John was my coach in 1989, taking the Canterbury University Under 19 team to a Championship victory. That was my most enjoyable rugby season, and I am grateful to John for the role he played. RIP John.

John was my coach when playing for Canterbury University back in the 1970s and I well remember his encouragement from the sidelines! Probably the best rugby season of my life. Just heard of his death now. All the best to the family.
