I couldn't I couldn't work out what had happened, 137 00:07:39,507 --> 00:07:43,307 Speaker 7: got home, watched the highlights on STAN and still still 138 00:07:43,387 --> 00:07:46,907 Speaker 7: now I can't believe that's what transpired in that second half? 139 00:07:47,027 --> 00:07:50,467 Speaker 3: Wild So are they all Blacks now vulnerable? 140 00:07:51,507 --> 00:07:53,867 Speaker 2: No, we had no. 141 00:07:54,627 --> 00:07:58,947 Speaker 7: We had Sunnyville on our show on between two Posts 142 00:07:58,987 --> 00:08:02,587 Speaker 7: on Stan, which I think Sky and Zed takes as well. 143 00:08:02,707 --> 00:08:03,987 Speaker 2: Yep, on Monday, and. 144 00:08:05,587 --> 00:08:09,507 Speaker 7: He lightly highlighted that if he was a part of 145 00:08:09,507 --> 00:08:11,227 Speaker 7: an all that extendent lost the game, that they weren't 146 00:08:11,267 --> 00:08:13,827 Speaker 7: supposed to lose, or if they got touched up that 147 00:08:13,947 --> 00:08:17,547 Speaker 7: it was The next game was just like. The response 148 00:08:17,867 --> 00:08:22,707 Speaker 7: was brutal, and I'm expecting the same again at Eden 149 00:08:22,787 --> 00:08:26,427 Speaker 7: Park next week. So vulnerable. No, I think they're going 150 00:08:26,467 --> 00:08:31,347 Speaker 7: to come out spitting fire. And I'm not thankful in 151 00:08:31,467 --> 00:08:34,307 Speaker 7: many ways for what Africa did last week. 152 00:08:35,147 --> 00:08:37,547 Speaker 3: They did, though, have a various very obvious game plan. 153 00:08:37,627 --> 00:08:40,467 Speaker 3: They didn't against the All Blacks, which featured a significant 154 00:08:40,547 --> 00:08:43,267 Speaker 3: aerial assault. That's not something which is deep in the 155 00:08:43,347 --> 00:08:46,067 Speaker 3: DNA of Australian rugby sides. But do you expect that 156 00:08:46,227 --> 00:08:49,587 Speaker 3: they will take notice of what South Africa did and 157 00:08:49,787 --> 00:08:52,467 Speaker 3: take parts of that into their game for these next 158 00:08:52,547 --> 00:08:53,267 Speaker 3: two test matches? 159 00:08:53,707 --> 00:08:56,947 Speaker 7: Oh jeez, that's a good question, mate.

And you know, while say no, because 161 00:08:59,987 --> 00:09:03,187 Speaker 7: we tried that on Argentina and it didn't work out. 162 00:09:03,347 --> 00:09:06,707 Speaker 7: It didn't work out at all, throwing those contests schools 163 00:09:06,787 --> 00:09:11,107 Speaker 7: up and giving Georgo a chance of push through even 164 00:09:11,667 --> 00:09:15,347 Speaker 7: s Eli and Corey Taur and I just I reckon 165 00:09:15,427 --> 00:09:18,587 Speaker 7: the bouncerball and I was confessables in that game against 166 00:09:18,627 --> 00:09:21,667 Speaker 7: Los Premiers would have gone maybe ninety ten in favor 167 00:09:21,707 --> 00:09:25,187 Speaker 7: of them. So I can't see I can't see that 168 00:09:25,267 --> 00:09:27,827 Speaker 7: happening again. I don't reckon it will so it'll mean 169 00:09:27,907 --> 00:09:30,707 Speaker 7: that they'll have to come up with more creative ways 170 00:09:31,187 --> 00:09:34,987 Speaker 7: to try and puncture that all blacks defense. I'll tell 171 00:09:34,987 --> 00:09:37,627 Speaker 7: you what. It shakes up as a great couple of weeks, 172 00:09:37,707 --> 00:09:40,267 Speaker 7: doesn't it. I mean, sure we've had a couple of 173 00:09:40,267 --> 00:09:45,107 Speaker 7: stumbles both out sides o these last four rounds, but man, no, man, 174 00:09:45,227 --> 00:09:47,307 Speaker 7: when both these teams are clicked, it has been so 175 00:09:47,667 --> 00:09:49,227 Speaker 7: good to watchte Oh. 176 00:09:49,227 --> 00:09:51,067 Speaker 3: Look, absolutely we can't wait for the series. And I 177 00:09:51,147 --> 00:09:53,667 Speaker 3: think every game in the Rugby Championship has been like that. 178 00:09:53,707 --> 00:09:56,667 Speaker 3: I mean, who picked it after four games each everybody 179 00:09:56,707 --> 00:09:59,267 Speaker 3: would have two wins and two losses. It just wasn't 180 00:09:59,307 --> 00:10:02,307 Speaker 3: on the radar as far as the Wallabies are concerned. 181 00:10:02,387 --> 00:10:04,547 Speaker 3: Sean the one over Fiji to start things off, then 182 00:10:04,587 --> 00:10:07,067 Speaker 3: the British and Irish lines two of course, then the 183 00:10:07,387 --> 00:10:09,907 Speaker 3: shared tests and sow they Africa that she had tests 184 00:10:09,947 --> 00:10:12,267 Speaker 3: against Argentina. It's been a busy old year for the Wallabies, 185 00:10:12,427 --> 00:10:14,667 Speaker 3: what have you made of them in general terms across 186 00:10:14,987 --> 00:10:15,827 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. 187 00:10:16,547 --> 00:10:22,347 Speaker 7: Well, they are so much improved. They are so they've 188 00:10:22,427 --> 00:10:26,867 Speaker 7: come so far in such a short time under Joe Schmidt. 189 00:10:26,907 --> 00:10:30,427 Speaker 7: I mean, mate, last we're saying this the other week, 190 00:10:30,547 --> 00:10:32,827 Speaker 7: Like you know, if we go back sort of fourteen months, 191 00:10:32,867 --> 00:10:36,107 Speaker 7: we were struggling to put away Georgia in Sydney and 192 00:10:36,187 --> 00:10:40,027 Speaker 7: we were we had our issues with Wales for chunks 193 00:10:40,067 --> 00:10:43,467 Speaker 7: of that series too. So they've just come so far 194 00:10:43,627 --> 00:10:46,667 Speaker 7: in such a short period of time. That trajectory off 195 00:10:46,707 --> 00:10:47,987 Speaker 7: the back of Fiji was. 196 00:10:49,827 --> 00:10:50,667 Speaker 2: Was great and then. 197 00:10:50,587 --> 00:10:53,187 Speaker 7: Obviously we had that little slip in the first against 198 00:10:53,187 --> 00:10:55,387 Speaker 7: the Tests against the lines. But you know, if you 199 00:10:55,467 --> 00:10:58,827 Speaker 7: look at all the other minutes of good stuff they 200 00:10:58,867 --> 00:11:03,347 Speaker 7: put together across those games, it's excellent. So they're going 201 00:11:03,387 --> 00:11:06,067 Speaker 7: in the right direction. They're well led, they're well coached, 202 00:11:06,227 --> 00:11:12,987 Speaker 7: and finally, mate, finally we're getting people in gold jerseys 203 00:11:13,067 --> 00:11:16,907 Speaker 7: see games. We've got people in hats and scarves and 204 00:11:17,027 --> 00:11:19,707 Speaker 7: anything else. God, I can get on and it has 205 00:11:19,867 --> 00:11:23,507 Speaker 7: been I reckon, it's been. Probably I'll be going back 206 00:11:23,547 --> 00:11:25,507 Speaker 7: maybe twenty years. I must come back to the last 207 00:11:25,507 --> 00:11:28,747 Speaker 7: time we hostedly woke up to a game light last 208 00:11:28,867 --> 00:11:33,947 Speaker 7: weekend where the crowd was drenched in Wallaby gold. It 209 00:11:34,067 --> 00:11:35,387 Speaker 7: was so good to watch. 210 00:11:35,347 --> 00:11:40,707 Speaker 3: Love that, Love that Ellis Park. I mean inexplicable scenes 211 00:11:40,787 --> 00:11:43,547 Speaker 3: there at Ellis Park. You know, twenty two nil down 212 00:11:43,587 --> 00:11:46,107 Speaker 3: and then thirty eight unuanced points to win it. Where 213 00:11:46,187 --> 00:11:50,987 Speaker 3: does that win sit among the great Australian performances you've 214 00:11:51,067 --> 00:11:52,067 Speaker 3: seen in recent times? 215 00:11:52,587 --> 00:11:56,267 Speaker 7: Oh, easily the best in recent times. I mean I've 216 00:11:56,307 --> 00:11:59,027 Speaker 7: got to that top five all time. And many of 217 00:11:59,067 --> 00:12:01,787 Speaker 7: my colleagues who like Timmy Horn had said to me, 218 00:12:02,547 --> 00:12:04,827 Speaker 7: he's got the top five all time, and that Blokes 219 00:12:04,867 --> 00:12:07,507 Speaker 7: won two World Cups and he's a World Roby Hall 220 00:12:07,547 --> 00:12:11,227 Speaker 7: of Famer. Burkie was the same. Maugs is obviously more recent. 221 00:12:11,307 --> 00:12:14,507 Speaker 7: Cunt he's the same. So all of us have it 222 00:12:14,547 --> 00:12:17,667 Speaker 7: as a top five win in the history, that long 223 00:12:18,267 --> 00:12:21,907 Speaker 7: history of the Wallabies. So mate, we'll never forget it. 224 00:12:22,427 --> 00:12:26,227 Speaker 7: I still have people stopping now in the most random 225 00:12:26,307 --> 00:12:29,827 Speaker 7: spots saying, OI, what about that game against South Africa. 226 00:12:29,907 --> 00:12:32,667 Speaker 7: I was up with you, I was up watching We're 227 00:12:32,707 --> 00:12:35,387 Speaker 7: all up. I woke my neighbor up, I wake my 228 00:12:35,547 --> 00:12:39,147 Speaker 7: missus up, or I woke my husband up. Everyone still 229 00:12:39,307 --> 00:12:41,947 Speaker 7: wants to talk about that weeks and weeks later. 230 00:12:42,747 --> 00:12:45,107 Speaker 3: Who have been the standout players on the Wallabies jersey 231 00:12:45,147 --> 00:12:46,027 Speaker 3: for you across the year? 232 00:12:46,787 --> 00:12:49,747 Speaker 7: Oh, there's been some good ones, hey, Jason, there's need 233 00:12:49,827 --> 00:12:53,107 Speaker 7: some really good ones we have seen. Okay, let's start 234 00:12:53,147 --> 00:12:56,827 Speaker 7: with a captain. So now we're now it's irrefutable that 235 00:12:56,947 --> 00:12:59,667 Speaker 7: Harry Wilson is that captain going forward. That's a lot 236 00:13:00,187 --> 00:13:05,267 Speaker 7: and that's important because he was not a lot going 237 00:13:05,347 --> 00:13:08,987 Speaker 7: into the Test series here. So Harry Wilson has been 238 00:13:09,067 --> 00:13:11,547 Speaker 7: big phrasement rights all the way. Nick Frost, I reckon 239 00:13:11,627 --> 00:13:13,827 Speaker 7: Nick Frost is probably one of the premiere locks in 240 00:13:13,907 --> 00:13:18,027 Speaker 7: world rugby right now? Mate? Who else have we got there? 241 00:13:18,307 --> 00:13:22,787 Speaker 7: They've all, they've all been really good. Lenniki tau Top 242 00:13:23,027 --> 00:13:26,507 Speaker 7: one of the top centers in world rugby. And just 243 00:13:26,627 --> 00:13:30,107 Speaker 7: this Max Shorganson one of the top wingers in world rugby. 244 00:13:30,387 --> 00:13:33,107 Speaker 7: And I just can't wait to see how far we 245 00:13:33,187 --> 00:13:36,347 Speaker 7: can ride this sewer alite train as well made because 246 00:13:36,787 --> 00:13:39,547 Speaker 7: he is going more and more into the game of 247 00:13:39,587 --> 00:13:42,027 Speaker 7: Ruby union and he could be special. 248 00:13:42,187 --> 00:13:45,347 Speaker 3: Yeah, how care far can we ride that train? Because man, 249 00:13:45,427 --> 00:13:47,227 Speaker 3: what a player he could be. What is he twenty 250 00:13:47,307 --> 00:13:47,947 Speaker 3: two years old. 251 00:13:48,627 --> 00:13:50,547 Speaker 7: Yeah he's young, mate, They're all young. MAT's the other thing. 252 00:13:50,667 --> 00:13:56,427 Speaker 7: What Jorgo's only just turned twenty one. It's crazy, So mate, 253 00:13:56,507 --> 00:14:00,387 Speaker 7: let's ride as far as we can. He he's looking 254 00:14:00,547 --> 00:14:05,347 Speaker 7: more and more dangerous with every touch, commits plenty of defenders, looks, 255 00:14:05,507 --> 00:14:09,107 Speaker 7: looks for work defense when he's doing the tackling. He's 256 00:14:09,227 --> 00:14:10,947 Speaker 7: just he's just quality, mane. 257 00:14:10,987 --> 00:14:13,147 Speaker 2: He's just quality all the way through. 258 00:14:13,587 --> 00:14:15,547 Speaker 3: Now you all know these stats. The last time anyone 259 00:14:15,587 --> 00:14:17,987 Speaker 3: beat the all Blacks of Eden Park was nineteen ninety four. 260 00:14:18,387 --> 00:14:21,667 Speaker 3: The last time Australia did it was nineteen eighty six. Yeah, 261 00:14:21,907 --> 00:14:24,587 Speaker 3: what would it mean to break that record and put 262 00:14:24,587 --> 00:14:26,507 Speaker 3: a hand on the Bleader Slowe Cup next weekend? 263 00:14:27,107 --> 00:14:30,067 Speaker 7: It's funny you asked that. I've been trying to wrestle 264 00:14:30,147 --> 00:14:33,507 Speaker 7: with the idea of it being close or going close, 265 00:14:33,707 --> 00:14:38,707 Speaker 7: and it would mean plenty. But it won't mean I mean, 266 00:14:38,827 --> 00:14:43,267 Speaker 7: and I say this absolutely respectfully with the deepest respect, 267 00:14:43,347 --> 00:14:46,907 Speaker 7: it won't mean anything unless they can I mean, should 268 00:14:46,947 --> 00:14:49,987 Speaker 7: they fluke the wind over there, because I'll be I mean, 269 00:14:50,067 --> 00:14:53,307 Speaker 7: I'll be massive. Our guys will be massive underdogs that game, 270 00:14:53,387 --> 00:14:56,107 Speaker 7: as you'd expect. And as they should be. But if 271 00:14:56,147 --> 00:14:59,307 Speaker 7: they can somehow, I don't know, pull something out and 272 00:14:59,387 --> 00:15:01,947 Speaker 7: then we go to Perth with the bloody's on the light, 273 00:15:02,027 --> 00:15:05,227 Speaker 7: if they then come on stuck in Perth, it's it's 274 00:15:05,307 --> 00:15:09,827 Speaker 7: gonna be as u So it won't mean anyone he 275 00:15:09,987 --> 00:15:12,387 Speaker 7: cares about is trying to get that damn trophy back. 276 00:15:12,507 --> 00:15:14,987 Speaker 7: So one win will be like, oh, that's great, but 277 00:15:15,467 --> 00:15:18,547 Speaker 7: unless they get it back, it won't mean. It won't 278 00:15:18,547 --> 00:15:20,067 Speaker 7: mean a whole lot unfortunately. 279 00:15:20,427 --> 00:15:22,307 Speaker 3: Can I just finish with Josh Matt You alluded to 280 00:15:22,387 --> 00:15:25,147 Speaker 3: him before in the evolution that he's overseen in this 281 00:15:25,427 --> 00:15:29,107 Speaker 3: Wallaby side. Is there any chance he'll continue on in 282 00:15:29,307 --> 00:15:32,027 Speaker 3: some way, shape or form when liz Kus takes over 283 00:15:32,107 --> 00:15:32,547 Speaker 3: full time. 284 00:15:33,267 --> 00:15:36,467 Speaker 7: I don't know what the transfer or the handoff looks like, 285 00:15:36,667 --> 00:15:40,547 Speaker 7: but I do know those who know each other particularly well, 286 00:15:40,827 --> 00:15:44,227 Speaker 7: and they're very similar in terms of the way that 287 00:15:44,347 --> 00:15:49,547 Speaker 7: they can extract the best of their players and can 288 00:15:49,667 --> 00:15:56,067 Speaker 7: really I guess guide them to lofty heights. So they'll 289 00:15:56,107 --> 00:15:59,387 Speaker 7: be they'll let's try and do the calendar going forward, 290 00:15:59,707 --> 00:16:02,707 Speaker 7: so we'd be looking at yes, so let's onone take 291 00:16:02,787 --> 00:16:06,947 Speaker 7: over till July next year, so there'll be that whole 292 00:16:07,107 --> 00:16:10,107 Speaker 7: year where Joe will still be I believe in the 293 00:16:10,187 --> 00:16:14,987 Speaker 7: employee of Roby Australia handing all that info off. So 294 00:16:16,827 --> 00:16:18,387 Speaker 7: I don't know what it looks like beyond that, mate, 295 00:16:18,427 --> 00:16:20,627 Speaker 7: but as long as he brings let's up to speed 296 00:16:20,707 --> 00:16:23,347 Speaker 7: him already go from July next year, then that should 297 00:16:23,347 --> 00:16:23,707 Speaker 7: be sweet. 298 00:16:23,787 --> 00:16:25,827 Speaker 3: Yeah, the world couple be looming by that stage. It's 299 00:16:25,867 --> 00:16:28,467 Speaker 3: an exciting sight. We can't wait to have you over 300 00:16:28,507 --> 00:16:30,907 Speaker 3: here next weekend for the Eden Park ties.

That is Sean Maloney, Voice of the Wallabes, 303 00:16:37,267 --> 00:16:39,667 Speaker 3: the excitable voice of the Wallabes. I thought he was 304 00:16:39,707 --> 00:16:42,667 Speaker 3: trying to play that down just ever so slightly there. 305 00:16:43,507 --> 00:16:45,467 Speaker 3: I thought he might be a bit more bullish, But 306 00:16:45,587 --> 00:16:48,387 Speaker 3: then again I guess as he said. He quoted sunny 307 00:16:48,427 --> 00:16:51,587 Speaker 3: Bill there from one of their shows over in Australia 308 00:16:51,627 --> 00:16:55,667 Speaker 3: in the last week.

