Former All Black and New Zealand Rugby Union chairman Jock Hobbs will be farewelled today.
The funeral service for Hobbs will be held at Wellington's Old St Paul's church at 1pm.
New Zealand's Super Rugby franchises - the Chiefs, Hurricanes and Highlanders playing in New Zealand and the Blues in
South Africa - and Kiwi match officials have shown their respect for Hobbs by wearing black armbands at games this weekend.
Teammates in the Chiefs vs Brumbies game observed a minute's silence at Baypark Stadium.
The Crusaders have a bye so will pay respect at their first home game against the Cheetahs next Saturday.
