“Impossible.  It can’t be done”, they said.  Yet all it took to prove the pundits wrong was two average sporting blokes talking crap.  And out of such determination, the irreverent State of Play was created.

 

Aaron Nagel and Keith Miller get together to talk sport (and a few other completely irrelevant bits and pieces) each Saturday morning from 8am-10am on Kiwi FM.
