00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: The Andrew Ordison's with this morning mate. Greetings Mike, did

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: you do something rural over the weekend? Did you chop

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: a bit of firewood or put a fence up, or

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: dag a sheep or something?

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: Well, not really clearing out a house. And all I

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 2: was saying is you don't want to spestos in a house.

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: I'd agree with that. I think that's I don't think

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: you're breaking any news there, but I think just a

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: word of warning for listeners, did you want did you

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: inhale a small amount of it all?

11
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm hoping not, but it's been there for about fifty

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: years and I'm thinking.

13
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: You know, if I depart early on, so it was

14
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: asbestosis it got them in the end. What do you

15
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 1: want to talk about? See? I see they've got all

16
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: sorts of just quickly the Blues and Eden Park looks

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: good as a facility when it's full, doesn't it?

18
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: Oh great, because we'll talk about this very thing last

19
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: week Gray seats and semi final. But yeah, when it's full,

20
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: people in the pond, ponchos and getting out there and.

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Even in the wet it was great. Shame about the

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: game though as a final.

23
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I thought it was going to be closer

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: than that. Actually, yeah, but then you know, the Blues

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: were so convincing and just a real juggernaut and led

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 2: by Topolota but also Van Kotter. Just he is a

27
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: relentless task master there and just seems to have guarded

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: the respect and was able to deliver across the season.

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: So in twenty one years, I mean it's been we've

30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: always I mean ever since I've been working here, we've

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: been talking about the Blues resurgences.

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Well, let's here or do we get excited about this afternoon?

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Because I mean the squad he announces as a squad

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: of about eight hundred and so, I mean everyone's in it.

35
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: I Mean what we really want to know is who

36
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: plays the test? Don't That's when it gets crach interesting.

37
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: It's the preamble, is it thirty two man squad for

38
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: the All Blacks. I think it's more about I mean, yes,

39
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: there'll be some new names, but it's more about the delivery,

40
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: isn't it. And how Robertson approaches it in the first instance. Yeah,

41
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: I think just how he demonstrates how he's going to

42
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: be the mentor or guide the All blacks and what

43
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: he puts out there, and it'll bit to just see what,

44
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: you know, we'll get a gauge of the style he

45
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: wants to play it.

46
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Are you excited about the all? I looked at the

47
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: schedule this morning just to confirm in my mind what

48
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: was going on. So England coming here, that's good to me.

49
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: That's different, it's a bit unusual.

50
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, I'm all for tours.

51
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah and one, but once again, here we go again.

52
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: So it's Australia in South Africa. How many times do

53
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: we have to play then before you think, oh, you've

54
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: seen all this before. And we've got I think Japan,

55
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: so you know what's going to happen there, and we've

56
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: got Fiji and you know it's going to happen. You

57
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's got that whole here we

58
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: go again vibe.

59
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: But it is a touch ho hum and I think

60
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: but I love the idea of the tour coming back

61
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: and the things I can come here, you know, with

62
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: a post World Cup year, that's a good element to

63
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: address for it. So yeah, that's the that's the part

64
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: that I'm most excited by. And I think just the

65
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: fact you've got a new All Blacks coach and just what,

66
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: as I say, what style is going to bring to

67
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: and stamp on the team. Then yeah, it's uh, that's

68
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: something to anticipate.

69
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: I feel very sorry for Webster this morning or just

70
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: generally after the weekend. I don't know, I mean, I

71
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: don't know what you do with that.

72
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: Just I mean, I've seen the highlights. It just seemed like,

73
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: I mean, well, not that there were many highlights as

74
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: far as the Warriors, but it's just like a turnstile

75
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: all the way through. I mean, I imagine you were

76
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: Philly apoplectically about what I.

77
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: Was expecting was the turnaround at half time. And so

78
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: we've seen this many times over the years. Things go

79
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: wrong in the first half, they get a rah cup,

80
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: they come back, they may not come back to win

81
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: because we were thirty nil down or something like that. So,

82
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: but there's something there on the second half to think, right, okay,

83
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: So but there was nothing. It was like there was

84
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: like two first halfs and we didn't know what we

85
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: were doing and nothing happened and nothing.

86
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: It feels like this is slipping into Warriors territory of

87
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: old pretty quickly. Mean now, because it's just that extra

88
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: two points too, and now the two points further back

89
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: from the top eight. There's that element, the whiff of desperation. Hmm, yeah,

90
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: it's not looking convincing.

91
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: Watch the IF one. If you haven't already well worth watching.

92
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: I've watched. What's it seems to be. The start is

93
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: the most started getting passed.

94
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: You didn't get a good start, but George Russell must

95
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: have got away good though, absolutely brilliant. It came from

96
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: fourth to first in a brilliant move on the corner.

97
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: But Mercedes are back. It's kind a bit about and

98
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: Russell and Mercedes are back and Ferrari's okay, McLaren is

99
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: certainly back. So the whole thing's bunched up, fields bunched up.

100
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: We needed this, you know, for fans who are just

101
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: looking don't have a team necessarily, but love love following.

102
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: I mean it's just that's great for this exactly, so

103
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: you might go well for stuff and still one though,

104
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: yes he did that. And for more from News Talks
