1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: Darcy Waldgrave is on Sports Talk this evening and by goodness, 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: State of Origin was a violent affair. 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 2: Violent, it's one way of putting it. 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: Which is an incredibly bad spiritus. 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 2: It was a testoster zone, that's what it was, and 6 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 2: it spewed out of every pore of all the players 7 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: on there. Right from the get go. It just started 8 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: on fire and it didn't stop relentless. The physicality of 9 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 2: that game, the intent of the athletes is they basically 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: try and run right through you, not around you or 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 2: into you, but through over and they carry on. I 12 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 2: could not get over at the first forty minutes was exceptional, 13 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: and of course it was very, very tight. What makes 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: it even better? I used to be a Maroons fan. 15 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: I lived over there for a while. But the longer 16 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: it goes on, the less I care about who wins. 17 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 2: I just want to see in exchange it doesn't actually 18 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: bother me. Who comes up with the lollies at the 19 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: end of I want to see good rugby league, want 20 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: to see hard rugby league. I don't think it needs 21 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: to be too aggressive. And the handbags at fifty paces 22 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: it's a little bit funny, really. 23 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: Really yeah, it's kind of like an ice hockey, right. 24 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 2: They throw their gloves off and yeah, yeah, but the 25 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: display and toward the end of it, look for New 26 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 2: South Wales to do that at some corpus is something 27 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: else there. The heat in that stadium is extraordinary and 28 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: we know what the thought processes were around. Michael McGuire 29 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 2: coached that New South Welsh team and round me written 30 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: off and then they came back and absolutely bulldozed Queensland 31 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 2: and that second match, so that's okay, we're back, came 32 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 2: for the last We've got it, No you haven't. And 33 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: the brilliantly named Bradman best player of the day. I 34 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: think in the park that he looked exceptional. 35 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: Six debutants named in the all Black side to play 36 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: and black Adder back as well. 37 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: Yeah he's back on the open side flank and we 38 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: have got Ardie Savilla up the boots. But you go 39 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: back to the debutants, six of them, five of them 40 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: on the bench. There's three guys on the bench not 41 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: Nowa has had one test, then the other two De 42 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: Groot and Jordi Barrett have had quite a few. But 43 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 2: you get to the stage at the game when the 44 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: Fijians are playing. I don't know what the weather's going 45 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: to be like in San Diego, hopefully like this for 46 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: Mica desk, So like this Marble desk we all broadcast on. 47 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 2: It'll be a wonderful tight land for them to hard land, 48 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: for them to run on. The Fijians might get up 49 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 2: and start going. The All Blacks will try and keep 50 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: them right in the middle, keep them down and try 51 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 2: and grind their way through. But the Fijians start running 52 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: away and we get to twenty minutes to go, how 53 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: likely Scott Robertson going to be too empty? His bench 54 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: with five decks on it. That's a lot of pressure 55 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: to put onto young guys. Yeah, a lot of pressure. 56 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: So we expect what I'd expect that the game will 57 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 2: start off with a hess in a raw, not I'm 58 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: like Origin, and the All Blacks will try and get 59 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: out well ahead before they need. The substitute of it 60 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: is tight Scott Robinson maywell and go, you know what, 61 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 2: you're an All Black, now get out there and in 62 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: your stripes. On the other fascinating sides of it, and 63 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: Justin Marshall joins us on the show this evening up 64 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 2: after seven o'clock on Sports Talk is and I asked him. 65 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: I said, or Ratima and he goes, I don't care 66 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 2: either way. It doesn't bother, so you can tea or 67 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: t whatever it is anyway. So courtis one test, it's great. 68 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: The other day amazing. 69 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: I hold them off the bench, no test. So your 70 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: half back pairing you All Blacks has a grand total 71 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: of one test off the bench to back up. That's 72 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: more pressure. But you've got Ardie Savia coming out a eight, 73 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: help out, Damien McKenzie settling, and it's on the outside 74 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: and yeah there's some interesting course. We'll talk all about 75 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: it up after seven o'clock with just marsh. 76 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: It's it's not going to be the test aster zone 77 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: that this is right now and who that were before? 78 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: I love it well.
