00:09:21and pushing forward great footwork from frankie horn to keep calm under pressure that's what it's
00:09:41all about
00:09:43chris smith can you fade it
00:09:50bit of belief in this lions team they were crowned the urc south african shield champions
00:09:56last year even for ruin was african urc coach of the season can they get the fans back 10-bit
00:10:06ellis
00:10:06park and it's intriguing because it's this is you know this is ready ball this is exactly the all
00:10:12blacks ready rugby that they want to play high tempo repeated involvement forcing backs interchanging
00:10:17rather than playing in rigid pods that's exactly what the 10-bit lines have executed here now time
00:10:23in time again never mind the absorption of pressure hey hey boys boys pressure kick not finding touch
00:10:31forward and barrett richard mwanga management there thank you oh that's counter first time tackles made by the

00:11:06are over
00:11:11the experience ricky iwani
00:11:20he's class
00:11:23almost at 90 caps now for the all blacks ricko iwani if he receives the ball against the defense
00:11:28that isn't square you're already solving a very difficult problem here now he's getting his
00:11:33natural running his change of pace his offloading game excellent from the outside center you're only again
00:11:41you have a big concern for the lions defensive coach up for each every look at that how much space
00:11:47and how numbered there were the lions
00:11:51almost five to five versus two
00:11:58which is
00:12:03good looking kick it's over
00:12:12yeah so good again it's the shape look at the options all blacks options

00:12:21need it defense not connected enough
00:12:25it's come back started but
00:12:28well look we're gonna start with the 50 50 minute mark remember it was 14 all against the stormers
00:12:35the 55th minute is where things really started to change
00:12:40what the 10 bed lions have here now though scoreboard pressure and repeated effort talk about pressure
00:12:47power another cover cover why randy goes and keeps going brilliant presentation keep the flow satiti
00:12:57punches the lions defense
00:13:05the
00:13:05advantage for the lions have they done enough yeah he's got it nickel stands got it that's good
00:13:12Hush it stays on his feet the counter from the all-blacks
00:13:18turn over good right from the on-side position Andrews that is a quality team
00:13:26PJ Porter just in time Frankie Horn
00:13:31okay use it please good ease the two times all you like options of Q and
00:13:37Nicole Steyn to kick from the base Steyn into touch
00:13:46so useful so useful having a technician like Nicole Steyn at the base of your
00:13:52rack replacements oh big hits there get off of me one of this outstanding players
00:13:57in this all-black side to monkey Tava Tava now why oh he's great to watch but
00:14:03again it's Chris Smith who makes the important tackle okay yep come back on
00:14:09what a steal Nicole Steyn the commitment a couple of tight five players they're
00:14:13trying to get him off take him back in
00:14:18Bombscott coming on for the lines and changes morning Brandon really
00:14:23the contribution of the valuable found side
00:14:29longer
00:14:33often into that short side talk I hall
00:14:40trees have said day push back points it's real good read just partner Patrick to
00:14:46to Lotto the bounce it's got backwards to pick up top class there's a knock on
00:14:53spotted sorry thank you French when they up the gear change they find space the
00:15:02fastest thing yeah if you're the Lions the scoreboard is exactly you want where
00:15:08you wanted it to be right now comes the difficulty on staying there and the
00:15:12all-blacks will start looking at your weaknesses and turn the screws in those
00:15:15areas they found some opportunities in the backs we've seen the 10 bit lines
00:15:22have made some substitutions here now I think that's the right call it's good to
00:15:26go but with how good they've been with they said please I didn't say they've got
00:15:30the upper hand with their set piece but what a stormer he's having game of his
00:15:35life Sibama ashe okay you guys good to go
00:15:41defense has to do you go with God kind of three players with over 100 meters made it's just too
00:15:48easy in the wider channels and it will get easier as we get closer to that 60 meter minute mark
00:15:55okay keep the space on the side please okay keep the space break foot one printer
00:16:00just come on first game for the Lions 10 test matches for South Africa one try okay time back on
00:16:09faced the
00:16:10all-blacks even talked last year bind the rugby championship set with Edinburgh for the bright lights of
00:16:19Janice play okay use it please one center stay Smith using the boot can he draw the
00:16:28all-blacks back and they're on half with the safety of the Trinity Boat and Barrett
00:16:33right good thank you
00:16:37not too many options for the 35 year old who finds touch that did so well to find touch as
00:16:43well just
00:16:43look so calm looks made it look so easy that banana kick actually hit it the perfect position on that
00:16:49rugby ball and also give it the exact amount of weight so it doesn't spin out considering the pressure on
00:16:56okay just hold just hold lines 9 lines 9 lines 9 you're off well played thank you
00:17:07change let's scrum off Nico stay voice thank you come all I see Pete
00:17:16more impressive scrum off as Brandon Andrews off the top
00:17:20I see Pete long pass out wide for Crania he's outnumbered defensively
00:17:49three on one constant field give up the ball give up the ball ball's life that you can't throw it
00:17:56into
00:17:57yeah he'll be frustrated with himself right wrong decision there from Eric Crania I think it came
00:18:04on earlier fudge the long pass out wide it touched the loopy toss from you threw it into the line
00:18:09play
00:18:09can't go quick yeah you've got to start to wonder as well or when they'll start using that hotline
00:18:15Siba Maharsha keeps coming on allowing this scum off an extra option there every single time it's
00:18:24gone behind his back can you ask some different questions and here comes the cavalry now once the
00:18:30New Zealand bench arrives comes the second examination he's even they've repeatedly found
00:18:34another gear when they've gone to the bench this is the true test now for the 10 red lines
00:18:49it's a piece yeah the TT makes the toss contribution from the experience lacai Peter lacai okay stay on
00:18:57here please come on let's go off access access is good

