Memory failing me a bit right now.
With: Thrush, Waldrom, Weepu.
Against: Waldrom, Tiatia, Collins, So'oialo, Nonu, Lauaki, Masoe, Jane.There's probably more but everyone was so much better than me it was hard to tell the difference between AB and club player. I'm still scarred by Jane, made me look like an absolute invalid.
Did he fend you?
Like I got close enough.

@act-crusader yes it was at Olympic park , but Cant Remember the year ,
They played there twice within a few years , it was the first one ,
The second my son played at halftime and I was running around coaching them on the field feeling intimidated because Richard Loewe was standing on the sideline watching 😀

Not me , but years ago a mate got to play the Allblacks, and marked John Kirwan
Allblacks v Victoria , the score was a hundred and something to very little , and kirwan made him look stupid .
He was so excited beforehand then it turned into a nightmare
Massive diff between who you played and “a mate” played.
I know , I have played league against nrl players tho 😀

As I am French, I will be a bit off topic. I have played with the following French international players : Gerard Cholley (he was already old but came for a varsity game to lend us a hand), Jean-François Gourragnes and Dominque Erbani (the latter in an Oldies game).
Cholley doesn't come across as the Varsity type!

b reihinaWe must have been playing in the Waikato around the same time.
Not sure I recall playing Hopa though. May have done. ??
I played for Putaruru from 94-96, roughly 50/50 As and Bs. Who was your team @ploughboy ?

Yes, not exactly. I was playing for the Toulouse Pharmacy University and he came to strengthen our team with a few mates from the Pierre Fabre pharmaceuticals firm (the main sponsor of Castres Olympique, the last winner of the Top 14). Playing by his side was certainly a less moving experience than for the guy who had to pack against him in the scrums.

I've played union with nrl players! Surely that's harder to do? 😊
