Speaker 1 (00:00):
We are awaiting a verdict in the mushroom trial over
in Australia. We'll get to that as quick as it
comes to you. Jason Pine with US two sports talk hosts.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hey JS, hello, Ryan Feelfred to cut me off if
the mushroom verdict arrives.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Nothing is more interesting than sport. You know. That's my
official position. However, the bosses may make me do that.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Now, first question for you what Raizer will obviously be
making swell. Will he be making some changes and if
he does weird as he needed to make changes.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, he will, I think because he said he wants
to give all thirty three guys in the squatter go
plus the ones he's brought in his injury cover. So
he's going to have to make some changes. Also, no
Seva Reese this coming weekend. He is under HIA protocols
and I get the feeling as well. Ryan Scott Barrett
won't be there. He came off on Saturday with a
dodgy r Chilles. At the media session today, Razor said, look,
(00:48):
we've had scans and we'll let you know tomorrow with
official announcement. I think you only officially announced something if
he's not going to be there, so new captain and
second rower, new winger, and I just think a bit
of a freshening here in the as well. It's a
bit of a balance, you know. He wants to find
out about some guys in different positions but also wants
to try and I guess they give everybody a go
and mix things up. But as far as what they
(01:10):
need to improve on, they weren't great at the breakdown
on Saturday. They weren't great with their kick chase game
or under the high ball that France put up. And
as you know in Wellington, Ryan, it can get a
bit swirly, a bit windy, a bit gusty at sky Stadium,
so he's a bit to work on as they look
ahead to Test too.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
What about the junior too Blacks finishing fourth at the
Under nineteen World Champs. How significant is that?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Really? Big? Yeah? It equals our best ever at a
feb tournament that's an international tournament. The toll Blacks themselves
in two the under seventeens last year, and many of
those players in this under nineteen side that finished fourth
this morning at the tournament in Switzerland. But of a
golden generation coming for young male basketballers. Ryan, These guys
are all either at college in the US or about
(01:55):
to head that way. So yeah, there's some names to
keep an eye on, but yeah, really significant achievement to
finish in the top four at a Basketball World Championship, brilliant.
