New Zealand are Over-60s World Cricket champions after the just-completed World Cup in Canada.

The final against England was washed out, meaning the two teams shared the title, but New Zealand were the only unbeaten team among the 14 nations at the tournament.

And leading them was Nelson-based Mason Robinson, who has been named tournament MVP after scoring 370 runs at an average of more than 84.

That included an unbeaten century against the United States, three fifties, and a string of highly consistent performances throughout the tournament.

He also took five catches and effected four stumpings as the side's wicketkeeper, and he joined Piney to reflect on the team's success.

The Warriors are flying to the finish of the NRL season. 

They're currently sitting second on the ladder and have a genuine shot at taking home a minor premiership crown - something they haven't achieved since 2002. 

Logan Swann was a Warrior at the time, and told Piney it was such a good achievement for them, and he can only imagine how the current team is feeling at this point.  

He says taking home the minor premiership is so good for the fans, good for the country, and good for the game of rugby league.

As the Greatest Rivalry Tour continues, Piney looks back on previous All Blacks tours of South Africa. 

All Blacks legend Bill Osborne was only 21 years old during the 1976 tour, in which he played in two test matches off the bench. 

Apartheid was still in place at the time of the tour, and Osborne told Piney he was pretty naive about it, but made an effort to visit communities and form new thoughts about it. 

He says initially his overriding thoughts were about representing the All Blacks jersey and making it even greater, but politics couldn't be ignored, and they learned a lot about humanity.

The All Blacks are on a roll as Rugby's Greatest Rivalry moves to Cape Town. 

The Springboks will be out for revenge after the All Blacks claimed victory last weekend at Ellis Park, but the Kiwi side will be hoping for a repeat performance. 

Former Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer told Piney that it was one of the strangest games he's ever seen, as it felt like South Africa was in control right up until the last twenty minutes. 

He says the All Blacks had had three games prior to improve as a team, and the Springboks didn't have that time. 

"The All Blacks were just so much sharper, so much more battle-ready."
