Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whakapono ana a Tim Southee kei te rite a Aotearoa mō 'tetahi atu akiaki nui' i te Rātapu i Melbourne i a rātau e aro atu ana ki a Ahitereiria i te whiringa toa o te Ipu o te Ao. Ko te kaiwhawhai tere i kii ko tana roopu i tuku i a ia ano he ra ki te whakanui i te wikitoria nui o te haurua whakamutunga ki Awherika ki te Tonga i Eden Park i Auckland, a kua 'paraka' te mahara o taua tukinga. Ko te tākaro i tētahi whiringa toa o te Ipu o te Ao, otirā ki a Ahitereiria i mua i ngā kaimātakitaki tata ki te 100,000 i te Melbourne Cricket Ground, ko tana'moemoea i tutuki.' Kei te whakamanamana a Tim Southee ki te tūmanako kia tutaki ia ki a Ahitereiria i te whiringa toa o te Ao ā te Rātapu. I whakangungu a Aotearoa i te Melbourne Cricket Ground i te Paraire hei whakarite mo te whiringa toa. Ka tākaro a Daniel Vettori i tana ra whutupōro whakamutunga mō Aotearoa ā te Rātapu i te whiringa toa o te Ao. 'I a koe e tamariki ana, e hiahia ana koe ki te noho hei All Black, hei Black Cap ranei, a koinei te mea pai rawa atu,' i kii ia. 'Kei te tino harikoa ngā tamariki ki te whakatutuki i te moemoea o te tamarikitanga.' Ka mea a Southee ko te rangatira o Aotearoa a Brendon McCullum 'he maha nga korero mo te wa o to tatou oranga me nga marama e rua kua hipa kaore e taea te whakakapi mo tetahi mea. Kāore mātou i hiahia kia mutu, i hanga e mātou kia roa tonu te wā e taea ana e mātou, ā, kotahi anō akiaki nui, ā, ka maumahara tonu ngā tamariki ki a ia.' I korero a Southee mo te whakataetae hākinakina ki Ahitereiria i reira ko Aotearoa tonu 'te teina iti.' I pātai tika ia i tētahi huihuinga nūpepa i te Paraire mēnā ko te tukinga whakamutunga o te Rātapu te mea e whai mana ana ki te wikitōria i te whakaute o tētahi hoa tauwhāinga hākinakina kaha, ko tōna āhua ki te kirikiti o Aotearoa i ngā wā katoa he tohu whakaiti. Kei te whakangungu a Kane Williamson i tana pūkenga whutupaoro i te wā whakangungu i Melbourne. Ko te rangatira o Aotearoa a Brendon McCullum i roto i ngā kupenga i waho tonu o te Melbourne Cricket Ground. Ka maka a Grant Elliott ki ngā rākau i roto i tētahi whakangungu whakawā i te wā o te whakangungu o Aotearoa. I whakaae a Southee he take i mua i kite ai a Ahitereiria i a Aotearoa i taua huarahi. 'I nga wa o mua kaore matou i takaro ki o maatau...
E kī ana a Tim Southee i te whiringa toa ki Ahitereiria he'moemoea ka tutuki' I whakangungu a Aotearoa i te Melbourne Cricket Ground i te Paraire. I tae atu te kapa Blackcaps ki Melbourne i te Rāapa i muri i to rātau wikitōria whā-wikitō i te whiringa toa ki a Awherika ki te Tonga i Eden Park i Auckland. I hinga a Aotearoa i a Ahitereiria mā te pōtae kotahi i te tīmatanga o te whakataetae.
