    BBC thinking Aura may be losing interest in being a dominatrix...

    New Zealand: Is the All Blacks' era of rugby dominance coming to an end?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/49678113

    The most interesting thing with that article was realising Colin shade is a 2 time World Cup winner 🤔

    Weird to think he has two rwc winners medals and people like Umaga and Jonah have none .

          and never capped! Great quiz question

          Edit: so potentially eligible for another team? He could be the only person to potentially win two RWC medals for two different countries then? Does eligibility trigger on selection, or on playing?

              Almost as good a quiz question as the name of the US player who played for the ABs when they were en-route to the UK in 1967.. (or was it '72?)

              Don't know the name....

                @Victor-Meldrew all blacks.com has no AB's born in North America.

                I have also checked the team lists for the matches played in Nth America (British Colombia & Eastern Canada in 67 and BC and New York in 72) and there are no one-off caps or players that weren't established NZ provincial players.

                I do recall a (Kiwi born) one off ring in against Western Australia at some stage but can't find him.

                I also fondly remember as a young boy a photo in the 72/73 Post Tour Magazine of a group of AB's (Wyllie, Sutherland, Norton...) out at a Bavarian Beer Hall in 72. They were being served by a very buxom wench who was leaning forward over their table. Not one of the AB's was looking at the camera

                    Stapleton was an Aussie ring in, not a kiwi though and there’s a NSW player was bought in for a game too

                          There was two Solomon’s in the abs , they were brothers from American Samoa but one was born in Fiji .

                          I’m pretty sure Tongan born Walter Batty was the first Pi ab. He went on to be a in the NZ artillery in the North African campaign and be given a medal for his bravery under fire .

                            That'll be it - not sure if Fijian born counts? I only remember them because one of them was a relation of Josh Kronfeld somehow.

                                @jegga Yeah, don't think there was much in the way of eligibility rules then (or who you "identified" with). Kaino was always called the second US AB so depends on how you define it.

                                Just googled - interesting. Dave was a step brother and their dad was the mayor of Levuka (then Fijian capital) before they came to NZ.

                                Amazing the things that you learn whilst trying to avoid doing any work.

                                  @jegga Yeah, don't think there was much in the way of eligibility rules then (or who you "identified" with). Kaino was always called the second US AB so depends on how you define it.

                                  Just googled - interesting. Dave was a step brother and their dad was the mayor of Levuka (then Fijian capital) before they came to NZ.

                                  Amazing the things that you learn whilst trying to avoid doing any work.

                                  Interesting, so I guess that settles it .

                                  Weird that we had a player with West Indian heritage before one with Pi

                                      American Samoa?

                                      Three from there I think . One from the Chatham Islands but none from Stewart island that I can recall

                                      Robert Mathieson.

                                      Bruce Hunter also has a record that won't be beaten. He played in both AB tour games in Perth held on the same day in 1970 on their way to SA. Scored 5 tries across both games too.
