This week on the Niche Cast we touch on NZ Breakers being at the top of the NBL ladder and then we react to the Blackcaps Test series sweep in India. We discuss New Zealand's team contributions, fitness, the end of the golden generation and plenty more kiwi cricket including some Ford Trophy notes. Auckland FC defeated Wellington Phoenix in the Aotearoa A-League derby so we break it all down, from Alex Paulsen's defensive influence to the young Phoenix building. Then we roll through Flying Kiwis updates about Milly Clegg, Chris Wood, Katie Kitching, Michaela Foster and Tyler Bindon, before chatting about Tonga's experience, the young Kiwis, and the joys of international rugby league. And we polish things off with the sneaky signing of Tanah Boyd for NZ Warriors.
