1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Paul Allison, morning morning, what do you got planned for 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: the weekend? 3 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 2: Parking up and watching a whole bunch of rugby. Hopefully 4 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 2: they've got a stream running from Gisbon for Poverty Bay 5 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 2: to get things underway tomorrow and then hot off the 6 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 2: heels of that. At the earlier time, I thought this 7 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 2: was influenced by you know, Ozzie a Fowl or Nral 8 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 2: or something like that. But no, Nisbe seems to think 9 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 2: it's just for the kids, to make more family friendly. 10 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 2: The first plitterslow at Eden Park. It's been in our 11 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: trophy cabinet since two thousand and three. Don't know if 12 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 2: we're quite as confident about holding on to the thing 13 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 2: as we would have been a few weeks ago. 14 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you all Blacks have had a little bit of 15 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 1: a slip last time, didn't they against South Africa? And 16 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: we talk about slip. We talk about slippers because James Slipper, 17 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: playing one hundred and fifty matches in test matches for Australia. 18 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: When he runs out at Eden Park at five past 19 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: five tomorrow, he joins Allen Wynn Jones and Sam Whitelock 20 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: are the only two world rugby players to have achieved 21 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: that feat any of injuries in the Australian side though 22 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: Tom Right and Andrew Callaway and Nick White retired, Rob 23 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: Valentina and Will Scout and all unavailable, and we know 24 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: that Scott Barrett's not in the All Black lineup. But 25 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: I would expect that the All Blacks will bounce back 26 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: from that disappointing last twenty minutes against South Africa. They 27 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: tend to get back on the horse. But this is 28 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: a really interesting competition. Teams don't seem to be able 29 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: to put two wins together in this competition. I just 30 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: wonder whether or not it's about depth of squad or 31 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: whether or not you know the fact that players struggle 32 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: to put performances together in consecutive weeks. Have had that 33 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: one additional week break this time, so I think the 34 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: All Blacks will get back on track. Interestingly, that five 35 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: past five kickoff time that you talked about, I think 36 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: a few people might get caught out with that because normally, 37 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: you know, you're thinking at seven o'clock. And as both said, 38 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: it's to get the kids in there world. When I 39 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: was in Argentina, there was about a third of the 40 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: audience that were kids, and maybe it is a kid 41 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: friendly time, but I bet you it's not kid friendly 42 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: prices at Eden Park, so. 43 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: It's still a full house house. 44 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: My comment though, is how many of those are actually 45 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: going to be kids that come, because you know, we 46 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: know that financially driven motives are a real part of 47 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: professional sport now, so we'll wait and see. But yeah, 48 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: it is a nice time for families to go if 49 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: they can afford it, and let's hope they've been able 50 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: to attract them by a good pricing structure. MPC action 51 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: plenty of that as well. Auckland getting beaten by Hawk's 52 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: Bay last night means that they're completely out of running 53 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: for the top eight this year. Oh dear, how sad. 54 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: Never mind Otago against North Harbor though I passed one 55 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: tomorrow ran fairly shield on the line. Otago haven't banked 56 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: that and had it in their trophy cabinet over the 57 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: summer for a few years now, because. 58 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: This thing has changed hands more than I change und these. 59 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: It went from Taranaki to Waitkado to South and to 60 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: Canterbury to Otago, very similar to nineteen fifty when it 61 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: was in five different places at North Harbor. Win it 62 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: that will make number six, and here's a team that 63 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: haven't won a game this year and already on the 64 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: social media their fans are saying all will be forgiven 65 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: if you bring the shield back on Saturday. Don't know 66 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: if that will happen because O Tiger are traveling well 67 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: as Canterbury even though they had that little hack up 68 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: last week against a very resurgent Otago team. Canterbury away 69 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: to Northland, who are going well. That's on Sunday four 70 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: thirty five Farah Palmer Cup semifinals. Canoby take on one 71 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: or two tomorrow afternoon Rugby Park one thirty five and 72 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: then Whitecatto against Auckland two five. But it all starts 73 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: tonight at eleven thirty pm, half an hour before midnight. 74 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: The Black Ferns against France and the Women's Rugby World Cup, 75 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: which is the preview or the curtain razor to the 76 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: Canada versus England World Cup final. I don't know either 77 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: team really wants to play in the third and fourth 78 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: playoff and can the Black Ferns salvage some sort of 79 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: pride after getting absolutely spanked by Canada next week. I 80 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: think this a realy close game. I think the final 81 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: will be too. I would expect England to be too 82 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: good and they go in as pretty warm favorites. But 83 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: this Canadian side, I think they've got the darlings of 84 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: the crowd favorites really because they've had the crowd race 85 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: to get there and they're not the same level of 86 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: professionalism or payment with professional players that the English side have. 87 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: So we'll wait and see how that goes. Pulimery Finals 88 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: NRL Raiders against the Sharks tonight at nine fifty, and 89 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: then the Broncos against the seventh place Panthers who are 90 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: the defending champions on Sunday at seven five. So that's 91 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: got some a couple of intriguing matchups there. The tiny 92 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: Jamison Trophy, well, it's all wrapped away already. This is 93 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: the third Test match in New Zealand versus South Africa 94 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: and Netball in the Cagle first Pass at seven forty 95 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: on Sunday evening. Right A Cup Golf starts in Farmingdale 96 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: and New York later on this evening, twelve players and 97 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: each of course, I think the States will be too 98 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: strong for the rest of the for their opposition for 99 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: the rest of Europe and or Europe and the rest 100 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: of the World and AFL Grand Final Geelong versus Brisbane 101 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: if you can understand AFL, have you ever got grips 102 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: with what that actually is all about? Four point thirty 103 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: tomorrow at Geelong in West Sydney. But yeah, it's again 104 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: that I haven't quite figured out how it all works. 105 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: Plenty of bouncing, plenty of passing, plenty of aerial work. 106 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's spoiling action if I missed anything. What 107 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: have I missed? 108 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: Not that I can think of, mate. That is a 109 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: very stax men you bring on the weekend.
