1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Matt Markham morning, Good morning, Luke.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 2: How are we?

3
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: You're good you Internet sale GP.

4
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,239
Speaker 2: I have been watching Evan Sports then watch pretty much

5
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 2: in the sport that I can find on the television.

6
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: It was certainly interesting viewing over the course of the weekend,

7
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: that's for sure.

8
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: Not so much for the racing yourself. But one heck

9
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: of a crash that's can we grinder? Lewis s and

10
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: clear hospitalized where he broke both legs and the bone

11
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: was piercing through the skin apparently out not.

12
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: Something you'd expect from sailing. I mean, you see the

13
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: odds smash, but never anything quite as bad as what

14
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: we saw there on the weekend, and obviously not a

15
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: great result for the Kiwi team. But yeah, just probably

16
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: shows that there are some dangers involved with the sport.

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 2: And I said, they've made some changes to around how

18
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: many fleets are out on the water at any given time,

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: and at the moment it's going to be six going forward,

20
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: and then they'll look to move it to eight and

21
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: eventually get to ten at a time. So that might

22
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: just limit the chances of incidence like we saw on

23
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: the weekend happening. And I guess safety at the end

24
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: of the day's paramount isn't it did?

25
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: See? It did seem like a lot of boats out there,

26
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: although I guess there adds to the thrill of it too.

27
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: So you've got to balance that it's going to be

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: costly apparently for sale GP because Team New Zealand's not

29
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: privately run or something like that. Do you know how

30
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: it works?

31
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,279
Speaker 2: No, I'm not one hundred percent over here it works,

32
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: but I'm picking given the price and the cost of

33
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: some of those boats, that that alone would not be

34
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: cheap to remedy any issues that we might have. And yeah,

35
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see what it means for the

36
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: sport going forward. Sir Russell Cooks was obviously on the

37
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: news last night talking about the changes that they look

38
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 2: to implement going forward and ways to better the sport.

39
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: And yeah, I mengine there'll be a bit of paperwork

40
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: that needs to be shuffled in the coming days.

41
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: Maybe you give a little page to pay for it

42
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: all too super we got underway for our Crusaders down

43
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: into Neden Friday nights. The Highlanders snucker when or cam

44
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: Miller snuck when we had eleven all blacks involved here

45
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: there was plenty of blood. It was pretty physical. It

46
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: was a great Southern derby, but we just couldn't get

47
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: the job done.

48
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: I'll call them your Crusaders because I'm a Highlanders by

49
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: LUPI you we'll established. We'll establish them very early on.

50
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: I've even got the Crusader's shirt on. I've gone and

51
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: spilled porridge and yoget down the front of it. So

52
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: it's not the strongest start of the day, but yeah, loyalty,

53
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: it sounds a.

54
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: Bit like the Crusaders start. They stilled a look. Yeah.

55
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: One thing that we probably can take out of the

56
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: opening weekend of Super Rugby is that it can only

57
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: get more exciting, because some parts of those matches over

58
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: the weekend were rather dull to the eye to watch,

59
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: but there were glimpses of what we could be in

60
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: store for as the season progresses. Look from a Crusader's

61
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 2: point of view, I think they'll be just happy to

62
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: get that run on the park under the belt. They've

63
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: got a few key players to come back in. I

64
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: think they played a lot better when will Jordan come

65
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: on late in the match. Those sort of players make

66
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: the big difference. At the Highlanders, they haven't got the

67
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: classiest roster, but boy, they play with a lot of

68
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: heart and a lot of Attecker, especially when you get

69
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 2: them under the roof down there. Indeed, and then to me,

70
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: they deserve that win. And I'm not saying that as

71
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: a Highlander supporter. I thought they were better across the

72
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: entire eighty minutes and they took their opportunity as well,

73
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: and that won't be the last upset when they have

74
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: this season. They're going to go pretty well this year.

75
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: I think the Highlander is so the Crusaders can only

76
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: improve and they will improve as they do each and

77
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: every year, where they're generally reasonably a bit slow out

78
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: of the block, so I guess you could say through

79
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: the first couple of weeks. So if you're a Crusaders

80
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: then don't get too desponded because it could be return

81
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: to normalcy next weekend.

82
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: And super quot. You've got some league news hold of

83
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: the press.

84
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, breaking news this morning that twenty twenty seven, one

85
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: of the greatest sporting events in the world state of

86
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: origin is coming to New Zealand.

87
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: It's actually happening.

88
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: In Queensland, the New South. I didn't think it worked

89
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: Eden Park, how goods looking forward to it. Fifty thousand people,

90
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: they're expecting a heap of people to travel from overseas,

91
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: so good for the New Zealand economy, particularly Auckland. I

92
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: know Mayor Wayne Brown will be smiling for me to

93
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: wear about it. So a lot of talk about it

94
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: over the years, but to see it finally come to

95
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: fruition will be fantastic and they'll be just interesting to

96
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: see how it goes and whether it's a test case

97
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: for state of origin maybe going global in the future.

98
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: Well interesting, you've established yourself as a Blue rugby supporter.

99
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: What about the state of Maroons or Blues?

100
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: No stick with the Blue form infinitely. New South Wales

101
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: have been for a very long time. It's been tough.

102
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: There a lot of points through the last twenty five

103
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: to thirty years that I've been keenly watching. But yeah,

104
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 2: always always Blues baby,
