This week in the Niche Cache we start with a few rugby league notes with signing news and Pacific Championship stuff before celebrating Jackson Ball's rise to a starting role with Illawarra in the NBL. We break down another NZ Breakers loss and updated Steven Adams' start to the NBA season before going into the Wellington Phoenix and Auckland FC estuaries. Both teams had home wins over the weekend with kiwis like Corban Piper, Xuan Loke and Jesse Randell impressing. Football Ferns have been in action as well and Macey Fraser popped up in the Women's National League. The cool cats lead our Flying Kiwis round up this week with Marko Stamenic, Elijah Just and Matthew Garbett. Then we wrap up a stinky ODI World Cup for White Ferns, before talking through the best Blackcaps performers vs England in Daryl Mitchell, Matt Henry and Zak Foulkes. Ford Trophy started last weekend so we finish with plenty of domestic cricket including Henry Nicholls' centuries, seaming all-rounders and the best emerging talent for each team.
