Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Weekend Sport Podcast with Jason Vine
from newstalksb.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Sundays, we catch up with James mcconey. Lots to get through, mate,
Can we start with track and field gold for Jordy Beamish,
Gold for Hamish Kerr.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Exactly incredible double and also that finished by Jordi Beamish
will be replayed for many years to come in every
country in the world and even Fox Sports from Australia
just said, have a look at the kiwi Jordy Beamish
and I think it was on ESPNBBC World, you know,
like it's everywhere because it's a massive moment and I
(00:42):
mean you would have loved it as well.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Pony right, absolutely love to and to run down the
bloke who's just basically dominated this event, the Moroccan Elbakarley,
to run him down in that fashion. Did you see
Elbercarli afterwards that he was so annoyed with himself, just
punching himself in the head.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, exactly, And it was his first defeat in the
major championship since twenty nineteen. But this is the thing.
The World champs are huge, right, I know that the Olympics,
everyone says that's the pinnacle, and it is. But you know, look,
golfers and tennis players get four majors each year, it's crazy, right,
So the athletes only get three every four years, right,
(01:20):
so they get the Olympics and they get these two
every two years it's the World Champs. So this is
so massive that he's up there with, you know, in
the pantheon of greats with love Lock how big snow
you know, Alison and Ordain, all the ones who have
gone before and won those big major world titles. He
is right up there, the country kid from a Hawk's
(01:42):
Bay f Arm.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Just love the black singlet coming down the home straight
in middle distance, don't you. It's just something about it
just evoke so many memories. And then you've got Hamus Kerr,
who seems to have got the hang of this now,
you know, World Champion, Olympic Champion, World Indoor Champion, Commonwealth
Games champion. He might have another couple of big moments
ahead of him. Two thirty six's is PB I know
(02:05):
he's targeting two four the word records two forty five,
who knows?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I know, and we all know as well, Poney, he's
going to take over from all of us in the media.
He's such a great interview Hamish care yep. But the
thing is he's he's we shouldn't be about his excellence, right,
So backing up their Olympic gold and now World champs,
we've actually got it's two of the biggest deals. I mean,
you think about the steeple chase is huge. I can
(02:31):
remember years when it would just be three African runners,
you know, sometimes three Kenyans in the medal position, so
Jordi b miss and then you've got Hamish Cure the
black singlet flying over like that. I mean you have
to go back in history really to find someone who's
who's done as well as him. He's doubled up. I
think Sotomaya from from Cuba is considered the goat, but
(02:52):
there were a few boycotts that got in the way
of his dominance. But let's see how far homous can go.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Looking forward to that, Maddy Wishie with a bronze in
the shop put overnight as well more on the track
and field, after two other black ferns will play off
a third and fourth. You have to give credit to
Canada though they were superb yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, you can't blame anyone else. You have to blame Canada,
if you know the self reference. I applaud you great,
great movie, by the way. It might shock some of
our the listeners though, Poney, but yeah, look, we were
missing our best player. Georgia Miller is already our best
player and she mainly plays seven. So that's part of
(03:32):
the issue I just wanted to talk about, which is, yeah,
we got ambushed by Canada, but they have specialists fifteens
players who excel and a great example of their halfback
Justin Justin Pellettier, who was brilliant and you know she
plays in France, whereas our halfback Racy Pauty Laine, who's
still an outstanding player, is playing a trade in the
(03:53):
seventh circuit. So it's just not the same really, and
a lock like the goodies who's kicking goals for Canada,
I mean, just a freak really and also committed to
the fifteenth game.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yep, so Canada England in the final. That'll be an
interesting one to keep eyes on a week from now
to the All Blacks, who will gather today presumably to
prepare for next Saturday's first Bleedislow Cup Test. I enjoyed
seeing Cam Royguard back out on the field yesterday for Counties.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I know. That's one of my favorite stories is Cam
Royguard who actually played in the White Cuts, who played
at Saint Peter's College there and he was, you know,
a star, but he had to move to Counties. He
played for Orni Federal Club, which is out it's in
the wop wops out towards Port White Cuts or in
twenty nineteen and you know, four years later he's at
(04:42):
a World Cup. Six years later, he's one of the
best players in the world. And you know, just watching
him play for the Steelers there just the class he's shown.
And you know Razor will be relieved to see that.
But if you put Hardy Savier and Will Jordan at
the top of the All Blacks tree, well then Royguard
is right up there too.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Agree. I agree. Yeah, He and Cody Taylor for me,
are the are the others who are in that sort
of that uppericial line. Ye're just so pleased to have
to have Camera re Guard back. Presumably they'll put him
straight back in the side. I'd imagine that that would
be the case. Hey, the ram Furley shield has has
taken up residence and dned and we just had Mark
Brown on their coach. They'll be happy down and done
as you reckon, they'll hold on to it against North
(05:21):
Harbor or is there another another change of hands coming well.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
As Villi Armi Wakerson door do it and do it
to Pooky playing because I do remember a famous Harbor
Shield victory was that six and going back, look, I
think they can hold on, but they need to hold
on to Lucas Casey down there.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The god what a player.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
What I mean, ras has got to get him in
the All Blacks as well, because I mean, I know
it's NBC, but it usually translates, you know you can.
Jonah was picked from the Condor sevens basically, you know,
like you can tell when someone is an absolute superstar.
And if he scored the triary, he left the last
defender I don't want to say fullback because I'm not
(06:04):
sure it was the fullback, but left the standing like
a statue. Statue bro you were just there standing while
Lucas Casey scored. Would have been a try and touch
rugby as well. Yeah, a flanker from Kerry Cary up
North Kenny Kenny. He is he's a north winder who's
gone down south.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I think the Highlands will pick him up, won't they. Surely,
surely a good heart.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Everybody will be fighting for his signature. He he's I mean,
a star is born. Really. He did score an incredible
try against Wellington, I think, but scoring those two tries,
you won't see two bitter tries. And of course we've
been thropping on Oli Mathis and Henry Pollock from England.
But now Lucas Casey seems to have raise the bar
for Otago And it almost makes because I'm a white
(06:49):
cuttle guy. So I remember Arthur Stone scoring an incredible
winning try, and you know Wayne Smith scored a great
win against you guys and Wellington and you know the
list goes on, but that's up. There was one of
the greatest radfly Shield winning tries ever.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yep, loved it. High quick word on the shocks. I
beat the writers the Raiders a week ago, thought they
were through to the preliminary final. Now they're getting read
for Mad Monday.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah. And it's kind of funny because Ricky Stewart, you
gotta love him, but he's just one of those angry coaches.
He's sort of you can imagine smashing up the changer
and or doing whatever. But hey, the Raiders where the
pace setters, but sometimes the cream just rises to the top.
So two things. One, as a kid, I was a
massive fan of Kevin Edle and his son Kal Edle
(07:32):
is playing in the centers for the Sharks, and he
made a fifty meter run that set up a try beautifully,
even though the Aussie commentators kind of ignored it and
said it was a great cut move between the two halves.
I'm like, come on, mate, the kiw we just ran well,
son of a Kee, we just ran fifty meters. Did
you Australians get on the on the page. But the
(07:55):
other thing that stood out was the banter of the
Sharks fans doing the Viking clap, which of course the
Raiders fans have adopted from the Iceland football fans. But
they did a full Viking clap in Canberra. So applaud that.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Applaud that too, and applaud you always love chatting James.
We'll do it again next week, James maccaroni.
