My Take
Ben Sigmund earns my respect for something subtle: he wore the New Zealand shirt at under-17, under-20 and senior level. Representing one nation across every age grade sounds simple but is genuinely uncommon, since so many promising players fade before reaching the top. That continuity speaks of grit and consistency. At 187 cm out of Blenheim, he was surely the kind of physical defender who threw himself into every challenge. I tend to value the unglamorous backbone players who hold a team together more than the showmen, and Sigmund feels like one of those dependable, easily overlooked figures.
