74
00:04:06,787 --> 00:04:09,507
Speaker 2: for taking the time. I can't imagine a better build

75
00:04:09,587 --> 00:04:11,707
Speaker 2: up to a T twenty World Cup in India than

76
00:04:11,787 --> 00:04:15,347
Speaker 2: a five match series against India in those conditions, So

77
00:04:15,947 --> 00:04:18,147
Speaker 2: how helpful will that be? As you go chasing a

78
00:04:18,147 --> 00:04:18,747
Speaker 2: World Cup.

79
00:04:20,187 --> 00:04:22,747
Speaker 4: Nora's piny thanks Hami again, and yeah, I think it'll

80
00:04:22,787 --> 00:04:25,747
Speaker 4: be extremely important. I mean it's really a great walmart

81
00:04:25,827 --> 00:04:28,787
Speaker 4: leading into it. I've managed once fear like warm up games.

82
00:04:28,827 --> 00:04:30,387
Speaker 4: Well it's not really, but you'll have you know, one

83
00:04:30,467 --> 00:04:33,547
Speaker 4: hundred thousand people at the stadiums chanting India India, so

84
00:04:34,547 --> 00:04:35,947
Speaker 4: you know it could not have been prepp prep.

85
00:04:36,787 --> 00:04:38,947
Speaker 2: This seems like a very unlikely stat. I had to

86
00:04:39,027 --> 00:04:40,747
Speaker 2: check it, but I can only assume this is correct.

87
00:04:40,787 --> 00:04:42,987
Speaker 2: You've played thirty eight T twenties for New Zealand, but

88
00:04:43,067 --> 00:04:46,227
Speaker 2: you've only ever played against India once in a T

89
00:04:46,427 --> 00:04:48,587
Speaker 2: twenty international. That seems crazy to me.

90
00:04:49,347 --> 00:04:52,787
Speaker 4: That is crazy. I think a majority of those, well

91
00:04:52,867 --> 00:04:54,907
Speaker 4: actually a few of those teacher internationals I would have

92
00:04:54,907 --> 00:04:57,387
Speaker 4: been batting of seven or eight. I can over half

93
00:04:57,427 --> 00:04:59,867
Speaker 4: of them. So and that one game I've played against

94
00:04:59,867 --> 00:05:02,747
Speaker 4: India was a long time ago. I reckon five years

95
00:05:02,747 --> 00:05:05,747
Speaker 4: ago now almost four or five years ago. So yeah,

96
00:05:05,867 --> 00:05:07,587
Speaker 4: it's it's going to be good to get sort of

97
00:05:07,587 --> 00:05:08,947
Speaker 4: a five games flog against them.

98
00:05:09,467 --> 00:05:11,987
Speaker 2: You have played a lot of cricket in India though

99
00:05:12,067 --> 00:05:14,347
Speaker 2: last two seasons of IPL with Chennai. You'll be back

100
00:05:14,347 --> 00:05:16,587
Speaker 2: this year with the Cold Cutter Night Riders. Do you

101
00:05:16,627 --> 00:05:19,467
Speaker 2: feel now you've got a pretty good handle on Indian

102
00:05:19,547 --> 00:05:23,267
Speaker 2: conditions and what it takes to play successful T twenty

103
00:05:23,467 --> 00:05:24,307
Speaker 2: cricket over there.

104
00:05:25,427 --> 00:05:27,307
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess. I mean, I've been fortunate enough to

105
00:05:27,307 --> 00:05:30,667
Speaker 4: be involved in the IPL and it's sort of crazy tournament,

106
00:05:30,747 --> 00:05:35,107
Speaker 4: a amazing franchise tournament, but also the experience from one

107
00:05:35,187 --> 00:05:38,067
Speaker 4: days over there and growing up being able to visit

108
00:05:38,147 --> 00:05:40,707
Speaker 4: that country every other year and hone my skills. So

109
00:05:41,587 --> 00:05:43,787
Speaker 4: I guess so. But the thing is India always challenges

110
00:05:43,827 --> 00:05:46,387
Speaker 4: you in different ways, whether it's the different conditions They've

111
00:05:46,387 --> 00:05:49,307
Speaker 4: got million different stadiums it feels like over there with

112
00:05:49,347 --> 00:05:53,627
Speaker 4: different conditions and the quality of their bowlers, and obviously

113
00:05:53,627 --> 00:05:54,987
Speaker 4: the the off field stuff.

114
00:05:54,667 --> 00:05:55,307
Speaker 2: And all that.

115
00:05:55,387 --> 00:05:57,147
Speaker 4: But I think once you get a wee hang of

116
00:05:57,187 --> 00:05:59,547
Speaker 4: it and you experience that all you feel a little

117
00:05:59,547 --> 00:06:00,147
Speaker 4: bit more at home.

118
00:06:00,747 --> 00:06:06,427
Speaker 2: Are you able to articulate just how cricket mad the

119
00:06:06,467 --> 00:06:08,427
Speaker 2: Indian cricketing public are?

120
00:06:10,307 --> 00:06:14,427
Speaker 4: Yeah, I always always kind of quite difficult to communicate it,

121
00:06:14,427 --> 00:06:17,067
Speaker 4: but I guess, you know, it's it's crazy. You know,

122
00:06:17,107 --> 00:06:20,507
Speaker 4: I can't necessarily leave the hotel room. You know, that's

123
00:06:20,627 --> 00:06:23,147
Speaker 4: you sort of one person recognizes you and you get mobbed,

124
00:06:23,187 --> 00:06:25,707
Speaker 4: and that sort of stuff is a real pinch yourself moment.

125
00:06:25,747 --> 00:06:28,827
Speaker 4: I think it's all perspective, right. You feel grateful and

126
00:06:28,867 --> 00:06:30,747
Speaker 4: lucky enough you get to play a game that people

127
00:06:31,027 --> 00:06:33,187
Speaker 4: care so deeply about. On the other hand, you wish

128
00:06:33,187 --> 00:06:34,707
Speaker 4: you could go out for dinner even now and again.

129
00:06:34,787 --> 00:06:37,627
Speaker 4: But that's just life. But it's I mean that the

130
00:06:37,707 --> 00:06:40,467
Speaker 4: moments are amazing, you know, when you're when you're playing

131
00:06:40,547 --> 00:06:42,267
Speaker 4: in front of all those people, and the chants and

132
00:06:42,267 --> 00:06:44,107
Speaker 4: the screaming, and you know, if they like you, they

133
00:06:44,147 --> 00:06:47,947
Speaker 4: change your name and that stuff is you know, unbelievable.

134
00:06:48,307 --> 00:06:50,267
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean for you like a New Zealand

135
00:06:50,307 --> 00:06:52,427
Speaker 2: pli but well known in India. But I mean, it's

136
00:06:52,507 --> 00:06:54,947
Speaker 2: Rahul Dravid's birthday today. But he couldn't just go out

137
00:06:54,987 --> 00:06:55,627
Speaker 2: for dinner, could he?

138
00:06:56,867 --> 00:06:59,467
Speaker 4: Unfortunately not, You can't. You know, all those big stars

139
00:06:59,467 --> 00:07:02,147
Speaker 4: that's why they kind of live overseas and they don't

140
00:07:02,187 --> 00:07:05,267
Speaker 4: really get that much peace and they have to have big,

141
00:07:05,307 --> 00:07:07,587
Speaker 4: massive plots of land where you know, no one sort

142
00:07:07,587 --> 00:07:09,867
Speaker 4: of comes close to him, which was a crazy LUs

143
00:07:09,947 --> 00:07:12,027
Speaker 4: to live. I mean, I love obviously New Zealand being

144
00:07:12,067 --> 00:07:15,187
Speaker 4: a chillback nature, chilled out nature or other and people

145
00:07:15,187 --> 00:07:16,907
Speaker 4: come and say hi enough to photos and stuff, which

146
00:07:16,947 --> 00:07:19,867
Speaker 4: is fine, but over here they're just on another level.

147
00:07:20,547 --> 00:07:22,107
Speaker 2: So how do you assay us where the New Zealand

148
00:07:22,107 --> 00:07:24,427
Speaker 2: and T twenty side is heading into the World Cup.

149
00:07:25,907 --> 00:07:27,747
Speaker 4: I think, I mean, we look at that squad and

150
00:07:27,787 --> 00:07:29,867
Speaker 4: you see the amount of experience we have, I think

151
00:07:29,907 --> 00:07:33,107
Speaker 4: it's it's, you know, really exciting. I think we've got

152
00:07:33,227 --> 00:07:34,947
Speaker 4: a lot of guys who've played a lot of cricket

153
00:07:35,107 --> 00:07:37,707
Speaker 4: around the world, and not just for New Zealand but

154
00:07:37,747 --> 00:07:40,067
Speaker 4: in different franchise forments as well. I don't know the

155
00:07:40,227 --> 00:07:42,267
Speaker 4: combined amount of games that we've played, but I think

156
00:07:42,267 --> 00:07:45,547
Speaker 4: I saw some sort of status. It's over a thousand, comfortably,

157
00:07:45,667 --> 00:07:49,387
Speaker 4: So that's that's a lot of experience in the in

158
00:07:49,427 --> 00:07:52,907
Speaker 4: the group and I think that's that's an exciting place

159
00:07:52,907 --> 00:07:54,947
Speaker 4: to be. And obviously we've we've got a lot of

160
00:07:54,987 --> 00:07:57,347
Speaker 4: power and we've got guys coming back from injury which

161
00:07:57,347 --> 00:07:59,867
Speaker 4: is gonna be great, and obviously led by Sat who's

162
00:08:00,027 --> 00:08:01,947
Speaker 4: one of the best captains I've played under. Really so

163
00:08:02,067 --> 00:08:04,987
Speaker 4: calm and you know, a happy, go lucky guy. So

164
00:08:04,987 --> 00:08:07,187
Speaker 4: I'm excited for the challenge, how.

165
00:08:07,067 --> 00:08:08,787
Speaker 2: Much of a challenge would it be or I know

166
00:08:08,787 --> 00:08:10,227
Speaker 2: you've kept in sides as well, how much of a

167
00:08:10,307 --> 00:08:13,027
Speaker 2: challenge is it to captain aside in the you know,

168
00:08:13,067 --> 00:08:16,107
Speaker 2: the extremely fast moving format that tea Twitter is.

169
00:08:17,107 --> 00:08:20,027
Speaker 4: Yeah, see, I'm glad I'm not doing it. I think

170
00:08:20,067 --> 00:08:23,867
Speaker 4: it's certainly it's certainly tough, especially when the it's high

171
00:08:23,867 --> 00:08:26,107
Speaker 4: off change stuff and things that happening in every ball.

172
00:08:26,187 --> 00:08:28,147
Speaker 4: It feels like you have to be engaged in every

173
00:08:28,147 --> 00:08:31,507
Speaker 4: single ball and communicating with the bowler and having great

174
00:08:31,507 --> 00:08:33,787
Speaker 4: relationships to them. And I think it's more than just

175
00:08:33,907 --> 00:08:35,707
Speaker 4: on the field. It's also how you carry yourself off

176
00:08:35,747 --> 00:08:37,947
Speaker 4: the field in terms of what you say, and you've

177
00:08:37,947 --> 00:08:39,867
Speaker 4: got to be aware of who you're talking to, how

178
00:08:39,907 --> 00:08:42,947
Speaker 4: are you talking to them, getting around certain guys, And

179
00:08:43,027 --> 00:08:45,467
Speaker 4: also on top of that is the extra meetings and

180
00:08:45,507 --> 00:08:48,507
Speaker 4: the communicator with the coach and everything. So it's a

181
00:08:48,547 --> 00:08:50,827
Speaker 4: big job. It's a big job, and I think someone

182
00:08:50,867 --> 00:08:53,067
Speaker 4: like Stat handles it pretty nicely. And I think it

183
00:08:53,827 --> 00:08:57,707
Speaker 4: can be mentally taxing, i'd imagine, especially at these tournaments

184
00:08:57,707 --> 00:08:59,347
Speaker 4: where there's so much to do and it's so much

185
00:08:59,387 --> 00:09:01,187
Speaker 4: to think about, especially when you're playing so many different

186
00:09:01,187 --> 00:09:03,867
Speaker 4: teams in a short space of time. But you know,

187
00:09:03,867 --> 00:09:06,787
Speaker 4: people people like sat At other model captains and laid

188
00:09:06,827 --> 00:09:08,747
Speaker 4: back and trust as players.

189
00:09:08,747 --> 00:09:11,547
Speaker 2: Really, you've been playing T twenty cricket now for coming

190
00:09:11,627 --> 00:09:15,827
Speaker 2: up seven years in various forms. Here's the way you

191
00:09:16,027 --> 00:09:18,827
Speaker 2: bat in T twenty cricket changed very much.

192
00:09:20,107 --> 00:09:21,867
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think it had. I mean I've

193
00:09:21,867 --> 00:09:25,427
Speaker 4: probably gone through, you know, every cycle you can imagine

194
00:09:25,467 --> 00:09:28,867
Speaker 4: it is better. I think probably started up top for

195
00:09:28,947 --> 00:09:30,987
Speaker 4: Wellington sort of top three when I was when I

196
00:09:31,027 --> 00:09:34,507
Speaker 4: was quite young, and sort of drifted sort of play

197
00:09:34,547 --> 00:09:37,747
Speaker 4: to the bowler and for New Jellen and also for

198
00:09:37,787 --> 00:09:40,067
Speaker 4: Wellington term and that sort of six for an eight

199
00:09:40,147 --> 00:09:43,107
Speaker 4: role and that that's been interesting too. I guess my

200
00:09:43,147 --> 00:09:47,147
Speaker 4: tempo has definitely changed. I mean the times I've realized

201
00:09:47,307 --> 00:09:48,707
Speaker 4: I don't need to go as hard or I need

202
00:09:48,747 --> 00:09:51,387
Speaker 4: to go as hard, and still obviously trying to find

203
00:09:51,427 --> 00:09:53,227
Speaker 4: and that's the thing we're always learning, so still trying

204
00:09:53,227 --> 00:09:56,227
Speaker 4: to find that middle ground. But ultimately, you know, I

205
00:09:56,227 --> 00:09:59,147
Speaker 4: think the way T twenty is trending at the moment.

206
00:09:59,187 --> 00:10:01,467
Speaker 4: If you're taking the game on more often than not,

207
00:10:01,707 --> 00:10:03,667
Speaker 4: you're you know, you're doing it in the right way.

208
00:10:03,667 --> 00:10:05,147
Speaker 4: And also it's important to do it in your own

209
00:10:05,187 --> 00:10:08,267
Speaker 4: way rickingizing what your shots are and how you play

210
00:10:08,307 --> 00:10:10,667
Speaker 4: the game. You know, and there's certain guys who can,

211
00:10:11,147 --> 00:10:13,067
Speaker 4: you know, pump out and get deep in the box

212
00:10:13,147 --> 00:10:15,507
Speaker 4: and smash everym to look here, I'm not necessarily that

213
00:10:15,507 --> 00:10:18,747
Speaker 4: guy all the time hopefully can do, but I just

214
00:10:18,787 --> 00:10:21,507
Speaker 4: want to stick to the way I play and hopefully

215
00:10:21,507 --> 00:10:23,067
Speaker 4: a high strike rate and drive.

216
00:10:22,827 --> 00:10:23,387
Speaker 5: A team forward.

217
00:10:24,027 --> 00:10:25,907
Speaker 2: And as you mentioned, you've filled a number of roles

218
00:10:25,907 --> 00:10:27,187
Speaker 2: on the batting wall of the New Zealand you go

219
00:10:27,187 --> 00:10:29,707
Speaker 2: open the batting you've bett at six seven eight. Do

220
00:10:29,747 --> 00:10:31,627
Speaker 2: you feel now though, right and as though you've found

221
00:10:31,627 --> 00:10:34,267
Speaker 2: a natural home at number three for New Zealand and

222
00:10:34,267 --> 00:10:36,587
Speaker 2: T twenty Yeah, I think so.

223
00:10:36,707 --> 00:10:38,987
Speaker 4: I mean, you never want to look too far ahead,

224
00:10:39,027 --> 00:10:41,427
Speaker 4: but it's a place I've enjoyed batting and it's nice

225
00:10:41,427 --> 00:10:44,107
Speaker 4: to get the backing of everyone. That's my spot. I mean,

226
00:10:44,147 --> 00:10:46,347
Speaker 4: it's a spot that's been filled by Caine for a

227
00:10:46,347 --> 00:10:48,907
Speaker 4: long period of time and he's obviously been amazing in

228
00:10:48,947 --> 00:10:51,267
Speaker 4: that role. So for me, again, it's not trying to

229
00:10:51,307 --> 00:10:53,027
Speaker 4: be luck anyone else. It's kind of doing it my

230
00:10:53,107 --> 00:10:54,987
Speaker 4: way in assessing and lucky.

231
00:10:54,827 --> 00:10:55,147
Speaker 6: Enough for me.

232
00:10:55,187 --> 00:10:57,627
Speaker 4: I've had that experience batting in different positions as well,

233
00:10:57,667 --> 00:11:01,027
Speaker 4: and around the world too, so mostly top three or four,

234
00:11:01,147 --> 00:11:04,547
Speaker 4: so it's given me. I guess if I could choose

235
00:11:04,547 --> 00:11:06,547
Speaker 4: a place about until twenty three, number three. I think

236
00:11:06,947 --> 00:11:09,627
Speaker 4: it's great because you can get of everything. Really if

237
00:11:09,667 --> 00:11:12,667
Speaker 4: you're in earlier, your assess and you rebuild, or if

238
00:11:12,667 --> 00:11:14,187
Speaker 4: you lose a couple of wickets, but if not, then

239
00:11:14,467 --> 00:11:16,147
Speaker 4: you're come in the tenth and you can come out

240
00:11:16,187 --> 00:11:18,307
Speaker 4: and send it. So it's a cool role, and I

241
00:11:18,347 --> 00:11:20,707
Speaker 4: think it's a role that has a big effect on

242
00:11:20,747 --> 00:11:23,827
Speaker 4: the team and whatever that sort of rollers on an

243
00:11:24,027 --> 00:11:25,267
Speaker 4: any format, I'm happy to play.

244
00:11:26,067 --> 00:11:28,547
Speaker 2: I feel like you should bowl more than T twenty

245
00:11:29,027 --> 00:11:31,507
Speaker 2: than you have. Do you think you'll have a more

246
00:11:31,547 --> 00:11:34,787
Speaker 2: significant bowling role to play in India?

247
00:11:34,907 --> 00:11:36,747
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I mean, I'm always happy to

248
00:11:37,107 --> 00:11:38,507
Speaker 4: do the role for the team. I probably need to

249
00:11:38,627 --> 00:11:40,467
Speaker 4: bowl a few more overs in nets. I think padding

250
00:11:40,547 --> 00:11:44,507
Speaker 4: takes the priority at the moment, but nah, it sort

251
00:11:44,547 --> 00:11:47,627
Speaker 4: of worked interestingly. Like I feel like most of the

252
00:11:47,787 --> 00:11:49,867
Speaker 4: tournaments away I bowl a lot of overs.

253
00:11:49,907 --> 00:11:50,507
Speaker 7: I mean your.

254
00:11:50,667 --> 00:11:53,347
Speaker 4: Champions Trophy, I was bowling over five six over the

255
00:11:53,347 --> 00:11:55,747
Speaker 4: game and those Odi eyes Odio will Cup, I was

256
00:11:56,147 --> 00:11:58,147
Speaker 4: up close to ten overs the game sort of thing,

257
00:11:58,187 --> 00:12:00,227
Speaker 4: And I think it's just the nature of the surfaces

258
00:12:00,307 --> 00:12:01,627
Speaker 4: here in the Zell. And you know, when you've got

259
00:12:02,107 --> 00:12:03,987
Speaker 4: one of the best bowles in the world and Santana

260
00:12:04,227 --> 00:12:06,747
Speaker 4: being a left dump spinner, that's his over and you

261
00:12:06,747 --> 00:12:09,587
Speaker 4: don't necessarily need too much more left dumpspin, but in

262
00:12:09,747 --> 00:12:12,187
Speaker 4: conditions over there, and hopefully I can provide a bit

263
00:12:12,187 --> 00:12:13,827
Speaker 4: of balance to the team, be that fifth or sixth

264
00:12:13,827 --> 00:12:17,187
Speaker 4: bowler if they're for you right handers in and yeah,

265
00:12:17,187 --> 00:12:19,147
Speaker 4: it's something I enjoy. I think T twenty bowling is

266
00:12:19,187 --> 00:12:22,547
Speaker 4: probably my best bowling format. I guess being able to

267
00:12:22,587 --> 00:12:26,027
Speaker 4: think like a banner and go about it in that

268
00:12:26,067 --> 00:12:27,707
Speaker 4: way and trying to skin the cat a little bit more,

269
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:30,267
Speaker 4: a little bit different, and I think in terms of

270
00:12:30,267 --> 00:12:32,507
Speaker 4: that stuff, it excites me. You know, guys coming at

271
00:12:32,547 --> 00:12:34,667
Speaker 4: you and when you know you're the six, fifth, six option,

272
00:12:34,947 --> 00:12:36,667
Speaker 4: guys will look to take you down. So still always

273
00:12:36,707 --> 00:12:37,587
Speaker 4: trying to be a head of the game.

274
00:12:38,227 --> 00:12:40,427
Speaker 2: There's new players obviously putting their hands up for black

275
00:12:40,427 --> 00:12:43,347
Speaker 2: Caps election now. One of them's Bevan Jacob. Season the

276
00:12:43,427 --> 00:12:46,467
Speaker 2: squad for the matches against India, not the World Cup squad.

277
00:12:46,507 --> 00:12:48,347
Speaker 2: But what he's got two hundred and fifty runs and

278
00:12:48,387 --> 00:12:51,547
Speaker 2: four runnings in the Super Smash, averaging eighty three, striking

279
00:12:51,587 --> 00:12:53,707
Speaker 2: at one eighty one. What have you made of his

280
00:12:53,747 --> 00:12:54,507
Speaker 2: T twenty betting?

281
00:12:55,667 --> 00:12:57,747
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a He's a powerful player, isn't he. I

282
00:12:57,787 --> 00:13:00,587
Speaker 4: haven't played too much cricket against all with him only

283
00:13:01,067 --> 00:13:03,507
Speaker 4: of late, and it seems like he's growing as the

284
00:13:03,547 --> 00:13:06,267
Speaker 4: cricketers of the person too and starting to understand their

285
00:13:06,387 --> 00:13:08,427
Speaker 4: I'm in a bit better and he's He's obviously a

286
00:13:08,507 --> 00:13:10,467
Speaker 4: very good cricket and I'm excited to see how he developed.

287
00:13:10,507 --> 00:13:11,827
Speaker 4: I mean I was just watching him last night and

288
00:13:12,147 --> 00:13:14,107
Speaker 4: a couple of bonds here, jeez, I was one hundred

289
00:13:14,427 --> 00:13:17,467
Speaker 4: easily and you can take longside on. So he's definitely

290
00:13:17,467 --> 00:13:18,667
Speaker 4: got a big future ahead of him.

291
00:13:19,387 --> 00:13:21,507
Speaker 2: And just I know your tea twenties your focus. But

292
00:13:22,067 --> 00:13:24,227
Speaker 2: the test there is before Christmas against the West indiast

293
00:13:24,267 --> 00:13:26,667
Speaker 2: profitable one for you. I have a three hundred runs

294
00:13:26,707 --> 00:13:28,787
Speaker 2: for three times out big one hundred in christ Church

295
00:13:29,307 --> 00:13:32,507
Speaker 2: as you look ahead to England away India at home

296
00:13:32,547 --> 00:13:35,747
Speaker 2: and then four Tests in Australia next summer I know

297
00:13:35,787 --> 00:13:37,707
Speaker 2: you love your Test cricket. How much does the schedule

298
00:13:37,787 --> 00:13:38,547
Speaker 2: like that excite you?

299
00:13:39,467 --> 00:13:42,667
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean it's I'm smiling thinking about it. You know,

300
00:13:42,747 --> 00:13:45,347
Speaker 4: it's places you want to play, you dream of playing.

301
00:13:45,347 --> 00:13:47,827
Speaker 4: This moment, you're watching the S's at home and thinking, damn,

302
00:13:47,947 --> 00:13:51,707
Speaker 4: we're actually there next year. So first off is really exciting.

303
00:13:51,747 --> 00:13:54,107
Speaker 4: Like like I said, I loved his cricket, so obviously

304
00:13:54,147 --> 00:13:56,987
Speaker 4: that the format we hold dearest to our hearts, and

305
00:13:57,027 --> 00:13:59,267
Speaker 4: it was a proper one for us as the team

306
00:13:59,267 --> 00:14:01,347
Speaker 4: against West Indy's and they played some good cricket at

307
00:14:01,347 --> 00:14:05,387
Speaker 4: times too, So I mean it's exciting. Like I'm I'm

308
00:14:05,547 --> 00:14:08,267
Speaker 4: I guess that it's hard to say you're fully focused

309
00:14:08,427 --> 00:14:10,787
Speaker 4: on what's some point now, but it's the Tea two

310
00:14:10,787 --> 00:14:12,627
Speaker 4: any stuff at the moment, and it's a long period

311
00:14:12,707 --> 00:14:15,747
Speaker 4: until those English Red Ball games. But when you're training

312
00:14:15,747 --> 00:14:18,067
Speaker 4: and stuff, when you get days in between these games,

313
00:14:18,107 --> 00:14:20,587
Speaker 4: I think it's sort of looking forward to that and

314
00:14:20,667 --> 00:14:23,107
Speaker 4: still keeping up with that Red Bull game because we

315
00:14:23,147 --> 00:14:25,947
Speaker 4: know it's a huge heavy diet of red Bull coming

316
00:14:26,027 --> 00:14:26,387
Speaker 4: up soon.

317
00:14:26,867 --> 00:14:29,707
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking forward to that and exciting twelve or so

Speaker 2: months ahead for the black Caps. Rutchan, Thanks for joining us, mate.

Speaker 4: Just fine, appreciate it mate, tak care.

322
00:14:38,307 --> 00:14:40,347
Speaker 2: You take care to you mate. Thanks. Indeed, ruch and

323
00:14:40,547 --> 00:14:43,947
Speaker 2: ravendraup joining us there ahead of the five match T

324
00:14:43,947 --> 00:14:46,867
Speaker 2: twenty series against India. There's the one day is to

325
00:14:46,907 --> 00:14:49,027
Speaker 2: start Ruchians obviously not in that team. He's still here

326
00:14:49,067 --> 00:14:51,547
Speaker 2: in New Zealand, will travel out shortly to link up

327
00:14:51,587 --> 00:14:55,067
Speaker 2: with the T twenty squad to face India and those

328
00:14:55,107 --> 00:14:58,547
Speaker 2: five matches and then onto the T twenty World Cup.

