Laurie Mains: Former All Blacks head coach on the death of Norm Hewitt
Manage episode 429124379 series 2098282
Former All Blacks coach Laurie Mains is touting the late Norm Hewitt as one of New Zealand rugby's greats.
The nine-test hooker has died aged 55 after a battle with motor neurone disease, having played 23 games for New Zealand between 1993 and 1998.
After issues with alcohol abuse, Hewitt became an anti-violence ambassador and public speaker.
Mains says when he first selected Hewitt he was a bit of a 'larrikin'.
"I'd have to speak to him quite sternly - and he took that on board and into the team. Immediately, he showed not only good performance on the rugby field, but also he took a real turn in his personal behaviour."
