00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: I think she said a boogie board made of steel

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: or something. I was like, nice, that's nally, that's so gnarly.

Speaker 2: That is some good prep. So what are the jew moguls,

46
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: you asked, duel moguls. It's that combo's not suiting me

47
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: at the moment. Well, the duel moguls is a free

48
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: Maybe I just shouldn't speak about winter sports because I

49
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: can't say.

50
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: That that's really not your genre. Is that I'm a

51
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: summer sport, but you would never be getting the caller

52
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: for a winter Olympic commentator. You also don't say shred

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: it up, shred.

54
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,360

55
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: Any who?

56
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 2: The duel moguls is a freestyle skiing competition where two

57
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: athletes race side by side down a mogle course, competing

58
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: in an elimination format, with the winner of each round

59
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: advancing to the next day. The course includes two small

60
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: jumps which are used as a takeoff for aerial maneuvers.

61
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: Athletes can perform upright or inverted tricks off these jumps

62
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: in the course of a competition run.

63
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: Okay, can we discuss I know we've talked about dual

64
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: moguls in the context of Jakara Anthony aka the Goat

Speaker 2: Do that?

72
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: Where it's speed, but then you're also marked because that's

73
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: the thing, right in moguls you're marked on speed but

74
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: also skill. Weird thing.

75
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, So there's a there's a race element and a

109
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: lead in the standings and only needed to finish twelfth

110
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: or better to secure the title. That's some That's a

111
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: nice way to go in, isn't it.

112
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: Sure?

113
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: Is, she didn't want to leave anything to chance, qualifying

114
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: for the twelve women final in second place. She then

115
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: performed a lay full full double twisting triple back summersault

116
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: standard in the first round of finals to advance the

117
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,520

Speaker 1: point eighty three points. In the super final, Laura up

119
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,040

00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: and twelve point nine zero points for her spectacular full

121
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: full triple twisting triple back summersault in one of her

122
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: best jumps of the season.

123
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: Talk to me about completing a full, full, full triple

124
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: twisting triple black summersault when the pressure is off.

125
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: She's obviously already won the crystal glow.

126
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to ask for me to explain,

127
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: but I think I feel more confident to explain what

128
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: that is. But I think, yeah, I reckon when you've

129
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: locked that in, because imagine the amount of time she's

130
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: practiced a full triple twisting triple back summrsault, and to

131
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: do that, like literally to go out and be like,

132
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: I've just secured it's a third crystal globe. Oh, We've

133
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: got an explanation. It's a job with three flips, each

134
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: with one full twist and a total of three twists,

135
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: also known as a triple twisting triple backflip. There's just

136
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: a lot of triple twisty things in there.

137
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: Makes me dizzy, so dizzy.

138
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: But ye, the lack of the release of pressure, being

139
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: able to just say I've practiced this, let's.

140
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: Put it down in competition.

141
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I think it just would be a very

142
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: nice feeling in a very high pressure sport.

143
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: High pressure in regards to results, high pressure in regards

144
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: to danger, breaking yourself.

145
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: That's what I was talking about, Nash.

146
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 3: In some cricket news.

147
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,119

00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: the final. It was pretty tight there in the end.

150
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: Early in the innings it seemed everything was going the

151
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: way of Delhi as they had Mumbai reeling at two

152
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: for twenty by the end of their power play for

153
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: the Indians would set the Capitals a target of one

154
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: forty nine runs courtesy of sixty six from forty four

155
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: balls from skipper and prick Kal. Delhi didn't get off

156
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: to a great start in their chase with openers Landing

157
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: was thirteen and falling quickly to leave them at two

158
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: for seventeen at the end of the third over. Nikki

159
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: Brissard offered the Capitals a glimmer of hope in the

160
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: final yo overs, hitting twenty five runs off twenty three balls,

161
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: but Mumbai ultimately fell just short of the target, reaching

162
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: nine for one hundred and forty one.

163
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: The win marks back to back WPOL victories to the.

164
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 2: Inn for the Mumbai Indians, while also marking triple heartbreak

165
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: for the Capitals, who've now lost their third straight Grand

166
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: Final in a row. No, that's brutal, Yeah, and sad well,

167
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: sadly the title went to the one team.

168
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: In the tournament that doesn't have an Aussie.

169
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: Oh, that's even sadder.

170
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: Saddest, Oh, the saddest.

