Speaker 1 (00:05):
From us.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
This says a master on Hakanui. Resident sporting gury. Nathan
Burnan joins us once again. Good ay, nath.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Mate, how are you pretty good? You too?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
All I want is you from the Wrestling hum album
of nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Great great band, back.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
In the good old days before they before they got
a little bit weird. I'm not a massive concert concert goer,
but I have been to you two a couple of
times at Mount Smart and they put on a pretty
good show.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Zoo Roper was arguably when they started to jump the shark.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yeah, jump the shark, get a bit political, get a
bit bono, sort of got a bit, got a bit loose,
really didn't he? But yeah, that old stuff. Fantastic.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Sevu Reese, good old South and Swedes Sevu. He's flying
the coop from New Zealand Rugby at the end of
the year, going over to Purple Gong. Only if they
don't drop the visions apparently. But look, you can't ask you.
The guy has been a great servant for the Crusaders
and the All Blacks as well, and ye're not really
for Southland, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Messive, massive servant for the Crusaders, hasn't he since twenty
nineteen the leading trist was actually a little bit surprised
by this, but the leading tri score in all Super
Rugby for New Zealand. It's a fantastic effort. Hopefully would
bring up one hundred games for the Crusaders in the
in the next year's competition. So he's been he's been

(01:30):
great for them, and yeah, so it was plenty of
excitement when he when he signed with Southland, and there
was a lot of excitement obviously when he when he
finally made that appearance in a Marine jersey. Unfortunately didn't
get touched the ball much and that was a game
that will probably prefer to prefer to forget, but just
I guess it just shows you the fleeting nature of
sports term and he was arguably, you know very much

(01:54):
and that the starting winger for the All Blacks at
the beginning of this campaign, but it was almost a
forgotten man by the end of it. So you know,
you can't blame these guys for as they start that
sort of inevitable slide that they that they want to
cash in.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, take it.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Joe Rockethoko sit of any sort of zipavatos, A couple
of wingers off the top of my head, who've played
a lot of rugby in New Zealand were really good
players as well, went overseas and that's just the nature
of the beast, right They've got to go overseas and
make hay while the sun shines to corner.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Phrase.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, a couple of great names of New Zealand World
rugby the year, isn't it. And I guess it's some
of that top end that top end speed. When I
think of severe Reece, I think about probably know what
arguably might be the last try that he scored for
the All Blacks, you know, against Wales, where he had
basically no room to move and he managed to completely

(02:46):
skin the defender on the outside who never even got
a fingernail on him. That was just it was just
a classic sort of severy Reese try and and I guess,
you know, if that's sort of the lasting impression that
he leaves on All Black rugby, then it was a
pretty good one.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
The All Black schedule next year, seventeen games lined up,
and that's without the finals of this new competition they're doing.
They've got this tour to South Africa. They're getting to
play the Sharks Stormers, the Bulls and the Lions as well,
these what we're super avifranchises. So but that's a big
schedule for next season too. It's going to be a
big year. When you think about it, you can.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Understand why they're going to keep as much as they can.
They're going to keep the likes of the Sevy Reeses
on ice through next year. It's a huge buffet of
rugby and some massive sort of initiatives in terms of
this greatest rivalry aspect that they're promoting against greats to

(03:44):
the South Africa and you know, I guess the part
of the thing is going to be great to have
a tour to get their teeth stuck into, but it
will be a massive challenge in terms of the all
Black resources next year. So that'll probably be really interesting
to watch on and see how Scott Robertson and the
coaching management try and manage that. It's there's a lot

(04:08):
of Rugby Nations Cup, but by the same token, this
is a massive commercial imperative. Isn't here to try and
drive the branding and try and create as much commercial
revenue as they can.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
The Black Caps bowling stocks, they go from bad to worse.
Blair techna had a great debut use today but then
heard his shoulder sliding to save a ball. So once
again we're going to see the depth tested.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, it only feels like five minutes ago that we
were sort of raving about just how deep we were
in terms of New Zealand New Zealand seam attack. But
nowadays you sort of, I guess every time the phone rooms,
you're sort of having a lot to see. It might
be a New Zealand Cricket selector ring to see if
you're available or not. But yeah, it's been a it's