Remember, of 334 00:18:14,067 --> 00:18:17,227 Speaker 3: course they have to win both matches. We only have 335 00:18:17,387 --> 00:18:20,547 Speaker 3: to win one. Much as the All Blacks were well 336 00:18:20,587 --> 00:18:24,347 Speaker 3: beaten last weekend in Wellington, I simply cannot foresee a 337 00:18:24,467 --> 00:18:29,467 Speaker 3: scenario under which they lose next weekend as they did 338 00:18:29,467 --> 00:18:32,347 Speaker 3: against the spring Box at Eden Park two weekends ago. 339 00:18:33,307 --> 00:18:36,347 Speaker 3: I expect them to get up for this occasion. Now 340 00:18:36,387 --> 00:18:39,747 Speaker 3: they shouldn't need an occasion, of course to get up four, 341 00:18:40,787 --> 00:18:43,987 Speaker 3: but with the Eden Park record on the line again 342 00:18:44,147 --> 00:18:48,427 Speaker 3: and more importantly a response needed after what happened in Wellington, 343 00:18:48,907 --> 00:18:49,707 Speaker 3: I think they'll deliver. 344 00:18:50,987 --> 00:18:51,347 Speaker 7: As I say. 345 00:18:51,387 --> 00:18:53,747 Speaker 3: Shaw Maloney quoted Tonny Bill during our chat saying when 346 00:18:53,747 --> 00:18:56,187 Speaker 3: he was in the All Blacks and they lost or undelivered, 347 00:18:56,627 --> 00:19:00,907 Speaker 3: their response was brutal. The All Blacks very rarely lose 348 00:19:00,987 --> 00:19:03,587 Speaker 3: two Test matches in a row. It's even rarer to 349 00:19:03,747 --> 00:19:06,667 Speaker 3: lose two at home on the bounce. You have to 350 00:19:06,707 --> 00:19:09,987 Speaker 3: go back to the Irish Series in twenty twenty two 351 00:19:10,107 --> 00:19:13,347 Speaker 3: for the last time that happened. Before that, we hadn't 352 00:19:13,387 --> 00:19:17,507 Speaker 3: lost two straight home tests since nineteen ninety eight, and 353 00:19:17,587 --> 00:19:20,627 Speaker 3: before that it was nineteen ninety four. The second of those, 354 00:19:20,747 --> 00:19:22,747 Speaker 3: of course, was the loss to France at Eden Park, 355 00:19:23,427 --> 00:19:27,107 Speaker 3: the last time the All Blacks tasted defeat at the ground. 356 00:19:27,547 --> 00:19:31,067 Speaker 3: As well as the response I'm expecting personnel wise for 357 00:19:31,107 --> 00:19:34,907 Speaker 3: the All Blacks, Cody Taylor will be back, cam Royguard 358 00:19:35,507 --> 00:19:38,467 Speaker 3: will be back. Our best hooker and our best half 359 00:19:38,547 --> 00:19:41,987 Speaker 3: back by some distance, so they would come straight back 360 00:19:42,027 --> 00:19:44,707 Speaker 3: into the side for me. Cody Taylor having cleared his 361 00:19:44,947 --> 00:19:47,907 Speaker 3: HIA protocols, cam Royguard getting through half an hour with 362 00:19:47,947 --> 00:19:50,187 Speaker 3: Counties yesterday, you might say he's a bit short of 363 00:19:50,227 --> 00:19:52,027 Speaker 3: a gallop, but I'd have him in there from the start, 364 00:19:53,147 --> 00:19:55,307 Speaker 3: Taylor and Roy Guard to start. I suspect there'll be 365 00:19:55,347 --> 00:19:58,187 Speaker 3: other changes as well, probably in the back three, maybe 366 00:19:58,227 --> 00:20:01,187 Speaker 3: elsewhere as well. But whoever plays, this is an All 367 00:20:01,227 --> 00:20:05,667 Speaker 3: Black side that was stung in Wellington. They'll gather today 368 00:20:06,507 --> 00:20:09,787 Speaker 3: with a singular focus to put it right. And while 369 00:20:09,787 --> 00:20:13,067 Speaker 3: Australia have certainly improved under Joe Schmidt, there's no doubt 370 00:20:13,067 --> 00:20:17,147 Speaker 3: about that they have significantly improved. The fact remains they 371 00:20:17,187 --> 00:20:20,267 Speaker 3: lost their last Test against Argentina and they only won 372 00:20:20,347 --> 00:20:23,187 Speaker 3: the previous week with a try and the dying moments. Yes, 373 00:20:23,227 --> 00:20:25,227 Speaker 3: they beat South Africa at Alice Park in one of 374 00:20:25,267 --> 00:20:28,147 Speaker 3: the all time great comebacks, but they lost the following week. 375 00:20:29,467 --> 00:20:33,307 Speaker 3: I just can't see them winning next weekend. Or is 376 00:20:33,347 --> 00:20:36,667 Speaker 3: that overly optimistic? Your thoughts welcome, Let's talk some rugby. 377 00:20:36,667 --> 00:20:39,587 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighteen number twelve twenty 378 00:20:39,667 --> 00:20:41,107 Speaker 3: seven back with your calls after. 379 00:20:40,987 --> 00:20:43,707 Speaker 2: This, it's more than just a game. 380 00:20:44,067 --> 00:20:49,147 Speaker 1: Weekend Sport with Jason pine and TJ Gunnomes, New Zealand's. 381 00:20:48,747 --> 00:20:50,947 Speaker 2: Most trusted home builder News talks, they'd. 382 00:20:50,787 --> 00:20:53,067 Speaker 3: Be twelve thirty off to the phones in a moment 383 00:20:53,187 --> 00:20:55,547 Speaker 3: a couple of text ough. Mahendra says, I still believe 384 00:20:55,587 --> 00:20:58,427 Speaker 3: we're a better side than the Wallabies, but it'll all 385 00:20:58,467 --> 00:21:01,147 Speaker 3: depend on how they can clear the emotional scars from 386 00:21:01,267 --> 00:21:03,867 Speaker 3: last week. If we can clear those, start well and 387 00:21:03,907 --> 00:21:06,547 Speaker 3: play well for eighty will win. Come and hesitate and 388 00:21:06,667 --> 00:21:09,227 Speaker 3: lacking confidence giving the oss is a good start and 389 00:21:09,347 --> 00:21:14,067 Speaker 3: we are screwed. Thanks Mandra. Perth worries me. Piney says, Simon, Yeah, look, 390 00:21:14,107 --> 00:21:16,547 Speaker 3: I'm not going to even think about Perth until next Sunday. 391 00:21:17,107 --> 00:21:19,787 Speaker 3: Let's see what happens at eden Park and then worry 392 00:21:19,827 --> 00:21:23,547 Speaker 3: about Perth after that. Look at you know the All 393 00:21:23,587 --> 00:21:26,227 Speaker 3: Blacks this year have been up and down, haven't they win? 394 00:21:26,387 --> 00:21:29,427 Speaker 3: They won an Argentina, then lost in Argentina. They won 395 00:21:30,147 --> 00:21:31,907 Speaker 3: at eden Park, then lost to the spring Box the 396 00:21:31,947 --> 00:21:34,027 Speaker 3: following week. They may well win at eden Park next 397 00:21:34,067 --> 00:21:36,987 Speaker 3: weekend and then if the trend continues, they might lose 398 00:21:37,027 --> 00:21:41,147 Speaker 3: in Perth. But I worry about that. I worry about 399 00:21:41,187 --> 00:21:47,147 Speaker 3: that next weekend. Text here piney are you going to Perth? 400 00:21:47,907 --> 00:21:51,107 Speaker 3: If so, I've got the perfect pub for you, Gage 401 00:21:51,267 --> 00:21:54,747 Speaker 3: Road Brewing and Fremantle Quarter owned by yours truly, Mecca, 402 00:21:55,587 --> 00:21:58,027 Speaker 3: magic spot on the waterfront, Mecca. I would love to 403 00:21:58,107 --> 00:22:00,347 Speaker 3: go to Perth. I would love to go over there. 404 00:22:00,347 --> 00:22:02,267 Speaker 3: I've only been to Perth once, it was for a 405 00:22:02,307 --> 00:22:06,227 Speaker 3: football game. Love the place and knowing that you are 406 00:22:06,387 --> 00:22:10,427 Speaker 3: a twenty five percent shareholder and Gauge Road Brewing and Fremantle, 407 00:22:10,907 --> 00:22:13,387 Speaker 3: that would compel me even more to go. Unfortunately, it's 408 00:22:13,387 --> 00:22:16,627 Speaker 3: not up to me, but I'll certainly be pitching to 409 00:22:16,707 --> 00:22:20,587 Speaker 3: the bosses here for a trip to Western Australia in 410 00:22:20,587 --> 00:22:23,747 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks. Fell Hi mate at. 411 00:22:23,667 --> 00:22:24,587 Speaker 9: A pointy how are you. 412 00:22:25,067 --> 00:22:26,947 Speaker 10: I'm good, excellent. 413 00:22:27,027 --> 00:22:27,827 Speaker 11: What a off of that is? 414 00:22:27,987 --> 00:22:31,227 Speaker 12: I'll be kick I'll take your bags and make your coffee. 415 00:22:32,267 --> 00:22:36,427 Speaker 3: You point Macat didn't seem to intimate that he was 416 00:22:36,467 --> 00:22:39,787 Speaker 3: going to pay for the trip full, unfortunately. But you know, 417 00:22:39,827 --> 00:22:41,347 Speaker 3: at least have we got there, we'd know where to 418 00:22:41,427 --> 00:22:42,907 Speaker 3: go there. 419 00:22:42,827 --> 00:22:46,787 Speaker 12: Right there, right there, right now. Yeah, I'm a bit 420 00:22:46,947 --> 00:22:50,227 Speaker 12: like you. I'm a bit like The inconsistency of the 421 00:22:50,427 --> 00:22:53,907 Speaker 12: All Blacks does cast a bit of doubt. Worries me 422 00:22:53,947 --> 00:22:56,867 Speaker 12: a wee bit. But I do think too, because I'm 423 00:22:56,907 --> 00:22:59,307 Speaker 12: trying to be positive. Like I said to Andy, I'm 424 00:22:59,307 --> 00:23:03,227 Speaker 12: trying to be positive and get that feeling in me 425 00:23:03,307 --> 00:23:05,387 Speaker 12: that I think they will come back after a smack 426 00:23:05,427 --> 00:23:07,787 Speaker 12: in the face like that in that record defeat and 427 00:23:07,907 --> 00:23:11,587 Speaker 12: that and like your guest said that, Sonny Bull said, 428 00:23:11,667 --> 00:23:14,267 Speaker 12: you know when you get beaten like that, you know 429 00:23:14,507 --> 00:23:18,907 Speaker 12: then they come back. That's brutal and inspired and to 430 00:23:18,987 --> 00:23:23,547 Speaker 12: come back and put in a good performance passion. I 431 00:23:23,587 --> 00:23:26,067 Speaker 12: wouldn't be because the other thing, too, is like we're 432 00:23:26,107 --> 00:23:28,587 Speaker 12: having camera would go back, that'd be great. I thought 433 00:23:28,747 --> 00:23:34,387 Speaker 12: Hoping was good although we got beaten that last week. 434 00:23:34,427 --> 00:23:36,387 Speaker 12: I thought he was good until did he get off 435 00:23:36,467 --> 00:23:37,107 Speaker 12: injured or something. 436 00:23:37,227 --> 00:23:39,667 Speaker 3: Yeah, in the first half he didn't. He didn't play 437 00:23:39,707 --> 00:23:42,787 Speaker 3: for very long. Phil that was that was the issue, 438 00:23:42,827 --> 00:23:44,347 Speaker 3: and it was such a shame because he's been out 439 00:23:44,427 --> 00:23:46,827 Speaker 3: with that ankle injury and then had come back and 440 00:23:46,947 --> 00:23:49,907 Speaker 3: only lasted ten to fifteen minutes. But I think he 441 00:23:50,147 --> 00:23:53,987 Speaker 3: has probably even with Ratima fit I think Noah Hotham 442 00:23:54,027 --> 00:23:57,987 Speaker 3: has probably if not jumped into second spot, then certainly 443 00:23:58,107 --> 00:24:02,067 Speaker 3: is contesting hard for that second spot with Cortez Ortima. 444 00:24:02,387 --> 00:24:04,107 Speaker 3: I was very sorry to see him go off last week. 445 00:24:05,147 --> 00:24:07,547 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I think so too, and I just I 446 00:24:07,627 --> 00:24:10,467 Speaker 12: was just trying to remember, but yeah, I remember thinking 447 00:24:10,547 --> 00:24:12,347 Speaker 12: he was going quite well until he went off, and 448 00:24:12,387 --> 00:24:13,787 Speaker 12: it was a real shame that he got injured and 449 00:24:13,907 --> 00:24:17,987 Speaker 12: went off. And the debut of the Winger was good too, 450 00:24:18,747 --> 00:24:23,547 Speaker 12: with the speech stuff. But yeah, Lee Ricardo, he was 451 00:24:23,587 --> 00:24:29,787 Speaker 12: good while he was on. But having having the hooker, 452 00:24:31,347 --> 00:24:34,267 Speaker 12: oh what Cody Taylor. Having Cody Taylor back will be 453 00:24:34,307 --> 00:24:38,347 Speaker 12: a big boost too, because we really missed him last week. 454 00:24:39,107 --> 00:24:41,307 Speaker 12: Not to say, you know, bad about the hook that 455 00:24:41,427 --> 00:24:44,467 Speaker 12: they brought on, but yeah, we really missed him, I 456 00:24:44,507 --> 00:24:46,867 Speaker 12: think too in a leadership role as well, because I 457 00:24:46,947 --> 00:24:50,267 Speaker 12: think he's the sort of guy that, although he's not, 458 00:24:50,387 --> 00:24:52,947 Speaker 12: you know, the official captain or whatever, but he's probably 459 00:24:52,987 --> 00:24:55,787 Speaker 12: one of those leaders type people on the field that 460 00:24:55,907 --> 00:24:58,107 Speaker 12: can say like, come on, boys, let's get into it, 461 00:24:58,187 --> 00:25:00,787 Speaker 12: you know, and and help to lift them and get 462 00:25:00,827 --> 00:25:04,827 Speaker 12: some spirits by them and cheer them up. But the Ausies, 463 00:25:04,867 --> 00:25:08,107 Speaker 12: you know, I really I think they're on the way up, 464 00:25:08,187 --> 00:25:09,787 Speaker 12: back to the old Ozies. He used to give us 465 00:25:09,827 --> 00:25:12,427 Speaker 12: those great games that we used to have and Smith 466 00:25:12,707 --> 00:25:15,307 Speaker 12: Smith go a really good so they'll they'll give us 467 00:25:15,347 --> 00:25:17,227 Speaker 12: a real good go. I reckon a way she won't 468 00:25:17,307 --> 00:25:17,707 Speaker 12: be easy. 469 00:25:17,907 --> 00:25:21,227 Speaker 3: I don't know, well, I agree. Look they like I 470 00:25:21,307 --> 00:25:23,147 Speaker 3: said before, you know, I guess I was trying to 471 00:25:23,187 --> 00:25:25,667 Speaker 3: paint it into a more positive light for us. The 472 00:25:25,747 --> 00:25:29,267 Speaker 3: fact that they lost to Argentina probably should have lost 473 00:25:29,307 --> 00:25:31,347 Speaker 3: the previous week, lost to South Africa the week before that, 474 00:25:31,507 --> 00:25:33,507 Speaker 3: so you know, they could have they could be coming 475 00:25:33,547 --> 00:25:36,427 Speaker 3: here with three straight losses. But they have shone more 476 00:25:36,507 --> 00:25:39,227 Speaker 3: than enough to suggest that you're right, they are getting 477 00:25:39,307 --> 00:25:41,707 Speaker 3: back to where they used to be. Those matches that 478 00:25:41,907 --> 00:25:43,787 Speaker 3: you know, you and I probably remember from the back 479 00:25:43,907 --> 00:25:46,787 Speaker 3: end of the nineties only two thousands where we didn't 480 00:25:46,827 --> 00:25:49,747 Speaker 3: know from game to game, home or away who was 481 00:25:49,787 --> 00:25:51,907 Speaker 3: going to win those games. It was such an evenly 482 00:25:52,347 --> 00:25:56,707 Speaker 3: contested trans Tasmen competition between the two of us at 483 00:25:56,747 --> 00:25:57,147 Speaker 3: that time. 484 00:25:58,227 --> 00:26:01,187 Speaker 12: Yeah, she was. She was a real ding gong bettle, 485 00:26:01,307 --> 00:26:03,467 Speaker 12: like you say, and you didn't. He nextly reminds me 486 00:26:03,587 --> 00:26:06,387 Speaker 12: of I say, like, because I tried to ring this 487 00:26:06,467 --> 00:26:08,427 Speaker 12: week and I couldn't get in, you know, on the 488 00:26:08,507 --> 00:26:10,907 Speaker 12: Saturday or the Sunday, because it's just so busy. But 489 00:26:11,987 --> 00:26:14,067 Speaker 12: I was going to say too, because I remember listening 490 00:26:14,147 --> 00:26:16,107 Speaker 12: to when you were talking about the loss and what 491 00:26:16,187 --> 00:26:18,467 Speaker 12: went wrong and that sort of thing, and it made 492 00:26:18,507 --> 00:26:22,427 Speaker 12: me think of an old quote of old Peter fitz Simon, 493 00:26:23,147 --> 00:26:24,907 Speaker 12: and you know what a good player he wasn't that? 494 00:26:25,147 --> 00:26:27,947 Speaker 12: And I remember he said, I listened to an interview 495 00:26:28,107 --> 00:26:31,667 Speaker 12: and he said that those days when he played, you know, 496 00:26:31,867 --> 00:26:35,147 Speaker 12: and they come running out onto the field and they've 497 00:26:35,187 --> 00:26:41,947 Speaker 12: seen guys like Buck Shelford and Richard Lowe and Sean 498 00:26:42,027 --> 00:26:44,587 Speaker 12: Fitzpatrick's standing there. He said, you just looked at those 499 00:26:44,707 --> 00:26:46,787 Speaker 12: guys and you just knew they were hard men and 500 00:26:46,867 --> 00:26:49,427 Speaker 12: you were in for a real hard game. And I 501 00:26:50,027 --> 00:26:53,507 Speaker 12: don't think I think with the all Blacks. That kind 502 00:26:53,547 --> 00:26:56,067 Speaker 12: of doesn't happen so much now, you know. 503 00:26:56,947 --> 00:26:58,707 Speaker 3: Yeah, I look at the current light. Yeah, Phil, I 504 00:26:58,787 --> 00:27:01,467 Speaker 3: think you probably hit on something there. I think there 505 00:27:01,587 --> 00:27:05,307 Speaker 3: was a certainly an intimidation factor. And I'm not saying 506 00:27:05,307 --> 00:27:07,347 Speaker 3: that that was the and the all Black speak the 507 00:27:07,427 --> 00:27:11,347 Speaker 3: Wallabies on occasion, because as I said, they beat us 508 00:27:11,427 --> 00:27:14,267 Speaker 3: just as often. But there was you looked across and 509 00:27:14,347 --> 00:27:16,947 Speaker 3: you saw some hard men. And those teams are the 510 00:27:17,027 --> 00:27:20,387 Speaker 3: late eighties and the back end of the nineties. You know, 511 00:27:20,507 --> 00:27:22,787 Speaker 3: there was some players there. You looked across and you 512 00:27:22,907 --> 00:27:26,587 Speaker 3: saw world class players. There are still some world class 513 00:27:26,627 --> 00:27:28,867 Speaker 3: players in the New Zealand side. I think your name 514 00:27:28,907 --> 00:27:30,987 Speaker 3: a World fifteen and the likes of Artie Savier and 515 00:27:31,347 --> 00:27:34,667 Speaker 3: Will Jordan are certainly in those conversations, but maybe not 516 00:27:34,747 --> 00:27:36,667 Speaker 3: to the extent that it was good to chat philp. 517 00:27:36,707 --> 00:27:39,547 Speaker 3: Hope we can do it next weekend, Pat says Piney, 518 00:27:39,547 --> 00:27:42,467 Speaker 3: who at New Zealand Rugby finally woke up and scheduled 519 00:27:42,467 --> 00:27:44,907 Speaker 3: a test for five o'clock. Great for rugby, Great for 520 00:27:44,947 --> 00:27:48,467 Speaker 3: Auckland Hospital to really capitalize on pre and postgame. Brilliant. 521 00:27:48,507 --> 00:27:51,587 Speaker 3: Hope it continues. I still don't know why I haven't 522 00:27:51,627 --> 00:27:54,027 Speaker 3: been able to get an answer about, not that I've 523 00:27:54,027 --> 00:27:56,107 Speaker 3: already asked. You know, I haven't dug deep into this. 524 00:27:56,267 --> 00:27:58,907 Speaker 3: Why this is a five o'clock kickoff because the South 525 00:27:58,947 --> 00:28:01,347 Speaker 3: Africa Argentina gamer is in the early hours of Sunday morning. 526 00:28:01,427 --> 00:28:04,027 Speaker 3: It's in South Africa, so it's not like they have 527 00:28:04,067 --> 00:28:07,067 Speaker 3: to shed a litle around that. Someone told me that 528 00:28:07,147 --> 00:28:10,707 Speaker 3: it might be because the NRL finals are on or 529 00:28:10,747 --> 00:28:15,627 Speaker 3: the you know, the the preliminary finals and the a 530 00:28:15,907 --> 00:28:18,187 Speaker 3: f L Grand Final is on, but that's in the afternoon, 531 00:28:18,267 --> 00:28:20,827 Speaker 3: so I'm not sure why that would. I mean, if anything, 532 00:28:20,827 --> 00:28:22,667 Speaker 3: you want to stay away from the Aussie Rules Final, 533 00:28:22,747 --> 00:28:25,427 Speaker 3: you have it at seven o'clock. And since when if 534 00:28:25,467 --> 00:28:28,587 Speaker 3: we worried about what the NRL have done, they don't 535 00:28:28,587 --> 00:28:31,467 Speaker 3: care about the All Blacks clearly, otherwise they wouldn't scheduled 536 00:28:32,187 --> 00:28:35,827 Speaker 3: the Warriors up against the Panthers directly opposite last weekend? 537 00:28:36,027 --> 00:28:36,307 Speaker 7: Is he on? 538 00:28:36,427 --> 00:28:39,107 Speaker 3: No, why it's a five o'clock Well see if we 539 00:28:39,147 --> 00:28:39,627 Speaker 3: can find. 540 00:28:39,507 --> 00:28:43,587 Speaker 13: Out he and Hi mate, Hi Hi Barne. So listenly, 541 00:28:43,627 --> 00:28:50,347 Speaker 13: congratulations to Otago. Oh yes, oh yes, Jimmy, that's the 542 00:28:50,587 --> 00:28:51,627 Speaker 13: hell of a mess chat one. 543 00:28:51,907 --> 00:28:56,547 Speaker 3: I mean, every ran Philly Shield gave me in this 544 00:28:56,667 --> 00:28:58,827 Speaker 3: year has been utterly tremendous. 545 00:28:59,187 --> 00:29:01,987 Speaker 13: At three tremendous what's it four now. 546 00:29:01,987 --> 00:29:05,267 Speaker 3: Par yep four four different places it's been that hasn't happened, 547 00:29:05,267 --> 00:29:11,307 Speaker 3: I'm told in for seventy Yeah, incredible, unbelievable. 548 00:29:11,547 --> 00:29:14,467 Speaker 13: He fine, he's Scott Beard well ha been mean he's 549 00:29:14,467 --> 00:29:21,867 Speaker 13: get intructured you sooner? Is leadership nonexistent, non existant, strategically 550 00:29:21,947 --> 00:29:26,707 Speaker 13: and tactically, not inspiring and motivating. And he is, in 551 00:29:26,867 --> 00:29:30,027 Speaker 13: my eyes, it's not even the top four locks in 552 00:29:30,067 --> 00:29:32,467 Speaker 13: New Zealand rugby at the moment. Sam Darry's far better 553 00:29:33,907 --> 00:29:34,347 Speaker 13: I think on. 554 00:29:34,387 --> 00:29:36,747 Speaker 3: His day and he is among the best locks. I 555 00:29:37,867 --> 00:29:40,467 Speaker 3: would say that he is one of the best two 556 00:29:40,587 --> 00:29:43,667 Speaker 3: locks in the country on his day. We spoke a 557 00:29:43,667 --> 00:29:46,587 Speaker 3: lot about Scott Barrett last weekend and even on Monday 558 00:29:46,627 --> 00:29:48,387 Speaker 3: night as well, and I just I don't know. I 559 00:29:49,627 --> 00:29:53,547 Speaker 3: wonder whether he might be better off being unencumbered by 560 00:29:54,107 --> 00:29:56,467 Speaker 3: the captaincy because I don't know, it just seems to 561 00:29:56,587 --> 00:29:59,307 Speaker 3: furrow his brow a lot at the moment. You know, 562 00:29:59,347 --> 00:30:01,867 Speaker 3: I don't think they'll make a change, but yeah, I 563 00:30:01,987 --> 00:30:03,387 Speaker 3: take on board what you're saying. I think he's a 564 00:30:03,507 --> 00:30:06,467 Speaker 3: terrific rugby player. He's been given the captain c. I 565 00:30:06,627 --> 00:30:09,307 Speaker 3: just don't know whether it sits as comfortably on his 566 00:30:09,427 --> 00:30:12,227 Speaker 3: shoulders as everybody hoped that it would. 567 00:30:13,547 --> 00:30:14,827 Speaker 13: Ardie Chave is far better. 568 00:30:16,507 --> 00:30:17,867 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well he's the other option, isn't it. And that 569 00:30:17,867 --> 00:30:20,027 Speaker 3: doesn't help Scott Barrett either. Knowing that there's someone in 570 00:30:20,107 --> 00:30:21,467 Speaker 3: the team who I think if we had a vote 571 00:30:21,467 --> 00:30:25,707 Speaker 3: to in, if we took a hundred texts or the 572 00:30:25,827 --> 00:30:28,347 Speaker 3: rugby public had a vote, I think most people would 573 00:30:28,347 --> 00:30:30,387 Speaker 3: say Artie Saves should be the captain. I don't think 574 00:30:30,427 --> 00:30:33,507 Speaker 3: they'll make a change. I would love to see Scott 575 00:30:33,547 --> 00:30:36,947 Speaker 3: Barrett dominate the Test match like he did against South 576 00:30:36,947 --> 00:30:39,427 Speaker 3: Africa the previous week at Eden Parker. I thought he 577 00:30:39,507 --> 00:30:41,667 Speaker 3: was tremendous that night and I thought that was going 578 00:30:41,747 --> 00:30:44,667 Speaker 3: to be the turning point for him. Unfortunately, the loss 579 00:30:44,707 --> 00:30:48,027 Speaker 3: in Wellington and what happened afterwards as well. I just 580 00:30:48,067 --> 00:30:50,827 Speaker 3: think we needed more from him afterwards as well. And 581 00:30:50,907 --> 00:30:52,547 Speaker 3: I know it's not as important as what you do 582 00:30:52,667 --> 00:30:56,587 Speaker 3: on the field, but I think we needed more from 583 00:30:56,947 --> 00:31:02,147 Speaker 3: Scott Barrett afterwards, you know, being as upset as we were. Again. 584 00:31:02,987 --> 00:31:04,907 Speaker 3: Part of his persona is that he doesn't ride the 585 00:31:04,987 --> 00:31:08,507 Speaker 3: highs too high or the lie too low. Very level guy, 586 00:31:08,627 --> 00:31:10,627 Speaker 3: and that is probably why he's done so well on 587 00:31:10,747 --> 00:31:13,907 Speaker 3: rugby at the elite level. But I would have liked 588 00:31:13,907 --> 00:31:16,827 Speaker 3: to have seen a bit more emotion from him on 589 00:31:16,907 --> 00:31:19,147 Speaker 3: the back end of the biggest defeat the All Blacks 590 00:31:19,187 --> 00:31:19,827 Speaker 3: have ever suffered. 591 00:31:19,867 --> 00:31:20,067 Speaker 7: Ian. 592 00:31:20,067 --> 00:31:24,707 Speaker 3: Thanks for chatting, mate, I appreciate it, Bryan says Jason. 593 00:31:24,787 --> 00:31:26,947 Speaker 3: The sadistic side of me would somehow enjoy seeing the 594 00:31:26,947 --> 00:31:29,267 Speaker 3: All Blacks lose the two games to Australia, just to 595 00:31:29,427 --> 00:31:32,467 Speaker 3: listen to the meltdown on your show. I don't believe 596 00:31:32,467 --> 00:31:38,147 Speaker 3: it will happen, but it could. Yeah, I'll move, I'll 597 00:31:38,227 --> 00:31:40,947 Speaker 3: move to the to the next one.

