All Blacks: Enterprise Crew in disguise?
Is it just me, or is John Mitchell's selection policy for the the All Blacks based around the players' resemblance to characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation?


Jean-Luc & John Mitchell


Riker & Reuben Thorne


Worf & Tana Umaga


Data & Christian Cullen

Yeees, I know, Cully isn't in the squad as of now, but he'll be back...

And the Riker/Rueben resemblance is even more striking now that the All Black captain has got his carefully shaved beard action on the go, mimicking the hirsute look that Riker got going after season 2 of TNG. Couldn't find a pic of the AB #6 with the new look, though, so had to run with this, older comparison...
