Regarding Frank. I was drinking in the same bar as he was about 10 years ago in Palmerston North, on leaving and walking up the road we got talking about him . My friend was totally in awe of Frank, being a true Rugby-Head, but being drunk and foolish I said something like "He don't look that tough to me, I'll go and give him a kiss" and off I ran.

Luckily I got heldback/restrained before I could carry out my intentions.  In hindsight I don't think my affection was what Frank wanted that night and he would no doubt have made that very clear.

RIP Frank Oliver
