Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jason Pine and Andrew Savill are both with us this morning. Fellows.
Good morning to you. Not that it's not a great
pleasure to have you on the program, Jason, but you
are very last minute due to the fact that Andrew
and you might know about this, so so guy have felt.
Now here's here's here's the whisper around the broadcasting community. One.
He's off to cover the Paris Olympics. Would he be
(00:20):
on his way there?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Now? Oh, yes, I think he is. Look, that's not
very that's not very What sort of communication is exactly?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
What sort of what sort of half? What leaves the
country without without telling anybody what's the matter with And
also somebody told me he's leaving your place and he's
going to work for the horses.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
He's going to work for T A. B. Why you know,
you know those little windows they have at Alisi or
race tracks, a little bookie, he's taking your cash at
the window.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
See. So he's going to stand on a little stall
and have his chin above the desk and go what
do people?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
A pencil tucked in one ear at Rothman's in his mouth.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Good luck to him. He likes his horses, so.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
He obviously thought he was. He obviously thought he was
going to be turning left when he got on the
plane and he would have had WI filling and all that.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
So he goes to TV and Z just correct me
if I see if I've got this right. So he
goes to TV and Z and says, directly after my
trip to Paris, guys, bye bye. Is that how that works?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I wasn't in on those meetings. Make no comment.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I think that's I think it's wonderful text. It's from guy,
if that's what's happened.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
So he's been he's been very he's had a lot
on his plate, and he's obviously taken off forgotten about you.
I wouldn't do that mode, No, I know that.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
No, No, that's why. That's why you're just for the record,
and it's why you're my favorite and you always were. Anyway,
stop it now, we've got so much to get to.
But Jason, I'm going to give you a prize of
five thousand dollars to the charity of your choice. Yes,
if you can guess before the Formula one in the
early hours of this morning, because that usurped it. Before that,
(02:06):
what was the most exciting sports event I watched this
weekend the Open Championship. No, sorry, Jason, no prize, no,
no charity. What was your what was the charity of
your choice? By the way, that's just missed out on
five thousand dollars would.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Have gone to Probably would have gone to cure kids,
I think. But yeah, it's a shame. It's a shame
they're not getting their money exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So it was the Taranaki Airs versus the Canterbury Rams,
say have you ready for this?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Carl Stadium, Ah, the mighty cal Stadium. And let me
tell you something about Carl Stadium is it hasn't changed
in forty five years since I last dribbled and shot
from the perimeter in such a successful fashion.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Since your last dribbled. All right, you know I grew
up about one hundred meets. Yeah, yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I was looking at looking at it yesterday. I thought,
that is exactly the same stadium as I played in,
same stand, same everything. I had a bit of roof work,
I think, post the quake, but apart from that it
remains untouched.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Was there a tribute to me there?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I couldn't see it, but the camera was on the
wrong angle.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
A shrine yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I think no, it's the statue out front, but they
had it was all shot inside, so I.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Think, yeah that I've seen it recently on TV as well. Yes,
it looks very familiar. I think they might have changed
the cord around the angle of it. But apart from.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
That, exactly not much. It was brilliant.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
What was exciting memories.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Double overtime, double overtime semi final game for the Finals.
The Rams got throw by one point. It was brilliant.
Your highlight, Jason, I.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Enjoyed the All Blacks. I must say, I know it was.
I know it was. It was almost a bit of
a fatal complay. I enjoyed watching Billy Procter in a
thirteen jersey for the All Blacks. I thought he had
added terrific game. Yes, it wasn't the rush defense that
England brought against the likes of Jordi Barret Derico Yuani,
but I think really prop to put his hand nice
and high a content at the thirteen jersey. I also
(04:05):
enjoyed the fact that the that the stadium there snapped
Dragon Stadium was chokers.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
It looked fantastic at.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
One occasion, it was not what tell have you still
got black and white. Are you not? Do you realize
that the seats that didn't have people in them were empty?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Well, they obviously haven't gone the well into the sky
stadium route and painted the yellow seats.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
There were heaps of spear seats.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I think it either at either end or especially at
one end, it looked half eat.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, no it was. Did you outside outside of that said,
I mean outside of a few newbies going hey, pick me,
what was the point of that?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah? Maybe long term a US strategy, or or getting
these sponsors out there and pressing the flesh in San Diego.
But look, as we know, over the last hundred years,
Rugby has tried time and time again to get a
foothold on the stakes and it won't happen. No, it's
not going to happen. I thought the new guys went well.
(05:04):
I think there's been a lot of calls over the
weekend for all these new guys or a number of
them to come into the number one fifteen if you like.
But I think you've got to pull the reins back
here a tad and realize that Fiji is not an
England team. Fiji gave the All Blacks plenty of room
to move, and they looked impressive. You're going to get
that against defense, a defense which isn't as clinical or
(05:25):
fast as the English. So I think you've got to
take it with a large grain of salt. These performances
or that performance against Fiji, I think we'll still pretty
much the selectors will stick with the tried and true
for their opening Argentina tests in a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You'd have to hope. So, Jason Ardi Sava, here's my problem.
You can do whatever you like and good luck to them.
But when you surround yourself with not being quite the
same side as your previous side, in other words, they're
not as good as they were, you run a risk,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, I think that has probably fact into us thinking.
