1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: It's a big welcome back to Paul Allison.

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 2: Morning. Yeah, back on Tira Firm in New Zealand after

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: flying back in from San Diego and Chile yesterday. Morning,

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: back in New Zealand. Time already, and I think I've

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: almost got over the All Blacks getting beaten in Buenos Airis,

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: which is to me a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: absolutely outstanding, hard to beat from a local fan support

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: point of view. On the one thing that I noticed

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: about the two test matches and Argentina and Cordoba and

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: Buenos Airis was the number of kids that were at

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: the games. There will be twenty five to thirty percent

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: of the entire ground filled with kids. You come to

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: New Zealand, you go to South Africa, you go around

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: the world. The Test matches are overpriced, the kids don't go.

15
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: But in Buenos Aires and in Calledoba and Argentina, the

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: kids were an important part of the of the audience

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: and of the crowd and they really just made it.

18
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: That was fantastic.

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: Something that ends it I could look into. Of course, they.

20
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: Need the money. I can't see that happening many times.

21
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: Then a big game tomorrow at Eden Park. Is this

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: the side Paul Ellison to maintain our thirty year fifty

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: test on beaten streak?

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: Who and who knows? Who knows? I mean, if you

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: look back to Argentina, there was four peace for me

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: that Argentina did that the All Blacks didn't do in

27
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: that last Test. They had pace, they had power, they

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: had precision, but they also had passion. And the All

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: Blacks need to find some of that accuracy, which we

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: haven't seen from them so much. So much this year

31
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: Scott Robertson talked about the free, flowing, open running game

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: of rugby, the entertainment value. Well, they've been scratchy at

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: best and had nothing really to show in South America.

34
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: I thought there were some promising signs maybe in those

35
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: early Test matches this year against France Ardie saves one

36
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: hundred might be a factor to motivate the team around them.

37
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: But this South African team, they won the last four

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: in a row. The last three matches, the winning margins

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: have been six points or less and New Zealand has

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: scored one or less tries than three of the last

41
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: four encounters. So it's going to be a tough ask

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: for them. But they could do it, but they need

43
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: to play a lot better than what they have and

44
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: we'll just have to wait and see. I mean, it's

45
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 2: the one Test match that Rassi Arrasthmus the coach has

46
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: targeted this year. That's come from Tony Brown saying this

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 2: is the match that South Africa most want to win

48
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: in twenty five and yeah, you have to say that

49
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: the All Blacks will have to play. Well, we'll wait

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: and see. All eyes on Eden Park seven o five

51
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: tomorrow evening.

52
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: It's the one that we most want to win too.

53
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: To other actions for the weekend, well, it's a big

54
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Saturday because before that we've got Canterbury marching down to

55
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: in Vacago for the Loggerwood Challenge for the Stags. And

56
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: I've been copying a bit of flag on the text machine.

57
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: You spend a bit of time in the South and

58
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: I do love the Southern Stags. I made seventy bucks

59
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: off them putting a slide tenor on last week. I

60
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm brave enough to place that bet

61
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: again this weekend. Paul Allison, Well, you.

62
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: Just don't know who would have picked South on last week?

63
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: Part from you to be fair and so the tav

64
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't actually mind losing seventy dollars because I think they

65
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: probably took a lot more on the White Shadow. That

66
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: was an outstanding effort from the Southern lads. We know

67
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: how good with he is as an inspirational captain and

68
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: he's got a few guys around him. These guys will

69
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: be up for it. I don't think they would have

70
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: got the post Shield Blues where they've gone and slept

71
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: with the shield and had party after party up anymore.

72
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: Well yeah, not after what happened at Hawk's Bay and

73
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: the shield got repaired, but it's still been around rest

74
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: homes and it's done the traps around around in the

75
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: cargol and so seven four or five tomorrow afternoon, I

76
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: wouldn't put the past them. I mean, there's three all

77
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: blacks in that Canterbury squad with in the back line

78
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: McLeod and Enter and George Bell back into the Canterbury

79
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: mix as well, but the Southland side they play with

80
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: a lot of heart, so it certainly would not underestimate

81
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: them at the stage. Canterbury will no doubt a start

82
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: his favorites, but you know it does the Shield meet

83
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: as much to Canterbury as it does the Southland don't know.

84
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: We're waiting se tomorrow afternoon four h five, which is

85
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: a good way to kick off. They build up for

86
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: the All Blacks tonight. If you want to start, it's

87
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: the Warriors against the Sea Eagles eight o'clock tonight from

88
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: Sydney Manly. Sea Eagles in tenth spots so they're really

89
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: out of contention for making that top four. So are

90
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: the Warriors now though they can only really finish fifth

91
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: at best because of what happened last night. But the

92
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: Sharks play the Bulldogs. If the Sharks get beaten by

93
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: the Bulldogs and the Warriors beat the Sea Eagles, which

94
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: is a likely prospect because the Warriors have got a

95
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: pretty good back line with the key players back or

96
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: most of them or some of them, Anya, I think

97
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: they'll end up in fifth spot. So that's my pick.

98
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: More rugby action Monday morning, one forty five Black Fern's

99
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: final pool game and Paul c of the Women's World Cup.

100
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: They're up against Ireland. The winner will claim top spot

101
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: and that is also Fara partmer Cup action over the

102
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: weekend what Formula one in Italy. Liam Lawson will be

103
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: trying to come back from his Rich had run once more.

104
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: This is around sixteen to twenty four from Monza in

105
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 2: Italy and were also that's got Oscar Powstree leading from

106
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: Lando Norris to McLaren Drivers top of the standings. Lawson

107
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: down in fifteenth place at the moment with twenty points.

108
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: You'll want to improve on that, and he may well

109
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: be able to do that if he gets a bit

110
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 2: of luck going his way. And the Tennis Open US

111

00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: the US men's section as well, so plenty a sporting action.

Speaker 2: But allwise, Eden Park seven five tomorrow. Here I go.

119
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: You've asked me what I'm thinking. I'm going to pick

120
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: an all Black win by three
