The patron of New Zealand Rugby (NZR), and All Blacks legend, shared his frustration at the direction our national game is heading in. Plus, we talked about weather and track conditions in his home farming patch of Poverty Bay.
Farmer Tom Martin:
Our UK farming correspondent talked about William Webb Ellis, Wayne Barnes and too much rain for British farmers.
