Speaker 2: New Zealand Cricket and Sky have agreed terms on a

77
00:04:30,867 --> 00:04:34,307

80
00:04:41,787 --> 00:04:45,627
Speaker 2: first time since twenty twenty. New Zealand Cricket CEO Scott

81
00:04:45,667 --> 00:04:47,547
Speaker 2: winning is with U Scott. Thanks for joining us to

82
00:04:47,547 --> 00:04:49,867
Speaker 2: wrap some context around it for us. First of all,

83
00:04:49,947 --> 00:04:53,227
Speaker 2: how good an outcome is this for New Zealand cricket.

84
00:04:54,467 --> 00:04:59,067
Speaker 9: It's an excellent outcome to have some certainty around the

85
00:04:59,147 --> 00:05:05,067
Speaker 9: short to midterm, you know, commercials on our domestic broadcasting

86
00:05:05,187 --> 00:05:09,787
Speaker 9: arrangement as news for New Zealand Cricket. Sky is obviously

87
00:05:10,067 --> 00:05:12,747
Speaker 9: a very very capable broadcaster and has a lot of

88
00:05:12,787 --> 00:05:16,867
Speaker 9: experience in broadcasting cricket, so that's also great. And there's

89
00:05:16,867 --> 00:05:20,787
Speaker 9: also the free to wear element to to the deal,

90
00:05:20,867 --> 00:05:23,427
Speaker 9: which which is great too. That means we're still going

91
00:05:23,467 --> 00:05:26,267
Speaker 9: to be able to really drive fan engagement through a

92
00:05:26,347 --> 00:05:27,267
Speaker 9: free to wear products.

93
00:05:27,547 --> 00:05:29,307
Speaker 2: Want to get into the nuts and bolts of the

94
00:05:29,307 --> 00:05:31,067
Speaker 2: deal in the moment in terms of the free to

95
00:05:31,067 --> 00:05:34,987
Speaker 2: wear component and other things. But how important is broadcast

96
00:05:35,147 --> 00:05:37,707
Speaker 2: revenue to New Zealand crickets balance sheet?

97
00:05:39,147 --> 00:05:42,827
Speaker 9: Very important. It would be great to keep all of

98
00:05:42,827 --> 00:05:46,067
Speaker 9: our cricket on free to wear, but the reality is

99
00:05:46,147 --> 00:05:50,227
Speaker 9: we need to have some broadcast revenue to be able

100
00:05:50,267 --> 00:05:53,987
Speaker 9: to pay our professional players, the Black Cats, White Firms

101
00:05:54,027 --> 00:05:58,307
Speaker 9: and our major association players, but also to invest in

102
00:05:58,347 --> 00:06:02,227
Speaker 9: the community game to ensure that we're able to bring

103
00:06:02,307 --> 00:06:05,067
Speaker 9: through the next generation of black cats and white and

104
00:06:06,467 --> 00:06:10,627
Speaker 9: we didn't have that bodcast review, you know, our whole

105
00:06:10,667 --> 00:06:12,467
Speaker 9: commercial model would risk.

106
00:06:13,427 --> 00:06:16,107
Speaker 2: It's such a balancing act for you though, isn't it.

107
00:06:16,147 --> 00:06:18,227
Speaker 2: We spoke last year Scott and you talked about the

108
00:06:18,267 --> 00:06:21,347
Speaker 2: importance of having cricket on free to wear TV, even

109
00:06:21,427 --> 00:06:24,707
Speaker 2: when a pay per view broadcaster has the rights. So

110
00:06:25,387 --> 00:06:29,027
Speaker 2: we will see some international cricket on free to air

111
00:06:29,147 --> 00:06:30,467
Speaker 2: TV under this new deal.

112
00:06:32,067 --> 00:06:34,867
Speaker 9: Yes. One of the one of the you know, one

113
00:06:34,907 --> 00:06:38,347
Speaker 9: of the toughest negotiations so to be fair was ensuring

114
00:06:38,427 --> 00:06:42,347
Speaker 9: that at least one international of each T twenty series

115
00:06:42,387 --> 00:06:45,907
Speaker 9: would be shown on free to wear along with the

116
00:06:45,947 --> 00:06:49,027
Speaker 9: Super Smash. So this Super Snash was carved out, and

117
00:06:49,107 --> 00:06:52,427
Speaker 9: we also agreed that you know, one international press series

118
00:06:52,427 --> 00:06:55,547
Speaker 9: would be carved out. So that creates what we think

119
00:06:55,667 --> 00:07:00,467
Speaker 9: is a really nice package of freeware product that that

120
00:07:01,107 --> 00:07:03,507
Speaker 9: you know, other broadcasters, you know pg TV here or

121
00:07:03,587 --> 00:07:08,947
Speaker 9: other free toware broadcasters will be interested. So it's a

122
00:07:08,987 --> 00:07:12,747
Speaker 9: really difficult balancing act and credit to Skye being said

123
00:07:12,787 --> 00:07:15,947
Speaker 9: to do it because they also see, you know, the

124
00:07:16,027 --> 00:07:19,667
Speaker 9: benefits of partnering together to really try and build and

125
00:07:19,787 --> 00:07:22,867
Speaker 9: drive cricket because ultimately that benefits to.

126
00:07:22,867 --> 00:07:25,347
Speaker 2: Them also, it does, it does, But I guess you're

127
00:07:25,427 --> 00:07:27,427
Speaker 2: right from the point of view they want it all

128
00:07:27,467 --> 00:07:30,867
Speaker 2: behind a payball so they can drive subscriptions. You probably

129
00:07:30,907 --> 00:07:32,427
Speaker 2: want it all on free to wear so you can

130
00:07:32,507 --> 00:07:38,147
Speaker 2: drive viewer engagement. So what are those conversations like, yeah, look, but.

131
00:07:38,307 --> 00:07:42,507
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, social Malone is ultimately a cricket fan,

132
00:07:43,027 --> 00:07:46,227
Speaker 9: her husband and two boys, but three boys all play cricket,

133
00:07:46,347 --> 00:07:48,307
Speaker 9: so so she was delighted from that point of view

134
00:07:48,307 --> 00:07:51,347
Speaker 9: of you know, getting cricket back, but also driving it.

135
00:07:51,907 --> 00:07:54,667
Speaker 9: Look at the balancing act because you need to make

136
00:07:54,707 --> 00:07:58,187
Speaker 9: sure that you're not impacting the financials by providing too

137
00:07:58,267 --> 00:08:00,507
Speaker 9: much free to wear, So it is it is a

138
00:08:00,547 --> 00:08:05,987
Speaker 9: difficult balance, but you know it's happy free where ultimately

139
00:08:06,507 --> 00:08:09,507
Speaker 9: we think we'll drive you know, subscriber numbers in the

140
00:08:09,587 --> 00:08:10,427
Speaker 9: Sky as well.

141
00:08:11,427 --> 00:08:14,187
Speaker 2: So when you're coming up with the free to wear component,

142
00:08:14,787 --> 00:08:17,267
Speaker 2: do you work with Sky on that in terms of

143
00:08:17,267 --> 00:08:20,227
Speaker 2: their Sky Open channel or with a free to wear

144
00:08:20,307 --> 00:08:20,907
Speaker 2: provider like.

145
00:08:20,947 --> 00:08:26,307
Speaker 9: TV and Z so, so that's open to negotiation. So

146
00:08:26,907 --> 00:08:30,667
Speaker 9: what we were essentially to have is a package that

147
00:08:30,827 --> 00:08:34,067
Speaker 9: is the soup smash and those those one games to

148
00:08:34,107 --> 00:08:37,707
Speaker 9: each series that will be offering to TV and ZD

149
00:08:38,507 --> 00:08:44,387
Speaker 9: or to Discovery and look ultimately not in this is

150
00:08:44,467 --> 00:08:47,627
Speaker 9: those then you know it might end up on the

151
00:08:48,347 --> 00:08:53,747
Speaker 9: Sky channel and then it's about us, you know, working

152
00:08:53,747 --> 00:08:59,507
Speaker 9: together the Sky to really drive engagement and participation on

153
00:08:59,547 --> 00:09:03,067
Speaker 9: that channel. So that might mean we'll have advertising models

154
00:09:03,107 --> 00:09:05,347
Speaker 9: so that we're coming out a lot harder.

155
00:09:06,427 --> 00:09:09,187
Speaker 2: Do you think TV and Jet are keen to extend

156
00:09:09,227 --> 00:09:10,107
Speaker 2: their partnership with you?

157
00:09:11,627 --> 00:09:11,987
Speaker 8: I hope.

158
00:09:12,027 --> 00:09:17,627
Speaker 9: So. Yeah, the numbers for Super Smash have been extraordinary

159
00:09:17,667 --> 00:09:22,227
Speaker 9: this year and that's been a combination of a fantastic

160
00:09:22,267 --> 00:09:26,107
Speaker 9: product that Penians there has put together a whisper but

161
00:09:26,187 --> 00:09:28,827
Speaker 9: also the quality of precatives and such that you know,

162
00:09:28,947 --> 00:09:34,147
Speaker 9: people have really engaged with deportment. But also you know

163
00:09:34,227 --> 00:09:38,067
Speaker 9: that having one game from this series on free to

164
00:09:38,107 --> 00:09:42,507
Speaker 9: air is a pretty compelling opportunity for a free to

165
00:09:42,787 --> 00:09:45,547
Speaker 9: provide a lot of TV ded But you know, we

166
00:09:45,547 --> 00:09:47,787
Speaker 9: we as part of this, we have been discussed with

167
00:09:47,827 --> 00:09:50,547
Speaker 9: Preving Dead about what they you know, what they would

168
00:09:50,667 --> 00:09:52,187
Speaker 9: like to have going forward.

169
00:09:53,987 --> 00:09:57,627
Speaker 2: Is there any way for you to to quantify the

170
00:09:57,667 --> 00:10:01,307
Speaker 2: positive effect to the game of having international cricket on

171
00:10:01,347 --> 00:10:05,107
Speaker 2: free to air over the last couple of summers.

172
00:10:05,587 --> 00:10:10,027
Speaker 9: Probably, I think if we if we've got an actually involved,

173
00:10:10,467 --> 00:10:11,147
Speaker 9: I'm sure.

174
00:10:10,947 --> 00:10:12,987
Speaker 2: We probably well, I don't think we want to do

175
00:10:13,027 --> 00:10:14,227
Speaker 2: that today.

176
00:10:14,547 --> 00:10:17,507
Speaker 9: But you know there will be there absolutely will be

177
00:10:17,547 --> 00:10:20,947
Speaker 9: some way of doing that. I mean, just just at

178
00:10:20,987 --> 00:10:24,427
Speaker 9: a really high level. When you know, when we showed

179
00:10:24,427 --> 00:10:27,987
Speaker 9: a T twenty on Spark, I think there was about

180
00:10:27,987 --> 00:10:31,467
Speaker 9: one hundred and fifty thousand average previously on TV and

181
00:10:31,507 --> 00:10:35,467
Speaker 9: there sorry on Sky was render two fifty three hundred.

182
00:10:35,947 --> 00:10:38,587
Speaker 9: You know where we're getting viewership numbers of you know,

183
00:10:38,787 --> 00:10:44,027
Speaker 9: over a million, you know, one one two million watching

184
00:10:44,107 --> 00:10:48,387
Speaker 9: our T twenty, so in terms of eyeballs significant and

185
00:10:48,427 --> 00:10:51,627
Speaker 9: then of course that then drives advertising revenue, et cetera.

186
00:10:52,227 --> 00:10:55,547
Speaker 9: So well, someone much more than me will be able

187
00:10:55,587 --> 00:10:57,707
Speaker 9: to actually try and re number on that.

188
00:10:58,027 --> 00:11:01,067
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think we can anecdotally anyway we can say,

189
00:11:01,107 --> 00:11:04,587
Speaker 2: can't we that it's been extremely positive. You know, the

190
00:11:04,587 --> 00:11:06,347
Speaker 2: more people who can watch, the more people who were

191
00:11:06,427 --> 00:11:09,907
Speaker 2: engage with it. Anyway, we move on from the freeware component.

192
00:11:09,947 --> 00:11:12,107
Speaker 2: We look forward to seeing how that plays out. In

193
00:11:12,187 --> 00:11:15,347
Speaker 2: terms of the contract length, Scott six years, that's a

194
00:11:15,387 --> 00:11:19,907
Speaker 2: decent contract length. Were always keen on that sort of term.

195
00:11:20,227 --> 00:11:21,147
Speaker 10: Yes, I was.

196
00:11:21,187 --> 00:11:25,547
Speaker 9: Actually we when we signed up with Sony to show

197
00:11:25,747 --> 00:11:28,947
Speaker 9: for our Indian broadcast deal, it was six years and

198
00:11:29,067 --> 00:11:33,027
Speaker 9: essentially that takes two India tours. So I was came

199
00:11:33,107 --> 00:11:36,907
Speaker 9: to match those up because what that does essentially gives

200
00:11:37,067 --> 00:11:41,107
Speaker 9: us certainty of income to enable us to invest, but

201
00:11:41,147 --> 00:11:45,347
Speaker 9: it also gives your your partners in this case Sky,

202
00:11:46,587 --> 00:11:51,507
Speaker 9: the opportunity to invest in the partner. So yeah, look,

203
00:11:51,547 --> 00:11:54,947
Speaker 9: Sky would have probably liked the longer one, but six

204
00:11:55,027 --> 00:11:55,987
Speaker 9: years out about.

205
00:11:55,747 --> 00:11:58,987
Speaker 2: White Class, So skyt was keen on longer than six years.

206
00:12:00,427 --> 00:12:03,787
Speaker 9: Yeah, because I mean for them, you know, again, it's

207
00:12:03,867 --> 00:12:09,227
Speaker 9: certainty of content, so able invest and enables their investors

208
00:12:09,267 --> 00:12:11,347
Speaker 9: to look at what is the content that they have

209
00:12:11,507 --> 00:12:14,547
Speaker 9: come down the track. So therefore to determine, you know,

210
00:12:15,347 --> 00:12:16,747
Speaker 9: the value of Sky of a.

211
00:12:16,747 --> 00:12:21,067
Speaker 2: Business and to just clarify for us the nature of

212
00:12:21,467 --> 00:12:24,027
Speaker 2: when the black Caps and White Ferns play overseas. That's

213
00:12:24,107 --> 00:12:26,467
Speaker 2: different again, isn't it It is?

214
00:12:26,587 --> 00:12:30,507
Speaker 9: Yes, Sky currently hold the rights for the ICC, so

215
00:12:31,067 --> 00:12:34,747
Speaker 9: whenever the black Caps are watching in an icy ICC tournament,

216
00:12:34,987 --> 00:12:38,107
Speaker 9: they will it will be shown on Sky. And I

217
00:12:38,107 --> 00:12:40,987
Speaker 9: think they have that out to twenty twenty eight and

218
00:12:41,027 --> 00:12:45,987
Speaker 9: then Sky will separately negotiate with other member boards. So

219
00:12:46,067 --> 00:12:49,147
Speaker 9: as I understand that they're currently in negotiations with Cricket

220
00:12:49,187 --> 00:12:52,707
Speaker 9: Australia to show any of the crickets that's in Australia,

221
00:12:52,707 --> 00:12:55,267
Speaker 9: including Black Caps and white Women in the same but

222
00:12:55,387 --> 00:12:56,587
Speaker 9: he said and other boards.

223
00:12:57,467 --> 00:13:00,347
Speaker 2: All right, so just to wrap this up, it's a

224
00:13:00,387 --> 00:13:02,347
Speaker 2: good outcome for New Zealand cricket in terms of your

225
00:13:02,387 --> 00:13:05,187
Speaker 2: balance sheet and the balance you've struck, you feel it's

226
00:13:05,227 --> 00:13:08,027
Speaker 2: also a good outcome for New Zealand cricket fans.

227
00:13:08,027 --> 00:13:12,787
Speaker 9: Scott, Yes, I do, Yeah, I absolutely do, because you

228
00:13:12,827 --> 00:13:16,147
Speaker 9: know Sky Sky is almost like a utility in New Zealand.

229
00:13:16,267 --> 00:13:20,387
Speaker 9: You know, most people have it and so you know

230
00:13:20,507 --> 00:13:23,027
Speaker 9: the reaction to it being back on Sky has been positive.

231
00:13:23,387 --> 00:13:26,787
Speaker 9: But also I think balancing up having free to wear

232
00:13:26,987 --> 00:13:29,187
Speaker 9: means you know, we're really going to continue to have

233
00:13:29,307 --> 00:13:31,467
Speaker 9: the best of both will not not quite the same

234
00:13:32,067 --> 00:13:36,827
Speaker 9: state that we've had recently, but still were similar opportunity

235
00:13:36,907 --> 00:13:39,827
Speaker 9: for fantasy freeo wear. But also see you know some

236
00:13:39,947 --> 00:13:43,867
Speaker 9: pretty compelling and well produced cricket on Sky.

237
00:13:44,627 --> 00:13:46,867
Speaker 2: Indeed, do you think the black Caps can win the

238
00:13:46,947 --> 00:13:47,827
Speaker 2: Champions Trophy?

239
00:13:50,227 --> 00:13:53,307
Speaker 9: I'm just going to go and touch this wooden the

240
00:13:53,507 --> 00:13:59,067
Speaker 9: three next to me. Look, they are playing some outstanding cricket,

241
00:13:59,427 --> 00:14:02,827
Speaker 9: you know, but you know there's some incredibly strong teams.

242
00:14:02,867 --> 00:14:05,827
Speaker 9: I sort of watched England Australia over night and that

243
00:14:05,907 --> 00:14:08,347
Speaker 9: was quite hearious to the quality of some of the

244
00:14:08,387 --> 00:14:11,467
Speaker 9: betting there. But absolutely we can you know they're playing

245
00:14:11,827 --> 00:14:14,987
Speaker 9: with the black Cats are playing playing very very well.

246
00:14:15,467 --> 00:14:18,587
Speaker 9: They look very composed to great balance in the team

247
00:14:18,627 --> 00:14:22,307
Speaker 9: at the moment. So yeah, we were one more game

248
00:14:22,347 --> 00:14:26,267
Speaker 9: and we're into the semes and then anything can happen, I.

249
00:14:26,227 --> 00:14:29,187
Speaker 2: Guess indeed, as we saw from the White Ferns last year.

250
00:14:29,587 --> 00:14:33,267
Speaker 2: Of course, Scott, great chat, thanks for wrapping some context

251
00:14:33,267 --> 00:14:36,387
Speaker 2: around this new broadcast deal for us. Really appreciate your

252
00:14:36,387 --> 00:14:37,707
Speaker 2: time and we'll catch up again soon.

253
00:14:38,067 --> 00:14:39,827
Speaker 9: Bye a pleaure Jason, thanks for having me on.

254
00:14:39,867 --> 00:14:41,627
Speaker 2: No, thanks for joining u. Scott Scott went it their

255
00:14:41,747 --> 00:14:45,147
Speaker 2: CEO of New Zealand Cricket here on weekend. Support your

256
00:14:45,267 --> 00:14:47,587
Speaker 2: chance to react to what you heard there from Scott

257
00:14:47,587 --> 00:14:50,747
Speaker 2: our eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Look, I think

258
00:14:50,787 --> 00:14:56,587
Speaker 2: we all understand the commercial reality here. Broadcast revenue is

259
00:14:56,667 --> 00:15:00,387
Speaker 2: in Scott Winning's words during that chat very important to

260
00:15:00,467 --> 00:15:04,427
Speaker 2: their balance sheet. They have to maximize their return from

261
00:15:04,467 --> 00:15:09,587
Speaker 2: that particular revenue stream while at the same time balancing

262
00:15:09,587 --> 00:15:14,707
Speaker 2: the largely unquantifiable but extremely important factor of allowing access

263
00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:18,827
Speaker 2: to anyone regardless of whether they have Sky or not.

264
00:15:19,507 --> 00:15:22,787
Speaker 2: Now New Zealand Cricket were given an absolute Christmas present

265
00:15:23,187 --> 00:15:26,747
Speaker 2: two years ago with the demise of Spark Sport. They

266
00:15:26,787 --> 00:15:30,707
Speaker 2: were given free to wear cricket without losing any broadcast revenue.

267
00:15:30,747 --> 00:15:33,507
Speaker 2: We all know the situation that played out there Spark

268
00:15:33,827 --> 00:15:37,987
Speaker 2: ceased to exist. TVNS had picked up the rights Spark Sport. Well,

269
00:15:38,027 --> 00:15:41,107
Speaker 2: I guess their parent company said look, we'll still pay

270
00:15:41,147 --> 00:15:44,307
Speaker 2: the money and honor our contract for the next two summers.

271
00:15:44,307 --> 00:15:47,827
Speaker 2: So free to wear cricket without losing broadcast revenue. Perfect storm.

272
00:15:48,067 --> 00:15:51,387
Speaker 2: But that was a unique situation and it was always

273
00:15:51,427 --> 00:15:54,467
Speaker 2: going to come to an end and New Zealand Cricket

274
00:15:54,467 --> 00:15:56,947
Speaker 2: I think should be congratulated for getting this deal done

275
00:15:57,507 --> 00:16:01,747
Speaker 2: so far in advance. But if they have learned anything

276
00:16:01,867 --> 00:16:06,227
Speaker 2: during this time, it is that free to wear is

277
00:16:06,707 --> 00:16:11,907
Speaker 2: absolutely vital for the future health of their sport, and

278
00:16:11,987 --> 00:16:16,547
Speaker 2: not just their sport. Growing up, we all developed our

279
00:16:16,627 --> 00:16:21,107
Speaker 2: love for the sports we followed by watching them, cricket

280
00:16:21,267 --> 00:16:25,227
Speaker 2: and in fact all sports have to rethink their approach

281
00:16:25,307 --> 00:16:28,267
Speaker 2: to ensure the heroes of their sports. In this case,

282
00:16:28,947 --> 00:16:31,027
Speaker 2: the Black Caps and the White Ferns are in front

283
00:16:31,187 --> 00:16:37,427
Speaker 2: of everyone and they have as you heard from Scott Weening,

284
00:16:37,547 --> 00:16:41,227
Speaker 2: they're the first match in each of the international T

285
00:16:41,227 --> 00:16:46,547
Speaker 2: twenty series will be on free to wear. I just

286
00:16:46,587 --> 00:16:49,307
Speaker 2: wonder whether that's going to be enough, you know, at

287
00:16:49,307 --> 00:16:54,627
Speaker 2: the moment, as I say, it's a unique situation. It's

288
00:16:54,667 --> 00:16:57,947
Speaker 2: all there on free to air, test matches, one day

289
00:16:57,987 --> 00:17:01,947
Speaker 2: Internationals and T twenties, all of it plus the Super

290
00:17:01,987 --> 00:17:05,547
Speaker 2: Smash all free to wear and the Supersmash. From what

291
00:17:05,587 --> 00:17:07,827
Speaker 2: Scott said, then is going to continue to be free

292
00:17:07,827 --> 00:17:10,667
Speaker 2: to wear, whether that be through Sky and Sky Open

293
00:17:10,787 --> 00:17:15,947
Speaker 2: or through TVNZ or Discovery. But is one T twenty

294
00:17:15,987 --> 00:17:23,107
Speaker 2: international per series enough to engage everyone across the country

295
00:17:23,987 --> 00:17:30,387
Speaker 2: while still obviously being totally cognizant of the importance of

296
00:17:30,467 --> 00:17:35,107
Speaker 2: broadcast revenue. Your thoughts are welcome. Phone lines are starting

297
00:17:35,587 --> 00:17:38,147
Speaker 2: to light up. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Let's

298
00:17:38,147 --> 00:17:39,787
Speaker 2: get to them, Mark, I mate.

299
00:17:40,707 --> 00:17:41,427
Speaker 10: Get a piney.

300
00:17:41,547 --> 00:17:44,267
Speaker 4: I'm wrapped to hear the carve out for the Super Smash.

301
00:17:44,307 --> 00:17:46,827
Speaker 4: I think it's so very important that they get that

302
00:17:47,987 --> 00:17:52,307
Speaker 4: immediate fan engagement from no restrictions on the platform. And

303
00:17:52,347 --> 00:17:55,987
Speaker 4: I'm happy as a payer who've been paying for over

304
00:17:56,067 --> 00:18:00,827
Speaker 4: thirty years for Sky for them to have the Deciding game,

305
00:18:01,227 --> 00:18:03,787
Speaker 4: if you know what I mean. So I'm happy to

306
00:18:03,827 --> 00:18:06,467
Speaker 4: pay for that premium product because that's what I'm getting

307
00:18:06,507 --> 00:18:08,587
Speaker 4: at that point. I'm getting the deciding It's like I

308
00:18:08,707 --> 00:18:10,667
Speaker 4: get Game three all the time. I get Game three,

309
00:18:10,707 --> 00:18:13,147
Speaker 4: I get Game three and Freedom where it gets Game

310
00:18:13,187 --> 00:18:15,307
Speaker 4: one and they have to go hunting to get the rest.

311
00:18:15,347 --> 00:18:17,667
Speaker 4: That's sort of how it should be in some respects.

312
00:18:17,747 --> 00:18:21,547
Speaker 4: Get that that primmer is a taste. If you want

313
00:18:21,587 --> 00:18:25,067
Speaker 4: some more, get the online subscription for thirty nine a

314
00:18:25,067 --> 00:18:28,107
Speaker 4: month or whatever, which I think is a great way

315
00:18:28,147 --> 00:18:34,547
Speaker 4: to come at it again. And the level of the

316
00:18:34,587 --> 00:18:38,067
Speaker 4: fact that a little boy little girl can flick on

317
00:18:38,147 --> 00:18:43,187
Speaker 4: the telly in the afternoon and see Super Smash being

318
00:18:43,227 --> 00:18:47,427
Speaker 4: played not far from where they live, let's say, or

319
00:18:47,467 --> 00:18:54,547
Speaker 4: within within a short distance of travel. That again creates

320
00:18:54,587 --> 00:18:58,347
Speaker 4: that possibility of engagement, and that's something that I think

321
00:18:58,387 --> 00:19:02,227
Speaker 4: the game lost for a very long time, regained through

322
00:19:02,267 --> 00:19:05,547
Speaker 4: the twists of fate and the fact that Spark collapsed

323
00:19:06,027 --> 00:19:10,627
Speaker 4: and rediscovered the joys of free to air and I

324
00:19:10,867 --> 00:19:12,987
Speaker 4: long may it continue. And I think they are a

325
00:19:13,027 --> 00:19:15,067
Speaker 4: bunch of other sports that could look at it as well.

326
00:19:15,347 --> 00:19:18,267
Speaker 2: Good Man, Mark, Yeah, look, yeah, no, you've You've laid

327
00:19:18,307 --> 00:19:20,827
Speaker 2: the argument out perfectly. And I like what you said

328
00:19:20,867 --> 00:19:25,187
Speaker 2: there about about the deciding game being being you know, well,

329
00:19:25,307 --> 00:19:26,627
Speaker 2: the first game of the series is the one of

330
00:19:26,627 --> 00:19:29,107
Speaker 2: Fred Toware. It's not the deciding game of a series,

331
00:19:29,187 --> 00:19:30,987
Speaker 2: you know, because that there's a bit more jeopardy around

332
00:19:30,987 --> 00:19:33,507
Speaker 2: about that. And you're right, Scott said the same thing.

