11
00:00:40,547 --> 00:00:45,787
Speaker 3: Mata Harbor yesterday, bringing a premature halt to the opening day.

12
00:00:49,627 --> 00:00:51,747
Speaker 3: And it's the approach mark number one here at race

13
00:00:51,827 --> 00:00:52,507
Speaker 3: number three.

14
00:00:55,147 --> 00:00:57,147
Speaker 4: And the Blacks come with me.

15
00:00:57,907 --> 00:01:01,507
Speaker 5: Friend, Oh, they lost the faux there the Black Foils,

16
00:01:01,587 --> 00:01:03,027
Speaker 5: they just got a little loose.

17
00:01:03,387 --> 00:01:06,267
Speaker 6: Rudders came out of the water to those at massive incident.

18
00:01:06,587 --> 00:01:07,587
Speaker 3: We're going to have to check it.

19
00:01:07,627 --> 00:01:09,187
Speaker 7: Hope everyone soky on that.

20
00:01:09,187 --> 00:01:10,067
Speaker 8: One will come back.

21
00:01:10,587 --> 00:01:13,867
Speaker 3: A frightening high speed collision between the Blackfoils and France,

22
00:01:13,947 --> 00:01:17,427
Speaker 3: leaving two sailors in hospital in stable condition and both

23
00:01:17,467 --> 00:01:20,147
Speaker 3: teams ruled out of the rest of the weekend, Black

24
00:01:20,187 --> 00:01:24,907
Speaker 3: Foils grinder Lewis Sinclair hospitalized he's undergone successful surgery on

25
00:01:25,027 --> 00:01:29,187
Speaker 3: his right leg. The French team also confirmed strategist Manor

26
00:01:29,347 --> 00:01:33,827
Speaker 3: Oudinay was hospitalized being assessed for injury after being violently

27
00:01:33,867 --> 00:01:37,587
Speaker 3: thrown forward inside her cockpit in the collision. The incident

28
00:01:37,627 --> 00:01:39,667
Speaker 3: happened at the start of race three while the French

29
00:01:39,707 --> 00:01:42,787
Speaker 3: crew were leading the fleet in strong high speed foiling conditions.

30
00:01:43,067 --> 00:01:46,627
Speaker 3: The New Zealander fifty, positioned to windward, lost control of

31
00:01:46,667 --> 00:01:50,347
Speaker 3: its trajectory. They suddenly pivoted to ninety degrees across the

32
00:01:50,387 --> 00:01:54,507
Speaker 3: French boat's course, making any evasive maneuver impossible, despite an

33
00:01:54,507 --> 00:01:58,387
Speaker 3: immediate reaction at the French helm. Before the crash, though,

34
00:01:58,387 --> 00:02:01,987
Speaker 3: there was some thrilling, tight racing and tricky shifting wins,

35
00:02:02,267 --> 00:02:05,467
Speaker 3: Australia claiming the opening race win, the Black Foils exciting

36
00:02:05,707 --> 00:02:08,347
Speaker 3: their home with the win in the third placing before

37
00:02:08,387 --> 00:02:12,707
Speaker 3: their day ended in dramatic fashion. Now SALEGP had already

38
00:02:12,747 --> 00:02:15,747
Speaker 3: brought forward the race schedule for today due to the

39
00:02:15,787 --> 00:02:18,667
Speaker 3: threat of high winds. This afternoon racing got under way

40
00:02:18,947 --> 00:02:22,547
Speaker 3: around forty minutes ago, and in a further change, SALGP

41
00:02:22,747 --> 00:02:27,267
Speaker 3: have implemented a split fleet racing format today. That decision

42
00:02:27,307 --> 00:02:31,347
Speaker 3: taken with stronger wind conditions forecast on the tight stadium

43
00:02:31,427 --> 00:02:35,027
Speaker 3: style race track. Eleven f fifties in action today split

44
00:02:35,467 --> 00:02:39,347
Speaker 3: into two groups Great Britain, Germany, Brazil, Canada and Italy

45
00:02:39,587 --> 00:02:43,547
Speaker 3: racing and Group A Australia, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and

46
00:02:43,587 --> 00:02:47,307
Speaker 3: the United States in Group B. Each group will contest

47
00:02:47,427 --> 00:02:51,547
Speaker 3: two fleet races, with four in total points awarded within

48
00:02:51,587 --> 00:02:53,147
Speaker 3: each group on a five to four to three two

49
00:02:53,187 --> 00:02:57,347
Speaker 3: one zero scale, and teams will carry over their points

50
00:02:57,347 --> 00:03:01,267
Speaker 3: from yesterday, with the top three going into the final.

51
00:03:01,587 --> 00:03:05,307
Speaker 3: Group A Race one is complete Great Britain winning it

52
00:03:05,347 --> 00:03:08,827
Speaker 3: from Canada, Germany, Italy and Brazil and Australia have come

53

Speaker 3: home first in Group B Race one more to come

54

Speaker 3: across the afternoon, of course, with the final scheduled for

55
00:03:17,587 --> 00:03:22,067
Speaker 3: around one o'clock inside the ninety minute broadcast window, maybe

56
00:03:22,107 --> 00:03:25,267
Speaker 3: slightly ladder than that depending on how things play out

57
00:03:25,307 --> 00:03:28,867
Speaker 3: there on way to Matar Harbor. Our show this afternoon

58

81
00:04:41,707 --> 00:04:45,427
Speaker 3: From youth World champion to one of sailing's most respected figures,

82
00:04:45,587 --> 00:04:48,587
Speaker 3: Freddie Carr has spent more than two decades at the

83
00:04:48,707 --> 00:04:52,067
Speaker 3: very top of sailing. A professional since two thousand, he's

84
00:04:52,067 --> 00:04:56,347
Speaker 3: claimed world and European titles across multiple teams and competed

85
00:04:56,387 --> 00:05:00,387
Speaker 3: in six America's Cups. Off the water, his impact runs

86
00:05:00,707 --> 00:05:04,787
Speaker 3: just as deep, helping launch Oman's sale, mentoring young sailors

87
00:05:05,027 --> 00:05:08,747
Speaker 3: from under privileged to bat and dedicating himself to growing

88
00:05:08,787 --> 00:05:12,987
Speaker 3: participation and diversity in the sport. In recent years, his

89
00:05:13,107 --> 00:05:16,827
Speaker 3: passion has carried into broadcasting, becoming a familiar and very

90
00:05:16,867 --> 00:05:20,547
Speaker 3: popular voice and face across live television as a commentator,

91
00:05:20,587 --> 00:05:24,707
Speaker 3: pundit and host at many of the world's biggest sailing events.

92
00:05:24,747 --> 00:05:28,547
Speaker 3: You can see all his content at thefoil dot com

93
00:05:28,587 --> 00:05:31,787
Speaker 3: and across your social media channels. Freddy Kara's with us.

94
00:05:31,787 --> 00:05:33,227
Speaker 3: Welcome and mate, thanks for joining us.

95
00:05:33,547 --> 00:05:34,827
Speaker 9: Absolutely, thank you for having me.

96
00:05:34,987 --> 00:05:37,707
Speaker 3: Let's start with the decision today to split the fleet

97
00:05:37,827 --> 00:05:40,187
Speaker 3: for day two of satlegp Auckland. What do you make

98
00:05:40,227 --> 00:05:40,867
Speaker 3: of the decision?

99
00:05:40,947 --> 00:05:43,627
Speaker 10: Yeah, it feels like a significant one doesn't it, And

100
00:05:43,667 --> 00:05:46,947
Speaker 10: it's probably an appropriate reaction to what we saw out

101
00:05:46,987 --> 00:05:49,587
Speaker 10: on the racecourse yesterday. It's the first time that the

102
00:05:49,747 --> 00:05:52,867
Speaker 10: fleet has been split, so from a sporting point of view,

103
00:05:52,987 --> 00:05:54,787
Speaker 10: it's going to be very interesting to see how the

104
00:05:54,827 --> 00:05:58,107
Speaker 10: teams adapt to that style of racing. Only racing four

105
00:05:58,187 --> 00:06:01,027
Speaker 10: or five other boats will put a different tactical spin

106
00:06:01,107 --> 00:06:01,867
Speaker 10: on the race course.

107
00:06:02,187 --> 00:06:03,427
Speaker 9: But it's still going to be fast.

108
00:06:03,547 --> 00:06:05,867
Speaker 10: Like you look at the forecast for today, it's going

109
00:06:05,907 --> 00:06:09,227
Speaker 10: to be really fast, slightly more wind than yesterday, so

110
00:06:09,347 --> 00:06:11,107
Speaker 10: they are going to be in and around one hundred

111
00:06:11,147 --> 00:06:14,947
Speaker 10: kilometers an hour. But I think more importantly than anything,

112
00:06:14,947 --> 00:06:16,867
Speaker 10: there's just going to be a little bit more breathing

113
00:06:16,947 --> 00:06:18,027
Speaker 10: room in between the boats.

114
00:06:18,387 --> 00:06:21,347
Speaker 3: Can you, before we talk about yesterday, give Elliston as

115
00:06:21,347 --> 00:06:25,427
Speaker 3: an understanding of just how extreme and technically difficult these

116
00:06:25,427 --> 00:06:26,427
Speaker 3: boats are to sail.

117
00:06:26,707 --> 00:06:29,787
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean they are right on the raggedy edge,

118
00:06:29,987 --> 00:06:32,307
Speaker 10: right on the raggedy edge. And as I said with

119
00:06:32,347 --> 00:06:36,187
Speaker 10: my thoughts on yesterday's incident, these guys, as we know

120
00:06:36,267 --> 00:06:38,107
Speaker 10: with Pete and Blair and how they operate with the

121
00:06:38,107 --> 00:06:40,747
Speaker 10: black foils, you don't make it to this level of

122
00:06:40,787 --> 00:06:42,747
Speaker 10: sailing if you have not got your foot to.

123
00:06:42,707 --> 00:06:44,067
Speaker 9: The floor the whole time.

124
00:06:44,267 --> 00:06:46,787
Speaker 10: You know you've got to be in that last percent

125
00:06:47,107 --> 00:06:49,147
Speaker 10: to get to mark one first, to have all your

126
00:06:49,147 --> 00:06:53,227
Speaker 10: options open down wind, and they are incredibly tricky to sail.

127
00:06:53,307 --> 00:06:55,027
Speaker 10: Now you look at the back of the boat, between

128
00:06:55,027 --> 00:06:58,787
Speaker 10: the driver, the wing trimmer and the pilot. That's effectively

129
00:06:58,907 --> 00:07:01,507
Speaker 10: like driving a sports car with one guy doing the gears,

130
00:07:01,587 --> 00:07:04,067
Speaker 10: one guy doing the breaks, and then another guy steering.

131
00:07:04,187 --> 00:07:07,547
Speaker 10: And having those three people in sink at one hundred

132
00:07:07,627 --> 00:07:10,027
Speaker 10: kilometers an hour with twelve other boats around you, with

133
00:07:10,107 --> 00:07:13,267
Speaker 10: gus rolling off the shore and here in New Zealand they.

134
00:07:13,107 --> 00:07:16,427
Speaker 9: Can hear the crowd screaming for them to push harder.

135
00:07:17,067 --> 00:07:20,187
Speaker 10: It's a real dynamic that we've never seen in sailing before.

136
00:07:20,347 --> 00:07:23,147
Speaker 10: You kind of don't get that interaction in the America's Cup.

137
00:07:23,187 --> 00:07:26,547
Speaker 10: And it really landed on me yesterday hearing the grandstand

138
00:07:26,707 --> 00:07:29,147
Speaker 10: and the boats are on the first reach. That would

139
00:07:29,187 --> 00:07:31,027
Speaker 10: you'd hear that on the boats and that would affect

140
00:07:31,107 --> 00:07:32,867
Speaker 10: how you operate that day.

141
00:07:33,147 --> 00:07:36,307
Speaker 3: Unreal, unreal. So the incident yesterday involving the black foils

142
00:07:36,307 --> 00:07:38,587
Speaker 3: in France, you've obviously had the chance to watch it

143
00:07:38,627 --> 00:07:43,787
Speaker 3: Beck a few times. What stands out most about what unfolded.

144
00:07:44,667 --> 00:07:46,907
Speaker 10: What stands out to me is I mean that you

145
00:07:47,227 --> 00:07:49,227
Speaker 10: go on social media and I never used to do this.

146
00:07:49,267 --> 00:07:51,547
Speaker 10: I never used to go and read people's opinions, but

147
00:07:51,587 --> 00:07:54,387
Speaker 10: now as a pundit, I find it fascinating to dive

148
00:07:54,427 --> 00:07:56,667
Speaker 10: in and see what people are talking about. And people

149
00:07:56,707 --> 00:07:59,227
Speaker 10: are very quick to point the finger at be it

150
00:07:59,307 --> 00:08:01,667
Speaker 10: the League, to be at the black foils, some people

151
00:08:01,907 --> 00:08:03,907
Speaker 10: even pointing the finger at the French. And I think

152
00:08:03,947 --> 00:08:06,787
Speaker 10: it's really important right now, until we get the bottom

153
00:08:06,787 --> 00:08:07,987
Speaker 10: of what happened, is just.

154
00:08:08,027 --> 00:08:10,267
Speaker 9: Let the dust settle, let the process of.

155
00:08:11,747 --> 00:08:15,307
Speaker 10: Finding what can change land properly, and don't be quick

156
00:08:15,347 --> 00:08:18,587
Speaker 10: to blame. Now, we saw with the New Zealanders they

157
00:08:18,587 --> 00:08:20,707
Speaker 10: were in a really good spot on that reach and

158
00:08:21,027 --> 00:08:23,227
Speaker 10: there was a gust hitting from the grandstand. You could

159
00:08:23,267 --> 00:08:25,067
Speaker 10: see it on the boats above them. The gust was

160
00:08:25,107 --> 00:08:28,147
Speaker 10: hit and people were bearing away, easing wind sheets, reducing

161
00:08:28,187 --> 00:08:31,227
Speaker 10: ride height. At that specific moment in time, New Zealand

162
00:08:31,267 --> 00:08:34,187
Speaker 10: really had to push to push forwards their dominant from

163
00:08:34,227 --> 00:08:37,307
Speaker 10: their great start, and unfortunately they just got a little

164
00:08:37,307 --> 00:08:39,707
Speaker 10: bit high out the water, they lost grip of the

165
00:08:39,747 --> 00:08:43,307
Speaker 10: foils on their boat. They skiddered sideways. Now at that

166
00:08:43,427 --> 00:08:46,467
Speaker 10: moment in time, you're an absolute passenger. There is nothing

167
00:08:46,707 --> 00:08:49,347
Speaker 10: that anyone on board the Kiwi boat in that split

168
00:08:49,387 --> 00:08:52,387
Speaker 10: second can do, and it's horrible and you're waiting for

169
00:08:52,427 --> 00:08:54,787
Speaker 10: the regrip and we all saw what happened when.

170
00:08:54,627 --> 00:08:55,667
Speaker 9: The boat regripped.

171
00:08:56,027 --> 00:08:58,147
Speaker 10: They gripped back in the water, flew up head to

172
00:08:58,187 --> 00:09:01,587
Speaker 10: wind and effectively put a roadblock in front of the French. Now,

173
00:09:01,947 --> 00:09:06,787
Speaker 10: full credit to contemn Dela Pierre his reactions in my opinion,

174
00:09:06,787 --> 00:09:09,747
Speaker 10: and I don't want to overdramatize, it probably saved a

175
00:09:09,787 --> 00:09:13,387
Speaker 10: life yesterday. And what the French helmsman did was fantastic.

176
00:09:14,027 --> 00:09:16,827
Speaker 10: And it's very sad what happened to Louis and we

177
00:09:16,867 --> 00:09:19,587
Speaker 10: has got serious injuries. Let's not talk it down. But

178
00:09:20,787 --> 00:09:22,987
Speaker 10: how the French reacted to what they saw in front

179
00:09:22,987 --> 00:09:24,347
Speaker 10: of them was world class.

180
00:09:25,347 --> 00:09:30,227
Speaker 3: What a great piece of analysis, mate. But the series

181
00:09:31,507 --> 00:09:34,587
Speaker 3: promotes itself on the excitement and the high speeds on

182
00:09:34,667 --> 00:09:38,067
Speaker 3: the tight race courses, but there's safety as well, right,

183
00:09:38,147 --> 00:09:41,787
Speaker 3: and how do you balance the two things.

184
00:09:41,867 --> 00:09:44,627
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a real fine line, isn't it. And like

185
00:09:45,307 --> 00:09:47,827
Speaker 10: the sailing is now in extreme sport. Now when I

186
00:09:47,907 --> 00:09:50,507
Speaker 10: started America's Cup racing twenty five years ago.

187
00:09:50,547 --> 00:09:52,907
Speaker 9: It wasn't an extreme sport. It was great fun.

188
00:09:52,947 --> 00:09:55,227
Speaker 10: You were pulling ropes and winches and you were doing

189
00:09:55,267 --> 00:09:57,587
Speaker 10: ten knots every in every direction out in the hierarchy

190
00:09:57,627 --> 00:09:59,307
Speaker 10: golf when I was here in two thousand and three.

191
00:09:59,347 --> 00:10:02,627
Speaker 10: But with what sale GP has become, and it is brilliant,

192
00:10:02,667 --> 00:10:03,227
Speaker 10: I enjoy it.

193
00:10:03,267 --> 00:10:04,587
Speaker 9: And what the America's.

194
00:10:04,187 --> 00:10:07,667
Speaker 10: Cup has now become, it's an extremes And be under

195
00:10:07,667 --> 00:10:10,147
Speaker 10: no illusion that every single sailor pushing off the dock

196
00:10:10,307 --> 00:10:13,227
Speaker 10: recognizes that the sport that they're in nowadays, like it's

197
00:10:13,227 --> 00:10:15,107
Speaker 10: like motocross, it's like downhill skiing.

198
00:10:15,147 --> 00:10:17,787
Speaker 9: Look at Lindsay vonn it's an extreme sport.

199
00:10:17,947 --> 00:10:18,227
Speaker 11: Now.

200
00:10:18,547 --> 00:10:22,507
Speaker 10: What I can vouch for is the safety precautions around

201
00:10:22,507 --> 00:10:25,547
Speaker 10: this series, the level of safety training that all of

202
00:10:25,587 --> 00:10:28,867
Speaker 10: the sailors have, all of the in house support crew,

203
00:10:29,427 --> 00:10:31,947
Speaker 10: and most importantly, and this is what I saw yesterday

204
00:10:32,507 --> 00:10:36,787
Speaker 10: from sale GP themselves, the rescue divers, the paramedics. Their

205
00:10:36,827 --> 00:10:41,587
Speaker 10: response to a very nasty situation was world class. And

206
00:10:42,387 --> 00:10:44,507
Speaker 10: I think that's the message that we should take away

207
00:10:44,547 --> 00:10:48,267
Speaker 10: as sailing fans and as sports fans, is the reaction

208
00:10:48,787 --> 00:10:52,547
Speaker 10: to the horrible incident yesterday was fantastic and now also

209
00:10:53,307 --> 00:10:56,667
Speaker 10: from the senior management of sale GP to tweak the format.

210
00:10:56,747 --> 00:10:59,987
Speaker 10: They recognize that they need to d risk today and

211
00:11:00,027 --> 00:11:01,107
Speaker 10: they've done that and that's.

212
00:11:00,987 --> 00:11:03,587
Speaker 3: The right call moving forward. Then, Freddie, do you think

213
00:11:03,707 --> 00:11:07,107
Speaker 3: when they add a fourteenth boat, YEP fourteen fail together

214
00:11:07,267 --> 00:11:09,507
Speaker 3: or is it going to be a split fleet format

215
00:11:09,587 --> 00:11:10,187
Speaker 3: moving forward.

216
00:11:10,467 --> 00:11:13,907
Speaker 9: That's a great question. I would assume with where the.

217
00:11:13,947 --> 00:11:17,307
Speaker 10: Venues might be in season seven in twenty twenty seven,

218
00:11:17,427 --> 00:11:21,347
Speaker 10: it will be very venue specific. You look at Perth

219
00:11:21,427 --> 00:11:24,707
Speaker 10: that our first event here three weeks ago, and it

220
00:11:24,827 --> 00:11:27,787
Speaker 10: was safe to have thirteen boats on that race course.

221
00:11:27,827 --> 00:11:29,947
Speaker 10: It was slightly bigger, it was an on shore breeze,

222
00:11:30,427 --> 00:11:33,227
Speaker 10: and I think that the wisdom within sale GP. You'll

223
00:11:33,267 --> 00:11:35,547
Speaker 10: rock up to different Grand Prix around the globe and

224
00:11:35,587 --> 00:11:38,587
Speaker 10: they'll go, right, okay, we're in Auckland again. Here it's

225
00:11:38,667 --> 00:11:41,707
Speaker 10: out of this direction. Again, let's be wise and just

226
00:11:41,747 --> 00:11:43,547
Speaker 10: split the fleet. So I think it will be venue

227
00:11:43,587 --> 00:11:44,907
Speaker 10: specific in terms.

228
00:11:44,707 --> 00:11:47,027
Speaker 3: Of the boats and the damage they sustained. The Black

229
00:11:47,067 --> 00:11:49,827
Speaker 3: Falls Head damaged through a collision and Perth obviously, and

230
00:11:49,827 --> 00:11:51,587
Speaker 3: they worked around the clock to get them ready for

231
00:11:52,267 --> 00:11:55,427
Speaker 3: this event and Suddeny's only two weeks away France and

232
00:11:55,467 --> 00:11:56,707
Speaker 3: the Black Fall is going to be on the start

233
00:11:56,707 --> 00:11:57,387
Speaker 3: line and Sydney.

234
00:11:58,507 --> 00:12:00,867
Speaker 10: I know nothing officially, but I've just been over in

235
00:12:00,867 --> 00:12:05,227
Speaker 10: the tech site now and yeah, unofficially, I would be

236
00:12:05,627 --> 00:12:08,507
Speaker 10: amazed if those two boats are racing in Sydney, and

237
00:12:08,547 --> 00:12:10,907
Speaker 10: that I mean the tech team with sale GP wat's

238
00:12:10,947 --> 00:12:12,987
Speaker 10: around the clock to get the Black Foils and the

239
00:12:12,987 --> 00:12:15,467
Speaker 10: Spanish because they had an incident in Perth racing here

240
00:12:15,467 --> 00:12:18,587
Speaker 10: this weekend, and I just think with a shorter timeline

241
00:12:18,867 --> 00:12:22,827
Speaker 10: and the significance of the damage, particularly to the Black Foils,

242
00:12:23,667 --> 00:12:26,427
Speaker 10: I personally think it's unlikely. But we'll have to wait

243
00:12:26,467 --> 00:12:29,267
Speaker 10: to see what the higher ups say in the next

244
00:12:29,307 --> 00:12:29,867
Speaker 10: couple of days.

245
00:12:29,907 --> 00:12:32,547
Speaker 3: All right, just as we have to finish. What do

246
00:12:32,587 --> 00:12:35,067
Speaker 3: you see is the future of this format? As Sir

247
00:12:35,147 --> 00:12:38,507
Speaker 3: Russell has seen more boats and wants more venues. So

248
00:12:38,867 --> 00:12:42,467
Speaker 3: we're at SALGPI going to be in three, five, ten years, it's.

249
00:12:42,267 --> 00:12:44,107
Speaker 10: Going to grow and grow. I think it's going to

250
00:12:44,107 --> 00:12:49,267
Speaker 10: grow and grow. Like I recognize that foiling sailing splits

251
00:12:49,467 --> 00:12:53,027
Speaker 10: the hardcore sailing public, there's still people that love the

252
00:12:53,067 --> 00:12:55,387
Speaker 10: twelve meters from the eighties and I love that and

253
00:12:55,427 --> 00:12:58,747
Speaker 10: the IACC class that we saw here for in sort

254
00:12:58,747 --> 00:13:01,547
Speaker 10: of two thousand and two thousand and three. Those races

255
00:13:01,587 --> 00:13:05,027
Speaker 10: are incredible. But this is where sale GP is going,

256
00:13:05,067 --> 00:13:07,947
Speaker 10: and it is taking a big of not only a

257
00:13:08,067 --> 00:13:11,467
Speaker 10: sailing audience with them, but more importantly than that, it's

258
00:13:11,507 --> 00:13:14,627
Speaker 10: taking a non sailing audience on a journey with them. Now,

259
00:13:14,947 --> 00:13:17,187
Speaker 10: as a sailing fan, you might love that or hate that.

260
00:13:17,267 --> 00:13:19,027
Speaker 10: I know some people can't stand that we talk in

261
00:13:19,107 --> 00:13:22,267
Speaker 10: kilometer is an hour and not not, and I recognize that.

262
00:13:22,387 --> 00:13:24,787
Speaker 10: But in terms of where SALGP will be in five

263
00:13:24,867 --> 00:13:28,027
Speaker 10: years time, it's going to be a powerhouse in sailing still,

264
00:13:28,067 --> 00:13:30,387
Speaker 10: and it's going to be a powerhouse in sports still.

265
00:13:30,427 --> 00:13:33,107
Speaker 9: There's going to be more teams. We've seen all the media.

266
00:13:32,827 --> 00:13:35,707
Speaker 10: About how much the franchise has are changing hands for

267
00:13:36,587 --> 00:13:39,707
Speaker 10: and it's self sustainable. It's going to grow and grow,

268
00:13:39,907 --> 00:13:43,787
Speaker 10: and I'm here for it. I think it's a fantastic league,

269
00:13:44,227 --> 00:13:47,947
Speaker 10: and incidents like yesterday will probably happen again in the future,

270
00:13:47,987 --> 00:13:51,707
Speaker 10: but I know that there will be better safety protocols

271
00:13:51,707 --> 00:13:53,907
Speaker 10: in place that will properly mitigate the risk.

272
00:13:54,107 --> 00:13:54,947
Speaker 9: That's my hope.

273
00:13:55,347 --> 00:13:58,147
Speaker 3: Friddy. Thanks for your analysis. Thanks for stopping by enjoy data.

274
00:13:58,187 --> 00:14:00,467
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, No, thank you, Freddy, Freddy car

275
00:14:00,587 --> 00:14:04,147
Speaker 3: the amazing analysis from him, just listening and see it's

276
00:14:04,147 --> 00:14:06,787
Speaker 3: glenn On tigs. Haven't seen the accident, but there's analysis

277
00:14:06,827 --> 00:14:11,507
Speaker 3: and description of it and subsequent reaction is fantastic here

278
00:14:11,547 --> 00:14:13,467
Speaker 3: Freddie Carman, and he knows his stuff and just being

279
00:14:13,467 --> 00:14:15,547
Speaker 3: able to unpack it in a way that we can

280
00:14:15,587 --> 00:14:17,867
Speaker 3: all understand. And this is the this is the issue

281
00:14:17,867 --> 00:14:21,507
Speaker 3: that sale GP are going to have moving forward. Bring

282
00:14:21,547 --> 00:14:25,467
Speaker 3: you race results incidentally of the second fleet race in

283
00:14:25,547 --> 00:14:27,347
Speaker 3: Group A. In fact, we can do that now. Great

284
00:14:27,347 --> 00:14:31,227
Speaker 3: Britain have won that as they did Group A Race one,

285
00:14:31,467 --> 00:14:34,227
Speaker 3: so I'd say that would almost certainly have them in

286
00:14:34,707 --> 00:14:37,787
Speaker 3: a pretty good position to make the event final. They

287
00:14:37,827 --> 00:14:41,427
Speaker 3: came in ahead of Germany, Canada, Italy and Brazil that

288
00:14:41,627 --> 00:14:44,667
Speaker 3: is race two in Group A race one, and Group

289
00:14:44,707 --> 00:14:49,587
Speaker 3: B Australia, Sweden, the USA, Switzerland, Denmark, Spain in that order.

