Speaker 1: Jason Vine, News Talks.
Speaker 2: Mb Dave Renniewell announces forty four man squad for the
Speaker 2: greatest rivalry tour of South Africa starting in a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks Tomorrow afternoon at around three ish to look
Speaker 2: at whom my be added from the nation's championship squad
Speaker 2: of thirty four with assembled a panel. We've assembled a
Speaker 2: dynamic duo first all rugby writer with rugby pass Ben Smith,
Speaker 2: good afternoon.
Speaker 3: To you, Ben, good afternoon, and.
Speaker 2: Former spring box halfback and then elite rugby coach and
Speaker 2: vary astute rugby observer. Still Kevin Putt, how are you Putty? Yeah,
Speaker 2: good pony. All right. Let's assume guys, all thirty four
Speaker 2: from the nation's championship squad will be named it to
Speaker 2: South Africa, so we need to add ten more players.
Speaker 2: So let's approach this in some sort of logical fashion
Speaker 2: by working through position by position props. We have Ethan
Speaker 2: de Groot, George Bauersaving, Emir Tyrell Lomax, Fletcher Yule and
Speaker 2: Pasolio Tossi to Mighty Williams still not available, Ben, Who
Speaker 2: are you adding to the front row stocks or to
Speaker 2: the propping stocks for South Africa.
Speaker 3: I think we'll see probably a six' four, split so
Speaker 3: looking at six forwards fall back on the on the front.
Speaker 3: ROAD i think the group that we've got quite. Strong
Speaker 3: i'm not sure the status Of offer AND i think with,
Speaker 3: MYIA i think it could be a case of just
Speaker 3: who's healthy in the propping?
Speaker 2: Stocks, Yeah, Offer Toma, FASSI i don't know his LATEST
Speaker 2: i think he was in Contention, kevin for you as
Speaker 2: a guy Like Ollie norris who played a few tests
Speaker 2: off the bench last, year is he the most likely
Speaker 2: guy to come.
Speaker 4: In, yeah that's that that's got my name on it
Speaker 4: at the. Moment BUT i must be honest that these
Speaker 4: guys will be tested more in the midweek, game so
Speaker 4: you know you're looking at people that can come, in
Speaker 4: especially if people can play both. SIDES i, mean we've
Speaker 4: got to build our depths in. It that's the one
Speaker 4: thing that when we get To, africa you're just going
Speaker 4: to see that they've got such a depth of player
Speaker 4: in their front. ROW i, mean when they can play
Speaker 4: the world's best hooker off the bench every, week they're doing.
Speaker 2: Well, indeed See alilawacki's one Name i've heard thrown Around
Speaker 2: ben would he Be would he be in contention that
Speaker 2: the Young hurricanes.
Speaker 3: Prop, yeah he's come through the indied twenties of the
Speaker 3: last few years and then sort of broken into The
Speaker 3: cans rotation who had a very strong set piece this.
Speaker 3: SEASON i think you could see that type of young.
Speaker 3: Player As kevin, mentioned with the midweek, games there's really
Speaker 3: the additional plays is all about the midweekend and sort
Speaker 3: of preserving your starting, side trying to avoid those.
Speaker 5: Injuries so if they want.
Speaker 3: To take a young guy for, experience Then sali would
Speaker 3: be one of the top of the.
Speaker 2: List i'd, Think, okay it's got to hookers as one
Speaker 2: More Cody, Taylor Summersauny talkiah over, there they'll probably add one.
Speaker 2: More who have you got written down as the as
Speaker 2: the fourth, hooker keV, oh.
Speaker 4: It's got to Be bell as far As i'm, concerned key.
Speaker 4: Position you, know if you're going to develop, anything go
Speaker 4: with the guy who's playing the best in the country
Speaker 4: at the, MOMENT i, think AND i Think George bell
Speaker 4: will step in.
Speaker 2: There any argument from, You Ben.
Speaker 3: NO i think that's probably on the. Money he's been
Speaker 3: in there and the razor makes.
Speaker 5: SENSE i think like the.
Speaker 3: Third hooker was really a troublesome area for us last
Speaker 3: year with a stuff or, out but now that we
Speaker 3: have him, back that's probably why they haven't Seen george in.
Speaker 3: There but, yeah it makes.
Speaker 2: Sense kevin just before we move, IN i don't think
Speaker 2: he's going to be in this, squad but he could
Speaker 2: be one for the, future and he's getting a bit
Speaker 2: of chat. Around Is Eli oderan from The blues And.
Speaker 2: TASMAN i mean he won't be a ball FOR i
Speaker 2: wouldn't think on this. Tour but does he like an
Speaker 2: all black and waiting for?
Speaker 4: You, well there's a few guys that are doing, that
Speaker 4: And i've got to be. CAREFUL i nearly say it
Speaker 4: with tongue in cheek about, it because the reason there's
Speaker 4: so many potential bolters is because we don't have the
Speaker 4: depth that we've historically. Had so, yeah, this you, know
Speaker 4: his chance will come in the foreseeable. Future but THANKFULLY
Speaker 4: i Think hooker stops at the. Moment the four that
Speaker 4: we've mentioned are fairly, good but, yeah he's definitely got
Speaker 4: possibilities for the.
Speaker 2: FUTURE i Guess Brady mcallis is the other one who
Speaker 2: might be in the conversation with a couple of tests last,
Speaker 2: year But George bell seems most. LIKELY i want to
Speaker 2: group locks and loose forwards and, together so that's going
Speaker 2: to make it a little bit more. Challenging we've got
Speaker 2: Too PAUL. V Patrick tweop a lot To Josh, Lord Sam,
Speaker 2: Dowry Peter, Larkey Simon, Parker Ardie Savier, wallace A, Tit Luke,
Speaker 2: jacobson Aton, Segna fabi And holland will be. Added he
Speaker 2: got forty minutes the other day For. Otago the REASON
Speaker 2: i wanted to grip them, Together ben is because too
Speaker 2: Paul va you will probably see a lot of time
Speaker 2: on the blind side. Flank first of, all do you
Speaker 2: like him?
Speaker 3: THERE i think this is the third time that we've Seen.
Speaker 3: Tupo if you go back to That France World, cup
Speaker 3: that was the first time we saw the, blindside and
Speaker 3: Then raiser tried it again last year Against. France this
Speaker 3: one that we've just seen is probably the best performance
Speaker 3: we've seen From tupo in that six. JERSEY i am
Speaker 3: not yet sold on. It Think twupo is a world class.
Speaker 3: Lock that tour in twenty twenty. FOUR i think that
Speaker 3: was really where he made his leap up at that next.
Speaker 3: Level playing the spring box and stead for here is
Speaker 3: one of our, best if not our best. Forward SO
Speaker 3: i just, THINK i.
Speaker 5: Mean it gives you a lot of.
Speaker 3: Versatility i've been able to add an extra loose ford
Speaker 3: on the.
Speaker 5: Bench it's showing.
Speaker 3: SIGNS i still think his best position Is.
Speaker 2: Locke all, right, Well, waite and so what do you, Think?
Speaker 2: Kevin do you like him on the blind side or
Speaker 2: do you prefer him in the second row as.
Speaker 4: WELL i love the fact that he can play blindside
Speaker 4: and then move, in so you've got that versatility of
Speaker 4: some one not just from a bench but from the
Speaker 4: actual field that can do. It BUT i think that
Speaker 4: we're missing the biggest answer here Is holland coming back.
Speaker 4: In he'll go straight into the. Testing you know that
Speaker 4: that's going to be.
Speaker 5: A big boost to.
Speaker 4: US i was very concerned Playing. Ireland it didn't need
Speaker 4: to be a, concern of, course from how the game
Speaker 4: sort of panned.
Speaker 6: Out BUT i think that that is.
Speaker 4: Fantastic that's just put up the stocks in our locking
Speaker 4: group and it means that we can now start having
Speaker 4: that interesting conversation about you, know what do you do
Speaker 4: about a seven as compared to provine the boys on
Speaker 4: the side of the.
Speaker 2: Scrum all, right, well let's go into the loose, forwards
Speaker 2: because this IS i think probably one of the more
Speaker 2: competitive parts of this whole. Equation there's really strong male That,
Speaker 2: Maita pacifica And southland loose Forward samisi to Poor tela
Speaker 2: will be on the, plane big big Body. Ben would
Speaker 2: you like to see him?
Speaker 3: INCLUDED i think it would be the aspect that the
Speaker 3: ball carrying number eight with a lot of power if
Speaker 3: you look at as Super agencias and his top of
Speaker 3: top of the list when it comes to number of,
Speaker 3: carriers AND i think meet us through contact is very.
Speaker 3: High is that dominant ball carrier.
Speaker 7: And he does a lot of.
Speaker 5: Damage it's just like in a team.
Speaker 3: That doesn't have all the pieces around him and against
Speaker 3: the Abrasive South african hacks like it. Suits it's it's
Speaker 3: the kind of player you, need SO i can understand the.
Speaker 3: Thinking AND i think you'd see he would be in
Speaker 3: that midweek. Liner so, YEAH i don't see Any it
Speaker 3: would be great to see that kind of power off
Speaker 3: the back of The All blacks. Scrum and it's an
Speaker 3: interesting it's an interesting.
Speaker 2: One you mentioned seven, party have you got have you got? Deepless?
Speaker 4: Going look like this this is one of you, know
Speaker 4: we all have our, opinions but this is One whi's
Speaker 4: really going to be give clarity on where the re
Speaker 4: any era is sort of. Going because when they Selected,
Speaker 4: JACOBSON i wasn't the greatest fan none of. It they've gone,
Speaker 4: for you, know a bigger.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 4: Not necessarily positionally specific shiver as it. Worked in many
Speaker 4: ways it, worked so MAYBE i shut.
Speaker 9: Up Take TENNY A lowe on the.
Speaker 4: PLANE i would love to see apart from THE i
Speaker 4: only see one legitimate open side in that, team and
Speaker 4: you can say, Segna But i'm not convinced That Ardie,
Speaker 4: severe even though you know we're one of the best
Speaker 4: number eights in the, world is also the best. Seventh
Speaker 4: but As ben pointed, out we're looking at the midweek
Speaker 4: team for these guys going. ALONG i think it would
Speaker 4: be a nice sort of balance if you had someone
Speaker 4: Like carriffe in, there or go For casey from Down
Speaker 4: otago play seven eight massively. Athletic you know there are
Speaker 4: a few youngsters if they're going to try and blood.
Speaker 2: Someone what's your view on The Lucy's, Ben.
Speaker 3: YEAH i was the same camp With, jacobson AND i
Speaker 3: delved into it a bit around how they play and
Speaker 3: where they want the loose. SEASON i turned it That
Speaker 3: jacobson is a jack of all trades and master of,
Speaker 3: none but that that's kind of the point within the
Speaker 3: system That renie's. Got so you, SEE i, mean if
Speaker 3: you remember in the end of The French, Test jacobson's
Speaker 3: on the right sideline then providing an offload back inside
Speaker 3: and he.
Speaker 10: Went And Eden.
Speaker 5: Park you Saw tupo out in the flank a.
Speaker 3: Lot so he wants the flankers to be playing all
Speaker 3: all thirds of the park and been able to be
Speaker 3: on the edge and break. Tackles and when you look At,
Speaker 3: carriffe he's a great on ball. Specialist he's going to
Speaker 3: get your turnovers and defensively be that. Workhorse but they
Speaker 3: probably Think jacobson has that wider skill set that fits
Speaker 3: all the things that they need in that, system and
Speaker 3: then when you see it come together Against ireland and
Speaker 3: the patterns that they're, running you can kind of nod
Speaker 3: your head and, say oh you can, yep you can
Speaker 3: see that it's.
Speaker 11: WORKING i think.
Speaker 3: That's the shame Of griffy in the right system and
Speaker 3: what you what you can get out of him is
Speaker 3: special that talent over the. Ball you'll get the turnovers
Speaker 3: And i'd like to see him on that tour because
Speaker 3: even if you're looking at a bench, option where as
Speaker 3: you said two that, six you can carry two those
Speaker 3: swards at the, bench caff can get you the turnover
Speaker 3: at the end of the game that you need to
Speaker 3: snuff out the last position or something like, that and
Speaker 3: that's probably one area that we're not, getting like our
Speaker 3: ability to turnover ball is defined By Ardie severe probably
Speaker 3: at the.
