Speaker 1 (00:00):
We've got some dates for the America's Cup.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's all getting underway next year. We knew that already, right,
So it's coming up kind of July, to be done
with by mid July over an ounce depending on how
long the challenge goes for May they get things underway
as far as the knockout the Louisviuan, depending on you know,
who's going to come up and actually challenge for this
America's Cup. It's quite a long way. It's quite a

(00:25):
long way away. It's like a year and a half.
But it's out. They've got a report on that, right,
did you get.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
We have a new name. We've got a new name
for GB one for the British and it is.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's just called GB one juggling hard thing. This is great.
I love the technology of the America's Cup. It's going
to come. We know it's going to start. But our
packaged that are way and worried about that next year?
Is that like to do that?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
It's fun. Naples is beautiful. It's going to be a
beautiful place.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Say I've ever been to nap I traveled enough. I've
been to Rome and Sardana.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Black Caps won't like going back to India after this nonsense.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
It's one game. It's one game.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
We had a text in the earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
They got hammered, but it was one game.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
And do you we are they taking it on the chin?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well you have to. It's groundwork, that's what it is.
No one is going to care what happened in this
series once the T twenty World Cup starts. Should New
Zealand win the T twenty World Cup, no one's going
to look back at those five games. All they are
is laying groundwork, getting players into rhythm, finding out what works,
what doesn't work. There's still a couple of players to

(01:34):
come back, in the likes of Seifer and Finn Allen.
So to me, it's an exercise in information gathering and
we shouldn't get so head up about results that forget
beaten five nil. Maybe people will start scratching their heads,
but still it doesn't matter. People won't remember this after
the World Cup.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Hey dares the abs, You're tonight going to be talking
about the whole well, the whole coaching saga.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Well no, I'm not going to talk about the coaching saga.
We talked about the coaching saga.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
You're last night I understood that you were going to
talk about the coaching saga to Rob Nickel.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Ah, right, well kind of know what. Okay, No, that's
fair enough. But that's fair enough. Maybe I've you know,
pushed someone in the wrong direction around that. Rob Nickel
was the head of the Rugby Players Association, so I'd
like to talk to him about the effect that's having
on the players, what the players had to do with it,
how the process unfolded, and what happens now for the players.
So you're attached to the coach, it's about that, but

(02:27):
it's about the player attitude and I suppose player care too.
This is a personal situation. A lot of these guys
knew Razor got on on them really really well. Other
obviously didn't so much. So how did they weld together
that schism within the team?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Do you reckon they're a bit divided the Canterbury ones
that's loyalty.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Well, we don't know. We're not in there. We don't
know unless it's a fly on the wall out there somewhere.
But it suggest this is a difficult thing for players
to deal with. Their coach after two years has been
shown the door ceremoniously. Now they sit there is. The
guilt is their joy. I don't know. So that's why
we get ahead of the Rugby Players Association and go

(03:09):
now from you, Rob, do you want to tell us
something tonight?
