00:04:35,907 --> 00:04:39,267
Speaker 3: because you know, all the Danny sailors on the team

84
00:04:39,667 --> 00:04:43,027
Speaker 3: has been so helpful of getting me back and it's

85
00:04:43,067 --> 00:04:45,627
Speaker 3: only just three months ago since I gave birth, so

86
00:04:46,027 --> 00:04:48,787
Speaker 3: of course the training and everything and the timing I'm

87
00:04:48,827 --> 00:04:55,107
Speaker 3: still breastfeeding and juggling around with all that timing has

88
00:04:55,147 --> 00:04:59,187
Speaker 3: been difficult, but everyone is so helpful. So it's pretty

89
00:04:59,187 --> 00:05:03,307
Speaker 3: cool to show that female sailors can still have a family,

90
00:05:03,987 --> 00:05:07,347
Speaker 3: create a family and then do top sports. You know,

91
00:05:07,467 --> 00:05:09,987
Speaker 3: all the guys on the team they have children, so

92
00:05:10,067 --> 00:05:11,787
Speaker 3: why shouldn't the girls also have it?

93
00:05:11,907 --> 00:05:15,347
Speaker 4: So I feel very lucky to be this.

94
00:05:15,347 --> 00:05:19,227
Speaker 3: And Nelson showing the next generation that you don't have

95
00:05:19,307 --> 00:05:22,307
Speaker 3: to wait until you are late thirties to have a child.

96
00:05:22,947 --> 00:05:25,947
Speaker 2: Wonderful, wonderful stuff. How long did it take before you

97
00:05:26,067 --> 00:05:28,587
Speaker 2: felt race ready again?

98
00:05:29,987 --> 00:05:30,187
Speaker 4: Oh?

99
00:05:30,227 --> 00:05:32,667
Speaker 3: That's actually a good question, because I think I was

100
00:05:32,787 --> 00:05:35,747
Speaker 3: very lucky and everyone is very different on which birth

101
00:05:35,827 --> 00:05:36,107
Speaker 3: they have.

102
00:05:36,787 --> 00:05:38,947
Speaker 4: But already, after maybe.

103
00:05:38,707 --> 00:05:42,507
Speaker 3: Three to three weeks one month, I started training again

104
00:05:42,587 --> 00:05:46,187
Speaker 3: and then I've been training two months, just full on

105
00:05:46,627 --> 00:05:49,987
Speaker 3: of course, getting back the body back. I don't feel

106
00:05:50,027 --> 00:05:54,107
Speaker 3: like I'm fully back yet, but I'm back enough to be.

107
00:05:54,107 --> 00:05:54,627
Speaker 4: On the boat.

108
00:05:54,627 --> 00:05:56,907

109
00:05:57,187 --> 00:05:58,667
Speaker 3: because we can all help each other.

110
00:05:59,507 --> 00:06:00,787
Speaker 4: You know, there's five other.

111
00:06:00,587 --> 00:06:04,307
Speaker 3: People on the boat and they take the load of me,

112
00:06:04,507 --> 00:06:07,867
Speaker 3: so that I'm easing back in too into sailing, and

113
00:06:08,267 --> 00:06:09,867
Speaker 3: that's that's pretty cool.

114
00:06:10,587 --> 00:06:12,947
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the twenty twenty six season, then, what

115
00:06:12,987 --> 00:06:17,387

118
00:06:23,227 --> 00:06:25,667

120
00:06:27,907 --> 00:06:30,707

123
00:06:38,667 --> 00:06:42,267
Speaker 3: and we just wanted to do our best. We have

124
00:06:42,987 --> 00:06:47,587
Speaker 3: now a new ownership from American Magic, where got a

125
00:06:47,627 --> 00:06:51,147
Speaker 3: lot of expertise, a lot of knowledge from very good

126
00:06:51,187 --> 00:06:54,747
Speaker 3: coaches and a very good structure now on the team,

127
00:06:54,987 --> 00:06:58,507
Speaker 3: something that we definitely look forward to work with them

128
00:06:58,907 --> 00:07:02,027
Speaker 3: and to make it a good atmosphere on the team

129
00:07:02,107 --> 00:07:04,747
Speaker 3: so that we can perform and eventually win.

130
00:07:04,827 --> 00:07:05,267
Speaker 4: Sale DP.

131
00:07:05,747 --> 00:07:08,707
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was one for news with your team acquired

132
00:07:08,707 --> 00:07:12,067
Speaker 2: by leading sports investor American Magic co founder Doug de Vos,

133
00:07:12,747 --> 00:07:17,347
Speaker 2: turns Rockwall into one of Denmark's most valuable sporting properties.

134
00:07:17,507 --> 00:07:19,467
Speaker 2: Can you tell us a bit more about the impact

135
00:07:19,467 --> 00:07:22,267
Speaker 2: that you hope this new ownership will have on the team.

136
00:07:23,707 --> 00:07:27,067
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely, you know, it's definitely something new for us,

137
00:07:27,107 --> 00:07:30,627
Speaker 3: but we're keeping all the same sailors. The staff and

138
00:07:30,667 --> 00:07:34,387
Speaker 3: the coaches has changed and that's a new way of

139
00:07:34,947 --> 00:07:38,827
Speaker 3: working together. But already now we're working you know, only

140
00:07:38,867 --> 00:07:41,707
Speaker 3: one month, one and a half months, it's been it's

141
00:07:41,747 --> 00:07:45,027
Speaker 3: been really really good with especially the structure and the

142
00:07:45,067 --> 00:07:47,947
Speaker 3: knowledge that they're coming. They have a great facility in

143
00:07:48,227 --> 00:07:51,507
Speaker 3: America that we can come and use their training base,

144
00:07:51,627 --> 00:07:55,547
Speaker 3: so everything behind it, everything that happens in the background

145
00:07:56,147 --> 00:07:59,747
Speaker 3: is now more professional. And you know, sales Up is

146
00:07:59,747 --> 00:08:02,467
Speaker 3: the league, it's one of the it is the biggest

147
00:08:02,547 --> 00:08:05,187
Speaker 3: League in sailing and everything is changing all the time.

148
00:08:05,267 --> 00:08:07,827
Speaker 3: You really have to be on the front foot for

149
00:08:07,867 --> 00:08:10,787
Speaker 3: the changes, otherwise you will never have a chance to win.

150
00:08:10,987 --> 00:08:13,507
Speaker 3: So that's what we're aiming to be that we are

151
00:08:13,627 --> 00:08:17,027
Speaker 3: the first movers and training as much as possible between

152
00:08:17,067 --> 00:08:20,427
Speaker 3: events because we have fourteen events, but we actually don't

153
00:08:20,467 --> 00:08:23,627
Speaker 3: have access to the boat between the events. So to

154
00:08:23,707 --> 00:08:26,787
Speaker 3: come up with ways how we can improve is so important.

155
00:08:27,347 --> 00:08:30,067
Speaker 2: Where do you look for those improvements when you are

156
00:08:30,107 --> 00:08:32,867
Speaker 2: looking for them and there are I'm sure one hundred

157
00:08:32,867 --> 00:08:36,107
Speaker 2: different places, you know, thousands of lines of data you

158
00:08:36,107 --> 00:08:38,587
Speaker 2: could analyze. Where do you think you get the best

159
00:08:38,667 --> 00:08:41,667
Speaker 2: impact when you are looking for those improvements when you're

160
00:08:41,707 --> 00:08:42,907
Speaker 2: not in the boat itself.

161
00:08:44,027 --> 00:08:45,547
Speaker 4: Oh, it's actually different areas.

162
00:08:45,627 --> 00:08:47,707
Speaker 3: I mean, we have a lot of different data points

163
00:08:47,747 --> 00:08:50,667
Speaker 3: that we look at and the thing is with sales,

164
00:08:50,707 --> 00:08:53,467
Speaker 3: GPS that we share all those things. So I can

165
00:08:53,507 --> 00:08:55,827
Speaker 3: look at the British boat and thinking, Okay, they came

166
00:08:55,827 --> 00:08:59,627
Speaker 3: out of the Perth events, the first season event with

167
00:08:59,707 --> 00:09:01,987
Speaker 3: a win, and of course they are right now the

168
00:09:02,027 --> 00:09:05,587
Speaker 3: benchmark to look after. Okay, how are they doing the

169
00:09:05,667 --> 00:09:07,747
Speaker 3: sailing on the wall. So I look through the videos,

170
00:09:07,867 --> 00:09:10,507
Speaker 3: especially to see what is the comms on their boat?

171
00:09:10,827 --> 00:09:13,107
Speaker 3: What is the data? How do they set up the wing?

172
00:09:13,227 --> 00:09:15,067
Speaker 3: How do they set up the rothers, how do they

173
00:09:15,107 --> 00:09:17,467
Speaker 3: set up the foils? So there is a lot of

174
00:09:17,507 --> 00:09:20,947
Speaker 3: different points, and like you say, how do you choose

175
00:09:21,267 --> 00:09:23,707
Speaker 3: one thing to work in? And that's where we have,

176
00:09:23,907 --> 00:09:26,227
Speaker 3: you know, such a great team of coaches behind us.

177
00:09:26,267 --> 00:09:29,067
Speaker 3: We not only have one coach, we actually have a

178
00:09:28,747 --> 00:09:31,867
Speaker 3: few coaches that is helping with their different areas to

179
00:09:31,987 --> 00:09:34,787
Speaker 3: narrow it down to each sailor and what we can

180
00:09:34,827 --> 00:09:38,787
Speaker 3: do do better, both individual but also as a as

181
00:09:38,787 --> 00:09:41,067
Speaker 3: a team. So yeah, there's a lot of things to

182
00:09:41,107 --> 00:09:44,507
Speaker 3: work on. So it's very it's very easy to work

183
00:09:44,867 --> 00:09:47,627
Speaker 3: all the time every day, but you definitely also have

184
00:09:47,707 --> 00:09:49,067
Speaker 3: to recover as an athlete.

185
00:09:49,387 --> 00:09:52,027
Speaker 2: I bet, I bet the Danish boat had one hundred

186
00:09:52,067 --> 00:09:55,107
Speaker 2: and three point eighty five kilometers per hour in August

187
00:09:55,107 --> 00:09:56,427
Speaker 2: of last year. And now I know you weren't a

188
00:09:56,427 --> 00:09:59,347
Speaker 2: board at the time, but what does that say about

189
00:09:59,387 --> 00:10:03,027
Speaker 2: the capability of these air fifties and how much faster

190
00:10:03,787 --> 00:10:04,467
Speaker 2: might they go?

191
00:10:06,827 --> 00:10:09,107
Speaker 4: I think that's a it's an open question. It's very

192
00:10:09,147 --> 00:10:10,067
Speaker 4: hard for me to answer.

193
00:10:10,107 --> 00:10:12,187
Speaker 3: I mean, we're all the time pushing the limits and

194
00:10:12,587 --> 00:10:16,067
Speaker 3: going over one hundred kilometer now it's pretty cool, like

195
00:10:16,147 --> 00:10:18,947
Speaker 3: coming in with the new tfoils that we had the

196
00:10:18,987 --> 00:10:21,867
Speaker 3: first event last year here in Auckland was the first

197
00:10:21,867 --> 00:10:25,227
Speaker 3: event with the tfoils and obviously a lot of things

198
00:10:25,227 --> 00:10:28,827
Speaker 3: that's happened since then because we have some new features

199
00:10:28,827 --> 00:10:31,307
Speaker 3: on board that can all the time push the limits

200
00:10:31,347 --> 00:10:33,187
Speaker 3: and that's what we all want to do, you know,

201
00:10:33,307 --> 00:10:36,827
Speaker 3: especially for the spectators as well, to make it more thrilling.

202
00:10:36,947 --> 00:10:41,307
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's just it's I don't think there is

203
00:10:41,347 --> 00:10:41,947
Speaker 3: any limits.

204
00:10:42,027 --> 00:10:44,987
Speaker 4: We're just gonna keep pushing to go faster.

205
00:10:45,747 --> 00:10:50,267
Speaker 2: Communication is obviously key in the sport on board. What

206
00:10:50,267 --> 00:10:53,627
Speaker 2: what does a perfect race sound like in terms of

207
00:10:53,667 --> 00:10:57,147
Speaker 2: the communication as it Actually you're saying less because everything's

208
00:10:57,187 --> 00:11:00,507
Speaker 2: going so well, or is the communication is still fairly constant?

209
00:11:01,107 --> 00:11:03,947
Speaker 4: Yeah, again, the excellent question.

210
00:11:04,067 --> 00:11:07,267
Speaker 3: If you are in front, there's normally not that must traffic,

211
00:11:07,707 --> 00:11:09,267
Speaker 3: so then there comes.

212
00:11:08,907 --> 00:11:11,947
Speaker 4: Are less Yeah, exactly.

213
00:11:12,027 --> 00:11:14,467
Speaker 3: So you want to be in front because then it's

214
00:11:14,547 --> 00:11:16,867
Speaker 3: often a more quiet boat. If you're in the back,

215
00:11:16,987 --> 00:11:20,347
Speaker 3: it's also a quiet boat because you're just in the

216
00:11:20,387 --> 00:11:21,867
Speaker 3: back and that nothing is happening.

217
00:11:22,467 --> 00:11:24,787
Speaker 4: If you're in the middle of the chaos. It's often

218
00:11:24,827 --> 00:11:28,947
Speaker 4: a very not stressful boat, but there is a lot.

219
00:11:28,787 --> 00:11:31,507
Speaker 3: Of things being said because obviously now there's thirteen boats

220
00:11:31,507 --> 00:11:34,827
Speaker 3: on the starting line and there's a lot going on

221
00:11:34,907 --> 00:11:37,667
Speaker 3: when there's thirteen boats sailing one hundred kilometers an hour,

222
00:11:37,827 --> 00:11:38,907
Speaker 3: and you don't.

223
00:11:38,747 --> 00:11:39,867
Speaker 4: Want to sail into someone.

224
00:11:40,027 --> 00:11:42,427
Speaker 3: So that's also a part of my job as a

225
00:11:42,467 --> 00:11:46,307
Speaker 3: strategist to a logo after traffic and kind of tack

226
00:11:46,347 --> 00:11:48,987
Speaker 3: and jive, do all the manures in the right spot

227
00:11:49,107 --> 00:11:51,067
Speaker 3: so we don't hit anyone, but also so we get

228
00:11:51,067 --> 00:11:52,667
Speaker 3: it really fast around the racecourse.

229
00:11:53,507 --> 00:11:57,947
Speaker 2: You're making decisions though an incredible speed, split second decisions.

230
00:11:58,827 --> 00:12:01,387
Speaker 2: Is that something that develops over time that you become

231
00:12:01,467 --> 00:12:05,987
Speaker 2: better in those very very small moments at decision making?

232
00:12:06,067 --> 00:12:08,507
Speaker 2: Is that something that improves over time.

233
00:12:09,347 --> 00:12:11,707
Speaker 3: Yes, of course, like just getting used to the speed

234
00:12:11,747 --> 00:12:14,067
Speaker 3: for all of us now sailing at one hundred kilometer

235
00:12:14,107 --> 00:12:17,827
Speaker 3: an hour. Yeah, I wouldn't say it feels normal, but

236
00:12:17,947 --> 00:12:20,467
Speaker 3: it's very close to feeling normal. So you get really

237
00:12:20,547 --> 00:12:23,707
Speaker 3: used to having your mindset around. You don't have a

238
00:12:23,707 --> 00:12:27,387
Speaker 3: lot of time to, for example, do a com you know,

239
00:12:27,507 --> 00:12:30,267
Speaker 3: so you don't take up the line. Only one person

240
00:12:30,307 --> 00:12:32,587
Speaker 3: can speak at a time, so it's really important that

241
00:12:32,627 --> 00:12:35,427
Speaker 3: you're very accurate, and you also say the right thing

242
00:12:35,667 --> 00:12:39,747
Speaker 3: at the right time, so so you know, you don't

243
00:12:39,747 --> 00:12:41,867
Speaker 3: take up the line so someone else can say something.

244
00:12:41,987 --> 00:12:45,187
Speaker 3: So we have developed that the last five years now

245
00:12:45,187 --> 00:12:49,467
Speaker 3: with rock All to really just narrow down what's the

246
00:12:49,507 --> 00:12:52,387
Speaker 3: important thing to say at the right time. And obviously

247
00:12:52,387 --> 00:12:54,867
Speaker 3: everyone is getting getting better and better and better, and

248
00:12:54,907 --> 00:12:56,827
Speaker 3: then the fact that we can learn from other teams

249
00:12:56,947 --> 00:12:57,907
Speaker 3: is pretty cool.

250
00:12:59,627 --> 00:13:02,587
Speaker 2: Yeah, just before I let you go, Emory, what are

251
00:13:02,627 --> 00:13:06,707
Speaker 2: your fondest Olympic memories? You know for Olympic Games, a

252
00:13:06,827 --> 00:13:10,107
Speaker 2: medal of every color, you carried the flag and Paris

253
00:13:10,347 --> 00:13:14,387
Speaker 2: for the Danish team. What are your fondest Olympic memories?

254
00:13:15,947 --> 00:13:17,267
Speaker 4: Oh, fondest.

255
00:13:18,627 --> 00:13:22,147
Speaker 3: I feel like every Olympic has been so special in

256
00:13:22,307 --> 00:13:26,867
Speaker 3: all the spots, and probably my biggest moment was when

257
00:13:26,947 --> 00:13:30,027
Speaker 3: I won gold and coming back from a very big

258
00:13:30,067 --> 00:13:32,427
Speaker 3: mistake on the second last day of Tokyo Is.

259
00:13:32,507 --> 00:13:34,627
Speaker 4: It's definitely something that I remember forever.

260
00:13:35,347 --> 00:13:39,027
Speaker 3: I did a huge mistake, having yellow flags where you

261
00:13:39,107 --> 00:13:42,387
Speaker 3: have a punishment from the jury, and then still coming

262
00:13:42,427 --> 00:13:45,547
Speaker 3: back and winning gold was very very special in a

263
00:13:45,627 --> 00:13:48,427
Speaker 3: time where it was COVID around. There was not many

264
00:13:48,507 --> 00:13:51,787
Speaker 3: fans and didn't have my family there, so that was

265
00:13:51,907 --> 00:13:55,387
Speaker 3: definitely a life changing moment at that time.

266
00:13:56,307 --> 00:13:58,827
Speaker 2: I bet and and many more to come, both on

267
00:13:58,907 --> 00:14:01,427
Speaker 2: and off the water. Emory, congratulations on coming back and

268
00:14:01,787 --> 00:14:05,187
Speaker 2: being a trailblazer for elite female athletes in particular and

269
00:14:05,307 --> 00:14:07,267
Speaker 2: showing that yes it does matter, you can have a

270
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:10,347
Speaker 2: family and you can still compete at the very highest level.

271
00:14:10,587 --> 00:14:13,067
Speaker 2: All the best across the weekend in Auckland, and thank

272

Speaker 2: this afternoon, and well we hope across the entire weekends

278
00:14:31,187 --> 00:14:34,427
Speaker 2: with that's an increased size and fleet. It will be

279
00:14:34,467 --> 00:14:37,947
Speaker 2: the first time thirteen boats have hit the water at

280
00:14:37,987 --> 00:14:41,707

284
00:14:52,547 --> 00:14:55,947
Speaker 2: for day two tomorrow due to the threat of high

285
00:14:55,947 --> 00:14:59,067
Speaker 2: winds in the afternoon. The decision made by organizers following

286
00:14:59,067 --> 00:15:03,387
Speaker 2: consultation with local authorities and events stakeholders, athletes, safety and

287
00:15:03,507 --> 00:15:08,187
Speaker 2: competitive integrity with the priorities is absolutely fair enough. So

Speaker 2: tomorrow racing will begin at eleven thirty am, brought forward

289
00:15:13,787 --> 00:15:16,747

328
00:17:21,507 --> 00:17:23,027
Speaker 2: check to start with for us?

329
00:17:23,627 --> 00:17:27,347
Speaker 5: Yeah, good morning, good afternoon, Jason ed. The wines turned

330
00:17:27,347 --> 00:17:31,667
Speaker 5: around today, so little southerly, mildish but challenging, probably playing

331
00:17:31,707 --> 00:17:35,147
Speaker 5: tougher than it was the previous two days, and certainly

332
00:17:35,187 --> 00:17:37,147
Speaker 5: the pins seid as much tough as you'd expect in

333
00:17:37,187 --> 00:17:39,867
Speaker 5: the weekend when the field's haved and we're really getting

334
00:17:39,907 --> 00:17:42,427
Speaker 5: to the serious end of things. So pretty tough out

335
00:17:42,467 --> 00:17:43,347
Speaker 5: here today, yep.

336
00:17:43,267 --> 00:17:45,227
Speaker 2: Okay, So tell us about the key we say, actually,

337
00:17:45,227 --> 00:17:46,667
Speaker 2: can we start with the Lise Barbara. I know she's

338
00:17:46,667 --> 00:17:49,667
Speaker 2: got a few headlines because of just how young she is.

339
00:17:50,027 --> 00:17:52,387
Speaker 2: Had her coach on Deen Kingsbar on the show last

340
00:17:52,387 --> 00:17:55,467
Speaker 2: weekend and he talked about how at her age she

341
00:17:55,707 --> 00:17:58,427
Speaker 2: was doing things he hadn't seen from a thirteen year

342
00:17:58,467 --> 00:18:00,227
Speaker 2: old before. What have you observed from her in the

343
00:18:00,227 --> 00:18:01,227
Speaker 2: first two rounds a year.

344
00:18:02,067 --> 00:18:04,787
Speaker 5: Correct, Well, she's actually club made of mine at Shannon

345
00:18:04,827 --> 00:18:07,827
Speaker 5: Golf Club. And for thirteen year old girl who's just

346
00:18:07,867 --> 00:18:12,987
Speaker 5: a child, outstanding like a real athlete. She's just done

347
00:18:13,067 --> 00:18:15,507
Speaker 5: wonderful on the back nine both rounds when she's been

348
00:18:15,547 --> 00:18:19,227
Speaker 5: in some sort of trouble, played both back nines clean underpar,

349
00:18:19,667 --> 00:18:22,627
Speaker 5: post could score then obviously to make the cut. So

350
00:18:23,027 --> 00:18:26,267
Speaker 5: she has a real temerity for the game, a real aptitude,

351
00:18:26,307 --> 00:18:27,627
Speaker 5: and she has no experience to.

352
00:18:27,587 --> 00:18:28,107
Speaker 6: Base it on.

353
00:18:28,307 --> 00:18:30,787
Speaker 5: So the words are oyster. But goodness me at thirteen,

354
00:18:31,427 --> 00:18:33,707
Speaker 5: we just need to let thirteen year olds enjoy the game.

355
00:18:33,787 --> 00:18:37,747
Speaker 5: But as Den said, outstanding at this point for this age.

356
00:18:38,067 --> 00:18:40,947
Speaker 2: Wonderful stuff. And so give us a look at the

357
00:18:40,987 --> 00:18:45,267
Speaker 2: leader board then. Obviously, now with the cut having been made,

358
00:18:44,067 --> 00:18:47,267
Speaker 2: the leaders will tell off a little bit later on.

359
00:18:47,307 --> 00:18:48,667
Speaker 2: But what can you tell us about the shape of

360
00:18:48,667 --> 00:18:49,707
Speaker 2: the leader board at the moment.

361
00:18:50,347 --> 00:18:53,907
Speaker 5: Yeah, certainly the Korean team are really flexing their might

362
00:18:54,587 --> 00:18:56,627
Speaker 5: in the top ten. They had all six of their

363
00:18:56,627 --> 00:19:00,467
Speaker 5: team and everyone's underway. So the leading career in so

364
00:19:00,667 --> 00:19:04,227
Speaker 5: Young is at four to five holes and it's still

365
00:19:04,227 --> 00:19:06,787
Speaker 5: at minus twelve. She started at minus thirteen, but a

366
00:19:06,827 --> 00:19:09,667
Speaker 5: couple of their teammates Sum and O at minus three

367
00:19:09,707 --> 00:19:12,347
Speaker 5: and the course has moved to minus nine and Sidgeon

368
00:19:12,427 --> 00:19:15,867
Speaker 5: Park at minus four has moved to minus six. All

369
00:19:15,907 --> 00:19:19,107
Speaker 5: those Korean girls are ranked well inside the world's top fifty,

370
00:19:19,507 --> 00:19:21,947
Speaker 5: so in some sense there's no surprise there. But they're

371
00:19:21,987 --> 00:19:26,827
Speaker 5: really dominating that scoreboard. Rhiann Lax Meluxi Farm Philippines and

372
00:19:26,907 --> 00:19:31,267
Speaker 5: Jersey Roberts from Australia are thereabouts, but that Korean team

373
00:19:31,387 --> 00:19:33,227
Speaker 5: is really putting.

374
00:19:32,987 --> 00:19:33,627
Speaker 7: A marker up.

375
00:19:34,507 --> 00:19:36,467
Speaker 2: Good man, Steve, Thanks for the update, look forward to

376
00:19:36,547 --> 00:19:38,707
Speaker 2: chatting again a little bit later on this afternoon Steve.

377
00:19:38,747 --> 00:19:43,147
Speaker 2: We are at their Women's Asia Amateur Asia Pacific Championship

378
00:19:43,147 --> 00:19:46,707
Speaker 2: at Royal Wellington, the cut having been made and seven

379
00:19:46,787 --> 00:19:50,307
Speaker 2: kiwis to look out for as the afternoon progresses, and

380
00:19:50,507 --> 00:19:54,827
Speaker 2: tomorrow as well. News Talk tob and Weekend Sport twelve

381
00:19:54,907 --> 00:19:57,267
Speaker 2: twenty nine coming to your live from sale GP. Great

382
00:19:57,267 --> 00:19:59,387
Speaker 2: to welcome in one of New Zealand's most accomplished high

383
00:19:59,427 --> 00:20:02,667
Speaker 2: performance sailors, a world champion Olympian who's raced at the

384
00:20:02,707 --> 00:20:04,947
Speaker 2: very top of the sport, now on board with Artemis

385
00:20:05,147 --> 00:20:08,067
Speaker 2: after making the move from the resilient sale GP team

386
00:20:08,107 --> 00:20:11,187
Speaker 2: ahead of this year. Known for his calm decision making,

387
00:20:11,347 --> 00:20:15,547
Speaker 2: sharp tactical mind, ability to perform under enormous pressure, He's

388
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:17,627
Speaker 2: built a reputation as one of the most reliable and

389
00:20:17,707 --> 00:20:20,747
Speaker 2: skilled sailors on the circuit. Of course, I'm talking about

390
00:20:21,027 --> 00:20:22,987
Speaker 2: Artemis flight controller Andy Maloney.

391
00:20:22,987 --> 00:20:24,707
Speaker 8: Hello mate, Hey mate, how are you going?

392
00:20:24,827 --> 00:20:26,547
Speaker 2: Very well? Great to see you. How did the move

393
00:20:26,587 --> 00:20:29,827
Speaker 2: from the Brazilian team to Artemis Racing come about?

394
00:20:30,547 --> 00:20:33,187
Speaker 9: Yeah, I guess it was around halfway through last season.

