Speaker 1 (00:00):
McKay on Sport with farm Lands protect you from the
nasties this.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Summer radio cousin Hamers, showey you got for the Super
Rugby opener tonight?

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Oh gee, look you know what I've done with this?
I get so wound up about picking results. But I
think it'll be one of the South Island teams. But no,
I'm going to go for the I'm going to go
for the Highlanders, right so you know, I just I've
picked out a few individuals like your boy, the Southland hooker.
I like him Taylor, isn't it Jack Taylor?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
And I'll tell you what hamous. Jack Taylor was born
and bred literally next door to where we are right now.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
He's a ye momo boy, yep, yeah, look.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I tell you what.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
So so there you go. What a coincident. He was
a guy and I a little bit of commentary for
the the MPC last I just like the cut of
who's jib and just looking through his teams that have
guys i'd like to see. He's one i'd like to
see go on with it. These are guys i'd like
to see take the ball by the horns in Super Rugby.
Leo Williet number one because I think he's the best
in the country to too too. Obviously at the Blues

(01:03):
has got a big point to prove before he's off
Love Ruben Love at the Hurricanes, and there's too I've
nailed at the Chiefs, which is Parker on the blind side.
And I hope Jacob gets a bit of time and
the teen Jersey because I think he's very good. But no,
I'm more excited than I thought it'd be. Would be
about the footy and gee has it rolled all round?

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well we haven't only got that tonight Tomorrow night, we've
got Chiefs Blues.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
That's going to be interesting. Chiefs and Crusaders.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
As much as I'm a Hilanders fan, they still look
the strongest sides, you know, if you're.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Looking at if you're looking at it like a you know,
a tennis draw and boom boom boom through to the final.
I think you're right. I don't think there's too much
to scare. This is a that Chief side. There's not
many too many chinks in their armor. They are a
good looking side right across the board and they've got
good depths, so yeah, yeah, look at I think that
they'll get up over the blues in that first one.

(01:53):
But you know, I think that mister Cotta will have
those blues on fire for this season, and given that
a couple of good guys are leaving. But gee, I mean,
I don't know how you have you had time for
Winter Olympics. Have you been watching any of that cousins.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Well, I've been watching Zoey Szadowski, so yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
But I'm out of time here today, Hamish, and we've
still got the World the Cricket T twenty World Champs
as well, so so much going on. Thank you so
much for some of your time. It's always a bit
of a rush when we're doing an ob like this.
