        Picking the backs will be much easier than the forwards....

          I guess I’ll start I’m an 80s kid so never got to watch the likes of Fraser and Mexted so I think fairly il just go on like 94 onwards

          1.Reg Goodes
          2.Norm Hewitt
          3.Neemia Tialata
          4.Jeremy Thrush
          5.Dion Waller
          6.Jerry Collins
          7.Rodney So’oialo
          8.Filo Tiatia
          9.John Preston /Piri Weepu
          10.David Howell/John Preston if we don’t get Howell
          11.Tana Umaga
          12.Ma’a Nonu
          13.Alama Iremia sp?
          14.Hosea Gear
          15.Christian Cullen

          Tough on the likes of Talea and Fa’atau, I didn’t pick Smith as he was always with the ABs after 05 same with the likes of Perenara.

                @Toddy Piri at 10 indicates how strong we have been at first 5 in our history. It's hard for me to think of good 10s in my lifetime. I'd put RWC winner Murray Pierce in at lock, otherwise it's pretty solid lineup.

                    Good to see the Windy City Strangler getting a nomination.
                    That should upset the Cantabs 😉

                        Tu Wyllie in the early 1980s. He had a star backline outside him.

                              Weepu to 9 and Preston at 10. Outside that picks itself.

                                      I think Wellington might miss out on both of those guys:

                                      A player can only play in one team. Province caps decides where if double selected

                                                      John Schuster is one of the most underrated All Blacks.

                                                      His relationship with Kipper was magical

                                                              A player can only play in one team. Province caps decides where if double selected

If concussion didn’t ruin his career then he would probably have been the Canes best ever aswell. No doubt he would have reached the ABs with how he was playing back in 2015.
