I went to that game in 1989. Was pretty shit. Plus I was bitterly disappointed at the lack of ABs.
The Anzac jerseys however were a big success for years afterwards.
I don't mind this concept if they can put together a proper team.
Dude you would have been about 10 years old. Kids that age whinge about everything. I’m not sure I can take this post seriously

I wouldn’t pick one Australian in a combined ANZAC team.
Neither. I’d pick two. Kerevi and Hooper.

I was exactly 10 and usually happy as a pig in shįt when at the rugby. FWIW, my granddad was over from NZ and he too said it was a crap game. I recall being mightily pissed off that poor man's John Gallagher, i.e. Kieran Crowley, was playing. JG was my favourite player after MJ.
Fark I'm getting old.

It didn’t help that Crowley looked in his 50s when he played. He “grew into his age” so to speak in later years though !

Would you pick an Aucklander?
Braydon Ennor
ARRGH! Touché!

I would imagine any proposed team would have even numbers or a slightly heavier weightage to Australia given they are hosting even if people here wouldn't select one.. lol
I think it would still be a good watch if they could make it work

Hi Fitzy, would you stretch to Pete Samu as a token Aussie?

yeah, thats why i was thinking...if its a novelty anyway...then make a bit of a big deal about the selection, picking a team thats 80-90% NZ would prob do more harm than good

It would probably involve the tier of player just below/on the edge of test selection. Doubt you'd have centurians like Whitelock or Hooper lining up.
It'd still be fun though - I think a 23 selected from the best players in SR who arent currently in either test 23s would be fairly competitive.
And yeah, a true ANZAC team would only have a handful of Wallabies - Hooper, Koirobete, Kerevi, Valetini and White would probably be the only ones in with a shot.

I'd say the whole starting front row would get a look in.
