James Slipper celebrates his two hundred 7 00:00:28,387 --> 00:00:32,787 Speaker 3: and third Super Rugby game with a magical win from 8 00:00:32,827 --> 00:00:37,587 Speaker 3: his team. The Brumbies down by twenty four points to seven, 9 00:00:38,027 --> 00:00:41,787 Speaker 3: they've come back and won it by thirty three points 10 00:00:41,827 --> 00:00:42,667 Speaker 3: to twenty four. 11 00:00:42,867 --> 00:00:45,907 Speaker 2: The Chiefs were on course to upset prop James Slippers 12 00:00:45,947 --> 00:00:48,707 Speaker 2: record two hundred and third game of Super Rugby with 13 00:00:48,707 --> 00:00:51,467 Speaker 2: twenty minutes to go before three tries and ten minutes 14 00:00:51,547 --> 00:00:53,587 Speaker 2: change the course of the game for the Brumbies and 15 00:00:53,707 --> 00:00:56,667 Speaker 2: they cap the win with a Corey Tool try with 16 00:00:56,747 --> 00:00:59,667 Speaker 2: a minute to go. Chiefs coach John o'gibbs is with 17 00:00:59,827 --> 00:01:03,027 Speaker 2: us from Canberra twenty four to seven ahead, John O, 18 00:01:03,187 --> 00:01:07,627 Speaker 2: and you lost thirty three twenty four. So what happened? 19 00:01:11,627 --> 00:01:18,267 Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, it's extremely disappointing for everyone and you know 20 00:01:18,347 --> 00:01:23,507 Speaker 4: the fact that we couldn't maintain scoreboard pressure in the 21 00:01:23,627 --> 00:01:29,267 Speaker 4: in the second half. You know, ultimately cost us, and 22 00:01:30,147 --> 00:01:32,107 Speaker 4: you know that they have a good value. I said 23 00:01:32,107 --> 00:01:36,827 Speaker 4: that last night after the game. You know they they 24 00:01:36,867 --> 00:01:40,667 Speaker 4: responded after half time, got a bit of a roll on, 25 00:01:41,187 --> 00:01:46,307 Speaker 4: But even that, we hit our opportunities to to to 26 00:01:46,427 --> 00:01:48,867 Speaker 4: keep that pressure on them and we didn't do it. 27 00:01:49,627 --> 00:01:51,507 Speaker 2: What do you think your key messages will be to 28 00:01:51,587 --> 00:01:54,307 Speaker 2: the team when you sit down to review this one. 29 00:01:56,187 --> 00:01:58,267 Speaker 4: Well, I think you just yeah, you have to look 30 00:01:58,267 --> 00:02:04,347 Speaker 4: at the air rate in that that period after halftime. 31 00:02:05,707 --> 00:02:09,227 Speaker 4: You know, we had a lot of possession that resulted 32 00:02:09,267 --> 00:02:13,627 Speaker 4: in in turnovers. We were inaccurate, and we gave the 33 00:02:13,667 --> 00:02:16,667 Speaker 4: ball back to the master only one phase there. And 34 00:02:18,867 --> 00:02:23,907 Speaker 4: you know, for them, they didn't have to go into 35 00:02:23,987 --> 00:02:26,907 Speaker 4: deep sets of defense or or find a way out 36 00:02:26,987 --> 00:02:30,547 Speaker 4: sort of thing. We gave them opportunities to get back 37 00:02:30,547 --> 00:02:32,987 Speaker 4: in the game. And you know, a good team like that, 38 00:02:34,987 --> 00:02:38,587 Speaker 4: you know you do that, you invite danger. 39 00:02:39,267 --> 00:02:42,307 Speaker 2: So game management is that a way to encapsulate it? 40 00:02:42,347 --> 00:02:45,987 Speaker 2: Do you just need better game management in the last 41 00:02:45,987 --> 00:02:47,627 Speaker 2: twenty minutes of the game for example last night? 42 00:02:50,267 --> 00:02:55,547 Speaker 4: Not not necessarily game management, because game management for me 43 00:02:55,787 --> 00:03:00,987 Speaker 4: is about option taking. Did we have the right options? 