00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Darcy Waldgrave sports store coasters with me, Hello, dars Hi.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Harry Plumber going to ditch the All Blacks?

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't say ditch the All Blacks. He's going

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: to go to France where he's going to make a

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: decent amount of money before he has to retire and

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: live in a lovely part of the world.

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: How is how he's going?

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: According to producer Ants, medicament is where the micheline man.

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Comes from, the actual micheline man.

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: You know of the tires, Yeah, not not the the

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: three stars with the rolls, the big guy and they

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: invented that before tires became black because they were white

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: before that. But they had to strengthen tires somehow, so

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: they added to compound to make them more durable, and

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: then tire has been from white to black.

16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: Has he been playing on the internet again? Google?

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: It's about tires. I haven't gone anywhere near Google every

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: now and then. You know, I've got I've got something

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: in my head that I can black.

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: Out that's interesting and weird facts. But why would Harry

21
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: Plumber be doing this because isn't he just being lined

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: up not be in the All Blacks?

23
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: Well, you've got to determine your why why do you

24
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: play rugby? What are you in it for? Yeah, some

25
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: people want a black jersey. Some people want to be

26
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: an all black, They want to create history, they want

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: to go blah blah blah blah blah. Other people probably

28
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: start wanting to do that and just what make And

29
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: then they go, you know what, this is a job,

30
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: and I know that sounds very romantic. He may have

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: even started negotiating this before he got given his cap.

32
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 2: You don't know. He had a good time with the Blues,

33
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: you know, verse five eight, second five eighth, and they

34
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: might come to and say, well, you know what, do

35
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: you want to come play for us? Because you probably

36
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: aren't likely to be an all black? And then he

37
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: got selected. But then he's turned around in the fullness

38
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: of time, he's going to go, well, I've got three

39
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: four people in front of me. Am I actually going

40
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: to be able to play? Or am I going to

41
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: be constantly training and carrying luggage? And how much?

42
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't how old?

43
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: Say wouldn't you twenty six?

44
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: You made it sound like he was so old that

45
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: it was nearly the end of his career.

46
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: No, it's not nearly the end of his career. But

47
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: you know what rugby's like, doesn't You don't last long?

48
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: One decent pam and it's all over. So I commend them.

49
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: Good on them, And for people complaining about that we're

50
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: going to lose all of our young players, were going

51
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: to lose all blaa. We create so many brilliant players

52
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: we can't employ them all. This is possible.

53
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: We have got money. I'm here. It doesn't look like

54
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: we're making that many brilliant players, does it? Because the

55
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: World Rugby Awards are out? And have we got any

56
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: of our fifteen's players and the men's all the women's

57
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: squads through to like Player of the Year. No, when

58
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: was the last time that happened?

59
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: Does it matter?

60
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: It's not good though, it doesn't matter.

61
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: I don't want to appear jawnedice by this. But anyone

62
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: who knows me and my words for the last however long,

63
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: knows that awards ceremonies are stupid?

64
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: Are they?

65
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: Yes?

66
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: Okay? They mean, says someone who lost him any awards.

67
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: Nothing. I've won a few, I've lost a few, but

68
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: there's one of is. It's just you get to get there,

69
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: You clip on a suit, you drink with some of

70
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: your colleagues. It's a great social occasion.

71
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: But what I'm on but they don't fair enough.

72
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: Play on boots. So you can become a World Rugby

73
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: Player of the Year you put on boots to win.

74
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: But if you actually looked at our squad, there aren't

75
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: any of them that you think, geez, that is the

76
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: standout player in the world in that position.

77
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: Who makes the decision or just abundantly.

78
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: Clear to us who is awesome and who's not.

79
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: Awesome.

80
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: Marcus Marcus Smith, He's wicked.

81
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: So we've got we've got some sevens players in and

82
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: we've got some emerging talent coming through, which is good.

83
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: What is one of the emerging talents coming through? And

84
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: he's got a couple of guys up against them.

85
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: South Africa's got three in the men's fifteen. Player of

86
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: the Year.

87
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: Is one of my favorites, and they are world champions.

88
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: They're almost impossible to beat. You kind of get that.

89
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: So it's a reflection to a degree of what you

90
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: achieve at that level. But I think people don't play

91
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: rugby getting the World.

92
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: Monico and being simplistic about this, it is a reflection.

93
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: It's a reflection of how well, your players are playing right,

94
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: because they will get recognized that these awards, if they're awesome.

95
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: Isn't James Low from Ireland to Kiwi? But yes, okay

96
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: you got one in there. I wouldn't try the year.

97
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: Oh right, Okay, there you go. Well he's not really

98
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: He's Irish, now, isn't he? I just I think that

99
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: we interested in Super Championships, any PC titles and World Cups,

100
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: holding the Buddhaslow Cup, beating the South Africans. There are

101
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: so many more things that important. Say tell me who

102
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: the Player of the Year was two years ago? No,

103
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: I don't know either. It doesn't matter. You could suit

104
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: only to.

105
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: You run this out at seven o'clock starts talking. Just

106
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: get your ass handed to you by the callers. No

107
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: I won't because I'm right anyway, give them a hard time.

108
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: If you're listening at seven o'clock.
