00:05:23,027 --> 00:05:26,307
Speaker 2: but thirty six unanswered points in the middle were key

93

Speaker 2: to their victory. Crusader's head coach Rob Pennies with us

00:05:31,867 --> 00:05:33,707
Speaker 2: How do you sum up a night where you're fourteen

96
00:05:33,827 --> 00:05:36,867
Speaker 2: nil and twenty one seven down but then end up

97
00:05:36,907 --> 00:05:38,907
Speaker 2: putting forty on the Chiefs.

98
00:05:39,987 --> 00:05:45,067
Speaker 7: It was a really proud moment. I guess we up

99
00:05:45,067 --> 00:05:47,547
Speaker 7: against the great chief Side, who you know, are always

100
00:05:47,587 --> 00:05:50,947
Speaker 7: difficult up here and to be you know, as you say,

101
00:05:50,987 --> 00:05:54,547
Speaker 7: those that many points down, but we always had faith

102
00:05:54,787 --> 00:05:59,547
Speaker 7: we've got a capable group and they managed to string

103
00:05:59,707 --> 00:06:02,907
Speaker 7: some pressure moments together, which has been a bit of

104
00:06:02,947 --> 00:06:05,387
Speaker 7: a sore point for us in the first three weeks

105
00:06:05,387 --> 00:06:09,827
Speaker 7: of the camp. And on the back of those, we've

106
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:13,827
Speaker 7: got a real we've got to run and shut them out.

107
00:06:13,867 --> 00:06:14,467
Speaker 8: And it was.

108
00:06:15,907 --> 00:06:17,987
Speaker 7: A fine performance by a lot of men across the

109
00:06:17,987 --> 00:06:21,267
Speaker 7: park and they should be really really proud of their performances,

110
00:06:21,267 --> 00:06:24,547
Speaker 7: and I hope people are too, because, as I said,

111
00:06:24,587 --> 00:06:27,387
Speaker 7: it was a really good, strong Chief side and tough

112
00:06:27,427 --> 00:06:29,867
Speaker 7: to went up here and to do it in that

113
00:06:29,947 --> 00:06:32,027
Speaker 7: manner was Yeah, it was a bit special.

114
00:06:32,107 --> 00:06:32,307
Speaker 9: Yeah.

115
00:06:32,307 --> 00:06:33,747
Speaker 2: I want to talk about a couple of those players

116
00:06:33,747 --> 00:06:36,267
Speaker 2: specifically in a moment. But when you are fourteen kneeled

117
00:06:36,307 --> 00:06:38,267
Speaker 2: down and you know they've gone in to end to score,

118
00:06:38,707 --> 00:06:41,707
Speaker 2: you know, a pretty thrilling try. Did you sense any

119
00:06:41,747 --> 00:06:45,027
Speaker 2: panic at that stage or was there a calm belief

120
00:06:45,107 --> 00:06:47,347
Speaker 2: still amongst the coaching staff and from what you could

121
00:06:47,347 --> 00:06:51,187
Speaker 2: see down on the grass, Yeah.

122
00:06:50,507 --> 00:06:54,187
Speaker 8: The coach's box is pretty good. You know. We all

123
00:06:54,187 --> 00:06:54,747
Speaker 8: we do is as.

124
00:06:54,707 --> 00:06:58,187
Speaker 7: Sister boys to get the plan in place, and you know,

125
00:06:58,267 --> 00:07:03,827
Speaker 7: between us we work out the strategy and we rather

126
00:07:03,867 --> 00:07:05,947
Speaker 7: than sending messages down often we get the boys on

127
00:07:05,987 --> 00:07:08,467
Speaker 7: the ground to report back what the boys were talking about.

128
00:07:08,507 --> 00:07:09,667
Speaker 8: And they were.

129
00:07:09,547 --> 00:07:11,987
Speaker 7: All saying the right things, and so we had a

130
00:07:11,987 --> 00:07:13,307
Speaker 7: lot of belief that they were going to get it

131
00:07:13,347 --> 00:07:15,267
Speaker 7: back on track. We've just made a few errors. We've

132
00:07:15,267 --> 00:07:17,467
Speaker 7: got a couple of things wrong, which has been a

133
00:07:17,467 --> 00:07:21,747
Speaker 7: bit of a flavor for the preseason. But you know,

134
00:07:21,787 --> 00:07:24,227
Speaker 7: we've worked on remedies if we get in those situations

135
00:07:24,307 --> 00:07:27,507
Speaker 7: to try to give ourselves opportunity, and the boys embrace

136
00:07:27,587 --> 00:07:30,867
Speaker 7: those and yeah, and so there.

137
00:07:30,787 --> 00:07:31,387
Speaker 8: Was no panic.

138
00:07:32,907 --> 00:07:35,427
Speaker 2: So what did change? What did you see changed then?

139
00:07:36,147 --> 00:07:37,667
Speaker 2: You know from the moment you started to come back

140
00:07:37,707 --> 00:07:40,547
Speaker 2: into the game and actually then by halftime were ahead

141
00:07:40,747 --> 00:07:41,507
Speaker 2: on the scoreboard.

142
00:07:42,707 --> 00:07:46,067
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, we're still created in the first ten or

143
00:07:46,067 --> 00:07:50,027
Speaker 7: so minutes before the Chiefs scored, we've created opportunities where

144
00:07:50,787 --> 00:07:54,067
Speaker 7: we should have finished ourselves. So it wasn't as if

145
00:07:54,147 --> 00:07:58,907
Speaker 7: we were, you know, void of opportunity. So those those

146
00:07:58,987 --> 00:08:01,147
Speaker 7: things just say to you, like, if we can just

147
00:08:01,547 --> 00:08:04,467
Speaker 7: capitalize on those opportunities that we're creating and do more

148
00:08:04,547 --> 00:08:08,467
Speaker 7: with them, we'll get better outcome. And the reality was,

149
00:08:09,347 --> 00:08:12,347
Speaker 7: you know, the chief capitalized on a couple of opportunities.

150
00:08:12,347 --> 00:08:15,467
Speaker 7: We know they can go end to end and they

151
00:08:15,467 --> 00:08:18,467
Speaker 7: did it magnificently. You know, their counter tap game is

152
00:08:18,867 --> 00:08:21,787
Speaker 7: extremely dangerous and it's to credit to the talent that

153
00:08:21,827 --> 00:08:25,867
Speaker 7: they have in their group. But with us, you know,

154
00:08:25,947 --> 00:08:27,907
Speaker 7: we got a bit of rhythm through that middle part

155
00:08:27,907 --> 00:08:30,147
Speaker 7: of the first half and started to finish over the top.

156
00:08:30,187 --> 00:08:33,187
Speaker 7: And then we're just so proud of the boys after

157
00:08:33,227 --> 00:08:35,707
Speaker 7: they came out in the second half and you know,

158
00:08:36,387 --> 00:08:38,307
Speaker 7: put twenty odd points on them and took the game

159
00:08:38,347 --> 00:08:41,747
Speaker 7: away really in that third twenty which is notoriously a

160
00:08:41,787 --> 00:08:48,147
Speaker 7: part where the Chiefs have really claimed games. And so yeah,

161
00:08:48,187 --> 00:08:52,467
Speaker 7: I guess or and just rap with the outcome and

162
00:08:52,667 --> 00:08:54,027
Speaker 7: rap with the performance of a lot.

163
00:08:54,507 --> 00:08:56,467
Speaker 2: Can I ask you about a couple of players Tahi Kemada,

164
00:08:56,707 --> 00:08:59,027
Speaker 2: A lot of people saying it's a coming of age performance.

165
00:08:59,107 --> 00:09:00,987
Speaker 2: I know that you know, you've known for a long

166
00:09:01,027 --> 00:09:04,987
Speaker 2: time that he's a terrific player. How impressed were you

167
00:09:05,067 --> 00:09:05,787
Speaker 2: with him last night?

168
00:09:06,507 --> 00:09:09,827
Speaker 7: Yeah, twenty two years of age driving the crusaders around.

169
00:09:09,827 --> 00:09:14,427
Speaker 7: I think he's the youngest end that the organizations had

170
00:09:14,907 --> 00:09:19,547
Speaker 7: as a starter and it's a credit to him. He's

171
00:09:20,227 --> 00:09:22,987
Speaker 7: we know that he would played really well at the

172
00:09:22,987 --> 00:09:25,107
Speaker 7: start of last campaign and then got a knee injury

173
00:09:25,147 --> 00:09:27,227
Speaker 7: which was something he had to work his way through

174
00:09:27,267 --> 00:09:29,507
Speaker 7: and he's on the back of that he's done a

175
00:09:29,587 --> 00:09:33,907
Speaker 7: terrific job was rehab. He's back to full fitness mentally,

176
00:09:34,147 --> 00:09:38,067
Speaker 7: there's no scarring from that issue. And just so proud

177
00:09:38,107 --> 00:09:42,507
Speaker 7: of the young man. He's such a genuine bloke and

178
00:09:42,987 --> 00:09:45,547
Speaker 7: the loveliest guy you'd ever want to meet, and just

179
00:09:45,627 --> 00:09:46,427
Speaker 7: so committed and.

180
00:09:48,267 --> 00:09:53,027
Speaker 8: The ultimate competitor. And so yeah, I can't speak.

181
00:09:52,907 --> 00:09:55,747
Speaker 2: Highly enough about the young fellow Christian Leo Willie hat

182
00:09:55,747 --> 00:09:58,467
Speaker 2: trick of tries that's nice obviously, but his all round

183
00:09:58,507 --> 00:10:01,627
Speaker 2: game again impressed. What's he bringing to your forward pack

184
00:10:01,747 --> 00:10:02,147
Speaker 2: right now?

185
00:10:03,227 --> 00:10:05,827
Speaker 7: Well, Christian's one of the you know, he's got the ability,

186
00:10:06,427 --> 00:10:08,187
Speaker 7: he's got a bit of ex factor, so he's got

187
00:10:08,187 --> 00:10:11,947
Speaker 7: the ability to do things that with his footwork and

188
00:10:11,987 --> 00:10:16,427
Speaker 7: with his power. You know that that a specialized footy

189
00:10:16,427 --> 00:10:20,507
Speaker 7: field and allows other people to feed off. He's taken

190
00:10:20,547 --> 00:10:22,907
Speaker 7: a couple of weeks to get up to speed, which

191
00:10:22,987 --> 00:10:23,947
Speaker 7: is fair enough because he.

192
00:10:23,987 --> 00:10:24,987
Speaker 8: Came in late to us.

193
00:10:26,347 --> 00:10:32,147
Speaker 7: But he's again very committed, great competitor, loves this group

194
00:10:32,187 --> 00:10:36,467
Speaker 7: of men, and you know he just you just see

195
00:10:36,467 --> 00:10:39,227
Speaker 7: it in his eyes when he's playing well, it just

196
00:10:39,307 --> 00:10:42,867
Speaker 7: brings joy. And so it was lovely to see him

197
00:10:42,907 --> 00:10:45,787
Speaker 7: come off play eighty and the three tries, as you say,

198
00:10:45,827 --> 00:10:49,627
Speaker 7: a reflection on the team performance, but also a little

199
00:10:49,627 --> 00:10:52,067
Speaker 7: bit about himself. But what he gave us around our

200
00:10:52,067 --> 00:10:55,707
Speaker 7: attack and d across the park was really classy.

201
00:10:56,067 --> 00:10:57,307
Speaker 2: And the final one I want to ask you about

202
00:10:57,307 --> 00:10:59,947
Speaker 2: as Will Jordan on both sides of the ball. You

203
00:11:00,027 --> 00:11:02,947
Speaker 2: know he sets up tries, but that try saving tackle

204
00:11:03,027 --> 00:11:04,547
Speaker 2: right at the end, I mean, it wouldn't have mattered

205
00:11:04,547 --> 00:11:06,547
Speaker 2: if he hadn't made it, you still would have won

206
00:11:06,627 --> 00:11:09,787
Speaker 2: the game. Is he setting the standard in your group

207
00:11:09,867 --> 00:11:10,787
Speaker 2: right now? Will Jordan?

208
00:11:12,867 --> 00:11:14,707
Speaker 7: He's right up there with one or two Like he's

209
00:11:14,787 --> 00:11:18,187
Speaker 7: such a he's a code head, Like he loves the

210
00:11:18,307 --> 00:11:22,827
Speaker 7: game and he has got a great understanding of the game.

211
00:11:23,747 --> 00:11:26,627
Speaker 7: His leadership's gone through the roofs since my time yere.

212
00:11:26,947 --> 00:11:32,227
Speaker 7: He's matured. He's offering so much to the team and

213
00:11:32,947 --> 00:11:36,587
Speaker 7: you know, like he's a world class player, and he's

214
00:11:36,707 --> 00:11:40,747
Speaker 7: been He's been fantastic for us in every sphere of

215
00:11:41,227 --> 00:11:45,667
Speaker 7: the team, not just his own performances, but also care

216
00:11:45,747 --> 00:11:48,587
Speaker 7: and concern deeply about how others are going and what

217
00:11:48,747 --> 00:11:52,747
Speaker 7: the team needs to be better, and just a fabulous

218
00:11:52,827 --> 00:11:55,387
Speaker 7: young man. And he's still got a lot of great

219
00:11:55,427 --> 00:11:57,267
Speaker 7: rugby in front of him. And as you say, he

220
00:11:57,427 --> 00:12:01,347
Speaker 7: can just do things that others can't. You know, in

221
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,627
Speaker 7: the last three weeks he's ripped defenses open. We haven't

222
00:12:04,627 --> 00:12:08,587
Speaker 7: always been able to capitalize on an unfortunately, but you know,

223
00:12:08,707 --> 00:12:11,867
Speaker 7: he's a special till as we all know, and it

224
00:12:12,067 --> 00:12:15,267
Speaker 7: deserves all the credit that he has bestowed on him.

225
00:12:15,627 --> 00:12:17,667
Speaker 2: So many of your answers today, Robin, and when I've

226
00:12:17,707 --> 00:12:21,507
Speaker 2: spoken to you previously, just just demonstrate that you are

227
00:12:21,587 --> 00:12:25,267
Speaker 2: very much a player driven coach. You let the players

228
00:12:25,307 --> 00:12:28,267
Speaker 2: take a lot of responsibility. After last week, though, did

229
00:12:28,307 --> 00:12:30,547
Speaker 2: you have to lay down the lord at all? Did

230
00:12:30,587 --> 00:12:33,307
Speaker 2: you have to demand a response or did that also

231
00:12:33,507 --> 00:12:34,827
Speaker 2: come from the players.

232
00:12:36,667 --> 00:12:38,907
Speaker 7: Look, it's always a mixed bag. Of course, There's been

233
00:12:38,987 --> 00:12:44,827
Speaker 7: lots of conversations and we're blessed with our leadership quality.

234
00:12:44,867 --> 00:12:47,587
Speaker 7: And I said it last year a lot and I'll

235
00:12:47,707 --> 00:12:50,347
Speaker 7: go back there again. David Hovey had a magnificent week.

236
00:12:51,547 --> 00:12:57,347
Speaker 7: He sets such high standards around the how you prepare

237
00:12:57,427 --> 00:13:01,867
Speaker 7: mentally and how you call the mental application you need

238
00:13:01,947 --> 00:13:04,667
Speaker 7: to put in to get yourself in a position physically

239
00:13:04,787 --> 00:13:07,107
Speaker 7: to do what you need to do on game day.

240
00:13:07,187 --> 00:13:11,227
Speaker 7: And the boys love him, so he doesn't need to

241
00:13:11,227 --> 00:13:15,107
Speaker 7: say a lot, but when he speaks, he speaks with

242
00:13:15,227 --> 00:13:18,827
Speaker 7: a deepness and a truth and an honesty that touches

243
00:13:18,867 --> 00:13:22,627
Speaker 7: everybody's heart. And so I think I think the coaches did.

244
00:13:22,547 --> 00:13:23,507
Speaker 10: A magnificent job.

245
00:13:23,707 --> 00:13:25,827
Speaker 7: I think there were some things that the players needed

246
00:13:25,827 --> 00:13:28,587
Speaker 7: to hear. They got to hear those, But it's all

247
00:13:28,667 --> 00:13:31,587
Speaker 7: done in a caring and a growth with a growth

248
00:13:31,667 --> 00:13:36,467
Speaker 7: mindset and a manner in which doesn't impact the guy's confidence.

249
00:13:37,387 --> 00:13:39,907
Speaker 7: And you know, it leaves everyone in the room after

250
00:13:39,987 --> 00:13:41,867
Speaker 7: the meeting with right, this is where we're going, this

251
00:13:42,027 --> 00:13:43,667
Speaker 7: is what we need to do. Let's get on board,

252
00:13:43,707 --> 00:13:46,387
Speaker 7: and we're away. And it just felt like the coaches

253
00:13:46,467 --> 00:13:48,987
Speaker 7: set the tone earlier in the week and Davy and

254
00:13:49,067 --> 00:13:51,347
Speaker 7: the leaders topped it off at the back end of

255
00:13:51,387 --> 00:13:53,947
Speaker 7: the week, and players got into it and did the

256
00:13:54,547 --> 00:13:55,387
Speaker 7: job they needed.

257
00:13:55,587 --> 00:13:58,507
Speaker 2: To do, did any part of you last night early

258
00:13:58,587 --> 00:14:01,107
Speaker 2: in that game flash back two years.

259
00:14:03,827 --> 00:14:06,307
Speaker 8: No, no, look, this is a new.

260
00:14:09,507 --> 00:14:12,227
Speaker 7: We don't have the injury issues that we head back then,

261
00:14:13,587 --> 00:14:18,187
Speaker 7: so no, not at all. It's the group's just such

262
00:14:18,227 --> 00:14:21,307
Speaker 7: a joy to the part of and I'm enjoying the ride.

263
00:14:21,707 --> 00:14:23,227

269

Speaker 7: shall be fighting fireworks at Eating Park from the door.

270
00:14:38,147 --> 00:14:41,107
Speaker 2: I think you're probably right, Rob, I think you're probably right.

271
00:14:41,147 --> 00:14:43,947
Speaker 2: Great to chat. Thanks indeed, Rob Penny there the Crusader's

272
00:14:43,947 --> 00:14:45,707
Speaker 2: head coach on the back of his side forty three

273
00:14:45,827 --> 00:14:48,667
Speaker 2: thirty three went over the Chiefs in Hamilton last night.

274
00:14:48,827 --> 00:14:51,827
Speaker 2: Our line's open eight and eighty ten. I've got a

275
00:14:51,827 --> 00:14:53,347
Speaker 2: few thoughts, but Peter's been holding to you.

276
00:14:53,467 --> 00:14:53,987
Speaker 11: I have a chat.

277
00:14:54,547 --> 00:14:58,347
Speaker 2: Well, Peter, I'll just get you to turn your radio

278
00:14:58,467 --> 00:15:02,307
Speaker 2: down or perhaps your your speakerphone there, mate, because all

279
00:15:02,347 --> 00:15:04,627
Speaker 2: I'm hearing coming back is me and nobody wants that

280
00:15:05,307 --> 00:15:08,747
Speaker 2: nobody wants that. Royce's that try from the Chiefs was

281
00:15:08,827 --> 00:15:12,667
Speaker 2: like a barbarians try. It was roy that second try.

282
00:15:12,707 --> 00:15:16,067
Speaker 2: The chief scored when they went in to end and

283
00:15:16,467 --> 00:15:19,507
Speaker 2: at Tenny Nano Saturo took the final pass from Josh

284
00:15:19,627 --> 00:15:24,307
Speaker 2: Lord and sprinted away to score and Josh Jacob converts

285
00:15:24,347 --> 00:15:27,387
Speaker 2: and it's fourteen nil. I thought, I thought the Chiefs

286
00:15:27,507 --> 00:15:31,467
Speaker 2: just had absolute wind in their sales. So they're going

287
00:15:31,507 --> 00:15:33,027
Speaker 2: to win this game. Now, they're going to run away

288
00:15:33,027 --> 00:15:35,547
Speaker 2: from the Crusaders. They're going to They're going to make

289
00:15:35,587 --> 00:15:37,747
Speaker 2: it oh and three for the Crusaders and three and

290
00:15:37,827 --> 00:15:41,187
Speaker 2: oh for themselves. It was a tremendous try. Well Leroy

291
00:15:41,307 --> 00:15:45,427
Speaker 2: Carter has started that in his own in goal. Terrific

292
00:15:45,467 --> 00:15:49,067
Speaker 2: piece of action. But the Crusaders regrouped and came back.

293
00:15:49,067 --> 00:15:51,787
Speaker 2: I think we've got you now, Peter Hello. I hope

294
00:15:51,787 --> 00:15:54,467
Speaker 2: that's better, well, much better, Peter, much better.

295
00:15:55,267 --> 00:15:58,267
Speaker 12: Thank goodness. The Crusaders will be able to play undercover

296
00:15:58,387 --> 00:16:00,787
Speaker 12: when they're in christ Church. I don't know what all

297
00:16:00,947 --> 00:16:03,387
Speaker 12: changed with respect to the number of matches played in

298
00:16:03,507 --> 00:16:07,587
Speaker 12: christ Church undercover or anywhere under cover, but it's nice

299
00:16:07,627 --> 00:16:11,587
Speaker 12: to be able to happen and It's early days yet,

300
00:16:11,707 --> 00:16:15,107
Speaker 12: so anything can happen. But I don't think rugby is

301
00:16:15,147 --> 00:16:20,267
Speaker 12: going to be very disrupted unlike football because of the Iran,

302
00:16:21,027 --> 00:16:23,667
Speaker 12: US and Israel. So be interesting to see if FIFA

303
00:16:24,427 --> 00:16:27,387
Speaker 12: comes out with any announcements all backup plans. And you've

304
00:16:27,427 --> 00:16:31,107
Speaker 12: got to Iran playing inside the US, so I think

305
00:16:31,267 --> 00:16:36,267
Speaker 12: FIFA supporters might be more disruptive than rugby supporters because

306
00:16:36,907 --> 00:16:37,987
Speaker 12: we're rugby plays.

307
00:16:38,787 --> 00:16:38,987
Speaker 8: Yeah.

308
00:16:39,107 --> 00:16:41,467
Speaker 2: I wasn't going to chat too much about this today, Peter,

309
00:16:41,547 --> 00:16:45,267
Speaker 2: but you're right, FIFA do have some thinking to do. Iran,

310
00:16:45,347 --> 00:16:46,987
Speaker 2: as you may or may not know, are in New

311
00:16:47,067 --> 00:16:49,907
Speaker 2: Zealand's group at the FIFA World Cup as well, So

312
00:16:50,067 --> 00:16:53,307
Speaker 2: New Zealand is scheduled to play Iran in their very

313
00:16:53,387 --> 00:16:55,547
Speaker 2: first match at the FIFA World Cup in Los Angeles.

314
00:16:55,667 --> 00:17:00,347
Speaker 2: So look, there's yeah, there's certainly some troubling signs around

315
00:17:00,387 --> 00:17:03,467
Speaker 2: the world. It's always a shame when sport gets affected

316
00:17:03,747 --> 00:17:08,147
Speaker 2: and let's hope that that doesn't come to pass when

317
00:17:08,147 --> 00:17:09,907
Speaker 2: the World Cup comes around in June and July.

318
00:17:10,867 --> 00:17:15,427
Speaker 12: Yes, well it's not very far away, and my prediction

319
00:17:15,907 --> 00:17:20,987
Speaker 12: is that the US will probably they've warned that they

320
00:17:21,027 --> 00:17:23,707
Speaker 12: didn't have enough am so they'll probably run out of

321
00:17:23,787 --> 00:17:26,627
Speaker 12: our own a couple of weeks or months time, and

322
00:17:27,387 --> 00:17:30,707
Speaker 12: the US will probably have to grin and bear a loss.

323
00:17:30,787 --> 00:17:34,787
Speaker 12: And if they don't, are oil supplies and diesel and

324
00:17:35,067 --> 00:17:37,827
Speaker 12: everything else. And you know, if you're on a Middle

325
00:17:37,867 --> 00:17:41,347
Speaker 12: East airline going through there, you might not get through,

326
00:17:41,427 --> 00:17:43,827
Speaker 12: and if you're trying to come back, you might struggle

327
00:17:43,907 --> 00:17:44,427
Speaker 12: to get back.

328
00:17:44,547 --> 00:17:47,227
Speaker 2: So yeah, Peter, we'll leave it there, mate. I'm sure

329
00:17:47,227 --> 00:17:50,467
Speaker 2: that this will be addressed on our more news focused

330
00:17:50,667 --> 00:17:53,387
Speaker 2: shows over the next week or so. Certainly Mike tomorrow

331
00:17:53,467 --> 00:17:55,547
Speaker 2: morning and the Breakfast show will have all you need

332
00:17:55,587 --> 00:17:57,627
Speaker 2: to know. We might just stick to sport this afternoon, mate.

333
00:17:57,827 --> 00:17:59,987
Speaker 2: I know that might sound a little bit a little

334
00:18:00,027 --> 00:18:03,387
Speaker 2: bit naive and facetious, but ken to chats and sport

335
00:18:03,467 --> 00:18:06,547
Speaker 2: this afternoon. But thank you for bringing us your point

336
00:18:06,547 --> 00:18:09,067
Speaker 2: of view. Twelve twenty five. It is let's talk some

337
00:18:09,587 --> 00:18:14,107
Speaker 2: super rugby without downplaying the things that are happening around

338
00:18:14,107 --> 00:18:16,267
Speaker 2: the world at the moment. This is a sports show, though,

339
00:18:16,347 --> 00:18:19,867
Speaker 2: so let's focus on that and on a terrific Crusaders

340
00:18:19,907 --> 00:18:23,707
Speaker 2: performance last night. Again, as I say, when the Chiefs

341
00:18:23,947 --> 00:18:27,107
Speaker 2: went out to fourteen nil, it just felt like they

342
00:18:27,187 --> 00:18:30,467
Speaker 2: had momentum. But it's the mark of the Crusaders, isn't it.

343
00:18:31,067 --> 00:18:34,987
Speaker 2: You've lost to the Highlanders, You've had fifty put on

344
00:18:35,107 --> 00:18:38,107
Speaker 2: you by the Brumbies at home for the first time ever,

345
00:18:38,787 --> 00:18:41,227
Speaker 2: and then your fourteen niil down to a side that really,

346
00:18:41,427 --> 00:18:45,627
Speaker 2: across the last three regular seasons has set the standard

347
00:18:45,827 --> 00:18:48,787
Speaker 2: in Super Rugby and you're at their home ground with

348
00:18:48,827 --> 00:18:54,867
Speaker 2: about eighteen thousand there, most of them chairing for the Chiefs,

349
00:18:55,667 --> 00:18:59,947
Speaker 2: and yet they turned things around, got themselves back into

350
00:18:59,987 --> 00:19:03,707
Speaker 2: it and then scored what thirty seven thirty six, thirty

351
00:19:03,707 --> 00:19:05,867
Speaker 2: seven thirty six I think it was thirty six unanswered

352
00:19:05,907 --> 00:19:10,227
Speaker 2: points and Christian Leo will he I know tries are

353
00:19:10,267 --> 00:19:12,507
Speaker 2: only part of it, but a hat tricker tries to

354
00:19:12,547 --> 00:19:15,667
Speaker 2: a number eight. That's always something to enjoy, isn't it.

355
00:19:15,867 --> 00:19:18,747
Speaker 2: I'm sure he would have enjoyed it. And Taharkimeeda I

356
00:19:18,947 --> 00:19:25,827
Speaker 2: really really enjoyed his his contribution. I had the I

357
00:19:25,947 --> 00:19:29,827
Speaker 2: had the great pleasure of meeting Tahakimeda at the Super

358
00:19:29,907 --> 00:19:34,427
Speaker 2: Rugby Final last year and he came up into the

359
00:19:34,467 --> 00:19:36,187
Speaker 2: commentary box. We did a build up to the game

360
00:19:36,227 --> 00:19:40,107
Speaker 2: before the commentators took over and we got Taharkimeeda up

361
00:19:40,227 --> 00:19:44,387
Speaker 2: he was injured at that stage. What a terrifically mature

362
00:19:44,467 --> 00:19:47,787
Speaker 2: young man he had. He had a long injury layoff

363
00:19:47,867 --> 00:19:51,147
Speaker 2: last year, but his his philosophy around dealing with it

364
00:19:52,347 --> 00:19:54,667
Speaker 2: and just you know, you know when you meet someone

365
00:19:54,747 --> 00:19:57,307
Speaker 2: sometimes and you just think this, this person's got a

366
00:19:57,347 --> 00:20:00,187
Speaker 2: bit about them. That's how I felt about Tahakimeeda and

367
00:20:00,267 --> 00:20:02,987
Speaker 2: when I watched him last night, as Rob Penny just said,

368
00:20:03,387 --> 00:20:05,147
Speaker 2: one of the youngest guys to ever run the cutter

369
00:20:05,187 --> 00:20:08,347
Speaker 2: for the Crusaders. You know, there's been some pretty good

370
00:20:08,347 --> 00:20:11,107
Speaker 2: guys who worn that tingers in the past. Andrew Martins

371
00:20:11,107 --> 00:20:12,427
Speaker 2: would have been one of the younger ones when he

372
00:20:12,547 --> 00:20:15,107
Speaker 2: was doing it back in the early night. Sorry, when

373
00:20:15,147 --> 00:20:17,467
Speaker 2: Super Rugby started just after the ninety five World Cup.

