10 Can't decide between Dan Carter and Stephen Donald.
The Duck every time.
Carter sucks at whitebaiting.

I just tried to pick players that gave me the most happiness and I couldn't decide between the extended time of happiness Carter provided or the elation of what Donald provided

RWC2011. The Duck comes on in an shirt 3 sizes too small, there's a penalty to NZ. He walks up to McCaw and, from lip-reading, he simply says, "just give me the fucking ball". Cometh the hour cometh the man
So yeah, I know what you mean.

@Nepia Yeah neither. Fantastically skilled player and as you say he had a good test career. Never should have been dropped by that BBF Mitchell (I'd also add Razor and Mehrts to that list).
Cribb and Flavell in that era were a criminal waste of talent. OK, the latter lacked discipline, but I wonder if he would have been managed better by Henry or Hansen.

I think he's a NZ citizen now so he could kind of count?

Watching the 2004 Paris game and if wingers came in pairs, I'd select Joe and Dougie.

For me: Christian Cullen John Kirwan Jeff Wilson Anton Lienert-Brown Mark Taylor Beauden Barrett Dave Loveridge
Wayne Shelford Duane Monkley Ian Kirkpatrick Brodie Retallick Ian Jones Steve McDowell Sean Fitzpatrick Craig Dowd. Would have Dmac and Richie McCaw on the bench for sure. Maybe add Kees Meeuws Keith Robinson Liam Messam Hika Reid Brad Weber Bruce Smith
