Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The rugby field to the rotary shed. It's the Country
Sport breakfast with Brian Kelly on Gold Sport. I think
producing Markel likes. So Kevin here joins us out of
Highland Rugby this morning. Morning, Kevin, good morning, How are
you very well? Thank you? Right, we're getting to the
shoppie and the business and now the competition. But just
looking back at last week, in a little bit of

(00:20):
a scare, would you say, with South Canterbury and West Coast, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
One hundred percent. West Coast really took it to the
South Cantabs and they had a majeous snuff at ending
the winning run. Last team to beat South Canterbury as
well back in twenty nineteen, and well they managed to
get away with a couple of bonus points which gives

(00:47):
them into the life for one more week. But South
Canterbury the machine keeps rolling. Will he right brings up
his one hundredth game. They blood four new players. Oh yeah,
it's a machine all right. And they were up till
four am at heker tick a beach celebrating on Sunday morning.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Oh how cool. Forty three thirty eight South Cantergary winning
that one. The other one. Would you call us one
an upset? That was Wanganui and King Country Wongannu. He
went down to King Country thirty four to seventeen.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Oh, yes you would call it an upset, but yes,
I also pretty much called it last week. That don't
be shocked to see Kin Country go over there and
give Wanganui a bit of a touch up. And of
course there's one trophy cabinet there in wong Wanue that's
looking a slightly lot intia now because the King Country

(01:46):
has the first team to lose and regain the bill
Osmon Timer, so they get the privilege of having their
name on the bottom of the trophy. Only the name
of the person holding it at the end of the
season gets their name on it. So we can only
just say yes, woman Lily, Yes, Teams Ali, Yes, Buller

(02:08):
and yes. At the end of twenty twenty four, Poverty Bay,
oh sorry, East Coast had held the bill Osbourne but
the trophy will say Kin Country.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
The other close one I think too was Horror Horror
Fino A Company and Thames Valley Horrofino A Company forty one,
Tams Valley thirty five.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
This was the upset. Now no one saw this coming
beautiful day at Sidianga. I think there are other been
too many landing now from the beach shrumps or something.
But Teams Ali they had a pretty much a full
squad and they just yeah, Harrofan brought it to them.

(02:51):
The interesting thing was with about five minutes ago, Harrath
and I actually had a player sent off and off
the top of head, can't remember, but the player got
sent off and I thought, oh, here we go. The
Wanganui boys they only need a convert to try to
win this. But Paraferanilla, to their credit, kept the Teams

(03:12):
Swamp Foxes in their twenty two for the remaining five
minutes of that game. The biggest story that had to
come out was the young bull boy who did a
cartwheel of the field. So that was an awesome, awesome
to see and well over a million views on the

(03:32):
old social media. So good on the young feller. But
that there was Temsali's opportunity. They blew it to have
a home semi finals this year. The king Country beat wonganily,
but Wanion teams Now finished both on thirty one points.
Woman Millly finished with one hundred and ninety three hundred

(03:56):
and eighty three points and one hundred and ninety nine
against teams. Now they finished with three hundred and forty
eight points and one hundred and ninety against pretty much
the same stats. But because wan He won sixteen fourteen
and Thames they get the tie break and go ahead,
and for the fifth consecutive Meads Cup semi final, we

(04:19):
will be having to write in the books Wanganui the
Thames Valley, let's stick of each other.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, that's that's one of the semis on Saturday, and
the other one is South Canterbury Mid Canterbury as well.
That's going to be a cracker.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah. So these games apparently will be televised, the Longani
tens Zalee games on at one thirty five and the
South Canterbury Mid Canterbury games on at three thirty five.
I haven't seen which channels are on yet, but well
I'm sure they'll throw it up. But yes, So the

(04:56):
great news here is we've got a South Island and
the North Islan and Battle and so we're going to
get a good split here for the for the Leads Cup,
also in the Little War Cup as well, because the
other results there that we haven't had a look at
was that as well? We did see, say the West Coast,

(05:17):
but then what's their name?

Speaker 1 (05:21):
What did yeah? Poverty Bay yeah, and what did apple
Bush East Coast?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah? Well then wire rapp Wash East Coast was a
virtual quarterfinal and wire rapple Busch had to win it. Unfortunately,
mid East Coast didn't get up and win that by
forty five to thirty two, and so now they have
to travel to King Country. After their win over Womanly,
they have to travel to king telfo to play in

(05:48):
the first semi finals of the Hall Cup at two
thirty And in the other game, I might actually slip
up to this for myself. The minor red and white
West Coast get to a chance to defend the little
Cup by playing half an hour and lovon. Now the
thing is highest winner hosts the final. So what West

(06:10):
Coast made as King Country get beaten by West Coast
beat half an nolla and we're back at johnsturge In
Park for another awesomilar hawk up next year.

Speaker 1 (06:18):

come this coming weekend. Kevin, love your love, your passion,
