00:00:00.071 --> 00:00:02.653
We've got Bok Friday back in South Africa.
2
00:00:02.673 --> 00:00:03.894
I'm in my green shirt.
3
00:00:04.314 --> 00:00:07.016
I think the Scotland All Black game is going to be fantastic.
4
00:00:07.437 --> 00:00:09.038
Let's see who's going to win this Nations Cup.
5
00:00:09.318 --> 00:00:11.360
They have got a lot of injuries, the Italian side.
6
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:12.701
Have they got any chance?
7
00:00:13.121 --> 00:00:15.263
I don't think they'll win, but they'll certainly have a crack.
8
00:00:15.423 --> 00:00:20.667
But as the game opens up, first dominate up front, but then let's have a go with our backs as well.
9
00:00:21.127 --> 00:00:22.528
Scotland's never beaten the All Blacks.
10
00:00:23.089 --> 00:00:24.870
Could it happen this weekend?
11
00:00:25.030 --> 00:00:27.372
They do believe they can have a go at the All Blacks.
12
00:00:27.832 --> 00:00:33.176
I think what will happen is we'll go through unbeaten and South Africa will lose to France and Paris.
13
00:00:33.977 --> 00:00:34.737
That's my early prediction.
14
00:00:34.757 --> 00:00:36.598
You're trying to be a nice guy this morning on this show.
15
00:00:36.659 --> 00:00:37.359
I'm done.
16
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:39.000
I'm not being nice again.
17
00:00:44.684 --> 00:00:54.191
Right, welcome to Ram Hand to Hand Couriers Rugby Rivals and a special preview edition where the teams have been named for the test matches and...
18
00:00:55.373 --> 00:00:57.134
So, Victor, are you happy with the team?
19
00:00:57.174 --> 00:01:00.135
It's a strong side considering the Italians have got a lot of injuries.
20
00:01:01.135 --> 00:01:01.996
Yeah, interesting.
21
00:01:03.076 --> 00:01:16.521
I must say, when Rossi picked the South African side, I was like, okay, he's maybe not that focused on this Nations Cup when he selected the squad with all the youngsters in the squad.
22
00:01:16.781 --> 00:01:23.944
But, I mean, the team that he picked this weekend is definitely the strongest he could have picked that he thought he could have picked.
23
00:01:24.742 --> 00:01:26.163
So yeah, he's going all out.
24
00:01:26.323 --> 00:01:28.944
So it's going to be great to see the boys back.
25
00:01:29.064 --> 00:01:31.685
We've got Bok Friday back in South Africa.
26
00:01:31.705 --> 00:01:32.886
I'm in my green shirt.
27
00:01:33.486 --> 00:01:35.427
Everyone outside is in their green shirts.
28
00:01:35.527 --> 00:01:39.229
So we're very excited for this last few games.
29
00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:42.011
This weekend already, we're going into it.
30
00:01:42.031 --> 00:01:44.352
There's a few big games.
31
00:01:44.452 --> 00:01:49.054
I mean, I think the Scotland All Black Games is going to be fantastic to watch.
32
00:01:49.674 --> 00:01:50.695
England, Australia.
33
00:01:52.173 --> 00:01:54.815
that's going to be another crack-off game.
34
00:01:54.995 --> 00:01:57.456
So, yeah, we're here.
35
00:01:58.196 --> 00:01:59.797
Let's see who's going to win this Nations Cup.
36
00:02:00.677 --> 00:02:03.479
Do you think, though, that it missed a trick?
37
00:02:03.499 --> 00:02:09.241
And this is unusual for Rassi, but this was a chance, you know, the Italians have got a lot of injuries.
38
00:02:09.922 --> 00:02:16.765
To give some of those, you know, new players a bit of test experience, you know, is he missing that opportunity?
39
00:02:17.825 --> 00:02:25.787
Yeah, I think what Rashi is saying this week is the players only arrived in camp on Monday and they're playing Saturday.
