2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: on the Eden Park big screen and to put it

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,120

9
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm very good. So do you buy a shot clock

10
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: of off the shelf or did you have to make

11
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: it yourself?

12
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: Well, as you can imagine, the calls started coming through

13
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: last Saturday night NZEDR and Eating Parks teams then work

14
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: through on Sunday the opportunities and possibilities. We've been fortunate

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: over the last three years to invest thirty million dollars

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: worth of venue upgrades, so we were able to accommodate

17
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: the request and delighted to have that technology this weekend.

18
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: Is it linked to the ref or do you have

19
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: a shot clock operator?

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: So it is linked. So it's an operational matter for

21
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: nz R and the TMO. So it's not either my

22
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: self for one of them. Iteam pressing the button?

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: Well, what screen is it going to be on the

24
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: big screen, you know, on the East end or on

25
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: every screen.

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: We have three superscreens at Eden Park, so the testing

27
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 2: has been done to accommodate either one or all three.

28
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: You're the first ground. Will this happen in every ground

29
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: around the world? You reckon.

30
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: I think it's a part of the fan engagement if

31
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: you look at whether it be basketball or other sporting events,

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 2: the technology that's been developed in swimming with the world

33
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: record line or even sailing. We need to continue to

34
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: evolve and provide a fan experience that encourages people to

35
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: come back to our.

36
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: Stadiums absolutely sold out. You've got fine whether the high

37
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: expected tomorrow's seventeen degrees, it's just perfect. You know, the

38
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: Nation Stadium is going to be just fine at it.

39
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: As you can imagine. We want the Fortress to continue.

40
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: It's a thirty year record, forty eight games. We've got

41
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: to sell our crowd with staff. We'll have over two

42
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: thousand staff working and with over fifty thousand people in attendance,

43
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: we're very proud of the economic benefit it delivers for

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: the city, but also the escapes and so we're ready.

45
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: The grass looks magnificent and looking forward to welcoming people

46
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,080

Speaker 1: Good Luck, thank you, next out the yes the shot

49
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: cock Eden for Damian Mackenzie. I saw him yesterday, very fit,

50
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: very fast as a man, very bad sense of timing.

51
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 1: But I don't just look up at the screen. Look

52
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: up at the screen, Damien and good Luck. I didn't

53
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: ask any of those guys for a score prediction, though

54
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: my own prediction is I'm expecting a rousing improval from

55
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: the all Backs and a big win. I know that

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: Elliot Smith reckons by seven, and I'm going to say

57
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: all Backs by twelve.

58
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,040
