Extremely sad news today that former All Black flanker Jock Hobbs has passed away aged 52 after losing his fight with cancer.
I'm afraid that I am not au fait enough with his work as an administrator and ambassador for NZ rugby to comment, but I am old enough to remember Hobbs as a player. I recall in particular how he came into the All Black team against the Lions in 1983, replacing the retired legend that was Graham Mourie - and the biggest compliment I can pay him was that the All Blacks didn't appear to miss Mourie one little bit.
