1 00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,427 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine 2 00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:11,947 Speaker 1: from newstalks 'b. 3 00:00:12,627 --> 00:00:15,507 Speaker 2: Watching some nipple goodness made This off field stuff has 4 00:00:15,547 --> 00:00:19,027 Speaker 2: been a bit tiring, hasn't it. Finally we got some 5 00:00:19,027 --> 00:00:21,467 Speaker 2: some nipple to watch, some nipple analyze, and we do 6 00:00:21,587 --> 00:00:25,387 Speaker 2: land on that fourth quarter because they were were off 7 00:00:25,387 --> 00:00:27,227 Speaker 2: the pace in the in the final quarter. If it 8 00:00:27,347 --> 00:00:31,067 Speaker 2: McCausland jury admitted it. Mistakes under pressure, we fatigued. So 9 00:00:31,427 --> 00:00:33,867 Speaker 2: it's a work on for the next one. Lily. 10 00:00:33,907 --> 00:00:39,507 Speaker 3: Hello, yeah, hi, I'm just saying that the time they played, 11 00:00:39,667 --> 00:00:42,187 Speaker 3: I mean it was past their bed, Thomas past mine 12 00:00:42,227 --> 00:00:44,027 Speaker 3: as well, and he went over there two days ago. 13 00:00:44,267 --> 00:00:46,107 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. At least they don't have to go 14 00:00:46,107 --> 00:00:47,787 Speaker 2: to Perth, Lily, that would have been worse. 15 00:00:47,867 --> 00:00:50,867 Speaker 3: But I mean the Absies tend to do that, don't they. 16 00:00:50,907 --> 00:00:52,987 Speaker 3: But I mean in Sydney they probably play a better 17 00:00:53,027 --> 00:00:55,787 Speaker 3: game because the adjustice to the time difference. 18 00:00:55,827 --> 00:00:57,627 Speaker 2: You know, good point, good point. 19 00:00:57,667 --> 00:00:58,667 Speaker 1: What about the fourth quarter? 20 00:00:58,787 --> 00:01:00,187 Speaker 2: What about their fourth quarter? Though? Were you a bit 21 00:01:00,227 --> 00:01:01,387 Speaker 2: concerned in the fourth quarter? 22 00:01:02,307 --> 00:01:05,027 Speaker 3: Ah, year, I was, But I mean they actually made 23 00:01:05,067 --> 00:01:10,827 Speaker 3: their own mistakes. Yeah, they weren't out played. They threw 24 00:01:10,867 --> 00:01:14,347 Speaker 3: the ball away. They made their own mistakes, and I. 25 00:01:14,387 --> 00:01:17,027 Speaker 2: Guess in that regard, Lily, then if they can stop 26 00:01:17,107 --> 00:01:20,427 Speaker 2: doing that, then they should improve in the second test, 27 00:01:20,427 --> 00:01:20,907 Speaker 2: shouldn't they? 28 00:01:21,667 --> 00:01:25,347 Speaker 3: Absolutely? And I think I think we've got to look 29 00:01:25,387 --> 00:01:29,427 Speaker 3: at the players that weren't available with day, you know, 30 00:01:29,747 --> 00:01:32,947 Speaker 3: with the team, so there was about five of them 31 00:01:32,987 --> 00:01:36,027 Speaker 3: that weren't available, So I mean, I think those were 32 00:01:36,067 --> 00:01:37,707 Speaker 3: the ones that probably complained. 33 00:01:38,827 --> 00:01:40,667 Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't know that, Lily. We don't know who 34 00:01:41,067 --> 00:01:43,427 Speaker 2: who has made the complaints, and it's probably a little 35 00:01:43,427 --> 00:01:46,827 Speaker 2: bit you know. I'm not sure it's that valuable to 36 00:01:48,307 --> 00:01:50,947 Speaker 2: assume anything in the absence of absolute knowledge. But I 37 00:01:51,067 --> 00:01:52,667 Speaker 2: know what you're saying, and I know a lot of 38 00:01:52,707 --> 00:01:56,547 Speaker 2: things have been said about you know, about who said what. 39 00:01:57,307 --> 00:01:59,147 Speaker 2: We'll take some more calls on the NEBUL eight hundred 40 00:01:59,147 --> 00:02:01,547 Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty if you texts through here, Jason, 41 00:02:01,587 --> 00:02:04,787 Speaker 2: the silver Fan's considered sixteen points in the last quarter, 42 00:02:05,587 --> 00:02:08,267 Speaker 2: clearly in the adding a lack of fitness. Do you 43 00:02:08,347 --> 00:02:10,787 Speaker 2: need any more proof they do not meet the fitness 44 00:02:10,867 --> 00:02:16,667 Speaker 2: requirements that Dame Nolen required. Look, Terry, thanks for your text. 45 00:02:18,667 --> 00:02:23,227 Speaker 2: I don't know that a player will stop trying to 46 00:02:23,267 --> 00:02:25,707 Speaker 2: reach fitness targets just because their coach isn't there to 47 00:02:25,787 --> 00:02:29,627 Speaker 2: drive them anymore. Maybe that is naive. Maybe I don't know. 48 00:02:29,907 --> 00:02:33,107 Speaker 2: Maybe there are players in the team who who do 49 00:02:33,347 --> 00:02:38,027 Speaker 2: need to have a hard task master driving them on. 50 00:02:38,907 --> 00:02:41,667 Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe they do, but I'm not sure 51 00:02:41,707 --> 00:02:47,307 Speaker 2: that a player's personal and professional pride would stop them 52 00:02:47,427 --> 00:02:50,587 Speaker 2: from wanting to be as fit as they possibly could. 53 00:02:53,067 --> 00:02:56,107 Speaker 2: Dame Nolen says this text from ra would have been 54 00:02:56,187 --> 00:02:58,307 Speaker 2: totally annoyed at the lack of fitness coming home to 55 00:02:58,427 --> 00:03:01,187 Speaker 2: roost in the fourth quarter, lack of oxygen going to 56 00:03:01,227 --> 00:03:07,187 Speaker 2: the brain leading to inexcusable mistakes and handling errors. Hello Heather, 57 00:03:08,427 --> 00:03:09,627 Speaker 2: Oh gosh, that was fast. 58 00:03:09,707 --> 00:03:15,507 Speaker 3: Hello, I'm speaking with Jason am I.

Did 94 00:04:49,587 --> 00:04:52,467 Speaker 2: you know though, pre season that you were going to 95 00:04:52,467 --> 00:04:53,547 Speaker 2: be a pretty decent side? 96 00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:57,107 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I guess we've had We've had a tough 97 00:04:57,147 --> 00:04:59,907 Speaker 5: couple of years, but we've had returning boys from the 98 00:05:00,027 --> 00:05:02,907 Speaker 5: last couple of seasons and I think it's really helped 99 00:05:02,947 --> 00:05:06,147 Speaker 5: them when you build connections and stuff and just know 100 00:05:06,267 --> 00:05:08,827 Speaker 5: that that we had us to hopefully go the whole way. 101 00:05:09,307 --> 00:05:11,307 Speaker 2: A lot of you weren't even born the last time 102 00:05:11,347 --> 00:05:15,227 Speaker 2: Otago won the NPC back in nineteen ninety eight.

Can you can you 178 00:08:39,907 --> 00:08:40,427 Speaker 2: block it out? 179 00:08:41,827 --> 00:08:45,187 Speaker 5: Yeah? I've found raised to keep my mind off it 180 00:08:45,267 --> 00:08:48,227 Speaker 5: and not really focus on it. I'm just looking forward 181 00:08:48,267 --> 00:08:51,427 Speaker 5: to finishing the season with a target and then ye're 182 00:08:51,547 --> 00:08:52,907 Speaker 5: just to break from footy after that. 183 00:08:53,587 --> 00:08:56,027 Speaker 2: We had Jamie Joseph on the show earlier today. He 184 00:08:56,147 --> 00:08:59,307 Speaker 2: took us through the rationale of not picking you for 185 00:08:59,387 --> 00:09:02,627 Speaker 2: the All Blacks fifteen tour. Were you okay with that decision? 186 00:09:03,507 --> 00:09:06,307 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm happy. I wasn't expecting a call or anything. 