Brian John McKechnie (born November 6 1953 in Gore, Southland, New Zealand) was a "double All Black", that is, he represented New Zealand in both rugby union and cricket. He played 26 matches with the All Blacks, as a five-eighth and fullback, including being the player to kick the winning penalty goal against Wales in 1978 when Andy Haden infamously dived out off a lineout near full time and was apparently awarded a penalty (the Referee later said the penalty was for a completely separate incident), this win secured the "Grand Slam" for the All Blacks against the home country unions; And he played 14 one day games with the Black Caps, including the infamous "underarm" match against Australia in 1981, when McKechnie was the batsman who faced Trevor Chappell's underarm delivery in the final ball of the match.
