My Latest All Blacks Quiz

When I think I've run out of quiz ideas, another one appears! Wanting to do the teams from the 1993 Waikato vs Auckland shield match but struggling to find them on the net anywhere.
Any ideas guys?

@Nepia Hey - No. 1 was an All Black. He had an exceptional record of coming from the bench in every test he played in and scoring a try in every test he played in.
He also lost every test he played in!
Ill-fated Stu Wilson as captain tour!
Damn, I loosely know the name, but that's about it. I'm glad I was more interested in playing that supporting in those days, that tour would have been frustrating as fudge for supporters.

Many thanks to @Bovidae for help with sourcing the player names.
1993 Ranfurly Shield - Waikato vs Auckland starting XVs
1993 Ranfurly Shield Rugby - Waikato vs Auckland
Can you name the starting lineups when Waikato ended Auckland's record Ranfurly Shield reign?

@booboo A tip: I only type in the players surname so never worry about their first name.
@Bovidae my point about his first name is that he used the correct number of i's. I applaud his Scottish heritage. Too many of English heritage scrimp on the correct number of vowels in the spelling.
FYI I dont usually guess with the first name. Unless something like "Jonah" is going to get recognised.
Was perturbed that no matter how many timeszl I typed "Fitzy" or "Fitzpatrick" it wasn't accepted.

@Nepia The only AB game I saw live in 12 years was the Twickenham match that Stu Wilson captained....
Urrgh. I saw us get beaten by France in 1994 but that had the try from the end of the world. I also saw the 1999 debacle but France were on fire that day.
The worst live loss I saw was an ABs v Wobs at Carisbrook in the 00s, we just played shit.

Ive seen 41 tests live but only 4 defeats. 2 against England 73 and 83.
World XV in 92 (first game back in NZ - so I saw back to back defeats) and France 94.
All were shocking in their own way
So you have a 90% winning record. Impressive.
FYI I'm unbeaten after 7 ...
