  <WSC#DPC318:0300:AA>
      <.>l</.> like just <.>y</.> just when all the ball and all the
      line outs when <{><[>everything</[>

  <WSC#DPC318:0305:BN>
      <[>mm</[></{> can't do anything with it the <{><[>backs</[> are
      pathetic

  <WSC#DPC318:0310:AA>
      <[>yeah</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC318:0315:AA>
      yeah sad man

  <WSC#DPC318:0320:BN>
      need a few new players like walter little eroni clark and
      someone like that <latch>

  <WSC#DPC318:0325:AA>
      cooper sucked man just <{1><[1>dropped the</[1> ball all day he
      just <{2><[2>can't do</[2>

  <WSC#DPC318:0330:BN>
      <[1>yeah</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC318:0335:BN>
      <[2>his kicking</[2></{2> was no good either it was unlucky a
      few but still they've got to go over

  <WSC#DPC318:0340:AA>
      yeah i don't know about timu at fullback eh <&>7:00</&>

  <WSC#DPC318:0345:BN>
      he <.>has</.> hasn't been <.>li</.> very very dangerous when
      he's been coming into the line at the moment and his kicks <{><[>have
      been pretty

  <WSC#DPC318:0350:BN>
      shocking</[>

  <WSC#DPC318:0355:AA>
      <[>and <?>lomu</?> was</[></{> shocking

  <WSC#DPC318:0360:BN>
      on defence yeah

  <WSC#DPC318:0365:AA>

  <WSC#DPC318:0370:BN>
      <[>they haven't</[></{> taught him anything <{><[>they've just
      sort of stuck him in there</[>

  <WSC#DPC318:0375:AA>
      <[>i reckon the only thing he</[></{> i reckon the only thing
      you can do is put timu back on the wing cos he's the only one
      who's up there <{1><[1>in terms</[1> of play and then find a
      <{2><[2>forward</[2>

  <WSC#DPC318:0380:BN>
