Former All Black Pita Alatini will hit the HYUNDAI CODEHYUNDAI CODE couch tomorrow night to talk about life in Japan post tsunami after he, wife Megan, and their children were caught up in last month’s tragedy.

HYUNDAI CODEHYUNDAI CODE producer Fiona Apanui-Kupenga says Pita will talk about the aftermath of the tragedy, how it affected his family and friends and helping with the clean up and plans to return to Japan when the rugby season resumes.

Tomorrow night’s HYUNDAI CODEHYUNDAI CODE will be a family affair for Pita, with his sister-in-law musician Meryl Cassie on set singing up a storm during the show.

With four guests instead of the usual three, Fiona says there will be a strong line up this week. The former All Black will be joined on the HYUNDAI CODEHYUNDAI CODE couch by Blues player Luke Braid and top Olympic swimmers – kiwi Hayley Palmer and former Australian world record holder Marieke Guerher – who are preparing for this weekend’s ANZAC swim to raise money for the Christchurch earthquake relief fund.
