It's been another busy week on The Run Home with Kirstie Stanway and Stephen “Beaver” Donald.
The All Blacks hit Dublin this week following their tight win over England on the weekend.
Ireland wants revenge for their quarter-final exit at the Rugby World Cup last year, but for veteran rugby commentator Grant Nisbett, this Test match holds extra significance - his 350th All Blacks match call.
The Blackcaps completed a historic series sweep of India in their own backyard - arguably the greatest result in New Zealand cricket history.
Kirst and Beav caught up with two key factors involved in that record breaking effort, with Daryl Mitchell and Matt Henry phoning in to give their retrospective on a special NZ sporting achievement.
We were also joined by the voice of NZ basketball Andrew Mulligan to examine what's behind the Breakers' astonishing start to the NBL season.
