ShaunHOST
I, I don't really ...
ShaunHOST
Like, when it comes to our outside backs, that is generally not the biggest thing, and I know I've spoken about it specifically with Moodie at 13 and Rico Yoani at 13 because they are making errors that are, like, micro errors in that space.
ShaunHOST
They're not shooting up and closing off.
ShaunHOST
They're, like, out of position more often than not.
Mark WatsonPANELIST
You know, I, I've said this in the past, there used to be a time when you went away overseas from New Zealand, you'd come back a worse player.
Mark WatsonPANELIST
We've seen Rieko Ioane come back from Ireland probably in better form than he has been going there.
Mark WatsonPANELIST
We saw the same with Jordie Barrett.
Mark WatsonPANELIST
We can't give our players and our forwards in Super Rugby the, um, uh, uh, you know, the skill set that the Northern Hemisphere can out-
12 MINS LATER
Mark WatsonPANELIST
I think we've gotta move past now the Anton Lienert-Browns and the Beauden Barretts.
Mark WatsonPANELIST
I think we've gotta move past the Patrick Tuipulotus.
Mark WatsonPANELIST
Um, and I'll even say Rieko Ioane.
Mark WatsonPANELIST
I think we've gotta start looking for ...
Tony LyallHOST
... it'd be, but I mean, they can kind of already do it.
Tony LyallHOST
Rieko Ioane, he's cruised off to play the Leinster.
G LaneHOST
Yeah.
Tony LyallHOST
I just think it's hard for them to keep everyone together and sort of, uh, keep track of everyone as well when they're playing different leagues, see where they're actually at.
Steven KitshoffHOST
They put in, uh, key playmakers like Richie Mo'unga.
Steven KitshoffHOST
Um, they brought, uh, Rieko Ioane onto the bench, uh, Beauden Barrett onto the bench.
Steven KitshoffHOST
So for me, there was a clear sign f- that they're gonna try and run this game.
Steven KitshoffHOST
And going into halftime, 17-14, um, for the Boks, it was a real nail-biter.
PaulHOST
I would want him at 12 'cause he's a big ball carrier." And actually, he would see him as a bit of a liability in defense because actually, 'cause he's such a big physical 13, he's a little bit slower.
PaulHOST
And lots of, lots of teams, like, you know, you see, like New Zealand, they play, uh, Rieko Ioane at 13.
PaulHOST
You know, England have pl- tried playing Freeman there.
PaulHOST
It's quite traditional to play a winger there.

G LaneHOST
Powerful pukana work from, uh, Ioane at the front.
James McOnieGUEST
Siya mouthing stuff back at the All Blacks.
James McOnieGUEST

Thank you.
G LaneHOST
Just outside the 10 meter center field, Royds.
G LaneHOST
E- Rico Ioane on the field for Dobro.
G LaneHOST
And, uh, the counter ruck is good from South Africa.
DominicAUDIENCE
Anton Lienert-Brown dropping off a few.
DominicAUDIENCE
Um, Rieko Ioane probably coming back in there again from not playing in that international step-up level.
DominicAUDIENCE
Um, yeah, there, there was a few key, um, moments that I think a few of the guys just probably showed that they needed to take a bit of a, a step up, and they didn't.
Jason PineHOST
Yeah, I guess they always had to bring Richie Mo'unga back in at some stage, didn't they, Dominic? And, and Dave Rennie said, I'm sure you heard him say this, they always planned for this test to be the test they would bring him back.
Jamie WallHOST
Got another, a couple of old faces, uh, on the bench.
Jamie WallHOST
I'm sure they're not, not gonna mind me calling them old, but veteran players, Rieko Ioane and Beauden Barrett, um, coming back in.
Jamie WallHOST
What role do you see them having in this game?
James ParsonsGUEST
Energy, injection.
James ParsonsGUEST
Real spark plugs off the, off the bench.
James ParsonsGUEST
You, you, you really want to see Rieko Ioane at full fitness against a, a tiring South African defense, you know, punching holes, running around people.
James ParsonsGUEST
And then you want Beauden's voice.
James ParsonsGUEST
Like, honestly, I can't talk to you enough about how good his comms are, not just to his wingers, not just to his midfield, but all his forwards.
Zelim NelHOST
They found depth that I didn't know was quite there or as good.
Zelim NelHOST
To make eight changes and still put out this kind of st- starting 15, and then to have the likes of Beauden Barrett back on the bench, Rieko Ioane, that's 220-plus test caps there.
Mark KeohaneHOST
Yeah.
Mark KeohaneHOST
Yeah, and I, I mean, so I agree with you.
6 MINS LATER
Zelim NelHOST
It's not like a guy's getting his first te- first test cap.
Mark KeohaneHOST
Mm.
Zelim NelHOST
If you think of a Richie Mo'unga coming back at 10, Beauden Barrett, Rieko Ioane, those are big, big name players.
Zelim NelHOST
Uh- Who has the edge then, or is it the, the team that's settled, that's done it the week before and the week before that, or is it the team that's gonna go out and just they've got 80 minutes basically left, uh, of their season?
Andrew DickensHOST
They made two changes, but they've pretty much got the same team.
Andrew DickensHOST
But we've had some wholesale changes with Richie and, and Codie and of course Rieko Ioane and Beauden Barrett both, uh, coming back into the starting 23.
Andrew DickensHOST
So, uh, should we be a bit worried that we've got some newbies up against a very settled side in South Africa?
Sean FitzpatrickGUEST
I think, you know, I think Dave, Dave Rennie said, you know, in terms of Mo'unga, for example, that was, that was planned.
Sean FitzpatrickGUEST
... uh, 3-1, uh, which has got a, a real, not a great feel about it.
Sean FitzpatrickGUEST
But I'm, I'm really pleased where they're going.
Sean FitzpatrickGUEST
And, and this team that's playing on Saturday is a, is a quality team with, you know, see Rieko Ioane back on the bench, see Beauden Barrett on the bench, um, you know, Satini on the bench.
Sean FitzpatrickGUEST
We've got a real impact off the bench, which is gonna be vital.
