        As I figure no other bastard will bother, I put in some VERY cursory research,
        added to my low level of rugby knowledge,
        to come up with this list,
        which I'm sure will be ripped to shreds for all sorts of people playing out of position, and what-not.
        But, in advance...FYA.

        1 Mark/Bull Allen
        2 Andrew Hore
        3 Gordon Slater
        4 Ian Eliason
        5 Paul Tito
        6 Alastair Scown
        7 Graham Mourie
        8 Peter Burke
        9 Dave Loveridge
        10 Beauden Barrett
        11 Waisake Naholo
        12 Bryce Robins
        13 Charlie Ngatai
        14 Gus Hart
        15 Kieran Crowley

        16 Mick Cain
        17 Ash Gardiner
        18 John McEldowney
        19 Alistair Scown
        20 Colin Cooper
        21 Kevin Briscoe
        22 Seta Tamanivalu
        23 Jordie Barrett

        I threw Jordie in there, as I figure Canterbury isn't going to want him anyways.

              Did Jazz Muller make it through until the start of the NPC in 1976? If so he would be a starter in a province that seemed to have a production line of props there for a while. He certainly played later the Messrs Burke and Briscoe mentioned in Kruse's team.

                Burke and Muller are before the NPC.

                Jason Eaton as a possibility at lock.

                  Yeah - there's a fair few players there from pre-NPC... I just threw the list together without reading any of the evolving rules (or even, the actual 'competition' title)... as I figured nobody else would be bothered with the poor 'Naki.
                  So - feel free to correct, update, improve.

                        @Bones Thanks mate I was trying to think of the loosie that played 7 for Canes early 2000s and it was Masoe.

                          Keith Robinson might be required if they draw Manawatu.
                          Plenty would pay to see Robinson v Cowboy Shaw in a dust up.

                            Looking at those other players you would probably select Masoe or Andy Slater over Hoeata at no.8.

                              Robin Brooke might think twice about any niggle...

                                @Bones The old man played Cowboy Shaw in an Ranfurly shield match when he was playing for Horowhenua my old man picked him up and dumped him over the sideline, Cowboy said after the game, I’m impressed a tiny winger could do that, it’s the highlight of my dads career

                                  I would have told that story a thousand times if that was me!

                                    Surprisingly no love for John McEldowney here.
