Ian Stevens???? Halfback for Wellington but I can remember him playing at first five for the All Blacks with his long hair on the 1972 tour to the home unions. Not sure if he played halfback though.
Just looking at his games, during the 73 Europe tour on 3 February he started at halfback against France B, then 4 days later he started at 1st 5 against a French Selection team.

Don’t know him 😀
But Jason was a great All Black from the 91 RWC. Amazing he only played one test and that was a start against Italy.

Fantastic 10 man rugby which became a massive problem once our pack lost dominance and we couldn't find a 1st 5
To be fair, often neither could Sid Going

Smith is not only the best 9 i've seen play for the ABs, he's the best 9 i have ever seen (and i thought Joost would take that mantle forever)
He's the complete player and the best AB 9 for me.
Rob Howley may be the best I've seen (Always world-class - even behind shit Welsh packs) but Nugget pushes him really close.
