Geez it’s depressing when quite a few of the ‘old boys’ are still younger than me

[Crucial]

Billy and Piri? Playing prop?

Still, there's some guys there I used to look up to as a "kid" coming into club rugby. Mind you there's some in that second side that were "kids" when I was the old guy.

[Bovidae]

I hope the ref keeps a close eye on Woodhouse.

[Chris B.]

@Bovidae Woodhouse better hope Rodney isn't keeping a close eye on him!

I presume the Parliamentarians that I recognise - Mitchell, Woodhouse and O'Connor are going to have somewhat ceremonial duties.

Quite a lot of those ex-pro rugby players in the opposition could still smash the crap out of those old guys if they were so inclined.

[Snowy]

@Chris-B I suspect that Mitchell can look after himself. He ain't no shrinking violet despite his age.

[Snowy]

Coach: Andy Leslie, Earl Kirton
Waterboy: Ken Laban

I missed that bit, but will be the ceremonial duties.

Assume Earl will still have the same scarf.

Not with Ofisa Tonu’u in the side...

[Bones]

Few names added by the looks.

Richard Watt (Poneke)

Only just realised it was 24 years ago that I was in the centurions playing against him. Over two decades ago. Fuuuuuck

[Toddy]

@Bones 10 and 11 used to play for HOBM didn't they

[Bones]

@Toddy yeah Russia and Bradshaw (when he wasn't playing ball). And 19, 20!

Trev used to watch most of our games too. I think Paul Rolton coached us?

[Chris B.]

@antipodean That NZ Parliamentary team should switch to league - they're approaching NRL standard(s)!

I had no idea they were ironic! What does that even mean?
