He's getting him. Oh, there you go. He was forward. Oh! The Devlin Sports Podcast Network.
dspn all week we have been talking about rugby's greatest rivalry and guess what we're still talking courtesy of hbo max who have proudly supported us right throughout the series in south africa and now and it doesn't stop either because the springboks are about to play australia in a week in a little bit's time and then of course the bledisloe cup to test there we've got plenty of international rugby to come well he's the voice of australian rugby stan sport is sean maloney and he's a great friend of the show courtesy of the 8.9 podcast and Substack with our mate Brett McKay and Jeff Parks as well. And we warmly welcome Sean back onto the show for an Australian perspective on all of this and obviously with in mind what is coming in the next couple of weeks.
Hello and welcome again, my friend.
Hello, mate. How are you? Jeez, I tell you what, it has been a wild... What was it? Four weeks in the end with the greatest rivalry and then dotted in around that, the Wallabies in Argentina and then those other bits around the world. But man, oh man, was I jealous seeing you on the other side of the world. How lucky were you?
Look, I'm still pinching myself. I've been back a week or so, or just over a week, and you kind of think, wow, was I there? It goes so quickly and things. Look, it was an enormous privilege, and there are just parts of it that I'll never forget, being at Alice Park and seeing the All Blacks win there. Obviously, the way that the series ended, a lot of dissatisfaction here about that. We'll talk about that. But just the experience, Sean, and the thing I take away from everything as I get older in life, it's actually about the people, because you always remember who you were with in situations and what you were doing. And you look around and who was to your left and to your right. And by that, I mean the public, the general public like.
I embrace rugby as a sport, but I've relearned to really embrace it in terms of who watches it, who goes to the games and how much people love it and the interaction we have. And I think it is something that is peculiar, particular and very special to rugby and international rugby. We have a sport where there are no boundaries, there are no walls. And it's really important to emphasise this all the time, mate. Just give me a couple of seconds on this because I think it is really important. You know, if you go to a football World Cup, they segregate all the fans. And, you know, you watch the Melbourne Open, they can't have the Serbian fans and the Croatian fans supporting, you know, opposite sides, you know, if there are two players on the court, because all of a sudden there's going to be argy-bargy.
You can go anywhere in the world, any international rugby test, and if somebody's got a jersey on, you can walk up to them and give it a bit of this and they'll give it a bit back. And there is a warmth and a friendliness attached to that. And I just think that international rugby have got to... really appreciate this and tap into it because we have a fan base that is unlike anything else in the world we are bitterly competitive man we go at each other but there's also a genuineness there and and lifelong friendships i think i've got people whatsapping me now giving it to me after the fourth test and that that i bumped into in the crowd who i didn't know you know you know what i mean did i explain that
