: that I was constantly regreet, I think, and that just 1863 01:34:20,867 --> 01:34:22,587 Speaker 7: came down to those you know, there's a little one 1864 01:34:22,667 --> 01:34:27,947 Speaker 7: percenters and playing under pressure, and so I think it's. 1865 01:34:27,907 --> 01:34:32,747 Speaker 26: The losses that get me more than anything, uh, you know, 1866 01:34:32,907 --> 01:34:36,707 Speaker 26: and then those those are just the ones that I feel, 1867 01:34:37,187 --> 01:34:38,547 Speaker 26: you know, I could have done better. 1868 01:34:39,627 --> 01:34:43,787 Speaker 7: The wins for me are awesome that you know, obviously 1869 01:34:43,787 --> 01:34:45,787 Speaker 7: I played teams for sports, so you know, I was 1870 01:34:45,827 --> 01:34:49,187 Speaker 7: putting everything down to a collective where if I reflect 1871 01:34:49,267 --> 01:34:52,067 Speaker 7: back on the losses and what I did individual as 1872 01:34:52,067 --> 01:34:56,387 Speaker 7: an individual, as an individual player, the impact that was 1873 01:34:57,147 --> 01:34:58,227 Speaker 7: what I probably hold onto. 1874 01:34:58,827 --> 01:35:01,667 Speaker 2: What's interesting because and amongst you know, many of the defeats, 1875 01:35:01,747 --> 01:35:04,667 Speaker 2: you were still individually brilliant and recognized as such. But 1876 01:35:04,707 --> 01:35:07,027 Speaker 2: I can understand how that would be phaps pailing by 1877 01:35:07,067 --> 01:35:10,747 Speaker 2: comparison compared to the way the team had gone. There 1878 01:35:10,787 --> 01:35:14,347 Speaker 2: are some harrowing parts to your life story as well. 1879 01:35:14,387 --> 01:35:18,027 Speaker 2: You've experienced some tough times personal loss. Were you always 1880 01:35:18,147 --> 01:35:21,107 Speaker 2: keen to include most things in this book? 1881 01:35:23,307 --> 01:35:24,147 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think I was. 1882 01:35:25,587 --> 01:35:27,507 Speaker 7: My intention for the book was just to tell my 1883 01:35:27,627 --> 01:35:30,947 Speaker 7: truth and my version of events, and I think I 1884 01:35:31,067 --> 01:35:37,627 Speaker 7: hadn't planned for maybe all the I mean, there's a 1885 01:35:37,667 --> 01:35:39,827 Speaker 7: lot of rocks that I've experienced in my life, and 1886 01:35:40,427 --> 01:35:41,947 Speaker 7: I don't know that that's same for all of that 1887 01:35:42,067 --> 01:35:44,107 Speaker 7: to come out, But when you read it there's a 1888 01:35:44,147 --> 01:35:46,307 Speaker 7: whole book, I think, well, that's actually quite a lot, 1889 01:35:47,667 --> 01:35:49,307 Speaker 7: and that's really one of the big things that I 1890 01:35:49,427 --> 01:35:52,107 Speaker 7: have gotten in terms of a lot of those challenges 1891 01:35:52,187 --> 01:35:55,587 Speaker 7: that I have, And the book is probably less about 1892 01:35:55,627 --> 01:35:57,627 Speaker 7: my sports and more about you know, some of those 1893 01:35:57,667 --> 01:36:01,107 Speaker 7: personal challenges that I've been through. So and I thought 1894 01:36:01,867 --> 01:36:03,667 Speaker 7: those stories that would be the tool because that's really 1895 01:36:03,707 --> 01:36:08,747 Speaker 7: what shaped me in terms of being an athlete, and 1896 01:36:09,347 --> 01:36:12,107 Speaker 7: the mums, mary and all of those. 1897 01:36:12,027 --> 01:36:15,067 Speaker 2: Kinds of things we see on the screen now. And 1898 01:36:15,147 --> 01:36:17,787 Speaker 2: I'm sure many people will find it hard to correlate 1899 01:36:17,907 --> 01:36:21,107 Speaker 2: that with you raising a bit of hell as a teenager. 