John Schuster is one of the most underrated All Blacks.

His relationship with Kipper was magical

[taniwharugby]

@Tim was a favorite, was gutted when he went to league

[Tim]

@taniwharugby Yeah, my brother and I used to love "Johnny the Schu".

I think Wellington might miss out on both of those guys:

@Crucial said in Your Ultimate NPC Team - A virtual comp. How it works:

A player can only play in one team. Province caps decides where if double selected

Lomu is mine. My precious.

[Canes4life]

Surprised no one has mentioned Lima Sopoaga... I guess his departure to Southland counts him out though.

If we can’t have Lomu then mine would be.

Goodes was always injured.

[Canes4life]

@Winger yeah but he was bloody solid when he did. If concussion didn’t ruin his career then he would probably have been the Canes best ever aswell. No doubt he would have reached the ABs with how he was playing back in 2015.

Good side. Except Weepu who was too slow at getting the ball away. Needed with this backline. I'd still have Umaga at his best though on the wing

[raznomore]

@Duluth ok I’ll go Savea in for Jonah and Preston in at 10

[Bones]

Mad I say.

I've given you an upvote just for the nostalgic anti Weepu post.

And @sparky I suspect Ron Jarden was pre-NPC, otherwise I like that side

His ability to hit targets in traffic was superb though. Good halfback, not as pure a pass as Smith, but then who has that?

So’oialo over Vito is nuts
