@act-crusader Jamie Salmon?
-
Clue for #31 - a Nth Auckland prop that only played a handful of mid-weekers on the Europe tour. Good farming stock.
-
#23 - I don’t think he’s been mentioned, he was a big Auckland prop, over 6’3. He played in one test in 81 (no other games) and it was the loss to the Boks in Welly

@act-crusader Brad Johnstone?
No ideas about the Northlander.

Not Johnstone. His last match for the ABs was in 1980.
#23 was behind Knight and Ashworth, so opportunities were limited.
This from his bio
While he was recognised as one of the strongest props in the game, his tactical appreciation was questioned by some and others, particularly the hard men from country unions, felt they could put him off his game with a bit of intimidation

@act-crusader I've had to cheat.
Never would have got the Northlander. I can't even remember him.
I can remember the Auk now that I've seen him - but, I probably would have needed to go through the names in the phone book to remember him. Luckily, I wouldn't have had to go too far!