40
00:02:25.887 --> 00:02:30.188
So there's quite a few of them that hasn't been in the spring ball camp at all.
41
00:02:30.308 --> 00:02:34.909
So they don't understand how, what they want to do, how they want to achieve it.
42
00:02:35.049 --> 00:02:41.850
So for him, he would rather let them get into the system, get into the squad, understand what it's about.
43
00:02:42.924 --> 00:02:44.605
Again, that's something Rossi will do.
44
00:02:44.865 --> 00:02:50.046
I mean, if you play France or Ireland, that everyone thinks, listen, this is just going to be conservative.
45
00:02:50.506 --> 00:02:59.409
He doesn't mind giving those players the opportunity because, I mean, if they want to go to a World Cup next year, they need to be able to perform in their big games as well.
46
00:03:00.369 --> 00:03:03.210
Probably doesn't help they perform well against...
47
00:03:04.116 --> 00:03:09.560
Italian team with a lot of injuries because a lot of people will say, yeah, but the quality wasn't there.
48
00:03:09.600 --> 00:03:24.290
But if these kids get opportunity against France or Ireland or any of the other, maybe in the final week, they'll have to step up and they will have to show, listen, I'm ready to go to World Cup and to play in a big A. JK, Spock Friday, mate.
49
00:03:24.310 --> 00:03:25.611
You haven't got your Springbok Tuesday on.
50
00:03:25.631 --> 00:03:26.112
What's going on?
51
00:03:26.897 --> 00:03:29.659
I've got my black, it's Black Friday, mate.
52
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.901
What do you mean, the Springbok Friday?
53
00:03:31.921 --> 00:03:32.662
It's Black Friday.
54
00:03:37.506 --> 00:03:42.571
You are a former Italian coach, so you're an expert on Italian rugby.
55
00:03:44.712 --> 00:03:51.478
You know, they have got a lot of injuries, the Italian side, and it's a powerful Springbok.
56
00:03:51.518 --> 00:03:53.180
I mean, have they got any chance?
57
00:03:55.225 --> 00:03:57.527
No, I don't think they'll have a crack.
58
00:03:57.587 --> 00:04:11.700
I mean, the interesting thing about the Italians is sometimes they played really, really well two Novembers ago against the All Blacks, and they play well when they disrupt you and they get in your face and they're raw-boned and they can be really aggressive.
59
00:04:11.980 --> 00:04:18.967
So I think that the interesting thing about Italy is you don't have the depth of the squads that, say, New Zealand...
60
00:04:19.607 -->

00:04:20.507
or South Africa have.
61
00:04:20.707 --> 00:04:23.208
I mean, New Zealand's got a massive injury list as well.
62
00:04:23.748 --> 00:04:28.829
But I don't think they'll win, but they'll certainly have a crack.
63
00:04:29.109 --> 00:04:33.569
I was really interested also, like Victor said, to see Russ's side.
64
00:04:34.350 --> 00:04:35.610
I thought he'd take a different approach.
65
00:04:36.230 --> 00:04:41.351
But, you know, first, you've got to get your trip off to the best start.
66
00:04:41.411 --> 00:04:42.891
So, you know, good on them.
67
00:04:43.691 --> 00:04:45.551
Okay, let's get Ram Curriers.
68
00:04:46.512 --> 00:04:48.412
Who's going to deliver on that test match, Victor?
69
00:04:48.432 --> 00:04:48.692
Yeah.
70
00:04:50.348 --> 00:04:55.711
Yeah, Ram Henson, Korea, perform under pressure.
71
00:04:57.032 --> 00:05:01.394
I think for this week, I actually want to go with Sasha a little bit.
72
00:05:01.434 --> 00:05:04.556
I'm not going to go with one of the scrum guys.
73
00:05:05.357 --> 00:05:09.920
I think it's time Sasha didn't have, I mean, he's been good at times, but he's had...
74
00:05:10.692 --> 00:05:14.393
few issues where he's maybe too loose, make too many errors.
