Josh Morby joins us on 26 00:01:19,587 --> 00:01:22,547 Speaker 2: Weekend Sport. How satisfying Josh for the Hurricanes to get 27 00:01:22,707 --> 00:01:25,267 Speaker 2: a bonus point when after a good performance last night 28 00:01:25,307 --> 00:01:28,827 Speaker 2: and your first outing of the season, it was great. 29 00:01:30,547 --> 00:01:33,547 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's awesome to get a result like that after 30 00:01:33,987 --> 00:01:38,227 Speaker 4: a good preseason and yeah, just happy with how we 31 00:01:38,227 --> 00:01:39,027 Speaker 4: performed last night. 32 00:01:39,907 --> 00:01:42,067 Speaker 2: The buye first up. I mean, somebody's got to get 33 00:01:42,067 --> 00:01:43,507 Speaker 2: it right. But did it feel like you were sort 34 00:01:43,547 --> 00:01:45,227 Speaker 2: of waiting on the start line while all the other 35 00:01:45,307 --> 00:01:46,987 Speaker 2: ten teams got away last weekend? 36 00:01:49,227 --> 00:01:50,987 Speaker 4: Ah? I yes, I gives them a little bit. Yeah, 37 00:01:51,027 --> 00:01:53,307 Speaker 4: Like it's funny being home and having that extra week 38 00:01:53,347 --> 00:01:56,387 Speaker 4: to sort of watch teams play. And I mean after 39 00:01:56,427 --> 00:01:58,267 Speaker 4: a bit of preseason it might be you know, a 40 00:01:58,307 --> 00:02:02,827 Speaker 4: couple of rough spots that it needs fixing, and but no, 41 00:02:02,907 --> 00:02:05,347 Speaker 4: I mean it could have been a bit of a blessing. Really. 42 00:02:05,507 --> 00:02:07,187 Speaker 4: We had that extra week to spend with each other 43 00:02:07,267 --> 00:02:10,907 Speaker 4: and really connect on our camp week that we went 44 00:02:10,947 --> 00:02:15,267 Speaker 4: away on and so yeah, no, I think, yeah, we 45 00:02:15,627 --> 00:02:16,907 Speaker 4: use that to ourn advantage. 46 00:02:17,707 --> 00:02:19,707 Speaker 2: Maana specific I scored the first try of the game, 47 00:02:19,747 --> 00:02:22,267 Speaker 2: but it wasn't long before you bounce back and scored 48 00:02:22,307 --> 00:02:24,587 Speaker 2: your first try. How important was it to quickly bounce 49 00:02:24,667 --> 00:02:27,067 Speaker 2: back after Malwana took that early lead. 50 00:02:28,747 --> 00:02:31,307 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think it was massively important. I 51 00:02:31,347 --> 00:02:33,627 Speaker 4: mean watching them last week, they got on such a 52 00:02:33,827 --> 00:02:37,787 Speaker 4: such a quick roll and against Fiji draws, so I 53 00:02:37,827 --> 00:02:41,107 Speaker 4: mean we know the threat they pose, and it was 54 00:02:41,187 --> 00:02:43,667 Speaker 4: messa to try and get momentum back on our side 55 00:02:43,707 --> 00:02:46,067 Speaker 4: after feel like you said, a quick start for them. 56 00:02:46,387 --> 00:02:50,267 Speaker 2: Big night for you personally with three tries. What was 57 00:02:50,267 --> 00:02:51,867 Speaker 2: was clicking for you? What went so well for you 58 00:02:51,947 --> 00:02:53,627 Speaker 2: last night that allowed you to get in the positions 59 00:02:53,667 --> 00:02:55,147 Speaker 2: to dot down three times? 60 00:02:57,147 --> 00:02:59,867 Speaker 4: I think I think it was definitely the guys you 61 00:02:59,907 --> 00:03:03,187 Speaker 4: know inside doing doing their job. I mean they're creating 62 00:03:03,187 --> 00:03:07,067 Speaker 4: space for us outside to sort of get a bit 63 00:03:07,107 --> 00:03:09,787 Speaker 4: of space and try and try and play. So I 64 00:03:09,827 --> 00:03:11,747 Speaker 4: mean a massive credit to the big boys up front. 