@MN5 should have gone for David Knox.
Who ?
aw hang on.....the angry ranga who couldn't tackle.
always remember Zinny putting in a monster hit late and off the ball in 1996/1997 bledisloe in Dunedin. Superb.
Knox and Gregan were bloody good together. Knox squeezed every ounce out of his talent.
Edit: 1997. Cullen scored his try. Iw as on the terraces on the wrong 22 as 55 points got scored at the other end of the park. 29-0 became 29-26

Wasn’t Knox. More recent.
Guy had a horse head that even Sarah Jessica Parker would laugh at.
Owen 'Melon' Finnegan?
Be hard to find a vice big enough for Finnegan’s head.
I know it goes against fern tradition but read the thread man
Further off topic - “Melon” had really skinny legs for such a big unit.

I don’t reckon so, it’s just his melon made everything else look out of proportion.
I’m not sure how he and Zinny ever took the field in the same match without adversely altering the earth’s gravitational pull to be honest

What's the thoughts on who will be the 3rd 7 option behind Cane and Ardie?
Depends on squad size. Boshier is a good 7 as well as covering other back row spots.
But is he the next best 7? No one else is really standing out.
I’m not sold on Kirifi and think Papalii will be there as a 6. -

I doubt they go for a specialist
Probably Papali'i. I think his role will mostly be injury cover outside of the 23

@Crucial said in AB Depth Chart 2020:
Actually Finnegan was known as 'Ogre' not melon.
Did have a big nut on him though.
EDIT: apparently also 'Melon'. Was definitely 'Ogre' around the players in ACT in the time.
He could sell that Melon nickname to Roger Randle these days!

Yeah it's going to be one of Jacobson, Boshier or Papalii.

I thought Steven ‘Mazda’ Bates had the rights

Those three aren't really full time 7's and I think are better 6's, certainly that applies to Jacobson and Papalii.
I think someone who deserves another look at is Dilon Hunt. He's a true 7 and is playing well. On the weekend he was one of the best on park for the Highlanders, was into everything. Plays a real classic 7 role.
