00:00Welcome to the Rugby Review Show we're at the Stoop Harlequins you've just
00:03beaten Saracens and the lads have just learned don't ask for an autograph
00:06unless you've got a pen that works here hang on hang on here there you go there
00:09you go use that one there all right well I want it back that was expensive no
00:13one's going home because it was such a huge win for Harlequins today it's been
00:17a long long time since they've beat Saracens in the premiership so this is
00:20what happens at the end of a game the players come out to meet the fans and
00:23they sign autographs it's really quite lovely and people kind of hang out and
00:26have a bit of a chat and then you often get players coming out from opposing
00:29teams having a bit of a chat with each other this is Al our sound guy not as
00:32quick as he used to be gets in shot now and again and look it's been a brilliant
00:36derby weekend so he wants to kind of celebrate the great thing about this
00:39league and it is rivalries and derbies and those good great days when it's not
00:43about the league table it's just winning against a team you don't like very much
00:47Lyle your greatest derby day remind me well I think in the in the old days of
00:51Beats of Max television I think Quinn's and and was when they were both London
00:55clubs was the big derby you know they really didn't like each other and maybe
00:59debut against Quinn's played against him an awful lot and thankfully got on
01:03the better side of him but we ended up playing Leicester a lot more in the in
01:06the derby at Twickenham was there a certain player who you just couldn't
01:09wait to kind of get your hands on and go up against well I think when you put not
01:12the referees not there when you play for your clubs obviously people like Jason
01:15Leonard and and guys that you you meet up with in England camp and then you
01:18sort of forget the year your club rivalries when you know when you're
01:21playing against each other so you'd have no problem stepping all over me
01:24Are you lads waiting for a boss or something?
01:30What's your favourite rivalry?
01:32A speed date with a great dog
01:34What are you looking for?
01:36Trice
01:38Derbys
01:40I can't have my back turned to the legends
01:42I made my debut my full debut against Wasp when I scored on my debut so I love
01:46playing against Wasp especially early 2000s Lawrence captained them
01:49beautifully, Heineken Champions Cup, Premiership so to be able to play
01:54against them and kind of spot that rivalry and score that was that was cool
01:57Your hand was on my bottom for that whole chat you know that I liked it
02:00Benny how about you?
02:02Just hold hands
02:04Stop it boys, I like it but stop
02:06I'm number three from Liverpool
02:08What are you looking for? Do you like cinema or theatre?
02:12Depends what sort
02:14Carry on, quickly
02:16Quick rivalries
02:18Lawrence mentioned it Wasps and us always had a decent rivalry
02:22There's a picture that I have on my bedroom wall actually
02:25It's quite nice isn't it?
02:27Lawrence is pulling the leg in nice and close to an area of his body
02:30and Koz has got him by the throat but that was a fairly standard
02:33that was sort of our expansive rugby of that era
02:36but yeah there was some decent battles going on but that was always nice too
02:40my mates going at it
02:42The smile on Jarno's face, absolutely loving that frick out of there
02:44Just see Austin's forehead poking through
02:46the size of Austin's forehead
02:48he's probably about 20 metres away to be honest
02:50You can see Austin's forehead from the space station actually
02:53I don't know if you know that, it's a true fact
02:55How about you, your favourite rivalry?
02:57Oh my god, how long have we got?
02:59I've got a few, I've played in a lot of them
03:01It's got to be the Midlands and getting my head taken off
03:04My poor mum's got to watch me having my head punched off my shoulders
03:07It's got to be the highlight
03:09Either that or me pulling Alessandro Tualangi off the pitch by his hair
03:12might be another highlight
03:14That's such a crazy move by the way
03:16but let's talk about the punch, let's have a little look at it
03:18I mean, ridiculous, but how did this feel?
03:20because it looked like a good one
03:22Well I think it was a bit unjust for me
03:24in taking off the ball
03:26but it still doesn't sit quite right with me
03:28I was actually having a Sunday dinner the day after this
03:31with 12 stitches in each eyebrow
03:33and I'm sat at a table eating away
03:35and there's a guy stood at the bar
03:37and he's watching the news
03:39and he's like, what has happened to that lad?
03:41and it was me, sat there eating my Sunday roast
03:43watching me get my head taken off
03:46You certainly got your revenge in early
03:48with the way you tickled his back
03:50Brilliant
03:52Do you know they actually changed
03:54the video referee laws off the back of that?
03:56Really? Because of you?
