My Latest All Blacks Quiz

Chris B.

I think the only AB loss I've attended was the 1993 Lions test in Wellington.

I was close enough to Rory Underwood that I could have leapt from the crowd in Peter Van Zyl fashion and failed to tackle him!

Ive seen 41 tests live but only 4 defeats. 2 against England 73 and 83.

World XV in 92 (first game back in NZ - so I saw back to back defeats) and France 94.

All were shocking in their own way

Bovidae

44 tests live for me, including some RWC games not involving the ABs.

Of the AB tests I've only witnessed 1 loss - in my own fuckin' backyard (SA in 2009).

I did see the French lose on their 1994 tour, and that was against NH at Eden Park.

So you have a 90% winning record. Impressive.

FYI I'm unbeaten after 7 ...

@booboo Me too!

dogmeat

@Bovidae That's a pretty good winning record

I didn't have that many opportunities to see AB's live until I was in my 30's through a mix of only played about 5 tests at EP in the 70's and another half doz in the 12 winters I spent in Europe. Crazy when compared to todays programme.

My dubious distinction is that the first AB side I saw only contained one player born after WWII (NMS' uncle) and 3 born before it started

Rugger Quizzes

100% winning record.

@dogmeat
My first AB test was vs the World XV in 1992 and it was 4 years later before I went to my second test. The majority of my AB tests have been post 2000 but I also lived outside of NZ for 4 years in that decade so didn't attend any tests, or be able to watch most of them on TV.

Aaarrgh ... missed 3

Didn't realise you were including proposed opponents from 2017! ! ! My phone doesn't scroll when quizzing!

So 2 of the misses were upcoming opponents through lack of time.

So I'm claiming I missed one .... from 1971 ...

Will be pretty obvious which one i missed i think

Remember the game against England well. Boy did the English get ambushed up in Edinburgh that day by a Scottish team full of resolve!

Chris B.

@booboo Yeah - I was late on the planned opponents for 2017, as well. Ended up missing two others - both of which I would have got with another minute.

7 only ...

Had three goes at spelling the 6!! The "great" ...

All that I missed were familiar but was really only no.1 that I am embarrassed about missing

6 was one of the few I got. After a while, I realised I was operating in a different era and having tried Taggart and MacBeth, I gave up!
