Jesse Randall: Auckland FC winger and All White on the Derby win and call up for the national side
It was a whirlwind weekend for Jesse Randall. On the Saturday the Auckland FC winger was the star of the Kiwi derby, tormenting the Wellington Phoenix with his pace, as he made one goal for Sam Cosgrove then scored the second himself, which was decisive in the 2-1 win. Then, on Sunday morning, he got a phone call from national coach Darren Bazeley, telling him to get ready for a flight to Houston the following day, as a late call-up for the All Whites. Randall told Piney it came as a bit of a surprise, but a nice one. “I’m always ready to pick up the phone if it’s being rung by [Bazeley].” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Emma Twigg: Olympic rower on her shift to coastal rowing, plans for the 2028 Olympic Games
Emma Twigg is on track for her sixth Olympic Games. She’s shifted her attention from flat water rowing to coastal rowing, which makes its debut at the 2028 LA Olympic Games. Last week saw her claim the women’s title at the World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals in Turkey, setting her up for a shot at the 2028 Games. She told Piney her aim of starting in the sport was to reinvigorate and do something a bit different and challenging. “If it’s still me winning in LA, then I’d love to be there, and equally, if someone has surpassed me by that stage, then that would be a real win for the sport as well.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
