The 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup is coming to a close this week, with reigning World Champions the Black Ferns on track to defend their title. As the final approaches, New Zealand media personalities How To Dad and Tegan Yorwarth have reignited conversations around the disappointing lack of coverage of the tournament, and wider women's sport in general, by NZ media. Concerns are running high as media attention on the sport remains relatively absent despite the growing successes of our wāhine.  Producer Jasmine Gray spoke to Toni Bruce, Professor of Sociology of Sport and Sports Media at Waipapa Taumata Rau, about the issue ahead of the Black Ferns semi-final against Canada this Saturday.

Will Genia was one of Australia's greatest scrumhalves, finishing his career as the seventh most capped Wallaby of all time with 110 Tests across his ten-year international career. Now he is helping good mate Quade Cooper in a coaching role in Japanese rugby.The former Wallabies scrumhalf joins Christy Doran and Matt To'omua to discuss the Aussies on top of the Rugby Championship despite the Argentina loss, THAT controversial forward pass that could have huge ramifications on the competition, as well as a technical breakdown of Australia's halves situation and James O'Connor's role in the side - and most importantly, what are Australia's Bledisloe chances amid NZ's form?Hosts: Christy Doran & Matt To'omua Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the show, Jamie and Stu discuss India v Pakistan at the Asia Cup, the white-ball series between South Africa & England, NZ A's tour to South Africa and the NZC casual contracts that leave the Black Caps with some tough decisions in the build up to the T20 World Cup. We start the show by talking about India's dominant performance against Pakistan in the Asia Cup group stage. We talk about India's depth and the balance that their two brilliant allrounders - Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel - provide, as well as the impressive contributions of the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav. Saim Ayub's bowling was a bright spot for Pakistan in what was otherwise a tough day at the office for Mike Hesson's side. Next we move to the final stages of the English home summer to discuss a damp end to the white-ball series against South Africa, which saw a return to form for England's batters in between the rain. After scores of 400 in an ODI then 300 in a T20, it wasn't hard to hand out praise, with Phil Salt and Jacob Bethell in particular our topics of conversation. We also look back at a full international summer from Jofra Archer and try to make sense of a very full domestic calendar. We round out the show with a Black Caps focus - first a NZ A performance against South Africa which put the likes of Rhys Mariu, Dale Phillips, Curtis Heaphy, Adi Ashok and Matt Fisher in the spotlight, before running through NZ Cricket's decision to hand out five casual contracts to Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, Lockie Ferguson, Devon Conway and Kane Williamson. Does Kane's inclusion mean we might see him at the T20 World Cup? And did you realise the NZ home international summer is only two weeks away? Finally, we mention Gary Stead's new gig in the Ranji Trophy, and shout out Leicestershire for gaining promotion in the County Championship.
