Grizz's famous moustache became more famous during his coaching tenure than his playing days. Hence he becomes the team coach. 

The captain, based on era-adjusted caps of 113.93, is Gary Whetton. 

The bench includes 2 All Blacks who were uncapped, but deserving of their spot due to their virility.
