Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Trying to keep an eye on the All Blacks. Sunday morning,
ten past nine out of Soldier Field, Gallaheras Cup, first
of the formatch Northern two. That the All Blacks have
them named their side. No real surprises that Boden Barrett
back into the number ten position. The rest of the
team pretty much as expected. Peter Lackeye at number eight,
very similar to the team that we saw run out

(00:21):
at Perth, quick to pire as joining Jordy Barrett in
the midfield. Year ten past nine, we went one hundred
and eleven years unbeaten against Island. I mean since twenty
sixteen Ireland at won five times. So Ireland haven't had
any warm up games to come into this after the
sixth Nations, so they'll be fresh. But sometimes you're a
little bit rusty as well. But we know what Ireland
can do and it should be an absolute crack up

(00:43):
and lets the All Blacks get away to a winning start.
That's at ten past nine. As you said Someday morning,
if you are sleepless, then you can't get through the
night without waking up and having two sleeps in the
same night. The All Black fifteen play the Barbarians in
Brentford at two o'clock on. That's the team that Jamie
Joseph is coaching, and there's four All Blacks and amongst

(01:03):
the twenty three former All Blacks amongst the twenty three
men team that's lined up for that. So rugby action
this weekend sees plenty of internationals around the globe, but
most eyes will be on the All Blacks, as you said.
From Chicago Rugby League action, the Kiwi Ferns are an
action against the Jill Arrouse at Eden Park in the
first of a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon three thirty five.

(01:25):
And the Pacific Championship the Keiwis take on Tonga at
six five. The Kiwi's pretty much assured of a place
in the final unless Tonger can get up and win
by seventeen points, which is probably highly unlikely. The A
League action, the two top or two of the three
top leading teams are both New z Islanders Auckland FC
hosting Adelaide United that is five o'clock tomorrow afternoon from

(01:48):
go Media Stadium or Auckland first equal with Wellington Phoenix,
who are away at Gosford on Sunday evening at at
seven o'clock when they take on the Cent Coast Mariners.
So both New Zealand teams off to good starts there.
The ICC Women's Tea ODI World Cup Final a surprise

(02:09):
last night for me after Australia got to three hundred
and thirty eight that's a big score in women's od I,
but then they got run down by India and India
are now in the final against South Africa against ball
odds and so India who have never won the World
Cup even though they've got a great cricketing history. They've

(02:30):
been to the final twice back in two thousand and
five and twenty seventeen. They make the final along with
South Africa who knocked over England and another upset in
the first of the semi finals yesterday, and so South
Africa have never even been to a final, so this
is someone's going to win that silverware for the very
first time. Talking cricket action, the third ODI against England

(02:52):
is in New Zealand at Sky Stadium and Wellington. First
ball bolt at two pm tomorrow and that's the end
of the series against England before the black Caps take
on the West Indies in the first of their matchups
that's on Wednesday at Eden Park at seven fifteen and
a T twenty International MBL that is tonight nine point

(03:13):
thirty New Zealand Breakers in ninth position. They've got a
chance though, because they're up against the Illawarra Hawks are
an eighth They Breakers had a really tough start to
their campaign in twenty twenty five. And then the one
hundred k New Zealand Champs are on at Hagley Park.
I think it starts seven o'clock North Hagley, forty laps

(03:33):
of a two point five k circuit Sunday morning, seven o'clock.
If you feeling energetic, you better get your entry in.
But you might be still recovering from eating chili, so
I'll let you off
