Buccaneer Rugby had a special guest in the form of All Black legend Mark (Cowboy) Shaw who played 70 tests for NZ – 17 against the Wallabies – he was coaxed to the bar after the match where he told a few stories of his playing days – he rated Simon Poidevin the Wallaby flanker the hardest opposition he ever played against.