Speaker 2: Moment all, right hold, there, guys we'll we'll get to
Speaker 2: the backs in a. Moment rugby writer with rugby Pass
Speaker 2: Ben smith and former spring box half Back Kevin putt
Speaker 2: with us as we look At Dave rennie's forty four
Speaker 2: man squad For South africa to be named, tomorrow twelve twenty.
Speaker 2: One back in a month.
Speaker 1: The biggest themes in Sports talk To Piney Weekend sport
Speaker 1: With Jason fyne and The volkswagen AMAROK f six on
Speaker 1: sale now from eighty nine nine ninety news.
Speaker 2: Talks there'd Be Weekend sport twelve twenty four talking all
Speaker 2: blacks and the selection of the touring squad For South
Speaker 2: africa forty four. Names writer with rugby Pass Ben smith
Speaker 2: and former spring box half Back Kevin putt with us
Speaker 2: On Weekend. Sport let's go to the backs seems appropriate
Speaker 2: to start with you for the. Nines keV one to
Speaker 2: be added probably to Cam Rouyguard cortez lat And Kyle.
Speaker 2: Preston Noah hotham is he the fourth. Guy, oh it's
Speaker 2: a no.
Speaker 4: Brainer, also we don't need to start pushing for you
Speaker 4: know who's going to take the main spot up. TOP
Speaker 4: i Mean royguard's playing some of the best. Rugby he'd
Speaker 4: be right up there with the best in the world
Speaker 4: at the. Moment so we are looking at those midweek
Speaker 4: games AND i Think hopeam probably deserves the pad on
Speaker 4: the back he. Was i'm not SAYING i actually Enjoy,
Speaker 4: preston BUT i think he'd be the next cab off the.
Speaker 2: RANK keV just On Carl. Preston were you surprised he
Speaker 2: didn't get some minutes in these three test? Matches it
Speaker 2: Was royguard, obviously But Cortez lata wore twenty one and
Speaker 2: all three test. Matches were you Surprised Kyle preston didn't
Speaker 2: get a?
Speaker 9: Crack, well, NO i don't say.
Speaker 4: That you, know these these, games they were the start
Speaker 4: Of rennie's sort OF i don't think it's his. Time
Speaker 4: it's blooding players and having little bits of. Games they've
Speaker 4: got mid week games coming. Up expect to See preston.
Speaker 4: NOW i, mean there's the fantastic opportunity where you can
Speaker 4: wear the black jersey under a little less pressure than
Speaker 4: The test match for your Starting.
Speaker 2: But let's go to. Tens Rubin, Love, Boten, Barrett damien
Speaker 2: McKenzie who of course played all Three tests at fullback
Speaker 2: and In july been no need for another. One richie
Speaker 2: mooreng we know won't be included, initially no need to
Speaker 2: add another ten and if we, did who would it?
Speaker 2: Be Josh.
Speaker 3: JACOB i am in the camp that long will be
Speaker 3: on this tour one way or another throughout, It SO
Speaker 3: i think that's the guy that will come. In, LIKE
Speaker 3: i know it's not signed off or anything like, that
Speaker 3: BUT i just still haven't feel in once he PLAYS,
Speaker 3: nbc he's, eligible like they'll find a way and the
Speaker 3: need is probably not as. GREAT i think we've got
Speaker 3: a model in place already Where bowden can't even get
Speaker 3: on the, Field so, YEAH i don't think the needs.
Speaker 3: THERE i just want to say on the, HALFBACKS i
Speaker 3: think Camroy guard is the trump card we have for
Speaker 3: this series because the last two years he's not played
Speaker 3: at the. Box he's missed the last four of. Them
Speaker 3: we're only won one from. Four he's not been healthy
Speaker 3: that only he's had twenty minutes against the box at
Speaker 3: the end of that horrible loss At. Twickenham so and
Speaker 3: since then he's become one of the world's best players
Speaker 3: and they haven't really seen them. Yet So i'm a
Speaker 3: big believer that this series has tailor made for camera
Speaker 3: regards to, Stampers mark par do you.
Speaker 2: Be there'll be music to your ear as a half
Speaker 2: bag being the main, character and they are always the main.
Speaker 9: Character it's just the perception of, you dodgy.
Speaker 3: Devils the one thing In.
Speaker 4: Africa please don't think That Russi erasmus is going to
Speaker 4: let anything go, missing you, know with his preparation and
Speaker 4: that he may not have played against the box, before
Speaker 4: but by, gosh they'll be over analyzing exactly the same
Speaker 4: as desire to have a go close.
Speaker 2: By all, right let's finish with the rest of the
Speaker 2: back line and once Again i've grouped the midfielders and back.
Speaker 2: Three we've Got Jordi, Barrett, Quinte Pie Billy, Anton Lennart,
Speaker 2: Brown Caleb clark For Finny young And, Awful Leonroy, Carter
Speaker 2: Josh morby And Will Jordan No lester Fighting. Anku he's
Speaker 2: still not available AS i, understand it's still in the moon.
Speaker 2: Boot i'd Imagine Rico yowanni will go having been called
Speaker 2: in his cover and he can cover center and. Wing
Speaker 2: who else are you Adding ben in the sort of
Speaker 2: midfield back three.
Speaker 3: Stocks i'm a Big rico. GUY i don't think a
Speaker 3: lot of people. Are BUT i think he's actually our top.
Speaker 3: CENTER i, Mean quincypi has been amazing, there SO i
Speaker 3: Mean i'm.
Speaker 5: Taking rico as a.
Speaker 3: CENTER i don't think he's a. WINGER i think that
Speaker 3: transition was made and it was a bit unfair last
Speaker 3: year having him on the wing is hung out to.
Speaker 10: Dry a bit.
Speaker 3: THERE i think what his absence has shown in parts
Speaker 3: is the defensive part of what he. Brings AND i
Speaker 3: think With Billy proctor being probably the form scenes to,
Speaker 3: rugby a super, rugby he's not starting sentence The alba's
Speaker 3: probably because of some of the defensive lapses THAT i
Speaker 3: Think rica doesn't get enough credit.
Speaker 2: For All, Right so you've Got rico going who? Else
Speaker 2: and in terms of outside, backs are you taking taking
Speaker 2: another outside?
Speaker 7: Back the status like we Know less is?
Speaker 5: Out is?
Speaker 8: He?
Speaker 2: YEAH i, Understand, YEAH i Understand he's going to be
Speaker 2: okay to. Travel so whether it's a matter if he
Speaker 2: doesn't play the first. Couple you know who's the next?
Speaker 2: Thing is It Im? Money? Nadaway is he the next Guy?
Speaker 3: Money he's had sort of like a curse all that
Speaker 3: career so. Far hasn't it like he just gets in
Speaker 3: learning as an Injury blaze obviously one of our most talented.
Speaker 3: Players if he's, Healthy i'd love to see him on this.
Speaker 2: Talk all, right what about for, You? keV who are
Speaker 2: you adding in the sort of midfield outside backs.
Speaker 4: Area, oh, LOOK i Think ben's got one hundred percent,
Speaker 4: correct the most important. Person and there is the the
Speaker 4: problem that we've actually got on The All blacks at the.
Speaker 4: Moment the worst concern we have is. Thirteen we've got some.
Speaker 4: GUYS i, mean again did exception well Against, ireland but
Speaker 4: the two games prior to that we were actually ripped
Speaker 4: in that. CHANNEL i Think rikawani is the correct person into,
Speaker 4: it not because of anything else except that he is
Speaker 4: the best center In New zealand when he plays it
Speaker 4: for The All, blacks which is a little bit. Sad
Speaker 4: there's the development area that we.
Speaker 7: Can really look at going.
Speaker 9: Forward and on the outside.
Speaker 4: Backs, look we do things Like hyde mackenzie and under
Speaker 4: the high ball in that and you would have Seen
Speaker 4: Reuben love back there taking most of the, kicks so
Speaker 4: we need another winger that's a fullback as, well just
Speaker 4: to fit in with the game plan that it seems
Speaker 4: Like i'd go for a bit of an outsider With
Speaker 4: hutchinson coming.
Speaker 2: In Isaac, hutchinson he certainly turned some heads for The
Speaker 2: chiefs as well when he was given the opportunity to
Speaker 2: so some selection. Decisions just BEFORE i let you both,
Speaker 2: go can we just look at the tour in terms
Speaker 2: of a successful, Tour, Ben i'll start with you on this.
Speaker 2: One in. TWO i mean we can look at it,
Speaker 2: metrics you, know The test. Series what is a successful
Speaker 2: tour and what else has to happen in the next
Speaker 2: couple of months for The All blacks and for the
Speaker 2: coaching staff to judge it a success outside of the series.
Speaker 3: Score, WELL i think, success this is The All blacks
Speaker 3: are talking. About success is defined by winning and they'll,
Speaker 3: be no doubt looking to win the. SERIES i think
Speaker 3: not many will be thinking that that's on the, cards
Speaker 3: BUT i, BELIEVE.
Speaker 10: I believe it's.
Speaker 3: POSSIBLE i think that the series is suited to The
Speaker 3: All blacks with the first and second test thing In
Speaker 3: Joe berg at, ALTITUDE i, think BUT i. Sortainly you,
Speaker 3: know since the Tournament millennium we've had a very good
Speaker 3: record there and i'd be targeting those. TWO i, mean
Speaker 3: we need to win the first one to win the,
Speaker 3: series but where every chance of coming away.
Speaker 5: With two to one until they all, right what about for?
Speaker 12: You?
Speaker 2: Paddy are? You are you Like i've written down here
Speaker 2: to to good? Result AM i understating? It DO i
Speaker 2: need to be a bit more? Optimistic because As ben,
Speaker 2: said this is the All.
Speaker 4: Blacks, Well ben's right that it will be judged on,
Speaker 4: success you, know the actual winning at the end of.
Speaker 4: It but IF i interpret What russy is talking about
Speaker 4: over In africa as, well they're going to be balancing
Speaker 4: up their. Squads they're not just going to be selecting
Speaker 4: their best team for four games in a. Row so
Speaker 4: really this IS i, mean what we need out of
Speaker 4: it will be. Unmeasurable it will be what's our depth
Speaker 4: In New zealand going, like because we've had queries about.
Speaker 4: It that'll be a, big big test going. Forward BUT
Speaker 4: i still agree with you it has to be a
Speaker 4: drawn series for us to say, wow.
Speaker 2: Hey we're right there with.
Speaker 4: Them anything under that.
Speaker 2: Is a, failure fascinating two months ahead squad named tomorrow
Speaker 2: and then these massive, matches both the midwek ones and
Speaker 2: the test, matches finishing with the one In. Baltimore Ben,
Speaker 2: Smith Kevin, part thank you so much for joining us
Speaker 2: this afternoon with your analysis and enjoy what happens over
Speaker 2: the next couple of. Months be. Funny thanks. Guys that's
Speaker 2: a writer with rugby Pass bensmith and former spring box
Speaker 2: Halfback Kevin part twelve thirty. Three all, right your thoughts
Speaker 2: now you've heard from those, Two what about? You, oh
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty ten names to be
Speaker 2: added to The nation's championship. SQUAD i think we can
Speaker 2: fairly safely assume that everybody in the thirty four man
Speaker 2: squad for The Nation's championship will be in this forty
Speaker 2: four man squad For South, africa so ten names to be.
Speaker 2: Added fabi And holland will be one of. Them he
Speaker 2: got through forty minutes For otago and The shield challenged
Speaker 2: the other. Day that ticked that box for. Him having
Speaker 2: played no super rugby at all with that shoulder injury
Speaker 2: that he suffered in pre, season he's clearly okay and
Speaker 2: in the eyes Of kevin part as you heard, there
Speaker 2: we'll go straight back into the starting fifteen over In South,
Speaker 2: africa so that's a real. Boost so he'll be. There
Speaker 2: Rico juani well almost be there, too and interesting to
Speaker 2: hear the two of them say there they think he
Speaker 2: is the number one center as. Well Rico, yowani having
Speaker 2: not been included in the initial thirty four man, squad
Speaker 2: only called in his cover didn't plan any test rugby
Speaker 2: in The nation's. Championship but we'll be in this. Squad
Speaker 2: but who else anyone in particular that you would definitely
Speaker 2: want to? See added oh eight hundred and eighty ten.
Speaker 2: Eighty the other question THAT i would like your thoughts
Speaker 2: on is this the last QUESTION i Asked ben And,
Speaker 2: kevin what would a successful tour for The All blacks look?
