More well-known names in the NR team. The front row all played for the Chiefs, an AB7s player, a couple of ABs, and a rugby writer/journalist. The spread of PUs in the CR team would never happen now.
Of course not, because that team will be selected from Canes central so it will be 90% Wellingtonians.
I played with two of the Central Regions team, played against four that I know of - but there's two HB players I've never heard of so may have played against them.
It;'s a weird selection really, there's good schoolboy players missing from that team, but some like Kerr are there, then there's guys a year out of school.

basically the cream of age grade rugby in the entire North Island in a given year, maybe 2 years before they hit senior rugby, and there's 2 (and a half) ABs (and a Flying Fijian).
See my post above, I don't think that was the cream at least for the Central Region (well aside from Cullen, and TBF that back 3 is pretty handy), and it took me a while to figure out the flying Fijian was Smith.

@booboo Arron Pullman played over 150 games for Waitemata in the Auckland club comp , also played Auckland Bs
Stood around 6’5 -6’6 with a very solid frame , would have easily played provincial rugby if he moved away from Auckland
One of those locks in the Brent Anderson mould
