QUIZ ALERT #2
Name the 38 halfbacks? If you can pick where they are in the order then an extra virtual chocolate fish for you.
I’ll get things started with a couple of hints:
1 - Finlay Christie
18 - Byron Kelleher
29 - David Kirkfuck off
i just googled when #698 got capped. And the player i thought was 501 was actually 1001. There were 80-odd before i was even born. And 250-odd before i can even remember watching rugby

I'm thinking that Tahuriorangi was before him and Drummond and Weber before that.

In order of last picked first, Christie is number 1

@chris-b Now Kahn did reach peak performance when he moved to the Magpies, however he was already playing for Samoa by then so can’t really be included in the best AB 9 discussion.
He's in the coulda, woulda, shoulda discussion - a bit like Robbie and Alan Hewson.
Injustices that are not forgotten.
(Actually, Kahn's AB prospects were largely farked by Robbie preferring Andy Ellis - something I agreed with at the time).
