Controversial proposal which 90 00:04:59,627 --> 00:05:03,147 Speaker 2: would allow teams to replace a red carded player after 91 00:05:03,267 --> 00:05:06,947 Speaker 2: twenty minutes, has moved a step closer to global implementation. 92 00:05:07,147 --> 00:05:09,867 Speaker 2: World Rugby confirmed this week. It's one of several new 93 00:05:09,947 --> 00:05:12,387 Speaker 2: law amendments which have been trialed in some domestic and 94 00:05:12,507 --> 00:05:16,867 Speaker 2: international competitions, including our own, and it's been put forward 95 00:05:16,947 --> 00:05:20,587 Speaker 2: for use globally. Nigel Owens is one of the best 96 00:05:20,667 --> 00:05:23,547 Speaker 2: referees in international rugby history and joins us now to 97 00:05:23,627 --> 00:05:26,387 Speaker 2: discuss this. Nigel, thanks for your time across New Zealand. 98 00:05:26,707 --> 00:05:29,627 Speaker 2: What is your overall view first of all, on the 99 00:05:29,787 --> 00:05:34,467 Speaker 2: proposal to introduce a twenty minute red card to international rugby. 100 00:05:35,867 --> 00:05:37,787 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you have to take a step back 101 00:05:37,787 --> 00:05:40,707 Speaker 6: to SVON. I'm trying to understand why people are calling 102 00:05:40,787 --> 00:05:43,347 Speaker 6: for this, why it's been in place of the Rugby Championship, 103 00:05:43,867 --> 00:05:48,707 Speaker 6: and why it's coming into inter trial globally. And the 104 00:05:48,827 --> 00:05:51,787 Speaker 6: issue is, which is an understandable reason, is a lot 105 00:05:51,827 --> 00:05:54,587 Speaker 6: of people are getting frustrated with players being sent off 106 00:05:55,267 --> 00:05:56,827 Speaker 6: early on in the game, and then it feel that 107 00:05:56,907 --> 00:06:00,587 Speaker 6: the game is both when you have fourteen against fifteen 108 00:06:00,827 --> 00:06:04,867 Speaker 6: or thirteen against fourteen, RESI thirteen against fifteen. So that's 109 00:06:04,907 --> 00:06:07,947 Speaker 6: the reason why this has been bought. Now, the concerns 110 00:06:08,307 --> 00:06:11,627 Speaker 6: and the worry that I have is it's not going 111 00:06:11,747 --> 00:06:14,587 Speaker 6: to deal with the actual issues. And the actual issues 112 00:06:14,627 --> 00:06:17,827 Speaker 6: are the player safety. When we are still having a 113 00:06:17,987 --> 00:06:24,707 Speaker 6: lot of head collisions, We're still having players making up 114 00:06:24,787 --> 00:06:28,227 Speaker 6: right tackles, shoulder making contact with the head. We're still 115 00:06:28,307 --> 00:06:33,187 Speaker 6: having really reckless, dangerous playouts in the contact area we 116 00:06:33,347 --> 00:06:36,187 Speaker 6: still have in US. We haven't seen a change of 117 00:06:36,387 --> 00:06:39,547 Speaker 6: player behavior despite the red cards. Now, if you go 118 00:06:39,707 --> 00:06:41,987 Speaker 6: back quite a few years, you remember a lot of 119 00:06:42,067 --> 00:06:44,547 Speaker 6: issues with contact in the air. Then we have a 120 00:06:44,587 --> 00:06:47,627 Speaker 6: lot of issues with spear tackling, and then what happened. 121 00:06:47,787 --> 00:06:50,467 Speaker 6: The referees went hard. It was a red card and 122 00:06:50,627 --> 00:06:53,827 Speaker 6: we changed player behavior. But that hasn't happened this time, 123 00:06:54,387 --> 00:06:57,107 Speaker 6: and the issue is now we're still getting red cards, 124 00:06:57,707 --> 00:06:59,787 Speaker 6: and therefore a lot of people have been calling in 125 00:07:00,307 --> 00:07:02,307 Speaker 6: for a twenty minute red card so that it doesn't 126 00:07:02,307 --> 00:07:04,787 Speaker 6: spoil the game. Now, the issue that I have is this, 127 00:07:05,667 --> 00:07:09,227 Speaker 6: a red card in rugby should only be for an 128 00:07:09,307 --> 00:07:13,427 Speaker 6: act of total thuggery or total recklessness. And what I 129 00:07:13,507 --> 00:07:16,227 Speaker 6: mean by that is a player's defenses on the ground. 130 00:07:18,027 --> 00:07:21,867 Speaker 6: And then you got charging in shoulder first, head first, 131 00:07:21,907 --> 00:07:24,227 Speaker 6: split into the player. Contact with the head. This reckless, 132 00:07:24,347 --> 00:07:27,627 Speaker 6: it's really dangerous. You don't have any care whatsoever about 133 00:07:27,707 --> 00:07:30,747 Speaker 6: the player safety who you are charging into. That should 134 00:07:30,747 --> 00:07:34,507 Speaker 6: be a red card and then you should not be replaced. 135 00:07:35,387 --> 00:07:37,427 Speaker 6: The issue that I have then, and I think this 136 00:07:37,627 --> 00:07:40,467 Speaker 6: is the issue that they're not dealing with, is if 137 00:07:40,547 --> 00:07:43,467 Speaker 6: you have a player and we've seen it, who is 138 00:07:44,267 --> 00:07:48,027 Speaker 6: unluckily to be sent off it's accidental. The dynamics of 139 00:07:48,107 --> 00:07:51,067 Speaker 6: the game of change this last second and everything's gonna 140 00:07:51,787 --> 00:07:53,787 Speaker 6: that's a bit tough that's a bit harsh, then they 141 00:07:53,827 --> 00:07:55,947 Speaker 6: shouldn't be a red card. So what I feel they 142 00:07:55,947 --> 00:07:59,827 Speaker 6: should be doing is actually dealing with the issue itself, 143 00:08:00,587 --> 00:08:04,747 Speaker 6: act of thuggery active recklessness where you've got no concern 144 00:08:04,787 --> 00:08:07,467 Speaker 6: about the player safety and I'm sorry, a red card 145 00:08:07,547 --> 00:08:10,187 Speaker 6: you off and you stay off. And if then it's 146 00:08:11,107 --> 00:08:15,267 Speaker 6: an issue where it's it's carelessness, it's accidental. You try 147 00:08:15,347 --> 00:08:17,587 Speaker 6: to do everything right, but the movement of the game, 148 00:08:17,707 --> 00:08:21,107 Speaker 6: the players affect the thing in the last second, then 149 00:08:21,147 --> 00:08:23,827 Speaker 6: that shouldn't even be a red card. So what I 150 00:08:23,907 --> 00:08:26,747 Speaker 6: feel is happening is it's just papering over the cracks 151 00:08:27,147 --> 00:08:30,867 Speaker 6: to try and keep everybody happy. And in the long run, 152 00:08:31,267 --> 00:08:33,667 Speaker 6: you're not going to keep everybody happy because you're still 153 00:08:33,747 --> 00:08:36,467 Speaker 6: going to see these red cards with that, which are harsh, 154 00:08:37,267 --> 00:08:38,787 Speaker 6: and you're also then going to see a lot of 155 00:08:38,827 --> 00:08:40,987 Speaker 6: people and there's a lot of concern about then we 156 00:08:41,147 --> 00:08:44,347 Speaker 6: are not then being strong enough with the deterrent to 157 00:08:44,627 --> 00:08:49,627 Speaker 6: change players behavior and getting rid of this needless, dangerous, 158 00:08:49,747 --> 00:08:54,187 Speaker 6: reckless high tackles or up right tackles or clear out. 159 00:08:54,347 --> 00:08:57,547 Speaker 6: So this is understandable why people are calling for it, 160 00:08:58,427 --> 00:09:01,467 Speaker 6: but my concern is they're not actually dealing with the 161 00:09:01,587 --> 00:09:03,747 Speaker 6: co issue itself. And that's why I'm not a big 162 00:09:03,827 --> 00:09:06,547 Speaker 6: fan of the twenty minute red card. I'd rather see 163 00:09:06,627 --> 00:09:10,507 Speaker 6: them bring it in a red card for total recklessness, 164 00:09:10,627 --> 00:09:14,027 Speaker 6: total fabruary. If anything is accidentally or unlucky, then it 165 00:09:14,067 --> 00:09:16,507 Speaker 6: shouldn't be a red card in the first place, and 166 00:09:16,707 --> 00:09:20,027 Speaker 6: then we will look after the player safety. And people 167 00:09:20,067 --> 00:09:22,387 Speaker 6: who are sent off are sent off because they totally 168 00:09:22,427 --> 00:09:24,707 Speaker 6: deserve to be sent off and not because of an 169 00:09:24,707 --> 00:09:26,227 Speaker 6: accidental dynamic of the game. 170 00:09:26,547 --> 00:09:30,107 Speaker 2: That is just such absolute common sceense. No, your absolute 171 00:09:30,187 --> 00:09:33,627 Speaker 2: common scenes. Do you think anybody's listening at World Rugby, 172 00:09:33,667 --> 00:09:37,027 Speaker 2: because surely a red card can't be seen as harsh 173 00:09:37,587 --> 00:09:38,187 Speaker 2: or unlucky. 174 00:09:39,867 --> 00:09:41,547 Speaker 6: No, it shouldn't be that. That's not what I mean. 175 00:09:41,587 --> 00:09:43,907 Speaker 6: You know, a red card is your head by somebody, 176 00:09:43,947 --> 00:09:46,667 Speaker 6: you punch somebody from behind, you kick somebody ahead on 177 00:09:46,707 --> 00:09:49,347 Speaker 6: the floor. That's what a red card should be. Or 178 00:09:49,627 --> 00:09:52,747 Speaker 6: as I said, you're going up, you charging in upright 179 00:09:53,107 --> 00:09:56,267 Speaker 6: with a forearms, swinging into somebody's head, or leading with 180 00:09:56,347 --> 00:09:59,347 Speaker 6: a shoulder into an upright tackle or a clearout, which 181 00:09:59,387 --> 00:10:02,067 Speaker 6: is total recklessness. That's what a red card should be. 182 00:10:02,427 --> 00:10:04,467 Speaker 6: And when you're looking at incidents, and we've seen them 183 00:10:04,507 --> 00:10:06,987 Speaker 6: over the last few years where you' or that's a 184 00:10:07,067 --> 00:10:09,907 Speaker 6: bit unlucky. Yes, he was upright, but he was trying 185 00:10:09,987 --> 00:10:12,027 Speaker 6: to make And just remember the issue. 186 00:10:11,827 --> 00:10:12,387 Speaker 7: With this as well. 187 00:10:12,467 --> 00:10:16,507 Speaker 6: You see, upright tackers are not illegal if you go 188 00:10:16,627 --> 00:10:19,027 Speaker 6: in and upright tackers somebody. So what you tend to 189 00:10:19,107 --> 00:10:21,187 Speaker 6: have now the game has changed. One player will go low, 190 00:10:21,467 --> 00:10:23,667 Speaker 6: the other player will go high to try and prevent 191 00:10:23,947 --> 00:10:26,987 Speaker 6: an offload or rip the ball or wrap the arms. 192 00:10:27,067 --> 00:10:30,747 Speaker 6: We can't offload another player. That action is not illegal. 193 00:10:31,067 --> 00:10:33,987 Speaker 6: There's nothing illegal in that. It only becomes an offense 194 00:10:34,627 --> 00:10:37,227 Speaker 6: if you get it wrong and you make contact with 195 00:10:37,307 --> 00:10:40,827 Speaker 6: a player's head illegally. So what they're trying to do, 196 00:10:40,947 --> 00:10:44,507 Speaker 6: they're trying to get players to change behavior without actually 197 00:10:44,667 --> 00:10:47,227 Speaker 6: nothing in law to say you have to do it. 198 00:10:47,347 --> 00:10:50,387 Speaker 6: And this is when we are landing up then with 199 00:10:50,707 --> 00:10:55,227 Speaker 6: harsh red cards. We seen County in the World Cup. 200 00:10:55,387 --> 00:10:58,787 Speaker 6: Some of them were totally deserved, others were, oh god, 201 00:10:58,827 --> 00:11:01,747 Speaker 6: this is a bit harsh. This is unlucky. For that reason, 202 00:11:01,827 --> 00:11:03,747 Speaker 6: it shouldn't be a red card in the first place. 203 00:11:03,827 --> 00:11:06,947 Speaker 6: And so that's what I'm my concern is, we're not 204 00:11:07,107 --> 00:11:09,867 Speaker 6: dealing with the actual issues here, and that's what I'd 205 00:11:09,907 --> 00:11:10,507 Speaker 6: like to see them do. 206 00:11:11,307 --> 00:11:14,427 Speaker 2: So, while the red red card threshold is where it is, 207 00:11:14,627 --> 00:11:19,107 Speaker 2: while the rules are as they are written, isn't the 208 00:11:19,187 --> 00:11:21,947 Speaker 2: twenty minute red card in some ways a good idea 209 00:11:22,147 --> 00:11:26,267 Speaker 2: to give redrace to a harsh or unlucky dismissal. 210 00:11:28,387 --> 00:11:30,787 Speaker 6: Well, that is a fair point in what you say 211 00:11:31,307 --> 00:11:35,507 Speaker 6: in that, But then I don't think it's it's not 212 00:11:35,587 --> 00:11:37,907 Speaker 6: a prevention, it's not a deterrent. And then if you 213 00:11:38,027 --> 00:11:40,027 Speaker 6: look at look at some of me being sent off 214 00:11:40,067 --> 00:11:42,907 Speaker 6: and then for twenty minutes and being replaced, so that 215 00:11:43,027 --> 00:11:46,067 Speaker 6: team they're unlucky to get somebody is sent off. I 216 00:11:46,107 --> 00:11:47,827 Speaker 6: suppose an example, you could look at Sam Kaine in 217 00:11:47,867 --> 00:11:50,667 Speaker 6: the World Cup final for me, a very unlucky player 218 00:11:50,707 --> 00:11:54,987 Speaker 6: to be sent off, So you have an unlucky red card. Okay, 219 00:11:55,307 --> 00:11:57,067 Speaker 6: for all of the guidelines, the guidance tell you you 220 00:11:57,267 --> 00:11:59,027 Speaker 6: may well land up with the red card. It's a 221 00:11:59,107 --> 00:12:02,667 Speaker 6: harsh it's an unlucky one. Then compare that, or it 222 00:12:02,747 --> 00:12:05,067 Speaker 6: doesn't have to do that. Don't compare that type of 223 00:12:05,267 --> 00:12:08,707 Speaker 6: red card, which we call an unlucky harsh one. Compare 224 00:12:08,787 --> 00:12:13,347 Speaker 6: that then with a total act of thuggery or a 225 00:12:13,467 --> 00:12:16,787 Speaker 6: total lack of recklessness where you went flying into that 226 00:12:17,267 --> 00:12:20,667 Speaker 6: into that ruck, leading with a shouler straight into player's head. 227 00:12:20,987 --> 00:12:25,107 Speaker 6: It's a red card. You're off. Yet both are treated 228 00:12:25,187 --> 00:12:27,387 Speaker 6: the same, and it shouldn't be the case. So both 229 00:12:27,467 --> 00:12:30,267 Speaker 6: teams now back up to fifteen men where one of 230 00:12:30,307 --> 00:12:35,467 Speaker 6: them was accidental unlucky, the other one was totally deserved 231 00:12:35,467 --> 00:12:38,347 Speaker 6: to go. Nobody in the world is complaining, yet they're 232 00:12:38,387 --> 00:12:41,587 Speaker 6: back to to fifteen men. Such a me that that 233 00:12:41,867 --> 00:12:44,627 Speaker 6: is that is not right. So we need to look 234 00:12:44,707 --> 00:12:48,627 Speaker 6: at exactly what a red card should be and if 235 00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:52,587 Speaker 6: there's any case of oh this is you know, this 236 00:12:52,787 --> 00:12:55,267 Speaker 6: is just unlucky and it shouldn't be a red card. 237 00:12:55,347 --> 00:12:57,507 Speaker 6: You know the fact you get sent off. Because if 238 00:12:57,547 --> 00:13:00,387 Speaker 6: you're sent off now for charging into ruck and catching 239 00:13:00,427 --> 00:13:02,587 Speaker 6: play in the head, and then all of a sudden 240 00:13:03,507 --> 00:13:06,147 Speaker 6: you plead guilty, they say I'm sorry and I was guilty. 241 00:13:06,587 --> 00:13:10,067 Speaker 6: Reduce the sanction by two weeks. And then you do 242 00:13:10,147 --> 00:13:12,587 Speaker 6: at tackle school tias your tackle, which you've been taught 243 00:13:12,627 --> 00:13:15,427 Speaker 6: attacked since you were ten years of age. You go 244 00:13:15,547 --> 00:13:17,747 Speaker 6: to attackle school, reduce it by another week, and all 245 00:13:17,747 --> 00:13:19,907 Speaker 6: of a sudden you're down to two or three weeks. 246 00:13:20,267 --> 00:13:23,747 Speaker 6: If you get sent off for that total act of recklessness, 247 00:13:24,587 --> 00:13:26,867 Speaker 6: you should be getting six or eight weeks. And there 248 00:13:26,867 --> 00:13:29,307 Speaker 6: shouldn't be nothing of it, because that's the only way 249 00:13:29,947 --> 00:13:33,707 Speaker 6: that player will learn, or that's the only way we're 250 00:13:33,747 --> 00:13:35,947 Speaker 6: going to enforce the player behavior. So there's a lot 251 00:13:36,027 --> 00:13:38,267 Speaker 6: of other things I think we can do to deal 252 00:13:38,347 --> 00:13:41,467 Speaker 6: with the situation in rather than just picking over the 253 00:13:41,587 --> 00:13:43,987 Speaker 6: cracks with this twenty minute red card. 254 00:13:44,747 --> 00:13:47,827 Speaker 2: In your experience, nogel, does a game between a team 255 00:13:47,907 --> 00:13:51,907 Speaker 2: with fifteen and a team with fourteen automatically become a 256 00:13:51,987 --> 00:13:53,227 Speaker 2: reduced spectacle? 257 00:13:54,547 --> 00:13:54,867 Speaker 5: I don't. 258 00:13:54,907 --> 00:13:56,867 Speaker 6: I don't think so, not all the time. A lot 259 00:13:56,907 --> 00:13:59,467 Speaker 6: of times it does do, because if you're playing against 260 00:14:00,187 --> 00:14:03,067 Speaker 6: you fifteen men, then you're down to fourteen and you're 261 00:14:03,147 --> 00:14:05,387 Speaker 6: of equal ability as a side, and that's a result 262 00:14:05,427 --> 00:14:07,467 Speaker 6: could have gone either way. Then it is going to 263 00:14:07,507 --> 00:14:09,707 Speaker 6: be of an advantage. It doesn't work allway. We still 264 00:14:09,747 --> 00:14:12,067 Speaker 6: have some great games. You go back to the two 265 00:14:12,107 --> 00:14:13,987 Speaker 6: thousand eleven World Cup. I was sitting next total a 266 00:14:14,027 --> 00:14:16,867 Speaker 6: good friend of mine, Bryce Lauren, was watching Wales France 267 00:14:16,987 --> 00:14:19,587 Speaker 6: where Sam Warburton got sent off in that and I 268 00:14:19,787 --> 00:14:21,787 Speaker 6: have it done. May because of welshman. I have no 269 00:14:21,907 --> 00:14:25,107 Speaker 6: doubt that contributed to you know, Wales losing a semi 270 00:14:25,147 --> 00:14:27,587 Speaker 6: final where they could have won it anyway, but it 271 00:14:27,707 --> 00:14:30,667 Speaker 6: did made things much more difficult. So on the most 272 00:14:31,427 --> 00:14:34,307 Speaker 6: when you were down to fourteen men, particularly for a 273 00:14:34,347 --> 00:14:39,227 Speaker 6: period of maybe sixty five seventy seventy minutes fifty minutes, 274 00:14:39,547 --> 00:14:42,787 Speaker 6: then I think it does take its toll. Not always, 275 00:14:43,187 --> 00:14:46,507 Speaker 6: but on occasions it does. And on occasions we've seen 276 00:14:46,547 --> 00:14:48,507 Speaker 6: greats game of rugby on a side of fourteen men 277 00:14:48,587 --> 00:14:51,027 Speaker 6: actually winning, but I think they are more of a 278 00:14:51,107 --> 00:14:54,267 Speaker 6: case of occasionally rather than than they often. So I 279 00:14:54,387 --> 00:14:56,827 Speaker 6: think there is I think you know, down to forty men, 280 00:14:56,907 --> 00:14:59,027 Speaker 6: I think there's effect sort of. It may affect your 281 00:14:59,027 --> 00:15:01,027 Speaker 6: tactics as well. You may become now a bit more 282 00:15:01,547 --> 00:15:03,067 Speaker 6: if you're in the lead, you're going to become maybe 283 00:15:03,107 --> 00:15:05,187 Speaker 6: a bit more defensive. You're not going to risk any things, 284 00:15:05,187 --> 00:15:06,507 Speaker 6: You're going to hold on to the lead. So it 285 00:15:06,547 --> 00:15:09,027 Speaker 6: can it can change the style of dynamics of the 286 00:15:09,107 --> 00:15:11,387 Speaker 6: game as well, which makes it much more difficult and 287 00:15:11,387 --> 00:15:14,267 Speaker 6: which can take away from the spectacle. But we also 288 00:15:14,347 --> 00:15:16,467 Speaker 6: have seen game with players sent off which have been 289 00:15:16,467 --> 00:15:18,987 Speaker 6: great games of rugby as well, But on the most 290 00:15:19,347 --> 00:15:20,987 Speaker 6: I think it does disadvantage of couse. 291 00:15:21,027 --> 00:15:24,267 Speaker 2: Its just to finish, Nodule. The common scenes that you've 292 00:15:24,347 --> 00:15:26,467 Speaker 2: talked is, you know, in the last ten minutes is 293 00:15:27,387 --> 00:15:30,347 Speaker 2: absolute common scenes. Is anybody at World Rugby listening. 294 00:15:32,987 --> 00:15:33,307 Speaker 8: I don't know. 295 00:15:33,387 --> 00:15:35,547 Speaker 6: I'm not the only I do some work for World Rugby, 296 00:15:35,587 --> 00:15:38,267 Speaker 6: and I think majority of people in World Rugby they 297 00:15:38,347 --> 00:15:40,467 Speaker 6: do a good job, you know, on the most with 298 00:15:40,547 --> 00:15:43,707 Speaker 6: the game to look at globally, you have different countries, 299 00:15:43,747 --> 00:15:47,187 Speaker 6: different dynamics from all over the world coming together. It's 300 00:15:47,227 --> 00:15:49,547 Speaker 6: not an easy job and the most they do a 301 00:15:49,667 --> 00:15:52,267 Speaker 6: very decent, decent job. But I'm not involved in I 302 00:15:52,427 --> 00:15:54,387 Speaker 6: was not involved in this process. I'm not involved in 303 00:15:54,747 --> 00:15:57,587 Speaker 6: in the process of law changing or making at all. 304 00:15:57,667 --> 00:15:59,627 Speaker 6: But there are good people who are involved in that process. 305 00:15:59,787 --> 00:16:01,987 Speaker 6: But but I'm not. I'm a part of that of 306 00:16:02,107 --> 00:16:03,027 Speaker 6: that process now or not? 307 00:16:03,307 --> 00:16:06,267 Speaker 2: All right, Nogela, it's been really instructive listening to your chat. 308 00:16:06,347 --> 00:16:08,067 Speaker 2: Thanks for taking our call. We really appreciate it. 309 00:16:08,347 --> 00:16:09,107 Speaker 6: Yeah, my pleasure. 310 00:16:09,267 --> 00:16:10,947 Speaker 2: On the best, all the best to you too, Nigel. 311 00:16:11,107 --> 00:16:15,787 Speaker 2: There you go, Nigel Lowns with eleven minutes of absolute 312 00:16:15,827 --> 00:16:19,547 Speaker 2: common sense. Imagine if Nigel Owens was sitting around whatever 313 00:16:19,667 --> 00:16:24,187 Speaker 2: table it was when they decided about the you know 314 00:16:24,707 --> 00:16:28,707 Speaker 2: what the red card threshold would be. I'm alway certain 315 00:16:28,747 --> 00:16:30,147 Speaker 2: you've got a view on this O eight hundred and 316 00:16:30,187 --> 00:16:32,307 Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty anything you want to pick up on there, 317 00:16:32,347 --> 00:16:36,547 Speaker 2: because here is the problem. In their quest to protect 318 00:16:36,627 --> 00:16:38,587 Speaker 2: the head, which by the way, is the right thing 319 00:16:38,667 --> 00:16:43,307 Speaker 2: to do. World Rugby have simply gone too low with 320 00:16:43,467 --> 00:16:47,467 Speaker 2: their red card threshold. They've tried to change behavior and 321 00:16:47,507 --> 00:16:51,067 Speaker 2: tackle technique by making the consequences of not getting it 322 00:16:51,227 --> 00:16:53,787 Speaker 2: right more severe i e. A red card, And as 323 00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:57,827 Speaker 2: Nigel Owens has pointed out, player behavior hasn't really changed, 324 00:16:58,227 --> 00:17:00,947 Speaker 2: because how can you change being in the wrong place 325 00:17:01,027 --> 00:17:04,627 Speaker 2: by accident? And our red cards are being given out 326 00:17:04,627 --> 00:17:08,507 Speaker 2: when they shouldn't be. We've all said it, and we're 327 00:17:08,547 --> 00:17:11,107 Speaker 2: now at the point where a red card in rugby 328 00:17:11,667 --> 00:17:17,387 Speaker 2: can be described as harsh or unfair or unlucky. That 329 00:17:17,547 --> 00:17:21,147 Speaker 2: should never ever happen. If someone is sent off, there 330 00:17:21,227 --> 00:17:24,787 Speaker 2: should be very little in the way of dispute about it. 331 00:17:24,907 --> 00:17:28,027 Speaker 2: It should be clear and obvious, and nobody, not a 332 00:17:28,147 --> 00:17:33,347 Speaker 2: single person, is suggesting that if a player commits serious 333 00:17:33,467 --> 00:17:36,067 Speaker 2: foul play on the rugby field and is given a 334 00:17:36,147 --> 00:17:38,987 Speaker 2: red card, that he should be able to be replaced. 335 00:17:40,187 --> 00:17:44,187 Speaker 2: I'm talking outright thuggery or recklessness, as Nigerlowen's caught it there. 336 00:17:44,347 --> 00:17:46,827 Speaker 2: If someone does that, their team should suffer. The consequences 337 00:17:46,907 --> 00:17:52,067 Speaker 2: go down to fourteen and stay at fourteen. But if 338 00:17:52,067 --> 00:17:54,467 Speaker 2: a player makes head on head contact by accident or 339 00:17:54,507 --> 00:17:57,267 Speaker 2: by circumstance, well, first of all, it shouldn't be a 340 00:17:57,307 --> 00:18:00,587 Speaker 2: red card, simple as that. Nigeloones even said that Sam 341 00:18:00,707 --> 00:18:03,547 Speaker 2: Kaine's red card and the Rugby World Cup final last 342 00:18:03,627 --> 00:18:07,627 Speaker 2: year was harsh and unlucky. The red card threshold's in 343 00:18:07,627 --> 00:18:12,467 Speaker 2: the wrong place. But until that gets changed, which will 344 00:18:12,507 --> 00:18:16,187 Speaker 2: take ages. And while the rules are what they are, 345 00:18:17,107 --> 00:18:20,747 Speaker 2: you have to have a twenty minute red card. If 346 00:18:20,787 --> 00:18:23,027 Speaker 2: a bloke sent off of something beyond his control or 347 00:18:23,067 --> 00:18:26,027 Speaker 2: because of the low threshold for red cards, he needs 348 00:18:26,107 --> 00:18:30,187 Speaker 2: to be able to be replaced. Because, as we've said 349 00:18:30,347 --> 00:18:34,107 Speaker 2: so many times, in these days of battling for engagement 350 00:18:34,187 --> 00:18:38,627 Speaker 2: and battling for eyeballs, a lopsided contest just will not 351 00:18:38,787 --> 00:18:45,307 Speaker 2: cut it. Fans will say, nap, not interested, not interested 352 00:18:45,387 --> 00:18:48,427 Speaker 2: in that. I don't want to watch a lopsided contest 353 00:18:48,827 --> 00:18:51,987 Speaker 2: simply because the red card threshold is in the wrong place. 354 00:18:52,987 --> 00:18:55,307 Speaker 2: Begin for your views.