395
00:20:33,667 --> 00:20:37,267
Speaker 9: Ian and Nathan sort of approached me. You know, I

396
00:20:37,307 --> 00:20:39,507
Speaker 9: had a great time helping Brazil sort of fast track

397
00:20:39,587 --> 00:20:42,227
Speaker 9: the introduction to SALGP, But this was sort of a

398
00:20:42,307 --> 00:20:45,467
Speaker 9: natural move joining Nathan and SALGP with everything else we're

399
00:20:45,507 --> 00:20:48,907
Speaker 9: doing together in super established professional sports team that I

400
00:20:48,947 --> 00:20:49,827
Speaker 9: was excited to join.

401
00:20:50,067 --> 00:20:52,787
Speaker 2: So the chance to work alongside Nathan Outridge was a

402
00:20:53,267 --> 00:20:54,347
Speaker 2: big factor in all of this.

403
00:20:54,667 --> 00:20:56,507
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that was one of the key drivers for sure.

404
00:20:56,507 --> 00:20:59,907
Speaker 2: All right, has it been an easy transition? Have you

405
00:21:00,267 --> 00:21:02,787
Speaker 2: found the team an easy one to fit into?

406
00:21:03,267 --> 00:21:03,507
Speaker 8: Yeah?

407
00:21:03,507 --> 00:21:07,667
Speaker 9: Well, I meant they're a very pfessional sailing team that

408
00:21:08,147 --> 00:21:10,587
Speaker 9: compete in a lot of different sailing leagues. So you know,

409
00:21:10,707 --> 00:21:13,227
Speaker 9: everything's very refined in the background, which makes it really

410
00:21:13,267 --> 00:21:15,867
Speaker 9: easy for the sailing team to come in and execute

411
00:21:15,867 --> 00:21:17,587
Speaker 9: at a really high level from the start, which is

412
00:21:17,987 --> 00:21:19,267
Speaker 9: you know, a lot of work went in behind the

413
00:21:19,307 --> 00:21:22,347
Speaker 9: scenes ahead of Perth a few weeks back, and we've

414
00:21:22,347 --> 00:21:23,787
Speaker 9: done a lot of good work between now and then,

415
00:21:23,787 --> 00:21:25,667
Speaker 9: and hopefully we can come here and go a couple better.

416
00:21:25,907 --> 00:21:27,707
Speaker 2: When you look back at your time with Brazil, I

417
00:21:27,707 --> 00:21:29,187
Speaker 2: know that's in the past now, but what do you

418
00:21:29,227 --> 00:21:31,627
Speaker 2: take away from your time with that team?

419
00:21:31,947 --> 00:21:34,507
Speaker 9: Yeah, for me, it was an amazing challenge as an athlete.

420
00:21:34,507 --> 00:21:36,707
Speaker 9: I think stepping into a totally different scene and trying

421
00:21:36,707 --> 00:21:39,267
Speaker 9: to help build a team from scratch. You know, it's

422
00:21:39,307 --> 00:21:41,747
Speaker 9: no easy feat within sale GP to come in with

423
00:21:41,787 --> 00:21:44,747
Speaker 9: a limited training time, and you know, I think that

424
00:21:44,747 --> 00:21:47,747
Speaker 9: that team did amazingly well with the limited experience on

425
00:21:47,827 --> 00:21:50,907
Speaker 9: board as a whole. Within the team. You've seen teams

426
00:21:50,907 --> 00:21:52,707
Speaker 9: like the Black Falls when we first joined the league.

427
00:21:52,747 --> 00:21:54,747
Speaker 9: You know, it takes us a whole season to start

428
00:21:54,787 --> 00:21:57,547
Speaker 9: being able to podium and win events. So yeah, it's

429
00:21:57,587 --> 00:22:00,227
Speaker 9: no easy feat. And you know this itemis group is

430
00:22:00,267 --> 00:22:02,907
Speaker 9: a different beast having such a such a history within

431
00:22:02,947 --> 00:22:05,187
Speaker 9: the sport and the group of sailors, they've really pulled together.

432
00:22:05,187 --> 00:22:07,107
Speaker 9: There's no reason why we can be fighting for the

433
00:22:07,147 --> 00:22:08,107
Speaker 9: podium straight away.

434
00:22:08,587 --> 00:22:12,067
Speaker 2: What's some Nathan outeroks like, Yeah.

435
00:22:12,187 --> 00:22:15,667
Speaker 9: He's an amazing mate. He's very calm and composed on

436
00:22:15,707 --> 00:22:18,027
Speaker 9: the racetrack. And you know, I think something that stands

437
00:22:18,027 --> 00:22:21,507
Speaker 9: out about Nathan is this is comms and ability to

438
00:22:21,547 --> 00:22:23,707
Speaker 9: paint the picture really forear in advance, which I think

439
00:22:23,747 --> 00:22:26,787
Speaker 9: is a really important at SALGP when there's thirteen boats

440
00:22:26,827 --> 00:22:28,107
Speaker 9: on very small race tracks.

441
00:22:28,467 --> 00:22:31,827
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and just on that with thirteen now, I mean

442
00:22:32,147 --> 00:22:35,787
Speaker 2: it's crowded anyway, right with thirteen. How does that change

443
00:22:35,787 --> 00:22:39,667
Speaker 2: the dynamic of what happens, particularly around the coms on

444
00:22:39,707 --> 00:22:40,387
Speaker 2: the boat.

445
00:22:41,187 --> 00:22:43,187
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean the coms looop is really high and

446
00:22:43,227 --> 00:22:45,627
Speaker 9: it becomes more and more cluttered more boats that are

447
00:22:45,667 --> 00:22:48,627
Speaker 9: on the racecourse, so you end up having less bandwidth

448
00:22:48,667 --> 00:22:51,707
Speaker 9: for talking about speed and performance and handling and that

449
00:22:51,787 --> 00:22:53,987
Speaker 9: sort of needs to come naturally within the team. And

450
00:22:54,107 --> 00:22:55,267
Speaker 9: you know, you've got to be able to sell the

451
00:22:55,267 --> 00:22:58,267
Speaker 9: boat at that highest level without talking about it at all,

452
00:22:58,347 --> 00:23:01,107
Speaker 9: so that the coms open up for the tactics and

453
00:23:01,147 --> 00:23:02,067
Speaker 9: the other boats.

454
00:23:02,187 --> 00:23:05,547
Speaker 2: Can ask you some flight control questions, slightly more technical

455
00:23:05,627 --> 00:23:07,947
Speaker 2: questions perhaps, but one so I think, which will resonate

456
00:23:07,987 --> 00:23:12,107
Speaker 2: with all of our audience. The system presumably is incredibly sophisticated.

457
00:23:12,347 --> 00:23:15,627
Speaker 2: So how much is instinct and how much is automated?

458
00:23:16,427 --> 00:23:18,947
Speaker 2: You know, what's the mix? Are you? Is it maybe

459
00:23:18,947 --> 00:23:22,347
Speaker 2: what you see or is the system also telling you

460
00:23:22,387 --> 00:23:22,947
Speaker 2: what to do?

461
00:23:24,107 --> 00:23:26,387
Speaker 9: Now, there's not much you can really see from where

462
00:23:26,387 --> 00:23:28,147
Speaker 9: we fly the boats. You know, we're very low down

463
00:23:28,187 --> 00:23:30,547
Speaker 9: and we're getting blocked by people in front and behind

464
00:23:30,627 --> 00:23:32,707
Speaker 9: us on board. So a lot of it comes down

465
00:23:32,747 --> 00:23:35,107
Speaker 9: to feel and the coms that you're listening to from

466
00:23:35,147 --> 00:23:37,227
Speaker 9: the other crew members on board who are like heads

467
00:23:37,267 --> 00:23:38,987
Speaker 9: out of the boat and really painting the picture with

468
00:23:39,027 --> 00:23:42,107
Speaker 9: the breeze and what's coming next. So for us, it's

469
00:23:42,107 --> 00:23:44,907
Speaker 9: a lot about anticipation and feeling the boat underneath you,

470
00:23:45,707 --> 00:23:48,267
Speaker 9: but we rely on the team around us to really

471
00:23:48,307 --> 00:23:49,787
Speaker 9: paint that picture well for us as well.

472
00:23:50,707 --> 00:23:52,627
Speaker 2: How do you keep it stable at high speed?

473
00:23:54,467 --> 00:23:56,627
Speaker 9: You get you do get used to the high speeds.

474
00:23:57,787 --> 00:24:00,267
Speaker 9: You know, high speed isn't too big of an issue.

475
00:24:00,267 --> 00:24:03,067
Speaker 9: It's more the sea state. So you know, in Perth

476
00:24:03,107 --> 00:24:04,827
Speaker 9: a few weeks ago there were some pretty big waves

477
00:24:04,867 --> 00:24:07,067
Speaker 9: and that was like the limit in flying the boat.

478
00:24:07,107 --> 00:24:09,707
Speaker 9: It was really difficult. Here in Ackland. We're going to

479
00:24:09,747 --> 00:24:11,987
Speaker 9: have different challenges. It'll be flat or water, but it's

480
00:24:12,027 --> 00:24:14,787
Speaker 9: going to be really hard hitting puffs, so the boat's

481
00:24:14,787 --> 00:24:18,227
Speaker 9: going to be accelerating and decelerating really quickly. So the

482
00:24:18,267 --> 00:24:21,467
Speaker 9: flight controller controllers are going to have to stay super

483
00:24:21,547 --> 00:24:24,227
Speaker 9: dynamic on the controls that you've got at your disposal.

484
00:24:24,707 --> 00:24:29,227
Speaker 2: How sensitive is it to making, you know, a small error,

485
00:24:29,387 --> 00:24:31,107
Speaker 2: like if you if you were to make a small era,

486
00:24:31,187 --> 00:24:32,507
Speaker 2: can that have big repercussions?

487
00:24:32,747 --> 00:24:33,307
Speaker 8: Yeah? For sure.

488
00:24:33,307 --> 00:24:35,747
Speaker 9: It's always just about finding that limit as to how

489
00:24:35,747 --> 00:24:37,987
Speaker 9: hard you can push it. And as a flight controler,

490
00:24:37,987 --> 00:24:40,667
Speaker 9: if you push it slightly too hard in different scenarios,

491
00:24:40,907 --> 00:24:42,667
Speaker 9: the foils are going to vent and you're going to

492
00:24:42,707 --> 00:24:45,427
Speaker 9: fall out of the sky, you know, or like you

493
00:24:45,467 --> 00:24:47,267
Speaker 9: saw in Perth on our first day we had a

494
00:24:47,307 --> 00:24:49,947
Speaker 9: bad bottom mic rounding and one of our guys got injured.

495
00:24:49,987 --> 00:24:52,307
Speaker 9: So yeah, the consequences can be quite high.

496
00:24:52,347 --> 00:24:56,067
Speaker 2: Would you say you're an aggressive or conservative sailor by nature?

497
00:24:57,067 --> 00:24:59,707
Speaker 9: I think my nature is quite conservative, But I think

498
00:24:59,747 --> 00:25:02,027
Speaker 9: as a flight controller it's all about picking sort of

499
00:25:02,067 --> 00:25:04,587
Speaker 9: that risk reward balance and knowing when to push it

500
00:25:04,627 --> 00:25:06,587
Speaker 9: when you have to, and then knowing when to to

501
00:25:06,707 --> 00:25:08,027
Speaker 9: back that risk off a little bit.

502
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:10,787
Speaker 2: And I've asked a couple of others about the boats

503
00:25:10,787 --> 00:25:14,227
Speaker 2: and what their ceiling might be. It's probably impossible to know,

504
00:25:14,387 --> 00:25:16,147
Speaker 2: right But do you think there is more potential to

505
00:25:16,267 --> 00:25:17,787
Speaker 2: unlock in the air fifties?

506
00:25:18,667 --> 00:25:20,587
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure with the equipment we have now, I

507
00:25:20,627 --> 00:25:23,907
Speaker 9: don't think the limit's been quite tapped into. So we're

508
00:25:23,947 --> 00:25:26,147
Speaker 9: always striving to try and find something we can do

509
00:25:26,187 --> 00:25:28,387
Speaker 9: differently to the others to make that little jump. And

510
00:25:28,867 --> 00:25:30,787
Speaker 9: you know, as a league, they're always looking to develop

511
00:25:30,827 --> 00:25:33,427
Speaker 9: the gear that we're sailing on and there's there's a

512
00:25:33,427 --> 00:25:35,067
Speaker 9: lot further that we can go with that as well,

513
00:25:35,067 --> 00:25:38,467
Speaker 9: So the boats will continue to get faster and higher performance.

514
00:25:38,627 --> 00:25:40,987
Speaker 2: And do you have fairly ambitious goals? I mean, you know,

515
00:25:42,107 --> 00:25:45,787
Speaker 2: a newish team, but yourself, Nathan Outradge, when Troma Chris

516
00:25:45,827 --> 00:25:47,667
Speaker 2: Draper is on board, this is a you know, this

517
00:25:47,747 --> 00:25:50,827
Speaker 2: is a high quality crew. Do you have have ambitions

518
00:25:50,827 --> 00:25:54,547
Speaker 2: perhaps which are a further advanced than an ordinary new

519
00:25:54,587 --> 00:25:55,347
Speaker 2: team coming into the.

520
00:25:55,307 --> 00:25:58,707
Speaker 9: Competition, Yeah, one hundred percent. You know, none of us

521
00:25:58,747 --> 00:26:01,707
Speaker 9: are going to be satisfied unless we're we're making those

522
00:26:01,747 --> 00:26:04,027
Speaker 9: top threes at the regular events and making that Grand

523
00:26:04,067 --> 00:26:06,147
Speaker 9: Final at the end of the year. So yeah, I

524
00:26:06,147 --> 00:26:07,827
Speaker 9: think think it's the same with all the other top

525
00:26:07,827 --> 00:26:09,427
Speaker 9: teams here. You know, we're striving to get on the

526
00:26:09,427 --> 00:26:11,787
Speaker 9: podium as often as we can and to set ourselves

527
00:26:11,867 --> 00:26:13,107
Speaker 9: up well for that final race.

528
00:26:13,147 --> 00:26:14,867
Speaker 2: All right, what's the weather telling us this afternoon? What

529
00:26:14,867 --> 00:26:16,307
Speaker 2: are we going to see out there this afternoon?

530
00:26:16,827 --> 00:26:17,667
Speaker 8: It's going to be awesome.

531
00:26:18,467 --> 00:26:20,547
Speaker 9: You know, as a sailor that's grown up in Akland,

532
00:26:20,947 --> 00:26:23,747
Speaker 9: when it's a south southwestern like this and this breezy,

533
00:26:23,867 --> 00:26:26,147
Speaker 9: especially on fast boats like this, you sort of get

534
00:26:26,187 --> 00:26:27,907
Speaker 9: out of the harbor pretty quickly and you go out

535
00:26:27,947 --> 00:26:31,867
Speaker 9: to bigger spaces. So this afternoon we're being refined to

536
00:26:31,907 --> 00:26:35,467
Speaker 9: this really small racecourse on the fastest boats and thirteen

537
00:26:35,507 --> 00:26:37,907
Speaker 9: of them, so it's going to be super exciting to watch,

538
00:26:37,947 --> 00:26:40,507
Speaker 9: and yeah, it'll be really cool racing. Do you get

539
00:26:40,547 --> 00:26:43,587
Speaker 9: nervous every once in a while, But I think it's

540
00:26:43,587 --> 00:26:45,787
Speaker 9: a good thing. You know, like coming into these events,

541
00:26:45,907 --> 00:26:48,627
Speaker 9: it's super exciting and you do get those nerves, but

542
00:26:48,627 --> 00:26:50,067
Speaker 9: by the time you get out there on the water,

543
00:26:51,107 --> 00:26:52,987
Speaker 9: you're just focusing on the next move, and you get

544
00:26:52,987 --> 00:26:54,787
Speaker 9: so in the zone with what you're doing on board

545
00:26:54,787 --> 00:26:56,907
Speaker 9: that it's all sort of out the window at that stage.

546
00:26:56,947 --> 00:27:00,067
Speaker 2: And in between races, can you do much of value

547
00:27:00,107 --> 00:27:01,427
Speaker 2: as you're sitting out there, you know, waiting for the

548
00:27:01,467 --> 00:27:04,187
Speaker 2: next race? Can you do much of value in that time?

549
00:27:04,267 --> 00:27:06,027
Speaker 2: Any adjustments you can make or not? Really?

550
00:27:06,427 --> 00:27:08,187
Speaker 9: Yeah, you've really got to make the most of that

551
00:27:08,267 --> 00:27:10,467
Speaker 9: sort of it's usually like six or seven minutes. You

552
00:27:10,507 --> 00:27:12,867
Speaker 9: have to sort of speak to your coaches in the booth,

553
00:27:13,147 --> 00:27:15,547
Speaker 9: try and get a download on maybe what the teams

554
00:27:15,587 --> 00:27:17,827
Speaker 9: that won those races did differently to yourselves, and make

555
00:27:17,867 --> 00:27:20,227
Speaker 9: a few small adjustments to how you're sailing the boat.

556
00:27:20,787 --> 00:27:22,787
Speaker 9: But there's not much you can change because it's such

557
00:27:22,827 --> 00:27:24,667
Speaker 9: rapid fire racing that you've sort of got to have

558
00:27:24,667 --> 00:27:26,187
Speaker 9: done the prep before the day and.

559
00:27:26,187 --> 00:27:28,547
Speaker 2: Just to finish Auckland. I mean, you must you must

560
00:27:28,627 --> 00:27:31,107
Speaker 2: enjoy being here. Are you all around the world, you know?

561
00:27:31,227 --> 00:27:33,347
Speaker 2: But is it nice to be back?

562
00:27:33,707 --> 00:27:34,227
Speaker 8: It's awesome?

563
00:27:34,307 --> 00:27:36,067
Speaker 9: Yeah, Yeah, I can't wait to get out there today

564
00:27:36,107 --> 00:27:39,187
Speaker 9: and to soak in that grandstand, in that atmosphere and

565
00:27:39,347 --> 00:27:41,027
Speaker 9: see all the friends and family and it's just going

566
00:27:41,107 --> 00:27:42,747
Speaker 9: to be best event of the year for sure.

567
00:27:42,787 --> 00:27:44,387
Speaker 2: I'm sure other of us will have a few fans

568
00:27:44,507 --> 00:27:46,347
Speaker 2: even though it's a it's not your home water, I'm

569
00:27:46,347 --> 00:27:48,667
Speaker 2: sure there'll be a few cheering for yourself and maybe

570
00:27:48,707 --> 00:27:50,787
Speaker 2: Nathan as well, although he's Australian, isn't he.

571
00:27:51,787 --> 00:27:54,907
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think he's an adopted here fair enough.

572
00:27:54,907 --> 00:27:56,947
Speaker 2: Too great to see you made it. Thanks for stopping

573
00:27:56,987 --> 00:27:59,787
Speaker 2: and all the best for this afternoon, for tomorrow and

574
00:27:59,867 --> 00:28:00,627
Speaker 2: for the season as well.

575
00:28:00,627 --> 00:28:02,227
Speaker 8: Andy, all right, cheers justin Goods.

576
00:28:02,267 --> 00:28:04,267
Speaker 2: So you made things indeed. Andy Maloney there from the

577
00:28:04,387 --> 00:28:06,427
Speaker 2: Lama's team, flight controller and one of the more or

578
00:28:06,427 --> 00:28:09,187
Speaker 2: accomplished sailors going around. Someone looking forward to seeing on

579
00:28:09,307 --> 00:28:12,187
Speaker 2: Artemis later on this afternoon, twenty two away from one.

580
00:28:12,267 --> 00:28:14,507
Speaker 2: Here at News Talks B Peter Berling when we come.

581
00:28:14,387 --> 00:28:19,787
Speaker 1: Back, fast paced sport with a splash live from Oftens.

582
00:28:19,827 --> 00:28:23,107
Speaker 1: When you're Point at Sale GV It's Jason Bene on

583
00:28:23,227 --> 00:28:27,907
Speaker 1: Weekend Sport with GJ. Gardnerholmes, New Zealand's most trusted home builder.

584
00:28:28,107 --> 00:28:29,027
Speaker 1: News Talks at.

585
00:28:28,907 --> 00:28:31,987
Speaker 2: B coming up nineteen away from one. We're trying to

586
00:28:31,987 --> 00:28:34,147
Speaker 2: get you to coast to coast but as you will

587
00:28:34,187 --> 00:28:39,827
Speaker 2: probably understand, it's not always easy to get to get

588
00:28:40,147 --> 00:28:42,467
Speaker 2: the coverage we need, although I believe we might be

589
00:28:42,507 --> 00:28:44,867
Speaker 2: able to go to Brian Ashby who has found a

590
00:28:44,907 --> 00:28:50,067
Speaker 2: pocket of reception. See this is Brian Ashby's broadcast experience

591
00:28:50,147 --> 00:28:52,947
Speaker 2: coming to the fore. If he misses a call or

592
00:28:52,987 --> 00:28:56,587
Speaker 2: seeson missed call, he knows that his services may well

593
00:28:56,627 --> 00:28:59,947
Speaker 2: be required on the radio and well, as you know,

594
00:29:00,027 --> 00:29:03,747
Speaker 2: with coast to coast, going from Kumada Beach to sunder Beach,

595
00:29:04,267 --> 00:29:08,827
Speaker 2: there are bits of that where reception isn't always possible.

596
00:29:08,827 --> 00:29:11,827
Speaker 2: But Brian Ashby does join us. Now, Gush, let's hope

597
00:29:11,867 --> 00:29:14,107
Speaker 2: we can hear you. Fine, I'm pretty sure that we can.

598
00:29:14,147 --> 00:29:17,227
Speaker 2: What can you tell us on the longest day today?

599
00:29:17,227 --> 00:29:19,107
Speaker 2: Good to chattios always.

600
00:29:18,867 --> 00:29:21,307
Speaker 10: Good a parneer and I've got co commentated Dick Brunson

601
00:29:21,347 --> 00:29:26,107
Speaker 10: alongside me. It's an absolute beautiful day on this eastern

602
00:29:26,147 --> 00:29:28,267
Speaker 10: side of the Southern Alps. Now, we started at six

603
00:29:28,347 --> 00:29:32,987
Speaker 10: o'clock this morning with the fields in cool trisp conditions.

604
00:29:33,307 --> 00:29:37,427
Speaker 10: Tamus Elliott, the three twenty four champion, has really sort

605
00:29:37,427 --> 00:29:41,027
Speaker 10: of thrown it down big time and into the early

606
00:29:41,067 --> 00:29:44,907
Speaker 10: stages of the kag Now and lead Dick Bruns about

607
00:29:44,907 --> 00:29:49,227
Speaker 10: eleven twelve minutes over the twenty twenty three champion Sam Manson.

608
00:29:49,587 --> 00:29:53,147
Speaker 10: He actually had a fifteen minute and looked both very

609
00:29:53,267 --> 00:29:56,787
Speaker 10: very confident peddlers. So at fifteen minute lead by Hamus

610
00:29:56,827 --> 00:30:00,347
Speaker 10: Elliot's going to be really hard for Sam Manson to

611
00:30:00,387 --> 00:30:03,627
Speaker 10: catch up. But as Gas said, it's a glorious.

612
00:30:03,067 --> 00:30:06,147
Speaker 11: Day out here. That is hardly and he wins.

613
00:30:06,227 --> 00:30:09,267
Speaker 12: The river levels are sitting about seventy five.

614
00:30:09,227 --> 00:30:11,867
Speaker 11: Umex which means it's just a perfect.

615
00:30:11,587 --> 00:30:12,547
Speaker 12: River to paddle down.

616
00:30:12,787 --> 00:30:16,267
Speaker 10: They'll be really enjoying the conditions out there. The women's race,

617
00:30:16,347 --> 00:30:20,507
Speaker 10: Pineyer Hannah Love leading into the river a lead of

618
00:30:20,827 --> 00:30:24,507
Speaker 10: about eleven twelve minutes over the chases, who include Fa

619
00:30:24,587 --> 00:30:28,187
Speaker 10: Taylor in second place, Rebecca Kingsford in third place, Deborah

620
00:30:28,267 --> 00:30:32,027
Speaker 10: Lynch right on her tail, the defending champion in fourth place,

621
00:30:32,027 --> 00:30:35,227
Speaker 10: and Emialy Travail in the top five. But some significant

622
00:30:35,387 --> 00:30:38,307
Speaker 10: toing and froing could happen in this women's race. Rebecca

623
00:30:38,387 --> 00:30:41,627
Speaker 10: Kingsford beat Hannah LUNs by twelve minutes in the wy

624
00:30:41,707 --> 00:30:45,067
Speaker 10: Matt Classic in December. That's exactly the same course. There's

625
00:30:45,067 --> 00:30:46,867

631
00:31:02,267 --> 00:31:05,147

632
00:31:05,387 --> 00:31:08,747
Speaker 10: So some great race your head. Binding seventy k's down

633
00:31:08,787 --> 00:31:11,947

Speaker 2: GP Technologies has led an all hands on deck operation

646
00:31:51,547 --> 00:31:53,627
Speaker 2: to rebuild the Black Foils have fifty in time for

647
00:31:53,667 --> 00:31:56,427
Speaker 2: their home event this weekend. A damaged section of the

648
00:31:56,427 --> 00:32:00,587
Speaker 2: team's port hull, a roughly two meter structural segment sheared

649
00:32:00,587 --> 00:32:03,547
Speaker 2: off and the impact was fabricated from scratch in the

650
00:32:03,667 --> 00:32:08,027
Speaker 2: UK before being shipped to Aukland for final assembly. Specialist

651
00:32:08,067 --> 00:32:12,467
Speaker 2: technicians have integrated the new whole section, replated composite panels

652
00:32:12,747 --> 00:32:16,707
Speaker 2: and precisely realigned the boat's control systems, ensuring it meets

653
00:32:16,947 --> 00:32:21,907
Speaker 2: sale GP's strict safety and performance standards. Of course, when

654
00:32:21,947 --> 00:32:23,867
Speaker 2: it comes to the Black Foils, one of New Zealand's

655
00:32:23,867 --> 00:32:27,067
Speaker 2: greatest sailors is at the wheel. Olympic gold medalist, multiple

Speaker 2: America's Cup winner and a skipping on around the world

657
00:32:29,547 --> 00:32:34,027
Speaker 2: for his precision, composure and relentless competitiveness none other than

658
00:32:34,067 --> 00:32:37,507
Speaker 2: Blackfoil's driver Peter Berling, who joins us now. Peter, thanks

659
00:32:37,507 --> 00:32:40,307
Speaker 2: for your time. Were you always confident that you would

660
00:32:40,347 --> 00:32:42,427
Speaker 2: be on the start line this weekend?

661
00:32:43,987 --> 00:32:47,987
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, we're always pretty confident. It's amazing what the

662
00:32:48,147 --> 00:32:51,587
Speaker 13: tech team can achieve in a pretty short period of firement.

663
00:32:52,187 --> 00:32:54,667
Speaker 13: I think this has been another example of that with

664
00:32:54,787 --> 00:32:57,187
Speaker 13: them getting the part made up in the UK, getting

665
00:32:57,187 --> 00:32:59,387
Speaker 13: it every freighted down here, get attached to the boat,

666
00:32:59,467 --> 00:33:01,947
Speaker 13: and yeah, being able to get out for the little

667
00:33:01,947 --> 00:33:05,147
Speaker 13: commission run yesterday. It was pretty nice just to check

668
00:33:05,187 --> 00:33:08,467
Speaker 13: everything off, little teething things that we're nice to get

669
00:33:08,467 --> 00:33:10,467
Speaker 13: out the way, and then looking forward to being back

670
00:33:10,507 --> 00:33:11,627
Speaker 13: racing at a hundred percent today.

