1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Jason Pines here. Hey Jason, Hello Ryan, good to see,

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Good to have you in the studio, Good to be here.

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: Now the Chiefs.

4
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: What's going to happen tonight? Chiefs and Crusaders and Hamilton.

5
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: Well, if you'd asked me a year ago, say well, Chiefs,

6
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: because Crusaders were terrible a year ago. But last weekend

7
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: they started the new season pretty well. Actually been in

8
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: the Hurricanes, they got a few players back. I thought

9
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: they looked pretty good. So they go up to play

10
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: a chief side though, who in a repeat of last

11
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 2: year's final last weekend beat the Blues at Eden Park.

12
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: So you'd say on their home ground the Chiefs would

13
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: be favorites. But you know, I've almost feel like we

14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: can't recall the Crusaders underdogs because they're the Crusaders. They've

15
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: been so good for so long. It's a very long

16
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: winded answer. I think the Chiefs. I think the Chiefs.

17
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: I think the Chiefs are favorite to win the game.

18
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: I think if Damian McKenzie plays well, the Chiefs will.

19
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: Win the game. That young guy that the Crusaders have

20
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: got from Wellington, who was the scaffolder up the Capity Coast,

21
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: he's pretty impressive.

22
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: Kyle Priston is the man's name. Yeah, came off the

23
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: bench last week when Noah Hothan went off after seven

24
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: minutes and gets a hat trick of tries. No player

25
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: in Super Rugby history has ever scored a hat trick

26
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: on boo. Kyle Preston has he'll start tonight because Noah

27
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: Hopame's injury will keep him out for a bit. So yeah,

28
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: from the scaffolding and the roofing of the carpany coast

29
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: to front and and.

30
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: The Americans would be so miffed they didn't keep them right.

31
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's been a bit of chat about that.

32
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure Ken the Phoenix do you well? Do we

33
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: even say this are the Phoeni's going to do anything

34
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: impressive ever?

35
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: Wow?

36
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Obviously I don't. Look, I don't know a lot about football,

37
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: you know this. I don't know a lot about anything.

38
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: But you know, you've got this team who's been around

39
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: for donkeys years and I'm from Wellington. They never win

40
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: anything and then the along comes as team there's Johnny

41
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: come Lately is and they win everything.

42
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they're they're on target to win tomorrow as well.

43
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: I think anyone who didn't have any skin in the

44
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: game would say, Yakland FC, you know, top of the

45
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: league by five points. The Phoenix has struggled this year,

46
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: but funny things happen in Derby's you know when two

47
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: teams doesn't matter where they are on the table, who

48
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: are fierce rivals, come together. I think it'll be tighter

49
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: than a lot of people expect. Tomorrow, big crowd and

50
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: coming twenty seven thousand. They've sold it out, which is

51
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: some again, just another feather in the cap of this

52
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: Auckland FC organization. A nice day look the Wellingtonian and

53
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: me would love to see the Phoenix when I think

54
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: it's good for the narrative too. But if you hover

55
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: above it, Auckland f C are firm favorite.

56
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: Jason, Thank you very much. We look forward to a

57
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,200