171
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: In football. Chelsea have edged past Manchester City two to

172
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: one in the Women's League Cup final to win their

173
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: first trophy under new coach Sonya bomb Pasta to keep

174
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: their bid for a historic quadruple alive. Maya Ramirez nested

175
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: an early opener for Chelsea just eight minutes in, bundling

176
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: in a rebound that bounced off City captain Leia Alexandria

177
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: City then dominated play after Chelsea's opener, but they were

178
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: unable to find a way through during the first half

179
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: as Chelsea's defense stood firm. Ober Fijito would find the

180
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: equalizer for City in the sixty fourth minute with a

181
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: stunning strike, but it was ultimately an own goal by

182
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: Uie Hassegaoa with thirteen minutes to go that restored Chelsea's

183
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: lead and did their three year losing streak in the

184
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: League Cup final. They might have some advice for.

185
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: The Teli Capital I could pass on.

186
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: But putting that joke aside, the state of the pitch

187
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: was not a joke, very poor. Well, it kind of

188
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: was a joke. It was shocking, wasn't it a bad joke?

189
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: It looked worse than like a club game. Literally, there

190
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: was an interesting photo of one of the players taking

191
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: a corner and it was like dirt, Yeah, not even grass.

192
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 2: And I think the important thing to note here, well,

193
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: surfaces should be safe to play on for a start,

194
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: across all sports. But secondly, when you add in football

195
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: and we're just talking off air about the fact that

196
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: the balls on the ground a lot, it really affects

197
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: the quality of the match. Yes, and there's just no

198
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: way a men's league Cup final will be played on

199
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: a pitch like that, No.

200
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: Way, And what kind of approval process steps has it

201
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: got to someone to say, yeah, Dick, that's good enough.

202
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 2: And here's the thing, Like this is a lead cup

203
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: final between a London team and a Manchester team, right,

204
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: there are a ridiculous number of good football pitches in

205
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: and around both those places. When the pitch inspection was

206
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: done two or three days before, and which I'm sure

207
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 2: it should have been, there's time to move that.

208
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: How many And there'd be a number of pitches that

209
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: also have decent stadium facilities around there right for.

210
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: Very many their lifeblood. Literally, it wasn't good enough at all.

211
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: Vivian Medema took to Instagram saying this is not an

212
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: excuse but another push to improve the women's game in

213
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: the future. Pitch conditions today were unacceptable. We're at a

214
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: point now where we deserve equal conditions when it comes

215
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: to playing a cup final, and sadly enough this wasn't

216
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: the case today. New Chelsea coach Bombaster echoed these sentiments.

217
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: It is a shame to have this pitch for a final,

218
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: especially when you expect in England to have the best

219
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: groundsmen and pitches in the world. That's a very good point.

220
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: Is it absolutely? Who was not doing their job?

221
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: Someone's in trouble.

222
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm not sure if it was a men's final

223
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: game it would be the same. We just need to

224
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: make sure we have the best facilities and grass to

225
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: play the games.

226
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 2: As I said, And there's so many reasons that that

227
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: pitch was in the state it was in like it

228
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: might have been. Whether they could have been like a

229
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: burst pipe somewhere like I don't know. The intest is

230
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: that the groundsman would know. But again, like, don't be

231
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: afraid to move it. If that pitch isn't getting to

232
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 2: produced or allow the player to produce the best football,

233
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: put it somewhere else.

234
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: Pitch has to be number one, doesn't. I don't know

235
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: what else would be above that?

236
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: Nothing agreed.

237
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: In some more football, this time on shore here in Australia,

238
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: Wesday Night have pulled off a dramatic win over Camberry Nighted,

239
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: having trailed three times in the four to three win

240
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: The exciting football Yeah. Camber led one nil, two to

241
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: one and three two thanks to goals from Bethany Gordon

242
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: Madison Ason and Mary stannic Blood, but time and again

243
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: the host bound answers Kiwa Hayada, Katherine Zimmerman and Sandra

244
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: Ibaguan scored the equalizing goals to set the stage for

245
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: an eighty to nine minute winner forced by Western substitute

246
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: Giara di Dimosio off the leg of Canvra defender for

247
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: an own goal that handed the host all three points.

248
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: How much does an own goal suck?

249
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: It's brutal.

250
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: I hate it.

251
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 2: The win sees westing Night to cling onto their spot

252
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: in the league's top four with just four rounds remaining.

253
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: In netball, the Adelaide Thunderbirds have just defeated even the

254
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: West Coast Fever thirty eight to thirty seven in super

255
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: Netbull's official pre season cup. The Team Girls Cup. Fever

256
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: led by ten goals during power time of the third

257
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: quarter until three super shots from the home team cut

258
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: the margin to just four goals at the final change.

