    The Pantheon (Blackcaps/A-League Derby/Kiwis vs Tonga)

    This week on the Niche Cast we touch on NZ Breakers being at the top of the NBL ladder and then we react to the Blackcaps Test series sweep in India. We discuss New Zealand's team contributions, fitness, the end of the golden generation and plenty more kiwi cricket including some Ford Trophy notes. Auckland FC defeated Wellington Phoenix in the Aotearoa A-League derby so we break it all down, from Alex Paulsen's defensive influence to the young Phoenix building. Then we roll through Flying Kiwis updates about Milly Clegg, Chris Wood, Katie Kitching, Michaela Foster and Tyler Bindon, before chatting about Tonga's experience, the young Kiwis, and the joys of international rugby league. And we polish things off with the sneaky signing of Tanah Boyd for NZ Warriors.

    Ancient Recipes (Blackcaps/Kiwis & Kiwi Ferns/A-League)

    This week on the Niche Cast we celebrate a Blackcaps Test series win and how tours of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka led to success in India. White Ferns tied up the ODI series with India and Ford Trophy is humming along with youngsters like Tim Robinson and Zak Foulkes lining up for the ODI/T20I tour of Sri Lanka. Chris Wood is still bagging goals and Elijah Just loves whipping in goals from outside the box, while Auckland FC and Wellington Phoenix both had wins in the A-League. We finish with New Zealand Kiwis and Kiwi Ferns losing to Australia which was a bummer, but they showed enough positive signs to build on and there is a fun young core of players settling into international rugby league.