329
00:14:58,867 --> 00:15:02,387
Speaker 2: Just listening to Ruch in there talk about you know,

330
00:15:02,627 --> 00:15:06,307
Speaker 2: being in India and how yeah, and I've heard him

331
00:15:06,347 --> 00:15:08,667
Speaker 2: speak about this before and at a couple of functions

332
00:15:08,667 --> 00:15:12,147
Speaker 2: I've been at. And the fact that now he is

333
00:15:13,347 --> 00:15:16,547
Speaker 2: so recognizable in India that he actually can't go out

334
00:15:17,027 --> 00:15:19,947
Speaker 2: really and get a coffee or or you know, pop

335
00:15:19,987 --> 00:15:23,987
Speaker 2: out to the shops and you know, in fact, they

336
00:15:24,027 --> 00:15:27,947
Speaker 2: are advised not to and if they were to do

337
00:15:27,987 --> 00:15:30,267
Speaker 2: that go down to a mall like we, you know,

338
00:15:30,307 --> 00:15:31,827
Speaker 2: we pop out for a coffee, we go down the mall,

339
00:15:31,867 --> 00:15:36,147
Speaker 2: do some shopping whatever. The malls simply will not allow

340
00:15:36,227 --> 00:15:41,347
Speaker 2: cricketers to do that, because as soon as the cricket

341
00:15:41,987 --> 00:15:47,947
Speaker 2: crazy Indian population get wind of the fact that there

342
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:50,867
Speaker 2: are a couple of cricketers at that mall, the place

343
00:15:51,027 --> 00:15:56,027
Speaker 2: just becomes like a riot. It just like hundreds and

344
00:15:56,147 --> 00:15:59,627
Speaker 2: hundreds of people just turn up to catch a glimpse

345
00:15:59,627 --> 00:16:02,267
Speaker 2: of the likes of Ruchian that and that's you know,

346
00:16:02,307 --> 00:16:08,267
Speaker 2: the overseas players ms done much in ten Dolka. You

347
00:16:08,307 --> 00:16:14,947
Speaker 2: know ver Utt Koley, These players who you know are

348
00:16:15,067 --> 00:16:19,387
Speaker 2: just absolute gods over there basically have to live a

349
00:16:19,427 --> 00:16:23,827
Speaker 2: life where they can't be part of normal society. I mean,

350
00:16:24,147 --> 00:16:28,707
Speaker 2: it's crazy and so ruch And, as I said, I heard,

351
00:16:28,747 --> 00:16:30,907
Speaker 2: I'm talking he talked there about how here in New Zealand,

352
00:16:31,427 --> 00:16:34,187
Speaker 2: I think we I mean, obviously we we love our cricket,

353
00:16:34,187 --> 00:16:36,667
Speaker 2: we love our rugby, we love our sports stars. But

354
00:16:36,747 --> 00:16:39,067
Speaker 2: I think we're more like if we saw ruch And

355
00:16:39,187 --> 00:16:43,667
Speaker 2: Ravendra or Cain Williamson or Mitchell sand out and about,

356
00:16:43,987 --> 00:16:45,467
Speaker 2: more often than not, you might just give them the

357
00:16:45,547 --> 00:16:48,147
Speaker 2: up eyebrows, mate, Hey, all the best for the weekend.

358
00:16:48,187 --> 00:16:51,187
Speaker 2: Same with our all blacks. We saw Scott Barrett's or

359
00:16:51,987 --> 00:16:54,867
Speaker 2: Bowden Barrett's or will Jordan whoever it is out and

360
00:16:54,907 --> 00:16:58,427
Speaker 2: about okay mate, I mean, there's no way we would

361
00:16:58,427 --> 00:17:01,467
Speaker 2: be at the same level as Indian cricket fans. They're mad,

362
00:17:01,907 --> 00:17:05,427
Speaker 2: absolutely bonkers. But then you think, okay, well that is

363
00:17:05,427 --> 00:17:09,267
Speaker 2: the country that dry the sport globally. The other thing

364
00:17:09,267 --> 00:17:12,707
Speaker 2: about Ruchian, just before we move on, he was in

365
00:17:12,747 --> 00:17:15,307
Speaker 2: the nets at the latest Super Smash game I think

366
00:17:15,347 --> 00:17:16,827
Speaker 2: it was. They're all double head as of course, so

367
00:17:16,907 --> 00:17:19,667
Speaker 2: the women typically play first most of the time anyway,

368
00:17:19,667 --> 00:17:21,707
Speaker 2: and then the men play, and Ruchian was having a

369
00:17:21,747 --> 00:17:24,667
Speaker 2: net at the basin and it was while the women's

370
00:17:24,667 --> 00:17:26,387
Speaker 2: game was on, so there's already quite a big crowd

371
00:17:26,387 --> 00:17:28,107
Speaker 2: at the basin. And as he left the nets and

372
00:17:28,187 --> 00:17:31,107
Speaker 2: walked back to the changing rooms, that just walks them

373
00:17:31,107 --> 00:17:34,827
Speaker 2: through basically past the crowd and the number of kids

374
00:17:34,987 --> 00:17:37,707
Speaker 2: in particular who and I said before, you know, we

375
00:17:37,747 --> 00:17:40,507
Speaker 2: normally just give them the up eyebrows and get a mate. Kids,

376
00:17:40,547 --> 00:17:43,067
Speaker 2: he's like the pied piper. They had just drawn to him.

377
00:17:43,587 --> 00:17:48,027
Speaker 2: Every single kid got an autograph, for a selfie, whatever

378
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:54,547
Speaker 2: they wanted, a handshake, a high five. He is spectacularly

379
00:17:54,627 --> 00:18:00,107
Speaker 2: good at that stuff. Ruchian Revendra a high quality human being.

380
00:18:00,947 --> 00:18:02,547
Speaker 2: So yeah, looking forward to seeing how he and the

381
00:18:02,587 --> 00:18:05,387
Speaker 2: black Caps go. So it's kind of a weird one

382
00:18:05,427 --> 00:18:09,547
Speaker 2: in terms of these squad odds. The T twenty World

383
00:18:09,547 --> 00:18:13,707
Speaker 2: Cup squad features players who aren't in the squad for

384
00:18:13,747 --> 00:18:17,507
Speaker 2: this five match T twenty series because they've got other commitments.

385
00:18:17,867 --> 00:18:22,107
Speaker 2: So Finn Allen, Lockie Ferguson, Adam Milne, and Tim Seiford

386
00:18:22,627 --> 00:18:29,387
Speaker 2: aren't in the squad for the five match series. Zach Folks,

387
00:18:29,467 --> 00:18:32,507
Speaker 2: Kyle Jamison, Bevin, Jacob so I mentioned and Tim Robinson

388
00:18:32,627 --> 00:18:35,267
Speaker 2: are but at the end of that series don't come home.

389
00:18:35,547 --> 00:18:38,227
Speaker 2: I think Jamison staying is cover. But the others will

390
00:18:38,227 --> 00:18:41,027
Speaker 2: come home and then Alan, Ferguson, Miln and Seiford will

391
00:18:41,347 --> 00:18:45,467
Speaker 2: take their place for the World Cup. Hugely exciting time ahead,

392
00:18:45,507 --> 00:18:48,547
Speaker 2: and you look at the squad. Here's our World Cup squad.

393
00:18:48,747 --> 00:18:51,907
Speaker 2: Santa's the captain, Finn Allen, Michael Brace, will Mark Chapman,

394
00:18:51,987 --> 00:18:55,907
Speaker 2: Devin Conway, Jacob Duffy, Lockey, Ferguson, Matt Henry, Darrell Mitchell,

395
00:18:56,307 --> 00:18:59,867
Speaker 2: Adam Milne, Jimmy Nisham, Glenn Phillips, Ruch and Ravender, Tim Seifert,

396
00:18:59,987 --> 00:19:03,107
Speaker 2: h Sody. It's good team ready, good team, lots of options,

397
00:19:03,147 --> 00:19:06,227
Speaker 2: lots of power hitting, lots of spinners in there as well,

398
00:19:06,787 --> 00:19:08,787
Speaker 2: and spin will be a factor as we always know

399
00:19:08,827 --> 00:19:11,467
Speaker 2: on the subcontinent. I think we can do quite excited

400
00:19:11,467 --> 00:19:14,707
Speaker 2: about what the T twenty World Cup might hold. And

401
00:19:14,707 --> 00:19:18,387
Speaker 2: that's the thing with that format, I know. It's the

402
00:19:18,747 --> 00:19:22,187
Speaker 2: way it's set up is that there's four groups of

403
00:19:22,267 --> 00:19:25,867
Speaker 2: five to start with, so you play everybody in that group,

404
00:19:25,907 --> 00:19:27,627
Speaker 2: so that's four games. You finish in the top two,

405
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:30,547
Speaker 2: you go into a into a super eights round where

406
00:19:30,587 --> 00:19:32,867
Speaker 2: you play three more games than a semi inter final,

407
00:19:32,907 --> 00:19:35,307
Speaker 2: So it's that nine games if you reach the final,

408
00:19:36,387 --> 00:19:38,867
Speaker 2: and T twenty is one of those games, isn't it.

409
00:19:38,907 --> 00:19:41,947
Speaker 2: As we know by now that you know on your

410
00:19:42,027 --> 00:19:44,707
Speaker 2: day you can beat anybody, you just got to stack

411
00:19:44,747 --> 00:19:48,027
Speaker 2: a few of those days. Looking forward to seeing how

412
00:19:48,067 --> 00:19:49,987
Speaker 2: they go. Twelve twenty seven News Talks There be This

413
00:19:50,067 --> 00:19:51,467
Speaker 2: is weekend sport back in a second.

414
00:19:52,427 --> 00:19:55,307
Speaker 1: Don't get caught off side eight hundred and eighty eighty

415
00:19:55,667 --> 00:19:59,347
Speaker 1: Weekends for Us with Jason Paine and GJ. Gardner Homes

416
00:19:59,547 --> 00:20:01,387
Speaker 1: New Zealand's most trusted home builder.

417
00:20:01,507 --> 00:20:02,347
Speaker 6: News Talks, B.

418
00:20:03,067 --> 00:20:05,547
Speaker 2: Twelve thirty I want to talk about mccle's field and

419
00:20:05,627 --> 00:20:08,027
Speaker 2: just to see incredible giant killing in the FA Cup,

420
00:20:08,107 --> 00:20:10,427
Speaker 2: just on the team. I just as the break was playing,

421
00:20:10,427 --> 00:20:12,387
Speaker 2: I read out those fifteen names before I just kind

422
00:20:12,387 --> 00:20:14,547
Speaker 2: of thought, well, what would our best eleven be out

423
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:16,707
Speaker 2: of that fifteen? I feel like Fin Allen and Tim

424
00:20:16,747 --> 00:20:18,627
Speaker 2: Sithe will open. So if it will be wicket keeper

425
00:20:18,947 --> 00:20:21,947
Speaker 2: right in at three, then I think this is just

426
00:20:22,027 --> 00:20:27,947
Speaker 2: me spitballing. Darryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Michael brace Will at six,

427
00:20:28,027 --> 00:20:31,347
Speaker 2: Mitchell Santner at seven, Jimmy Nichham at eight, then Henry

428
00:20:31,467 --> 00:20:37,187
Speaker 2: Sody Ferguson. That gives you the pace bowling of Ferguson

429
00:20:37,267 --> 00:20:41,947
Speaker 2: and Henry with Nichesham there as well, and four spin

430
00:20:42,027 --> 00:20:45,467
Speaker 2: bowling options in Santna who's always going to bowl as

431
00:20:45,467 --> 00:20:48,427
Speaker 2: four over Sody, one of our great T twenty wicket takers.

432
00:20:49,907 --> 00:20:53,107
Speaker 2: Glenn Phillips and ruch In, Revendra, Daryl Mitchell could bowl

433
00:20:53,187 --> 00:20:55,227
Speaker 2: but if you want them to as well. So it

434
00:20:55,307 --> 00:20:58,787
Speaker 2: gives you a lot of bowling options and I think

435
00:20:58,787 --> 00:21:00,267
Speaker 2: pretty good balance. I feel like it's going to be

436
00:21:00,267 --> 00:21:01,827
Speaker 2: spin heavy over there. I don't think you go in

437
00:21:01,867 --> 00:21:04,987
Speaker 2: with three frontline Steamers. I don't, for example, think that

438
00:21:05,707 --> 00:21:08,987
Speaker 2: Henry Fergus and Duffy or Milon will all play in

439
00:21:09,027 --> 00:21:12,147
Speaker 2: the same eleven. Not on our best team anyway, And

440
00:21:12,187 --> 00:21:14,387
Speaker 2: when you think about World Cups past how New Zealand

441
00:21:14,427 --> 00:21:18,187
Speaker 2: have negotiated them, they usually settle fairly early on on

442
00:21:18,267 --> 00:21:22,667
Speaker 2: their best eleven, certainly the top order and maybe tweet

443
00:21:22,707 --> 00:21:25,867
Speaker 2: things around the bowlers. But I feel like Alan Seiford,

444
00:21:25,907 --> 00:21:30,147
Speaker 2: Revendra Mitchell Phillips, maybe Chapman's in there. I think Devin

445
00:21:30,147 --> 00:21:32,427
Speaker 2: Conway might just have to wait for an opportunity, which

446
00:21:32,427 --> 00:21:35,027
Speaker 2: seems odd rad given how you know, how good he

447
00:21:35,107 --> 00:21:37,227
Speaker 2: has been across a number of formats for a long time.

448
00:21:37,227 --> 00:21:40,427
Speaker 2: But those power hitters I feel at the top. Alan Seiford,

449
00:21:41,027 --> 00:21:45,267
Speaker 2: Revendra Mitchell Phillips, that feels like what we might do anyway.

450
00:21:46,187 --> 00:21:48,387
Speaker 2: Even talking about the order makes me excited about this

451
00:21:48,427 --> 00:21:51,467
Speaker 2: T twenty Cricket World Cup very much, looking forward to it

452
00:21:51,507 --> 00:21:55,507
Speaker 2: getting underweight. The FA Cup has seen this morning one

453
00:21:55,547 --> 00:21:57,707
Speaker 2: of its biggest ever upsets.

454
00:21:58,227 --> 00:22:14,147
Speaker 8: Jai China teams Macclesfield FC, who compete in the sixth

455
00:22:14,307 --> 00:22:18,947
Speaker 8: tier of British football, have upset defending champions Crystal Palace

456
00:22:19,107 --> 00:22:20,787
Speaker 8: two to one in the third round.

457
00:22:20,867 --> 00:22:25,627
Speaker 2: Macclesfield are ranked five divisions and one hundred and seventeen

458
00:22:25,747 --> 00:22:29,427
Speaker 2: places below their Premier League opponents. It's the first time

459
00:22:30,027 --> 00:22:34,027
Speaker 2: a non league team has eliminated the FA Cup Holders

460
00:22:34,067 --> 00:22:38,427
Speaker 2: since ironically enough, Crystal Palace themselves knocked Wolves out in

461
00:22:38,467 --> 00:22:44,147
Speaker 2: the first round in nineteen eight nine. Macclefield also became

462
00:22:44,187 --> 00:22:46,867
Speaker 2: the first non league team to score twice in an

463
00:22:46,987 --> 00:22:50,187
Speaker 2: FA Cup match against a Premier League team since Kettering

464
00:22:50,307 --> 00:22:53,387
Speaker 2: Town against Fulham in two thousand and nine, the first

465
00:22:53,427 --> 00:22:55,227
Speaker 2: time a non league team has scored twice in an

466
00:22:55,347 --> 00:22:59,187
Speaker 2: FA Cup match against the holders since run Corn against

467
00:22:59,227 --> 00:23:03,987
Speaker 2: Preston in nineteen thirty nine. Fans at Macclesfield's five thousand

468
00:23:03,987 --> 00:23:07,627
Speaker 2: capacity stadium in Cheshire stormed the field in jubilation after

469
00:23:07,627 --> 00:23:10,867
Speaker 2: the final whistle, a win earned against the backdrop of Treasuredy.

470
00:23:10,987 --> 00:23:14,147
Speaker 2: Last month, striker Ethan McLeod died in a car accident

471
00:23:14,547 --> 00:23:17,907
Speaker 2: while traveling back from a game. Macclesfield will liquidate it

472
00:23:18,347 --> 00:23:21,547
Speaker 2: and expelled from the league in twenty twenty, but they

473
00:23:21,587 --> 00:23:25,747
Speaker 2: were revived after being purchased by a local businessman by

474
00:23:25,787 --> 00:23:29,147
Speaker 2: the name of Robert Smithhurst. He spoke with the BBC

475
00:23:29,307 --> 00:23:32,227
Speaker 2: after this historical result. They wanted to know if had

476
00:23:32,347 --> 00:23:32,747
Speaker 2: sunk in.

477
00:23:33,267 --> 00:23:34,027
Speaker 6: Absolutely not.

478
00:23:34,747 --> 00:23:37,867
Speaker 7: I'm actually saw the ground as the party scenes are incredible,

479
00:23:38,387 --> 00:23:41,107
Speaker 7: still coolly, about a thousand people here still celebrating in

480
00:23:41,147 --> 00:23:43,507
Speaker 7: the bars and the restaurants and you know what.

481
00:23:43,547 --> 00:23:45,067
Speaker 6: An absolute epic win.

482
00:23:45,347 --> 00:23:46,947
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't think this is going to sink

483
00:23:46,987 --> 00:23:48,387
Speaker 7: in for a very very long time.

484
00:23:48,707 --> 00:23:51,227
Speaker 9: How did it feel just listening to that commentary as well,

485
00:23:51,267 --> 00:23:53,507
Speaker 9: because that's one thing you won't have experienced yet is

486
00:23:53,547 --> 00:23:55,187
Speaker 9: how it sounded to everybody else.

487
00:23:56,707 --> 00:23:58,387
Speaker 7: Yeah, look, I think I think, you know, I can't

488
00:23:58,387 --> 00:24:01,267
Speaker 7: believe that we're actually you know, dreams, dreams are made

489
00:24:01,267 --> 00:24:03,467
Speaker 7: of this and you know, to put Macclesfield on the

490
00:24:03,507 --> 00:24:05,507
Speaker 7: map like we have done, you know, bringing the heartbeat

491
00:24:05,507 --> 00:24:08,027
Speaker 7: back to Macclesfield and the way that the lads performed

492
00:24:08,067 --> 00:24:12,187
Speaker 7: today was absolutely outstanding and what an incredible winner. You know,

493
00:24:12,267 --> 00:24:15,547
Speaker 7: if we've made history then even better, you know, incredible story.

494
00:24:16,027 --> 00:24:19,827
Speaker 9: Team, town and community have been through a lot, long

495
00:24:19,947 --> 00:24:21,947
Speaker 9: term and short term. What does this mean?

496
00:24:23,827 --> 00:24:25,347
Speaker 7: You know, when I bought the club five years ago,

497
00:24:25,387 --> 00:24:26,987
Speaker 7: I believe it. I'm off right move, you know, I

498
00:24:26,987 --> 00:24:29,707
Speaker 7: never dreamt of the situation and to see to see

499
00:24:29,707 --> 00:24:32,987
Speaker 7: the fans today celebrating, you know, in the thousands and thousands,

500
00:24:33,827 --> 00:24:35,867
Speaker 7: it means so much. And to see the football club

501
00:24:37,027 --> 00:24:39,427
Speaker 7: celebrate this victory and to see the fans out on

502
00:24:39,467 --> 00:24:43,427
Speaker 7: the streets and celebrations. You know, Mamclesfield is absolutely buzzing.

503
00:24:45,267 --> 00:24:45,827
Speaker 6: These winds.

504
00:24:45,907 --> 00:24:48,507
Speaker 9: Like you're saying, sorry, Rob, I thought we'd lost you

505
00:24:48,547 --> 00:24:48,907
Speaker 9: for a second.

506
00:24:48,947 --> 00:24:51,507
Speaker 6: Move Okay, I'm here, that's right.

507
00:24:51,667 --> 00:24:53,347
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was just saying, you know what an unbelievable

508
00:24:53,427 --> 00:24:56,907
Speaker 7: experience for everybody at Macclesfield, and you know what an

509
00:24:56,947 --> 00:24:57,947
Speaker 7: unbelievable situation.

510
00:24:57,987 --> 00:24:59,227
Speaker 6: Who would have ever dreamt this?

511
00:25:00,067 --> 00:25:01,667
Speaker 9: Did you just say you bought the club off?

512
00:25:01,747 --> 00:25:01,947
Speaker 10: Right?

513
00:25:02,067 --> 00:25:04,547
Speaker 6: Move? Yeah? I did? Believe or not?

514
00:25:04,587 --> 00:25:06,347
Speaker 7: I was on a four day bender. I'm not gonna lie,

515
00:25:06,547 --> 00:25:10,107
Speaker 7: and you know I was alright me probably not in

516
00:25:10,107 --> 00:25:12,387
Speaker 7: the best world. Just sold my company and thought I'm bored,

517
00:25:12,387 --> 00:25:14,507
Speaker 7: and you know, I thought this was something that I

518
00:25:14,547 --> 00:25:16,987
Speaker 7: wanted to do. And you know who would have thought it?

519
00:25:17,027 --> 00:25:20,547
Speaker 7: You know, three promotions and then standing here now, playing

520
00:25:20,587 --> 00:25:23,947
Speaker 7: against Crystal Palace and winning against the title holders has

521
00:25:24,107 --> 00:25:26,107
Speaker 7: just been absolutely what a feeling.

522
00:25:26,427 --> 00:25:29,467
Speaker 9: You know, we talk about sort of dreams and giant killings,

523
00:25:29,467 --> 00:25:32,627
Speaker 9: but was this something that was even a dream or

524
00:25:32,627 --> 00:25:35,507
Speaker 9: does it feel too fantastical to even classes that?

525
00:25:36,667 --> 00:25:40,147
Speaker 7: It's absolutely off the shots of anything that I could

526
00:25:40,187 --> 00:25:42,947
Speaker 7: ever imagined. You know, I believe that we would absolutely

527
00:25:42,947 --> 00:25:43,707
Speaker 7: get smashed today.

528
00:25:43,747 --> 00:25:45,387
Speaker 5: I generally thought that we would be six or.

529
00:25:45,387 --> 00:25:47,667
Speaker 7: Seven zerl down, you know, I mean, I was laughing

530
00:25:47,707 --> 00:25:50,107
Speaker 7: to myself, going, we made ten minutes, we made twenty minutes,

531
00:25:50,147 --> 00:25:51,707
Speaker 7: you know, before I thought that they would come in

532
00:25:51,707 --> 00:25:55,427
Speaker 7: and absolutely destroyers. And you know, the lad's performance was amazing.

533
00:25:55,467 --> 00:25:57,947
Speaker 7: You know, they were playing through the thirds. The way

534
00:25:57,987 --> 00:26:01,387
Speaker 7: that the team played was absolutely outstanding, and to see

535
00:26:01,747 --> 00:26:05,987
Speaker 7: what they've achieved today is just unreal. So yeah, one

536
00:26:05,987 --> 00:26:08,507
Speaker 7: of those moments probably that goes down in the history books,

537
00:26:08,587 --> 00:26:11,507
Speaker 7: you know, is unbelievable, And to be fair, you know,

538
00:26:11,907 --> 00:26:13,187
Speaker 7: I still can't actually believe it.

539
00:26:14,387 --> 00:26:16,627
Speaker 9: Rub I have to ask you for an exclusive to

540
00:26:16,667 --> 00:26:19,507
Speaker 9: finish things off. Here, are you taking the team to

541
00:26:19,587 --> 00:26:19,987
Speaker 9: a beether?

542
00:26:21,227 --> 00:26:22,067
Speaker 6: Do you know what It's funny?

543
00:26:22,107 --> 00:26:23,907
Speaker 7: I mentioned that twice today, but do you know what

544
00:26:24,027 --> 00:26:26,227
Speaker 7: I don't know, but you don't know idea?

545
00:26:26,667 --> 00:26:26,907
Speaker 6: Do you know?

546
00:26:26,947 --> 00:26:28,507
Speaker 7: The funny thing is they've tried to be sober for

547
00:26:28,547 --> 00:26:30,747
Speaker 7: the last four years, but maybe tonight it might be

548
00:26:30,787 --> 00:26:33,747
Speaker 7: a relapse and who knows, it might be a crazy one.

549
00:26:33,747 --> 00:26:34,707
Speaker 6: But no, no, of course not.

550
00:26:35,507 --> 00:26:37,107
Speaker 7: I'm just going to enjoy it and maybe we go

551
00:26:37,267 --> 00:26:39,947
Speaker 7: to a bether and maybe I take the boys away

552
00:26:39,987 --> 00:26:42,587
Speaker 7: and at some point, maybe at the end of the season,

553
00:26:42,627 --> 00:26:44,907
Speaker 7: once we've tried to go for the promotional pus.

554
00:26:44,947 --> 00:26:49,147
Speaker 2: That is the rather croaky voice of the owner of Meclesfield,

555
00:26:49,467 --> 00:26:53,547
Speaker 2: Robert Smitht, who bought the club after they were expelled

556
00:26:53,587 --> 00:26:56,947
Speaker 2: from the league and liquidated five years ago. Now they

557
00:26:57,027 --> 00:27:01,147
Speaker 2: might be a small club, but they have passionate fans everywhere,

558
00:27:01,187 --> 00:27:03,907
Speaker 2: including here in New Zealand. Who would have thought would

559
00:27:03,947 --> 00:27:08,347
Speaker 2: find a meccles Field Town or Ecclesfield FC fain and

560
00:27:08,387 --> 00:27:10,147
Speaker 2: New Zealand. But we have Nils on the line.

561
00:27:10,187 --> 00:27:10,467
Speaker 6: Neil.

562
00:27:10,507 --> 00:27:13,107
Speaker 2: How big a day is this for your club?

563
00:27:13,867 --> 00:27:18,427
Speaker 11: Absolutely huge? What a day to be a Macclesfield fan.

564
00:27:18,907 --> 00:27:24,307
Speaker 11: The Maclisfield Town went bust in twenty twenty, Robert Schmertherst

565
00:27:24,507 --> 00:27:29,387
Speaker 11: revived the club and this I've lost the words and

566
00:27:29,467 --> 00:27:32,147
Speaker 11: lost the words tiny, What a day to be a

567
00:27:32,187 --> 00:27:32,667
Speaker 11: mac fan.

568
00:27:32,907 --> 00:27:37,987
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody loves an upset on third round weekend,

569
00:27:38,067 --> 00:27:42,387
Speaker 2: but surely even the most ardent of fans yourself included

570
00:27:42,787 --> 00:27:45,467
Speaker 2: couldn't possibly have expected this, or did you? Did you

571
00:27:45,587 --> 00:27:47,987
Speaker 2: harbor hope when you went to bed last night that

572
00:27:48,027 --> 00:27:49,747
Speaker 2: you might wake up to a result like this?

573
00:27:50,547 --> 00:27:52,667
Speaker 4: Absolutely not, absolutely not.

574
00:27:53,227 --> 00:27:59,347
Speaker 12: Back in about two thousand and ten and eleven we

575
00:27:59,427 --> 00:28:02,107
Speaker 12: drew Bolton Wanderers at home in the FA Cup and

576
00:28:02,147 --> 00:28:04,067
Speaker 12: we got a one old draw and that was when

577
00:28:04,147 --> 00:28:05,107
Speaker 12: replays were a thing.

