1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Good morning, Isaac, welcome back to town after a lengthy 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: road trip. 3 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 2: Good morning, Thanks for having me. 4 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 3: It's good to be about. 5 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: Nice place to go, the New Zealand. I mean, if 6 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: you must go on the road, that's surely a nice location. 7 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't complain. 8 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, nice location, little country unless you got the rampaging Crusaders. 9 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Other than that, it was good. It was good. 10 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: Fortunately they thumped the Force by thirty five points on Saturday, 11 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: forty eight to thirteen. Onwards and upwards though, Yeah, definitely 12 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: just got to put that sort of thing behind you. 13 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 2: I guess you got to keep moving, Yeah, keep moving 14 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: because you've always got next week and yeah, we've just 15 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: got to be better this week. 16 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they had the champ so you know, they're 17 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 3: a very very good time. We were just talking about 18 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 3: the fact that they don't lose two games in a 19 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 3: row very often. 20 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It's pretty devastating that the Chiefs beat them, 21 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: because we were at well next stup in line. So 22 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: now the Crusaders are a solid side and if you 23 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 2: miss a beat against them, that make you pay. 24 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: I know, given a choice, you would say I'd rather 25 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: have a win, but you did win Player of the 26 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: match despite the loss. So that's impressive and congratulations. 27 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. Yeah, it's definitely it's always team first. 28 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: I would it would have loved to come away with 29 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: a win, but no, thank you. 30 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 3: You're in a rich fame of form personally.

Obviously the leagus get tired 50 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: here and there, but compared to the forwards, the body's 51 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: bodies take a lot more collisions than I do. So 52 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 2: I'm feeling quite good in behind them, so just got 53 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: to keep getting behind them and then they protect me 54 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: a lot.
