1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,119
Speaker 1: The rugby New Zealand faced their second match against England

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: this weekend after a nail biting finished last week. Both

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: squads have been named with almost no changes. We're just

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Finlay Christie replacing TJ. Peinada following his injury. There's also

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: a change over at the England side. Elliott Smith is

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: News Talks here Be's rugby commentator and he is with

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: me now. Elliott, good morning, Nice to have you on

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: the program. Is this a more significant test given than

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: it's Eden Park?

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. Possibly for the All Blacks now

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: they've had a week to settle into their combinations. Scott

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: Roberts Simm's no longer like the first week of school,

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: he was saying yesterday to the media. It's more like, Okay,

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: we know what we're doing. Now everyone knows they're way

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: to the class room. Let's get things done. So for

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: the All Blacks, I think is the sense that last

17
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: week was about putting some systems in place. This week

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: it's really about fine tuning that and putting what they

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: want to do in terms of a rugby product out

20
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: onto the park. Look, they got the win last week,

21
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: but it's quite clear that it wasn't entirely per effect

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: or thing that hard want things to go over the

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 2: course of a season. So week one on the board,

24
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: now that looks a week two and try and make

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: some improvements.

26
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: What are you expecting. Do you expect that now that

27
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: they've got that first one out of the way, maybe

28
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: the nerves or the gishes or whatever are gone and

29
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: that we'll just kind of run home.

30
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: Let's hope so from an all tax perspective and hope

31
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: that things run a little more smooth. England will be

32
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,639
Speaker 2: making sure to the best of their possibilities. That can't happen,

33
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: of course, and you all Blacks desperately need to find

34
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: a way to figure out this rush defense or the

35
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: unbreillered defense, whatever way you won't call it. They need

36
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: to find a way to score more points against England.

37
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: England were very very good at suffocating the All Black

38
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: last week, making sure there was in enough space. And

39
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: you'll Blacks are a team that historically likes to run

40
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: the ball and use their outside backs and create some

41
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: opportunities there. They simply didn't get enough of those last

42
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: week against England. They had two tries in the first

43
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: spell where keeps to trialists and the second spell, and

44
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: that they're not a team that is comfortable. I don't

45
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: think we're scoring penalty goals to keep the scoreboard ticking

46
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: over and win test that way. So they're going to

47
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: have to try and find ways to get past this

48
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: English defense. And there wasn't a lot of space out

49
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 2: on the park last week, and that's what international rugby

50
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: is seemingly all about at the moment, is finding those

51
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: little patches of space and converting that into try scoring opportunities.

52
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: Elliott, thank you. You're going to pick a score for us?

53
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: I'll go to the All Blacks. I hit the All

54
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: Blacks I think by five when I was chatting last week,

55
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: So I'm going to go the All Blacks by seven?

56
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: How about that tomorrow?

57
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: And I sounds pretty good. Allott Smith with US News
