Jason Pine: Weekend Sport host previews All Blacks vs Ireland in Dublin

The All Blacks are getting ready for their biggest test of their end-of-year tour against Ireland.

The All Blacks will be without Beauden Barrett and Codie Taylor in Dublin, in a rematch of last year’s quarterfinal.

Meanwhile, Formula 1 drivers have hit out at FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem over controversies about swearing in press conferences.

Ben Sulaymen has come under fire for calling drivers ‘rappers’ after Max Verstappen was fined for swearing in Singapore to describe his car.

Weekend Sport host Jason Pine joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jason Pine and sports talk hosters with US, actually weekend
sport hosters with US just right now are Piney? Hello,
Heather Now Piney? I mean this is Would you say
the Ireland game is going to be the hardest game
of the season for the All Blacks?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yep? I think so. And that's off the back of
two losses in South Africa as well. Ireland are a
good team. They hate us, they are beating us a
lot of history between these two in Dublin Friday Nights
with you six day turnaround rather than seven. We're missing
Bone and Barrett and Cody Taylor. They've beaten us before
the quarter final last year, five of the previous eight games. Yeah,

(00:35):
it'll be tough, very tough.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
You got any gossam what Ethan de Groot's been up to?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
No, I don't have any idea about that at all.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's the interesting one, isn't it. Okay, listen, talk to
me about it. Could you just want to tell me
which way you think it's going to go?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I think the All Blacks will win the game?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
You reckon?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Why? Yep?

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I No. I just have this funny feeling. It's based
on nothing other than a gut feel that they're going
to do it. I just and honestly I would love
it if we beat because you know, I remember back
to the quarter final last year. They were so certain
they were going to win that game. You know, zombie
was ringing out around whatever ground they were playing at,
and they were you know, they are about eighty percent
Irish fans in that ground, and from talking to people

(01:14):
who were there that night, they the sense of deflation
around this cocksure Irish fan base was just delightful to
watch and I just want to have more of that tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
This is a nasty side of you. We don't get
to see a lot and I like it. Hey, do
you think that If One drivers should be fine for swearing?

Speaker 2 (01:31):
This is crazy, right? This is the new Formully one
boss Mohammad been sillyam He says our drivers are not rappers,
therefore they shouldn't swear. Look, this is high, high elite sport, right,
Look goodness. I can't think of a sport where swearing
doesn't happen in the heat of the moment or when
you know, passions are running high and things like that.
I feel like the boss of Formula one needs to

(01:52):
worry about other things rather than when, rather than whether
you know one of his drivers curses occasionally.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Which are they getting fined?

Speaker 2 (01:59):
They're getting fined sort of, I mean compared to what
they earn. Not a lot, right, So Charles Leclerir, I
think he earned about thirty million dollars a year, got
fined fifty grand. So for you and me, it's like, well,
for you it's probably you.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Know, it's different. It's different.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
It's different for you and me. But but but they
also know where the money goes. There's no transparency about
where that fine money goes.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
So you know, for example, due by way of comparison,
if one of the let's say the All Blacks lose
and they come out and sit the press conference and
just have a little squear, what would we do?

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Nothing? Wouldn't we would do?

Speaker 1 (02:32):
We would do?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
What would you do?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well? No, I wouldn't do anything. I'm just wondering if
that ethan degrooted the player.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I No, I look, I think, well, I guess it
depends on the swear word. There are certain words you
wouldn't really want.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
You wouldn't go see bomb? Would you?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Absolutely not? No? And I don't I think even if
I think even if bomb and maybe even s bomb
unless it had a ball in front of it would
probably not be acceptable.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Well, that's the whole range of swear words. Piney, what
are this? Where would you planning to use? Well, that
rhymes with hat?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh yeah, that one. There's when there's the there's right
at the very bad end that I'm not even going
to allude to the sea word. You know what's worse
than the sea word, the N word. Anyway, these Formula
one drivers absolutely, it was absolutely that's a slur.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's not even a swear word. That's like a whole
other level.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah, I think the Formula One, I think the I
think the Formula one drivers were just sort of you know,
gosh darn you know, and they're getting fine.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Lord and we went off on a weird path and
I'm sorry about that. There's Jason Pine Weekend Sport host.
I mean, this is a bit silly, isn't it. Actually?
What would we do though, if the All Blex, like
imagine if the All Blex captain whoever the hell that is,
one of the Barretts came out and was like, do
you know what? That was a really f performance? Had
had a bit of a rant. Would we be upset
about that, would we expect some sort of punishment or

(03:52):
would we be like some emotion from a guy? Interesting times.
