Tony JohnsonGUEST
There are a number of factors that you have to consider.
Tony JohnsonGUEST
A, consider the fact that the All Blacks selected a midfield of Jordie Barrett and Quinn Tupaea, one of whom pulled out late in the week.
Tony JohnsonGUEST
We don't know how late in the week, whether it was the actual day of the game-
Martin DevlinHOST
Yeah
Martin DevlinHOST
I got that impression.
Tony JohnsonGUEST
But why take the risk? And so straightaway you've got a change there at 12, and then you, you've...
Tony JohnsonGUEST
not very long into the game at all and Quinn Tupaea's off.
Tony JohnsonGUEST
So suddenly you've got a completely new midfield combination.
Martin DevlinHOST
Here are the 19, if we were playing this weekend, that aren't available.
Martin DevlinHOST
Tamati, Lister, Love, Ardie, Jacobson, Mo'unga, Blackadder, Norris, Caleb, Proctor, Patrick, Carter, Asafo, Signer, Fehri, Jordie, Frizell, Tupaea, and Somosoni.
Martin DevlinHOST
Now, of those 19, there's a fair few of those that you'd be putting in the first 15, wouldn't you? What does that tell you when you hear those names?
Ant StrachanGUEST
Well, absolutely.
Matt GiteauHOST
They had a totally different midfield because-
Adam Ashley-CooperHOST
Yeah, Quinn Tupaea
Matt GiteauHOST
...
Matt GiteauHOST
Quinn Tupaea-
speaker_8HOST
Yeah
Matt GiteauHOST
...
Ross KarlGUEST
So to some degree, while, you know, it would've been awesome to see Jordie out there tonight, it was actually good to see him have a crack, maybe learn a few lessons, and get out there.
Martin DevlinHOST
Is he the second-best number 12 in the country, or, or would Quinn Tupaea still take that jersey, do you think, if it was a major, a quarterfinal or a semifinal, a major knockout match?
Ross KarlGUEST
I think they'd probably go to Anton Lienert-Brown.
Ross KarlGUEST
I think they're backing Quinn as their, their 13, right? So I think he would probably be their second choice if they had a, a chance there.
6 MINS LATER
Jamie WallCORRESPONDENT
Well, there was a lot of chat about this game being probably gonna end up being an uncomfortable victory for the All Blacks, and unfortunately for the locals here who are all filing out now, I mean, the good news is it's still a really nice evening here in Sydney, but the bad is, once again, a convincing victory, uh, for the All Blacks.
Jamie WallCORRESPONDENT
Dave Rennie will be happy, though, uh, we mentioned in the build-up that this was going to be a real test of his depth.
Jamie WallCORRESPONDENT
Uh, and I think they came through with flying colors, 'cause not only did, uh, Jordie Barrett get ruled out, uh, earlier in the day, uh, d- uh, Quinn Tupaea had to, uh, leave the field after only a minute.
Jamie WallCORRESPONDENT
Um, so the All Blacks were playing with their like third choice, uh, midfield, uh, in the end.
Ross KarlHOST
I mean, all year there's those guys, if available, you will see Jordie Barrett.
Ross KarlHOST
If available, you will see Quinn Tupaea.
Ross KarlHOST
You know, there are those guys that he's very much, you know, Tupuไvai, you're in there.
Ross KarlHOST
That-
Martin DevlinHOST
9, 10, 12, and 13 are called the axis, and then obviously the back three.
Martin DevlinHOST
So we stay with Rogan, McKenzie, Barrett, and Tupaea.
Martin DevlinHOST
And if you go through the last six tests, well, uh, all of those names have been involved in, in every single test.
Martin DevlinHOST
Right throughout South Africa, [laughs] and then Bledisloe, and now this one.
Nigel YaldenHOST
Donaldson, the pass is actually away from him.
Nigel YaldenHOST
It has been well read by Tupaea, but Donaldson's able to get that hand down and flick it up, which allows Jorgensen, who's come across from the right wing, puts right into space, nice dummy, good speed to the line, a perfect start.
Nigel YaldenHOST
A really outstanding opening nine minutes, both in terms of territory and position.
Nigel YaldenHOST
Borderline flawless save, I think the one knock-on.
Nigel YaldenHOST
There's a bit of a loose ball, but it's scooped up nicely by Tupou Vaii, and then it's Roigard at pace, and then it is just pick and go from Tupou Vaii.
Nigel YaldenHOST
Leroy Carter gets in there and goes one off.
Nigel YaldenHOST
Then it's Quinn Tupaea going pick and go.
Nigel YaldenHOST
Jordie Barrett then carries, and then it's just a little subtle.
Damian WarrenHOST
ball?Go for it, mate
Toby HarrisHOST
Quinn Tupaea
Damian WarrenHOST
Oh, mate, yeah.
Damian WarrenHOST
I think he-
Damian WarrenHOST
Everyone's talking about Jordie Barrett, how good Jordie Barrett is for, for, for absolute good reasons.
Toby HarrisHOST
Yep.
Damian WarrenHOST
But Quinn Tupaea is earning his moolah week in, week out.
Toby HarrisHOST
Earning his crust, isn't he?
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So, uh, yeah, he probably, uh, wouldn't call himself a tourist just yet.
D'Arcy WaldegraveHOST
All Black center Quinn Tupaea isn't at all taken aback by Damian "D Mac" McKenzie's outrageous performance in the team jersey for last week's kicking of the Wallabies at the Bledisloe Cup.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He's into everything.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
His work rate off the ball is massive.
LeeHOST
Yeah, good.
SurlyHOST
No Ardie Savea, no Luke Jacobson, no Quinn Tupaea, so expecting a few changes there.
SurlyHOST
I think Codie Taylor will come back into the team and captain it, but that comes out in about an hour and 51 minutes.
LeeHOST
Whoa.
