1 00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,427 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine 2 00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:11,747 Speaker 1: from NEWSTALKSB. 3 00:00:12,707 --> 00:00:15,187 Speaker 2: It might be Easter Sunday, but that doesn't mean a 4 00:00:15,307 --> 00:00:16,947 Speaker 2: day of rest for James mconey. 5 00:00:17,027 --> 00:00:20,787 Speaker 3: Hello mate, No, indeed, hello Piney. Yes, it is the 6 00:00:21,147 --> 00:00:24,107 Speaker 3: Great Easter egg hunt today. I'm on a bit of 7 00:00:24,107 --> 00:00:26,707 Speaker 3: a diet, so it's just actual normal, just size seven eggs. 8 00:00:26,747 --> 00:00:30,467 Speaker 3: But they're currently more expensive than the chocolate ones as 9 00:00:30,507 --> 00:00:33,947 Speaker 3: far as I'm concerned, so it is very expensive eggaund 10 00:00:34,387 --> 00:00:34,867 Speaker 3: either way. 11 00:00:35,347 --> 00:00:39,827 Speaker 2: Yeah, economically challenging, that's for sure. Auckland f C. Auckland 12 00:00:39,907 --> 00:00:43,467 Speaker 2: f C continue to hunt the silver where they almost 13 00:00:43,787 --> 00:00:46,547 Speaker 2: got the Premier's plate last night. Inevitable? Isn't it that 14 00:00:46,587 --> 00:00:49,547 Speaker 2: they'll they'll win the premiers played at home next weekend? 15 00:00:50,667 --> 00:00:54,147 Speaker 3: Yes they should, and yeah they will. But I did 16 00:00:54,187 --> 00:00:57,467 Speaker 3: appreciate your tweet, Poney. Can we call it a tweet 17 00:00:57,467 --> 00:01:00,987 Speaker 3: on X where I Yes, you said to see it 18 00:01:01,027 --> 00:01:05,667 Speaker 3: go media next weekend. Bring a plate, nice pony, very good. 19 00:01:06,467 --> 00:01:08,587 Speaker 2: That would appeal to your niche kind of you know, 20 00:01:08,747 --> 00:01:12,387 Speaker 2: perhaps sort of eighties nineties sense of occasion. Yeah, bring 21 00:01:12,427 --> 00:01:14,347 Speaker 2: a play, ladies, bring a plate, they used to say. 22 00:01:14,587 --> 00:01:15,867 Speaker 2: I know that you can say that anymore. 23 00:01:16,947 --> 00:01:19,107 Speaker 3: You can't. You can't. But hey, look, the thing is 24 00:01:19,667 --> 00:01:22,947 Speaker 3: that they're going to win the Premier's plate. I noticed 25 00:01:22,947 --> 00:01:25,667 Speaker 3: Steve Carriker and the team. There's a big deal, but 26 00:01:25,707 --> 00:01:27,827 Speaker 3: there is the big battle for the toilet seat, which 27 00:01:27,907 --> 00:01:30,427 Speaker 3: is the big one for the Grand Final. If people 28 00:01:30,427 --> 00:01:32,827 Speaker 3: don't know what I'm talking about, it's a big silver 29 00:01:34,027 --> 00:01:36,107 Speaker 3: circle that looks a lot like a toilet seat. 30 00:01:36,867 --> 00:01:39,187 Speaker 2: Yeah, two bits of silver up for grabs. You'd have 31 00:01:39,267 --> 00:01:41,827 Speaker 2: to think, wouldn't you that if they win the Premiers played, 32 00:01:42,027 --> 00:01:43,827 Speaker 2: that means they finish top. That means if they make 33 00:01:43,867 --> 00:01:46,307 Speaker 2: the Grand Final, they host the Grand Final. I just 34 00:01:46,347 --> 00:01:49,627 Speaker 2: can't see anybody coming to Auckland and beating them there 35 00:01:49,627 --> 00:01:51,987 Speaker 2: in a in a grand final situation, can you. 36 00:01:53,067 --> 00:01:58,587 Speaker 3: Well? Yeah, possibly, thing because they've drawn a lot of 37 00:01:58,627 --> 00:02:00,907 