Kieran ReadGUEST
All the surf guns over.
Jeremy PaulGUEST
Oh, look, you know what? Um, yeah, congratulations to Les Kiss on, on the new era.
Jeremy PaulGUEST
Um, undefeated, three wins and a draw.
Jeremy PaulGUEST
Um-
Jeremy PaulGUEST
Like, we got to know about the players.
Kieran ReadGUEST
Yeah.
Jeremy PaulGUEST
And I think this is what Les Kiss is, like, like fortunately got to actually go away on tour.
Jeremy PaulGUEST
Got to go to Japan, then, like, over to Argentina-
Nigel YaldenGUEST
And, um, it'll also be interesting though to see what side Rassie Erasmus decides to put out there, uh, whether he utilizes his, his, you know, his core, which he used throughout tests one, two, three, and four of this particular series, and whether we see maybe some of the squad depth, which again is, you know, a- another big difference that South Africa's got over pretty much everybody bar France at the moment.
Nigel YaldenGUEST
So I think that will be quite interesting, and just seeing what Les Kiss, if we start to see those Les Kiss fingerprints starting to appear on this particular Wallabies team.
Tony JohnsonHOST
Yeah.
Tony JohnsonHOST
Oh, well, um, I, I guess, yes, you're, you're right.
Belinda GrovesHOST
The club will retain Canberra Stadium as its main home venue, but the Brumbies are expected to make an announcement on Monday to confirm a game will be played at Manukau Oval to celebrate the 90th year of ACT rugby.
Belinda GrovesHOST
The revelation comes on the same day Wallaby's coach, Les Kiss, names his test squad.
Belinda GrovesHOST
The Brumbies' history at Manukau Oval dates back to 1996 when Joe Roff scored four tries against the Natal Sharks in a 44-31 victory.
Belinda GrovesHOST
there is hope a move to the more intimate venue combined with the novelty of the short-term shift will entice more fans to fill the stands, with the club battling to lure big crowds to Bruce in recent years.
Ant StrachanGUEST
So it never stops at international level, and that's gonna be a really, really interesting test match too, Marty, because, you know, Australia are not South Africa.
Ant StrachanGUEST
Uh, but they had a win and a draw against Argentina, so, uh, they're building under Les Kiss.
Ant StrachanGUEST
You know, they're gonna bring some different, uh, challenges for us too.
Ant StrachanGUEST
So, um, yeah, I just hope they, they have a nice, good, robust, constructive review of everything.
Jim HamiltonHOST
In some teams, but I don't imagine Australia will change their head coach.
Jim HamiltonHOST
Les Kiss has just taken the reins from Joe Smith.
Jim HamiltonHOST
Dave Rennie has been put into the role with the All Blacks.
Jim HamiltonHOST
I don't imagine if they don't perform well or they got knocked out in the quarterfinals by South Africa that he's going to lose his job.
Ian RenshawHOST
And then as you get the game tomorrow, we might want to be a little bit tighter and um develop our plan or whatever to work through that as well yeah there's another interesting point keith that that made me think about when i was reading the paper um and it's the current Wallabies have just changed their coach in rugby union.
Ian RenshawHOST
So a new guy come in called Les Kiss, who's come in.
Ian RenshawHOST
And the first thing he said, he said, I want our players to go back to playing what's in front of them, playing, playing with freedom, playing like you were playing in the backyard.
Ian RenshawHOST
And he's actually quoted that.
TomHOST
Take it easy.
TomHOST
Suoli is firmly focused on rugby union and Australia's confidence soaring under Les Kiss ahead of a massive test with the Springboks.
Joseph SuaaliiSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I respect them, but I'm not scared of them.
Joseph SuaaliiSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think for us crew, we're very excited to go against the best in the world.
MaestroHOST
Uh, but the Wallabies unable, two-man advantage against Argentina, and they get away with a draw.
MaestroHOST
But really, I think Les Kiss will be disappointed they didn't win that.
MaestroHOST
And our Australian under-20s, uh, in the Ramble game, Adam, not qualifying for the Asian Cup, which they are defending champions of.
Adam PeacockHOST
Mm.
Rassie ErasmusSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But then in all areas, we felt the last 10, 9 minutes is normally the time when we were better in the past and we felt we let that slip a little bit in the last three games and we want to get better at that.
Cameron HillHOST
Elsewhere, the Wallabies maintained their unbeaten start to life under new head coach Les Kiss, or saw their winning run come to an end.
Cameron HillHOST
That depends on how you look at things.
Cameron HillHOST
They claimed a series win over Argentina with a 28-all draw in Mendoza.
Christy DoranHOST
He's struggled all year since he returned for the Brumbies.
Christy DoranHOST
And that is a massive concern for Les Kiss.
Christy DoranHOST
I dare say they just think that he's going to be the fullback for next year's World Cup.
Christy DoranHOST
So they're going to give him as long as they want.
Sam BruceHOST
Coming back that next season from the outset has been spectacular and really flourished under Joe Schmidt.
Sam BruceHOST
But Right now, he's not the Tom Wright of the last couple of years.
Sam BruceHOST
So maybe he gets back there before the end of the year, and that comes from through this tricky little period with Les Kiss sticking by him.
Sam BruceHOST
But at the moment, he's not what we've come to expect.
