1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,599
Speaker 1: Right now, Elliot Smith here with sports He's on tonight.

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Hey Elliott, Hey Ron, good to see you. Lucklis nineteen

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: and after four now the All Whites playing New Caledonia

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: for a World Cup spot tonight, looking.

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: Good, looking good. They beat FG seven nil on Friday

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: night in Wellington semi final. They ranked sixty spots above

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: New Caledonia. It should be an easier path to the

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: Football World Cup. This is going to be the third

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: time New Zealand's going to qualify for the Men's World Cup.

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 2: Nine eighty two they had to really go the long waits,

11
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: the stuff of legends, the way they had to go through.

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: Twenty ten they qualified with the two legged trip, went

13
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: to Bahrain, first came back and Wellington sold out. This

14
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: time though, with the forty eighteen World Cup it's a

15
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: lot easier and they should be far too good for

16
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: New Caledonia tonight. I mean the All Whites can call

17
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: on Premier League experience, Chris would all those sort of players,

18
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: So a fairly straightforward game, you would think. But look

19
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: if it gets to halftime and it's in the lull

20
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: and a bit later on, we might be fair sort

21
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: of feeling the nerves a little bit. But the All

22
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: Whites should qualify for the World Cup this time in

23
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six.

24
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: We've got Ben Sigmund on the program after five point

25
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: thirty tonight because he was in that last year. Yes,

26
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: that went and he said that they partied for five

27
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: days even though they did you know, the obviously didn't win.

28
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: No, that was I mean that was huge that World

29
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: Cup and the fact they went unbeaten there. It was

30
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: the stuff I legit and not inspired a lot of

31
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: the current generation that are there now. Chris Wood was

32
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: in that group that qualified back in Bahrain in two

33
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: thousand and nine, or back in sky Stadium against Bahrain.

34
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: He's now the one of the leaders of this group

35
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. So a lot of parallels. As

36
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: I say, list time should be a little bit easier

37
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: than some of the other adventures that the Allites have

38
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: been on.

39
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: Hey, some lovely tributes today to Griswiley from from Cantabrians

40
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: and rugby folk alike.

41
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you think of rugby Hardman, that's just the

42
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: images Gris Wiley in my mind that the eighties he

43
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: coached the Canterbury team during that wonderful shield EO previously

44
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: in All Black had a hand at All Blacks coaching.

45
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: He really did it all in rugby administration as well.

46
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: And you know he was that Canterbury, that mainland sort

47
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: of hard man and you know, the mustache. Everything about

48
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,279
Speaker 2: him was iconic and you know he had a great career.

49
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: He typified that staunch Cannbury player that was there for

50
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: so many years, played a great at All Blacks level.

51
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: And really sad to see him gone, but a lot

52
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: of lovely tributes. You know John Hart, who we coached

53
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: the All Blacksworth was always seen a sort of an

54
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: acrimonious sort of peering. Gave a lovely tribute I saw

55
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: last night as well. He had, you know, all sorts

56
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: of tales in his career, but I can remember him

57
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: growing up on bear ads and various things in Canterbury.

58
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: That's you know he was. He just sort of typified

59
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: that Kiwi man and a great loss for rugby.

60
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: And we have two seconds Eliot, but I can't go

61
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: past a bit of gossip. Tiger Woods is now. He's

62
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: a bit of a he's been a ladies man.

63
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: He's got a type. It looks a lot like Elans,

64
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: the one that he did the dirty on for a

65
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: number of years, but you know, different particual potentially the

66
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: Trump family now, so he might be sort of a

67
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: step god step father to a number of Donald Trump's godchildren.

68
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: World, doesn't it. So it's Donald Trump Junior's ex wife.

69
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: Yes, so we're talking. I can't name the wall, but

70
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: Kai Trump is. Yes, she's spoken others. Yeah, she spoke

71
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: it as rallies. So some stepsiblings for Tiger's other children.
