NZ Sporting History: the netball lift that changed the game!

From Afternoons, 2:25 pm on 26 May 2022

It's been 10 years since former Silver Fern Anna Harrison stunned the netball world with a rugby line-out style lift to block a shot at goal.

The so-called 'Harrison Hoist' came when the Nothern Mystics were taking on the Melbourne Vixens in May 2012.

It dominated the sports headlines and divided opinion about whether it was in the spirit of the game and whether it would catch on.

RNZ sports reporter Bridget Tunnicliffe joins Wallace discuss that historical move.
