Simon Doull is MIA on The Country Early Edition this week as illustrated by this professionally doctored photo.

Every morning on The Country Early Edition Dom George catches up with the foremost authorities on sport, the Crowd Goes Wild Breakfast team Andrew Mulligan and Simon Doull.

Mulligan has returned from an Olympic junket and Doull is in absentia as he is in South Africa on a cricket junket. At least they have consistency.

This week's topics include the Warriors post-mortem and how long should we pick over the bones of their performance, the Otago/Wellington Mitre 10 cup clash, Mark Watto's Watson's "hot takes" (don't ask) and how dry the cleaning wipes are in the studio.

Don't worry; they eventually get back to more sport.

Have a listen to the full interview in the Soundcloud embed below:
