Former All Blacks captain Stu Wilson has died, aged 70.

Wilson, who could play centre or wing, made 85 appearances for the All Blacks between 1976-83, including 34 tests, two of which he captained.

He made nine overseas tours, including that with the 1978 Grand Slam team which beat all four Home Unions. He was captain in all eight matches of the 1983 tour of England and Scotland.

He also represented Wellington at provincial level, where he played 89 matches, scoring 54 tries between 1975-84.

During his time, Wellington would win two National Provincial titles in 1978 and 1981, the latter year also saw them hold the Ranfurly Shield.

Legendary rugby commentator Grant Nisbett, a friend of Wilson's, joined Nick Mills to reflect on his legacy.
