Mm-hmm.
voice-verified
at a pinch, yeah.
voice-verified
Yeah, yeah.
voice-verified
Um far be it from us mere mortals to try and second guess uh Russi what he's going to try and do but
voice-verified
It's gonna be interesting.
voice-verified
I uh does he go, Right oh, I'm gonna make wholesale changes now and imagine the statement that I could make if I could send out a largely different team and get another win.
voice-verified
Just imagine what that sort of message that sends to the rest of the world.
voice-verified
Um, or does he really go for the jugular foot on the throat sort of thing uh and and again just chuck out his best line out uh line up and and and go for three one?
voice-verified
Like I've said it before, and at the risk of repeating, I just think there's so much good going to come out of this playing this series for both sides, really.
voice-verified
Um, because I think it it's unlike anything else.
voice-verified
I I know the French, as you say, are very good in Ireland and England and they all present their challenges and and England did beat the All Blacks last year.
voice-verified
But I I just think having this series a year out from the World Cup and it just underlines how dopey it is that
voice-verified
they're due to meet in the quarter final.
voice-verified
But I look there is I I I think
voice-verified
from an all black perspective, there is plenty to be encouraged about.
voice-verified
I think if they can address these issues and and they were pretty glaring issues in the test match, um, but you know, they've got a a smart coaching staff and they've got guys like Neil Barnes who just will take things head on.
voice-verified
They they're not gonna duck around any of these y issues.
voice-verified
Uh I I think there's a lot of really good can come out of this and I I think as it to to the time to judge, as I mentioned in my editorial piece, to to judge Dave Rennie is at the end of this year, because it's just gonna be fascinating.
voice-verified
Obviously there might be a few not standing anymore with injuries and what have you, but just to see how they kick on, how immediate the impact of what they've learnt in this series can manifest itself in what remains in the rest of this year.
voice-verified
Yeah.
