1
00:00:06,707 --> 00:00:10,467
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine

2
00:00:10,747 --> 00:00:16,187
Speaker 1: from Newstalgs EDB. It's more than just a game. Weekend

3
00:00:16,267 --> 00:00:20,627
Speaker 1: Sport with Jason Vine and GJ. Gardnerholmes, New Zealand's most

4
00:00:20,667 --> 00:00:22,507
Speaker 1: trusted home builder news Dogs.

5
00:00:22,347 --> 00:00:26,267
Speaker 2: EDB fourteen away from three John on Texas, Jason, I've

6
00:00:26,307 --> 00:00:28,227
Speaker 2: only been listening for some of the show, but since

7
00:00:28,267 --> 00:00:30,507
Speaker 2: the All Black squad was named, I've heard nothing about

8
00:00:30,547 --> 00:00:33,747
Speaker 2: the non selection of Sam Kain. He said it was available,

9
00:00:33,827 --> 00:00:34,627
Speaker 2: just not as captain.

10
00:00:34,907 --> 00:00:35,107
Speaker 3: Yeah.

11
00:00:35,107 --> 00:00:36,907
Speaker 2: I think the problem John with Sam Kain was that

12
00:00:36,947 --> 00:00:39,027
Speaker 2: he's had no rugby. He picked up that injury early

13
00:00:39,067 --> 00:00:42,227
Speaker 2: in the Japanese season and hadn't had any rugby at

14
00:00:42,267 --> 00:00:45,667
Speaker 2: all really from which he could be considered for selection.

15
00:00:45,827 --> 00:00:48,107
Speaker 2: But I can tell you he was at the official

16
00:00:48,187 --> 00:00:50,987
Speaker 2: launch on Wednesday. He's attached to the All Blacks team

17
00:00:50,987 --> 00:00:53,507
Speaker 2: at the moment, as are a couple of others. They

18
00:00:53,627 --> 00:00:56,947
Speaker 2: named the thirty two man squad plus four training partners,

19
00:00:56,987 --> 00:00:59,027
Speaker 2: but there are others there as well. Sam Kaine is

20
00:00:59,027 --> 00:01:02,467
Speaker 2: one of them. Will Jordan is another. So I think

21
00:01:02,507 --> 00:01:05,867
Speaker 2: you will see Sam Kain in an official capacity in

22
00:01:05,907 --> 00:01:08,507
Speaker 2: an All Black squad at some stage this season, but

23
00:01:08,547 --> 00:01:11,147
Speaker 2: he's not among the official thirty two for the upcoming

24
00:01:11,147 --> 00:01:15,227
Speaker 2: Test matches against England and Fiji. One man who is, though,

25
00:01:15,547 --> 00:01:18,827
Speaker 2: is one of the new Caps Hurricanes midfielder Billy Proctor.

26
00:01:19,227 --> 00:01:21,427
Speaker 2: I spoke with Billy Proctor at the All Black season

27
00:01:21,467 --> 00:01:23,547
Speaker 2: laun John Wednesday to find out how he was feeling

28
00:01:23,587 --> 00:01:26,667
Speaker 2: about his first ever All Blacks call up Billy Proctor

29
00:01:26,667 --> 00:01:27,067
Speaker 2: All Black.

30
00:01:27,667 --> 00:01:29,587
Speaker 3: Well almost, how does that sound, mate?

31
00:01:30,227 --> 00:01:33,187
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty cool, you know, to be named in

32
00:01:33,227 --> 00:01:35,947
Speaker 4: the squad. You know, it's the work to do. But

33
00:01:36,347 --> 00:01:38,587
Speaker 4: over the past few days being able to process it,

34
00:01:39,987 --> 00:01:42,067
Speaker 4: you know, I've had a you know, signs of effect.

35
00:01:42,107 --> 00:01:44,067
Speaker 4: Then yeah, as I said, processor and you know, it's

36
00:01:44,107 --> 00:01:48,587
Speaker 4: been awesome, awesome to see you know that we're paying

37
00:01:48,587 --> 00:01:52,827
Speaker 4: off and I guess being yeah, pictor b Ben the

38
00:01:52,827 --> 00:01:54,547
Speaker 4: squad is, Yes, something pretty awesome.

39
00:01:55,107 --> 00:01:56,547
Speaker 3: So nuts and bolts. How to find out?

