Yeah a couple of them are mixed up with last test and first selected.

Given M4L's comment about 7 being our signature position - which I think nails it - it's quite surprising the number of guys who weren't really 7s who played tests there. Maybe guys like Zinzan started out as 7s - I can't remember now.
From that list - Blackadder, Thomson, Masoe to an extent, Rodney, Razor, Blowers, Taine, Barry, Zinny, Schuler (I think?), Joseph, Brewer.

Craig Newby?
He was mentioned earlier in the thread. Don't know how he got left off that list
@ACT-Crusader even crossed him off

He never started a test/game so never wore no.7. 3 games as a sub.

Apart from Monkley, who would be the unluckiest to not even get capped (i.e., excluding Newby and I assume others who only came off the bench)?
Blackie must go close (I actually thought he had, but when he didn't show up on this list I checked).

ok, drawing on the brains trust, who else was out there in 2002-2003..seems really weird the highlanders had 3 of the best opensides in the country
obviously mccaw and holah

you don't need to narrow it down to Super sides
I reckon we could find a year where damn near every first division NPC union had a gun at 7.

@mariner4life without doubt, was more just three of them being at the highlanders so i was trying to think who was stoping one of them starting for the blues or canes for example
