1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,160 Speaker 1: Go. 2 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 2: The Hammers pulled off the perfect season. Nisbo just starked. 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: Every reason to any reason to I know, I've got 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: to make down there, Jared Ross soon. We've discussed it 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 1: over the years and there's been up and down, up 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: and down four tunes of Mid Canterbury, but really obviously 7 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: put it together this year. I didn't see a lot 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: of the final. I was staying in a hotel that 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: unfortunately didn't have sky, so I was struggling a wee bit, 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: but I did see enough. Yeah, so good, I'm I'm fantastic. 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: It was the final ten minutes that had everybody on 12 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 2: the edge of the seats as a yellow cab was 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 2: awarded and then we got the penalty. Tom Reakey, in 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: a rare display, missed the penalty cake and then all 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: of a sudden the swamp Foxes get the ball back 16 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: and then they're deep in our twenty two and then 17 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: there's a line out and then it's co skipper Dicklan 18 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: McCormack who saves the dame and we managed to hang 19 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: on to take the win. It was just utter scenes 20 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: and probably the the most bumper crowd that the showgrounds 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 2: or the rugby club has ever seen. It was just 22 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: a great atmosphere. 23 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, I imagine you weren't looking at the end. 24 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 2: I've caught up in all the excitement, that's for sure. 25 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: Tid work. When you as a commentator, you have to 26 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: be you have to watch. But if you're a spectator, 27 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: I don't think I could watch. 28 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 2: No, no, yeah, I had to hit home and catch 29 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: the stream back myself. I must admit for all those 30 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: finer details. But what an occasion to be part of 31 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: and just part of the South Islands dominance of the 32 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: weekends NISBO because we jumped to the lahure Cuff, North 33 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 2: Otago taking that yesterday against hot Offenable Carpitty. Here's a 34 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: question for you. Is this the first time they've had 35 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: live TV cameras in Mahino? 36 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: Probably? Yeah, probably, I would think he mus really good question, 37 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah? 38 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: Well, because I heard that the usual playing grounds are 39 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: under construction or something and the show grounds were taken 40 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: by some other events, so they moved to Mahino all places. 41 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, fantastic And BlimE me, I think when you 42 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: look at the score in that the World Cup final, 43 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: I think sounds to me like defense was optional on that. 44 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, big time absolute try feest. Well, the visitors gave 45 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: them a scare into the half, but then thankfully the 46 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: home side ran away with it. I'm wondering if they 47 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 2: need to revisit the old Golds because you look at 48 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: the squad and half them to barely look older than eighteen. 49 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. Look fantastic for Heartland rugby, isn't it really? I mean, 50 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: this is what New Zealand rugby is all about. I 51 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: think it gets forgotten at times when we're on about 52 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: the All Blacks run about Super rugby, we run about this, 53 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: on about that, we forget that it all starts at 54 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: club level and then pushes into representative and that's basically 55 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: where it all begins. 56 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: And to Spot's a little more populated, but still the 57 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 2: South Island. It's going to be a Southern showdown in 58 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: MPC this weekend. Otago the Canterbury l good. 59 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, both convincing on Friday night of course Otago over 60 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: Bay of Plenty. They look really good in the Otago. 61 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: What a season they're having. I mean if they can 62 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: win on Saturday, they get the double of the MPC 63 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: and the Ramparty Shield. But of course they're up against 64 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: the Canterbury team who were a lot better this week 65 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: than they were last against County's Manecaw. They were battening 66 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: a bit at halftime, but they came away in the 67 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: second half and it was a convincing performance. So you're right, 68 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: it's set up for a great final. And the good 69 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: thing too is it's being played in daylight. It's been 70 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: played around about three o'clock in the afternoon, so it 71 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: should be some spectacle.