374
00:20:17,747 --> 00:20:18,987
Speaker 2: He was only about twenty one when he went to

375
00:20:19,067 --> 00:20:21,347
Speaker 2: that World Cup, wasn't he? But I diagree Start came

376
00:20:21,387 --> 00:20:24,867
Speaker 2: it up. Very impressed last night, very impressed with his performance.

377
00:20:24,907 --> 00:20:27,587
Speaker 13: Good I Greg, good a piney, How are you doing?

378
00:20:27,987 --> 00:20:28,307
Speaker 8: Very good?

379
00:20:28,347 --> 00:20:28,547
Speaker 2: Thanks?

380
00:20:28,587 --> 00:20:28,747
Speaker 8: Greg?

381
00:20:28,827 --> 00:20:29,947
Speaker 2: Do you want to talk about sport?

382
00:20:31,187 --> 00:20:34,267
Speaker 13: Yes, nothing else about the Crusaders. I mean it was

383
00:20:34,307 --> 00:20:36,667
Speaker 13: a great result last night because the Fiefs are always

384
00:20:36,707 --> 00:20:39,707
Speaker 13: a tough force to come up against on their home ground.

385
00:20:39,827 --> 00:20:42,387
Speaker 13: But I just think it's still the people who are

386
00:20:42,427 --> 00:20:44,867
Speaker 13: right and the Crusaders off, you know. And you saw

387
00:20:44,947 --> 00:20:47,907
Speaker 13: the comments floating around after last week, and incidentally I

388
00:20:48,027 --> 00:20:49,907
Speaker 13: was at that game and it was a shame we lost,

389
00:20:49,987 --> 00:20:53,307
Speaker 13: but because of the nomentosfication. It was for three years

390
00:20:53,347 --> 00:20:57,187
Speaker 13: since the earthquakes. But you know, the Brumbles were a

391
00:20:57,267 --> 00:21:00,587
Speaker 13: great team. They are my favorite Australian team and they

392
00:21:00,667 --> 00:21:03,387
Speaker 13: played well. But the Crusaders came back last night and

393
00:21:04,747 --> 00:21:07,307
Speaker 13: it was a great result and it just shows the

394
00:21:07,467 --> 00:21:10,707
Speaker 13: mark of the team. And they duck deep obviously because

395
00:21:10,707 --> 00:21:14,387
Speaker 13: you know, fourteen down and in twenty one seven, but they,

396
00:21:14,707 --> 00:21:17,427
Speaker 13: as I said, deep and did the job and it

397
00:21:17,587 --> 00:21:17,947
Speaker 13: was great.

398
00:21:18,027 --> 00:21:18,187
Speaker 4: You know.

399
00:21:19,147 --> 00:21:21,587
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, look, I mean for Crusaders fans absolutely, and

400
00:21:21,667 --> 00:21:23,307
Speaker 2: I think you know, for the rest of us Greg

401
00:21:23,467 --> 00:21:25,867
Speaker 2: and you know, I mean, you've you've had a lot

402
00:21:25,907 --> 00:21:29,867
Speaker 2: of success and and you know, and good on the Crusaders.

403
00:21:29,907 --> 00:21:32,027
Speaker 2: I was thinking that I was thinking back to twenty

404
00:21:32,107 --> 00:21:35,187
Speaker 2: twenty four and that's why I asked Rob Penny the question,

405
00:21:35,307 --> 00:21:37,587
Speaker 2: because as you know, that was an aberration in terms

406
00:21:37,627 --> 00:21:41,307
Speaker 2: of that season. And I looked back and they lost

407
00:21:41,347 --> 00:21:45,067
Speaker 2: their first five games that season. They recovered briefly but

408
00:21:45,147 --> 00:21:48,547
Speaker 2: then didn't make the top eight. You'll remember, but you know,

409
00:21:48,867 --> 00:21:51,427
Speaker 2: they didn't have will Jordan then, and I just think

410
00:21:51,427 --> 00:21:54,067
Speaker 2: he's such a huge part of this. They had taakkemaa

411
00:21:54,147 --> 00:21:56,667
Speaker 2: oddly enough at first five, but he was just learning

412
00:21:56,707 --> 00:21:58,947
Speaker 2: his trade. He would have been a teenager back then,

413
00:21:59,067 --> 00:22:01,827
Speaker 2: or maybe just into his twenty. So yeah, this doesn't

414
00:22:01,867 --> 00:22:06,707
Speaker 2: feel like a twenty twenty four Crusaders to me. Probably

415
00:22:06,747 --> 00:22:08,107
Speaker 2: winn't the thing again, mate.

416
00:22:08,907 --> 00:22:11,627
Speaker 13: Well, I mean there's a lot of revenment against them there,

417
00:22:11,627 --> 00:22:13,947
Speaker 13: and it's a bit like what happened with the Blues

418
00:22:14,147 --> 00:22:17,187
Speaker 13: while Orkanden when they had their great team back in

419
00:22:17,267 --> 00:22:20,787
Speaker 13: the eighties and into the nineties. You know, there's a

420
00:22:20,907 --> 00:22:24,667
Speaker 13: lot of aike and anti Crusader talk and so forth.

421
00:22:25,027 --> 00:22:27,707
Speaker 13: But you know, it's early in the competition and as

422
00:22:27,787 --> 00:22:32,187
Speaker 13: Scott Robinson said a few years ago, early results don't

423
00:22:32,227 --> 00:22:34,627
Speaker 13: count for anything. We're obviously very proud here of what

424
00:22:34,747 --> 00:22:38,147
Speaker 13: happened last night and hopefully the ship's getting righted again,

425
00:22:38,667 --> 00:22:42,107
Speaker 13: but it's a long campaign and they'll they'll take that

426
00:22:42,267 --> 00:22:44,747
Speaker 13: on board. And obviously, you know, as I said that

427
00:22:44,947 --> 00:22:47,187
Speaker 13: after the first two games. I mean, they only lost

428
00:22:47,267 --> 00:22:49,467
Speaker 13: narrowly to the Highlanders, but last week they got a

429
00:22:49,547 --> 00:22:53,587
Speaker 13: whapping by the Rutnbies. But you know it's early, but

430
00:22:53,787 --> 00:22:56,547
Speaker 13: you know they get starting to they'll find their straps

431
00:22:56,627 --> 00:22:59,547
Speaker 13: and I have glitchers along the way. You can't win

432
00:22:59,667 --> 00:23:04,267
Speaker 13: everything point, everybody knows that. But indeed we're very confident

433
00:23:04,427 --> 00:23:06,627
Speaker 13: and that's why you know, you saw it last steer

434
00:23:06,707 --> 00:23:09,387
Speaker 13: down here, the respect that there is for the team,

435
00:23:09,507 --> 00:23:10,587
Speaker 13: didn't it I.

436
00:23:10,667 --> 00:23:14,267
Speaker 2: Did, And that Greg, that you've landed on exactly. The

437
00:23:14,347 --> 00:23:16,947
Speaker 2: thing that stood out for me the most was how

438
00:23:17,707 --> 00:23:21,467
Speaker 2: much the Crusaders mean to the people of christ Jurch.

439
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:27,387
Speaker 2: It was so obvious. And yeah, no, you you've absolutely

440
00:23:27,467 --> 00:23:30,747
Speaker 2: nailed at mate, And look, I agree with you. I

441
00:23:30,827 --> 00:23:34,667
Speaker 2: don't think this is you know, winning last night. I

442
00:23:34,747 --> 00:23:37,707
Speaker 2: think put paid to any thoughts that this might be

443
00:23:38,627 --> 00:23:43,187
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty four reincarnation that ain't happening. This is

444
00:23:43,267 --> 00:23:46,387
Speaker 2: a really good Crusader's side and the Blues next week

445
00:23:46,427 --> 00:23:48,507
Speaker 2: going to be another good, good contest for them. Great

446
00:23:48,547 --> 00:23:49,307
Speaker 2: to chat to you, Greg.

447
00:23:49,547 --> 00:23:49,787
Speaker 14: Thanks.

448
00:23:49,827 --> 00:23:51,427
Speaker 2: Indeed, I've had it pointed out to me here as well,

449
00:23:52,547 --> 00:23:57,827
Speaker 2: mister Pine, says Nate. Yes, Nate. Traditionally the Crusaders have

450
00:23:57,987 --> 00:24:00,027
Speaker 2: never performed well at the start of the season, but

451
00:24:00,107 --> 00:24:01,827
Speaker 2: they'll always end up in the final. I'm not worried

452
00:24:01,867 --> 00:24:03,507
Speaker 2: if they lose the odd game at the start, lose

453
00:24:03,547 --> 00:24:06,627
Speaker 2: the battle, win the war. Yeah, you did right, Nate,

454
00:24:06,867 --> 00:24:10,547
Speaker 2: You're did right. Half past twelve oh eight, one hundred

455
00:24:10,587 --> 00:24:13,947
Speaker 2: and eighty ten to eighty talking super rugbe Crusaders in particular.

456
00:24:13,987 --> 00:24:16,467
Speaker 2: But if anything caught you your eye in any of

457
00:24:16,507 --> 00:24:18,427
Speaker 2: the games over the weekend, came to kick it around

458
00:24:18,467 --> 00:24:20,347
Speaker 2: with you. We're back in a second weekend Sport twenty

459
00:24:20,507 --> 00:24:21,467
Speaker 2: nine away from one.

460
00:24:22,147 --> 00:24:23,307
Speaker 4: Yes, the wait is over.

461
00:24:23,347 --> 00:24:26,147
Speaker 15: The F one season begins Ian Melbourne, which means Liam

462
00:24:26,227 --> 00:24:30,027
Speaker 15: Lawson's second full season. Of course, we've got major changes

463
00:24:30,067 --> 00:24:33,267
Speaker 15: to the cars, the power unit Chassi, new aerodynamic rules,

464
00:24:33,387 --> 00:24:36,307
Speaker 15: no d rest, plus a brand new team and do

465
00:24:36,427 --> 00:24:38,387

Speaker 2: Caps into the T twenty Cricker World Cup Semis yep.

478
00:25:11,747 --> 00:25:13,907
Speaker 2: More on that across the afternoon. Got to get back

479
00:25:13,907 --> 00:25:16,027
Speaker 2: to the lines because we are chockers. Oh eight hundred

480
00:25:16,027 --> 00:25:17,427
Speaker 2: and eighty ten out you get a mark.

481
00:25:17,787 --> 00:25:18,467
Speaker 8: Good day, buddy.

482
00:25:19,147 --> 00:25:22,907
Speaker 10: I want to have a quick talk about this advantage law,

483
00:25:22,947 --> 00:25:23,587
Speaker 10: buddy if I can.

484
00:25:24,147 --> 00:25:24,387
Speaker 2: Yeah.

485
00:25:25,107 --> 00:25:25,307
Speaker 8: Yeah.

486
00:25:26,667 --> 00:25:30,547
Speaker 10: Last night's game, Bradley's got a penalty advantage late in

487
00:25:30,587 --> 00:25:33,267
Speaker 10: the second half there and it was over pretty damn quick,

488
00:25:33,547 --> 00:25:37,147
Speaker 10: and the Blues got the ball. In the Western Force game,

489
00:25:37,507 --> 00:25:41,267
Speaker 10: Western Force got a penalty advantage late in the second

490
00:25:41,307 --> 00:25:44,387
Speaker 10: half that went on for at least nine or ten

491
00:25:44,707 --> 00:25:47,907
Speaker 10: phases a good three minutes, and then it was brought

492
00:25:48,027 --> 00:25:49,907
Speaker 10: back and then they got another one, and.

493
00:25:49,987 --> 00:25:51,707
Speaker 8: A similar scenario occurred.

494
00:25:52,027 --> 00:25:55,507
Speaker 10: What is the law on an advantage like last night's game?

495
00:25:55,547 --> 00:25:57,667
Speaker 10: It was over damn quick. It was over within about

496
00:25:58,507 --> 00:25:59,147
Speaker 10: under a minute.

497
00:26:00,267 --> 00:26:04,227
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's referees discretion Mark, But what was the

498
00:26:04,347 --> 00:26:06,267
Speaker 2: first one you talked about, the one that was over quick?

499
00:26:06,587 --> 00:26:09,467
Speaker 2: Was it definitely a penalty advantage or was it a

500
00:26:09,547 --> 00:26:10,427
Speaker 2: knock on advantage?

501
00:26:10,827 --> 00:26:13,907
Speaker 10: It was a penalty advantage, Okay, okay, the ball has

502
00:26:13,947 --> 00:26:17,827
Speaker 10: won the ball for some reason, and yeah, it was over.

503
00:26:19,627 --> 00:26:23,907
Speaker 2: I can only imagine, and I can't recall the incidents

504
00:26:23,907 --> 00:26:25,627
Speaker 2: that you're referring to much, but I can only I

505
00:26:25,667 --> 00:26:29,267
Speaker 2: can only imagine that the Yeah, referees have different interpretations.

506
00:26:29,347 --> 00:26:31,987
Speaker 2: It is one that's interesting, isn't it, Because you're right?

507
00:26:32,067 --> 00:26:35,907
Speaker 2: Often there are nine, ten, a dozen phases and I mean,

508
00:26:36,027 --> 00:26:39,707
Speaker 2: surely that's enough for you to take advantage of the advantage.

509
00:26:39,747 --> 00:26:42,107
Speaker 2: But yeah, they do seem to you know your hair,

510
00:26:42,227 --> 00:26:44,467
Speaker 2: don't you? The referee advantage over and that's normally what

511
00:26:44,547 --> 00:26:46,987
Speaker 2: the knock on advantages, you know, not the penalty one.

512
00:26:47,067 --> 00:26:49,187
Speaker 2: So I can't help you, unfortunately, But I know there

513
00:26:49,227 --> 00:26:52,267
Speaker 2: are a lot of referees listening, so somebody, I'm sure

514
00:26:52,467 --> 00:26:55,307
Speaker 2: we'll be able to give clarity to you, Mark. They'll

515
00:26:55,347 --> 00:26:58,627
Speaker 2: be along shortly, either on text or on the phone.

516
00:26:58,707 --> 00:27:00,307
Speaker 2: Good to jet you mate, Ross. You want to just

517
00:27:00,387 --> 00:27:02,187
Speaker 2: talk about the golf Open?

518
00:27:03,107 --> 00:27:06,827
Speaker 17: Yeah, just freakly, mate, I'm not usually one to winge

519
00:27:06,907 --> 00:27:10,787
Speaker 17: about New Zealand sport, but their leader board is.

520
00:27:11,027 --> 00:27:12,827
Speaker 8: Just so amateurish.

521
00:27:14,507 --> 00:27:17,427
Speaker 2: Ross. I know, yeah, Ross, I know exactly what you think.

522
00:27:17,627 --> 00:27:20,187
Speaker 17: To be on there is the leaders there doesn't show

523
00:27:20,267 --> 00:27:24,347
Speaker 17: any score by hole by whole scores or anything like that.

524
00:27:24,507 --> 00:27:27,267
Speaker 17: It's just probably the worst I've ever seen, to be fair,

525
00:27:27,347 --> 00:27:31,587
Speaker 17: I mean, even the likes of Fijian Open or you

526
00:27:31,627 --> 00:27:35,227
Speaker 17: don't know, anything like that. There's way better productivity than

527
00:27:35,307 --> 00:27:35,627
Speaker 17: that one.

528
00:27:36,067 --> 00:27:38,147
Speaker 2: Here's the tip, Ross, here's the tip. I was talking

529
00:27:38,187 --> 00:27:40,987
Speaker 2: to somebody about this on Friday about how I was

530
00:27:41,067 --> 00:27:43,907
Speaker 2: finding it hard to navigate. It didn't look like a

531
00:27:43,987 --> 00:27:45,947
Speaker 2: normal leader board that you normally see when you go

532
00:27:46,067 --> 00:27:48,707
Speaker 2: online to watch a golf open, and so I was

533
00:27:49,147 --> 00:27:55,227
Speaker 2: I was directed to the golf dot com dot au website.

534
00:27:55,267 --> 00:27:58,907
Speaker 2: If you've got a golf dot com dot au, the

535
00:27:59,027 --> 00:28:01,587
Speaker 2: leader board is there in the fashion that you have

536
00:28:01,707 --> 00:28:05,627
Speaker 2: outlined there all in order, the entire leader board. You

537
00:28:05,747 --> 00:28:08,187
Speaker 2: click on an aim and it opens up their first, second, third,

538
00:28:08,227 --> 00:28:12,627
Speaker 2: and fourth round scores. So yeah, I don't know why

539
00:28:12,747 --> 00:28:15,467
Speaker 2: the official New Zealand Golf Open website hasn't done it

540
00:28:15,547 --> 00:28:18,147
Speaker 2: that way. It just looks very very difficult to read.

541
00:28:18,507 --> 00:28:20,507
Speaker 2: So if you at a golf dot com dot au mate,

542
00:28:20,547 --> 00:28:23,307
Speaker 2: that's where you'll find you'll find a bit of joy

543
00:28:23,507 --> 00:28:25,507
Speaker 2: as far as the leader board is concerned. Mike Thorpe

544
00:28:25,587 --> 00:28:29,187
Speaker 2: is with us from Queenstown before one o'clock. Daniel Hilly you,

545
00:28:29,307 --> 00:28:32,467
Speaker 2: Curtis Luck and Kerry Mountcastle. So HILLI, you're in Mountcastle,

546
00:28:32,507 --> 00:28:34,307
Speaker 2: the two key who was in Curtis Luck the Australians.

547
00:28:34,587 --> 00:28:38,307
Speaker 2: Australian are underway just before one in their final round.

548
00:28:38,907 --> 00:28:42,267
Speaker 2: Hilly you're eighteen under Luck and mount Castle seventeen under.

549
00:28:42,627 --> 00:28:43,867
Speaker 2: You get the feeling the win is going to be

550
00:28:43,947 --> 00:28:47,707
Speaker 2: one of those three? Which of the three is it

551
00:28:47,867 --> 00:28:51,547
Speaker 2: going to be? Graham? You would have enjoyed that. You

552
00:28:51,587 --> 00:28:54,427
Speaker 2: wouldn't have been nervous at all at twenty one seven down.

553
00:28:55,627 --> 00:28:58,267
Speaker 4: Oh they's a bit anxious, probably more than nervous. Yeah,

554
00:28:58,347 --> 00:29:02,747
Speaker 4: but you know, obviously a lot of people picked the

555
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:06,547
Speaker 4: chiefs and obviously you're tough at home and now say

556
00:29:06,587 --> 00:29:09,267
Speaker 4: the least. Yeah, but the guys showed a lot of character.

557
00:29:09,467 --> 00:29:12,627
Speaker 4: I think great interview with Rob Penny. They put their

558
00:29:12,667 --> 00:29:16,707
Speaker 4: preparation in and wrecked You know, I wasn't perfect, but

559
00:29:16,747 --> 00:29:20,147
Speaker 4: they rectified a lot of the things that you know,

560
00:29:20,187 --> 00:29:24,987
Speaker 4: obviously the last ten months. Last week which was a debacle,

561
00:29:25,107 --> 00:29:27,987
Speaker 4: but they you know, they bounced back in six days.

562
00:29:30,067 --> 00:29:33,827
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, yeah, they were just you know, it just

563
00:29:33,907 --> 00:29:36,787
Speaker 2: reminded me of the Crusaders, Graham. You know, I just said,

564
00:29:37,107 --> 00:29:38,747
Speaker 2: it was just like, oh, okay, it's the Crusaders.

565
00:29:39,067 --> 00:29:39,227
Speaker 9: You know.

566
00:29:39,627 --> 00:29:42,187
Speaker 2: I was like, I say, at forty nail down, at

567
00:29:42,187 --> 00:29:44,507
Speaker 2: twenty one seven down, I thought, Okay, which which Crusaders

568
00:29:44,587 --> 00:29:46,547
Speaker 2: is this? Is it the normal one or is it

569
00:29:46,907 --> 00:29:48,667
Speaker 2: are we? Are we back in twenty twenty four? Well,

570
00:29:48,667 --> 00:29:50,387
Speaker 2: we're clearly not back in twenty twenty four.

571
00:29:51,467 --> 00:29:51,627
Speaker 9: Yeah.

572
00:29:51,747 --> 00:29:54,267
Speaker 4: He just asked for Rob. That's a fair question because

573
00:29:54,627 --> 00:29:59,267
Speaker 4: he went through that more than anybody. And you know, yeah,

574
00:29:59,307 --> 00:30:02,787
Speaker 4: I just thought, well, led by David Verli and you

575
00:30:02,867 --> 00:30:06,107
Speaker 4: know Will Jordan, those guys they at the forwards, that

576
00:30:06,187 --> 00:30:09,267
Speaker 4: the job. Now it's two tough packs and it was

577
00:30:09,267 --> 00:30:14,587
Speaker 4: a Niggli game. But Neil and Thomas to Mighty Williams. Yeah,

578
00:30:14,627 --> 00:30:18,947
Speaker 4: they're combos, you know, each the tough chiefs one and

579
00:30:19,187 --> 00:30:23,547
Speaker 4: the thought, uh, you know, well led by Jamie Hannah,

580
00:30:23,547 --> 00:30:25,107
Speaker 4: I don't think he was doing the line out calls

581
00:30:26,347 --> 00:30:29,147
Speaker 4: Rob said at the end here he's he's he's really

582
00:30:29,227 --> 00:30:31,747
Speaker 4: growing as a player and now a host them and

583
00:30:31,867 --> 00:30:34,387
Speaker 4: Kamara on their old you know, their home what it is,

584
00:30:34,467 --> 00:30:38,307
Speaker 4: their hometown. So yeah, they look like they enjoyed being there.

585
00:30:38,387 --> 00:30:40,707
Speaker 4: You know they weren't. Obviously they'd get a bit of stick,

586
00:30:40,787 --> 00:30:44,947
Speaker 4: but as players do. But yeah, that was a great game.

587
00:30:45,027 --> 00:30:50,267
Speaker 2: And Jordan, how do you how do you write camera? Sorry, Graham,

588
00:30:50,307 --> 00:30:52,267
Speaker 2: how do you write? He said, lot of You've said

589
00:30:52,267 --> 00:30:53,907
Speaker 2: a lot of crusaders first five and there's been some

590
00:30:54,027 --> 00:30:56,427
Speaker 2: good ones. Well how do you write them?

591
00:30:57,867 --> 00:30:59,867
Speaker 4: I think I think he's I think he improved last

592
00:30:59,947 --> 00:31:03,027
Speaker 4: year a big time. You know, obviously he had a terrible,

593
00:31:03,667 --> 00:31:07,107
Speaker 4: terrible injury after you know about he said the way

594
00:31:07,187 --> 00:31:10,067
Speaker 4: through the comp And I think he and his goalkicking

595
00:31:11,067 --> 00:31:14,547
Speaker 4: has really was a work on last year. And he's yeah,

596
00:31:14,627 --> 00:31:17,467
Speaker 4: he's really hardly missed the goal in pre season or

597
00:31:17,587 --> 00:31:21,347
Speaker 4: in the in the competition games because you know Rivers

598
00:31:21,427 --> 00:31:25,547
Speaker 4: Rahana stepped up and did that. It was great a

599
00:31:25,627 --> 00:31:27,787
Speaker 4: plume and you know, in the latter part of last year.

600
00:31:27,947 --> 00:31:30,627
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think he's a work in progress. And

601
00:31:30,747 --> 00:31:33,307
Speaker 4: five number tens are like that. There's a lot of

602
00:31:33,387 --> 00:31:36,347
Speaker 4: heat on Kens, not just for the legacy of what

603
00:31:36,467 --> 00:31:39,427
Speaker 4: we've had here at the Crusaders, but yeah, it's a pressure.

604
00:31:40,147 --> 00:31:43,107
Speaker 4: It's a pressure you position, and you know, and he's

605
00:31:43,187 --> 00:31:46,347
Speaker 4: growing and I thought he's shown so much more confidence

606
00:31:46,427 --> 00:31:47,307
Speaker 4: and it's great to see.

607
00:31:47,947 --> 00:31:50,267
Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed it is. I'm glad you enjoyed a graham

608
00:31:50,347 --> 00:31:51,987
Speaker 2: on you. You what I've always I always think of

609
00:31:52,067 --> 00:31:54,587
Speaker 2: you when the Crusaders do well, might I always always

610
00:31:54,667 --> 00:31:57,067
Speaker 2: think of you and how happy you'll be. But then

611
00:31:57,227 --> 00:31:59,427
Speaker 2: you're not a You're not a fair weather fan. It's

612
00:31:59,667 --> 00:32:01,907
Speaker 2: you know, you're right it through thick and thin. You're

613
00:32:01,947 --> 00:32:03,787
Speaker 2: talking about first fives. They're just going back to twenty

614
00:32:03,827 --> 00:32:08,667
Speaker 2: twenty four because Revers Rayhanna started that season in the

615
00:32:08,747 --> 00:32:11,787
Speaker 2: ten Jersey. Then Taha Camerada took over two games.

616
00:32:11,827 --> 00:32:12,507
Speaker 18: Then he I.

617
00:32:12,587 --> 00:32:15,907
Speaker 2: Imaginn't he get sent up northwards, sent home or something

618
00:32:16,547 --> 00:32:18,787
Speaker 2: from memory? He was like the Crusader said, hey, this

619
00:32:18,947 --> 00:32:21,787
Speaker 2: is just a bit much for you. And then they

620
00:32:21,867 --> 00:32:26,467
Speaker 2: bought Riley juhepperin. Then Rovers Raehanna came back, David Havili

621
00:32:26,547 --> 00:32:29,107
Speaker 2: had a couple of games at first five, then Fergus

622
00:32:29,187 --> 00:32:31,027
Speaker 2: Burke right at the end. They had about six different

623
00:32:31,107 --> 00:32:36,347
Speaker 2: first fives that year. What were they doing nineteen away

624
00:32:36,347 --> 00:32:38,787
Speaker 2: from one. We're back with more calls after this and

625
00:32:38,987 --> 00:32:40,787

630
00:32:53,667 --> 00:32:55,347
Speaker 2: Caught it to one here on News Talks he'd be

631
00:32:55,507 --> 00:32:59,067
Speaker 2: high excitement in Queenstown the final round and the one

632
00:32:59,187 --> 00:33:02,987
Speaker 2: hundred and fifth New Zealand Golf Open with two kiwi's

633
00:33:03,107 --> 00:33:05,547
Speaker 2: and the final group of three. Daniel Hillyer has the

634
00:33:05,587 --> 00:33:10,307
Speaker 2: outright leader today eighteen under carry Mountcastle is at seventeen under.

635
00:33:10,387 --> 00:33:13,107
Speaker 2: Mike Thorpe is our man in Queenstown. It wouldn't be

636
00:33:13,267 --> 00:33:15,227
Speaker 2: like Christmas Eve last night, Mike.

637
00:33:16,067 --> 00:33:18,787
Speaker 11: Honestly, mate, it was one of the great finishes to

638
00:33:18,907 --> 00:33:21,147
Speaker 11: a third round. You know, we've still got eighteen holes.

639
00:33:20,907 --> 00:33:21,427
Speaker 8: Ahead of us.

640
00:33:21,867 --> 00:33:23,067
Speaker 16: But to see hw you go.

641
00:33:23,427 --> 00:33:28,307
Speaker 11: Birdie Birdie, par Eagle Birdie. The eagle Birdie part played

642
00:33:28,347 --> 00:33:31,387
Speaker 11: out in front of thousands who had gathered around the

643
00:33:31,547 --> 00:33:33,707
Speaker 11: end of that seventeenth hole, the eighteenth t and then

644
00:33:33,827 --> 00:33:37,587
Speaker 11: into that final hole as well. It was absolutely incredible.

645
00:33:37,627 --> 00:33:41,627
Speaker 11: We can only hope for some kind of similar drama tonight,

646
00:33:42,627 --> 00:33:47,387
Speaker 11: as probably four players contend for that title, the two

647
00:33:47,467 --> 00:33:50,187
Speaker 11: key Wes as you've mentioned, as well as the Australian's

648
00:33:50,227 --> 00:33:53,547
Speaker 11: Curtis Luck and Lucas Herbert, who's just about to get

649
00:33:53,627 --> 00:33:55,907
Speaker 11: his round underway very shortly.

650
00:33:56,547 --> 00:33:59,347
Speaker 2: Give us the all important conditions and the outlook for

651
00:33:59,387 --> 00:34:00,307
Speaker 2: the next four hours or so.

652
00:34:01,227 --> 00:34:05,507
Speaker 11: Genuinely, everything and everything at once. We've had rain, we've

653
00:34:05,627 --> 00:34:09,987
Speaker 11: had wind, we've had blue skies, we've got black clouds overhead,

654
00:34:10,667 --> 00:34:13,427
Speaker 11: there's a little bit of ton Everything we have had

655
00:34:13,587 --> 00:34:16,747
Speaker 11: in the three rounds prior to this all in one day,

656
00:34:16,827 --> 00:34:18,667
Speaker 11: so they're going to have more than just each other

657
00:34:19,027 --> 00:34:22,347
Speaker 11: to contend with. The conditions will be difficult. Probably the

658
00:34:23,067 --> 00:34:24,547
Speaker 11: one that they don't want to see the most is

659
00:34:24,627 --> 00:34:27,907
Speaker 11: the rain. The wind for the locals is probably going

660
00:34:27,947 --> 00:34:30,227
Speaker 11: to be an advantage all right.