259
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: The Thunderbirds then scored four of the first five goals

260
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: in the last quarter to reduce the margin to one

261
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: before taking the lead with three and a half minutes

262
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: left in the match. As both teams battled it out

263
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: for the winning it was t Birds star Georgie Howg

264
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: just landing the match win up with just two seconds

265
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: left on the clock.

266
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: Clutch.

267
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: How good is that? The TGC win means Adelaida now

268
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: aiming to become the first team. Yes, I forgot about

269
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: the curse.

270
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: If you win the preseason, you never win the big one.

271
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: And that's a real thing, isn't it. Oh my goodness pressure.

272
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: Oh interesting to see how that goes. Thirty eight to

273
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: thirty seven though. Do they play reduced time?

274
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 3: I believe so?

275
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: Very low score. I get because they're playing a lot

276
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: of games in a weekend, right, so you probably wouldn't

277
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: be playing full length netball games over and over again.

278
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: It's like a gala just before you start your season.

279
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: Probably makes sense.

280
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: In rugby union, Arstars have beaten the Queensland Reds thirty

281
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 2: six to fourteen. Yeah, they did, spoiling Assie Sevens player

282
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: Charlotte Asleic's day for the Queensland side, so it was

283
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: an interesting week for us. I think there was a

284
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 2: lot of media around the Sevens girls, in particular Shark Catholic, who,

285
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: let's be honest, is probably one of the top three

286
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: women's rugby players in the world, Yes, easily.

287
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: Yes.

288
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: In the seventh game, Oh, she said, she's just not

289
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: she hasn't proved fifteen I have, you know, I hope

290
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: that she does prove herself fifteen's. I think she's you know,

291
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: her skills are outstanding, and I think that they will

292
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: transfer well to the fifteens game once she understands it more.

293
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 3: But it's a completely different game. And we saw that

294
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 3: on the weekend.

295
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: We saw Teagan Levi play eighty minutes at thirteen and

296
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: you know, in my opinion, g Fred absolutely, Georgina Frederick's

297
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: our thirteen who is the wallerus thirteen dominated her like really,

298
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: you know, because in no disrespect to Tigan, But the

299
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: reality is that that's her second game of fifteen's.

300
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: It's a very different game. And Charlotte had I only

301
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: was able to tune in late, Thanks Bread for that.

302
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: But Charlotte had a couple of line breaks when she

303
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: was on. But it just the gap closes, doesn't if

304
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: you beat one or two players. Fullback comes across like

305
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: you're working in like such a small amount of space.

306
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 3: In fifteen yeah, we speak about time.

307
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: You speak about speed on the ball and time and

308
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: space and in sevens you know, not all the time.

309
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: And I absolutely appreciate, as I said, all of their

310
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: skills in the sevens game. But you can genuinely drift

311
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: across field looking for runners for three four seconds in

312
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: fifteen's that does not happen. You need to find holes,

313
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: You need to find space instantly. Yeah, there's fifteen people

314
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: on the field.

315
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people, a lot more.

316
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: That's eight more than seven.

317
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: That is good maths right there. While we're on this topic,

318
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: I think you should give us a little rundown and

319
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: of the game. But while we're on this topic, I'm

320
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: kind of curious to chat you as an insider at

321
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: the new South Wuorotis. There has been, as you said,

322
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: a lot of hype around these Aussie sevens players coming

323
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: to SUPERW. We know that SUPERW as a competition hasn't

324
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: received a huge amount of media coverage. How does it

325
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: feel when it's off the back of some superstars coming

326
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: to the game that the game gets more coverage? Yeah? Good?

327
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: Let me say good and think about this for a

328
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: few seconds. I've just really to you there.

329
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: No, No, I think it's great. Any any coverage is

330
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: great coverage. And we find that in all women's sport.

331
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: You know, at the end of the day, media is

332
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: media and you need that kind of press. And you know,

333
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: the crowd was really good at Ballymore. We're a standalone

334
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: fiction on a Sunday afternoon, when Charlotte came on with

335
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: about twenty odd minutes remaining, big cheers, lots of hype.

336
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: That kind of stuff is fantastic for the game and

337
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: I'm here for it. You know, does that mean that

338
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: I think that that my you know, players don't deserve

339
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: equal amount of media coverage.

340
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: Of course I think that is an equal amount of

341
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: media coverage.

