    Who gets on?

    https://www.sen.com.au/news/2022/04/05/the-mount-rushmore-of-highlanders/

    I've got Goldie and the two Smiths. Still deciding on who gets the last spot.

            Did you see the Breakdown this week? Quiz question was who has played over a 100 for his province, a hundred for his franchise and 50 for the ABs.
            It was Cowan.
            No one else has achieved that.

              Modern-day ABs play so little NPC now, that you would need to be of a certain era to even have a chance.

                    The two Smiths pick themselves. I'd chuck in Tony Brown for impact on and off the field. The lost spot, I'd have as a toss up between Kronfeld and Wilson. Leaning towards Kronfeld, just to have a forward in there.

                      Not quite as much, but "Never was, but should have been an All Black" Ash Dixon has pretty impressive stats, too.
                      134 NPC games, of which 111 for Hawke's Bay
                      115 Super Rugby games, of which 100 for the Highlanders (possibly more Highlanders games, not sure about that number)
                      19 Māori All Blacks

                        Kronfeld or Randell for me, it wouldn't be a Highlanders selection without at least one Bay boy in the team.

                          Messam was pretty close. 183 for the Chiefs, 99 for Waikato and 43 for the All Blacks.

                            He was my answer when watching the show. Thought he’d be close
                            I also thought DC might also be close to being a 100 test, 100 Super, 50 provincial player but he only played 20 odd for Canterbury

                                    That would make sense. That 50, 100, 100 club is an achievement these days.

                                        No one else has achieved that.

                                        Messam was pretty close. 183 for the Chiefs, 99 for Waikato and 43 for the All Blacks.

                                        I'm hoping he comes back for one more game for Waikato this season. Liam would have brought up the ton last year if not for covid and having to move to Mt Maunganui to stay in the bubble. He will have 50+ combined games for the ABs and Māori.

                                          I’m not convinced that Wilson or Kronfeld really contributed that much as Landers (Otago different story).

                                          I havent read the article, but my second two would likely be from Oliver, Hoeft, Brown, and perhaps Sopoaga or Naholo (both instrumental in the Championship team)
