I just realised that Rieko Ioane misses out on my team. Maybe due to making the All blacks so young and playing so rarely for club these days. Mind you there are plenty of others not making it - Patrick Tuipulotu, Matthew Ridge, Craig Innes, Terry Morrison, Eric Boggs, Greg Burgess, Malcolm Dick, Vince Aso, Mark Brooke-Cowden, Isitolo Maka, Ron Rangi. I'll stop now. Not bad reserve props - two of the toughest sob's ever to play for the All Blacks! -

I wouldn't have the first clue where to start with Marist Albion. Very good side in the mid-to-late 90s though which included Tabai Matson, Steve Lancaster, Chris Hammett, Kevin Nepia and Angus Gardiner. Then from around 2000 Johnny Leo'o and Ben Blair. Maybe also Tala Kele in the 90s.

Bit light in the pace bowling department and Albion always was a little creative with their claims for these guys (Sutcliffe played 1 season for Albion and about 14 for North East Valley when he was in Dunedin) but yes, not bad. Proud to be an honorary vice president there.

Good on you. Sounds like a club to be proud of., is it good socially?
