1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: Morning. This folk Black Ferns into the World Cup SEMIV 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: Canada tomorrow. It's said to be a doozy. 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is absolutely just a shame. Georgia Miller's not there. 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 2: I'm really surprised they're not telling us what's wrong. 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: Apparently there's a post that went up overnight that suggested 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: a hemmy, but that's since been taken down. 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 2: Okay, right, eh, I mean it's it's hardly a state secret. 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: Either you can play or you can't plan, and there's 9 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: got to be a reason. But then let's get on 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 2: with it. It's gonna be a it's going to be 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: a tough game. Canada are not bad. They're not bad 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: at all. In fact, I think last time we played 13 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 2: them was a draw. But I think we're playing well 14 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 2: enough to get through. It's kind of inevitable really that 15 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 2: we make the final and we play England. I think 16 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: everybody sort of predicted that right from the start of 17 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: the tournament. But let's not get too far ahead of 18 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: ourselves and and you know, kick the fingers crossed and 19 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: hope they play well against the Canadians. 20 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: Like everybody, I appreciate the more user friendly viewing time 21 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: of six am much nicer than the one am that 22 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: we've head from some of the Paul games. How come 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: this thing so drawn out, Innisbo? How come there are 24 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: any playing on the weekends? 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: Oh well, rugby's a game where you can't play three 26 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: or four times a week. It's a wee bit different 27 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: to other sports. It's a massive contact sport, as we know. 28 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: If it was football, for instance, you could probably play 29 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: every third or fourth day, and with rugby it takes 30 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 2: a lot of recovering and that's why the World Caps 31 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: in both men's and women's are stretched out. But like 32 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: rugby league, same sort of argument really. 33 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: Makes too much sense into well. Keeping with rugby into 34 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: round eight of the MPC are unbeaten Canterbury once again 35 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: defending that ren Filly Shield tomorrow afternoon. V otago this 36 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: after the thrilling showdown v Tasmen last weekends. We held 37 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: on to the thing by scoring at the death. I 38 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: think it was twenty five phases or something like that. 39 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: I put it to you, Nisbo, is this not one 40 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: of the greatest seasons of provincial rugby we've ever seen? 41 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: It's been one of the very best year. I like 42 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: it because you don't really know who's going to win. 43 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: When you pitch up to a game, you're not really 44 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: sure which team's going to win. And even the teams 45 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: sitting down the bottom, and I think we've seen Auckland 46 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: pick up the ball of it in the last couple 47 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: of weeks. They didn't never win for a few weeks 48 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: and then they caused the massive upset. I think they 49 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: beat Tasman and then they beat what manu or two 50 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: last week. I think, so even teams down the bottom 51 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: are capable of beating teams at the top. So you know, 52 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: Otago having a good season, they are a chance against Canterbury, 53 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: who showed some vulnerabilities last week. They were going enough 54 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: to hang in there, but they are a team that 55 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: are beatable. Put it that way, so you know it'll 56 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: be a great challenge. 57 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: And super quick knitball. The Silver Fern's face Off the 58 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: South Africa, the first of the Tiny Jamison series on 59 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: Sunday night. I guess we're all hoping that the off 60 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: court drama doesn't prove too much of a distraction. 61 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it has up till now, hasn't it really. 62 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: I mean there's been no real talk about who might 63 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: win the game, but because discussing what happened to the 64 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: coach and the reasons for it and all the rest 65 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: of it. So with all that sort of behind us, 66 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: just let's get on with it and win the series.
