@Bones I think for a while now but more as a bench option.
Article below mentions him.
Swindale Shield on tenterhooks as Frontrunners Tawa and MSP both defeated
Above: The weather was fine and sunny, but OBU and Avalon Senior 1 players got their first taste of mud on Saturday in their clash at Ian Galloway Park. Story updated: Including headline mistake: The race for the top eight Jubilee Cup spots for the second half of the season is on tenterhooks...

@Canes4life I reckon if you went back pre-amalgamation, you could probably swap in a few old-timers from Titahi Bay or Porirua rugby club too.

Wellington Axemen Top XV - This has had a bit of thought put into it but once again without any outside references for help could well be subject to change a bit later. I have only been in Wellington for 20 years or so and am solely relying on what I have seen myself or heard of being talked about up in the Isherwood Lounge at aftermatch discussions.

@Nepia He is always injured and has only laced up his boots a couple of times for The Texans so cannot really be selected on his schoolboy rating and such limited performances at senior level. Was given consideration nonetheless.
I think he's moved passed Hugh Renton in the Magpies mythical player status due to injury.

Dustin Watts was an unlucky man - he was an original selection in the 1996 Hurricanes but was replaced by Inoke Afeaki before the season started due to a knee injury that eventually caused his injury-enforced retirement in 1999.
