I know that Whanganui have been really strong at the heartland for a very long time now.

Mark StaffordHOST
We'll have to do some Heartland Rugby and I think it's a good time to do it now.
Mark StaffordHOST
Let's bring a voice that we heard from about a month ago pre-season of the Heartland Championship, and we're rocking and rolling with four games down.
Mark StaffordHOST
The pack's starting to divide, but Donnie Bell, our voice of Heartland Rugby, welcome in, good man.
Mark StaffordHOST
Great to be back.
Donny BellGUEST
So very privileged to be able to do that.
Donny BellGUEST
They have had some fantastic battles over the last few years.
Donny BellGUEST
Two massive heavyweights in the Heartland Championships.
Donny BellGUEST
And I can't wait to see them go toe-to-toe.
Owen JacksonHOST
Well, one was a highlight, one maybe not so much that you might just need to know about.
Owen JacksonHOST
And we won't need to talk too much about Heartland Rugby as Jeremy Sutherland, also known as Mr Rugby, is along as our guest on Man on the Land.
Owen JacksonHOST
And I've every confidence that he will no doubt discuss that.
Owen JacksonHOST
Plus, he is of rural stock, I'll have you know.
15 MINS LATER
Owen JacksonHOST
And I'm sure that in the team photo I saw Matt Chambers, he's still the goalkeeper.
Owen JacksonHOST
The guy is ageless.
Owen JacksonHOST
South Canterbury has tumbled from first to sixth on the Heartland Rugby Championship table after what was a horror display against King Country on Saturday.
Owen JacksonHOST
The Green and Blacks after huge wins over East Coast and West Coast and then Buller.
Scotty StevensonHOST
Yeah, she's a hard slog out there.
Scotty StevensonHOST
It's been a high-scoring affair too, this Heartland Championship, hasn't it? But a good win for you blokes over Buller.
Scotty StevensonHOST
Last up, mate, 43-35.
Scotty StevensonHOST
That Buller team has certainly improved since their debut outing this season.
Scotty StevensonHOST
They're coming off a pretty heavy loss to King Country last week, mate, so they'll be smarting.
Adam WilliamsonGUEST
Yeah, yeah.
Adam WilliamsonGUEST
I mean, the talk of the rugby's greatest rivalry, well, this is Heartland's greatest rivalry, I suppose, mid-verse south.
Adam WilliamsonGUEST
Yeah, last week we saw a couple of upsets in everyone's mind with King Country putting an absolute clinic over South Canterbury.
Donny BellGUEST
They have had some fantastic battles over the last few years.
Donny BellGUEST
Two massive heavyweights in the Heartland Championship and I can't wait to see them go toe-to-toe.
Donny BellGUEST
Both have incredibly good forward packs.
Donny BellGUEST
outstanding ball runners, game drivers, and this will be super electric.
Mark StaffordHOST
I'm picking it's going to be about a six-hour bus drive for the King Country team to head down to the might of Masterton, King Country top of the table, and they go in as favourites.
Donny BellGUEST
It's incredible how far these teams travel.
Donny BellGUEST
Honestly, some of these teams are getting home at midnight on Saturdays for the love of the Hilux Heartland Championship, and you wouldn't want it any other way.
Donny BellGUEST
This game will be an absolute bell ringer.
Scotty StevensonHOST
Yeah, she's a hard slog out there.
Scotty StevensonHOST
It's been a high-scoring affair too, this Heartland Championship, hasn't it? But a good win for you blokes over Buller.
Scotty StevensonHOST
Last up, mate, 43-35.
Scotty StevensonHOST

StephHOST
Um, a mixture really.
StephHOST
We've got the great Donny Bell on, talking about the Heartland Championship.

We're four games down.
StephHOST
Interestingly, uh, the top six teams are separated by two competition points.
