The Usos from the WesWes Network, Stace and Roger, discuss the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season and the bottom 5 teams that didn't make the playoffs, including Moana Pasifika and their inspirational leader, Ardie Savea. Then, the boys preview the Top Six Playoffs and discuss each game, as well as who they think will emerge as champions.
Ardie Savea isn't expecting a very warm welcome on his return to Wellington. The Moana skipper returns to the capital for the first time since leaving his franchise of ten years. Sports reporter Jonty Dine spoke to Lisa Owen.
This week in the Niche Cache we reflect on a fun weekend of New Zealand sports that featured a bunch of away wins. After a quick hot take about Ardie Savea we ponder Steven Adams' free agency and check in with the latest Indian Panthers drama, before updating the NZ NBL where Hayden Jones is shining for Nelson Giants. Jones is part of the NZ Under 19 team which is full of fantastic kiwi youngsters and deserves some spotlight as well, which is the same for the NZ Warriors development pipeline. Tanner Stowers-Smith is the latest youngster to make his debut during the win vs Dolphins and there is a clear connection between the youngsters at Mt Smart and a NSW Cup team that can't stop winning. We touch on a few more Warriors details like key trios, wrestling and Jacob Laban/Leka Halasima development before rolling through the latest NRLW signing news where Bulldogs have lots of wahine from Aotearoa. We discuss Chris Wood, Marko Stamenic and Elijah Just activities then we dive into the Auckland FC win vs Melbourne Victory and the hype around their return leg in Auckland for a bumper weekend at Mt Smart. We finish with a net session updating County Championship cricket and the sneaky epic NZ-A win in Bangladesh.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/elnichecacheNewsletter: https://thenichecache.substack.comHook us up with a brew: https://buymeacoffee.com/thenichecacheSay kia ora: thenichecache@gmail.comwww.theniche-cache.com(00:00) Intro(19:27) Mindfulness(21:18) Steven Adams(27:52) NBL/NZ U19(43:07) NZ Warriors(01:16:26) NRLW(01:22:39) Chris Wood/Marko Stamenic/Elijah Just(01:35:00) Auckland FC(01:55:37) NZ-A win in Bangladesh

The Scott Robertson All Blacks Era has officially begun. Yesterday saw him announce his first squad, with Scott Barrett taking the captaincy and Ardie Savea and Jodie Barrett filling the role of deputies. Robertson told Mike Hosking that it was good to get on with it as they've been tracking the players for a long time, so it felt to goof to finalise the squad and put it out there. He's not yet sure how different his era of the All Blacks is going to be, but a big part of what he'd like to do is bring a bit more insight and connection to who they are and how they do things to the public. “A big part of what I have to do is bring the past and legacy with us, so that's what you'll see off the field, but on the field a team that can adapt, play different ways, play the team in front of us to be connected and find ways to win.” “You know, good Kiwi DNA, find ways to be connected and find ways to win.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