671
00:33:12,227 --> 00:33:14,347
Speaker 2: Did the boat feel the same once you were back

672
00:33:14,387 --> 00:33:16,107
Speaker 2: on the water yesterday? You mentioned a couple of little

673
00:33:16,187 --> 00:33:19,227
Speaker 2: teething issues, did it? Does it feel the same now?

674
00:33:19,387 --> 00:33:20,587
Speaker 2: Is it going to feel the same when you hit

675
00:33:20,627 --> 00:33:21,427
Speaker 2: the start line today?

676
00:33:22,547 --> 00:33:24,187
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, it'll feel the same.

677
00:33:25,987 --> 00:33:26,187
Speaker 14: Yeah.

678
00:33:26,227 --> 00:33:29,467
Speaker 13: These things are small turning things really that we're working

679
00:33:29,507 --> 00:33:32,987
Speaker 13: through with obviously the rebuild. They kind of replace ourative

680
00:33:33,707 --> 00:33:35,907
Speaker 13: components as wells just making sure they all set up

681
00:33:37,227 --> 00:33:41,587
Speaker 13: exactly how you liked them. And then yeah, but that's

682
00:33:42,187 --> 00:33:44,827
Speaker 13: all really good and it looks like it's going to

683
00:33:44,867 --> 00:33:47,427
Speaker 13: be an interesting breeze out there today. This range kind

684
00:33:47,467 --> 00:33:51,587
Speaker 13: of tridd that we got early on today's disappearing and

685
00:33:51,707 --> 00:33:52,707
Speaker 13: looking forward to get into it.

686
00:33:53,347 --> 00:33:55,907
Speaker 2: Are you confident pushing the boat to the limit again

687
00:33:56,267 --> 00:33:58,947
Speaker 2: or will you have to manage the risk a little bit?

688
00:34:00,867 --> 00:34:03,507
Speaker 13: You definitely, you've got to push the boat too hard.

689
00:34:05,027 --> 00:34:08,267
Speaker 13: You know, these tight courses. You know, we obviously learned

690
00:34:08,267 --> 00:34:10,667
Speaker 13: from the incident and first, but at the same time,

691
00:34:10,707 --> 00:34:12,987
Speaker 13: you've you've got to keep racing, You've got to keep

692
00:34:12,987 --> 00:34:16,827
Speaker 13: pushing the boat. Hearts that for us it was suppose

693
00:34:16,907 --> 00:34:18,907
Speaker 13: frustrating and first we felt in great shot game at

694
00:34:18,947 --> 00:34:21,827
Speaker 13: the weekend and then you're to get and it's been

695
00:34:21,947 --> 00:34:23,587
Speaker 13: like that to take you out out of a contingtion

696
00:34:23,707 --> 00:34:26,867
Speaker 13: in the first races. It was such frustrating. So you know,

697
00:34:27,027 --> 00:34:28,507
Speaker 13: part of it's keeping the boat in one piece, and

698
00:34:28,547 --> 00:34:31,627
Speaker 13: that's what we're trying to do this weekend. Makes you

699
00:34:31,747 --> 00:34:33,227
Speaker 13: keep the boat in one piece, get through the final

700
00:34:33,267 --> 00:34:35,227
Speaker 13: and put on a good shong from our home fans.

701
00:34:35,827 --> 00:34:38,787
Speaker 2: When you're out there at speed, how much you're relying

702
00:34:38,827 --> 00:34:44,547
Speaker 2: on instrumentation compared to what you're seeing visually with your own.

703
00:34:44,347 --> 00:34:51,947
Speaker 13: Eyes, I'm not sure the executive it's got a true question,

704
00:34:52,067 --> 00:34:54,747
Speaker 13: But you definitely rely on the instrumentation a lot.

705
00:34:56,067 --> 00:34:56,427
Speaker 6: For us.

706
00:34:56,427 --> 00:35:00,307
Speaker 13: The instrumentation tells you where things like the great boundary

707
00:35:00,347 --> 00:35:04,147
Speaker 13: are now, exactly where the start line is, how far

708
00:35:04,227 --> 00:35:08,027
Speaker 13: behind that you are. But then there's all the also

709
00:35:08,067 --> 00:35:09,867
Speaker 13: the whole field side of things as well, you know,

710
00:35:09,907 --> 00:35:12,267
Speaker 13: actually being able to make the boat there fast, get

711
00:35:12,307 --> 00:35:14,307
Speaker 13: it to do what it wants, what you want it

712
00:35:14,387 --> 00:35:18,307
Speaker 13: to do, and how quick it's going to accelerate de accelerate,

713
00:35:19,147 --> 00:35:21,507
Speaker 13: that kind of thing. So, yeah, you rely on the

714
00:35:21,547 --> 00:35:24,507
Speaker 13: data a lot when you're sailing and also when you're

715
00:35:24,627 --> 00:35:27,947
Speaker 13: reviewing afterwards to see kind of you know, what changes

716
00:35:27,987 --> 00:35:30,827
Speaker 13: you can make. But there's also a lot of feel

717
00:35:32,307 --> 00:35:33,867
Speaker 13: when you're actually saving the boat sit there as well,

718
00:35:33,947 --> 00:35:34,947
Speaker 13: so you're really.

719
00:35:34,867 --> 00:35:38,627
Speaker 2: Balances to Yeah, I guess I was just wondering about

720
00:35:38,627 --> 00:35:40,987
Speaker 2: your instinct as a sailor and whether that, you know,

721
00:35:41,107 --> 00:35:44,307
Speaker 2: play because there's so much data right probably and too

722
00:35:44,387 --> 00:35:46,427
Speaker 2: much for you to take in, especially when you're racing.

723
00:35:46,507 --> 00:35:49,307
Speaker 2: So whether you're your instinct as a sailor is still

724
00:35:49,587 --> 00:35:50,707
Speaker 2: the most important thing.

725
00:35:52,747 --> 00:35:56,027
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, you've got to get the right balance. I'd

726
00:35:56,067 --> 00:35:58,707
Speaker 13: say your instincts the sailor always the most important thing.

727
00:35:58,747 --> 00:36:02,707
Speaker 13: But your part of that is what bits of what

728
00:36:02,867 --> 00:36:05,747
Speaker 13: data or you know, also bits of communication from the

729
00:36:05,867 --> 00:36:08,347
Speaker 13: other sailor is on board, you know, and there's a

730
00:36:08,427 --> 00:36:11,507
Speaker 13: lot of information going around it. You've got to make

731
00:36:11,547 --> 00:36:13,187
Speaker 13: sure you turned into the right bit at the right

732
00:36:13,187 --> 00:36:15,747
Speaker 13: time and really making the right decision. And you know

733
00:36:15,827 --> 00:36:19,307
Speaker 13: that's that's the key to winning these events is making

734
00:36:19,347 --> 00:36:22,827
Speaker 13: more right decisions and in the person excess, that's what

735
00:36:22,827 --> 00:36:24,467
Speaker 13: we'll be aiming to do this weekend.

736
00:36:25,147 --> 00:36:27,707
Speaker 2: Are we getting close to the performance limits of these

737
00:36:27,827 --> 00:36:29,587
Speaker 2: fifts or is there still more to come?

738
00:36:31,867 --> 00:36:35,467
Speaker 13: I think it's evolution, right, It's you always think you're

739
00:36:35,467 --> 00:36:39,067
Speaker 13: close to the limit and then something you figure something out,

740
00:36:39,187 --> 00:36:42,387
Speaker 13: or a bit of equipment changes, or the format changes

741
00:36:42,387 --> 00:36:47,027
Speaker 13: a little bit. For us, whenever you look back, you

742
00:36:47,067 --> 00:36:48,387
Speaker 13: don't want to look back too much, but you've got

743
00:36:48,427 --> 00:36:50,707
Speaker 13: to look back to try and decide where how you're

744
00:36:50,707 --> 00:36:55,827
Speaker 13: going forward. And if you look back, it so much

745
00:36:55,827 --> 00:36:58,427
Speaker 13: better today than we ever have been. And I think

746
00:36:58,427 --> 00:37:00,627
Speaker 13: you'd say that right across the board. So you know,

747
00:37:00,707 --> 00:37:06,667
Speaker 13: it's really about which team keeps evolving the quickest. We'll

748
00:37:06,747 --> 00:37:09,187
Speaker 13: keep at the front of the field, so that that's

749
00:37:09,267 --> 00:37:09,907
Speaker 13: very much our goal.

750
00:37:09,987 --> 00:37:10,307
Speaker 6: Is a group.

751
00:37:11,627 --> 00:37:14,067
Speaker 2: Do you get the chance to enjoy being in New

752
00:37:14,187 --> 00:37:17,987
Speaker 2: Zealand home waters or is it all business when you're here?

753
00:37:19,827 --> 00:37:21,307
Speaker 13: Well, I could have for a little wingfoil on the

754
00:37:21,307 --> 00:37:24,187
Speaker 13: course on there's I think it was so it was

755
00:37:24,267 --> 00:37:27,347
Speaker 13: quite nice to cruise around to see the perspective and

756
00:37:27,587 --> 00:37:30,507
Speaker 13: it was super cool to get out yesterday as well,

757
00:37:31,507 --> 00:37:34,027
Speaker 13: take my good friend Kine for a burn in there.

758
00:37:34,027 --> 00:37:36,667
Speaker 13: Fifty's ever been on a boat of that before, so

759
00:37:36,707 --> 00:37:39,707
Speaker 13: that it was pretty cool to see, you know, someone

760
00:37:39,747 --> 00:37:44,467
Speaker 13: with some pretty nice conditions. But yeah, I mean it's

761
00:37:44,827 --> 00:37:46,787
Speaker 13: so special to raise of vun home fans. Yes, in

762
00:37:46,827 --> 00:37:50,307
Speaker 13: that grandstand. It's seeing all the support we have here

763
00:37:50,907 --> 00:37:54,227
Speaker 13: for the Black Boils and just seeing how much New

764
00:37:54,307 --> 00:37:57,067
Speaker 13: Zealand And and Auckland have got behind the event is

765
00:37:57,107 --> 00:38:02,707
Speaker 13: super cool. So for us it's definitely special. You've obviously

766
00:38:02,787 --> 00:38:05,387
Speaker 13: got to make sure you're concentrating enough on the business

767
00:38:05,427 --> 00:38:07,267
Speaker 13: side of things as well than getting the job down

768
00:38:07,267 --> 00:38:09,907
Speaker 13: out there on the water. But yeah, with that you

769
00:38:09,987 --> 00:38:11,947
Speaker 13: definitely take the energy of being.

770

Speaker 2: Thank you mate. That is Peter Billing, Black Foils Driver.

774
00:38:20,667 --> 00:38:23,707
Speaker 2: So back on the start line, it maybe it was

775
00:38:23,747 --> 00:38:26,267
Speaker 2: more touch and go than we thought. We will probably

776
00:38:26,307 --> 00:38:28,627
Speaker 2: never know. It always felt as though they would move

777
00:38:28,627 --> 00:38:31,067

Speaker 2: appreciate that. And worrying news coming out of the Hurricanes.

805
00:39:53,187 --> 00:39:56,827
Speaker 2: Reuben Love has sustained an ankle injury while training with

806
00:39:56,907 --> 00:40:01,227
Speaker 2: the squad in Palmerston North earlier this week. The Hurricanes

807
00:40:01,267 --> 00:40:03,747
Speaker 2: have issued a very brief media statement saying that he

808
00:40:03,787 --> 00:40:07,787
Speaker 2: will undergo further assessment early next week to determine the

809
00:40:07,867 --> 00:40:11,387
Speaker 2: extent of the injury. The Hurricanes will provide an update

810
00:40:11,467 --> 00:40:15,587
Speaker 2: once that process is complete. Now, the conspiracy theorist in

811
00:40:15,667 --> 00:40:18,867
Speaker 2: me says that they wouldn't put out a media statement

812
00:40:18,867 --> 00:40:21,067
Speaker 2: if he just tweaked an ankle. What your hope is,

813
00:40:21,107 --> 00:40:24,107
Speaker 2: this isn't the fore runner to what could be a

814
00:40:24,187 --> 00:40:28,547
Speaker 2: serious injury for Ruben Love. Let's not put the cart

815
00:40:28,587 --> 00:40:32,587
Speaker 2: before the horse and wait to hear. But that's the

816
00:40:32,667 --> 00:40:35,467
Speaker 2: latest we know that Ruben Love has sustained an ankle injury.

817
00:40:35,867 --> 00:40:39,067
Speaker 2: Further assessment next week and then an update after that.

818
00:40:39,187 --> 00:40:41,147
Speaker 2: So the Hurricanes haven't even played their first game yet

819
00:40:41,147 --> 00:40:42,787
Speaker 2: and they won't play this weekend. They've got the buy,

820
00:40:43,507 --> 00:40:46,667
Speaker 2: but hopefully it's not going to be a long term

821
00:40:46,667 --> 00:40:48,827
Speaker 2: injury for Reuben Love, who was set to be a

822

895
00:44:31,867 --> 00:44:34,747

896
00:44:34,787 --> 00:44:35,827
Speaker 2: that every day of the week.

897
00:44:36,067 --> 00:44:37,987

905
00:44:54,867 --> 00:44:57,587
Speaker 2: to go, did you always feel as though the chance

906
00:44:57,667 --> 00:44:59,987
Speaker 2: to win the game in the fashion that you did

907
00:45:00,187 --> 00:45:01,947
Speaker 2: would arrive? Did you feel like you had you know

908
00:45:02,227 --> 00:45:03,387
Speaker 2: that the chance would come.

909
00:45:04,307 --> 00:45:07,187

Speaker 15: we we we had a plan, we executed it, you know,

913
00:45:19,427 --> 00:45:21,667
Speaker 15: as us as coaches, it's just great to see the

914
00:45:21,707 --> 00:45:23,827
Speaker 15: players believing in themselves.

915
00:45:23,867 --> 00:45:26,347
Speaker 11: They've done it all week and they.

916
00:45:26,307 --> 00:45:30,427

922
00:45:42,027 --> 00:45:44,347
Speaker 2: you're clearly you're clearly not. I was going to say

923
00:45:44,347 --> 00:45:46,947
Speaker 2: the lucky charm, not the lucky charm, the missing peace

924
00:45:46,987 --> 00:45:49,787
Speaker 2: that the Highlanders have been craving all this time and

925
00:45:49,947 --> 00:45:53,027
Speaker 2: finally turned up. I mean, your specialty obviously is defense.

926
00:45:53,827 --> 00:45:56,627
Speaker 2: I see eighty seven percent tackle completion last night. Is

927
00:45:56,667 --> 00:45:59,227

Speaker 15: group and we've gotten them being very patient with me,

932
00:46:10,107 --> 00:46:13,787
Speaker 15: you know, coming into the system. You know, I've tried

933
00:46:13,827 --> 00:46:16,747
Speaker 15: to put some some new ideas to the groups and

934
00:46:16,947 --> 00:46:20,547
Speaker 15: obviously to the defense, and you know, Tea every one's credit,

935
00:46:20,667 --> 00:46:23,667
Speaker 15: you know, from the staff to the to the players.

936
00:46:23,227 --> 00:46:25,907
Speaker 11: That they've really taken on board and brought in.

937
00:46:26,987 --> 00:46:30,027
Speaker 2: Is there anything in the Super Rugby Rule Twigs that

938
00:46:30,067 --> 00:46:33,147
Speaker 2: you've paid particular attention to as you're prepared for the season.

939
00:46:34,467 --> 00:46:38,747
Speaker 15: Uh, yeahs couick taps in the free cips, something like that.

940
00:46:38,987 --> 00:46:42,067
Speaker 15: You know, obviously they've tried to speed up the game,

941
00:46:42,187 --> 00:46:45,827
Speaker 15: and that's you know, when Will Jordans did that click

942
00:46:46,107 --> 00:46:49,227
Speaker 15: click tap and and you know run almost eighty meters,

943
00:46:49,267 --> 00:46:51,027
Speaker 15: that was something that we have to look at.

944
00:46:51,467 --> 00:46:54,907
Speaker 11: But you know, like the playlight has calibert you know, it's.

945
00:46:54,747 --> 00:46:58,147
Speaker 15: Always dangerous, but you know, the click taps are something

946
00:46:58,187 --> 00:47:00,347
Speaker 15: that we've definitely looked into.

947
00:47:00,867 --> 00:47:03,147
Speaker 2: How have you managed them? Morale in the group with

948
00:47:03,307 --> 00:47:06,267
Speaker 2: the season inging injury first of all to Dylan Pledger,

949
00:47:06,627 --> 00:47:08,627
Speaker 2: who was going to be a rookie and super rugby

950
00:47:08,627 --> 00:47:10,667
Speaker 2: but there was a lot of excitement around about him.

951
00:47:10,827 --> 00:47:14,067
Speaker 2: But then Fabian Holland one of your big big players

952
00:47:14,067 --> 00:47:17,867
Speaker 2: literally and and you know, and and physically, how have

953
00:47:17,947 --> 00:47:20,307
Speaker 2: you managed the morale in the group losing those guys?

954
00:47:21,427 --> 00:47:24,867
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, for those guys, those type of interest,

955
00:47:24,947 --> 00:47:26,627
Speaker 15: it's it's not good for anyone.

956
00:47:26,747 --> 00:47:28,307
Speaker 11: You know, we don't want that on anyone.

957
00:47:28,347 --> 00:47:31,627
Speaker 14: And you know, definitely Fabian, you know last week against

958
00:47:31,827 --> 00:47:34,067
Speaker 14: Whine of Effect, it was a big blow to us,

959
00:47:34,107 --> 00:47:36,347
Speaker 14: but you know, we just sort of had that sort

960
00:47:36,347 --> 00:47:39,467
Speaker 14: of next guy opposite of mentality with sort of Jamies

961
00:47:39,627 --> 00:47:41,467
Speaker 14: made sure that we're sort of moved on quickly.

962
00:47:41,547 --> 00:47:44,467
Speaker 11: You know, we can't be dwelling on those types of things.

963
00:47:44,467 --> 00:47:47,387
Speaker 11: And you know, Fabian's a total.

964
00:47:47,107 --> 00:47:49,907
Speaker 15: Professional and he's been around the group which has been amazing.

965
00:47:49,987 --> 00:47:51,867
Speaker 15: You know, he's had his arm in the sling and

966
00:47:51,867 --> 00:47:55,667
Speaker 15: he's he's asking me questions, asking helping out all the coaches,

967
00:47:55,747 --> 00:47:58,987
Speaker 15: helping out that the line out with the with the guys,

968
00:47:59,027 --> 00:48:02,067
Speaker 15: and that's just shows you what kind of team got

969
00:48:02,107 --> 00:48:03,747
Speaker 15: down here and you know, we do it the Highland

970
00:48:03,787 --> 00:48:06,507
Speaker 15: the way, the Highland the man and it helps out

971
00:48:06,547 --> 00:48:08,147
Speaker 15: and doesn't matter what situation you're in.

972
00:48:08,907 --> 00:48:10,747
Speaker 2: Good crowd there last night. I know it's O week,

973
00:48:10,827 --> 00:48:13,427
Speaker 2: but a good loud crowd down there last night.

974
00:48:14,107 --> 00:48:14,347
Speaker 16: Yeah.

975
00:48:14,627 --> 00:48:16,547
Speaker 15: I want to see more. I want to see more, mate,

976
00:48:16,547 --> 00:48:20,147
Speaker 15: I want to see the House of Pain comeback. That's

977
00:48:20,187 --> 00:48:23,947
Speaker 15: what I remember. So, you know, obviously the more support

978
00:48:23,987 --> 00:48:25,627
Speaker 15: we get down here, the better for it. And I

979
00:48:25,667 --> 00:48:29,347
Speaker 15: know the boys are really appreciate the crowd and how

980
00:48:29,387 --> 00:48:30,307
Speaker 15: they get behind us.

981
00:48:31,107 --> 00:48:33,987
Speaker 2: There's no getting away from the elephant in the Highlanders room,

982
00:48:34,067 --> 00:48:35,907
Speaker 2: the coaching room, that is Jamie Joseph is in the

983
00:48:35,947 --> 00:48:38,347
Speaker 2: mix for the all Blacks job. How has that been

984
00:48:38,427 --> 00:48:39,627
Speaker 2: handled internally?

985
00:48:41,107 --> 00:48:41,187
Speaker 11: Oh?

986
00:48:41,347 --> 00:48:42,907
Speaker 12: Look, you know.

987
00:48:42,947 --> 00:48:44,667
Speaker 11: That that is what it is.

988
00:48:44,787 --> 00:48:47,947
Speaker 15: And we just worried about what's happening with us and

989
00:48:47,987 --> 00:48:50,307
Speaker 15: behind us, and we go a week by week and

990
00:48:50,507 --> 00:48:52,467
Speaker 15: it's on a whole cliche. You know, We've got the

991
00:48:52,547 --> 00:48:55,627
Speaker 15: Chiefs next week and we'll be looking forward to that game.

992
00:48:55,747 --> 00:48:57,987
Speaker 11: So what will be all be? Mate?

993
00:48:58,387 --> 00:49:01,507
Speaker 2: And so I mean I spoke to Clark Diermody last

994
00:49:01,507 --> 00:49:03,827
Speaker 2: week and he said, Jamie's got a great poker face.

995
00:49:03,867 --> 00:49:05,747
Speaker 2: You know, you just you just think he was just

996
00:49:05,747 --> 00:49:08,107
Speaker 2: the highlight? Does that? Is that what you're seeing as well?

997
00:49:08,827 --> 00:49:11,507
Speaker 11: That's what we're seeing to mate. You know, it's got

998
00:49:11,507 --> 00:49:12,427
Speaker 11: a great poker face.

999
00:49:12,507 --> 00:49:16,427
Speaker 15: But you know what we can control is what we

1000
00:49:16,507 --> 00:49:18,707
Speaker 15: do when we put out the team for the Highlanders

1001
00:49:18,707 --> 00:49:22,627
Speaker 15: and we coach the boys and you know, people have

1002
00:49:22,867 --> 00:49:25,747
Speaker 15: my mate will make those decisions at the end of

1003
00:49:25,787 --> 00:49:29,267
Speaker 15: the day. I'm sure whoever it is the All Blacks

1004
00:49:29,307 --> 00:49:32,027
Speaker 15: coach is we're doing a great job, you know, and

1005
00:49:33,267 --> 00:49:34,707
Speaker 15: good luck to whoever that is.

1006
00:49:35,187 --> 00:49:37,587
Speaker 2: All right, Blues chiefs tonight, got a prediction for us.

1007
00:49:39,267 --> 00:49:42,707
Speaker 11: I'm going to Blues. Yeah, yeah, be a good game.

1008
00:49:42,707 --> 00:49:45,347
Speaker 15: It would be a good game, both teams and both physically,

1009
00:49:47,387 --> 00:49:49,107
Speaker 15: real physical in the in the front.

1010
00:49:49,267 --> 00:49:50,707
Speaker 11: So a good game.

1011
00:49:50,747 --> 00:49:53,787
Speaker 2: But yeah, all right, looking forward to seeing how that

1012
00:49:53,787 --> 00:49:55,987

00:50:03,387 --> 00:50:06,547
Speaker 2: I don't believe it. I don't believe it.

Speaker 11: It's great, So I'm I'm out and about and enjoin it.

Speaker 2: Good man, No, go tovy on David thinks indeed, David Cauldwell,

1020
00:50:13,587 --> 00:50:17,147
Speaker 2: they're assistant coach of the Highlanders TEX three.

1021
00:50:17,147 --> 00:50:17,267
Speaker 5: Here.

1022
00:50:17,267 --> 00:50:19,427
Speaker 2: You can literally hear the smile on his face, of

1023
00:50:19,467 --> 00:50:22,507
Speaker 2: course you can. You know, you beat the Crusaders against

1024
00:50:22,507 --> 00:50:26,547
Speaker 2: all expectation. Of course you're smiling. Highlanders fans. Let's be

1025
00:50:26,667 --> 00:50:30,227
Speaker 2: hearing from you. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty. Crusaders fans.

1026
00:50:30,947 --> 00:50:33,427
Speaker 2: I can take your calls as well, if you would

1027
00:50:33,467 --> 00:50:36,107
Speaker 2: like to tell us what you think happened there last night,

1028
00:50:36,627 --> 00:50:39,907
Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty ten eighty. It was a surprise to

1029
00:50:39,947 --> 00:50:41,667
Speaker 2: most people. I think if you didn't watch the game

1030
00:50:42,427 --> 00:50:45,507
Speaker 2: and check the score later, you would be you'd be

1031
00:50:45,587 --> 00:50:48,467
Speaker 2: very surprised that the Highlanders got up to beat the Crusaders.

1032
00:50:48,507 --> 00:50:51,387
Speaker 2: This is a Crusaders side that is so stacked that

1033
00:50:51,427 --> 00:50:53,507
Speaker 2: they can afford to bring the likes of Will Jordan,

1034
00:50:53,667 --> 00:50:57,187
Speaker 2: Cody Taylor, Fletcher Yule, George Bauer off the bench if

1035
00:50:57,187 --> 00:50:58,907
Speaker 2: they want to. That's what they did last night. And

1036
00:50:58,947 --> 00:51:01,947
Speaker 2: I know they're easing these all blacks back into Super rugby.

1037
00:51:01,987 --> 00:51:03,627
Speaker 2: A lot of the teams are doing that there. There

1038
00:51:03,667 --> 00:51:06,027
Speaker 2: are a number of frontline All Blacks players who are

1039
00:51:06,027 --> 00:51:08,867
Speaker 2: either coming off benches or not even playing this weekend.

1040
00:51:08,907 --> 00:51:11,027
Speaker 2: I don't think Wallace a Titi's playing for the for

1041
00:51:11,067 --> 00:51:15,507
Speaker 2: the Chiefs tonight, just as one example. But if you beat,

1042
00:51:16,747 --> 00:51:20,227
Speaker 2: if you beat the defending champions, you're happy, aren't you?

1043
00:51:21,227 --> 00:51:23,587
Speaker 2: Of course you are. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.

1044
00:51:23,667 --> 00:51:26,027
Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. It can come from a highlander's

1045
00:51:26,067 --> 00:51:28,787
Speaker 2: point of view, it can come from a crusader's point

1046
00:51:28,787 --> 00:51:31,347
Speaker 2: of view, or it might even be just as valuable

1047
00:51:31,507 --> 00:51:33,627
Speaker 2: to take it from a neutral point of view. If

1048
00:51:33,667 --> 00:51:35,667
Speaker 2: you watched it and didn't have any skin in the game,

1049
00:51:35,747 --> 00:51:37,347
Speaker 2: like I didn't, what did you think of it? I

1050
00:51:37,347 --> 00:51:40,147
Speaker 2: thought the holand deserved to win the game, absolutely deserve

1051
00:51:40,187 --> 00:51:42,347
Speaker 2: to win the game. They were out of the gates early.

1052
00:51:42,427 --> 00:51:44,787
Speaker 2: I really liked the look of Caleb Tungatowel. I think

1053
00:51:44,827 --> 00:51:48,627
Speaker 2: that guy's an all black and waiting, isn't he. Timothy

1054
00:51:48,707 --> 00:51:51,227
Speaker 2: Tavatava Nahwei, I think man of the match for me.

