My Latest All Blacks Quiz
-
My first guess was "Hastings" thinking "There's two ... ". When it didn't work I looked at the dates...<br><br>
The only names that came to mind were contemporaries of them ... or before...[spoiler] Rutherford Laidlaw Irvine Jeffery Sole Milne Stanger Weir ... even McGeechan [/spoiler]<br><br>
And one I got guessing another blokes surname. [Spoiler]I got Scott Murray guessing Euan [/spoiler]<br><br>
I did think of one but couldn't think of his name.[spoiler] Hines [/SPOILER] -
<p>Not many jocks will like me for saying this, but that list is a sad indictment of Scottish Rugby in that all bar one or two would never figure in a list of Scotland's Greatest Players.</p>

<p>Scottish rugby has gone downhill big time unfortunately.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Time for today's quiz.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/new-zealand-rugby-all-blacks-most-tries-by-a-midfield-back'>http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/new-zealand-rugby-all-blacks-most-tries-by-a-midfield-back</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Midfield backs with 10 or more tries. Tries these guys may have got playing on the wing or elsewhere are not counted.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Surprised how short this list actually is.</p> -
<p>That quiz may be a bit too easy in hindsight.</p>

<p>Took me a while to get 12. Made up for the Scotland one - I gave up when I had just one and couldn't think of that winger's name that would have given me two.</p>

<p>Here's a video of when Scotland was good. Nice soundtrack, plenty of Bill McLaren and I love those elaborate '80s try-scoring celebrations.</p> -

Missed the Aussie on 100. -
<p>Not sure why Nepia, although the late John Drake would castigate him for his scrummaging every time he came to NZ, maybe that's it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Interesting how he played for so long, wasn't that good, however nobody coming through in that position over there until Mike Ross came through.</p> -

<p>How on earth are you guys getting the final Irish one?</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I can't speak for anyone else but I remembered he was one of the Irish centurions from an earlier quiz. A process of elimination.</p> -

<p>I had to reach deep into my brain to remember who he was once the quiz ended and Drake laying into him was what I came up with him.</p> -
