NZ Sporting History: Sir Wayne 'Buck' Shelford

Afternoons

Former All Blacks captain Sir Wayne 'Buck' Shelford joins us for this week's Sporting History. Sir Wayne's career in Rugby Union includes joining the New Zealand Cavaliers on their controversial tour of apartheid South Africa and winning the inaugural 1987 Rugby World Cup. He then captained the All Blacks for a three year, 14 game unbeaten streak Buck is also credited with revitalising the Ka Mate haka the All Blacks perform before matched. Teaching the team the correct tikanga. Oh and there's also the infamous "Battle of Nantes" which resulted in Sir Wayne 'Buck' Shelford being knocked out, losing several teeth and a testicle!