44 00:03:01,027 --> 00:03:03,427 Speaker 4: Were We're looking at it in the right way. I 45 00:03:03,427 --> 00:03:06,267 Speaker 4: think we were. I just think it literally came down 46 00:03:06,427 --> 00:03:10,467 Speaker 4: too you know, did we you know, did we look 47 00:03:10,507 --> 00:03:14,987 Speaker 4: after the ball? You know, it was a skill where 48 00:03:14,987 --> 00:03:18,627 Speaker 4: it needed to be, you know, the breakdown stuff became 49 00:03:18,827 --> 00:03:22,427 Speaker 4: really really contested in that last thirty minutes of the game. 50 00:03:23,107 --> 00:03:26,667 Speaker 4: You know, did we match that? So we probably didn't, 51 00:03:26,907 --> 00:03:29,587 Speaker 4: you know, So it's not necessarily game management and the 52 00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:35,267 Speaker 4: options being taken. It's probably you know, managing the pressure 53 00:03:35,307 --> 00:03:38,347 Speaker 4: and putting them under pressure with the scoreboard required us 54 00:03:38,427 --> 00:03:40,027 Speaker 4: to be a lot more accurate than we were. 55 00:03:40,587 --> 00:03:42,507 Speaker 2: How frustrating was it, John, You know, you're twenty four 56 00:03:42,547 --> 00:03:45,467 Speaker 2: to seven ahead with an hour gone and then it 57 00:03:45,547 --> 00:03:47,627 Speaker 2: all turns around. You'd played well for the most part 58 00:03:47,667 --> 00:03:51,187 Speaker 2: anyway up to that point. How how challenging a watch 59 00:03:51,267 --> 00:03:52,347 Speaker 2: was it from the coaching box? 60 00:03:55,107 --> 00:03:58,227 Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess it's like the same for the supporters. 61 00:03:58,267 --> 00:04:03,547 Speaker 4: Do they can see what's going on? But yeah, like 62 00:04:04,307 --> 00:04:08,147 Speaker 4: it requires those types of games against you know, the 63 00:04:09,067 --> 00:04:13,387 Speaker 4: top opposition, and you know, in the context and all 64 00:04:13,507 --> 00:04:17,027 Speaker 4: sorts of things that requires a moment's you know, attention 65 00:04:17,227 --> 00:04:20,627 Speaker 4: and a moment's execution. And you know, I felt like 66 00:04:20,747 --> 00:04:22,907 Speaker 4: the boys were locked in. They had a good week. 67 00:04:23,747 --> 00:04:26,467 Speaker 4: You know, the efforts was there, it's just in the 68 00:04:26,667 --> 00:04:31,467 Speaker 4: in the crunch moments. You know, some of that skill 69 00:04:31,547 --> 00:04:33,467 Speaker 4: stuff wasn't where it needed to be. 70 00:04:34,067 --> 00:04:36,427 Speaker 2: How much were you lean on your senior players to 71 00:04:36,747 --> 00:04:44,827 Speaker 2: drive a response after this, Yeah, like you do. 72 00:04:45,147 --> 00:04:47,987 Speaker 4: We are an experienced group. You know, the whole of 73 00:04:48,027 --> 00:04:51,187 Speaker 4: the group is experienced. They've played a lot of games together. 74 00:04:51,267 --> 00:04:53,867 Speaker 4: There's good cohesion in the squad. I've been together for 75 00:04:53,907 --> 00:04:59,427 Speaker 4: a while. So you know the response is you know, 76 00:04:59,547 --> 00:05:04,227 Speaker 4: that is the responsibility of everyone. So coaches included getting 77 00:05:05,147 --> 00:05:08,227 Speaker 4: the focus and the rights spots, you know, working on 78 00:05:08,267 --> 00:05:10,067 Speaker 4: all the things that we need to work on and 79 00:05:10,107 --> 00:05:12,427 Speaker 4: nothing that we don't you know, we don't need to 80 00:05:12,467 --> 00:05:17,107 Speaker 4: get distracted and you know look under rocks and you know, 81 00:05:17,867 --> 00:05:20,387 Speaker 4: go down rote holes. We just need to be really clear. 