1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Hey, Jason pine host of Weekends Sports with Me right now, Piney, Hello, Hello, Heather,

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Tim Salviy Do you see this coming?

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 2: Ye? Well, it wasn't a huge shock.

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 3: I think at some point we knew that he was

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 3: gonna call it quits. Once he wasn't captain anymore. It

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 3: kind of felt like it was coming towards the end.

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 3: I don't mind it, actually, I think it's a nice

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 3: way for him to finish against the team he started

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 3: his career against on home soil, three grounds he likes

10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 3: a lot. He'll finish in Hamilton kind of you know,

11
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 3: home soil. Yeah, I didn't.

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: I didn't absolutely know what was coming.

13
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: But it's no great surprise that he's decided to call

14
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: it quits in his Red Bull career.

15
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: And then what does he do. I mean, is he

16
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: going on to any kind of other things, like I

17
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: don't know some of those T twenty matches.

18
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 3: What he said is he's open to playing domestically, so

19
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: that'll be for northern districts and also franchise cricket. But

20
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 3: the reality is that you know, he's not going to

21
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 3: play ipl for example, or the really big T twenty leagues.

22
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: But there are so many of them now here that

23
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 3: you know, he might end up playing in one of

24
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: the other startup franchise leagues.

25
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: You know, he keeps himself impeckedly fit, tim South.

26
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: He might have another couple of years of sort of

27
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: you know, playing around the world and a bit of

28
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: extra corn before he decides what he does with the rest.

29
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: Of his life.

30
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: Poney, what do you make of the changes in the

31
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: All Blacks? I mean it, I think people will be

32
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: reasonably split on the body versus d Mac thing because

33
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: d Mac played so well last week.

34
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and same with the Soapoma and Cody Taylor.

35
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: You know, am and McKenzie were probably our two Bess players,

36
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: but Barton and Barret and Taylor were out can cast.

37
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: It wasn't like that being dropped on form.

38
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 3: So I don't mind them coming back in because I

39
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: like Almoor and McKenzie and the role they play off

40
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: the bench. I thought they might go Peter Larkeye at

41
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: number seven. I thought they might leave Artie at eight,

42
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: so Titi at six and just make the one change

43
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: in the loose trio. It seems like they've kind of

44
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: shuffled three chairs there rather than just the one. But

45
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: you know, I don't mind, don't mind the loose forward trio.

46
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: In fact, I don't mind the team at all. If

47
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: I'm honest either, I think it's a good team. I

48
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: think we'll probably win.

49
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: Oh and you got it right last week, Poney against

50
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: the odds, So I.

51
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: Know I'm on a roll. On an absolute role, I'd.

52
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: Be betting on what you say? What's that now? Why

53
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: is Ethan Dagruze out for the third week? What's the

54
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,279
Speaker 1: excuse this time?

55
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: Well, this is this is just really really hard to explain.

56
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: He so, this is the fourth tester of five on

57
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: this Northern tour. He hasn't set foot on the pitch yet.

58
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: He didn't play against Japan or England or ether than

59
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: now France. He might get a game against Italy next week.

60
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: No one seems to know what it was that got

61
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: him dropped in the first place. I get the feeling

62
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 3: that he's been dropped and that just basically saying well

63
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: to mighty Williams has to play his way out of

64
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: the team now and he hasn't been reasonably.

65
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: It's he wasn't dropped for form. He was dropped for

66
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: conduct at the start, right, So is this an ongoing

67
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: punishment for conduct or is this now a form thing?

68
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: He hasn't got any form, that's the thing. He hasn't played.

69
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: So it's so I think what you're saying is to

70
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: mighty Williams hasn't played badly enough to be dropped. Therefore

71
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: Ethan de Greek just has to wait. He has to wait,

72
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: wait and bide his time. You're right, the first one

73
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 3: was in discretion. Beyond that, he just hasn't found a

74
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: way back into the team because he hasn't.

75
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, look, I don't know. Maybe Ethan

76
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: has the same thing as me when I'm sad, I

77
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: just need carbs and he's just gone and become a

78
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: fatty in the last three weeks.

79
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: I don't look much as I like the like the concept,

80
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that.

81
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: It's probably unlikely Pioney to be fair. Thank god, we've

82
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: got you as a voice of reasons. Okay, Jason, listen,
