Hunt seems to be preferred again. Last ditch effort to re-sign him?
IMO it’s because he shot JFK

@shark A good effort.
I think Andy Ellis could easily be halfback and Hammer player/coach.
Stephen Brett (he should have qualified but probably doesn't)?
Bubbles could play fullback to open up a spot for Zac.
I'm not ashamed to say there was a time when i thought Stephen Brett was going to be a long-term star AB.

@mariner4life He was promising - could have done better.
I thought Shark's team was a "Trolling Crusaders AB XV", but on reflection it might be a "Worst" - in which case Sedio holds his place.

Could be a fun challenge to do best and worst super rugby AB teams for each franchise and see how they compare.
Wondering about who is likely to be doing double duty. Ralph just about makes both Crusader sides on the left. Have the canes had any AB tens other Barrett?

@Stargazer he is not a bad player, but who is a worse Crusader All Black fullback than him?
Just remembered Ben Blair! He would have a shot at taking the 15 jumper.

I knew I'd have forgotten someone obvious.

Do the Chiefs even have two Abs for every position? We sucked pretty hard for a long time.

Any truth to the rumour Ralph is so slow tight forwards can run him down?
Ralph runs so fast that he dilates time. While it may appear that a tight forward has caught him, the Ralph has actually run the length of the field, scored the try, converted his own try (drop kicked from the sideline just to entertain himself of course) and returned to half way for the restart. At which point he is unfairly taken out by some ponderous tight forward.

He's very fast over a kilometre - it's not his fault the field is too short for him to demonstrate his strength as a winger.

My team is indeed a stab at a Crusaders Worst ABs XV. Doesn't mean they're all poor All Blacks but intended to be the worst in their AB position out of the Crusaders. Havili'i certainly isn't/wasn't a poor AB but was certainly not as good as Rangi or Izzy, and I'd forgotten about Ben Blair. In saying that, Ben Blairs' annis horribilis (sp) was for the Crusaders and not the ABs, so he or Havili'i might be a close call.
I limited it to capped ABs so that rules out Con Barrell, Nathan Mauger, Tabai Matson and Steve Surridge.