Do the 377 00:19:57,267 --> 00:19:59,387 Speaker 2: whole street, mate, do the whole street, and then we 378 00:19:59,467 --> 00:20:00,427 Speaker 2: can always have a chat. 379 00:20:01,187 --> 00:20:02,147 Speaker 11: Hey, Elma, I was. 380 00:20:02,147 --> 00:20:04,547 Speaker 10: Actually I've got a whole heap of respect to Nigel 381 00:20:04,627 --> 00:20:07,147 Speaker 10: Arms and got a fantastic free he was, But I 382 00:20:07,267 --> 00:20:10,707 Speaker 10: was actually kind of slightly confused by his comments. And 383 00:20:10,827 --> 00:20:14,547 Speaker 10: I've got the sense from his overall sentiment to you 384 00:20:14,667 --> 00:20:17,227 Speaker 10: that he wasn't a fan of the twenty minute red card. 385 00:20:17,467 --> 00:20:19,827 Speaker 10: And I kind of do find that interesting because as 386 00:20:19,867 --> 00:20:23,147 Speaker 10: much as you can talk in that form about a 387 00:20:23,227 --> 00:20:25,747 Speaker 10: common sense approach, sometimes that doesn't play out on the field. 388 00:20:25,787 --> 00:20:28,307 Speaker 10: And you know, you could argue either way around where 389 00:20:28,307 --> 00:20:30,667 Speaker 10: the common sense would have applied in Sam kain situation. 390 00:20:30,867 --> 00:20:34,307 Speaker 10: The reality is, you know, what constitutes a red card 391 00:20:34,507 --> 00:20:38,307 Speaker 10: today is completely different from twenty years ago. For good reason. 392 00:20:38,387 --> 00:20:40,147 Speaker 10: They've learned more about the head knocks and they're trying 393 00:20:40,187 --> 00:20:42,467 Speaker 10: to get that part out of the game. But to 394 00:20:42,507 --> 00:20:45,267 Speaker 10: sort of say a team is not disadvantage by going 395 00:20:45,347 --> 00:20:47,627 Speaker 10: twenty minutes without a player and that player not being 396 00:20:47,667 --> 00:20:50,627 Speaker 10: able to come on as is not quite right. Not 397 00:20:50,707 --> 00:20:52,427 Speaker 10: that Nigel was saying that. But you know, if you 398 00:20:52,507 --> 00:20:54,627 Speaker 10: took our World Cup finals seem came being off in 399 00:20:54,667 --> 00:20:57,227 Speaker 10: the twentieth minute, not being able to come on facing 400 00:20:57,267 --> 00:21:00,747 Speaker 10: a lengthy suspension is really detrimental to the team. You know, 401 00:21:01,347 --> 00:21:03,427 Speaker 10: we talked about bond squads for the last few weeks 402 00:21:03,467 --> 00:21:05,507 Speaker 10: and how important they are. You've got to now bring 403 00:21:05,667 --> 00:21:08,307 Speaker 10: dogson on Earth. It messes with you've been to everything 404 00:21:08,427 --> 00:21:11,627 Speaker 10: like the Orblex was still going to be severely disadvantaged 405 00:21:11,627 --> 00:21:14,267 Speaker 10: in the World Cup playing twenty minutes without a player 406 00:21:15,827 --> 00:21:17,387 Speaker 10: in that guy not being able to come back horn 407 00:21:17,427 --> 00:21:19,547 Speaker 10: And I just think I think it's a no brainer 408 00:21:19,587 --> 00:21:22,667 Speaker 10: to put the twenty minute rule in and go harder 409 00:21:22,747 --> 00:21:25,947 Speaker 10: on the suspension in try and encourage you know, players 410 00:21:26,027 --> 00:21:29,427 Speaker 10: not to do that that way, because they will not 411 00:21:29,547 --> 00:21:31,707 Speaker 10: go for it if they're facing the six week suspension 412 00:21:31,747 --> 00:21:32,507 Speaker 10: off the sidelines. 413 00:21:32,907 --> 00:21:34,987 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the main guts of what Nigel Owen's 414 00:21:34,987 --> 00:21:37,867 Speaker 2: was saying was that he was basically saying the red 415 00:21:37,907 --> 00:21:40,587 Speaker 2: card threshold or what a red card is given out 416 00:21:40,587 --> 00:21:43,107 Speaker 2: for at the moment, is wrong. And and as I 417 00:21:43,227 --> 00:21:45,187 Speaker 2: asked him, you know, while it is where it is, 418 00:21:45,427 --> 00:21:47,107 Speaker 2: isn't there a case for the twenty minute red card, 419 00:21:47,147 --> 00:21:49,307 Speaker 2: which I think is what you know was what you're saying. 420 00:21:49,347 --> 00:21:52,107 Speaker 2: What I'm saying is that if you know, if a 421 00:21:52,147 --> 00:21:56,627 Speaker 2: red card's harsh or unlucky or unfair, then surely it 422 00:21:56,787 --> 00:21:59,547 Speaker 2: needs to be able to be made up. You know, 423 00:21:59,627 --> 00:22:01,987 Speaker 2: it needs to you need to have the twenty minutes when, 424 00:22:02,947 --> 00:22:04,547 Speaker 2: like I say, if someone comes in a smash in 425 00:22:04,587 --> 00:22:06,747 Speaker 2: their head from the side of a run, that's a 426 00:22:06,867 --> 00:22:09,667 Speaker 2: red card. That's staggery. That's very different. And whether we 427 00:22:09,747 --> 00:22:11,467 Speaker 2: need to have a fruit salad of cards or read 428 00:22:11,467 --> 00:22:14,987 Speaker 2: to yellow and orange, I don't know. But yeah, my 429 00:22:15,187 --> 00:22:17,587 Speaker 2: view is that when the rules are as they are 430 00:22:17,627 --> 00:22:20,667 Speaker 2: at the moment, then there needs to be a twenty 431 00:22:20,707 --> 00:22:22,667 Speaker 2: minute red card because somebody can get a red card 432 00:22:22,947 --> 00:22:24,827 Speaker 2: which is unfair or hush. 433 00:22:25,907 --> 00:22:27,987 Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly if it's a nector figure, if it's a 434 00:22:28,067 --> 00:22:30,667 Speaker 10: punch or a kick or a stamp or or as 435 00:22:30,707 --> 00:22:36,427 Speaker 10: you say, something a reckless shoulder, maybe that yeah, hey, 436 00:22:36,507 --> 00:22:38,347 Speaker 10: call it a blue card, recud whatever you want. But 437 00:22:38,747 --> 00:22:41,147 Speaker 10: it's almost like there should be a blanket, you know, 438 00:22:41,187 --> 00:22:44,147 Speaker 10: a red card head related red card, and that's subject 439 00:22:44,187 --> 00:22:47,827 Speaker 10: to a twenty minute stand there because it is a 440 00:22:47,907 --> 00:22:50,507 Speaker 10: mess of store, a massive disadvantage to a team losing 441 00:22:50,547 --> 00:22:53,147 Speaker 10: a player for the for the whole match, and you 442 00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:56,667 Speaker 10: know how that disrupts the strategy around and pick, bringing 443 00:22:56,707 --> 00:22:58,747 Speaker 10: the bench onto the field and and everything like that. 444 00:22:59,347 --> 00:23:02,107 Speaker 10: And as I sort of go to before, if you 445 00:23:02,227 --> 00:23:04,227 Speaker 10: sort of say that person's going to be up for 446 00:23:04,347 --> 00:23:07,347 Speaker 10: judiciary and facing a lengthy band, that's going to put 447 00:23:07,787 --> 00:23:09,347 Speaker 10: you know, it's going to be a main motivator for 448 00:23:09,467 --> 00:23:12,187 Speaker 10: that particular player who's got contracts to worry about and 449 00:23:12,507 --> 00:23:15,027 Speaker 10: spots on the team to not want to put their 450 00:23:15,067 --> 00:23:16,107 Speaker 10: team under that situation. 451 00:23:16,587 --> 00:23:16,747 Speaker 7: Yeah. 452 00:23:16,827 --> 00:23:19,107 Speaker 2: Correct, Because Sam came was sent off for half an 453 00:23:19,107 --> 00:23:20,827 Speaker 2: hour into the World Cup final, wasn't they So say, 454 00:23:20,907 --> 00:23:22,547 Speaker 2: let's say it was thirty minutes. I thinks about thirty minutes. 455 00:23:22,707 --> 00:23:24,627 Speaker 2: So that would mean that if there was a twenty 456 00:23:24,667 --> 00:23:27,427 Speaker 2: minute red card ten minutes into the second half, New 457 00:23:27,547 --> 00:23:29,787 Speaker 2: Zealand would have been back to fifteen. Yes, I hear 458 00:23:29,827 --> 00:23:31,427 Speaker 2: what you're saying about the bench being messed up and 459 00:23:31,427 --> 00:23:33,107 Speaker 2: all that sort of thing, but at least it would 460 00:23:33,147 --> 00:23:36,147 Speaker 2: have been numerically even in that case, it wasn't. And 461 00:23:36,267 --> 00:23:38,187 Speaker 2: look New Zealand only lost by one point and we 462 00:23:38,187 --> 00:23:39,907 Speaker 2: don't know what would happen if they had fifteen plars 463 00:23:39,987 --> 00:23:43,587 Speaker 2: on the field. But yeah, a twenty minute red card 464 00:23:43,627 --> 00:23:46,547 Speaker 2: would certainly have helped New Zealand in that case, in 465 00:23:46,707 --> 00:23:49,787 Speaker 2: the case where Sam Kaine's red card was harsh. 466 00:23:51,707 --> 00:23:54,387 Speaker 10: Exactly, and you actually end up putting the refs under 467 00:23:54,467 --> 00:23:57,747 Speaker 10: quite a compromise position. You know, they're sort of standing 468 00:23:57,867 --> 00:23:59,307 Speaker 10: in the barrel of you know, am I going to 469 00:23:59,387 --> 00:24:03,027 Speaker 10: make this call on this occasion on the world stage. 470 00:24:03,147 --> 00:24:07,067 Speaker 10: They shouldn't really be in that position. They Ayconner should 471 00:24:07,067 --> 00:24:08,747 Speaker 10: be able to look at it in the lens of 472 00:24:09,987 --> 00:24:13,067 Speaker 10: I don't know, player safety and welfare and know that 473 00:24:13,187 --> 00:24:15,987 Speaker 10: they're not about to make a call that's potentially going to, 474 00:24:16,867 --> 00:24:19,347 Speaker 10: you know, really impact the final, which is possibly going 475 00:24:19,387 --> 00:24:22,027 Speaker 10: through the hidden when it was twenty minutes into a 476 00:24:22,587 --> 00:24:24,707 Speaker 10: World Cup final or I think the semi final before 477 00:24:24,707 --> 00:24:26,107 Speaker 10: when it was earlier on in the game. 478 00:24:26,907 --> 00:24:29,667 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm sure George that would they would say, oh, 479 00:24:29,707 --> 00:24:31,467 Speaker 2: we just look at an isolation, whether it's a pull 480 00:24:31,547 --> 00:24:33,867 Speaker 2: match between the All Blacks and Uruguay, whether it's a 481 00:24:33,867 --> 00:24:35,947 Speaker 2: World Cup final, we still just look at the facts. 482 00:24:35,987 --> 00:24:37,667 Speaker 2: But yeah, it can't help a plan in their mind 483 00:24:37,947 --> 00:24:39,827 Speaker 2: when it's such a big game. Great to chat mate, 484 00:24:40,427 --> 00:24:42,827 Speaker 2: get that paintbrush back in your hand, but cool back 485 00:24:42,867 --> 00:24:45,947 Speaker 2: any type good to chat to ye. Lots of texts 486 00:24:45,947 --> 00:24:48,427 Speaker 2: coming through, so good from Nigel says Mike should be 487 00:24:48,507 --> 00:24:51,347 Speaker 2: like the NRL, unless it's blatant foul play, it's a 488 00:24:51,427 --> 00:24:54,427 Speaker 2: yellow card and then cite them forward judiciary afterwards. I 489 00:24:54,547 --> 00:24:58,267 Speaker 2: think that makes absolute sense, doesn't it, you know, putting 490 00:24:58,307 --> 00:25:05,987 Speaker 2: someone on report or you know, or whatever it might be. Thuggery, recklessness, 491 00:25:06,387 --> 00:25:10,427 Speaker 2: absolute serious foul play, red card. Okay, nobody disagrees with that, 492 00:25:11,947 --> 00:25:14,147 Speaker 2: but we're at the situation now in rugby with the 493 00:25:14,267 --> 00:25:17,067 Speaker 2: rules being tweaked and the focus on head to head 494 00:25:17,147 --> 00:25:22,387 Speaker 2: contact where harsh and unfair and unlucky red cards can 495 00:25:22,427 --> 00:25:27,747 Speaker 2: be handed out, and that's just simply not good. It's 496 00:25:27,827 --> 00:25:31,307 Speaker 2: not logical. There needs to be I don't know whether 497 00:25:31,387 --> 00:25:35,067 Speaker 2: we go back to, you know, red cards only being 498 00:25:35,107 --> 00:25:38,827 Speaker 2: for the ready serious foul play and head to contact 499 00:25:38,907 --> 00:25:41,827 Speaker 2: is yellow whatever it is, or there's orange cards, which 500 00:25:41,867 --> 00:25:44,027 Speaker 2: are you a card where yes, okay, you're sent off, 501 00:25:44,547 --> 00:25:47,587 Speaker 2: but with an orange card you can be replaced. So 502 00:25:47,707 --> 00:25:54,667 Speaker 2: something in between red card, absolute thuggery, orange card. You know, 503 00:25:54,987 --> 00:25:58,947 Speaker 2: by the letter of the law you're off. But accidental, harsh, unfair. 504 00:25:59,107 --> 00:26:01,387 Speaker 2: You can be replaced yellow card as it always is 505 00:26:01,627 --> 00:26:02,387 Speaker 2: ten minutes in the bin. 506 00:26:02,787 --> 00:26:07,347 Speaker 12: Hey, Tony, you know I have slightly doing this Spig 507 00:26:07,387 --> 00:26:10,187 Speaker 12: the right supportment Mindy alone was saying about it. I agree, 508 00:26:10,227 --> 00:26:13,147 Speaker 12: But the part I've never agreed with is if a 509 00:26:13,307 --> 00:26:18,187 Speaker 12: plague it's too yellow cards is automatically sent off. Now 510 00:26:18,347 --> 00:26:20,427 Speaker 12: you're going to have situations where they get a yellow 511 00:26:20,587 --> 00:26:23,227 Speaker 12: card or their a lenchip, knocking a ball down when 512 00:26:23,227 --> 00:26:25,907 Speaker 12: they're trying to do an intercept or maybe stopping at 513 00:26:25,947 --> 00:26:30,227 Speaker 12: Troy or something like that. And my opinion is that 514 00:26:30,427 --> 00:26:33,347 Speaker 12: I don't think that too yellows for those sort of 515 00:26:33,427 --> 00:26:35,747 Speaker 12: what they call professional felt they should be sent off. 516 00:26:35,747 --> 00:26:38,707 Speaker 12: They should be sent off for another ten minutes. I 517 00:26:38,947 --> 00:26:42,387 Speaker 12: totally disagree where they're off the field for good but 518 00:26:42,547 --> 00:26:47,227 Speaker 12: committing defense where there's no player danger, but through acts 519 00:26:47,267 --> 00:26:49,587 Speaker 12: of jeerlessness. I've never agreed with that. 520 00:26:49,787 --> 00:26:50,627 Speaker 9: What do you think about it? 521 00:26:51,107 --> 00:26:53,507 Speaker 2: I totally agree with you, Tony, I totally agree. Let's 522 00:26:53,507 --> 00:26:55,467 Speaker 2: look at a couple of yellow card offensis. Yeah, the one, 523 00:26:55,547 --> 00:26:57,627 Speaker 2: the one, the one that you've mentioned there. Yeah, the knockdown, 524 00:26:57,667 --> 00:27:00,667 Speaker 2: the deliberate knockdown, which you know often can be a 525 00:27:00,707 --> 00:27:02,427 Speaker 2: little bit controversial because you can say, well, I was 526 00:27:02,427 --> 00:27:03,987 Speaker 2: going for the intercept and didn't quite get it right. 527 00:27:04,067 --> 00:27:06,587 Speaker 2: Yellow can't. And then what let's say the second yellow 528 00:27:06,667 --> 00:27:09,787 Speaker 2: card is for accumulation of offenses. You know what it's 529 00:27:09,867 --> 00:27:12,067 Speaker 2: like when a team continues to infringe and the ref 530 00:27:12,147 --> 00:27:13,867 Speaker 2: goes like, the next one is on the bin. You 531 00:27:13,947 --> 00:27:15,867 Speaker 2: might not have done any of the previous ones. You're 532 00:27:15,907 --> 00:27:18,027 Speaker 2: back on from your ten minutes off. Anyway, you're the 533 00:27:18,107 --> 00:27:19,787 Speaker 2: unlucky guy who gets caught on the wrong side of 534 00:27:19,787 --> 00:27:21,867 Speaker 2: the recor whatever it is. Second yellow red, you're out. 535 00:27:22,347 --> 00:27:24,547 Speaker 2: It's not that you're right too yellows. You should have 536 00:27:24,627 --> 00:27:25,547 Speaker 2: always equal or red. 537 00:27:25,587 --> 00:27:29,747 Speaker 12: You're right, that's absolutely one, and that's something with Rugby 538 00:27:29,787 --> 00:27:31,907 Speaker 12: should have looked at it the clues, you know what 539 00:27:32,027 --> 00:27:34,267 Speaker 12: I mean. I always look at a thing on the 540 00:27:34,347 --> 00:27:37,187 Speaker 12: big issues, but that's a very important technical issue and 541 00:27:37,227 --> 00:27:40,427 Speaker 12: they should really get into that because it's a ridiculous role. 542 00:27:41,667 --> 00:27:43,987 Speaker 2: Yeah, very different from football, where too yellow is equal 543 00:27:44,027 --> 00:27:46,507 Speaker 2: to red. But you know, that's a completely different set 544 00:27:46,587 --> 00:27:49,987 Speaker 2: of circumstances. There's no there's no synbon in football. It's 545 00:27:50,547 --> 00:27:53,827 Speaker 2: but you're so right, Tony, You're so right. You know, 546 00:27:53,947 --> 00:27:56,507 Speaker 2: if you get two yellow cards for something that's absolutely 547 00:27:56,547 --> 00:27:59,587 Speaker 2: your fault, then that's different. But you can get yellow cards, 548 00:27:59,587 --> 00:28:02,227 Speaker 2: as you've pointed out, with a deliberate knock on, which 549 00:28:02,507 --> 00:28:06,267 Speaker 2: is sometimes contentious, and like I say, the accumulation, that's 550 00:28:06,467 --> 00:28:09,707 Speaker 2: one that puzzles me. You can get a yellow card 551 00:28:09,827 --> 00:28:11,747 Speaker 2: or doesn't puzzle me. I understand why they do it. 552 00:28:11,987 --> 00:28:14,827 Speaker 2: If a team continues to infringe, as you know, the 553 00:28:14,827 --> 00:28:17,467 Speaker 2: opposition of trying to attack, and you're continually infringing to 554 00:28:17,507 --> 00:28:20,987 Speaker 2: stop them from scoring. I get why the referee says, okay, 555 00:28:21,067 --> 00:28:23,667 Speaker 2: next one's in the bin. If you've already been in 556 00:28:23,747 --> 00:28:26,027 Speaker 2: the bin and you're just doing your best to try 557 00:28:26,107 --> 00:28:28,027 Speaker 2: and you know, and you just happen to get on 558 00:28:28,107 --> 00:28:31,227 Speaker 2: the wrong side of the law if it's your second yellow. 559 00:28:33,187 --> 00:28:36,507 Speaker 2: It's a little bit harsh on you, really when you're 560 00:28:36,587 --> 00:28:39,827 Speaker 2: sort of carrying the can for something that your entire 561 00:28:39,907 --> 00:28:44,827 Speaker 2: team has been responsible for. So there's a bit to unpack. 562 00:28:46,747 --> 00:28:48,667 Speaker 2: Text tip as well as a red card. Why not 563 00:28:48,747 --> 00:28:51,267 Speaker 2: put the player on report? This can be looked at later. 564 00:28:51,427 --> 00:28:53,867 Speaker 2: Maybe a number of games stood down. Then it affects 565 00:28:53,947 --> 00:28:57,547 Speaker 2: the player more than the team and the game. Very good, 566 00:28:57,827 --> 00:29:03,707 Speaker 2: very logical, very logical. Absolutely so twenty minute red card. 567 00:29:05,347 --> 00:29:08,747 Speaker 2: So if we take away because if we're trying to 568 00:29:08,867 --> 00:29:15,067 Speaker 2: distinguish between types of red cards, that gets problematic. But 569 00:29:15,187 --> 00:29:17,507 Speaker 2: if you say, okay, every red card is a twenty 570 00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:20,747 Speaker 2: minute red card, even the ones for thuggery and recklessness. 571 00:29:21,307 --> 00:29:23,747 Speaker 2: If every red card is a twenty minute red card, 572 00:29:24,667 --> 00:29:27,827 Speaker 2: but then they are all examined by the judiciary. The 573 00:29:27,867 --> 00:29:29,667 Speaker 2: blake who comes hearing in the side of the ruck 574 00:29:29,707 --> 00:29:33,347 Speaker 2: and takes somebody's head off gets six to eight weeks, 575 00:29:34,187 --> 00:29:36,667 Speaker 2: whereas if it's accidental head on the head of contact 576 00:29:37,107 --> 00:29:39,987 Speaker 2: that could be judged as harsh or unfair, then you 577 00:29:40,067 --> 00:29:43,947 Speaker 2: might not get any ban and the impact on the 578 00:29:44,067 --> 00:29:50,227 Speaker 2: game is not significant. Because that's what I think New 579 00:29:50,347 --> 00:29:55,587 Speaker 2: Zealand and Rugby's push for this sits on what is 580 00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:59,587 Speaker 2: it doing to the spectacle New Zealand Rugby Mark Robinson 581 00:29:59,707 --> 00:30:01,667 Speaker 2: big fans of the twenty minute red card. I have 582 00:30:01,747 --> 00:30:04,667 Speaker 2: seen it in action down here in Super Rugby. It's 583 00:30:04,747 --> 00:30:08,947 Speaker 2: a good idea, a good idea for making sure that 584 00:30:09,027 --> 00:30:12,667 Speaker 2: there's no lopsided or imbalanced games of rugby which can 585 00:30:12,707 --> 00:30:16,867 Speaker 2: affect the spectator experience up north and over in South Africa. 586 00:30:16,947 --> 00:30:22,947 Speaker 2: They hate it, which you know is their prerogative obviously, 587 00:30:23,027 --> 00:30:26,627 Speaker 2: but I don't really get their vehement opposition to it. 588 00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,027 Speaker 2: Twenty to one. Fill with you after this, Oh, eight 589 00:30:30,147 --> 00:30:32,147 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty spear line, if you want 590 00:30:32,147 --> 00:30:35,147 Speaker 2: to jump aboard talk red cards, yellow cards, orange cards, 591 00:30:35,187 --> 00:30:38,187 Speaker 2: the whole traffic light fruit salad of cards. Back in 592 00:30:38,267 --> 00:30:40,107 Speaker 2: a second Weekend Sport, Don't get. 593 00:30:39,987 --> 00:30:43,827 Speaker 1: Caught offside eight hundred eighty ten eighty Weekend Sports with 594 00:30:44,027 --> 00:30:48,147 Speaker 1: Jason Paine and GJ. Guvnerholmes, New Zealand's most Trusted home 595 00:30:48,187 --> 00:30:49,547 Speaker 1: builder News Dogs NB. 596 00:30:50,227 --> 00:30:54,027 Speaker 2: Twelve forty three halftime in Vancouver. But just before halftime, 597 00:30:54,147 --> 00:30:56,507 Speaker 2: this first task is getting the ball in the scrum 598 00:30:56,707 --> 00:30:57,067 Speaker 2: or higher. 599 00:30:57,187 --> 00:30:59,627 Speaker 4: She has to take it herself or left inside run 600 00:30:59,747 --> 00:31:02,387 Speaker 4: drops her back in field. Lovely work around minute huggy 601 00:31:02,467 --> 00:31:08,587 Speaker 4: Paul Kaitland for her Colo liver Hey twenty to fourteen kicks. 602 00:31:08,387 --> 00:31:10,827 Speaker 2: A come there you go. That was the fourth try 603 00:31:10,907 --> 00:31:13,187 Speaker 2: for New Zealand just before halftime. All four have been 604 00:31:13,227 --> 00:31:15,547 Speaker 2: scored out wide. None of the four have been converted, 605 00:31:15,907 --> 00:31:18,627 Speaker 2: but New Zealand lead France twenty points to fourteen at 606 00:31:18,667 --> 00:31:23,587 Speaker 2: halftime in this WXV one match steph unseas piney and hockey. 607 00:31:23,867 --> 00:31:26,747 Speaker 2: There are three card colors, green, yellow, red read for 608 00:31:26,827 --> 00:31:28,987 Speaker 2: exactly what Nigel wants a red card to be. Four. 609 00:31:29,307 --> 00:31:31,787 Speaker 2: Yellow can be for five or ten minutes, depending on 610 00:31:31,867 --> 00:31:35,027 Speaker 2: the degree. Green is two minutes off the field. Maybe 611 00:31:35,067 --> 00:31:36,867 Speaker 2: the twenty minute red card is another color to make 612 00:31:36,907 --> 00:31:40,427 Speaker 2: sure the punishment is proportional to the transgression. I agree 613 00:31:40,467 --> 00:31:42,587 Speaker 2: with Nigel that the twenty minute red card is papering 614 00:31:42,627 --> 00:31:45,747 Speaker 2: over the cracks and more complications will occur. Thank you, 615 00:31:45,787 --> 00:31:48,547 Speaker 2: Stephant appreciate it very much. Eight one hundred and eighty 616 00:31:48,587 --> 00:31:49,867 Speaker 2: ten eighty as always as our number. 617 00:31:49,947 --> 00:31:54,747 Speaker 13: Ken Hi, Hi, good ay, Jason, listen mate. Regarding the 618 00:31:54,827 --> 00:31:58,787 Speaker 13: red cards, I'm a big time rugby fan. The twenty 619 00:31:58,867 --> 00:32:02,467 Speaker 13: minute stand down is the best way to go because 620 00:32:02,827 --> 00:32:05,627 Speaker 13: I'm still trying to figure out what Nigel Olm was 621 00:32:05,667 --> 00:32:07,347 Speaker 13: trying to say is really complicating it. 622 00:32:09,227 --> 00:32:11,427 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think he was. What he was 623 00:32:11,467 --> 00:32:13,267 Speaker 2: trying to say was he doesn't agree with the twenty 624 00:32:13,307 --> 00:32:16,867 Speaker 2: minute red card because he doesn't agree with the red 625 00:32:16,947 --> 00:32:19,827 Speaker 2: card threshold. He believes the red card should be for 626 00:32:19,987 --> 00:32:24,827 Speaker 2: utter thuggery and recklessness and therefore, if you do those things, 627 00:32:24,907 --> 00:32:27,467 Speaker 2: you shouldn't get you twenty minutes and they get somebody 628 00:32:27,547 --> 00:32:29,507 Speaker 2: to come back on. And I don't think anyone suggesting 629 00:32:29,547 --> 00:32:31,387 Speaker 2: that can. I don't think anybody's saying, Okay, if a 630 00:32:31,427 --> 00:32:32,787 Speaker 2: guy comes on the side of a ruck and takes 631 00:32:32,827 --> 00:32:34,587 Speaker 2: another bloke's head off, that he should be able to 632 00:32:34,627 --> 00:32:37,387 Speaker 2: be replaced after twenty minutes. It's just that the red 633 00:32:37,467 --> 00:32:40,827 Speaker 2: card threshold now is so low, like the accidental head 634 00:32:40,827 --> 00:32:42,987 Speaker 2: on head contact, that we have to have a way 635 00:32:43,027 --> 00:32:46,027 Speaker 2: of redressing that imbalanced exactly. 636 00:32:46,227 --> 00:32:48,547 Speaker 13: You know, like how you know with Sam Kaine at 637 00:32:48,587 --> 00:32:51,027 Speaker 13: the World Cup, you know, I mean he goes off 638 00:32:51,067 --> 00:32:54,067 Speaker 13: of the whole game, yet the South African captain exactly 639 00:32:54,147 --> 00:32:59,027 Speaker 13: the same thing comes on after teen minutes or half 640 00:32:59,027 --> 00:33:01,667 Speaker 13: an hour or whatever it was, you know, and that's 641 00:33:01,707 --> 00:33:04,587 Speaker 13: sort of ruining the spectatorship. And you know, if you 642 00:33:04,667 --> 00:33:07,787 Speaker 13: start sort of saying, oh, a red card, just have 643 00:33:07,867 --> 00:33:09,427 Speaker 13: it a red card if it's you know, if the 644 00:33:09,507 --> 00:33:12,467 Speaker 13: referee deems it a red card. But the problem is 645 00:33:12,827 --> 00:33:15,107 Speaker 13: a lot of the problem is is the TMO, Jason, 646 00:33:15,307 --> 00:33:18,467 Speaker 13: the TMO quite often reads it differently than the ref 647 00:33:18,867 --> 00:33:21,707 Speaker 13: and the TMO, you know, how do they actually say 648 00:33:21,747 --> 00:33:24,027 Speaker 13: this total thuggery you can be a thug, but you 649 00:33:24,107 --> 00:33:26,667 Speaker 13: can do it discreetly, if that makes sense. 650 00:33:27,187 --> 00:33:30,627 Speaker 2: Yes, I know you're not speaking of experienced. There can 651 00:33:30,907 --> 00:33:34,067 Speaker 2: no no, of course, but I know I know what 652 00:33:34,147 --> 00:33:37,147 Speaker 2: you mean. Yeah, the little Yeah, you're right, you could yeah, 653 00:33:37,227 --> 00:33:38,067 Speaker 2: heading away from. 654 00:33:39,547 --> 00:33:41,427 Speaker 13: You know, back in the days with Colin Eas and 655 00:33:41,507 --> 00:33:43,467 Speaker 13: all those guys and column was never a thug. 656 00:33:43,587 --> 00:33:44,827 Speaker 10: But you know, you know what I mean. 657 00:33:44,907 --> 00:33:48,867 Speaker 13: I mean, you can do things that but if you 658 00:33:48,987 --> 00:33:51,067 Speaker 13: keep it simple, have the red card, keep the red 659 00:33:51,107 --> 00:33:53,867 Speaker 13: card as it is, off they go for twenty minutes, 660 00:33:53,907 --> 00:33:56,947 Speaker 13: and they're always replaced by somebody else. And if the 661 00:33:57,347 --> 00:34:01,747 Speaker 13: TMO and after reviewing it after the game, he needs 662 00:34:01,747 --> 00:34:04,387 Speaker 13: to stand down for six weeks or two months, be it, 663 00:34:04,587 --> 00:34:06,267 Speaker 13: so be it, you know, you know what I mean, 664 00:34:06,347 --> 00:34:09,747 Speaker 13: because they'll cut out the mistake of was that intentional or. 665 00:34:09,907 --> 00:34:10,347 Speaker 14: Was that not? 666 00:34:10,987 --> 00:34:11,187 Speaker 15: Yeah? 667 00:34:11,267 --> 00:34:14,507 Speaker 2: And then the yeah yeah and with that you're right 668 00:34:14,547 --> 00:34:16,787 Speaker 2: and without any time pressure as well. Ken So yeah, 669 00:34:16,907 --> 00:34:18,827 Speaker 2: so the player, the player is so the player is 670 00:34:18,867 --> 00:34:21,387 Speaker 2: red carded. Okay, they're replaced after twenty minutes, but then 671 00:34:21,667 --> 00:34:24,267 Speaker 2: after the game, yeah, exactly right. But then after the game, 672 00:34:24,907 --> 00:34:27,027 Speaker 2: you know, the next day or whatever it is, across 673 00:34:27,067 --> 00:34:29,267 Speaker 2: the next week, it's examined, the judiciary has a look 674 00:34:29,267 --> 00:34:32,067 Speaker 2: at it and says, okay, actually that is that is stuggery, 675 00:34:32,147 --> 00:34:34,867 Speaker 2: that's recklessness. You're out for six weeks or hey, that 676 00:34:34,987 --> 00:34:37,387 Speaker 2: was accidental, harsh and but unfair. You're only going to 677 00:34:37,387 --> 00:34:38,667 Speaker 2: get a week off or whatever. 678 00:34:38,467 --> 00:34:38,827 Speaker 16: It might be. 679 00:34:39,027 --> 00:34:41,747 Speaker 2: But the game itself wasn't impacted in the moment, because 680 00:34:42,427 --> 00:34:44,427 Speaker 2: you know, but and the with the benefit of a 681 00:34:44,467 --> 00:34:46,467 Speaker 2: bit of time to look at it, then you can 682 00:34:46,587 --> 00:34:48,227 Speaker 2: decide on the on the punishment. 683 00:34:49,027 --> 00:34:51,227 Speaker 13: One hundred percent, Jason, one hundred percent, because you know, 684 00:34:52,267 --> 00:34:54,867 Speaker 13: I still have nightmans about seeing Kaine in that World 685 00:34:54,907 --> 00:34:57,747 Speaker 13: Cup because the poor boger, you know, I mean, he's 686 00:34:57,787 --> 00:35:00,747 Speaker 13: not a duty player, and and you know, had he 687 00:35:00,827 --> 00:35:03,587 Speaker 13: been sent off, fear enough to risk saw that but 688 00:35:03,707 --> 00:35:05,907 Speaker 13: let him be replaced after twenty minutes because it runs 689 00:35:05,907 --> 00:35:08,227 Speaker 13: the game. You know, we probably would have won that game. 690 00:35:08,867 --> 00:35:11,747 Speaker 2: Yeah, good on you, Ken, Thanks mate, Thanks for calling through. 691 00:35:12,507 --> 00:35:14,987 Speaker 2: Please call back any time, Phil, Thanks for holding. 692 00:35:15,827 --> 00:35:18,387 Speaker 16: All right, Bonnie, how are you good? 693 00:35:18,427 --> 00:35:18,947 Speaker 2: Thank you mate? 694 00:35:19,947 --> 00:35:23,027 Speaker 17: Excellent, excellent. Yeah, it's I listened to Michael Oh and 695 00:35:23,067 --> 00:35:25,267 Speaker 17: that was a great interview I thought talking to him, 696 00:35:25,427 --> 00:35:28,507 Speaker 17: and on the surface of it, like you said, it 697 00:35:28,707 --> 00:35:30,987 Speaker 17: just seems so simple, it doesn't, it make so much sense. 698 00:35:31,107 --> 00:35:33,347 Speaker 17: But it only gets more complicated, I think when you 699 00:35:33,467 --> 00:35:38,027 Speaker 17: start thinking about it. You know, because if you if 700 00:35:38,107 --> 00:35:41,467 Speaker 17: you take like an incident where someone is just a 701 00:35:41,667 --> 00:35:45,267 Speaker 17: mongol good old fashioned term mongol, you know, or or 702 00:35:45,347 --> 00:35:50,147 Speaker 17: does something really dirty or blatantly wrong, like charging in 703 00:35:50,267 --> 00:35:56,707 Speaker 17: with an elbow, like I think that time Richie Richie 704 00:35:56,787 --> 00:35:58,707 Speaker 17: got the elbow where the South African in the head, 705 00:35:58,787 --> 00:36:01,627 Speaker 17: I think when he was lying on the ground or 706 00:36:01,747 --> 00:36:04,347 Speaker 17: punching someone from behind or to the side or something 707 00:36:04,507 --> 00:36:08,387 Speaker 17: charging in. Then you sort of think, well, that's got 708 00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:10,547 Speaker 17: to be punished. It's got to be punished severely at 709 00:36:10,627 --> 00:36:13,307 Speaker 17: the time, you know, because that is just blatant thuggery 710 00:36:13,427 --> 00:36:17,107 Speaker 17: and that word thuggery and wrong. So you think, right, 711 00:36:17,147 --> 00:36:21,747 Speaker 17: that's red card for the entire game. I think, I 712 00:36:21,947 --> 00:36:24,067 Speaker 17: like the idea of this red card for twenty minutes, 713 00:36:24,107 --> 00:36:26,067 Speaker 17: and I like, I say, it only going to start 714 00:36:26,067 --> 00:36:28,067 Speaker 17: to get complicated when I start sort of thinking about 715 00:36:28,067 --> 00:36:28,947 Speaker 17: it and thinking, well. 716 00:36:31,547 --> 00:36:34,107 Speaker 2: It pays not to think too deeply about things for others. No, no, 717 00:36:34,307 --> 00:36:36,387 Speaker 2: that's not true, but yeah, it does. It does open 718 00:36:36,507 --> 00:36:39,627 Speaker 2: up its own It does open up its own different 719 00:36:39,747 --> 00:36:40,467 Speaker 2: can of worms. 720 00:36:41,947 --> 00:36:45,187 Speaker 17: Yes, it does because you know, part of the problem 721 00:36:45,267 --> 00:36:48,347 Speaker 17: with rugby and the numbers and that are being struggling 722 00:36:48,427 --> 00:36:50,347 Speaker 17: and the popularity going down and people not going to 723 00:36:50,427 --> 00:36:52,307 Speaker 17: the games and watching it is if you take someone 724 00:36:52,427 --> 00:36:55,427 Speaker 17: off for the whole game, then it's got to have 725 00:36:55,547 --> 00:36:58,467 Speaker 17: an effect. And instead of having a fair game so 726 00:36:58,627 --> 00:37:00,827 Speaker 17: to speak, where you've got the exact numbers playing each other, 727 00:37:01,067 --> 00:37:04,147 Speaker 17: it can become very one sided, and people they want 728 00:37:04,187 --> 00:37:07,747 Speaker 17: to watch a fair contest. So that creates a problem there, 729 00:37:08,827 --> 00:37:12,027 Speaker 17: and I think that we should head more like down 730 00:37:12,107 --> 00:37:14,227 Speaker 17: the rugby league. What they do, you know, only if 731 00:37:14,267 --> 00:37:16,867 Speaker 17: we're a really severe incident and then you take it 732 00:37:16,947 --> 00:37:19,827 Speaker 17: to the judiciary afterwards and you hit them hard and 733 00:37:19,907 --> 00:37:24,627 Speaker 17: the judiciary and banned them. Rather go more down that way, 734 00:37:24,747 --> 00:37:25,827 Speaker 17: you know. Yep? 735 00:37:25,907 --> 00:37:27,867 Speaker 2: I agree, Phil, I agree that's the way we should go. 736 00:37:27,987 --> 00:37:29,307 Speaker 2: Got to get to another call mate, but good to 737 00:37:29,387 --> 00:37:31,227 Speaker 2: get as always, Anthony, you got to be. 738 00:37:31,307 --> 00:37:36,387 Speaker 15: On this, yeah, yeah, out now thugury red card. The 739 00:37:36,547 --> 00:37:39,347 Speaker 15: player should not be replaced because then the team will 740 00:37:39,347 --> 00:37:43,347 Speaker 15: step up their discipline. The problem that we have is 741 00:37:43,547 --> 00:37:47,547 Speaker 15: it's open to interpretation, and you know, the example being 742 00:37:47,627 --> 00:37:50,987 Speaker 15: Sam Kaine, you know, you've got a prop who's a 743 00:37:51,107 --> 00:37:53,347 Speaker 15: metro out from the line. He's driving for the line. 744 00:37:53,827 --> 00:37:56,747 Speaker 15: You've got a defender trying to defend his line and 745 00:37:56,827 --> 00:37:59,267 Speaker 15: the clash heads and they're three inches off the ground. 746 00:38:00,147 --> 00:38:02,227 Speaker 15: That's ridiculous, and the play isn't sent to the bin 747 00:38:02,587 --> 00:38:06,227 Speaker 15: or you know that. I think, well, we've lost is 748 00:38:06,347 --> 00:38:09,627 Speaker 15: common sense? So out and out thuggery. Your team should 749 00:38:09,627 --> 00:38:11,427 Speaker 15: be punished. Have you got a mungle on the field 750 00:38:11,867 --> 00:38:16,587 Speaker 15: that does something ridiculous? Tough luck your team's down to fourteen, 751 00:38:16,827 --> 00:38:19,787 Speaker 15: because then your team will start addressing the issues about 752 00:38:19,827 --> 00:38:23,347 Speaker 15: your discipline. But you know, the problem is we've got 753 00:38:23,347 --> 00:38:26,627 Speaker 15: a TMO from one week to another day that isn't consistent. 754 00:38:26,707 --> 00:38:29,507 Speaker 15: And this started to creep in with rugby league. It 755 00:38:29,587 --> 00:38:32,107 Speaker 15: got a little bit fashionable that you know, anything above 756 00:38:32,187 --> 00:38:35,227 Speaker 15: the shoulder, your symbols. So the first eight weeks of 757 00:38:35,347 --> 00:38:39,027 Speaker 15: rugby league this year that everyone got the bin. It 758 00:38:39,147 --> 00:38:41,907 Speaker 15: was like opradition out yellow cards. You get a yellow card, 759 00:38:41,907 --> 00:38:44,547 Speaker 15: you get a yellow card. So yeah, I think it 760 00:38:44,627 --> 00:38:48,307 Speaker 15: comes down to interpretation and the fact that common sense. 761 00:38:48,427 --> 00:38:52,667 Speaker 15: You know, the knock on, you know, a player getting 762 00:38:53,187 --> 00:38:59,387 Speaker 15: symbolmed for trying to intercept the ball. This is ridiculous, 763 00:38:59,707 --> 00:39:02,867 Speaker 15: and then it comes to interpretation. Was he legitimately trying 764 00:39:02,907 --> 00:39:04,587 Speaker 15: to get the ball and it just happened to fall down, 765 00:39:04,747 --> 00:39:07,027 Speaker 15: or you know, all this sort of stuff. I think 766 00:39:07,107 --> 00:39:10,587 Speaker 15: some of the interpretation of the rules needs to be clarified. 767 00:39:11,347 --> 00:39:13,547 Speaker 2: Good Man, Anthony good points well, mate, I agree with 768 00:39:13,587 --> 00:39:16,347 Speaker 2: the deliberate co on. That needs to be looked at. 769 00:39:16,427 --> 00:39:18,547 Speaker 2: That rule. I don't know how because often you can. 770 00:39:18,707 --> 00:39:20,787 Speaker 2: I mean, if you do deliberately knock a ball down 771 00:39:20,787 --> 00:39:22,307 Speaker 2: when it's heading out to the winger who's got a 772 00:39:22,307 --> 00:39:24,867 Speaker 2: clear run to the line, then you know, then perhaps 773 00:39:25,027 --> 00:39:26,547 Speaker 2: it is worthy of a yellow card. But why not 774 00:39:26,627 --> 00:39:28,787 Speaker 2: just give a penalty try if you think a try 775 00:39:28,907 --> 00:39:30,307 Speaker 2: is going to be scored. I've got a minute with 776 00:39:30,387 --> 00:39:32,307 Speaker 2: your Graham. Sorry cat, your short what's on your mind? 777 00:39:33,787 --> 00:39:36,227 Speaker 18: No, no worries, mate. There's one thing that's been forgotten 778 00:39:36,227 --> 00:39:39,027 Speaker 18: about in all this, and that's the fan. I don't 779 00:39:39,067 --> 00:39:41,107 Speaker 18: know how much a ticket to the World Cup final, 780 00:39:41,547 --> 00:39:45,827 Speaker 18: what's the last year, Probably about a thousand euros. But 781 00:39:45,987 --> 00:39:49,227 Speaker 18: when you take off a guy the duration of the game, 782 00:39:49,547 --> 00:39:53,507 Speaker 18: you're deprived of the contest and you know, sitting here 783 00:39:53,627 --> 00:39:57,627 Speaker 18: as a fan eighty thousand of them. You're getting hipped off. 784 00:39:59,347 --> 00:40:02,187 Speaker 2: Common sense, Graham, common sense. The same sort of thing happened. 785 00:40:02,507 --> 00:40:04,827 Speaker 2: It wasn't a World Cup final. But when France came 786 00:40:04,867 --> 00:40:06,547 Speaker 2: to Wellington about I think it was about to twenty 787 00:40:06,547 --> 00:40:09,227 Speaker 2: eighteen and in the first ten minutes one of the 788 00:40:09,267 --> 00:40:12,667 Speaker 2: French guys got sent off. It was for challenging in 789 00:40:12,707 --> 00:40:14,987 Speaker 2: the air. It wasn't faggery necessarily, it wasn't head on 790 00:40:15,027 --> 00:40:16,547 Speaker 2: head contact with one of the you know you you 791 00:40:16,707 --> 00:40:19,467 Speaker 2: challenged somebody in the air. I can't remember who it was, 792 00:40:19,547 --> 00:40:21,827 Speaker 2: but anyway, France went down to fourteen. After ten minutes. 793 00:40:21,907 --> 00:40:23,907 Speaker 2: You could feel the energy sucked out of that ground. 794 00:40:24,987 --> 00:40:28,507 Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, and I remember the game at even part 795 00:40:29,547 --> 00:40:33,907 Speaker 18: Mark's got two yellow cats. He didn't do anything wrong. 796 00:40:35,387 --> 00:40:41,387 Speaker 18: It hit bloody hard and he was a wee bit upright, 797 00:40:41,467 --> 00:40:46,067 Speaker 18: but the interpretations it was off the contest. 798 00:40:46,747 --> 00:40:48,907 Speaker 2: Yeah, Graham, you've put the You've put the fan right 799 00:40:48,947 --> 00:40:51,107 Speaker 2: in the middle of the conversation which we have to do. 800 00:40:51,747 --> 00:40:53,787 Speaker 2: We have to do.