Speaker 2: Like and let's focus on The test series and answering.
Speaker 2: This we've got The storm Of sharks and balls to,
Speaker 2: start then the First test and The, lions Second, Test
Speaker 2: Third test and Fourth test In. Baltimore let's focus on
Speaker 2: The test. SERIES a series win feels like a really
Speaker 2: raally big, ask especially over. THERE i Know baltimore is
Speaker 2: neutral territory for The Fourth. Test but even if The
Speaker 2: All blacks were to win, there in order to win the,
Speaker 2: series they would still need to win two of the
Speaker 2: first Three tests in the cauldrons Of Alice, Park Cape
Speaker 2: town and Then Soccer. City as it's, known that is
Speaker 2: going to be, very very very tough to win two
Speaker 2: of those. Three South africa have won five of the
Speaker 2: last six AGAINST. Us our salt victory in that time
Speaker 2: was At Eden park Last september when The All blacks
Speaker 2: defended The. Fortress that, game of, course was immediately followed
Speaker 2: by The marling And. Wellington we actually haven't Played South
Speaker 2: africa In South africa very much at all in recent.
Speaker 2: Years twice in twenty twenty, four two narrow, losses twice
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, two a pretty limpold twenty six ten,
Speaker 2: defeat followed by a thirty five twenty three win At
Speaker 2: Alice park that effectively Saved Igan foster's. Job before, that
Speaker 2: you have to go back to twenty eighteen for the
Speaker 2: last time we Played test rugby over. There so there's
Speaker 2: no real significant body of recent work to compare it
Speaker 2: against Playing South africa In South. Africa much as this
Speaker 2: is The All blacks and we should demand and do
Speaker 2: demand very very high. STANDARDS i think Given Dave rennie's
Speaker 2: recent arrival As All blacks coach And South africa's phenomenal
Speaker 2: form in the last couple of, years a squared series
Speaker 2: for me would be a very good. Result if we
Speaker 2: can win to with the FOUR i think you'd be pretty.
Speaker 2: Happy As kevin said, there if it's less than, that
Speaker 2: then it would be considered a. Failure some, People i'm
Speaker 2: sure will think that two to two is perhaps not
Speaker 2: what we're. After but adding all of the factors in
Speaker 2: where we are in The Rugby World cup, cycle where
Speaker 2: we are And Dave andy's coaching, cycle and how Good
Speaker 2: South africa have been in recent, times if we're talking
Speaker 2: after The Baltimore test on the twelfth Of september and
Speaker 2: we've squared the, series Then i'd be pretty. Happy oh
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten Eighty Hello, john how you
Speaker 2: doing very? Good thank?
Speaker 13: You john made of full disclosure and know so much
Speaker 13: about about rug about. RUGBY i just wanted to throw
Speaker 13: five cents in About Richie. MUNGER i think he'll he'll.
Speaker 13: GO i think Then dave when he will Do Wayne
Speaker 13: smith and put him in the management team as a.
Speaker 2: Refuse he'll be part of the he'll be part of
Speaker 2: the wider traveling. Group you, Reckon, John i'd.
Speaker 13: Work For Wayne smith And cannary back in the day
Speaker 13: With kilbert And. Oka so long As Richie muanger takes
Speaker 13: massa well and not peanut, oil Which gilbert And oka
Speaker 13: went out and got back in the.
Speaker 2: DAY i THINK i want to heard that. Story, look
Speaker 2: you know the stance on. It you've heard This, john
Speaker 2: the stance on it's pretty. Clear he. Can't he can't
Speaker 2: play for The All blacks till he PLAYS. Npc so
Speaker 2: he's going to play N pc For. Canterbury. Look the
Speaker 2: other part of it is also is somebody's going to get.
Speaker 2: Injured right in a forty four man, squad somebody is
Speaker 2: going to get. Injured AND i kind of wonder if,
Speaker 2: if like, say a front rower goes down like An
Speaker 2: Ethan dagruz or A Tyrell. Lomax i'm just picking names out,
Speaker 2: here would they replace that front rower with the first?
Speaker 2: Five they? Might they.
Speaker 13: Might you never, Know you never know your luck in
Speaker 13: the big. City the other things for. Miners that the
Speaker 13: interesting thing for melb you, KNOW i, MEAN i think they.
Speaker 14: The boys really.
Speaker 13: They reached the PEEK i guess out of a small
Speaker 13: game begins, Silence BUT i think. SO i think you
Speaker 13: can treat, differently especially over. There so either, way Whether
Speaker 13: richie's a mass or, not it'll be it'll be a
Speaker 13: good it'll be a good good watching.
Speaker 2: Good, Man. JOHN i appreciate your call, mate and your
Speaker 2: expertise and your experience around the missous side of. Things peanut. Oil,
Speaker 2: yea you wouldn't want any of that, rubbedon do? You
Speaker 2: would you good to hear from you mate our eight
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten Eighty. YEAH i think we're all
Speaker 2: across The Richie muwonga situation in terms of What New
Speaker 2: Zealand rugby have. Said in, Fact Steve LANCASTER ceo basically
Speaker 2: announced that on this show a couple of months, ago
Speaker 2: said we will not be Selecting Richie mwonga until he
Speaker 2: has PLAYED. Mpc, therefore with the squad being named tomorrow
Speaker 2: in THE npc not starting until next, weekend he will
Speaker 2: not be. Named so in the forty four names, Tomorrow
Speaker 2: richie And wogan will not be. There unless there is
Speaker 2: a MASSIVE u, turn a, huge HUGE u, turn he
Speaker 2: will not be. Named but if there was to be
Speaker 2: an injury on this. Tour once he's played IN, pc
Speaker 2: he is able to be called In AND i was
Speaker 2: perhaps a little bit, facetious AND i Think Dave roonnie
Speaker 2: even made this point when he was asked about, it
Speaker 2: where that injury replacements have to be like for like
Speaker 2: because history will tell you that there's no way in
Speaker 2: the world all forty four of these players will go
Speaker 2: through a tour Of South africa like this without an
Speaker 2: injury or injuries. Plural but if an injury replacement is,
Speaker 2: needed is an incumbent On dave Ver rennie to bring
Speaker 2: in a like for LIKE i think for his game
Speaker 2: plan it would be front row is probably the wrong
Speaker 2: example because if you lose a front rower you need
Speaker 2: to bring in another front. Rower but, if for, example
Speaker 2: he was to lose an outside, back let's just, say
Speaker 2: would he be on the phone To Richie wonga at that?
Speaker 2: Point THAT i think is the big question. Here will
Speaker 2: Play All blacks rugby again? Soon if it's not on this,
Speaker 2: tour THEN i think you'll be absolutely a very very
Speaker 2: high consideration for The test matches Against australia In october
Speaker 2: In auckland and In, sydney and then the end of year,
Speaker 2: tour the back end of The Nation's Championship, Scotland wales And,
Speaker 2: england and then any finals match that might. Follow so
Speaker 2: he's going to be there AND i think we need to.
Speaker 2: Panic but it'll be so interesting to see what happens
Speaker 2: at the first when the first injury happens In South.
Speaker 2: Africa if it's not to a first, five then the
Speaker 2: replacement who's called in will be very very interesting to. Observe, Hello,
Speaker 2: ellen how are you?
Speaker 5: Piney?
Speaker 2: Great Thanks, ellen good to hear from, you matee.
Speaker 15: Yep hey look to be fair for, me if The
Speaker 15: All blacks took one match out of the spring box
Speaker 15: In South, Africa i'd be ecstatic Because i'm just conscious
Speaker 15: this is a whole new a whole new team Under.
Speaker 15: Dave he's only had three matches with, them and that
Speaker 15: team's been Under razzi for. Forever so you, know, One
Speaker 15: i'd take, it and if they got the second one In,
Speaker 15: Baltimore i'd be.
Speaker 2: Ecstatic, yeah, all AND i think that's a scenario which
Speaker 2: may well. Happen so if we if after the Third
Speaker 2: test In johannesburg we're two to one down heading To
Speaker 2: baltimore for the Fourth. TEST i don't Think i'd be
Speaker 2: unhappy with that because the two to two series result
Speaker 2: would still be. Alive the other part of, this of, course,
Speaker 2: mate is is how they play over. There that's going
Speaker 2: to be a big part of how happy we are.
Speaker 9: Too, yep.
Speaker 6: Yep and that's.
Speaker 15: IT i mean the, pundits you'll have the die hards
Speaker 15: who they'll only accept the. Win but it's like if
Speaker 15: they just keep improving on where they've, got because let's be,
Speaker 15: HONEST i did not expect them to do what they
Speaker 15: did to The irish last. Week you, know that was
Speaker 15: just bloody. Fantastic i'm glad to say.
Speaker 5: That.
Speaker 2: Absolutely that's that's low, End, allen that's low. End don't
Speaker 2: go any, higher. Mate we can we can.
Speaker 15: Football so we'll stay out of.
Speaker 2: There it'll be a different. Story good, One, allen thanks for,
Speaker 2: calling and make carback any. TIME i agree With. Alan
Speaker 2: if we play well and yet are two one down
Speaker 2: after the second or after the Third test In South,
Speaker 2: africa then and go To baltimore with with a two
Speaker 2: to two series results still on the, Table i'd be.
Speaker 2: HAPPY i know that is that's probably a little bit
Speaker 2: Un All black supporter rush of me but in the
Speaker 2: overall context of all of, THIS i think where we
Speaker 2: are and where they are two two's not. Bad seventeen to. One,
Speaker 2: mark hold there with you after this. Spearline if you
Speaker 2: want to talk all blacks eight hundred and eighty eighty

Speaker 10: For fourhands and fifty six and ninety six and twenty twenty.
Speaker 15: Six it's about the, props all.
Speaker 16: Right it is about the front.
Speaker 9: Row it is about the beasts that hold this thing.
Speaker 16: Together africa has always pulled a trick when it comes
Speaker 16: to something in the front. Row they'll do it, again be.
Speaker 16: Guaranteed we have to be, Prepared we have to be.
Speaker 16: Ready we have to be prepared for the seventh ninth

Speaker 7: Me the Word.
Speaker 16: BALTIMORE i don't want to hear About. Baltimore some thing
Speaker 16: in the middlest end of, season piss up party. Garbage
Speaker 16: this is About. Africa there are three. Tests we're gonna
Speaker 16: take two of, them then we're gonna celebrate at the.
Speaker 16: Final look two or nothing know of this one h.
Speaker 16: Two we've got three tests. Here we've got to take
Speaker 16: him up front the first. One make him remember why
Speaker 16: we're were in a bloody black. Jersey, right no, retreat no.
Speaker 16: SURRENDER i Love.
Speaker 2: Mark i'm gonna call You Mark andnoka motivational, speaker long.
Speaker 2: RUN i feel myself being a b told off a
Speaker 2: bit in, there and rightly So mark, Rightly, so, YES
Speaker 2: i need to lift my STANDARDSN'T. I this is the
Speaker 2: All blacks we're talking. About great to hear from, you,
Speaker 2: mate call back often during the tour SO i can
Speaker 2: hear more of this wonderful stuff from you Another.
Speaker 6: MARK i, Mate, yeah then they how to follow that
Speaker 6: one quite high and. ENERGY i would have put Aj
Speaker 6: lamb in my. SQUAD i also would have Put David,
Speaker 6: harvedi but he's obviously. GONE i think we need rich
Speaker 6: to See Richie mulwana In. Africa we need to see
Speaker 6: what the future of The World cup holds and to
Speaker 6: see whether he's still GOT i mean it seems that
Speaker 6: an age SINCE i, MEAN i know he's been playing
Speaker 6: overseas and obviously doing pretty, well but you know you've
Speaker 6: got to basically see whether he's up to that same level.
Speaker 2: Again to, me, Yeah i'm curious to find out everything
Speaker 2: you hear about him playing In. Japan mark suggests that he,
Speaker 2: is And Dave rennie's obviously had a close up view
Speaker 2: of him from coaching up there against, him so he'll
Speaker 2: know better than anybody what sort of Shape richie more
Speaker 2: onners in having said that playing in you, know with
Speaker 2: all due respect to That japanese, league which has got
Speaker 2: a lot. Stronger it ain't test.
Speaker 6: Rugby, yeah and for. Success for, me it's just how
Speaker 6: we play and if we give ourselves a chance to
Speaker 6: win the, games THEN i think that's that that would be.