03:58Wayne Barnes, they realised they'd messed up after it
04:00and when they went into it
04:02You kept on getting banned
04:04Not the first time a few laws have been changed
04:06because of you actually
04:08Lads, thank you very much for sharing those memories
04:10It's been such a memorable weekend, hasn't it?
04:12Here's a little reminder of what happened
04:14Well, it's a special place to be
04:16on derby day
04:18But which is the biggest derby in Milan right now?
04:20It is showtime
04:22Sale looking to inflict more pain
04:24The hands are slick, Robock 1v1
04:26What a stack
04:28Sale ruthless
04:30What East Midlands derby
04:32dreams have made of
04:34And Hibatoye will have
04:36his hat-trick
04:38The most topsy-turvy
04:40of affairs
04:433-3 for a score
04:45A really important one
04:47Of course it's fighting
04:49Big derby weekend, it's been magic
04:51Yeah, look, it was a brilliant weekend
04:53right across the board
04:55But I have to say, what a brilliant way to finish
04:57It was just so, so exciting at the end there
04:59So, we're inside the tunnel here
05:01Sorry, how are you?
05:03Good to see you
05:05It's all very relaxed, I have to say
05:07Hey boys, how's it going?
05:09That was sensational stuff
05:11Yeah, a bit knackered
05:13But yeah, over the moon
05:15It's been far too long since we've been in Saracen
05:17So, yeah, just
05:19I don't know, overriding emotions, just happiness
05:21There's a slope on this floor, right?
05:23There we go
05:25Let's rebalance the books
05:27It looked very physical out there
05:29Yeah, I mean, it always is against them
05:31They've got some big, strong ball-carriers
05:33But we got stuck in, we tried
05:35And we managed to get in front of them and get in the way
05:37Talk to me about the rivalry
05:39Yeah, I mean, it's, as long as I've been here
05:41It's always been a big, big game
05:43The London Derby
05:45And we've often come second best
05:47Been the ugly sister to our North London rivals
05:49So, you get the emotion of it
05:51Every single game
05:53And the last couple of years have been
05:55A few poor performances
05:57So, we're looking to right those wrongs
05:59And, like you said, get stuck in
06:01And the emotions are always running high
06:03I'm excited
06:05I'm excited
06:07The emotions are always running high
06:09I mean, look, you're a young fella
06:11Do you have to be told about the rivalry?
06:13Does it have to be instilled in your head?
06:15Do you have to be brainwashed to really dislike them?
06:17I don't know about that
06:19Like Chis said, it's just
06:21We've been on the wrong end of the scoreline too many times
06:23So, I suppose this week
06:25We just turn the focus onto ourselves
06:27And, I don't know
06:29Even what to say
06:31I'm just over the moon, to be honest
06:33I don't think I've beaten Saracen
06:35I'm particularly happy
06:37I'm watching you celebrate there
06:39Yeah, but you're mauling Saracen to touch
06:41That's such a big deal, right?
06:43I get it, we get it
06:45Because they're a big physical side, right?
06:47Yeah, exactly
06:49We knew we had to front up
06:51We're probably most pleased about the defence
06:53And the change we've made over the pre-season
06:55We had to celebrate the small wins
06:57I suppose I made that one look like
06:59A slightly bigger one than it was
07:01Just emotion taken over
07:03And the music, by the way, coming out of the dressing room
07:05It sounds really awful, who chooses the music?
07:07I think it's Nick David today
07:09It's a battle of who can get on it the quickest
07:11What is it? What's he playing in there?
07:13I don't know, he loves dance and house
07:15It's not my cup of tea
07:17We're too old for that
07:19Have a great Sunday
07:21Sunday's the best day to go for a few
07:23Now, Kitman, right?
07:25Very important role in every single club
07:27Just getting everything sorted out
07:29But also organising the music player in there
07:31How are you?
07:33Great, thanks for asking
07:35None of the players ever ask me
07:37That's our job, isn't it, the Kitman
07:39Ask everyone who they are
07:41Just to remind everyone
07:43A 3 o'clock kick-off, what time are you here at the club?
07:45Depends, really
07:47Some games I'm here at 8 o'clock, half-eight in the morning
07:49Prepping up, done by about half-eleven, twelve o'clock
07:51And then just calm before the storm
07:53It's like having kids at home
07:55They all go to playgroup and school
07:57And you get the house perfect
07:59And then they come home from school
08:01And destroy the place
08:03My OCD, it's a nightmare
08:05It's like kids have just put £10 of Semtex off
08:07In the changing rooms
08:09Constantly cleaning up after them
08:11Semtex, I've no idea what you're talking about
08:13Tell me this, who's the quirkiest
08:15In that dressing room?
