Has to be with Carter so I'll go for Kelleher/Carter

yes. 20 matches

Noticed he only had about half his matches accounted for and even taking out those at 12 and those as a sub there was a big gap.

Crucial

Given how well known the Marshall/Mehrts combo is/was I can only assume that it has been talked up over the years by cantabs or a bloke with a microphone

ACT Crusader

Fun facts / Bonus question - In that period we had 26 halfback/1st 5 combos start in only one test/match. One of the halfbacks started in 3 tests, each of those was with a different 1st 5. Can you name the halfback and the 1st 5s he started with?

There were the 90s glory days (which I haven't covered)!

@ACT-Crusader If it is the halfback I think it is, he started in 4 tests with a different 1st 5 in each.

Devine started 7 tests - Spencer 6 and Mertz 1 only (Carter started at 2nd 5 in 3 of those tests)

If it's the one I think you are thinking of, I've only got 3 matches.

Just to clarify it is 3 matches (2 tests and 1 non-test)

ACT Crusader

@Bovidae I think I know who who were thinking about and yes he did start 4 tests with 4 different 1st 5s, but he also started in 1 non-test with one of those 1st 5s - so 5 starts

Bovidae

@ACT-Crusader Yeah, I wasn't counting the last game as a test.

Bovidae

For anyone wondering, the halfback I am referring to is Brendon Leonard, who in his 4 tests starts had Evans, McAlister, Donald and Carter at 1st 5. But he also had Donald at 1st 5 when the ABs played the Barbarians. So that's NOT the answer.