333
00:19:33,947 --> 00:19:37,307
Speaker 2: Free to air cricket drives pay per view subscription. So

334
00:19:37,347 --> 00:19:40,027
Speaker 2: from Sky's point of view, look at I'm sure it's

335
00:19:40,027 --> 00:19:42,187
Speaker 2: the argument that new Zellen Cricket put to them. They say, hey,

336
00:19:42,267 --> 00:19:43,987
Speaker 2: we put some on Fred to Are, people will have

337
00:19:44,027 --> 00:19:45,267
Speaker 2: a look at and say, oh, I want more of this,

338
00:19:45,347 --> 00:19:48,267
Speaker 2: I'll subscribe to Sky. I think Sky have been around

339
00:19:48,267 --> 00:19:50,427
Speaker 2: long enough to know the ins and outs of that,

340
00:19:50,507 --> 00:19:54,067
Speaker 2: and I'm sure that is partly true, but you know,

341
00:19:54,107 --> 00:19:57,827
Speaker 2: it's really just a It's an unquantifiable selling point, isn't

342
00:19:57,867 --> 00:20:01,187
Speaker 2: it for them? Thanks for you call Mark, good to

343
00:20:01,187 --> 00:20:03,827
Speaker 2: hear from you. Mate. Hello, Ellen, how are you good?

344
00:20:04,307 --> 00:20:10,787
Speaker 8: Jason? Jason, I'm wondering in the press releases, and there's

345
00:20:10,787 --> 00:20:16,667
Speaker 8: anything about writing your broadcast of cricket, the writing your commentary.

346
00:20:17,387 --> 00:20:21,547
Speaker 2: Yeah, separate negotiation, as I understand it, Ellen, it's that

347
00:20:21,787 --> 00:20:25,067
Speaker 2: those rights are negotiated separately from the television broadcast rights.

348
00:20:26,507 --> 00:20:28,147
Speaker 8: Do you know if it's happening at all.

349
00:20:28,547 --> 00:20:32,227
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm I'm not across that detail, so

350
00:20:32,867 --> 00:20:34,987
Speaker 2: I'm not able to really help you out. I'm afraid

351
00:20:36,227 --> 00:20:38,187
Speaker 2: the weather Cony.

352
00:20:40,027 --> 00:20:44,507
Speaker 8: Commentaries and they were instant commentaries were really really important.

353
00:20:45,587 --> 00:20:51,507
Speaker 8: So anyway, I'm from the blind found version and the

354
00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:54,507
Speaker 8: broadcast cricket, especially international matches.

355
00:20:54,547 --> 00:20:57,227
Speaker 2: It's very very important, indeed, and not not just for

356
00:20:57,267 --> 00:20:59,387
Speaker 2: the blind community, Ellen, I think cricket is the one

357
00:20:59,427 --> 00:21:03,547
Speaker 2: sport that actually is is as good, if not better,

358
00:21:03,867 --> 00:21:05,667
Speaker 2: on the radio than it is on television.

359
00:21:06,867 --> 00:21:10,787
Speaker 8: Well, I have to agree with your good on Yellen.

360
00:21:10,987 --> 00:21:13,547
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling, mate. I appreciate it. Yeah, I'll uh,

361
00:21:13,587 --> 00:21:16,027
Speaker 2: I don't know. This is just the deal around the

362
00:21:16,067 --> 00:21:19,187
Speaker 2: television rights twelve twenty eight. It is will get some

363
00:21:19,227 --> 00:21:20,867
Speaker 2: more calls away in a moment of eight hundred and

364
00:21:20,907 --> 00:21:23,627
Speaker 2: eighty ten, eighty nine, two nine to two on text.

365
00:21:23,707 --> 00:21:25,107
Speaker 2: It's going to break away and come back after this

366
00:21:25,147 --> 00:21:25,707
Speaker 2: with more.

Speaker 2: to Wear make just one T twenty per series.

375
00:21:50,587 --> 00:21:54,267
Speaker 11: What are your thoughts? Yeah, I know we've talked about

376
00:21:54,667 --> 00:21:58,307
Speaker 11: a while ago about that situation. Finey, because you know

377
00:21:58,427 --> 00:22:01,027
Speaker 11: I can understand we Scott when it's coming from, when

378
00:22:01,067 --> 00:22:03,307
Speaker 11: it comes to making sure they get enough revenue and

379
00:22:03,347 --> 00:22:07,907
Speaker 11: paying their players. But just crack it, really eyeballs. And

380
00:22:08,627 --> 00:22:10,627
Speaker 11: it doesn't affect me because I've got Sky but not

381
00:22:10,707 --> 00:22:13,427
Speaker 11: everyone has Guy, and it's just you know, when you

382
00:22:13,467 --> 00:22:16,427
Speaker 11: go into other countries, you know they've got free to

383
00:22:16,507 --> 00:22:19,227
Speaker 11: wear cricket and you know, free to air rugby and whatever.

384
00:22:19,347 --> 00:22:22,627
Speaker 11: But that's especially when you go look at the next

385
00:22:22,667 --> 00:22:26,107
Speaker 11: generation coming through of me. Twenty on a TV one

386
00:22:26,187 --> 00:22:28,787
Speaker 11: or a sky open. It's just you know, for the

387
00:22:28,827 --> 00:22:30,947
Speaker 11: young ones coming through untill they're going to see is

388
00:22:30,987 --> 00:22:33,907
Speaker 11: just tea twenty cricket, you know with the domestic sister

389
00:22:33,947 --> 00:22:36,027
Speaker 11: smash and all that. And I can understand. I mean

390
00:22:36,067 --> 00:22:39,507
Speaker 11: it's only what four hours a game or five hours

391
00:22:39,547 --> 00:22:42,187
Speaker 11: a game where this cricket ball day five days. But

392
00:22:42,907 --> 00:22:44,947
Speaker 11: you know, I don't know, I just it doesn't only

393
00:22:44,987 --> 00:22:47,787
Speaker 11: sit with me finally, because I love Test cricket and

394
00:22:47,907 --> 00:22:51,907
Speaker 11: I just feel that Test cricket is needs, we need that,

395
00:22:52,147 --> 00:22:54,347
Speaker 11: we need to protect it, and we need as much

396
00:22:54,347 --> 00:22:55,067
Speaker 11: eyeballs on it.

397
00:22:55,267 --> 00:22:57,707
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, you won't get an argument from me. Richie

398
00:22:57,707 --> 00:22:59,347
Speaker 2: and I am very like minded when it comes to this.

399
00:22:59,827 --> 00:23:02,027
Speaker 2: We love the red ball game. We've chattled about it often.

400
00:23:02,107 --> 00:23:04,107
Speaker 2: It's just as you were talking, I thought a strategy

401
00:23:04,147 --> 00:23:06,267
Speaker 2: they could have used, actually, if they want to drive subscription,

402
00:23:06,547 --> 00:23:08,707
Speaker 2: is to show the first day of a Test match

403
00:23:09,307 --> 00:23:10,867
Speaker 2: on free to wear and then today if you want

404
00:23:10,867 --> 00:23:13,707
Speaker 2: the rest subscribe rather than the first game in a

405
00:23:13,747 --> 00:23:15,547
Speaker 2: T twenty series. That might have a bit of flow

406
00:23:15,547 --> 00:23:16,867
Speaker 2: on for subscriptions. I don't know.

407
00:23:18,227 --> 00:23:21,107
Speaker 11: Well, I mean there's there's no there's no problem. You know,

408
00:23:21,147 --> 00:23:24,067
Speaker 11: the situation. I remember back in the day when it

409
00:23:24,227 --> 00:23:26,547
Speaker 11: was three to Wear, there were times where it was

410
00:23:26,587 --> 00:23:29,267
Speaker 11: showing live on Saturday and Sunday and then it wasn't

411
00:23:29,307 --> 00:23:31,547
Speaker 11: on the on the weekdays. I mean, that's always an

412
00:23:31,547 --> 00:23:33,627
Speaker 11: option point. And I just think that you know, getting

413
00:23:33,627 --> 00:23:37,347
Speaker 11: some having some test cricket free to wear is by

414
00:23:37,427 --> 00:23:40,867
Speaker 11: still going forward. But yeah, it's just I don't know,

415
00:23:40,907 --> 00:23:43,787
Speaker 11: it's just the oversaturation of tea to any cricket. I mean,

416
00:23:43,867 --> 00:23:45,587
Speaker 11: I don't mind tea too many creat but man, we

417
00:23:45,747 --> 00:23:47,987
Speaker 11: just get a lot of it. And I do like

418
00:23:48,027 --> 00:23:49,867
Speaker 11: the fact that they're going to have a separate deal

419
00:23:49,987 --> 00:23:52,907
Speaker 11: for domestic supersmash and stuff. I think when it's the

420
00:23:52,987 --> 00:23:56,667
Speaker 11: domestic scene, yes, any eyeballs on there the younger talent

421
00:23:56,747 --> 00:23:59,307
Speaker 11: coming through, but you know, with these young ones all

422
00:23:59,347 --> 00:24:01,427
Speaker 11: they're doing all these things teach any cricket, are not

423
00:24:01,507 --> 00:24:04,627
Speaker 11: seeing the test cricket. So yeah, I mean it's great

424
00:24:04,627 --> 00:24:09,307
Speaker 11: to see new deal secured, but you know, I'll certainly

425
00:24:09,307 --> 00:24:13,747
Speaker 11: say the next summer with all the tree we can

426
00:24:13,787 --> 00:24:14,667
Speaker 11: watch absolutely.

427
00:24:14,707 --> 00:24:17,707
Speaker 2: How are you feeling about the Champions Trophy?

428
00:24:18,507 --> 00:24:21,427
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean England and Australia last night, I mean

429
00:24:21,547 --> 00:24:24,667
Speaker 11: Australia chasing down three Thirsty. I mean, I think we've

430
00:24:24,707 --> 00:24:26,747
Speaker 11: got a pretty well balanced tye there, Pointy. I mean

431
00:24:26,787 --> 00:24:30,147
Speaker 11: when you've got people like you know, Phillips em bracefil

432
00:24:30,187 --> 00:24:32,827
Speaker 11: in that middle Water with Mitchell and stuff, I think

433
00:24:32,827 --> 00:24:38,547
Speaker 11: we've got a pretty decent chance. But yeah, I don't,

434
00:24:39,427 --> 00:24:42,947
Speaker 11: to be honest, Pointy, watching a champione trophy in Pakistan

435
00:24:43,067 --> 00:24:45,707
Speaker 11: when we're still in summer and we've got Super rugby

436
00:24:45,707 --> 00:24:47,347
Speaker 11: on at the moment, it's kind of like, where's my

437
00:24:47,387 --> 00:24:48,067
Speaker 11: cricket at home?

438
00:24:48,147 --> 00:24:48,347
Speaker 10: You know.

439
00:24:48,547 --> 00:24:53,347
Speaker 11: So yeah, it's their international scheduling again. But yeah, I

440
00:24:53,387 --> 00:24:54,947
Speaker 11: mean I'm interested, but I think we can.

441
00:24:55,067 --> 00:24:56,347
Speaker 10: I say, we'll get to the semis.

442
00:24:56,387 --> 00:24:59,107
Speaker 11: I think I will get there easily. It's you know,

443
00:24:59,227 --> 00:25:02,667
Speaker 11: South Africa and India. You know, we've got to you

444
00:25:02,707 --> 00:25:05,627
Speaker 11: know when when when we can, So yeah, I think

445
00:25:05,627 --> 00:25:08,267
Speaker 11: we've got a pretty this chapter win it. But yeah,

446
00:25:08,307 --> 00:25:12,147
Speaker 11: this hopefully we can just win those those those cup games.

447
00:25:12,387 --> 00:25:14,027
Speaker 2: Good the chance always rich. Thanks to be come mate,

448
00:25:14,067 --> 00:25:14,827
Speaker 2: and joy the afternoon.

449
00:25:16,067 --> 00:25:17,707
Speaker 11: It is all this.

450
00:25:17,987 --> 00:25:20,147
Speaker 2: One hundred and eighty ten eighty is our number. Dan,

451
00:25:20,187 --> 00:25:22,627
Speaker 2: get the good a pony?

452
00:25:22,747 --> 00:25:23,547
Speaker 10: How are you, mate?

453
00:25:23,627 --> 00:25:25,787
Speaker 2: Dan? Great? Thanks mate? You sound like a box of birds.

454
00:25:25,787 --> 00:25:30,747
Speaker 12: As per Yeah, I was a box of birds. But

455
00:25:31,547 --> 00:25:37,467
Speaker 12: once again News New Zealand Crickets sell their game down

456
00:25:37,587 --> 00:25:45,347
Speaker 12: the gurgler, really, because what they're saying is, hey, we

457
00:25:45,427 --> 00:25:50,507
Speaker 12: may put twenty twenty on. It's like they holding the

458
00:25:52,667 --> 00:25:58,547
Speaker 12: spectators to ransom, if you know what I mean, twenty

459
00:25:58,747 --> 00:26:02,507
Speaker 12: twenty on and if you want to watch the rest

460
00:26:02,787 --> 00:26:09,147
Speaker 12: you have to pay. I think it's just absolutely diabolical

461
00:26:10,107 --> 00:26:14,907
Speaker 12: and really the black texts are hard enough to watch

462
00:26:15,787 --> 00:26:20,027
Speaker 12: as they are on free to wear, never lown paying

463
00:26:20,107 --> 00:26:20,467
Speaker 12: for it?

464
00:26:21,067 --> 00:26:21,227
Speaker 11: Dan.

465
00:26:21,307 --> 00:26:23,867
Speaker 2: Can you put yourself in the shoes though of New

466
00:26:23,947 --> 00:26:28,467
Speaker 2: Zealand Cricket's top brass when they know that the revenue

467
00:26:28,507 --> 00:26:33,627
Speaker 2: they get from broadcast is extremely important to their bottom line,

468
00:26:36,307 --> 00:26:37,707
Speaker 2: Yes I can.

469
00:26:38,347 --> 00:26:40,587
Speaker 12: But though doing fine.

470
00:26:41,747 --> 00:26:43,947
Speaker 6: As it is on free to wear.

471
00:26:44,187 --> 00:26:46,707
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're getting the money. They're getting the money

472
00:26:46,747 --> 00:26:50,147
Speaker 2: from the demise of Sparksport. They're living in a bit

473
00:26:50,187 --> 00:26:54,427
Speaker 2: of a utopia at the moment, completely by good fortune

474
00:26:55,027 --> 00:26:57,147
Speaker 2: and the demise of Sparksport, where they're getting free to

475
00:26:57,187 --> 00:26:59,507
Speaker 2: wear cricket, all of it on free to wear. Plus

476
00:26:59,507 --> 00:27:01,187
Speaker 2: they're still getting the money. But that was always going

477
00:27:01,267 --> 00:27:03,187
Speaker 2: to come to an end, and so that's what this

478
00:27:03,227 --> 00:27:05,107
Speaker 2: new deal is about. So from the summer of twenty

479
00:27:05,147 --> 00:27:07,347
Speaker 2: six twenty seven onwards, it was always going to come

480
00:27:07,387 --> 00:27:10,107
Speaker 2: to an end. And they simply can't put it all

481
00:27:10,107 --> 00:27:11,987
Speaker 2: on free to wear because then they don't have a

482
00:27:12,027 --> 00:27:14,267
Speaker 2: revenue stream from broadcast and it is important to.

483
00:27:14,227 --> 00:27:16,827
Speaker 13: Them and pioneers.

484
00:27:16,907 --> 00:27:19,867
Speaker 12: They say that we're going to put the Super Smash

485
00:27:19,947 --> 00:27:24,267
Speaker 12: on free yep, But you watch the Super Smash, Poney,

486
00:27:24,707 --> 00:27:29,267
Speaker 12: and it's the same old players that were playing.

487
00:27:29,067 --> 00:27:31,627
Speaker 11: Last year and the year before.

488
00:27:31,867 --> 00:27:36,427
Speaker 12: And for me, the seper Super Smash in New Zealand

489
00:27:37,307 --> 00:27:38,827
Speaker 12: doesn't do it all right.

490
00:27:38,867 --> 00:27:40,427
Speaker 2: We must have to we have to differ on that

491
00:27:40,467 --> 00:27:42,587
Speaker 2: down because I've loved it. I've loved watching it. And yes,

492
00:27:42,627 --> 00:27:45,267
Speaker 2: you're right, there are players who you know have been

493
00:27:45,307 --> 00:27:49,027
Speaker 2: around for a bit, but that's the same with the

494
00:27:49,067 --> 00:27:50,907
Speaker 2: black Caps as well. These players and the black Caps

495
00:27:50,947 --> 00:27:53,227
Speaker 2: have been around for a while and continue to play

496
00:27:53,227 --> 00:27:53,707
Speaker 2: for the team.

497
00:27:53,867 --> 00:27:54,027
Speaker 8: Dan.

498
00:27:54,107 --> 00:27:56,147
Speaker 2: I take your point, and I love your passionate argument,

499
00:27:56,467 --> 00:28:01,267
Speaker 2: and I think look, in a perfect world, everything would

500
00:28:01,307 --> 00:28:06,067
Speaker 2: be would be free to wear. And this commercial reality

501
00:28:06,467 --> 00:28:09,787
Speaker 2: that New Zealand cricket and all sport, all professional sport,

502
00:28:09,867 --> 00:28:15,867
Speaker 2: exist within, they cannot turn down broadcast revenue as one

503
00:28:15,867 --> 00:28:18,227
Speaker 2: of their revenue streams. There are only so many revenue

504
00:28:18,227 --> 00:28:25,227
Speaker 2: streams for a sporting organization. Broadcast, sponsorship, ticket and merchandise revenue.

505
00:28:25,347 --> 00:28:30,427
Speaker 2: That's pretty much it. So if you're turning away probably

506
00:28:30,427 --> 00:28:36,187
Speaker 2: the biggest of those, then you know, well they can't.

507
00:28:36,787 --> 00:28:41,267
Speaker 2: There's the answer, they can't, Hailey says Jason. I love

508
00:28:41,387 --> 00:28:43,307
Speaker 2: my cricket, but when are we talking about that amazing

509
00:28:43,347 --> 00:28:46,227
Speaker 2: game yesterday? Loving the next against the port rivalry and

510
00:28:46,267 --> 00:28:49,307
Speaker 2: what about that massive effort from the Highlanders, outstanding from

511
00:28:49,307 --> 00:28:51,907
Speaker 2: the Southern boys. Hailey so pleased to ask the question

512
00:28:52,067 --> 00:28:57,307
Speaker 2: because after one o'clock Steve Coricker, head coach of Auckland FCI,

513
00:28:57,467 --> 00:28:59,507
Speaker 2: is with us, so we'll talk some football after one

514
00:28:59,587 --> 00:29:02,667
Speaker 2: and after two Finn Hurley, who I'm sure you enjoyed

515
00:29:03,107 --> 00:29:06,667
Speaker 2: tearing it up under the roof in dned and last

516
00:29:06,747 --> 00:29:09,347
Speaker 2: night is our guests, So don't worry. We are covering

517
00:29:09,387 --> 00:29:14,067
Speaker 2: off the football and the rugby today, so don't worry

518
00:29:14,067 --> 00:29:16,147
Speaker 2: about it, Hailey, but thank you for thank you for

519
00:29:16,227 --> 00:29:21,187
Speaker 2: checking in. Similar from this text of Real News is

520
00:29:21,187 --> 00:29:23,707
Speaker 2: the Highland is piny and the influence of Jamie Joseph.

521
00:29:23,947 --> 00:29:26,827
Speaker 2: What a game last night they've got some steel and

522
00:29:26,867 --> 00:29:30,387
Speaker 2: then covered a few standouts. Tongue toehurly etc. Tava tava

523
00:29:30,427 --> 00:29:33,667
Speaker 2: nahwai must be in the all Blacks frame criminal if

524
00:29:33,707 --> 00:29:36,947
Speaker 2: not loving. The Highlanders just want for them to kick

525
00:29:36,987 --> 00:29:40,307
Speaker 2: on and string some performances together. They certainly play exciting

526
00:29:40,387 --> 00:29:42,987
Speaker 2: rugby they do indeed, so yep, just to just to

527
00:29:43,027 --> 00:29:45,747
Speaker 2: sort of make a few appointments in your head, we'll

528
00:29:45,787 --> 00:29:48,547
Speaker 2: be talking the football after one and the rugby after two.

529
00:29:48,587 --> 00:29:50,707
Speaker 2: It the moment. It's the cricket though, in particular the

530
00:29:50,747 --> 00:29:53,107
Speaker 2: free to wear element of it and how you balance

531
00:29:54,667 --> 00:29:57,387
Speaker 2: the need for revenue with the need for eyeballs. It

532
00:29:57,467 --> 00:30:00,667
Speaker 2: is the great balancing act of commercial sport. You can

533
00:30:00,707 --> 00:30:04,827
Speaker 2: imagine these conversations, first of all internally at New Zealand Cricket,

534
00:30:04,907 --> 00:30:07,867
Speaker 2: Scott Weening and others sitting around a table saying, okay,

535
00:30:08,387 --> 00:30:12,067
Speaker 2: how do we balance what we need on our balance

536
00:30:12,107 --> 00:30:15,307
Speaker 2: sheet worth what we need in terms of eyeballs, and

537
00:30:15,387 --> 00:30:21,707
Speaker 2: then having that discussion with Sky because Sky, if they

538
00:30:22,347 --> 00:30:26,067
Speaker 2: you know, if they had their absolute ideal scenario, it

539
00:30:26,107 --> 00:30:31,187
Speaker 2: would be everything on pay TV, all of it. But they,

540
00:30:31,947 --> 00:30:34,907
Speaker 2: I think are also aware that having it on free

541
00:30:34,987 --> 00:30:38,227
Speaker 2: to wear helps drive interest in the game, which will

542
00:30:38,347 --> 00:30:41,107
Speaker 2: drive subscriptions. And also this, I don't think there's any

543
00:30:41,147 --> 00:30:43,707
Speaker 2: way now that that New Zealand Cricket or any of

544
00:30:43,747 --> 00:30:47,387
Speaker 2: the others really are gonna come to a bargaining table

545
00:30:47,707 --> 00:30:51,347
Speaker 2: without having free to wear as one of their must haves.

546
00:30:52,507 --> 00:30:55,027
Speaker 2: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine two nine two

547
00:30:55,027 --> 00:30:56,907
Speaker 2: on Text twenty to one back with more after.

548
00:30:56,707 --> 00:31:04,107
Speaker 1: This, the Big issues on and after fields call oh

549
00:31:04,147 --> 00:31:07,347
Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty ten eighty Weekends for with Jason.

550
00:31:07,067 --> 00:31:08,147
Speaker 2: Paine and GJ.

551
00:31:08,267 --> 00:31:12,307
Speaker 1: Gunner Homes New Zealand's most trusted home, Milder News.

552
00:31:12,467 --> 00:31:14,987
Speaker 2: Sixteen Away from one. Mike's gotted New Zealand Cricket have

553
00:31:14,987 --> 00:31:17,227
Speaker 2: gone back to Sky and I'm a Sky subscriber. I

554
00:31:17,267 --> 00:31:19,587
Speaker 2: felt the free to wear model would recapture the New

555
00:31:19,707 --> 00:31:23,147
Speaker 2: Zealand following and help to boost youth cricket. But alas

556
00:31:23,307 --> 00:31:26,307
Speaker 2: we are chasing the dollar again forgetting where future players

557
00:31:26,427 --> 00:31:29,427
Speaker 2: come from. Mike goes on to say money is trumped

558
00:31:29,507 --> 00:31:32,947
Speaker 2: future growth. We need to chase more sponsorship money to

559
00:31:33,027 --> 00:31:35,187
Speaker 2: keep it on. Free to wear sponsorship will come with

560
00:31:35,307 --> 00:31:39,307
Speaker 2: current and recent success. Thanks Mike. Yeah, that's the balancing act. Again,

561
00:31:40,507 --> 00:31:43,427
Speaker 2: I guess the SEE sponsorship is a bit variable as well,

562
00:31:44,027 --> 00:31:47,427
Speaker 2: although they do have contract terms obviously, although as we

563
00:31:47,507 --> 00:31:53,547
Speaker 2: found out with with Anios recently and the All Blacks,

564
00:31:53,747 --> 00:31:57,387
Speaker 2: contracts can be broken. But I mean Sky and for

565
00:31:57,427 --> 00:31:59,627
Speaker 2: New Zealand Cricket getting a six year deal, that's terrific.

566
00:31:59,747 --> 00:32:02,107
Speaker 2: That's a decent chunk And it was surprising for me

567
00:32:02,187 --> 00:32:05,027
Speaker 2: to learn actually that Sky wanted a longer one. But

568
00:32:05,067 --> 00:32:09,107
Speaker 2: I guess they guarantee their content are their content? Sponsorship

569
00:32:09,147 --> 00:32:12,627
Speaker 2: a bit harder, isn't it than broadcast revenue to go

570
00:32:12,707 --> 00:32:15,147
Speaker 2: out and get. But I'll take your point, Mike. If

571
00:32:15,147 --> 00:32:18,587
Speaker 2: you are going to get less from broadcast because there's

572
00:32:18,627 --> 00:32:20,587
Speaker 2: more on Free to Wear, then you make that up

573
00:32:21,627 --> 00:32:26,107
Speaker 2: and you make that up in sponsorship. Jason, it took

574
00:32:26,147 --> 00:32:31,347
Speaker 2: you thirty eight minutes to mention the Rugby Highlanders against Blues. No, No,

575
00:32:31,867 --> 00:32:33,947
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure we had it at about eight minutes

576
00:32:33,987 --> 00:32:37,467
Speaker 2: past midday. Are you still grieving at the loss of

577
00:32:37,507 --> 00:32:42,147
Speaker 2: your Blues? Who do you think you're talking? Where do

578
00:32:42,227 --> 00:32:47,627
Speaker 2: you think I come from? I'm a Hurricanes fan. Honestly,

579
00:32:48,347 --> 00:32:51,707
Speaker 2: people must think that we have something against teams outside

580
00:32:51,707 --> 00:32:52,187
Speaker 2: of Auckland.

581
00:32:52,307 --> 00:32:52,747
Speaker 5: We do not.

582
00:32:53,507 --> 00:32:56,427
Speaker 2: We do not. I certainly do not. I love it

583
00:32:56,467 --> 00:33:00,187
Speaker 2: when the Blues lose. Cando Jason says Andy, I was

584
00:33:00,227 --> 00:33:02,867
Speaker 2: in Brisbane years ago when there was a Test at

585
00:33:02,867 --> 00:33:05,387
Speaker 2: the Gabba and there was free to wear except for

586
00:33:05,467 --> 00:33:07,587
Speaker 2: the city the match or being played in and the

587
00:33:07,627 --> 00:33:09,827
Speaker 2: city where the match was being played. Only the first

588
00:33:09,867 --> 00:33:13,347
Speaker 2: session was free to wear. Thanks Andy, good stuff and

589
00:33:13,587 --> 00:33:16,987
Speaker 2: Blakes's white people complaining the cricket isn't free, neither's NRL

590
00:33:17,427 --> 00:33:21,907
Speaker 2: Super Rugby football, et cetera. Fact of life. Thanks Blake,

591
00:33:22,027 --> 00:33:24,787
Speaker 2: and thank you all for your calls and correspondences. Got

592
00:33:24,787 --> 00:33:27,467
Speaker 2: to get you to Saudi Arabia, where there's been success

593
00:33:27,467 --> 00:33:34,427
Speaker 2: for KIWI heavyweight Joseph Parker and read shot Parker.

594
00:33:35,147 --> 00:33:36,267
Speaker 8: He was befuddled.

595
00:33:36,427 --> 00:33:39,547
Speaker 3: Honey's down. I'm not sure he's going to make this count.

596
00:33:39,627 --> 00:33:43,227
Speaker 1: Marsi pecudary just about he gets Tracksman's scoring.

