You would 19 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: just like to sorry. 20 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 3: But it's fine. It's out there now. 21 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: Recording on gadagall Land. 22 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,559 Speaker 1: Let's take a look around the grounds in athletics, Tory 23 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: Lewis is fast, fast, really really fast, so fast. On 24 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: the weekend at the season's opening Diamond League meeting in China, 25 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: she shocked the athletics world when she won the two 26 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: hundred meter final from lane nine. 27 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: It was so good. Do you think the middle lane 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: runners didn't know she was even there? 29 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 3: I was thinking that, But I also think that at 30 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 3: those big stadiums, I often you can see them looking up. 31 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 3: They're looking at the stre in front of them, so 32 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 3: they must have had some idea of her being out 33 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 3: there on a pat malone. But she was amazing, like 34 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 3: she was in her own race. Didn't know she'd wan. 35 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: I'm taking a story. 36 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: I continue, Well, she's only nineteen years old, right, This 37 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: was her first ever Diamond League event. She entered it 38 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: and was feeling so nervous, and then she comes out 39 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: and beats the fastest woman in the world at the moment, Ja. 40 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 3: Carrie Richardson by point zero three seconds. 41 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: How good She ran it in twenty two point nine 42 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: six and the places were decided after a photo finish. 43 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: After you said, bez like she looked she had to 44 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: like pretty much look up and work out. 45 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: She had no idea she even won. How good? 46 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: She said, it was so surreal beating Shakari. I didn't 47 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: even notice I beat them until I saw the replay 48 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: and I was like, holy crap, so surreal. My goal 49 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: was just to hold on as long as I could. 50 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: I was in lane nine, so I knew they would 51 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: all be in front of me by fifty or sixty meters, 52 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: but I just wanted to do as well as I could. 53 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: Well, you did love that for her? How good? 54 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 3: She's great in surfing. The Margaret River Pro wound up 55 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: on the weekend and Hawaiian surfar Gabby Brian not only 56 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 3: won the title, but she had an incredible moment when 57 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: she shared a wave with the pot of dolphins. 58 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 2: You sent me the video and I haven't watched it yet. 59 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 3: So cool. She and there's like, I want to say, 60 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 3: a dozen dolphins just in the wave with her. 61 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: She got close to like when they're doing cutbacks, cut 62 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: backers and stuff. 63 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: Did she get close to the dolphins? 64 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 3: No, there was no danger of a dolphin getting fin choped. 65 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 2: She okay, good. I feel like they're smarter than that. 66 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: They know to not get finch chopped. 67 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: But that was awesome. Sadly, Sally Fitzgibbons has missed the 68 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: mid season cut with a loss in the quarter finals. 69 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 3: She will again drop back to that Challenger Series for 70 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: the second year in a row. Fellow ossie Tyler Wright 71 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 3: was beaten in the semifinals by sawyer Lynn Blad, who 72 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: also knocked out Sally. I just want to say on Sally, 73 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 3: like obviously and she must be devastated. She's missed out 74 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: on mister cut again for the second year. She is 75 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 3: some kind of human though. She came out of the 76 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 3: water knowing that that loss meant that she was out. 77 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 3: The kids all greet he on the on the beach. 78 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 3: They played game of rock paper scissors for her. Rashie 79 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 3: her single right, she gives away a singleer and then 80 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: she just takes the whole time walking up the beach, 81 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: posing for photos and fighting autographs after that disappointment. 82 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: That's really cool. It shows her character, doesn't it. 83 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, love that fear sale And you know what, he 84 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: killed it on the Challenger Series last year, so well again. 85 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: Great in basketball. 86 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: The Caitlin Clark Draft, as it will forever be known, 87 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: was watched by a massive two point four or five 88 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: million viewers. Clark was selected number one as expected and 89 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: will suit up for the Indiana Fever and the singlet 90 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: sold out in all sizes in just two days. The 91 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: frustrating part of that stampede for Clark's gear is that 92 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: the singlet won't ship until August. The season finishes bes 93 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: in September. 94 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 3: It's mind blowing And I think I was going to 95 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: talk to you about this before we started. But last 96 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,239 Speaker 3: year I tried to order an Ezy Seattle Storm singlet, 97 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 3: couldn't get one. 98 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 2: It's frustrating, isn't it. 99 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: It's really frustrating. Like I just and the Kaitlyn granted, 100 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: you know, may understand supply and demand issues and things 101 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 3: like that in regards to potentially making singlets for everyone, 102 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 3: but I just think they should number one and number two. 103 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: The Kaitlyn Clark situation shouldn't have snuck up on them. 104 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's surprising. 