Ah, I know who now.

He’s in that photo above 😀

That's why I liked the post. I do remember Gibbes moving into lock.

@Tim I meant Holah

As @ACT-Crusader pointed out I am old. I get my players confused. Was Tane Norton at hooker?

Gibbes was fucking immense in that game.

He always reminded me of the Greeks in Asterix comics due to his nose.

I remember Brew and Ormond in the haka but not the other two.

@ACT-Crusader As I was at the game I remember who was in the 23, and I also have the match programme. A top 5 game attended for me.

… in the 22 - the good ol days 😉

Some old fashioned rucking in this one as well. I think it was Rangi or Tipoki that got caught under a few Lions sprigs!

Of course! Old habits.

1st XV rugby still only has one reserve prop.

Can anyone remember why Hemopo didn't play against the Lions for the Maori team?

He played for the Highlanders against the Lions.

He’d never been selected before and they went with the more experienced players.

[Tim]

@ACT-Crusader He was so much better than the locks they picked.

In hindsight, no doubt.

I guess with a Lions match the selectors would tend to go with what they know. It wasn’t until that 2017 NPC that Hemopo really came into his own and got on the radar for higher honours.
