00:00For me, I was brought up on Australia and New Zealand, you know, in the 70s and 80s.
00:06And when I remember getting the job, my wife said to me,
00:10because we had the asset against Australia, I'm thinking,
00:13I can't believe how lucky I am.
00:15And then when it got cancelled with everything that happened,
00:18I was absolutely devastated.
00:20So to get this on again, and for them to travel here, it's unbelievable.
00:24I'm so excited, I can't wait to do that.
00:26I know you're really keen on the international game,
00:28we've seen the Pacific Champs has been a success,
00:31Sunday was a fantastic occasion,
00:33it just seems like it's rolling on at the minute like a snowball, doesn't it?
00:36Yeah, absolutely.
00:37And we need to keep that momentum going with a really good calendar,
00:41and I thought Sunday was fantastic,
00:44but it's going to be even better here on Saturday.
00:48So if we can keep doing that and get the asset next year,
00:50then the World Cup, I think we're on a great roll.
00:52And everybody recognises that a really good stand-up international calendar
00:57is great for our sport.
