Wanting to do the teams from the 1993 Waikato vs Auckland shield match but struggling to find them on the net anywhere.
Any ideas guys?
I can give you those teams.
Brilliant! PM them and the quiz will be done!
Much appreciated.

@Nepia Hey - No. 1 was an All Black. He had an exceptional record of coming from the bench in every test he played in and scoring a try in every test he played in.
He also lost every test he played in!
Ill-fated Stu Wilson as captain tour!
Damn, I loosely know the name, but that's about it. I'm glad I was more interested in playing that supporting in those days, that tour would have been frustrating as fudge for supporters.

Many thanks to @Bovidae for help with sourcing the player names.

@booboo A tip: I only type in the players surname so never worry about their first name.
@Bovidae my point about his first name is that he used the correct number of i's. I applaud his Scottish heritage. Too many of English heritage scrimp on the correct number of vowels in the spelling.
FYI I dont usually guess with the first name. Unless something like "Jonah" is going to get recognised.
Was perturbed that no matter how many timeszl I typed "Fitzy" or "Fitzpatrick" it wasn't accepted.

@Nepia The only AB game I saw live in 12 years was the Twickenham match that Stu Wilson captained....
Urrgh. I saw us get beaten by France in 1994 but that had the try from the end of the world. I also saw the 1999 debacle but France were on fire that day.
The worst live loss I saw was an ABs v Wobs at Carisbrook in the 00s, we just played shit.

Ive seen 41 tests live but only 4 defeats. 2 against England 73 and 83.
World XV in 92 (first game back in NZ - so I saw back to back defeats) and France 94.
All were shocking in their own way
So you have a 90% winning record. Impressive.
FYI I'm unbeaten after 7 ...

@Bovidae That's a pretty good winning record
I didn't have that many opportunities to see AB's live until I was in my 30's through a mix of only played about 5 tests at EP in the 70's and another half doz in the 12 winters I spent in Europe. Crazy when compared to todays programme.
My dubious distinction is that the first AB side I saw only contained one player born after WWII (NMS' uncle) and 3 born before it started
