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>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> -
<p>Today's quiz, school representation of 2014 All Blacks.</p>

<p>I know a number of guys on this list will have attended more than 1 school however answers taken from All Blacks website.</p> -
<p>Acronyms were for the most part accepted.</p>

<p>I started with the Super 8 schools, then guessed on the Auckland and Christchurch schools - who turned up less than I expected. Then I guessed on the Central Regions comp schools they started in the past couple of years and got a bunch that I normally wouldn't have thought of.</p> -
<p>26/33 and that's with knowing where the likes of Read, Dagg and Mealamu went to school. No idea with most of the Wellington boys.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No players from the school with the most ABs and only 2 from the school that's second on the list. Times have changed...</p> -
<p>Here goes quiz no2 for the day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>75 or more caps for France. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Only 2 centurions, shows actually how much French coaches have chopped and changed their teams over the years.</p> -

<p>Spelling probably my achilles heel on the French quiz if I hadn't made the quiz myself!</p>

<p>4 ... pathetic effort.<br><br>
A few I'd have never got but my mind wasn't on the job properly anyway.<br><br>
The hirsute equine like creature I missed as I couldn't spell his name.<br><br>
Should have got 76. Could picture him but his name escaped me.</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p>I got 4 but missed 4 others due to spelling (even though I knew the name) and the last one I spelled exactly the same as it is written at the end.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some of them I barely know that they played so many matches and I was always a fan of French rugby.</p> -
<p>Same - got four, but the other three I identified I couldn't spell and the nickname for Booboo's steed didn't work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To be honest, I pay little attention to the six nations countries these days - except when we play them - so me attempting these "foreign" quizzes is largely a waste of time.</p>
