Whitney Hansen, daughter of former All Blacks coach Sir Steve Hansen, was named as the new Black Ferns head coach. 

In her first year she will oversee 11 tests and a historic British & Irish Lions Series in 2027.

"She knows what she wants to do and when she wants to do it and, you know, I think it's important that your kids make their own decisions about where they want to go and what they want to do," Sir Steve Hansen told D'Arcy Waldegrave.

Drama and a technical issue in the Ashes yesterday, with Alex Carey scoring a welcomed century as Australia ended the day at 326-8, but he should've been out when he was on 72.

England used a review on a caught behind as they thought they heard a sound - the microphones on the stumps showed a clear noise but was shown on the replay as happening before the ball passed the bat resulting in a not out call.

Afterwards, Carey admitted that he had hit the ball and the company that owns Snicko concluded that the operator at the time must have chosen the incorrect stump mic for audio processing. 

Sir Ian Taylor is known for his work with televised sport - and he joined D'Arcy to discuss.
