@Nepia because Botica supposedly couldn't kick - then kicking tees were allowed and he started banging them over from everywhere.
Fox's strengths were his mental fortitude and game management - he wasn't the most gifted 1st 5 but he made the most of what talents he did have. You should hear him talk about his son. Yes he is a proud Dad but he is totally bemused as to why Ryan isn't out practicing 12 hours / day.

@Duluth Solid side.
Just as an aside. In the mid 70's TV polled every NPC player in NZ and asked them one question - Who is the most over-rated player in NZ rugby. The 'winner' by some margin B.G Williams
I checked and Pole Whiting did play NPC so I would throw him in ahead of R Brooke for two reasons. One; I think he is a better player and Two; he's not a creepy sex offender

if they drop BG they put Rokocoko in

Before my time. I left him in from that other xv because I assumed old people would complain
Happy to pick a modern winger.. who?

He'll do.
Didn't play much for Auckland because of the modern NPC availability. Worthy of a spot

I'd go G Whetton over R Brooke myself. Spoilt for choice. Bastards.
There were a few votes for GW earlier in the thread. Also Dogmeat has started a character attack that may affect voting
