Speaker 1 (00:00):
Right now we have Darcy Waldgrave Sports Stalok Coast. Does hey, Heather,
what's going on with the Hurricanes.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well Moore is not traveling and he might not be
there either when it comes to the point at enith
the Hurricanes get further. He was named on the side,
but he got a knee injury and he was I'm
well advised by media in Wellington. He was basically in
the golf cart getting cartled off and all the media
I turned up to what so it's hard to keep

(00:26):
a secret.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
But he was named. Whether they're just playing.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Scold agree with the opposition the brummis I've got no idea,
but he's not going to be there, which is it's
a messive blow for the Hurricanes, a blow for him
till it's not too bad. We don't know what it is.
Could be an acl might not it might get to
have a cork. I mean, we don't know, but he's
not going.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
To be there. So that's a blow for a very
mobile and aggressive hot and Will Jordan, well Crusader's fan.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Will Jordan is back, David Havilly is back, Fletcher Nele
is back. Todd Blackett has been back for a week
or two. This is shaping has been quite the team.
And to have all those key guys back just before
the qualifying finals timing because people thought that's going to
be out for a few weeks. But and I talked
to Rob Penny, so robbed, are they okay to go?

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Though? You're not just picking them? And no, no, no,
they're fine mate, They're ready to Rob, They're ready to go.
So this is big.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I think that Fletcher Neil is a prop that can
play eighty minutes, which is ridiculous. He's got the biggest
engine in the game. He's massive on the front and
of course Will Jordan at the back, well, what can't
he do? And then of course he's got heavily captaining
in the middle controlling it.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
So yeah, it's looking really good. It's gonna be a
great weekend of Super Rugby.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
And no vaccinto the semi finals.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Is he he's looking for number twenty five.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Five? Yeah, he's got to take on the world number
one you Onick Centner, which I'm sure won't go down
very well because Young's had a bit of a a
delegance with the drug enforcement situation, and of course you
know it like around that.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
In fact, you wouldn't even take a jab.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
So, but I keep saying this, and it's because it's true.
I heard his press.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Conference and there's something alarming in his voice, is something
some calm, some almost like an assassin like calm before
he goes in, and it's like, you know, I'm getting old,
the world number one, and I'm done. He might not
get it done, but his attitude is looking good. And
I'm not the biggest fan of him, but when it
comes to playing tennis, the guy is a freaking who

(02:30):
wouldn't want to be around to see a guy win
twenty five grand sing?

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Now that's cools.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Can I ask your opinion on something? Are you careful?
Do you have any Do you have an opinion on
the post game huddle in netball?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well, to be perfectly honest, once the game's finished, I
turn it off.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
You don't watch for that, right, right?

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Ray? No, I watch so much sport. I don't want
to watch the build up. I'm not interested in watching
the halftime show.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
I don't. I watch sport late.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I start ten minutes late so I can fast forward
through the halftime show.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
This is excellent.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I just want to see the athletes performed that is it.
Nothing else aboard I'll make my own opinions up. Remember
you're looking very flash.
