Reese Hodge, Hello. 8 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: Hi, You're going great. 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 3: Have you checked out the new field? 10 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: I had no chance. I actually saw on the Gold 11 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: Coast head down to Sydney tomorrow afternoon after training, so 12 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: I'm actually really looking forward to getting out there on 13 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: Friday at Captain John and just having a look around. 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 2: Such an exciting time for the Wallabies and as fans 15 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 2: of the Wallabies. A great win against the spring Box 16 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:45,959 Speaker 2: last Saturday. 17 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm obviously very happy with the result, especially after 18 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: the lost against Argentine Are a couple of weeks ago 19 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: and you have to respond. So it was great to 20 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: get the win. But I guess we've talked a lot 21 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: about this week how we've kind of slowed to put 22 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: back to back performances and wins together over the past 23 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: few years, and it's something that we are working hard 24 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: towards this weekend and hopefully we can do the fans 25 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: and signing at the new stading something sure about. 26 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 3: Well, there's been a barrage of high balls, haven't they. 27 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 3: Like I always think about you guys when the high 28 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: ball comes up and go, oh man, that's too much pressure. 29 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: Yeah it is. I guess it's your job and the 30 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: BUC three to make sure that we look after those 31 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: high balls. And I guess you know that's a source 32 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: of possession trust to attack office where we're able to 33 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: secure it and do our job there. So it's obviously 34 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: a very important job for the team. Hopefully they can 35 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: have a bit of success there again this weekend. 36 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: It's also an exciting time for rugby because the All 37 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: Blacks are floundering a little so South Africa are the 38 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: world champs. It's the order is changing really. 39 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're kind of seeing the emergence or 40 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: a lot of the northern Hemstree teams been playing some 41 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: really good rugby as well. So Iland beat New Zealand 42 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: the series on New Zealand Soil and France has got 43 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: a really good team, young team that really had some 44 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: good wins over the past couple of years as well, 45 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: and then Obviously the Southern Hemisphere teams have historically been 46 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: pretty strong as well, so it's great for world rugby 47 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: that there's a lot of competition in the top ten. 48 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: Anyone can be anyone on that day, so. 49 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes it very exciting. You've been called Australia's 50 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: Swiss Army knife in this championship. You're a man for 51 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: all seasons and good at all of them. I'm not 52 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: sure happy to be that little pick that gets the 53 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: stages out of the horses hoofs. 54 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I've spoken a lot about in the 55 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: past and was happy to play where the team needs 56 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: in weeks a week and yeah, I guess anytime you 57 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: get to pall on the gold jersey and in the 58 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 1: national anthem bit a privilege. So yeah, hopefully we can 59 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: have smiles on our face at the end of the 60 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: game on Saturday night. 61 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 3: Well I'll know this next time I'm riding a horse. 62 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 3: I thought that was just for picking your teeth. 63 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 2: No, apparently traditionally it is to get the starf out 64 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: of the horses. 65 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: Shoes with that little little pick a horse. 66 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: I don't think it used to be plastic. I think 67 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: it probably used to be more durable, but that's by 68 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 2: the bye. Do you, Reese, have a lot of prep. 69 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 2: Do you have special good like undies? What's your ritual? 70 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: I'm not too superstitious. Compared to the few of the 71 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: boys in the team. There's always guys little rituals that 72 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: actually go through on game day to you be mentally 73 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: ready to go. But I'm pretty chill heading into the game. 74 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: I don't really have too many subsitions. 75 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: I'd certainly say you don't have a good luck shirt 76 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 3: because all of the pictures of the Amanda's got on her 77 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 3: desktop in her computer stopping to have your shirt. 78 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: Stop it, Brendon, stop it to kill you to wear 79 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: a shirt. 80 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to blame the photography away.
