Mark StaffordHOST
It would have been two degrees, sideways rain, blowing a gale, horrific.
Mark StaffordHOST
Sam Whitelock was walking down the tunnel.
Mark StaffordHOST
Flip-flops.
Mark StaffordHOST
And I said to him, he was playing that night, I said to him, I said, I don't envy you in this, mate.
Jamie MackayHOST
So you're involved with this.
Jamie MackayHOST
FarmStrong ambassador Sam Whitelock is also involved with this.
Jamie MackayHOST
There's a man who knows how to perform under pressure.
Jamie MackayHOST
I still remember, Cain, because we're both keen rugby men, that line-out take, and I was there in 2015 in the semi-final against South Africa.
Jamie MackayHOST
He took a line-out take which eventually, effectively, won us the game, beat South Africa, got us through to the final.
Jamie MackayHOST
Under pressure, Sam Whitelock delivered.
Cain BriscoeGUEST
You couldn't ask for a better person to pass on their knowledge, really, could you? He's been in the arena that very few people get to experience, and he's delivered every time, hasn't he? So it's absolute gold having his input into it.
Jamie MackayHOST
So you guys are putting on webinars for any potential candidates or people who want the support?

SurlyHOST
It's just pretty wild eh? And when I think back a couple years, I actually thought this was a position that we lacked depth in and now it's flipped completely.
HenryHOST
Yeah, well, when you lose Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock, two generational players, and then Scott Barrett gets injured for a whole season, Super Bowl season, you're going, shit, what are we going to do? But it's incredible the amount of depth we've got there.
HenryHOST
He basically said that Patrick Tupelotu could have been selected, but his calf was 50-50.
HenryHOST
It just started running, but there's no point when you've got that many stacked locks to take him.
Jamie HannahGUEST
Yeah, sort of, yeah, got bits and pieces from different coaches.
Jamie HannahGUEST
Yeah, Scooter and Sam Whitelock, obviously, have been pretty massive for me over the last few years.
Jamie HannahGUEST
Having them there constantly to be able to bounce ideas off and see what drills they're doing and how they're trying to grow their game.
Jamie HannahGUEST
Those guys have been pretty helpful.
Dave RennieSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But yeah, he'll definitely feature on tour.
speaker_2CORRESPONDENT
Someone who's featured for you, Sam Whitelock, has kind of fallen off the or out of favor in, in recent times.
speaker_2CORRESPONDENT
What, what are you not seeing from, from Sam, uh, as- as-
Dave RennieSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Um, yeah, look, geez, he's unlucky because he's played a lot of good footy for us.
Steven HarrisGUEST
As well for the Blues.
Steven HarrisGUEST
Admittedly, I'm a losing end, but I think around about that time, there was a guy called Sam Whitelock playing for the Crusaders.
Steven HarrisGUEST
He was always handy when it came to playing the Blues.
Steven HarrisGUEST
And Alan Craig, just been outstanding this year, generally around the paddock, calls all the line-outs.
SearleyHOST
spot though, that's fine.
SearleyHOST
Sam Whitelock.
SearleyHOST
He's going to be there.
SearleyHOST
What about George Whitelock? Well, he's a non-Whitelock, but also a good football player.
Kim GraylingGUEST
[laughs]
speaker_0HOST
... with Sam Whitelock, and what a great coup to have him as a speaker.
Kim GraylingGUEST
Yeah.
Kim GraylingGUEST
Yeah, no, we have a big celebration coming up.
Brodie RetallickGUEST
Uh, for people that know what skin folds are, and the first time I did my skin folds in Hawks Bay, they were 227.
Brodie RetallickGUEST
[laughs] I said to a nutritionist, "Oh, is that any good?" And she just looked at me and said, "No." So [laughs] I think, uh, playing alongside with Sam Whitelock, we always had that competition to try and outdo each other, and probably made us stay there as long as we did.
Brodie RetallickGUEST
Oh, it was just like, well, it's either me or you.
Ric SalizzoPANELIST
Chip, Brodie Retallick scored all these tries.
23 MINS LATER
Brodie RetallickGUEST
Yeah.But, uh, yeah, having just done that and sort of acknowledging that I'd played well when, you know, I was in my, I was up to my third season, I thought, "Geez, I've...
Brodie RetallickGUEST
You know, I'm here now," and I just wanted to keep pushing on and getting better really.
Brodie RetallickGUEST
I think, uh, playing alongside with Sam Whitelock, we always had that competition to try and outdo each other, and probably made us stay there as long as we did.

When, when did you, uh, you know, decide...