290
00:14:49,707 --> 00:14:51,867
Speaker 3: So what does that do to the overall table? Will

291
00:14:51,867 --> 00:14:55,227
Speaker 3: bring you all of that information over the next little while,

292
00:14:55,467 --> 00:14:59,507
Speaker 3: with a final fleet race to be sailed in Group

293
00:14:59,627 --> 00:15:03,427
Speaker 3: B and then a winner takes all three boat final

294
00:15:03,787 --> 00:15:08,147
Speaker 3: to finish us off at eighty ten. Eighty is our number.

295
00:15:08,227 --> 00:15:12,187
Speaker 3: Really keen for your thoughts on this, sailing fans, in particular,

296
00:15:12,267 --> 00:15:15,907
Speaker 3: what was your assessment of how it played out yesterday?

297
00:15:16,667 --> 00:15:21,147
Speaker 3: As Freddy just said, then sale GP is an extreme sport.

298
00:15:21,227 --> 00:15:23,907
Speaker 3: Now the clues in the name, isn't it, you know?

299
00:15:24,267 --> 00:15:27,667
Speaker 3: GP Grand Prix. They call it Formula one on the

300
00:15:27,707 --> 00:15:30,827
Speaker 3: water and with extreme sport comes risk, of course it does,

301
00:15:31,227 --> 00:15:34,387
Speaker 3: but that risk has to be balanced with safety that

302
00:15:34,467 --> 00:15:40,467
Speaker 3: is not negotiable. The split fleet format obviously alleviates that

303
00:15:40,707 --> 00:15:44,347
Speaker 3: very very different spectacle watching five and six boats out

304
00:15:44,347 --> 00:15:46,387
Speaker 3: there at the moment on the course than what we

305
00:15:46,427 --> 00:15:49,467
Speaker 3: saw yesterday when we had thirteen out there for the

306
00:15:49,547 --> 00:15:52,747
Speaker 3: very first time. It's interesting the different viewpoints of the

307
00:15:52,787 --> 00:15:55,867
Speaker 3: split fleet before it was confirmed, which was this morning.

308
00:15:56,187 --> 00:15:58,347
Speaker 3: We had the opportunity after racing yesterday to speak to

309
00:15:58,387 --> 00:16:01,067
Speaker 3: a couple of the drivers. Dylan Fletcher from the Great

310
00:16:01,067 --> 00:16:04,507
Speaker 3: Britain team liked the idea of everybody out there at

311
00:16:04,507 --> 00:16:07,707
Speaker 3: the same time, he liked them the crowded field and

312
00:16:07,747 --> 00:16:11,787
Speaker 3: the extra adrenaline that went with that, whereas Phil Robertson

313
00:16:11,827 --> 00:16:16,587
Speaker 3: from the Italian team, the Kiwi who's driving for them

314
00:16:16,987 --> 00:16:22,987
Speaker 3: this year was of a different view. He was adamant that, hey,

315
00:16:23,027 --> 00:16:25,787
Speaker 3: with so many boats out there on a tight race

316
00:16:25,867 --> 00:16:29,387
Speaker 3: course at high speed, with strong wins, we're going to

317
00:16:29,427 --> 00:16:31,307
Speaker 3: see more of this sort of thing happen. So it

318
00:16:31,387 --> 00:16:35,907
Speaker 3: is a very very fine balancing act for the SALGP

319
00:16:36,147 --> 00:16:41,387
Speaker 3: powers that be. Russell Cootz said yesterday that they're looking

320
00:16:41,427 --> 00:16:43,987
Speaker 3: to bring a fourteenth team in. I guess that makes

321
00:16:44,027 --> 00:16:48,147
Speaker 3: the splitting of the fleet a lot more likely when

322
00:16:48,147 --> 00:16:52,067
Speaker 3: you've got two fleets of seven each time. But you

323
00:16:52,107 --> 00:16:55,627
Speaker 3: know what would we lose entertainment wise by having the

324
00:16:55,627 --> 00:16:59,227
Speaker 3: seven boat races rather than the fourteen. It is a

325
00:16:59,387 --> 00:17:03,787
Speaker 3: supreme act of balancing entertainment with safety, because there was

326
00:17:03,827 --> 00:17:08,747
Speaker 3: absolutely no doubt that it's a lot more visually exciting

327
00:17:09,267 --> 00:17:11,467
Speaker 3: when there are thirteen and fourteen boats out there than

328
00:17:11,467 --> 00:17:14,547
Speaker 3: it is when there are six or seven. I weight

329
00:17:14,547 --> 00:17:16,427
Speaker 3: one hundred eighty ten eighty as our number nine two

330
00:17:16,547 --> 00:17:18,067
Speaker 3: ninety two. If you'd like to seen de text will

331
00:17:18,107 --> 00:17:20,187
Speaker 3: keep you right across racing as it happens on White

332
00:17:20,227 --> 00:17:22,387
Speaker 3: to Mata Harbor weekend. Sport has come into your life

333
00:17:22,707 --> 00:17:26,187
Speaker 3: from the shoreline today right through until three o'clock. I

334
00:17:26,227 --> 00:17:27,947
Speaker 3: wait one hundred and eighty ten eighty for your thoughts

335
00:17:28,067 --> 00:17:30,147
Speaker 3: or on text nine two nine two, twelve twenty four

336
00:17:30,187 --> 00:17:30,547
Speaker 3: back in a.

337
00:17:30,587 --> 00:17:37,547
Speaker 1: Set, The Fast and the Furious on and after Water,

338
00:17:37,827 --> 00:17:41,187
Speaker 1: Live from sale GP in Auckland. It's Weekend Sports with

339
00:17:41,387 --> 00:17:45,787
Speaker 1: Jason Vime and GJ. Gardnerholmes, New Zealand's most trusted home builder,

340
00:17:45,947 --> 00:17:47,387
Speaker 1: News TALKSB.

341
00:17:47,987 --> 00:17:50,787
Speaker 3: At twelve twenty seven here on News Talk ZEDB, broadcasting

342
00:17:50,827 --> 00:17:54,987
Speaker 3: live from sale GP. Great Britain have won Race three,

343
00:17:55,067 --> 00:17:57,467
Speaker 3: which is their second fleet race. Try and keep up here.

344
00:17:57,547 --> 00:18:00,707
Speaker 3: The split format makes a little bit more difficult to explain,

345
00:18:00,827 --> 00:18:04,987
Speaker 3: but Great Britain have won both fleet races in their

346
00:18:05,027 --> 00:18:08,107
Speaker 3: group and have secured them place in the final. We

347
00:18:08,227 --> 00:18:11,987
Speaker 3: have just one more race before that final Australia Suite

348
00:18:12,027 --> 00:18:15,787
Speaker 3: in Denmark, the United States, Spain and Switzerland approaching the

349
00:18:15,787 --> 00:18:18,907
Speaker 3: start line about forty seconds away from getting underway in

350
00:18:18,947 --> 00:18:21,587
Speaker 3: the final fleet race. Beyond that we will have our

351
00:18:21,667 --> 00:18:24,227
Speaker 3: top three and they will contest the final, which is

352
00:18:24,267 --> 00:18:28,787
Speaker 3: set to go at around quarter to one this afternoon. Gooda, Jeff,

353
00:18:29,867 --> 00:18:32,387
Speaker 3: Yeah you're there. You go very good, thank you.

354
00:18:33,387 --> 00:18:37,667
Speaker 12: Yeah, Well that was shady Shadley. It was predictable that

355
00:18:37,787 --> 00:18:40,227
Speaker 12: that was going to occur, and it's going to continue

356
00:18:40,227 --> 00:18:45,067
Speaker 12: to occur. While they put those machines on short tracks

357
00:18:45,467 --> 00:18:47,387
Speaker 12: and trying to get them as close to the public

358
00:18:47,427 --> 00:18:50,987
Speaker 12: as possible. It's not possible to the human brain to

359
00:18:51,107 --> 00:18:54,427
Speaker 12: comprehend what goes wrong when the front the front runner

360
00:18:54,667 --> 00:18:55,227
Speaker 12: ships up.

361
00:18:55,347 --> 00:18:58,707
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, it's some And Jeff, you've landed on

362
00:18:58,747 --> 00:19:02,187
Speaker 3: a really interesting point, which is the size of the

363
00:19:02,307 --> 00:19:05,427
Speaker 3: race course. It's different, as you'll know, across all of

364
00:19:05,427 --> 00:19:10,067
Speaker 3: these venues. Auckland is one of the tighter race tracks,

365
00:19:10,107 --> 00:19:13,947
Speaker 3: and you know when you squeeze thirteen and maybe next

366
00:19:13,987 --> 00:19:16,547
Speaker 3: to your fourteen boats on there, it is it's that

367
00:19:16,627 --> 00:19:20,707
Speaker 3: the margins for era just become so much smaller, don't they.

368
00:19:21,587 --> 00:19:24,587
Speaker 12: Well I'll say it on the Harbor thousands of times,

369
00:19:24,707 --> 00:19:29,187
Speaker 12: and the racetrack is basically there's a racetrack that's similar

370
00:19:29,227 --> 00:19:33,547
Speaker 12: to that, and then you know the Friday Friday scramblers

371
00:19:33,547 --> 00:19:36,267
Speaker 12: get out there and and certainly the girls get out

372
00:19:36,307 --> 00:19:39,387
Speaker 12: there and do their thing, but how shall I say it,

373
00:19:39,747 --> 00:19:42,787
Speaker 12: they're not going at the speeded these guys are going.

374
00:19:43,107 --> 00:19:46,547
Speaker 12: And it's absolutely there's going to be something fatal because

375
00:19:46,827 --> 00:19:50,987
Speaker 12: it's all we will a monohole hitting another monohole. But

376
00:19:51,747 --> 00:19:54,667
Speaker 12: these aren't monoholes. These are these are you know, high

377
00:19:54,707 --> 00:19:59,627
Speaker 12: speed dreadnoughts. And at the end of the day, it'll

378
00:19:59,667 --> 00:20:02,547
Speaker 12: be it'll take someone to get killed, or god forbid,

379
00:20:02,667 --> 00:20:05,347
Speaker 12: someone fall off the goddamn boat and get run over

380
00:20:05,387 --> 00:20:06,347
Speaker 12: by the boat behind them.

381
00:20:06,427 --> 00:20:07,067
Speaker 13: You know.

382
00:20:07,627 --> 00:20:11,307
Speaker 12: The reactions are well, they just can't do it that.

383
00:20:11,427 --> 00:20:14,307
Speaker 12: The human brain can't comprehend it.

384
00:20:14,347 --> 00:20:16,347
Speaker 3: So in your view, Jeff, it needs to be split

385
00:20:17,067 --> 00:20:21,467
Speaker 3: permanently moving forward. Would that be your your prediction, your suggestion.

386
00:20:22,147 --> 00:20:25,587
Speaker 12: I think fourteen boats rounding a mark like that, that

387
00:20:25,707 --> 00:20:28,547
Speaker 12: close to the rocks is just out of this world,

388
00:20:28,627 --> 00:20:31,587
Speaker 12: you know. It's just it's a recipe for disaster, and

389
00:20:31,627 --> 00:20:35,187
Speaker 12: it goes back to management, health and safety all the

390
00:20:35,227 --> 00:20:38,307
Speaker 12: rest of the who are and carry on. The guys' lives,

391
00:20:38,467 --> 00:20:41,627
Speaker 12: I believe, are far worth far more than any boat,

392
00:20:41,667 --> 00:20:42,227
Speaker 12: you know what I mean.

393
00:20:43,387 --> 00:20:45,507
Speaker 3: And they would say that too, They would say that

394
00:20:45,547 --> 00:20:47,267
Speaker 3: as well. What they're trying to strike, as you know,

395
00:20:47,387 --> 00:20:51,507
Speaker 3: is the balance between entertainment and the most compelling product

396
00:20:51,947 --> 00:20:55,747
Speaker 3: on the water, with guaranteeing to as high a degree

397
00:20:55,787 --> 00:20:58,307
Speaker 3: as they possibly can the safety of those involved.

398
00:20:58,707 --> 00:21:00,987
Speaker 12: Will we the closest you'll find to it is the

399
00:21:01,187 --> 00:21:06,867
Speaker 12: racing on on what do they call it? The island,

400
00:21:08,787 --> 00:21:13,547
Speaker 12: and they go back for more and more motivate racing.

401
00:21:13,947 --> 00:21:15,667
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yep.

402
00:21:17,107 --> 00:21:17,747
Speaker 7: And I think and.

403
00:21:19,747 --> 00:21:21,547
Speaker 12: I can't think of the name of the plate up there,

404
00:21:22,027 --> 00:21:22,507
Speaker 12: up there and.

405
00:21:24,427 --> 00:21:25,067
Speaker 7: Up in Europe?

406
00:21:25,347 --> 00:21:27,307
Speaker 3: Is it the Isle of Man race that you're talking about?

407
00:21:27,467 --> 00:21:30,627
Speaker 12: The Isle of Man racing? It's just there almost like

408
00:21:30,707 --> 00:21:33,027
Speaker 12: running with the balls, you know, that type of scene

409
00:21:33,067 --> 00:21:36,867
Speaker 12: where you've almost got a death was Syringder. You're not

410
00:21:36,987 --> 00:21:40,507
Speaker 12: guaranteed to finish at all, you know, you do, you

411
00:21:40,627 --> 00:21:41,707
Speaker 12: do very very well.

412
00:21:41,747 --> 00:21:45,147
Speaker 3: You know indeede if I think you know a great call,

413
00:21:45,187 --> 00:21:48,547
Speaker 3: make great analysis, thank you. They I think if you

414
00:21:48,587 --> 00:21:51,427
Speaker 3: asked a lot of the sailors, the speed is part

415
00:21:51,467 --> 00:21:54,987
Speaker 3: of the attraction, right, I mean, that's it you talk

416
00:21:55,067 --> 00:21:57,747
Speaker 3: to any of them, And it's probably the same with

417
00:21:57,827 --> 00:22:01,507
Speaker 3: any extreme sport, with Formula one, with a number of

418
00:22:01,547 --> 00:22:04,627
Speaker 3: the sports we're seeing at the Winter Olympics at the moment.

419
00:22:05,427 --> 00:22:10,027
Speaker 3: There is high and small margins for error, but in

420
00:22:10,067 --> 00:22:13,547
Speaker 3: many ways I'm sure that is the attraction, that is

421
00:22:13,587 --> 00:22:18,107
Speaker 3: the attraction of being involved, and from a spectator point

422
00:22:18,107 --> 00:22:21,987
Speaker 3: of view, exactly the same applies. We want to see

423
00:22:22,227 --> 00:22:26,347
Speaker 3: excitement on our screens. And what SALEGP has done is

424
00:22:26,747 --> 00:22:30,067
Speaker 3: you know, it's effectively the T twenty version of sailing.

425
00:22:30,107 --> 00:22:33,107
Speaker 3: Isn't it so so different from many of the other

426
00:22:33,427 --> 00:22:36,347
Speaker 3: formats we've seen in the past. And Freddie Carr himself

427
00:22:36,347 --> 00:22:40,147
Speaker 3: even said, you know, sale GP is not popular universally.

428
00:22:40,267 --> 00:22:42,667
Speaker 3: Some you know, some of the sailing die hards if

429
00:22:42,707 --> 00:22:45,907
Speaker 3: we want to call them, that aren't fans. But it's

430
00:22:45,947 --> 00:22:47,907
Speaker 3: a track that a whole bunch of new ones and

431
00:22:48,947 --> 00:22:53,627
Speaker 3: has become very very compelling viewing. Jeff, thanks for your call,

432
00:22:53,867 --> 00:22:55,867
Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, if you'd like

433
00:22:55,947 --> 00:22:58,747
Speaker 3: to add your voice to the conversation. We'll have the

434
00:22:58,787 --> 00:23:01,227
Speaker 3: result of the final fleet race shortly and then the

435
00:23:01,267 --> 00:23:05,147
Speaker 3: three participants and the winner takes all final. Across the

436
00:23:05,187 --> 00:23:09,107
Speaker 3: weekend and since the Thursday, the Women's Amateur asiapas of

437
00:23:09,147 --> 00:23:12,227
Speaker 3: a Golf Championship has been happening at Royal Wellington or

438
00:23:12,227 --> 00:23:16,507
Speaker 3: into the final day today very windy, I understand in

439
00:23:16,587 --> 00:23:19,187
Speaker 3: Wellington today, Steve, where has been our man on courses?

440
00:23:19,227 --> 00:23:23,147
Speaker 3: The wind playing its part today, Steve, as these golfers

441
00:23:23,147 --> 00:23:25,547
Speaker 3: negotiate the final round and.

442
00:23:25,587 --> 00:23:27,587
Speaker 11: Jason, Yeah, surely is as the main factor.

443
00:23:27,587 --> 00:23:28,107
Speaker 14: At the moment.

444
00:23:28,467 --> 00:23:31,867
Speaker 11: The leaders are quite holding position at minus thirteen, minus twelve,

445
00:23:31,907 --> 00:23:35,507
Speaker 11: minus ten the three Korean teammates, but best on course.

446
00:23:35,547 --> 00:23:37,907
Speaker 11: There are a couple of players well down the leader

447
00:23:37,907 --> 00:23:40,947
Speaker 11: board at minus two best in the leading pack, a

448
00:23:40,947 --> 00:23:43,867
Speaker 11: couple of players at minus one. That rain is now

449
00:23:43,907 --> 00:23:45,587
Speaker 11: looks like it's going to move in early and about

450
00:23:45,587 --> 00:23:47,427
Speaker 11: that three o'clock windows, it's going to have a big

451
00:23:47,427 --> 00:23:48,147
Speaker 11: impact the weather.

452
00:23:48,547 --> 00:23:50,707
Speaker 3: So what does that mean, Steve? Will they could they

453
00:23:50,707 --> 00:23:54,587
Speaker 3: potentially postpone play today? Might they come back tomorrow? Is

454
00:23:54,587 --> 00:23:55,907
Speaker 3: there the possibility of that or not?

455
00:23:57,027 --> 00:24:00,267
Speaker 11: No, I'm both those Jason. It won't be poor enough

456
00:24:00,267 --> 00:24:02,867
Speaker 11: that it would close the course, and the course is

457
00:24:02,867 --> 00:24:04,907
Speaker 11: closed and or the safety to the players is the

458
00:24:04,947 --> 00:24:05,547
Speaker 11: key issue.

459
00:24:05,707 --> 00:24:06,867
Speaker 14: The wind will get up, but.

460
00:24:07,107 --> 00:24:09,747
Speaker 15: Certainly with a lot of those players traveling internationally, there's

461
00:24:09,747 --> 00:24:12,307
Speaker 15: no opposuit to play tomorrow. It'll get done, but it's

462
00:24:12,507 --> 00:24:14,547
Speaker 15: to be it's going to be challenging at the end,

463
00:24:15,027 --> 00:24:18,107
Speaker 15: and that kiwispace. Darry Toong's making her race.

464
00:24:17,907 --> 00:24:20,267
Speaker 14: Of it for the best Kiwi.

465
00:24:20,507 --> 00:24:23,067
Speaker 11: She's sitting currently at plus two. All the rest of

466
00:24:23,107 --> 00:24:26,227
Speaker 11: the kiwis at plus seven plus eight, including Elise Barber,

467
00:24:26,347 --> 00:24:27,947
Speaker 11: so they get knocked around to see a bit.

468
00:24:28,507 --> 00:24:31,627
Speaker 3: Indeed they do, Steve, Thanks for your report. We'll checking

469
00:24:31,667 --> 00:24:33,187
Speaker 3: again with you in an hour or so from now.

470
00:24:33,227 --> 00:24:36,267
Speaker 3: That's Steve where on course at Royal Wellington for the

471
00:24:36,547 --> 00:24:41,067
Speaker 3: Women's Amateur Asia Pacific Golf Championship. Text through here actually

472
00:24:41,067 --> 00:24:44,307
Speaker 3: from Peter. I had the pleasure of following Elise Barber yesterday.

473
00:24:44,507 --> 00:24:47,347
Speaker 3: Huge talent and she missed a hole in one by

474
00:24:47,347 --> 00:24:50,867
Speaker 3: a centimeter, so privileged to see it. Thanks indeed, Peter

475
00:24:50,947 --> 00:24:52,987
Speaker 3: for that. We will get you back to Royal Wellington,

476
00:24:54,107 --> 00:24:56,187
Speaker 3: Glenn says on text. I'le confess and I'm pretty sure

477
00:24:56,187 --> 00:24:58,987
Speaker 3: I'm not alone in this. Anything that's dangerous, risky and

478
00:24:58,987 --> 00:25:00,747
Speaker 3: with the chance of a crash or an accident makes

479
00:25:00,747 --> 00:25:03,227
Speaker 3: it something which is a bit more compelling to watch.

480
00:25:03,307 --> 00:25:08,187
Speaker 3: The attraction of motorsport is partly down to the spectacular crashes.

481
00:25:08,227 --> 00:25:11,347
Speaker 3: Of course, nobody wants to see anyone get hurt, and

482
00:25:11,427 --> 00:25:15,987
Speaker 3: these days races of any kind are super safe, but

483
00:25:16,107 --> 00:25:19,827
Speaker 3: crashes do have the ability to enthrall. The extreme nature

484
00:25:19,867 --> 00:25:22,627
Speaker 3: now of foil sailing has the same elements as motor

485
00:25:22,707 --> 00:25:26,387
Speaker 3: racing and will probably grow as a spectator sport as

486
00:25:26,707 --> 00:25:30,867
Speaker 3: a result and number eight hundred and eighty ten eighty

487
00:25:30,907 --> 00:25:33,067
Speaker 3: twenty five to one. Very sure we're going to hear

488
00:25:33,147 --> 00:25:37,227
Speaker 3: from sale GP CEO Russell Coots. Sir Russell Coots. Now,

489
00:25:37,227 --> 00:25:40,027
Speaker 3: this was an interview we recorded yesterday, so there's no

490
00:25:40,187 --> 00:25:42,547
Speaker 3: mention of what happened on the water yesterday, but we

491
00:25:42,587 --> 00:25:45,507
Speaker 3: thought it was still irrelevant interview to play with regards

492
00:25:45,507 --> 00:25:48,507
Speaker 3: to the future of sale GP and what it might

493
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:50,987
Speaker 3: look like. So that's coming for you shortly. Back to

521
00:27:26,747 --> 00:27:30,067
Speaker 3: Auckland before the one o'clock news. I had the opportunity

522
00:27:30,147 --> 00:27:32,987
Speaker 3: yesterday to speak with sal GP CEO, Sir Russell Coots.

523
00:27:32,987 --> 00:27:36,187
Speaker 3: He's been the driving force behind sale GP as CEO

524
00:27:36,307 --> 00:27:39,987
Speaker 3: and co founder, instrumental in creating and growing a fast,

525
00:27:40,267 --> 00:27:43,747
Speaker 3: global high performance Sailing League. Now this was recorded before

526
00:27:43,947 --> 00:27:46,627
Speaker 3: what we saw play out on the water yesterday, so

527
00:27:46,667 --> 00:27:49,267
Speaker 3: there's no reference to the events on day one, but

528
00:27:49,347 --> 00:27:51,267
Speaker 3: still keen to let your hair is overall thoughts on

529
00:27:51,347 --> 00:27:53,987
Speaker 3: sale GP and where it might head in the future.

530
00:27:54,267 --> 00:27:56,867
Speaker 3: I started by asking if the very rapid growth of

531
00:27:56,947 --> 00:28:01,187
Speaker 3: sale GP was what he imagined right from the start, was.

532
00:28:01,147 --> 00:28:04,067
Speaker 17: What we hoped for at the start, It's not necessarily

533
00:28:04,107 --> 00:28:09,427
Speaker 17: what we thought would happen this quick, So yeah, that's

534
00:28:09,547 --> 00:28:14,067
Speaker 17: that's encouraging science. You know, we're definitely building very fast

535
00:28:14,107 --> 00:28:19,867
Speaker 17: and attracting new audiences in new markets, so you know,

536
00:28:19,867 --> 00:28:22,987
Speaker 17: it's encouraging to see. Think, I think the racing product

537
00:28:23,067 --> 00:28:25,587
Speaker 17: really stacks up. It's pretty clear that we are getting

538
00:28:26,427 --> 00:28:30,227
Speaker 17: fans from a much broader spectrum than just the avid

539
00:28:30,227 --> 00:28:33,427
Speaker 17: sailing fan. We're getting the racing fan, we're getting the

540
00:28:33,427 --> 00:28:36,587
Speaker 17: general sports fan, and we're also getting I think the

541
00:28:36,627 --> 00:28:39,507
Speaker 17: lifestyle sector that's coming along to our events just to

542
00:28:39,547 --> 00:28:40,027
Speaker 17: have fun.

543
00:28:40,747 --> 00:28:44,147
Speaker 3: The f fifties they're extraordinary machines, aren't they. Is there

544
00:28:44,227 --> 00:28:47,667
Speaker 3: still performance to unlock in the f fifties, do you believe?

545
00:28:48,107 --> 00:28:48,267
Speaker 7: Oh?

546
00:28:48,307 --> 00:28:51,307
Speaker 17: Absolutely, particularly in the lighter ones, you know, which is

547
00:28:51,347 --> 00:28:55,467
Speaker 17: a real focus. We want to get more movement on screen,

548
00:28:55,827 --> 00:29:00,587
Speaker 17: and so yeah, clearly the light wind performances is something

549
00:29:00,667 --> 00:29:05,707
Speaker 17: that we are developing. Quite we've got a lot of focus,

550
00:29:07,507 --> 00:29:10,187
Speaker 17: you know. Having said that, the fact that the boats

551
00:29:10,187 --> 00:29:12,787
Speaker 17: are equal, I think is one of the big compelling

552
00:29:12,867 --> 00:29:16,827
Speaker 17: reasons why the product stacks up. I mean, nine different

553
00:29:16,827 --> 00:29:19,707
Speaker 17: teams have now one events and all of the teams

554
00:29:19,747 --> 00:29:23,547
Speaker 17: have won races, and eleven out of the twelve teams

555
00:29:23,587 --> 00:29:25,347
Speaker 17: that competed last year. Of course we've got an next

556
00:29:25,427 --> 00:29:28,387
Speaker 17: additional one from Sweden this year. Eleven out of the

557
00:29:28,427 --> 00:29:32,627
Speaker 17: twelve finished on the podium at some stage, so that

558
00:29:32,747 --> 00:29:38,187
Speaker 17: makes it compelling. You know, it's very unpredictable. Of course,

559
00:29:38,507 --> 00:29:43,747
Speaker 17: fans following their teams, their local teams, they want to

560
00:29:43,747 --> 00:29:45,667
Speaker 17: see performance. They want to see the team do well.

561
00:29:45,747 --> 00:29:48,347
Speaker 17: So if they can occasionally get on the podium, even

562
00:29:48,347 --> 00:29:50,947
Speaker 17: if they're not winning the championship, that's a bonus.

