The Country: West Coast cow cocky Andy Thompson has a crack at a wayward Radio Sport host, goes in to bat for referees and encourages punters to eat Westland Dairy Products butter.

The Country's Jamie Mackay and Dom George caught up with West Coast cow cocky Andy Thompson for an update on what's going on in his world.

First things first - Thompson has a crack at a certain wayward Radio Sport host who shall remain nameless (Martin Devlin) for casting dispersions on Andy's dairy farming prowess.

After Andy gives Devlin a serve he goes in to bat for referees, which incenses The Country producer Dom George. Dom has a long-time festering hatred for referees, yet Jamie and Andy think they are admirable human beings.

Following Dom's vitriolic anti-ref rant, Jamie manages to steer the interview back to matters of dairy and gives Andy Thompson the floor to talk about the latest GDT result and to encourage punters to eat Westland Dairy Products butter.

Have a listen to the full interview in the audio clip above.