65 00:03:11,787 --> 00:03:13,467 Speaker 4: I mean they do a lot of unseen work and 66 00:03:13,827 --> 00:03:15,947 Speaker 4: get us some great go forward board, so it allows 67 00:03:16,027 --> 00:03:18,787 Speaker 4: us sex to you know, to find space and try 68 00:03:18,787 --> 00:03:21,947 Speaker 4: and execute. So I think that was key. I mean, yeah, 69 00:03:21,947 --> 00:03:23,827 Speaker 4: all those big boys here. They did a massive job 70 00:03:23,867 --> 00:03:24,627 Speaker 4: for us last night. 71 00:03:25,467 --> 00:03:29,387 Speaker 2: Now your second try, fair thing hung Northol has gone 72 00:03:29,427 --> 00:03:31,987 Speaker 2: into the into the end goal area. All he has 73 00:03:32,067 --> 00:03:34,707 Speaker 2: to do is put it down and he's got the try. 74 00:03:35,267 --> 00:03:38,027 Speaker 2: He's pasted it to you. What what is going on here? 75 00:03:39,587 --> 00:03:41,147 Speaker 4: I know I'm going to have to get him something 76 00:03:41,707 --> 00:03:45,627 Speaker 4: when we get back on Monday. I reckon, it's yeah, 77 00:03:46,027 --> 00:03:47,747 Speaker 4: I don't know what he was thinking, Nord, don't. I 78 00:03:47,827 --> 00:03:49,547 Speaker 4: must have been screaming for it. I can't remember your 79 00:03:49,547 --> 00:03:52,187 Speaker 4: probably say I was, But I'm pretty thankful. I mean 80 00:03:52,507 --> 00:03:55,427 Speaker 4: that I didn't shell it. To be fair, you're really 81 00:03:55,467 --> 00:03:56,107 Speaker 4: expecting it. 82 00:03:56,907 --> 00:03:58,947 Speaker 2: I guess you don'd expect to pass of those situations. 83 00:03:58,947 --> 00:04:00,387 Speaker 2: But good on you for grabbing it and taking it 84 00:04:00,427 --> 00:04:02,747 Speaker 2: a bit closer to the post as well. You nearly 85 00:04:02,787 --> 00:04:04,627 Speaker 2: had a fourth try too. Didn't you call back for 86 00:04:04,667 --> 00:04:07,027 Speaker 2: a knock on? Did you? As it happened? Do you think, well, 87 00:04:07,027 --> 00:04:07,787 Speaker 2: I might I knock that on. 88 00:04:10,827 --> 00:04:13,547 Speaker 4: I felt like I may have done the right thing. 89 00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:16,347 Speaker 4: But I guess everyone's going to say that. But yeah, 90 00:04:16,347 --> 00:04:18,667 Speaker 4: it was called back, so I was a little bit une. Well, 91 00:04:18,947 --> 00:04:22,947 Speaker 4: you know, we got to got this allowed, so yeah, 92 00:04:22,987 --> 00:04:25,147 Speaker 4: but so one of those gray years isn't it. You've 93 00:04:25,387 --> 00:04:29,267 Speaker 4: really got to be purposeful with that sort of movement. 94 00:04:29,307 --> 00:04:31,827 Speaker 4: I guess Brett Cameron. 95 00:04:31,867 --> 00:04:34,507 Speaker 2: The downside to it all last night was seeing Brett 96 00:04:34,547 --> 00:04:37,307 Speaker 2: Cameron go down and having to leave the field with 97 00:04:37,347 --> 00:04:40,787 Speaker 2: what looks to be a reasonably serious knee injury. I 98 00:04:40,867 --> 00:04:43,027 Speaker 2: know it's part of the game, Guys get injured, you know, 99 00:04:43,147 --> 00:04:45,747 Speaker 2: but how how tough is it to see one of 100 00:04:45,787 --> 00:04:48,147 Speaker 2: your teammates in a situation like that. 101 00:04:49,867 --> 00:04:54,347 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so devastating to see him. O then, I 102 00:04:54,347 --> 00:04:57,947 Speaker 4: mean I live with Brett, and yeah, it's just such 103 00:04:57,987 --> 00:05:00,507 Speaker 4: a tough tough thing