In this pod we’re joined by Nat Hurst to talk about the Trans-Tasman Throwdown, the Tall Ferns and the future of New Zealand women’s basketball.

Alongside Coach Nat, dynamic Kiwi hoops duo Linden Moore and Maia Williamson are front and centre for this pod as they discuss players, the games and how a young Tall Ferns squad faced the No.2 in the world - the Opals!

But there’s more to this pod than just the Trans-Tasman series. We get into the culture of the team and how the team is setting itself up for the future.

In STB’s 200th podcast we celebrate and hype the upcoming Trans-Tasman Throwdown showcasing the rising talent across the pacific in Australia & Aotearoa.

A great opportunity for the Opals & Tall Ferns squads to play together and against each other on the international stage ahead of Asia Cup in July in China. Also a chance to build chemistry and much needed game time for the up and coming talent that will feature many new faces throughout the tournament.

The Trans Tasman Throwdown begins 7 May in a 3-game series in Adelaide, Sunshine Coast and Hamilton, NZ.