00:19:34the line
00:19:36second one off the evening committed committed yeah in real time for me committed yeah he'll keep
00:19:45punishing you you can see what they're trying to do here now I don't think iron andrews is in the
00:19:49right position they're now flat-footed on his outside is kill andrews is only option should be a
00:19:54forward coming short if not kill needs to give him that option but they're shifting the hot potato and the
00:19:59problem and easy pickings for your army back to a four-point game 10 bet in his fault jam no
00:20:15look
00:20:15past angle fun breaks trying to use the ball he's also got his eyes on where the balls coming from

00:20:39oh there he is born a stain there's a chris smith mornay stain-esque about him he's got a fantastic
00:20:45record against the all blacks and it takes getting your conversions right making sure you're playing
00:20:49what's in front of you you did it so well for the spring box christmas doing it right here tonight

00:21:48the calvary akai preston seen the picture before i mean 139 points against the all blacks you know it's
00:21:57so impressive and for me it is the style of play controlling the game really nicely using the
00:22:03options around you nothing flashy nothing fancy as you mentioned about chris smith just what the doctor
00:22:07ordered peter and a bit of pressure keeps it alive sakani gets man and ball
00:22:19somehow gets the lions back on that front foot there's a but of the car charged now
00:22:27q on horn get the left boot right the traits gonna get the lion inside it's done so successful

00:22:53i've experienced a bow to barrett showing up in the splash against the lions long pass out wide
00:23:12so we've seen this movie before oh and on this to a competitor for long periods then suddenly new
00:23:17zealand find two scores in very little time the crowd will be so important to get behind the 10 red
00:23:22lions here now what a historic moment this is for the stadium for the fans for the players let's take
00:23:28a
00:23:28look at some of the players really putting up their hand battle shakani frankie horn siva mahash and
00:23:33q and horn and cornea some of the players aren't your usual heroes right they're giving the fans
00:23:39something to talk about which is fantastic but now is when they dig deep we're almost at that 60th minute
00:23:45and we're starting to see the all blacks remember at altitude we spoke to jeff wilson earlier in the
00:23:51week he mentions altitude visiting it wasn't easy yeah part of that 1996 team that tread
00:23:58affected by sean fitzpatrick injury by legend hooker of uh all blacks break foot lines break looks back
00:24:10same for new zealand that's really got to be sharp now last 20 minutes in your offseason
00:24:16concentration is key for the home team for the all-blasts can they remain unbeaten on their serve can
00:24:24join the break from satiti kill competes on the ground kill has won the turnover
00:24:32not for me
00:24:35you gotta lift on the ball yeah you always knew which is kill remember he said if you adjust it
00:24:41back
00:24:41half that he was going to be in the floor he has a big midfield assignment here tonight and again
00:24:46it's
00:24:46that hustle for me he knows there will be opportunities like that the type of rugby the all blacks are
00:24:51playing
00:24:51it's loose you can make your tackle good technician coming around first yeah you spot the backlash
00:24:57plan richard creole as he got they started looking at who's coming to it it's not easy yeah

00:30:54this game all of a sudden now the all blacks are playing all day right you guys step straight up
00:30:58in
00:30:58the green zone right here this is well worked easy penalty given away there by the 10th red lions
00:31:04is kicking game in the wider channels not being tackled then kicking it forward putting pressure on the
00:31:09lions big time one point in it line art is good pressure on the home team bradley slater slater
00:31:20who's got the ball now could this be turned over yes it is
00:31:29never give up effort defensively by the home team
00:31:38massive massive battle one massive celebration they've got the right
00:31:42characters on the pitch here now jason pretoria school booze on our chair what a massive game for
00:31:47not check being back here
00:31:50and it's their talks type of game as well especially the way the all blacks are playing
00:31:54i don't think we'll see much difference in the way they play they'll try to play in the right areas
00:31:59but you're trying to play counter attack rugby which is the best way to punish the all blacks
00:32:04not check jason pretorius okay let's get the right horses for courses thank you first game for school
00:32:10booze at no check moving the white and great jersey of the lions

