Starting as we mean to go on, the boys catch up with the All Blacks record cap-holder and stand-in skipper; super Sam Whitelock. Payno and Hask get into New Zealand’s rollercoaster year & ask what was really going on as they lost 4 in 5 games. We find out about the Whitelock rugby dynasty and his own amazing rise from club rugby to the iconic black jersey in just 12 months. We get the low-down on some of his illustrious teammates, the story behind a rather strange photo with a former Prime Minister of New Zealand & Sam reveals an unlikely hidden talent that blows the boys away. Oh, and Hask goes full fanboy & recalls the time he crashed their 2015 World Cup winning celebration party. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