08:17Who causes you the most problems?
08:19I'd say Lennox
08:21Sometimes Joe Marlow
08:23But he's a big pussycat at heart
08:25So Lennox has taken over from Joe
08:27What kind of stuff does he get up to in there?
08:29He's always the last one out of the changing rooms
08:31And he just sits there and chills
08:33Do you remember back in the day
08:35I remember when Sale used to play back in Stockport
08:37And Sebastian Chabal was playing
08:39And you'd go into the dressing room
08:41Like an hour and a half after the final whistle
08:43And he'd be sitting there with his top off and a pair of jeans
08:45Smoking cigarettes, do you remember?
08:47Yeah, I remember that, but none of that here
08:49No, he just sits in his boxer shorts probably
08:51With a towel round his waist
08:53Chats and chills, has a few beers
08:56And then he's just, you know, slow
08:58Nothing wrong with that
09:00Hey look, it's great talking to you
09:02Thank you for all the work you do
09:04And letting us put cameras in there and do all that kind of stuff
09:06It's fantastic
09:08Now you better go take care of those kids
09:10They're smashing up the place, Woody
09:12Oh, and tell Nick Evans
09:14That he's doing kicking with myself and Benny K
09:16Here's the big question
09:18I brought my wrong shorts with me today
09:20I brought my Gaelic football shorts
09:22They're the Wicklow colours
09:24Can I wear them for this kicking thing?
09:26Send in your votes please
09:28To your TNT social, thanks very much
09:30We'll see you after the break
09:32They're very tight
09:40Welcome back to the Rugby Review Show
09:42Benny, you all ready for the old kicking thing?
09:44Oh yeah
09:46Nick Evans said we're going to do some tackling
09:48You don't have any shorts on yet?
09:50No, I can't get them on yet
09:52We'll talk about this in a minute, ok?
09:54Chris Evans, our Hollywood star
09:56Our version of The Rock as well
09:58We've also got the real ones, have a look at this
10:22The new movie Red One
10:24Which showcases the three of us working together as a team
10:26To save Christmas
10:28How did I adjust it to reality?
10:30No more questions, now get in
10:32Yeah, I can see the scrums now trying to get into the cinemas
10:34I have no idea if that makes any sense, but it sounds damn cool
10:36Nice job, Chris
10:38Don't miss the Autumn Nation series on TNT Sports
10:40And Discovery Plus
10:42We need to prepare for the possibility of no Christmas
10:46So Chris, which team are you going to back this season?
10:48Uh, the Red One
10:50Wales
10:56I'm going for the green ones, how about you?
10:58I'll go for the white ones
11:00Yeah, you? Red
11:02Red? Ok, I'll go for the blue ones
11:04There you go, the Autumn Nation series
11:06That's coming your way very soon indeed
11:08Now though, it's all about the Gallagher Premiere
11:10I feel weird just standing, should we walk?
11:12Should we do that?
11:14Because Chris, the cameraman, the airbag's gone off a bit over summer
11:16So we need to get him a bit of exercise
11:18Look, it was a great Derby weekend
11:20Some games not as close as we would have hoped
11:22Let's start with Sale against Newcastle
11:24Tough time for Newcastle at the moment
11:26It's very tough, they started the first two games ok actually
11:28But obviously the loss at home to Leicester
11:30Really took it out of them
11:32Sale looked really, really good
11:34Aaron Reid again with his pace
11:36It's been amazing this year
11:38But it became a bit of a training run
11:40And that'll be a big worry for Steve Diamond
11:42How does he get a little bit of confidence back into his team
11:44Because they are going to be struggling for the rest of the season
11:46It was a fantastic offload
11:48Over the top from Joe Carpenter
11:50Man of the match, another try for Reid
11:52But from a Newcastle perspective
11:54We need them at least being able to
11:56Come to away games and be able to put up
11:58Some sort of performance
12:00It was too easy for Sale
12:02Roebuck absolutely brilliant again
12:04Loving those high balls, those diagonal kicks
12:06Him and England, what do you think in autumn Chris?
12:08Both wingers were amazing
12:10Reid's played for Scotland in the summer
12:12Roebuck is just so strong in the air
12:14You can gain such momentum
12:16By winning those kicks back
12:18So it's very important
12:20But we need a fastest man race at some point
12:22We've got some quick players right now
12:24Reid, running room, Radwan
12:26Has not happened all the time
12:28But then Radwan did get back to him
12:30So I think Reid's footwork
12:32Looked a little bit more sharp
12:34But then Radwan did have the top speed to get back to him
12:36A weekend for wingers
12:38A lot of tries from wingers this weekend
12:40Exeter against Bristol
12:42It's a tough time for them at the moment
12:44Rob must be scratching his head
12:46Yeah, they've lost a lot of experience
12:48In the squad
12:50Rob speaks every weekend
12:52You can hear it in his voice
12:54That he's just trying to get his message across
12:56They need to manage the games better
12:58They did the same against Leicester
13:00They lost it in the latter stages of the game
13:02They've done that again on the weekend
13:04But it's not for trying
13:06They score tries all over the place
13:08Fabio Imbosso's on the score sheet again
13:11Ibi Toye got Hattrick
13:13In 9 minutes
13:15Not beating my record
13:17That's been great though
13:19There's so many good wingers
13:21Out there, we've just talked about the two from sale
13:23Ibi Toye has been outstanding
13:25Brown Bampo here
13:27Gets his first couple as well
13:29And then on the other side we know Fahey
13:31So it's going to be fascinating over the next couple of years
13:33I love what Pat Lamb said after the game
13:35He said we knew we could score 3 tries in 18 minutes
13:37I love the confidence
13:39Of the Bristol attack at the moment
13:41It's brilliant Ben
13:43Yeah I think that's the difference between the two teams
13:45Bristol have been winning games that no one would have thought
13:47They would away from home
13:49Their away form has been unbelievable
13:51Exeter, you just feel that confidence has gone from them
13:53They should have seen that game out
13:55But with the question marks they've had over the last couple of weeks
13:57They couldn't
13:59A bundle load of tries in this West Country derby
14:01Gloucester decent in the first half
14:03Yeah both teams started so well
14:05No one really wanted to take it
14:07Which I'm all for a load of tries
14:09So I didn't mind it at all
14:11It's when it got later on in the game
14:13You just feel as though Gloucester
14:15And the forward pack really started to take
14:17The game away from Gloucester
14:19But Gloucester
14:21They've got a plan, they're trying to put it into place
14:23It's going to take some time
14:25But it's just how many points before you start finding wins
14:27Really important in this game
14:29That Bath did find a way back
14:31A lot of people making them favourites
14:33At the beginning of the season
14:35And to have wrestled back
14:37From a dark place early on in the game
14:39That will give them so much confidence
14:41That actually we are the real deal this year
14:43Finn to Shednill said that tweet
14:45Which I really like
14:47Because when he silenced the Shed last year
14:49With his finger to his lips after getting that kick
14:51He's been absolute box office again
14:53But this try
14:55And as well just the hair and the breeze
14:57And slow-mo
14:59Very similar to me
15:01I tell you who was outstanding
15:03For Bath he was so good
15:05Steve Balfour will be so happy
15:07With seeing him play this
15:09Because it's an area again that we need
15:11For England to get some momentum
15:13And he's going to provide that
15:15He starts for England right in your eyes
15:17Leicester Tigers welcome back
15:19That was a proper old school Leicester Tigers performance
15:21They were scarily good and physical
15:23Yeah it was and made good decisions
15:25As you saw there
15:27That's something from the training ground
15:29But really good tap penalty move
15:31I think that Leicester are going to try and drive it over
15:33Nothing flash
15:35And they end up with a try
15:37Saints will be really disappointed
15:39They had plenty of opportunities to get over the line
15:41And they were held up on a couple of occasions
15:43But it was a very dominant Leicester performance
15:45And probably Leicester will have needed that
15:47With how things have gone over the last couple of years
15:49With Saints
15:51And I don't think Saints are on their way out
15:53By any means
15:55They've still got plenty in there
15:57But they need to get back to what they were doing
15:59And get their quality of their defence
16:01And their physicality allied to what we know
16:03They can do with ball in hand
16:05And we're only hearing good things about Michael Chekka
16:07And the effect he's having on the team
16:09Big big win for Harlequins
16:11And the style and the manner of the win
16:13Is even bigger isn't it?