But other things have overridden that, you know, the ability
to perhaps be a force for good at Maia Pacifica,
to play alongside his brother Julian and to lift that side. Look,
I mean the size is going to be immediately improved
by his presence. You know that we had ten thousand
to the gate and some young players, and that franchise
(06:12):
will get huge benefit out of it. Look, I think
we all know Artie Save has got enormously high standards.
He went to Japan and played with you know, a
group of flowers, with all due respect, who weren't the
same as the Hurricanes and the All Blacks, and it
didn't seem to drop his standards at all. So look,
once I got over the disappointment of him not playing
for my Hurricanes anymore, I actually don't mind.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The movie all all right, have you seen the Mike.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I think I think he'll attract I think he'll attract players.
From what I'm hearing, there's a few ex All Blacks
are looking at coming home and maybe joining up with
Mowana as well. And Artie is a massive draw card.
I think the way things ended with his brother of
the Hurricanes has probably still left a bit of a
sour taste with Artie. And also I don't think India
is completely happy about this shift, but good on them. Yeah,
(06:56):
I wants to play for a team that is full
of his heritage and once a different you know, a
new move, a new freeh start.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Have you seen the f one, by the way, I've.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Heard about it. So team orders, right, Claren?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Oh everything everything, go listen to the stap.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
What do you mean everything? It's been quite dull season.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
A pile of crap. I'm about to get rid of
Guy Hervelt. You can go too. Here's the thing. Listen
listen to Verstappen's radio. What a cry baby. Listen to that.
That's a story in itself. The Staphen hitting Hamilton, that's
a story in itself. Team Orders on pastre versus Norris,
that's a story in itself. There are more winners this
(07:36):
season than there have been in the last decade.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
So I'll give you that. What's thirteen different winners?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It is so exciting. It is one of the great races,
certainly of the the greatest race of the year. It's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
It's great to see McLaren back.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, they're back one too. You can't argue with it.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, So what would have you if you were told
to slow down for your teammate let them pass it?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
If I metal if I were a Sebastian Vettel when
the same thing happened. He didn't. He refused to, and
he said I'm here to win and I'm going to win.
You listen to the radio on that, because they said,
at your at your leisure, please Lando, just let Oscar through,
and he ignored it, ignored it, ignored it, and they said,
anytime you ready, Lando, please let Oscar through. Ignored it.
Ignor Lando, you'll eventually need your team, and you'll need
(08:21):
your teammates and you will need all of us. Please
let him through. And then by the time they're running
out of lapse, they went do it now, and so
he was ropeable and he technically technically it was fair.
In terms of racing, it was unfair and Norris should
have won it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
On the flip side, didn't They use a bit of
pit strategy for Norris compared to.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
That was the That was the argument, because they gave
him a break and usurped the Piastre on pits. He
got the break he needed to get to the front.
They were saying, we need to rectify that now. Piastre
paid the price, then you can pay the price now.
And I think that's that it's their argument.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
And let's not forget PS three as Australian's not bad
for this part of the world with didn't Perez crash
and practice of qualifying as sonoda, this is the.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Real story for us. Everyone there, Everyone there is not
talking about Liam Lawson going into RB. They're talking about
Liam Lawson replacing Perez. He's going into the number one
seat in F one. How good. I mean, that's just
not a seat. That's that's your coming. Second to Max.
Wee can week out if you do your job properly.
Aren't you all right?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Just on the can we just touch on the worries.
I'm sure you're watching it.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Harris Devita Webster's so what.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Did you do on that flesh couch you was when
he missed that goal?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
It's well, I mean cried obviously inexcusable. Yes, yes, I
couldn't agree more. But league has always been weak on
kickers until matthew Ridge came along all those years ago
and professionalized the position. And we've got and we've got
a good kicker and Pompey. But obviously no one else
thought Pompy was ever going to be off the field again.
(09:59):
And so when Harris, I can kick better than Harris Devita,
and I'm serious, I can do better than he can.
And that's not saying anything. It's unforgivable.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I looked away because I thought this was a give
and it's going to god point.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, no excuse, And.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Now now I need to get on the blot of
someone like Dan Carter. Bring up Daniel Carter, you know,
come on down some techniques to work with did some
work with Sean Johnson earlier in the season. Needs to
go back.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, I couldn't agree more. What do you what do
you say, Jason? What else haven't we covered there the
goal yet?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I just, I just I just want to mention hamous
Kur another one that's in a diamond mate, but he
has to be a metal prospect in power of famous
curl looking forward to seeing him.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Who would have seen that happen? A New Zealand high jumper?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Incredible?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, and he seems like.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
He seems like a nice wouldn't shock you and wouldn't
shock you and field of in say, discus would have
high jumpers and field event, but discus shot put? What
have you but high jump?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
It's brilliant, outstanding.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, exactly. Takes you back to your days. If your
Frosby flop se Cal Stadium, you flop at Carl Stadium
as well?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Did you? I once I once got on a brawl
on the court there, but let's leave that for another day.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Okay, cool Jason, I appreciate you stepping in the the
fee will be the usual it is on.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Is that the second strike for guys? Three strikes gone?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I know, I think it's two strikes gone. Here to
mark around, Andrew, this is this is the show you
don't want.