1055
00:51:51,747 --> 00:51:53,987
Speaker 2: He was the man I think who sparked it all

1056
00:51:54,547 --> 00:51:57,627
Speaker 2: and you know, very robust in midfield, both with ball

1057
00:51:57,707 --> 00:52:01,907
Speaker 2: in hand and also on defense. And cam Miller at

1058
00:52:01,907 --> 00:52:06,267
Speaker 2: the end standing up and saying I'll boot this. He owned.

1059
00:52:06,387 --> 00:52:08,067
Speaker 2: He takes a couple of steps, doesn't he? That was

1060
00:52:08,107 --> 00:52:10,427
Speaker 2: the other thing about cam Miller last night, and it

1061
00:52:10,467 --> 00:52:13,947
Speaker 2: has been his kicking style for quite some time, is he?

1062
00:52:13,947 --> 00:52:14,467
Speaker 2: He doesn't?

1063
00:52:14,507 --> 00:52:14,667
Speaker 13: You know?

1064
00:52:14,827 --> 00:52:17,107
Speaker 2: What was he? He was basically on half way. You'd

1065
00:52:17,147 --> 00:52:19,787
Speaker 2: take a run up, wouldn't You might be taking a

1066
00:52:19,867 --> 00:52:22,147
Speaker 2: run up, but just a couple of steps and bangs.

1067
00:52:22,147 --> 00:52:25,467
Speaker 2: It over terrific from cam Miller. So anything you want

1068
00:52:25,467 --> 00:52:27,707

1103
00:54:15,987 --> 00:54:18,387
Speaker 17: Yeah, no, that would be good. It's actually it's funny

1104
00:54:18,387 --> 00:54:19,867
Speaker 17: because I'll be up there next weekend.

1105
00:54:19,947 --> 00:54:20,547
Speaker 13: I'm going to.

1106
00:54:22,067 --> 00:54:23,587
Speaker 17: I don't know if you've ever heard of this group.

1107
00:54:23,627 --> 00:54:26,107
Speaker 17: They're an Irish group called Hothouse Flowers. A concert up

1108
00:54:26,147 --> 00:54:26,827
Speaker 17: there with me, mate.

1109
00:54:26,827 --> 00:54:29,027
Speaker 2: I also i've heard of the Hothouse Flowers. Don't Go,

1110
00:54:29,547 --> 00:54:31,747
Speaker 2: Don't Go was their big hips and all. Maybe maybe

1111
00:54:31,747 --> 00:54:33,907
Speaker 2: that was there, Maybe that's their mainstream. They probably got

1112
00:54:33,907 --> 00:54:36,267
Speaker 2: a lot of other songs. I doubt it's just that

1113
00:54:36,347 --> 00:54:37,267
Speaker 2: song at the concert.

1114
00:54:37,907 --> 00:54:38,707
Speaker 7: No, they've got to know.

1115
00:54:38,907 --> 00:54:39,947
Speaker 17: No, they'll have a couple more.

1116
00:54:39,947 --> 00:54:40,787
Speaker 7: They got some crackers.

1117
00:54:40,787 --> 00:54:43,147
Speaker 17: But yeah, but you're right that that was one of

1118
00:54:43,187 --> 00:54:46,627
Speaker 17: the sort of breakthrough ones year that people would know.

1119
00:54:46,947 --> 00:54:47,227
Speaker 6: I saw.

1120
00:54:47,467 --> 00:54:49,027
Speaker 17: You can still hear on the radio I think at

1121
00:54:49,067 --> 00:54:51,347
Speaker 17: times now. But yeah, so it's a shame the hear

1122
00:54:51,507 --> 00:54:52,867
Speaker 17: I'm quit have been able to say, you get eighty

1123
00:54:52,907 --> 00:54:53,227
Speaker 17: of pop.

1124
00:54:54,387 --> 00:54:57,227
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a shame. The dates didn't the line anyway.

1125
00:54:57,227 --> 00:54:59,027
Speaker 2: At least you were able to watch your Rugby last night,

1126
00:54:59,147 --> 00:55:00,427
Speaker 2: presumably what did you make.

1127
00:55:00,347 --> 00:55:03,667
Speaker 17: Of it, oh cracker, I thought, oh, great game to

1128
00:55:03,747 --> 00:55:06,987
Speaker 17: start off the season. A and yeah, good point about

1129
00:55:07,067 --> 00:55:09,867
Speaker 17: that text that just came in about black black headed.

1130
00:55:09,907 --> 00:55:12,307
Speaker 17: He had a great game. So I wouldn't be surprised

1131
00:55:12,307 --> 00:55:14,747
Speaker 17: if he gets back in the All Blacks, because because

1132
00:55:14,747 --> 00:55:16,427
Speaker 17: I wondered what happened to him, whether he's been out

1133
00:55:16,467 --> 00:55:18,227
Speaker 17: with injury, because he sort of just disappeared off the

1134
00:55:18,307 --> 00:55:19,747
Speaker 17: radar they for a while.

1135
00:55:20,187 --> 00:55:21,907
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he just I think he just picks up.

1136
00:55:21,987 --> 00:55:24,427
Speaker 2: He just has a habit of picking up niggli injuries

1137
00:55:24,587 --> 00:55:27,227
Speaker 2: and because he throws his body into contact so much,

1138
00:55:27,947 --> 00:55:30,907
Speaker 2: you can probably understand why that is. But if he can,

1139
00:55:31,427 --> 00:55:33,427
Speaker 2: if he can get a run of games under his belties,

1140
00:55:33,627 --> 00:55:35,747
Speaker 2: he's definitely All Black's quality. There's no question.

1141
00:55:36,667 --> 00:55:39,987
Speaker 17: I absolutely, absolutely, yeah, completely agree with you, And like

1142
00:55:40,107 --> 00:55:43,347
Speaker 17: you say, just unfortunately just picks up the injury. But

1143
00:55:43,427 --> 00:55:45,467
Speaker 17: like you say, it's probably because he puts himself in

1144
00:55:45,507 --> 00:55:48,987
Speaker 17: those positions and goes in so hard, you know. But yeah, no,

1145
00:55:49,147 --> 00:55:54,307
Speaker 17: I thought I was backing. I was backing the Crusaders

1146
00:55:54,347 --> 00:55:57,187
Speaker 17: to win, so I was a little bit surprised when

1147
00:55:57,227 --> 00:56:00,027
Speaker 17: they lost the Highlanders. But actually, because I come from Gore,

1148
00:56:00,107 --> 00:56:02,907
Speaker 17: you know, down south here, I always I never mind

1149
00:56:02,947 --> 00:56:05,227
Speaker 17: when the Highlanders, actually when I kind of feel a

1150
00:56:05,227 --> 00:56:08,867
Speaker 17: little bit of satisfaction for them, even though I lived

1151
00:56:09,387 --> 00:56:11,747
Speaker 17: here in Canterbury for the last thirty odd years.

1152
00:56:12,547 --> 00:56:14,987
Speaker 2: But it's okay to have a foot in both camps. Fill.

1153
00:56:15,227 --> 00:56:17,787
Speaker 2: That is absolutely fine. You know the place where you

1154
00:56:17,787 --> 00:56:19,387
Speaker 2: you know, where you perhaps you grew up and had

1155
00:56:19,427 --> 00:56:21,627
Speaker 2: your younger years, and the place where you've lived for

1156
00:56:21,907 --> 00:56:24,867
Speaker 2: as you say, thirty years. I mean, it's quite okay

1157
00:56:24,867 --> 00:56:26,227
Speaker 2: to watch it with you know, with a foot in

1158
00:56:26,227 --> 00:56:27,067
Speaker 2: both camps.

1159
00:56:27,427 --> 00:56:27,707
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1160
00:56:27,827 --> 00:56:30,587
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's a wide straddle. It's a bit like my

1161
00:56:30,627 --> 00:56:33,547
Speaker 17: heritage with my grandfather coming from Northern Ireland and my

1162
00:56:33,587 --> 00:56:36,507
Speaker 17: grandmother from Scotland, but me being born in New Zealand,

1163
00:56:36,507 --> 00:56:38,827
Speaker 17: the island of Plan I can go, oh, well if

1164
00:56:38,907 --> 00:56:41,747
Speaker 17: they If the Irish win, that's great. If the All

1165
00:56:41,747 --> 00:56:43,667
Speaker 17: Blacks win, and oh that's great too, So I can

1166
00:56:43,707 --> 00:56:47,227
Speaker 17: go on both claim both sides. But I thought that

1167
00:56:47,907 --> 00:56:50,147
Speaker 17: one thing that I noticed straight away and I think

1168
00:56:50,227 --> 00:56:52,867
Speaker 17: is going to be really good for the game and

1169
00:56:53,587 --> 00:56:55,427
Speaker 17: keeping the pace of speed it up, is that new

1170
00:56:55,507 --> 00:56:57,987
Speaker 17: rule with the quick tap, you know, when the Islanders.

1171
00:56:58,267 --> 00:57:00,987
Speaker 17: When the Highlanders first done it, and the guy took

1172
00:57:01,027 --> 00:57:03,507
Speaker 17: off and that's great, not mucking around, take the quick

1173
00:57:03,547 --> 00:57:05,667
Speaker 17: tap band, we're off. The game's on again. And then

1174
00:57:05,987 --> 00:57:09,067
Speaker 17: when he wouldn't done it as well and almost almost

1175
00:57:09,067 --> 00:57:11,467
Speaker 17: got to the bloody trail on it, I thought, that's great. This,

1176
00:57:11,467 --> 00:57:13,547
Speaker 17: this is a great new rule. So that's what I

1177
00:57:13,587 --> 00:57:18,147
Speaker 17: noticed straight away when that first happened. And the other guy,

1178
00:57:18,347 --> 00:57:20,987
Speaker 17: I can't I can't say his name, but he's got

1179
00:57:20,987 --> 00:57:24,307
Speaker 17: a big, long name who playing for the Highlanders, and

1180
00:57:24,347 --> 00:57:26,707
Speaker 17: he got a few turnovers, he's right over the ball.

1181
00:57:29,707 --> 00:57:31,667
Speaker 2: Well, there's there's actually there's a couple in that team

1182
00:57:31,667 --> 00:57:34,147
Speaker 2: that have have quite long names, and you need to

1183
00:57:34,187 --> 00:57:37,267
Speaker 2: have a couple of cracks with this. Tamathi Tava Taaawa

1184
00:57:37,547 --> 00:57:38,027
Speaker 2: is one of them.

1185
00:57:38,747 --> 00:57:39,307
Speaker 5: That's him.

1186
00:57:39,507 --> 00:57:43,667
Speaker 2: That's okay, okay, yeah.

1187
00:57:42,467 --> 00:57:43,467
Speaker 17: Oh sorry, go ahead pointing.

1188
00:57:43,627 --> 00:57:46,947
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no, continue to make your point mate.

1189
00:57:47,067 --> 00:57:49,507
Speaker 17: Yeah he was I thought he was great. You know,

1190
00:57:49,587 --> 00:57:52,107
Speaker 17: he got a couple of really good turnovers there, you know,

1191
00:57:52,187 --> 00:57:55,867
Speaker 17: And like they said the commentators, he's so hard to

1192
00:57:55,907 --> 00:57:57,947
Speaker 17: get off the ball when he gets in position and

1193
00:57:57,987 --> 00:57:59,987
Speaker 17: he gets down low, you know, he's down low on

1194
00:58:00,027 --> 00:58:01,907
Speaker 17: it and he's so strong and yeah, that was one

1195
00:58:01,947 --> 00:58:05,307
Speaker 17: of the things that I noticed, thinking, well, he was fantastic,

1196
00:58:05,387 --> 00:58:09,187
Speaker 17: but yeah, that was about it. Point. I just thought

1197
00:58:09,227 --> 00:58:11,627
Speaker 17: that that new tap kick rule was great and seeing

1198
00:58:11,667 --> 00:58:14,747
Speaker 17: it integrated last night for the first time, I thought, yeah,

1199
00:58:14,747 --> 00:58:17,107
Speaker 17: this is a winner. And like I say that Tawa

1200
00:58:17,187 --> 00:58:19,787
Speaker 17: and nay see, I just points.

1201
00:58:23,067 --> 00:58:25,627
Speaker 2: Mate, No, it's it's it's Tamathi Tavata. And why the

1202
00:58:25,627 --> 00:58:27,787
Speaker 2: other guy in that team who the commentators have to

1203
00:58:27,827 --> 00:58:31,907
Speaker 2: regularly get there there are their tonsils around is Jacob

1204
00:58:32,067 --> 00:58:35,987
Speaker 2: Rutt to Mike Tavuki Nipkins. So if there's a backline

1205
00:58:36,027 --> 00:58:38,987
Speaker 2: move involving the two of them, by the time you've

1206
00:58:39,027 --> 00:58:41,267
Speaker 2: got it out as a commentator, I thought Jeff mctanine

1207
00:58:41,347 --> 00:58:43,147
Speaker 2: did an amazing job on Sky last night, and Paul

1208
00:58:43,187 --> 00:58:45,747
Speaker 2: Ellison on gold Sport as well. You know, by the

1209
00:58:45,787 --> 00:58:48,587
Speaker 2: time you get their names out, they've scored the try

1210
00:58:48,587 --> 00:58:50,707
Speaker 2: and back it halfway. But no, it's it's a great

1211
00:58:50,707 --> 00:58:54,427
Speaker 2: start to the Highlanders, a really, really good, good solid

1212
00:58:54,467 --> 00:58:56,587
Speaker 2: start for them. They started well last year. You might

1213
00:58:56,587 --> 00:58:59,587
Speaker 2: remember this, they won two of their first three games,

1214
00:58:59,587 --> 00:59:01,947
Speaker 2: but then it all sort of fell off after that.

1215
00:59:02,107 --> 00:59:05,347
Speaker 2: So that's clearly something that they want to address. This

1216
00:59:05,467 --> 00:59:09,067
Speaker 2: time around one twenty seven, Steve, and I was hoping

1217
00:59:09,107 --> 00:59:10,587
Speaker 2: you'd call. How are you feeling today?

1218
00:59:11,347 --> 00:59:13,107
Speaker 6: Yeah, good afternoon, Piney.

1219
00:59:13,187 --> 00:59:13,827
Speaker 2: How things.

1220
00:59:13,867 --> 00:59:16,467
Speaker 6: I'm really delighted that my boys gone on the way

1221
00:59:16,507 --> 00:59:18,347
Speaker 6: with a win last night. I'm not going to be

1222
00:59:18,387 --> 00:59:20,187
Speaker 6: low and I'm not going to echo the Warriors fans.

1223
00:59:20,227 --> 00:59:21,987
Speaker 6: It's going to be our year. I'm just going to

1224
00:59:22,067 --> 00:59:24,587
Speaker 6: take one game of type and the Winds will win

1225
00:59:24,827 --> 00:59:27,747
Speaker 6: and we'll just come play next week when we play

1226
00:59:27,787 --> 00:59:30,107
Speaker 6: the Chiefs under the week once again next week on

1227
00:59:30,227 --> 00:59:30,907
Speaker 6: Saturday night.

1228
00:59:30,947 --> 00:59:32,547
Speaker 5: I'm looking for today game as well.

1229
00:59:32,867 --> 00:59:34,387
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Steve. You don't have to talk so fast,

1230
00:59:34,427 --> 00:59:36,267
Speaker 2: but I'm not going to cut you off. Stay with me,

1231
00:59:36,467 --> 00:59:38,867
Speaker 2: Stay with me, Stay with me. Were you're there last night?

1232
00:59:40,107 --> 00:59:43,747
Speaker 6: Unfortunately I call him because m I couldn't get a

1233
00:59:43,787 --> 00:59:44,867
Speaker 6: ticket because there.

1234
00:59:45,507 --> 00:59:47,747
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I mean I know you support of either

1235
00:59:47,867 --> 00:59:50,667
Speaker 2: at ground or watching on television. What I just said

1236
00:59:50,707 --> 00:59:53,627
Speaker 2: before was you'll remember this. Your team won two of

1237
00:59:53,667 --> 00:59:55,787
Speaker 2: their first three last season, and then it all just

1238
00:59:55,867 --> 00:59:58,747
Speaker 2: kind of turned to custard. Is there is there a greater,

1239
00:59:58,947 --> 01:00:01,347
Speaker 2: you know, greater resilience about your team this year.

1240
01:00:01,387 --> 01:00:05,347
Speaker 6: Do you think, well, just a big hype about who's

1241
01:00:05,347 --> 01:00:06,987
Speaker 6: going to be the All Black co He might have

1242
01:00:07,027 --> 01:00:09,947
Speaker 6: had something to do it, because I heard time, I

1243
01:00:10,027 --> 01:00:12,267
Speaker 6: heard on the day yesterday that they could have made

1244
01:00:12,307 --> 01:00:15,027
Speaker 6: a big announcement before the game even started, that they

1245
01:00:15,067 --> 01:00:16,387
Speaker 6: could have named the All Black coach.

1246
01:00:16,467 --> 01:00:17,587
Speaker 18: But it didn't happen.

1247
01:00:17,827 --> 01:00:18,547
Speaker 12: But I'm just.

1248
01:00:18,547 --> 01:00:22,147
Speaker 6: Thinking that, really, I think that was the game last night,

1249
01:00:22,187 --> 01:00:24,427
Speaker 6: really had it all and everything. It was a true

1250
01:00:24,627 --> 01:00:27,947
Speaker 6: Sarven derby battle between both teams, and you should have

1251
01:00:27,987 --> 01:00:30,027
Speaker 6: seen that that came out of the game too, so

1252
01:00:30,147 --> 01:00:33,867
Speaker 6: many scars and everything, and especially from day Path fairly

1253
01:00:34,067 --> 01:00:35,347
Speaker 6: whether he had to go off.

1254
01:00:35,267 --> 01:00:35,907
Speaker 12: During the game.

1255
01:00:36,547 --> 01:00:39,947
Speaker 2: One more question for you, Stephen, would you prefer Jamie

1256
01:00:40,027 --> 01:00:42,627
Speaker 2: Joseph didn't get the job, the All Black's job, so

1257
01:00:42,667 --> 01:00:45,507
Speaker 2: that he could continue to be your coach or would

1258
01:00:45,547 --> 01:00:48,227
Speaker 2: you prefer that he became the coach because he's a

1259
01:00:48,267 --> 01:00:49,107
Speaker 2: Highlanders man.

1260
01:00:51,987 --> 01:00:54,667
Speaker 6: Well, that is putting me on the spot there, Piney,

1261
01:00:54,787 --> 01:00:58,427
Speaker 6: But I'm just thinking that if he gets the job,

1262
01:00:58,587 --> 01:01:00,387
Speaker 6: I think some of our players need to step up.

1263
01:01:00,427 --> 01:01:02,227
Speaker 6: And if he does get a job, I think I

1264
01:01:02,267 --> 01:01:03,987
Speaker 6: knew I know who could be the next time.

1265
01:01:03,867 --> 01:01:04,387
Speaker 14: As his coach.

1266
01:01:04,427 --> 01:01:07,347
Speaker 2: Could be who wow.

1267
01:01:08,027 --> 01:01:12,627
Speaker 6: He's in Dneda now and we'll Jamie jokes against job

1268
01:01:12,747 --> 01:01:15,547
Speaker 6: for though all blessed good luck to him anyway. But

1269
01:01:15,587 --> 01:01:17,227
Speaker 6: he could be a new name could be in the

1270
01:01:17,267 --> 01:01:19,267
Speaker 6: heighen of the coat and they could be Corey Brown.

1271
01:01:20,107 --> 01:01:23,587
Speaker 2: Okay, interesting, interesting, Steve. And you've always got the down low, mate,

1272
01:01:23,587 --> 01:01:25,867
Speaker 2: You've always got the inside information. So I'm going to

1273
01:01:25,907 --> 01:01:30,027
Speaker 2: write that down Corey Brown. Thanks, Steven. Awesome to hear

1274
01:01:30,027 --> 01:01:32,427
Speaker 2: from you, and always love chatting to you the day

1275
01:01:32,467 --> 01:01:35,267
Speaker 2: after a Highlander's win. It hasn't been that regular in

1276
01:01:35,307 --> 01:01:38,067
Speaker 2: the last little while, mate, so hopefully we chat a

1277
01:01:38,067 --> 01:01:41,827
Speaker 2: lot more times this year. One thirty here at News Talks,

1278
01:01:41,867 --> 01:01:43,507
Speaker 2: he'd b o eight hundred and eighty ten eight. You

1279
01:01:43,507 --> 01:01:45,227
Speaker 2: are going to continue to talk rugby. I do want

1280
01:01:45,227 --> 01:01:49,507
Speaker 2: to get a Crusaders' perspective from this Phil. As we

1281
01:01:49,747 --> 01:01:51,227
Speaker 2: spoke to before, kind I had a foot in both

1282
01:01:51,227 --> 01:01:54,107
Speaker 2: camps Crusaders fans. I think there was, you know, as

1283
01:01:54,147 --> 01:01:59,347
Speaker 2: per usual, a high degree of confidence around the Crusaders

1284
01:01:59,387 --> 01:02:04,067
Speaker 2: fan base heading into the season. Defending champions Henry lost

1285
01:02:04,067 --> 01:02:07,387
Speaker 2: too many players. Who did you lose? James O'Connor is

1286
01:02:07,427 --> 01:02:11,067
Speaker 2: no longer there Scott Barrett obviously is taking an extended

1287
01:02:11,107 --> 01:02:13,347
Speaker 2: break at the start of the season, so he's not there.

1288
01:02:13,707 --> 01:02:18,187
Speaker 2: But it's still a very, very handy roster probably, I

1289
01:02:18,227 --> 01:02:22,427
Speaker 2: would say the second deepest after the Chiefs. If you

1290
01:02:22,507 --> 01:02:25,747
Speaker 2: look at the Chiefs, you know the players the Chiefs

1291
01:02:25,747 --> 01:02:27,627
Speaker 2: can leave out, and that's probably a good way of

1292
01:02:27,627 --> 01:02:29,627
Speaker 2: looking at it sometimes, as if you look at the

1293
01:02:29,627 --> 01:02:33,227
Speaker 2: players who a team can afford to leave out and

1294
01:02:33,307 --> 01:02:36,067
Speaker 2: yet still put a very strong fifteen and a very

1295
01:02:36,067 --> 01:02:37,667
Speaker 2: strong twenty three out there. You look at the Chiefs

1296
01:02:37,707 --> 01:02:40,427
Speaker 2: and the guys who aren't playing tonight, will that be

1297
01:02:40,707 --> 01:02:44,187
Speaker 2: at their peril? Not too sure. Seven o'clock tonight, Blues

1298
01:02:44,267 --> 01:02:48,627
Speaker 2: Chiefs Eden Park Full commentary on Gold Sport and iHeartRadio.

1299
01:02:49,387 --> 01:02:51,387
Speaker 2: We'll take some more calls though, on eight hundred and

1300
01:02:51,427 --> 01:02:54,867
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty. How good is Anger's gardener, says Nigel

1301
01:02:55,067 --> 01:02:58,987
Speaker 2: best referee in the world and adjudicated the new laws

1302
01:02:59,187 --> 01:03:01,147
Speaker 2: very well, you thought, I mean Angus Garden is also

1303
01:03:01,267 --> 01:03:04,347
Speaker 2: always so clear with his communication, isn't he. You know,

1304
01:03:04,907 --> 01:03:06,547
Speaker 2: you obviously pick it up on the reef smile and

1305
01:03:06,587 --> 01:03:09,547
Speaker 2: he just makes very clear, concise calls. But I've been

1306
01:03:09,587 --> 01:03:14,867
Speaker 2: o'keefan that way. They speak in very basic terms to

1307
01:03:14,907 --> 01:03:17,547
Speaker 2: the players without complicating things. They don't talk too much,

1308
01:03:17,907 --> 01:03:20,987
Speaker 2: but they just let them know, you know what the

1309
01:03:21,027 --> 01:03:24,827
Speaker 2: situation is. And I think the communication skills of the

1310
01:03:24,867 --> 01:03:27,627
Speaker 2: top referees is one of the things that sets them apart.

1311
01:03:29,307 --> 01:03:33,027
Speaker 2: Piney one swallow does not make a summer, says Paul.

1312
01:03:33,987 --> 01:03:38,147
Speaker 2: But the rebirth of Otago Southland Highland as rugby has

1313
01:03:38,227 --> 01:03:42,827
Speaker 2: been inspiring. There's something promising going on down south. Maybe

1314
01:03:42,867 --> 01:03:46,787
Speaker 2: not the most recognized names, but very well coached. There

1315
01:03:46,787 --> 01:03:49,427
Speaker 2: seems to be cohesion going on with the NPC and

1316
01:03:49,507 --> 01:03:52,507
Speaker 2: Super rugby sides. But let's not get ahead of ourselves

1317
01:03:53,227 --> 01:03:55,667
Speaker 2: as for speeding up the game, it's getting further and

1318
01:03:55,747 --> 01:03:59,587
Speaker 2: further away from test rugby and the hardness that goes

1319
01:03:59,627 --> 01:04:02,227
Speaker 2: with it. Very good point, Paul, and we spoke about

1320
01:04:02,227 --> 01:04:04,387
Speaker 2: this with Jack Mensley last week when we discussed the

1321
01:04:04,427 --> 01:04:07,267
Speaker 2: new laws and what it meant for players who would

1322
01:04:07,267 --> 01:04:09,787
Speaker 2: then have to go into the Test arena where the

1323
01:04:09,867 --> 01:04:13,667
Speaker 2: laws don't apply. And you know, Jack Mesley's got no

1324
01:04:14,547 --> 01:04:19,467
Speaker 2: he said it himself, he's got no responsibility to the Wallabies,

1325
01:04:19,507 --> 01:04:22,147
Speaker 2: to the All Blacks, to the Pacific Island national sides.

1326
01:04:22,387 --> 01:04:26,147
Speaker 2: His responsibility is to Super Rugby and what makes an

1327
01:04:26,187 --> 01:04:30,107
Speaker 2: attractive proposition. But of course, you know, I'm sure that

1328
01:04:30,227 --> 01:04:32,027
Speaker 2: he would he would like one of his teams to,

1329
01:04:32,187 --> 01:04:34,347
Speaker 2: you know, to win the World Cup, for example. And

1330
01:04:34,387 --> 01:04:37,347
Speaker 2: he said, you know, Super Rugby has proven over time

1331
01:04:37,867 --> 01:04:41,267
Speaker 2: to be a producer of really good test rugby plays.

1332
01:04:41,627 --> 01:04:44,707
Speaker 2: But obviously these tweaks are very different, and there's already

1333
01:04:44,787 --> 01:04:47,267
Speaker 2: scorn poured on them from from up north, which I'm

1334
01:04:47,267 --> 01:04:48,987
Speaker 2: sure we've seen. I guess the proof will be in

1335
01:04:48,987 --> 01:04:50,867
Speaker 2: the putting when the All Blacks come together and play

1336
01:04:51,147 --> 01:04:54,907
Speaker 2: teams from the Northern Hemisphere. Ian Hollo, mate.

1337
01:04:55,307 --> 01:04:57,427
Speaker 16: Good afternoon, Jason. How are you going then by?

