Speaker 1 (00:01):
Geez. Either it's called time and distance. Maybe it wasn't
on purpose, but if you think they couldn't time it
to drown out the hockey, you're as high as that
planeless Thank you, amos, appreciate it. Jason Pines sports stalk
coasters right here, right now to adjudicate on this. Piney, Hello, Heather,
I don't reckon it was deliberate, do you?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
I honestly don't care. You know, do what you like?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
How can you not care? It was one of the
most hilarious things that I've ever seen in a rugby game.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Why jet, a jet flying over the hockey? You're talking
about it.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
And the pirate technics and then the stadium music that
and and the looks on the faces of the All
Blacks they were so gutted.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Do what you like? Honestly, it's called home. It's called
home advantage for a reason. Do what you're looking it.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Great, though, Piney, come on just for one second and
you go, that's actually quite funny.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I think I was making my coffee when the hucker
was on.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
That's the most disrespectful thing I've ever heard. Why aren't
you sitting there and watching the whole thing from start
to finish.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I'm there from I'm there from I'm there from the
first whistle to the final whistle. I'm there for I'm
there for the eighty minutes. That's what I'm there. That's
that's the as. So I lend my analysis to what
happens in the game.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I cannot get upset about this loss because I really
feel like it was such a good performance from us.
We were the underdogs and we tried really hard and
we almost got there.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I mean, Heather, come on, we're the All Blacks.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, playing at Alice Park with the plane as this.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Where we are now that we're okay with a good
sixty five minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Dude, the coach just started. Give the guy a break.
He's got to be able to at least like this
and this. The squad sucks, you know, he's got to
try to pull them together.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I don't think the squad sucks. I think that I
think the starters were good yesterday. I thought our starting
fifteen was excellent. I thought they were for sixty five minutes,
we were very good.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
To remind you what happened with Argentina. The squad is inconsistent.
I'll give you I'll put it like that.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Do you know what I reckon we need to do.
I reckon we need to be less conservative with our
bench selections, and yeah, and just and reimagine what numbers
sixteen to twenty three are actually there for. I think
that was a huge part of yesterday was South Africa's
I think the bomb squad coming on. They made a
huge impact, way more impact than our guys did. So
I think we need We always seem to pick reserves

(02:09):
and I what if that guy gets injured, who's going
to come in and play for him in his place?
I know that's necessary, but why don't we instead pick
players who will make the biggest difference when they come on.
And I look at a guy like Boat and Barrett
right his best test of the year coming off the
bench had Eden park against England, basically changed the game
and won it for us. So do we need to say, okay, body,
I know you want to start, and there's still this

(02:31):
status around starting, but your best use in our team
at the moment is coming off the bench as being
an impact player.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Are you arguing you actually save some of your best players.
You don't start the best players, you actually save them
for impact?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Well, that's what South Africa did with Malcolm Marx. He
is the best hooker in South Africa, probably one of
still one of the best in the world. He's wearing sixteen,
not two. So why don't you I got it to
poor Vartey for example. Good you know, no Patrick tuop
a lot at the moment. So Vitey starts with Scott Barrett.
Why wouldn't Dowry start bring off the bench in the
last twenty five minutes to provide impact. We need to

(03:05):
reimagine how we do these things. I reckon the most
important jersey in the team now is twenty three, number
twenty three, and I reckon Bode and Barrett should wear it.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay, that's really interesting. I actually respect that. I think
you're onto something there. What about the try from the
South Africans that was apparently a knock on. I'm struggling
to get excited about this.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Are you insensed by it?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Not insensed? I had a lot of chat about it
on Weekend Sport yesterday. Obviously, look, it's not a try.
But the main thing is they didn't even have a
look at it. The TMO when they look at me, yeah,
they look in forensic detail at head high shots and
they try to find something wrong with a lot of tackles,
and yet they couldn't even take time off at the
very least. Heather, there's doubt, right, So TMO, so hey,

(03:46):
there's doubt about this, Just call time off. Just let's
hold our horses, let's sit back, have a look at it.
A few angleson point.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
But then party, they didn't even look at the sea
Kalisi knock that Sam Kane gave them. So maybe they
just sucked at their jobs.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Was there a TMO there? Then? Was he off? Was
he not there? Was he driving? Was he the plane?

Speaker 1 (04:02):
That's what he was doing? Piney, We've got to the
bottom of it. He thank you very much. At least
he was good at his timing on that one. Jason
Pine and sports talk host till abaxt seven o'clock this evening.
