Ex-All Black Keven Mealamu and former Silver Fern Adine Wilson have been named among the nine board members of the new Integrity Sport and Recreation Commission.
Mealamu made 132 appearances for the All Blacks between 2002 and 2015, including winning two World Cups. He has been a member of the Drugfree Sport New Zealand (DFSNZ) Board since 2017 and was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to rugby networks in 2016.
Wilson represented New Zealand as a Silver Fern from 1999 to 2007 and was captain for two years. She played a total of 79 tests and also played for the Southern Sting and the Otago Rebels.
The board will be chaired by leading sports lawyer Don Mackinnon. It will also include chair of Drug Free Sport NZ Tim Castle, and industry leader and company director Traci Houpapa, who in 2016 was named in the BBC’s top 100 most influential women in the world.
