Best of Kirst & Beav: 20th anniversary of Bay of Plenty's Ranfurly Shield win
By Finn James
It was another big week on The Run Home with hosts Kirstie Stanway and Stephen “Beaver” Donald.
Following a fourth straight Test loss to South Africa for the All Blacks, and a nail biting Ranfurly Shield match in the NPC, there was plenty of rugby to unpack.
But of course, rugby isn’t the only sport that dominates 3-6pm weekdays, right?
From Olympic speed climbing, to squash, and a trip down memory lane - this is the best from the week that was on SENZ's The Run Home with Kirst and Beav.
