So, 51st would gave been Big Red's dad. Or Braid senior. 1983 tour to Eng & Sco minus our tight five.

You mean the Gary Braid listed at 50 already?

My bad. .... didn't read that, just read 1984 aus tour as cutoff.

Actually, I'd be wrong anyway. Andy Haden would be 51st on the list with Alistair Robindon 52nd.

Haden played France home tests in 1984 but then missed the 84 Aussie tour for 'professionalism protest' reasons.

Steve Cutler cleaned out our Haden-less lineout in test one, but paid the price in test 2 by having his head rucked open. I guess somethings have gotten better in this sport ...

You mean a different Andy Haden to the one numbered 49th on the list?

I postulated above, without checking, that Haden would have played post Cavaliers, in 1986. But I need to check.

Off to Google.

[booboo]

Yes, was wrong about Haden in 1986. Wiki says last test was v Argies in '85.

Edit: post Baby Blacks locks were Pierce and Whetton.

[Rapido]

List, schmist...

I prefer my not quite 100% memory.

Of course, Haden returned in 85.

So, Robinson 51st.

Since 2000 AB quizzes

I’ve got a few different quizzes for this period.

For reference there have been 292 tests/games that the All Blacks have officially played since 2000 (includes last Bledisloe match).

Question 1 - Which players have started at halfback?

Not too concerned about the order for this.

[Frye]

Will try backwards:

Marshall
Kelleher
Sharky Robinson
Lee
Spice
Devine
Weepu
Matthewson
Leonard
Ellis
Smith
TJP
TKB
Weber
Drummond
Hall
Christie
Fakatava

Yep TTT is the final one.

16 starting halfbacks.

Question 2 - Which players have started at 1st 5?

[Frye]

@ACT-Crusader damn poor Jason Spice didn't even get a run from the bench it appears. NAB Non All Black.

I bet he's not shedding a tear over Perofeta's 60 seconds.