597
00:33:43,027 --> 00:33:49,227
Speaker 2: In hate Psycho all over, Joseph Parker knocking out Martin

598
00:33:49,307 --> 00:33:53,027
Speaker 2: Bacoli in the second rounds of their heavyweight boxing fight.

599
00:33:53,107 --> 00:33:56,547
Speaker 2: Watching ringside was The New Zealand Herald's Liam Napier, who

600
00:33:56,627 --> 00:33:59,587
Speaker 2: joins us now from Saudi Arabia. Give us the broad

601
00:33:59,667 --> 00:34:01,867
Speaker 2: brush strokes of what played out in the two rounds

602
00:34:01,867 --> 00:34:03,867
Speaker 2: that you saw liam.

603
00:34:03,707 --> 00:34:05,147
Speaker 3: A statement performance. Pony.

604
00:34:05,667 --> 00:34:09,187
Speaker 14: Joseph Parker, of course came into this fight hoping to

605
00:34:09,187 --> 00:34:12,307
Speaker 14: face Daniel Dubuire first and foremost. Dubuis pulled out on

606
00:34:12,347 --> 00:34:15,147
Speaker 14: two days. Notice that Rob Parker of a title shot.

607
00:34:16,507 --> 00:34:22,747
Speaker 14: Martin mccoley stepped up a big Column Colonies fighter. He's

608
00:34:22,787 --> 00:34:26,187
Speaker 14: widely fed in the heavyweight division. They call him the monster.

609
00:34:27,267 --> 00:34:31,867
Speaker 14: He's widely one of the most powerful punches in the division.

610
00:34:32,187 --> 00:34:35,507
Speaker 14: And park of floridam inside two rounds, one big overhand

611
00:34:35,627 --> 00:34:39,187
Speaker 14: right and another big statement to the heavyweight division.

612
00:34:39,827 --> 00:34:43,667
Speaker 2: Was it was an unusual looking end to the about

613
00:34:44,787 --> 00:34:47,627
Speaker 2: Bacoley was one at one moment was standing up and

614
00:34:47,667 --> 00:34:50,227
Speaker 2: then wobbled and then fell down, almost like a delayed reaction.

615
00:34:50,507 --> 00:34:51,187
Speaker 2: How did you see it?

616
00:34:52,547 --> 00:34:56,307
Speaker 14: Yeah, the big overhand right collected Pecoli on the front

617
00:34:56,307 --> 00:34:58,747
Speaker 14: of the heads and sometimes that can have a bit

618
00:34:58,747 --> 00:35:00,987
Speaker 14: of a delayed reaction. And as you mentioned there, Piney

619
00:35:01,387 --> 00:35:05,067
Speaker 14: stumbled backwards and was out for the count. Basically as

620
00:35:05,147 --> 00:35:08,267
Speaker 14: Corner waved it off and there was no more. We

621
00:35:08,347 --> 00:35:10,827
Speaker 14: do have to consider the fact that Martin buccauley flew

622
00:35:10,867 --> 00:35:14,787
Speaker 14: all the way from Congo via Ethiopia, arrived about two

623
00:35:14,787 --> 00:35:15,667
Speaker 14: am this morning.

624
00:35:15,867 --> 00:35:17,227
Speaker 9: On the fight night.

625
00:35:17,907 --> 00:35:20,427
Speaker 14: He weighed in fourteen cag's heavier than he was for

626
00:35:20,467 --> 00:35:24,867
Speaker 14: his previous fight, so underprepared. But look, take nothing away

627
00:35:24,867 --> 00:35:29,747
Speaker 14: from Joseph Parker. Bacoley is widely fed, he is twenty

628
00:35:29,787 --> 00:35:34,307
Speaker 14: one and one as a heavyweights. He is a real

629
00:35:34,867 --> 00:35:39,827
Speaker 14: rising star. And Parker has now cleaned out three of

630
00:35:39,867 --> 00:35:42,307
Speaker 14: the biggest punches in the heavyweight division in his last

631
00:35:42,347 --> 00:35:46,627
Speaker 14: three fights, Deontay Wilder, Zang at the Big Chinese Powerhouse,

632
00:35:47,027 --> 00:35:51,787
Speaker 14: and now Barton Becauley. So Parker said in the ring afterwards,

633
00:35:51,947 --> 00:35:52,987
Speaker 14: what more does he have to do?

634
00:35:53,147 --> 00:35:53,747
Speaker 9: Who's next?

635
00:35:53,787 --> 00:35:56,547
Speaker 14: He wants that title shot, whether it's Daniel Dubois or

636
00:35:57,227 --> 00:36:00,707
Speaker 14: Alexander Usik, and he's going to be incredibly hard to

637
00:36:00,747 --> 00:36:02,467
Speaker 14: deny that after this performance.

638
00:36:02,907 --> 00:36:05,107
Speaker 2: Is Dubois more likely given the fact that that was

639
00:36:05,107 --> 00:36:08,867
Speaker 2: the scheduled fight here in any way.

640
00:36:08,347 --> 00:36:13,587
Speaker 14: You would think so piney, But look, anything's possible the

641
00:36:13,587 --> 00:36:19,227
Speaker 14: heavyweight division. There's so much politics involved. A unification fight

642
00:36:19,307 --> 00:36:23,667
Speaker 14: between Daniel Dubois and ale Alexander Usik could take place,

643
00:36:23,707 --> 00:36:25,507
Speaker 14: and Parker may have to have another fights.

644
00:36:26,307 --> 00:36:27,067
Speaker 9: You just don't know.

645
00:36:27,667 --> 00:36:31,147
Speaker 14: Quite what happens with the mass nations behind the scenes

646
00:36:31,187 --> 00:36:34,547
Speaker 14: and who wants what. But that is a very desirable

647
00:36:34,587 --> 00:36:39,107
Speaker 14: fights from a promoter's perspective. But Parker deserves a shot.

648
00:36:39,427 --> 00:36:42,267
Speaker 14: He's resurrected his career in the last three years. He's

649
00:36:42,307 --> 00:36:45,627
Speaker 14: now won six fights in a row, four of those

650
00:36:45,747 --> 00:36:50,067
Speaker 14: here in Riad and this was a devastating performance.

651
00:36:50,107 --> 00:36:50,987
Speaker 9: He came in at his.

652
00:36:51,067 --> 00:36:56,067
Speaker 14: Career heaviest, six kg heavier than his previous heaviest, and

653
00:36:56,147 --> 00:36:58,747
Speaker 14: clearly that power had a massive effect because Bocoli is

654
00:36:58,787 --> 00:37:01,947
Speaker 14: a big man and it takes a massive shot to

655
00:37:02,067 --> 00:37:05,907
Speaker 14: flow him like Parker did. So he's made significant changes

656
00:37:05,947 --> 00:37:10,547
Speaker 14: to his team, his body composition, his style, and all

657
00:37:10,587 --> 00:37:11,587
Speaker 14: those things are paying off.

658
00:37:11,667 --> 00:37:13,987
Speaker 2: Now, all right, we wait to see what is next

659
00:37:13,987 --> 00:37:16,187
Speaker 2: for Joseph Parker. Just before your house.

660
00:37:16,227 --> 00:37:22,347
Speaker 14: The venue, it's an interesting party. I think the vibe

661
00:37:22,427 --> 00:37:24,987
Speaker 14: is certainly not the same from you know, the iconic

662
00:37:25,027 --> 00:37:28,667
Speaker 14: boxing venues around the world Madison Square, Guns, Las Vegas

663
00:37:29,067 --> 00:37:30,067
Speaker 14: or you know, Wembley.

664
00:37:30,747 --> 00:37:31,707
Speaker 3: It's quite small.

665
00:37:31,707 --> 00:37:35,787
Speaker 14: There's still quite a few empty seats. There's some traveling fans,

666
00:37:35,787 --> 00:37:37,867
Speaker 14: so there is a week bit of atmosphere, a bit

667
00:37:37,907 --> 00:37:42,827
Speaker 14: of music, but it certainly doesn't compare to the historic

668
00:37:42,907 --> 00:37:47,467
Speaker 14: boxing venues around the world. So while there's money in Saudi,

669
00:37:47,587 --> 00:37:49,467
Speaker 14: certainly a lot of it to get the best fighting

670
00:37:49,467 --> 00:37:53,707
Speaker 14: the best, the atmosphere probably doesn't compare to some of

671
00:37:53,707 --> 00:37:54,547
Speaker 14: those other places.

672
00:37:54,707 --> 00:37:56,947
Speaker 2: Good man, Liam, Thanks. I know you've got some media

673
00:37:57,187 --> 00:37:59,827
Speaker 2: commitments with the man himself, so we'll let you go.

674
00:38:00,027 --> 00:38:02,307
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us though with a rap of the fight.

675
00:38:02,627 --> 00:38:04,747
Speaker 2: Liam Napier from The New Zealand Herald read him at

676
00:38:04,787 --> 00:38:07,987
Speaker 2: enz herold dot co dot nz in Saudi Arabia to

677
00:38:08,067 --> 00:38:11,827
Speaker 2: watch a heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker making light work of

678
00:38:12,027 --> 00:38:15,947
Speaker 2: Martin Bacoli, knocking out the Congolese fighter in the second round.

679
00:38:16,027 --> 00:38:19,507
Speaker 2: In Riard Bacoley only stepped in at short notice, of course,

680
00:38:19,627 --> 00:38:23,587
Speaker 2: after Daniel Dubois pulled out. Ill took an overhand right

681
00:38:23,627 --> 00:38:25,187
Speaker 2: to the top of the head and then stumbled. It

682
00:38:25,267 --> 00:38:29,667
Speaker 2: was quite a bizarre thing to watch, actually, because at

683
00:38:29,667 --> 00:38:32,427
Speaker 2: first look I don't even see Parker land the punch,

684
00:38:32,507 --> 00:38:35,987
Speaker 2: the overhand right, and then all of a sudden Bacolie's

685
00:38:36,227 --> 00:38:38,347
Speaker 2: starting to wabble and then goes down. It was almost,

686
00:38:38,347 --> 00:38:40,347
Speaker 2: like I said to Leam there a bit of a

687
00:38:40,347 --> 00:38:44,787
Speaker 2: delayed reaction. But Joseph Parker a sixth win on the

688
00:38:44,827 --> 00:38:48,387
Speaker 2: bounce for him thirty six and three. He is who

689
00:38:48,427 --> 00:38:52,747
Speaker 2: knows what might be next for Kiwi. Joe Parker nine

Speaker 2: away from one News talks HEB we're back after this.

Speaker 2: bits of correspond and send some live sport before we

696
00:39:07,827 --> 00:39:10,227
Speaker 2: hit the one o'clock news, glencays Jason. What some people

697
00:39:10,267 --> 00:39:14,187
Speaker 2: don't seem to understand is that without Sky broadcast money,

698
00:39:14,187 --> 00:39:17,507
Speaker 2: professional cricket in New Zealand would largely disappear. Glenn, Yeah,

699
00:39:17,707 --> 00:39:19,987
Speaker 2: I think everybody understands it. I think we all know,

700
00:39:20,187 --> 00:39:22,827
Speaker 2: and it pains to point it out this hour, you know,

701
00:39:22,947 --> 00:39:24,627
Speaker 2: not that I really needed to. We all know how

702
00:39:24,707 --> 00:39:28,187
Speaker 2: important broadcast revenue is. It's the balancing act, isn't it

703
00:39:28,267 --> 00:39:33,067
Speaker 2: The balancing act that is largely unquantifiable inside a sporting organization,

704
00:39:33,667 --> 00:39:36,187
Speaker 2: wanting as many eyeballs as possible without giving up too

705
00:39:36,267 --> 00:39:40,107
Speaker 2: much your broadcast revenue, and it'll be an ongoing conundrum

706
00:39:40,147 --> 00:39:42,307
Speaker 2: for all sport in the years ahead. Thanks for your

777
00:44:06,947 --> 00:44:09,747
Speaker 2: just thanks for your time. The day after the game, Steve, actually,

778
00:44:09,787 --> 00:44:12,907
Speaker 2: can we start with the goal scorers because there was

779
00:44:12,987 --> 00:44:16,747
Speaker 2: a suggestion that Nad Armada Know's second goal in his

780
00:44:16,867 --> 00:44:20,907
Speaker 2: hat trick actually deflected in off Logan Rogerson, who also

781
00:44:21,387 --> 00:44:24,267
Speaker 2: got a couple of goals. So who was actually claiming

782
00:44:24,867 --> 00:44:25,427
Speaker 2: the hat trick?

783
00:44:26,307 --> 00:44:28,907
Speaker 15: Yeah, Logan is actually claiming it. It actually did hit

784
00:44:29,027 --> 00:44:32,787
Speaker 15: him on the way through, So Nada actually knows they

785
00:44:32,827 --> 00:44:35,387
Speaker 15: did as well, so he's sort of said is Logan's

786
00:44:35,387 --> 00:44:38,667
Speaker 15: hat trick? But like I said yesterday, for me, it

787
00:44:38,707 --> 00:44:41,147
Speaker 15: doesn't matter obviously who's scoring the goal as long as

788
00:44:41,627 --> 00:44:43,187
Speaker 15: as long as the goals are going in the back

789
00:44:43,227 --> 00:44:46,707
Speaker 15: and net. But either way, both of them had a

790
00:44:46,827 --> 00:44:51,227
Speaker 15: wonderful game. And yeah, I suppose I might fight over

791
00:44:51,267 --> 00:44:52,627
Speaker 15: a little bit next week.

792
00:44:52,547 --> 00:44:56,587
Speaker 2: Though it's a terrific performance from your side, Steve. You

793
00:44:56,667 --> 00:44:58,747
Speaker 2: must have woken up as a pretty happy coach today.

794
00:44:59,547 --> 00:44:59,747
Speaker 4: Yeah.

795
00:44:59,867 --> 00:45:02,947
Speaker 15: I thought they were outstanding in all aspects of the game.

796
00:45:03,267 --> 00:45:07,147
Speaker 15: You know, they really showed a great deal of desire

797
00:45:07,307 --> 00:45:09,467
Speaker 15: to win that and really to go on with the

798
00:45:09,547 --> 00:45:14,267
Speaker 15: game as well, and to continue continue scoring. That was

799
00:45:14,307 --> 00:45:16,707
Speaker 15: a good sign as well, you know, so obviously the

800
00:45:16,787 --> 00:45:20,147
Speaker 15: goals help. Obviously a little bit disappointed as well with

801
00:45:20,227 --> 00:45:23,467
Speaker 15: the goal we did conceide, but other than that, I

802
00:45:23,587 --> 00:45:26,667
Speaker 15: thought everything was pretty much a perfect day for us.

803
00:45:26,827 --> 00:45:28,747
Speaker 2: Yeah, Wellington actually started the game all right, it was

804
00:45:28,827 --> 00:45:31,347
Speaker 2: not all after half an hour. Were you always confident

805
00:45:31,387 --> 00:45:33,707
Speaker 2: though you'd break them down of course?

806
00:45:33,987 --> 00:45:36,547
Speaker 15: Yeah, but they do have obviously we spoke about it

807
00:45:36,627 --> 00:45:39,947
Speaker 15: before the game. They have a strong defense. They haven't

808
00:45:39,987 --> 00:45:43,307
Speaker 15: conceived a lot of goals so for us to obviously

809
00:45:43,467 --> 00:45:46,707
Speaker 15: put three pass them in the first half and then

810
00:45:46,787 --> 00:45:49,067
Speaker 15: went on with it in the second half was really pleasing.

811
00:45:49,187 --> 00:45:50,987
Speaker 17: But yeah, they started really well.

812
00:45:51,147 --> 00:45:53,547
Speaker 15: I think the first I would say ten minutes it

813
00:45:53,627 --> 00:45:55,547
Speaker 15: took us to get into the game, and I think

814
00:45:55,587 --> 00:45:58,147
Speaker 15: after halftime as well, we had a little bit of

815
00:45:58,187 --> 00:46:01,667
Speaker 15: a slow start, but I think after them two sort

816
00:46:01,667 --> 00:46:02,507
Speaker 15: of initial.

817
00:46:02,227 --> 00:46:04,827
Speaker 17: Periods, we really dominated the game and.

818
00:46:06,387 --> 00:46:09,987
Speaker 15: Continued working extremely hard to do what we did to them,

819
00:46:10,147 --> 00:46:12,507
Speaker 15: which was for me, it was a demolition.

820
00:46:13,147 --> 00:46:15,627
Speaker 2: Talk us through the period between minutes kind of thirty

821
00:46:15,667 --> 00:46:18,747
Speaker 2: one and forty when you scored three goals and basically

822
00:46:18,827 --> 00:46:20,067
Speaker 2: took the game away from the Phoenix.

823
00:46:21,067 --> 00:46:23,147
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's it happens sometimes.

824
00:46:23,267 --> 00:46:24,467
Speaker 15: You know, you get on a bit of a role,

825
00:46:24,507 --> 00:46:26,907
Speaker 15: you score one goal, and then you know, we were

826
00:46:26,947 --> 00:46:29,467
Speaker 15: getting good into very good areas. We're knocking some very

827
00:46:29,467 --> 00:46:31,027
Speaker 15: good balls into the box. We had a goal dis

828
00:46:31,067 --> 00:46:34,467
Speaker 15: allowed as well before that with the Maxi matter maybe push.

829
00:46:36,147 --> 00:46:39,547
Speaker 15: So yeah, it's just you know, we once we scored one,

830
00:46:40,107 --> 00:46:42,267
Speaker 15: as you can see, the belief and the players were

831
00:46:42,307 --> 00:46:45,747
Speaker 15: lifting and we're getting ourselves into very good positions to

832
00:46:45,787 --> 00:46:46,347
Speaker 15: win that game.

833
00:46:46,787 --> 00:46:49,347
Speaker 2: When you conceded, but then scored again to go four

834
00:46:49,467 --> 00:46:52,307
Speaker 2: one ahead. You know, the game's pretty much in the

835
00:46:52,347 --> 00:46:56,147
Speaker 2: bag at that stage. Do you have to consciously encourage

836
00:46:56,507 --> 00:46:58,387
Speaker 2: your guys to keep going or is that just within

837
00:46:58,467 --> 00:46:59,547
Speaker 2: the DNA at the moment.

838
00:47:00,907 --> 00:47:03,947
Speaker 15: We spoke about it a halftime. You know, I think

839
00:47:04,147 --> 00:47:07,787
Speaker 15: we had sort of this same thing last week against Western.

840
00:47:07,827 --> 00:47:09,707
Speaker 15: We were too nil up at halftime. We wanted to

841
00:47:09,787 --> 00:47:13,147
Speaker 15: go on and you know, win by more. We didn't

842
00:47:13,147 --> 00:47:14,787
Speaker 15: manage to do that last week, but we did keep

843
00:47:14,867 --> 00:47:18,547
Speaker 15: a clean sheets. Obviously tough conditioners last week, but the

844
00:47:18,587 --> 00:47:21,267
Speaker 15: message again was to keep going. You know, we want

845
00:47:21,307 --> 00:47:24,427
Speaker 15: to really give it to this team, and you know,

846
00:47:24,467 --> 00:47:27,987
Speaker 15: obviously the fourth goal. We made some changes as well,

847
00:47:28,027 --> 00:47:29,787
Speaker 15: which you know, a couple of players were on yellow

848
00:47:29,827 --> 00:47:32,307
Speaker 15: cars who wanted to just protect them for next week.

849
00:47:32,427 --> 00:47:35,427
Speaker 15: And the boys that come on also did really well,

850
00:47:35,467 --> 00:47:37,507
Speaker 15: and you know Jess, it's great for Jesse as well

851
00:47:37,587 --> 00:47:39,147
Speaker 15: to score his first goal for the club.

852
00:47:40,787 --> 00:47:42,867
Speaker 17: It was really pleasing to see everyone doing so well.

853
00:47:43,147 --> 00:47:45,867
Speaker 2: You resisted the temptation to tinker with your starting eleven,

854
00:47:45,907 --> 00:47:48,947
Speaker 2: even with one of your best players, Louis Vstrata, returning

855
00:47:49,027 --> 00:47:49,747
Speaker 2: from suspension.

856
00:47:49,907 --> 00:47:50,907
Speaker 17: You might be upset about that.

857
00:47:51,027 --> 00:47:53,867
Speaker 2: I wasn't well, not upset, and I was interested to

858
00:47:53,907 --> 00:47:56,027
Speaker 2: see the teams when it came out. You know, I'm

859
00:47:56,027 --> 00:47:58,267
Speaker 2: a big fan of Louis, but well we all are.

860
00:47:59,267 --> 00:47:59,427
Speaker 11: Well.

861
00:47:59,467 --> 00:48:01,347
Speaker 2: He now just have to wait for his chance to

862
00:48:01,347 --> 00:48:02,947
Speaker 2: start again, because I guess if you're not change a

863
00:48:02,987 --> 00:48:04,987
Speaker 2: team that wins two nil, you're not going to change

864
00:48:04,987 --> 00:48:06,027
Speaker 2: a team that wins six to one.

865
00:48:06,707 --> 00:48:06,907
Speaker 13: Yeah.

866
00:48:07,027 --> 00:48:10,027
Speaker 15: Well, you know, there's a week's a long time in football,

867
00:48:10,707 --> 00:48:13,227
Speaker 15: you know, make sure everyone pulls up all right and

868
00:48:13,627 --> 00:48:14,427
Speaker 15: trains really well.

869
00:48:14,827 --> 00:48:17,347
Speaker 17: Pleasing for me was his attitude when he come on.

870
00:48:17,587 --> 00:48:17,907
Speaker 15: Louis.

871
00:48:17,947 --> 00:48:19,027
Speaker 17: You know, he's a really good pro.

872
00:48:19,227 --> 00:48:21,547
Speaker 15: He was a great guy and you can see he's

873
00:48:21,627 --> 00:48:23,827
Speaker 15: desperate to win his spot back because he was excellent

874
00:48:23,867 --> 00:48:26,667
Speaker 15: when he come on as well as normal, breaking up play,

875
00:48:26,827 --> 00:48:30,667
Speaker 15: always starting things off for us, and he was doing

876
00:48:30,747 --> 00:48:32,427
Speaker 15: his job as normal, which was fantastic.

877
00:48:32,547 --> 00:48:34,147
Speaker 2: That's what you want as a coach, That wasn't it, Steve.

878
00:48:34,187 --> 00:48:36,387
Speaker 2: You know, you want every player whenever they get the opportunity,

879
00:48:36,467 --> 00:48:38,867
Speaker 2: but it you know, ninety minutes or nine minutes to

880
00:48:38,947 --> 00:48:40,747
Speaker 2: go on there and make your life difficult, right.

881
00:48:40,987 --> 00:48:43,467
Speaker 15: Yeah, definitely, you know we you know, we try and

882
00:48:43,547 --> 00:48:45,787
Speaker 15: bring that up that it's about attitude when you come

883
00:48:45,867 --> 00:48:48,867
Speaker 15: on and make a difference, and he did, and you know,

884
00:48:48,947 --> 00:48:52,267
Speaker 15: it's just good for the good for the team. You know,

885
00:48:52,427 --> 00:48:56,227
Speaker 15: it's competition of places, so keeping everyone on their toes.

886
00:48:56,227 --> 00:48:59,987
Speaker 15: Obviously with a player like Lewis on the bench, I guess,

887
00:49:00,267 --> 00:49:01,067
Speaker 15: I guess Wellington.

888
00:49:01,147 --> 00:49:03,867
Speaker 17: It's also good for the two other midfielders which had

889
00:49:04,307 --> 00:49:05,547
Speaker 17: very good games as well.

890
00:49:05,747 --> 00:49:09,227
Speaker 2: As indeed, what are you now? Eight points clear, nine

891
00:49:09,307 --> 00:49:12,627
Speaker 2: games to go? Adelaide have a game to play today. Yeah,

892
00:49:12,707 --> 00:49:15,147
Speaker 2: it's a game, but yeah it's almost yours to lose

893
00:49:15,187 --> 00:49:18,867
Speaker 2: now the minor premiership, Steve, does that change your mentality internally?

894
00:49:20,027 --> 00:49:23,107
Speaker 17: No, you know, like we're not even really thinking about

895
00:49:23,147 --> 00:49:23,707
Speaker 17: that at the moment.

896
00:49:23,747 --> 00:49:26,547
Speaker 15: Obviously, Yeah, it's great to have eight points clear, but

897
00:49:26,667 --> 00:49:28,627
Speaker 15: they've got a game if they if they win that today,

898
00:49:28,627 --> 00:49:31,067
Speaker 15: it's down to five. It's like two games. We have

899
00:49:31,187 --> 00:49:34,027
Speaker 15: to play them next week and it can happen. But

900
00:49:34,547 --> 00:49:37,507
Speaker 15: obviously if we can you know, beat them next week

901
00:49:37,667 --> 00:49:40,427
Speaker 15: or then you know, we will be sort of getting

902
00:49:40,507 --> 00:49:42,667
Speaker 15: away from him, which is obviously the plan for us

903
00:49:42,747 --> 00:49:45,947
Speaker 15: to just keep moving forward slowly, being consistent with our

904
00:49:46,027 --> 00:49:49,867
Speaker 15: performances and our results and try and break away as

905
00:49:49,947 --> 00:49:50,667
Speaker 15: much as possible.

906
00:49:51,187 --> 00:49:54,547
Speaker 2: You extended the contract of your skipper, Hierroarki Sakai this week.

907
00:49:54,907 --> 00:49:56,987
Speaker 2: How crucial a piece of business was that for you?

908
00:49:58,547 --> 00:50:02,627
Speaker 15: Everyone loves him, Hierroarchi obviously a fantastic guy, very humble

909
00:50:03,187 --> 00:50:06,107
Speaker 15: for where he's played and stuff like that, and are

910
00:50:06,107 --> 00:50:08,427
Speaker 15: really good leader for us and on the pitch as

911
00:50:08,467 --> 00:50:09,587
Speaker 15: well off the pitch.

912
00:50:11,547 --> 00:50:13,627
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think he's been our standing this year, and

913
00:50:14,587 --> 00:50:15,627
Speaker 17: obviously you.

914
00:50:15,627 --> 00:50:18,747
Speaker 15: Know, at that kind of age, you know he was

915
00:50:18,787 --> 00:50:20,947
Speaker 15: on a shorter term contract, but as you can see,

916
00:50:20,987 --> 00:50:23,667
Speaker 15: he's still moving very well and I'm sure he'll be

917
00:50:23,707 --> 00:50:25,547
Speaker 15: able to play for another two or three years still

918
00:50:25,627 --> 00:50:25,907
Speaker 15: to come.

919
00:50:26,507 --> 00:50:28,267
Speaker 2: You know the nature of the A leaguers that players

920
00:50:28,307 --> 00:50:32,027
Speaker 2: play here and often they move on to another club overseas.

921
00:50:33,507 --> 00:50:35,667
Speaker 2: How much interest has there been or do you expect

922
00:50:35,707 --> 00:50:39,507
Speaker 2: there will be in your players from overseas clubs given

923
00:50:39,507 --> 00:50:40,147
Speaker 2: the way you're playing.

