Ah yep that's right, Didn't play the final though if I remember rightly when the mighty Aucklander James Kerr scored what is still talked about as a greatest try ever witnessed by mortal man.
fixed that for ya
Makes him even more of a legend
I was in Canterbury, and absolutely stoked with the win back in 98. However, in hindsight, the Auckland scrum got a bit robbed by the ref ... my Auckland mates are still a bit dirty about it to be fair.
Love NZ; still feeling aggrieved about provincial competition refereeing 20+ years later. Just ask any Otago-ite about Paul Honiss, and watch the blood pressure soar
Marc Ellis mentioned that on Sports Cafe back in the day.....when he wasn't pissed off his nut that is.

someone was saying on the radio Jones never played 7 for the Blues...so need to choose, Kaino or Jones at 6...
would that mean Mark Carter or Daniel Braid take 7
your thoughts @Nepia
This is pants. Just look at this :

Gee whiz if Henry Honiball isn’t my favourite 1st five to ever play the game I don’t know who is.

With Plummer possibly out next week, who comes in and plays backup to Black?
-
@African-Monkey Kirkpatrick?
Havili's brother?

@Dice said in Blues 2019:
Outside of Kirkpatrick, who are the 10s who played for the development team this year?
Just looked up the teamsheet vs Chiefs A
Havili started with Sullivan on the bench
I remember Wiseguy was on the bench in the Hurricanes game but subbed on at fullback

If Plummer is injured,I would love the Blues to think outside the square, I rate Kaleb Trask from BOP as a brilliant prospect..
Brilliantly balanced runner who can kick goals as well Daniel Kirkpatrick does not do it for me..another Canes reject who is no more than a journeyman . -

@Stargazer thanks for the update..I close that door..!

@Duluth said in Blues 2019:
Did Willy Havili get much game time during the NPC?
No - and the game he played in he struggled a bit.
He's a different build to David - similar but possibly lighter than Otere Black, I'd say.
If the Blues need a Ta$man first five, I reckon they'd be better with Tim O'Malley.
-
Do we pick someone from club rugby like D'Angelo Leiula?
-
@African-Monkey I was going to mention him, but since he wasn't in the development team, I doubt he's in the mix.
