1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,560
Speaker 1: Ellison.

2
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 2: Morning morning, another big sporting weekend. What are you up to?

3
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: What it is? I'm going to set the alarm for

4
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning and tune in for our Black Ferns the Canada.

5
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: This is going to be a doozy six o'clock Canada.

6
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and from Bristol. And then I'm going to do

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 2: two thirty on Sunday morning as well. England playing France

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: the other two semis and I would expect enough of

9
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: that Keen. This will be an easy battle for the

10
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: Black Ferns, but I think they will win this match

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: against Canada and we'll see a repeat of what we

12
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: saw in New Zealand at the last Woman's World Cup.

13
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: I think England will be comfortable winners over France and

14
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: in fact I think England are probably a cut above

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: all teams in this competition. But as we know in

16
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: New Zealand, upsets do happen, and that's what happened last

17
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: time around. And so yeah, the Black Ferns will probably

18
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: be one of the key teams to watch sporting events

19
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: to watch this weekend after the All Blacks have a

20
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: week off, thank goodness. After last week I was down

21
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: and Dunedin did the commentary for the Otago Taranaki game.

22
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: Drove home and drove quite quickly home so I could

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: catch the last twenty minutes. My wife greeted me enthusiastically said,

24
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: you've got to come inside at seventeen ten. I said,

25
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: Ye've been listening to it on the radio. And now

26
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: I wish I had driven a lot slower home because

27
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have had to see the capitulation that the

28
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: All Blacks experience. But anyhow, we'll still it. More rugby

29
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: action apart from the Women's World Cup. Bunnings MPC Action

30
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: Round eight tonight Taranaki take on Hawk's Bay, but All

31
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: Eyes tomorrow on Napolo's Project Stadium. Top of the Table

32
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: clash Cannabry. Well, they used to being top of the table,

33
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: aren't they unbeaten so far this year Otarga, who have

34
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: normally been salad dwellers in the Bunnings MPC or down

35
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: towards the bottom. They struggle to qualify in the top

36
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 2: eight for quarter finals. Well, they are in action. They've

37
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 2: had a really good season so far. And I'll think

38
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: back to nineteen thirty five, what's that ninety years ago

39
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: when they lifted the ran Ferdy Shield for the very

40
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: first time in there. Yeah, that's the very first time

41
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: they lifted the lifted the ran Furley Shield in their

42
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: seven tenures. And they haven't won against Canterbury in a

43
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: ran Furry Shield match since in christ Church, so they'll

44
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: have to make a bit of history. They want to

45
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: do it, but I wouldn't put it past Otago. My

46
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: odds seventy five twenty five in favor of Canterbury. That's

47
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: four point thirty five tomorrow afternoons.

48
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: Although I'm saying that just quickly. Paul I brought up

49
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: with Nisbo earlier. Has this NPC season not been the

50
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: greatest in recent memory? It's just so even so unpredictable.

51
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: Yah, it's a bit like the Rugby Championship, you know, teams,

52
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: teams are going into the matches not really sure where

53
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: you're going to go. Auckland, North Harbor and Counties had

54
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: a wretched start, those three teams, struggling to win games

55
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: in the opening five rounds and now starting to even

56
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: up a little bit. Yeah, it's probably the closest it's been.

57
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's at the most entertaining, and

58
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: certainly the crowd numbers I saw a shot last week

59
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 2: of a match in Hamilton where the players outnumbered the crowd,

60
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: which was quite disappointing. And I know even in the

61
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: last two i've been at in Dunedin there's been around

62
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: about five hundred people sitting in the stands, so not

63
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: a lot of people attending, but certainly it's creating a

64
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: lot of interest and on screens I'm sure quite a

65
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: lot a lot higher than that, And you're right it

66
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: does bring out provincial pride. I think it's still very

67
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: much has a place to play in New Zealand sporting landscape.

68
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: Ara Parmer Cup. Another one, it's the championship final. That's

69
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: the second division Premiership is the top division Otago Spirit

70
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: against Northland Carry. That's on Sunday afternoon from Hunah Park,

71
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: Windswept to Hunah Park. So it'll be interesting whoever wins

72
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: that will go up into the premiership for next year.

73
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: Rugby League Action NL. It's getting to the sort of

74
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: crunch end of the competition, isn't it. First semi final

75
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: Raiders against Sharks. That's tomorrow at nine fifty. Raiders finished

76
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: first in the competition but then got beaten in those

77
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: preliminary rounds and then Bulldogs against Panthers six oh five Sunday.

78
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: Bulldogs favored early on, but the Panthers who finished seventh

79
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: are really quite hot favorites on the tab. So here's

80
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: a team that they are. The defending champions that finished

81
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: seventh in round robin could make their way through. As

82
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: they do that, it will be a magnificent achievement. Woman

83
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: Broncos waiting in anticipation for what will be the primary

84
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: finals next Weekend Breakers, New Zealand Breakers basketball action Tonight

86
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: coming to you from the Spark Arena in Auckland. Remember

87
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: the Breakers last year had a wretched season, but were

88
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: wanting to get off in good form this year. The

89
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: tiny Jamison Trophy. That's netball. Can we talk netball? We

90
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: let's try and find something positive to speak about with

91
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: a sport that's really under siege. Sunday Tomorrow the first

92
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: of a three match Test series against South Africa from

93
