As I am French, I will be a bit off topic. I have played with the following French international players : Gerard Cholley (he was already old but came for a varsity game to lend us a hand), Jean-François Gourragnes and Dominque Erbani (the latter in an Oldies game).
Cholley doesn't come across as the Varsity type!

b reihinaWe must have been playing in the Waikato around the same time.
Not sure I recall playing Hopa though. May have done. ??
I played for Putaruru from 94-96, roughly 50/50 As and Bs. Who was your team @ploughboy ?

Yes, not exactly. I was playing for the Toulouse Pharmacy University and he came to strengthen our team with a few mates from the Pierre Fabre pharmaceuticals firm (the main sponsor of Castres Olympique, the last winner of the Top 14). Playing by his side was certainly a less moving experience than for the guy who had to pack against him in the scrums.

Not me , but years ago a mate got to play the Allblacks, and marked John Kirwan
Allblacks v Victoria , the score was a hundred and something to very little , and kirwan made him look stupid .
He was so excited beforehand then it turned into a nightmare
Massive diff between who you played and “a mate” played.
I know , I have played league against nrl players tho 😀
I've played union with nrl players! Surely that's harder to do? 😊

The Cambridge derby.
I played Sunday football against Lowen a few times and often ended up marking him. Surprisingly quick for his size.

I made the mistake of going to play touch, that turned into league, with a bunch of Hautapu guys as my mate played for them. I tried to tackle Lowen. I feel I know how Mike Catt felt when he tried to tackle Jonah.
