1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Morning, there's boat good, hey Luke, and to quarter final

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: time for NPC. Canterbury hosting Counties on Sunday two pm.

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: Finished the regular season top of the table, just one

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: point clear of Otago, who are hosting Waikato. Where have

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: you got your eyes?

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 2: Oh boy? It's it's a good weekend, isn't it. I

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: think it starts tonight Otago against Waikato. Look, Otago been

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: a replation this year. They really have. They've been fantastic

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: and I think probably even though Waikato I believe they've

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: got three all blacks back in their ranks, it sometimes

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: doesn't improve because these are guys who come and go

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: a wee bit and the continuity of the team dynamic,

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: if you like, is kind of upset. So look, I

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: think Otago will probably get through that. Ketterbury Cavies. We

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: Cavees have really come back well since the start of

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: the season. I think they lost their first four or

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: five in a row and suddenly they find themselves in

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So I'd be wary if I was Canterbury,

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: but they should have too many guns. The other two

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: games are pretty hard to pick as well. They have

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: plenty hosting Tasman. Tasman I think had been a little

22
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: bit disappointing, but they've made it. But they have to go,

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: of course to may A Plenty territory and that's going

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: to be tough. Bay Plenty made the final last year.

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: And the other one is Hawks Bay Tananaki another really

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: good game and Hawks Day with the home and vavage

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: So hard to pick all games, to be honest.

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: Incredible that defending champs the Wellington Lions and Auckland both

29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: out and Canterbury chasing their first title since twenty seventeen.

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: So certainly wishing the local leads luck and then something

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: to sort of snuck up on me. To be fair, Nisbo,

32
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you anything about the supercars through any

33
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: other point of the season, but by the end of

34
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Sunday I'll be a pseudo expert. I love jumping on

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: the bandwagon for the great race. Bring on one hundred

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: and sixty one laps around Mount Panorama.

37
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, they've been trapped practicing already. Thursday they had

38
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: a couple of practice runs. Nothing much to report there,

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: but I think from New Zealand's point of view, some

40
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: real interest here. Ryan Wood was one of the fastest

41
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: drivers around the circuit yesterday. He's a new Zealander, another

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: guy called Matt Paine. These guys are sort of new

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: boys on the block. But see they're making an impression.

44
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: And he's another key we and his car has been

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 2: going well all season. I'm a little bit like you.

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't follow it that closely, but when it comes

47
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: to the Great Race, I'm pretty.

48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: Keen Freeze as Doctor's mate and looking forward to clearing

49
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: the schedule for that. Although are you going to be

50
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: able to watch most of it?

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: Do?

52
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: I hear that you're on the move to go and

53
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: chase some white bait this weekend this weak.

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, mate, Yes, I'll be down on the West coast,

55
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: so I might not see a lot of it, particularly

56
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: if the beta running. I'm just a wee bit worried

57
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: about the weather forecast. I've got to be honest, because

58
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: anyone who does white baiting knows that you need clear rivers.

59
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: You don't need clear rivers if you've got bad weather.

60
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: So just got fingers crossed
