    Rangi Vallance looked like he had McCaw's spot. 🤔

    That sounds like an obscure pub quiz question

    From memory I don't think Marty ever represented any Waikato age group teams until senior level.

    Played one season of npc, then Chiefs seemed to be a bit of a toss up between him and Dave Dillon at BOP, Marty got it and pretty sure same season ended up in the AB's? So very quick rise up through the ranks (if my hazy recollection is correct).

    Yeah, that's why I reckon it was Vallance as Harding is the only "pure" openside out of that lot.

    Or Martin “twitchy” Leslie although he could play all three positions pretty damn well.

    Holah definitely never played for any NZ age-group teams. St John's wasn't exactly a rugby school so maybe he wasn't on the Waikato radar either until senior club rugby.

    OK. I have no idea who Vallance is, but he's a local to you.

    Yep, he's from Hawkes Bay, was a schoolboy star, didn't go very far in senior rugby although did play test and 7s for the Cooks.
