Billy Bush played 37 games for the All Blacks between 1974 and 1979, achieved a century of games for Canterbury and captained for the Māori All Blacks.

Since his playing days, he has been involved in the sport as a coach and an administrator. 

His services to rugby have also resulted in being appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, and he is a life member of the NZ Māori Rugby Board.

Now 74, he drives buses on long haul runs around the South Island. His new book Billy Bush: A Front Row View on Life  has been co written with Phil Gifford.
