It's been named World Cups coming up. 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 3: Starts at the start of October and their first game 7 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 3: is up against Australia on the same day that the 8 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 3: black Caps first game up against the Australia and their 9 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 3: T twenty series is on, so you can get to 10 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 3: watch that game and then you just turn the channel 11 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 3: over and then you get to watch the Ferns play brilliant, 12 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 3: play right the way through. The White Ferns play right 13 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 3: the way through and see how they go. Four players 14 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 3: have been dropped, but that means four new players have 15 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 3: come into the side. Are four debutants in there, which 16 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 3: is great news for them. And we'll be joined tonight 17 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 3: on nearby Eleata who who's also been selected. This will 18 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 3: be her fourth World Cup. I think that's impressive. Sezy 19 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 3: Bates and captain Sophie Devine a hitting number five. The 20 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 3: criticism always around the Ferns is what they are not 21 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 3: building enough depth that over the last few years under 22 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 3: Ben Sawyer, the coach. They've started bringing a lot of 23 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: young new players through, so they've got a lovely maxof 24 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 3: the veterans, which I think is still a polite thing 25 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 3: to say, isn't it. You got the mid ranges and 26 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 3: then you've got a lot of the youth, so it's 27 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 3: looking good. And of course they can't hide anymore because 28 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 3: of what they did at the T twenty World Cup. 29 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 3: Different format, different game, but everyone been looking over their 30 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 3: shoulder going oh on. And I remember talking to Leah 31 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 3: back and I want to say twenty twenty two when 32 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 3: she was not offered a central contract, and same with 33 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 3: her wife, Amy Sattathwaite. I'm sure if I married at 34 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: that stage. But I've got them both on air in 35 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: a couple of days of each other talking about it 36 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 3: and talk about thinly veiled rage. Leah was not happy 37 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: at all. Yeah, I said, look, can we come on 38 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 3: here and talk about it? And she goes, yeah, sure, 39 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 3: I'll talk about with you, Darce, and I was like, 40 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 3: this is fantastic. So got her on air and there 41 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 3: was no grayer about what she thought. 42 00:01:59,600 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: She's like. 43 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 3: But I deserve to be this team. I'm a very 44 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 3: good cricket player. I've been here for a long time. 45 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 3: No one takes my contract. Watch this, hold my beer. 46 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 3: She went away, she played fantastic domestic trickt she smashed 47 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 3: her way back into the team again, and here she 48 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 3: is going off to a fourth World Cup. I mean, 49 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, how good does. 50 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: This explain to me? 51 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 2: How you have a netballer who then switches to rugby. 52 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: Paris Locke do it? She's got a history because the 53 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 3: old man played for Tonga, I believe in rugby, and 54 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 3: the brother debuted last weekend for Wellington in the MPC. 55 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: So she's been talking with the Whitney Hansen. Steve Hansen says, 56 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 3: Steph Hanson's Daughter's been coaching Matatu in the Opicky competition. 57 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: Thinking she's been down there in christ Church. She played 58 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: for the Tachtics. They won a title. But she's got 59 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: something gnawing away at her and she wants to play rugby. 60 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: She goes, yeah, all right, I don't want to do this. 61 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 3: I mean, they talk about netbulls getting more and more physical. 62 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 3: You couldn't get much more physical than ruby. 63 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: Unlikely thing. I mean, like, I think we're used to 64 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: the idea that r players switched to rugby league and 65 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: even in a weird way. We used to kind of 66 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: the dual internationals with cricket and rugby, but the idea 67 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: of netball and rugby is just an unusual combo, isn't. 68 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 3: It brilliant athlete? And that's what it all comes down to, 69 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 3: isn't it a brilliant athlete, huge aerobic capacity, the ability 70 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 3: to compete at the top level. So good luck getting 71 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 3: tackled hard out in practice. But I suggest that she 72 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 3: did play back in her high school days, so it's 73 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: not completely foreign to her. It's cool and you make 74 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: good sense. It's normally a different way of doing it 75 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: as opposed to this, but I applaud it fantastic. 76 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: Right, Dars, Thank you for that.
