Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast
from News Talks.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
A'd be it's time to catch up with our sporto
Andrew Saville and sav what a weekend of sport we have.
You got your Euros, You've got the black Cats versus Uganda,
which I know is going to have the nation come
to a standstill after mid day today and of course
the Super Rugby semi finals.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Let's start with Super Rugby.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
The Blues from the word go last night never never
really looked like losing to the Brumbies.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It was. It was an extraordinary start to the game.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
The Brumbies, you know, worked their way back into it
a little bit, but it always felt like it was
the Blues to lose.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
In the end. Yeah, I think the game was pretty
much gone after twenty thirty minutes. Jack. They let's not
forget some of the Brumbies and the regular season on
Eden Park as well, and pretty much similar story last night.
A shame that the crowd wasn't bigger. But it's a
Friday night, or it was a wet Friday in Auckland
and a dance Friday night in Auckland. Difficult to get
(01:04):
to straight up to work for a lot of people,
So that was the crowd was disappointing, I thought, But
the rugby was pretty good from the Blues were very
good early on and pretty good overall. So they will
now await the winner of today's or this afternoon. You
can see me between the Canes and the Chiefs. Really
interesting match this. The Hurricanes beat the Chiefs twice during
(01:27):
the regular season. They're at home, they'll have a huge
amount of crowd support the Hurricanes. But the Chiefs, they've
sort of been forgotten about by a lot of people
flying under the radar. But the way they played against
Queensland last week and are pretty much at full strength.
I've had to wrest all black guys the last few
(01:48):
weeks on and off. They had a few injuries like
every other team. But the Chiefs are pretty much a
full strength, so I'd give them a chance. I'd give
them a real chance of giving the Hurricanes a real crack.
What about them this afternoon?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
What about the Warriors tonight? Do you give them a
chance against the storm?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Interesting is that I don't think. I don't think the
drawer or the timing's route last Saturday were they but
to put the rugby union, the big big semi final
at four thirty in the Warriors is the feature game
at seven thirty. I didn't think I'd ever see the day,
but it's good on them for thinking of the sports
fans in general who want to take them. The Warriors
haven't beaten the Storm. I think it's for nine years,
which is quite remarkable. Gee, if they're going to beat
(02:27):
them now, it's as good a chance as any sewn
Johnson coming back into the team might might throw their
plan off a little bit given the way they've been playing,
but Johnson obviously a very good player, so I'd give
them a big, big chance. At home, that game has
been sold out for weeks. In fact, I think the Warriors,
if they haven't already, are about to sell out every
(02:50):
home game.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
So impressive, which is amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is just astanding game.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Are you into the Euros?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Do you get into the game? I have World Cups
and I love European Champion Ships Premier League yet yeah,
I've taken interest in that and also Champions League. But
there's something special about especially the international games on at
breakfast time, out of time, getting up a little bit earlier,
taking it in huge atmosphuerees obviously in every one of
(03:23):
these euro Games because the fans can use your access
to these games and say a World Cup. But the
Germans took on Scotland this morning and looked very German like, didn't.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
They It was just it was it was clinical five.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Every every time they had a chance, the pretty much
struck as a five to one.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I'm going to read you the text conversation with my
brother in law. Okay, so he said, you're excited? Are
you fizzing for this weekend? I said yeah, like about
the Euros, I said yes, although very gutted about who
I ended up with in the in the work sweepstake.
Who did you get Georgia? That's my team, so not not.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Having at Georgia.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, and he and then he said, I'm pretty sure
Germany is honestly work this year. They only qualified by default.
And then I texted him at eight fifty eight this
morning after the Germans walked off that pitch five to
one victors, and I said, dot dot dot and he said, yeah,
it's probably a good thing. I'm not a beating man.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Although Scotland were fairly limited and they had a guy
sent off as well. A nasty challenge in the box,
wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I think France will be their typical attacking selves. I
think there's a step I heard yesterday the Germans haven't
made the quarter final stages of their last four major tournaments,
which is very surprising. Yeah, the Germany, but at home,
you know, obviously huge support of the Canes today and
Wellington and no, I'm looking forward to the rest of
the Gilman I think as England Serbia Monday morning.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, seven am Monday Morning TV. Hey are
you Are you a bean bag man?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I used to be, probably as a kid when they
were you know, and fashion.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Well, I think they're back in fashion.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Now some of us, some of us is of a
certain vintage and bone structure, difficulty, have difficulty getting out
of them.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I was going to say, the getting in is fine, right,
it's the getting getting out.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Nowadays when I get out of it, When I get
out of a bean bag, it's slight watching a paratrooper
and on the ground.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Very good. Hey, thanks for your time this morning, asked
photo Andrew savil Jack. I volunteered to fill fourteen bean
bags for the common room at my kids boarding school.
I mean, that's a terrible, terrible thing to do. Fourteen, okay,
about eight of them when you all the others needed
major top ups. I hate to break it to you,
(05:53):
but yes, the beans still compress inside bean bags.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
This was a whole weekend's.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Job, an absolute nightmare, despite using my bathtub. The worst
part was when putting them all back into the school.
A small eight year old came up to us and said,
I know, I have no idea why you've bothered doing that.
We're just going to try and pop the bean bags
as soon as you leave.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Oh great.
