@Crazy-Horse don't forget McGraw and Reid.
Yeah I forgot about them. My memory says they were all getting misspelt around the same time and someone had a dummy spit about it, saying we should be respecting these players more etc. It remains one of my favourite Fern dummy spits. Up there with "When's the team named?"
I thought that was the correct spelling for Hika Reid.

Campbell Johnstone, ©Mark Hammett, Tim Perry, Issac Ross, Dom Bird, George Whitelock, Scott Waldrom, Sam Broomhall, the English fella Willie Heinz, Brett Cameron, Zac Guildford, Tom Taylor, David Havili, Caleb Ralph, George Bridge. Ruben Thorne would be coach with Blair & Hamilton as his trusty assistants

Haha, what drongo did that ? Good grief what a sad, pathetic thing to whine about.
I always misspell the first name of the faster Ioane brother though to be fair.

@Frank I look forward to your Unsafe Brown Boys XV. I reckon Havili'i is a shot for both teams.
Can't be bothered looking up how to spell all the long Islander names.
Pffft, correct spelling of names has never been a hinderance on the Fern.
Unless of course it is Messam. I think getting his name wrong earned the death sentence for a while there.
Messum

Here are a few one and two test AB's that might make the cut.
Not too many that went on to greater things n that list.
Ngatai maybe the one really unlucky one.Fuck, not this shit again

The guy was class when not injured. It’s not as if he was a journeyman filling a gap in the squad or a Hail Mary selection like the majority of that list.
If you can’t recognise class on the field that’s your problem -

If you can’t recognise class on the field that’s your problemNo unluckier than any number of others on the list.
There are a few forgettable players there though I’ll give you that.

Ngatai maybe the one really unlucky one.Afeaki would probably have been a long term AB if not for injury.
I'm disappointed to see Hungus Masaga on that list, I thought he didn't pass the ball in more tests than that.
TBH. we could make a decent enough team from that lot. Not world beating but would retain the Bledisloe.

Unlucky probably isn’t the best term. Of all of those players there aren’t many that I reckon would have had a decent AB career had it not been for injuries/illness/established good players in front of them.
Ngatai, Reihana and Vidiri probably in a different category to the majority. Then there is the “unknown” of Reagan King. Right circumstances and who knows how that boy would have done. He certainly looked to have huge potential if handled right.Agree on Afeaki as well.

Not sure who would be running the cutter. Brett Cameron?

He certainly looked to have huge potential if handled right.Yeah see I’d label Vidiri the unluckiest by far given he’d have absolutely walked into the ABs in 1996 if eligible and terrorised international defences like he did at Super level. By the time he got a shot his health was failing.
Reihana also given he couldn’t get past the other brilliant back three players consistently enough. I always thought he would have done better given his utility value, still at least he got capped, Roger Randle didn’t !
Loads of the others were “good” and a few perhaps lucky they even got one or two caps.