661
00:34:30,307 --> 00:34:33,547
Speaker 2: Well, as you say last night, Dan Hillia birdie, birdie,

662
00:34:33,587 --> 00:34:37,427
Speaker 2: par eagle birdie, that is some last five holes. Do

663
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:41,387
Speaker 2: you take momentum like that into your fourth rounds? Mike,

664
00:34:41,467 --> 00:34:43,267
Speaker 2: Do you feel as though and I know you spoke

665
00:34:43,307 --> 00:34:44,827
Speaker 2: to Daniel after the round. Do you feel us that

666
00:34:44,987 --> 00:34:47,467
Speaker 2: was given him a boost heading in today today? Not

667
00:34:47,707 --> 00:34:48,627
Speaker 2: just on the scoreboard.

668
00:34:49,307 --> 00:34:52,387
Speaker 11: I think it definitely has, but also it shows the

669
00:34:52,467 --> 00:34:54,547
Speaker 11: rest of the field what can be made up in

670
00:34:54,627 --> 00:34:58,667
Speaker 11: those final five holes, so they are playable, especially with

671
00:34:58,827 --> 00:35:01,587
Speaker 11: the seventeenth, we will see some go in the drink.

672
00:35:01,627 --> 00:35:04,587
Speaker 11: I think today it is a reachable par five and

673
00:35:04,707 --> 00:35:06,987
Speaker 11: if you get it, if you get it right, eagle's

674
00:35:07,347 --> 00:35:11,027
Speaker 11: definite possibility. So so much excitement ahead of us. Sleep

675
00:35:11,067 --> 00:35:11,987
Speaker 11: type of plays.

676
00:35:11,667 --> 00:35:14,507
Speaker 2: Out absolutely, Mike, looking forward to your reports every hour

677
00:35:14,507 --> 00:35:16,547
Speaker 2: while we're on the air. That's Mike Thorpe and Queenstown

Speaker 2: Daniel Hilly are eighteen under Curtis Luck and carry Mountcastle

680
00:35:23,747 --> 00:35:27,667
Speaker 2: seventeen under Lucas Herbert is outright fourth on sixteen under

681
00:35:28,027 --> 00:35:30,187
Speaker 2: or four of those golfers are yet to get underway

682
00:35:30,307 --> 00:35:33,907
Speaker 2: in their final rounds. Hillia Luck and Mount Castle twelve

683
00:35:34,027 --> 00:35:37,627
Speaker 2: fifty nine is their scheduled tea off time mark. Thanks

684
00:35:37,667 --> 00:35:39,387
Speaker 2: for holding no, that's.

685
00:35:39,227 --> 00:35:41,747
Speaker 16: A good pointing. Just want to say, what's a tweek

686
00:35:41,747 --> 00:35:44,707
Speaker 16: down to the rugby unit before and he just looked

687
00:35:44,707 --> 00:35:47,347
Speaker 16: at the super the truck and I'm looking good.

688
00:35:47,707 --> 00:35:54,627
Speaker 2: Definitely looked at the Trumphy. Love it, Mark, I love it, mate.

689
00:35:55,027 --> 00:35:56,747
Speaker 2: You would have been happy with that. You're the second

690
00:35:56,787 --> 00:35:59,547
Speaker 2: person I think about when I watch the Crusaders. Graham's

691
00:35:59,587 --> 00:36:02,067
Speaker 2: normally the first one who jumps into my mind, but

692
00:36:02,107 --> 00:36:03,027
Speaker 2: you're not far behind.

693
00:36:03,107 --> 00:36:03,267
Speaker 8: Mate.

694
00:36:03,267 --> 00:36:03,987
Speaker 2: You would have enjoyed that.

695
00:36:04,587 --> 00:36:04,907
Speaker 8: I did.

696
00:36:05,387 --> 00:36:09,387
Speaker 16: I was when they leave it. They had to practically

697
00:36:09,467 --> 00:36:14,707
Speaker 16: last nights before half time. They took for penal in

698
00:36:14,987 --> 00:36:18,307
Speaker 16: it just before half torn Yeah, made twenty four one

699
00:36:18,667 --> 00:36:23,667
Speaker 16: and ye that talk made the Crusader lift another gear

700
00:36:23,787 --> 00:36:26,507
Speaker 16: after half Tom you can yep, no.

701
00:36:26,627 --> 00:36:28,747
Speaker 2: Mark, I agree. I agree, And I think the Chiefs

702
00:36:28,787 --> 00:36:30,227
Speaker 2: probably won because there was a bit of a push

703
00:36:30,267 --> 00:36:32,267
Speaker 2: and shove, wasn't there. I think there was about ik

704
00:36:32,267 --> 00:36:34,627
Speaker 2: The might have been the tackle on David HARVILLI that

705
00:36:34,787 --> 00:36:38,027
Speaker 2: was I was at Jared Prophet on David Harvilly. That

706
00:36:38,187 --> 00:36:40,227
Speaker 2: was kind of was penalized for that penalty, I think,

707
00:36:40,267 --> 00:36:41,707
Speaker 2: and there was a bit of push and hubb afterwards.

708
00:36:41,907 --> 00:36:43,387
Speaker 2: Maybe there was a thought that there should have been

709
00:36:43,427 --> 00:36:46,827
Speaker 2: further sanctioned. Anyway, the Chiefs, after having dominated the first,

710
00:36:46,867 --> 00:36:49,307
Speaker 2: what twenty minutes or whatever it was, have to trudge

711
00:36:49,387 --> 00:36:52,547
Speaker 2: on halftime and they're behind, you know, I mean psychologically

712
00:36:53,547 --> 00:36:55,987
Speaker 2: you're a bit shots, aren't you. Mark Good to chat mate,

713
00:36:56,027 --> 00:36:58,467
Speaker 2: We'll see you again soon, Lauris is pinty just tuned

714
00:36:58,467 --> 00:37:00,907
Speaker 2: and has anyone touched on the state of the pitch

715
00:37:00,987 --> 00:37:04,187
Speaker 2: in Fiji for the Hurricanes draw match. You look like

716
00:37:04,227 --> 00:37:07,787
Speaker 2: an absolute mud bath. Surely Super Rugby has a standard

717
00:37:07,787 --> 00:37:10,547
Speaker 2: of pitch that all Super Rugby teams need to adhere to.

718
00:37:10,827 --> 00:37:12,827
Speaker 2: I would have thought so, Laura. I can't say too

719
00:37:12,867 --> 00:37:14,667
Speaker 2: much because it will sound like me just sour great

720
00:37:14,787 --> 00:37:18,227
Speaker 2: that the Hurricanes lost, but I agree it looked pretty Yeah,

721
00:37:18,227 --> 00:37:20,307
Speaker 2: it look pretty fairal didn't it. Thanks for your text, Laura.

722
00:37:20,387 --> 00:37:21,067
Speaker 2: You the Sherwood.

723
00:37:22,987 --> 00:37:25,547
Speaker 19: I'd just like to refer to three people and the

724
00:37:25,627 --> 00:37:30,267
Speaker 19: Crusaders set up in Rob Penny. They have a top

725
00:37:30,427 --> 00:37:34,227
Speaker 19: human being in my book, and when he was interviewed

726
00:37:34,347 --> 00:37:39,187
Speaker 19: after the game, he mentioned two quiet achievers, shayv Hackey

727
00:37:39,467 --> 00:37:44,107
Speaker 19: for his ability with the high ball and Jamie Hannah,

728
00:37:44,667 --> 00:37:49,507
Speaker 19: who's now taking the place of Scooter Barrett. Those two

729
00:37:49,627 --> 00:37:53,227
Speaker 19: guys are not mentioned very often, but I think that

730
00:37:53,827 --> 00:37:57,707
Speaker 19: as the season progresses, they'll become more and more obvious,

731
00:37:57,867 --> 00:37:59,467
Speaker 19: and they both classy.

732
00:37:59,147 --> 00:38:02,907
Speaker 2: Players very well, said Sherwood. I totally agree, and I

733
00:38:03,107 --> 00:38:05,747
Speaker 2: totally agree on Rob Penny as well. I don't know

734
00:38:05,827 --> 00:38:08,547
Speaker 2: Rob Penny all. I don't know him personally at all,

735
00:38:08,587 --> 00:38:12,147
Speaker 2: but I've spoken to him several times on the radio

736
00:38:12,227 --> 00:38:15,867
Speaker 2: and in media situations, and he is always honest. He

737
00:38:15,907 --> 00:38:18,427
Speaker 2: always fronts up. He never he never seems to refuse

738
00:38:18,467 --> 00:38:21,067
Speaker 2: a phone call even if they've lost. So yeah, good

739
00:38:21,147 --> 00:38:24,547
Speaker 2: human being. I think that's a great way of describing him.

740
00:38:24,587 --> 00:38:27,387
Speaker 2: Thank you Sherwood. Uh one one final call, j She's

741
00:38:27,387 --> 00:38:30,107
Speaker 2: going to get the final say today yeh, look.

742
00:38:30,067 --> 00:38:32,107
Speaker 20: Probably our seen in the last called just stole It.

743
00:38:32,227 --> 00:38:36,747
Speaker 20: Friday night's game was played at Cary Counties. Yeah it was, yeah,

744
00:38:36,747 --> 00:38:39,267
Speaker 20: it was what the hit was a real Why couldn't

745
00:38:39,267 --> 00:38:42,387
Speaker 20: they play there anywhere else, like over in Albany Stadium

746
00:38:42,427 --> 00:38:44,907
Speaker 20: or something. Would you have to play on a on

747
00:38:45,027 --> 00:38:48,987
Speaker 20: a field where that's not even the schoolboy rugby?

748
00:38:49,667 --> 00:38:52,427
Speaker 2: I know, yeah, Jase, you're right. I know that it

749
00:38:52,627 --> 00:38:57,067
Speaker 2: was a reason, but I don't know what the reason was. Yeah, yeah,

750
00:38:57,667 --> 00:39:00,827
Speaker 2: I mean even thanks Jay yea. Even speaking to George Bridge,

751
00:39:00,867 --> 00:39:02,907
Speaker 2: yesterday he said the same thing. Well he was quite diplomatic,

752
00:39:03,467 --> 00:39:06,827
Speaker 2: said he's played on better. But it just looked, didn't

753
00:39:06,867 --> 00:39:10,947
Speaker 2: it that that Friday night game and then yesterday in Fiji. Look,

754
00:39:10,987 --> 00:39:12,987
Speaker 2: I know it rains hard up there, doesn't it. And

755
00:39:13,067 --> 00:39:17,827
Speaker 2: it's not underheard of that that playing surfaces turn into

756
00:39:17,907 --> 00:39:20,747
Speaker 2: mud baths when it you know, you get monsoon rain.

757
00:39:20,907 --> 00:39:27,187
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Yep, again, I'll just sound like

758
00:39:27,227 --> 00:39:30,027
Speaker 2: it's sour grapes. I think the Fiji and Droid deserve

759
00:39:30,107 --> 00:39:33,067
Speaker 2: to win the game against the Hurricanes. But yeah, the

760
00:39:33,147 --> 00:39:39,027
Speaker 2: pitch made it problematic, problematic for both sites. Ate Away

761
00:39:39,067 --> 00:39:40,027
Speaker 2: from One News Talks.

762
00:39:39,787 --> 00:39:43,707
Speaker 1: EBB, the big names and the big calls on your

763
00:39:43,827 --> 00:39:48,547
Speaker 1: Home of Sport, Weekend Sport with Jason Fine, News Talks MB.

764
00:39:49,147 --> 00:39:50,747
Speaker 2: Five to one. A couple of text to mop up

765
00:39:50,947 --> 00:39:53,827
Speaker 2: car says Piney with the pitch in Latoka. Unfortunately they've

766
00:39:53,867 --> 00:39:57,147
Speaker 2: had rain in Fiji for the last four weeks. Yeah,

767
00:39:57,147 --> 00:39:59,387
Speaker 2: that's not going to be helpful. Also a text through

768
00:39:59,427 --> 00:40:02,387
Speaker 2: here from John they played a curtain raiser on that

769
00:40:03,627 --> 00:40:08,427
Speaker 2: is that true? Surely that's not true that they played

770
00:40:08,467 --> 00:40:12,787
Speaker 2: a curtain racer before that To make the pitch eighty

771
00:40:12,867 --> 00:40:18,027
Speaker 2: minutes worse than it would have been. Jeepis and Gunner says, Piney.

772
00:40:18,067 --> 00:40:20,387
Speaker 2: Congrats to the Crusaders. A couple of things stood out

773
00:40:20,547 --> 00:40:22,827
Speaker 2: in their good win. One, you need an all blacks

774
00:40:22,867 --> 00:40:23,987
Speaker 2: front row or close to it.

775
00:40:24,347 --> 00:40:24,507
Speaker 8: Two.

776
00:40:24,987 --> 00:40:28,027
Speaker 2: The professionalism to control an hour of the game twenty

777
00:40:28,027 --> 00:40:29,667
Speaker 2: one seven do out of forty three to thirty three

778
00:40:29,787 --> 00:40:33,267
Speaker 2: victory outstanding, especially after a niggly few moments at the

779
00:40:33,347 --> 00:40:35,147
Speaker 2: end of the first half. I thought the Chiefs had

780
00:40:35,187 --> 00:40:38,067
Speaker 2: it shaded in positions or jerseys four to eight, some

781
00:40:38,227 --> 00:40:40,227
Speaker 2: less than average options from our nine to ten, kicking

782
00:40:40,267 --> 00:40:42,187
Speaker 2: the ball away and the crusaderes half some of the

783
00:40:42,227 --> 00:40:44,667
Speaker 2: passing fifty to fifty at best, and discipline started to

784
00:40:44,707 --> 00:40:47,107
Speaker 2: become a factor. Demac should have been available. I know

785
00:40:47,187 --> 00:40:49,067
Speaker 2: he's a new dad, but please, we fathers know we

786
00:40:49,147 --> 00:40:52,947
Speaker 2: have to get back to work. Unfortunately, my Chiefs were

787
00:40:52,987 --> 00:40:56,147
Speaker 2: out coached and outplayed. The only silver lining is it's

788
00:40:56,187 --> 00:40:59,587
Speaker 2: only round three. Thanks Gunner. Always appreciate your articulate thoughts.

789
00:40:59,987 --> 00:41:02,747
Speaker 2: Just had a photo sent to me from a friend

790
00:41:02,787 --> 00:41:05,467
Speaker 2: of mine who was in Queenstown for the final round,

791
00:41:05,547 --> 00:41:08,267
Speaker 2: and he says, it's trying to clear up down there.

792
00:41:08,747 --> 00:41:11,707
Speaker 2: And he said it's the most people I've seen at

793
00:41:11,747 --> 00:41:14,747
Speaker 2: of New Zealand Open since Tiger in two thousand and two.

794

Speaker 2: will talk Phoenix shortly look back to Aalkland FC's one

814
00:42:18,027 --> 00:42:24,147
Speaker 2: yesterday as well. Daniel Hillier, Curtis luck and Kerry Mountcastle

815
00:42:24,347 --> 00:42:27,507
Speaker 2: are the final. I was gonna say, pairing. You can't

816
00:42:27,547 --> 00:42:29,907
Speaker 2: have a pairing of three, can you? The final trio

817
00:42:30,427 --> 00:42:33,867
Speaker 2: underway at the New Zealand Golf Open. I've just heard

818
00:42:33,947 --> 00:42:38,627
Speaker 2: news that Daniel Hillyer has flushed the first one straight

819
00:42:38,667 --> 00:42:40,547
Speaker 2: down the middle. That's a it's a positive term. I

820
00:42:40,627 --> 00:42:46,107
Speaker 2: think I just had a message to say, what does

821
00:42:46,147 --> 00:42:52,227
Speaker 2: it say? I hope it's positive. Dan flushed his first shot.

822
00:42:52,587 --> 00:42:54,347
Speaker 2: That's a that's a good thing, right, and is that

823
00:42:54,427 --> 00:42:54,827
Speaker 2: a good thing?

824
00:42:55,347 --> 00:42:57,907
Speaker 21: That's a good thing. Pinney, don't worry flushing it. You

825
00:42:57,987 --> 00:43:01,667
Speaker 21: know it's heading at flushes that running it? Yeah, yeah, absolutely,

826
00:43:01,667 --> 00:43:04,307
Speaker 21: that's it. If he was to Duffers fair shot, then

827
00:43:04,347 --> 00:43:04,987
Speaker 21: that's a problem.

828
00:43:05,387 --> 00:43:08,747
Speaker 2: No, true, I hope I'm auto correct. Hasn't kicked in

829
00:43:08,827 --> 00:43:13,547
Speaker 2: here on the message. He's not one of us.

830
00:43:13,667 --> 00:43:17,747
Speaker 21: Finally, maybe doctor shot'll be. It will be the first

831
00:43:17,787 --> 00:43:20,187
Speaker 21: time he's done one and probably a decade. I'd say, no,

832
00:43:20,307 --> 00:43:22,467
Speaker 21: you're probably right. You're probably right.

833
00:43:23,147 --> 00:43:25,387
Speaker 2: So if he set us first shot, well Let's hope

834
00:43:25,427 --> 00:43:28,667
Speaker 2: he only hits the ball another sixty two or sixty

835
00:43:28,747 --> 00:43:33,187
Speaker 2: three times today and that should be enough. Mike Thorpe

836
00:43:33,507 --> 00:43:36,107
Speaker 2: is our man in Queenstown. We're back with him this

837
00:43:36,267 --> 00:43:39,707

Speaker 2: Wellington all out four hundred and one Central thirty four

842
00:43:55,387 --> 00:43:58,947
Speaker 2: for three, so having their struggles early in their first innings.

843
00:43:58,987 --> 00:44:02,147
Speaker 2: In christ Yurgit Hackley Oval O'tigo Wall out two nine

844
00:44:02,147 --> 00:44:04,027
Speaker 2: to six, can it be one hundred and five for

847
00:44:11,307 --> 00:44:14,387
Speaker 2: one for five in reply, so that game is probably

848
00:44:14,467 --> 00:44:16,907
Speaker 2: the most advanced of the three. We'll keep eyes on

849
00:44:16,947 --> 00:44:18,787
Speaker 2: those for you, as we will on sid And Park

858
00:44:43,587 --> 00:44:47,747
Speaker 2: Ten past one, A new era begins today at Wellington

859
00:44:47,787 --> 00:44:48,827
Speaker 2: Phoenix Football Club.

860
00:44:49,747 --> 00:44:53,347
Speaker 22: To lose five neil at home, you know, with you know,

861
00:44:53,467 --> 00:44:56,747
Speaker 22: the season's thought to playfors unacceptable and I'll take full responsibility,

862
00:44:56,827 --> 00:44:58,867
Speaker 22: you know. So you know I've told the club ago

863
00:44:58,947 --> 00:45:02,907
Speaker 22: look tended my resignation and you know, I think, you know,

864
00:45:03,027 --> 00:45:05,667
Speaker 22: it's it's easier for someone to come in and just

865
00:45:06,547 --> 00:45:08,427
Speaker 22: new energy and refocus the group.

866
00:45:08,707 --> 00:45:11,747
Speaker 2: So that was last weekend after the five noil lost

867
00:45:11,787 --> 00:45:15,427
Speaker 2: to Walkland FC in the Derby. Now former head coach

868
00:45:15,547 --> 00:45:20,987
Speaker 2: John Caloertaliano, resigning club legend Chris Greenacre has taken the

869
00:45:21,067 --> 00:45:25,027
Speaker 2: reins initially ahead of just today's clash with Sydney FC

870
00:45:25,267 --> 00:45:28,707
Speaker 2: and Wellington. It's the fourth time he has taken interim

871
00:45:28,827 --> 00:45:31,467
Speaker 2: charge of the side in the middle of a season.

872
00:45:31,987 --> 00:45:35,147
Speaker 2: He of course also played with great distinction for the

873
00:45:35,187 --> 00:45:38,147
Speaker 2: club eighty three matches across three seasons. In all three

874
00:45:38,507 --> 00:45:41,187
Speaker 2: seasons that Chris Greenacre was the Phoenix player, they made

875
00:45:41,187 --> 00:45:44,707
Speaker 2: the finals. This time feels different. This time feels as

876
00:45:44,787 --> 00:45:48,467
Speaker 2: though there could be more of a permanence about the

877
00:45:48,627 --> 00:45:51,707
Speaker 2: arrangement beyond this current season. I think initially they said, look,

878
00:45:51,787 --> 00:45:53,627
Speaker 2: let's get let's get the first game out of the way.

879
00:45:54,267 --> 00:45:57,827
Speaker 2: I think after today there'll be an announcement in the

880
00:45:57,867 --> 00:46:00,067
Speaker 2: early part of next week to say that Chris Greenacre

881
00:46:00,547 --> 00:46:02,347
Speaker 2: will take the team for the rest of this season,

882
00:46:02,547 --> 00:46:08,227
Speaker 2: and negotiations are ongoing, and provided things go okay over

883
00:46:08,267 --> 00:46:12,027
Speaker 2: the last eight games of the season, I hope that

884
00:46:12,187 --> 00:46:13,667
Speaker 2: he will be off of the job on a long

885
00:46:13,747 --> 00:46:16,907
Speaker 2: term basis. There is all to can of course, I

886
00:46:16,987 --> 00:46:18,987
Speaker 2: spoke to Chris green I can win. He was appointed

887
00:46:19,027 --> 00:46:21,387
Speaker 2: to the role earlier in the week to find out

888
00:46:21,467 --> 00:46:23,107
Speaker 2: how this head all played out.

889
00:46:23,867 --> 00:46:27,507
Speaker 23: The circumstances were sort of slightly different to previously. Really,

890
00:46:27,587 --> 00:46:31,307
Speaker 23: to be honest, I think in the past it was

891
00:46:31,427 --> 00:46:34,187
Speaker 23: needs must and I was kind of the quickest fix.

892
00:46:34,747 --> 00:46:36,747
Speaker 14: But this time it was certainly different.

893
00:46:37,947 --> 00:46:38,067
Speaker 8: You know.

894
00:46:38,227 --> 00:46:40,267
Speaker 23: Sean, to be fair, said to me, look, is it

895
00:46:40,347 --> 00:46:41,867
Speaker 23: something that you would want to do? So I kind

896
00:46:41,907 --> 00:46:45,747
Speaker 23: of had the opportunity, and obviously part of you you're unsure,

897
00:46:46,587 --> 00:46:47,387
Speaker 23: like do I take it?

898
00:46:47,467 --> 00:46:47,907
Speaker 14: Do I don't?

899
00:46:49,107 --> 00:46:50,907
Speaker 23: But you know, it didn't take me very long to

900
00:46:51,027 --> 00:46:52,827
Speaker 23: sort of say, let's let's have a go of it.

901
00:46:53,747 --> 00:46:56,867
Speaker 23: I've been in the game a long time. I understand,

902
00:46:57,627 --> 00:47:00,867
Speaker 23: and I appreciate what's gone before me. Got full of

903
00:47:00,947 --> 00:47:03,627
Speaker 23: admiration for Chief and what he achieved here, all the

904
00:47:03,667 --> 00:47:07,867
Speaker 23: accolades that he had. More importantly, what he's like as

905
00:47:07,867 --> 00:47:09,747
Speaker 23: a person, and you know, he's a really good guy,

906
00:47:10,027 --> 00:47:11,707
Speaker 23: loves a game through and through.

907
00:47:13,547 --> 00:47:14,547
Speaker 14: But then in in.

908
00:47:16,187 --> 00:47:19,027
Speaker 23: Professional sport, it moves on pretty quickly and we sort

909
00:47:19,027 --> 00:47:21,867
Speaker 23: of have to move on. But from my perspective, I

910
00:47:22,067 --> 00:47:25,627
Speaker 23: just I jumped at the opportunity and and here we are, and.

911
00:47:25,707 --> 00:47:27,427
Speaker 2: We do move on because there's a game on Sunday.

912
00:47:27,707 --> 00:47:30,427
Speaker 2: So in the space of a week, where do you

913
00:47:30,547 --> 00:47:31,347
Speaker 2: place your focus?

914
00:47:32,747 --> 00:47:36,747
Speaker 23: I think the players, and I could include myself and it,

915
00:47:37,627 --> 00:47:40,187
Speaker 23: you know, forget the loss of the week and forget

916
00:47:40,227 --> 00:47:41,027
Speaker 23: it was a derby and.

917
00:47:41,027 --> 00:47:41,987
Speaker 14: All that kind of stuff.

918
00:47:42,907 --> 00:47:45,867
Speaker 23: I think as a some professionally, you want to give

919
00:47:45,947 --> 00:47:48,347
Speaker 23: everything that you've got, and I think we we we

920
00:47:48,467 --> 00:47:50,387
Speaker 23: as a club, want to get some pride back that's

921
00:47:50,467 --> 00:47:51,347
Speaker 23: really really important.

922
00:47:51,427 --> 00:47:54,467
Speaker 14: Pride in the badge probabe, pride of playing for this club.

923
00:47:55,387 --> 00:47:58,787
Speaker 23: Give the fans something to really scream about and get,

924
00:47:59,107 --> 00:48:02,947
Speaker 23: you know, fans in the stadium, so you know, forget

925
00:48:02,987 --> 00:48:05,027
Speaker 23: about the result. It's about getting some pride back and

926
00:48:05,227 --> 00:48:07,067
Speaker 23: and and some belief and some trust.

927
00:48:07,107 --> 00:48:08,067
Speaker 14: Again, I think, what.

928
00:48:08,107 --> 00:48:09,987
Speaker 2: Does it look like in practical terms, Granny, you know

929
00:48:10,147 --> 00:48:13,467
Speaker 2: you say you restore pride. It's almost a bit of

930
00:48:13,507 --> 00:48:15,787
Speaker 2: a It's a vague concept, doesn't it. What does it

931
00:48:15,827 --> 00:48:16,947
Speaker 2: look like in practical terms?

932
00:48:17,027 --> 00:48:19,467
Speaker 23: I think in the simplest way, I kind of addressed

933
00:48:19,467 --> 00:48:21,827
Speaker 23: the boys and said, I've said exactly the same thing.

934
00:48:21,907 --> 00:48:23,307
Speaker 14: So I'm not hiding behind anything.

935
00:48:24,387 --> 00:48:27,347
Speaker 23: When you're playing Europe and you're playing Saturday Tuesday, if

936
00:48:27,387 --> 00:48:30,387
Speaker 23: you don't have a successful performance or a result goes

937
00:48:30,427 --> 00:48:32,867
Speaker 23: against you, you've got a couple of days to kind

938
00:48:32,867 --> 00:48:34,667
Speaker 23: of try and fix it. We have a little bit

939
00:48:34,707 --> 00:48:37,267
Speaker 23: longer in this part of the world, and so you

940
00:48:37,387 --> 00:48:39,667
Speaker 23: can't really wait for the next game to come around.

941
00:48:39,787 --> 00:48:41,067
Speaker 14: It can't come around quick enough.

942
00:48:41,907 --> 00:48:44,587
Speaker 23: And then that it's just your your professional pride of Actually,

943
00:48:44,987 --> 00:48:46,947
Speaker 23: you know, there'll be moments in the games when the

944
00:48:47,027 --> 00:48:49,707
Speaker 23: players have looked at their own performance and gone.

945
00:48:49,587 --> 00:48:50,507
Speaker 14: Actually that was okay.

946
00:48:51,307 --> 00:48:53,227
Speaker 23: Other parts I could have been better, And it's about

947
00:48:53,267 --> 00:48:54,947
Speaker 23: trying to fix the bits that you can do better

948
00:48:54,947 --> 00:48:57,027
Speaker 23: because the stuff that they did well or they thought

949
00:48:57,067 --> 00:48:58,787
Speaker 23: they did well, we need to keep building on that.

950
00:48:58,947 --> 00:49:02,267
Speaker 23: So that's kind of a simple, you know, message to

951
00:49:02,347 --> 00:49:05,827
Speaker 23: the boys, and they've certainly adapted to that and done that.

952
00:49:05,907 --> 00:49:06,307
Speaker 14: In training.

953
00:49:06,707 --> 00:49:09,547
Speaker 2: There's some deanentered pride, somedingted confidence, some denner legos here

954
00:49:09,627 --> 00:49:12,147
Speaker 2: no doubt, have you hit to addressed that sort of thing,

955
00:49:12,227 --> 00:49:14,827
Speaker 2: and I mean, do you have time to build guys up?

956
00:49:15,547 --> 00:49:17,667
Speaker 14: I think I can really tell you there are a

957
00:49:17,667 --> 00:49:18,747
Speaker 14: really good group of players.

958
00:49:18,787 --> 00:49:20,747
Speaker 23: And it's easy for me to say, oh yeah, they're

959
00:49:20,747 --> 00:49:22,387
Speaker 23: a good group of players and they love it because

960
00:49:22,387 --> 00:49:25,467
Speaker 23: that's just cliche and that's what everyone says. But there's

961
00:49:25,507 --> 00:49:30,267
Speaker 23: a real type togetherness of the group in all honesty.

962
00:49:30,667 --> 00:49:33,307
Speaker 23: I mean, training yesterday was a little bit more competitive

963
00:49:33,347 --> 00:49:37,627
Speaker 23: than I actually liked. So that chose to me straight

964
00:49:37,707 --> 00:49:41,427
Speaker 23: away that every single player that squad cares. They do care.

965
00:49:41,667 --> 00:49:44,707
Speaker 23: And I've been an armchair supporter obviously when the team.