Selection 631 00:33:23,707 --> 00:33:26,587 Speaker 14: and I don't even know who the other two selectors 632 00:33:26,627 --> 00:33:29,387 Speaker 14: are on the three Many battle, but obviously Raiser has 633 00:33:29,467 --> 00:33:31,187 Speaker 14: the final say, and. 634 00:33:32,787 --> 00:33:36,187 Speaker 3: I can tell Grant, Jason Ryan and Scott Hanson the 635 00:33:36,267 --> 00:33:37,507 Speaker 3: three of them select the team. 636 00:33:37,667 --> 00:33:40,907 Speaker 14: Okay, yeah, well they all have to take a bit 637 00:33:40,947 --> 00:33:42,947 Speaker 14: of the bin. But I said Razor, obviously we'd have 638 00:33:43,027 --> 00:33:48,187 Speaker 14: the final say. It's his disagreement, and that is tupou 639 00:33:48,267 --> 00:33:53,827 Speaker 14: Vai had been playing fantastically at blindside flanker Holland debuing 640 00:33:53,987 --> 00:33:57,107 Speaker 14: had been playing fantastically is Locke, So what if Raza 641 00:33:57,227 --> 00:34:00,227 Speaker 14: do He puts tupou Vai back to Locke and puts 642 00:34:00,267 --> 00:34:01,227 Speaker 14: Holland on the bench. 643 00:34:02,587 --> 00:34:06,587 Speaker 3: I thought that was an unusual decision as well. They 644 00:34:06,707 --> 00:34:11,587 Speaker 3: stuck obviously with what worked in Auckland, because you'll remember 645 00:34:11,627 --> 00:34:14,467 Speaker 3: that went back to Locke in Auckland. Simon Parker came in. 646 00:34:14,787 --> 00:34:17,667 Speaker 3: I think they're massive fans of Simon Parker. But having 647 00:34:17,747 --> 00:34:20,147 Speaker 3: said that grant like you. When they played too Porva 648 00:34:20,827 --> 00:34:23,627 Speaker 3: at blindside in four of the first five Test matches 649 00:34:23,667 --> 00:34:26,067 Speaker 3: of the year, I thought that meant they were all 650 00:34:26,147 --> 00:34:28,227 Speaker 3: in on him. I thought that meant that he was 651 00:34:28,267 --> 00:34:30,827 Speaker 3: going to wear six against South Africa. And I thought, 652 00:34:30,827 --> 00:34:33,467 Speaker 3: Fabian Holand you're right, had what he played the first 653 00:34:34,147 --> 00:34:36,707 Speaker 3: five test matches? He started the first five tests, didn't he? 654 00:34:36,907 --> 00:34:37,987 Speaker 3: And I thought was very good? 655 00:34:39,187 --> 00:34:39,387 Speaker 7: Yeah? 656 00:34:39,667 --> 00:34:44,507 Speaker 14: Yeah, And Parker, you know, he's okay, but to my mind, 657 00:34:44,747 --> 00:34:47,307 Speaker 14: he's for the type of game. Well raise, they keep 658 00:34:47,347 --> 00:34:49,667 Speaker 14: saying the fast game and then they do box kicking 659 00:34:50,067 --> 00:34:53,787 Speaker 14: all the time, and anyway, you know, he pears a 660 00:34:53,867 --> 00:34:57,627 Speaker 14: bit too slow and that for the type of game 661 00:34:57,947 --> 00:35:01,107 Speaker 14: that they want to play. Good player, but anyway, we'll 662 00:35:01,107 --> 00:35:03,867 Speaker 14: see how they go with that selection. 663 00:35:04,347 --> 00:35:07,107 Speaker 11: And yeah, I mentioned you've mentioned it. 664 00:35:07,507 --> 00:35:11,387 Speaker 14: Have you ever talked to anyone who actually thinks that 665 00:35:11,467 --> 00:35:13,107 Speaker 14: the box kicking is a good idea? 666 00:35:14,627 --> 00:35:14,667 Speaker 7: No? 667 00:35:14,867 --> 00:35:18,027 Speaker 3: I haven't, No, I haven't, And in fact, I've spoken 668 00:35:18,067 --> 00:35:22,827 Speaker 3: to more people who just detest it, if I'm honest 669 00:35:22,827 --> 00:35:28,587 Speaker 3: with including Wayne Smith. I think he was a passionate 670 00:35:29,027 --> 00:35:32,147 Speaker 3: opponent of the box kick. They clearly do it for 671 00:35:32,227 --> 00:35:35,067 Speaker 3: a reason, mate, Otherwise they wouldn't do it. They clearly 672 00:35:35,107 --> 00:35:38,947 Speaker 3: do it for a reason. They believe that contestable ball 673 00:35:39,987 --> 00:35:44,627 Speaker 3: is a better option than trying to either bash it 674 00:35:44,707 --> 00:35:46,547 Speaker 3: out or run it out from their own twenty two 675 00:35:46,667 --> 00:35:48,867 Speaker 3: or inside their own half. They never box kick in 676 00:35:48,947 --> 00:35:52,547 Speaker 3: the opposition half obviously, But yeah, I can only presume 677 00:35:52,707 --> 00:35:56,387 Speaker 3: that the science behind the strategy is sound, otherwise they 678 00:35:56,427 --> 00:35:56,987 Speaker 3: wouldn't do it. 679 00:35:57,907 --> 00:36:00,627 Speaker 14: Well, yeah, well, how I would disagree with that is 680 00:36:00,867 --> 00:36:02,747 Speaker 14: when the half back. I mean, obviously, if you're hard 681 00:36:02,787 --> 00:36:05,227 Speaker 14: on the fence on your goal liner in your twenty two, sure, 682 00:36:05,267 --> 00:36:07,427 Speaker 14: any topic kick you need to kick it out, at 683 00:36:07,507 --> 00:36:09,787 Speaker 14: least it's the last minutes and you need to try. 684 00:36:09,907 --> 00:36:12,787 Speaker 14: But okay, when the box kicking comes from either the 685 00:36:12,907 --> 00:36:16,747 Speaker 14: rucks or the scrub. Now, to do a box kick, 686 00:36:16,787 --> 00:36:19,187 Speaker 14: the halfback has to have the ball in his hands, 687 00:36:19,467 --> 00:36:22,427 Speaker 14: so he's got one hundred percent possession. Besides, got one 688 00:36:22,507 --> 00:36:25,187 Speaker 14: hundred percent possession, do a box kick, you've only got 689 00:36:25,227 --> 00:36:27,147 Speaker 14: a fifty to fifty chance to get the ball back. 690 00:36:27,307 --> 00:36:28,827 Speaker 14: Can't work out the mass? 691 00:36:29,267 --> 00:36:31,547 Speaker 3: No, you, no, and no. The maths are sound, and 692 00:36:31,947 --> 00:36:33,587 Speaker 3: the only bit does not sound grant is that we're 693 00:36:33,587 --> 00:36:36,747 Speaker 3: not winning fifty percent of them. I spoke about this 694 00:36:36,867 --> 00:36:38,907 Speaker 3: last week with Jason. Ryan said, if it's fifty fifty, 695 00:36:39,227 --> 00:36:41,347 Speaker 3: then why are we winning fifty percent of them? Because 696 00:36:41,387 --> 00:36:45,027 Speaker 3: we aren't. So look again, I think the tactics I 697 00:36:45,107 --> 00:36:48,107 Speaker 3: hope anyway, will be different against Australia. I hope we 698 00:36:48,227 --> 00:36:51,427 Speaker 3: see less kicking from the you know, from the base 699 00:36:52,027 --> 00:36:55,627 Speaker 3: next weekend. I guess we'll wait and see. Thanks for chatting, grunt, 700 00:36:55,707 --> 00:36:58,547 Speaker 3: good to have you come through. Well, we maybe will 701 00:36:58,627 --> 00:37:00,187 Speaker 3: chat next weekend, although I get the feeling will be 702 00:37:00,187 --> 00:37:02,667 Speaker 3: busy again. But as much chance as anybody you're getting through. 703 00:37:02,667 --> 00:37:04,987 Speaker 3: Always enjoy chatting. And he says, I'm not so sure 704 00:37:05,027 --> 00:37:08,387 Speaker 3: about Eden Park. This is where we'll see Joe Schmidt's 705 00:37:08,427 --> 00:37:11,907 Speaker 3: blueprints on this Wallaby side. So yes, the All Blacks 706 00:37:11,947 --> 00:37:14,907 Speaker 3: perhaps will win, but it'll do nothing to mask the 707 00:37:14,987 --> 00:37:18,587 Speaker 3: bigger problem with the team. But how good yet? All 708 00:37:18,627 --> 00:37:21,787 Speaker 3: over the show is the NPC. My team wins the Shield, 709 00:37:21,827 --> 00:37:25,427 Speaker 3: says Andy, then concede nearly one hundred and eighty points 710 00:37:25,467 --> 00:37:28,387 Speaker 3: in three weeks. You gotta love it. I do love 711 00:37:28,427 --> 00:37:30,627 Speaker 3: the Shield, I must say. I got home from work 712 00:37:30,667 --> 00:37:33,707 Speaker 3: yesterday and sat down and watched that Shield match Canterbury 713 00:37:33,747 --> 00:37:36,627 Speaker 3: Otago and I just thought Cannabury might just buck the 714 00:37:36,667 --> 00:37:39,507 Speaker 3: trend of twenty twenty five. It might just be that. Yes, 715 00:37:39,547 --> 00:37:42,387 Speaker 3: it's been shared around. Yes, Tatanuki gave it to Whyite 716 00:37:42,387 --> 00:37:44,427 Speaker 3: cut or White Cuttle, gave it to Southland. Southland gave 717 00:37:44,467 --> 00:37:46,947 Speaker 3: it to Canterbury and Tasman almost won out last weekend. 718 00:37:46,987 --> 00:37:49,067 Speaker 3: But I thought, nah, that's a Cannabury will win it. 719 00:37:49,107 --> 00:37:50,667 Speaker 3: They'll lock it up. That's just what they do in 720 00:37:50,787 --> 00:37:53,627 Speaker 3: Red and Black Country. And they were fifteen points ahead 721 00:37:53,667 --> 00:38:00,747 Speaker 3: with twenty minutes to go. But Otago incredible that Lucas Casey. 722 00:38:01,147 --> 00:38:03,227 Speaker 3: I wasn't aware of that cat. I haven't watched enough 723 00:38:03,267 --> 00:38:06,827 Speaker 3: of Otago to have for him to sort of rotated 724 00:38:06,867 --> 00:38:09,627 Speaker 3: into my orbit. But those two tries he got, the 725 00:38:09,747 --> 00:38:13,627 Speaker 3: second one, just see him step the fallback. It's running 726 00:38:13,747 --> 00:38:17,227 Speaker 3: like a center. Chris says Ponty. I'd love to see 727 00:38:17,227 --> 00:38:19,267 Speaker 3: the Bleedersloe Cup go back to the old way the 728 00:38:19,387 --> 00:38:22,427 Speaker 3: last game of the series, where ever that game is held. Yeah, 729 00:38:22,427 --> 00:38:27,907 Speaker 3: the three game Bledislow Cup series. Chris, you know that. 730 00:38:28,627 --> 00:38:30,867 Speaker 3: When was the last time we had three Bledisloe Cup tests. 731 00:38:31,067 --> 00:38:33,587 Speaker 3: I know it's a clogged calendar, but you have to 732 00:38:33,627 --> 00:38:37,267 Speaker 3: go back a whil, don't you, Paul, says Ponty. Due 733 00:38:37,267 --> 00:38:39,347 Speaker 3: to the bad weather they're currently hitting New Zealand. I'd 734 00:38:39,387 --> 00:38:42,507 Speaker 3: say it'd be fitting to call the NPC off now 735 00:38:42,587 --> 00:38:47,107 Speaker 3: for the season and give the Mighty Otago the Ranfury 736 00:38:47,187 --> 00:38:49,947 Speaker 3: Shield for the summer. I've only got one more challenge 737 00:38:50,747 --> 00:38:52,667 Speaker 3: and you'd have to think they'll be all right against 738 00:38:52,707 --> 00:38:57,187 Speaker 3: North Harbor. But who would bet against North Harbor taking 739 00:38:57,227 --> 00:38:59,827 Speaker 3: it off Otago and Duneda next week given what has 740 00:38:59,867 --> 00:39:02,867 Speaker 3: happened already this season, and then if North Harbor win it, 741 00:39:03,587 --> 00:39:06,827 Speaker 3: then Southland go to Albany. So Southland good when it's 742 00:39:06,827 --> 00:39:13,587 Speaker 3: back Jason, great game yesterday, Otago over the Evil Empire, 743 00:39:13,667 --> 00:39:16,307 Speaker 3: Canterbury the shield back home. Look for a big future 744 00:39:16,347 --> 00:39:18,187 Speaker 3: for Lucas Casey. Did you see us trist Yeah? I 745 00:39:18,347 --> 00:39:21,547 Speaker 3: liked it, and Bringa says don't forget Piney. The under 746 00:39:21,627 --> 00:39:25,187 Speaker 3: eighty five kilogram final is the curtain raiser for the 747 00:39:25,227 --> 00:39:28,227 Speaker 3: Bledisloe Test next week. Go the mighty old Boys light 748 00:39:28,307 --> 00:39:31,667 Speaker 3: Bears from christ Church into their third final in a row. Brendan, 749 00:39:31,707 --> 00:39:34,787 Speaker 3: I know who you're playing as well. You are playing Pornicky, 750 00:39:36,187 --> 00:39:39,187 Speaker 3: coached by Ross Bond. He's part of the coaching group anyway. 751 00:39:39,187 --> 00:39:42,027 Speaker 3: I don't if he's the actual head coach, but he's involved. 752 00:39:42,307 --> 00:39:44,987 Speaker 3: I got a text from Ross bond last night saying 753 00:39:45,027 --> 00:39:49,267 Speaker 3: I'll see you at Auckland. Where's a Wizards text? I'm 754 00:39:49,267 --> 00:39:50,547 Speaker 3: just going to bring it up here because he was 755 00:39:50,667 --> 00:39:55,387 Speaker 3: He wasn't gloating necessarily. Another day trip to the Land 756 00:39:55,467 --> 00:39:59,867 Speaker 3: of Sales, he said, said BONDI we were thirty three 757 00:39:59,947 --> 00:40:03,507 Speaker 3: seven ahead at halftime.

And I think I've said it across 776 00:40:57,627 --> 00:41:00,507 Speaker 3: the year, it's obvious just how much it means to 777 00:41:00,627 --> 00:41:03,787 Speaker 3: these players. All of the teams who have won it 778 00:41:03,907 --> 00:41:11,147 Speaker 3: have just been utterly jubilant at the final whistle.

So we've really had to 856 00:45:32,467 --> 00:45:34,667 Speaker 15: compartmentalize and take things one day at a time and 857 00:45:35,387 --> 00:45:38,147 Speaker 15: focus from latask your hands, which is taking this sery 858 00:45:38,267 --> 00:45:38,547 Speaker 15: through it. 859 00:45:39,387 --> 00:45:41,107 Speaker 3: How was this explained to the players. 860 00:45:42,507 --> 00:45:45,547 Speaker 15: There's a lot of conversations that we've had with then 861 00:45:45,627 --> 00:45:49,627 Speaker 15: the playing group, communications from the Players Association along with 862 00:45:49,827 --> 00:45:53,027 Speaker 15: Bonnie Villains and I guess some player for them to 863 00:45:53,107 --> 00:45:55,467 Speaker 15: do more than others, but a lot of the team 864 00:45:55,467 --> 00:46:02,187 Speaker 15: messaging has been about Bonne Villain and the staffing group, 865 00:46:03,307 --> 00:46:05,547 Speaker 15: you know, as you mentioned in the media earlier, still 866 00:46:05,587 --> 00:46:08,627 Speaker 15: being a negotiation and trying to come to a resolution 867 00:46:08,787 --> 00:46:12,587 Speaker 15: and untold here able to you know, thought out their 868 00:46:13,427 --> 00:46:17,267 Speaker 15: quote unquote discute.

