On today’s episode, Martin Devlin delves into the prickly subject of racism in sports, after All Whites defender Michael Boxall was allegedly racially abused by a Qatari player on-field during New Zealand’s international football friendly with Qatar on Tuesday morning (New Zealand time). As a result, the New Zealand players refused to take the field in the second half. Football correspondent Miles Davis and experienced coach Chris Milicich both join the show to share their thoughts.
Plus, Martin catches up with Chiefs camp and chats to assistant coach Nick White as they gear up for the Super Rugby Pacific final against the Crusaders, talkSPORT cricket editor Jon Norman joins the show to cover off day four of the first Ashes test, and Mark Watson is back and firing on the ATM (Apologise to Me!) podcast, taking aim at the Blues in particular this week. All that and much more!’
