Zach obviously didn't interview immediately post-game.

He didn't know at that point in time what the allegations were, and he was pretty clear about what he'd said.

And then Zach and Ollie obviously gave that evidence again last night.

And I hear the point that there were some slight discrepancies, but...

These guys are playing a highly competitive game of football.

And when it's, when it's come out of Zach's mouth, he's not thinking anything of it because he knows he hasn't done anything wrong.

So I think for a tribunal to find, to be, to be confident enough to find that all

All of those things don't point to the fact that the words weren't said.

Yeah, really disappointed.

Have you spoken to Zach?

Yeah, I have.

What did he say?

Look, we just had a good chat, and I think consistent with he made a very short statement, but he's really disappointed.

And I think, unfortunately, the weight of evidence, which was in his favour, doesn't seem to have carried the day here, and that's concerning.

Is he worried that he's been branded a liar?

I think anytime a person gives evidence and it's not accepted, that sort of cuts quite deeply.

You know, I know Zach well enough.

I know Ollie well.

You know, these are guys that are, you know, really highly revered, true to their word.

I don't think anyone's ever doubted that.
