The All-Airport XV.

I said in an earlier post that hooker is the hardest position to fill In this team as you can’t reach a high level in rugby in that position without having a go. Both of the above players can/could play. Height and having to bulk up for scrummaging meant they were going to lose a level of mobility and skill. I think Roches coach at school may’ve considered moving him to 7, but it’s a brave man to play the incumbent Australian schoolboys hooker out of position.

Quinn Tupaea. This guy is a special kind of nonsense.

Fits the All Airport XV criteria perfectly in that he looks the part but holy shit does not play the part.

Still not convinced, at all, by Tupaua. Or Havili. Still seem like 3rd rate leftovers if you ask me.

Some dissension over Freier therefore OUT

1 Al Baxter: (still not convinced his early rep for crap scrumming didnt just follow him around thus allowing lazy refs an easy out)

Jeez, hooker is hard to fill. They’re usually tough buggers who have to have a dig to be a pro, but generally hard on the eye. Like there aren’t many pretty boy hookers. What about the Faaingaa brother with the dreads?

Bit left field, Phil Kearns; RWC winner as a hooker, but his output in the commentary booth has “dented” his legacy a bit.

Removing this player from All Airport XV considerations.

He has become highly effective, especially around the rucks.
