Best of all time?

[Victor Meldrew]

Right, Captains: In no particular order and excluding anyone before the late '70;s

Graham Mourie, Fitzy, Ritchie, David Kirk.

Ritchie & Mourie for me. Both took teams which were in a bad place and brought to the very top,

Took over a winning team and did well. Just think Mourie & Ritche proved they could lead thru adversity as well as thru the good times.

[Smudge]

Looks like I'm putting Hayman in as my GOAT #8 then.

Any update from @JK on when he’ll post his all-time ginger XV?

@voodoo

International or local??

[mariner4life]

If Paul Tito isn't captain that'll do me

First man picked - either international or NZ only.

Just gotta build the fire force around him

A best ever bench players would be interesting.

Not just the next best players but players who delivered off of the bench.

Obviously this would be limited to the last 25 years or so.

From NZ the likes of Beauden, Faumuina, Weepu come to mind.

Kees Meeuws was one of the original bench impact players!

Kees definitely especially in the 1 prop replacement era. I’d put Coles in the bench impact team too.

From a non-NZ perspective, Matt Rogers for the Aussies. That blonde midget from the Boks that could play 10, wing, fullback.