to see. I mean it almost 104 00:05:00,707 --> 00:05:02,587 Speaker 4: you know, just pulled out all the pulled out all 105 00:05:02,587 --> 00:05:05,947 Speaker 4: the energy and it's gott Henry Stadium, yes today, Like 106 00:05:07,107 --> 00:05:10,267 Speaker 4: he's such an influential player to us, and for that 107 00:05:10,347 --> 00:05:12,067 Speaker 4: to happen, I mean it's just yeah, Like I think 108 00:05:12,107 --> 00:05:15,107 Speaker 4: it's just devastating. I'm just feeling for him and hoping 109 00:05:15,107 --> 00:05:17,667 Speaker 4: it's it's not as bad as as what it looks. 110 00:05:17,707 --> 00:05:19,067 Speaker 4: So your thoughts for. 111 00:05:18,987 --> 00:05:22,027 Speaker 2: With him at the moment absolutely, as are all Hurricanes 112 00:05:22,027 --> 00:05:24,307 Speaker 2: fans thoughts. He's had to come back from a couple 113 00:05:24,307 --> 00:05:26,787 Speaker 2: of pretty serious injuries and he was in good shape, 114 00:05:26,787 --> 00:05:28,987 Speaker 2: wasn't he? Clarke Laidlaw talked last night, your coach, about 115 00:05:29,027 --> 00:05:31,747 Speaker 2: how he was had a great preseason running the team around, 116 00:05:31,867 --> 00:05:34,147 Speaker 2: looking forward to it. I mean, I guess, I mean, 117 00:05:34,187 --> 00:05:35,627 Speaker 2: you don't want it to happen to anybody, do you, 118 00:05:35,667 --> 00:05:37,667 Speaker 2: But but it's just such bad luck for a guy 119 00:05:37,667 --> 00:05:40,107 Speaker 2: who's already had a decent slice of bad luck. 120 00:05:41,387 --> 00:05:44,787 Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. I mean far already came back from his 121 00:05:45,907 --> 00:05:48,107 Speaker 4: acl you know, a couple of years ago and in 122 00:05:48,227 --> 00:05:51,827 Speaker 4: record time, and that's the credits for Brett. Like, his 123 00:05:51,867 --> 00:05:53,907 Speaker 4: mindset is, you know, one of the best I've seen, 124 00:05:53,987 --> 00:05:57,067 Speaker 4: so you know what he was throwing him, it's it's devastating, 125 00:05:57,067 --> 00:05:59,147 Speaker 4: But I know he's gonna get back on the horse 126 00:05:59,147 --> 00:06:02,027 Speaker 4: and he'll be back in no time better than either. 127 00:06:02,147 --> 00:06:05,867 Speaker 4: So I'm just really, really, you know, thinking of him 128 00:06:05,867 --> 00:06:09,307 Speaker 4: at the moment them. Yeah, like I said, hope it's 129 00:06:09,307 --> 00:06:10,507 Speaker 4: not as bad as is. 130 00:06:10,507 --> 00:06:13,107 Speaker 2: What it looked, well said? Well said, you had a 131 00:06:13,107 --> 00:06:15,787 Speaker 2: strong lead by halftime. Was there a point at which 132 00:06:15,827 --> 00:06:17,907 Speaker 2: you think you thought, OK, we've got control of this game. 133 00:06:20,907 --> 00:06:22,347 Speaker 4: No, I don't think so. I don't think you can 134 00:06:22,387 --> 00:06:25,827 Speaker 4: think like they're in any any game. Yes, it's such 135 00:06:25,827 --> 00:06:29,627 Speaker 4: a fierce competition at the moment, and you know that 136 00:06:29,787 --> 00:06:31,987 Speaker 4: they're one of those teams that once they get the 137 00:06:31,987 --> 00:06:35,227 Speaker 4: tails up, they really come at you. And you know, really, 138 00:06:35,307 --> 00:06:37,227 Speaker 4: we we had to fight hard and that that second 139 00:06:37,227 --> 00:06:40,587 Speaker 4: half and just to keep the pressure on and you know, 140 00:06:40,627 --> 00:06:43,987 Speaker 4: we're to keep accumulating points to to get into a 141 00:06:43,987 --> 00:06:47,547 Speaker 