966
00:49:44,787 --> 00:49:46,947
Speaker 23: I'm at the stadium watching the games, and I got

967
00:49:46,987 --> 00:49:48,987
Speaker 23: to poor rule and I watched the girls playing and

968
00:49:49,267 --> 00:49:53,467
Speaker 23: I'm an armchair fan when we're overseas, but I can

969
00:49:53,547 --> 00:49:56,827
Speaker 23: tell you they care. Trust me, they care. And I

970
00:49:56,907 --> 00:49:59,947
Speaker 23: think when you've got those ingredients, anything can happen. So

971
00:50:00,787 --> 00:50:03,787
Speaker 23: we've got a really good opportunity with Sydney, you know,

972
00:50:03,867 --> 00:50:07,267
Speaker 23: if he's done a terrific job there. They're playing some

973
00:50:07,347 --> 00:50:10,227
Speaker 23: good football. But it's a great game for us to

974
00:50:10,307 --> 00:50:14,307
Speaker 23: get ourselves up up for and and and really get

975
00:50:14,387 --> 00:50:16,707
Speaker 23: as I say, get some pride back into this badge

976
00:50:17,067 --> 00:50:17,267
Speaker 23: and what.

977
00:50:17,347 --> 00:50:20,907
Speaker 2: Are your own personal ambitions? As a coach said in

978
00:50:20,987 --> 00:50:23,987
Speaker 2: all of this, this hasn't really changed for me.

979
00:50:25,147 --> 00:50:27,827
Speaker 23: I've never been in a rush to get to wherever

980
00:50:27,947 --> 00:50:30,787
Speaker 23: the end may be, and then I'm literally taking it

981
00:50:30,947 --> 00:50:33,627
Speaker 23: day by day. And that's that's the truth. Even when

982
00:50:33,667 --> 00:50:37,147
Speaker 23: I was the reserve team coach, I still see myself

983
00:50:37,187 --> 00:50:40,867
Speaker 23: as that guy. So from a personal perspective, that hasn't

984
00:50:40,867 --> 00:50:46,027
Speaker 23: really changed. Again, how this pans out, who knows, who knows,

985
00:50:46,107 --> 00:50:49,387
Speaker 23: but obviously we'll give it the best best chance we can.

986
00:50:50,547 --> 00:50:54,267
Speaker 23: The club have been really loyal to me and giving

987
00:50:54,307 --> 00:50:58,227
Speaker 23: me an opportunity to kind of grow. And as I say,

988
00:50:58,227 --> 00:50:59,827
Speaker 23: I've never I haven't been in a rush to get

989
00:50:59,867 --> 00:51:03,027
Speaker 23: to this point. You hear stories of you know, people

990
00:51:03,107 --> 00:51:05,747
Speaker 23: want to progress really quickly by doing things that are

991
00:51:05,787 --> 00:51:09,227
Speaker 23: not so you know, aligned to everything.

992
00:51:09,627 --> 00:51:10,707
Speaker 14: That hasn't been the case for me.

993
00:51:11,387 --> 00:51:13,987
Speaker 23: And the club have been patient, but I think we've

994
00:51:14,027 --> 00:51:15,987
Speaker 23: also been loyal to each other, which is I think

995
00:51:16,227 --> 00:51:19,267
Speaker 23: kind of quite fitting. And so, yeah, I've been here

996
00:51:19,267 --> 00:51:22,067
Speaker 23: a long time and I don't sound cliche, but it

997
00:51:22,187 --> 00:51:25,707
Speaker 23: feels like this is my club. I've almost been here

998
00:51:25,747 --> 00:51:28,227
Speaker 23: as long as I've spent time in my family home

999
00:51:28,307 --> 00:51:31,627
Speaker 23: as a kid, So it's home from home. And I

1000
00:51:31,747 --> 00:51:34,347
Speaker 23: want to be successful here. Whether I'm the long term

1001
00:51:34,747 --> 00:51:37,667
Speaker 23: answer or not, I want to be successful here. It

1002
00:51:37,787 --> 00:51:39,987
Speaker 23: isn't a flying the ointment for me. I want to

1003
00:51:40,027 --> 00:51:42,267
Speaker 23: be successful. I don't want to go anywhere else. I

1004
00:51:42,347 --> 00:51:45,067
Speaker 23: want to be successful here. And you know, maybe that's

1005
00:51:45,107 --> 00:51:47,867
Speaker 23: a point of difference. I don't know, But as I say,

1006
00:51:47,907 --> 00:51:50,547
Speaker 23: I'm proud to be stood here, I'm proud to have

1007
00:51:50,627 --> 00:51:52,507
Speaker 23: been associated with his club for such a long time.

1008
00:51:53,267 --> 00:51:56,467
Speaker 14: And yeah, it's again who knows what happens?

1009
00:51:56,587 --> 00:51:59,307
Speaker 2: Who knows what happens? And there is Chris Greenacre the

1010
00:51:59,787 --> 00:52:04,747
Speaker 2: new interim for the meantime anyway, head coach of Wellington Phoenix.

1011
00:52:04,867 --> 00:52:08,387
Speaker 2: He's very impressive. He's been around the club for a

1012
00:52:08,467 --> 00:52:11,507
Speaker 2: long time. As I say, he first arrived in Wellington

1013
00:52:11,547 --> 00:52:15,107
Speaker 2: as a player in mid two thousand and nine, played

1014
00:52:15,107 --> 00:52:19,227
Speaker 2: the nine, ten, ten, eleven and eleven twelve seasons with

1015
00:52:19,387 --> 00:52:24,707
Speaker 2: Wellington eighty three games during those three seasons. Was highly

1016
00:52:24,827 --> 00:52:28,747
Speaker 2: regarded for his selflessness and the fact that he would

1017
00:52:28,827 --> 00:52:31,667
Speaker 2: do a lot of running. Paul Eifel, who is one

1018
00:52:31,667 --> 00:52:35,547
Speaker 2: of the Phoenix's greatest ever players, often says that a

1019
00:52:35,747 --> 00:52:38,907
Speaker 2: huge part of his success was down to the unseen

1020
00:52:39,067 --> 00:52:43,507
Speaker 2: work that Chris Greenacre did in partnership with him. Following

1021
00:52:43,547 --> 00:52:45,867
Speaker 2: his playing days, he moved into coaching. He was an

1022
00:52:45,907 --> 00:52:49,587
Speaker 2: assistant to Ricky Herbert in the twenty twelve thirteen season.

1023
00:52:50,707 --> 00:52:54,947
Speaker 2: Late in that season, Ricky Herbert resigned and Chris Greenaker

1024
00:52:54,987 --> 00:52:56,627
Speaker 2: took over for the first time, and as I say,

1025
00:52:56,667 --> 00:52:59,547
Speaker 2: he's done that another couple of times in the time since.

1026
00:52:59,587 --> 00:53:03,787
Speaker 2: When Ernie Merrick resigned mid season, Chris Greenacre and Des

1027
00:53:03,867 --> 00:53:07,787
Speaker 2: Buckingham in combination took over. And when darry A Kaligic

1028
00:53:08,427 --> 00:53:10,547
Speaker 2: left with the half a dozen games or so to

1029
00:53:10,627 --> 00:53:15,787
Speaker 2: go at the end of the twenty seventeen eighteen season

1030
00:53:15,827 --> 00:53:18,707
Speaker 2: that would have been again. It was Chris Greenacre who

1031
00:53:18,747 --> 00:53:21,867
Speaker 2: stepped into the breach and so it is again. And

1032
00:53:21,947 --> 00:53:26,867
Speaker 2: as I said, I just hope that this is more permanent.

1033
00:53:27,827 --> 00:53:29,507
Speaker 2: Of course, we can't predict what will happen over the

1034
00:53:29,547 --> 00:53:32,507
Speaker 2: next eight games. Wellington are still well and truly in

1035
00:53:32,627 --> 00:53:36,427
Speaker 2: the conversation for top six. It seems remarkable to say

1036
00:53:36,467 --> 00:53:39,387
Speaker 2: when they've only won five games this season, but with

1037
00:53:39,507 --> 00:53:42,867
Speaker 2: the table so tight, it is not beyond the realms

1038
00:53:42,907 --> 00:53:44,827
Speaker 2: of possibility that they could make a run at it.

1039
00:53:44,947 --> 00:53:47,427
Speaker 2: And you often get a bit of a bounce, don't

1040
00:53:47,467 --> 00:53:51,787
Speaker 2: you After a coach resigns, the playing group of it down.

1041
00:53:51,947 --> 00:53:55,747
Speaker 2: Somebody comes in with a fresh voice, fresh ideas, and

1042
00:53:56,187 --> 00:54:00,587
Speaker 2: immediately there is an uptick in enthusiasm. Let's hope that

1043
00:54:00,947 --> 00:54:03,907
Speaker 2: is what happens this afternoon. In the first instance, when

1044
00:54:04,027 --> 00:54:09,027
Speaker 2: Wellington welcomes Sydney FC to what is now called Henry Stadium.

1045
00:54:09,067 --> 00:54:10,627
Speaker 2: It's the first of March today, isn't it. It is

1046
00:54:11,387 --> 00:54:14,227
Speaker 2: new sponsor for the stadium in Wellington. Henry Stadium is

1047
00:54:14,267 --> 00:54:17,907
Speaker 2: what we call it now, and ironically enough, a former

1048
00:54:17,987 --> 00:54:21,347
Speaker 2: Phoenix head coach in Ufuk Talay, will be here in

1049
00:54:21,547 --> 00:54:24,907
Speaker 2: charge of Sydney FC, and what of the players, how

1050
00:54:25,027 --> 00:54:26,907
Speaker 2: have they reacted to all of this. Captain of the

1051
00:54:26,947 --> 00:54:30,147
Speaker 2: Wellington Phoenix men's side is Alex Rufer. I spoke to

1052
00:54:30,227 --> 00:54:32,907
Speaker 2: him during the week as well about what the events

1053
00:54:32,987 --> 00:54:36,147
Speaker 2: of last weekend had been like in how challenging a

1054
00:54:36,267 --> 00:54:39,027
Speaker 2: time it had been for he and for his fellow players.

1055
00:54:39,307 --> 00:54:43,827
Speaker 24: I look after the result, as you could expect, very disappointed,

1056
00:54:44,187 --> 00:54:48,667
Speaker 24: and they never see the coach resigning and leaving. It's

1057
00:54:48,667 --> 00:54:51,707
Speaker 24: obviously something that the playing group didn't expect. But look,

1058
00:54:52,467 --> 00:54:54,107
Speaker 24: all we can focus on is the next game, in

1059
00:54:54,147 --> 00:54:56,427
Speaker 24: the next training and the mentality shift has been good.

1060
00:54:56,987 --> 00:55:00,027
Speaker 24: The reaction has been positive and training has been very intense,

1061
00:55:00,107 --> 00:55:00,947
Speaker 24: so that's been positive.

1062
00:55:01,387 --> 00:55:03,707
Speaker 2: What sort of messaging did you get from the club

1063
00:55:03,947 --> 00:55:05,947
Speaker 2: on the Sunday the day after when they let you know.

1064
00:55:06,067 --> 00:55:08,467
Speaker 2: I think you obviously found out Saturday night that Chief

1065
00:55:08,507 --> 00:55:10,107
Speaker 2: he was leaving. What sort of messaging did you get

1066
00:55:10,147 --> 00:55:12,547
Speaker 2: from the club on Sunday and to this week?

1067
00:55:13,747 --> 00:55:15,867
Speaker 24: Oh, look, we were just told that obviously Chief had

1068
00:55:15,907 --> 00:55:19,387
Speaker 24: resigned and that Greenie was coming in to take his

1069
00:55:19,467 --> 00:55:22,307
Speaker 24: place and take the club moving forward for the rest

1070
00:55:22,347 --> 00:55:24,907
Speaker 24: of the season. So it was pretty short and sharp.

1071
00:55:25,867 --> 00:55:29,107
Speaker 24: You know, we know as players, like I said, we

1072
00:55:29,227 --> 00:55:32,547
Speaker 24: need to have a good response and that's going to

1073
00:55:32,627 --> 00:55:33,227
Speaker 24: come on Sunday.

1074
00:55:33,587 --> 00:55:35,227
Speaker 2: What sort of emotions do you go through when you

1075
00:55:35,387 --> 00:55:37,147
Speaker 2: when your coach resigns mid season.

1076
00:55:38,747 --> 00:55:40,387
Speaker 24: What's a bit of a roller coaster to be honest,

1077
00:55:40,427 --> 00:55:43,147
Speaker 24: I think everyone's immediate response after the game was the

1078
00:55:43,187 --> 00:55:46,347
Speaker 24: disappointment of the of the result and then to see

1079
00:55:46,387 --> 00:55:48,907
Speaker 24: that obviously it was you know it was it was

1080
00:55:48,987 --> 00:55:53,907
Speaker 24: a hurtful sort of feeling and a sad feeling, but

1081
00:55:54,027 --> 00:55:56,387
Speaker 24: again in football, the beauty of football was you know,

1082
00:55:56,427 --> 00:55:58,827
Speaker 24: you've got next week to bounce back, and like I said,

1083
00:55:58,867 --> 00:56:01,867
Speaker 24: the focus has been on training and making sure that

1084
00:56:01,987 --> 00:56:03,387
Speaker 24: we show a good response.

1085
00:56:03,667 --> 00:56:05,907
Speaker 2: And Chris greenac has come in as as coach for

1086
00:56:06,027 --> 00:56:08,267
Speaker 2: this week anyway and presumably for the rest of the season.

1087
00:56:08,587 --> 00:56:10,707
Speaker 2: What sort of messages has he been giving you and

1088
00:56:10,787 --> 00:56:13,507
Speaker 2: what does what's he been asking the view as you

1089
00:56:13,627 --> 00:56:16,227
Speaker 2: look towards Sydney on Sunday, Just.

1090
00:56:16,347 --> 00:56:17,227
Speaker 24: It's all about pride.

1091
00:56:17,867 --> 00:56:18,027
Speaker 9: You know.

1092
00:56:18,107 --> 00:56:21,187
Speaker 24: He's come in and he's wanted to, you know, instill

1093
00:56:21,187 --> 00:56:23,787
Speaker 24: a bit of positivity back into the group, a bit

1094
00:56:23,827 --> 00:56:26,547
Speaker 24: of energy, which has been really good. And I think.

1095
00:56:27,307 --> 00:56:28,787
Speaker 24: You know, I've known Greenny for a long time and

1096
00:56:28,827 --> 00:56:32,667
Speaker 24: he's come in. It's been really short, sharp, good, intense trainings,

1097
00:56:32,947 --> 00:56:37,147
Speaker 24: rarely basic, clear communication. He's not asking too much from

1098
00:56:37,187 --> 00:56:39,747
Speaker 24: the players. All he's asking for is a positive response,

1099
00:56:39,827 --> 00:56:41,867
Speaker 24: like I've said, and I think we'll get that.

1100
00:56:41,987 --> 00:56:44,027
Speaker 2: But what was it like in the playing group towards

1101
00:56:44,107 --> 00:56:47,067
Speaker 2: the end of Chief's tenure, you know, can you can

1102
00:56:47,147 --> 00:56:49,467
Speaker 2: you talk about what it was like, you know, in

1103
00:56:49,547 --> 00:56:50,467
Speaker 2: the last month or so.

1104
00:56:51,907 --> 00:56:53,947
Speaker 24: Look, it was it was just business as usual. It

1105
00:56:54,067 --> 00:56:56,347
Speaker 24: was normal as players. You don't think about all those

1106
00:56:56,387 --> 00:56:59,307
Speaker 24: external things and you have to focus on what's most important,

1107
00:56:59,307 --> 00:57:02,907
Speaker 24: and that's the weekend, that's the games. So honestly, there

1108
00:57:02,987 --> 00:57:06,627
Speaker 24: was no thought about any any of that external stuff

1109
00:57:06,667 --> 00:57:11,267
Speaker 24: that's obviously happened post Auckland. But the focus has been good,

1110
00:57:12,507 --> 00:57:16,587
Speaker 24: the turnaround has been good, and I'm happy at the

1111
00:57:16,627 --> 00:57:18,187
Speaker 24: moment with what's happening this week.

1112
00:57:18,387 --> 00:57:21,307
Speaker 2: Challenging game for everybody, but josh Ola Wamey in particular,

1113
00:57:21,427 --> 00:57:25,107
Speaker 2: with a very high profile mistake to start with a

1114
00:57:25,187 --> 00:57:28,067
Speaker 2: mixed first half. Have you had to wrap any particular

1115
00:57:28,147 --> 00:57:29,507
Speaker 2: support around him this week?

1116
00:57:30,467 --> 00:57:33,227
Speaker 24: Yeah, Look, it was you know, it was a like

1117
00:57:33,627 --> 00:57:34,227
Speaker 24: everyone saw it.

1118
00:57:34,587 --> 00:57:35,787
Speaker 16: It was a poor error.

1119
00:57:36,507 --> 00:57:39,267
Speaker 24: But look, we've of course, we've rallied around him. He's

1120
00:57:39,267 --> 00:57:41,347
Speaker 24: a top guy, and you know, he's a human at

1121
00:57:41,347 --> 00:57:43,067
Speaker 24: the end of the day, and he was copping a

1122
00:57:43,107 --> 00:57:45,387
Speaker 24: lot of abuse and a lot of stick on social media.

1123
00:57:45,467 --> 00:57:47,347
Speaker 24: So look, we've rallied around him and his response has

1124
00:57:47,387 --> 00:57:50,227
Speaker 24: been really positive. So that's been good, you know, And

1125
00:57:50,347 --> 00:57:52,667
Speaker 24: he feels loved, loved and supported from the team, which

1126
00:57:52,707 --> 00:57:54,667
Speaker 24: I think is very powerful.

1127
00:57:54,987 --> 00:57:56,787
Speaker 2: And I'm not sure whether this was lost in translation

1128
00:57:56,947 --> 00:57:58,347
Speaker 2: or not, but we spoke to Gilly earlier in the

1129
00:57:58,387 --> 00:58:01,067
Speaker 2: week and he suggested that perhaps some players had their

1130
00:58:01,107 --> 00:58:03,667
Speaker 2: eyes on the World Cup rather than the A League.

1131
00:58:03,907 --> 00:58:05,307
Speaker 2: Do you have any response to that.

1132
00:58:06,467 --> 00:58:10,187
Speaker 24: Oh, look, I understand what he's meaning. I don't think

1133
00:58:10,227 --> 00:58:12,987
Speaker 24: he was meaning. Maybe it was lost in translation a

1134
00:58:13,027 --> 00:58:17,427
Speaker 24: little bit. But every player here that I know of

1135
00:58:17,627 --> 00:58:21,867
Speaker 24: is focused on performing well here first and foremost, because

1136
00:58:21,867 --> 00:58:23,867
Speaker 24: you know that if you perform well here, that gives

1137
00:58:23,867 --> 00:58:25,827
Speaker 24: you the best opportunity to be selected for the World

1138
00:58:25,867 --> 00:58:30,227
Speaker 24: Cup team. So look, as far as I'm concerned, every

1139
00:58:30,267 --> 00:58:32,787
Speaker 24: single player that is up for selection for that team

1140
00:58:32,907 --> 00:58:35,707
Speaker 24: is only focused on performing well here at wellingson Phoenix.

1141
00:58:35,827 --> 00:58:38,987
Speaker 2: That's the voice of Wellington Phoenix captain Alex Rufer, who

1142
00:58:38,987 --> 00:58:41,387
Speaker 2: will lead a side into battle this afternoon against Sydney

1143
00:58:41,547 --> 00:58:43,947
Speaker 2: FC at Henry Stadium, got to get used to saying that.

1144
00:58:44,387 --> 00:58:47,027
Speaker 2: From just after three o'clock this afternoon, one twenty four,

1145
00:58:47,027 --> 00:58:49,067
Speaker 2: it is Phoenix fans. Maybe you're on your way to

1146
00:58:49,107 --> 00:58:53,787
Speaker 2: the game. Maybe you're right, you're headed along. I'm more

1147
00:58:53,827 --> 00:58:56,907
Speaker 2: than anything curious to see what the response is like

1148
00:58:56,987 --> 00:59:01,347
Speaker 2: I say, you often get a positive response in situations

1149
00:59:01,467 --> 00:59:03,907
Speaker 2: like this a team that's been going through tough times.

1150
00:59:04,067 --> 00:59:07,107
Speaker 2: Often it's the coach who carries the cam, and this

1151
00:59:07,307 --> 00:59:10,947
Speaker 2: is the case here Gian Calotaliano has departed. He resigned,

1152
00:59:11,027 --> 00:59:13,987
Speaker 2: but Sean Gill made it pretty obvious earlier in the

1153
00:59:14,027 --> 00:59:15,787
Speaker 2: week as well, the Director of Football that had he

1154
00:59:15,907 --> 00:59:17,987
Speaker 2: not resigned, then that decision would have been made, so

1155
00:59:18,387 --> 00:59:20,907
Speaker 2: one while or the other, there was going to be

1156
00:59:20,987 --> 00:59:25,827
Speaker 2: a change in the head coaching role. So it is

1157
00:59:26,027 --> 00:59:29,947
Speaker 2: not uncommon at all in situations like this for the

1158
00:59:30,027 --> 00:59:32,427
Speaker 2: team who has been gone through a bit of a

1159
00:59:32,507 --> 00:59:36,627
Speaker 2: rough patch to have a real bounce back, to be reinvigorated,

1160
00:59:36,707 --> 00:59:40,627
Speaker 2: re energized, to want to play for their new coach.

1161
00:59:40,747 --> 00:59:44,747
Speaker 2: And it also reinvigorates a playing group that perhaps there

1162
00:59:44,787 --> 00:59:47,747
Speaker 2: are guys there who up until now thought, well, I'm

1163
00:59:47,747 --> 00:59:50,427
Speaker 2: not really going to get a game the coach. I'm

1164
00:59:50,427 --> 00:59:52,867
Speaker 2: not part of his plans. He hasn't picked me. I'm

1165
00:59:52,907 --> 00:59:54,787
Speaker 2: not playing a lot of minutes that sort of stuff.

1166
00:59:55,067 --> 00:59:57,307
Speaker 2: It's a clean slate now. They would have all come

1167
00:59:57,347 --> 01:00:00,387
Speaker 2: into training this week with you know, high optimism that

1168
01:00:00,467 --> 01:00:03,187
Speaker 2: they can be involved in the back end of this season.

1169
01:00:04,507 --> 01:00:06,467
Speaker 2: Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty Phoenix fan, if

1170
01:00:06,467 --> 01:00:08,547
Speaker 2: you want to just you know, give us your gauge

1171
01:00:08,587 --> 01:00:12,787
Speaker 2: on it nine two nine two for text messages. No

1172
01:00:12,947 --> 01:00:17,387
Speaker 2: such problems for Auckland FC. They are flying again after

1173
01:00:17,467 --> 01:00:21,547
Speaker 2: a very for them anyway, uncharacteristic January where they only

1174
01:00:21,587 --> 01:00:24,107
Speaker 2: won one out of their six matches. They beat Melbourne

1175
01:00:24,147 --> 01:00:27,947
Speaker 2: City defending champions yesterday Go Media three NILT and are

1176
01:00:27,987 --> 01:00:30,427
Speaker 2: now knocking on the door of top spot again. So

1177
01:00:30,547 --> 01:00:32,627
Speaker 2: we'll get inside their camp in the next little while too.

1178
01:00:33,347 --> 01:00:34,627
Speaker 2: But if you want to talk some Phoenix O. One

1179
01:00:34,707 --> 01:00:38,267
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number just checking

1180
01:00:38,307 --> 01:00:41,067
Speaker 2: on the leaderboard at the New Zealand Golf Open. No

1181
01:00:41,387 --> 01:00:44,547
Speaker 2: score through yet for the first hole for Daniel Hillier,

1182
01:00:44,667 --> 01:00:48,107
Speaker 2: Curtis Luck and carry Mountcastle. They're the last three to go.

1183
01:00:48,267 --> 01:00:53,187
Speaker 2: But Lucas Herbert, who was sixteen under to start the day,

1184
01:00:53,267 --> 01:00:55,667
Speaker 2: has picked up a shot on the first hole. He's

1185
01:00:55,707 --> 01:00:58,107
Speaker 2: birdied the first and he is now seventeen under as well,

1186
01:00:58,187 --> 01:01:01,507
Speaker 2: so there's a three way tie for second. Herbert, Luck

1187
01:01:01,587 --> 01:01:05,267
Speaker 2: and Mount Castle one shot behind Daniel Hillyer, the outright

1188
01:01:05,387 --> 01:01:08,067
Speaker 2: leader at eighteen under. As I say, we heard a

1189
01:01:08,147 --> 01:01:11,387
Speaker 2: short time ago that it had flushed his first shot

1190
01:01:11,507 --> 01:01:14,227
Speaker 2: right down the middle. So that continues. We'll get you

1191
01:01:14,307 --> 01:01:18,107
Speaker 2: to Mike Thorpe and Queenstown before two o'clock. After two

1192
01:01:18,147 --> 01:01:21,267
Speaker 2: as well, Chad townshend out of Vegas. The NRL season

1193
01:01:21,347 --> 01:01:26,547
Speaker 2: starts today with two matches at Allegiant Stadium. Former Warriors

1194
01:01:26,587 --> 01:01:29,747
Speaker 2: half back Chad townsenders in Vegas. He's going to give us,

1195
01:01:30,387 --> 01:01:32,627
Speaker 2: give us a taste of the vibe after two o'clock.

1196
01:01:32,747 --> 01:01:34,467
Speaker 2: This is Weekend Sport on News Talks. It be one

1197
01:01:34,587 --> 01:01:36,187
Speaker 2: twenty seven back after this.

1198
01:01:36,907 --> 01:01:40,587
Speaker 1: If it matters in sports, it matters here. Weekend Sport

1199
01:01:40,787 --> 01:01:45,107
Speaker 1: with Jason Pine and GJ. Gudnomes, New Zealand's most trusted

1200
01:01:45,187 --> 01:01:45,707
Speaker 1: home builder.

1201
01:01:45,907 --> 01:01:48,827
Speaker 2: News Talks at B. It's one thirty on news talks

1202
01:01:48,827 --> 01:01:51,347
Speaker 2: there B. This is weekend sport where you're watching the golf,

1203
01:01:51,427 --> 01:01:53,627
Speaker 2: says Mars. I'm not watching it. I'm just just following

1204
01:01:53,667 --> 01:01:58,947
Speaker 2: it online. Mars, just following the leader board and trying

1205
01:01:58,987 --> 01:02:01,787
Speaker 2: to sort of paint that picture. So you're not watching

1206
01:02:01,827 --> 01:02:07,027
Speaker 2: on TV. I'm doing I haven't got divided. Just don't worry.

1207
01:02:07,027 --> 01:02:10,267
Speaker 2: I'm just watching the leaderboard tick over here. We'll keep

1208
01:02:10,307 --> 01:02:15,027
Speaker 2: eyes as well. On the t twenty International between the

1209
01:02:15,107 --> 01:02:18,307
Speaker 2: White Ferns and Zimbabwe, I fear this might not go

1210
01:02:19,147 --> 01:02:22,667
Speaker 2: too long because Zimbabwe have won the toss, elected to

1211
01:02:22,827 --> 01:02:27,467
Speaker 2: bat and they're already two down for just four runs

1212
01:02:28,107 --> 01:02:32,107
Speaker 2: after three overs. So the other two games were very

1213
01:02:32,227 --> 01:02:38,307
Speaker 2: one sided, the White Ferns winning both by plenty of

1214
01:02:38,427 --> 01:02:41,827
Speaker 2: runs and I think only losing two wickets across the

1215
01:02:41,907 --> 01:02:44,427
Speaker 2: two games. They were only one down in each of

1216
01:02:44,507 --> 01:02:48,627
Speaker 2: those two games. Zimbabwe have batted first here upon winning

1217
01:02:48,667 --> 01:02:52,067
Speaker 2: the toss. They're now three down. They've just lost their

1218
01:02:52,227 --> 01:02:55,827
Speaker 2: third wicket and we're only in the fourth over. Zimbabwe

1219
01:02:55,907 --> 01:03:01,507
Speaker 2: are four for three. Jess Kerr's got a wicket, Nancy

1220
01:03:01,547 --> 01:03:04,467
Speaker 2: Patel's got a wicket, and there has been a runout

1221
01:03:04,507 --> 01:03:08,507
Speaker 2: as well, So Zimbabwe four for the loss of three

1222
01:03:08,947 --> 01:03:13,307
Speaker 2: and we're just into the fourth over. This game might

1223
01:03:13,347 --> 01:03:16,387
Speaker 2: be over before our showers. Twenty nine away from two,

1224
01:03:16,547 --> 01:03:19,627
Speaker 2: Auckland FC have moved to within two points of the

1225
01:03:19,667 --> 01:03:22,547
Speaker 2: Newcastle Jets at the top of the A League Men's

1226
01:03:22,547 --> 01:03:25,707
Speaker 2: Football Ladder. The Jets eight game winning runners come to

1227
01:03:25,787 --> 01:03:30,027
Speaker 2: an end and nil all draw against their local rivals

1228
01:03:30,067 --> 01:03:33,987
Speaker 2: the Central Coast Mariners last night, Auckland FC thumping defending

1229
01:03:34,067 --> 01:03:36,787
Speaker 2: champions Melbourne City three nil in Auckland. Here are some

1230
01:03:36,867 --> 01:03:39,667
Speaker 2: of the post match thoughts of head coach Steve Corriker.

1231
01:03:40,347 --> 01:03:45,267
Speaker 25: Well after January, Yeah, we had this discussion already.

1232
01:03:45,387 --> 01:03:45,547
Speaker 9: You know.

1233
01:03:45,987 --> 01:03:47,907
Speaker 25: Last season was much the same and then we went

1234
01:03:47,947 --> 01:03:50,587
Speaker 25: on a really good run. Really please awhere we go

1235
01:03:50,667 --> 01:03:53,827
Speaker 25: on for three wins and are draining the last four games.