16:15Yeah they've had a really mixed start to the season
16:17So they will take so much
16:19You see some of the younger players reaction
16:21After the game
16:23How happy they were to get this result for the team today
16:25So the defence won them the game
16:27They've had to face some adversity
16:29And Saracen's coming back to it
16:31They managed to keep them at bay
16:33Lee Halfpenny was showing all his experience
16:35From the backfield
16:37Just covering kicks
16:39Which Saracen on another day would probably win back
16:41Marcus Smith, outstanding again
16:43Just creating breaks
16:45He's so sharp in attack
16:47He's another player that we hope to see
16:49For England in a few weeks
16:51And we're hearing Andy Christie
16:53Well he went to hospital with that lower leg injury
16:56Gallagher Premiership
16:58Bristol top of the charts
17:00Going to lower the points
17:02Plus 33 for them 17 points
17:04Just one ahead of Saracen
17:06Bath and Leicester all making the top 4
17:08You feel that's right at the moment
17:10That looks right from those performances
17:12It's weird to see Exeter down at 9
17:14They haven't won yet this season
17:16I'm sure they will at some stage
17:18And Newcastle minus 100 when it comes to the points difference
17:20Steve Dime will do all he can to sort that out
17:22We had some interesting decisions
17:24The one that you kind of animated
17:26Was on Tommy Raffaella
17:28And it was a tackle height issue
17:30It's not actually a tackle height
17:32It's foul play
17:34Because he starts on the floor
17:36But he's actually in really good position
17:38Low down
17:40And then his knee touches the floor
17:42But he's trying to get low
17:44And if you look at the height
17:46That Sam Graham goes in at
17:48That's where we're looking at
17:50If he goes any higher
17:52He's telling players to go low
17:54Even if his knee momentarily
17:56I think that law was brought in
17:58About not playing on the floor
18:00For people out of the game
18:02That then suddenly tackle someone that's going past
18:04It wasn't that it was particularly dangerous
18:06I take the point that you can say
18:08He got an advantage because he goes to his knee first
18:10But it's fraction of a second
18:12And I just think if we're telling players to go lower
18:14We want them to go lower
18:16And he's trying to make a tackle
18:18At sort of thigh height
18:20I don't think anyone looks at that
18:22After the game and goes
18:24Oh that should have been a yellow card
18:26Why is the TMO not coming in?
18:28Can we look at that again?
18:30Because actually it looks like really good chop tackle technique
18:32And we see a lot of that
18:34We see a lot of it in international rugby
18:36So when we look at this again
18:38What are you seeing as the problem here?
18:40Or do you see a problem with this tackle at all?
18:42I think in the game it's very hard for the referee
18:44Because the TMO came in and he didn't have the footage
18:46The referee didn't have access to this
18:48So it's very hard for him to make a rugby based decision
18:50The TMO is on his own
18:52In the truck making the decision
18:54Without conferring on the referee
18:56So that makes that bit really hard
18:58So he's actually not seen it
19:00So we've got a TMO on his own making the decision
19:02A split second
19:04There's a bad injury
19:06I think maybe he could be guilty of the outcome
19:08Based more than what he did
19:10TMO's have said they're going to do that
19:12They've said if it's a bad injury
19:14It's likely to play into the crock rolls
19:16Onto a knee
19:18And they're badly injured
19:20That's going to be seen as extreme danger
19:22I think that is just a rugby incident
19:24We saw a couple of them happen today
19:26Where a player goes to the knee
19:28But because this is one here
19:30This is a drop to the knee
19:32To try and get low enough to make the tackle
19:34From Finn Baxter
19:36No one's saying that's dangerous
19:38But had Maui come in at a slightly strange angle
19:40And ended up getting injured
19:42Perhaps that might have been a yellow card
19:44They're looking for reasons
19:46To send people off the field
19:48When they're trying to do what World Rugby have said
19:50Change their behaviour
19:52Fair observation
19:54You need to get those balls ready
19:56Because we're going to have a kicking demo
19:58Just check out this outfit
20:00I don't know if he knows
20:02Tyrone Green can see what is this situation
20:04Look at the trousers
20:06What are they even made of?
20:08No socks
20:10What's going on here?
20:12What's going on?
