Speaker 1 (00:00):
McKay on Sport with farm Lands protect your cross from
nasties this summer Radio Hamish MacKaye cousin Hamish to wrap
it from the fielding Stock Sailyards, Hamish. You actually let
me start with your sharing background. You were good enough
as a junior sharer to compete at the New Zealand
Sharing Jams.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah. I think I made the first first year final
back in about nineteen eighty seven. I used to get
very nervous down at the Golden Shears in one year
my gear was a bit sharp, and oh I just
love the whole atmosphere. It's just all encompassing. What a
great event. And you know it's only getting better, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah? Oh oh yeah. Are you going to make it
down here?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, I'm going to make it down at some stage,
So you keep your phone on, you know, because you
know I'll be hoping you'll be putting your hands down
their pocket. We might have to have a cold something,
you know.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, I'm I'm up for a cold something. I can
tell you, homlessh It's sound very hot in the War
Memorial Stadium here in Master Radio mackay on Sport to
wrap the week. You called it early. You called Dave Rennie,
but that's just because you're biased and from Manor too.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, well I think that. I mean that's not an
unreasonable assumption to make. But I just think of you,
but of your backtrack of it. I just think the
consistency that he's shown through a long, steady career and
the eyes he saw it early. And then they just
had sort of one trust fund kid from out the
eastern suburbs of Sydney Mucket all up and put Eddie
Jones out. Unfortunately, we've got the sort of rebound off

(01:25):
the back of that, and he's lused a lot from that.
I mean, I was amazing. I mean ninety percent of
that His Zealand media had like a Jamie Joseph katsho
on their butt cheek over the last month or so.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Myself included cousin Hayles.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah that's true, but yours. But you know, you've been
such a fit athlete at next when you drop your decks,
it looked good. You know, it'd be an impressive tattoo
of Jamie Joseph. But anyway, that's so, Rennie's got the job.
And I think the nice thing though, is I think
that most people have gone Actually it's okay. Actually we
don't mind that it's not Jamie. For some of the
biggest Jamie supporters, and obviously there's a humble relationship between

(02:00):
them and now we just needs to get on with it.
But I think getting back to that at old school.
But you know, maybe maybe they'll stay at a dirty
old public, the Pine arm and in the old days
and do their own laundry and do a few things,
you know, and get around underneath and play get together.
We'll see how it all pans out. But I'm looking
for today for any taken over.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Are you going to get up early and watch that
T twenty Cricket World Cup Final? How good is that
going to be?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
I just I'm just trying to position this final innings.
You know, do you remember when we love the day
when New Zealand we were getting absolutely toasted when lanced
again set the six sixes and you know, so it
didn't really have it was just to you know, go
at the ambassament. This was one of the most commanding
form of presence innings and just total dominance that I
think I've ever seen. And whether you you know what,

(02:47):
it doesn't really matter what form of the game that
you enjoy. But you have seen somebody so powerful and
so dominant and it had the eye end like that.
That was just you know, there were the cricket example,
to use a sharing analogy of soft hand, bottom tooth down,
you know, all those things. Love her to watch.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Hamus mckaye with Us MacKaye on Sport. As I said,
you know what you're talking about when it comes to sharing, Hamers.
You've competed at the level, albeit at junior level, and
then you went on to be a broadcaster. Who are
you picking for the two big sharing titles?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh look, you know, I'm not sure if I can
get odds on if I could just take a quanella
one two either way to Henderson and roll of Smith
and I has just been a little bit off the
pace until I think by a tour on the weekend.
But day I've been watching following week in week out
right back from the sort of the last World Cup

(03:43):
qualifying around in Martin four or five weeks ago and
just watching them. Just the sort of incremental improvement by
those two and obviously they are in the World Championships
in New Zealanders and I think that they'll reflect the same.
They'll be one and two again in the Golden Year's
Open Final.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Okay, thank you Hamish mckaye and MacKaye on Sport. Will
we will, We'll have one of those two hopefully on
the show on Monday. And I would love to see
Roland Smith win the world title and toer he can
have the Golden Shears Open title.
