Summary
This week, Dave sits down with All Black legend Frank Bunce to share the stories behind his extraordinary life and career. After years of missing rep teams, Frank thought his dream of becoming an All Black was over. Until he represented Samoa at the 1991 Rugby World Cup, then he got a call from Laurie Mains that changed everything. What followed was a front-row seat to one of the greatest eras in rugby history — playing in the unforgettable 1995 Rugby World Cup, sharing the field with Jonah Lomu, fierce Bledisloe battles, and memories of great mates like Peter Fatialofa & Eric Rush. This kōrero is filled with hilarious, untold stories behind one of rugby's greatest eras. Enjoy.
