They won in the last 46 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: line out plays line out of the game and it 47 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 3: was crazy. They've stolen it off England at the last 48 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 3: three World Cups. So yeah, obviously this one's in England. 49 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 3: But with all that said, Lenny, why are we doing 50 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 3: this podcast? 51 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: So basically we are sitting here not in England. We 52 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: didn't get picked for the World Cup unfortunately, but that's 53 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: life and you know, kind of processing all of that. 54 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, we're doing this podcast because we love footy, 55 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: we love talking about rugby, we love talking to each other. 56 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: We can probably talk to each other underwater, I try. 57 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, basically we're just doing this podcast to shed 58 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: keep shedding light on women's rugby and it's an incredible 59 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: event coming up and we want to really spotlight the 60 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: Wallaroos and the other rugby teams and the best players 61 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: from around the world. 62 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and like with that, obviously, like you know, it's 63 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 3: a really hard situation that we're both in. I mean, 64 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 3: for me, like I have been in that will who 65 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: is set up for most twelve years. I went to 66 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 3: my first camp in twenty fourteen, so this is the 67 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 3: first luck. This is the first World Cup in nine 68 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: years that haven't been to. So yeah, it's like it's 69 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: a lot to take in, and you know, obviously it's 70 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 3: quite hard, and it's it's hard to deal with all 71 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 3: our mates are over there and you know, having the 72 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 3: time of their lives. But you know, I think it's 73 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 3: you know, positive that we can, I guess, shine a 74 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 3: lot on our mates and the game that. 75 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: We both still love. 76 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: So I guess for you, like this is pretty new, 77 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 3: probably first time being dropped, I guess, or being not picked. 78 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 3: So yeah, listeners, bear with us. 79 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 5: If we get a bit of emotional time to start crying, 80 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 5: it might be a little counseling counseling podcast, but. 81 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 3: No, we just we want to show you guys, you 82 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: know the other side of it as well, Like it 83 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 3: is hard and for the thirty two girls that are there, 84 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 3: there's thirty two that are here that are devastated, and yeah, 85 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 3: but we're still supporting and we want them to win 86 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 3: and we really hope that they do do really well. 87 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're representing all of us in our country, so yeah, yeah, 88 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: we want to put them in as much of the 89 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: spotlight as possible. But yeah, as Horse said, it is 90 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: tough and it has been quite challenging and something I'm 91 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: probably still processing day to day. And a great coach 92 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: one said to me, sometimes the game you love just 93 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: doesn't love you back. 94 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's kind of our vibe right now.

So I've been training, 103 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 3: still training, but I've been training with the new SEVENS girls. 104 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: Which has been really fun. 105 00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: Seven she didn't give me a contract but nah, which 106 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 3: has been really fun. But also I've really put heaps 107 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 3: of energy into my club Rugby with the Rats, and 108 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 3: just like going back to Clubland is so fun and 109 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: so refreshing. Like those girls just love it and it's 110 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 3: different than being in a hyperformance environment, like it's fun, 111 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: like not that that's not but. 112 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 2: Afterwards perform at the pub. 113 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,239 Speaker 5: That's where we performed. 114 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: But speaking of the Rats Grand Final, like obviously you 115 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: won that, the celebrations the club girls are different. But 116 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: I've just got a bit of a question for the listeners. 117 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: Grand final shirts play on, like ordering them before the 118 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: Grand Finals being one and saying twenty twenty five Club Rugby, Like, well, Rats, 119 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: that is a tongue tire. But is that play on 120 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: or is it a bit of arrogance? 121 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 3: I think damned if you do, damned if you don't. 122 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 3: Like I didn't actually know that we were getting those 123 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 3: champions ones, but I mean Bez orders the war tars 124 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 3: ones and the two years didn't order them we didn't win. 125 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, the one year she got just war Tized 126 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Yeah, like it was just like yeah, 127 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: and so it didn't say winners on it. 128 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 5: So I think that we're because of her. But yeah, 129 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 5: I don't know that the club. 130 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 3: Did that, which was it was cool when it's got 131 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: all the years on the back of it. So yeah, 132 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know what they do with 133 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 3: them if you don't win. 134 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess we'll never know. I guess we'll never know. 135 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's obviously what you've been doing in the 136 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: couple of months.

