        @Crucial I think they've found this too hard. I'll have a go:

        McKechnie
        Wilson
        Saunders
        Lynn
        Kawau
        Culhane
        Cowan
        Miller
        Henderson
        Dixon
        ?
        ?
        ?
        Rutledge
        MacKintosh

            Dermody as the other prop.

            Frank Oliver for lock. Pokere played for Southland too.

              Well done, that fills the lock and TH prop spots, while Pokere would oust Matt Saunders. Surely there is a better centre than Kendrick Lynn, too.

                Maybe a combo of Mark Seymour/Kawau?

                  I think if a guy can't represent two teams, then surely the swede-munchers lose Oliver to Manawatu and need another lock. Who were the locks during the RS tenure a few years back? Beckhuis and....?

                      Other way around isn't it? He was Southland first then the Poo. Also more games for Southland?

                        Rules have been adjusted to 'first province (at first class level).

                        Stags have first dibs on Oliver

                              That was the plan although I think only Goldie and maybe Oliver would make their other teams starting XV.

                                surely the hooker is the little bald bloke who played about a thousand games for them, and at one point people were saying he should be an AB (but was always way too small)

                                  @mariner4life They could have Rutledge or Hall. Flynn was an AB though.

                                    Norm Hewitt is an option too. I would vote against him for the Magpies team purely because he left us for Southland.

                                      I would have Ken Stewart ahead of Dixon at 6. Natural number 7 but good enough to play at 6 for the AB's.

                                      Failing that good as Leicester was he could only get into the side when Stewart wasn't available so Ken has to be first choice.

                                              Both are before my time really so we can make that change.

                                              @Kiwiwomble Yes, the original team gets first selection.

                                                There has to be an exception to the rule though for Harbour given the NPC had been going for over a decade before they were formed

                                                    so a guy who plays 7 times for Southland as a 19 year old has to play there despite playing 56 times over 9 years for Otago?

                                                    This concept is a sham

                                                      It's only if a player is claimed by 2 or more teams. Who does NH miss out on?

                                                          I'm pretty sure that Southland wouldn't leave him out, and they were his first team. He was born in Invercargill, educated in Invercargill and had his first year of NPC for Southland. So I don't reckon Otago through and through.

                                                          Which means that Otago can't have him. Two good options there though.

                                                            so, are we saying goldie plays for southland? cooke and timu on the wings for otago?

                                                            I'm pretty sure that Southland wouldn't leave him out, and they were his first team. He was born in Invercargill, educated in Invercargill and had his first year of NPC for Southland. So I don't reckon Otago through and through.

                                                            Which means that Otago can't have him. Two good options there though.

                                                            yes, i have such vivid memories of him in a Southland shirt

                                                            as opposed to in the Blue of Otago being fucking amazing.

                                                                I'm just annoyed we didn't select Randell, Kronfeld and Timu when they were at high school ... although Randell would have only been 16 I think (he first played for Otago as a 17 year old).