00:32:39yeah reset guys potential to be a future star yeah oh yeah look at the turf at the back
00:32:44performed brandy last year's gina walker we do a bit of gardening here very instrumental
00:32:48the victory just so i see the gina box shifted across back to back
00:32:56pardon me yeah 100 100 100 okay
00:33:05okay same again guys let's keep that height up inside high school

00:33:39number one easy easy
00:33:41hey hey hey easy easy
00:33:43can be welcome penalty for the lions
00:33:45we're going from ruin number one chance to elbow down the floor
00:33:50i believe the pressure because all blacks are really up the end to the bench has come on
00:34:01that's a massive test this for siali lawaki looks like you'll be going into the deep
00:34:09parts of this game here deep waters at altitude here is here the loose head
00:34:14up against tabazimbi aref skuman and just slips there so it's unfortunate for the loose head but
00:34:21massive opportunity for the 10-bed lions now to crawl themselves back into this game how do they
00:34:27do that hold on to the ball a little bit try to find some energy from your new substitutions on
00:34:32the pitch not chance victorious so yeah because we're outside outside the 50. it's good to see
00:34:37they've called a short line out here as well good contest to have to back take him back in
00:34:46notch at the half gap with the notch it was indeed damn over the top managed by the all-blacks
00:34:54no real
00:34:54pressure turn over is good ball is out lakai peter lakai has won it back to the all-blacks preston
00:35:05black at us pass sticks to titi to bone and enter nana brown you want it back in field ricky

00:35:26down like that 21 kicker boys interested
00:35:34i've got to find touch here the line slow it down chance to rumble it up with some fresh legs
00:35:39on
00:35:40brendan mornay 21 advancing mornay brendan and juan fenter
00:35:45no 100 percent hashim pede as well let's see how shim pede more inside the all-blacks half get some
00:35:51positive rugby build some phases get to that golden thread that fourth or fifth phase where you can
00:35:56start asking some good questions it's now or never big moment in this fixture here now for the one the
00:36:0210-bit lions you can see what the all-blacks are trying to just shift it wide and then keep
00:36:06the
00:36:06lions turning back great read by mahasha come across guys frustrating for the all-blacks across
00:36:14it's coming out turn it to an armrestle fudger i'd go for the driving more try to melt the panel
00:36:20to keep
00:36:20going chance maybe to kick the goal yeah tough tough shift there for seani lawaki but he'll learn from
00:36:30this just like all the players on the pitch and massive opportunities for the all-blacks to get into
00:36:34that 23 for the test against the springbox to get the bull back the lines some miscommunication put
00:36:43the chamberlain number 22. brandon brandon creel jc tutorius must be knocked on by the all-blacks
00:37:00touch touches the core first
00:37:19the placement lines 13 just hold the hold the ball in front there yeah just
00:37:26well if that is henko van weg coming off now so what a game yeah time's off just hold him
00:37:31just
00:37:31hold him really good game from van weg he's switching positions then and put the chamberlain
00:37:37will come onto the pitch okay inside guys
00:37:43not mistaken looks like horn has shifted to wing
00:37:47it's clean yet outside center good contest chamberlain fullback hold hold okay over now
00:37:58slayton control yeah yeah out now yep lions got to stay in the contest don't give away a penalty
00:38:09the kite first receiver until leon brown makes the decision to go straight into the lines defense
00:38:14putting them under pressure force them to make decisions oh the magic

00:40:20all-blacks half we can see the all-blacks through that cal preston up and under that box they're
00:40:25trying to get back into the lions half but these fans don't make sure they celebrate every single
00:40:30positive and you've got and in fact it's been a big surprise nobody expected it
00:40:34lions have been underperforming last couple of seasons it's only last year where they made it to
00:40:39the playoff of the view of the protocol urc for the very first time
00:40:43looks like that belief that confidence the signing some fresh players one friend to join the line you

00:42:00questions why can't you do it more you've actually got um who's richie you've got the option you've
00:42:07got a scrum here for um obviously the scrum infringement or did you say back line was
00:42:12offside as well okay so you've got one just options just five meters forward in here
00:42:20okay sorry yeah this is the right choice for richie monga and his troops
00:42:28dig deeper get them further back against the ropes
00:42:33just can't take your eyes off of moonga it's brilliant look at that that's just attitude that
00:42:39is just attitude they wanted to attack that scrum and that's what makes the all-blacks so special
00:42:43it's excellent work there from chunga farsi
00:42:47lumia as well late inclusion in this side but that's what it's all about picking your moments and
00:42:53making sure that the championship moments fall your way on the attack the all-blacks hold line out on
00:42:59the 22 that's one strategy slater lions packer forwards and roller skates need to bounce back