Speaker 3: games at home lately, piny and you've called them all 38 00:02:02,187 --> 00:02:05,467 Speaker 3: have drawn four five, but maybe even I think they've 39 00:02:05,467 --> 00:02:08,907 Speaker 3: had had five out of six draws before this win. 40 00:02:08,987 --> 00:02:11,147 Speaker 3: At the weekend. One thing I was going to say 41 00:02:11,227 --> 00:02:14,627 Speaker 3: is it's there's three things on the field and two 42 00:02:14,787 --> 00:02:17,267 Speaker 3: crucial things off the field. I think they've got right 43 00:02:17,387 --> 00:02:20,347 Speaker 3: the Auklam they've seen so on the field I think 44 00:02:20,787 --> 00:02:24,587 Speaker 3: they built from the back. Right. They the cheeky signing 45 00:02:24,627 --> 00:02:28,227 Speaker 3: of goalkeeper Alex Paulsen from the Phoenix. The captain Haduky 46 00:02:28,307 --> 00:02:32,507 Speaker 3: Sarkais played World Cups for Japan, including the last one, 47 00:02:32,707 --> 00:02:36,067 Speaker 3: so lots of good defenders and a great holding midfielder 48 00:02:36,067 --> 00:02:38,667 Speaker 3: and Louis Vastrada from Belgium. And the other thing they 49 00:02:38,707 --> 00:02:41,227 Speaker 3: got is they got a respective coach, a respected coach 50 00:02:41,267 --> 00:02:44,307 Speaker 3: and Steve Coriker who's one titles as a player and 51 00:02:44,347 --> 00:02:47,507 Speaker 3: a coach. And then getting players. This is the thing, 52 00:02:47,547 --> 00:02:51,147 Speaker 3: getting their ex factor from players with unfulfilled potential, because 53 00:02:51,147 --> 00:02:53,027 Speaker 3: it's one way to get them to settle, if you like, 54 00:02:53,107 --> 00:02:56,027 Speaker 3: for the A League to rebuild their brand and their career. 55 00:02:56,347 --> 00:02:58,507 Speaker 3: And we've got that with guys like Francis the Reeve, 56 00:02:58,587 --> 00:03:01,507 Speaker 3: cam Howison and even the South Americans who are in there. 57 00:03:01,947 --> 00:03:03,947 Speaker 3: You know, mid to late twenties should be peaking up 58 00:03:03,987 --> 00:03:06,867 Speaker 3: for one reason or another their career had so they 59 00:03:06,907 --> 00:03:11,187 Speaker 3: did that perfectly. And then I mean, I guess you 60 00:03:11,187 --> 00:03:14,867 Speaker 3: could say off the field, they made it attractive for kids. 61 00:03:15,067 --> 00:03:17,547 Speaker 3: I mean there's a giant slide there, for goodness sake. 62 00:03:18,067 --> 00:03:18,867 Speaker 3: Even you'd love that. 63 00:03:18,947 --> 00:03:23,627 Speaker 2: Pinty, Yes, I've watched it from Afar. I haven't quite 64 00:03:23,987 --> 00:03:26,787 Speaker 2: had the opportunity or actually the deep seated desire to 65 00:03:26,827 --> 00:03:29,547 Speaker 2: go down it because I can only imagine it would 66 00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:30,427 Speaker 2: end in disaster. 67 00:03:31,307 --> 00:03:33,747 Speaker 3: Well I'm banned apparently because they see in terms of 68 00:03:33,747 --> 00:03:37,947 Speaker 3: gravity and physics there is a chance I'd go through 69 00:03:38,667 --> 00:03:41,027 Speaker 3: a hot dog cart and end up on the field. 