    It's a little unfair to include players from the amateur era in that list, as they often played a larger number of games for the ABs but didn't have the advantage of being able to come on as a substitute in tests unless there was an injury.

    And some three and four test AB's for the list. My claim to fame was I played rugby with Mark Robinsons brother.

    Did Anthony Tuitavake play many tests ?

    From memory seemed like he was always on the edge of selection or thereabouts but not quite there

    Dan, he was a great first five from memory. Had a lot of fun in that Whangarei Bears tournament.

    @chimoaus he was, IIRC he also played at Marist U18 (same time as Jason Shoemark and Derren Whitcombe I think) when I was in seniors, I played schoolboy rugby with Mark.

    Here are a few one and two test AB's that might make the cut.

    4fe7bc29-71e6-4f39-85be-f49965f9dbfe-image.png

    Not too many that went on to greater things n that list.
    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.

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

    I didn't look at every position. But, I'd play Hill over Cameron. At least there'd be solidity in the tackle.

    My XV (as they're all much of a muchness my selection policy is Magpies and people I know personally first):
    Reihana/Cashmore, Vidiri, Maori Jesus, Ranby, Berryman, Hill, Lee, Turner, Vanisi, MacDonald, B Evans, Gordon, Afeaki, Parsons, Purvis.

    On second thoughts I think the Bled is heading to Oz.

    @Nepia Maka over fatty Turner. Moving to NH should automatically exclude him. πŸ˜‰

    Then it would be G Evans in to replace him due to my selection policy.

    TBH, I don't really hold that against Turner, in those days he had to move to further his career. There was no Hurricanes to overlook him or Chiefs, MP and Highlanders to pick him up.