00:43:30yeah
00:43:33oh under the pump the lines
00:43:38all black showing their class until leonard brown
00:43:44got to get the right timing is jamie hannah takes up put pressure lines defensive line black
00:43:50Hanna has a go, the strike runners on the outside are waiting, what decision will they make, they'll keep it
00:44:01up front, to the corner forwards, La Kai, 5 metres out, Hanna, Kriel backs out, they need numbers out wide,
00:44:14they've always found space, long pass, over the top, and Bowdoin Barrett can't handle it,
00:44:20another pass from Ricky Owani, it's in front of the mark, okay, I haven't got anything there, what was their
00:44:30hand in there, it's alright, we'll just slow it down, yeah, I don't have anything, I was in, okay, could
00:44:36be a penalty of trouble for the Lions, no it's not, it was in front of the mark, I can't
00:44:40go fast, okay Brett, I don't have anything there mate, yeah, yeah, he's got no clear footage either, so,
00:44:48it's this pass here, and the intercept attempt from Buddha Chamberlain, we don't have anything clear, okay, Jackson, I don't
00:44:54touch it, okay, it's a knock on only, okay, yeah, it's a knock on only, it's a genuine attempt, yeah,
00:45:01two hands, hasn't had the best evening Bowdoin Barrett, yeah, genuine attempt, consider what we're used to seeing from, yeah,
00:45:07sure, yeah, incredible, 144 capped, all black, 145 tonight, Bowdoin Barrett,
00:45:13oh, Fudge, you showed us some, some great show, real skill set, one-handed catch, kicked through, is it a
00:45:18brilliantly, 35, it's the seniors, you need that, so you set, you set, you set, you set, you know what
00:45:24you got in, if you're needing for the test match, you know exactly what you got, I think it's perfectly,
00:45:29yeah, okay, fitting in the team, the transfer of, also, knowledge,
00:45:34he's been around the block, I thought he's steady, steady evening, for the Bowdoin Barrett, same as Rikio Arnie, if
00:45:41you needed them on the outside centre on Saturday, Anton Leonard Drown, the phone call away,
00:45:45and you go there, okay, yeah, massive positive for Dave Rennie, seniors, don't shift, okay, thank you, really have put
00:45:53up their hands, don't change, and they would have invited this challenge,
00:45:56you help him out, excuse me, you just help him out,
00:46:02Hyron Andrews, Rowan Delfort, hit the heaviest, look forward, they really need to knock on,
00:46:08darn out, and really support Brandon Fenton, school,
00:46:12go, crouch,
00:46:15Bide,
00:46:19set,
00:46:21I don't know,
00:46:22forcing that engagement, but the second shovel, coming out from the All Blacks,
00:46:26advantage,
00:46:27and a penalty advantage,
00:46:29one point in it,
00:46:31Lakai picks up at the base,
00:46:35JC Pretorius with a stop,
00:46:36Preston's passes, Chris,
00:46:37soft hands for Jacob,
00:46:39over the top,
00:46:40and is now,
00:46:41Rawa,
00:46:43gets over,
00:46:47patience,
00:46:48power,
00:46:49you really had to work hard at that,
00:46:51Imani,
00:46:52Rawa,
00:46:55Lions,
00:46:59will be gutted,
00:47:01what an effort,
00:47:03but the class of the All Black,
00:47:06prevails at the end of the evening on a Tuesday night fudge,
00:47:09yeah,
00:47:10and it's those wider channels again,
00:47:11Narawa does well to cut back inside,
00:47:13but the desperation from the Lions,
00:47:15overfolding,
00:47:16shifting over,
00:47:18steps about three Lions players,
00:47:20one, two, three, four,
00:47:21of them,
00:47:22you can see it's the desperation,
00:47:23look at the work from Nautje,
00:47:25cross covering from that run,
00:47:27too little,
00:47:27too late though,
00:47:29all-star in the scrum,
00:47:31two powerful scrums from the All Blacks,
00:47:33the Lions tied five,
00:47:36said,
00:47:37with Hiran Andrews,
00:47:38everyone dealt with,
00:47:39just don't have the weight,
00:47:40when the West days,
00:47:41and Rich Mwongo with the conversion,
00:47:44it stays out wide,
00:47:48the story remains,
00:47:50the All Blacks,
00:47:51another victory,
00:47:53unbeaten,
00:47:54for the South African Tour,
00:47:57three more test matches,
00:47:58two in South Africa,
00:47:59one in the United States,
00:48:02for the 10-bed Lions,
00:48:05they'll go back to this clash,
00:48:07and think of the possibilities,
00:48:10what they can achieve,
00:48:1221 points to 17 at half time,
00:48:15lots of Yastas putting their hands up,
00:48:17in terms of the future,
00:48:19first of my better,
00:48:21another class act,
00:48:22by the mighty All Blacks,
00:48:24yeah,
00:48:24oh and wow,
00:48:25what a privilege,
00:48:26what a pleasure,
00:48:26what an honour,
00:48:27to be out here,
00:48:27Q and Horn,
00:48:28eight carries,
00:48:29132 metres made,
00:48:31Maharshan,
00:48:31Legani,
00:48:32every single player,
00:48:33in this 10-bed Lions side,
00:48:35can be proud of himself,
00:48:36for me there are no losers,
00:48:37in a game like this,
00:48:38for New Zealand,
00:48:39I guess in the bigger picture,
00:48:40the biggest success for them,
00:48:41they've tested their depth,
00:48:43every single player,
00:48:43has had a bit of time,
00:48:44to decide,
00:48:47well there's the decision,
00:48:48All Blacks,
00:48:497 tries against the Lions 5,
00:48:5141 points to 31,
00:48:53unbeaten,
00:48:53on the SA trip,
00:49:01well Steyn,
00:49:02kicks over the top,
00:49:03and then chase,
00:49:04and this is the start,
00:49:04at the second half,
00:49:05Krenier,
00:49:06brilliant in the air,
00:49:07and the pace,
00:49:08look at that,
00:49:08from Maharshan,
00:49:10ball in the right hand,
00:49:11fends off,
00:49:11keeps it alive,
00:49:13and Krenier,
00:49:14will always chase,
00:49:15makes even the most,
00:49:16average kicks look good,
00:49:18and that was the first score,
00:49:19in the second half,
00:49:20yeah,
00:49:21this is when,
00:49:21the 10-bet Lions,
00:49:23had a little bit of ascension,
00:49:24with their scrums,
00:49:25just imagine,
00:49:26a game on two halves,
00:49:27this is how the All Blacks,
00:49:28finished off,
00:49:29but this is how,
00:49:30the dominance,
00:49:32set piece dominance,
00:49:33started,
00:49:33and continued,
00:49:34in that first half,
00:49:35for the 10-bet Lions,
00:49:38they responded,
00:49:39rightly so,
00:49:40they did,
00:49:41Ioane,
00:49:42was brilliant,
00:49:45onto the left hand side,
00:49:47sees the gap,
00:49:48the mismatch,
00:49:49shows the dummy,
00:49:50from then on,
00:49:51nobody will stop him,
00:49:52that's a good,
00:49:5240 meter sprint,
00:49:54from Ricky Ioane,
00:49:55this,
00:49:56got them,
00:49:57back in the game,
00:49:58in the second half,
00:49:59yeah,
00:50:00there's the battering ram,

