Fun facts / Bonus question - In that period we had 26 halfback/1st 5 combos start in only one test/match. One of the halfbacks started in 3 tests, each of those was with a different 1st 5. Can you name the halfback and the 1st 5s he started with?

Given how well known the Marshall/Mehrts combo is/was I can only assume that it has been talked up over the years by cantabs or a bloke with a microphone
There were the 90s glory days (which I haven't covered)!

@ACT-Crusader If it is the halfback I think it is, he started in 4 tests with a different 1st 5 in each.

MehrtsDevine started 7 tests - Spencer 6 and Mertz 1 only (Carter started at 2nd 5 in 3 of those tests)

If it's the one I think you are thinking of, I've only got 3 matches.
Just to clarify it is 3 matches (2 tests and 1 non-test)
-
@ACT-Crusader Yeah, I wasn't counting the last game as a test.

@Bovidae said in AB Quizzes (Wingers + others):
For anyone wondering, the halfback I am referring to is Brendon Leonard, who in his 4 tests starts had Evans, McAlister, Donald and Carter at 1st 5. But he also had Donald at 1st 5 when the ABs played the Barbarians. So that's NOT the answer.
Leonard only started 4 tests??!!

And 9 as a sub. Only played in 2007 and 2009.

Yep. 3 starts, one each with Carter, Cruden and Sopoaga.
Interestingly in each of those three starts the midfield combination and players were different!

TKB only had 3 starts? I mean I can understand Leonard, he got more starts and more bench spots than he should have, but TKB seemed like he was a fixture in the team.

Question 5 - Which players have started at 2nd 5?
Clue: more players have started at 2nd 5 than 1st 5

this is the All Blacks, probably half of the ABs capped since then.
