00:00:00
I can't imagine how terrifying that was
00:00:01
to come out I remember he would send me
00:00:03
the chapters of his book to read and
00:00:05
give him some feedback and he sent me
00:00:06
the one on those depression called Black
00:00:08
Dog and he's like I don't know if I'm
00:00:09
going to put this in and I read it and I
00:00:11
was like oh my God why didn't you tell
00:00:12
me that this was happening I didn't
00:00:14
understand cuz we were working together
00:00:15
and he's like there was a lot of thought
00:00:17
about exposing that side of his life
00:00:20
because at that stage no one had ever
00:00:21
done that before and it was a rugby book
00:00:24
you know tell me how many Tri you scored
00:00:26
what it was like the night after the
00:00:27
World Cup final and stuff that's what
00:00:28
rugby books were and he had the chapter
00:00:30
about dealing with depression and and
00:00:31
where where got to him and stuff but I
00:00:34
know and I'm sure he's told you this
00:00:36
that people will come up to him
00:00:38
constantly and go you've saved my
00:00:39
brother's life my father my husband you
00:00:41
know particularly males and you just
00:00:43
wonder whether you know his all black
00:00:45
career was really designed to give him
00:00:47
the profile to really do his good work
00:00:49
yeah the platform yeah
