Back online after a fleeting visit from the inlaws! Latest quiz. All Blacks Top 5 by category. http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/new-zealand-all-blacks-rugby-top-5-players-by-category
That was tough, I missed the last most capped back, and the last top try scorer.

@Nepia I thought the top 5 quiz was reasonably easy. It helps that the same name can be across multiple categories.
@booboo @Smudge When checking info on said AB (from Men in Black and Rugby Museum website) I noted that he is still alive if the info is current. He turned 94 last week.
Yeah was weighing up on doing a feature story on him, but I've heard mixed reports on his health.

Half thinking of doing a quiz which contains every All Black ever.
Is it insanity to do a quiz with 1157 answers?
Who would have the time and inclination to actually take such a quiz?

@Rugger-Quizzes Maybe compromise and do it with ABs after 1970.
For the pre-1960s, most of us are going to be a bit lost after typing in Smith, Brown and Jones...and Nepia, Brownlie, Cooke and Gallagher....

On second thoughts it's maybe a bit too ambitious. Do I cut it off at players who have appeared in the World Cup era perhaps?

@Rugger-Quizzes or the pro era?
@booboo Soooo......you're starting to suspect that your recall of all that Men in Black reading isn't quite as good as it was?
Whatever you do RQ, make sure you set a generous time limit. I used to be fantastic at TV quizzes, but these days I find that I know soooooo much that it take my brain a while to find the right answer.
It's about as annoying as having to wear reading glasses to assist my previously excellent eyesight.
I console myself that the rest of you feckers have got it all in front of you - especially the ones who wear fitbits excessively!

Hmmm. 1996 Onwards? I'm kind of blinded by the nostalgia of the 1987 RWC winners to not include them.

@Rugger-Quizzes My vote would be 1980 onwards so you include historic tours like the 1981 Boks, 1983 Lions, Baby Blacks etc, as well as the 1987 RWC.

I think I've decided what I'll do now. I was born in 1975 so all All Blacks in my lifetime. Watch this space!

@Bovidae Good call re those tours.

Some names I've never heard of in there. Went on 1 tour and that's it etc.
