1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation with Jones Land.

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: Well, Australia was beaten by England on the weekend in

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 2: the Rugby Union. But there was a very emotional moment

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 2: that had happened earlier in the day rugby legend Justin

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: Harrison ex Wallaby in two thousand and three, when Australia

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: came second to England in the World Cup, he threw

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: his silver medal into Darling Harbor and he just didn't

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: want to be a loser. He associated with losing. He

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: was so upset at the loss he has regretted it

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: ever since. So he was lured down to the cargo

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: bar tabit Chat for stand Sport about the upcoming game

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: and they surprised him with a replica from the original

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: mold that they'd have made of that medal.

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 3: You told me once that you threw your medal into

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 3: Darling Harbor. How sad you were that you couldn't show

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: your children and your boys.

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: It's a regret of mine.

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 3: So I got in touch with World Rugby.

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: We've got you your silver medal for the two thousand

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: and three World Club. There you got this some kind

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 1: that one. You can't fall at the water right, Wow.

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know. That's not fair. That's not fair. It's

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: it's for the Harrison family, not just you. Yeah. Well

24
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: it's definitely for my two boys because I try to

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: tell them the story and I showed they said where's

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: the metal? And I couldn't shut them.

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: So now I can Wow. Wow, Justin joins us right now, Hey, Justin.

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: Good morning, tell your Justin.

29
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: Not an emotional moment, not just for you, but for

30
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: everybody watching. I loved how you said when they put

31
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: it over your neck. You said, this is what I

32
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: should have done. Stand tall, and that's the lesson. I

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: guess you want your boys to know.

34
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. Yeah, you've started me off on Monday morning.

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: This isn't fair. Again. I've taken back to that moment

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: in time. Look, you know, I probably should have thrown

37
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: myself in Darling Harbor and not the metal. But look,

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: it's very humbling, isn't it to consider that so many

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: people have been involved in what really is, you know,

40
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: an an innocuous event. Really everyone took it very very seriously,

41
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: and for my boys to have a real time example

42
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: of what it means to be a part of something

43
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: bigger than sport, you know, there was a lot of

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: things at play there and a lot of people involved,

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: and I suppose that's the power of sport. It brings

46
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: heemistries together and it brings people together. That's a special

47
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: moments to can't and.

48
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: It just shows when you're young, just how hot headed

49
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: you can be.

50
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 4: And I would have done exactly the same thing, because

51
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 4: it was almost like if you're.

52
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: Not first, your last, and that's that.

53
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 4: But now that I'm fifty four, I sort of looked

54
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: at myself, go, I come like I'm a different man

55
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 4: than what I was in my late twenties early thirties,

56
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: and you'd be the same.

57
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: This is very true's you know, you see sportsmen and

58
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: women maturing before our eyes and turning from young adults

59
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: into fathers, mothers, And that's that's my journey as well.

60
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: A lot of things have been learned along the way.

61
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm a terrified father of two young children now trying

62
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: to get it right and instilling things like honor and

63
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: integrity and honesty and pride in what you're doing. And

64
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: those sorts of things are hard to articulate when you've

65
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: made a few mistakes yourself through your younger years. And

66
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: it's a great opportunity to reflect back. You don't often

67
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: get to go back in time and get in a

68
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: time machine and change your mistakes. And I've been given

69
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: a chance. I've step stepped into a time machine there

70
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: and been able to arrive at the cargo Bar instead

71
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: of leaving in the early hours of the morning without

72
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: without the metal, I've been able to walk away from

73
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: the cargo Bart. It's amazing.

74
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: Well, it was a.

75
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: Really wonderful moment. And that's the lesson we try and

76
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: teach all our children. It's not just about coming first.

77
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: And I think we could all relate to the emotions

78
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: you felt on that morning.

79
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: It was wonderful.

80
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: Justice, Well, thank you very much. Look, it was very

81
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: very powerful moment, and I think that one of the things.

82
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: You're never promoting yourself above anyone else necessarily, but to

83
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: be given that opportunity for a very specific moment in

84
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: our timeline and the Harrison families timeline, that whole clipper

85
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: is going straight to the poor room. Let me assure

86
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: you alongside alongside the metal. It's a wonderful moment and

87
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: we're very very proud to be a part of the

88
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: Rugby family.

89
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 4: And I suppose as well, if you're a member of

90
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 4: the Wallabys, the current Wallabies at the moment. I know

91
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: that you had a loss on the weekend, but perhaps

92
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 4: take a leaf out of Justin's Bookhare, it's not all

93
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: that bad.

94
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: It's a long journey. It's not a long journey.

95
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, look you know I will I will term

96
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: for that with that would be hugely disappointed, as we

97
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: all are. You know in set Sell that crowd it was.

98
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: It was a tantalizing prospect to have one all and

99
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: they're a huge interest in the sport of rugby isery

100
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: ramp up towards twenty seven twenty nine. But certainly you

101
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: can you can isolate the disappointment and find solace in

102
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: the fact that you're wearing the golden tread of your

103
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: Australian national team and you're representing Australians with pride, and

104
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,080
