<p>Cities in which the ABs and the Boks have done battle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Re the biggest losers, neither would be happy to hold that record I would imagine. At least one of the 2 still holds the record for most games and tries in his position. Both those records will be hard to pull in.</p> -

<p>That Most-Losses record would be a stink one to have. At the time those two were playing they were dominating all sorts of records, and now that's pretty much the only one they have.</p>

<p>That got me thinking, who has the most.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most Test Losses by Country:</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Four tied on 44 for Australia, although only one is current, possibly two....</p> -
<p>Nice. Deliberately avoided a most losses quiz internationally as there are a bunch of Italians with 70 or more losses. Seemed like I was picking on them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>14/15 missed one of the two Englishmen, and there was no way I would have guessed him.</p> -

Good quiz.<br><br>
Missed 4 coaches 77 through 84 (although I knew 83-84s first name ... ), who I should have known, and the first three and 72-73 who although familiar I wouldn't have got.<br><br>
[Spoiler] Wasn't Gilbert co-coach with Smith? [/spoiler] -

<p>9/19 47%</p>

<p>I got all the ones from my life time onwards. Other names don't stand out as much even though I have read about them sometimes.</p> -

<p>Nope, assistant.</p>

<p>12/19. I got all in the 2nd column and only three in the 1st column.</p> -

<p>Same.</p>

<p>[spoiler]Allen, Vodanovich and Stewart. I knew there was an Otago coach (Watson), but couldn't think of his name. Should have got Gleeson and possibly Burke. Vodonovich sticks in my memory because TP McLean (I think) said of him that he took away a rugby team and brought back a bunch of cross-country runners.[/spoiler]</p> -
<p>That always happens for some reason. Anyone from anywhere can pick up the quiz via jetpunk and do it, so seldom does any answer get picked by 100% of people, as basic as it might appear to us rugbyheads.</p>

<p>I got two of your ones.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler] I got Allen and Vodanovich - who incidentally took up about 30 seconds in spelling errors - and then Gleeson. I should have got Watson because he was the idiot who left Bruce Robertson at home in 1980 and being a good Hastings Boys' man I really should have remembered that. I should have got Stewart.

<p>Early morning flight to Auckland for work and then an evening flight back. Here goes what was supposed to be tomorrow's quiz.</p>

<p>Top tryscorers by year in the 90s. Crikey, 1994 threw a spanner in the works of this quiz!</p>
