1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: Rainy week and Buenos Aires hasn't damped the spirits of 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: the AB's ahead of Sunday's tests against the Pumas raises 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: going with one or two more rookies for the rematch 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: with the Pumas well is he will find out seven 5 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: thirty our time this morning. Sam Ackerman as a sports 6 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: commentator with me this morning, getay, Sam Day, Ryan, good 7 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: to have you on. What do you reckons he's going 8 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: to do this morning? 9 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: Listen? 10 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 3: One thing that Razer has printed on us, as we 11 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 3: can expect the expected A is very rare to come 12 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 3: and make some wild changes or throw a whole bunch 13 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 3: of rookies into this scenario. This Rugby Championship really all 14 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 3: roads lead In the next game after this one against 15 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 3: the spring Box that is the biggest game of the season. 16 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 3: Don't expect them to tinker too much with that side 17 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 3: that ran out in the first test. 18 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: So there will be a few force changes through. 19 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 3: Injury absence to the bench, but outside of that it 20 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 3: should be relatively consistent. 21 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: You imagine Ryan in their first starting fifteen. 22 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: What about Wallace the tit and Tomato Williams back from injury. 23 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: Will we see them in the fifteen or will they 24 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: be being. 25 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 3: I feel there's probably more likelihood that Williams will come 26 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 3: off the bench, but he's certainly capable of going straight 27 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 3: into that front row position. He played through injury in 28 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 3: the Super Rugby Final, so he has a high pain 29 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 3: threshold and he has been championing at. 30 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: The bit to get back. 31 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 3: I'd love to see him start, but my I just 32 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 3: feel like safety wise is most likely to come off 33 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 3: the bench. And this for Titi. It's a very settled 34 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: starting loose Ford trio they have at the moment who 35 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 3: are playing well and I think Carrif has done well 36 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: in that position, but I think the Titi, you're right, 37 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 3: is the most likely to come in to that starting side. 38 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 3: He is definitely part of the preferred starting loose Ford's 39 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: in the eyes of many, and you'd think you want 40 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: to get some decent minutes under his belt before he 41 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 3: takes on the box in a few weeks time. 42 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: Say in the first fifteen minutes of the second half 43 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: last weekend Bit week, it was he looking to firm 44 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: that up. I mean, how do you focus on that. 45 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 3: I definitely think they want to show that they can 46 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: put on a bit more fire and that they can 47 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: hold their consistency through out the game because this Argentine's 48 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: side can never be packing lightly. They have been in 49 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 3: New Zealand on New Zealand soil, not on Argentine soil. 50 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 3: It's I'm sure has driving them to a certain extent 51 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 3: as well, but they need to shore it up. They 52 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 3: need to make sure they have a consistency with their 53 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 3: attack as well. I think some smarter options when they 54 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 3: get it, have an opportunity to get out white. It's 55 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 3: fair to say some of the outside backs didn't get 56 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 3: a whole lot of opportunities in that test match. 57 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: Will be interested to see if they're going to. 58 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: Play to the same game plan to try to nail 59 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: it all very things up along the way. 60 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: They seem largely back on track. How long till we 61 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: get that real shock and war that you expect from 62 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: a Robertson team. 63 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like we've been waiting for that for 64 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 3: quite a while. 65 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: Ryan. 66 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: The concept of this all that side kicking into gear 67 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 3: and ruthlessly dismantling. 68 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: Side that we've seen in the past that. 69 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 3: We used to be all excited about the last twenty 70 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: minutes where they could put any team away, Well, it 71 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 3: certainly hasn't always been the case in recent years there 72 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 3: so I would love this to be a comprehensive performance. 73 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 3: Most of all to walk away from this game with 74 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 3: real confidence that I don't want to keep looking ahead 75 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 3: to the next game, because you do have to get 76 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 3: past so you've got in front of you, but that 77 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 3: eden Park Test, the record that's been held there for 78 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 3: so long. They do not want to be the team 79 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: that loses the eden Park record. So every step they 80 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 3: take here, in the back of their mind and certainly 81 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: the fans mind, will be the den Park Test. 82 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, looking forward to that one. 83 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 2: Sam. 84 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: Thank you.
