Jim Fisher Legacy in Rugby League | Christchurch News

Rugby league mourns the loss of Jim Fisher, Kiwi number 423 and Canterbury legend, who passed away at 85 after a storied career that began at just 18. A key figure in the 1971 tour triumph over Great Britain and France, Fisher played all six Tests and earned eight international caps. Beyond the field, he captained Canterbury and later returned to lead Eastern Suburbs as captain-coach. His legacy is one of grit, pride, and enduring influence — especially poignant amid the recent passing of teammate Mocky Brereton. Fisher’s name will forever be etched in Kiwi rugby league history.