75
00:05:14.613 --> 00:05:21.215
So I think this is a series where he'll have to show, listen, I can manage the game as well.
76
00:05:21.255 --> 00:05:35.480
I'm not the flyer that's just going to do magic moments, do special things, but he needs to drive the team, manage field position, get his kicking game there and also keep the team calm, especially in a game like against Italy where
77
00:05:35.887 --> 00:05:36.948
it can get to lose.
78
00:05:37.148 --> 00:05:40.771
I think it's going to be important for him to control the game.
79
00:05:41.211 --> 00:05:47.436
And as the game hopefully opens up, then we'll see some of the Sasha magic.
80
00:05:47.517 --> 00:05:51.140
You're also the expert on Brandy and Coke.
81
00:05:51.320 --> 00:05:55.063
That's really your specialty subject, which you know more about than rugby.
82
00:05:56.484 --> 00:05:56.944
Drum roll.
83
00:05:57.064 --> 00:05:57.725
It's Friday.
84
00:05:58.539 --> 00:06:01.883
Yeah, so you'll be enjoying a few cliff drifts.
85
00:06:02.043 --> 00:06:05.047
But let's have a look at the cliff drift moment.
86
00:06:05.067 --> 00:06:10.513
What's the aspect of this test match that the Springboks need to get right?
87
00:06:11.394 --> 00:06:16.440
As a fan, what part of the game should we be looking at to focus on?
88
00:06:17.769 --> 00:06:19.931
I think it's that balance.
89
00:06:20.472 --> 00:06:27.518
I think it's actually interesting because we've seen last year we started to play a little bit more expansive.
90
00:06:27.738 --> 00:06:29.520
I was talking about the Tony Ball.
91
00:06:30.061 --> 00:06:35.165
I think this year with the New Zealand Test Series, that was a very tough series.
92
00:06:35.225 --> 00:06:38.769
We pretty much went back to South Africa DNA.
93
00:06:39.814 --> 00:06:46.335
a really strong set piece, playing a pressure game, getting in the right areas on the field, use our big forwards.
94
00:06:46.795 --> 00:06:57.798
So we haven't really seen the Springboks go out there, expressing players, see our backs taking a bit more chances.
95
00:06:57.898 --> 00:07:02.839
So I think we might see this on this end of year tour.
96
00:07:03.039 --> 00:07:05.299
But again, first I'll talk about the balance.
97
00:07:05.884 --> 00:07:08.426
So that's why Sascha is going to be so important.
98
00:07:08.506 --> 00:07:12.649
Him and Mornay van Weyck, it's a young pairing.
99
00:07:12.769 --> 00:07:16.632
So just controlling it first, starting off nice and easy.
100
00:07:17.053 --> 00:07:23.517
But as the game opens up, as there's opportunities, I would really like to see our backs really have a go.
101
00:07:23.557 --> 00:07:25.279
I mean, we've got some fantastic backs.
102
00:07:25.359 --> 00:07:27.180
Our back three is really dangerous.
103
00:07:27.220 --> 00:07:31.123
So hopefully we can get a little bit more of that balance where...
104
00:07:33.323 --> 00:07:36.784
First, dominate up front, but then let's have a go with our backs as well.
105
00:07:37.164 --> 00:07:48.727
And nice, Victor, for the Springboks to obviously be the curtain raiser for the discussion about the All Blacks.
106
00:07:48.807 --> 00:07:54.589
You didn't ask me about who's going to be the Ram hand-to-hand couriers special guy in the Italian team.
107
00:07:56.142 --> 00:07:57.783
Well, you can, yeah, we'll go on then.
108
00:07:58.184 --> 00:08:03.848
Yeah, so Montiwani's playing his 50th test match, and he's a guy that can really inspire, you know, the guys around him.
109
00:08:04.308 --> 00:08:05.669
And I think Lorenzo Canone.
110
00:08:06.270 --> 00:08:12.274
So my Ram hand-to-hand couriers is, for me, those two guys.