563
00:29:51,427 --> 00:29:54,187
Speaker 3: With such a tight field, the world's best sailors, as

564
00:29:54,227 --> 00:29:58,267
Speaker 3: you say, identical boats race to race. What is giving

565
00:29:58,747 --> 00:30:02,027
Speaker 3: one boat an advantage over another or the rest of

566
00:30:02,067 --> 00:30:03,467
Speaker 3: the field, Well.

567
00:30:03,267 --> 00:30:07,387
Speaker 17: It's the team on board. And we've seen several crew

568
00:30:07,427 --> 00:30:10,947
Speaker 17: swaps this year and that's been significant. You know. It

569
00:30:11,027 --> 00:30:16,187
Speaker 17: was interesting. I thought the British wouldn't go so well

570
00:30:16,307 --> 00:30:20,787
Speaker 17: in Perth, you know. I mean, not that Stu Brithel

571
00:30:21,187 --> 00:30:23,787
Speaker 17: that they swapped the Engens and out their wing tremor

572
00:30:24,667 --> 00:30:28,067
Speaker 17: for Stue Berthel and Sue was of course with the

573
00:30:28,147 --> 00:30:32,707
Speaker 17: German team before that, and not that Stew's, you know,

574
00:30:33,107 --> 00:30:37,147
Speaker 17: not capable. He's the Olympic gold medalist, in fact, both

575
00:30:37,147 --> 00:30:41,467
Speaker 17: of them are. But I just felt that that combination

576
00:30:41,627 --> 00:30:45,267
Speaker 17: was working incredibly well on the British boat. So that

577
00:30:45,467 --> 00:30:47,307
Speaker 17: was a surprise to me that to see them go

578
00:30:47,387 --> 00:30:49,787
Speaker 17: so well on Perth, and probably a bit of a

579
00:30:49,787 --> 00:30:52,507
Speaker 17: red flag for the other teams, because of course they

580
00:30:52,507 --> 00:30:55,907
Speaker 17: get the season champions or the twenty twenty four season champions,

581
00:30:55,947 --> 00:30:57,987
Speaker 17: and to come out and win that first event with

582
00:30:58,027 --> 00:31:02,987
Speaker 17: such a significant crew change is a warning sign, I

583
00:31:02,987 --> 00:31:07,187
Speaker 17: would suggest for the other teams. Having said that, though

584
00:31:07,947 --> 00:31:11,427
Speaker 17: the Australians you bought and Glenn Ashby, and I thought

585
00:31:11,467 --> 00:31:14,787
Speaker 17: that would be a massive disadvantage for them. Again, Glenn's

586
00:31:14,787 --> 00:31:19,787
Speaker 17: a very accomplished racer, but he hasn't been racing regularly

587
00:31:20,267 --> 00:31:23,667
Speaker 17: and he's no spring chicken anymore, you know, so I

588
00:31:23,707 --> 00:31:25,987
Speaker 17: felt that that would be a real disadvantage for them,

589
00:31:26,027 --> 00:31:29,427
Speaker 17: and they finished in second place. It might have been

590
00:31:29,467 --> 00:31:31,467
Speaker 17: helped by the Kiwis getting knocked out in the first

591
00:31:31,547 --> 00:31:35,227
Speaker 17: race too, you know, who knows. The French were very

592
00:31:35,267 --> 00:31:37,547
Speaker 17: competitive and the strong Wines as you'd expect, and I

593
00:31:37,627 --> 00:31:39,667
Speaker 17: expect them to be competitive here in Auckland.

594
00:31:40,467 --> 00:31:44,387
Speaker 3: Data and analytics have become central to sal GP. Always were,

595
00:31:44,427 --> 00:31:47,387
Speaker 3: but even more so are we heading towards a time

596
00:31:47,427 --> 00:31:50,787
Speaker 3: when sal GP is as data driven as Formula one

597
00:31:50,947 --> 00:31:51,987
Speaker 3: for example.

598
00:31:52,587 --> 00:31:59,387
Speaker 17: Well, in some ways more so because all of the coaches.

599
00:31:59,427 --> 00:32:01,907
Speaker 17: If you walk into the coaching booth this weekend, you'll

600
00:32:01,907 --> 00:32:04,947
Speaker 17: see that all of the coaches can see all the

601
00:32:05,027 --> 00:32:08,027
Speaker 17: data from all the boats and they can interrogate that

602
00:32:08,147 --> 00:32:12,827
Speaker 17: system live. So, for example, they could ask the system

603
00:32:13,027 --> 00:32:17,067
Speaker 17: for reasons why one boat's performing better than another and

604
00:32:17,107 --> 00:32:19,787
Speaker 17: it will spit out ten insights as to why it's

605
00:32:19,827 --> 00:32:24,307
Speaker 17: doing that instantly. So of course, in Formula one, each

606
00:32:24,347 --> 00:32:28,227
Speaker 17: team has their own data and that's kept very secret.

607
00:32:29,747 --> 00:32:32,907
Speaker 17: Here you have access to the data. It doesn't necessarily

608
00:32:32,947 --> 00:32:36,067
Speaker 17: mean you can duplicate performance though, you know, there's some

609
00:32:36,147 --> 00:32:38,667
Speaker 17: of the teams it's well known that they're able to

610
00:32:38,667 --> 00:32:42,307
Speaker 17: fly the boats higher, which is a combination between the

611
00:32:42,347 --> 00:32:47,947
Speaker 17: wing trimmer, the flight controller, and the driver. Yet they

612
00:32:48,027 --> 00:32:53,507
Speaker 17: can't duplicate that performance because some people are more skillful

613
00:32:53,547 --> 00:32:56,987
Speaker 17: with their reading of the wind or their communication on board,

614
00:32:57,587 --> 00:33:00,627
Speaker 17: and you're just seeing that slight difference, and that's quite

615
00:33:00,627 --> 00:33:02,907
Speaker 17: a big drag difference. You're seeing sort of two and

616
00:33:02,947 --> 00:33:08,027
Speaker 17: a half centimeters of average ride height in some cases

617
00:33:08,067 --> 00:33:10,707
Speaker 17: where some teams are able to consistently fly higher than

618
00:33:10,707 --> 00:33:14,507
Speaker 17: the others and reduce the drags. So all identical equipment,

619
00:33:15,107 --> 00:33:18,307
Speaker 17: they know what the differences are down to the millimeter,

620
00:33:18,747 --> 00:33:22,467
Speaker 17: and yet they can't necessarily duplicate that, which is I

621
00:33:22,507 --> 00:33:23,827
Speaker 17: suppose understandable in a way.

622
00:33:23,827 --> 00:33:24,627
Speaker 3: You know, the skill.

623
00:33:24,427 --> 00:33:27,547
Speaker 17: Of the athlete, the skill of the humans coming through.

624
00:33:27,667 --> 00:33:31,267
Speaker 3: Yeah, you nailed with that, will the human side of it,

625
00:33:31,307 --> 00:33:34,427
Speaker 3: the instinct, that sort of thing. As we sit here today,

626
00:33:34,427 --> 00:33:37,027
Speaker 3: what is the future of sale gp Auckland.

627
00:33:37,747 --> 00:33:40,747
Speaker 17: Well, you know, we definitely want to come back our

628
00:33:40,827 --> 00:33:44,107
Speaker 17: goal with the league. Now we've sort of gone through

629
00:33:44,187 --> 00:33:48,547
Speaker 17: the I suppose the establishing stage where we had to

630
00:33:48,667 --> 00:33:52,907
Speaker 17: establish a brand new league product and convince people that

631
00:33:52,987 --> 00:33:55,627
Speaker 17: it was going to work, and we're probably past.

632
00:33:55,467 --> 00:33:56,307
Speaker 9: That stage now.

633
00:33:57,147 --> 00:34:00,507
Speaker 17: And so now we want to solidify the calendar because

634
00:34:00,547 --> 00:34:03,427
Speaker 17: if you think about the business side of the operation,

635
00:34:05,187 --> 00:34:08,827
Speaker 17: we are getting rate viewership in some of our events,

636
00:34:08,907 --> 00:34:13,587
Speaker 17: but we lack the consistency of schedule and number of

637
00:34:13,627 --> 00:34:18,107
Speaker 17: events to really be able to commercial for those, for example,

638
00:34:18,187 --> 00:34:21,627
Speaker 17: broadcast partners to fully commercialize the product. So if you

639
00:34:21,627 --> 00:34:24,947
Speaker 17: look at Formula one or Motor GP, twenty four and

640
00:34:24,987 --> 00:34:29,867
Speaker 17: twenty three events per season, and we're thirteen, about to

641
00:34:29,947 --> 00:34:34,547
Speaker 17: become fourteen events per season, so.

642
00:34:34,467 --> 00:34:35,267
Speaker 8: We need to grow that.

643
00:34:35,387 --> 00:34:38,027
Speaker 17: You know, there's a certain there's a number that you

644
00:34:38,187 --> 00:34:42,067
Speaker 17: need to really for to be able to for the

645
00:34:42,067 --> 00:34:44,987
Speaker 17: broadcast partners to be able to take that to other

646
00:34:45,187 --> 00:34:48,387
Speaker 17: entities and be able to fully commercialize it on a

647
00:34:48,387 --> 00:34:50,867
Speaker 17: regular basis. And once we can do that, I think

648
00:34:50,867 --> 00:34:56,147
Speaker 17: we've going to see a big jump in audience and

649
00:34:56,187 --> 00:34:57,987
Speaker 17: also I think values as well.

650
00:34:58,147 --> 00:35:01,307
Speaker 3: So the expansion is more venues. What about more teams?

651
00:35:01,467 --> 00:35:03,307
Speaker 17: Yeah, we want to go to twenty teams, So next

652
00:35:03,467 --> 00:35:07,747
Speaker 17: we've already got fourteen. Now fourteenth will start next season,

653
00:35:09,147 --> 00:35:10,707
Speaker 17: so that'll be announced in due course.

654
00:35:12,027 --> 00:35:13,827
Speaker 3: You could give us the exclusive now.

655
00:35:14,307 --> 00:35:14,787
Speaker 8: I could do.

656
00:35:14,987 --> 00:35:17,627
Speaker 17: I could do, but my PR team would shoot me right.

657
00:35:18,507 --> 00:35:22,867
Speaker 17: So yeah, there were fourteen teams next year, so we

658
00:35:22,987 --> 00:35:25,947
Speaker 17: will split next year into seven and seven, and then

659
00:35:25,947 --> 00:35:28,107
Speaker 17: we'll go to eight and eight, nine and nine and

660
00:35:28,147 --> 00:35:30,467
Speaker 17: ten and ten and that'll be the maximum. We'll go

661
00:35:30,467 --> 00:35:33,547
Speaker 17: to twenty teams. So we already have a lot of

662
00:35:33,587 --> 00:35:37,827
Speaker 17: interest for those new teams. We probably won't go to

663
00:35:37,947 --> 00:35:41,427
Speaker 17: market for teams fifteen and sixteen until later this year,

664
00:35:41,427 --> 00:35:45,987
Speaker 17: although there's obviously some entities are approaching us now, but

665
00:35:46,067 --> 00:35:49,787
Speaker 17: we won't actually go to market in a sales sense

666
00:35:50,787 --> 00:35:51,747
Speaker 17: until later this year.

667
00:35:52,747 --> 00:35:54,707
Speaker 3: No country would have more than one team, or can

668
00:35:54,747 --> 00:35:55,067
Speaker 3: you see it?

669
00:35:55,147 --> 00:35:58,027
Speaker 17: You can't have more than one team that No, we're

670
00:35:58,067 --> 00:36:02,107
Speaker 17: not going to change that rule. So we think there's

671
00:36:02,147 --> 00:36:04,547
Speaker 17: real value in that. You know, the team. Four of

672
00:36:04,587 --> 00:36:08,107
Speaker 17: the teams now are profitable, so you know, because we

673
00:36:08,187 --> 00:36:11,067
Speaker 17: have a spending cap on on what the teams can

674
00:36:11,187 --> 00:36:15,267
Speaker 17: spend each year, and they literally are pretty in a

675
00:36:15,347 --> 00:36:20,707
Speaker 17: real sense capped anyway because they can't buy new equipment

676
00:36:20,907 --> 00:36:24,547
Speaker 17: or develop equipment that they've got to use the equipment supplied,

677
00:36:25,387 --> 00:36:27,267
Speaker 17: so and they're not to let them modify that in

678
00:36:27,307 --> 00:36:33,067
Speaker 17: any way, so that effectively caps the cost. And then

679
00:36:33,147 --> 00:36:35,747
Speaker 17: four of the teams are able to generate a profit

680
00:36:35,787 --> 00:36:40,827
Speaker 17: from that from their commercial partnerships, and then in the

681
00:36:40,867 --> 00:36:44,867
Speaker 17: future course the teams we're just starting on this journey

682
00:36:44,867 --> 00:36:49,107
Speaker 17: now where they're starting to exploit exploit their licensing and

683
00:36:49,227 --> 00:36:53,427
Speaker 17: eventually of course meteorites which they share and for each

684
00:36:53,467 --> 00:36:56,507
Speaker 17: of the country. So yeah, it's it's it's going well.

685
00:36:56,547 --> 00:36:58,947
Speaker 17: Two of the two of the other teams are essentially

686
00:36:58,947 --> 00:37:01,187
Speaker 17: break even today and some of them are about to

687
00:37:01,307 --> 00:37:06,027
Speaker 17: announce new partnerships. So commercially for the teams, it's running

688
00:37:06,067 --> 00:37:08,907
Speaker 17: very well well, you know, as well as the league

689
00:37:09,627 --> 00:37:11,707
Speaker 17: to finish.

690
00:37:11,867 --> 00:37:15,427
Speaker 3: Do you ever miss the intensity of racing itself, being

691
00:37:15,467 --> 00:37:17,107
Speaker 3: out there with a spray in your face? Or do

692
00:37:17,147 --> 00:37:21,427
Speaker 3: you get a similar, if different buzz from this.

693
00:37:23,907 --> 00:37:26,267
Speaker 17: I get a buzz from watching this, you know. I mean,

694
00:37:27,147 --> 00:37:32,427
Speaker 17: I think any athlete that's competed at a high level,

695
00:37:33,027 --> 00:37:35,347
Speaker 17: when they can no longer compete at that same level,

696
00:37:35,787 --> 00:37:38,227
Speaker 17: it's not as much fun to compete anymore, you know,

697
00:37:38,307 --> 00:37:41,147
Speaker 17: And I know I wouldn't be anywhere near the level

698
00:37:41,227 --> 00:37:45,667
Speaker 17: that perhaps I once was, so to me that the

699
00:37:45,787 --> 00:37:49,027
Speaker 17: fun of that and the challenge of that's long gone.

700
00:37:50,227 --> 00:37:52,707
Speaker 17: But I get a huge amount of pleasure out of

701
00:37:52,747 --> 00:37:56,307
Speaker 17: watching the skill level develop of this new generation of

702
00:37:57,707 --> 00:38:02,627
Speaker 17: sailing athletes. I mean, they really are incredible. And when

703
00:38:02,707 --> 00:38:06,347
Speaker 17: you recognize how difficult these boats are to sail Littlelone range,

704
00:38:07,867 --> 00:38:12,307
Speaker 17: then the skill level is exceptional. It is across the board,

705
00:38:12,387 --> 00:38:15,787
Speaker 17: you know, I mean, to get in the top half

706
00:38:15,787 --> 00:38:18,147
Speaker 17: of this fleet's very difficult, to get on the padiums

707
00:38:18,187 --> 00:38:22,467
Speaker 17: exceptionally difficult, and to win the overall you know, Rollings

708
00:38:22,547 --> 00:38:26,147
Speaker 17: VGP Championship, you've really got to put it all together

709
00:38:26,387 --> 00:38:27,667
Speaker 17: across an entire season.

710
00:38:27,827 --> 00:38:29,747
Speaker 8: So yeah, it's not easy.

711
00:38:32,187 --> 00:38:34,387
Speaker 17: But the encouraging thing is I think I think we've

712
00:38:34,387 --> 00:38:37,827
Speaker 17: got some incredible young athletes coming through now and as

713
00:38:37,867 --> 00:38:40,707
Speaker 17: we develop those pathways further to bring those athletes on,

714
00:38:40,827 --> 00:38:43,787
Speaker 17: I think I think, you know, even here in New Zealand,

715
00:38:43,827 --> 00:38:49,547
Speaker 17: there's some very very capable, talented young what I believe

716
00:38:49,587 --> 00:38:53,267
Speaker 17: will become future stars of the sport. And you know,

717
00:38:53,667 --> 00:38:55,147
Speaker 17: that's super exciting to see.

718
00:38:56,027 --> 00:38:58,867
Speaker 3: Well in the middle of an extraordinarily busy weekend for you, Russell,

00:39:06,027 --> 00:39:09,267

734
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:38,067
Speaker 3: to be factored into all of this. It's eight away

735
00:39:38,107 --> 00:39:42,387

757
00:40:52,187 --> 00:40:54,147
Speaker 3: up and down the course. And as far as Spain

758
00:40:54,187 --> 00:40:57,347
Speaker 3: are concerned, it does reinvigorate their season after they were

759
00:40:57,427 --> 00:41:01,387
Speaker 3: unable to compete in Perth and scored no season points,

760
00:41:01,427 --> 00:41:03,827

Speaker 3: forward to eleven thirty because the scheduled start at four

785
00:42:21,387 --> 00:42:25,027
Speaker 3: o'clock this afternoon might have met with some fairly hairy

786
00:42:25,107 --> 00:42:28,187
Speaker 3: weather conditions, so the organizers made there, as it turns out,

787
00:42:28,227 --> 00:42:31,187
Speaker 3: fairly wise decision to bring it all forward Blue Skies

788
00:42:31,587 --> 00:42:33,587
Speaker 3: for the most part here in Auckland at the moment,

789
00:42:34,107 --> 00:42:36,227
Speaker 3: we hope to get you some reaction out of the

790

797
00:42:58,347 --> 00:43:00,667
Speaker 3: having not of course been able to compete in Perth.

798
00:43:00,747 --> 00:43:03,747

Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty nine nine and two on text.

801
00:43:08,907 --> 00:43:11,107
Speaker 3: As I say, we'll bring you some more A little

802
00:43:11,107 --> 00:43:14,067
Speaker 3: bit later on from the Australian team and maybe a

803
00:43:14,107 --> 00:43:15,867
Speaker 3: couple of the other teams as well who are involved.

804
00:43:15,867 --> 00:43:19,467
Speaker 3: Today you would have heard in the news the update

805
00:43:19,627 --> 00:43:23,627
Speaker 3: around Black Fols sailor Lewis Sinclair surgery on his right

806
00:43:23,747 --> 00:43:26,947
Speaker 3: leg following injuries suffered in the collision yesterday, a statement

807
00:43:26,987 --> 00:43:28,747
Speaker 3: from the team saying the medical team very pleased with

808
00:43:28,787 --> 00:43:31,507
Speaker 3: the results of the surgery and they're positive about his

809
00:43:31,747 --> 00:43:35,507
Speaker 3: ongoing recovery. So that's excellent news of the Black Foyles

810
00:43:35,547 --> 00:43:37,947
Speaker 3: camp and obviously more to come over the days ahead

811
00:43:38,187 --> 00:43:42,787
Speaker 3: with regards to their ongoing participation. Obviously they'll continue to participate,

812
00:43:42,827 --> 00:43:44,187
Speaker 3: but when are they going to get that boat back

813
00:43:44,227 --> 00:43:46,627
Speaker 3: on the water. I guess that's the big, big question

814
00:43:46,707 --> 00:43:49,027
Speaker 3: to be answered over the next little while for the

815
00:43:49,307 --> 00:43:52,907
Speaker 3: Black Foils team, I'm going to shift our attention to rugby,

816
00:43:52,947 --> 00:43:55,347
Speaker 3: those super rugby of course. And the backdrop to the

817
00:43:55,427 --> 00:43:58,107
Speaker 3: sailing has had its opening weekend, it has all finished,

818
00:43:58,147 --> 00:44:01,707
Speaker 3: and the Chiefs have made the perfect start to life

819
00:44:01,787 --> 00:44:03,467
Speaker 3: under their new coach John Ogibbs.

820
00:44:03,987 --> 00:44:08,747
Speaker 4: It's stolen by the Chiefs, Steel Rising High, taking its

821
00:44:08,987 --> 00:44:12,067
Speaker 4: beautiful take from Tuo Po VII and now they can

822
00:44:12,147 --> 00:44:15,907
Speaker 4: really wind down the clock, go slow back right, Tom

823
00:44:17,067 --> 00:44:20,587
Speaker 4: wants one more phase. Siren went just as he handed

824
00:44:20,707 --> 00:44:23,627
Speaker 4: off that pass. He won't find another player to pass to.

825
00:44:23,707 --> 00:44:25,907
Speaker 4: In fact he does, but that's to drill it over

826
00:44:25,987 --> 00:44:30,027
Speaker 4: the touch line and the Chiefs take the Battle of

827
00:44:30,067 --> 00:44:33,347
Speaker 4: the Bombays. Super Rugby's near him in over the last

828
00:44:33,667 --> 00:44:37,227
Speaker 4: few years. Put a stake in the ground in round one.

829
00:44:37,747 --> 00:44:40,467
Speaker 3: Yeah, they certainly have. The Chiefs winning it nineteen fifteen

830
00:44:40,547 --> 00:44:42,747
Speaker 3: over the Blues of Eden Park last night in their

831
00:44:42,787 --> 00:44:45,347
Speaker 3: season open or a late try to replacement half back

832
00:44:45,427 --> 00:44:47,667
Speaker 3: quarters without the most or the Chiefs claim and even

833
00:44:47,987 --> 00:44:52,027
Speaker 3: encounter dominated by strong performances from the forward packs. And

834
00:44:52,107 --> 00:44:55,627
Speaker 3: you heard in Elliot Smith's commentary there the vital line

835
00:44:55,667 --> 00:44:58,707
Speaker 3: out still at the end courtesy of Chiefs and all Blacks.

836
00:44:58,747 --> 00:45:01,187
Speaker 3: Locke to port v who joins us now two poor

837
00:45:01,227 --> 00:45:04,627
Speaker 3: things for your time. Huge win at eden Park last

838
00:45:04,707 --> 00:45:07,227
Speaker 3: night to open your season house satisf Was it to

839
00:45:07,267 --> 00:45:10,627
Speaker 3: start the twenty twenty six Super Rugby Pacific campaign in

840
00:45:10,707 --> 00:45:11,187
Speaker 3: that fashion?

841
00:45:11,987 --> 00:45:14,307
Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, Jackson, thanks for having me. No, it's awesome.

842
00:45:14,467 --> 00:45:18,187
Speaker 7: It's awesome to start our campaign on the right side

843
00:45:18,227 --> 00:45:22,587
Speaker 7: of the for season. So no, it's definitely a scrappy

844
00:45:22,627 --> 00:45:25,787
Speaker 7: when last night spoke about it. Last night was pretty scrappy,

845
00:45:26,107 --> 00:45:28,827
Speaker 7: but we're glad that we managed to come away at

846
00:45:28,827 --> 00:45:29,267
Speaker 7: four points.

847
00:45:29,347 --> 00:45:31,067
Speaker 8: So yeah, is that.

848
00:45:31,107 --> 00:45:34,307
Speaker 3: Typically what happens early in the season, that matches can

849
00:45:34,667 --> 00:45:37,027
Speaker 3: can become a bit scrappy, you know, due to the

850
00:45:37,067 --> 00:45:38,867
Speaker 3: fact that you're only just getting underway for the year.

851
00:45:40,667 --> 00:45:43,187
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess. So we definitely don't want to use

852
00:45:43,267 --> 00:45:46,587
Speaker 7: that as an excuse, but I guess the boys are

853
00:45:46,627 --> 00:45:50,827
Speaker 7: still building in combinations of having a few new players

854
00:45:50,827 --> 00:45:53,907
Speaker 7: in the group and obviously on the new head coast,

855
00:45:55,067 --> 00:45:58,907
Speaker 7: still slowly figuring out how we want to play. And yeah,

856
00:45:58,907 --> 00:46:00,307
Speaker 7: I guess it's just the start of the season and

857
00:46:00,427 --> 00:46:02,947
Speaker 7: I'm sure we'll build as the season goes on.

858
00:46:03,787 --> 00:46:05,867
Speaker 3: From you, though, mate, I mean, it was a very

859
00:46:05,947 --> 00:46:09,427
Speaker 3: strong individual performance, a try, a lot of defensive work.

860
00:46:09,987 --> 00:46:12,227
Speaker 3: How do you make sure that you're ready for big

861
00:46:12,307 --> 00:46:14,827
Speaker 3: performances like that at the start of a year.

862
00:46:17,987 --> 00:46:21,187
Speaker 7: I've been linching to be to be best playing for

863
00:46:21,227 --> 00:46:23,107
Speaker 7: the last four or five months, you know, I've had

864
00:46:23,147 --> 00:46:27,347
Speaker 7: the injury of my miniscus, and yeah, I was just

865
00:46:27,427 --> 00:46:30,707
Speaker 7: definitely aching to get back onto the field and pretty

866
00:46:30,747 --> 00:46:34,347
Speaker 7: much continue on where I left off. You know, Eden

867
00:46:34,387 --> 00:46:37,827
Speaker 7: Park was where I got injured, and you know there's

868
00:46:37,827 --> 00:46:41,067
Speaker 7: a lot of memories coming, you know, I'm saying in

869
00:46:41,147 --> 00:46:43,907
Speaker 7: that field too. Yeah, I guess it just comes down

870
00:46:43,947 --> 00:46:47,187
Speaker 7: to my mental preparation and how I prep during the weekend.

871
00:46:48,187 --> 00:46:51,987
Speaker 7: I guess I just see you trying to continue on

872
00:46:52,027 --> 00:46:52,547
Speaker 7: where I left off.

873
00:46:52,627 --> 00:46:55,707
Speaker 3: Really, Rob, I need to talk about your try jumping

874
00:46:55,747 --> 00:46:58,987
Speaker 3: over the defenders or what what pictures did you What

875
00:46:59,147 --> 00:47:01,427
Speaker 3: pictures did you see that that leads you to make

876
00:47:01,467 --> 00:47:03,307
Speaker 3: that decision and score that try?

877
00:47:05,187 --> 00:47:09,667
Speaker 7: Well, well, at that moment, I was thinking that because

878
00:47:09,707 --> 00:47:14,787
Speaker 7: I obviously watched the Lions via Ossie last year, and

879
00:47:15,307 --> 00:47:18,067
Speaker 7: obviously Dan the hooker from Ireland, he obviously took that

880
00:47:18,187 --> 00:47:21,387
Speaker 7: tap and did the diving motion to score that try

881
00:47:21,507 --> 00:47:26,467
Speaker 7: over the OSI defender, So so I obviously learned from that.

882
00:47:26,587 --> 00:47:29,347
Speaker 7: And then I've seen the pictures that the Blues defenders

883
00:47:29,347 --> 00:47:33,827
Speaker 7: were very low and yeah, I definitely wouldn't have won

884
00:47:33,907 --> 00:47:36,987
Speaker 7: their high battle. So yeah, just continue to do their

885
00:47:37,027 --> 00:47:41,747
Speaker 7: diving motion to score their try and funny enough being awarded.

886
00:47:41,387 --> 00:47:44,187
Speaker 3: It, so yeah, yeah, big big grin on your face

887
00:47:44,227 --> 00:47:46,267
Speaker 3: when it was When it was awarded, I think a

888
00:47:46,307 --> 00:47:48,387
Speaker 3: few people were wondering whether it was legal. You're obviously

889
00:47:48,387 --> 00:47:50,867
Speaker 3: done the research, as you say, by watching the lines

890
00:47:50,867 --> 00:47:52,667
Speaker 3: and knew that it was a try and then your

891
00:47:52,747 --> 00:47:56,187
Speaker 3: line out steel at the end to ensure the win.

