You wouldn't know anyone from a bar of soap going into it before you research, and then you've got to try and call it at quick speed.

So it must be tough.

It's a cool thing of the game, getting to watch people progress through their journeys.

And like you say, you saw him as a young schoolboy in ASM, potentially as an All Black over the next few years, still calling him.

Yeah.

For sure.

You mentioned the pronunciation side of it.

How do you make sure you get that part right?

Like that must be the toughest part of the job.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So what's your preparation look like before a game?

Like how much buildup is there for you?

Yeah, that's interesting.

I never really thought about that, like working with that person next to you.

Like Marshy's probably a good example of when he jumps in, he's bringing the energy often on a big moment or something.

So are you sort of reliant on that when that moment happens or are you trying to call it as well?

Like how does that balance work?

So when you're picking a team, do you pick your team or is that Sky?

How does that work?
