Best of Kirst & Beav: Fiji head coach Mick Byrne, Olympics broadcasting veteran Brendan Telfer

Another jam-packed week on The Run Home with Kirstie Stanway and Stephen 'Beav' Donald following the All Blacks' first test series win under Scott Robertson against England.

A slew of amazing guests on the show this week, as the ABs gear up for their third test of the season against Fiji in San Diego. But rugby wasn’t the only topic dominating the show this week, with plenty to unpack throughout the week.

MICK BYRNE:
The All Blacks are gearing up to play their third Test of the season against Fiji at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego.

Kirst and Beav were joined by Fijian head coach Mick Byrne as he shares how he has prepared his team for Saturday afternoon's (NZ time) massive contest.

Byrne also lays out his plan for the side moving forward and how important the Drua have been in the revival of Fijian rugby.

JAMIE TOUT:
New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport general manager Jamie Tout joined Kirst and Beav for a deep dive into the world of sports and exercise science.
Tout unpacks what he likes to call the “farm” of multiple successful Wellington-based sports teams and athletes.

A fascinating look into the behind-the-scenes of one of the best sporting facilities in the world and a breeding ground for the future athletes of Kiwi sport.

BRENDAN TELFER:
Sports broadcasting legend Brendan Telfer has been to 10 Olympic games dating back to Montreal 1976 and recounts some of his favourite stories from his time calling the world’s greatest athletes.

With Paris 2024 less than a week away, Kirst and Beav were lucky enough to chat with the great man and relive some of those incredible memories.
