Best NZ players never ABs XV

Didn't Tom Franklin play against France last year?
I assume you mean the game of the ABs v France XV (the midweek game) in November 2017? The same game in which Akira played? The locks in that game were Tuipulotu and Bird (starting), with Scott Barrett on the bench. Franklin has been in ABs camp twice, but never played for them (he has played for the Maori ABs).

Some of the ones that played for Ireland

I would say Ben Tamifuna even though he played for Tonga was only because he can't wake up in the morning....or not eat KFC

Nasi Manu, Stephen Brett?

Okay, Bryn Hall is in ahead of Simon Crabb.

I'd still go with David Latta who was excellent in the early 1990s. He would have played Hooker for the All Blacks in almost any other era, but had Sean Fitzpatrick and Warren Gatland (than Norm Hewitt) ahead of him.

David Holwell

Karl Lowe.
A couple of games really took lots of players off the list over the years like that Samoa game where no Landers or Canes I think it was played in it because of the super final. Also the Japan game more recently.
