Classic All Blacks lineup vs Spain
Not a bad midfield, Sammy Tuitupou and Conrad Smith -
-
@Daffy-Jaffy I feel like "All Blacks" might be pushing it a bit for a few of those individuals... especially the wallabies!
-
@Bones Plus Dean Budd Italy, Census Johnson Samoa. NZ products though I guess. Oldies rules are always a bit relaxed.
-
@Daffy-Jaffy yeah I feel like if that starting backline ran out for the AB's now we wouldn't be too disheartened!
-
Where can we get a replica of that shirt, it's awesome!

I've got a pretty similar ABs one in white with black shoulders.

Ah, Henry's fabled FBL experiment

The Gear boys on the wings ! also NWAABAT ( never was an All Black Andre Taylor ) was pretty handy too.

Mists of time for me, but I thought the FBL was around '04/05. Didn't Ted take over after RWC2003? Then again, IIRC Wayne Smith was backs coach
-
@Victor-Meldrew I recall reading something only a few weeks about it, from Smith, although as always, cannot find it, but googling it comes up with Smiths name.

Enjoying the game, some great skills, and some bad ones. Rolling subs remind me of our touch tournament here, some one runs the length, gets a try, 'suuuubbb!'.
-
Just watched the highlights.
Apart from the fact that Conrad Smith still has sublime touches and Rico Gear still has the pace, the thing which was impressive was the 40,000 crowd.
The match seems a great idea
