1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: You Zealand Rugby have solved their anios problem, or at

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: least part of it. Toyota, we hear this morning are

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: taking the naming rights to the training kit. The former

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Rugby CEO David Moffett iss back, Well, it's David, morning to.

5
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 2: You, Good morning, Ran. How are you very well?

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: What does that actually mean? The training kit? Is that

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: the regular kit, all the kits, some of the kit

8
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: or just the training kit.

9
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: Well, by the sound of it, it's it's the training kit.

10
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: So that's you know, when your blacks are in camp,

11
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: they spend a lot of time training obviously, and that's

12
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: where they'll get their their exposure. Yeah. No, I think

13
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: it's I think it's good news. I mean, I'm I'm

14
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: really positive about it. I'd like to know what percentage

15
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: is cash and what percentage is in kind because obviously

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: New Zealand Rugby needs as much cash as they can get.

17
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, very similar to the Ford deal that we

18
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 2: did back in nineteen ninety five. Really indeed.

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, well that's interesting because this is supposed to

20
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: the Toyota is supposed to place Ford and anios. I

21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: can't see it comes even close. Have they still got

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: some money worries.

23
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: Well, I think they've always got money worries at the moment,

24
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: like every other rugby union in the world. You know,

25
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: cash is king and it's never been more important than

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: it is now in the game right around the world.

27
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: To be perfectly honest with you, but yeah, I mean, look,

28
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: small steps and steps in the right direction. But Mike,

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: I don't think that's the best news that they've had recently.

30
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: The best news is the announcement by the NRL that

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: they're not going to even think about another the twentieth

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: team until twenty thirty two, and a lot of what's

33
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: been said seems to me that they're going to be

34
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: actually putting something in the western corridor of Brisbane. Yes,

35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: so no team here for the South Island and no

36
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: additional team for New Zealand.

37
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: So I think it doesn't drain the competition. The Innos

38
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: thing was interesting to me because Inios is not a

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: name that I mean Toyota, although they're Japanese. Are you

40
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: quite long with being a local company? I mean a

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: lot of people drive Toyota, so I get that, but

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: is that a better deal then someone? You go, well,

43
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: who the hell is in Theos? And they bug it

44
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: off anyway.

45
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is absolutely. Toyota is a well brand, very

46
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: well known, loved here in New Zealand. Many people drive toyotas.

47
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: We've got one, and yeah, I look, I think it's

48
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: very positive. Not quite sure about what mix, you know,

49
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: what they've actually got the rights to and then what

50
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: other rights that anyos had that they might be able

51
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: to sell as well. Yeah, but I just think it's

52
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: a bit of good news and good honor.

53
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: Good stuff. David, nice to talk to you appreciate it

54
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: very much. David Maffett foreman using in Rugby ceo bo

55
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: do you'll be driving a land Cruiser? Can I just

56
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: say it's just a personal opinion. They butchered that design wise,

57
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: the new land Cruiser absolutely butchered. I don't know who's

58
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: responsible for it. I don't know what they thought they

59
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: were doing at the time, but what they produced is visually,

60
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: to my eye unacceptable. For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast,