1900 01:36:22,147 --> 01:36:23,947 Speaker 2: On the back of the book, it even says, you know, 1901 01:36:24,027 --> 01:36:26,147 Speaker 2: you were the town bully, which may be stretching things 1902 01:36:26,187 --> 01:36:28,147 Speaker 2: a bit, but how do you reflect on your teenager 1903 01:36:28,307 --> 01:36:28,547 Speaker 2: is now? 1904 01:36:29,827 --> 01:36:32,547 Speaker 26: I think you can shoot back and ask my high 1905 01:36:32,547 --> 01:36:33,227 Speaker 26: school principle. 1906 01:36:33,267 --> 01:36:37,347 Speaker 7: I think most of them would agree.

It takes a little while 2076 01:44:12,547 --> 01:44:14,627 Speaker 27: just to yeah, kind of figure each other out and 2077 01:44:14,787 --> 01:44:16,747 Speaker 27: know where each other is going to run and how 2078 01:44:16,787 --> 01:44:18,307 Speaker 27: we like the ball and all of that sort of thing. 2079 01:44:18,907 --> 01:44:21,787 Speaker 27: But yeah, just pleasing how the growth that we've had 2080 01:44:22,227 --> 01:44:22,707 Speaker 27: as a team. 2081 01:44:22,787 --> 01:44:26,507 Speaker 2: Actually, So, do you have a preferred mid court position? 2082 01:44:27,707 --> 01:44:32,187 Speaker 27: I actually prefers center, but I'm obviously grateful to be 2083 01:44:32,387 --> 01:44:34,227 Speaker 27: on the court and playing in any position. 2084 01:44:34,707 --> 01:44:37,867 Speaker 2: Yeah, And apart from the fact, you know, we obviously 2085 01:44:37,947 --> 01:44:39,867 Speaker 2: know where the different positions are allowed to go on 2086 01:44:39,947 --> 01:44:41,267 Speaker 2: the court and that sort of thing. But what are 2087 01:44:41,347 --> 01:44:45,027 Speaker 2: the other key differences between playing center and playing wing 2088 01:44:45,067 --> 01:44:45,747 Speaker 2: attack as. 2089 01:44:45,627 --> 01:44:49,507 Speaker 27: You have been Yeah, wing attacks you kind of have 2090 01:44:49,627 --> 01:44:52,547 Speaker 27: to be more directive and run the whole attacking and 2091 01:44:52,707 --> 01:44:55,187 Speaker 27: run the center passes and you've got to got to 2092 01:44:55,227 --> 01:44:56,947 Speaker 27: take the lead. And in center, you're more of that 2093 01:44:57,107 --> 01:45:00,027 Speaker 27: linking role well, especially on attack, and that's kind of 2094 01:45:00,067 --> 01:45:02,787 Speaker 27: what I've been used to. So I've just taken like 2095 01:45:02,867 --> 01:45:04,467 Speaker 27: I've taken a little bit of time to find my 2096 01:45:04,587 --> 01:45:08,027 Speaker 27: feet just in that real minding wing attack position. 2097 01:45:08,187 --> 01:45:10,587 Speaker 2: Yeah, and of course part of it too is feeding 2098 01:45:10,827 --> 01:45:12,907 Speaker 2: into the shooting circle, which I guess you do as 2099 01:45:12,947 --> 01:45:14,387 Speaker 2: a center as well. But how nice is it to 2100 01:45:14,427 --> 01:45:16,947 Speaker 2: look into that circle and see Grace and wiki in there. 2101 01:45:18,267 --> 01:45:19,187 Speaker 24: Yeah, very nice. 2102 01:45:19,267 --> 01:45:22,467 Speaker 27: Say it just gives you huge confidence when she's really 2103 01:45:22,547 --> 01:45:24,267 Speaker 27: giving you the eyes and she really wants the bore, 2104 01:45:24,267 --> 01:45:25,507 Speaker 27: because it makes you want to just let it go 2105 01:45:25,587 --> 01:45:25,827 Speaker 27: to her. 2106 01:45:26,387 --> 01:45:27,867 Speaker 2: You were out of this team for a little while, 2107 01:45:28,227 --> 01:45:30,987 Speaker 2: a couple of years almost Actually you're back in now. 2108 01:45:31,067 --> 01:45:33,467 Speaker 2: Of course. How determined where you kim in order to 2109 01:45:33,707 --> 01:45:37,027 Speaker 2: return to the international fold out after being out for 2110 01:45:37,067 --> 01:45:37,907 Speaker 2: the last couple of years. 