@act-crusader Yeah - I'm just recalling the outrage in Keith Quinn's voice when Cropper (a flanker) came on as a sub early in a Shield challenge against Auckland - and Canterbury insisted on going to golden oldies scrums.

Was there another Canterbury hooker during the Shield era?
John Mills
That's him - we had a run of Johns.

Can you remember that game?
Keith went on and on and on about it. Much to his satisfaction we lost, but it was probably the closest anyone came to beating the Auks in about 5 years.

I gave up and cheated. Good luck to anyone that can remember 24. I didn't.
It’s an obscure one for sure.

shit its worrying when you have no recollection of someone that's played relatively recently, had to look him up, made the AB's in my first year in the UK which in my defense was a bit...foggy...in general

Probably most memorable for retiring after having his neck broken in a scrum - I remember hearing Corey Flynn (the opposing hooker) talking about it. I only started really following rugby in around 2006, and he retired in 2007 so presumably that's why I remember him.

So the elusive #24 is Otago hooker (and captain for a couple of seasons), Ken Bloxham. Went on a tour to Fiji in 1980 and started both games. Neither were test status.

Speaking of Otago 2s I don't think David Latta made it either?

@canefan no he didn't and it was a crime

Ah yes, David Latta. The Otago equivalent of Duane Monkley.
Not good enough but kind of good enough.