924
00:50:41,387 --> 00:50:43,947
Speaker 15: I think you know, the better we do, obviously, the

925
00:50:44,107 --> 00:50:48,067
Speaker 15: more profile the players will pick up. Obviously we have

926
00:50:48,227 --> 00:50:51,267
Speaker 15: our own clubs as well in the groups, so that's

927
00:50:51,307 --> 00:50:54,147
Speaker 15: obviously a very positive thing as well for some players

928
00:50:54,227 --> 00:50:56,987
Speaker 15: if they can move into the to another club in

929
00:50:57,067 --> 00:50:59,467
Speaker 15: the group and want to move overseas, which is you know,

930
00:50:59,827 --> 00:51:03,027
Speaker 15: most young players dreams to play overseas and and to

931
00:51:03,147 --> 00:51:06,587
Speaker 15: do well over there and obviously make money as well,

932
00:51:06,627 --> 00:51:10,107
Speaker 15: which is a big factor in everything. But I think

933
00:51:11,427 --> 00:51:13,107
Speaker 15: now we haven't had a lot at the moment, but

934
00:51:14,267 --> 00:51:16,627
Speaker 15: you know we obviously first first season, we want to

935
00:51:16,667 --> 00:51:19,307
Speaker 15: keep this group together and try and do something special

936
00:51:19,387 --> 00:51:22,107
Speaker 15: and if we can do that then you know, you know,

937
00:51:22,187 --> 00:51:23,707
Speaker 15: there's going to be a lot of interest in the future.

938
00:51:23,747 --> 00:51:24,107
Speaker 17: I'm sure.

939
00:51:24,387 --> 00:51:26,627
Speaker 2: Can I just ask you specifically about Alex Paulson. We

940
00:51:26,747 --> 00:51:29,507
Speaker 2: know he's obviously with Bournemouth loaned back to Auckland FC.

941
00:51:30,187 --> 00:51:31,627
Speaker 2: Do you expect that a little bit just be the

942
00:51:31,667 --> 00:51:33,467
Speaker 2: one season that you have Alex with you?

943
00:51:34,627 --> 00:51:37,307
Speaker 15: I think so you know that it was the plan

944
00:51:37,427 --> 00:51:39,347
Speaker 15: only for one year, you know, I'm sure Alex wants

945
00:51:39,427 --> 00:51:41,907
Speaker 15: to you know, if he's not gone to Bournemouth next year,

946
00:51:41,947 --> 00:51:44,227
Speaker 15: he will be probably loaned out to another club.

947
00:51:44,827 --> 00:51:47,067
Speaker 17: But I think he you know, for him as well,

948
00:51:47,187 --> 00:51:47,747
Speaker 17: to improve.

949
00:51:47,867 --> 00:51:50,267
Speaker 15: I think he's had obviously a fantastic year last year

950
00:51:50,307 --> 00:51:53,427
Speaker 15: with Wellington. He's on the right track again this year

951
00:51:53,547 --> 00:51:56,987
Speaker 15: to have a very good season as well. So you know,

952
00:51:57,107 --> 00:51:59,507
Speaker 15: our understanding was only one year, but I suppose you

953
00:51:59,587 --> 00:52:01,707
Speaker 15: never know what's going to happen, Steve.

954
00:52:01,827 --> 00:52:04,467
Speaker 2: All anyone is talking about in football circles today is

955
00:52:04,827 --> 00:52:07,347
Speaker 2: your team, your players. They won't be able to avoid

956
00:52:07,427 --> 00:52:10,227
Speaker 2: the hype around them. I'm sure they. You know, they

957
00:52:10,267 --> 00:52:12,507
Speaker 2: can say, look, i'll stay off social media, but you

958
00:52:12,547 --> 00:52:14,507
Speaker 2: always want to have a bit of a look. How

959
00:52:14,547 --> 00:52:15,667
Speaker 2: are you going to keep course? How are you going

960
00:52:15,747 --> 00:52:16,427
Speaker 2: to keep them grounded?

961
00:52:17,467 --> 00:52:19,227
Speaker 17: Yeah, we'll bring them back down to earth next week.

962
00:52:19,267 --> 00:52:20,347
Speaker 10: We're all, you know out.

963
00:52:20,507 --> 00:52:22,627
Speaker 15: You know, I had a little drink last night, I

964
00:52:22,667 --> 00:52:26,107
Speaker 15: suppose with our staff or what I did anyway, just

965
00:52:26,187 --> 00:52:28,867
Speaker 15: at a restaurants, so I'm sure they were celebrating as well,

966
00:52:28,947 --> 00:52:33,067
Speaker 15: with their families or whoever. But yeah, it is tough

967
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:35,587
Speaker 15: sometimes after you have a very high scorer and wind

968
00:52:35,747 --> 00:52:37,987
Speaker 15: like that to sort of bring them back down. But

969
00:52:38,267 --> 00:52:40,347
Speaker 15: you know, I think they're a good bunch of boys.

970
00:52:41,387 --> 00:52:43,227
Speaker 15: I think they're fully focused on what we what we

971
00:52:43,347 --> 00:52:46,347
Speaker 15: want to achieve this year, and yeah, I think you

972
00:52:46,427 --> 00:52:49,347
Speaker 15: know the massive game that is coming up, I think

973
00:52:49,387 --> 00:52:51,427
Speaker 15: it won't be that hard to bring them back down.

974
00:52:52,027 --> 00:52:54,907
Speaker 2: You must be enjoying your walks around Auckland's Viaduct right

975
00:52:54,987 --> 00:52:57,027
Speaker 2: now mate, getting people offering you to buy often to

976
00:52:57,027 --> 00:52:58,267
Speaker 2: buy a coffee or a beer for you.

977
00:52:58,827 --> 00:53:02,107
Speaker 15: I am out at the moment just under the breede

978
00:53:02,187 --> 00:53:05,507
Speaker 15: actually a Boyd cafe. So it's it's very nice morning

979
00:53:05,587 --> 00:53:06,067
Speaker 15: this morning.

980
00:53:06,467 --> 00:53:07,147
Speaker 10: Well you deserve it.

981
00:53:07,187 --> 00:53:09,787
Speaker 2: Steve, congratulations on a terrific performance yesterday. All the best

982
00:53:09,787 --> 00:53:11,267
Speaker 2: stuff for the week ahead and can't wait to see

983
00:53:11,307 --> 00:53:12,827
Speaker 2: how it goes against Adelaide next weekend.

984
00:53:13,427 --> 00:53:15,307
Speaker 17: Jess Biney, Thanks Ane, no, thank you for joining U.

985
00:53:15,307 --> 00:53:20,867
Speaker 2: Steve. Steve Crocker there, head coach of Auckland FC. They

986
00:53:20,907 --> 00:53:23,467
Speaker 2: can't possibly have imagined that it would go this well,

987
00:53:23,587 --> 00:53:26,467
Speaker 2: are your chance to react to what you heard there

988
00:53:26,467 --> 00:53:28,947
Speaker 2: from Steve Coriker and what you saw yesterday at go

989
00:53:29,147 --> 00:53:32,987
Speaker 2: Media Twenty seven thousand plus turning out there yesterday, another

990
00:53:33,067 --> 00:53:35,107
Speaker 2: record crowd. We'll talk about that in a minute. Oh

991
00:53:35,147 --> 00:53:38,827
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. On the football itself,

992
00:53:40,067 --> 00:53:41,987
Speaker 2: Auckland FC could go on and win the whole thing

993
00:53:42,347 --> 00:53:45,707
Speaker 2: in their first season, they really could. Just to explain

994
00:53:45,747 --> 00:53:48,027
Speaker 2: to you how the A League works, there's the regular season,

995
00:53:48,067 --> 00:53:51,467
Speaker 2: which is twenty seven games, and then beyond that there's

996
00:53:51,587 --> 00:53:55,307
Speaker 2: the top six who go into the finals series. If

997
00:53:55,347 --> 00:53:58,267
Speaker 2: you're finish in the top two, you go directly into

998
00:53:58,307 --> 00:54:01,347
Speaker 2: the semi finals. The teams have finished three, four, five

999
00:54:01,427 --> 00:54:04,427
Speaker 2: and six play knockout matches in the first week of finals.

1000
00:54:04,787 --> 00:54:09,987
Speaker 2: Look Auckland FC look odds on now to win the

1001
00:54:10,067 --> 00:54:13,347
Speaker 2: minor Premiership, which has a piece of silverware for it,

1002
00:54:13,787 --> 00:54:17,147
Speaker 2: but also to gain a buy if you like, into

1003
00:54:17,147 --> 00:54:20,947
Speaker 2: the semifinals now. The way the semifinals work is home

1004
00:54:20,987 --> 00:54:24,067
Speaker 2: and away, So whoever comes through from the three, four, five,

1005
00:54:24,227 --> 00:54:28,147
Speaker 2: six one off sudden death matches comes up against the

1006
00:54:28,187 --> 00:54:30,547
Speaker 2: two teams who finished first and second, and those are

1007
00:54:30,667 --> 00:54:34,387
Speaker 2: home and away ties. That's where the Phoenix got knocked

1008
00:54:34,427 --> 00:54:37,667
Speaker 2: out last year, you might remember by Melbourne victory in

1009
00:54:37,707 --> 00:54:42,907
Speaker 2: the home and away semis and then you go through

1010
00:54:42,987 --> 00:54:47,427
Speaker 2: to a one off grand final. Auckland FC could win that.

1011
00:54:48,667 --> 00:54:52,227
Speaker 2: They are odds on now to win the Minor Premiership.

1012
00:54:52,227 --> 00:54:54,627
Speaker 2: They're eight points clear, nine games to go. They play

1013
00:54:54,667 --> 00:54:57,867
Speaker 2: adelaide As I say next week, who are their closest challenges?

1014
00:54:58,307 --> 00:55:01,187
Speaker 2: Win that and you really do put a gap between

1015
00:55:01,227 --> 00:55:05,987
Speaker 2: yourselves and the rest. They're playing with huge belief, huge

1016
00:55:06,067 --> 00:55:09,227
Speaker 2: calm confidence. Everybody on that perch in a blue and

1017
00:55:09,267 --> 00:55:11,907
Speaker 2: black shirt. Yesterday had a good game. It was as

1018
00:55:11,907 --> 00:55:13,827
Speaker 2: simple as that, and that's often the way when you

1019
00:55:13,947 --> 00:55:18,227
Speaker 2: win by a score line like that. Just on the crowd.

1020
00:55:18,387 --> 00:55:20,947
Speaker 2: The way that the club has engaged their fan base

1021
00:55:21,707 --> 00:55:28,107
Speaker 2: is utterly remarkable. It's absolutely brilliant. At go Media Stadium

1022
00:55:28,147 --> 00:55:32,067
Speaker 2: on match day, hottest ticket in town. If you were

1023
00:55:32,107 --> 00:55:34,107
Speaker 2: there yesterday, I'd be very very keen to hear from you,

1024
00:55:34,747 --> 00:55:37,427
Speaker 2: particularly if you went along for the first time, because

1025
00:55:37,467 --> 00:55:39,747
Speaker 2: I think you know we've had big crowds there. This

1026
00:55:39,947 --> 00:55:42,827
Speaker 2: was the third sellout, but other games have sort of

1027
00:55:42,867 --> 00:55:45,547
Speaker 2: been I was going to say, only have been thirteen, fourteen,

1028
00:55:45,627 --> 00:55:48,987
Speaker 2: fifteen thousand. That's still a very good crowd. But what

1029
00:55:50,387 --> 00:55:52,947
Speaker 2: are you seeing, what are you feeling, What are the

1030
00:55:52,987 --> 00:55:56,147
Speaker 2: emotions you have when you're there? And actually I'd quite

1031
00:55:56,227 --> 00:55:57,587
Speaker 2: like to talk to you about the football as well,

1032
00:55:57,627 --> 00:56:00,867
Speaker 2: because they are playing very very well at the other

1033
00:56:01,107 --> 00:56:07,427
Speaker 2: end of the emotional scale. A very tough afternoon for

1034
00:56:07,547 --> 00:56:09,787
Speaker 2: fans of the Wellington Phoenix. I'm not quite sure what's

1035
00:56:09,827 --> 00:56:14,507
Speaker 2: happened to Wellington Phoenix after the highs of last year

1036
00:56:15,107 --> 00:56:17,187
Speaker 2: where they finished in the top two, highest of a

1037
00:56:17,227 --> 00:56:20,747
Speaker 2: regular season finish, deepest they've ever gone into the playoffs,

1038
00:56:20,787 --> 00:56:25,147
Speaker 2: one game away from the Grand Final. Yesterday was just

1039
00:56:25,507 --> 00:56:28,907
Speaker 2: a real low point. Yes, they've lost a number of players,

1040
00:56:29,147 --> 00:56:33,147
Speaker 2: key players from last year Alex Paulsen, Ben Old, big Loss,

1041
00:56:33,507 --> 00:56:37,187
Speaker 2: Bojidar Krayev, Finn Sermon, Oscarsavada and a couple of others,

1042
00:56:37,267 --> 00:56:41,787
Speaker 2: and that quality just hasn't been replaced. And there's been

1043
00:56:41,787 --> 00:56:45,747
Speaker 2: a huge reliance on academy players making the step up

1044
00:56:45,787 --> 00:56:48,347
Speaker 2: and that step has proven to be too big for

1045
00:56:48,467 --> 00:56:51,787
Speaker 2: some of them. So if you're a Phoenix fan, your

1046
00:56:51,867 --> 00:56:54,867
Speaker 2: thoughts are welcome as well our eight hundred and eighty

1047

1057
00:57:25,667 --> 00:57:27,987
Speaker 2: One twenty six on news talks, there'd be Allen asks

1058
00:57:28,027 --> 00:57:30,627
Speaker 2: on Tex Pinty. Do Auckland FC qualify for any Asian

1059
00:57:30,707 --> 00:57:32,827
Speaker 2: competitions if they win one of the two trophies?

1060
00:57:33,067 --> 00:57:33,307
Speaker 12: Ellen?

1061
00:57:33,427 --> 00:57:36,307
Speaker 2: Unfortunately they don't. That's one of the oddities of New

1062
00:57:36,387 --> 00:57:39,627
Speaker 2: Zealand sides playing in the Australian competition and the fact

1063
00:57:39,667 --> 00:57:43,627
Speaker 2: that Australia exists inside the Asian Confederation while New Zealand

1064
00:57:43,707 --> 00:57:47,907
Speaker 2: exists inside the Oceania Confederation. Therefore, if Auckland f C

1065
00:57:48,067 --> 00:57:51,107
Speaker 2: or the Wellington Phoenix for that matter, were to qualify

1066
00:57:51,267 --> 00:57:54,427
Speaker 2: for the Asian club competitions, which happens if you finish

1067
00:57:54,747 --> 00:57:56,467
Speaker 2: near the top or win the Grand Final or whatever

1068
00:57:56,507 --> 00:57:59,627
Speaker 2: it is, New Zealand, the New Zealand sides aren't eligible.

1069
00:57:59,707 --> 00:58:02,827
Speaker 2: So now was the answer. Aukland FC don't get any

1070
00:58:02,907 --> 00:58:07,707
Speaker 2: Asian Champions League or Asian competition if they do finish top.

1071
00:58:07,787 --> 00:58:09,907

00:58:33,187 --> 00:58:35,147
Speaker 6: by me. There was quite a few of the film

1085
00:58:35,187 --> 00:58:37,307
Speaker 6: of Foxes that seed the tickets and I tried to

1086
00:58:37,867 --> 00:58:41,507
Speaker 6: emotionally guilt for them to give their some seat away

1087
00:58:41,547 --> 00:58:43,107
Speaker 6: from me, but they weren't having any of it. I

1088
00:58:43,187 --> 00:58:45,587
Speaker 6: wanted it on the I watched it like a bloody

1089
00:58:45,627 --> 00:58:47,627
Speaker 6: Miles absolutely well.

1090
00:58:47,787 --> 00:58:51,427
Speaker 2: I mean you're you're in the Auckland region, so I

1091
00:58:51,987 --> 00:58:53,787
Speaker 2: obviously I am based on Wellington, but whenever I come

1092
00:58:53,827 --> 00:58:56,387
Speaker 2: to Orkland for these games, just I mean, there's one

1093
00:58:56,467 --> 00:59:00,227
Speaker 2: demonstration term the number of blue and black replica shirts

1094
00:59:00,227 --> 00:59:04,707
Speaker 2: they've sold, twenty two thousand of those shirts. That's incredible,

1095
00:59:05,587 --> 00:59:05,827
Speaker 2: it is.

1096
00:59:06,187 --> 00:59:09,507
Speaker 16: I went to the previous AFC Phoenix, you know.

1097
00:59:09,547 --> 00:59:13,507
Speaker 6: That, the first Auckland hell Darby, and that I was

1098
00:59:13,747 --> 00:59:15,787
Speaker 6: absolutely good going on. There was twenty four thousand flown

1099
00:59:15,787 --> 00:59:18,027
Speaker 6: away in the atmosphere, I said to and it was

1100
00:59:18,267 --> 00:59:20,987
Speaker 6: just like being in the League one, League two sort

1101
00:59:20,987 --> 00:59:24,747
Speaker 6: of UK buzz. The crowd was outstanding. The port singing

1102
00:59:24,867 --> 00:59:26,947
Speaker 6: is great. A little thing that happened that last game

1103
00:59:27,187 --> 00:59:30,147
Speaker 6: I don't know about yesterday, was obviously the eightieth minute

1104
00:59:30,187 --> 00:59:32,267
Speaker 6: the Phoenix take on the top off and swell around

1105
00:59:32,307 --> 00:59:34,667
Speaker 6: their heads and obviously AFC were winning at that stage

1106
00:59:34,667 --> 00:59:36,307
Speaker 6: and they did it back to the they did it

1107
00:59:36,387 --> 00:59:38,707
Speaker 6: back to the Phoenix FANID that was very funny at

1108
00:59:38,747 --> 00:59:43,507
Speaker 6: the chanting, and yeah, it's brilliant. It's fans, brilliant for football,

1109
00:59:43,547 --> 00:59:46,707
Speaker 6: brilliant for New Zealand and AFC come on, really good.

1110
00:59:47,387 --> 00:59:47,707
Speaker 10: I love it.

1111
00:59:47,867 --> 00:59:49,627
Speaker 2: They didn't take the shirts off at any minutes. They

1112
00:59:49,667 --> 00:59:51,587
Speaker 2: were I think five one ahead at that stage, but no,

1113
00:59:51,707 --> 00:59:53,627
Speaker 2: they didn't take the shirts off.

1114
00:59:53,667 --> 00:59:53,867
Speaker 18: They do.

1115
00:59:54,107 --> 00:59:56,107
Speaker 2: I mean they're they're very clever already.

1116
00:59:56,787 --> 00:59:56,947
Speaker 1: You know.

1117
00:59:57,107 --> 00:59:59,627
Speaker 2: Well when I say clever, a couple of examples. You know,

1118
00:59:59,667 --> 01:00:01,307
Speaker 2: when they were five one ahead late in the game

1119
01:00:01,347 --> 01:00:04,387
Speaker 2: of the chanting, we want six, you know, five to

1120
01:00:04,387 --> 01:00:06,867
Speaker 2: one clearly not enough. Another side, you know, I saw

1121
01:00:06,907 --> 01:00:12,027
Speaker 2: in the crowd like yesterday, was targeting Wellington Phoenix cipper

1122
01:00:12,067 --> 01:00:14,747
Speaker 2: Alex Rufer and said, Rufer likes Nickelbeck.

1123
01:00:17,027 --> 01:00:20,067
Speaker 6: I was c Yeah, very good, very good.

1124
01:00:20,067 --> 01:00:20,627
Speaker 16: I thought that too.

1125
01:00:20,627 --> 01:00:22,627
Speaker 6: It was fun it. I'm surprised he didn't come onto

1126
01:00:22,667 --> 01:00:24,787
Speaker 6: the second half because he's a he's a class player.

1127
01:00:24,827 --> 01:00:25,507
Speaker 10: You can see he's good.

1128
01:00:25,547 --> 01:00:29,107
Speaker 6: But yeah, but they were. They were outstanding. They dominated

1129
01:00:29,147 --> 01:00:29,667
Speaker 6: that whole.

1130
01:00:29,507 --> 01:00:30,587
Speaker 16: Game for the first five minutes.

1131
01:00:30,587 --> 01:00:32,347
Speaker 6: It was a bit of phoenix went out that all

1132
01:00:32,427 --> 01:00:35,707
Speaker 6: AfD was back. And yeah, they were very very got

1133
01:00:35,747 --> 01:00:36,547
Speaker 6: that AfD.

1134
01:00:36,507 --> 01:00:39,107
Speaker 16: Very very good players and I just hope they can

1135
01:00:39,187 --> 01:00:39,787
Speaker 16: run away with it.

1136
01:00:40,187 --> 01:00:42,747
Speaker 6: Next week will be yeah, Lex will give it important

1137
01:00:42,787 --> 01:00:46,707
Speaker 6: playing number two. But Piney, I've heard a couple of

1138
01:00:46,747 --> 01:00:49,587
Speaker 6: other commentaries, and I'm obviously watching COM's games live and

1139
01:00:49,707 --> 01:00:53,507
Speaker 6: I think your co commentator he dropped in Carla Grieflies.

1140
01:00:53,507 --> 01:00:55,707
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure I was that not yesterday, but previous

1141
01:00:55,787 --> 01:00:59,627
Speaker 6: game is that rising. Did he mention your infamous Wellington team.

1142
01:00:59,747 --> 01:01:01,907
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've told him not to do that, Jacob Spoonley,

1143
01:01:01,947 --> 01:01:04,067
Speaker 2: but he doesn't pay any attention to me, not just

1144
01:01:04,187 --> 01:01:06,867
Speaker 2: on there, but on anything really. Uh yeah, no, he

1145
01:01:07,187 --> 01:01:10,467
Speaker 2: has mentioned that he's he's obviously missed the memo that

1146
01:01:10,987 --> 01:01:14,267
Speaker 2: that I'm now retired from said Tarbar Grizzlies. In fact,

1147
01:01:14,267 --> 01:01:16,027
Speaker 2: I don't even know if the team still exists. I

1148
01:01:16,107 --> 01:01:18,427
Speaker 2: think we're all but older now. The Silver Foxes. Clearly

1149
01:01:18,787 --> 01:01:20,987
Speaker 2: your team have carried on. Are you looking forward to

1150
01:01:21,507 --> 01:01:22,267
Speaker 2: the new season?

1151
01:01:23,467 --> 01:01:27,867
Speaker 6: Don't wait the old but I cannot wait at the

1152
01:01:28,027 --> 01:01:33,187
Speaker 6: dressing room pre match tunes and its antipam and VP

1153
01:01:33,507 --> 01:01:38,707
Speaker 6: and old man playing and showers of beers off his house. Yeah,

1154
01:01:38,787 --> 01:01:41,187
Speaker 6: I'm very excited to tell a Foxes that we're still

1155
01:01:41,267 --> 01:01:43,147
Speaker 6: living on somewhere piney.

1156
01:01:43,187 --> 01:01:43,787
Speaker 10: We're still doing it.

1157
01:01:43,827 --> 01:01:46,187
Speaker 6: But as well, maybe I'll get to mention the pox

1158
01:01:46,627 --> 01:01:48,627
Speaker 6: and then you give a kick or something.

1159
01:01:48,707 --> 01:01:50,387
Speaker 2: Well, maybe you could. You could get in touch with

1160
01:01:50,467 --> 01:01:52,467
Speaker 2: Jacob Spoonley and get I mean, he's he's he's a

1161
01:01:52,627 --> 01:01:54,267
Speaker 2: he's a pretty I mean you could. He's a pretty

1162
01:01:54,267 --> 01:01:56,747
Speaker 2: easy guy to bribe. Oh no, I don't say bribe

1163
01:01:56,787 --> 01:02:00,947
Speaker 2: to incentivize. Who knows what he might save you if

1164
01:02:00,987 --> 01:02:02,987
Speaker 2: you cross his palm with silver or a beer or

1165
01:02:03,027 --> 01:02:05,307
Speaker 2: something like that. Great to chat to, All the best

1166
01:02:05,387 --> 01:02:07,787
Speaker 2: for the season ahead with with your master's football team.

1167
01:02:07,827 --> 01:02:10,267
Speaker 2: No doubt we'll chat again soon, Peter says. On top

1168
01:02:10,307 --> 01:02:13,067
Speaker 2: of losing the players you talked about since Christmas, they've

1169
01:02:13,147 --> 01:02:16,387
Speaker 2: not had Tim Payne, Alex Rufer and Marco Rojas, which,

1170
01:02:16,387 --> 01:02:19,067
Speaker 2: added to the others, is in effect a whole new team.

1171
01:02:19,227 --> 01:02:22,267
Speaker 2: You're right, Peter, they've been unlucky with injuries as well.

1172
01:02:22,307 --> 01:02:25,467
Speaker 2: But they are affective life, aren't they. They're effective life.

1173
01:02:25,627 --> 01:02:28,387
Speaker 2: You look at Auckland FC, Dan Hall, who was there,

1174
01:02:28,587 --> 01:02:30,267
Speaker 2: you know, one of their main stays in the first

1175
01:02:30,307 --> 01:02:33,667
Speaker 2: five or six games at center back broken ankle, hasn't

1176
01:02:33,707 --> 01:02:37,267
Speaker 2: been there since early December, but they've carried on Cam

1177
01:02:37,387 --> 01:02:40,387
Speaker 2: Howison was out for a while. Injury is just a

1178
01:02:40,467 --> 01:02:42,867
Speaker 2: fact of life. Hirochi sarchives missed a couple of games,

1179
01:02:43,867 --> 01:02:46,467
Speaker 2: so it's something that all football teams have to deal with,

1180
01:02:46,507 --> 01:02:48,387
Speaker 2: and it speaks of it to the depth of the

1181
01:02:48,507 --> 01:02:50,387
Speaker 2: team when even when I was talking to Steve Coriker,

1182
01:02:50,467 --> 01:02:54,987
Speaker 2: then Louis Vastrata, who's been, in my opinion, their best player,

1183
01:02:55,747 --> 01:02:59,107
Speaker 2: was suspended last week so therefore couldn't play back into

1184
01:02:59,147 --> 01:03:01,747
Speaker 2: contention yesterday, but wasn't put back into the starting eleven.

1185
01:03:03,187 --> 01:03:05,067
Speaker 2: And as I said to Steve Kyriker, if you're not

1186
01:03:05,107 --> 01:03:08,347
Speaker 2: bringing him back changing a winning team after winning two nil,

1187
01:03:08,667 --> 01:03:10,827
Speaker 2: you're not changing a winning team after winning six to one.

1188
01:03:12,067 --> 01:03:14,147
Speaker 2: But at some stage I think Louis us Strata becomes

1189
01:03:14,307 --> 01:03:17,027
Speaker 2: an irresistible proposition. He's such a good player anyway, thank

1190
01:03:17,027 --> 01:03:19,427
Speaker 2: you for all your causing correspondence on the football. I

1191
01:03:19,587 --> 01:03:22,307
Speaker 2: just want to move briefly to basketball because the Toll

1192
01:03:22,347 --> 01:03:25,787
Speaker 2: Blacks have started the third window of the Asia Cup

1193
01:03:26,187 --> 01:03:31,627
Speaker 2: basketball qualifiers by dismantling their hosts Hong Kong ninety two

1194
01:03:31,627 --> 01:03:32,267
Speaker 2: to fifty one.

1195
01:03:32,627 --> 01:03:35,147
Speaker 6: Stops inside when yd goes up, throws it down for.

1196
01:03:36,747 --> 01:03:38,947
Speaker 2: With some neat Will's passion.

1197
01:03:39,387 --> 01:03:42,347
Speaker 15: That is a professional performance by New Zealand.

1198
01:03:42,707 --> 01:03:45,747
Speaker 1: They shut the ball incredibly well at times, but defensively

1199
01:03:46,227 --> 01:03:49,227
Speaker 1: exceptional imposed themselves on Hong Kong.

