Mate, I can't wait to get to the game!
I know, I know.- I love seeing the All Blacks take on the Wallabies.
- I get the chills every time I see the haka.
- Don't we all, mate!
- So, how do you think the game's gonna pan out?
- I reckon it'll be a whitewash.
- The ABs are on a different level.
- Don't be too cocky, my friend!
- I think we'll win, but it'll be a lot tougher than you think.
- Yeah, nah, you could be right.
- But I do think we've got the wood on them.
- Well, of course, I wanna see our boys win. But I'd like to see a competitive game.
- I suppose you're right.
- I just hope the rain stays away.
- I saw the weather forecast on the telly.
- Said there might be a few light showers - but that's about it.
- Hope so, I want it to stay reasonably dry because we've got uncovered seats and I haven't got my brolly.
- Yeah, a few spits I can handle, but if it rains, I'll be gutted.
- Anyway, go the ABs.
- Woohoo!
