Sulu Fitzpatrick: The reality of retiring probably hasn't hit me yet

On the Weekend Sport with Jason Pine Full Show Podcast for 4th April 2026, the Crusaders have farewelled their temporary home at Addington – CEO Colin Mansbridge talks about what the stadium has meant for the city. 

Bev Priestman has led the Wellington Phoenix women to their first ever playoffs and their best ever regular season. She joined Piney to reflect on the team's success. 

And Adam Peacock reflects on a scarcely believable first outing for new Manly Sea Eagles head coach, Kieran Foran.

The Wellington Phoenix women have booked tickets to their first A-League playoffs with a 2-nil win over hosts Adelaide in their last regular-season match. 

Brooke Nunn delivered the cross for the first goal in the 30th minute before putting herself in position for the second not long after. 

Sitting in second, they're all but guaranteed direct entry into the semifinals. 

Head Coach Bev Priestman told Piney the team should be immensely proud of the way they stepped up and performed in a context that is traditionally difficult for the visiting team.

Eyebrows have been raised over Super Rugby Pacific’s light schedule for the Easter weekend. 

Only three matches were scheduled – the Crusaders v Fijian Drua, the Chiefs v Waratahs, and the Reds v Force.  

CEO Jack Mesley told Piney they faced quite a few scheduling difficulties for the weekend when they were initially building the draw. 

He says that the sporting landscape is very competitive over Easter, and while some might think they’re losing out, others could say they’d be missing a trick to go up against it, and that they’re being quite strategic about how they place their matches and how they compete. 

“We’re pretty confident with what we’ve rolled out.”
