NZ Sporting History: The only twin to play in a RWC Final

Alan Whetton had an illustrious career as a Rugby Union player and All Black. He was part of the team that won the inaugural 1987 Rugby World cup. He played in that tournament alongside his brother Gary Whetton, earning them the accolade of being the only twins to win a Rugby World Cup together. Alan also played for the 'New Zealand Cavaliers' on their controversial 1986 tour of South Africa. The Cavaliers were put together after the NZRU declined to send an All Blacks squad to the then apartheid state.
