@delicatessen good call, maybe 2003 world cup. Mauger was a backup 10 whereas Carter was still a 12.

Correct.
@delicatessen Mauger had two starts at 1st 5, against the Baabaas in 2004 and Fiji in 2002. Nonu played 2nd 5 against the Baabaa’s (his first start at 2nd for the ABs) and Gibson was 2nd 5 in the Fiji test.

There's not many other combos from your list that appeal as playing 10 together.

Although the final combo to guess does run counter to your point, hint hint…

@ACT-Crusader did someone say Carter/Crotty?

No.
But that 10/12 combo only started once together.
Side fact, Carter and Crotty also started once as a 10/13 combo.