Speaker 7: Taken as a.
Speaker 6: Positive if if they completely flog us and sort of
Speaker 6: and we in our players in every, aspect then we're
Speaker 6: going to be looking in some deep trouble. THERE i
Speaker 6: don't think that's going to be the. Case and to
Speaker 6: me it's it's also a chance to develop the, squad
Speaker 6: to develop the. Style and another Thing i'll be looking
Speaker 6: at is how we how what innovations we sort of
Speaker 6: come up, with and how we deal With russy's bomb.
Speaker 6: Squad you, KNOW i don't think we did deal with
Speaker 6: that very. Well and the opportunity That russi has as
Speaker 6: he showed Them, wellington is he hears a chance to
Speaker 6: play a completely different squad week to. Week you, know
Speaker 6: they don't redrop any quality which probably we can't field
Speaker 6: at the. Moment we probably could put together a pretty
Speaker 6: good back, climb but, YEAH i mean you've also got
Speaker 6: to Remember africa has like sixty million people and they
Speaker 6: have the same passion for rugby as, us so they've
Speaker 6: got a hell of a lot more depth coming through
Speaker 6: all the, time you. Know SO i think we've got
Speaker 6: to remember that even though we've sort of Dominated South
Speaker 6: africa in the, past we've also got to look at
Speaker 6: what they sort of have to offer as well and
Speaker 6: be realistic about what we can. Do but at the
Speaker 6: end of the, day we can only put Fifteenth they
Speaker 6: can only put fifteen players on the field like us
Speaker 6: at one.
Speaker 2: Time, indeed, yeah no good. Points WHAT i made is
Speaker 2: always mark and, look they are the benchmark at the.
Speaker 2: MOMENT i don't think there's any argument about. That they
Speaker 2: can put a couple of different teams out and it doesn't.
Speaker 2: Matter what doesn't seem to, matter certainly not against teams
Speaker 2: like they've been playing, recently you, know in The Nation's.
Speaker 2: Championship it doesn't seem to matter which fifteen or which
Speaker 2: twenty Three Rassi erasmus. Names they are a formidable, opponent
Speaker 2: which is WHY i think this is a right time
Speaker 2: for us to be going. There you, know we'll find,
Speaker 2: OUT i, mean one way or the, Other we're going
Speaker 2: to find out where we are in relation to, them aren't.
Speaker 6: We, oh it's absolutely quite, exciting you, know as a
Speaker 6: sports saying for it to come up and sort of,
Speaker 6: YEAH i don't know what time the. GAMES i think
Speaker 6: it's about one or three in the, morning BUT i
Speaker 6: think they'll stay up and watch them BECAUSE i mean to,
Speaker 6: me this is probably you, know just about as exciting
Speaker 6: as The Rugby World cup, really BECAUSE i mean it's
Speaker 6: probably a bigger challenge in some ways to go over
Speaker 6: there and play them on their own.
Speaker 2: Too, Agree, Agree, mark good on your, Mate, well, yeah
Speaker 2: you stock up on the coffee made. It they are
Speaker 2: three am kickoffs The South African games, Anyway baltimore's a
Speaker 2: nine am so that's a bit more. Civilized but, yeah
Speaker 2: the Three test matches In South africa or kickoff at
Speaker 2: three O'clock New zealand. Time Either away from One News.
Speaker 1: Talks when there's a line, call it's your. Call Weekend
Speaker 1: sport With Jason. Fine News TALKS vy five to.
Speaker 2: One we're up against The news at. One BUT i

Speaker 2: been able to AND I i am very keen to
Speaker 2: read your pulse on this and we'll do it over
Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks as, well and once the
Speaker 2: team gets To South. Africa but what is a good
Speaker 2: result over, There. Pinety they'd be bonkers if they left
Speaker 2: to Plas codifi behind for this test, series Says. CHRIS
Speaker 2: i think you'll probably Go Chris scott. Says two huge
Speaker 2: problems we. Have we need to compete in the scrums
Speaker 2: and at the. Breakdown we need turnovers at crucial. TIMES
Speaker 2: a special at seven dup plus e cofee as a
Speaker 2: man and Also Tava tava nawa in the, backs Says. Scott,
Speaker 2: yeah AS i said, before there's massive mail around around
Speaker 2: a couple of, players and there seems to be a
Speaker 2: bit of doubt about where du plus ecalif he fits into.
Speaker 2: THIS i just think you know he is a specialist.
Speaker 2: Seven and there's been a lot of chat about versatility
Speaker 2: in the loose forwards Under Dave. Rennie in fact all
Speaker 2: of them really can play more than one. Position but
Speaker 2: As ben And kevin, said you're adding, people you know
Speaker 2: in large part for the midweek games as. WELL i
Speaker 2: just you can't tell me the duplusk isn't among the
Speaker 2: top seven or eight loose forwards In New, zealand SO
Speaker 2: i think he'll be there takes from. Us let's, see come, On,

Speaker 2: email just wondering if you guys had given thought to the.
Speaker 2: Box forty three nil went Over wales. RECENTLY i mentioned
Speaker 2: months ago the ecosystem That rassi has built to plumb
Speaker 2: depth and breadth of. Talent so here we are four
Speaker 2: debutants two under twenty forty three nil against A tier
Speaker 2: one international. Team The Junior box have won back to
Speaker 2: Back World under twenty. Titles the interchangeability of players is.
Speaker 2: Amazing their scrummaging makes other teams look like they're trying
Speaker 2: to reverse. Parks As mahendra As i noted Earlier South
Speaker 2: africa's population sixty five, Million he says a core toughness
Speaker 2: born and forged and, slums, apartheid, poverty state, violence et.
Speaker 2: CETERA a toughness way way beyond muscles toned in a
Speaker 2: gym and buffed up Posters mahandra. Finishes What rassi has
Speaker 2: built and established over the last few years is astonishing
Speaker 2: and he has no other rugby codes to fragment his.
Speaker 2: Talent mahendra good, email thanks. Mate jason At newstalk saidb
Speaker 2: dot co dot nz is the email. Address lots of
Speaker 2: text to get, to but let's get back to the.
Speaker 2: Phones Cane, hi, mate.

Speaker 2: That's you're, right that's what we're about. With you, know
Speaker 2: The All blacks go out to win every Single test.
Speaker 2: Match and, look the optimist in, me And i'm a
Speaker 2: bit of an eternal, optimist, says, yes we can go
Speaker 2: over there and win the. Series but the cold hard
Speaker 2: facts of it all are that we're not favorite to do.
Speaker 10: That, Yes and do you remember what happened twenty four
Speaker 10: years ago in two thousand and. Two In august two
Speaker 10: thousand and, two A South africa kin then. Attacked he
Speaker 10: Attacked Finy Difity Irishman David hugh mceugh remember, THAT i.
Speaker 5: DO i remember it.
Speaker 2: WELL i remember it. WELL i think his name was
Speaker 2: something Van zeal or something like.
Speaker 10: That Peter vanie, Mate, yeah And. Richie richie came to his,
Speaker 10: rescue the ref's. Rescue but my point, is imagine the
Speaker 10: pressure the ref's going to be under, made you, know
Speaker 10: just especially if we bounced out to a one or
Speaker 10: drawn we come to the third test and it come
Speaker 10: down to a vital decision and a third test that reskin.
Speaker 10: Games he's going to have sixty thousand. Screaming peter Van
Speaker 10: ziel's watching.
Speaker 7: Him.
Speaker 10: BOY i, HOPE i hope we don't get A french.
Speaker 10: Reef that's All i'm hoping. For if we get A
Speaker 10: french Ref oh, man.
Speaker 2: Jeez i've actually been. ASKED a couple Of texas have
Speaker 2: asked who the referees are for the. SERIES i don't
Speaker 2: know that they've been appointed. Yet and he's going to
Speaker 2: get onto. IT i haven't asked him, yet but presumably he.
Speaker 2: Will he normally has his e S prac capit things like.
Speaker 3: This we'll.
Speaker 2: See we can find who the referees are for these these,
Speaker 2: tests if they have in fact been. Named, yeah, look
Speaker 2: it must be hardey going To Alice, park going To Cape,
Speaker 2: town going To Soccer city and having you, know just
Speaker 2: such a huge home crowd baying for. You you hope
Speaker 2: that they'll be strong enough to remain, impartial And i'm
Speaker 2: sure they, will, yes.
Speaker 10: Hope so, mate do you Remember i'm thinking, now why
Speaker 10: didn't they do this for the twenty fifteen Or blecks
Speaker 10: that had an eighty five percent winning? RECORD i, mean
Speaker 10: why do they wait till with the All blecks has
Speaker 10: sort of round about the seventy seven when he. Record
Speaker 10: but STILL i still think we can go with it
Speaker 10: and beat them three, one, mate without a.
Speaker 2: Doubt all, right good on, you, Mate, LOOK i hope you're.
Speaker 2: RIGHT i would love to see. IT i think we're

Speaker 2: Memory in a few months since So South african, fans
Speaker 2: are you as confident as as your you, know the
Speaker 2: majority of the country men seem to be Everything i've
Speaker 2: seen From South african fans And i've had a bit
Speaker 2: of a look online and that sort of, thing as
Speaker 2: they fully believe and probably rightly, so that they're going
Speaker 2: to win this series and win it. Comfortably is that
Speaker 2: how you're feeling about? It, oh eight hundred and eighty ten,
Speaker 2: eighty we'd love to hear from, You. Peggy, Hi, yeah
Speaker 2: how are you?
Speaker 10: Doing very?
Speaker 2: Good thank, You Peter.
Speaker 14: Old South africans are not. Sure it's, confidence let's put
Speaker 14: it that, Way And i'd say that they.
Speaker 3: Did they.
Speaker 14: Did they have a little bit to be confident. About
Speaker 14: there's quite an aura about the, team and much the
Speaker 14: same way as there is an aura about The orblecks
Speaker 14: in twenty. Fifteen but you've got to wonder are they
Speaker 14: letting the aura feed the team or are they building
Speaker 14: the team to feed the.
Speaker 16: Aura that's a.
Speaker 2: Very good, Question. HEATHER i think the, yeah the aura. Builds,
Speaker 2: well my gut reaction is an aura builds around the.
Speaker 2: Team so once you start winning matches in the fashion
Speaker 2: that they, are this aura creates, itself just like The
Speaker 2: All blacks teams that you've referenced and the ones you
Speaker 2: know immediately after twenty fifteen that were really good sides,
Speaker 2: too that won all of those matches in a. ROW
Speaker 2: i think you get to a point where your play
Speaker 2: a team like that and, think, man how are we
Speaker 2: going to beat these?
Speaker 14: Guys, yeah but then there's also the problem with if
Speaker 14: you've got an aura building around a team and a
Speaker 14: core of, players there's always a temptation as a coach
Speaker 14: to just hold on to those players maybe slightly past
Speaker 14: THE us by. Day AND i think that might have
Speaker 14: happened with The orbacks in twenty. Nineteen we didn't refresh
Speaker 14: quickly enough or or early. Enough And i'm just, wondering
Speaker 14: when you look at a lot of the very familiar
Speaker 14: names in the Spring box, squad if they might be
Speaker 14: guilty of possibly going down that.
Speaker 2: PATH i hope so from An All BLACK i, hope, So,
Speaker 2: peter don't we?
Speaker 17: All don't we?
Speaker 14: ALL i, mean you, know, yeah they've got a couple
Speaker 14: of you, know absolutely champion. Locks they've got a couple
Speaker 14: of young turns coming. Up i've seen some of the
Speaker 14: stats on these, guys are you, know six foot eight
Speaker 14: and one hundred and forty five kgs a PCs And i'm,
Speaker 14: thinking my, goodness no wonder their props are on steroids
Speaker 14: and they lift those. Guys but you, know it's it's,
Speaker 14: yeah it's going to be interesting to see how that
Speaker 14: that pathway progresses and the other. Factors of, course you
Speaker 14: don't have to play your rugby In South africa to
Speaker 14: represent the spring box.
Speaker 2: Anymore, no that that has been brought to a lot
Speaker 2: of people's. Attention, Peter you're, right AND i guess the
Speaker 2: obvious follow on from that is should we could we
Speaker 2: do we need to follow? Suit, look you, Know i'm
Speaker 2: not sure that's a discussion for, today but you're. RIGHT
Speaker 2: i mean it doesn't seem to have affected their national
Speaker 2: team of. Anything it's enhanced.