So it's obviously challenging to you know, be 883 00:46:57,787 --> 00:47:00,227 Speaker 15: in this space without her. I've never been in the 884 00:47:00,307 --> 00:47:03,667 Speaker 15: friends right Nold as my coach. So yeah, like I said, 885 00:47:03,707 --> 00:47:06,267 Speaker 15: we are unprecedented and obviously I think at the core 886 00:47:06,427 --> 00:47:09,507 Speaker 15: or there's you know, people who love playing net for 887 00:47:09,627 --> 00:47:11,307 Speaker 15: who want to be a part of netball and contrary 888 00:47:11,347 --> 00:47:13,547 Speaker 15: to the black streety is this environment and so I 889 00:47:13,627 --> 00:47:16,427 Speaker 15: guess for them to have turned in the way they 890 00:47:16,547 --> 00:47:20,227 Speaker 15: have is really challenging to you know, see the game 891 00:47:20,507 --> 00:47:24,307 Speaker 15: and the team and the people you care about, I 892 00:47:24,427 --> 00:47:28,947 Speaker 15: guess in the situation. So just navigating that as it comes. 893 00:47:29,267 --> 00:47:32,227 Speaker 3: Yeah, is there a difference of opinion within the playing 894 00:47:32,267 --> 00:47:32,867 Speaker 3: group about this? 895 00:47:34,867 --> 00:47:36,987 Speaker 15: I won't say show. I think what we have shared 896 00:47:37,987 --> 00:47:40,547 Speaker 15: you on and knowing that there's a job at hand 897 00:47:40,587 --> 00:47:43,027 Speaker 15: and then to get that done and there hasn't been 898 00:47:43,147 --> 00:47:46,627 Speaker 15: that much opportunity for us to speculate or to you know, 899 00:47:48,107 --> 00:47:52,267 Speaker 15: add to rumor for us what we've been, what's been 900 00:47:52,267 --> 00:47:55,907 Speaker 15: shaved of us, but enough for us to have a 901 00:47:56,107 --> 00:48:00,147 Speaker 15: united I guess point of view and going forward and 902 00:48:00,587 --> 00:48:02,427 Speaker 15: being united with one of our team values. And so 903 00:48:02,547 --> 00:48:05,587 Speaker 15: that's really guided us in terms of getting around all 904 00:48:05,627 --> 00:48:09,507 Speaker 15: the players in the group and ensuring that the people 905 00:48:09,547 --> 00:48:13,907 Speaker 15: you can't have in this face experiencing a typical sil 906 00:48:13,987 --> 00:48:16,227 Speaker 15: of friends environment as as standard as it can be 907 00:48:16,307 --> 00:48:19,147 Speaker 15: given the circumstances, but having a positive experience is have 908 00:48:19,227 --> 00:48:22,187 Speaker 15: as much confidence in their abilities and training under their 909 00:48:22,187 --> 00:48:24,667 Speaker 15: about to perform.

I think being able to lean 979 00:51:52,427 --> 00:51:56,707 Speaker 15: on each other, especially players being across different parts of 980 00:51:56,787 --> 00:52:00,427 Speaker 15: the court and having different levels of captives experience has 981 00:52:00,467 --> 00:52:03,547 Speaker 15: been great for me intensive learning off them and understanding 982 00:52:04,027 --> 00:52:05,747 Speaker 15: what kind of captain I want to be and where 983 00:52:05,787 --> 00:52:08,307 Speaker 15: I see my are flitting, and but also just sharing 984 00:52:08,347 --> 00:52:12,347 Speaker 15: that load of leadership, especially given the current space of 985 00:52:12,427 --> 00:52:14,787 Speaker 15: the team at the moment, So just being able to 986 00:52:14,907 --> 00:52:18,187 Speaker 15: share the pressure and share, lean on each other a 987 00:52:18,267 --> 00:52:20,827 Speaker 15: bit more and be a lot for one person's take. 988 00:52:20,787 --> 00:52:21,227 Speaker 17: At the moment. 989 00:52:21,347 --> 00:52:24,187 Speaker 15: So I think it's fantastic to have three others around 990 00:52:24,347 --> 00:52:27,267 Speaker 15: me and like wise me be able to support the 991 00:52:27,387 --> 00:52:29,147 Speaker 15: others in all parts of the job. 992 00:52:29,507 --> 00:52:31,267 Speaker 3: And it's been a while since the Silver Ferns have 993 00:52:31,347 --> 00:52:33,667 Speaker 3: played South Africa, so have you managed to get a 994 00:52:33,707 --> 00:52:36,267 Speaker 3: gauge on the threats that they'll pose to you across 995 00:52:36,307 --> 00:52:36,987 Speaker 3: these three games? 996 00:52:37,907 --> 00:52:40,347 Speaker 15: Yeah? Absolutely, spend a lot of time in camp, you know, 997 00:52:40,627 --> 00:52:43,507 Speaker 15: studying video and looking at what we're coming up against 998 00:52:43,547 --> 00:52:46,427 Speaker 15: and preparing the game plans and the like, and it's 999 00:52:46,547 --> 00:52:50,467 Speaker 15: exciting abortunity. They're a very strong side, very athletic, they 1000 00:52:50,627 --> 00:52:52,707 Speaker 15: have a lot of firepower and both ends of the 1001 00:52:52,787 --> 00:52:56,587 Speaker 15: court lots of hungry up and coming players. So it's 1002 00:52:56,587 --> 00:53:00,067 Speaker 15: a really good opportunity to test ourselves against them and 1003 00:53:01,027 --> 00:53:04,227 Speaker 15: really see where we're at in national basnight. It's been 1004 00:53:04,267 --> 00:53:07,027 Speaker 15: a long time since you've played them, and yeah, there's 1005 00:53:07,027 --> 00:53:09,027 Speaker 15: an an element of unknown, but I guess it's exciting 1006 00:53:09,067 --> 00:53:10,387 Speaker 15: for us to really see the measure up. 1007 00:53:10,707 --> 00:53:13,307 Speaker 3: And of course your presence here as a result of 1008 00:53:13,387 --> 00:53:16,187 Speaker 3: the change in eligibility rules and I know that's now 1009 00:53:16,467 --> 00:53:19,827 Speaker 3: sort of done and dusted, and thank goodness that that 1010 00:53:20,227 --> 00:53:22,587 Speaker 3: it's finally come to fruition. But when you reflect back 1011 00:53:22,627 --> 00:53:25,907 Speaker 3: on that time now, Grace, how do you reflect upon it? 1012 00:53:27,507 --> 00:53:28,867 Speaker 15: Yeah, it was a bit of a real wind. I 1013 00:53:28,907 --> 00:53:31,067 Speaker 15: guess it's time last share, knowing that I would be 1014 00:53:31,107 --> 00:53:33,587 Speaker 15: able to see out there international season, but that would 1015 00:53:33,627 --> 00:53:36,787 Speaker 15: be the end of it for who ever knows. When 1016 00:53:37,587 --> 00:53:40,627 Speaker 15: it was hard to think about the future and what 1017 00:53:40,707 --> 00:53:42,547 Speaker 15: that could look like to me and didn't know when 1018 00:53:42,587 --> 00:53:44,107 Speaker 15: I'd be able to put the drifts back on again. 1019 00:53:44,187 --> 00:53:46,027 Speaker 15: So I think the fast forwards now and be in 1020 00:53:46,067 --> 00:53:48,907 Speaker 15: this place as I am very grateful for and the 1021 00:53:48,947 --> 00:53:51,067 Speaker 15: way that the starts have aligned, and not only for myself, 1022 00:53:51,107 --> 00:53:52,747 Speaker 15: with the other players who are also able to take 1023 00:53:52,787 --> 00:53:55,387 Speaker 15: on the opportunity to play overseas. I think it's fantastic 1024 00:53:55,467 --> 00:53:58,387 Speaker 15: and I've been saying that I do believe it could 1025 00:53:58,387 --> 00:54:01,507 Speaker 15: win when and I really do mean that, both for 1026 00:54:01,627 --> 00:54:05,147 Speaker 15: the players who are able to challenge themselves and grow 1027 00:54:05,187 --> 00:54:07,707 Speaker 15: at individuals with all, both for the game in New 1028 00:54:07,787 --> 00:54:11,987 Speaker 15: Zealand and the opportunity that it opens up for pathways 1029 00:54:12,027 --> 00:54:16,387 Speaker 15: to younger players and opportunities to get up an aim dispremiership. 1030 00:54:16,467 --> 00:54:18,987 Speaker 15: So it's exciting and I'd be very grateful to be 1031 00:54:19,067 --> 00:54:22,267 Speaker 15: back here in the team that I love, with the 1032 00:54:22,347 --> 00:54:24,267 Speaker 15: girls that I've grown up from, a hit fullworth and 1033 00:54:24,307 --> 00:54:25,707 Speaker 15: I'm just so happy to be taking court worth. 1034 00:54:25,947 --> 00:54:28,627 Speaker 3: It'd be great to be talking about some nepple on 1035 00:54:28,747 --> 00:54:30,667 Speaker 3: the court. Grace, thanks for taking the time. All the 1036 00:54:30,747 --> 00:54:33,027 Speaker 3: best in this three game series against South Africa. 1037 00:54:33,187 --> 00:54:33,907 Speaker 15: Yeah, thank you so much. 1038 00:54:33,987 --> 00:54:36,387 Speaker 3: No, thank you, Grace. Grace wiki there out of the 1039 00:54:36,507 --> 00:54:39,467 Speaker 3: Silver Ferns seven forty Tonight, seven forty Wednesday, seven forty 1040 00:54:39,547 --> 00:54:43,267 Speaker 3: next Sunday. All those games incidentally are live on Gold 1041 00:54:43,307 --> 00:54:46,267 Speaker 3: Sport and iHeartRadio, so you can tune in and hear 1042 00:54:46,307 --> 00:54:49,227 Speaker 3: what happens on the court. Look, I mean clearly, this 1043 00:54:49,347 --> 00:54:53,307 Speaker 3: has been hugely disruptive to the players and I'd imagine 1044 00:54:53,307 --> 00:54:55,787 Speaker 3: there would be divided opinion in the team over this 1045 00:54:56,467 --> 00:54:59,507 Speaker 3: has to be and there's no clarity that beyond this series. 1046 00:55:00,347 --> 00:55:03,507 Speaker 3: The Silver Ferns, after this three game series against South Africa, 1047 00:55:03,547 --> 00:55:06,827 Speaker 3: played the Constellation Cup four Tests against Australia next month 1048 00:55:06,867 --> 00:55:10,027 Speaker 3: to home to away. Is Dame Nolinge Toto. We're going 1049 00:55:10,107 --> 00:55:14,307 Speaker 3: to be back for those games. If not, what happens. 1050 00:55:15,907 --> 00:55:18,907 Speaker 3: The reason she's not there for these games is because 1051 00:55:18,987 --> 00:55:23,547 Speaker 3: of this ongoing investigation and the fact that as I 1052 00:55:23,707 --> 00:55:28,507 Speaker 3: understand it. Anyway, these issues, whatever they were, were raised 1053 00:55:28,507 --> 00:55:31,907 Speaker 3: a long time ago and it's only now only now 1054 00:55:32,827 --> 00:55:36,747 Speaker 3: that they have seen fit to open this investigation. And 1055 00:55:36,827 --> 00:55:39,947 Speaker 3: that's got so close to this tiny Jerson series that 1056 00:55:39,987 --> 00:55:45,187 Speaker 3: they've had to bring an Evon Yvette rather McCausland jury 1057 00:55:46,387 --> 00:55:48,347 Speaker 3: to be coach. And she said, look after the third game, 1058 00:55:48,387 --> 00:55:48,987 Speaker 3: I'm going back. 1059 00:55:48,907 --> 00:55:49,387 Speaker 11: To my job. 1060 00:55:49,427 --> 00:55:52,707 Speaker 3: I'm going back to my teaching job. So she doesn't 1061 00:55:52,707 --> 00:55:55,827 Speaker 3: want the job full time. It's just a mess, isn't 1062 00:55:55,867 --> 00:55:57,467 Speaker 3: it just an absolute mess? 1063 00:55:59,427 --> 00:55:59,587 Speaker 14: Look? 1064 00:55:59,667 --> 00:56:02,067 Speaker 3: New Zealandship beat South Africa. We're a better netball team 1065 00:56:02,107 --> 00:56:04,387 Speaker 3: than they are. And thankfully we're going to talk about 1066 00:56:04,427 --> 00:56:06,347 Speaker 3: some on court stuff. But you don't envy the play 1067 00:56:06,387 --> 00:56:10,267 Speaker 3: a group in all of this. And what about netball fans? 1068 00:56:10,347 --> 00:56:13,907 Speaker 3: Text here, Gray says she doesn't want to get into 1069 00:56:13,907 --> 00:56:15,587 Speaker 3: the politics of it. That's great, but this is all 1070 00:56:15,627 --> 00:56:20,587 Speaker 3: the sport has become now own goal after own goal, eligibility, 1071 00:56:20,787 --> 00:56:25,907 Speaker 3: TV deals, alleged player revolts, zero transparency. Explain all of 1072 00:56:25,947 --> 00:56:27,307 Speaker 3: that to a ten year old fan. It's a very 1073 00:56:27,307 --> 00:56:35,147 Speaker 3: good point. And at some point you have to look 1074 00:56:35,187 --> 00:56:38,747 Speaker 3: at the board and at the CEO, who I must 1075 00:56:38,787 --> 00:56:41,707 Speaker 3: say has been spectacularly absent while this is all played out. 1076 00:56:42,427 --> 00:56:46,067 Speaker 3: I get the fact that people take leave, but when 1077 00:56:46,347 --> 00:56:50,547 Speaker 3: the sport is at crisis point, the most tumultuous time 1078 00:56:50,987 --> 00:56:55,307 Speaker 3: in its history, you call that off. You at least 1079 00:56:55,387 --> 00:57:01,987 Speaker 3: provide visibility. Jenny Wiley hasn't done that good a bevan. 1080 00:57:03,787 --> 00:57:06,227 Speaker 9: Okyonny, you just took the word straight out of my 1081 00:57:06,667 --> 00:57:11,147 Speaker 9: it's just saying Andy she it's a disgrace. She has 1082 00:57:11,227 --> 00:57:13,347 Speaker 9: to I don't know what's going on. When Ray I 1083 00:57:13,387 --> 00:57:16,267 Speaker 9: heard him last week, he was trying to like he 1084 00:57:16,467 --> 00:57:18,947 Speaker 9: was like trying to skate around the issues. You wouldn't 1085 00:57:18,987 --> 00:57:21,387 Speaker 9: give a straight answer. It's just it's disgraceful. When she 1086 00:57:21,587 --> 00:57:24,827 Speaker 9: pulled New Zealand netball teams out of the Angel, you know, 1087 00:57:24,907 --> 00:57:28,547 Speaker 9: the championship in Australia and then and decided, you know, 1088 00:57:28,587 --> 00:57:31,227 Speaker 9: we're going to go at our own. Then everybody's leaving 1089 00:57:31,707 --> 00:57:34,187 Speaker 9: and then now this what is going on. If this 1090 00:57:34,307 --> 00:57:37,107 Speaker 9: happened in Australia, they'd be like they'd be you know, 1091 00:57:37,267 --> 00:57:38,507 Speaker 9: there's been outcry. 1092 00:57:39,627 --> 00:57:42,627 Speaker 3: Oh one hundred percent of them, and I think that 1093 00:57:42,787 --> 00:57:45,707 Speaker 3: has to happen now. There has to be an examination 1094 00:57:45,827 --> 00:57:48,787 Speaker 3: of the leadership or lack of during this time, not 1095 00:57:48,947 --> 00:57:50,707 Speaker 3: just for this, but there was the like I say, 1096 00:57:50,747 --> 00:57:53,307 Speaker 3: the TV deal is another one, as you say, the 1097 00:57:53,507 --> 00:57:57,187 Speaker 3: going back, the the pulling out of the of the 1098 00:57:57,347 --> 00:58:01,587 Speaker 3: much stronger transcasment competition, the whole eligibility thing, which thankfully 1099 00:58:01,787 --> 00:58:04,827 Speaker 3: was sorted, but it seemed to take an inordinate amount 1100 00:58:04,827 --> 00:58:07,547 Speaker 3: of time to get sorted. It just has been a 1101 00:58:07,667 --> 00:58:10,027 Speaker 3: really forgettable time. 1102 00:58:10,667 --> 00:58:19,587 Speaker 9: And do you remember that in our coach it's got 1103 00:58:19,707 --> 00:58:20,707 Speaker 9: to be an investigation. 1104 00:58:22,107 --> 00:58:25,707 Speaker 3: I do, I do, yes, I remember that that. Well, 1105 00:58:25,747 --> 00:58:27,587 Speaker 3: is it Jeff TV? I can't remember that somebody? 1106 00:58:27,827 --> 00:58:33,867 Speaker 9: Yeah, but I an investigation. He was so he was 1107 00:58:33,947 --> 00:58:35,787 Speaker 9: so curious about I think I don't know what it was, 1108 00:58:35,867 --> 00:58:39,027 Speaker 9: some bunker thing, but yeah, look, I mean what's going on. 1109 00:58:39,307 --> 00:58:42,707 Speaker 9: I have no idea. It's just disgraceful. And I think 1110 00:58:42,827 --> 00:58:46,827 Speaker 9: that personally myself, if I was Noline, I would I 1111 00:58:46,907 --> 00:58:50,107 Speaker 9: would just come out, well, I know she's probably doing 1112 00:58:50,147 --> 00:58:52,067 Speaker 9: the right thing. But if I was here, I wouldn't 1113 00:58:52,067 --> 00:58:54,107 Speaker 9: go back to them. I just said, look, I've had 1114 00:58:54,227 --> 00:58:55,867 Speaker 9: enough you guys treated me this way. 1115 00:58:56,787 --> 00:59:00,227 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think she's probably you know, her number 1116 00:59:00,267 --> 00:59:02,867 Speaker 3: will be in the in the phone of of other 1117 00:59:02,947 --> 00:59:06,587 Speaker 3: netball franchises around the world, both domestic and international. What 1118 00:59:06,747 --> 00:59:07,867 Speaker 3: Dame Nolen as their coach? 1119 00:59:08,787 --> 00:59:10,587 Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly, And I think that they're going to be 1120 00:59:10,667 --> 00:59:13,507 Speaker 9: vulnerable too, like they've set themselves up South Africa are 1121 00:59:13,507 --> 00:59:15,747 Speaker 9: probably going to become an unlight sharks at the water 1122 00:59:15,827 --> 00:59:21,907 Speaker 9: sniff and blood and how much is that gonna compound? 1123 00:59:22,307 --> 00:59:26,867 Speaker 9: You know, if they lose and and comprehensively, it's all 1124 00:59:26,987 --> 00:59:29,107 Speaker 9: going to be about what's happened with Nolan and it's 1125 00:59:29,187 --> 00:59:32,547 Speaker 9: just it's just such to set themselves up for such 1126 00:59:32,627 --> 00:59:35,827 Speaker 9: a failure. I hope they don't, but that's they've done it. 1127 00:59:35,907 --> 00:59:38,667 Speaker 9: They've they've cut off their noses despite their faces. 1128 00:59:39,387 --> 00:59:41,787 Speaker 3: Good man, bevn good points, well made, as always buy 1129 00:59:41,827 --> 00:59:44,787 Speaker 3: you thanks mate. The playing group caused the mess? Stop harping, 1130 00:59:45,107 --> 00:59:48,347 Speaker 3: pinety harping. I don't know what that means. What am 1131 00:59:48,387 --> 00:59:51,027 Speaker 3: I harping about the playing group? Great of the mess? 1132 00:59:51,067 --> 00:59:54,427 Speaker 3: I guess what you mean is that I was giving 1133 00:59:54,507 --> 00:59:57,547 Speaker 3: sympathy to the playing group. I don't know whether the 1134 00:59:57,787 --> 01:00:01,787 Speaker 3: entire blame group has caused the situation. I'm reasonably sure 1135 01:00:01,867 --> 01:00:07,267 Speaker 3: it wasn't a universal player revolt against Dame Nolen. I 1136 01:00:07,347 --> 01:00:09,747 Speaker 3: think those in the team like Grace Wicki, who knows 1137 01:00:09,947 --> 01:00:13,827 Speaker 3: only a silver fern's environment with Dan Nolin as her coach, 1138 01:00:14,067 --> 01:00:17,427 Speaker 3: will be unsettled by this and probably have to choose 1139 01:00:17,467 --> 01:00:19,827 Speaker 3: their words carefully. But I thought Grace wiki was quite open. Actually, 1140 01:00:20,347 --> 01:00:23,587 Speaker 3: she's become a pretty good spokesperson for Neple. 1141 01:00:24,187 --> 01:00:24,427 Speaker 2: Schari. 1142 01:00:24,667 --> 01:00:26,227 Speaker 9: Hi, Hello. 1143 01:00:28,187 --> 01:00:30,827 Speaker 5: I'm a volunteer who goes to who's been going to 1144 01:00:30,907 --> 01:00:33,107 Speaker 5: Nepple for a very very long time, and I go 1145 01:00:33,267 --> 01:00:36,867 Speaker 5: there to coach kids to help out any way I can, 1146 01:00:37,067 --> 01:00:40,467 Speaker 5: and I just think of those kids coming through. I mean, 1147 01:00:40,827 --> 01:00:42,827 Speaker 5: how do you explain that to a group of kids 1148 01:00:43,627 --> 01:00:46,507 Speaker 5: of what I think that I find. I find Netble, 1149 01:00:46,627 --> 01:00:51,547 Speaker 5: New Zealand it's absolutely disgusting what's happened I found. I 1150 01:00:51,707 --> 01:00:55,507 Speaker 5: also think that they have done a disservice to Dame 1151 01:00:55,587 --> 01:00:59,027 Speaker 5: Nole in Totoa and her mother. I'm sorry, but they have. 1152 01:00:59,947 --> 01:01:02,427 Speaker 5: And I just sit back and think, if you don't 1153 01:01:02,627 --> 01:01:06,227 Speaker 5: understand our sport to us who are out there, if 1154 01:01:06,347 --> 01:01:09,507 Speaker 5: every weekend and that rain whatever, then don't be on 1155 01:01:09,627 --> 01:01:13,107 Speaker 5: the board, Get off the board and don't be there 1156 01:01:13,587 --> 01:01:17,067 Speaker 5: because this is a shambles. This should never have happened. 1157 01:01:17,427 --> 01:01:20,107 Speaker 5: And you know I said here and I saw it 1158 01:01:20,187 --> 01:01:22,787 Speaker 5: on CNN News or how the hell did it get 1159 01:01:22,827 --> 01:01:27,067 Speaker 5: on there? And I'm like wow, And that's how important 1160 01:01:27,147 --> 01:01:30,867 Speaker 5: that lady is recognized around the world. And we have 1161 01:01:31,067 --> 01:01:34,107 Speaker 5: done a disservice to her. Netble New Zealand has done 1162 01:01:34,147 --> 01:01:37,427 Speaker 5: a disservice to her. They have done a disservice to 1163 01:01:37,587 --> 01:01:41,267 Speaker 5: our Netble community. And they need to front up and 1164 01:01:41,387 --> 01:01:44,627 Speaker 5: they need to get this sorted. We lose her she goes, 1165 01:01:44,947 --> 01:01:47,347 Speaker 5: it is their fault and so should all their jobs. 1166 01:01:47,707 --> 01:01:50,347 Speaker 5: And that's how I feel. I am so strong about it. 1167 01:01:51,067 --> 01:01:56,107 Speaker 3: I'm pleased you've rungxury, You've articulated yourself brilliantly and clearly. 1168 01:01:56,187 --> 01:01:57,987 Speaker 3: Your heart's in the game. If you volunteer for the 1169 01:01:58,027 --> 01:02:00,427 Speaker 3: game and have done for many years and you see 1170 01:02:01,027 --> 01:02:03,307 Speaker 3: the good that the sport does at the grassroots level, 1171 01:02:03,867 --> 01:02:07,227 Speaker 3: then your right to feel that way, right to feel 1172 01:02:07,267 --> 01:02:09,827 Speaker 3: that way. The thing is about a ten year old 1173 01:02:10,507 --> 01:02:12,187 Speaker 3: fan of netple. They want to come along and wash 1174 01:02:12,227 --> 01:02:16,307 Speaker 3: the silver ferns. They don't really, you know, grasp what's 1175 01:02:16,347 --> 01:02:19,067 Speaker 3: happened here. Some of them will probably you know, turn 1176 01:02:19,147 --> 01:02:22,427 Speaker 3: up and ask where Dame nor Lena is. It's actually 1177 01:02:22,467 --> 01:02:25,387 Speaker 3: a good question Riccardo. 1178 01:02:25,547 --> 01:02:28,667 Speaker 17: Hello, are you making here me? 1179 01:02:28,707 --> 01:02:28,947 Speaker 14: Aka? 1180 01:02:29,387 --> 01:02:30,787 Speaker 3: I can Are you backing your truck? 1181 01:02:32,747 --> 01:02:32,947 Speaker 10: Yeah? 1182 01:02:32,947 --> 01:02:37,307 Speaker 17: I am actually yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, I know embarrassing 1183 01:02:37,667 --> 01:02:42,667 Speaker 17: hey yeah no no, no, no name nor Leans.

