Although Tony Lamborn should be known to someone like you from the Southern WIlderness.

@gt12 so your joke relies on me knowing theyre kiwis (assuming they are)...but not knowing who they are?

@kiwiwomble

I didn't say it was funny.

But, in order:

Teimana Harrison (Rotorua Boys)

Aaron Persico (St Patricks College Silverstream)

Tony Lamborn (Ashburton College)

I didn't bother with Lam or others who've turned out for the islands, or kiwis like Leitch and Tui etc.

Chris B.

Does Pete Samu count?

Bovidae

@kiwiwomble No. I saw this guy play at 1st XV level and thought he would be a star in NZ.

@nepia Angus MacDonald and Hale T Pole were the other loosies with Harding and Bates.

Yeah, that's why I reckon it was Vallance as Harding is the only "pure" openside out of that lot.

OK. I have no idea who Vallance is, but he's a local to you.

Yep, he's from Hawkes Bay, was a schoolboy star, didn't go very far in senior rugby although did play test and 7s for the Cooks.

Another one blocked out by those Wellingtonians in the Canes academy.....?

Not sure, but probably, good enough to keep McCaw out but not good enough for the Canes academy.

We haven't been too bad at producing some pretty good wingers too Kirwin, Wilson, Lomu, Howlett, Rokocoko, Savea, Ioane spring to mind in my lifetime. Plenty of others also.