105 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: And the supplies are facing a fair bit of criticism 106 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: about the delays and shortages, and I just think, Yeah, 107 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: it's a hard thing. I think when women's sports so 108 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: quickly gets criticized about revenue. When there is a demand 109 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: for something that will bring in revenue, it needs to 110 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: be made available. 111 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: One hundred percent and We've put a little post up 112 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 3: about Kaitlin Clark's first year salary versus Victor and Way 113 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 3: Wemby very tall man. 114 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 2: He's a long, long man. 115 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 3: Got to see him in real life. Yeah, you tell 116 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 3: us about that, La and he's a very tall man. Anyway, 117 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: that comparison and a lot of there's already a lot 118 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 3: of comments about well when the league brings in X, 119 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 3: Y and Z at that whole beautiful comparison piece that 120 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: we talk about so lot. 121 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: I just rolled back into my brain again. 122 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 3: Like here's a little example of well, there's you're not 123 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 3: actually allowing us to support them in a way, like 124 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: the capacity isn't being generated for us to buy the 125 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 3: merch that we want to buy, exactly. It's super frustrating. 126 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 3: She is rumored. Clayton Clark that is to be signing 127 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 3: a deal with Nike worth well over twenty million dollars 128 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 3: plus potential bonuses US twenty million. 129 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: That's a lot of money. 130 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: His nace's kind of nice. Shall we come at one 131 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 3: of the few female basketballers with a shoe deal? I 132 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 3: think there's only three other current wn bear players of shoes. 133 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 3: Ozzie's nide pouch Isabelle Borlet and Jazz Shelley were all drafted. 134 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 3: Parts was drafted to the Atlanta Dream with the twelfth 135 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 3: pick and will be joined at the Dream by Borlace, 136 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 3: who went number twenty, and Shelley was selected twenty ninth 137 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 3: by the Phoenix Mercury. I think the most disappointing thing 138 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: about this we saw it last year with Charlie Hill 139 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 3: going seventh I think, but then getting cut. 140 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: It's savage. 141 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: It's a super competitive preseason camp that now waits the 142 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 3: players and they'll be up against it to make the 143 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 3: final twelve person roster for each team. 144 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 2: It's so cut through. 145 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 3: We need more teams and more teams roses. 146 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 147 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: In football, Melbourne City had a very impressive first semi 148 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: final performance, beating the Newcastle Jets three nil in front 149 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: of a record crowd in Maitland on Sunday afternoon. The 150 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: eight hundred and thirty six fans smashed the jets previous 151 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: crowd record boy by more than two thousand. 152 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: So good. How good. 153 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: Sydney FC got over the Central Coast Mariners one nil 154 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: in an entertaining game in Gosford Mackenzie Hawks. We broke 155 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: the deadlock nine minutes into the second half after a 156 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: sublime passed from sixteen year old future star Indiana Dos 157 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: Santos marinat Kaya Simon missed a few half chances. 158 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 2: It was really quite interesting. 159 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: How like to me this show's experience and leadership. This 160 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: Kaya Simon quote, she said, they definitely weren't the better 161 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: team on the day. I think it was a mistake 162 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: for myself and I take full responsibility for that. It's 163 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: pretty refreshing to hear an athlete be that open. 164 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: To something about getting older, having some perspective and being 165 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: able to speak truth. Absolutely love that from Kaya. In 166 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: swimming the two hundred meters in Paris is going to 167 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 3: be an absolute screamer. Oh wait, So on the weekend, 168 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 3: Molly O'Callahan won the Strange Championship, stopping the clock in 169 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: at one minute fifty three point five to seven seconds, 170 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: beating Aaron at Tipmus to the wall. That time was 171 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 3: the fastest so far this year, bettering the previous best 172 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 3: set by Canada Summer Macintosh. So we've got these three 173 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: absolute swimming goats. It's so good and they're going to 174 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: go at it together swimming goats. I wonder if they 175 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 3: can swim. No, I don't think so hooves aren't very webby. 176 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: I think it is pretty amazing that these three women 177 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 3: to get a like imagine being in the two out 178 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 3: of many to be like, oh, I'm not even a 179 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 3: chance of getting a metal. 