342
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: But the reality is that these these players are household names,

343
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: so they are going to you know, help raise the

344
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: level of interest in the sport. And as we know,

345
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: a rising tide lift or boats. So if the sevens

346
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: girls are part of the tide, I have at it.

347
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 3: I'm here for it.

348
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's a really good point. And what

349
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: I'd really like to see off the back of it

350
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: is it's like the attention is on the Aussie seven superstars,

351
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: and as you said, deservedly so. They're very goodly well

352
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: they elite professional athletes who have been for a very

353
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: long time. But what I'd really like to see is

354
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: the flow on effect from that. So it's like there's

355
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: the attention on these players, but it's like, hey, look

356
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: at their teammates or look who they're matching up against

357
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: in their position, you know what I mean that kind

358
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: of thing, And I think I know we draw on

359
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: the Alona mar example a lot, but I think what

360
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: she's done with the Bristol Bears. People are coming to

361
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: watch those games who may not have gone to watch before,

362
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: and then they start to see the different players out

363
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: on the field, but they might see Aloner collab with

364
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: another athlete on socials and then start following that athlete.

365
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: You know, I think the flow on effect of that

366
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: hopefully is a really positive thing for superw and the

367
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: Walleries as well.

368
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 2: Here, Yeah, I completely agree, and you know it is

369
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 2: obviously Madison Levi was there. She's not playing, but she

370
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: was meant to be playing for the read She's got

371
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 2: a thumb issue but from Seven's but you know, she

372
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: was involved in the pre match part of it. Her

373
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: sister was playing, Carlie Henwood was playing, Isabelle Nasa was playing,

374
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: and then Charlotte obviously came on as well. So yeah,

375
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: those girls definitely bring a level of professionalism and as

376
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: we said, amazing skills to the game and media and

377
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 2: that that coverage. You know, we have seen more coverage

378
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: this week, that last week than we had all year.

379
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's wonderful and it was really good. Little

380
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: side note on the flight on the way home last night,

381
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 2: Hegan and Maddie were both on our flight with our

382
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: whole squad, and someone who shall remain nameless may have

383
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 2: got the host he to give a big shout out

384
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: for the news of Orotars women who won thirty six fourteen,

385
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 2: and we all had a little sly laugh with Deagan

386
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: and Maddie.

387
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: It's funny. Were you this someone?

388
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 3: No, it was Illi sever Well, not I.

389
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: Throwing the bus. Can you give me a quick thirty

390
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: second rundown of the match.

391
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the game. It was a good game of rugby.

392
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: They scored early. We were, you know, sticking to our shape.

393
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 2: The girls did really well. We little set piece move

394
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 2: from a lineout, saw Adian on Telekai score and then yeah,

395
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: May stew and Desi Miller got to work. Ultimately nineteen fourteen.

396
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: At halftime, it was still tight anyone's game, but I

397
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 2: think the girls felt that they were going to finish stronger.

398
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: It was hot up there, not as hot as Sydney,

399
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: but it was still pretty warm. And yeah, I can't

400
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: say enough for our bench that came on and really

401
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: just finished the game off.

402
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: So thirty six to fourteen was really nice result.

403
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. In three x three, the Gangaroos

404
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: secured third place in the inaugural Red Bull three x

405
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: three Champions Cup, with the bronze medal games decided by

406
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: the final shot on the women's side. Paris Olympian only

407
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: mainly led the Gangaroos to the finals. After a half

408
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: opening loss to Spain thirteen to twenty one, they would

409
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: bounce back on Day two, defeating Thailand twenty two to

410
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: nineteen and France twenty one to eighteen to finish second

411
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: in their group in a heartbreaking affair. They would come

412
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: one game short of their gold medal aspirations, losing to

413
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: Canada and in the semifinals after a buzzer beating two

414
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: point sixteen to eighteen. However, they rallied in the bronze

415
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: medal game, edging out Germany eighteen to seventeen thanks to

416
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: a late hook shot from Hannah Hank to close the game.

417
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: Hook shot from Hannah Hank.

418
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: Right, that's good. Hannah Hank is a great name.

419
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story.

420
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: There's been a bit of talk in the last few

421
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 2: weeks about the Women's Super League and whether it should

422
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 2: get rid of the promotion and relegation system in an

423
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: attempt to grow the game. So, for those of you

424
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: not quite sure about that, the promotion and relegation system

425
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: is a system where teams move between divisions based on

426
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 2: their performance, with the best teams from lower leagues promoted

427
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: and the worst teams from highly relegated. So for instance,

428
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 2: if you finished top two in Division one, you end

429
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 2: up in Premier League, and if conversely, if you finished

430
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 2: bottom two in the Premier League, you go back down

431
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: to Division one. So reports emerged from The Guardian at

432
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: the end of February that the proposal to be discussed by

433
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: clubs was to stop promotion delegation for a period of time.

