Canterbury Maori Development Jamie Auld Blair Colombus Lou Harmon Lewis Pou Matt Ritani Dayne Wipou ALL BLACK NO. 1124 - Ryan Crotty The Club celebrated the selection of Ryan in the All Blacks when he made his debut against Australia in August 2013. This initial selection was followed by the end of season tour to the Northern Hemisphere where he appeared in several matches off the bench. While Ryan has had limited opportunities to play for the Club since he left school, it was great to see him on the sidelines for Division One games throughout the season and enjoying the team’s success. As the 4th All Black from our Club, we are extremely proud of his efforts at all levels, and we look forward to seeing his continued selection and development in future seasons. And… we are proud to report that Ryan scored the winning try in the recent nail-biting win against Ireland!