Speaker 14: It, yeah well that's the other situation everybody's talking. About the,
Speaker 14: REPS i mean gets so Many, well in, fact you,
Speaker 14: know most of The South africans now playing The arabia
Speaker 14: in the north of the, hemisphere and to be fair to,
Speaker 14: say they do ref the game a little bit different
Speaker 14: north of the equator than they do down. Here so
Speaker 14: it depends what hemisphere the rest come. From could be
Speaker 14: a factor in how the game goes and who gets
Speaker 14: an advantage from.
Speaker 2: There just before you, Go, peter HAVE i offered you
Speaker 2: to to? Today would you take it a too aall series?
Speaker 15: Draw?
Speaker 14: No, no my blood's too black for.
Speaker 15: That.
Speaker 14: NO i want to beat them every possible CHANCE i.
Speaker 14: Can so it's going to be anders in to see
Speaker 14: how it. GOES i, Reckon rennie's gonna basically treat this
Speaker 14: whole tour as a practice run for The World. Cup
Speaker 14: treat the week games as the pool matches against, minnows
Speaker 14: and then try to keep the powder dry develop the
Speaker 14: team for the big games at the.
Speaker 2: End great, Observation, peter great. OBSERVATION i think you might
Speaker 2: be onto something there because the way the tour is.
Speaker 2: Structured you're exactly. Right that's what it looks like we've.
Speaker 2: Got we've got the storm of sharks and balls first
Speaker 2: before the First, test then The. Lions so, yeah if
Speaker 2: you treat that sort of first four match blocks as pol,
Speaker 2: matches then there's The lions, game and then three more
Speaker 2: big test. Matches that does correlate nicely into A World cup,
Speaker 2: rehearsal doesn't? It three, tough tough test matches at the back.
Speaker 2: End of a tournament to win The World. Cup what
Speaker 2: better prep could there? Be god on your hope to
Speaker 2: speak to you often during this, tour, Mate, oh eight
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty is our? Number why would you?
Speaker 2: Take Richie muonga says this text when you have up
Speaker 2: and come first fives Like Cam miller And Josh. JACOB
Speaker 2: i think the reason is because it is going to
Speaker 2: Be august of twenty twenty, six Not august of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: FOUR i think if you're looking to develop, players you
Speaker 2: do that at the start of A World cup, cycle
Speaker 2: not when there's fifteen months to go until That World.
Speaker 2: Cup AND i Know Dave rennie's hands are tied because
Speaker 2: he's only just taken the team, over BUT i think
Speaker 2: everything that we do now inside The All blacks has
Speaker 2: to be through the filter of The Rugby World cup next. Year,
Speaker 2: yes this is a massive tour and of, itself and
Speaker 2: you want to try and win all of these test
Speaker 2: matches as, Well but in terms of developing players and blooding. Players,
Speaker 2: look there's obviously been a couple That Dave rennie has,
Speaker 2: introduced and think more than a couple over the first
Speaker 2: three test matches of this. Year BUT i don't think
Speaker 2: there's anybody anybody on this. Tour i'll put it this.
Speaker 2: Way the forty four players who get named, TOMORROW i
Speaker 2: think The World cup squad next year will be drawn
Speaker 2: from those forty, four with a couple of injury. Exceptions
Speaker 2: And Richie, MWONGA i don't think anybody's going to bolt
Speaker 2: into the team In Super rugby next. Year AS i say,
Speaker 2: this AND i mentioned a couple of. Injuries Caleb tungetaw
Speaker 2: might be one who. Does if he can recover from
Speaker 2: his latest injury and have a really Good Super rugby
Speaker 2: season next, year he. Might BUT i think the forty
Speaker 2: four that are named tomorrow will will be the base
Speaker 2: from which The World cup squad has picked because we
Speaker 2: only have fifteen, months only a limited, time And Dave
Speaker 2: reenie has to make the most of all of that. Time,
Speaker 2: whereas And i'm not telling you anything you don't already,
Speaker 2: know when a coach takes over at the start of
Speaker 2: A World cup, cycle he's got four years to get
Speaker 2: things in, order and it can use the first couple
Speaker 2: of those years to try things, out to blood some new,
Speaker 2: players to look at different. Combinations Dave rennie doesn't have that.
Speaker 2: Luxury great call From. Peter treat this like A World
Speaker 2: cup dress. Rehearsal treat this tool like, that because it's
Speaker 2: going to be as tough as.
Speaker 9: That, Hey, brent, hey maybe here you.
Speaker 2: Go very, Good, brent thank.
Speaker 18: You.
Speaker 19: YEAH i think three one to, them AND i was still.
Speaker 19: Happy i'm just worry about our, boards where like the
Speaker 19: guy's going on about how they got huge men and
Speaker 19: all that in our. POPS i don't, know you, Know
Speaker 19: i'll get. It i'm worried about those early. Games they
Speaker 19: might try and need him to smash us up a little.
Speaker 19: Bit Maybe i'm, wrong but we might have too much
Speaker 19: taste and too much power for those other. Teams BUT
Speaker 19: i didn't see them smashing us. Up and then that's
Speaker 19: when we get to The test's going to be four
Speaker 19: hard test against. Them it's going to be so bloody.
Speaker 19: AWKWARD i, mean So i'm looking another. Angle i'm just
Speaker 19: thinking that our top players like this to put them
Speaker 19: a wake up called one and like, yes knocked. Over
Speaker 19: LIKE i said the other, day you're going to get
Speaker 19: some injories and there'll be the three start well going
Speaker 19: for us from the. Minute i'm guessing that's what's going
Speaker 19: to happen and three, One i'd be happy with. That
Speaker 19: and thing coming up next Year World, Cup, yes that's,
Speaker 19: enough that's WHAT i.
Speaker 2: Think i'd only be happy with three one brand if
Speaker 2: we can look at it in the hindsight at the
Speaker 2: back end of next year and we've won The World,
Speaker 2: cup you, know three to. ONE i think against any
Speaker 2: any opposition a three to one series, loss even if
Speaker 2: it Is South, Africa look it could be three. One
Speaker 2: that's one possible. Outcome, OBVIOUSLY i think if we were
Speaker 2: to lose three to, one would say that's really disappointing
Speaker 2: because we expect The All blacks to be very competitive
Speaker 2: in Every test that they. Play they may well be
Speaker 2: and still lose lose three to. One just on your
Speaker 2: point about the early, GAMES i Heard davenny say that
Speaker 2: not only is he's got he's got his forty, four
Speaker 2: but he's got us matched a twenty three for the
Speaker 2: first four games of this Tour, Stormers, Sharks balls and
Speaker 2: the First. Test so clearly he's on top of what
Speaker 2: he wants in terms of getting minutes into these, guys
Speaker 2: but also making sure that they're not too beaten up
Speaker 2: by the time The test matches. Arrive So i'd be
Speaker 2: very very interesting to see what he does in terms of.
Speaker 7: Selection, oh that's that's.
Speaker 19: GOOD i, HOPE i hope that's to. Plans But i'll
Speaker 19: just worry about. THAT i just want to talk about The.
Speaker 19: Blues the woman's what a. Game that was Phenomenal and
Speaker 19: any time of team to go down the stadium and when,
Speaker 19: there it's pretty. Impressive.
Speaker 2: OH i thought it was a terrific game as, Well.
Speaker 2: BRENT i don't have ANY i don't support either of
Speaker 2: the two. TEAMS i just watched AS i watched it
Speaker 2: as a neutral super rugby. Opick he's got this habit
Speaker 2: of producing Magnificent grand finals and yesterday was another. One and,
Speaker 2: yeah for The blues to go down there right at
Speaker 2: the end when it's twenty, one all twenty, one all
Speaker 2: right at the, end and they get a, penalty they
Speaker 2: get a, penalty they get they get a penalty you
Speaker 2: know in a very kickable person which would have given
Speaker 2: them the. Win AND i CAN'T i can't remember who it.
Speaker 2: Was took a quick tap and you, know what are you?
Speaker 2: Doing why are you doing? That why would you just
Speaker 2: take the take the three points and win the game that?
Speaker 2: Way but as it turned out it was, Okay so,
Speaker 2: yeah a very exciting. Game and well under The, blues
Speaker 2: that's three in a. Row that's that's some dynasty their.
Speaker 6: Building so that's the first.
Speaker 19: Game that any team was actually lost down there to
Speaker 19: a touring team or team because The crusaders have.
Speaker 7: Lost The.
Speaker 19: Gills have finally lost THE us down, there and they
Speaker 19: down there very very very easily and smashed.
Speaker 2: Us got on your. Bent, yeah, no, first you're, right
Speaker 2: first time my home team's lost their good crowd, too
Speaker 2: really good crowd there. Yesterday congratulations to The blues betting
Speaker 2: butter two in the in the final. Yesterday you LIKE
Speaker 2: i say, that but at the, end if that's gone
Speaker 2: the other, WAY i don't know who it was who
Speaker 2: took the quick, Tap but like time's, up times, up
Speaker 2: it's the score scores a, Level blues are given a,
Speaker 2: penalty like to, say in a really kickable, position it's
Speaker 2: only got just off to the right of the. Posts
Speaker 2: and INSTEAD i don't know who it was who made
Speaker 2: the decision the split second spur of the moment decision
Speaker 2: to take a, tap but they, did and initially they
Speaker 2: were held up until the ball got spun wide To
Speaker 2: caitlin call of and she scored the winning. Try but,
Speaker 2: MAN i thought to myself, afterwards what if it hadn't
Speaker 2: turned out that? Way what if what If matatu had
Speaker 2: held out and then gone down and won. It what
Speaker 2: would the repercussions around that decision have? Been, Anyway thankfully
Speaker 2: we didn't have to worry too much about that. One
Speaker 2: twenty three were going to just get through a few
Speaker 2: texts before we move. On piece's. Party who's the? Possibility
Speaker 2: they named forty three tomorrow and then after two or
Speaker 2: three games they Pulled Richie, moonger AND i guess they
Speaker 2: could never say. Never we're told they're going to name
Speaker 2: forty five tomorrow and we've been told also That richie's
Speaker 2: not in that, Squad so, YEAH i think it'll be
Speaker 2: it'll be an injury. Situation shane, says, finally unfortunate to
Speaker 2: be going To South africa for the three. Tests, ma'am
Speaker 2: what a trip that'll, Be. Shane i'm hoping for a
Speaker 2: two to one. Result if, not THEN i don't want
Speaker 2: The All blacks to die. Wondering we need to make
Speaker 2: Sure South africa has something to worry about next. Year Thanks,
Speaker 2: shane have a great. Trip what a. Trip that'll be
Speaker 2: three massive test matches over. There this one Says Jason
Speaker 2: ford deal To South, africa but The All blacks make
Speaker 2: The Nation's cup final Against South, africa where The All
Speaker 2: blacks will. Win the only little floor in that plan
Speaker 2: is That South africa and The All blacks can't play
Speaker 2: one another in The Nation's championship final because they're both
Speaker 2: in the same. Pool so it's the top of our
Speaker 2: pall against the top of the other. Pool so we
Speaker 2: can't play each other unfortunately in The Nation's cup. Final
Speaker 2: what in the world makes you think riche more and
Speaker 2: will defeat the? BOX a team of champions is not.
Speaker 2: Good we need a champion team and the current team
Speaker 2: that Beat island has one such. Team, look, YEAH i
Speaker 2: don't THINK i said That Richie moonger is going to
Speaker 2: be the magic bullet. HERE i Think Ruben love is
Speaker 2: playing tremendous rugby at number. Ten but what do they,
Speaker 2: say iron sharpened z. Iion that seems to be one
Speaker 2: of the catchphrases at the moment that you want the
Speaker 2: best players competing for positions down the. Years that's what
Speaker 2: one of the things that's made The All black so.
Speaker 2: Strong competition for places excellence in all. POSITIONS i Think
Speaker 2: Ruben love would, say bring it. On i've got the
Speaker 2: jersey at the. Moment you want to get, it come
Speaker 2: and get. It put some pressure on. Me one twenty.
Speaker 2: Five thanks for your, calls your, correspondence. Etc on the.