434
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: Right. Reportedly, the twenty three WSL and Championship clubs were

435
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: asked to explore a range of options to increase the profile,

436
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: sustainability and profitability of women's football in the hopes that

437
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: both the Championship and WSL will eventually have sixteen teams each. Allegedly,

438
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: the rationale behind the proposal is that removing the threat

439
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: of relegation would encourage owners to invest and help develop

440
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: a more competitive league, which is currently dominated by Chelsea,

441
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: who have won the past five WSL titles.

442
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 3: Don't see a problem with that.

443
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was waiting for you to come in

444
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: with that. But that's a really interesting discussion in itself

445
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: because there is this top tier that seemed to be

446
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: funded very very nicely and I think we see and

447
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: probably us coming from Australia, you're obviously supporting Chelsea, But

448
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: I know, for me, I see so much hype around

449
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: these big name teams, but I think I don't think

450
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: people perhaps over here and maybe not in the UK,

451
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: understand the lack of fun in some of those teams

452
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: that are lower down.

453
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 2: And it comes to that point of success breed success

454
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: and that doesn't just happen on the field, but that

455
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: also happens in the boardroom where there are decisions being

456
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: made about budgets and financial forecasts and things like that.

457
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: So the reality is that if you're a.

458
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: Team of a women's team playing well attracting sponsorship, crowds,

459
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff.

460
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: Money attracts money.

461
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 2: And so those teams continue to get better players, better facilities,

462
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: all those things, and the players that the teams that

463
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: aren't necessarily performing as well don't necessarily have the same

464
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: kind of commercial propositions put to them or crowd figures

465
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: obviously attending their games every week. Because they're not winning,

466
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: it's hard to invest that money into those teams. And I,

467
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 2: whilst I do like relegation and promotion in regards to

468
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: obviously motivating the teams in the lower division, I see

469
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: the point of the fact that to give people to

470
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 2: give these teams time to base themselves, maybe keep it

471
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: the way it is for a little while.

472
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just wonder, like I think we see a

473
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: lot of the time this whole concept of like copying

474
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: and paste from men's league competition. Has the women's league

475
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: been ready for that for those teams that are probably

476
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: consistently finding themselves in that promotion relegation cycle at the

477
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: bottom because it's that financial insecurity for a lot of

478
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: people at that club.

479
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree.

480
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 2: So another idea apparently to be discussed was maintaining promotion

481
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: from the championship, but without relegation from the top flight.

482
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: So the WSO would gradually expand by one club every season.

483
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: Do you think about that.

484
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 3: I don't mind it.

485
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: I think if they have the capacity to do it,

486
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: but then when it will.

487
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 2: It I just couldn't last for long, which probably two

488
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 2: or three years surely.

489
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: And if you're in, you're in. It's a fit of

490
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: a rogue idea.

491
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

492
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: So Women's Professional League's Limited Chief executive Nikki Doussett insisted

493
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: the company values the relegation format. She said, we believe

494
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: from relegation is a great thing. It makes European football

495
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: distinctive from other leagues. It adds jeopardy and excitement. Great word,

496
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: it's something that we all love about the game of

497
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 2: football and that has never been in question. So yeah,

498
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 2: as we said, this is something that she's even touched on.

499
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 2: It's what makes European football distinctive from other leagues. So,

500
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: but this, this is a copy and paste from the

501
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: men's game, and you know, perhaps this is an opportunity

502
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 2: for the women's game to look at something with a

503
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: different lens and say we can do this differently and

504
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: make it better.

505
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what to watch. In surfing,

506
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: the Rip Curl Portugal Pro is well underway and it's

507
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: set to be an all Ossie quarterfinal with Molly Picklam

508
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: up against Tyler Wright when the action next resumed. So

509
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: it may have happened by the time the episode comes out,

510
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: but we love Anazzi going through regardless.

511
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: That's right, they'll be an I was in the semifinals.

512
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: Pickles and Tyler are starting to have set up a

513
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: little rivalry as well.

514
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,600

557
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,280

558
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,200

Speaker 1: just like hers. Across her journey, she interrogates the complex

564
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: into play of race, gender and class in the national

565
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: sport and what this says about us as a nation.

566
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,760
