and I'm surge.com I misspoke in the beginning of the show we already beat England so I was trying to say we were celebrating the win from England hate crime we're celebrating the win over England and we're going to face the Albacks in New Zealand you didn't even know how much we'll fit in New Zealand but yeah anyways cheers guys
