1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: Good news Rugby story of the week. What have we

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: got the return of Richie Muwanga eighteen month deal, Crusaders,

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Canterbury and the All Black. So it allows him to

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: be part of the World Cup. Of course is the

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 1: key there. He's going to be back with Canterbury as

6
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: in the NPC team this time next year. Colin Mansbridge

7
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: is the Crusader Sea and as well as Colin morning morning,

8
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: very well, thank you. How individual is all of this

9
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: this is for Richie and Richie alone? Or is this

10
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: the way of the future.

11
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: I think it's a bit of the way of the future.

12
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: I think it's some you know, athletes are good enough,

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: they've sort of done their apprenticeship so to speak, if

14
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: you call it apprenticeship, made a commitment to the game,

15
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 2: and then they go and experience a bit elsewhere. I

16
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: think this is the future and it's actually probably the

17
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: past that there's heat suppliers that have done similar types

18
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: of thing.

19
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the key there is similar. It's a sabbatical.

20
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: It's a different arrangement. He seemed did he blow it?

21
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not begging him, but do you just

22
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: leave a little bit early, get a bit carried away?

23
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: With Japan and then go, oh dear, I regret it.

24
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: I'm not sure it's interesting. You know, we were talking,

25
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: say about how long he's been playing the game. Here,

26
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: there's not many first fives with one seven Super Rugby

27
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: Pacific titles, so that's a lot, and so you know,

28
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: how many more does he have to win? So you

29
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: know he's gone for experience, given its family something different. Yeah,

30
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: I think it's probably a bit more complex than that.

31
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, you've got since we last taught, you

32
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: got Rob back as well, which I think for a

33
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: while there might have been a question Michael wouldn't it.

34
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what happened last year. He I

35
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: think he appreciated the review process that we did. You know,

36
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: we said last year, look, we're in it, but it's

37
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: not things aren't going well. We're going to do this

38
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: thing properly. We'll do the review. How can we get better?

39
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: Where are the things we need to improve, and let's

40
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: get through that. And he said, look, I thought that

41
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: process was so good last year. Let's let's give it

42
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: the credit it's due and do the same thing this year.

43
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: And then of course he went through a few of

44
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: his own reflections, so you know we're pleased. Good good.

45
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: So you've got Richie and Rob. You're on a roll.

46
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: Now all you need to do is sign up the stadium.

47
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: Signed up the stadium column we have Yeah, sorry.

48
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: Well we've got an agreement in Princeville and everything, and

49
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: we're working through the final detail with venues or to

50
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: tell you. So we're just about me.

51
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: Okay, what are we going to know about that?

52
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: Well, actually, the draws due out. I think it's a

53
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: couple of weeks to grow Pacific draw all. The work

54
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: around first game in the stadium is sort of in

55
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: the sort of mid April. I think practical completion data

56
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: is eighteenth of April or that sort of date. And

57
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 2: everything's on track. So so this is one project, one

58
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: infrastructure thing, and I don't want to sell basics what pack,

59
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: but this is one infrastructure thing that's gone really, really well.

60
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: Once they were given the artist to get on.

61
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: The mucking around was no good. But once they started,

62
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: it's it's been brilliant, hasn't it.

63
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: It has been very good.

64
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Hair Good on you, mate, You have a good weekend.

65
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: Colin Man's ritue is one of my favorite people in

66
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: the whole world. So Rob Penney, Richie Muwanga got the

67
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: stadium and the ability to travel both to the future

68
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: and the past. Batter for more from the mi Asking Breakfast,