But to the America's Cup we 857 00:43:59,267 --> 00:44:02,187 Speaker 2: Go and Team New Zealand have made a sizzling start 858 00:44:02,307 --> 00:44:04,907 Speaker 2: to the defense of the Old Mugan Barcelona a two 859 00:44:04,987 --> 00:44:08,787 Speaker 2: nil lead in the first to seven series against Ineos Britannia. 860 00:44:09,147 --> 00:44:10,987 Speaker 2: After a delay of almost an hour waiting for the 861 00:44:11,067 --> 00:44:13,187 Speaker 2: wind to build up, the Keys dominated the first race 862 00:44:13,267 --> 00:44:17,267 Speaker 2: and light shifty conditions to win by forty one seconds. 863 00:44:17,827 --> 00:44:20,427 Speaker 2: A rather more tense battle and race to the team's 864 00:44:20,467 --> 00:44:22,907 Speaker 2: trading the league before ten yew Zealand found a good 865 00:44:22,947 --> 00:44:25,627 Speaker 2: win shift on legue five to kick on in a 866 00:44:25,787 --> 00:44:29,027 Speaker 2: game that has somewhat so like a chess match. 867 00:44:29,507 --> 00:44:34,987 Speaker 19: It is checkmate to Emirates Team New Zealand's they lead 868 00:44:35,067 --> 00:44:39,347 Speaker 19: the cut now two races toil Tonell. 869 00:44:39,427 --> 00:44:42,187 Speaker 2: There are two more races scheduled overnight tonight. The New 870 00:44:42,307 --> 00:44:45,827 Speaker 2: Zealand heralds Chris Reeve is covering the Cup for US 871 00:44:45,907 --> 00:44:49,227 Speaker 2: in Barcelona. You can read his reports and analysis at 872 00:44:49,387 --> 00:44:52,347 Speaker 2: Enze Herald dot co dot NZI. Joins us now, Chris, 873 00:44:52,787 --> 00:44:55,907 Speaker 2: I read one of your pieces that suggested Ineos had 874 00:44:55,947 --> 00:44:59,267 Speaker 2: a problem with their battery just before the start of 875 00:44:59,307 --> 00:44:59,947 Speaker 2: the first race. 876 00:45:00,067 --> 00:45:00,427 Speaker 3: Is that right? 877 00:45:01,187 --> 00:45:03,467 Speaker 20: Yeah, there was a little bit of an issue going on. 878 00:45:03,667 --> 00:45:07,707 Speaker 20: I talked to one of the aniosks after Todany couldn't 879 00:45:07,747 --> 00:45:10,827 Speaker 20: really tell me what was going on there, but it 880 00:45:10,907 --> 00:45:13,707 Speaker 20: sounded like they switched out one of their batteries which are. 881 00:45:13,707 --> 00:45:15,187 Speaker 2: Power the foils. 882 00:45:15,827 --> 00:45:19,187 Speaker 20: So I'm not really sure what the issue was, but 883 00:45:19,347 --> 00:45:21,787 Speaker 20: it did look like it sort of slowed them down 884 00:45:21,867 --> 00:45:24,907 Speaker 20: a little bit getting into that starting box for the 885 00:45:24,987 --> 00:45:27,827 Speaker 20: first race and really set them on the back foot 886 00:45:27,907 --> 00:45:30,347 Speaker 20: to basically straight off the bat. 887 00:45:30,747 --> 00:45:34,027 Speaker 2: So, Kevin, how important the starts and the prestart is. 888 00:45:34,827 --> 00:45:37,147 Speaker 2: Was it obvious that that gave Team New Zealand an 889 00:45:37,187 --> 00:45:38,267 Speaker 2: advantage in Race one? 890 00:45:39,387 --> 00:45:43,307 Speaker 20: Yeah? Absolutely. The starts have been something that have been 891 00:45:43,387 --> 00:45:47,067 Speaker 20: talked about basically all week leading into this and into 892 00:45:47,147 --> 00:45:50,547 Speaker 20: this Cup match. Just getting off the start line quick, 893 00:45:50,747 --> 00:45:54,627 Speaker 20: with pace and sort of in the right direction is 894 00:45:55,227 --> 00:45:58,707 Speaker 20: vital to winning these races. The team who leads after 895 00:45:58,787 --> 00:46:01,267 Speaker 20: the first leg is quite often the one who comes 896 00:46:01,307 --> 00:46:03,427 Speaker 20: out winning the race, and start as a big part 897 00:46:03,507 --> 00:46:07,147 Speaker 20: of that Team New Zealand getting the jump there. I 898 00:46:07,267 --> 00:46:10,547 Speaker 20: was talking to Andy Maloney, one of the trimmers after 899 00:46:10,667 --> 00:46:12,867 Speaker 20: the racing, and he felt like that start was one 900 00:46:12,907 --> 00:46:14,667 Speaker 20: of the best they've had all would get us. So 901 00:46:15,147 --> 00:46:18,027 Speaker 20: that's a great sign for a team who haven't had 902 00:46:18,027 --> 00:46:19,747 Speaker 20: a race in about a month to come out and 903 00:46:19,907 --> 00:46:21,147 Speaker 20: hit the ground running like they did. 904 00:46:21,347 --> 00:46:22,747 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And I think that was one of the big 905 00:46:22,827 --> 00:46:25,107 Speaker 2: questions Chris, wasn't It was how would team you set 906 00:46:25,147 --> 00:46:29,027 Speaker 2: on Bee having not raced competitively for the best part 907 00:46:29,107 --> 00:46:30,747 Speaker 2: of a month. Did they look like a team that 908 00:46:30,827 --> 00:46:33,027 Speaker 2: had just been watching on and not racing. 909 00:46:34,427 --> 00:46:38,387 Speaker 20: I looked like a team who just have been racing. 910 00:46:38,707 --> 00:46:41,347 Speaker 20: I mean, they looked great out there today. It wasn't 911 00:46:41,387 --> 00:46:44,507 Speaker 20: an easy day either. The wind was sort of all 912 00:46:44,627 --> 00:46:47,427 Speaker 20: over the place. It was light, and then it sort 913 00:46:47,467 --> 00:46:49,707 Speaker 20: of built into the afternoon, but it was still very 914 00:46:49,827 --> 00:46:52,947 Speaker 20: patchy and they had to work really hard to sort 915 00:46:52,987 --> 00:46:57,907 Speaker 20: of put the pieces together to make a good complete race. 916 00:46:57,987 --> 00:47:00,227 Speaker 20: And we saw that in the second race that they 917 00:47:00,267 --> 00:47:01,947 Speaker 20: were able to do that. I think it was the 918 00:47:02,627 --> 00:47:06,027 Speaker 20: fifth leg, the second to last up wind, that they 919 00:47:06,067 --> 00:47:09,387 Speaker 20: really started putting the putting the pieces together and built 920 00:47:09,427 --> 00:47:12,387 Speaker 20: a good lead in that one. And what really impressed 921 00:47:12,387 --> 00:47:15,467 Speaker 20: me about them today was the comms on board. Like 922 00:47:15,587 --> 00:47:17,867 Speaker 20: I said, it was a tough day and they were 923 00:47:17,947 --> 00:47:18,907 Speaker 20: really just kind. 924 00:47:18,707 --> 00:47:19,667 Speaker 7: Of talking it out. 925 00:47:19,867 --> 00:47:21,987 Speaker 20: And that's a big part of these boats now that 926 00:47:22,107 --> 00:47:25,427 Speaker 20: you've got helmsmen on both sides, so they really only 927 00:47:25,507 --> 00:47:28,427 Speaker 20: see one side of the course each So it was 928 00:47:28,507 --> 00:47:31,667 Speaker 20: really interesting to listen to that and just how sort 929 00:47:31,707 --> 00:47:33,907 Speaker 20: of detailed they go into these things. 930 00:47:34,307 --> 00:47:37,227 Speaker 2: Across the two races. Were you able to tell who's 931 00:47:37,347 --> 00:47:39,947 Speaker 2: faster upwind and who's faster downwind? 932 00:47:41,027 --> 00:47:43,987 Speaker 20: Yeah, it's hard to say, after one day of racing, 933 00:47:44,027 --> 00:47:46,667 Speaker 20: I think I would like to see them in well, 934 00:47:46,707 --> 00:47:49,627 Speaker 20: I guess a couple more races or different conditions to 935 00:47:49,747 --> 00:47:52,427 Speaker 20: see sort of what the paces look like. But today 936 00:47:52,587 --> 00:47:57,227 Speaker 20: it was very clear that Emeratesty New Zealand were faster 937 00:47:57,387 --> 00:48:01,787 Speaker 20: upwind and any of Us Britannia were faster downwind. Downwind 938 00:48:01,827 --> 00:48:05,787 Speaker 20: has been a big strength of the Bricks throughout the campaign, 939 00:48:05,907 --> 00:48:08,787 Speaker 20: so that was a big surprise. But it'll be interesting 940 00:48:08,827 --> 00:48:12,227 Speaker 20: to see how if that changes in the next few 941 00:48:12,307 --> 00:48:13,587 Speaker 20: races over the coming days. 942 00:48:13,787 --> 00:48:15,787 Speaker 2: So by the sounds of things, the second race was 943 00:48:15,947 --> 00:48:18,587 Speaker 2: a lot closer, just a twenty seven second winning margin 944 00:48:18,667 --> 00:48:21,147 Speaker 2: at the end. No lead changes in the first race, Chris, 945 00:48:21,227 --> 00:48:23,467 Speaker 2: Were there lead changes in the second? 946 00:48:24,667 --> 00:48:25,267 Speaker 11: Yeah, there were. 947 00:48:26,107 --> 00:48:29,147 Speaker 20: There were kind of in the first two or three legs. 948 00:48:29,667 --> 00:48:32,707 Speaker 20: There was a really really close match racing. That first 949 00:48:32,787 --> 00:48:37,067 Speaker 20: leg was great. The media center, we're all quite tense 950 00:48:37,147 --> 00:48:41,827 Speaker 20: watching that because just those crosses were so close you 951 00:48:41,907 --> 00:48:43,547 Speaker 20: didn't really know who was going to have the lead 952 00:48:43,667 --> 00:48:47,227 Speaker 20: by the first gate. Ultimately, Team New Zealand did get 953 00:48:47,347 --> 00:48:49,707 Speaker 20: that to get us quite a slim lead at the 954 00:48:49,747 --> 00:48:53,147 Speaker 20: first gate and went on to win. But yeah, it's 955 00:48:53,187 --> 00:48:55,787 Speaker 20: good to see some lead changes, because I know some 956 00:48:55,907 --> 00:48:58,707 Speaker 20: people might be a little bit skeptical after seeing some 957 00:48:58,947 --> 00:49:02,227 Speaker 20: races earlier in the campaign where you know, there weren't 958 00:49:02,267 --> 00:49:05,147 Speaker 20: a lot of lead changes. So actually seeing that and 959 00:49:05,267 --> 00:49:09,147 Speaker 20: seeing that just how competitive these two boats are alongside 960 00:49:09,227 --> 00:49:12,467 Speaker 20: one another, it's it bodes well for the coming week. 961 00:49:12,747 --> 00:49:14,867 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Team New Zealand will be very happy, obviously, 962 00:49:14,947 --> 00:49:17,387 Speaker 2: having banked two race wins, they just need to get 963 00:49:17,387 --> 00:49:21,507 Speaker 2: to seven. Did you see enough though from Anyos Britannia 964 00:49:21,587 --> 00:49:24,147 Speaker 2: to suggest that this won't just be seven nil? 965 00:49:25,267 --> 00:49:27,747 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think they'll. They'll make Team New Zealand work 966 00:49:27,827 --> 00:49:30,227 Speaker 20: for it. In saying that Team New Zealand could still 967 00:49:30,307 --> 00:49:32,107 Speaker 20: win this one seven nil, I mean that's not out 968 00:49:32,147 --> 00:49:36,667 Speaker 20: of the question at all. Like the second race today Inios, 969 00:49:37,027 --> 00:49:39,827 Speaker 20: Britannia probably could have won that had they been the 970 00:49:39,907 --> 00:49:42,787 Speaker 20: team to guess put those shifts together. So it can 971 00:49:42,867 --> 00:49:47,347 Speaker 20: come down to one or two decisions these races, you know, 972 00:49:47,747 --> 00:49:51,507 Speaker 20: make one make one rock move and you lose the race. 973 00:49:51,667 --> 00:49:53,587 Speaker 20: It's that that type. 974 00:49:54,027 --> 00:49:55,947 Speaker 2: And you mentioned the conditions a couple of times. Can 975 00:49:55,987 --> 00:49:57,947 Speaker 2: you just expand on them though, Chris, The nature of 976 00:49:58,027 --> 00:50:01,147 Speaker 2: the en course conditions that greeted these two teams today. 977 00:50:02,227 --> 00:50:04,307 Speaker 20: Yeah, we're kind of the reverse of what we were 978 00:50:04,587 --> 00:50:08,107 Speaker 20: told to expect. So we were told that the wind 979 00:50:08,147 --> 00:50:11,827 Speaker 20: would sort of be good for good for racing around 980 00:50:12,147 --> 00:50:14,787 Speaker 20: sort of two in the afternoon here, which is when 981 00:50:14,867 --> 00:50:17,707 Speaker 20: things were meant to start. That didn't happen. There was 982 00:50:17,747 --> 00:50:20,467 Speaker 20: a delay of about fifty minutes as the wind built, 983 00:50:21,067 --> 00:50:24,107 Speaker 20: And yeah, like I said before, when the wind did build, 984 00:50:24,307 --> 00:50:27,267 Speaker 20: it was like it was probably a decent breeze, sort 985 00:50:27,267 --> 00:50:29,187 Speaker 20: of toward the lower end of the limit still but 986 00:50:30,507 --> 00:50:34,947 Speaker 20: just a little bit better in certain areas of the course. 987 00:50:35,027 --> 00:50:37,787 Speaker 20: And the sea state, of course they get out here 988 00:50:38,107 --> 00:50:41,267 Speaker 20: doesn't really help these things in a little bit of 989 00:50:41,347 --> 00:50:45,187 Speaker 20: lump on the on the surface gives them something else 990 00:50:45,227 --> 00:50:48,347 Speaker 20: they have to sort of factor into all their decision making. 991 00:50:48,547 --> 00:50:50,827 Speaker 20: So there's a lot going on out there that these 992 00:50:50,867 --> 00:50:55,387 Speaker 20: guys have to take into consideration when they're pre prepping 993 00:50:55,427 --> 00:50:56,627 Speaker 20: their boats for the conditions. 994 00:50:56,787 --> 00:50:59,987 Speaker 2: And there are two more races scheduled tomorrow. So have 995 00:51:00,107 --> 00:51:02,267 Speaker 2: you seen the fore cast. What's the likelihood of getting 996 00:51:02,267 --> 00:51:02,867 Speaker 2: those underway? 997 00:51:03,827 --> 00:51:07,987 Speaker 20: Yeah, fans back at home, I'm getting up to watching 998 00:51:08,067 --> 00:51:11,227 Speaker 20: the racing. They probably want to probably want to make 999 00:51:11,227 --> 00:51:13,547 Speaker 20: a strong pot of coffee for the morning. It's not 1000 00:51:13,827 --> 00:51:18,387 Speaker 20: looking good at the moment. We're expecting very very light 1001 00:51:18,507 --> 00:51:22,547 Speaker 20: when you know, maybe that'll change overnight and they get 1002 00:51:22,627 --> 00:51:26,267 Speaker 20: a little bit more breeze than they're expecting. But yeah, 1003 00:51:26,267 --> 00:51:29,347 Speaker 20: I don't know how confident they are about getting two 1004 00:51:29,467 --> 00:51:30,347 Speaker 20: races done tomorrow. 1005 00:51:30,467 --> 00:51:32,587 Speaker 2: All right, We'll wait and see on that. And now, 1006 00:51:32,707 --> 00:51:36,307 Speaker 2: with Team New Zealand actually racing competitively, is it obvious 1007 00:51:36,387 --> 00:51:39,227 Speaker 2: that there's a bit of support for Team New Zealand 1008 00:51:39,267 --> 00:51:39,947 Speaker 2: on short. 1009 00:51:40,627 --> 00:51:42,627 Speaker 20: Yeah, there's a lot of Kiwis in town. 1010 00:51:42,747 --> 00:51:42,907 Speaker 21: Man. 1011 00:51:43,507 --> 00:51:46,107 Speaker 20: We went down to the dock out this morning and 1012 00:51:46,187 --> 00:51:50,227 Speaker 20: there was thousands of people down there just lining the 1013 00:51:50,267 --> 00:51:53,827 Speaker 20: waterfront to watch the boat peel out. That's been something 1014 00:51:53,907 --> 00:51:56,707 Speaker 20: that's I guess grown over the last few days since 1015 00:51:56,747 --> 00:52:00,467 Speaker 20: I've been here, that there's a sort of noticeable influx 1016 00:52:00,547 --> 00:52:03,147 Speaker 20: of Kiwi's have made their way down here. And you 1017 00:52:03,187 --> 00:52:06,107 Speaker 20: see all the Team New Zealand kick down on the waterfront, 1018 00:52:06,147 --> 00:52:08,027 Speaker 20: So there's definitely plenty of support down here. 1019 00:52:08,187 --> 00:52:10,227 Speaker 2: Good to hear, Chris. Thanks for staying up for us, mate, 1020 00:52:10,307 --> 00:52:12,707 Speaker 2: get some sleep and we'll look forward to day two 1021 00:52:13,107 --> 00:52:16,227 Speaker 2: of the America's Cup match tomorrow. That's Chris Reeve from 1022 00:52:16,347 --> 00:52:19,707 Speaker 2: the New Zealand Herald. He's in Barcelona covering the America's 1023 00:52:19,747 --> 00:52:22,147 Speaker 2: Cup match for us. Read him at endzid Herald dot 1024 00:52:22,187 --> 00:52:24,067 Speaker 2: co dot nz or the analysis and other bits and 1025 00:52:24,107 --> 00:52:27,627 Speaker 2: pieces there for you as well. So to nil to 1026 00:52:27,987 --> 00:52:30,987 Speaker 2: New Zealand after two races? Did you get up and watch? 1027 00:52:32,067 --> 00:52:34,627 Speaker 2: Or did you We discussed this a lot yesterday. Did 1028 00:52:34,667 --> 00:52:38,747 Speaker 2: you go the more civilized approach of getting up this 1029 00:52:38,867 --> 00:52:41,467 Speaker 2: morning and watching a replay? What did you make of it? 1030 00:52:41,547 --> 00:52:44,027 Speaker 2: We had quite a bit of sailing analysis on the 1031 00:52:44,107 --> 00:52:46,987 Speaker 2: show yesterday. Actually didn't we I was quite I wasn't surprised. 1032 00:52:46,987 --> 00:52:49,027 Speaker 2: I knew the Zby audience were fairly well versed on 1033 00:52:49,427 --> 00:52:51,587 Speaker 2: all sorts of sport. But if you watch what did 1034 00:52:51,627 --> 00:52:53,867 Speaker 2: you make of it? Did it look as though Team 1035 00:52:53,947 --> 00:52:57,347 Speaker 2: New Zealand had the edge? I mean they're not huge margins, 1036 00:52:57,387 --> 00:52:59,947 Speaker 2: are they. I've looked at some highlights. I couldn't possibly 1037 00:53:00,027 --> 00:53:03,547 Speaker 2: say that I've analyzed these races in any depth. But 1038 00:53:03,667 --> 00:53:06,827 Speaker 2: when you win by the margins that Team New Zealand 1039 00:53:06,907 --> 00:53:09,947 Speaker 2: did of was it forty one seconds and then twenty 1040 00:53:10,027 --> 00:53:12,147 Speaker 2: seven seconds? The second race was really good? They were 1041 00:53:12,627 --> 00:53:14,347 Speaker 2: you know, I think it was who do we have. 1042 00:53:14,427 --> 00:53:18,587 Speaker 2: On yesterday, Ray Davies said, there's not often a heck 1043 00:53:18,667 --> 00:53:20,787 Speaker 2: of a lot of lead changing during these races, but 1044 00:53:21,187 --> 00:53:24,147 Speaker 2: there was in race too. They traded the lead, you know, 1045 00:53:24,267 --> 00:53:27,347 Speaker 2: a couple of three times before eventually ten Zealand found 1046 00:53:27,347 --> 00:53:28,987 Speaker 2: a good wind on leg five and kicked on and 1047 00:53:29,027 --> 00:53:31,467 Speaker 2: claimed the win. But if you watched it, keen to 1048 00:53:31,507 --> 00:53:33,627 Speaker 2: hear your thoughts, if it's the first time you've watched it, 1049 00:53:33,707 --> 00:53:34,947 Speaker 2: keen to hear your thoughts because a lot of people, 1050 00:53:34,947 --> 00:53:37,267 Speaker 2: like I said yesterday, haven't engaged with the America's Cup 1051 00:53:37,347 --> 00:53:39,787 Speaker 2: yet because we haven't been in it. Now we are. 1052 00:53:39,867 --> 00:53:41,907 Speaker 2: Did you watch it? What did you think? Susie's got 1053 00:53:41,947 --> 00:53:45,147 Speaker 2: in touch? Susie says, we spoke yesterday Jason, I had 1054 00:53:45,187 --> 00:53:47,307 Speaker 2: the whoop. See on the population of New Zealand. I 1055 00:53:47,387 --> 00:53:49,747 Speaker 2: see three million. I agree, it's actually five and a half. 1056 00:53:50,267 --> 00:53:53,147 Speaker 2: What a great night it was for the hundreds of 1057 00:53:53,227 --> 00:53:56,547 Speaker 2: thousands of Team New Zealand local and international supporters. I 1058 00:53:56,587 --> 00:53:59,627 Speaker 2: loved it. Thanks Susie. I thought you would. I thought 1059 00:53:59,707 --> 00:54:00,067 Speaker 2: you would. 1060 00:54:00,587 --> 00:54:00,947 Speaker 20: We will. 1061 00:54:01,387 --> 00:54:05,227 Speaker 2: We'll hear from Peter Berling and Andy Maloney very very shortly. 1062 00:54:05,267 --> 00:54:07,787 Speaker 2: But if you had a look, let us know you're analysis. 1063 00:54:07,827 --> 00:54:09,227 Speaker 2: Did you get up Mark and have a have a 1064 00:54:09,267 --> 00:54:11,667 Speaker 2: look or watch it this morning at breakfast time. 1065 00:54:12,947 --> 00:54:13,427 Speaker 8: I split. 1066 00:54:13,547 --> 00:54:16,387 Speaker 11: I watched the first race and I got up and 1067 00:54:16,427 --> 00:54:17,187 Speaker 11: watched the rebot. 1068 00:54:17,347 --> 00:54:19,307 Speaker 15: Actually I watched it on my computer when I get up. 1069 00:54:19,267 --> 00:54:19,747 Speaker 9: In the morning. 1070 00:54:19,827 --> 00:54:21,987 Speaker 11: But yeah, it looks like a team music on have 1071 00:54:22,627 --> 00:54:23,787 Speaker 11: passed the boat once again. 1072 00:54:24,907 --> 00:54:25,107 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1073 00:54:25,307 --> 00:54:27,907 Speaker 9: I just thinking the constant breeze. I think they'll they'll 1074 00:54:27,907 --> 00:54:28,507 Speaker 9: blow them away. 1075 00:54:28,547 --> 00:54:31,587 Speaker 11: It looked like they had a smaller a smaller gyb 1076 00:54:31,667 --> 00:54:34,707 Speaker 11: than any of which sort of affected their down wind speeder. 1077 00:54:34,747 --> 00:54:36,027 Speaker 11: But but they looked fast. 1078 00:54:36,347 --> 00:54:37,107 Speaker 15: I think of the two. 1079 00:54:37,067 --> 00:54:39,427 Speaker 22: Boats, you have to stay faster. 1080 00:54:40,267 --> 00:54:42,147 Speaker 11: It is was the key in America's Cup. 1081 00:54:42,827 --> 00:54:46,707 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, and the I read that book this morning. 1082 00:54:46,707 --> 00:54:48,747 Speaker 2: I'm not sure whether it was obvious on the TV 1083 00:54:48,867 --> 00:54:53,267 Speaker 2: coverage or not about any Ospretennia having. I mean, I've 1084 00:54:53,267 --> 00:54:55,227 Speaker 2: spent teens of millions of dollars on their boat and 1085 00:54:55,267 --> 00:54:57,827 Speaker 2: then they've got to replace their battery three minutes before 1086 00:54:57,867 --> 00:54:58,307 Speaker 2: the start. 1087 00:54:59,667 --> 00:55:02,867 Speaker 11: It was an idea, I suppose before the first first race, 1088 00:55:02,947 --> 00:55:05,107 Speaker 11: after you've spent so much money game here, it's not 1089 00:55:05,227 --> 00:55:09,307 Speaker 11: really not really idea, but I guess, yeah, those sort 1090 00:55:09,307 --> 00:55:12,107 Speaker 11: of things. What do you think about Dalton? 1091 00:55:12,147 --> 00:55:12,267 Speaker 1: Do you? 1092 00:55:12,627 --> 00:55:14,307 Speaker 11: I mean to me, I mean, if he's not going 1093 00:55:14,347 --> 00:55:15,947 Speaker 11: to bring it back to New Zealand, I think I'll 1094 00:55:15,987 --> 00:55:19,507 Speaker 11: actually rather the British want to be far. I just 1095 00:55:19,587 --> 00:55:21,307 Speaker 11: think what Grant Dalton. 1096 00:55:21,067 --> 00:55:25,467 Speaker 22: Did to New Zealand it was pretty dirty. 1097 00:55:25,747 --> 00:55:27,027 Speaker 9: What are you well? 1098 00:55:27,387 --> 00:55:30,267 Speaker 2: I tend to focus more on the on the on 1099 00:55:30,387 --> 00:55:33,147 Speaker 2: the on the water staff mark, if I'm honest. I look, 1100 00:55:33,467 --> 00:55:36,307 Speaker 2: I know Grant Dalton's a very polarizing figure. I've never 1101 00:55:36,387 --> 00:55:38,267 Speaker 2: met him. I've had the chance, I think, to speak 1102 00:55:38,267 --> 00:55:40,987 Speaker 2: to him a couple of times and interview situations. I 1103 00:55:41,107 --> 00:55:45,147 Speaker 2: think there's you know, there's certainly a school of thought 1104 00:55:45,227 --> 00:55:47,907 Speaker 2: that if we're not going to defend the cup on 1105 00:55:48,027 --> 00:55:51,707 Speaker 2: home Waters, then a lot of people will disengage from it. 1106 00:55:51,907 --> 00:55:53,907 Speaker 2: And you know, obviously stands to reason if it was 1107 00:55:53,947 --> 00:55:55,867 Speaker 2: that it was at Auckland and the Hoechy Golf or 1108 00:55:55,867 --> 00:55:57,667 Speaker 2: what am I to harb or whatever it was, then 1109 00:55:57,827 --> 00:56:00,107 Speaker 2: of course there'll be thousands and thousands and thousands of 1110 00:56:00,147 --> 00:56:05,587 Speaker 2: people there. But yeah, I haven't gone down the track 1111 00:56:05,667 --> 00:56:08,547 Speaker 2: of thinking, Okay, well he's annoyed me so much that 1112 00:56:08,667 --> 00:56:12,787 Speaker 2: I hope we lose it, Because I've met and chatted 1113 00:56:12,827 --> 00:56:15,307 Speaker 2: to a you know, to a number of the sailors 1114 00:56:15,347 --> 00:56:17,547 Speaker 2: on board, and I like them a lot, you know, 1115 00:56:17,667 --> 00:56:20,147 Speaker 2: I like Peter Berling a lot. I like Blair Chook. 1116 00:56:20,227 --> 00:56:22,947 Speaker 2: I like well, Haymous Bond is on there isn't hen't 1117 00:56:22,947 --> 00:56:25,507 Speaker 2: see him's there there cycling Josh Junior of middle these 1118 00:56:25,547 --> 00:56:27,867 Speaker 2: guys and then and they're top men, top lugs, so 1119 00:56:28,107 --> 00:56:29,427 Speaker 2: I want success for them. 1120 00:56:30,547 --> 00:56:32,747 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, and that's true. But I just thought it 1121 00:56:32,867 --> 00:56:36,307 Speaker 11: was completely dirty and the handed how he just sort 1122 00:56:36,307 --> 00:56:38,667 Speaker 11: of took it away from New Zealand after and I 1123 00:56:38,747 --> 00:56:40,147 Speaker 11: sort of feel it's a bit of an a front 1124 00:56:40,187 --> 00:56:42,387 Speaker 11: calling it almost Team new Zealand. Now he should call 1125 00:56:42,467 --> 00:56:45,427 Speaker 11: it Team Dalton or something like that really rather than 1126 00:56:45,507 --> 00:56:50,547 Speaker 11: Team New Zealand. Because I've been watching The America's Captains Freemantle, 1127 00:56:50,627 --> 00:56:53,347 Speaker 11: and you know, I was always I've always watched it 1128 00:56:53,467 --> 00:56:55,867 Speaker 11: and enjoyed it, and you know, the whole idea was 1129 00:56:55,907 --> 00:56:57,187 Speaker 11: to bring us back in New Zealand. 1130 00:56:57,267 --> 00:56:59,947 Speaker 22: It's great for the country and tourism, and no one 1131 00:57:00,027 --> 00:57:03,307 Speaker 22: even do that, and for people like myself were just 1132 00:57:03,427 --> 00:57:06,507 Speaker 22: completely disgusting with him that he did that, and you know, 1133 00:57:06,667 --> 00:57:10,427 Speaker 22: I mean, they've taken a line of money over the decade. 1134 00:57:10,427 --> 00:57:13,067 Speaker 22: It's not just the Team Zealand took a lot of 1135 00:57:13,147 --> 00:57:16,587 Speaker 22: money off textayers and council and they've got a lot 1136 00:57:16,627 --> 00:57:19,707 Speaker 22: of help from And I thought he was quite the 1137 00:57:19,787 --> 00:57:21,547 Speaker 22: spoil when he decided to take off. 1138 00:57:22,587 --> 00:57:26,427 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess he'd say. And I'm sure you've 1139 00:57:26,587 --> 00:57:28,427 Speaker 2: you've you've picked up on this mark. I'm sure he'd 1140 00:57:28,507 --> 00:57:30,587 Speaker 2: say that. You know, he had to because he needed 1141 00:57:30,787 --> 00:57:33,547 Speaker 2: needed the money, you know, needed to you know, he 1142 00:57:33,627 --> 00:57:38,227 Speaker 2: wasn't able to get the investment he needed from from 1143 00:57:38,267 --> 00:57:41,587 Speaker 2: here and therefore had to make the had to make 1144 00:57:41,627 --> 00:57:44,307 Speaker 2: the move offshore to get greater investment over there. I 1145 00:57:44,587 --> 00:57:48,027 Speaker 2: kind of agree. My colleague Adam Cooper, who hosted the 1146 00:57:48,067 --> 00:57:50,747 Speaker 2: All Sport Breakfast yesterday morning, made this point about whether 1147 00:57:50,867 --> 00:57:55,947 Speaker 2: we should still attach a sense of nationalism to Team 1148 00:57:55,987 --> 00:57:58,587 Speaker 2: New Zealand or whether it should just be called Emirates. 1149 00:58:00,227 --> 00:58:04,707 Speaker 2: But like I say, I I have met Peter Berling 1150 00:58:04,747 --> 00:58:06,707 Speaker 2: a couple of times and I really like them. I 1151 00:58:06,867 --> 00:58:09,427 Speaker 2: just like him a lot. I like Blair Chuk, I 1152 00:58:09,587 --> 00:58:13,187 Speaker 2: like Hamish Bond, I like Josh Jr. I like Andy Maloney, 1153 00:58:13,547 --> 00:58:16,507 Speaker 2: all of these sailors who have had the opportunity to 1154 00:58:16,587 --> 00:58:19,427 Speaker 2: chat to on the radio show. I've really liked all 1155 00:58:19,507 --> 00:58:22,307 Speaker 2: of them, and as I've seen a number of times, 1156 00:58:22,867 --> 00:58:25,867 Speaker 2: you want success for people that you like, and I 1157 00:58:26,107 --> 00:58:29,827 Speaker 2: like them, so I hope they win. I don't I 1158 00:58:29,907 --> 00:58:32,667 Speaker 2: don't feel the same way about Team New Zealand as 1159 00:58:32,707 --> 00:58:34,387 Speaker 2: I do about the All Blacks or the Black Ferns 1160 00:58:34,507 --> 00:58:36,507 Speaker 2: or the Black Caps or those other teams. I don't 1161 00:58:36,547 --> 00:58:41,867 Speaker 2: feel a nationalistic attachment to Team New Zealand, but that 1162 00:58:41,947 --> 00:58:46,267 Speaker 2: doesn't mean that I want these these good Kiwis. 1163 00:58:46,227 --> 00:58:46,747 Speaker 8: To do well. 1164 00:58:49,107 --> 00:58:51,387 Speaker 2: One twenty four News talks the b We're back back 1165 00:58:51,427 --> 00:58:52,307 Speaker 2: with more right after. 1166 00:58:52,187 --> 00:58:56,027 Speaker 1: This The Voice of Sport on your Home of Sport 1167 00:58:56,427 --> 00:59:00,307 Speaker 1: Weekend Sport with Jason Vine and GJ.

