Speaker 1 (00:00):
Guy Hebeld andrews Avla, very good morning to you All Blacks.
Sav I enjoyed, like the previous two games, I enjoyed
in a shame we lost, but you know, probably a
decision that you might have changed your mind a different circumstances.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
But a good game, thrilling test match which you always
want to see. You want to see a close game.
But the All Black should have won that. They'll be
kicking themselves too many ears in the second half. They
had a heap of possession in the first half. They
should have been up by fifteen or twenty at half time.
Just a few defensive lapses here and there. The defense
is pretty good against Island, but there were a few
holes against the French. When the French they were lacking

(00:36):
six or seven key starters. So that's a very good
effort on their behalf. The crowd certainly lifted them. I
would have gone for the corner, of course, you would
have last.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
It's because you're a winner. It's because you're a winner.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
With a spine. I'm a gambler, mate, you and you
eat pressure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have a feeling And
Scott Robertson has sort of intimated it last night or
this morning that there was a call that came down
from the box. Whether or not Scott Barrett took that
on board and made his own decision is a little

(01:09):
bit unclear. The concern is that a lot of commands
are possibly still coming down from the box when they
don't need to. There's a lot of experienced players on
that field too much. They should have made the call
to go for the corner because even if you cock
up the line out, the French are still stranded on
their goal line and there's still a chance to get
the ball from another line out and put them under

(01:30):
precise pressure again. So anyway, that's Test Match forty. A
few wonky calls from the ref but you get that.
But I just think the All Blacks eras in the
second half two two.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Okay, So let's leap a head guy and say they'll
beat Italy, which they will and presumer they'll beat them
reasonably easily. So that's one loss, four wins. That's a
reasonable tour for the year end, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
The tour I think overall has been great. I'd give
it a very high pass mark this end of year tour,
only just losing to France a game that yes, says right,
they probably should have won, and if we look at
the season as a whole, that's kind of been a scene.
They should have beaten South Africa's Wie. They lost both
those games. Their worst game of the year was against Argentina.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
That's the result that really sticks in the back of
the throat. That's the that's the one that though, that
will sit under the old beach tail over the summer.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
There's a couple of things out of the game that
ones to do with rugby itself. And see I've kind
of mentioned it around the officiating and I'll just keep
beating this drum until someone listens. TMO. There's just way
too much interference from the TMO all the time, and

(02:45):
it's slowing the game down and they're still getting calls wrong.
I mean, how could that possibly have been a nick
roll against off with Toonga Farci. That was a terrible
call and it gave the French a little bit of
an escape at a stage where the game was at
quite a point. The other one is around the All
Blacks and why they subbed cam Roy guard he was

(03:07):
and they subbed him with twenty seven minutes together. I
just thought that was a strange decision. I know they've
probably they've got this idea of fresh legs and all
that sort of stuff. They didn't look tired, and I
would have kept him on the park.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
He was great.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Two questions, which is better the Irish National anthem or
the French.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
French?

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:26):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I think if you, if you ever get a chance
to tick a couple of things off your bucket list,
one is to hear the Welsh anthem at Millennium Stadium,
although the way they're playing Gee Wizards, it's a bit
a bit of a concern there. But the second one
is the La macellais in Paris. It is just absolutely.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
They sing with the prime. I mean, France has got
a lot of problems, but the way they sing, the
level of patriotism is unmatched. As far as we look
as usual embarrassed and we sing two versions and it's
just it's sort of a bit of.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
A dude, and we need someone to defend us, and
we're in trouble and everything's going downhill, and meanwhile the
French appears rolling gam their cheeks. Argentina is similar. I
thought what the French did with the Harker was superb.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
It was good, wasn't it?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
French running absolutely stunning? Yeah, awesome.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Did you watch the boxing?

Speaker 3 (04:18):
That was the biggest waste of half an hour or
forty minutes or so of my entire life.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
But were you expect at least you didn't have to
pay at least you didn't have to pay extra for
it. It was included on your mid this is this is true?

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Was I expecting anything else? Well, we getting watched the
videos that emerged from Mike Tyson's training. I kind of
was expecting a little bit more. And I've decided now
that the only fifty plus year olds that I like
to see fighters one of you two if you get
in the round?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
What was the guy law? Lloyd Mayweather? Remember he did
some fight like that And that was the beginning of
the end of serious sport at that level. Wasn't it
that that was.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Against color McGregor was or something like that?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
And they're all successful, they're all of massive moneymakers, but everybody.
What fascinates me is everyone surprised afterwards that somehow it
was anything more than a joke, and.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
A lot of people still continued to watch it. Mike
and it gains attention.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, I guess, but I mean, I just, I just,
I mean he's he's an old dope, smoking, dead weight
Tyson and the other guy's an attention seeker, and therefore
it was what it was, wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Did you see the view has summ did with him
before the fight? No, so his son was the interviewer
in the in the in the locker room, it sounded lot.
I said, yeah, this is Tyson's son, he said. He
started an interviewed by calling him dad look just a
little bit odd, and Tyson mumbled a couple of answers.
Then he walked away with no pants.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
On, and it went downhill from there. Guy, where does
Tim Saldy sip?