Speaker 2: Rugby just before we, Move i'm going to talk The
Speaker 2: warriors after. Two we're going to do it after, one

Speaker 18: HONEST i had kind of a couple of months there
Speaker 18: in the wilderness AFTER i came back From korea WHERE
Speaker 18: i just went and played some games down in THE,
Speaker 18: mpl which was probably really. GOOD i hadn't had a
Speaker 18: consistent run of games like that over in career in
Speaker 18: my last, year so, yeah it's good to be fully,
Speaker 18: fit playing and.
Speaker 5: Everything So i'd definitely love to win something here. Again
Speaker 5: it'd be.
Speaker 2: Great it's been a while since we saw in THE A.
Speaker 2: League we remember, you AS i, say during your time
Speaker 2: With SYDNEY fc And Western United Perth. Glory how do
Speaker 2: you reflect on your time up In?
Speaker 5: Asia, yeah it was.
Speaker 18: Unreal it's definitely a challenge in its own, right but
Speaker 18: it was great to go and test myself at pretty
Speaker 18: high levels of. Football, Yeah LIKE i, said it doesn't
Speaker 18: always pan out the way you, want BUT i had
Speaker 18: an overall pretty successful time. There so it's probably the
Speaker 18: last year of my. Contract so, YEAH i was unreal
Speaker 18: experience and YEAH i learned a. Lot but it's good
Speaker 18: to be.
Speaker 2: Home you're still only, thirty but you've accumulated a lot of.
Speaker 2: EXPERIENCE i remember your debut For SYDNEY. FC i think
Speaker 2: before you even turn, seventeen one of the youngest players
Speaker 2: ever to play for the Sky. Blues so with all
Speaker 2: of that experience you've, gathered how does that sort of
Speaker 2: come out on the way you? Play how do you
Speaker 2: bring that experience to beer when you play your?
Speaker 5: FOOTBALL i think just a leadership on the.
Speaker 18: PITCH i Think i'm pretty calm and composed compared to
Speaker 18: maybe WHEN i was a younger. Kid, yeah you just
Speaker 18: learn along the way and HOPEFULLY i can guide some
Speaker 18: of these younger defenders that we have around. Me so,
Speaker 18: yeah nothing too, extravagant but, YEAH i think that just
Speaker 18: happens as you accumulate years as a.
Speaker 2: PRO i think have the first few days With auckland
Speaker 2: Been has it been an easy place to settle?
Speaker 5: Into, yeah very.
Speaker 18: Easy have my first training session this, morning so gave

Speaker 18: Yeah i'm sure they're all really nice, guys so it'd
Speaker 18: be good good to get in with, them.

Speaker 2: a good life to show you Around. Norkland i'm not

Speaker 21: or Those staminants as. Well he's kind OF gq ready
Speaker 21: in my. Opinion but, yeah look it is a. CHAMPIONSHIP
Speaker 21: i was hoping you'd go to a bigger, club but
Speaker 21: this is a. Beauty the power of The World cup
Speaker 21: Is i've spent a lot of Money swansea there get,
Speaker 21: him AND i think this is one of those, things
Speaker 21: Like i've said a couple of weeks, ago if you've
Speaker 21: got a kid who's five, six five foot seven and
Speaker 21: sessy five kg's dripping, wet, fretnot he could be an
Speaker 21: international sports star who gets paid millions of.
Speaker 2: Dollars, well he'scored a goal on his debu For swansea
Speaker 2: in a friendly, match and he the way he moved
Speaker 2: away from a defender who was much bigger than he
Speaker 2: is and and found a nice shot to the bottom.
Speaker 2: Corner that Is. Eli just, now you're, Right, James you
Speaker 2: know you don't have to be the size Of Earling
Speaker 2: harland to be a you, know to be a good football, Player, no.
Speaker 21: Exactly and, look if you're thinking about, goats And i've
Speaker 21: got To i've got a sort Of Mount rushmore and
Speaker 21: Extended Mount rushmore in four and about three or four of,
Speaker 21: them Including Lionel, Messi, Diego maradonna And ronaldo are not big.
Speaker 21: Men Although I'm i'm a big fan Of Zennidin zadan
Speaker 21: And Johann krouf as.
Speaker 11: Well if that sort of rounds out some of the.
Speaker 2: Greats so you, know it's a game for all shapes and,
Speaker 2: sizes that's for. Sure now did you catch up with
Speaker 2: the news That Jurgen klopp is going to take charge Of? Germany?
Speaker 11: YES i, Did and, look this is the whole.
Speaker 21: Thing Ugen klopp is probably the most in demand football.
Speaker 21: Manager BUT i love that he's actually going to coach
Speaker 21: the national. Team it'll be a well paid, job but
Speaker 21: not by his. Standards he will make such a massive difference.
Speaker 21: THERE i, mean you're A liverpool, fan you know what
Speaker 21: he can. DO i Think Jurgen klopp is probably one
Speaker 21: of those guys who's just got. That you, know he's,
Speaker 21: magnetic he's GOT x factor and he will he'll be
Speaker 21: special for them And demain Shaft as called that. Name
Speaker 21: it's quite an interesting name for a.
Speaker 11: Team but they they, expect you, know, excellence and he
Speaker 11: will deliver.
Speaker 2: That absolutely all, right other matters Around Lebron, james who
Speaker 2: is now forty one years, old has signed with the
Speaker 2: FOURTH nba, team The philadelphia Seventy. Sixes he says this
Speaker 2: will be his LAST nba. Contract four time, champion twenty
Speaker 2: two Time All, star highest point scorer in the history
Speaker 2: of THE. Nba what do you predict For lebron at
Speaker 2: the seventy.
Speaker 21: SIXES i think this is a really savvy move from
Speaker 21: a player who is that old that he's really it's
Speaker 21: the twilight.
Speaker 11: Year he's probably only got. One he did say he
Speaker 11: was going to, retire but then this opportunity came.
Speaker 21: Up he's gone to the perfect landing. SPOT i think
Speaker 21: this semi sixts can win the whole. THING i think
Speaker 21: they will win it With.
Speaker 11: Lebron this is one of my.
Speaker 21: Predictions FINAL i think With Jalen brown going from The
Speaker 21: Boston celtics to, there he's, outstanding proper. Superstar now you've
Speaker 21: got Tyres, maxi who's playing at THE mvp levels at point, GUARD.
Speaker 21: Vj edgecombe as one of the best young stars in THE.
Speaker 21: Nba and then rounding up that starting, five if you,
Speaker 21: like Is JOE, lmb the genuine big man who can dominate.
Speaker 11: Games but they'll put him on ice until the playoffs
Speaker 11: AND i think they will be, very very hard to.
Speaker 21: Beat so maybe another, WELL i think another title For
Speaker 21: lebron to finish his.
Speaker 2: Career and high excitement and the background there In, GLASGOW
Speaker 2: i can hear, That jameson AND i wonder about your
Speaker 2: levels of excitement ahead of the, week you know where
Speaker 2: we'll see a lot Of kiwis in. Action anyone in
Speaker 2: particular you're keen to keep an eye on at The
Speaker 2: Calm games over the next seven days or.
Speaker 21: So, Yeah, Look I'm i'm big on athletics at the,
Speaker 21: moment AND i think there's a couple of athletes who
Speaker 21: could get on the. Podium one in particular is a
Speaker 21: young hammer thrower Called Anthony barms with AN m and
Speaker 21: he's he's got six hundred thousand followers on TikTok because
Speaker 21: he threw a speaker with a song From wicked on,
Speaker 21: it And Ariana grande put him on social media and
Speaker 21: suddenly he isn't on The Tim pain, levels let's be,
Speaker 21: honest but that's pretty good From. ANTHONY i want to
Speaker 21: See Jordy beamish against The kenyans and the steeple. Chase
Speaker 21: that'll be. Epic he's going to run pretty. EARLY i
Speaker 21: think that finals early in the. Week and of course
Speaker 21: you've Got Tom walsh with his young. Apprentice So Nick
Speaker 21: palmer went to live in crosshats With. Tom tom's kind
Speaker 21: of like you, know it's pretty much Like quo Gon
Speaker 21: jin And Obi Wan. Kenobi IF i can go back
Speaker 21: to episode one On Star wars IF i, may and
Speaker 21: Now Nick palmer is Threatening Tom walsh there AND i
Speaker 21: think they'll both podium and it'll be amazing thing For New.
Speaker 11: Zealand So Tom walsh And Nick parmer in the.

Speaker 2: Two The warriors have suffered a setback in their quest
Speaker 2: for a top two finish in THE. Nrl that a,
Speaker 2: Do that'll. Do the have done it, again.
Speaker 21: The blue and white Of i'm making a finals run
Speaker 21: full time at A Corps chanterbury eighteen The warriors.
Speaker 10: Six.
Speaker 2: Yeah tough outing For Andrew webster's. Side they struggled to
Speaker 2: break down their hosts and paid the price for a
Speaker 2: lack of possession and missed. Opportunities that defeat sees them
Speaker 2: slipped to third on the. Ladder plenty to reflect on
Speaker 2: as the finals edge ever close Up covering the game
Speaker 2: for The New Zealand herald was rugby league Journalist Michael,
Speaker 2: burgess who joins us now Burg was this simply a
Speaker 2: case of The bulldogs being the better side last night
Speaker 2: or did The warriors have themselves to blame in some key?
Speaker 2: Moments okay more.
Speaker 9: The Former piney The bulldogs are. Excellent you know they've
Speaker 9: been struggling the. Season where are they? Think they're in eleventh?
Speaker 9: Place but they looked more like the team that made
Speaker 9: the top four last. Season they looked they looked really
Speaker 9: good and they're big Guns Stephen, Crichton Matt, burton kickou
Speaker 9: or the Former penrith. Boys they really stood. Up you,
Speaker 9: know they were. Great they got their offloading game. Going
Speaker 9: The warriors weren't completely. Themselves plenty of, effort but they're
Speaker 9: a little bit. Inaccurate and then you, know on a
Speaker 9: night like, that when things aren't going, away a couple
Speaker 9: of rest calls don't go your way as. Well but,
Speaker 9: no The bulldogs were really good AND i think that
Speaker 9: was the fear of a lot of people coming into this.
Speaker 2: Match can we write this officer off night for The
Speaker 2: warriors or did The bulldogs actually expose a couple of genuine? Concerns,
Speaker 2: YEAH i mean that's a great.
Speaker 9: QUESTION i THINK i think you concern would be the
Speaker 9: fact that The warriors weren't great last week, either you
Speaker 9: know against The dragons they were a bit sloppy that
Speaker 9: it was much closer than one, thought and so we,
Speaker 9: thought oh that was an off. Night so so what
Speaker 9: has this? BECOME i, mean the one thing about playing
Speaker 9: The bulldogs is they play exactly the same style as The,
Speaker 9: warriors and last night they just did it. Better so
Speaker 9: they are a hard team to. Play The warriors struggle against,
Speaker 9: Them let's be. Honest i've lost now the last four
Speaker 9: matches Against Cannary banks now and going back To may
Speaker 9: twenty twenty, Three so you, know other teams present different,
Speaker 9: threats and The bulldogs do make The warriors particularly. Uncomfortable
Speaker 9: but there are a few little questions in my. Head
Speaker 9: The harbs didn't go well for the second week in a.
Speaker 9: Row the centers are. Struggling everyone knows that's kind of
Speaker 9: a weak point at the. MOMENT i guess in The,
Speaker 9: fords you, know for one of the first time the,
Speaker 9: season we're outpointed by their opposite.
Speaker 2: Pack Luke metcalfe was there last, night not used on the.
Speaker 2: Interchange is it time to break this glass and Introduce
Speaker 2: Luke metcalfe back into the side birge or?
Speaker 26: No, YEAH i don't.
Speaker 9: Know it's a big. CALL i don't Think Andrew webster
Speaker 9: will do. IT i think he'll look at the fact
Speaker 9: they're going to play The titans next week on The
Speaker 9: Gold coast where they get a lot OF keii. Support
Speaker 9: that's where they'll bounce Back hill back To marty And,
Speaker 9: chanelle who have done well in the eight nine games.
Speaker 10: Together but.
Speaker 9: The thing, is it's coming to the Point piney where
Speaker 9: he's got.
Speaker 5: To make a.
Speaker 9: CALL i would have, thought you, know either locks in
Speaker 9: on these two for the rest of the, season or
Speaker 9: as you, say he Brings metcuff. Back what have we
Speaker 9: got now six games to? Go it Brings metcuff back
Speaker 9: as an option for.
Speaker 5: The rest of the.
