Today, they talked with former All Black Liam Messam about his tattoo designs.

"It's my taniwha that I carry with me and take with me everywhere really. It's there for life now," Messam explains.

The team also talks to legendary and now retired rower Eric Murray, who will be going to this year's Commonwealth games but this time in a different role.