So was this bittersweet or was it extra 1303 01:08:56,507 --> 01:08:57,187 Speaker 3: special for you? 1304 01:08:59,067 --> 01:09:02,307 Speaker 7: On reflection, that's probably a little bit just like sprinkles 1305 01:09:02,347 --> 01:09:06,627 Speaker 7: on top. I suppose it's when the ski edge all 1306 01:09:06,667 --> 01:09:08,027 Speaker 7: came out. It was always a game I was looking 1307 01:09:08,067 --> 01:09:11,307 Speaker 7: forward to, but the fact that both teams have been 1308 01:09:11,347 --> 01:09:13,947 Speaker 7: going well and it was sort of one versus too 1309 01:09:13,987 --> 01:09:16,027 Speaker 7: on the table and then you had to have the 1310 01:09:16,107 --> 01:09:19,307 Speaker 7: shield run then for good measure, that became a become 1311 01:09:19,307 --> 01:09:23,307 Speaker 7: a pretty exciting fixture. And yeah, it was really just 1312 01:09:23,387 --> 01:09:26,747 Speaker 7: focusing on the fixture itself, not the occasion or what 1313 01:09:27,347 --> 01:09:29,747 Speaker 7: was going on and behind it. But yeah, I'm reflecting. 1314 01:09:29,827 --> 01:09:34,067 Speaker 7: It is nice to do that, but yeah, I'm really 1315 01:09:34,067 --> 01:09:36,947 Speaker 7: grateful and for my time at Kennerbury. So it's not 1316 01:09:37,067 --> 01:09:39,467 Speaker 7: there's no bitter sweetness here, it's just it's always nice 1317 01:09:39,547 --> 01:09:42,827 Speaker 7: to get one get one up on somewhere where you've 1318 01:09:42,867 --> 01:09:43,427 Speaker 7: been previously. 1319 01:09:43,627 --> 01:09:46,027 Speaker 3: Absolutely, so, did you just try to keep your week 1320 01:09:46,187 --> 01:09:48,947 Speaker 3: normal leading in or did you in some ways embrace 1321 01:09:49,347 --> 01:09:51,147 Speaker 3: the fact that this was a special occasion? 1322 01:09:54,027 --> 01:09:54,467 Speaker 13: Good question. 1323 01:09:54,627 --> 01:09:57,147 Speaker 7: We we didn't hide from the fact that the shield 1324 01:09:57,267 --> 01:09:59,787 Speaker 7: was up for grass, so we spoke about it earlier 1325 01:09:59,787 --> 01:10:03,307 Speaker 7: in the week, but then just tried to keep things normal, 1326 01:10:04,467 --> 01:10:07,947 Speaker 7: just said a normal week and treated it. Yeah, like 1327 01:10:08,547 --> 01:10:10,987 Speaker 7: we had to be really well prepared because Canary were 1328 01:10:10,987 --> 01:10:11,507 Speaker 7: going really good. 1329 01:10:11,507 --> 01:10:12,347 Speaker 11: They were a good side, so. 1330 01:10:13,547 --> 01:10:15,427 Speaker 7: We just said to look after ourselves and that was 1331 01:10:15,467 --> 01:10:17,027 Speaker 7: the focus. Once we'd addressed the shield. 1332 01:10:17,587 --> 01:10:20,187 Speaker 3: Yea, were thirty six twenty one down with twenty five 1333 01:10:20,267 --> 01:10:23,907 Speaker 3: minutes to go. What sort of messages were you sending 1334 01:10:23,987 --> 01:10:24,707 Speaker 3: down at that point? 1335 01:10:27,347 --> 01:10:31,907 Speaker 7: It was a case of just really sticking to what 1336 01:10:32,027 --> 01:10:35,587 Speaker 7: we were doing through glimpses throughout that game, we were 1337 01:10:35,867 --> 01:10:38,507 Speaker 7: periods of play that, you know, when we held the 1338 01:10:38,587 --> 01:10:40,587 Speaker 7: ball and sort of played the way we wanted, we 1339 01:10:40,667 --> 01:10:44,547 Speaker 7: were creating opportunities and sometimes we took them, sometimes we 1340 01:10:44,627 --> 01:10:47,147 Speaker 7: directed them away. So it was more we knew we 1341 01:10:47,267 --> 01:10:49,627 Speaker 7: knew if we just got into our work that the 1342 01:10:49,707 --> 01:10:52,587 Speaker 7: opportunities would be there. And I think the message at 1343 01:10:52,627 --> 01:10:55,467 Speaker 7: halftime was just to try and win the collisions. Think 1344 01:10:55,507 --> 01:10:58,747 Speaker 7: Canary were very good natural staff physically, we didn't make 1345 01:10:58,747 --> 01:11:01,147 Speaker 7: a lot of headway and then when they were carrying, 1346 01:11:01,307 --> 01:11:03,787 Speaker 7: we sort of gave them the game line. So it 1347 01:11:03,907 --> 01:11:05,627 Speaker 7: was just a message at half time to go out 1348 01:11:05,627 --> 01:11:09,187 Speaker 7: and win. Collision switched. The boys did really well, and yeah, 1349 01:11:09,187 --> 01:11:10,787 Speaker 7: it was then it was just sticking to what we're 1350 01:11:11,347 --> 01:11:14,507 Speaker 7: how we plan to play Canterbury and trusting that and 1351 01:11:14,667 --> 01:11:16,987 Speaker 7: then when the opportunities come up, just for the boys 1352 01:11:17,027 --> 01:11:18,827 Speaker 7: just to have a swing your man. 1353 01:11:18,907 --> 01:11:21,867 Speaker 3: Look as Casey goes, all right, doesn't he he's not bad? 1354 01:11:22,707 --> 01:11:27,787 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, he's Yeah, he's some talent. He's he was 1355 01:11:27,827 --> 01:11:30,907 Speaker 7: club player of the Year down here and played a 1356 01:11:30,947 --> 01:11:35,027 Speaker 7: couple of games last year for Tom Donneley, and he 1357 01:11:35,147 --> 01:11:38,667 Speaker 7: was exceptional in the club season and it was pretty 1358 01:11:38,707 --> 01:11:41,867 Speaker 7: evident pretty early that he was able to transfer what 1359 01:11:41,947 --> 01:11:44,387 Speaker 7: he was doing at Club Rugby to this level. And 1360 01:11:44,587 --> 01:11:47,947 Speaker 7: he's just keeps going to new heights, doesn't he. 1361 01:11:48,027 --> 01:11:49,627 Speaker 3: Yeah, secrets out, doesn't it. I mean, I don't know 1362 01:11:49,907 --> 01:11:51,467 Speaker 3: how old would he be. He is he just a 1363 01:11:51,507 --> 01:11:52,467 Speaker 3: kid or was he a bit older? 1364 01:11:52,507 --> 01:11:52,667 Speaker 10: Oh? 1365 01:11:52,747 --> 01:11:53,947 Speaker 7: You know, it's any young? 1366 01:11:55,107 --> 01:11:58,547 Speaker 3: Oh wow, okay, okay, so so yeah, so the next level, 1367 01:11:58,707 --> 01:12:00,387 Speaker 3: I mean, without wanting to pump a young guy's ties 1368 01:12:00,427 --> 01:12:02,227 Speaker 3: up too much, the next level is something you could 1369 01:12:02,227 --> 01:12:03,107 Speaker 3: see him aspiring to. 1370 01:12:03,747 --> 01:12:07,747 Speaker 7: Oh absolutely, Yeah, he's just he's like he's athlete.

I can 1461 01:16:39,187 --> 01:16:42,067 Speaker 11: remember years when it would just be three African runners, 1462 01:16:42,147 --> 01:16:45,067 Speaker 11: you know, sometimes three Kenyans in the medal position, so 1463 01:16:45,267 --> 01:16:48,107 Speaker 11: Jordi b mission. Then you've got Hamish Cure, the black 1464 01:16:48,187 --> 01:16:52,147 Speaker 11: singlet flying over like that. I mean you have to 1465 01:16:52,267 --> 01:16:55,347 Speaker 11: go back in history really to find someone who's who's 1466 01:16:55,427 --> 01:16:57,107 Speaker 11: done as well as him, he's doubled up. I think 1467 01:16:57,187 --> 01:17:00,627 Speaker 11: Stoma from from Cuba is considered the goat, but there 1468 01:17:00,667 --> 01:17:03,067 Speaker 11: were a few boycotts that got in the way of 1469 01:17:03,147 --> 01:17:05,427 Speaker 11: his dominance. But let's see how far homous can go. 1470 01:17:06,027 --> 01:17:08,067 Speaker 3: Looking forward to that Maddy Wishie with a bronze in 1471 01:17:08,107 --> 01:17:09,787 Speaker 3: the shop put overnight as well. More on the track 1472 01:17:09,787 --> 01:17:12,987 Speaker 3: and field after two other black Ferns will play off 1473 01:17:13,027 --> 01:17:15,707 Speaker 3: a third and fourth. You have to give credit to 1474 01:17:16,467 --> 01:17:19,147 Speaker 3: Canada though, and that semi they were superb yesterday. 1475 01:17:20,027 --> 01:17:22,347 Speaker 11: Yeah, you can't blame anyone else. You have to blame 1476 01:17:22,427 --> 01:17:27,827 Speaker 11: Canada if you know yourself. But reference, I applaud you great, 1477 01:17:27,907 --> 01:17:31,267 Speaker 11: great movie by the way, like it might shock some 1478 01:17:31,427 --> 01:17:34,107 Speaker 11: of our the listeners though, poney. But yeah, look, we 1479 01:17:34,187 --> 01:17:37,187 Speaker 11: were missing our best player. Georgia Miller is already our 1480 01:17:37,227 --> 01:17:40,627 Speaker 11: best player and she mainly plays seven. So that's part 1481 01:17:40,667 --> 01:17:43,347 Speaker 11: of the issue I just wanted to talk about, which is, yeah, 1482 01:17:43,387 --> 01:17:46,547 Speaker 11: we got ambushed by Canada, but they have specialists fifteens 1483 01:17:46,587 --> 01:17:49,707 Speaker 11: players who excel and a great example of their halfback, 1484 01:17:50,267 --> 01:17:54,587 Speaker 11: Justin Justin Pellettier, who was brilliant and you know she 1485 01:17:54,707 --> 01:17:58,387 Speaker 11: plays in France, whereas our halfback Racy Pauty Laine, who's 1486 01:17:58,387 --> 01:18:01,467 Speaker 11: still an outstanding player, is playing your trade in the 1487 01:18:01,547 --> 01:18:04,227 Speaker 11: seventh circuit. So it's just not the same really, and 1488 01:18:04,707 --> 01:18:09,707 Speaker 11: a lock like the Goodies kicking goals for Canada, I mean, 1489 01:18:10,387 --> 01:18:13,427 Speaker 11: just a freak really and also committed to the fifteenth game. 1490 01:18:13,987 --> 01:18:16,587 Speaker 3: Yep, so Canada England in the final. That'll be an 1491 01:18:16,707 --> 01:18:19,467 Speaker 3: interesting one to keep eyes on a week from now 1492 01:18:19,987 --> 01:18:22,667 Speaker 3: to the All Blacks, who will gather today presumably to 1493 01:18:22,707 --> 01:18:25,907 Speaker 3: prepare for next Saturday's first Bledislow Cup test. I enjoyed 1494 01:18:25,987 --> 01:18:29,467 Speaker 3: seeing Cam Royguard back out on the field yesterday for Counties. 1495 01:18:30,227 --> 01:18:30,387 Speaker 10: I know. 1496 01:18:30,987 --> 01:18:33,507 Speaker 11: That's one of my favorite stories is cam Royguard who 1497 01:18:33,587 --> 01:18:35,707 Speaker 11: actually played in the White Cuts, who played at Saint 1498 01:18:35,707 --> 01:18:39,827 Speaker 11: Peter's College there and he was, you know, a star, 1499 01:18:39,987 --> 01:18:41,747 Speaker 11: but he had to move to Counties. He played for 1500 01:18:41,867 --> 01:18:44,627 Speaker 11: Orni Federal Club, which is out it's in the Whop 1501 01:18:44,667 --> 01:18:48,067 Speaker 11: whops out towards Port White Cuts or in twenty nineteen 1502 01:18:48,547 --> 01:18:51,067 Speaker 11: and you know, four years later he's at a World Cup. 1503 01:18:51,587 --> 01:18:53,667 Speaker 11: Six years later, he's one of the best players in 1504 01:18:53,747 --> 01:18:56,947 Speaker 11: the world. And you know, just watching him play for 1505 01:18:57,027 --> 01:18:59,667 Speaker 11: the Steelers there just the class he's shown and you know, 1506 01:18:59,867 --> 01:19:02,627 Speaker 11: Razor will be relieved to see that. But if you 1507 01:19:02,707 --> 01:19:04,787 Speaker 11: put Hardy Savier and Will Jordan at the top of 1508 01:19:04,827 --> 01:19:07,507 Speaker 11: the All Blacks tree, well, Roy Guard is right up 1509 01:19:07,507 --> 01:19:07,867 Speaker 11: there too. 1510 01:19:08,467 --> 01:19:10,707 Speaker 3: Agree. I agree? Yeah, he and Cody Taylor for me 1511 01:19:10,787 --> 01:19:12,547 Speaker 3: are the are the others who are in that sort 1512 01:19:12,587 --> 01:19:15,267 Speaker 3: of that upper racial And yeah, just so pleased to 1513 01:19:15,347 --> 01:19:17,667 Speaker 3: have to have camera re Guard back. Presumably they'll put 1514 01:19:17,747 --> 01:19:19,187 Speaker 3: him straight back in the side. I'd imagine that that 1515 01:19:19,227 --> 01:19:23,307 Speaker 3: would be the case. Hey, the Ranfurley Shield has has 1516 01:19:23,347 --> 01:19:25,427 Speaker 3: taken up residents in Duned and we just had Mark 1517 01:19:25,467 --> 01:19:27,867 Speaker 3: Brown on their coach. They'll be happy down and done 1518 01:19:27,907 --> 01:19:29,627 Speaker 3: as you reckon. They'll hold on to it against North 1519 01:19:29,667 --> 01:19:33,707 Speaker 3: Harbor or is there another another change of hands coming well? 1520 01:19:33,747 --> 01:19:36,187 Speaker 11: As Billy Armie Wakerson door do it and it to 1521 01:19:36,227 --> 01:19:40,547 Speaker 11: Poky playing because I do remember a famous Harbor Shield 1522 01:19:40,627 --> 01:19:45,747 Speaker 11: victory was that six I'm going back, yep. But look, 1523 01:19:45,787 --> 01:19:47,907 Speaker 11: I think they can hold on, but they need to 1524 01:19:47,947 --> 01:19:49,547 Speaker 11: hold on to Lucas Casey down there. 1525 01:19:49,627 --> 01:19:51,467 Speaker 3: The fame God what a player. 1526 01:19:51,707 --> 01:19:55,107 Speaker 11: What I mean, Raiser has got to get him in 1527 01:19:55,147 --> 01:19:56,427 Speaker 11: the All Blacks as well, because I mean, I know 1528 01:19:56,507 --> 01:20:00,107 Speaker 11: it's NBC, but it usually translates. You know you can. 1529 01:20:00,467 --> 01:20:02,947 Speaker 11: Jonah was picked from the Condor sevens basically, you know, 1530 01:20:03,067 --> 01:20:06,147 Speaker 11: like you can tell when someone is an absolute superstar. 1531 01:20:06,787 --> 01:20:10,027 Speaker 11: And if he scored the try, he left the last 1532 01:20:10,067 --> 01:20:12,147 Speaker 11: defender I don't want to say fullback because I'm not 1533 01:20:12,267 --> 01:20:14,907 Speaker 11: sure it was the fullback, but left them standing like 1534 01:20:14,987 --> 01:20:18,907 Speaker 11: a statue. Statue, bro you were just there standing while 1535 01:20:18,947 --> 01:20:21,747 Speaker 11: Lucas Casey scored. Would have been a try and touch 1536 01:20:21,867 --> 01:20:25,947 Speaker 11: rugby as well. Yeah, a flanker from Kerry carry up 1537 01:20:26,027 --> 01:20:29,387 Speaker 11: North Kenny Kenny he is. He's a Northlander who's gone 1538 01:20:29,427 --> 01:20:29,987 Speaker 11: down south. 1539 01:20:30,747 --> 01:20:32,867 Speaker 3: I think the Highlands will pick him up, won't they? Surely, 1540 01:20:33,067 --> 01:20:33,907 Speaker 3: surely a good heart. 1541 01:20:34,747 --> 01:20:38,707 Speaker 11: Everybody will be fighting for his signature he is, I mean, 1542 01:20:38,747 --> 01:20:39,507 Speaker 11: a star is born. 1543 01:20:39,547 --> 01:20:39,747 Speaker 16: Really. 1544 01:20:40,147 --> 01:20:42,627 Speaker 11: He did score an incredible try against Wellington, I think, 1545 01:20:43,067 --> 01:20:45,827 Speaker 11: but scoring those two tries you won't see two bitter tries. 1546 01:20:46,187 --> 01:20:48,427 Speaker 11: And of course we've been thropping on Oli Mathis and 1547 01:20:48,467 --> 01:20:52,747 Speaker 11: Henry Pollock from England. But now Lucas Casey seems to 1548 01:20:52,747 --> 01:20:56,187 Speaker 11: have raised the bar for Otago and it almost makes 1549 01:20:56,227 --> 01:21:00,107 Speaker 11: because I'm a white cuttle guy. I remember Arthur Stone 1550 01:21:00,347 --> 01:21:03,627 Speaker 11: scoring an incredible winning try and you know Wayne Smith 1551 01:21:03,707 --> 01:21:05,787 Speaker 11: scored a great win against you guys and Wellington and 1552 01:21:06,387 --> 01:21:08,067 Speaker 11: you know the list goes on, but that's up. There 1553 01:21:08,187 --> 01:21:10,107 Speaker 11: was one of the greatest ran for the Shield winning 1554 01:21:10,147 --> 01:21:10,587 Speaker 11: tries ever. 1555 01:21:11,107 --> 01:21:13,347 Speaker 3: Yep, loved it. Hi, quick word on the Sharks. They 1556 01:21:13,427 --> 01:21:15,867 Speaker 3: beat the Riders. The Riders a week ago thought they 1557 01:21:15,867 --> 01:21:18,707 Speaker 3: were through to the preliminary final. Now they're getting ready 1558 01:21:18,747 --> 01:21:19,387 Speaker 3: for mad Monday. 1559 01:21:20,267 --> 01:21:23,107 Speaker 11: Yeah. And it's kind of funny because Ricky Stewart, you 1560 01:21:23,187 --> 01:21:25,707 Speaker 11: gotta love him, but he's just one of those angry coaches. 1561 01:21:25,747 --> 01:21:27,867 Speaker 11: He's sort of you can imagine smashing up the changer 1562 01:21:27,907 --> 01:21:30,387 Speaker 11: and we're doing whatever. But hey, the Raiders where the 1563 01:21:30,427 --> 01:21:33,467 Speaker 11: pace centers. But sometimes the cream just rises to the top. 1564 01:21:33,827 --> 01:21:36,147 Speaker 11: So two things. One, as a kid, I was a 1565 01:21:36,227 --> 01:21:40,227 Speaker 11: massive fan of Kevin Edle and his son Kal Edle 1566 01:21:40,387 --> 01:21:44,587 Speaker 11: is playing in the centers for the Sharks and he 1567 01:21:44,787 --> 01:21:47,867 Speaker 11: made a fifty meter run that set up a try beautifully, 1568 01:21:48,027 --> 01:21:50,907 Speaker 11: even though the Aussie commentators kind of ignored it and 1569 01:21:50,987 --> 01:21:53,107 Speaker 11: said it was a great cut move between the two halves. 1570 01:21:53,147 --> 01:21:57,547 Speaker 11: I'm like, come on, mate, the Kiwi just ran well 1571 01:21:57,747 --> 01:22:00,227 Speaker 11: son of a te we just ran fifty meters. Can 1572 01:22:00,267 --> 01:22:02,987 Speaker 11: you Australians get on the on the page. But the 1573 01:22:03,067 --> 01:22:05,627 Speaker 11: other thing that stood out was the banter of the 1574 01:22:05,827 --> 01:22:09,827 Speaker 11: Sharks doing the Viking clap, which of course the Raiders 1575 01:22:09,867 --> 01:22:12,707 Speaker 11: fans have adopted from the Iceland football fans. But they 1576 01:22:12,787 --> 01:22:15,547 Speaker 11: did a full Viking clap in camera. So I applaud that. 1577 01:22:16,227 --> 01:22:19,427 Speaker 3: Applaud that too, and applaud you. Always love chatting James. 1578 01:22:19,467 --> 01:22:21,827 Speaker 3: We'll do it again next week.

