Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Wellington Mornings podcast with Nick Mills
from News Talk sat B. Get yours Sporting Fix Friday
Sports on Wellington Mornings.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Joining us for Friday Sport Kickoffs two of News Talk
setbess AND's Gold Sports Olympic commentary team Jason Pine and
Adam Cooper Morning Party, Morning.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Coops, Morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Right, first night you work toward pinety, you've done a
couple of working through the night.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
How you're feeling. What's it like?
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Oh? I feel pretty good. Actually I don't know what
day it is. I think it could be Friday. In fact,
we're talking sport would suggest it's Friday. Yeah, I've had
a couple of nights working through the night. Coops joined
me overnight last night. I get the feeling we'll get
to know one another pretty well over the next two
and a half weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
While you're sitting next to each other and you talk
like you're been a wife when you're in the work
on a normal days. So I think that I think
you've already got to know each other pretty damn well.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
But keeps How was your first night?
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Very good. So you know, one of the great things
Nick about the Olympics is the different sports you get
to watch and you we had you know, the likes
of the sevens and the football on this morning, but
handball was underway, you know what. I really enjoyed watching
that overnight. You know, outside the Olympics, you really don't
get a chance to watch much of that on TV.
We had somen archery as well, but yeah, just great
for it all to finally been underway. You know, we
had all that, We've had all the selection announcements for
(01:34):
all the different sports over the last few months. So
much build up, you know, so much talk around you know,
opening ceremony, security and everything like that. But it's nice
to just have a few sports underway. Obviously opening ceremony
tomorrow morning, and then it all kick starts with most
of the main sports getting underway from tomorrow night. So yeah,
really exciting and yeah, really looking forward to working through
(01:55):
the night and being part of the coverage they've been gouldsible.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
What time do you go to bed? What time are
you guys going to be in the mornings.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
I think it will depend. At the moment. It's a
bit false because we're not really work. We're working during
the day and at night, so I think once we
get going. We worked till about ten in the morning,
so we'll probably go to bed shortly after that, get
up I guess mid to late afternoon, and then go again.
But it's not forever, Nick, you know, we can see
we can sleep later in our lives.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I guess for All Black Sevens coops knocked out by
South Africa already. Now, I didn't realize that that means
there is not even a chance of a bronze. They've
gone in the quarter finals, so they're actually out.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, not great, isn't it. Obviously the All Black Sevens
were on the list that I made sort of before
the Olympics of you know, a team that was a
genuine medal chance but also a genuine gold medal chants. Yeah,
just remarkable really considering twenty four hours ago they ready
dealt to South Africa and the pool play of the competition,
and you know, I ready made a statement, I thought
(02:54):
against the South Africans and put them in much muscle
and territory to come back against Japan to even qualify
for the quarter finals. Yet here we are at day
on and South Africa really came out of retaliated fourteen
seven was score this morning. The New Zealand team just
you know, uncharacteristically rarely struggled to get passes together. They
made a lot of errors, They set up some chances
(03:15):
but couldn't finish things off. You know, just a great
performance by by South Africa. I'm really putting pressure on
New Zealand just to make errors and do this. And jeez,
the reaction from some of these New Zealand seven players
as they came off the field with absolute devastation. They
said very little in you know, postmatch in the views,
they didn't really know what to say. And you've got
(03:36):
to feel for them because you know, this is the
one main focus this team has every four years, the
whole four year cycle, hingas on success at an Olympic Games,
and they blew it with a pretty poor performance in
a quarterfinal. So yeah, not a great result to start
in New Zealand's sort of campaign at the Olympics in
terms of rugby seven's with one of the genuine medal
(03:56):
contenders and genuine champion contenders out.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
And they're on their way home. Pliny because you apparently,
if I'm right, and you'll definitely know the answer to
this I think you've got forty eight hours to get
out of the village once you've lost, so that would
be pretty devastating. You go all the way to the world,
to the Olympics in Paris, and your home before it
even starts. Now, I want to also talk to you
to football, to you Pioneer, because both the men's and
(04:21):
women football teams have begun their campaigns. Women had to
deal with that spying scandal. You're ever going to have
much effect. I've just done an hour and a half