892
00:47:56,827 --> 00:47:57,507
Speaker 3: How key was that?

893
00:47:59,267 --> 00:48:01,027
Speaker 7: It was definitely key? You know, we obviously had the

894
00:48:01,067 --> 00:48:05,467
Speaker 7: opportunity that line up before where we over brew it,

895
00:48:05,627 --> 00:48:08,227
Speaker 7: and no, it's crucial. You know, it was do or

896
00:48:08,307 --> 00:48:11,027
Speaker 7: die for us, and we knew we needed to get

897
00:48:11,107 --> 00:48:14,707
Speaker 7: one stop and yeah, lucky enough I got up in

898
00:48:14,747 --> 00:48:16,747
Speaker 7: the end and stole it for the lads to get

899
00:48:16,787 --> 00:48:18,507
Speaker 7: thee first game.

900
00:48:18,587 --> 00:48:20,627
Speaker 3: As you mentioned, under your new coach, John O. Gibbs,

901
00:48:20,667 --> 00:48:22,267
Speaker 3: he's been part of the chief setup for a while,

902
00:48:22,347 --> 00:48:25,787
Speaker 3: but he's now obviously head coach. How much has changed

903
00:48:26,267 --> 00:48:28,507
Speaker 3: in the way that he wants you to play compared

904
00:48:28,547 --> 00:48:31,387
Speaker 3: to say, how Clayton McMillan sets you up over the

905
00:48:31,467 --> 00:48:32,147
Speaker 3: last few years.

906
00:48:33,867 --> 00:48:37,467
Speaker 7: Yeah, not much has changed really. John has come in

907
00:48:37,587 --> 00:48:41,027
Speaker 7: and continued on what Plateson has built the last couple

908
00:48:41,027 --> 00:48:41,387
Speaker 7: of years.

909
00:48:41,427 --> 00:48:43,107
Speaker 14: And I guess.

910
00:48:42,947 --> 00:48:47,427
Speaker 7: He's been overseas coaching a lot over there, and I'm

911
00:48:47,427 --> 00:48:49,387
Speaker 7: sure we'll see a bit of that in our game

912
00:48:49,427 --> 00:48:52,147
Speaker 7: plan in the next few coming weeks, But not much

913
00:48:52,187 --> 00:48:54,427
Speaker 7: has changed, So I guess the only thing that's changed

914
00:48:54,507 --> 00:48:58,027
Speaker 7: is the guy in the driver's seat and john and

915
00:48:59,267 --> 00:49:04,027
Speaker 7: Johnna brings a lot of old school flavors, so yeah,

916
00:49:04,147 --> 00:49:06,707
Speaker 7: the boys are definitely finding that at training. So yeah,

917
00:49:06,707 --> 00:49:09,027
Speaker 7: it's good stuff and it's you're probably a good change

918
00:49:09,067 --> 00:49:09,587
Speaker 7: for us as well.

919
00:49:10,387 --> 00:49:12,947
Speaker 3: Three Grand finals in the last three years without being

920
00:49:12,987 --> 00:49:17,147
Speaker 3: able to win Super Rugby, you surely must feel as

921
00:49:17,187 --> 00:49:20,467
Speaker 3: though that title is within reach. Is there anything, even

922
00:49:20,587 --> 00:49:23,707
Speaker 3: small things that you could do one five percent better

923
00:49:23,747 --> 00:49:27,507
Speaker 3: perhaps that will make a huge difference when that silverware

924
00:49:27,907 --> 00:49:28,507
Speaker 3: is handed out.

925
00:49:30,307 --> 00:49:33,227
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's obviously having at one a Grand Final in

926
00:49:33,267 --> 00:49:35,627
Speaker 7: the last three years, but it's not It's not easy

927
00:49:35,707 --> 00:49:38,427
Speaker 7: task to get to the finals for frequency goutive years.

928
00:49:38,507 --> 00:49:42,787
Speaker 7: But yeah, there's something that we really need to sit

929
00:49:42,867 --> 00:49:46,227
Speaker 7: down and really look deep into. And I guess it

930
00:49:46,387 --> 00:49:50,707
Speaker 7: just comes down to us as leaders, whether it's a

931
00:49:50,787 --> 00:49:54,227
Speaker 7: messaging on the field or how we prepped during the week.

932
00:49:55,227 --> 00:49:58,947
Speaker 7: But yeah, I think we just got to get a

933
00:49:59,067 --> 00:50:01,147
Speaker 7: game pign that's suit of suitable for that once to

934
00:50:01,267 --> 00:50:04,387
Speaker 7: rugby a you know, whether it's our cps, there needs

935
00:50:04,427 --> 00:50:09,787
Speaker 7: to be shong or carrying clean game. Yeah, all those

936
00:50:09,827 --> 00:50:10,347
Speaker 7: sort of things.

937
00:50:11,027 --> 00:50:13,027
Speaker 3: Are there any of the rule tweaks that that you've

938
00:50:13,107 --> 00:50:15,427
Speaker 3: paid particular attention to as your as your prep for

939
00:50:15,507 --> 00:50:18,507
Speaker 3: the season, anything in particular with the little changes they've

940
00:50:18,547 --> 00:50:21,347
Speaker 3: made that you have been super aware of.

941
00:50:23,627 --> 00:50:28,307
Speaker 7: Yes, probably the free kicks. They've obviously trying to speed

942
00:50:28,387 --> 00:50:31,307
Speaker 7: up the game, which is awesome, which is awesome for

943
00:50:31,907 --> 00:50:36,067
Speaker 7: us and the fans, But that's probably the main one.

944
00:50:36,307 --> 00:50:38,347
Speaker 7: And then obviously they're fifty twenty two. You can take

945
00:50:38,387 --> 00:50:42,627
Speaker 7: the ball back back over the halfway to get their

946
00:50:42,627 --> 00:50:46,267
Speaker 7: fifty twenty two. Those are the sort of two rules

947
00:50:46,307 --> 00:50:49,907
Speaker 7: that aren't really aware of at the moment. But yeah,

948
00:50:50,147 --> 00:50:50,907
Speaker 7: not much after that.

949
00:50:51,987 --> 00:50:55,027
Speaker 3: And performances like yours last night always stand out. They

950
00:50:55,107 --> 00:50:57,507
Speaker 3: get you noticed. Do you think about all Black selection

951
00:50:58,147 --> 00:50:59,267
Speaker 3: in February or not.

952
00:51:02,427 --> 00:51:04,467
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a funny one day because there's obviously a

953
00:51:04,547 --> 00:51:10,947
Speaker 7: new head coach, and yeah, it's it's something that's definitly

954
00:51:10,947 --> 00:51:13,147
Speaker 7: at the back of my head. But I know that

955
00:51:13,267 --> 00:51:19,027
Speaker 7: if I continue to put my best forward and then

956
00:51:19,067 --> 00:51:22,787
Speaker 7: that stuff will take care of itself. So yeah, I'm

957
00:51:22,867 --> 00:51:26,027
Speaker 7: just more worried about trying to perform the best to

958
00:51:26,147 --> 00:51:29,267
Speaker 7: my ability for us as as a franchise, and then

959
00:51:30,147 --> 00:51:32,747
Speaker 7: hopefully won a championship and then hopefully that take cares of.

960
00:51:32,827 --> 00:51:36,187
Speaker 3: To Indeed, good traveling support last night. It's just a

961
00:51:36,187 --> 00:51:37,867

962
00:51:37,947 --> 00:51:39,587

00:52:15,187 --> 00:52:18,027
Speaker 3: Chiefs And of course the all blacks Berg performance from

977
00:52:18,147 --> 00:52:20,347
Speaker 3: him last night involved in a lot of the game's

978
00:52:20,387 --> 00:52:22,907
Speaker 3: big moments. A tri scorer then that line out still

979
00:52:22,947 --> 00:52:26,107
Speaker 3: near the end, which secured the Chiefs the win by

980
00:52:26,227 --> 00:52:29,867
Speaker 3: nineteen points to fifteen. Round one of Super Rugby in

981
00:52:29,987 --> 00:52:32,627
Speaker 3: the books eight hundred and eighty ten eighty anything that

982
00:52:32,707 --> 00:52:34,867
Speaker 3: stood out, Happy to chat to fans of any of

983
00:52:34,947 --> 00:52:38,627
Speaker 3: the teams that played across the weekend. Hurricanes fans, of course,

984
00:52:38,667 --> 00:52:41,667
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to wait until next weekend for their

985
00:52:41,947 --> 00:52:44,467
Speaker 3: campaign to get under way. But if anything you saw

986
00:52:44,547 --> 00:52:46,427
Speaker 3: stood out, give us a yell. Let's have a yarn.

987
00:52:46,467 --> 00:52:49,747
Speaker 3: I eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. The Chiefs, I mean,

988
00:52:50,747 --> 00:52:53,587
Speaker 3: I think I said yesterday. They're the deepest squad, aren't they.

989
00:52:53,587 --> 00:52:55,667
Speaker 3: If you look across person for person, man for man,

990
00:52:56,027 --> 00:52:59,347
Speaker 3: they're the ones with the greatest depth in a variety

991
00:52:59,387 --> 00:53:01,387
Speaker 3: of positions. You look at the team they can still

992
00:53:01,467 --> 00:53:04,627
Speaker 3: put out even with a number of players not considered

993
00:53:04,667 --> 00:53:06,627
Speaker 3: for selection, a number of front line all bit of

994
00:53:06,707 --> 00:53:10,987
Speaker 3: course across the franchises that were rested for round one.

995
00:53:11,547 --> 00:53:14,667
Speaker 3: So yeah, the Chief's putting a stake in the ground early.

996
00:53:14,827 --> 00:53:16,867
Speaker 3: They've made the last three Grand finals. Of course, you

997
00:53:16,947 --> 00:53:19,267
Speaker 3: wonder at what point that starts to be a real

998
00:53:21,427 --> 00:53:24,027
Speaker 3: real monkey on their bag. How do they get it off?

999
00:53:24,067 --> 00:53:25,547
Speaker 3: How do I guess you get it off by winning one,

1000
00:53:25,587 --> 00:53:28,667
Speaker 3: don't you. But a good start by the Chiefs, The Crusaders,

1001
00:53:29,107 --> 00:53:31,947
Speaker 3: the defending champions, not able to start their campaign with

1002
00:53:32,027 --> 00:53:34,227
Speaker 3: a win. We spoke a bit about this yesterday under

1003
00:53:34,267 --> 00:53:38,147
Speaker 3: the roof in Dunedin going down to the Highlanders. Two

1004
00:53:38,347 --> 00:53:40,707
Speaker 3: very tight New Zealand derbies to start, which is, I

1005
00:53:40,747 --> 00:53:42,627
Speaker 3: guess what you're after, really you want a bit of

1006
00:53:42,707 --> 00:53:45,667
Speaker 3: a bit of jeopardy early, So Heigland is twenty five,

1007
00:53:45,987 --> 00:53:49,547
Speaker 3: Crusaders twenty three on Friday night and then last night

1008
00:53:49,667 --> 00:53:53,147
Speaker 3: nineteen fifteen Chiefs so Blues the Wa pacifica Fijian drewers'

1009
00:53:53,147 --> 00:53:55,467
Speaker 3: score was interesting to me as well. I saw a

1010
00:53:55,547 --> 00:53:58,747
Speaker 3: lot of pregame predictions, you know, giving it to the

1011
00:53:58,867 --> 00:54:00,947
Speaker 3: drawer fairly comfortably, but more one of going over there

1012
00:54:01,267 --> 00:54:04,107
Speaker 3: winning forty points to twenty six. And the two Australian games,

1013
00:54:04,867 --> 00:54:07,987
Speaker 3: which I must admit I don't take as much interest

1014
00:54:08,147 --> 00:54:11,467
Speaker 3: in as the New Zealand Derby's, but some storylines there

1015
00:54:11,507 --> 00:54:15,067
Speaker 3: Waratar's thirty six twelve over the Reds Waratars. I think

1016
00:54:15,067 --> 00:54:17,467
Speaker 3: there are high hopes for that franchise this year, and

1017
00:54:17,507 --> 00:54:19,747
Speaker 3: I know it's a pretty important market for Super Rugby

1018
00:54:20,467 --> 00:54:22,627
Speaker 3: being based in Sydney of course, so that'll please the

1019
00:54:23,627 --> 00:54:25,587
Speaker 3: powers that be at Super Rugby and also those at

1020
00:54:25,627 --> 00:54:29,707
Speaker 3: the Warratars and then last night out Western Perth the Brumbies,

1021
00:54:29,707 --> 00:54:33,227
Speaker 3: who as we know historically have been the strongest of

1022
00:54:33,227 --> 00:54:36,787
Speaker 3: the Australian sites fifty six twenty four winners over the

1023
00:54:36,827 --> 00:54:40,587
Speaker 3: Western Force. So the Brumbies are themselves putting a bit

1024
00:54:40,587 --> 00:54:42,667
Speaker 3: of a stake in the ground last night. Anything you'd

1025
00:54:42,707 --> 00:54:44,307
Speaker 3: like to yarn about it, anything that stood out for

1026

Speaker 3: you in Super Rugby's first round. Phones are open, oh

Speaker 7: Now.

1038
00:55:16,547 --> 00:55:19,867
Speaker 3: Sam Ruth and Sam Tanner are running in the Sound

00:55:24,267 --> 00:55:27,027
Speaker 3: couple of minutes away from getting under way. Cole Hocker

1043
00:55:33,507 --> 00:55:34,787
Speaker 3: on that for you. Let you know how the two

1044
00:55:34,907 --> 00:55:38,787
Speaker 3: SAMs go. Sam Ruth of course, continues this absolutely meteoric

1045
00:55:38,947 --> 00:55:41,707
Speaker 3: rise of his news during the week that he has said, yes,

1046
00:55:41,827 --> 00:55:44,427
Speaker 3: I'm very keen to go to the Commonwealth Games. Eighteen

1047
00:55:44,507 --> 00:55:47,747
Speaker 3: spots available Athletics New Zealand have to hand out. You

1048
00:55:47,827 --> 00:55:49,787
Speaker 3: can't tell me there are eighteen others ahead of Sam

1049
00:55:49,867 --> 00:55:52,067
Speaker 3: Ruth in that queue. I think we'll see him in

1050
00:55:52,187 --> 00:55:54,387
Speaker 3: Glasgow a little bit later on e one hundred and

1051
00:55:54,387 --> 00:55:56,587
Speaker 3: eighty ten eighties our number. Let's talk some super rugby.

1052
00:55:56,627 --> 00:55:59,747
Speaker 3: Anything that you saw that you enjoyed, that you perhaps

1053
00:56:01,227 --> 00:56:05,267
Speaker 3: didn't enjoy. Phil, you want to talk about the law changes.

1054
00:56:05,267 --> 00:56:06,627
Speaker 3: I think we're the other but they just day. But

1055
00:56:06,707 --> 00:56:08,547
Speaker 3: you've got some more more thoughts on this.

1056
00:56:09,707 --> 00:56:13,027
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, get a piney. Thanks for that. How are

1057
00:56:13,067 --> 00:56:15,067
Speaker 6: you the obligatory? How are you it will be good?

1058
00:56:16,707 --> 00:56:18,187
Speaker 3: Yeah, the obligatory on good things.

1059
00:56:20,347 --> 00:56:22,547
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll just just before I do that, just a

1060
00:56:22,627 --> 00:56:26,507
Speaker 6: quick second on the GP. I'm not an expert, but

1061
00:56:26,547 --> 00:56:28,307
Speaker 6: it was great, you know, I don't know a lot

1062
00:56:28,347 --> 00:56:30,307
Speaker 6: about it. It was great listening to your felly, your

1063
00:56:30,347 --> 00:56:33,747
Speaker 6: head on, and instantly for me, I thought, that sounds

1064
00:56:33,787 --> 00:56:35,627
Speaker 6: like they're going to split it. So it's probably not

1065
00:56:35,707 --> 00:56:38,547
Speaker 6: going to be relevant now, but I instantly thought, they've

1066
00:56:38,627 --> 00:56:41,187
Speaker 6: just got to make the course bigger, you know, like

1067
00:56:41,267 --> 00:56:43,707
Speaker 6: a course like Auckland. With the speed they're going now

1068
00:56:43,787 --> 00:56:46,507
Speaker 6: on so many boats, it just seems that it's just

1069
00:56:46,587 --> 00:56:47,947
Speaker 6: got to be made a bit bigger, you know, to

1070
00:56:48,027 --> 00:56:50,027
Speaker 6: get more room. And I don't think that would effect

1071
00:56:50,027 --> 00:56:52,707
Speaker 6: they will make the say in any less exciting.

1072
00:56:53,227 --> 00:56:55,987
Speaker 3: So I guess they Yeah, I guess they're limited many

1073
00:56:56,067 --> 00:56:58,427
Speaker 3: in many ways geographically, aren't they feel, you know. And

1074
00:56:58,507 --> 00:57:01,227
Speaker 3: the attraction of it is that sort of in a

1075
00:57:01,347 --> 00:57:05,587
Speaker 3: harbor grandstand race course that gets you gets fans nice

1076
00:57:05,627 --> 00:57:07,947
Speaker 3: and close. But yeah, like you say, I mean listening

1077
00:57:08,027 --> 00:57:11,147
Speaker 3: to to Russell Coots last hour, he said, you know,

1078
00:57:11,227 --> 00:57:12,987
Speaker 3: when we go to fourteen, we're going to split. We're

1079
00:57:12,987 --> 00:57:15,307
Speaker 3: going to split seven and seven. So it looks as

1080
00:57:15,307 --> 00:57:18,027
Speaker 3: though that will will happen from next year. I guess

1081
00:57:18,027 --> 00:57:20,067
Speaker 3: they've got some decisions to make for the remainder of

1082
00:57:20,107 --> 00:57:22,947
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six with the thirteen boats and what they

1083
00:57:23,067 --> 00:57:27,067
Speaker 3: do and whether what they learn from Auckland goes into

1084
00:57:27,107 --> 00:57:29,627
Speaker 3: that decision making or how much it does remains to

1085
00:57:29,667 --> 00:57:32,347
Speaker 3: be seen. But yeah, there's there's some there's some interesting

1086
00:57:32,747 --> 00:57:34,027
Speaker 3: little storylines coming up.

1087
00:57:34,067 --> 00:57:36,147
Speaker 18: For sure, there is there is.

1088
00:57:36,187 --> 00:57:38,267
Speaker 6: And I thought your first call was excellent. Who had

1089
00:57:38,347 --> 00:57:41,067
Speaker 6: talked about that? And yeah, maybe they can't make a

1090
00:57:41,147 --> 00:57:43,507
Speaker 6: course bigger like Auckland, So yeah, they have to do

1091
00:57:43,627 --> 00:57:46,387
Speaker 6: the split is the only other option. But yeah, okay,

1092
00:57:46,587 --> 00:57:50,427
Speaker 6: so I'll get on to the Ruggers. Yeah, watch both games.

1093
00:57:50,507 --> 00:57:53,147
Speaker 6: Watch the Bruise and Chiefs last night.

1094
00:57:54,107 --> 00:57:54,307
Speaker 2: Two.

1095
00:57:54,387 --> 00:57:57,147
Speaker 6: Boy, what a game he had that steal, you know,

1096
00:57:57,707 --> 00:57:59,787
Speaker 6: like you said, crucial when they were down on attack

1097
00:57:59,827 --> 00:58:02,187
Speaker 6: and could have still pinch the game from them and

1098
00:58:02,347 --> 00:58:05,947
Speaker 6: to get that line out steal and Cement cemented the game,

1099
00:58:06,387 --> 00:58:08,427
Speaker 6: it was fantastic and in his diving try but he

1100
00:58:08,547 --> 00:58:11,507
Speaker 6: just played outstanding. But I think, like yesterday I said,

1101
00:58:12,427 --> 00:58:14,547
Speaker 6: the two things that have stood out for me straight

1102
00:58:14,627 --> 00:58:18,107
Speaker 6: away from watching those two games, almost instantly is the

1103
00:58:18,267 --> 00:58:20,547
Speaker 6: benefit of the rule change with the tap and go

1104
00:58:20,987 --> 00:58:24,347
Speaker 6: and the twenty fifty or fifty twenty one where you've

1105
00:58:24,347 --> 00:58:28,067
Speaker 6: seen that in both games, and straight away the impact

1106
00:58:28,107 --> 00:58:30,627
Speaker 6: of speeding it up making it more exciting and faster,

1107
00:58:30,787 --> 00:58:31,827
Speaker 6: you know, was great.

1108
00:58:32,187 --> 00:58:32,307
Speaker 14: Now.

1109
00:58:32,347 --> 00:58:34,947
Speaker 6: The other thing that I was just thinking of the

1110
00:58:35,067 --> 00:58:37,547
Speaker 6: side view as a side thought when I was watching

1111
00:58:37,907 --> 00:58:40,067
Speaker 6: the game and after it was it's going to be

1112
00:58:40,187 --> 00:58:43,067
Speaker 6: interesting this year when they appoint the new he had

1113
00:58:43,187 --> 00:58:45,947
Speaker 6: coached to see who acts actually going to make the

1114
00:58:46,067 --> 00:58:49,987
Speaker 6: will Blacks, because as we know, last year was raiser.

1115
00:58:51,187 --> 00:58:52,947
Speaker 6: There was a few All Blacks that sort of fell

1116
00:58:53,027 --> 00:58:55,227
Speaker 6: out of favor for whatever reason that he wasn't so

1117
00:58:55,467 --> 00:58:58,467
Speaker 6: keen on. And there, you know, and already just over

1118
00:58:58,587 --> 00:59:00,747
Speaker 6: watching these two games, I've seen some guys there and

1119
00:59:00,787 --> 00:59:02,787
Speaker 6: I thought, well, come here at listen a few you know,

1120
00:59:02,947 --> 00:59:05,987
Speaker 6: you might have been out to consideration last Yeah, but

1121
00:59:06,467 --> 00:59:09,107
Speaker 6: whoever this head coaches might be a different story. Like

1122
00:59:09,187 --> 00:59:12,587
Speaker 6: I'm thinking of Valon Miller, steady airs and solid and young,

1123
00:59:12,747 --> 00:59:18,507
Speaker 6: good young player for Otaga the Highlanders and yeah and yeah,

1124
00:59:19,347 --> 00:59:21,147
Speaker 6: some of those chief players and that as well. And

1125
00:59:21,267 --> 00:59:24,707
Speaker 6: then there there was Dalton Popolini that was interviewed by

1126
00:59:24,867 --> 00:59:27,787
Speaker 6: sav there and he was gonna he was sort of

1127
00:59:27,867 --> 00:59:30,467
Speaker 6: he indicated that he was thinking ahead and overseas, but

1128
00:59:30,947 --> 00:59:33,387
Speaker 6: that might change now he might hang around and he

1129
00:59:33,467 --> 00:59:35,827
Speaker 6: said to see what happens with the new coach, you know,

1130
00:59:35,987 --> 00:59:37,827
Speaker 6: so I think go in and reason to see who

1131
00:59:37,907 --> 00:59:38,547
Speaker 6: the players are.

1132
00:59:38,907 --> 00:59:40,467
Speaker 3: Oh indeed, look at I mean, I think it's a

1133
00:59:40,547 --> 00:59:42,907
Speaker 3: clean slake for everybody, isn't it. Phil. No one expected

1134
00:59:42,947 --> 00:59:45,147
Speaker 3: this to happen. No one expected that halfway through the

1135
00:59:45,547 --> 00:59:47,587
Speaker 3: Rugby World Cup cycle that we'd be talking about a

1136
00:59:48,107 --> 00:59:50,267
Speaker 3: new All Blacks coach coming in and we're hearing sort

1137
00:59:50,307 --> 00:59:53,627
Speaker 3: of like, I don't know whether how firm these rumors are,

1138
00:59:53,787 --> 00:59:56,227
Speaker 3: but by the sounds of it, they'll make a decision

1139
00:59:56,347 --> 00:59:58,387
Speaker 3: and this is a good a good thing. Soon it

1140
00:59:58,467 --> 01:00:00,147
Speaker 3: might even be in the weak ahead, so he might

1141
01:00:00,227 --> 01:00:02,627
Speaker 3: know in the next week or so who has got

1142
01:00:02,667 --> 01:00:04,027
Speaker 3: the top job. But you're right, I mean, I look

1143
01:00:04,027 --> 01:00:06,187
Speaker 3: at a guy like pala Fo Katava, he'd fallen right

1144
01:00:06,347 --> 01:00:08,747
Speaker 3: out of favor, right down the pecking order as far

1145
01:00:08,867 --> 01:00:12,267
Speaker 3: as as as halfbacks are concerned. He must think to himself, now, well,

1146
01:00:12,347 --> 01:00:14,427
Speaker 3: here we are. It's yes, there's a lot of guys

1147
01:00:14,467 --> 01:00:17,027
Speaker 3: in the conversation. You look at roy Guard and Hotham

1148
01:00:17,067 --> 01:00:19,627
Speaker 3: and Latima and others, and you think, hey, there's you know,

1149
01:00:19,707 --> 01:00:21,827
Speaker 3: there's a there's a log jam there. But why can't

1150
01:00:21,867 --> 01:00:24,067
Speaker 3: I be in the conversation you mentioned Tom Papa Lee

1151
01:00:24,267 --> 01:00:26,627
Speaker 3: absolutely another one who must have his hand up. And

1152
01:00:26,627 --> 01:00:29,387
Speaker 3: then there'll be others like to Pulvai who you've identified

1153
01:00:29,427 --> 01:00:31,707
Speaker 3: from last night and yeah, I mean I think he's

1154
01:00:31,747 --> 01:00:34,467
Speaker 3: there regardless, isn't he. I think I think you'll find

1155
01:00:34,507 --> 01:00:37,027
Speaker 3: tall Vai in a black jersey again this year without

1156
01:00:37,067 --> 01:00:38,787
Speaker 3: a shadow of a doubt. Good to chat to your

1160
01:00:48,867 --> 01:00:50,467
Speaker 3: you a just to lift the curse in a little

1161
01:00:50,467 --> 01:00:53,027
Speaker 3: bit behind the scenes in the in the media center.

1162
01:00:53,107 --> 01:00:54,627
Speaker 3: What happens at the end of the day's racing is

1163
01:00:54,667 --> 01:00:58,427
Speaker 3: they have all the presentations in Australia have been presented

1164
01:00:58,467 --> 01:01:00,947
Speaker 3: with the sale GP trophy and then the media are

1165
01:01:01,027 --> 01:01:04,667
Speaker 3: invited to what is called the mixed Zone. It's it's

1166
01:01:04,667 --> 01:01:07,267
Speaker 3: a very mysterious place, the soone you never know who's

1167
01:01:07,267 --> 01:01:09,267
Speaker 3: going to turn up there on either side of the

1168
01:01:09,827 --> 01:01:12,147
Speaker 3: either side of the coin. No, it's not really anything

1169
01:01:12,267 --> 01:01:14,787
Speaker 3: like that. The skippers are all brought out and they

1170
01:01:14,907 --> 01:01:17,987
Speaker 3: chat to the media and other crew members as well.

1171
01:01:18,067 --> 01:01:20,267
Speaker 3: So that's where the media are headed to at the moment.

