My Latest All Blacks Quiz

I didn't get the 1932-34 player.

Just as well the abbreviations worked as answers.

Edit: why is a player from the 1980s more well known than 3 current players?

Because there weren't as many back then ... and we're all ageing.

Because he's a world cup winner

I still think if you asked the average rugby fan to name the 1987 RWC squad more people would exclude him than remember him. That comment isn't a reflection on his ability, more that he was never a first-choice AB and played so few tests.

But we weren't asked to name the 87 RWC squad. We were asked to come up with an AB player from the mid 80's with a double-barreled surname.

You mused why that person was more well known than some playing today and Boo pointed out it was novel in the 80's and I added he was a WC winner (plus as was said we are all old bastards)

You can have a crack at the 1987 squad if you want!

I got there eventually with 7 secs remaining. The city listed last was the final one I needed. Just as well I got that one as I've been to RWC games there myself.
