The most interesting thing with that article was realising Colin shade is a 2 time World Cup winner 🤔

I once remember Neil Back saying c. 2010 he was better 7 than McCaw as he'd won a RWC while McCaw hadn't...

Weird to think he has two rwc winners medals and people like Umaga and Jonah have none .

McCaw must be twice as good as him now then ?

@Victor-Meldrew Article has Ireland as finalists.....

Actually makes sense....
"New Zealand's possible route to the final (based on results going with current world rankings)"

@Victor-Meldrew darn - skim read fail again

@jegga More weird that Pauliasi Manu has one
and never capped! Great quiz question
Edit: so potentially eligible for another team? He could be the only person to potentially win two RWC medals for two different countries then? Does eligibility trigger on selection, or on playing?
-
@nzzp playing I believe

Almost as good a quiz question as the name of the US player who played for the ABs when they were en-route to the UK in 1967.. (or was it '72?)
Don't know the name....

@Victor-Meldrew all blacks.com has no AB's born in North America.
I have also checked the team lists for the matches played in Nth America (British Colombia & Eastern Canada in 67 and BC and New York in 72) and there are no one-off caps or players that weren't established NZ provincial players.
I do recall a (Kiwi born) one off ring in against Western Australia at some stage but can't find him.
I also fondly remember as a young boy a photo in the 72/73 Post Tour Magazine of a group of AB's (Wyllie, Sutherland, Norton...) out at a Bavarian Beer Hall in 72. They were being served by a very buxom wench who was leaning forward over their table. Not one of the AB's was looking at the camera

Stapleton was an Aussie ring in, not a kiwi though and there’s a NSW player was bought in for a game too

Americans - Solomon (much earlier), Kaino of course, the third?
There was two Solomon’s in the abs , they were brothers from American Samoa but one was born in Fiji .
I’m pretty sure Tongan born Walter Batty was the first Pi ab. He went on to be a in the NZ artillery in the North African campaign and be given a medal for his bravery under fire .

That'll be it - not sure if Fijian born counts? I only remember them because one of them was a relation of Josh Kronfeld somehow.
