In this Intrepid Journey, All Black turned television presenter Glen Osborne tackles two central Asian countries he's never heard of — former Soviet territories Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Beginning in Uzbekistan's capital Tashkent, the most populous city in Central Asia, Osborne skips the architecture in favour of connecting with locals. A Turkish massage tests his limits, and a veteran wrestler tests his strength. In Kyrgyzstan, he's a physical education teacher for a day, and the kids have never had a better rugby trainer. In the countryside, Osborne gets up close to an eagle on the hunt.
