1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Sport with a tab app download and get your bed

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,479
Speaker 1: on our eighteen bed responsibly.

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: Jason Pine sports talkhosters with me, Hello Piney.

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Hello Heather.

5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 2: I can run me through the injury list for the

6
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: All Blacks.

7
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: Okay Toamathy Tabatavannahwe out for twelve weeks, cam Royguard, Patrick

8
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: Twop a lot to know, a Hotham three to four weeks,

9
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: Caleb Park and Luke Jacobson still going to play another

10
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: game of MPC before they're considered. And Cortez or Atama

11
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: in a race against time after a whack to the ribs.

12
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: So quite a few half backs in their heather you

13
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: would have picked up Roy, Guard, Hotham or Atima. So

14
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: we may be in a situation on Saturday night, biggest

15
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: home test probably since the Rugby World Cup Final in

16
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, where we've got a debutant halfback on the

17
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 1: bench Cayle Preston Lot good player but massive pressure on him.

18
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: On the plus side, Leicester fight Engler Nooku was back

19
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: in the All Blacks. The New Zealand Rugby Board have

20
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: ticked off his eligibility, so he comes in. He might

21
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: come straight back and the team that raised the names

22
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: on Thursday going to be very interesting.

23
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: Indeed, Yeah, must be feeling a little bit nervous about this.

24
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: What do you think I think you should be? Yeah,

25
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: I mean I think you should be. It's probably it's

26
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: certainly the biggest test of his genure and like I say,

27
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: the biggest test the All Blacks have played, certainly in

28
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: New Zealand for a very very long time.

29
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: His test of his tenure, well.

30
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: I mean last year he was kind of well he

31
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: was new, wasn't he And he went to South Africa

32
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: and lost both test matches over there. They were big tests.

33
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: But you look at that Eden Park record. You do

34
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: not want to be the All Blacks coach who is

35
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: running the cutter when a test record that stretches back

36
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: to nineteen ninety four falls. You don't want to be

37
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: the coach who oversaw the first loss of Eden Park

38
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: since the mid nineties. And I think also off the

39
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: back of a loss in Argentina the very first time

40
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: that's happened. You don't want back to back unwanted history

41
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: on your CV as All Blacks coach. Heather.

42
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean what you're not saying, but what

43
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: I think you kind of hinted at is that the

44
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: grace period is over like it was. Okay perhaps at

45
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: as to lose two tests the spring Box in your

46
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: first year, but not your second year A you can't

47
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: start losing.

48
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought so. And look, the stats only

49
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: tell half the story. But it took Iain Foster a

50
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: lot longer than this to lose his first five test

51
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: matches as All Blacks coach. That can be looked out

52
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: in a number of ways, of course, but look, I

53
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: think you'd want to win on Saturday night. Put it

54
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: that way, yeah, totally.

55
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: Now is there any chance at all that the Warrior

56
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: is to make the top four?

57
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: Yes they can. Here's what needs to happen, No, there is.

58
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: Here's what needs to happen. They need to beat Manly

59
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: first of all, that's non negotiable. Then they need the

60
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Storm to beat the Broncos and the Bulldogs to beat

61
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: the Sharks. That's it. If those three things happen this

62
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: coming weekend, the Warriors will finish fourth. However, the Storm

63
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: and the Bulldogs know that they can't improve their table

64
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: position at all. They're going to finish second and third,

65
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: so they may well rest some players against the Broncos

66
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: and the Sharks, respectively, which would make victory over those

67
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: teams a lot harder. The Warriors still had to be

68
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: manly as well, and I'm not sure that's a foregone

69
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: conclusion the way they've been playing. I think most likely, Heather,

70
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: they'll finish sixth, and that'll mean the Penrith Panthers more

71
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: than likely the four time defending champions coming to go

72
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: media for a knockout game in a couple of weeks time.

73
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: Poney, that last try that the Warriors scored and then

74
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: were denied, was that fair? I was really sad about that.

75
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: No. No, you cannot tell me he's knock that on

76
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: and I don't see any knock on. No, And you

77
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: can't unequivocally say in the timeframe that the bunker took

78
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: to make that decision, they could unequivocally say Dimitric Vomonga

79
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: said afterwards, Yes, it brushed my fingers, but that's not

80
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: the point. Did it go backwards or forwards? And did

81
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: they have enough time from the camera angles they had

82
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: to say absolutely, beyond a shadow of a doubt that's

83
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: gone forward. I don't think they did.

84
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, Parney, I appreciate that that's Jason Pine