180 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: Well, the fact that it's kind of shifting a little 181 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: bit from the four to the two, I mean the 182 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: four is still going to be iconic, but more. We 183 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: love more races with those finishes, don't. In rugby union, 184 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: World Rugby is considering the ball size for women's rugby union. 185 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: They're currently collecting training and playing data on a size 186 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: four point five ball, which is about three percent smaller 187 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: and three point three to four percent lighter than a 188 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: typical size five ball. The debate around ball size has 189 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: been around for a number of years, and there are 190 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: physical differences that do make a sound case for a 191 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: smaller ball. Lindsay Styling is the Science and Medical manager 192 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: at World Rugby and said last week typically an adult 193 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: male hand is ten percent larger than that of an 194 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: adult female. The report will be released in due course 195 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: once the results of the trials are analyzed. But rugby 196 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: union wouldn't be the first to reduce the ball size. 197 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: We know that it in basketball Afowuzie rules, there's smaller 198 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: ball sizes for the women. Bez, what are your thoughts 199 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: smaller ball for women in rugby? 200 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 2: Yes? 201 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 4: Or no? Oh? 202 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 3: Does it have to be so binary? 203 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: You're so great? I knew, I knew that was going 204 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 2: to be your response. 205 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: Look, I'm going to surprise you here and say. 206 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 2: Yes, oh I am surprised. 207 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I love the fact that rugby union is 208 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: one of this one of the sports where everything is 209 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 3: the same between the male and female game. It is, 210 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 3: there's no differences at all. We play the same game 211 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 3: as the men do. However, you cannot escape the fact 212 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: that we do have smaller hands. 213 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 4: Yeap. 214 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 3: And if that smaller ball increases the product, again, it's 215 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 3: about what we put out in there in the marketplace. 216 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 3: If it increases it, if improves the product, then yeah, 217 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 3: I think I'm for it. And yeah, there'll be a 218 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: lot of traditionalists that say absolutely not. But I will 219 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 3: reserve my final say until I see what comes from 220 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 3: this report. 221 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 2: What do you think I think that's fair enough? 222 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: I mean, you play with a smaller ball, Yeah, I. 223 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: Do, and I'm really glad that we do, because the 224 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: men's ball is bigger and heavier and in my hands 225 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: it feels huge. 226 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 4: Yeah. 227 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 3: Interesting. 228 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: My point that I would like to make though, is 229 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: that I obviously haven't been playing Aussie rules for a 230 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: very long time, but the ball has been that size 231 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: for a number of years. So what is it like 232 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: for women that have been playing rugby for a number 233 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: of years having to learn to adapt to something like that, 234 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: Particularly kickers. 235 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 3: I think kickers are the ones that spring to mind 236 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 3: the most about having to adjust. I think ball in hand, 237 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 3: it's gonna be great. You're just going to feel more 238 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: comfortable with a ball in hand. Sometimes you see smaller 239 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: girls running with that footy and it looks huge. 240 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: It's like the size of their Torso. 241 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: It's a good point, and I like the concept of 242 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: it to allow probably some more creative offloads. I thought 243 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 1: I was at the Warritors game watching you guys on 244 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: Friday night at Alion Stadium, great atmosphere. 245 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 2: We'll get to that story in a sec. 246 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: But I thought there were some really good, like one 247 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: handed offloads from a number of the players, and I 248 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: think that a slightly smaller ball would allow more player. 249 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 4: To do that. 250 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's the argument that it will, As we said, 251 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 3: it will allow the players to hang on to the 252 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 3: ball better and also be more creative in attack. 253 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 4: Yeah. 254 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: Interesting. I think big thing will be the kickers. 255 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. 256 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 3: They probably won't love it as much I imagine. And 257 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 3: I don't know about the aflwball, but do you feel 258 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: like it has a smaller sweet spot. 259 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's definitely something to consider, particularly when you've been 260 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: doing a lot of reps throughout your lifetime. 261 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 2: I think that's a weird adjustment anyway. 262 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 3: Time will tell great. So in some more rugby news, 263 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 3: the grand finally set and it will be the Fijian 264 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 3: drewer looking for three in a row against a new 265 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 3: Sophota team that is pretty desperate to win back the 266 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 3: title that we lost for the first time in twenty 267 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 3: twenty two. 268 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: Still hurts, doesn't it. 269 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. 