That’s Robbie Williams if you buy into his freshly released movie bio - ‘Better Man’. Williams penned the 1997 hit “Let Me Entertain You” which really is the theme song of the Australian Open. The movie was shot in Melbourne, brought a ton of money into the local economy and promptly flopped. The Open, shot in Melbourne, brought a ton of money into the local economy and has been a raging success.   Entertained? Hell yes.    The time zone is almost perfect for the New Zealand audience and the quality of the exchanges, with the blistering back stories, the crowd’s chimpanzee tea party schtick, and the on-court post-match interview baboonery has provided top-notch entertainment from the get-go.   The Kiwi involvement staggered at the pointed end of the doubles but gave us some bodies to cheer for in between popcorning our way through some remarkable tennis and some questionable off-court behaviour.    The post-match interview techniques left little to be desired, with the microphone monkeys failing to grasp their role —they are conduits between the players and the fans— no-one is there for their hot-take indulgence, ask some game relevant questions and crawl back into your cage. The backwash at least gave us something to muse over in between games.    The fan behaviour wasn’t much better, hitting a crescendo when the simians in the cheap seats booed Novak Djokovic for succumbing to injury. Classless to the end, but again an issue to keep us talking.   Then the tennis. We’ve been treated to some superb matches in the men's and women's draws on the way to two finals which should cap off the fortnight in some style. Three of the top for seeds have belted their way to the last dance, Madison Keys being the outlier, a player I expect the Ocker crowd to light up for, being such vocal fans of the underdog.    Sinner or Zverev, Sabalenka or Keys? It matters not, what I do know is that I’ll be entertained until the end, for that I am grateful.  Fri, 24 Jan 2025 20:48:19 Z /on-air/the-all-sport-breakfast/audio/kevin-hare-heartland-rugby-expert-previews-the-semi-finals/ /on-air/the-all-sport-breakfast/audio/kevin-hare-heartland-rugby-expert-previews-the-semi-finals/ Our resident Heartland rugby expert Kevin Hare joined the show to preview the Semi-Final action from the 'Peoples Rugby' competition.  The top four sides battle it out in the Meads Cup section of the draw, while the midtable sides playoff for the Lochore Cup.   LISTEN ABOVE  Sat, 12 Oct 2024 01:46:47 Z /on-air/the-all-sport-breakfast/audio/jim-dolan-australian-correspondent-on-the-rabbits-green-and-gold-colours-in-town-and-afternoon-rugby/ /on-air/the-all-sport-breakfast/audio/jim-dolan-australian-correspondent-on-the-rabbits-green-and-gold-colours-in-town-and-afternoon-rugby/ Jim Dolan - Our Australian Correspondent, gives us the latest from the wonderful wide world of Aussie sport.

New Zealand's crew won the preliminary men's eight race against Romania, China, and Italy, and needed to finish in the top two of last night's final to secure Olympic selection. Originally scheduled to be held last Monday (NZT), the final was brought forward after bad weather was forecasted in Lucerne. One of the crew's rowers Phillip Wilson told Adam Cooper on the All Sports Breakfast it was an odd experience with racing brought forward due to bad weather, as well as Covid-related measures. "It all made sense, the weather forecast wasn't great, it would have been pretty unfair racing. We shifted the mindset and got in the right frame of mind," he says. "Our reserves and our coaches were saying 'you're racing tomorrow you're racing tomorrow', and so that was like 'oh wow, okay'." The eight will return home to MIQ, and potentially rowing on ergs in their hotel rooms. Their qualification means nine New Zealand crews will be contesting at the Olympic Games.

The Storm are into the NRL grand final after a big win over the Raiders in the preliminary finals. They will face either the Penrith Panthers and South Sydney Rabbitohs, who compete in the second qualifier tonight, in the decider on October 25. Tomorrow the greatest race in Australian motorsport is taking place at Mount Panorama with the Bathurst 1000. For a little under two hours it will overlap with the second Bledisloe Cup test between the All Blacks and Wallabies.

The winner will face the Melbourne Storm on October 25 in the decider, who were sensational in the first preliminary final of the weekend against the Canberra Raiders. Frank Endacott told D'Arcy Waldegrave the success of the Panthers, who are on a 16-game winning run, is not down to luck. "They're doing everything right, I think they're going to miss their big back-rower Viliame Kikau. "I think at home you have to go with Penrith, but I wouldn't count Souths at all." Kick-off between the Panthers and Rabbitohs is at 9:50pm.
