Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi to you, Paul Allison, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
What's your weekend hold?

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Well, a little bit of local happenings and then a
little bit of trying to catch as much sport as
I can. But the times are just all over the place,
as fixtures are coming at us from all corners of
the earth. I guess I've got eyes on the heartland
fifteen out of some over tomorrow afternoon. Not sure if
I'm going to be yes, I was at four o'clock.
I thought it was two.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I've got four o'clock on.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
My Yeah, well you'd know. That's why we have you on. Okay.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yeah, Well they played the Samo on Presidents fifteen last
weekend and they won thirty one to fourteen. This one
hears the Samoa and fifteen, so probably some of the
same faces, but it'll be another good contest. But yeah,
four o'clock tomorrow afternoon up here is where that matches
then work. Yeah, well that's one of them that's at
least in daylight New Zealand time, because you look across

(00:47):
the globe at the International Rugby calendar and we know
the All Blacks are in action. But that match is
at ten past four from Murrayfield, a venue that the
All Blacks have never got beaten by Scotland, and there's
been a couple of drawers over the years and they'll
all back in nineteen sixty three and then nineteen eighty
three when Stu Wilson was a captain it was another
high scoring draw, but the Scotland have never won. But

(01:08):
of course when they run up eighty points against USA
last week, it does just fire a warning shot that
the All Blacks will need to be careful in that
one and just before that if you are an insomniac
at two fifteen New Zealand time on Sunday morning, New
Zealand fifteen or New Zealand and New Zealand fifteen versus
England a from bar And a couple of All Blacks

(01:29):
have been recruited back in from the squad unto that
New Zealand fifteen team. Sevu Reese and Luke Jacobson will
both appear for New Zealand fifteen. And if you are
interested in another international rugby around the globe this weekend,
Italy take on Australia, England take on Figi, France play
South Africa, Wales play argent ten Ireland played Japan, so
an absolute feast of international rugby staying with the same

(01:52):
ball shape but a different code. Rugby League Pacific Championships Final.
This is in Sydney on Sunday out the noon, a
doublehead of the Kiwi Ferns against the jill Arrus. That's
three thirty five. Remember when they played in the round robin,
Australia just narrowly got ahead by ten to six at
the full time whistle. And then the keyw Weis take
on Samoa at six oh five in the final of

(02:14):
the Pacific Championship and when they played it was a
nail bier as well, twenty four to eight en to
New Zealand. So both these matches shape up to be
really close affairs football A League men's in action. This
is the unbeaten Auckland FC are away on the road
in Wellington at the Sky Stadium against Wellington Phoenix. Of

(02:34):
course Auckland first at the moment Wellington third equal in
the table, both unbeaten. That should be a real our
standing match in prospect and their women in the A League.
The Wellington Phoenix played in the earlier match against the
Canberra United. They get kick off their campaign. They had
a bye last week. That's at four o'clock at sky Stadium.

(02:54):
Netball well, yeah, Netball is still alive and so other
silver Ferns believe it or not. Despite all the off
court controversy. They commenced their Northern Tour against Scotland. That's
five am New Zealand time on Monday morning. That's the
first of two Test matches against Scotland. Then they played
three against England. So both New Zealand Netball and New
Zealand rugby up in the up in the Highlands of

(03:16):
Scotland this weekend. A Formula One action from Brazil, so Paulo.
This is race number twenty one in the twenty four
race calendar of Formula One. Las Vegas, Katar and Abu
Dhabi still to feature it in forthcoming weeks. But this
is six o'clock on Monday morning. Lando and Iras three

(03:38):
hundred and fifty seven points, Oscar Pastree three hundred and
fifty six and the Driver's Championship makes the step and
probably out of it three hundred and twenty one. But
if you can get pole in the in the in
the grid, who knows, wouldn't count the step and out
of it just yet and then we've got cricket. Yeah,

(04:00):
well it was a nail by the last night at
Eden Park and the short boundaries. It was just raining
sixers by both New Zealand with Mark Chapman in great form,
and then the Westernies who looked dead and buried needing
one hundred and forty odd runs in the last ten overs,
almost got there, just failed on the last ball and
I think the black Caps won by three runs in

(04:21):
that match. They take on the Westernies in the third
of the T twenties. It's at one all at the moment.
That's from Saxton Oble Sunday first ball bolt at one
fifteen and their fourth T twenties on Monday. Then they
head to duneed And on Thursday to wrap up that.
Then they've got three more one days against the West Indies.
Three Test matches against the West Indies goes to within
three days of Christmas before that finishes, and then poor

(04:44):
trophy round four Tomorrow afternoon. Northern Districts take on Canterbury
who are in second place, Auckland who lead, take on
CD Wellington take on Otago. Plenty of sporting action all
over the place somedaylight some darkness. Don't know where you'll be,
but if you want to watch the all black, she'll
need to get some sleep somewhere along the way.