111
00:08:12.294 --> 00:08:13.155
They need to have big games.
112
00:08:13.195 --> 00:08:16.157
Against South Africa, you need guys really playing out of their skin.
113
00:08:17.058 --> 00:08:23.583
Well, I actually got you on because you're an ex-All Black, and I want to know what's going to happen in the All Black Scotland game.
114
00:08:24.324 --> 00:08:25.745
So are you happy with the team that's been picked?
115
00:08:25.765 --> 00:08:26.045
Yeah.
116
00:08:26.729 --> 00:08:36.513
Yeah, I mean, obviously it's been a really, really difficult week for the All Blacks with, you know, Logan, the security guard passing away early in the week.
117
00:08:36.553 --> 00:08:38.833
And I know the team's been really shaken by that.
118
00:08:38.853 --> 00:08:42.615
So I think... Can you talk about that, JK, a little bit?
119
00:08:42.635 --> 00:08:48.637
Because you know, for Victor and some of the South African people that are listening, they might not be aware of what's happened.
120
00:08:48.657 --> 00:08:50.758
So can you just explain what happened during the week?
121
00:08:51.338 --> 00:08:54.521
Yeah, so really tragic news.
122
00:08:54.541 --> 00:09:06.613
Logan's been with the team for 10 years as security, just a really neat man, just a real gentleman, always there, always looking after the boys, always looking after the people around the team.
123
00:09:07.294 --> 00:09:10.017
And so, you know, just a really sad week.
124
00:09:10.057 --> 00:09:11.578
And I know it's really shaken the boys.
125
00:09:11.618 --> 00:09:14.941
So, you know, just condolences to his family.
126
00:09:16.363 --> 00:09:35.543
And in getting to the team, you know, what Renz has done is he's actually, he's picked a really sort of stable side, you know, it's De Groot, Taylor, Newell, Barrett, Holland, you know, really strong up front, Supervai, Peter Lakai, Wallace Satiti, you know, so it's a team that's been playing a lot together.
127
00:09:37.124 --> 00:09:46.831
and so he's staying with the tried and true, and I think he'll probably mix the team up next week.
128
00:09:47.552 --> 00:09:57.780
As I asked Victor, the Ram hand-to-hand couriers person that needs to deliver, who is the one player in the All Black team that you expect to deliver in this game?
129
00:09:59.141 --> 00:09:59.821
I think...
130
00:10:01.108 --> 00:10:06.412
Damien McKenzie has been getting confidence from, you know, the team.
131
00:10:06.832 --> 00:10:10.355
And so he, you know, he's sort of who was our first five.
132
00:10:10.375 --> 00:10:16.859
And I think he showed in South Africa he was playing fullback and I think he came down and played well against Aussie.
133
00:10:17.179 --> 00:10:19.981
So I think he'll be, you know, our...
134
00:10:21.022 --> 00:10:26.027
Ram hand-to-hand couriers guy, I think he'll just step up again and I think he'll need to.
135
00:10:26.067 --> 00:10:30.651
I think he was the player that scored that try in the last minute last year.
136
00:10:31.672 --> 00:10:35.896
So I'm really looking forward to him just feeling confident and running that game.
137
00:10:37.137 --> 00:10:40.780
Victor, Scotland's never beaten the All Blacks.
138
00:10:41.681 --> 00:10:42.562
Could it happen this weekend?
139
00:10:42.582 --> 00:10:42.682
Yes.
140
00:10:45.138 --> 00:10:46.459
They came close last year.
141
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.922
I think that was probably the opportunity to do it.
142
00:10:49.743 --> 00:10:51.184
Unfortunately, they didn't take it.
143
00:10:51.224 --> 00:10:56.810
Look, I must say the Scottish teams are really doing well in the URC.
144
00:10:57.251 --> 00:11:00.374
In the top four teams were the South African teams.
145
00:11:01.255 --> 00:11:02.757
So I think the confidence is high.
