The first five-eighth's record points tally and marshalling of stars like John Kirwan made the playmaker a key cog in the 1987 Rugby World Cup-winning All Blacks and champion Auckland teams. His distinctive goal-kicking ritual became as reassuring as a metronome, and a model for future number 10.

During his time with the All Blacks from 1985 to 1993, he wore the number 10 jersey, and was the main goal kicker for the All Blacks. He amassed 645 points from 46 All Black Test Matches. He is considered a true pioneer of the modern art of goal kicking, in particular the technicalities of leaning the ball forward, which has been adopted by world class kickers since.

Fox has been a player, coach, commentator and is currently one of the All Black selectors, a position he has held since 2011.
