  Speaker 1: Lots of sport at the weekend, Tyson obviously playing that
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: YouTuber guy. I watched that. We'll talk about that in
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: a second, but first Adam Cooper's here was sporting the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: All Blacks losing by one point to France after a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: good first half. It was disappointing to watch, wasn't it,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Monie Raun certainly was.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: You know, as you said, so much promise from a
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: very strong and comprehensive first half. I thought arguably one
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: of their best spells of forty minutes from the whole season,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: with the All Blacks doing what we've known all year
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: that they're capable of setting up some great tries. They
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: rarely had the free sure on the back foot. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: think they had to make well over a hundred tackles
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: against the All Blacks and that first spell, but as
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: it has also been rather familiar this season, just just
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: losing their way a little bit in the second In
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the second spell, you know, a little bit of decision making,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: a little bit of discipline, you know, you think of
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a suffer on Moor's watched lineout throw. You know that
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the likes of Cody Taylor getting penalized there. Yes, there
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: were some contentious decisions with the officiating, which were always
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: going to debate after.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: But I think the All Blacks can We can't go
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: on and on about that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I think the All Blacks lost that game themselves, regardless
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: of a couple of possible referee calls or tom decisions.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I think they again just lost their way a bit
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and multiple factors just you know, let them down. Quite astonishing.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Now three in a row for France against the All
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Blacks and starts to France, of course, where the All
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Blacks lost the final last year, sort of comes back
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to haunt them, which is really interesting. Hey, well what
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: do they.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Do now because that's their last game for the Northern Tour,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: isn't it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I've got Italy this weekend, so one more not not
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: as obviously as strong as opponents as the last couple
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: of weeks, so I suspect we'll see a few of
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the younger players get a bit of a run and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: they'll try and end the year on a bit of
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a high. So certainly the toughest couple of games of
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the tours all done in dusty.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: And you've got an update for us on Black Caps
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: in the Sri Lanka Yees Slanka.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Srilanka are batting and the run chase they're
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: trying to get two hundred and ten to beat New
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Zealand's They are doing pretty well one hundred and twenty
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: three for five, needing about eighty seven runs from eighteen overs.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Socus almendis just in the middle order of the episode
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: of holding firm for the Sri Lankans, so unless New
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Zealand can urgently get a few quick wickets, it's going
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to be a Sri Lankan victory and which would see
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: them wrap up the series as well, because of course
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the Sri Lankans won this first one day just a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: few days ago.
• 2:16