146
00:11:03.798 --> 00:11:06.120
They do believe they can have a go at the All Blacks.
147
00:11:06.741 --> 00:11:13.187
But I just feel after the South African, the rival series, I think the All Blacks and the Springsteen was just on another level.
148
00:11:13.848 --> 00:11:16.931
What they went through, the physicality, the pressure.
149
00:11:17.071 --> 00:11:21.996
So I don't see Scotland upsetting the All Blacks this weekend.
150
00:11:22.697 --> 00:11:24.398
I'm beyond the ABS.
151
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:27.702
Someone record that.
152
00:11:27.782 --> 00:11:29.303
When Scotland were beating the All Blacks.
153
00:11:30.004 --> 00:11:30.805
Someone record that.
154
00:11:32.222 --> 00:11:33.863
Yeah, I don't believe it.
155
00:11:34.304 --> 00:11:37.846
I reckon when Scotland were just about, were ahead of the All Blacks.
156
00:11:38.647 --> 00:11:40.808
Were you cheering Scotland on, Victor, last season?
157
00:11:43.750 --> 00:11:47.753
Well, there's a few South Africans in that team, so of course I need to support them.
158
00:11:47.913 --> 00:11:48.474
And I mean...
159
00:11:50.309 --> 00:11:54.272
Finn Russell is there, that place where Johan van Kroen is one of my big mates at Bath.
160
00:11:54.332 --> 00:11:56.254
So I've got a little bit of connection there.
161
00:11:56.654 --> 00:11:57.515
Yeah, I thought so.
162
00:11:57.895 --> 00:11:58.656
I thought so.
163
00:11:58.936 --> 00:12:00.417
Hey, JK.
164
00:12:00.537 --> 00:12:01.378
Finn Russell, mate.
165
00:12:01.438 --> 00:12:04.400
Finn Russell is, I just think, an incredible rugby player.
166
00:12:04.861 --> 00:12:10.806
And the boys will have to shut him down because when he is in a mood, he is one of the best standoffs in the world.
167
00:12:11.506 --> 00:12:15.950
And so for me, they've got to be winning the contact, putting him under pressure.
168
00:12:18.258 --> 00:12:25.701
I do like Finn Russell as well, but I must say he's never had a great game against South Africa because of the pressure.
169
00:12:25.761 --> 00:12:32.404
I think New Zealand has learned something about that pressure game and they've applied it against Australia.
170
00:12:33.584 --> 00:12:36.105
There will be a lot of pressure on Finn Russell.
171
00:12:36.546 --> 00:12:38.587
And he's not in great form at the moment.
172
00:12:38.687 --> 00:12:40.608
He's not playing the best rugby for both.
173
00:12:40.668 --> 00:12:43.190
They've lost two out of the last three games.
174
00:12:43.350 --> 00:12:47.232
So I think he'll be under pressure for his position as well in that Scottish team.
175
00:12:47.332 --> 00:12:53.416
So it will be interesting to see how he steps up.
176
00:12:53.716 --> 00:12:58.119
I'm just so pleased, Victor, that South Africa have taught us how to deal with pressure.
177
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.800
Just thank South Africa for that, mate.
178
00:13:01.060 --> 00:13:01.661
That's bloody good.
179
00:13:01.681 --> 00:13:01.881
Yeah.
180
00:13:02.625 --> 00:13:05.447
You haven't quite learned yet because you've lost a series.
181
00:13:06.127 --> 00:13:06.968
Are you kidding yourself?
182
00:13:06.988 --> 00:13:09.029
You're not double world champion at the moment.
183
00:13:09.390 --> 00:13:11.351
You're kidding yourself, mate.
184
00:13:11.972 --> 00:13:12.532
Seriously.
185
00:13:15.354 --> 00:13:17.736
As a player, did
you not know how to deal with pressure, JK?
186
00:13:18.356 --> 00:13:19.156
No, I'm an all-black, mate.
187
00:13:19.177 --> 00:13:20.658
We can't deal with pressure.
