Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now we've got Nathan Burden from South and Sports with us. Nathan,
how you get on?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yeah? Very good mate, yourself?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Yeah, not bad actually considering the it feels like it's
getting a little more barm me out there with the temperatures.
We just need that wind to go away, and you know,
we'd be ectally in a really good spot barring the obvious.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, there's been a heck of a lot happening, hasn't there.
I think we if we go back a week you
and I were speaking, it was knocking on twenty degrees,
the wind was the wind was sort of just starting
to get up. But I don't think we had any
idea that we were going to get hit with with
what we got with what we got hit by violent
within about ten minutes of that. It was. It was
(00:40):
all happening, wasn't it. And obviously, you know, thoughts go
out to the people that are still coping, you know,
trying to catch up on sleep, trying to still get
the power on, trying to make things work and clean up.
I guess after what was a what was a pretty
unprecedented weather event, to.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Right, Yeah, and their heart does go out to everybody,
and you know, they're a tough breed and quite often
they just get on with it, and I think people
need to realize just what they do go through at
times as well.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, I just catching up with a relative of mine
who's closely linked to the farming and industry, and one
of the clients that he was talking to had been
sort of hadn't been sleeping for twenty four to forty
eight hours because they were working. They were using one
generator to sort of basically run the whole farm and
and you know, and I guess it's sort of the
(01:32):
not you know, when you're in it, you're in it
and then and it's some of that afterwards when when
when people really need to sort of look after themselves
and look after the people around them too. So yeah,
it's it's you know, well being is a big part
of this, isn't it. There'll be that's on effects. It
doesn't stop straight away. So yeah, good luck to everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yes, yes, absolutely. Now speaking of where the tour of Southland,
obviously there's been destruction, they've they've postponed.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, so the Yeah, I guess one of the knock
on effects of the whole of this whole thing. SPS
bent Tour South and the committee that organized the race
had had made the decision that you know that obviously
the priority in terms of the community was getting this
the cleanup and getting infrastructure back online, so things like
(02:24):
traffic management services in particular, and you know that's really
where those resources need to need it to be directed.
So they made the brave call, but the right call
postponed next week's race, and then they sort of left
with this conundrum of its it's not just it's not
just the sort of the event. It's such a big
event you can't just sort of flick the switch on
(02:46):
and off with it. So then it was really about,
you know, can we find some dates to host this
thing and we still sort of such an iconic event
on the on the South and Sporting calendar. I did
see someone mentioned that the weather doesn't come right until
after the tour's been so if we don't have a
towards that mean we don't get a summer. So obviously
there's all sorts of motivation to get this race on
(03:08):
the map. So you know, there's been a lot of
a lot of work's been done at the start of
this week to get all the eyes dotted and the
teas crossed and they've come up with a date January
twenty fourth, twenty twenty six. They'll end up having two
SBS Bank Tour Southend in twenty six, the sixty nineteen
the seventieth edition. So a bit of a silver lining
(03:28):
to come out of what was you know, what's been
a big old week.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, and put it this way, if we know that
it is if the weather's bad because of the tour
of South and then it's still rubbish up until New Year,
there's going to have to be a review whether we
have it. Ever again, let's face it, we want good
weather too. No I say that, plug and cheek.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's right, we've got to yeah, I mean it's it's synonymous,
isn't it. For although in saying that, just the last
few tours the weather has been disgustingly good to be fair,
and it's a little bit like a Links golf course.
If the weather's too good then the riders sort of
don't get that full South and experience. So yeah, so
while we would I think all of us are probably
a bit over the wind. We do probably need to
(04:11):
save up a little bit. And now I have it
in mid January when when that bike races on.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
We don't want to make it too easy on them,
do we.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
No, definitely not.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Netball. There's a the last test match in the netball.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Last night, yeah, the Constellation Cup, and you know, after
four games for four hours of netball, it all comes
down to extra time. Last night. Silver Ferns did everything
that they could. They they were down by three and
six goals right through that game and they've managed to
They needed to get the win to draw it to
war and then take us to this sort of extra
(04:48):
time sudden death situation. A bit of a strange sort
of a situation, I think, and to me, it always
sort of leans towards that team that finishes the game stronger.
They you would hope that they can then knock on
and it looked like it was almost going to be
that way I think early doors that the Silver Ferns
were going to push on. But just such a wily
(05:10):
and very strong Australian team and very clever the way
they finished that off. So it was basically goal for
goal through the two seven minute halves and an extra
time and then Australia had about thirty seconds left and
they were pretty desperate to be the last team to
use the ball so and it worked out for them.
They managed to they manage to get the ball through
(05:30):
the hoop with a couple of seconds to go, and
just amazing. I think with all that's been going on
across the Silver Ferns and net New Zealand in general,
that it all just comes down to one goal after
four hours of netball.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
So sorry, after some of the earlier results, you wouldn't
thought they would have got closer. You got to take
your head off to them for fighting back.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, I think they've shown a lot of resilience. You
two seventeen goal thrashings really, if we're going to be
honest over and then they've they've come back to New
Zealand and won two Tests in a row. Just amazing.
What home court advantage I think it's been. It's been
quite a few years now. It's Australia have won a
Test on this side of the ditch. So yeah, just
(06:15):
I guess it's sort of shows the the what we're
the international netballs at at the moment. So and of
course we've had the news in the meantime that Dame
nol And Todua is going to be back in charge
of the Silver Friends, yes next year, so you plan
plenty enpening.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
In the There's plenty of comments to be thrown around
on that. I think we'll leave them there because that
could take an hour just quickly moving on to over
the weekend, there is an All ex test in Chicago
the Irish.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So ye're starting at the Grand Slam Tour, isn't it so?
And again that you know there's a there's a there's
a couple of abs there that have got some not
so great memories from taking on the Irish in Chicago,
so you know they'll be will be pretty desperate to
start this Grand Slam Tour off on the right note
the Iris by the same token, I don't think the
(07:04):
All Blacks hold quite the same demons that they that
they once did, and they'll be they'd love to kill
any thought of a Grand Slam Tour off in the
first week.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So yeah, and you've got your Arnie's comments after the
quarterfinal two. So it's a little bit of motivation.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
There that that left a bit of spice in that
relationship for a long time.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Did Hey mate, Look, I'm sorry to have to call
us short, but we are out of time. Thank you
very much for coming back on the show, and yeah
we'll probably catch up with there. I don't know when
I'll be back on next but anyway, it's been awesome
keeping touch no.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Worries, thanks mate.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
