Gemma McCaw has made a surprise appearance on MediaWorks' breakfast show reading the morning sports news.
McCaw made her debut reading the 6am, 6.30am, 7am, 7.30am and 8am sports news and was praised by hosts Duncan Garner and Amanda Gillies.
The former Black Stick was asked by Garner to weigh in on the All Blacks' openside flanker debate, following the season-ending injury to Sam Cane.
"Openside flankers, we seem to be short of them. Do you know anything about this?" Garner cheekily asked Richie McCaw's wife.
