    Perhaps Caleb Ralph and Keith Prior on the wings, Rua Tipoki at centre?

    As I mention above Gary Braid would have to be one of the locks.

    I think that you already know the thoughts about Caleb Ralph for a wing spot.

    Andy Miller

    That’s a name I haven’t heard for a while. He was a decent player and left NZ too early IMO. Could’ve pushed for higher honours.

    Did he play for the Crusaders? I don't think he was ever threatening higher honours but he was a decent 10.

    Miller played ten tests for Japan in the end. Graham Henry apparently was a fan of his All Black chances 🙂

    Damn you and your facts. I was actually at a BBQ with him in Papamoa a few years back but didn't speak to him as I didn't recognise him and my mate only let me know after we'd left.

    @mariner4life I tried Rua Tipoki slightly out of position in the updated list. Grant McQuiod being the other one who springs to mind?

    I wondered about him as well.... there's the All Black experience of Nathan Harris, vs a charging Aleki Lutui 5m out from the opposition tryline.
