Also, Mehrts wasnt' bad to be fair.

Never won anything at test level. Ridiculously overrated player in NZ. Not rated anywhere else.

1995: Choke
1996: Culhane and Preston won the series
1997: Spencer dominance
1998: Lost every game
1999: Destroyed at the world cup

1999 was when idiot New Zealanders thought Josh Kronfeld was an All Blacks hardman.

@Tim is the walrus.

@Tim Howarth was favoured to be the fullback in 1995. JK was already past it.

[Bovidae]

@Tim is on fire.

I still remember Spencer's woeful goal kicking in Wellington when the ABs lost to the Boks.

[Tim]

@Bovidae I am bringing the passion!

@Tim So Bachop can count himself lucky to make your 1995 RWC backline.

Stephen Jones likes him though

It's pretty clear that the only good South Island AB loose forward of the professional era was Richie McCaw.

[Tim]

South Island coaches were so bad in that era.that Marty Brooke missed out on the ABs to Chris Tregasgis, and Zinzan Brooke, the most dominant NZ player of the 90s, got overlooked for Aaron Shithouse Pene.

Sounds like someone never saw Rueben Thorne do anything of note in an AB jersey.

Then again none of us did either.

At least there won't be a jersey colour clash.

@Stargazer Old school. Love it.

Will we see any of this biff again? How much would that shot on Donnelly (0.21) get in this day and age?

I saw nothing wrong with any of that.

Love that Coles was the first in.

Nah the games in Welly, so South will be wearing their really dark grey away strip...
