On today’s episode, Martin Devlin goes in to bat for the FIFA women’s World Cup, exclaiming his enjoyment of the tournament so far and its incredible attendance and viewing figures. Experienced Australian football commentator Simon Hill joins the show to preview the four quarter-finals as well.
Plus, former Black Cap and cricket commentator Simon Doull shares his thoughts on pace bowler Trent Boult’s inclusion in the New Zealand ODI squad to take on England, and whether or not skipper Kane Williamson should be named for the upcoming one-day World Cup. Also, former Wallabies fullback Greg Martin talks moving houses, last weekend’s Bledisloe Cup rugby test, and the fanfare attached to the Matildas. All that and much more!

People are going because it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to see live an international competition of the best women players in the world. It’s not about the standard of play necessarily, just the spectacle and there being something significant ie WWC once in 4 years at stake.
