Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nisbo. Have you adjusted your clocks morning?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yeah? The kids? I have, Yes. It takes a really
well unfortunately, things like your phone change automatically, don't they you?

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Thank Goodness in the car though that thing can just
stay as it is for the next six months too
much trying to figure that way out. Also had to
do a bit of clock juggling to make sure I
caught the start of the All Blacks was the earlier
kickoff on set today? Where do we start here? Much
improved performance, remain unbeaten at Eden Park?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, much improved, absolutely well. It couldn't get any worse,
could it really after what happened against the spring Box.
But yeah, good, very good. Retaining the birds like cup
takes a lot of pressure off quite clearly. A few
worrying signs though, I mean leaving by twenty to three
and then the Wallabies were a bit of a chance
towards the end to win the game, But I think

(00:49):
overall very satisfying. The impact of someone like cam Roygard
was quite phenomenal really, and so they do it all
again in Perth next weekend.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
What's your take on two test Blitterslow feels but me
not to have the best of three like most other competitions.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, I think it's a time factor. I'd be very
much in favor of it. Absolutely. It's pretty tough on
the Aussies because they can win one and not get it. Yeah.
You know, if it was best of three every year,
I think that would be something much fairer from the
airport of view, because of course they haven't seen it
for twenty odd years.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
In saying that though, it was the Aussies that changed it, yeah, yeah,
you're so for twenty three long years.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
South Africa leading the Rugby Championship after a big win
over the Permas. Did you catch that strange try? It's
been a year of strange tries, but where it was
a a drop goal, sorry a line kick out and
then one of the Permas caught it and then and
then managed to score.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
No, I didn't see that.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Oh you have to go and watch it back. It's
it was bizarre.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
But anyway, I've got the game on tape year, so
I'll go and have a look at it.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Managed to respond to invengeance there to keep things interesting.
MPC in the competition here saw its first draw between
Canterbury and the Taifa yesterday. Not an easy thing to
do with this golden point.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
No it is not, no, no, I watched most of
that game and it was it was really close for contest.
I don't think Canterbury took their very best team up
to Northland, but it was a good scrap and as
you say, it was equal after eighty minutes and then
of course it becomes ten minutes of golden point. Canterbury
had a chance to win it, but mister penalty right
at the very end, and as a consequence they had

(02:36):
to share the points. So but at the end of
the day it was probably more important for Northern it
was for Canterbury Northland holding on to the chance of
making the top eight. Canterbury of course will host a
Corter final when the time comes. But an intriguing.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Game and with one rounds to go there's still six
teams fighting for a top four position, which is awesome
to see so quick looks like the ryder Kappa is
heading bank to Europe and what could be the most
convincing whenever, despite the crowd, what have you made that
over the weekends? Those Americans?

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, pretty obnoxious, you know, chanting when players are trying
to patch and trying to play shots, and there was
a bit of a blow up between some of the
players which was quickly resolved. But when it's on that
side of the Atlantic, it can get a little bit
boisterous as feet to say, twelve five to Europe. I'm
watching it at the moment and they are up in

(03:31):
five of the singles games as well, so they've booked
as they've got it well under control.
