to be fair, on the wings you have Joeli, Jonah, Rokocoko, Howlett, Rupeni
It's ridiculous the quality of player they have to leave out

Play Olo Brown out of position
Someone made a mistake. It's not a big deal. Olo finished up in 1998, that's a whole Hoskins Sotutu life time ago. Depending on people ages it's an easy detail to get wrong

(or a journeyman like Dowd)
I picked this one.
To be clear, if I was judging their overall careers (AB's etc) it wouldn't be close, Woodcock would win easily. TW played better rugby at Test level than he did for the Blues IMO. Still very good for the Blues of course.
I'm comfortable leaning towards the great front row combo of the first few years -

Did Nick Evans ever play for Harbour?
He did early in his career, then he made the Highlanders and moved South
When he came to the Blues he signed with Auckland but left before the NPC

Already at 10.
George Pisi wasn't bad.