270 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 3: The first semi final in Fiji was a really tight one. 271 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 3: It was played in front of over ten thousand gloriously 272 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 3: loud Fijian fans. Awesome is that it was a doubleheaded 273 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 3: with the men. But it kicked off at four point 274 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 3: thirty time and the suba Ministry for Employment government thing 275 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 3: leading up to it basically put a social media post 276 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 3: out there saying everyone needs to let their staff leave 277 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 3: early on Friday to go watch this game. 278 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 2: I love that so good. I mean that happened here. 279 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 3: Rugby is a reallygit inou country, so but amazing. The 280 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 3: Drewer were holding onto a small lead and the Western 281 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: Force had heats of chances. They were definitely hard on 282 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 3: the attack, but an errant lineout throw meant that our 283 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 3: Drewer won a scrum with about two minutes left on 284 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: the clock and at a late Boona ran eighty meters. 285 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 3: She is rapid the full back to score a try 286 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 3: and deliver the Drewer a twenty five to fourteen victory. 287 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 3: She scored three trials on the weekend. Should be one 288 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 3: that we are definitely looking at. The second semi final 289 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: between the Wartars and the ACD Rumbies was a high 290 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: scoring game and although the Brumbies did push the war 291 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,599 Speaker 3: Tars at times, and new Sofar's team always sends me 292 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 3: in control and we ran out forty seven to twenty 293 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 3: seven winners. And it was an awesome atmosphere and again 294 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 3: it was great to be at our aunts stadium with 295 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 3: our fans there. Yeah home alone, it was awesome. 296 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,599 Speaker 2: It was excellent. Yeah, let's take a look at the 297 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: key story.

And 324 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 5: I had some wonderful experiences through my time playing rugby 325 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 5: with the Rebels with Alana Thomas, and we had Peter 326 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 5: Breen come in and obviously Ja at the moment, and 327 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 5: that all just the one thing I've got in common 328 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 5: is that selflessness, and they give up their time to 329 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 5: make you a better athlete and person, and I really 330 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 5: want to sort of take what I learned from them 331 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 5: and pass that knowledge onto the next bunch of athletes 332 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 5: and have the same impact for them. 333 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 4: So yeah, natural regression, easy decision. 334 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. 335 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: It's such an important part of it, right, Like there's 336 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: so many incredible people that contribute to sport, like by 337 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: developing athletes, but as you said, like developing people like 338 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: it's such a key element of it that sometimes is 339 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: forgotten about. 340 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 4: Yea more than just a game. 341 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 5: It's you can be the best player, but you need 342 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 5: to have a good group of people as well.

We love hearing more pathways for women in coaching. 348 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: Can you tell us a bit about the academy. 349 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. 350 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 5: It's such a wonderful idea that World Rugby have partnered 351 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 5: with carol Isshwood, who leads the program to get more female. 352 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 4: Coaches in the game. 353 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 5: So World Rugby's vision is that they would like to 354 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 5: have forty percent female coaches at the twenty twenty five 355 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 5: World Cup. So for them to support that, they run 356 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 5: this academy and a person from every country sort of 357 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 5: gets selected to participate in this academy where you go 358 00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 5: through things such as game planning, analytics out sort of 359 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 5: exploring who you are as a person, being able to 360 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 5: communicate effectively, culture building, and you do that via workshops 361 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 5: with all the other individuals from around the world. So 362 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 5: you get to build this wonderful network of female coaches 363 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 5: from every country and you'll sort of be on a 364 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 5: zoom and there'll be interpreters from Russia or Spain doing 365 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 5: the language so everyone can participate at the same time, 366 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 5: So it's more than just learning coaching, it's building those 367 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 5: relationships with other powerful women across the globe and then 368 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 5: you get embedded in your national team. So I was 369 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 5: lucky enough to work with the Wallaroos at the WC 370 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 5: in New Zealand last year, and having that experience with 371 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 5: an international team, it's just priceless what you get out 372 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 5: of it, just totally embedded in the team and culture, 373 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 5: learning from coaches that are already at that international level. 374 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 5: It's Yeah, it's huge, and I'm very grateful for the 375 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 5: experience because what you take out of that going into 376 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 5: your sort of next coaching roles is enormous. 