Ben Franks is the older brother of fellow All Black Owen Franks, and his versatility in the scrum makes him an important member of Graham Henry's World Cup squad. He made his debut in 2010 against Ireland, scoring a try in the process, on the back of some strong performances for the Crusaders.
Would the All Blacks benefit from selecting any of these overseas-based players if New Zealand's eligibility laws were tweaked?
With no firm indication that the season will re-commence any time soon, fans might have already seen the last of a slew of players - including the ex-Wales out-half.
