Let's 35 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: take a look around the grounds in climbing Iranium. Climber 36 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: el Naz Raccabi, who competed last week in the Asian 37 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: Championships in South Korea, has become a symbol for the 38 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: thousands of women in Iran protesting the death in custody 39 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: on sixteenth of September of twenty two year old Marsa Amini. 40 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: Amini was detained by the country's Morality police over her 41 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: clothing and her death has led to women removing their 42 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: mandatory hijabs in public. Raccabi competed without a head scarf 43 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: and later claimed that her not wearing a hijab was unintentional. 44 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: When she returned to Tehran, she was met by large 45 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: crowds of supporters. Upon arrival, she met with the Iranian 46 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: sports Minister and was reportedly forced to apologize and insist 47 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: that she competed without avail by accident, not as a 48 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: political gesture against the government of the Islamic Republic. Further 49 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: sources claim that Riccabi had been threatened with the seizure 50 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: of one hundred men in reals thank you. I was like, 51 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: one hundred meters doesn't sound right in my sports. 52 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: Brain right now for two hundred and seventy six pounds. 53 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: Thank you worth of her family's property unless she may 54 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: the forced confession. Since that appearance, it is believed that the 55 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: climber has been placed under house arrest and denied access 56 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: to a phone. There are genuine fears for her safety 57 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: as friends have been unable to contact her and over 58 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: the weekend and New York based Humans Right, a New 59 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: York based human rights group, called on the International Federation 60 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: of Sport climbing to do more to protect her. The 61 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: Center for Human Rights in Iran encouraged the IFSC to 62 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: engage with rights organizations to protect pro climber el Na's 63 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: Recabi and all Iranian athletes. Don't take the government in 64 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: Iran's word at face value. It has a documented history 65 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: of detaining, maiming and killing those who oppose it. 66 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: Pretty heavy stuff. It's full on, isn't it. Yeah, and 67 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: really concerning because I watched when I was doing the 68 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: research and whatnot. I did. I watch the footage of 69 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: her so called apology. It didn't look comfortable at all. 70 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: It's just it's a bit of a scary situation. 71 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: Very worry in AFLW. Not so worrying. Great, it's gonna 72 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: be exciting. One more round to go before finals and 73 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: the two teams at the top of the ladder are 74 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: looking booty formidable. First place Brisbane Lions thrashed Hawthorne on 75 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: Saturday after dominating the match from the very start. The 76 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: final score of nine goals seven sixty one to one 77 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 2: goal one seven cemented their position at the top of 78 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: the AFLW ladder. Stand. Outside lines were Ali Anderson, who 79 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: registered a career high thirty possessions and Emily Bates who 80 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: is just always good. 81 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: She's always good for she just training best and Faires. 82 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: Notched another twenty two possessions of her own. Jesse Wardlow 83 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 2: stretched the lead as the league's leading goalkicker with three 84 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: more snags. Yeah, three more snags, and she said after 85 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 2: the game, I think having my teammates give me so 86 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: much confidence they back imitate those marks and kick the 87 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: goals has let me grow in confidence a year after year. 88 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: The second place Demons were just as clinical on Sunday 89 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 2: night when they took care of another expansion team, beating 90 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 2: Essendon seven goals eight fifty to one goal three nine. 91 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 2: Karen Paxman another one. She's having a good year. 92 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: Underrated Karen Paxman. 93 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, influential in the middle of the massing twenty four 94 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: disposals and Kate Hall kicked three snags herself. It was 95 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: Melbourne's fifth winner row and keeps them within touching distance 96 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: of the Lions. The two table tops are only separated 97 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: by percentage and the Demons play third last placed West 98 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: Coast on Saturday. The big win might be enough for 99 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: Melbourne to overtake the Lions, who hosts fifth place Collingwood 100 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: on Friday night, so big win from the d's percentage 101 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: boost and maybe the Lions don't whack the Pyres. These 102 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: could finish minor premiers. The minor Premiership is not the 103 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: only thing up for grabs in the last round, with 104 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: the Gold Coast Suns one win out of the eight. 105 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 2: They we need a big win over the Jerwish Giants 106 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: who are coming fourth last No. 107 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: Six last. 108 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: Thanks you very much for you on Sunday, and hope 109 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: that carln can upset the Western Bulldogs in their final 110 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: match that would sneak the Suns into the eight. In 111 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: a huge result for the North Melbourne Kangers, they kept 112 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 2: their top four hopes alive with a strong win over 113 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: Collingwood nine goals through fifty seven to four goals one 114 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: twenty five. The thirty two point defeat meant the Richmond 115 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: Tigers replaced Collingwood in the top four at the end 116 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 2: of round nine, but the Kangers have their eyes on 117 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 2: that spot and a double chance in the finals. It 118 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: was a hectic second term that had in North Melbourne 119 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 2: lead and they scored an amazing five goals in sixteen minutes, 120 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: resulting in a twenty five point lead at the main break. 