1236
01:03:53,867 --> 01:03:57,267
Speaker 25: So it's very positive and moving forward. But pleasing thing

1237
01:03:57,467 --> 01:04:01,707
Speaker 25: is stunned to score more goals, son look more dangerous,

1238
01:04:02,387 --> 01:04:05,307
Speaker 25: but also starting to keep clean sheets, which you know,

1239
01:04:05,467 --> 01:04:07,307
Speaker 25: doing both of them at the moment is it is

1240
01:04:07,387 --> 01:04:07,787
Speaker 25: really good.

1241
01:04:07,987 --> 01:04:10,667
Speaker 2: The scorer of the first goal yesterday was Logan Rogerson,

1242
01:04:10,707 --> 01:04:13,187
Speaker 2: who hadn't scored a goal all season. It had been

1243
01:04:13,227 --> 01:04:17,387
Speaker 2: a rather long and worrying drought for Logan Rogerson. So

1244
01:04:17,467 --> 01:04:19,907
Speaker 2: how pleased with Steve Coricker to see him back on

1245
01:04:19,987 --> 01:04:20,827
Speaker 2: the score sheet.

1246
01:04:22,427 --> 01:04:24,507
Speaker 25: You know, because see after he scored is his confidence

1247
01:04:24,627 --> 01:04:26,627
Speaker 25: was back and that was more of what we saw

1248
01:04:26,707 --> 01:04:30,347
Speaker 25: last season with him scoring goals and creating opportunities. And

1249
01:04:30,827 --> 01:04:33,067
Speaker 25: the one thing he always does is is work hard

1250
01:04:33,107 --> 01:04:35,187
Speaker 25: for the team and he did that again today and

1251
01:04:35,187 --> 01:04:37,627
Speaker 25: I'm really pleased for him actually because he was really

1252
01:04:37,707 --> 01:04:38,707
Speaker 25: desperate to get that goal.

1253
01:04:39,827 --> 01:04:40,627
Speaker 2: All goals were good.

1254
01:04:40,547 --> 01:04:44,707
Speaker 25: Obviously, you know, Jesse again scoring. Pleased for Gushamo as

1255
01:04:44,747 --> 01:04:49,067
Speaker 25: well to continue scoring and you know making his mark

1256
01:04:49,107 --> 01:04:49,427
Speaker 25: as well.

1257
01:04:49,467 --> 01:04:50,427
Speaker 14: He's working hard as well.

1258
01:04:50,867 --> 01:04:54,547
Speaker 2: So Steph Coricker then mentioned Jesse R. Randall, who's had

1259
01:04:54,667 --> 01:04:58,627
Speaker 2: an absolutely superb season. His ninth goal yesterday, he's now

1260
01:04:58,707 --> 01:05:01,707
Speaker 2: the leading scorer not only for aukroand FC, but in

1261
01:05:01,827 --> 01:05:05,387
Speaker 2: the entire A league at this point. So Steve Coricker

1262
01:05:05,507 --> 01:05:08,027
Speaker 2: with some thoughts on on Jesse Randall's performance.

1263
01:05:08,987 --> 01:05:11,667
Speaker 25: Yeah, obviously, you know, Jesse's got to use his pace.

1264
01:05:11,707 --> 01:05:13,787
Speaker 25: He does it really well and you know Michael just

1265
01:05:14,147 --> 01:05:17,667
Speaker 25: launched one obviously and got it. Jesse got on the

1266
01:05:17,747 --> 01:05:18,027
Speaker 25: end of it.

1267
01:05:18,267 --> 01:05:19,707
Speaker 2: You know, he's quick.

1268
01:05:19,827 --> 01:05:23,267
Speaker 25: He's actually becoming a really good finisher as well now

1269
01:05:23,387 --> 01:05:27,387
Speaker 25: and you know created an opportunity for Gushamo to score

1270
01:05:27,427 --> 01:05:30,147
Speaker 25: as well. So he's doing everything at the moment, Jesse,

1271
01:05:30,307 --> 01:05:31,987
Speaker 25: so we wanted to continue doing that.

1272
01:05:32,227 --> 01:05:36,547
Speaker 2: And finally from Steve Coracker, Philippe Geygos, who doesn't get

1273
01:05:36,547 --> 01:05:41,307
Speaker 2: a lot of headlines. He's the Chilean midfielder for Auckland

1274
01:05:41,467 --> 01:05:43,467
Speaker 2: f C. But he was named man of the match

1275
01:05:43,987 --> 01:05:46,507
Speaker 2: in yesterday's game. So what did Steve Coricker make of

1276
01:05:46,627 --> 01:05:47,467
Speaker 2: his performance?

1277
01:05:48,027 --> 01:05:51,947
Speaker 25: He just continues his work all the time, doesn't get

1278
01:05:52,027 --> 01:05:55,467
Speaker 25: much credit, but he's just a winner.

1279
01:05:55,787 --> 01:05:55,947
Speaker 19: You know.

1280
01:05:56,067 --> 01:05:59,507
Speaker 25: He covers all the ground, gets stuck in, you know,

1281
01:05:59,587 --> 01:06:02,867
Speaker 25: gets on the ball, creates stuff for us. And yeah

1282
01:06:03,107 --> 01:06:05,307
Speaker 25: he cracked up a little bit, that's where he come off,

1283
01:06:05,387 --> 01:06:07,067
Speaker 25: but you know he prey in the game.

1284
01:06:07,267 --> 01:06:09,547
Speaker 2: That is Steve Coricker, head coach of Auckland FC. They

1285
01:06:09,667 --> 01:06:13,307
Speaker 2: were very good yesterday. It's been a bit odd twice now.

1286
01:06:13,427 --> 01:06:15,467
Speaker 2: I'm not even around for two seasons, but twice now

1287
01:06:15,547 --> 01:06:21,107
Speaker 2: they've been a bit inconsistent. In January and Steph Gorick

1288
01:06:21,147 --> 01:06:23,987
Speaker 2: has mentioned it and he said, I don't really know why.

1289
01:06:24,667 --> 01:06:27,387
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the fest of season. Not sure. Maybe it's

1290
01:06:27,427 --> 01:06:29,587
Speaker 2: the point of the season where you start picking up

1291
01:06:29,627 --> 01:06:32,987
Speaker 2: nigglie injuries and sometimes things can go against you. But

1292
01:06:33,907 --> 01:06:37,907
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, January last season wasn't wasn't great. In

1293
01:06:38,027 --> 01:06:41,467
Speaker 2: January this season was very inconsistent, just one win in six.

1294
01:06:42,067 --> 01:06:46,107
Speaker 2: But since February arrived three wins in a draw in

1295
01:06:46,187 --> 01:06:48,707
Speaker 2: their four games during the calendar month of February. Back

1296
01:06:48,787 --> 01:06:53,667
Speaker 2: up to within, as I say, two points of the leaders,

1297
01:06:53,707 --> 01:06:57,187
Speaker 2: the Newcastle Jets and looking every inch the side that

1298
01:06:57,307 --> 01:07:00,707
Speaker 2: we came to know and love last season, Phil says Pinety.

1299
01:07:00,787 --> 01:07:03,747
Speaker 2: Currently heading to the Phoenix game. They're still in it

1300
01:07:03,827 --> 01:07:07,827
Speaker 2: the season. Always support your team and loyal You never

1301
01:07:07,987 --> 01:07:11,067
Speaker 2: know what is going to happen. I'm staying optimistic. That

1302
01:07:11,267 --> 01:07:14,787
Speaker 2: is the spirit, feel, that is fandom, That is fandom.

1303
01:07:14,907 --> 01:07:18,667
Speaker 2: Absolutely So Wellington play Sidney this afternoon. Aukland left c

1304
01:07:18,747 --> 01:07:20,747
Speaker 2: You're back at home next weekend. They take they take

1305
01:07:20,787 --> 01:07:24,347
Speaker 2: on Perth Glory next weekend. That's the next assignment for

1306
01:07:24,387 --> 01:07:27,867
Speaker 2: Steve Coricker's men. Yeah. I was at the game yesterday

1307
01:07:27,907 --> 01:07:30,067
Speaker 2: and it just, like I say, it just felt like

1308
01:07:30,267 --> 01:07:33,467
Speaker 2: last season and last season, as we all know, was

1309
01:07:33,507 --> 01:07:37,747
Speaker 2: a you know absolutely superb first campaign for this team.

1310
01:07:38,507 --> 01:07:40,027
Speaker 2: And it's always going to be a bit harder, isn't it.

1311
01:07:40,067 --> 01:07:41,867
Speaker 2: You know what they say, The second album is always

1312
01:07:41,867 --> 01:07:43,947
Speaker 2: a lot harder. And it had been up and down

1313
01:07:43,987 --> 01:07:47,987
Speaker 2: this season, but yesterday it just felt like the Auckland

1314
01:07:48,107 --> 01:07:51,947
Speaker 2: f Sea of Old, That's what it felt like. And

1315
01:07:52,147 --> 01:07:55,667
Speaker 2: so yeah, I wonder whether they'll just put January in

1316
01:07:55,707 --> 01:08:00,387
Speaker 2: the rearview mirror and move forward. Zimbabwe have lost another wicket.

1317
01:08:00,547 --> 01:08:05,867
Speaker 2: They are four for the loss of four. I don't

1318
01:08:05,907 --> 01:08:09,427
Speaker 2: know what the lowest total in women's T twenty international

1319
01:08:09,507 --> 01:08:14,587
Speaker 2: cricket history is, but I get the feelings Zimbabwe might

1320
01:08:14,667 --> 01:08:18,227
Speaker 2: threaten that four for the loss of four. Batting first

1321
01:08:18,347 --> 01:08:23,787
Speaker 2: against the White Ferns in Hamilton, Nancy Patel has two

1322
01:08:23,907 --> 01:08:27,547
Speaker 2: for none from her one over. Jess Kurk's got a wicket,

1323
01:08:27,587 --> 01:08:31,507
Speaker 2: there's been a run out. They've just lost their fifth wicket.

1324
01:08:32,547 --> 01:08:38,147
Speaker 2: They are four for the loss of five, four for five.

1325
01:08:40,347 --> 01:08:42,707
Speaker 2: Jess Kurse just picked up another wicket and he's going

1326
01:08:42,787 --> 01:08:44,907
Speaker 2: to have to do some research. What is the lowest ever?

1327
01:08:44,947 --> 01:08:46,747
Speaker 2: And he just keep talking They'll keep losing wickets to

1328
01:08:46,787 --> 01:08:51,267
Speaker 2: this rate. Okay, my commentating the sittings now can you

1329
01:08:51,387 --> 01:08:54,667
Speaker 2: please get one of your team of researchers, Andy to

1330
01:08:54,747 --> 01:08:57,747
Speaker 2: find out what the lowest T twenty International cricket scores.

1331
01:08:58,387 --> 01:09:00,747
Speaker 2: My other researcher Andrew onto it? Shall I go and

1332
01:09:00,787 --> 01:09:03,947
Speaker 2: get him onto it? Get him onto it because I

1333
01:09:04,027 --> 01:09:06,987
Speaker 2: think Zimbabwe are threatening it four for the loss of five.

1334
01:09:07,507 --> 01:09:11,627
Speaker 2: At the other end of the excellence scale. Sensational late

1335
01:09:11,667 --> 01:09:14,907
Speaker 2: Saturday afternoon surge from Daniel Hillier has given him a

1336
01:09:14,947 --> 01:09:17,827
Speaker 2: golden chance to claim the New Zealand Open today. He

1337
01:09:17,987 --> 01:09:21,747
Speaker 2: finished yesterday in the third round birdie birdie, par eagle birdie,

1338
01:09:21,827 --> 01:09:24,907
Speaker 2: signing for a seven under sixty four eighteen hunder through

1339
01:09:24,947 --> 01:09:27,387
Speaker 2: fifty four holes. I'm going to get you to Queenstown

1340
01:09:27,427 --> 01:09:29,907
Speaker 2: in just a moment. But here is Daniel Hilly's post

1341
01:09:30,027 --> 01:09:32,747
Speaker 2: round reaction after his third round yesterday.

1342
01:09:33,427 --> 01:09:33,987
Speaker 8: That was crazy.

1343
01:09:34,667 --> 01:09:37,267
Speaker 26: Yeah, obviously didn't have my best early on, but I

1344
01:09:37,347 --> 01:09:38,507
Speaker 26: was just one of those days. He's just got to

1345
01:09:38,547 --> 01:09:40,667
Speaker 26: stay patient. Here there are a couple of par fives

1346
01:09:40,667 --> 01:09:43,547
Speaker 26: that could take advantage on the advantage of laden peace

1347
01:09:43,587 --> 01:09:45,787
Speaker 26: and yeah, thankfully did that and it was it was

1348
01:09:45,787 --> 01:09:47,227
Speaker 26: pretty cool to get one on the last as well

1349
01:09:47,267 --> 01:09:48,387
Speaker 26: in front of that MASSI crowd.

1350
01:09:48,307 --> 01:09:49,947
Speaker 24: Did it feel like you were just hagging on at

1351
01:09:50,027 --> 01:09:51,387
Speaker 24: times around there were.

1352
01:09:51,267 --> 01:09:52,867
Speaker 10: A bit of a funny storm that par train you

1353
01:09:52,867 --> 01:09:53,467
Speaker 10: couldn't get off.

1354
01:09:53,707 --> 01:09:55,467
Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean the pudder was a little

1355
01:09:55,467 --> 01:09:58,067
Speaker 26: bit cold through the middle. There a few close calls,

1356
01:09:58,107 --> 01:10:01,147
Speaker 26: but as like I said, you know, it's just just

1357
01:10:01,227 --> 01:10:03,747
Speaker 26: a waiting game bit of patients and yeah, keeping the

1358
01:10:03,787 --> 01:10:05,627
Speaker 26: head down and trying to get to far aheading myself.

1359
01:10:05,667 --> 01:10:07,267
Speaker 26: And I think that was the difference in the end

1360
01:10:07,307 --> 01:10:08,227
Speaker 26: with their finished.

1361
01:10:08,027 --> 01:10:10,907
Speaker 24: Cool moment there and you're kind of stuff feel and

1362
01:10:10,987 --> 01:10:13,307
Speaker 24: hair full class board twenty more hours.

1363
01:10:13,507 --> 01:10:15,507

01:10:15,507 --> 01:10:18,827
Speaker 26: I'd love to love to replay that and some more. Yeah,

1365
01:10:18,907 --> 01:10:20,667
Speaker 26: but obviously you got a job to do. So yeah,

01:10:44,667 --> 01:10:46,867
Speaker 26: Yeah, I don't know we've had this when you keys

1381
01:10:46,907 --> 01:10:49,747
Speaker 26: up the top of the leaderboard. But yeah, it's great

1382
01:10:49,787 --> 01:10:51,787
Speaker 26: to see and you know, everyone's in good spirits, like

1383
01:10:51,827 --> 01:10:54,027
Speaker 26: I said in before, and yeah, just can't wait to

01:10:54,027 --> 01:10:54,827
Speaker 26: see how the boys.

1385
01:10:54,667 --> 01:10:58,347
Speaker 28: Do he go on seventeen and ready on eighteen you

01:10:58,507 --> 01:10:59,547
Speaker 28: think you diss for the crowds?

1387
01:10:59,627 --> 01:11:00,187
Speaker 16: How good was that?

1388
01:11:00,587 --> 01:11:00,787
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1389
01:11:00,947 --> 01:11:03,507
Speaker 26: Yeah that was nice. I mean I was Yeah, I

1390
01:11:03,547 --> 01:11:05,507
Speaker 26: was pretty excited, pretty armed up, come down those last

1391
01:11:05,507 --> 01:11:08,227
Speaker 26: couple of holes. Obviously a couple of birdies just instead

1392
01:11:08,227 --> 01:11:09,747
Speaker 26: of getting back in the mix and then yea, it's

1393
01:11:09,747 --> 01:11:11,507
Speaker 26: finishing like that. Today was pretty special.

1394
01:11:12,067 --> 01:11:15,347
Speaker 28: Lucas Herbert, if he was upset about potentially spoiling a

1395
01:11:15,427 --> 01:11:18,227
Speaker 28: Kiwi party tomorrow, he said that the sports nuffy and

1396
01:11:18,267 --> 01:11:19,227
Speaker 28: how would like you to win?

1397
01:11:19,867 --> 01:11:22,947
Speaker 26: Wow, that's very kind of him. I don't know if

1398
01:11:22,987 --> 01:11:25,227
Speaker 26: he means it or not, but I mean he's a

1399
01:11:25,267 --> 01:11:27,307
Speaker 26: great man, and obviously we all want to see each

1400
01:11:27,307 --> 01:11:30,747
Speaker 26: other do well. Yeah, I mean everyone's friends with everyone

1401
01:11:30,827 --> 01:11:32,907
Speaker 26: and yeah, so whoever comes out on top tomorrow, I

1402
01:11:32,987 --> 01:11:35,027
Speaker 26: think everyone's going to be pretty happy. But yeah, I

1403
01:11:35,067 --> 01:11:36,827
Speaker 26: think the Keywis are all well, hopeful for a key

1404
01:11:36,867 --> 01:11:37,427
Speaker 26: with this time right.

1405
01:11:37,627 --> 01:11:40,107
Speaker 2: That is the voice of Daniel Hellier after his third

1406
01:11:40,267 --> 01:11:43,347
Speaker 2: round yesterday. He's underway in his fourth round, led him

1407
01:11:43,387 --> 01:11:46,027
Speaker 2: by a stroke when they got underway. Mike Thorpe has

1408
01:11:46,067 --> 01:11:47,867
Speaker 2: been watching on in Queenstown and was part of the

1409
01:11:48,547 --> 01:11:50,427
Speaker 2: interviewing throng around Dan Hilly.

1410
01:11:50,587 --> 01:11:50,747
Speaker 9: There.

1411
01:11:50,827 --> 01:11:53,107
Speaker 2: How's he started today, Mike, He.

1412
01:11:53,347 --> 01:11:56,307
Speaker 18: Has started relatively well, just missed a birdie part about

1413
01:11:56,307 --> 01:11:59,027
Speaker 18: a twelve foot part on the second, but's still at

1414
01:11:59,067 --> 01:12:03,067
Speaker 18: eighteen under, still a one shot leader over to including

1415
01:12:03,107 --> 01:12:05,827
Speaker 18: his playing partner Gary Mountcastle, who.

1416
01:12:06,627 --> 01:12:09,027
Speaker 11: Who started his round. It has to say then, absolute

1417
01:12:09,187 --> 01:12:12,467
Speaker 11: dog of a hole on one. He went rough, rough, rough,

1418
01:12:12,987 --> 01:12:16,067
Speaker 11: and then flopped within sort of six inches, tapped in

1419
01:12:16,147 --> 01:12:18,147
Speaker 11: for a par looked around like, what are you worried about?

1420
01:12:18,307 --> 01:12:21,427
Speaker 11: He's just just a birdie put on two. But as

1421
01:12:21,467 --> 01:12:23,867
Speaker 11: I say, he's only one shot off the pace. Lucas

1422
01:12:23,907 --> 01:12:26,547
Speaker 11: Herbert has made up one shot. He birdied the second,

1423
01:12:27,427 --> 01:12:30,227
Speaker 11: so he moves into seventeen under. Not a lot of

1424
01:12:30,307 --> 01:12:32,947
Speaker 11: movements so far. I think the only one who's dipped

1425
01:12:32,987 --> 01:12:37,867
Speaker 11: down is Curtis Luck who is also with Hilia he

1426
01:12:38,587 --> 01:12:42,347
Speaker 11: Boge eat the first and just made par on the second.

1427
01:12:42,707 --> 01:12:46,067
Speaker 11: We are bathed in sunshine, five minutes after we were

1428
01:12:46,107 --> 01:12:48,787
Speaker 11: all cowering intrrential rain. Welcome to Queenstown.

1429
01:12:49,587 --> 01:12:54,147
Speaker 2: Love it gallery sizes today, Mike, There'll be plenty following

1430
01:12:54,667 --> 01:12:58,787
Speaker 2: the the Hillia Mount Castle luck Trio.

1431
01:12:59,427 --> 01:13:04,187
Speaker 11: Surely very very similar numbers to yesterday's. Slightly different attire,

1432
01:13:04,787 --> 01:13:09,707
Speaker 11: lots of umbrella and puffa jackets, but still lots of people.

1433
01:13:10,107 --> 01:13:11,787
Speaker 11: This is great for New jill And Golf to have

1434
01:13:11,947 --> 01:13:15,547
Speaker 11: this sort of action on day four, to have two

1435
01:13:15,627 --> 01:13:19,427
Speaker 11: kiwis dooking it out at the top to hopefully win

1436
01:13:19,907 --> 01:13:21,107
Speaker 11: this home open.

1437
01:13:21,987 --> 01:13:24,187
Speaker 2: Great having you painting the pictures for us, Mike. Wonderful

1438
01:13:24,187 --> 01:13:26,067
Speaker 2: stuff mate. We'll check it again in an hour or so.

1439
01:13:26,227 --> 01:13:28,667
Speaker 2: Mike Thorpe is in Queenstown at the one hundred and

1440
01:13:28,707 --> 01:13:31,507
Speaker 2: fifth New Zealand Golf Open, where low scoring is the

1441
01:13:31,627 --> 01:13:33,747
Speaker 2: order of the day. You don't want to be doing that.

1442
01:13:33,827 --> 01:13:38,507
Speaker 2: In cricket, Andy has sent me two instances of a

1443
01:13:38,707 --> 01:13:44,987
Speaker 2: side being bowled out for six six the mel Dives there,

1444
01:13:44,987 --> 01:13:48,267
Speaker 2: he pronounce it mel Dives, Meldieves against Bangladesh all out

1445
01:13:48,307 --> 01:13:54,067
Speaker 2: for Meldieves all out for six and the Marley Women

1446
01:13:55,227 --> 01:13:58,307
Speaker 2: all out for six and they batted first, so similar

1447
01:13:58,307 --> 01:14:01,987
Speaker 2: to this all out for six against Rwanda who then

1448
01:14:02,067 --> 01:14:06,627
Speaker 2: got eight in the first over to win. It's a

1449
01:14:06,667 --> 01:14:09,867
Speaker 2: bubwey well, I mean compared to that. They're streaking your head.

1450
01:14:09,907 --> 01:14:13,667
Speaker 2: They're nine for five, nine for five, eighteen to two.

1451

1457
01:14:32,627 --> 01:14:35,387
Speaker 6: Good afternoon, Piney. A pinch and a punch for the

1458
01:14:35,427 --> 01:14:37,707
Speaker 6: first of the month and no returns of course.

1459
01:14:38,027 --> 01:14:40,067
Speaker 2: Yes, of course the first of March. Did you know

1460
01:14:40,187 --> 01:14:43,947
Speaker 2: that Sir Russell Coots and Sir Mark Todd both celebrate

1461
01:14:43,987 --> 01:14:44,867
Speaker 2: their birthday today?

1462
01:14:45,787 --> 01:14:45,947
Speaker 17: Oh?

1463
01:14:46,067 --> 01:14:46,267
Speaker 6: Really?

1464
01:14:46,307 --> 01:14:47,187
Speaker 8: What about Charisma?

1465
01:14:48,387 --> 01:14:52,427
Speaker 2: I don't know Charisma's birthday? You've caught You've caught me

1466
01:14:52,507 --> 01:14:55,747
Speaker 2: on the hob. Don't all horses have the same birthday?

1467
01:14:55,787 --> 01:14:56,707
Speaker 2: Isn't that the way it works?

1468
01:14:58,707 --> 01:14:59,107
Speaker 5: Anyway?

1469
01:14:59,387 --> 01:15:02,427
Speaker 2: We digress. Hey, every team in Super Rugby after three

1470
01:15:02,547 --> 01:15:05,387
Speaker 2: rounds has won a game I know.

1471
01:15:05,507 --> 01:15:08,747
Speaker 6: It's an incredible stat but for the Crusaders to win

1472
01:15:08,827 --> 01:15:10,707
Speaker 6: that game last night, I mean, what a game. I

1473
01:15:10,867 --> 01:15:13,227
Speaker 6: am a Chief fan, and look, yes, we need to

1474
01:15:13,267 --> 01:15:15,947
Speaker 6: do something about the amount of Crusaders fans in the media.

1475
01:15:16,027 --> 01:15:19,147
Speaker 6: There needs to be some kind of cult starting with

1476
01:15:19,507 --> 01:15:23,347
Speaker 6: maybe Elliott. I'm not sure, but there's a lot of them. Pony,

1477
01:15:23,667 --> 01:15:25,827
Speaker 6: But you can't argue with a game like that because

1478
01:15:26,107 --> 01:15:29,227
Speaker 6: when teams kind of don't like each other, good things happen.

1479
01:15:29,667 --> 01:15:33,427
Speaker 6: You get scuffles, you get fewer kicks, you get teams

1480
01:15:33,507 --> 01:15:36,187
Speaker 6: running it from their own goal line, and locks running

1481
01:15:36,347 --> 01:15:42,187
Speaker 6: free like a that he you know, Brontosaurus and a giraffe,

1482
01:15:42,227 --> 01:15:44,707
Speaker 6: Old Josh Lord. And I mean that is just something

1483
01:15:44,747 --> 01:15:45,187
Speaker 6: to behold.

1484
01:15:45,227 --> 01:15:46,747
Speaker 8: You've got to love it, Oh you do.

1485
01:15:46,947 --> 01:15:49,867
Speaker 2: And that try, the second Chiefs try, I mean we're

1486
01:15:49,867 --> 01:15:51,947
Speaker 2: already in round three. That's you know, that's try of

1487
01:15:52,027 --> 01:15:54,907
Speaker 2: the season. Can tend to stuff, isn't it, Leroy? I

1488
01:15:54,907 --> 01:15:57,027
Speaker 2: mean the ball bounced in their own in their own

1489
01:15:57,107 --> 01:15:58,787
Speaker 2: end goal. He's picked it up and off he goes.

1490
01:15:59,627 --> 01:16:02,467
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know. And I mean even though I think

1491
01:16:02,547 --> 01:16:05,667
Speaker 6: the trigger for the Crusader is that I did hear

1492
01:16:05,787 --> 01:16:08,227
Speaker 6: Christian the Willy what a game he had as well,

1493
01:16:08,347 --> 01:16:11,787
Speaker 6: the dentist, but he was saying that they look at

1494
01:16:11,787 --> 01:16:14,467
Speaker 6: the man in the mirror and not one of my

1495
01:16:14,627 --> 01:16:18,867
Speaker 6: favorite Michael Jackson songs. But okay, they did, and you

1496
01:16:18,947 --> 01:16:21,147
Speaker 6: could see they came out with a lot more intent.

1497
01:16:21,307 --> 01:16:23,587
Speaker 6: Even when they were behind, they were playing positive. But

1498
01:16:24,987 --> 01:16:28,827
Speaker 6: the ruckers that happened after Jared Prophet's tiptackle on David

1499
01:16:28,867 --> 01:16:33,907
Speaker 6: Harvelly wasn't punished. That created that animosity and that actually

1500
01:16:34,187 --> 01:16:37,747
Speaker 6: meant it was an incredible spectacle. I was watching on

1501
01:16:37,867 --> 01:16:39,627
Speaker 6: TV and I was loving all of it.

1502
01:16:40,187 --> 01:16:43,467
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you catch any of the Druer Hurricanes game,

1503
01:16:43,587 --> 01:16:47,587
Speaker 2: in particular the state of Churchill Park, Glautoka.

1504
01:16:48,467 --> 01:16:48,507
Speaker 9: No.

1505
01:16:48,827 --> 01:16:51,427
Speaker 6: I heard about the blud bath. And it's a shame

1506
01:16:51,587 --> 01:16:54,027
Speaker 6: because when I was young, if you're playing in the mud,

1507
01:16:54,067 --> 01:16:55,707
Speaker 6: you were kind of looking forward to it because it

1508
01:16:55,827 --> 01:16:58,227
Speaker 6: was always one of those games where it didn't hurt

1509
01:16:58,267 --> 01:17:01,427
Speaker 6: as much hitting the ground. But like, yeah, it's the

1510
01:17:01,707 --> 01:17:04,347
Speaker 6: game that caught. The other one I thought was on

1511
01:17:04,627 --> 01:17:07,187
Speaker 6: Friday Night. But the Highland is a play good rugby

1512
01:17:07,227 --> 01:17:10,347
Speaker 6: but they are absolutely undone by the TMO. And I

1513
01:17:10,467 --> 01:17:13,307
Speaker 6: wonder whether there has to be to quote Jeff TV

1514
01:17:13,667 --> 01:17:19,827
Speaker 6: an investigation over the disallow disallowed try for TK Howden,

1515
01:17:19,867 --> 01:17:22,147
Speaker 6: which looked for all the world to try, and then

1516
01:17:22,187 --> 01:17:24,987
Speaker 6: another one very similar down the other end, saying yes,

1517
01:17:25,107 --> 01:17:28,707
Speaker 6: it's all fine. So that's something that we need. I mean,

1518
01:17:28,747 --> 01:17:31,707
Speaker 6: we complain about the bunker. Maybe it's time. Maybe they've

1519
01:17:31,707 --> 01:17:34,347
Speaker 6: all moved to Super Rugby. Those tmos. And the other

1520
01:17:34,427 --> 01:17:36,587
Speaker 6: one was the Blues versus Rugby. Did you see the

1521
01:17:36,627 --> 01:17:37,467
Speaker 6: way that one finished?

