Sport: The Chiefs' star exciting fans, Warriors break a drought

From Nine To Noon, 11:45 am on 18 June 2024

Stuff senior sports writer Marc Hinton previews the Super Rugby final between the Chiefs and the Blues this weekend.

The teams bring two contrasting styles, but eyes will be on Chiefs' number 8 Wallace Sititi after a breakout performance in Wellington last weekend. The Warriors get a man into the State of Origin for the first time in seven years, while the Black Caps underwhelm at the T20 World Cup.

Elsewhere Marc discusses the phenomenon of Caitlin Clark in the WNBA and why Bryson de Chambeau's US Open golf win was so hard on runner up Rory McIlroy.

Caitlin Clark poses with WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert after being selected first overall pick by the Indiana Fever during the 2024 WNBA Draft at Brooklyn Academy of Music on April 15, 2024 in New York City.