121 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: That lead was never under pressure, with North's Jazz Gana 122 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: dominant inside, registering twenty six disposals and four clearances. 123 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: In soccer, the draw for the twenty twenty three feet 124 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: for World Cup was held on Saturday in Auckland and 125 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: the Matildas have landed in Group B alongside Ireland, Canada 126 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: and Nigeria. Canada are ranked seventh in the world and 127 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 1: they are the raiding Olympic champions and recently beat Matildas 128 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: in back to back games. Ireland are ranked twenty fourth 129 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: in the world and beat the Matildas last year, while 130 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: Nigeria are forty fifth in the world, with the Matilda's 131 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: last facing them in the twenty fifteen World Cup. The 132 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: Aussies were two nil winners in twenty fifteen and we'll 133 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: be hoping for a repeat of that result next year. 134 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Head coach Tony Gustav's and said afterwards, I'm really exciting. 135 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: I've been texting with my coaching staff and analysts already 136 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: saying hey, let's start preparing and planning. We just want 137 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: to get on with it now. We know what we're facing, 138 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: we know what the opening game looks like. Now it's 139 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: all about preparation. There's been some talk around the pool 140 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: being one of the more difficult and while Gustavson acknowledged that, 141 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: he also noted that if you look at the bracket 142 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: and you look at the tournament, there's no easy games 143 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: in this tournament. It's all about knowing how you're facing 144 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: and preparing the best way possible. I want to discuss 145 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: this because there was a lot of talk about it 146 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: being the pool of death. 147 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: Can we talk about the pool of death thing? 148 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: Oh? I'm so glad. Do you want to? Because it 149 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: drives me insane? 150 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: Okay? 151 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: For context, From what I understand, the way it was drawn, 152 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: they almost got the highest team in each of the 153 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: brackets that they could draw from. That's why they're calling 154 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: the Pool of death. Right, let's do a bingo of 155 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: most hated phrases in sport. Death has to be out there, 156 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: lilister of that's a good one. A game of two 157 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: halves two hours. 158 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: There are sometimes that's accurate. 159 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: It's stupid. 160 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: It is stupid. Credit to the boys, Credit to the boys. 161 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: All of those cliches. The pool of death thing, though, 162 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: and you've nailed it like that's well, none of those 163 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: pools are easy. All those teams are quality teams and 164 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: you know, after we'll get to it. But after the 165 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: Wallaro's girls, who results have ended up facing England, no 166 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: One ranked team in the world in the quarters. My 167 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 2: first message to the girls was, well, you gotta beat 168 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: them sometimes exactly, you may as well beat them now, 169 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: just in general, speaking in cliches. 170 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: Actually, my other most hated is when someone's get getting 171 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: interviewed post matches, like player of the match or whatever 172 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: it is, and they say, I was just in the 173 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: right place at the right time. You absolutely weren't. You 174 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: were really good, and you worked hard and you've worked 175 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: hard for a really long time to be the player 176 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: of the match. So take the credit. 177 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. So the Majida's opening game will be against Ireland 178 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 2: at the Sydney Football Stadium on the twentieth of July. 179 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: So were going to be there? 180 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: Are we getting tickets? Were absolutely sure? 181 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 2: You better. It's your job. Pace of followed by Nigeria 182 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 2: in Brisbane on the twenty seventh July, and finally Canada 183 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: in Melbourne on the thirty first. If they finish first 184 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: in Group B, Motilla's will face a second place team 185 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 2: from Group D which will possibly be Denmark l China 186 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 2: in Sydney in the Round of sixteen knockout match or 187 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 2: sorry on August seventh. However, if they finish second in 188 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: their group and this is again that same kind of thing, 189 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 2: they will instead travel to Brisbane for a must win 190 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 2: game against the winner of Group D, which is likely 191 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 2: to be the euro Champs England, and everyone's like, so 192 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 2: that's kind of where the extension of the old pool 193 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 2: of Death comes from, because not only that, but if 194 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: we do finish second, played the Poms early. But again, 195 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 2: so the argument is the poems. You know, maybe they've 196 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: taken it easy through their pool matches. Maybe getting them 197 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 2: early helps. You know, they're not into their rhythm. 198 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: They might not like the Queens. Then you've got to 199 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: claim at. 200 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 2: Some point single match tickets, though, tam do go on 201 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 2: stab to the general public from November. The first which 202 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 2: we just frighteningly realized is next week I was a November. 203 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't like it here. 204 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: It is that your Christmas shopping people will have a 205 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: te fat range out for you.

