I suspect given current trends I may have to update this one frequently in future!

So more people got 1932-34 than 2013! I got neither

Me too

[Bovidae]

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.

[dogmeat]

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.

I spelt it wrong, after going through a bunch of other cities from the same country.

I was surprised another city from that country wasn't on the list.

Probably the same one as me? Starting with an M?

[Bovidae]

@Nepia Yes. It's a regular test venue.