70 00:03:41,107 --> 00:03:43,267 Speaker 3: So I mean that's the issue. That's why they actually 71 00:03:43,267 --> 00:03:46,147 Speaker 3: put in that sand pit barrier the other beach to 72 00:03:46,227 --> 00:03:48,387 Speaker 3: maybe allow me to go on the slide. But then 73 00:03:48,387 --> 00:03:50,787 Speaker 3: also the port. You know, those fans, the ultras, the 74 00:03:50,787 --> 00:03:53,867 Speaker 3: ones who provide the atmosphere, you know, packing out the 75 00:03:54,867 --> 00:03:57,987 Speaker 3: terraces behind the southern goal. I mean, just having that 76 00:03:58,107 --> 00:04:00,667 Speaker 3: kind of support straight away off the bat has been 77 00:04:00,667 --> 00:04:02,787 Speaker 3: incredible and that's why it's just been such a great 78 00:04:02,827 --> 00:04:07,307 Speaker 3: occasion in the afternoon games at mounts mart yep perfect storm. 79 00:04:07,347 --> 00:04:10,867 Speaker 2: Indeed, so next Sunday likely to be another very very 80 00:04:10,867 --> 00:04:13,267 Speaker 2: big crowd as they perhaps look to secure that first 81 00:04:13,267 --> 00:04:15,107 Speaker 2: piece of silver where the premier is played before they 82 00:04:15,147 --> 00:04:17,227 Speaker 2: go on, as you say, to have a crack at 83 00:04:17,267 --> 00:04:20,147 Speaker 2: the toilet seat just before we move from football. Cost 84 00:04:20,187 --> 00:04:24,107 Speaker 2: of Barbarusis has been a bit of a bright shining 85 00:04:24,187 --> 00:04:27,227 Speaker 2: light in what has been a fairly disappointing season for 86 00:04:27,307 --> 00:04:28,187 Speaker 2: Wellington Phoenix. 87 00:04:29,467 --> 00:04:32,667 Speaker 3: Indeed, I mean, I feel like Costa barbarusis we need 88 00:04:32,667 --> 00:04:35,307 Speaker 3: to give him as flowers. He's got ten goals again, 89 00:04:35,347 --> 00:04:38,787 Speaker 3: which is you know in the A League season, that's 90 00:04:38,827 --> 00:04:40,827 Speaker 3: like twenty in the Premier League season, right, it's a 91 00:04:40,867 --> 00:04:43,507 Speaker 3: half of the amount of games. So he's gone past 92 00:04:43,507 --> 00:04:48,147 Speaker 3: ten goals again. He's what mid to mid thirties and 93 00:04:48,387 --> 00:04:50,787 Speaker 3: he's still doing it at such a high level. I 94 00:04:50,867 --> 00:04:52,947 Speaker 3: just think he's been underrated a bit too long. And 95 00:04:53,307 --> 00:04:55,627 Speaker 3: after that World Cup qualify, Piney, you and I were 96 00:04:55,667 --> 00:04:58,067 Speaker 3: in the press conference and I asked him about how 97 00:04:58,107 --> 00:05:02,667 Speaker 3: he felt about that last World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica. 98 00:05:02,707 --> 00:05:04,787 Speaker 3: He got to remember he got a red card, he'd 99 00:05:04,827 --> 00:05:07,547 Speaker 3: been on the field for nine minutes, and he said 100 00:05:07,587 --> 00:05:11,147 Speaker 3: that that haunted him every single day. Yeah, thought about 101 00:05:11,147 --> 00:05:14,827 Speaker 3: it every single day, And I just thought, well, that 102 00:05:14,987 --> 00:05:17,467 Speaker 3: just shows how much the guy cares for starters. But 103 00:05:17,547 --> 00:05:21,387 Speaker 3: also look back at that game, we should have started him. 104 00:05:21,467 --> 00:05:25,627 Speaker 3: He was pretty much at Pete Costing come back from injury. 