Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This All Black teams come out and I'm huffing and
puffing a bit.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
But that's not me, that's Lowey's truck. Low How are you?

Speaker 3 (00:09):
I'm good? Thanks? Hamis nothing wrong with this courtesy vehicle
I'm driving him? Oh?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Is that right? What is it? Not got a windscreen
or something here?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
It's it's like sitting on a bench seat.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yeah, Hey, sever Ree, I'm sorry, Finlay Christy, I'm sorry Razy.
You've come out with the All Black team, and I
feel like I've taken a giant step backwards in terms
of I know there's no.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Noah Hope them available and Monty Na.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I know they've got injuries, but I don't know Lowey,
I would have thought that they're not team, they're not
players who are going to take us.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Forward to a World Cup. That'd be just a couple
of my real complaints.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yeah, you know, sever Reese was outstanding at super level,
but he hasn't tried to buy it and then got
left out. Tin Lay Christy had an awful probably super
game super season and then bang he's in the team again.
But that's only through injury. And I think you know,

(01:10):
if Jamie Joseph hadn't had that team available, I think
it might have been different because a couple of young
players will get a good chance there.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, I guess that's I guess that said.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Thinking into the team comes by a playes to Vita
muffer Leel. He's a solid young scrummager who they obviously
putting some faith in with no Torrell Lomas.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah, you know down Warranton could have been unlucky there too,
but you know we're talking about the fifth and sixth
in the position. So yeah, it's good the blood a few.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, and no offer Tom la Farsi, of course he's
been out for the long haul. Radio NPC Gee Old
Counties nearly did the job.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
A bit of the old Counties of old.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
They were always ultra competitive and they were five in
a row going into the quarter final against the Red
and Blacks and almost did it.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, and I think on both countings, and Hawk's Bay
proved when you've got nothing to lose show course into
the one and both teams played very well and.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Not there yeah yeah, look the other result the Otago
team and Bay a plenty. I mean they'll be two
of the real comers that they'll fight out one one
semi final.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
But you know you can't.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Otago been pretty consistent from day one in this competition.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
They have, but the sea saw that happened with the
boys from Wakato wasn't probably a good dress rehearsal where
I think the Bay of Plenty dismantled Tasman. So you know,
you think you have the Bar of Plenty on a
bit of hot form where Otago probably have had good

(02:51):
four more year. But can they bring another one to
the table.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, and Hawk's Bay of course into the semi final.
I mean, did you know not that you know? I
know I shouldn't be, I shouldn't speak, you know about
the Hawks playlight this. I've got a bit of a
drought going on and everything but cheese. There will be
cocker hoop and almost unbearable. Weren't they going into semi
final and they'll rap themselves against Canterbury.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, like counting has proved, you've got a chance, you know,
step up to the plate, have a go and you know,
don't leave anything out there, just go at all and
I think both Counties and Hawks pain showed it this
last week. Countings fell short. You know it's one hundred
minutes with them. Beside that game where I think the

(03:33):
Hawks Bay just went from strength to strength against Taranak
Karanake's had a bit of a mayor of a season
on all. So yeah, that's the results went the form way.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Haven't do you watch a bit of the Bathroost, Lourie?
Do you sort of?

Speaker 1 (03:48):
You know, I don't picture you watching bathists, but I
have seen that big lazy boy cheer that you've gotten
the slippers that just beside it. So I imagine you
could have killed off a Sunday afternoon quite easily.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah we did. Do you spend the afternoon sharing hoggins?

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Sharing hoggets? Well? What do you not want to give me?
The caller? Do you know? Do you not want famous
Jack Fagan mackay and your ship?

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah? Yeah, working health and safety. We don't want any deaths.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
You're a hard man, Lowey. Okay, well yeah, yeah, thanks
very much for the compliment.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
You know, I'll take it right, are Lowe? Always good
to check with you and we'll know. We'll probably later
on the week, maybe preview those semi finals.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
There we go, Richard.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Lower which way are you going to the semifinal two? Win?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
What they have plenty of Canterbury Final could be yeah, yeah, plenty.
What's your call? Then I'll write it down now so
I can.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
I think that you're very close type yeah

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Right, thanks very much, thank you,
