The amount of posts with this backline suggestion…..

15 Cullen
14 Wilson
13 Umaga
12 Ieremia
11 Lomu

…..would have crashed the system !

Bunce called for
Cullen
Wilson
Osborne
Umaga
Lomu

even before Ossie carved up the Jocks. Said Osbourne had the skill set to be a great 13. Hart of course knew better

Further down on that page there was a few people who have posted in the last year or so: Bartman, Watu, Crucial, Joan and Mary, WillieTheWaiter & Team Rebel aka Taniwharugby

One of the many things that tells me I'm well into my dotage is that most of you pricks are now (much) older than I was when I joined the fern

“Silver fern ? Or shitty feather ?” sounds like an intriguing thread

[Kiwiwomble]
