It's always good to catch up with Beaver and chat about old times and new.  We talk about his new business venture with a couple of old All Black and Chiefs team-mates, GRINS, and what the future holds for them.

He shares his career-high, of kicking that winning kick in the 2011 Rugby World Cup after being called up from enjoying his off-season before taking a contract overseas.  He also shares the lows when he was widely criticized in his last game for the All Blacks.  He talks of his learnings from that time and how he was able to deal with and overcome the big hit to his confidence.

We also talk about his time at his beloved Counties Manukau and how he is a proud Waiuku man, born and bred, and has recently moved back to his hometown to raise his own young family.

Tune in to hear some good learnings from his stories.