1172
01:01:20,307 --> 01:01:22,947
Speaker 3: There's been a mass exodus from the media center where

1173
01:01:22,987 --> 01:01:26,067
Speaker 3: I'm broadcasting from as everybody heads down to the mix zone.

1174
01:01:26,187 --> 01:01:28,867
Speaker 3: We'll bring you some of some of that content in

1175
01:01:28,947 --> 01:01:30,787
Speaker 3: the next little while and also hope to be joined

1176
01:01:30,987 --> 01:01:33,867
Speaker 3: very very soon more in the next obviously before the

1177
01:01:33,907 --> 01:01:37,827
Speaker 3: show finishes by some members of the winning Australian team

1178
01:01:38,027 --> 01:01:40,547
Speaker 3: as well, So looking forward to bringing you bring you

1179
01:01:40,627 --> 01:01:43,027
Speaker 3: a chat with one or more of them. Let's get

1180
01:01:43,067 --> 01:01:45,947
Speaker 3: you back to the Women's Amateur Asia Pacific Golf Championship

1181
01:01:46,027 --> 01:01:48,827
Speaker 3: though at Royal Wellington where we're into the final day

1182
01:01:48,947 --> 01:01:51,867
Speaker 3: and well you mentioned last hour, Steve, the weather was

1183
01:01:51,947 --> 01:01:54,187
Speaker 3: rather inclement. My wife has been on the phone to

1184
01:01:54,227 --> 01:01:57,347
Speaker 3: me and questioning my ability to fly back in tonight

1185
01:01:57,787 --> 01:02:00,267
Speaker 3: into the Capitol. I'm not sure whether you've got any

1186
01:02:00,387 --> 01:02:02,627
Speaker 3: update as far as the weather's concerned down there.

1187
01:02:03,227 --> 01:02:05,107
Speaker 11: In terms of your flight, good luck, But in terms

1188
01:02:05,147 --> 01:02:08,347
Speaker 11: of the golf, we're just kind of holding. I guess

1189
01:02:08,707 --> 01:02:10,947
Speaker 11: the breeze is firming up even more. The leaders are

1190
01:02:11,147 --> 01:02:13,747
Speaker 11: just coming through the turn. At the moment it seilands

1191
01:02:13,747 --> 01:02:15,387
Speaker 11: a bit of a two horse race with the two

1192
01:02:15,507 --> 01:02:18,547
Speaker 11: top Korean girls and so Young and her teammates Sum

1193
01:02:18,587 --> 01:02:21,427
Speaker 11: and O both at minus twelve coming down the ninth.

1194
01:02:21,707 --> 01:02:24,867
Speaker 11: The next is their teammate Huban Kime at minus seven.

1195
01:02:25,067 --> 01:02:27,147
Speaker 11: So setting to that back nine in the rain will

1196
01:02:27,187 --> 01:02:29,627
Speaker 11: get here before the end of play, but not to

1197
01:02:29,867 --> 01:02:33,547
Speaker 11: any major degree with the Kiwi's Jason Barry Jung is

1198
01:02:33,547 --> 01:02:36,227
Speaker 11: still the leading Kiwi's just bogey twelve, thirty and fourteen,

1199
01:02:36,267 --> 01:02:39,627
Speaker 11: but at plus five and into Troy. The top ranked

1200
01:02:39,667 --> 01:02:42,267
Speaker 11: kywis at plus six, and I've just watched at least

1201
01:02:42,307 --> 01:02:43,507
Speaker 11: bar a couple of bogeys.

1202
01:02:43,547 --> 01:02:44,307
Speaker 14: Everyone's doing it.

1203
01:02:44,747 --> 01:02:47,827
Speaker 11: She's at plus ten, so still fantastic in the mix

1204
01:02:47,947 --> 01:02:52,307
Speaker 11: of those much more senior Kiwi girls. So it's getting sporty.

1205
01:02:52,427 --> 01:02:55,107
Speaker 3: As they say, now brilliant, what a great phrase. Has

1206
01:02:55,187 --> 01:02:58,147
Speaker 3: the golf been good on the whole across the weekend, Steve,

1207
01:02:58,187 --> 01:02:59,627
Speaker 3: I guess you go and do any tournament like this

1208
01:03:00,027 --> 01:03:02,067
Speaker 3: hoping for a high quality and these are, you know,

1209
01:03:02,267 --> 01:03:06,507
Speaker 3: the best amateur golfers in the Asia Pacific region. You've

1210
01:03:06,507 --> 01:03:08,547
Speaker 3: been impressed by the quality of the golf overall.

1211
01:03:09,267 --> 01:03:12,307
Speaker 11: The quality has been off the door, especially that Korean team,

1212
01:03:12,307 --> 01:03:16,067
Speaker 11: but the leading Australian Japanese and tire girls. They're all

1213
01:03:16,107 --> 01:03:19,347
Speaker 11: well ranked inside the world's top fifty and they were

1214
01:03:19,667 --> 01:03:22,787
Speaker 11: between eight and thirteen under after two rounds at settled

1215
01:03:22,827 --> 01:03:25,027
Speaker 11: yesterday because it was taugh and today the pin sets

1216
01:03:25,027 --> 01:03:28,067
Speaker 11: are really hard and the weather's challenging, and they're still

1217
01:03:28,187 --> 01:03:30,787
Speaker 11: the leaders round about power or one or so under.

1218
01:03:30,907 --> 01:03:34,307
Speaker 14: So answered questions. Yeah, the level's fantastic.

1219
01:03:34,867 --> 01:03:36,747
Speaker 3: Oh great to hear, Steve. All right, mate again, we

1220
01:03:36,867 --> 01:03:40,347
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your reports. We'll check in

1221
01:03:40,547 --> 01:03:42,027
Speaker 3: with you one more time in the next hour if

1222
01:03:42,067 --> 01:03:44,827
Speaker 3: that's okay and fits your schedule. That's Steve Ware joining

1223
01:03:44,907 --> 01:03:47,827
Speaker 3: us from the Royal Wellington Golf Club where it's the

1224
01:03:48,147 --> 01:03:52,907
Speaker 3: Women's Amateur Asia Pacific Golf Championship. Anecdotally from a couple

1225
01:03:52,907 --> 01:03:54,707
Speaker 3: of people who have been watching and they've just been

1226
01:03:54,747 --> 01:03:58,947
Speaker 3: amazed at the quality of the golf that has been

1227
01:03:59,067 --> 01:04:03,587
Speaker 3: played by in many cases such young young players. Alice Barber,

1228
01:04:03,827 --> 01:04:05,787
Speaker 3: she's kind of caught the eye and the ear because

1229
01:04:05,827 --> 01:04:10,427
Speaker 3: she's so young, thirteen years of age, thirteen, goodness me.

1230
01:04:10,507 --> 01:04:12,587
Speaker 3: And she's going around a course like this with you know,

1231
01:04:12,787 --> 01:04:17,667
Speaker 3: with resilience and with real ability, and her coach is

1232
01:04:18,227 --> 01:04:20,827
Speaker 3: you know, has been been on record of saying that

1233
01:04:20,907 --> 01:04:23,307
Speaker 3: he has never seen a thirteen year old golfer play

1234
01:04:23,347 --> 01:04:24,947
Speaker 3: in the way that she does, So that's a name

1235
01:04:25,027 --> 01:04:28,187
Speaker 3: to remember. Elise Barber and many others as well catching

1236
01:04:28,267 --> 01:04:31,467
Speaker 3: the eye. But it's the Korean Chargers, Steve outlined there.

1237
01:04:32,307 --> 01:04:36,027
Speaker 3: With three of the top four on the leader board

1238
01:04:36,027 --> 01:04:40,427
Speaker 3: at the moment from Korea. Sumino is the leader currently

1239
01:04:40,547 --> 01:04:43,227
Speaker 3: at twelve under parts she threw eight holes in her

1240
01:04:43,267 --> 01:04:46,427
Speaker 3: final round. In fact, she's a co leader with yunso Yang,

1241
01:04:46,707 --> 01:04:49,027
Speaker 3: who is also twelve under through eight holes. They have

1242
01:04:49,587 --> 01:04:53,787
Speaker 3: a big gap back to the Japanese golfer Urena Hiroyoshi,

1243
01:04:53,907 --> 01:04:55,987
Speaker 3: who was in third place, but she's seven under the card,

1244
01:04:56,107 --> 01:04:59,547
Speaker 3: so a five stroke lead. As the two leaders look

1245
01:04:59,627 --> 01:05:01,707
Speaker 3: to go head their head down the back nine to

1246
01:05:02,067 --> 01:05:06,187
Speaker 3: decide our winner at Royal Wellington this afternoon on text,

1247
01:05:06,347 --> 01:05:08,387
Speaker 3: wouldn't say the Chiefs put a stake in the ground

1248
01:05:08,587 --> 01:05:14,547
Speaker 3: last night. They blues wore all over them for seventy

1249
01:05:14,587 --> 01:05:17,307
Speaker 3: four minutes of the game, says this text, until they

1250
01:05:17,307 --> 01:05:19,907
Speaker 3: had a couple of brain implosions and gave the game away.

1251
01:05:20,347 --> 01:05:22,707
Speaker 3: It was interesting, kind of I must have only had

1252
01:05:22,747 --> 01:05:25,347
Speaker 3: half an eye on the game. I've had a rewatch

1253
01:05:25,387 --> 01:05:28,747
Speaker 3: of it back in large part this morning. I thought

1254
01:05:28,747 --> 01:05:31,747
Speaker 3: the Chiefs are pretty good value for their win. I

1255
01:05:31,787 --> 01:05:34,547
Speaker 3: thought they you know, and of course you look at

1256
01:05:34,587 --> 01:05:36,067
Speaker 3: the scoreboard you say, well, they've won the game. It

1257
01:05:36,147 --> 01:05:38,507
Speaker 3: was tight, But I thought they were pretty good value.

1258
01:05:38,547 --> 01:05:40,587
Speaker 3: I thought the standout players in the game were probably

1259
01:05:41,067 --> 01:05:44,107
Speaker 3: Chiefs players. I think too port Vai, who we just

1260
01:05:44,107 --> 01:05:49,907
Speaker 3: spoke to earlier, was the standout man at the match Wellington.

1261
01:05:50,107 --> 01:05:52,587
Speaker 3: If you're listening from Wellington, I wonder whether you could

1262
01:05:52,627 --> 01:05:55,347
Speaker 3: just potentially give me a weather update. Had to be

1263
01:05:55,427 --> 01:05:58,027
Speaker 3: really handy, not just for my own benefit, but I'm

1264
01:05:58,067 --> 01:06:00,227
Speaker 3: hearing all sorts of stories about how windy it is.

1265
01:06:00,627 --> 01:06:03,147
Speaker 3: And look, there won't surprise anybody to know that it's

1266
01:06:03,187 --> 01:06:08,587
Speaker 3: windy and Wellington, but I'm talking absolutely blowing a gale

1267
01:06:08,747 --> 01:06:12,107
Speaker 3: down there, one hundred and thirty kilometer wins and such like.

1268
01:06:12,187 --> 01:06:14,987
Speaker 3: I think powers out in parts of Wellington. Is this true?

1269
01:06:15,467 --> 01:06:17,427
Speaker 3: Nine two ninety two. Give us the benefit of your

1270
01:06:18,147 --> 01:06:22,507
Speaker 3: geographical location. Another text here, I thought Ethan Blackader had

1271
01:06:22,547 --> 01:06:24,827
Speaker 3: a really good game hit the ground running should be

1272
01:06:25,107 --> 01:06:27,147
Speaker 3: definitely in the All Blacks picture. Well I think you'll

1273
01:06:27,147 --> 01:06:29,627
Speaker 3: find that he will be in terms of Super Rugby

1274
01:06:29,867 --> 01:06:33,907
Speaker 3: Round two if we look ahead to Round two next

1275
01:06:33,947 --> 01:06:36,547
Speaker 3: weekend with round one of the books already Friday Night

1276
01:06:36,667 --> 01:06:39,227
Speaker 3: Hurricanes more in a pacificer. So Hurricanes get their first

1277
01:06:39,307 --> 01:06:41,027
Speaker 3: run out having had the buy in week one. That's

1278
01:06:41,027 --> 01:06:43,587
Speaker 3: at Sky Stadium on Friday night, followed by the Warre

1279
01:06:43,707 --> 01:06:46,507
Speaker 3: Tass looking to back up their really excellent first up

1280
01:06:46,507 --> 01:06:48,267
Speaker 3: when over the Reds when they welcome the Fiji and

1281
01:06:48,347 --> 01:06:53,587
Speaker 3: Drewer to Alian Stadium on Friday night. Saturday's action Highlanders

1282
01:06:53,747 --> 01:06:56,987
Speaker 3: Chiefs Now. That becomes a really interesting proposition if it

1283
01:06:57,107 --> 01:07:00,627
Speaker 3: wasn't already an interesting proposition under the roof in Dunedin

1284
01:07:00,987 --> 01:07:04,067
Speaker 3: Saturday night, the Highlanders winners in their first game against

1285
01:07:04,067 --> 01:07:06,307
Speaker 3: the Crusaders, up against the Chiefs who got home there

Speaker 12: Josey?

1296
01:07:42,147 --> 01:07:44,027
Speaker 19: You need a hard enough. You've looked here long enough

1297
01:07:44,307 --> 01:07:46,027
Speaker 19: on look.

1298
01:07:46,187 --> 01:07:50,067

1300
01:07:53,507 --> 01:07:56,147
Speaker 3: I'm just curious more than anything how bad it is.

1301
01:07:57,347 --> 01:08:01,187
Speaker 19: Yeah, well they give wounded orphan too, you know, come on,

1302
01:08:03,187 --> 01:08:10,427

1303
01:08:10,547 --> 01:08:12,227
Speaker 19: weird to think you just come back from the coast

1304
01:08:12,267 --> 01:08:14,387
Speaker 19: because we're out there looting to see how much brown

1305
01:08:14,427 --> 01:08:16,507
Speaker 19: stuff which was washing up and didn't appear to be

1306
01:08:16,547 --> 01:08:20,307
Speaker 19: a lot. The ways are pretty vague, but it's not

1307
01:08:20,867 --> 01:08:24,387
Speaker 19: it's not a rendus. I think you'll get down with

1308
01:08:24,467 --> 01:08:25,147
Speaker 19: a wig in a prayer.

1309
01:08:26,467 --> 01:08:30,187
Speaker 3: That's good, Peter, that's good. Is it going to be

1310
01:08:30,267 --> 01:08:31,947
Speaker 3: one of those where there's gonna be one of those

1311
01:08:31,947 --> 01:08:33,587
Speaker 3: wherehere everybody claps when you land.

1312
01:08:34,627 --> 01:08:38,027
Speaker 19: Yeah, Oh, it's just the outside of her do that.

1357
01:10:51,427 --> 01:10:54,267
Speaker 16: Yeah, bit buster you here today? Sol gp Is who

1358
01:10:54,267 --> 01:10:55,027
Speaker 16: are right down there?

1359
01:10:55,387 --> 01:10:56,987
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's actually good. Yeah. I think they made the

1360
01:10:57,067 --> 01:10:59,827
Speaker 3: right decision to start early, although I guess we'll find

1361
01:10:59,827 --> 01:11:01,827
Speaker 3: out the full extent of that at around about four

1362
01:11:01,867 --> 01:11:05,027
Speaker 3: o'clock when racing was supposed to be on today. But

1363
01:11:05,107 --> 01:11:08,867
Speaker 3: another it's a looking out on from a broadcast position.

1364
01:11:09,467 --> 01:11:11,187
Speaker 3: It's a nice day, a nice.

1365
01:11:11,027 --> 01:11:15,787
Speaker 16: Day, but it's a great day because obviously the Chiefs won,

1366
01:11:15,987 --> 01:11:19,907
Speaker 16: so you know, this is a way to basically make

1367
01:11:19,947 --> 01:11:23,747
Speaker 16: a statement game one of the season. I saw the

1368
01:11:23,867 --> 01:11:27,867
Speaker 16: Mayor of Uklam, Wayne Brown, offering to dispose of Chiefs

1369
01:11:28,227 --> 01:11:32,507
Speaker 16: merch or jerseys and letting inviting fans to buy some

1370
01:11:32,667 --> 01:11:36,787
Speaker 16: blues memorably well as they say, we're out in west Aukland, unluggy.

1371
01:11:36,907 --> 01:11:39,107
Speaker 16: Use it didn't happen that way.

1372
01:11:39,867 --> 01:11:42,027
Speaker 3: Now, haven't I seen this one before?

1373
01:11:42,107 --> 01:11:42,267
Speaker 11: Though?

1374
01:11:42,307 --> 01:11:45,547
Speaker 3: When the Chiefs look really really good, really really good,

1375
01:11:45,987 --> 01:11:48,347
Speaker 3: and then you get to a Grand Final and then

1376
01:11:48,787 --> 01:11:50,667
Speaker 3: they don't they don't win the Grand Final.

1377
01:11:51,987 --> 01:11:54,387
Speaker 16: Yeah, I know we've Yeah, we've got a lot of

1378
01:11:54,467 --> 01:11:57,507
Speaker 16: issues there and they're quite triggering for me. But all

1379
01:11:57,547 --> 01:12:01,187
Speaker 16: I can think about is last night right now, and really,

1380
01:12:01,427 --> 01:12:04,907
Speaker 16: squad depth or bench impact, whatever you want to call it,

1381
01:12:06,467 --> 01:12:09,107
Speaker 16: just paid off for the Chiefs, big Tiro because they

1382
01:12:09,427 --> 01:12:11,707
Speaker 16: were they hung around in that game and all of

1383
01:12:11,747 --> 01:12:13,907
Speaker 16: a sudden summer Peny fee Now made a break, a

1384
01:12:13,987 --> 01:12:17,067
Speaker 16: nice little offload and what's his Lama runs that support

1385
01:12:17,107 --> 01:12:18,907
Speaker 16: line as well as any half back in the world,

1386
01:12:19,427 --> 01:12:24,547
Speaker 16: and that decided to gain. So, you know, I thought

1387
01:12:24,547 --> 01:12:28,147
Speaker 16: the Blues were going to win it, but the Chiefs

1388
01:12:28,267 --> 01:12:30,867
Speaker 16: just were tenacious and it shows. I think John O.

1389
01:12:30,947 --> 01:12:35,547
Speaker 16: Gibbs for his first game as coach is that you're

1390
01:12:36,067 --> 01:12:39,027
Speaker 16: as the coach in those Dearby games, you're writing a

1391
01:12:39,227 --> 01:12:40,707
Speaker 16: really wild bronco, aren't you?

1392
01:12:42,347 --> 01:12:45,707
Speaker 3: Absolutely without question? And look he's I mean, John Gibbs

1393
01:12:45,747 --> 01:12:47,427
Speaker 3: has been around the Chiefs for a while and look,

1394
01:12:47,467 --> 01:12:50,187
Speaker 3: I thought they were really good last night. You know,

1395
01:12:50,187 --> 01:12:52,667
Speaker 3: I thought they were well worth the win. I'll be

1396
01:12:52,747 --> 01:12:55,067
Speaker 3: understod on your view on Josh Jacob. Every time I

1397
01:12:55,147 --> 01:12:56,947
Speaker 3: watch him play, I think, man, he's a player, you know,

1398
01:12:56,987 --> 01:12:59,147
Speaker 3: I know he's going to the Highlanders next year, but

1399
01:12:59,347 --> 01:13:02,667
Speaker 3: what do they do with him and with Damien McKenzie

1400
01:13:02,747 --> 01:13:05,027
Speaker 3: when he comes back. He missed this one due to

1401
01:13:05,067 --> 01:13:07,907
Speaker 3: the arrival of his first child, and congratulations to them there,

1402
01:13:07,947 --> 01:13:11,027
Speaker 3: But what do they do with Jacob and McKenzie when

1403
01:13:11,067 --> 01:13:12,267
Speaker 3: they're both available.

1404
01:13:13,387 --> 01:13:16,667
Speaker 16: I know it's a tricky one. Mcd mack wants to

1405
01:13:16,747 --> 01:13:20,227
Speaker 16: play ten. He will probably move to the backfield. All

1406
01:13:20,227 --> 01:13:23,547
Speaker 16: though first fives do play in the backfield because there's

1407
01:13:23,547 --> 01:13:25,987
Speaker 16: so much kicking now. I think there were eighty three

1408
01:13:26,107 --> 01:13:31,747
Speaker 16: techs and the opening game Highlandan's versus through Sadan, So look,

1409
01:13:33,667 --> 01:13:37,307
Speaker 16: there are options for the Chiefs in the backfield when

1410
01:13:37,427 --> 01:13:40,267
Speaker 16: the net comes back. But I think the Jacob even

1411
01:13:40,307 --> 01:13:43,067
Speaker 16: going down to the island as you see that and Miller,

1412
01:13:43,827 --> 01:13:47,067
Speaker 16: we'll clutch Cam Miller. He's going well, you know, so

1413
01:13:48,467 --> 01:13:50,507
Speaker 16: every first five really just wants to get time in

1414
01:13:50,547 --> 01:13:52,547
Speaker 16: the saddle because you are the quarterback of your team

1415
01:13:53,147 --> 01:13:55,467
Speaker 16: and the only way you get better is with that experience.

1416
01:13:55,587 --> 01:13:58,507
Speaker 16: So I hope he gets it somewhere. Josh chick him

1417
01:13:58,507 --> 01:14:00,667
Speaker 16: because I agree with you. I think you can do

1418
01:14:00,787 --> 01:14:01,307
Speaker 16: great things.

1419
01:14:02,267 --> 01:14:04,107
Speaker 3: My heart, Ricas don't have a game over the weekend.

1420
01:14:04,147 --> 01:14:07,747
Speaker 3: They'll play Mowana Pacifica on Friday night and Wellington. I

1421
01:14:07,787 --> 01:14:11,427
Speaker 3: think Maana Pacifica probably surprised the majority of people going

1422
01:14:11,507 --> 01:14:14,187
Speaker 3: to allow Tooker and beating the Fiji and Drawer then

1423
01:14:14,227 --> 01:14:15,587
Speaker 3: normally pretty good at him.

1424
01:14:15,627 --> 01:14:19,467
Speaker 16: The Drawer Yeah, I know the miracle Fai Lungey as well.

1425
01:14:19,627 --> 01:14:21,507
Speaker 16: I mean we shouldn't be surprised by him. He is

1426
01:14:21,667 --> 01:14:25,507
Speaker 16: so good and clearly world class and I'm actually glad

1427
01:14:25,547 --> 01:14:28,627
Speaker 16: he ends up playing for some more because I think

1428
01:14:28,747 --> 01:14:30,987
Speaker 16: Raisin was talking to New Zealand Rugby would kind of

1429
01:14:31,467 --> 01:14:34,187
Speaker 16: see if he might make himself eligible because the standown

1430
01:14:34,387 --> 01:14:36,987
Speaker 16: is only three years and you can do it between

1431
01:14:37,427 --> 01:14:42,627
Speaker 16: World Cups like curR and holmifil hours doing playing for

1432
01:14:42,787 --> 01:14:44,547
Speaker 16: the tom and the last World Cup and trying to

1433
01:14:44,587 --> 01:14:50,707
Speaker 16: make the old makes for the next one. But he's

1434
01:14:51,027 --> 01:14:54,747
Speaker 16: definitely a mon who's more player for the for the future,

1435
01:14:54,947 --> 01:14:58,227
Speaker 16: and they're going to have arguably the best blindsile planninger

1436
01:14:58,347 --> 01:15:00,667
Speaker 16: in the world playing for them, maybe the best rugby

1437
01:15:00,707 --> 01:15:02,627
Speaker 16: player in the world. Who the skies a little bit

1438
01:15:02,707 --> 01:15:03,107
Speaker 16: with that guy.

1439
01:15:03,507 --> 01:15:05,587
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really like the look of him, I really do.

1440
01:15:06,387 --> 01:15:09,227
Speaker 3: It is around Winter Olympics We're through the first week

1441
01:15:09,267 --> 01:15:12,067
Speaker 3: with another week to go. Alice Robinson and the giant

1442
01:15:12,227 --> 01:15:16,867
Speaker 3: slalom Tonight, Overnight and some more metal chances with the

1443
01:15:17,027 --> 01:15:20,867
Speaker 3: likes of Luca Harrington and Zoe Sadowski sint in their

1444
01:15:21,587 --> 01:15:25,627
Speaker 3: second events of the Games. You enjoyed watching the Winter Olympics.

1445
01:15:26,387 --> 01:15:29,587
Speaker 16: I'm loving the Winter Olympics. So many channels in sky

1446
01:15:29,787 --> 01:15:31,787
Speaker 16: it's hard to know what to watch. And even though

1447
01:15:31,787 --> 01:15:34,387
Speaker 16: I'm not really a curling fan, I did see there

1448
01:15:34,427 --> 01:15:38,147
Speaker 16: was a massive drama Sweden versus Canada, piny and there

1449
01:15:38,187 --> 01:15:41,307
Speaker 16: were allegations of someone touching the stone when it crosses

1450
01:15:41,547 --> 01:15:44,227
Speaker 16: the line at the just as you let go, and

1451
01:15:45,027 --> 01:15:47,427
Speaker 16: it caused a lot of spearing on the curling rink.

1452
01:15:47,667 --> 01:15:51,387
Speaker 16: You know, it was unbecoming language really from a poe

1453
01:15:51,467 --> 01:15:53,587
Speaker 16: well I thought was a polite nation, Canada, but they

1454
01:15:53,627 --> 01:15:55,947
Speaker 16: are obviously a bit stress of trumps that are trying

1455
01:15:55,947 --> 01:15:57,427
Speaker 16: to move in on them and all that sort of thing.

1456
01:15:57,507 --> 01:16:00,547
Speaker 16: So seeing that the swearing at each other all, the

1457
01:16:00,627 --> 01:16:03,067
Speaker 16: Swede was actually a bit bit more calm, you know,

1458
01:16:03,507 --> 01:16:09,747
Speaker 16: he was calm, but the Canadian expletive laden tirade. To me,

1459
01:16:09,867 --> 01:16:12,147
Speaker 16: that makes curling actually quite interesting. So I love.

1460
01:16:12,307 --> 01:16:14,587
Speaker 3: I love the curling. Yeah, I love the curling. I

1461
01:16:14,707 --> 01:16:16,427
Speaker 3: must say, you don't get to watch it very often.

1462
01:16:16,427 --> 01:16:18,107
Speaker 3: I don't know if you wanted to, you could, you

1463
01:16:18,187 --> 01:16:20,067
Speaker 3: could watch it online. But when it's you know, when

1464
01:16:20,107 --> 01:16:23,507
Speaker 3: the broadcast coverage, you know of these Winter Games, and

1465
01:16:23,987 --> 01:16:27,187
Speaker 3: just you know the terminology, because the thing they're aiming

1466
01:16:27,267 --> 01:16:30,107
Speaker 3: for is called the house, isn't it. That's what they're

1467
01:16:30,147 --> 01:16:32,347
Speaker 3: trying to get the things into the big target. And

1468
01:16:32,467 --> 01:16:34,267
Speaker 3: I find myself sitting on the couch going no, no,

1469
01:16:35,187 --> 01:16:38,867
Speaker 3: the house is exposed. You've left the house exposed. I've

1470
01:16:38,907 --> 01:16:41,187
Speaker 3: become a I've become a curling expert.