Speaker 9: Year it's one of the most difficult. DECISIONS i think
Speaker 9: that he has.
Speaker 2: To make that, aside he usually finds the right response after,
Speaker 2: defeats doesn't And Andrew. Webster but when he sits down
Speaker 2: and then gets ready for the, week what do you
Speaker 2: think the biggest areas will be demanding improvement as they
Speaker 2: look towards The, titans and then of course beyond that
Speaker 2: a massive game Against.
Speaker 9: PENRITH i, mean as you, said it wasn't they weren't.
Speaker 9: Terrible you, know let's keep it and picked they went
Speaker 9: terrible and The bulldogs were really. Good BUT i think
Speaker 9: he would just be disappointed with the two things, really
Speaker 9: the defensive intensity and the failure to shut down the second.
Speaker 9: Phase like everyone, knows The bulldogs have a lot of
Speaker 9: threat with offloadings and The warriors just couldn't shut that.
Speaker 9: Down and then the second thing is the chances they did,
Speaker 9: have especially in the first half in the red, zone
Speaker 9: they just didn't. Take you, know in a night like
Speaker 9: that was always going to be, close you've got to
Speaker 9: Take you've got to take your, chances make the right,
Speaker 9: decisions throw the right. Pass so and that made it
Speaker 9: really hard because you, know The fords worked their socks
Speaker 9: off all, night but The warriors were always always behind
Speaker 9: a lot of scoreboard pressure and that.
Speaker 2: Paid do The bulldogs look like a side who could
Speaker 2: push for the?
Speaker 9: Eight, yeah yeah they. Could on last night's, performance they.
Speaker 9: Could they don't have much march of. Error they've just
Speaker 9: about got to win every, MATCH i, think or maybe
Speaker 9: they could afford to drop. One but, YEAH i just
Speaker 9: think the Fact i've been, there they've got the, pedigree
Speaker 9: they've got a hard working, pack and they've got the
Speaker 9: three guns THAT i mentioned. Before they could make the,
Speaker 9: eighth but they could veriasily miss. OUT i, mean it's
Speaker 9: such a tight competition as, always and they've probably left
Speaker 9: their run too.
Speaker 2: Late all, Right, well both sides now prepare for next.
Speaker 2: Weekend just While i've got you you switch into football
Speaker 2: mode this afternoon Because AUCKLAND fc Played Tottenham hotspur At
Speaker 2: Eden park this. Afternoon massive crowd expected at this. One
Speaker 2: just how significant is this burge to have one of
Speaker 2: the biggest clubs in the. World, really let's face it
Speaker 2: playing here In New.
Speaker 9: Zealand it's absolutely, massive, Mate it's just. HUGE i remember
Speaker 9: WHEN i mean for a, start it's only the second
Speaker 9: time in this century we've had A Premier league team.
Speaker 9: Here of course we Had Newcastle united and West ham
Speaker 9: brought up By Wellington phoenix in twenty. Fourteen that was
Speaker 9: a great, occasion played the matches In wellington And auckland
Speaker 9: as you'd. Remember but this is. Bigger you, Know spurs
Speaker 9: are in the top. Ten forget about all their problems
Speaker 9: in the last two. Seasons they're in the top ten
Speaker 9: clubs in the world in terms of, revenue in terms
Speaker 9: of global fan, base and we got a glimpse of that.
Speaker 9: YESTERDAY i was fascinating to go to the team hotel
Speaker 9: and do some interviews with the, coach With Andy. Robinson
Speaker 9: but you, know just things like they told us they're
Speaker 9: traveling with about ninety five. Staff ninety five staff coming
Speaker 9: all the way To australia And New, zealand including you,
Speaker 9: know they bring their own. Security but you know that's
Speaker 9: JUST i, MEAN i was having a chat Dow andrew
Speaker 9: several afterwards and he said to, me you, know he
Speaker 9: thought The All blacks were a big, machine but it
Speaker 9: made The All blacks look quite.
Speaker 11: Small you.
Speaker 9: Know it's just it's just it's just another level and
Speaker 9: they don't normally come this. Far so it's a it's
Speaker 9: a brilliant situation to be happening and it should be
Speaker 9: a great occasion to, fight despite the fact that the
Speaker 9: weather forecast here In auckland is not.
Speaker 2: Great all, Right, well LOOK i hope that doesn't play it's.
Speaker 2: PART i think there'll still be a mess of crowd
Speaker 2: and obviously a high degree of interest in having a
Speaker 2: club Like tottenham. Here but what About auckland F. C
Speaker 2: what will they look to get out of? THIS i
Speaker 2: don't think this will be their first game since they
Speaker 2: won The Grand, final won't? It so that's going. Back
Speaker 2: but what will they look to get out of this?
Speaker 2: Afternoon it's a hard, one isn't. IT I mean it's
Speaker 2: early in the preseason for. Them they've, got you, know
Speaker 2: for the world's longest, preseason as they always talk. About
Speaker 2: BUT i think they look to get a lot out of.
Speaker 9: IT i, mean for a, start they've got so many
Speaker 9: young players in the squad and so many players looking
Speaker 9: to make an early. Impact imagine this when you're, seventeen
Speaker 9: eighteen nineteen and you get a chance to get on
Speaker 9: the field Against, Spurs so that that's, something and then
Speaker 9: there's a whole lot of other you, know they're more established.
Speaker 9: Players this is an amazing opportunity to show what they can.
Speaker 9: DO i, mean they've got nothing to, lose they can
Speaker 9: give it a real, go and just it's also something
Speaker 9: that you know would PUT i don't, know it just
Speaker 9: makes them look some people realize The auclifts is back
Speaker 9: and they're here to make a.
Speaker 2: Mark, indeed indeed they've lost a few, players gained a.
Speaker 2: Couple still waiting for a confirmation of head. Coach but
Speaker 2: you wrote during the week you know in fairly certain
Speaker 2: terms as to as to who that's going to, be
Speaker 2: so that that, appointment do you understand will be confirmed
Speaker 2: in the next couple of, DAYS i think.
Speaker 9: SO i think it will be The Portuguese Pedro, morita
Speaker 9: who has got quite a GOOD. Cv he's been in
Speaker 9: football a long. TIME i think it's a it's quite
Speaker 9: an interesting and also exciting. Appointment and, yeah i'd expect
Speaker 9: it to be confirmed in the coming. Week so, yeah
Speaker 9: they don't have a coach going to the, match which
Speaker 9: is a little bit, unusual but to be, fair they've
Speaker 9: only had about a month Since Steve criker left and
Speaker 9: So i'd rather they take their time in finding the
Speaker 9: right guy instead of. Rushing so, yeah it'll be it'll
Speaker 9: be great to see when he is. Confirmed and NOW
Speaker 9: i guess things really get going from. There But i'm
Speaker 9: pretty sure he'd be watching wherever he is in the.
Speaker 27: World.
Speaker 2: Absolutely while you talked About tottenham security, before but you've
Speaker 2: just returned from The World cup and if anyone's got big,
Speaker 2: security it's The World. Cup your diplomacy skills would have
Speaker 2: been fined with The tottenham security though now they would have,
Speaker 2: said on you, go, on you, go.
Speaker 9: That's, Right we've we've got a bit of practice over, there.
Speaker 9: Mate but, yeah just it was just it's just next.
Speaker 9: Level but it's what you expect, from you, know The Premier.
Speaker 9: LEAGUE i, mean it's just it. Is forget what anyone
Speaker 9: says it is the biggest sporting competition in the world by.
Speaker 9: Far Andy robinson made a good point to. ME i
Speaker 9: said to, him you, know you must get recognized every.
Speaker 9: Where he, SAYS i do you know he goes on
Speaker 9: holiday but just places Around, europe but goes on holiday
Speaker 9: anywhere in the world and he'll be he'll be stopped
Speaker 9: in the. Streets so, yeah it's another level and it's
Speaker 9: just magic That aucklanders And keyways from around the country
Speaker 9: get to see them in the.
Speaker 2: Flesh, yeah truly global reach and a global. Superpower Tottenham
Speaker 2: otspur Against AUCKLAND fc this, Afternoon, berts thanks for joining
Speaker 2: us to talk a couple of topics this. Afternoon always
Speaker 2: enjoy having a catch.
Speaker 9: Up great to catch, Up, finny good on your.
Speaker 2: Mate That's Michael. Burgess i'll read him at enz heerl
Speaker 2: dot co dot nz covers rugby. League he covers. Football
Speaker 2: on his way To Eden park to Watch tottenham Against AUCKLAND.
Speaker 2: Fc as Is chrissy nearly At Eden, park just pulling
Speaker 2: off At Saint luke's and it's hosing.
Speaker 5: Down.
Speaker 2: YEAH i don't think the weather's that great In. Auckland
Speaker 2: i'm not. There it's okay here In, wellington but there's
Speaker 2: no football here In, wellington that's In. AUCKLAND i don't
Speaker 2: think it'll, matter you. KNOW i Mean tottenham are From,
Speaker 2: london you, know in the depths Of november And december In,
Speaker 2: london it ain't that. FLASH i think they'll be. OKAY
Speaker 2: i think from WHAT i, understand and this is probably you,
Speaker 2: know pretty common For. Auckland it's not that, windy which is.
Speaker 2: Good if it's. Raining it's, raining you, know put a
Speaker 2: jacket on if you're going to, watch and the players won't.
Speaker 2: Care all skid across the. Surface big crowd coming At Eden.
Speaker 2: Park if you're, going if you're nearly, there give c
Speaker 2: L o eight hundred and eighty. Ten be keen to
Speaker 2: hear what you're hoping for From AUCKLAND fc this, afternoon
Speaker 2: or if you're A tottenham, fan From tottenham and on
Speaker 2: The warriors, too keen on your thoughts on that as.
Speaker 2: WELL i watched that game last. NIGHT i don't. KNOW
Speaker 2: i sat down and, thought, okay we should win this,
Speaker 2: Year we'll win this. Game didn't win the game eighteen
Speaker 2: points to. Six it was the sixth that was the worrying.
Speaker 2: Thing LIKE i, SAID i was texting a couple of
Speaker 2: friends last night who were, watching and the fact that
Speaker 2: The warriors just weren't able to create a heck of
Speaker 2: a lot on attack was probably the most surprising part for.
Speaker 2: Me you, know when did they score Their when did
Speaker 2: they score their their? Try it was near the, end wasn't.
Speaker 2: It sort of in the seventieth minute from, memory seventy fourth,
Speaker 2: minute seventy four scoreless minutes for The, warriors this team
Speaker 2: that seems to have found ways of scoring lots of
Speaker 2: tries this? Season what were you? Seeing had a look
Speaker 2: at the stats and they can only tell you so.
Speaker 2: Much but one line break all, night one line break all. Night,
Speaker 2: yes The bulldogs are good, defensively they, are but one
Speaker 2: line break completion. Rate The warrior is completing thirty or
Speaker 2: forty two sets for seventy one, percent The bulldogs thirty
Speaker 2: six or forty. One so that's clearly a big tick
Speaker 2: for The. Bulldogs but if you watched, it be keen
Speaker 2: the hair from you and where are we With Luke
Speaker 2: metcalf BECAUSE i saw him there last. Night he was
Speaker 2: part of the part of the interchange or the, reserves
Speaker 2: but didn't get on you're going to use four obviously
Speaker 2: off the, interchange and he wasn't one of. Them so
Speaker 2: where are we With Luke? METCALF i, know And birch
Speaker 2: made this. POINT i Think Andrew webster would probably prefer
Speaker 2: not to use. Him that that just seems to be
Speaker 2: his mindset Around Luke, metcalf that he's got his halves
Speaker 2: and he's happy with, them and he's going to stick with.
Speaker 2: Them he's going to stick With Tomurdy martin And Chanella Harris,
Speaker 2: Tavita they're going to be his. Halves BUT i look
Speaker 2: At Luke metcalf AND i, think you know, what even
Speaker 2: though he's, leaving we know he's. Going even though he's, GOING.
Speaker 11: I don't.
Speaker 2: Know i'd just like to see him. Used if there
Speaker 2: was an, injury he'd be, used surely if there. Was
Speaker 2: If Tomrty martin went down with an, Injury Luke metcalf would,
Speaker 2: play wouldn't? He so is there a, big big difference
Speaker 2: in making a tactical strategic decision Around Luke metcalf To
Speaker 2: Marty martin's been playing, well very solid since taking over
Speaker 2: From Tanner boyd When Tanner boyd went down At Magic.
