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.

14 Peter Nelson (Ireland)
15 John Gallagher (NZ)Have moved Nelson to Wing. Not a heap of ginger pace out there. Jeff Wilson could get a wing spot, but not sure he'd appreciate that at all
Edit - forgot to mention that this time prefers to play night games but could do day games in the northern hemisphere

They qualify from their playing days not how they are now so Jeff Wilson misses out

Ok, I get it now, but most of Ellis' playing days he wouldn't qualify would he?

Not in 1993 when he played first five.
I’m happy for you to come up with better options, I can’t think of any.
