Look. Tana and BOD have buried the hatchet and are sharing a laugh.

Next on Tana's list are @Kirwan and @Duluth

So we only have to wait 13 years then?

For BOD to apologise?

Look at the veins in BODs right arm. Looks like he's rubbing one out

BOD should be thanking Tana and Kev. Thanks to that incident, BOD is the only person from that Lions squad to come out of the tour with their reputation actually enhanced.

I'm not sure if they all played together on the same team, but Deans, Fox, McCahill, Wright and Crowley would have to be up there with the least physically imposing ABs of all time.

Deans no - but Fox McCahill and Wright were all in the run on team that were outclassed by Oz in the 91 RWC semi in Dublin.

@dogmeat And Crowley.

@bovidae how did I not type "Crowley". It was in my head - old age.

Yeah Timu had gone well against Italy but Grizz / Hart decided the better option was a jet lagged no pace Crowley

Bovidae

@dogmeat Don't worry, I've tried to forget about that game too!

Bernie McCahill wasn't really that small for the era, ourother 12s around that time were Schuster and Taylor and they were all a similar size. Edit: I forgot Little ... who was actually in the team.

dogmeat

@nepia small no - shite yes

Joe Stanley was the big hard midfielder of that era and was under 90kg if I recall correctly.

Just makes me realise how much the AB selectors missed a trick by not picking Marty 'Chuck' Berry. He woulda absolutely dominated.

To put it into context, Innes was considered a big midfielder for that era but was lighter than Aaron Smith.

McCahill benefitted from being in that dominant Auckland team so he's the Broomhall of the late 1980s/early 1990s.

Was thinking they may have all played together on the 89 tour but Crowley wasn't even selected.
