Sir John Kirwan

Today's guest is one of New Zealand's greats.  Sir John Kirwan is a household name being an All Black great having played 63 tests for the All Blacks scoring 35 tries – one of the highest scoring players in history.   He's coached in the Auckland Blues, Italy, Japan, the Barbarians.
