Sportswriters Brett McKay and Ryan O’Connell are riding the Black Caps’ wave of emotion in Episode 67 of the Cheap Seats podcast.
The biggest talking point of the weekend was the homophobic slurs made in the Waratahs vs Brumbies game on the weekend, and the boys go into great depth to explain why this kind of homophobic language needs to stop.
Then there’s the issue of David Pocock potentially having this held against him should the Wallabies captaincy come up again.
(We even talk about some actual rugby as well.)
The Cricket World Cup continues, and since our last podcast, we’ve seen some of the most remarkable ODI cricket ever played (possible hyperbole alert). New Zealand have beaten South Africa in the first semi, Martin Guptill is a batting legend, and the Australia vs India semi is previewed, so listen quickly, before the game starts.
We touch on the big and small issues in the NRL – including Ryan’s ‘elderly’ position on head-patting – and speak ill of the Canberra vs St George Illawarra game.
This week’s #AskTheCheapSeats includes questions on Brett’s power bills, the Duckworth/Lewis system, and the state of scrums – and the adjudicating of scrums – in Super Rugby.
Plus, more AFL court action, Steven Gerrard sees red, and Brett does actual NBA research about retiring legend Steve Nash.
Don’t forget, you can still join the Cheap Seats Tipping League. Beating these two isn’t difficult.
