    Dr King, founder of Plunkett, probably saved and enriched the lives of hundreds of thousands of kiwis. Racist sexist fluffybunny, but the foundation has done huge amounts of good

    Na, you go down that road then the 25 will all be affiliated with Rugby somehow.

    Meads and Lomu for me, that’s absolutely it

    Setting aside my bias based on name alone, I genuinely think it's crazy to overlook Nepia who was the first huge NZ and worldwide rugby superstar.

    Fair enough, he might have a case too but even just three out of 25 is seriously overdoing it.

    With cricket KW is the only one who’d challenge Paddles and even then he wasn’t the first to do anything like Sir RJ was.

    Probably agree with you on cricket, although that doesn't mean much coming from me. 🙂