82 00:05:20,587 --> 00:05:23,467 Speaker 4: This week's a pretty important week for us, but we've 83 00:05:23,467 --> 00:05:26,267 Speaker 4: also got the opportunity of being together and been on 84 00:05:26,347 --> 00:05:30,787 Speaker 4: the road and that that provides an opportunity as well. Yeah. 85 00:05:30,787 --> 00:05:32,467 Speaker 2: I was going to ask that because your head straight 86 00:05:32,627 --> 00:05:35,027 Speaker 2: across to Western Australia, don't you for your game against 87 00:05:35,307 --> 00:05:37,467 Speaker 2: the Force next Saturday night? I guess if you were 88 00:05:37,467 --> 00:05:39,427 Speaker 2: playing at home, the team might break up for a 89 00:05:39,427 --> 00:05:41,467 Speaker 2: couple of days and then come back together. So you 90 00:05:41,467 --> 00:05:44,507 Speaker 2: feel it will be helpful to stay together on tour 91 00:05:44,547 --> 00:05:46,507 Speaker 2: if you like, ahead of your next game next weekend. 92 00:05:47,707 --> 00:05:51,747 Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. And I think you know, there's 93 00:05:51,747 --> 00:05:55,387 Speaker 4: a lot of benefit and being on the road. Obviously 94 00:05:55,427 --> 00:05:58,027 Speaker 4: we've played Friday night. We have in the eight day turnaround, 95 00:05:58,187 --> 00:06:02,947 Speaker 4: so even how we we've got a late departure out 96 00:06:02,987 --> 00:06:05,987 Speaker 4: of Canberra today, how we use that time, how we 97 00:06:06,067 --> 00:06:10,347 Speaker 4: use I'm on the plane, how we use Sunday. I 98 00:06:10,387 --> 00:06:13,267 Speaker 4: think that's really there's there's a lot of opportunity in it, 99 00:06:13,267 --> 00:06:16,827 Speaker 4: and it's going to be beneficial because this is an 100 00:06:16,827 --> 00:06:17,547 Speaker 4: important week for. 101 00:06:17,547 --> 00:06:20,827 Speaker 2: Ris see ye to Paul Viti is coming home with 102 00:06:20,867 --> 00:06:24,387 Speaker 2: a knee injury. Is that the same one he injured 103 00:06:24,467 --> 00:06:25,907 Speaker 2: last year which kept him out of the end of 104 00:06:25,947 --> 00:06:28,147 Speaker 2: year two with the All Blacks. 105 00:06:29,067 --> 00:06:31,667 Speaker 4: No, I don't believe so, but it has been an 106 00:06:31,707 --> 00:06:39,947 Speaker 4: ongoing issue and you know it's just yeah, it requires 107 00:06:41,307 --> 00:06:43,947 Speaker 4: you know, a bit of management and it's just yeah, 108 00:06:44,427 --> 00:06:47,907 Speaker 4: it's puffed up and it's responded badly from yesterday. So 109 00:06:49,827 --> 00:06:53,267 Speaker 4: given the nature of only having twenty eight players over 110 00:06:53,307 --> 00:06:58,347 Speaker 4: here and the importance of this week and the preparate 111 00:06:58,427 --> 00:07:03,387 Speaker 4: all those types of things. Yeah, it placed them in doubt, 112 00:07:03,707 --> 00:07:07,987 Speaker 4: and so making a replacement it's pretty important for the group. 113 00:07:08,307 --> 00:07:10,587 Speaker 2: So you're hoping he'll be okay. Yeah, Yeah, you're hoping 114 00:07:10,587 --> 00:07:12,587 Speaker 2: he'll be okay for Easter though when when you get 115 00:07:12,587 --> 00:07:14,267 Speaker 2: back against the war tas that's the plan. 116 00:07:16,107 --> 00:07:18,827 Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see how We'll see how the next week goes. 117 00:07:19,107 --> 00:07:22,707 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Daniel Rohner and like I forget the also 118 00:07:22,787 --> 00:07:25,147 Speaker 2: coming home. How bad are their injuries? 