1471
01:16:42,027 --> 01:16:44,467
Speaker 16: Well, if that happens in my neighborhood, the neighbors generally

1472
01:16:44,547 --> 01:16:48,387
Speaker 16: complain and asked me to pull the curtains. But the

1473
01:16:49,107 --> 01:16:52,307
Speaker 16: one the other sport, I guess that all the extreme sports,

1474
01:16:52,707 --> 01:16:54,707
Speaker 16: they're such a great addition. I mean, I did see

1475
01:16:54,707 --> 01:16:59,307
Speaker 16: a Kazakhstani biggest skate of wind golden bring uh, you know,

1476
01:16:59,547 --> 01:17:03,947
Speaker 16: glory to the notion of Kazakhstan. But what I did

1477
01:17:04,107 --> 01:17:08,467
Speaker 16: notice is that all those extreme sport athletes being happy

1478
01:17:08,547 --> 01:17:12,267
Speaker 16: for their opponents is it's kind of like it's something special.

1479
01:17:12,387 --> 01:17:15,507
Speaker 16: Even you saw Zoe Sadowski Senate winning silver the other

1480
01:17:15,627 --> 01:17:20,747
Speaker 16: day and saying to the Japanese who won gold, going

1481
01:17:20,827 --> 01:17:22,547
Speaker 16: up to here and going It'subar number one, you know,

1482
01:17:22,747 --> 01:17:26,267
Speaker 16: And I thought that's so cool. You know that there's

1483
01:17:26,307 --> 01:17:29,027
Speaker 16: something about that sport and the camaraderie whatever you want

1484
01:17:29,067 --> 01:17:32,347
Speaker 16: to say that because are tough as anything and they

1485
01:17:32,427 --> 01:17:34,147
Speaker 16: compete hard and you can tell it means a lot,

1486
01:17:34,187 --> 01:17:36,547
Speaker 16: but they still can be happy for their mate.

1487
01:17:36,827 --> 01:17:38,707
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really endearing, isn't it. I love it.

1488
01:17:38,867 --> 01:17:39,267
Speaker 18: I love it.

1489
01:17:39,467 --> 01:17:40,867
Speaker 3: Hey, they all watch you are going to play England

1490
01:17:40,987 --> 01:17:42,507
Speaker 3: and the lead up to the Football World Cup. This

1491
01:17:42,707 --> 01:17:45,427
Speaker 3: is a great pre World Cup fixture for us.

1492
01:17:45,467 --> 01:17:45,707
Speaker 4: Isn't it.

1493
01:17:46,547 --> 01:17:50,667
Speaker 16: Honestly this is It felt quite emotional hearing that news

1494
01:17:50,747 --> 01:17:53,067
Speaker 16: because it's something that I wanted so much as a kid,

1495
01:17:53,147 --> 01:17:55,427
Speaker 16: and I think it happened when I was a kid.

1496
01:17:55,587 --> 01:17:59,067
Speaker 16: They can at Mount Smart Stadium and a lot of

1497
01:17:59,107 --> 01:18:02,227
Speaker 16: people took to social media saying I remember when and

1498
01:18:02,827 --> 01:18:06,027
Speaker 16: I'm trying to think who was in that that England team.

1499
01:18:06,227 --> 01:18:09,747
Speaker 14: We have Barnes and links here. I'm trying to rack

1500
01:18:09,827 --> 01:18:10,227
Speaker 14: my brain.

1501
01:18:10,307 --> 01:18:12,547
Speaker 3: But it was early it was early nineties, so yeah,

1502
01:18:12,547 --> 01:18:14,067
Speaker 3: that was around about the time of those but I'm

1503
01:18:14,067 --> 01:18:15,707
Speaker 3: not sure the John Barnes came. I'm pretty sure Gary

1504
01:18:15,747 --> 01:18:16,307
Speaker 3: Lineker came.

1505
01:18:17,707 --> 01:18:22,867
Speaker 16: Yeah, so so we just had all those stars came

1506
01:18:22,907 --> 01:18:25,467
Speaker 16: to New Zealand. And because I remember before that, I

1507
01:18:25,547 --> 01:18:28,107
Speaker 16: think we played England Hay earlier when I was really

1508
01:18:28,187 --> 01:18:29,387
Speaker 16: you and for.

1509
01:18:29,467 --> 01:18:30,307
Speaker 14: Me that wasn't enough.

1510
01:18:30,427 --> 01:18:32,667
Speaker 16: We have to play proper full England and now that's

1511
01:18:32,667 --> 01:18:36,147
Speaker 16: what we're getting. So yes, please Bullingham, Cole Palmer throw

1512
01:18:36,187 --> 01:18:37,827
Speaker 16: what you've got at us. I'm happy for it for

1513
01:18:37,907 --> 01:18:40,987
Speaker 16: you all to play for Kay and Sucker. You put

1514
01:18:41,027 --> 01:18:42,867
Speaker 16: the best team out there because this is cool for

1515
01:18:43,027 --> 01:18:46,107
Speaker 16: New Zealand. And I saw some good news about Chris

1516
01:18:46,187 --> 01:18:49,267
Speaker 16: Wood recovering from an injury and to be honest, don't

1517
01:18:49,267 --> 01:18:51,227
Speaker 16: worry about Nottingham Forest, mate.

1518
01:18:52,187 --> 01:18:55,107
Speaker 14: They'll still love you. We just need you Chris or

1519
01:18:55,387 --> 01:18:56,547
Speaker 14: the World Cup on.

1520
01:18:56,827 --> 01:18:58,627
Speaker 3: That's that's bang on and I think it's it's normally

1521
01:18:58,667 --> 01:19:00,387
Speaker 3: the other way around, isn't it. You know, you get

1522
01:19:00,427 --> 01:19:03,547
Speaker 3: a lot of English football fans who don't really care

1523
01:19:03,627 --> 01:19:05,867
Speaker 3: a lot about the national team as long as their

1524
01:19:05,867 --> 01:19:07,947
Speaker 3: club side doing the right It's almost you're right, it's

1525
01:19:07,987 --> 01:19:10,227
Speaker 3: the opposite for us. If Chris Wood doesn't play for

1526
01:19:10,307 --> 01:19:13,267
Speaker 3: Nottingham Forest again this season, but is fully fit for

1527
01:19:13,347 --> 01:19:15,547
Speaker 3: the World Cup, then that's the best possible out come

1528
01:19:15,587 --> 01:19:18,587
Speaker 3: as far as we're concerned. Look, it's I mean, he's

1529
01:19:18,667 --> 01:19:20,627
Speaker 3: probably not going to go to another one, is he.

1530
01:19:20,947 --> 01:19:23,547
Speaker 3: I just feel like he needs to get into cahoots

1531
01:19:23,587 --> 01:19:25,667
Speaker 3: with the Nottingham Forest medical team and say, look, just

1532
01:19:25,707 --> 01:19:26,667
Speaker 3: get me right for Joune.

1533
01:19:27,627 --> 01:19:32,027
Speaker 16: Yeah, and there's some there's some I guess oil out

1534
01:19:32,067 --> 01:19:34,707
Speaker 16: there where people are saying there's going to be five

1535
01:19:35,867 --> 01:19:38,107
Speaker 16: Kiwis in the Premier League next year. So we've got

1536
01:19:38,187 --> 01:19:40,627
Speaker 16: this emerging talent. But Chris is near the end of

1537
01:19:40,707 --> 01:19:43,507
Speaker 16: his career. So this World Cup pretty much is a

1538
01:19:43,547 --> 01:19:47,267
Speaker 16: good time for it to happen. Because the Golden Generation

1539
01:19:47,467 --> 01:19:50,507
Speaker 16: coming through from their under twenty teams of Team of

1540
01:19:50,547 --> 01:19:54,227
Speaker 16: a few years ago. We're talking Eliza just and Libby

1541
01:19:54,267 --> 01:19:59,547
Speaker 16: Cacaci and all those guys garb It. They're getting reaching

1542
01:19:59,627 --> 01:20:02,227
Speaker 16: the peak of their powers. But Chris, I don't think

1543
01:20:02,267 --> 01:20:05,667
Speaker 16: in other cycles going to happen. So and obviously can

1544
01:20:05,707 --> 01:20:08,867
Speaker 16: Throwy Alex into that group as well, because I think

1545
01:20:08,947 --> 01:20:11,027
Speaker 16: he will be our keeper by the time the World

1546
01:20:11,067 --> 01:20:14,227
Speaker 16: Cup rolls around. This is this is the time for us,

1547
01:20:14,667 --> 01:20:16,027
Speaker 16: and I think it's not a bad group.

1548
01:20:16,307 --> 01:20:17,587
Speaker 14: I'm going to Vancouver, poney.

1549
01:20:17,667 --> 01:20:19,987
Speaker 16: We will be top topping and tailing up there for

1550
01:20:20,107 --> 01:20:22,787
Speaker 16: the Egypt in Belgium game.

1551
01:20:22,827 --> 01:20:24,787
Speaker 3: So I look look forward to that, not as much

1552
01:20:24,827 --> 01:20:26,987
Speaker 3: as I do, not as much as I will. Just

1553
01:20:27,067 --> 01:20:29,867
Speaker 3: before you go, we've had we talked to you on

1554
01:20:29,907 --> 01:20:32,987
Speaker 3: a Sunday, so we sort of previewed Super Bowl last week.

1555
01:20:33,187 --> 01:20:36,027
Speaker 3: Any sort of residual thoughts six days on.

1556
01:20:37,227 --> 01:20:40,267
Speaker 16: Yeah, Johnny Pine, he was bang on, I think with

1557
01:20:40,387 --> 01:20:44,507
Speaker 16: his analysis. So points to your son coming in clutch

1558
01:20:44,587 --> 01:20:48,027
Speaker 16: there like cam Miller and I mean, look, Seattle always

1559
01:20:48,107 --> 01:20:50,347
Speaker 16: going to win that game. It just it was just

1560
01:20:50,627 --> 01:20:53,427
Speaker 16: they needed a story of something to make it interesting.

1561
01:20:53,827 --> 01:20:57,067
Speaker 16: And of course in the end most of the story

1562
01:20:57,107 --> 01:20:59,107
Speaker 16: of most of the hype was about Bad Bunny, the

1563
01:20:59,187 --> 01:21:03,427
Speaker 16: Puerto Rican halftime show and all in Spanish, featuring a

1564
01:21:03,467 --> 01:21:06,787
Speaker 16: little bit of Ricky Martin I and maybe of English

1565
01:21:06,827 --> 01:21:09,187
Speaker 16: from Lady Gargavit one of your big songs. You know,

1566
01:21:09,347 --> 01:21:13,227
Speaker 16: this was a tribute to Latin America and of course

1567
01:21:13,387 --> 01:21:17,547
Speaker 16: in part of America, big parts of America up and arms.

1568
01:21:17,587 --> 01:21:18,587
Speaker 14: But hold on a second.

1569
01:21:18,907 --> 01:21:21,547
Speaker 16: They don't like Spanish songs. What about lad Umber I

1570
01:21:21,587 --> 01:21:24,307
Speaker 16: think that made it to number one and Macarina. You're

1571
01:21:24,347 --> 01:21:27,427
Speaker 16: telling me you don't know the actions to the Macarena.

1572
01:21:28,027 --> 01:21:31,667

01:28:10,827 --> 01:28:13,307

Speaker 3: Scotland a top with a win and a loss, but

1700
01:28:25,307 --> 01:28:28,107
Speaker 3: a bonus point that top of the six nations. But

1701
01:28:28,307 --> 01:28:30,027
Speaker 3: France can go back to the top of that table

1702
01:28:30,267 --> 01:28:32,947
Speaker 3: with victory over Wales tomorrow and you'd have to think

1703
01:28:33,027 --> 01:28:36,827

Speaker 3: Dylan Fletcher with some of his post final thoughts.

1710
01:28:58,627 --> 01:28:59,347
Speaker 18: Yeah, I guess they.

1711
01:29:03,947 --> 01:29:07,627
Speaker 20: Speedy recovery, but I was going to a difficult to start,

1712
01:29:07,667 --> 01:29:11,907
Speaker 20: where as yesterday we bounce back in fantastic air racing

1713
01:29:11,947 --> 01:29:14,467
Speaker 20: clovers just producing some good.

1714
01:29:14,307 --> 01:29:15,107
Speaker 12: Breeze, very racing.

1715
01:29:15,547 --> 01:29:17,867
Speaker 22: What was the life out there and just having these

1716
01:29:18,067 --> 01:29:20,547
Speaker 22: boats out there and you know, just pretty high speed

1717
01:29:20,627 --> 01:29:21,707
Speaker 22: for above one hundred gays out.

1718
01:29:22,667 --> 01:29:24,947
Speaker 20: Yeah, it felt like the right carules given the conditions

1719
01:29:25,227 --> 01:29:27,987
Speaker 20: as windy thing that at fifties have ever raced. We

1720
01:29:28,067 --> 01:29:30,187
Speaker 20: saw sixty t an hour in that last one, so

1721
01:29:30,267 --> 01:29:33,507
Speaker 20: that was pretty loose on the top. Rangers disappointed not

1722
01:29:33,707 --> 01:29:35,987
Speaker 20: to win, but in the overall scheme, it was a

1723
01:29:36,067 --> 01:29:37,147
Speaker 20: solid weekend of the team.

1724
01:29:37,587 --> 01:29:39,987
Speaker 23: Dylan, how was everyone's feeling about going out for sales?

1725
01:29:40,987 --> 01:29:42,907
Speaker 20: I think we're all just pumped, to be honest. It

1726
01:29:43,067 --> 01:29:46,307
Speaker 20: was really unfortunate at the racing incident yesterday, but ultimately

1727
01:29:46,467 --> 01:29:48,907
Speaker 20: was a racing incident, and you know, we always try

1728
01:29:48,947 --> 01:29:51,387
Speaker 20: and look after each other, look after obviously they're the

1729
01:29:51,387 --> 01:29:53,107
Speaker 20: boats on the race course, and yeah, we.

1730
01:29:53,147 --> 01:29:55,587
Speaker 8: Were pumped for it, to be honest, Dylan, what the

1731
01:29:55,587 --> 01:29:56,547
Speaker 8: spot point racing?

1732
01:29:56,627 --> 01:29:58,867
Speaker 19: Do you think there's some of these middle tea there's as.

1733
01:29:58,587 --> 01:30:00,307
Speaker 7: A priminal extrum in the future.

1734
01:30:00,107 --> 01:30:03,827
Speaker 20: Walls one of kind of I think ultimately, you know,

1735
01:30:04,107 --> 01:30:06,187
Speaker 20: hope to the race kind of film was the size

1736
01:30:06,187 --> 01:30:09,707
Speaker 20: of and play with the breeze and we had podcast

1737
01:30:09,827 --> 01:30:13,387
Speaker 20: and it were good. But we were completely comfortable with

1738
01:30:13,547 --> 01:30:15,507
Speaker 20: the races yesterday and the reasoning as well.

1739
01:30:20,747 --> 01:30:23,947
Speaker 21: You see yesterday that you would have preferred thirteen the

1740
01:30:24,027 --> 01:30:26,867
Speaker 21: full fleet standing out there after you saw I guess

1741
01:30:26,907 --> 01:30:29,587
Speaker 21: your groupings today, probably a bit opportunity there for you.

1742
01:30:29,707 --> 01:30:31,867
Speaker 3: I guess, Yeah, what were your follow up course now

1743
01:30:31,907 --> 01:30:33,307
Speaker 3: that you've headed their proper racing?

1744
01:30:33,347 --> 01:30:34,427
Speaker 14: Aren't that? Yeah?

1745
01:30:34,467 --> 01:30:37,227
Speaker 20: I spoke to race management this morning about what I

1746
01:30:37,347 --> 01:30:40,347
Speaker 20: thought today, and you know, my opinion was quite clear.

1747
01:30:40,387 --> 01:30:42,267
Speaker 20: In terms of yesterday, I thought it was completely fine,

1748
01:30:42,347 --> 01:30:45,387
Speaker 20: but if we saw that step up in windspeed, then

1749
01:30:45,427 --> 01:30:47,747
Speaker 20: absolutely there's a safety factor and it is safer with

1750
01:30:47,867 --> 01:30:48,387
Speaker 20: less boats.

1751
01:30:48,827 --> 01:30:50,707
Speaker 8: I also voiced it, I didn't.

1752
01:30:50,507 --> 01:30:52,947
Speaker 20: Think it's necessarily as fair without knowing what the fleets

1753
01:30:52,947 --> 01:30:55,507
Speaker 20: would be. I guess from my point of view, I

1754
01:30:55,547 --> 01:30:58,067
Speaker 20: think that number one priority has to be safety and

1755
01:30:58,347 --> 01:30:59,987
Speaker 20: also putting on a good show. And it felt like

1756
01:31:00,027 --> 01:31:00,667
Speaker 20: we did that today.

1757
01:31:01,427 --> 01:31:02,867
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess, just putting on a good show.

1758
01:31:03,107 --> 01:31:05,587
Speaker 21: Do you feel like Tom tried to the new guys

1759
01:31:05,787 --> 01:31:07,707
Speaker 21: at the start of the final and kind of just

1760
01:31:07,987 --> 01:31:10,027
Speaker 21: ignored nor the spinners, because that's kind of what it

1761
01:31:10,067 --> 01:31:11,627
Speaker 21: looked like. It was kind of met racing you.

1762
01:31:12,387 --> 01:31:15,987
Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah, we knew. We had a conversation before the

1763
01:31:16,027 --> 01:31:18,427
Speaker 20: start of the race. We were like, they're just going

1764
01:31:18,467 --> 01:31:19,787
Speaker 20: to sit on our hammer and they're just going to

1765
01:31:19,827 --> 01:31:21,827
Speaker 20: try and match racers, And we were like do we

1766
01:31:21,867 --> 01:31:24,227
Speaker 20: get involved. We're like, this is not why we're here.

1767
01:31:24,347 --> 01:31:26,387
Speaker 20: We're here to play the big pitch. If they want

1768
01:31:26,427 --> 01:31:28,587
Speaker 20: to play silly games, you have fine. Sometimes you know

1769
01:31:28,627 --> 01:31:30,947
Speaker 20: they win or lose, but ultimately you know they let

1770
01:31:31,147 --> 01:31:33,147
Speaker 20: we both let the Spanish walk away with the start

1771
01:31:33,227 --> 01:31:35,307
Speaker 20: from tying from getting sort of tied up. So I

1772
01:31:35,387 --> 01:31:38,907
Speaker 20: think it was a difficult start box which really lended

1773
01:31:38,947 --> 01:31:41,907
Speaker 20: itself to be really late in So maybe in future

1774
01:31:41,947 --> 01:31:43,547
Speaker 20: we need to look at the start box and how

1775
01:31:43,627 --> 01:31:46,227
Speaker 20: we can maybe give some more starting options to have

1776
01:31:46,307 --> 01:31:47,347
Speaker 20: some tactical options there.

1777
01:31:47,587 --> 01:31:48,067
Speaker 14: Yeah, I guess this.

1778
01:31:48,267 --> 01:31:50,907
Speaker 21: Lastly, you're kind of overall takeaway from the weekend from

1779
01:31:51,027 --> 01:31:53,107
Speaker 21: how the scene performed and how you're finish shot.

1780
01:31:53,547 --> 01:31:55,707
Speaker 20: I think really proud of how the team bounced back

1781
01:31:55,707 --> 01:31:59,587
Speaker 20: from a difficult first race. I think that you know,

1782
01:31:59,787 --> 01:32:02,987
Speaker 20: it's it's a long season and we love rating in

1783
01:32:03,027 --> 01:32:06,267
Speaker 20: these conditions. Really unfortunate the racing incident and obviously wishing

1784
01:32:06,587 --> 01:32:07,907
Speaker 20: the athletes has beeny recovery.

1785
01:32:08,387 --> 01:32:11,867
Speaker 3: That is the voice of Dylan Fletcher, the highly experienced

1786
01:32:12,107 --> 01:32:15,307
Speaker 3: driver of the Great Britain team who have finished second

1787
01:32:15,387 --> 01:32:19,147
Speaker 3: here in New Zealand, having won the season opening event

1788
01:32:19,347 --> 01:32:21,747
Speaker 3: in Perth. So a very good start for the defending

1789
01:32:21,867 --> 01:32:26,747
Speaker 3: champion Great Britain team with Dylan Fletcher in the driver's seat.

1790
01:32:26,867 --> 01:32:29,627
Speaker 3: It's coming up sixteen past two. Let's get you to

1791
01:32:30,107 --> 01:32:35,507
Speaker 3: the Italian team and their driver, Phil Robertson, who has

1792
01:32:35,627 --> 01:32:38,307
Speaker 3: taken on the driver's seat for Red Bull Italy in

1793
01:32:38,387 --> 01:32:40,787
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. Here are some of his thoughts a

1794
01:32:40,867 --> 01:32:41,507
Speaker 3: short time ago.

1795
01:32:42,307 --> 01:32:42,987
Speaker 22: No, we are there.

1796
01:32:43,667 --> 01:32:45,547
Speaker 8: Yeah, that was a wild little weekend.

1797
01:32:45,747 --> 01:32:47,467
Speaker 23: I think it was in the forecast and we all

1798
01:32:47,507 --> 01:32:50,147
Speaker 23: expected it, but probably no one expected what actually went

1799
01:32:50,187 --> 01:32:50,707
Speaker 23: on on the race.

1800
01:32:50,787 --> 01:32:52,947
Speaker 8: Well, so, yeah, tricky weekend.

1801
01:32:53,787 --> 01:32:54,707
Speaker 12: Thinking tough for us.

1802
01:32:54,827 --> 01:32:56,787
Speaker 23: We're sort of a new group of people and the

1803
01:32:57,067 --> 01:33:00,867
Speaker 23: hardest conditions you can sell these boats and then go yes,

1804
01:33:00,947 --> 01:33:02,987
Speaker 23: we sort of gives you a brutal slap on the

1805
01:33:03,027 --> 01:33:05,267
Speaker 23: face and were stand in the pecking order.

1806
01:33:05,187 --> 01:33:07,347
Speaker 8: And we're right at the bottom of.

1807
01:33:07,427 --> 01:33:09,787
Speaker 22: That in terms of that though, it's good to have

1808
01:33:09,947 --> 01:33:13,307
Speaker 22: those experiences for next time, you know, you know, also

1809
01:33:13,387 --> 01:33:14,547
Speaker 22: expect in the future as a team.

1810
01:33:14,627 --> 01:33:18,667
Speaker 23: Finally, yeah, look, it certainly puts a rocking up our

1811
01:33:18,747 --> 01:33:21,987
Speaker 23: ass in terms of how quickly we want to learn

1812
01:33:22,067 --> 01:33:26,107
Speaker 23: and develop. So yeah, we're going to be yeah, putting

1813
01:33:26,427 --> 01:33:28,947
Speaker 23: pins of paper pretty quickly after this event and making

1814
01:33:28,987 --> 01:33:31,827
Speaker 23: sure we show up to Sydney in two weeks sign

1815
01:33:31,907 --> 01:33:33,987
Speaker 23: with some honest reflections.

1816
01:33:34,267 --> 01:33:36,107
Speaker 22: What did you make of the split fleet today? Is

1817
01:33:36,147 --> 01:33:38,107
Speaker 22: there something there is support going forward?

1818
01:33:38,187 --> 01:33:38,667
Speaker 8: Potentially?

1819
01:33:39,347 --> 01:33:42,507
Speaker 23: Yeah, look after yesterday, I was actually quite relieved to

1820
01:33:42,547 --> 01:33:45,347
Speaker 23: see split fleets, but has a spectacle. I think it

1821
01:33:45,467 --> 01:33:50,427
Speaker 23: really gets compromised, So I'm not sure there's certainly a

1822
01:33:50,587 --> 01:33:53,547
Speaker 23: short racetrack like this is pretty tough to have thirteen

1823
01:33:53,587 --> 01:33:53,947
Speaker 23: boats on.

1824
01:33:53,987 --> 01:33:57,067
Speaker 8: It's all ripping at those speeds. But maybe there's just

1825
01:33:57,147 --> 01:33:57,947
Speaker 8: a little tweak to the.

1826
01:33:57,987 --> 01:33:59,987
Speaker 23: Race course and what angles we're saying to make it

1827
01:34:00,067 --> 01:34:03,507
Speaker 23: a bit safer. And yeah, I think everyone's sitting in

1828
01:34:03,547 --> 01:34:05,467
Speaker 23: the stands would prefer to see all thirteen on the

1829
01:34:05,547 --> 01:34:06,147
Speaker 23: start line as a.

1830
01:34:07,187 --> 01:34:09,227
Speaker 22: Did you talk to any of your fellow kiwis yesterday

1831
01:34:09,267 --> 01:34:11,267
Speaker 22: after that huge crash or any of the French guys?

1832
01:34:11,307 --> 01:34:11,987
Speaker 8: Just what were your I.

1833
01:34:11,987 --> 01:34:15,187
Speaker 22: Guess reaction to the replays and bring unreal?

1834
01:34:15,867 --> 01:34:16,547
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw.

1835
01:34:17,347 --> 01:34:19,547
Speaker 23: I only saw a couple of them and just gave

1836
01:34:19,627 --> 01:34:22,347
Speaker 23: them a hug to be honest and see how they're doing,

1837
01:34:22,467 --> 01:34:25,187
Speaker 23: because it's just a brutal It looks horrible and you

1838
01:34:25,227 --> 01:34:27,667
Speaker 23: don't want to go through that experience, having been through

1839
01:34:27,667 --> 01:34:29,987
Speaker 23: a few in the past. It's not a very nice

1840
01:34:30,067 --> 01:34:32,027
Speaker 23: thing and there's not much you can say, but yeah,

1841
01:34:32,027 --> 01:34:33,627
Speaker 23: I'm just glad everyone's going all right.

1842
01:34:34,507 --> 01:34:36,867
Speaker 21: I thought you're still any breach to mark one in

1843
01:34:36,987 --> 01:34:40,187
Speaker 21: the first race had very similar spin out to.

1844
01:34:40,187 --> 01:34:41,027
Speaker 18: The things yesterday.

1845
01:34:41,187 --> 01:34:43,347
Speaker 3: Was it a sense of I'm glad there's not ten

1846
01:34:43,427 --> 01:34:44,027
Speaker 3: on the boats.

1847
01:34:43,787 --> 01:34:44,027
Speaker 6: Out of you?

1848
01:34:45,187 --> 01:34:50,307
Speaker 23: Yeah, there's certainly. Yeah, there's certainly that I thought, I

1849
01:34:50,387 --> 01:34:53,747
Speaker 23: guess afterwards, But in the moment as well, we knew

1850
01:34:53,747 --> 01:34:56,507
Speaker 23: where we were on the line there was none below us,

1851
01:34:56,547 --> 01:34:58,347
Speaker 23: so you're pushing the boat right on the limit there.

1852
01:34:58,347 --> 01:35:01,787
Speaker 23: You're not really adding a safety factor into into how

1853
01:35:01,827 --> 01:35:04,467
Speaker 23: you're sailing it in that moment. So we definitely have

1854
01:35:04,587 --> 01:35:07,667
Speaker 23: different levels of push and the team, and that was

1855
01:35:07,667 --> 01:35:11,147
Speaker 23: a level to go max max push and hope for

1856
01:35:11,187 --> 01:35:12,947
Speaker 23: the best and we went over the edge.

1857
01:35:13,787 --> 01:35:15,947
Speaker 3: You mentioned the spectacle of it. Did you feel like

1858
01:35:16,067 --> 01:35:19,427
Speaker 3: though the racing was exciting today, it.

