  Speaker 1: Andrew Ordison, Good morning to you.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Greetings Andrew.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: So I went to bed obviously, we get up early
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and the Warriors scrape home twenty six to twenty four,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: not pretty, not decisive, but three in a row. Look,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I actually tune I should have been in bed, but
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I kept watching. Well that's for my job, is it
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: for my sins? But I really enjoyed it. Actually, I
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: thought it was gritty towards the end there and they
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: kept the pressure on the Warriors and the final standard
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: is really from what I could see, I was a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: little bit dealt with the try Loqua Helasiema, who scored
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the decisive try that took them to equal what level
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: was at twenty four all they eventually won twenty six
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: twenty four. Bt Helasima about fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes, fifteen
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: meters out from the line puts his finger to his
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: lips and it gives.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: It thinking, get the.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Ball down, son, hit the ball down.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Or at least get close to the sticks, as Luke
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Metcalf pointed out afterwards. So I thought that was yeah,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: he got there. That's the main thing in the two point.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Secure three a row, three in a row. But they've
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: got outside back problems, haven't they, that's for sure.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's so yeah, it's difficulties in that regard,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: but none the less, I think they'll take that against
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: West Tigers.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: There was one game so good that I watched it
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: twice because there was a replay on Sunday and that's
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Maina Pacifica destroying the Crusaders. And as I saw in
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: some of the headlines, if they play like that, there
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: they are a challenge.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Oh this is what's so breaking and easy? And isn't
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: it seeing Maana Pacifica deliver in that regard. I mean
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: we've seeing the Drawer do it in the past as well,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: but that's the second one of the season, Moana and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: doing it against the Crusaders there at home, that's a
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: remarkable feat.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, forget, forget what they did against the Chiefs
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: last week. Yeah yeah, yeah, they were yeah up there,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: very good side.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And this is I suppose we're the likes of well
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: obviously to among about Arlie Savia coming into the mix there,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I think the leadership that he would bring uh in,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I guess the mana et cetera, I think is outstanding.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And that's that's exactly what the competition needs.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And we've got some sport happening as we speak. This
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: is starting one one minute after six, Ryan Fox file
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: round to be precise. Yeah, he'll tea off at the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Houston Open, and yeah, there mean the significance of this
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: is that if Fox is to win, I think, I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: mean win preferably, but if he's I think maybe even
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in the top Max still would take some mechinations, but
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: he would get or go up the rankings enough to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: get into the Master's field.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: So it's significant that regard. Yeah, yeah, I mean there's
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: only been eight New Zealanders to win on the PGA
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Tour over the course of history, and Fox hoping to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: become a Knight.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: It's a fascinating for you, Bob.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Charles has won six times, but there's seven. There's no
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: seven others as well. Yeah, Yeah, Orderson on Sport and
• 2:40
