I'd imagine 13 00:00:42,787 --> 00:00:44,907 Speaker 2: how happy you reckon, the playing group and the coaches 14 00:00:44,947 --> 00:00:48,187 Speaker 2: were with last night or yesterday afternoons win over the 15 00:00:48,227 --> 00:00:49,347 Speaker 2: Melbourne Rebels. 16 00:00:49,667 --> 00:00:50,507 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're all happy. 17 00:00:51,267 --> 00:00:55,947 Speaker 4: First semi finalite home since twenty sixteen, and that was 18 00:00:56,747 --> 00:01:01,227 Speaker 4: our goal at the start start of preseason was to 19 00:01:02,467 --> 00:01:04,107 Speaker 4: have a home playoffs and we got that through the 20 00:01:04,147 --> 00:01:06,827 Speaker 4: quarters and now we got through the semi so everyone 21 00:01:06,907 --> 00:01:10,347 Speaker 4: was happy. A few things you need to touch up 22 00:01:10,387 --> 00:01:13,107 Speaker 4: on from the Rebels game, but no, you're happy to 23 00:01:13,227 --> 00:01:13,947 Speaker 4: have a home seeming. 24 00:01:14,107 --> 00:01:17,147 Speaker 2: Yeah, exciting times for the players and for Hurricanes fans 25 00:01:17,147 --> 00:01:19,147 Speaker 2: as well. Just on the game last night, you were 26 00:01:19,547 --> 00:01:22,907 Speaker 2: only ahead seven six right up until just before halftime 27 00:01:22,907 --> 00:01:26,347 Speaker 2: when Josh Morby scored. Wasn't it quite coming together for 28 00:01:26,427 --> 00:01:27,147 Speaker 2: you in the first half? 29 00:01:27,147 --> 00:01:27,627 Speaker 5: Do you think? 30 00:01:28,187 --> 00:01:30,027 Speaker 3: Yeah, we got credit to the Rebels. 31 00:01:30,667 --> 00:01:34,667 Speaker 4: You know, under their circumstances, they came out firing in 32 00:01:34,667 --> 00:01:37,307 Speaker 4: that first twenty minutes, sort of stunned us. I guess 33 00:01:37,707 --> 00:01:42,187 Speaker 4: they were just physical coming after our breakdown, and they're 34 00:01:42,227 --> 00:01:45,347 Speaker 4: really good in line out time and their first twenty 35 00:01:45,387 --> 00:01:48,307 Speaker 4: minutes they really put us under the pump and leading 36 00:01:48,347 --> 00:01:48,987 Speaker 4: into halftime. 37 00:01:49,867 --> 00:01:52,587 Speaker 2: Second half though, it seemed as though you came out 38 00:01:52,627 --> 00:01:55,107 Speaker 2: with a lot more intent. I think five of your 39 00:01:55,547 --> 00:01:57,707 Speaker 2: tries in the second half. What do you think changed 40 00:01:57,707 --> 00:01:58,347 Speaker 2: after the break? 41 00:01:59,027 --> 00:02:03,107 Speaker 4: I feel like they sort of slowed down. They weren't 42 00:02:03,387 --> 00:02:08,107 Speaker 4: coming after our breakdown as much and were just just camee. 43 00:02:08,187 --> 00:02:10,587 Speaker 4: We just got our k height right and we're cleaning 44 00:02:10,627 --> 00:02:12,987 Speaker 4: past the ball and we're lifted on a plan of 45 00:02:12,987 --> 00:02:15,507 Speaker 4: fatig and we're just playing on top, which is which 46 00:02:15,587 --> 00:02:17,587 Speaker 4: is how we play. We like to play quick in 47 00:02:18,707 --> 00:02:21,187 Speaker 4: and on top of teams, and yeah, that sort of 48 00:02:21,227 --> 00:02:21,747 Speaker 4: opened up for. 49 00:02:21,787 --> 00:02:25,067 Speaker 2: The second half when you're trying to get yourself organized 50 00:02:25,067 --> 00:02:27,147 Speaker 2: and do you know, do the sorts of things you 51 00:02:27,227 --> 00:02:28,787 Speaker 2: just talked about there in the second half. 52 00:02:29,187 --> 00:02:31,027 Speaker 5: Whose are the loudest voices in the team? 53 00:02:31,027 --> 00:02:33,747 Speaker 2: I'd imagine TJ's would be, But who else is kind 54 00:02:33,747 --> 00:02:35,747 Speaker 2: of driving the team around in moments like that? 55 00:02:36,867 --> 00:02:42,227 Speaker 4: Jeordie, Jordy Barrett, He's sort of he's not only leads 56 00:02:42,227 --> 00:02:47,027 Speaker 4: of his words, but also his actions. So yeah, his 57 00:02:47,027 --> 00:02:49,467 Speaker 4: his words and actions will prospect the loudest. 58 00:02:50,067 --> 00:02:52,787 Speaker 2: Xavier and Mia looked like he blow a calf out. 59 00:02:52,827 --> 00:02:55,547 Speaker 2: It was really sad to see him have to come 60 00:02:55,587 --> 00:02:57,987 Speaker 2: off in the first half. Did you see him afterwards, 61 00:02:58,267 --> 00:03:00,747 Speaker 2: as I mean, were you able to sort of, you know, 62 00:03:00,827 --> 00:03:03,067 Speaker 2: to get around him and look after him, because it 63 00:03:03,107 --> 00:03:06,307 Speaker 2: looked like a quite a serious calf problem for Xavier. 64 00:03:07,027 --> 00:03:10,507 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, philing feeling for Xavier. 65 00:03:11,867 --> 00:03:15,187 Speaker 4: He's probably in career best for him, and he's playing 66 00:03:15,987 --> 00:03:18,787 Speaker 4: playing really he was playing really good rugby and year 67 00:03:18,827 --> 00:03:20,707 Speaker 4: to see him go down like that was it was 68 00:03:20,747 --> 00:03:23,747 Speaker 4: pretty sad. Yeah, he's he's in a he's in a 69 00:03:23,787 --> 00:03:26,227 Speaker 4: moon boot now and I sort of flipped them a message, 70 00:03:26,307 --> 00:03:29,427 Speaker 4: just just to get around them and just a little 71 00:03:29,467 --> 00:03:30,227 Speaker 4: more that we're here. 72 00:03:31,227 --> 00:03:34,227 Speaker 2: It brings the Rebels franchise to an end. Of course, 73 00:03:34,267 --> 00:03:37,467 Speaker 2: pretty emotional scenes after full time. I'm not sure whether 74 00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:40,507 Speaker 2: you saw their huddle, but they were all all pretty emotional. 75 00:03:40,507 --> 00:03:42,907 Speaker 2: Did you spend any time with the Rebels players after 76 00:03:42,947 --> 00:03:43,267 Speaker 2: the game? 77 00:03:44,267 --> 00:03:48,467 Speaker 4: No, not too much. We sort of shook hands after 78 00:03:48,507 --> 00:03:51,787 Speaker 4: the game. I caught up a little bit of bile 79 00:03:51,827 --> 00:03:56,867 Speaker 4: any equality. We've played a little bit in the engine 80 00:03:56,907 --> 00:03:59,827 Speaker 4: under twenties and caught up with him. But yeah, emotional 81 00:04:00,027 --> 00:04:02,347 Speaker 4: for them.
