What was your favourite part about interviewing a couple of All Blacks and Black Ferns? Meeting the All Blacks in general, learning about them. The Black Fern sisters were cool too, you could see that they loved each other and did so many things together that it made it easier for the job.<\/p>\n

Were you nervous about giving reporting and interviewing a go? No, not really, no.<\/p>\n

What is your advice to other Kiwi kids who also want to try something new? One step at a time.<\/p>\n

We also heard you on the radio. How was that experience? Amazing \u2013 that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favourite breakfast? Truthfully, Weet-Bix is up there, but chocolate cake!<\/p>\n

How do you like to have your Weet-Bix? First of all, I put three in if I\u2019m hungry, two if I\u2019m not, then I put the milk in, then a truck load of sugar.<\/p>\n

How many kids get to meet their sporting heroes and ask them the hard questions? For Filoialii, a young Kiwi reporter with a big smile and even bigger confidence, it was just another day on the job with Kea Kids News.<\/p>\n

Filo recently joined a commercial shoot to interview Black Ferns Alana and Chelsea Bremner, and All Blacks Scott Barrett and Ardie Savea, on a very important topic: who\u2019s the biggest Weet-Bix kid!<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Weet-Bix \u2013 they\u2019re so yum,\u201d says Filo, who\u2019s already something of a veteran on camera, having starred in several Kea Kids News videos.<\/p>\n

Asked what it was like to meet the All Blacks and Black Ferns up close, Filo lit up. \u201cMeeting the All Blacks in general and learning about them was my favourite part,\u201d he says. \u201cThe Black Fern sisters were cool too. You could tell they loved each other and did lots together \u2013 it made the job easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also recently took to the airwaves, appearing on radio to talk about his experience \u2013 another proud moment. \u201cAmazing,\u201d he says. \u201cThat was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

For other Kiwi kids thinking about trying something new, Filo keeps it simple: \u201cOne step at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

And when it comes to breakfast, Filo keeps it real. \u201cWeet-Bix is up there,\u201d he admits, \u201cbut chocolate cake is pretty good too!\u201d<\/p>\n

His Weet-Bix method? \u201cThree if I\u2019m hungry, two if I\u2019m not. Then milk\u2026 and sugar.\u201d<\/p>\n