188
00:13:20.998 --> 00:13:23.880
We had to go to South Africa to learn that, you know.
189
00:13:26.281 --> 00:13:27.582
Pressure's our middle name, mate.
190
00:13:27.622 --> 00:13:28.663
Pressure's our middle name.
191
00:13:29.043 --> 00:13:29.283
Well...
192
00:13:31.630 --> 00:13:33.711
I thought your middle name was James.
193
00:13:34.551 --> 00:13:40.214
Look, I think clip drift sounds like it's actually got into the water of the show.
194
00:13:41.314 --> 00:13:42.515
What is the clip drift moment?
195
00:13:42.755 --> 00:13:47.797
What is the key aspect that the fans need to look for in this All Black Scotland game, JK?
196
00:13:49.950 --> 00:14:00.015
I think the speed of the game, I think the different weather, different, like in South Africa, the weather was amazing, you know, on top of the ground.
197
00:14:00.515 --> 00:14:06.297
So I think the style of rugby that was starting to see the all-black players, they need to just find a little bit of balance early.
198
00:14:06.678 --> 00:14:08.699
They need to, you know, Scotland will come out hissing.
199
00:14:09.139 --> 00:14:11.620
So I think, you know, the clip drift,
200
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:23.566
sort of moment would be for the fans to just watch the pressure that they need to put on Finn Russell and making sure that they're playing a little bit of territory early and then really exploding.
201
00:14:24.086 --> 00:14:33.231
So try and run the Scottish off their feet, but make sure they get their kicking game right first would be my clip drift sort of moment to look forward to.
202
00:14:34.161 --> 00:14:34.401
Right.
203
00:14:34.521 --> 00:14:40.327
So, and just wrapping up, obviously we've got our competition to give away the Isuzu X rider Buckees.
204
00:14:40.427 --> 00:14:41.908
Is that right, Victor?
205
00:14:42.028 --> 00:14:42.809
Is it Buckees?
206
00:14:43.390 --> 00:14:43.830
Buckees.
207
00:14:43.890 --> 00:14:44.190
Buckees.
208
00:14:44.551 --> 00:14:45.171
Yes.
209
00:14:45.652 --> 00:14:51.217
And you just go to ram.co.za backslash competition for that.
210
00:14:53.107 --> 00:14:59.512
But I just want to perhaps finish on the nation's championship.
211
00:14:59.912 --> 00:15:00.953
This is what it's all about.
212
00:15:02.034 --> 00:15:03.995
Excited about the nation's championship, gentlemen?
213
00:15:05.676 --> 00:15:07.157
Yeah, I think it's coming up.
214
00:15:07.298 --> 00:15:09.419
There was a little break.
215
00:15:10.140 --> 00:15:13.862
It's us against you guys running for that number one position.
216
00:15:13.882 --> 00:15:17.165
We can't play each other in the final, probably like the World Cup next year.
217
00:15:19.083 --> 00:15:21.386
So I think point difference is also going to be important.
218
00:15:21.526 --> 00:15:29.937
So I think that's probably why Rossi also picked this pretty strong team, because I think it might even come down to point difference at the end.
219
00:15:30.918 --> 00:15:35.944
Although I'm still very worried about France next week for us, but hopefully we can get through that well.
220
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:40.543
Oh, look, Riccardo, I think for me, I think it's quite exciting.
221
00:15:40.583 --> 00:15:49.150
I think it's going to be a great competition because it just connects, you know, the two mid-seasons, so July test matches with the end of the year.
222
00:15:49.790 --> 00:15:52.572
I think it'll take us a little while to understand.
223
00:15:53.133 --> 00:15:56.155
You know, I think it'd be really cool to...
224
00:15:56.595 --> 00:16:03.861
So if France win, then I think the final's on Sunday, and if England come second, they're playing on Friday night.
225
00:16:03.881 --> 00:16:05.142
So I think there's just a little bit of...