1522
01:17:37,507 --> 01:17:40,627
Speaker 2: Finding I did, Yes, I did, I did, yeah, Verne Cotter,

1523
01:17:40,707 --> 01:17:42,267
Speaker 2: So what they are there? One and two aren't They've

1524
01:17:42,267 --> 01:17:45,267
Speaker 2: only won one game of their first three, the Blues.

1525
01:17:45,627 --> 01:17:48,187
Speaker 6: Exactly, and the way that it finished is interesting because

1526
01:17:48,227 --> 01:17:51,547
Speaker 6: I think Super Rugby in those type contests is getting

1527
01:17:51,547 --> 01:17:54,587
Speaker 6: a little bit like the NFL, where you know, American

1528
01:17:54,627 --> 01:17:57,587
Speaker 6: football teams can control the position. Obviously, the clock stops

1529
01:17:57,907 --> 01:18:00,307
Speaker 6: in the NFL, but it's a similar thing. You get

1530
01:18:00,347 --> 01:18:03,067
Speaker 6: a first down or you get a flag in your

1531
01:18:03,147 --> 01:18:06,227
Speaker 6: and your favor in the NFL and Super Rugby, it's

1532
01:18:06,227 --> 01:18:09,147
Speaker 6: a Penley advantage and suddenly you can keep on putting

1533
01:18:09,147 --> 01:18:10,507
Speaker 6: pressure on, pressure on, pressure on.

1534
01:18:10,907 --> 01:18:11,907
Speaker 8: And it felt.

1535
01:18:11,747 --> 01:18:14,667
Speaker 6: Inevitable that the Brumbies were going to win that one,

1536
01:18:14,747 --> 01:18:17,827
Speaker 6: but I did like the look of Cody Vai, former

1537
01:18:17,867 --> 01:18:20,707
Speaker 6: sevens player, coming off the bench and sparking something.

1538
01:18:20,827 --> 01:18:22,067
Speaker 8: He's a lightweight player.

1539
01:18:21,907 --> 01:18:24,347
Speaker 6: But he's just to move so quick. And I think

1540
01:18:24,427 --> 01:18:27,027
Speaker 6: every team you can see has a player like that

1541
01:18:27,347 --> 01:18:30,547
Speaker 6: in their team. You know, in their arsenal they can

1542
01:18:30,627 --> 01:18:33,187
Speaker 6: unleash someone who's just a quicksilver.

1543
01:18:33,787 --> 01:18:33,947
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1544
01:18:33,987 --> 01:18:36,227
Speaker 2: I love seeing the players you haven't heard of in

1545
01:18:36,307 --> 01:18:38,627
Speaker 2: the first few weeks of Super Rugby. So yeah, now

1546
01:18:38,747 --> 01:18:41,427
Speaker 2: looking forward to what happens next weekend. Are the matters

1547
01:18:41,467 --> 01:18:43,467
Speaker 2: around a league or from the FC are back by

1548
01:18:43,507 --> 01:18:45,067
Speaker 2: the looks of things, James.

1549
01:18:45,627 --> 01:18:48,467
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know they don't need a genuine number

1550
01:18:48,547 --> 01:18:52,027
Speaker 6: nine striker up front. They started with Gmo. My logan

1551
01:18:52,147 --> 01:18:55,467
Speaker 6: Rogerson was that I think he needs to start because

1552
01:18:55,507 --> 01:18:58,547
Speaker 6: he kind of fits in and will play as an

1553
01:18:58,587 --> 01:19:03,907
Speaker 6: auxiliary striker. If you remember those great Melbourne I mean

1554
01:19:03,987 --> 01:19:08,187
Speaker 6: sorry Manchester City teams are the decade and they played

1555
01:19:08,187 --> 01:19:10,747
Speaker 6: without a proper number nine and this is what you get.

1556
01:19:10,827 --> 01:19:13,027
Speaker 6: You get a team where you can kind of shift

1557
01:19:13,107 --> 01:19:16,827
Speaker 6: in and Jesse Randalls suddenly up front at the point

1558
01:19:16,867 --> 01:19:19,467
Speaker 6: the end of the triangle and you know it works

1559
01:19:19,547 --> 01:19:23,227
Speaker 6: for Auclord. Their seat on a lower level. But my

1560
01:19:23,707 --> 01:19:26,467
Speaker 6: question to you, Piney is Chris Greenacre. You know him

1561
01:19:26,507 --> 01:19:29,827
Speaker 6: pretty well. How good is it that he's finally got

1562
01:19:29,867 --> 01:19:30,387
Speaker 6: the top job.

1563
01:19:30,827 --> 01:19:30,987
Speaker 26: Yeah?

1564
01:19:31,147 --> 01:19:32,867
Speaker 2: Very good, Yeah, very good. And I just hope they

1565
01:19:32,907 --> 01:19:35,067
Speaker 2: do make it permanent. I hope that it's not just

1566
01:19:35,427 --> 01:19:39,227
Speaker 2: another case of an interim coaching gig for Greenie until

1567
01:19:39,267 --> 01:19:40,787
Speaker 2: the end of the season and then we're going to

1568
01:19:40,867 --> 01:19:44,467
Speaker 2: open up a global search for the new head coach.

1569
01:19:44,547 --> 01:19:46,347
Speaker 2: I think as long as as long as it's not

1570
01:19:46,427 --> 01:19:48,107
Speaker 2: a catastrophic end of the season, which I don't think

1571
01:19:48,147 --> 01:19:50,707
Speaker 2: it will be, he should get the gig beyond this season,

1572
01:19:50,827 --> 01:19:55,347
Speaker 2: and I certainly hope that he does. Yeah, how are

1573
01:19:55,347 --> 01:19:56,547
Speaker 2: you feeling about the Warriors?

1574
01:19:57,947 --> 01:20:00,387
Speaker 6: Look, I'm feeling pretty bullish and happy about the Warriors.

1575
01:20:00,467 --> 01:20:03,267
Speaker 6: I know everybody, every Australian seems to be leaving on

1576
01:20:03,427 --> 01:20:08,427
Speaker 6: compassionate grounds and someone named it Compassionate Grounds thirteen. Quite

1577
01:20:08,427 --> 01:20:11,147
Speaker 6: a strong side, I might add. But look, I think

1578
01:20:11,187 --> 01:20:13,987
Speaker 6: the Wars really are shaping up quite well, and the

1579
01:20:14,067 --> 01:20:18,107
Speaker 6: one thing that's in their favor is this new interchange

1580
01:20:18,187 --> 01:20:21,067
Speaker 6: bench where you can name six players and you decide

1581
01:20:21,107 --> 01:20:24,107
Speaker 6: on the day which four you use. I think that's

1582
01:20:24,147 --> 01:20:26,507
Speaker 6: great news for the Warriors because a player like Tane

1583
01:20:26,547 --> 01:20:30,507
Speaker 6: Turpikey for me, should always be involved in your match

1584
01:20:30,627 --> 01:20:34,867
Speaker 6: days somehow. But every now and then the interchange will

1585
01:20:34,907 --> 01:20:37,147
Speaker 6: be dominated by forwards. But if you look at players

1586
01:20:37,147 --> 01:20:40,867
Speaker 6: who can beat a man one on one, it's really

1587
01:20:40,987 --> 01:20:43,067
Speaker 6: Tane and Lecqua. You know, There's lots of people who

1588
01:20:43,107 --> 01:20:46,547
Speaker 6: run a good line and then can dive high for

1589
01:20:46,627 --> 01:20:48,907
Speaker 6: the corner, like Dallen, all those sorts of things, but

1590
01:20:49,347 --> 01:20:52,227
Speaker 6: it's really him. Lequa and Roger are the ones who

1591
01:20:52,267 --> 01:20:56,387
Speaker 6: are really tackle beaters, and they can't find a genuine

1592
01:20:56,427 --> 01:20:59,507
Speaker 6: place for Tane always. But this six man bench is

1593
01:20:59,587 --> 01:21:02,027
Speaker 6: great for the Wires, so I'm feeling good about them.

1594
01:21:02,147 --> 01:21:02,787
Speaker 6: It is our year.

1595
01:21:04,027 --> 01:21:07,707
Speaker 2: Charisma was born on the thirtieth of October nineteen seventy two.

1596
01:21:08,667 --> 01:21:12,307
Speaker 8: Great, yeah, that's the excellent, excellent research.

1597
01:21:13,187 --> 01:21:14,587
Speaker 2: That's aiding not me.

1598
01:21:15,707 --> 01:21:20,027
Speaker 6: Oh any yeah, well what a horse and buried somewhere special.

1599
01:21:20,107 --> 01:21:22,107
Speaker 6: I'm trying to think where Charisma is buried. But you

1600
01:21:22,187 --> 01:21:25,627
Speaker 6: can go and visit Chrisma. I think they've got rip.

1601
01:21:27,387 --> 01:21:29,827
Speaker 8: Yeah, Mark the first, what a day. I'm glad that

1602
01:21:29,867 --> 01:21:30,827
Speaker 8: we've discovered that.

1603
01:21:31,427 --> 01:21:34,067

1618
01:22:20,907 --> 01:22:23,667
Speaker 2: White Ferns bat first in those matches, they could they

1619
01:22:23,707 --> 01:22:28,187
Speaker 2: could score five hundred And how is Zimbabwe gonna bat

1620
01:22:28,267 --> 01:22:31,627
Speaker 2: fifty overs if they they They're in the eighth night

1622
01:22:35,227 --> 01:22:37,387
Speaker 2: you've got to try and grow the game, but this

1623
01:22:37,547 --> 01:22:41,307
Speaker 2: is just an utter mismatch. Measine, if you'd bought tickets

Speaker 2: This is the second session on day two of these matches,

1647
01:24:01,467 --> 01:24:03,907
Speaker 2: by the way. That game at Hagleyoval, so Canterbury trail

1648
01:24:03,907 --> 01:24:06,027
Speaker 2: by one hundred and eighty five runs with six first

1649
01:24:06,067 --> 01:24:09,347
Speaker 2: inning wickets in hand. At McLean Park in Napier in

1650

1654
01:24:21,707 --> 01:24:28,387

1655
01:24:28,987 --> 01:24:33,347
Speaker 2: seventeen for seven, now seventeen for seven. So they've started

1656
01:24:33,387 --> 01:24:38,147
Speaker 2: to solidify things, you might say. Having elected to bat

1657
01:24:38,227 --> 01:24:40,467
Speaker 2: first in the third T twenty against the White Ferns,

1658
01:24:40,907 --> 01:24:43,707
Speaker 2: Bruce says on text, finey I played in the game

1659
01:24:43,787 --> 01:24:46,667
Speaker 2: once in the fifties. We were all out for eleven.

1660
01:24:46,827 --> 01:24:49,427
Speaker 2: I got eight of them. Bruce sounds like it was

1661
01:24:49,467 --> 01:24:52,227
Speaker 2: a good thing you were there, otherwise it would have

1662
01:24:52,267 --> 01:24:56,387
Speaker 2: been way worse. You can send us through your your

1663
01:24:56,467 --> 01:25:00,787
Speaker 2: experiences of being part of a low scoring cricket scorecard.

1664
01:25:00,827 --> 01:25:03,827
Speaker 2: If you like nine two nine two as Zimbabwe tick

1665
01:25:03,867 --> 01:25:07,827
Speaker 2: over to eighteen for seven and down in Queenstown, we'll

1666
01:25:07,827 --> 01:25:11,187
Speaker 2: get you there. With Mike Thorpe, this out to chart

1667
01:25:11,267 --> 01:25:14,427
Speaker 2: the progress of the leading golfers at the New Zealand Open.

1668
01:25:15,147 --> 01:25:19,387
Speaker 2: Kerry mount Castle has picked up a shot. He has

1669
01:25:19,707 --> 01:25:23,907
Speaker 2: birdied the third to move to eighteen under and is

1670
01:25:24,027 --> 01:25:26,467
Speaker 2: now in a share of the lead with Daniel Hillier.

1671
01:25:26,867 --> 01:25:31,307
Speaker 2: Two Kiwis at the head of the field, both eighteen under.

1672
01:25:31,867 --> 01:25:35,227
Speaker 2: Lucas Herbert is a shot back at seventeen under the card,

1673
01:25:35,347 --> 01:25:38,707
Speaker 2: Curtis Luck at sixteen under, and then it's a gap

1674
01:25:38,827 --> 01:25:43,627
Speaker 2: back to Travis Smith, who's all alone on fourteen under

1675
01:25:44,267 --> 01:25:49,147
Speaker 2: and in outright fifth position. Mount Castle, Hillier, Herbert and Luck,

1676
01:25:49,467 --> 01:25:52,427
Speaker 2: the two Kiwis and the two Aussies set to do

1677
01:25:52,587 --> 01:25:56,387
Speaker 2: battle across the afternoon. Mount Castle, Hillier and Luck are

1678
01:25:56,467 --> 01:26:01,387
Speaker 2: through three holes. Herbert is through four holes. We'll keep

1679
01:26:01,507 --> 01:26:05,067
Speaker 2: very close eyes on what happens down there over the

1680
01:26:05,147 --> 01:26:08,747
Speaker 2: next little while. It's coming up ten past two, as

1681
01:26:08,827 --> 01:26:11,147

01:27:41,147 --> 01:27:47,307

Speaker 31: I've literally just walked into the stadium and if you

1760
01:30:47,827 --> 01:30:49,627
Speaker 31: haven't been here before, it's one of the most impressive

1761
01:30:49,667 --> 01:30:51,467
Speaker 31: stadiums you can ever see.

1762
01:30:51,547 --> 01:30:53,587
Speaker 33: To be honest that this set up is fantastic. The

1763
01:30:53,667 --> 01:30:55,227
Speaker 33: field looks macular.

1764
01:30:55,307 --> 01:30:58,147
Speaker 31: It's completely empty at the moment, but look the excitement

1765
01:30:58,267 --> 01:30:59,947
Speaker 31: is building here in Las Vegas. I can tell you

1766
01:31:00,027 --> 01:31:03,627
Speaker 31: it's an absolutely beautiful day for football here. Conditions are perfect,

1767
01:31:03,707 --> 01:31:06,067
Speaker 31: probably about twenty six degrees. I don't know what that

1768
01:31:06,227 --> 01:31:08,827
Speaker 31: is in Fahrenheit, to be honest with you, but yeah,

1769
01:31:08,867 --> 01:31:11,627
Speaker 31: everything is looking picture perfect at the moment.

1770
01:31:11,547 --> 01:31:13,707
Speaker 2: Absolutely brilliant. What a great scene set. Do you get

1771
01:31:13,747 --> 01:31:16,747
Speaker 2: the since this is more than just a novelty now

1772
01:31:16,827 --> 01:31:20,467
Speaker 2: that it's becoming a genuine part of the rugby league calendar.

1773
01:31:20,947 --> 01:31:22,427
Speaker 33: Yeah, one hundred percent definitely.

1774
01:31:22,547 --> 01:31:24,347
Speaker 31: I think you know, this is my first year here

1775
01:31:24,387 --> 01:31:28,027
Speaker 31: obviously just recently retired, so now that I'm able to

1776
01:31:28,107 --> 01:31:32,027
Speaker 31: be here, I've heard, you know, from the NRL fans

1777
01:31:32,147 --> 01:31:34,587
Speaker 31: media that it's just gotten better every single year. So

1778
01:31:34,667 --> 01:31:37,427
Speaker 31: obviously this is the third year into a five year

1779
01:31:37,467 --> 01:31:39,347
Speaker 31: deal and I thought it was, you know, initially quite

1780
01:31:39,387 --> 01:31:41,507
Speaker 31: ambitious from the NRL to sign a five year deal

1781
01:31:41,547 --> 01:31:43,947
Speaker 31: straight off the bat, obviously not knowing if it was

1782
01:31:43,987 --> 01:31:46,387
Speaker 31: going to work. But by all reports, everything's just gone

1783
01:31:46,387 --> 01:31:49,387
Speaker 31: from strength to strength. The NRL has literally taken over

1784
01:31:49,427 --> 01:31:53,507
Speaker 31: the strip. There's been fans and people everywhere, NRL players

1785
01:31:53,547 --> 01:31:56,067
Speaker 31: on billboards and who would have thought, you know what

1786
01:31:56,067 --> 01:31:58,987
Speaker 31: I mean, our game that we just love so dearly,

1787
01:31:59,107 --> 01:31:59,787
Speaker 31: you know, down in the.

1788
01:31:59,787 --> 01:32:02,067
Speaker 33: Southern hemisphere on a global stage.

1789
01:32:02,307 --> 01:32:05,227
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw some of your social footage from Fremont Street.

1790
01:32:05,267 --> 01:32:07,587
Speaker 2: It looked like it was absolute the jam pank fans

1791
01:32:07,627 --> 01:32:10,267
Speaker 2: from Australia and New Zealand obviously, but as far away

1792
01:32:10,267 --> 01:32:13,827
Speaker 2: as the UK. How noticeable is the mix of fans

1793
01:32:13,867 --> 01:32:14,547
Speaker 2: there in Vegas?

1794
01:32:15,347 --> 01:32:18,747
Speaker 31: Yeah, honestly, like it's almost like it's almost a fifty

1795
01:32:18,787 --> 01:32:20,787
Speaker 31: split with the UK fans. I've really got to give

1796
01:32:20,827 --> 01:32:24,627
Speaker 31: credit to those guys. They've turned up in droves, They've.

1797
01:32:24,227 --> 01:32:25,187
Speaker 2: Been loud as well.

1798
01:32:25,267 --> 01:32:26,227
Speaker 33: Do you hear them everywhere?

1799
01:32:26,307 --> 01:32:29,907
Speaker 31: You see them everywhere out in about The chat with

1800
01:32:30,307 --> 01:32:32,907
Speaker 31: the UK fans has been incredible and they love the

1801
01:32:32,947 --> 01:32:35,227
Speaker 31: game just as much as anyone, and they support their

1802
01:32:35,267 --> 01:32:37,907
Speaker 31: teams just as hard. So look, I think you know

1803
01:32:38,027 --> 01:32:40,427
Speaker 31: we're going to hear them today. You'll be able to

1804
01:32:40,427 --> 01:32:42,827
Speaker 31: hear them through the coverage, I'm sure. And just how

1805
01:32:42,907 --> 01:32:45,027
Speaker 31: loud they are right that atmosphere that they created, it's

1806
01:32:45,067 --> 01:32:48,387
Speaker 31: unlike any other thing you hear, you know, in sports.

1807
01:32:48,467 --> 01:32:50,027
Speaker 33: So they've done a tremendous job.

1808
01:32:50,187 --> 01:32:51,947
Speaker 2: And what about the American fans chair, how do you

1809
01:32:51,987 --> 01:32:54,107
Speaker 2: reckon they react when they see rugby league up close?

1810
01:32:54,147 --> 01:32:56,827
Speaker 2: They used to physical contact in the NFL, of course,

1811
01:32:56,867 --> 01:32:59,227
Speaker 2: but those guys are wearing pads and helmets. What do

1812
01:32:59,307 --> 01:33:00,227
Speaker 2: they make of Yeah?

1813
01:33:00,987 --> 01:33:02,907
Speaker 31: Well, that's the thing, right there are just blown away

1814
01:33:02,987 --> 01:33:05,907
Speaker 31: by like the no pads and no helmet situation that

1815
01:33:05,987 --> 01:33:08,787
Speaker 31: we have in rugby league. And yeah, honestly, I think

1816
01:33:08,787 --> 01:33:11,027
Speaker 31: it's catching on, to be honest, Like I did some

1817
01:33:11,147 --> 01:33:14,627
Speaker 31: content throughout the week and spoke to an American guy

1818
01:33:14,707 --> 01:33:18,427
Speaker 31: by the name of Corey and he runs a podcast.

1819
01:33:18,507 --> 01:33:19,987
Speaker 31: Now he's fall in love with the game. He's a

1820
01:33:20,027 --> 01:33:23,907
Speaker 31: Tigers fan. He's met Benji Marshall. So look, it's definitely

1821
01:33:23,947 --> 01:33:26,947
Speaker 31: catching on with the Americans, and I just love to

1822
01:33:26,987 --> 01:33:28,307
Speaker 31: see it so much.

1823
01:33:28,227 --> 01:33:31,347
Speaker 2: Around the event, fan events, media, the strip. Obviously, how

1824
01:33:31,427 --> 01:33:34,267
Speaker 2: hard would it be for the players to stay locked

1825
01:33:34,307 --> 01:33:35,307
Speaker 2: in on their performance?

1826
01:33:36,227 --> 01:33:37,907
Speaker 33: Yeah, to be honest, I don't think it'd be hard

1827
01:33:37,987 --> 01:33:38,267
Speaker 33: at all.

1828
01:33:38,427 --> 01:33:40,867
Speaker 31: Like the players getting here quite early on, so they

1829
01:33:40,947 --> 01:33:44,387
Speaker 31: get time to acclimatize and get obviously adjusted to the

1830
01:33:44,467 --> 01:33:47,467
Speaker 31: time zone, and you know, obviously you want to explore

1831
01:33:47,587 --> 01:33:49,747
Speaker 31: and sort of get out and get some connection amongst

1832
01:33:49,747 --> 01:33:52,787
Speaker 31: the playing group and you know, make the most of

1833
01:33:52,867 --> 01:33:54,947
Speaker 31: the experience. But once you get that out of your system,

1834
01:33:55,227 --> 01:33:56,827
Speaker 31: you know, they've got over a week to kind of

1835
01:33:56,867 --> 01:33:59,707
Speaker 31: lock in it and get ready to go. So yeah,

1836
01:33:59,827 --> 01:34:01,787
Speaker 31: it's a massive game for all the teams that year

1837
01:34:01,827 --> 01:34:04,667
Speaker 31: on all different reasons. So for me, I don't think

1838
01:34:04,667 --> 01:34:06,587
Speaker 31: they would have a drama once they sort of get

1839
01:34:06,627 --> 01:34:08,667
Speaker 31: that out of the way, it's all, you know, strictly

1840
01:34:08,707 --> 01:34:09,467
Speaker 31: preparation time.

1841
01:34:09,547 --> 01:34:11,227
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess it is. And they're all pros, aren't they.

1842
01:34:11,227 --> 01:34:12,747
Speaker 2: But I reckon it would have been hard, wouldn't How

1843
01:34:12,747 --> 01:34:15,467
Speaker 2: wuld you have found it just stay focused with Vegas

1844
01:34:15,587 --> 01:34:16,667
Speaker 2: right outside your window?

1845
01:34:17,627 --> 01:34:20,227
Speaker 31: Yeah, I mean it's yeah, like I said, you get

1846
01:34:20,267 --> 01:34:22,187
Speaker 31: that one time out of your system and then you

1847
01:34:22,307 --> 01:34:24,387
Speaker 31: really just want to get into your preparation mode. So

1848
01:34:25,107 --> 01:34:27,387
Speaker 31: obviously you know it comes without saying there's you know,

1849
01:34:27,467 --> 01:34:30,067
Speaker 31: this is Las Vegas, right the entertainment capital of the world.

1850
01:34:30,067 --> 01:34:31,187
Speaker 33: There's a lot of distraction here.

1851
01:34:31,267 --> 01:34:33,427
Speaker 31: But you know what's more important for the players is

1852
01:34:34,227 --> 01:34:35,707
Speaker 31: you know that two points at the end of the day,

1853
01:34:35,707 --> 01:34:37,107
Speaker 31: and then you know, if they go out tonight and

1854
01:34:37,147 --> 01:34:38,707
Speaker 31: they put in a good performance and they get a win,

1855
01:34:38,907 --> 01:34:41,147
Speaker 31: they've got plenty of time to celebrate with their fans

1856
01:34:41,147 --> 01:34:43,147
Speaker 31: and their families who have traveled over here.

1857
01:34:43,347 --> 01:34:45,627
Speaker 2: Often games at the start of the season chatter bit scrappy,

1858
01:34:45,627 --> 01:34:47,827
Speaker 2: aren't they. As teams get connections together in Salem, A

1859
01:34:47,867 --> 01:34:50,427
Speaker 2: new campaign. Do you reckon the occasion over there might

1860
01:34:50,507 --> 01:34:52,227
Speaker 2: actually lift the quality today?

1861
01:34:53,227 --> 01:34:54,307
Speaker 33: Yeah, for sure, definitely.

1862
01:34:54,347 --> 01:34:56,147
Speaker 31: I think the occasion, I think how big it is

1863
01:34:56,187 --> 01:34:58,307
Speaker 31: as well, the fact that it's obviously on a global stage,

1864
01:34:58,787 --> 01:35:01,347
Speaker 31: the stadium, the bright lights in Las Vegas.

1865
01:35:01,387 --> 01:35:02,667
Speaker 33: You know what I mean. This is this is the

1866
01:35:02,707 --> 01:35:03,227
Speaker 33: big stage.

1867
01:35:03,267 --> 01:35:06,947
Speaker 31: You know, we're going broadcasting globally today on FS one

1868
01:35:07,027 --> 01:35:09,867
Speaker 31: here in America obviously you know, all through you down

1869
01:35:09,947 --> 01:35:12,787
Speaker 31: under as well. So yeah, this is one of the

1870
01:35:12,827 --> 01:35:15,427
Speaker 31: biggest stages we have round once here, the season's here,

1871
01:35:15,627 --> 01:35:17,867
Speaker 31: it's all there in front of the players, and you know,

1872
01:35:17,947 --> 01:35:19,427
Speaker 31: I'm just so excited to be here, to be honest

1873
01:35:19,467 --> 01:35:19,587
Speaker 31: with you.

1874
01:35:19,627 --> 01:35:21,547
Speaker 2: Now, I can tell it's just great to get the

1875
01:35:21,627 --> 01:35:24,387
Speaker 2: vibe from him. Just to look at the games, Knights,

1876
01:35:24,467 --> 01:35:28,107
Speaker 2: Cowboys followed by Bulldogs Dragons. Cowboys and Bulldogs will be favorite,

1877
01:35:28,107 --> 01:35:28,547
Speaker 2: wouldn't they.

1878
01:35:29,667 --> 01:35:32,707
Speaker 31: Yeah, I think they are favorite at this stage. But

1879
01:35:33,147 --> 01:35:35,987
Speaker 31: for me, I'm going with the Cowboys in the first game.

1880
01:35:36,067 --> 01:35:37,787
Speaker 31: I just think the Cowboys have had the wood over

1881
01:35:37,827 --> 01:35:40,787
Speaker 31: the Knights for the past couple of seasons, and the Cowboys,

1882
01:35:41,027 --> 01:35:43,427
Speaker 31: you know, have a big point to prove. Obviously last

1883
01:35:43,507 --> 01:35:46,027
Speaker 31: year they finished outside of the top eight. They had

1884
01:35:46,067 --> 01:35:48,307
Speaker 31: the second worst defense in the competition. But for me,

1885
01:35:48,467 --> 01:35:51,427
Speaker 31: their attack is lethal. You know, drink water and Tom

1886
01:35:51,507 --> 01:35:53,267
Speaker 31: did and I think a fight up reidmind, he's going

1887
01:35:53,307 --> 01:35:55,667
Speaker 31: to add a lot to their team. So I expect

1888
01:35:55,707 --> 01:35:57,867
Speaker 31: the Cowboys to win that first game and in their

1889
01:35:57,907 --> 01:36:02,707
Speaker 31: second game. Yeah, this is really you know, the Dragon's

1890
01:36:02,747 --> 01:36:05,587
Speaker 31: coming off the back of disappointing performance in the Charity Shield.

1891
01:36:05,787 --> 01:36:09,587
Speaker 31: They're outside, but if they start strong, I'm giving them

1892
01:36:09,627 --> 01:36:12,067
Speaker 31: a chance. I think they can cause an upset. But look,

1893
01:36:12,107 --> 01:36:15,507
Speaker 31: this Dog's team looks settled, they look focused. Defensively, they're very,

1894
01:36:15,627 --> 01:36:18,547
Speaker 31: very sound. So you know what, I'm gonna go the

1895
01:36:18,627 --> 01:36:20,507
Speaker 31: favorite in the first game. I'm gonna go to the Cowboys,

1896
01:36:20,867 --> 01:36:23,227
Speaker 31: and I'm going to go an upset in the second game,

1897
01:36:23,267 --> 01:36:24,467
Speaker 31: and I'm going to go to the Dragons.

1898
01:36:24,587 --> 01:36:24,787
Speaker 9: Go on.

1899
01:36:25,787 --> 01:36:27,027
Speaker 2: We spoke a lot on the show here in New

1900
01:36:27,107 --> 01:36:29,507
Speaker 2: Zealand yesterday about the Warriors, their prospects for the year.

1901
01:36:30,027 --> 01:36:33,387
Speaker 2: How much changes, how much changes on Luke Metcalfe's successful

1902
01:36:33,427 --> 01:36:34,227
Speaker 2: return to this team.

1903
01:36:35,067 --> 01:36:36,827
Speaker 33: Yeah, look, to be honest, I think quite a bit.

1904
01:36:36,867 --> 01:36:38,787
Speaker 31: I mean we saw that last year, right with the

1905
01:36:38,907 --> 01:36:42,827
Speaker 31: unfortunate injury to Luke metcalf and the team just probably

1906
01:36:42,867 --> 01:36:45,147
Speaker 31: weren't able to replicate the same form they had when

1907
01:36:45,187 --> 01:36:48,107
Speaker 31: he was playing. And that's not to really just single

1908
01:36:48,147 --> 01:36:50,347
Speaker 31: out Tanner Boyd. I thought he did a really solid

1909
01:36:50,387 --> 01:36:52,507
Speaker 31: job when he came in and filled and done his role.

