“Buck” Shelford captured the imagination of the New Zealand rugby public during his six years in the All Blacks, during which he played 48 times and was unbeaten as test captain between 1988 and 1990.
Shelford was a “follow me” leader who led by an example of strength and determination and, at times, no little courage.
Shelford was first selected for the All Blacks in 1985, became an integral member of the winning World Cup team in 1987 and later that year, took over the captaincy.

Shelford joined the unauthorized Cavaliers tour of South Africa in 1986 and, when he was eligible again for the All Blacks, was chosen for the second test against Australia but had to withdraw because of injury.
Shelford then led the All Blacks on one of their great periods of domination, going through unbeaten from 1987 to 1990, with only a drawn test against Australia in 1988 to mar the perfect record.
By the beginning of 1990, however, Shelford's form was not as dominant as it had been and after two tests against Scotland he was dropped, prompting a public outcry.

The day Wayne Shelford was formally announced as the new Head Coach at Saracens, I gave him a lift from the Vicarage Road press conference back to the Bramley Road training ground.
Shelford made no bones about the fact that, as he saw it, his squad were patently not up to the job of winning Zurich Premiership rugby matches.
There are so many similarities when it comes to the tenures of Pienaar and Shelford: both successful leaders on the field, but came with no coaching reputation; both single-minded and brusque; both ultimately disliked by their players; both failures when it came to results on the field.

If ever there was one moment when Wayne "Buck" Shelford embedded his name forever into rugby's rich history, it was during the infamous "Battle of Nantes" in 1986.
The French public were gobsmacked as an over-eager pitchside cameraman filmed the stomach-turning surgery, and even more so when Shelford returned to the field and carried on playing.
