1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Adam Cooper is in to talk weekend Sport Morning. Luke,

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: is there much to get excited about this weekend? I

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: see the All Blacks are playing their final game v Wales.

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: England upset the chance for Grand Slam, and then you

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: pair that was Wales's helpless form the season, not finding

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: too much motivation to get up at ten past four

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: and a Sunday morning. I must have made it.

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 2: It is a tough ask, isn't it. I mean, yeah,

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 2: I think the thoughts for you know, keywis to consider

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: getting up that on goodly hour on Sunday morning would

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: be a lot more enticings. As you say, Luke, the

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: Grand Slam was on the line, and I think a

13
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: lot of people who might have got up to that

14
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 2: England test, you know, last Sunday probably they're pretty disappointing.

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: And bearing in mind also that it's been nearly seventy

16
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: two years since since the All Blacks lost to Wales,

17
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: so it's been a long legacy that New Zealands had.

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a beautiful stadium, Millennium Stadium. Interesting thing

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: some of the selections obviously, it's been a real overhaul

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: from coach Scott Robertson for this one. A couple of

21
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: players he's letting them go on their summer break early.

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: There's been a couple of other niggling injuries, like for

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: Peter Larkey and the loose forwards. So the only three

24
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: players still in the starting fifteen from from last weekend

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: a captain Scott Barrett who's obviously been the skiper always

26
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: the first name on the list anyway, Simon Parker at

27
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: number six, who you know was injected during the game

28
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: last weekend, and then Will Jordan but he's been shifted

29
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: from fullback to the right wing to make way for

30
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: Reuben Love, who's a young up and comer. He gets

31
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 2: a not at fifteen. And then Damien McKenzie wh's had

32
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: some great magical moments of the All Blacks off the

33
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: bench in these last few weeks. He gets to start

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: at ten. So a bit of a new look team.

35
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: Is there anything else that's worth tuning into?

36
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: Well, I think from a viewership perspective, Liam Lawson in

37
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Formula one. That's always a very incredible

38
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: and very impressive circuit, isn't it, you know, just going

39
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: through Sin City, all the different streets, all the different

40
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: you know, the strip and everything like that. Obviously, Liam

41
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,279
Speaker 2: Lawson he's still waiting a few weeks away. I believe

42
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: that he's going to find out what his you know,

43
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: driving options are for next year and the wider Red

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: Bull Syndicate. He got sixteenth there last year. He's had

45
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: a lot of play things better than that through the

46
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: different Grand Prix this year.

47
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: It's been unlucky. It's been an unlucky season for him.

48
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has, yeah, and he's just you know, there's

49
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: been things going against him both on and off the track.

50
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: So yeah, good chance for him to sort of better

51
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: than that sixteenth last year. It's a tricky course. He's

52
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 2: been first to admit that. So yeah, that's that. We've

53
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: also got Ashes crickets starting tonight, Luke huge, you know

54
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: that the biggest Test cricket series in the world, England Versusustralia.

55
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: The first Test starts in Perth three o'clock out time.

56
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: That is a big one obviously, bred and m Colum

57
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: at the Helm of England now as coach. His first

58
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: Ashes in Australia as coach, so a lot to be

59
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: excited about with that. Cricket fans absolutely love the Ashes

60
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: so a lot of TV viewership in the early evening

61
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 2: from his Zealand cricket fans. I'd say