377 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: And it's such a powerful thing, right because I think 378 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: we talk a lot about more opportunities for female athletes 379 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: and better access to resources and medical equipment and training 380 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: facilities and whatever that looks like, but I think there's 381 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: so much off the field in terms of the staffing 382 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: and opportunities for women off the field in these coaching roles. 383 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: What do you think some of the big barriers might 384 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: have been historically? 385 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 5: Definitely, and I think there's a real sort of perceived 386 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 5: credibility people have with female coaches thinking that they're not 387 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 5: experienced enough for their knowledge is lesser than and that's 388 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 5: just a perceived notion that people already have going into it. 389 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 5: And then that creates for women that self doubt, the 390 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 5: imposter syndrome, which I got as soon as I got 391 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 5: accepted into the academy. I had those sorts of no, 392 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 5: I'm not ready for this, so I don't deserve to 393 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 5: be here. And I think a lot of that is 394 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 5: outside noise, like being told you don't have the experience, 395 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 5: you're not experienced enough, and I don't think male's experience 396 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 5: that to that degree. 397 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 4: You sort of apply for. 398 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 5: A job and confidence and you because you male and 399 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 5: had years experience playing and all this other stuff, you 400 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 5: get looked at a lot sooner. So I think that's 401 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 5: a big, big part of it is that perceived good ability, 402 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 5: and it's exactly what this program is trying to get 403 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 5: past that, that that barrier and those challenges and create 404 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 5: strong female coaches. 405 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: And we've seen that this year. It's actually been expanded 406 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: to include all formats of the game. So one of 407 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: my former Aussie seven's teammates, Shannon Parry, getting around in 408 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: the sevens format. Why do you think it's important that 409 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: World Rugby are taking this approach to include the whole 410 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: format of the game. 411 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 4: Yeah. 412 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 5: Rugby is such a global game in both fifteen's and sevens, 413 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 5: and I think it's a no brainer really that they 414 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 5: extend it to the sevens program. And I was lucky 415 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 5: enough to do a little bit of work wishon and 416 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 5: last year at the under eighteen's Australian Super w camp. 417 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 5: And she's a wonderful person and mentor and player, like 418 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 5: huge credibility as a player in both fifteens and seven 419 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 5: So it's enormous that she has now got this experience 420 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 5: coaching in the seventh round because I just think she 421 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 5: has so much two gives back and Simmons been an 422 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 5: Olympic sport. I think how good would it be to 423 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 5: see a bunch of women coaching at the Olympic Games. 424 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be awesome. 425 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would also love to see that. What's next 426 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 2: for you? 427 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: And do you have any big goals in your coaching 428 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: career that you're keen to tick off? 429 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. 430 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 5: So I'm lucky enough my mentor for this program. So 431 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 5: during this program you get a mentor that sort of 432 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 5: guides you and helps you along the different workshops that 433 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 5: you do that are both online and in person, and 434 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 5: mine is Tim Sampson who's the a tech coach. 435 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 4: For Rebels and work in with Rugby Vick. 436 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 5: Obviously it means that I'm in the same office with them, 437 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 5: so I've been able to do a lot of work 438 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 5: with them, just the ad hoc sessions of having little chats. 439 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 5: But that's led me to helping the Super W program 440 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 5: as a skills coach, and I've got goals of I'd 441 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 5: love to do that with the men's side. So there's 442 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 5: no female coaches in Super Rugby right now, so I'd 443 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 5: love to A huge goal would be to tick that 444 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 5: box off and work within the Super Rugby franchises, hopefully 445 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 5: be a head coach of Super W program and then 446 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 5: ultimately coach at the international level. 447 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 4: So those are my big big goals that I have 448 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 4: at the moment. 449 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 2: I love that I back you in any day of 450 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: the week. 451 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: I think you're You're an incredible You're incredible player, and 452 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: I imagine an incredible coach and just a really really 453 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: good person, and I'm really proud of you and all 454 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: the work. 455 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 2: You're doing in this space. 456 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: So really stoked for you and looking forward to seeing 457 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: you tick off some of those big goals that says. 458 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 5: You thank your legend and right AF sevens just bitter everything. 459 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 4: But I'm really really excited.