1338
01:04:57,547 --> 01:05:00,187
Speaker 2: Pray great? Thanks? Ian? Yes great? Thanks at sale GP

1339
01:05:00,347 --> 01:05:02,347
Speaker 2: this weekend, so couldn't be happier.

1340
01:05:02,987 --> 01:05:04,307
Speaker 16: I can watch that later on.

1341
01:05:04,467 --> 01:05:04,747
Speaker 17: Listen.

1342
01:05:04,827 --> 01:05:09,427
Speaker 16: I'm about the rugby, lovely, enjoyed everything. I reckon the

1343
01:05:09,507 --> 01:05:11,827
Speaker 16: Highlanders are going to do pretty well this year. Made

1344
01:05:11,867 --> 01:05:14,867
Speaker 16: if they don't, it's my Chiefs or the Highlanders, or

1345
01:05:14,907 --> 01:05:17,467
Speaker 16: one of either one of them. I don't think any

1346
01:05:17,467 --> 01:05:21,227
Speaker 16: of the others. I'm not being awful, but listen, last

1347
01:05:21,307 --> 01:05:24,387
Speaker 16: night I watched the game pretty good, went through it

1348
01:05:24,947 --> 01:05:30,107
Speaker 16: and Cody Taylor, what's wrong there? Made he apparently he

1349
01:05:30,227 --> 01:05:34,067
Speaker 16: upset Angus Tale of vow? Is that right? He played

1350
01:05:34,067 --> 01:05:38,227
Speaker 16: for US Angus one of our winnings down here a

1351
01:05:38,267 --> 01:05:41,187
Speaker 16: few years ago, and they had a bit of a

1352
01:05:41,667 --> 01:05:44,787
Speaker 16: sort of a go at each other. I'm not very

1353
01:05:44,867 --> 01:05:46,947
Speaker 16: keen on him. I don't sort of hope the guy,

1354
01:05:46,947 --> 01:05:50,347
Speaker 16: he's a senior player. I'm just wondering whether he might

1355
01:05:50,387 --> 01:05:53,467
Speaker 16: have been one of the ones that sort of started all,

1356
01:05:53,587 --> 01:05:56,187
Speaker 16: you know, the trouble. I don't know, but no, they

1357
01:05:56,267 --> 01:05:58,467
Speaker 16: were having a little bit of a go there last night,

1358
01:05:58,547 --> 01:06:01,067
Speaker 16: but otherwise game was terrific, you know.

1359
01:06:01,547 --> 01:06:04,347
Speaker 2: Yeah, And just on your chiefs. Are they going to

1360
01:06:04,427 --> 01:06:06,187
Speaker 2: win one of these things at some point or not?

1361
01:06:07,147 --> 01:06:10,547
Speaker 16: Well, I'd love to see them go. It doesn't I mean,

1362
01:06:10,987 --> 01:06:14,107
Speaker 16: everybody sort of out of all of them, they're good,

1363
01:06:14,147 --> 01:06:17,147
Speaker 16: they're good, We're all good teams, they're good rugby players.

1364
01:06:18,067 --> 01:06:21,467
Speaker 16: There's just little odd mistakes here and there. But I'd

1365
01:06:21,507 --> 01:06:24,547
Speaker 16: love to see them win one, just one, and I'd

1366
01:06:24,547 --> 01:06:24,987
Speaker 16: be happy.

1367
01:06:25,067 --> 01:06:29,187
Speaker 2: Jason, mate, I'll be watching this competition for thirty years

1368
01:06:29,187 --> 01:06:31,227
Speaker 2: and my team's only ever won one. You've had a

1369
01:06:31,227 --> 01:06:33,347
Speaker 2: few more than you've had a few more than that

1370
01:06:33,667 --> 01:06:35,787
Speaker 2: in Chiefs Country, but we wait to see. I guess

1371
01:06:35,787 --> 01:06:38,507
Speaker 2: we're the Chiefs having made the last three Grand finals

1372
01:06:38,507 --> 01:06:40,227
Speaker 2: and not being able to get over that final hurdle.

1373
01:06:40,507 --> 01:06:43,427
Speaker 2: That must be sort of a bit annoying. John O.

1374
01:06:43,467 --> 01:06:45,027
Speaker 2: Gibbs last week when we spoke to him on the show,

1375
01:06:45,067 --> 01:06:46,867
Speaker 2: you might have heard this. He didn't seem to think

1376
01:06:46,867 --> 01:06:49,747
Speaker 2: that it was any kind of mental block. And look,

1377
01:06:49,907 --> 01:06:51,787
Speaker 2: you know they're they're very good again. I think they're

1378
01:06:51,787 --> 01:06:54,907
Speaker 2: competition favorites. But can they finally win one? I guess

1379
01:06:54,907 --> 01:06:56,947
Speaker 2: we'll wait and see. Ian good the chatty as always, mate,

1380
01:06:57,107 --> 01:07:00,707
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling in, justin, Hi mate, Hi on here

1381
01:07:00,747 --> 01:07:02,467
Speaker 2: you are, mate, good, justin, very good.

1382
01:07:02,507 --> 01:07:02,747
Speaker 19: Thanks.

1383
01:07:04,467 --> 01:07:06,227
Speaker 12: I think I think it was being forgotten to be

1384
01:07:06,467 --> 01:07:10,827
Speaker 12: especially if Jamie gets the big job, which as a

1385
01:07:10,907 --> 01:07:14,307
Speaker 12: Highlander supporter, I hope he does, just purely for the

1386
01:07:14,387 --> 01:07:19,347
Speaker 12: fact for himself he deserves it and you know he

1387
01:07:19,507 --> 01:07:21,307
Speaker 12: needs it, and well he doesn't need it, but he

1388
01:07:21,427 --> 01:07:24,827
Speaker 12: deserves it. But I think what's lost in all of

1389
01:07:24,867 --> 01:07:28,907
Speaker 12: this is if he gets the job, mate, well we're

1390
01:07:28,947 --> 01:07:31,707
Speaker 12: four nill against the box easy because there's a hidden

1391
01:07:31,827 --> 01:07:35,507
Speaker 12: little weapon there that everyone's forgotten about. An old colleague

1392
01:07:35,507 --> 01:07:38,707
Speaker 12: of yours who gives you know he took the Highlanders

1393
01:07:38,747 --> 01:07:42,187
Speaker 12: to the title over your beloved Hurricanes with his inspirational,

1394
01:07:42,307 --> 01:07:46,347
Speaker 12: motivational speeches. And I can just see Lashes getting that

1395
01:07:46,507 --> 01:07:50,787
Speaker 12: brown coat on and you know, all black dressing room

1396
01:07:50,947 --> 01:07:53,787
Speaker 12: and just just you know, getting us over the line.

1397
01:07:53,827 --> 01:07:57,547
Speaker 12: And I think a lot of that Highlands victory in

1398
01:07:57,667 --> 01:08:00,387
Speaker 12: twenty fifteen was on the back of Lashes.

1399
01:08:00,827 --> 01:08:05,507
Speaker 2: Well, look, I'm glad you can read his writing from fruit.

1400
01:08:06,747 --> 01:08:07,387
Speaker 4: To look.

1401
01:08:07,747 --> 01:08:10,347
Speaker 2: I tell you what I mean. On a similar note,

1402
01:08:10,747 --> 01:08:13,427
Speaker 2: I think when when the you know they say when

1403
01:08:13,547 --> 01:08:16,467
Speaker 2: when you know Kenry Rugby strong, New Zealand Rugby strong,

1404
01:08:16,507 --> 01:08:19,707
Speaker 2: When Auckland Rugby strong, same applies. I love it when

1405
01:08:20,507 --> 01:08:24,307
Speaker 2: down south Otago, Southland, the Highlanders, I love it when

1406
01:08:24,347 --> 01:08:26,347
Speaker 2: they do well. It just feels, I don't know, it

1407
01:08:26,427 --> 01:08:29,147
Speaker 2: just feels like the right thing for New Zealand rugby,

1408
01:08:29,227 --> 01:08:31,467
Speaker 2: for the Deep South, or not the Deep South, but

1409
01:08:31,587 --> 01:08:34,827
Speaker 2: from Dunedin down you look at those Lourie mains coach

1410
01:08:34,907 --> 01:08:37,707
Speaker 2: sides and the teams that Mark Ellis and John Leslie

1411
01:08:37,747 --> 01:08:40,867
Speaker 2: and Goldie and those guys and Joseph himself, those teams,

1412
01:08:40,947 --> 01:08:43,947
Speaker 2: those Otago teams of the of the nineties were just

1413
01:08:44,347 --> 01:08:46,907
Speaker 2: you know, they packed out Carrishbrook. It was just awesome

1414
01:08:46,987 --> 01:08:47,387
Speaker 2: down there.

1415
01:08:48,227 --> 01:08:50,827
Speaker 12: Yeah, well I'm married in Otago girl, so I had

1416
01:08:50,907 --> 01:08:54,387
Speaker 12: to say that. But yeah, as now at the end

1417
01:08:54,387 --> 01:08:57,427
Speaker 12: of the day, like I'm more elite fan than to

1418
01:08:57,467 --> 01:09:00,067
Speaker 12: be honest, but I'm always always so they had a

1419
01:09:00,587 --> 01:09:02,667
Speaker 12: soft spot for the Islanders are kind of you know,

1420
01:09:02,827 --> 01:09:05,707
Speaker 12: they they're everyone's sick in team. And I must have

1421
01:09:05,867 --> 01:09:08,307
Speaker 12: met was that my brother in law's fortieth the night

1422
01:09:08,387 --> 01:09:11,467
Speaker 12: they won, and a lot of attention went on the

1423
01:09:11,547 --> 01:09:14,147
Speaker 12: telly that night there was there was bloody awesome. As

1424
01:09:14,227 --> 01:09:16,467
Speaker 12: a neutral supporter, you know, at that time, it was

1425
01:09:16,467 --> 01:09:19,067
Speaker 12: actually awesome to watch them score that you get their

1426
01:09:19,147 --> 01:09:22,107
Speaker 12: victory and the way they actually the way they actually

1427
01:09:22,187 --> 01:09:24,507
Speaker 12: got to that final. You know, they they played away

1428
01:09:24,587 --> 01:09:27,667
Speaker 12: pretty much the whole final series and you know, beat

1429
01:09:27,907 --> 01:09:31,747
Speaker 12: the Warretas and certainly the week before and then you know,

1430
01:09:32,067 --> 01:09:35,707
Speaker 12: beat you you blokes. You know, it was a bloody good.

1431
01:09:35,667 --> 01:09:38,947
Speaker 2: Night And yeah, I can't I can't say I ensured

1432
01:09:38,987 --> 01:09:41,907
Speaker 2: it as much as you didn't. Just and I'm still

1433
01:09:42,067 --> 01:09:44,307
Speaker 2: I'm sort of entirely sure that Elliott Dixon got that

1434
01:09:44,427 --> 01:09:46,107
Speaker 2: ball down. But I'm not sure they're going to change

1435
01:09:46,107 --> 01:09:49,187
Speaker 2: it now, but yeah, like yeah, and we went on

1436
01:09:49,267 --> 01:09:50,507
Speaker 2: on one of the next year, so at least we've

1437
01:09:50,507 --> 01:09:53,427
Speaker 2: got our chocolates eventually. But yeah, look, it's you know,

1438
01:09:53,707 --> 01:09:55,627
Speaker 2: if you support the Crusaders, you get used to victory,

1439
01:09:55,667 --> 01:09:57,947
Speaker 2: don't you get used to winning things every year? Blues

1440
01:09:57,947 --> 01:09:59,507
Speaker 2: a little bit the same. The Chiefs, I'm sure will

1441
01:09:59,547 --> 01:10:01,347
Speaker 2: come right and win a couple more over the next

1442
01:10:01,387 --> 01:10:05,067
Speaker 2: little while. But for us Hurricanes and Highlanders fans, you know,

1443
01:10:05,187 --> 01:10:06,947
Speaker 2: and a League fan like you said, you know that

1444
01:10:07,067 --> 01:10:08,867
Speaker 2: the pickings were a bit slimmer, so you've got to

1445
01:10:08,987 --> 01:10:10,147
Speaker 2: enjoy them when they come along.

1446
01:10:11,867 --> 01:10:16,147
Speaker 12: Well, I'm a Warrior is supported Piney, so I'm just

1447
01:10:16,267 --> 01:10:16,747
Speaker 12: leaving at that.

1448
01:10:19,267 --> 01:10:21,347
Speaker 2: Love it mate, great to chat. Thanks for cooling and

1449
01:10:21,667 --> 01:10:24,227
Speaker 2: love chatting to your things. Indeed, Graham, are you okay?

1450
01:10:24,907 --> 01:10:29,067
Speaker 18: Oh I'm fine, Yeah, yeah, A bit disappointed last night. No,

1451
01:10:29,187 --> 01:10:33,067
Speaker 18: well done to the Islanders. They certainly deserve their victory.

1452
01:10:33,187 --> 01:10:37,787
Speaker 18: But yeah, no, I predictably, I think we'll turn things around.

1453
01:10:38,347 --> 01:10:40,747
Speaker 18: They got a bit of work to do nine days

1454
01:10:40,827 --> 01:10:43,387
Speaker 18: direct the five from last night for the next Sunday.

1455
01:10:43,507 --> 01:10:46,867
Speaker 18: So I agree with out the caller about Ethan Blackadder.

1456
01:10:46,867 --> 01:10:51,307
Speaker 18: I thought he was out outstanding last night. Yeah, he

1457
01:10:51,387 --> 01:10:53,547
Speaker 18: had a sum injury. He got played for Tasman and

1458
01:10:53,627 --> 01:10:57,107
Speaker 18: the MPhD. That's why he was out about two thirds

1459
01:10:57,107 --> 01:10:59,747
Speaker 18: of the way through the comp so that that's what

1460
01:11:00,347 --> 01:11:02,627
Speaker 18: where he disappeared to. But yeah, no, he had a

1461
01:11:02,667 --> 01:11:06,827
Speaker 18: great one. And yeah it's Tony ta for the Islanders

1462
01:11:06,867 --> 01:11:09,947
Speaker 18: on the wing was pretty awesome. You know, I think

1463
01:11:09,987 --> 01:11:11,947
Speaker 18: he's going to be in an all Black side, but yeah,

1464
01:11:11,947 --> 01:11:14,187
Speaker 18: I think yeah. I mean there's going to be obviously

1465
01:11:14,307 --> 01:11:19,867
Speaker 18: changes with Neil and Bower coming. And they talked about

1466
01:11:19,947 --> 01:11:24,267
Speaker 18: Cody Taylor. Another guy had said about him, but yeah

1467
01:11:24,787 --> 01:11:28,187
Speaker 18: he's a great player, Cody a great leader. And yeah,

1468
01:11:28,307 --> 01:11:30,867
Speaker 18: no they'll they'll be back. But they yeah, we were

1469
01:11:30,867 --> 01:11:33,067
Speaker 18: a good debts with the young guys coming through.

1470
01:11:33,147 --> 01:11:35,907
Speaker 2: But do you reckon Raham, Graham, do you reckon that

1471
01:11:36,027 --> 01:11:38,907
Speaker 2: James O'Connor might be quite a big miss. I know

1472
01:11:39,027 --> 01:11:40,947
Speaker 2: he wasn't starting any games. In fact, I think he

1473
01:11:41,027 --> 01:11:43,827
Speaker 2: might have started one all season, but he was always

1474
01:11:43,947 --> 01:11:45,987
Speaker 2: there or thereabouts. He'd come on, he'd close the game

1475
01:11:46,067 --> 01:11:50,147
Speaker 2: out and whenever you spoke to Taakim or Rivers Raehana,

1476
01:11:50,507 --> 01:11:52,907
Speaker 2: they talked about the influence that he had on them

1477
01:11:53,547 --> 01:11:57,347
Speaker 2: around training, the guidance that he gave them. I mean

1478
01:11:57,387 --> 01:12:00,267
Speaker 2: they're still young, first fives both of those blokes. Do

1479
01:12:00,347 --> 01:12:03,587
Speaker 2: you reckon James O'Connor's absence might actually be quite keenly felt,

1480
01:12:04,827 --> 01:12:05,987
Speaker 2: Oh I do, Yes.

1481
01:12:05,907 --> 01:12:06,067
Speaker 4: I do.

1482
01:12:06,267 --> 01:12:09,627
Speaker 18: I think that he Yeah, I heard him. You know,

1483
01:12:09,707 --> 01:12:11,787
Speaker 18: it was sort of that he was keen on playing

1484
01:12:11,787 --> 01:12:15,987
Speaker 18: for Canterbury in the NPC that he got the offer overseas. Yeah,

1485
01:12:16,147 --> 01:12:19,267
Speaker 18: and so you know, obviously he felt very much at

1486
01:12:19,307 --> 01:12:23,267
Speaker 18: home here and he did a great job mentoring those

1487
01:12:23,307 --> 01:12:26,867
Speaker 18: two guys, and I think both of them have grown

1488
01:12:26,947 --> 01:12:29,267
Speaker 18: from that too. But but yeah, he's not there, and

1489
01:12:29,347 --> 01:12:31,787
Speaker 18: that's always the case. You know, you're going to like

1490
01:12:31,867 --> 01:12:34,667
Speaker 18: a Tom Christie too. You know, he's not never the

1491
01:12:34,787 --> 01:12:38,467
Speaker 18: star of the Crusaders, but one of the most consistent players,

1492
01:12:38,547 --> 01:12:42,147
Speaker 18: so you you always miss what those guys bring. And

1493
01:12:42,267 --> 01:12:44,147
Speaker 18: James the conne was only here for one year, but

1494
01:12:44,227 --> 01:12:46,787
Speaker 18: he he made a heck of an impact. So yeah,

1495
01:12:46,867 --> 01:12:51,747
Speaker 18: that's very true. But at the same time, yeah, I

1496
01:12:51,787 --> 01:12:53,747
Speaker 18: think the other the other guys, you know, there's a

1497
01:12:55,267 --> 01:12:57,387
Speaker 18: the you know, I've grown from like Rivers at the

1498
01:12:57,467 --> 01:13:00,787
Speaker 18: end of last year and Taha looked good before his

1499
01:13:00,907 --> 01:13:04,307
Speaker 18: injury last year too, And yeah, they'll they'll take on

1500
01:13:04,467 --> 01:13:05,867
Speaker 18: those I hate to use that word.

1501
01:13:05,987 --> 01:13:11,067
Speaker 2: Learning lessons is the word grame, use lessons. Use lessons.

1502
01:13:11,107 --> 01:13:12,027
Speaker 2: It's a much better word.

1503
01:13:12,227 --> 01:13:12,907
Speaker 12: Yeah, it is.

1504
01:13:14,947 --> 01:13:18,147
Speaker 2: Much better made. It doesn't yet I don't. I mean, yeah, no,

1505
01:13:18,427 --> 01:13:20,427
Speaker 2: I don't think learnings is even a word. It seems

1506
01:13:20,427 --> 01:13:23,827
Speaker 2: we've entered our vocabulary. But you know, lessons. Just substitute

1507
01:13:23,947 --> 01:13:27,867
Speaker 2: learnings for lessons and we'll be right. Got to move

1508
01:13:27,907 --> 01:13:29,747
Speaker 2: to a golf report, Grahame, But thanks for calling and

1509
01:13:29,787 --> 01:13:32,227
Speaker 2: made no doubt we'll chat off on across the across

1510
01:13:32,307 --> 01:13:34,867
Speaker 2: the season. It's one game, I mean, that's I think

1511
01:13:34,867 --> 01:13:36,787
Speaker 2: we all know what how this ends. The Crusaders normally

1512
01:13:36,827 --> 01:13:38,907
Speaker 2: win Super Rugby. They'll probably go and win it again.

1513
01:13:39,667 --> 01:13:42,587
Speaker 2: You know, it's only mid February. Don't hand out any

1514
01:13:42,987 --> 01:13:45,187
Speaker 2: any silverware at this time of the year, not in

1515
01:13:45,227 --> 01:13:47,947
Speaker 2: Super Rugby anyway. Eighteen away from two at Royal Wellington

1516
01:13:47,987 --> 01:13:53,187
Speaker 2: Golf Club, the Women's Amateur Asia Pacific Golf Championship is

1517
01:13:53,267 --> 01:13:56,787
Speaker 2: into its third day. Steve where is on course and

1518
01:13:56,987 --> 01:13:58,867
Speaker 2: joins us. Now, what can you tell us about the

1519
01:13:58,947 --> 01:14:02,787
Speaker 2: shape of the leaderboard? And how the seven kiwis are

1520
01:14:02,827 --> 01:14:04,027
Speaker 2: going on day three, Steve.

1521
01:14:05,787 --> 01:14:08,827
Speaker 5: They come through the turn were there's warmed up a

1522
01:14:08,867 --> 01:14:11,547
Speaker 5: bit and the breeze is set around slightly. And as

1523
01:14:11,587 --> 01:14:14,547
Speaker 5: I mentioned before, the Korean girls are really flexing their muscles.

1524
01:14:15,547 --> 01:14:18,147
Speaker 5: You'ven being minus three through the turn to our lead

1525
01:14:18,147 --> 01:14:21,587
Speaker 5: at minus thirting from her teammate, and So Young who

1526
01:14:21,827 --> 01:14:24,667
Speaker 5: was the second round leader, has now just dropped a

1527
01:14:24,707 --> 01:14:27,307
Speaker 5: shot at minus twelve and the third teammatee sum and

1528
01:14:27,387 --> 01:14:30,587
Speaker 5: O's minus five hotest skull fro on course at minus eleven,

1529
01:14:31,027 --> 01:14:32,787
Speaker 5: so they're running away with a little bit. It's down

1530
01:14:32,827 --> 01:14:35,067
Speaker 5: to minus seven for the next place. The key Weaks

1531
01:14:35,507 --> 01:14:38,347
Speaker 5: Teresa Wags finished. She had a nice one under round

1532
01:14:38,387 --> 01:14:41,467
Speaker 5: to finish at plus two, tied twenty third. Dari Chung's

01:14:41,507 --> 01:14:43,267
Speaker 5: got a couple of holes to go and she's even

1534
01:14:43,307 --> 01:14:45,667
Speaker 5: on a round at tied twenty sixth, and at least

1535
01:14:45,707 --> 01:14:48,347
Speaker 5: Barber's doing fantastic. She's round onto the front nine, which

1536
01:14:48,427 --> 01:14:50,667
Speaker 5: is the toper nine. Just won over the card for

1537
01:14:50,707 --> 01:14:53,267
Speaker 5: the day and moved up from fiftyth to tide thirty ninth.

1538
01:14:53,427 --> 01:14:57,027
Speaker 5: So some great viewing. Gee, the crowds are flocking out.

1539
01:14:57,587 --> 01:14:59,187
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was still going to ask about the galleries

1540
01:14:59,187 --> 01:15:01,307
Speaker 2: because I know they had quite high expectations across the

1541
01:15:01,587 --> 01:15:04,387
Speaker 2: across the four days. It's free entry. Of course, there

1542
01:15:04,427 --> 01:15:07,307
Speaker 2: isn't it Royal Wellington across the weekend, so people taking

1543
01:15:07,347 --> 01:15:10,307
Speaker 2: advantage of seeing some of the world's best young golfers.

1544
01:15:11,307 --> 01:15:14,907

1545
01:15:14,907 --> 01:15:18,107
Speaker 5: the key with girls, specially the two Wellington girls. So yes,

Speaker 1: with GJ Garderhomes, New Zealand's most trusted home builder, News talks, they'd.

1560
01:15:58,507 --> 01:16:01,867
Speaker 2: Be let's bring out Australia correspondent Adam Peacock. Can we

1561
01:16:01,907 --> 01:16:04,907
Speaker 2: start at the Tea twenty Cricket World Cup Zimbabwe one

1562
01:16:05,067 --> 01:16:05,667
Speaker 2: sixty year?

1563
01:16:05,707 --> 01:16:05,907
Speaker 6: We do?

1564
01:16:06,467 --> 01:16:09,627
Speaker 2: We do have to start there. Zimbabwe won sixty nine

1565
01:16:09,787 --> 01:16:14,387
Speaker 2: for two, Australia all out one forty six. What has happened?

1566
01:16:15,907 --> 01:16:19,267
Speaker 7: Zimbabwe played very well and Australia didn't play very well.

1567
01:16:19,467 --> 01:16:22,867
Speaker 7: This is as simple as that. Just it felt like

1568
01:16:22,987 --> 01:16:27,067
Speaker 7: watching him that the next batter in would go like

1569
01:16:27,187 --> 01:16:29,147
Speaker 7: the that is in would go, oh, i'll get out,

1570
01:16:29,187 --> 01:16:31,627
Speaker 7: but that's right. The next guy in, we'll do something.

1571
01:16:31,787 --> 01:16:32,187
Speaker 13: That's right.

1572
01:16:32,227 --> 01:16:34,867
Speaker 7: The next guy in, we'll do something. And it didn't

1573
01:16:34,907 --> 01:16:37,907
Speaker 7: quite work out. Zimbabwe bold really well and more importantly,

1574
01:16:38,627 --> 01:16:39,307
Speaker 7: caught really well.

1575
01:16:39,547 --> 01:16:40,027
Speaker 13: A couple of.

1576
01:16:40,227 --> 01:16:44,347
Speaker 7: Spectacular bits of seilding from them, one in particular to

1577
01:16:44,507 --> 01:16:47,347
Speaker 7: get rid of I forget they all go into one

1578
01:16:47,427 --> 01:16:48,867
Speaker 7: but there was no catch in the boundary. That was

1579
01:16:48,867 --> 01:16:51,547
Speaker 7: absolutely spectacular. So yeah, totally deserves it.

1580
01:16:51,587 --> 01:16:54,507
Speaker 2: Wasn't a fluke one sixty nine for two as well,

1581
01:16:54,707 --> 01:16:57,387
Speaker 2: so the Australian bowling. I guess you keep a team

1582
01:16:57,387 --> 01:16:59,387
Speaker 2: to one sixty nine and a ten twenty. That's good.

1583
01:16:59,427 --> 01:17:01,427
Speaker 2: It's just over eight and over but only a couple

1584
01:17:01,507 --> 01:17:05,307
Speaker 2: of wickets. What was the bowling performance, like, yeah, not there.

1585
01:17:05,787 --> 01:17:09,307
Speaker 7: Obviously we've got our quicks, our front line quicks. Not there,

1586
01:17:09,387 --> 01:17:12,267
Speaker 7: so they had to mix and match. They put in

1587
01:17:12,547 --> 01:17:14,987
Speaker 7: Matt Kerneman and Adam Zample was playing, so there was

1588
01:17:15,027 --> 01:17:17,907
Speaker 7: no room for Cooper Connelly, which maybe on reflection might

1589
01:17:17,947 --> 01:17:21,147
Speaker 7: have been a bit of a blue but overall Zimbabwe

1590
01:17:21,267 --> 01:17:23,067
Speaker 7: just controlled the tempo as well. It was it was

1591
01:17:23,067 --> 01:17:24,707
Speaker 7: a pretty good deck to bat on first and then

1592
01:17:24,747 --> 01:17:27,027
Speaker 7: it slowed up. It looked like the wicket but still

1593
01:17:27,107 --> 01:17:29,867
Speaker 7: no excuse. The Zimbabwe were just too good and it

1594
01:17:29,987 --> 01:17:32,107
Speaker 7: wasn't so much the conditions. It was more to do

1595
01:17:32,227 --> 01:17:33,347
Speaker 7: with the performance of both sides.

