Frank BunceFrank Bunce was a late starter as an All Black, not being capped until the age of 30 in 1992. He had brought himself to the attention of New Zealand coach Laurie Mains after being part of Western Samoa’s giant killing effort in reaching the quarter finals of the 1991 World Cup. From his first appearance for NZ through to his last international outing in 1997 he only missed one game, amassing 55 caps and forming one of the outstanding midfield partnerships of the era with North Harbour team-mate Walter Little. Known for his bone jarring tackles Bunce was the anchor of the All Black backline, but he also knew his way to the goal line scoring 20 tries for his country. At the time of his retirement from the international scene he was the second oldest to have ever played for the All Blacks and the oldest back. He continued to ply his trade in France, England and Italy and finally hung up his boots at the age of 42. | Jeremy PaulJeremy Paul, Australia’s most capped hooker has worn the green and gold 72 times and was a fixture in the ACT Brumbies side for nigh on a decade until his move to English side Gloucester in 2007. During a period between 2000 and 2004 the Brumbies were the dominant Super 12 team winning the title twice and finishing runners-up twice. Paul played like a third flanker and his mobility and ball handling skills enabled him to accumulate 14 tries for his country and 23 for his club side. He won the coveted John Eales Medal in 2005 which is awarded each year to honour the best Australian rugby union player. This is rightfully considered to be the ultimate award in Australian rugby as the votes are cast after every international match throughout the year by each member of the team |
