His last appearance for England was in the 1987 Rugby World Cup against Wales in Brisbane, losing 16–3. In total he won twelve caps for England in addition to his three for New Zealand. [2]

He played his club rugby with Harlequins, and after retiring had an executive role with them. [1]

Since retiring from rugby, he has worked for Sky Sports and ITV and also has a column in The Daily Telegraph. [3]
