It would need a statue of Robin Brooke punching a North Harbour player at the lineout.

Didn't Eric Rush do a leaping punch/shoulder on an Aucklander (maybe even a Brooke) in that match? That one would be perfect as he's both an ex Aucklander and an ex Harbour-er.

technically the second, as we all love a pedant. First scored by a human, though

Then the next one of Brooke deciding the sky was pretty after shoving Robinson over a ruck.

Thank you, and also to others who told me that. I was generally aware of the sculpture and of his celebrated first try, as separate things. I am pleased that I was able to identify him in the black and white photo by recognising his face from so long ago.

The photographer was on his game that day!

That's only a XIV. Vikings good enough to play with only one lock? (Would have thought Waller would have got the red...).

@nepia Brooke R cleaned Rushy out late and off the ball. Rush took exception and retaliated but was concussed and went for the wrong Brooke. Rush was binned.
