Doctor John Doc Mayhew O n 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: z M passed away this afternoon surrounded by loved ones. 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 2: This is difficult for people in the in the Rugby community. 6 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 2: He's been around so long with rugby. He was the 7 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 2: first guy who was the doctor for North Harbor Rugby. 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: It's a life member of North Harbor Rugby. That's looking 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 2: way back when, of course he went on to be 10 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 2: the All Black doctor four one hundred and thirty one tests. 11 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: I think it was so it's spent a lot of 12 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: time around the All Blacks, which suggests he's not only 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 2: very good at what he did, he's also a really 14 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 2: nice guy and people wanted to be around him. My 15 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 2: personal experience of doctor John Mayhew look only spoke to 16 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: him a couple of weeks ago, and I think everybody 17 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: when they are faced with the death of somebody they 18 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: know they immediately. But I was just talking to him. 19 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 2: Hard problems there, but he was always wonderful to talk to, 20 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: super super friendly, really knowledgeable. I think the legacy who 21 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 2: leave is not the fact it was an all Black 22 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: doctor nor Harbor doctor. As he was so hot on 23 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: concussion and concussion protocols. That was really really important to him. 24 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 2: The way the world develops and treats head injuries, how 25 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: serious they take it, what methods have to be used 26 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 2: to mitigate the problems with head injuries? 27 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: So very sad. 28 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 2: Super Super said, Hey, Channel nine over in. 29 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: Australia that signed a new deal with Rugby Australia and 30 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: if the Aussie teams win then nine will pay Rugby 31 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: Australia more money. 32 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: Well there's extra money, which I think is an interesting 33 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: idea because that they're saying that the Australian teams win 34 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: some Super Rugby comps and you know the Wallabies win 35 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: some big competitions. Well are they going to do that? 36 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: A safe bet? Do you think that any ass team 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: is going to win Super Rugby? But if after all 38 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: they've made a whole lot more money a significant thing 39 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: out of this. It doesn't include the twenty seven World Cup, 40 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: but nine are currently negotiating with that. So it's Wallabies, 41 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: Wallaroos and Super Rugby fixtures and Means and women's competition. 42 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: It comes on nine and the sub screening service stands 43 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: Sport there's no longer free to air rugby once they 44 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: take this over in Australia, which I think is standing 45 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: for a lot of people there. 46 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, do they say what the deal's worth. 47 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: According to people in the know, they're going to bank 48 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: an extra sixty five million bucks in this deal, would say, 49 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifteen million dollars in cash and kind advertising. 50 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: Thekers good. 51 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: How many people would you have watching how many rugby 52 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: fans in Australia versus New Zealand because it's obviously not 53 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: as popular there as it is here. But in terms 54 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: of total fan numbers do you reckon that? 55 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: Wait, it's gone art because Jack Meresley, who who is 56 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 2: the CEO of supergues on with Mike Asking this morning 57 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: talking about the increase in eyeballs and apparently it's gone 58 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 2: up thirty percent this year in Australia.
