Reds v British Lions

@ARHS said in Reds v British Lions:
@booboo don't think 77 to 83 will have been much of a gap. Should be quite a few on the list. John Fleming and Mike McCool are two that come to mind
Oops 6 years not 16 ... maths ...

Aidan Ross and JTA - two NZers that will play against the BIL for the second time but for two different provincial/franchise teams. Who else has done that also?
I had a quick look at some names. Some of the obvious old-timers (e.g., Wilson Whineray) were often playing for different provinces in non-BIL tour years. There is at least one player and former AB who has achieved this - Graeme Higginson. He played for Canterbury against the Lions in 1977 and for Hawke's Bay in 1983.
And as @ARHS said, John Fleming (Wellington in 1977, Waikato in 1983).

As opposed to Brisbane which is pretty fresh by Qld standards today, currently 18, feels like 13. Windy as hell from the west, gusting to almost 50kms.

If the temperature feels like 35 why don’t they just say that it’s 35 ?

This halfback has fucked up majorly with his two first involvements. Awful

how that knock on was missed is beyond me
