'Run It Straight' Debate Gets Us FIRED UP ft. Ali Williams (Season 2 Premiere)

Sportscafe is BACK for Season 2, and we’re running it straight. Marc Ellis, Ric Salizzo, Leigh Hart, and Lana Coc-Kroft return to your screens with a chaotic new season of NZ’s loosest sports show. It’s viral trends, big debates, questionable steaks, and classic Sportscafe banter. This week we dive headfirst into the Run It Straight phenomenon that’s blowing up online. Plus, special guest Ali Williams joins us — now owner of Auckland FC — to talk rugby, football, and share some inappropriate stories from his time in Japan. 👊 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe — this is episode 1/10 on our New Zealand farewell tour. 00:00 – We're Back! 01:50 – Remembering Bull Rush 03:55 – Run It Straight: The Viral Trend 07:25 – Run It Straight: Big Hits 10:25 – Macca’s Hot Take on Rugby 16:05 – Ali Williams Joins the Show 19:59 – Ali on Football Growth 23:56 – Macca vs. Lion 27:15 – Moana Pasifika 34:12 – TAB Picks of the Week 38:08 – Macca’s Nuts**k Story 40:27 – Macca’s Clips of the Week
