Ok, I've discovered 19 players that were a part of the 2007 ARC, that are part of 2015 NRC squads. This is not including guys in the RWC squad (nor James Horwill).

Without googling, let's see if you can name them. Bonus points for knowing who they played for in 2007.
 

Learned One

Allen Oxlade (6)
From the Sydney Stars , possibly Tom Carter,Dave Dennis,David Hickey,Jeremy Tilse, Pat McCutcheon, Paddy Ryan? No idea of the team names in 2007.

Dave Dennis
Jeremy Tilse

correct for all except David Hickey and Paddy Ryan.

Tilse, McCutcheon and Carter were all in the Sydney Fleet Squad.

Dave Dennis was with the Melbourne Rebels.

Correct on those Sydney guys already mentioned.

Also correct on Treloard (Rays), Higgers (Ballymore Tornadoes), Johansson (East Coast Aces) and Lealiifano (Vikings).

Coleman is a no. Hodgson no on a technicality as he missed the 2007 comp through injury (although was in the TV ad).
 

Intruder

Dave Cowper (27)
Luke Holmes
Josh Holmes
Saia Fainga'a
Anthony Fainga'a
Francis Fainifo
Ita Vaea
Ben Batger

Does Pete Playford count as coach?

What about Reg's all time favourite Beau Robinson? I'm guessing he was a Central Coast Ray in 2007.

Saia Fainga'a (Vikings)
Anthony Fainga'a (Vikings)
Radike Samo

Luke Holmes (assume Rays)


Peter Playford (surely being the coach counts as part of a squad)!

yes to all except the last two.

Josh played for the Rams.

Saia, Anthony and Franky all played for the Vikings.

Ita wasn't around then and Batger aint around now.

Playford doesn't count as coach, but only because you didn't name the other player-coach combo.

Yes, for big bad Beau who was with the mighty Rays.

No for DK. Yes for Holmes who was at the Perth Spirit.

Two to go (plus the other player-coach combo).
