So they can be subs as well?
With this one I looked at playing order and the games, so it covers the field. A little easier for hookers given it’s a specialist position.
Wingers was a little harder to do given back subs so just had starters.

Was there another Canterbury hooker during the Shield era?
I know...Phil Cropper!
Cropper didn’t make the ABs, I know criminal right 😉
Played both hooker and loose forward for Canterbury.

That's the one I was thinking of that went on the Cavaliers tour. Thought he was a jaffa.

@act-crusader Yeah - I'm just recalling the outrage in Keith Quinn's voice when Cropper (a flanker) came on as a sub early in a Shield challenge against Auckland - and Canterbury insisted on going to golden oldies scrums.

Can you remember that game?
Keith went on and on and on about it. Much to his satisfaction we lost, but it was probably the closest anyone came to beating the Auks in about 5 years.

I gave up and cheated. Good luck to anyone that can remember 24. I didn't.
It’s an obscure one for sure.
