Former All Black Doug Rollerson has lost his battle with cancer.
Fairfax Media has reported that the 63-year-old died last night.
Rollerson played 24 games for the All Blacks between 1976 and 1981.
He played 91 games for Manawatu and kicked the match-winning drop goal when the province won the Ranfurly Shield for the first time in 1976.
He was diagnosed with inoperable prostate cancer in 2010.