1910
01:36:52,987 --> 01:36:55,507
Speaker 31: But Luke metcalf is a class player. Right at the

1911
01:36:55,547 --> 01:36:56,987
Speaker 31: time he got injured, he was up there with the

1912
01:36:57,067 --> 01:37:01,507
Speaker 31: daly Ms. He's got X factor, he's got speed, skill, footwork.

1913
01:37:01,867 --> 01:37:05,027
Speaker 31: Obviously his goalkicking has improved as well. So I know

1914
01:37:05,147 --> 01:37:07,027
Speaker 31: he's due back early in the season, in round seven.

1915
01:37:07,107 --> 01:37:09,707
Speaker 31: So if if the Warriors can get off to a

1916
01:37:09,827 --> 01:37:13,387
Speaker 31: solid start, I think Metcalfe can come in and you know,

1917
01:37:13,507 --> 01:37:15,867
Speaker 31: really push his team and get them in the top

1918
01:37:15,947 --> 01:37:17,027
Speaker 31: eight at the back end of the season.

1919
01:37:17,547 --> 01:37:19,987
Speaker 2: Just before you go, just gotta we're just pleased you

1920
01:37:20,107 --> 01:37:20,467
Speaker 2: got there.

1921
01:37:20,547 --> 01:37:20,787
Speaker 1: Mate.

1922
01:37:20,907 --> 01:37:23,387
Speaker 2: You had a scary, a scary mid flight incident. I

1923
01:37:23,467 --> 01:37:25,267
Speaker 2: know you've told the story a couple of times, probably

1924
01:37:25,307 --> 01:37:27,347
Speaker 2: more than a couple. Yeah what happened? Mate? And are

1925
01:37:27,387 --> 01:37:27,787
Speaker 2: you okay?

1926
01:37:27,907 --> 01:37:28,027
Speaker 19: Now?

1927
01:37:28,907 --> 01:37:31,907
Speaker 31: Yeah, I'm completely fine now. So yeah, honestly, it just

1928
01:37:31,947 --> 01:37:33,107
Speaker 31: sort of came out of the blue. I was just

1929
01:37:33,467 --> 01:37:35,427
Speaker 31: sitting in my in my seat in the in the

1930
01:37:35,507 --> 01:37:38,667
Speaker 31: plane and sitting with made of mine who's traveled over.

1931
01:37:38,707 --> 01:37:40,307
Speaker 31: We've been doing a bit of work together over here,

1932
01:37:40,347 --> 01:37:42,867
Speaker 31: and yeah, I sort of started getting just hot and

1933
01:37:42,947 --> 01:37:47,307
Speaker 31: cold flushes and really really nauseous and a bit sweaty,

1934
01:37:47,347 --> 01:37:50,747
Speaker 31: and like my shirt was wet, and said to my mate, like,

1935
01:37:50,787 --> 01:37:51,827
Speaker 31: I don't I don't really feel that well.

1936
01:37:51,867 --> 01:37:53,387
Speaker 33: I'm just gonna go up and go to the toilet, SOT.

1937
01:37:53,427 --> 01:37:55,667
Speaker 31: And I got up and I just fainted on the

1938
01:37:55,747 --> 01:37:58,707
Speaker 31: deck and then woke up with an oxygen masks to

1939
01:37:58,787 --> 01:38:01,507
Speaker 31: my face and getting my blood pressure checked, and you know,

1940
01:38:01,667 --> 01:38:04,307
Speaker 31: really a bit of a shock, to be honest with you,

1941
01:38:04,387 --> 01:38:06,187
Speaker 31: and had a doctor there and a nurse who were

1942
01:38:06,227 --> 01:38:08,427
Speaker 31: just so so helpful for me, to be honest, I'm

1943
01:38:08,467 --> 01:38:11,427
Speaker 31: really grateful for their support. And I had low blood pressure,

1944
01:38:11,427 --> 01:38:13,227
Speaker 31: which they just monitored for the rest of the flight,

1945
01:38:13,307 --> 01:38:16,987
Speaker 31: and then as we sort of started to descend into LA,

1946
01:38:17,107 --> 01:38:18,227
Speaker 31: my blood pressure came.

1947
01:38:18,187 --> 01:38:20,507
Speaker 33: Back to normal. And then when I got on the ground,

1948
01:38:20,547 --> 01:38:20,867
Speaker 33: I got.

1949
01:38:20,787 --> 01:38:23,987
Speaker 31: Assessed by the paramedics and I felt fine by that

1950
01:38:24,067 --> 01:38:26,187
Speaker 31: stage and all of my vitals and everything were back

1951
01:38:26,187 --> 01:38:29,027
Speaker 31: to normal. The paramedics that had made you're good to go,

1952
01:38:29,267 --> 01:38:31,667
Speaker 31: so yeah, I went off and had some breakfast in

1953
01:38:31,787 --> 01:38:34,107
Speaker 31: lax and then got on my flight from LA to

1954
01:38:34,427 --> 01:38:37,467
Speaker 31: Vegas and been fine ever since. So yeah, a little

1955
01:38:37,467 --> 01:38:39,107
Speaker 31: bit of scare, but yeah, I had a lot of

1956
01:38:39,107 --> 01:38:40,787
Speaker 31: people reach out to me and just sort of see

1957
01:38:41,427 --> 01:38:43,907
Speaker 31: if I was okay. Obviously, the news sort of got

1958
01:38:43,907 --> 01:38:45,427
Speaker 31: out pretty quickly, and I just wanted to sort of

1959
01:38:45,507 --> 01:38:47,707
Speaker 31: jump on it and let let everyone know that, Hey, like,

1960
01:38:47,907 --> 01:38:50,627
Speaker 31: I'm okay, and I appreciate the text of concern.

1961
01:38:50,987 --> 01:38:53,307
Speaker 2: So please you're okay. Ched Hey, loving your coverage from

1962
01:38:53,307 --> 01:38:55,187
Speaker 2: the US. Mate, thanks for joining us across New Zealand

1963
01:38:55,227 --> 01:38:57,507
Speaker 2: this afternoon, No drummers, thanks for having us, No, thank

1964
01:38:57,547 --> 01:39:00,187
Speaker 2: you for joining us. Chad Chad Town's end there. Yeah,

1965
01:39:00,187 --> 01:39:01,427
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you caught up with that news,

1966
01:39:01,467 --> 01:39:04,027
Speaker 2: but he just outlined there, Yeah, I had a bit

1967
01:39:04,067 --> 01:39:06,027
Speaker 2: of a scary incident on the plane on the way over.

1968
01:39:06,107 --> 01:39:08,507
Speaker 2: Thank Leis you can hear there. He's okay. So good

1969
01:39:08,587 --> 01:39:12,827
Speaker 2: news in that regard Chad Townshend. He're painting a pretty

1970
01:39:12,827 --> 01:39:16,187
Speaker 2: good picture for us. Remember last year the Warriors were there.

1971
01:39:16,387 --> 01:39:18,707
Speaker 2: They were over in Vegas for the start. As I

1972
01:39:18,747 --> 01:39:20,867
Speaker 2: mentioned before, they lost to the Raiders fairly heavily. I

1973
01:39:20,907 --> 01:39:24,227
Speaker 2: don't think they well, I don't know if they were

1974
01:39:24,227 --> 01:39:26,307
Speaker 2: off at another opportunity to go back, they might think

1975
01:39:26,387 --> 01:39:30,227
Speaker 2: twice after what happened. But all sorts of things happen,

1976
01:39:30,347 --> 01:39:33,507
Speaker 2: of course in Vegas. And it just reminded me of

1977
01:39:34,227 --> 01:39:38,907
Speaker 2: last year when some absolute died in the Wall Warriors

1978
01:39:39,027 --> 01:39:43,227
Speaker 2: fans renewed their vows while they were in Vegas. Ben

1979
01:39:43,507 --> 01:39:45,387
Speaker 2: and Anna Roska.

1980
01:39:46,067 --> 01:39:49,827
Speaker 34: This is from a year ago, absolutely, absolutely, and the

1981
01:39:49,907 --> 01:39:52,467
Speaker 34: timing was so good at our twentieth wedding anniversary as well,

1982
01:39:52,547 --> 01:39:54,787
Speaker 34: So what better way to start our Vegas trip. And

1983
01:39:54,867 --> 01:39:57,507
Speaker 34: then obviously got the Warriors today, which we're really amped

1984
01:39:57,587 --> 01:39:59,067
Speaker 34: up about, so it's gonna be awesome.

1985
01:39:59,187 --> 01:40:02,267
Speaker 2: Well, congratulations on the renewal and on your wedding anniversary.

1986
01:40:02,467 --> 01:40:05,547
Speaker 2: Now you weren't married in Vegas, but I think you

1987
01:40:05,627 --> 01:40:07,987
Speaker 2: renewed your vow one other time there, Ben, did you?

1988
01:40:08,707 --> 01:40:09,267
Speaker 8: Yeah, we did.

1989
01:40:09,347 --> 01:40:12,627
Speaker 32: We did it fifteen years ago with Elvis, and it

1990
01:40:12,787 --> 01:40:14,547
Speaker 32: was just crazy that this time round it was the

1991
01:40:14,627 --> 01:40:17,587
Speaker 32: same Elvis that married us, remarried us fifteen years ago.

1992
01:40:17,947 --> 01:40:19,067
Speaker 14: He's an absolute character.

1993
01:40:19,067 --> 01:40:23,947
Speaker 2: It was amazing it was the same Elvis from because

1994
01:40:23,987 --> 01:40:27,987
Speaker 2: there must be many many Elvis celebrants in Vegas. Did

1995
01:40:28,027 --> 01:40:31,027
Speaker 2: you specifically try to find the same guy, No, it

1996
01:40:31,147 --> 01:40:32,387
Speaker 2: was it was a fluke.

1997
01:40:32,427 --> 01:40:34,867
Speaker 32: He'd actually moved chapel, was from one chapel to another,

1998
01:40:35,147 --> 01:40:39,027
Speaker 32: and it was at a different chapel meant to be.

1999
01:40:40,307 --> 01:40:43,227
Speaker 2: I mean, you would have remembered him. Well, I don't know.

2000
01:40:43,387 --> 01:40:46,787
Speaker 2: He probably marries and renews vows for many couples. Did

2001
01:40:46,827 --> 01:40:48,787
Speaker 2: he remember you from fifteen years ago?

2002
01:40:49,747 --> 01:40:52,907
Speaker 32: He reckoned. By the end of the ceremony, he deapinitely clipped.

2003
01:40:52,987 --> 01:40:56,587
Speaker 2: So I think so now I've seen the photos, as

2004
01:40:56,627 --> 01:41:00,787
Speaker 2: I say, being the blazer, the Warriors blazer that you're wearing,

2005
01:41:00,867 --> 01:41:03,027
Speaker 2: is that is that specially made for this occasion?

2006
01:41:03,867 --> 01:41:07,347
Speaker 32: Yeah, there was Taylor made and Tyler and so there's

2007
01:41:07,387 --> 01:41:10,547
Speaker 32: an amazing, amazing well fitted suit and then we had

2008
01:41:10,587 --> 01:41:13,067
Speaker 32: the boys cut it out and Warriors suits as well.

2009
01:41:13,267 --> 01:41:14,987
Speaker 32: So we're all looking the part.

2010
01:41:15,427 --> 01:41:17,467
Speaker 2: And this is just what a cool family occasion. So

2011
01:41:17,587 --> 01:41:20,067
Speaker 2: your boys and they were clearly keen to be involved

2012
01:41:20,107 --> 01:41:21,027
Speaker 2: in this whole thing as well.

2013
01:41:21,907 --> 01:41:23,507
Speaker 34: Yeah, no, they were, they were keen.

2014
01:41:23,587 --> 01:41:24,107
Speaker 1: They were keen.

2015
01:41:24,187 --> 01:41:27,067
Speaker 34: And after we renewed our vowels, we actually all headed

2016
01:41:27,107 --> 01:41:29,187
Speaker 34: to Fremont Street and we all did the zipline as

2017
01:41:29,187 --> 01:41:31,147
Speaker 34: a family, but I lost my.

2018
01:41:31,267 --> 01:41:32,947
Speaker 2: Veil on the zipline.

2019
01:41:33,267 --> 01:41:37,267
Speaker 34: What you boy was absolutely crazy in my wedding dress,

2020
01:41:37,387 --> 01:41:38,867
Speaker 34: but my veil flew off on the red.

2021
01:41:38,827 --> 01:41:39,747
Speaker 27: Carpet and I lost it.

2022
01:41:41,187 --> 01:41:43,787
Speaker 32: It was over the top of the NRL opening party,

2023
01:41:43,867 --> 01:41:46,947
Speaker 32: so Fremont Street was packed with ten thousand crazy fans

2024
01:41:47,467 --> 01:41:49,587
Speaker 32: while we ziplined over the top and our wedding attire.

2025
01:41:49,707 --> 01:41:52,627
Speaker 32: So yeah, it was amazing. Sam Burgess was on stage

2026
01:41:52,627 --> 01:41:54,027
Speaker 32: and he stopped what he was saying to give us

2027
01:41:54,027 --> 01:41:56,147
Speaker 32: a wave as it was ziplining past.

2028
01:41:56,587 --> 01:41:58,547
Speaker 2: That is so cool. The thing about it is that

2029
01:41:58,987 --> 01:42:01,067
Speaker 2: you know these things would be out of place in

2030
01:42:01,147 --> 01:42:03,347
Speaker 2: other cities, but in Vegas it's probably just an every

2031
01:42:03,467 --> 01:42:04,227
Speaker 2: day occurrence.

2032
01:42:06,427 --> 01:42:07,467
Speaker 27: Oh it was nuts.

2033
01:42:07,507 --> 01:42:08,347
Speaker 10: It was absolutely nuts.

2034
01:42:08,387 --> 01:42:10,947
Speaker 32: It was such a good day and we were treadle

2035
01:42:10,987 --> 01:42:14,227
Speaker 32: at celebrities walking around the ner OL fan zone. Every

2036
01:42:14,307 --> 01:42:16,747
Speaker 32: second person wanted to photo with us, so we actually

2037
01:42:16,787 --> 01:42:18,187
Speaker 32: felt like celebrities.

2038
01:42:17,707 --> 01:42:18,067
Speaker 8: On the day.

2039
01:42:18,547 --> 01:42:22,227
Speaker 2: That is Ben and Anna Roska from a year ago

2040
01:42:22,387 --> 01:42:24,907
Speaker 2: when they renewed their vows on their wedding anniversary, so

2041
01:42:24,987 --> 01:42:28,827
Speaker 2: presumably it's now their twenty first wedding anniversary. Great to

2042
01:42:28,827 --> 01:42:31,067
Speaker 2: be able to rule of that moment made of mind

2043
01:42:31,147 --> 01:42:33,827
Speaker 2: says this text, and his new wife got married in

2044
01:42:33,907 --> 01:42:35,427
Speaker 2: Vegas while I was over there for the Warriors, and

2045
01:42:35,467 --> 01:42:39,187
Speaker 2: they also got married by Elvis. How many Elvis celebrates

2046
01:42:39,227 --> 01:42:40,227
Speaker 2: would there be in Vegas?

2047
01:42:41,347 --> 01:42:41,787
Speaker 8: Dozens?

2048
01:42:42,147 --> 01:42:45,667
Speaker 2: Sure, sort of for Ben and Anna to get to

2049
01:42:45,787 --> 01:42:48,707
Speaker 2: get the same one that they renewed their vows with.

2050
01:42:49,827 --> 01:42:54,667
Speaker 2: Crazy Crazy On low scoring cricket games, Pineer played in

2051
01:42:54,747 --> 01:42:57,187
Speaker 2: a game where we got the opposition all out for

2052
01:42:57,347 --> 01:43:04,227
Speaker 2: one and their run was a no ball called because

2053
01:43:04,267 --> 01:43:06,907
Speaker 2: our wicket keeper had his gloves in front of the stumps.

2054
01:43:06,987 --> 01:43:10,467
Speaker 2: The umpire was the opposition coach. Well, I guess, I mean,

2055
01:43:11,907 --> 01:43:15,027
Speaker 2: I'm sure there are instances of somebody you know, or

2056
01:43:15,107 --> 01:43:18,347
Speaker 2: a team being all out for nothing, all out for

2057
01:43:18,467 --> 01:43:21,587
Speaker 2: ones almost you know, I kind of prefer that you know,

2058
01:43:21,867 --> 01:43:23,867
Speaker 2: you got your one run but it was an extra. This,

2059
01:43:24,027 --> 01:43:27,467
Speaker 2: of course, is related to the Zimbabwe women's cricket team

2060
01:43:27,467 --> 01:43:33,507
Speaker 2: who actually mounting a rearguard action. They were ten for

2061
01:43:33,627 --> 01:43:37,747
Speaker 2: the loss of seven. They are now forty seven for seven,

2062
01:43:38,987 --> 01:43:44,667
Speaker 2: so a lower order resistance being put on by Adel

2063
01:43:44,987 --> 01:43:50,147
Speaker 2: Zamunu and Audrey mother Shayer. They have currently added what's

2064
01:43:50,187 --> 01:43:53,707
Speaker 2: that thirty seven unbroken for the eighth wicket, so they're

2065
01:43:53,747 --> 01:43:55,907
Speaker 2: making a game of it. We're into the sixteenth over.

2066
01:43:56,667 --> 01:43:59,427
Speaker 2: I mean, clearly it's going to be pretty modest total

2067
01:43:59,507 --> 01:44:01,187
Speaker 2: for the White firms to chase down, but at least

2068
01:44:01,227 --> 01:44:03,227
Speaker 2: it's a lot better than what they were headed for

2069
01:44:03,427 --> 01:44:06,947
Speaker 2: at ten for seven. Forty seven for seven. Now good stuff.

2070
01:44:07,627 --> 01:44:09,067
Speaker 2: Quick check on the golf. We'll get you to Mike

2071
01:44:09,107 --> 01:44:11,187
Speaker 2: Thorpe in a little while, but quick check while we

2072
01:44:11,227 --> 01:44:15,747
Speaker 2: have the opportunity. Kerry Mountcastle has dropped back to even

2073
01:44:15,867 --> 01:44:19,507
Speaker 2: path through four holes. He birdied three but then bogied four,

2074
01:44:20,147 --> 01:44:22,427
Speaker 2: so he's back to his overnight score of seventeen under

2075
01:44:22,467 --> 01:44:26,267
Speaker 2: the card. Daniel Hillier has safely pared the first four

2076
01:44:26,347 --> 01:44:30,747
Speaker 2: holes to stay at eighteen under mount Castle, as I say,

2077
01:44:30,787 --> 01:44:36,707
Speaker 2: at seventeen under Lucas Herbert, also at seventeen under. This

2078
01:44:36,867 --> 01:44:39,627
Speaker 2: is News Talks THEREB and Weekend Sport two twenty eight.

2079
01:44:39,667 --> 01:44:42,627
Speaker 1: We're back in a second the biggest Names and sports

2080
01:44:43,067 --> 01:44:48,067
Speaker 1: talk to Finy Weekend Sport with Jason Paine and GJ. Gardnos,

2081
01:44:48,307 --> 01:44:50,187
Speaker 1: New Zealand's most trusted home builder.

2082
01:44:50,387 --> 01:44:53,227
Speaker 2: News Talks that B, News Talks there B. It's two

2083
01:44:53,667 --> 01:44:56,987
Speaker 2: thirty Jet must be exciting being down there at at

2084
01:44:57,107 --> 01:44:59,787
Speaker 2: Queenstown for the New Zealand Golf Open. I've got a

2085
01:44:59,827 --> 01:45:02,027
Speaker 2: couple of friends down there. They're sending me photos. Once

2086
01:45:02,107 --> 01:45:06,387
Speaker 2: in a superb photo of standing behind Daniel Hillier. I

2087
01:45:06,387 --> 01:45:08,107
Speaker 2: think it was on the first or second t The

2088
01:45:08,267 --> 01:45:12,187
Speaker 2: galleries look amazing. Gee, what a time to be down there,

2089
01:45:12,467 --> 01:45:15,347
Speaker 2: and not just one key we but two near the

2090
01:45:15,427 --> 01:45:17,627
Speaker 2: top of the leaderboard. Mike Thorpe has been following it

2091
01:45:17,707 --> 01:45:20,067
Speaker 2: for us, doing about a thousand other things, but also

2092
01:45:20,547 --> 01:45:23,587
Speaker 2: finding time for us this afternoon. How are you feeling

2093
01:45:23,667 --> 01:45:25,587
Speaker 2: down there, Mike, How are you enjoying it personally?

2094
01:45:26,587 --> 01:45:29,507
Speaker 11: Honestly fining, I'm absolutely loving it. This is one of

2095
01:45:29,667 --> 01:45:32,187
Speaker 11: the events that New Zealanders need to know more about.

2096
01:45:32,267 --> 01:45:34,387
Speaker 11: This is the first time I've seen here and it

2097
01:45:34,547 --> 01:45:36,867
Speaker 11: certainly won't be the last. It's more than just a

2098
01:45:36,947 --> 01:45:39,867
Speaker 11: golf tournament. It's as good as anything you've seen on TV.

2099
01:45:39,947 --> 01:45:43,227
Speaker 11: And I genuinely mean that. And I think the thousands

2100
01:45:43,307 --> 01:45:45,747
Speaker 11: that are here today and costs absolutely nothing to get in.

2101
01:45:45,867 --> 01:45:48,667
Speaker 11: By the way, the thousands that are here today are

2102
01:45:48,667 --> 01:45:49,187
Speaker 11: having a ball.

2103
01:45:49,747 --> 01:45:51,827
Speaker 2: Absolutely I bet they are all right. Take us to

2104
01:45:51,907 --> 01:45:53,987
Speaker 2: the top of the leader board. And the first four

2105
01:45:54,107 --> 01:45:56,227
Speaker 2: or five holes from our leaders. What have been the

2106
01:45:56,267 --> 01:45:57,147
Speaker 2: major storylines.

2107
01:45:57,987 --> 01:46:01,707
Speaker 11: Well, it's been up and down. I think Kerry Mountcastle's

2108
01:46:01,707 --> 01:46:05,747
Speaker 11: probably had the most entertaining first five holes anyway. I

2109
01:46:05,827 --> 01:46:08,347
Speaker 11: think last time we spoke he had just got through

2110
01:46:08,707 --> 01:46:13,067
Speaker 11: the second mister Birdie part there he made birdie on three,

2111
01:46:13,867 --> 01:46:17,187
Speaker 11: which is the shortest past four, and it looked like

2112
01:46:17,267 --> 01:46:19,067
Speaker 11: he was about to get his round started. He had

2113
01:46:19,107 --> 01:46:22,067
Speaker 11: the short past three or so long f pas three

2114
01:46:22,187 --> 01:46:25,187
Speaker 11: which starts up the hill. That's the number four we

2115
01:46:25,387 --> 01:46:28,107
Speaker 11: watched in tee off. And then we lost the ball.

2116
01:46:28,507 --> 01:46:30,827
Speaker 11: Boy did we hear? At land It studded into the

2117
01:46:31,307 --> 01:46:34,387
Speaker 11: bunker at a million miles an hour, all but plugged,

2118
01:46:34,867 --> 01:46:37,747
Speaker 11: and then he required a stance something out of the

2119
01:46:37,827 --> 01:46:39,987
Speaker 11: mist and the argy textbook to try and get it

2120
01:46:40,067 --> 01:46:44,107
Speaker 11: out of there. Unfortunately went slightly long and gave that

2121
01:46:44,267 --> 01:46:47,747
Speaker 11: shot back. He just made par on five as his

2122
01:46:47,907 --> 01:46:52,187
Speaker 11: Dan Hillier and also Curtis luck so not a whole

2123
01:46:52,227 --> 01:46:54,507
Speaker 11: lot of ground made nor lost at the moment. Through

2124
01:46:54,587 --> 01:46:57,827
Speaker 11: five holes, we crossed now into the guts of the

2125
01:46:57,907 --> 01:47:02,507
Speaker 11: course the sixth before we start to make our way

2126
01:47:02,587 --> 01:47:05,827
Speaker 11: off towards the coronette part. Of the course. It is

2127
01:47:06,427 --> 01:47:08,667
Speaker 11: two courses merged into one when we get to the

2128
01:47:08,787 --> 01:47:09,867
Speaker 11: third and fourth rounds.

2129
01:47:10,667 --> 01:47:14,667
Speaker 2: We talked earlier on Mike about Daniel Hilly is hot

2130
01:47:14,787 --> 01:47:17,147
Speaker 2: hot finish to his third round, and you said that

2131
01:47:17,227 --> 01:47:20,267
Speaker 2: that gives all of the golfers belief that there are

2132
01:47:20,347 --> 01:47:23,067
Speaker 2: shots to be picked up right at the back end

2133
01:47:23,267 --> 01:47:25,307
Speaker 2: of this tournament. How much do you think that will

2134
01:47:25,307 --> 01:47:27,387
Speaker 2: play on the mind of those at the top of

2135
01:47:27,427 --> 01:47:29,627
Speaker 2: the leaderboard as they approach, you know, say the back

2136
01:47:29,707 --> 01:47:31,947
Speaker 2: sort of five or six holes of this tournament.

2137
01:47:32,507 --> 01:47:34,827
Speaker 11: I think they'll be absolutely aware of that, especially if

2138
01:47:34,827 --> 01:47:39,067
Speaker 11: they're chasing. The one caveat with that is that yesterday,

2139
01:47:39,147 --> 01:47:42,987
Speaker 11: when those scores were being made, conditions were perfect. Today

2140
01:47:43,147 --> 01:47:45,387
Speaker 11: the sun is out, that the wind is certainly up.

2141
01:47:45,667 --> 01:47:48,547
Speaker 11: So how that will change things have changed their approach,

2142
01:47:48,947 --> 01:47:52,347
Speaker 11: I don't know. In terms of the seventeenth the wind

2143
01:47:52,507 --> 01:47:55,667
Speaker 11: will still aphm. It will be over their shoulder, but

2144
01:47:55,827 --> 01:47:58,507
Speaker 11: certainly not into their faces as they try and make

2145
01:47:58,587 --> 01:48:03,467
Speaker 11: the par five and two. We would expect those leaders

2146
01:48:03,547 --> 01:48:07,187
Speaker 11: to get through those holes sort of maybe five close

2147
01:48:07,227 --> 01:48:10,507
Speaker 11: to six o'clock. That is when tension will be at

2148
01:48:10,547 --> 01:48:11,147
Speaker 11: its highest.

2149
01:48:11,867 --> 01:48:14,147
Speaker 2: Now, Yuki Miya was a guy that you and I

2150
01:48:14,267 --> 01:48:16,667
Speaker 2: both freely admitted we hadn't heard of before this tournament.

2151
01:48:16,707 --> 01:48:19,107
Speaker 2: But he had a terrific first couple of rounds. I

2152
01:48:19,147 --> 01:48:21,827
Speaker 2: think he was the leader when the cut was made.

2153
01:48:22,307 --> 01:48:23,947
Speaker 2: He's had a more difficult time of things in the

2154
01:48:24,467 --> 01:48:26,867
Speaker 2: third and fourth rounds today, but what a thrill for

2155
01:48:26,947 --> 01:48:28,587
Speaker 2: an amateur to come out and make a bit of

2156
01:48:28,627 --> 01:48:29,787
Speaker 2: a name for himself here too.

2157
01:48:30,707 --> 01:48:33,947
Speaker 11: Absolutely an incredible experience for him yesterday to play that

2158
01:48:34,067 --> 01:48:36,947
Speaker 11: round with Daniel Hillier with the huge gallery that he had.

2159
01:48:37,267 --> 01:48:39,427
Speaker 11: I think he freely admitted that he had never played

2160
01:48:39,427 --> 01:48:41,827
Speaker 11: in front of so many people, so that would have

2161
01:48:42,347 --> 01:48:45,387
Speaker 11: no doubt had some sort of effect. Today he's grouped

2162
01:48:45,467 --> 01:48:48,267
Speaker 11: with Stephen Alka. Alka is fifty four year old who

2163
01:48:48,267 --> 01:48:52,547
Speaker 11: has done incredible scenes on the PDA Champions Tour, and

2164
01:48:52,747 --> 01:48:55,707
Speaker 11: Miya is twenty years old, so there's thirty four years

2165
01:48:55,787 --> 01:48:58,947
Speaker 11: between him. Another opportunity for him to play alongside one

2166
01:48:58,987 --> 01:49:01,267
Speaker 11: of New Zealand's greats and learn a whole lot more.

2167
01:49:01,547 --> 01:49:03,787
Speaker 11: The name Yuki Mia is one that you will not

2168
01:49:03,987 --> 01:49:06,787
Speaker 11: be unfamiliar with in years to come.

2169
01:49:06,827 --> 01:49:10,027
Speaker 2: I guarantee you that, all right, Just to finish this

2170
01:49:10,187 --> 01:49:12,747
Speaker 2: report anyway and Thanks so much for all your work

2171
01:49:12,787 --> 01:49:15,427
Speaker 2: across the last couple of days on Weekend Sport, Mike,

2172
01:49:16,147 --> 01:49:18,827
Speaker 2: what's your gut mate? What score wins this? Well, Helly you?

2173
01:49:19,667 --> 01:49:21,787
Speaker 2: I mean if he wins it, or Herbert or maca,

2174
01:49:21,947 --> 01:49:24,067
Speaker 2: what are we talking? Twenty under? I mean, they're not

2175
01:49:24,107 --> 01:49:26,387
Speaker 2: gonna none of these guys, They're not. They're going to

2176
01:49:26,427 --> 01:49:29,747
Speaker 2: streak away and shoot shoot seven or eight under today.