578
00:28:05,227 --> 00:28:07,747
Speaker 11: We went back to the then Rebok Stadium and we

579
00:28:08,187 --> 00:28:10,467
Speaker 11: lost one nil. So that was the magic of the

580
00:28:10,467 --> 00:28:13,387
Speaker 11: cook for me. But waking up to that result this morning,

581
00:28:13,507 --> 00:28:17,347
Speaker 11: first thing I did ring ringma mates who were at

582
00:28:17,387 --> 00:28:20,147
Speaker 11: the stadium and they were like they played them off

583
00:28:20,187 --> 00:28:23,947
Speaker 11: the part To a man, Macclesfield were by far the

584
00:28:23,987 --> 00:28:26,907
Speaker 11: better team. Even Glasner, the manager said.

585
00:28:26,667 --> 00:28:30,947
Speaker 2: So what sort of state were your mates and celebrating,

586
00:28:30,987 --> 00:28:32,347
Speaker 2: no doubt, what.

587
00:28:33,147 --> 00:28:36,987
Speaker 11: A little bit in coherent. I think there would be

588
00:28:37,027 --> 00:28:40,587
Speaker 11: a few shandies knocking around the old Silk Town this evening,

589
00:28:40,667 --> 00:28:43,747
Speaker 11: for sure, mate. But what what a day to be

590
00:28:43,787 --> 00:28:44,387
Speaker 11: a mac fan.

591
00:28:44,667 --> 00:28:46,467
Speaker 2: And as you say, they deserved it. I've had a

592
00:28:46,467 --> 00:28:48,627
Speaker 2: look at a couple of highlights and read some reports

593
00:28:48,627 --> 00:28:50,507
Speaker 2: and you did right, Neil. It's not as though this

594
00:28:50,667 --> 00:28:53,267
Speaker 2: was a smash and grab Byny street of the imagination.

595
00:28:53,307 --> 00:28:55,587
Speaker 2: I mean even scoring two goals against a Premier League

596
00:28:55,587 --> 00:28:58,667
Speaker 2: opponent for a team like Mecle's Field. So so what

597
00:28:58,827 --> 00:29:02,387
Speaker 2: now then into the into the hit for the fourth rounds. Look,

598
00:29:02,387 --> 00:29:04,947
Speaker 2: do you start to dream about another day like this?

599
00:29:05,867 --> 00:29:08,787
Speaker 11: And well you've got to pulleds And I saw the

600
00:29:08,947 --> 00:29:11,427
Speaker 11: report on Match of the Day. He pulled us from

601
00:29:11,467 --> 00:29:13,667
Speaker 11: the captain who scored the first goal with the header

602
00:29:14,107 --> 00:29:15,947
Speaker 11: said well we're going to win it now, aren't we?

603
00:29:16,507 --> 00:29:18,227
Speaker 13: And you can't back.

604
00:29:18,867 --> 00:29:22,987
Speaker 4: He can't really back against it. But you know you've

605
00:29:23,027 --> 00:29:26,027
Speaker 4: got a dream that the spirit of the FA.

606
00:29:25,947 --> 00:29:29,187
Speaker 2: Cup is alive and well, and your boss has got

607
00:29:29,267 --> 00:29:30,867
Speaker 2: a feely famous surname.

608
00:29:30,507 --> 00:29:32,667
Speaker 6: Too, Yes Rooney.

609
00:29:32,747 --> 00:29:37,467
Speaker 11: Wayne Rooney's brother John Rooney played for Mclefield Town when

610
00:29:37,827 --> 00:29:40,907
Speaker 11: we were in League two and then obviously the club

611
00:29:40,947 --> 00:29:45,267
Speaker 11: went bust. When they reformed the club, Maclefield FC brought

612
00:29:45,307 --> 00:29:49,267
Speaker 11: him back as a player. They've had so many managers

613
00:29:49,267 --> 00:29:51,747
Speaker 11: because Robbie Savage was also involved with the club as

614
00:29:51,747 --> 00:29:55,787
Speaker 11: well as director of football and manager last season and

615
00:29:55,787 --> 00:29:57,987
Speaker 11: then when he moved on to Forest Green Overs, they

616
00:29:57,987 --> 00:30:00,787
Speaker 11: brought John Rooney and as the manager. They currently sat

617
00:30:00,787 --> 00:30:05,707
Speaker 11: fourteenth in the table, but he's done wonders, he's done wonders. No,

618
00:30:06,107 --> 00:30:08,227
Speaker 11: when he said John Rooney was going to be the manager,

619
00:30:08,547 --> 00:30:11,107
Speaker 11: I had my doubts. I had my doubts. I'm not

620
00:30:11,147 --> 00:30:13,787
Speaker 11: gonna lie, but what he's done is fantastic.

621

Speaker 2: people know, as a roller coaster. There are a lot

623
00:30:21,547 --> 00:30:23,587
Speaker 2: of I was gonna say ups and downs. There's a

624
00:30:23,627 --> 00:30:25,547
Speaker 2: lot of downs, and for a club like Mecclesfield, it's

625
00:30:25,587 --> 00:30:28,387
Speaker 2: been through the ringers. So have you Have you celebrated

Speaker 14: Guang Shanyu, who quietly went about her business earlier in

664
00:32:32,067 --> 00:32:34,227
Speaker 14: the week, lands in the decider with.

665
00:32:34,307 --> 00:32:37,347
Speaker 2: Her bang yeah. The final schedule for five o'clock this afternoon.

666
00:32:37,387 --> 00:32:39,507
Speaker 2: Part of Sky's world class coverage has been the best

667
00:32:39,507 --> 00:32:42,427
Speaker 2: in the business. Commentator Ricky Swinell, who you heard calling

668
00:32:42,467 --> 00:32:45,547
Speaker 2: both of those semis? She joins us now Ricky. Elena's

669
00:32:45,547 --> 00:32:49,027
Speaker 2: Fittelina needed just ninety minutes to beat American Eva Jovich

670
00:32:49,107 --> 00:32:52,587
Speaker 2: and straight sets. By contrast, one Chen you survived a

671
00:32:52,667 --> 00:32:57,787
Speaker 2: marathon match against Filipino player Alexandra Iala. So will Spittelina's

672
00:32:58,387 --> 00:33:01,267
Speaker 2: relative freshness be a major factor in the final?

673
00:33:01,307 --> 00:33:04,267
Speaker 13: Do you think it could be? Piny Nice to chat

674
00:33:04,307 --> 00:33:09,147
Speaker 13: to you, By the way, Swiderlina the night before had

675
00:33:09,187 --> 00:33:12,467
Speaker 13: had a pretty incredible match too. She was on court

676
00:33:12,467 --> 00:33:16,267
Speaker 13: for well over two hours and her quarterfinal was although

677
00:33:16,307 --> 00:33:20,147
Speaker 13: slightly short, sorry her round her second round match. Oh,

678
00:33:20,147 --> 00:33:21,627
Speaker 13: here's my words. This is a good start to the

679
00:33:21,707 --> 00:33:24,467
Speaker 13: day because think of abound match. Even though it was straight,

680
00:33:24,507 --> 00:33:27,147
Speaker 13: so it was also lengthy. So so Swidelina has had

681
00:33:27,187 --> 00:33:30,147
Speaker 13: some lengthy time on court as well. Yes, will be

682
00:33:30,187 --> 00:33:32,667
Speaker 13: relatively fresher, but once she knew got off court pretty well.

683
00:33:32,707 --> 00:33:35,907
Speaker 13: And look, these athletes are supreme. We always say this,

684
00:33:36,187 --> 00:33:38,667
Speaker 13: we talk about in tennis. You know, the fatigue factor

685
00:33:38,707 --> 00:33:41,307
Speaker 13: and it it certainly does come into play, but they

686
00:33:41,347 --> 00:33:45,427
Speaker 13: are just at the absolute fine tune elements of their

687
00:33:45,467 --> 00:33:47,947
Speaker 13: career right They're coming off their off season. Switz Alina

688
00:33:47,987 --> 00:33:50,827
Speaker 13: had a very long off season. She finished finished up

689
00:33:50,827 --> 00:33:53,547
Speaker 13: her twenty twenty five season quite early, so she has

690
00:33:53,587 --> 00:33:55,867
Speaker 13: had a lengthy break as well in getting those matches

691
00:33:55,947 --> 00:33:58,427
Speaker 13: under the belt. So look, it could always be a factor,

692
00:33:58,467 --> 00:34:02,107
Speaker 13: but they've both probably spent overall about the same amount

693
00:34:02,107 --> 00:34:03,067
Speaker 13: of time on court this.

694
00:34:02,987 --> 00:34:05,947
Speaker 2: Week, So Stilian and Nita just as I say, an

695
00:34:05,987 --> 00:34:08,347
Speaker 2: hour a half to beat American Eva Jovich. Did you

696
00:34:08,387 --> 00:34:11,947
Speaker 2: think Jovich might provide a slightly sterner test.

697
00:34:12,427 --> 00:34:14,987
Speaker 13: Oh, I think she did provide a stern test, remembering

698
00:34:15,027 --> 00:34:17,707
Speaker 13: she served for the first set, and I think five

699
00:34:17,787 --> 00:34:20,267
Speaker 13: to two in the first Swittilina was well down and

700
00:34:20,907 --> 00:34:22,867
Speaker 13: at five three she serves for the first set, and

701
00:34:22,907 --> 00:34:26,987
Speaker 13: she also had some breakpoint opportunities earlier. And you know matches,

702
00:34:27,507 --> 00:34:30,227
Speaker 13: when you're playing the quality of Sittilina can swing on

703
00:34:30,267 --> 00:34:32,787
Speaker 13: a dime and you can pinpoint two moments for Jovic

704
00:34:33,147 --> 00:34:36,907
Speaker 13: where that happened where she didn't capitalize. Look, she's just

705
00:34:36,987 --> 00:34:39,707
Speaker 13: turned eighteen thirty five in the world. She's going to

706
00:34:39,747 --> 00:34:43,387
Speaker 13: have an incredible career. But it shows her as a

707
00:34:43,467 --> 00:34:45,387
Speaker 13: young player what you need to do to beat the

708
00:34:45,507 --> 00:34:47,747
Speaker 13: very best, and Switzilina has been one of the very

709
00:34:47,787 --> 00:34:49,747
Speaker 13: best for it for a long long time and all

710
00:34:49,787 --> 00:34:53,427
Speaker 13: of that experience tells so I think she'll be really pleased.

711
00:34:53,427 --> 00:34:56,147
Speaker 13: And in the way that Switzerlina, she was so locked

712
00:34:56,187 --> 00:34:59,827
Speaker 13: in in that second set, just could not miss, had

713
00:34:59,827 --> 00:35:02,667
Speaker 13: her game under total control. And so some lessons there

714
00:35:02,707 --> 00:35:04,827
Speaker 13: for Yovich for sure, but there was there were some

715
00:35:04,907 --> 00:35:06,907
Speaker 13: tests there for Switilina without it out.

716
00:35:07,227 --> 00:35:10,347
Speaker 2: The first semi absolutely epic, wasn't it one? Should you

717
00:35:10,467 --> 00:35:15,067
Speaker 2: beating Alexandra Iala and her wonderful legion of fans as well?

718
00:35:15,107 --> 00:35:19,507
Speaker 2: Five seven seven, five six four What eventually gave it

719
00:35:19,267 --> 00:35:22,467
Speaker 2: to one shouldn't you what gave her the edge?

720
00:35:23,147 --> 00:35:25,867
Speaker 13: She served incredibly well. She's served the most bases of

721
00:35:26,347 --> 00:35:28,547
Speaker 13: any player in the tournament. She had ten in the

722
00:35:28,587 --> 00:35:31,067
Speaker 13: match and a big moment it really came up Trump's

723
00:35:31,067 --> 00:35:32,787
Speaker 13: where it might not have been an ace, but there

724
00:35:32,787 --> 00:35:35,907
Speaker 13: were a lot of unreturnables or serves that would set

725
00:35:35,947 --> 00:35:38,267
Speaker 13: up the point for her. Remember she saved a match

726
00:35:38,307 --> 00:35:41,827
Speaker 13: point as well in that second set, and that starts

727
00:35:41,827 --> 00:35:45,427
Speaker 13: to play surely played for Yala. Both players had treatment

728
00:35:45,507 --> 00:35:47,467
Speaker 13: in that in that match as well. It looks like

729
00:35:47,547 --> 00:35:50,907
Speaker 13: one kind of came through better Yala. It appeared to

730
00:35:50,907 --> 00:35:52,427
Speaker 13: be some sort of stomach thing. It looks like she

731
00:35:52,467 --> 00:35:54,307
Speaker 13: had some strapping tape under there when she went up

732
00:35:54,307 --> 00:35:56,427
Speaker 13: into the changing room. And whether she could fully stretch

733
00:35:56,467 --> 00:36:00,387
Speaker 13: out in that final set, but one yes, had high

734
00:36:00,467 --> 00:36:03,227
Speaker 13: unforced era rate, but she had more winners. She can

735
00:36:03,267 --> 00:36:05,427
Speaker 13: go for it. She has got enough in her game

736
00:36:05,467 --> 00:36:08,187
Speaker 13: that can be it can be big. So I think

737
00:36:08,227 --> 00:36:10,147
Speaker 13: that was it in the end, big point moments and

738
00:36:10,307 --> 00:36:13,707
Speaker 13: just that slightly bigger game. Yala, much like Yovic, twenty

739
00:36:13,747 --> 00:36:15,707
Speaker 13: years of age, is going to have, has got a

740
00:36:15,827 --> 00:36:18,947
Speaker 13: huge career ahead of her as well. If she's getting

741
00:36:18,987 --> 00:36:21,027
Speaker 13: into the back ends of tournaments like this, and I

742
00:36:21,067 --> 00:36:24,467
Speaker 13: think any tournament director around the world is hoping to

743
00:36:24,467 --> 00:36:27,347
Speaker 13: have her name. Couldn't excuse me on the entry list

744
00:36:27,347 --> 00:36:29,667
Speaker 13: because we see what she's bought this week with those

745
00:36:29,707 --> 00:36:31,027
Speaker 13: wonderful fans that you mentioned.

746
00:36:31,667 --> 00:36:35,867
Speaker 2: So could woe should you then beats Fittealina in the final?

747
00:36:36,107 --> 00:36:38,707
Speaker 2: You know Sittealina will be favorite number one seed obviously

748
00:36:38,747 --> 00:36:41,627
Speaker 2: ranked a lot higher. Could one should you cause an

749
00:36:41,667 --> 00:36:42,787
Speaker 2: upset in the final tonight?

750
00:36:43,507 --> 00:36:43,667
Speaker 6: Yeah?

751
00:36:43,707 --> 00:36:44,347
Speaker 4: Look, she could.

752
00:36:44,627 --> 00:36:46,667
Speaker 13: We've seen it all week what she's got in her

753
00:36:46,707 --> 00:36:50,267
Speaker 13: game and that that bigger game. But I think Stealina

754
00:36:50,547 --> 00:36:53,307
Speaker 13: knows how to handle those those players with a big

755
00:36:53,307 --> 00:36:56,307
Speaker 13: serve with a big fourhand. Certelena is renowned for her

756
00:36:56,347 --> 00:36:59,947
Speaker 13: all roundability. Her now son caught her ability to defend.

757
00:37:00,227 --> 00:37:03,427
Speaker 13: We saw that a lot against Cartel in the quarter final,

758
00:37:03,507 --> 00:37:05,667
Speaker 13: as well her ability to find a way to get

759
00:37:05,667 --> 00:37:08,587
Speaker 13: back into a point and then mix things up. She's

760
00:37:08,747 --> 00:37:11,027
Speaker 13: one of those players I really enjoy watching because she's

761
00:37:11,027 --> 00:37:13,907
Speaker 13: not just crashing bash. She's got so much variety and

762
00:37:14,067 --> 00:37:16,467
Speaker 13: court craft to her game. I think the other big

763
00:37:16,507 --> 00:37:19,187
Speaker 13: factor is that you're that you mentioned. Mine is the

764
00:37:19,267 --> 00:37:24,907
Speaker 13: experience factor and Swizzerlina's record in finals is absolutely incredible.

765
00:37:24,947 --> 00:37:28,067
Speaker 13: She's been in twenty two career finals and she's won

766
00:37:28,187 --> 00:37:30,507
Speaker 13: eighteen of them, so it's something like eighty two percent

767
00:37:30,867 --> 00:37:34,347
Speaker 13: win record in finals, which it shows that she's clutched,

768
00:37:34,347 --> 00:37:36,507
Speaker 13: she comes up in big moments, and that's what she's

769
00:37:36,547 --> 00:37:38,987
Speaker 13: done in this tournament so far. So I think she's

770
00:37:39,027 --> 00:37:42,267
Speaker 13: she's significantly the favorite for sure, but Wong has god

771
00:37:42,347 --> 00:37:44,627
Speaker 13: enough if she can keep the nerves of being in

772
00:37:44,707 --> 00:37:47,227
Speaker 13: just her second of a final at Bay and the

773
00:37:47,227 --> 00:37:50,787
Speaker 13: player that she's got across the net not playing the reputation,

774
00:37:50,907 --> 00:37:54,547
Speaker 13: and then she consletely challenged Fwizzerlina for short and how.

775
00:37:54,387 --> 00:37:57,027
Speaker 2: Have you evaluated the overall standard of tennis across the

776
00:37:57,147 --> 00:37:57,707
Speaker 2: entire week?

777
00:37:58,787 --> 00:38:01,067
Speaker 13: Yeah, I was just thinking before it feels like it's

778
00:38:01,107 --> 00:38:03,107
Speaker 13: been one of the best women's weeks we've had for

779
00:38:03,147 --> 00:38:05,107
Speaker 13: a week while, and I think that's probably to do

780
00:38:05,227 --> 00:38:08,147
Speaker 13: with the weather for a start, that makes such a

781
00:38:08,147 --> 00:38:10,947
Speaker 13: big difference to have had day after day of sunshine

782
00:38:10,987 --> 00:38:15,987
Speaker 13: for everything. Overall, it's probably been a field that has

783
00:38:16,147 --> 00:38:20,547
Speaker 13: lacked a massive star name if we take obviously Venus

784
00:38:20,547 --> 00:38:24,627
Speaker 13: Williams out of that equation. You know, Siddelina is a huge,

785
00:38:25,107 --> 00:38:27,547
Speaker 13: huge star of the sport, but is in a Cocoa

786
00:38:27,627 --> 00:38:31,707
Speaker 13: Golf or inn Osaka or aon Tech in terms of

787
00:38:31,707 --> 00:38:34,667
Speaker 13: that sort of real star quality name. It's been a

788
00:38:34,707 --> 00:38:37,387
Speaker 13: really solid deep field in the ace of class. It

789
00:38:37,427 --> 00:38:40,067
Speaker 13: has always been very good at spotting talent and that's

790
00:38:40,067 --> 00:38:43,067
Speaker 13: what we saw with Yovi Genniyala and hopefully that means

791
00:38:43,107 --> 00:38:45,227
Speaker 13: depending on how they rise it they'll come back again

792
00:38:45,307 --> 00:38:48,067
Speaker 13: because they young players are heading to the top. It's

793
00:38:48,067 --> 00:38:50,427
Speaker 13: always you know, first week of the year for these players,

794
00:38:50,507 --> 00:38:51,867
Speaker 13: a lot of them coming off you know, those big

795
00:38:51,867 --> 00:38:54,387
Speaker 13: off season breaks and or for some are really short

796
00:38:54,387 --> 00:38:56,827
Speaker 13: break so depending on just where they're at. But look,

797
00:38:56,867 --> 00:38:59,307
Speaker 13: I think overall it's been a really good week, and

798
00:38:59,627 --> 00:39:03,187
Speaker 13: not least from the fan perspective. The weather again is

799
00:39:03,227 --> 00:39:06,587
Speaker 13: a massive help, but probably we're a week later we

800
00:39:06,587 --> 00:39:08,627
Speaker 13: were last year, so more people back in the city,

801
00:39:08,787 --> 00:39:11,747
Speaker 13: more people coming along. The Filipino fans have been exceptional

802
00:39:11,907 --> 00:39:14,507
Speaker 13: and the Chinese fans have been awesome to supporting ones you.

803
00:39:14,947 --> 00:39:16,787
Speaker 13: So it's been overall a really.

804
00:39:16,627 --> 00:39:19,787
Speaker 2: Good week, brilliant stuff. Looking forward to the final this afternoon,

805
00:39:19,827 --> 00:39:22,427
Speaker 2: then the men's week ahead. Thanks as always for your time, Ricky,

806
00:39:22,467 --> 00:39:23,227
Speaker 2: really appreciate it.

807
00:39:23,667 --> 00:39:24,427
Speaker 13: We always a pleasure.

808
00:39:24,467 --> 00:39:28,707
Speaker 2: Piney, thanks mate, Ricky. This one out calling both semi

809
00:39:28,787 --> 00:39:31,227
Speaker 2: finals last night, presumably the final tonight as well. So

810
00:39:31,267 --> 00:39:34,867
Speaker 2: I said five o'clock center Court this afternoon, the women's

811
00:39:34,947 --> 00:39:39,387
Speaker 2: doubles finals first, that scheduled at three the women's singles

812
00:39:39,427 --> 00:39:42,587
Speaker 2: finals for Delena against one. Should you not be four

813
00:39:42,667 --> 00:39:46,067
Speaker 2: or five? So I guess if the doubles goes longer,

814
00:39:46,187 --> 00:39:48,627
Speaker 2: then it'll be pushed back. If it's a short game,

815
00:39:48,667 --> 00:39:53,187
Speaker 2: then at five o'clock they'll get on to court. Looking

816
00:39:53,227 --> 00:39:56,027
Speaker 2: forward to the final of the women's and then on

817
00:39:56,067 --> 00:39:59,027
Speaker 2: to the men's next week. Seven Away from One News

818

Speaker 2: Four to one gen on Tech, says Pinty. The game

823
00:40:12,107 --> 00:40:14,747
Speaker 2: stats tell the story of mackles Field Palace one Niel

824
00:40:14,787 --> 00:40:17,347
Speaker 2: to mackles Field at halftime. Palace made three subs at

825
00:40:17,387 --> 00:40:20,387
Speaker 2: half time to try and change the landscape. Mackles Field

826
00:40:20,387 --> 00:40:22,787
Speaker 2: added a second in the sixtieth minute. Palace then made

827
00:40:22,827 --> 00:40:26,707
Speaker 2: another change and got a consolation goal right on ninety minutes.

828
00:40:26,707 --> 00:40:30,307
Speaker 2: But too little, too late, as you say, as football fans,

829
00:40:30,347 --> 00:40:33,587
Speaker 2: we all love a fairy story, we do, indeed, and

830
00:40:33,667 --> 00:40:37,667
Speaker 2: you absolutely can't say that mackles Field did not deserve it.

837
00:40:56,227 --> 00:40:59,187
Speaker 2: whatever it is. And often you get to kind of

838
00:40:59,987 --> 00:41:02,987
Speaker 2: this time and you've completely fallen off the wagon. You

839
00:41:02,987 --> 00:41:04,787
Speaker 2: haven't been able to do it. So how do you

840
00:41:04,827 --> 00:41:08,507

00:43:20,387 --> 00:43:23,707
Speaker 16: Yeah, thanks, Minnie, much appreciated. And look, you know, I'm

875
00:43:23,747 --> 00:43:27,987
Speaker 16: a rugby traejeic. I absolutely love rugby. I've said at

876
00:43:27,987 --> 00:43:31,867
Speaker 16: home every weekend watching every game, you know. So for

877
00:43:31,907 --> 00:43:33,507
Speaker 16: a chance to come in and play a more role

878
00:43:33,507 --> 00:43:37,387
Speaker 16: in that organization and play a role in the sport

879
00:43:37,427 --> 00:43:40,947
Speaker 16: that you love was a great privilege. And I look

880
00:43:40,987 --> 00:43:43,747
Speaker 16: at this and there's so much opportunity around rugby and

881
00:43:43,827 --> 00:43:44,947
Speaker 16: I couldn't wait to get second.

882
00:43:45,227 --> 00:43:47,947
Speaker 2: So you were appointed in mid October. I believe the

883
00:43:47,987 --> 00:43:51,787
Speaker 2: week we've just had was your first week. So where

884
00:43:52,107 --> 00:43:55,027
Speaker 2: do you place your focus as you get your feet

885
00:43:55,107 --> 00:43:55,667
Speaker 2: under the desk?

886
00:43:56,507 --> 00:43:58,827
Speaker 16: Yeah, three days in so so lots of experience to

887
00:43:58,947 --> 00:44:01,947
Speaker 16: be talking about party. But you know, look, I guess

888
00:44:01,947 --> 00:44:04,427
Speaker 16: we're five weeks away from our first game against the Chiefs,

889
00:44:04,707 --> 00:44:06,987
Speaker 16: as you mentioned earlier, and you know, for me, it's

890
00:44:07,027 --> 00:44:10,667
Speaker 16: about stabilizing the organization heading into that game that we've

891
00:44:10,667 --> 00:44:13,307
Speaker 16: got an environment that everyone's ready to perform, both on

892
00:44:13,347 --> 00:44:17,547
Speaker 16: and off the field. So that's my major focus. There

893
00:44:17,587 --> 00:44:19,427
Speaker 16: will be other stuff that comes, but right now it's

894
00:44:19,467 --> 00:44:22,907
Speaker 16: making sure the organization is in a position to perform

895
00:44:23,107 --> 00:44:23,987
Speaker 16: in five weeks time.

896
00:44:24,147 --> 00:44:26,827
Speaker 2: You've come into new roles in the past, existing roles,

897
00:44:27,027 --> 00:44:29,827
Speaker 2: What is the key to coming into a role where

898
00:44:30,107 --> 00:44:34,067
Speaker 2: you know, presumably the organization is functioning pretty well. How

899
00:44:34,147 --> 00:44:37,427
Speaker 2: much do you look to just continue doing how much

900
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,787
Speaker 2: do you look to change? How does that thought process work?

901
00:44:40,507 --> 00:44:42,547
Speaker 16: Yeah, look on someone that's always had a pretty big

902
00:44:42,587 --> 00:44:45,947
Speaker 16: ambition and drive for the roles that I've had, and

903
00:44:46,347 --> 00:44:48,507
Speaker 16: I look at the Blues. We're in a great position.

904
00:44:49,267 --> 00:44:52,427
Speaker 16: I think that the club's in a really stable position. Commercially,

905
00:44:52,467 --> 00:44:55,507
Speaker 16: it's the team's done an unbelievable job. We've got a

906
00:44:55,547 --> 00:44:58,907
Speaker 16: wonderful sponsor family that's helped us get to this position,

907
00:44:59,587 --> 00:45:01,147
Speaker 16: and so I feel like off the field that the

908
00:45:01,427 --> 00:45:04,187
Speaker 16: club's in a great space. We've got a really strong board,

909
00:45:04,627 --> 00:45:08,587
Speaker 16: which I think is really important. Sporting environment and then

910
00:45:08,947 --> 00:45:12,347
Speaker 16: on the field, we've got that real mix of depth

911
00:45:12,667 --> 00:45:16,227
Speaker 16: of some long term campaigners. I was talking to offer

912
00:45:16,227 --> 00:45:18,547
Speaker 16: toing the Farsit earlier in the week, who's been around

913
00:45:18,547 --> 00:45:20,747
Speaker 16: this club since years eighteen and so yeah, you've got

914
00:45:20,747 --> 00:45:23,427
Speaker 16: all of that experience to bring in with a group

915
00:45:23,467 --> 00:45:25,787
Speaker 16: of young players coming through as well. And so look,

916
00:45:26,267 --> 00:45:29,707
Speaker 16: I think the club's well placed. My job, as I say,

917
00:45:29,707 --> 00:45:32,387
Speaker 16: to make sure the environment's right, that everyone can perform

918
00:45:32,427 --> 00:45:34,867
Speaker 16: on and off the field at their best, and then

919
00:45:34,907 --> 00:45:37,587
Speaker 16: really go about trying to see through the ambition that

920
00:45:37,627 --> 00:45:38,747
Speaker 16: we've got for this great club.