Charlotte Kaslick obviously came 174 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 3: into the team, started the year yep, kind of committed 175 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: to fifteens, played for the Reds. Has played probably. 176 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: Five test matches yep, five test matches. 177 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 3: Wing Sanna played if You're back, yeah, but losing her 178 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: big loss, Yeah, big loss. 179 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: I think just for the high performance aspect of it 180 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: as well. We know Charlotte was just finding her feet 181 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: in the fifteen's game and I think she was really 182 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: going to have that twelve jersey on lockdown. She did 183 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: really well against Canada and that game she started at 184 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: twelve and then obviously scored the first try for the 185 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: Wallaroos against the Black Fans in Wellington, which was really 186 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: great to see, but unfortunately for her injured in the 187 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: lead up to it, which is frustrating, but another opportunity 188 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: for a young girl, Manuel to come in isn't capped 189 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: for the Wallaroos, so exciting for her uncapped Brumby girl 190 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: whose sisters also in the team fight Tala really cool 191 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: experience for both of them to be over there. But 192 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: on positive, our mate may stew may Stewart is back. 193 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 5: She is one try away from being the highest point. 194 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 3: Scorer in Wallu's history. She is the highest try scorer. 195 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 3: You lose Charlotte, you get Maya. I mean they're not 196 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: alike forul like they've been very different players, but may 197 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 3: Steward is a massive inn for this World Cup, I 198 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: think she is going to have a big one. 199 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 5: She's rare and a go. 200 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 3: She's been teeing off at us for the last twelve 201 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: months about you know how badly she wants it, and 202 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: I just think that's a big in for them. 203 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 204 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: Obviously being close mates with Mayo, we see another side 205 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: to her and she is a real professional and she 206 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: really like loves playing rugby for a show and that's 207 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: the team. I think she lifts everyone around her as 208 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: soon as she's back in the team, Like the game 209 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: she played against Wales before they went over to the 210 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: World Cup, first touch, scored a try. Yeah, she's a freaky, 211 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: freaky player and I just think she also off the 212 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: field she brings a lot of confidence to players around her. 213 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, she's someone you always wanted. 214 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 2: You teams, you just can't. You can't buy speed, so 215 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: it's great. You can't shut her, No you can't. 216 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: And then obviously like you've got Caitlin Hols the kid, 217 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: she's finding form. I think at the right time. She 218 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: one of her best games I've seen her play in 219 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: Wallers Jersey was against Wales down and All Sydney, and 220 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: I think for her confidence just to know that she 221 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: can be that starting fullback for the Wallaroos and really 222 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: stamped her mark on the Wallers this year, So I'm. 223 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: Excited for her. 224 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think as well, Like you. 225 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 3: Obviously took her under your wing at tars so those 226 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 3: of you who don't know, the kid was the youngest 227 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 3: ever warta to debut men's or women's and Bella Bella 228 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 3: definitely took her under a wing and has taught her. 229 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 3: Like where do you think that big improvement in her kick, 230 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 3: especially a kicking game, Like she's got a massive boot, 231 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 3: but I guess just her consistency and her knowledge around that, 232 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 3: Like where do you think that has come from? 233 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: I think it's just training, Like honestly, she is a 234 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: natural footy player and she probably didn't put in as 235 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: much like work on her technique and having the right 236 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: ball drop and the consist since he around that. So 237 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: I really think this year she she really honed in 238 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: on that. And like obviously she's got a massive boot, 239 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: but it's you've got to hit it consistently, yeah, consistently, 240 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: otherwise you've got to spray to keep it out on 241 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: the full. Yeah, And we all really know that she's 242 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: she's done that previously, but I think for her she's 243 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: just really gone up another level now that she's out 244 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: of school. She has a lot more time to be 245 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: at training, and yeah, she just loves footy and one 246 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: of those natural freaky footy players. 247 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: So I think as well, one of the big differences 248 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 3: us and is like she's got this massive boot, but 249 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 3: you know she used to, you know, two years ago, 250 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 3: she'd kick one and it would be a rubbish kick 251 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 3: and she would lose her head, you know, and that 252 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 3: was that was it. And I just have That's where 253 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 3: I've seen the most growth with the kid, is like 254 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 3: she can kick a dodgy one and have a smile 255 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 3: on her. 256 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 5: Face and be like soorry girls, you know, and the 257 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 5: next one is. 258 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 3: A fifty twenty two. So I just think that's so 259 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 3: massive for those girls. 260 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 2: And then. 261 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 7: Sammy Wood at half back, yeah, has been obviously Illy 262 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 7: sever or co Jane into ill Sever into Lane, Morgan, 263 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 7: Lane's still there at moment, George Cormick in the mix now, don't. 264 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 2: Forget cheat the twenty seventeen World Cup. 265 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 5: Who can forget? 266 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 3: And I think Sammy Wood's putting some real pressure on Lane, 267 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 3: and I think they compliment each other well the game. 268 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 5: They're different styles of games. 269 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Lane is probably one of the 270 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: best defensive half banks in the world and in my opinion, 271 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, to have Semmi Wood her first start of 272 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: the year, the tempo she brings to the game, her 273 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: kicking game. Yeah, and as you said, I think the 274 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: competition only makes the team better and drives each other forward. 275 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: And I think those two have a really good combo 276 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: moving forward. With Plane's experience and then Sammi Wood's tactical 277 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: side to the game, I think is yeah, going to 278 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: elevate the Wallaroos as well, because it's so handy to 279 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: have just like another person who can kick. We just 280 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: put in little dinks and can see the game in. 281 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 5: That only and that's way when I'm playing. 282 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you have been known to kick a fifty 283 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: to twenty two once in a once every fifties. 284 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 5: So they've got Fantala and Manure as sisters. Over there. 285 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 3: There's also Catalina Mosa who is this is her first 286 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 3: World Cup. She debuted this year.

