Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're going to the Coastal Rugby Club where the All
Black team has just been named. Smiley Barrett, the great
man that he is, father of three All Blacks, has
climbed up a Norfolk pine to get some reception. Have
I got your Smiley you can hear me? Well, it's
always a bit wondy in Coastal Taranake. That's why you
love it, Okay, the naming of the squad man, you
(00:21):
must be you, You and Robin must be very very proud. Obviously,
three boys and the All Blacks. Scott's the captain, Jeordie's
the vice captain, and Bowden's the most capped. Were there
any surprises for you in this All Black team?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, Jeremy is extremely proud of going. We chears the
reading of the All Blacks here and three and me.
It's a blessing really, so extremely paired. Robert and I
back to well. I think was picked on form there.
So there's obviously some disappointed boys are not in there,
but obviously some lads have been injured during the year
(00:59):
so they haven't been on the on the track. So yeah, Tomasya,
he's been in Fabian Holland from from the Deep South.
I've been very good performers, you know, for the Hanadas.
So they've got their rewards, young Olie Nas young, up
and coming prop Jason Ron was quite happy just the
way he's progressing. Who else was there, Chris Joey's one more?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, you mean the new ones? Yeah, Brody McAllister Brody McAllister,
Olin Norris, Fabian Holland, Dupless Carrefi and Timothy Taa. Look,
I note Smiley that they've named. Let me have a
look at this piece of paper. They've got six midfielders
in there. One of them is injured Anton Lennard Brown,
but they've got injury cover in them for him. Interestingly,
(01:46):
they've only named five loose forwards. And I think the
one that perhaps stands out to me, and I'm going
to have Jeremy Rooks on a wee bit later he'll
be squealing like a stuck pig is Ethan Blackadder because
Cheesey play well for the Crusaders.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, well, I know what, It's just a fairness. Ethan's
know how many games he's played this year, but just
maybe looking at just durability of him, you know, I mean,
some guys just keep turning up to work, you know.
I mean, I know he doesn't shy away from work.
But you know, if you have injured, you can't get
on the track, you know, so maybe that was a factor.
But yeah, I've obviously got cover in the locking department
(02:26):
with Tupo and Scotti can play six as well, you see,
so maybe they're looking at that, you know. So, but
your questions, asked Jos later.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well that's fair enough. Look, this must be I mean,
it's a feather in your cap and the Barrett family
cap to have three guys in the All Blacks. If
Cain hadn't had an injury, it might have been four.
But to have the naming of the All Blacks at
your local rugby club where you've spent a lifetime, you
must be very proud about that as well.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Extremely proud. Yes, there's all Blacks come out of the
end this club. I mean obviously Grabb Mary and Mark
Robinson are both here today. Yeah, so you're extremely proud.
Some rich history. And there's a lot of a lot
a lot of young, young young juniors here today too,
(03:15):
you know. So it's just great for them that, you know,
just to see where these orbacks come from, you know,
they don't come from the big clubs in town. And
you know, I mean they're pushing these days that you know,
they should be straight out of school and into super team.
You know, that's rubbish. You know, they've got to leave
school and you know, gage apprenticeship and just learn how
to get up and do a day's work. You know.
But that just just just gives you know, these men
(03:39):
the orses and get good values for life, you know.
And yeah, so do you reckon.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
That's why the Barrett boys are so ground that they
grew up in a family where they had to get
out of bed and help on the farm.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, it's too right, it's too right. I mean I
do for young Dup believes crazy crazy. He went to
school with Jordie. He was a hard peck actually for
you know fans, Douglas's real. It's another boy. Ever, it's
another all black gives you Conradees here today as well,
Comrade Smith. Yeah, I mean they just keep the dupe
is to get up at five o'clock in the morning
(04:10):
and do the old milk run back in the day,
you know. So yeah, it's just discipline, discipline, hard work.
And Jase Ryan said that, you know, he's a story really.
I mean, Doopy was looking at going overseas last year
and he just Jase sent him some targets to do
and he's met those targets and like I say, everyone's
been sort of packing him, you know, how to be
in the all blacks, and here he is. You know,
so you played them?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, good on you. Are you going to get any
farming done this winter or you're just going to be
on the road, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I've been My staff had been away for since the
end of May and they're not back until July. So
I'm going you know, talk about productivity on the farm.
You know they talk about a five day working week, Well, jeez,
I'm doing their ten days work in seven, you know,
are you.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Going to make it down to the need? And for
the first test, we'd like to see you down here
and shout you.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
With bea down here and robins twice as efficient than me.
She can do seven days, she can do fourteen days
and seven days work. But no, well, as much as
we'd love to, we're supporting Xenna and it's just a
class un least she's doing high rocks and in the
open cast in Sydney, So unfortunately we'll be over there.
(05:19):
We can't be at two places once, Jeremy, but will
be in the other two venues no doubt.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, well, it must be a bugger to have such
a talented family. You are the first. You are the
first family of New Zealand rugby. The Barrett Smiley thank
you very much for your time. Congratulations to your three
lads for being named again in the All Blacks. And
as I said, a feather in your cap that the
named the team at the Coastal Rugby Club going back
to rural heartland New Zealand. It's great, isn't it.

the coast.