Gianni Infantino was vocal in criticizing television 210 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 2: broadcasters who have offered one hundred times less to screen 211 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: the Women's World Cup compared to the men's. Infantino said 212 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: in Auckland, we are not going to accept this. We 213 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: know that the viewing figures for these broadcasters in some 214 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: big football and countries for the men's World Cup or 215 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: for the women's World Cup are actually very similar, meaning 216 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 2: their commercial income is very similar for men and for women. 217 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: I love that so good someone in that role, like 218 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: he's the fee for president. He's the big dog, right yep. 219 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: Like he's in a role and he's saying this is 220 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: not good enough, and he's actually saying why he's not 221 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: saying we think in future the women are going to 222 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: be successful, that they're actually successful. They draw big crowds 223 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: and big numbers, and the money should match that for 224 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: the broadcast. 225 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 2: They keep reading there some numbers. 226 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: I always get excited too early.

FIFA has not publicly named 234 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: the broadcasters involved or confirmed the offers take good to date, 235 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: but Infantino said offers submitted for the television rights were 236 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: far too low. UA for Women's euro twenty twenty two 237 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: experienced global viewership of three hundred and sixty five million 238 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: across one hundred and ninety five territories, and in twenty nineteen, 239 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: the Women's World Cup attracted a combined one point one 240 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: two billion viewers across all platforms billion, but that was 241 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: a bee for billion. In addition to calling for greater 242 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: investment for broadcasters, FIFA has also confirmed it for the 243 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: first time, they plan to sell the commercial rights separately 244 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: to the men's tournament, with Infantino saying we're trying to 245 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: commercialize the Women's World Cup for the first time on 246 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: its own, because it can stand on its own two feet. 247 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And I think in the past I were like, 248 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 2: hey you want to sponsor the World Cup, You'll have both. 249 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 2: Now it's like, hey, you want to sponsor the Women's 250 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: World Cup.