1859
01:35:19,467 --> 01:35:21,747
Speaker 23: Doesn't really change much for us on board, to be honest,

1860
01:35:21,787 --> 01:35:24,667
Speaker 23: whether there's six or thirteen, there's obviously a little more traffic,

1861
01:35:24,707 --> 01:35:28,347
Speaker 23: but you're still having closing speeds of close to two

1862
01:35:28,387 --> 01:35:31,387
Speaker 23: hundred klimeters an hour. We're boat set many multiple times

1863
01:35:31,387 --> 01:35:34,987
Speaker 23: a race around the racetrack anyway, So yeah, it didn't

1864
01:35:34,987 --> 01:35:36,347
Speaker 23: really change a whole lot, to be honest.

1865

Speaker 3: How was today how and give us the general overview

1881
01:36:27,587 --> 01:36:30,067
Speaker 3: of how it played out today and effect across the weekend.

1882
01:36:30,947 --> 01:36:34,427
Speaker 13: Yeah, look, today was pretty spicy to be honest, it

1883
01:36:34,547 --> 01:36:37,467
Speaker 13: was fresh to frightening at times. We are you know,

1884
01:36:37,547 --> 01:36:41,907
Speaker 13: that last final race, we were right in the very

1885
01:36:41,987 --> 01:36:44,307
Speaker 13: beginning of a square coming through, you know, up to

1886
01:36:44,387 --> 01:36:46,547
Speaker 13: sort of thirty knots of breeze or even more at times.

1887
01:36:46,627 --> 01:36:50,227
Speaker 13: And yeah, it was definitely survival of the of the

1888
01:36:50,267 --> 01:36:53,347
Speaker 13: fittest there at times, but a huge amount of fun,

1889
01:36:53,467 --> 01:36:55,867
Speaker 13: but definitely right on the edge of control. And you

1890
01:36:55,907 --> 01:36:58,067
Speaker 13: know you're using all your skills and all the gearbox

1891
01:36:58,147 --> 01:36:59,067
Speaker 13: of the boat, that's for sure.

1892
01:36:59,387 --> 01:37:02,147
Speaker 3: So split fleet today for a couple of fleet racers,

1893
01:37:02,147 --> 01:37:04,427
Speaker 3: and then of course the three boat final. What was

1894
01:37:04,467 --> 01:37:07,507
Speaker 3: it like in a smaller flat and you know, what

1895
01:37:07,667 --> 01:37:10,187
Speaker 3: was five or six in the fleet for fleet racing

1896
01:37:10,307 --> 01:37:11,187
Speaker 3: it could be to thirteen.

1897
01:37:11,467 --> 01:37:13,947
Speaker 13: Yeah, it look definitely definitely a lot sort of easier

1898
01:37:14,627 --> 01:37:16,947
Speaker 13: positioning wise, a lot less sort of risk in those

1899
01:37:17,227 --> 01:37:20,627
Speaker 13: really tight quarter situations. You've still got plenty going on,

1900
01:37:20,827 --> 01:37:24,307
Speaker 13: like there's still boats whipping everywhere and split second decisions.

1901
01:37:24,387 --> 01:37:26,507
Speaker 13: But to put the helm ont, the goggles back on

1902
01:37:26,627 --> 01:37:28,707
Speaker 13: and sort of get that racing vibe going again. It's

1903
01:37:28,707 --> 01:37:30,267
Speaker 13: been a long time for me, about sort of five

1904
01:37:30,387 --> 01:37:31,867
Speaker 13: years since I really raced here, you know, for the

1905
01:37:31,907 --> 01:37:33,667
Speaker 13: America's Cup in twenty one and to get back out

1906
01:37:33,707 --> 01:37:36,227
Speaker 13: there on the White Matter again and you know, be

1907
01:37:36,347 --> 01:37:38,547
Speaker 13: sort of seeing everyone and cashing up with people again,

1908
01:37:38,587 --> 01:37:41,227
Speaker 13: it's been It's been quite surreal, to be honest. It's

1909
01:37:41,267 --> 01:37:45,667
Speaker 13: the first time I've sailed really for Australia since the

1910
01:37:45,827 --> 01:37:47,907
Speaker 13: two thousand and eight for the Beijing Olympics. So I've

1911
01:37:47,947 --> 01:37:51,547
Speaker 13: been with Emerate Sam MW Zealand really since twenty ten

1912
01:37:51,587 --> 01:37:53,747
Speaker 13: and then sort of stepped away in twenty twenty one,

1913
01:37:53,827 --> 01:37:56,987
Speaker 13: and still obviously very connected to the team. But to

1914
01:37:57,227 --> 01:37:59,227
Speaker 13: sail with your Green and Gold undys on it's you know,

1915
01:37:59,267 --> 01:38:01,027
Speaker 13: it's been special. Have the family here as well, it's

1916
01:38:01,027 --> 01:38:01,307
Speaker 13: been great.

1917
01:38:01,347 --> 01:38:03,667
Speaker 3: I bet it has. This of course happened after after

1918
01:38:03,747 --> 01:38:06,027
Speaker 3: Ian Jensen heard his knee. You came into Perth.

1919
01:38:06,467 --> 01:38:07,027
Speaker 21: What was the funk?

1920
01:38:07,067 --> 01:38:08,987
Speaker 3: Did Tom Slingsby give you a call? How did it

1921
01:38:09,027 --> 01:38:09,467
Speaker 3: all happen?

1922
01:38:10,227 --> 01:38:13,707
Speaker 13: Yeah, looked Tom rang about ten to ten, I think

1923
01:38:13,747 --> 01:38:16,467
Speaker 13: on Thursday night, and you know, I was literally ten

1924
01:38:16,507 --> 01:38:18,627
Speaker 13: minutes from turning my phone off and going to sleep.

1925
01:38:18,707 --> 01:38:22,187
Speaker 13: I was in majamas and Tom rang and said, look, Ian,

1926
01:38:22,227 --> 01:38:24,227
Speaker 13: it's just you know, there are four hours behind. So

1927
01:38:24,267 --> 01:38:26,307
Speaker 13: He's like, look, Ian's just really badly hurt his need.

1928
01:38:26,307 --> 01:38:27,307
Speaker 13: Do you think you'd be able to jump on a

1929
01:38:27,347 --> 01:38:29,067
Speaker 13: plane in the morning and you know, come over and

1930
01:38:29,107 --> 01:38:30,987
Speaker 13: have a sail? I said, Tommy, it's been been a

1931
01:38:31,027 --> 01:38:33,107
Speaker 13: few years since I've had a sale, Like I'm a

1932
01:38:33,107 --> 01:38:35,187
Speaker 13: bit out of practice and pretty unfit. And he goes, no, No,

1933
01:38:35,267 --> 01:38:36,547
Speaker 13: if you can jump on a plane, we'd take a

1934
01:38:36,627 --> 01:38:39,387
Speaker 13: year and a halfbeat. So forty five minutes later we'd

1935
01:38:39,427 --> 01:38:41,147
Speaker 13: organized some flights and three and a half hours later

1936
01:38:41,227 --> 01:38:43,867
Speaker 13: I left from our house at three point fifteen in

1937
01:38:43,907 --> 01:38:46,627
Speaker 13: the morning to catch a six am flight in Melbourne.

1938
01:38:46,627 --> 01:38:48,987
Speaker 13: And yeah, about six hours later I was actually shooting

1939
01:38:49,027 --> 01:38:51,387
Speaker 13: on sailing in Perth at ten thirty am Perth time.

1940
01:38:51,467 --> 01:38:54,427
Speaker 13: So we survived the weekend over there and managed to

1941
01:38:54,587 --> 01:38:57,307
Speaker 13: you know, sort of you know, get a second position there,

1942
01:38:57,347 --> 01:39:00,507
Speaker 13: which was really nice for the team, and you know,

1943
01:39:00,867 --> 01:39:04,947
Speaker 13: to come here and you know, I had zero expectations

1944
01:39:04,987 --> 01:39:07,187
Speaker 13: of sitting here talking to you guys having won the event,

1945
01:39:07,587 --> 01:39:10,067
Speaker 13: you know, leading into this. But for the team to

1946
01:39:10,587 --> 01:39:12,467
Speaker 13: have a first in a second and for me not

1947
01:39:12,587 --> 01:39:14,787
Speaker 13: to crash the boat or tipped us over it, it's

1948
01:39:14,827 --> 01:39:15,427
Speaker 13: pretty nice.

1949
01:39:16,227 --> 01:39:16,707
Speaker 14: You take that.

1950
01:39:16,867 --> 01:39:19,067
Speaker 3: That's a victory absolutely. I think you're being a bit humble.

1951
01:39:19,507 --> 01:39:22,067
Speaker 13: What are the f fifties Like, I look there, they

1952
01:39:22,107 --> 01:39:24,467
Speaker 13: are incredible boats and you know from from the I

1953
01:39:24,507 --> 01:39:27,107
Speaker 13: guess the AC fifties that we sailed leading up to

1954
01:39:27,347 --> 01:39:29,827
Speaker 13: Bermuda and then obviously ultimately, you know, winning the America's

1955
01:39:29,867 --> 01:39:32,427
Speaker 13: Cup on the fifties four emerate Steamy zelm was a

1956
01:39:32,547 --> 01:39:34,947
Speaker 13: you know, a dream come true from me, you know,

1957
01:39:35,027 --> 01:39:37,267
Speaker 13: from where we were initially with that. For the boats

1958
01:39:37,307 --> 01:39:39,387
Speaker 13: to then turn into the f fifties, you know, we've

1959
01:39:39,427 --> 01:39:42,587
Speaker 13: got t foils, we've got different systems, different wings, you

1960
01:39:42,667 --> 01:39:43,867
Speaker 13: can change the configuration.

1961
01:39:44,467 --> 01:39:46,507
Speaker 9: The boats are absolutely.

1962
01:39:45,907 --> 01:39:52,787
Speaker 13: Incredible, amazingly powerful, amazingly efficient, you know, pure athleticism for

1963
01:39:53,147 --> 01:39:56,027
Speaker 13: the crew on board. And I really think it showcases

1964
01:39:56,107 --> 01:39:58,907
Speaker 13: the sport super super well. It's got all the attributes

1965
01:39:58,947 --> 01:40:02,187
Speaker 13: that you need for you know, really showcasing you know

1966
01:40:02,227 --> 01:40:04,427
Speaker 13: what the sport can be. And I think pushing technology,

1967
01:40:04,507 --> 01:40:09,627
Speaker 13: pushing boundaries, pushing the limb of physics is very very special.

1968
01:40:09,707 --> 01:40:13,027
Speaker 13: So for me personally to have the opportunity to take

1969
01:40:13,027 --> 01:40:14,627
Speaker 13: the dusty old boots off the wall and jump back

1970
01:40:14,667 --> 01:40:15,707
Speaker 13: on against been very special.

1971
01:40:15,827 --> 01:40:18,387
Speaker 3: So you hadn't sailed for five years since the America's

1972
01:40:18,387 --> 01:40:20,347
Speaker 3: Cup at twenty one. You must have been out on

1973
01:40:20,387 --> 01:40:23,587
Speaker 3: the water, but nothing competitive from the time since nothing really.

1974
01:40:23,627 --> 01:40:26,587
Speaker 13: I did a couple of events for the Swiss Swiss

1975
01:40:26,627 --> 01:40:29,587
Speaker 13: team with Sebastian Snyder about three three and a half

1976
01:40:29,707 --> 01:40:31,347
Speaker 13: years ago, just sort of filled in. Was just sort

1977
01:40:31,347 --> 01:40:33,547
Speaker 13: of trying to upskill from new wing trim as coming through.

1978
01:40:33,667 --> 01:40:35,467
Speaker 13: And you know, I feel like I've had a pretty

1979
01:40:35,467 --> 01:40:37,187
Speaker 13: good run over the years and I'm very happy to

1980
01:40:37,227 --> 01:40:39,227
Speaker 13: sort of hand the reins over to the new guys

1981
01:40:39,267 --> 01:40:41,667
Speaker 13: and girls that are coming through and super happy to help.

1982
01:40:41,707 --> 01:40:45,627
Speaker 13: And you know, I've known Ian Jensen for a long time,

1983
01:40:46,187 --> 01:40:48,827
Speaker 13: Nathan Outridge as well, who's now with Emirates Team New Zealand.

1984
01:40:49,907 --> 01:40:50,747
Speaker 8: Them are best mates.

1985
01:40:50,787 --> 01:40:52,627
Speaker 13: And when Tom rang, who's also you know, one of

1986
01:40:52,707 --> 01:40:54,387
Speaker 13: my best mates as well, growing up together something in

1987
01:40:54,427 --> 01:40:56,627
Speaker 13: the laser while I was doing the Tornado Olympic campaign,

1988
01:40:56,907 --> 01:40:58,907
Speaker 13: when he rang and said, look, Goops has hurt himself,

1989
01:40:58,987 --> 01:41:00,747
Speaker 13: you know, could you feel in. I didn't have to

1990
01:41:00,787 --> 01:41:02,267
Speaker 13: think about it too long, you know, I thought, well,

1991
01:41:02,627 --> 01:41:04,467
Speaker 13: I just hope I don't let the team down, you know,

1992
01:41:04,587 --> 01:41:09,027
Speaker 13: And they've looked after me brilliantly, you know, Jason Waterhouse,

1993
01:41:09,067 --> 01:41:11,587
Speaker 13: the flight controller, the other guys on the boat, and

1994
01:41:11,747 --> 01:41:15,867
Speaker 13: Tash Bryant, you know, her helming ability to look after

1995
01:41:15,947 --> 01:41:17,907
Speaker 13: me while we're exiting jibes while I'm trying to get

1996
01:41:17,947 --> 01:41:22,827
Speaker 13: myself organized and do my job well. She is an absolute,

1997
01:41:22,947 --> 01:41:26,067
Speaker 13: absolute star and she'll be a big force in the future.

1998
01:41:26,107 --> 01:41:28,587
Speaker 13: But I feel super honored to be able to sail

1999
01:41:28,627 --> 01:41:31,187
Speaker 13: with a fantastic team. And it's the vibe off the

2000
01:41:31,227 --> 01:41:33,867
Speaker 13: water that's honestly very very special. And I think culturally

2001
01:41:34,507 --> 01:41:37,027
Speaker 13: New Zealand and Australia, you know, we've all grown up

2002
01:41:37,107 --> 01:41:39,907
Speaker 13: super similarly, and I think, you know, we're all we're

2003
01:41:39,947 --> 01:41:41,707
Speaker 13: all pretty similar, and I think that an Zac spirit

2004
01:41:41,867 --> 01:41:43,907
Speaker 13: is it was so nice to see this weekend and

2005
01:41:43,947 --> 01:41:46,547
Speaker 13: the support, you know of the Kiwi fans. You know,

2006
01:41:46,627 --> 01:41:48,267
Speaker 13: I feel like I've had an All Blacks jersey on

2007
01:41:48,347 --> 01:41:50,267
Speaker 13: for quite a while and it almost feels like family.

2008
01:41:50,347 --> 01:41:51,627
Speaker 8: So it's been a lovely weekend.

2009
01:41:51,747 --> 01:41:54,227
Speaker 3: Wonderful stuff, is it? You know, it's like riding a bike,

2010
01:41:54,667 --> 01:41:56,587
Speaker 3: Is it like you know, sailing a boat. Did you

2011
01:41:56,587 --> 01:41:59,147
Speaker 3: feel that the muscle memory come back straight away for you?

2012
01:42:00,187 --> 01:42:02,507
Speaker 13: Yeah, Look, the ring puck is definitely still there, but

2013
01:42:02,587 --> 01:42:04,987
Speaker 13: it's windy, that's for sure. But yeah, no, look it

2014
01:42:05,107 --> 01:42:07,027
Speaker 13: is like riding a bike jump on it. It's a

2015
01:42:07,067 --> 01:42:09,387
Speaker 13: bit like jumping probably on a you know, a two

2016
01:42:09,467 --> 01:42:11,987
Speaker 13: hundred and fifty horse power super bike and popping a

2017
01:42:11,987 --> 01:42:13,907
Speaker 13: wheelie after you haven't really done one for a while.

2018
01:42:13,987 --> 01:42:15,507
Speaker 13: It's sort of like you remember how to do it,

2019
01:42:15,627 --> 01:42:17,067
Speaker 13: but you've got a lot of power to deal with

2020
01:42:17,187 --> 01:42:18,867
Speaker 13: and you know you've got to you got to think

2021
01:42:18,867 --> 01:42:21,947
Speaker 13: about it. So look, it's been absolutely wonderful to have

2022
01:42:22,027 --> 01:42:25,307
Speaker 13: a sail again. It has sort of you know, I

2023
01:42:25,347 --> 01:42:26,787
Speaker 13: guess scratched a bit of an itch, you sort of

2024
01:42:26,827 --> 01:42:29,027
Speaker 13: one day, can you still do it? Certainly the body

2025
01:42:29,107 --> 01:42:30,667
Speaker 13: is probably going to feel a bit sort Ofmorrow, I

2026
01:42:30,747 --> 01:42:32,707
Speaker 13: think it might be an ibprof and dinner and a

2027
01:42:32,787 --> 01:42:35,387
Speaker 13: desertive patodal, I think tonight for me. But look it's

2028
01:42:35,427 --> 01:42:37,307
Speaker 13: been it's been great and to get the boat back

2029
01:42:37,307 --> 01:42:40,987
Speaker 13: in one piece. Obviously yesterday, you know, a very very

2030
01:42:41,107 --> 01:42:43,587
Speaker 13: tricky day, you know, for the fleet, and our thoughts

2031
01:42:43,667 --> 01:42:45,907
Speaker 13: go out for Louis Sinclair and you know the key

2032
01:42:45,987 --> 01:42:49,587
Speaker 13: we team and also the French as well, Lee McMillan

2033
01:42:49,667 --> 01:42:52,747
Speaker 13: and Monin you know she she she basically went through

2034
01:42:52,787 --> 01:42:55,467
Speaker 13: the steering wheel and you know, three people in hospital yesterday,

2035
01:42:55,547 --> 01:42:59,107
Speaker 13: so we can't forget that what we're doing is very

2036
01:42:59,267 --> 01:43:02,707
Speaker 13: very high end. It's dangerous and you're on the limits,

2037
01:43:02,747 --> 01:43:06,267
Speaker 13: and sometimes things don't go as planned, so our thoughts

2038
01:43:06,467 --> 01:43:09,547
Speaker 13: with them and fortunately today we had a clean day

2039
01:43:09,587 --> 01:43:11,827
Speaker 13: and some great racings, so got to showcase what the

2040
01:43:11,867 --> 01:43:12,347
Speaker 13: sport can do.

2041
01:43:12,507 --> 01:43:14,867
Speaker 3: Do you believe the balance can be struck between you know,

2042
01:43:15,027 --> 01:43:18,147
Speaker 3: going right to the edge to make it as spectacular

2043
01:43:18,187 --> 01:43:20,707
Speaker 3: as possible for the sailors and for the fans, and

2044
01:43:20,947 --> 01:43:24,107
Speaker 3: ensuring as much as you can the safety of the participants.

2045
01:43:24,467 --> 01:43:27,107
Speaker 13: Look, it's always a very very delicate balance that whole thing.

2046
01:43:27,227 --> 01:43:29,267
Speaker 13: Motor racing is the same. You know a lot of

2047
01:43:29,347 --> 01:43:30,867
Speaker 13: other sports where you're right on the edge. We've seen

2048
01:43:30,907 --> 01:43:33,227
Speaker 13: with the Winter Olympics, you know just how on edge

2049
01:43:33,667 --> 01:43:36,387
Speaker 13: the athletes are and there's been some big crashes there

2050
01:43:36,387 --> 01:43:38,107
Speaker 13: as well, and that's part of sport.

2051
01:43:38,187 --> 01:43:41,227
Speaker 2: You know, we're a technical based sport. You know there

2052
01:43:41,347 --> 01:43:41,787
Speaker 2: is the risk.

2053
01:43:41,867 --> 01:43:43,587
Speaker 13: You know, whether you're riding in a paloton on a

2054
01:43:43,627 --> 01:43:47,027
Speaker 13: pushbike and someone goes down, you know, bad things happen.

2055
01:43:47,107 --> 01:43:48,427
Speaker 13: But I think at the end of the day that

2056
01:43:48,547 --> 01:43:51,387
Speaker 13: the boats are incredible, the athletes are incredible. The absolute

2057
01:43:51,427 --> 01:43:54,627
Speaker 13: best sailors are sailing these boats. So we're in good

2058
01:43:54,627 --> 01:43:57,107
Speaker 13: shape there and Yah, sometimes unlucky things happen, but I

2059
01:43:57,147 --> 01:43:59,947
Speaker 13: think going forwards, you know, what we can do as

2060
01:43:59,987 --> 01:44:01,827
Speaker 13: a sport is just sort of keep looking at what

2061
01:44:01,907 --> 01:44:03,667
Speaker 13: we can do to make sure we're in as best

2062
01:44:03,707 --> 01:44:05,387
Speaker 13: possible place as we can be in the future.

2063
01:44:05,467 --> 01:44:07,907
Speaker 3: All right, just to finish then, we don't know about

2064
01:44:07,987 --> 01:44:10,667
Speaker 3: Higgan's injury. Are you You're off to Sydney for the

2065
01:44:10,787 --> 01:44:12,547
Speaker 3: for the nixt Regatta in a couple of weeks. Is

2066
01:44:12,627 --> 01:44:15,627
Speaker 3: it just kind of event by event for you, Glenn?

2067
01:44:15,787 --> 01:44:16,907
Speaker 3: That is that the way it's going to work.

2068
01:44:17,307 --> 01:44:19,707
Speaker 13: Yeah, Look at this stage, we're really hoping that that

2069
01:44:19,827 --> 01:44:22,627
Speaker 13: ian Ian will be ready to go for Sydney. I mean,

2070
01:44:22,747 --> 01:44:24,667
Speaker 13: he's still in a brace at the moment, but he's

2071
01:44:24,827 --> 01:44:26,787
Speaker 13: he's got the best of the best looking after him,

2072
01:44:27,147 --> 01:44:29,627
Speaker 13: Ash from Emeratestea, New Zealand, like he's joined emerts Tea,

2073
01:44:29,627 --> 01:44:33,027
Speaker 13: New Zealand. They've got the best physios, the best doctors

2074
01:44:33,347 --> 01:44:36,427
Speaker 13: helping him go forwards. His a c L is re knitting,

2075
01:44:37,227 --> 01:44:39,427
Speaker 13: as we know, when those fibers just start to re knit.

2076
01:44:39,507 --> 01:44:41,707
Speaker 13: You're okay in a sort of straight line in playing,

2077
01:44:41,747 --> 01:44:44,867
Speaker 13: but as soon as you twist or or load it

2078
01:44:45,467 --> 01:44:48,227
Speaker 13: obscurely you can you can cause some damage. So I'm

2079
01:44:48,267 --> 01:44:50,427
Speaker 13: really hoping, you know, I'm really hoping that it'll be

2080
01:44:50,507 --> 01:44:51,947
Speaker 13: ready to go again from Sydney, cause I don't know

2081
01:44:51,947 --> 01:44:55,027
Speaker 13: whether my body will even be ready to go by Sydney.

2082
01:44:55,107 --> 01:44:57,667
Speaker 13: But look, I think that all chances are that he'll

2083
01:44:57,667 --> 01:44:59,107
Speaker 13: be ready for Sidney. But I'll probably be there on

2084
01:44:59,187 --> 01:45:02,107
Speaker 13: standby just in case, you know, something untoward happens. But

2085
01:45:02,747 --> 01:45:04,787
Speaker 13: it's lovely to be back again, you know, seeing your

2086
01:45:04,827 --> 01:45:07,387
Speaker 13: friends and the people you haven't seen for quite a while.

2087
01:45:07,427 --> 01:45:09,707

2125
01:46:52,267 --> 01:46:55,467
Speaker 3: When sale GP comes to Auckland, what does it deliver

2126
01:46:55,747 --> 01:46:59,347
Speaker 3: economically and in other senses for the city.

2127
01:47:00,387 --> 01:47:02,667
Speaker 24: Well, we expect in straight economic terms for it to

2128
01:47:02,667 --> 01:47:06,347
Speaker 24: add about five million GDP, which is what happened last year.

2129
01:47:06,507 --> 01:47:09,787
Speaker 24: So their numbers in the forecasting was really good last year.

2130
01:47:09,787 --> 01:47:12,427
Speaker 24: There's twenty five thousand spectators.

2131
01:47:13,067 --> 01:47:16,147
Speaker 8: We're hoping to do better this year. But it actually

2132
01:47:16,147 --> 01:47:17,107
Speaker 8: there's a lot more to it than that.

2133
01:47:17,227 --> 01:47:19,027
Speaker 24: I think it's the boost that it gives to a

2134
01:47:19,067 --> 01:47:21,507
Speaker 24: lot of the businesses in the city and the confidence

2135
01:47:21,587 --> 01:47:23,587
Speaker 24: for people to come out and all the other things

2136
01:47:23,627 --> 01:47:26,907
Speaker 24: that happen around it. So if you've wandered down through

2137
01:47:27,027 --> 01:47:30,027
Speaker 24: the along the waterfront and through Britain Art and Queen Street,

2138
01:47:30,107 --> 01:47:34,507
Speaker 24: it's absolutely packed and as it should be. But also

2139
01:47:34,627 --> 01:47:37,907
Speaker 24: I think the images that are broadcast around the world

2140
01:47:37,947 --> 01:47:40,787
Speaker 24: are absolutely stunning and sled GP have used them a lot,

2141
01:47:41,627 --> 01:47:44,827
Speaker 24: and it just helps tell the story of Tamucke of

2142
01:47:44,867 --> 01:47:48,667
Speaker 24: Auckland of New Zealand. So it's an event that already

2143
01:47:48,667 --> 01:47:49,187
Speaker 24: belongs here.

2144
01:47:49,547 --> 01:47:52,027
Speaker 3: Yeah, so all of that sounds very positive. So are

2145
01:47:52,107 --> 01:47:55,387
Speaker 3: you committed to making it an annual event on Auckland's calendar?

2146
01:47:55,547 --> 01:47:55,747
Speaker 8: Yeah?

2147
01:47:56,067 --> 01:47:56,307
Speaker 14: We are.

2148
01:47:57,947 --> 01:47:59,387
Speaker 3: What do you have to do to make that happen

2149
01:47:59,467 --> 01:48:03,347
Speaker 3: because at the moment, Sir Russell Cootch yesterday and today

2150
01:48:03,467 --> 01:48:05,987
Speaker 3: has said I think they're just trying to finalize a

2151
01:48:06,067 --> 01:48:09,307
Speaker 3: date for next year. Is there the possibility of coming

2152
01:48:09,387 --> 01:48:11,467
Speaker 3: up with a long term commitment.

2153
01:48:11,587 --> 01:48:14,827
Speaker 24: Yeah, we've been talking since the last one through till

2154
01:48:14,947 --> 01:48:18,667
Speaker 24: twenty nine. I think you mentioned that we've agreed most things.

2155
01:48:18,827 --> 01:48:22,627
Speaker 24: We are, but we need to make sure that the

2156
01:48:22,747 --> 01:48:25,547
Speaker 24: dates work. They work for them and they work for Auckland.