40
00:01:57,307 --> 00:01:59,867
Speaker 4: It was just at home watching it on TV with

41
00:02:00,707 --> 00:02:05,667
Speaker 4: my whole family, my partner, parents and brothers, and yeah,

42
00:02:05,747 --> 00:02:08,787
Speaker 4: just just waited to the so let's started naming the

43
00:02:08,867 --> 00:02:13,307
Speaker 4: names and obviously mine mine got read out and there's

44
00:02:13,307 --> 00:02:15,867
Speaker 4: a few cheers going on in the household and it's

45
00:02:15,907 --> 00:02:18,827
Speaker 4: a pretty special way of finding out instead of like

46
00:02:18,907 --> 00:02:21,467
Speaker 4: a phone call. It's pretty cool just not knowing and

47
00:02:21,627 --> 00:02:23,947
Speaker 4: waiting and hearing it on TV.

48
00:02:25,147 --> 00:02:25,627
Speaker 3: Very cool.

49
00:02:25,787 --> 00:02:27,787
Speaker 2: I spoke to Jason Holland on the radio the other

50
00:02:27,827 --> 00:02:29,387
Speaker 2: day and he said, you just kept on banging on

51
00:02:29,427 --> 00:02:31,707
Speaker 2: the door the reason that you got chosen. You just

52
00:02:31,787 --> 00:02:34,307
Speaker 2: kept on banging on that door. Did you feel like

53
00:02:34,347 --> 00:02:35,027
Speaker 2: you were in the frame?

54
00:02:36,507 --> 00:02:36,667
Speaker 1: Ah?

55
00:02:38,067 --> 00:02:40,067
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't think too much about about the All

56
00:02:40,067 --> 00:02:41,627
Speaker 4: Blacks during the season. You know. I was just trying

57
00:02:41,627 --> 00:02:44,187
Speaker 4: to do my part for the Hurricanes, trying to play

58
00:02:44,187 --> 00:02:46,747
Speaker 4: the best I can, and yeah, do my part for

59
00:02:47,427 --> 00:02:50,507
Speaker 4: the Hurricanes. Just trying to get bit each week, and yeah,

60
00:02:50,507 --> 00:02:53,747
Speaker 4: improve my game and get better. So yeah, that was

61
00:02:54,227 --> 00:02:56,067
Speaker 4: that was I guess my focus. And it's pretty cool

62
00:02:56,227 --> 00:02:58,307
Speaker 4: to be here now and this team. Yeah.

63
00:02:58,347 --> 00:02:59,987
Speaker 2: What's it like now that you you've had the task

64
00:02:59,987 --> 00:03:01,507
Speaker 2: to process that the team got read out. As you're

65
00:03:01,507 --> 00:03:03,827
Speaker 2: say on the TV on Monday, what are we now Wednesday?

66
00:03:03,827 --> 00:03:05,867
Speaker 2: You've had forty eight hours or so. You're in the environment.

67
00:03:05,867 --> 00:03:08,147

68
00:03:08,227 --> 00:03:09,827
Speaker 2: Now what what what's about to unfold?

69
00:03:10,347 --> 00:03:12,427
Speaker 4: Yeah? I guess so, you know, I had the few

70
00:03:12,507 --> 00:03:16,227
Speaker 4: days to process it, and you know, I don't quite

71
00:03:16,307 --> 00:03:18,147
Speaker 4: realize that how big of the elders, and so you

72
00:03:18,147 --> 00:03:21,587
Speaker 4: see all the messages coming and I guess you see

73
00:03:21,587 --> 00:03:23,627

00:03:30,187 --> 00:03:32,627
Speaker 4: still grubbing shoulders of every run and U you know,

77
00:03:32,667 --> 00:03:35,507
Speaker 4: connecting with everyone. But I'm sure over the next few days,

79
00:03:38,307 --> 00:03:40,027
Speaker 4: the full experience of what it's like to be in

80
00:03:40,067 --> 00:03:44,187

109
00:04:55,107 --> 00:04:57,227
Speaker 2: I mean, how old was Billy Proctor when he first

110
00:04:57,587 --> 00:05:00,227
Speaker 2: started thinking about we're in the all black jersey.

111
00:05:01,227 --> 00:05:03,427
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if he started thinking about wearing

112
00:05:03,427 --> 00:05:05,027
Speaker 4: the all black jersey, but you know, he's always been

113
00:05:05,067 --> 00:05:06,907
Speaker 4: a team that you look up to ever since a

114
00:05:06,947 --> 00:05:09,307
Speaker 4: young boy. And you know, I've been playing rugby since

115
00:05:09,307 --> 00:05:12,587

119
00:05:23,027 --> 00:05:25,227
