Yeah, it was tough uh finishing up at
00:00:01
Wales. Results and performances weren't
00:00:03
good enough and I understand that and
00:00:05
there was just a huge amount of
00:00:06
negativity out there and I kind of woke
00:00:08
up one day went actually I don't need
00:00:09
this in my life. Probably a lot of
00:00:11
people don't realize is that the success
00:00:13
that we had over a period were there we
00:00:15
knew we were papering over the cracks
00:00:17
that were that were there and when we
00:00:19
said when the dam bursts which it has

00:00:39
deal with again.
00:00:40
>> Can you say what organization or No,
00:00:41
>> New Zealand Hero.
00:00:42
>> Oh, right. On the Hero. Yeah. So, what's
00:00:44
the story about that? What's the whole
00:00:45
backstory with the clown nose? The clown
00:00:47
thing. What's the closest you've you've
00:00:49
come to being involved with the All
00:00:50
Blacks? Have there been like phone calls
00:00:52
or people reaching out over the years?
00:00:53
Oh, I've had um
