15 M Muliaina

11
13 S Pokere
12
10 B McKechnie

7 P Henderson

@Nepia Yeah, but didn't pick that from his full name and only 7 tests!
7 tests back then is the equivalent of 60 odd these days.

@Stockcar86 Excellent. Hesketh gets the 14 jersey; I've moved Sullivan to the bench. I've left Bourke where he is (6). Still need another lock ...

Iād have Karne Hesketh on the wing for Napier as a RWC try scorer for Japan against South Africa
And If they are playing in their high school positions, put Colin Bourke at fullback
Yeah Glen Horton would be my fullback he was amazing at high school. Karne was 2nd5 at 1st 15 level (openside prior to that) only moved wider once he got to Alhambra.

@junior He was Otahuhu College. Played with Ali Lauititi when they won it in the late 90s.
I'm sure I watched him play in the 1996 secondary schools final and absolutely carve it up...