00:50:02doing really well,
00:50:03setting the target nicely,
00:50:05Eric Krenier,
00:50:06for me,
00:50:06sitting ducks here now,
00:50:07there it is,
00:50:08he started reading the book,
00:50:09with his first try,
00:50:10this was his second,
00:50:11too much pace,
00:50:12for Kuhan Horn,
00:50:13and well,

00:50:44that was after a dominant scrum,
00:50:46the front row,
00:50:47just pushing through,
00:50:48making sure the engagement,
00:50:49they've got front foot,

00:51:57so the message from the coach,
00:51:58was just to express ourselves,
00:51:59and have fun,
00:52:00and play as a team,
00:52:01how did you find it,
00:52:02how did you find it out there,
00:52:03I think the crowd,
00:52:04is pretty pleased,
00:52:05of the effort you guys put out,
00:52:07yeah definitely,
00:52:09like we said,
00:52:10at the beginning of the week,
00:52:10we're going to fight fire with fire,
00:52:12we knew they're going to bring it,
00:52:13tempo wise,
00:52:14and we just had to match their tempo,
00:52:15even go beyond that,
00:52:16but the result,
00:52:17was not on our side today,
00:52:18take it to the deep waters,
00:52:19how does it feel then,
00:52:20when it's the 60th minute,
00:52:2170th minute,
00:52:22this All Black side,
00:52:23with the quick ball,
00:52:24that they're getting,
00:52:25how does it feel out there,
00:52:26obviously it's tough,
00:52:27we knew it's going to be tough,
00:52:29we would have liked,
00:52:30to slow down the ball more today,
00:52:32but unfortunately,
00:52:32we couldn't at times,
00:52:34but yeah,
00:52:34I mean,
00:52:35playing against the All Blacks,
00:52:36if you don't slow down the ball,

