Chapter 1: 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?
Chapter 2: 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.

Chapter 3: What are Jamie Wall's thoughts on the All Blacks test team selection?
No, they never pinned that on him.
Oh, right, right, right. He's never found a guy.
Yeah, but this was in 1996, so the All Blacks didn't try and return... I said this wasn't even in the 50s. This was in 96. They didn't try and return serve by selecting David Bain in the...
but yeah it was a different time but I don't think anyone with the criminal records okay quick question if we were to play David Bain where would he play I'm thinking a rangy six no I'm gonna say open side and you know why because he's good at killing the first one at the breakdown fantastic at the breakdown So, all-black squads are going to be named soon. Any bolters that you can see.
Because I've been talking to different people and they'll have... Some people, you know, only a squad of 34, I think, for this initial test series. But some people are saying there's no Simon Parker. Some people are saying there's no Duplissie Karifi. These players that were in the squads last year, like...
Who misses out? Well, I'm glad you asked, and you can catch up with all our Boulder chat on DSPN Rugby because we had a great... Yeah, good plug there. Had a great chat the other day about this. A few names I'm going to throw out of here, all right? Okay. Just out of the blue that got brought up the other day, Lucas Casey out of the Highlanders. Yeah, he's my nephew. Is he? Yeah. Wow. Oh, yeah.
I never put that together.

Chapter 4: How does Jamie Wall view the upcoming All Blacks tour to South Africa?
Yeah, he's having great – I don't know if I'd call him an absolute bolter because he's been talked up ever since he made that big debut season last year for Otago. But, yeah, I mean, he's – I guess the bolter element of him is that he's coming into a very, very crowded loose forward group. Another name that got brought up the other day, John Day. John Day's going to make it. Yeah.
Sorry, John Day brought it up. He used to be on our show. He's calling himself in chat. Who did John Day say? He is picking Isaac Hutchinson. The Chiefs guys come, timed his run to perfection at this time of the year from the Chiefs. What position is he? Fullback for the Chiefs.
Scored a cracking try the other week off that ball from John Day.
Yeah, really taking his chance really well. I think another name I'd put out there, probably Callum Harkin from the Canes. Josh Morby? Josh Morby. I don't know if Josh Morby would be an absolute bolter, though. He's a guy who I remember he was in my All Black conversation back before he'd taken that stint overseas. So he's certainly a guy who does nothing wrong.
He's got kind of a Ben Smith kind of vibe about him.
What about crowded midfield when you've got Proctors and Quintipia playing so well? Obviously, Geordie, your classics. What about someone like David Harvely, who's been in cracking form for the Satyrs, former All Black? Does he make it?
Yeah, well, we had another conversation where it was brought up that he may well end up being the midweek captain for the All Blacks. I don't hate that idea. You're going to need people with lots of experience for these midweek games, guys who may not be in the test side. Because you've got to remember, like,
They're taking two whole squads, and then there's going to be a really high attrition rate. So they're taking 44 guys initially. That's going to get up over 50 by the end of this.
A few guys on brewery tours that just happened to be there, like Mike Brewer. Remember that? Oh, Mike Brewer just happened to be in the country.

Chapter 5: What are the potential bolters for the All Blacks squad?
I don't think there's going to be a lot of tries scored. It's going to be pretty similar to last year's final where I think there was only one try scored. because this is where the Crusaders can tap into all of their experience and go, we know exactly what we need to do to win a game. We don't care whether it's ugly or anything like that.
And so I'm picking the Crusaders in a very, very tight way. And then Mitch is also picking the Crusaders to host the final.
Aren't you, Mitch? No. Of course.
Well, do you know why? Because I've got a stat that you guys might enjoy as well. Wellington is the only place, the Crusaders, in New Zealand where the Crusaders have not won a Super Rugby final. So they're clearly scared.
Is that because we... If we knock them down. If we knock them down. I want to hear it. Jamie Wall. Yeah, thank you all. Thanks, mate. A Crusaders-Canes final. Canes, baby. He's picked it. There you go. Thanks, mate. Thanks, bro. Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
