1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,800 Speaker 1: Morning, this boone. 2 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 2: Good day, Luke. 3 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: You're sounding chipper considering you stayed up for the League 4 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: Grand Final last night. 5 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, well nine thirty kickoff meant you know, it was. 6 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 2: I guess it was before midnight, which is a bit 7 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: easier than watching the All Blacks because they didn't start 8 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: till well a couple of hours later, didn't they But 9 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 2: it was well worth it. Actually, it was a very 10 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 2: good game, an open game. Both teams had a great attitude, 11 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: a lot of tries were scored, and I thought it 12 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: was a fitting climax. 13 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: Really, the Storm will be gutted to be the bride'smaids 14 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: once again, considering they were twenty two to twelve at 15 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: the half and then the Broncos lost skipper Adam Reynolds, 16 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: but somehow they managed to claw back fourteen unanswered points. 17 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: We put it down to Reese Lightning. Reese Walsh, that 18 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: toilet water man. It's working wonders. 19 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, he played really well. He won the clib 20 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: Churchill Medal, which is Player of the Game, and he 21 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: had an influence both on attack and defense. He's a 22 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: rare talent, there's no doubt about it. He's just got 23 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 2: a red The I guess rained and in from time 24 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: to time, but he very much was the difference in 25 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: the game. 26 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: I think you mentioned the all blanks. I kind of 27 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: feel like I've missed half of the sporting action of 28 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: the weekend. I wasn't brave enough to stay out for this, 29 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: but I did catch some of the highlights, if you 30 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: could call it that. It was a messy win, but hey, 31 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: first time that we've managed to go back to back 32 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: in this Rugby Championship, so that inject's a little more 33 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: confidence into this Grand Slam Northern Tour that ying up 34 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: in a few weeks time. 35 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Look, conditions played a major part. It was 36 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 2: absolutely hosing down pretty much throughout the game. Really, he 37 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 2: made it very difficult. The ball was like soap and 38 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: it was all about game management and we played We 39 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: played it better than what the Aussies did. Really, it 40 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: was a pretty satisfying win overall. We took our opportunities. 41 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: They looked really good in the first twenty minutes half 42 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: an hour when they moved the ball around. In fact, 43 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: they would deny a try, which had it been given, 44 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: would have been fantastic. But nevertheless, satisfactory stuff. And as 45 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: you say, hitting off, they play Ireland in Chicago in 46 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: about three weeks time, and then they've got to overcome Wales, 47 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: Scotland and England. If thin one I went a Grand Slam. 48 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: Good luck for the preparation in that and quickly to MPC. 49 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: Canterbury have finished top of the table thirty four to 50 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: fourteen of the Taranaki in a dismal christ Church yesterday. 51 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: Did you say the tickets were just two Backsner's Bot. 52 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, even at two backs, I don't think I would 53 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: have gone along. It was pretty damn miserable, I tell you. 54 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. 55 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 2: So then they played well, Canterbury. They handler conditions well, 56 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 2: they were at counties manacaw, who are come from nowhere? Really? 57 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have picked that. They got the win over Tasman. 58 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: How about this for some touch rugby scoring forty nine 59 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: forty one. 60 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: I know, yeah, I know, I think defense was optional. 61 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: But overall overall it's it's going to be a very 62 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: interesting second rate and that's sure.
