My Latest All Blacks Quiz

some tough spelling on a certain Fijian wingers name.

That got me as well.

I even tried Joe. Years of seeing the name and still couldn't picture it under time and typing pressure.

Best way to remember it is to remember that the C is a TH sound, well works for me.

This one isn't new but nearly nobody took it when I posted it in 2016. Perhaps got the timing wrong. 2019 RWC Host cities.

All Blacks Test Captains in South Africa during tours from 1928-1996

The quiz wouldn't accept my correct answer (surname) for the 1960 captain. I didn't know the second 1949 captain.

Spelt 1960 wrong.

Missed the 2nd 49 ... but would have got him as I knew he captained against the Lions so woukd have tried him.

Maybe I didn't spell him wrong ... ?

@bovidae just checked. You're right. Surname only doesn't work. Works for full name (christian-name surname).

Thanks guys, fixed up the type in for 1960.

dogmeat

also missed 2nd 49 - should have got him as he is usually one of my defaults from that period i.e. one of the few names I know

dogmeat

@rugger-quizzes So I was able to get the ones most knew simply by rolling off Japanese cities. Would never have got the others - EVER

I did the same thing as a check.

Nepia

I didn't get the 2nd 49, knew the name as soon as I heard it, but never would have thought of it.

Had a shocker.

Only 5.

A couple i could "see" but just had a blank on their name. Sheesh. Including one of the most successful (think 2007). And one of the least successful (2003).

Really should only have missed the first one. Had no clue. The rest should have been easy. I'm obviously getting old and my memor ... what?

Bovidae

Not that easy. I got 8/12. I knew the background of the 1993-94 coach but couldn't remember his name, and I remember the 1996 Bok coach now. I never would have gotten the 2000-02 coach as I was in rugby wasteland (USA) and never saw any 3N games.