226
00:16:05.722 --> 00:16:11.627
understanding on how that might work when you don't know when or what day you're going to play going into that.
227
00:16:12.028 --> 00:16:13.449
But that's all part of it.
228
00:16:13.889 --> 00:16:14.630
I think it'll be great.
229
00:16:14.690 --> 00:16:15.371
I'm looking forward to it.
230
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:18.660
And you're pricking the All Blacks to be in the final, JK?
231
00:16:19.140 --> 00:16:19.761
Correct, mate.
232
00:16:20.301 --> 00:16:21.021
Of course I am.
233
00:16:21.601 --> 00:16:27.504
Well, I think what will happen is we'll go through unbeaten and South Africa will lose to France and Paris.
234
00:16:28.305 --> 00:16:37.028
And so we'll be number one and then we'll win the final and then we'll be number one, number one and number one and Victor will be number two, number two.
235
00:16:39.850 --> 00:16:40.950
That's my early prediction.
236
00:16:40.970 --> 00:16:42.471
It's time to be a nice guy this morning on this show.
237
00:16:42.951 --> 00:16:43.932
I know it is.
238
00:16:43.992 --> 00:16:44.612
I'm done.
239
00:16:45.025 --> 00:16:46.286
I'm not being nice again.
240
00:16:47.887 --> 00:16:51.230
JK did think they're going to beat us on the tour in South Africa.
241
00:16:51.270 --> 00:16:52.010
They lost that.
242
00:16:52.111 --> 00:16:56.074
Then they lost the rivals tour over the full tour as well.
243
00:16:56.114 --> 00:16:57.495
So what have you won this year?
244
00:16:57.855 --> 00:17:02.539
You've lost the series in South Africa and you've lost the rival series.
245
00:17:02.579 --> 00:17:03.860
So two losses.
246
00:17:04.320 --> 00:17:06.402
Did you not lose to Australia, you guys?
247
00:17:06.422 --> 00:17:06.542
Yes.
248
00:17:08.933 --> 00:17:10.914
Did you not go that?
249
00:17:10.934 --> 00:17:11.975
Were you not watching that weekend?
250
00:17:11.995 --> 00:17:12.635
What was that for?
251
00:17:12.995 --> 00:17:13.716
Was it friendly?
252
00:17:14.396 --> 00:17:15.117
Was it friendly?
253
00:17:15.937 --> 00:17:17.618
There's no friendly test matches.
254
00:17:18.118 --> 00:17:24.362
Remember, didn't you almost lose against Steve, French side, in New Zealand?
255
00:17:25.783 --> 00:17:26.343
Remember that?
256
00:17:26.903 --> 00:17:28.564
Ricardo, just let's finish this.
257
00:17:28.604 --> 00:17:30.545
Before we taught you how to do pressure.
258
00:17:30.586 --> 00:17:31.706
You said you were going to be nice.
259
00:17:32.226 --> 00:17:35.949
You said you were going to be nice, and it only lasted three breaths.
260
00:17:35.969 --> 00:17:36.409
I'm done now.
261
00:17:36.729 --> 00:17:37.369
I wanted to be.
262
00:17:37.409 --> 00:17:38.250
I've tried my best.
263
00:17:40.052 --> 00:17:44.075
You just buggered up my Friday, and I'll have to go get some Clippies and Koda.
264
00:17:44.135 --> 00:17:46.137
Go and have a Clippies and Coke, mate.
265
00:17:48.358 --> 00:17:49.439
I'm going to add 10.
266
00:17:51.981 --> 00:17:52.621
Thanks, Jim.
267
00:17:52.661 --> 00:17:58.505
We'll catch up early next week, and we'll see how this road to the nation's championship final goes.
268
00:17:59.126 --> 00:18:00.186
Thanks for your time.
269
00:18:00.446 --> 00:18:04.329
And for another episode of Ram and Ann Currier's Rugby Rivals.
270
00:18:05.490 --> 00:18:06.511
Codebook Friday.
