1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: News talks here'b seventeen after four. Great to have your company.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Lots of your texts will get to those shortly. Also,

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Keir Starmer's come out after that meeting in Paris and

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: said a few things. I'll get you, got some audio

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: to play for you shortly. Right now they were going

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: to Darcy Watergrave, sports talk host. Hey Darcy, Hello, we've

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: got some late breaking news. Leo McDonald has a new job.

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, his first coaching position since he departed the All Blacks.

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: Remember the last August he was supposed to be doing

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: a whole big team thing with Raisor Robinson. It's going

11
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: to be lovely and then sudden he's gone out the door.

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: And we still really don't know what happened then, but

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: that's the way it rolls. But this has been reported

14
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: by Liam Napier, rugby writer in the New Zealand Herald.

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: This it was like five tests in that he disappeared

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: working with Razor. But now it is looking like he

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: is off to join the Western Force Director of rugby role.

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: He's gonna work with Simon Kron as head coach another KIWI.

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: So he's climbed on that. What that means later on

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: and the piece. Maybe that just helps him move on

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: into a prime position to take over Joe Schmidt's role

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: as the head coach of the Wallabies when he retires

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: from that, because he said he's upping sticks at the

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: end of the Rugby Championship. So maybe, just maybe.

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: Because it's not exactly it's not the shining life of jobs.

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: No it's not. And you can get a look and

27
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: an idea about how Australian rugby works and what the

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: mechanics are behind or was he rugby and just start

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: moving in Whether that is the case or not. I

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: don't know. It's all about conjecture, isn't it. This is

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: the business going well maybe maybe maybe I wonder.

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: Do you think you've got a pay out when he left?

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: Yes? Six figures apparently, Well that's what it's time. I

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: don't know if there was an Australian appetite though for

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: another New Zealand coach. Really don't think I made not

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: one of those shaggy Islanders.

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: That Halberg's tonight Ludia Cogan to win well, I mean,

38
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: are you who do you have a pick?

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: No, it'll be someone who's won an Olympic medal, because

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: that's normally the way this role is. And it's an

41
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Olympic year. Someone who wins an Olympic gold wins the Hellbergs.

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: It's almost like written in stone.

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: I was listening to you earlier talk about how hard

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: it is to judge between the different sports. I mean,

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: how do you compare them?

46
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: You can't. It's impossible. If someone can give me a

47
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: decent argument. Oh listen, I'm all ears. But after I

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: want to say it, nearly a quarter of a century

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: doing this, I still haven't had anyone give me a

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: convincing argument as to why the Hellberg's works.

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Have you pass? Have you inen those twenty five years

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: picked the right horse?

53
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: No, I've never indulged in it. I don't see the point.

54
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: It's not a competition.

55
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: It's just not.

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: There's no form going into it. Rather reason to dress

57
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: up in suits because we've not advanced, which I find

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: fascinating that women get to with these amazing clothes and

59
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: the blokes just turn up.

60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: Well, hang on, no, it's twenty twenty five. You can

61
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: wear whatever you want if you want to go there

62
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: and we're addressed. You can do it.

63
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: If they were going to invite me next year, and

64
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to go along. I'm gonna wear what Kanye

65
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 2: West's wife war to the Grammys.

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: Good cough exactly. I don't think you'd make it look

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: as good, Darcy somehow, thank you for that.

68
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: We will thank you. And Michael Burges just joins us

69
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 2: tonight on the show to look at the possible tweaking

70
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: of our set. Awards are just to see you can

71
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: lift it and push it forward.

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: Into the twenty and we'll look forward to listening but