(04:53):
been a horror run players getting injured in these last
couple of games, and also players who were either being
rested or we're injured out before that. The locks of
your Cole Jamison's and your Willow Rocks, these sorts of guys.
So I don't know, I don't know if there's been
a time in recent memory where we've we've been in
a sort of injury stricken status, so particularly in that

(05:14):
in that one area of the game. So no surprise,
I guess, you know, after carrying such a heavy workload
in the second half of that that first test that
Jake Duffy and Zach folks aren't as penetrative as as
we'd like so far in this Test. I mean they
just bowled themselves into the ground in that first Test,
didn't they.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well, who's got plenty of time for practice? There would
be the England cricket team. Now they're under the fire,
under fire once again. They've gone up to NUSA of
all players for a few days of R and R
photos of them having a couple of quiets and playing
on the beach, which is understandable. You're on tilly, you've
been away for a month. You need to unwind. But
somebody came out of the great call yesterday saying Rinda McCallum,

(05:54):
the greatest, the greatest redemption for New Zealand cricket. As
far as payback, we're getting the twenty nineteen you fighting
at Lord's.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
It's I mean, it's a it's a it's a long
and an arduous tour, isn't it of Australia? And I
guess it just becomes longer and even more arduous when
you're two down. And I think there's only been one
team that's ever come back from that to win a series.
So pretty testing times. You have to imagine the likes

(06:25):
of the likes of Bears and probably some other guys
there potentially fighting for their for their playing and coaching careers.
But it's hard to see them really turning this ship around,
which must be pretty frustrating given it's I mean, it's
a handy it's a handy Australian team, but it's not
one of it. It's not one of the great Australian teams,

(06:46):
I don't think, but by any shape. But they just
I guess where they've got it is. They've got it
in the top the top two inches. They mentally they
are so much stronger than this English team and when
times get tough, there's definitely you definitely put your money
on the Aussies than the English.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, Mitchell stark less for Yannis so he lives in
the heads of Kiwi's rent free.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Now.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Just finally the tour of South and the dates for
this has been changed due.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
To the weather. We'd realize that it's happening in January.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yeah, interesting, So spent tour of Southend rescheduled from its
traditional time frame in the in the first week of November,
pushed out to mid Jen traffic. We're obviously still in
a state of emergency in November and yeah, so exciting
times for a mid gen week. It'll be a good field,

(07:37):
potentially even stronger than the field that we would have
had in November. Likes of Josh Burnette, two time winter
coming back to ride. He wouldn't have been here in November,
so great to have him on board. And slightly different
some course changes. Queen's Park not available, so moving out
to a white Kiwi area for the initial time trial

(08:01):
and also when the race gets back to town on
the following Saturday afternoons and Macargo also hosting the New
Zealand Criterium Championships on the same course the day before,
so bringing a whole lot of cycling down here in
the middle of January, and New Zealand's best writers will
be on display. So pretty exciting.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Absolutely nice.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Always appreciate your time, this chat one last time for
twenty twenty five next week. Always appreciate it sounds good.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Mate, Yes, laugh out loud with ag proud because life
on the land can be a laughing matter. Brought to
us by sheer Well Data working to help the livestock farmer.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Will you marry me as a marriage proposal.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Will you mary me as a proposal of a different
than youuendo? Well, you marry me as a time traveler
spoiling the future? Will you marry me as a cave
woman trying to make will?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
He has amnesia? Remember who he is? Something like that.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Anyway, that's us for the afternoon. I'm Andy Muller. This
has been the muster on Haka Nui. Many thanks to
Peter Jenelix. Enjoyed the afternoon podcast going up shortly, said
