Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hither.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
You're right, Rugby does need to change, but it needs
to change back to how it was before it was
taken over by the non rugby minded people. Seventeen passed
for Jason Pine sports talkhosters with USA Piney, Hello, Heather,
before we get into that, how about that Ryan Fox
so good?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I absolutely loved that this morning. I think it's really
easy to like Ryan Fox and to want success for
him because I think we can all see in him
some of the qualities we like to think we have
in ourselves, you know, as key We's humility, just a
down to earth nature, ability to get on with people,
not take yourself too seriously. It's clearly working because having
not won any PGA Tour titles up until a month ago,
(00:37):
he's now won two and less than a month. He's
got the US Open to come in the weak ahead,
and it's twenty years since Michael Campbell, another great KEI
we won that tournament. So yeah, it's all trending upwards
for Ryan Fox and you'll love to see it.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I saw him say that one of the shots was
the best shot of his life. Which one was that?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, that was a skin shot on the fourth playoff hole.
He said it from the fairway to within about I
don't know, four or five meters of the pen. So
he's got an, he's got an. That's the one.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
He was using the three wood fall.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's it. That's the one. And everyone's going, what are
you doing? Man? But he's a you know. I loved it,
and it forced Sam Burns to have a go at
his part, which was much further away. Couldn't get it done.
A couple of parts for Ryan, and he's sold in the.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Trump those parts, didn't they what was going on? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, they could have. I think one or both of
them could have probably won before we got to the
fourth My off hold of just started to get a
bit dark in Toronto. But yeah, no they I guess
it's pressure, right, and and it just added to the drama.
I reckon. They kept on, kept on making the same score,
kept on getting in the cart, going back to the
eighteenth tee and having another go.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Okay, now let's talk about Mark Robinson. This was not
a shock at all, was it. I Mean, this was
the moment that David Kirk came on. You knew it
was going to end like this, didn't you.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah? Yeah, And look I've been listening to parts of
the press conference, which is which is I think maybe
still going certainly ongoing. And look, he's living away from
his family, that's one thing, so that's clearly what you know,
what is it heart of this? But it just seems
as though there has been a bit of an agitating
for change. And you know, I think any CEO in
any business, you know, you come in, you make your
(02:09):
mark whatever that is, and then you go. You don't
hang around for more than six, seven, eight years. Normally
that's the corporate rule, isn't it hither that you come
in for sort of that that six or seven years
and then they give somebody else a crack.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. I mean,
there are so many factors Piney, I think that you'd
have to take into consideration, but surely being good at
it as one of them. And you know, as much
as I like quite enjoyed spending time with Mark Robinson
when I did, he wasn't very good at it.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Was he well, and he inherited you know, New Zealand
Rugby just before COVID. He couldn't possibly foreseen.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That cod I'm not COVID to not make him and
all fozzy the way he did.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
No, No, that No, that's another good point. That's a
good point. I'm just all I'm saying. I'm from a
wide lens. He did take it over in a time
of trouble and navigate it through.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
What is he done to change?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, and well he's I mean, we probably don't have
enough time to go through what he has and hasn't done.
But what I will say is that the books haven't
balanced for the last three years, so that's never going
to be a good place to start. Look, I think
it's time for change. I'll be very interested to see
who comes into that role.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Somebody said to me on the text railing castle, what
do you reckon.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Well, very very highly experienced administrator to do well? Well, yeah,
there'll be all sorts of people with their hand up
for it. Heather. It's a plum. It's the plum sporting
role in New Zealand. So that we any number of
people getting their CV ready.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Now, Piney. Actual shock is Stu Wilson dying, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Because the guy's only seventy, yes, as young as in
it seventy is young man, and we don't know the circumstances,
but what a full life he led. Wonderful all black
in a time where you know, all blacks were pretty
gruff and didn't say a lot. He was a character,
you know, wonderful after dinner speaker in recent times. Had
the opportunity I did a Q and A with him once.
(03:59):
Heather asked one question and he spoke for fourteen minutes
and didn't even answer the question. It was the easiest
MC job I ever did.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It was a yeah, yeah, not always good. Eh.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
He was great. He had he had the room in
the palm of his hand.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
He will be missed finey, thank you as always, I
appreciate it. Jason Pine Sports Talk Post. He'll be back
at seven o'clock to night here on news Stalk ZEDB.