20:14I've tried something new
20:16Mixed reviews
20:18I've heard
20:20It's lovely
20:22It's so Christmassy
20:24It's a bit white though
20:26Easily get dirty
20:28Good to see you
20:30You're brave
20:32I want to tell you a story about warring families
20:34The D'Aglicis and the Williams
20:36It all looks fine on the outside
20:38But once they close their doors
20:40It's absolute carnage
20:42Because some of the families support Saracens
20:44And some of the families support Harlequins
20:46These are the two Robs
20:48And I tell you something
20:50Christmas Day is bad
20:52But Derby Day, it's a nightmare
20:56Hi, we're the Williams and the D'Aglicis family
20:58Hi, my name's Rob
21:00I'm Zoe
21:02I'm Tish
21:04I'm Rob
21:06I'm Aaron
21:09I'm Saracens
21:11I'm a Saracens fan
21:13I'm a Harlequins supporter
21:15And we're one big happy family
21:17Until it comes to Derby Day
21:19Saracens
21:21Saracens
21:23Saracens
21:25We've supported Harlequins for about 12 years now
21:27We just like the way that Harlequins were playing
21:29For me, we went to
21:31One of the Twickenham doubleheaders
21:33I wasn't actually a rugby fan at the time
21:35So it was a neutral experience for me
21:37These guys were Harlequins supporters
21:39And I thought just to
21:41Break the mould, I thought it would be fun to
21:43Muddy the waters and become a Saracens fan
21:48Over Sunday dinner, there can be a few
21:50P's being flicked
21:52Especially if results have not gone our team's way
21:54But yeah, overall
21:56We're quite civil
21:58One, two
22:00Three
22:02Surprise
22:04Yeah
22:07My best Derby memory
22:09Would be the 2022 semi-final
22:11Quinns took the lead fairly early
22:13Danny Kerr was sort of geeing up our supporters
22:15Which we didn't like
22:17We came back and won that game
22:19Quite comfortably and to deny
22:21Your local rivals the opportunity to go
22:23To Twickenham, that was pretty special
22:27We went to one at Wembley
22:29And we won 42-14
22:31And Rob had driven us
22:33There with Harlequins all over
22:35His car and we were
22:37Ragging him all the way to the back of the car
22:39Yeah, we won
22:41He was like, yeah, well I wouldn't be too noisy
22:43Because you're going to walk home otherwise
22:55So my worst Derby day memory
22:57Probably the 2019 away game at the Stoop
22:59Salary cap scandal
23:01Just sort of reared its head
23:03So yeah, that was pretty raw
23:07I don't really have any
23:09Bad days at the Derby
23:11Because Saracen's always winning
23:17We try and get to the games in person
23:19But if not, we'll be in this room
23:21Yeah, they're certainly gloating
23:23From this lot
23:25If they get a rare win
23:27This room's just electric
23:29When we're watching it all together
23:31Luckily, last few wins
23:33Yeah, they've been
23:35In the black and red
23:37Normally we just sit with our tails in between our legs
23:39Having a couple of glasses of red wine
23:41And just chilling out thinking
23:43Maybe next time
23:45That banter makes it even more special
23:47Especially watching it
23:49And all of a sudden there's a knock on
23:51Or there's a yellow card
23:53And you're all disputing it
23:55The neighbour knows what the score is
23:57Before we've even told him
23:59I think it's good for the children
24:01As well, so that they can find
24:03How to actually behave
24:05It's working, they're sharing
24:07Sharing crisps
24:09Sharing rugby teams
24:17I have got one good moment though, haven't I?
24:19It's got to be when the Cornish Pirates
24:21Beat Saracens
24:23And I always bring them up
24:25Yeah, I know
24:27I keep rubbing it in their face
24:29Because I've got a nice little poster on my bar
24:31So when we sit there having a little drink
24:33I think, you lost me
24:35But I'll rip that off in a minute
24:37No you won't
24:41Can't wait for the game against Queens
24:43This is definitely the biggest game of the season
24:45When we're in this room, or at the stadium
24:47It's always nice to turn up at theirs
24:49And make their day a little bit more miserable
24:51So fingers crossed we can get the win
24:53And it'll be a long drive home for this one
24:57Can you tell who's who with a miserable face?
24:59Not miserable, miserable face
25:01Let's start with miserable face, Rob
25:03I can't really complain
25:05Fair play to Queens
25:07They were just incredible
25:09On the day
25:11And Sari's just made of
25:13Numerous errors, that's all I can put it down to
25:15You know you've said all this out loud
25:17And he's going to use this for the next year
25:19To get back in your face, you know that, right?
25:21I mean, he's had five years of silence
25:23So it's
25:25It's about time they had something to chant about
25:27So, yeah, let them have it
25:29Hey, you were good today
25:31What a great game, fantastic
25:33The players were absolutely brilliant
25:35Five years, we've done it
25:37We've booed them over, showdown next
25:39Oh that's, of course, yeah
25:41What I enjoyed
25:43About that victory today though
25:45Was the defensive side of it
25:47It wasn't like old school Harlequins
25:49Just kind of being a bit loose in the attack
25:51It was a very controlled defensive effort, wasn't it?
