Speaker 1 (00:08):
Residents fighting Gurry. Nathan Burdon joins us once again this
afternoon on the Muster. Good afternoon, Nath The Stags redemption
is needed and quickly. They're playing Wellington at Potty Rower
this weekend. That game on Sunday, let's be honest, that
was a pathetic game of rugby from Southland. I'm sorry,
we got to be we have to be upfront about that, right, Yeah,
(00:29):
it was.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I think even even co coach James Wilson used the
word embarrassing, and he's not wrong. It was. It was
a very tough watch, a tough watch at the end
of a tough wee king, wasn't it. After the Warriors
went down the the Abs losing what margin, and then
the and then the Stags and a game which which
really should have been their opportunity to get a foothold
(00:53):
back into the season and make some sort of a
push towards a playoff spot just absolutely tank. That didn't
They against a counties team that had that had everything
against them. They had to. They had to bust down
Christ Hurts for having soaked the day before the game
and only got it got in at two o'clock in
the morning. But you would have thought it was the
(01:13):
other way around by what we saw.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
On Sunday, Hoskins to Touzo. I watched the guy. He
had a really strong game. The abs don't want him,
but counties will keep him in that form Before Southland,
where did it go so wrong? Just nothing seemed to
click on that back clothing, especially Sevi rees. You got
an all back on the wing, they never used them.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, I mean, you know, it sounds like there was
a game plan, but the players certainly weren't following it.
And then all the I guess, all the cards that
they had to play, particularly in terms of having some
impact from Philaton Penny and Semessi Tupo Tai Lawa, you know,
two players have been key figures for the Stags this
(01:54):
year and coming off the bench that wasn't there, and
just the ability I mean, I mean, the game plan
had to be get the born sever Reese's hands. And
to be honest, the wee boy that brought the ball
out to start the game probably got more time and
position than than old CVU did for the for the
whole game. So you know, obviously there was the wind
(02:15):
they had they had to win in the first half
they made They really made no they made no profit
out of that. Had they were facing a heavy deficit,
it was probably effectively over at halftime, really, wasn't it
heading back into the wins. So if anything, I guess
they just need to scrub that entirely. They need to
look back at it at the likes of the White
(02:35):
Caddo game to Bay a plenty game obviously second half
against Manawatu. Look at the good stuff they were doing there.
It's a team that's capable. And you know, this is
a Wellington team that's been pretty up and down this year,
so they are probably takeable up in port Roar. But
it would have to be the team the stout the
Southern team of a few weeks ago, not the Southern
team of last weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And they've got their all black speck as well. Peter
Lachlin K. Yeah, just to throw that into the equation, right.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Through all Blacks, Kyle Preston, Reuben Love, You're coming back
into the equations. So that just seems to be a lot,
doesn't it. We seem to be the team that is
at the abs, through the through the rehead players back
up again. But yeah, as we said, I mean that was.
It was a similar situation in a week game in
Hamilton a few weeks ago, which does feel a long
(03:25):
time ago now, but as we always say, a week
is a long time in sport, and as you mentioned before,
redemption is only eighty minutes away for the Stags, the.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Black Ferns, who've got the semi final against Canada at
the Rugby World Cup. Amy do to see gone, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
You're just you're really disappointing for Amy picking up that
shoulder injury in the in the first Paul game and
not being able to recover. And you know she's been
such a force in domestic rugby over the last couple
of seasons, Super rugby, opicky level with Marta II and
then you know this probably this was her tournament I
(04:02):
guess to be able to really bighlight her abilities at
international level. But you know that's I guess that sport.
Injuries are just a big part of it. We've still
got a presence here with Amy Ryle coming off the
bench and what's a what's a massive game against Canada.
There's been some some big tussles between these two teams
in recent years and it's by no means a fade Compley,
(04:25):
even though we've we've been able to avoid the likes
of France and England on the other side of the draw.
So I think after a game against Ireland where against
South Africa sorry, where the Black Friends probably were't as
dominant as they would have liked to have been, they'll
want to put a statement performance out there in this game,
get the win and then see who they are who
(04:46):
they get in the in the final at Twickenham.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
This is a great story from akiwe leans Jordy Beamers
World champion three thousand meter steeple chase after falling in
the in the heats of such and getting stopped on
for and hamous Kurra getting the Olympic World Championship double
going up two centimeters two meters thirty six to win
as well. This is really cool.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, huge, isn't it. I mean a sport that probably
it doesn't necessarily get the headlines that probably deserves. You know,
it's a long way behind probably some of our major
sports in terms of grabbing those headlines. But gee, I
think the other day in New Zealand was like fourth
on the medal table at the World Champs after those
gold medals which is just outstanding. And yeah, you're right.
(05:30):
I mean that that vision of Jordy Beamish going down,
copping some sprigs to the to the side of the head,
getting back up, managing to qualify through to the final,
and then just the way he won it, like to
run down his opponent. Who is the man when it
comes to the to the three k steeple chase. He's
done everything in that sport was just Albert Carl and
(05:54):
Jordy just seems like, you know, I don't know a
lot about this guy. He just seems like such a happy,
go lucky a sort of a character.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It was fantastic and I just I guess any chance
will you see the New Zealand Black singlet on a track?
And obviously you know we can hark back to an
amazing sort of legacy, but a lot of that was
in sort of black and white footage, so it's great
to see. It's great to see that happening again. And yeah,
Hamish care he's got some sort of a career slam now,
(06:25):
doesn't he In terms of World Champs, Olympics, Commonwealth Games,
Indoor World Champs, Diamond League, he's done it all. And yeah,
and he just sort of seems to keep going, and
he's even sort of talking about potentially breaking the world record,
which I think he's sort of ten centimeters shy of
at the moment. So keyw was flying high.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
He he's up, flowing high. Nathan, always appreciate your time.
Andler's up for Saturday. We need it.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, Handler's up, mate. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Laugh out loud with ag proud because life on the
land can be a laughing matter for to us place
your well data working to help the livestock. Farmer Bob
and his wife Susan decided to have a diet for
their summer vacation. After weeks of salads, Susan suggested a
cheap day. She came home with fish and chips. Bob
(07:14):
came home for secretary visiting Alice Revive at the hospital
at nine am to nine pm. We'll leave it there
for the afternoon. Thanks very much for your company. I'm
Andy Muller. This has been the muster one Hakanui. She's
to Peter's Genetics see her tomorrow.
