Martin DevlinHOST
Unless you're a Wellington fan, uh, like me, it hasn't been that great.
Martin DevlinHOST
Uh, but out of the NPC, do you see any potential new All Blacks, uh, coming through that might play a part in either the Bledisloe Cup or this end-of-year tour incorporating the Nations Championship finals?
Ant StrachanGUEST
Well, the current NPC, mate, we're in nearly in October, and the World Cup's next year.
Ant StrachanGUEST
Uh, you know, most people would argue that the NPC layer's a lot lower than Super, and Super obviously a bit lower than international.

Martin DevlinHOST
Um, some awesome names, um, there.
Martin DevlinHOST
I'm feeling a little bit better about the, uh, the depth in New Zealand rugby after that [laughs] little chat.
Martin DevlinHOST
Uh, and thank you very much for your time once again, and we have the Bledisloe Cup coming up in a couple of weeks, so we'll probably chat with you closer to that one, mate.
Ant StrachanGUEST
All good, buddy.

It is 20 to 4, so Sir John Kirwan is hitting the road with the Bledisloe Cup as part of his Foundation Mighty's Drive for Five campaign, travelling the length of New Zealand to raise $5 million for youth mental health education.
Tyler AdamsHOST
And Sir John Kirwan is on the line right now.
Brian AshbyGUEST
Australia kind of threw all their money at the professional game and took it away from the grassroots around sort of that 2004, 5, 6 era.
Brian AshbyGUEST
John O'Neill, Eddie Jones sort of driving the ship there and gave the money to all the pros at the sharp end and the grassroots suffered and hence, you know, they've never won the Bledisloe Cup since.
Brian AshbyGUEST
Their game has had a lot of false starts since then.
Brian AshbyGUEST
New Zealand, we've kind of gone, we've ended up in a similar place, but more a death by a thousand cuts scenario by virtue of the neglect of the grassroots over a long extended period of time.
FinnPANELIST
Everyone was just fixated on the, uh, on the Grand Final.
FinnPANELIST
I think the Bledisloe Cup game was on at the same time.
FinnPANELIST
I was trying to find a bar to watch that.
FinnPANELIST
But, um, I was just thinking about how these events sort of partake i- in a lot of these competitions, AFL, NRL, Super Bowl, Champions League.

CraigHOST
Yeah, I'm kinda hoping the Aussies start to pick up.
CraigHOST
I actually hope the Aussies beat the Kiwis and the Bledisloe just for a bit of spice, man.
GreenyHOST
You know what? Is it...
GreenyHOST
Do you think it's a culture thing, like...
GelloHOST
I don't think Australia is that for us.
GelloHOST
Obviously, there will be a big crowd for the Bledisloe, no doubt.
GelloHOST
But I'm loving this chat.
GelloHOST
We're going to keep it going.
Steve LancasterGUEST
Crusaders sold out their last five home games.
Steve LancasterGUEST
We've sold out three All Black tests already this year, and we're gonna sell out the Bledisloe in a couple of weeks.
Steve LancasterGUEST
So, um, y- you know, we, our, our, our engagement, our viewership, our pr- our c- our product is in really good heart, and we think that's the perfect time to have a look at it.
Heather du Plessis-AllanHOST
But Super Rugby isn't making...
Henry LeeCORRESPONDENT
And to the NPC we go, as the boys have talked about, Tasman have moved their way up to sixth on the Hilux NPC table after their 45-26 victory over Bay of Plenty and Nelson last night.
Henry LeeCORRESPONDENT
The star-studded line-ups produced an entertaining and high-scoring game as a bunch of All Blacks tried to prove their case to Dave Rennie and the side before the Bledisloe Cup squad is named next week.
Henry LeeCORRESPONDENT
Shannon Frizzell scored in the eighth minute for Tasman.
Henry LeeCORRESPONDENT
While Noah Hotham, Kyron Tai-Moi Folau and Makis Springer also dotted down for the home side.
