    He went to New Plymouth BHS, so no.

    Tamanivalu went there too, and it looks like Luatua was poached from MAGS.

    @Bovidae Yeah don't know where that came from haha. I remember the semi final in 2009 which was his last year at school when MAGS played St Peter's where he was up against Pat Tuipulotu at lineout time.

    Anyone done NPBHS? Can anyone? And I think Southland BHS could be interesting.

    OK I've found the SBHS list of ABs. It doesn't list them by position and there's a lot of the 21 I've not heard of (15 of the 21 played before 1965 and none of them are famous All Blacks) so here are the contemporary ones:

    15 M Muliaina
    14
    11
    13 S Pokere
    12
    10 B McKechnie
    9
    8
    7 P Henderson
    6
    5
    4
    3 C Dermody
    2 C Flynn
    1 J Mackintosh

    @Dice Bates and Lose as well.

    I remember watching Inga terrorise our right winger in a 1st XV game.

    @shark Surely you're heard of Billy Stead (one of the greatest of the Originals)? Should be 1st 5 but you can slip him into 2nd 5 if you want to keep McKechnie there.

    7 tests back then is the equivalent of 60 odd these days. 🙂