25:54Fantastic, yeah, brilliant
25:56Really good
25:58So what's it going to do to your season, do you think?
26:0011-0 Premiership Final
26:02Do you hear this?
26:04Do you hear what he's saying?
26:06Look at the face on you
26:08Yeah, I haven't really got much to say, to be honest
26:10I think Quinn's a team that could really contest it today
26:12And
26:14So this is you guys during the game
26:16That's you, being very happy
26:18And
26:20Yeah, well, you're looking
26:22Not a happy bunny at all
26:24Oh, very grumpy smile
26:26But that's the kind of smile that says
26:28I'm going to rip your face off, mate
26:30Yeah, pretty much
26:32Literally just nudging all game
26:34What is he doing with that hat?
26:36Embarrassing behaviour
26:38But you know what, like I said
26:40Fair play to Quinn's, they were the better side today
26:42And yeah, we'll
26:44Look to get our own back at the showdown
26:46Lads, it's only a game, okay?
26:48Happy families when you go home
26:50It's been great, Craig
26:52Thanks so much, take care of yourself
26:54We've got a bit of a kicking demo
26:56And a class for all of you as well
26:58Nick Evans, former Quinn's
27:00And All Black 10
27:02Why is he not looking forward to this?
27:04He's got Benny and I to teach us
27:06So we can teach you how to kick properly
27:08I think it's going to be amazing
27:10Yeah, well, maybe not, we'll see in a minute
27:16Welcome back to the Stoop
27:18It's been a great weekend of derby rugby
27:20But now it's a chance for all of you at home to play the game
27:22It doesn't matter what level you are, how old you are
27:24Whether you're a good, bad, we don't care
27:26Because Nick Evans is going to teach us all how to be
27:28More or less professional athletes
27:30In seven minutes
27:32Yeah, you're up for that?
27:34Like Benny, obviously
27:36I've got the Preds on
27:38I don't, by the way
27:40I'm a rubbish rugby player
27:42He was a good rugby player, but he's a second row
27:44So we represent a lot of the population out there
27:46For folks who are kicking a ball on a weekend
27:48Having a bit of a laugh
27:50Teach us some of the basics
27:52That's what we want
27:54What do you want to start with?
27:56Two important things
27:58One would be the drop
28:02I did a lot of Aussie rules coming through
28:04When I was in New Zealand
28:06Played Aussie rules, went to Australia
28:08Did a bit through their academy
28:10Me and a couple of guys
28:12What we learned around was a lot of drop work
28:14The key around is getting
28:16Same hand over the same foot
28:18Heading towards the same target
28:20Dropping the ball on the floor
28:22A lot of work on that
28:24We would go around
28:26Just walking around
28:28Just making sure you're getting
28:30The hand to the foot
28:32To the drop
28:34If you start dropping on the outside
28:36The ball's going to go to the right
28:38Drop on the inside
28:40Get a couple of balls
28:42As you can see already
28:44You're dropping it like I used to do
28:46When I was four
28:48You're doing this
28:50You're doing that
28:52If you can hold onto the ball
28:54Try if you can
28:56I used to get my ring finger down the seam line
28:58Watch how much control I have on the ball
29:00Just dropping it onto the ball
29:02Almost placing it onto my foot
29:04That gives you a real consistent drop
29:06It's like 50 years
29:08Of retraining required
29:10What happens if you don't have a consistent drop
29:12You can't have trust in your kicking process
29:14Because your drop's going to be on the inside of the foot
29:16Which means it's going to go to the left
29:18On the outside of the foot
29:20That's probably one of the key things
29:22Any young kid out there
29:24Even just starting to warm up
29:26Or even around the house
29:28Walking up through the corridors
29:30How often can you get that consistent drop
29:32It should be right over the foot
29:34Hand to foot
29:36That'll give you a real consistent drop
29:39That's really breakable around the house
29:41Best to have a ball in there
29:43It's good positive reinforcement
29:45If you're breaking windows
29:47You're probably not getting your drop right
29:49It was positive reinforcement
29:51You might bite a couple of ones on that
29:53We're middle of the pitch here
29:55Say we wanted to stick one in the corner
29:57Do you go spiral
29:59Do you go end over end
30:01I'll come over here
30:03Me being Aussie rules
30:05Coming from Aussie rules
30:07I wasn't the Rona or Gareth
