Geoff Hinds
Hines
just for the record ...Muphry's law eh!
I even looked up his Wikipedia page and missed it, I was so focused on getting the Geoff right. I remember Jasin because I always wondered if it was a mistake or deliberate.
I really shouldn't be the one to highlight other's mistakes ... 😀

Going back further, i nominate Bevan Wilson, the fullback from the late 70's.
After years of crap 15's he was the real deal in '77, calm under pressure, good goalkicker and pretty good on attack. Only played 8 times due to injuries an retired after 2 years

@Victor-Meldrew 8 games is like 3 seasons back then isn't it?

Normally about 4-5 Tests a year plus loads of games on tour. Wilson went on a mini-tour to France in '77 where he got injured after the 3rd game IIRC. Injured until '79 when he got injured again and retired.

Trains racehorses near Ashburton these days. Does a good job with a small team.

Obvious segue is Clive Currie.
Dirty Welsh thugs. Glad they're still whinging and deluding themselves about Haden.
Karma's a bitch huh?

That lock from Waikato, Keith Robinson. Had a tough guy rep but was always hurt
In for a shot as one of the most overrated players in NZ rugby too. Always hailed as a saviour, never really delivered.
Jesus Neps. He did the business really well on the pitch if memory serves.
At least that’s what Bart and Red Beard always said on here.
If him and Troy Flavell had stayed fit/away from the judiciary I think NZ might have had the most feared forward pack of that era.

I took a calculated risk of RB not being around here anymore and Bart starting threads and then disappearing again so I took my shot - and I stand by it.

He did actually play well and had presence when he actually made it on the park didn’t he ?
Not like those show ponies Ali Williams and Chris Jack

Apparently it was a huge effort just to come back from that back injury he suffered. Recall him being pretty damn good before that injury.