1200
01:03:49,307 --> 01:03:51,907
Speaker 2: Shina. Yeah, ninety two to fifty one. Jordan Natai top

1201
01:03:51,947 --> 01:03:54,227
Speaker 2: scoring for New Zealand with twenty points. So New Zealander

1202
01:03:54,267 --> 01:03:57,347
Speaker 2: back home now. They play the Philippines this afternoon at

1203
01:03:57,347 --> 01:04:00,427
Speaker 2: Spark Arena in Auckland, three o'clock tip off. Both sides

1204
01:04:00,467 --> 01:04:04,187
Speaker 2: have won four and lost one of their matches and

1205
01:04:04,227 --> 01:04:07,187
Speaker 2: their campaigns. They sit together on nine points to all.

1206
01:04:07,227 --> 01:04:10,427
Speaker 2: Blacks Assistant coach Michael Fitchett joins ashead of this game.

1207
01:04:10,507 --> 01:04:12,147
Speaker 2: First of all, Michael, how happy were you and the

1208
01:04:12,507 --> 01:04:14,627
Speaker 2: coaching staff with what played out in Hong Kong?

1209
01:04:15,547 --> 01:04:15,747
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1210
01:04:16,547 --> 01:04:18,467
Speaker 5: Pretty happy, you know, to go and go away and

1211
01:04:18,547 --> 01:04:20,747
Speaker 5: get a road win. By forty odd points as all

1212
01:04:20,747 --> 01:04:25,347
Speaker 5: I satisfying, but we had a bit of a shaky

1213
01:04:25,387 --> 01:04:29,187
Speaker 5: start defensively. We went really on the ball, so we

1214
01:04:29,307 --> 01:04:31,267
Speaker 5: did have some feedback to give to the guys, which

1215
01:04:31,307 --> 01:04:33,067
Speaker 5: is always nice. After a forty point one to two.

1216
01:04:33,307 --> 01:04:37,187
Speaker 2: Absolutely well. The defensive side of things looks on paper

1217
01:04:37,227 --> 01:04:40,907
Speaker 2: anyway pretty good twenty four turnovers forced. But was it

1218
01:04:41,027 --> 01:04:43,867
Speaker 2: something that the team grew into across the game the

1219
01:04:43,907 --> 01:04:45,867
Speaker 2: defensive performance.

1220
01:04:46,147 --> 01:04:48,867
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely. We gave up twenty one points in the

1221
01:04:48,907 --> 01:04:51,867
Speaker 5: first quarter, which for us to give up to a

1222
01:04:51,907 --> 01:04:54,987
Speaker 5: team like Hong Kong as too many. But we really

1223
01:04:55,027 --> 01:04:57,627
Speaker 5: tightened the screws in the second, third, and fourth quarters.

1224
01:04:57,707 --> 01:05:01,347
Speaker 5: So we're happy with the response. Just the start. If

1225
01:05:01,387 --> 01:05:03,987
Speaker 5: we do that against the Philippines will be and we'll

1226
01:05:03,987 --> 01:05:05,107
Speaker 5: be in a bit of strife early on.

1227
01:05:05,507 --> 01:05:08,347
Speaker 2: What about in and offensive scenes? Did you achieve what

1228
01:05:08,427 --> 01:05:08,907
Speaker 2: you wanted to?

1229
01:05:10,267 --> 01:05:10,587
Speaker 11: We did?

1230
01:05:10,827 --> 01:05:12,427
Speaker 5: We did with the sort of the focus of the

1231
01:05:12,507 --> 01:05:15,747
Speaker 5: three days or the three practices over two days leading

1232
01:05:15,827 --> 01:05:17,347
Speaker 5: into the game. When once we got up to Hong

1233
01:05:17,427 --> 01:05:20,067
Speaker 5: Kong was really more about the offensive side of the ball,

1234
01:05:20,107 --> 01:05:21,987
Speaker 5: and the guys were really good. We kept it simple,

1235
01:05:23,267 --> 01:05:25,787
Speaker 5: We shot the ball really well, obviously Jordan Natai six

1236
01:05:26,347 --> 01:05:29,427
Speaker 5: from seven from three, but we did a good job

1237
01:05:29,467 --> 01:05:31,187
Speaker 5: getting to the room as well, and Taylor Brett really

1238
01:05:31,267 --> 01:05:33,347
Speaker 5: ran the show for us. So we're offensive side of

1239
01:05:33,387 --> 01:05:35,187
Speaker 5: the ball were pretty you know, a lot of a

1240
01:05:35,227 --> 01:05:36,107
Speaker 5: lot of positives there.

1241
01:05:36,307 --> 01:05:38,427
Speaker 2: So Box has ticked against Hong Kong. You mentioned the

1242
01:05:38,467 --> 01:05:41,387
Speaker 2: Philippines there, What what do you expect from them and

1243
01:05:41,507 --> 01:05:43,947
Speaker 2: how how much bigger of a challenge are they going

1244
01:05:44,027 --> 01:05:44,187
Speaker 2: to be?

1245
01:05:45,387 --> 01:05:48,027
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's a different kettle of fish, different standard

1246
01:05:48,067 --> 01:05:52,587
Speaker 5: of opposition for sure. We lost them in November. And

1247
01:05:53,867 --> 01:05:56,707
Speaker 5: their style of players super physical. They've got a couple

1248
01:05:56,707 --> 01:05:59,587
Speaker 5: of really big, big bodies in there and even their

1249
01:05:59,667 --> 01:06:04,107
Speaker 5: guards very very physical players really crash, crashed the boards

1250
01:06:04,147 --> 01:06:07,827
Speaker 5: and looked for those rebounds. So we put ourselves on

1251
01:06:07,907 --> 01:06:10,507
Speaker 5: physicality and we got this isn't a word, but we

1252
01:06:10,627 --> 01:06:14,387
Speaker 5: got out physical in November. So we'll be looking to

1253
01:06:14,467 --> 01:06:17,627
Speaker 5: turn that one around first and foremost. But then they've

1254
01:06:17,667 --> 01:06:22,387
Speaker 5: got a very talented naturalized player justin Brownlee. He had

1255
01:06:22,427 --> 01:06:24,787
Speaker 5: thirty nine points against Chinese Taipei last night.

1256
01:06:24,787 --> 01:06:24,867
Speaker 6: So.

1257
01:06:26,347 --> 01:06:29,027
Speaker 5: Slowing him down is going to be another another major

1258
01:06:29,107 --> 01:06:29,667
Speaker 5: factor for us.

1259
01:06:30,187 --> 01:06:32,187
Speaker 2: I'm going to add that word to the vocabulary our

1260
01:06:32,267 --> 01:06:32,787
Speaker 2: physical lord.

1261
01:06:32,827 --> 01:06:33,307
Speaker 6: I think we can.

1262
01:06:33,427 --> 01:06:35,067
Speaker 2: I think I think we can. Make it a word.

1263
01:06:35,067 --> 01:06:36,947
Speaker 2: I've got no problem with that. I know exactly what

1264
01:06:37,067 --> 01:06:40,707
Speaker 2: you mean. You've already qualified for the Asian Cup, of course,

1265
01:06:40,747 --> 01:06:43,147
Speaker 2: so is the goal to finish top of the pool

1266
01:06:43,227 --> 01:06:44,947
Speaker 2: to get a better seating at the Asian Cup? Is

1267
01:06:44,987 --> 01:06:45,747
Speaker 2: that what we're looking at?

1268
01:06:46,827 --> 01:06:49,707
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is, it is so they we can, we

1269
01:06:49,827 --> 01:06:52,827
Speaker 5: can if we win Chinese TYPEY did us a bit

1270
01:06:52,867 --> 01:06:56,307
Speaker 5: of a favor by beating the Philippines last night or

1271
01:06:56,307 --> 01:06:58,867
Speaker 5: two nights ago when whenever it was, and we don't

1272
01:06:58,907 --> 01:06:59,867
Speaker 5: need to win by a margin.

1273
01:06:59,907 --> 01:07:01,307
Speaker 10: Now we win, and we.

1274
01:07:01,867 --> 01:07:05,147
Speaker 5: Top our pool, which obviously gives us a slightly easier

1275
01:07:05,187 --> 01:07:08,827
Speaker 5: path through the Asia Cup, which gives us which then

1276
01:07:08,907 --> 01:07:11,827
Speaker 5: rolls onto World Cup qualifying campaign.

1277
01:07:11,907 --> 01:07:13,187
Speaker 10: So they all matter.

1278
01:07:14,907 --> 01:07:16,627
Speaker 5: But to be honest, we're playing in front of a

1279
01:07:16,667 --> 01:07:20,827
Speaker 5: big house at Spark Arena, so we want to get

1280
01:07:20,867 --> 01:07:23,427
Speaker 5: that one, get the one for all our fans are

1281
01:07:23,547 --> 01:07:23,987
Speaker 5: going to be there.

1282
01:07:24,507 --> 01:07:26,987
Speaker 2: And you had a couple of debutants in the squad.

1283
01:07:27,027 --> 01:07:30,147
Speaker 2: Hawks Bay Hawks youngster Jackson Ball just sixteen years old,

1284
01:07:30,427 --> 01:07:33,227
Speaker 2: Canterbury Rams rising star Thomas Isaac, both in your squad

1285
01:07:33,267 --> 01:07:34,867
Speaker 2: for the first time. Were were you able to get

1286
01:07:34,907 --> 01:07:35,787
Speaker 2: minutes for those two guys?

1287
01:07:37,027 --> 01:07:38,747
Speaker 5: We were That's the beauty of going up, you know,

1288
01:07:38,867 --> 01:07:40,827
Speaker 5: playing a team like Hong Kong. We could really spread

1289
01:07:40,827 --> 01:07:45,227
Speaker 5: the minutes. Really really impressed with both of those guys.

1290
01:07:45,267 --> 01:07:47,427
Speaker 5: You know, Jackson Ball sixteen years old. Like you say, like,

1291
01:07:48,147 --> 01:07:50,107
Speaker 5: I don't know what you're doing when you're sixteen pinty,

1292
01:07:50,147 --> 01:07:54,147
Speaker 5: but I certainly wasn't representing my country and making the

1293
01:07:54,187 --> 01:07:57,787
Speaker 5: most of that opportunity. Was he was fantastic. And Tooma

1294
01:07:57,907 --> 01:08:01,227
Speaker 5: Isaac actually, the eighteen year old from chross chich he

1295
01:08:02,627 --> 01:08:04,747
Speaker 5: he really came out and turned our defense around a

1296
01:08:04,787 --> 01:08:07,027
Speaker 5: little bit, you know, really really got after the ball

1297
01:08:07,107 --> 01:08:09,947
Speaker 5: in the full court and put their energy in effort

1298
01:08:09,947 --> 01:08:13,067
Speaker 5: they were looking for out there. So really really pleased

1299
01:08:13,107 --> 01:08:14,867
Speaker 5: with both of those kids. Bright futures ahead.

1300
01:08:14,987 --> 01:08:16,667
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've sent a bit of Jackson Ball actually at

1301
01:08:16,827 --> 01:08:18,667
Speaker 2: a couple of regional tournaments out of Ape. Your boys,

1302
01:08:18,707 --> 01:08:21,187
Speaker 2: of course see a big block. He put a big block,

1303
01:08:21,267 --> 01:08:23,427
Speaker 2: and I saw some social media footage of you know,

1304
01:08:23,547 --> 01:08:26,267
Speaker 2: during your Tall Blacks game. He could be anything, couldn't He.

1305
01:08:28,147 --> 01:08:30,587
Speaker 5: The world's oyster. The world is truly his oyster. He

1306
01:08:32,347 --> 01:08:36,587
Speaker 5: does the simple things really well. He's got good size strengths,

1307
01:08:36,747 --> 01:08:40,827
Speaker 5: shoots the ball very very well. Just one of just

1308
01:08:40,907 --> 01:08:43,107
Speaker 5: one of a number of our really exciting junior group

1309
01:08:43,267 --> 01:08:44,707
Speaker 5: at the moment. You know, we've got a we've got

1310
01:08:44,747 --> 01:08:47,227
Speaker 5: a really a nice bubble of kids coming through, so

1311
01:08:47,307 --> 01:08:49,227
Speaker 5: it's exciting to see them put on the black jersey

1312
01:08:50,187 --> 01:08:50,907
Speaker 5: at a young age.

1313
01:08:51,067 --> 01:08:52,867
Speaker 2: And at the other end of the experienced scale. Cory

1314
01:08:52,907 --> 01:08:55,427
Speaker 2: Webster went to the series on ninety nine games for

1315
01:08:55,507 --> 01:08:57,747
Speaker 2: New Zealand. Presumably you got got him one hundred the

1316
01:08:57,827 --> 01:08:58,427
Speaker 2: other night, did you.

1317
01:08:59,387 --> 01:09:01,627
Speaker 5: Well, Actually he didn't come up to Hong Kong with us.

1318
01:09:01,707 --> 01:09:04,187
Speaker 5: He was we elected to rest his body a little

1319
01:09:04,187 --> 01:09:07,827
Speaker 5: bit before the Philippines game. So he's going to raise

1320
01:09:07,867 --> 01:09:10,467
Speaker 5: his hundred. So she'll be a fun.

1321
01:09:10,387 --> 01:09:12,547
Speaker 2: Occasion, good stuff. Well, look forward to that, Mike, thanks

1322
01:09:12,587 --> 01:09:15,667
Speaker 2: for joining us on game day. Michael Fitchett, assistant coach

1323
01:09:15,787 --> 01:09:17,627
Speaker 2: of the tour Blacks, who take on the Philippines this

1324
01:09:17,707 --> 01:09:20,907
Speaker 2: afternoon at Spark Arena in Auckland. A bit of social

1325
01:09:20,947 --> 01:09:25,267
Speaker 2: media around saying that that game is sold out. Philippines basketball,

1326
01:09:25,307 --> 01:09:28,987
Speaker 2: it's their national sport, so they'll be I think a

1327
01:09:29,347 --> 01:09:33,587
Speaker 2: number of Auckland based Philippines fans there. But yes, no,

1328
01:09:33,627 --> 01:09:36,827
Speaker 2: I've had confirmation that game has sold out, good stuff, terrific.

1329
01:09:36,827 --> 01:09:38,307
Speaker 2: We don't get the chance to see the toll Blacks

1330
01:09:38,347 --> 01:09:40,107
Speaker 2: a lot at home, do we? So good to know

1331
01:09:40,227 --> 01:09:43,267
Speaker 2: that when that opportunity presents itself that people will turn out.

1332
01:09:43,347 --> 01:09:45,387
Speaker 2: And for Corey Webster, that'll be nice for him to

1333
01:09:45,387 --> 01:09:47,867
Speaker 2: bring up one hundred games in the black singlet in

1334
01:09:47,947 --> 01:09:52,907
Speaker 2: front of a big and presumably raucous home crowd. What

1335
01:09:53,027 --> 01:09:55,627
Speaker 2: are we twenty two away from? Two one? All the

1336
01:09:55,707 --> 01:09:58,947
Speaker 2: score remains between New Zealand's Football Ferns and Costa Rica,

1337
01:09:59,027 --> 01:10:02,267
Speaker 2: the first of two matches between these two sides over

1338
01:10:02,307 --> 01:10:05,067
Speaker 2: the next few days. Seventy eight and a half minutes

1339
01:10:05,107 --> 01:10:08,547
Speaker 2: gone one to one between Costa Rica and the Football Funds.

1340
01:10:09,067 --> 01:10:10,947
Speaker 2: We'll take a break and then it's a part of

1341

Speaker 2: our sundays, a regular part of our Sundays. James mcconey

1347
01:10:30,547 --> 01:10:33,787
Speaker 2: part of our Sundays James mcconey Craig goes Wild alternative

1348
01:10:33,827 --> 01:10:36,707
Speaker 2: commentary collective all across your socials. I'm not quite sure

1349
01:10:36,707 --> 01:10:39,547
Speaker 2: where to start, James, but could we start with the Chiefs? Perhaps?

1350
01:10:40,707 --> 01:10:42,467
Speaker 10: Well, let's do that, Piney, Let's get that out of

1351
01:10:42,507 --> 01:10:45,187
Speaker 10: the way, because I'm a massive Chiefs punisher, as they say,

1352
01:10:45,467 --> 01:10:47,467
Speaker 10: and I know half of your a lot most of

1353
01:10:47,507 --> 01:10:49,667
Speaker 10: your audiences probably don't want to hear this, but how

1354
01:10:49,787 --> 01:10:54,187
Speaker 10: good were the Chiefs, and in particular Simon Parker? People

1355
01:10:54,267 --> 01:10:57,227
Speaker 10: thinking who is Simon Parker? Including Chiefs fans? But that

1356
01:10:57,387 --> 01:10:59,827
Speaker 10: was quite a game from the big blind side flanker.

1357
01:10:59,947 --> 01:11:02,427
Speaker 10: He's been in and around the squad, but he had

1358
01:11:02,467 --> 01:11:05,867
Speaker 10: a blinder among many players, including Quintu Pyre as well.

1359
01:11:06,387 --> 01:11:07,827
Speaker 2: Sounds like the kind of guy who works in your

1360
01:11:07,867 --> 01:11:09,547
Speaker 2: office but you don't really know who he is and

1361
01:11:09,667 --> 01:11:13,427
Speaker 2: what he does. Yeah, Simon, Yeah, Simon Parker from Accounts

1362
01:11:13,467 --> 01:11:14,827
Speaker 2: or whatever it is he is.

1363
01:11:14,867 --> 01:11:15,107
Speaker 11: He is.

1364
01:11:15,227 --> 01:11:17,387
Speaker 10: He's a bit like that, maybe the mystery brother of

1365
01:11:17,427 --> 01:11:21,027
Speaker 10: Peter Parker, the spider Man. I'm just sort of wondering

1366
01:11:21,107 --> 01:11:24,267
Speaker 10: he hes didn't have superhero qualities on Friday Night. But

1367
01:11:24,747 --> 01:11:26,507
Speaker 10: I mean all is not lost for those teams. I

1368
01:11:26,587 --> 01:11:29,907
Speaker 10: always just think the Crusaders, Yeah they lost the Blues loss,

1369
01:11:29,947 --> 01:11:32,667
Speaker 10: but they are quite all black heavy. So what that

1370
01:11:32,867 --> 01:11:35,307
Speaker 10: means that your players haven't had quite the same preseason.

1371
01:11:35,307 --> 01:11:38,307
Speaker 10: They're coming back a little bit underdone, a little bit rustier.

1372
01:11:38,467 --> 01:11:40,867
Speaker 10: So you know, let's wait to the business until we

1373
01:11:40,987 --> 01:11:44,227
Speaker 10: start writing these eulogies for these teams, because yeah, the

1374
01:11:44,307 --> 01:11:47,467
Speaker 10: Chiefs were very good, but it's early days.

1375
01:11:47,747 --> 01:11:51,747
Speaker 2: It is early days. You know what rhymes with early Hurley?

1376
01:11:52,147 --> 01:11:53,947
Speaker 2: Finn Hurley. Did you see him last night?

1377
01:11:55,827 --> 01:11:58,587
Speaker 10: He was a blur piney. You know my TV screen

1378
01:11:58,867 --> 01:12:02,227
Speaker 10: couldn't keep up. I need to upgrade. It's the thing

1379
01:12:02,387 --> 01:12:04,587
Speaker 10: is that I need to talk to us that John

1380
01:12:04,627 --> 01:12:08,107
Speaker 10: and Adrian for Magnus Beener anyway had enough astilling advertisement

1381
01:12:08,107 --> 01:12:08,467
Speaker 10: of yours.

1382
01:12:09,027 --> 01:12:11,867
Speaker 2: But I thought, if they're not, they'll be back.

1383
01:12:12,707 --> 01:12:16,027
Speaker 10: That will be back. The thing is he is incredible,

1384
01:12:16,067 --> 01:12:18,587
Speaker 10: this little guy. He's listed at seventy five kgs. He

1385
01:12:18,667 --> 01:12:23,107
Speaker 10: plays fullback. He's short, small, it's kind of so quick

1386
01:12:23,187 --> 01:12:26,667
Speaker 10: that he's got that Ryan Pappenhausen vibe from the Melbourne

1387
01:12:26,747 --> 01:12:29,947
Speaker 10: Storm and he pops up everywhere in cleaning. A classic

1388
01:12:30,427 --> 01:12:32,627
Speaker 10: chip and chase that would have had Jeff Wilson on

1389
01:12:32,707 --> 01:12:35,547
Speaker 10: the sideline with a little tear in his eye going out.

1390
01:12:35,707 --> 01:12:38,027
Speaker 10: I used to do that, but this was incredible from

1391
01:12:38,467 --> 01:12:41,307
Speaker 10: young Van Hurley. But what I would add is that

1392
01:12:41,467 --> 01:12:44,107
Speaker 10: the obviously Jamie Joseph has made a big difference. They

1393
01:12:44,187 --> 01:12:48,787
Speaker 10: made of stern and stuff a really impressive forward effort.

1394
01:12:48,907 --> 01:12:51,427
Speaker 10: But I'd just like to sing about two other things.

1395
01:12:51,507 --> 01:12:55,627
Speaker 10: One is the Maki Tavatava Nawai playing at twelve. He's

1396
01:12:55,707 --> 01:12:59,227
Speaker 10: all blacks eligible now he's got to go close if

1397
01:12:59,267 --> 01:13:01,547
Speaker 10: he carries on this sort of form. He's the guy

1398
01:13:01,627 --> 01:13:04,507
Speaker 10: who played for Winna Pacifica on the wing. He went

1399
01:13:04,587 --> 01:13:07,667
Speaker 10: loved down to the Highlanders last year. He's turned down

1400
01:13:07,747 --> 01:13:11,027
Speaker 10: Fiji twice. He is waiting for the call up from Raiser.

1401
01:13:11,507 --> 01:13:13,787
Speaker 10: And then the second thing is that's the kind of

1402
01:13:13,867 --> 01:13:17,667
Speaker 10: game that brainwashes first year students from Auckland to becoming

1403
01:13:17,747 --> 01:13:20,907
Speaker 10: Highlandeds fans for life. So the Blues have lost a

1404
01:13:20,947 --> 01:13:21,587
Speaker 10: lot of people there.

1405
01:13:21,747 --> 01:13:25,147
Speaker 2: Yeah agree and great. You know I loved watching the

1406
01:13:25,507 --> 01:13:27,507
Speaker 2: what they call it the zoo there last night, all

1407
01:13:27,547 --> 01:13:31,187
Speaker 2: the first years on o week. That's that's terrific. And

1408
01:13:31,547 --> 01:13:33,347
Speaker 2: I was really really pleased for the Highlanders too, And

1409
01:13:33,387 --> 01:13:35,267
Speaker 2: you're right, Jamie Joseph made a mess of difference. I'm

1410
01:13:35,267 --> 01:13:36,747
Speaker 2: gonna have a check to Thin Hurley. Actually we've got

1411
01:13:36,747 --> 01:13:38,387
Speaker 2: his number. We'll give him a call after two o'clock.

1412
01:13:38,947 --> 01:13:42,627
Speaker 10: Yeah, just to say congrets. He's an Otago Boys High

1413
01:13:43,067 --> 01:13:45,627
Speaker 10: student as well, so he's so local. But also just

1414
01:13:45,747 --> 01:13:50,267
Speaker 10: one another mention of quick players Kira and Talmoyflal for

1415
01:13:50,387 --> 01:13:55,027
Speaker 10: the Mauana PACIFICA. That winger he's actually played. He's from Marlborough.

1416
01:13:55,347 --> 01:13:58,467
Speaker 10: He's played already for Tonga. But I think that he

1417
01:13:58,707 --> 01:14:00,347
Speaker 10: is trying to get into the All Blacks. So I

1418
01:14:00,387 --> 01:14:02,307
Speaker 10: think the All Blacks are really have looked at the

1419
01:14:02,347 --> 01:14:04,707
Speaker 10: eligibility and if he can do his stand down period

1420
01:14:05,427 --> 01:14:07,547
Speaker 10: from the last World Cup when he played for Tonga,

1421
01:14:07,987 --> 01:14:10,787
Speaker 10: I think he will be and raise his sights for

1422
01:14:10,907 --> 01:14:13,347
Speaker 10: the next World Cup. So what's his space? I'm giving

1423
01:14:13,427 --> 01:14:16,027
Speaker 10: his scoops here, Piney. And it's not even my job.

1424
01:14:16,267 --> 01:14:18,987
Speaker 2: No, no, well, I mean we can add it to

1425
01:14:18,987 --> 01:14:21,627
Speaker 2: your job description. We could even perhaps up your weekly

1426
01:14:21,787 --> 01:14:27,987
Speaker 2: rate if you continue to deliver two points. Joe Parker

1427
01:14:28,227 --> 01:14:31,467
Speaker 2: one again. This was a shame really because he didn't

1428
01:14:31,467 --> 01:14:33,507
Speaker 2: fight the guy who was supposed to fight Daniel Dubois.

1429
01:14:33,587 --> 01:14:34,787
Speaker 2: But he got the job done this morning.

1430
01:14:35,947 --> 01:14:37,827
Speaker 10: Yeah, he did get the job done. I mean it

1431
01:14:37,987 --> 01:14:42,507
Speaker 10: was they brought in a ring and that's I think

1432
01:14:42,547 --> 01:14:44,667
Speaker 10: it's just good that he's back on the world stage.

1433
01:14:44,667 --> 01:14:47,787
Speaker 10: He's obviously very passionate about carrying on. You know, a

1434
01:14:47,867 --> 01:14:51,107
Speaker 10: lot of heavyweights so they retire really and then come

1435
01:14:51,227 --> 01:14:53,947
Speaker 10: back and stuff. And I think Joe's looking, you know,

1436
01:14:54,147 --> 01:14:57,107
Speaker 10: fit and well and impressive. He's a lot quicker, I

1437
01:14:57,187 --> 01:14:59,787
Speaker 10: think with his hands and other heavyweight so that's always

1438
01:14:59,827 --> 01:15:03,187
Speaker 10: going to be his big advantage. But who knows if

1439
01:15:03,227 --> 01:15:05,387
Speaker 10: he can get back into these sort of title contention

1440
01:15:06,427 --> 01:15:09,387
Speaker 10: stage against the big dogs. But I mean he was

1441
01:15:09,467 --> 01:15:13,747
Speaker 10: Winston Peters by his side. There was anything as possible. Poney,

1442
01:15:13,787 --> 01:15:15,347
Speaker 10: I saw him. I think he changed his name to

1443
01:15:15,427 --> 01:15:18,067
Speaker 10: Winston Peter like Peter Bread when he was over there.

1444
01:15:18,387 --> 01:15:22,507
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, I saw him Mark Security, Yeah, I

1445
01:15:22,507 --> 01:15:25,187
Speaker 2: saw him ringside there. They had pretty good seeds, didn't he.

1446
01:15:26,107 --> 01:15:28,427
Speaker 10: Yeah, he was right in between. It looked like two

1447
01:15:28,947 --> 01:15:33,187
Speaker 10: Saudi billionaires and it's just on there. Maybe Tim Saudi

1448
01:15:33,227 --> 01:15:35,547
Speaker 10: should change his name to Tim Saudi. There's a lot

1449
01:15:35,587 --> 01:15:39,067
Speaker 10: of sponsorship opportunities. There's not the most ethical, but hey,

1450
01:15:39,307 --> 01:15:40,627
Speaker 10: you know if you want that money.

1451
01:15:40,947 --> 01:15:43,987
Speaker 2: Indeed, hey, Aukland FC, they were quite good. Yes, did

1452
01:15:44,027 --> 01:15:44,867
Speaker 2: I did you watch any of this?