2157
01:48:25,827 --> 01:48:29,387
Speaker 24: We've got the Ocean Race we committed to over fifteen

2158
01:48:29,427 --> 01:48:34,747
Speaker 24: months ago, so that's a particular window where you know,

2159
01:48:34,827 --> 01:48:39,147
Speaker 24: you need to be able to honor those agreements and

2160
01:48:39,267 --> 01:48:41,307
Speaker 24: we need to find a way for them to come

2161
01:48:41,347 --> 01:48:41,867
Speaker 24: to Auckland.

2162
01:48:42,067 --> 01:48:44,387
Speaker 3: All right, So that's next year, so we can say, well,

2163
01:48:44,587 --> 01:48:46,787
Speaker 3: it's pretty close to being agreed, that'll be twenty seven,

2164
01:48:47,187 --> 01:48:48,947
Speaker 3: and then what about twenty eight, twenty nine, I mean

2165
01:48:49,027 --> 01:48:52,467
Speaker 3: thirty moving forward, what's the latest situation around that same.

2166
01:48:52,387 --> 01:48:55,787
Speaker 24: Thing where we're looking at an agreement that lasts through

2167
01:48:55,867 --> 01:49:00,507
Speaker 24: till twenty nine nine thirty sorry thirty, another three years.

2168
01:49:01,627 --> 01:49:05,147
Speaker 24: We also need the government to agree they share the

2169
01:49:05,227 --> 01:49:10,547
Speaker 24: funding obligation with us, so that part of that. But

2170
01:49:10,867 --> 01:49:13,987
Speaker 24: from an organ point of view, we're pretty much there.

2171
01:49:14,147 --> 01:49:15,787
Speaker 3: So you need central government to make it happen.

2172
01:49:16,147 --> 01:49:17,907
Speaker 8: We didn't say well yes they will.

2173
01:49:18,307 --> 01:49:21,227
Speaker 24: SOLGP need said central government to contribute their share of

2174
01:49:21,227 --> 01:49:21,627
Speaker 24: the funding.

2175
01:49:21,947 --> 01:49:25,587
Speaker 3: How competitive do you perceive the global race to host

2176
01:49:25,667 --> 01:49:26,627
Speaker 3: events like this to be?

2177
01:49:27,987 --> 01:49:30,147
Speaker 24: Oh, it's very competitive. I think we're seeing all around

2178
01:49:30,187 --> 01:49:34,187
Speaker 24: the world people want experiences. It's kind of the new

2179
01:49:34,307 --> 01:49:36,347
Speaker 24: status thing is actually what experiences do you have?

2180
01:49:36,467 --> 01:49:39,987
Speaker 8: What you've been to, what instant pictures, what merchandise are

2181
01:49:39,987 --> 01:49:40,427
Speaker 8: you buying?

2182
01:49:41,427 --> 01:49:48,587
Speaker 24: And that experience is increasingly important and these events like

2183
01:49:48,707 --> 01:49:52,947
Speaker 24: SOLGP modeled in lots of ways on f one. The

2184
01:49:53,307 --> 01:50:02,227
Speaker 24: commercial Innovation technology broadcast models are really sophisticated and really

2185
01:50:02,267 --> 01:50:04,347
Speaker 24: evolving all the time. And when these guys come to town.

2186
01:50:04,667 --> 01:50:09,747
Speaker 24: They lift the whole standard around event delivery, event experience

2187
01:50:09,827 --> 01:50:12,827
Speaker 24: to another level. There are another level these you know,

2188
01:50:12,907 --> 01:50:15,947
Speaker 24: I think they've had is it around twenty odd events

2189
01:50:15,987 --> 01:50:18,867
Speaker 24: a year. This is the fifth year. That's a huge

2190
01:50:18,907 --> 01:50:24,027
Speaker 24: amount of experience and that's reflected into the into the event.

2191
01:50:24,907 --> 01:50:28,547
Speaker 24: So yeah, we need to compete with other cities, other countries.

2192
01:50:29,307 --> 01:50:32,507
Speaker 24: The Australian is extremely good. They've led the way in

2193
01:50:32,587 --> 01:50:36,107
Speaker 24: many ways, but all around the world that that relationship

2194
01:50:36,187 --> 01:50:40,467
Speaker 24: between place and event is hugely important in helping to

2195
01:50:41,867 --> 01:50:43,867
Speaker 24: create a place that people want to come to, whether

2196
01:50:43,947 --> 01:50:46,547
Speaker 24: you live here or whether you're a visitor, or whether

2197
01:50:46,547 --> 01:50:47,427
Speaker 24: you want to do business here.

2198
01:50:47,987 --> 01:50:49,947
Speaker 3: Is I saw the mayor here yesterday. I see a fan.

2199
01:50:51,107 --> 01:50:51,987
Speaker 8: He's a fan.

2200
01:50:51,947 --> 01:50:54,867
Speaker 24: Of events, he's a fan of sale GPS, he's a

2201
01:50:54,947 --> 01:50:56,107
Speaker 24: fan of the work we do.

2202
01:50:57,267 --> 01:50:59,787
Speaker 3: I know, rate payer money you know, can be can

2203
01:50:59,867 --> 01:51:02,387
Speaker 3: be spent in any number of ways. How do you

2204
01:51:02,427 --> 01:51:05,067
Speaker 3: make sure that events are in that conversation and near

2205
01:51:05,107 --> 01:51:06,027
Speaker 3: the front of the queue.

2206
01:51:08,147 --> 01:51:11,547
Speaker 8: We do that all the time with the counselors and

2207
01:51:11,547 --> 01:51:12,267
Speaker 8: the politicians.

2208
01:51:12,627 --> 01:51:14,187
Speaker 24: They are in a bind and that they've got a

2209
01:51:14,267 --> 01:51:16,947
Speaker 24: limited budget and a whole lot of things that a

2210
01:51:16,987 --> 01:51:21,227
Speaker 24: lot of people will go This is basic like fixing

2211
01:51:21,347 --> 01:51:23,387
Speaker 24: roads and making sure the rubbish is collected.

2212
01:51:24,067 --> 01:51:25,387
Speaker 8: So you're you're always.

2213
01:51:25,267 --> 01:51:29,867
Speaker 24: Arguing about, well if we had more funding in the

2214
01:51:29,987 --> 01:51:33,147
Speaker 24: council budget, and you're fighting over whether or not you're

2215
01:51:33,147 --> 01:51:39,587
Speaker 24: fixing up a library somewhere versus putting on something like

2216
01:51:39,707 --> 01:51:43,107
Speaker 24: a like a major event. There's always an argument in

2217
01:51:43,147 --> 01:51:45,067
Speaker 24: a trade off, and you'll find this whole spectrum of

2218
01:51:45,107 --> 01:51:48,547
Speaker 24: politicians in terms of their views on that. But I

2219
01:51:48,627 --> 01:51:50,987
Speaker 24: think the answer is we need a sustainable funding model,

2220
01:51:51,707 --> 01:51:55,227
Speaker 24: one that you know, you have heard Wayne Brown on

2221
01:51:55,787 --> 01:52:00,147
Speaker 24: a visit to night Levy. Yep, he's absolutely right, completely agree.

2222
01:52:00,387 --> 01:52:04,427
Speaker 24: You need an economic model that is sustainable, that links

2223
01:52:04,547 --> 01:52:09,027
Speaker 24: the activity with where the funding is sourced. It needs

2224
01:52:09,067 --> 01:52:12,427
Speaker 24: to be quite a transparent fund that is hypothecated, which

2225
01:52:12,507 --> 01:52:16,627
Speaker 24: means tied to the use for events and marketing the city.

2226
01:52:16,787 --> 01:52:21,107
Speaker 24: So I think the answer is that, and you know,

2227
01:52:21,187 --> 01:52:27,147
Speaker 24: I think those those political discussions continue to play out,

2228
01:52:27,387 --> 01:52:29,387
Speaker 24: and you know, at some point hopefully we will get

2229
01:52:29,467 --> 01:52:29,987
Speaker 24: that result.

2230
01:52:30,147 --> 01:52:32,627
Speaker 3: Yeah, the bid tex seems obvious, doesn't it. What would

2231
01:52:32,667 --> 01:52:34,227
Speaker 3: have been a couple of three dollars on the on

2232
01:52:34,387 --> 01:52:37,347
Speaker 3: the top of the night's day hospitality industry can wear that,

2233
01:52:37,467 --> 01:52:37,747
Speaker 3: can they?

2234
01:52:38,227 --> 01:52:40,067
Speaker 24: Two and a half We've argued two and a half percent.

2235
01:52:40,267 --> 01:52:42,507
Speaker 24: They would give us close to thirty million in Auckland.

2236
01:52:44,587 --> 01:52:47,587
Speaker 24: That that I don't believe from the work that we've

2237
01:52:47,667 --> 01:52:51,107
Speaker 24: done that would change the demand it as an impost,

2238
01:52:52,947 --> 01:52:55,867
Speaker 24: but we think the market would talk that. And look,

2239
01:52:55,947 --> 01:52:59,307
Speaker 24: by and large, we have strong support from the accommodation sector,

2240
01:52:59,387 --> 01:53:03,347
Speaker 24: not us, but strong strong support for a model like

2241
01:53:03,467 --> 01:53:08,347
Speaker 24: this in some form as long as it's fair. And similarly,

2242
01:53:08,427 --> 01:53:11,787
Speaker 24: I think well hospitality would would hugely benefit.

2243
01:53:12,147 --> 01:53:14,267
Speaker 3: Of course, of course, well let's hope that we get

2244
01:53:14,307 --> 01:53:16,627
Speaker 3: some positive news moving forward. By the sounds of it,

2245
01:53:16,747 --> 01:53:19,067
Speaker 3: the next years one is almost done. We're just waiting

2246
01:53:19,107 --> 01:53:21,027
Speaker 3: to get dates and stuff like that. See there's an

2247
01:53:21,027 --> 01:53:23,547
Speaker 3: announcement of eating part tomorrow morning as well. Anything you

2248
01:53:23,587 --> 01:53:24,947
Speaker 3: can tell us in advance.

2249
01:53:25,827 --> 01:53:26,707
Speaker 8: No, I'm aware there is.

2250
01:53:27,387 --> 01:53:33,347
Speaker 3: That's all fair enough, fair enough, just to finish Nick, obviously,

2251
01:53:33,507 --> 01:53:36,507
Speaker 3: you deal in events. What is your vision as far

2252
01:53:36,627 --> 01:53:39,427
Speaker 3: as this part of the country is concerned, and it's

2253
01:53:39,587 --> 01:53:43,427
Speaker 3: and it's it's place in hosting big, big events.

2254
01:53:43,867 --> 01:53:45,227
Speaker 8: Look, I think we're at a.

2255
01:53:46,947 --> 01:53:51,787
Speaker 24: At the cusp of really going up another gear events

2256
01:53:52,107 --> 01:53:55,867
Speaker 24: and activations around the particularly around the city center and

2257
01:53:55,947 --> 01:53:59,147
Speaker 24: the harbor, bring people out. So our view is we

2258
01:53:59,227 --> 01:54:02,427
Speaker 24: want Auckland to be understood to be always on and

2259
01:54:02,467 --> 01:54:04,707
Speaker 24: there's an enormous amount of stuff happening all the time,

2260
01:54:04,827 --> 01:54:06,907
Speaker 24: so our job is ready to get that message out.

2261
01:54:07,467 --> 01:54:10,507
Speaker 24: Bring richness and events, a calendar of events that's driven

2262
01:54:10,547 --> 01:54:14,707
Speaker 24: by seasons, tied to the reputation of the place. We

2263
01:54:14,787 --> 01:54:17,827
Speaker 24: want Auklandness to be part of that, to be proud

2264
01:54:17,867 --> 01:54:21,387
Speaker 24: of it. But we've got all the ingredients here to

2265
01:54:21,507 --> 01:54:25,987
Speaker 24: be a truly world class city for events and.

2266
01:54:28,027 --> 01:54:29,067
Speaker 8: We're well on the way.

2267
01:54:29,787 --> 01:54:31,227
Speaker 3: Great to see you, Nick, Thanks to stop again.

2268
01:54:31,467 --> 01:54:33,107

2274
01:54:48,307 --> 01:54:50,387

2275
01:54:50,587 --> 01:54:53,907
Speaker 3: Last time we spoke, Steve, the two Korean players had

2276
01:54:53,947 --> 01:54:56,587
Speaker 3: cleared out from the rest. What's the situation as they

2277
01:54:56,627 --> 01:54:59,867
Speaker 3: head down the back nine and even the final few holes.

2278
01:55:01,187 --> 01:55:03,827
Speaker 11: Yeah, listen there just finishing out the thirty e toll now,

2279
01:55:03,987 --> 01:55:07,907

01:55:07,987 --> 01:55:10,867
Speaker 11: thirding and minus eleven respectfully, as you say, they've cleared

01:55:10,867 --> 01:55:13,867
Speaker 11: out a little from real Meluckey for Malaysia who's minus

2282
01:55:13,947 --> 01:55:17,747
Speaker 11: seven and the girl from Australia Jersey Roberts, who's best

2283
01:55:17,827 --> 01:55:19,787
Speaker 11: on course at the moment minus two, but that's moved

2284
01:55:19,907 --> 01:55:22,147
Speaker 11: up to minus six, so it's some might have a

2285
01:55:22,187 --> 01:55:25,667
Speaker 11: two horse race, but it's already fifty k's gassing one

2286
01:55:25,747 --> 01:55:30,467
Speaker 11: hundred and Wellington's coming, so it's going to be interesting

2287
01:55:30,907 --> 01:55:33,267
Speaker 11: those that two shots between the two of them. I'm

2288
01:55:33,307 --> 01:55:35,747
Speaker 11: sure that will change. And in the key, Wes Starry

2289
01:55:35,787 --> 01:55:38,307
Speaker 11: Tongue's finished out at the best key at the moment

2290
01:55:38,307 --> 01:55:41,107
Speaker 11: at plus five and so Toy's got one hole to go,

2291
01:55:41,267 --> 01:55:44,187
Speaker 11: she's also plus five. The tough Knights to play playing

2292
01:55:44,387 --> 01:55:46,827
Speaker 11: north of four hundred meters to the Andrette Southerly and

2293
01:55:47,267 --> 01:55:49,787
Speaker 11: young Alise Barber's finished out pretty tough last round, but

2294
01:55:50,267 --> 01:55:53,147
Speaker 11: incredible week, tied forty seventh in a tournament she only

2295
01:55:53,187 --> 01:55:55,587
Speaker 11: had an invite to a week ago, so she can

2296
01:55:55,667 --> 01:55:58,027
Speaker 11: be well pleased with her work and that will give

2297
01:55:58,067 --> 01:55:58,987
Speaker 11: all ranking points.

2298
01:55:59,547 --> 01:56:01,747
Speaker 3: Wonderful stuff. Just before you go, Steve, I mean the

2299
01:56:01,787 --> 01:56:04,507
Speaker 3: big chart here obviously is the winner of the tournament

2300
01:56:04,547 --> 01:56:08,467
Speaker 3: get you entry into three the women's Majors. So it's

2301
01:56:08,507 --> 01:56:09,627
Speaker 3: well worth winning, isn't it.

2302
01:56:10,267 --> 01:56:13,987
Speaker 11: Yeah, huge steaks And where that the forty fourth and

2303
01:56:14,067 --> 01:56:18,147
Speaker 11: the tenth rank player respectively that well aware of what's

2304
01:56:18,227 --> 01:56:19,827
Speaker 11: on the line, so that they have a play too,

2305
01:56:19,907 --> 01:56:22,267
Speaker 11: as they can see those trophies in the distance up

2306
01:56:22,307 --> 01:56:24,507
Speaker 11: on the terrace at Royal Wellington, and there are many

2307
01:56:24,547 --> 01:56:26,907
Speaker 11: other invites that come in behind that an opportunity.

2308
01:56:27,027 --> 01:56:28,907

01:57:15,707 --> 01:57:20,067
Speaker 18: to the wire, really willing contests and you know all

2327
01:57:20,467 --> 01:57:24,347
Speaker 18: teams lived with the hammer and tongs over there, and

2328
01:57:25,227 --> 01:57:28,507
Speaker 18: some some really impressive performances from the war Retors and

2329
01:57:28,547 --> 01:57:31,907
Speaker 18: the Brumbies in Australia and then MP you know, continued

2330
01:57:31,947 --> 01:57:34,987
Speaker 18: on their great form from last year with a with

2331
01:57:35,147 --> 01:57:38,427
Speaker 18: a with a big win and a tough against that

2333
01:57:41,587 --> 01:57:43,907
Speaker 18: the biscuits. So yeah, and some really great stuff.

2334
01:57:44,667 --> 01:57:46,947
Speaker 3: How important was it to you? Is it to you

2335
01:57:47,107 --> 01:57:49,747
Speaker 3: that that the first round is nice and strong to

2336
01:57:49,827 --> 01:57:51,787
Speaker 3: set the tone for the competition.

2337
01:57:53,187 --> 01:57:55,627
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean that's what you hope for, and you know,

2338
01:57:55,987 --> 01:57:58,907
Speaker 18: to kick it off on Friday night with with such

2339
01:57:58,907 --> 01:58:02,387
Speaker 18: a great game down in Dunedin and the Highlanders upsetting

2340
01:58:02,387 --> 01:58:05,907
Speaker 18: the Crusaders. You know they have now champions from last year.

2341
01:58:06,787 --> 01:58:11,907
Speaker 18: You get beaten by the guys who finished eleventh last year.

2342
01:58:11,987 --> 01:58:14,427
Speaker 18: Was a really good start. Yeah, and it helps momentum

2343
01:58:14,507 --> 01:58:17,227
Speaker 18: and crowds have been looking pretty good. We haven't done

2344
01:58:17,227 --> 01:58:19,947
Speaker 18: a full wash up obviously, it's still pretty fresh, but yeah,

2345
01:58:19,947 --> 01:58:22,667
Speaker 18: I think it's really really important to get a fast start,

2346
01:58:22,707 --> 01:58:23,747
Speaker 18: and I think it looks.

2347
01:58:23,587 --> 01:58:25,587
Speaker 3: Like we've got that now. There was rumors that you

2348
01:58:25,667 --> 01:58:27,667
Speaker 3: were going to be in the Zoo for some or

2349
01:58:27,707 --> 01:58:30,987
Speaker 3: all of Friday night's action and Danedan, can you confirm

2350
01:58:31,067 --> 01:58:33,547
Speaker 3: that we had a quick look.

2351
01:58:33,587 --> 01:58:36,707
Speaker 18: I know Kevin mlloy sat down there this year, which

2352
01:58:36,827 --> 01:58:38,747
Speaker 18: was good. I was with Kevin down there, so our

2353
01:58:38,787 --> 01:58:43,267
Speaker 18: chairman was down checking out the Zoo. And then last night, yeah,

2354
01:58:43,307 --> 01:58:46,707
Speaker 18: I was in the new student section down at Eden

2355
01:58:46,827 --> 01:58:50,147
Speaker 18: Park and yeah, great to see some of the initiatives

2356
01:58:50,187 --> 01:58:53,067
Speaker 18: the clubs are putting in play to make the stadium

2357
01:58:53,147 --> 01:58:54,747
Speaker 18: experience great. I don't know if you saw it, but

2358
01:58:54,867 --> 01:58:57,547
Speaker 18: there was a there was a spa bath and a

2359
01:58:57,747 --> 01:59:01,387
Speaker 18: DJ going in this new student's corner at Eden Park,

2360
01:59:01,387 --> 01:59:03,587
Speaker 18: which was really well attended. Actually it was a fantastic

2361
01:59:03,627 --> 01:59:04,107
Speaker 18: to see.

2362
01:59:04,187 --> 01:59:05,747
Speaker 3: Only to said the funt of evidence of you and

2363
01:59:05,787 --> 01:59:06,067
Speaker 3: the SPA.

2364
01:59:06,387 --> 01:59:08,587
Speaker 18: If there is any well I did warn people I

2365
01:59:08,667 --> 01:59:10,027
Speaker 18: might have to bring my budgets mugglers.

2366
01:59:13,187 --> 01:59:15,467
Speaker 3: Well let's move quickly on the law tweets we talked

2367
01:59:15,467 --> 01:59:18,947
Speaker 3: about last week aimed at speeding the game up. Did

2368
01:59:19,067 --> 01:59:20,987
Speaker 3: you see what you wanted to see from them and

2369
01:59:21,267 --> 01:59:21,827
Speaker 3: weekend one?

2370
01:59:23,107 --> 01:59:25,547
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think so. You know, I think there was.

2371
01:59:26,347 --> 01:59:29,467
Speaker 18: The really positive thing is that those changes, you know,

2372
01:59:29,547 --> 01:59:31,707
Speaker 18: they brought about some of the consequences we wanted and

2373
01:59:32,147 --> 01:59:35,547
Speaker 18: they didn't seem to be any unintended consequences, which is

2374
01:59:35,587 --> 01:59:38,067
Speaker 18: always always what we're looking out for. So that was

2375
01:59:38,147 --> 01:59:39,227
Speaker 18: good clearly.

2376
01:59:39,267 --> 01:59:39,867
Speaker 2: Around one.

2377
01:59:40,547 --> 01:59:43,507
Speaker 18: You know, there's always there's always a bit of you know,

2378
01:59:44,187 --> 01:59:46,947
Speaker 18: a bit of the teams finding their feet. So I'm

2379
01:59:46,987 --> 01:59:49,707
Speaker 18: sure sure things will continue to improve as we go.

2380
01:59:49,907 --> 01:59:52,787
Speaker 18: But yeah, again we'll do. I know all of the

2381
01:59:52,987 --> 01:59:55,227
Speaker 18: match officials are doing their reviews as we speak, and

2382
01:59:55,827 --> 01:59:58,587
Speaker 18: and we'll sit down and have that full review.

2383
01:59:58,667 --> 02:00:01,587
Speaker 3: To my I think the hallmark of any good competition

2384
02:00:01,707 --> 02:00:04,107
Speaker 3: and any sport probably is a bit of jeopardy, a

2385
02:00:04,187 --> 02:00:07,307
Speaker 3: bit of unpredictability, and look I would to fight anybody

2386
02:00:07,827 --> 02:00:10,907
Speaker 3: to have pecked all five winners across the weekend. Is

2387
02:00:10,947 --> 02:00:14,147
Speaker 3: that kind of what you're after week on week Absolutely?

2388
02:00:14,947 --> 02:00:15,507
Speaker 16: Yeah, So.

2389
02:00:17,027 --> 02:00:19,667
Speaker 18: Sorry about the background noise there, mate, I'm just in

2390
02:00:19,747 --> 02:00:23,467
Speaker 18: a taxi. Yeah, that's absolutely what we want. I think,

2391
02:00:23,467 --> 02:00:25,187
Speaker 18: as you and I have spoken before, you know, we

2392
02:00:25,307 --> 02:00:28,227
Speaker 18: want super rugby fans, every super rugby fan from all

2393
02:00:28,267 --> 02:00:31,667
Speaker 18: eleven teams going into a weekend thinking they've got a chance.

2394
02:00:31,787 --> 02:00:34,227
Speaker 18: And yeah, I mean they have had quite a few

2395
02:00:34,307 --> 02:00:37,427
Speaker 18: unexpected results. This weekend certainly delivered on that and it's

2396
02:00:37,507 --> 02:00:39,907
Speaker 18: it's really important and you know, I think it just

2397
02:00:39,987 --> 02:00:43,267
Speaker 18: goes shay. The competition is really close. And you know,

2398
02:00:43,387 --> 02:00:46,307
Speaker 18: whilst I mentioned the Highland is getting over the Crusaders

2399
02:00:46,307 --> 02:00:48,947
Speaker 18: and the Highland is finishing last last year there was

2400
02:00:49,027 --> 02:00:51,307
Speaker 18: not much in that. I mean, they must have had

2401
02:00:51,347 --> 02:00:53,747
Speaker 18: about six games that could have gone either way last

2402
02:00:53,827 --> 02:00:56,907
Speaker 18: year and you know, great to see them come out

2403
02:00:56,947 --> 02:00:59,387
Speaker 18: and put that performance on the board. So yeah, it's

2404
02:00:59,427 --> 02:01:02,227
Speaker 18: really important for us. And you know, the teams are

2405
02:01:02,267 --> 02:01:05,987
Speaker 18: certainly all teams are certainly getting better, mixing up with

2406
02:01:06,107 --> 02:01:07,867
Speaker 18: the that have traditionally been at the top of the

2407
02:01:08,067 --> 02:01:08,707
Speaker 18: top of the ladder.

2408
02:01:09,307 --> 02:01:11,547
Speaker 3: So around one of the books now all done, what

2409
02:01:11,707 --> 02:01:15,147
Speaker 3: are your key priorities for the competition over the next

2410
02:01:15,147 --> 02:01:15,587
Speaker 3: few weeks.

2411
02:01:17,227 --> 02:01:19,187
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think there's always things that you iron out,

2412
02:01:19,267 --> 02:01:21,027
Speaker 18: you know, I think, you know, some of the systems

2413
02:01:21,067 --> 02:01:23,867
Speaker 18: and processes are a little rusty, so we'll look to

2414
02:01:23,947 --> 02:01:27,587
Speaker 18: make sure all of the little things get sorted out

2415
02:01:27,667 --> 02:01:30,307
Speaker 18: and we try to make the operation of everything as

2416
02:01:30,347 --> 02:01:35,067
Speaker 18: smooth as possible. And you know, coming into you know,

2417
02:01:35,147 --> 02:01:37,307
Speaker 18: we've got Club Rugby Round, which is the first time

2418
02:01:37,347 --> 02:01:39,627
Speaker 18: we've run that execution. We're really looking forward to that.

2419
02:01:40,107 --> 02:01:43,707
Speaker 18: We're really looking forward to connecting with the community game

2420
02:01:44,267 --> 02:01:48,507
Speaker 18: and to help drive registrations into the new community season.

2421
02:01:48,627 --> 02:01:52,627
Speaker 18: So yeah, we're certainly focused on driving that over the

2422
02:01:52,707 --> 02:01:53,747
Speaker 18: next couple of weeks as well.

2423
02:01:54,267 --> 02:01:55,667
Speaker 3: Obviously on the side of the Tas when most of

2424
02:01:55,707 --> 02:01:57,627
Speaker 3: our Christa's and the New Zealand teams, But from a

2425
02:01:57,667 --> 02:02:00,707
Speaker 3: wider competition point of view, what Tas looked right, didn't they?

2426
02:02:01,107 --> 02:02:03,347
Speaker 3: You know outside the playoff spots last year? Are you

2427
02:02:03,747 --> 02:02:05,227
Speaker 3: you're looking at them as a bit of a smoky

2428
02:02:05,267 --> 02:02:06,307
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six.

2429
02:02:07,187 --> 02:02:08,147
Speaker 12: Yeah, there's no doubt.

2430
02:02:08,187 --> 02:02:12,387
Speaker 18: I think they've certainly improved year on year and Dan

2431
02:02:12,507 --> 02:02:16,987
Speaker 18: mckeller's obviously, for fingerprints are more firmly imprinted on the

2432
02:02:17,027 --> 02:02:21,027
Speaker 18: wartars and the whole sort of set up there at

2433
02:02:21,067 --> 02:02:23,667
Speaker 18: the Warrtars is getting a Dann mckeller field to it.

2434
02:02:23,707 --> 02:02:26,027
Speaker 18: You can just hear it in the language the team's

2435
02:02:26,187 --> 02:02:28,827
Speaker 18: using and you can see the bonds they've created in

2436
02:02:28,827 --> 02:02:31,227
Speaker 18: the off season. So you know, it's important we have
