Speaker 1 (00:01):
Cycle killer just sick. What a great Halloween song that is,
talking head psycho killer. It'll be right in this man's wheelhouse.
Not that he's a psycho killer. He's Hamish mackay and
he's having a cup of tea at the Fielding Sallyards
(00:22):
hamous joints us for wait for it, Hamish. I've got
a wee liner here.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
McKay on sport with farm lands. Protect your crops from
nasties this summer.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, hey, good on you, Hamish. Is there anything more
quintessential in New Zealand? And having a cup of tea
at the Fielding sale on a Friday because the salelyards
are right in the middle of town.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Oh, it's just the best cheeky custed squea. You can't
get a park with them about a mile of the
Sallyard here today. And actually nobody's even talking about the
all blacks. You're just talking about the prices he go
through the ring today, unbelievable. It's well, I remember back
of the eighties selling pins of pins of yielding stars
for about what they're getting for one now.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, mind you, you won't be going anywhere near a
customed square with your new slim line figure Hamish.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
No, Well, now that I've got a stomach the size
of a ping pong ball, apparently I can't. I can
sort of get through half of one. Yeah, the old
days when not a had two.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Maybe that's my problem, right. Mackay on Sport, any surprises
in that all black team for you, I.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Was, I'm surprised. It's so conservative, and I just don't
know when you know, Ireland will be very hard in Chicago,
so I kind of understand that you want to stick
with what basically it's a winning team and winning formula
from from last time out, But she at what point
are we going to throw somebody the Reuben Loves or
somebody like that. What's the point in having Damien McKenzie
on the bench for this, right, Reuben Loves should be.
(01:48):
I'm just a bit I think it's a bit conservative.
And of course there's been more fallout from from you know,
the Jason Holland departing after this to a thing. I
don't know whether there's a bit of trouble at Mill
and I worry that maybe maybe a Grand Slam will
sort of cover over a few cracks. But let's hope that.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, Hamush, do you know something I don't know because
you're a good man of a two man, very well
connected Jason holland of course, great man of a two
rugby player. What do you heard?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah? Well, okay, well I'm just going to come out
on the record here and say that that it's the
frustration that was very clear for Leo McDonald leading to
his departure was it's Raiser. You know, Raiser is the gaffer.
But what Graham Henry did so beautifully and then hands
it was they delegated and they trusted to who they
(02:37):
delegated raise his way or the highway. And there's a
real split between the Canterbury players, Crusader players and the
rest of the players.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Mind you, now, mind you that all black managements is
like a shining beacon compared to Netbourne, New Zealand at
the moment, what are dogs breakfast?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah yeah, but we had the dogs breastlest didn't We
were the fosters at scenario, you know, and Raiser going
in there and demand and saying if I'm not made coach,
I'm after England and then he does the whole buller
and you know, I'm you know, yeah, right now, the
netball situation, Yeah, is almost laughable. But I don't know
that rugby is in quite the quite the heart we'd
(03:14):
like it in terms of what might play out after
this tour.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And I see Mark Robinson's come out and had to
swipe at in Foster.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah, I haven't seen that's what he is. He sort
of a bit well.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I think he's taken umbrage at some of the things.
I haven't read the story either, I just read the headline.
He's taken umbrage at some of the things that Foster
perhaps had on his book.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, well, Foster has every right there a bit of
a crack factor. I mean, Robinson has gone there to
slay them, you know, that's that's the reality. And it
was just the Sam White lot to this world and
who you know. I'm not necessarily saying Sam was wanted
to do this, but they went into bat for Foster
and probably give zumped what Robinson was trying to achieve,
which was to have Razorhm there sooner than later. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Great, another great man or two man just to finish
on and Ash Burton. Today is the whaler Go Cup.
That is the test match between the All Black Dog
Trial team and the Wallaby Dog Trill team. No love
lost here, although they are all good mates apparently.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah. Look I think that'll be you know, they'll yeah, exactly,
they'll they'll lay down their weapons afterwards. But I you
know what we grew up on that beautiful time of
the seventies and the eighties with the Dog Trials on
a Sunday afternoon. Bring it back. I mean you mentioned
in It just makes me go, you know, I'm trying
to think of the two the guy that won the
first Dog Show back in the seventies, was it?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Was it someone like Ginger Anderson was there?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You go, that's an encyclo.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Wow, that's come off the top of my head.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
The oracle, I come to the oracle, yeah Anderson?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, well, John, the late John Gordon was of course
the commentator, and it brought the Dog Trials into every
kiwiz living room.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It was great, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it was just a
brilliant time all there'll be a lot of fun. Where
is it.