4: healthy sort of lead and like, yeah, like I was saying, 142 00:06:47,547 --> 00:06:49,587 Speaker 4: like we've we had to work really hard last night 143 00:06:49,627 --> 00:06:54,227 Speaker 4: and yet secruded to one. They're at their top quality team. 144 00:06:55,107 --> 00:06:56,907 Speaker 2: You're back with the Hurricanes now, of course, Josh, you 145 00:06:56,987 --> 00:07:00,667 Speaker 2: had a season in France with Montpellier back into Super Rugby. Now, 146 00:07:00,787 --> 00:07:03,067 Speaker 2: what are the biggest things you bring back having you know, 147 00:07:03,107 --> 00:07:05,707 Speaker 2: having had a season playing up in the Northern Hemisphere. 148 00:07:07,667 --> 00:07:11,827 Speaker 4: I think it's it's helped me grow my game as 149 00:07:11,827 --> 00:07:14,147 Speaker 4: a player and as a man. I mean, I guess 150 00:07:14,147 --> 00:07:16,227 Speaker 4: I see the game a little bit differently now being 151 00:07:16,547 --> 00:07:19,947 Speaker 4: in the Northern Hemisphere where you know, they might prioritize 152 00:07:19,987 --> 00:07:22,787 Speaker 4: cacking a lot more and so that sort of space 153 00:07:22,827 --> 00:07:25,507 Speaker 4: I guess may may help them certain games or against 154 00:07:25,547 --> 00:07:28,867 Speaker 4: certain teams. So but yeah, a lot. It's just getting 155 00:07:28,867 --> 00:07:31,227 Speaker 4: a different perspective of of how to play rugby. I mean, 156 00:07:31,267 --> 00:07:35,347 Speaker 4: we're always looking to get better and improve our games. 157 00:07:35,427 --> 00:07:41,747 Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, I hope I improved and I really 158 00:07:41,827 --> 00:07:43,347 Speaker 4: enjoyed my time time up there. 159 00:07:43,827 --> 00:07:46,267 Speaker 2: Well, the first piece of evidence is pretty good last night, 160 00:07:46,307 --> 00:07:48,347 Speaker 2: so I think we can we can safely assume that 161 00:07:48,467 --> 00:07:50,707 Speaker 2: how different was the was the culture around the team, 162 00:07:50,787 --> 00:07:53,627 Speaker 2: the coaching structure was it? Was it quite different from 163 00:07:54,027 --> 00:07:56,187 Speaker 2: being in a super rugby team or not? 164 00:07:57,947 --> 00:08:00,987 Speaker 4: Uh not really Like the weeks are set up pretty 165 00:08:01,267 --> 00:08:07,627 Speaker 4: pretty similar and this is probably much not much difference 166 00:08:07,667 --> 00:08:10,987 Speaker 4: to to be fair, it's just obviously the games, the 167 00:08:11,267 --> 00:08:13,667 Speaker 4: prime time games are nine pm at nights, so getting 168 00:08:13,707 --> 00:08:16,307 Speaker 4: used to a long day is was difficult at first, 169 00:08:17,067 --> 00:08:18,787 Speaker 4: but yeah, it was a quite interesting one. 170 00:08:19,427 --> 00:08:20,867 Speaker 2: You played a bit a fallback when you're over there, 171 00:08:20,827 --> 00:08:22,947 Speaker 2: are I know, I know you've you've played fullback back 172 00:08:22,987 --> 00:08:24,347 Speaker 2: here as well. Do you do you feel us though 173 00:08:24,347 --> 00:08:26,067 Speaker 2: it's a you know, you're a genuine option you went 174 00:08:26,107 --> 00:08:27,867 Speaker 2: to fall back last night? Of course when the back 175 00:08:27,907 --> 00:08:30,427 Speaker 2: line reshuffle happened, do you feel as though you know 176 00:08:30,467 --> 00:08:32,947 Speaker 2: you're willing and able to play in any of those 177 00:08:32,987 --> 00:08:34,427 Speaker 2: back three positions if required? 178 00:08:35,787 --> 00:08:37,587 Speaker 4: Yeah?