1453
01:15:45,787 --> 01:15:48,507
Speaker 10: I was there, Poney, and I was actually lurking behind

1454
01:15:48,547 --> 01:15:51,947
Speaker 10: you at one point I went upstairs for the commentary

1455
01:15:52,427 --> 01:15:55,187
Speaker 10: and you were, I mean you were in full flights

1456
01:15:55,387 --> 01:15:59,947
Speaker 10: and what again? Six ' one. I thought that Auckland

1457
01:16:00,067 --> 01:16:02,107
Speaker 10: f C was so dominant in that first half. It

1458
01:16:02,107 --> 01:16:05,547
Speaker 10: could have been six in the first half, but the

1459
01:16:05,587 --> 01:16:08,547
Speaker 10: welling Coonfenence came back really nicely. And one thing I

1460
01:16:08,587 --> 01:16:10,787
Speaker 10: will say is, even though it's a six to one

1461
01:16:10,867 --> 01:16:14,387
Speaker 10: win and great to see an all white contender l

1462
01:16:14,387 --> 01:16:17,627
Speaker 10: like Logan Rodgers and scored two goals. I thought when

1463
01:16:17,707 --> 01:16:19,907
Speaker 10: Luke brook Smith came on the sixteen year old for

1464
01:16:20,427 --> 01:16:23,307
Speaker 10: rollingon Phoenix, we saw the future for the all whites

1465
01:16:23,387 --> 01:16:26,107
Speaker 10: because Piney I'm an all whites fan first and then

1466
01:16:26,187 --> 01:16:30,827
Speaker 10: these other club team second. And he's sixteen former BMX rider,

1467
01:16:31,267 --> 01:16:34,107
Speaker 10: spotted by Ricky Herbert or Ricky Herbert's dad or something

1468
01:16:34,867 --> 01:16:37,787
Speaker 10: in Cambridge when he was chasing his being extreme and

1469
01:16:37,947 --> 01:16:41,387
Speaker 10: now he could be our Laminia male if anyone remembers

1470
01:16:41,467 --> 01:16:44,227
Speaker 10: him from the Euros. He looks that talented.

1471
01:16:44,467 --> 01:16:47,427
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a good Did you know that yesterday was

1472
01:16:47,507 --> 01:16:51,147
Speaker 2: his mum's birthday And when he looked at the fixture

1473
01:16:51,187 --> 01:16:52,827
Speaker 2: list at the start of the season and saw that

1474
01:16:52,907 --> 01:16:55,347
Speaker 2: there was a game on the twenty second of February

1475
01:16:55,427 --> 01:16:58,227
Speaker 2: his mum's birthday, he said to his mum, I'm going

1476
01:16:58,307 --> 01:16:59,867
Speaker 2: to score on your birthday.

1477
01:16:59,627 --> 01:17:00,147
Speaker 17: And he did.

1478
01:17:01,387 --> 01:17:05,147
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, that's just he just looks special. I mean,

1479
01:17:05,587 --> 01:17:07,427
Speaker 10: I just don't think seen a part like that. He's

1480
01:17:07,427 --> 01:17:09,547
Speaker 10: got shot. He looks like he should be playing second five,

1481
01:17:09,707 --> 01:17:13,147
Speaker 10: like the shoulders on the kid. But he's from, like

1482
01:17:13,267 --> 01:17:17,467
Speaker 10: I said, from Fangade, just has just a real attitude

1483
01:17:17,507 --> 01:17:19,987
Speaker 10: for this game. And ye, he made a mistake passed

1484
01:17:20,027 --> 01:17:22,667
Speaker 10: the ball at Rogerson at one point, but I don't

1485
01:17:22,707 --> 01:17:25,187
Speaker 10: think it's going to affecting. He just looks like he's

1486
01:17:25,707 --> 01:17:28,507
Speaker 10: a future star. And I think in the next World

1487
01:17:28,547 --> 01:17:32,267
Speaker 10: Cup we'll have him and Chris woodoffing up front at

1488
01:17:32,307 --> 01:17:32,667
Speaker 10: some point.

1489
01:17:32,907 --> 01:17:35,387
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks like a player. Just back to Aukland FC.

1490
01:17:35,427 --> 01:17:38,187
Speaker 2: We shouldn't ignore them because there are you. I mean,

1491
01:17:38,227 --> 01:17:41,827
Speaker 2: they're terrific and even even isn't isn't the act game

1492
01:17:41,947 --> 01:17:44,187
Speaker 2: experience just brilliant? I mean, who could have dreamed that

1493
01:17:44,187 --> 01:17:44,907
Speaker 2: it would be like this?

1494
01:17:46,147 --> 01:17:49,547
Speaker 10: I mean when you locked, I mean you've got Arthur Williams,

1495
01:17:49,587 --> 01:17:53,347
Speaker 10: there's Chris Luxe and Luxe he was there, and then

1496
01:17:53,427 --> 01:17:55,987
Speaker 10: old Dan Carter with his son to a football mad.

1497
01:17:56,587 --> 01:17:59,147
Speaker 10: I mean, this is it is massive. I mean, and

1498
01:17:59,267 --> 01:18:01,867
Speaker 10: I'm massive. I'm name dropping here, but it is an

1499
01:18:01,907 --> 01:18:05,987
Speaker 10: incredible game to experience the port, the atmosphere they provide

1500
01:18:06,027 --> 01:18:08,907
Speaker 10: and all so the Wellington Phoenix fans who traveled that

1501
01:18:09,227 --> 01:18:11,187
Speaker 10: to me, I've think I've said it before. It's as

1502
01:18:11,267 --> 01:18:13,707
Speaker 10: close as we'll get to. And if they cut the

1503
01:18:13,787 --> 01:18:16,387
Speaker 10: A time final that used to watch, we just feel

1504
01:18:17,467 --> 01:18:19,227
Speaker 10: the roar of the crowd and the passion of the

1505
01:18:19,307 --> 01:18:22,307
Speaker 10: crowd and long may it last. I mean I would

1506
01:18:22,467 --> 01:18:24,587
Speaker 10: schedule more Derby games if you could.

1507
01:18:24,987 --> 01:18:27,507
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you can see why they why they put

1508
01:18:27,547 --> 01:18:29,587
Speaker 2: a big focus on them. They do in Melbourne as well,

1509
01:18:29,707 --> 01:18:31,147
Speaker 2: do it in Sydney as well. Hey, now are you

1510
01:18:31,267 --> 01:18:32,947
Speaker 2: going to Vegas to watch the Warriors?

1511
01:18:34,227 --> 01:18:35,947
Speaker 10: Look, I'm not going to Vegas. I don't know who

1512
01:18:36,027 --> 01:18:38,467
Speaker 10: decided who goes to Vegas. But they obviously thought I

1513
01:18:38,547 --> 01:18:41,467
Speaker 10: was a massive flight risk there. I don't know why.

1514
01:18:43,227 --> 01:18:45,627
Speaker 2: They've said. They've said four rugby league teams there.

1515
01:18:45,867 --> 01:18:49,987
Speaker 10: I mean, surely, surely I'm below down over the risk

1516
01:18:50,067 --> 01:18:52,947
Speaker 10: here the risk report. But no, I'm not going to

1517
01:18:53,027 --> 01:18:55,627
Speaker 10: Las Vegas. Ponty, thanks for rubbing that salt in the wound.

1518
01:18:55,667 --> 01:18:58,267
Speaker 10: But the one I mean, I am looking forward to

1519
01:18:58,347 --> 01:19:01,227
Speaker 10: that game. But the one event I've been watching over

1520
01:19:01,467 --> 01:19:05,347
Speaker 10: in the States is the hockey between Canada and USA. Well,

1521
01:19:05,347 --> 01:19:08,867
Speaker 10: I've been keeping tabs because it's turned into a geopolitical

1522
01:19:09,387 --> 01:19:12,707
Speaker 10: fight between Trump and Trudeau. Of course, Trump, you know,

1523
01:19:12,907 --> 01:19:16,467
Speaker 10: bringing in all the sanctions and the and the tariffs

1524
01:19:16,467 --> 01:19:19,147
Speaker 10: against Canada and claiming there should just be another state,

1525
01:19:19,867 --> 01:19:22,787
Speaker 10: and Canada fighting back with their hockey team. There were

1526
01:19:22,867 --> 01:19:25,667
Speaker 10: three fights of the first nine seconds of the first game,

1527
01:19:26,187 --> 01:19:28,747
Speaker 10: and it's all because of Trump. He's basically like the

1528
01:19:28,827 --> 01:19:32,827
Speaker 10: don King, really sort of ramping people up, racking them up.

1529
01:19:32,907 --> 01:19:35,667
Speaker 10: And now we've got this incredible thing where Canada fought

1530
01:19:35,707 --> 01:19:38,747
Speaker 10: back and fought one three too, and Trudeau's straight into

1531
01:19:38,867 --> 01:19:41,027
Speaker 10: Trump over the hockey result.

1532
01:19:41,387 --> 01:19:45,027
Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing stuff. Geopolitics and sport. You never know what

1533
01:19:45,147 --> 01:19:47,187
Speaker 2: you're going to get at around one forty five on

1534
01:19:47,267 --> 01:19:51,067
Speaker 2: a Sunday, but here we are. Well, that's what I

1535
01:19:51,147 --> 01:19:54,747
Speaker 2: bring next and much more. Besides. Always good to jet mate.

1549
01:20:32,227 --> 01:20:35,307

1550
01:20:35,307 --> 01:20:38,027
Speaker 2: against Spain. Warn't that all right? But Spain have beaten

1551
01:20:38,067 --> 01:20:40,587
Speaker 2: New zeal on the last two times they've played, so

1552
01:20:40,987 --> 01:20:43,707
Speaker 2: not a phata complee by any stretch of the imagination.

1553
01:20:43,787 --> 01:20:46,507
Speaker 2: They've had a couple of minutes so far, still scoreless

1554
01:20:46,907 --> 01:20:49,507

1557
01:20:55,027 --> 01:20:58,107
Speaker 2: up after the two o'clock news. Well, we've been holding

1558
01:20:58,147 --> 01:21:02,267
Speaker 2: off talking about the Highlanders, to the displeasure of some

1559
01:21:02,507 --> 01:21:04,507
Speaker 2: who thought that we should have been talking about them

1560
01:21:04,547 --> 01:21:07,187
Speaker 2: since midday. Look, I'm happy to talk about the Highlanders.

1561
01:21:08,227 --> 01:21:10,947
Speaker 2: Was just delighted to see the scenes at Forsyth Bar

1562
01:21:11,027 --> 01:21:14,307
Speaker 2: Stadium last night when they beat the Blues, first time

1563
01:21:14,347 --> 01:21:16,707
Speaker 2: they've beaten the Blues for quite some time. A huge

1564
01:21:17,347 --> 01:21:19,907
Speaker 2: crowd turning up there. Well, it's a huge fifteen thousand.

1565
01:21:19,987 --> 01:21:22,627
Speaker 2: It looked big. It was loud o work down there,

1566
01:21:22,707 --> 01:21:25,907
Speaker 2: so plenty of first year Scarfi's turning up. Finn Hurley

1567
01:21:26,307 --> 01:21:28,947
Speaker 2: was the star of the show really, although some would

1568
01:21:28,987 --> 01:21:32,627
Speaker 2: say Timothy Tavatavannah White perhaps deserved to be Man of

1569
01:21:32,667 --> 01:21:33,787
Speaker 2: the match. I didn't even know if they had an

1570
01:21:33,827 --> 01:21:37,027
Speaker 2: official man of the match, but Tava Tavannah White terrific.

1571
01:21:37,387 --> 01:21:39,947
Speaker 2: Finn Hurley, though, with a couple of tries, including a

1572
01:21:40,027 --> 01:21:44,147
Speaker 2: kick and chase which brought back memories of Jeff Wilson

1573
01:21:44,587 --> 01:21:46,107
Speaker 2: so Finn Hurley is going to have a chat to

1574
01:21:46,227 --> 01:21:48,747
Speaker 2: us after two o'clock. What did he see when that

1575
01:21:48,827 --> 01:21:51,267
Speaker 2: ball bounced in front of him just outside his own

1576
01:21:51,307 --> 01:21:53,147
Speaker 2: twenty two in the first half when he took off?

1577
01:21:54,067 --> 01:21:56,587
Speaker 2: And what's it like being in this Highlanders side at

1578
01:21:56,627 --> 01:21:58,747
Speaker 2: the moment. I know it's only one game, I know that,

1579
01:21:59,507 --> 01:22:01,187
Speaker 2: but there just seems to be a bit of a

1580
01:22:01,467 --> 01:22:04,907
Speaker 2: zip and a zing and an enthusiasm about the Highlanders

1581
01:22:04,907 --> 01:22:07,867
Speaker 2: at the moment. And you have to, I guess put

1582
01:22:07,987 --> 01:22:09,987
Speaker 2: a large part of that down to Jamie Joseph moving

1583
01:22:10,267 --> 01:22:13,147
Speaker 2: back into the head coaching role fin early after two

1584
01:22:13,467 --> 01:22:15,107

Speaker 2: three off loads, one hundred and sixty two meters run

1690
01:28:25,147 --> 01:28:28,147
Speaker 2: with ball in hand. Not a bad night's work for you, mate.

1691
01:28:29,107 --> 01:28:34,387
Speaker 18: Yeah, pretty surreal moment out there, and just couldn't have

1692
01:28:34,507 --> 01:28:36,387
Speaker 18: been any better being able to do it at home

1693
01:28:36,427 --> 01:28:38,947
Speaker 18: in front of a heap of passionate fans.

1694
01:28:39,347 --> 01:28:42,027
Speaker 2: How significant a win is this for the Highlanders?

1695
01:28:44,867 --> 01:28:47,027
Speaker 18: Yeah? I think it gives the boys a lot of

1696
01:28:47,107 --> 01:28:50,067
Speaker 18: belief and also just their supporters a lot of beliefs. So,

1697
01:28:51,547 --> 01:28:55,027
Speaker 18: especially after last week having a tight loss and then

1698
01:28:55,107 --> 01:28:57,667
Speaker 18: been able to come out and got a performance like

1699
01:28:57,747 --> 01:28:59,627
Speaker 18: that out there, I think yes, gives us a lot

1700
01:28:59,627 --> 01:29:01,827
Speaker 18: of beliefs going going forward.

1701
01:29:02,187 --> 01:29:04,667
Speaker 2: It was a game of a lot of ebbs and flows.

1702
01:29:05,227 --> 01:29:07,627
Speaker 2: What were the conversation and you guys were having out

1703
01:29:07,667 --> 01:29:09,427
Speaker 2: there when you were fourteen three down.

1704
01:29:11,667 --> 01:29:14,387
Speaker 18: I was just, yeah, sticking to our game, getting the

1705
01:29:14,427 --> 01:29:16,107
Speaker 18: ball on the right part of the field, and then

1706
01:29:16,307 --> 01:29:19,107
Speaker 18: just just holding onto the ball and getting points when

1707
01:29:19,147 --> 01:29:23,867
Speaker 18: we entered their twenty two and then you're just keeping

1708
01:29:23,907 --> 01:29:24,787
Speaker 18: on stacking moments.

1709
01:29:26,027 --> 01:29:28,707
Speaker 2: So talk us through your first try. The Blues kick

1710
01:29:28,747 --> 01:29:31,347
Speaker 2: it down field, you gather it just outside your twenty two,

1711
01:29:31,427 --> 01:29:32,747
Speaker 2: so pick it up for us.

1712
01:29:32,787 --> 01:29:37,627
Speaker 18: From there, you just sort of how do we look?

1713
01:29:37,747 --> 01:29:39,707
Speaker 18: And there wasn't there was a week of a space

1714
01:29:39,747 --> 01:29:42,907
Speaker 18: behind the initial defense line, so chucked their own and

1715
01:29:42,947 --> 01:29:46,347
Speaker 18: then got a I wasn't actually the bounce I was

1716
01:29:46,387 --> 01:29:49,067
Speaker 18: looking for, but they actually turned out better than it

1717
01:29:49,267 --> 01:29:52,987
Speaker 18: could have ever expected, So it worked out perfectly.

1718
01:29:53,067 --> 01:29:55,467
Speaker 2: Yeah, presume you're expecting it to bounce back towards you

1719
01:29:55,667 --> 01:29:57,507
Speaker 2: rather than continue to roll forward. But you're kind of

1720
01:29:57,627 --> 01:29:59,347
Speaker 2: I guess steam passed well. I think it was finnly

1721
01:29:59,427 --> 01:30:02,147
Speaker 2: Christian managed to gather. So from there you're always confidence

1722
01:30:02,547 --> 01:30:04,067
Speaker 2: had you had the legs to get to the line.

1723
01:30:04,827 --> 01:30:07,547
Speaker 18: Yeah, I heard someone cooling on the inside, but never

1724
01:30:07,627 --> 01:30:08,147
Speaker 18: really looked.

1725
01:30:09,267 --> 01:30:14,947
Speaker 2: That's optimistic from that's optimistic from Oever, that was well

1726
01:30:15,067 --> 01:30:17,907
Speaker 2: and the second of the second try in the second half,

1727
01:30:18,267 --> 01:30:20,747
Speaker 2: at the end of a flowing, counter attacking move, do

1728
01:30:20,907 --> 01:30:22,627
Speaker 2: your instincts just kind of get you in the right

1729
01:30:22,667 --> 01:30:24,187
Speaker 2: place to receive that final past?

1730
01:30:26,547 --> 01:30:29,267
Speaker 18: Yeah, I just sort of the boys, but he made

1731
01:30:29,307 --> 01:30:30,907
Speaker 18: a big break and I just sort of had to

1732
01:30:31,067 --> 01:30:32,707
Speaker 18: put the foot down to give him the spot to

1733
01:30:33,227 --> 01:30:34,867
Speaker 18: be an option, I suppose, which.

1734
01:30:35,227 --> 01:30:36,707
Speaker 9: Yeah, led to that, I feel.

1735
01:30:37,427 --> 01:30:40,387
Speaker 2: So then you go down to fourteen men on about

1736
01:30:40,427 --> 01:30:42,827
Speaker 2: the hour mark, you're only your head by two points.

1737
01:30:43,067 --> 01:30:45,187
Speaker 2: What sort of conversations are happening at that point?

1738
01:30:47,387 --> 01:30:50,227
Speaker 18: Yeah, it was more of the same, just getting playing

1739
01:30:50,267 --> 01:30:51,987
Speaker 18: in the right part of the field and holding onto

1740
01:30:52,027 --> 01:30:55,307
Speaker 18: the ball, and then they're just taking points whenever we

1741
01:30:55,347 --> 01:30:57,987
Speaker 18: could get a penalty because we ended up having thirteen

1742
01:30:58,147 --> 01:31:00,307
Speaker 18: because of the golden oldest scrum.

1743
01:31:00,907 --> 01:31:02,467
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, Yeah.

1744
01:31:02,387 --> 01:31:05,707
Speaker 18: Which we had a scrum and I was looking outside.

1745
01:31:05,787 --> 01:31:08,027
Speaker 18: Man sent two backs into the scrumming on. He had

1746
01:31:08,027 --> 01:31:10,547
Speaker 18: about three backs out with us. What are we doing here?

1747
01:31:10,587 --> 01:31:10,907
Speaker 6: Boys?

1748
01:31:14,227 --> 01:31:15,267
Speaker 8: Yeah? Good?

1749
01:31:15,627 --> 01:31:18,427
Speaker 2: Oh man? What a what a moment, you know, to

1750
01:31:18,547 --> 01:31:21,387
Speaker 2: win under that sort of pressure. I just want to

1751
01:31:21,387 --> 01:31:23,147
Speaker 2: ask you about a couple of players in your team,

1752
01:31:23,187 --> 01:31:27,867
Speaker 2: Timothy Tay. What a monumental game from him. How big

1753
01:31:27,907 --> 01:31:29,267
Speaker 2: an influence is he on your side?

1754
01:31:30,467 --> 01:31:30,667
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1755
01:31:30,867 --> 01:31:36,147
Speaker 18: Man just leads by example, goes out there, he gets

1756
01:31:36,267 --> 01:31:39,227
Speaker 18: turnovers like his afford and just keeps going.

1757
01:31:40,227 --> 01:31:40,427
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1758
01:31:40,547 --> 01:31:42,707
Speaker 18: I can't can't ask too much more out of that

1759
01:31:42,827 --> 01:31:43,307
Speaker 18: mat Yeah.

1760
01:31:43,347 --> 01:31:45,387
Speaker 2: I thought he was an outside back. Turns out he's

1761
01:31:45,427 --> 01:31:46,027
Speaker 2: a midfielder.

1762
01:31:46,707 --> 01:31:51,467
Speaker 18: Yeah, he's made a wee transformation there and he's thriving.

1763
01:31:52,027 --> 01:31:53,107
Speaker 2: And now the guy I want to ask you about

1764
01:31:53,107 --> 01:31:55,747
Speaker 2: actually is Jamie Joseph. Yeah, your head coach. He was

1765
01:31:55,787 --> 01:31:57,587
Speaker 2: in and around the team last year. Obviously is in

1766
01:31:57,667 --> 01:32:00,307
Speaker 2: a director of rugby role. I think he prefers to

1767
01:32:00,347 --> 01:32:02,947
Speaker 2: get his hands dirty in a coaching role. What has

1768
01:32:02,987 --> 01:32:04,987
Speaker 2: he brought to the Highlanders this season?

1769
01:32:06,627 --> 01:32:10,347
Speaker 18: Yeah, he's bought, He's built a really good culture within

1770
01:32:10,427 --> 01:32:15,587
Speaker 18: the side and just yeah, it all started throughout pre

1771
01:32:15,747 --> 01:32:18,867
Speaker 18: season and he's pretty much laid down how he wants

1772
01:32:18,867 --> 01:32:22,707
Speaker 18: to play and then it's just flowed through. So no,

1773
01:32:22,867 --> 01:32:26,147
Speaker 18: it's I think we're going in the right direction anyway.

1774
01:32:26,227 --> 01:32:26,347
Speaker 11: Now.

1775
01:32:26,387 --> 01:32:29,507
Speaker 2: It certainly looks like it. Very poignant moment pre game

1776
01:32:29,547 --> 01:32:32,667
Speaker 2: as well, with a tribute to your former teammate Connor

1777
01:32:32,787 --> 01:32:34,547
Speaker 2: Garden bashup. How special a moment was that?

1778
01:32:35,987 --> 01:32:40,707
Speaker 18: Yeah, it was pretty special. Awesome initiative from the Highlanders

1779
01:32:40,787 --> 01:32:44,747
Speaker 18: and whoever made that happen, And yeah, awesome to be

1780
01:32:44,787 --> 01:32:48,667
Speaker 18: able to pay her respects in that way to Yeah, Connor.

1781
01:32:49,547 --> 01:32:50,827
Speaker 2: How good was the crowd last night?

1782
01:32:52,067 --> 01:32:54,787
Speaker 18: No, it was outstanding. In the warm up there was

1783
01:32:54,787 --> 01:32:57,827
Speaker 18: a live band playing and he couldn't hear anything, and

1784
01:32:57,907 --> 01:33:00,227
Speaker 18: I was thinking, Jesus, this bit of bloody caught down

1785
01:33:00,307 --> 01:33:03,107
Speaker 18: or even otherwise, I'm gonna kind of better blood he

1786
01:33:03,147 --> 01:33:03,707
Speaker 18: talked to anyone?

1787
01:33:04,947 --> 01:33:05,427
Speaker 13: And what was it?

1788
01:33:05,587 --> 01:33:05,627
Speaker 10: Like?

1789
01:33:05,707 --> 01:33:05,947
Speaker 8: It was?

1790
01:33:05,987 --> 01:33:07,947
Speaker 2: It was difficult to hear because I'm obviously the roof

1791
01:33:08,027 --> 01:33:10,187
Speaker 2: there makes it even you know, even more sort of

1792
01:33:10,387 --> 01:33:12,547
Speaker 2: in she like you know, were there times when you're

1793
01:33:12,707 --> 01:33:15,187
Speaker 2: wor struggling to hear your teammates.

1794
01:33:15,307 --> 01:33:20,027
Speaker 18: Definitely, like during like during playing stuff, it's hard to

1795
01:33:20,067 --> 01:33:22,347
Speaker 18: communicate with anyone really, but once you come in and

1796
01:33:22,547 --> 01:33:25,147
Speaker 18: get tight, you can get a few messages across each other.

1797
01:33:26,227 --> 01:33:29,587
Speaker 2: All right, Well, it's it's a it's a terrific result.

1798
01:33:30,227 --> 01:33:31,507
Speaker 2: I guess. You do have to keep your feet on

1799
01:33:31,507 --> 01:33:32,907
Speaker 2: the ground a little bit, though, don't you. It's only

1800
01:33:32,987 --> 01:33:35,467
Speaker 2: one game and I'm sure you'll get that message loud

1801
01:33:35,507 --> 01:33:37,467
Speaker 2: and clear from Jamie Joseph as you prepare for one

1802
01:33:37,507 --> 01:33:39,907
Speaker 2: in pacifica next weekend. But you feel like this is

1803
01:33:39,947 --> 01:33:42,147
Speaker 2: a team that will stay pretty grounded even though you've

1804
01:33:42,227 --> 01:33:43,707
Speaker 2: you've achieved something pretty special here.

1805
01:33:44,827 --> 01:33:47,227
Speaker 18: Yeah, definitely, I would say, yeah, we'll be back to

1806
01:33:47,307 --> 01:33:51,787
Speaker 18: the drawing board tomorrow and yeah there was a bit

1807
01:33:51,827 --> 01:33:54,347
Speaker 18: more hard work put in before for that next game

1808
01:33:54,467 --> 01:33:54,827
Speaker 18: or today.

1809
01:33:55,387 --> 01:33:57,347
Speaker 2: How was the octagon last night? Did you venture out?

1810
01:33:58,987 --> 01:34:02,307
Speaker 18: You went for a wee lot, nothing too crazy, pulled

1811
01:34:02,347 --> 01:34:05,107
Speaker 18: up million marks this morning, so it's the main thing.

1812
01:34:06,467 --> 01:34:06,867
Speaker 6: I love it.

1813
01:34:06,907 --> 01:34:09,427
Speaker 2: Good stuff. But hey, well, congratulations on a terrific performance

1814
01:34:09,427 --> 01:34:11,147
Speaker 2: from you and from the team last night. I think

1815
01:34:11,187 --> 01:34:13,947
Speaker 2: everybody apart from Blue supporters loved it very much. So

1816
01:34:14,067 --> 01:34:16,827
Speaker 2: congratulations mate, and thanks for taking the time for a chat.

1817
01:34:17,107 --> 01:34:19,787
Speaker 2: No problem, you much, No thanks mate. Fin Hurley there

1818
01:34:20,267 --> 01:34:24,227
Speaker 2: out of the Highlanders' scorer of two tries last night.

1819
01:34:24,307 --> 01:34:26,587
Speaker 2: Big part of the Highlanders performance, but it was built

1820
01:34:26,627 --> 01:34:29,387
Speaker 2: on more than just what Finn Hurley did. I just

1821
01:34:29,547 --> 01:34:32,787
Speaker 2: really enjoyed watching it. I just thought it was terrific.

1822
01:34:32,827 --> 01:34:35,307
Speaker 2: I mean, we all want every New Zealand team to

1823
01:34:35,347 --> 01:34:38,987
Speaker 2: be strong right, and in recent years the Highlanders already struggled.

1824
01:34:39,907 --> 01:34:42,547
Speaker 2: You know that that's not going to come as a

1825
01:34:42,627 --> 01:34:46,187
Speaker 2: shock to you. But when the Blues, the defending champions,

1826
01:34:46,227 --> 01:34:49,267
Speaker 2: hit town last night and we're ahead fourteen to three

1827
01:34:49,787 --> 01:34:52,747
Speaker 2: in the first half, you think, Okay, I've seen this

1828
01:34:52,867 --> 01:34:55,107
Speaker 2: movie before. I know how this one's going to go.