Yeah, I mean it was 1171 00:59:08,787 --> 00:59:09,507 Speaker 2: awesome out there. 1172 00:59:10,867 --> 00:59:13,507 Speaker 23: Obviously this morning we went out was pretty light, so 1173 00:59:14,627 --> 00:59:16,067 Speaker 23: we're hoping to get a bit of racing in. I 1174 00:59:16,107 --> 00:59:18,587 Speaker 23: think today's the first say we felt actually ready to 1175 00:59:18,667 --> 00:59:20,827 Speaker 23: go and it was awesome to put down two good performances. 1176 00:59:21,067 --> 00:59:24,267 Speaker 2: Typically understated from Peter Berling. Here's another Pete get i, Pete, 1177 00:59:25,347 --> 00:59:25,747 Speaker 2: there you go. 1178 00:59:25,827 --> 00:59:27,747 Speaker 24: And here we go out in the old Cup. There 1179 00:59:28,387 --> 00:59:30,867 Speaker 24: we went up this time round right, we we do 1180 00:59:31,387 --> 00:59:33,347 Speaker 24: go ahead. But I didn't actually watch it at all 1181 00:59:33,427 --> 00:59:37,027 Speaker 24: the two races in the morning. That's what sort of 1182 00:59:37,067 --> 00:59:39,547 Speaker 24: annoyed me, as what's happened is we've won and it 1183 00:59:39,587 --> 00:59:41,467 Speaker 24: should have been challenged here. And I think most u 1184 00:59:41,547 --> 00:59:44,627 Speaker 24: zingands think the same Grant Dolphin pharaohs. If he doesn't 1185 00:59:44,627 --> 00:59:46,547 Speaker 24: get challenged you next time we win it, he's got 1186 00:59:46,667 --> 00:59:48,387 Speaker 24: to go because all the end of the paraos on 1187 00:59:48,547 --> 00:59:50,187 Speaker 24: and so he might be hating sellingers, but he's hit 1188 00:59:50,267 --> 00:59:51,027 Speaker 24: in the big back end. 1189 00:59:52,307 --> 00:59:55,227 Speaker 2: Thanks Pete. I appreciate your call. Look, I don't think 1190 00:59:55,267 --> 00:59:58,907 Speaker 2: it'll be here next time. I think, let's say that 1191 00:59:58,947 --> 01:00:02,507 Speaker 2: we win it, that we defend it, I don't think 1192 01:00:02,547 --> 01:00:04,747 Speaker 2: it will be back here. That's my gap feel on it. 1193 01:00:06,107 --> 01:00:08,987 Speaker 2: And yes it does. I think quite a bit of 1194 01:00:09,067 --> 01:00:13,827 Speaker 2: emotion when we've defended it and had such great moments 1195 01:00:13,867 --> 01:00:19,187 Speaker 2: defending it in New Zealand. But yeah, I kind of tend, 1196 01:00:19,307 --> 01:00:22,027 Speaker 2: like say, at the moment, to focus on what's happening 1197 01:00:22,107 --> 01:00:24,467 Speaker 2: on the water. I feel like we had the conversation 1198 01:00:24,547 --> 01:00:26,707 Speaker 2: about whether it should be defended here or not defended here, 1199 01:00:26,787 --> 01:00:29,587 Speaker 2: And yes, you are quite within your rights to feel 1200 01:00:29,827 --> 01:00:34,267 Speaker 2: disengaged by it, disenfranchised. Perhaps no one's forcing you to 1201 01:00:34,347 --> 01:00:38,307 Speaker 2: watch it, Absolutely they're not. I tend to, like I say, 1202 01:00:38,347 --> 01:00:41,987 Speaker 2: focus on what happens on the water. And maybe maybe 1203 01:00:42,307 --> 01:00:44,907 Speaker 2: that's a bit nai even roast, In't it? Not separating 1204 01:00:44,947 --> 01:00:47,227 Speaker 2: myself from what's happening out there on the water with 1205 01:00:47,387 --> 01:00:50,027 Speaker 2: what has happened off the water. However, that's the way 1206 01:00:50,107 --> 01:00:54,987 Speaker 2: I tend to approach it. Hello, Jason, Yeah. 1207 01:00:55,547 --> 01:00:57,467 Speaker 25: I'll tell you where I'm at with first, and I 1208 01:00:57,587 --> 01:00:59,067 Speaker 25: agree with you. I think it's time that we just 1209 01:00:59,147 --> 01:01:03,907 Speaker 25: get them behind. If we you can't be disingenious with us. 1210 01:01:04,227 --> 01:01:06,107 Speaker 25: If everyone just wants to put it a little bit 1211 01:01:06,147 --> 01:01:09,187 Speaker 25: of the pspective around this grunt Dalton thing. If you 1212 01:01:09,267 --> 01:01:13,387 Speaker 25: look at Nias Pretannia one hundred and fifty million dollars 1213 01:01:13,467 --> 01:01:15,547 Speaker 25: they sunk into this campaign, well it might have been 1214 01:01:15,587 --> 01:01:18,387 Speaker 25: a bit more than that. There is no way in 1215 01:01:18,547 --> 01:01:22,507 Speaker 25: God's Earth if Grant Dalton had have left it made 1216 01:01:22,547 --> 01:01:25,547 Speaker 25: the decision to defend it here, going up against a 1217 01:01:25,627 --> 01:01:28,587 Speaker 25: syndicate that through that amount of money in that we 1218 01:01:28,667 --> 01:01:31,707 Speaker 25: would be anywhere close to getting the achievements we got 1219 01:01:31,787 --> 01:01:33,987 Speaker 25: this morning in terms of those two races. I can 1220 01:01:34,027 --> 01:01:37,907 Speaker 25: tell you that now technology costs enormous sums of money. 1221 01:01:37,987 --> 01:01:40,267 Speaker 25: That this is sort of for our this is formula 1222 01:01:40,387 --> 01:01:42,667 Speaker 25: one on the water and people have got to realize 1223 01:01:42,707 --> 01:01:47,067 Speaker 25: that that. Yes, Grant Dalton's polarizing and all that, but 1224 01:01:47,227 --> 01:01:50,467 Speaker 25: he made the decision. I would rather have us over 1225 01:01:50,587 --> 01:01:53,507 Speaker 25: that side of the world and have Emirates Team New 1226 01:01:53,587 --> 01:01:56,147 Speaker 25: Zealand bantered all around the commentary box like we've got 1227 01:01:56,307 --> 01:01:59,147 Speaker 25: this morning for three and a half hours, then have 1228 01:01:59,267 --> 01:02:03,027 Speaker 25: it here and be embarrassed, because that's exactly what would 1229 01:02:03,027 --> 01:02:05,587 Speaker 25: have happened. We did not have the money to put 1230 01:02:05,667 --> 01:02:08,347 Speaker 25: into this camp pain to keep pace with the likes 1231 01:02:08,427 --> 01:02:11,467 Speaker 25: of the syndicates that that you know, we're in the 1232 01:02:11,827 --> 01:02:14,507 Speaker 25: Louis ver Tan and that's where I've gone a little 1233 01:02:14,547 --> 01:02:15,427 Speaker 25: bit full circle on it. 1234 01:02:16,427 --> 01:02:18,947 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jose, I don't think you're alone. I don't think 1235 01:02:18,947 --> 01:02:24,867 Speaker 2: you're alone in that. As I say, much as you 1236 01:02:25,107 --> 01:02:29,107 Speaker 2: can agree or disagree with the decision to defend the 1237 01:02:29,147 --> 01:02:33,307 Speaker 2: America's Cup off shore, the decision has been made. It 1238 01:02:33,427 --> 01:02:35,387 Speaker 2: was made a long time ago. We've known this for 1239 01:02:35,467 --> 01:02:37,907 Speaker 2: a long time and we debated it at the time, 1240 01:02:38,387 --> 01:02:40,347 Speaker 2: and like I say, you're quite within your rights to 1241 01:02:40,427 --> 01:02:45,987 Speaker 2: feel put out, annoyed, disengaged, disenfranchised by the whole thing. 1242 01:02:46,267 --> 01:02:52,587 Speaker 2: That is totally your prerogative. Absolutely it is. But if 1243 01:02:52,627 --> 01:02:54,467 Speaker 2: you focus on what's happening on the water, which I mean, 1244 01:02:54,547 --> 01:02:56,187 Speaker 2: this is a sports show. Yes, I know it's news talks, 1245 01:02:56,227 --> 01:02:58,627 Speaker 2: eb I get that. I know we talk about things 1246 01:02:58,987 --> 01:03:01,387 Speaker 2: wider than just the sport, but this is a sports show, 1247 01:03:01,667 --> 01:03:04,547 Speaker 2: so I would prefer to focus on what's what happens 1248 01:03:04,627 --> 01:03:08,987 Speaker 2: on the water other than what has happened off the water. 1249 01:03:10,427 --> 01:03:12,747 Speaker 2: Just one more comment from Peter Berling. What did they 1250 01:03:12,827 --> 01:03:15,707 Speaker 2: learn about inios in the first two races. I think 1251 01:03:15,747 --> 01:03:17,107 Speaker 2: we know the Brits really well. 1252 01:03:17,987 --> 01:03:20,227 Speaker 23: I think we've seen them perform at a really high 1253 01:03:20,267 --> 01:03:24,267 Speaker 23: level throughout the Leuverton Cup Final. Yeah, today was a 1254 01:03:24,347 --> 01:03:25,907 Speaker 23: so shifting dynamic that if you put it in the 1255 01:03:25,987 --> 01:03:28,387 Speaker 23: right place you gained a lot and if you've got 1256 01:03:28,427 --> 01:03:29,307 Speaker 23: it wrong you lost a lot. 1257 01:03:29,387 --> 01:03:30,387 Speaker 7: And we saw that at times. 1258 01:03:30,507 --> 01:03:33,227 Speaker 23: You know, we had that one little change in the 1259 01:03:33,267 --> 01:03:35,947 Speaker 23: middle of the second race, and we're really pleased with 1260 01:03:35,947 --> 01:03:39,027 Speaker 23: the way minister to take on some complicated options and 1261 01:03:39,107 --> 01:03:39,627 Speaker 23: make it stick. 1262 01:03:39,747 --> 01:03:42,467 Speaker 2: There is Peter Berling. Races three and four, as mentioned, 1263 01:03:42,507 --> 01:03:45,467 Speaker 2: are scheduled for tomorrow morning same time, although, as Chris 1264 01:03:45,547 --> 01:03:47,827 Speaker 2: Reeve mentioned to us when we chatted to him, the 1265 01:03:47,947 --> 01:03:52,347 Speaker 2: wind conditions are the forecast anyway not necessarily conducive to racing. 1266 01:03:52,427 --> 01:03:54,467 Speaker 2: But we'll see what happens when they get back out 1267 01:03:54,507 --> 01:03:57,307 Speaker 2: on the water around one o'clock tomorrow morning. New Zealand time, 1268 01:03:57,627 --> 01:04:02,307 Speaker 2: it's nineteen to two week Sport twenty nine to two. 1269 01:04:02,387 --> 01:04:04,227 Speaker 2: That should be I didn't mean to make your panic 1270 01:04:04,267 --> 01:04:06,347 Speaker 2: that you'd lost ten minutes somewhere twenty nine to two 1271 01:04:06,467 --> 01:04:08,907 Speaker 2: to the first NPC semifinal locked in. 1272 01:04:08,987 --> 01:04:09,747 Speaker 5: The time is up. 1273 01:04:10,147 --> 01:04:13,267 Speaker 26: If he says kick it out, he does, it's over way. 1274 01:04:13,427 --> 01:04:17,307 Speaker 26: Can I have made it to the Bummings and PC 1275 01:04:17,667 --> 01:04:24,027 Speaker 26: semi final in a dramatic game at Yarrow Stadium fifteen fourteen. 1276 01:04:23,827 --> 01:04:27,027 Speaker 2: There White Cuddles upset win over Taranaki last night means 1277 01:04:27,147 --> 01:04:29,587 Speaker 2: the Mulu Men will travel to the capital to take 1278 01:04:29,667 --> 01:04:32,867 Speaker 2: on Wellington Friday night. The other semi will feature Bay 1279 01:04:32,907 --> 01:04:36,587 Speaker 2: of Plenty.

