developed players, you know, the next crop of super abi players,
the next crop of all Blacks, and then they will

what makes it so cool.

we go. Oscar Piastre pipped Lando Norris for second, with
the Carlis Saints Junior in fourth place overall in the
Ferrari Hamilton holding for Stappen into sixth place for Harver's
stapp and we will not be happy. Ferrari chose a
daring one stop strategy for Charles Leclerk and provising mid
race to Voltam in front of the McLaren's who had
(05:31):
the conventional two stop approach. He won by two point
six seconds. Norris has Verstappen's leading eight points to sixty

Wallabies took the match twenty nineteen in wet conditions. As
he captain Harry Wilson was elated.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
We stayed in there that second half. There was a
tough crin there for eighty minutes and just the way
I guess, our backs put us in good field session
lay that second after gives opportunity to wins. Awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yep, good, but maybe not good enough of the new
All Blacks. Of course, they were denied by late Springbok
comeback on Saturday night and their thirty one twenty seven
defeat in Johannesburg. Try a boy the spring box knocked
on over the line shouldn't have been allowed. The visitors
gave up a ten point lead with just over ten
minutes remaining. Springbok scored two late tries after replacement prop
(06:51):
Opo Tigahassi was yellow carded Following repeated team infringements, Scott
Barrett offered this assessment on Skysport.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
What onto the Springbok certainly showing the class team that
they are. We went quite good enough and you know
we're good for sixty two minutes and that's that's eighty
minute game.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Y well summed up first five Damien McKenzie and sisters
side is not far away from having things fall into place.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Sure, I think there were some great moments tonight with
our tech scored some good trial off set piece. I
think particularly early on in the first half, we looked
really good on our tech in soide of the ball,
and yeah, I think we had periods we were great.
So I don't think it's far far away in terms
of clicking and putting.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It all skinther It's hope they can put it all
together next weekend. Coach Scott Robinson's chosen to bite his
tongue on that crucial decision in their defeat. Box hooker
Bongie Mumbombe was controversially awarded a first half try when