2177
01:49:29,547 --> 01:49:29,827
Speaker 8: Do they?

2178
01:49:30,627 --> 01:49:33,427
Speaker 11: That is such a good question. It's a four horse

2179
01:49:33,507 --> 01:49:36,307
Speaker 11: race as far as you can see. Anyone else is

2180
01:49:36,387 --> 01:49:39,707
Speaker 11: probably just too far behind in these conditions. I would

2181
01:49:39,747 --> 01:49:42,987
Speaker 11: imagine if Helly you can sign for something like a

2182
01:49:43,107 --> 01:49:45,427
Speaker 11: three under or a four under at the end of today,

2183
01:49:45,907 --> 01:49:48,387
Speaker 11: he might well just have his hands on the Brady

2184
01:49:48,427 --> 01:49:49,067
Speaker 11: Breeze Trophy.

2185
01:49:50,107 --> 01:49:53,307
Speaker 2: Tremendous stuff. Mike, again, thank you so much for keeping

2191
01:50:10,347 --> 01:50:13,387
Speaker 2: right here, Daniel Hilly has the one shot lead that

2192
01:50:13,467 --> 01:50:15,627
Speaker 2: he had at the start of the round. He is

2193
01:50:15,747 --> 01:50:19,027
Speaker 2: eighteen under. He has parted the first five holes. Lucas

2194
01:50:19,107 --> 01:50:22,827
Speaker 2: Herbert and Kerry Mountcastle in a tie for second at

2195
01:50:22,987 --> 01:50:25,867
Speaker 2: seventeen under the card. Curtis luck Is all alone in

2196
01:50:25,947 --> 01:50:29,307
Speaker 2: fourth place at sixteen under, and then you drop down

2197
01:50:29,427 --> 01:50:33,107
Speaker 2: to a bunch of players at fourteen and thirteen under.

2198
01:50:33,267 --> 01:50:36,067
Speaker 2: We find another couple of key We's Michael Hendry who

2199
01:50:36,227 --> 01:50:39,107
Speaker 2: is two under throwe eleven holes today, twelve under for

2200
01:50:39,227 --> 01:50:42,747
Speaker 2: the tournament. Steven Elker Path through seven holes today to

2201
01:50:42,867 --> 01:50:47,307
Speaker 2: be twelve under for the tournament. And Yuki Miya, this

2202
01:50:47,467 --> 01:50:50,067
Speaker 2: amateur out of christ Church. You shot a sixty three

2203
01:50:50,707 --> 01:50:52,947
Speaker 2: on opening day, followed it up with a sixty seven

2204
01:50:52,987 --> 01:50:56,427
Speaker 2: to be the two round leader a seventy yesterday. He's

2205
01:50:56,427 --> 01:50:58,707
Speaker 2: two over path through seven holes today, but as I say,

2206
01:50:58,747 --> 01:51:01,467
Speaker 2: what an experience for him, eleven under for the tournament.

2207
01:51:01,547 --> 01:51:05,787
Speaker 2: Sam Jones another key we also at eleven under the card,

2208
01:51:07,427 --> 01:51:11,467
Speaker 2: twenty three away from three. Adam Hall shortly ahead of

2209
01:51:11,507 --> 01:51:14,987
Speaker 2: his sixth Winter Paralympic Games. Let's just check the cricket.

2210
01:51:17,107 --> 01:51:19,427
Speaker 2: Unless it's raining all my screen is frozen. It's still

2211
01:51:19,507 --> 01:51:22,587
Speaker 2: forty seven for seven fifty three for fifty four for eight.

2212
01:51:22,667 --> 01:51:25,907
Speaker 2: Now thanks Andy. Eight down now, so that partnership has

2213
01:51:25,947 --> 01:51:29,427
Speaker 2: been broken, but it was much needed a forty two

2214
01:51:29,587 --> 01:51:32,987
Speaker 2: run partnership for the eighth wicket to get them through

2215
01:51:33,027 --> 01:51:35,947
Speaker 2: to fifty two for eight. They are now fifty four

2216
01:51:36,067 --> 01:51:38,907
Speaker 2: for eight Zimbabwe and we're in the eighteenth over, so

2217
01:51:38,987 --> 01:51:41,107
Speaker 2: they might even beat the overs out, which I guess

2218
01:51:41,147 --> 01:51:44,347
Speaker 2: would be a victory in itself. We'll keep eyes on

2219
01:51:44,467 --> 01:51:47,427
Speaker 2: that for you, obviously, take a break. Come back, as

2220

2232
01:52:31,307 --> 01:52:33,947
Speaker 2: journey that began as an eighteen year old in Tono

2233
01:52:34,107 --> 01:52:37,467
Speaker 2: back in two thousand and six and comes full circle

2234
01:52:37,547 --> 01:52:40,747
Speaker 2: at Milana Cortina in twenty twenty six, more than two

2235
01:52:40,827 --> 01:52:43,827
Speaker 2: decades on from his debut, still right in the mix

2236
01:52:43,907 --> 01:52:46,227
Speaker 2: on the world stage, driven by the same love of skiing,

2237
01:52:46,707 --> 01:52:50,187
Speaker 2: but with the experience and perspective of a veteran who

2238
01:52:50,307 --> 01:52:52,707
Speaker 2: has literally seen it all. As he prepares for what

2239
01:52:52,867 --> 01:52:56,587
Speaker 2: could be his final Paralympics, Adam Hall is with us.

2240
01:52:56,827 --> 01:52:58,587
Speaker 2: Great to get the chance to chat to you, Adam.

2241
01:52:58,627 --> 01:53:03,547
Speaker 2: A sixth Paralympic game. Games that is incredibly rare company

2242
01:53:03,627 --> 01:53:06,227
Speaker 2: you put yourself in. Have you thought about what the

2243
01:53:06,507 --> 01:53:10,827
Speaker 2: milestone means all that come later when you do finally

2244
01:53:10,907 --> 01:53:11,547
Speaker 2: call it a day.

2245
01:53:12,347 --> 01:53:14,747
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, I think I think, as you say, Jason,

2246
01:53:15,187 --> 01:53:17,987
Speaker 9: thanks for having me on again, and I think, you know,

2247
01:53:18,107 --> 01:53:20,747
Speaker 9: it's something that you probably reflect on in time.

2248
01:53:20,867 --> 01:53:24,507
Speaker 27: It's not something that you really reflect on why you're in.

2249
01:53:24,587 --> 01:53:26,627
Speaker 9: It, though, I would say, you know, when I first

2250
01:53:27,067 --> 01:53:31,267
Speaker 9: started out, you know, twenty plus years ago, to think

2251
01:53:31,307 --> 01:53:34,187
Speaker 9: that I would still be here you probably wouldn't think so,

2252
01:53:35,427 --> 01:53:38,547
Speaker 9: So yeah, I think to still be here and still

2253
01:53:38,587 --> 01:53:42,347
Speaker 9: be really competitive, and to still be on World Cup podiums,

2254
01:53:42,387 --> 01:53:45,027
Speaker 9: et cetera, you know, it's quite remarkable.

2255
01:53:45,107 --> 01:53:46,587
Speaker 14: And to not just be.

2256
01:53:46,787 --> 01:53:50,427
Speaker 9: Participating, but to be competing for medals is, you know,

2257
01:53:50,587 --> 01:53:52,547
Speaker 9: something that I that I'm pretty proud of.

2258
01:53:53,067 --> 01:53:56,107
Speaker 2: When you think back to your debut and Torino two

2259
01:53:56,147 --> 01:53:59,507
Speaker 2: thousand and six as a teenager, how different are you

2260
01:53:59,587 --> 01:54:03,467
Speaker 2: as an athlete and a person heading into your sixth Games.

2261
01:54:04,787 --> 01:54:07,427
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I was pretty green going into Tereno.

2262
01:54:07,467 --> 01:54:10,187
Speaker 9: I remember in the downhill, actually before I even got

2263
01:54:10,267 --> 01:54:11,027
Speaker 9: to the first gate.

2264
01:54:11,107 --> 01:54:12,787
Speaker 27: Downhill was the fastest.

2265
01:54:12,347 --> 01:54:14,667
Speaker 9: Event that we have, where you have speeds up to

2266
01:54:14,827 --> 01:54:17,147
Speaker 9: you know, one hundred and fifteen plus kilometers an hour,

2267
01:54:17,227 --> 01:54:18,827
Speaker 9: and I got to the first gate and I was

2268
01:54:18,987 --> 01:54:21,027
Speaker 9: thinking to myself, what on Earth am I doing?

2269
01:54:23,107 --> 01:54:25,347
Speaker 27: You know, just getting to these speeds pretty green?

2270
01:54:25,427 --> 01:54:27,587
Speaker 9: When you first started out, it was something that you

2271
01:54:27,867 --> 01:54:29,587
Speaker 9: kind of was a must that you had to be

2272
01:54:29,707 --> 01:54:32,627
Speaker 9: doing every single event, So you know, to be going

2273
01:54:32,667 --> 01:54:35,267
Speaker 9: into a speed event pretty green, getting to the first.

2274
01:54:35,107 --> 01:54:37,067
Speaker 27: Gate thinking wild on Earth am I doing?

2275
01:54:37,147 --> 01:54:39,707
Speaker 9: And then spend a bit of time not doing speed

2276
01:54:39,827 --> 01:54:43,067
Speaker 9: and you know, I'm starting to specialize a little bit

2277
01:54:43,107 --> 01:54:45,627
Speaker 9: more and just get years of training and the mileage

2278
01:54:45,707 --> 01:54:48,227
Speaker 9: and everything, and yeah, I think now you just kind

2279
01:54:48,267 --> 01:54:51,947
Speaker 9: of look back at the journey and you learn, you

2280
01:54:52,107 --> 01:54:55,307
Speaker 9: learn along the way, and it does become something that

2281
01:54:55,427 --> 01:54:58,467
Speaker 9: you reflect on, is the journey, and you just yeah, naturally,

2282
01:54:59,107 --> 01:55:01,907
Speaker 9: I guess matura as an athletes and as a person

2283
01:55:01,987 --> 01:55:05,707
Speaker 9: as well. You know, skiing and having that, I guess

2284
01:55:06,067 --> 01:55:10,227
Speaker 9: on and privilege of representing country for twenty plus years

2285
01:55:10,267 --> 01:55:13,827
Speaker 9: from a really early age is something that builds character,

2286
01:55:13,987 --> 01:55:19,707
Speaker 9: builds life skills, You make lifelong friendships all over the world,

2287
01:55:20,107 --> 01:55:23,507
Speaker 9: which is pretty incredible. So it's it truly has you know,

2288
01:55:23,667 --> 01:55:26,067
Speaker 9: helped build me into the person that I am today,

2289
01:55:26,187 --> 01:55:28,667
Speaker 9: both you know, on snow and off snow.

2290
01:55:29,347 --> 01:55:33,107
Speaker 2: What has been the key to staying competitive all this time?

2291
01:55:34,987 --> 01:55:35,587
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I.

2292
01:55:35,627 --> 01:55:38,907
Speaker 9: Think it's just that strive to want to continue to

2293
01:55:39,387 --> 01:55:43,467
Speaker 9: be the best and try and you know, find anything

2294
01:55:43,547 --> 01:55:46,667
Speaker 9: it is that you do to not just do it

2295
01:55:46,787 --> 01:55:48,507
Speaker 9: to do it, but to try and excel at it

2296
01:55:48,987 --> 01:55:51,387
Speaker 9: the best that you can. And you know, I came

2297
01:55:51,467 --> 01:55:54,027
Speaker 9: through at a time where you know, our winter program

2298
01:55:54,267 --> 01:55:57,467
Speaker 9: and power and from the Paralympic perspective has always been

2299
01:55:57,547 --> 01:56:01,507
Speaker 9: really competitive. We brought back metals from every single Winter

2300
01:56:01,587 --> 01:56:05,107
Speaker 9: Paralympic Games except for my first one in two thousand

2301
01:56:05,147 --> 01:56:07,947
Speaker 9: and six. So for me, being a bit of an

2302
01:56:07,987 --> 01:56:10,267
Speaker 9: older soul, has been a little bit about you know,

2303
01:56:10,427 --> 01:56:13,267
Speaker 9: continuing on that legacy as well and doing whatever I

2304
01:56:13,387 --> 01:56:16,907
Speaker 9: can in my will power to be able to continue

2305
01:56:16,987 --> 01:56:20,587
Speaker 9: that on, to not just acknowledge the hard work and

2306
01:56:20,627 --> 01:56:23,067
Speaker 9: the results that I've personally been able to do, but

2307
01:56:23,187 --> 01:56:26,707
Speaker 9: also you know, highlight those that have been before me

2308
01:56:26,907 --> 01:56:31,307
Speaker 9: and that have you know, been successful and brought back

2309
01:56:31,507 --> 01:56:34,907
Speaker 9: medals for New Zealand, you know previous Winter Winter Games

2310
01:56:34,947 --> 01:56:37,107
Speaker 9: as well, which is pretty exciting as we look into

2311
01:56:37,147 --> 01:56:39,267
Speaker 9: some of the coverage where we're going to have some

2312
01:56:39,507 --> 01:56:42,907
Speaker 9: previous successful Winter PARALLEMPLIC athletes that are going to be

2313
01:56:43,027 --> 01:56:45,867
Speaker 9: helping broadcast, which is going to be pretty cool.

2314
01:56:45,947 --> 01:56:49,747
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking forward to that very much. After everything you've achieved,

2315
01:56:50,427 --> 01:56:53,547
Speaker 2: what still drives you to put in the work every day?

2316
01:56:55,107 --> 01:56:58,747
Speaker 9: Yeah, probably just comes back to that tire upbringing maybe

2317
01:56:58,867 --> 01:57:01,707
Speaker 9: and just understanding and knowing what a bit of hard

2318
01:57:01,787 --> 01:57:05,747
Speaker 9: work is and that's pretty much what it is, right is,

2319
01:57:06,467 --> 01:57:08,667
Speaker 9: you know, don't be afraid to put in a bit

2320
01:57:08,707 --> 01:57:09,307
Speaker 9: of hard work.

2321
01:57:09,387 --> 01:57:11,827
Speaker 27: Don't be afraid to have a dream and a goal.

2322
01:57:11,947 --> 01:57:13,707
Speaker 9: And you know, if you put in a bit of

2323
01:57:13,947 --> 01:57:17,307
Speaker 9: hard mahi, you can really surprise yourself. And you know

2324
01:57:17,387 --> 01:57:20,547
Speaker 9: when you work so hard towards something and when you

2325
01:57:20,667 --> 01:57:23,427
Speaker 9: start to reap the rewards, and it's plain and simple,

2326
01:57:23,507 --> 01:57:26,307
Speaker 9: it's just you know, not everybody wants to do that.

2327
01:57:26,507 --> 01:57:26,907
Speaker 8: A lot of.

2328
01:57:28,587 --> 01:57:31,947
Speaker 9: You know, athletes or people in general, there's a lot

2329
01:57:32,067 --> 01:57:35,347
Speaker 9: of everyone wanting to get to the top without putting

2330
01:57:35,387 --> 01:57:37,867
Speaker 9: in the work or without having to do the most

2331
01:57:37,987 --> 01:57:40,467
Speaker 9: and trying to get there by doing the minimum amount.

2332
01:57:40,547 --> 01:57:43,587
Speaker 9: And I think, you know, it's been rewarded, not just

2333
01:57:44,267 --> 01:57:48,667
Speaker 9: from a results perspective, but also from my body's perspective.

2334
01:57:48,787 --> 01:57:51,187
Speaker 9: And you know, still being able to keep you know,

2335
01:57:51,347 --> 01:57:54,267
Speaker 9: reasonably fit, reasonably healthy, even though along the way you

2336
01:57:54,387 --> 01:57:57,467
Speaker 9: have some kind of challenges that you overcome. But you know, hey,

2337
01:57:57,547 --> 01:58:00,107
Speaker 9: that's just kind of part of life. And we all

2338
01:58:00,147 --> 01:58:03,747
Speaker 9: have to overcome certain challenges at certain times, and that

2339
01:58:03,907 --> 01:58:05,627
Speaker 9: again is just yeah, part of the journey.

2340
01:58:06,347 --> 01:58:08,347
Speaker 2: I remember last time we spoke, it was was it

2341
01:58:08,427 --> 01:58:10,867
Speaker 2: Emerson's Brewery? Actually before the All Blacks test, you popped

2342
01:58:10,867 --> 01:58:12,267
Speaker 2: in We had a great chat that done. I remember

2343
01:58:12,307 --> 01:58:15,107
Speaker 2: you talked about the top two inches, which you know,

2344
01:58:15,307 --> 01:58:19,307
Speaker 2: I think in all sports is really really relevant. How

2345
01:58:19,427 --> 01:58:21,907
Speaker 2: has your mindset changed from the eighteen year old kid

2346
01:58:22,107 --> 01:58:24,067
Speaker 2: who got to that first gate thought what the heck

2347
01:58:24,107 --> 01:58:28,027
Speaker 2: am I doing here? To now? Are you calmer? More strategic?

2348
01:58:29,707 --> 01:58:29,867
Speaker 9: Yeah?

2349
01:58:29,907 --> 01:58:31,907
Speaker 27: I mean it's probably a bit a mixture of everything.

2350
01:58:32,027 --> 01:58:34,187
Speaker 9: And you know, you maybe do try and throw in

2351
01:58:34,267 --> 01:58:36,307
Speaker 9: a few mind games in there, and you try and

2352
01:58:36,427 --> 01:58:40,227
Speaker 9: rely on you know, those years and years and campaigns

2353
01:58:40,267 --> 01:58:44,347
Speaker 9: of experience and knowledge that you know, some other competitors

2354
01:58:44,467 --> 01:58:47,867
Speaker 9: don't don't quite have, you know, even if the first

2355
01:58:48,027 --> 01:58:52,067
Speaker 9: or second campaigns. So yeah, trying to draw definitely on

2356
01:58:52,187 --> 01:58:54,667
Speaker 9: those top two inches, and it's all about you know,

2357
01:58:54,827 --> 01:58:58,227
Speaker 9: as athletes, I guess we're in unique positions where you know,

2358
01:58:58,347 --> 01:59:01,547
Speaker 9: the difference between what we have and perhaps what others

2359
01:59:01,627 --> 01:59:03,827
Speaker 9: don't is that we have the tools to be able

2360
01:59:03,907 --> 01:59:07,507
Speaker 9: to deal with the pressures and to deal with the

2361
01:59:07,667 --> 01:59:10,427
Speaker 9: expectations and to deal with what's in front of us.

2362
01:59:10,587 --> 01:59:14,947
Speaker 9: And you know where that top two inches comes into places.

2363
01:59:15,147 --> 01:59:17,587
Speaker 9: Just yeah, understanding that you know, at the end of

2364
01:59:17,627 --> 01:59:20,427
Speaker 9: the day, it's just another it's just another competition.

2365
01:59:21,107 --> 01:59:24,387
Speaker 27: The only difference is this is a chance once.

2366
01:59:24,707 --> 01:59:28,427
Speaker 9: In a four year cycle where a lot of the population,

2367
01:59:28,787 --> 01:59:31,667
Speaker 9: both in our country and also around the world get

2368
01:59:31,747 --> 01:59:34,147
Speaker 9: to get to see and get a bit of exposure

2369
01:59:34,187 --> 01:59:36,987
Speaker 9: into what it is that we actually do day in

2370
01:59:37,067 --> 01:59:39,627
Speaker 9: and day out, which is pretty cool. But yeah, trying

2371
01:59:39,667 --> 01:59:43,427
Speaker 9: to use that mindset as much as possible. A lot

2372
01:59:43,467 --> 01:59:47,667
Speaker 9: of yeah, self talk, a lot of imagery, a lot

2373
01:59:47,747 --> 01:59:49,787
Speaker 9: of different tools that we can use and that I

2374
01:59:49,987 --> 01:59:53,587
Speaker 9: use as well to keep keep calm, keep focused, and

2375
01:59:54,187 --> 01:59:58,947
Speaker 9: keep keep on what's important and what's coming up ahead.

2376
01:59:58,987 --> 02:00:01,307
Speaker 9: And I think, you know, perspective is a good one

2377
02:00:01,307 --> 02:00:04,707
Speaker 9: as well. So everybody has a different perspective on you know,

2378
02:00:04,947 --> 02:00:08,707
Speaker 9: competition and life and so on, and so yeah, the

2379
02:00:08,787 --> 02:00:11,627
Speaker 9: perspective that I have, I think is through my journey

2380
02:00:11,707 --> 02:00:14,587
Speaker 9: has brought me to where I am today, and yeah,

2381
02:00:14,787 --> 02:00:17,747
Speaker 9: just understanding that, you know, hey, it's just another competition,

2382
02:00:17,987 --> 02:00:21,387
Speaker 9: and we keep to the keep to our processes, and

2383
02:00:21,467 --> 02:00:23,347
Speaker 9: we know if we ski well and we ski to

2384
02:00:23,427 --> 02:00:26,107
Speaker 9: how we have been and what we've been working towards,

2385
02:00:26,187 --> 02:00:27,667
Speaker 9: then the results will come.

2386
02:00:28,427 --> 02:00:31,187
Speaker 2: The margins are so fine, aren't they. An alpine skiing

2387
02:00:31,747 --> 02:00:34,867
Speaker 2: What separates a run that gets you on the podium

2388
02:00:34,907 --> 02:00:35,907
Speaker 2: from a run that doesn't.

2389
02:00:37,387 --> 02:00:40,667
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean the margins have always been small, but

2390
02:00:40,787 --> 02:00:43,707
Speaker 9: the margins are getting smaller and smaller. So nowadays I

2391
02:00:43,707 --> 02:00:45,787
Speaker 9: would say, no matter what the color of the metal,

2392
02:00:45,987 --> 02:00:47,907
Speaker 9: they all feel like they are a gold one just

2393
02:00:47,987 --> 02:00:51,547
Speaker 9: because of how competitive the competition is when we're talking

2394
02:00:51,587 --> 02:00:56,427
Speaker 9: about tents or hundreds of seconds, and I think, yeah,

2395
02:00:56,507 --> 02:01:00,267
Speaker 9: I mean, it comes down to having the right set

2396
02:01:00,347 --> 02:01:02,787
Speaker 9: up on the day, understand what the snow conditions are

2397
02:01:02,827 --> 02:01:05,667
Speaker 9: going to be. Like, we have world class ski texts

2398
02:01:05,667 --> 02:01:08,587
Speaker 9: and resources around us that are getting our equipment ready

2399
02:01:08,667 --> 02:01:12,187
Speaker 9: and dialed in, making sure we got right waxes based

2400
02:01:12,227 --> 02:01:16,107
Speaker 9: on snow temperatures and humidity and just a vast variety

2401
02:01:16,227 --> 02:01:17,187
Speaker 9: of different.

2402
02:01:18,787 --> 02:01:20,667
Speaker 27: Variables that happen on the day.

2403
02:01:20,947 --> 02:01:24,307
Speaker 9: And we have different equipment set up for different scenarios

2404
02:01:24,627 --> 02:01:28,147
Speaker 9: or you know, snow changes or you know, whatever it

2405
02:01:28,227 --> 02:01:30,467
Speaker 9: may be. So you know, we train day in and

2406
02:01:30,587 --> 02:01:33,027
Speaker 9: day out for kind of worst case scenario, and it's

2407
02:01:33,107 --> 02:01:36,627
Speaker 9: kind of that mentality of train hard, race easy, so

2408
02:01:36,787 --> 02:01:38,787
Speaker 9: that by the time we come to race day, we're

2409
02:01:38,827 --> 02:01:42,227
Speaker 9: prepared for absolutely anything that will come in front of us,

2410
02:01:42,747 --> 02:01:45,587
Speaker 9: and we're ready to walk towards that challenge and do

2411
02:01:45,667 --> 02:01:46,587
Speaker 9: our absolute best.

2412
02:01:47,507 --> 02:01:50,187
Speaker 2: When do you reckon you make a decision about twenty thirty.

2413
02:01:53,507 --> 02:01:55,027
Speaker 27: I might talk to you in April or Bay.

2414
02:01:55,067 --> 02:01:58,027
Speaker 2: I don't like I'm going to once we're done here.

2415
02:01:58,187 --> 02:02:00,827
Speaker 2: I know your focus is this. But again, HARKing back

2416
02:02:00,867 --> 02:02:03,387
Speaker 2: to our conversation, you know last year you didn't you

2417
02:02:03,427 --> 02:02:04,947
Speaker 2: didn't roll it out. I mean this is just six

2418
02:02:04,987 --> 02:02:07,707
Speaker 2: to one. You know, do you feel like you could

2419
02:02:07,747 --> 02:02:08,907
Speaker 2: go again? Could you go again?

2420
02:02:09,787 --> 02:02:11,987
Speaker 9: I mean it's been a big struggle getting through to

2421
02:02:12,067 --> 02:02:15,387
Speaker 9: these ones. You know, it's taken a lot of work,

2422
02:02:15,427 --> 02:02:18,267
Speaker 9: and it's taken a lot of effort from you know,

2423
02:02:18,347 --> 02:02:21,107
Speaker 9: a lot especially a lot of medical crew, just a

2424
02:02:21,227 --> 02:02:24,347
Speaker 9: lot of people around me to get to this position.

2425
02:02:24,547 --> 02:02:26,747
Speaker 9: So I'd hate to think what another four years would

2426
02:02:26,747 --> 02:02:28,387
Speaker 9: be like. Maybe I'd have to go and a sit

2427
02:02:28,507 --> 02:02:31,987
Speaker 9: ski Perhaps I talked to Corey. Yeah, but the thing

2428
02:02:32,707 --> 02:02:35,707
Speaker 9: in Paris Paris skiing is that, yeah, we have equipment

2429
02:02:35,787 --> 02:02:38,267
Speaker 9: that can get us down the mountain in different ways

2430
02:02:38,347 --> 02:02:42,147
Speaker 9: and forms of if need be. But yeah, in all seriousness,

2431
02:02:42,227 --> 02:02:44,707
Speaker 9: that be you know, discussions and figuring out what that

2432
02:02:44,907 --> 02:02:47,987
Speaker 9: may look like post games. You know, the last two

2433
02:02:48,027 --> 02:02:51,347
Speaker 9: seasons leading into into where I'm at now has been

2434
02:02:51,507 --> 02:02:54,147
Speaker 9: reason aatle bit well, actually really successful in some of

2435
02:02:54,507 --> 02:02:57,227
Speaker 9: the best seasons that I've had in recent memory, which

2436
02:02:57,627 --> 02:02:59,467
Speaker 9: you know, when you talk to my wife, she's kind

2437
02:02:59,507 --> 02:03:01,907
Speaker 9: of like, hell, are you still in there, old man?

2438
02:03:02,107 --> 02:03:05,227
Speaker 9: So you know, to still be still be pushing some

2439
02:03:05,387 --> 02:03:08,187
Speaker 9: of these fleets that are born now into the early

2440
02:03:08,267 --> 02:03:10,227
Speaker 9: two thousands, and you look at the start list in

2441
02:03:10,307 --> 02:03:12,667
Speaker 9: the years, that's yeah, pretty incredible.

2442
02:03:12,787 --> 02:03:15,747
Speaker 2: Absolutely nothing like having your number one supporter with a

2443
02:03:15,787 --> 02:03:16,947
Speaker 2: dose of realism as well.

2444
02:03:16,987 --> 02:03:17,387
Speaker 16: I love that.

2445
02:03:17,907 --> 02:03:20,667
Speaker 2: Just to finish my does it feel a bit full circle?

2446
02:03:20,747 --> 02:03:22,547
Speaker 2: I know there might be more, but you know, back

2447
02:03:22,587 --> 02:03:25,347
Speaker 2: to Italy twenty years later, does it feel a bit

2448
02:03:25,427 --> 02:03:26,347
Speaker 2: full circle for you?

2449
02:03:27,467 --> 02:03:28,547
Speaker 27: Yeah? No, I think it does.

2450
02:03:28,707 --> 02:03:31,227
Speaker 9: When you look at Terreno in Italy and you look

2451
02:03:31,307 --> 02:03:34,347
Speaker 9: at you know, the map and the journey and going

2452
02:03:34,427 --> 02:03:37,827
Speaker 9: from there to Vancouver and then onto Souchi and peong

2453
02:03:37,907 --> 02:03:40,787
Speaker 9: Chang and Beijing, and then you know, here we are,

2454
02:03:40,907 --> 02:03:43,067
Speaker 9: back in Italy where it all began. It is a

2455
02:03:43,107 --> 02:03:49,227
Speaker 9: full circle for sure. Yeah, feels natural. It feels I

2456
02:03:49,267 --> 02:03:51,347
Speaker 9: guess almost more like home. And I think it's just

2457
02:03:51,467 --> 02:03:53,987
Speaker 9: been more accessible with where we're at and where we're

2458
02:03:54,027 --> 02:03:56,907
Speaker 9: training compared to you know, say, the last three campaigns

2459
02:03:56,907 --> 02:03:59,267
Speaker 9: where they've been in parts of the world that are

2460
02:03:59,307 --> 02:04:01,747
Speaker 9: a little bit more remote, little bit more difficult to

2461
02:04:01,827 --> 02:04:04,707
Speaker 9: get to and to training. So to be here in

2462
02:04:04,747 --> 02:04:07,627
Speaker 9: the middle of the Dolomites is yeah, a very special place.

2463
02:04:07,987 --> 02:04:09,507