an hour on the show thinking I think it's disgraceful
that it happened, and I'm really disappointed with the Olympic
Committee's decision not to do more about it.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Yeah. Look, I don't think it affected the game. I
don't think once those players crossed the white lines onto
the grass at Saints Easy End this morning that they
were thinking about drones or the previous two days. In fact,
on the contrary, I think they were probably just quite
pleased to get a foot behind them so they can
actually play some football. I mean, really port formed by Canada,
(04:58):
and the wider question is why did they feel they
had to? You know, Canada and women's football are so
far ahead of New Zealand. Look, these two teams have
now met sixteen times and New Zealand's only won one
of those and that was the first time they played
in nineteen eighty seven. So the last fifteen games, New
Zealand haven't won any of them. So while with Canada
(05:18):
feel the need to put a drone up and spy
on New Zealand, I guess the question begs itself. Are
New Zealand the only team that Canada have been spying on?
And perhaps it was only New Zealand that detected the drone.
Maybe they've got a bit low. I don't know, that's
probably you know, speculating, But look, Canada were better than
New Zealand this morning. I think New Zealand gave a
(05:39):
pretty good acounta themselves. Took the lead with a really
nice goal from Wellington Phoenix play McKenzie Bowie, but they
grew level Canada at halftime or just before half time
and then got the winner late on. The men were
very good yesterday I thought, and beating Guinea two one,
They've got their Olympic campaign off to an excellent start.
So looking forward to watching them up against the United
(05:59):
States in the early hours of tomorrow morning. So yeah,
look it's all coming thick and fast. Yeah, look at
the drone thing was was really really poor form, as
I say, from from from Canada, and absolutely unnecessary as
well as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Okay, I want to quickly ask you both New Zealand's
main medal hopes.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Who have you have?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I said to you, give me three names are going
to that are going I've got to watch because a
gold medal is going to be one.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Coops, give me your three?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, pretty easy, Lisa Carrington, I think the women's rugby
sevens team and for me it's probably adding another one there.
But both Emma Twigg and Lewis clear, bit rower and
swimmer respectively. I think they're genuine chances. They're all in
action over the next few days getting their campaigns underway.
But yeah, those those would be my picks. I did
have the men's rugby sevens, as I said, Nick, in
(06:49):
that list, but they're crossing that off now.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Well, just you're you're on fire. You're on fire this morning, Coops,
haven't you? You're one from one fail? Uh? Pie?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Your your three that you say say, Nick, You've got
to watch these because you'll see a gold medal being one.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Well, I'm liking the look of Hayden Wild and the
Means triathlon. That's on Tuesday evening, New Zealand time, six
o'clock Tuesday evening, so very good time to watch eight
o'clock in the morning in Paris. So look at the
hated Wild. I think he's a great chance of gold.
I also think that eric A Fairweather is a medal
chance in the pool on Sunday morning, New Zealand time.
(07:24):
She's in the four hundred meter freestyle, which is one
of the most competitive fields in swimming. Five swimmers in
history have gone under four hundred under four minutes for
the four hundred meters in the women's and four of
them are at this Olympics. One of those is eric
A fair Weather, So I reckon she might be a
chance as well. And look like coops, if you were
(07:44):
going to absolutely put all your money on one New
Zealand team or athlete winning gold, it'd be the New
Zealand women's seven side. They just seem the most likely
to repeat their feats of three years ago and bring
home a gold medal. And now they've got extra motivation
because they'll be doing it for the sport of rugby. Seven.
The men couldn't do it, so now it's all up
(08:04):
to the women.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
What about that Bill Fisher that was in the kayaking,
isn't she's supposed to be coming from nowhere and going
to be a chance?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Is she there? Is she even there? Have I got
that wrong?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
No? No, you never get anything wrong, Absolutely not. You've
got that right. Amy Fisher and Lisa Carrington, they've got
to be a chance for a ki We won two
in the K one five hundred. Amy Fisher and Dame
Lisa Carrington have battled it out over the last year
or so and Amy Fisher has more than once beaten
Dame Lisa Carrington over five hundred meters so in the
(08:35):
K one five hundred. Look out for a Kiwi gold silver.
But I wouldn't like to call him which order?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Okay, Wellington's Lewis claire Bert, even though he's training in Auckland.
We'll call him Wellington, of course, we'll call him a
Welling tad. He's racing on Sunday night.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Coops. You've had a lot to do with him during
his career.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
