Walsh played in a total of 27 games for his country
|
Former All Black Pat Walsh, who played 13 Tests in four positions between 1955 and 1963, had died at the age of 71.
He became the second-youngest player to represent New Zealand at the age of 19 years and 106 days when he made his debut against Australia.
Walsh played at inside centre in that match and went on to also feature at fly-half, full-back and on the wing.
He played at full-back and centre in the All Blacks' seminal series victory at home to South Africa in 1956.
Walsh made his last tour with New Zealand to Britain with Wilson Whineray's All Blacks in 1963 but a knee injury sustained on that tour eventually ended his
playing career.
He served as an All Blacks selector from 1969 to 1971.