We took it as far and wide around 1313 01:06:03,987 --> 01:06:06,587 Speaker 8: the community as we could, and the reception it was 1314 01:06:06,707 --> 01:06:09,427 Speaker 8: just amazing.

We're try and 1322 01:06:29,587 --> 01:06:32,667 Speaker 8: have confidence in our whole team, so we just probably 1323 01:06:32,707 --> 01:06:35,667 Speaker 8: best to park him up and give the other lads 1324 01:06:35,667 --> 01:06:36,867 Speaker 8: to run fair enough. 1325 01:06:36,907 --> 01:06:38,827 Speaker 2: And I heard Nullah Hotham has spend a bit crock 1326 01:06:38,867 --> 01:06:40,067 Speaker 2: as well. Has he made it to the game. 1327 01:06:41,467 --> 01:06:44,067 Speaker 8: He was on the team list as as far as 1328 01:06:44,427 --> 01:06:46,227 Speaker 8: this morning. I'm not one hundred percent sure they were 1329 01:06:46,227 --> 01:06:47,827 Speaker 8: going to reassess, but yeah, I think he's just got 1330 01:06:47,867 --> 01:06:51,747 Speaker 8: a blue bug or something. All right, Yeah, this is good. 1331 01:06:51,787 --> 01:06:55,107 Speaker 8: But Phil, he's playing excellently. And give me got Mason 1332 01:06:55,187 --> 01:06:59,947 Speaker 8: lun and young Louis Chapman in a half back role. 1333 01:07:00,067 --> 01:07:01,587 Speaker 8: So yeah, we're pretty well covered. 1334 01:07:02,307 --> 01:07:03,627 Speaker 2: He's got a bit of depth there, haven't You got 1335 01:07:03,627 --> 01:07:05,347 Speaker 2: a couple of couple of your blokes from Noah and 1336 01:07:05,387 --> 01:07:08,027 Speaker 2: Findlay heading off with all fifteen of course after the 1337 01:07:08,107 --> 01:07:09,747 Speaker 2: end of the MPC, So I think you're pretty well 1338 01:07:10,027 --> 01:07:13,267 Speaker 2: pretty well served for halfbacks. And David Harvilly presume he's okay, 1339 01:07:13,427 --> 01:07:14,827 Speaker 2: pretty big influence on your site. 1340 01:07:15,707 --> 01:07:18,067 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, look at yeah, he's he's a soldier from 1341 01:07:18,107 --> 01:07:19,947 Speaker 8: way back. Really, you know, he's got many a man 1342 01:07:20,027 --> 01:07:23,387 Speaker 8: or within the squad. Really miss Quinny Strange. 1343 01:07:23,427 --> 01:07:23,747 Speaker 9: That was. 1344 01:07:25,307 --> 01:07:28,227 Speaker 8: Devastating injury for us as a group. But you know 1345 01:07:28,307 --> 01:07:31,307 Speaker 8: he's still floating around and putting his bitter when he can. 1346 01:07:31,627 --> 01:07:34,827 Speaker 8: But you know, to have David back, yeah, we're pretty 1347 01:07:34,827 --> 01:07:35,267 Speaker 8: happy with that. 1348 01:07:36,187 --> 01:07:38,347 Speaker 2: I guess you also know now, Steve, given the fact 1349 01:07:38,387 --> 01:07:40,987 Speaker 2: that Talanacky lost last night, that if you do win 1350 01:07:41,027 --> 01:07:43,867 Speaker 2: this afternoon, it's a home semi against Bay of Plenty. 1351 01:07:43,987 --> 01:07:46,787 Speaker 2: So how much extra motivation will that give to the team? 1352 01:07:47,427 --> 01:07:49,907 Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, the boys. The boys be very very keen 1353 01:07:49,947 --> 01:07:53,547 Speaker 8: to host home semi back and Nelson, So yeah, I'd 1354 01:07:53,587 --> 01:07:55,867 Speaker 8: expect no holds barred and I'll leave it all out 1355 01:07:55,907 --> 01:07:56,627 Speaker 8: on the field today. 1356 01:07:57,587 --> 01:08:00,107 Speaker 2: I reckon. We've always looked at Cannabring and Tasman as 1357 01:08:00,147 --> 01:08:02,707 Speaker 2: sort of a big brother, little brother scenario. But is 1358 01:08:03,627 --> 01:08:06,907 Speaker 2: Tasman now the little brother that's actually better than their 1359 01:08:06,947 --> 01:08:07,347 Speaker 2: big brother? 1360 01:08:08,667 --> 01:08:10,107 Speaker 8: Oh love, God put us on a part of it, 1361 01:08:10,147 --> 01:08:12,307 Speaker 8: and I've got the biggest catchment. I think our programs 1362 01:08:12,307 --> 01:08:14,627 Speaker 8: are very very similar. You know, we run a joint 1363 01:08:14,707 --> 01:08:20,067 Speaker 8: kateemic system. Yeah, look, I don't know. I suppose numbers 1364 01:08:20,267 --> 01:08:23,347 Speaker 8: was we are the little brother, but competitive we where 1365 01:08:24,107 --> 01:08:24,907 Speaker 8: we definitely have a. 1366 01:08:26,427 --> 01:08:28,547 Speaker 2: What sort of crowd you're expecting this afternoon. 1367 01:08:29,507 --> 01:08:31,427 Speaker 8: Hopefully three and a half to four and a. 1368 01:08:31,427 --> 01:08:35,147 Speaker 2: Half A nice nice in PC's been in. PC has 1369 01:08:35,187 --> 01:08:36,467 Speaker 2: been good this year. We had a lot of chat 1370 01:08:36,507 --> 01:08:38,907 Speaker 2: about it on the show yesterday. You know, there's a 1371 01:08:38,947 --> 01:08:41,627 Speaker 2: lot of uncertainty about results. You know, teams have have 1372 01:08:42,307 --> 01:08:44,987 Speaker 2: you know, have punched above their weight and and there's 1373 01:08:44,987 --> 01:08:47,107 Speaker 2: a bit of jeopardy around results. Is that what you're 1374 01:08:47,147 --> 01:08:49,107 Speaker 2: feeling like? It's been a pretty good MPC season. 1375 01:08:49,947 --> 01:08:53,187 Speaker 8: Oh completely, looky, you know the last two games and 1376 01:08:53,827 --> 01:08:55,707 Speaker 8: we can't have shown on anybody can win on any 1377 01:08:55,747 --> 01:08:56,227 Speaker 8: given day. 1378 01:08:56,707 --> 01:08:56,827 Speaker 20: You know. 1379 01:08:56,987 --> 01:08:59,947 Speaker 8: Southland's upset in their last round of the competition showed 1380 01:08:59,987 --> 01:09:02,707 Speaker 8: the same thing. So no, I think it's it's the 1381 01:09:02,867 --> 01:09:06,587 Speaker 8: competition at the moment. It's very very exciting and here 1382 01:09:07,027 --> 01:09:09,787 Speaker 8: be tough. If you're a punter, that's for sure, that's right. 1383 01:09:10,187 --> 01:09:11,987 Speaker 2: I guess you could still host a fight, or couldn't you? 1384 01:09:11,987 --> 01:09:13,947 Speaker 2: All though that would mean that my Wellington team would 1385 01:09:13,947 --> 01:09:15,907 Speaker 2: have to lose. Steve, I'm not going to wish that. 1386 01:09:16,187 --> 01:09:17,947 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna wish that for you, but yeah, I 1387 01:09:17,987 --> 01:09:20,627 Speaker 2: mean you potentially you could if I kind of tip 1388 01:09:20,707 --> 01:09:21,267 Speaker 2: up Wellington. 1389 01:09:22,147 --> 01:09:24,507 Speaker 8: Yeah, correct, potentially we could and then you know that 1390 01:09:24,547 --> 01:09:25,947 Speaker 8: would make it for losing the shields. 1391 01:09:26,907 --> 01:09:28,907 Speaker 2: Good man. I got on your Steve good to chat 1392 01:09:28,947 --> 01:09:30,787 Speaker 2: on match day with you. Made all the best this afternoon, 1393 01:09:31,507 --> 01:09:33,747 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Thank you all the best. Cheers 1394 01:09:33,747 --> 01:09:36,947 Speaker 2: Bye bye. That's Steve Mitchell, CEO of Tasman. Five past 1395 01:09:36,987 --> 01:09:38,907 Speaker 2: two this afternoon, we've got a commentary on gold Sport 1396 01:09:38,947 --> 01:09:42,587 Speaker 2: and iHeartRadio of that one for you. And yeah, if 1397 01:09:42,627 --> 01:09:46,787 Speaker 2: Tasman win, they will host what they will host Bay 1398 01:09:46,867 --> 01:09:51,707 Speaker 2: of Plenty presumably next Saturday night. If it was to 1399 01:09:51,787 --> 01:09:54,707 Speaker 2: be Canterbury who win this afternoon, then they would travel 1400 01:09:54,747 --> 01:09:56,827 Speaker 2: to Todonga to take on Bay of Plenty. So the 1401 01:09:56,867 --> 01:10:00,227 Speaker 2: Steamers know they're there. They've obviously won their quarter final. 1402 01:10:00,347 --> 01:10:03,307 Speaker 2: They made pretty tough work yesterday to be fair against 1403 01:10:03,347 --> 01:10:05,507 Speaker 2: talks maybe got there at the end. They know they're 1404 01:10:05,547 --> 01:10:07,867 Speaker 2: in the quarter the Semis rather, they just need to 1405 01:10:07,987 --> 01:10:10,507 Speaker 2: find out whether they'll be traveling or whether they will 1406 01:10:10,547 --> 01:10:15,507 Speaker 2: be hosting twenty two away from two all over in 1407 01:10:16,147 --> 01:10:19,307 Speaker 2: Vancouver and the Black Ferns have had a really good 1408 01:10:19,347 --> 01:10:24,107 Speaker 2: finish to the season. It's been a disappointing WXV one 1409 01:10:24,147 --> 01:10:26,787 Speaker 2: competition for them. I think they would absolutely accept that. 1410 01:10:26,987 --> 01:10:30,827 Speaker 2: But thirty nine to fourteen they have beat in France 1411 01:10:30,947 --> 01:10:32,907 Speaker 2: thirty nine to fourteen, a really good finish to the 1412 01:10:32,947 --> 01:10:35,507 Speaker 2: Black Ferns season. Let's hope that they can use that 1413 01:10:35,587 --> 01:10:38,627 Speaker 2: as a spring board into next year and a really 1414 01:10:38,667 --> 01:10:41,347 Speaker 2: good build up towards the World Cup next year when 1415 01:10:41,387 --> 01:10:44,547 Speaker 2: they'll defend the title they won. It'll be tough though 1416 01:10:44,747 --> 01:10:47,307 Speaker 2: over in England. I've read that England team is now. 1417 01:10:47,987 --> 01:10:50,267 Speaker 2: I think they've lost one out of fifty games, and 1418 01:10:50,347 --> 01:10:51,947 Speaker 2: that was that World Cup final when they've downed a 1419 01:10:51,947 --> 01:10:56,667 Speaker 2: fourteen after ten minutes. Incredible consistency that England Roses team. 1420 01:10:56,827 --> 01:11:00,707 Speaker 2: They'll be tough to beat at home next year. Let's 1421 01:11:00,707 --> 01:11:02,507 Speaker 2: get a breakaway when we come back. We're off to 1422 01:11:03,107 --> 01:11:06,267 Speaker 2: James mcconi, who joins us in as regular Sunday slot 1423 01:11:07,667 --> 01:11:08,267 Speaker 2: the Big. 1424 01:11:08,187 --> 01:11:12,787 Speaker 1: Issues on and after Fields Call eighty ten eighty Weekend 1425 01:11:12,867 --> 01:11:16,907 Speaker 1: Sport with Jason Fain and GJ.