105 00:05:25,787 --> 00:05:28,787 Speaker 3: I know you've got Chris Wood, but not having someone 106 00:05:28,907 --> 00:05:31,547 Speaker 3: like that on the field, I think really costs you 107 00:05:31,987 --> 00:05:34,747 Speaker 3: because he is that good and just because he said 108 00:05:34,747 --> 00:05:37,147 Speaker 3: most of his career in the A League, don't get 109 00:05:37,227 --> 00:05:39,267 Speaker 3: it twisted, and he could have played in Europe and 110 00:05:39,307 --> 00:05:42,947 Speaker 3: he did play in Europe. But he's sort of found 111 00:05:43,027 --> 00:05:45,827 Speaker 3: his groove down here. And it doesn't mean that you're 112 00:05:46,227 --> 00:05:49,547 Speaker 3: lesser than a spiker. He's playing in Scotland or second 113 00:05:49,547 --> 00:05:52,107 Speaker 3: division in England, right, that's correct. 114 00:05:52,147 --> 00:05:53,907 Speaker 2: I'm just looking back at the team for that game, 115 00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:57,707 Speaker 2: and with no disrespect, yeah, Alex Greeve started that game 116 00:05:58,227 --> 00:06:02,507 Speaker 2: ahead of cost of Barbarusis presumably, and look, as I say, 117 00:06:02,547 --> 00:06:06,307 Speaker 2: with no disrespect to Alex Greeve, and hindsight's always twenty twenty, 118 00:06:06,787 --> 00:06:08,827 Speaker 2: I wonder whether Costa should have started that match. 119 00:06:09,467 --> 00:06:12,067 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's kind of like a Ben Smith scenario. 120 00:06:12,867 --> 00:06:14,987 Speaker 3: Steve Hanson said, I regret not picking him at the 121 00:06:14,987 --> 00:06:18,067 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen World Cup. I think when you've got someone 122 00:06:18,107 --> 00:06:22,747 Speaker 3: like Costa assist goals, he does it all, works tirelessly, 123 00:06:23,667 --> 00:06:25,547 Speaker 3: cares so much about the game that it haunts him 124 00:06:25,547 --> 00:06:29,067 Speaker 3: every single day since twenty twenty two. That's kind of 125 00:06:29,067 --> 00:06:30,027 Speaker 3: player one playing for me. 126 00:06:30,547 --> 00:06:33,067 Speaker 2: Yep. Indeed, and I really really hope and I think 127 00:06:33,067 --> 00:06:34,947 Speaker 2: he will get the chance to go to his World 128 00:06:34,987 --> 00:06:38,747 Speaker 2: Cup in twenty twenty six. Of course, goalscorer in the 129 00:06:38,747 --> 00:06:41,827 Speaker 2: game against New Caledonia which secured their place. Hey you 130 00:06:41,867 --> 00:06:44,107 Speaker 2: super rug But there are five games to go for 131 00:06:44,187 --> 00:06:45,747 Speaker 2: most of these teams. I think the Reds have got 132 00:06:45,987 --> 00:06:47,387 Speaker 2: one extra to play because they had to buy over 133 00:06:47,427 --> 00:06:52,147 Speaker 2: the weekend. Chiefs thirty two points, Crusaders thirty two points. 134 00:06:52,147 --> 00:06:55,467 Speaker 2: It's the good old fashioned two horse race, is it. 135 00:06:56,787 --> 00:07:00,347 Speaker 3: It's bad baby, the Chiefs. They had such a shoka 136 00:07:00,787 --> 00:07:04,747 Speaker 3: last week. But we had to take the listen to 137 00:07:04,787 --> 00:07:07,667 Speaker 3: what Steve Hanson said all those years ago, flush the 138 00:07:07,747 --> 00:07:11,147 Speaker 3: dunny and move on, probably the wisest thing he's ever said. 139 00:07:11,707 --> 00:07:16,267 Speaker 3: And we did that. The Chiefs, Damien McKenzie looking back 140 00:07:16,307 --> 00:07:19,107 Speaker 3: to his old self and mornin aadaway just having a 141 00:07:19,147 --> 00:07:23,547 Speaker 3: really outstanding game, and Sompeny female like finding some form. 142 00:07:23,627 --> 00:07:25,667 Speaker 3: I mean, he has been an all black guy. I 143 00:07:25,747 --> 00:07:28,667 Speaker 3: sort of wanted that to happen. But meanwhile the Crusader 144 00:07:28,667 --> 00:07:33,627 Speaker 3: has just been so clutch in the wet James O'Connor 145 00:07:33,707 --> 00:07:37,547 Speaker 3: now a Canary place, Crusaders region zero. 146 00:07:38,467 --> 00:07:42,227 Speaker 2: Thank I know, I know, even saying the sentence yesterday, 147 00:07:42,467 --> 00:07:46,947 Speaker 2: you know James O'Connor has sealed the victory for the Crusaders. 