Beaver's all time NZ Super sides

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

I'd swap which side of the scrum Brown and Woodcock are on.

Did the original post have them the wrong way around?

Yeah I made the edit just before.

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.

Rhys Duggan for life!
(i have a soft spot for our "close but not quite" battlers)

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

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

Would love to see that against the Saders all time XV.

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

Bring your boys

[mariner4life]

I hate these fucking threads but I also love them

Are they the best players who played for your franchise?

Ot the players who were best for your franchise?

Two different questions

[Grooter]

@mariner4life players who were the best for the franchise, so I'm sorry to say Nonu & Woodcock wouldn't make the lineup for their efforts at mine

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.

Beaver named his top Highlanders all time XV last night. Debate away Landers supporters.

4. Simon Maling
5. James Ryan
6. Taine Randell
7. Josh Kronfeld
8. Isitolo Maka
9. Aaron Smith
10. Lima Sopoaga
11. Waisake Naholo
12. John Leslie
13. Malakai Fekitoa
14. Jeff Wilson
15. Ben Smith

@Canes4life I'm too young to have seen Kronfeld and Randell play in real time however their names are etched into the folklore of Otago/Landers rugby but their loose forward mate Maka at 8 I'm sadly unfamiliar with! Newby the 1st 8 I remember but Nasi Manu was inspirational so would be in my XV

[Nepia]

Maka was great for a period. Big bruising number 8.

Brown over Lima for me.
