Kevin Senio before Ellis.

Correct.

[Higgins]

Bruce Gemmell was in there a year or two before Lyn Davis so he might be either number 37 or 38

Well played. He’s 37

[ACT Crusader]

Only 38 to go.

This player played both halfback and 1st 5

[ACT Crusader]

Played only 3 tests, but played 30 non-test games

[Higgins]

Ian Stevens???? Halfback for Wellington but I can remember him playing at first five for the All Blacks with his long hair on the 1972 tour to the home unions. Not sure if he played halfback though.
