1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: Elliott Smith of the Sport. Hey Ellien, Hey Ron, good 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: to have you on. So this guy at the center 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: of the ref abuse controversy in company says it wasn't him, 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: it was the ref. 5 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: This is remarkable, isn't it. Remember they suspended all play 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 2: in Hotophanil Company for a weekend because of this game 7 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 2: Marta College against Corpanty Bolage and then this is the 8 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 2: Marta Vers of Deen coach. Now Darren Pieway has come 9 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: out and said, actually it was the ref who punched me. 10 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: I wasn't part of this at all. Apparently the vision 11 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: supposedly shows him pushing the referee, but he says the 12 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,319 Speaker 2: vision that he's seen hasn't suspended on that. So all 13 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 2: of this has come because they've suspended rugby, as I said, 14 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 2: for a week And now it turns out that maybe, 15 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: of course we're believing one side or here on one 16 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: side of the story here, and we haven't heard from 17 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: Hotophaniel Company have really straight battered this that maybe it 18 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 2: was the referee who sort of rolled up the fist 19 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 2: because Darren Piwai says he shook hands with him then 20 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 2: raised an issue from the game. I think it was 21 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: about the amount of at a time extra time at 22 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: the end of the game, and that was when the 23 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: referee allegedly rolled up his fist and had to crack 24 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 2: it the Marna College head coach. Goodness, So this is 25 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: all going to go to a hearing I think next week, right, 26 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: But there's some part of it that isn't going to 27 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: be presented. There some part of it that's been here separately, 28 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: So it all seems really really murky. So I think 29 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 2: we can all agree that the whole suspending rugby for 30 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 2: a week was probably a good idea to try, and 31 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 2: you stand down on this absolutely, but it feels like 32 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: maybe they've gone about it the wrong way and got 33 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 2: the wrong story and the wrong end of the stick. 34 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: On all of this sounds like it too. Hey, this 35 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: fight tonight Sonny Bill and Paul Gallon, and we've got 36 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: David Nieker as well. 37 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, this is a big night for New Zealand boxing. 38 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: Davinika looking to bounce back from that lost to Jayopataia 39 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: earlier on in the year, which is sort of as 40 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: it does in boxing. You lose, it sort of derails 41 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: your career a little bit and you've got to take 42 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 2: a few steps backwards to go forward again. David Nica 43 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: fighting and next Sho Olampos. On the undercard, the Sonny 44 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: Bill Williams versus Paul Gallon fight. I know you spoke 45 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: to Sonny Bill Williams a few weeks ago. He was 46 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: in good neck for it. Paul Gallon. This is the 47 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: fight that people have been looking forward to for a decade. 48 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: Too oldly floks who never really liked each other during 49 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: their career about to settle some differences. I know there's 50 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: got a big crowd, obviously pay per view audience around here. 51 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 2: I'm fascinated to see how it all unfolds later on. 52 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: Do you know how much it costs to I think. 53 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: It's forty five dollars. It isn't cheap. 54 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: That's more than because I got Sky just for the 55 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 1: game on Saturday, the All Blacks on Saturday Night, which 56 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: I think was about twenty five dollars. Since it's quite pricey. 57 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: Forty five dollars for one night of viewing. I mean, 58 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 2: you get the David Naka fight, you'll get the SBW 59 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: Gallon fight. 60 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: Is someone going to get knocked out quickly? Do you reckon? 61 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: Probably? I think it'll be it'll be done quickly. I 62 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: think they'll both want to knock each other out. They've 63 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: said as much. 64 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: Elliott Good see its trying at the sports talk host 65 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: seven o'clock tonight right here on news Talk Said Beat 66 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: For more from Heather Duplessy Allen Drive, Listen live to 67 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 2: News Talks it'd be from four pm weekdays, or follow 68 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: the podcast on iHeartRadio