Speaker 2: Round But Luke metcalf Is luke. METCALF i just think
Speaker 2: he's got a part to. Play titans, Away panthers at,
Speaker 2: Home broncos, Away Rabbit o's, Away knights at, Home Sea
Speaker 2: eagles at. Home those are the six remaining games for The.
Speaker 2: Warriors hundred and eighty ten eighty two twenty, Five, Lyle
Speaker 2: i'm with you right after this speed line if you
Speaker 2: want to jump aboard and talk From Rugby, LEAGUE oh
Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty ten eighty.
Speaker 1: Sport doesn't stop at the full time Whistle Weekend sports
Speaker 1: With Jason vine and The volkswagen AMARONK v six on
Speaker 1: sale now from eighty nine nine ninety call oh eight
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty ten eighty News.
Speaker 5: Dogs they'd be.
Speaker 2: Two twenty nine Talking warriors could A, lyle what was your, Assessment?
Speaker 26: Mike they moved the last few games that looked very fatigued.
Speaker 26: Enough it's a mental thing or a physical, team but
Speaker 26: they just bobs were playing at one hundred miles an
Speaker 26: hour last. Night The warriors were playing at probably. Eighty
Speaker 26: they couldn't close down the off lads and everything. ELSE
Speaker 26: i think the more concerning fact is that last week
Speaker 26: they were incredibly lucky Into Saint. George they had the
Speaker 26: benefit of a FEW duv, schools and of course a
Speaker 26: lot of people, said oh, well you know the shoes
Speaker 26: on the other for a change in fear of The
Speaker 26: warriors said it had a number of bump calls over the,
Speaker 26: years no. Doubt but the problem is it's the way
Speaker 26: they played last week and. Yesterday look at if you
Speaker 26: told A warriors fan at this stage of the competition
Speaker 26: they'll be running, food which they are before the season,
Speaker 26: started they'd be quite. Wrapped but to put it in
Speaker 26: A american, RUNNERS i think they've had a hortill. Mate
Speaker 26: they just look. Jaded perhaps he is over, training but
Speaker 26: they need something to. Refresh if Footmen James Fisher harris
Speaker 26: come back and look of the, wrecker they'd bounce back.
Speaker 26: Up but if you can't beat sides might Say george
Speaker 26: easily and at least compete With. Canterbury you're not going
Speaker 26: to win the. Championship look this year they're losing a
Speaker 26: number of, players good players at the end of the.
Speaker 26: Year so as much as he's probably very closely i'd
Speaker 26: love to. See well it's The New zealand fans and
Speaker 26: the hunting side to say he's going to. Happen they
Speaker 26: just we've got to put teams like That. St george
Speaker 26: and cannab away at the. Song here it's a marathon
Speaker 26: to win the slightly, competition but you've got to peek
Speaker 26: at the right. Time they've come out of the, blocks
Speaker 26: possibly a little too, fast and NOW i could start
Speaker 26: and the grind them.
Speaker 6: Down Hopefully i'll prove me.
Speaker 26: Roll we've got them here next week on the goal
Speaker 26: got so they won't look to Support.
Speaker 7: Logan will be.
Speaker 26: Empty but, YEAH i was concerned The sletch before it even.
Speaker 26: Played our Nice Canterbury's.
Speaker 6: Well i've only con seen one foll and two.
Speaker 26: Games they're on. Rice but they need to put The
Speaker 26: titans too bad and do it very. CONVINCINGLY i think.
Speaker 2: Good thoughts and good points well made as, always like,
Speaker 2: yeah look The Gold, coast always a big crowd there
Speaker 2: supporting The, warriors and you're, right, yeah they're just starting to,
Speaker 2: stumble ever so. Slightly not great against The, dragons as you,
Speaker 2: say losing The. Bulldogs titan's got to win the game
Speaker 2: and no other. Option got to win that game before
Speaker 2: The panthers at home the following. Week good to check to, You,
Speaker 2: larle stay, Well Hello, Nigel.
Speaker 8: Hello There, jason that game last night was set In

Speaker 2: so just after halftime an extra?
Speaker 8: Time so a normal like, YEAH i, know a normal
Speaker 8: game of rugby like all black professional rugby's eighty minutes
Speaker 8: and that forty minutes each way and that, yeah sokare
Speaker 8: a wee bit longer or the same amount of.
Speaker 2: Minutes, yeah it's a bit longer ninety minutes for a regular, Game.
Speaker 2: Nigel and then if there's, no if they can't separate.
Speaker 2: Them in a knockout game like The World, cup they
Speaker 2: go into two periods of fifteen minutes each, way so
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty minutes all up is, available and
Speaker 2: then they would have gone to. Penalties didn't get there
Speaker 2: With spain getting their winning, goal AND i think most
Speaker 2: people agreed that it was the right call or, sorry
Speaker 2: the right. Outcome good to Chet. To you might want
Speaker 2: to keep on talking, warriores but please go back anytime
Speaker 2: if you want to talk some more, Football, Kevin you'll be, happy.

Speaker 27: Game BUT i don't Know whyries just gave away too, many.
Speaker 5: Too many easy.
Speaker 27: Shots that's for. ME i see rugby leaders like kind
Speaker 27: of like a boxing. Matters you better shut the right
Speaker 27: shots than.
Speaker 22: You know WHAT i?
Speaker 2: Mean, YEAH i don't. Know Andrew webs have talked afterwards
Speaker 2: about the physicality and how it wasn't quite where he
Speaker 2: wanted it to. Be he said they had a good.
Speaker 2: Week i'll play a bit of audio from him in
Speaker 2: a moment he said they had a good, week and
Speaker 2: there was no reason why they wouldn't have muscled up
Speaker 2: the same way they normally. Do The bulldogs certainly muscled,
Speaker 2: up and yeah it was what was? IT i think
Speaker 2: they got their first couple of tries and all of a,
Speaker 2: sudden you, know bang bang the the The bulldogs are
Speaker 2: ahead by by twelve mil or something. Similar oh, yeah
Speaker 2: it was just a mysterious performance for.
Speaker 27: Me, yeah that's it's just they just they just didn't
Speaker 27: execute the right the basics of rugby. Leagues, so AS i,
Speaker 27: said The dogs, One i'm, happy so.
Speaker 2: Excellent. Kevin good to meet you last week as, well,
Speaker 2: mate when you popped into The. Kingslander uh and, yeah
Speaker 2: all the best of Your, doggies. DON'T i, mean they
Speaker 2: may well find themselves in the. Eight just having a
Speaker 2: look at where we are at the. Moment they're up to.
Speaker 2: Ninth their recent forms pretty, good three wins and they
Speaker 2: are lost in the last four. MATCHES i think they
Speaker 2: might include the buy as. Well so last five matches
Speaker 2: there are only two points out of the. Eight who,
Speaker 2: knows maybe The dogies will be. There Andrew webster after the,
Speaker 2: game he was asked for a summary and it was
Speaker 2: put to him that defense was pretty, good but the
Speaker 2: attack wasn't REALLY.
Speaker 28: I think the attack flows off your, defense like we
Speaker 28: were just run around like headless.
Speaker 5: Trucks The dogs were way more physical than.
Speaker 9: Us in that first.
Speaker 28: Period they were offloading the ball as, well and then
Speaker 28: off the back of, it we're chasing, around just not bearing,
Speaker 28: ourselves sucking a lot of energy out of, ourselves losing
Speaker 28: the possession battle. Early and they were really good and
Speaker 28: we weren't out our best and we're hanging in. There we'll, scrambling,
Speaker 28: trying and then we're trying to throw some shots at
Speaker 28: the end of the. Game but we didn't set the
Speaker 28: game up and they. Did uh did that a really good?
Speaker 2: Time That's Andrew. Webster, Hello, Khalid, hello.
Speaker 16: AND i just cut it.
Speaker 29: Here, HELLO i was, Hello can you hear?
Speaker 3: ME i?
Speaker 2: Can.
Speaker 29: Yeah, WELL i was very unlucky Because i'm first of,
Speaker 29: ALL i want to talk About, warriors follow The, warriors
Speaker 29: and THEN.
Speaker 14: I Love Wris i'm a.
Speaker 29: Referee and then the way they played yesterday THAT i don't.
Speaker 29: Know they come all the way to the try line
Speaker 29: that two, meters then they make big. Errors he didn't
Speaker 29: put it there or do some silly airs for professional
Speaker 29: player like, that it was very. Devastating it was.
Speaker 2: Hard it was hard to understand. You you wanted to
Speaker 2: talk about the football as.
Speaker 29: Well, yeah Because i'm a referee REFE i don't know
Speaker 29: the league and, stuff AND i think the final and
Speaker 29: that referee he didn't do his job after when they,
Speaker 29: started he didn't shout on his starting each. Other he
Speaker 29: could still he could have still give a red Car
Speaker 29: you don't say it because in the law of the,
Speaker 29: game the players will will get disciplinary even after the game,
Speaker 29: finished and the game will until they're going into their.
Speaker 2: Shades but, Yeah carlie TO i do have to move,
Speaker 2: Mate but, YEAH i take your, point AND i you,
Speaker 2: KNOW i know there's been a lot of discussion after
Speaker 2: The World cup final about the refereeing and about the
Speaker 2: antics of The argentinian players following the, game driven mainly
Speaker 2: from frustration, Obviously but thank you for calling and just
Speaker 2: on The. Warriors, YEAH i don't, know got to move
Speaker 2: on and chat To Liam, Skeets BUT i don't. KNOW
Speaker 2: i just feel as Though Luke metcalfe has a part to,

Speaker 2: Season be so interesting to see what that is twenty
Speaker 2: three away from three back in a Second Weekend.
Speaker 30: Sport from brilliant victories to battling, Selections it's all fair
Speaker 30: game On Weekend sport With Jason vine and The Volkswagen
Speaker 30: AMAROK V Sex Uncompromised, Ability Premium, Comfort News TALKS env two.
Speaker 2: Forty great to welcome back into the show one Of
Speaker 2: New Zealand motorsport's brightest young. Prospects you may Remember Liam
Speaker 2: skeets joining us in studio back end of last. Year
Speaker 2: he's had recent success In, asia so we thought it
Speaker 2: was time to get him back into update. This, liam
Speaker 2: welcome back to the. Show we spoke to, you AS i,
Speaker 2: say in Early november and you were heading to THE
Speaker 2: us to compete In indie. Next so tell us what
Speaker 2: the last months have consisted of for.
Speaker 7: You, yeah thank You. Piney the last eight months have been,
Speaker 7: crazy to be.
Speaker 17: Honest, Yeah november last year was THE us was the,
Speaker 17: Focus IndyCar was was the, focus and now it's completely.
Speaker 17: Changed so, yeah started this year that the opportunity came
Speaker 17: up to be racing In Lamborghini, asia so with a
Speaker 17: roof over my head, now so that's been the biggest
Speaker 17: kind of difference this year And i'm absolutely loving it so.
Speaker 2: Far so tell us about the series you're, racing and
Speaker 2: actually take us back to how the conversation started and
Speaker 2: how we ended up.
Speaker 7: Here, yeah SO i mean The IndyCar.
Speaker 17: PASSWAY i would have loved to have continued to go,
Speaker 17: down but just the realities of motorsport means that it's
Speaker 17: it's incredibly expensive to go down that.
Speaker 7: Route so, unfortunately, YEAH i had. TO i had to,
Speaker 7: pivot a bit of a strategic.
Speaker 17: Pivot and AND i was looking all over the globe
Speaker 17: at all the different race series to see what what
Speaker 17: might be best fit for. Me and then one, day,
Speaker 17: yeah just just through reaching out To kiwi's here getting
Speaker 17: getting your advice a key a really successful motor racing
Speaker 17: driver and, Himself chris Vander, drift took to him and
Speaker 17: he presented me this opportunity of Here lamborghini In ASIA
Speaker 17: Gt Cars endurance. Racing so, yeah completely different to The
Speaker 17: indie next, scene and, yeah it. Was it was a great,
Speaker 17: opportunity a lot cheaper than THE, us so that was
Speaker 17: the most attractive. Point but, yeah and then just just
Speaker 17: signed signed a contract only weeks before the first round
Speaker 17: and that was held In april In, malaysia and, yes since,
Speaker 17: Then i've had four. Rounds but, yeah AS i, said
