@delicatessen good call, maybe 2003 world cup. Mauger was a backup 10 whereas Carter was still a 12.

Correct.
@delicatessen Mauger had two starts at 1st 5, against the Baabaas in 2004 and Fiji in 2002. Nonu played 2nd 5 against the Baabaa’s (his first start at 2nd for the ABs) and Gibson was 2nd 5 in the Fiji test.