Lory Kramer added two penalties 257 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: to secure the thirteen to seven win that ensured the 258 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: Walleres finished second in their pool to New Zealand. 259 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: Lorie Kramer's kicking needs to get a shout out. She's 260 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: been super consistent and ice cold under. 261 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 2: Pressure, killing it, Killing it, Kramer. There was some frustration 262 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 2: in the coaching box, especially when you look back at 263 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 2: the stats that show the Wallerooes ended the Wales twenty 264 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 2: two to twelve times, twenty two being post scoring a 265 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: try for those who don't be twenty two meters out 266 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: from the trial line. An absolute certain try was taken 267 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 2: from the Aussies when referee Sarah cot Was got in 268 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: the way of a pass from Batabasaga. They would have 269 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 2: found a three person over like only fifteen meters from 270 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 2: the line. That was just shocking. 271 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: It was quite frustrating. 272 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: There were some late drama when replacements second row o' 273 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: Caitlin Leani received a yellow card for a high tackle 274 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: with less than ten minutes on the clock. They like 275 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 2: to keep us on the edge of our seat, the girls, 276 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: but the Aussie is held on for a deserved second 277 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 2: to Pool win. Australia number eight Grace Hamilton was a 278 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: waded player of the match after producing a huge shift. 279 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: She made twenty eight carries, zero handling errors and had 280 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: one hundred percent tackle success rate. It was a huge races. 281 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: Those stats are so impressive, huge one hundred percent tackle 282 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: success rate. It's very hard to do. 283 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: The crowd on Saturday was epic, with more than sixteen 284 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 2: and a half thousand packed into the stadium in funger 285 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 2: Ay by the time the home team took on Scotland 286 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 2: in the second match of the day. Interestingly, later on 287 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: that evening, the men's NPC, which is the National Provincial 288 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: Championship in New Zealand, grand final between Canterbury and Wellington 289 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: was played in christ Church and the crowd in fron 290 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: Gray was probably twice as large as the crowd in christ. 291 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: Church tables, aren't they cool? On Sunday, as we discussed, 292 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: it was confirmed that the Walleries were going to face 293 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: up against number one ranked England, who are currently on 294 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: a twenty eight game winning streak and have not lost 295 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen. You lost, what they say, as assistant 296 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: coach Scott Favors said, once you get to the knockout stages, 297 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: anything can happen. He said on Sunday, You've got to 298 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: test yourself against the best in the world and if 299 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: we can go up against them with a bit of 300 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: fire like we did against Wales, it's a similar style. 301 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: So who knows. It's a knockout competition. So the pressure 302 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: cooker comes in each of these encounters and we just 303 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: need to see if we are the ones to come 304 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: out here on top Scotland, then walse England could be 305 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: the next victim to knock over. 306 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: Just take out the whole of Great Britain while we're there, 307 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: because except for Norman Island, but I don't think they 308 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: play the rugby. 309 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: I don't think so either. 310 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: Great defeat Great Britain.

After some chat in 341 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: the media about Hancock Prospecting and their questionable climate track record, 342 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: it was confirmed by the Players Association that the team's 343 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: support of Indigenous player and Nunga woman Danelle Wollam was 344 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,959 Speaker 1: the reason behind the stand that the Diamonds took. Wallam 345 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: had flagged the company's record on indigenous matters, including offensive 346 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: comments by Reinhart's late father laying Hancock, when requesting she'd 347 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: be excused from wearing the company's name on her uniform. 348 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: Reports from Netball Australia sources indicated that the issue had 349 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: been resolved on Friday when Wallam agreed to wear the 350 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: uniform with Hancock's name on it, but a call from 351 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: Hancock Prospecting on Saturday, the CEO of Netble Australia, Kelly Ryan, 352 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: advised that despite the concession from the Diamonds, there remain 353 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: doubts that the players supported the partnership and as a result, 354 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: the offer was withdrawn. 355 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 2: Along with that Diamond's Bombshell mining company roy Hill, which 356 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: is majority owned by Hancock, will withdraw its sponsorship of 357 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 2: Netball WA and the West Coast Fever. Both companies offered 358 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 2: a four month deal to allowt NA and Netball WA 359 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 2: time to secure new partners. A statement from Hancock read 360 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 2: Hancock and its executive chairman, Missus Ryan Hart, consider that 361 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 2: it is unnecessary for sports organizations to be used as 362 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: the vehicle for social or political causes. There are more 363 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 2: targeted and genuine ways to progress social or political courses 364 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 2: without virtue signaling or for self publicity. 