Sir Colin Meads was at the New Zealand Shearing Championships in Te Kuiti over the weekend where he was able to watch Rowland Smith in action.
The Country's Jamie Mackay said it was good to see the rugby legend out and about after his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer last year meant he was "pretty crook".
Jamie wants to know if Pinetree's battle with pancreatic cancer has stopped his enjoyment of his three favourite things; rugby, racing and beer.
Sir Colin says he's allowed the odd tipple in moderation (doctor's orders) and he still has a great passion for the nags and the footy.
