The All Blacks are good because they
00:00:02
hurt when they lose. You staff are no
00:00:04
different. I think the fans don't really
00:00:05
understand how much it does hurt people.
00:00:07
I remember 207 that was horrific.
00:00:11
>> How often do you think about 2019?
00:00:13
>> Pretty regular.
00:00:14
>> Really?
00:00:15
>> Yeah. He was probably not the most
00:00:18
talented rugby player. Definitely the
00:00:20
most best work ethic. Mentally the
00:00:22
toughest. In the end, he was the
00:00:24
greatest rugby player of all time. I
00:00:26
think he always knew I I wanted to talk
00:00:28
to him if I said, "Oh, let's go and have
00:00:29
a cup of tea." So, we went and had a cup
00:00:32
of tea and I said, "You know, I reckon
00:00:34
there's only one thing that's going to
00:00:35
stop us winning."
00:00:37
And he said, "What's that?" And I said,
00:00:39
"Yeah."
00:00:40
>> One of the players um in your team in
00:00:42
Japan is um Aaron Smith.
00:00:45
>> Usually like to say huge sorry to my
00:00:48
partner Tegan.
00:00:49
>> Why didn't you throw him to the Wolves
00:00:51
at the time?
