Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine
from News Talks EDB.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
We've got them on loan for the best part of it. Tom,
I'd say teen minutes rolling out from the ACC and
the crowd goes wild, ladies and gentlemen. I bring to
you mister JS Makona can Matt Oh.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Thanks, Darcy Woden intro SEEZ that was wonderful. I make
sure on my way to eat and Park shout out
to Eden Park because hosting a few of my workmates
from Sky who don't normally get to go to Rugby,
some of the customer service people, but we're going up
into the lounge whether they've got this quiz to believe
it or not. Quiz and it's my goal to win
that TV. I'm not saying I'm competitive, but you know
(00:49):
what I'm like, Darcy, it's going to be if my
teammates don't deliver and pick up on some of those
you know, those other categories that I'm a little bit
weak on. It's just say science. Let's just get it
out there.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
My advice to you is keep away from the bar
before you start your quiz.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yes, well, but you and I hosted quizzes and they
get out of control. I don't know why. Some quizzes
have ten categories yea by category sixes people dancing on
the tables, right, So this is the.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Only good thing about my job at night. I can't
get the quizzes anymore because I don't finish the later clock,
so I don't have a chance to embarrass myself on
those quiz No one cares about that, dare I say
except us? People do care about the Mighty Warriors now
they're averaging over forty points games so far and if
(01:36):
not been playing celads, have they James No?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
And just the depth, I mean we've got Tanner Boyd
in there while Luke metcalf is slowly getting back to
the full fitness. That this is the whole thing that
the Wars with their depth are a scary team. And
dare I say it? Lequa Halasima, who is this burgeoning
superstar just doing lequ of things and he is the
hardest man to handle in the NRL currently and with
(02:01):
him on our side and a few other I mean
that left edge which just seems so clinical, with Janelle
Harris Savida, Roger tu Vasus Sheek, the way they all combine.
It's just a thing of beauty right now that the
Warriors and Mitch One, I know he's leaving Auckland. I
mean a lot of us want to leave Auckland. I'm
good on you, Mitch. But look at the moment, every
(02:23):
poster is a winner for them, So things are looking up.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Well, it's still got a chance to fall away though
we know it. That's the nature of dealing with the Warriors.
And when I was talking last week, I was interested
that Miss Clark said, we're really good now at leaving
that behind. We just go that was great, let's get away.
And this is something that's been repeated by coach Webster
(02:48):
as well. It's what Aaron Clark said to me. Celebrate
for ten minutes. Then we've got work to do.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yeah, I think we could handle a few injuries. You know,
there are some things that can't cope with that. It's
just and we'll get to that soon. Not one team
in particular, like the Crusaders was. You know, if Will
Jordan's not in there, it's a different side. But I
think the Warriors can weather that. The one thing that
caught my own league though, of course, which a lot
of us would have watched. Was Alex Johnston taking the
all time NRL try record off Ken Irvine. He scored
(03:16):
his two hundred and thirteenth try and it was amazing,
absolute scenes. About five hundred, maybe to one thousand people,
including the Prime Minister, stormed the pitch over in Sydney
and one poor guy got arrested by security. You can
see him just getting tackled and held down while everyone
else streamed on the field. And it was an incredible
(03:38):
moment in sport.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, and Nick do I say I was that guy
and he'll keep the video I'm sure way into the future. Look,
look what happened to me. I was the only Goose
I had to target someone.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Right, Yeah, I know how that's when you know you
lack his band, But I mean I actually applauded. I
think it was just a great thing to see and
even funnier to see a Rooster's fan the first one
to get on and congratulate him and a vintage Rooster's jersey.
And I actually quite like that the roosters got up
on one net because I think that celebrations sort of
(04:08):
stung the roosters into action. So you know, I'm always
happy to see someone like Nafa, who white out of
Kelston west Auckland doing well for them. So you know,
even though I'm I'm wise all day since day one,
I still love seeing Kiwi's doing well on that stage.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Ah Kelston, my neighbors and grim Eaden always got time
for some Kelston crew. Six Nations? What is the six Nations?
I thought it was supposed to be a hard grind,
physical men, tight point scoring in this bonkers six Nations
so far, Congratulations to France. We've seen some ridiculous blowouts
(04:43):
and almost defense free rugby.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
No I know they're playing the beautiful game while we're
struggling around with our sort of box kick scenario here
in New Zealand. So I take my hat off to
all those nations, including Etily, who you know, up to
beat Scotland, beat England. They were just basically, you know,
the big giant killers of But the story is really
how France held on because England should have toppled them
(05:08):
at Park started to France this morning and somehow, somehow
they got a penalty of pretty much a fifteen meter
kick for Thomas Ramos who slotted the goal. But what
a disaster. Though the France wearing these vintage baby blue
jerseys that clashed with England's white jerseys. So I mean,
I was just thinking, are they going to get undone
by a wardrobe malfunction? Not a Janet Jackson one, but
(05:30):
just of their own making where they almost needed to
go to the merch store it started to France and
buy the classic dark blue because it was just a
it was a joke out there for a while.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
This has been constant as long as I've been stinking
out the airwaves and sport radio in beforehand were the
issue with clashes with uniforms? Is it that hard to sort.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Out on the biggest game of the season as well?
