Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sport, the latest from the Land and just great rock.
It's the Country Sport Breakfast with Brian Kelly on Gold Sport,
your home of live commentary.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Heading to the Land down Under and across the Tasman
Our Ossie correspondent Jim Doland joins us this morning, probably
tearing him away from watching the footy as well.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Morning Jim, Morning, Brian.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yes, England or Spain? Who are you going for?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Oh? Look, I've got lots of English mates. I have
to cheer of Spain. Oh they'll love you mate.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
All right, let's talk about the Broncos. A bad weekend
for the brizzy Broncos.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah, grand finalists last year, tip to do big things
this year and handed a sixth straight loss on Saturday
night at home by the Dragons, who are missing the
key Man and Ben Hunt. So the Dragons are now
four points ahead of the Broncos and people are saying
that they have to win. They can only afford one
more loss to Broncos and they run to the finals,

(01:10):
which means they're almost in mathematical proportions. As soon as
someone starts saying mathematical chance of making the finals, you
know that there's no chance so yeah, coach Kevy Walters.
He gave them a very short sharp spray after the
game then stormed out of the dressing room, so that
would have been an awkward place to be. Yeah, it

(01:33):
looks like the Broncos won't get a chance to go
one better this year. In other league news, of course,
the Blues have arrived in Brisbane ready for Origin three.
Just a couple of local knuckleheads given it to them
when they get there, just to let them know that
they're not the favorites. Bradman Best clear of his minor
hamstring injury in a run yesterday. Joseph Swale's back with

(01:53):
the team as the twentieth man, so unless there's a
real diduster, we won't see him in action and he'll
get a taste of what it looks like at Brisbane's
famous Lang Park.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, Wednesday, looking forward to that point. Alrighty the Wallabies,
let's talk about them. Two wins in a row mate.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yes, it's pretty spectacular, so a lot of good things
to like, and I think the one hundred meter try
that was finished off by Philippo Gunu that was just
spectacular with a tap back there and everything in the
Wales Welsh players couldn't do much about that, and thirty
six twenty eight in Melbourne a hard fought wind. Unfortunately
the weather meant a lot of the crowd stood out

(02:33):
of their seats away from the rain, so that minute
it didn't look like it was full. But they certainly
enjoyed that. And coach Joe Schmidt looks like he's getting
his young squad together. Had a few other players through
injury and other things, got a chance to play. They
take on Georgia this Saturday afternoon in Sydney and the
fans always say that we love afternoon rugby and if

(02:54):
you have that will come.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Well.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
They're a winning team. That's a daytime test match, so
the Elli On Stadium should be full on Saturday afternoon.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, great stuff for Joe smit season, that's for sure.
With the Wallabies all right, the Golden Girls aren't just
in the pool.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah. Five days after a personal best in the fifteen hundred,
Jessica Hull has taken almost two seconds off the two
thousand meter world record at the Diamond League Athletics meet
in Monaco. Now she reckoned. She was a little bit
leg weary after the fifteen hundred. The other night, which
was the fifth fastest time ever. So that was no

(03:31):
slouching effort there for her personal best, but a world
record in the two thousand obviously plenty of pressure and
lots of people looking at her now. With the Paris
Olympics justice a couple of weeks ago, she says she
was fatiguing badly in the closing lapse of the race,
but found a way to push herself to new heights.
I wish you could explain how that works because I
fatigued badly quite often doing a lot of things, and

(03:51):
I would like to be able to push myself through.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Hey, and we've got a tasty little final coming up
probably this morning and sale GP. It could be New
Zealand and Australia sailing off for a two million dollar
winner take all prize.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
That would hardly pay for the boat repairs, wouldn't it
in that sort of event.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
You're probably right, mate, But we look forward to that one.
All right. Well, that's halftime in the footy, no score,
have a great week and we'll talk again next week.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Funny liking to watch at the moment BK, I am
it's
