Best NZ players never ABs XV

Ben May? You best duck for cover when @Higgins sees this thread.
Akira has played for the ABs (just not at test level). If you're making it at test level then Roger Randle for one of the wings.
I was at the match of Ben May's club yesterday. Did not see Ben May, certainly not amongst the playing XV nor the bench. I did not see much of the OBU Premier Reserve game (they were the curtainraiser) so maybe he managed to be selected for them and was subbed off before I was able to concentrate on the last fifteen minutes of that fixture.
As an aside John Plumtree was spotted taking in the action and he would have noted a very solid game from rumoured new WRFU Lions lock James Poloniati who scored a magnificent solo try from about 40 or 50 odd metres out. Brought back memories of Vaea Fifita doing likewise from 95metres out against the same opposition on the same ground about four years back when he the outpaced the entire OBU side including Te Ariki Ben-Nicholas wearing number 19

@Higgins The commentators said last night that JT-A was the only fit TH they could field; so I assume May is on the unpublished injured list.
By the way, Billy Proctor wasn't released to the NZU20s for the Oceania U20 Championship, but he did play club rugby. This week and last week.

He also played club rugby on 6 April and was yellow carded in a match his side got cleaned up in. He did nothing to indicate he was worthy of a five year contract.

@Gunner This would have to be near the top of the list. The guy was quality.
