Somervilles nickname is yoda named after a likeness to the star wars figure, ben Blair scored 37 pts on debut for the all blacks in a non test match v ireland A. Chris Jack loves old cars and owns a vintage mustang, Justin Marshall was named in 2009 NZ rugby almanacks best all black team of the last 25 yrs, a lot of outrage from ppl who said he couldnt pass. A taranaki player mark stewart smashed his fiancees jaw at paul Titos wedding. was later charged.

Thanks for that CC, here's what I've got thus far

The Baa-Baa's Unplugged

<strong>1 - Clarke Dermody (New Zealand)</strong>
is from Southland stock. His grandad is the Southland's highest capped player wtih 124 games played. His old man played 62, and Clarke has run out 91 times for Southland.

<strong>2 - Sebastien Bruno (France)</strong>

<strong>3 - BJ Botha (South Africa)</strong>

<strong>4 - Chris Jack (New Zealand)</strong>
Chris Jack loves old cars and owns a vintage mustang

<strong>5 - Paul Tito (uncapped)</strong>
his fiancees jaw was smashed by Taranaki player Mark Stewart at his wedding. He's also quite possibly the only red headed Maori.

<strong>6 - Jerry Collins (New Zealand)</strong>
Former Kiwi Samoan hard man's notable achievments include pissing on the field [<a href="http://video.gothetahs.com/JCPee.mpg">Video</a>], continuing his work as a garbage man despite being loaded from rugby, and being Beau Robinson's bitch [<a href="http://video.gothetahs.com/S1408/Tahs/20080216-Tahs.v.Canes-Feature1-Beau's.Bitch.mp4">Videp</a>].

<strong>7 - Phil Waugh (Australia, captain)</strong>
Playing for his Wallaby future, Phil will be dining on an entree of George Smith (assuming he comes in off the wing) and a main of Zimbabwean delicacy David Pocock. Captaining the Baa-Baa's for the first time, Phil will look to improve his already impressive winning record at the SFS, with Rocky in the team I doubt he's ever lost there.

<strong>8 - Rocky Elsom (Australia)</strong>
Fresh from his Man of the Match performances in the Heineken Cup Final where he apparently impressed Brian O'Driscoll, if "I would say he's the best player I have ever played with and I have played with many good players” is anything to go by. Rocky returns to SFS to demand his inclusion in the oddly numbered 29 man Wallaby squad.


<strong>9 - Chris Whitaker (Australia)</strong>
Former Waratahs stalwart Chris has also tasted HK victory in recent weeks and will look to teach young Burgwan the ways of the scrumhalf.

<strong>10 - Luke McAlister (New Zealand)</strong>
Returning from Europe this former All Bluck pinup is hoping to regain his fly-half role from Stephen Donald with a standout performance against Giteau.

<strong>11 - Josh Lewsey (England)</strong>
Bought into the squad to gain Cronulla fans, Josh Lewsey is famous for watching Topsy Ojo and have "two in a bed sex" with a kiwi on the last England tour to New Zealand.

<strong>12 - Seilala Mapusua (Samoa)</strong>
One of the form centres from the Top 14, look for powerful midfield running from Seilala to test Berrick's hostpital cover

<strong>13 - Sonny Bill Williams (uncapped)</strong>
Taking on Stirling Mortlock will be the biggest challenge to date that Sonny Bill has faced in his short Rugby career since running out on the Bulldogs. Will the crowd treat SBW as a hero or a villain?

<strong>14 - Iain Balshaw (England)</strong>

<strong>15 - Geordan Murphy (Ireland)</strong>
Mastered the AFL banana kick during the week, now look for him to return AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s midfield bombs with great vengeance and furious anger.


Reserves:
<strong>16 - Schalk Brits (South Africa)</strong>

<strong>17 - Greg Somerville (New Zealand)</strong>
nicknamed Yoda named after a likeness to the star wars figure

<strong>18 - Martin Corry (England)</strong>

<strong>19 - Serge Betsen (France)</strong>

<strong>20 - Justin Marshall (New Zealand)</strong>
Part owns a bar in Christchurch called "The Grumpy Mole", rumoured to be named after himself. He was named in the 2009 NZ Rugby almanacks best All Black team of the last 25 yrs, to the outrage of many who said he couldn't pass.

<strong>21 - Glen Jackson (uncapped)</strong>
Many thought he should have been an All Black, a local legend in Rotorua parts.

<strong>22 - Ben Blair (New Zealand)</strong>
Scored 37 pts on debut for the all blacks in a non test match v ireland A

Moses, it wasn't Tito's fiancee who had her jaw smashed, but Stewart broke his own fiancee's jaw.
