Auckland v Canterbury NPC Sept 1998
-
Hi, i'm looking for team info on this match.I was at this game on my second last trip to NZ and i remember a huge amount of All Blacks on show.
I was discussing this with a mate over a few pints recently and i said there was probably 20 All Blacks between the two sides,he wouldnt believe me and we now have a bet on the numbers.
Would anyone here have a SKY Almanac for that year?
Any help would be appreciated. -

I think R Brooke got a YC
From memory I think this Auckland side struggled to win a scrum all season. Eventually Trapp recalled Steve McDowall

Lima, Harder and Lafaiali'i played for Samoa. Va'a may have too.
Ngauamo and Finau Maka for Tonga.So potentially 6 more internationals.
I have no memory of Mathie.

I have a hazy memory of knee injury?

The first game i ever went to live as a youngster, sitting in the old terraces with my father. A terrible season for the Aucklanders.

Ugh, had a google on him this morning. I had forgotten he had died at 45, far too young.
I found lots of mentions of prolapsed discs and struggles with his back.
-
All Blacks at the time? Or All Blacks eventually? Hope that is in the bet fine print ....

https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/2228/dylan-mika-rip?_=1669866032571@Nepia i don’t think Mathie played a great deal for the Saders maybe once or twice. Featured for the Cantabs a fair bit.

It might have been vague at the time but he has paid up already so it's all good.

@Duluth Do we charge an Elon or Tim Apple rate for settled bets?

I made a small contribution to the forum earlier ,more of a Bankman-Fried rate tho.
