Speaker 1 (00:00):
Andrew Servill and Jason Pine were us fellas. Good morning,
Good morning. I Andrew enjoyed the Warriors still with the
Boss and he was there, he is in one of
his corporate boss box you know. And I he didn't
think it was that good a time. And I thoroughly
enjoyed the game. Had a bit of razzle dazzle about it.
And you know, there weren't a lot of the Warriors
(00:22):
we're talking about, and it had a bit of razzle
dazzle about it. The couple of good looking, exciting kind
of tries and we won. So I mean, all in all,
I'm happy. Am I easily pleased?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Or is he right?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And it was miserable?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
No? No, No, I think I think you're right. They
had a bit of drama involved at this time of year, Mike,
and give them the pressure the Warriors have been under.
Wins a win, right, and they were behind in the
scoreboard for a lot of the game, scored some good
tries type finish in the end, and then the atmosphere
at that venue looks superb for the Warriors games, and
(00:55):
the crowd chanting the winning tune afterwards, it's yeah, it's
all good. Starting to behold really so no, I think,
you know, and at this time of year, with a
few regular season games to go, that they become almost
knockout games for a lot of teams, including the Warriors.
You know, if they keep winning, they'll they'll finish in
the top four. And given the situation they're in with
all those injuries and one or two players possibly about
(01:18):
to be suspended, that's a good win.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I reckon. I also see Jason. I also enjoyed the
All Blacks. I mean, I know, all you guys go
around going, oh, and he didn't move that way and
he dies, just like we won. We won, well, we
were never going to lose. It's just like, you know,
just enjoy it. Why can we just enjoy it?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
You're right, there's some you know, there's a there's a
certain degree of over analysis, over analysis, certainly a lot
of over analysis on my show yesterday talking about the
first twenty minutes of the second half, and I think
that's where you land and we're looking for what improvements.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
But by that stage I thought the first half was great.
Thirty one ten up.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I thought, that's what we do with the All Blacks.
Is that we analyze it. You know, sometimes sometimes they're
on a hiding to nothing. Look, look the problem I
think they're facing at the moment. It's a bit like
whack a mole. They seem to be improving each from
game to game in certain areas, but then going backwards
and others. I thought it was a great start in
a great finish, but the middle patches when the bench
came on. Initially because in the end of bench won
(02:20):
them the game, really, but initially they lost a bit
of their shape. Look, they're trying to play at Pacemarke
and clearly they're still a little bit out of sync.
Let's not forget most of those players hadn't played forty
for four or five weeks. But in a test match
against a big bruising pack Lake France, Lake Argentina. Maybe
they just need to shelve a lot of that quick
(02:41):
hand stuff and play percentage for what do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Jason? What happened with body? At the end he just
lovely kicks and then towards the end he sort of
missed a couple and I'm thinking, is he going what
happens there? Is you thinking, Oh, we've got this in
the bag anyway, so I won't turn it and like
normally do or you know what I mean, it's like,
what's happening.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I doubt that's happened.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I think, you know, he probably addresses every kick as
though it's it's it's important that it goes over. I
thought he had a really good game. Bote embowered to see.
There's been some criticism about him as well, but I
think he's clearly at the number one with critics.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Five.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, it's it's like us analyzing the six fifteen to
six twenty bit of my show this morning, and I'm
you know, it's like.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
We want need to be analyzed.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It's over, you know, is that overall? Yes, you did.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It's six fifteen to six thirty a little bit of
a dead patch, whereas eighteen to eight twenty two goes
through the roofs.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Well, you know how it is. I mean not in
not not every sigment can be got. Did the Hosk
entertain you? Yes he did? I mean that's all that counts,
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
The biggest story is Alice Park, isn't it what happened?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Oh man?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Absolutely incredible?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
That was staggering.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Ye twenty two nill ahead.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
South African fans are thinking this is a sixty pointer.
Australian fans are going, man, what's going on? I'll probably
have to go to bed. Thirty eight unanswered points they
haven't won. Is that a RECORDFK was alive? Has anyone
checked that? Is thirty eight unanswered a record?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And that's that's got to be. I'd imagine the most
points South Africa is ever conceded at Alice part. Yeah,
I'm pretty close.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Now from my point of view, I didn't see it.
I only saw the highlights, right, But the highlights I
saw was the Australians running rampant. So it wasn't like
tough frontline stuff scraping.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Over the line times you're right there. At times it
looked like a big game of sevens. Yeah, the Australians
were holding the ball and waiting for it to see
what the defensive line was doing. Then bang they were
off a little bit like sevens. I think. Also, the
South Africans looked tired through major stretches of that game.
