00:00:00
quite often got asked what it is like
00:00:02
playing against my home country I didn't
00:00:04
know any of the players personally that
00:00:07
were in the team so I didn't have that
00:00:09
personal connection with them and I
00:00:11
never played in that team myself so I
00:00:14
didn't have that connection with them
00:00:16
the only connection I really have is the
00:00:17
fact that they are from my home country
00:00:19
and that I could sometimes understand
00:00:21
what they were saying on court when they
00:00:23
were talking to each other it's got to
00:00:25
it's got to be so weird though hearing
00:00:26
the anthem though you got two anthems
00:00:28
pregame that bring you
00:00:30
yeah I think that's probably the
00:00:32
weirdest thing for me is standing in the
00:00:34
black dress facing the opposition trying
00:00:37
to not sing along to the South African
00:00:40
um Anthem so many new zealanders tell me
00:00:42
about how they love the South African
00:00:44
Anthem and how beautiful it is yeah new
00:00:46
appreciation for it but really H trying
00:00:49
to not sing along to it I mean I sing
00:00:51
along to it in my head