We'll keep eyes 1428 01:11:22,747 --> 01:11:25,307 Speaker 2: on that for you, as we will on the Bunnings 1429 01:11:25,387 --> 01:11:28,747 Speaker 2: MPC quarterfinal just after two o'clock with Tasman hosting Canterbury 1430 01:11:28,987 --> 01:11:31,147 Speaker 2: in Blenham. James mcconey is here. 1431 01:11:31,227 --> 01:11:34,907 Speaker 9: Hello mate, good a plenty house things, very. 1432 01:11:34,787 --> 01:11:38,267 Speaker 2: Good, couple of good quarterfinals and the Bunnings MPC yesterday. 1433 01:11:38,667 --> 01:11:42,027 Speaker 2: Bay of Plenty nineteen Hawks Bay seventeen. So Bay of 1434 01:11:42,107 --> 01:11:43,347 Speaker 2: Plenty are the real Bay? 1435 01:11:43,827 --> 01:11:44,147 Speaker 20: Are they? 1436 01:11:45,187 --> 01:11:45,347 Speaker 6: Yeah? 1437 01:11:45,387 --> 01:11:48,947 Speaker 9: Apparently they're the real Bay? Sing it you from the 1438 01:11:48,987 --> 01:11:52,987 Speaker 9: mountaintops from Mount Manga Nui. It is they other Bay 1439 01:11:53,187 --> 01:11:56,947 Speaker 9: and two cliffhangers, really, but that one there when you 1440 01:11:57,067 --> 01:11:59,867 Speaker 9: see how good Hawks Bay are in terms of personnel, 1441 01:11:59,907 --> 01:12:03,387 Speaker 9: and obviously Harry Godfrey is scoring an absolute worldy of 1442 01:12:03,467 --> 01:12:06,827 Speaker 9: a try. I saw your tweet saying lock for the 1443 01:12:07,667 --> 01:12:10,707 Speaker 9: number fifteen Jersey for the Canes with Ruben Love at ten, 1444 01:12:10,827 --> 01:12:14,027 Speaker 9: But what about a Switcherroud? What about Godbury at ten 1445 01:12:14,067 --> 01:12:16,387 Speaker 9: where he played all of schoolboy rugby for Want and 1446 01:12:16,427 --> 01:12:17,147 Speaker 9: New Collegiate. 1447 01:12:17,707 --> 01:12:19,747 Speaker 2: You're not the first person to suggest that, James, I 1448 01:12:19,827 --> 01:12:21,627 Speaker 2: must say, after I did tweet that out, people see 1449 01:12:21,627 --> 01:12:25,227 Speaker 2: you and I'll flip them around. Ruben Love obviously has 1450 01:12:25,267 --> 01:12:27,907 Speaker 2: played mainly at fifteen I think, in fact, almost exclusively 1451 01:12:27,987 --> 01:12:30,987 Speaker 2: at fifteen for the Hurricanes. Yeah, I had heard that 1452 01:12:31,067 --> 01:12:33,227 Speaker 2: Harry Godfrey was a fairly handy ten as well. 1453 01:12:34,707 --> 01:12:36,227 Speaker 9: Yeah, so it could go that way. But it was 1454 01:12:36,267 --> 01:12:39,907 Speaker 9: actually good to see the Steamers, you know, just get 1455 01:12:39,947 --> 01:12:42,267 Speaker 9: it done in at home. I love that boutique ground 1456 01:12:42,307 --> 01:12:44,147 Speaker 9: at the Toad and at the main But of course 1457 01:12:44,147 --> 01:12:47,907 Speaker 9: for me Piney big game was Tadanaki versus my Mulus 1458 01:12:48,067 --> 01:12:51,467 Speaker 9: and oh my goodness, just the absolute game of two 1459 01:12:51,547 --> 01:12:54,307 Speaker 9: halves by the way to show on Thursday nights on 1460 01:12:54,867 --> 01:12:57,747 Speaker 9: Sky Open if you're interested. But it's just one of 1461 01:12:57,787 --> 01:13:01,627 Speaker 9: those ones where I thought, Tardanaki, we're going to get that. 1462 01:13:01,787 --> 01:13:03,867 Speaker 9: They just look so strong in the second half and 1463 01:13:04,747 --> 01:13:06,827 Speaker 9: how much it meant to them. Did you see Ricky 1464 01:13:06,907 --> 01:13:10,067 Speaker 9: rica Telli joking back the tears in the postmatch interview. 1465 01:13:10,627 --> 01:13:12,627 Speaker 9: It's awesome to see really that much feeling. 1466 01:13:13,227 --> 01:13:15,787 Speaker 2: I totally agree. I totally agree. And it was a yeah, 1467 01:13:15,827 --> 01:13:17,907 Speaker 2: weird old game was what why I do? Fifteen mill 1468 01:13:17,987 --> 01:13:21,587 Speaker 2: ahead with about thirty minutes to go, but then Toderneckey 1469 01:13:21,627 --> 01:13:23,867 Speaker 2: brought it back to what fifteen fourteen? They were still 1470 01:13:23,947 --> 01:13:26,027 Speaker 2: twenty to go. I actually thought they were going to 1471 01:13:26,107 --> 01:13:27,867 Speaker 2: run over the top of you guys, but no. 1472 01:13:29,347 --> 01:13:32,307 Speaker 9: Well innovative player as well from Barnsey the coach down there, 1473 01:13:32,387 --> 01:13:34,747 Speaker 9: Neil Barnes having two half backs on the field so 1474 01:13:34,787 --> 01:13:37,827 Speaker 9: they could pick and go quicker then or you know, 1475 01:13:37,947 --> 01:13:41,707 Speaker 9: recycle the ball fast. It was incredible stuff. I love 1476 01:13:41,787 --> 01:13:45,267 Speaker 9: to see it. Bradley Slater, who looks like a traditional 1477 01:13:45,307 --> 01:13:48,267 Speaker 9: set of hooker with a little deaf chip and chase. 1478 01:13:48,507 --> 01:13:50,987 Speaker 9: There was just a lot of things happening that were 1479 01:13:51,507 --> 01:13:54,267 Speaker 9: kind of quite strange, but I thought maybe what you 1480 01:13:54,347 --> 01:13:56,547 Speaker 9: could put it down to is Aaron Crude and the 1481 01:13:56,587 --> 01:14:00,507 Speaker 9: old Master running the cutter really nicely and maybe showing 1482 01:14:00,667 --> 01:14:05,027 Speaker 9: Josh Jacob how to sort of win a game against 1483 01:14:05,067 --> 01:14:08,547 Speaker 9: all odds, you know, just controlling the game at number ten. 1484 01:14:09,587 --> 01:14:12,187 Speaker 2: Now, do you stay with me on this analogy? Do 1485 01:14:12,267 --> 01:14:16,027 Speaker 2: you think that Canterbury feel a bit like Nathan McCullum 1486 01:14:16,147 --> 01:14:18,307 Speaker 2: now and that they were a good cricketer growing up, 1487 01:14:18,427 --> 01:14:22,307 Speaker 2: or Nathan was and then their younger brother Brendan came 1488 01:14:22,387 --> 01:14:24,907 Speaker 2: through and just sort of usurped everything you'd done. Do 1489 01:14:24,947 --> 01:14:26,987 Speaker 2: you think Canterbury feel that way about Tasman? 1490 01:14:27,747 --> 01:14:31,387 Speaker 9: Oh good analogy? Yeah, well they must do. But now 1491 01:14:31,627 --> 01:14:33,947 Speaker 9: the problem is when you're a city where you're the 1492 01:14:34,067 --> 01:14:37,147 Speaker 9: home base for another team. I either Crusaders, they succeed 1493 01:14:37,707 --> 01:14:38,427 Speaker 9: so much. 1494 01:14:38,427 --> 01:14:38,827 Speaker 3: You can. 1495 01:14:40,307 --> 01:14:42,427 Speaker 9: It's the danger of just flying under the raidar not 1496 01:14:42,547 --> 01:14:45,067 Speaker 9: actually being noticed, you know, like you could probably win 1497 01:14:45,107 --> 01:14:49,827 Speaker 9: an NPC and only get a smattering of fans around 1498 01:14:50,107 --> 01:14:53,627 Speaker 9: the stadium. So that's probably just living in the shadow 1499 01:14:53,787 --> 01:14:57,347 Speaker 9: of Razor's era with the Crusaders hasn't helped them either, 1500 01:14:57,787 --> 01:14:59,867 Speaker 9: And you know what it's like with Super Rugby. They 1501 01:14:59,987 --> 01:15:03,107 Speaker 9: just get players from wherever, you know, like Raiser used 1502 01:15:03,147 --> 01:15:06,867 Speaker 9: to scour their landscape. Remember feu kam will come on Douglas. 1503 01:15:07,267 --> 01:15:10,147 Speaker 9: Yes it was a White Countil captain. So this is 1504 01:15:10,227 --> 01:15:14,347 Speaker 9: what happens at Super Rugby. And I think the Tasman 1505 01:15:14,427 --> 01:15:19,147 Speaker 9: has really bolstered that Crusaders a region and made them 1506 01:15:19,227 --> 01:15:21,387 Speaker 9: so great, so they can take credit there yet. But 1507 01:15:21,467 --> 01:15:25,347 Speaker 9: it is tough for them because I think every side 1508 01:15:25,467 --> 01:15:28,347 Speaker 9: wants to beat Canterbury because they've been the standard bearer, 1509 01:15:28,467 --> 01:15:29,587 Speaker 9: the benchmark for so long. 1510 01:15:30,227 --> 01:15:32,947 Speaker 2: Indeed, other matters around are black Ferns thirty nine to 1511 01:15:33,027 --> 01:15:35,267 Speaker 2: fourteen winners over France. It's a good end to what's 1512 01:15:35,347 --> 01:15:38,707 Speaker 2: been I think by their standards are fairly mediocre WXV 1513 01:15:38,867 --> 01:15:39,907 Speaker 2: one campaign. 1514 01:15:41,107 --> 01:15:43,467 Speaker 9: Yeah, it has been tough for them and I actually 1515 01:15:43,867 --> 01:15:46,707 Speaker 9: they played really well. To watch them against France just 1516 01:15:46,827 --> 01:15:50,147 Speaker 9: now on that you know, the artificial turf, which is 1517 01:15:50,187 --> 01:15:53,267 Speaker 9: always weird and awkward, but anyway, it was a comfortable 1518 01:15:53,387 --> 01:15:57,107 Speaker 9: within the end. But what I thought was good for 1519 01:15:57,227 --> 01:15:59,187 Speaker 9: them is that they actually got a bit of heat 1520 01:15:59,267 --> 01:16:02,747 Speaker 9: from the media and the public and what that means 1521 01:16:02,787 --> 01:16:05,027 Speaker 9: is that people care about them deeply. You've got to 1522 01:16:05,107 --> 01:16:07,387 Speaker 9: wear that as a badge of honor, because you know 1523 01:16:07,467 --> 01:16:09,947 Speaker 9: what it's like when the callers are just all talking 1524 01:16:09,947 --> 01:16:13,987 Speaker 9: about the All Blacks or the or the Black Caps. 1525 01:16:14,347 --> 01:16:18,467 Speaker 9: But suddenly when people start to take notice and argue 1526 01:16:18,467 --> 01:16:21,427 Speaker 9: about who should be playing ten for the Black Ferns, 1527 01:16:21,507 --> 01:16:24,027 Speaker 9: you know, all they need is to have a really 1528 01:16:24,067 --> 01:16:26,227 Speaker 9: good number eight who's been left out, and maybe for 1529 01:16:26,387 --> 01:16:29,267 Speaker 9: the coach to be scrutinized just as much. And you're 1530 01:16:29,307 --> 01:16:32,387 Speaker 9: getting towards, you know, in the conversation, like the All 1531 01:16:32,427 --> 01:16:33,467 Speaker 9: Blacks so good. 1532 01:16:33,347 --> 01:16:36,547 Speaker 2: On yep, I totally agree. It's engagement, isn't it. You know, 1533 01:16:36,667 --> 01:16:41,067 Speaker 2: it's not getting talked about. Is worse, isn't it? You 1534 01:16:41,107 --> 01:16:44,107 Speaker 2: know if people didn't really care, you know that that's 1535 01:16:44,187 --> 01:16:46,267 Speaker 2: way worse. People are engaged, I think in this team, 1536 01:16:46,307 --> 01:16:48,787 Speaker 2: and that happens at the back end of what twenty 1537 01:16:48,867 --> 01:16:50,467 Speaker 2: twenty two when they won the World Cup, and it 1538 01:16:50,587 --> 01:16:52,467 Speaker 2: has continued and I think we will follow them with 1539 01:16:52,987 --> 01:16:55,707 Speaker 2: great interest next year as they try to, you know, 1540 01:16:55,827 --> 01:16:58,707 Speaker 2: try and win it again America's Cup. How are you 1541 01:16:58,707 --> 01:16:59,987 Speaker 2: feeling about the America's Cup. 1542 01:17:01,387 --> 01:17:04,067 Speaker 9: I'm feeling bullish about it. I'm enjoying the fact that 1543 01:17:04,787 --> 01:17:08,267 Speaker 9: our boat looks quite fast, which is I remember, didn't 1544 01:17:08,267 --> 01:17:10,467 Speaker 9: that happen in San Francisco? Remember that? 1545 01:17:10,627 --> 01:17:16,067 Speaker 6: I still I'm not it was, Yeah, that was. 1546 01:17:16,787 --> 01:17:20,667 Speaker 2: I mean, it has to be one of the I 1547 01:17:20,747 --> 01:17:23,227 Speaker 2: guess the most. I don't even know what the right 1548 01:17:23,267 --> 01:17:25,787 Speaker 2: adjective is, but like eight one ahead and you lose 1549 01:17:25,867 --> 01:17:29,467 Speaker 2: nine to eight, I don't, I don't. Yeah, outrageous is good. 1550 01:17:29,467 --> 01:17:32,067 Speaker 2: I don't know the word choke necessarily because there's no there, 1551 01:17:32,267 --> 01:17:34,427 Speaker 2: no way they were out there, you know, doing the 1552 01:17:34,507 --> 01:17:38,187 Speaker 2: wrong things. It's just yeah, Jimmy Spittle just found a way, 1553 01:17:38,427 --> 01:17:40,747 Speaker 2: found a way. Hey, now next week. I just got 1554 01:17:40,947 --> 01:17:43,627 Speaker 2: word yesterday that I might be doing the show next 1555 01:17:43,667 --> 01:17:47,147 Speaker 2: Saturday from Mount Smart when Auckland FC have their opening 1556 01:17:47,227 --> 01:17:50,747 Speaker 2: game of the of the of their life against Brisbane. 1557 01:17:50,787 --> 01:17:52,067 Speaker 2: Are you going to be along at this game? 1558 01:17:52,987 --> 01:17:55,627 Speaker 9: Look, I can't make it. I'm working at a charity 1559 01:17:55,667 --> 01:17:59,787 Speaker 9: event down in the White Couttle, but I will be 1560 01:18:00,027 --> 01:18:02,867 Speaker 9: following it all the way. I've been at Auckland their 1561 01:18:02,987 --> 01:18:05,387 Speaker 9: c trainings, have been doing stories with the players, have 1562 01:18:05,507 --> 01:18:12,187 Speaker 9: met gjm or May from Uruguay, who is completely perplexed 1563 01:18:12,267 --> 01:18:15,107 Speaker 9: by the unpredictable Auckland weather, and I had to say 1564 01:18:15,147 --> 01:18:18,067 Speaker 9: to him. Sorry, Yemo, it's not going to get much 1565 01:18:18,107 --> 01:18:21,227 Speaker 9: better for you. It's always four seasons in one day 1566 01:18:22,227 --> 01:18:26,307 Speaker 9: for most of the year, so you cannot plan for anything. 1567 01:18:26,387 --> 01:18:29,187 Speaker 9: But look, I've just named another player as well, a 1568 01:18:29,307 --> 01:18:33,107 Speaker 9: Colombian winger called Nada Moreno. I don't know any of 1569 01:18:33,147 --> 01:18:35,587 Speaker 9: these players, Pineyer, I will be honest, Okay, I don't 1570 01:18:35,667 --> 01:18:38,987 Speaker 9: know any of the imports. But just by doing a 1571 01:18:39,027 --> 01:18:41,987 Speaker 9: little bit of research you find that they've actually scoured 1572 01:18:42,027 --> 01:18:45,587 Speaker 9: the globe rather nicely to get those players and to 1573 01:18:45,667 --> 01:18:48,787 Speaker 9: fit with some fairly well established Kiwi names, you know, 1574 01:18:48,907 --> 01:18:53,067 Speaker 9: with Alex Paulson and Gold Tommy Smith, Nando Payneker in 1575 01:18:53,147 --> 01:18:56,627 Speaker 9: the center of defense. So look, there is what you 1576 01:18:56,827 --> 01:19:00,907 Speaker 9: call maybe a spine of Kiwi players. But the biggest 1577 01:19:00,947 --> 01:19:04,387 Speaker 9: signing really is a Japanese player called Horki Sakai, who 1578 01:19:04,427 --> 01:19:07,587 Speaker 9: played in three World Cups, including the upset victory over 1579 01:19:07,707 --> 01:19:10,707 Speaker 9: Germany in the last World Cup, which is a massive boilover. 1580 01:19:10,867 --> 01:19:14,427 Speaker 9: So this guy is a genuine star superstar played for Marseille. 1581 01:19:14,867 --> 01:19:18,907 Speaker 9: So look, they've done quite well and thoroughly enjoy being 1582 01:19:18,947 --> 01:19:23,107 Speaker 9: around Aukland, their sea, and they've even met their answer 1583 01:19:23,187 --> 01:19:26,227 Speaker 9: to yellow fever the fan base known as the Port. 1584 01:19:27,547 --> 01:19:29,467 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing them in action. They've 1585 01:19:29,507 --> 01:19:30,867 Speaker 2: sold out. I think they're going to solve the whole 1586 01:19:30,867 --> 01:19:32,827 Speaker 2: ground out, but they've so they sold out the Port 1587 01:19:32,907 --> 01:19:36,707 Speaker 2: section fairly early. What's their version of shirts off after 1588 01:19:36,787 --> 01:19:38,907 Speaker 2: eighty minutes going to because they can't do the same thing. 1589 01:19:39,027 --> 01:19:40,947 Speaker 2: Have they got their thing or will that? Do you 1590 01:19:41,027 --> 01:19:43,067 Speaker 2: think develop organically as they. 1591 01:19:43,027 --> 01:19:46,467 Speaker 9: Say, I'm assuming it will be pants down, you know. 1592 01:19:46,667 --> 01:19:49,547 Speaker 9: I think that has to be the opposite of the phoenix, 1593 01:19:50,147 --> 01:19:52,387 Speaker 9: so we will see pants on the ground. 1594 01:19:52,467 --> 01:19:52,547 Speaker 13: Now. 1595 01:19:52,547 --> 01:19:53,947 Speaker 9: I don't know piney, I think. 1596 01:19:54,947 --> 01:19:56,347 Speaker 2: But I haven't. 1597 01:19:56,587 --> 01:19:58,947 Speaker 9: Look, I've been writing songs for them. They haven't actually 1598 01:19:58,947 --> 01:20:01,147 Speaker 9: asked me to contribute at all, but you know, I've 1599 01:20:01,267 --> 01:20:03,947 Speaker 9: just thought, hey, look I'm keen to get on the 1600 01:20:04,027 --> 01:20:08,227 Speaker 9: song sheets somehow. And I was thinking, you've got Nando pymakers, 1601 01:20:08,307 --> 01:20:11,707 Speaker 9: So straight away, you know, it's like can you clear 1602 01:20:11,827 --> 01:20:14,867 Speaker 9: the ball pres Nando? You know, like Ebba, you know 1603 01:20:16,307 --> 01:20:20,027 Speaker 9: he was in the air that night the stars were 1604 01:20:20,107 --> 01:20:22,707 Speaker 9: bright and Nando, you know like that kind of thing. 1605 01:20:22,867 --> 01:20:26,867 Speaker 2: You're right, I'm absolutely on board with that sort of thing. 1606 01:20:27,147 --> 01:20:28,747 Speaker 2: Look much as much as I much as I'm a 1607 01:20:28,787 --> 01:20:31,547 Speaker 2: little bit hesitant to endorse anything ever have done. When 1608 01:20:31,547 --> 01:20:34,067 Speaker 2: you put it alongside a football chat, I'm actually on 1609 01:20:34,187 --> 01:20:34,627 Speaker 2: board with it. 1610 01:20:35,707 --> 01:20:37,147 Speaker 9: I know if you're sing it in a tough way, 1611 01:20:37,227 --> 01:20:41,667 Speaker 9: EBBA can be tough. Okay, do it right like a 1612 01:20:41,747 --> 01:20:43,627 Speaker 9: gigser why not? 1613 01:20:44,067 --> 01:20:44,507 Speaker 2: Why not? 1614 01:20:45,067 --> 01:20:45,227 Speaker 13: Hey? 1615 01:20:45,387 --> 01:20:47,147 Speaker 2: Just before you go, do you keep eyes on Major 1616 01:20:47,227 --> 01:20:49,587 Speaker 2: League Baseball? I think it might be getting a little 1617 01:20:49,587 --> 01:20:50,067 Speaker 2: bit interesting. 1618 01:20:51,067 --> 01:20:54,307 Speaker 9: It is getting interesting, and so is American collegiate football 1619 01:20:54,347 --> 01:20:56,907 Speaker 9: allways on America at the moment, because the NBA even 1620 01:20:56,987 --> 01:20:59,067 Speaker 9: starts next week to start to walk on the sea, 1621 01:20:59,107 --> 01:21:02,827 Speaker 9: give well, you know, launch into life. So at the 1622 01:21:02,947 --> 01:21:07,227 Speaker 9: moment that the October, so it's playoffs, and wouldn't it 1623 01:21:07,267 --> 01:21:10,907 Speaker 9: be amazing if it was, if it could be hoctually. 1624 01:21:10,907 --> 01:21:12,947 Speaker 9: I'm not sure of the different leagues, but can you 1625 01:21:13,027 --> 01:21:14,667 Speaker 9: have Yankees Dodges? I'm not sure. 1626 01:21:15,187 --> 01:21:16,547 Speaker 8: Tell me Pioney right now. 1627 01:21:16,667 --> 01:21:20,627 Speaker 9: But there is Shohe Tahanay and Aaron Judge, who are 1628 01:21:20,667 --> 01:21:24,867 Speaker 9: two big stars helping the sport. That is really a 1629 01:21:25,067 --> 01:21:28,387 Speaker 9: bit of a doul drums if you look at the numbers, 1630 01:21:28,427 --> 01:21:31,027 Speaker 9: it hasn't been good for sport. And maybe that's a 1631 01:21:31,107 --> 01:21:34,547 Speaker 9: discussion for another day. And I always say with sport. Well, yeah, 1632 01:21:34,667 --> 01:21:38,067 Speaker 9: there are other interests. People get distracted, kids are gaming, 1633 01:21:38,227 --> 01:21:41,427 Speaker 9: whatever it is. But then I look population wise.

But yeah, 1802 01:30:30,107 --> 01:30:33,187 Speaker 16: againing this back and within range was pretty crucial obviously. 1803 01:30:33,427 --> 01:30:36,467 Speaker 2: Indeed, so sixteen fourteen, you get to eighty minutes, presumably 1804 01:30:36,507 --> 01:30:39,227 Speaker 2: the hooter goes then what because by the looks of 1805 01:30:39,307 --> 01:30:41,507 Speaker 2: this you didn't land the winning penalty into about four 1806 01:30:41,587 --> 01:30:43,867 Speaker 2: or five minutes in, so tell us about the action 1807 01:30:44,027 --> 01:30:44,547 Speaker 2: after the hood. 1808 01:30:45,507 --> 01:30:48,067 Speaker 16: Yeah, so same again, really mate. We just started held 1809 01:30:48,147 --> 01:30:51,147 Speaker 16: onto the ball, went a few phases, got turned over 1810 01:30:51,227 --> 01:30:54,107 Speaker 16: well or twice, and they thankfully kicked it back to us, 1811 01:30:54,187 --> 01:30:58,587 Speaker 16: so we managed to work our way back up the field. Yeah, 1812 01:30:58,707 --> 01:31:00,947 Speaker 16: retaining position kept them under pressure. They gave us a 1813 01:31:00,987 --> 01:31:03,587 Speaker 16: couple of penalties. They gave us one which was about 1814 01:31:03,627 --> 01:31:07,987 Speaker 16: fifty out. Thankfully it wasn't about five meters closer, otherwise 1815 01:31:08,027 --> 01:31:10,427 Speaker 16: he might have lined it up and it would have 1816 01:31:10,467 --> 01:31:12,867 Speaker 16: been a bit touch and go with that win. But yeah, 1817 01:31:12,907 --> 01:31:15,347 Speaker 16: it was about fifty out, so kicked it to the corner. 1818 01:31:15,867 --> 01:31:18,707 Speaker 16: Went a couple more phases off the line out, were 1819 01:31:18,747 --> 01:31:22,107 Speaker 16: lining up with a drop goal, and then they stripped 1820 01:31:22,147 --> 01:31:27,667 Speaker 16: it off reserve hooker and as they stripped it that 1821 01:31:28,147 --> 01:31:30,507 Speaker 16: knocked it on into someone in front of them, so 1822 01:31:30,547 --> 01:31:33,307 Speaker 16: they're actually offside, which they weren't all that happy about 1823 01:31:33,347 --> 01:31:35,027 Speaker 16: with at the time, but just watching it back now. 1824 01:31:34,987 --> 01:31:36,747 Speaker 9: This morning, it was it was the right call from 1825 01:31:36,787 --> 01:31:37,307 Speaker 9: the referee. 1826 01:31:37,387 --> 01:31:39,707 Speaker 16: So yeah, right in front of the sticks on the 1827 01:31:39,827 --> 01:31:42,547 Speaker 16: eighty fourth minute, eighty fifth minute, I think, and tom 1828 01:31:42,627 --> 01:31:44,707 Speaker 16: Reki stepped up with ice in his veins and put 1829 01:31:44,747 --> 01:31:45,467 Speaker 16: it through the sticks. 1830 01:31:45,907 --> 01:31:48,027 Speaker 2: It was pretty handy. I've seen some footage of but 1831 01:31:49,027 --> 01:31:51,587 Speaker 2: I guess it's never secure until it goes through. But 1832 01:31:51,707 --> 01:31:54,747 Speaker 2: it sails through. The whistle goes. What are your emotions? 1833 01:31:56,667 --> 01:31:58,227 Speaker 16: But yeah, I don't know if there's a few videos 1834 01:31:58,267 --> 01:32:02,387 Speaker 16: going around on my emotions starving to keep them in 1835 01:32:02,467 --> 01:32:04,427 Speaker 16: the best of times, but I certainly couldn't just then, 1836 01:32:04,547 --> 01:32:08,547 Speaker 16: So ye elation, make ye absolutely over the moment. It's 1837 01:32:09,267 --> 01:32:10,947 Speaker 16: very difficult to put in the words, and even now 1838 01:32:11,107 --> 01:32:13,427 Speaker 16: just talking about it today, it's you still had to 1839 01:32:13,707 --> 01:32:15,227 Speaker 16: put them into words, really how it feels. 1840 01:32:15,307 --> 01:32:16,467 Speaker 25: But that very cool. 1841 01:32:16,507 --> 01:32:19,587 Speaker 16: We've got to We enjoyed last night, celebrated last night, 1842 01:32:19,627 --> 01:32:21,067 Speaker 16: and you know we've got a job to do this week, 1843 01:32:21,147 --> 01:32:23,747 Speaker 16: to go up to teams and put one on them too. 1844 01:32:24,187 --> 01:32:26,267 Speaker 2: I know hindsight it's a wonderful thing. But going in, 1845 01:32:26,427 --> 01:32:29,227 Speaker 2: did you feel like it could be your day?

Yeah, they're 1853 01:32:48,667 --> 01:32:50,827 Speaker 16: a press aside and to do what they've done, I 1854 01:32:50,867 --> 01:32:53,307 Speaker 16: don't think anyone will have a thirty nine games in 1855 01:32:53,347 --> 01:32:55,587 Speaker 16: a row again, so yeah, to be the ones to 1856 01:32:55,627 --> 01:32:58,187 Speaker 16: do it's pretty special.

We were really light on numbers. 1906 01:34:34,027 --> 01:34:37,627 Speaker 9: Everyone was sorry. 1907 01:34:37,627 --> 01:34:41,587 Speaker 16: I had a pretty long rugby season, so we we 1908 01:34:41,707 --> 01:34:43,827 Speaker 16: went went in there under strength and they probably took 1909 01:34:43,867 --> 01:34:45,387 Speaker 16: us for granted a little bit, but we managed to 1910 01:34:45,427 --> 01:34:47,747 Speaker 16: hold on to a pretty impressive winn a Eastend, which 1911 01:34:47,907 --> 01:34:50,027 Speaker 16: we hadn't done for quite a few years.

At the same time, Thames Valley 1922 01:35:17,067 --> 01:35:20,067 Speaker 2: went to Fonganui and beat them thirty eight fifteen. So 1923 01:35:20,187 --> 01:35:24,027 Speaker 2: the two away teams victorious and the Meads Cup semi 1924 01:35:24,067 --> 01:35:27,267 Speaker 2: finals yesterday. Thames Valley will host Mid Canterbury in the 1925 01:35:27,307 --> 01:35:33,027 Speaker 2: Meads Cup final next Saturday. In the Lahure Cup, these 1926 01:35:33,107 --> 01:35:37,827 Speaker 2: score lines King Country beat East Coast thirty four to 1927 01:35:37,907 --> 01:35:40,987 Speaker 2: thirty one. I guess that's not entirely unusual. But in 1928 01:35:41,107 --> 01:35:44,667 Speaker 2: Leavin yesterday, hot Off a New a Carpitty fifty one 1929 01:35:45,787 --> 01:35:48,027 Speaker 2: West Coast fifty two. 1930 01:35:50,427 --> 01:35:51,347 Speaker 28: Fifty to two. 1931 01:35:51,507 --> 01:35:56,387 Speaker 2: Fifty one West Coast beat hot Off a New a 1932 01:35:56,467 --> 01:36:00,187 Speaker 2: Carpety yesterday.

In fact, so was the 1935 01:36:05,827 --> 01:36:08,027 Speaker 2: Meads Cup. I think both games will be next weekend 1936 01:36:08,667 --> 01:36:10,907 Speaker 2: on one or other of the two days. But yeah, 1937 01:36:11,267 --> 01:36:13,267 Speaker 2: Provincial rugby going through Pining. 1938 01:36:13,347 --> 01:36:16,187 Speaker 29: I believe that fifty one is that the highest ever 1939 01:36:16,307 --> 01:36:20,227 Speaker 29: losing score in Heartland rugby, well have to be Provincial 1940 01:36:20,347 --> 01:36:21,707 Speaker 29: rugby possibly. 1941 01:36:21,627 --> 01:36:23,307 Speaker 2: Magine getting fifty one points in losing. 1942 01:36:23,867 --> 01:36:25,827 Speaker 29: I think it is because I think a few weeks 1943 01:36:25,907 --> 01:36:29,947 Speaker 29: ago actually there were two two games which was sixty 1944 01:36:30,027 --> 01:36:32,507 Speaker 29: points to forty five and then a sixty two to 1945 01:36:32,547 --> 01:36:34,387 Speaker 29: forty five in the same week, and I think forty 1946 01:36:34,467 --> 01:36:39,627 Speaker 29: five equalled the highest ever losing total. So they they 1947 01:36:39,947 --> 01:36:44,427 Speaker 29: really champion attacking rugby in the Heartland game, don't they? 1948 01:36:44,907 --> 01:36:45,187 Speaker 16: They do? 1949 01:36:45,747 --> 01:36:46,187 Speaker 30: They do well. 1950 01:36:46,387 --> 01:36:48,507 Speaker 2: I'm just looking at the scoring in that game and 1951 01:36:50,267 --> 01:36:53,907 Speaker 2: it was fifty two West Coast where he head sorry 1952 01:36:53,987 --> 01:36:56,187 Speaker 2: forty twenty seven at half time. So they had a 1953 01:36:56,227 --> 01:36:58,027 Speaker 2: good lead at half time and got forty points in 1954 01:36:58,067 --> 01:37:00,827 Speaker 2: the first forty minutes, but then hol of a Company 1955 01:37:00,867 --> 01:37:04,107 Speaker 2: came back and hor of New Company led fifty one 1956 01:37:04,267 --> 01:37:07,707 Speaker 2: forty seven when the hooter went but a late late 1957 01:37:07,787 --> 01:37:10,347 Speaker 2: try from West Coast fifty two to fifty one. Good 1958 01:37:10,387 --> 01:37:13,587 Speaker 2: game for the neutral Andy, oh, big time. Absolutely. 1959 01:37:13,627 --> 01:37:14,987 Speaker 29: I would have loved to be at that one, but 1960 01:37:15,467 --> 01:37:17,947 Speaker 29: I think all of I think there was only one 1961 01:37:18,027 --> 01:37:21,427 Speaker 29: favorite that one, Heartland the Heartland semi finals as well 1962 01:37:21,867 --> 01:37:26,627 Speaker 29: yesterday which was King Country, so you know it can go. 1963 01:37:27,747 --> 01:37:30,387 Speaker 29: We sort of talked about Heartland being everyone plays in 1964 01:37:30,467 --> 01:37:33,507 Speaker 29: South Canterbury wins, but it's wide open now, which is 1965 01:37:33,547 --> 01:37:34,227 Speaker 29: great to see him. 1966 01:37:34,227 --> 01:37:34,947 Speaker 2: Provincial rugby. 1967 01:37:35,267 --> 01:37:35,627 Speaker 6: I love it. 1968 01:37:35,867 --> 01:37:38,547 Speaker 2: I love it and yeah, you're right, and we played 1969 01:37:38,587 --> 01:37:40,707 Speaker 2: and in case you missed it, the upset win, I 1970 01:37:40,747 --> 01:37:43,067 Speaker 2: guess you'd say by table position anyway of what cuftal 1971 01:37:43,107 --> 01:37:47,387 Speaker 2: betting Taranaki, Canterbury have just gone twelve mill ahead of 1972 01:37:47,467 --> 01:37:51,067 Speaker 2: Tasman and that would be an upset given their table position. 1973 01:37:51,227 --> 01:37:55,107 Speaker 2: Tasman third, Canterbury sixth, only fourteen minutes gone, but yeah, 1974 01:37:55,347 --> 01:37:59,427 Speaker 2: the jeopardy and the uncertainty continues. In Provincial Rugby two 1975 01:37:59,587 --> 01:38:03,027 Speaker 2: twenty one, it is from Bathurst. Brodieksteki still leads through 1976 01:38:03,067 --> 01:38:04,867 Speaker 2: twenty two of one hundred and sixty one laps brought 1977 01:38:04,867 --> 01:38:09,627 Speaker 2: Fenny's second, Richie Staneways dropped down to fifth, Matt Payne 1978 01:38:09,747 --> 01:38:14,347 Speaker 2: tenth and Andre Holmgartner thirteenth. At the moment when we 1979 01:38:14,467 --> 01:38:16,627 Speaker 2: come back, we're going to flick our attention across to football. 1980 01:38:16,987 --> 01:38:19,467 Speaker 2: One week to go until the New A League's season 1981 01:38:19,547 --> 01:38:23,547 Speaker 2: gets underway.

They take on 1990 01:38:55,267 --> 01:38:58,507 Speaker 2: Brisbane Raw at go Media Mount Smart Stadium five o'clock kickoff. 1991 01:38:58,907 --> 01:39:01,347 Speaker 2: Head coach of Auckland FC is Steve Coricker, who joins 1992 01:39:01,427 --> 01:39:03,667 Speaker 2: US now. Steve six days out from the start of 1993 01:39:03,707 --> 01:39:07,347 Speaker 2: the season, would you say you're where you wanted to be. 1994 01:39:10,027 --> 01:39:12,547 Speaker 21: I think when you start a new club it takes 1995 01:39:12,587 --> 01:39:16,467 Speaker 21: a lot of time. Obviously, players, to bring in staff, 1996 01:39:17,347 --> 01:39:20,747 Speaker 21: just everything. It takes a lot of time. We finally 1997 01:39:20,787 --> 01:39:23,347 Speaker 21: got all our players in so a little bit later 1998 01:39:23,427 --> 01:39:26,987 Speaker 21: than we expected, especially with the foreign players. We had 1999 01:39:27,027 --> 01:39:29,347 Speaker 21: a few come in about three weeks ago and one 2000 01:39:29,547 --> 01:39:34,187 Speaker 21: just arrived this week, so you know, I'd like them 2001 01:39:34,227 --> 01:39:36,667 Speaker 21: to have a little bit more time with the boys. 2002 01:39:36,747 --> 01:39:39,227 Speaker 21: But all in all, I think it's been a very 2003 01:39:39,267 --> 01:39:42,227 Speaker 21: good preseason for us and the boys. Have you really 2004 01:39:42,307 --> 01:39:44,547 Speaker 21: taken on board what we're trying to do and really 2005 01:39:44,587 --> 01:39:47,787 Speaker 21: improved as the season as the pre season went along. 2006 01:39:47,947 --> 01:39:50,067 Speaker 28: So we're happy where we are at the moment. 2007 01:39:50,587 --> 01:39:52,947 Speaker 2: What have been the biggest challenges over the last few 2008 01:39:52,987 --> 01:39:56,387 Speaker 2: months as you've basically built a squad from scratch. 2009 01:39:57,107 --> 01:40:00,787 Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, it's been It's been a real challenge, but 2010 01:40:00,867 --> 01:40:02,947 Speaker 21: a really exciting one. This was part of the reason 2011 01:40:02,947 --> 01:40:05,387 Speaker 21: why I wanted to come here, to be involved in 2012 01:40:05,507 --> 01:40:08,507 Speaker 21: something new and fresh for me obviously being at one 2013 01:40:08,547 --> 01:40:10,947 Speaker 21: club for nineteen years, and to do it with obviously 2014 01:40:11,067 --> 01:40:14,947 Speaker 21: Terram at Flynn and obviously Nick Becker. You know, we 2015 01:40:15,067 --> 01:40:17,947 Speaker 21: started the three of us started very similar as times. 2016 01:40:18,027 --> 01:40:22,107 Speaker 21: And you know we've put together twenty six players, fourteen staff, 2017 01:40:22,227 --> 01:40:25,387 Speaker 21: fifteen fourteen or fifteen staff and obviously now in Knicks 2018 01:40:25,467 --> 01:40:27,587 Speaker 21: team as well in the office staff, there's been twenty 2019 01:40:27,987 --> 01:40:32,547 Speaker 21: twenty staff members so all in what eight nine months really, 2020 01:40:32,787 --> 01:40:35,667 Speaker 21: so I think we've done really well to get to 2021 01:40:35,747 --> 01:40:38,827 Speaker 21: where we are. Obviously, now is the time that for 2022 01:40:39,667 --> 01:40:41,947 Speaker 21: the football side of things is where we where we 2023 01:40:42,067 --> 01:40:44,187 Speaker 21: start and you know, we want to obviously get off 2024 01:40:44,227 --> 01:40:46,707 Speaker 21: to a good start against Brisbane and get three points 2025 01:40:46,787 --> 01:40:48,987 Speaker 21: and there's a lot of talk that it might be 2026 01:40:49,147 --> 01:40:50,987 Speaker 21: sold out the stadium, which is. 2027 01:40:50,987 --> 01:40:53,307 Speaker 27: Obviously fantastic for our first game and. 2028 01:40:53,667 --> 01:40:57,027 Speaker 28: It just shows the support that you know, we will 2029 01:40:57,067 --> 01:40:58,267 Speaker 28: have here if we do really well. 2030 01:40:58,787 --> 01:41:02,947 Speaker 2: By my account, Steve, eighteen of your twenty six kiwis 2031 01:41:03,267 --> 01:41:04,347 Speaker 2: how intentional was that? 2032 01:41:05,667 --> 01:41:07,347 Speaker 27: Yeah, well that is a bit of a brief from 2033 01:41:07,387 --> 01:41:08,067 Speaker 27: the owner as well. 2034 01:41:08,107 --> 01:41:12,587 Speaker 21: He wanted as many key players as possible, you know, 2035 01:41:12,947 --> 01:41:15,227 Speaker 21: he wants to give them opportunities you know, and I 2036 01:41:15,307 --> 01:41:18,267 Speaker 21: think with the wider group that that he does own 2037 01:41:18,387 --> 01:41:21,947 Speaker 21: other football clubs, he wants to give them opportunities obviously 2038 01:41:22,027 --> 01:41:23,987 Speaker 21: to do well here in Auckland and then if they 2039 01:41:24,347 --> 01:41:27,267 Speaker 21: are really good, well then they can move to to 2040 01:41:27,427 --> 01:41:29,947 Speaker 21: another club that you know that he owns. That's you know, 2041 01:41:30,067 --> 01:41:33,627 Speaker 21: that's he wants to. He loves New Zealand, He's spoken 2042 01:41:33,667 --> 01:41:36,787 Speaker 21: about it before. He has obviously restaurants and bars here 2043 01:41:36,867 --> 01:41:39,747 Speaker 21: and wineries and you know, he really likes it here. 2044 01:41:39,907 --> 01:41:42,867 Speaker 21: So he wants to give opportunities for young Kiwi players 2045 01:41:42,907 --> 01:41:43,867 Speaker 21: to come through. 2046 01:41:44,547 --> 01:41:46,267 Speaker 2: You've watched a bit of our national league, quite a 2047 01:41:46,307 --> 01:41:49,067 Speaker 2: bit of national league to bring some players on board, 2048 01:41:49,107 --> 01:41:52,227 Speaker 2: be it full time or scholarship players. When you're watching 2049 01:41:52,547 --> 01:41:55,867 Speaker 2: New Zealand's National League for players you might recruit, what 2050 01:41:55,987 --> 01:41:58,387 Speaker 2: are you specifically looking for to give you comfort that 2051 01:41:58,467 --> 01:41:59,987 Speaker 2: they can make the step up to a league? 2052 01:42:00,987 --> 01:42:03,347 Speaker 21: Well, I think, you know, we sort of look at 2053 01:42:03,387 --> 01:42:06,027 Speaker 21: the positions that we were looking for at the time, 2054 01:42:06,347 --> 01:42:11,507 Speaker 21: and you know, in the position is obviously a certain 2055 01:42:11,547 --> 01:42:13,947 Speaker 21: criteria that we are looking for. You know, as a winger, 2056 01:42:14,027 --> 01:42:15,627 Speaker 21: we want them to be able to dribble, We want 2057 01:42:15,667 --> 01:42:17,267 Speaker 21: them to be able to score goals. We want them 2058 01:42:17,427 --> 01:42:19,667 Speaker 21: to create opportunities to be able to. 2059 01:42:19,667 --> 01:42:22,707 Speaker 27: Cross the ball. So there's all different things for different positions. 2060 01:42:23,947 --> 01:42:26,987 Speaker 27: I was quite surprised actually because obviously. 2061 01:42:26,667 --> 01:42:29,987 Speaker 21: Coming here, I didn't know too much about the well, 2062 01:42:30,627 --> 01:42:33,707 Speaker 21: the Northern League which we we got most of our players. 2063 01:42:33,427 --> 01:42:35,667 Speaker 27: From, and then obviously they've gone into the National League. 2064 01:42:35,747 --> 01:42:39,707 Speaker 21: Now I was surprised with the standard and some really 2065 01:42:39,787 --> 01:42:42,267 Speaker 21: good talented young players I think you're going to see 2066 01:42:42,347 --> 01:42:45,307 Speaker 21: come through that and into our squad and I think, 2067 01:42:46,307 --> 01:42:48,587 Speaker 21: you know, we've we've got quite a number of players 2068 01:42:48,627 --> 01:42:50,547 Speaker 21: that haven't played in the A League before and they've 2069 01:42:50,667 --> 01:42:54,867 Speaker 21: come from obviously the Northern League, and I'm excited to 2070 01:42:54,947 --> 01:42:56,107 Speaker 21: see what they're going to do. 2071 01:42:57,467 --> 01:42:58,467 Speaker 28: Give it the opportunity. 2072 01:42:59,107 --> 01:43:00,947 Speaker 2: Well that's your New Zealanders, and of course you've got 2073 01:43:01,187 --> 01:43:04,067 Speaker 2: a sprinkling of Australians as well. But what about the imports, Steve, 2074 01:43:04,147 --> 01:43:08,147 Speaker 2: you must have literally one hundred of players pitched to you. 2075 01:43:08,627 --> 01:43:10,307 Speaker 2: How do you narrow that list down and then make 2076 01:43:10,387 --> 01:43:12,147 Speaker 2: your recruitment decisions about your imports? 2077 01:43:13,627 --> 01:43:15,347 Speaker 9: Yeah, you know they come from everywhere. 2078 01:43:15,427 --> 01:43:18,187 Speaker 28: Agents, you know, send a lot of players. We just 2079 01:43:18,267 --> 01:43:21,307 Speaker 28: got to filter through. Obviously we have a criteria that 2080 01:43:21,387 --> 01:43:25,307 Speaker 28: we look for it as well. You know it does 2081 01:43:25,387 --> 01:43:28,507 Speaker 28: cause he's ahead of recruiting as well. 2082 01:43:29,547 --> 01:43:31,747 Speaker 21: We have platforms that we work through as well that 2083 01:43:31,827 --> 01:43:34,147 Speaker 21: we get players sent through, and you know, it's just 2084 01:43:34,267 --> 01:43:37,947 Speaker 21: a process and that's that's why it's probably taken a 2085 01:43:38,027 --> 01:43:41,227 Speaker 21: little bit longer than expected. But you know, when when 2086 01:43:41,267 --> 01:43:44,627 Speaker 21: you're dealing with twenty six players, you know you expect that. 2087 01:43:44,787 --> 01:43:47,427 Speaker 21: But the foreigners normally come later than everyone else. But 2088 01:43:47,747 --> 01:43:50,587 Speaker 21: for me, they probably come. You know, it's taken us 2089 01:43:50,587 --> 01:43:52,347 Speaker 21: a little bit more time to get them once. Let's 2090 01:43:52,427 --> 01:43:54,587 Speaker 21: let's say that with visas and all that kind of 2091 01:43:54,667 --> 01:43:57,387 Speaker 21: stuff as well. You know we need visas from Australia 2092 01:43:57,547 --> 01:43:59,907 Speaker 21: and New Zealand, not just from one country. 2093 01:43:59,707 --> 01:44:00,987 Speaker 27: So it takes time. 2094 01:44:01,147 --> 01:44:05,027 Speaker 21: But we're pleased with the foreigners that we have, and 2095 01:44:05,347 --> 01:44:07,787 Speaker 21: you know, the ones that have been playing, you can 2096 01:44:07,827 --> 01:44:08,187 Speaker 21: see them. 2097 01:44:08,227 --> 01:44:10,027 Speaker 28: Obviously they weren't fit when they got here. 2098 01:44:10,467 --> 01:44:12,987 Speaker 21: They've been here three weeks and you know they're starting 2099 01:44:13,027 --> 01:44:14,707 Speaker 21: to step it up now, which is which is great. 2100 01:44:14,787 --> 01:44:16,867 Speaker 27: Ready for the ready for the start of the season. 2101 01:44:17,267 --> 01:44:18,907 Speaker 2: What have you looked to try to achieve in your 2102 01:44:18,947 --> 01:44:19,907 Speaker 2: preseason matches. 2103 01:44:21,707 --> 01:44:24,187 Speaker 21: Well, we wanted to obviously play against A League teams 2104 01:44:24,227 --> 01:44:27,347 Speaker 21: which you know, we had to go to Australia for that, 2105 01:44:27,467 --> 01:44:30,987 Speaker 21: which was fantastic for us to have of the opportunity 2106 01:44:31,067 --> 01:44:35,187 Speaker 21: to go to Sydney. We played against I think it 2107 01:44:35,307 --> 01:44:38,547 Speaker 21: was three teams in Sydney. That was our first taste 2108 01:44:38,587 --> 01:44:41,787 Speaker 21: of a league and then obviously we went to Melbourne. 2109 01:44:41,827 --> 01:44:45,147 Speaker 21: We played against belburd City, Wes the Annoyed. So we've 2110 01:44:45,187 --> 01:44:47,907 Speaker 21: see now you know, five teams of the A League 2111 01:44:48,387 --> 01:44:51,387 Speaker 21: where we had to improve and where we were and 2112 01:44:52,387 --> 01:44:54,027 Speaker 21: at that stage where we didn't have any of the. 2113 01:44:54,067 --> 01:44:59,267 Speaker 28: Foreigners, so we competed really well. I think, you know, 2114 01:44:59,347 --> 01:45:01,707 Speaker 28: the boys should be happy where we are at the moment. 2115 01:45:01,867 --> 01:45:04,547 Speaker 27: You know, we played Malaysia, that. 2116 01:45:04,827 --> 01:45:09,347 Speaker 21: Asian national team yesterday and really had a fantastic performance. 2117 01:45:09,467 --> 01:45:12,707 Speaker 21: So you know, we're building, we're getting better, which we 2118 01:45:12,827 --> 01:45:15,747 Speaker 21: as we expect from a new team. We expect to 2119 01:45:15,747 --> 01:45:18,627 Speaker 21: get better each game and improve as the season goes along. 2120 01:45:19,067 --> 01:45:20,387 Speaker 2: Have you decided on your captain? 2121 01:45:23,107 --> 01:45:24,307 Speaker 28: I have, yes, It'll be. 2122 01:45:24,547 --> 01:45:28,907 Speaker 21: Probably named next week, so the start of the season 2123 01:45:30,267 --> 01:45:34,067 Speaker 21: we'll announce that.

But 2134 01:45:55,947 --> 01:45:57,867 Speaker 21: to be honest with you, I think my focus is 2135 01:45:57,947 --> 01:46:01,467 Speaker 21: on one game, the Brisbane game only, and you know 2136 01:46:01,587 --> 01:46:02,587 Speaker 21: we've got a bit of work to do. 2137 01:46:02,787 --> 01:46:04,307 Speaker 27: This week on Brisbane. 2138 01:46:04,387 --> 01:46:07,707 Speaker 21: You know they're a good young team and they have 2139 01:46:07,787 --> 01:46:10,067 Speaker 21: a lot of pace as well, so you know we 2140 01:46:10,147 --> 01:46:13,547 Speaker 21: will work only on Brisbane. And then obviously myself I 2141 01:46:13,627 --> 01:46:15,787 Speaker 21: have in the back of my head obviously Sydney and 2142 01:46:15,907 --> 01:46:19,227 Speaker 21: well Eaton and what we need to get ready for them, 2143 01:46:19,347 --> 01:46:21,667 Speaker 21: But right now it's mainly the Brisbane game. 2144 01:46:21,747 --> 01:46:21,947 Speaker 13: Yeah. 2145 01:46:21,947 --> 01:46:24,307 Speaker 2: Well, I'm hearing the same things you are about next Saturday, Steve. 2146 01:46:24,547 --> 01:46:27,307 Speaker 2: A sellout and coming at Mount Smart sounds like semi 2147 01:46:27,347 --> 01:46:29,387 Speaker 2: and wonderful occasion.

Be interesting to see who 2153 01:46:40,987 --> 01:46:43,547 Speaker 2: their captain is. I get the feeling it could be 2154 01:46:43,627 --> 01:46:49,147 Speaker 2: Hiroki Sakai. They're highly experienced Japanese defender. I don't know 2155 01:46:49,227 --> 01:46:51,987 Speaker 2: anything more than I'm just having a guess. There are 2156 01:46:52,027 --> 01:46:53,787 Speaker 2: a couple of other candidates, but I wonder whether he 2157 01:46:53,867 --> 01:46:55,787 Speaker 2: might get the armband. I guess we'll find out in 2158 01:46:55,947 --> 01:46:59,467 Speaker 2: due course. Jiankloa Teliano, Phoenix head coach.

Canterbury nineteen knill ahead of Tasman. 2163 01:47:16,667 --> 01:47:19,427 Speaker 2: Bay of Plenty will be enjoying that. If Canterbury win, 2164 01:47:19,507 --> 01:47:22,627 Speaker 2: Bay of Plenty will host Canterbury in the semi final. 2165 01:47:23,187 --> 01:47:26,787 Speaker 2: If it's Tasman who can turn this deficit around and 2166 01:47:26,827 --> 01:47:28,627 Speaker 2: win the game, then it'll be Tasman who hosts Bay 2167 01:47:28,627 --> 01:47:31,267 Speaker 2: of plenty the Steamers, No, they're there.

