He was playing fullback when Gregan was carded for spear tackling him from memory.
For the NZ U21s?
I just remember him mainly as a centre for Waikato from his debut as a teenager. Probably played on the wing and fullback then too.

For the highlanders, damn he had a horror run with shoulder injuries

Balancing that is the experience of lock Brodie Retallick, Captain Sam Cane at openside flanker, the inside paring of Aaron Smith and Beauden Barrett and Ben Smith at fullback.Key facts * Sevu Reece will become All Black number 1182 when he takes the field on Saturday. * Sam Cane will be captaining the All Blacks for the third time. * The All Blacks and Argentina have played each other 28 times since 1976 with the All Blacks winning 27 times and a 21-all draw in Buenos Aires in 1985. * The All Blacks won The Rugby Championship in 2012 - 2014 and again in 2016 - 2018 (as well as a Rugby Championship "Grand Slam" in 2012 - 2013 and 2016-2017).http://www.allblacks.com/News/34413/all-blacks-team-named-for-test-against-argentina

Congratulations to Sevu Reece on his All Blacks debut.
Atu Moli, Luke Jacobson, Josh Ioane and Braydon Ennor will probably make their test debuts from the bench.

Hmm, pretty close.
@antipodean said in 2019 Rugby Championship:
So as most of the selected Crusaders won't be going to Argentina, will they put Dane between two Auckland props? A second row of Pat and Retallick? Cane, Savea and Frizell/ Fifita. Smith, Beaudy, Ioane, Laumape, ALB, Smith and Jordie
Or will some of the Crusaders backs be asked to travel?

Funny. I thought it looked strong. Some question marks over for Pat.T and Fifita but otherwise sound.
