BLACK FERNS IN
ACTION The Churchill Cup was established in 2001 after a five year agreement between Rugby Canada, Rugby USA and the Rugby Football Union (England) to hold an annual rugby tournament in North America between the nations Senior Men’s and Women’s sides. After a successful tour of Canada last year, the NZ Māori and Black Ferns were invited to join the tournament.
“The Black Ferns are one of the top four women’s rugby teams in the world,” says Wilcox. “The other three will be at the CHURCHILL CUP so it will be a very interesting time for them there. The women show the same flair and skill that the men do and they’ll be demonstrating that with our live coverage on the field.” Wilcox and Mackey will be filing other stories from Canada including interviews with past Māori rugby players, stories of Māori living in Canada and possibly interviews with native Canadian Indians on indigenous issues and sport. The first weekend of the tournament sees the NZ Māori up against the USA, with the Black Ferns also facing the USA the following day. Weekend two of the tournament, to be broadcast in New Zealand on Sunday 20 June, features third and fourth place play-offs and the men’s and women’s finals. Wilcox and Mackey will provide the live game commentary from Canada along with stories for the channel’s nightly news programme Te Kaea. The channel will also broadcast its sports news bulletin out of Edmonton, Canada, on Saturday 19 June.
