That's funny, I was coming to post that and ask how many current players would be selected in a combined team.
I'd probably take Paps at 7 for the Blues, and Smith at 9 for the Landers.

even the 1998 versions of Dowd, Brown, Brooke and Jones are leaps better than right now.

2 - Eklund over Roose
7 - Papalii over Carter
8 - Akira Ioane over Rush
9 - is a toss up, but Christie would be better in a big game, as Tonu'u was prone to errors (see 2018 final!)
13 - Clarke was very underrated (especially by Hart), but Rieko Ioane probably takes that one -

Kind of amazing that Hart ignored Tony Marsh and Eroni Clarke, but went for guys like Mark Ranby, Mark Mayerhofler (so bad!), and moved Cullen into centre.
Prior to coaching the ABs in 1996, he published an autobiography that stated that he thought an AB coach should only be there for two year periods. He was right about himself!

Ranby was not an All Black under Hart, I think he went on a NZ Baabaas tour though?

I wonder if crowds will be allowed at Forsyth Barr?
Can they argue it's outdoors as it has openings?

As much as I have laughed at the Jordie to 12 cohort (mainly because he never plays there) I would actually like to see it.
I think Jordan needs to play looser than we require at 15 so he can stay on the wing and Perofeta can play fullback (or go whole hog and get Zarn Sullivan in there)(more one for the ABs thread but following up on the comment above)

@crucial me too, im not convinced its the answer but there is a question at 12 that needs to be answered

Moana Pasifika said it remained committed to limiting the number of supporters in the interests of public safety. "We always intended to stick with our small bubbles of 100 (to a maximum of 900), regardless of any government announcement,'' a Moana Pasifika spokesperson said. "This is because we are conscious of our Pasifika fan base in South Auckland and note that Covid is still rampant in our communities, who are most vulnerable. "Despite the change, we will also be keeping our Tuesday match at limited capacity.'' The Highlanders will host the Blues in Dunedin on Saturday afternoon. Stuff was seeking clarity from the Highlanders as to whether capacity crowds would be allowed into Forsyth Barr Stadium, the only enclosed venue in New Zealand. -
That's a yes for crowds in Dunedin

The zoo will be feral. Loads of 'free' O week tickets to use up.