921
00:45:39,267 --> 00:45:42,627
Speaker 2: You mentioned the family of sponsors. What do you think

922
00:45:42,707 --> 00:45:47,307
Speaker 2: commercial partners want from their relationships with the Blues but

923
00:45:47,427 --> 00:45:49,667
Speaker 2: with sporting organizations in general.

924
00:45:49,707 --> 00:45:53,107
Speaker 16: From your experience, look, I guess it's about connecting with

925
00:45:53,587 --> 00:45:56,107
Speaker 16: fans through something they care about. I think the privilege

926
00:45:56,107 --> 00:45:59,747
Speaker 16: of sponsorship is you get a two way conversation. You

927
00:45:59,787 --> 00:46:03,267
Speaker 16: get a chance to share a passion and integrate your

928
00:46:03,267 --> 00:46:07,227
Speaker 16: brand into that passion, which is a wonderful experience. What

929
00:46:07,307 --> 00:46:09,467
Speaker 16: is the one thousand marketing messages we meant to get

930
00:46:09,507 --> 00:46:12,667
Speaker 16: each day, and most of them are brands talking at you.

931
00:46:12,867 --> 00:46:15,707
Speaker 16: Sponsorship I think gives you that opportunity to talk with you,

932
00:46:16,667 --> 00:46:19,507
Speaker 16: and so I think it's a great position from a

933
00:46:19,507 --> 00:46:22,547
Speaker 16: Blues perspective. You know, we've got a huge community where

934
00:46:22,547 --> 00:46:26,827
Speaker 16: obviously the biggest sporting code and the biggest city. We've

935
00:46:26,867 --> 00:46:30,707
Speaker 16: got a wonderfully loyal fan base and a history of

936
00:46:31,067 --> 00:46:34,707
Speaker 16: successes and organizations. So I think leveraging those values. But

937
00:46:34,707 --> 00:46:36,547
Speaker 16: there's lots of stuff behind it too. I look at

938
00:46:36,587 --> 00:46:39,667
Speaker 16: the work that I'm still learning about this Piney after

939
00:46:39,707 --> 00:46:41,547
Speaker 16: all of three days. But the work that we do

940
00:46:41,667 --> 00:46:45,267
Speaker 16: with the Blues Charitable Trust. We've got hundreds of kids

941
00:46:45,307 --> 00:46:48,867
Speaker 16: coming in doing a leadership program every year here. That's

942
00:46:48,867 --> 00:46:51,147
Speaker 16: just something that we run always on that's maybe not

943
00:46:51,227 --> 00:46:56,547
Speaker 16: that well known about. We generated fifty six thousand presents

944
00:46:56,547 --> 00:46:59,187
Speaker 16: for kids over Christmas with the Blues Filled the Bus

945
00:46:59,187 --> 00:47:01,427
Speaker 16: campaign and going out to our community and making sure

946
00:47:01,467 --> 00:47:04,947
Speaker 16: that we've got an interest and the prosperity right across

947
00:47:04,947 --> 00:47:08,267
Speaker 16: our three regions. It's all of those dynamics, and yeah,

948
00:47:08,267 --> 00:47:10,747
Speaker 16: I think we're pretty well placed to continue to thrive

949
00:47:10,827 --> 00:47:11,347
Speaker 16: in that space.

950
00:47:11,467 --> 00:47:14,507
Speaker 2: Yeah, very cool. Sport is volatile, as we know, sometimes

951
00:47:14,507 --> 00:47:16,787
Speaker 2: you win, sometimes you don't win. How do you make

952
00:47:16,867 --> 00:47:22,627
Speaker 2: sure that your commercial partnerships aren't absolutely reliant on the

953
00:47:22,667 --> 00:47:23,587
Speaker 2: results of the team.

954
00:47:24,587 --> 00:47:26,707
Speaker 16: Well, I think that's where the depth of your brand

955
00:47:27,467 --> 00:47:30,027
Speaker 16: rarely becomes important and all of those things like I

956
00:47:30,107 --> 00:47:32,347
Speaker 16: just talked about the stuff off the field becomes vital.

957
00:47:32,427 --> 00:47:36,707
Speaker 16: It's our partners are partnering us because they see as

958
00:47:36,707 --> 00:47:40,627
Speaker 16: shared values there that our values reflected and theirs and

959
00:47:40,707 --> 00:47:43,067
Speaker 16: vice versa. And I think that's really critical. But it's

960
00:47:43,107 --> 00:47:46,307
Speaker 16: also how we engage, how we own those moments of challenge.

961
00:47:46,427 --> 00:47:49,507
Speaker 16: We all need to be resilient when times get tough,

962
00:47:49,547 --> 00:47:52,107
Speaker 16: and business is no different, and so how we own

963
00:47:52,187 --> 00:47:56,227
Speaker 16: those moments I think are equally as important, and we've

964
00:47:56,227 --> 00:47:59,907
Speaker 16: got to be pragmatic no matter what dynasty you're part of,

965
00:48:00,067 --> 00:48:03,747
Speaker 16: those dynasties come through challenging moments and how you respond,

966
00:48:03,787 --> 00:48:06,347
Speaker 16: I think is what builds the character, and I think

967
00:48:06,427 --> 00:48:08,427
Speaker 16: people like seeing that character and brands.

968
00:48:08,747 --> 00:48:11,227
Speaker 2: How closely Budgy do you expect to work with the

969
00:48:11,267 --> 00:48:15,147
Speaker 2: other CEOs, particularly the New Zealand based ones and Jack Mesley,

970
00:48:15,547 --> 00:48:17,507
Speaker 2: the CEO of Super Rugby Pacific.

971
00:48:18,227 --> 00:48:20,027
Speaker 16: Yeah, look, I must say point, and that's one that

972
00:48:20,067 --> 00:48:22,867
Speaker 16: I've been incredibly impressed by before coming into the role.

973
00:48:22,987 --> 00:48:26,867
Speaker 16: Just the engagement before I started, and then in the

974
00:48:26,867 --> 00:48:29,627
Speaker 16: first three days we've already had a good ninety minute

975
00:48:29,667 --> 00:48:32,747
Speaker 16: session with each of the CEOs of the other clubs.

976
00:48:32,747 --> 00:48:36,227
Speaker 16: So I'm really thead there's a strong friend of these

977
00:48:36,227 --> 00:48:40,627
Speaker 16: group there. There's a Colin Mainsbridge put it pretty well.

978
00:48:40,667 --> 00:48:42,467
Speaker 16: There's eighty percent that we get on like a house

979
00:48:42,467 --> 00:48:45,587
Speaker 16: on fire and want to collaborate and work together on.

980
00:48:45,947 --> 00:48:47,707
Speaker 16: Then there's twenty percent that we want to flog each

981
00:48:47,747 --> 00:48:51,467
Speaker 16: other and I quite like that dynamic. It's yeah, it's

982
00:48:51,507 --> 00:48:54,267
Speaker 16: been great. There's been an offer extended from each of them.

983
00:48:54,307 --> 00:48:56,187
Speaker 16: Are in any areas that you need to come up

984
00:48:56,187 --> 00:48:58,267
Speaker 16: to speed on Quaker and how they can help. But

985
00:48:58,347 --> 00:49:00,547
Speaker 16: I think us working as a group as where the

986
00:49:00,587 --> 00:49:04,547
Speaker 16: success for super rugby in this country will continue to thrive.

987
00:49:04,587 --> 00:49:09,467
Speaker 16: And been really spirited by the relationship and the desire

988
00:49:09,507 --> 00:49:11,227
Speaker 16: to collaborate between the clubs.

989
00:49:11,307 --> 00:49:15,667
Speaker 2: So high performance commercial About What about the fans? How

990
00:49:15,747 --> 00:49:19,027
Speaker 2: big a part of your role is overseeing and ensuring

991
00:49:19,147 --> 00:49:20,867
Speaker 2: good fan engagement?

992
00:49:21,587 --> 00:49:23,187
Speaker 16: YEA, Look, I think it's all of us. I think

993
00:49:23,227 --> 00:49:27,307
Speaker 16: it's everyone within the rag By ecosystem. Fans are our

994
00:49:27,347 --> 00:49:29,747
Speaker 16: engine and we've got to make sure that they are

995
00:49:29,787 --> 00:49:32,667
Speaker 16: at the center of everything we do. So look, it's

996
00:49:32,707 --> 00:49:36,867
Speaker 16: a critical part. I've been really enthused to hear from

997
00:49:36,907 --> 00:49:41,187
Speaker 16: the team know their own desires and wishes, what they

998
00:49:41,227 --> 00:49:43,307
Speaker 16: want to do around fans. You know, that's coming from

999
00:49:43,307 --> 00:49:46,107
Speaker 16: the playing group, the coaching group, and the front office staff.

1000
00:49:46,107 --> 00:49:49,307
Speaker 16: And so it's great to see your Horrors obviously did

1001
00:49:49,347 --> 00:49:53,187
Speaker 16: a wonderful job instilling just how important fans are in

1002
00:49:53,187 --> 00:49:55,867
Speaker 16: our business, and it's something that again we want to

1003
00:49:55,987 --> 00:49:58,587
Speaker 16: ensure we keep driving. And it wasn't that long ago

1004
00:49:58,667 --> 00:50:01,667
Speaker 16: that Eden Park was sold out for watching Blues games,

1005
00:50:01,707 --> 00:50:03,867
Speaker 16: and I don't see any reason why we can't get back.

1006
00:50:03,747 --> 00:50:06,187
Speaker 2: There, are you, I mean your three days into the

1007
00:50:06,187 --> 00:50:08,067
Speaker 2: g Oh, this is probably a question you can't really answer,

1008
00:50:08,107 --> 00:50:10,427
Speaker 2: but do you think the Blues will ever move from

1009
00:50:10,547 --> 00:50:12,547
Speaker 2: Eden Park or are you pretty happy with that with

1010
00:50:12,627 --> 00:50:13,747
Speaker 2: that as your home venue.

1011
00:50:14,787 --> 00:50:17,147
Speaker 16: I haven't remotely looked into that at the moment. Now,

1012
00:50:17,267 --> 00:50:19,147
Speaker 16: you know, I know we're playing our games there, so

1013
00:50:19,187 --> 00:50:21,427
Speaker 16: it's all all my focuses at the moment are going,

1014
00:50:21,467 --> 00:50:24,067
Speaker 16: how do we work with Eden Park? They're great partners

1015
00:50:24,107 --> 00:50:27,427
Speaker 16: of ours. We've got a great relationship with Natkinner's team,

1016
00:50:27,547 --> 00:50:30,187
Speaker 16: and you know, I know they share our vision. I've

1017
00:50:30,187 --> 00:50:32,147
Speaker 16: wanted to see the place full and so you know,

1018
00:50:32,507 --> 00:50:34,587
Speaker 16: we'll do everything you can to make sure we achieve that.

1019
00:50:34,667 --> 00:50:36,547
Speaker 2: Do you reckon you can still be a Blues fan?

1020
00:50:36,587 --> 00:50:36,787
Speaker 17: I know.

1021
00:50:36,827 --> 00:50:39,547
Speaker 2: I mean you're a Counties boy. You know you've been,

1022
00:50:39,587 --> 00:50:41,547
Speaker 2: as you say, a rugby fan, a fan of this team.

1023
00:50:41,747 --> 00:50:44,227
Speaker 2: You know from the start. Do you reckon as it's CEO,

1024
00:50:44,387 --> 00:50:46,387
Speaker 2: you can still be a rugby fan, a fan of

1025
00:50:46,427 --> 00:50:46,867
Speaker 2: the Blues.

1026
00:50:47,787 --> 00:50:50,947
Speaker 16: Yeah, I absolutely can, and we'll make sure I do.

1027
00:50:51,067 --> 00:50:53,587
Speaker 16: I think that's there. We are all fans in our

1028
00:50:53,627 --> 00:50:56,427
Speaker 16: own right and that's important as well. If we didn't

1029
00:50:56,427 --> 00:50:59,107
Speaker 16: feel like there was something more riding on it and

1030
00:50:59,147 --> 00:51:00,787
Speaker 16: it was just eighty minutes of work, you know, we're

1031
00:51:00,787 --> 00:51:04,667
Speaker 16: probably in the wrong job. So yeah, I think that

1032
00:51:04,827 --> 00:51:06,387
Speaker 16: fandom for me is what's pushed me.

1033
00:51:06,427 --> 00:51:06,987
Speaker 5: To go further.

1034
00:51:07,107 --> 00:51:10,147
Speaker 16: You know, that's what pushes you to spend that extra

1035
00:51:10,187 --> 00:51:12,267
Speaker 16: ten minutes or that extra hour, whatever it might be,

1036
00:51:12,387 --> 00:51:15,227
Speaker 16: to think further and what else are they doing? How

1037
00:51:15,227 --> 00:51:17,027
Speaker 16: do I use that fandom to make sure I'm spending

1038
00:51:17,027 --> 00:51:18,987
Speaker 16: ten minutes longer than what colin Age Bread is doing

1039
00:51:19,267 --> 00:51:23,747
Speaker 16: and christ Shirts go. It's a great part of our job. Piney.

1040
00:51:24,347 --> 00:51:25,107
Speaker 6: We're privileged.

1041
00:51:25,147 --> 00:51:29,867
Speaker 16: We get to come and work in an environment that

1042
00:51:29,947 --> 00:51:32,827
Speaker 16: for most people it's their hobby. So yeah, if I

1043
00:51:32,867 --> 00:51:35,707
Speaker 16: ever ever lose that fandom, I probably it's time for

1044
00:51:35,707 --> 00:51:36,547
Speaker 16: a career change.

1045
00:51:36,827 --> 00:51:39,067
Speaker 2: Speaking of your career, it's been you know, you've done

1046
00:51:39,147 --> 00:51:42,107
Speaker 2: some amazing things. Nine years as tournament director of course

1047
00:51:42,147 --> 00:51:44,387
Speaker 2: of the ASB Classic and what you did with that

1048
00:51:44,467 --> 00:51:47,267
Speaker 2: tournament to make it New Zealand's premier summer event was

1049
00:51:47,507 --> 00:51:50,787
Speaker 2: you know, it's the legacy is absolutely secure. Do you

1050
00:51:50,867 --> 00:51:52,987
Speaker 2: still do you still take an interest in the tennis?

1051
00:51:53,827 --> 00:51:54,027
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1052
00:51:54,027 --> 00:51:56,467
Speaker 16: I do. I share plenty of messages with Nico.

1053
00:51:57,027 --> 00:51:57,867
Speaker 5: We're great mates.

1054
00:51:59,067 --> 00:52:01,867
Speaker 16: Before he became tournament director, we spent a lot of

1055
00:52:01,907 --> 00:52:05,347
Speaker 16: time over overseas together and so yeah, look always really

1056
00:52:05,387 --> 00:52:07,947
Speaker 16: proud to see what Neto is doing with the tournament.

1057
00:52:08,707 --> 00:52:11,267
Speaker 16: We're actually hitting along whatever the team and I are

1058
00:52:11,307 --> 00:52:13,107
Speaker 16: going along tomorrow and have a look at what their

1059
00:52:13,107 --> 00:52:16,267
Speaker 16: sponsors are doing and how they are engaging with fans

1060
00:52:16,347 --> 00:52:18,707
Speaker 16: and seeing what we can learn from them because they

1061
00:52:18,707 --> 00:52:21,107
Speaker 16: are doing a great job. It's awesome to see and

1062
00:52:21,667 --> 00:52:23,827
Speaker 16: I look at all of those events as going this

1063
00:52:23,987 --> 00:52:26,987
Speaker 16: is great for Auckland and I want to see the

1064
00:52:27,227 --> 00:52:29,067
Speaker 16: ASPI Classics sold out, but I also want to see

1065
00:52:29,067 --> 00:52:31,227
Speaker 16: Aukland have se sold out and the Warriors sold out.

1066
00:52:31,627 --> 00:52:34,107
Speaker 16: I think that's good for us also. We want a

1067
00:52:34,107 --> 00:52:37,387
Speaker 16: culture of people getting out and attending live experiences and

1068
00:52:37,427 --> 00:52:40,387
Speaker 16: if we do that will as an organization the Blues

1069
00:52:40,387 --> 00:52:41,587
Speaker 16: will be well placed to benefit.

1070
00:52:41,947 --> 00:52:44,827
Speaker 2: And talked about relationships before with the other super rugby clubs,

1071
00:52:44,827 --> 00:52:47,187
Speaker 2: with Super Rugby Pacific and Jack Mesley, what about the

1072
00:52:47,227 --> 00:52:51,387
Speaker 2: relationship with New Zealand Rugby. That's obviously key as well,

1073
00:52:51,427 --> 00:52:53,507
Speaker 2: But what do you see as as the main planks

1074
00:52:53,507 --> 00:52:55,507
Speaker 2: of a good relationship with New Zealand rugby.

1075
00:52:56,307 --> 00:52:58,707
Speaker 16: Yeah, look, it's something that thankfully I've got a bit

1076
00:52:58,707 --> 00:53:01,827
Speaker 16: of experience and you mentioned the government's roles in the intro,

1077
00:53:01,987 --> 00:53:04,267
Speaker 16: and I've spent a fair bit of time around those

1078
00:53:04,267 --> 00:53:07,147
Speaker 16: halls over the last decade or so. There's some great

1079
00:53:07,147 --> 00:53:10,147
Speaker 16: relationships in there already. But I think we all share

1080
00:53:10,187 --> 00:53:13,587
Speaker 16: the same goal. Yeah, Super Rugby as critical in every

1081
00:53:13,627 --> 00:53:17,267
Speaker 16: sense to the rugby ecosystem in New Zealand. It provides

1082
00:53:17,267 --> 00:53:20,827
Speaker 16: that engagement with the fans, you know, where that opportunity

1083
00:53:20,867 --> 00:53:22,947
Speaker 16: for half the year that people get to engage rugby

1084
00:53:22,947 --> 00:53:25,307
Speaker 16: and you know, that's a critical role. It plays a

1085
00:53:25,307 --> 00:53:27,907
Speaker 16: critical role in developing our all blacks. It's where all

1086
00:53:27,907 --> 00:53:30,827
Speaker 16: blacks spend their time. And so I think right throughout

1087
00:53:30,827 --> 00:53:33,387
Speaker 16: where you know, I get always quite encouraged plinty by

1088
00:53:33,387 --> 00:53:36,667
Speaker 16: the word commonalities, and you know, I look across each

1089
00:53:36,667 --> 00:53:39,587
Speaker 16: of our franchises and our relational ends that are and yeah,

1090
00:53:39,747 --> 00:53:42,787
Speaker 16: everything we're after as a common goal. And so it's

1091
00:53:42,827 --> 00:53:44,787
Speaker 16: a great benchmark to drive things forward.

1092
00:53:44,987 --> 00:53:46,467
Speaker 2: Well, I think we all agree the Blues are in

1093
00:53:46,587 --> 00:53:49,507
Speaker 2: very good hands budget. Congratulations on the appointment. All the

1094
00:53:49,507 --> 00:53:51,787
Speaker 2: best the Hurricanes fan and me wishes you all the

1095
00:53:51,827 --> 00:53:53,067
Speaker 2: best except when you play us.

1096
00:53:53,987 --> 00:53:56,707
Speaker 16: It's been nice to hear that on a few notes.

1097
00:53:56,907 --> 00:53:58,787
Speaker 16: There's been a few people that have shared that sentiment.

1098
00:53:58,907 --> 00:54:01,387
Speaker 16: So must mean there's plenty of enthusiasm for super rugby

1099
00:54:01,387 --> 00:54:02,307
Speaker 16: out there, which is amazing.

1100
00:54:02,307 --> 00:54:04,067
Speaker 2: Absolutely, there is good on you mate. Thanks and Dave

1101
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:07,347
Speaker 2: cal Budge, CEO of the Blue Blues, started the role

1102
00:54:07,427 --> 00:54:12,747
Speaker 2: last three days. As you heard, look, huge credibility, massive

1103
00:54:12,787 --> 00:54:17,827
Speaker 2: respect in sporting circles as an administrator. Andrew Hoar died

1104
00:54:17,827 --> 00:54:20,027
Speaker 2: a great job there as well, didn't he. Carl Budge

1105
00:54:20,067 --> 00:54:23,147
Speaker 2: will pick up the torch into twenty twenty six with

1106
00:54:23,227 --> 00:54:25,267
Speaker 2: the Blue seems odd to be talking about Super Rugby,

1107
00:54:25,267 --> 00:54:27,667
Speaker 2: but does it really? I mean, we now know how

1108
00:54:27,707 --> 00:54:31,267
Speaker 2: early in the year Super Rugby starts. We're thirty three

1109
00:54:31,387 --> 00:54:35,587
Speaker 2: days away from the first games. Highlanders Crusaders will open

1110
00:54:35,627 --> 00:54:38,787
Speaker 2: Super Rugby Pacific in Dunedin on the night of Friday

1111
00:54:38,787 --> 00:54:43,107
Speaker 2: February thirteen, followed by the Warratars against the Reds Across

1112
00:54:43,147 --> 00:54:46,147
Speaker 2: in Sydney the following day a triple ahead of Fiji

1113
00:54:46,187 --> 00:54:50,547
Speaker 2: and drewa Mawana pacifica in Laotoka. That'll be followed by

1114
00:54:50,587 --> 00:54:53,307
Speaker 2: the Blues against the Chiefs at Eden Park and the

1115
00:54:53,347 --> 00:54:57,547
Speaker 2: final game of the first weekend Force v Brumbies Across

1116
00:54:57,627 --> 00:55:00,227
Speaker 2: in Perth. Of course, it's an eleven team competition again,

1117
00:55:00,747 --> 00:55:03,627
Speaker 2: so the Hurricanes have the bye in the first week.

1118
00:55:04,147 --> 00:55:07,507
Speaker 2: Updating you on the live sport that is happening around

1119
00:55:07,507 --> 00:55:09,867
Speaker 2: the place at the Basin Reserve. The Blaze into the

1120
00:55:09,907 --> 00:55:13,547
Speaker 2: tenth over against Northern are fifty nine for three. Fifty

1121
00:55:13,627 --> 00:55:16,907
Speaker 2: nine for three in the tenth over. Very difficult conditions

1122
00:55:16,907 --> 00:55:19,387
Speaker 2: at the basin in terms of the wind. I wouldn't

1123
00:55:19,387 --> 00:55:21,547
Speaker 2: want to be bowling into it. It's a very very

1124
00:55:21,587 --> 00:55:24,547
Speaker 2: strong Norval East. So anybody bowling into that norm that

1125
00:55:24,547 --> 00:55:26,067
Speaker 2: are going to have their work cutout today, not just

1126
00:55:26,147 --> 00:55:28,467
Speaker 2: in this game, but in the men's game that follows,

1127
00:55:28,827 --> 00:55:32,907
Speaker 2: and a topsy turvy wild card game in the NFC.

1128
00:55:33,387 --> 00:55:37,307
Speaker 2: It's the Carolina Panthers against the La Rams. The Rams

1129
00:55:37,347 --> 00:55:40,147
Speaker 2: have gone back ahead twenty seven to twenty four eight

1130
00:55:40,187 --> 00:55:43,227
Speaker 2: minutes to go. In that game, the loser is eliminated.

1131
00:55:43,507 --> 00:55:45,507
Speaker 2: This game to be followed by the Packers against the

1132
00:55:45,547 --> 00:55:49,467
Speaker 2: Bears in Chicago. We'll take a break at one twenty

1133
00:55:49,467 --> 00:55:51,987
Speaker 2: three when we come back. Something else which has come

1134
00:55:52,027 --> 00:55:55,547
Speaker 2: around very quickly is the new Sale GP season. It

1135
00:55:55,587 --> 00:55:58,227
Speaker 2: seems as though wasn't that long ago that the season

1136
00:55:58,267 --> 00:56:01,747
Speaker 2: finale was taking place in Abu Dhabi. Next weekend, the

1137
00:56:01,747 --> 00:56:06,427
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six Sale GP season gets underweight off the

1138
00:56:06,427 --> 00:56:11,347
Speaker 2: host of Western Australia Freemantle. Gee. That's an iconic sailing location,

1139
00:56:11,507 --> 00:56:13,587
Speaker 2: isn't it. And we're back in Auckland of course on

1140

1168
00:57:28,027 --> 00:57:31,107
Speaker 2: return to Auckland on the weekend of February fourteen and fifteen.

1169
00:57:31,587 --> 00:57:35,227
Speaker 2: Increased capacity for spectators at the Auckland events in twenty

1170
00:57:35,267 --> 00:57:38,707
Speaker 2: twenty six and as mentioned, we'll be broadcasting live right

1171
00:57:38,747 --> 00:57:43,107
Speaker 2: across that weekend from our studio overlooking Waitamata Harbor. Let's

1172
00:57:43,147 --> 00:57:47,307
Speaker 2: bring in Black Foils co CEO and wing trimmer Blair

1173
00:57:47,387 --> 00:57:49,587
Speaker 2: Chuk Blair, thanks for joining us. Can we start with

1174
00:57:49,627 --> 00:57:52,347
Speaker 2: a quick look back for the third straight year. You

1175
00:57:52,467 --> 00:57:55,507
Speaker 2: made the three boat Grand Final last season without being

1176
00:57:55,507 --> 00:57:58,387
Speaker 2: able to win it. So what are your reflections on

1177
00:57:58,427 --> 00:58:02,067
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty five season finale in Abu Dhabi.

1178
00:58:02,947 --> 00:58:06,427
Speaker 5: Yeah, happy to year, Pony. Well, it still hurts a

1179
00:58:06,507 --> 00:58:10,107
Speaker 5: sure and yeah, like we say, three in a row

1180
00:58:10,227 --> 00:58:13,027
Speaker 5: making the final and you know, qualifying in a good

1181
00:58:13,067 --> 00:58:16,587
Speaker 5: spot too, sailing a good season and then coming short

1182
00:58:16,587 --> 00:58:20,307
Speaker 5: when it matters most so, yeah, it hurts. But at

1183
00:58:20,347 --> 00:58:21,627
Speaker 5: the same time you got to look back at the

1184
00:58:22,027 --> 00:58:24,987
Speaker 5: positives for the season. It was a new group. Leo's

1185
00:58:25,067 --> 00:58:28,067
Speaker 5: sloting really well. We grew and to get integrated well

1186
00:58:29,027 --> 00:58:31,987
Speaker 5: and built throughout the season, but just came up short,

1187
00:58:32,067 --> 00:58:35,867
Speaker 5: So look, we we won't based it all on one race,

1188
00:58:35,907 --> 00:58:39,507
Speaker 5: but we'll you know, come out firing this season, continue

1189
00:58:39,507 --> 00:58:43,787
Speaker 5: to grow and you know we've got nine or eleven

1190
00:58:43,787 --> 00:58:45,707
Speaker 5: months ahead of us before that final race, and it's

1191
00:58:45,707 --> 00:58:48,027
Speaker 5: about building throughout the season, as it always is in

1192
00:58:48,147 --> 00:58:48,627
Speaker 5: sal GP.

