    Former All Blacks captain Stu Wilson has died aged 70 in Tauranga

    Former All Blacks captain Stu Wilson has died aged 70 in Tauranga


    Wilson - known as one of the country's greatest wingers - made 85 appearances for New Zealand, including 34 tests, between 1976 and 1983.

    He scored a then-record 19 tries from his first against France at Paris in 1977...



    ... to his last against the Lions at Auckland in 1983.



    Post rugby, Wilson often worked as a commentator and presenter.