They looked old and they looked tired. Hopefully they look
(04:46):
old and looked tired when they come.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Here Australia have got so many wheels in the backs,
haven't they that? Max Jorgensen is so quick, Tom Writ's
a brilliant player, Dylan Peach, they're a good team, Joseph.
So you know, I just I'd need to see more.
It's one game and it may be that in Cape
Town next weekend at the Universe.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Writes it, Well they'll come back way mate, what performance? Yeah,
same question to both of you. Jason, you first, has
your out of Australia south Africa? Has your view of
Australia changed notably? And has your view of South Africa
changed notably?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Or not?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
No? No, not after one game, it hasn't.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I think all the points that we make about how
good Australia were and how tired South Africa looked stand
but only for that eighty minutes. You need a biggest
sample size for me. I feel as I need to
see what happens in Cape Town and I need to
see how Australia shape up when they come here to
take us on, and South Africa the same. So no,
I don't think it hasn't materially changed.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I think yeah, I think South Africa will bounce back.
Mike However, I think Australia's stocks have risen. Let's not
forget they played a massive series against the lines just
a few weeks ago, or finished it just a few
weeks ago. Then they bounce back after a bit of
a breather and win at Alice Park of all places
and stick thirty eight points in the spring box. Joe
schmidt influence, the key we coach on this team can't
(06:02):
be underestimate. Unfortunately, it looks like he's finishing with the Wallabies,
but won't come back here and do a job immediately.
Although in saying that, given the current executive events that
are is going out the back door or leaving over
the next several months and maybe Joe Schmitz, you do well,
(06:23):
he needs to do something here, doesn't he Well, you
can't lose that sort of that sort of talent and ip.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
No no, no, no, I know, but the big jobs.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Taken, that's right, Well he could he could be not
necessarily with the All Blacks. I'm talking about other teams
super rugby teams.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Is that a thrill once you once you've coached the
national side is coaching?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
You know, Canterbury coaching was coaching and that that could
be at any level.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Okay, Now my problem is I get that the size
that it's like snooker, the size of the sports problematic.
But as five and a half thousand people turning up
to the Daza success in a place that holds fifteen thousand, I.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Don't know whether they I don't know where they do.
They have fifteen thousand seats.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
This is Spark.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, Spark Arena can hold fifteen thousand. But I mean
what I'm saying is that they're spriaking five and a
half thousand is being a big deal.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I'm just thinking it's a different configuration for the darts.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
You know, well I know that, but I mean, if
you can sell ten thousand, you can figure it for
ten thousand. Would you wipe it's five and a half thousand?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Good atmosphere? Well, you've got to realize, Mica, is that
they take a lot of seats out to put bars in.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
What are you watching? I mean, I've never been to
the darts, But are you're watching a TV screen? Or
is that the problem with the crowd size. You've got
to be close enough to actually see the board itself.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Big screens on both sides, So yeah, I mean only
only the people quite near the front can actually see
the dart board itself a mess of screens.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
But you're there for the atmosphere, aren't you. You're there
to address well exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
But that's what That's what I'm saying. So why isn't
it fifteen thousand?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Why?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I mean, if all it is is about getting pessed,
why isn't it fifteen thousand?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Because not everybody's like you, let just go to somewhere
to get booze.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Who doesn't want to dress up and get boost You want.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
To do it at home on the You do it
at home on the couch rl weekend. Some people go out,
some people don't. I'm just trying to look. I think
Luke Little is a bigger traction and he won it,
so you can't say, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
One, I didn't realize there's the other Luke who's actually
the number one in the world. What's happening to Littler?
There's the other guy? Is he better than Littler? And
Little's just because he's a bit large and funny. He's
sort of the star of the show boy.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah that's right. Yeah, younger, how much younger will burst
out of the scene.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, incredible.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Hey, can I just mention Chris Wood like a couple
of goals this morning? Ninety one in the Premier League.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Now that is amazing.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah, he's gonna He's going to have one hundred goals.
Only thirty three guys have ever done that in Premier
League history. He keeps on keeping on, who always comes
back for New Zealand. So we'll see him next month
playing Australia.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Was it City or United or all of them? Or
Chelsea was Forest?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Wasn't it was Forest?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
It's been a bit but United have really spent a lot.
They've spent a lot and they lost one other Arsenal
at home this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So I'm not what team? What team does Greg support?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I knew you'd ask that, and I normally fade out
at that particular point in time. I want to say Arsenal. No,
it's definitely Arsenal, Arsenal. It's definitely Are they any good?
