Studs Up! Football World Cup Mini Pod | 26/6/26

Football is all about rivalries and we have a big one right on our doorstep - Auckland FC and Wellington Phoenix – and Sport Nation wants to plug you right into it!
Studs Up is a podcast hosted by Auckland born and bred Riccardo Ball and Wellington’s loudest son Daniel McHardy.
They’ll be going head-to-head on all the big football issues from the EPL, Champions League, the A Leagues and more.
And if the Auckland v Wellington connection wasn’t enough, did we mention their English club allegiances? That’s right, it’s Manchester United against Liverpool.
There will be tears, beers, and lost bets, but neither will hold back - they’ll go in Studs Up!