Wellington Phoenix have their first game a 2178 01:47:58,707 --> 01:48:01,987 Speaker 2: week today Sky Stadium and Wellington. They take on Western 2179 01:48:02,107 --> 01:48:04,827 Speaker 2: United with a four o'clock kick off off the back 2180 01:48:04,907 --> 01:48:09,267 Speaker 2: of their best ever season last season under head coach 2181 01:48:09,427 --> 01:48:12,387 Speaker 2: Jim Caloertaliana. I caught up with him on Friday and 2182 01:48:12,467 --> 01:48:15,987 Speaker 2: asked how he would compare how he's feeling now compared 2183 01:48:16,027 --> 01:48:18,467 Speaker 2: to how he felt a week out from last season. 2184 01:48:19,707 --> 01:48:20,347 Speaker 7: Quite different. 2185 01:48:21,187 --> 01:48:24,547 Speaker 14: I would say that last season, you know, there was 2186 01:48:24,547 --> 01:48:27,147 Speaker 14: a lot of question marks in terms of me being 2187 01:48:27,187 --> 01:48:29,507 Speaker 14: a head coach, what direction I was taking the club. 2188 01:48:30,907 --> 01:48:33,307 Speaker 14: I think where we're at this season now is where 2189 01:48:34,427 --> 01:48:38,627 Speaker 14: the direction is quite clear, and the uncertainty about myself, 2190 01:48:38,747 --> 01:48:41,027 Speaker 14: you know, I don't think exists. I think it's more 2191 01:48:41,067 --> 01:48:45,667 Speaker 14: about now dealing with expectations for built on what happened 2192 01:48:46,027 --> 01:48:46,627 Speaker 14: last season. 2193 01:48:47,547 --> 01:48:48,627 Speaker 7: That's been very difficult. 2194 01:48:48,747 --> 01:48:49,347 Speaker 8: And I think. 2195 01:48:50,867 --> 01:48:53,947 Speaker 7: As well, we've had the very sort of. 2196 01:48:56,227 --> 01:48:59,467 Speaker 14: Unstructured sort of I wouldn't say chaotic, but close to 2197 01:48:59,627 --> 01:49:02,787 Speaker 14: it sort of pre season because of all the international 2198 01:49:02,907 --> 01:49:06,147 Speaker 14: breaks and the players coming back into the environment and 2199 01:49:06,587 --> 01:49:08,987 Speaker 14: just you know, signing a bunch of new players as well, 2200 01:49:09,107 --> 01:49:11,427 Speaker 14: getting them integrated into the way we want to play 2201 01:49:11,547 --> 01:49:13,387 Speaker 14: and building team chemistry. 2202 01:49:13,467 --> 01:49:14,987 Speaker 7: So from that point it's been difficult. 2203 01:49:15,067 --> 01:49:20,027 Speaker 14: But you know, we've had three games against now A 2204 01:49:20,187 --> 01:49:21,907 Speaker 14: League opponents have been quite promising. 2205 01:49:22,827 --> 01:49:26,467 Speaker 2: How have you negotiated that uncertainty you call it chaos, 2206 01:49:26,547 --> 01:49:29,507 Speaker 2: but that unstructured build up, how have you managed to 2207 01:49:29,827 --> 01:49:31,747 Speaker 2: negotiate that to the best your ability and get your 2208 01:49:31,747 --> 01:49:32,987 Speaker 2: team ready for week one? 2209 01:49:33,427 --> 01:49:36,787 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been a fine balancing act. Like the thing 2210 01:49:36,907 --> 01:49:37,347 Speaker 7: for me is. 2211 01:49:38,907 --> 01:49:41,547 Speaker 14: The most important thing is the player welfare. And once 2212 01:49:41,627 --> 01:49:43,347 Speaker 14: we finished the season, I felt it was a really 2213 01:49:43,387 --> 01:49:45,987 Speaker 14: good time for a lot of those boys to actually 2214 01:49:46,027 --> 01:49:48,587 Speaker 14: take some time off Unfortunately, they had the Oversea Nations 2215 01:49:48,627 --> 01:49:50,467 Speaker 14: Cup and we're away in camp for about a month 2216 01:49:51,787 --> 01:49:55,627 Speaker 14: and I had to make a conscious effort or sorry, 2217 01:49:55,707 --> 01:50:00,747 Speaker 14: conscious decision once they finish what I was going to 2218 01:50:00,827 --> 01:50:03,067 Speaker 14: do with them in terms of like we are we 2219 01:50:03,147 --> 01:50:07,107 Speaker 14: going to prioritize the Australia Cup and what the actual 2220 01:50:07,147 --> 01:50:09,907 Speaker 14: preseason looked like. So I made a decision and that 2221 01:50:10,067 --> 01:50:11,747 Speaker 14: they merit it to have some time off, which I 2222 01:50:11,787 --> 01:50:15,027 Speaker 14: think is very very important, and so we made a 2223 01:50:15,107 --> 01:50:18,707 Speaker 14: decision to rest those senior boys for longer periods. Then 2224 01:50:18,747 --> 01:50:20,947 Speaker 14: we also had the Olympics and the Under twenties qualifiers 2225 01:50:20,947 --> 01:50:24,627 Speaker 14: are kind of also jolted the ability of those younger 2226 01:50:24,667 --> 01:50:28,267 Speaker 14: boys that be available for the Australia Cup game. So 2227 01:50:28,587 --> 01:50:30,507 Speaker 14: it was a fine balancing act. It was more about 2228 01:50:30,827 --> 01:50:33,947 Speaker 14: getting the right cohesion. But to be fair, I would 2229 01:50:33,987 --> 01:50:37,347 Speaker 14: say that the young boys, especially in the Australia Cup, 2230 01:50:37,387 --> 01:50:38,867 Speaker 14: it was a very young team that went out there. 2231 01:50:38,907 --> 01:50:41,627 Speaker 14: We had even though like Marco, when Cossa came off 2232 01:50:41,707 --> 01:50:45,467 Speaker 14: the bench, I was actually quite pleased because we had 2233 01:50:45,587 --> 01:50:48,507 Speaker 14: I think essentially one session with all the boys available. 2234 01:50:48,867 --> 01:50:51,267 Speaker 14: But we had a large chunk of those young boys 2235 01:50:51,347 --> 01:50:54,227 Speaker 14: in pre season and they were pretty good, I thought, 2236 01:50:54,307 --> 01:50:56,507 Speaker 14: you know, for a large part, you know, southmol we 2237 01:50:56,547 --> 01:50:58,667 Speaker 14: were in there in the end part of their season 2238 01:50:58,747 --> 01:51:00,147 Speaker 14: and you know that was our first hit out. We 2239 01:51:00,147 --> 01:51:02,027 Speaker 14: didn't even have a friendly game to be fair between 2240 01:51:02,067 --> 01:51:02,547 Speaker 14: old groups. 2241 01:51:03,787 --> 01:51:07,627 Speaker 7: But I was very happy. And again, you know, like 2242 01:51:07,827 --> 01:51:08,307 Speaker 7: even though. 2243 01:51:08,227 --> 01:51:10,507 Speaker 14: We look at them as problems, or we could view 2244 01:51:10,507 --> 01:51:12,347 Speaker 14: them as problems, they are actually opportunity for us to 2245 01:51:13,027 --> 01:51:16,267 Speaker 14: refocus on what processes we put in for training and 2246 01:51:16,347 --> 01:51:16,507 Speaker 14: so on. 2247 01:51:16,707 --> 01:51:18,747 Speaker 7: So it's been, it's been, it's been good. 2248 01:51:18,827 --> 01:51:22,227 Speaker 2: On the flip side, how different will the playing style 2249 01:51:22,267 --> 01:51:25,067 Speaker 2: of Wellington Phoenix be this season compared to last season? 2250 01:51:25,147 --> 01:51:27,707 Speaker 2: What is the evolution of the side into season two 2251 01:51:28,307 --> 01:51:29,947 Speaker 2: under your guidance? 2252 01:51:31,947 --> 01:51:35,747 Speaker 7: Look until you see it's it's you know, these are 2253 01:51:35,827 --> 01:51:36,347 Speaker 7: just words. 2254 01:51:37,707 --> 01:51:39,987 Speaker 14: But when I took over the team last year, I 2255 01:51:40,067 --> 01:51:44,187 Speaker 14: knew the capability of the existing players and I basically 2256 01:51:44,267 --> 01:51:48,987 Speaker 14: evolved the plague system to best suit the playing attributes 2257 01:51:49,027 --> 01:51:53,147 Speaker 14: of those players. So you know, obviously, when Oz got injured, 2258 01:51:53,227 --> 01:51:57,227 Speaker 14: you know, I readapted to a different sort of style. 2259 01:51:58,067 --> 01:52:00,907 Speaker 14: And then when I had Baldy Costa and Oldie or 2260 01:52:01,027 --> 01:52:04,147 Speaker 14: Crative up top, you know, I worked to what their 2261 01:52:04,187 --> 01:52:08,587 Speaker 14: main you know what the skill set like, for example, 2262 01:52:08,667 --> 01:52:12,187 Speaker 14: speed coming off the line, you know, playing with their 2263 01:52:12,227 --> 01:52:15,787 Speaker 14: back to goal. So this season is a little bit 2264 01:52:15,827 --> 01:52:20,427 Speaker 14: different where we're kind of you know, we've sold some 2265 01:52:20,627 --> 01:52:23,147 Speaker 14: good players, some of those senior players that have left 2266 01:52:23,187 --> 01:52:25,467 Speaker 14: of someone have given me the opportunity to bring in 2267 01:52:25,507 --> 01:52:26,427 Speaker 14: players more aligned to the. 2268 01:52:26,427 --> 01:52:28,667 Speaker 7: Way I like to or the way I like to 2269 01:52:28,707 --> 01:52:29,307 Speaker 7: see football. 2270 01:52:29,787 --> 01:52:31,987 Speaker 14: And for me, you know that that's more of the 2271 01:52:32,027 --> 01:52:34,507 Speaker 14: ball being more dominant with the ball, having control, with 2272 01:52:34,627 --> 01:52:37,427 Speaker 14: more of the ball in high parts of the pitch, 2273 01:52:38,907 --> 01:52:41,827 Speaker 14: and probably a little bit cliche, you know, like a 2274 01:52:42,307 --> 01:52:46,787 Speaker 14: ball orientated team, you know, possession team, so but also 2275 01:52:46,907 --> 01:52:50,627 Speaker 14: still center around the ideas of control and being very 2276 01:52:50,667 --> 01:52:51,747 Speaker 14: smart in all phases. 2277 01:52:51,867 --> 01:52:54,107 Speaker 7: So we'll still have that to build on. 2278 01:52:54,427 --> 01:52:57,027 Speaker 14: But you'll see that, you know, we'll have a different dynamic, 2279 01:52:57,187 --> 01:53:01,027 Speaker 14: especially in the front third, middle third. Hopefully you see 2280 01:53:01,107 --> 01:53:03,587 Speaker 14: a bit more pressing actions, so we will be a 2281 01:53:03,627 --> 01:53:06,067 Speaker 14: little bit high up the park, trying to have windows 2282 01:53:06,107 --> 01:53:08,947 Speaker 14: where we're trying to regain the bore at a high 2283 01:53:08,987 --> 01:53:12,747 Speaker 14: intensity for longer period. So everything we've done so far 2284 01:53:12,867 --> 01:53:16,667 Speaker 14: in the preseasons has been ticking over really nicely. There's 2285 01:53:16,707 --> 01:53:19,907 Speaker 14: been a nice dynamic and feel to the way we're playing. 2286 01:53:20,987 --> 01:53:24,547 Speaker 14: But like with all things, you know, different mentalities. You're 2287 01:53:24,547 --> 01:53:26,987 Speaker 14: trying to break old habits, you're trying to break behaviors 2288 01:53:27,027 --> 01:53:29,507 Speaker 14: that you know, we're instilled in the boys last year 2289 01:53:29,707 --> 01:53:33,587 Speaker 14: and trying to further develop so or evolve, and it's 2290 01:53:34,267 --> 01:53:35,507 Speaker 14: it has its challenges. 2291 01:53:36,227 --> 01:53:38,347 Speaker 7: You know, we've had three games that we haven't scored. 2292 01:53:38,787 --> 01:53:40,827 Speaker 14: But if I told you we had more opportunities in 2293 01:53:40,907 --> 01:53:42,947 Speaker 14: those last three games, and we did probably in half 2294 01:53:42,987 --> 01:53:45,347 Speaker 14: of the season last year, you'd think we're crazy. You know, 2295 01:53:45,427 --> 01:53:48,067 Speaker 14: it's just a matter of like finding you know, that 2296 01:53:48,267 --> 01:53:52,427 Speaker 14: last pass or that feel, and yeah, if I had 2297 01:53:52,507 --> 01:53:54,747 Speaker 14: gone into these games will come out of these games 2298 01:53:54,787 --> 01:53:58,467 Speaker 14: where we had less chances and we weren't getting to 2299 01:53:58,547 --> 01:53:59,027 Speaker 14: it we need. 2300 01:53:59,027 --> 01:54:02,147 Speaker 7: It, I'd be worried right now. But I just for me, 2301 01:54:02,267 --> 01:54:03,507 Speaker 7: it's like, I think we need one. 2302 01:54:03,507 --> 01:54:07,827 Speaker 14: Or two games where we take effect and you know, 2303 01:54:08,547 --> 01:54:10,347 Speaker 14: score a couple of goals and build the confidence of 2304 01:54:10,387 --> 01:54:12,227 Speaker 14: the boys, and then I think we'll hit the ground running. 2305 01:54:12,987 --> 01:54:15,147 Speaker 2: Was there any temptation given the fact that last season 2306 01:54:15,307 --> 01:54:18,107 Speaker 2: was so successful, even though it wasn't exactly the football 2307 01:54:18,147 --> 01:54:20,667 Speaker 2: that you envisaged that you want to play, was there 2308 01:54:20,707 --> 01:54:22,907 Speaker 2: any temptation just to lock and load it again and 2309 01:54:23,027 --> 01:54:23,867 Speaker 2: play the same way. 2310 01:54:24,707 --> 01:54:31,827 Speaker 14: Yeah, I think the problem when like if you take 2311 01:54:31,907 --> 01:54:36,387 Speaker 14: a step back and you see the you look at 2312 01:54:36,387 --> 01:54:38,627 Speaker 14: the legacy team. So I'll call legacy teams teams like 2313 01:54:38,787 --> 01:54:41,547 Speaker 14: especially in football, like a Barcelona twenty ten. You know 2314 01:54:41,587 --> 01:54:45,267 Speaker 14: that we had three years under Pep where even though 2315 01:54:45,427 --> 01:54:48,627 Speaker 14: they started with a certain style, they evolved every year. 2316 01:54:48,747 --> 01:54:51,427 Speaker 14: And then when Pep went to Bayern Munich, he changed 2317 01:54:51,427 --> 01:54:54,627 Speaker 14: his style because he was suited more towards the German game, 2318 01:54:55,147 --> 01:54:57,067 Speaker 14: more about you know, curbing the counter attack. 2319 01:54:57,107 --> 01:54:58,907 Speaker 7: And then when he went to the EPIL, you change 2320 01:54:58,947 --> 01:54:59,267 Speaker 7: as well. 2321 01:54:59,987 --> 01:55:02,507 Speaker 14: He had inverted full backs, he had you know, sixer 2322 01:55:02,547 --> 01:55:07,227 Speaker 14: stepping ins tens, and he completely different dynamic. And that's 2323 01:55:07,267 --> 01:55:09,307 Speaker 14: the running theme like with any team that you see, 2324 01:55:09,307 --> 01:55:11,947 Speaker 14: even Fergie when it was at United, even though he 2325 01:55:12,027 --> 01:55:14,907 Speaker 14: had an idea of how we played structurally and tactically, 2326 01:55:14,907 --> 01:55:18,347 Speaker 14: it always evolved, you know, different, different nuanced things that 2327 01:55:18,867 --> 01:55:21,067 Speaker 14: always changed. I think, you know, we're no different. So 2328 01:55:21,747 --> 01:55:23,347 Speaker 14: if I was to think that, you know, we're going 2329 01:55:23,387 --> 01:55:25,067 Speaker 14: to play the same way and get the same results, 2330 01:55:25,107 --> 01:55:27,947 Speaker 14: I think it's pretty naive of my part. And also 2331 01:55:28,067 --> 01:55:31,707 Speaker 14: like to think that I have more ideas and things 2332 01:55:31,747 --> 01:55:33,507 Speaker 14: that I want to you know, I want to see 2333 01:55:33,667 --> 01:55:36,547 Speaker 14: my teams and more importantly, I think one big thing 2334 01:55:36,627 --> 01:55:39,787 Speaker 14: that I want fans seeing this shoes when when they 2335 01:55:39,827 --> 01:55:41,667 Speaker 14: watch us player there's a nice energy to the way 2336 01:55:41,707 --> 01:55:45,627 Speaker 14: we play and and anyone that watches us gets that 2337 01:55:45,747 --> 01:55:48,307 Speaker 14: same feeling of you know, like contentment and seeing us 2338 01:55:48,347 --> 01:55:50,667 Speaker 14: trying to play and be positive and even if we 2339 01:55:50,787 --> 01:55:52,747 Speaker 14: lose a game, you know that, you know, we're brave 2340 01:55:52,827 --> 01:55:55,867 Speaker 14: in what we do. And but there's you know, there's 2341 01:55:55,867 --> 01:55:58,387 Speaker 14: a lot of good forward intent, a lot of positivity 2342 01:55:58,427 --> 01:56:01,587 Speaker 14: and I think you know that's something that you evolve to. 2343 01:56:01,747 --> 01:56:03,627 Speaker 7: You don't. You can't ask for it overnight. 2344 01:56:04,107 --> 01:56:07,227 Speaker 14: Even when Angels at Brisbane, you know, like him, I 2345 01:56:07,307 --> 01:56:09,467 Speaker 14: think half a season he cleared out the players that 2346 01:56:09,667 --> 01:56:12,347 Speaker 14: you know needed to and he still struggled for results, 2347 01:56:12,387 --> 01:56:13,947 Speaker 14: but the intent was there and then the year after, 2348 01:56:14,147 --> 01:56:18,027 Speaker 14: you know, it kind of all came together. So again 2349 01:56:18,187 --> 01:56:21,307 Speaker 14: we have the advantage that we've had a really successful 2350 01:56:21,347 --> 01:56:22,147 Speaker 14: season last year. 2351 01:56:22,867 --> 01:56:26,107 Speaker 7: But again last year, last year, that's done. Now we 2352 01:56:26,227 --> 01:56:27,747 Speaker 7: just need to build on all the good things that 2353 01:56:27,827 --> 01:56:28,067 Speaker 7: we did. 2354 01:56:28,987 --> 01:56:30,667 Speaker 2: Marco rohas has arrived at the club, I think it's 2355 01:56:31,107 --> 01:56:32,867 Speaker 2: at least the first game, maybe the second with a 2356 01:56:33,067 --> 01:56:36,867 Speaker 2: stress fracture, hopefully back soon. You mentioned in the press 2357 01:56:36,907 --> 01:56:40,387 Speaker 2: release about Stephan Kolokovski how integral Marco roehas was going 2358 01:56:40,427 --> 01:56:43,467 Speaker 2: to be to your side. What will his involvement within 2359 01:56:43,547 --> 01:56:46,027 Speaker 2: your system look like Marco? 2360 01:56:48,107 --> 01:56:54,507 Speaker 14: Yeah, so with Marco in the squad he has, the 2361 01:56:54,707 --> 01:56:56,627 Speaker 14: thing is is that we actually had to change just 2362 01:56:56,707 --> 01:56:59,907 Speaker 14: set up in order to cater for Marco's absence, So 2363 01:57:02,347 --> 01:57:05,267 Speaker 14: he has a bit of a creative role in behind 2364 01:57:05,427 --> 01:57:10,507 Speaker 14: Costa and also there's another player that would be on 2365 01:57:10,547 --> 01:57:13,707 Speaker 14: the other side, but with the freedom as well that 2366 01:57:13,867 --> 01:57:17,587 Speaker 14: he can play wide, he can come down lower, and 2367 01:57:18,227 --> 01:57:20,947 Speaker 14: you know, there's also an emphasis on those other supporting 2368 01:57:20,987 --> 01:57:24,747 Speaker 14: players that once he vacates a certain area, another player 2369 01:57:24,787 --> 01:57:30,027 Speaker 14: will step in. So yeah, it's he's very important. I think, 2370 01:57:30,787 --> 01:57:32,467 Speaker 14: you know, we spent most of the season or the 2371 01:57:32,507 --> 01:57:35,787 Speaker 14: preseason trying to build on his abilities, and he actually 2372 01:57:35,827 --> 01:57:38,387 Speaker 14: had a really nice chemistry recost on and there was 2373 01:57:38,427 --> 01:57:42,907 Speaker 14: something that we've been trying to you know, like flourish 2374 01:57:42,947 --> 01:57:46,147 Speaker 14: and encourage, but unfortunately, you know, whether it be down 2375 01:57:46,187 --> 01:57:49,027 Speaker 14: a scheduling and availability, it's been difficult to put those 2376 01:57:49,067 --> 01:57:52,787 Speaker 14: two together on the park, I think they've played. I 2377 01:57:52,867 --> 01:57:55,627 Speaker 14: think they've played forty five minutes together so far in 2378 01:57:55,707 --> 01:57:59,547 Speaker 14: a whole preseason, which has been disappointing. But again, once 2379 01:57:59,867 --> 01:58:03,947 Speaker 14: you know Marco is fully fit and we can reintegrate him, 2380 01:58:03,987 --> 01:58:06,027 Speaker 14: it's about also building his minutes in this early part 2381 01:58:06,067 --> 01:58:08,387 Speaker 14: of the season. I think once you know, we can 2382 01:58:08,427 --> 01:58:11,747 Speaker 14: get him close around sixty seventy minutes of just you know, 2383 01:58:13,107 --> 01:58:16,267 Speaker 14: vigorous football. I think those two together plus all the 2384 01:58:16,307 --> 01:58:18,187 Speaker 14: other boys will have a nice chemistry. 2385 01:58:18,307 --> 01:58:19,067 Speaker 7: I'm looking forward to it. 2386 01:58:19,667 --> 01:58:22,267 Speaker 2: In your two new Japanese players, So Dicky is Sugar 2387 01:58:22,427 --> 01:58:27,627 Speaker 2: and Kazuki Nagasawa tell us about how they've fitted in 2388 01:58:27,747 --> 01:58:29,787 Speaker 2: and what we can hope to see from them this season. 2389 01:58:30,067 --> 01:58:31,027 Speaker 7: So I was lucky enough. 2390 01:58:31,107 --> 01:58:34,387 Speaker 14: I've known I've watched Shigi play for a long time, 2391 01:58:36,147 --> 01:58:38,107 Speaker 14: and I was lucky enough to you know, I made 2392 01:58:38,147 --> 01:58:41,547 Speaker 14: contact with his agent and were able to make the deal. 2393 01:58:42,547 --> 01:58:47,307 Speaker 14: Kazuki I knew from his days actually playing in Germany 2394 01:58:48,347 --> 01:58:50,307 Speaker 14: because I used to follow the Bundesliga quite a bit, 2395 01:58:50,427 --> 01:58:54,907 Speaker 14: so I had familiararity with those two players. So when 2396 01:58:54,947 --> 01:58:56,827 Speaker 14: the opportunity came for them to come across, I was 2397 01:58:56,827 --> 01:59:02,067 Speaker 14: actually quite excited and sorry, But the question was how 2398 01:59:02,107 --> 01:59:02,747 Speaker 14: they're integrated. 2399 01:59:02,747 --> 01:59:03,107 Speaker 13: I think. 2400 01:59:04,987 --> 01:59:08,827 Speaker 14: That so far they both done very well in the environment. 2401 01:59:09,027 --> 01:59:11,947 Speaker 14: I think obviously, you know, for me, language is a 2402 01:59:12,067 --> 01:59:18,027 Speaker 14: huge is a huge barrier. Kazuki, you know, He's English 2403 01:59:18,227 --> 01:59:24,147 Speaker 14: is pretty good. Sigis is getting better. He's starting to 2404 01:59:24,227 --> 01:59:26,387 Speaker 14: understand my bad jokes, which is which is a good, 2405 01:59:26,507 --> 01:59:27,587 Speaker 14: which is a good. 2406 01:59:28,147 --> 01:59:30,027 Speaker 7: It's a good start. But I think that. 2407 01:59:34,667 --> 01:59:39,107 Speaker 14: What's been promising is SIGI's first game against Newcastle, probably 2408 01:59:39,107 --> 01:59:41,427 Speaker 14: about half an hour, found it very hard to get 2409 01:59:41,427 --> 01:59:44,747 Speaker 14: in the game, get touches. And then the second game 2410 01:59:44,787 --> 01:59:48,907 Speaker 14: against Wanderers he had a little bit more time, started 2411 01:59:49,027 --> 01:59:51,267 Speaker 14: getting into the into the play. It's still a little 2412 01:59:51,267 --> 01:59:53,787 Speaker 14: bit clunky, and then this last game against Mariners he 2413 01:59:53,907 --> 01:59:57,587 Speaker 14: basically grew in confidence and got a lot more touches 2414 01:59:57,667 --> 02:00:02,187 Speaker 14: and you could see like him, Costa and Bali and 2415 02:00:04,347 --> 02:00:05,787 Speaker 14: I'm just trying to think of the young boys who 2416 02:00:05,827 --> 02:00:08,867 Speaker 14: played Oscar Van hadn't started to build a bit of 2417 02:00:08,907 --> 02:00:13,347 Speaker 14: a dynamic, and with Redtrey as well, so they're slowly 2418 02:00:13,427 --> 02:00:14,107 Speaker 14: coming along, you know. 2419 02:00:14,187 --> 02:00:16,907 Speaker 7: Kazuki as well. Like Kazuki was lucky. 2420 02:00:16,707 --> 02:00:20,547 Speaker 14: Enough that he's been playing regular minutes at Velgeta previously, 2421 02:00:21,267 --> 02:00:22,747 Speaker 14: but he had a bit of time off and he 2422 02:00:23,067 --> 02:00:25,187 Speaker 14: know deloaded and now it's just trying to build ninety 2423 02:00:25,187 --> 02:00:25,747 Speaker 14: minutes again. 2424 02:00:26,547 --> 02:00:27,907 Speaker 7: But you can tell he's got a lot of class. 2425 02:00:27,987 --> 02:00:31,227 Speaker 14: You know, There's there's just something about both of those 2426 02:00:31,307 --> 02:00:34,667 Speaker 14: players playing under pressure technically that it's really nice to watch. 2427 02:00:35,307 --> 02:00:37,107 Speaker 14: And I think for me, it's just putting him in 2428 02:00:37,107 --> 02:00:40,587 Speaker 14: those positions where they can absorb that pressure and that 2429 02:00:40,667 --> 02:00:43,387 Speaker 14: will give us a different dimension as the season progresses, 2430 02:00:43,827 --> 02:00:44,747 Speaker 14: all just to finish. 2431 02:00:45,707 --> 02:00:46,427 Speaker 2: Do you feel ready? 2432 02:00:47,147 --> 02:00:47,307 Speaker 20: Well? 2433 02:00:47,347 --> 02:00:50,627 Speaker 2: What is your sense of how ready this team is 2434 02:00:50,747 --> 02:00:55,827 Speaker 2: to play well, maybe not perfectly immediately, but to play 2435 02:00:55,907 --> 02:00:57,107 Speaker 2: well from the start. 2436 02:01:01,467 --> 02:01:03,707 Speaker 7: Do I feel ready? I don't think I ever feel ready. 2437 02:01:04,227 --> 02:01:06,827 Speaker 14: Even last year I didn't think, you know, when we 2438 02:01:06,907 --> 02:01:10,267 Speaker 14: went into the season it was more about building. Last 2439 02:01:10,347 --> 02:01:12,467 Speaker 14: year was more about building belief in the group and 2440 02:01:13,027 --> 02:01:15,827 Speaker 14: churning results and getting to a point where you know 2441 02:01:15,907 --> 02:01:18,587 Speaker 14: the boys understood the system well and you know we 2442 02:01:18,627 --> 02:01:21,267 Speaker 14: could build. I think this year is there's a higher 2443 02:01:21,387 --> 02:01:25,867 Speaker 14: expectation of the playing style and I think where my 2444 02:01:25,987 --> 02:01:30,347 Speaker 14: frustration was sometimes which will further ahead, But given the 2445 02:01:30,747 --> 02:01:34,067 Speaker 14: circumstances of the preseason, where where just you know we've 2446 02:01:34,147 --> 02:01:35,547 Speaker 14: had so many obstacles. 2447 02:01:35,907 --> 02:01:40,227 Speaker 7: I'm actually quite impressed at how far the team's teams come. 2448 02:01:42,067 --> 02:01:44,107 Speaker 14: I think it will take us about forty six games 2449 02:01:44,467 --> 02:01:46,667 Speaker 14: roughly before we start hitting our straps. 2450 02:01:46,707 --> 02:01:50,147 Speaker 7: And what I mean by that is building continuity, building. 2451 02:01:50,627 --> 02:01:53,467 Speaker 14: Dynamic and starting players, and also having that competition, the 2452 02:01:53,547 --> 02:01:55,627 Speaker 14: intensity of competition, plus to travel. 2453 02:01:55,787 --> 02:01:56,187 Speaker 6: And so on. 2454 02:01:57,147 --> 02:02:00,587 Speaker 14: I think once we're able to get all that and 2455 02:02:01,027 --> 02:02:02,987 Speaker 14: the boys have a confidence in what we're trying to do, 2456 02:02:03,147 --> 02:02:08,827 Speaker 14: I think it will come together. So I know it's 2457 02:02:08,867 --> 02:02:11,347 Speaker 14: a long answer, but in short I would say I'm 2458 02:02:11,387 --> 02:02:17,267 Speaker 14: not entirely satisfied, but at the same time, given what's happened, 2459 02:02:17,347 --> 02:02:19,427 Speaker 14: I'm happy how things are going. 2460 02:02:19,787 --> 02:02:22,347 Speaker 2: Good to have an extended chat with John Kloertaliano, coach 2461 02:02:22,547 --> 02:02:24,907 Speaker 2: of Wellington Phoenix.