2111 01:45:39,067 --> 01:45:41,827 Speaker 27: Yeah, I think it's always been at the back of 2112 01:45:41,907 --> 01:45:45,547 Speaker 27: my mind. But the way because I've been not selected 2113 01:45:45,627 --> 01:45:48,147 Speaker 27: for a few years, the way I've approached that non 2114 01:45:48,227 --> 01:45:51,307 Speaker 27: selection has kind of changed over the years, and the 2115 01:45:51,467 --> 01:45:53,867 Speaker 27: last year or so, I've just kind of been just 2116 01:45:54,347 --> 01:45:57,667 Speaker 27: it is what it is, it's meant to be, it's 2117 01:45:57,707 --> 01:45:59,907 Speaker 27: meant to be, and yeah, just kind of really grateful 2118 01:45:59,987 --> 01:46:03,227 Speaker 27: to be back in the environment and yeah, seen coming 2119 01:46:03,307 --> 01:46:04,987 Speaker 27: off this season where I've just been a little bit 2120 01:46:05,027 --> 01:46:05,667 Speaker 27: more refreshed. 2121 01:46:05,947 --> 01:46:09,147 Speaker 2: Yeah, did you not have that mindset before? 2122 01:46:10,707 --> 01:46:10,907 Speaker 4: Yeah? 2123 01:46:11,067 --> 01:46:13,987 Speaker 27: Before, I think I kind of go and went into 2124 01:46:14,027 --> 01:46:17,107 Speaker 27: a little bit of overdrive and like finding every little 2125 01:46:17,147 --> 01:46:18,787 Speaker 27: single thing that I needed to do, and it kind 2126 01:46:18,827 --> 01:46:20,987 Speaker 27: of was probably to my detriment really and just kind 2127 01:46:21,027 --> 01:46:23,187 Speaker 27: of overthinking things a bit, but yeah, just kind of 2128 01:46:23,267 --> 01:46:26,627 Speaker 27: taking that more relax or not relaxed approach, but just 2129 01:46:27,467 --> 01:46:30,907 Speaker 27: bigger picture approach. And yeah, just really grateful to be back. 2130 01:46:31,147 --> 01:46:34,747 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's obviously working now. A change this year 2131 01:46:34,867 --> 01:46:38,587 Speaker 2: in the Constellation Cup is that if Australia happened to 2132 01:46:38,667 --> 01:46:42,147 Speaker 2: win Tests three and four and the series has drawn 2133 01:46:42,267 --> 01:46:45,107 Speaker 2: too too, we go into a situation after the fourth 2134 01:46:45,227 --> 01:46:47,827 Speaker 2: test where you play almost like a mini game, two 2135 01:46:47,987 --> 01:46:51,787 Speaker 2: seven minute halves to decide who actually wins the Constellation Cup. 2136 01:46:51,827 --> 01:46:54,787 Speaker 2: Previously it was on points differential across the four games. 2137 01:46:54,827 --> 01:46:57,987 Speaker 2: Have you thought about without wanting to put the car 2138 01:46:58,067 --> 01:46:59,507 Speaker 2: before the horse. I'm sure you want to win one 2139 01:46:59,547 --> 01:47:01,427 Speaker 2: of these remaining two tests, but if it does finish 2140 01:47:01,467 --> 01:47:04,267 Speaker 2: too too. Have you thought about the extra time scenario 2141 01:47:04,387 --> 01:47:05,147 Speaker 2: after game four? 2142 01:47:06,827 --> 01:47:09,947 Speaker 27: We have mentioned it and very aware of what it 2143 01:47:10,027 --> 01:47:12,347 Speaker 27: could come to, but our plan is to really take 2144 01:47:12,427 --> 01:47:14,227 Speaker 27: this next game and so we don't have to be 2145 01:47:14,307 --> 01:47:14,867 Speaker 27: in that position. 