Wynne Gray talks to All Black great Stu Wilson, he ended his All Black career as captain on the '83 tour when the side drew with Scotland and lost to England. He reckons Murray Mexted was supposed to be skipper but passed on that honour. The next year Wilson and his mate Bernie Fraser put out a book and in taking the proceeds, were banned from rugby for seven years. Eventually they got an official IRB pardon before four years later the same group decided the game would go professional.