Alex, you call 1713 01:29:40,667 --> 01:29:44,947 Speaker 3: it a chaotic qualifying session? Can you explain that to us? 1714 01:29:46,027 --> 01:29:48,347 Speaker 16: Afternoon? Piney you checks in the mail for reading that 1715 01:29:48,427 --> 01:29:52,507 Speaker 16: intro out. I mean to be short. There were six 1716 01:29:52,627 --> 01:29:55,267 Speaker 16: red flags through the three qualifying sessions, which is just 1717 01:29:55,347 --> 01:29:57,947 Speaker 16: the most that there has ever been in a single 1718 01:29:58,027 --> 01:30:01,827 Speaker 16: Formula one qualifying session. The previous record was five, which 1719 01:30:01,907 --> 01:30:04,867 Speaker 16: had happened twice, but to go six sex drivers basically 1720 01:30:04,947 --> 01:30:07,307 Speaker 16: hit the wall and ruined their own session and any 1721 01:30:07,387 --> 01:30:09,827 Speaker 16: chance of qualifying something good as they can, and that 1722 01:30:10,027 --> 01:30:12,267 Speaker 16: just left anyone who didn't hit the wall having to 1723 01:30:12,507 --> 01:30:15,387 Speaker 16: sort of start stopping and going to try and get 1724 01:30:15,387 --> 01:30:16,027 Speaker 16: their own laps in. 1725 01:30:16,787 --> 01:30:19,707 Speaker 3: How much then did that play into Liam Lawson's hands. 1726 01:30:21,147 --> 01:30:23,947 Speaker 16: It's a very interesting question because obviously that last session 1727 01:30:24,067 --> 01:30:27,027 Speaker 16: Q three had both Charlote Clerk of Ferrari and Osco 1728 01:30:27,067 --> 01:30:30,827 Speaker 16: Pastre hit the wall and trigger separate red flags. So 1729 01:30:30,907 --> 01:30:33,587 Speaker 16: at that time there was suspecion that was going to 1730 01:30:33,627 --> 01:30:36,227 Speaker 16: start raining and had started to drizzle, and what both 1731 01:30:36,267 --> 01:30:38,667 Speaker 16: Liam Lawson and Isiser Cadjo's Teama had done was they 1732 01:30:38,747 --> 01:30:41,267 Speaker 16: got him set an early lap and then the clerk 1733 01:30:41,347 --> 01:30:43,547 Speaker 16: hit the wall red flag as the rain stud to fall, 1734 01:30:43,667 --> 01:30:46,067 Speaker 16: and that basically meant had it kept raining, no one 1735 01:30:46,067 --> 01:30:49,827 Speaker 16: will be able to better those times. Unfortunately or unfortunately, 1736 01:30:49,907 --> 01:30:52,467 Speaker 16: rather while they were waiting for the red flag to clear, 1737 01:30:52,507 --> 01:30:54,347 Speaker 16: the rain stopped and then so that was sort of like, 1738 01:30:54,427 --> 01:30:57,507 Speaker 16: well will they be able to keep these times up? 1739 01:30:57,907 --> 01:30:59,507 Speaker 16: And then what Lia laws Snatch did was he came 1740 01:30:59,507 --> 01:31:01,507 Speaker 16: out and bettered that time anyway, So to say it's 1741 01:31:01,547 --> 01:31:03,747 Speaker 16: down to the red flags would just be a complete fabrication. 1742 01:31:03,867 --> 01:31:04,867 Speaker 16: This was all his merit. 1743 01:31:05,987 --> 01:31:08,387 Speaker 3: So, I mean, this is tremendous, isn't it. You know, 1744 01:31:08,507 --> 01:31:12,267 Speaker 3: he's had a steadily improving season from what most of 1745 01:31:12,387 --> 01:31:15,827 Speaker 3: us can see. This is this is terrific. Isn't it 1746 01:31:15,907 --> 01:31:18,467 Speaker 3: to qualify third on the starting grid? 1747 01:31:19,507 --> 01:31:20,027 Speaker 16: Absolutely? 1748 01:31:20,067 --> 01:31:20,267 Speaker 2: It is. 1749 01:31:20,267 --> 01:31:22,627 Speaker 16: I mean it's his best result. It's racing balls, equal 1750 01:31:22,667 --> 01:31:25,187 Speaker 16: best result after Yuki Sinoda did it in Brazil last year. 1751 01:31:25,667 --> 01:31:27,467 Speaker 16: But as Liam Lawson will be the first one to 1752 01:31:27,467 --> 01:31:29,347 Speaker 16: point out, you don't get any points for qualifying, you 1753 01:31:29,387 --> 01:31:31,747 Speaker 16: don't get any points of practice. But the positive areas 1754 01:31:31,787 --> 01:31:33,827 Speaker 16: that he has been rapid all weekend. 1755 01:31:34,707 --> 01:31:37,587 Speaker 3: Tell us about the track then and what Liam will 1756 01:31:37,667 --> 01:31:41,267 Speaker 3: have to do to retain or even improve his grid position. 1757 01:31:41,507 --> 01:31:44,347 Speaker 3: Are there lots of opportunities for others to pass him, 1758 01:31:44,387 --> 01:31:46,947 Speaker 3: for for him to pass or what's the what's the 1759 01:31:47,027 --> 01:31:47,467 Speaker 3: course like? 1760 01:31:48,787 --> 01:31:51,747 Speaker 16: So backer is a very interesting track. Sector is one. 1761 01:31:51,867 --> 01:31:53,987 Speaker 16: So it's a traditional sort of street track, which means 1762 01:31:54,067 --> 01:31:55,747 Speaker 16: you sort of think, okay, it's going to be tight 1763 01:31:55,867 --> 01:31:57,107 Speaker 16: for me, narrow, there's not going to be too many 1764 01:31:57,107 --> 01:31:59,707 Speaker 16: opportunities to pass Sector one and two would definitely like 1765 01:31:59,787 --> 01:32:01,347 Speaker 16: that Sector one. There is a lot of sort of 1766 01:32:01,507 --> 01:32:04,347 Speaker 16: ninety degree turns which you can't sort of take at 1767 01:32:04,387 --> 01:32:06,147 Speaker 16: full toddle, and that's where a lot of guys ran 1768 01:32:06,187 --> 01:32:09,507 Speaker 16: in trouble whading the woman getting those red flags. Sector 1769 01:32:09,627 --> 01:32:11,987 Speaker 16: three though, is flat out you get the very long 1770 01:32:12,107 --> 01:32:14,467 Speaker 16: back straight where you do have a lot of opportunity 1771 01:32:14,507 --> 01:32:18,267 Speaker 16: to overpass, to overtake rather and I think promisingly for 1772 01:32:18,387 --> 01:32:21,147 Speaker 16: Len Lawson, he was the quickest three sector three in 1773 01:32:21,267 --> 01:32:23,307 Speaker 16: both of the Friday sessions. I haven't actually looked at 1774 01:32:23,387 --> 01:32:25,867 Speaker 16: last night because I was just too wrapped up in 1775 01:32:25,947 --> 01:32:27,667 Speaker 16: getting a story to get it, but there are definitely 1776 01:32:27,707 --> 01:32:30,547 Speaker 16: good signs that he will be able to potentially move up. However, 1777 01:32:30,547 --> 01:32:33,507 Speaker 16: he does have maxistappen in front of them, so whether 1778 01:32:33,587 --> 01:32:36,107 Speaker 16: or not he'll be able to get around his former teammate, 1779 01:32:36,147 --> 01:32:39,067 Speaker 16: I would be very doubtful, but there is definitely enough 1780 01:32:39,187 --> 01:32:41,107 Speaker 16: there for him to have a very good result tonight. 1781 01:32:41,907 --> 01:32:44,067 Speaker 3: He hasn't raised Formula one on the circuit, but he 1782 01:32:44,187 --> 01:32:47,867 Speaker 3: does have Formula two experience here, so I. 1783 01:32:47,907 --> 01:32:49,987 Speaker 16: Mean, funnily enough, has last with the tobacco back in 1784 01:32:50,147 --> 01:32:52,587 Speaker 16: twenty twenty two he did get third. I think he 1785 01:32:52,747 --> 01:32:55,027 Speaker 16: qualified a bit further down was able to pull off 1786 01:32:55,067 --> 01:32:58,787 Speaker 16: some overtakes during that sort of sprint race. So yeah, 1787 01:32:58,787 --> 01:33:02,427 Speaker 16: it's not a circuit where he's underprepared for anything like that. 1788 01:33:02,507 --> 01:33:04,267 Speaker 16: He does have the experience on it, which I think 1789 01:33:04,427 --> 01:33:06,347 Speaker 16: has already shown over the last couple of time. 1790 01:33:07,787 --> 01:33:09,507 Speaker 3: I guess when you look at at a grid in 1791 01:33:09,587 --> 01:33:11,627 Speaker 3: Formula One at the moment, you expect to see the 1792 01:33:11,707 --> 01:33:16,227 Speaker 3: McLaren's up there near the front, Lando Norris seventh, oscar 1793 01:33:16,307 --> 01:33:20,067 Speaker 3: Ps three ninth on the grid. That doesn't really help Liam, 1794 01:33:20,107 --> 01:33:22,507 Speaker 3: does it having the two fastest cars behind him. 1795 01:33:23,387 --> 01:33:25,947 Speaker 16: No, But I mean we've seen Lando Norris be quick 1796 01:33:26,027 --> 01:33:28,547 Speaker 16: on the Friday and the little bit and the third 1797 01:33:28,587 --> 01:33:31,947 Speaker 16: and final practice yesterday. But McLaren have sort of battled, 1798 01:33:32,387 --> 01:33:34,267 Speaker 16: not just this week, you think to the last race 1799 01:33:34,307 --> 01:33:36,827 Speaker 16: as well at Monza, trying to be able to be 1800 01:33:37,027 --> 01:33:40,027 Speaker 16: fast on these sort of low downforce circuits where you 1801 01:33:40,147 --> 01:33:42,587 Speaker 16: basically can just fly like and that's why we've seen 1802 01:33:42,627 --> 01:33:45,267 Speaker 16: Maxistapa come into it with two pole positions in a row, 1803 01:33:45,307 --> 01:33:47,907 Speaker 16: and of course the win at Monza, whether or not 1804 01:33:47,907 --> 01:33:50,627 Speaker 16: the McLaren's will have the race pace to get around 1805 01:33:51,347 --> 01:33:55,227 Speaker 16: enough traffic to overtake Lan Wilson. I wouldn't be too 1806 01:33:55,307 --> 01:33:58,347 Speaker 16: surprised because they are just two very fast cars. But also, 1807 01:33:58,427 --> 01:34:00,427 Speaker 16: let's not forget we've got Isaac Hatgar down in P 1808 01:34:00,587 --> 01:34:03,027 Speaker 16: eight Sandwich between them. So I mean, if he can 1809 01:34:03,027 --> 01:34:05,107 Speaker 16: play the team game the way Landwilson did for him 1810 01:34:05,147 --> 01:34:06,987 Speaker 16: and Monaco, he should be able to at least, or 1811 01:34:07,067 --> 01:34:08,947 Speaker 16: hope you be able to at least keep Piastre off 1812 01:34:08,987 --> 01:34:09,267 Speaker 16: his back. 1813 01:34:09,947 --> 01:34:12,387 Speaker 3: We always looked, don't we, for Isaac Hadjar, because you 1814 01:34:12,787 --> 01:34:15,387 Speaker 3: are continually telling me that we need to compare Liam 1815 01:34:15,467 --> 01:34:17,867 Speaker 3: against his teammate. Others are as well, but some of 1816 01:34:17,907 --> 01:34:21,307 Speaker 3: them not as astute as you. So how did Isaac go? 1817 01:34:21,587 --> 01:34:24,947 Speaker 3: And you know, is it like? Is Lim a better 1818 01:34:24,987 --> 01:34:25,987 Speaker 3: driver than Isaac Hadger? 1819 01:34:27,347 --> 01:34:29,867 Speaker 16: It's hard to say. Hagi didn't do too flashy. He 1820 01:34:29,987 --> 01:34:33,587 Speaker 16: didn't so other than Q one last night, Limb has 1821 01:34:33,627 --> 01:34:36,067 Speaker 16: been faster than Hadja all weekend. Whether or not that's 1822 01:34:36,147 --> 01:34:40,107 Speaker 16: down to experience, Abaku, who knows Haji did complain about 1823 01:34:40,107 --> 01:34:43,667 Speaker 16: the high winds during qualifying? Is Lim a better driver? 1824 01:34:45,027 --> 01:34:48,107 Speaker 16: It's the window? Is such a such a small sample 1825 01:34:48,147 --> 01:34:50,387 Speaker 16: SZ to compare and Haji does have the better results, 1826 01:34:50,427 --> 01:34:52,147 Speaker 16: but whether or not that's down to the blow that 1827 01:34:52,427 --> 01:34:54,587 Speaker 16: Limb's taken to his confidence after what's happened this year 1828 01:34:54,707 --> 01:34:56,507 Speaker 16: or not, it's probably for him to say. 1829 01:34:57,587 --> 01:35:00,027 Speaker 3: Yuki sonodas had an unhappy time, hasn't he since he 1830 01:35:00,107 --> 01:35:02,067 Speaker 3: took over the second Red Bull seat? But he had 1831 01:35:02,107 --> 01:35:04,907 Speaker 3: a he's what six on the grid, that's a that's 1832 01:35:04,947 --> 01:35:07,987 Speaker 3: a rare top team for him. They'd be reasonably happy. 1833 01:35:08,067 --> 01:35:08,987 Speaker 3: What are Yuki Sonoda? 1834 01:35:10,507 --> 01:35:12,587 Speaker 16: Yuki Snow's actually had quite a weird season. So the 1835 01:35:12,667 --> 01:35:15,067 Speaker 16: issues with being Max of Stappin's teammate over the last 1836 01:35:15,107 --> 01:35:17,107 Speaker 16: couple of years we saw with Sergio Perez and i 1837 01:35:17,187 --> 01:35:19,187 Speaker 16: mean two races with Liam Lawson was that they actually 1838 01:35:19,267 --> 01:35:22,347 Speaker 16: qualified really poorly. The race pace was there. Yuki Snow's 1839 01:35:22,347 --> 01:35:24,787 Speaker 16: being another way around. He doesn't actually qualify that badly. 1840 01:35:25,147 --> 01:35:27,147 Speaker 16: He just goes backwards in the race. So whether or 1841 01:35:27,187 --> 01:35:30,067 Speaker 16: not he is still six come the check and flag 1842 01:35:30,267 --> 01:35:33,027 Speaker 16: tonight will be very interesting to see. But like we 1843 01:35:33,107 --> 01:35:35,187 Speaker 16: saw at Monza, he went backwards and ended up tangling 1844 01:35:35,187 --> 01:35:36,827 Speaker 16: with Lawson and sort of ruined. 1845 01:35:36,627 --> 01:35:37,187 Speaker 11: His own race. 1846 01:35:38,307 --> 01:35:40,867 Speaker 3: Question for you on text here, can Maxistappen still win 1847 01:35:40,947 --> 01:35:41,747 Speaker 3: the driver's title. 1848 01:35:42,827 --> 01:35:46,467 Speaker 16: Mathematically, I'm sure he probably could have not done those sums. However, 1849 01:35:46,667 --> 01:35:50,187 Speaker 16: I would be amazed if McLaren continued to have runs 1850 01:35:50,387 --> 01:35:53,067 Speaker 16: like this where they're not consistently scoring at the front 1851 01:35:53,107 --> 01:35:55,187 Speaker 16: of the grid to drop enough points that opened it 1852 01:35:55,307 --> 01:35:57,147 Speaker 16: for the sappen. But you never know, this is motorsport. 1853 01:35:57,947 --> 01:35:59,947 Speaker 3: All right, back to Liam then to finish. If he 1854 01:36:00,107 --> 01:36:02,987 Speaker 3: does in fact get on the podium, how should we 1855 01:36:03,147 --> 01:36:04,187 Speaker 3: regard that achievement? 1856 01:36:05,467 --> 01:36:09,027 Speaker 16: Ah, I mean it would be fantastic for him. That's 1857 01:36:09,307 --> 01:36:11,587 Speaker 16: you know, first and foremost. So I mean, in isolation 1858 01:36:11,787 --> 01:36:14,307 Speaker 16: it's great, it's has best results until it's not. In 1859 01:36:14,387 --> 01:36:16,827 Speaker 16: the year obviously gets a chance to better it. I 1860 01:36:16,987 --> 01:36:18,827 Speaker 16: think if he can do it from where he is 1861 01:36:18,947 --> 01:36:22,787 Speaker 16: now and hold p three or even improve, I think 1862 01:36:22,827 --> 01:36:24,707 Speaker 16: it would be one of the sporting stories of the year, 1863 01:36:24,827 --> 01:36:27,227 Speaker 16: just because of the context of what's gone into everything 1864 01:36:27,267 --> 01:36:28,347 Speaker 16: that's happened to him this year. 1865 01:36:29,907 --> 01:36:32,627 Speaker 3: All right, well, well we will certainly be watching eleven 1866 01:36:32,627 --> 01:36:34,387 Speaker 3: o'clock start tonight New Zealand time. 1867 01:36:34,347 --> 01:36:34,947 Speaker 19: Is that correct? 1868 01:36:35,587 --> 01:36:35,747 Speaker 7: Yeah? 1869 01:36:35,827 --> 01:36:36,227 Speaker 10: Early one? 1870 01:36:38,627 --> 01:36:40,467 Speaker 3: And how long is a race normally takes? I think 1871 01:36:40,467 --> 01:36:43,227 Speaker 3: people want to push through, so how long will they 1872 01:36:43,267 --> 01:36:44,467 Speaker 3: have to stay up for a couple of. 1873 01:36:44,467 --> 01:36:47,067 Speaker 16: Hours, about an hour and a half normally if there's 1874 01:36:47,067 --> 01:36:48,747 Speaker 16: no red flags, iuch. I mean, there's no guarantee. We 1875 01:36:48,867 --> 01:36:50,827 Speaker 16: might have seen them all last night. But if anyone 1876 01:36:50,947 --> 01:36:52,947 Speaker 16: feels about heading the wall, I imagine that will delay 1877 01:36:52,987 --> 01:36:54,387 Speaker 16: things a little bit, all. 1878 01:36:54,347 --> 01:36:57,467 Speaker 3: Right, manageable then manageable. I noticed that you were still 1879 01:36:57,507 --> 01:37:00,107 Speaker 3: filing your stories at about half past two this morning, 1880 01:37:00,147 --> 01:37:02,267 Speaker 3: so I appreciate you.