2146 01:47:15,707 --> 01:47:17,467 Speaker 2: No fair enough, I knew you were going to say that, 2147 01:47:17,947 --> 01:47:20,747 Speaker 2: and you're off to the Steel next year. How did 2148 01:47:20,787 --> 01:47:21,307 Speaker 2: that come about? 2149 01:47:21,867 --> 01:47:22,947 Speaker 19: I am I think it just. 2150 01:47:23,067 --> 01:47:26,387 Speaker 27: Came about because of just change. Really, I've been at 2151 01:47:26,387 --> 01:47:29,227 Speaker 27: the Tactics for what it been. Next year would have 2152 01:47:29,227 --> 01:47:31,947 Speaker 27: been my eighth year and no bad bud or anything. 2153 01:47:32,347 --> 01:47:35,187 Speaker 27: Loved every moment at the Tactics, but just with the 2154 01:47:35,267 --> 01:47:39,147 Speaker 27: shortest season next year, I was just like, sorry, why not, 2155 01:47:39,347 --> 01:47:40,667 Speaker 27: let's just give it a go, get out of my 2156 01:47:40,707 --> 01:47:42,827 Speaker 27: comfort zone, challenge myself, try something you. 2157 01:47:43,147 --> 01:47:44,907 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I hope that goes well for you. In 2158 01:47:44,947 --> 01:47:48,307 Speaker 2: the meantime, your focus is on the Silver Ferns in Australia. 2159 01:47:48,387 --> 01:47:50,827 Speaker 2: Test three tonight in Perth, camioda all the best. I 2160 01:47:50,867 --> 01:47:53,067 Speaker 2: hope you don't have to get to that extra time scenario. 2161 01:47:53,427 --> 01:47:55,067 Speaker 2: I hope you can get the job done either tonight 2162 01:47:55,227 --> 01:47:57,587 Speaker 2: or in Test number four. Thanks for your time today, cool, 2163 01:47:57,707 --> 01:47:59,907 Speaker 2: thank you, Thanks Tom caime me or to Poy then 2164 01:48:00,227 --> 01:48:02,507 Speaker 2: Midcuarner from the Silver Fern So yeah, tonight nine o'clock 2165 01:48:02,547 --> 01:48:07,267 Speaker 2: New Zealand time. This game is in Perth rac in Perth, 2166 01:48:07,507 --> 01:48:11,427 Speaker 2: and then Test number four is on Wednesday night John 2167 01:48:11,547 --> 01:48:14,867 Speaker 2: Cain Arena in Melbourne. Obviously, if the Silver Ferns were 2168 01:48:14,907 --> 01:48:17,347 Speaker 2: to win tonight, they would sew up the Constellation Cup. 2169 01:48:17,587 --> 01:48:20,027 Speaker 2: If Australia win tonight, then we go to Game four 2170 01:48:20,507 --> 01:48:22,427 Speaker 2: and that's mentioned If at the end of Game four, 2171 01:48:22,587 --> 01:48:25,387 Speaker 2: the series scorers two to two. Then we go to 2172 01:48:25,747 --> 01:48:29,307 Speaker 2: two seven minute halves to decide who takes home the 2173 01:48:29,387 --> 01:48:32,347 Speaker 2: Constellation Cup, which is a little bit annoying, I guess 2174 01:48:32,427 --> 01:48:34,507 Speaker 2: given the fact that the Silver Ferns have had such 2175 01:48:34,627 --> 01:48:37,107 Speaker 2: convincing victories in the first two Test matches. I know 2176 01:48:37,147 --> 01:48:39,867 Speaker 2: they went into the series knowing that that wouldn't make 2177 01:48:39,907 --> 01:48:42,747 Speaker 2: a difference. But in previous years it would have a 2178 01:48:42,867 --> 01:48:46,307 Speaker 2: fourteen goal win in Test number one and then an 2179 01:48:46,347 --> 01:48:49,387 Speaker 2: eleven goal victory in Test number two was at twenty five, 2180 01:48:49,667 --> 01:48:52,707 Speaker 2: So