1193
00:58:48,947 --> 00:58:50,947
Speaker 2: It's quite a short off season, isn't it, Because we're

1194
00:58:50,947 --> 00:58:53,427
Speaker 2: back under way next weekend. So where have you placed

1195
00:58:53,467 --> 00:58:56,387
Speaker 2: your focus during the off season period.

1196
00:58:58,467 --> 00:59:01,627
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a really short turnaround, and with that first

1197
00:59:01,707 --> 00:59:05,387
Speaker 5: time sale, GPS slotted into a calendar year. We came

1198
00:59:05,427 --> 00:59:08,027
Speaker 5: close last year with the first race in November or

1199
00:59:08,027 --> 00:59:11,347
Speaker 5: December and then the remainder throughout twenty twenty five, but

1200
00:59:11,587 --> 00:59:13,907
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six will be the first season where we

1201
00:59:13,987 --> 00:59:18,107
Speaker 5: run January through November. So that's a nice change in itself,

1202
00:59:18,827 --> 00:59:21,787
Speaker 5: but also comes with some challenges. Right at the end

1203
00:59:21,787 --> 00:59:24,027
Speaker 5: of the season, you come up short, you're a bit

1204
00:59:24,067 --> 00:59:28,627
Speaker 5: dejected after that, and then we roll into the you know,

1205
00:59:28,667 --> 00:59:31,187
Speaker 5: hot fest of season two where you want your team

1206
00:59:31,267 --> 00:59:34,827
Speaker 5: to get away and spend time with friends and finos.

1207
00:59:34,867 --> 00:59:36,907
Speaker 5: So everyone's done that. But we've had some really good

1208
00:59:36,907 --> 00:59:39,267
Speaker 5: meetings as we've slotted back into things this week and

1209
00:59:40,707 --> 00:59:43,067
Speaker 5: you know, like you said earlier, it's not a it's

1210
00:59:43,067 --> 00:59:45,347
Speaker 5: not a reshape. We did a lot of things really

1211
00:59:45,387 --> 00:59:48,067
Speaker 5: well last year. We were second on the leaderboard heading

1212
00:59:48,107 --> 00:59:50,547
Speaker 5: into that final race and deserve to be there. So

1213
00:59:50,987 --> 00:59:53,507
Speaker 5: it's about it's about growing and just continue to do

1214
00:59:53,747 --> 00:59:56,627
Speaker 5: the little things well and building throughout the season.

1215
00:59:56,987 --> 00:59:59,147
Speaker 2: You've been on board these their fifties for a while now,

1216
00:59:59,187 --> 01:00:01,867
Speaker 2: but are you still finding new ways to sell them

1217
01:00:02,107 --> 01:00:03,147
Speaker 2: better and faster?

1218
01:00:03,707 --> 01:00:07,147
Speaker 5: Yeah, we certainly are. In twenty twenty five saw a

1219
01:00:07,187 --> 01:00:10,947
Speaker 5: whole heap of new equipment get introduced to the fifty,

1220
01:00:11,107 --> 01:00:14,627
Speaker 5: so namely the t foils, which we had one version

1221
01:00:14,667 --> 01:00:16,747
Speaker 5: of that come on board for Auckland with the high

1222
01:00:16,827 --> 01:00:19,747
Speaker 5: speed teefoils, and then as we head into the back

1223
01:00:19,787 --> 01:00:22,347
Speaker 5: half of the season we had the more light aer

1224
01:00:22,987 --> 01:00:27,107
Speaker 5: slower speed teethfoils get introduced, new rudders and rudder winglets,

1225
01:00:27,627 --> 01:00:29,987
Speaker 5: and then in WW we had a twenty seven and

1226
01:00:29,987 --> 01:00:33,587
Speaker 5: a half meta wing, so apart from the platform, that's

1227
01:00:33,827 --> 01:00:38,027
Speaker 5: pretty much you know, all components. So with that there

1228
01:00:38,107 --> 01:00:40,667
Speaker 5: is a pretty steep learning curve for all teams to

1229
01:00:40,707 --> 01:00:43,187
Speaker 5: try and figure out the right ways to set them

1230
01:00:43,267 --> 01:00:47,107
Speaker 5: up to control them accurately. And ultimately faster than your opposition.

1231
01:00:47,307 --> 01:00:50,147
Speaker 5: So we're still very much on that curve. I don't

1232
01:00:50,147 --> 01:00:53,427
Speaker 5: think we've got to the flatter part of that. And

1233
01:00:53,507 --> 01:00:59,267
Speaker 5: as we head into Fremantle Perth next weekend notorious for

1234
01:00:59,667 --> 01:01:02,507
Speaker 5: being pretty windy there with the Freemantle Doctor, so that's

1235
01:01:02,507 --> 01:01:04,907
Speaker 5: going to serve up some of its own challenges and

1236
01:01:04,987 --> 01:01:07,747
Speaker 5: it'll be the team that switches into those conditions that

1237
01:01:08,107 --> 01:01:09,187
Speaker 5: gets the top. I reckon.

1238
01:01:09,387 --> 01:01:11,907
Speaker 2: So the sole GP fleet has grown to thirteen teams

1239
01:01:11,907 --> 01:01:14,187
Speaker 2: player just for clarity, are all thirteen going to be

1240
01:01:14,227 --> 01:01:15,867
Speaker 2: on the water together in every.

1241
01:01:15,667 --> 01:01:19,347
Speaker 5: Race as I see here now, I actually can't tell you.

1242
01:01:19,467 --> 01:01:25,107
Speaker 5: Partly there's been discussions and it's certainly in the rules

1243
01:01:25,107 --> 01:01:27,507
Speaker 5: that it could be so likely at some stage through

1244
01:01:27,627 --> 01:01:30,427
Speaker 5: the season we'll race with thirteen, whether that's next weekend

1245
01:01:31,227 --> 01:01:34,187
Speaker 5: in Fremantle or not. I think the league is still

1246
01:01:34,347 --> 01:01:36,667
Speaker 5: figuring that out. So if that was the case, there

1247
01:01:36,747 --> 01:01:40,707
Speaker 5: is a possibility where it could be a split format

1248
01:01:40,787 --> 01:01:43,187
Speaker 5: and then the top team's gone to the final at

1249
01:01:43,227 --> 01:01:45,827
Speaker 5: the end, But I am not actually one hundred percent

1250
01:01:45,867 --> 01:01:47,787
Speaker 5: sure where they're going to land on that, and we're

1251
01:01:47,867 --> 01:01:50,027
Speaker 5: gearing up for both possibilities currently.

1252
01:01:50,347 --> 01:01:53,027
Speaker 2: If it is thirteen. That's a lot of boats on

1253
01:01:53,067 --> 01:01:55,547
Speaker 2: the race courses and it is how challenging would that be?

1254
01:01:56,467 --> 01:01:59,947
Speaker 5: Well, twelve's a lot too, and when it moved from

1255
01:02:00,147 --> 01:02:02,027
Speaker 5: when it moved from eight to ten, that was a lot.

1256
01:02:02,107 --> 01:02:04,507
Speaker 5: So you know, we've been there since eight. Then I

1257
01:02:04,507 --> 01:02:07,187
Speaker 5: think it jumped to ten into eleven to twelve. So

1258
01:02:09,827 --> 01:02:13,787
Speaker 5: as it gets windier, it's not so bad. It's in

1259
01:02:13,827 --> 01:02:17,467
Speaker 5: the light conditions where with that many boats on the

1260
01:02:17,507 --> 01:02:20,067
Speaker 5: start line, if you don't execute the start and you

1261
01:02:20,107 --> 01:02:22,707
Speaker 5: would have watched enough races to see it, no matter

1262
01:02:22,707 --> 01:02:24,787
Speaker 5: how good you are or well you sail the boat,

1263
01:02:24,907 --> 01:02:27,907
Speaker 5: it is really hard to get back through, and in

1264
01:02:27,907 --> 01:02:30,627
Speaker 5: my opinion doesn't make the racing that good because it

1265
01:02:30,787 --> 01:02:36,907
Speaker 5: emphasizes the start too much. So yeah, let's see where

1266
01:02:36,907 --> 01:02:39,867
Speaker 5: they land. There's you know, I think there's one. There's

1267
01:02:39,867 --> 01:02:44,147
Speaker 5: obviously some safety considerations. I don't think that's the big

1268
01:02:44,147 --> 01:02:46,267
Speaker 5: factor because like I said, it's twelve to thirteen boats.

1269
01:02:46,307 --> 01:02:50,227
Speaker 5: Isn't a big percentage change. But then you know, there's

1270
01:02:50,227 --> 01:02:52,827
Speaker 5: obviously the style of viewership and what the fans want

1271
01:02:52,827 --> 01:02:54,907
Speaker 5: to see. Do they want to see more races with

1272
01:02:56,787 --> 01:02:59,307
Speaker 5: I guess less boats and all the boats pushing for

1273
01:02:59,347 --> 01:03:01,387
Speaker 5: the front or would you rather see everyone together for

1274
01:03:01,427 --> 01:03:03,747
Speaker 5: that spectacle? And I guess that's the sort of things

1275
01:03:03,747 --> 01:03:05,947
Speaker 5: the league are trying to weigh up currently.

1276
01:03:06,507 --> 01:03:09,147
Speaker 2: We'll look forward to seeing what the resolution is around that.

1277
01:03:09,587 --> 01:03:12,347
Speaker 2: These boats, man, they're so quick. The Danish team clocked

1278
01:03:12,387 --> 01:03:14,467
Speaker 2: close to one hundred and four kilometers per hour last

1279
01:03:14,507 --> 01:03:18,387
Speaker 2: year during the German event. That's a competition record. Have

1280
01:03:18,507 --> 01:03:20,987
Speaker 2: you gone that fast and training or close to that?

1281
01:03:22,267 --> 01:03:26,507
Speaker 5: No, that's an outright record. So finally, a lot of

1282
01:03:26,547 --> 01:03:30,547
Speaker 5: the records come when racing because and when it's windy,

1283
01:03:31,067 --> 01:03:35,107
Speaker 5: teams warm up, but naturally you don't push it before

1284
01:03:35,147 --> 01:03:38,187
Speaker 5: the start. So yeah, I think you see a lot

1285
01:03:38,187 --> 01:03:41,827
Speaker 5: of the records coming in the races. In that German event,

1286
01:03:41,867 --> 01:03:44,547
Speaker 5: we clocked just shy of one hundred and that's our

1287
01:03:44,587 --> 01:03:46,867
Speaker 5: top s feeds. I think we're ninety nine point ninety seven.

1288
01:03:47,907 --> 01:03:51,187
Speaker 5: So that was on the first reach, very similar to

1289
01:03:51,187 --> 01:03:54,707
Speaker 5: to the Danasary Massaisco a little bit windy're on the

1290
01:03:54,787 --> 01:03:58,027
Speaker 5: race prior, so yeah, the boat speeds are getting up

1291
01:03:58,027 --> 01:04:00,427
Speaker 5: there and everyone's saying in the boat store a higher

1292
01:04:00,467 --> 01:04:03,227
Speaker 5: level and you know, there's I think there's probably five

1293
01:04:03,307 --> 01:04:05,587
Speaker 5: teams that have gone over one hundred and or maybe

1294
01:04:05,627 --> 01:04:07,667
Speaker 5: four and we're with a fifth one or something like that,

1295
01:04:07,747 --> 01:04:09,507
Speaker 5: so certainly getting up there.

1296
01:04:09,987 --> 01:04:11,627
Speaker 2: It's been quite a bit of movement as well among

1297
01:04:11,707 --> 01:04:15,227
Speaker 2: some of the other teams during sole GPS trendsfer season.

1298
01:04:15,347 --> 01:04:18,467
Speaker 2: What impact do you expect that to have with crews

1299
01:04:18,547 --> 01:04:20,267
Speaker 2: welcoming new sailors on board.

1300
01:04:21,707 --> 01:04:24,147
Speaker 5: Well, I think last year twenty four to twenty five,

1301
01:04:24,227 --> 01:04:28,307
Speaker 5: we saw a few transfers. Andy who left us to

1302
01:04:28,307 --> 01:04:30,587
Speaker 5: go the Brazilians is probably one of the bigger name

1303
01:04:32,107 --> 01:04:34,987
Speaker 5: moving there. And then yeah, it's happening again this season

1304
01:04:35,027 --> 01:04:38,427
Speaker 5: to even great extent with the Artemis team forming, so

1305
01:04:38,467 --> 01:04:42,547
Speaker 5: that causing a shuffle up. Ian Jensen moving from the

1306
01:04:42,587 --> 01:04:45,707
Speaker 5: British team back to his home and of Australia with

1307
01:04:46,107 --> 01:04:49,547
Speaker 5: Slingsby and the crew and a bunch of others. So

1308
01:04:50,187 --> 01:04:53,107
Speaker 5: that comes that's for sure going to shake things up.

1309
01:04:53,227 --> 01:04:56,027
Speaker 5: I mean, everyone's good sailors, right, and they're transferring across

1310
01:04:56,027 --> 01:04:59,267
Speaker 5: because other teams want them for their skill set, but

1311
01:04:59,427 --> 01:05:02,707
Speaker 5: it takes time to integrate in and for teams to

1312
01:05:02,787 --> 01:05:06,027
Speaker 5: gell as a unit. So I'm sure you're going to

1313
01:05:06,027 --> 01:05:09,747
Speaker 5: see change up and there'll just be those teams at

1314
01:05:09,747 --> 01:05:13,387
Speaker 5: slot in quickly that you know, get towards the front.

1315
01:05:13,427 --> 01:05:16,467
Speaker 5: And I think we're really lucky we've got a consistent group.

1316
01:05:16,947 --> 01:05:19,667
Speaker 5: You know, introduced Leo last year. The rest of us

1317
01:05:19,747 --> 01:05:23,147
Speaker 5: have been there since the beginning and you know we've

1318
01:05:23,267 --> 01:05:26,867
Speaker 5: rolled into twenty twenty six with good continuity in Perth.

1319
01:05:27,027 --> 01:05:29,067
Speaker 2: As you mentioned next week the Fremantle Doctor. It's an

1320
01:05:29,187 --> 01:05:32,427
Speaker 2: iconic sailing location, isn't it That doctor will get up

1321
01:05:32,467 --> 01:05:36,267
Speaker 2: between beyond twenty knots are you expecting you know, are

1322
01:05:36,307 --> 01:05:39,307
Speaker 2: you expecting that next weekend? And conditions whise, what are

1323
01:05:39,347 --> 01:05:41,147
Speaker 2: you preparing for in Perth?

1324
01:05:42,867 --> 01:05:46,787
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're definitely preparing for windy conditions. The league has

1325
01:05:47,347 --> 01:05:49,507
Speaker 5: bought the racing Fords. I think we're starting at one

1326
01:05:49,547 --> 01:05:52,387
Speaker 5: o'clock or one point thirty to try and get ahead

1327
01:05:52,427 --> 01:05:56,627
Speaker 5: of the peak Freemantle Doctor Breeze. But yeah, it's an

1328
01:05:56,787 --> 01:05:59,427
Speaker 5: iconic place of sale from the America's Cup in eighty

1329
01:05:59,467 --> 01:06:04,227
Speaker 5: seven and you know, myself and Will Pete we've sailed

1330
01:06:04,227 --> 01:06:07,267
Speaker 5: there in twenty eleven, our first World Champs podium came

1331
01:06:07,307 --> 01:06:09,587
Speaker 5: there in the forty nine or back in twenty eleven,

1332
01:06:10,147 --> 01:06:13,227
Speaker 5: so fifteen years later we're back there. So yeah, really

1333
01:06:13,747 --> 01:06:17,227
Speaker 5: really looking forward to getting there and getting their fifties

1334
01:06:17,267 --> 01:06:19,747
Speaker 5: out there. But like you say, it's going to be

1335
01:06:19,867 --> 01:06:23,947
Speaker 5: challenging conditions and you know how windy it is and

1336
01:06:23,987 --> 01:06:26,107
Speaker 5: how big the sea staters. We'll just have to wait

1337
01:06:26,187 --> 01:06:27,827
Speaker 5: and see. But if it gets to the top end,

1338
01:06:27,867 --> 01:06:30,227
Speaker 5: for sure, teams we'll be trying to preserve a little

1339
01:06:30,227 --> 01:06:33,867
Speaker 5: bit and you know, make sure they're getting the boats

1340
01:06:33,867 --> 01:06:36,427
Speaker 5: and sales around the racetrap because it's a long season

1341
01:06:36,467 --> 01:06:40,947
Speaker 5: ahead and with three apacker rent events back to back and.

1342
01:06:40,987 --> 01:06:43,227
Speaker 2: Just to finish on the second of end of the

1343
01:06:43,227 --> 01:06:45,507
Speaker 2: season back to Walkland. I know your focus is on Perth,

1344
01:06:45,587 --> 01:06:48,187
Speaker 2: but back to Walkland for the second time forth there

1345
01:06:48,347 --> 01:06:50,267
Speaker 2: last year and there were some issues in and around

1346
01:06:50,467 --> 01:06:52,827
Speaker 2: day two. From memory, how driven a you to win

1347
01:06:52,867 --> 01:06:54,667
Speaker 2: that home event in Auckland.

1348
01:06:54,827 --> 01:06:58,667
Speaker 5: Ah, we want nothing more. It's always awesome to race

1349
01:06:58,707 --> 01:07:01,267
Speaker 5: in front of our home fans. We had two great

1350
01:07:01,307 --> 01:07:06,667
Speaker 5: events down in Utatahi and then Auckland last year was

1351
01:07:07,187 --> 01:07:10,627
Speaker 5: awesome with that Eastleigh breeze, big crowd out. So yeah,

1352
01:07:10,627 --> 01:07:13,147
Speaker 5: hopefully we can get good breeze again and you know

1353
01:07:13,267 --> 01:07:16,027
Speaker 5: we can slot and have a good weekend. But really

1354
01:07:16,067 --> 01:07:18,467
Speaker 5: looking forward to racing your home. You know it's only

1355
01:07:18,707 --> 01:07:20,707
Speaker 5: only a few weeks around the corner now.

1356
01:07:20,867 --> 01:07:22,587
Speaker 2: Yep, can't wait to be there. All the best in

1357
01:07:23,147 --> 01:07:25,427
Speaker 2: Perth next weekend, Blair, always good to chat. We'll look

1358
01:07:25,467 --> 01:07:26,587
Speaker 2: forward to catching up in Auckland.

1359
01:07:27,227 --> 01:07:28,667
Speaker 5: Yeah, cheers, funny, appreciate mate.

1360
01:07:28,667 --> 01:07:30,787
Speaker 2: Thanks, no, I appreciate your time, Blair. Thanks Tonday Blair

1361
01:07:31,107 --> 01:07:34,307
Speaker 2: chuck their black foils, co ceo and wing trimmers. So yeah,

1362
01:07:34,347 --> 01:07:39,627
Speaker 2: next weekend Perth, the Perthsal Grand Prix for the very

1363
01:07:39,667 --> 01:07:43,027
Speaker 2: first time and then Auckland February fourteen, fifteen. Just can't

1364
01:07:43,027 --> 01:07:45,507
Speaker 2: wait for it. A month away. Man, it's going to

1365
01:07:45,587 --> 01:07:48,267
Speaker 2: be so busy, isn't it? Sports wise? In February March.

1366
01:07:48,307 --> 01:07:49,827
Speaker 2: I was talking to someone yesterday about where the real

1367
01:07:49,907 --> 01:07:52,707
Speaker 2: sweet spot of sport is, where the season's collide and

1368
01:07:52,747 --> 01:07:54,067
Speaker 2: you don't know which way to look. I think it

1369
01:07:54,107 --> 01:07:57,107
Speaker 2: is kind of that late February into March time, where

1370
01:07:57,147 --> 01:08:00,907
Speaker 2: cricket is still going on and there's still a league, football,

1371
01:08:00,987 --> 01:08:04,147
Speaker 2: super Rugby gets underway, Sale GP and all sorts of

1372
01:08:04,227 --> 01:08:07,307
Speaker 2: other things American sport or some of it reaching its climax.

1373
01:08:07,307 --> 01:08:10,027
Speaker 2: There's so much on. I kind of think it is

1374
01:08:10,067 --> 01:08:12,987
Speaker 2: that February March time anyway, fourteen fifteen February and Auckland.

1375
01:08:13,507 --> 01:08:18,267
Speaker 2: Then it's to Sydney, to Rio, Bermuda, New York, Halifax,

1376
01:08:18,627 --> 01:08:25,107
Speaker 2: Portsmouth up to Germany. There's a Spanish, a Spanish event

1377
01:08:25,187 --> 01:08:28,907
Speaker 2: with the dates to be confirmed, Santra pe Dubai and

1378
01:08:28,947 --> 01:08:32,227
Speaker 2: the season finale in Abu Dhabi. Thirteen events all inside

1379
01:08:32,267 --> 01:08:35,027
Speaker 2: the calendar year for sale GP across this year will

1380
01:08:35,187 --> 01:08:37,907
Speaker 2: certainly keep you right up to date with that. Speaking

1381
01:08:37,907 --> 01:08:41,867
Speaker 2: of American sport wild Card game in the NFL, this

1382
01:08:41,947 --> 01:08:45,707
Speaker 2: is the NFC wild Card Game. It's just to and fro.

1383
01:08:45,907 --> 01:08:48,947
Speaker 2: This game absolutely to and Fro. My Son sent me

1384
01:08:48,947 --> 01:08:51,707
Speaker 2: a message before. He's the NFL expert in our house,

1385
01:08:52,267 --> 01:08:55,067
Speaker 2: and he said, this game is just crazy. I genuinely

1386
01:08:55,187 --> 01:08:57,827
Speaker 2: have no words. Two minutes to go. The Panthers now

1387
01:08:57,947 --> 01:09:00,867
Speaker 2: lead thirty one twenty seven. So the Rams women, they

1388
01:09:00,867 --> 01:09:03,307
Speaker 2: owned Super Bowl a couple of years ago. Did they

1389
01:09:03,307 --> 01:09:03,707
Speaker 2: win it?

1390
01:09:03,947 --> 01:09:04,467
Speaker 6: Did they win it?

1391
01:09:04,507 --> 01:09:06,947
Speaker 2: Andy? Did the Rams win Super Bowl years ago? Well,

1392
01:09:06,947 --> 01:09:08,627
Speaker 2: they're going to be knocked out. That's the thing about

1393
01:09:08,627 --> 01:09:11,827
Speaker 2: the NFL, though, Wasn't it so hard to string a

1394
01:09:11,867 --> 01:09:15,907
Speaker 2: dynasty together? Even Kansas, Kansas City are out, aren't they

1395
01:09:16,107 --> 01:09:19,347
Speaker 2: I'll ask you again, Andy, Kansas. They didn't make the playoffs,

1396
01:09:19,827 --> 01:09:22,307
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, but I thought they were this juggernaut that's

1397
01:09:22,387 --> 01:09:23,307
Speaker 2: going on.

1398
01:09:23,147 --> 01:09:26,347
Speaker 21: If that happens, I think the Patriots. The Patriots didn't

1399
01:09:26,387 --> 01:09:27,987
Speaker 21: win everything and they were still the jug and.

1400
01:09:27,987 --> 01:09:31,187
Speaker 2: Aaw yeah, true, true. Who do you follow in the NFL?

1401
01:09:31,267 --> 01:09:35,947
Speaker 2: We don't need to go there, genuinely. The New Orleans Saints.

1402
01:09:36,307 --> 01:09:38,907
Speaker 2: The New Orleans Saints. Okay, I can see they're thirteenth,

1403
01:09:38,987 --> 01:09:40,747
Speaker 2: so not taking part in the playoffs.

1404
01:09:41,027 --> 01:09:45,187
Speaker 21: No, no, not, they're eliminated from that contention. I think

1405
01:09:45,227 --> 01:09:46,867
Speaker 21: about six weeks ago, Piney.

1406
01:09:47,667 --> 01:09:50,107
Speaker 2: Just like the Minnesota Vikings that we follow in our house,

1407
01:09:50,267 --> 01:09:51,747
Speaker 2: and they had a great finish of the season. They

1408
01:09:51,747 --> 01:09:54,107
Speaker 2: won the last five games. Unfortunately it was too late.

1409
01:09:54,507 --> 01:09:56,147
Speaker 21: Yeah, but the Saints were like that. They won five

1410
01:09:56,147 --> 01:09:58,987
Speaker 21: of their last six, So you know, that is what

1411
01:09:59,027 --> 01:09:59,267
Speaker 21: it is.

1412
01:09:59,307 --> 01:09:59,467
Speaker 6: Though.

1413
01:09:59,507 --> 01:10:02,987
Speaker 2: That's when I support a team.

1414
01:10:02,987 --> 01:10:04,987
Speaker 21: They don't do good, Pineers, what what I've lent?

1415
01:10:05,587 --> 01:10:05,747
Speaker 6: You know?

1416
01:10:05,907 --> 01:10:09,867
Speaker 2: Very good? Mistakes are low? Yeah, no good stuff, all right.

1417
01:10:09,867 --> 01:10:12,467
Speaker 2: We'll keep eyes on that one, are yeah. So yeah,

1418
01:10:12,507 --> 01:10:16,627
Speaker 2: clock ticking down now with with the Panthers ahead of

1419
01:10:16,747 --> 01:10:18,267
Speaker 2: the Rams. When we come back a little bit of

1420
01:10:18,387 --> 01:10:21,947
Speaker 2: NFL when James mcconey joins us. Among other things, He's

1421

1425
01:10:38,107 --> 01:10:40,467
Speaker 2: On a Sunday, we catch up with James mcconey.

1426
01:10:40,507 --> 01:10:43,747
Speaker 6: Hello mate, kid a poney, how are you very good?

1427
01:10:43,747 --> 01:10:46,387
Speaker 2: Sorry to drag you away from the NFL. We maybe

1428
01:10:46,427 --> 01:10:48,867
Speaker 2: can chat about that, chat about that at some point.

1429
01:10:48,867 --> 01:10:50,267
Speaker 2: I've got a couple of other things I want to

1430
01:10:50,267 --> 01:10:54,667
Speaker 2: ask you about though the Ashes all done Australia for

1431
01:10:54,907 --> 01:10:57,907
Speaker 2: one winners over England. What kind of stands out as

1432
01:10:57,947 --> 01:10:59,427
Speaker 2: you reflect back on the Ashes?

