"His insight into the early 80s was invaluable and his advice on how to tackle a sex scene I had to do on a retro water bed was classic.
"He said the most important thing to remember was to make sure the woman first takes off her stilettos, or the bed could spring a leak. He seemed to know exactly what he was talking about.
"He said it then should be head down, bum up and get the job done because those old water beds could be treacherous."
The All Black winger well remembers the division the tour caused among families, including his own.
"My wife at the time, Robyn, actually protested on the front line at the second test in Wellington," Wilson told the Herald on Sunday. "I said to her 'Good luck' and she went off to the protest while I was inside the ground having a different type of battle with the Springboks."
He also recalled when a flour bomb and flares were dropped on the field and trying to kick a bomb to the side of the pitch. "I also had to have a couple of fish hooks removed from my thigh by the physio because tennis balls that had been cut in half, filled with hooks then stuck back together had also been thrown on to the pitch.
"It was a crazy time but I've been impressed with the way it is portrayed on Westside. It has sure brought memories flooding back."