It's been in an amazing wait for 1927 01:39:34,147 --> 01:39:37,867 Speaker 21: track and field in New Zealand and I think Jordy Beamish, 1928 01:39:37,947 --> 01:39:40,867 Speaker 21: you know that from the start out of the blocks 1929 01:39:41,067 --> 01:39:43,587 Speaker 21: just set the tone really and the rest of the 1930 01:39:43,667 --> 01:39:45,907 Speaker 21: team have all risen to the occasion. 1931 01:39:46,227 --> 01:39:48,307 Speaker 3: Let's go to Jordi Beamish. How much did you enjoy 1932 01:39:48,387 --> 01:39:50,667 Speaker 3: seeing him win gold in the three thousand meter steeple 1933 01:39:50,787 --> 01:39:53,547 Speaker 3: chase after falling and being trodden on and qualifying. 1934 01:39:54,707 --> 01:39:58,187 Speaker 21: I loved it so much because the thing about Jordy 1935 01:39:58,587 --> 01:40:01,307 Speaker 21: he was in such good shape last year and so 1936 01:40:01,667 --> 01:40:04,827 Speaker 21: to have not been in the form which he knew 1937 01:40:05,027 --> 01:40:08,947 Speaker 21: he was in in Powis Mars was absolutely devastating. So 1938 01:40:09,147 --> 01:40:12,627 Speaker 21: to see him come out and show the world what 1939 01:40:12,867 --> 01:40:15,587 Speaker 21: he can do, and really the race fell into his 1940 01:40:15,707 --> 01:40:19,227 Speaker 21: hands because it was so slow and progestrian, and as 1941 01:40:19,347 --> 01:40:22,507 Speaker 21: every lap went went round it was like, wow, this 1942 01:40:22,667 --> 01:40:24,947 Speaker 21: is being set up for Beamish. He is well known 1943 01:40:25,067 --> 01:40:27,027 Speaker 21: for having the best CAC in the world and it 1944 01:40:27,107 --> 01:40:28,667 Speaker 21: will have said it in the week no one will 1945 01:40:28,707 --> 01:40:32,587 Speaker 21: beat him in that situation and it showed Alba Carley, 1946 01:40:32,947 --> 01:40:36,027 Speaker 21: two time Olympic champion, two time World champion, he was 1947 01:40:36,067 --> 01:40:36,907 Speaker 21: punching his face. 1948 01:40:37,027 --> 01:40:42,347 Speaker 3: He candn't disbelief. And Jordi Beamish won fifteen hundred meters 1949 01:40:42,787 --> 01:40:46,707 Speaker 3: indoor World Championship gold last year. He couldn't do both 1950 01:40:46,747 --> 01:40:49,227 Speaker 3: the fifteen hundred meters and the three thousand steeples? Could 1951 01:40:49,267 --> 01:40:52,067 Speaker 3: he going forward well? And an Olympic Games for example. 1952 01:40:53,147 --> 01:40:56,187 Speaker 21: Well, the thing with Jordie is in twenty twenty three 1953 01:40:56,627 --> 01:40:59,507 Speaker 21: he made the decision to go to steeples. He's actually 1954 01:40:59,587 --> 01:41:03,067 Speaker 21: our national five thousand meter record holder. He's run thirteen 1955 01:41:03,187 --> 01:41:07,107 Speaker 21: o nine outdoors, he's run faster indoors and he he 1956 01:41:07,987 --> 01:41:12,107 Speaker 21: ran that last year. So he's got the ability at 1957 01:41:12,187 --> 01:41:14,987 Speaker 21: five k and he's got the ability at fifteen hundred. 1958 01:41:15,267 --> 01:41:20,947 Speaker 21: What he is very he's very smart and strategic and 1959 01:41:21,027 --> 01:41:24,387 Speaker 21: he's done. He said, hey, look three thousand is the 1960 01:41:24,427 --> 01:41:26,387 Speaker 21: sweet spot over the steeples. 1961 01:41:26,787 --> 01:41:27,107 Speaker 2: Let's go. 1962 01:41:27,707 --> 01:41:30,267 Speaker 21: And you know what that decision paid off. You know 1963 01:41:30,347 --> 01:41:32,587 Speaker 21: in twenty twenty three he will finished fifth in the 1964 01:41:32,627 --> 01:41:36,947 Speaker 21: World Championship final and then obviously has got the championship. Now, 1965 01:41:37,307 --> 01:41:41,067 Speaker 21: I don't think people quite comprehend how much of a 1966 01:41:41,587 --> 01:41:46,187 Speaker 21: stronghold the African continent has had on this event until 1967 01:41:46,307 --> 01:41:49,307 Speaker 21: this key we bloke off the farm and Havelock North 1968 01:41:49,667 --> 01:41:51,107 Speaker 21: has come and shown up the. 1969 01:41:51,107 --> 01:41:54,867 Speaker 3: World absolutely brilliant gold to for high Jumphemish Kerr equalling 1970 01:41:54,907 --> 01:41:57,347 Speaker 3: as PB of two thirty six. Sir, he's talked about 1971 01:41:57,387 --> 01:42:00,227 Speaker 3: clearing two forty, even chasing the world record of two 1972 01:42:00,267 --> 01:42:03,347 Speaker 3: forty five, which has stood since nineteen ninety three. Is 1973 01:42:03,427 --> 01:42:04,147 Speaker 3: that realistic? 1974 01:42:05,587 --> 01:42:05,907 Speaker 9: I think. 1975 01:42:06,147 --> 01:42:11,107 Speaker 21: I think the intermediate goal for me is the outright 1976 01:42:11,267 --> 01:42:16,307 Speaker 21: area record because currently he holds that with Tim Forsyth 1977 01:42:16,427 --> 01:42:19,587 Speaker 21: of Australia, so they both jointly hold that at two 1978 01:42:19,667 --> 01:42:22,147 Speaker 21: meters thirty six, which was the same height he won 1979 01:42:22,547 --> 01:42:25,147 Speaker 21: earlier in the week. So I think that's the next 1980 01:42:25,267 --> 01:42:28,867 Speaker 21: milestone two forty. You know, when you get to those heights, 1981 01:42:29,107 --> 01:42:32,907 Speaker 21: you only you can't see the bar height change that 1982 01:42:33,187 --> 01:42:37,427 Speaker 21: much in terms of as you're visually sighting the bar 1983 01:42:37,667 --> 01:42:41,667 Speaker 21: where you're like, wow, it's high. So I don't I 1984 01:42:42,107 --> 01:42:44,707 Speaker 21: So to answer your question, yes, I think it's possible 1985 01:42:44,747 --> 01:42:45,787 Speaker 21: for Hamish Okay. 1986 01:42:45,907 --> 01:42:49,227 Speaker 3: Having three New Zealanders in a World Championship final in 1987 01:42:49,387 --> 01:42:52,267 Speaker 3: any event, it's pretty special. We had Eliza mccatt and 1988 01:42:52,267 --> 01:42:54,747 Speaker 3: the Olivia mctaggett and Emmageneris all in the women's pole 1989 01:42:54,827 --> 01:42:58,747 Speaker 3: vault final. How have we become so prominent in women's 1990 01:42:58,787 --> 01:42:59,307 Speaker 3: pole vault? 1991 01:43:00,867 --> 01:43:04,107 Speaker 21: Well, I think we were very lucky in terms of 1992 01:43:04,427 --> 01:43:09,147 Speaker 21: the early stage development of these three athletes, the facilities 1993 01:43:09,227 --> 01:43:11,827 Speaker 21: that they were exposed to at such a young age, 1994 01:43:12,267 --> 01:43:15,587 Speaker 21: and actually the talent transfer for a couple of them 1995 01:43:16,107 --> 01:43:21,747 Speaker 21: are Tagget and Heiress from gymnastics. We found out about 1996 01:43:22,547 --> 01:43:27,147 Speaker 21: Eliza in twenty sixteen with that incredible bonds, and I 1997 01:43:27,267 --> 01:43:31,467 Speaker 21: think then that inspired this next generation which McTaggart and 1998 01:43:31,547 --> 01:43:34,227 Speaker 21: Eras are in. Now we're seeing the fruits of that 1999 01:43:35,107 --> 01:43:41,867 Speaker 21: environment coaching and also exposure of belief from your mates, 2000 01:43:42,067 --> 01:43:45,707 Speaker 21: your training mates seeing them clear high bars. So that 2001 01:43:45,907 --> 01:43:49,067 Speaker 21: is a phenomenal achievement and I think that they'll be 2002 01:43:49,147 --> 01:43:52,507 Speaker 21: really happy with that. Obviously, just hugely devastating for Eliza 2003 01:43:52,667 --> 01:43:56,827 Speaker 21: to have to retire, and she knows if she is 2004 01:43:56,987 --> 01:44:02,467 Speaker 21: fit and healthy, she is well capable of taking these titles. 2005 01:44:03,387 --> 01:44:06,707 Speaker 21: But I really hope that her body and her mind 2006 01:44:06,867 --> 01:44:08,387 Speaker 21: plays ball in the years to come. 2007 01:44:08,907 --> 01:44:10,747 Speaker 3: Could any of the three of them contend for the 2008 01:44:10,787 --> 01:44:13,107 Speaker 3: Olympic podium in la in twenty twenty eight. 2009 01:44:13,787 --> 01:44:17,467 Speaker 21: Well, the pole volt hasn't shifted so much in recent 2010 01:44:17,627 --> 01:44:20,667 Speaker 21: years in the heights that generally win, So if you 2011 01:44:20,867 --> 01:44:23,747 Speaker 21: are for eighty plus you are going to be right 2012 01:44:23,907 --> 01:44:26,507 Speaker 21: in the mix, you know four ninety one the other night, 2013 01:44:26,947 --> 01:44:30,627 Speaker 21: four ninety five at four ninety If you're at that 2014 01:44:30,787 --> 01:44:34,827 Speaker 21: bar at in the right getting those heights on the 2015 01:44:34,867 --> 01:44:38,147 Speaker 21: first attempt, you will be well in the mixer. So 2016 01:44:38,867 --> 01:44:42,067 Speaker 21: mc taggart has probably had the best breakthrough season in 2017 01:44:42,227 --> 01:44:44,787 Speaker 21: terms of winning the London Diamond League. Her personal best 2018 01:44:44,867 --> 01:44:47,787 Speaker 21: now is for seventy three, so she will be looking 2019 01:44:48,147 --> 01:44:51,627 Speaker 21: to make that next jump into the four eighties, which 2020 01:44:51,707 --> 01:44:54,467 Speaker 21: we'll see her right in the mix come La. 2021 01:44:54,947 --> 01:44:57,507 Speaker 3: Just before we leave the pole vault, Swedish superstar Mondo 2022 01:44:57,587 --> 01:45:01,107 Speaker 3: de plant has clared six thirty in Tokyo, his fourteenth 2023 01:45:01,227 --> 01:45:03,867 Speaker 3: world record. Incredible. Can you put into context just how 2024 01:45:03,947 --> 01:45:05,467 Speaker 3: special what he is doing is. 2025 01:45:07,627 --> 01:45:11,027 Speaker 21: He has taken the whole sport, not just pole vault, 2026 01:45:12,067 --> 01:45:15,547 Speaker 21: but the sport of athletics to an extra level. And 2027 01:45:15,707 --> 01:45:20,387 Speaker 21: what he is doing is elevating pole vault into hides 2028 01:45:20,427 --> 01:45:24,427 Speaker 21: that people just never imagined. And what I love about 2029 01:45:24,507 --> 01:45:28,667 Speaker 21: Mondo is that every time he's a showman, he but 2030 01:45:28,827 --> 01:45:31,867 Speaker 21: he delivers. And for him to have that pressure on 2031 01:45:31,947 --> 01:45:34,027 Speaker 21: him every time to go, oh, well, you know all 2032 01:45:34,067 --> 01:45:36,347 Speaker 21: these people are showing up, the world is watching. You know, 2033 01:45:36,507 --> 01:45:38,347 Speaker 21: probably he's going to jump a world record, but it's 2034 01:45:38,667 --> 01:45:42,027 Speaker 21: actually so much harder than it just and then it 2035 01:45:42,147 --> 01:45:45,027 Speaker 21: sounds like me just spouting that off what he is doing, 2036 01:45:45,107 --> 01:45:48,547 Speaker 21: the speed he is running in with with this long pole, 2037 01:45:48,867 --> 01:45:51,987 Speaker 21: having to accurately place it in the pot in the box, 2038 01:45:52,707 --> 01:45:56,387 Speaker 21: and then basically you've got two pendulums happening, the pole 2039 01:45:56,427 --> 01:46:00,147 Speaker 21: going round over the jumping box and then the mondo 2040 01:46:00,547 --> 01:46:04,947 Speaker 21: going around the pole and six meters thirty. It is 2041 01:46:05,187 --> 01:46:10,387 Speaker 21: so high and he's able to execute this and just 2042 01:46:10,507 --> 01:46:12,787 Speaker 21: deliver it once again. You know, he's got a world 2043 01:46:12,827 --> 01:46:16,307 Speaker 21: record bonus from World Athletics, but he's doing very well 2044 01:46:16,347 --> 01:46:19,467 Speaker 21: from his other commercial endorsements as well. But it's great 2045 01:46:19,547 --> 01:46:24,187 Speaker 21: to see because he's entertainer and he's delivering when it 2046 01:46:24,307 --> 01:46:25,827 Speaker 21: counts toutally remarkable. 2047 01:46:26,187 --> 01:46:28,627 Speaker 3: You're very close with Zoe Hobbs. She missed the one 2048 01:46:28,707 --> 01:46:31,387 Speaker 3: hundred meter final eleven one six in her heat, you 2049 01:46:31,427 --> 01:46:34,147 Speaker 3: around eleven oh nine in her semi. Missing the finals, 2050 01:46:34,187 --> 01:46:37,027 Speaker 3: I say, finishing twelfth in the world. How will Zoe 2051 01:46:37,107 --> 01:46:38,107 Speaker 3: Hobbs be feeling about that? 2052 01:46:40,027 --> 01:46:44,467 Speaker 21: I think she's gutted, She's definitely gutted to not make 2053 01:46:44,507 --> 01:46:48,747 Speaker 21: the final, but I think that she's really trying to 2054 01:46:48,867 --> 01:46:53,307 Speaker 21: make that transition from semi finalists now into the final. 2055 01:46:54,707 --> 01:46:58,827 Speaker 21: That's a really tough ass. You're talking about hundreds thousands 2056 01:46:58,867 --> 01:47:01,627 Speaker 21: of a second where you need to execute. And I 2057 01:47:01,787 --> 01:47:04,627 Speaker 21: know that her team have put an extra emphasis on 2058 01:47:04,787 --> 01:47:07,827 Speaker 21: that semi final race in terms of the preparation they 2059 01:47:07,907 --> 01:47:10,867 Speaker 21: put in this year to make that next jump. 2060 01:47:11,227 --> 01:47:12,787 Speaker 3: You know, twelve fast in the world. 2061 01:47:13,067 --> 01:47:16,867 Speaker 21: She's disappointed, but there's only eleven other women in the 2062 01:47:16,947 --> 01:47:18,867 Speaker 21: world who are faster than her, and I think New 2063 01:47:18,947 --> 01:47:19,627 Speaker 21: Zealand needs to. 2064 01:47:19,707 --> 01:47:21,987 Speaker 3: Really realize that and really realize what. 2065 01:47:22,107 --> 01:47:25,747 Speaker 21: A phenomenal athlete Zoe Hobbs is. Now hopefully she'll make 2066 01:47:25,787 --> 01:47:29,627 Speaker 21: the next jump up and this campaign will have taught 2067 01:47:29,707 --> 01:47:33,147 Speaker 21: her and her team so much. And I think we'll 2068 01:47:33,267 --> 01:47:37,027 Speaker 21: see another version of Zoe come out in the next 2069 01:47:37,067 --> 01:47:38,187 Speaker 21: four years as she builds to. 2070 01:47:38,307 --> 01:47:41,507 Speaker 3: LA can't wait. Maddie Wishy Olympic silver last year, now 2071 01:47:41,547 --> 01:47:44,547 Speaker 3: World Championship bronze new PB of twenty four to zero 2072 01:47:44,587 --> 01:47:48,027 Speaker 3: six meters. She's only twenty six. Dame Valerie Adams will 2073 01:47:48,027 --> 01:47:50,267 Speaker 3: still winning gold medals in her thirties and Olympic bronze 2074 01:47:50,307 --> 01:47:52,627 Speaker 3: when she was thirty six years old. What do you 2075 01:47:52,707 --> 01:47:53,787 Speaker 3: predict for Maddi Wishy. 2076 01:47:55,787 --> 01:48:00,587 Speaker 21: Maddi Wishy delivers at major championships. Once again, she has 2077 01:48:00,667 --> 01:48:03,907 Speaker 21: thrown an equal personal best in the heat of the moment, 2078 01:48:04,427 --> 01:48:07,307 Speaker 21: and I just think that she is such a competitor, 2079 01:48:07,507 --> 01:48:10,667 Speaker 21: and ever since she won her World Junior title and 2080 01:48:10,787 --> 01:48:14,507 Speaker 21: that brilliant silver last year in Paris, you know she 2081 01:48:14,867 --> 01:48:20,307 Speaker 21: is able to at a major championship, get physically prepared 2082 01:48:20,387 --> 01:48:23,027 Speaker 21: to be able to do it, but mentally switch on 2083 01:48:23,307 --> 01:48:25,267 Speaker 21: and you know she's got a long career ahead of 2084 01:48:25,307 --> 01:48:28,147 Speaker 21: her if she wants it. And I think hats off 2085 01:48:28,187 --> 01:48:30,387 Speaker 21: to her and her coach Matt Mike Schofield, because that 2086 01:48:30,467 --> 01:48:32,787 Speaker 21: was a great competition. I think they're pretty gutted that 2087 01:48:32,867 --> 01:48:35,907 Speaker 21: they didn't get the gold, but actually no one can 2088 01:48:35,987 --> 01:48:38,987 Speaker 21: take away from the fact that she's a World Championship 2089 01:48:38,987 --> 01:48:39,747 Speaker 21: bronze medalist. 2090 01:48:40,147 --> 01:48:41,787 Speaker 3: And just a word on Tory Morby as well. I 2091 01:48:42,027 --> 01:48:44,507 Speaker 3: was at a function a couple of months ago and 2092 01:48:44,547 --> 01:48:46,107 Speaker 3: I heard her speak and I was really impressed by 2093 01:48:46,147 --> 01:48:49,827 Speaker 3: her seventh in the women's javelin Overnight didn't really get 2094 01:48:49,867 --> 01:48:52,667 Speaker 3: close to her PB. Is seventh a good result for 2095 01:48:52,747 --> 01:48:54,747 Speaker 3: her or will she be disappointed with that? 2096 01:48:56,107 --> 01:48:58,307 Speaker 21: It's a really good result for Tory. This is the 2097 01:48:58,387 --> 01:49:01,707 Speaker 21: first time that she's made the Championship final and I 2098 01:49:01,907 --> 01:49:06,747 Speaker 21: think that that for her in itself is another step forward. 2099 01:49:07,267 --> 01:49:10,427 Speaker 21: I think the way that the competition works in terms 2100 01:49:10,467 --> 01:49:13,707 Speaker 21: of the top ten getting another two throw, then top 2101 01:49:13,787 --> 01:49:16,227 Speaker 21: eight and then top six. She's pretty gutted to not 2102 01:49:16,387 --> 01:49:19,267 Speaker 21: get into that final top six, so she got bumped 2103 01:49:19,267 --> 01:49:23,067 Speaker 21: in that last and that penultimate round. Yes, you need 2104 01:49:23,147 --> 01:49:27,187 Speaker 21: to be throwing great distances in that final throw and 2105 01:49:27,307 --> 01:49:30,507 Speaker 21: in the final, which we saw her her great throw 2106 01:49:30,587 --> 01:49:34,707 Speaker 21: in qualifying. So I think overall, seventh is actually a 2107 01:49:34,867 --> 01:49:35,347 Speaker 21: very good. 2108 01:49:35,227 --> 01:49:39,307 Speaker 3: Result for her.