1596
01:17:34,227 --> 01:17:36,067
Speaker 2: As Fradier will still make it through though one they

1597
01:17:36,147 --> 01:17:37,267
Speaker 2: to the super rights, it's not.

1598
01:17:39,027 --> 01:17:42,827
Speaker 7: The now well, it's out of their hands. If they

1599
01:17:42,827 --> 01:17:45,387
Speaker 7: don't beat Chlanka, it's totally out of their hands. So look,

1600
01:17:45,427 --> 01:17:47,347
Speaker 7: if they beat til Anka there's still a big chance

1601
01:17:47,387 --> 01:17:51,787
Speaker 7: of going through. But yeah, it's all kinds of pressure

1602
01:17:51,827 --> 01:17:54,627
Speaker 7: on knocking off the the co hosts on their deck.

1603
01:17:55,227 --> 01:17:57,907
Speaker 2: Now I've seen this one before. I've seen this one before. Mate,

1604
01:17:57,947 --> 01:17:59,427
Speaker 2: you still probably go on and win it.

1605
01:18:01,267 --> 01:18:04,147
Speaker 7: Maybe Steve Smith going over, I mean, really he should

1606
01:18:04,147 --> 01:18:06,147
Speaker 7: have been there. He would have suited that run chase

1607
01:18:06,347 --> 01:18:08,707
Speaker 7: perfectly yesterday because he's such a good player of spin

1608
01:18:09,347 --> 01:18:11,427
Speaker 7: and he just knows how to control the tempo and

1609
01:18:11,467 --> 01:18:13,267
Speaker 7: know when to go. Matt ranchall about it really well.

1610
01:18:13,307 --> 01:18:15,107
Speaker 7: He was about the only one whereas some of the

1611
01:18:15,187 --> 01:18:17,147
Speaker 7: power hit as they were really struggling on the deck,

1612
01:18:17,227 --> 01:18:20,347
Speaker 7: and yeah, it just didn't work out for him all right.

1613
01:18:20,387 --> 01:18:22,587
Speaker 2: Other metters around Winter Olympics are on at the moment.

1614
01:18:23,667 --> 01:18:26,107
Speaker 2: I guess a little bit like us over here. It's

1615
01:18:26,187 --> 01:18:28,147
Speaker 2: not right in the wheelhouse of a lot of people.

1616
01:18:28,227 --> 01:18:31,147
Speaker 2: But when an Australian is doing well, I'm sure there's

1617
01:18:31,507 --> 01:18:32,947
Speaker 2: a bit of interest. I think you've got a gold

1618
01:18:32,987 --> 01:18:36,867
Speaker 2: medal Cooper Woods and the freestyle skiing, so you'll become

1619
01:18:37,227 --> 01:18:38,347
Speaker 2: experts in that for a bit.

1620
01:18:39,267 --> 01:18:41,587
Speaker 7: Yeah, and another one this morning and the women's snowboard cross,

1621
01:18:41,627 --> 01:18:44,107
Speaker 7: which is the demolition derby with four of them going

1622
01:18:44,347 --> 01:18:48,547
Speaker 7: hurtling down the mountain, and yeah, an Australian got there

1623
01:18:48,627 --> 01:18:51,187
Speaker 7: first and Scotty Jaines nearly won the mental half plot.

1624
01:18:51,347 --> 01:18:54,067
Speaker 7: So I think we're two goal one field at the moment,

1625
01:18:54,107 --> 01:18:57,547
Speaker 7: which is pretty good. I mean, really we shouldn't get

1626
01:18:57,587 --> 01:18:59,867
Speaker 7: anywhere near it given the amount of snow we have

1627
01:18:59,987 --> 01:19:03,827
Speaker 7: in proportion to the Northern Hemisphere countries. And I'd said

1628
01:19:03,827 --> 01:19:05,747
Speaker 7: the keys one or two medals.

1629
01:19:05,507 --> 01:19:07,907
Speaker 2: So far, not the one here we've got one two

1630
01:19:07,987 --> 01:19:09,707
Speaker 2: years o silver and a bronze. Yes, so we're sort

1631
01:19:09,747 --> 01:19:12,027
Speaker 2: of you know, there's a down in Queenstown in the

1632
01:19:12,067 --> 01:19:13,587
Speaker 2: South Island. There are a lot of snow down there

1633
01:19:13,667 --> 01:19:16,707
Speaker 2: and other parts of the country. Yeah, but they're also

1634
01:19:16,827 --> 01:19:19,187
Speaker 2: they're also young, these athletes, you know, they're all I

1635
01:19:19,227 --> 01:19:21,947
Speaker 2: feel as it's a little bit like gymnastics or swimming,

1636
01:19:21,987 --> 01:19:24,627
Speaker 2: where you know you do your best work when you're

1637
01:19:24,667 --> 01:19:26,547
Speaker 2: sort of under the age of twenty one.

1638
01:19:27,467 --> 01:19:30,627
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, and it is a good sport. Like we

1639
01:19:31,147 --> 01:19:33,147
Speaker 7: laugh about the fact that we're competing on this stage

1640
01:19:33,147 --> 01:19:35,147
Speaker 7: against some of the European nations who live in snow,

1641
01:19:35,267 --> 01:19:37,747
Speaker 7: but really like six months of the year we've got

1642
01:19:37,787 --> 01:19:41,107
Speaker 7: snow down here. Obviously Queen's Down. It's a magnificent based

1643
01:19:41,147 --> 01:19:43,147
Speaker 7: that same here in Australia. We've got a good setup

1644
01:19:43,147 --> 01:19:45,107
Speaker 7: and actually the world comes to us during their summer,

1645
01:19:45,147 --> 01:19:47,387
Speaker 7: they come down here to train here, so they're getting

1646
01:19:47,427 --> 01:19:49,507
Speaker 7: that good training in. There's a good setup. They're coast

1647
01:19:49,587 --> 01:19:51,667
Speaker 7: set up and I think the Australian Wind the team

1648
01:19:51,707 --> 01:19:53,747
Speaker 7: have done it really well. They just target certain sports.

1649
01:19:53,747 --> 01:19:56,627
Speaker 7: They don't try and go and all comers approach and

1650
01:19:56,747 --> 01:19:58,307
Speaker 7: try and get in every event like we do. In

1651
01:19:58,427 --> 01:20:00,067
Speaker 7: some of them, they go right, what are the ones

1652
01:20:00,067 --> 01:20:02,067
Speaker 7: that work for us? And really the freestyle events such

1653
01:20:02,147 --> 01:20:07,067
Speaker 7: as aerials, moguls, snowballs, they're the ones that that work

1654
01:20:07,147 --> 01:20:09,067
Speaker 7: really well for us, and that's what they've done.

1655
01:20:10,027 --> 01:20:13,187
Speaker 2: And Super Rugby underway last night the war Retars beating

1656
01:20:13,227 --> 01:20:15,107
Speaker 2: the Reds thirty six twelve. I think there's a bit

1657
01:20:15,147 --> 01:20:18,347
Speaker 2: of optimism around about the war Tars the season. Cmx

1658
01:20:18,427 --> 01:20:20,187
Speaker 2: Jordanson got a couple of tries. That's a good start

1659
01:20:20,267 --> 01:20:23,387
Speaker 2: for them. Are they Are they the war Tars likely

1660
01:20:23,867 --> 01:20:27,507
Speaker 2: to be the biggest challenger or the Brumbies still likely

1661
01:20:27,587 --> 01:20:29,107
Speaker 2: to be that From an Australian point of.

1662
01:20:29,107 --> 01:20:31,947
Speaker 7: View, you'd say the Brumbies. So the war Tars were

1663
01:20:31,987 --> 01:20:35,067
Speaker 7: impressive last night, but again when they play each other,

1664
01:20:35,147 --> 01:20:37,267
Speaker 7: you can't really tell us. When we play the keywek teams.

1665
01:20:37,427 --> 01:20:41,067
Speaker 7: I think that we get really found out, really well,

1666
01:20:41,307 --> 01:20:43,707
Speaker 7: we find out what they're really about. I mean, firstly,

1667
01:20:43,747 --> 01:20:45,787
Speaker 7: the war Tars when they're not punching seven shades out

1668
01:20:45,787 --> 01:20:47,507
Speaker 7: of each other, they're actually a pretty good footing team.

1669
01:20:47,667 --> 01:20:49,707
Speaker 7: The on reflection of last night getting what happened to

1670
01:20:49,747 --> 01:20:51,507
Speaker 7: training and off season but now.

1671
01:20:51,827 --> 01:20:52,267
Speaker 20: Were too good.

1672
01:20:52,427 --> 01:20:55,227
Speaker 7: They were just a bit a bit sharper, especially around

1673
01:20:55,907 --> 01:20:57,747
Speaker 7: the middle of the field. I watched the bit of

1674
01:20:57,827 --> 01:21:01,907
Speaker 7: that and yeah, Queensland just couldn't couldn't find the punch

1675
01:21:01,987 --> 01:21:04,187
Speaker 7: that they needed to to get themselves in field position

1676
01:21:04,307 --> 01:21:07,427
Speaker 7: to do a few things. And he's come back to

1677
01:21:07,507 --> 01:21:10,507
Speaker 7: the wild Cards. He was fantastic, so that's great that

1678
01:21:10,587 --> 01:21:12,827
Speaker 7: he's back after a little of a bit of a

1679
01:21:12,907 --> 01:21:16,387
Speaker 7: spell in France. But yeah, the war Card is impressive

1680
01:21:16,827 --> 01:21:19,507
Speaker 7: so far. But we're waiting to see what the Force

1681
01:21:19,587 --> 01:21:22,827
Speaker 7: and Brumbies throw up over here later today with the

1682
01:21:22,907 --> 01:21:24,227
Speaker 7: other two. The teams in action.

1683

1738
01:24:08,547 --> 01:24:13,467
Speaker 2: o'clock today, and that is staying put. Four o'clock racing today,

1739
01:24:13,547 --> 01:24:16,227
Speaker 2: and they're looking to get four fleet racers in today

1740
01:24:16,547 --> 01:24:19,347
Speaker 2: and then tomorrow racing brought forward to eleven thirty. And

1741
01:24:19,427 --> 01:24:21,387
Speaker 2: as we understand that three more fleet racers than a

1742
01:24:21,467 --> 01:24:25,987
Speaker 2: three boat final. Of course some conditions and time permitting

1743
01:24:26,347 --> 01:24:28,747

01:24:31,467 --> 01:24:34,867

Speaker 2: the driver of the US boat. They've underachieved really, you

1759
01:25:19,147 --> 01:25:23,427
Speaker 2: have to say as far as the sal GP season

1760
01:25:23,507 --> 01:25:26,627
Speaker 2: last year is concerned. They were dead last last season.

1761
01:25:26,707 --> 01:25:28,987
Speaker 2: So how can they lift themselves from the foot of

1762
01:25:29,027 --> 01:25:32,747
Speaker 2: the ladder and challenge again for the you know, for

1763

Speaker 2: America's Cup winner driver for the United States SALEGP team

1779
01:26:31,387 --> 01:26:35,387
Speaker 2: and founder and CEO of the Italy SALEGP team, who

01:26:35,427 --> 01:26:38,947
Speaker 2: we're into their second season, talking of course about Jimmy

1781
01:26:39,147 --> 01:26:42,227
Speaker 2: Spittel who joins us now. Jimmy good to get the

1782
01:26:42,307 --> 01:26:45,347
Speaker 2: chance to chat to you today. Italy tenth in your

1783
01:26:45,507 --> 01:26:49,307
Speaker 2: debut sale GP season last year. So if you look

1784
01:26:49,307 --> 01:26:53,187
Speaker 2: ahead to twenty twenty six, what does success look like

1785
01:26:53,387 --> 01:26:54,587
Speaker 2: for your team this year?

1786
01:26:55,547 --> 01:26:58,907
Speaker 19: Well, it's clearly climbing that ladder, getting up on the partium,

1787
01:26:59,387 --> 01:27:02,747
Speaker 19: you know, making Super Sunday, that Grand Final race, and

1788
01:27:03,187 --> 01:27:05,027
Speaker 19: ultimately getting in the money.

1789
01:27:06,827 --> 01:27:09,147
Speaker 2: As simple as that. So are there improvements that you've

1790
01:27:09,347 --> 01:27:11,347
Speaker 2: identified that will help you to do that?

1791
01:27:12,067 --> 01:27:14,827
Speaker 19: Look, one of the biggest challenges coming into sal GP

1792
01:27:15,147 --> 01:27:17,947
Speaker 19: as a new team is trying to catch up to

1793
01:27:18,027 --> 01:27:20,467
Speaker 19: these experienced teams that have had hours and hours in

1794
01:27:20,507 --> 01:27:24,387
Speaker 19: their fifties. The biggest challenge is that you don't get

1795
01:27:24,467 --> 01:27:26,467
Speaker 19: to train, So it's not like you can go and

1796
01:27:26,547 --> 01:27:28,947
Speaker 19: get your boat and train in your off season. The

1797
01:27:29,027 --> 01:27:30,827
Speaker 19: boats are always on the ship and they're always going

1798
01:27:30,867 --> 01:27:33,467
Speaker 19: to the next event, and the f fifties are so unique,

1799
01:27:33,507 --> 01:27:37,307
Speaker 19: there's nothing really like them. So, Look, that's a battle.

1800
01:27:37,347 --> 01:27:38,867
Speaker 19: You've just got to sort of go through a little

1801
01:27:38,867 --> 01:27:40,987
Speaker 19: bit of an apprenticeship almost as a new team, and

1802
01:27:41,067 --> 01:27:42,907
Speaker 19: you've got to get your athletes. At the same time,

1803
01:27:42,987 --> 01:27:44,467
Speaker 19: we've also added.

1804
01:27:44,227 --> 01:27:45,467
Speaker 2: Some depth to our roster.

1805
01:27:45,547 --> 01:27:49,307
Speaker 19: We've added Phil Robertson, a very very experienced, very successful sailor.

1806
01:27:49,667 --> 01:27:52,627
Speaker 19: We've got a great mix on board now, a mix

1807
01:27:52,747 --> 01:27:56,547
Speaker 19: of international and also Italian talent. Look, our first event

1808
01:27:56,667 --> 01:28:00,267
Speaker 19: with our new lineup, we're a second and the ABW event.

1809
01:28:00,907 --> 01:28:03,067
Speaker 19: We had a midpac finish in Perth the first event

1810
01:28:03,347 --> 01:28:06,467
Speaker 19: of this year, seventh place. So look, it's just we've

1811
01:28:06,467 --> 01:28:08,667
Speaker 19: got to keep following our process, keep taking the steps.

1812
01:28:08,707 --> 01:28:10,947
Speaker 19: But there's no doubt we want to be we want

1813
01:28:10,987 --> 01:28:12,427
Speaker 19: to hold a championships as simple as that.

1814
01:28:12,987 --> 01:28:15,067
Speaker 2: Tell us about the acquisition of Phil Robertson and what

1815
01:28:15,187 --> 01:28:18,427
Speaker 2: he's brought to your team and has short time with

1816
01:28:18,547 --> 01:28:18,987
Speaker 2: you so far.

1817
01:28:19,387 --> 01:28:22,987
Speaker 19: Phil's probably the most one of the most experienced athletes.

1818
01:28:23,067 --> 01:28:25,427
Speaker 19: I think is very, very well rounded. You know, he

1819
01:28:25,507 --> 01:28:30,067
Speaker 19: comes from a match racing career, in a World Championships,

1820
01:28:30,187 --> 01:28:33,907
Speaker 19: leading teams, He's done multi hole sailing, He's led different

1821
01:28:34,067 --> 01:28:37,147
Speaker 19: Sale GP teams, he's involved leading the Chinese team, the

1822
01:28:37,227 --> 01:28:40,467
Speaker 19: Canadian team, a proven winner. But I think the big

1823
01:28:40,547 --> 01:28:42,707
Speaker 19: thing with Fairly is he really is a natural leader,

1824
01:28:43,147 --> 01:28:45,867
Speaker 19: and that's something you see very you know, he's the

1825
01:28:45,907 --> 01:28:48,667
Speaker 19: first guy to put his hand up, really open to feedback,

1826
01:28:49,147 --> 01:28:51,747
Speaker 19: but at the same time he can also diffuse the

1827
01:28:51,827 --> 01:28:53,427
Speaker 19: pressure and have a bit of a laugh with the

1828
01:28:53,507 --> 01:28:55,267
Speaker 19: team as well, and so I think that's exactly what

1829
01:28:55,347 --> 01:28:58,187
Speaker 19: you need. And Sales GP is so dynamic, it's really

1830
01:28:58,267 --> 01:29:01,307
Speaker 19: like nothing else out there. You've got thirteen f fifty.

1831
01:29:01,347 --> 01:29:04,107
Speaker 19: He's doing one hundred ks an hour and having the

1832
01:29:04,227 --> 01:29:09,107
Speaker 19: ability to look a few nerves ahead and anticipate someone

1833
01:29:09,187 --> 01:29:11,347
Speaker 19: like Phil that's right in his wheelhouse.

1834
01:29:12,427 --> 01:29:15,227
Speaker 2: Is there a mission to be done when you have

1835
01:29:15,267 --> 01:29:17,547
Speaker 2: a new leader come into an established team or a

1836
01:29:17,627 --> 01:29:21,107
Speaker 2: team that's been there under different leadership up until his arrival.

1837
01:29:21,507 --> 01:29:24,667
Speaker 19: Well, it was a really new squad anyway. And again

1838
01:29:24,787 --> 01:29:28,947
Speaker 19: our Rigera Tita, who's himself incredible talent from day like

1839
01:29:28,987 --> 01:29:31,867
Speaker 19: a back to back Olympic champion, and the foiling Nacro

1840
01:29:31,947 --> 01:29:36,427
Speaker 19: class still part of our roster. And I think what

1841
01:29:36,547 --> 01:29:39,267
Speaker 19: we're really seeing now and all the teams are just

1842
01:29:39,387 --> 01:29:42,427
Speaker 19: like any high professional sporting teams, is you have to

1843
01:29:42,587 --> 01:29:43,627
Speaker 19: have depth in the team.

1844
01:29:44,107 --> 01:29:45,027
Speaker 2: Man. You can turn up.

1845
01:29:45,227 --> 01:29:47,667
Speaker 19: Someone could be injured, someone could be sick, someone's having

1846
01:29:47,667 --> 01:29:50,147
Speaker 19: a baby, someone's getting married. You know, there's always something

1847
01:29:50,187 --> 01:29:52,827
Speaker 19: going on, and you can't if you don't have a

1848
01:29:52,867 --> 01:29:54,907
Speaker 19: backup plan, that's going to be a problem. And if

1849
01:29:54,947 --> 01:29:57,227
Speaker 19: you look you look at a rugby team, a basketball team,

1850
01:29:57,267 --> 01:30:00,227
Speaker 19: whatever it is, you've always you've got to have that depth.

1851
01:30:00,427 --> 01:30:02,907
Speaker 19: And so now we're actually in a much stronger position

1852
01:30:03,067 --> 01:30:07,587
Speaker 19: than we are. We've got two experience, believe world class drivers.

1853
01:30:07,947 --> 01:30:09,587
Speaker 19: A lot of the other teams can't have that, So

1854
01:30:10,227 --> 01:30:12,387
Speaker 19: it really is about risk award, especially when you're looking

1855
01:30:12,507 --> 01:30:14,787
Speaker 19: at the money that's involved now in these teams and

1856
01:30:14,907 --> 01:30:19,627
Speaker 19: just the intensity of we're doing fourteen events this year.

1857
01:30:21,147 --> 01:30:24,147
Speaker 2: How much is the data playing its part? You know,

1858
01:30:24,707 --> 01:30:27,467
Speaker 2: is this still a fuel to sailing the fifties or

1859
01:30:27,827 --> 01:30:29,907
Speaker 2: is it really data driven out there.

1860
01:30:30,347 --> 01:30:32,227
Speaker 19: I think it's one of the coolest things and that

1861
01:30:32,347 --> 01:30:36,107
Speaker 19: it's a real balance. Yes, you see teams that have

1862
01:30:36,307 --> 01:30:38,987
Speaker 19: had a lot of time together, which is not new

1863
01:30:39,107 --> 01:30:41,187
Speaker 19: and sporting teams everyone knows you've got to build those

1864
01:30:41,227 --> 01:30:44,747
Speaker 19: connections and relationships. But you can clearly see the teams

1865
01:30:44,787 --> 01:30:47,027
Speaker 19: that have got more hours than others when you get

1866
01:30:47,067 --> 01:30:49,587
Speaker 19: to the high end competition of a lot of wind.

1867
01:30:49,987 --> 01:30:52,427
Speaker 19: The Australian team, you know, even the New Zealand team,

1868
01:30:52,507 --> 01:30:53,547
Speaker 19: the British team are.

1869
01:30:53,507 --> 01:30:54,387
Speaker 2: Good examples of that.

1870
01:30:55,067 --> 01:30:58,387
Speaker 19: However, as we've seen, I mean, the difference is everyone

1871
01:30:58,507 --> 01:31:00,147
Speaker 19: is on the same equipment, so no one has a

1872
01:31:00,227 --> 01:31:04,227
Speaker 19: technical advantage. Plus you can see exactly what those teams

1873
01:31:04,267 --> 01:31:07,707
Speaker 19: are doing on any particular day at any particular time.

1874
01:31:08,227 --> 01:31:11,027
Speaker 19: So if you imagine as a Formula One team that

1875
01:31:11,147 --> 01:31:14,307
Speaker 19: you could see you know exactly the setup on what

1876
01:31:14,387 --> 01:31:17,227
Speaker 19: all the other cars are doing. Man, that'd be huge.

1877
01:31:17,267 --> 01:31:19,147
Speaker 19: So we can do that live, We can do that

1878
01:31:19,227 --> 01:31:21,147
Speaker 19: from the day before the race before. We can do

1879
01:31:21,227 --> 01:31:23,467
Speaker 19: that for four seasons ago if we wanted to. So

1880
01:31:23,867 --> 01:31:27,107
Speaker 19: I think that it's just a perfect blend of using

1881
01:31:27,147 --> 01:31:30,467
Speaker 19: the data and the technical side. But it really does

1882
01:31:30,587 --> 01:31:33,227
Speaker 19: come down to the athletes and the team because everyone's

1883
01:31:33,267 --> 01:31:33,867
Speaker 19: on the same gear.

1884
01:31:34,547 --> 01:31:37,027
Speaker 2: When you are reviewing the data, which metrics are most

1885
01:31:37,107 --> 01:31:38,947
Speaker 2: valuable to you to improve performance?

1886
01:31:39,387 --> 01:31:43,547
Speaker 19: Well, the biggest performance driver is how you've set up

1887
01:31:43,587 --> 01:31:45,907
Speaker 19: the boat and how your technique and how you're sailing it.

1888
01:31:46,107 --> 01:31:50,627
Speaker 19: So you know the arrow profile of the wing and

1889
01:31:51,227 --> 01:31:54,947
Speaker 19: the canber, the twist distribution, the settings on the foils

1890
01:31:54,987 --> 01:31:59,747
Speaker 19: and rudders. These boats are very, very complex, and it's

1891
01:31:59,947 --> 01:32:02,667
Speaker 19: really a problem of almost too much data. There's too

1892
01:32:02,707 --> 01:32:05,147
Speaker 19: many things, and I think part of the secret is

1893
01:32:05,267 --> 01:32:08,467
Speaker 19: really trying to fire the big ticket items and what's

1894
01:32:08,627 --> 01:32:11,987
Speaker 19: really going to be the key driver here and winning

1895
01:32:12,187 --> 01:32:14,667
Speaker 19: the race today. You know, if it's lighter air conditions,

1896
01:32:14,747 --> 01:32:17,827
Speaker 19: it could be a certain set of parameters you're looking at.

1897
01:32:17,907 --> 01:32:20,907
Speaker 19: If it's a windier flat water track if it's rough

1898
01:32:21,027 --> 01:32:23,827
Speaker 19: and you've got ocean swell. So there's so many things

1899
01:32:23,867 --> 01:32:26,267
Speaker 19: that go into it. And even the teams have their right.

1900
01:32:26,667 --> 01:32:29,307
Speaker 19: You have a playbook, much like a football team. You

1901
01:32:29,387 --> 01:32:31,547
Speaker 19: have all these different plays. Well, it's no different because

1902
01:32:31,587 --> 01:32:35,547
Speaker 19: you're heavily undermanned on these boats and everyone's got to

1903
01:32:35,587 --> 01:32:39,587
Speaker 19: play all sorts of roles in different maneuvers. And again, look,

1904
01:32:39,707 --> 01:32:41,387
Speaker 19: just sailing one of these boats around the track is

1905
01:32:41,427 --> 01:32:44,147
Speaker 19: hard enough as it is. Throw another twelve of them

1906
01:32:44,187 --> 01:32:46,227
Speaker 19: out there on the racetrack. They have a say in

1907
01:32:46,307 --> 01:32:47,867
Speaker 19: what you do as well, and a lot of the

1908
01:32:47,907 --> 01:32:49,347
Speaker 19: times you have no idea what they're going to do.

1909
01:32:49,907 --> 01:32:53,107
Speaker 2: Are you making significant sit up changes between races or

1910
01:32:53,227 --> 01:32:55,187
Speaker 2: is it happening in real time both?

1911
01:32:55,387 --> 01:32:55,627
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1912
01:32:55,707 --> 01:32:58,587
Speaker 19: I think another big change is that we have like

1913
01:32:58,707 --> 01:33:01,507
Speaker 19: a pitwall. Every team, there's like a coaching booth, and

1914
01:33:02,147 --> 01:33:05,547
Speaker 19: each there's basically three people to each of those coaching booths.

1915
01:33:06,347 --> 01:33:08,387
Speaker 19: I've got all the screens, all the data they can

1916
01:33:08,427 --> 01:33:10,787
Speaker 19: look at their own boat, the other boats, the entire fleet.

1917
01:33:10,787 --> 01:33:14,067
Speaker 19: They've got every camera angle and so during the race

1918
01:33:14,187 --> 01:33:18,147
Speaker 19: they're giving input real time to the teams and at

1919
01:33:18,187 --> 01:33:21,147
Speaker 19: the same time, in between races, you've generally got around

1920
01:33:21,227 --> 01:33:24,307
Speaker 19: six or seven minutes, and you've got to sort of

1921
01:33:24,627 --> 01:33:28,227
Speaker 19: get across to the team what's important themselves, what this

1922
01:33:28,387 --> 01:33:31,267
Speaker 19: scene is working on the racetrack, maybe the setup of

1923
01:33:31,347 --> 01:33:34,747
Speaker 19: the teams that look the fastest out there, gains and losses,

1924
01:33:35,707 --> 01:33:38,067
Speaker 19: and I think again, the trick is trying to deliver

1925
01:33:38,187 --> 01:33:42,227
Speaker 19: that in a real clean, concise, simple manner. You've got

1926
01:33:42,267 --> 01:33:45,187
Speaker 19: to be so careful with information overload as well as

1927
01:33:45,227 --> 01:33:47,787
Speaker 19: when you input to these live you know they're in

1928
01:33:47,867 --> 01:33:51,267
Speaker 19: the heat of the battle in intense situations. You've seen

1929
01:33:51,427 --> 01:33:53,387
Speaker 19: f one driver and they get agitated a lot of

1930
01:33:53,427 --> 01:33:55,427
Speaker 19: the time with the comms from that. So again, to

1931
01:33:55,547 --> 01:33:58,947
Speaker 19: try and do that in a team environment, it's a

1932
01:33:59,027 --> 01:34:01,787
Speaker 19: constant learning process and every team's got their own style

1933
01:34:01,867 --> 01:34:02,507
Speaker 19: and how they do it.