With an interview after interview, how are you feeling about
this one, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I think really good. I mean Lewis's replicators has built
up to this competition exactly the same as he did
when he swam at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham two
years ago, and he achieved his personal just time and
has preferred four hundred meter medley. So he's been in
New Yorker for the last month. He thrives on just
being in the sunshine, you know, relaxed environment, away from
(09:16):
the pressure and all the eyes and ears around New
Zealand with eyes on hivn't know, and in touch base
with him during the week Necker. I think he's got
so much confidence. He doesn't seem to have absorbed any
of the pressure and you know, expectations around and chatter around.
You know just how long it has been between medals
for New Zealand in the Olympics swimming. So I think
he's primed to swim arguably the fastest he ever has
(09:39):
in the four hundred individual medley, which is underway Sunday night.
The only problem is is just how fierce his opponents
are going to be. Leon Marshon of France, you know,
his home Olympics, his personal best and world record time
is six seconds faster than Lewis Clearbert's personal best, so
certainly a tough one for gold. I think Lewis Clairberts, certainly,
with a chance to meddle at this meat, could go
(10:01):
for gold. You can't rule that out, but I think
he's in a prime spot and he's certain moved to
Auckland's has done and wonders get out of the chaos.
He was early with the Wellington.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Okay Piney Warrington Poles Central Pulse. Can't call them Wellington Poles.
Central Pulse qualified for the A and Z Premiership as
the final as minor premiers.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I mean, what a season have they lost?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
That?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
It would be a travesy, wouldn't it.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Put the name on the trophy? Next got the name
on the trophy?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Choke, let's start. What about you coeps? Have you got
anything to add to that one?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah? Just that I hear that. The tickets for next
Sunday's final, this is the final is next weekend here
in Wellington, first weekend of all. They sold out in
two minutes. Two minutes. It took for that whole game
to sell that and I just think that sums up
just the connection the Poles have with the community, how
impressive they have been as a team this year, and
you know just that the stature they're held and by
many fans around the region. So the tactics make the
(10:56):
mystics tomorrow down in christ Church to the side who
will be coming to Wellington next Sunday for the big
netball final and the Polse deserve every bit of credit
they get this in this moment with what they say
seem injuries. Yeah, big, big weekend.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It is a big weekend and all the best for
the Pulse.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Now I've only got a minute and a half, but
I really can't not mention club rugby finals because I'm
a traditionalist of rugby Club Club Finals at par Park
tomorrow Old Boys University versus Tarwa Piney just down the
road from your place. You're not there, but big, big,
big event for club rugby.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Who do you think I'm backing out of Old Boys
University in a Tawa.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Well you're a tco B so I know you'll be going.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Tawa absolutely two, three to two all the way. Put
the name on that trophy as well. Why are you
going to get on there on the airport for the
Pulse to the Tarbo Boys. Now, oh look, I love
club rugby, love grassroots sporters. I think all three of
us do. Here. Here's to a great occasion for club
finals day. It's still has a very special part in
our sporting zabric. I believe come on the two, three
(11:55):
to two, go Tawah.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Come on, coops.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You're going to go for Old Boys University because of
the school you went to, aren't you?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Oh you can't, can't go past? And yeah the Goats,
I think they're going to get the job done. They
won the fun Dale Show about a month ago, though
they came in as top qualify. That's the first round
of the Jubileeue couple of months ago. Tawa won the
game by one point, so I think that sums up
what kind of final there'll be at three fifteen tomorrow
afternoon at Potty do A Park. So yeah, bring it on.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'm clare big. Thanks guys. Have a great sleep during
the day. It's a beautiful day and Paradise and Wellington.
You would not be able to sleep during the day here,
but have a good sleep, enjoy the show. I'm going
to be listening with my pods on all night, listening
to you guys, so make sure you do a good
job for us.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Coops, Morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Right, first night you work toward pinety, you've done a
couple of working through the night.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
How you're feeling. What's it like?
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Oh? I feel pretty good. Actually I don't know what

