What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is a podcast from Rover. From DSBN Rugby, he joins us, Jamie Wall. G'day, mate. Hey, Jamie. Ahead of two huge semifinals, Super Rugby. Tonight, Jamie, Chiefs Crusaders Saturday. Well, you'll be for the Hurricanes. You're a Wellington. You went to school with Bryston, yeah?
What insights does Jamie Wall provide about the Super Rugby finals?
I did.
Yeah, how was that? Oh, it was great. He used to beat me up in school. Oh, I did. Did you? And he absolutely stank of weed.
Hey, he's only telling some truths. I was never mean to Jamie at school. He wasn't mean to anybody. Were you a couple of years younger?
I was a year below you.
So I know a lot of terrible people that you're friends with.
Absolutely, yeah. All the skaters and stoners who played rugby with.
We had the same rugby coach at different years, I do believe, Mr. Farland. Mr. Farland, RIP. RIP, the great Mr. Farland, one of the great characters, just to start this chat as we talk of rugby, of New Zealand rugby, where it's led you to have a career in it, obviously. But for those who don't know Mr. Farland, what a legend of Wellington College he was. My very first moment in memory of Wellington College, because I turned up in like sort of halfway through college, I moved from Auckland, was him with a Harley Davidson at the back of assembly, roaring it up. revving up. This old man at that time seemed in his 70s or 80s even then, getting ready for McKevity.
Yeah, in a bumblebee suit. And then got up on the stage and proceeded to throw carrots at guys dressed as Smurfs. So if anyone from St. Pat's is listening, you can't do that anymore.
But he was a rugby coach who would allow the students to have a good time is what we'll say.
I would say that. I mean, you know, it's a long time ago now, but yes, the keg party at Mr. Farland's house at the end of the year for us 15 and 16-year-olds is a great introduction to that whole culture.
A different time. Great having you on, Jamie. Thanks, mate. So yeah, you are a good old rugby tragic as well, and now you've made a career out of it. So for those who don't know, what do you do, bro?
I'm currently... producing the DSPN Rugby show. Yes. We call it a podcast. It's more of a sort of a YouTube show as well. It's going really well. It is. Upstairs. And, yeah, with Martin Devlin up there. And we are getting ready to cover what is going to be a massive season for the All Blacks. Yes. Heading away to all their test matches. Heading over to South Africa for seven weeks, which is going to be pretty cool.
You're going for seven weeks, aren't you?
I am, yeah. You guys going to give me a call? Yeah, man.
Absolutely. You've been an author as well, and you've written about this as well. Obviously massive for us, new coaching group, all that. Quick hot take. How do you think we will do? Four tests and four other games. Quick snapshot. How many tests do we win in South Africa, do you think?
I'm going to say it's going to be 3-1 to the All Blacks. I'm just going to put it out there. I think it's time to tap into that energy of 30 years ago. Yeah. 1996, it's a tour that evokes really, really strong memories. I reckon the All Blacks can do it again. Every time I see the highlights of that, every time I think about it, every time I read about it, I just get overwhelmed by, like, that is the All Blacks' finest hour. That is the greatest thing the All Blacks have ever done. Don't get me wrong, like, World Cups, Blazer Cups, everything, that's all great. But if you know the history and you know the fact that the All Blacks only ever got to go there, like, once every 20 years.
Yeah.
And that that was on, like everything was on the line. You see the emotion at the end with Fitzy pounding the ground and things like that. And the guys just actually out on their feet. Absolutely iconic. And I like to think that that is going to spur the Olympics on this year.
Their own team members who couldn't play in the stands doing haka for their own members. Andrew Bowles, I remember he was in there doing it. All that group. That's an iconic team for me as well. You're going to go. The fourth test is in Baltimore. That's an egregious revenue grab, but I appreciate that.