1433
01:11:00,307 --> 01:11:03,507
Speaker 10: Well, I think the questions will be asked about, you know,

1434
01:11:03,547 --> 01:11:07,347
Speaker 10: in the wash up, about alcohol, drinking, you know, planning,

1435
01:11:08,027 --> 01:11:10,387
Speaker 10: you know, even how to just keep busy on tour

1436
01:11:10,427 --> 01:11:13,747
Speaker 10: without getting drunk. But I asked myself that after every

1437
01:11:13,747 --> 01:11:15,987
Speaker 10: tour as well, poney, So I can't throw stones living

1438
01:11:16,027 --> 01:11:19,907
Speaker 10: in this classhouse mate, you know, it's like Crystal Palace,

1439
01:11:19,947 --> 01:11:24,027
Speaker 10: the original Crystal Palace, here, but as athletes, I think

1440
01:11:24,067 --> 01:11:26,587
Speaker 10: they are really taking a look at that. Because Mitchell

1441
01:11:26,627 --> 01:11:29,507
Speaker 10: Stark he didn't drink for six weeks building up to

1442
01:11:29,507 --> 01:11:33,467
Speaker 10: the Ashes and only had one beer during the series apparently.

1443
01:11:34,827 --> 01:11:37,787
Speaker 10: I don't know if that's true or not, but that

1444
01:11:37,867 --> 01:11:39,987
Speaker 10: will shine the light on that. But there's also more

1445
01:11:40,027 --> 01:11:43,147
Speaker 10: than just the boozing and the and the misbehavior in

1446
01:11:43,147 --> 01:11:47,267
Speaker 10: Wellington by Harry Brook. I think it's just a division

1447
01:11:47,347 --> 01:11:50,147
Speaker 10: in mindset and approach to the game.

1448
01:11:50,787 --> 01:11:53,147
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the difference is also is that

1449
01:11:53,867 --> 01:11:56,107
Speaker 2: is that is that you know, you and I if

1450
01:11:56,107 --> 01:11:58,627
Speaker 2: we go on tour, aren't responsible. We don't carry the

1451
01:11:58,667 --> 01:12:01,667
Speaker 2: hopes of our nation, do we? We report back on

1452
01:12:01,707 --> 01:12:03,547
Speaker 2: what happens. And I get the feeling that Mitchell Stark

1453
01:12:03,547 --> 01:12:06,147
Speaker 2: would have made up for it after the series, particularly

1454
01:12:06,227 --> 01:12:09,067
Speaker 2: of Trevis's head was around exactly.

1455
01:12:09,187 --> 01:12:11,907
Speaker 10: Trevisy looks like a good time, doesn't he straight onto

1456
01:12:11,907 --> 01:12:15,347
Speaker 10: the golf course. I'm holding a ridiculous partner chip. But

1457
01:12:16,227 --> 01:12:18,107
Speaker 10: I mean I looked at look. I feel like Ben

1458
01:12:18,147 --> 01:12:18,987
Speaker 10: and McCollen.

1459
01:12:18,667 --> 01:12:18,947
Speaker 4: Will be.

1460
01:12:20,787 --> 01:12:22,587
Speaker 10: Under the spotlight. He may have to go back to

1461
01:12:22,627 --> 01:12:25,707
Speaker 10: the drawing board in terms of the approach, because it

1462
01:12:25,787 --> 01:12:27,747
Speaker 10: sounds like Ben Stokes that the two of them are

1463
01:12:27,787 --> 01:12:30,787
Speaker 10: at loggerheads there. But that's I guess what happens sometimes

1464
01:12:30,867 --> 01:12:33,907
Speaker 10: in the losing team. And I mean with with bass ball,

1465
01:12:33,947 --> 01:12:36,547
Speaker 10: it's tricky because I sort of feel like, you know,

1466
01:12:37,747 --> 01:12:40,107
Speaker 10: you've got to know when to basball, you know, no

1467
01:12:40,187 --> 01:12:42,507
Speaker 10: when to leave it, no when to swing away, no

1468
01:12:42,587 --> 01:12:45,427
Speaker 10: when to run. You know. It's it's one of those

1469
01:12:45,467 --> 01:12:48,187
Speaker 10: things where there might be a time and place for it.

1470
01:12:48,267 --> 01:12:51,267
Speaker 10: And I actually thought in the last Test they played, yes,

1471
01:12:51,387 --> 01:12:54,507
Speaker 10: maybe after Jacob Befel got out after that beautiful tarme

1472
01:12:54,587 --> 01:12:56,547
Speaker 10: that he scored, would have been a time for a

1473
01:12:56,587 --> 01:13:00,307
Speaker 10: Colin to ground Holmes style accelerate the score. But it

1474
01:13:00,787 --> 01:13:03,347
Speaker 10: feels like it's all gone out the window now and

1475
01:13:04,147 --> 01:13:06,867
Speaker 10: it's kind of each man for themselves, which isn't really

1476
01:13:07,027 --> 01:13:10,747
Speaker 10: say much for the team cohesion, No, it doesn't.

1477
01:13:10,787 --> 01:13:14,107
Speaker 2: Indeed, Joe Route was probably well, he was statistically anyway,

1478
01:13:14,467 --> 01:13:17,027
Speaker 2: the best of their batters. He's he's second only to

1479
01:13:17,067 --> 01:13:19,867
Speaker 2: such Inten Dolka in terms of all time Test run

1480
01:13:19,947 --> 01:13:22,587
Speaker 2: Steve Smith's up over ten and a half thousand nour

1481
01:13:22,707 --> 01:13:25,067
Speaker 2: on Cain Williamson's knocking on the door of ten thousand

1482
01:13:25,067 --> 01:13:29,067
Speaker 2: and two. I know Joe Route by the numbers will

1483
01:13:29,067 --> 01:13:32,027
Speaker 2: have to go down Wady is England's greatest ever test batter.

1484
01:13:33,147 --> 01:13:35,427
Speaker 10: Yeah he will. I think, you know, forty one tons

1485
01:13:35,467 --> 01:13:39,387
Speaker 10: and chasing down Satch in there. Like I mentioned, I

1486
01:13:39,467 --> 01:13:42,427
Speaker 10: think it's one of those things where the Fab Four,

1487
01:13:42,507 --> 01:13:46,587
Speaker 10: Steve Smith very Holy, Joe Reht and Cain Williamson, everybody's

1488
01:13:46,587 --> 01:13:49,427
Speaker 10: got a favorite in there. And Kaine's actually second on

1489
01:13:49,507 --> 01:13:54,107
Speaker 10: average behind Steve Smith with fifty four zero point six eight.

1490
01:13:54,147 --> 01:13:57,347
Speaker 10: Steve Smith just above fifty six for his test average.

1491
01:13:57,387 --> 01:13:59,947
Speaker 10: But I think because Kaine's only played one hundred and

1492
01:13:59,947 --> 01:14:02,627
Speaker 10: eight Tests, and one of the biggest problems I think

1493
01:14:03,147 --> 01:14:05,507
Speaker 10: is that in his prime he was never given regular

1494
01:14:05,547 --> 01:14:08,627
Speaker 10: tests again Australia. So in the same way that an

1495
01:14:08,627 --> 01:14:12,027
Speaker 10: Italian or a Romanian rugby player may never be considered

1496
01:14:12,027 --> 01:14:14,827
Speaker 10: the best in the world because there's not enough opportunities

1497
01:14:14,867 --> 01:14:17,867
Speaker 10: to prove it, the same goes for Kine and so,

1498
01:14:19,387 --> 01:14:21,627
Speaker 10: but only one of the Fab four has won a

1499
01:14:21,667 --> 01:14:24,627
Speaker 10: World Test Championship and captained them to that title, and

1500
01:14:24,667 --> 01:14:27,587
Speaker 10: that is Kane Williamson. And you know they're saying like,

1501
01:14:27,747 --> 01:14:30,187
Speaker 10: who would you have that for your life? Well, for

1502
01:14:30,307 --> 01:14:34,427
Speaker 10: me it would be came because he's unflappable and when

1503
01:14:34,467 --> 01:14:36,507
Speaker 10: he scores this entry and takes his helmet off, there's

1504
01:14:36,507 --> 01:14:38,427
Speaker 10: no sweat. Poney, he's a cool customer.

1505
01:14:38,907 --> 01:14:43,067
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is that? That always amazes me when guys

1506
01:14:43,507 --> 01:14:45,907
Speaker 2: and the heat of the battle can just remain completely

1507
01:14:45,987 --> 01:14:49,307
Speaker 2: unaffected by it all, both mentally and also physically. There's

1508
01:14:49,347 --> 01:14:51,347
Speaker 2: not as ever a beat of sweat on the man.

1509
01:14:52,187 --> 01:14:54,187
Speaker 10: He's a freak, but he's never given that chance. So

1510
01:14:54,227 --> 01:14:56,427
Speaker 10: if he played regularly, you know, if we had ashes

1511
01:14:56,467 --> 01:14:58,707
Speaker 10: tests or you know, the equivalent of five Test series

1512
01:14:58,707 --> 01:15:01,747
Speaker 10: against Australia every year or every second year, I think

1513
01:15:01,787 --> 01:15:05,347
Speaker 10: we would have seen Caine eclipse those that the other

1514
01:15:05,627 --> 01:15:07,827
Speaker 10: members of the FAV four or at least be as

1515
01:15:07,827 --> 01:15:11,507
Speaker 10: good as anyone on there. So statistically, so yeah, shout

1516
01:15:11,507 --> 01:15:13,667
Speaker 10: out for Kane. He's just been robbed by a terrible

1517
01:15:13,747 --> 01:15:16,387
Speaker 10: schedule because we're kind of considered a minnow.

1518
01:15:17,107 --> 01:15:18,707
Speaker 2: It's a shame, isn't it. Well let's look at the

1519
01:15:18,747 --> 01:15:21,587
Speaker 2: modern day in terms of cricket. Our black caps busy

1520
01:15:21,667 --> 01:15:24,027
Speaker 2: Scheduley head with the T twenty World Cup coming up

1521
01:15:24,227 --> 01:15:26,707
Speaker 2: five T twenty matches against India, spoke to Rutch and

1522
01:15:26,747 --> 01:15:28,907
Speaker 2: Revender after midday. Great to catch up with him, but

1523
01:15:28,987 --> 01:15:33,267
Speaker 2: the black Caps have a fifty over series against India

1524
01:15:33,307 --> 01:15:35,667
Speaker 2: starting tonight. It's a bit of a fresh face side

1525
01:15:36,107 --> 01:15:39,107
Speaker 2: Christian Clark gonna make a debut. You'll be a fan

1526
01:15:39,187 --> 01:15:39,307
Speaker 2: of this.

1527
01:15:40,427 --> 01:15:45,267

1584

Speaker 2: believe how windy it is, and running into the northerly

1585
01:19:01,547 --> 01:19:06,947

Speaker 2: try and boost the score one forty one for for

1594
01:19:31,187 --> 01:19:36,147
Speaker 2: the Blaze, having batting or batted first rather against the

1595
01:19:36,187 --> 01:19:38,747
Speaker 2: Northern Brave. The men's game is to follow it just

1596
01:19:38,787 --> 01:19:41,787
Speaker 2: repeating the news that the La Rams have won the

Speaker 2: up against the Bears from around two o'clock, So that

1600
01:19:52,427 --> 01:19:56,147
Speaker 2: game about to get under way in Chicago. What are

1601
01:19:56,227 --> 01:19:59,427
Speaker 2: we up to after two o'clock? Well, the Wellington Phoenix

1602
01:19:59,427 --> 01:20:02,267
Speaker 2: are in action this afternoon. The men. The women played

1603
01:20:02,307 --> 01:20:04,547
Speaker 2: yesterday at Pottydoor Park and went down two one to

1604
01:20:04,587 --> 01:20:07,867
Speaker 2: Melbourne City. The men will be looking to to do

1605
01:20:08,147 --> 01:20:11,307
Speaker 2: better against Adelaide United this afternoon. They coming off the

1606
01:20:11,347 --> 01:20:15,707
Speaker 2: back of a really, really impressive win last weekend against

1607
01:20:15,747 --> 01:20:18,827
Speaker 2: Brisbane Raw. They went over to Brisbane they had been

1608
01:20:19,107 --> 01:20:22,787
Speaker 2: beaten five to one in their previous game against Melbourne Victory.

1609
01:20:22,867 --> 01:20:25,307
Speaker 2: Just five or six days before that. They went to

1610
01:20:25,467 --> 01:20:31,707
Speaker 2: Redcliffe actually in Queensland, and despite being down a man

1611
01:20:31,827 --> 01:20:33,467
Speaker 2: for the best part of an hour of the game

1612
01:20:33,827 --> 01:20:36,307
Speaker 2: after Carlo Amiento was sent off, they won the game

1613
01:20:36,387 --> 01:20:40,307
Speaker 2: three nil. Really impressive and coach John calo Ataliano said

1614
01:20:40,347 --> 01:20:44,107
Speaker 2: afterwards it was the best performance he'd ever seen from

1615
01:20:44,107 --> 01:20:47,027
Speaker 2: a Wellington Phoenix side that he had been involved in.

1616
01:20:47,147 --> 01:20:49,907
Speaker 2: So they take on Adelaide United this afternoon, kickoff in

1617
01:20:49,987 --> 01:20:52,067
Speaker 2: just over an hour at three o'clock. Again, the wind

1618
01:20:52,147 --> 01:20:54,227
Speaker 2: is likely to be a factor. Anyone who's been to

1619
01:20:54,427 --> 01:20:57,067
Speaker 2: Sky Stadium knows how much it swirls around in there,

1620
01:20:57,467 --> 01:20:59,747
Speaker 2: so that's an extra factor. I guess the Phoenix will

1621
01:20:59,747 --> 01:21:02,387
Speaker 2: be used to it more so than Adelaide United. Isaac

01:24:43,467 --> 01:24:46,907
Speaker 2: To start the overall Auckland eventually winning by eighty runs

1691
01:24:46,947 --> 01:24:50,067
Speaker 2: to continue Canterbury's misery. That's five straight defeats for the

1692
01:24:50,107 --> 01:24:53,227
Speaker 2: women now, but the Kings, that's the Canterbury men's side

1693
01:24:53,227 --> 01:24:56,027

01:24:56,067 --> 01:24:59,347
Speaker 2: Tom Latham and Matt Boyle leading the way and.

1695
01:24:59,307 --> 01:25:00,307
Speaker 9: That'll be fifty for Tom.

1696
01:25:00,387 --> 01:25:05,027
Speaker 23: Latham goes through to his half century in just twenty

1697
01:25:05,147 --> 01:25:05,907
Speaker 23: nine deliveries.

1698
01:25:07,987 --> 01:25:09,627
Speaker 20: This is outside edge and he gets a bit of

1699
01:25:09,707 --> 01:25:12,307
Speaker 20: luck boil but it races for four to third.

1700
01:25:12,107 --> 01:25:15,427
Speaker 2: Man and despite eighty eight from Bevin Jacobs and eighty

1701
01:25:15,507 --> 01:25:19,987
Speaker 2: from Cam Fletcher, Auckland fell seventeen run short and to

1702
01:25:20,027 --> 01:25:22,987
Speaker 2: the FA Cup. A debut goal from new signing Antoine

1703
01:25:23,027 --> 01:25:27,067
Speaker 2: Semenho helped Manchester City beat Exeter. Yes me chep Si

1704
01:25:27,147 --> 01:25:29,147
Speaker 2: sign percent to gate receipts.

1705
01:25:29,187 --> 01:25:33,187
Speaker 19: He goes Sameno charging for Samonnio scores, slips it in,

1706
01:25:34,067 --> 01:25:39,987
Speaker 19: gets a goal on his Manchester City debut. He's set

1707
01:25:40,027 --> 01:25:41,987
Speaker 19: on up already at the start of the second half.

1708
01:25:42,067 --> 01:25:43,907
Speaker 19: He has hit the ground running.

1709
01:25:43,787 --> 01:25:46,027
Speaker 2: And when I say helped Manchester City, that's a bit

1710
01:25:46,027 --> 01:25:48,067
Speaker 2: of a scretch. It was one of ten goals they

1711
01:25:48,147 --> 01:25:52,227
Speaker 2: scored in a ten to one rout of Exeter. And finally,

1712
01:25:52,467 --> 01:25:56,547
Speaker 2: as we've already heard this afternoon Meclesfield with the upset

1713
01:25:56,747 --> 01:25:59,987
Speaker 2: of the year so far. We're only teen eleven days

1714
01:26:00,027 --> 01:26:03,427
Speaker 2: and but the upset of quite a few years.

1715
01:26:03,907 --> 01:26:04,707
Speaker 6: I've done it.

1716
01:26:06,747 --> 01:26:14,667
Speaker 18: You've just readnissed something truly special, utterly remarkable nuckles.

1717
01:26:14,267 --> 01:26:21,147
Speaker 6: Field notting episode. This is one of the greatest.

1718
01:26:20,667 --> 01:26:27,067
Speaker 18: Adverlup sets and the long long history of this incredible competition.

1719

Speaker 1: Analyzing every view from every angle in the sporting world.

1723

Speaker 1: Weekend Sport with Jason five Call eight use talk.

1724
01:26:49,147 --> 01:26:52,827
Speaker 2: Ziby simply fromendus who doesn't love an upset apart from

1725
01:26:52,907 --> 01:26:56,107
Speaker 2: the team that is upset. Staying with football, the Wellington

1726
01:26:56,107 --> 01:26:58,467
Speaker 2: Phoenix back in a league means action this afternoon. They

1727
01:26:58,467 --> 01:27:01,867
Speaker 2: face Adelaide United sky Stadium from three o'clock this afternoon,

1728
01:27:01,907 --> 01:27:05,027
Speaker 2: off the back of a confidence boosting win over Brisbane

1729
01:27:05,107 --> 01:27:07,187
Speaker 2: Raw last time out, and the.

1730
01:27:07,147 --> 01:27:16,467
Speaker 22: Whistle goes Willington. Phoenix maker statements they will remember this

1731
01:27:16,587 --> 01:27:20,547
Speaker 22: one for a very very long time. No love lost

1732
01:27:20,627 --> 01:27:24,747
Speaker 22: between the teams, but Willington have matched the fights and

1733
01:27:24,787 --> 01:27:28,067
Speaker 22: the bites of Brisbane and they have come away with

1734
01:27:28,227 --> 01:27:29,827
Speaker 22: a famous three points.

1735
01:27:29,987 --> 01:27:32,707
Speaker 2: Yeah, big win last week at reid Cliff three nils

1736
01:27:32,707 --> 01:27:35,747
Speaker 2: so Edelaide United this afternoon. During the week I spoke

1737
01:27:35,787 --> 01:27:38,467
Speaker 2: with Phoenix defender Isaac Hughes asked them, first of all,

1738
01:27:38,507 --> 01:27:42,147
Speaker 2: how satisfying the three nil win away at Brisbane was

1739
01:27:42,307 --> 01:27:43,067
Speaker 2: last weekend.

1740
01:27:43,867 --> 01:27:47,427
Speaker 24: Yeah, it was really satisfying, to be honest. I think

1741
01:27:47,547 --> 01:27:51,307
Speaker 24: chief mentions. We spoke about needing to suffer together before

1742
01:27:51,307 --> 01:27:54,627
Speaker 24: the game and then Carlo got sent off, and you know,

1743
01:27:54,627 --> 01:27:56,307
Speaker 24: we spoke to each other during the game just saying like,

1744
01:27:56,387 --> 01:27:58,587
Speaker 24: let's get to halftime, and then we got to half

1745
01:27:58,627 --> 01:28:01,347
Speaker 24: and it was like that's were like, I think we

1746
01:28:01,467 --> 01:28:03,947
Speaker 24: mentioned halftime that we thought we could pinch another, you know,

1747
01:28:03,987 --> 01:28:07,627
Speaker 24: on the break, and you know, we felt comfortable defending,

1748
01:28:07,627 --> 01:28:10,107
Speaker 24: you know, I've got and Racer next to me, Corbyn

1749
01:28:10,147 --> 01:28:11,587
Speaker 24: next to me, you know, Chez and Cass on the

1750
01:28:11,587 --> 01:28:16,067
Speaker 24: other side. We feel confident in our defensive ability. So yeah,

1751
01:28:16,187 --> 01:28:16,667
Speaker 24: we were.

1752
01:28:16,507 --> 01:28:19,547
Speaker 2: Calm and when the final whistle go's something, you get

1753
01:28:19,587 --> 01:28:20,947
Speaker 2: your sick and then you get your third right at

1754
01:28:20,947 --> 01:28:22,867
Speaker 2: the end. It's a very very good win. Chiefs scored

1755
01:28:22,867 --> 01:28:24,827
Speaker 2: at the best. He said, as a coach, what's the

1756
01:28:24,907 --> 01:28:28,107
Speaker 2: degree of satisfaction in the playing group after a Yeah,

1757
01:28:28,547 --> 01:28:29,467
Speaker 2: after alling like that.

1758
01:28:30,427 --> 01:28:35,347
Speaker 24: I think, I don't know. I'm tossing up between the

1759
01:28:35,387 --> 01:28:38,067
Speaker 24: second and third goal for which was best to like celebrate.

1760
01:28:38,187 --> 01:28:41,707
Speaker 24: Second was like we've been absorbing pressure, but like the

1761
01:28:41,747 --> 01:28:44,107
Speaker 24: time was going so fast, you know, because we were

1762
01:28:44,107 --> 01:28:47,987
Speaker 24: defending action after action. But when Kazu scored, it was like, yes,

1763
01:28:48,027 --> 01:28:49,987
Speaker 24: we're going to win. But then when Lbs scored, it

1764
01:28:50,067 --> 01:28:52,707
Speaker 24: was like it's done, Like the game's over, and we

1765
01:28:52,707 --> 01:28:55,227
Speaker 24: were just like celebrating with that. There was a lot

1766
01:28:55,267 --> 01:28:57,067
Speaker 24: of traveling fans there as well, so that was like

1767
01:28:57,547 --> 01:29:00,267
Speaker 24: really nice in that corner to like have a proper celebration.

1768
01:29:00,467 --> 01:29:03,107
Speaker 24: So yeah, it was just unbelievable feeling.

1769
01:29:05,187 --> 01:29:08,067
Speaker 2: It's not unusual. You've probably been in teams before where

1770
01:29:08,067 --> 01:29:09,787
Speaker 2: you've had a man sent off and you know you

1771
01:29:09,827 --> 01:29:12,387
Speaker 2: play with ten. What are the keys to defending well

1772
01:29:12,427 --> 01:29:13,307
Speaker 2: when you're out numbered?

1773
01:29:14,627 --> 01:29:18,507
Speaker 24: Communication, I think is number one. We spoke about it halftime,

1774
01:29:18,667 --> 01:29:23,227
Speaker 24: just and it can't be like one person or like

1775
01:29:23,267 --> 01:29:25,627
Speaker 24: a couple of people, you know, like the usual people

1776
01:29:25,627 --> 01:29:28,667
Speaker 24: who speak loud when the opposition's got one more. We

1777
01:29:28,747 --> 01:29:33,707
Speaker 24: need to talk and pass people on and slide. You know,

1778
01:29:33,747 --> 01:29:36,107
Speaker 24: they would load in the top line with like felt

1779
01:29:36,107 --> 01:29:37,827
Speaker 24: like eight players. I don't know what it actually was,

1780
01:29:37,827 --> 01:29:42,947
Speaker 24: but it felt like eight, and yeah, just sliding over

1781
01:29:42,947 --> 01:29:45,587
Speaker 24: to the where the ballside is and then as they

1782
01:29:45,587 --> 01:29:49,267
Speaker 24: switch it, sliding over and just sort of prioritizing danger,

1783
01:29:49,347 --> 01:29:49,507
Speaker 24: you know.

1784
01:29:50,107 --> 01:29:52,307
Speaker 2: And there are moments within the game, as you say,

1785
01:29:52,587 --> 01:29:55,187
Speaker 2: across the whatever it was sixty seventy minutes. When you're

1786
01:29:55,227 --> 01:29:57,707
Speaker 2: out numbered, it's a collective ivo, but there are moments,

1787
01:29:57,787 --> 01:29:59,747
Speaker 2: individual moments, And there's one you slid in and made

1788
01:29:59,787 --> 01:30:02,707
Speaker 2: the last ditch take all in the penalty area. When

1789
01:30:02,747 --> 01:30:04,627
Speaker 2: you see others do things like that, does that also

1790
01:30:04,707 --> 01:30:07,507
Speaker 2: lift the entire team that guys are really just putting

1791
01:30:07,507 --> 01:30:09,387
Speaker 2: their body on the line for the shirt.

1792
01:30:10,587 --> 01:30:12,747
Speaker 24: Yeah, I don't know how long halftime was because this

1793
01:30:12,867 --> 01:30:15,547
Speaker 24: is also something we spoke about at half time. But

1794
01:30:16,107 --> 01:30:19,587
Speaker 24: I said to Lucas and Chez, you know, like celebrate

1795
01:30:19,827 --> 01:30:23,427
Speaker 24: every defensive action sort of thing, like because I don't know,

1796
01:30:23,467 --> 01:30:25,507
Speaker 24: it's hard to describe something you'd probably have to ask

1797
01:30:25,547 --> 01:30:29,747
Speaker 24: our psychologists. But when you really reward each other for

1798
01:30:29,827 --> 01:30:34,667
Speaker 24: that defensive action, you know, like say my block or

1799
01:30:34,707 --> 01:30:37,027
Speaker 24: like I feel like Chez made a big block, Rufe

1800
01:30:37,107 --> 01:30:39,267
Speaker 24: made a block early on in the first half, and

1801
01:30:39,507 --> 01:30:42,587
Speaker 24: like Aimon made a big save. When you're getting around

1802
01:30:42,587 --> 01:30:45,827
Speaker 24: each other and like high five and stuff, it just

1803
01:30:45,867 --> 01:30:50,307
Speaker 24: builds this like belief and also this just like Bond

1804
01:30:50,547 --> 01:30:52,067
Speaker 24: and you're just like right, I'm going to throw my

1805
01:30:52,147 --> 01:30:55,547
Speaker 24: body at anything to like help my teammates teammates out,

1806
01:30:55,587 --> 01:30:57,747
Speaker 24: and you know, I think that's something we can take

1807
01:30:57,747 --> 01:30:58,707
Speaker 24: into every game from now.

1808
01:31:00,107 --> 01:31:02,707
Speaker 2: You're keeping You mentioned the aim on difficult, you know,

1809
01:31:02,787 --> 01:31:07,467
Speaker 2: starting deboo against Melbourne five days before clean sheet. How

1810
01:31:07,507 --> 01:31:09,467
Speaker 2: did you kind of get around him and support him

1811
01:31:09,587 --> 01:31:13,147
Speaker 2: because he's he's eighteen years old, it's a it's a

1812
01:31:13,187 --> 01:31:15,347
Speaker 2: hot bit of a situation. How did you rip some

1813
01:31:15,387 --> 01:31:17,707
Speaker 2: support around him as a team.

1814
01:31:17,387 --> 01:31:17,987
Speaker 5: I think.

1815
01:31:19,547 --> 01:31:22,827
Speaker 24: Anyone who knows who knows as an interesting character. He

1816
01:31:22,947 --> 01:31:26,107
Speaker 24: is a keeper, yeah yeah, but even for a keeper.

