- 0:00Speaker 1: Andrew Ordison here is with Sport this morning.
- 0:03Speaker 2: We're in Wimbledon, right we are, and it's been complete.
- 0:07Speaker 2: So Carlos al Kaath has denied a Jocovis. This is
- 0:10Speaker 2: alusive twenty fifth record breaking singles title. It's trying to,
- 0:15Speaker 2: I guess, beat Margaret cord who's got twenty four. So
- 0:20Speaker 2: alk Wrath winning in straight sets and just taking what
- 0:22Speaker 2: he took a third set tiebreak at seven to four,
- 0:24Speaker 2: but defending his crown at s W nineteen and just
- 0:28Speaker 2: in pretty convincing fashion. So he's really it's a bit
- 0:31Speaker 2: of a change in the guard, I suppose. But Jokovic
- 0:34Speaker 2: no answer this morning.
- 0:35Speaker 1: I'll tell you what wasn't convincing in fashion was the
- 0:37Speaker 1: all blacks win over end of the week.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Liking your seguey, Yes, I actually went and watched Digit
- 0:42Speaker 2: Park the blackout.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Yeah what did you think?
- 0:46Speaker 3: Oh?
- 0:47Speaker 2: I thought that it was likely that Boden Barrett came on. Yeah,
- 0:51Speaker 2: I wasn't an Eden Park. I had you feed up
- 0:53Speaker 2: in front of the fire at home, bit a pizza
- 0:55Speaker 2: and a couple of beers, and it was it was
- 0:57Speaker 2: most enjoyable. But yeah, it was some well it was
- 1:00Speaker 2: at least for the most, but it was very I
- 1:03Speaker 2: thought he was the difference really, I mean just they
- 1:05Speaker 2: needed that injection and that's really what players coming off
- 1:08Speaker 2: the bench and the impact that they can have will
- 1:11Speaker 2: do and what he's got Abo one hundred and twenty
- 1:12Speaker 2: five tests to his name, and he showed why he's
- 1:15Speaker 2: been one of the greats of the game for so long.
- 1:18Speaker 2: So yeah, it wasn't much between those two teams, and
- 1:20Speaker 2: that eden Park record was looking a bit dicey there
- 1:23Speaker 2: a particularly halftime once they scored that try and it
- 1:26Speaker 2: was what fourteen thirteen, it was all go. But yeah,
- 1:29Speaker 2: I mean I thought England did really well. Oh those
- 1:31Speaker 2: two tests they certainly parody for a large part against
- 1:34Speaker 2: the All Blacks and on police of Robertson as Weello's
- 1:37Speaker 2: new coach, just being able to come in and at
- 1:40Speaker 2: least to have those two wins to his name and
- 1:42Speaker 2: to not I guess have the added pressure of losing
- 1:45Speaker 2: an eden Park on the.
- 1:45Speaker 1: First time in thirty year that it would be it'd
- 1:48Speaker 1: have been a terrible but be awkward right very quickly
- 1:51Speaker 1: because England and Spain the euro Football Champs at seven am.
- 1:54Speaker 1: That kicks off, doesn't it this morning? Yeah, just very quickly.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Who's going to win?
- 1:59Speaker 2: Well, look, I think Spain will win. I've been really
- 2:03Speaker 2: impret well yeah, i think I've played quite well as
- 2:05Speaker 2: the team. I think the key step for me was
- 2:06Speaker 2: I think thirteen goals so far in the tournament, but
- 2:09Speaker 2: nine players have scored them that they're working along those lines.
- 2:12Speaker 2: But I mean the romantic angle will be that England
- 2:14Speaker 2: take it out and when they're first, you know, what
- 2:17Speaker 2: was it coming home or whatever with the title after
- 2:19Speaker 2: the morning in nineteen sixty six for the World Cup.
- 2:22Speaker 2: But PEPs they can take the Euros as well now
- 2:24Speaker 2: just to modify that.