1934
01:34:03,067 --> 01:34:04,707
Speaker 2: We hear a lot about the start, Jimmy, you know

1935
01:34:04,827 --> 01:34:07,347
Speaker 2: how important it is? How important is it?

1936
01:34:07,987 --> 01:34:10,907
Speaker 19: It's the most important thing, I'd say in sol GP

1937
01:34:11,307 --> 01:34:14,387
Speaker 19: is the start and that first turn. It's a lot

1938
01:34:14,507 --> 01:34:17,347
Speaker 19: like let's say a motocross start where everyone sort of

1939
01:34:17,427 --> 01:34:19,307
Speaker 19: comes off a line and they end up in this

1940
01:34:19,427 --> 01:34:22,707
Speaker 19: funnel and they've got to make that turn, and odds

1941
01:34:22,747 --> 01:34:25,307
Speaker 19: are if you can get to that first turn in

1942
01:34:25,387 --> 01:34:27,507
Speaker 19: the top half of the fleet, you've got a good

1943
01:34:27,587 --> 01:34:30,547
Speaker 19: shot at sort of getting clean and breaking away from

1944
01:34:30,587 --> 01:34:33,507
Speaker 19: the pack. But I think looking at the conditions this weekend,

1945
01:34:33,667 --> 01:34:35,147
Speaker 19: it's going to be a bit of a minefield. Like

1946
01:34:35,227 --> 01:34:37,187
Speaker 19: the breeze is looking like it'll be out of the south,

1947
01:34:37,667 --> 01:34:40,467
Speaker 19: be coming straight through the city, and it'll be really

1948
01:34:40,587 --> 01:34:43,027
Speaker 19: really patchy, a lot of wind, and then so I

1949
01:34:43,147 --> 01:34:45,667
Speaker 19: think there'll be a lot of overtaking opportunities.

1950
01:34:46,267 --> 01:34:48,587
Speaker 2: You mentioned two world class drivers. Absolutely how we're going

1951
01:34:48,667 --> 01:34:50,387
Speaker 2: to see this one at all in twenty twenty six.

1952
01:34:51,747 --> 01:34:54,307
Speaker 19: Man, I think I'm like the sort of a fourth

1953
01:34:54,347 --> 01:34:58,427
Speaker 19: string quarterback that have to be a lot of guys

1954
01:34:58,427 --> 01:35:00,627
Speaker 19: and girls go down. Before I dusted the jacket off,

1955
01:35:00,627 --> 01:35:02,547
Speaker 19: I think, do you miss the sprain your face?

1956
01:35:03,267 --> 01:35:03,907
Speaker 2: One hundred percent?

1957
01:35:04,027 --> 01:35:07,667
Speaker 19: The competition, you know, I just love the feeling when

1958
01:35:07,707 --> 01:35:10,227
Speaker 19: you're wake up, that mix of nerves and excitement and

1959
01:35:10,987 --> 01:35:14,027
Speaker 19: all mixed together, and just getting to go against the

1960
01:35:14,107 --> 01:35:17,787
Speaker 19: best in the world. I mean, that was that uncomfortable

1961
01:35:17,827 --> 01:35:21,707
Speaker 19: feeling that was so rewarding, you know, being humbled, and

1962
01:35:21,787 --> 01:35:23,747
Speaker 19: then the days when you do pull it off and

1963
01:35:23,787 --> 01:35:26,547
Speaker 19: get it right, it was really you know, really some

1964
01:35:26,667 --> 01:35:28,987
Speaker 19: of the best moments you can have. And so at

1965
01:35:29,027 --> 01:35:31,227
Speaker 19: the same time, I've got to say I have enjoyed

1966
01:35:31,867 --> 01:35:34,747
Speaker 19: finding a different set of challenges and you know, from

1967
01:35:35,027 --> 01:35:37,747
Speaker 19: running the team to investors, to the commercial side and

1968
01:35:37,827 --> 01:35:43,107
Speaker 19: the sponsorship and having a detached view now of let's say,

1969
01:35:43,147 --> 01:35:46,307
Speaker 19: the racing because these boats you kind of are like

1970
01:35:46,427 --> 01:35:48,387
Speaker 19: a horse with the blinkers on. You know, you're just

1971
01:35:48,667 --> 01:35:52,547
Speaker 19: in the zone and you can't see much anyway stepping off.

1972
01:35:52,827 --> 01:35:55,147
Speaker 19: It's amazing what you see when you're kind of detached

1973
01:35:55,187 --> 01:35:57,707
Speaker 19: and see a bit of a global view. So yeah,

1974
01:35:58,027 --> 01:36:00,107
Speaker 19: I'm finding it fascinating and I'm going out of my

1975
01:36:00,147 --> 01:36:03,387
Speaker 19: comfort zone in different ways now, but just as rewarding.

1976
01:36:03,507 --> 01:36:04,787
Speaker 19: And yeah, just always learning.

1977
01:36:05,507 --> 01:36:07,547
Speaker 2: Great to see all to Red Bull Italy for the

1978
01:36:07,587 --> 01:36:10,307
Speaker 2: weekend and yeah, awesome to have you back here. Yeah,

1979
01:36:10,347 --> 01:36:13,027
Speaker 2: good to see you again. Thanks again, no, thank you, Jimmy.

1980
01:36:13,067 --> 01:36:16,267
Speaker 2: Jimmy Spiddle there joining a CEO of Red Bull Italy

1981
01:36:17,107 --> 01:36:19,027
Speaker 2: and from the sounds of it, they're not a man

1982
01:36:19,027 --> 01:36:20,787
Speaker 2: who's going to get out driving the boat, but set

1983
01:36:20,867 --> 01:36:24,227
Speaker 2: to have a huge influence on the Italian team across

1984
01:36:24,267 --> 01:36:27,827
Speaker 2: this sale GP season. It is two twenty we'll get

1985
01:36:27,827 --> 01:36:30,667
Speaker 2: inside the defending champion camp shortly, let's get you back

1986
01:36:30,707 --> 01:36:33,867
Speaker 2: though to the Coast to Coast longest day. Hamish Elliott

1987
01:36:33,907 --> 01:36:36,627
Speaker 2: and Hannah Lund with the respect of men's and women's

1988
01:36:36,707 --> 01:36:39,587
Speaker 2: leaders on the Kayak League. Last time we caught up

1989
01:36:39,627 --> 01:36:42,387
Speaker 2: with Brian Ashby who joins us. Now, gash what's the latest?

1990
01:36:42,427 --> 01:36:44,587
Speaker 2: What can you tell us about the leaders and those

1991
01:36:44,587 --> 01:36:45,267
Speaker 2: who are chasing.

1992
01:36:46,067 --> 01:36:48,987
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're bruning alongside me and yeah you mentioned Jimmy

1993
01:36:48,987 --> 01:36:51,387
Speaker 10: Spiddle and his red Bull's got wings will so as

1994
01:36:51,467 --> 01:36:54,427
Speaker 10: our men's race leader that is still Hamous Elliott. We're

1995
01:36:54,427 --> 01:36:58,387
Speaker 10: at Woodstock about forty minutes from the end of the

1996
01:36:58,907 --> 01:37:01,227
Speaker 10: of the Kayak League. It's the first sort of opportunity

1997
01:37:01,307 --> 01:37:03,107
Speaker 10: that you do get to see the peddlers as they

1998
01:37:03,147 --> 01:37:06,387
Speaker 10: come out of the way. Wey Macerari gorge area and

1999
01:37:06,667 --> 01:37:11,187
Speaker 10: Hamus Elliott still in control the Brunton. You're a kaiak specialist.

2000
01:37:11,187 --> 01:37:12,867
Speaker 10: How do you think he looked, you know, he looked

2001
01:37:12,907 --> 01:37:16,387
Speaker 10: at it. He was drinking, He had a good k cadence.

2002
01:37:16,467 --> 01:37:17,667
Speaker 12: He stands high.

2003
01:37:18,147 --> 01:37:20,427
Speaker 10: They have to come through a really shallow area, so

2004
01:37:20,507 --> 01:37:22,107
Speaker 10: it does slow them down a lot and they do

2005
01:37:22,267 --> 01:37:24,907
Speaker 10: have to ben flatten out their paddle because the water

2006
01:37:25,027 --> 01:37:25,627
Speaker 10: is so shallow.

2007
01:37:26,187 --> 01:37:27,547
Speaker 12: But no, he was looking really good.

2008
01:37:27,747 --> 01:37:30,427
Speaker 10: That's through the little time check mark is a wee channel.

2009
01:37:30,427 --> 01:37:32,187
Speaker 12: They have to go through their pioney.

2010
01:37:32,267 --> 01:37:35,387
Speaker 10: So last information here in terms of Sam Manson, who

2011
01:37:35,547 --> 01:37:37,947
Speaker 10: by the way, as a kaya constructor, so he's really

2012
01:37:37,947 --> 01:37:40,107
Speaker 10: good on the river. This guy, it was about fifteen

2013
01:37:40,147 --> 01:37:42,787
Speaker 10: minutes down, fifteen or sixteen minutes down. But I think

2014
01:37:42,787 --> 01:37:44,227
Speaker 10: that he may have made up some ground. In fact,

2015
01:37:44,267 --> 01:37:46,787
Speaker 10: I'm looking up stream and I can see a pedal

2016
01:37:46,827 --> 01:37:48,947
Speaker 10: behind a shingle banking and just see the blade flashing

2017
01:37:48,987 --> 01:37:53,227
Speaker 10: a weaver. Seems to be a reasonable turn over. Doubting

2018
01:37:53,267 --> 01:37:55,147
Speaker 10: that it would have been a lot of ground to

2019
01:37:55,147 --> 01:37:58,227
Speaker 10: make up if it is Sam Manson already at this point,

2020
01:37:58,267 --> 01:38:00,147
Speaker 10: but we'll just keep an eye on that. If you

2021
01:38:00,187 --> 01:38:01,987
Speaker 10: can stick with us for a moment, Piny, we might

2022
01:38:02,027 --> 01:38:06,987
Speaker 10: get to see. If it is Sam Manson, he's real ground.

2023
01:38:07,067 --> 01:38:11,147
Speaker 10: Some serious tims women don't give you any sort of

2024
01:38:11,227 --> 01:38:14,107
Speaker 10: fresh information. They're up seeing the through an area called

2025
01:38:14,147 --> 01:38:17,867
Speaker 10: Hamilton Rapid. This we know is that Hannah Lant is

2026
01:38:17,947 --> 01:38:20,587
Speaker 10: still in front. But as we mentioned in our last

2027
01:38:20,627 --> 01:38:25,387
Speaker 10: report with you, it's interesting. Rebecca Kingsford is beat here

2028
01:38:25,467 --> 01:38:29,147
Speaker 10: by twelve minutes in the White Macerari Classic back in December,

2029
01:38:29,467 --> 01:38:31,827
Speaker 10: and there was a twelve minute gap before behind between

2030
01:38:31,867 --> 01:38:34,427
Speaker 10: them at the start of the kayak, so that sets

2031
01:38:34,467 --> 01:38:36,507
Speaker 10: it up for an absolute cracker of variation. Of course,

2032
01:38:36,907 --> 01:38:39,507
Speaker 10: some other real rock star women up there as well

2033
01:38:39,707 --> 01:38:43,147
Speaker 10: Aretha Taylor, Debra Lynch, the defending champion, Emily Travail going

2034
01:38:43,267 --> 01:38:44,067
Speaker 10: very very well.

2035
01:38:44,067 --> 01:38:47,227
Speaker 12: As at this point in the race as well. Just

2036
01:38:47,307 --> 01:38:49,067
Speaker 12: looking behind, just waiting for the river.

2037
01:38:49,507 --> 01:38:51,467
Speaker 10: That padler that I mentioned the blades that we could

2038
01:38:51,507 --> 01:38:53,987
Speaker 10: see flashing behind the single bank. They're going to emerge

2039
01:38:54,027 --> 01:38:56,787
Speaker 10: from sort of behind a we ridgeline and some rocks

2040
01:38:56,827 --> 01:38:58,947
Speaker 10: in a moment and we'll be able to confirm whether

2041
01:38:59,107 --> 01:39:02,187
Speaker 10: or not that is our second place. Pat Lui san

2042
01:39:02,307 --> 01:39:08,667
Speaker 10: Manson coming through now, Tevil, he's going, he's got a

2043
01:39:08,787 --> 01:39:10,747
Speaker 10: high cadence. Whoever it is it's coming through.

2044
01:39:11,267 --> 01:39:11,947
Speaker 12: Let's have a look.

2045
01:39:12,227 --> 01:39:15,427
Speaker 10: And the boat that he's peddling.

2046
01:39:15,147 --> 01:39:20,747
Speaker 12: There is that, Yes, was on a black boat. I'll

2047
01:39:20,747 --> 01:39:23,467
Speaker 12: just go out and check. Hang on, so Dick run

2048
01:39:23,547 --> 01:39:29,307
Speaker 12: to the work for it's not Sam Manx.

2049
01:39:29,467 --> 01:39:32,147
Speaker 10: So we've built up for your Pioney as we have

2050
01:39:32,547 --> 01:39:37,787
Speaker 10: you down badly it is, in fact the number. It's

2051
01:39:37,787 --> 01:39:41,107
Speaker 10: a two days competitor from way back where I've done

2052
01:39:41,267 --> 01:39:43,147
Speaker 10: I'm giving I've given you a shock of the poney.

2053
01:39:43,187 --> 01:39:47,627
Speaker 10: But anyway Clark might it might in fact hang on,

2054
01:39:48,027 --> 01:39:49,867
Speaker 10: it could in fact be Sam Clark, because we've got

2055
01:39:50,187 --> 01:39:53,227
Speaker 10: three person one day teams. If you can, I can

2056
01:39:53,267 --> 01:39:55,227
Speaker 10: teach on this a little bit later on the play.

2057
01:39:55,427 --> 01:39:57,507
Speaker 10: There's a rock star three person team in the one

2058
01:39:57,587 --> 01:40:01,467
Speaker 10: day race, Sam Clark, four times champion, and it is

2059
01:40:01,587 --> 01:40:04,547
Speaker 10: Sam Clark. Carrin o'donald's in that team. She won the

2060
01:40:04,627 --> 01:40:08,827
Speaker 10: race around about twenty I think. And Paul Gower a

2061
01:40:08,947 --> 01:40:12,347
Speaker 10: very good competitor as well, so very strong team and

2062
01:40:12,427 --> 01:40:15,227
Speaker 10: they will be leading the mixed teams competition.

2063
01:40:15,347 --> 01:40:15,787
Speaker 20: So there you go.

2064
01:40:15,867 --> 01:40:16,827
Speaker 10: It wasn't all for nothing.

2065
01:40:17,387 --> 01:40:20,387
Speaker 2: It was that is what we come to you for.

2066
01:40:20,947 --> 01:40:24,227

2092
01:41:41,107 --> 01:41:44,707
Speaker 2: Let's get you to the defending sal GP champions. Emirates

2093
01:41:44,747 --> 01:41:48,347
Speaker 2: Great Britain topped the twenty twenty five season rankings heading

2094
01:41:48,387 --> 01:41:50,987
Speaker 2: into the Grand Final, having been the strongest and most

2095
01:41:51,027 --> 01:41:54,587
Speaker 2: consistent team throughout last season. They raced superbly in the

2096
01:41:54,627 --> 01:41:58,187
Speaker 2: three boat final to move from last to first, clinching

2097
01:41:58,227 --> 01:42:02,467
Speaker 2: their championship victory ahead of Australia and New Zealand's Black Foils,

2098
01:42:02,587 --> 01:42:04,267
Speaker 2: and they picked up where they left off in the

2099
01:42:04,307 --> 01:42:08,307
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six season opener in Perth, arriving as champions

2100
01:42:08,387 --> 01:42:11,467
Speaker 2: and leaving as the clear benchmark of the fleet, holding

2101
01:42:11,507 --> 01:42:14,867
Speaker 2: off Australia and France in the final two weeks ago.

2102
01:42:14,947 --> 01:42:18,787
Speaker 2: Their driver is an Olympic gold medalist in twenty twenty

2103
01:42:18,867 --> 01:42:22,547
Speaker 2: one in Tokyo in the forty niner class alongside Stuart Bithel,

2104
01:42:22,667 --> 01:42:25,107
Speaker 2: who actually joins him in this Emirate's Great Britain sale

2105
01:42:25,187 --> 01:42:29,027
Speaker 2: GP team. They won gold that year silver at the

2106
01:42:29,147 --> 01:42:32,707
Speaker 2: Tokyo Olympics. Peter Berling and Blair Chuk. Of course, he

2107
01:42:32,867 --> 01:42:35,987
Speaker 2: is a sailor known for his sharp instincts, calm decision

2108
01:42:36,067 --> 01:42:39,307
Speaker 2: making and fierce competitiveness at the highest level of the

2109
01:42:39,347 --> 01:42:41,707
Speaker 2: sport and the man now leading one of the most

2110
01:42:41,787 --> 01:42:46,307
Speaker 2: consistent teams in SALGP. Talking of course about Dylan Fletcher

2111
01:42:46,587 --> 01:42:48,427
Speaker 2: who joins us now, Dylan, thanks for your time. Does

2112
01:42:48,507 --> 01:42:51,947
Speaker 2: it feel different being being the hunted rather than the

2113
01:42:52,307 --> 01:42:54,227
Speaker 2: hunter in sal GP this year?

2114
01:42:56,867 --> 01:42:58,907
Speaker 20: Not really, to be honest, I think that you know,

2115
01:42:59,107 --> 01:43:02,627
Speaker 20: so many top teams and especially Ben here in Orkland.

2116
01:43:02,667 --> 01:43:04,587
Speaker 20: We know is a huge amount of support for the

2117
01:43:04,627 --> 01:43:06,787
Speaker 20: Black Boilers and maybe a few last port for us,

2118
01:43:06,867 --> 01:43:08,827
Speaker 20: but we're just go out there to give it everything

2119
01:43:08,867 --> 01:43:09,627
Speaker 20: and do what we can.

2120
01:43:09,627 --> 01:43:12,627
Speaker 2: To have a good day. You won the season opening

2121
01:43:12,667 --> 01:43:15,427
Speaker 2: event in Perth obviously, so you've picked up where your

2122
01:43:15,507 --> 01:43:18,427
Speaker 2: left off. How satisfying was it to start the new

2123
01:43:18,627 --> 01:43:20,547
Speaker 2: calendar year with victory in Perth?

2124
01:43:22,467 --> 01:43:25,307
Speaker 20: It was great, to be honest, especially bringing stud of

2125
01:43:25,347 --> 01:43:28,307
Speaker 20: my old forty nine er teammate back in and him

2126
01:43:28,387 --> 01:43:30,507
Speaker 20: on the wing. So to get the win now, you know,

2127
01:43:30,747 --> 01:43:34,147
Speaker 20: men an awful lot, but ultimately we you know caveat

2128
01:43:34,227 --> 01:43:37,507
Speaker 20: is obviously the Spanish and the Blatforms weren't sailing, so

2129
01:43:37,667 --> 01:43:39,587
Speaker 20: we know we're missing two top teams and we need

2130
01:43:39,707 --> 01:43:41,467
Speaker 20: to keep up in our game, and it's going to

2131
01:43:41,467 --> 01:43:43,307
Speaker 20: be a difficult one out here in Auckland.

2132
01:43:44,027 --> 01:43:46,707
Speaker 2: What did you do particularly well in Perth that you

2133
01:43:46,747 --> 01:43:49,787
Speaker 2: would like to be able to replicate? Obviously, conditions you

2134
01:43:49,867 --> 01:43:52,267
Speaker 2: know need to be the same, obviously, and they may

2135
01:43:52,347 --> 01:43:54,027
Speaker 2: not be. But what did you do well in Perth

2136
01:43:54,067 --> 01:43:55,507
Speaker 2: that you'd like to replicate this weekend?

2137
01:43:57,147 --> 01:44:00,307
Speaker 20: I think we were quite fast, we had good boat handling.

2138
01:44:00,947 --> 01:44:04,787
Speaker 20: Ultimately we were didn't start very well, which was ladders

2139
01:44:04,827 --> 01:44:06,947
Speaker 20: down until the final when we manage to deliver. But

2140
01:44:07,067 --> 01:44:09,907
Speaker 20: I think we've been talking a lot about working on

2141
01:44:09,987 --> 01:44:12,147
Speaker 20: our starts and just trying to stay out of trouble

2142
01:44:12,347 --> 01:44:16,947
Speaker 20: and ultimately avoid crashing into any of which is quite difficult.

2143
01:44:16,987 --> 01:44:19,467
Speaker 20: When we got thirteen boats about a tight race course here.

2144
01:44:19,987 --> 01:44:21,707
Speaker 2: I was going to ask that, actually, because for the

2145
01:44:21,747 --> 01:44:25,507
Speaker 2: first time all thirteen will be there, do you strategize

2146
01:44:25,707 --> 01:44:28,827
Speaker 2: specifically to make sure that you stay out of trouble?

2147
01:44:29,347 --> 01:44:30,147
Speaker 2: You know at the start?

2148
01:44:32,187 --> 01:44:34,987
Speaker 20: Yeah, we certainly. I guess it's that brisk dial and

2149
01:44:35,147 --> 01:44:38,787
Speaker 20: ultimately looking at being prepared to back off our situations

2150
01:44:38,827 --> 01:44:41,547
Speaker 20: and maybe give up some meters to ensure that, you know,

2151
01:44:41,627 --> 01:44:43,187
Speaker 20: we keep the boat and the crew safe and we

2152
01:44:43,267 --> 01:44:44,387
Speaker 20: live to fight another day.

2153
01:44:45,987 --> 01:44:48,987
Speaker 2: As getting clean air still the most important thing once

2154
01:44:49,067 --> 01:44:53,987
Speaker 2: the race is underway, or does raw speed sometimes override

2155
01:44:54,427 --> 01:44:55,347
Speaker 2: where you're positioned.

2156
01:44:57,267 --> 01:44:59,747
Speaker 20: I think it's like anything. It's a typical sailboat race,

2157
01:44:59,867 --> 01:45:02,547
Speaker 20: so just trying to balance all of them. I mean,

2158
01:45:02,627 --> 01:45:05,467
Speaker 20: ultimately on this race course here where you know, we've

2159
01:45:05,467 --> 01:45:08,787
Speaker 20: got that southwest south southwest, so it's super shifty coming

2160
01:45:08,827 --> 01:45:10,667
Speaker 20: off the city, and so I think it's going to

2161
01:45:10,667 --> 01:45:13,227
Speaker 20: be about ensuring we're on the lifted tack more than anything.

2162
01:45:13,587 --> 01:45:15,507
Speaker 20: So I think maybe sailing and gas this week it

2163
01:45:15,587 --> 01:45:16,347
Speaker 20: might be the right thing.

2164
01:45:16,747 --> 01:45:19,507
Speaker 2: So when you're at there driving, how much of your

2165
01:45:19,587 --> 01:45:23,347
Speaker 2: driving in theyear fifty is instinct against what you get

2166
01:45:23,427 --> 01:45:25,867
Speaker 2: in terms of data in the way you pre plan.

2167
01:45:28,587 --> 01:45:31,267
Speaker 20: Most of it's instinct, to be honest. We certainly discuss

2168
01:45:31,347 --> 01:45:34,267
Speaker 20: our route plan and our optimal route as you would

2169
01:45:34,307 --> 01:45:36,427
Speaker 20: sort of in any typical sailing race. And yes we

2170
01:45:36,547 --> 01:45:38,907
Speaker 20: have that data on the screen, but a lot of

2171
01:45:38,987 --> 01:45:41,787
Speaker 20: it is helping us in terms of it's difficult to

2172
01:45:41,827 --> 01:45:44,867
Speaker 20: tell the difference between sixty kilometers now and sixty two

2173
01:45:44,947 --> 01:45:47,667
Speaker 20: kilometers now, whereas you know in your little sailboat it's

2174
01:45:47,707 --> 01:45:50,307
Speaker 20: far easier to pick up on those differences. So I

2175
01:45:50,347 --> 01:45:51,947
Speaker 20: guess the data is really just there as like an

2176
01:45:51,947 --> 01:45:55,147
Speaker 20: additional sense for us to understand what's going on. But

2177
01:45:55,427 --> 01:45:57,507
Speaker 20: ultimately it all comes down to ouring instincts.

2178
01:45:58,187 --> 01:46:00,987
Speaker 2: Are we close to the limit of what these boats

2179
01:46:01,027 --> 01:46:04,187
Speaker 2: can do? They seem to get faster and faster incrementally.

2180
01:46:04,547 --> 01:46:06,147
Speaker 2: Are we close to the limits or not?

2181
01:46:08,587 --> 01:46:08,947
Speaker 4: I don't know.

2182
01:46:09,027 --> 01:46:10,787
Speaker 20: I mean, to be honest, I still think there's there's

2183
01:46:10,907 --> 01:46:13,347
Speaker 20: plenty more to come. We we don't get a huge

2184
01:46:13,347 --> 01:46:15,467
Speaker 20: amount of training in these in these boats, and so

2185
01:46:15,987 --> 01:46:18,747
Speaker 20: the whole fleet is getting better. Everythingle every single time

2186
01:46:18,827 --> 01:46:21,187
Speaker 20: we sail. I mean, we'll see how the how the

2187
01:46:21,267 --> 01:46:23,627
Speaker 20: breeze plays out this weekend. It could be could be

2188
01:46:23,707 --> 01:46:26,467
Speaker 20: real top end potentially the breediest conditions we sell them,

2189
01:46:26,507 --> 01:46:27,947
Speaker 20: but you know, as we know here, it can be

2190
01:46:28,227 --> 01:46:29,147
Speaker 20: a little bit of anything.

2191
01:46:30,067 --> 01:46:33,187
Speaker 2: And how do you stop expectation which there is now

2192
01:46:33,267 --> 01:46:36,707
Speaker 2: on your team from turning into into pressure which might

2193
01:46:36,827 --> 01:46:38,027
Speaker 2: not be helpful.

2194
01:46:39,707 --> 01:46:42,427
Speaker 20: I think there is always expectation and that pressure on

2195
01:46:42,507 --> 01:46:45,187
Speaker 20: our shoulders. I think ultimately a sports people, that's what

2196
01:46:45,307 --> 01:46:48,107
Speaker 20: we love. We do love that pressure. But thinking sour Gpe,

2197
01:46:48,227 --> 01:46:50,907
Speaker 20: we have to remember it's a long season and there's

2198
01:46:51,067 --> 01:46:52,627
Speaker 20: the best sailors in the world out here, so we

2199
01:46:52,747 --> 01:46:54,787
Speaker 20: just need to try and deliver our best and that

2200
01:46:54,827 --> 01:46:56,187
Speaker 20: will put us where we are at the end of

2201
01:46:56,227 --> 01:46:56,667
Speaker 20: the day.