1817
01:31:26,747 --> 01:31:31,467
Speaker 24: But I think Aimon has such a good mentality. I

1818
01:31:31,467 --> 01:31:36,747
Speaker 24: think Aimon wasn't phase at all, Like he wasn't phased

1819
01:31:36,747 --> 01:31:39,027
Speaker 24: that always conceded five and then he's gone and got

1820
01:31:39,027 --> 01:31:41,667
Speaker 24: the first clean sheet this season. That shows his Mentality's

1821
01:31:41,747 --> 01:31:44,027
Speaker 24: very quick to move on to the next action. And

1822
01:31:44,027 --> 01:31:48,147
Speaker 24: I think I wasn't worried at all before the game.

1823
01:31:48,227 --> 01:31:51,027
Speaker 24: Like obviously when you have a younger keeper in you

1824
01:31:51,067 --> 01:31:54,427
Speaker 24: need to help them out throughout the game. But same

1825
01:31:54,507 --> 01:31:57,547
Speaker 24: with any other player, you know, sometimes there's pressure moments.

1826
01:31:57,587 --> 01:32:01,267
Speaker 24: Sometimes I feel like sometimes Aimon so wants to play

1827
01:32:01,307 --> 01:32:03,387
Speaker 24: it so quick because in training we play so quick.

1828
01:32:03,907 --> 01:32:06,467
Speaker 24: But obviously in Australia when it's thirty five degrees, I

1829
01:32:06,547 --> 01:32:09,827
Speaker 24: came on, give us the rest, lad, you know. But

1830
01:32:09,987 --> 01:32:12,587
Speaker 24: like apart from that, I think, you know, that's just

1831
01:32:12,707 --> 01:32:15,747
Speaker 24: that will come with experience and stuff. So I feel

1832
01:32:15,747 --> 01:32:17,027
Speaker 24: comfortable with aim On behind me.

1833
01:32:17,707 --> 01:32:20,307
Speaker 2: And so on to Eddelaide on the weekend. I guess

1834
01:32:20,307 --> 01:32:23,387
Speaker 2: the trick is to build consistency. With the table so tight,

1835
01:32:23,387 --> 01:32:25,627
Speaker 2: it doesn't take much to jump up or to fall down,

1836
01:32:25,827 --> 01:32:28,147
Speaker 2: so how to even sure consistency and a good performance

1837
01:32:28,747 --> 01:32:29,987
Speaker 2: on Sunday against the Eddelaide.

1838
01:32:31,347 --> 01:32:31,587
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1839
01:32:31,707 --> 01:32:32,387
Speaker 5: I think.

1840
01:32:34,307 --> 01:32:37,987
Speaker 6: Adelaide at home was probably our.

1841
01:32:37,907 --> 01:32:39,547
Speaker 24: Best performance of the season last time.

1842
01:32:40,027 --> 01:32:40,907
Speaker 6: I think the.

1843
01:32:40,907 --> 01:32:43,587
Speaker 24: Reason was was because we were so poor against MacArthur,

1844
01:32:43,747 --> 01:32:48,147
Speaker 24: like unacceptably poor. That the week before and training we

1845
01:32:48,147 --> 01:32:52,387
Speaker 24: were stressing intensity and starting fast, and I think that's

1846
01:32:52,387 --> 01:32:54,987
Speaker 24: something we have to do on the weekend as well.

1847
01:32:54,987 --> 01:32:56,467
Speaker 24: We have to start fast, we have to be on

1848
01:32:56,507 --> 01:32:59,547
Speaker 24: the front foot, really aggressive in our press, and that

1849
01:32:59,667 --> 01:33:01,307
Speaker 24: sets the tone for the rest of the game. You know,

1850
01:33:01,347 --> 01:33:05,227
Speaker 24: we can't against MacArthur we started really slow. So I

1851
01:33:05,227 --> 01:33:08,027
Speaker 24: think the same again. Start like we did against Brisbane.

1852
01:33:08,067 --> 01:33:10,427
Speaker 24: Start fast, you know, set the tone of the game

1853
01:33:10,467 --> 01:33:11,867
Speaker 24: and then just keep the pressure on from there.

1854
01:33:12,507 --> 01:33:16,147
Speaker 2: And just finally, what is is I like to defend?

1855
01:33:16,307 --> 01:33:20,787
Speaker 2: Because it looks terrifically difficult for opposition defenders and training,

1856
01:33:21,587 --> 01:33:23,627
Speaker 2: how difficult to see to defend?

1857
01:33:25,947 --> 01:33:30,827
Speaker 24: Essays got like there's a trade in football where like

1858
01:33:32,507 --> 01:33:35,747
Speaker 24: some the ball bounces for him for some reason, the

1859
01:33:35,787 --> 01:33:40,027
Speaker 24: ball bounces for him, and I think a lot of

1860
01:33:40,067 --> 01:33:42,747
Speaker 24: defenders pull out of tackles with him, like or going

1861
01:33:42,867 --> 01:33:45,707
Speaker 24: half in which means he just wins the ball and

1862
01:33:45,747 --> 01:33:49,867
Speaker 24: as a reacts to stuff way quicker than anyone else.

1863
01:33:49,907 --> 01:33:53,187
Speaker 24: So like sometimes in training he'll mess up his touch

1864
01:33:53,227 --> 01:33:56,347
Speaker 24: and instead a lot of like European style players or

1865
01:33:56,427 --> 01:33:59,427
Speaker 24: Kiwi's a missed it, but he reacts so quick to

1866
01:33:59,467 --> 01:34:02,267
Speaker 24: his touch all of a sudden, his pasture so like

1867
01:34:02,347 --> 01:34:05,547
Speaker 24: it's it's hard to describe. It's just kind of like

1868
01:34:05,627 --> 01:34:07,707
Speaker 24: a a different style.

1869
01:34:08,107 --> 01:34:10,907
Speaker 2: That is the voice of Ice a q's Wellington Phoenix defender.

1870
01:34:10,947 --> 01:34:14,027
Speaker 2: I also spoke to his fellow defender Corbyn Piper about

1871
01:34:14,067 --> 01:34:15,947
Speaker 2: how important the win over Brisbane was.

1872
01:34:15,987 --> 01:34:20,027
Speaker 17: First of all, Oh, yeah, huge, like Brisbane's obviously showing

1873
01:34:20,067 --> 01:34:22,747
Speaker 17: their class this year and yeah, getting a three old

1874
01:34:22,747 --> 01:34:26,187
Speaker 17: win against them, especially with ten men's great momentum for us.

1875
01:34:26,227 --> 01:34:30,267
Speaker 17: We needed it after the five nol defeat to victory,

1876
01:34:30,307 --> 01:34:31,627
Speaker 17: but yeah, it's huge for us.

1877
01:34:31,947 --> 01:34:33,907
Speaker 2: Tell us about the conversations that were going on when

1878
01:34:34,147 --> 01:34:35,227
Speaker 2: you go down to ten men.

1879
01:34:35,347 --> 01:34:37,947
Speaker 17: It's a tricky one because we can't really stop and

1880
01:34:37,987 --> 01:34:39,827
Speaker 17: have a chat with Chief, you know, we sort of

1881
01:34:39,867 --> 01:34:42,867
Speaker 17: need to speak amongst ourselves, and I guess it was

1882
01:34:43,027 --> 01:34:46,187
Speaker 17: just filling in the spot. I think fan Conchi went

1883
01:34:46,307 --> 01:34:49,187
Speaker 17: left pack for a bit just until halftime until we

1884
01:34:49,227 --> 01:34:52,027
Speaker 17: could get to speak with Chief. But it was just

1885
01:34:52,627 --> 01:34:56,147
Speaker 17: It's all about mindset when it comes to that sort

1886
01:34:56,147 --> 01:34:59,907
Speaker 17: of situation. And the night before we're speaking about suffering

1887
01:34:59,947 --> 01:35:02,107
Speaker 17: as a team together and we didn't expect it to

1888
01:35:02,147 --> 01:35:04,027
Speaker 17: be the next day, but there we were suffering as

1889
01:35:04,027 --> 01:35:06,947
Speaker 17: a team and we did well to get the three points.

1890
01:35:07,027 --> 01:35:09,147
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would have been in situations before where you've

1891
01:35:09,147 --> 01:35:11,947
Speaker 2: played with ten against eleven and played eleven v ten

1892
01:35:12,027 --> 01:35:14,827
Speaker 2: obviously and for a while eleven v nine in the derby.

1893
01:35:14,867 --> 01:35:18,187
Speaker 2: But what are the keys to making yourselves difficult to

1894
01:35:18,227 --> 01:35:19,867
Speaker 2: break down when you are outnumbered?

1895
01:35:20,347 --> 01:35:23,947
Speaker 17: I think it's just all about like fighting as a team,

1896
01:35:23,987 --> 01:35:28,147
Speaker 17: you know, like having one less player obviously, meetings more

1897
01:35:28,227 --> 01:35:31,587
Speaker 17: running for the other ten and unfortunately it was in

1898
01:35:31,627 --> 01:35:34,347
Speaker 17: the first twenty minutes for us, but yeah, it's just

1899
01:35:34,387 --> 01:35:36,307
Speaker 17: all about working hard for one another.

1900
01:35:36,387 --> 01:35:39,027
Speaker 2: You know, you're satisfied after everyone, But is the extra

1901
01:35:39,067 --> 01:35:41,027
Speaker 2: satisfaction knowing that you've kind of done it a little

1902
01:35:41,027 --> 01:35:41,747
Speaker 2: bit against the odds?

1903
01:35:41,787 --> 01:35:45,147
Speaker 17: Yeah, one hundred percent, because going down to ten men

1904
01:35:45,387 --> 01:35:48,667
Speaker 17: that early, everyone expects it to be like a blowover

1905
01:35:48,747 --> 01:35:52,067
Speaker 17: for the other team, you know, and yeah, it's definitely

1906
01:35:52,147 --> 01:35:53,147
Speaker 17: way more satisfying.

1907
01:35:53,187 --> 01:35:56,227
Speaker 2: Yeah, and your versatility again to the four another new

1908
01:35:56,227 --> 01:35:58,067
Speaker 2: position for you, I don't even know what to call

1909
01:35:58,107 --> 01:35:59,867
Speaker 2: you now. I think we just called you a utility.

1910
01:35:59,867 --> 01:36:03,867
Speaker 2: How did you enjoy a more defensive brief on Saturday?

1911
01:36:04,027 --> 01:36:06,347
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean it was good to defend the game.

1912
01:36:06,467 --> 01:36:08,747
Speaker 17: You know, I was meant to be actually right wing back,

1913
01:36:08,827 --> 01:36:10,227
Speaker 17: so I was meant to be pushing up the line.

1914
01:36:10,227 --> 01:36:13,907
Speaker 17: But obviously the game changed where we went down to

1915
01:36:13,947 --> 01:36:16,267
Speaker 17: ten men and I had to be in a more

1916
01:36:16,267 --> 01:36:18,347
Speaker 17: defensive role this week.

1917
01:36:18,627 --> 01:36:21,707
Speaker 2: How did you support Amon McCarran, I mean, brand new

1918
01:36:21,747 --> 01:36:25,107
Speaker 2: to the team, eighteen years old, five goals on the

1919
01:36:25,107 --> 01:36:28,147
Speaker 2: previous game. How did you kind of get around him

1920
01:36:28,147 --> 01:36:30,387
Speaker 2: and make sure that he was okay for the Brisbane game?

1921
01:36:30,707 --> 01:36:32,787
Speaker 2: And obviously, you know, keep the clean sheets. That did

1922
01:36:32,827 --> 01:36:33,347
Speaker 2: a great job.

1923
01:36:33,667 --> 01:36:35,627
Speaker 17: I mean just as a team, you know, it's just

1924
01:36:35,867 --> 01:36:38,227
Speaker 17: you got to forget about the past game. You know,

1925
01:36:38,267 --> 01:36:41,027
Speaker 17: you got to train well that week. He trained well,

1926
01:36:41,107 --> 01:36:43,147
Speaker 17: he came out and got a clean sheet. I think

1927
01:36:43,147 --> 01:36:45,627
Speaker 17: he got man in the match. I can't like, you know,

1928
01:36:45,747 --> 01:36:48,747
Speaker 17: that's just shows you just need to forget about the

1929
01:36:48,747 --> 01:36:51,947
Speaker 17: week before and work as a team, get around each other.

1930
01:36:52,387 --> 01:36:54,587
Speaker 17: You know, like when he makes a good save, we

1931
01:36:54,587 --> 01:36:57,387
Speaker 17: were all surrounding him. Like, you know, hyping him up,

1932
01:36:57,427 --> 01:36:59,307
Speaker 17: telling him he's done well. And I think it's just

1933
01:36:59,347 --> 01:37:01,187
Speaker 17: all about confidence, and I think he did great.

1934
01:37:01,627 --> 01:37:04,867
Speaker 2: In Brisbane, you know, came as advertised their physical side.

1935
01:37:04,867 --> 01:37:06,747
Speaker 2: They liked to you know, they liked to be a

1936
01:37:06,747 --> 01:37:10,547
Speaker 2: bit confrontational. Were you prepared for that and how did

1937
01:37:10,587 --> 01:37:13,547
Speaker 2: you set about consciously countering their physicality.

1938
01:37:13,947 --> 01:37:16,587
Speaker 17: We didn't really prepare for it, you know, like it's

1939
01:37:16,907 --> 01:37:18,747
Speaker 17: with every team, they're going to be physical. I think

1940
01:37:18,787 --> 01:37:23,707
Speaker 17: Brisbane they like to play a very ambitious and physical way.

1941
01:37:23,787 --> 01:37:26,507
Speaker 17: But yeah, with those sort of teams, you sort of

1942
01:37:26,547 --> 01:37:30,187
Speaker 17: just got to keep stick to your game plan, let

1943
01:37:30,227 --> 01:37:33,627
Speaker 17: them be aggressive, let them do that, you know. And yeah,

1944
01:37:33,707 --> 01:37:36,107
Speaker 17: unfortunately we got the red card, but we thought they

1945
01:37:36,267 --> 01:37:36,907
Speaker 17: might get one.

1946
01:37:37,747 --> 01:37:40,747
Speaker 2: And I guess now the trick is to build on this, right,

1947
01:37:41,387 --> 01:37:43,827
Speaker 2: you know, to build consistency. Now the table's so tight,

1948
01:37:44,107 --> 01:37:46,307
Speaker 2: doesn't take much to jump up a few places. How

1949
01:37:46,347 --> 01:37:48,267
Speaker 2: do you prepare for Adelaide on Sunday?

1950
01:37:48,707 --> 01:37:51,347
Speaker 17: I think just working hard this week, you know, like

1951
01:37:51,427 --> 01:37:54,387
Speaker 17: we were straight back into it yesterday. We've just been

1952
01:37:54,427 --> 01:37:58,547
Speaker 17: working hard and focusing on everything we've been focusing on

1953
01:37:58,787 --> 01:38:03,107
Speaker 17: this whole year, and using that momentum and everything to

1954
01:38:03,187 --> 01:38:06,067
Speaker 17: drive the team into getting a back to back when, ye.

1955
01:38:06,467 --> 01:38:08,387
Speaker 2: How are you going with the ups and downs of

1956
01:38:08,467 --> 01:38:10,227
Speaker 2: being a professional footballer? You know it came into this

1957
01:38:10,267 --> 01:38:12,987
Speaker 2: team last year and it's been a roller coaster? Man,

1958
01:38:13,587 --> 01:38:16,947
Speaker 2: How of you mentally dealt with the day to day

1959
01:38:16,987 --> 01:38:18,587
Speaker 2: of being a professional?

1960
01:38:19,187 --> 01:38:22,347
Speaker 17: I just prepared at an amateur level the same I

1961
01:38:22,387 --> 01:38:24,627
Speaker 17: would in a professional level, you know, like I was

1962
01:38:24,667 --> 01:38:30,147
Speaker 17: always preparing to get for my opportunity being professional professional. Sorry,

1963
01:38:30,507 --> 01:38:35,307
Speaker 17: and I literally just yeah, I trained the way I

1964
01:38:35,347 --> 01:38:38,827
Speaker 17: thought I would train in a professional environment mentally and

1965
01:38:38,867 --> 01:38:42,627
Speaker 17: physically at an amateur level. So it kind of made

1966
01:38:42,627 --> 01:38:44,907
Speaker 17: the step up and to hear a bit more easier

1967
01:38:44,907 --> 01:38:46,987
Speaker 17: for me mentally, you know, because I was already prepared

1968
01:38:47,427 --> 01:38:49,867
Speaker 17: in a way to go through the ups and downs

1969
01:38:49,907 --> 01:38:51,907
Speaker 17: that we have. So yeah, And.

1970
01:38:51,867 --> 01:38:54,547
Speaker 2: Do you feel a sense of optimism about the I mean,

1971
01:38:54,747 --> 01:38:57,187
Speaker 2: what are we through eleven games, not even halfway yet?

1972
01:38:57,227 --> 01:38:59,827
Speaker 2: Do you feel optimistic about what the second half of

1973
01:38:59,867 --> 01:39:02,067
Speaker 2: the season might bring for Wellington? Yeah?

1974
01:39:02,147 --> 01:39:05,267
Speaker 17: Like it's so close on the table, Like you said,

1975
01:39:05,307 --> 01:39:08,707
Speaker 17: it's one game and you're up to like top four,

1976
01:39:08,747 --> 01:39:10,387
Speaker 17: you know, and then one loss and you could be

1977
01:39:10,747 --> 01:39:14,147
Speaker 17: at the very bottom. So it's it's every game to

1978
01:39:14,307 --> 01:39:16,547
Speaker 17: die for right now, and I think every team's thinking

1979
01:39:16,587 --> 01:39:17,147
Speaker 17: the same thing.

1980
01:39:17,387 --> 01:39:19,827
Speaker 2: That is Corbyn Piper, who will again line up for

Speaker 1: builder news Dogs.

2035
01:42:16,907 --> 01:42:21,027
Speaker 2: Be coming up two thirty four January. A time for resolutions,

2036
01:42:21,067 --> 01:42:23,427
Speaker 2: for making plans to ensure the year ahead is your

2037
01:42:23,467 --> 01:42:27,907
Speaker 2: best ever and to implement positive change to improve performance.

2038
01:42:27,947 --> 01:42:31,227
Speaker 2: But The fact is most resolutions fail. In fact, many

2039
01:42:31,667 --> 01:42:34,387
Speaker 2: don't even make it into February. So how do those

2040
01:42:34,427 --> 01:42:38,147
Speaker 2: of us involved in sport make and more importantly, keep

2041
01:42:38,267 --> 01:42:42,027
Speaker 2: our New Year's resolutions. There's only one man I would ask,

2042
01:42:42,107 --> 01:42:47,547
Speaker 2: our coaching guru, Global sports performance consultant, Wayne Goldsmith, who

2043
01:42:47,627 --> 01:42:49,627
Speaker 2: joins us. Ow Wayne, You've sent me a wonderful one

2044
01:42:49,747 --> 01:42:52,587
Speaker 2: pager that we're going to post on our socials about this.

2045
01:42:52,707 --> 01:42:54,267
Speaker 2: I want to talk through the main points of it.

2046
01:42:54,307 --> 01:42:57,707
Speaker 2: But first of all, one of the myths of making

2047
01:42:57,827 --> 01:43:00,427
Speaker 2: and keeping resolutions, you tell me, is that you need

2048
01:43:00,907 --> 01:43:05,947
Speaker 2: grandiose gestures, one hundred dollars diaries, new wearable technology to

2049
01:43:05,987 --> 01:43:09,347
Speaker 2: motivate you to act, when actually you believe it's the

2050
01:43:09,427 --> 01:43:13,307
Speaker 2: other way around, and getting moving with even a small

2051
01:43:13,387 --> 01:43:17,187
Speaker 2: step is the key to all of this. Well, happy

2052
01:43:17,187 --> 01:43:20,267
Speaker 2: to you, Piney, Happy New Year to everybody in my

2053
01:43:20,547 --> 01:43:24,787
Speaker 2: second most favorite country in the world, of course. But look,

2054
01:43:24,827 --> 01:43:27,987
Speaker 2: I've made a resolution not to make any more resolutions.

2055
01:43:27,747 --> 01:43:32,547
Speaker 20: That's that's fed by resolution. But what I think happens

2056
01:43:32,587 --> 01:43:37,747
Speaker 20: with resolutions, Piny, is people make more of it than

2057
01:43:37,787 --> 01:43:40,427
Speaker 20: it needs to be and they.

2058
01:43:41,987 --> 01:43:43,667
Speaker 6: They go right. What I need is.

2059
01:43:44,507 --> 01:43:46,947
Speaker 20: Signs on my wall, you're going to print out this

2060
01:43:47,027 --> 01:43:49,227
Speaker 20: is going to be my year, And they print out posters,

2061
01:43:49,347 --> 01:43:52,507
Speaker 20: or they go and buy a piece of technology that

2062
01:43:52,587 --> 01:43:56,067
Speaker 20: measures heart rate and weight and height and gives you

2063
01:43:56,147 --> 01:43:58,827
Speaker 20: a lot of numbers for next week, and they think

2064
01:43:58,867 --> 01:44:01,587
Speaker 20: they need to make these big gestures and spend lots

2065
01:44:01,627 --> 01:44:02,067
Speaker 20: of money.

2066
01:44:02,547 --> 01:44:05,987
Speaker 6: Whereas you know all the stuff that and certainly.

2067
01:44:05,747 --> 01:44:08,347
Speaker 20: If anyone really it's Mike Manson staff and James Clear

2068
01:44:08,467 --> 01:44:11,347
Speaker 20: stuff and you've read some of that stuff. What it

2069
01:44:11,427 --> 01:44:15,227
Speaker 20: keeps coming out over and over again is that you

2070
01:44:15,307 --> 01:44:19,547
Speaker 20: don't need to be motivated to start a resolution. You

2071
01:44:19,707 --> 01:44:24,267
Speaker 20: need to start doing something that provides the motivation.

2072
01:44:24,507 --> 01:44:26,267
Speaker 6: I think way too many people are looking.

2073
01:44:26,067 --> 01:44:29,347
Speaker 20: For a magic key or a secret trick, or a

2074
01:44:29,427 --> 01:44:34,547
Speaker 20: poster or something that's going to strange and revolutionize their

2075
01:44:34,907 --> 01:44:37,707
Speaker 20: life instead of just say no, let's get going tomorrow morning.

2076
01:44:37,747 --> 01:44:39,707
Speaker 6: I'm going to do this five minutes.

2077
01:44:40,307 --> 01:44:43,787
Speaker 20: And that creates momentum, and that creates motivation.

2078
01:44:44,387 --> 01:44:46,587
Speaker 2: Is it also the fact that doing something small is

2079
01:44:46,627 --> 01:44:51,107
Speaker 2: perhaps what feels more achievable than setting this big, huge

2080
01:44:51,187 --> 01:44:54,387
Speaker 2: mass of daunting gold and you're almost paralyzed by it.

2081
01:44:54,267 --> 01:44:59,107
Speaker 2: It is actually taking a step. The best first step.

2082
01:45:00,067 --> 01:45:03,547
Speaker 20: Absolutely and have you ever noticed that a lot of

2083
01:45:03,587 --> 01:45:06,467
Speaker 20: the people who write about resolutions and goal setting and

2084
01:45:06,467 --> 01:45:08,827
Speaker 20: so on, one of the things they say is do

2085
01:45:08,947 --> 01:45:13,107
Speaker 20: first things first, and do the big things first, and do.

2086
01:45:13,107 --> 01:45:16,147
Speaker 6: The high proteins. I don't know any of us can

2087
01:45:16,267 --> 01:45:16,827
Speaker 6: keep to that.

2088
01:45:16,867 --> 01:45:19,427
Speaker 20: You know, if I've got seven or eight things to do,

2089
01:45:19,507 --> 01:45:22,067
Speaker 20: and one might be a four or five page report

2090
01:45:22,147 --> 01:45:25,347
Speaker 20: or a proposal or something like that, the idea of

2091
01:45:25,387 --> 01:45:27,667
Speaker 20: sitting down first thing in the morning, no matter how

2092
01:45:27,747 --> 01:45:32,747
Speaker 20: much caffeleen I've had, and doing that first is pretty daunting.

2093
01:45:33,187 --> 01:45:34,667
Speaker 6: So what I'll caught off and do is.

2094
01:45:34,627 --> 01:45:37,627
Speaker 20: I'll do a two hundred word social media place so

2095
01:45:37,667 --> 01:45:40,027
Speaker 20: the old brain starts to click in a little bit,

2096
01:45:40,387 --> 01:45:42,227
Speaker 20: and then I might ring a colleague and we'll have

2097
01:45:42,227 --> 01:45:44,507
Speaker 20: a chat about whatever's in the news at the moment

2098
01:45:44,547 --> 01:45:47,947
Speaker 20: in sport, and then I might and then my brains,

2099
01:45:47,987 --> 01:45:51,147
Speaker 20: like you would in any exercise program, that little bit

2100
01:45:51,187 --> 01:45:54,387
Speaker 20: of action, momentum builds and builds, and then you.

2101
01:45:54,427 --> 01:45:56,307
Speaker 6: Go, right, let's get into this thing.

2102
01:45:56,987 --> 01:46:02,147
Speaker 20: And I think that that idea of creating your own momentum,

2103
01:46:02,467 --> 01:46:06,947
Speaker 20: your own movement, just getting things rolling, and then it

2104
01:46:07,067 --> 01:46:09,907
Speaker 20: gains momentum and then bang, all of a sudden, you're there,

2105
01:46:10,347 --> 01:46:12,067
Speaker 20: you know, and look, you've only got to look at

2106
01:46:12,067 --> 01:46:13,227
Speaker 20: the fitness industry, pinty.

2107
01:46:14,627 --> 01:46:18,307
Speaker 6: The fitness industry makes so much money.

2108
01:46:18,347 --> 01:46:20,987
Speaker 20: So gyms and fitness centers and so on, they make

2109
01:46:21,147 --> 01:46:26,067
Speaker 20: so much money when in January because everyone's going this.

2110
01:46:25,947 --> 01:46:28,267
Speaker 6: Is the year, gym membership.

2111
01:46:28,027 --> 01:46:31,907
Speaker 20: Hot pilates, whatever's going on at the moment, spin classes,

2112
01:46:32,067 --> 01:46:34,507
Speaker 20: this is the year. And they spend huge amounts of

2113
01:46:34,507 --> 01:46:37,907
Speaker 20: money and promise they're going to come every day and

2114
01:46:38,067 --> 01:46:41,707
Speaker 20: change their life and high protein diets, and then by

2115
01:46:41,747 --> 01:46:43,547
Speaker 20: the time they get the first week of every they're

2116
01:46:43,587 --> 01:46:48,387
Speaker 20: going how to offload my membership? Whereas if they started small,

2117
01:46:49,067 --> 01:46:54,067
Speaker 20: achievable little things and just stick at it, that's the

2118
01:46:54,347 --> 01:46:57,107
Speaker 20: and I think people are so stressed about a plenty

2119
01:46:57,147 --> 01:46:59,507
Speaker 20: they go, I've got to do it every day and

2120
01:46:59,547 --> 01:47:02,227
Speaker 20: it has to be thirty minutes, and no it doesn't.