We had another one so we had Ariana 289 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 3: and Chris Talakai played for the Wallerries and the Wallabies 290 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 3: in the same year, which is just really cool, like 291 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 3: see such successful families, both lack Aldirls and the boys. 292 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 3: And it was really cool to see Beeper down at 293 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 3: Noval with Carlo Tuzano and a few of the other 294 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 3: boys down then supporting them. And I think that that, 295 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 3: you know. 296 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 5: Really helps that want to see each other succeed. 297 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 3: And yeah, I think But for for Kitty, I think 298 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 3: it's really cool to be able to have that I 299 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 3: guess family connection to the Gold Jersey.

But where 388 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 3: about do you think the game is going to be 389 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 3: won on the weekend. 390 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 8: I think we have to come out fast, and yeah, 391 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 8: I think the first half we need to kind of 392 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 8: put them to bed. I think, you know, I think 393 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 8: that they're a team that they kind of they did a. 394 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 4: They played a lot. 395 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 8: I think they're a lot better than I thought that 396 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 8: they would have been. And I say that with a 397 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 8: lot of respect. Like last time we played them, so 398 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 8: I don't think I was expecting them to to put 399 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 8: out their full eighty minute performance that they kind of did, 400 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 8: and I know that the scoreboard didn't kind of reflect that. 401 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 8: But you know, I play club and I've played against 402 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 8: them with a lot of those girls, and I think, 403 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 8: you know, they've had a lot of games in the 404 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 8: in the last few months leading up to this, and 405 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 8: I know, like rugby in the PACIFICA has had a 406 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 8: lot of funding and they've been able to do a 407 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 8: lot more like games with each other, so and that 408 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 8: you can really tell. So yeah, I think the game 409 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 8: they really challenged just around the breakdown last time we 410 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 8: played them, So there's something an area that. 411 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 4: We've kind of tidied up. 412 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 8: But I just think that we need to like, yeah, 413 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 8: just hold onto the ball and possession. Just keep the ball, 414 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 8: and I guess play a bit more of a territory 415 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 8: game and try and like put them down in. 416 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 4: Their end and make them play out. 417 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, just on that. 418 00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: So who do you think is boys have like a 419 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: stand out performance in the tournament? 420 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 2: Like who's one to watch? 421 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: You kind of think from the wallaroes that I think 422 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: will really put their name name on the map. 423 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm really excited to see Boo to Booa.

And yeah, it's good 506 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 3: to get her on. 507 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 5: Those fish slides, fish flop fish flop slides. 508 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 2: They are not playing on it. 509 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: I will say, yeah, slow Cramer, good eggs, lots of experience. 510 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 2: Second World cut. You just want to on your team, 511 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 2: I guess, yeah. 512 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 3: Well, into the actual game on the weekend. So the 513 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 3: Wallerries first game of the World Cup is against Samar 514 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 3: who will be competing at the first World Cup since 515 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 3: twenty fourteen, so they haven't been. 516 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 2: To the two previous World Cups. 517 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 3: The someone Girls' strengths is definitely their physical their physicality, 518 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 3: big physical team. You actually played them in the A. 519 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 5: Game not too long ago, so yeah, I think also, 520 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 5: you know, like what Laura said that when they get 521 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 5: a roll on the really nice, so got to stop them. 522 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 3: A couple of current Super w players JJ Taylor from 523 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 3: the World Tars and Asia from the Brumbies and Anna 524 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 3: from the Force. So a few girls there that are 525 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 3: playing super rugby in Australia that are obviously eligible for 526 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 3: some are So it would be really interesting to see 527 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 3: those girls come up against you know, well we don't 528 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: know who's picked Jet, but you know JJ and An 529 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 3: are both playing the second row, and they've both been 530 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 3: at the Tars playing against Caitlin Leanie and Annabel Cody 531 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 3: and you know Chance and these girls in that second 532 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 3: row back bro contingent, So yeah, it'd be cool to 533 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 3: see them whack each other and maybe little jersey swap 534 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 3: at the end. But yeah, where do you think where 535 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 3: do you think that game is going to be won 536 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 3: and lost? 537 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: I definitely think if Wallarus can start fast, as Laurie 538 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,959 Speaker 1: was saying, put a few points on them early. I 539 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: think they'll just run away with it in the second half. 540 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: But yeah, like like you guys have said, some More 541 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: is a big physical team and they're not going to 542 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: go away. The World Cup's are different gravy. But you 543 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: obviously verse them in the game and they were very 544 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: physical then and I think at halftime the score was 545 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: only maybe nineteen to five. So yeah, you really want 546 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: to start start fast against some More because they are 547 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: a big, physical team and they can stick with it 548 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: for the eighty minutes. We've seen They've had a lot 549 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: more games this year, a better lead up into it, 550 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's honestly, it's a World Cup. 551 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: Anything can happen. 