119 00:07:27,467 --> 00:07:30,547 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're probably within the twenty four hour period of 120 00:07:31,347 --> 00:07:37,787 Speaker 4: having absolute certainty on the extent, but yeah, significant and 121 00:07:39,667 --> 00:07:45,347 Speaker 4: really disappointed for both of them. And I think Lola 122 00:07:45,547 --> 00:07:51,107 Speaker 4: I injured it reasonably quickly when he injured his hand, 123 00:07:51,147 --> 00:07:54,027 Speaker 4: reasonable quickly when he went on. But you know he 124 00:07:54,107 --> 00:07:58,307 Speaker 4: hung up for us, you know, playing with a broken 125 00:07:58,387 --> 00:08:02,707 Speaker 4: hand and just digging in was was pretty awesome and 126 00:08:02,947 --> 00:08:06,427 Speaker 4: speaks really highly of the guy and his commitment to 127 00:08:06,427 --> 00:08:07,187 Speaker 4: to what we're trying to do. 128 00:08:08,067 --> 00:08:10,787 Speaker 2: All right, just to finish, And I mean, you never 129 00:08:10,827 --> 00:08:12,547 Speaker 2: want to lose a game, right, But in some ways 130 00:08:12,667 --> 00:08:15,827 Speaker 2: is it is it a coaching challenge that you relish? 131 00:08:15,907 --> 00:08:15,987 Speaker 4: Now? 132 00:08:16,067 --> 00:08:17,987 Speaker 2: You talked about getting on the plane, you know, making 133 00:08:18,067 --> 00:08:20,467 Speaker 2: use of that time getting over to Western Australia, getting 134 00:08:20,467 --> 00:08:23,227 Speaker 2: around one another. Is it a coaching challenge that you 135 00:08:23,227 --> 00:08:25,667 Speaker 2: you in some ways will relish attacking. 136 00:08:27,667 --> 00:08:31,947 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I think we you know, you're got to 137 00:08:31,987 --> 00:08:34,867 Speaker 4: take that result on the chin. You've got to you know, 138 00:08:34,987 --> 00:08:37,067 Speaker 4: like there's no hard luck stories out of last night. 139 00:08:38,507 --> 00:08:40,907 Speaker 4: You know, we went good enough to first head off. 140 00:08:40,907 --> 00:08:43,547 Speaker 4: We had chances. I mean, you know we didn't do it. 141 00:08:43,707 --> 00:08:47,627 Speaker 4: But you know, for me, we're an experienced group. You know, 142 00:08:47,787 --> 00:08:49,947 Speaker 4: they've played a lot of rugby together, they've been together 143 00:08:49,987 --> 00:08:52,667 Speaker 4: for a long time. There's you know, there's a lot 144 00:08:52,707 --> 00:08:56,747 Speaker 4: of quality in the in the whole group, and you know, 145 00:08:56,827 --> 00:08:59,867 Speaker 4: we get tighter, we get our focus where it needs 146 00:08:59,907 --> 00:09:03,227 Speaker 4: to be, and we relish the challenge of you know, 147 00:09:03,787 --> 00:09:07,987 Speaker 4: playing a team that's come off to buy is at home. 148 00:09:09,307 --> 00:09:13,507 Speaker 4: I thought the Force were absolutely great value against the Hurricanes, 149 00:09:14,187 --> 00:09:17,507 Speaker 4: and you need to admire that. You know, they were 150 00:09:17,547 --> 00:09:19,627 Speaker 4: the team that we're about to go on to buy 151 00:09:19,707 --> 00:09:21,707 Speaker 4: that had a couple of bad results. They had a 152 00:09:21,747 --> 00:09:25,227 Speaker 4: lot of reasons or excuses if they wanted to not 153 00:09:25,387 --> 00:09:27,347 Speaker 4: to turn up against the Hurricanes. But I thought they 154 00:09:27,387 --> 00:09:29,947 Speaker 4: were great barely so that speaks volumes of their culture 155 00:09:30,667 --> 00:09:33,947 Speaker 4: and we need to get this week's preparation right and 156 00:09:34,747 --> 00:09:37,787 Speaker 4: you know, get ready.
