My Latest All Blacks Quiz
-
<p>7/15 - I genuinely knew DC, McCaw, Ma'a and Franks. Picked up three others with some tactical guessing - could have got quite a few others. Nepia's spoiler is exactly the tactical guesses I tried.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]I should have got BBBT, but I typed in Burwood when I meant Burnside. "University" wasn't good enough to get Conrad. "Marist" got no-one. and I knew Cory was from "Hutt Valley", but that wasn't good enough.[/spoiler]</p> -
<p>Fuck. Why did I put DC in there! Quiz amended immediately and I will accept Marist from here on in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Acronyms also accepted in case of Conrad and Piri.</p>

<p>By the way I am a Catholic with a University degree so nothing against either set of clubs!</p>

<p>100% and 56%.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I looked this up for the ABs in the last couple of years so I knew the really hard one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had a fair idea who the Frenchman would be, but no chance of remembering his name - let alone spelling it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]Pretty sure it was him who missed a whole heap against us - four or five in one test? [/spoiler]</p> -
<p>Mid 80s I think it was, we won by 1 point I think and he missed several dropped goal attempts.</p>

Would have 1984. Aussies missed two late in the third test as well (in the series that followed). I think Dalton made some comment about having sunburn on the roof of his mouth watching the droppies fly over his head.<br><br>
Anyway I missed the Frog as I didn't realise he'd been around long enough to kick that many. And I remembered missing so many...<br><br>
Did try Monsieur Le Drop ... but ironically he wasn't on the list. -

<p>That'll teach you for quoting Keith - fraught with danger</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Most tests by age 22</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I won't do an international quiz on this one, however George North played 52 tests aged 22 or younger, whereas our top guy got 30. What an achievement that is.</p>
I missed the two with 17.</p>