365 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: That is a real concern that quote, isn't it? 366 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 2: The irony in it is that after this all starts 367 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 2: to come to light in the media, every sport that 368 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 2: Ryan Hart currently supports. 369 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: Suddenly put a statement out we're. 370 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 2: Waxing lyrical about how wonderful handcock prospecting is on their 371 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 2: social media accounts. So a little bit contradictory team. Kelly 372 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 2: Ryan spoke to Channel Night on Sunday morning, and when 373 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 2: asked about that statement from Ryan Hart, she responded, and 374 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: missus Ryan Hart's views of hers and we fully appreciate them. 375 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 2: There's an important role that sports organizations do play to 376 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 2: create a safe environment to have a really strong social conversations, 377 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 2: but there needs to be a balance in terms of 378 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: the commercial realities of that to make sure you continue 379 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: to invest in the future of your sport. Both are 380 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 2: incredibly important to any organization. It's about trying to strike 381 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 2: that right balance. I think Kelly Ryan said some interesting 382 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 2: things in the last couple of months, but I'm here 383 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 2: for that. It is about balance. 384 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: I agree. I think she she spoke quite well on 385 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: a very complicated issue. 386 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 2: It was complicated, it is complicated. 387 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: It is one of the major concerns surrounding it is 388 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: the governing body's ability to manage a range of matters, 389 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: including sensitive cultural issues. It's understood that from the playing 390 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: group three options were put to Netble Australia earlier in 391 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: the week. These included one that an apology be made 392 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: or at least some distance be put between laying Hancock's 393 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: genocide comments and the values of the current leadership of 394 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: Hancock Prospect led by Gina E Reinhart. That's all it 395 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: would have taken, not a hard request. All it would 396 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: have take him. Two that applause be put on all 397 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: discussions until the current international series against New Zealand and 398 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: England was complete. All three that Wallambi granted an exemption 399 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: from wearing the logo for personal reasons. All three suggestions 400 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: were rejected by Netble Australia as they continued to put 401 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: pressure on Walom to back down on her stance. The 402 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: Australian netbl Players Association released a statement on Saturday night 403 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: that's said, in part the singular the singular issue of 404 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: concern to the players was one of support for our 405 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: only indigenous team member. We are fully committed to the 406 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: Diamond's sister in Arms legacy and the values this represents, 407 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: alongside Australian Netbull's declaration of commitment. Back to your comment there, 408 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: we kind of have discussed this. I can't remember whether 409 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: it was on the route last week or just you 410 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: and I having conversations about it. The fact that there was, 411 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: it's been somewhat confirmed that one of the options was 412 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: for a public apology, or maybe not even a public apology, 413 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: maybe just directly to Dennell or within that internal boundaries. 414 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: I can't talk right now, but the fact that there 415 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: was an option, but instead Handcock Prospecting have decided branding 416 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: is the threat. We're going to pull the money. 417 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 2: And run, and in doing so they've almost doubled down 418 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: on the comments made by Lang Hank correct. 419 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: I think that's exactly what's happened. 420 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 2: You know, the players understand that the financial commitment is important, 421 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 2: absolutely aware that they need commercial investors to survive. I 422 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: think you know rightly or only that they would have 423 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 2: accepted a statement from Hancock Prospecting saying you know, we 424 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 2: absolutely do not agree with the statements made by Laying 425 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 2: Hancock in nineteen eighty four, full stop. 426 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: It's a bit mind going to see that that was 427 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: one of the options, I think, and. 428 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: I think one of the other things we spoke about 429 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 2: is obviously there's this is not the first time this 430 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 2: has been in the media or not the only part 431 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 2: of this overall kind of questioning of your commercial partnerships 432 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 2: is in the media at the moment. With it with 433 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 2: Australian Cricket pat Cummings and alinter You and I spoke 434 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 2: about it and I said the issue that well, the 435 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 2: difference is that cricket Australia and Pat comes himself. He 436 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 2: has enough. They have enough support, They have enough backing. 437 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 2: If female sport netball Australian particular, hadn't been so severely 438 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 2: undefunded for so long, they'd probably be able to make 439 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 2: better decisions or have been in a position of power 440 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 2: where they could say no if they wanted to. In 441 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 2: rugby league, the Women's Rugby League World Cup kicks off 442 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 2: next week and the Strange Lerries will face Theook Islands 443 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 2: in York next Thursday morning our time. But before that 444 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 2: anticipated match, another Aussie league star will take center stage 445 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 2: at the World Cup. Casey Badger will become the first 446 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 2: female referee to take charge of a men's World Cup 447 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 2: match when she takes the whistle for the clash between 448 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 2: Wales and Tonga in Saint Helen's on Tuesday morning. So 449 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 2: this morning our time, Badger was shocked to be named. 