Taine TuaupikiGUEST
Yeah, like, it's something that when I was out there just, like, kicking some goals before, you don't get those Dan Carter memories at Mount Smart, but you do here for some weird reason.

Taine TuaupikiGUEST
And, like, I probably had it at the Caketon, like, earlier in the year, but, yeah, to, like, get those vibes is...