we're talking sport would suggest it's Friday. Yeah, I've had
a couple of nights working through the night. Coops joined

and a half weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
While you're sitting next to each other and you talk
like you're been a wife when you're in the work

But keeps How was your first night?
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Yeah?

But it's not forever, Nick, you know, we can see
we can sleep later in our lives.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I guess for All Black Sevens coops knocked out by
South Africa already. Now, I didn't realize that that means
there is not even a chance of a bronze. They've
gone in the quarter finals, so they're actually out.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, not great, isn't it. Obviously the All Black Sevens

to football, to you Pioneer, because both the men's and

We'll call him Wellington, of course, we'll call him a

I think really good. I mean Lewis's replicators has built

being in the sunshine, you know, relaxed environment, away from
(09:16):
the pressure and all the eyes and ears around New
Zealand with eyes on hivn't know, and in touch base
with him during the week Necker. I think he's got
so much confidence. He doesn't seem to have absorbed any
of the pressure and you know, expectations around and chatter around.
You know just how long it has been between medals
for New Zealand in the Olympics swimming. So I think
he's primed to swim arguably the fastest he ever has
(09:39):
in the four hundred individual medley, which is underway Sunday night.
The only problem is is just how fierce his opponents
are going to be. Leon Marshon of France, you know,
his home Olympics, his personal best and world record time
is six seconds faster than Lewis Clearbert's personal best, so
certainly a tough one for gold. I think Lewis Clairberts, certainly,
with a chance to meddle at this meat, could go
(10:01):
for gold. You can't rule that out, but I think
he's in a prime spot and he's certain moved to
Auckland's has done and wonders get out of the chaos.
He was early with the Wellington.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Okay Piney Warrington Poles Central Pulse. Can't call them Wellington Poles.
Central Pulse qualified for the A and Z Premiership as
the final as minor premiers.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I mean, what a season have they lost?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
That?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
It would be a travesy, wouldn't it.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Put the name on the trophy? Next got the name
on the trophy?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Choke, let's start. What about you coeps? Have you got
anything to add to that one?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah? Just that I hear that. The tickets for next
Sunday's final, this is the final is next weekend here
in Wellington, first weekend of all. They sold out in
two minutes. Two minutes. It took for that whole game
to sell that and I just think that sums up
just the connection the Poles have with the community, how
impressive they have been as a team this year, and
you know just that the stature they're held and by
many fans around the region. So the tactics make the
(10:56):
mystics tomorrow down in christ Church to the side who
will be coming to Wellington next Sunday for the big
netball final and the Polse deserve every bit of credit
they get this in this moment with what they say
seem injuries. Yeah, big, big weekend.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It is a big weekend and all the best for
the Pulse.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Now I've only got a minute and a half, but
I really can't not mention club rugby finals because I'm
a traditionalist of rugby Club Club Finals at par Park
tomorrow Old Boys University versus Tarwa Piney just down the
road from your place. You're not there, but big, big,
big event for club rugby.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Who do you think I'm backing out of Old Boys
University in a Tawa.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Well you're a tco B so I know you'll be going.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Tawa absolutely two, three to two all the way. Put
the name on that trophy as well. Why are you
going to get on there on the airport for the
Pulse to the Tarbo Boys. Now, oh look, I love
club rugby, love grassroots sporters. I think all three of
us do. Here. Here's to a great occasion for club
finals day. It's still has a very special part in
our sporting zabric. I believe come on the two, three
(11:55):
to two, go Tawah.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Come on, coops.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You're going to go for Old Boys University because of
the school you went to, aren't you?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Oh you can't, can't go past? And yeah the Goats,
I think they're going to get the job done. They
won the fun Dale Show about a month ago, though
they came in as top qualify. That's the first round
of the Jubileeue couple of months ago. Tawa won the
game by one point, so I think that sums up
what kind of final there'll be at three fifteen tomorrow
afternoon at Potty do A Park. So yeah, bring it on.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'm clare big. Thanks guys. Have a great sleep during
the day. It's a beautiful day and Paradise and Wellington.