450 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 2: I love this from her and said I nearly fell 451 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 2: off my chair when they announced it. They were talking 452 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: about the appointments, started talking about Craning opportunities and history 453 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 2: made and then they read my name out amazing. I 454 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 2: was shocked. I didn't come over here expecting to referee 455 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 2: in the men's tournament, that's for sure. And Casey again, 456 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 2: this is some great check for me that that is 457 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 2: going to go to audiences not just in Australia. Who 458 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 2: see me and Belinda fellow female referee Blindo Sharp, who 459 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 2: we do see running touch a lot in the NRL, 460 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 2: he will be seen across the globe. We want more 461 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 2: people to be involved in referring and this is a 462 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: great way to do that. These type of moments don't 463 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: come around often, but they are the reason you stay involved. 464 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: I love that her. 465 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the key story in tennis. 466 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 2: Former number one ranked tennis player Simona Hallop has been 467 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 2: provisionally suspended by the International Tennis Integrity Agency after failing 468 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 2: a drug test during the US Open last month. Hallip 469 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 2: test a positive for the banned substance rocks are Dusted, 470 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 2: a drug approved for medical use in the Europinion to 471 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 2: treat the symptoms of anemia caused by chronic kidney failure. 472 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 2: Alip was quick to declear who innocence on Twitter posting 473 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 2: today begins the hardest match of my life, a fight 474 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 2: for the truth. Throughout my whole career. The idea of 475 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: cheating never even crossed my mind once, as is totally 476 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 2: against all the value I have been educated with. Facing 477 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 2: such an unfair sanction, I feel completely confused and betrayed. 478 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: I will fight until the end to prove that I 479 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 2: never knowingly took any prohibited substance, and I have faith 480 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 2: that sooner or later the truth will come out. 481 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: The Romanian two time Grand Same title winner recently and 482 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: now she was taking the rest of this season off 483 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: after having no surgery to improve her breathing. The drug 484 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: that she is allegedly tested positive to rocks a dust 485 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: it now what we said stimulates the body to produce 486 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: more of the natural hormone arethroprotein, arethropotan or EPO. Under 487 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: the World Anti Doping Code, Howlett faces a band of 488 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: up to four years if she has found guilty of 489 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: using the bands substance. I chatted about this on Sports Sunday, 490 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: and for me as an athlete, it's drilled into me 491 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: well at least once a year. We have compulsory training 492 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 1: and education through Sports Integrity Australia who do a huge 493 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: amount of work and a large component of it is 494 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: the education of athletes that you are responsible for everything 495 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: that you put in your body. So I don't ever 496 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: I would never go down to Boostjuice and buy a 497 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: protein ball, or I'd never go to a jew shop 498 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: and Biasmoothia that has protein powder in it, because I 499 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: would only ever have a supplement that is batch tested 500 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: because of the risk of traces of drugs that have 501 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: been found. And that's a big part of what Sports 502 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: Integrity Australia have done. That actually released some really interesting 503 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: information in September of this year that for the first 504 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: time in over a decade not a single athlete tested 505 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 1: positive due to a supplement in Australia. 506 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 2: Wow. 507 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, which is actually incredible from them because they obviously 508 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: put a huge amount of funding and research and effort 509 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: into this process of educating Australian athletes and I think 510 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: and it. 511 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 2: Is drummed into them. The same thing happens at the 512 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 2: wartas and all the protein and the supplements that we 513 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 2: get in are all batch tested and you know it's 514 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 2: there for the girls, so you don't necessarily want them 515 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: out there, Like you said, purchasing stuff. They don't where 516 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 2: it came from. 517 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you don't know, like obviously we've got quite 518 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: strict legislation in Australia around labeling of products and things 519 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: like that as well, So you don't know overseas in 520 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: Romania and what that process is like, you don't know 521 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: whether it's been linked with her surgery and drugs that 522 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: she's been taking post surgery. But very very interesting situation 523 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: and she's obviously going to fight very hard to prove 524 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: her innocence. Rough one, let's take a look at what 525 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: to watch on Thursday night.
