Mils Muliaina

Whakatava Lennox pledged you coming back.

First fives, Jacob, Muliaina, Pellegrini.

Again, great depth.

Midfield, Grinlay, Tavatavanawai, Whanga and Pasitoa.

...

Daniel Carter and Conrad Smith and Mils Muliaina and Brad Thorn.

They all captained together, you know.

Ritchie was the leader, and that's what Luke gives us.

A young kid with a big future, says Deep South.

He has a current national development contract with the Landers, but Jacob, Pellegrini and Muliaina are already on the books.

They'll struggle to keep him.

Jimmy Taylor, what a kid.

And Millsy and Guy will take you home between 3:00 and 6:00 this evening.

Time to talk Test match footy with a man who's been there, done that, and that is Mils Muliaina who is on the line with us, and Millsy knows all about Bledisloe Cup clashes.

He knows all about Eden Park.

He knows all about All Blacks pressure, and he'll have a genuine eye on this game.

Mils Muliaina, are you there?

I am.

I am, Sumo.

... uh, that doesn't happen, and, um, they're both fairly, uh, fairly, uh, healthy coming, coming into the game, and we've taken the, the Bledisloe Cup away once again.

Like it was fantastic.

And they, and there was a lot of examples of me- um, Mils Muliaina and Israel Dagg, you know, same situation, older fellow, younger, same position.

And that mentoring system in the All Blacks was hugely valuable.

And if we had a problem, you know, a guy a wee bit off the rails, couple of the leadership group would sit down with him, have a coffee and have a chat.