the plus twenty five at the moment the Silver Ferns, 2181 01:48:52,707 --> 01:48:55,147 Speaker 2: so they, I guess, in previous years, would have known 2182 01:48:55,227 --> 01:48:58,267 Speaker 2: that if they could even lose the two over there 2183 01:48:58,387 --> 01:49:02,107 Speaker 2: narrowly by a combined margin of less than twenty five points, 2184 01:49:02,147 --> 01:49:05,947 Speaker 2: then they'd take the Constellation Cup. Not to beat doesn't matter, victory, 2185 01:49:06,027 --> 01:49:10,467 Speaker 2: margins don't mean anything. It's extra netball, bonus netball. At 2186 01:49:10,467 --> 01:49:12,947 Speaker 2: the end of Test four in Melbourne on Wednesday night, 2187 01:49:13,467 --> 01:49:16,307 Speaker 2: if it's two to two at that point, twenty four 2188 01:49:16,347 --> 01:49:18,267 Speaker 2: away from three, we'll take another break, come back and 2189 01:49:18,387 --> 01:49:21,347 Speaker 2: head out to Mount smart Go Media Stadium.

Yeah, I think so. 2240 01:51:47,627 --> 01:51:49,347 Speaker 28: I think you could kind of see it in the 2241 01:51:49,427 --> 01:51:53,587 Speaker 28: first ten to twenty minutes and then yeah, kind of 2242 01:51:53,787 --> 01:51:55,947 Speaker 28: once we got our first goal, I think things kind 2243 01:51:55,947 --> 01:51:58,467 Speaker 28: of settled down. But yeah, definitely for myself, I thought 2244 01:51:58,507 --> 01:52:02,267 Speaker 28: a little bit, you know, some nerves, but those kind 2245 01:52:02,307 --> 01:52:03,627 Speaker 28: of went away as the game went on. 2246 01:52:04,467 --> 01:52:07,667 Speaker 2: Tonil went so really good result to start. How happy 2247 01:52:07,987 --> 01:52:11,227 Speaker 2: were the players and importantly the coaching staff with the 2248 01:52:11,347 --> 01:52:12,587 Speaker 2: performance last weekend? 2249 01:52:13,867 --> 01:52:16,587 Speaker 28: Yeah, I think the Coast are happy to nil two 2250 01:52:16,667 --> 01:52:20,267 Speaker 28: goals and a clean sheet. I think that game it 2251 01:52:20,427 --> 01:52:22,667 Speaker 28: was almost a bit of a relief. Obviously there was 2252 01:52:22,947 --> 01:52:25,147 Speaker 28: you know, three months to preseason and the build up 2253 01:52:25,227 --> 01:52:28,267 Speaker 28: leading it to their first game. So yeah, I think, 2254 01:52:28,627 --> 01:52:30,307 Speaker 28: you know, I think everyone has to be happy with 2255 01:52:30,387 --> 01:52:32,467 Speaker 28: the Til went on the first day. 2256 01:52:32,747 --> 01:52:34,947 Speaker 2: Two goals, as you say, you got the second one. 2257 01:52:35,347 --> 01:52:36,707 Speaker 2: Talk us through it. How do you how do you 2258 01:52:36,787 --> 01:52:37,227 Speaker 2: remember it? 2259 01:52:38,867 --> 01:52:41,747 Speaker 28: I don't remember too much. I just remember the Franny 2260 01:52:41,867 --> 01:52:43,947 Speaker 28: kind of a good ball coming across the face of 2261 01:52:43,987 --> 01:52:46,507 Speaker 28: the box, and I just tried to get some good 2262 01:52:46,587 --> 01:52:49,587 Speaker 28: contact on it and keep the ball down because you know, 2263 01:52:49,707 --> 01:52:54,067 Speaker 28: sometimes those can go flying, flying over the goal. But yeah, 2264 01:52:54,267 --> 01:52:56,667 Speaker 28: and then obviously the celebration can kind of see him. 2265 01:52:56,667 --> 01:52:58,547 Speaker 28: I face, I was, I was buzzing. 