1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: Heightness Folk gooday Luke stanked wee kend of sport once again. 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: We'll get into it with the All Blacks tomorrow into 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 1: the final two rounds of the Rugby Championship, which also 4 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: mean to Blesloe Cup test for us. It's sold out 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: at Eden Park tomorrow and we've got six changes to 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: the side that we're humbled by the box here we 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: have the. 8 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 2: Most significant courses that Scott Barrett is injured and can't play, 9 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 2: so the captaincy ships to Addie Savia, which means that 10 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: Fabian Holland comes into the middle row to join Tupo 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 2: y E. So the forward pack is pretty predictable. The 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 2: back line, well Roy Guard comes back which is pretty important. 13 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 2: I think he's clearly our best number number nine. And 14 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 2: a few changes in the back as well, because Will 15 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 2: Jordan goes back to fullback, which I think is a 16 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: good move, and Caleb Clark comes out of the wing 17 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: to join Lee Roy Cart. So overall six changes and 18 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: they had to make some sort of move after what 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: happened in Wellington. And for the Wallabies, well they look 20 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: a pretty strong outfit as well. I suppose the big 21 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: talking point there is James O'Connor, who had a very 22 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: successful season with the Crusaders mainly coming off the bench, 23 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 2: is actually going to start the game. So a hell 24 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: of a lot of interest. And we all know the 25 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: record at Eden Park, and we all know the record 26 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: with the leedersload cap et cetera, et cetera five o'clock kickoff, 27 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 2: which is interesting. So don't just assume that it's a 28 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: seven o'clock because you'll miss the game if you do. 29 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: What's it all about, Well, I think it's more kid 30 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 2: friendly put it that way. 31 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: I think it's got nothing to do with the Aussies. 32 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: I thought it might have been linked to NRL finals 33 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: and AUFL finals that sort of thing. 34 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. Now, I don't think so 35 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 2: at all. I think it's a bit of an experience, 36 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: an experiment on the part of New Zealand Rugby to 37 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: bring it forward, have we be? Because I guess, you know, 38 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: with a seven o'clock start, it's a nine o'clock finished. 39 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: A lot of kids don't last that long, so maybe 40 00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: that's the thank. 41 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, you can get behind that big time. There's 42 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: also a signature dad play too. You start earlyer finish early. 43 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right exactly. 44 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Week nine of MPC and it sees Canterbury marching 45 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: up to Northland on Sunday. But I guess the real 46 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: attention is on yet another shield challenge down in Dunedin tomorrow, 47 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: Otago hosting North Harbor. 48 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, the Ranfy shields moved all over the place 49 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 2: I think it started and. 50 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: More than a pair of undies. 51 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. And it's been places like Waikato and 52 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: Southland and Canterbury and now it's in Otago. So this 53 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: is the last one for the year, I believe. 54 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: Unnecessarily if North Otago get the w they haven't all season, 55 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: but if by some miracle they do, then they defend 56 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: it against the Southland Stags again the following week. 57 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Okay, okay, I'll tell you what I 58 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 2: think this time. It's a bridge too far. North Harboro 59 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: I think even won a game this year, so to 60 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: expect them to go to Theneeden and win it, there's 61 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: probably a bridge too far. But I mean it's so 62 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 2: unpredictable year that you just simply don't know. So yeah, 63 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: a lot of interest in that game for sure. And 64 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: another round of good win last night for Hawk's May 65 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 2: over Auckland. Auckland are doomed. They can't make the playoffs. 66 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: So we're starting to see a real pattern emerging here. 67 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 2: And of course the playoffs starting a couple of. 68 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: Weeks time, and super quick write a cap tease off today, 69 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: who's going to win Team uisay or Team Europe. 70 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 2: Well, it's usually team Europe in the last few times, 71 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 2: isn't it. But it's in New York. So home team advantage, 72 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: home ground advantage for a team America. And look I'll 73 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: stick I'll stick my nose into it, and I'll say 74 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: America gets home narrowly.
