By RugbyPass
In the third episode of our RugbyPass legends series, Martin Devlin sits down with former All Black Alan Whetton to discuss his storied career.
Watch as 65-time All Black Alan Whetton details how he became an All Black and the national side's first World Cup run in 1987.
The 58-year-old former flanker also discusses the impact of fellow All Black and Auckland flanker Michael Jones, and sheds light on his time as part of the controversial New Zealand Cavaliers side that toured South Africa in 1986, which saw him receive a two-match ban for his participation.

Paddy T is playing the best footy of his career off the bench, and he’s a leader.
Straight swap: Paddy in for Scott, Scott to the bench.
But I’m loving Tuipolotu as an impact sub.
Go to commentsWhats that team then? Are Clarke or Tele'a likely to come back? Proctor didn't return to the squad did he?
I'd like see the young fullbacks play fullback, and so Jordan cover on the wing instead. Even seeing Reiks on the other wing would be cool, Reece can go back on the bench if theres even room for him there.
So preferably it would be ALB and second five where he came of the bench in the weekend and was great. He's a bit slow on the play for outside center but looks like he might need to play there if we need wingers.
Cane really sounds like he'll bit fit, is he going to want to play? I'd really like to see Kirifi earn a cap if Lakai was the only 7 (Ardie has to be all used up/finished for the year). Which young lock are we going to see come in?
No team lists here, that's kid games...