00:55:10yeah,
00:55:10really tough game,
00:55:11that,
00:55:12the Lions really brought it to us,
00:55:13they pressured us,
00:55:15right from the start,
00:55:16and sort of on the back foot,
00:55:18a lot of discipline,
00:55:18and a few penalties there,
00:55:20and they managed to capitalize,
00:55:21so,
00:55:21so,
00:55:22yeah,
00:55:22a very,
00:55:22very tough game for us,
00:55:24and I'm happy,
00:55:25we got there in the end,
00:55:26but,
00:55:26I think credit to a good Lions team,
00:55:28who made us really work hard,
00:55:29talk about this group,
00:55:30I mean,
00:55:31you had to grind that one out,
00:55:32what has been the messaging,
00:55:34coming into the field,
00:55:35and everyone sort of,
00:55:36talking it up?
00:55:37Yeah,
00:55:37I mean,
00:55:38obviously different squad,
00:55:39to the test squad,
00:55:40we've had a few,
00:55:41young guys,
00:55:42who have only had,
00:55:43maybe one or two games,
00:55:44and we've got a debut tonight,
00:55:46so,
00:55:46for a lot of those guys,
00:55:47a new experience,
00:55:48in terms of playing here,
00:55:49in South Africa,
00:55:50against the,
00:55:51a different side,
00:55:52who they haven't played before,
00:55:54so,
00:55:54but we'll take the learnings,
00:55:56it's a bit of an occasion,
00:55:58I think,
00:55:58to play for club sides,
00:56:00here in South Africa,
00:56:01has been really good for us,
00:56:02it's like I said,
00:56:03it's something different,
00:56:04but,
00:56:04I think for us,
00:56:05we played tonight,
00:56:07we got pushed,
00:56:08pushed to the limits,
00:56:09and,
00:56:09I think the Lions can be very proud,
00:56:11of the effort.
00:56:11How good is it for momentum,
00:56:13winning,
00:56:14and just the competition,
00:56:16within the squad,
00:56:17and especially looking up to,
00:56:19Saturday?
00:56:20Yeah,
00:56:20I think,
00:56:21that's the great thing,
00:56:22about this tour,
00:56:24sort of,
00:56:24don't have to wait long,
00:56:25until another game,
00:56:26so,
00:56:26I think,
00:56:28our test side,
00:56:29who won on Saturday,
00:56:29did an awesome job,
00:56:30and,
00:56:31that energy flowed through,
00:56:33and,
00:56:33obviously two days,
00:56:34three days,
00:56:34to,
00:56:35again,
00:56:35to play the Lions,
00:56:36so,
00:56:36again,
00:56:37we'll,
00:56:37rest and recuperate,
00:56:38and look forward,
00:56:39for another couple days,
00:56:40to get ready for,
00:56:41South Africa test two,
00:56:44I think for the guys,
00:56:45who played tonight,
00:56:45it was another chance,
00:56:46to try and put their hand up,
00:56:47to make the test squad,
00:56:48so,
00:56:49wait and see how that goes,

00:57:41the cast on the double,
00:57:42multiple greatest,
00:57:42rivalry tour,
00:57:43ended with a bang,
00:57:45it was a fight,
00:57:46until the very end,
00:57:47what an incredible moment,
00:57:48to be able to see,
00:57:50the New Zealand players,
00:57:51alongside,
00:57:52the 10 bit,