1829
01:34:55,347 --> 01:34:58,427
Speaker 2: I can see the script. Yeah, the Highlanders will be

1830
01:34:58,507 --> 01:35:01,467
Speaker 2: plucky and they'll put up, you know, some resistance, but

1831
01:35:01,587 --> 01:35:02,787
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, the Blues are going

1832
01:35:02,827 --> 01:35:03,347
Speaker 2: to win the game.

1833
01:35:03,387 --> 01:35:04,147
Speaker 11: Well, not a bit of it.

1834
01:35:05,227 --> 01:35:07,947
Speaker 2: Highland is twenty nine Blues twenty one. Let's talk some

1835
01:35:08,507 --> 01:35:11,667
Speaker 2: super rugby and specifically the Highlanders oh eight hundred and

1836
01:35:11,707 --> 01:35:15,427
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty. In the space of a couple of games,

1837
01:35:15,467 --> 01:35:20,347
Speaker 2: they've become a very watchable rugby team again. Last weekend,

1838
01:35:21,267 --> 01:35:24,067
Speaker 2: the start of the season, a last minute thirty seven

1839
01:35:24,227 --> 01:35:27,507
Speaker 2: thirty six loss to the Warratas. Probably should have won

1840
01:35:27,547 --> 01:35:29,267
Speaker 2: that game, could have won it, should have won it

1841
01:35:30,427 --> 01:35:33,227
Speaker 2: under the roof last night twenty nine to twenty one

1842
01:35:33,307 --> 01:35:38,107
Speaker 2: over the Blues. You can't ignore the Jamie Joseph effect

1843
01:35:38,147 --> 01:35:42,987
Speaker 2: on this team. I don't think he just has something

1844
01:35:43,027 --> 01:35:45,667
Speaker 2: about him, doesn't he and talking to Jamie Joseph a

1845
01:35:45,707 --> 01:35:47,827
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago when we had all of the

1846
01:35:48,067 --> 01:35:49,827
Speaker 2: super rugby head coaches on the show, it was just

1847
01:35:49,947 --> 01:35:54,107
Speaker 2: obvious how much he had missed not head coaching when

1848
01:35:54,147 --> 01:35:57,427
Speaker 2: he came back to the Highlanders last year. In that man,

1849
01:35:57,467 --> 01:35:59,707
Speaker 2: I don't even think Jamie Joseph knew what the role was,

1850
01:36:00,227 --> 01:36:02,347
Speaker 2: you know, director of rugby. What does that even mean?

1851
01:36:03,307 --> 01:36:05,787
Speaker 2: I know, look, I'm being a little bit facetious, perhaps

1852
01:36:06,347 --> 01:36:08,707
Speaker 2: because I know roles like this are important and big

1853
01:36:08,747 --> 01:36:13,027
Speaker 2: sporting organizations. But Jamie Joseph's a head coach. He's far

1854
01:36:13,227 --> 01:36:16,347
Speaker 2: happier on the grass than he is behind a desk.

1855
01:36:17,987 --> 01:36:20,107
Speaker 2: They also get big advantage, don't they from playing at

1856
01:36:20,107 --> 01:36:23,667
Speaker 2: home as all the teams do, but particularly in Dunedin,

1857
01:36:25,347 --> 01:36:27,547
Speaker 2: and they turned out in good numbers there last night

1858
01:36:29,027 --> 01:36:31,627
Speaker 2: for a fan base which has done it pretty tough,

1859
01:36:31,667 --> 01:36:34,347
Speaker 2: as I say, in recent years. I think Heighland his

1860
01:36:34,427 --> 01:36:36,747
Speaker 2: fans can be pretty happy today if you are one

1861
01:36:36,827 --> 01:36:39,347
Speaker 2: of them. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty as

1862
01:36:39,387 --> 01:36:41,827
Speaker 2: our number. If you want to luxuriate in this look,

1863
01:36:41,867 --> 01:36:43,387
Speaker 2: you don't want to pump up a young guy's tires

1864
01:36:43,427 --> 01:36:45,147
Speaker 2: too much. But Fin Hurley looks like a guy who

1865
01:36:45,227 --> 01:36:48,747
Speaker 2: could really make a go at this game of rugby.

1866
01:36:49,307 --> 01:36:53,987
Speaker 2: There's nothing to him. I've said this before, but I

1867
01:36:54,067 --> 01:36:56,947
Speaker 2: saw him interviewed after the game by Joey Wheeler. How

1868
01:36:56,947 --> 01:37:00,307
Speaker 2: good mate, Joey Wheeler, who's quite a big guy and

1869
01:37:00,427 --> 01:37:04,667
Speaker 2: honestly looked like he was interviewing a schoolboy. Finn Hurley

1870
01:37:04,747 --> 01:37:07,547
Speaker 2: is so fresh faced. There's not much to him. He's

1871
01:37:07,547 --> 01:37:10,107
Speaker 2: only about seventy five kilos and I think that might

1872
01:37:10,147 --> 01:37:14,307
Speaker 2: be optimistic. And look, I don't think he's shaving yet

1873
01:37:14,987 --> 01:37:17,307
Speaker 2: again being a bit facetious, but there's nothing to him.

1874
01:37:17,467 --> 01:37:21,307
Speaker 2: He's just, you know, compared to some of the big

1875
01:37:21,387 --> 01:37:25,107
Speaker 2: brutes that are running around in Super Rugby. But yeah,

1876
01:37:25,147 --> 01:37:26,707
Speaker 2: a guy to keep an eye. And if we zoom

1877
01:37:26,747 --> 01:37:31,907
Speaker 2: out from the Highlanders to the Super Rugby round in

1878
01:37:32,027 --> 01:37:34,627
Speaker 2: its entirety. After last week, I think you know, we

1879
01:37:34,707 --> 01:37:37,347
Speaker 2: were all saying, hey, Super Rugby's back round one was

1880
01:37:37,427 --> 01:37:40,707
Speaker 2: great and hoping, I guess that it would live up

1881
01:37:40,787 --> 01:37:42,627
Speaker 2: to that hype in the second week. Well it did.

1882
01:37:43,507 --> 01:37:47,467
Speaker 2: Another high scoring round, plenty of tries to enjoy. Margins

1883
01:37:47,547 --> 01:37:50,467
Speaker 2: not quite as close as last weekend, granted, but still

1884
01:37:51,027 --> 01:37:54,987
Speaker 2: some jeopardy. Highlanders beating the Blues. That was an upset.

1885
01:37:55,667 --> 01:37:59,227
Speaker 2: Force beating the Brumbies that was an upset. In Canberra.

1886
01:37:59,947 --> 01:38:02,387
Speaker 2: The Force are two from two now the Fiji and

1887
01:38:02,467 --> 01:38:06,747
Speaker 2: drew and nearly beat the Hurricanes last year's Champi into

1888
01:38:07,027 --> 01:38:10,107
Speaker 2: zero to two. The Chiefs are looking very good. There's

1889
01:38:10,147 --> 01:38:12,747
Speaker 2: lots to like about Super Rugby at the moment. If

1890
01:38:12,787 --> 01:38:14,507
Speaker 2: you want to jump aboard with a comment or two,

1891
01:38:14,947 --> 01:38:18,507
Speaker 2: particularly those of you in Highlanders country who maybe have

1892
01:38:18,707 --> 01:38:21,827
Speaker 2: been starved of the opportunity to do so in recent years,

1893
01:38:22,147 --> 01:38:26,827
Speaker 2: take advantage eight hundred and eighty ten eighty two twenty two. Unfortunately,

1894
01:38:28,027 --> 01:38:30,587
Speaker 2: the All Black Sevens have lost to Spain for the

1895
01:38:30,747 --> 01:38:34,667
Speaker 2: third time in succession. They have gone down in their

1896
01:38:34,747 --> 01:38:40,227
Speaker 2: quarterfinal at the Vancouver Sevens and extra time twelve points

1897
01:38:40,307 --> 01:38:45,187
Speaker 2: to seven. The All Black seven scored early or they

1898
01:38:45,267 --> 01:38:48,227
Speaker 2: scored the first try and with seven nell ahead at halftime,

1899
01:38:48,827 --> 01:38:52,427
Speaker 2: Spain scored right at the end of the second half

1900
01:38:52,827 --> 01:38:56,187
Speaker 2: to take it into extra time and then found another try.

1901
01:38:56,387 --> 01:38:59,907
Speaker 2: So for the third time in three meetings, the All

1902
01:38:59,947 --> 01:39:03,347
Speaker 2: Black Sevens have been beaten by Spain and knocked out

1903
01:39:03,387 --> 01:39:06,147
Speaker 2: in the quarterfinals of the Vancouver sevens our Blackverurann and

1904
01:39:06,147 --> 01:39:09,027
Speaker 2: sees Evans play their quarter final a little bit later

1905
01:39:09,147 --> 01:39:13,707
Speaker 2: on this afternoon. They've been much better than the men's sight,

1906
01:39:14,547 --> 01:39:16,587
Speaker 2: not just at this tournament but across the series really.

1907
01:39:16,987 --> 01:39:20,227
Speaker 2: They will take on Canada in their quarter final. That

1908
01:39:20,347 --> 01:39:23,947
Speaker 2: game is scheduled to kick off at five thirty eight

1909
01:39:24,467 --> 01:39:30,147
Speaker 2: this afternoon. Fin Hurley reminds me, says MRC of Terry

1910
01:39:30,227 --> 01:39:32,427
Speaker 2: Wright running down the wing in a coat of armor.

1911
01:39:33,187 --> 01:39:35,227
Speaker 2: Gee similar to I mean Terry Wright was seventy five

1912
01:39:35,307 --> 01:39:38,347
Speaker 2: kilos tripping where wasn't he? Good to know that there's

1913
01:39:38,347 --> 01:39:43,547
Speaker 2: still a place for that physical stature in super rugby

1914
01:39:43,627 --> 01:39:45,747
Speaker 2: these days? To twenty four ER one hundred and eighty

1915
01:39:45,787 --> 01:39:47,347
Speaker 2: ten eighty if you want to talk some super rugby

1916
01:39:47,427 --> 01:39:49,187
Speaker 2: with us back after this on Weekend Sport.

1917
01:39:49,707 --> 01:39:53,627
Speaker 1: It's more than just a game. Weekend Sport with Jason

1918
01:39:53,707 --> 01:39:56,987
Speaker 1: Tyne and GJ. Garnomes, New Zealand's.

1919
01:39:56,587 --> 01:40:00,027
Speaker 2: Most trusted home builder News Dogs n B two twenty six.

1920
01:40:00,147 --> 01:40:03,027
Speaker 2: Johnny's texted and finally long suffering Highlanders fan here last

1921
01:40:03,107 --> 01:40:06,907
Speaker 2: night was so good. Finn Hurley reminds me of Blair

1922
01:40:07,707 --> 01:40:12,667
Speaker 2: back in the day. Yes, similar stature, Thanks Johnny, Apartahammer

1923
01:40:12,707 --> 01:40:14,667
Speaker 2: says Poney. I think Spain are going to the twenty

1924
01:40:14,747 --> 01:40:16,827
Speaker 2: twenty seven Rugby World Cup as well, so they're going

1925
01:40:16,867 --> 01:40:17,747
Speaker 2: well at both levels.

1926
01:40:18,267 --> 01:40:18,467
Speaker 15: Yeah.

1927
01:40:18,507 --> 01:40:22,387
Speaker 2: I mean they've obviously through sevens have found a pathway

1928
01:40:22,467 --> 01:40:25,187
Speaker 2: to success at fifteen's, which I guess is in many

1929
01:40:25,267 --> 01:40:27,987
Speaker 2: ways the point of it all, isn't it that you know,

1930
01:40:28,067 --> 01:40:30,787
Speaker 2: if you're going to improve as a rugby nation, you

1931
01:40:30,907 --> 01:40:33,987
Speaker 2: probably start with your sevens program, you know, get used

1932
01:40:33,987 --> 01:40:35,507
Speaker 2: to the catch pass kick sort of thing, not so

1933
01:40:35,587 --> 01:40:37,467
Speaker 2: much kick but the other parts of it, and then

1934
01:40:37,787 --> 01:40:39,867
Speaker 2: maybe buildia fifteen's program. I wasn't aware they were going

1935
01:40:39,907 --> 01:40:43,187
Speaker 2: to the twenty twenty seven Rugby World Cup, so well

1936
01:40:43,307 --> 01:40:47,787
Speaker 2: on Spain in a country that's besotted with football. Good

1937
01:40:47,827 --> 01:40:49,947
Speaker 2: to know that rugby is getting a bit of cut through.

1938
01:40:50,467 --> 01:40:52,387
Speaker 2: Just before we move on, Jordan Seeing a Message and

1939
01:40:52,627 --> 01:40:55,867
Speaker 2: Pony are taught Luke Brooks Smith as a year nine

1940
01:40:55,947 --> 01:40:59,867
Speaker 2: students in pe at Cambridge High School. We talked about

1941
01:40:59,907 --> 01:41:02,627
Speaker 2: Luke brook Smith before two o'clock with James mcconey. He

1942
01:41:02,667 --> 01:41:05,987
Speaker 2: came off the bench for the Phoenix yesterday and scored

1943
01:41:06,427 --> 01:41:08,467
Speaker 2: the Phoenix's goal in their six to one defeat. He

1944
01:41:08,707 --> 01:41:12,707
Speaker 2: is by about two years the youngest ever goalscorer for

1945
01:41:12,827 --> 01:41:15,107
Speaker 2: Wellington Phoenix, and aw she scored on his mum's birthday.

1946
01:41:15,467 --> 01:41:18,267
Speaker 2: Jordan goes on to say I taught him as a

1947
01:41:18,347 --> 01:41:22,347
Speaker 2: Ye nine student at Cambridge High School. Supremely talented athlete,

1948
01:41:22,507 --> 01:41:26,427
Speaker 2: rapid speed, amazing hand eye coordination and was like a

1949
01:41:26,507 --> 01:41:29,347
Speaker 2: man amongst boys in bosth sports, so it didn't surprise

1950
01:41:29,467 --> 01:41:32,547
Speaker 2: me he went pro at the age of fifteen sixteen.

1951
01:41:33,067 --> 01:41:35,507
Speaker 2: I think he was a five time junior BMX world

1952
01:41:35,587 --> 01:41:38,147
Speaker 2: champion as well. But a lovely kid, very humble and

1953
01:41:38,267 --> 01:41:40,827
Speaker 2: great to see these types of kids making the big time.

1954
01:41:41,227 --> 01:41:43,587
Speaker 2: I hope he continues to get game time, Jordan. I

1955
01:41:43,667 --> 01:41:48,347
Speaker 2: think he will because for me, Luke brook Smith was

1956
01:41:48,427 --> 01:41:51,947
Speaker 2: the one bright spark in that team yesterday and that

1957
01:41:52,027 --> 01:41:54,347
Speaker 2: actually says something about a team when a sixteen year

1958
01:41:54,387 --> 01:41:57,427
Speaker 2: old has to come off the bench and provide your spark.

1959
01:41:59,547 --> 01:42:02,187
Speaker 2: I think he's got a big future in the game,

1960
01:42:02,387 --> 01:42:04,827
Speaker 2: Luke brook Smith, and great to see him score his

1961
01:42:04,907 --> 01:42:09,547
Speaker 2: first goal yesterday on his mum's birthday. Steve says, Terry right,

1962
01:42:09,827 --> 01:42:11,827
Speaker 2: there's a name from the past. He was made of rubber,

1963
01:42:12,227 --> 01:42:15,627
Speaker 2: he'd gets smashed and bounce up as though nothing had happened.

1964
01:42:15,907 --> 01:42:18,067
Speaker 2: I wondered with a guy like Terry Wright would survive

1965
01:42:18,147 --> 01:42:22,307
Speaker 2: these days, but afin early can and Terry Wright probably can.

1966
01:42:22,427 --> 01:42:26,507
Speaker 2: Two twenty nine the black Caps Champions Trophy action again

1967
01:42:26,587 --> 01:42:29,867
Speaker 2: tomorrow night, ten o'clock New Zealand time. They played Bangladesh

1968
01:42:30,347 --> 01:42:33,187
Speaker 2: in rabel Pindi. This after they're winning their first PAUL

1969
01:42:33,227 --> 01:42:34,187
Speaker 2: match against Pakistan.

1970
01:42:36,587 --> 01:42:36,907
Speaker 17: That's it.

1971
01:42:37,707 --> 01:42:38,387
Speaker 2: It's all over.

1972
01:42:39,147 --> 01:42:43,587
Speaker 7: Henry does the job and New Zealand win this match

1973
01:42:43,707 --> 01:42:46,067
Speaker 7: convincingly by sixty runs.

1974
01:42:46,747 --> 01:42:48,387
Speaker 3: It's been a polished performance.

1975
01:42:48,427 --> 01:42:50,747
Speaker 2: Certainly was good first up win for the black Caps

1976
01:42:50,867 --> 01:42:54,707
Speaker 2: over Pakistan at the Champions Trophy. Captain Mitch Sentner joins

1977
01:42:54,787 --> 01:42:57,427
Speaker 2: us on Weekend Sport. Mitch, congrats on the first up win.

1978
01:42:57,507 --> 01:43:00,747
Speaker 2: What pleased you the most against your victory over Pakistan

1979
01:43:00,827 --> 01:43:01,707
Speaker 2: in your first PAUL game.

1980
01:43:02,747 --> 01:43:04,747
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I think we'll obviously talk about what

1981
01:43:04,827 --> 01:43:06,707
Speaker 7: the bat as trying to build part of it ships,

1982
01:43:06,747 --> 01:43:11,107
Speaker 7: and yeah, I think the way Youngie and Tommy went

1983
01:43:11,147 --> 01:43:15,867
Speaker 7: about it, two guys who, yeah, you know, played extremely

1984
01:43:15,947 --> 01:43:18,867
Speaker 7: well and then you know kind of you can kind

1985
01:43:18,867 --> 01:43:20,387
Speaker 7: of set up that kind of the back end of

1986
01:43:20,427 --> 01:43:23,107
Speaker 7: your innings to get you know, and then let GP

1987
01:43:23,307 --> 01:43:25,227
Speaker 7: do his thing and we got you know three twenty

1988
01:43:25,227 --> 01:43:28,627
Speaker 7: which was probably over par on that wicket. And then yeah,

1989
01:43:28,627 --> 01:43:30,027
Speaker 7: I think the first ten I was with the ball

1990
01:43:30,147 --> 01:43:32,067
Speaker 7: was probably the best I've seen for a while of

1991
01:43:32,427 --> 01:43:33,387
Speaker 7: guys just been able.

1992
01:43:33,227 --> 01:43:36,067
Speaker 3: To smash a length for a long time and put

1993
01:43:36,067 --> 01:43:36,747
Speaker 3: them under pressure.

1994
01:43:37,267 --> 01:43:40,267
Speaker 2: Were you at all concerned at seventy three for three?

1995
01:43:44,867 --> 01:43:47,587
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, you know, we I think the key

1996
01:43:47,707 --> 01:43:50,507
Speaker 7: and one Day cricket is tried chip wickets out through

1997
01:43:50,547 --> 01:43:52,307
Speaker 7: the middle and Pakistan Lay would do that in the

1998
01:43:52,387 --> 01:43:55,547
Speaker 7: top as well, and but I think it shows, especially

1999
01:43:55,587 --> 01:43:57,227
Speaker 7: in these wickets, if you can kind of soak it

2000
01:43:57,307 --> 01:43:59,107
Speaker 7: up for a little bit of time, it does get easier.

2001
01:43:59,187 --> 01:44:01,387
Speaker 7: That you know we always talk about with the ball

2002
01:44:01,427 --> 01:44:03,547
Speaker 7: on the flip side is you know, if we can

2003
01:44:03,627 --> 01:44:05,867
Speaker 7: get poles, it's trying to make it as hard as

2004
01:44:05,947 --> 01:44:08,027
Speaker 7: it can for the new guy coming in and really

2005
01:44:08,027 --> 01:44:10,667
Speaker 7: squeezing them. So I think the way Young and Tommy

2006
01:44:10,707 --> 01:44:13,867
Speaker 7: were able to withstand that, you know, that that pressure

2007
01:44:14,027 --> 01:44:15,827
Speaker 7: and then and then put it back on to Buckstan

2008
01:44:15,947 --> 01:44:18,427
Speaker 7: and then and then set us up for for you know,

2009
01:44:18,467 --> 01:44:20,067
Speaker 7: a big finish was outstanding.

2010
01:44:20,347 --> 01:44:21,747
Speaker 2: I guess you might find yourself with a bit of

2011
01:44:21,787 --> 01:44:24,027
Speaker 2: a selection come under them A nice one, I might say,

2012
01:44:24,467 --> 01:44:27,427
Speaker 2: if rightche and Ravendra is fit to come back into

2013
01:44:27,507 --> 01:44:31,187
Speaker 2: selection contention with Will Young obviously scoring one hundred, Devin

2014
01:44:31,227 --> 01:44:34,427
Speaker 2: Conway's got runs recently, how do you go about, you know,

2015
01:44:35,187 --> 01:44:37,707
Speaker 2: working through selection issues like those.

2016
01:44:40,347 --> 01:44:42,787
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's definitely a headache, but a good one. I

2017
01:44:42,867 --> 01:44:46,747
Speaker 7: mean it's, you know, guys are obviously both boys are

2018
01:44:46,787 --> 01:44:49,507
Speaker 7: in form. Yeah, I think we'll wait and see how

2019
01:44:50,227 --> 01:44:52,547
Speaker 7: our rotchen I guess gets through this train. Son Alreaty

2020
01:44:52,587 --> 01:44:54,987
Speaker 7: seems to be doing a lot better, but I guess

2021
01:44:55,347 --> 01:44:58,107
Speaker 7: intensity kind of net session to see how he's trucking.

2022
01:44:58,187 --> 01:45:00,467
Speaker 7: And then again look at the pitch. It might be,

2023
01:45:01,227 --> 01:45:03,507
Speaker 7: you know, a similar makeup to Karachi, but we'll wait

2024
01:45:03,507 --> 01:45:05,947
Speaker 7: and see. It could be a slightly different wicket. And

2025
01:45:06,667 --> 01:45:08,987
Speaker 7: so I guess we've got a few options to think about.

2026
01:45:09,067 --> 01:45:11,027
Speaker 7: But I think it's I guess it's always a good thing,

2027
01:45:11,107 --> 01:45:13,307
Speaker 7: but I mean it's there is going to be a

2028
01:45:13,427 --> 01:45:16,227
Speaker 7: hard conversation to have with someone, and it's it's never

2029
01:45:16,307 --> 01:45:18,907
Speaker 7: an easy, easy decision or easy job to have. But

2030
01:45:19,467 --> 01:45:22,307
Speaker 7: it means I guess the guys are stepping up when

2031
01:45:22,307 --> 01:45:23,867
Speaker 7: they get the opportunity. That's all you can ask for.

2032
01:45:24,107 --> 01:45:27,547
Speaker 2: Indeed, Yeah, Robill Pindy, that's where the Bangladesh game is.

2033
01:45:27,867 --> 01:45:29,747
Speaker 2: Have you got any clue as to how that wicket

2034
01:45:29,867 --> 01:45:31,987
Speaker 2: might play? Have you got any intel? I don't even

2035
01:45:32,107 --> 01:45:33,267
Speaker 2: have you ever even played there.

2036
01:45:35,107 --> 01:45:38,267
Speaker 7: I've never played there, but yeah, it's usually it's husually

2037
01:45:38,427 --> 01:45:42,507
Speaker 7: very flat. It kind of it doesn't tend to have

2038
01:45:42,587 --> 01:45:45,827
Speaker 7: much grasp but kind of holds together pretty well. So

2039
01:45:46,427 --> 01:45:49,747
Speaker 7: traditionally it's it's generally quite high scoring and doesn't offer

2040
01:45:49,787 --> 01:45:52,907
Speaker 7: a lot. So I guess that's the case. We'll wait

2041
01:45:52,947 --> 01:45:55,187
Speaker 7: to see, but yeah, I think we want to kind

2042
01:45:55,187 --> 01:45:58,307
Speaker 7: of we'll probably have a look the day before and

2043
01:45:58,387 --> 01:46:00,147
Speaker 7: so you see what it looks like. But I think,

2044
01:46:00,227 --> 01:46:02,547
Speaker 7: you know, it kind of brings it back to what

2045
01:46:02,587 --> 01:46:04,507
Speaker 7: we want to focus on and what the things that

2046
01:46:04,587 --> 01:46:07,667
Speaker 7: we've been doing well. When Bangladesha a very good side

2047
01:46:07,667 --> 01:46:11,067
Speaker 7: on their day and we'll probably come quite hard knowing

2048
01:46:11,107 --> 01:46:12,627
Speaker 7: that it is going to be quite flat. So I

2049
01:46:12,707 --> 01:46:15,747
Speaker 7: think if we can kind of stick to those hardlings

2050
01:46:15,787 --> 01:46:18,627
Speaker 7: that we've been operating so well on, we'll put us in.

2051
01:46:18,627 --> 01:46:19,107
Speaker 3: A good spot.

2052
01:46:19,667 --> 01:46:22,387
Speaker 2: So in the Pakistan game, twenty nine of your forty

2053
01:46:22,427 --> 01:46:25,147
Speaker 2: seven point two overs were bowled by spinners. Is that

2054
01:46:25,267 --> 01:46:28,547
Speaker 2: a trend we're likely to see continue? Do you think.

2055
01:46:30,787 --> 01:46:34,227
Speaker 7: I think we found in Karachi it was you know,

2056
01:46:34,307 --> 01:46:36,147
Speaker 7: it was probably slightly slow than we thought it would be.

2057
01:46:36,187 --> 01:46:38,707
Speaker 7: That picture looked like I had a little bit more

2058
01:46:38,707 --> 01:46:40,907
Speaker 7: grass than the ones we played on previously, but it

2059
01:46:40,987 --> 01:46:43,707
Speaker 7: actually spun, which was nice. I think it's I think

2060
01:46:43,907 --> 01:46:47,107
Speaker 7: having options, you know, like we've still got three seamers

2061
01:46:47,147 --> 01:46:49,747
Speaker 7: there where if it was a bit you know, just

2062
01:46:49,787 --> 01:46:51,267
Speaker 7: getting on bit more, it might have been more of

2063
01:46:51,627 --> 01:46:54,547
Speaker 7: Nathan Smith. But it's I guess it's nice having Glenn

2064
01:46:54,667 --> 01:46:58,427
Speaker 7: and Jeep and Bracewell there if they do have left

2065
01:46:58,467 --> 01:47:00,987
Speaker 7: handers where we can spin it. And then I guess

2066
01:47:00,987 --> 01:47:03,867
Speaker 7: if Russians fit and bowling, well that's an option there

2067
01:47:03,867 --> 01:47:06,587
Speaker 7: as well for us, if they do have two more rights.

2068
01:47:06,667 --> 01:47:09,827
Speaker 3: But I think it's I think it shows the squad

2069
01:47:09,867 --> 01:47:10,227
Speaker 3: we've got.

2070
01:47:10,267 --> 01:47:12,187
Speaker 7: We've got options for if it is flat, if it

2071
01:47:12,267 --> 01:47:15,107
Speaker 7: is spinning, and I think, you know, Pindi is going

2072
01:47:15,147 --> 01:47:17,347
Speaker 7: to be different again to do buy, which again looked

2073
01:47:17,387 --> 01:47:19,227
Speaker 7: like it was slightly slow as well.