148 00:07:46,947 --> 00:07:50,507 Speaker 2: Such an odd sentence to say, it's been quite weat 149 00:07:50,547 --> 00:07:52,547 Speaker 2: actually over the weekend, hasn't it for some of these 150 00:07:52,787 --> 00:07:54,987 Speaker 2: some of these games. But I mean they are I know, 151 00:07:55,067 --> 00:07:58,027 Speaker 2: not anymore, but they are. Rugby is a traditionally a 152 00:07:58,067 --> 00:08:00,307 Speaker 2: winter sports. So is rugby league. 153 00:08:00,347 --> 00:08:05,307 Speaker 3: So as football, yeah, I mean, well, the thing about 154 00:08:05,307 --> 00:08:08,347 Speaker 3: the wet weather, I think it hurts rugby the most 155 00:08:08,427 --> 00:08:11,467 Speaker 3: because you know, the forward stay in their pods, the 156 00:08:11,587 --> 00:08:15,787 Speaker 3: rolling mall. You know the Brumbies for example against More 157 00:08:15,787 --> 00:08:17,787 Speaker 3: on the PACIFICA. They will stack the life out of 158 00:08:17,867 --> 00:08:20,747 Speaker 3: any game. They have the vampires of rugby and so 159 00:08:21,307 --> 00:08:24,947 Speaker 3: any wet weather kind of kills rugby. I think at 160 00:08:24,987 --> 00:08:27,907 Speaker 3: the professional level. It's still good. Good at club level 161 00:08:27,907 --> 00:08:31,107 Speaker 3: because you know there's the classic we're the game and 162 00:08:31,107 --> 00:08:33,547 Speaker 3: a bog. You know, it's just a toss of the coin. 163 00:08:33,627 --> 00:08:36,547 Speaker 3: But when you're asking people to come and watch and 164 00:08:36,587 --> 00:08:39,227 Speaker 3: see something entertaining, I would say get a roof on 165 00:08:39,347 --> 00:08:42,587 Speaker 3: as many places as possible. Obviously, Cross she is about 166 00:08:42,627 --> 00:08:47,187 Speaker 3: to get theirs. Wellington, We're looking at you, even Hamilton, 167 00:08:47,427 --> 00:08:51,347 Speaker 3: come on, now Auckland hopefully eventually somewhere is going to 168 00:08:51,347 --> 00:08:53,707 Speaker 3: be a roof. But I think it would actually help 169 00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:56,787 Speaker 3: super rugby and protectively because this is the time of 170 00:08:56,907 --> 00:08:58,947 Speaker 3: year where it just slows down. I don't think the 171 00:08:59,027 --> 00:09:01,947 Speaker 3: rain affects league as much. And obviously as a football 172 00:09:01,947 --> 00:09:04,587 Speaker 3: guy yourself, pony, there's plenty of good games in the rain. 173 00:09:05,067 --> 00:09:06,947 Speaker 3: Just the ball skids on a bit about. 