00:58:01to 35,
00:58:02that was the final score,
00:58:04a fight,
00:58:04until that very end,
00:58:06alongside me,
00:58:07Asalak,
00:58:07Khumani Baba,
00:58:08and John de Villiers,
00:58:09Boves,
00:58:09I'll start with you,
00:58:11we asked the Lions,
00:58:12to roar,
00:58:12and they roared loud,
00:58:14yeah,
00:58:14no,
00:58:14they went out,
00:58:15and the one thing,
00:58:17it was a 12th try,
00:58:18thriller,
00:58:19on a Tuesday night,
00:58:22Lions,
00:58:23brought it,
00:58:23with their physicality,
00:58:24I thought the second half,
00:58:25the way that they started,
00:58:27that second half,
00:58:28exactly what you wanted,
00:58:29and then the All Blacks,
00:58:31just,
00:58:31they can't stop running,
00:58:33right?
00:58:33So, yeah,
00:58:33I mean,
00:58:34John de Villiers,
00:58:35it was incredible,
00:58:36to see that fight,
00:58:37from a side,
00:58:37that says they're so far,
00:58:39out of preseason,
00:58:39but they really,
00:58:40played with heart.
00:58:41The way they started,
00:58:42the first half,
00:58:42the way they started,
00:58:43the second half,
00:58:44you know,
00:58:44that gave them the energy,
00:58:46towards the end,
00:58:46they ran out of puff,
00:58:48but I think they can be,
00:58:49extremely proud,
00:58:50of that performance,
00:58:51being able to score,
00:58:52the five tries,
00:58:53knowing that,
00:58:54they could have won this game,
00:58:55that is what will keep them,
00:58:57up at night,
00:58:57unfortunately.
00:58:58Absolutely,
00:58:59well,
00:59:00we asked for the unions,
00:59:01to be incredible,
00:59:02but there were so many,
00:59:03incredible moments,
00:59:03the castle double,
00:59:04bolt smooth moment,
00:59:05of the match.
00:59:17need to roll away,
00:59:18or stays it,
00:59:19that's available.
00:59:20Ball was lifted there,
00:59:22timing was good.
00:59:24And a bit of,
00:59:24it's one and one,
00:59:25the switch,
00:59:26experience not quite,
00:59:27their desperate,
00:59:28yeah,
00:59:29we're gonna go for an HIA,
00:59:30on number four.
00:59:49Yeah,
00:59:49well,
00:59:50we have seen,
00:59:50some incredible moments,
00:59:51that's the smoothest moment,
00:59:53of them all,
00:59:54tonight.
00:59:54I mean,
00:59:54gentlemen,
00:59:55we want to,
00:59:56we want to touch on,
00:59:56on the 10-bet,
00:59:58or 10-bet lines,
00:59:59because,
01:00:00we spoke about,
01:00:01you know,
01:00:01staying in the fight,
01:00:02until the very last moment,
01:00:04Bobes,
01:00:04yes,
01:00:05they ran out of puff,
01:00:05but,
01:00:06you can't fault the effort,
01:00:07and you can't fault,
01:00:08you know,
01:00:09the moments that they created,
01:00:10for themselves in this match.
01:00:12I just love the attitude,
01:00:13of what,
01:00:14speaking to Siba,
01:00:15after that,
01:00:16saying that,
01:00:17they just wanted to make sure,
01:00:18they can enhance their reputation.
01:00:21Yeah.
01:00:21I think another thing,
01:00:22that's more about,
01:00:23them believing in these systems,
01:00:25and how they're going about it,
01:00:27it shows you that,
01:00:28it's starting to work,
01:00:29and these players have got the bite,
01:00:30and the bite into it.
01:00:32And it's from the start,
01:00:33I mean,
01:00:33you see how,
01:00:34how enthused,
01:00:35those two players,
01:00:37coming around the corner,
01:00:38opens up for Nick Hustain,
01:00:40but then,
01:00:42Siba Mahashe,
01:00:43is a special player,
01:00:44because he's got the intuition,
01:00:46to the game.
01:00:47It's got good game reading skills,
01:00:48and he just keeps on popping up.
01:00:50Yeah,
01:00:51he had a lovely game,
01:00:52Mahashe,
01:00:53you know,
01:00:53and on all fronts,
01:00:54both sides of the ball,
01:00:56ball in hand,
01:00:57being able to make tackles,
01:00:59you know,
01:00:59having a go at the breakdown,
01:01:00as well,
01:01:01and he's certainly one for the future,
01:01:02such an exciting play,
01:01:04along with,
01:01:04but the future is certainly bright for South Africa,
01:01:08and this moment for this team,
01:01:10and especially these youngsters,
01:01:12you know,
01:01:12the experience of being able to be tested at such a level,
01:01:16you know,
01:01:16that'll only stand them in good stead,
01:01:18so,
01:01:19you know,
01:01:19like I said,
01:01:20unfortunately,
01:01:21they couldn't get the win,
01:01:22but the fight that they put up,
01:01:24and the ability to still score five tries,
01:01:27you know,
01:01:27they can be extremely proud,
01:01:29and as a union,
01:01:30the whole union will be proud of this performance.
01:01:32Bobes,
01:01:32in the lead up to the test match on Saturday,
01:01:34what will,
01:01:35you know,
01:01:35the thinking be for the management of the all-black side,
01:01:38moments they might need to look to improve on?
01:01:40I mean,
01:01:41they'll be looking at this,
01:01:42and it's still going to be alarming for them,
01:01:45that they still need a good strong scrum,
01:01:49physicality is going to be an issue again,
01:01:53I think for them,
01:01:55every time they're setting themselves up with opportunities,
01:01:58their playmakers are making the right decision,
01:02:00and the execution is perfect,
01:02:03so they pack here,
01:02:04chasing a scrum,
01:02:05which they needed at the end,
01:02:06and they got that penalty,
01:02:08that gave them a 22 entry,
01:02:10so this team is always going to pick those moments,
01:02:13I think they've got the right players,
01:02:15doing the right thing,
01:02:16and the right,
01:02:17when I say the right players,
01:02:19like Rich and Mawanga playing here,
01:02:20full 80,
01:02:22massive chance line opportunity,
01:02:23to add him on,
01:02:24to a test matching team,
01:02:27so that's exactly where the all-blacks want it to be,
