This week on the Studs Up! podcast the lads take a closer look at the newest All Whites squad, with fresh faces and notable absences among the talking points.
Riccardo Ball and Daniel McHardy discuss the inclusion of young striker Stipe Ukich, who is playing in the Croatian top flight and is viewed as an exciting prospect for the future, with speed to burn.
The pair also examine Ukich’s first senior goal in the Croatian Cup and his potential as a different type of striker alongside Chris Wood.
The latest episode of Sport Nation's dedicated weekly football podcast also covers the latest Premier League controversies, including the VAR decision in the Manchester Derby, Bruno Fernandes and Phil Foden’s clash, and Arsenal’s penalty drama.
The boys also discuss Wellington Phoenix and Auckland FC signings, the form of All Whites Eli Just and Marco Stamenic for Swansea, and their latest EPL predictions.