30:09Sitting in the pocket
30:11For me I had way more control
30:13On that where are you looking to hit the ball
30:15Which part of the ball
30:17There's a young kid
30:19Who's got a chance to make it in the game
30:21And he needs a lesson
30:23It's Marcus
30:25You're from London
30:27Come and see how the pros do it
30:29This is Nick Evans
30:31Actually
30:33He's just told me about ball placement
30:35And how when you're a kid
30:37You tend to do this funny little lifty thing
30:39What did you do when you were a kid
30:41With the ball
30:43I used to lob it around all the time
30:45I've got two younger brothers
30:47We used to play all sorts of ball games
30:49Football, Rugby, Cricket
30:51I think there's a lot of transferable skills
30:53In terms of Rugby ball
30:55My natural thing was to lob it up
30:57And smack it as hard as I could
30:59We're going to go for the corner
31:01What kick are you going to teach us
31:03I'm going to get you to do something
31:05When I was coming through
31:07A little bit of a common mistake would be
31:09If I'm kicking to Ashley
31:11Who's about 20-30 metres away
31:13It's quite easy sometimes to keep it over your foot
31:15But as you go to kick it
31:17You come out of it
31:19Your weight goes backwards
31:21And what happens is you suddenly lose sight of the ball
31:23As you go through you come up
31:25I want you to try here
31:27It might be hard
31:29When you kick land on your kicking foot
31:31So when you kick
31:33This is going to get you to kick
31:35And you're going to kick and land on your kicking foot
31:37And that's going to get you through the ball
31:39So if I kick
31:41And kick through
31:43I'm going to land on my kicking foot
31:45Nearly got straight to it
31:47I've got trainers on
31:49So as you go through
31:51Try and kick
31:53Watch your ankle
31:55It's amazing
31:57You're looking up at the sky
31:59Watch your ankle
32:01I may have torn something
32:03You didn't land on your kicking foot
32:05No because I was so
32:07I was so busy thinking
32:09I was so busy thinking
32:11I just landed on my foot
32:13That's good
32:15I'm still ricking your kicking foot
32:17Go on Marcus have a go
32:19I'm going to fall over
32:21Look at this
32:23He's going to dirty his shoes
32:25He'll have another free pair by the morning
32:27Oh
32:29Dear oh dear
32:33Better better better
32:35You're putting up
32:37Contestable kicks
32:39You saw a few of those today
32:41Ok let's try another kick
32:43Yeah that's a bit of a hook
32:45Try a spiral then
32:47This is mortifying
32:49So what's the key to a spiral
32:51Marcus what's the key to a spiral
32:53So the key to a spiral is the same
32:55You don't want to connect middle of the foot
32:57The key thing is the drop as well
32:59So you don't want to lob the ball in the air
33:01Especially in this country in the winter months
33:03You don't want to leave the drop up to the element
33:05So I try and go
33:07So if I'm aiming at Ashley here
33:09He's middle I split the ball in half
33:11And I try and go
33:13Same as what Snap said
33:15Through the ball through this side of the ball
33:17And try and make it turn this way
33:19So forget about trying to make a spiral
33:21I'm not going first again
33:23Can't believe I scuffed it
33:25Oh yes
33:27I mean it's alright
33:29It wasn't a tight spiral
33:31There it is
33:33There he is
33:35From Leicester see
33:37Love that
33:43We're good coaches
33:45You guys are really
33:47Compliant
33:50OK
33:52The compliance is brilliant
33:54Want to go drop goals
33:56Drop kicks
33:58Drop kicks
34:00Kick offs
34:02Ashley you're receiving
34:04And no shouting miss it miss it
34:06With Nick kicking
34:08That's nice
34:10Should we bring that up
34:12That was a fun day
34:14Why do you all do this
34:16Checking the bounce
34:18You're checking the bounce
34:20This is our last kick of the day
34:22So what are we aiming to do
34:24Get under the ball get it high
34:26So if you're kicking short
34:28Long to Ashley
34:30He's got to run into it
34:32You are going to have to run into it
34:34No it's long
34:36Not to him
34:38OK
34:42You've got to look past
34:44Oh you put me off
34:46Oh Benny come on
34:48Come on Benny
34:50We should finish
34:52I tell you you don't see that
34:54OK
34:56One each
34:58At the same time
35:00Ashley's the target
35:02One two three
35:04We're signing off folks
35:06Both absolutely brilliant
35:08Thanks so much
35:10Thanks to all of you
35:12Right tackling
35:14Thank you