2074
01:47:19,427 --> 01:47:22,507
Speaker 2: And Kyle Jamison's joined you in place of a lockey Ferguson,

2075
01:47:22,547 --> 01:47:25,387
Speaker 2: which was unfortunate to see him ruled out through injury.

2076
01:47:25,707 --> 01:47:27,947
Speaker 2: Has Kyle had enough time in camp to be considered

2077
01:47:27,987 --> 01:47:28,547
Speaker 2: for selection.

2078
01:47:30,867 --> 01:47:33,147
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, well, he met us, he met us

2079
01:47:33,187 --> 01:47:36,707
Speaker 7: here and I guess coming off a four trophy where

2080
01:47:36,707 --> 01:47:41,787
Speaker 7: he bowled, you know, Baltimore. I think he's obviously on

2081
01:47:41,867 --> 01:47:43,747
Speaker 7: a strict kind of loading plan, but I think he's

2082
01:47:44,547 --> 01:47:47,707
Speaker 7: he'll be ready for selections that first game obviously get through.

2083
01:47:48,107 --> 01:47:50,227
Speaker 7: We've got a training later on tonight to see if

2084
01:47:50,227 --> 01:47:52,027
Speaker 7: he gets through a few hours tonight, you know, and

2085
01:47:52,067 --> 01:47:54,907
Speaker 7: then I guess we'll wait and see what the pitch

2086
01:47:54,987 --> 01:47:56,627
Speaker 7: looks like and whether it is I guess a three

2087
01:47:56,707 --> 01:48:00,467
Speaker 7: scene wicket again or I can't man, it's going to

2088
01:48:00,467 --> 01:48:01,787
Speaker 7: be more than three, but it could be less.

2089
01:48:04,067 --> 01:48:05,467
Speaker 2: It's spoken like a true spinner.

2090
01:48:05,707 --> 01:48:08,027
Speaker 10: I love I love it.

2091
01:48:08,547 --> 01:48:11,627
Speaker 2: Just on your captaincy much. You know, you're still relatively

2092
01:48:11,667 --> 01:48:14,707
Speaker 2: early in your captaincy career, particularly around the fifty over team.

2093
01:48:14,747 --> 01:48:16,347
Speaker 2: You've obviously done it quite often in the in the

2094
01:48:16,387 --> 01:48:18,987
Speaker 2: T twenty stuff. What have been the main qualities you've

2095
01:48:18,987 --> 01:48:21,187
Speaker 2: looked to bring to the leadership of this ODI team.

2096
01:48:24,867 --> 01:48:26,907
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess that's for other people to say, But

2097
01:48:27,107 --> 01:48:30,027
Speaker 7: I think for me, it's just trying to trying to

2098
01:48:30,067 --> 01:48:32,467
Speaker 7: make it like quite of a relaxed environment. Try to

2099
01:48:32,587 --> 01:48:35,947
Speaker 7: quitely relaxed in the middle, give the guys the you know,

2100
01:48:36,027 --> 01:48:38,707
Speaker 7: the clear headspace that they need to go there and perform,

2101
01:48:39,347 --> 01:48:41,667
Speaker 7: especially the bowlers. I'm not going to tell them to

2102
01:48:41,707 --> 01:48:44,147
Speaker 7: do anything you know, they don't want to do. It's

2103
01:48:44,187 --> 01:48:47,587
Speaker 7: about being clear planned and it's then it's just about

2104
01:48:47,627 --> 01:48:50,867
Speaker 7: an execution game. And if you miss it, that's your

2105
01:48:50,987 --> 01:48:52,667
Speaker 7: human nature. You know that's going to happen. But as

2106
01:48:52,707 --> 01:48:55,987
Speaker 7: long as where you know, you're not clouded with different

2107
01:48:56,027 --> 01:48:58,747
Speaker 7: thoughts and yeah, trying to just trying to make an

2108
01:48:58,827 --> 01:49:01,387
Speaker 7: enjoyable space for people to go.

2109
01:49:01,507 --> 01:49:02,667
Speaker 3: Show the show their skills.

2110
01:49:03,027 --> 01:49:03,787
Speaker 2: Are you enjoying it?

2111
01:49:05,947 --> 01:49:11,067
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's a different challenge, but I am. It's Yeah,

2112
01:49:11,107 --> 01:49:13,627
Speaker 7: it's definitely a different, different way to go about it.

2113
01:49:13,707 --> 01:49:16,867
Speaker 7: But I think it's you know, again, you can kind

2114
01:49:16,907 --> 01:49:20,627
Speaker 7: of remove yourself at times, but I think for me,

2115
01:49:20,707 --> 01:49:23,347
Speaker 7: it's still trying to be connected to the group is

2116
01:49:23,987 --> 01:49:26,307
Speaker 7: as much as I can and everyone in it. I

2117
01:49:26,387 --> 01:49:30,467
Speaker 7: think communication is still a massive part of this role.

2118
01:49:31,067 --> 01:49:33,907
Speaker 7: It's making you know, everyone feel but they're part of

2119
01:49:33,947 --> 01:49:35,787
Speaker 7: it going forward, and even if it as guys on

2120
01:49:36,147 --> 01:49:39,467
Speaker 7: the outer side, is still staying connected and still making

2121
01:49:39,547 --> 01:49:42,347
Speaker 7: people feel, you know, they're part of the plan or

2122
01:49:42,387 --> 01:49:43,347
Speaker 7: the purpose going forward.

2123
01:49:43,947 --> 01:49:46,187
Speaker 2: How helpful was it to the team to have some

2124
01:49:46,307 --> 01:49:48,347
Speaker 2: warm up games, you know, the tri series and then

2125
01:49:48,387 --> 01:49:50,587
Speaker 2: the extra game ahead of ahead of the start of

2126
01:49:50,587 --> 01:49:51,467
Speaker 2: the Champions Trophy.

2127
01:49:53,547 --> 01:49:56,147
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, you know, I guess you want to

2128
01:49:56,227 --> 01:49:59,147
Speaker 7: test yourself in the conditions that you're likely to play under.

2129
01:49:59,187 --> 01:50:01,427
Speaker 7: And I think we've been lucky enough to play box

2130
01:50:01,547 --> 01:50:03,187
Speaker 7: done a lot over the last few years. But I

2131
01:50:03,267 --> 01:50:05,667
Speaker 7: guess playing in Karachi, where we're going to you know,

2132
01:50:05,787 --> 01:50:07,587
Speaker 7: play that for this game was it was I guess

2133
01:50:07,587 --> 01:50:09,787
Speaker 7: it was more of an understanding of how to operate

2134
01:50:09,867 --> 01:50:11,427
Speaker 7: on those wickets.

2135
01:50:12,067 --> 01:50:12,187
Speaker 3: You know.

2136
01:50:12,267 --> 01:50:14,387
Speaker 7: We talked about the seams bowling a little bit shorter

2137
01:50:14,507 --> 01:50:16,427
Speaker 7: than you probably do back home, just with the lack

2138
01:50:16,507 --> 01:50:19,547
Speaker 7: of bounce in it's you know, and then the obviously

2139
01:50:19,827 --> 01:50:21,307
Speaker 7: there was a little bit more spin. And I guess

2140
01:50:21,387 --> 01:50:25,267
Speaker 7: the guys will you could be a factor, So I think,

2141
01:50:25,307 --> 01:50:28,827
Speaker 7: you know, getting the games in I guess needing in it.

2142
01:50:28,867 --> 01:50:30,987
Speaker 7: There's probably more I guess confidence for the boys as

2143
01:50:30,987 --> 01:50:32,867
Speaker 7: well that knowing that we can do, we can beat

2144
01:50:33,467 --> 01:50:35,667
Speaker 7: Buckstani's conditions, and then we went out there with that

2145
01:50:35,787 --> 01:50:37,107
Speaker 7: kind of freedom to do that again.

2146
01:50:37,867 --> 01:50:39,947
Speaker 2: And do you think Glenn Phillips could have caught that

2147
01:50:40,107 --> 01:50:41,187
Speaker 2: catch with two hands?

2148
01:50:44,907 --> 01:50:47,107
Speaker 7: Probably don't have to jump high off the ground as

2149
01:50:47,147 --> 01:50:49,987
Speaker 7: he did, but he does. We we we call it

2150
01:50:50,267 --> 01:50:53,427
Speaker 7: adding mayo, so he loves adding mayo to fur of

2151
01:50:53,507 --> 01:50:57,307
Speaker 7: his catches and stuff. But yeah, I think what we found.

2152
01:50:57,347 --> 01:51:00,587
Speaker 7: I guess those fish and on these kind of flatter

2153
01:51:00,627 --> 01:51:03,027
Speaker 7: wickets where you know you do get those half chances

2154
01:51:03,107 --> 01:51:04,027
Speaker 7: can really turn games.

2155
01:51:04,067 --> 01:51:05,987
Speaker 3: And I think Glenn is one of the best of that.

2156
01:51:06,427 --> 01:51:09,507
Speaker 7: If there is a half chances, he's always there and

2157
01:51:09,627 --> 01:51:11,947
Speaker 7: he's he's always wanted to die for it.

2158
01:51:12,347 --> 01:51:15,307
Speaker 2: Indeed, may there be a lot more mayo from Glenn

2159
01:51:15,347 --> 01:51:17,107
Speaker 2: Philips and from the rest of the team as well.

2160
01:51:17,227 --> 01:51:18,827
Speaker 2: Much great to chat mate. Congrats on the first up

2161
01:51:18,867 --> 01:51:21,627
Speaker 2: one't all the best against Bangladesh Monday night. We'll be

2162
01:51:21,707 --> 01:51:22,507
Speaker 2: watching from back home.

2163
01:51:22,747 --> 01:51:23,907
Speaker 3: Thanks Matte, Thank you much.

2164
01:51:23,987 --> 01:51:27,267
Speaker 2: Mitch Santa there captain of our white ball cricket teams

2165
01:51:28,027 --> 01:51:31,627
Speaker 2: so Champions Trophy, Game two of three in Paul play

2166
01:51:31,627 --> 01:51:34,307
Speaker 2: for New Zealand Bangladesh tomorrow night ten o'clock New Zealand time.

2167
01:51:34,667 --> 01:51:37,467
Speaker 2: The other two teams in our group, Pakistan and India,

2168
01:51:37,587 --> 01:51:40,467
Speaker 2: play tonight. Unfortunately, that games in Dubai would have been

2169
01:51:40,507 --> 01:51:41,947
Speaker 2: nice to be in Pakistan, but I think we want

2170
01:51:41,987 --> 01:51:44,747
Speaker 2: to the reasons behind that anyway, What I guess we

2171
01:51:44,827 --> 01:51:46,587
Speaker 2: want to happen in that game is for India to

2172
01:51:46,627 --> 01:51:51,107
Speaker 2: beat Pakistan. That would give Pakistan two losses and would

2173
01:51:51,147 --> 01:51:53,267
Speaker 2: mean that if New Zealand beat Bangladesh they would be

2174
01:51:53,387 --> 01:51:56,547
Speaker 2: confirmed in the semi finals. Even if Pakistan were to

2175
01:51:56,587 --> 01:51:59,587
Speaker 2: beat India and New Zealand beat Bangladesh, we'd still be

2176
01:51:59,587 --> 01:52:02,427
Speaker 2: in a pretty good position. But I guess all things

2177
01:52:02,467 --> 01:52:04,707
Speaker 2: being equal, you want India to beat Pakistan. You want

2178
01:52:04,787 --> 01:52:07,587
Speaker 2: us to beat Bangladesh. In the US and India are

2179
01:52:07,627 --> 01:52:11,387
Speaker 2: into the semis before we play one another, and that

2180
01:52:11,627 --> 01:52:15,227
Speaker 2: game is next Sunday night, the second of March, next

2181
01:52:15,267 --> 01:52:19,907
Speaker 2: Sunday night, by which stage it potentially could be irrelevant

2182
01:52:19,947 --> 01:52:22,307
Speaker 2: in terms of the result, apart from, of course getting

2183
01:52:22,307 --> 01:52:25,907
Speaker 2: a bit of momentum heading into the semi finals. Last night,

2184
01:52:26,667 --> 01:52:29,187
Speaker 2: England and Australia played out a wee doozy over seven

2185
01:52:29,307 --> 01:52:32,107
Speaker 2: hundred runs England three point fifty one for eight in

2186
01:52:32,187 --> 01:52:36,227
Speaker 2: their fifty overs, Australia chasing it down with a couple

2187
01:52:36,267 --> 01:52:39,187
Speaker 2: of overs to spare three fifty six for five. We

2188
01:52:39,307 --> 01:52:42,107
Speaker 2: heard Josh English during in case you missed it with

2189
01:52:42,147 --> 01:52:44,787
Speaker 2: his one hundred and twenty nine out of eighty six balls,

2190
01:52:44,827 --> 01:52:47,707
Speaker 2: which was a big part of getting Australia home. In

01:55:01,387 --> 01:55:04,467
Speaker 13: you know, hopefully this year can sort of put my

2233
01:55:04,587 --> 01:55:08,627
Speaker 13: best foot forward and you know, finished top twenty four

2234

Speaker 13: myself like another year, So yeah, we need to we

2236
01:55:14,107 --> 01:55:15,067
Speaker 13: need to play for this year.

2237
01:55:15,467 --> 01:55:17,787
Speaker 2: You played a couple of love tournaments so far already

2238
01:55:17,867 --> 01:55:19,747
Speaker 2: this year area that was under lights?

2239
01:55:19,787 --> 01:55:20,387
Speaker 6: What was that like?

2240
01:55:21,507 --> 01:55:23,467
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was good. I enjoyed it.

2241
01:55:23,587 --> 01:55:25,667
Speaker 13: Sort of took it obviously, took a couple of days

2242
01:55:25,707 --> 01:55:28,067
Speaker 13: to get used to playing at the lights. It was

2243
01:55:28,107 --> 01:55:30,987
Speaker 13: my first time, but yeah, I think by the end

2244
01:55:31,027 --> 01:55:33,547
Speaker 13: of the week it was it was a really cool experience.

2245
01:55:33,667 --> 01:55:38,387
Speaker 13: And yeah, you know it was still you know, the

2246
01:55:38,427 --> 01:55:41,307
Speaker 13: same golf course and of course I played a lot, but.

2247
01:55:41,827 --> 01:55:43,387
Speaker 10: Yeah, I really enjoyed it.

2248
01:55:43,787 --> 01:55:45,507
Speaker 2: What were the main adjustments you had to make?

2249
01:55:47,827 --> 01:55:50,187
Speaker 13: Not so right that the lighting on the around the

2250
01:55:50,307 --> 01:55:52,187
Speaker 13: putting green was really good. I thought that was going

2251
01:55:52,267 --> 01:55:53,987
Speaker 13: to be the trickiest sort of reading the slopes and

2252
01:55:54,027 --> 01:55:56,467
Speaker 13: things like that. It was more probably just like the

2253
01:55:56,627 --> 01:55:59,187
Speaker 13: longer clubs off the fiaway, sort of like a three

2254
01:55:59,467 --> 01:56:01,747
Speaker 13: off or a long iron, like a three iron off

2255
01:56:01,787 --> 01:56:05,307
Speaker 13: the fairway is probably what I found the trickiest. But

2256
01:56:05,427 --> 01:56:07,387
Speaker 13: then yeah, by the end of the week, like the

2257
01:56:07,467 --> 01:56:09,627
Speaker 13: last round, I feel like it was it felt very

2258
01:56:09,707 --> 01:56:12,107
Speaker 13: normal to be to be playing under the lights.

2259
01:56:12,267 --> 01:56:16,227
Speaker 2: And then to Adelaide, of course, and those are the

2260
01:56:16,227 --> 01:56:18,027
Speaker 2: two you've played so far. How much do you enjoy

2261
01:56:18,147 --> 01:56:20,747
Speaker 2: that the team element of the live tour.

2262
01:56:21,787 --> 01:56:24,307
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think you know, obviously golf can be pretty

2263
01:56:24,347 --> 01:56:26,547
Speaker 13: lonely at times, and you know, you travel in the world.

2264
01:56:27,507 --> 01:56:29,667
Speaker 13: I've really enjoyed the last few weeks sort of being

2265
01:56:29,707 --> 01:56:32,347
Speaker 13: out of travel with the team, you know, a few

2266
01:56:32,427 --> 01:56:34,547
Speaker 13: dinners and things like that. Obviously you've got plenty of

2267
01:56:34,627 --> 01:56:37,627
Speaker 13: mates that you hang out on tour with. But yeah,

2268
01:56:37,787 --> 01:56:41,307
Speaker 13: it definitely throws it like a different perspective on things.

2269
01:56:41,347 --> 01:56:43,067
Speaker 13: I think, you know, it was in read on the

2270
01:56:43,187 --> 01:56:45,107
Speaker 13: last hole, I knew if I hold the put, it

2271
01:56:45,187 --> 01:56:49,867
Speaker 13: would put our team into tide second, and and that's so. Yeah,

2272
01:56:50,067 --> 01:56:52,147
Speaker 13: I think it's just it's one of those nice things

2273
01:56:52,187 --> 01:56:54,507
Speaker 13: that you know, you have a few more mates around

2274
01:56:54,627 --> 01:56:57,667
Speaker 13: and enjoy sort of those practice rounds and some good,

2275
01:56:58,147 --> 01:57:02,187
Speaker 13: good rivalry between teammates and that it's always always really good.

2276
01:57:02,467 --> 01:57:04,587
Speaker 2: Bubba Watson's your team captain, of course, what's it like

2277
01:57:04,667 --> 01:57:05,227
Speaker 2: playing with them?

2278
01:57:06,427 --> 01:57:07,267
Speaker 10: Yeah, but was awesome.

2279
01:57:07,307 --> 01:57:09,867
Speaker 13: I've I've really got to enjoyed to, you know, get

2280
01:57:09,907 --> 01:57:13,187
Speaker 13: to know Bubba over the last few weeks. And it

2281
01:57:13,227 --> 01:57:16,947
Speaker 13: started January when I got name for the team. I

2282
01:57:17,027 --> 01:57:19,787
Speaker 13: flew to America and spent some time with the team

2283
01:57:20,627 --> 01:57:22,067
Speaker 13: and you know, we played a bit of golf and

2284
01:57:22,467 --> 01:57:25,867
Speaker 13: things like that. So yeah, it's been it's been great

2285
01:57:25,867 --> 01:57:28,987
Speaker 13: getting to know Bubba and you know, to be playing

2286
01:57:29,027 --> 01:57:32,547
Speaker 13: someone you know, playing alongside someone you know is what

2287
01:57:32,707 --> 01:57:35,827
Speaker 13: he's done in golf and obviously the majors and and

2288
01:57:35,947 --> 01:57:38,427
Speaker 13: that that's it's great to be learning off someone like him.

2289
01:57:38,747 --> 01:57:40,947
Speaker 2: And fellow key we Danny Lee is on the Lift

2290
01:57:40,947 --> 01:57:43,027
Speaker 2: Tour as well. He's coming to the New Zealand Open too.

2291
01:57:43,547 --> 01:57:45,227
Speaker 2: Have you seen much of him in the last few weeks.

2292
01:57:46,587 --> 01:57:49,027
Speaker 13: Yeah, I saw obviously Danny a lot last year and

2293
01:57:49,107 --> 01:57:51,947
Speaker 13: then yeah, over the last couple of weeks. You know,

2294
01:57:52,027 --> 01:57:54,827
Speaker 13: there's only fifty four players out there, so yeah, you

2295
01:57:54,907 --> 01:57:57,827
Speaker 13: get to see you run a fair bit, so yeah,

2296
01:57:58,307 --> 01:57:59,667
Speaker 13: I'll see Danny a lot this year.

2297
01:58:00,267 --> 01:58:02,627
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the New Zealand Open. First

2298
01:58:02,667 --> 01:58:04,267
Speaker 2: of all, the strength of the field. How do you

2299
01:58:04,347 --> 01:58:05,947
Speaker 2: assess how strong this field is?

2300
01:58:06,947 --> 01:58:08,947
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think it's a really good field. You know,

2301
01:58:09,067 --> 01:58:12,067
Speaker 13: obviously Danny was a great uh he got called.

2302
01:58:11,867 --> 01:58:15,347
Speaker 16: In pretty late, and then you know, Lucas Herbert.

2303
01:58:15,667 --> 01:58:17,427
Speaker 13: You know, it's it's a really it's great to see

2304
01:58:17,427 --> 01:58:19,027
Speaker 13: a lot of the Asian Tour players coming down.

2305
01:58:19,107 --> 01:58:22,347
Speaker 10: Said it's you know it's co sanctioned with the.

2306
01:58:22,387 --> 01:58:25,587
Speaker 13: Aussie Tour and the Asian Tour, so yeah, you've got

2307
01:58:25,587 --> 01:58:27,427
Speaker 13: a really strong field coming down from Asia.

2308
01:58:28,667 --> 01:58:30,227
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's obviously great.

2309
01:58:30,307 --> 01:58:30,907
Speaker 10: I love playing.

2310
01:58:31,427 --> 01:58:32,707
Speaker 13: You know, when you can sleep in your own bed

2311
01:58:32,747 --> 01:58:35,827
Speaker 13: and play at golf tournament, it's pretty amazing. So yeah,

2312
01:58:35,867 --> 01:58:37,707
Speaker 13: I'm not really looking forward to the week. You know,

2313
01:58:37,827 --> 01:58:41,867
Speaker 13: the tournament just keeps getting stronger and stronger. The guys,

2314
01:58:41,947 --> 01:58:44,027
Speaker 13: you know, Michael Gladding and John Hard are doing such

2315
01:58:44,067 --> 01:58:46,387
Speaker 13: a great job and you know they've been growing the

2316
01:58:46,467 --> 01:58:49,267
Speaker 13: event and then you know they have the the major,

2317
01:58:49,427 --> 01:58:53,107
Speaker 13: the Open Championship spot this year. It's sort of just

2318
01:58:53,187 --> 01:58:55,267
Speaker 13: a testament to what they've what't have grown.

2319
01:58:56,227 --> 01:58:58,707
Speaker 2: You know, the courses are the two courses at Milbrook

2320
01:58:58,747 --> 01:59:00,507
Speaker 2: better than most people. So what does it take to

2321
01:59:00,987 --> 01:59:02,267
Speaker 2: play well there and to win there?

2322
01:59:03,547 --> 01:59:06,427
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's definitely a week you know, you've got to

2323
01:59:06,467 --> 01:59:09,427
Speaker 13: get the pudder, the pudder going. It's sort of it's

2324
01:59:09,467 --> 01:59:11,827
Speaker 13: definitely dried up here in the last couple of weeks

2325
01:59:11,827 --> 01:59:15,627
Speaker 13: since I since I've in a way, you know, the

2326
01:59:15,747 --> 01:59:18,227
Speaker 13: rough round Milburt was looking quite good before I went away,

2327
01:59:18,267 --> 01:59:19,707
Speaker 13: and they've just sort of had two weeks of pretty

2328
01:59:19,787 --> 01:59:22,627
Speaker 13: dry weather, so the rough's sort of not as challenging anymore.

2329
01:59:23,827 --> 01:59:26,787
Speaker 13: So Yeah, it's they get the course so pure out there,

2330
01:59:26,827 --> 01:59:29,187
Speaker 13: and it really comes down to, you know, who can

2331
01:59:29,267 --> 01:59:30,307
Speaker 13: get the pudder going the hottest.

2332
01:59:30,347 --> 01:59:32,707

Speaker 13: sort of supported me, and just.

2347
02:00:09,867 --> 02:00:11,947
Speaker 2: To zoom out again just to finish. You played the

2348
02:00:12,067 --> 02:00:14,627
Speaker 2: Open Championship in twenty twenty two. I see there are

2349
02:00:14,667 --> 02:00:18,827
Speaker 2: now more exemptions for love players to play majors. As

2350
02:00:18,867 --> 02:00:22,107
Speaker 2: playing more majors on your wish list, yeah.

2351
02:00:21,947 --> 02:00:25,387
Speaker 13: I think, you know, it's amazing. You know, I really

2352
02:00:25,507 --> 02:00:29,267
Speaker 13: enjoyed I was missed the cutout on the number at St.

2353
02:00:29,307 --> 02:00:33,587
Speaker 13: Andrews and and you know, definitely would like to get

2354
02:00:33,587 --> 02:00:37,627
Speaker 13: another chance at the Open, So yeah, it was it

2355
02:00:37,747 --> 02:00:39,667
Speaker 13: was great news. Obviously Live has been working hard to

2356
02:00:39,747 --> 02:00:43,507
Speaker 13: get these exemptions and they've got them now. I'm also

2357
02:00:43,627 --> 02:00:49,827
Speaker 13: going to play Asian, Uruman and Macau, so yeah, there

2358
02:00:49,867 --> 02:00:52,387
Speaker 13: looks like there's a few few chances for the Open,

2359
02:00:52,507 --> 02:00:55,867
Speaker 13: and yeah, I've got US Open qualifying during the year

2360
02:00:55,947 --> 02:00:58,027
Speaker 13: as well, so it would be great if I could

2361
02:00:58,307 --> 02:01:00,227
Speaker 13: get into a couple more majors this year. Would be

2362
02:01:01,027 --> 02:01:04,267
Speaker 13: would Yeah, it would really make the schedule exciting.

2363
02:01:03,947 --> 02:01:04,267
Speaker 10: For the year.

2364
02:01:04,507 --> 02:01:06,947
Speaker 2: So that just to clarify that. Then being on the

2365
02:01:07,027 --> 02:01:09,707
Speaker 2: Live Tour full time, that doesn't preclude you from playing

2366
02:01:09,747 --> 02:01:12,107
Speaker 2: other events like the ones you've you've just mentioned, you can.

2367
02:01:12,227 --> 02:01:13,827
Speaker 2: You can fit everything in that you want to.

2368
02:01:14,867 --> 02:01:15,547
Speaker 10: Yeah, definitely.

2369
02:01:15,627 --> 02:01:18,787
Speaker 13: So the Asian Tour is backed by by Live, so

2370
02:01:19,707 --> 02:01:23,307
Speaker 13: that's yeah that we have a we have the International

2371
02:01:23,427 --> 02:01:27,027
Speaker 13: Series which is part of the Asian Tour, so Live

2372
02:01:27,067 --> 02:01:29,787
Speaker 13: players have to play so many events on that tour

2373
02:01:29,867 --> 02:01:32,467
Speaker 13: as well, so I have to I have to play

2374
02:01:32,467 --> 02:01:36,867
Speaker 13: a minimum of three International Series this year. So it's

2375
02:01:36,907 --> 02:01:40,707
Speaker 13: been it's been amazing for the Asian Tour, the involvement

2376
02:01:40,747 --> 02:01:43,107
Speaker 13: would Live and how much stronger the Asian Tour has

2377
02:01:43,107 --> 02:01:45,827
Speaker 13: got over the last sort of four years. And that's

2378
02:01:45,867 --> 02:01:48,627
Speaker 13: how I got to be in the position to get

2379
02:01:48,707 --> 02:01:51,067
Speaker 13: on Live was through my play and the Asian Tour.

2380
02:01:51,227 --> 02:01:55,627
Speaker 13: So yeah, it's it's been a great you know, Asian

2381
02:01:55,667 --> 02:01:57,627
Speaker 13: two just seems to be getting stronger and stronger. And

2382
02:01:58,067 --> 02:02:01,027
Speaker 13: with the Live schedule finishes up in I think twenty

2383
02:02:01,067 --> 02:02:03,187
Speaker 13: fourth August, so I'll have a little break after that

2384
02:02:03,307 --> 02:02:05,827
Speaker 13: and then I'll play sort of the back half of

2385
02:02:05,867 --> 02:02:07,227
Speaker 13: the year on the Asian Tour as well.

2386
