Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
McKay on Sport with farm lands, prevent Harris on outbreaks
and score a wind this summer. Okay, Well, he's standing
in the middle of the fielding sailiards as he does
on a Friday, goes down for his cup of tea,
Hamish mackay MacKaye on Sport. I can hear the cows
or the stairs bellowing in the background, Hamish.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
If they are there. A few cents down a kilogram
this week, Jamie, But you know plenty of numbers going
through and smiles on the face of the farmers, you know,
right across. Well it may not, you know. I think
it's across the country, isn't it. But certainly here in
the manner with on a lovely sunny day and fielding it.
We've had enough moisture to the grass is growing, so
we aren't quite suffering some of the problems for the

(00:39):
rest of the country has in terms of a bit
of bit dry.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Are you looking forward to the Welsh Test or is
it a box ticking exercise?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I feel way, but I'm looking forward to it because
I want to see how Ruben Love goes.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Now.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
I don't think he I think he's a natural ten,
and I think that's where we were going to see.
You know, this guy takes on the line with no
respect for his own safety. He does not lacking his
tinal fortitude. So fifteen, I'm happy to see him playing,
and I'm happy to see d Mat get another run.
I'm happy to see, you know, Rico our center get
another go. But you know, a Welsh side there's only

(01:12):
just beaten Japan and they've lost. You know, it's not
a lot to get excited about. But I suppose we've
got to look for green sheets that we I like
Christian Leo early on the bench. I think he's been
one of the big wastes of the year in terms
of we saw how good a ball carrying number eight
was in Being Hills. You know, we need one like
Leo Willie to come out and do that. And just
by the way, I just said, did you see that

(01:33):
missus come out from the Chief Center that said the
horror movie that's been banned, Annihilation at tracking Them no
longer allowed to be watched.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Right, Hey, Peter Archives seems to be a good ball
carrying number eight. But I wouldn't describe him as a
monster of a man. He's built more like a seven
than an eight.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Well, if you look at Peter Larkey made about eighty
en tackles or something. But if you're judging who was
the best number eight on the field, the Englishman an
English open side underhill. He had us for dinner. Those
guys in the collision win every time and they get
over the advantage line. I don't want activity or pretty
passes from Satiki. I want guys hitting guys hard, taking
three or four with them and giving our backs front football.

(02:13):
That's why that's what we're not getting from this at bit.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Ok couple to quickly finish on because I'm running short
on time. How good are the ash is going to
be starting this afternoon in Perth?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
They're going to be absolutely outstanding. I love this thing.
I'm going on the background between the retired Panasar and Smith,
the Aussie captain, where he's been given him. Apparently Panasa
was on on Mastermind and he thinks America is a
village Oliver twisted as a season weather season and Athens
is in Germany. So Steve Smith said he's not really

(02:41):
that qualified to have a crack at me, is he? There?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
You go?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Can't wait for the air and have.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
We got the right person coaching or going to be
coaching the silver Ferns.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well, yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, Yeah, the fillin didn't do a bad job, a great.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I thought, did a very honorable and head held high.
And then she said back to school, back to Tiffany,
back to sin Stephens on Monday. And yeah, I think
I think that's you know, I think out of the
whole messy kind of like you know, scenario that it was,
she's come out of it with her head held high
and did a great job. And now let's just hope

(03:19):
we can get on with it.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Got on your homush, enjoy the rest of your day
at the fielding Stocks. Is Sail Lyard's right smack in
the middle of town.
