Important voting has started on New Zealand’s best ‘tache! Any early predictions on who’ll take the title?

Who could challenge the Kiwis if polled globally?

On the England side of the equation you've got Roger Uttley & Mike Teague.

Bob Burgess, first five in the early-70s.

Keith Murdoch, prop also from the early-70s.

Common amongst the Wellington players by the look of it

Murdoch is the prizewinner for mine but Bob Burgess is a good call too, Kiwias.

Guys, perhaps put both the names and the photos.
Not sure which is worse - just putting 2 names down without any photos or the proceeding photos of tached players without names. 🤬🤬

This was an AB’s related think-piece on this important subject from a couple of years ago.

They have gone with Aaron Smith at 9 which frankly is a travesty. Say what you like about his pass, but Andy Ellis sported a crisp moustache.

Many All Blacks in the early-mid '70s sported impressive mos on occasion. Along with those already mentioned, I remember Grant Batty, Super Sid, Bee Gee, Milk Bottle Seear, Andy Haden, Bill Osborne...

Then there were all the outstanding mutton chops; a topic that probably deserves its own thread tbf.

Names with no photos is far worse.

Round 2! I'm surprised Fraser has pulled away so much. How does one get that rounded shape of Stanley's? That's got some style, imo.

Rhubarb was my first thought, but that pic doesn’t do it justice. He had a proper Wing-Commander handlebar thing going on at one point.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Sorry, can’t make the image link work properly. Better shot of the Jackson effort.

Haha that is a better effort. I was trying to get a decent one of him with the tache and mullet combo. The lad can grow some impressive face furniture.