The LA Clippers, 2194 01:53:45,227 --> 01:53:50,227 Speaker 3: though under investigation for alleged circumvention of the salary cap, 2195 01:53:50,507 --> 01:53:51,147 Speaker 3: tell us about this. 2196 01:53:52,227 --> 01:53:54,747 Speaker 10: Yes, even though the NBA is still in its all seasons, 2197 01:53:54,747 --> 01:53:58,267 Speaker 10: it's penny to discuss. With so much to cover in football, Lander, 2198 01:53:58,387 --> 01:54:00,227 Speaker 10: just for today, I want to focus on this one 2199 01:54:00,347 --> 01:54:03,587 Speaker 10: main headline. So as you alluded to, the league front 2200 01:54:03,667 --> 01:54:08,307 Speaker 10: officers investigating allegations that they LA Clippers facilitated a twenty 2201 01:54:08,347 --> 01:54:12,907 Speaker 10: eight million US dollar no show endorsement Gill for star 2202 01:54:13,067 --> 01:54:17,627 Speaker 10: forward Kawhi Leonard with a now bankrupt sustainability company called Aspiration, 2203 01:54:18,227 --> 01:54:20,947 Speaker 10: allegedly in an effort to circumvent or find a way 2204 01:54:20,987 --> 01:54:24,627 Speaker 10: around the NBA salary cap. Now the Clippers have adamantly 2205 01:54:24,747 --> 01:54:27,627 Speaker 10: denied these damn allegations. This is not a good look 2206 01:54:27,667 --> 01:54:31,227 Speaker 10: for franchise owners. Steve Barmer, the form of Microsoft CEO 2207 01:54:31,347 --> 01:54:34,387 Speaker 10: and tech Mogulworth are reported one hundred and fifty five 2208 01:54:34,467 --> 01:54:37,787 Speaker 10: billion US dollars now he allegedly signed off the arrangement 2209 01:54:37,867 --> 01:54:41,227 Speaker 10: for Lended, who's widely considered the best two way player 2210 01:54:41,307 --> 01:54:44,147 Speaker 10: in the league the last decade. This story was uncovered 2211 01:54:44,187 --> 01:54:48,387 Speaker 10: by ESP and investigated reporter Pablo Torre and is gaining 2212 01:54:48,507 --> 01:54:52,107 Speaker 10: traction following news from only a few days ago. There's 2213 01:54:52,147 --> 01:54:55,547 Speaker 10: a massive paper trail that implicates the Clippers. So NBA 2214 01:54:55,587 --> 01:54:58,147 Speaker 10: Commissioner Adam Siel was trying his best to downplay the 2215 01:54:58,147 --> 01:55:02,187 Speaker 10: whole scandal, saying that all of the evidence so far circumstantial, 2216 01:55:02,267 --> 01:55:05,387 Speaker 10: but a lot of NBA owners and executives are nervously 2217 01:55:05,467 --> 01:55:08,267 Speaker 10: waiting any penal. I think it's fair to say that 2218 01:55:08,387 --> 01:55:10,507 Speaker 10: this may not be just a one off in discretion 2219 01:55:11,067 --> 01:55:14,307 Speaker 10: but teams run into their training camps and the regular 2220 01:55:14,387 --> 01:55:16,707 Speaker 10: season topping off, and just over four weeks on October 2221 01:55:16,787 --> 01:55:19,667 Speaker 10: twenty one, Adam Stilber will be keenly to get this 2222 01:55:19,787 --> 01:55:22,507 Speaker 10: distraction pushed to the side, and it's a really bad 2223 01:55:22,547 --> 01:55:25,347 Speaker 10: look for the association. Will certainly keep eyes on any 2224 01:55:25,387 --> 01:55:29,027 Speaker 10: developments finally, because the latest collective barging agreement means that 2225 01:55:29,187 --> 01:55:32,107 Speaker 10: the overcome could have far reaching implications. 2226 01:55:31,507 --> 01:55:32,227 Speaker 11: For years to come. 2227 01:55:32,747 --> 01:55:35,867 Speaker 3: Indeed, yeah, quite the story, as you say, leone will 2228 01:55:35,947 --> 01:55:37,787 Speaker 3: keep eyes on it. Let's go to Major League Baseball 2229 01:55:37,827 --> 01:55:40,107 Speaker 3: before we hit the football news. Last week of the 2230 01:55:40,147 --> 01:55:43,627 Speaker 3: regular season, who are the genuine contenders to win the 2231 01:55:43,707 --> 01:55:45,187 Speaker 3: Baseball World Series this year? 2232 01:55:46,347 --> 01:55:48,387 Speaker 10: Yes, So, the grueling one hundred and sixty two game 2233 01:55:48,427 --> 01:55:51,547 Speaker 10: regular season finally comes to a closed Tuesday week and 2234 01:55:51,667 --> 01:55:53,227 Speaker 10: there are a number of teams at the top of 2235 01:55:53,307 --> 01:55:56,507 Speaker 10: a heat leaping into October. So in the American League, 2236 01:55:56,787 --> 01:55:59,547 Speaker 10: the Toronto Blue Jays lead the conference, then the New 2237 01:55:59,627 --> 01:56:03,507 Speaker 10: York Yankees, the Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers for third, 2238 01:56:03,747 --> 01:56:06,107 Speaker 10: and the Boston Red Sox and Houston asher Is tight 2239 01:56:06,147 --> 01:56:09,107 Speaker 10: for fourth, rounding up the top contenders. Over in the 2240 01:56:09,187 --> 01:56:11,987 Speaker 10: National League, the top five teams see the Milwaukee Brewers 2241 01:56:12,067 --> 01:56:17,067 Speaker 10: leading the conference, closely followed by the Philadelphia Police, Chicago Cubs, 2242 01:56:17,227 --> 01:56:21,227 Speaker 10: LA Dodgers, and the San Diego Padres. Of note, the 2243 01:56:21,347 --> 01:56:24,267 Speaker 10: Brewers lead all teams in terms of run differential with 2244 01:56:24,387 --> 01:56:27,747 Speaker 10: a dominant plus one eighty four. The next closest are 2245 01:56:27,787 --> 01:56:30,587 Speaker 10: the Yankees fifty one runs behind. So the brew crew 2246 01:56:30,627 --> 01:56:33,587 Speaker 10: have a great opportunity, Piney to dethrone the Dodgers, who 2247 01:56:33,627 --> 01:56:36,107 Speaker 10: have the most stacked and deep roster than any other 2248 01:56:36,187 --> 01:56:38,987 Speaker 10: side of the majors of season should be a compelling postseason. 2249 01:56:39,027 --> 01:56:42,107 Speaker 3: Nonetheless, now you've picked out three active players who have 2250 01:56:42,267 --> 01:56:44,147 Speaker 3: been in the past and may well be matched one 2251 01:56:44,147 --> 01:56:45,267 Speaker 3: as again this October. 2252 01:56:46,587 --> 01:56:49,067 Speaker 10: Yep. So there's a couple of standout individuals heading into 2253 01:56:49,107 --> 01:56:51,627 Speaker 10: October one. I mentioned last time I was on as 2254 01:56:51,707 --> 01:56:55,227 Speaker 10: catcher for the Seattle Mariners Caleb Rally in the American League. 2255 01:56:55,507 --> 01:56:57,947 Speaker 10: So earlier this week Cal went yard as they say, 2256 01:56:58,027 --> 01:57:01,107 Speaker 10: and becoming only the twenty first batter and Major League 2257 01:57:01,147 --> 01:57:04,387 Speaker 10: Baseball history that had fifty four plus home runs in 2258 01:57:04,427 --> 01:57:07,827 Speaker 10: a single season and also as a catcher. Even more 2259 01:57:07,867 --> 01:57:11,307 Speaker 10: impressive was he tied Yankees great Hall of Famer Mickey 2260 01:57:11,387 --> 01:57:13,667 Speaker 10: Mantle for the most home runs by a switch hitter. 2261 01:57:14,067 --> 01:57:15,867 Speaker 10: That's the batter who can hit from both sides of 2262 01:57:15,907 --> 01:57:18,987 Speaker 10: the plate, which is verified here. Today, Raleigh has ten 2263 01:57:19,187 --> 01:57:22,387 Speaker 10: multi home run games in twenty twenty five, just one 2264 01:57:22,547 --> 01:57:25,587 Speaker 10: shy of playing the Major League Baseball record. It's also 2265 01:57:25,627 --> 01:57:28,467 Speaker 10: a two horse race between Raleigh and Yankee Sager Aaron 2266 01:57:28,547 --> 01:57:31,667 Speaker 10: Judge with the American League mvyper Water, which will go 2267 01:57:31,787 --> 01:57:34,867 Speaker 10: down to the wire. Judges previously picked up the prestigious 2268 01:57:34,867 --> 01:57:38,107 Speaker 10: award twice in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four. 2269 01:57:38,547 --> 01:57:40,787 Speaker 10: The other player and often seen as the face of 2270 01:57:40,827 --> 01:57:44,427 Speaker 10: the league, Johey Eltini from the defending champion LA Dodgers 2271 01:57:44,467 --> 01:57:46,867 Speaker 10: in the National League. So earlier this week, he set 2272 01:57:46,987 --> 01:57:50,867 Speaker 10: more MLB history, becoming the first player to record fifty 2273 01:57:50,987 --> 01:57:54,587 Speaker 10: strikeouts and fifty home runs in a single season. He 2274 01:57:54,627 --> 01:57:57,067 Speaker 10: achieved the feet in the same game. That's crazy so 2275 01:57:57,067 --> 01:58:00,147 Speaker 10: that two nights ago, Showtime also hit a go ahead 2276 01:58:00,227 --> 01:58:03,907 Speaker 10: bomb a fifty second home run, again proving he's easily 2277 01:58:04,027 --> 01:58:06,907 Speaker 10: the best two way player in the game, phenom for 2278 01:58:07,027 --> 01:58:11,107 Speaker 10: his generations. And finally, Piney, after eighteen seasons with the 2279 01:58:11,227 --> 01:58:15,107 Speaker 10: LA Dodgers, eleven time All Star and three time National 2280 01:58:15,187 --> 01:58:18,547 Speaker 10: League Side Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw has decided to 2281 01:58:18,587 --> 01:58:20,507 Speaker 10: call it a day and hang up his cleats. The 2282 01:58:20,627 --> 01:58:22,987 Speaker 10: thirty seven year old Texan native and left handed pitcher 2283 01:58:23,107 --> 01:58:26,187 Speaker 10: is a double World Series champion and widely regarded as 2284 01:58:26,187 --> 01:58:28,947 Speaker 10: one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, more so 2285 01:58:29,067 --> 01:58:32,067 Speaker 10: in the regular seasons. Piershaw is one of only ten 2286 01:58:32,187 --> 01:58:35,787 Speaker 10: twin sorry twenty pitchers and four lessties to record more 2287 01:58:35,827 --> 01:58:39,187 Speaker 10: than three thousand strikeouts in his pro career, with an 2288 01:58:39,227 --> 01:58:43,387 Speaker 10: ERA of only two points point five four a remarkable feed. 2289 01:58:43,667 --> 01:58:46,107 Speaker 10: He even threw a no hitter once back in twenty fourteen, 2290 01:58:46,467 --> 01:58:48,307 Speaker 10: a game in which the teen does not record had 2291 01:58:48,307 --> 01:58:51,187 Speaker 10: against the starting pitcher. The future First Ballot Wall of 2292 01:58:51,267 --> 01:58:54,787 Speaker 10: Famer will also be fondly remembered for his humanitarian and 2293 01:58:54,867 --> 01:58:58,107 Speaker 10: philanthropic work during a stellar Korean which, as overall earnings 2294 01:58:58,147 --> 01:59:01,827 Speaker 10: are estimated around US staggering five hundred and fifteen million 2295 01:59:01,947 --> 01:59:04,267 Speaker 10: Jew Zealand ozah. That's crazy. So I think it's better 2296 01:59:04,307 --> 01:59:06,787 Speaker 10: say pony that Cushaw won't be short of any money 2297 01:59:06,787 --> 01:59:09,787 Speaker 10: anytime as soon as is impending your tirement. 2298 01:59:10,747 --> 01:59:12,427 Speaker 3: I think you might be right. Let's go to football. 2299 01:59:12,507 --> 01:59:14,907 Speaker 3: College football is underway. Who are the teams to watch 2300 01:59:14,947 --> 01:59:15,787 Speaker 3: ym college football? 2301 01:59:16,947 --> 01:59:19,027 Speaker 10: Yes, the college football is into Week four already, and 2302 01:59:19,067 --> 01:59:20,707 Speaker 10: there are a number of teams from one hundred and 2303 01:59:20,747 --> 01:59:24,987 Speaker 10: thirty NCAA Division One ranks in the current narrative. Let's 2304 01:59:24,987 --> 01:59:26,547 Speaker 10: focus on those schools showing. 2305 01:59:26,387 --> 01:59:27,427 Speaker 11: Up every week. 2306 01:59:27,507 --> 01:59:30,107 Speaker 10: The top twenty five rankings are released by a selection 2307 01:59:30,267 --> 01:59:34,307 Speaker 10: committee made up of thirteen members based on previous weekend results, 2308 01:59:34,627 --> 01:59:37,627 Speaker 10: where teams can shift up and down dependent on their performances. 2309 01:59:38,027 --> 01:59:39,627 Speaker 10: If we look at just the top ten for now, 2310 01:59:39,707 --> 01:59:42,787 Speaker 10: we have the recognized powerhouse football programs leading the pack, 2311 01:59:43,267 --> 01:59:48,187 Speaker 10: the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes, Den State, Nittany Lyons, 2312 01:59:48,347 --> 01:59:53,267 Speaker 10: Louisiana State University or Alice You Tigers, Miami Florida Hurricanes, 2313 01:59:53,387 --> 02:00:00,067 Speaker 10: Georgia Bulldogs, Oregon Ducks, Florida State Seminoles, Texas Longhorns, Illinois 2314 02:00:00,147 --> 02:00:04,187 Speaker 10: Folly Fighting Illini as sort of pronounced it twice it's 2315 02:00:04,187 --> 02:00:06,267 Speaker 10: a hard one, and the Texas A and m Aggie 2316 02:00:06,427 --> 02:00:08,667 Speaker 10: rounding off the top ten. I've said love some of 2317 02:00:08,707 --> 02:00:12,307 Speaker 10: those names. Finding his team named don't terestfully though, Nine 2318 02:00:12,347 --> 02:00:14,827 Speaker 10: of the top ten teams are three and zero but 2319 02:00:14,987 --> 02:00:17,427 Speaker 10: the Texas Longhorns are two and one ahead of other 2320 02:00:17,507 --> 02:00:20,147 Speaker 10: schools below who are also unbeaten. 2321 02:00:20,187 --> 02:00:20,307 Speaker 7: Now. 2322 02:00:20,347 --> 02:00:22,347 Speaker 10: The reason for this is that the selection committee have 2323 02:00:22,387 --> 02:00:25,387 Speaker 10: a lot of different factors they consider before releasing the 2324 02:00:25,427 --> 02:00:28,867 Speaker 10: new rankings weekly. One of those is what's known as 2325 02:00:28,907 --> 02:00:32,467 Speaker 10: a team's strength of schedule, basically meaning a school can 2326 02:00:32,507 --> 02:00:35,667 Speaker 10: still make the now twelve team national playoffs even if 2327 02:00:35,707 --> 02:00:37,627 Speaker 10: they lose two games as they're playing schedule for the 2328 02:00:37,707 --> 02:00:40,267 Speaker 10: season is much tougher than what some other schools have 2329 02:00:40,387 --> 02:00:45,107 Speaker 10: to face. Also quickly, the last point on college before 2330 02:00:45,587 --> 02:00:49,387 Speaker 10: the high trains surrounding Texas quarterback Arch Manning has flowed 2331 02:00:49,707 --> 02:00:53,267 Speaker 10: considerably due to its underwhelming performances three games in the 2332 02:00:53,427 --> 02:00:56,067 Speaker 10: air apparent from the first family of football. The Mannings 2333 02:00:56,467 --> 02:00:59,027 Speaker 10: is under immense pressure from the long Horns fan base, 2334 02:00:59,347 --> 02:01:02,147 Speaker 10: who are rightly demanding results. As Manning earns a healthy 2335 02:01:02,587 --> 02:01:06,267 Speaker 10: twelve million New Zealand dollars annually throughout multiple nil endorse 2336 02:01:06,427 --> 02:01:10,267 Speaker 10: it's easily the highest paid athlete in all of college sports. Thankfully, 2337 02:01:10,347 --> 02:01:13,787 Speaker 10: as tr playing the unranked Sam Houston Bearcats I've never 2338 02:01:13,827 --> 02:01:15,907 Speaker 10: heard of before today and an easy winner is on 2339 02:01:16,027 --> 02:01:17,867 Speaker 10: the card, But the pressure ramps up for Manning in 2340 02:01:17,907 --> 02:01:20,947 Speaker 10: the next two games, placing the Florida Gators away and 2341 02:01:21,027 --> 02:01:23,827 Speaker 10: the resurgent Oklahoma as soon as at home. Will definitely 2342 02:01:23,907 --> 02:01:26,507 Speaker 10: be watching closely pinting to see if he delivers or 2343 02:01:26,507 --> 02:01:27,867 Speaker 10: if his stock continues to fall. 2344 02:01:28,347 --> 02:01:29,747 Speaker 3: All right, we're running out of time, mate, But I 2345 02:01:29,787 --> 02:01:31,747 Speaker 3: want to get a bit on the NFL. Can you 2346 02:01:31,787 --> 02:01:34,267 Speaker 3: give us just a brief summer of where we are 2347 02:01:34,347 --> 02:01:36,547 Speaker 3: three weeks in the AFC and the NFC. 2348 02:01:37,907 --> 02:01:38,107 Speaker 5: Yes. 2349 02:01:38,227 --> 02:01:39,987 Speaker 10: So there's a few teams that are at three or 2350 02:01:40,067 --> 02:01:42,267 Speaker 10: no and a few that are two or no. But 2351 02:01:42,387 --> 02:01:44,427 Speaker 10: the biggest talking point at the moment is about the 2352 02:01:44,547 --> 02:01:47,667 Speaker 10: Kansas City Chiefs. Now it looks like their dynastic run 2353 02:01:47,787 --> 02:01:50,107 Speaker 10: might be over. They're currently own two the first time 2354 02:01:50,147 --> 02:01:53,067 Speaker 10: and you read the Pitcher Combs era and now beyond 2355 02:01:53,107 --> 02:01:55,387 Speaker 10: the customer I've owned three is there on the road tomorrow. 2356 02:01:55,827 --> 02:01:58,227 Speaker 10: The history shows that teams that start oh and two 2357 02:01:58,627 --> 02:02:01,027 Speaker 10: have only a ten percent chance to make the playoffs, 2358 02:02:01,027 --> 02:02:03,747 Speaker 10: and only one team an NFL history has ever had 2359 02:02:03,747 --> 02:02:06,947 Speaker 10: the playoffs after starting out owen three. So if you 2360 02:02:07,027 --> 02:02:09,587 Speaker 10: look at it, they're really up against it right now, 2361 02:02:09,947 --> 02:02:13,227 Speaker 10: because as I said, they're on the road, they're open too. 2362 02:02:13,267 --> 02:02:15,627 Speaker 10: They're facing oh and three and so there's a real 2363 02:02:15,747 --> 02:02:19,387 Speaker 10: possibility that they won't make the finals. Also, the Cincinnati 2364 02:02:19,427 --> 02:02:21,347 Speaker 10: Bengals have been hampered even though the two or no 2365 02:02:21,827 --> 02:02:25,107 Speaker 10: because the star quarterback Joe Burrow is out for the 2366 02:02:25,147 --> 02:02:28,867 Speaker 10: rest of the season after undergoing foot surgery. So again, 2367 02:02:28,987 --> 02:02:30,787 Speaker 10: some of the top teams are against it. But if 2368 02:02:30,827 --> 02:02:33,187 Speaker 10: we look at the favorite teams, I'm picking more likely 2369 02:02:33,307 --> 02:02:38,187 Speaker 10: towards the Philadelphia Eagles, the Buffalo Bulls, the Baltimore Ravens 2370 02:02:38,227 --> 02:02:40,987 Speaker 10: are the top teams really and maybe the Detroit Lions 2371 02:02:41,027 --> 02:02:45,107 Speaker 10: as well. To be able to get that Vince Lombardy 2372 02:02:45,107 --> 02:02:46,307 Speaker 10: and lift it at the end of February. 2373 02:02:47,307 --> 02:02:50,067 Speaker 3: Wonderful stuff.
