[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 726138, member: 38640"] Weird, a huge majority of his All Blacks tests were on the wing. It was really only until 1999 that he started being used there regularly. From 1993-1999 he was pretty much always behind Timu/Osbourne/Cullen as a choice at fullback and was really only used at fullback because they were trying to incorporate Umaga, Cullen, Lomu and Wilson in a backline and hadn't worked out to put Umaga at centre rather than Cullen. Even for Otago and Highlanders he was mainly used on the wing. [/QUOTE]
