@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.

@canefan Simon Mannix

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

@canefan Simon Mannix
Did Holwell ever play for the Lions? Pokere, Gopperth, hell of a list
-
Tu Wyllie in the early 1980s. He had a star backline outside him.
-
@canefan yes, played heaps of games for them. Dirty poachers.

Always liked him. I'd take him over Mannix and Jimmy

Rugby started in the mid-1990s.
McGrattan and Crichton haven't been mentioned as options for prop.

John Schuster is one of the most underrated All Blacks.

His relationship with Kipper was magical

@Tim was a favorite, was gutted when he went to league

@taniwharugby Yeah, my brother and I used to love "Johnny the Schu".

Lomu is mine. My precious.

Surprised no one has mentioned Lima Sopoaga... I guess his departure to Southland counts him out though.
If we can’t have Lomu then mine would be.

Goodes was always injured.

@Winger yeah but he was bloody solid when he did. 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.

@Duluth ok I’ll go Savea in for Jonah and Preston in at 10