552 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, if Walleries start fast and get some early 553 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: points on I think the game probably one at the 554 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: end of the first half or start of the second. 555 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, you can watch that game on Saturday, twenty 556 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: second of August at nine pm on stand and the 557 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: nine Network. 558 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, make sure you get that on your TVs. It'll 559 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 3: be it'll be awesome game. First game of the World Cup. 560 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 3: It's massive for the players and even though you might 561 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 3: not think it. They definitely feel your support from back here, 562 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 3: like when you see the TV numbers or when you 563 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 3: see people on Instagram with their kids in front of 564 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 3: the TV, like it boosts you so much to know 565 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 3: that everyone's watching. 566 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 5: So make sure you chuck that. 567 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 3: On the other game of the round, I think, well, 568 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 3: we think is England versus USA, which is at four 569 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 3: thirty am on Sunday morning, Game of the World Sorry 570 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 3: that morning, which is also on stand which is I 571 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 3: think it's sold out forty thousand. 572 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 2: I think it's sold tickets answers. 573 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 3: It's going to be massive. Also, is going to be 574 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 3: a really. 575 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: Tough physical game. 576 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 5: Battle of the front row. England have Sarah. 577 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 3: Burn Maud Muir who are just like wrecking rules essentially, 578 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 3: and then Hope Rogers for America. It's a fourth World Cup, 579 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 3: which is crazy. She's only got better with age, like 580 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 3: a fine wine, that woman. And I just think that 581 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 3: those those few plus like Amy Cocaines plus plus those girls, 582 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 3: there's just those that pack up front. I just think 583 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 3: it's going to be a battle. 584 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 2: Why is it. 585 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: Do you think props really come into their prime in 586 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: their thirties. 587 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. 588 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: IM well, no, but Like I've said this before, I 589 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: think props really come into their prime in their thirties. 590 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 8: Is it. 591 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 5: I think there's just so much to learn. 592 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 2: The technique of the scrum. 593 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 3: There's so much technicality in the front row like in 594 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 3: the scrum and the lineup with a lot in the scrum. 595 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 3: It's very it's complex, like it's it's it's not and 596 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: it is. But there's just so much technique to learn, 597 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 3: and you kind of focusing so much on that that 598 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 3: I feel like when you get older and you've got 599 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 3: that downpack, you can concentrate on other areas of your game, 600 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 3: like maybe a ball running or maybe a power and speed, 601 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 3: But at the start, you're just kind of learning so 602 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 3: much about the scrum and. 603 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 5: Set peace, which is so important. 604 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 7: But yeah, definitely, it will be interesting to see how 605 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 7: USA goes. 606 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, Australia's versus them a couple of times in the 607 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: last two years three years with Pack fours and World 608 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: exp as well. So yeah, it's I think we're two 609 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: and two, so two wins, two losses. 610 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and for. 611 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 5: Them, England's on a twenty seven game winning streak. 612 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't lost since the final of the last 613 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: World Cup. How would you, like, is that pressure or 614 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: is that just like I don't know, Like, would you Yeah, 615 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: if I was them, would I have wanted to have 616 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: a loss or was the hurt of that World Cup final? 617 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,959 Speaker 1: Losing that World Cup finals so hard that they were 618 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: like I never want to feel this pain again and 619 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: haven't lost since. 620 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. 621 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it's tough to know, but it's it's 622 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 3: a big kind of not a voodoo. But like, if 623 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 3: they can get past that, I think the pretty red 624 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 3: hot favorites for this World Cup. 625 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 5: Obviously at home, I think what the Lionesses have just done.

They also haven't won a game 640 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 1: since they beat Australia last year and. 641 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 5: Packed for USA. 642 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Usa, or did they beat Japan reason I can't remember, 643 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 2: but I'm pretty sure I had. 644 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 3: The USA coach one of our old coaches at last 645 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 3: World Cups.
