You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine
from newstalk 'B.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Let's go across the Tasman, as he does every Saturday
afternoon around this time, we joined by our Australian correspondent
Adam Peacock. Adam, thanks very much for your time here
on news Talk ZIB this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Elliot, how are you mate?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Oh good? The Australian cricket team an absolute tomb well
at least it seems from this side of the Tasman
after that loss to India would have been the ramifications
the repercussions out of that.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, not good as you can imagine. We don't take
it too well of the over here like that happened
to Australian figure team. A bit of introspection, but I
think on the whole most people are okay about giving
the same eleven a go. But there's a little confidence
about that. You can probably tell him a voice about
(00:58):
giving you a go. But yeah, Martus Labashane is the
one that looks completely out of nick. So he's good
enough to find something. Whether or not he's enough to
find something in a week, it remains to be seen.
Because he looks unfortunately a shadow of his former self there.
I think his first seventeen Test innings got into a
thousand runs. He's taken thirty eight Test innings to get
(01:20):
to his last thousand runs that he scored in Test cricket.
So yeah, he's taking the foot off the gas. But
extel Steve Smith scratching around as he's still got a
he too old. They're the questions being asked over here.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I mean the quality players, they've got the ability to
bounce back and be very Australian for them to do so,
I'm depreciate and come out on Friday and the second
teast and do it. But are these players may be
verging on the fact that they've been around for too long,
maybe little too old, And are the younger players ready
to replace them?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Potentially because but unfortunately at the moment we don't really
have all these three are the next three they're definitely
in as soon as these guys have done it. It's
like a big question mark of about six or seven
a pool of six or seven players, are they good
enough to step up if one of them goes so?
In a bit of a state the fox at the moment,
the bowling unit will be okay. Look, they go to
(02:09):
Adelaide next, they play a day night test, so the
pink ball can offer some different kind of varieties. So unfortunately,
though I do believe that Jasper Wilmert is going to
play that Test match. Still, it's not like he's not
going to Adelaide so he can do anything with the ball.
At the moment. He is one of a kind, yea guy.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
You've got to find something on him to just get
him out of the country, you know, to port him.
I don't know what it is, but you've got to
find something to get him out of that lineup, offer.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Him like a lavish party back in India that he
can attend for the next I don't know month, but no,
he'll be there and he'll be an absolute threaten and
it's a problem, a big problem to solve for Australia.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Look, we feel deeply for you across the side of
the test man. As always when when the Australian cringing
team's not going well, we feel it on the side
of the test madam. So I hope you know that
we're with you.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I totally get it. Yeah, I totally realize that.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, absolutely, Look, the Australian and Ireland test matched around
out the Test rugby season. Wallaby's completing things early hours
tomorrow afternoon, sorry tomorrow morning, New Zealand time your time
as well, Joe Schmidt. But of a homecoming for.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Him, yeah, reading all the articles about him this week,
it's like he's a king over there, which is nice
to see. It's not like looked on as bitterness about
how it might have ended or how they parted. It's
more about what he did and yeah, that's you don't
always see that in sport. So he's obviously had a
huge effect on Irish rugby at every level to help
(03:37):
get them where they are, which is always now one
of the hardest, hardest places to go in rugby and
hardest opponents wherever they play. So maybe should have got
something more out of the.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
World Cup recently, but yeah, up against it here using
more players again, depth and issue on this tour of
Bang bang bang, these Test matches could quite get.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Past Scotland this week. Probably not expected to get past Island,
but it'd be a nice surprise if the Wallaby's abdle
to do make it three or four on this tour.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Have people sort of set up and taken notice and
obviously you lost last week in Edinburgh, but have people
gone okay, well the Wallabyes actually might be on upwards
trajictory here.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, the England game was that one that kind of
shocked everyone that we got not only so close but
actually beat them on the bell. So Wales wasn't as expected,
wasn't as a surprise, I should say, because yeah that
Wales will strike not gone through its finest moment. But yeah,
if you can get Ireland and get three of these four,
Tim Horn said a couple of weeks ago to me
(04:38):
in another interview. He goes, look, if we take a
step back and okay, if it doesn't go our way
against Scotland, we beat Ireland three or four. That's beyond
expectations before this tour and at a good building block
for the British and Irish Lions. Joe Shmidt I think
he debuts his nineteenth player of the year in this
Test match. So he's gone to the bottom of the
(05:00):
depth pool to try and find out who's good enough
for the years to come, which is good to see.
But he's done it in a different way to Eddie Jones.
He's not just kind of just done everything at once.
He's done it gradually, he's poked around, he's seen the
players that he's identified and given him a go. So yeah,
I think it's encouraging as much as anything.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
And Joey so he cleared to play this week, which
didn't look likely last week. After he wins off. He
seems like a player that you know, if you're a
neutral fan, you might get the old TV sits flicking
on to see how he's going. If you're utul or
as a casual rugby fan, he seems like the interest
levels have sort of peaked and gone, Actually, I want
to see how this kid's going over there.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, and very much so, because he's huge in rugby
league and big name in rugby league. So rugby league
fans by nature are wondering how he's going or some
which is better than none. And look that the guy
has been thrown straight in there. He was playing rugby
league a couple of months ago. So now that he's
going to come back, have a little rest, then do
a proper little preseason. He mon't need much topping up
(06:01):
before going again for the Super Rugby season. He gets
his block of understanding their game find a detail throughout that,
so yeah, really exciting to see what he can be.
By the middle of next year.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Adam Peacock with us. Just finally, Adam, I gets some
terms of that British and Irish Lions series next year.
The series seems to have been a bit of a
precursor to then, and I know the ticket sales the
British lays in Irish come down and they sell out
those places, but there are sins that that there is
something building towards that Lion series next year.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, it's viewed over here oddly enough because rugby is
Australia not exactly financially flying, but almost the savior of
the code. I know that sounds ridiculously dramatic, but it's
going to help no end both commercially and all those
things off the park reputationally. But also it'll be a
great series, will be a great three match series, and
(06:52):
there'll be a little tour around it as well, so
it'll help rugby in many ways, and it doesn't need
it because it's kind of been last ten years especially
kind of been gazumped by rugby league. There's this ridiculous
kind of like feeling and I think it's more from
regularly towards rugby union about we're better than you, E're
a crap sport. I mean they both have their place absolutely,
(07:14):
so yeah, this will show the best of rugby this
tour coming and it will be very very much needed
for rugby Australia.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Indeed, it will be Adam Peacock, thank you very much
of your time as always on a Saturday afternoon, look
forward to catching up again soon.