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Right right right up there? Second only to Sarah Richard
Hadley in terms of wickets taken for New Zealanders and Tests.
I think he has more than three hundred wickets and Tests,
more than two hundred look ats and odiis, and more
than one hundred wickets and t twenties. I'm not sure
if there's any other bowler in the world who has those,
and if there is not many of them, I think

(06:16):
it's going to be one of those situations where yes, okay,
he's struggled recently, but I still think it's going to
be one of those situations where we don't know what
we had until it's gone. He was a great player, okay.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
And sad Chris Wood, who's first New Zealander.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Wanting to bring this up?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
You will, yep, been wanting to bring this up.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I got in first. Don't don't like I've raised it?

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Don't I want you to.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Do it as well? And then come on mate, jeez
sorry safe. Let me come to my point. First ever
New Zealander to be awarded English Premier League Player of
the Month. He flies, am I correct? Under the radar ish,
doesn't he?

Speaker 2 (06:55):
He does compared to Harland and Cellar and guys like
that in the UPL year, what he's done is quite remarkable.
It's a late career resurgence. He was a little bit
on the outer at Nottingham Forest. You know, he's been
through four or five Premier League teams. He's had a career.
It's lasted a dozen years, which is fantastic for New
Zealand to begin with. But to do what he's doing
now in his early thirties, he's pretty much in his

(07:18):
well we look at him and he's in his prime,
snaffling goals left, right and center. And there's a great
thing about Chris. What is that? Well, number one, Mike,
it's very rare for in his inland and to make
the ep O like say Steven Adams in the NBA.
It's even more rea to have someone starring in the EPL.
And then he gets on a plane to come home
to play Vanuatu and some more. You've got to give

(07:38):
him a huge pat on the back for doing that.
Very patriotic.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
How did we handle that guy? Would you have raised
it and done it the way I just did that?

Speaker 3 (07:45):
I think he did very well. I'll give you a
flying pass mark. But that was pretty much what I
was gonna say. What says said like to be just
by an Earling Harland in terms of the overall goalscorers.
I mean, Earling Harland is a superstar in the world
of football, and he's level with most Salah in terms
of most goals scored in the Premier League this season.
And as sav Rightley mentions, he could quite easily have

(08:08):
I don't know, made up an injury or just not
bothered to come home for with respect these games against
the likes of Van Wau and then tomorrow and he's
made the effort to come back. He scored two goals
against Vanatu on Friday night.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
I think everyone scored against didn't they.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, but you know I would have got you a
nudge one and yeah, worry but this is my point.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
You know, they didn't need him, and he's come home
and he's just this is you know, good on. I'm
awesome to see.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
That he is about the and once you've got to
remember Mike, because these Premier League clubs, they don't pick
a key we out of charity. Right's got to be
a very and to put it at that level is
is outstanding as.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Playing Vano two as part of the qualifying process for
the World Cup. Why don't they just simply for the
World Cup, say any country that wants to win to
cam because it's sort of become fascal, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's too bloated.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
I mean we used to not go because we get
beaten by Australia and then they invent their current category
where we play people who can't play football and we
win and then we'll pop up at the next World Cup.
But then again, so will everybody.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Well, yeah, it's changed this time because I think, what
is it forty sixteens or something like that.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
I mean, that's ridiculous, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
It is. It's crazy. We used to have to go
through this sort of thing and then play what was
it second or.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Third Central America or South America.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, yeah, and that would be the biggest test. And
now they've got rid of that part, I think, and
we just have to win the OFC Nations Cup or
whatever it is and we get through the World Cup.
So yeah, I think it's a little bit. I think
it's going to be a bit convoluted when it gets
to the World Cup itself. I think that's going to
be a bit of a disappointing side of things. It's
too easy to get in.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Essentially, great money's been a for ZIN football and great
for n ZIN football to have the team with the
World Cup. But some other sides, some other probably better sides,
are going to go and miss out. But that's FIFA's
planned to spread around the globe. Data DA DA. Speaking
of money, what's happen with ab women? Race horse?

Speaker 1 (10:05):
We got guy?

Speaker 3 (10:09):
We've got three options.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
The horses got one one one's got three legs. One's
got two, one's got four.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Well, so so there's only there's one option where we've
actually got a specific horse and it has already won
a trial owned by a man by the name of
David Voice who also bred the horse down in Canterbury.
I'll send you an email with all these details might
so you can go and decide who you want t
have also got in touch. They are keen to be involved.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
Horse.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Do they do horses? They've got horses.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
So racing is one of the biggest stables in the country.
They produce or train or own some of the best horses.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Okay, so we've got an individual horse, we've got we've
got an established provider of horses.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yep, we've got another provider of horses who syndicate horses,
who are great people in social racing, and they are
looking to get a horse at the ready to run.
Sales were char in about or ten days or so,
or maybe next week, and they will find a nice
horse for us as well.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
So nice I don't want a nice hornet, a nice horse.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
We're not making We're not taking kids for rides around
the bloody surfus attic or a bloody A and p show. Well,
I amend this mate to make money. I don't want
to spend I want to make millions.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
I don't think you're listening to me. We've got to
get to the ready to run sales next week, and then.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
We'll find the horse.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
At the moment we've we've got well ut less we

who's won a trial.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
So what I'll do All these details I'll.

Send you through an email and then you can delve
a little bit deeper.