2266 01:52:58,707 --> 01:53:01,867 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, you say sometimes those go blazing over the bar, mate, 2267 01:53:02,107 --> 01:53:04,067 Speaker 2: I reckon seven or eight times out of ten they do. Not, 2268 01:53:04,187 --> 01:53:06,587 Speaker 2: just not not from you, I'm not talking. But it's 2269 01:53:06,627 --> 01:53:09,867 Speaker 2: a it's a really good finish, just a side foot 2270 01:53:10,027 --> 01:53:12,307 Speaker 2: rather than having a you know, having a real blast 2271 01:53:12,347 --> 01:53:15,027 Speaker 2: at it. You know, is that just something that came 2272 01:53:15,147 --> 01:53:17,027 Speaker 2: instinctively because you didn't have a lot of time to 2273 01:53:17,067 --> 01:53:20,027 Speaker 2: think about it. Really, Yeah, exactly. 2274 01:53:20,587 --> 01:53:23,147 Speaker 28: The boor's coming in quick, so I know you've got 2275 01:53:23,187 --> 01:53:25,187 Speaker 28: to try and use the pace of the ball really 2276 01:53:25,267 --> 01:53:27,827 Speaker 28: and kind of dis guide it in. And yeah, I'm 2277 01:53:27,827 --> 01:53:29,667 Speaker 28: happy to kind of stay down to be first. 2278 01:53:30,467 --> 01:53:32,547 Speaker 2: And as a striker, I mean, how much of a 2279 01:53:33,067 --> 01:53:34,627 Speaker 2: I don't know, even though if it's a burden you 2280 01:53:34,707 --> 01:53:36,947 Speaker 2: might be able to tell me to get your first 2281 01:53:37,027 --> 01:53:39,547 Speaker 2: goal chalked up nice and early. As a striker, how 2282 01:53:40,107 --> 01:53:41,667 Speaker 2: comforting and pleasing is that? 2283 01:53:43,267 --> 01:53:43,467 Speaker 4: Yeah? 2284 01:53:43,547 --> 01:53:46,387 Speaker 28: No, it's really pleasing. And yes, it's kind of good 2285 01:53:46,427 --> 01:53:48,187 Speaker 28: to get the first one, first one out of the way, 2286 01:53:49,027 --> 01:53:52,027 Speaker 28: and I even think maybe scoring earlier on the weekend's 2287 01:53:52,067 --> 01:53:54,947 Speaker 28: all why it's kind of helped with my confidence. And yeah, 2288 01:53:54,987 --> 01:53:57,387 Speaker 28: I guess you know, it's just building off my first 2289 01:53:57,427 --> 01:53:58,627 Speaker 28: I'm hoping I can get a few more. 2290 01:53:59,027 --> 01:54:01,307 Speaker 2: And head coach of Auckland FC, Steve Cricker was a 2291 01:54:01,347 --> 01:54:03,867 Speaker 2: striker himself. How helpful has he been to you? 2292 01:54:05,147 --> 01:54:06,107 Speaker 6: Yeah, he's been really good. 2293 01:54:06,507 --> 01:54:10,227 Speaker 28: We always do finishing drills, you know, after the sessions 2294 01:54:10,267 --> 01:54:12,947 Speaker 28: with him, and yeah, he always kind of talks about, 2295 01:54:13,827 --> 01:54:15,987 Speaker 28: you know, wingers getting inside the box and that's where 2296 01:54:16,027 --> 01:54:18,627 Speaker 28: goals are going to be scored. And I think that's 2297 01:54:18,627 --> 01:54:20,627 Speaker 28: what I did on the weekend. So so hopefully you 2298 01:54:20,787 --> 01:54:21,947 Speaker 28: have to with me. 2299 01:54:22,307 --> 01:54:24,307 Speaker 2: I'm sure he will be. And I mean, how have 2300 01:54:24,427 --> 01:54:27,827 Speaker 2: you gone about establishing connections with the other attackers on 2301 01:54:27,907 --> 01:54:29,547 Speaker 2: the team. I mean, you're all new, this is a 2302 01:54:29,627 --> 01:54:31,667 Speaker 2: team that's been pulled together. I know you've had a 2303 01:54:31,667 --> 01:54:34,067 Speaker 2: few months together, but how have you gone about establishing 2304 01:54:34,147 --> 01:54:35,987 Speaker 2: those connections in the front third. 