174 00:09:06,707 --> 00:09:10,627 Speaker 2: That, Yeah, And you ask anybody who plays football and 175 00:09:10,667 --> 00:09:13,947 Speaker 2: they'd say, I'd rather, you know, a wet day than 176 00:09:13,987 --> 00:09:16,067 Speaker 2: a windy one. I think the wind is the thing 177 00:09:16,187 --> 00:09:19,107 Speaker 2: that ruins more sport than anything else. You know, you'd 178 00:09:19,187 --> 00:09:21,227 Speaker 2: much rather play with a bit of drizzle than than 179 00:09:21,507 --> 00:09:22,347 Speaker 2: a howling gale. 180 00:09:22,427 --> 00:09:25,867 Speaker 3: You know. There was one other thing that I noticed 181 00:09:25,867 --> 00:09:29,787 Speaker 3: with your Hurricanes. It was a shame because they had 182 00:09:29,787 --> 00:09:32,307 Speaker 3: a drawer over at the Western Force of Perth, but 183 00:09:32,387 --> 00:09:34,987 Speaker 3: there was a deliberate knockdown in the last final move 184 00:09:35,027 --> 00:09:38,267 Speaker 3: of the game. Is there refree just ignored And I'm 185 00:09:38,307 --> 00:09:40,587 Speaker 3: just thinking, well, that's a yellow card and because the 186 00:09:40,627 --> 00:09:43,587 Speaker 3: tribe scored a penalty, Try any other minute of the 187 00:09:43,627 --> 00:09:48,387 Speaker 3: game except for clearly extra time in Perth and know 188 00:09:48,387 --> 00:09:49,947 Speaker 3: if you saw it, but it'll be on CRADO as 189 00:09:49,987 --> 00:09:51,827 Speaker 3: well tomorrow night. I will highlight it, piny. 190 00:09:52,147 --> 00:09:54,907 Speaker 2: I look forward to that highlighting of that, of that 191 00:09:55,027 --> 00:10:00,067 Speaker 2: absolute miscarriage of justice. But I thought, did you see 192 00:10:00,347 --> 00:10:02,267 Speaker 2: did you see Kellum Harken They run away with the 193 00:10:02,307 --> 00:10:04,187 Speaker 2: ball and then he for some reason passed it as 194 00:10:04,227 --> 00:10:06,387 Speaker 2: he was approaching the try line. Do you think he 195 00:10:06,627 --> 00:10:08,147 Speaker 2: I don't know what was he doing? 196 00:10:09,027 --> 00:10:12,067 Speaker 3: Yeah, Callum harckin this is he was going to school. 197 00:10:12,427 --> 00:10:14,747 Speaker 3: There was Nick White chasing him, he already had him 198 00:10:14,747 --> 00:10:17,267 Speaker 3: for gas. I think Nick White was just doing damage control, 199 00:10:17,507 --> 00:10:20,147 Speaker 3: forcing him out wide. He passed an inside balled at 200 00:10:20,267 --> 00:10:23,947 Speaker 3: cameroy guard that went to ground and when he finished, 201 00:10:24,067 --> 00:10:26,587 Speaker 3: after he passed the ball, he was standing on the trailine. 202 00:10:26,667 --> 00:10:30,187 Speaker 3: So this is how crazy it was. That's one of 203 00:10:30,227 --> 00:10:33,507 Speaker 3: the most unbelievable bomb tries this that will be on 204 00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:36,707 Speaker 3: Crago's wild I feel sorry for Callum Harkin. He just 205 00:10:36,747 --> 00:10:41,307 Speaker 3: needs a few I guess workshops and spatial awareness pony 206 00:10:41,747 --> 00:10:44,787 Speaker 3: and it should be fine. But yeah, that was a 207 00:10:44,787 --> 00:10:45,467 Speaker 3: bit of a shocker. 208 00:10:45,947 --> 00:10:48,027 Speaker 2: It was a strange one, A very strange one. Hey, 209 00:10:48,027 --> 00:10:50,507 Speaker 2: Warry is just before you go. I was pleased to 210 00:10:50,507 --> 00:10:52,267 Speaker 2: see them win that game last night. Of course, I'm 211 00:10:52,267 --> 00:10:54,787 Speaker 2: always pleased when the Warriors when they almost blew it, 212 00:10:54,787 --> 00:10:57,707 Speaker 2: didn't they eighteen six ahead. Luke Metcalf was not the 213 00:10:57,747 --> 00:10:59,787 Speaker 2: happiest night off the t but he now the one 214 00:10:59,787 --> 00:11:00,667 Speaker 2: that mattered at the end. 215 00:11:01,667 --> 00:11:04,667 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. It