But look, France, I hope they've seen a decent team
down down here this year. They have got again speaking
of depth, that they had a player out there on debut,
which is so French. Isn't it the biggest game of
the season, biggest game of the year? Out you go?
But they held on and I'm glad that when they're
(06:17):
going through tough times because to be honest, they had
their moment against New Zealand and really they celebrated so
hard like they'd won everything. And this is what they get,
they come up.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Indeed, not unusual for them. It is thirteen minutes away
from two. James mcconi yet joined us. As we look
at a weekend of sports Super Deeper Rugby, you said
you're going off to Eden Park other so afternoon towards
morna pacifica I take on the Blues. What else have
you taken out of this weekend's exchanges.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Well, I look at the Hurricanes and I think if
they can put together a great eighty minutes, it's going
to be hard for teams to live with them. But
that's the asterisk. By that side, they seem to have
this beautiful, flowing rugby. If you think about that's something
that is amazing in March. Can it win them a
title in June? I guess is the question. I think
(07:07):
the Hurricanes are starting to flex a little. But the
Crusaders this is where I look at that game. You're
a Crusaders fantasy. With Will Jordan back just running that team.
I haven't seen a player that influential, just one player.
I remember Aaron Smith and Ben Smith being so crucial
to that championship winning Highlands team back in twenty fifteen.
(07:28):
But I look at the way will Jordan influences that
Crusaders team. It's massive right now. Can they do it again? Well?
I think they probably can because they have getting you know,
some big forwards back. I think Scott Barrett will be
back for the business end. But for you guys in
Crusader Country, it's not It's not all roses, is it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
But we've got Johnny Lee. We've one earthed another one.
The guy's a freak, as I described before to Dan Perrin,
is in a hessi and bag full of elbows and
knees and skulls. He's huge and fast and really difficult.
And this is the new man coming through the seven duty. Amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah, I thought Johnny Lee has deserved a shot for
a while. I've looked at him playing for Tasman and
hope that maybe when the Crusaders went and got Oli
Mathis from White Cuttle and took him down to Crusader Country,
I thought, well, what's that saying to a play like
Johnny Lee? You know, come up, come up to Chiefs Country, mate,
We'll look after you. If they're going to sign and
(08:27):
seeven over the top of you. Don't don't you worry.
We've got We've got a playing jersey here for you.
But hey, look it's I hope they treat him well.
I hope they appreciate him because he looks the goods
and dare I say it, he's a total hybrid between
Ethan Blackadder, Richie mccare and a few other great crusaders.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
In the past, and he's like any good man of
his age. He's got a sick lid and that's for
those out there slightly longer in the teeth, and he's
got a wicked haircut. He's got a sick lid, right,
tell me I'm wrong, James.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Oh no, he looks in those ears as well, proper
rugby years. It's about time we saw some of those
look today. One of this is Blues is going to
fascinating game because you know Tana is pretty much sounds
like he's going to go and join Dave Rennie and
then you know m Onea been have been making waves
in this city. So it is really a derby match
(09:19):
and that there's even more and more feeling every time
these teams play. So I'm looking forward to that three
thirty kickoff should be magnificent.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And just before we end on Super Rugby that text saying,
Darcy here was the ref last night. He let the
game flow led to a great spectacle for which the
Heightlanders also deserved credit. And then someone else has written
they basically stooped to violence the Crusaders and the rawd
team one and just for your information, Jordan Way was
(09:47):
the whistleblower there. And before we wander on off, mister
Macony end zed twenty, Caine Williamson just told us on
the show that's his preference. So like that's it all
bets her off. It's happening, right.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
If Kane says the Enzy twenty should happen, then I
think it should. I think that hopefully there's a space
for the Innsied twenty and in the calendar. That doesn't
affect what the black Caps are doing because you know,
and there are players who want to play in the
Big Bash as well, and we'll earn huge money and
you can't deny them that. So look, if they can
bring people home, that's great. But I also think saying
(10:20):
the opportunity of having a franchise, a New Zealand franchise
and the Big Bash will be crazy to pass up.
So somehow I think they've got to try and do both,
a bit like the old al Paso ad where a
girl wants the sides between crunchy or soft tacos? Why
can't we have both?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Indeed, and it's all to me due diligence. They as
long as the research has been done, they understand what
the possibility of disastrous success could be and then move
into an Apparently that decision is coming out this week
in Brendan, tex Isn't it great? The black Caps out
of a series is being played by B teams and
that's the problem the game faces right now still needs
(10:59):
to be addressed in on that, mister James mconey, well,
bet you fairwell, We thank you very much for your
time and look forward to we meet again, my friend.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Awesome cheers, Darcy, have a great one, thanks mate, I will.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I always intend to have a great one. Where now
rapidly approaching the latest and news sport and water. It's close,
but not right here right now.
