August 12, 202400:46
00:00:00
so we had a very successful run into the
00:00:02
Rugby World Cup in 207 we got bit
00:00:05
complacent to be fair you know we had
00:00:07
beaten the French by a big score not
00:00:10
long before the Rugby World Cup in 207
00:00:13
and so we got ahead of ourselves you
00:00:15
know and complacency is the biggest evil
00:00:17
in business and Sport I guess and we got
00:00:20
complacent you know it was a difficult
00:00:22
game because the officiating in the game
00:00:24
was not normally how we had experienced
00:00:26
it and so the boys found that difficult
00:00:29
so they fro
00:00:30
most of them choked you know got beting
00:00:32
20 points to 18 at the end of the day
00:00:34
that was another huge learning curve and
00:00:38
it probably was the foundation to
00:00:40
winning Rugby World Cup with a bit of
00:00:41
luck in 211 and 215
