1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: Bread and Nathan Limb is here for sport. Good afternoon, afternoon, Ryan, 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: Good to have you here. Now, what's going on with 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: our captain. 4 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, well he's out of the Test series, Ryan, that's 5 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 2: what's going on. He's picked up a calf injury fifty. 6 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 2: He went off in the fifty seventh minute of the 7 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: opening win in Dunedin and he will not feature regularly 8 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 2: All Blacks against France. It remains to be seen what 9 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 2: the timeline is on this injury recovery. Obviously, the Rugby 10 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 2: Championship starts next month after the French series, so there's 11 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: a question mark there in terms of how the All 12 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: Blacks handle this. They named three locks in the starting 13 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: lineup for Test one, with tupau Vai at blindside flankers, 14 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 2: so they could shift him into the second row alongside 15 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 2: Fabian Holland and bring some of Penni Feno into the 16 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 2: sixth jumper. Another option as Patrick Twepelotto, who wasn't named 17 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 2: in the Game one. He was sort of under an 18 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 2: injury cloud, was dealing with a couple of issues in 19 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 2: the back end of the Blues Super Rugby season. So 20 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 2: if he has recovered and he is fully fit, he 21 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: could slot straight into the second row for the All 22 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: Blacks and Test two on Saturday in Wellington. There's no 23 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: word from the All Blacks coaches. He yet to decide 24 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: as to whether they bring in a replacement for Scott 25 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: Barrett into the Test squad, so we'll wait and see 26 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: if someone gets the call up. And Arcoy was training 27 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 2: with the side. Ardie Savier was skipper for the remainder 28 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:11,919 Speaker 2: of the series. 29 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: So no panic stations. We've got depth, we've got cover, 30 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: we can get through. It interesting that they saw the 31 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: French aren't going to be staying in Hamilton, so they 32 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: do Wellington obviously, but then they fly to Auckland not 33 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: going to stay in Hamilton ahead of that test. 34 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: Is it a bit of an insult to the people 35 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: of Hamilton? 36 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: Do you think it is? 37 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 2: I think it is as well. 38 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: They said it's all about the facilities and not having 39 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: enough training gear and all that kind of stuff. But anyway, 40 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 1: people of Hamilton can weigh in on that. Now, this 41 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: is an interesting one about netball and head and neck injuries. 42 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, so Silver fence defender Paris Mason suffered a neck 43 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: injury in the Pulse victory over the Stars over the weekend, 44 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: she was down on the court for a while and 45 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: she was wheeled off the court and she was actually 46 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: hospitalized as a precaution. Now apparently scans are promising in 47 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: terms of her recovery, but there was a release yes today, 48 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: it didn't really tell us anything in terms of when 49 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: she will be back, whether she will be okay for finals, 50 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 2: should the Pulse qualify, and there's a Silver Ferns test 51 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: coming up a bit later, so there's a question mark 52 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: over her. But also in terms of how head and 53 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: neck contact is officiated in netball, so will Netball. At 54 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: the start of this year brought in new rules which 55 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: apply to the A and Z and SECN that any 56 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 2: sort of head and neck contact would result in a 57 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: sinbinning where a player is sent off for two minutes. Now, 58 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,839 Speaker 2: we saw her Pulse teammate Whitney Soonest suffer a head 59 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 2: knock when colliding with a Steel player a couple of 60 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: weeks ago and that did result in a sin binning. 61 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: But Soon has definitely hit her head while colliding with 62 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: another player. So the things that come into it is 63 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: whether it's malicious. I don't believe anyone is out there 64 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: on the Network court trying to hurt anyone. But you 65 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: cannot say that netball is a non contact sport. It's 66 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: called a non contact sport, but it's not. There's so 67 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 2: much contact going on, So it's just whether the contact 68 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: around this area is being officiated consistently with these new rules. 69 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: It sounds very hard to police. How do you tell 70 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: of someone if there's a collision that happens, how do 71 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: you tell us someone, Well. 72 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: It's the same thing in rugby, it's the same thing 73 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: in loads of sports. I suppose it's the responsibility of 74 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: the defender to not put the person in possession of 75 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: the ball in a dangerous position. And it is a 76 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: case by case basis where urpives will have to look 77 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: at it. It was just a really unfortunate fall, I 78 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: think in the case of Paris Mason. 79 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: Interesting stuff.
