It was slightly different.

It was similar to the Serge Blanco ones at the Players' Edition, which was more than double the price.

Serge lining his pockets nicely.

Yeah, he's done all right.

There's been a few Serge Blanco editions, haven't there, across the clubs.

I think the clubs must have, yeah, because they all wear like the playing shirt.

There's like a corduroy jacket type thing, sort of thing that very similar to what you might be wearing there, Richard, but in a kind of khaki green, which they do look very good in.

Jason McDowell, two years New Zealand secondary school's fullback, which is a good effort to do two years for Napier boys.

Played fullback for Hawke's Bay as a schoolboy against the French team with Serge Blanco.

Hit two drop goals, then headed to Canterbury University.

Never heard of again.

That's

a very good one.

So Serge Blanco is possibly one of my favourite rugby players of all time.

Yeah?

Yeah, it was.
