This week on the Niche Cast we offer some musical jam and ponder what NZ Breakers are capable of in the NBL. We also chat through the best kiwis in Tauihi before covering all things Wellington Phoenix after the men won 3-0 vs Central Coast Mariners and women lost 0-1 to Canberra United. There are a few National League nuggets as well, then we discuss the Blackcaps T20I series in Sri Lanka and the start of Plunket Shield cricket. Logan van Beek may be the best player in domestic cricket and Bevon Jacobs is an all format batter for Auckland Aces. We finish with a Pacific Championship debrief for New Zealand Kiwis and Kiwi Ferns along with Kiwi-NRL/NRLWahine notes about Salesi Ataata at Rabbitohs, Jeremiah Mata'utia/Henry Teutau at Cowboys, Shaniece Monschau/Shaquaylah Mahakitau-Monschau at Bulldogs.