2202
01:46:57,267 --> 01:46:59,547
Speaker 2: And just to finish on. Do you ever, actually when

2203
01:46:59,587 --> 01:47:01,827
Speaker 2: you're out there racing, do you get a moment even

2204
01:47:01,867 --> 01:47:05,347
Speaker 2: a split sick and to actually enjoy it as it's

2205
01:47:05,387 --> 01:47:07,987
Speaker 2: hippening or right? You just too busy out there to

2206
01:47:08,107 --> 01:47:10,787
Speaker 2: have any sense of enjoyment as you are racing.

2207
01:47:12,627 --> 01:47:15,027
Speaker 20: I know we certainly do have times, you know, occasional

2208
01:47:15,107 --> 01:47:17,507
Speaker 20: moments to enjoy it. I think, as with anything, it's

2209
01:47:17,507 --> 01:47:20,347
Speaker 20: always more fun when you're winning, but especially you know,

2210
01:47:20,347 --> 01:47:22,627
Speaker 20: when we're racing these boats in the top end conditions,

2211
01:47:22,787 --> 01:47:25,467
Speaker 20: last and long at nineteen hundred k and hour definitely

2212
01:47:25,467 --> 01:47:26,507
Speaker 20: puts a smile on your face.

2213
01:47:26,867 --> 01:47:28,507
Speaker 2: I bet it does. I bet it does well. Looking

2214
01:47:28,547 --> 01:47:31,347
Speaker 2: forward to seeing you out on Watamata Harbor and Auckland

2215
01:47:31,347 --> 01:47:33,147
Speaker 2: across the weekend. Dylan, thanks so much for joining us

2216
01:47:33,147 --> 01:47:37,107
Speaker 2: and all the best. Thank you, Thank you mate. That

2217
01:47:37,227 --> 01:47:40,787
Speaker 2: is Dylan Fletcher. He is the driver of Emirates Great Britain.

2218
01:47:41,107 --> 01:47:44,067
Speaker 2: They are the defending champions after winning the three boat

2219
01:47:44,147 --> 01:47:47,907
Speaker 2: final last year and they let off in Perth by

2220
01:47:47,947 --> 01:47:50,427
Speaker 2: finishing top there as well, so it's not as though

2221
01:47:50,427 --> 01:47:53,627
Speaker 2: they're eased off. If anything, they've chucked a line in

2222
01:47:53,667 --> 01:47:55,267
Speaker 2: the sand or in the water, as it were, to

2223
01:47:56,027 --> 01:47:58,027
Speaker 2: show that they're going to be another of the teams

2224
01:47:58,067 --> 01:47:59,547
Speaker 2: to beat or one of the teams to beat in

2225
01:47:59,667 --> 01:48:03,267
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. A team hoping that they will climb

2226
01:48:03,507 --> 01:48:06,347
Speaker 2: the leader board in twenty twenty six is the United States,

2227
01:48:06,907 --> 01:48:09,227
Speaker 2: who finished at the foot of the table last year.

2228
01:48:09,307 --> 01:48:12,227
Speaker 2: We'll talk to their driver shortly, Taylor Canfield, but let's

2229
01:48:12,227 --> 01:48:16,067
Speaker 2: get you back to Royal Wellington Golf Course where the

2230
01:48:16,227 --> 01:48:20,387
Speaker 2: Women's Amateur Asia Pacific Golf Championship is happening. We're into

2231
01:48:20,427 --> 01:48:22,787
Speaker 2: the third day, Steve, where has been keeping an eye

2232
01:48:22,787 --> 01:48:26,187
Speaker 2: on things for us right across the afternoon and joins us. Now, Steve,

2233
01:48:26,227 --> 01:48:27,787
Speaker 2: what's the lighter? You can tell us about the lead

2234
01:48:27,787 --> 01:48:29,627
Speaker 2: aboard the look of it and the kiwis.

2235
01:48:30,067 --> 01:48:34,347
Speaker 5: Yeah, it looks very similar, Jason. The three Korean teammates

2236
01:48:34,667 --> 01:48:37,187
Speaker 5: are stretching their lead human being Kim is now at

2237
01:48:37,227 --> 01:48:40,347
Speaker 5: minus twelve and so Yung who was overnight leaders at

2238
01:48:40,387 --> 01:48:42,987
Speaker 5: minus twelve, and Sum and Oh, the highest ranked player

2239
01:48:43,067 --> 01:48:46,387
Speaker 5: world number ten and minus eleven. They've opened up five

2240
01:48:46,507 --> 01:48:50,187
Speaker 5: and four shots lead over the next two players, respectively,

2241
01:48:50,707 --> 01:48:53,307
Speaker 5: and then it's kind of a bit of daylight between

2242
01:48:53,387 --> 01:48:56,507
Speaker 5: those with Kiwi girls. Dari Chung's just finished up. I

2243
01:48:56,547 --> 01:48:59,147
Speaker 5: watched a earlier a couple of the last three holes

2244
01:48:59,707 --> 01:49:01,907
Speaker 5: get finished on minus one for plus one on a

2245
01:49:01,947 --> 01:49:05,667
Speaker 5: tournament tied twenty second along with the best other Kiwi girl,

2246
01:49:05,787 --> 01:49:08,907
Speaker 5: Teresa Wayne at plus one, also shot minus one. But

2247
01:49:08,987 --> 01:49:11,107
Speaker 5: our little story that we continue telling you, at least

2248
01:49:11,147 --> 01:49:13,987
Speaker 5: Barber's gone to her back nine, which is the front nine,

2249
01:49:14,067 --> 01:49:16,707
Speaker 5: much harder nine of the golf course. She's just birdied

2250
01:49:16,747 --> 01:49:19,707
Speaker 5: the very toughest told me, the toughest course on the

2251
01:49:19,747 --> 01:49:22,947
Speaker 5: whole hole on the course today and she's got three

2252
01:49:23,027 --> 01:49:25,827
Speaker 5: downwind holes and just a night to finish up. Still

2253
01:49:25,867 --> 01:49:29,387
Speaker 5: sit even on around and tide thirty seventh. So it's

2254
01:49:29,507 --> 01:49:30,587
Speaker 5: just the story of the story.

2255
01:49:31,067 --> 01:49:34,507
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Steve, has the course changed much? You know for

2256
01:49:34,547 --> 01:49:37,467
Speaker 2: the regulars at Royal Wellington if they went to play

2257
01:49:37,507 --> 01:49:40,387
Speaker 2: it today, would it be much different from what they

2258
01:49:40,507 --> 01:49:42,587
Speaker 2: strike in the other fifty one weeks.

2259
01:49:42,387 --> 01:49:42,747
Speaker 13: Of the year.

2260
01:49:44,027 --> 01:49:44,667
Speaker 6: Yeah, certainly.

2261
01:49:45,507 --> 01:49:48,387
Speaker 5: The general area is just well classed, but there's not

2262
01:49:48,547 --> 01:49:51,107
Speaker 5: one ounce of Martin paint down for any ground under

2263
01:49:51,147 --> 01:49:53,907
Speaker 5: a pair or areas that are less than perfect. The

2264
01:49:53,987 --> 01:49:57,107
Speaker 5: fairways a carpet so that they would normally have them good,

2265
01:49:57,187 --> 01:50:01,027
Speaker 5: but they're tea or green level now, and the greens

2266
01:50:01,027 --> 01:50:03,667
Speaker 5: are quicker and they would notice the pin cut positions.

2267
01:50:03,987 --> 01:50:05,747
Speaker 5: They wouldn't want to be playing them on their Thursday

2268
01:50:05,787 --> 01:50:10,347
Speaker 5: haggle Nut looks similar, but certainly at a play much

2269
01:50:10,427 --> 01:50:13,067
Speaker 5: tougher and enjoyable in some sense. The fairways are just

2270
01:50:13,227 --> 01:50:13,787
Speaker 5: generous and.

2271
01:50:15,467 --> 01:50:18,907
Speaker 2: Just a picture, just autstanding. Steve, really appreciate your reports

2272
01:50:18,947 --> 01:50:21,067
Speaker 2: this afternoon. We'll get you back on tomorrow for the

2273
01:50:21,187 --> 01:50:23,707
Speaker 2: fourth and final round, but thanks so much for giving

2274

Speaker 2: us the insight in the updates. This afternoon, that is, Steve,

01:51:04,987 --> 01:51:08,587
Speaker 2: eight through twenty nine, So thirteen events. I know that

2286
01:51:08,907 --> 01:51:11,467
Speaker 2: Sir Russell Kotz was very keen to expand that number.

2287
01:51:11,827 --> 01:51:14,987
Speaker 2: He talked often about the comparison with Formula one racing.

2288
01:51:15,347 --> 01:51:17,387
Speaker 2: What do they have about twenty twenty one Grand Prix

2289
01:51:17,507 --> 01:51:20,867
Speaker 2: across a year. It's a much more palatable proposition for

2290
01:51:20,947 --> 01:51:25,027
Speaker 2: broadcasters and I'm sure for competitors as well. So are

2291
01:51:25,027 --> 01:51:26,987
Speaker 2: we going to get to the point where sale GP

2292
01:51:27,227 --> 01:51:29,987
Speaker 2: has as many events as Formula One? I guess that's

2293
01:51:30,067 --> 01:51:34,187
Speaker 2: probably in the in the goal setting list for the

2294
01:51:34,267 --> 01:51:37,067
Speaker 2: powers that be at sale GP, and adding more teams

2295
01:51:37,107 --> 01:51:39,707
Speaker 2: as well. I know when we spoke to to Russell

2296
01:51:39,747 --> 01:51:41,507
Speaker 2: Cooks last year he was keen to get up to

2297
01:51:41,587 --> 01:51:44,747
Speaker 2: fourteen teams. And then they start thinking about a split fleet.

2298
01:51:45,067 --> 01:51:48,987
Speaker 2: You have two seven boat fleet races instead of one

2299
01:51:49,347 --> 01:51:51,507
Speaker 2: with thirteen, as we're going to have this afternoon or

2300
01:51:51,547 --> 01:51:53,987
Speaker 2: all of these races with thirteen, so be very very

2301
01:51:54,027 --> 01:51:56,587
Speaker 2: interesting to talk to to Russell Cooks tomorrow just after

2302
01:51:56,667 --> 01:51:59,987
Speaker 2: midday to get all the insight on that twenty two

2303
01:52:00,067 --> 01:52:01,787
Speaker 2: to three When we come back though, it's into the

2304

Speaker 2: respected tacticians in world sailing, a world match racing champion,

2319
01:52:56,747 --> 01:52:58,747
Speaker 2: it joins us now, Taylor, thanks for joining us. Fair

2320
01:52:58,787 --> 01:53:01,587
Speaker 2: to say it was a roller coaster for the US

2321
01:53:01,667 --> 01:53:04,107
Speaker 2: team in twenty twenty five, plenty of ups and quite

2322
01:53:04,107 --> 01:53:06,107
Speaker 2: a few downs as well. What has been your biggest

2323
01:53:06,427 --> 01:53:08,867
Speaker 2: focus I heard of twenty twenty six.

2324
01:53:10,427 --> 01:53:13,067
Speaker 21: Yeah, happy to have a fresh start, if you will.

2325
01:53:13,787 --> 01:53:17,427
Speaker 21: We're excited about the new season, and yeah, you said it,

2326
01:53:17,507 --> 01:53:20,187
Speaker 21: it was a roller coaster and you know a lot

2327
01:53:20,187 --> 01:53:23,787
Speaker 21: of some crashes, some personnel changes, just a lot going

2328
01:53:23,827 --> 01:53:26,347
Speaker 21: on within the team internally. But we seem to be

2329
01:53:26,427 --> 01:53:28,387
Speaker 21: in a great place now and started off the season,

2330
01:53:28,587 --> 01:53:31,987
Speaker 21: you know, pretty strong in Perth, and yeah, I think

2331
01:53:31,987 --> 01:53:33,627
Speaker 21: we're in a great place. Given the time that we

2332
01:53:33,707 --> 01:53:35,907
Speaker 21: have together as a group, We've we've made some huge games,

2333
01:53:35,947 --> 01:53:39,867
Speaker 21: and yeah, I think our performance Saturday in Perth was

2334
01:53:40,787 --> 01:53:43,067
Speaker 21: definitely showed that we've made some good progress.

2335
01:53:43,467 --> 01:53:46,267
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yea third four third, third and then ninth date

2336
01:53:46,307 --> 01:53:48,987
Speaker 2: to ninth on the second day. So tell us about

2337
01:53:48,987 --> 01:53:50,387
Speaker 2: the first day and what went so well for you.

2338
01:53:51,507 --> 01:53:55,107
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think that day one slightly less win twenty

2339
01:53:55,147 --> 01:53:58,027
Speaker 21: four meters wing kind of that ap set up something

2340
01:53:58,027 --> 01:54:02,107
Speaker 21: we're a little more used to. And yeah, we felt

2341
01:54:02,147 --> 01:54:04,627
Speaker 21: like we just were really clicking and everything came together

2342
01:54:04,747 --> 01:54:07,707
Speaker 21: nicely and you know, kept it pretty smooth and just

2343
01:54:07,827 --> 01:54:12,347
Speaker 21: calms were you know, very very normal around the racetrack.

2344
01:54:11,987 --> 01:54:12,067
Speaker 13: And.

2345
01:54:13,667 --> 01:54:16,827
Speaker 21: Yeah, it felt it felt easy, you know, and to

2346
01:54:16,947 --> 01:54:18,667
Speaker 21: go out there and I think we passed boats in

2347
01:54:18,707 --> 01:54:21,627
Speaker 21: every race that day, so that that was a good positive,

2348
01:54:21,987 --> 01:54:24,867
Speaker 21: you know, movement for us and we're happy about that.

2349
01:54:25,347 --> 01:54:27,387
Speaker 2: Was there any reheating to do after last year? As

2350
01:54:27,427 --> 01:54:28,747
Speaker 2: you say it was it was up and down, you know,

2351
01:54:28,867 --> 01:54:31,627
Speaker 2: there was you know, there was a capsize, a collision

2352
01:54:31,907 --> 01:54:34,587
Speaker 2: in sassn It's wasn't there. But then you finished fifth

2353
01:54:34,627 --> 01:54:36,387
Speaker 2: in Abu Dubbi at the end, so there was certainly

2354
01:54:36,427 --> 01:54:39,867
Speaker 2: ups and downs. Was there any reseating, conscious reshating to

2355
01:54:39,947 --> 01:54:41,347
Speaker 2: be done at the end of twenty twenty five?

2356
01:54:42,547 --> 01:54:46,027
Speaker 21: No, nothing, anything drastic. The big thing for us is

2357
01:54:46,707 --> 01:54:50,067
Speaker 21: finding that next level consistency. We're just always looking to

2358
01:54:50,107 --> 01:54:52,827
Speaker 21: step up our game, that small bit because in this

2359
01:54:52,947 --> 01:54:56,667
Speaker 21: style racing, that that one little mistake is everything, and

2360
01:54:57,387 --> 01:54:59,467
Speaker 21: you know, one second you're on the on the podium

2361
01:54:59,507 --> 01:55:01,467
Speaker 21: in the race and you make one mistake and you're

2362
01:55:01,667 --> 01:55:04,107
Speaker 21: you know, seventh, seventh to eleventh, just like that, you know,

2363
01:55:04,267 --> 01:55:07,827
Speaker 21: So just sharpening up every area of the racecourse and

2364
01:55:08,307 --> 01:55:10,747
Speaker 21: trying to find those like big areas that will make

2365
01:55:10,747 --> 01:55:14,467
Speaker 21: the biggest difference. And one one that we focused on

2366
01:55:14,707 --> 01:55:17,467
Speaker 21: is just our general setup and and kind of our

2367
01:55:17,547 --> 01:55:20,787
Speaker 21: moating and the big breeze and then a few uh

2368
01:55:21,507 --> 01:55:23,827
Speaker 21: workarounds and some boat handling stuff that we were working

2369
01:55:23,907 --> 01:55:26,667
Speaker 21: on and it seemed to really click nicely for us

2370
01:55:26,707 --> 01:55:29,827
Speaker 21: and Perth. So happy to make that step, but we

2371
01:55:29,947 --> 01:55:30,787
Speaker 21: know we have more to come.

2372
01:55:31,347 --> 01:55:33,627
Speaker 2: So do you get bitter gains out of out of

2373
01:55:33,707 --> 01:55:37,067
Speaker 2: control at a consistency or just outright speed? Where can

2374
01:55:37,147 --> 01:55:38,667
Speaker 2: you get the biggest gains?

2375
01:55:40,907 --> 01:55:43,347
Speaker 21: Geez? I mean I think it depends on the venue

2376
01:55:43,347 --> 01:55:45,267
Speaker 21: a little bit and and kind of what the conditions are.

2377
01:55:45,387 --> 01:55:50,107
Speaker 21: And yeah, it's uh, you know, I think in Perth,

2378
01:55:50,147 --> 01:55:52,067
Speaker 21: for example, in the big waves of the big breeze

2379
01:55:52,107 --> 01:55:54,467
Speaker 21: and you know, staying in control and and you know

2380
01:55:54,627 --> 01:55:57,667
Speaker 21: not having that major and that maneuver and or that

2381
01:55:57,827 --> 01:56:01,747
Speaker 21: big crashdown into the water, you know, whereas in different

2382
01:56:01,867 --> 01:56:05,227
Speaker 21: racetracks when it's uh, you know, flatter water, more open racetrack,

2383
01:56:05,307 --> 01:56:08,747
Speaker 21: you know, trying to just really fine tune your moting

2384
01:56:08,827 --> 01:56:10,507
Speaker 21: and your speed and just get that a little bit

2385
01:56:10,547 --> 01:56:13,787
Speaker 21: more out of the boat. And then you know, on

2386
01:56:13,947 --> 01:56:16,387
Speaker 21: a day like tomorrow here in Perth, it's going to

2387
01:56:16,427 --> 01:56:19,467
Speaker 21: be about more transitioning and tactics and you know, the

2388
01:56:19,507 --> 01:56:22,507
Speaker 21: breeze coming off the land, and so I think it's

2389
01:56:22,667 --> 01:56:26,307
Speaker 21: very racetrack dependent on what we're looking to kind of

2390
01:56:26,427 --> 01:56:28,187
Speaker 21: improve on the weekend we do, you.

2391
01:56:28,227 --> 01:56:31,987
Speaker 2: Reckon the next one percent of performances is hiding in

2392
01:56:32,107 --> 01:56:32,627
Speaker 2: these boats.

2393
01:56:34,787 --> 01:56:37,587
Speaker 21: I think it's it comes a lot down to time,

2394
01:56:38,347 --> 01:56:40,187
Speaker 21: just getting the time that a lot of the other

2395
01:56:40,227 --> 01:56:42,467
Speaker 21: teams have had in these boats. You know, some of

2396
01:56:42,507 --> 01:56:45,067
Speaker 21: these teams have been sailing this style of boat since

2397
01:56:45,267 --> 01:56:48,387
Speaker 21: you know, the America's got back in Bermuda. And for

2398
01:56:48,507 --> 01:56:49,987
Speaker 21: a guy like me and some of the other guys

2399
01:56:50,027 --> 01:56:52,907
Speaker 21: on our team, it's you know, we're I think as

2400
01:56:52,947 --> 01:56:57,787
Speaker 21: a as a group, we're probably you know, maybe sixteen

2401
01:56:57,867 --> 01:57:02,947
Speaker 21: seventeen days together total. So yeah, just refining those you know,

2402
01:57:03,067 --> 01:57:05,667
Speaker 21: those tough moments and the communication around the racetrack and

2403
01:57:05,987 --> 01:57:10,547
Speaker 21: making the next good decision is is what it's all about.

2404
01:57:10,707 --> 01:57:13,107
Speaker 21: And the guys that have been doing this and and

2405
01:57:13,267 --> 01:57:16,507
Speaker 21: just sailing the boat for them is second nature, whereas

2406
01:57:16,547 --> 01:57:18,347
Speaker 21: like we still have to sail the boat and make

2407
01:57:18,427 --> 01:57:22,067
Speaker 21: the hard decisions. Whereas they're naturally just autopilots sailing the

2408
01:57:22,107 --> 01:57:24,267
Speaker 21: boat and so they have more time to make the decision.

2409
01:57:24,307 --> 01:57:24,427
Speaker 3: You know.

2410
01:57:25,147 --> 01:57:27,667
Speaker 21: Uh they say the game slows down, and it definitely does.

2411
01:57:28,387 --> 01:57:31,947
Speaker 2: They would. Communication is so interesting to me. Does a

2412
01:57:32,147 --> 01:57:37,747
Speaker 2: does a good rice actually sound least? I mean, is

2413
01:57:37,787 --> 01:57:40,067
Speaker 2: the least talking if you if you have a good rice?

2414
01:57:40,107 --> 01:57:42,307
Speaker 2: So what do you still have to communicate pretty much

2415
01:57:42,347 --> 01:57:44,307
Speaker 2: constantly when you when you're out there?

2416
01:57:45,507 --> 01:57:47,627
Speaker 21: I would say there's definitely little less, but it's it's

2417
01:57:47,707 --> 01:57:50,667
Speaker 21: more just it being very refined and and you know,

2418
01:57:50,827 --> 01:57:54,427
Speaker 21: on point, whereas I think when things start to go bad,

2419
01:57:55,147 --> 01:57:57,587
Speaker 21: the more you can keep that consistency in your comms,

2420
01:57:57,827 --> 01:58:01,547
Speaker 21: the better it comes from that bad moment. So that's

2421
01:58:01,587 --> 01:58:03,907
Speaker 21: a big, big goal of ours is to just kind

2422
01:58:03,947 --> 01:58:06,107
Speaker 21: of keep our composure through that whole you know, those

2423
01:58:06,467 --> 01:58:10,227
Speaker 21: moments around the racetrack, just resetting quickly talking about the

2424
01:58:10,307 --> 01:58:13,427
Speaker 21: next thing and moving on. And yeah, I think the

2425
01:58:13,787 --> 01:58:15,907
Speaker 21: best teams in the league right now are really good

2426
01:58:15,907 --> 01:58:16,107
Speaker 21: at that.

2427
01:58:16,787 --> 01:58:19,107
Speaker 2: How has the sum shaped you as a skipper being

2428
01:58:19,147 --> 01:58:20,627
Speaker 2: in charge of of the saw GPA?

2429
01:58:20,707 --> 01:58:26,827
Speaker 21: But yeah, I mean I'm blessed, you know, I'm very

2430
01:58:26,907 --> 01:58:29,867
Speaker 21: lucky to be in the seat I'm in and represent

2431
01:58:30,027 --> 01:58:35,027
Speaker 21: this country and yeah, yeah, you know, I don't. I

2432
01:58:35,067 --> 01:58:37,507
Speaker 21: don't take it for granted, that's for sure. I work

2433
01:58:37,587 --> 01:58:39,067
Speaker 21: my ass off to try to be better in my

2434
01:58:39,227 --> 01:58:42,827
Speaker 21: role every day and I try to lead by example.

2435
01:58:43,227 --> 01:58:45,707
Speaker 21: Maybe not always the best example, but I'm always working

2436
01:58:45,787 --> 01:58:50,067
Speaker 21: on it. So yeah, it's uh, it's a tricky one.

2437
01:58:50,107 --> 01:58:53,107
Speaker 21: It's you know, something I've dreamt of and now that

2438
01:58:53,187 --> 01:58:55,067
Speaker 21: we're here, it's like, okay, like I need to make the.

2439
01:58:55,107 --> 01:58:55,427
Speaker 6: Most of this.

2440
01:58:56,387 --> 01:58:58,467
Speaker 2: So when you say you don't leave by example particularly, well,

2441
01:58:58,507 --> 01:58:59,667
Speaker 2: what does that mean?

2442
01:59:00,667 --> 01:59:03,227
Speaker 21: Oh, I don't think I I think I do lead

2443
01:59:03,267 --> 01:59:07,107
Speaker 21: by example well at times. But again I'm I'm not perfect,

2444
01:59:07,267 --> 01:59:11,827
Speaker 21: and you know I've acknowledged that and I'm working towards that.

2445
01:59:12,027 --> 01:59:12,187
Speaker 13: You know.

2446
01:59:12,307 --> 01:59:14,987
Speaker 21: It's I think it takes first step to being better

2447
01:59:15,107 --> 01:59:18,867
Speaker 21: is to acknowledge where your weaknesses are. And yeah, for me,

2448
01:59:18,987 --> 01:59:22,147
Speaker 21: that's one, and refining my communication and being better and

2449
01:59:22,227 --> 01:59:24,947
Speaker 21: moving on and just yeah, leading the team when we're

2450
01:59:24,987 --> 01:59:26,947
Speaker 21: out on the water is a big one and it's

2451
01:59:26,947 --> 01:59:29,747
Speaker 21: a big responsibility, especially at these speeds and you know,

2452
01:59:29,867 --> 01:59:33,507
Speaker 21: making these quick decisions. So yeah, I got my study,

2453
01:59:33,587 --> 01:59:36,027
Speaker 21: I watched all the video. You know, I'm I'm I'm

2454
01:59:36,067 --> 01:59:37,747
Speaker 21: dedicated to it and I want to be better for

2455
01:59:37,867 --> 01:59:38,387
Speaker 21: my teammates.

2456
01:59:38,787 --> 01:59:41,787
Speaker 2: It's tremendous self awareness. Man, it really is. All right, say,

2457
01:59:41,867 --> 01:59:43,907
Speaker 2: just to finish this weekend, I mean, do you feel

2458
01:59:43,907 --> 01:59:46,107
Speaker 2: like you're in a position where you can challenge for

2459
01:59:46,427 --> 01:59:49,227
Speaker 2: for rice wins, for podiums, for for good finishes across

2460
01:59:49,227 --> 01:59:50,147
Speaker 2: the next couple of days.

2461
01:59:50,947 --> 01:59:53,467
Speaker 21: Yeah, there's no doubt that when we sail our best,

2462
01:59:53,507 --> 01:59:56,187
Speaker 21: we're we're in the races. We've shown that, we've shown

2463
01:59:56,267 --> 01:59:59,107
Speaker 21: we can move up through the fleet. So yeah, we

2464
01:59:59,187 --> 02:00:01,147
Speaker 21: got to be out there, you know, we say, got

2465
02:00:01,227 --> 02:00:03,387
Speaker 21: to just go be normal and and and do what

2466
02:00:03,507 --> 02:00:06,507
Speaker 21: we know how to do and and just execute. And

2467
02:00:07,747 --> 02:00:10,267
Speaker 21: at this level it's everyone's good. We're seeing against the

2468
02:00:10,307 --> 02:00:12,787
Speaker 21: best in the world, seeing the exact sam boats. It

2469
02:00:12,867 --> 02:00:16,227
Speaker 21: comes down to execution and just that moment, that fine moment,

2470
02:00:16,387 --> 02:00:19,067
Speaker 21: and that's what defines the guys you know that are

2498

2513
02:02:24,067 --> 02:02:27,227
Speaker 2: song today is very very apt. I get the feeling

2514
02:02:27,267 --> 02:02:30,707
Speaker 2: the song was brought out well before he entered this world,

2515
02:02:30,747 --> 02:02:32,707
Speaker 2: but I think it stands the test of time and

2516
02:02:32,947 --> 02:02:37,587
Speaker 2: certainly appropriate for today's broadcast. Is gone with Rod Stewart

2517
