Who was the big Fijian guy that played for the Crusaders in 2016/2017? Can’t bloody think of his name. I think he played for the Chiefs aswell. Pretty sure he may have had a run on the wing for NZ.
Update: Seta Tamanivalu - he could be a dark horse for that 10 spot.
He and Duffie played on the wing in the same non-test game.
Baabaas. Think Duffie came on as a sub

But, it’s Japan
In 1995, we made 63 changes to our side and put 145 on them.
There is a reason the made a movie about this particular game. Coz it’s Japan!!

France XV. Akira was one of a few players who made their AB debut in this game.

@ACT-Crusader are these in order of most recent first game on wing for ABs?
I think Naholo might be in the wrong spot.

That was RIoane and Naholo. The week before against Baabaas it was Tamanivalu and Naholo (subbed by Duffie)
I did have to go look that up.

@ACT-Crusader is only using starters in this quiz. As you say, Duffie never started against the Baabaas.

Ah yes, I looked at the test not the extra France XV game.
Nonetheless Tamanivalu started on the wing against the Baabaas so should be below Duffie in that list if I am reading it correctly in reverse order of start.
As I put in another post Naholo started a couple of years before both of these guys as did NMS. Ben Smith way way before so maybe I am reading it wrong? -
I'm not afraid to look stupid - Marc Ellis?

Eric Rush?

Yeah most recent game

Correct to those that said Tamanivalu and Tuitavake

Ellis did start on the wing several times but in the 90s.

Yeah most recent game
OK. So most recent game rather than first game? That would explain my confusion.

@machpants said in AB Wingers Quiz:
Did Beaudy play a game there?
I’m pretty sure the backline formation to finish the Irish test in 2013 was the two Azza’s and 9/10, Nonu and Crotty in the midfield, Ben Smith moved to fullback and Bus and Barrett on the wings.

DMac has also played on the wing but started at 15 IIRC.
Checked. Came off the bench and replaced Naholo in Nelson v Argies

Also started several matches on the wing in the 90s.
Interesting (useless) fact, Marc Ellis played 20 matches between 92 and 95 and Rush played 29 matches between 92 and 96. The pair never started a match together on the wings. There were a couple of games they started together but Ellis was at centre and Rush on the wing.