2305 01:54:37,387 --> 01:54:40,067 Speaker 28: Yeah, well, because sum obviously came in a little bit later, 2306 01:54:40,387 --> 01:54:44,507 Speaker 28: but ever since he's coming. You know, he's always talking 2307 01:54:44,627 --> 01:54:47,067 Speaker 28: what kind of the balls he wants, what kind of crosses, 2308 01:54:47,147 --> 01:54:50,267 Speaker 28: and I obviously know on the left hand side you 2309 01:54:50,347 --> 01:54:52,947 Speaker 28: got Frannie who can you know is a very good 2310 01:54:53,027 --> 01:54:54,307 Speaker 28: left foot with crossing. 2311 01:54:54,067 --> 01:54:56,907 Speaker 2: And Liam Gillian, I kind of I know what I'm 2312 01:54:56,947 --> 01:54:57,667 Speaker 2: going to get from. 2313 01:54:57,547 --> 01:54:59,347 Speaker 28: Him when he always wants to take a man on, 2314 01:54:59,467 --> 01:55:02,307 Speaker 28: So maybe timing the runs a little bit better when 2315 01:55:02,307 --> 01:55:05,867 Speaker 28: here's the ball and yeah, thanks like that, And so 2316 01:55:06,027 --> 01:55:08,147 Speaker 28: that's what preseason. It's been long, but it's been I 2317 01:55:08,187 --> 01:55:10,107 Speaker 28: guess good because you know we kind of figure out 2318 01:55:10,147 --> 01:55:12,627 Speaker 28: each other. That's good. 2319 01:55:13,067 --> 01:55:15,827 Speaker 2: And you captain by a bit of a Japanese legend 2320 01:55:15,907 --> 01:55:19,227 Speaker 2: and Hiroki Sakai, can you talk a bit about his 2321 01:55:19,627 --> 01:55:20,987 Speaker 2: influence on the side. 2322 01:55:22,547 --> 01:55:27,227 Speaker 28: Yeah, massive influence. Obviously everyone talks about his English and stuff, 2323 01:55:27,267 --> 01:55:30,227 Speaker 28: but actually on the pitch, he's he's playing behind me, 2324 01:55:30,707 --> 01:55:33,347 Speaker 28: but he's communicating to me the whole game when to go. 2325 01:55:33,707 --> 01:55:36,827 Speaker 28: He makes my life a lot easier. And yeah, he's 2326 01:55:37,027 --> 01:55:38,787 Speaker 28: he's a lead in the change room. He's a funny 2327 01:55:38,827 --> 01:55:41,787 Speaker 28: guy and you know, I think he's got the trust 2328 01:55:41,867 --> 01:55:42,707 Speaker 28: of all us players. 2329 01:55:43,547 --> 01:55:45,747 Speaker 2: And what do you expect from Sydney g FC this afternoon? 2330 01:55:47,547 --> 01:55:48,987 Speaker 28: Yeah, I think they're going to be They're going to 2331 01:55:49,027 --> 01:55:51,427 Speaker 28: try and keep the ball a lot. They're front three 2332 01:55:51,467 --> 01:55:53,667 Speaker 28: is obviously very dangerous, so you know, a lot of 2333 01:55:53,707 --> 01:55:56,987 Speaker 28: link up play, they have a lot of freedom. So yeah, 2334 01:55:56,987 --> 01:55:59,987 Speaker 28: I think we just kind of have to defend together 2335 01:56:00,187 --> 01:56:02,227 Speaker 28: and you know, we know they have tricky players, so 2336 01:56:02,347 --> 01:56:07,867 Speaker 28: maybe doubling up helping teammates on the pitch and so yeah, 2337 01:56:08,027 --> 01:56:10,987 Speaker 28: so they're a great team. But also they've traveled a 2338 01:56:11,027 --> 01:56:13,587 Speaker 28: lot this week, so hopefully we can use that to 2339 01:56:13,667 --> 01:56:14,427 Speaker 28: our advantage. 2340 01:56:15,107 --> 01:56:17,667 Speaker 2: And I know you're only focused on Sydney FC, but 2341 01:56:17,827 --> 01:56:20,987 Speaker 2: have you got even half an eye on the derby 2342 01:56:21,067 --> 01:56:21,587 Speaker 2: next weekend? 2343 01:56:22,627 --> 01:56:25,147 Speaker 28: Yeah, of course, I think.
