He captained New Zealand in the early 1990s, and during this period he brought many innovations, such as opening with spin bowlers and utilising pinch hitting batsmen. In 2009 he married former Miss Universe Lorraine Downes. In 2010, he also set up College 1st XV Rugby on the Rugby Channel which is still being covered weekly during New Zealand winters.
