How can you not love sport when a week like this comes along?
From the All Blacks defending Eden Park and looking to carry momentum into the capital, to the Netball New Zealand bombshell of Dame Noeline Taurua being stood down as Silver Ferns coach, Millsy, Guy and Lashes were there with you riding shotgun through all the big moments. Here’s the best from the week that was on Millsy and Guy.
Mike Sandle
How does a background in policing help transition into the world of professional sports management? Millsy and Guy explored that question in an extended conversation with Blackcaps Performance Manager Mike Sandle. He shared his journey from the police force into rugby management and eventually to the Blackcaps, along with some incredible stories from his time working across both codes.
Alan Whetton
It’s been nearly 40 years since the “Match of the Century,” when Auckland triumphed over Canterbury in front of a packed Lancaster Park to win the Ranfurly Shield. One of the standout players from that day was Alan Whetton, representing Auckland. He joined Millsy and Lashes to share his memories of that unforgettable match.
Yvette McCausland-Durie
Following the news of Dame Noeline Taurua being stood down as head coach of the Silver Ferns, Millsy and Lashes caught up with interim coach Yvette McCausland-Durie. She spoke about stepping into the role ahead of the upcoming Taini Jamison series against South Africa and what lies ahead for the team.