When I first started at 181 00:08:42,747 --> 00:08:46,547 Speaker 4: the Hurricanes, I was, I was at fifteen, so I'm 182 00:08:46,547 --> 00:08:48,867 Speaker 4: pretty fairly lucky now that the way the game is going, 183 00:08:48,907 --> 00:08:52,067 Speaker 4: it's the positions are fairly similar in that outside back area. 184 00:08:52,187 --> 00:08:56,667 Speaker 4: So yeah, whatever is best for the team. Happy to do. 185 00:08:56,827 --> 00:08:59,667 Speaker 2: Yeah, up to fee g next week you're packing plenty 186 00:08:59,667 --> 00:09:01,827 Speaker 2: of ice for a trip up to Loudtoka. 187 00:09:03,867 --> 00:09:07,987 Speaker 4: Hopefully hopefully make the team to travel up there.

Brett Cameron. Obviously that's a big blow for 202 00:09:51,427 --> 00:09:53,747 Speaker 2: the Hurricanes, but you know, on first evidence, and yes, 203 00:09:53,787 --> 00:09:57,227 Speaker 2: there are tougher games to come than a game against 204 00:09:57,267 --> 00:09:59,387 Speaker 2: more one in PACIFICA who had that really tough trip 205 00:09:59,427 --> 00:10:01,627 Speaker 2: up to Fiji. They won up there, ton of umung 206 00:10:01,667 --> 00:10:03,747 Speaker 2: of the coach made a lot of changes in his 207 00:10:03,867 --> 00:10:06,507 Speaker 2: starting fifteen and his match day twenty three for last night, 208 00:10:07,587 --> 00:10:10,107 Speaker 2: and you know, I guess the Hurricanes would always have 209 00:10:10,147 --> 00:10:13,827 Speaker 2: been favored coming in fresh But yeah, we can do 210 00:10:13,827 --> 00:10:15,187 Speaker 2: is play what's in front of you. And I thought they, 211 00:10:15,547 --> 00:10:18,667 Speaker 2: you know, for good periods of last night, played very 212 00:10:18,747 --> 00:10:20,987 Speaker 2: very well. When you get fifty two points, score eight tries, 213 00:10:21,027 --> 00:10:23,067 Speaker 2: get your bonus point, I guess you can't ask for 214 00:10:23,107 --> 00:10:25,267 Speaker 2: too much more in terms of what happens on the scoreboard. 215 00:10:25,747 --> 00:10:29,707 Speaker 2: There will be obviously stuff to pick over for the 216 00:10:29,787 --> 00:10:32,867 Speaker 2: coaching staff, but yeah, the win is the thing for 217 00:10:33,187 --> 00:10:33,907 Speaker 2: the Hurricanes. 218 00:10:34,707 --> 00:10:37,867 Speaker 1: For more from Weekend Sport with Jason Fine, listen live 219 00:10:37,987 --> 00:10:41,267 Speaker 1: to News Talk zed B weekends from midday, or follow 220 00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:42,907 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
