The Country Early Edition: Wiggy is involved with the CB Norwood Rural Sports Awards and the Hilux Rural Games which are both on this weekend.

Why is Dom George chatting to Craig "Wiggy" Wiggins on a Friday? Wiggins is back on the emcee trail and is in Palmerston North, so no time for a Saturday catch up.

So what is Wiggy up to? He's involved with the CB Norwood Rural Sports Awards and the Hilux Rural Games which are both on this weekend.

Wiggins is feeling "pretty privileged" to be part of the events, saying it's a real honour to be surrounded by such great agricultural athletes.

However, perhaps Craig Wiggins' greatest achievement this weekend is wrangling the shearing commentating off a certain Jamie Mackay...

Finally Dom and Wiggy chew the fat over burnoff season in mid-Canterbury and country of origin labelling for our food.
