Former All Blacks captain Wayne ‘Buck’ Shelford and legendary lock forward Sir Colin Meads, considered among the world’s greatest-ever players, are the guests for this special evening at the home of the Leicester Tigers on Wednesday, November 6, and organised by Tight 5 Events.
Shelford made his Test debut for the All Blacks in 1986, was a member of the squad that lifted the Rugby World Cup a year later and took over as captain following the tournament and staying unbeaten in that role for three years.
Later, he played for Northampton Saints and coached in Italy and England before returning to New Zealand.
