Speaker 1 (00:00):
Darcy Waldgrave sports store coasters with me, Hello, dars Hi.
Harry Plumber going to ditch the All Blacks?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Well, I wouldn't say ditch the All Blacks. He's going
to go to France where he's going to make a
decent amount of money before he has to retire and
live in a lovely part of the world.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
How is how he's going?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
According to producer Ants, medicament is where the micheline man.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Comes from, the actual micheline man.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You know of the tires, Yeah, not not the the
three stars with the rolls, the big guy and they
invented that before tires became black because they were white
before that. But they had to strengthen tires somehow, so
they added to compound to make them more durable, and
then tire has been from white to black.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Has he been playing on the internet again? Google?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's about tires. I haven't gone anywhere near Google every
now and then. You know, I've got I've got something
in my head that I can black.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Out that's interesting and weird facts. But why would Harry
Plumber be doing this because isn't he just being lined
up not be in the All Blacks?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Well, you've got to determine your why why do you
play rugby? What are you in it for? Yeah, some
people want a black jersey. Some people want to be
an all black, They want to create history, they want
to go blah blah blah blah blah. Other people probably
start wanting to do that and just what make And
then they go, you know what, this is a job,
and I know that sounds very romantic. He may have
even started negotiating this before he got given his cap.
(01:24):
You don't know. He had a good time with the Blues,
you know, verse five eight, second five eighth, and they
might come to and say, well, you know what, do
you want to come play for us? Because you probably
aren't likely to be an all black? And then he
got selected. But then he's turned around in the fullness
of time, he's going to go, well, I've got three
four people in front of me. Am I actually going
to be able to play? Or am I going to
(01:45):
be constantly training and carrying luggage? And how much?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Why wouldn't how old?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Say wouldn't you twenty six?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You made it sound like he was so old that
it was nearly the end of his career.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
No, it's not nearly the end of his career. But
you know what rugby's like, doesn't You don't last long?
One decent pam and it's all over. So I commend them.
Good on them, And for people complaining about that we're
going to lose all of our young players, were going
to lose all blaa. We create so many brilliant players
we can't employ them all. This is possible.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
We have got money. I'm here. It doesn't look like
we're making that many brilliant players, does it? Because the
World Rugby Awards are out? And have we got any
of our fifteen's players and the men's all the women's
squads through to like Player of the Year. No, when
was the last time that happened?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Does it matter?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's not good though, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I don't want to appear jawnedice by this. But anyone
who knows me and my words for the last however long,
knows that awards ceremonies are stupid?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Are they?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Okay? They mean, says someone who lost him any awards.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Nothing. I've won a few, I've lost a few, but
there's one of is. It's just you get to get there,
You clip on a suit, you drink with some of
your colleagues. It's a great social occasion.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
But what I'm on but they don't fair enough.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Play on boots. So you can become a World Rugby
Player of the Year you put on boots to win.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
But if you actually looked at our squad, there aren't
any of them that you think, geez, that is the
standout player in the world in that position.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Who makes the decision or just abundantly.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Clear to us who is awesome and who's not.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Marcus Marcus Smith, He's wicked.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So we've got we've got some sevens players in and
we've got some emerging talent coming through, which is good.
What is one of the emerging talents coming through? And
he's got a couple of guys up against them.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
South Africa's got three in the men's fifteen. Player of
the Year.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Is one of my favorites, and they are world champions.
They're almost impossible to beat. You kind of get that.
So it's a reflection to a degree of what you
achieve at that level. But I think people don't play
rugby getting the World.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Monico and being simplistic about this, it is a reflection.
It's a reflection of how well, your players are playing right,
because they will get recognized that these awards, if they're awesome.
Isn't James Low from Ireland to Kiwi? But yes, okay
you got one in there. I wouldn't try the year.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh right, Okay, there you go. Well he's not really
He's Irish, now, isn't he? I just I think that
we interested in Super Championships, any PC titles and World Cups,
holding the Buddhaslow Cup, beating the South Africans. There are
so many more things that important. Say tell me who
the Player of the Year was two years ago? No,
I don't know either. It doesn't matter. You could suit
(04:39):
only to.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You run this out at seven o'clock starts talking. Just
get your ass handed to you by the callers. No
I won't because I'm right anyway, give them a hard time.
If you're listening at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (04:52):

Agent two by the bye. Simon Porter joins us from.