187 00:09:06,587 --> 00:09:10,387 Speaker 5: I think I've got a quality n three quality nines 188 00:09:10,427 --> 00:09:12,867 Speaker 5: in there, and yeah, I guess maybe in a couple 189 00:09:12,907 --> 00:09:15,667 Speaker 5: of years. That's the goal. That just kind of taking 190 00:09:15,707 --> 00:09:17,467 Speaker 5: it one sep at a time. At the moment, you. 191 00:09:17,507 --> 00:09:19,787 Speaker 2: Look around the country and there's some pretty decent nines 192 00:09:19,827 --> 00:09:23,707 Speaker 2: running around, yourself included obviously, and there's six that have 193 00:09:23,787 --> 00:09:25,307 Speaker 2: been chosen for the All Blacks, and there's All Blacks 194 00:09:25,347 --> 00:09:28,787 Speaker 2: fifteen squad that's about to head away. You must feel 195 00:09:28,787 --> 00:09:31,187 Speaker 2: as though you're part of a pretty pretty decent bunch 196 00:09:31,267 --> 00:09:33,307 Speaker 2: of halfbacks running around right now. 197 00:09:34,147 --> 00:09:39,307 Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it's good. It's cool to see the quality 198 00:09:39,387 --> 00:09:41,347 Speaker 5: nines going around the country. And I think it's just 199 00:09:41,987 --> 00:09:44,387 Speaker 5: adds to the competition, I guess, and how I want 200 00:09:44,387 --> 00:09:45,027 Speaker 5: to play my game. 201 00:09:45,227 --> 00:09:46,867 Speaker 2: We're often hurly. Come on, last night, I got a 202 00:09:46,907 --> 00:09:48,667 Speaker 2: try and then I saw him limp Off. Is he okay? 203 00:09:49,587 --> 00:09:49,787 Speaker 1: Yeah? 204 00:09:49,787 --> 00:09:52,187 Speaker 5: I haven't heard very much, but I think you'd be sweet. 205 00:09:52,227 --> 00:09:55,747 Speaker 5: He's walking around and hopefully all the news. 206 00:09:55,587 --> 00:09:57,467 Speaker 2: For some so I guess you just sit back now 207 00:09:57,507 --> 00:09:59,387 Speaker 2: and cheer for Hawk's bay Ton ideas so you can 208 00:09:59,427 --> 00:10:00,627 Speaker 2: host the final next week. 209 00:10:01,547 --> 00:10:05,107 Speaker 5: Yeah, it'd be pretty unreal to have a home home 210 00:10:05,227 --> 00:10:07,707 Speaker 5: final under the stadium with another picked out crowd. It'd 211 00:10:07,747 --> 00:10:11,067 Speaker 5: be cool to see that. Whatever where that game goes, 212 00:10:11,107 --> 00:10:14,347 Speaker 5: I guess the boys have to prepare him appearing. 213 00:10:14,067 --> 00:10:16,347 Speaker 2: For a win and they talk about earning another Monday, 214 00:10:16,427 --> 00:10:18,987 Speaker 2: which you guys have obviously done with you with your 215 00:10:19,027 --> 00:10:21,707 Speaker 2: win last night. What do you think the weak ahead 216 00:10:22,187 --> 00:10:24,387 Speaker 2: will look like? Do you get the feeling that you'll 217 00:10:24,467 --> 00:10:26,787 Speaker 2: try as a playing group and think the coaches will 218 00:10:26,827 --> 00:10:28,787 Speaker 2: encourage you just to treat it like another week, or 219 00:10:29,267 --> 00:10:31,867 Speaker 2: will you actually embrace the fact that there's a massive 220 00:10:31,907 --> 00:10:32,587 Speaker 2: game at the end of it. 221 00:10:33,507 --> 00:10:36,067 Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely. I think it'll be much the same as 222 00:10:36,547 --> 00:10:38,227 Speaker 5: any other week. I don't think we have to look 223 00:10:38,267 --> 00:10:40,827 Speaker 5: at it too deep. It's obviously a big game, but 224 00:10:41,387 --> 00:10:43,987 Speaker 5: if we trust our game plan, I think we can 225 00:10:44,027 --> 00:10:44,507 Speaker 5: get it done. 226 00:10:45,147 --> 00:10:47,867 Speaker 2: You're starting to get recognized around the streets of Dunedin. 227 00:10:47,507 --> 00:10:50,867 Speaker 1: Now, No, not yet. 228 00:10:50,987 --> 00:10:54,347 Speaker 2: No, you'd be very modest, mate, and I think that's 229 00:10:54,387 --> 00:10:56,867 Speaker 2: probably a hallmark of the way you're playing. Hay Dylan, 230 00:10:56,907 --> 00:10:59,227 Speaker 2: congrats on last night. Another great performance from you and 231 00:10:59,227 --> 00:11:02,387 Speaker 2: the Otago boys. I actually I think anyone outside christ 232 00:11:02,467 --> 00:11:04,387 Speaker 2: Which hopes that Hawks Bay win tonight so you guys 233 00:11:04,427 --> 00:11:06,267 Speaker 2: can host the final, but we'll see how it goes. 234 00:11:06,347 --> 00:11:08,027 Speaker 2: Thanks for taking the time for a chat.
