Rugby is mourning the passing of former All Blacks doctor John Mayhew. 

Mayhew has passed away after heart complications, at the age of 70. 

He served as the All Blacks doctor between 1988 and 2004 before moving to the Warriors for 15 years. 

Former All Black Captain Sean Fitzpatrick told Mike Hosking Mayhew was very much part of the team, both on and off the field.  

He says he was a lovely man, a confidant, very calm, and managed to bring humour to very tense situations.
