The best of Kirst & Beav: Lulu Sun's Wimbledon heroics, Big Jim Hamilton and more

Kirstie Stanway and Stephen 'Beav' Donald have enjoyed another cracking week on SENZ's The Run Home with the All Blacks preparing for their first Test match of the year against England.

Scott 'Razor' Robertson's first Test in charge of the national team has dominated the conversation throughout the week as Kirst and Beav chat to a slew of rugby personalities, but the black jersey isn’t the only show in town.

Kiwi tennis sensation Lulu Sun is making her mark at Wimbledon, and one of our greatest ever women’s rugby players is set to hang up her boots, for internationals at least.

This is the best from the week that was on The Run Home:

Portia Woodman-Wickliffe:

Kirst and Beav were lucky enough to speak to Black Ferns superstar winger Portia Woodman-Wickliffe as she announced that the Paris Olympics will be her last hooray in a black jersey.

Portia highlights her career and the highs and lows of being at the top of her game, and the drive to end on a golden note in a few weeks' time.

David Long:

Lulu Sun, a name most Kiwis probably weren’t familiar with until this week, has stormed onto the world tennis stage with her heroics at Wimbledon with a massive first round upset.

Kirst and Beav were joined by Stuff senior sports reporter David Long, who is over in London for the grass court Grand Slam.

A journalist with a long-running passion and history of covering tennis, David shares Lulu’s story in the New Zealand tennis world and how she came to represent the Fern despite her Swiss links.

Big Jim Hamilton:

Former Scotland rugby international and rugby podcaster extraordinaire Big Jim Hamilton chats code with Kirst and Beav - what a treat this was!

From memories of a wonderful World Cup experience in France, to the current state of rugby union, Jim shares some incredibly eloquent insight and thoughts, including the Test series between the All Blacks and England.

Grab yourself a drink and get comfortable for a must-listen interview for all fans of international rugby.
