Former All Black Andrew Hore is on today's show due to Jamie Mackay's accidental text. Photo / File.

Former All Black Andrew Hore spoke to The Country today about two of this favourite things - farming and footy.

These days Hore is a Maniototo farmer which took a bit of getting used to after the highs of being an international rugby star. However, he admits spending time lambing on a hillside with his dog is better than tackling the media scrutiny today's All Blacks deal with.

Also in this interview: Jamie, Andrew and Craig Cumming talk a bit of cricket, rugby, farming and politics and Mackay confesses the reason Hore is on the show is because he accidentally texted him instead of Federated Farmers Vice President Andrew Hoggard... awkward.