01:02:30I mean,
01:02:31for John,
01:02:31for you,
01:02:32are we still seeing that full 80 minute performance,
01:02:35that the all-blacks want to see,
01:02:36again,
01:02:36I asked Jeff Wilson this,
01:02:37or are they just winning special moments,
01:02:39that then turn a match in their favour,
01:02:40and I thought the 9-10 axis were actually not working that well,
01:02:46Noah Hattem wasn't,
01:02:48you know,
01:02:48wasn't,
01:02:49he didn't have his best of games,
01:02:50I thought when Kyle Preston came on,
01:02:52he certainly changed the game,
01:02:53took more control of the game,
01:02:55and you know,
01:02:55I think it speaks to the depth that they have within the squad,
01:02:59you know,
01:02:59I think it's going to be extremely difficult for a Rich and Mawanga,
01:03:02to break into the 23,
01:03:03when you have a Ruben Love at 10,
01:03:05and when you have a D-Mac at 15,
01:03:07you know,
01:03:07two guys that can cover in the 23,
01:03:09the fly-off position,
01:03:10so,
01:03:12I think the confidence that they will take out of this game,
01:03:14is that towards the end,
01:03:16when they needed to,
01:03:17to kind of finish the game,
01:03:19or if they went to their set phase,
01:03:20you know,
01:03:20the scrum really came through strong,
01:03:22the Maw came through really strong for them,
01:03:24and I think that for them will be a massive positive,
01:03:26because that is the area where we certainly had dominance,
01:03:29on the weekend as box.
01:03:31Yeah,
01:03:31well,
01:03:31there will be plenty of questions for the management,
01:03:34and the coaching staff,
01:03:35of the All Blacks to answer,
01:03:37but there were some incredible tries we saw tonight,
01:03:40this,
01:03:41our Clip Drift trial of the match.
01:03:54Nico Steen scored the first try of the match.
01:03:58Yes,
01:03:58from the base,
01:03:59Trenier in the air,
01:04:01for the Lions,
01:04:02the pace from Mahasheri Gay,
01:04:05will play on,
01:04:07it's play on,
01:04:08it is play on,
01:04:12from Angus Gardner.
01:04:24Well,
01:04:25there's a reason he is wearing that medal around the fat,
01:04:28or around his neck.
01:04:30The next match,
01:04:31the test match on Saturday,
01:04:33what are some of those moments that the box will be looking at,
01:04:35and thinking,
01:04:36that's where we can attack?
01:04:37I mean,
01:04:38look at the first try.
01:04:39For me,
01:04:40it's a steady scrum,
01:04:41it's you coming around the corner,
01:04:43what are the opportunities,
01:04:44what are the tendencies,
01:04:45in terms of decision making,
01:04:47when numbers are coming and flooding onto,
01:04:49taking the right options would be important for the South Africa,
01:04:53and the spring box,
01:04:54your first start converting in the 22 area,
01:04:57it's going to be something that has to be a given.
01:05:00Yeah,
01:05:01and for you,
01:05:01John?
01:05:02Yeah,
01:05:02I think that last point that Bob said,
01:05:0522 meter entries and conversions from that,
01:05:07that is the big learning,
01:05:08what the Lions got right today,
01:05:10and what the box can learn from on the weekend.
01:05:13If they get that right,
01:05:14if they can have the same kind of position,
01:05:16but then actually convert on it,
01:05:20then I think we'll have way more smiles on the weekend.
01:05:24I'm not predicting anything this weekend,
01:05:25but that 23 that was selected for the box,
01:05:29the changes that we've seen,
01:05:30those guys will want to prove a point.
01:05:32Sia Khaleesi being there,
01:05:33being the leader,
01:05:35he's not only what he brings onto the field as a player,
01:05:39but just his presence there,
01:05:40means so much for this group,
01:05:42and certainly he'll be leading by example,
01:05:44Ethan Hooker,
01:05:45great to see him.
01:05:46Yeah.
01:05:46On the wing,
01:05:47and then even the bench,
01:05:48you know,
01:05:49I think we're pretty strong with our bomb squad.
01:05:51Yeah,
01:05:51well,
01:05:52for South African fans all across the country,
01:05:55we definitely hope that,
01:05:56that starting 15 can definitely lay the platform
01:05:58for these replacements to come on boats.
01:06:01Yeah,
01:06:01you look at,
01:06:02for me,
01:06:02I think Cameron Honeycomb coming on,
01:06:05I thought he was unlucky last week,
01:06:06but he gets the chance,
01:06:08because he's a kind of versatility that he brings.
01:06:11He can play 8,
01:06:127,
01:06:12and a 6,
01:06:14so he covers you all around the back there,
01:06:17and then you've got Esther Hazen.
01:06:19We were found short last week,
01:06:21that we didn't have the outside backs that we wanted,
01:06:24but I think when you have that sort of a player,
01:06:27it doesn't,
01:06:28you don't have to be forced to play Andrea Hazen in the loose.
01:06:30I think,
01:06:31you know,
01:06:31the one guy that we haven't mentioned yet,
01:06:33on that bench,
01:06:34coming back in,
01:06:34hasn't played for the box,
01:06:36not,
01:06:36Lourdes Jaeger.
01:06:37Lourdes,
01:06:37Lourdes,
01:06:38Dion Phuree,
01:06:39yes,
01:06:39but Lourdes Jaeger as well.
01:06:41Ergis Neiman,
01:06:42not available,
01:06:43we know what he has done previously off the bench.
01:06:45Expect the same from Lourdes,
01:06:46I'm expecting a big game from him off the bench to have a massive impact.
01:06:50Yeah,
01:06:50it's definitely not the way you start,
01:06:52it is absolutely going to be how you respond though.
01:06:54Gentlemen,
01:06:54thank you so much for going on this journey with me,
01:06:56it was incredible to share this evening with you guys,
01:06:59and with you at home,

01:07:05at 10-bit Ellis Park tonight.

01:07:07DHL Stadium,
01:07:08waits for us for the second test of this Castle Double Malt rugby's greatest rivalry.
