So they can be subs as well?

Counties' Brett Wilson might have started in a mid week game.

@toddy said in AB Quizzes (Wingers + others):

Did Taumoepeau ever start at hooker? Or was he a prop who could cover hooker. Can't remember now.

Touted as an option but never played there for the ABs.

Trying to think whether that Aucklander that went on the Cavaliers tour ever played for the ABs? Can't remember his name.

With this one I looked at playing order and the games, so it covers the field. A little easier for hookers given it’s a specialist position.

Wingers was a little harder to do given back subs so just had starters.

Was there another Canterbury hooker during the Shield era?

I know...Phil Cropper!

Cropper didn’t make the ABs, I know criminal right 😉

Played both hooker and loose forward for Canterbury.

That's the one I was thinking of that went on the Cavaliers tour. Thought he was a jaffa.

[Chris B.]

@act-crusader Yeah - I'm just recalling the outrage in Keith Quinn's voice when Cropper (a flanker) came on as a sub early in a Shield challenge against Auckland - and Canterbury insisted on going to golden oldies scrums.

I gave up and cheated. Good luck to anyone that can remember 24. I didn't.