had his James O'Connor moment. I think 216 00:11:04,667 --> 00:11:07,827 Speaker 3: the worry is just they look like they boss that 217 00:11:07,907 --> 00:11:10,827 Speaker 3: game nicely given the I always look at the Broncos 218 00:11:10,867 --> 00:11:12,707 Speaker 3: and think, how do they fit under the salary cap? 219 00:11:12,787 --> 00:11:15,387 Speaker 3: There is no way. But we've talked about him before, 220 00:11:15,467 --> 00:11:18,507 Speaker 3: Lequa Halasima. Finally we've got to play. He can throw 221 00:11:18,547 --> 00:11:20,827 Speaker 3: the ball to and just say do something. You know, 222 00:11:20,907 --> 00:11:23,627 Speaker 3: he's just lightning quite powerful, too much zip when he's 223 00:11:23,627 --> 00:11:26,227 Speaker 3: around those bigger forwards as well, because he's just a 224 00:11:26,627 --> 00:11:31,747 Speaker 3: you know, he's nuggety and sort of squat. And that 225 00:11:31,947 --> 00:11:34,107 Speaker 3: was then it was kind of got the Warriors on 226 00:11:34,147 --> 00:11:36,947 Speaker 3: the board and you can see them building confidence. So 227 00:11:37,547 --> 00:11:39,587 Speaker 3: good old liquor as well. And by the way, I 228 00:11:39,627 --> 00:11:42,347 Speaker 3: was just thinking, while we're at it, we should mention 229 00:11:42,747 --> 00:11:49,507 Speaker 3: incredible moments Hoskinsatutu's reverse parts against the Crusaders. Oh my goodness, 230 00:11:49,867 --> 00:11:51,867 Speaker 3: go and watch it if you haven't seen it. Could 231 00:11:51,947 --> 00:11:53,987 Speaker 3: that be his micdrop moment because we know he wants 232 00:11:54,027 --> 00:11:57,747 Speaker 3: to leave you see and rugby, but wow, of all 233 00:11:57,787 --> 00:12:00,187 Speaker 3: the highlights of the weekend, that stood out well. 234 00:12:00,107 --> 00:12:02,347 Speaker 2: I mean, is that likely to beyond the crowd goes 235 00:12:02,427 --> 00:12:03,747 Speaker 2: well tomorrow night? 236 00:12:04,427 --> 00:12:06,867 Speaker 3: Oh? I think it will be, and I think will 237 00:12:06,907 --> 00:12:08,587 Speaker 3: be on there. And I'll tell you one other thing. 238 00:12:08,827 --> 00:12:11,227 Speaker 3: I'm thinking Boulders that we can talk about that next time, 239 00:12:11,627 --> 00:12:15,347 Speaker 3: Ryan Pony. But I think Brady McAllister from Shurley Boys 240 00:12:15,347 --> 00:12:18,907 Speaker 3: shout out to Shirley Boys, remember the name. I think 241 00:12:18,947 --> 00:12:21,747 Speaker 3: he will be an all black of well and then 242 00:12:21,787 --> 00:12:22,507 Speaker 3: the very near. 243 00:12:22,387 --> 00:12:24,947 Speaker 2: Future, well, he's keeping some a sort of Talkiah out 244 00:12:24,947 --> 00:12:27,907 Speaker 2: of the starting fifteen. So you've got to be reasonably 245 00:12:27,907 --> 00:12:29,347 Speaker 2: decent player to be doing that, don't you. 246 00:12:30,187 --> 00:12:33,427 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. He's just made every post to winner since 247 00:12:33,427 --> 00:12:35,987 Speaker 3: his moved and it means that Razer can choose another 248 00:12:36,067 --> 00:12:37,787 Speaker 3: crusader without him being a crusader. 249 00:12:37,867 --> 00:12:42,227 Speaker 2: So it's win win, absolutely win win, all right, James, wellot, 250 00:12:42,267 --> 00:12:43,947 Speaker 2: great to get the chance to chat to you on 251 00:12:43,947 --> 00:12:46,667 Speaker 2: Easter Sunday.
