    Apparently, the strongest hooker Beaver had ever seen. So, there are selections like that where Beaver has picked guys based on his own experiences over time.

    Aled wouldn't have looked out of place in that photo of the Boks from a few years ago. His upper body looked like that of a bodybuilder.

      Blues:
      I'd swap which side of the scrum Brown and Woodcock are on.
      Notable he's also included Rieko at centre.
      Keeping Kaino out is a massive mistake.

      Did the original post have them the wrong way around?

        Marty Holah is the best 7 for the Chiefs, sorry Sam.

        Feels wrong not having Jonno Gibbes in the team either.

        You're wrong. I love Holah and he represents my golden years as a Chief's fan (disappointed but very much in love with the team), but Cane is head and shoulders above. Honestly, I'm disappointed that you didn't even mention Lats, that's not cool.

          BTW, Gibbes at 6 with Messam at 8 could work?
          Lauaki off the bench to break some Blues' hearts.

              Probably been said before, but that all time Canes backline would beat anyone anywhere. Such a shame that the two eras those players came from we couldn't field a quality 10, and consistently fielded pop gun tight fives

                I'd love to see that Canes backline go up against that Blues backline. Strike power everywhere.

                      Duggan was a gun. I'm glad he got test capped.

                        That Blues forward pack with the 'Canes backline would be awesome.

                                          Marty Holah is the best 7 for the Chiefs, sorry Sam.

                                          Feels wrong not having Jonno Gibbes in the team either.

                                          You're wrong. I love Holah and he represents my golden years as a Chief's fan (disappointed but very much in love with the team), but Cane is head and shoulders above. Honestly, I'm disappointed that you didn't even mention Lats, that's not cool.

                                          I will fight you fluffybunny

                                          Time and place lets go

                                          Holah
                                          Lats
                                          Cane

                                          At least you finally give Lats some respect.

                                          Cane debuted at 18 years old (prior to turning out for your BOP), played 150 odd games, captained the team for 5 years, twice a champion, twice a runner up, and was the starch in the team for 12 odd years.

                                          Likely loses out as captain of the all time team to Messam.
