1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Paul Ellison, good morning. How you getting on to the

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: end of the week. We've gone from one extreme to another.

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: It's going to take a lot of willpower to stay

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: up until ten pm tomorrow night to catch the All Blacks.

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: You're going to have to not only stay up, you're

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to stay up longer than it because the

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: game kicks off ten forty five tomorrow and ten five.

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah for I understand, well, you got daylight saving on

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: you on your side and how to haven't you it does? Now? Yeah,

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: I think this is a banana skin test for the

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: All Blacks. I picked the All Blacks last week by twelve.

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: They didn't quite make that, but they got the win

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: and kept that unbeaten run at Eden Park going. I

14
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: just feel that Australia will be better this week. I

15
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: thought they got a few calls that didn't quite go

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: their way and the fact that they've been bolstered with

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: some of their key players back Valentini and Skelton and

18
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: the All Blacks having lost a few a couple of

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: their front rowers and also Bowden, Barrett, Caleb Clark and

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: the like. So I just feel this is one for

21
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: the taking for Australia. We know that they've bounced back

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: well in that Lion series when they won that third

23
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Test and unlucky not to win the second Test, and

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: we've played them twice in Perth in the past. We've

25
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: got absolutely spanked before the World Cup in two nineteen

26
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: by forty seven to twenty six. Then we turn the

27
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: tables in twenty twenty one, so we've only played two

28
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: Test matches in our entire history in Perth and I

29
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: just sort of feel this one might go the Australian's way.

30
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: I think they are a dangerous side and if they

31
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: can get some momentum going, they might be too good.

32
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: But let's not be too much of a doubting Thomas

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: at the stage and let's hope that the All Blacks

34
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: can because they need to win to keep their Rugby

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: Championship hopes alive. We know they didn't win the Rugby

36
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: Championship last year. That was won by South Africa who

37
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: are looking good again this year. They play Argentina in

38
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: an away match for them and Argentinian home match at Twickenham.

39
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: That's two o'clock, so you're talking ten forty five. Get

40
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: up watching the All Blacks stay up till what is

41
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: that one about twelve forty five, the kettle on and

42
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: then carry on through for an all night. They're starting

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: at two o'clock on Sunday morning, South Africa Argentina. If

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: you want a bit of a warm up before then, well,

45
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: MPC gets underway tonight for around ten the last of

46
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: the round robin, and that will conclude on Sunday afternoon

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: when Canterbury are at home to Tallanaki. Canterbury will probably

48
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: need to win that to retain their spot at the

49
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: top of the table, which means that they get hometown

50
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: advantage throughout the playoffs if they keep winning. That's four

51
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: thirty five Sunday afternoon. Otago is the team that they'll

52
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: be keeping an eye on because they just one point

53
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: behind them on the ladder and Otago play Auckland two

54
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: o five tomorrow, not at Eden Park but at Auckland

55
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: Grammar school grounds. There we go. I don't know, maybe

56
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: that ain't get big enough crowds at Eden Park, so

57
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: they're going They're going to Auckland Grammar to play that.

58
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: Also tomorrow afternoon it's the Faro Farmer Cup Final. Wellington

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: workout I should say against Canterbury to the FMG Stadium.

60
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: One fifteen is the kickoff, of course, the defending champions

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: of White Kaddow, but Canterbury won five times in the

62
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: last decade, so they I wouldn't put it past and

63
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: they had that sort of stranglehold between two seventeen and

64
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: two twenty and then one of the game and two

65
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: twenty two twenty twenty two, I should say, And so

66
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: that'll be a close match. That's one fifteen that basically

67
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: plays as a curtain raiser for the MPC and the

68
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: Bunnings when Waycado take on Northland on Sunday evening. If

69
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: you've woken up again after that big night out, you've

70
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: got on Saturday night, Sunday night nine thirty another late

71
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: one for your Grand Final NRL coming to you from Sydney.

72
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: Brisbane Broncos they haven't won since two thousand and six

73
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: up against the Melbourne Storm. You who haven't won that

74
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: toilet water Reese Walsh. Yeah, well, I'll tell you what.

75
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: He is an absolute superstar, isn't he against the Melbourne

76
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: Storm two seventeen was allowed twenty seveneen was the last

77
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: time that they had won. So because Penrith has had

78
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: a basically a mortgage on that trophy. It'll be someone

79
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: else engraved in this time. I wouldn't be surprised to

80
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: Brisbane get up and break that nineteen year old drought.

81
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: We'll wait and see Women's ICC will Cup the White

82
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: Ferns in action for their second match, and that after

83
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: getting spanked by Australia. This is from indoor. That's not

84
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: an indoor match, but from indoor in India. Ten to

85
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: thirty Monday night for that one. But before then, of course,

86
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: tonight seven to fifteen New Zealand against Australia Chapel Hadley

87
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,640

00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: am New Zealand time on Monday. We'll see Liam Lawson

92
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: in action once more and let's hope he has another

93
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: outstanding performance to back up that top six place that

94
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: he had in the last outing. So yeah, plenty of

95
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: sporting action, but get some sleep when you can. Over

96
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: the weekend ahead