2121
01:47:02,747 --> 01:47:06,467
Speaker 20: It has to be whatever works and whatever's fun and

2122
01:47:06,507 --> 01:47:09,627
Speaker 20: whatever you feel like. As long as you're doing something

2123
01:47:10,187 --> 01:47:14,587
Speaker 20: and creating that movement and that momentum, things start to happen.

2124
01:47:15,267 --> 01:47:17,387
Speaker 2: We mentioned a word there, I think which is key

2125
01:47:17,387 --> 01:47:20,187
Speaker 2: as well, and that's fun, Because if we don't like

2126
01:47:20,227 --> 01:47:22,587
Speaker 2: doing something, I guess there's less chance that we will

2127
01:47:22,627 --> 01:47:25,547
Speaker 2: continue doing it. So how important is it to make

2128
01:47:25,627 --> 01:47:29,787
Speaker 2: things enjoyable and to find the fun in our resolutions?

2129
01:47:30,747 --> 01:47:30,907
Speaker 5: Oh?

2130
01:47:31,547 --> 01:47:33,427
Speaker 6: It's so important, isn't it?

2131
01:47:33,467 --> 01:47:38,627
Speaker 20: Because look, if you google what are the top five ways,

2132
01:47:39,107 --> 01:47:41,187
Speaker 20: or go to AI and go what are the top

2133
01:47:41,387 --> 01:47:45,027
Speaker 20: five ways to burn killer jills? It'll say running, cross

2134
01:47:45,027 --> 01:47:47,427
Speaker 20: country skiing, probably swimming.

2135
01:47:47,427 --> 01:47:49,907
Speaker 6: It will say something like that. Well, that's great.

2136
01:47:50,147 --> 01:47:53,347
Speaker 20: But if you hate running and you've got you've got

2137
01:47:53,827 --> 01:47:56,667
Speaker 20: sourceins and bad knees and maybe carrying a couple of

2138
01:47:56,747 --> 01:48:00,067
Speaker 20: kilos after Christmas dinner, and you live at a high

2139
01:48:00,067 --> 01:48:04,107
Speaker 20: climate see cross country ski and you can't swim, it

2140
01:48:04,187 --> 01:48:07,427
Speaker 20: doesn't matter what the experts are. What Google is telling

2141
01:48:07,427 --> 01:48:09,707
Speaker 20: you is going to burn the most killer jills. But

2142
01:48:09,827 --> 01:48:11,787
Speaker 20: if you go, you know what I really like doing.

2143
01:48:12,067 --> 01:48:14,147
Speaker 20: I like walking, and then when I come back from

2144
01:48:14,147 --> 01:48:16,547
Speaker 20: a walk, I like to do ten or fifteen minutes

2145
01:48:16,587 --> 01:48:19,787
Speaker 20: of light exercise around the house, which could be in it.

2146
01:48:20,027 --> 01:48:22,227
Speaker 6: I mean, I live in the bush, right, and.

2147
01:48:24,187 --> 01:48:26,027
Speaker 20: You and I should market this and make some money

2148
01:48:26,067 --> 01:48:28,347
Speaker 20: out of it, because I've got this thing I call

2149
01:48:28,467 --> 01:48:31,867
Speaker 20: bush fitness, and around our house we've got rocks and

2150
01:48:31,907 --> 01:48:35,507
Speaker 20: we've got logs, and we've got sticks and all sorts

2151
01:48:35,507 --> 01:48:38,427
Speaker 20: of stuff of bricks and things around the house. And

2152
01:48:39,067 --> 01:48:41,547
Speaker 20: what I like to do, as crazy as it sounds,

2153
01:48:41,907 --> 01:48:46,387
Speaker 20: sometimes I just moved the wood pile from one place

2154
01:48:46,387 --> 01:48:49,307
Speaker 20: to another place only a few meters. Now I'm getting

2155
01:48:49,387 --> 01:48:51,627
Speaker 20: a little bit of a rapeic exercise. I'm getting some

2156
01:48:51,787 --> 01:48:54,067
Speaker 20: arm strength, a little bit of leg strength, I'm getting

2157
01:48:54,147 --> 01:48:55,707
Speaker 20: up a back strength, and I.

2158
01:48:55,627 --> 01:48:56,147
Speaker 6: Love doing it.

2159
01:48:56,307 --> 01:49:00,107
Speaker 20: Costs me nothing. In the past, I've spent a fortune

2160
01:49:00,347 --> 01:49:00,987
Speaker 20: on waits.

2161
01:49:01,027 --> 01:49:01,827
Speaker 6: I mean, how many.

2162
01:49:01,707 --> 01:49:04,307
Speaker 20: Times have we all got a new year and we've

2163
01:49:04,347 --> 01:49:06,787
Speaker 20: gone on to marketplace, so we've gone on line, or

2164
01:49:06,787 --> 01:49:08,107
Speaker 20: we've gone to.

2165
01:49:08,107 --> 01:49:09,307
Speaker 6: A sports store.

2166
01:49:09,667 --> 01:49:12,147
Speaker 20: We've spent one hundred and two hundred and three hundred

2167
01:49:12,147 --> 01:49:14,907
Speaker 20: and four hundred dollars on sports equipment that all it

2168
01:49:14,947 --> 01:49:16,987
Speaker 20: does is end up sitting in the corner of the

2169
01:49:17,067 --> 01:49:18,787
Speaker 20: room and we'll use it for a leadweight to keep

2170
01:49:18,827 --> 01:49:21,387
Speaker 20: the door open, or somewhere to hang our shirts. You know,

2171
01:49:21,947 --> 01:49:24,787
Speaker 20: just if there's something around the house you're like doing,

2172
01:49:25,107 --> 01:49:28,587
Speaker 20: just do that. Don't waste too much money and too

2173
01:49:28,667 --> 01:49:30,827
Speaker 20: much time. Just get moving and do something.

2174
01:49:31,547 --> 01:49:37,347
Speaker 2: When we talk about training and staying accountable and being consistent,

2175
01:49:37,587 --> 01:49:42,347
Speaker 2: often having somebody else there must help with that. So

2176
01:49:42,907 --> 01:49:44,907
Speaker 2: bring a buddy along for the ride. Would that be

2177
01:49:44,947 --> 01:49:46,387
Speaker 2: a fair piece of advice.

2178
01:49:47,147 --> 01:49:50,947
Speaker 6: You would think so, And you know, try to find somebody.

2179
01:49:51,667 --> 01:49:54,227
Speaker 20: You know, in a perfect world, you'd find somebody who

2180
01:49:54,307 --> 01:49:57,147
Speaker 20: had the same level of fitness and same training background,

2181
01:49:57,227 --> 01:50:00,427
Speaker 20: and just find someone who you can get along with,

2182
01:50:00,867 --> 01:50:05,707
Speaker 20: because look fine. In my distant past, I was part

2183
01:50:05,707 --> 01:50:09,507
Speaker 20: of the estrange Ethon team and manage Australian triathlon team

2184
01:50:09,547 --> 01:50:11,147
Speaker 20: going into the Athens Olympics.

2185
01:50:11,347 --> 01:50:12,187
Speaker 6: I used to get up.

2186
01:50:12,147 --> 01:50:15,747
Speaker 20: In the morning and go running with the elite triathletes.

2187
01:50:15,787 --> 01:50:21,067
Speaker 20: Now before everybody gets excited and things, you know, imagines

2188
01:50:21,147 --> 01:50:24,547
Speaker 20: that I'm like a gazelle running across the fields of France.

2189
01:50:25,787 --> 01:50:27,147
Speaker 6: It was quite the opposite.

2190
01:50:27,507 --> 01:50:29,987
Speaker 20: I got up in the morning and I liked their company,

2191
01:50:30,467 --> 01:50:33,227
Speaker 20: and so we would go downstairs and get a coffee

2192
01:50:33,267 --> 01:50:35,147
Speaker 20: and they'd walk with me for the first ten or

2193
01:50:35,147 --> 01:50:38,307
Speaker 20: fifteen minutes, and then they jogged slowly with me and

2194
01:50:38,307 --> 01:50:40,627
Speaker 20: we'd have a few laughs and a bit of a chat,

2195
01:50:40,867 --> 01:50:42,827
Speaker 20: and then the elite athletes would take off and do

2196
01:50:42,907 --> 01:50:43,507
Speaker 20: their training.

2197
01:50:44,107 --> 01:50:46,107
Speaker 6: So you can do that.

2198
01:50:46,227 --> 01:50:48,867
Speaker 20: You don't have to be look for someone who's got

2199
01:50:48,867 --> 01:50:53,067
Speaker 20: the same size, same weight, same training background. Just go

2200
01:50:53,147 --> 01:50:56,787
Speaker 20: with someone that you enjoy spending time with. And if

2201
01:50:56,787 --> 01:50:58,467
Speaker 20: you fit it than they are, and you're a little

2202
01:50:58,467 --> 01:51:00,827
Speaker 20: more advanced in your training, well say hey, look this

2203
01:51:00,867 --> 01:51:02,347
Speaker 20: is where I'm going to turn off to the left.

2204
01:51:02,347 --> 01:51:04,067
Speaker 20: I'll see you tomorrow. You go and do a little

2205
01:51:04,067 --> 01:51:07,707
Speaker 20: bit harder or longer, and vice versa. If you're with

2206
01:51:07,747 --> 01:51:10,907
Speaker 20: somebody and you're struggling a little bit, say hey, look,

2207
01:51:11,147 --> 01:51:13,827
Speaker 20: I've had a great morning the first fifteen minutes walking

2208
01:51:13,867 --> 01:51:15,307
Speaker 20: with you and warming up.

2209
01:51:15,307 --> 01:51:15,987
Speaker 6: I really love that.

2210
01:51:16,027 --> 01:51:17,667
Speaker 20: I'm going to do my own thing now, I'll see

2211
01:51:17,707 --> 01:51:20,067
Speaker 20: you tomorrow morning. And they can go off and run

2212
01:51:20,067 --> 01:51:21,187
Speaker 20: into the hills and so on.

2213
01:51:21,267 --> 01:51:24,027
Speaker 6: But Troy, don't.

2214
01:51:23,827 --> 01:51:27,107
Speaker 20: Be overly obsessed with who's the fittest and who's just

2215
01:51:27,827 --> 01:51:29,107
Speaker 20: do I like walking with this?

2216
01:51:29,147 --> 01:51:31,107
Speaker 6: But do I like swimming next to them? Do I

2217
01:51:31,267 --> 01:51:34,867
Speaker 6: like riding a bike next to them? If you're looking.

2218
01:51:34,667 --> 01:51:39,227
Speaker 20: Forward to just spending time with your fitness buddy, that's

2219
01:51:39,267 --> 01:51:42,547
Speaker 20: the motivation. They'd be too obsessed with they can do

2220
01:51:42,587 --> 01:51:43,467
Speaker 20: more push up for me?

2221
01:51:43,587 --> 01:51:46,027
Speaker 6: Or how much weight that you forget all that? Just

2222
01:51:46,227 --> 01:51:48,187
Speaker 6: do I like them? And can we get along?

2223
01:51:48,867 --> 01:51:51,307
Speaker 2: There's a very famous saying about the best laid plans,

2224
01:51:51,547 --> 01:51:55,387
Speaker 2: and look, we all know way that life happens. How

2225
01:51:55,427 --> 01:51:59,347
Speaker 2: important is it to be flexible around your resolutions and

2226
01:51:59,427 --> 01:52:03,467
Speaker 2: not getting too streeched out if something happens that jettisons

2227
01:52:03,507 --> 01:52:05,147
Speaker 2: those plans for a little while.

2228
01:52:06,787 --> 01:52:08,507
Speaker 6: I think that's one of the best points Pine.

2229
01:52:08,547 --> 01:52:12,627
Speaker 20: And the best question that we can address is if

2230
01:52:12,667 --> 01:52:16,147
Speaker 20: you're training to win the Olympic gold medal and you're

2231
01:52:16,227 --> 01:52:21,547
Speaker 20: six weeks out and miller meters matter and micro seconds

2232
01:52:21,587 --> 01:52:24,587
Speaker 20: are everything, well, yeah, probably you don't want to miss

2233
01:52:24,587 --> 01:52:27,547
Speaker 20: too many training sessions. But if you if your people

2234
01:52:27,627 --> 01:52:29,307
Speaker 20: like you and I may we just want to feel

2235
01:52:29,347 --> 01:52:32,307
Speaker 20: better and we want to maybe go up or rung

2236
01:52:32,347 --> 01:52:34,587
Speaker 20: on our belts, or we want to have more energy

2237
01:52:34,627 --> 01:52:37,467
Speaker 20: to spend time with our kids that play golf, go

2238
01:52:37,507 --> 01:52:40,547
Speaker 20: fishing and do the things that we like doing. Don't

2239
01:52:40,587 --> 01:52:42,827
Speaker 20: be uverly obsessed and try with it. You know again,

2240
01:52:42,907 --> 01:52:46,187
Speaker 20: this is there's a the beauty of AI as you

2241
01:52:46,227 --> 01:52:48,347
Speaker 20: can go and you can put a little profile about yourself,

2242
01:52:48,387 --> 01:52:51,867
Speaker 20: say hi, I'm Jason Pine on the world's best broadcaster.

2243
01:52:51,987 --> 01:52:53,867
Speaker 20: As you are that I could go on and say

2244
01:52:54,187 --> 01:52:56,547
Speaker 20: I'm a Kiwi, I live here, this is my background,

2245
01:52:56,867 --> 01:52:57,267
Speaker 20: this is what.

2246
01:52:57,267 --> 01:52:59,267
Speaker 6: I like to do. This is the sort of things

2247
01:52:59,307 --> 01:52:59,947
Speaker 6: that interests me.

2248
01:53:00,027 --> 01:53:01,827
Speaker 20: You can do all that in AI, and AI will

2249
01:53:01,867 --> 01:53:05,467
Speaker 20: give you a day by day, hour by our.

2250
01:53:05,387 --> 01:53:06,787
Speaker 6: Training program if you want it.

2251
01:53:07,547 --> 01:53:12,107
Speaker 20: And I urge people don't become slaves to your program.

2252
01:53:12,427 --> 01:53:17,507
Speaker 6: Don't allow it to dictate your life. You're better off.

2253
01:53:17,347 --> 01:53:21,467
Speaker 20: Having an over I'll say, okay, let's think about Jason

2254
01:53:21,547 --> 01:53:24,667
Speaker 20: Pine six months from now. What would I like to

2255
01:53:24,747 --> 01:53:28,067
Speaker 20: see walking down the street. I'd like to go I'd

2256
01:53:28,067 --> 01:53:30,227
Speaker 20: like to have more energy. I'd like to feel better.

2257
01:53:30,627 --> 01:53:32,387
Speaker 20: I'd like to jump out of bed in the morning

2258
01:53:32,427 --> 01:53:34,547
Speaker 20: instead of just sort of rolling over like most of

2259
01:53:34,627 --> 01:53:37,107
Speaker 20: us bite and sit there for a few seconds thinking

2260
01:53:37,107 --> 01:53:38,227
Speaker 20: how do I get through the day?

2261
01:53:38,667 --> 01:53:40,427
Speaker 6: I'd like to do it with stress better.

2262
01:53:40,547 --> 01:53:44,707
Speaker 20: I'd you know, Okay, Well, start with a really clear

2263
01:53:44,827 --> 01:53:47,907
Speaker 20: vision of the endpoint and then work backwards from there

2264
01:53:48,427 --> 01:53:51,147
Speaker 20: and keep the vision really clearly in your mind set.

2265
01:53:51,187 --> 01:53:51,707
Speaker 6: Well, that's for I.

2266
01:53:51,747 --> 01:53:55,467
Speaker 20: Why don't we end up and focus on that rather

2267
01:53:55,547 --> 01:53:57,587
Speaker 20: than Hey, it's ten o'clock, I've got a weak of

2268
01:53:57,627 --> 01:53:58,267
Speaker 20: protein stack.

2269
01:53:58,267 --> 01:54:00,107
Speaker 6: All right, it's three o'clock. I've got to do my bike.

2270
01:54:00,667 --> 01:54:05,787
Speaker 20: Because everything we know about resolutions, the more rigid and inflexible,

2271
01:54:06,587 --> 01:54:08,627
Speaker 20: the less likely it is that you're going to stick

2272
01:54:08,667 --> 01:54:08,907
Speaker 20: to it.

2273
01:54:10,427 --> 01:54:13,147
Speaker 2: And you mentioned before about the you know, the small

2274
01:54:13,187 --> 01:54:15,947
Speaker 2: steps perhaps to begin with, so you've got that vision,

2275
01:54:15,987 --> 01:54:19,107
Speaker 2: as you say, maybe work backwards from there, but there's

2276
01:54:19,227 --> 01:54:24,307
Speaker 2: small sustainable steps the best way to attack, to attack

2277
01:54:24,387 --> 01:54:26,227
Speaker 2: the road to that vision.

2278
01:54:27,067 --> 01:54:30,667
Speaker 20: I think so, you know, look, I think so, And look,

2279
01:54:31,067 --> 01:54:33,267
Speaker 20: you can start with some really simple things, right people,

2280
01:54:33,347 --> 01:54:37,907
Speaker 20: if you've got okay shoulders and an okay ticker, who

2281
01:54:37,987 --> 01:54:39,747
Speaker 20: might say, you know what, this is year I start

2282
01:54:39,787 --> 01:54:42,187
Speaker 20: doing some push ups. You don't have to start with

2283
01:54:42,187 --> 01:54:45,747
Speaker 20: one hundred and thirty seven. And you know, I don't

2284
01:54:45,827 --> 01:54:47,867
Speaker 20: how many people said this year, I've got a goal

2285
01:54:47,907 --> 01:54:49,907
Speaker 20: I'm going to do figure out how I can get

2286
01:54:49,947 --> 01:54:51,987
Speaker 20: fit enough and strong enough to do fifty push ups.

2287
01:54:52,427 --> 01:54:56,027
Speaker 20: So they start the first day, we're doing as many

2288
01:54:56,067 --> 01:54:58,307
Speaker 20: as they possibly can, and of course what happens the

2289
01:54:58,347 --> 01:55:01,427
Speaker 20: next morning they're pick miners and their shoulders are so

2290
01:55:01,427 --> 01:55:04,707
Speaker 20: sore they can't do any So three days off, there's

2291
01:55:04,867 --> 01:55:08,227
Speaker 20: nothing wrong. On the first of January or the eighth

2292
01:55:08,307 --> 01:55:11,387
Speaker 20: of January or the fifteenth of January, starting off and.

2293
01:55:11,267 --> 01:55:15,187
Speaker 6: Doing two push ups or one push up and do.

2294
01:55:15,227 --> 01:55:17,907
Speaker 20: That for a few days, and then do two, and

2295
01:55:17,947 --> 01:55:20,627
Speaker 20: then three weeks later you're doing five, and all of

2296
01:55:20,667 --> 01:55:23,787
Speaker 20: a sudden, by March you're doing your twenty or thirty

2297
01:55:23,827 --> 01:55:24,547
Speaker 20: push ups.

2298
01:55:24,747 --> 01:55:26,227
Speaker 6: But you know, I think.

2299
01:55:26,067 --> 01:55:29,147
Speaker 20: People go, this is it, this is the year, this

2300
01:55:29,187 --> 01:55:37,027
Speaker 20: is my time, and that almost overwhelming desire for revolutionary

2301
01:55:37,147 --> 01:55:40,867
Speaker 20: change to look better and feel better. They try to

2302
01:55:40,907 --> 01:55:43,467
Speaker 20: do too much, too soon, too early, and then they

2303
01:55:43,507 --> 01:55:45,747
Speaker 20: start missing days, and all of a sudden.

2304
01:55:45,467 --> 01:55:49,187
Speaker 6: That's well, maybe next year is the thing. Let's make it.

2305
01:55:49,267 --> 01:55:52,827
Speaker 6: Twenty twenty seven will be the I get better. So yes,

2306
01:55:53,147 --> 01:55:57,187
Speaker 6: give that. Really, there's nothing wrong with going for a

2307
01:55:57,307 --> 01:55:59,987
Speaker 6: five minute walk. You don't have to do an hour.

2308
01:56:01,187 --> 01:56:03,427
Speaker 20: People think in terms of thirty minutes or one hour

2309
01:56:03,507 --> 01:56:05,867
Speaker 20: blocks because cut off, and that's the way exercise classes

2310
01:56:05,867 --> 01:56:09,147
Speaker 20: are set up. There's nothing wrong with doing a five

2311
01:56:09,187 --> 01:56:12,867
Speaker 20: minute walk and two pushups. There's nothing wrong with doing

2312
01:56:13,347 --> 01:56:17,507
Speaker 20: ten minutes on a stationary bike and two sit ups.

2313
01:56:17,627 --> 01:56:19,987
Speaker 6: There's nothing wrong because you.

2314
01:56:19,947 --> 01:56:23,627
Speaker 20: Know, the beauty of our bodies point is that is

2315
01:56:23,707 --> 01:56:27,867
Speaker 20: that they adapt, no matter how old you are, They

2316
01:56:27,947 --> 01:56:32,667
Speaker 20: adapt so incredibly quickly to the stresses and demands you

2317
01:56:32,667 --> 01:56:35,507
Speaker 20: put on them. If you give them enough time to adapt.

2318
01:56:36,267 --> 01:56:38,467
Speaker 20: Your body doesn't like being shocked.

2319
01:56:38,467 --> 01:56:40,947
Speaker 6: It doesn't like all of a sudden going from nothing

2320
01:56:41,547 --> 01:56:44,987
Speaker 6: to being bombarded with huge amounts of exercise and hard

2321
01:56:44,987 --> 01:56:48,427
Speaker 6: work all of a sudden. But you would be surprised

2322
01:56:49,107 --> 01:56:53,507
Speaker 6: at the tiniest of increments. Two sit ups, two pushups,

2323
01:56:53,507 --> 01:56:54,507
Speaker 6: three minute walk.

2324
01:56:55,067 --> 01:56:59,627
Speaker 20: Those things accumulate so quickly, And just imagine by March,

2325
01:57:00,267 --> 01:57:03,867
Speaker 20: for so many people starting from scratch. By March, you

2326
01:57:03,947 --> 01:57:06,907
Speaker 20: could realistically be walking thirty forty and it's a day

2327
01:57:06,947 --> 01:57:10,907
Speaker 20: easily doing ten or fifteen push ups and feeling fantastic

2328
01:57:11,547 --> 01:57:14,707
Speaker 20: because of the small steps that you took. Now, the

2329
01:57:14,747 --> 01:57:18,467
Speaker 20: final point on this one page is perhaps the most important,

2330
01:57:18,507 --> 01:57:21,227
Speaker 20: so much so that you've even given it a different color,

2331
01:57:21,507 --> 01:57:26,427
Speaker 20: And it says nothing changes, If nothing changes, least thinking less,

2332
01:57:26,467 --> 01:57:31,907
Speaker 20: talking more doing. Actions change the world, not intentions. So

2333
01:57:32,747 --> 01:57:34,987
Speaker 20: it's action, isn't it. We can talk all we like,

2334
01:57:35,147 --> 01:57:37,627
Speaker 20: we can we can think all we like. But it's

2335
01:57:37,667 --> 01:57:39,747
Speaker 20: the doing part of this, isn't it?

2336
01:57:39,947 --> 01:57:40,547
Speaker 2: That is key?

2337
01:57:40,707 --> 01:57:41,427
Speaker 4: Yeah?

2338
01:57:41,547 --> 01:57:44,107
Speaker 20: It is piney And look, I can share a quick

2339
01:57:44,147 --> 01:57:45,907
Speaker 20: personal story with everyone.

2340
01:57:46,067 --> 01:57:47,307
Speaker 6: Is that that? You know?

2341
01:57:47,347 --> 01:57:50,387
Speaker 20: I've got a bit of an online presence and you

2342
01:57:50,427 --> 01:57:52,227
Speaker 20: know I write through a lot of social media stuff

2343
01:57:52,227 --> 01:57:54,107
Speaker 20: and substacks and so on.

2344
01:57:54,707 --> 01:57:56,347
Speaker 6: And I was talking to a.

2345
01:57:56,267 --> 01:57:59,867
Speaker 20: Friend of mine who's really intermedia's she's done to just

2346
01:57:59,947 --> 01:58:03,547
Speaker 20: finished her degree in media and she's really into filmmaking

2347
01:58:03,587 --> 01:58:06,307
Speaker 20: and so on. And she said, Wayne, am I forgive

2348
01:58:06,427 --> 01:58:08,747
Speaker 20: you some advice? She said, every time I talk to

2349
01:58:08,787 --> 01:58:11,547
Speaker 20: you're talking about getting the latest technology or a new

2350
01:58:11,667 --> 01:58:13,187
Speaker 20: camera or the lighting.

2351
01:58:13,507 --> 01:58:15,107
Speaker 6: She said, you know, those things don't matter.

2352
01:58:15,507 --> 01:58:17,827
Speaker 20: People want to hear from you, and if you fluff

2353
01:58:17,867 --> 01:58:20,227
Speaker 20: a couple of lines, or if you make a mistake, or.

2354
01:58:22,187 --> 01:58:22,947
Speaker 6: If you make an.

2355
01:58:22,827 --> 01:58:25,787
Speaker 20: Era halfway through or your cough, I don't worry about

2356
01:58:25,827 --> 01:58:27,587
Speaker 20: it because people just.

2357
01:58:27,627 --> 01:58:30,467
Speaker 6: Want to hear you. You say something, and sheared this

2358
01:58:30,547 --> 01:58:31,467
Speaker 6: wonderful line, pint it.

2359
01:58:31,467 --> 01:58:33,627
Speaker 20: It's a great way. I think the wrapper up is.

2360
01:58:33,667 --> 01:58:36,587
Speaker 20: She said, Look, you don't have to be great to

2361
01:58:36,787 --> 01:58:40,987
Speaker 20: start that. You have to start to be great. And

2362
01:58:41,267 --> 01:58:44,187
Speaker 20: it's such a brilliant line, isn't it That she said,

2363
01:58:44,227 --> 01:58:47,987
Speaker 20: you're overly concerned with video angles and worry about how

2364
01:58:48,067 --> 01:58:50,467
Speaker 20: good your camera is and where. She said, just get

2365
01:58:50,507 --> 01:58:54,267
Speaker 20: on the bloody camera way and talk because people want

2366
01:58:54,267 --> 01:58:58,587
Speaker 20: to hear you and all your ugliness and mistake Nobody

2367
01:58:58,707 --> 01:59:00,707
Speaker 20: cares what your background is.

2368
01:59:00,747 --> 01:59:02,907
Speaker 6: They want to hear what you've got to say.

2369
01:59:02,947 --> 01:59:06,467
Speaker 20: So she said, if you want to be great, it's

2370
01:59:06,587 --> 01:59:09,907
Speaker 20: about being great to start. But you have to start.

2371
01:59:09,947 --> 01:59:12,267
Speaker 20: You've actually got to do something. You've got to start

2372
01:59:12,827 --> 01:59:15,067
Speaker 20: to become great. And that's my moto for you. That

2373
01:59:15,187 --> 01:59:17,747
