This week we're joined by former Samoa rugby player Tu Nu'uali'itia in Auckland to discuss the first round of matches in the Northern hemisphere's top international competition, the Six Nations. Tu also pays tribute to former South African captain and scrum half Joost Van Der Westhuizen who lost his battle with Motor Neurone Disease at the weekend. Tu recalls playing opposite Joost in the 1995 Rugby World Cup quarter final in the year the Springboks went on to win the title. We also hear more from Paralympian, Anne Wafula Strike. In 2004 Anne became the first woman to represent Kenya in wheelchair racing at the Paralympic Games. Last week she told us about her sporting journey and memories of competing at the Paralympics. This time she tells us about the faith that is the foundation of her life.
