    @ACT-Crusader dude. Has to be a joke. The world exists outside of Canterbury. Where is Ruben Thorne?

    I’m deadly serious. Best of all time Crusaders squad.

    No Scott Robertson or even Sam Broomhall. Amazing depth

    @ACT-Crusader I'd swap Ralph for Berryman.

    You would, Mr North Auckland…😉

    Love Stormin, but Ralph’s Saders record was pretty phenomenal in terms of longevity and try scoring.

    @ACT-Crusader I'm talking for impact off the bench, reckon Norm would have more, almost be inclined to start Ralph at 11 for those reasons you said.

    Ralph interestingly enough scored quite a few of his tries coming off the bench. It was a tough call between him and Nadolo for the bench back.

    Vuninbaka was a beast for us.

    How bout James Kerr ?

    I hope he still gets accosted to this day for a free Canterbury Draught from you guys for the try he got.

    Sevu Reece is a better winger than Ralph.

    A more interesting exercise might be to name a best XV of NZ players who have played for another international team. Tony Marsh and Frank Bunce would be a tasty midfield.

    No frogs? I loved watching Blanco but can't take Cully out. However, I would certainly have Sella ahead of BOD

    An embarrassment of riches for outside backs over the years.

    I’d have Rodders ahead of Masoe for the bench spot. The Mika v Eaton call is a 50/50 for me.

    Also Jordie has gone ahead of Gopperth.
