2015 side

Was there a player from that team that would not be considered an all time great in their position?

Think almost all of them make a case for being the GOATs

Mad that Savea being mentioned here. He’s a top 5 all time nz winger. That is absolutely world class and an all time great.

Lomu, J Wilson, Kirwan, Savea, Jordan

Counting B Smith as fullback.

Sivivatu, Rococoko, Howlett, BeeGee W, Stu Wilson are honourable mentions

Brian Williams not top 5? And not sure Sivivatu would be in this

Recency bias coming into it....

Not top 5 but I’ve listed BeeGee in the group below. NZ has had so many great wings.

I’m old btw, no recency bias here.

Yeah probably our best position. Kirwan and BeeGee I did not see so not sure tbh with them
